One down, 12 to go.So long, Carol, we hardly knew you. Amber's tears may have been a bit excessive, but it appeared as though Carol lacked the passion to play the game and that the other houseguests recognized this. America, too, seemed underwhelmed with Carol as the masses decided to have America's Player, Eric, vote against her as well.
Overall this was a pretty lackluster episode. The interviews with Dick's family and Eric's friends revealed nothing of interest -- although it did momentarily make me reevaluate the dynamic between Dick and Daniele. Could Dick, despite his laundry list of flaws, prove more sympathetic than his daughter?
It wasn't until after the eviction that things started to pick up. First we got to watch Carol's reaction to the snide comments Jessica had been making all week. Carol handled herself with a decent amount of grace, opting to pity her former BFF rather than spew some four-letter words.
After that came the HoH competition, a standard multiple choice quiz about the houseguests. Four players made it to the tiebreaker, which asked the players to guess how much liquid it would take to fill the spinning teacup chair in the BB backyard. While nine gallons seems like surprisingly little, Jen's double-digit estimate was close enough to give her the win....causing me to stare at the TV completely befuddled.
I really feel bad for the other houseguests this week. How do you negotiate and strategize with someone so vain and clueless? My advice: flattery. Nick may very well feel the need to kiss and make up based on this power shift.
I think it's a safe assumption that Dick will be one of the two nominees--Jen has been outwardly unpleasant toward him from the onset. The second houseguest in the hot-seat? Perhaps it will be Daneile seeing as how Jen seems threatened by her influence over the menfolk. We shall see.
I, too, felt like crying when Jen won HoH.
