Live Feed - Thursday, June 21

• This feed actually starts with Andrea and Gene trying to figure out exactly how much people in the bathroom can see of people in the shower.  The verdict?   Some, not much, and most of the men are too nice to look.  People brushing their teeth and getting ready for the feed.
• Stephanie is dancing around in the living room, playing with balloons, trying to figure out if the feed is on..  From Andrea’s comments, and the fact that there are balloons everywhere, I think they were asked to blow up 500 balloons.  Stephanie is rubbing them on her hair and attaching them to the walls.  Science!!

                                            

• The chimes sound, and everyone gathers.  Stephanie says hello, and Mike starts screaming over her.  There’s something there, because twice in two days, he’s been a complete jackass to her under the guise of being funny, and I don’t see him doing that to the others.
• We’re asked to vote on what object they miss most from the outside world, or what was the last book they read?
• The players want to talk about the last book they read.  Unfortunately for them, the voting was gone before they said that.  Mike says that’s unfair to people who can’t read.  The viewers want to know what they miss most (excluding friends and family).  Ori does a random draw to determine question order.  Stephanie and Andrea are happy.
• Ashley: Being able to listen to, and record music.  This is probably the best possible answer she could have given to appeal to her fan base.
• We’re asked to vote on whether we’re currently on Twitter.  I don’t know why.
• Robin: Just wants to shower and use the bathroom by herself.  She thinks that’s boring, but Ori agrees with her.  Quite honestly, I understand.
• Andrea: Likes to go running, and not in circles around the house.
• Holly: Misses the sun, the air, the sand in her feet, and the world at large.
• I tell Ori that I would “maybe” lie and deceive to win in The Glass House.  I like to be mysterious.  Ori tells Ashley to change the battery in her microphone and she wanders out.  I think this is some trick, but it's not.
• Jeffrey: His vinyl collection - listening to, but also building.  Ori has an 8 track collection.  Seriously, I love Ori.
• Joy:  Also misses the sun and being in nature.  People need fresh air!
• Erica: Sex.  Way to keep it real, Erica.  She says it’s the most honest answer and refuses to elaborate.  There’s really no need.  Ori, “Couldn’t agree more.”  Hey, Erica, maybe you should have brought some "toys" with you.
• Apollo:  Writing, reading, and being able to create.  He looks like hell.  Wonder why.
• Gene: Taking his motorcycle out riding.  He also misses having music and dancing.  He should hang out with Stephanie.  She dances to the music in her head, and it looks like fun.  Gene also misses church.  So, he’s cheating by naming three things  instead of one.
• Kevin: Misses his job.  I actually appreciate the purity of that.  It’s nice to have a job that you enjoy and that you miss when you’re not there.
• Stephanie:  Shopping.  All kinds - clearance racks, grocery shopping, etc.  She likes poking around in the racks, even when she’s not buying.  Ori says Stephanie can do her shopping for her.
• Mike: Blah blah lying bullshit.  Shut up, Mike.
• Poll:  If you were in The Glass House, would you be a hero, be a villain, or fly under the radar?  Tough call.  I’m boring, so I suspect I’d be flying under the radar whether I wanted to or not.
• We’re asked to decide whether they should draw self-portraits, or their ideal mates.
• Oooh!  Maybe if they draw on all the walls, they’ll stop walking into them.  Ouch!  Twitter tells me that living in a glass house is painful. 
• They scatter, and Ori tells them to keep the drawings PG.
• Mike says that his ideal mate is a deaf-mute.  Nothing he says endears him to me.  
• Some of the markers aren’t working.
• Wow.  Stephanie is talking while she’s drawing, and Mike says, “Guess we have to hear every little detail.”  Someone, I think Andrea says, “Are you surprised?”  Maybe they’re not aware that the only thing more boring than watching people draw and listening to them chatter about their drawings is watching them draw in total silence.  Jeffrey tells us that he has a crush on Steph’s perfect mate.
• We’re asked to vote on whether we want to live in a house made of bricks, sticks, straw, or glass. I like throwing stones, so let’s go with bricks.  Plus, I like my exposed brick walls.
• Kevin is drawing an arrow pointing to Andrea.  Huh.
• Ori tells us that the contestants are adding to the artistic integrity of her structure.  
• Wow.  Is Gene standing on something?  Or is he just three feet taller than Erica?
• Hmmm… not crazy, has hands and feet, makes more money, likes board games….? I think Stephanie is trying to steal my boyfriend.  Bring it on!
• Joy’s ideal mate has a big heart and a smile.  That’s cute. 
• If you were in TGH, would you use a relationship to get ahead?  Probably, yes.
• Ori asks them to explain:
• Ashley: Must be “fine”.  He must be able to pick her up.  She’s tiny.  I could pick her up.  She wants him to be smart, sweet, and funny.  Also wants him to be emotionally stable.  Don’t we all, honey?  
• Robin: Wants a cartoon character, because living with her is crazy.  She needs someone with a big sense of humor and big heart.  She doesn’t want him to have better hair than hers, but she wants giant Dumbo ears.  I think her ideal mate is Will Smith.
• I liked Ori better when she interacted less.
• Andrea:  She drew her husband.  Of course she did.  And now she’s gushing about her perfect life.  She calls him K-Ristofer.  Whatever.
• Holly: I would kill for her hair.  In fact, I could cheerfully, kill her, scalp her, and wear it.  She’s giving a very generic answer, so I’m not listening.  She wants all the same crap everyone else wants and thinks they’ll find at 21.
• Jeffrey: Wants physical, mental, and emotional connection.  Duh.  But I love that he drew “golden arrows of connectivity” around his perfect mate.  It looks cool.  Oh, and he needs facial hair.
• Joy: Wants someone that is happy, with a big heart.  Jeffrey says he’s Joy’s perfect mate, and they hug.
• Erica:  Wants someone funny.  She also wants an older man so she will always be younger and hotter.  And she’ll be “refreshing” not “immature.”  He has to drink beer and have a strong jaw with stubble.  He must smell like testosterone and have crow’s feet and bushy eyebrows.  She also likes veiny forearms.  And her drawing looks kinda Asian.  She does not want a six-pack, because she doesn’t want him to be prettier than her.  I give you basically everything she said, because it’s honest and interesting, and not generic.
• Apollo: Drew his wife, but is worried that she won’t like the drawing.  He gave her wings and a halo.  I was staring with awwww, but then I barfed.  She holds a winning lottery ticket.  Nice!  Then, he tells us all that you can see her ass from the front, so she’s on her way to the courthouse now to file for divorce.
• Gene: Other than female, he doesn’t want to be too picky.  He’s looking for “true, pure love”, which defies size or shape.  I can appreciate that.  Wants someone beautiful inside and out, with curves.  “Big curves and little curves, just like roads.” I like that.  She also needs to be driven, and complete on her own.  I note that she’s holding flowers in the picture, so I hope he plans to give them to her.
• Kevin: Some form like Andrea.  I think it’s supposed to be sweet, but I find it bizarrely creepy.  I’m not sure I’m the only one.
• Stephanie: Giant brain, tall, enjoys cooking, well-read, funny, and expresses his love for her.  That’s important.  Not crazy, adventurous, etc.  Oh, and he has to let her brew schnapps in the backyard, and he has to make her feel good about being herself, so they can be happy together. 

