Dr. Will and the Twist We've All Been
Waiting For
It is the
second eviction week in the Big Brother house (if you don’t count Jodi, and who
really does?) and the house doesn’t seem divided at all. You have six players
aligned under two coaches who are running the game without evening breaking a
sweat.
This episode
starts after the veto competition and Danielle has just been put up. She is
still under the impression that Dan has abandoned her and she is having a hard
time being alone in the game. Dan tries to smooth things over, realizing his
plan has backfired, by explaining what he was trying to do when he told her she
had to do it on her own. She forgives him pretty easily saying “I know he has a
good heart and had good intentions.”
JoJo and
Shane do some pre bedtime flirting in the have not room while Ian tries to
sleep. Although I think JoJo and Shane are only being half serious when they
joke about making out and their thongs, Ian believes that they are actually
flirting and about to go to town on each other with him in the room. Ian even
refers to what’s going on by saying that “Shane is trying to board the Staten
Island Ferry.”
The next day
Danielle asks Ian about what they were talking in about in the have not room
and he told her that JoJo was joking about climbing onto Shane (I don’t
remember that, but I wasn’t there). Danielle doesn’t like the idea of JoJo
flirting with Shane saying “last I remember Shane is interested in me.” Really
Danielle you just met the guy?
Danielle,
Ashley and Janelle talk about their ideal man, Ashley says she needs a big guy
saying that she would “crush [Shane] in bed.” She goes on to say that Shane is “becoming
emancipated” which she explains to Danielle as meaning “you’re so skinny you
start to get introverted. This Ashley girl is my hero. And I think she meant
emaciated, which you think the nurse would correct her about.
All of a
sudden Danielle brings up the misinformation that Ian told her, to Janelle and
Ashley, skewing it even more. She tells them they wanted to get on top of each
other last night. Danielle keeps going on about how Shane has chosen JoJo over
her and how she lost to Staten Island. I don’t know if she is just saying all
this to try and get Janelle’s vote or she actually believes it but it just
seems really strange.
Britney
tries to talk sense into JoJo. She tries to get her to play the game a little
better but JoJo just keeps replying “I know, no, I know.” Britney decides to
take it upon herself to keep JoJo in the game, so she goes to talk to Boogie.
Boogie controls all of the power right now and could definitely change the game
by aligning with Britney over Janelle, but he seems hesitant.
Julie comes
back from commercial to talk to the house guests. She asks Joe about the whole
incident with Willie, Joe says he just wanted to tell Willie “if you can’t take
the heat stay out of the kitchen.” What was that Joe I didn’t hear you maybe
you could yell louder next time. She asks Ian about it as well and he says that
his experience as a R.A. at Tulane helped him deal with the situation. I bet
Ian ran away in nothing but a towel a lot at Tulane.
Dr. Will is
on today’s episode! I’m so excited that I can’t even recap that part properly,
so here a few quick points from Dr. Will’s interview.
·
He
thinks Boogie is playing phenomenal.
·
Boogie’s
downside would be his big ego.
·
Chill
Town stabs you in the front
·
“[Boogie]
is coaching Frank to be his new Frankenstein.”
·
The
other coach’s play is lackluster.
·
“If
Kermit the frog and Ryan Seacrest had a baby, that baby would be Dan”
·
“Dan’s
eyes got pulled in the gravitational force of boobies.”
·
“[Britney]
you got to put your coach hat on.”
·
Janelle
is a phenomenal competitor
·
“If
[Janelle] loses, however, she will just be a three time loser.”
·
He
thinks Ian will win because Boogie is just a forty year old Ian.
It’s time
for the live eviction, J-Chen talks to Frank telling him she likes his shirt
only to have this back and forth:
Frank: Are you my home girl Julie?
Julie Chen: Are you my home skillet?
Frank: Absolutely!
Julie Chen: Good, then we’re on!
Yes, Julie
Chen you are on.
When Julie asks
the nominees to give their speech letting the others know why they should stay
in the house JoJo goes first. JoJo is still trying to play off as if she is
loyal, she tells the house guest they are making a mistake voting her out and
that a lot of the people in the house are afraid to make big moves, but she isn’t.
