Aryan made a little mistake with her drinking liquids.

Just a small one.

Really, water, nail polish remover, it could happen to anyone.

No, she didn't die. She didn't even leave the cage: it's not as if the rats are paying for an ambulance this season. But gee, it was just a tiny error...

Meanwhile, Elissa has lost it. Fair Using Hamsterwatch here:

'as if on cue after my questioning Elissa's behavior last night, she went into all new directions today, ranging from openly saying "they" (producers) won't get rid of her, to lashing out, to tears, and back to trashing others and being trashed by them in turn.. if they are giving her a script, for lack of a better word, I think she needs more direction with it because I don't think anyone is able to follow her plot'

Which led to Aryan delivering the following line, courtesy of the chemicals temporarily boosting her IQ:

"When it's about Elissa, I feel like an actress on a cast on a tv show for entertainment only, I do not feel like I'm playing Big Brother."

Silly Aryan! According to the FCC rigging question, the whole thing has always been for entertainment only! But Elissa is in fact actually saying the rats won't get rid of her because she was cast as Rachel's sister. Oooh... open theories...

By the way, if you've been waiting on a show birthday, we just had one: GinaMarie. And as another sign of how this group gets treated, the rats refused to lift the Have-Not restrictions for even a single hour to allow any kind of party, let alone bothering to deliver gifts which would only be confiscated later. GM got nada except a crying fit over getting nada. The other hamsters (except Elissa, who doesn't have to do such things because the producers love her) threw her a Let's Dress Like GM party, cone of shame included. At some point, GM got a bloody nose and stuffed it with tissues, possibly because she's low on the tampons which were used the last time it happened.

We seem to be facing a Helen eviction right now as the political rhetoric finally runs out ahead of the vote -- but the U-Turn looms ahead.
