[laughter]

This is nice, y'all.

This is so much bigger than I thought.

Check it out.

And they said it was decorated.

I mean, I like it.

Distastefully.

Did you guys see that?

Yeah, no, I mean, it's an Ikea showroom.

But-- [laughter]

--that's cool.

This is nice.

You guys, guys, check the pool out.

Check out the miniature pool.

[laughter]

It looked bigger in the picture!

[interposing voices]

I don't think we'll have any drowning deaths.

So, you guys, they're off the hook.

Hilarious. [laughter]

Wow.

Oh, my gosh.

Guys, everybody have a safe flight?

And everybody have an enjoyable trip?

Does anybody understand this?

Um, not today.

Give me a couple days.

We'll figure it out afterwards.

What does it say there?

I have no idea.

Want to take a tour outside?

We're going to do the outside tour.

[background conversations]

This is cool.

There you go.

Can I come with you?

Thank you.

OK.

Give us the name again, I'm sorry.

How many chickens do we have?

I don't know, but one of them got away.

[laughs]

- Here let's put him back in. - Why is he out there?

Should I? Here, I'll grab him.

Come here.

I know a little bit about these rascals.

- Do you? - Yes.

Grab them by that.

[inaudible] You chase this little b*stard around.

[laughter]

He's, like, don't touch me.

Do you know--

do you guys know--

I got a book on this that I got from the library,

which I'm going to have a massive late fine on when

I get back.

[laughter]

Something tells me they're going to understand this one.

[laughter]

[laughter]

Huh.

Aw.

Midtown Manhattan, no black people.

OK.

[laughter]

Are you the token person in your neighborhood?

No, man.

Come on.

[interposing voices]

This is New York.

It's New York.

What you mean by the token person?

He's trying to say that they let me in.

I'm fine.

But he's trying to say they let me in

so that they could say that it was diverse, you know,

basically.

And that's not the case.

I'm just [muted] with you.

I know you was.

[laughter]

Hi, everybody.

My name is George. - George.

George.

And you're from?

I'm from Rockford, Illinois.

Cool.

Which is maybe miles west of Chicago, OK.

I'm married.

I have three children.

OK, ages from all the way down to seven.

And can you imagine what a step that was for me

to actually do something like this my age with my children?

You're a deadbeat dad.

You ran out of your [muted] family.

[laughter]

I saw that [inaudible].

I've been married for years.

Oh, that's so nice!

Wow.

[interposing voices]

[inaudible] hook up.

They want some people to have sex.

[laughter]

This guy's only got one thing on his mind, ladies.

[laughter]

Cool.

That's really cool.

I guess it's my turn. I'll be quick.

My name is Curtis.

I actually grew up in LA.

I'm still mostly California.

But I've been in New York for the last five

years working and stuff.

And still single, and no kids that I know of.

[laughter]

I'm Jordan.

I'm .

And my degree is in filmmaking.

I'm a triathlete-- - Really?

- --too. - Amazing.

Yeah.

And I-- yeah, I did the Ironman last fall.

Oh, my god.

And I finished.

That's great

- What was the worst part-- - [inaudible]

--of the whole thing?

Um, the running.

The running.

What's your best event?

I mean, what do you like?

Biking.

Was the running last?

Oh, my gosh.

Yeah, it was swimming-- it was swimming . miles,

biking , and then running a marathon, which is ..

Sweet. [laughter]

- Seriously. - What's wrong with you?

[laughter]

All right.

Jamie, what's up?

I graduated from college last May.

And that was--

From Washington State University.

And I work for an internet startup company in Seattle.

My name's Eddie.

I'm from Long Island, New York.

I'm a student at the University of Texas in Arlington.

I go to school down there.

I play wheelchair basketball.

I'm on a full scholarship with the university.

Oh, cool.

Studying broadcasting as a major and theater in a minor.

Um, let me see.

I have a girlfriend from Heidelberg, Germany.

How long have you been with your girlfriend?

Oh.

Let me guess, eight months?

Oh, nine months? - Nine months.

- That was close. - [inaudible].

Ah, she's a psychic, too.

Psychic or psycho?

[laughter]

Eddie, can I ask you how you lost your--

I lost my leg to osteogenic sarcoma.

It was a bone cancer found in my left knee when I was .