Danielle on the other hand keeps her speech real short and sweet telling
everyone that she loves them and loves the times hse has had in the house. I
think we know who is going home.
With a count
of five to one JoJo is sent home (Shane is the only vote to keep JoJo). When
she sits with Julie Chen for her farewell interview Julie asks her something I’ve
been curious for the last week. “We heard you say, in the house this week several
times, that you deserve to be in the house more than Danielle. Why did you
believe that?” JoJo starts off rambling as she usually does only to give off a
decent answer for once stating the fact that she was the only girl that
constantly competed in the competitions. I don’t really believe her but she
also gave her first succinct answer, so I’ll let it go. On her video clip of
farewells Shane doesn’t disappoint for a second week saying that their make out
talks left him with some good dreams, then he laughed and put on a creepy
smile. Oh Shane.
Back in the
house it’s time for the HoH competition. The competition this week is one where
you have to use a hockey stick to hit a puck around a couple obstacles to get
it in a numbered section. The highest number score at the end wins the competition.
The competition starts with Ashley hitting a four, then Joe takes an hour to
make his shot prompting Julie to tell him that we need to hurry this up. Joe
gets three. Jenn gets a score of zero, Ian gets nine and Wil gets a lowly two.
Then comes Shane, who is Britney’s last player and needs HoH for his safety. He
get’s twenty and after Danielle gets a zero Shane is crowned the new HoH, and
without and thought Britney leaps into Shane’s arms in celebration. Britney
your celebrating antics are not helping you.
That’s not
the end of the show though, Julie Chen is back to tell America that they have a
chance to change the game for good. Britney’s suspicions are coming true if
America so decides. America’s vote this week is whether or not to give the
coaches the opportunity to get in the game and play for $500,000 grand prize.
We will learn the results next Thursday on eviction night, until then we wait
and watch to see who Shane will nominate and what will happen with the Golden
Power of Veto.
I swear Wil’s
voices are getting weirder and weirder. This week in his diary room interviews
he sound like a news reporter on the radio in the 1950’s. Wil very could well
be the most annoying character in history, right up there with Marcellas on his
first season and Lawon from last season. He even says stuff like this when
talking about JoJo leaving, “I’m just bidding my time, waiting for the trash
man to pick up trash from the dough.” (He might have said door, but it didn’t
sound like it.)
After
winning HoH Shane does a diary room interview where he says “Bye, Bye house
guests”, I’m curious to know if he thinks he can eliminate everyone else in one
week and win it all, or is he going to pull a Willie? I hope somehow Shane goes
home this week.
Britney is
on a whole rant about how she’s “tired of some peoples attitudes”, and she’s “tired
of people’s general sassiness.” She quickly turns to Janelle and Boogies team
saying “It’s time for Boogie’s players and Janelle’s players to feel what the
block feels like.” Ashley, of all people, notices and says of Britney’s
behaviour “Britney is kind of drunk with power right now, it’s kind of scary.”
Britney
starts a conversation with one of the weirdest statements that has ever been uttered
in the Big Brother house, “Dan it’s like our kids are dating.” Danielle sits
there quietly with a real awkward look on her face. Then Brit goes into
godfather mode trying to plan out the week, telling Shane that the best way to
get someone you want out is to put one member of each team up for nomination.
Dan and Britney both say that Frank is the biggest threat but because Shane has
a side deal with him that no one knows about, he tells his coaches simply “I
don’t think I can put up Frank this week.”
The first
round is the Booty Scooty, where they have to move a seat back and forth by using
their butt. It all looks like they are simulating some sort of sex act with
Danielle even saying “this is one movement I never wanted to see Mike Boogie do.
Gross!” Boogie easily takes first place in the first round leaving Britney as
the loser. She opens her locker and has give to people the priviledge of eating
slop all week. Ian volunteers again, stating some kind of strategy as the
reason (Maybe he thinks if he gets skinny enough he can hide for the rest of
the time and everyone will forget he’s in the house.), Brit also picks Joe to
go on slop for the week.
The second
round is called Hip-2-Hip Extreme; the coaches have to bounce their hips back
and forth touching a sensor on each side. Janelle rocks the round and easily
wins. Boogie is the loser and picks up cash to spread money amongst his team
members, he chose to give Ian $3,000 and Jenn $1,000. Ian is so moved by Boogie’s
decision he starts to cry. (I wonder if Ian realizes Boogie was going to give
the $3,000 to Frank before Frank pointed at Ian and Jenn telling Boogie to pick
them?)
