BIG BROTHER – 7/20/12

Boogie goes and talks to Britney and Britney isn’t backing down from his “threats.” I’m not sure we witnessed the entire conversation, but I didn’t hear any threats in there. He did, however, tell you that if Frank came off the blog and someone from his alliance went up, he’d know where your allegiance stood, but it’s not as if he was saying, “You’re dead, b*tch.” That’s a threat. Anything said in the Big Brother house is NOT a threat. It’s a play in a game. Let’s all calm down and not run to our “friends” in the house and tell them you just got threatened by Mike Boogie of all people. We already went over how non-scary he is, so let’s take it easy here.

After he threatens the B, he goes for the J and throws a D under the bus (couldn’t resist). Translation: He talked to Janelle and threw Dan under the bus by telling her they should vote Kara out, so that it cripples Dan and he’d only have Two-Face left in his stable, and she’d have to go coast-to-coast to win it all for herself and Dan. Not sure if Boogie knows this, but ANYONE who wins has to go coast-to-coast in order to win. Smooth, Boogs. Anyway, Janelle goes and tells Dan that Boogie presented her with the idea to vote out Kara and that would leave Dan with only 1 player. Oh, so that’s what would happen if Kara got voted out! Holy shiz, this whole time, I had been thinking that Mike Boogie WANTED Frank to get voted out. Man, I guess we should all hate Mike Boogie for “throwing Dan under the bus” by telling Janelle to vote out Kara instead of Frank. Yes, Dan, call yourself a loser Renegade again (and remind me how much I hated you and the stupid Renegades in your season), and get all pissy about Mike Boogie, saying he doesn’t know how to win. I’m quite sure he does. DON’T LET YOUR PLAYERS GET VOTED OUT!! Wow, that was easy, wasn’t it? As if Dan didn’t know Boogie was going to try and keep Frank, so let’s not get so upset when people approach you about getting your players out of the game! He has no choice in the matter. Triple D at his best.

One more thing, these coaches need to stop talking like they are playing this game! You guys’ are coaches. You don’t have a vote, you don’t compete in the competitions, you don’t get to nominate players, your players are the ones playing. So, Dan saying Boogie doesn’t know what it takes to win is ridiculous, because these idiots aren’t playing in the game. The only thing they can do is hope that their players listen to their advice and that they make smart moves in the game, lay low when they need to, vote with their alliance until it’s the right time to turn on them, make it to the end, win the last HOH, and get more votes than the second place person! That’s it. Nothing they do in the mean time can really have a major effect on them winning anything. So, let’s stop showing all the coaches and their strategies and let’s start hearing more from the actual players of the game! I want to know more about how Jugglin’ Joe thinks he can win this game, or what Willie is going to do to get back on top after his disastrous idea to host a house meeting without the coaches (I’m sure they’ll show this in tomorrow’s episode & I’ll cover it then), or how Danielle thinks she’s going to last with her being the only player left on Dan’s team if Kara should get voted out tomorrow. These are the things I want CBS to show us, not Britney feeling threatened by Mike Boogie, not Janelle talking to Dan about how he will only have 1 player left and Boogie is happy about it, and definitely not Dan talking to us about how Boogie isn’t making smart moves to “win” this season of Big Brother when he can’t “win” anyway. Get it together, CBS.

If you had any question why The Notorious R.I.B. picked JoJo to host the Veto Competition, I think it was answered when she came out of the diary room in her bikini. I’m not so excited about hearing her voice while she explains the rules, but I guess I’ll just pretend it’s her boobs talking and maybe I can tune it out. Seriously, she sounds like a mix of Snooki and a 350 pound truck driver with an unusually high-pitched voice.

As for the actual competition, it had to do with them sliding around in bubbles, looking for oversized coins to throw into oversized slots. And, Kara thought the most difficult part was throwing the coins in the slot! Really, sweetheart, what else would have been the hardest part? Walking? Sliding in the water/bubbles? Searching for the coins, which were EVERYWHERE? I’m not sure she’s doing much for the blonde and big boob-d stereotype! Good effort, though. I know thinking is hard to do, so I appreciate you coming up with something to say.

