Watching Reality TV

I guess of the two nominees, Carol was the one who should have left.  She wasn’t very interesting and was a touch less sympathetic than Amber.  Plus, I honestly think Amber is a better player.  Though it might have been sound strategy to vote out Amber seeing as she would be more of a threat in the long run, the houseguests voted Carol out 10-1.  Jessica squealed with delight, of course, and I wanted to punch her in the face.  Previously in the episode, the women (poorly) tried to convince everyone that they had buried the hatchet.  When in reality, they still hate each other with a purple coated passion.  Carol, however, was the far more civil of the two and I honestly think she was just too reasonable to be on this show.  I don’t like that she went home instead of Jessica, but what’re ya gonna do?

Carol got to witness Jessica’s true true colors after eviction and didn’t seem surprised in the least.  Interested in pursuing a friendship?  I’d say not.

There was also a new HOH chosen last night.  Through sheer dumb luck, Jen won it.  It came down to a four way tie which required a tie-breaker question asking how many gallons of water the spinning teacup in the backyard would hold.   “Big Brother” gave us a big ol’ trick question because no one else took the gaping entrance in the cup into account so their answers were in the hundreds.  In reality?  It was 9 gallons.  Jen, who had guessed 42 or some such ridonkulous answer won.  And I wailed, gnashed my teeth and pulled at my hair.  Because there’s another week I have to watch that nutcase on my television set.

So our “America’s Player” can be told which person to campaign for eviction before the nominations on Sunday.   Seeing as how my most likely choice is the one making the nominations, I’m going to go with Jessica because she herself is like nails on the chalkboard.  But I’m willing to bet my baby’s weight in gold that she also nominates Danielle because of that whole Nick stupidness from earlier in the week.  Mark my words, ya’ll.