The head to
head round between Janelle and Dan is called the Tongue Trainer. The coaches
have to use their tongues to hit a little bar, that counts their reps, back and
forth. (Ew?) Janelle has definitely used her tongue before, she dominates the
round by 50 reps, that means Dan is the loser. When he opens locker to get his reward
he finds a ticket for a sushi party that he gets to have in the backyard with
five other house guests of his choosing. The five people he picks are Janelle,
Britney, Mike Boogie, Shane’s tanned ass, and his player Danielle.
Boogie and
Frank go to the HoH room to talk to Britney and Shane about the nominations
this week. Britney is doing all the talking for Shane and he seems very
uncomfortable knowing that he has a deal with Frank and Boogie that he never
told Britney about.
Danielle,
Ashley and Janelle talk about their ideal man, Ashley says she needs a big guy
saying that she would “crush [Shane] in bed.” She goes on to say that Shane is “becoming
emancipated” which she explains to Danielle as meaning “you’re so skinny you
start to get introverted. This Ashley girl is my hero. And I think she meant
emaciated, which you think the nurse would correct her about.

and watch to see who Shane will nominate and what will happen with the Golden
Power of Veto.
In the opening theme music for this episode, I noticed, that
when they showed the pictures of the house guests instead of having a black and
white picture of Willie they had a clip of him being kicked out of the house. I
thought that was great. Even though he is no longer in the house Willie gets a
lot of air time this episode, everybody is talking about him. Some of the house
guests try and explain what happened during the fight, with Ian saying that he
want to break them up but was in a towel and extremely scared.
This episode has the nominations, the veto competition and
the veto ceremony so they decided to move pretty quickly over the nominations.
Frank decided to nominate the easiest choices in Willie’s alliance of JoJo and
Shane. The fact that both Britney’s players get nominated makes her feel embarrassed
and disappointed in Willie for putting their team in this position. Britney
tells JoJo and Shane that they need to re-integrate themselves into the house
after what has transpired. JoJo is super pisssed and might pull a Willie
because no one hugged her or Shane after they were nominated. Not hugging
someone after they’ve been nominated in the Big Brother house is like walking
right by someone after they’ve said hello and tried to shake your hand.
The competition for the Veto is a memory/chip dipping/fiesta
contest. All the competitors were dressed in nacho chip costumes. The goal of
the game was to find menu items in the kiddie pools filled with cheese, salsa
and guacamole. Then they have to take the menu items and recreate the master
menu, when their done they ring their bell. The contestant with the most items
correct in the least amount of time wins.
Ian thinks he has this game in the bag seeing as how he “practically
has a photographic memory.” The
competition is pretty close but Shane rings his bell first. Ian finishes second
and then JoJo, Frank, Wil. Ashley takes her time so that she can make sure she
has them all right. After she finishes Joe yells out the result. Everyone but
Ashley got all the menu items right, the one who finished fastest and the
winner of the Golden power of Veto ends up being Shane. He celebrates his win
by jumping into the pool of guacamole. Britney is so excited she jumps into the
pool with Shane. (Maybe a little too excited Britney?)
Danielle knows that she is going up after Shane won the
power of Veto. Dan tries to pull a coaching tactic where he tells her she’s on
her own and has to do it herself because he can’t help her. I’ve coached both
guys and girls before and I know for a fact most women do not do well with the abandoning
tactic. And most of the time men only get it when they are on a team because
when you “abandon them” (that’s such a harsh way to describe it but you
basically leave them to do it on their own) they have a group of people to help
support them. Needless to say when Dan decides to play this card with Danielle
she is completely alone and breaks down.
Shane with a last minute play to Frank, after seeing Danielle
crying, to try and get him to put up Wil in his place instead of Danielle.
Frank tells Shane that he’ll think about it but Frank doesn’t want to step on
any ones toes except for the people who tried to get him out last week. He doesn’t
want to make more enemies. During Shane and Franks private discussion I swear
Frank was trying to impersonate Matthew McConaughey.
