Please be Keanu!!! PLEASE BE KEANU!!!

Aldis vote here.

And I'll read A Thousand Suns, Sammy. I have avoided it, so this will be the push I need. The Kite Runner was such a beautiful but hard read, which is why I 've not read Suns.

This is a very tough choice, but will JDM vote here.

This was my first life drawing class, well, my first art class of any kind, actually. Aside from nudity, I had no idea what to expect. Our model was very professional and fantastic to draw. However, he looked more like Jeremy Corbyn (google him) than Captain America.

Unfortunately, it wasn't a gift he was intentionally giving to the world. For whatever reason he added an exposing pic onto his insta story. But took it down within mins. I would say how embarrassing, but...i went to a life drawing class tonight, very different vibe, but total nakedness. All I'm implying is he shouldn't be ashamed, he's a very handsome man. And he should maybe consider a Xmas follow-up. Until then our imaginations will have to suffice.

I woukd like to give -10 points to Mr Armitage. And vote for Ryan. I still have negative points to give right?

Was it Chris Evans who "accidentally" posted a questionable xxx video of himself on Insta? I could totally be conflating several people and instances.

Evans, here

I'm voting JDM!

Sammy have at it. I have downloaded it, so if for any reason you can't, then I've got the audio.

I can read a thousand splendid suns. I actually have a book that works!

Ok, so petty might work.

Lol. I was holding a grudge against poor Karl Urban because I, mistakenly, thought he knocked Keanu out! Turns out that was Richard Armitage (shakes fist at Richard Armitage). Darn you, Armitage. See how petty never works.

Not Karl Urban, for me. The other guy.

DQs Day 3:

10. We read something that moves us, touches us, speaks to us and it... it changes us?"

Do you agree with that quote? Are there any books that changed you personally?

Yes, I read a book to stop smoking and another to stop eating sugar. They both worked. And the best part, it was easy! So yea, unequivocally I can say a book changed my life.
Although, I appreciate this is not often how people mean it. I read I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and The Fountainhead, both because people told me these books changed their lives. I was touched my Angelou. It was beautiful and heartbreaking, but not life changing. The Rand book just sucked.

11. We finally get the first riddle. Did you guess it before Lucy did?

Yes! I said in the day 1 dq that I am not really that into riddles, but I actually got it straigh away. Granted, I am looking at the words, so that was a big help. But i felt like preening.

12. What did you think of The City of Secondhand and of Markham showing up like that? Is he just a sleezy lawyer, or is there something more sinister going on?

How did he get into the house and put a letter under the door? As I typed that, I realised there must be other people working on site whilst the contest is happening. Jack ain't going clean and feed four others. So probs not sinister, just a little extra for a maid.
I loved the secondhand city! I wanted to make all those cute storm seller bottle. Think i will.

13. do you have to keep reminding yourself that the "contestants" are adults, not children?

No, because me wanting Lucy and Hugo to hook up would be weird. I like that jack treats them as such though.

Some other thoughts:

- Why would someone being a "famous artist" mean it's odd for them to bring a guest their dinner? I found this rather a lot weird.

Probably one would assume staff would do it?

- One for the backroom BOM regulars: Did the whole bizarre scarf thing give anyone else Hot Prof and Daisy vibes? 😆
