Live Feed - Monday, July 24, Part Two

• Ori welcomes the new viewers and recaps what we just saw.
• Next, she tells them that we voted on their most startling moments in The Glass House or if they believe in ghosts/the afterlife.  Those aren't really the same thing.  Of course, believing in ghosts wins.
• Gene tells us that there’s a prank war in the house.  This is the first I’ve heard of it, and I’ve watched everything.  Interesting.
• Gene wants to clarify heaven/hell vs. some other sort of afterlife.  He does believe in ghosts, in the sense that unexplainable things sometimes happen.
• You know, I have no idea what happens when we die, but I can wait to find out.  
• Joy does not believe in ghosts.  She believes that life is a tapestry, and her daughter is her legacy, and stuff like that.
• Erica absolutely believes in ghosts and reincarnation.  No need to think about it much.
• Andrea believes in spirits, which may not be “ghosts”, per se.  She also believes in an afterlife.  Shocking.
• Stephanie thinks that anything is possible, but she doesn’t claim to know what is going to happen.  She mentions the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and I suddenly want to marry her.  She goes on to say that it’s more important to live your life to the fullest and not count on there being something more out there.  I missed what she said about ghosts, but that’s OK.  She knows FSM and his noodely appendage.  She is awesome.
• Kevin believes in ghosts and an afterlife, but he’s not clear on how it works.  I don’t think any of us are.
• They go on to talk about psychics and stuff.  I don’t listen, mostly because I’m bored.  Erica is psychic.  Andrea agrees.  
• Ori decides to ask them all private questions in the confessional.  
• Kevin takes Erica into the confessional.  Interesting.  Ori agrees.  He must be drunk.
• “It worked for Holly.”  HA!  
• Kevin says that he feels like a character in bad fanfiction?  Awesome.
• How are you doing not smoking?
• I thought this was Kevin’s confessional?  So did Erica.  Oh, well.  She says she’s doing OK.  The first week was worse.
• Did you have real feelings for Kevin?  (Ori, “Pretend he’s not there.”)
• This is awful, because she did not choose to take Kevin into the confessional with her.  These questions should be directed at him.
• Anyway, she says that she does have real feelings for him.  I’m not going into the rest, but, basically, it can’t work.
• Whoa.  He never rejected her, she rejected herself?  This is ridiculous.  Someone needs to talk to this poor girl.
• Kevin asks if he gets to hear any questions.  Erica said that she thinks it was actually her confessional, and Kevin just tagged along.  Ori, “Yes.”  Kevin promises to let Erica stay for his.
• What would you do if Jeffrey didn’t come back?
• She said that she’d spend a lot more time with Kevin.  He doesn’t look happy about that.  Neither will she, when she realizes that also means sending more time with Mike.
• Erica adores Jeffrey, and she wants him back.  She’ll basically fall into a pit of despair.
• Erica wonders if she can get Jeffrey back if she threatens to start smoking again if they send Mike back instead.  I love her.
• After they leave the confessional, Kevin and Erica talk about their bizarre relationship .  It’s not going to happen, honey.
• Gene is next.  He takes Joy.
• Could you end your showmance with Joy if it was clear that the viewers could send you home because of it?
• Gene says that it’s not a showmance, she hates that term, and they’re just friends.  She has no feelings for him and he knows it.
• He says, 100% that he would unquestionably ditch Joy for $250,000.  Can’t say I blame him, all things considered.
• Who do you think is the next person to leave the Glass House?
• It depends on the next challenge - that’s a good point.  The most hated person in the house isn’t going home if his team wins the challenge.
• Anyway, Gene thinks that, if possible, Erica could try to hook up with Kevin and Andrea to send him home.  He also thinks that it could be Erica (because Kevin wants her out), or Andrea (because TeamJeffrey is against her), but that it won’t be Kevin, because Erica is crazy and will do anything to keep him there.
• C’mon.  You threw the challenge, right? Right?  Right? Right?
• He swears that he didn’t.  I assumed that he did, before I watched it.  
• Gene reminds us that Stephanie is a “certified genius, by the rest of the world.”  He thinks that the world should be proud that a stuntman could come in only six minutes behind an actual genius.  “Stephanie can make a rocket out of things we have in the kitchen right now.”
• Really?  That’s AWESOME!  I want to join Mensa and learn to make rockets!
• Gene says, assume that Mike’s BS about all the other players being equal was true - she’s still a genius, and he still isn’t surprised that he couldn’t beat a genius at puzzle solving. 
• Joy.  She goes alone.
• What will you take from The Glass House to teach your children?
• She wants her children to know the things that she’s learning about herself - be yourself, treat people the way you want to be treated…. the kinds of things that most people know, but you can forget, until you see how other people see you.
• Also, be confident in who you are, own your mistakes, and love yourself.
• Do you like Gene the way Erica likes Kevin?
• No.  They have a very different relationship than Kerica.
• I’m distracted by her cleavage.
• She says that her relationship with Gene involves mutual feelings and respect, and Erica’s relationship with Kevin does not.  Ouch.
• Who is your favorite player?
• Ori, “Not including me.” Sad.  Ori is my favorite.
• She says Gene.  She also loves Stephanie for a lot of reasons.  
• Andrea.  She also goes alone.
• She gets uglier every time I have to look at her.
• Would you rather see Erica or Joy be sent home?
• I imagine the real answer is “yes”.
• She says that she’d like to send Joy home first, because it would make the house more interesting.  Also for the effect on Gene.
• How do you feel about being the best looking woman in the house and the most real person?
• She’s neither, so I am simply not going to listen to her response.
• She does claim that she doesn’t think she’s the most attractive, but she spent a lot of time talking about how hot she is the first couple of weeks, so I call bullshit.
• What do you believe has been your biggest mistake in the Glass House?
• Putting too much trust in the other players, not the viewers.
• Stephanie.  Also alone.  
• What do you believe you need to do to gain more support from the viewers?
• She wants to focus more on connecting with the viewers and less with the other players.
• She’s in a weird, unfortunate situation because she was constantly being drafted by a team that chose her specifically to try to get rid of her. 
• She’s also trying to open up more, because that’s what she thinks the viewers want.  Of course, she doesn’t know what we’re seeing, but she’s trying to talk more and show more aspects of her personality.
• She knows FSM!!!!  Vote for her in honor of his noodely appendage!  
• As having the nicest booty in the house, would you ever use that to your advantage?  Gene, perhaps?
• She’s laughing hysterically, because she had a lot of booty issues growing up.
• She mentions that her first husband would freak out any time she gained a few pounds.  It wasn’t until recently that she stopped being so self-conscious about it, but she is glad that we like it, since she has no boobs.
• Also, she and Gene are friends and Stephanie has no interest in him.
• Would you consider aligning with Andrea and Kevin, since Joy and Erica are losing some credit?
• She had no idea that Joy and Erica are losing any credit.
• At this point in the game, she thinks alliances are irrelevant and it’s more about the end game and every man for himself.
• She said that aligning with Andrea and Kevin would do nothing but make her look like a backstabbing asshole.  She’s right, actually.  I’m glad she’s self-aware enough to realize that.
• Kevin is actually called into the confessional this time, and Erica goes with him.
• How are you enjoying those woman nails?
• He only has 8, because there weren’t any thumbs that fit.  Going to the bathroom is “pretty dicey”.  So, they’re pretty and fun, but not very practical.
• Erica chimes in that Gene’s regular nails are that long.  She says he thinks it’s sexy, but Erica and Kevin disagree.
• Did watching Erica and Jeffrey make you jealous?
• No, because he’s not that into her.
• He’s still talking, but… whatever.
• If Mike doesn’t come back, would you start an alliance with the others?
• No.
• He does say that he doesn’t care about anyone else, but he wants to see Erica and Andrea at the end.  Andrea totally sounds like an afterthought.  Trouble in paradise?
• Entering the final hour, Ori recaps the episode again.  Ori tells us that Jeffrey v. Mike is the closet the vote has ever been.  Vote for Jeffrey!!  
• Ori again tells them to say who to vote for?  I did this.
• We learn that Jeffrey gave Stephanie his #Fanswer and told her to reveal it to Gene only after he was gone.  That’s interesting, unlike the rest of this.
• Stephanie points out that everyone ignoring Mike and not talking to him is not interesting, whereas Jeffrey makes for interesting TV.
• Kevin and Andrea interpret Jeffrey’s action to mean that he wants to go home.  That’s asinine.  If Jeffrey wanted to go home, he could pull a Jacob and just quit.
• In the living room, there are noises and stuff coming from the tubes.  Ori is talking about a “special communication device.”  Awesome!  She sent a Ouija board up the tubes.  If you have the slightest interest in watching people play Ouija, find the live stream and watch the last half hour.

