What the hell was that? I felt like I was watching an old episode of Sally Jessy Rafael.
No sympathy for Daniele since she created her current predicament. Despite how her boyfriend of three years might feel, she’s the one who’s been sleeping with and hugging up on a guy she’s known all of three weeks. Nick would have backed off if she hadn’t been such a willing participant.
Felt bad for Jameka. BB has always sucked when it comes to diversity in its casts, this year even moreso. I sympathize with her feeling like she has to represent black people because she’s the only minority. That’s a heavy burden to carry.
Jen was hysterical in her typically narcissistic response to Jameka’s struggles with slop. Her response was basically, “I really don’t care because it wasn’t me.” I kind of love her.
I’ve come to the conclusion that Amber only exists in two states: Crying and About-to-Cry.
Oh, Kail, so much for that enlightment. Apparently, if she forgets he’s gay, Dustin’s okay.
AP Question: JEN! She’d have a fit because it’s HER stuff.

Watching Kail cry: AWESOME!!
Watching Daniele cry: Depressed me for some reason.
Well at least they all are off slop this week, so Jameka is going to have to find something else to talk about in the DR.

Oh, I'm so annoyed with Daniele. What was that crying jag she had outside with Daddy Dearest? Complete with the stupidity of saying she was put in this situation. The situation that you were put in, Daniele? Put in? Because the casting directors dragged you, kicking and screaming, into the house? They forcefully held your hand and made you sign the waivers? What the fuck ever.
Another "What the fuck ever" moment for me, though a hilarious one, was that little moment when Jameka was eating slop. Freakin' A! The Grim Weeper's at it again scrunching up her face in the DR about Jameka having to eat slop? Jen is saying that she doesn't know how to feel bad for someone, then cut to Jen checking herself out in the spoon? High-larious!
As for the nominations, how very transparent. Dick likes to let Jen know that he hates her for her iJen ways, but his speech was just as much about him as her speech was about her. She said she didn't like the negativity. He says he doesn't like the lies and deception. It was all "So-and-so said this to me," "So-and-so lied to me," "So-and-so nominated me." In essence, how does this effect me? Dick seems to be turning into one of those players who believes that there are contestants who deserve to participate and don't deserve to participate. If the possibility exists that a player's actions upset his endgame, it's wrong. Does he not realize that others are in that house to win also, and that he will do things that will upset their endgame? How is he mad at Zach for playing the game? The nature of the game is to play everyone. Dick's upset that Zach "played" him? When there's $500,000 at stake, shouldn't you play the game at hand? And not play the "She deserves it. He doesn't deserve" game?

So much stupidity in this episode! Delicious, great television stupidity!
My favorite quote of the season is going to be "I'm not very good at... that feeling bad thing? I mean, I feel something. I don't know if it's bad, though." Verifying that Jen is as dumb as we all thought, and that the several weird moments of cleverness only amount to monkeys pounding away at typewriters.
Jessica's fawning monologue on sweetbreads ("Sweet rolls, cornbreads, anything that's not regular bread and tastes good!") had me in tears. The girl is gold, can we have more of her? Maybe with Jen, a la Will/Boogie combined diaries so we can get compounded stupidity?
Also, so much irony in Kail's statement that the men were cowards for not telling her they'd changed their votes. And still, she shakes her head when Dick rightfully points out that she lied to him.
I'm disappointed that he seemed to go for the obvious, but I have a feeling he'd rather backdoor Zach or someone else than ever get Jen out of there.
ETA: re: Daniele's drama with Nick. A very, very big reminder that she's 20 years old. She seems older sometimes (at least to me) and this was a startling reminder that she has a lot of emotional maturing to do, and I felt really and truly terrible for her. She's right-- if someone gets hurt, it'll come down to her fault, and that's a lot to put on a girl her age, especially with the other drama she has going on. I think Dick did a good job being rational and reasonable and trying to talk to her, not telling her what to do. It was a good moment for him, and one that shows he COULD be a dad if he'd just get all his crap together and stay in a grown-up frame of mind. Unlikely, yes, but still.

