Today has certainly been an eventful one on the feeds. Those of you lucky enough to not have had to work today certainly hit the jackpot didn't you? If only I hadn't had meetings scheduled all day.... *sigh*

How would you like your day to begin like theirs did?

Yeah, the luxury competition had begun! Over the next three hours, the hamsters had three guesses to try and figure out a phrase from the clues in the backyard. At first, all of the clues were uncovered. But as time passed, the gorilla covered clues up letting them know that they weren't part of the phrase. If you'd like to see more on how all of this played out, just start with this video and then continue watching the other videos in the set.

But basically how it went down was that Jerry made his three guesses in quick succession after the competition started. And he was wrong on all of them. I don't think Memphis ever made a guess and I think Keesha only made a couple herself. Dan was ultimately the winner by guessing the phrase "bury the hatchet" and told everybody it was a trip to a private beach where he could take one of them. Dan later chose to not take any of them (4:30 mark) and below is some footage of that.

Now here's where things get funky. Check out what Dan had to say while he was in the HOH bathroom by himself. See what I mean?

We still don't know exactly what it means because Dan hasn't said anything more to anybody but speculation all over the place is that he gets to take her to the "beach". If this is what will be happening, might he be able to sway her with this little trip? I'm not quite so sure. I don't know when Dan will leave for his trip. We'll just have to wait and see on that.

By the way, nominations were held not too long ago and Dan nominated Memphis and Jerry. But as we all know, the nominations don't mean anything this week. It's all about the POV competition. This is the point in the game where if you you don't want to go home, you'd better win HOH or this last upcoming POV competition.

So what do you think about things today? How stupid of Jerry to have guessed so quickly. The gorilla was hilarious and a much needed entertainment break. What do you think about the trip and do you think it will indeed be Dan doing what everybody is speculating? If so, how should he handle it?

P.S. If you're still reading, I'd like to tell you something funny. I hope you watched some of the videos up above of the luxury competition. If you did, check this out. Jessie -- yes, this season's Jessie - was the gorilla! Now go back and watch at least the wake-up video and see if you can tell. I bet Jessie had so much fun doing that. I know I sure would have.
