Frank approaches Ian and tries to sell him on the fact that he is more trustworthy than the Quaker Oats gang would ever be. Too late, Frank. Ian already chose his side, you may as well just go lift some more weights and tan by the six foot wide pool in the backyard (sidenote: don’t you think it’s time they get a bigger house, with a bigger pool?). Ian realizes that Frank has a good selling point, in the fact that he can’t play in the next HOH competition, but at the same time, Ian has to realize that if he doesn’t get Frank out, he has to get out either Dan or Shane. Anyone else and it’s a wasted HOH. And, we all know how skiddish Ian is, and there is NO WAY he’s going after anyone other than Frank this week.
Ooh, another Pandora’s Box! CBS proves more how much they love Ian by lavishing great gifts onto him while the rest of the houseguests get Jessie Claus stealing their food! For what it’s worth, Jessie is one of my favorites. Not because I like him, or how he played, but just for his entertainment value. He brought something to the house most other people don’t, and that’s the feeling of wanting to watch them each night. Most of the people this season don’t have any entertainment value. If you break them all down one-by-one, who do you REALLY want to watch each night? I mean, we don’t even have a pretty girl on the show anymore! Seriously, I think there have been about three bikini shots all season long! What happened to the CBS camera crew and editing staff? My guess is they fired the horny old men who worked in the truck the past 13 seasons and hired some women to handle what we get to see. No, but in all seriousness, I don’t think there is one person left on this season who people can honestly say they’d tune in to watch and see what they did next on a daily basis. As for Jessie, no matter how ridiculously stupid he is, he was fun to watch and that is why they continue to bring him back!
After Ian wins all those great prizes (can you imagine how much fun he had rubbing one out on that Christmas tree after opening all those gifts), he tells Dan that he is considering keeping Frank safe this week, and gunning for Jenn, because Frank can’t play in next week’s HOH competition. Dan, ever so clever, talks Ian out of that by telling him it’s better to take two swings at him, just in case he wins the Veto this week. Dan is right with what he is saying, and they really have no other option than to, at least, try and get him out this week. Like Boogie said earlier this season, it would be an insult to Frank if he wasn’t nominated!! Ian actually says that he doesn’t want to nominate Frank and that he believes he deserves a week off. That may be true, considering Frank has been nominated EVERY SINGLE WEEK THIS SEASON (besides the two weeks he won HOH)! It’s getting kind of old now.
Before the nominations are announced, Jenn tells us she has zero regrets about her massive move she made last week, even if she’s nominated tonight because of it. Uh…I don’t know, Jenn, I think you should kinda sorta regret it, considering had you just gotten Dan out, you and Frank may be sitting pretty tonight, perhaps joining a new power alliance, aiming to get Shane and Danielle out, then going to the final four with yourself, Frank, Ian, and Joe. Where you are now, you’re getting nominated tonight, and either getting voted out on Thursday or the Thursday after that. But, Thursday is a double eviction, so chances are you’ll be going home this Thursday, with Frank. So, yeah, don’t feel any regret there. You just lost yourself, and Frank, this game, so feel proud.
Frank and Jenn were named the nominees and someone needs to tell Ian to stop lying! Jenn has NOT “played a remarkable social game” up to this point! Although, I guess we see things differently than they do in the house, so for all we know, she runs things in that house on a social level. Who am I kidding? That was definitely the vodka and sprite talking.
And, my last note I wrote down was “Dan still an @sshole.” That had to be the vodka talking because I don’t remember why I wrote this, or what he said to deserve me writing this. My guess is he said something about how it’s amazing that he’s still in the game, or something along those lines. Congratulations, Dan, you’re still an @sshole.
I hope you all enjoyed your Labor Day weekend, and your Labor Day celebrations today/tonight! Have a drink on me. I’m going to bed now. I have to be up in 7 hours to take my daughter to some parade she won’t even remember a month from now. Well, I shouldn’t say that, she does have an exquisite memory (unlike her dad). I will correct myself. I have to take my daughter to some parade that I won’t remember a month from now, but she will have all sorts of fun, as long as they throw candy our way and fire trucks pass us by. But, if little people go driving by in little people cars, she’ll freak the f*ck out. Or, for that matter, monkeys running up and down the street, stopping to high-five people along the parade path. Yes, all two year olds love to see 6-foot tall monkeys skipping around, running right up to them with their hands way up in the air! Someone taught you well, my friend. Just throw the candy at our feet from a distance and skip-to-my-lou the f*ck away! Thank you.
Until Friday,

Well, luck is when preparation meets opportunity….he may be an @sshole, but it’s not too different than Boogies run. I know you’ll think I’m just arguing with you, but production intervened a number of times with Frank and Boogie and not much of a stink was kicked up about that…Boogie didn’t win any competitions either (except for money and no one was against him in that!). Also, Boogie getting Janelle out and the conversations that preceeded were a very lucky hapinstance, or production interfered (you know, cause production must be present with all major strategy 🙂 ) The only real difference is Boogie choose to stay loyal to one or two (but still gave props to Ian when he found out what he did) and he’s a lot funnier so it cushions the blow a bit, but I imagine many think to Boogie as a cocky @sshole too. Oh yeah, and now Boogie is gone, so there is that.
Don’t get me wrong, I loved Boogie, (and Dr. Will) and I’m kind of not sure of Dan, he has showed some real fundamental bad person behaviour a few times, just really cold, and i agree that if you swear on those kinds of things its pretty horrible to the next day with barely a blink to go back on your word, but I honestly think Boogie and Dan’s games are not night and day. More like night and later that night.