And what happened was, it had started to spread up.

So to keep it from spreading to the rest of my vital organs,

they decided to take the leg off.

And then finished up chemotherapy by the age of ,

and then calcium returned to my bones at the age of .

And I started playing wheelchair basketball for a local adult

league on Long Island.

It just took off.

I met a lot of great people.

I mean, the mental aspect of it in itself,

you know, in terms of here I am, OK?

I'm a -year-old kid born with two legs running around.

You know, I used to play baseball, football,

hockey, all those things.

And now here I am limited, you know.

I'm on crutches, whatever.

In terms of mentally, I mean, there was no real period of why

me, why me?

It was just, like, well, this happened.

I'll deal with it.

[music playing]

NARRATOR: Later that evening, the HouseGuests

begin to choose their beds.

What are you doing in here?

What do you mean, what amI doing in here?

This is our room.

According to who?

I put my bag over there as soon as I walked in.

You can't stay here.

This is a girls' room.

There's no rules that say it's a girls'

room, not a guys' room.

[laughter]

[inaudible].

What?

"Big Brother's" going to be giving you a hard time.

No, they're not.

They didn't say women can't sleep with men.

Men can't sleep with women.

[laughter]

Well, won't this be interesting.

Wait a minute.

Y'all want to kick me out?

That's [muted] up.

I was in here first.

And then it's the girls' room?

I mean, you know?

Anybody want the top bunk?

I mean, no, but I mean, don't get me wrong.

- [inaudible]. - If you all would prefer--

I have to pee in the middle of the night all the time.

Ladies, if y'all would prefer the men to all--

[interposing voices]

I want this bed. But I y'all--

[laughter] - [inaudible].

If y'all would prefer the men to sleep

all together in one room, I don't have a problem with that.

Do all the girls want to be in one room

and all the guys be in one room?

That's not a problem for me.

I mean, before anyone moved into any room, I just came in here

and put my [muted].

But I mean, you know.

I don't want y'all to jump my a*s.

Well, I've got to think--

I want to stay in here with the girls, so--

That's no problem. I'm out.

I want to be in the room, too, yeah.

I'm out.

So nobody wants the top bed, right?

But I mean, OK.

- Excuse me. - You know what?

- Uh huh? - No.

[inaudible]?

I don't want it.

Excuse me.

OK.

But I'll take it.

If none of you guys--

if you guys really don't want it, I'll sleep up there.

[theme music]

NARRATOR: The women get to know each other.

I brought a dream book.

Oh, cool.

You know the dream I always have?

Huh?

My teeth are falling out.

Oh.

I always have that dream.

OK, I'm looking that one up.

That's scary.

It is scary.

Yes, it is.

And it manifests itself in several different scary

dreams--

chunks of my teeth falling out--

Teeth-- it's exceedingly common

to dream of losing a tooth or even

all of one's teeth falling out.

Such a dream may well occur simply because you grind

or crack or gnash your teeth in your sleep.

But the dream may also be a reminder from your subconscious

that it's time to make an appointment with the dentist.

It can also be an omen of financial problems.

Hm.

I've always had financial problems.

[laughter]

You're, like, that's probably it.

You know, there's not going to be a lot to do here.

You don't think so?

I can tell that now.

Yeah.

I don't know.

You know what's interesting?

You know what comes to mind right now?

The play, "Our Town"--

I don't know if you guys are too familiar with it.

But anyway, there's a section in the play

where there was a husband and wife,

and they're neighboring in an old Massachusetts town

or whatever.

And the old husband and wife, and they're talking about how

when they first got married, you know,

the husband said his biggest fear

was that they'd run out of stuff to talk

about within the first week.

And the house would just be filled with silence.

And she just comments on how, you know,

here it is something years later, here we are.

We still have something to talk about,

you know what I'm saying?

Now grant you, we're not going to be able to be able

to say, oh, did you hear about the president of so-and-so

to day?

Or did you hear about the sh**ting

in-- you know what I'm saying?

So current events is out of the way.

But I mean, just look back in your memories, in your Rolodex,

in your mind, and you can bust out anything and everything

it implies, you know.

Never mind whatever books or reading material you brought.

So I mean, in terms of--

I don't think it's going to get boring around here.

It'll just-- you'll be searching deeper to find something.

