Kent advises Bunky needs to be aware the Chill Town keeps playing Bunky's gayness against Hardy since they see it bothers Hardy. Bunky should talk to Hardy Kent says. Also, Kent mentions Monica is having a really hard time with the PB&J food, but its the game so men shouldn't throw the food competition even if it means women eat PB&J two weeks in a row.

Bunky to Hardy, in HoH room

Hardy: Your compassion can be viewed as a weakness and can be used against you. Not just here, in life.
Bunky: And they have, they have....
Hardy: I'm a compassionate person on the outside world.....in here, there's a limited amount of food - each and every person here knew what was going to happen, and now they have to deal with it. I feel bad for them, having to eat that way again for another week - of course I do, but will I let that stop me? I will do what it takes to win. Period. That's just the kind of person i am. I'm not gonna use people's feelings, manipulate like other houseguests in here have done to further their own means. I'm not gonna do that. .......I would never be able to walk out of here and think anything of myself if I had to do what THOSE PEOPLE do...................I'm not gonna pull a punch..

Bunky: And I'm just trying to go through an evaluation process of my values.......this is a learning exp. for me. I'm not a bad person for trying to win the food again. I've been raised that way

Hardy: YOU need to put yourself above others. When it's either you or me Bunky, I'm gonna do whatever it is in the book to get what I need (Food). But I don't

Bunky: So I can still go out of here holding my head up high.........
Hardy: Of course.
Hardy: I am a competitor, but it would have been inappropriate to push the bull competition.
Bunky: Well that's cool
Hardy: I am a compassionate person. That wasn't about eating. They really really needed that. If it would have come to it, I would have let them have it.
Bunky: We have different tapes playing in our head...........for some reason "they" hear a tape that says I'm bad (?) if
Hardy: You need to feel more compassionate for yourself with regard to whether you eat or don't eat.
Bunky: Is there anything I can do to convince you that I will not throw the competition
Hardy: I was really upset with you, when you said that to Monica
Bunky: I was just trying to get someone else to agree with me
Bunky: The other thing I wanted to talk about.......this is a hard one for me......why is this so hard.........
[Bunky starts to cry at this point]
I'm sorry. I think I've been disrespectful to you and I apologize. I'm trying to get this acceptance with you - I'm sorry I've been pushing my friendship, my self, my sexuality on you. I've been putting you in probably some uncomfortable situations and I apologize and I'm going to be changing my actions.....
Hardy: Just treat me how you treat others. That's all I ask. I don't expect any more or less.
Bunky: I need to know where you're coming from....
Hardy: As a personal choice for me, I personally don't believe in it because I wasn't born gay, and I'm not gay. I respect your choice - not necessary - I respect your choice to be openly gay. I dont like to have opinions pushed on me, I'm not saying you have - I respect every individual choices, lifestyles, etc. as long as they don't impede on somebody elses.............I need to have the respect that I give you as a heterosexual
Bunky: I can respect you for being straight if you can respect me for being homosexual.
Hardy: If there is anything I do or say that might make you uncomfortable, I hope that you would point that out to me.......I'm a laid back guy, easygoing, easy to get along with

Bunky suddenly blurts out: I really don't want to sleep in the bed with you - I want you to trust me and recognize that I have been monogamous for 13 years.........
Hardy: Why would you feel it necessary to prove that to me?
Bunky: I think I do
Hardy: You are going to get your feelings hurt again and again from people........if you put that much poiwer in someone elses hand, you're gonna be disappointed again and again and upset because you need that acceptance ........I don't need that acceptance from other people. The only person who is important to me in the end, whos opinion matters most is ME. The only person's resepct I need is my own......
Bunky: I'd like to be like that...........
Hardy: When you do that - I don't know what might have happened in your background that would make you need to be accepted.....it's gotta be incredibly difficult for you as a homosexual......that' someting that I think is probably gonna, unless you get a handle on it....plague you forever. I don't ask like monica to sleep in her bed............
Bunky: But you're a straight guy living in a straight world. And I'm a gay guy living in a straight world.
Hardy: Why would you need me to say it's ok - I don't understand the whole bed and sleeping thing. That's a test you're probably going to 9 out of 10 get a NO answer from a guy that's straight.
Bunky: Do you trust me enough? It's stupid, it's stupid. I apologize. I apologize.
Hardy: There's no need for anyone here to stay in my bed. The only person I want to share my bed with is a person I'm intimate with who I love, or my best friend when he's too drunk to drive home.
Bunky: Hopefully this will make you feel more comfortable......honestly you're not my type - #1 I'm monogamous #2 my type is a 300lb blonde guy on steroids
Hardy: I don't need anyone to be attracted to me, you know what I mean?
bunky: I'm hoping you're more relaxed that I'm NOT attracted to you.
Hardy: I'm not evaluating you based on whather your find me attractive. I don't evaluate people in that way.......perhaps a little more relieved, but I'm fine with that..........

