Well, I broke down and signed up for the free trial, and now I find myself dipping into the feed whenever I get a chance. I feel guilty for enjoying such base entertainment but it’s too late for me now. I’m hooked, but there’s still time for you, close this thread now and read a GD about the supreme court nominess or something brainy like that.
Still here? Welcome to the bottom rung my friends. So, here’s the dirt; my take on the BB house inhabitants. Before watching the feeds I used to dislike some of these people, now I mostly pity them. Most of these people are damaged in one way or another.
April curses a lot. I mean every other word is motherfucker or son of a bitch. It reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where George meets foul-mouthed representatives of the Texas Rangers. Other than the potty mouth she has the perfect personality for a Drug rep because she is natural ass kisser and she doesn’t shut the hell up, ever. The thing about her ass kissing is that she doesn’t seem to do it for devious or manipulative reasons. She is just so insecure emotionally and intellectually that she needs another person to cling onto and cede power to. She does seem to be a nice enough person though despite her flaws. Also, it’s possible some of her behavior can be chalked up to nicotine deprivation. Ivette summed her up best by calling her a ‘lemon,’ she looks great at the outset but with time you start to see all is not well.
Howie, is either the most sex crazed person I’ve ever seen, or he’s putting on one hell of an act. I think he has a peter pan complex as well. He still talks and acts like a 21-year-old frat boy. Every third word is bro or boobie. His other love is star wars. It’s a daily topic of conversation. Also, there has been some concern about his hygene and various bodily emissions. He played a practical joke on James by using his shaver on his ass and then watching James use it to shave his face. Not sure if that one crosses a line, but Howie is definitely the funniest person in the house. He has really changed since winning HOH, he fucked up badly by making too many deals too fast and without talking with Rachel who is the brains in their outfit, and now he’s stressed.
James is the snake of the house, and thinks he’s much smarter than he is. Or maybe the lisp just makes him sound dumber. Some of his game decisions haven’t been great though. He moved from alliance to alliance and now no one trusts him. He is the most likely to cause trouble, to stoke tensions, and outright lie. I don’t even think he’s always doing it for strategic purposes like he tells himself he is; I think he is just a douchebag and can’t help but fuck with people. Also, I don’t think he’s quite as into his girlfriend as she is him. He doesn’t appear to mind in the least when Howie describes in explicit detail how badly he’d like to bang her. They have short but heated lovers quarrels now and again, where they call each fuck face and whore respectively. James is quite the competitor though in competitions and shameless and relentless, all qualities advantageous in a zero sum game.
Sara is dumber than a pile of bricks. Seriously, she’s really, really dumb. In the right light she’s also very pretty, and has a killer bod. But damn is that girl stupid and gullible. And annoying. Every move she makes is so predictable and transparent that its all the other houseguests can do to stop from cringing when she speaks. I don’t really know what else to say about her; she once said James is her whole world and I think that’s about right.
Janelle’s dumb blond act didn’t fool anyone for long. Unlike sara, she holds her own with the non-dumbasses of the house. Mostly, she stays low profile and hangs with Rachel and Howie. The one thing about her that really puts people off is when she talks about how much money her things cost, and that even though she really likes Michael she doesn’t like the that he’s an artist and not an investment banker. Gold digger much. The other woman in the house think she’s stuck up and fake because she dies her hair, has extensions and a boob job. Personally, I think there’s just a hair of catty jealousy there. Sure she’s stuck up and fake, but they would care so much if she didn’t pull it off as well as she does.
Beau cares about clothes and appearance a great deal. But, he is a gay, personal shopper so I guess that makes sense. He can be a little bitchy, not letting James borrow his bible was petty. Other than that and his alliance with the self righteous “friendship” he seems like an okay person. He speaks less than just about anyone in the house, which is a big bonus in my book.
Jen, is trying to fly under the radar. But everyone knows she is a smart player who keeps her cards close to her vest. While, Jen may be a good player in this game I don’t think she’s quite as insightful in the real world. The only thing she reveals about herself is that her boyfriend of 7 years still wont propose to her, despite her constant nagging. Yeah, I’m thinking time to move on babe.
Ivette can be moody and self-centered. Plus, she cried real tears because Eric, a guy who she knew for all of two weeks on a bloody game show got kicked out. Personally, I thought Eric was nuts; he really thought he was captain of the big brother house. It was both weird and sad. The fact that Ivette would stand in traffic at his say so says something about her. Once in a while Ivette gets very deep, and even a little wise, particularly when giving advice to Jen about relationships, but even then she cant help but keep the topic focused on herself. She also says, “do you know what I mean” every few seconds, which gets annoying.
Maggie has picked up right where Eric left off. She went from low profile to the new smug lord of the flock in no time at all. She provides game instructions to her disciples for almost every thing they do from game strategy right down to their bedtimes. And they all used to sleep in the same bed together. That’s just odd. I’d like to see her kicked off just to see how the ‘friendship’ splinters without her. She is the toughest player because she is as morally unbounded as James, but unlike him she thinks she is always doing the ethical thing, and gets everyone else to believe that too. Howie is a fool for not taking her down. She talked him into taking on James for her and like an idiot he did it.
Rachel, looks a little frayed from the game, but I hope she wins it all in the end. Her life sounds a little lonely out in the real world, and she’s somewhat anal and uptight. But, she’s a smart player and definitely the most normal person in the house.
Kaysar, was the smartest person in the house, there’s little question about that. He was also probably the most rational. He didn’t raise his voice much, and didn’t get emotional when he was targeted. If he had been a little more covert about backdooring Eric and had restrained from revealing his whole plan he might still have a chance. Looks like ego is what got him in this game. If he gets brought back I’m rooting for him to take the big prize.
