HoH/nominations.

[sidewinder76]

Adam = disgusting excuse for a Big Brother contestant and, dare I say, a man. What in the Sam hell did Jeff do for this guy that would make him such an undying sycophant? He could have gotten on his knees and sucked Jeff off on the air, and it wouldn't have shocked me more than that crap he was pulling. Danielle had it absolutely right when she said some folks (Adam) are just playing to write J/J a $500,000 check.

BYE JEFF! Oh, how I loved seeing his deluded ass booted out of that house. He's quick to call others out for having "puppets", and yet Adam is (or was) square in his back pocket as his puppet. And, as for floaters, he needs to look at his girlfriend, because she's one of the biggest floaters this season. Porsche/Kalia are playing to win. What is Jordan doing? Zilch.

As for Jordan, she really showed her true colors, didn't she? Bitch, please. Shelly is playing for Shelly, not for Jeff and Jordan. It took a while for her to come to her senses, but she finally has, and Jordan can't take it. Sorry for ya, sweetheart.

Rachel's phony tears when J(ackoff)eff was evicted were absolutely hilarious.

Too bad Porsche opened Pandora's Box. Ugh!

[ZSweetJane]

Excellent episode. I'm hoping for a Kalia/Porsche/Shelly final 3.

[LonePirate]

I will never tire watching Rachel cry like she was doing during the HoH after she realized she had no chance to win it. Few things about this show please me more than to see things not go her way. Of course, that was all turned upside down when she was so ecstatic after the Pandora's Box twist.

Porsche was simply phenomenal at that Serpentine HoH. She really did kick ass and take names. It's too bad she opened Pandora's Box. If she had seen previous seasons, she would have learned that nothing good ever happens to the HoH when it is opened.

[qeratify]

It's blatantly obvious the twist was added as a last minute addition to save Jordan & Rachel. Why does it even matter who's nominated? I don't get why they just didn't add a 2 minute nomination ceremony at the very end. Porsche's HoH was basically nullified. She can't even vote, she only has safety. I was really looking for the newbies to make it to the F4 together too.

I liked that they showed everything that happened the night before, and the events leading up to the eviction. How stupid of Jeff to call out Shelly hours before the HoH competition. Why not wait until AFTER you've won HoH? Way to make an enemy.

[LillyvonSchtupp]

How great was it to see that Shelly actually outed herself!? Eventhough it worked out for her, it was amusing to watch her squirm and throw Adam right under the bus in front of his face. And then on top of that, she tells Adam that she forgives him. She's something else.

[CK17]

Did they seriously let Jeff back in after he was evicted to do his DRs? Are you fucking kidding me?

They didn't show Porsche get her room? Really show? We didn't need a recap for 30 minutes.

Jordan "She used our big hearts against us." STFU. The entitlement of her is astonishing.

Adam is sorry excuse of a HG.

Not smart Porsche. However I'm guessing if she said no the pairs twist would of come back because of that. Anything to keep the vets in.

[lilshorty]

I thought Jeff came off pretty good tonight imo. Shelly was so blantantly lying this episode it disgusted me. I thought Jeff and Jordan both had a valid reason for being upset with her.

Big ups to Rach for pulling Jordan away from Shelly. I mean, who does that? Who walks in a room on a conversation where you're not invited, yells and gets in your face? It would have taken everything in the world for me to not have punched Shelly in the face.

It's too bad she opened Pandora's Box. If she had seen previous seasons, she would have learned that nothing good ever happens to the HoH when it is opened.

In BB11 Natalie spent time with her boyfriend who proposed to her. In BB12 Brendon had the chance to relax outside of the house and Matt got the Diamond Power of Veto.

ETA: Plus, Porsche got to split 10 G's.

Really loved that episode, even if it suffered a bit from the editors having too much good footage to work with (which is a nice change). I'm a fan of behind-the-scenes focus on strategy anyway, and that was an excellent anatomical dissection of the (long overdue) eviction of Jeff.

That being said . . . why does every twist on this show seem to favor Jordan? I'd like to give the producers the benefit of the doubt--that this reintroduction of the duos was pre-planned. But it seemed a little too conveniently deployed right when Jordan needed it most. Hmmm....

[TimWil]

Kalia to Shelly-"There's no crying in BIG BROTHER." Which fucking reality show does Kalia think she's on-ROAD RULES? Uggh.

I thought they'd just edit down Porsche's HoH room segment to make room for the Shelley/Jeff fight but to not show it at all? BWWWAAAAAAHHH! Porsche will be PISSED when she finds that out because she no doubt practiced her cheesecake moves to go with "Who wants to see my HoH room?" for at least a half hour. Is Porsche the only one who never got that segment shown on TV?

Question-if the Jeff/Shelly blowout started 75 minutes before the live show why do they refer to it as having happened that morning?

[sprtpilot]

Shelly is, quite simply, a bully. It is increasingly difficult to believe her story- of being a wife and mother, with some sort of (professional?) career. I think it will come out that she is actually "aunt" Shelly...

