Yeah, I’m reminded of how stupid it was for Dustin to offer to go on the block. I mean, that goes down in the book of “Stupid Reality Moments”. He did ask for it, in case you need reminding of that. In case you’re feeling he’s been unjustly wronged. Ahem. Anyhow, on with the show. These live shows are always a jumble of information and I don’t want to get “lost”.
The good news is that Jessica trusts Eric again. I thought it was shitty he had to deceive her in the first place. And Zack and Jessica had a date night/dinner thing which… I don’t really remember WHY but whatever. They had beer. In… wine glasses. Interesting. It was all to talk strategy, where Zack tried to convince Jessica to talk deals with Dick. Last week? The mere notion would have been laughable, but this week? He gave her his word he’ll vote out Dick unless she tells him he doesn’t have to. That’s Zack for you, loyal to the end. To who? To whomever can carry his rather large self through this game, apparently.
OMG, so surprising that America has chosen Dustin as Eric’s vote this week. Eric was “real surprised” too. He tries to talk to Jessica about voting out Dustin but she all takes her shirt off and they’re laying in the HoH bed and she’s just TOTALLY flirting or whatever with him, trying to distract him. Basically, blows him off and tells him she’s tired and going to bed. He takes off and talks to… DICK! Yes, Dick! Strategy, my mate. And in turn earns some words of respect from Dick. Mostly because Dick is recognizing that Eric is integral to his survival in the house. About time, eh? This can only be good, I feel. So then Eric starts talking Jessica into the “get rid of Dustin” thing. It feels like at last, Eric is putting his head into the game. Almost too late, but at least he’s there now. Jessica doesn’t seem sure at first and I don’t blame her. He makes some EXCELLENT points about aligning with the strong vs. aligning with the weak.
Would Daniele have taken Dick off the block? DOUBTFUL. She didn’t in week two when they were both nominated and she won the veto. So there’s your answer. And guess what? Amber is trying again! YAY! This should be a drinking game. I’d be so embarrassed if I were Lexie. You gotta love Joe trying to highlight Dustin’s selfishness. Cuz, you know, Joe was SO NOT selfish. Har. He does have a good point about Dustin being so arrogant. Didn’t like Joe that much but he does have some valid points there.
And the moment is here. Dustin… is gone. Dustin looked shocked as hell. Amber looks ready to burst into tears (of course). Didn’t get a good luck at Jameka’s reaction. Everyone else looks resigned (because, duh, everyone else voted for him). AWESOME. Amber looks like she’s been kicked bya horse. Jameka? PISSED, from her body language at least. Dustin admits to Julie he’s stunned. Apparently, he got NO wind of this operation. He does and doesn’t regret offering himself. WTF? He’s happy to be on the jury, at least. He admits to feeling a little worried today, at the last minute. Eric, in his taped goodbye, was STILL trying to play Dustin, which of course Dustin wasn’t buying. Amber? Crying. Natch. I can see why they didn’t reveal the America’s Player twist because DUH, he’s in the jury and it could have bearing should Eric make it to the end. So yeah, no more revealing that until the end of the game. Aww nuts.
HoH competition! The shenanigans from earlier this week (check out Big Brother Craze for the deets) were shown before we open on the competition where, of course, this all applies. The HG’s are asked questions about the visitors. Last one standing wins. Simple enough, right? Jen, again, proves she’s too dumb to live. Yeah, there was NO WAY Amber was going to beat Daniele at a battle of wits. So Daniele is HoH! This is good news, I’m sure. I’m thinking Eric and Jessica are safe. I’m hoping. Fingers are CROSSED, yo. Amber? Is crying. Julie awesomely cuts her off. HA! Love it. So who should Eric try to get evicted? I say “TAKE IT EASY” on the poor guy for a change and pick Jameka and Amber. PLEASE.