What is that--

I figured there'd only--

by September st, I think, that's another banishment,

there will still be six people in the house.

At September st?

Yeah.

So that's not that bad.

I mean, at least we'll be together for quite a while.

You know, that's a long time, though.

I know.

That is a long time.

That's a long time.

So you're almost, if you're--

if you just keep peace--

I don't know.

Hopefully, the public won't want people that are--

I can tell right now things are going to get testy.

I'll tell you right now, from what I understand from--

what was the black dude's name?

- Magnum? - Will.

Magnum? Will?

Will Mega.

Magnum, PI, and the sister, I forgot

her name, the young black lady?

Cassandra.

Cassandra-- right away, first three minutes we were here.

I could see there was some bad vibes.

I don't know if it's quote, unquote, like a "love, hate"

relationship, but right away I could tell

it was bad vibes between them.

I thought for sure Robert would be the one.

- Bad vibes. - I really did.

Bad vibes.

I thought that Robert was real easy going

and just a real nice guy.

But Will was kind of, like, trying

to keep everything in control.

And I thought, OK, they're going to put him on there

just to rub people, you know?

And he did a real good job at the very beginning.

[laughter]

That's going to be hard for me, guys,

though, to nominate anybody.

Yeah, that's the truth.

I heard that.

- That's going to be tough. - You know what?

I see that today.

You know, being--

That's true.

--two, three hours into it.

But give me a week.

And you know, by then, who knows?

You honestly don't know.

[music playing]

NARRATOR: "Big Brother" left an encoded message

for the HouseGuests.

[interposing voices]

- What are you saying F is? - I is an E.

F is O.

I is an E?

No.

We have O as an E.

You know what I'm saying?

This is probably all a bunch of crap once you read it.

It means nothing and I wasted a bunch of time.

Sort of, like--

So how far along are we?

Very close.

Really close.

We're still looking for W, X, Z, Y, and K, as well as N.

[interposing voices]

We still don't know what A is.

Tree-- is L R?

Yes. O is E.

Lemon tree-- there's something in a lemon tree.

Is there a lemon tree out there?

Yeah, there is.

Right here-- there was an N right here.

OK.

- [inaudible] one. - H.

Lot-- what did we say?

Wait, what-- what was this N right here?

M.

In error.

[laughter]

We don't have an I. We don't have a B.

That's the word, right? [laughter]

Well, what letters of the alphabet are left?

U and Benjamin-- you and Benjamin Franklin.

That's what that says. - Oh!

- You and Benjamin Franklin. - Oh!

Hundred bucks in the lemon tree, go!

One foot west--

West of the toe of the lemon tree lies the dirty surprise--

you and Benjamin Franklin.

All right.

Before we go there, let's get the full--

the full, um--

- Good job, you guys. - --alphabet [inaudible].

Yeah.

So if we get another test, we can do it.

So-- - Hm.

Smart.

Oh, good idea.

An engineer--

Maybe we can just [inaudible].

Did anyone see the lemon tree?

There's an actual lemon tree out there?

There's a tree out there.

But I don't know what a lemon tree looks like.

This is-- I agree with you.

[inaudible]?

This is what lemons look--

[inaudible]

This is what lemons look like?

I'm pretty sure.

Rotten lemons, you mean?

Oh, guys, look!

Here's lemons right here.

This is it, right here.

This is the lemon tree right here.

Right. Any guesses as to where west is?

It's one foot west. So that means it's out of the--

Well, the sun comes up that way.

So is that--

Wait a minute.

Hey, listen everyone.

If you dig it up now, you dig the wrong spot.

Then we're going to be taking the dirt

from around the area we need.

If we wait till tomorrow morning,

we'll see where the sun rises-- - You're right.

- And we'll be cool. - We don't need to--

We don't need to do right now.

But we might need it tonight, though, for something.

Is it the money?

I don't think we gonna get--

It's money for us to buy food and stuff later on.

Oh, good thinking.

But if we get up early tomorrow morning, which more

than likely we will, we'll--

Yeah, we're not starving right now.

I'm fine. - I'm fine for that.

- Tomorrow morning-- - Yeah.

We're fine for right now, right?

OK.

What if "Big Brother" knows we found it and they come out here

and take it from us tonight?