Dick: His voice, especially when he’s talk in low tones, is a dead-ringer for Josh Taylor (Roman Brady ~ Days of Our Lives, Jack McKay ~ 90210).
Daniele: So bugged me tonight. “I wanna go home…this is hard…wah…” Is she 8 years old?
Kail: “It’s easy to forget Dustin's gay.” But it’s not easy to forget you’re an idiot, Kail. Go home. Now.

So are we going to have to hear what Jen thinks about everyone's pictures every week until she's gone? No, Jen there will be no pictures of you in another HoH's room. I'm actually surprised she went in there because she got all huffy when Dick didn't want to come and see her crap in the room last week. Daniele seriously looks exactly the same as she did when she was 5 or however old she was in the picture with Dick.

Some parts of this ep were too stupidly heavy for me to enjoy them, but leave it to Jen to bring the mood back to where it should be. "I suck at that...feeling bad thing. But I definitely feel something. I don't know if it's bad." And Amber crying about it. I don't want either of them to leave ever.

Okay I'm officially now on the train that thinks Jen is masterminding her behavior. I just don't see how she can be for real. Admitting that she knows she should feel bad for other people suffering but she doesn't and she's not good at it--that's sociopathic behavior. Do sociopaths recognize their own sociopathology? And do they freely admit it? It just doesn't ring true to me.

BIG idiot. Especially when she equated homosexuality with wearing full makeup. I could only stare at my screen in open-mouthed disbelief. That's not just lack of exposure, that's pure willful ignorance.
Admitting that she knows she should feel bad for other people suffering but she doesn't and she's not good at it--that's sociopathic behavior. Do sociopaths recognize their own sociopathology? And do they freely admit it?
Frighteningly, yes. For instance: do you think it's sociopathic when someone says they know it's wrong to despise a family member for having a baby, but they just can't bring themselves to care? And when they are told that the family member is in labor, their response is "I couldn't even bring myself to wish her a safe delivery. I know that's bad, but..."
Yeah. Sometimes, this happens in the real world, and it is NOT NICE. Or fun.

I hate that little sociopathic freak and would not want to be around her in the real world. However, in the Big Brother world she amuses me so. From the quote above to the spoon as the mirror to not feeling different after being nominated...she's fantastic.
In fact, I want her to win...just to mess with the rest of the idiots in the house.
Well except for Dustin...I love Dustin. His "he's a fictional dinosaur character...I don't think he has sexual preferences" cracked me up.

Jameka had an ENTIRE SCENE. I feel faint.
Of course she had to take the opportunity to bring up the race issue to get that scene. I mean maybe Dick should have said "All the starving children in China." and that might not have offended anyone. However, getting upset about starving children in Africa was kinda weak. I will admit I do feel bad for her being the only minority in the house and since she's never lived with white people before, it has to be difficult, but crying because Dick brought up Africa, not even in a negative way was a bit much. Although, maybe it's just all the slop she had to eat was going to her head and causing her to be emotional. I know it would me.

Don't get me wrong, if I had to talk to her in person, I would be tempted to off myself right there. But on BB8? With Kail? And Amber? I f'ing LOVE her.

I have the worst hiccups ever, and yet, the most annoying thing in my life is still Eric. Go figure.
Loved Danielle's hoodie (when she was crying in the hammock). Anyone who knows where a hiccup-laden lady from the midwest might go to get said hoodie, please advise. Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter.
Anyone else notice how high waisted Eric's swim trunks were? I am so skeeved by this guy. The wrestling? Pasta-bility? The inability to hold his head at a normal angle? I wish Jameka were AP. She's so much more relatable, IMO. Eric belongs on that Big Bang Theory show (which, incidentally, I think I might blow my brains out if I see one more ad for).
Jen's whole 'what emotion is this that I'm feeling?' talking head was ridiculous. Her entertainment value is staggering. I think Eric should steal her stuff. She'd care the most. Jessica is a close runner up though.
Nick's bare legs (in the HOH room with Dick) appear to be so hairless, he looks like he's wearing panty hose.
I love Dustin.
Zach is quickly joining Eric on the Island of I'm Ignoring Your Existence Now.
There is no excuse for Kail's ignorance to homosexuality, and I think Dustin is showing tremendous patience with her. The Barney question? Come on! I loved Dustin's fictional character response though. It'll be a happy day in this household when Kail's ass is shown through the door.
Was it Jameeka's birthday? Doesn't BB usually through a party type of event when a HG has a birthday?
Dick's nominations were expected, but I would have put up Kail with a pawn to make sure she leaves. I think Kail is more dangerous to Dick than Jen. Plus, Kail annoys me with zero comedic value. I'll be happy when she leaves.

