Live Feed - Wednesday, June 20

• Joy and Jeffrey are talking about the game.  Jeffrey thinks that each player is mostly primarily competing with himself, and she agrees.  Jeffrey starts to say something about the bed situation this week, but Ori summons them into the living room, so we miss the rest of his sentence.
• “The voters are still voting on many critical votes”?  I didn’t realize that all carbs v. all protein was “critical.”  
• Ori tells them that we voted to send celebrity impersonators into the house.  I’m not sure that they understand that they’re not actually getting to meet Robert DeNiro or Tom Cruise.  They get to meet some dude pretending to be Robert DeNiro or Tom Cruise.  Stephanie tries to tell them that it’s probably a dude in a costume, but no one else is listening to her.  Poor thing.  
• Ori tells us that she is also excited as a Tom Cruise impersonator comes up the elevator shaft.  That’s too bad, because I was all prepared to talk about Robert FauxNiro.  I’ve designed to call him Atomic Cruise.  Ori says that she wants them all to do some impressions or impersonations.  
• I think ABC picked Atomic Cruise because she could use phrases like “Risky Business,” “Far and Away” and “Impossible Mission” (she messed it up, not me).  We’re supposed to rank them with “Spot On,” “Not Bad” or “Don’t Quit Your Day Job.”
• Joy asks Atomic if she can shake his hand, then hugs him.  
• Instead of alphabetical order, Atomic gets to pick the order.  He calls the only name he knows at this point - Joy.
• Apparently, they get to pick their own impressions.  That sucks.  Joy has no idea what to do, so she does the world’s worst Forrest Gump impression.  I think she’s trying to be physically handicapped?  Way to piss off a huge percentage of the population with that one.  Also, she only said “Life.  Chocolates.”  Whatever.  “Don’t quit your day job”, Joy.  Seriously.
• Erica does a really good impression of Samantha from Sex and the City.  Well, I assume that’s who it was.  Something is off, because I was presented the option to vote before she did the impression.  I guess I should have guessed she would rock it.  The other viewers disagreed.  DQYDJ, Erica.
• Mike actually does a DeNiro impersonation.  Someone guesses Barney the Dinosaur.  Atomic asks if he is doing Barney the Dinosaur doing a DeNiro impression.  DQYDJ.  (I admit, I voted for that without seeing the impression).
• We get to vote whether we liked Mike, Erica, or Joy’s impression the best.  I’m not sure if it actually registered my vote.  They talk about Tom Cruise movies while we wait.  That’s better than doing nothing, I suppose.  Slightly.
• Erica wins the best impersonation, and the game continues.  Stephanie is next.  It’s Margaret Mead!  (Ok, I've been told it was actually Jane Goodall.  Shows what I know.)  She said that someone got it, but I didn’t hear what they said.  “Not bad.”  I imagine she got  bonus points for acting like a monkey, and I’m OK with that.  
• Holly is next, and I have no idea what the hell she’s doing.  The Rock?  I thought someone said Barack Obama.  I have no idea.  DQYDJ, Holly.
• Jeffrey does Theresa from the Real Housewives of New Jersey.  It’s pretty good, and the viewers agree.  “Spot on.”  We’re asked to vote on Stephanie, Holly, or Jeffrey.  Jeffrey wins, obviously.    
• Andrea asks to borrow Jeffrey’s glasses.  Is she impersonating him?  No, it’s Steve Urkel.  Everyone gets it.  The voice is bad, but the high pants, snorts, and glasses are hilarious.  “Spot on.”
• Kevin does an absolutely hilarious impression of Chris Farley doing his “van down by the river bit.”  It’s wonderful.  So wonderful, in fact, I present you with a video in memory of Chris Farley.  RIP, Chris.  Ori tells us that it’s like she was looking right at him.”
• Robin.  What is she doing?  Susan Sarandon?  Jeffrey says it’s his 9th grade English teacher.  Is she Omarosa?  She is, but it takes awhile to get there.    
• We vote on Andrea, Kevin, or Robin.  Kevin was hands-down the best.  While we wait, Robin, Erica and Stephanie discuss a Cincinnati three-way.  Now, THAT would be entertainment.  Kevin wins!  Woo!
• Apollo. He actually quoted Melissa’s audition video as part of his impression of the entire Glass House cast.  I’d link to her bio, but ABC deleted it as part of pretending that she doesn’t exist.  Sorry, Melissa!  DQYDJ, Apollo.  
• Oh, look!  Melissa's video is still on YouTube!  I wish you were here Melissa.  You seemed far more awesome than Holly.
• Ashley.  She does Rosie Perez, and it’s awesome.  It helps that she looks just like her and she’s got an accent.  That was very good.
• Gene.  He’s doing three movies, one impression.  It’s clearly James Earl Jones, Field of Dreams, and I am so, so, sad that no one got it.  He then starts doing Darth Vadar right as Erica realizes who he was doing originally.  For some reason, he keeps going, and now he’s Mufasa!  
• Holly, “When you said Simba, for some reason, I was thinking The Lion King.”  Everyone else, “Simba is The Lion King.”  Holly, “Oh….. duh.”  I vote for Ashley over Gene and Apollo, and we sit around.
• Ori asks each of them to discuss their favorite James Earl Jones movie.  ANY ANSWER OTHER THAN STAR WARS IS UNACCEPTABLE.  I’m not listening.  Star Wars, Star Wars, Star Wars, Star Wars.  Eff you, Holly and your Lion King bullshit.  Star Wars.  
• Stephanie says that she liked Eyes Wide Shut, so I’m relieved to realize that she was asked her favorite Tom Cruise movie, NOT her favorite James Earl Jones movie.
• Gene won, and Joy asks to do another impression.  Then she talks about “making the sex” and climbs into Erica’s lap.  Apparently, it’s Borat.  It’s weird, awkward, and unnecessary. 
• Ori asks us to vote on the best overall impression.  Unless you haven’t been reading, you won’t be shocked to realize that I chose Kevin.
• Atomic Cruise tells us that one of the most memorable scenes for him is the fight scene in The Last Samurai.  That was after Tom joined a cult and became scary, so I never saw it.  My obsession ended when he found Scientology (but I’ve seen everything he’s done before that, including the scene in All the Right Moves where you get a brief penis shot, and Endless Love, which is, hands-down, the worst movie of all time).  
• Did Atomic Cruise tell us that his first acting job was Legend?  That’s a fail.  Legend was 1985.  Endless Love was 1981, and so was Taps.  There were a few movies pre-  Ori tells us that Gene won the impression contest.
• WTF?  1.  Why is there a link to My Space at the top of my toolbar, and how did I accidentally click on it, losing the feed?  *sigh*   I missed something.  When the feed comes back, Atomic is leaving, and we’re asked to vote on either “super power” or “special object.”  I admit, I have no idea what “special object” means, so I vote for them to talk about what super power they would like to have.  I guess ABC isn’t ready to have us all talk 
• Ori tells us that the first question came from Shawn Bakken, and Stephanie gets all excited.  She tells us that he’s in Mensa, he’s a geek, and he was on Beauty and the Geek, and she throws a shout out to Mensa.  It’s weird, but funny.  Then Joy starts talking about how she thought Atomic was the real Tom.  She has to be lying.
• “If you could have any super power, what could it be and why?”
• Stephanie is really excited, because she knows him.  Possibly for that reason, Ori tells her to go first.  She wants to be telekinetic, because then you can do anything.  You can make yourself fly, read minds, levitate, do anything.  I was just wondering if she watches a lot of X-Men when she said she would “Go all Jean Gray,” so that answers that.
• Robin wants a time machine so she can see how things would play out and change it.  That’s not really a super power, so much as a special object.  Ori points out that she answered it wrong, and Robin clarifies that she wants the ability to time travel.
• Mike wants to be booger man?  Remember how I refused to do this with him?
• Kevin wants to fly.  Who can blame him?
• Joy wants to be invisible.  She says that she wants to be like Ori, and Ori says that everyone does.
• Jeffrey wants to be a shapeshifter.  I think he also watches X-Men, because Rebecca Romain-Stamos is freaking awesome.  
• Holly says something about wanting to live and experience someone else’s life, or to wake up and magically be ready to go places.  So, she wants to not spend hours  a day on her hair?  She could just STOP DOING THAT.  
• Gene wants genetic molecular rejuvenation to help himself and others around him.   That would be awesome.
• Erica would like the power to be a sexy tween vampire, because that’s super in right now and she’d have good skin and she’d sparkle.  That’s not really a super power.  I’m sad, because someone I love just made a Twilight reference.  We might have to break up.
• Ashley wants mind control.  Who doesn’t?  She also wants people to come to the sound of her voice, in a Pavlovian way.  She tests her power.  “Vote for me.”  It didn’t work.
• Apollo.  Wants the same, but wants to also control Ashley.  Well-played.
• Andrea is talking about being super flexible, but from her description, I believe she wants to be Inspector Gadget.  

