I’m going to start off this blog by ending any and all speculation. I know absolutely nothing about anything going on with Steve and his website. Steve has no reason to share with me anything that is happening in his life, nor would I even expect him to, so for all of those who asked, and those who didn’t but wondered, I have no idea what is going on. So, for those of you thinking that Steve impregnated one of the former contestants of The Bachelor franchise, I highly doubt that is it (although, the way Ashley Spivey looked in that white dress at the finale, I’m sure Steve and most other men wouldn’t mind attempting to impregnate her). Also, I am NOT taking over the website and becoming Reality Scott (thanks for that sentiment, but no). As much as I’d like to make money doing what Steve does, I definitely don’t want all the hang-ups that come along with his job. I don’t need someone to start a fake Twitter account pretending to be me (although I’d be flattered and would probably have some fun with it), I don’t need to be sued and have to worry about being dead broke, I don’t need to have heads of TV networks coming after me, and I don’t need my own readers hating my guts and telling the world about it on facebook and in the comments section of my own blog.
So, just to reiterate, I know absolutely nothing. I’m in the same boat as all of you are. When Steve decides to share any stories of big happenings in his life, I hear them along with you, in his blog postings. We don’t have weekly phone conversations or email threads strategizing how to take down whoever is up against him. Although, if he ever did want help scheming his way out of things, I’d be willing to help. I like a good “word fight.” I don’t think it’s possible for me to lose one of those.
I will say one last thing and that is I definitely don’t mind your conspiracy theory emails. Keep them coming, they are great entertainment to me. Those are the kind of emails I love responding to, please don’t think my life only revolves around Big Brother and Survivor, you can talk to me about anything!!
Let’s get back to Big Brother, shall we?
The show begins with Shane telling us that he wants one of Janelle’s players gone this week. Foreshadowing? I think not.
Oh, and we also learn early on tonight that Joe is the biggest threat in the house. Thanks Joe for clearing that up. Personally, I was thinking Shane or Frank might be a pretty decent sized threat, but I guess you are the biggest sized threat in the house. No matter how smart I think I am, I can never get things right. I think I need to keep Joe around me, on a daily basis, to help clarify situations. I could ask him things like, “Joe, should I take the highway to work today, or do you think I should tempt fate and sit through the 52 stoplights that are between my home and my office?” Or, “Joe, does this pear look ripe to you?” Well, sh*t, he’d probably know that one, so I guess he actually could help me out. Do pears even get “ripe?” I don’t even know these things, anyway. Where are you Juggles? I need you.
Janelle goes and talks to Britney and tells her that she wants to work together. Shocking and breaking news: Janelle has two players nominated and wants to work with the HOH and his coach! I don’t think anybody saw this revelation coming. But, she does make a good point in that Boogie and Frank are dangerous. Of course, I think that goes without saying since everyone else in the house blows rhinoceros penis at this game.
I actually have to compliment Britney on her coaching at this point. I think she was just frazzled with having three players under her wing and she didn’t know how to divvy up the time and who to concentrate on and what advice to give you and when. But, now that it’s just her and Shane, I think she knows exactly what she has in her team and what she needs to do to win. She was originally second-guessing his nominations, but came around and told him that she agreed with his strategy, because it left them with so many options with the backdoor capabilities still open. It didn’t matter who won Veto this week, because if they took off one of Janelle’s players, they could easily put up Frank and get him out of the game. And, if Frank happened to play, and was safe, they could still get out one of Janelle’s players. No matter what, they were in a good spot. Kudos to Britney for entering the game. It may be a tad late for Willie and JoJo, but Shane should benefit from you being around.
I have never laughed so hard!! That is some funny shit about the raccoon! I wouldn’t mess with one of them critters either, might get rabies…..
If the new contestants were smart they would start picking off all the coaches, otherwise they are all in trouble. But I agree with you, Britney has become so much more likeable, doesn’t seem like such a twit now.
I’m so glad me almost dying brought such enjoyment to your day! 🙂
Something I forgot to mention in my blog was the dynamic of Britney now. I really was liking her as a coach, but think I’m going to end up not liking her as much as a player, seeing as how she might be joking around less, now that she has to plot and scheme to save herself…this could be troubling.
Your whole commentary about Danielle becoming a Stage 5 Clinger after kissing Shane and the producers having to hide every knife in the house made me DIE of laughter…and I’m at work in a quiet office, thanks a lot 😛
I think it would have been way more entertaining if they had let the coaches enter the game if they wanted to, but not make all of them. That way we’d have a weird mix of “teams” and individuals, which could make the strategy really interesting. Boogie’s completely toast now.
