She Could... Go... All. The. Way. - 
by B-side
Well, the house guests all taped goodbyes, and surprisingly, April forgave Howie for his obnoxious behavior, which was either pretty big or pretty stupid of her, depending on your outlook. Maggie, meanwhile, said, "Thank you so much for all the laughter you brought to this game." Laughter? Wait, she actually thought Howie's jokes were funny? I suppose she watches Yes, Dear too.
After Howie's interview, we then were told about the new America's Choice. This time, whoever won would get to spend a day on the set of Two and a Half Men. Normally, I'd organize a Janey campaign again but a) the polls close at like 7 AM tomorrow, and b) I'm not sure spending a day on the Two and a Half Men set is what I call a reward.
Finally, it was time for the Head of Household competition, that weekly event that always brings me one step closer to cardiac arrest. This week, we revisited our old friend, the Before & After game. Julie would ask whether a Big Brother event happened before or after another Big Brother event, and the house guests had to respond in kind by stepping on either a "Before" space or an "After" space.
Now here's the thing. It's pretty much common knowledge that Janelle must win every HOH competition from here on out. Unfortunately, things looked bleak for her tonight. Well, maybe not to all of you folk, but at least to me. You see, someone had emailed J-Unit a spoiler, and about an hour or two before the show, he told me that the entire telecast had been destroyed for him. He then spent the next two hours moping around with a long and dejected face. Surely, I would be in for a massive disappointment.
Anyway, the competition got underway, and all in all, Janelle was doing pretty well. We did have an obligatory Chenbot meltdown when April took too long to make a decision. "PLEASE STEP NOW, APRIL!!" yelled the Chenbot, momentarily becoming the Gothbot yet again. (Technically, she never stopped being the Gothbot, but I just got sick of writing it. Chenbot is just so much more fun.)
After four questions, the score stood Janelle 4, Maggie 3, and April 2. This looked encouraging, but then again, J-Unit had that sad face. Surely this would end in disappointment for me. But wait, Janelle got another right. And another. And then the score was Janelle 6, Maggie 4, and April 3. And there were only seven questions, which meant... IT WAS A LOCK! JANELLE WON HOH!!!!
Before the last question was even asked, J-Unit suddenly bounced up from the couch with a triumphant smile, and after high-fives were shared all around, he revealed that even though he had read the spoiler, he still wanted to misdirect me. "You have no idea how hard it was for me to contain myself," he sighed with a wide grin. Props to J-Unit. Props indeed.
Well, Janelle handily won the competition with a perfect score of 7 for 7, and as The Friendship congratulated her with unhappy smiles, Janelle bubbled, "I DID IT!!" Sure, it wasn't as wonderful as "Bye Bye Bitches!!!" but it was worth the price of admission. Later, as the Chenbot killed time, she asked Janelle the viewer-submitted question on everyone's minds: "What was it like growing up in Minnesota?"
Huh?
It's not like Minnesota is some wacky place that no one's ever been to. I don't know if I should make fun of the viewer that sent that in or the producers for putting it on the air. How about I do neither and simply coast in the pure triumph that is Janelle's victory. The good news is that she's now ensured a spot in the final three, and given that the last HOH contest is usually of the endurance variety, she should have the leg up on the other girls. But you never know. Go Janey!
What did you think? How excited were you when Janelle won?

Yes, we know Janelle won't get the half mil, but if she continues to kick ass she'll get the 50K, which will wipe the smirks off the bitches of the Friendship. Naggie will likely be the winner, but who do you think will get kicked out last?
Loved seeing Jen squirm and die between Rachel and James. She was absolutely PISSED!
Lame Howie...let me count the ways he f***ed up...nah, only one incident counts, losing control because he made a deal with Naggie! Ugh!

