Janelle (to Dick): “You smell good.” Oh, cram it Janelle. He does not. He smells like cancer and farts. My opinion of you, already low as it was, had to take another hit when you showed your icky liking for the old bastard.

Dick, talking about his sexual frustration. Dick, who we have seen farting, spitting, threatening to rape people’s corpses. Why do you have to make me agree with your daughter you freakazoid? Did you really think you would be swimming in willing vagina when you showed up on Big Brother, looking like a ratty Tommy Lee imitator, spewing psychotic sexual threats? For real, dude?

What’s a word for more inevitable than inevitable? Maybe inescapable. Yeah, that’s it. The Dick/Daniele final two: increasingly inescapable. Awesome. I totally can’t wait. This wouldn’t be BB if it wasn’t a successively more horrifying F2 every year.

I never watched BB before this season, so have no clue about Janelle. But, she looked like a cliched porn star out of the 70s. And, when she first stuck her heard out of the sliding glass door, she looked like she's had so much plastic surgery that she looked like one of those theatrical masks (you know the ones that always has the smile and the frown to represent comedy and tragedy).

I thought, is her face real?

Thank's Big Brother! I made the mistake of eating doritoes while watching, and will forever associate those chips with Eric and Dick blowing snot's out of their noses. Good God! For the first time ever I found myself agreeing with Dani, I also wanted to vomit at the sight of Dick and Janelle flirting.

I decided a while ago that Jessica's been using Eric, and tonight just reinforced that. She actually started to creep me out with how cold she seemed towards Eric. I guess being on the block has made her realize that she hitched her wagon to a twitchy, useless star that sucks at any kind of direct competition, but she wasn't at all concerned about not getting to see Eric after being voted out. Jessica's eyes are on the prize. Nothing at all wrong with that, but she's just got Eric wrapped around her little finger so tightly that it's awkward to watch.

The Dick-Eric cereal bukkake scene was... apropos, I guess. Eric seemed to derive an inordinate amount of glee from that. Bizarre. Watching him babble endlessly to Dick like a stool pigeon in a budget mobster flick was pitiable. He's incapable of acting natural.

Speaking of Dick, I think we've finally gotten the first solid glimpse of the pathetic creature underlying his whole asshole exterior. Seeing how happy Janelle's cursory attention made him, I can really buy that Jen's rejection of him fueled his uncontrollable rage. I can't imagine how that guy gets along with women in real life, but I guess that's why his daughter doesn't talk to him (until she needs him to win her some money, anyway).

This show gets more and more boring -- I say it every week, yet for some reason I still bother turning my TV to CBS when I'm at home during BB. Sigh. They desperately tried to drag out the "suspense" for an hour and there just wasn't any. At all. Zzz. It was like there wasn't even enough footage to fill the show. These people are so uninteresting! All the interesting, funny and even remotely attractive people are gone. Can we get a twist where all these people leave and Jen, Carol, Nick and Joe return or something? These people are boring.

Jessica looks either mad at Eric or repulsed by him. Possibly both.

Janelle apparently thinks cigarette smoke, body odor, farts, hair dye and denture cream smells good. She also thinks mom jeans are hot. After years of not understanding why Janelle didn't want cutie Kaysar, it all makes sense now. Janelle likes dirty old men.

I'm not sure who I disliked more from this episode, Richard or Janelle. Oh wait, I know! Eric.

If the AP vote is for Jessica, then Thursday night will be pretty interesting.

I used to love Janelle...sigh. Why does she have to kill it with the Dick and Daniele fawning? Why? Wasn't last season enough?

I don't feel one iota bad for Eric. He hops around like a monkey and is completely cruel to other people when they're miserable. His plan that he forced down Jessica's throat to align with Dick and Daniele was idiotic from the start for this exact reason. Obviously there was going to be a conflict between "America's" "favorites" and his own interests eventually. He's a douchebag. And she's an idiot for not using her own brain. In other words: BYE.

Dick and Daniele's DR sessions about how they aren't the type of people to lie outraged me. Kail, Jen, Nick and Eric would beg to differ (well maybe not Eric, since he's a spineless tool, but the others...maybe).