I agree that CBS dropped the ball with that decision. I, too, think it would have added such a strong dynamic to the house if there were players, veterans, and one coach still left standing. Who would the players vote to get out: the veterans or Boogie’s players? Every conversation Boogie had after that would have been classic, because nobody would have wanted to tell him diddly dick! 🙂
As for Danielle, if you thought she was a Stage 5 Clinger before, just wait until you know more about some things happening now and we’re going to have to create a whole new category of Clinger-ness for her…
This was BY FAR your best blog ever. I was holding in my laughter as best as I could. 🙂 “Frank’s bushy haired butthole…” LOL.
I also agree that the coaches should have been able to decide IF they wanted back in the game or not, as individuals and not forced to enter if only one person said yes. That would have created a better dynamic-
Still my favorite reality competition show-no matter what.
And you are still my favorite Big Brother blogger… 🙂
I didn’t get Shane and the lint roller thing either? What was the point of that? And the pink tank top – I’m all for guys wearing pink – but it was more the cut of the tank top that disturbed me more than anything – it was rather feminine. Or maybe I’m not up to date on men’s tank tops and its the new style. I guess he could have went with Wil’s styling and wore a little pink speedo with a blazer…I am glad he took off his 90’s shell necklace though. Probably was worried it would give him tan lines – that guy has a wicked tan going. Looking at him next to Ian now is rather funny.
I think the coaches – and Britney in particular – getting better is just a result of time – I think it took some time for everyone to get to know one another, get use to the game (the coaches would have had a leg up on that one), build some trust, and get to know strengths and weaknesses. Now that the coaches have spent enough time – they can really start to be effective. So I honestly don’t think they are better than they use to be – we don’t have anything to compare it to, to be able to judge that. But Britney is surprising me from what I expected – but like you said, she has only one person to concentrate on.
Also – I don’t know if Dan did the right coaching thing with Danielle. I think he is use to coaching guys, not girls, and that might be a good thing to say to guys, but I don’t think it was a good thing to say to her. Okay – let me clarify – the message itself I agree with, but it was the delivery that was not right for her. If Danielle was a different type of female – like Janelle – she might have responded well to Dan’s first strategy of throwing her in the deep end to swim, or this strategy of telling her to lay off the emotion. But, I think its a mistake b/c he doesn’t get her personality – she needs some support, some hand holding, and really subtle guidance, I don’t think she will respond well to his comments. I think by him saying that, she will fight that much harder to do the opposite – and want to cling to Shane more (which sounds like this is what she’s doing). She seems like a smitten teenager – and as most parents know, as soon as you tell your girl they shouldn’t see that boy, she’s gonna sneak out of the house to prove you wrong, and go see that boy. I think Dan’s fundamental mistake was picking all girls for his team – I actually don’t mind Dan – but he’s used to coaching guys, not girls, and I honestly think he has no idea how to do so.
Oh – and Scott, I think you might want to rethink having Juggles as your life coach, haha. He might make you and your wife breakfast it bed – but he’d make you get up to eat it at 5am, and shout ‘EAT THIS PEAR, ITS RIPE!….BRUSH YOUR TEETH FOR 3 MINUTES SCOTT’ haha. I’m pretty sure you’d have a massive headache from all his help!
I am starting to think, Cndgirl, that you’re a lot like me and you like to disagree with people just to disagree, play Devil’s Advocate a little! 🙂 With my entire comment about Dan, I am 100% right. When you are a coach, all you can do is coach. You don’t get to play. So, all you can tell your players is the right thing to do, what they then do with that information is on them. Dan may not have said the words he needed to say, in the right tone, in the right way, but he said the right words. Whether or not she listens is on her. So, Dan was still making a good coaching move, but Danielle is such a crappy player that she’s not going to pay attention. She’s a smitten girl, and like you said, no matter what a smitten girl is told, she’s not going to listen. Especially when the guy she’s smitten over keeps “messing” with her head. You girls just never listen, so as a girl, yourself, I’d expect you to take the girls side and say that Dan needs to coddle her more, hold her hand, etc, when you and I (and everyone else) know that it still won’t matter, because the next time Shane goes and looks at Danielle, she’s back to being smitten. 🙂
As for you, Christine0622, I love you.
