After the ending of the last episode, the idea was put in our mind that Shelli may switch up her strategy and instead of going after James, Jason or Meg, she may just put the house out of its misery and put Audrey up for eviction if anyone was to win Veto and take themselves off the block. And with how they end episodes, they start them off the same and Shelli reminds us that she’s thinking about changing her mind about who to get out. Is this foreshadowing or Big Brother just trying to throw in some additional drama when none actually exists. Of course, if you watched the episode, you already know, but in case you didn’t, read on and we’ll find out together…
With Shelli changing her mind, we get Liz (who was just dethroned) telling us that she still feels safe this week since Shelli is in her alliance with her and “one of the select few” that know about her being a twin and her twin playing the game with her. I think by “select few,” Liz meant EVERYBODY! Sure, everyone doesn’t “truly” know it’s 100% real, but for all intent and purposes, everyone knows. Vanessa doesn’t strike me as someone who’s kept her mouth shut, so you know she told all kinds of people in that house.
Quick tirade here about social media – is there really a reason to hashtag the “fight, win, live” comment by Johnny? Don’t prompt me to tweet something out using #FightWinLive because really what am I even going to say?!? Sometimes (well, most of the time), I really don’t get the purpose of social media. Do people really go on Twitter and search the #FightWinLive and respond to other people who sent out a tweet when that showed up on the screen? Doesn’t that take away from the purpose of social media in a way? Aren’t we supposed to be the ones that come up with the funny hashtags and whatnot and to send them out for everyone else to see. Isn’t it less fun/cool if someone tells us to do it and we go out and do it with thousands of others? But whatever, to me that just seemed like a stupid one to hashtag, so that’s why I bring it up. When they hashtag the comp names and stuff, I get it, but that one just didn’t make any sense to me. I guarantee someone at CBS came up with that one and told him to say that because that doesn’t sound one bit like anything anybody would say.
Sorry about that, but I had to digress for a bit there…
If there’s one thing to be sad about with Shelli possibly changing her mind and sending Audrey out that door, it’s that we’re going to miss these bouts of crazy this b!tch comes out with!! If you ever watch the live feeds or even the episodes, you typically only see Audrey ever sleeping or hiding away with a blanket covering her face, most likely eavesdropping on other houseguests. So, the fact that they have so much footage of her being nuts-ola makes you realize that just about every time she opens her mouth in that house, she’s spitting out something crazy.
Simply said, for JC’s sake, Ms. Chen is an abject fool.
I keep looking at her knees to see if there are thick callouses on them. Mon dieu, if she were asked to add two numbers her 5″ eyelashes might fly off her face. Every show she pulls a boner, sometimes so big the editors can’t even protect her.
Lastly, I love your nom de ether for Dentist John. Bobcat so fitting. I noticed that even Crazy Audrey recoiled at the sounds coming from his oral cavity. The producers should offer us a warning before the pain of his sound attacks.
I envision Vanessa convincing Jackie that 2 weak people are the biggest threats so that Vanessa’s nominees kill them in BoB and Jackie has a quick end as HoH. Not exactly the 2 enemies as HoH I have been hoping for all season. Then again, I’m not sure the house is divided like that as it has been in the past.
I really really wanted to like Audrey as a BB game player. I really really did. At the beginning I did a lot, but as we all know things kinda went off kilter. I was thinking about it, and I think theoretically, she knew the game. When she spoke in DR and to Julie and at times to others she spoke with such clarity, brilliance about the game and what was going on in the house. Truly, she clearly picked up on the weaknesses and strengths of people so well, she saw these people, saw through them, and as we also know, having that kind of observational talent is crucial to lasting long. But alas, as many before her that also have these talents, the problem was what to do with that information. The practical playing of the game. It’s almost like the ‘book smart’ type player, who has studied the game, watched all the seasons, considers themselves a superfan – is theoretically knowledgeable about the game. However it doesn’t translate to knowing how you’ll play, or how you’ll be in the house. She really did have the skill set to go far – maybe it was just all too much.
I think then, for future bb players to take note, the current definition of ‘superfan’ is not sufficient. To say you are a superfan as prep for the game has continually not translated into good gameplay, for the most part. I think if you are a real superfan of bb and will be going on, you will practice by simulating conditions similar to what you will be going into. Like that older lady that went on survivor and built her own sauna and spent hours in it preparing herself for the heat likely to be where the game is played. So future contestants need to start simulating game play – grab some random people, lock yourselves in a house for a week, no tv, books, music, etc., play some games, eat some food, battle for HOH, vote – and analyze how it all went down for you. THAT is now what I would consider a superfan of bb. I think even if a person locked themselves in a house for a week with none of what they can’t have – tv, phone, internet, etc. – would be a learning/prep experience. How many people could even do that?
Just as the “conventional wisdom” on Bachelor seems to be that the white lead will not eliminate all people of color until the third or fourth episode, I wonder if the contestants really wanted to avoid being the one to nominate the first transgender contestant – especially after the fallout of the racist season. I think they all came to the strategy of making sure they were recorded as saying “I love her as a person and her courage but in here, that bitch is crazy!”
