THE BIRDS AND THE BEES
After Erika announces the Food Competition, the HouseGuests go into the storage room and find cool outfits for bees, birds and flowers. Will and Boogie grab the Bee costumes, while Danielle and Janelle don the Bird costumes, and Erika and George take on the flower outfits. As they head outside, they hear the rules. The birds and the bees have to dive into the nectar pool, where they will absorb as much nectar as possible and then return to the flowers and squeeze as much nectar out as possible. Their flower helpers assist with the nectar squeezing, which causes some issues with Boogie. Mike complains that “Chicken George has lost 20lbs, but unfortunately, he has about 40 more to go.” Janelle also complains, saying George’s 200 pounds are a little “uncomfortable” to bear. The luxuries and food up for grabs include a trampoline, a Slop pass for a week, beer and wine, and Christmas in August. Will really wants the trampoline, while George is jonesing for the Slop pass. When the final bell rings, the HouseGuests assemble to find out what they’ve earned for the week. While they miss out on bread and cereal and desserts and dairy, they are awarded the trampoline, Christmas in August, a five-star dinner and beer and wine. Will describes their diet this week as meat and beer, describing the menu as “the Atkins diet for alcoholics.”
LOVE IS IN THE AIR
The Chill boys talk about Erika’s thinking over a quiet game of pool. Will tries to remind Boogie that it will take some serious work to convince Erika that she does not want to nominate Will. “You better become Lance Shomance tonight,” Will reports telling Boogie. But on further reflection, Will shows less-than-full confidence, sighing, “Am I really putting my future in Mike Boogie’s lovemaking ability? This might not be pretty.” As they shoot some pool, Will emphasizes the somber nature of the situation this week. “I’ll work it. Don’t worry,” reassures Boogie.
Will starts romancing the backyard camera. “At first blush, you think I’m making sweet, sweet love to a camera, but I’m not, it’s for you, America!” Will comes up with some fantastically corny one-liners that are as charming as they are schmaltzy. George can only watch from the hot tub, an increasingly worried look on his face as he takes in the scene. “You do know what the Doc is doing,” George sighs, scratching his head. Boogie reports that there is trouble in paradise between Will and the camera, letting us know that, “(The camera) was playing a little hard to get, and a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do.” Boogie is referring to Will’s break-up with the camera that lasts all of ten seconds before he runs back, begging the camera to take him back.
