Holly Craps - 
by B-side
Anyway, the questions began and for a while, things seemed to be going well. April had messed up, and Janelle was still in the running. Julie Chen even showed some sexy flair as she casually tossed her hair in between questions. Who knew the Chelmet could be so movable? But alas, the good times ended as Janelle missed one and then two questions. You're killing me, Janey. Killing me. Ultimately, the competition came down to a tie-breaker between Ivette and Maggie, with the latter throwing the whole thing so (I imagine) her frustrated friend could finally win something.
Upon hearing her name called as the new HOH, Ivette immediately freaked out and... ran to the big chaise-longue to cry? Huh? You know, I shouldn't make fun. Whenever I hear good news, I usually go running for the nearest piece of lawn furniture also. I don't know. It's very comforting.

As you can imagine, however, with Ivette's victory, I felt less like embracing my Costco patio chair and more like chucking it into the nearest pool, Mischa Barton style. Tuesday's veto ceremony is gonna kill me. Until then, feed-watchers, please keep spoilers out of the comments.
What did you think about the show?

Priceless. Kudos after I wipe the gatorade (tm) off my monitor.

This season is gonna be a repeat of Season 4.
Two people at the end, who no one likes and no one in North America wants to see win.

Great recap B-Side! I was watching the show with my friend Will and I think his exact words, upon learning the nature of the CBS news special report on the death of the Chief Justice was: "He'll still be dead in another 1/2 hour, can't they wait? We need to see who wins the POV!!!" I told him he was going to burn in hell and we continued to enjoy the show. Great show and great recap.

"Or fifty-seven, assuming you're using base-ten, not base-IDIOT."
You're the best person ever.
You should have included a sound clip of our favourite Chenbot saying, "buttocks" on the sixth (I believe) question in the HoH Competition.

WTF!?! My ears are STILL bleeding from listening to Holly! I'd like to know what the Hell we all did to deserve that, CBS!
On April blubbering to Maggie: You know Maggie had her head in her hands most of the time to hide a)how annoyed she was, and b)that she was desperately trying to figure out how she could get away with screwing April over while still appearing to be the most righteous and morally superior martyr in all of BB history.
You have to give it to her though. The sheep actually felt SORRY for HER after the veto ceremony! That was some serious, Grade A, mindfucking going on there.

the three-way tie went to a two-way tie between janelle and maggie. the question was one of those chalk board deals about the number of keys in the mud.

My big question... Who cares anymore? This show needs to END and get on with Fall Programming. *yawn*
Btw, great recaps, B-side and J-Unit!!! I don't watch the show anymore but I keep reading the recaps and comments out of habit.
I doubt I will watch next year. Even with the TVGasm hype, this show has been a major snooze fest.

Thanks for the shout out Grace. Ahhh, seeing April break down in the DR reminded me of even happier times when Ivette was crumpled on the HOH floor last week. My Janie let me down....but I still have faith. The force be with you!!

I am increasingly concerned that the stupid Ivette-pawn" will make it to the 8th row on the Big Brother conceptual chess board and get promoted to a queen (ie win the whole game). She's already guaranteed James and Beau to vote for her if she gets to the final two. Take the bitch out!
I guess only a miracle can prevent Howie or Janelle from leaving this week.
And Beau had the shortest chenterrogation in Big Brother history - maybe the producers were worried that Beau's inarticulateness would cause The Chenbot mainframe device (which I imagine as being like an early 1960s computer - ie as big as a room with cogs, banks of flashing lights, dials and steam coming out of tubes) to irretrievably melt-down.

Ivette and April both took themselves out of the veto at the end, didn't they? They knew Janelle wouldn't change anything and both thought they knew what Maggie would do. Ivette said earlier that she wouldn't use the veto on herself if she won, but wanted Maggie to take her off.
Thanks for the audio of April boohoo-ing. That makes me laugh so hard. Every time.

