Happy Birthday to Adam. As a celebration, he decides to shave off his beard. He doesn’t know it, but this is more a gift to all of us than it is for him. Now, you still don’t look like you frequent martini lounges and 90210 jerk circles, but I think this look suits you better than the “heavy metal, long beard” look. The days of Metallica are done and over. Seriously, do they even make heavy metal music anymore? Are there Jewish heavy metal bands I don’t know about?
Rachel makes her best move yet by talking to Kalia and telling her she is in a great spot and has the ability to make an incredibly smart move by earning herself an ally in Rachel. Rachel tries to convince her that by putting up someone she can “beat” (she means someone who would get voted out besides her) she would then owe Kalia her life in the game and would always have her back from then on out. Kalia, showing her intelligence (that’s a relative term in the game this season with the total IQ of the house being between the levels of Kendra Wilkinson and Heidi Montag), agrees that it would be a smart game move for her to keep Rachel (this relates to my earlier comment about the double-edged sword effect with keeping a threat). Kalia talks to Daniele about it, who of course does not agree it is a smart move. Daniele disapproves because it’s not a smart move for HER game, but that is exactly what Kalia is trying to say to Daniele during the conversation. She tells her that she is never going to get out of her shadow unless she starts making her own moves and playing her own game. Kalia feels as if she’s back playing the game as a duo again and I’m actually semi-proud of Kalia for saying all of this and realizing it. Good for her. I will save a sarcastic comment here and be nice to her since, for once, someone is making a decent game decision. Let’s hope the disease spreads (and, no, I don’t mean Porsche’s herpes) now and others start to actually play this game, rather than just treat this like a vacation.
I can’t stress to you how idiotic the next scene is. Lawon, ever the bowtie strategist, tells Kalia and the rest of the “group,” that he WANTS to go up AND be evicted, so as to make it easier for Kalia since she is struggling with who else to put up on the block. Excuse me? Did you just say that you not only would agree to be the replacement nominee, but that you also want the house to evict you? You do understand that you are no longer Kalia’s partner and you don’t have to help her go further in the game, right? I can understand (almost) agreeing to be the pawn for this week, but why the hell would you tell everyone that you want to be evicted when you are on nobody’s radar for eviction? You could have floated to final 5 at the least, but yet you want to go home? I know that you are thinking you will come back in the house with the twist, and are thinking you will come back with a new power in the game, but why would you risk that? You did hear that you only had the opportunity to get back in the house, correct? It wasn’t a for sure thing. I apologize for all these questions, but I can’t smack him in the face, so I need to feel like I am by asking all of these questions. Part of me believes that CBS told him to do this. I think they offered him $10,000 if he would throw himself on the grenade to go home because they realized how worthless he was this season. And, that leads me to another thought.
I also believe that CBS wants one of the evicted houseguests to return. The best way to have that happen is to have a worthless competitor face off against that returning houseguest in whatever competition they are going to have for them. The most worthless to face off against would be Lawon. And, I wholeheartedly believe ya’ll have done right by me (and my BB GF) and voted Cassi back into the house. CBS wants her back in the game and they know that her best chance would be to go up against Lawon. Since Kalia is HOH, Lawon is the only option for this competition. Or lack of, I should say. This is just another moment where us intelligent viewers see right through what the show is doing. I know there are always twists and turns in the game of Big Brother, but this entire season has been played off emotions and they want us to believe that all of a sudden, Kalia of all people has smartened the house up and decided to make smart game moves and not vote out Rachel when they’ve hated her all along? No way. I’m not buying it. Nice try, CBS. Nice try.
This move is going down as the stupidest move in Big Brother history, even if he does come back. Move over Marcellus, you’ve just been surpassed in the stupidity department. Hand over the trophy to Lawon’s dumb, I can’t tie a tie ass.
Anyways, Jeff ends the show by using the Veto on himself and then makes the runner up comment of the night when he turns to the people on the “safety couch,” and says “Please make some room.” Good stuff. Even if he’s not the greatest game player, I still love him in the house.
Annnnnd… HE’S BACK IN THE GAME!! And no, I do not mean Brenden ( I refuse to talk about that, I am too upset)..I meant YOU!!!
This blog was amazing!! I was cracking up. This is what we want each time, do you agree with me America? If you do not agree, then you are probably one of those that voted Brenden back in the game.
I noticed the same thing about the have/have not competition question with Jordan. I was so confused. I’m sure she was saying the right thing and they just edited the show differently.
hahaha great blog! I agree – the Brendon thing has be be fixed. No way people voted him in. Did you see Daniele’s face through the whole competition? She looked like she was going to throw up. I thought Lawon’s move was the stupidest move in BB history – until Daniele went for the Lawon eviction. She should have known better. Like you said, never play into the twist. I think she even said that, but then she totally played into the twist. Dumb. I don’t think she has as much right to make fun of Rachel now that she pulled that move.
And the girl crying thing…take that with a grain of salt. Often its a stress reliever (this of course is with exception of Rachel who is acting the whole time to get airtime). Trust me, as a woman, I hate that my reaction to stress sometimes is to cry – it makes me mad. And, they have no other way of dealing with stress in that house! After that good cry is done, you can move on and calm down. You can equate it with men’s urges to punch walls or throw things or scream and yell and be destructive (Jeff and Brendon have done that in the past) which is just as stupid and nonsensical.
As for the have/have not competition – it didn’t show Rachel’s turn, or on the other team, they didn’t show one person’s turn either (I can’t remember who, but only 3 of the 4 were shown). But I wonder if they did a couple of rounds, not just one each – so maybe Jordan and Adam did go head to head and we just didn’t see that play out? That competition would have taken some time, so maybe they just cut it short.
