Well, we see stories about Robert and the women, the first 3 evicted houseguests (Amanda, Michelle, and David), we see Jee arrive at the Jury House (and Dana, even though she's screwing Justin every night (or so we think) STILL looks pissed-off), and we see Alison use the Power of Veto as she takes herself off of nomination for the third time, automatically putting Erika up as a nomination for eviction. As Erika sits down in the orange chair we see a commercial about applications are now being accepted for Big Brother 5. After the break, we see Alison tearfully evict Erika live to her face. DAMN. I didn't want to see that happen. Eventually, it's time for the final Head of Household competition. It's going to be in three parts (The first is tonight, with the winner going to Part 3. Part 2 is probably tomorrow, with the winner going to part 3. The two people in Part 3 battle to win the final HOH). Anyway, just as last year, this will be an endurance challenge where you must hold onto your key. This time, the remaining houseguests are standing on little houses. Not a big deal... for a little while. Then a snow machine kicks-in over the wall, throwing "snow" (or more likely shaved ice) onto the houseguests. Apparently it's coming down in chunks, some larger than your fist and it hurts. The show ends and we are left to find out the results by watching the live feeds on the internet.
Update: Well, this didn't last long - only about an hour and a half. First out was Jun, followed quickly by Robert. Alison wins the first part of the final HOH challenge.

How do you tell somebody that you dropped and broke their satellite? Guess that happened a few days ago at Lockheed Martin in Sunnyvale, California. the NOAA-N Prime satellite was on a "turn over cart" and was being moved from vertical to horizontal when it, um, fell over. Why did it fall over? Techs from another project came over two days earlier and removed 24 bolts to be used on their "turn over cart" and didn't document it, and then the project techs didn't check to make sure the bolts were actually there since the last time they used it.
Tonight is a Full Moon, which, since it's the fool moon closest to the start of Fall, make it the Harvest Moon.
What is going on out there? Am I seeing a second wave of the Sobig.F virus? My email is getting flooded with that crap again. I hate viruses that spoof email addresses...
OK, folks, look... you have no idea how exciting this is to Chicago baseball fans... New York - you've had your subway series. Big friggin' deal. It's not like the Yankees or Mets have been out of contention for decades, so screw you right now...
The last time the White Sox and the Cubs have both been in First Place in September was...
1906
That's when the Sox beat the Cubs in the World Series. The third World Series.
The last time the Cubs won the World series was 1908. Since then, both clubs have finished behind the league winners by under 10 games together only twice.
Since 1940, both teams had winning records at the end of the season only five times.
This is a big deal!
So, here it is September 10.
White Sox Magic Number: 17
Cubs Magic Number: 19 (or, as the t-shirts say around "The Cell" - 911)
