Big Brother 14

[dooley_womack1]

As I expected, the female mentors are trying to start an alliance between their teams to target Boogie's player on the bloc, tho they'd be willing to let the member of Dan's alliance on the block to get cashiered if need be. And Britney, whom I really didn't like in her season, is really entertaining, and has a big-time gay crush on Wil, who I think has some good gameplay in him to go with the flamboyant style. Dan is kinda boring, Janelle seems a little off (tho a big-time cutie), and Boogie's sliminess is great entertainment; he and Janelle should have an epic passive-aggressive war.

I hope that the mentors don't eventually become players; they've added a strategy element that has created some intrigue on the feeds.

As for the actual TV show, that was a pisser of a twist, making Dan wield the sword. I'm shocked that Diary Room didn't strongly urge him to keep the only African-American in the cast.

I laughed out loud when Dan said, "Obviously, it's not going to be Kara..."

 

[dooley_womack1]

Haha, no ****. The wife who was left with the baby back home surely appreciated the choice.

EW's doing some funny recaps this season. From tonight's, about Ashley (who they are calling "Smashley):

http://tvrecaps.ew.com/recap/big-brother-veto-frank-kara/

She takes such childlike joy in everything around her. But she had one line in this episode, and it had me on the floor. "I see laundry and washing machines!" she said. "I love doing laundry. AND I LOVE BUBBLES!!!" [Italics and exclamation points mine.] Smashley looks at the world through the eyes of a lobotomized child. I imagine that, every time she smiles, an angel gets its wings. And every time she laughs, a volcano erupts and destroys a small uninhabited island in the Pacific.

I've enjoyed the first two eps. The lives feeds have been weighted down with non-stop game talk, more than any previous season, and very little showmance/fights/drama/humor. There was one exception, and a pretty big fight on the feeds last night will surely be a big part of Thursday's show. Britney making Willie HOH was a disaster for her.

Shows what he knows!!

Long summer ahead and they kick the Playboy Playmate out first.

Absolutely freaking wonderful.

Kara couldn't have done a darn thing to stay. She was mere collateral damage in the feud between Willie and Team Janelle. It's all on Willie; he had Ashley in his back pocket but got so bat**** crazy that she had to go with her team out of self-preservation once she was identified as the swing vote.

About the only big drama today will be if Britney wins the coaches' comp and trades Willie for Danielle

It would be the smart move, though. Dan's down to one player. If his one player is the biggest asshole in the house, nobody is going to feel bad about getting rid of both of them.

I need to see more of the players, but my boy so far is Ian. He's so awkward and such a doof that it actually makes him likeable. I can't see him lasting, but I want him to float under people's radar screens for a while, and see if he can make himself formidable.

I'm not sure I actually LIKE anyone else in there all that much. I dislike Willie, Shane, Wil and Joe. Willie is a jerk, and Shane needs to get over himself.

With Wil and Joe, it is a personality thing. Willie was an idiot to mock Wil, but his impersonation was spot on. It's easy to chalk it up to homophobia (and in the case of Willie, it probably was), but the sassy gay guy persona only works when you are funny, not bitchy. For example, I liked Lawon last season (even thought he was a terrible player). My initial reaction to Wil was negative.

Joe has actually shown some spine, so maybe I will come around on him.

Danielle is filler. Ashley seems really vacuous. JoJo loses me the minute she opens her mouth. And Jenn frightens me.

That leaves Ian for me. I actually don't like the cast that much. I think they spent too much time trying to fill the designated stereotypes and forgot to get interesting people.

NO SPOILER ALERT!!!

... but if you're a fan, you've gotta watch tonight. HUGE news. HUGE.

(supposedly happened Friday, and though I can't promise it'll be on tonight's show, I don't see how they can hang onto it until Wednesday.)

 

[Killick]

Lines of the day from hamsterwatch include:

Shane: My favorite movie is Dumb and Dumber

and

Wil about JoJo: She's like Dobby with a black wig

Ha!

 

[Mizzougrad96]

Pretty easy to see very few people from the board are watching...

Maybe Russell's mother will be on Amazing Race.

 

[Just_An_SID]

After the problems that other shows have had with the relatives of Russell, I am sure that is the last you are going to see of him and his family.

The "Flip This House" knock off he did was awful and he acted like a true ass.

His cousin on Survivor was a fool and Willie will go down in history as one of the most famous terrible Big Brother players.

 

[Point of Order]

The ratings have apparently been down by about a million per week since the premier.

 

[Colton]

I admit, I do enjoy watching Britney.

 

[dooley_womack1]

She's not the same ****-talker she was for most of her season, tho. I don't think she's ever recovered from being blindsided by the Brigade. Boogie is by far the best coach as far as actually guiding his players.

 

[Colton]

Dools: Strictly "watching her" is the best part, for me. Black bikini tonight on Afterdark... nice.

Bringing back Rachel would just about torpedo those sinking rankings.


And it's painfully obvious Chen is oging to eventually announce: 'Coaches, you are now playing with your team for the big prize."

 

[Killick]

What a surprise: Hantz arrested for DUI. Douche.

"Trying to board the Staten Island Ferry" is the funniest thing on this season so far.

The most obvious announcement of the season was just made, but they are going to let America decide.

What if we say no to the coaches entering the game? Does the show end three weeks early?
