In a unanimous vote, Mike is the first person evicted from the Big Brother 5 house. After playing a Majority Rules game, Marvin becomes the new HOH.
Well, we now know the new twist: Yes, Adria has a twin Natalie. Since Day Two, they have been trading places inside the house, playing as one person - Adria. Their 4th trade was shown live during tonight's show. The twin outside the house is also sequestered from the outside world, but does not see what's happening in the house. The Twist? If no one finds out by Week 5, both twins can play the game as individuals at the same time, thus earning the twin the right to go after the money.

I woke up and went downstairs and started watching the Today show. The audio sucked. Like it was over modulated. No clarity. Fuzzy. So, I changed the station. All my local stations sounded like that. Went to the movie channels - same thing. OK, let me try my TiVo. Ditto. After a few more tests, I realize 1) it's not my ears (whew!) 2) it's not the TV, so 3) it's my 15 year old Sony receiver/amp. We had the thing fixed twice, both times because the right channel went out. It's time to throw in the towel.
I drove up to the Sony Outlet Store up at the mall in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, where I not only got a referb unit with warranty, but I got 6 new speakers for just $20. It's my first foray into Surround Sound with a sub-woofer.
My whole TV viewing experience has now been changed and everything I'm watching sounds foreign to me. I guess I got to get used to the wonderful sound...