Ultimately though, I can’t believe Ian is blaming Frank – he is NOT kaiser soze. As soon as Dan started his funeral, I said “no f’in way, what a bunch of manipulative b.s.” and did not buy any of it (and that way confirmed with Dans diary room) and COULD NOT BELIEVE NOT ONE PERSON seriously doubted it. Shane mentioned the right thing, but obviously didn’t really believe it as he cried and did nothing to stop it. I mean if they believed all that, and this week Dan is back in the quak pack, he honestly deserves to win.
Your last “Dan is an @sshole” that you couldn’t remember why is probably when he talked about how he screwed the quack pack over last week, got Brit voted out, Ian’s best pal, and now he’s part of the quack pack again and how his rise from the dead was now complete. I’d say that sentiment makes sense to think here.
Ian is blaming Frank and not Dan for hurting his game (removing Brittney) becaus he is blidnded by his super-fan desire of wanting to be known for something in BB History. Specifically he wants to be known as the mastermind and founder of the QP. Seriously, on the live feeds he has made comments to himself and to others acting as if he was the one who came up with the group and pulled them together to work as one.
In reality we know that isn’t the case. It was Britney/Shane and Dan/Danielle realizing they needed to work together since Boogie/Janelle hadn’t lost anybody and Ian happend to walk in their lap as they were hammering out a final 4. It was Dan and Britney’s idea and Ian only supplied the name which he must have had prepared ebfore coming on the show since I’ve never seen someone jump so fast to name a group or even to want to name a group in BB.
He foolishly believes the QP is his legacy and he so desperately wants it to succeed that he is completely overlooking Dan’s hand in the last eviction.
Well Scott, slightly hammered or not, ya nailed it.
I wish putting back some vodka before I watch the show would help the entertainment value, but I know that watching or listening to Joe for more than 5 seconds would bring out the heaves.
How sad is it that the only thing that makes this show more interesting for those paying for the live feeds is 2 guys (that leave a lot to be desired physically) constantly gratifying themselves–uh oh–here come the heaves…
Couldnt agree more about Dan being a floater. Hasnt won squat, his entire social game consists of being seen reading the bible and the best luck in the world to get stuck in a house with the vapid and clueless. Can you imagine if Dan tried to get himself off the block trying to sell that story to Boogie instead of Frank. Boogie would have been in the DR seconds after Dan left him, make a pretend call to Dr Wil about the convo he just had with this dumba$$, and proceed to laugh himself into a seizure.
I do miss Brit and her DR sessions. She had some great lines and zingers that broke up the monotony. Maybe I will start pounding back the vodka before shows–and just keep the garbage can handy
Dozenz that makes perfect sense. I now totally get why Ian still wants to hang on to QP. Dumb, but I get it.
Dan’s a first-rate a$$hole, but that’s okay because he knows it and has used it to an enormous advantage. I can handle that.
Ian’s pathetic (and he doesn’t know it), and I’m now agreeing with Scott that Ian falls somewhere along the autistic spectrum. It’s the rocking. And rocking. And rocking. And rocking. I can handle that, too.
Joe isn’t in the game to win; he’s in the game to get a show on the Food Network. Good luck with that, Joe. Especially when everyone knows you don’t wash your hands after using the bathroom, or after picking zits on your back, or after picking at your face, or after stroking that weird thing hanging under your bottom lip – UG! But I can handle that.
Jenn thinks she’s a player (too little, too late) and talks about how “mature” she is. Too bad she acts like a 20-yr-old rocker “wannabe” rather than the 37-yr-old “never-was” she really is. But I can handle that.
Shane started off physically strong but has lost his edge. Also, he’s clueless. And his hot-and-cold “showmance” with Danielle is simply embarrassing. But I can handle that.
Frank was a shoe-in to win until he decided to trust Dan. Frank, Frank, Frank. Boogie is crying copious tears of anger and frustration into his beer! But, yes, I can even handle that.
The one person I can NOT handle is Danielle! STFU you stupid little twit! Stop slobbering all over Shane – you look and sound like a 10-yr-old swooning over Justin Bieber! Get your freaking lies straight: Are you a nurse? A charge nurse? An Emergency Room nurse? A physician’s assistant? A med-school student (highly unlikely)? Or are you just a whiny little airhead who still thinks her “worth” is somehow all wrapped up in her former-beauty-queen persona? That’s why I HATE “Toddlers & Tiaras” – Danielle said that her parents and (much older) siblings put her in beauty pageants when she was just a baby.
To Danielle’s family: What were you thinking?! You’ve created a perpetually immature, extremely needy crybaby who can’t stop talking about how she looks, constantly harping about what other people (whether houseguests or audience members) are thinking about her butt, her body, her skin, her weight …. Aughhhhhhh! (<— See Lucy, from Peanuts). I can't take it anymore!
Phew! That feels better.
And all I had was a single glass of wine!
Still loving your recaps, Scott! Now, drink lots and lots of water, take a couple of aspirin, and go to bed.
I don’t want to argue with you but wasn’t Boogie a floater on your terms. Never winning anything? I don’t think you have to win comps to be a strong player. Boogie didn’t, and Dan chooses not to. Well that’s what he says, who knows if he would actually win or not. I don’t really like Dan all that much but how he saved himself was brilliant. You might not see it that way, but he is still in the house and other “strong” players aren’t. I think what pulls Dan apart is he tells he strategy in the DR and others have no clue, Jenn is the ultimate floater. At least Joe had to fight for his life earlier in the game because he was such a huge target! Love your recaps, keep up the good work!
Have you seen the video of Danielle acting completely bat sh*t crazy staring at herself in the mirror making faces?