[Clare]

Adam actually came right out and said that he has to go with the power. He's the only guy in the house and all those women have bigger balls than he does.

It was a good game move on Shelly's part. She did have to get rid of Jeff but she really bugs me. I'm glad everyone knows she a liar now too.

Is is me or did Kalia look pissed when they were picking partners? She also looked like she wanted Jordan to pick her. Weird.

Pandora's Box was such a rig but at the end of the day it makes for better TV IMO.

[Marq DeCarabas]

Kalia to Shelly-"There's no crying in BIG BROTHER."

Which fucking reality show does Kalia think she's on-ROAD RULES?

Uggh.

I think she was making a joke.

[Breath We Drew]

I love how the only way to keep Jordan in this game is to blatantly rig it in her favor.

I'd love to see the newbies get to f4, but with production brushing Jordan's pretty blond her and holding her hand, no way in hell will that happen.

Edited by Breath We Drew, Aug 28, 2011 @ 8:19 PM.

[MissMally]

I can see why they want to keep Rachel and Jordan in though. I'm too lazy to do this, but if you count up all the airtime the vets had so far this season compared to the newbs it's probably significantly more. I think Shelly and maybe Kalia had a decent amount of airtime. Porsche was a complete non-entity on the show up until very recently. This season has been heavily focused on the vets, why stop now?

That being said, what a waste of an episode. So much freaking crying. Show us something else!

[netful]

It was a great episode, right up until the last few minutes. I understand that someone as young as Portia is going to have a hard time saying no to $5000. But why do I feel like that twist would have been somehow thrown in no matter what choice she made?

And Rachel, I'm having a hard time understanding why you would be mad at Jeff for throwing the veto competition, but not mad at him for VOTING TO EVICT your stupid fiancee. And, while I'm at it, why are you so insecure that you just can't call Brendon by his name? He's the one that's doing that to you, you know. At least, you should know.

[JosiePie]

I actually had the ridiculous thought that since we had seen Adam practicing the challenge, he might win. Way to go Dead-Last-Adam!

[Mita_Jo]

How stupid of Jeff to call out Shelly hours before the HoH competition. Why not wait until AFTER you've won HoH? Way to make an enemy.

That was all Shelly's fault. She saw that he was upset and she kept on poking. She went to Adam, all nervous and paronoid. Then she bursts into that room when Adam and Jeff are talking and I may have missed it, but no one said that she did anything and she flipped out about how they were talking about her. Blatantly lying about Adam the whole time. I actually thought Jeff was pretty calm in the situation, even though he got loud. Shelly was the one who seemed the most boisterous.

Dani would have still left and Jeff would have still been voted out, I believe, even if things hadn't blown up before the first eviction and Kalia still won HOH. The fact that she continued with the ruse that she was still with them, even though she was voting Dani to stay, makes me believe that she was going to blame it on Adam and do whatever she could to stay in Jeff and Jordan's good graces. The DE came at the perfect time for her indeed, because if they had waited a week, there is no telling who she would have thrown under the bus and how much ass-kissing she was going to have to do.

I think she did the right thing for sure, voting Jeff out and trying to keep Dani. However, the way she has gone about doing things in this game thus far brought her to that place and I really, really hope that she suffers the consequences some more.

but not mad at him for VOTING TO EVICT your stupid fiancee. And, while I'm at it, why are you so insecure that you just can't call Brendon by his name?

netful, the reason why she calls him that all the time is because she just likes saying "fiance". She's happy to be getting married and is still in that phase where she's excited about being engaged. I imagine when the wedding is over and done, she'll be referring to him as "husband".

[Busy Bee]

So how come none of the player saving twists happen when a newbie has been in danger of going? A pair twist that ensures BOTH Rachel and Jordan could be made safe this week? That is just toooooo much. If any of the newbies manage to make it to the finals, I hope when they are asked what they did to get there their answer is, "successfully thwarted all of productions attempts to make us lose against the vets!" sheesh.

[DS1]

I think Shelly has good gameplay, but she cares way too much about what other people think about her. It's a little weird.

[CassandraRedux]

Shelly is a terrible liar, lucky for her everyone in the house is colossally stupid.

The trend of being awful winners continues. I keep rooting for the losers just to see the smug leave faces. Thank you, Pandora.

[PreTense]

Enjoyable episode even if most everything happened last Thursday. One question though -- some of the Diary Room sessions seemed to be recorded between Kalia winning HOH and the eviction of Jeff. If the live episode happened in real time when were the DR sessions recorded? It didn't seem like enough time elapsed for them to get taped.

Adam surprised me a lot when he showed some spine by joining Jeff in confronting Shelly about her "betrayal". Of course he quickly reverted to form and stunk out the joint in the snake-eyes competition. After which he said it's time to slither over to the newbie's side again. Instead, go back to Hoboken you complete waste of space!

I'm liking the newbies, sans Adam, more and more -- it turns out they do have some game. Although opening Pandora's Box was a bad, bad move. Porsche's side was in the catbird's seat before she let curiosity get the better of her. I'll cut her some slack though because I agree with other posters and believe CBS would have found another way to change the rules midstream if Porsche hadn't opened it.

