Watching Reality TV

Once again, we have recaps for thems that missed it:

• Big Brother Craze
• TV Squad
• Television without Pity
• CBS.com’s recap and full episode video

Now, onto the show.  Remember how Dick and Daniele were big ol’ traitors?  Yeah, those were good times.  I’m pretty sick that Zach and Jameka are part of the final four.  That ain’t right, ya’ll.  It’s confirmed that Dick did give Jameka “the deal” and she took it.  Obviously, according to everything that happened on Thursday.  Oh, it’s diabolical to be sure.  And I suppose it’s strategic gameplay but I’m just not sure how it was the best move to make, you know?  But Dick and Daniele are big time hopped up on their power and success.  And I don’t see their “high” ending until they’re both in the final two.  Because you know they’ll get there.  I mean, I suppose Zach could squeak in there somehow, but… I don’t know.  BAH.  I’m just disgusted.

So Daniele must be so happy now that she finally got Eric out.  She never “forgave” him for evicting Nick.  Puh-lease.  So everyone stands around and congratulates themselves on being the final four.  Jameka and Zach shouldn’t take a lick of credit for that, I swear to you.  Talk about coat-tails.  Anyhow, Dick and Daniele immediately start conspiring to vote Zach out as soon as possible.  Daniele even goes so far as to compare Zach to “that guy who calls and you don’t answer and you listen to his voicemail”.  NICE.  God, what a bitch.

Time for the HoH competition!  Yep, another one.  It’s a “memory” sort of challenge regarding 14 pictures the HG’s checked out on the memory wall.  Everyone pretty much played it with everything they had.   And then Zach won.   Here’s his chance to shake things up!  Bad news is: It’s a little too late for that.  Oh well, better luck next time!  Yuck, yuck, yuck.

Daniele is desperately depressed that she lost the veto.  And for some reason, she thinks they should have kept Amber.  I guess because then Zach would have been gone?  But Eric would have had another ally.  She’s SUCH a whiner.  Dude, and she needs her roots done too.  Just sayin’.

Who wants to see Zach’s HoH room??  Not me.  But, dang it, I have to see it anyhow.  Daniele and Dick look annoyed with having to see his room and, you know, not HERS.  Boo.  I’m saying good on Zach.  I mean, he’s dumb as a post, yes.  But at this point he’s not Dick and Daniele and I sorta enjoy watching them squirm a little bit.  I do have to say that Jameka is definitely not deserving of Final 3 or Final 2.  Heck, not even Final 4. What has she done in this game?  NOTHING.  At least Zach has won some competitions.  Even if he is only here because he was largely inoffensive and a brainless toadie.

Daniele campaigns for her dad and herself in Zach’s new room.  Unfortunately, her arguments pretty much fall on deaf ears.  Because her insistence that no one could win against Dick in the final 2 is pretty laughable.  I mean, Zach, yes.  But NO ONE?  I doubt that.  I think Jameka could.  I think Daniele could.   She insists also that everyone in the house wanted to evict him but it was her and Dick that saved him.  He complains about being an outcast, how no one was his friend.  Boo hoo.  Daniele thinks it’s incredulous that he thinks he could win the game.  I think it’s amazing that she’s so stuck up.  So there you have it.  She’s mad because he’s being “smug” (like anyone else in the house maybe?) and she hates him SO MUCH right now.  Dick makes some remarks about how stupid he is and while I agree, it’s pretty tasteless when you’re saying it just because someone is out maneuvering you.

Honestly, I think this is Zach’s best move.  It’s not going to WORK (unless the skies open up and Jameka wins a freaking POV competition for a change), but it’s his best move.  Because I don’t think it was guaranteed that Dick and Daniele would take him to the final 3.  I think they already had that promised to Jameka.  And, uh hello, weren’t they talking about getting rid of Zach just before the HoH competition?  So whatever.  Good on you, Zach.  You’re redeemed somewhat in my eyes.

So after much ado and little suspense (I mean, who didn’t see this coming??), the nomination ceremony starts and Jameka’s is the only key to be had.  Voila!  Dick and Daniele are on the block!  I don’t imagine they’ll both STAY on the block, but it was worth a shot.  Like I mentioned before, it’d be an act of god to have Jameka win POV.  Dick and Daniele are pretty pissed off to be nominated but they can’t have been surprised.  And they do deserve to be squirming a little bit at this point.  Even if they end up having the game sewn up, they deserve this right now.  Tune in Tuesday to see POV and eviction.  Wee!
