First off, I wanted to address an email I received from a reader. Over the weekend, I was sent information regarding Dom and his “best friend,” Dana. On the live show on Thursday, she presented herself as only a friend, but from everything I’ve seen and heard they have been dating for about/over a year now. I was sent a picture of them kissing and another of them together, looking a little bit more than friends. I know this is the day and age of guys and girls not dating and hooking up, but I was told that this person has personal knowledge that those two are together. She even told me that on the Showtime shows, Dom has gone around talking to the houseguests that he “has someone at home.” So, I’m not sure why things were misrepresented the way they were, but this reader stated that perhaps Dana thought it would be best for Dom’s chances at the “Favorite Houseguest” vote if he were single, to help receive the female votes. That could be the case, but I don’t really think that matters. Personally, I don’t think they’re going to have that vote this year since they brought back past houseguests and it would be an unfair vote, since we all know Jeff would win it. But, they did it for Survivor even after bringing back Rob and Russell, so what do I know?

But, with that said, I appreciated getting that email, along with the pictures. Keep them coming. If any of you happen to know any of the houseguests, feel free to send along some information. I am not going to misuse it in any way, shape or form. As you can see, the pictures I have been sent did not end up on some gossip site or something. I’m not out trying to make a quick buck by selling pictures of Big Brother houseguests. I’m not going to make any money off of that, anyways, so don’t worry about privacy. I just like to have ALL the information I can have in order to make my judgments and opinions as good as they can get. So, thank you, again to the person who sent me that email.

On to the episode, where we catch a quick glimpse of Cassi leaving the house again. You will be missed, my dear. Jordan talks about how she didn’t want to get rid of her, but she did anyways, which is always a sound plan. Rachel then talks about how Cassi can watch from her home as she wins the show. Actually, Rachel, rumor has it that the houseguests evicted are in sequester right now because CBS is talking about bringing a houseguest back. Back when Dick first left, I had conversations about how that has to screw up CBS’ scheduling of the show. The show would have to end one week earlier now since they still voted someone out that Thursday. Their only other option was to get rid of the dreaded double elimination week, but I can’t see them doing that since that is always a fun wrinkle to throw at the houseguests. So, now the only thing that seems likely is that they bring back an evicted houseguest. Make it America’s Choice and I will flood the inbox with votes for Cassi. Not a chance she isn’t the one getting back in the house.

Anyways, I digress. Dom says something about how The Regulators are the worst alliance in the history of Big Brother. Well, with the likes of Keith and Lawon as members, I’d have to agree.

Stupidest comment of the night: Brendon, “Rachel is the brains of the operation.” You HAVE to be kidding me, right? This is the guy who freely admits that she goes too much on emotion and makes dumb mistakes in the game all the time. And, yet, you’re on camera, on national television, proclaiming her the brains of your operation. I think even God laughed at that one, Brendon.

Another quick question I have is why the hell was Adam using a lint roller on his $5 t-shirt?!? That was one of the oddest things I might have ever seen. I think you ruled out the fact that you were trying to look good when you threw on that t-shirt, yet you are thinking you need to get all the hairs and bacon bits off of it to talk to Shelli (I’m trying this new phase where I spell Shelly with an ‘i’ now, just because I miss Cassi so much and want to feel like she’s somehow still on the show, let me know if it doesn’t work)? Seriously though Adam, you don’t use a lint roller on a t-shirt when you’re on Big Brother. No, in fact, you don’t use a lint roller on a t-shirt ever…

Adam, freshly lint-rolled, goes and talks to Brendon and Rachel about hopefully still being in good graces with them. He tries to swing them in the direction of nominating Lawon and Kalia. Rachel, ever pleased when she can use the term floater, calls the duo ‘superfloaters.’ I’ll give it to her this time, though, because she’s right. These two seem to not be doing anything in the house. They aren’t even doing anything stupid to get put in one of the funny montages during the episode (i.e. Jordan farting, Brendon & Dom dressed up like pansies, etc). I think CBS realized that they had no “talent” this season and decided to stop casting once they ended up on these 8 and decided they needed to bring back some fan favorites and Brendon and Rachel to spice up the season. The vets are doing their best, but I feel like these newbies are lame to the point where this is probably going to go down as one of the worst seasons of Big Brother. Just sayin’.

Holy crap, Lawon talks!! And not just in a diary session. Seriously, I think that the only talking he has done all throughout the season so far has been in the diary room. But, this time, he went up to talk to Brendon and Rachel and we now found out why he hasn’t been doing any talking. Apparently, he never learned how to talk! Did anybody understand what he was saying? I don’t think we could after focusing in on his orange shorts, green argyle socks, and orange crocs. They still sell crocs?

Since everyone in the house sucks at the game of Big Brother, they have to kill more time in this episode showing us Dom snoring. Daniele described it as sounding like “a small dinosaur.” Then, we saw Jeff actually throwing things at his face while he was sleeping to get him to shut up. These are the small details people don’t think about when they think how easy it would be to live in this house. I’m somewhat like Jeff. I’m not a light sleeper, but I am a light falling-asleep-er!! If I’m not asleep yet and there is even a slightly annoying noise in the room, I might as well just get up and start my day, because I won’t be able to sleep. Snoring is culprit number one. Every night that I go to sleep after my wife, I know it’s going to take me at least an hour to fall asleep. She doesn’t snore that badly, but like I said, even the slightest annoyance will keep me up. And, not just her, but we have two dogs in the room and one of them is a snorer, as well. I can’t tell you how many times I almost choked this bastard to death just because he doesn’t ever shut up. I will kick him with my feet to shut up, he’ll walk up closer to my face, lay down again, and not a minute later he’s back to snoring. I know the son of a b*tch isn’t asleep yet, so you best believe he moved up closer just to be a jackwagon. Seriously, if anyone likes 4-9 year old dachshund dogs, he’s yours. Yes, he has an age range because even the “vets” at the shelter we got him from couldn’t tell. I’m sure they were just laughing at us for actually considering buying him and decided to lie about his age, hoping we’d still buy him. We did. And, my life has sucked since.