SMACK, SMACK!
That's the sound of Ivette's mom beating the crap out of her after the show. I was rolling on my side when Ivette's mom questioned her actions to date. "Ivette should get her head out of Maggies Ass and realize she didn't go to make friends but to win Money!" And then, Tushie (who really isn't that ugly at all, I think just a bad photo) says she too hates Crappy!!! And the cherry on top was that Tushie likes Janelle too!!
Maybe this world isn't so bad after all.
Go Jedi Janey!!
And another great Recap B-Side! I think I will be in BB withdrawl after the shows over. Oh wait, its TAR time again!!
P.S. VOTE FOR JEDI JANEY!!
Posted by: CopyCat | September 9, 2005 4:35 AM(#2 of 98)
I really hope Janelle wins the America's Choice vote. Yeah, the prize is horrible, but I guarantee it will send either Ivette or April into a hysterical bout of crying. And that's good t.v.
Here's the link to the voting site: http://www.cbs.com/primetime/bigbrother6/_polls/amc_poll.shtml
Posted by: 33Jones | September 9, 2005 4:39 AM(#3 of 98)
I, for one, have voted for Janie on CBS at least a zillion times since last night. The poll is open until 9am Pacific time today.
If just to see Evilette and Ape burst into tears once again as they finally come to the realization that nobody likes them, it will have been worth it!
Posted by: stephen | September 9, 2005 4:40 AM(#4 of 98)
Bye Bye Bitches! Loved the comments by Ivette's girlfriend and mom. I voted for Janelle in America's Choice just to give her a break from the house (and see if Charlie Sheen tries to hit on her).
Posted by: Dana | September 9, 2005 4:43 AM(#5 of 98)
Wow, J-Unit, great recap. I was gearing up for a disappointment but when Janey won HOH, slicing apart the Friendship's hopes with her light saber of death, I nearly cried!
Go Janey! America Loves you (and hates you April)...
Hopefully she'll put up Ivette and Maggie and finally break April for good! Ivette made a bad move not evicting April, the spicy Latina has no hope of winning against Mag-pie and Ap-rail....
Posted by: jmax | September 9, 2005 4:56 AM(#6 of 98)
Ivette's mother and girlfriend were awesome! So much so that I could almost bear an Ivette win. Not nice to pick on the girlfriend though; her hair is a bit unfortunate, but she's not that bad looking at all.
Posted by: chronic | September 9, 2005 4:57 AM(#7 of 98)
Ivette's girlfriend looks better than in that picture. But she still looks like Piggy from Road Rules.
Posted by: B-Side | September 9, 2005 4:59 AM(#8 of 98)
"In other news, Tom Cruise has left Scientology for The Friendship."
I didn't just laugh out loud at this, I clapped, too. Very funny recap!!
My favorite part of the show (after Janelle winning HOH) was the interview with Tush and how she agrees with America about Cappy and Janelle. I love thinking about how shocked Ivette is going to be when she hears this news. Her family will have to whisk her away to someone unnamed location to deprogram her from the evil workings of The Friendship. Meanwhile, Maggie will write a book and become a cult sensation, bringing all the disenchanted loners to her commune to bask in the glory of The Friendship. At $5,000 a head, of course.
Posted by: TV-Eyes | September 9, 2005 5:01 AM(#9 of 98)
B-side, Just the fact that she agrees with almost 99% of the comments on this blog regarding Crappy and the Fshits' kicks her up a couple of notches on the attraction scale. Replace the Zack cut with something better and she isn't that bad at all. She ain't America's Next Top Model or nothing, but she isn't as bad as Naggie, or Nakomis (BB5).
Posted by: CopyCat | September 9, 2005 5:07 AM(#10 of 98)
I think it's funny that Ivette's girlfriend and mom think she's crazy for her worship of Cappy. I love the fact Ivette's girlfriend thinks Janelle is a good player, I would love to be a fly on the wall when they meet up again.
When Maggie said that if Ivette voted April or her out then no one in the friendship would vote for Ivette, I thought what kind of crazy bitch is this that knows how all those people are going to vote? Geesh!
I hope Janelle nominates Maggie and April but I guess it doesn't matter if they all compete for POV. For Janelle to stand a chance Maggie needs to be voted out.
Posted by: megstar | September 9, 2005 5:13 AM(#11 of 98)
OK, gotta give Ivette's girlfriend her props, along with momma. And, she's not bad looking, that was just a horrendous photo the other night.
Oh, and can't forget the obligatory:
B-U-S-T-O and Busto was her name-o!
Posted by: byebyebeyatch | September 9, 2005 5:16 AM(#12 of 98)
When Janey won, I crouched down on the floor, punched the carpet a couple of times, and then jumped up on my couch!
(Then, well, since I live in a basement apartment, I had to bandage my head, but it was totally worth it.)