                         

• Stephanie thanks Shawn for the question, and Jeffrey says, “I love Mensa, too!”  That was cute.  Now everyone is talking to Shawn.  That’s funny.
• We have to pick a headline for them to discuss.  Why?  The feed is ending.  Anyway, the Connecticut Man Calls 911 over Beef About Sandwich is so funny,  don’t read the other option.  The other one is Obesity Puts Pressure on Earth’s Resources.  That’s boring.  Oh, good.  The sammich question wins.  
• Ori reads them the story.  Apparently, the man’s sammich was not made to order, so he called the police.  
• Holly doesn’t understand why they didn’t fix the sandwich.  This is actually an excellent point.
• Gene is upset because 911 is what you call when your house is on fire.  Someone who actually needed help may not have gotten it because of this guy.
• Ashley said that other idiots have done this in the past.  That’s sad, because she’s right.
• Stephanie points out that there is also a non-emergency police telephone number (but doesn’t suggest that he should have called the police, period).  
• Andrea explains the definition of an emergency to us.
• Gene wants this guy to go to jail.  I’m with him, unless the sandwich was poisoned.  I am very much in agreement with Gene here.
• Erica says he should have grabbed one of the cops hanging out at sandwich shops, and Kevin says that he, in fact, enjoys a good sandwich.  Who doesn’t?
• Joy seems offended that there wasn’t better news that day.  Someone should tell her that these things are printed mostly when there’s no real news.
• Jeffrey is telling a story about how he was discussing homosexuality on the street with a Jehovah’s Witness, and the owner of the store called the police, even though they were standing on a public sidewalk.  Jeffrey waited for the police to come and tell the guy that he was a jackass.
• Kevin said they get those types of calls all the time.  Facebook threats, etc.  He also says that there was probably much more to the story than what it says.  
• Apollo is bummed that this is apparently the best headline they get from the outside world.  He wants better news.  
• The stream ends during Ori’s closing comments.  Damn.  I wanted to hear those.
• No Alex!  Yay!  I’m sad, because I suspect I won’t be able to type that again.