Hardy and bunky shake on it:-)
Bunky and Nicole

Bunky: He was really mad at me Nicole: Does he understand WHY.......

KENT: Will has seen that little crack and he's trying to.......
Bunky: Maybe it would be better if Hardy would talk one on one with me. I think it would be better if I approached him, don't you think? I'm for equality and fairness.......being gay in the world......I want to see how it looks from the outside. Say we're doing guys against girls, if it was last time, I'm afraid you guys would think that now you would think I'd throw it. Let's say if we win, and I eat PB&J with the women every other day
Kent: As cynical as they are, I've heard them say "That f'in Bunky They think you're trying to use your feminine side to curry favor with the women. It's common knowledge that gay men get along better with women....it's going to be seen as strategy. You're sensitive, gonna rail against injustice.......we're in a game now, taking food out of a woman's mouth is something you're very uncomfortable with.
Bunky: If it's just me and another woman, and this week the woman ate pbj, I might eat pbj the next week just to keep it fair and even.
Kent: I would be right with you. Oh yeah
Bunky: That doesn't make me feel so bad about myself
Kent: Monica - I like her, she's really struggling with it. I have to, it's the game, we don't have any choice. I wouldn't like it......
I would drop the ball and walk away if it was just me and Monica. But you gotta undeerstand we're in teams
Bunky: That's why I'm not going to drop the competition. We're voting as a team.
Kent: Last year the black guy threw the challenge.....here, all you gotta be is Bunky, you gotta try your best to win each challenge. You can't ostracize Hardy or myself for trying to win a challenge. You said we were selfish, greedy, not compassionate coz we want to win.........BB doesn't want you to be comfortable, to see how you react in adverse This to a caring and sensitive person is difficult, you're having a hard time with this
Bunky: It's making me evaluate my values and ethics - I'm trying to do the right thing. I don't always know in this situaiton whats the right thing
Kent: I have a problem with you taking others to task
Bunky: He made me feel bad for my opinion, so I did the same thing to him
Kent: Hardy feels like he is in a position where if he doesn't accept your homosexuality, etc. ........understand that Hardy is also one of those guys that has steeled his emotions in a way, but he has a good heart.
Bunky: I think that's the conflict I'm having - the 1920's mentality
Kent; Hardy will probably tell you "Pleast don't make me
Bunky: I'm all about respect, so I have to evaluate my actions and possibly apologize
Kent: I'm concerned about you going up to him, kind of forcing
Bunky: I thought he was gay friendly, I get mixed messages that he doesn't trust me.......he doesn't trust me to sleep with him, thinks I"m gonna try to cop a feel on National TV......he's never offered like you have offered. If he had offered I wouldn't ask..........
Kent: Just think of what you just said "You offered, he didn't"......have you asked mike/will to sleep with him. Why did you pick hardy?
Bunky: Honestly I won't sleep with Hardy. I'm a principles kind of guy
Kent: You wanted to force his hand, why?
Bunky: I don't know. I guess to see how he really feels about me or homosex....guess it's about me.........
Kent: Why you need it verbalized? You need acceptance? Bunky: OH YEAH!
Kent: he didn't let autumn sleep in his bed. He is a very competative man, he's here to win. Why are we here if not to win?
Bunky: But another strategy could be "come sleep in my big bed"
Kent: Hardy plays this game with neutrality and strength.........thats his strategy......youve got to evaluate in your own actions.......are you attracted to Hardy?
Bunky: hardy is attractive, but he's not my type. I like 300lb steroid guys.......justin was more my type. i guess i wanted that kind of relationship like I had with Justin.
Bunky: He ignored me and avoided me.
Kent: He ignored everybody....you're so f'in needy
Bunky: I know, I need to work on that.....i try I try
Kent: You go from compassionate guy to bitch......I figured you were having some kind of episode
Bunky: BMS - Bunky Menstrual System............we're not gonna let them divide us.....let them think they divided us. I appreciate you talking to me man, I apologize for being such a dic* out there
Kent: They asked me about you and hardy in the DR. I told them I felt like because of being gay, you have an intense desire to be accepted. If you feel in any dynamic that someone is resisting this acceptance, you feel the need to confront it. I know hardy's position on gay - he's not a homophobe.
Bunky: I guess I'm always pressing him to see where he does stand.......
Kent: You can't really judge it that way.
Bunky: I guess i haven't been respectful
Kent: He hasn't made fun of you has he. He's respectful of YOU sexuality..........he is uncomfortable, and you need to find out the source of the discomfort....................
Bunky: Well thanks Kent, I knew you have a level head and I could see clearly talking to you
Kent: I was really concerned that you were going to begin to exert your sensitivity and caring with others in a way that would alienate yourself from others.
Bunky: I will not throw any competition, because I love to win too. If I feel so bad, I will eat PBJ with the women.
Kent: Why do you think I made them those treats the other night. Coz I felt bad!........go the other way, and try to be
Bunky: I"m not trying or forcing myself to do any of those things.......that's actually ME..........so I'm seeking too much acceptance with the women?
Kent: I've seen you
Bunky: In HS I was never in a clique
Kent You try to get acceptance with EVERYONE
Bunky Is that a bad thing?
Kent: That's wonderful until you go to the men and say "you know those men really get on my nerves about blah blah" and use that as an attack against the men or vice versa. You needing acceptance is going to be an easy target. I'm not seeking acceptance so I'm a tough nut to crack

