From a friend who is watching the ShowTime

He just sent me this (along with his "certainty" that Nick is gay gay gay):

A surprise Jen & Eric hammock session where they're not only strategizing together, but Jen lets slip a real doozy:
...
Jen: I think that I already won it, I won HOH tomorrow
Eric: You want it?
Jen: No, I did.. on accident, I didn't mean to
Eric: What?
Jen: I won HOH tomorrow.. I didn't mean to, like I tried to drop out but I won it already
Eric: You think that this happened? How is that?
Jen: I just did
Eric: I have no idea what you're talking about
Jen: I won because it was based on Carol and then like, she gave me a bunch of answers
and I knew 'em all.. it's weird
Eric: It's possible..
Jen: I couldn't pass it up
Eric: If it's based on Carol, most people are gonna be ****ed
Jen: I'm pretty sure it is
Eric: That's what it was last year
[cue the blues]

Jen is summoned to Diary a bit later and then Eric's called in after her

So, does this mean anything? Beyond making me more sure that Jen is a moron... is the live comp really "live"?

Nick went up behind Joe, bent him over and said "take it like a man". But that wasn't the really gay moment. Shortly thereafter, one of the girls said Joe was a trash talker. And Nick replied "SHE sure is".

I am pretty sure straight guys don't refer to gay guys as "she" - but gays do call other gays "she".

That convo between Eric and Jen was WEIRD! Because it seemed like she was letting it slip that the comp wasn't live and Eric was trying to play it off like she was speculating on what was going to happen, but then she said it was based on Carol and Carol gave her a bunch of answers... which we now know that it had nothing to do with Carol. Is Jen psychic? Did the aliens tell her what was going to happen? Or is the HOH comp not live and Jen realized that she let it slip and tried to cover by talking some nonsense about Carol? Wait, that would imply Jen's somewhat intelligent. Scrap that last question.

As for Nick... there is a part of me that thinks if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, well, you know. Not to mention, no matter how gay-friendly most straight guys are, most won't let things go as far as Nick does. But on the other hand, his "strategy" if that's what it is, is working. Everyone in the house is in love with him. And I have a very open-minded guy friend from high school who is straight, but has told me that he "experimented" with one of our best friends who came out right after high school. My friend, the one who experimented, has always dated girls and said that it was different but didn't "do it" for him the way making out with girls does. Now, I have other guy friends, the uber-masculine kind, who say that a dude who experiments is either closeted gay or bi. No straight guy would make out with another guy. So who knows.