New DiCHENary entry: CHENobyl, the weekly Chenbot meltdown after a technical glitch.
Also, anyone else pick up on Howie's unintentional humor when he described James as, "mentally, physically, y'know, challenged."

Anyone notice that the "But FIRST" comment is rubbing off to other shows. I noticed the hostbot on Rock Star: INXS used "But FIRST" as well. Chenbot is reproducing other bots...
Careful what you watch...
Posted by: Jalaman | September 9, 2005 5:56 AM(#15 of 98)
Props to J-unit for keeping the spoiler to himself. That's a good friend.
Ivette's mom and gf were so cool that I too could almost tolerate an Ivette win. Almost.
Posted by: hannahthehun | September 9, 2005 5:57 AM(#16 of 98)
What was with Maggie counting on her fingers throughout the HOH competition?
So now that Janelle has HOH, the friendship will have to vote against itself, in Maggielogi that means they will not get a final vote to win in the end.
Maggie better not run into the Harichrisners at the airport, otherwise she will be handing out flowers instead of bandaids for a living.
Ivette reminds me of Ruthie from RW
Posted by: Chrissie | September 9, 2005 6:16 AM(#17 of 98)
I loved that Ivette's girlfriend liked Janelle and momma was great too. Bring home the money! I'm assuming that interview was taped BEFORE Janelle said in the diary room that Ivette's girlfriend was ugly as hell. LOL
Posted by: ButterflyTattoo | September 9, 2005 6:20 AM(#18 of 98)
Great recap as always. I loved how Ivette's girlfriend was saying what a great player Janelle was and how pretty she was when Janelle had just called her ugly as hell. Hee Hee.
Also, my years languishing in parochial school compel me to point out an error. In paragraph four, I think you mean that Goth-Chen would draw a Pentagram on the door; Pentecost is the holy day that celebrates Christ reappearing to the Apostles.
Posted by: Paulie | September 9, 2005 6:33 AM(#19 of 98)
I don't think that Tushie got too upset with Janelle's comment. I bet that even she thinks that photo made her look ass ugly.
The live feeds reported that April had sat down and broke a lawn chair a couple of days ago and then proceeded to blame Janelle. WTF is the fascination with them hating her!?!
Posted by: CopyCat | September 9, 2005 6:35 AM(#20 of 98)
I now love Ivette's girlfriend. It was very unfortunate that they showed that hideous photo of her because she is not ugly at all. Plus I feel bad that she likes Janelle and Janey said she was ugly - I hope she realizes it was the photo and the association with Ivette's fault!!!! Maybe Tushie will leave Evilette for Janey at the wrap party! And OF COURSE we all need to vote for Janelle to spend the day with Charlie Sheen - she would enjoy it the most and it would get her out of that miserable house where those 3 A-holes won't even talk to her. How is it possible that Janelle continues to have such a positive upbeat outlook in the face of those wenches who cry and claim she cheats at the drop of a hat?! At least she finally gets a FULL week in the HOH room! No one deserves it more.
Go Jedi Janey!! Go Tushie!

