[QUOTE=twickster] I did like the peeks into the jury house last night. Heh. Matty and Chesia and Joshuah. Heh. [/QUOTE] Yeah, I’m kind of glad that all that “I’m going to sleep with your MATTY in Jury House!” from Chelsia was all just poking at Natalie. Not that Matt would’ve minded if she did, apparently…Horndog had her in the house all of about a minute before the come-ons started. (Not that I think the entrances they show are the actual entrances…I’m fairly certain they block and stage it all for filming later.) ---

What would Jesus do, Natalie? Well, for one thing, he wouldn’t go on Big Brother. So you’re about 2 months too late to actually emulate your professed savior. Sharon’s got the right of Natalie…the girl talks religion like she only discovered the existence of a Bible after she’d been in the BB house for a month. She apparently has no real idea what constitutes actual Christian theology or philosophy, preferring window-sign platitudes to actually thinking things through from a Christian perspective. Natalie is the worst kind of pseudo-Christian, the kind who filters Jesus through their own unaltered worldview instead of filtering that worldview through Jesus. ---

[/QUOTE] Wow, that is very true. Hope Sheila’s plan works – she’s the last of the people I really can’t stand left in the house. Who’da thunk Sheila and Adam would make it this far? ---

IANAC; in fact, I’ve gotten into the habit over the past few seasons of rooting against “born-agains” in the house. That being said, I respect Sharon a heckuva lot more than “Team OhChrist!” and would rather see her win than those wannabes. At least she’s sincere about her beliefs. Either Adam or Sharon has to win POV tonight. If they don’t get Natalie out of the house now, she’ll be there to the end. And the answer to your “WWJD” question, Nattie? He’d vote to evict your lying, hypocritical ass! ---

[QUOTE=Hampshire] Y’know who Natalie reminds me of? One of Cheri Oteri’s deranged characters from SNL. [/QUOTE] Oh, wow, you’re right! Sort of a cross between her crazy alcoholic and the co-host of _Morning Latte_ ! I loved the POV competition with the houseguests’ heads on Evel Dick’s body. Of course, ED is my favorite houseguest of all time (along with Chilltown), so I’m kinda biased. And now that Sheila has revealed that her ideal man would be a cross between ED and Dr. Will, I’m officially pulling for her to win it all! ---

BULLSHIT! [spoiler]Well, obviously Ryan’s going to win the whole thing. I can see from that bullshit answer to that last HOH question that Ryan is the producers’ pick to win, so there’s probably going to be blatant manipulation with the jury. That question was bullshit. Who thinks about the fucking pets when the questions are supposed to be about the houseguests? The producers didn’t want Sharon to win. Period. [/spoiler] I may be done with this stupid show. ---

Wasn’t the episode live? If so, I find it hard to believe your allegations. They’d have to manipulate the answer on the fly and also change the graphic on the screen. ---

I’m confused. How does the stupid question relate to the producers manipulating things so Ryan will win? ---

[QUOTE=twickster] I wasn’t paying 100% attention: what was the tiebreaker question? [/QUOTE] How long the four houseguests stayed in the glass boxes for this past HoH competition. I wasn’t paying a lot of attention to the question itself since I was cursing a blue cloud over the stupid goddamn guinea pig bullshit, so I’m not clear whether they specified that the answer was to be cumulative or concurrent. Sharon’s answer was approximately correct for concurrent time (about 3 hours), but Ryan’s was over that but under cumulative time (500-some minutes). If you listen to the live feeds (or read transcripts), there’s a LOT of Diary Room manipulation going on. They pressure houseguests to vote certain ways, they pressure heads of household to nominate certain people, they kind of manipulate houseguests’ perceptions of certain events or incidents by asking leading questions to elicit certain reactions so they have good footage. They reshoot some competitions, which they never tell you about. There’s some speculation that there was some Diary Room dealmaking to get a split vote last night. Don’t know if that involved the granting of the HoH or not… It would have been negligently easy to mess with the results last night. All they had to do was have two possible “right” answers for the last regular question and switch them out depending on which one Sharon chose. The risk for them was that Ryan would choose the same, but no plan is perfect, right? And there was plenty of time with that LONG hesitation to grab the correct cue card for the Chenbot to read. Because, seriously, that question was pure unadulterated crap. That’s the kind of question that NOBODY who wasn’t an idiot would have ever gotten. The freakin’ GUINEA PIGS constitute a pre-show couple?!