                                                                           

• Mike:  Shut up, Mike. I hate you.  He drew a stupid guy who likes golf, drinks, will lo…. no.  Fuck it.  I’m done with you.  Mike bitches that Ori never comments on his stories.  Maybe it’s because he never gives a real answer.
• Should the viewers draw their happy place or their sad place?  I think my sad place plays non-stop reruns of The Glass House and won’t let me turn it off.  
• We’re asked to vote on how beautiful Ori is.  I give her a 10.  They go to draw their happy places.
• Ori’s happy place is “The Glass House”.  I lose video, so hopefully it’s there when I refresh.
• Wow.  Thanks, ABC.  I have to watch another commercial because your live feed stopped working?  C’mon - there are only 13 minutes left.  Let’s take a minute to think about Lays Potato chips while I wait.  I'm annoyed, so here's an ad for Pringles:               Mmmmm, Pringles!!
• Ashley: I missed this, but I think it involves the beach.
• Robin: Is she at the zoo?  She’s talking about being surrounded by animals, and she doesn’t care where.
• Ori wishes they had cats.
• Andrea: Blah blah I love my family.  My life is perfect.
• Holly: Church.  She must be worried that Andrea is going to get all the votes from the conservative crowd.
• Jeffrey: His friend’s farm that he mentioned yesterday, with the barn’s cabaret space.  It’s a big gay farm!  I want to go!  That sounds awesome!
• Joy: I really like her dress.  Her boobs look awesome.  Her happy place is her daughter?  That’s not a place.  I guess she just means at home.  My mind just went to a really creepy place where she tries to climb inside her daughter.  I watch too many horror movies.
• Everyone hugs Joy because she misses her daughter, and she starts to cry.  Poor thing.
• Erica: She’s wearing leopard print snuggy!, has a white russian, and there’s a hot cuban pool boy, a unicorn, and “a palm tree.  Duh.”  That sounds wonderful.  She apologizes for being who she is, but I can’t imagine why.  She’s delightful.
• Apollo:  He drew nothing, because his happy place is his wife.  PEOPLE ARE NOT PLACES!  Everyone “awww!”s his love for his wife, except Ori.  “Soo - you drew nothing.”  Ha!
• Gene: His happy place is committing suicide?  He drew himself leaping off a giant building.  Oh!  Doing stunts!  That makes way more sense.
• Kevin: On the couch, watching TV (football?), eating lunch, with nothing to do, about to fall asleep.  Joy points out that Jeffrey is in all of Kevin’s fantasies.  Hmmm…
• Stephanie:  Her happy place is in her head.  That’s hilarious.  She’s explaining “happy brain chemicals” by drawing a bell curve and talking about graphs.  I think I love her.  Everyone else wants to live in her happy place.
• Mike: Shut up, Mike.
• Ori asks us to vote on celebrity birthdays or trending Twitter topics.  The players all want to hear the Twitter topics.  They don’t care about celebrity birthdays at all.  They ask Ashley if she knows, because it’s her birthday, but she doesn’t.  I don’t know which celebrities share my birthday, either.  Probably because I deeply don’t care.  Twitter wins!

• #Game5
• #Taken2 (I have no idea what this means)
• #Thoughtsafterthecondompopped
• #WhileTwitterWasDown  
• Ori reminds us to watch the show, and they all wave good-bye.  The stream fades out as the contestants are trying to remember whether it’s Wednesday or Thursday.