"The two of them, with Beau, go down as the Holy Trinity of people we'd most like to throw into a volcano."
Fuckin'-A. Everything about Ivette is like fingernails scraping down a chalkboard. God, I wish I could be there when she finds out how hated she is. And Maggie, with the whole 'morals' speech? Oh, please. And then, of course, she had to follow up that little bit of self-righteousness by throwing the HOH comp to Ivette, whose couch-biting moment was only barely less infuriating than Holly referring to her hands as 'paws.'. The only thing that makes me sicker than the thought of Janelle leaving the house next week is the possibility that Ivette might be the one to send her packing.
Posted by: jack | September 5, 2005 7:54 AM(#11 of 30)
Things I am not looking forward to:
Ivette going on and on about how she finally triumphed over "evil".
Maggie winning the whole competition and acting all holier than thou but saying she couldn't have done it without the friendship.
They seriously pain me to think about. All we needed was at least one more week and the numbers would be even. The comp. wasn't even fair, all those questions were about friendship people. Although it looked like Janey was cheating.

Holly is the most ridiculous contestant in BB history. And that's saying something. Why would CBS inflict her on us again??

B-Side -- great recap! Loved it loved it loved it!!!
So many comments to make ... can only type so fast ...
Maggie = sanctimonious hypocrit w/expanding butt (personally, I think the question about her weight came from Cappy. He's just delusional enough to think she's shrinking .. or maybe it's b/c she hasn't been riding him recently)
Ivette = soulless idiot who DESEPARATELY needs to expand her vocabulary. Seriously. My 5 year old has a more expansive vocabulary than Ivette does. And it's so very sad that she to is so sanctimonious. Maybe that is the tie that binds the FiendSheep together...they all recognized their own horrible character traits in one another and bonded over them.
Bo = wallpaper paste. You know it's there, you know it served a purpose, you just aren't sure why it was necessary in the first place.
April = Crypt Keeper. Lobotomy patient. Escapee of Shady Pines (great reference point dude!!)
Howie = frat boy. Harmless. Stupid. Fun. Harmless.
Janelle = every HG's fantasy girl. That's why Ivette is so rancid towards her -- Iv wants Janey in the worst way and it's never gonna happen so Iv has gone on the automatic defense and can only say mean spirited nasty comments to placate herself since she knows she'll never have Janey. And PS have you seen the pics of Iv's girlfriend? She looks like Screetch.
Holly = a reason to be thankful to have NOT been in the house last summer. Man what purpose did she serve? To let this years' HG's grateful for one another since they weren't stuck w/someone that sounded like this twit?!

I think one of the best parts of the show was the way Janey kept looking at Holly during the POV. I don't know if it was determination or if it was what she might have been thinking: "What the hell is wrong with you? Did someone just blow you up and hand you a microphone?" Janelle never smiled once during the competition.
Posted by: Tammy Ames | September 5, 2005 10:57 AM(#15 of 30)
Maybe CBS used Holly as a retaliation against us for overloading there servers with votes for Kayser and Janey.

I can't do this anymore, seriously-It's fucking with my head... I HATE THEM, I HATE THEM, I HATE THEM!!!!!

I had to laugh last Saturday. . . my little sis (only 13) commented re: Julie Chen "God! She can't even talk! And she moves like a frikkin' robot!"
Posted by: EROSion | September 5, 2005 4:57 PM(#18 of 30)
I'm holding on to a ridiculous semblance of hope that the mircle will happen else I'm done. I even worked out ridiculously complicated sceanrios in which Janey could somehow be saved but I think I'm hitting a brick wall. What am I doing spending time actually thinking about this!?! Reality TV stole my brain but TVgasm helps restore it with wit and cynicsm-phew.
Posted by: zia | September 5, 2005 5:06 PM(#19 of 30)
Could Maggie be any more self righteous with her morals speech? Sick-making. IMO, Maggot threw the HOH to let Ivette do some of her dirty work, leaving her looking squeaky morally clean.
When Howie won HOH, my faith had been restored. Now with this terrible soul Ivette as HOH, I have lost all hope again. And the possibility that this skank could end up winning it all- oh the horror!
Posted by: Maggot Full of Morality | September 5, 2005 5:13 PM(#20 of 30)
Beau talking about sword fighting in the dark: classic!
Janelle not letting Maggie talk to Howie alone: great thinking!
Holly and her voice: just grate.
ha!
P.S. So now it comes out from some sources that 'everyone' knew that N.O. would eventually get flooded. It was just a matter of time. And no one did any about it. Or even enough about it. So what kind of disaster recovery does L.A. have? Hope they are not relying on Charlton Heston; he was really young when he made that movie - now he's closer to Mose's age. And will Janelle be safer in 'whine' country? :)
Posted by: ha! | September 5, 2005 5:17 PM(#21 of 30)
(Sniff) Good bye, Janey! It's got to happen this week. No way Ivette doesn't get her way. So, that'll put Howie in the unenviable position of dealing with the three witches of BB. Well, at least it'll be only for one week. Let's see: who'll get put up with him, though? Ivette? That should make for some great comments after Howie's gone and the Cuban ass ( I can say that, I'm Cuban and can't stand the c**t.) realizes that Maggie and April don't want her 'round no mo'. That will be the best week, watching her bleat and piss and moan how the two of them just don't understand what sacrifices she made, how many candles she lit at Cappy's altar.
Damn. Just realized that, in a way, Cappy will win by seeing his ER buddy win. Aw, shit, just ruined my week!
This may be my last post this season, as there's no way I'm watching 24 again. Enough hard perimeters and stupid secret anti terrorist groups who couldn't spot Osama if he were rooming with them.
Been watching an outstanding show, B & J, how about jumping on the "Rescue Me" bandwagon? Outstanding show with a fairly unknown cast. Denis Leary has rescued his career in grand style.
One last time (I think). B-Side and J-unit, you have been outstanding. I hope you'll continue your labor of love. I can honestly tell you I would have passed on BB6 were it not for your posts.

