Yeah, no kidding. That would be the very opposite of funny. Did you see Ronnie doing the light saber thing talking about the mystery power in the diary room confessional last night? I so wanted to repeatedly smash his face into a plate glass window.
It has nothing to do with the game, or targeting my favorite players, or lying, or his hypocrisy, or anything like that. He is just the personification of all things loser, dork, dweeb and geek. And not in a chic way; there is no irony to his loserdom. I’ve occasionally wondered why losers (as epitomzed by Ronnie) elicit such a visceral and strong desire in me to beat them up or otherwise torture them. Maybe I subconsciously perceive the flagrant lack of social skills as a threat to the species; like, holy shit, if these losers take over humanity will die out. Something along those lines.
Hey, notfrommensa, you suck. Reading live feeds is like eating potato chips. So not cool. Does anyone have any interest in me posting a distilled version of them? Some of the recapper snark is quite funny.
Yeah, but America’s Vote tends to favor the most annoying people in the game. Remember, the main reason Evil Dick won two years ago was because America repeatedly voted to keep him in the game.
Granted comparing Dick and Ronnie is like comparing apples and oranges. They each have vastly different approaches to the game. But let’s face it, America’s Vote can give otherwise unlikeable people a leg up on this show.
Having never seen BB before this season, I only vaguely know what you’re talking about based on recappers scoffing at the comparison between Ronnie and Evil Dick.
I would guess no on any recaps posted here. that would have to be put into spoilers boxes. If people want the info, they can go search it out themselves IMO.
I did like Jesse’s pouty face when he was put on slop, and then when the squid showed up.
Squid wouldn’t seem like such a bad thing to have. Yeah, it looks disgusting, but if they have someone who’s a halfway decent cook in the house, they could cut it up, fry it and make calamari.
And there’s plenty of things they can do with squash.
I don’t think Jesse would eat fried food… might mess up the temple…
Natalie’s attitude is going to come back to bite her in the ass. Sooner, rather than later I hope. She’s not smart enough to use her slop pass quietly. Twice she had to announce that she doesn’t care about the “have not’s” food because she doesn’t have to eat it.
Do they have grill? Grilled squash is delicious, butter/margarine and spices are not off limits are they? Is it just yellow squash? or is there zucchini as well?
I am not a fan of calamari though, although I would probably like it more than slop. Isn’t it difficult to prepare?
So… speculations about the “power”? (If you have some real knowledge from the live feed, please spoiler it.)
I’m starting to like Russell. At least he’s playing the game and recognizes that Jesse and Natalie are not on his side. I can’t STAND Natalie. And what happened to Lydia? What a disappointment she turned out to be. Needy, jealous, poor-playing whiner!
You mean about what the power is? Julie explained it last Thursday. The mystery power grants you the ability to switch one or both of the nominees during the eviction ceremony. The only players off-limits are the HoH and the PoV. (I’m not sure if you win the PoV and then take somebody down, are you still the PoV and thus immune, or is the person you took down now the PoV and immune?)
If you mean about who has it, the voting didn’t close until 8 hours ago, and the winner can’t tell anyone in the house anyway. Since live feeds / recaps have no access to Diary Room discussion, nobody will know until the network audience finds out on Thursday.
Ronnie’s wife tried to get people to write a bot to cheat the power to Ronnie. Similar request are all over the place. (Note that the linked OP was edited a couple days after posting to remove the name Ronnie.) In response, BB switched up the voting page to randomize the order each time.
As for internet sentiment, the unofficial exit poll on the CBS site makes it plain as day who’s going to win it. I can’t seem to find the link right now, but all week it was consistent.Jeff 80%
Jordan 8%
Everyone else: 1% or 2% each
I won’t openly spoiler live feeds, but be prepared for some rock 'em sock 'em on Thursday night’s show. It’s a shame they have to shoehorn in the eviction and the HoH competition, because the houseguests EASILY gave them a couple of show’s worth of footage the other night.
