This show is so twisted. Can I just say (don’t think I mentioned it the other day), I love how Jessica said “You’re welcome” when Dick said “Thank you” after the nominations. CLASSIC. Dude. Dick is off his nut. I like the idea of riling everyone up and getting them up early before the Veto competition but he’s just SO OBNOXIOUS about it. Good gravy. He goes over the edge, you know? I know he wants to be the one evicted, but please. Does he have to do that? It’s getting on my nerves and I don’t have to live with it. Just when I start feeling sorry for him, or for Daniele, he goes and pulls stupid stunts that make me go, “Nope! He’s an ASS!”

So Eric ran the show while Jessica, Dick, Zack, Daniele, Jameka and Dustin played for the veto. And once again, when Dick sarcastically said “Thank you” to Jessica, she returned with a smooth, “You’re welcome.” Awesome. Anyhow, it’s a sort of croquet or whatever. Anyhow, looked nasty because it also involved eating/drinking nasty stuff. Jameka didn’t do so hot. Dustin rocked it though. Zack was pretty much just dumping the entire contest. Didn’t even TRY. Love it. Daniele tried, bless her. And Dick, like Dustin, just rocked it. Jessica used a wise strategy, drinking the thinner, easier drinks first. Still, she wasn’t quite able to get some of them. (Yeah, nice puke shot there) I’m not going to go on and on about this so the long and short of it is, Zack sucked the veto competition while Dick won it. Yeah, big shock there. Again, something Big Brother was hinting at the entire episode. Though Dustin did come close, VERY close.

And guess what? SORE WINNER. Oh yeah, all these people are. He’s doing his job well, I can give him that. Dude, he’s 44? Color me surprised because he’s acting about 10. And Daniele? Dear? If you’re tired of people taking Dick out on you (which, are they? Sounds like all they’re doing is ignoring her, which considering is the best possible outcome for her.), then maybe ask him to take it down a notch. And if he won’t in order to help you feel a little better, then maybe he doesn’t care that much about you. But she wouldn’t do that. Anyhow, what follows here is a nasty, nasty blow up in the HoH room and Daniele is just LOSIN’ it. And again this is somehow about God and I am just not getting how that’s factoring into things here. (And, can I just ask what Jen is doing in the HoH room? Is she on “their” side now? Wait. Zack is in there too??) Eric stated it best. Daniele, of course, missed the point he was trying to make. Jameka did apologize, but I don’t know if Daniele’s approach was good. She could have toned it down a bunch and made her points a LOT clearer. But it was all apparently for show and strategy so whatever. Respect LOST there, Daniele.

The good news is that as a result of all this, Daniele DID ask him to tone it down and he said he would. So hopefully things will be a little “calmer” from here until Dick’s eviction (am I wrong? Is this not a foregone conclusion at this point?).

So America chose for Eric to give Jessica the silent treatment. SIGH. I heard this was part of some master brilliant scheme to somehow stick it to Big Brother but I can’t help but think that not only are we sticking it to ERIC but to ourselves since (duh) he’s OUR player. Obviously these people just can’t handle this sort of power. So yeah, now Jessica thinks Eric and Dustin are scheming to destroy her or somesuch nonsense. Way to go, AMERICA. You suck.

So yeah, the veto ceremony went as expected and Dick gave his veto to Daniele. Let’s say it all together now: “AWW!!” *barf* So Jessica selected Dustin to go up next to Dick. Which was sort of what they were all planning all along. I don’t THINK that Dustin is vulnerable, but you never know. He is being a little overconfident though, which doesn’t bode well. And Jessica STILL thinks that Eric is allied with Dustin. GAH. Why do I WATCH this show? *bangs head on wall*