So how much fun was it to see Eric realize that he sucks? Sorry "Cool kid" I'm voting for you to vote out your girlfriend and I kind of like Jessica. I just need to screw with you some more because you are annoying. D&D decide whether Jessica goes or stays. I want your vote to hurt you either way.

Wait. Just a moment.

A double elimination Thursday, but Danielle didn't use the POV?

What am I missing?

Major points to Dani for her DR moment when Janelle called Dick hot. "Have you been watching the show?" is right indeed.

I always found Janelle funny, cute and obnoxious. Perfect for BB. But her obvious "You're wearing Nick's headband and OMG! I love you two!" subtext really annoyed the crap out of me. My annoyance grew during the montages of her bouncing on the chair while dick watched... Ick.. Daniele is an excellent player but she rubs me the wrong way. Perfect example- talking down to Jessica and Jameka during the veto ceremony "it's so hard to be in this position!" while one of them will be evicted in a few days. So, it's actually not hard for you- at all.

And I guess she thinks physical threats, rape threats, gay-bashing, and corpse raping threats are good to. I guess it turns her on, or something. Somewhere, Dr. Will had to be laughing at her. And Dick? I don't know what your smoking, but Carol and Jen where way hotter, then that fake princess. But they had brains and self-esteem, so I guess that was a turn off. Janelle and Dick would actually deserve each other.

I continued to enjoy watching Eric fall apart. And Jessica blowing him off was hilarious. Couldn't happen to a nicer person. He is truly pathetic.

This episode was particularly disgusting, with geriatric Dick blathering on and on about not getting to flirt and drooling over Janelle. Maybe you had no one to flirt with since all the pretty girls were repulsed by you? You are old enough to be Jen, Carol and Jessica’s father and they’re all attractive women. Pretending there was no one there is a lie. Oh and I loved him calling Jen skanky even though his daughter works at Hooters and watching her little tantrum at his "waitresses=strippers" comment. Give me a break. I hope Janelle was just humoring him, I mean she had Will to herself all last summer and she finds Dick attractive? Yuck.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching Jessica getting increasingly tried of Eric. He’s an idiot if he can’t read the huge warning signs she's sending with her body language, and hell she even told him he should be in her position. It's a shame because if she could've made a single decision on her own, she wouldn’t be in this position at all. Serves both these tools right.

I’m firing up CBS to vote for Eric to evict Jessica. If the vote turns out Jameka, it’s just another case of the producers manipulating the game this year.

The happy boppy horns of Will's Shenanigans (Unfortunately Co-Starring Boogie) should never ever be used when Eric and Dick are onscreen.

It is a double elimination this Thursday, but the hamsters don't know that.

Daniele: I actually agreed with her re: the waitress/stripper/president incident. The end is nigh!

Dick: Looked more wrinkly than usual tonight. I wonder if smoking is bad for the skin...

Eric: His school girl giggling during all encounters with Dick made me uncomfortable.

Jameka: Thought she looked especially beautiful tonight.

Jessica: Her eyebrows (or lack thereof) are way too distracting. Yuck.

Zach: Yawn.

Do they know when the finale is? I would assume they must've put two and two together.

Makes you wonder if she wasn't really behind that banner plane like she was rumored to be.

Ah. So Eric didn't win POV to save Jessica? Shocking. I'll assume he threw another challenge. Ass. So Daniele won the Veto and didn't use it? Thrilling. Skinny ass.

Didn't we know this? And isn't she the same girl who dumped her real life man for Spiderman kisses with BB6 boyfriend Mike? Or was that for BB7 Will?Actually, she has quite a bit in common with Daniele.

I'll assume she really just showed up to use her "popularity" to pimp D&D. Gross.

Meh. Janelle is beyond a fake. She's just as annoying as Dick, and Danielle in her phoniness.

Yo, Dick, you say you don't like backstabbing people. And, that you have yet to do that in this game. Oh, really? Explain that Nick, Eric, Kail (kinda), and Jen. They disagree with your theory that you are straight forward, and honest. You are one of the biggest liars in the house along with your 'this is so hard to hold the veto' daughter of yours, Eric, and Amber.

The whole Janelle and Dick thing was absolutely disgusting. I 100% agree with Dani there.