Go Porsche!

[peachmangosteen]

I wish we could've seen the Jeff/Shell/Adam altercations on the feeds because I'm 99% sure that Jeff would have came off much worse if we'd have seen the whole fight. They have a tendency to edit out all his worst bits.

I actually kinda have to give it to TPTB, they just went balls out with transparency with this new twist.

I love that Jordan's still whining about people doing nothing in this game when she's done exactly zilch. And she did only slightly more in her original season and won. Get some self-awareness.

Sometimes I'm amazed by Rachel's ability to be fake at all times. I don't think we've ever seen her have a genuine moment in 2 seasons. It's kinda sad. And very annoying. Actually, I think when the PB twist was announced, her glee at how blatantly obvious it was that it was to help J/R was probably real.

And J/J, B/R, et. al have never had the smug-face? The vets got everything their entitled, whiny, deluded selves deserved tonight. Damn you, Pandora!!

[CarmelEyes]

"The Powers That BE" has once again introduced a twist in the game to protect Jordan. This is crazy; Jordan is one of the biggest floaters in the game. The only reason she was HoH is because Jeff and Brendan didn't even try; they gave it to her. Adam is useless and Shelly is just plain crazy. Yes, I'm glad Shelly voted to evict Jeff; but that woman can't be trusted just a little bit. She lies so much that she convinces herself of her lies.

[Scinovium]

The PB's has to be one of the best late season twist that BB has come up with. Just when the newbies had the power, it got nullified quickly. This has to be one of the most strategically bankrupt cast I've seen. It makes me miss Survivor.

One of my favorite was Jordan's reasoning that since Jeff took Porsche off the block the week prior, that she expected Porsche to do the same... you know, like how Danielle didn't backdoor Jeff, so he shouldn't ... wait, what? Oh yeah, he DID backdoor her. Haha.

I like how Jeff's doing everything for "us", when it mostly benefit him. You can still be a team and evict the person that you think its best for your game.

[pitchnduel]

If it took Jeff leaving to unleash fiesty Jordan, then count me in. I was really ready to credit Shelly for timing her flip almost perfectly, but then she ruins it by storming in on Jordan right after she flipped and almost demanding an apology. Just let it lay for a bit, Shelly. Then, Jordan rather awesomely stood right up to her. I loved it. Also, Jordan has now finished 2d in the last 2 HoH comps. Just saying...

I'd feel a lot better about Shelly if she'd admit that: 1) she made a good game move for herself; AND 2) she betrayed J/J. It's all of the above. The two are not mutually exclusive...

The only reason she was HoH is because Jeff and Brendan didn't even try; they gave it to her.

That's as much Jeff and Brendon's egos talking as anything. They're assuming they would have beaten her. They could never know for sure. Same thing with Adam's veto that was "given" to him by Jeff and Dani. They're also just assuming they could have beaten him.

I thought it was great that Shelly finally got called out on all of her crap. She had already flipped and wasn’t going to save him. Loved watching her have to scurry around like the cockroach that she is trying frantically to do damage control knowing that if he goes out pissed at her she has no chance of winning the game. She totally blew herself up as there’s no way any of the vets will vote for her now.

[lilshorty]

Yeah. I was expecting Jeff to come all down on Shelly or something, but she caused it all on herself with her spying, meddling, and lying. Or perhaps, that was just the part that the producers and editors only wanted to show. What got me, Shelly said that Jeff was only thinking about himself. I was surprised that Jeff was intelligent enough to counter, "No, I'm thinking about the team...the one you're trying to backstab," considering he is pretty arrogant and a little bit of tool.

[Mita_Jo]

One question though -- some of the Diary Room sessions seemed to be recorded between Kalia winning HOH and the eviction of Jeff. If the live episode happened in real time when were the DR sessions recorded? It didn't seem like enough time elapsed for them to get taped.

The HGs are asked to give their take on what happened previously and, I believed, coached on how to say it in a way that makes it seem like its done in real time. Most of the DR sessions were likely done after the double eviction.

As for Jeff's DRs about his eviction, I thought that most of his were about finding out that Shelly betrayed him, so they could have been done before the live show started or the day before, which I when I think Rachel went to him in the bathroom. If there were some DRs about him being evicted, I'm sure that there is a back door somewhere in the studio that he was brought in to do his DR reactions to the events of that day. There have to stick around to do the exit interview with Julie and other press interviews. Or, since its basically a set, they could have constructed it in the jury house.

you know, like how Danielle didn't backdoor Jeff, so he shouldn't ... wait, what? Oh yeah, he DID backdoor her. Haha.

Not to defend Jeff (ok, I totally am) but if Dani had any power that week the whole BD Jeff plot got exposed (week 3), she would have. The reason she didn't after, when she was HOH, was because she was more threatened by Brendon (and Rachel as a team), who left and came back after she got rid of him the first time.