[spoiler]Jessie and Natalie were getting nervous about Russell cozying up to Michelle (and, by extension, Jeff and Jordan), so they lied to Russell and told him that Michelle had come to them to try to get Russell out next week. Russell (the big dumb idiot) believed them and started a HORRENDOUS argument with Michelle (so much for that short-lived alliance). In the middle of this, Chima actually started defending Michelle and got into some rip-roaring fighting with Russell herself. Chima was egging Russell on (Hit me! You know you want to!) and at one point threw a glass of water on him. Also, Michelle had told Russell her secret about having a PhD and Russell then told Jessie and Natalie because he believed them about Michelle scheming against him. There were moments when Jeff and Jordan actually had to herd Russell and Chima into separate corners to keep them from actually hitting each other (and therefore getting kicked out). And throughout all of this, Jessie was hiding in the have-not room with Lydia (and doing really disgusting things with her) and Natalie was being Natalie and buzzing around like a giant gadfly spreading lies and rumors and generally fueling as much of the rancor as she could.
MEANWHILE, Kevin got into it with Ronnie. Screaming and fighting and almost hitting…this went on for over an hour. Ronnie at some point a few days ago said something like “Hitler was a really good motivational speaker” because of his charisma and ability to rally the German people, and Kevin really laid into him with what seemed like a deliberately obtuse understanding of what he’d said, accusing him of admiring Hitler. While I applaud anyone who yells at Ronnie until he’s forced to pretend to cry (which he did…pretend, that is), pulling a half-assed accusation like that out of what Ronnie actually said weakens your argument.
Anyway…the only thing that all of this seems to have done is destroy the Jeff/Jordan/Michelle/Russell alliance (well, it peeled off Russell, anyway). The votes are still there to get Ronnie out, so Jessie and Natalie didn’t manage to save him with this, anyway.
But MAN, I can’t wait to see how CBS manages to fuck up the telling of that tale…they’d have to bleep an awful lot, of course, and I’m dying to see how they manage to make it all look like roses for their best bud Jessie.[/spoiler]
On preview, jayjay beat me to it, but since I spent all this time typing it out I’ll post anyway.
All hell broke loose on Monday’s BBAD. It was fantastic; can’t wait to see how they present it on Thursday’s show. Minor spoilers about fight:[spoiler]Chima really got into it with Russell. She was truly a woman scorned.
Everyone in the house was involved except Jessie/Lydia hiding in Have-Not room and Jeff/Jordan, who were present but stayed above the fray.[/spoiler]Bigger spoilers about fight:[spoiler]Chima threw a glass of water in Russell’s face. They started yelling at each other. Kevin got between them to break it up, finally Jeff pulled Russell outside. Chima then started calling Russell a terrorist. (This from the woman who gave the “racist” speech about Braden. Nice.)
Kevin went thermonuclear on Ronnie, screaming like a crazy person and acting very thug-life. It was nuts! Ronnie ended up fake-crying his ratty tears to Chima later that Kevin really hurt his feelings.
Michelle told Natalie that hanging out with Ronnie means she has as little respect for everyone else that Ronnie shows. Natalie countered with Michelle’s vote for Braden, they start screaming at each other, Ronnie joins in to scream at Michelle, then Kevin goes batshit insane on Ronnie again. Wheeee![/spoiler]Alliance spoilers:[spoiler]Not sure if this was on broadcast last Tuesday, but the new power alliance is Jeff, Jordan, Russell and Michelle. Jessie and Natalie told Russell a made up a story that Michelle was trying to save Ronnie. Russell then got in a screaming match with Michelle immediately prior to his fight with Chima.
But it was all (at least partially) an act on Russell’s part. He, Michelle, Jeff and Jordan are still good, though understandably a bit wary of each other. J/J/M all want Jessie and Natalie gone; Michelle has even approached Kevin, who also wants them gone. All want Jessie gone then Natalie except Russell, who wants Chima out first.[/spoiler]
On an unspoiler-y note, looks like Jordan is deteremined to lose some weight. She noticed Michelle had lost weight and is looking great compared to her memory wall photo, so now Jordan wants to lose weight as well.
She worked out for an hour and a half straight last night during BBAD, including over a half hour on the stepper. At one point Jeff asked her if she was trying to lose 10 pounds in one night. This was 10 hours or so ago.
According to the recappers, she’s working out again right now, and has been for a while. Go Jordan!
There was…well, there’s no delicate way to put this…toe sex involved. He was apparently fisting (so to speak) her lady parts with his foot. Lydia is one freaky little creature. And Jessie is apparently not too far from resembling that himself.
Spoilered more from a sense of propriety than for any kind of game-play spoilerism.
It was gross in the extreme. And the camera operator was zooming in on it in loving detail. Instead of describing it, I’ll see if I can dig up a recap.
In the meantime, I see somebody posted a video of Jordan laughing at Ronnie’s fake crying. This was such an awesome moment.
