I anticipated that Tuesday’s episode would be a good one, and I was not disappointed. Not only did it have all the backstabbing and whispered conversations I could hope for, but Big Brother also threw in bunny suits and buckets of funk!Initially it seemed as though Dick and Daniele were on the outs with their alliance. By (somewhat accurately) accusing Eric of disloyalty, they inadvertently put themselves under the microscope for scrutiny.
When it came time for the veto competition, most of the houseguests were determined to have the shiny trinket placed around their neck. Dustin, however, proved yet again that he isn’t a hardcore gamer. He didn’t make it past the first round!
Poor Jameka was once again put in a compromising situation. She had very little to lose, but her allegiance to the group was strong enough for her to make incredible sacrifices. First she turned up her nose at $10,000. Wow. Then she was willing to sit out of the next five HoH competitions. That girl was in it to win it.
Of course everyone has a breaking point. The final component of this intense competition asked how much of the grand prize (up to $250,000) the houseguests would sacrifice in order to win the veto. Wisely, Jameka realized she was in over her head.
It wasn’t until later that Jameka recognized the potential consequences of her decisions. But it is just a game, and I personally don’t think she needed to ask God to forgive her, especially so…graphically. I can appreciate the power and importance of prayer, but can’t you go about it silently? Sometimes I picture God sitting on a cloud saying, “Oh no. Don’t drag me into this.”
Fortunately Big Brother can’t stay somber for more than a minute. What better to negate Jameka’s impassioned plea than by showing Jen trying to look fashionable in a bunny suit. Classic.
Still, Jameka wasn’t the only one to bet big in the challenge. Jen and Kail will be on slop for 30 days. Kail also won’t compete in the next five HoH competitions (if she’s still around, that is). Most astonishingly, Jen will only receive half of the prize money if she wins the game. I bet having to cut her hair doesn’t seem so bad now.
Once Jen won the veto again, it was a given Eric would be the replacement. The real question remained (and remains), how much does the house trust Eric? Jessica seemed to waffle, but Dustin and Jameka are more resolute. Frankly I’d be disappointed to see Eric go home. If he ends up leaving, the guilt lies with us America! Our against-the-consensus voting requests are what caused this trouble to begin with.
On the other hand, I feel bad for Daniele too. Although she might not know the real reasons why, Eric is the rogue voter, and that’s a threat. To make matters worse, her number one ally is also her father, and that man is a psychopath. The words that come out of his mouth are far nastier than the brown funk the veto players had to shower in.
Other thoughts:
+ Eeyore, also known as Zach, does not add much to the show. I hope he is voted out soon, because I don’t care for his Debbie Downer comments, “I don’t have any friends here…People hate me for some reason.”
+ Never let Amber emcee the challenges. For some irritating reason she emphasized EVERY word when READING the veto Instructions.
+ How many times has Kail muttered something to the effect of “Well…this isn’t going as I hoped…I’m not sure what’s going to happen…all I can do is hope for the best…but I’m really nervous…”? Get angry, woman!
+ Who do you think is going home Thursday? Ideally, who would you like to see become the next HoH?

eric is going home and I hope Jen or Dick wins HOH.
I think it may be close with Amber being the swing vote. Since I don't like Amber and she has been on an antijew tirade I look for her to vote Eric and he will be gone. I hope Dick is not HOH, but with that veto competition I have a hard time remembering who is eligible to compete. Ideally I would like Eric to stay, win HOH, and get rid of the psychopath. Since I don't look for that to happen getting Zach or Jessica off the fence as HOH would be interesting.
Eric may be able to pull it out yet...I look for Amber to vote for Kail because of the fact that she isn't ready to put the target on herself and she know she will if she sides with the Donato Cartel.
I've honestly had it with Dick and wouldn't mind if Julie Chen just looked at him through the TV and said, 'in a twist, Dick, we're kicking you out because you're a bullying, crude piece of--'...Wait a second, we're talking about the Chen-Bot here.
Anyway, I hope that Eric can hang around long enough to see Dick leave.
Taste God...
I would love to see Eric make it through tonight because I think he might get serious about pursuing Dani and Dick as HOH, but I don't think he will. The message boards say Dick has been warned about about his behavior twice but CBS desperately wants to hold onto him for ratings.
