Moving In and Getting to Know You

(All Confessionals by the women and men will be in parenthesis)

The day Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald waited for finally arrived! She was about to embark on a journey for three months, and attempt to win the grand prize of 50,000. God, I hope this summer is worth it… she thought to herself as she finished packing her things.

Walking out to the front door, Theresa quickly gave her family a hug and kiss, and then proceeded to walk to the parked limo waiting for her.

Once Theresa arrived at the Big Brother House, she already saw that three other women were waiting on the steps. Boy, talk about being fashionably late. "I'm not late, am I?" Theresa asked one of the girls. The girl shook her head no.

Why isn't anyone talking? Suddenly, a loud voice is heard on the intercom. "Ladies, good afternoon. My name is Cookie Myers, and I am the host of Big Brother. You four women are about to embark on a journey for the next three months. There will be a lot of surprises in store for you, as well as some great fun in competitions. One by one, as I call your name, I want you to walk into the Big Brother house, find a bedroom to call your own, and not speak to each other until you are all safely inside. First, I want you to look at each other, for these will be the faces you will see on a daily basis.

Looking around, Theresa summed up the competition. They look to be my age. We'll see what happens

One thing's for sure, I'm going to win! Gwen thought to herself smugly.

These women don't stand a chance. Whitney thought as she looked at each woman.

If anyone is going to win this, it's going to be me! Sarah said to herself.

"Alright ladies, I wish you the best of luck, and now the first woman to enter the house is Theresa."

Grabbing her bag, Theresa quickly ran into the house, and spotted a big bedroom with 2 beds. This works for me.

"The next person to enter the Big Brother house is Gwen." Same as Theresa, Gwen grabbed her bags, and quickly went inside. Passing Theresa's room, Gwen quickly shuddered. Nope, not going to live with her. I don't deal with people of a different race. Finding a blue bedroom with one bed, Gwen quickly dropped her things.

"Whitney and Sarah, you may now enter the house, and be sure to close the door firmly behind you." As the two remaining women gather their things, they quickly run into the house, and find two bedrooms. Whitney finds a spare bed in Theresa's room, while Sarah finds a cot in the hallway. Guess this will have to do. She thinks to herself.

(Theresa/Whitney's Room)

"Hi, I'm Theresa." She says as she shakes Whitney's hand.

"Hi, I'm Whitney. Nice to meet you."

"Ditto. Are you ready for this summer?"

"Yeah, I hope it will be the best."

"Me, too. What do you say we go looking around the house?"

"Sure, let's go ask Gwen and Sarah to join."

"Okay."

Knocking on Gwen's door, Whitney asks if she wants to see the house, and gets a reply of "no thanks." Boy, talk about snobby. Whitney thinks as she finds Sarah and Theresa.

Looking around the place, the girls quickly find a door, and attempt to open it, but fail. "I wonder what's behind there?" Theresa asks.

"I'm sure we'll find out. Afterall, Big Brother is the house of surprises!" Sarah says, as the three women laugh.

"Say, why don't we get something to drink, and get to know each other?" Whitney suggests. "Sounds good to me." Theresa replies. Sarah nods, and runs off to get Gwen. When all four women are seated in the living room, Theresa begins. "Well, my name is Theresa as you all heard outside. I am 24, and embarking on my fashion career in the fall."

"Wow, that's great, Theresa!" Whitney replies.

"Yeah, really great." Gwen says, rolling her eyes, to which Theresa ignores.

So everyone isn't nice, big deal. I'll manage somehow. Theresa thinks to herself.

"Okay, I'll go next! My name is Gwen, I am 26 years old, and majored in international law. That's dealing with world wide cases for those of you who aren't familiar with it." Gwen says as she looks pointedly at Theresa. Continuing, Gwen says, "anyway, I can't wait to embark on this experience."

Looking at each other, Whitney smiles to Sarah. "You go on ahead."

"Thanks. My name is Sarah. I am 25 years old, and I want to run a dance studio when this summer is over."

"Oh, please, a dance studio? Talking about digging your grave already!" Gwen says.

"Well, it's my dream, and I'm going to make it happen."

"If you say so."

Wanting to end the argument, Theresa quickly looks at Whitney. "You go ahead."

"Thanks. My name is Whitney. I am 24 years old. I love to play tennis, and hope to one day be a great tennis player."

"Sorry, sweetheart, not many African-American women can be famous tennis players." Gwen says, as she grabs her iced tea and heads outside, leaving the remaining women in the house with their mouths gapping open.

"Gee, you think she has something stuck up her butt?" Whitney says, as the three women laugh.

"Well, all I say is, here's to a great summer." Theresa says as she lifts and toasts her glass with Sarah and Whitney.

Suddenly, a noise sounds in the room, making the women look up. "Where did that come from?" Theresa asked. Pointing to the TV, Sarah smiled. "That's our host. Maybe she has something to tell us!"

Calling Gwen from outside, the women watch as Cookie begins to talk to them. "Ladies, I hope you're having fun getting to know each other. This season's installment of "Big Brother" has a theme of expect the unexpected. You will be dealt with many surprises on this show for the season. Your first surprise will be here tomorrow. I will not reveal what it is, but will say that it will leave you all in shock. Have a great night." With that, the TV quickly shut off.

Looking at each other, Theresa is about to start talking, when a voice booms over the speakers. "Theresa please report to the Diary Room." Shrugging her shoulders, Theresa goes to the Diary room to state her confessional.

(Each of these women have a lot of different characteristics. I really like Whitney and Sarah. Gwen rubs me the wrong way. It seems she's here for the wrong reasons. Or maybe I'm just over thinking this through. Our host said that a big surprise is coming for us tomorrow. I'm scared, but excited. Who knows what will happen in the Big Brother house).

After her confessional, Theresa makes her way out, and then Gwen is called in.

(I don't know why I did this show. My mother made me. But then again, the money looked good enough for me. I wish I could just rid the competition, you know? Theresa is just from the wrong class. She pisses me off. I wish I didn't have to deal with her. I'm hoping that I'll win the Head of Household competition coming up in a few weeks, then I can kick her out of here.)

Coming out of the diary room, Gwen glares at Theresa, and then waits while Whitney and Sarah make their confessionals. Once the girls have visited the room, the show's host comes back on to say goodnight.

Coming Up

The first surprise for the women!