                              

• Andrea is questioning whether her religion would allow her to participate, even though she doesn’t believe in it.  I’m very confused as to what she’s saying, but I’m pretty sure it’s time for me to drink.
• Ori calls them into confessional to tell us what question they’re going to ask the spirits.  Whatever.
• Gene actually rolls his eyes as he’s called away.  I’m with you, Gene.  He wants to know if Erica is trying to “backdoor” all of TeamJeffrey to keep Kevin in the game?  Probably.
• Andrea can’t be bothered to play, but she says that she can see them moving it.  Shut up, Andrea.  Either play, or go somewhere else.
• Andrea then calls Gene out for pushing the thingy around.  He spelled out genius, so whatever.  BitchFace’s question is, “Is Jeffrey coming back?”
• Joy wants to know if Erica will stab her and Gene in the back to make herself look good in front of Kevin.  Sadly, I think maybe she would.
• Joy literally walks back, sits down, and shoves the triangle (what is that thing called?) to “yes”.  Way to rig it, Joy.
• Kevin wants to ask if we are “finally tired” of Joy “the buzzkill” and whether we will finally vote her into the bottom 2.  Well, Kevin, if it helps, I’m done voting for her.  Everyone who doesn’t know the question went to “no,” then Kevin yanked the damn thing to yes.  Planchette?  Is that what it’s called?  I wasn’t invited to sleepovers as a child.
• Thanks, ABC, for showing us Erica peeing and wandering out of the bathroom without washing her hands.
• Erica wants to know if we think she’s “marriage material.”  Poor thing.  The answer is “victor” which I take to mean that she’s totally marriage material.
• How much, on a scale of 1-9, should she trust her friends on the show?  The answer she gets is “B.C.”  Huh.
• My eyes glaze over, and 8 minutes later or so, they all say good-night.  The feed doesn’t actually end.
• Everyone wants to shower off their costumes, so I don’t know there will be a lot to see her.
• Andrea is whining about the food.  Stephanie decides to make Hot Pockets.  She tells Andrea how much fun the show is, she’s having an awesome time, and she feels like a kid again.  She’s dancing around like a total dork.  It’s adorable.
• In the bedroom, Stephanie and Joy talk about the questions she was asked in the confessional.
• There’s nothing to see here.  ABC must agree, because that’s it.