Dani, I mostly liked you this episode until you blew it with your FAKE veto ceremony speech of 'this is so hard for me, you nominees have it so so easy'. LMAO And, shut up while you are at it. Thanks.

Jameka, you are useless in this game. And, stopc rying because Zach - who you hate and tried to eliminate last week - nominated you. Same with you Jessica. Jessica, you gained points when you stated you'd be happy with you being vetoed and Eric being your replacement.

Eric, what a punk. However, I gotta admit, your mimicing of Dick was kinda funny. That said, I'd have prefered if you had gone all out and instead of just copying what he said and did at the moment you had truly mimiced him by cursing out him, and his daughter. Spitting all over the place. Blowing smoke in his face. And, doing eevry nasty thing Dick has done to him. That would have been beautiful.

Zach, you are my favorite amongst those who are left. That said, your nominations this week were dumb. Hopefully, you'll survive them.

Ugh. I loved Janelle on BB6. I thought she was awesome. Then on BB7 she pissed me off with all the Will crap, but then she kicked him off so I still liked her. But I just hate her now. Flirting with Dick and saying he smells good is just so fucked up and gross. So gross.

And Dick calling anyone ugly is a fucking joke. Honestly, he is one of the most disgusting guys I've ever seen. And there's no way he's 44 he has to be lying.

I did like Daniele tonight, though, which was weird.

But overall I gotta say this is like the worst cast since BB4. And even in BB4 Alison was entertaining at times. There's just no one to root for.

I know. It makes me sad.

Instead of Janelle paying a visit, couldn't CBS get Dr. Phil to talk to the Donatos? I'd rather him hear their crap (off camera TVM) than us. I can't stand to watch their therapy unfold on my screen anymore.

I wished TBTP let Janelle DR about the flirting with Dick (assuming negative comments). It would have been a nice edit following Dick's DR of glee.

Did Eric throw the PoV competition? I though you only got dizzy when you spun around and followed the room. He covered his eyes with a pillow, so he shouldn't have been that dizzy to fall on his ass, right?

When Eric had to mimic Dick, I was fully prepared for spitting, swearing and smoking. I was not prepared for snot-rockets. Dick is truly grosser by the minute. I'd have to wear flip-flops with double socks in that backyard.

The dynamics of the show tonight were really interesting. Dick fawns over Janelle (I was actually amused by his response to her.) Janelle is probably very much like a lot of waitresses at seedy dives Dick likes. In fact, her demeanor toward him was very cocktail-waitressy. Smile and brush up against the guy and get a big tip. Disgusting, but profitable. Then there's Daniele, who is a Hooters waitress, a fact which maybe makes Dick uncomfortable? Weird, weird vibes all around.

Let me say, I hate Dick and I think any disrespect from Daniele he has coming in spades, but I think she was picking a fight with him over the waitress-stripper thing. If she was going to be offended at the disparaging of her career, she should have been pissed at Jess for telling the story, or all of them for laughing. She chose to be pissed at Dick alone. If she's trying to establish that she's distant from him, it's not working. They're playing the game together; they're going to be judged together.

It also cracked me up to hear her say that Eric's been weaselly, whereas she and Pops have been strategic. While Eric has indeed been quite weaselly, he's in this position because he kept a promise, which is more than Daniele has done once this whole game. She made promises to Kail, Jen, Amber, am I forgetting anyone? and they were broken instantly.

I'm voting for Eric to vote out Jess. I want to make him cry.

I can't believe it, I think I've become a Danielle fan. She's obviously the smartest player left in the game. Zach is also a pretty strategic thinker, but it doesn't count if you can't actually get anybody to do what you want. Danielle is rocking this game.

I feel really bad for Jessica. She totally screwed herself hitching her wagon to this loser. When she was in the bedroom wallowing, it seemed pretty clear she blamed Eric. Does anyone know if there was timeline continuity -- did she come around and end up making out with Eric *after* he botched the veto competition? Because if I were her (not that I ever would have let him kiss me in the first place), he'd be finished after that.

voting my ass off to evict jess just to make eric squirm.

I'm voting off Jessica and there is a link to her autovoter in her thread. I want Eric to get a heart attack on Thursday. And then cry like a baby.

