Boogie talks to Dan about the move that was made and Dan also admits that he doesn’t want to out Ian as the mole! Am I missing something here? I guess CBS and the Big Brother producers want to make Ian out as the next best thing of Big Brother and are in everyone’s ear about not outing him as the mole, because people have done plenty of this all season long, yet now they want to keep quiet about Ian? And, seriously, what did Ian even do that was all that major? He just said one thing to Britney and that was it. It’s not like he’s giving them the secret recipe to KFC chicken or Pepsi! He said that Boogie made it seem like he’d be targeting Shane or Britney if he won HOH (which isn’t even what Boogie was doing in that conversation, but still – geez, see how easy it really is to win Big Brother if you have the smarts – tell a few lies and you’re golden because these people believe ANYTHING they hear, except what they hear from the source itself)!! Boogie ends up going up to the HOH and talks to Frank, Dan, Shane, and Britney, and everyone in the room stays silent about where they heard the information from and who originally came up with the idea. After Froogie leaves thinking that it was Dan who said it, and Dan not even defending himself, Dan even asks Britney if it’s worth not giving up Ian at this point. See…it has to be production telling them not to, because even if they thought about it for a split second, you would have to imagine that they actually do want to! They know, deep down, it’s the right thing to do, because in all honesty, why not do it? Why paint a bigger target on yourself to save another person from looking bad? It’s not even like if they told Froogie it was Ian that he’d be going home this week. One of Froogie is going home, for sure, so what is the difference about giving up Ian? This motherf*cker really is Keyser Soze. He has to be. Either that or he gives good head.
We move on to the Veto Competition, where Twitter was blowing up about a possible cheating scandal. Apparently, both Boogie and Frank cheated when they pulled a name out of the bag (another reason why I don’t get why they use a bag – seriously, CBS is too cheap to have a wheel drum or to use one of those bowls with the suction tops so nobody can see beforehand). Apparently, Frank saw Dan’s name on the chip he had in his hand and pulled out another one. I guess Boogie did the same thing. I’m also guessing that is why CBS showed a close-up of each of their hands going into the bag. For me, I don’t really care. Even if Dan’s name was chosen, that d!cklicker wasn’t going to win anything anyway. And, the reason I know that is because according to Ashley, “this is my competition.” The reason it’s her competition is because she’s using the picture method. She pictures a picture inside a picture, counts to 10, sees another picture inside two other pictures, counts back down from 7, puts that number into a puzzle piece that lays just outside a picture, then adds 7 to 4, subtracts 8 from the picture inside the second picture that was originally inside the first picture, adds 14 to that number, and then comes to her answer, which has nothing to do with a picture at all. She has this in the bag.
Hands down, funniest moment of the night went to Jenn’s guess on the first question and Boogie’s response!! Loved him pointing in her direction! Yes, it’s a dick move, but when someone makes THAT ridiculous of a guess, someone has to call them out on it to the rest of America, right?
In the end, Ashley’s picture method, Jenn’s erratic guessing, and Boogie’s laughter don’t matter because Frank wins. And, it’s at this moment where we know Boogie’s fate is sealed. Bye Boogie. It’s been fun watching you again, I wish that damn reset button was never hit because you would have won this thing as a coach, with ease!! CBS should award you $100,000 because the rest of the coaches suck!!
I think the only other scene worth talking about was the one where Boogie was talking about how Dan won his season, basically, by doing nothing. Which is what he’s doing again this season. Seriously, all the talk about how great Dan is just ticks me off to no end. The kid is an ultimate floater and the only reason he’s not seen as one is because he’s an athletic-looking male. If he was a woman, everyone in America would be talking about how he’s such a floater, never wins anything, always stands pat in the background, comes up with an idea here and there but never does much about it, etc, etc, etc. One day, I’m going to need someone to explain to me what he has actually done to deserve winning this game twice. Because he IS going to win this season of Big Brother. I know CBS REALLY wants Ian to win, but it’s going to be Dan. Unless, in that final HOH competition, CBS throws a real mountain lion into the backyard while Dan is competing, he’s going to beat Ian and take Jenn/Joe/Danielle to the final two with him.
I did appreciate Ian’s “life father, like son” comment. At least he is going to give Boogie his deserved props.
Does anyone care that Jenn was named the replacement nominee? No. Good, let’s just get on with the live DOUBLE eviction, shall we?!?
That’s gotta be the funniest goodbye video we’ve ever seen. Hilarious! Good job Britney entertaining us at home. And even Ian’s message and confession, just to be able to see boogies reaction. I will miss Boogie to because he made things entertaining.
I think the reason why Dan doesn’t seem like a floater is because his intent isn’t to play as a floater. I think the definition of a floater is to never really do anything – no strategic game, no significant social game, no comps. No substance. Thing is that Dan is choosing and strategizing the whole time – constantly thinking about who to talk to, how to talk to them, when to pull, when to push, and if you remember towards the end to his game he won lots of competitions. And I guess the audience is behind him because he tells us everything in the diary room of what he’s doing, and then he does it, and comes across as truthful in the diary room – like a real diary session. So while externally he may look like a floater, he really doesn’t seem like one – b/c real floaters only have a reaction or try to strategize when it’s way too late, like Ashely, Jenn etc.