Finally, one comment about Jordan – I’m surprised she’s getting so worked up and angry about the floaters doing nothing in the game..ahh…does she not remember her season? That’s exactly the way she played it, until the final 4, then she did make some smart moves and showed she was playing. But the floaters she keeps yelling at to do something are doing the same thing she did, no? Maybe that’s the difference between playing it again – you get more aggressive the second time around. Same with the allstar season – lots of aggressive play (my favourite season to date)
I stupidly used to think that this show didn’t have that much producer manipulation. But Brendon being voted back in? There’s no f*cking way that worthless turd received the votes to return. I enjoy watching reality TV shows like this, but it pisses me off to no end when the scripting and manipulation is so blatantly obvious.
F*ck this show……
Oh, and sorry about Cassi. I would have preferred her over that limp d*ck retard Brendon.
Great column Scott! Anyone else notice the upset noises that were in the background when Daniele voted to evict Lawon? Almost like there was an audience to her vote…maybe the cameraperson? Who exactly was that? DR people or some other form of production? It was obvious that someone in the vicinity was not pleased with her vote…I thought it was weird.
scrantonicity – that was the crowd outside the BB house (the live audience for Thursdays show)- same when Rachel found out about the twist and sat there with her mouth open for 10 minutes cause she heard the audience laughing? I think it probably came through Jenbots mic.
Scott, welcome back! That was a great post, I just hope young girls don’t read your blog like they do Steves because of the cussing.
I am SOOOOOO bummed that Brendan is back in the house. Why can’t networks just let America vote and deal with the results, it’s as if BB wants one of the vets to win this game. Can’t wait until the HOH. Lawon, what were you thinking!!!!
Scott..
Well I’ll get straight to the point…I’ve read your blogs and rather enjoyed them until you get aggrevated and then your profanity goes into full gear…and then you go rampant with the insults…
C’mon now..is that really necessary in order to have a good blog???
And no I didn’t just crawl out from under a rock and I’m deff not a prude…not my first time at the rodeo either…but there comes a point when the insults/profanity really makes your blog less than entertaining to read…
This is just my own personal opinion..perhaps shared by others..perhaps not…and before you or anyone tells me “If you don’t like it..don’t read it”…yeah..I know that..DUH…but point is I do want to read it…just with a little more “class”..
Anyways…just my comments/thoughts for whatever their worth…
Wolf Goddess, I can’t really win either way. I make insults and people get angry, I do the recap without sarcasm and people get angry, I try to do it middle-of-the-road to make both sides happy and people still don’t like it. I know that I’m being crude and insulting, but I’m also doing it in good fun. I won’t make the “don’t like it, don’t read it” argument because I WANT you to read my blog. I appreciate you doing so and taking the time to leave your thoughts on how you feel. I hope I can find some happy medium, but I don’t think I will be able to. But, I will try and cut down on the cussing. That’s now ALWAYS necessary…but just know I swear A LOT more in real life conversations than I do here! 🙂
Scott, you’re a better person than me. I would have directed Wolf Turd, err, I mean ‘Goddess’, towards reruns of the old ‘Teletubbies’ show for expecting a family friendly environment. I realize this is a poor comparison, but to me its like asking politicians to not openly discuss politics.
Maybe Wolfie would be less inclined to complain if she spent her time reading children’s books over at http://www.seussville.com instead.
THANKS Scott for taking the time to reply…
I do understand your ‘no win’ situation and appreciate your replying to my comments without being ‘nasty’…
Sorry can’t say the same for “Nobody” who deemed it necessary to call me a “Turd”…looooool
Been called far worse than that..so “Thanks for the laugh”..and also for directing me to the Dr. Seuss website…GOTTA LOVE SEUSSVILLE..
“Sorry can’t say the same for “Nobody” who deemed it necessary to call me a “Turd”…looooool”
Wolfie, thats why its best that Scott writes this blog instead of me. I have little tolerance for people who complain about the content of a blog. Its Scott’s blog to write as he deems necessary. Don’t like what he says? Maybe this is more up your alley… http://www.agkidzone.com/care-bears
I don’t get it. First, Kalia is a genius and you fully agree with her move to get back into Jorff’s good graces and put Lawon up, and in your Thursday recap, you agree with Jeff that the move was stupid?? Do you not see the complete 180 you did between episodes…in the same blog post?
I don’t think it was producer manipulation at all that Brendon got voted back in.. Think about it: Obviously Keith was not going to be voted back in. Cassi was not going to get voted back in because I bet the male population that watches BB is small in majority to the female population (and those men that do watch certainly aren’t going to vote online or text). Then, when it comes down to Dom and Brendon, you have Brendon AND Rachel fans voting for Brendon. Also, Brendon has been on the show for 2 seasons now and thus, has acquired a bigger fan base than Dom, who was only on a couple weeks. Also, I suspect some people voted for Brendon because they thought Rachel would be evicted and they wanted to watch that play out.
Personally, I love Brendon and Rachel.. for comedic value. I have 4 different e-mail addresses so I was able to vote 40 times (10 per e-mail) for Brendon. So sorry everyone, I definitely helped get him back in! 😉
PS- Hahahaha @ calling Danielle “Man-Jaw”.. so true.
Kaw0610, I highly doubt your 40 votes for Brandon made much of a difference. Add that to his final total and he was lucky to get what, 150 votes total?
Sorry, I still dont see how the entire United States could be dumb enough to vote for Brendon; it just isn’t possible. CBS knows that Brendon being there adds to the drama, and drama equals ratings in their minds (see anything Bachelor related for more examples). Its their show and they will do anything to see that it doesn’t tank. This is easier to believe than Brendon having that many fans across the US.