Bunky said Hardy was jealous because he was looking at Wills erection. He said that Hardy is having a problem with his sexuality, not him. Bunky said that Hardy has no reason to get upset when he does something "gay".

Will just asked Bunky if there is anything he can do repay him for cooking meals. Bunky tells him to "drop his towel." Bunky laughs and then says that he just doesn't want to clean up after doing the cooking. Everyone seems to really like Bunky's cooking!:-)

Kent, regarding Bunky: I'm gonna start dating him when I get out.........I'm not dating him - we're just sleeping together. I do like that he respects my wishes and sleeps on the floor, not in the bed.

Kent asked Bunky where the tuppeware was that he said he should put the bacon in. Bunky comes over to help him search for it in the cupboards. Then Bunky realizes he doesn't know what Kent is referring to. K:"I thought you were talkin' about your own personal tupperware. Y'all brought from home." B:"oh! You must REALLY think I am a F*G! Askin' me if I brought my own tupperware! I did bring my own Mary Kay Products though......"

Bunky was in the shower (no "privacy towel") - he told Nicole that is isn't appropriate for her to give Hardy massages. Nicole says she does it out in the open and everyone knows that she is married. When Bunky suggests she not do it out in the open, she argues that when they did it in a back room everyone would walk in on them and go "Ooops!" He sees her point and says he was just trying to watch out for her, watch her back. More debate about it and then Bunky tells her he is sorry, "I guess it's a non-issue." "Forget I said it".

Nicole said to Hardy: "If they (Chilltown) get it, they're putting up Bunky and..."

[thanks to rprince for the transcript of the following conversation]

Hardy says that is is getting upset with the way Bunky is towards him. Apparently Bunky asked him to sleep with him (not that way) and Hardy says no. Bunky asks him why and says that it's not sexual and Hardy responds "do you sleep with Will".."do you sleep with Mike?"

He says that he is trying to be nice and not hurt Bunky's feelings..but he has drawn a line with him and he should respect that.

Kent said "well I think he's (Bunky) is trying to prove a point with you....that you are "tolerant towards him"(?)

Hardy said: "I like him..I really do, but if you do not like him the way or how he wants you too, he doesn't like it."

Kent: "It's not fair to you that he is forcing his stuff on you.....you have already hurt his feelings. He's been pouting like a girl all day. Hardy is surprised at that.

Kent then tell Hardy and he and Bunky should have a "heart to heart" before they get into a "hissy fit".

The houseguests think that it is good that Bunky got a banner because he has very low self-esteem. Krista said that she thinks someone "hurt him bad" in his past, and that is why he suffers from self-esteem issues. Hardy and Krista were talking about how Bunky must have a lot of fans on the outside with the gay community, and how he will probably get a ton of offers for endorsements when he leaves the BB House.

Krista went into Bunky's room at night and asked Bunky who he is voting to keep in the house. Bunky said Kent. Krista tells him not to say ANYTHING to anyone.

it is fun to watch Kent and Bunky interact - they're so humorous and playful with each other...Kent often seems like he's playing "Dad"......Bunky is trying to make PB&J treats for the girls with Kent, but he's not doing a good job, and Kent is joking with him about it. Kent: You're not trying to get laid - why are YOU doing this? Bunky: Try new things....Learn new things! (Bunky sounded like a little boy as he said this:-)

Bunky has a very bad blister on his foot because he wore thin socks and wrestling shoes during today's basketball tournament.

