Dingo's Hamster Watch - Big Brother 5

"Position the habitat of your hamster somewhere light and airy,
away from drafts, heaters, direct sunlight and other pets.
Never put it on or near a television, radio or hi-fi or a fridge."

This site isn't about who should win, who will win, who I'd be friends with, or who is cute. It's about watching hamsters: which ones are doing what and why. Which are fun and which are dull. If they aren't entertaining, get rid of 'em! More to come, bookmark & come back! .. that dingo

It's all right, Ma

Cowboy phones home via hamster-cam:

Cowboy: Hi Mom! I'm just here having fun with two twins.. err.. I'm here with the twins.. uhh..

Twin: Two twins!

Twin: Whoo-hoooo!

Cowboy: It's all clean Mom, nothing sexual going on

Wow those twins are really working Cowboy - he isn't complaining though

Booze delivery! They all gather in the backyard - even the mostly anti-social twins

They try out their new backyard fireplace (you can too!)

Diane talked so much about smashing the Hello Kitty that Jase gave her
but she never got around to it.. tonight Hello Kitty goes on the grill

Sex chat ensues.. sex toys, anal, spit vs. swallow, felching, shrimping, etc..
Diane and Nik whisper and giggle.. Nik even cracks up! It was good to see

Marvin's working: talking sex technique with Drew again, who's suitably awed & impressed, and quizzing the girls - especially Diane - "would you do this?" "would you do that?".. He acts like Diane's never said before that she's never had an orgasm

Diane hates it, loves it, hates it, loves it - it is after all, attention

But Nik pulls out all the stops, claiming she has no gag reflex (and demonstrating how she can touch her tonsils with her tongue - much to Marv's amazement)
talking about realistic dildos.. artificial vaginas.. and the pièce de resistance:
"Excuse me waiter, there's a foreskin in my burrito"

Marvin: Are you ex-bulimic or something?

Karen says she's afraid of bugs - all bugs - they all tease her about it..
and then Marvin tells a story..
His cousin got taken to the ER once with a bug in his ear..
He goes into great detail, and busts up while Karen squirms

Marvin: Forceps were used in his ear to get the bug out while it was dying..

(thanks to Amy's Bus Ticket for Marvin's hysterics pics)

Finally they disperse: Marvin douses the grill.. Nik passes out looking like a sleeping little girl with her stuffed cow in spite of her explicit sex chat earlier.. Cowboy gets back up to answer BB's call to close the blinds

Big Brother: Thanks man.. Michael Ellis, our personal hero

The hand-jivers fight for awhile - she's jealous about twins, he's jealous about Marv - then follow their established pattern by making out and jiving for awhile (feeders thought they'd do more, but apparently they didn't fight long or hard enough)..
Karen lies awake listening

Diane: Do you understand where I'm coming from.. trying to help you out?
(about the game or about his 'needs'? it's a tough call)

Back in his bed between two twins, Cowboy creeps out some more..
staring left, right, and ahead - over and over and over

Goodbye kitty

I think Hello Kitty was Holly's, left behind for Jase, who stuck band-aids all over it, and gave it to Diane on live tv when he was evicted..

An evening on the grill amid drunken sex chat was somewhat anti-climactic after all of Diane's threats to smash it..

In the end, Kitty merely got charred.. but I think it's a nice effect - it's like kitty got a makeover

Won the veto - big deal. A feeble attempt at a bath buddies revival isn't enough to earn an upgrade - even with mud - but bug-flying expertise is! At least they pick up their toenail clippings.

Another creepy day: "Hi mom! I'm just here having fun with two twins.. It's all clean Mom, nothing sexual going on." He may be young (even though he acts like an old fart) but "the Night Prowler" is definitely restless!

Hey! I thought she wasn't going to "cuddle" anymore? I wouldn't to parannoy Diane, or make her delusional, but I think she's gearing up for another meltdown.. sweet!

Everyone's working on Drew - Marvin, Diane, twins, Cowboy.. we'd be having a field day with him if only he ever reacted with anything but "wow" or "weird."

Thanks to Marvin (who else?) she had a most excellent case of the willies.. outdone only by his own fit of hysterics. AND she can name all the states in rapid-fire alphabetical order! I don't think anyone saw that coming.

Everyone knows that hamsters plus booze equals fun.. throw Marvin into the mix and you have another unforgettable evening. Give this man a cigar!

Sewing projects and no gag reflex, ok she almost lived up to her self-proclaimed weirdness today, and it was damn good to see her laugh. "Waiter, there's a foreskin in my burrito."

I'm so tired of trying to tell them apart and listening to them bitch and moan about everyone, I'll be glad when one goes. A feeble attempt at a bath buddies revival isn't enough to earn an upgrade - even with mud - but at least they pick up their toenail clippings.

Manufactured melodrama made a return Saturday, complete with action-hero music and use of the word "livid." Kissing Lessons was cute (a full week late!) but didn't hint at what followed.. And stinkfoot?! Are they even watching Marvin?? Well maybe the "black David Copperfield doing it with smoke and mirrors" has tricked them too. Nice to see CBS also picked up on Karma Electra though - I was starting to think I'd imagined it. Hey! Maybe I tipped them off and they ran back to check the tapes? (we could at least talk about hiring me yanno.. I won't hold you to any commitments) (that goes for anyone with a killer job available who likes what they see here)
