“Big Brother”: Eric gets a chance

by Marilyn Porter

Veto CeremonyAs always, we start with the recaps. Let the recapping commence!

And now… what did I think? Well… Zach appears pretty bitter about his nomination which doesn’t wear well on him at all. Amber is predictably distraught and calling upon God’s power to save her. One thing I’ll be happy about after Thursday’s show is that I won’t ever have to watch her cry again. PRAISE JESUS! Daniele talks up Zach about how being nominated isn’t the end of the world. He’s not the smartest player to ever play the game by far here. The shower gargling? YIKES. Everyone keeps acting like these nominations are so earth-shattering but I think they’re pretty tame, don’t you? Jameka, widen your perspective just a touch please. For whatever reason, Amber believes she’s a pawn instead of a real target. Yeah… no.

Cut to footage of Eric and Jessica being cute. That’s always welcome when sandwiched in between footage of Amber and Jameka crying to God. Why she’s praying in Jessica’s HoH room, I have NO idea. Of course, Jessica comes in and is all confused about what in the heck Jameka is doing. I’d be like, “Go pray in your own room, girl.” Oh, and Jessica is “way into church, too”. Seriously, ya’ll! It’s true! Cheerleaders for Jesus!

Zach finally has a talk with Jessica, an opportunity to vent. And takes the chance to put in a few words against Dick and Daniele while he’s at it! Let’s backdoor them! Yeah! Jessica makes noises but you can tell she’s not feeling it. Zach, how have you been in this house THIS long with such a bad game?? Oh and I love Jessica’s “I’m too pretty to work” t-shirt. I think I need one of those.

It is finally revealed what Amber and Daniele got to do last week when they left the house. Wee! I’d report what happened but I think I slipped into a coma during that whole segment so I’ve got nothing. Daniele was upset she didn’t get to party with Nick, that’s all I know. Meanwhile, Eric is taking extra care of his breath with some Listerine. He’s hoping for some hot kissing action with Jessica, sounds like! Cue the cheesy music! Cue the lights! Cue the kissing! (Cue my gag reflex.) As Jessica said, “It’s about time!”

The players for the Veto competition are: Daniele, Zach, Jessica, Eric (thanks to Zach’s houseguest choice!), Amber and Jameka. Wee! I’m just glad that Eric finally gets to play for a freaking change. Dick is going to host the game (good choice there). Zach talks up Eric about backdooring Dick or Daniele. And much like Jessica, he makes the proper noises but yeah, no. The backyard is done up big time as a spooky swamp/forest. They need to feed a creepy looking “cat” rats that are hidden here and there throughout the yard. Fun! The long and short of it, Eric won! Yay, Eric! So what are they going to do? Is a Donato going to be backdoored? Oh the drama! In other news, sounds like the Donato’s want to get Jessica out. Huh?

So Eric gets his next task and he’s assigned “Jessica”! Big freakin’ shock. Talk about easy. Even he was expecting Dick to be the one he’d have to kiss. He got in a “peck” which given the gargling mouthwash he’d just injested, was kinda a letdown. BB even said the task was completed, but BARELY. Amber comes to the HoH and tearfully pleads her case. Wah wah wah. Go home already! Jessica and Eric discuss the benefits of putting up Dick or Daniele. Yeah, I can see how it’d be a good strategy this week. But… I don’t know. Will keeping the nominations change Dick and Daniele’s opinion of Jessica? Decisions, decisions.

So we get back to the POV ceremony. Jessica made it sound as though she’d rather Eric used the power of veto, perhaps to take off Amber? Eric, however, felt that America had made a decision about Amber by asking him to get her nominated so he didn’t want to change that. So as a result, he didn’t use the power of veto. Smart move? Or stupid one? Jessica seems okay with his choice. Dick and Daniele looked thrilled. Amber and Zach are pissed. Amber thinks he’s evil with no soul. Whatever, Wahmber. You’re so going home. And I don’t know if I’d take strategy tips from Zach, but whatever. Was it a smart move? I don’t know. You don’t want a situation where someone like Jameka, Amber or Zach wins Big Brother. I’d rather it be Dick or Daniele than them. I truly think the final four will be the Donato’s and Jessica and Eric. As of now, doesn’t look like that’s going to change any. We’ll have to see who wins HoH on Friday, though!