Poor Jen and her struggles to understand that whole compassion thing. It's so hard. Not easy, like hanging spoons off your nose.
I wondered why Dick couldn't just say to Daniele, "You love your boyfriend. You're committed to him. Don't do anything with Nick at least till you get out of the house. It's called loyalty and fidelity." That's what I'd say to one of my kids. It bugs me that "Do what's good for you" is the most enlightened parental comment he could come up with. At the same time, I do get the distinct impression he cares about her very much. Odd that she doesn't seem to return it. After their talk, and his "I love you" she just got up and left without a thank-you, a hug or anything.
That said, I now proclaim this veto meeting.....no, I mean, that said, I do get the feeling there's so much I don't know, not having the feeds, and tonight the editors really seemed to be pushing the Evil Dick: Loving Dad, Harsh but Honest Friend really hard.
I loved the contrast between Kail and Jen at the end. Kail was like a giant tic, all twitchy and freaked about being nominated, while Jen sat there looking blank, presumably thinking,"Was I nominated? I'm still here, so I guess not. I'd feel bad for myself and Kail, but...I don't know how. Do I need more lipstick?"

How the heck is Eric supposed to vandalize anything of the houseguests? Is he going to snap a toothbrush in half? Now, if he were to dump Dick's red hair dye out to spell something rude on the floor or something, that'd be cool.
Jen is just unreal. The only thing that can ever make her feel bad is a picture she doesn't like. And Amber is probably even worse to live with, having her cry over every last thing has to be exhausting.
I felt a bid bad for Kail, it would suck to have Dick bullying you all week. I didn't feel too bad because . . . she's not a good player, at all. Plus her attitude about gays is out of the 1950s.

She's totally the kind of person that will go home, and walk around that town she owns talking about how she has this wonderful gay friend now and she's become such a tolerant person. And then in the next election she'll vote for an anti-gay marriage amendment.

No matter how I type this sentence, it will be so so wrong, but I really do love Dick.
It amused me how, when he was talking with Nick in the HOH room, he was maniacally rubbing his hair. Apparently, it was annoying him, so he jumped up and gelled it, and then he had to go to the bathroom to wash his hands. And Nick followed him to the bathroom!
This was all going on while Dick was threatening Nick ("if you ever hurt my little girl..."). Hysterical.

I'm white and I think those kinds of comments are ignorant simply because, the only people who starve aren't those uncivilized people who aren't like us, as is how I read comments like Dick's. I share Jameka's point that there are starving people everywhere in the world. Anyone could say that about the United States or their home state or their home city. I think if anyone overreacted it was Dick. She made her comment and she didn't scold him, she just said it matter of factly. It looks like it was done right after she said it. But then Dick was freaking out or whatever and needed to talk to her -- I think it's just Dick trying too hard. Wait. Dick? Try too hard? Naaaaah.
Anyway. Jen for the win! I lurrve how she said she felt something and she wasn't sure what it was, but it wasn't "bad." I consistently find her amusing because I think she is willing to poke fun at herself and her own absurdity at times. And I think she is willing to be very honest and straightforward with people, but not in a malicious way like Dick.

Because I love Dustin, I would like to believe that he was willing to play along with Kail's ridiculousness when it was Batman and Robin because, technically they are human. It was once she moved in the imaginary purple dinosaur territory that he decided he might need to explain the concept to her.

