09/04 - The Dream Crushers

Warning: a code-red funk has infiltrated the slop supply and infected the houseguests. With only a few weeks left, it seems as though the final six are ready to resume their outside lives.

The first example of this was the silly spat between Dick and Daniele due to his comparison of waitresses to strippers. Was it a stupid remark? Yes. Did Daniele overreact? Yes. Is the strain of the house breaking down their patience? Hell yes.

I’m just waiting for the moment until Dick starts muttering, “All work and no play makes Dick a dull boy.”

The isolation is also taking its toll on Eric: he was an emotional wreck due to his strategic missteps that led to Jessica’s current nomination. The crazy thing is that Eric seemed to want Jameka and Jess to feel sorry for him, even though they are the ones on the block.

Eric’s actions and words are hard to decipher due to the America’s Player twist. He talks about wanted to protect Jessica, but he full-out flounders when it comes to competitions. And he must be uncommonly naïve as well if he thinks Dani and Dick are uber-loyal. Shouldn’t one con artist be able to identify another?

The veto competition saw the return of Janelle, also known as Jedi Janey. Assuming the role of host, Janelle led the houseguests in the sort of challenge she excelled in during seasons six and seven. Fittingly, the former veto queen handed the trinket over to her successor, Dani.

After weighing the options, Janelle Junior decided not to use the veto. Sadly, I think this spells the end of Jessica, but it was the smartest move for the double D’s to make.

Other thoughts:

+ As a strong, independent woman, Janelle should have kneed Dick in the crotch rather than flirt with him. (Same thing with Jess: don’t kiss Eric, kill Eric! He totally highjacked your HoH week.)

+ As if Dick’s snot rockets weren’t gross enough, we had to see Eric fling phlegm across the yard too. Thanks a lot, Big Brother.

+ Are any of you going to check out Kid Nation? Despite the controversy (or maybe because of it), CBS seems to promote it every commercial break.

+ Who wants to share their final four predictions? Once Jess leaves I bet Eric is next.

I won't be watching Kid Nation because of all the controvery, especially the breaking of child labor laws. I am hoping (wishful thinking) that Eric has been throwing the HOH comps because he doesn't want America ruining his game plan or alliance. When Jessica leaves Thursday I am hoping that Eric realizes he has no alliance and goes after HOH. It will be very difficult to get rid of one of the Ds because America will probably go for a Jameka nomination but Eric could go after one of the D with his other nomination. I have no problem believing Zach would turn on the Ds and vote for one of them to leave. The other D would vote for them to stay. If America controls Eric in a tie breaker then Jameka would go. It would involve incredible series of events to get out a D. Eric would have to win HOH. Eric would have to make a deal with Zach in exchange for not putting Zach up and Zach, Jameka, or Eric would have to win and use the POV to take Jameka off. That could then put both Ds up and break up the last alliance and if you go by the CBS popularity poll Dani would be the one America votes to go. That leaves Dick who has no game other than intimidation. If none of this happens I think Jameka will go next. Everyone knows Eric has been shady, just not why he is shady. I think the remaining players will prefer to go to the final four with Eric rather than Jameka. Although some would see her as a floater other's on the jury would respect that she has survived the game being unable to compete in 5 HOH comps.