Okay…yep…maybe a little 🙂 but in a fun-debate kind of way! It’s an interesting way to learn and get different perspectives…
Hmmm – you do have a point about no matter what he says she probably won’t listen, so maybe he did need to take the hard line. It might be the right thing to say – problem is, he won’t end up accomplishing what he needs or wants to accomplish that way. He won’t have a chance. He might of at least had a chance a different way – but it does take longer and one doesn’t have much time in the BB house, so maybe that wouldn’t work either. And – well I don’t consider myself a stereotypical female, so you might be making an assumption there about whose side I’d take (I would have tried to get a team of all guys to coach if it was me – as I’m not much into drama – much more into logic) 🙂
Have you noticed how Frank blinks? It literally takes him five seconds to complete each blink.
The whole Ian/Britney conversation made me think of a movie I’m sure Ian has seen. Ghostbusters pointed out that “if someone asks if you are a God, YOU SAY YES!” Just like if an HOH’s coach asks if their player will be safe next week.
Hahaha, nice Ghostbusters reference!! Love it. Wish I had come up with that one. 🙂
As for Ian, this guy keeps talking about how he wants to masturbate in the HOH room when he wins…he even mentioned it during the competition last night! Total creeper.
Also, Cndgirl, if I had a penny for every girl who told me she wasn’t the “stereotypical girl,” I’d be a pretty rich man! 🙂 I’m not lumping EVERY girl into the same category, but I’m just sayin’ 🙂
Not sure whether it’s kosher to talk about who won the HOH yesterday, so I won’t … but I will say it’s a game-changer for at least the coming week.
Funny, Scott, that you mentioned Ian’s seeming inability to be still and his toe-walking as I was struck by that again last night, too. I think he has (mild) tourettes syndrome. One of my family members has 3 kids who all have it & Ian reminds me of them, from the odd walking gait/toe-walking to the social awkwardness to the inappropriate comments.
I have to admit I was pi$$ed off at BB bringing the coaches into the game, but I’m over it. I think it will make things much more interesting.
Frankly (<— see what I did there?), I was cheering when Dan tried to tell Danielle to pull her head out of her ass … or out of Shane's ass. Shane is going to play Danielle big-time & she's cruising for a world of heartache.
My prediction is that Janelle will be one of the players to be put up for eviction this coming week. That may just be wishful thinking on my part – I can't stand her.
Which reminds me: I'm convinced one of the BB camera operators has a permanent boner over Janelle. TWICE in the After Dark programming last week, when Jannelle's back was to the camera, he panned the camera from her feet aaallllll the way up her body (lingering on her butt); and this week, when she took a bath in the HOH bathroom (by the way, although she had a bikini on, when she came out of the change area to get into the bathtub she had a nip-slip, which I'm sure made the cameraman experience a nocturnal emission), again the camera panned her entire body, starting at her feet aaalllll the way up her body, this time lingering on her bosom. Wow.
Hey, maybe Ian was manning the camera! (Joke!)
I'm really enjoying your recaps, Scott. Stay away from dangerous wildlife.
Cheers to all.
That’s really creepy if the cameramen are doing that. Ew. Makes you wonder with all that footage they have, if they ever take any home for themselves…double ew.
LMAO @ finding Jimmy Hoffa’s body and carrying it around – LOL – hilarious recap.
I don’t mind the coaches joining the competition, really, but here’s what I wanted to go differently:
An eviction this week
&
Let whichever coaches wanted to join join and whoever didn’t (Boogie) remain as a coach.
Shane’s pink tank top is cut just the same as Ryan’s white one on “The Bachelorette” (like some kind of woman’s undershirt!).
Although, nevermind, if Boogie was the only one to remain as coach there wouldn’t be a coaches’ competition anymore. 😀 But it would have been interesting if most of the coaches wanted to remain as coaches!
Jeepers Jumping Jackrabbits! Is there any way to contact the BB producers and have them ask Joe to stop PICKING at himself?!?!
It’s a damned good thing they edit it out of the broadcast, but on the After Dark programming Joe demonstrates a very serious problem with PDS (Personal Dirt Syndrome).
He picks his nose constantly; or scratches his nose/ears/face; or reaches over his back and squeezes/scratches whatever zits or other growths he may be incubating there …
THEN he looks at whatever he has produced through his picking, and, even worse …
HE CLEANS whatever is caught under his fingernails with his TEETH!
Holy cr*p, it’s SO gross!!