[interposing voices]

We'll just kick their a*s.

[laughter]

This is our [muted] house.

[interposing voices]

Somebody'd better sleep by the lemon tree.

What me to do it right now?

[laughter] - You guys can have--

[interposing voices]

[laughter]

I'm not going to worry about it.

[laughter] Good job.

[theme music]

I already think different about people

than I thought initially.

Than you had your first opinion?

- Really. - Yeah.

In just a few hours, like, I have already totally changed,

like, what I think.

- Like, what about me? - Oh, yeah!

[laughter] - Oh.

- Here we go. - You, too.

Here we go.

[laughter]

Here we go.

It's honestly, OK, no.

I don't want the truth.

OK.

No, honestly, yeah.

OK, I totally changed my opinion about you already.

Me?

Like, when I first met you I was, like, you

seemed like someone that probably came from money

and was prissy-- - Oh!

--and dense.

Yeah, and would totally not anything against you,

but sorority, you know, da da da da da, and Daddy's da da da,

like, one of those.

And it's super fine, like I could totally have more respect

for you now knowing that you're the only one in your family

that went to school and you paid for it.

I totally judged you wrong, right off the bat.

I was, like--

That's so funny.

I worried about that, too.

Like, I wondered--

I totally changed my--

They wouldn't have let me in this house if I was that way.

[laughter] You know what I mean?

There he goes.

Time to break in the shower, [inaudible]..

Oh.

Aw.

He's taking a shower already?

Mhm.

There's hot water now.

It's probably [inaudible].

I took one [yawns] right before I left tonight.

Yeah.

[interposing voices]

I took one this morning.

I'm going to take a few showers.

Me, too!

Same here!

I am, too.

[interposing voices]

I'm, like, we can do the whole wash cloth,

wipe yourself down, and not actually

get naked in the shower.

- Uh huh. - Did I interrupt you?

You were going to say something?

No, I was going to say I brought a bathing suit, that I

might use it as my shower suit.

You know, Travel Smith has--

they have brown underwear, but they're real expensive.

But they dry almost instantly.

And I thought oh, that would be perfect.

I ought to get brown underwear and wear that the whole time.

[laughter]

I'll wash it in the shower.

[inaudible].

[laughter]

Leave it on the whole time.

Absolutely.

I mean, I think after a couple weeks,

we'll all relax a little bit about it.

Well, I think it's so weird.

Because normally, I'm not that shy about that kind of stuff.

I mean, like, I went to school in France, and I went to--

I mean, I traveled around Europe.

And it's, like, there's nude beaches and stuff.

And it's, like, and I went topless

and it didn't bother me.

I go to Burning Man, and it's, like--

[inaudible] midgets?

Warm water?

Yeah.

My head's up here, man.

The shower [inaudible] my chest [inaudible]..

That's terrible.

But [inaudible] like, when you're on TV?

Yeah.

Everybody is cold.

You know?

It's just different.

Like, I'm way more self-conscious about it

right now than I normally am.

Anyway.

[music playing]

Do you guys know how to play many games?

I have a book right here.

It has card games in it.

- All right. - Here.

I'll get this out of your way.

Being shy is kind of good, though.

You think?

Because there's so many show offs in the world.

Yeah?

But sometimes I think you miss out on stuff.

Seriously, if I start talking, just say Josh, shut up.

Go back to sleep.

[water running]

OK, I'm going to check out the bed

and see if it's comfortable.

Hm, not bad.

[water running]

I'll see you guys later.

Goodnight.

Buenos noches.

It's kind of like training your teeth

to do what you want them to do.

Yeah.

So--

[laughter]

[inaudible].

That sounds like it hurt.

[laughter]

Well, what are you doing?

I'm jumping out of my bed.

Oh.

[theme music]

NARRATOR: Karen is having a difficult night.

I don't know so much miss them.

It's the idea, you know, that they're there, and I'm here.

But you know, I guess it was the goodbye last night, you know?

I can still see their faces, you know, with their tears

in their eyes.

I don't know.

It bothers me, you know?

And it shouldn't.

But I just feel like it's going to be--

it'll get easier, I think.

I don't think it will get harder.

I think it will get easier.

But just right now, I can just still, you know,

that's the vision I see of them.

NARRATOR: "Big Brother" continues tomorrow.
