Oh that was some good TV! Crazy Bitch #1 is gone, and Crazy Bitch #2 and 3 are up for eviction. Those three were the dictionary definition of sore loser. Tonight could not have gone better. During the HOH competition I was praying that either Jeff or Jordan won, excellent! And I loved how Lydia & Natalie absolutely **sucked **at that game!
I particularly liked Lydia’s assertion that Jeff shouldn’t have used the Coup D’Etat. Ummm, yeah. And in that football game I saw that one time, when that team intercepted that pass, they really should have given the ball back.
Every season I’m amazed that at least one house guest believes that “Big Brother” is an episode of their personal life and not a cut-throat game for half a million dollars.
An episode of their life in which “poor sportsmanship” is defined as another player playing for themselves to win instead of playing for the sore loser in question to win. Chima and her ‘disloyal’? Who was Jeff disloyal to? He was never even supposed to be loyal to you or Jessie or Natalie or Lydia…he was on the outs with that alliance from the beginning. “Loyalty” apparently means “letting Chima win”.
Is Lydia the craziest contestant ever? I can’t remember everyone, but no one jumps out as being as truly unstable as Lydia. Chima was an entitled, bitchy, sore loser with no clue as to her own worthlessness, but she wasn’t* crazy*. Lydia is seriously deranged.
Chima said the same thing on After Dark or the feeds and set that little bug in her ear. Something about how Boogie didn’t use the power when he had it.
Imagine, Jeff shouldn’t use something to help his game so that Lydia could keep giving Jesse hand jobs under the blanket.
That was a great ep. Those chicks are nuts. Imagine Michele being the sanest… I guess Jordan would be sanest but I really have no opinion of her, she is kind of blah. Do not see what Jeff sees in her.
So are we thinking there will still be an eviction tomorrow since they were planning a double eviction for Thurs? I assume so.
Yes, the assumption is that tomorrow will be a live veto comp, live veto ceremony, live eviction, then the live beginning of an endurance HOH comp, since that schedule really doesn’t give much time for them to have a full HoH comp unless it’s VERY simple and short. I’m guessing the veto comp will be something simple, inside the house, since any HoH comp will take a while to set up in the backyard and they’ll have to be on inhouse lockdown during the setup. Maybe a houseguest trivia or “When did it happen?” or “But first…” or something like that for veto.
They have to complete the second eviction and HoH before Sunday if they have any hope of resuming something resembling a normal schedule to the end.
And I don’t think Michele is crazy. I think she’s just VERY bad at social interaction and has a problem with short-term memory of conversations, which makes her look shady because when she’s questioned about, for example, things that Jeff was told Michele had said by Natalie (who LIED…surprise!), she doesn’t instantly deny like any sane person would if she hadn’t had that conversation. She tries to remember IF she said that, and isn’t confident that she didn’t because her memory for conversations, including her OWN PART, is horrible. So she looks like she’s trying to construct a cover story when she’s just telling the truth that she isn’t sure if that happened.
Not crazy, just socially retarded. I know the feeling, which is why I sympathize with her so much.
I can understand it as well really. My dad is that way. When he’s nervous he can’t look you in the eye and shifts his eyes around – he’s not lying, just uncomfortable (and he gets nervous pretty easily). Frankly if I were in there, I’d probably be hanging out with Michele (smart chicks rock).
Is it just me or does Big Brother have a surprisingly soothing voice?
“Please go to the Diary Room”
It’s so much worse than that, though.[spoiler]She admitted that the total fabrication which paints her in a bad light was actually true. She even said she remembered the conversation that never happened. Bad memory and social awkwardness are understandable, but she is taking it to a whole 'nother level.
Jeff and Jordan are super paranoid, sure, and Russell is annoyingly insecure, but Michele will be solely responsible if/when the J/J/M/R breaks apart.[/spoiler]
Just read on recap something that might explain some things. For those who don’t read spoilers, you can read the first paragraph of this spoiler (in italics) since it is only backstory, nothing game related. And I guarantee it will never be said on the network broadcast. There are no spoilers until the third paragraph, so no worries about accidental spoilage from peripheral vision.[spoiler]Jordan says that Michelle is getting crispy-- Jeff says mental. Jordan repeats story that Michelle confided in her that she had two head injuries and now is not as smart as she was.
That would explain all the wacky behavior out of Michele. I’ve known someone with a brain injury from not wearing a motorcycle helmet, and can totally see a brain damage pattern in Michele’s craziness. She has and continues to torpedo the J/J/R/M alliance every single day. It never ends with that one. If these four manage to hold it together, it will be a testament to the inhuman force of will of J/J/R to overlook the worst kind of sabotage you can have in a game like BB.
The fractured four finally got together and hashed out their problems. It took forever, though, because Michele was unintentionally sabotaging all efforts at every step. All four are now distrusting of each other, but at least it looks like they’ll stick together one more week.
For the latest example of how Michele sabotages everything, during the meeting she stubbornly stuck to her guns that the fabricated Splish Splash room lie (made up by Natalie and sold by Kevin) really happened.[/spoiler]
Jeez, there is too much going on that house. What there are 7 people left and about 20 different personalities?
Just wondering, why did Jeff throw the competition like he did. If he won the competition, Jordan chooses a prize first, trades with Lydia and gets HOH key. Then Jeff gets his prize, and trades with Russell.
As it worked out, Lydia got the Captain Unitard prize, but that could have happened if Jordan picked a prize first. I guess the other scenario would have been Russell getting the unitard and Lydia would have got the SPA prize. Russell in the unitard would be as funny as Lydia.
Wouldn’t have been hilarious if Jeff had got the unitard and traded with Lydia? Could she have gone any more ballistic and nutsy?
And BTW, those pants in the golf competition were the same pants that John Daly has been wearing. Loudmouth pants. Loudmouth dot com for the people that want a pair.
And 9 of them are Lydia’s.
He only decided to throw it when it was just he and Jordan left. It was guaranteed one would be HOH. Now Jeff can play the next HOH competition too.
Plus, in theory, he gets a lot of input into what happens this week without having to be directly responsible for it in the eyes of the other houseguests. In practice, though, everyone knows that he and Jordan are a team so both are held responsible.
My point was that he didn’t have to take the wild swing and knock the ball off the course to throw the competition after it got down to Jeff/Jordan. The person that wins the competition is not necessarily the HOH, (s)he just has the pick of the prizes. Jordan could have finished 2nd and still been HOH. Jeff picked a prize and still traded for the Hawaii trip.
Ah, I see what you mean. But what’s the difference?
Jeff would’ve had to explain that to Jordan. It wasn’t immediately obvious to Southern Yankee and I’d wager he/she is smarter that Jordan. I think Jeff chose properly. Still don’t see what he sees in her…