Oh, and Frank SUCKS! This is exactly what I mean about how you never know who will be an actual threat in the game. The guy missed about six or seven throws that would have, essentially, won him the game. Just because a man is tall and has some muscle on him, doesn’t mean he’s going to be a great performer in competitions. You never know what the competitions are going to be. He could have “big feet” like Brendon and apparently that causes you to lose competitions all the time! You just never know. But, now we know that Frank isn’t going to be as big of a threat as everyone was thinking.

Shane ends up winning. Mostly by default since Kara is useless, Danielle is more useless than a toothbrush is for a no-armed small person with no teeth, The Notorious R.I.B. is well, an idiot, and Frank treated that slot as if it was JoJo’s “slot” and he wanted nothing to do with making his money shot.

Also, someone tell Shane not to do that gay-appearing “VT” sign with his fingers anymore. Douche alert. And, also, asking JoJo for a kiss was another douche-screaming action. I’m not hating on Shane at all, because I still think he might end up being the only person I may actually want to root for this season, but I think he’s coming on a little too strong. I can only imagine the stuff CBS ISN’T showing us that he’s doing! If he keeps up at this pace, he’s going to end up a bigger target, irritating people in the house, and pretty much asking to leave.

Boogies talks to Shane and makes the point that keeping Frank in the house is the smart thing to do, because it’s never a bad thing to keep targets around as long as possible, to help deflect some of the target from yourself. But, at the same time, Shane could have argued that using the Veto on Freakshow would have painted a bigger target on his back, therefore negating that theory/game plan. I do think it’s best for Shane NOT to use the Veto, but I also think Boogie made some solid points. You do always want targets in the house, but it becomes dangerous the longer you keep them. I think the smartest game plan in the Big Brother house is to let other people dictate the action, let other people cause the drama, stay out of said drama, stir the pot only when you can be assured nobody will know it’s you doing so, and winning as many Veto’s as you can. It’s early, but I think Shane is the one who seems as if he’d stick to a game plan like this where he won’t be the leader of his alliance but he will be an integral part of it, he won’t cause drama by starting fights/arguments, he’ll go back and forth with alliances without promising them anything, therefore not exactly showing his true alliance and being someone who if he votes the opposite way people are expecting, it wouldn’t be able to be proven, and he can easily win competitions against these slugs.

I may be going out on too much of a limb too early in the game, but I have to believe, from what I’ve seen and heard so far, Shane may be the favorite to win Big Brother 14.

At the Veto Ceremony, Shane does NOT use the Power of Veto and the nominations stay the same. Also, “Appreesh.” Not cool, Freakshow. Maybe if you’re a 10 year old girl, it sounds cool coming out of your mouth. But, a grown man shouldn’t be using terms like that! Say the “I” first and then speak the full word “Appreciate” after it. I’m not down with the “text talk” these days that runs rampant around grown people and teenagers alike. I don’t think it looks cool or makes you sound cool when you use it. If I’m a rapper making millions of dollars to write a song, sure I can go ahead and use it, but if I’m a regular old person just toiling around in the world, I think I can speak “proper” English. Although, I’m sure there are probably t-shirts being sold with “Appreesh” written across it right now. People make money off of stupid sh*t like this every day while I have to sit my @ss at my desk, hate my job, barely make enough to keep the roof over my head, while idiots like Frank can make money off of talking like a teenage girl. We live in a grand world these days. One day, I’ll catch my big break and make it on some inane reality show, say something stupid and make millions because of it. Or, I’ll record my daughter dancing, post it to Youtube and make money from that. All of this money just being thrown around, I’ll get my piece one day. Maybe I should start a kickstarter page and ask people to give me money so that I can use that money to try and make more money. Anybody want to donate to my “I Want To Be Rich” kickstarter page? If you say yes, you’re an idiot, but I will love you for all of your idiocy! I will also give you my paypal account information and we can transfer that money over right away.

Ok, I digress.

We ended the show with Dan calling Boogie a “42 year old 2nd rate Chill Town member.” I actually have to say I’m impressed with the writers over at CBS. Good line for Dan. I actually think that was pretty creative. Kudos to a job well done. Although, I will say that there were only 2 members of Chill Town, so I’m not sure calling him 2nd rate is too much of a dig, but again that’s just me nitpicking. Something I do well.

Ok, on to Thursday’s live show and eviction.