Did I miss Janelle twirling around and around and around? On Sunday's show, I'm pretty sure the veto comp had already taped, so I thought the spinny preview was footage that we would see tonight. She was in the same dress but I don't think I saw it.

I don't think Eric threw the veto. If he had won it, then one of Dick or Daniele would be on the block and he and Jess would control the eviction. I think Eric just sucks. I don't think he's as great a competitor as he thinks he is.

How lame was that America's Tool task? I had thought that mimicking would mean that he adopts the mannerisms of Dick. Like spitting and cussing and whatever, and then sees if people catch on. What he did was more like apeing. It was really stupid.

Double eviction means that one of Jessica or Jameka goes home, then there's another whole fast forward HoH, veto and eviction, all in the same night. I'd love for Jessica and Eric to go out on the same night.

Did they add the veto sound effects in post-production? The buzzer clearly indicated a correct/incorrect answer, yet everyone acted surprised when the totals were revealed. I can't see why they would want to lessen the suspense for the viewing audience, so I'm guessing they existed for the competition. Weird.

ETA that it was wonderful to see Eric's awful penchant for saying rude, obnoxious, and untrue things about people for no reason come back to bite him in the ass on national television.

Finally, and episode that was full of gut busters with none of Dick's usual butt gusters. Who would have thought Dick imitating Eric would have been funnier that Eric imitating Dick? Although it was Zach's take on Eric was the funniest thing I've seen all season. Sweet Julie chicken, that guy can make me smile.

Is it just me, or do Zach and Daniele seem more comfortable with each other than she and Nick ever were?

They had to know whether they got them right in order to keep trying, so I have to think they knew pretty well how many they each got. Possibly the people on the other side couldn't hear the noise, so they couldn't compare. Also, they didn't keep a running count, and the contestants probably lost track to a degree.

I'm mad because they cut out Super Special Spinny Janelle, although I don't think she could've looked stupider if she tried anyway. She always said her type was "white trash with money" well there you go. Minus the money of course, but hey..she did look kinda desperate. And she went on another site YET AGAIN before the show because she just can't stand when people bash her, y'all.

And memo to Zach, you are not a dream crusher by any stretch, mkay?

Yeah, I thought Eric was supposed to mock someone, not mimic them directly. That was strange and boring. I'm sure if Jameka had been the pick Eric would've gone around the house saying inappropriate things about Jesus. Since it was Dick it was just harmless goofing around.

Bahhhhhhhhh!!! My eyes! My eyes! Watching Dick and Janelle "flirt" was just beyond GROSS. I was never a Janelle fan but my disgust has grown by leaps and bounds tonight. I suppose the idiots in charge heavily encouraged that whole charade. Yuck.

I have read several posts on other boards from people claiming that she was at Joker's one night, drunk again, and bragged about doing the banner. One poster said something about Joker's taking it all down after she (sobered up? requested it? something...)

Anyway, they say they were there while she was posting all about it, whether that is true? I don't know.

I also agree that Dick, much like Jess, has been away from sex for too long. Anything looks good after a while...at least for some people.

Aw man, I wanted to see the ridiculous Janelle spin from the teaser. I ran back from the laundry room just in hopes of seeing it. Ah well, she still gave a few good laughs. Such as to Dick: "You're such a gentleman." I liked how even Dick had to laugh at that.
Maybe I was just in a good mood, but tonights was a really fun show and I wish more were like that. The mimicing which Dick took in good fun, Eric almost falling over after the spinny chair, Dick's reaction shots to Janelle appearing, etc.
I guess the HGs must not know when the finale is, otherwise they would know theres a double eviction at some point.

I use to vote AP to mess with Eric's game but there's no point anymore. The vote I do believe is probably being conrolled no doubt by legions of teenage girls that don't want to interfere with Eric's showmance so what's the point?

Dick/Janelle sequence...just gold...pure gold.

Eric's a creep but he may have been on to something about that whole Dick/Dani incest vibe. Dani's comments about Dick/Janelle brings up that old saying "the lady doth protest to much" coupled with Dick's embarrasing pleadings to get Dani to pay attention to him as if she were his girlfriend makes me think Eric might not be off the mark.

