Daily Digest 10 (Thurs 5/12)

down...this round's video was released in the wee hours of the morning,
and featured a suicide hotline, pink doors, smooching hot ladies, an
EXTRA secure computer, double shredding, a microphone spoon,
demi-celebrity cameos, and much much more. Check it out for yourself
here; you won't be sorry:

BED TIME FOR BONZO
It finally happened: Joel got himself booted. And it was no mere
strategy vote, either: ALL eight remaining contestants voted for
(against?) Joel. Even our hosts seemed to take extra pleasure in
shredding his photo--in fact, they did it twice! (Although they also
wished their "most exuberant and controversial contestant" a fond
farewell).
As one commenter put it, "It doesn't make sense to have 8 people on one
alliance. I think he just did a good job of being unlikeable." We at
the UHUBUGGG wonder which Blogger is going to step it up and fill
villain void we now have. C'mon guys. Get fiesty.
Oh, and Joel, if you get a blog let us know and we'll pass the word
onto the User's Group members.
CHARLIE ROSE IS THE ULTIMATE BLOGGER
This round's challenge will require all contestants to play well with
others: by Friday at midnight, contestants must post an un-boring
interview with the subject of their choice. Let's hope our contestants
do a better job than host Steve; he seems like a real nice guy, but he
sure can't interview his way out of a paper sack.
Ritchey keeps promising (threatening?) to "INTERVIEW EMILIO ESTEVEZ!"
while some commenters have proposed interviewing the following other
fascinating characters: Joel, "yourself," and Mr. T.
Oh, and did you catch that the hosts have promised "more than just
immunity" to the winner of this tough challenge? What will it be??? We
hope it's a year's supply of chimichangas.
FOR WHOM WILL THE BELL TOLL?
It's far too soon to guess who will win immunity--though have you
noticed that so far no one has won it twice? Is there a secret rule to
spread the love around, guys? On the other hand, one commenter cries
conspiracy because "all the bloggers eliminated thus far have only been
in the TOP ROW OF PHOTOS!!!!! COINCIDENCE!?!?!?!??
We also have a secret informant on the inside who tells us that "Pssst!
ÊAlliances are shifting... ÊGet ready for surprises in the next round
of voting..." It's hard to tell what that might mean, but could the
power trio of Lyova-Mimi-Ritchey finally be too crowded? Too many
personalities, too few chairs?
GREETINGS, MEOW
Oh, and James created a psychedelic and very kawaii
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawaii) display of his 7-11 hello kitty
magnet collection to tide us over between challenges. He also made a
truly excellent offer that we'd love to see go to a member of the
UHUBUGGG: " if anyone sends me a nice mixed tape or cd, i will send
them all my extra hello kitty magnets... i have a bunch. if two people
send me something, i'll split them... and promise to visit 7-11 for
several more."
Check out his post and his hot offer here:

Don't forget to look for hidden features.
Hm, is that all? Did we forget anything? No? Great, then it's off to
bed for tonight. See you all tomorrow--can't wait to see those
interviews start to appear in the Den!
