Challenge time. This particular challenge involves laundry, and just the thought of how many words it would take for me to explain it -- and how small a payoff we'd all get from my efforts -- makes me tired. All you need to know is that Kent, Nicole, Shannon, and Bunky win fluff and fold services for their dirty clothes, and they're quite pleased about it.

America's Choice time. Again, with the boring. Again, with the lots of words for little payoff. Basically, the housemates get a toaster, and even the people who complain about the toaster enjoy their toasted foodstuffs.

Hardy's getting cranky. I think the pressure of being HoH and running Project Destroy Chill Town has gotten to him. He's all snappish and crabby whilst working out.

Speaking of working out, Nicole and Shannon have started exercising together, with Shannon acting as Nicole's trainer. Shannon seems really interested in helping Nicole improve her body, and she does act legitimately helpful. She'd be a great trainer, I think, because she's clearly in awesome shape, and all of her clients would be too scared of her satanic wrath ever to miss a session.

Will and Shannon are schoomping outside when Shannon sees a Black Widow spider and shrieks like a maniac. "That's totally your nickname in the house," Will says, "Black Widow!" Shannon doesn't find this nearly as amusing as I do.

For some reason, Hardy laughs at Shannon as she walks through the bathroom, swathed in towels. She is incensed. I wonder if Hardy's purposely baiting her. I don't know. Anyway, Shannon scampers back to the room she shares with Mike and Will and tells them she's going to get back at Hardy by using his toothbrush to clean the toilet. Mike laughs uproariously.
