Big Brother — Page 2

I think Ian has Asperger's.

I never watched Survivor, but if his brother is anything like him I can understand why they want him out.

So far, Willie has been humble and innocuous compared to Russell. Russell is a disgusting, misogynistic and delusional egomaniac. I don't know why CBS is still trying to get mileage out of him and his family. It didn't work for Russell's nephew on Survivor.

I think Ian is hilarious. His anxiety-ridden facial expressions are so entertaining. I think if he's giving people the creeps, he's clearly unaware of it. If someone would just address it with him, it would probably be resolved quickly. Voting him out at this stage would be a wasted move since he's probably easily influenced and clearly not a threat at this point in the game.

If the Janelle/Britney teams continue to work together, the best move for the players is to drill down to an internal alliance between those two teams (F4 including 2 from each team and F2 from one team). The problem with the whole coach idea is that their strategy in alliances is already restricted to the three they chose, so we'll not likely to see much shift in alliances unless the players collaborate to abandon loyalty to their coaches.

Well, there are already too many mistakes with this nomination with regards to strategy. The Britney/Janelle alliance is pretty transparent and Willie jumped the gun with Frank without thinking it through. Putting up one of Janelle’s players as a pawn would have been the best move. It could have been solidified trust with Janelle and Britney without revealing their alliance to Dan and Mike. Britney and Janelle still would have enough votes to evict someone from Dan or Mike’s team even if they won POV and been replaced with another member of one of their teams. OR…since Dan is already down one player, you put up his remaining two, which would be an obvious strategic move and totally logical, reducing his chances at having an HOH.

Once Willie made a deal with Frank, all he had to do was provide compelling reasons to evict anyone other than Frank from Mike or Dan’s teams, which wouldn’t have been difficult given that both players on Dan’s team would have been the obvious choice. Now, Willie has made himself a vulnerable target should Frank reveal their conversation. Willie’s only choice is to convince Frank that he’s a pawn and pray that Frank wins POV. Luckily, whoever gets evicted won’t be on the jury, though BB could decide to allow someone back in again, but there’s been no mention of that.

I did love the fact that Dan and Mike thought Janelle and Britney were too dumb to form an alliance when they had already done so.

Did Mike just ask America to kick him in the face?! Yes please.

---

I hope so. Ugh, he is so vile, but really SO much fun to hate. If I have to hear one more comment about, "I won All-Stars, Dan only won against idiots, and the blondes are just rejects," I will spit. It is enjoyable to watch Britney and Janelle go on their smear campaign against Boogie.

I really think Kara is going to go home tonight, but Frank seems the much stronger player. What would be the reason not to vote him out?

Shane must have a big target on his back. He's good at the challenges and on a strong team with Willie and Jojo.

I really want the chef to go home. He annoys me.

I'm still waiting for the coaches to join the competition and watch Janelle kick some ass! I really want to meet her- I bet she'd be fun to grab a drink with.

---

Exactly. The only thing Mike was good at was sitting in the passenger seat.

---

If only it had been Mike vs Janelle at the end and not Mike vs Erika of All-Stars then Janelle would have won. (Really the two deserving people were Janelle and Will.)

---

Very good episode! I don't want to spoil anything unless someone says ok but did anyone pay attention to all those rumors popping up after the show aired?

---

broadwaydevil - what rumors? Spoil away :)

The fruit loops argument was ridiculous. Willie made some comment about eating fruit loops in the heat of his ranting and it got blown up into something bigger. It was similar to "I drink your milkshake" but far less eloquent.

I don't know what to make of Willie. He's clearly paranoid, but I think the whole "he made fun of Wil and made homophobic remarks" was blown WAY out of proportion. If all he did was what they showed last night, that was hardly an attack on his being gay. That was hardly more than some of the things others have said about people in the house - not something to cause a derailment of strategy. I don't know.

SPOILER:








According to multiple sources of individuals who normally interview the evicted houseguests, they have been told that Kara cannot be interviewed by the producers. In the cases that she is being interviewed, the questions must be emailed in and then sent back. In other words, no live interviews and no one has heard from her since she left. Most are assuming this means that she is being sequestered and will have a chance to come back in. In all likelihood, the next few evicted houseguests will all be sequestered and have a chance to come back in a new twist - maybe an America's vote like last year or some sort of competition?

Why am I blanking on who won HOH last night?

---

Frank, the one who was nominated.

---

Well, that explains it. I have absolutely no idea what a zap2it is.