JEsus give me the strength to live through a week of Ivette on a power trip. Shes probably copnvinced she "earned" it too.
Someone needs to tell Holly that Bangs are so 2002. That and being severely mentally retarded.
Posted by: EdHill | September 6, 2005 7:15 AM(#23 of 30)
How 'bout the freakin' bear suit/shawl that April had wrapped around her for the veto ceremony? Did she accidentally drag a bathmat out after praying at her porcelain altar?!?
Watching April's braying gave me such unabashed glee that it all but secured my nice, hot, toasty seat in hell.
Tony A. (#22)...stick around. I enjoy your comments immensely. I'm right with you on the "Rescue Me" bandwagon. The problem, however, is that "Rescue Me" is so well-crafted that a snarky recap would almost be redundant. Believe me, I've thought about that too.

On Reality Blurred from
April "Oh yeah,on behalf of “The Friendship� I need to apologize to America for a return on their present (Kaysar), we could tell this week when Janelle won America’s Choice (phone call from Michael) that America wasn’t happy with us. The only reason for Kaysar going home was for strategy, we loved him.�
When I read the headline
"apologize to America",I thought she was feeing bad for calling America "shit"
but I should have known better.
I agree that Moral Maggie threw the comp so she wouldn't have to do any dirty work and can slide into a win with clean hands and a clean conscience.

The surprise appearance of Holly shocked my Tivo into deleting all past and future recordings of BB6.
Posted by: America's Next Top Fan | September 6, 2005 9:10 AM(#26 of 30)
Maggie is the purest of evil, the type of evil that smiles at you, then slits your throat. I hate her.
April is a tragic mess and I enjoy seeing her cry and wimper, much like Pepperoni.
Janelle should slap Yvette across the face, just for fun.
I suspect Janelle will be gone this week, unless she wins the veto. I'm so sad!
I'm glad that squealing queen was kicked out. I cannot believe what a waste of a houseguest he was, he had nothing coherent to say, had no point of view, or any input to the show. I suspect he slept with a much older casting director.
Posted by: katieshole | September 6, 2005 9:43 AM(#27 of 30)
I love listening to Chenbot trying to say "houseguests". All those s's trip her sinuses up and the nosejob can't handle it.
Posted by: Jess | September 6, 2005 9:47 AM(#28 of 30)
The Rehnquist newsbreak came on during the veto comp in central time, which is the same feed as East Coast. Does that mean they re-played a recorded newsbreak as breaking news during the West Coast feed? Weird. We too were spared more Holly screeching. Could this have been a gift from Rehnquist to America?

awwwwe, why was my old hag Bwusto cwying???? I thought that she didn't CAYYYYY_URRRRR about the money. What really sucks about that is that she will win it and bury it in a hole so wittle pwepperoni can dig it up and crap on it. Oh and Jennifwhore would take a piece of it to buy some whore toys.