Zach had this huge s@%t eating grin after the Veto competition when Dani came to see him...but what he doesn't know that he is in a Fool's Paradise...Zach is entirely in the Chicken George position that made last years Triathlon of HOH, Nominations and Veto comeptition capping with the eviction totally anti climatic...Chicken George was the only one they would sacrifice....and since none of the four in the allilance will betray each other Zach will be toast following Jameka right out the door.

Nobody is willing to shake up the game since sending Dustin home...all the boots have been predictable. The game has been in a straight jacket for weeks. Zach was the one hope to make things happen but he was too scared of Dick's wrath to take any chances.

Again if only they would stop confessionals during competitions...Dani's demenor was so upbeat I knew there was no way in hell that she didn't win the veto...stop it already!

I only know Janelle from what I saw tonite, and I respectfully ask that she never be on my TV again.

I really enjoyed the mimickry segment. From what we see on the show, Dick really does come off well fairly often. But not during his condescension to Daniele during the "why are you such a crappy person?" marathon.

That being said, I HATE HATE HATE Daniele. Tired of the smugness and gloating and (what I see as) superficiality. But she's played the best all around game all season. I can acknowledge that, alongside acknowledging what a horrible person she seems to be.

Was there really a Dick DR where he was complaining about Daniele, and he was saying that she just doesn't understand how she comes across when she talks to people? And Dick was weepy because some of the things that she says are hurtful?

That couldn't have happened. That would make Dick a huge hypocrite (...asshole) and he said that's he's not. He said that he's always truthful, and I've yet to see anything contradict that.

Bleargh.

Sweet chicken, I hope Jessica wins the AP vote. I want Eric to cry.

Jameka is very annoying. She's shocked -shocked!- that people are trying to win this game.

Seriously. I don't know if I will able to watch Thursday. My eyesight might not be back. After witnessing Father Time get his flirt on with poor man's Barbie I need to bleach out my mind's eye.

Daniele is right. I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Haven't been able to watch this ep yet. (hopefully it will be up on CBS 4 tomorrow) but did they show any signs of the three (Dustin, Jen and Amber) who have been sent to sequester. Usually they do this whole production number on them arriving at the sequester house watching the video and blah blah blah about how they are going to vote when the time comes, but that seems to be missing this year.

Nope, still no sign of the sequester house, and I doubt they'll have any time to show any of it this Thursday.

I like how Jessica decided to come to the veto meeting dressed as a stripper, just to keep the waitress/stripper thing going.

UGH. This week has really made me dislike her a lot - she's so whiny and entitled, and if she'd been soooooo sure she should have not trusted D&D, there was nothing forcing her to keep listening to America's Douchebag. She's the one that wasted her second HOH. And beyond that, it's like she's decided to not even play now that she's nominated, all I"ve seen her do is hide in some room/her bed and whine and moan to Eric. Has she even TALKED to Zach? Or anyone who might actually have the power to help save her?

I want Eric to have to be part of the group that votes her out, because it would make him miserable and it's weird, but the one moment all season I think was genuine - his freakout over omg, look what I've done to Jess, was actually the moment I hated him the most. Yeah, asshat, look what you did to Jess. You "really care about her" I'm sure, just not as much as the money you get from doing AP tasks. Whatever. Ass. His whiny snivelling and crying for the camera in his obvious "omg, America, please save Jess!" DR session was so gross. I can't stand Jameka either, but I want Jessica gone more.

It surprises me more and more that Daniele really does have some serious game in her. I kind of think at this point she's the only one that DOES deserve to win.

Did Eric throw the POV? Think about it, if he did save Jessica he would most likely be put up by Zach. I think he just saved himself.

I am so voting for Jessica just for the fun of it. Let's see if Eric throws away the cash to save his sweetie. I doubt it.

As much as I like Jessica and wish that she wasn't on the block, the fact that Eric felt responsible for her nomination and possible eviction was amazing. It stopped him from, at least for one week, gloating and being a complete douche. That's a great change of pace. I also realized that I would be okay with Jameka staying this week. Hopefully she can survive one more week, win HoH, and force a Donato eviction. Please, God? God, bless you.