I so know how Evil feels. I once won a cheeseburger by guessing how many beans were in a jar. It was SWEET vindication!
Was it me or did the houseguests look better in this ep? Jameka was hot. I had thought she was kind of plain. Kail did something with her hair. Not exactly a beauty queen but it was an improvement. Jen is still a plain face but smokin' bod. The bikini she wore in the food comp was awesome. Jessica had a nice suit on also. Her face did not seem so pinched this ep. Even Dick look like he cut his hair and it took ten years off him. He's still not on my top five guys I'd date if I was gay though.
Amber looked no better. She reminds me of the charactor in Bedazzled that wished to be sensitive and then cried at everything.
Danniele is learning something we all have to learn the hard way. Girls get used on vacation. Unfortunately she is learning in front of the world and her boyfriend and her Dad. If her dad had any sense he'd tell her that if she keeps spending time with Nick she's going to fuck up her relationship with her boyfriend (if it isn't done already) so that's the decision she has to make. He should also mention how unlikely it is that Nick is actually sincere about her. He was smart not to put Nick up though. That would garauntee Danielle would cling to him even more.
Good job by Kail in figuring out that she was the one vote to oust ED.
Enjoyed the food comp. Glad Danniele will get to eat. I'm not one to ascribe medical problems to people who are skinny or fat but she needs some carbs to think straight right about now.

This BB house is full of criers. I've never seen so many people cry so easily and so often. Let's see, Jameka, Kail, Daniele, Dick, and Amber (of course) cried tonight.
Kail, apparently your alliance members could stand the pressure and did so by completely ignoring your demands. And Kail, if you don't like the spot you're in right now, blame the woman in the mirror. All she had to do was admit she and Mike were close, that she wouldn't vote him out and then move on. So openly and viciously trying to get the whole house to vote out someone who was your buddy five minutes ago was just stupid.
Totally got where Jameka was coming from. Like it or not, some people will judge all black people based on what they see from one woman on a reality show. In a way I'm glad she's cognizant of that, but I also hate that she has to be cognizant of it.
Is iJen perhaps a sociopath? Seriously. She doesn't know how to "feel bad" for someone else. What is that? Whatever it is it was hilarious. I hope she stays around for a very long time.
I was really happy to see Daniele go to Dick with her problems and thought he gave her excellent advice without telling her what to do. That was good parenting. I'm really starting to wonder just how awful of a father Dick really is/was. Daniele said her boyfriend has been the only person who's ever been there for her...Really? I thought that title went to her grandparents. I also thought it was a bit telling that she chose to go to Dick for comfort. Sure, he's her parent, but if he were really so terrible one would think she wouldn't want to go unload and share her feelings with him, that she wouldn't feel safe/comfortable doing so. I'm thinking more and more that Daniele is as self-centered as Jen. I think she expects her father to be there for her, to support her, to listen to her when she needs it, but I don't get the sense she feels the need for an reciprocation. Everything is about her, her feelings, her emotions, her needs...etc. That would be fine if she were five, but she's an adult.
I'm so developing a crush on Dustin. He may not be the most physically fit or the best looking guy in the house but his personality makes him by far the most attractive.

Eric and his arched eyebrow of bad acting need to get the hell off my television screen immediately. What is it about nipples rings on reality show men that turn them into utter douchebags? Douchebags that tend to linger and linger no matter what.
Dick is living up to his name. What a tool.
Kail. If your God created men and women then whose God created homosexuals? And why did s/he make so irrestiable to your God-fearing evangelical ministers? Targeted by HoH and spurting out homophobia to the openly homosexual in the house? Brilliant.
Jessica's owes me a shopping spree at Sherwin Williams. Her voice is peeling the paint off my walls. Did laugh at her nd the sweetbrads things.
Daniele is a worthless excuse of silicon and slimfast and bleach. Weeping about how pitiful it all is that she is just so beautiful and tempting that Nick, Village Idiot with a Soulpatch and an Amish barber is smitten with her. Well if that boyfried really means something to you it wouldn't be whimpers and tears now would it? But as sick as the whole Daniele and Dick thing is, is is hilarious to see the two of them try and play each other all the while realizing what the other is doing but refusing to actually admit it to the camera let alone each other. It is like watching the Jerry Springer-Maury Povich Summer Truck Stop Repetory do King Lear.
Jen annoys me because I loathe people that use being shallow as an excuse for people to not take offense that they are shallow. However I am loving it in this context. If Daniele and Dick are Lear and Goneril, Jen is Lady Macbeth in a red uni who just can't be bothered with a spot coming out.
Was amber actually tearing up over Jameka forcing herself to eat slop? What am I saying. Of course she was. All that water and FEMA should be stepping in by now shouldn't they?
Mike needs to keep the shirt off. And Nick needs to stop being so god-damn touchy feely in his fake drive to be house favorite of everyone. His talk with Dick was both bizarre and a bit creepy. And phoney. On both sides. I guess if Edmond of Gloucester rode up in a short bus, Nick fits the role nicely.