I’m not sure of Ian either – I kept saying “he IS kaiser soze” a few times too! He’s doing just enough so he doesn’t seem as if he’s floating, but maybe not enough to believe he’s a mastermind yet, but he seems to have potential, and believes he is one – when others say it, it just seems ridiculous, but for some reason when he says it, it feels like it could be true. Maybe it’s because he’s a little nutty. How is what he said to Brit about boogie wanting to vote them out any different than the serendipitous conversation boogie had with Danielle et. al. about getting Janelle out? I guess we’ll have to see what he does when if Frank gets any power he will go after Ian, what he’ll do then.
I was surprised that they voted off Ashley before Joe. That just seems kinda dumb, but I guess it’s fine because Juggles isn’t gonna win this game anyway.
Since I am Team Janelle, I am not a fan of Boogie/Frank, so I was glad to see him walk out the front door. Although I would prefer Frank, since this guy seriously never leaves and has 9 lives.
My stomach kinda turned seeing that POV comp. Jeff is one of my favorites to never win this game and I hated that that clown shoe did that to him! 🙂 I think they need to have a season where Jeff and Janelle are on together; plus bring back some Howie, Kaysar, and throw in some Britney just because she is funny. Plus Rachel because she cracks me up. I don’t care what anyone says, when she fell running…that was so great 🙂
Anyway, I really don’t think Dan has a chance to win this game. I get to spend a lot of time talking BB with you since we’re related and all, and usually agree with you, but he will not win. I just don’t think if he makes it to the final 2 anyone will vote for him. I DO agree with you in the fact that he does NOTHING. Like you said, he gets “lucky” (aligning with the right people, etc.) I don’t hate Dan the way you do, but I just want to see him make a big move one of these days, but that will never happen because he “throws” comps (or so he says-he really just can’t win them).
I think Shane, Britney, and Ian have a good chance at winning this game. Only time will tell.
I have to admit that I was NOT sad to see Boogie go. The vile things he said on Big Brother After Dark (about other contestants and about what he was “going to say” on his way out the door) really ticked me off.
Boogie said that although he will watch the “last couple of weeks” of this BB season (just prior to his eviction), he wasn’t going to watch the whole show, nor was he going to go on the internet, because the stuff people post about him is just nasty. Well, duh, a**hole!
Let’s see – what kind of venom did he spew during his last week on the show? Oh yeah, …
* Joe is a terrible cook (Boogie said he’d actually say this to Chenbot in his “exit interview” on live TV – I’m thinking BB Production put the kibosh on that);
* Danielle has a big ass, and as soon as she hits her 30’s she’s going to balloon up to Michelin-man size;
* Ashley and Jenn are also going to become obese, but probably not Britney because she’s so tiny and barely eats;
* Ashley and Britney are so stupid that it pains Boogie;
* Dan is an a**hole and is running the whole house – and everyone else is too stupid to realize it;
* Shane is Dan’s bitch and barely has a brain cell;
* Ian may be book-smart, but otherwise he’s as dumb as a bag of hammers.
Boogie said that when he got evicted, he’d tell the house guests to just keep their seats EXCEPT for Frank, Ashley and Ian, who were the only people he would “accept” walking him to the door, and that he’d instruct everyone to NOT stand in front of his picture and watch it go grey. (I’m guessing BB Production had some words for him about that, too.)
As for the “Shamrock” HOH competition, I am cynical enough to believe that Big Brother probably placed 15 or 20 of the damn things in Frank’s pit-of-balls to guarantee another HOH win for Frank.
Look … they let Boogie & Frank get away with cheating in the POV draw and they gave Frank a free pass when it was certain he’d be out-the-door by invoking the “America says they want the coaches in the game” conceit.
I swear, if they find a way to bring Boogie back into the game, I will stop watching this season and will boycott the franchise from now on.
Am I pi**ed? Well, perhaps just a little.
Hi Scott,
Let’s just say that if I were cast as a Big Brother houseguest with you, you and I would totally be aligned. I’m telling you this because I 100% agree with EVERYTHING you said about Boogie, Frank, Shane, Ian, and not caring about Jenn being on the block. But one question, which none of us really has the answer –> What was she so angry about?! Ha!
With Boogie being gone, I felt like a piece of myself left from that house. He didn’t win much this season, but his personality, player mentality, and social game had it all going on. I didn’t watch his season, but to me – this season, he was THE man and will truly be missed. Who else would make me laugh by breaking a water basketball hoop??
Frank is my golden boy in this whole thing – he amazes me with all his wins. Has he broken a Big Brother record, yet? He deserves to be there in the end, and if not, he deserves viewers favorite houseguest award.
Let’s not discuss Ian – he pisses me off, and continues to do so with everything that comes out of his mouth.
Shane is glued to Britney’s hoo-ha, and it’s not cute. He’s the real puppet in this game. Oh yeah…..Britney? Are you really starting to like her? I want her out – we might disagree on that little tidbit. I just see her as all talk in this whole thing. She doesn’t do anything, but get in Shane and Ian’s ear. As I’m writing, I’m realizing since she doesn’t do anything, then maybe that is her strategy. Still, she needs to go – as she might be the actual masterminder that Ian says he is. Hmmm.
And last but not least, this veto competition made me CRINGE too because of JEFF! When I seen it, I had a feeling in the pit of my stomach, because all I could think about was when my favorite player last season, Jeff, had lost here. Then I thought the same would happen to my favorite player this season, which is my golden boy….Frank.
Thanks for a great re-cap/blog and all your input that I couldn’t agree with more! Can’t wait for the next one!
Good luck with the job search!