Were the puzzles harder than the editors were letting on? Looking at the swirls in the Janelle-o-vision, I was spot on with most of my guesses (not to blow my own horn, mind you). When it was revealed that the highest score (Daniele's) was 7, not to mention that the lowest (Jameka's) was 2, I was pretty surprised. It just didn't seem all that difficult to me, especially with the HGs being given 4 minutes to compete.

Zach is a twit. With his high-fiving Daniele after her veto win and the way he falls for her flirty bullshit, the dude doesn't deserve $500,000. He's going up next week, along with Jameka, if a Donato wins HoH. And though he assumes Jameka will be evicted, he should be well aware that being in an alliance with a Donato isn't something of longevity. It's fairly obvious that a Donato is going to win this entire thing, and I'm resigned to that. Blech.

Can't Eric leave instead of Jessica? Please, God? Again? God, bless you.

If Eric had won POV, he wouldn't have gone up. If he had won and taken Jess off the block, Zach would've been forced to put either Dick or Daniele up.

What's more, in the DR he went on about Eric (?) being too power hungry or some such nonsense.

There aren't going to be any weekly sequester-house segments this year. In an article that's been discussed in the Media thread, TPTB said that they are only doing one sequester package towards the end of the series, although they haven't said when that will be yet. My money is on the day of the finale, just before the F2 Q & A starts.

Getting back to the episode, did anyone else laugh at Zach and Daniele's imitation of Eric and Jessica's bitch faces following the nomination ceremony? Zach was spot on!

Oh, and I'm totally voting for Jessica as the AP vote. Eric (who resembles a monkey more and more each week) deserves to squirm and suffer this week.

The spinning chair explains the spinning Janelle from Sunday night. What I don't get is how awkward she was hosting. She's been on this show twice so she should have been a lot smoother. Oh..I forgot. She was blinded by her love for Dick(Pun intended).

I was glad to see Dick refer to Eric as a dumbass when referring to his remarks about Janelle. But in the end, who will feel like a dumbass when they all realize Eric is walking off with possibly forty grand?

Zach was onto soething when he said get rid of Jessica. That makes the next competition between D & D and Eric. If one of them can't beat Eric in any kind of competition then they deserve to lose. Thursday could see the two "lovebirds" head for sequester. I hope Jessica keeps reminding him of how they got there.

Janelle has always been a terrible host. Her reading skills are better than only Amber.

I hate Richard as much as anyone else, but I must admit I laughed during his DR about Danielle. The comment "Does she think 'What?' is the same as "(whiny, snotty, annoyed) WHAAAAT?'" was so funny and a question parents of teenagers ask themselves everyday. That was good. Still hate him, though.

And Eric? If he feels so badly about Jessica, why doesn't he 'fess up, and say goodbye to the AP money. He'd probably be kicked out of the game, and then still lose the girl, but he might retain a shred of dignity and a little of her respect. Nah, probably not. WAAAAAAY too late for anyone's redemption at this point.

So, this was probably apparent to some already, but Dick totally hated Jen because she is as uneffected by his bullsh*t as Dani. Unfortunately for Dink, Dani has his balls because he is obligated to her as her father. How sad, but then hilarious because of how pathetic he seems when you think about this, and fascinating because of how this drama played out through Jen (and to a lesser extent all of the women, except for the one who closely resembles Dani physically, which is curious). I kind of appreciate this season in a "wow, that's some f-ed up psychology you got going on there" type of way.

And I still like Janelle because I think she was being completely sarcastic most of the time. She was humoring those numbskulls like she humors stunted middle-aged men at her hosting job, and Dick's reaction was hilariously humiliating. It also showed that Dani thinks a woman would have to be stupid to be attracted to her dad, which is funny because it's true. Some of the segment was gross, like, "I <3 your dress, Janelle!" and the fact that Dick is so hot for a woman who is possibly Dani ten years from now, but overall I think it made fun of most of the houseguests fairly appropriately.

Unfortunately, like the dunk tanks, none of this comes close to balancing out the craptasy that was most of this season until now.

(Jessica's dumb. I hugely overestimated her. Why align with someone you never trusted at all? Those are the one's you don't align with.)