Initially, I found Danielle sympathetic in her spat with Dick principally because Dick was idiot enough to try to raise 2 kids in the middle of the LA rock scene and Dick's 20 years of hard drugs wore his face into sandpaper. I'm changing my mind though. I can forgive her borrowing money from her dad and not repaying it, with Dick's resultant temper tantrum.
But, giving an interview where she confesses to preferring to hang out with Joe over her Dad who just punted the the veto to her and would rather lose than contribute to her losing. Pretty lame. Uh, sweetheart, sassy gay bullshit artists can be bought and sold for cab fare any hour of day, but misguided punks who would piss on half a mil for your benefit are less common.
Only Jen's shallowness (which she trumpets as a virtue) obscures the fact that Daniele is not far behind.

I can't be too hard on Danielle, she's a kid and whether she willingly put herself in the house or not, it's understandable that she feel a little overwhelmed. I thought the advice Dick gave her was pretty good. He was straightforward and sympathetic and seemed to try and talk to her like she was an adult while still comforting her. Maybe he's not the world's best father, but I think that he does love his kids. I think the best move he could have done was let his parents be the primary care givers. Whatever the case, he's yards ahead of the absent mother.
Jameka made a very valid point and I'm glad that BB made sure that the viewing audience got to hear what she had to say. I did feel for her when she said she felt like she had to be extra careful because her behavior would be judged by some as how African Americans behaved.
Best part of the show. Jen gazing at her own reflection in a spoon while slop drama ensued across the table from her. I think she defines 'vapid' but she is amusing.
I voted for Zach to get his stuff messed with. I think his reaction would be the best.

I'm having a hard time imagining anyone watching Big Brother to learn about African Americans. Or about any community, for that matter.

I loathe Dick, and it does not help at all that the producers are shoving him down my throat as the next big awesome BB personality. Did he really need his own guitar riff theme song as he stomped around the house "vindicated"? And the thirty five minute somber parenting moment? Seriously? I know interesting stuff happens in the house all the time, everyday. It doesn't fit into the "Dick is actually a sensitive man who loves his daughter and his harsh honesty is just a reflection of secret awesomeness" theme, but it does happen.
And I would like to thank the script writers for rewriting history in every opening segment. "Kail broke her word to Dick! Dick was betrayed!" Wha...? The worst part is that they do so while showing us what actually happened.
Poor Daniele! I hate when my vagina accidentally hypnotizes those around me to the point that I may have to cheat on my boyfriend. It's so hard!
I love Jen.

ITA agree, Hellblazer, and I said as much in Jameka's thread. Also, even if someone DID try to watch BB to learn about minorities, my guess is that by the 8th season they would have figured out that not everyone is the same.

Can anyone tell me when Jessica left the BIG BROTHER HOUSE?
Seriously if it weren't for her appearance in confessionals at the food challenge you wouldn't even know she was there. Here entire storyline evaporated with Carol's eviction and the end of the $5.00 feud.
C'Mon Dannielle...would it be too much to give ED a hug and tell him you loved him too after he gave you some good heartfelt advice and told you he loved you.
Chris's Danni's boyback home must be sh@*ting bricks right about now seeing his girlfriend about to mess with another guy on TV. Forgive me but I find that extremly amusing.
I thought Nick was going to go in and bang Danni right on the spot to prove his manliness after letting slip the top five list in front of the other guys. A shout out to VAN WILDER...that made it a good episode all by itself.
Oh one last thing...apparently the majority of America's Choice voters never saw Season ONE of BIG BROTHER-whose lasting lesson is this:
YOU DO NOT WANT TO VOTE OUT THE MOST INTERESTING PEOPLE EARLY ON!
You get Eric to try and get Jen voted out and you'll be left with a bunch of boring dullards...ala Season One!

