WARNING: Long windedness ahead!
I was sitting back and thinking of my least favorite houseguests over the years. I was looking for a common thread and it seems that I don’t like a combination of mean spiritedness (although some believe it is a viable strategy) and most of all self-delusion. My least favorite are Evel Dick, the Nerd Herd from S6, and the Coven (with slightly less hate for Lydia). Here is why:
Chima is a black-hearted racist evil liar…and delusional.
(G)Nat is obnoxious, was controlling of Jessie, thought the best way to win an argument is was to yell louder and more often then your opponent…and was delusional.
Lydia I give a pass to because she ain’t right in the head. She was in crazy “Basic Instinct” love with Jessie and was going to cut herself when he stopped spending time with her. She is also delusional but I think that is only because of her obsession with Jessie and anything he was involved it (the Coven).
But I don’t see them going far since I see Chima and Nat leaving very soon. Then I think Kevin will reel Lydia back to reality. So I hate them less than Dick and NH.
The Nerd Herd had the same devotion to Cappy that the Coven has to Jessie, but they succeeded where I think the Coven will fail. But after playing some of the most mean-spirited game I have seen, and despite America voting against them every opportunity they had, they still kept telling themselves: “I wonder why we don’t win AC? We are really good people. Why doesn’t America see how good we are as people?” If James didn’t get nervous and bail on his alliance it could have ended different.
That leaves Evel Dick, my least favorite player. Although he played one of the meanest games, I would have at least chosen to see it as “entertaining” if he wasn’t the most delusional HG in BB history. And from interviews, continues to be despite having a season worth of broadcast and feeds to show him he was wrong. If he had acknowledged even once that the season was given to him on a silver platter I might change my mind, let’s recap:
Dick and Danielle entered as part of the “secret enemies” in the house. While the other enemies really did dislike each other and sought to evict their enemy, D&D pretty much called a truce 5 minutes in and vowed to do whatever it took to get each other to the end. It just so happened that Danielle was also one of the strongest players to play the game, competition-wise. So he had super-strong partner as his pre-made from the start. The only player that saw right through him and actively had the skills to outmaneuver him was Eric. Eric then became [del]Dick’s[/del] America’s Player. America, who loved the entertainment Dick provided, then had Eric play the best possible game he could to help Dick out and, as a result, totally ruin Eric’s own game (and chances). At this point the game essentially ended and the delusion began. Dick began to think (and thinks to this day) that Eric was a truly weak player because he had America helping him and look how badly he was playing. (No Dick, America was helping YOU.) He thought having the strongest player carry him to then end was a hindrance. He thought that Zach, who played well also and helped power D&D to the end was a traitor of the lowest sort when he sided with Jameka once they were in the final four. He told Zach that he should have stayed with them and they would have carried him to the end. (Ummm, this IS the end Dick, did he expect that either he or Danielle would take Zach to the final 2?) And then he berated Zach for having the gall to, you know, try to win or something. Jerk.
Sorry, this got longer than I had planned. Carry on.
