Well, that was awkward! Our professional chef Justin opted to stay in bed rather than help prepare Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. The house guests had an early HOH lock down yesterday and when they emerged, they found the dining room table covered with baskets containing groceries. Each basket had a recipe from a former house guest or family member and the required ingredients to make the dish. Each house guest also got a letter from home.
Justin simply went back to bed and stuffed cotton balls in his ears so he wouldn't hear everyone else. He's not happy to hear that Jason is taking Kryssie with him to the final three and that he has to compete to make it to the final three. He suggested to Morgan that she throw the final part of the comp to him on Tuesday (they think it'll happen Monday, but it'll be on Tuesday) so he can win BB OTT. Morgan's not so keen on that idea and is planning to win.
Morgan, Jason and Kryssie then started the food prep. Things got off to a rocky start as they tried to figure out how long to cook the turkey. It's a twelve pound turkey and their instruction said to cook it for 15 minutes per pound. This led to them doing math and concluding that meant it would take 170 minutes to cook. (180 actually, but they were in the ballpark.) They then decided that 170 minutes was one hour and fifty minutes, so they'd cook the turkey for two hours to be safe. (They were only off by one hour.) Fortunately for them, they got so distracted by everything else they were doing they forgot the turkey in the oven and didn't remove it at the two hour mark. By the time they finally got around to checking on it, the pop up timer on the bird had popped and it was done.
Jason was shocked to see the ingredients in his favorite dressing. The thought that he'd been eating chicken livers in his favorite dressing was a bit off putting to him, but they followed the recipe and made the dressing with chicken livers.
After many hours of work and much, much discussion and confusion over how to open cans, the meal was done. The trio of Jason, Kryssie and Morgan then retreated to put on the outfits they'd worn to shoot the promo video on Wednesday that aired on the CBS parade coverage Thanksgiving morning. Justin finally emerged for his hibernation but refused to put on his outfit. They all four sat down to eat with Justin complaining of the lack of wine. They seemed to enjoy the food. They'd made every dish but Cornbread's cabbage dish. They had enough cabbage when Cornbread was there. Morgan's desserts went over very well. By and large everyone was pretty happy, but a bit angry with Justin.
Morgan, who'd feared she'd be the outcast is now warmly accepted by Jason and Kryssie while Justin is largely being shunned by Jason and Kryssie. Morgan's largely going with the flow in the house now and trying to fit in as best she can, and she's doing a good job. Her social game is easily the best of the group.
Nothing much should happen today in the house. Tomorrow Jason will formally take Kryssie to join him in the final three, then nothing will happen until Tuesday when Justin and Morgan fight it out for the final spot. Kryssie has volunteered to help Morgan study for that comp. At the end of that comp, the loser will apparently immediately leave the house then on Wednesday we get the closing arguments and start to vote. On Thursday the winner will be announced and we'll go from there. Thursday's show has potential to be kind of interesting. With no real time limit on the show we may get to hear a lot more than normal on the finale. BB finales are generally kind of rushed and frantic, but this one has all the time in the world, so we'll see how BB handles that.
