“Big Brother”: Oh the DRAMA
First off, we must get our dose of recap goodness! You know the drill:
- CBS.com’s recap and video of the episode
- Television Without Pity’s weecap
- TV Squad’s recap
- Big Brother Craze’s recap
(Fyi: I sorta liveblogged this, just jotting down my thoughts as I was watching so pardon me if it seems a little disjointed.) Yeah, just in case we didn’t already suspect this, Dick is a really, really, REALLY poor loser. The little snit he threw after the HoH competition was just ridiculous. And calling Jameka a hypocrite? Was a little uncalled for, I think. What did she ever do to him? He sure got her riled though. See, I don’t understand why people rise to his occasion. There’s just no arguing with him because he doesn’t fight fair. I’d probably just ignore him, if I could. Easy to say from this side, right? I just thought it was hilarious how Dick tried to pretend like he didn’t really care but it was entirely obvious that he REALLY cared. Zack said it best, “The peasants are revolting and they’re not scared of him anymore.” True DAT!
Seeing as how I’ve turned into a hopeless “Big Brother” addict, I’ve been peeking at the live feed spoilers over on Big Brother Craze. So at the start of this episode, I knew who had been nominated as well as who had won the power of veto. I found it definitely colored my reactions to what was going on but I’m trying very hard to put it out of my mind so I don’t “give anything away” over here.
And in grand “Big Brother” tradition, the paranoia sets in almost instantly and everyone starts questioning what was five minutes ago set in stone. You can almost count on it happening, every season, every time. It’s interesting to watch these people tear each other apart. But it’s not as much fun as watching Dick and Daniele throw their pity parties. Dick promises to sacrifice himself over Daniele. It’ll be interesting to see if a) that situation arises and b) he’ll actually do it. I think he would. As awful as he is, I do believe he loves his daughter and is 100% loyal to her.
(DEAR GOD! EVEN JEN’S UNDERWEAR SAYS “JENIUS”. KILL ME NOW.)
America choosing for Eric to try to sell out Dustin was just about the most retarded thing ever. Are they TRYING to get Eric evicted from the house? Really? Of course then Dustin starts yammering about he thinks that he should go up against Dick only to see Dick go home and how satisfying that would be. So of course, Eric just JUMPED on that and why wouldn’t he? Shoot, I would have too. Course, then he tried to sorta sell out Dustin as well at the same time which is a little bold of him. But whatever. It’s all good. Anyhow, now we’re supposed to pick who he should give the silent treatment. WTF??
As for the nominations… yeah a big ol’ DUH right there. Not surprised. They were sort of gearing us up for this the entire episode. Next up? Power of Veto! Who will win it and will they use it? Dun dun DUNNNN!!!

I am sooo hooked on BB8. I watch it Showtime at night some. It’s hard to get through 3 hours especially when it doesn’t even come on until 11pm here… so I don’t watch it all the time. Mostly just on the weekends when I can spare time. So by friday night I know who has been nominated and by sat night I know who has the veto. It does spoil it a bit, but I love it anyways. Jameka is my fav. Dick is well… a Dick. I think he will probably go home this week.
