It’s been hard getting into the new contestants because I feel like they show mostly the old people since that’s who people want to watch since they already know them. Rachel drives me absolutely nuts. Her laugh makes me die inside. I really do like Jeff & Jordan, and don’t mind a couple of the newbies. Though that metal guy’s schtick is starting to wear thin. ---

I just wish one of the veterans would say, on camera with the editors leaving it in, “boy, we really over-reacted when Dick left. We have control of the house now, but you know, anything can happen. It’s still early in the season.” Freakin’ morons. ---

Heh…Rachel needs to look up the word “disingenuous”. The vets have been cloistered in the HoH room all week, but she still feels the need to say “There are sides?”. Seriously? Do you really think everyone but you is stupid? ---

Do you really think everyone but you is stupid? I love how all the new people single filed into the HOH room and told J & J that they had seen the light, and they wanted to be part of the veteran’s alliance. I could almost see their fingers crossed as they spoke. “Sure, I’ll vote however you tell me to from now until you evict me.” ---

God, I hate Rachel. Brendon is really the mature adult in that relationship. Read that last sentence again, and shudder. ---

Yes, Rachel is either insane or just incredibly spoiled/immature. Yet she has to get credit for her competition skills (last night excepted.) I’m having a tough time deciding who’s hotter/cuter this season: Jordan, Porsche or Cassie. Cassie is a little exotic looking for my taste. ---

Dumb Rachel. Dumb Rachel. Dumb Rachel. All you have to do is lose the \*chew gum and walk challenge \* and you’ll win. Let Nick do all the work, and he’s off the block and Cassie takes the bus tonight, which is what you want, remember? Instead, you pitch a fit, get slop for two weeks, piss off your alliance, and Nick wins anyway. Oh, and spending 10 minutes crying in the bushes was a jaw dropping moment for the rest of players - the target on your back is now visible from space. . Way to think through a problem girl. ---

Damn those editors! Give us ten minutes of hope that J & J would backdoor that whiny bitch, and then yank the rug away. Dirty pool! ---

I keep trying to figure out how either one of Brenchel managed to get through a four-year undergrad program AND a graduate program without melting into a pile of tears and resentment twice a day. Can you imagine Rachel trying to defend a thesis? Can you imagine Rachel getting through a single meeting with a faculty advisor? ---

If the roles were reversed, you just _know_ that Rachel would have insisted that J&J go up for their insolence. As my wife said last night, “Is Rachel 5? She should just go eat worms.” ---

> [@CapnPitt](#): > > If the roles were reversed, you just _know_ that Rachel would have insisted that J&J go up for their insolence. Jordan and Rachel talked, and I hope it’s on tonght’s show:It went on for like a half hour, with Jordan hammering home the point – in her endearingly cute manner of communicating – how and why people think Rachel is bitchy, how Rachel needs to watch her mouth because her mouth will get her in trouble, and how if Rachel had acted that way toward anybody else she and Brendon would probably be backdoored this week. It was awesome, and those are very close to verbatim. Jordan must have called her a bitch (“When you say things like that, it comes across as bitchy. Not that you’re a bitch.” Ha!) like 100 times. Greatest BBAD ever. > [@Southern\_Yankee](#): > > I’m having a tough time deciding who’s hotter/cuter this season: Jordan, Porsche or Cassie. Cassie is a little exotic looking for my taste. Cassie is legitimately hot, Jordan is as cute as cute gets, while Porsche is spending most of every BBAD in the most unflattering sweat-suit thing she could possibly wear. She cleans up alright, but oofa, all I see is a dumpy frumpy mess. Though IMO Cassi is by far the hottest, she really needs to bathe more often. Sure she’s been a have-not the entire season, and cold showers do suck, but she’s starting to approach BB11 Natalie levels of gross hygiene. ---

So lets see if understand the nomination and veto scenario. With all the golden key holders, Rachel only has three choices to nominate. 1. Jordan/Jeff, 2. Dom/Adam 3. Kalia/Lawon. Assuming she is going to nominate #3, what happens if Dom/Adam win the veto and take Kalia/Lawon off the block. I guess that mean Rachel will be forced to put up Jeff/Jordan. ---

Annnnnd there’s the Rachel from last season. Bitchy, mean, whiny… and then running off to cry in hysterics if anyone dares to talk back to her. Why oh why did the editors not mute the audio of Rachel taking a piss after the vote. I \*really \*did not need to hear that. ---

I pointed this out to my wife last night - if you use your hands to cover up rachel’s hair, she kind of looks like Paul Ruebens (Pee Wee Herman). We cracked up every time she was on screen last night. 🙂 ---

So I missed last night ☹ I take it Cassie took the bus and Rachel won HOH? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/big-brother-13-season-discussion-thread/588261.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/big-brother-13-season-discussion-thread/588261.md?page=5)
