7th night - Friday

(1st Food Competition & 1st Nomination Ceremony)
Result of the 1st Food Competition: SLOP: Daniele, Eric, Jameka, Jessica, Joe, Nick, and Zach. FOOD: Amber, Carol, Dick, Dustin, Jen, (Kail), and Mike.
Result of the 1st Nomination Ceremony: Amber and Carol.

Carol got a little tipsy and whined and complained all night long about the cameras following her, meanwhile the producers kept harassing her to "stop playing with her microphone" (there was little else going on and she was creating drama - what did she expect?). Dustin talked to her for a long time about how it's just a game and that she should relax and try to have a good time. Then Zach came and gave her a backrub.

Joe starts up a "storytime" around 11pm (PST) to keep everyone entertained. He has memorized many short stories (word for word) just for this purpose. The cameramen of course cannot use this material because it is copyrighted. So since the group is small, they just focus on other people talking (unfortunately, this meant the camera was on Carol most of the time - other than that, there was an eerie silence throughout the house - people were still strange with each other and trying to get to know each other).
