Julie drops the A-bomb that it’s a double eviction night and nobody in that house even blinks an eye. Either they had it figured out or production dropped the dime again. I think that everyone in this house is just not too excited to be playing anymore so they didn’t truly care.
Boogie ends up getting the boot. As Daniele would have said — SHOCKER!!! I can appreciate how he went out telling Frank that Ian can’t be trusted and then later finding out that Ian told Boogie “get to steppin.” Wow, this motherf*cker really is Keyser Soze. I know I said that already, but I’m really starting to believe it now. I still think he was WAY off thinking he was the “mastermind” behind Boogie going home this week. All he really did was tell Britney what Boogie said, and Britney took it from there. It’s not like any plan was truly mastermind-ed. You just told Britney what he sorta said, she told Shane they need to go home, Shane nominated them, end of story. That’s not really a plan. It’s not like you devised some masterful getaway bank robbery scene or something. You told one person what another person said and that person told another person, who happened to be HOH, and the rest is history. Let’s not go overboard by calling ourselves a mastermind, my autistic friend. Although, now that Boogie is gone, I do think I’d prefer Ian to win over anyone else. I like Britney a little, but her winning would be like that chick who won over Russell in Survivor. I do like Frank, but only because he’s the underdog now, and him pulling out the win would be Evel Dick-esque and I’d have to show nothing but appreciation for that. Shane is probably most deserving, physically, but his mental/social game is lacking a major cog. And, we all know how I feel about Dan. As for the rest of the house, they don’t even matter this season.
After the vote, we were treated to the second funniest moment in Big Brother history (the first is still Mike and Will’s first phone conversation on All-Stars. I didn’t watch season 2 so I don’t know if they did it then or not). Seriously, tjough, Britney’s good-bye message to Mike Boogie was perfect! “Sorry Janelle, Mike Boogie isn’t here right now, I was actually just leaving him a message…” Before the season, I barely liked Britney, but now I may be full-fledged in love! I may have to start stalking her. Also, kudos to Mike for changing his demeanor and laughing along with everyone else, even though we all know it was killing him to be sitting next to Julie Chen! We will miss you, Boogie.
I fast-forwarded through the HOH, saw that Ian won, and then stopped when they came back from commercial to see Ian pulling the Keyser on Joe, talking normal, in a deeper voice, not swaying side to side, and ripping Joe’s soul out of his chest right before he opens the door. Then, he goes and nominates Frank and Ashley. Game-changing nominations there. Get the guy that everyone wants out and that nobody is teamed with or the girl nobody even takes seriously, who is hopped up on cocaine half the time inside the house. They are giving her cocaine for her back pain, right?
We quickly head back outside for the clown shoe competition!! I still cringe at the site of this competition. Jeff, another one of my favorites, lost his last season because of that stupid clown shoe on the side of his lane! During the competition, we could hear Dan and Britney yelling at Shane that his shamrock had fallen out of his ballpit, onto the side of his lane, and I’m not sure if I appreciate help from the peanut gallery! For my liking, I don’t think that is fair and should have disqualified Shane, but we’re talking Big Brother here, where they don’t care if people cheat, as long as people keep forking over the money for the live feeds!!
Anyway, was there any doubt Frank was winning that competition? Ian gave us all a scare when he found his shamrock first, but Frank pulled it out in the end, just barely over Shane (and his band of helpers).
Keyser tells Joe to “pop a squat” after Frank uses the Veto on himself. I think we’re going to see a new side of Ian from here on out. He really thinks he’s running the show now that Boogie is gone. And, who knows, maybe he is. Maybe production is telling him how they’ve got his back and how they’re telling Dan, Shane, and Britney to shut their damn mouths about him telling them what Boogie said, and he’s starting to feel the momentum that’s going to carry him to $500,000. I mean, the guy was drinking (probably water) out of a coffee cup while he was throwing Joe into the fire pits of Hell. This motherf*cker really is Keyser Soze. Ok, last time, I promise.
I loved how the crowd laughed at Ashley when she said she wasn’t really articulate. At least she knows that, right? Knowing is half the battle, or so they say. I’m sure hearing the crowd laugh did wonders for her confidence. I’m also sure the word “articulate” will be in the title of her next porn release.
As for Joe, I think the guy is starting to grow on me. That “speech” was epic. Too funny, Juggles. Much too funny. In all honesty, it’s a speech like that which might sway my vote last second, just for giggles.
And, I was sure they were going to just vote Joe out because what is the point of voting Ashley out? But, as always, I never know what these people are thinking. I know that neither of them are worth much in this game, but Ashley is at the very bottom of the totem pole, no matter who she might be teaming up with or not. She doesn’t even know what is going on in the house. Joe is SLIGHTLY more dangerous than she is, so at this point of the game, you always just go with whoever is more dangerous. But, I guess they felt they no longer had her vote and that she was going to side with Frank from here on out, so I can live with their decision.
So, who will win HOH next? Will Frank continue his rags-to-riches style run in the house and win HOH? If not, he’s most likely going home. And, most likely, it will be by backdoor, so let’s prepare ourselves for a pretty boring week of Big Brother. I’m guessing Shane wins HOH again, nominates Jenn and Juggles, Shane also wins Veto, uses it on Joe, nominates Frank in his place, and Frank is swept out of the house with nary a vote to his name. Enjoy spending time with Ashley in the Jury House, Frankie.
Until next week,

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!