Felt bad for Jameka
I felt bad for her, too, but only because she didn't get a product-placed birthday party. C'mon, if Yapril can get one from K-Mart, she deserves at least Wal-Mart, no?
Let's see, Jameka, Kail, Daniele, Dick, and Amber (of course) cried tonight.
Don't forget Dustin. He faux-cried after Joe's eviction: (Weepy) I am really going to miss him. (Straight-faced) - Nope. It felt good.
Ha. That cemented him as my favourite houseguest.

Sometimes when I'm wearing my strip club t-shirt I cry about my parenting too.
Dick's shirt is for Riki Rachtman's Cathouse, a rock club in LA from 1986-1993, not the strip club. I don't know if CBS would let him wear a shirt for "that" Cathouse.
That said, I found it to be a typical Sunday filler episode. Jen came out of the sociopath closet in a big way. I still don't like her, but I do at least enjoy watching her now, if that makes any sense.
Have we given enough time to Nick's "top 5 guys" list? How many straight guys have a list of guys they would get with if they were gay? Does that even make sense? It's one thing to acknowledge a person is good looking, but he took it to another level. And the cooing over Brad Pitt. It seems like he's definitely comfortable with his sexuality, but I'm not sure what sexuality that is yet!

BIG idiot. Especially when she equated homosexuality with wearing full makeup. I could only stare at my screen in open-mouthed disbelief. That's not just lack of exposure, that's pure willful ignorance.
And bigotry. I'm so glad her multiple-business-owning ass is on the block. She's a cow.
Couldn't they have picked someone slighty less douche-y for AP? Eric is so over the top in his DR sessions, with the mugging and the facial contortions and the terrible jokes, it's horribly painful to watch.
This group of hamsters is an exceptionally vapid and stupid bunch of people. And I say that having just watched "Rock of Love" so I know stupid and vapid! After an hour of BB8 and an hour of ROL, I think I lost at least 27 IQ points myself.

However, getting upset about starving children in Africa was kinda weak. I will admit I do feel bad for her being the only minority in the house and since she's never lived with white people before, it has to be difficult, but crying because Dick brought up Africa, not even in a negative way was a bit much. Although, maybe it's just all the slop she had to eat was going to her head and causing her to be emotional. I know it would me
I don't think she was upset about starving children in Africa. She was upset about the pressure to "represent" and she snapped at Dick. When he came in to talk to her about it, I thought she made it pretty clear that she was reacting to feelings about being the only minority and not so much what he said. That's how I took it, at least.
He should also mention how unlikely it is that Nick is actually sincere about her.
I tend to think Nick is sincere. His feelings aren't likely real, adult feelings, moreso the puppy love variety. Still, I think in the context of the situation his "feelings" are real to him. Just like his feelings for Brad Pitt.
Oooo, Ihave the perfect vandalism task for Eric--draw a moustache, blacked out teeth, and crossed eyes on Jen's picture. I would love to see the meltdown!
I would so pay to see that.
I'm having a hard time imagining anyone watching Big Brother to learn about African Americans. Or about any community, for that matter.
Of course no one watches for the sole purpose of learning about other groups. Unfortunately, some people do see a person on TV and come away with opinions of an entire group based on the actions of one. For a lot of people TV is their only contact with people who aren't like them. For instance, I'm sure Joe's behavior did nothing but confirm a stereotype to the Kails of the world.
Poor Daniele! I hate when my vagina accidentally hypnotizes those around me to the point that I may have to cheat on my boyfriend. It's so hard!
Hilariously true! Oh, to have her "problems."
Don't forget Dustin. He faux-cried after Joe's eviction: (Weepy) I am really going to miss him. (Straight-faced) - Nope. It felt good.
Ha. That cemented him as my favourite houseguest.
See, it's stuff like that....That's why I'm totally crushing on Dustin.