While Kent was in the pool with Hardy this afternoon, he referred to homosexuals as perverts, deviants, and weirdos. He says he respects Bunky's ability to choose but "doesn't want it rammed down his throat". Kent says some people think he's a homophobe, repeats his "sickos, weirdos and freaks but now they call it alternative lifestyles" opinion. Kent then started discussing the Ellen Degeneres Show... Kent: "how many times can they say 'lesbian' on that show?" He loved her humor and her show, but didn't like it once she came out -- then it just became about lesbianism. Kent actually likes Will & Grace -- he sees that as using the gay lifestyle to come up with humorous situations as opposed to "just trying to push being gay". (source: bigbrotherupdates.com)

Kent starts talking to Bunky about his banner;-)
Bunky: All these gay men know me now and I don't know them.
Kent: There's someone watching you and supporting you that you don't know!

Bunky: If you give us a wrestling match, Hardy and I could wrestle.
Nicole: Yes you could
Bunky: It would give me a good workout
Nicole: Yes it would
Bunky: I would enjoy that

Bunky told Autumn that "this show is too "Butch" for him":-)

Bunky, Nicole and Will are in the pool..........Bunky asks Will to check his arm, he thinks he sprained something. Will says that because he has full motion of his arm, that it is ok.

Bunky starts talking about the banner. He thinks it's really cool to look up and see "BUNKY" on a banner!

Bunky: I don't know anything about the website.....maybe they think I look like a wrestler, wouldn't it be weird if they want me to wrestle in one of their videos or something? (LOL!)

Bunky is laughing because Nicole hit him in the head during the game, and his glasses went flying, and his jaw popped! He has a bruise, and is putting ice on his head.

BUNKY got a banner! It says: Wrestlemen.com goes BUNKY!!!! Bunky's reaction:
"What the hell?!! Wrestlemen.com?!.......I was gonna wrestle Hardy - that is WILD!" Bunky said he had never been to that site before but he will be sure to go now..
Bunky then puts on his cape for Wrestlemen.com.....
BUNKY: "Superfag - that's probably a new wrestler! That's probably the name of a new wrestler! LOL!!"
BUNKY: "At least one website loved it!"

Bunky is wearing his blue cape for the basketball tournament. As he picks his card, he says, "I hope it's a queen! (Damn....)"
Bunky: We are the Pride Queens - my teammate is Monica
Strategy: To kill you with our beauty

Will: I feel there's 2 people I owe an apology, one is Nicole, the other one is Bunky - when Bunky was "superfag", I just had a problem with that - I felt it was too extreme, and I just want to apologize for that. [note: Will keeps making a point of bringing this issue up in front of others - it is so obvious that he DOES feel "it was too extreme", his apology means NOTHING - phony, as always]

Bunky and Monica discussing names for their team (for this afternoon's basketball tournament)

Bunky: You've probably heard of "black pride", right?....and gay pride - How about "PRIDE QUEENS"......yellow jacket(?) to make crowns....(we can have a) queen on a throne (laughing)
Monica; You like that?
Bunky: Do you?
Monica: I am a smart woman (re: WILL talking to Bunky yesterday)
Bunky: Will was upset for the gay community, he felt I was not portraying the gay community...........representing the gay community
Monica: You CAN'T represent the gay community!.....
Bunky: I know!
Bunky: I said I wasn't representing anyone but Bunky. They gave us things to play with..... If I can make people smile and make people laugh.......
Monica: That's Bunky having fun. Bunky sometime never got a chance to express himself, so....
Bunky: That's me being free. How many other people can let loose and be free like that!
Monica: That was Will covering his ass! with the cape - "superfag" He was saying it makes Gays look bad?!!!!
Krista: I understand their point.......I have a lot of friends who.......all depends on how you are as a gay person, there's a wide variety of gay people, even more so than stright people. Some are conservative, some thinks its hideous - I guess coz you went through
Hardy: The more flamboyant...dude, that was funny as hell! I loved that! I like that, I respect that. I don't mean to say its funny - I enjoy that.
Bunky: I did that to be funny - to make people laugh. It's a sense of freedom.
Krista: He apologized
Bunky: I said you are in a majority - but I'm not representing people.....
Krista: I said (to Wil) what if he did that to you, judge you for all the things YOU said/did!
Bunky: I'm not gonna let them control me (not going to change himself)