This show has drained me emotionally. IT reminds me of last years ALCS where my beloved Red Sox were down 0-3, about to be put away by the hated Yankees. And Janelle is our David Ortiz. Keeps getting clutch hits, walk off home runs, making you think deep down that it’s possible. It COULD happen. And then I remember all the panic attacks and stress headaches that that whole experience gave me, and curse CBS for making me care too much about something so stupid.
God I love my Janey…. Did anyone else notice her walk? She’ got this weird pigeon toed walk that makes her look goofy. But in a good way.
Ivette is such an idiot. We actually hear her say out loud that she understands the math involved in the final 2, yet she still doesn’t do it. She’s still in cappy land. And her mom looks like Larry from the three stooges.
I love Howies light sabers. I looked them up on line to see if I could get one. Those suckers are 120 bucks. And in his defense, if you watch the live feeds, he is kinda funny. Just not when he’s got the spotlight on him.
And voting for Janelle for America’s Choice is required. Not so much that I want Janelle to win (I do) I just want to make sure once again that the freindshits get it rubbed in their faces. I just hope Charlie Sheen doesn’t give her Hep C.

cry
Posted by: Timmy | September 9, 2005 7:02 AM(#23 of 98)
I actually think Janelle has a chance of winning, but only if she is up against Yapril in the final two. Ivette really hates Yapril, and would probably throw a vote to Janelle if it was the two of them. James, Howie and Rachel would vote for Janelle, leaving Beau, Maggot and J-Blo voting for Yapril. Janelle could still pull this off. Ivette did say that she wouldn't be happy if Yapril walked away with the $500,000. There's hope people, let's just hope that Janelle sees it and takes Yapril to the final with her.

That recap was great, I haven't laughed that hard in weeks. I put in 100 votes for Janelle after midnight; she deserves to get away from the houseguests from Hell for at least a day.
Janey needs to win HoH again next week and then hope the jury is smart enough to realize she's the best all around player in BB history. If she's lucky then America will help determine the winner and we all know how America loves Janey!
Posted by: vyper | September 9, 2005 7:20 AM(#25 of 98)
Janelle has just lost the game. To get to the final 2, she had to LOSE this HOH, then win the POV.
Remember that since she won HOH this week, she will not be eligible to compete for it next week. When it comes down to 3 contestants, the HOH gets to determine who she will take to the finals.
Her only chance was to lose HOH, win POV, take herself off the block, and win next weeks HOH.
It's all over.
Posted by: bcarterx | September 9, 2005 7:23 AM(#26 of 98)
Go, Janelle, go!
I think Janelle's best bet to win 500k is to take that old hag April to the end, 'cause it looks like Ivette REALLY doesn't want her to win that money.
Posted by: Chris in L.A. | September 9, 2005 7:24 AM(#27 of 98)
Prior to last night's HOH competition, Julie Chen this week's winner can participate in next week's HOH competition, right?
Posted by: Chris in L.A. | September 9, 2005 7:26 AM(#28 of 98)
bcarterx,
The final HOH competition is always an endurance challenge among the final three contestants, no matter who was HOH the previous week.

Does anyone else think that the audience might get to vote in the end? SUMMER OF SECRETS!!!
With American hating the Friendship so much, if Maggie and April are the final two, no one will watch the finale.
CBS has to do something to make us happy and let Janey win it all!! Especially since there were not a whole lot of 'secrets' this season...

Thank you for doing a superb job on the re-caps! You're far more enjoyable than the show itself.

Just to set the record straight: Yes, Janey will be able to compete in the next HOH competition.
Posted by: loops | September 9, 2005 7:34 AM(#35 of 98)
i think we should organize a vote for maggot to win america's choice.
now before you crucify me... listen.
whoever wins spends a day outside of the house, right? so if maggie is gone... that leaves plenty of time for janey to talk strategy (for what it's worth) to the spicy latina....
see where i'm going with this?
Posted by: grundo | September 9, 2005 7:36 AM(#36 of 98)
actually, bcartex (#27), as our beloved chenbot mentioned before the HOH comp, next week the outgoing HOH gets to compete for the last HOH, so janelle still has a chance. i also think there's a slim possibility that she could beat april (not likely, given the cultish nature of the friendship alliance, but possible).
either way, janelle should be set--she's so popular, she might be the first person to actually turn post-reality TV life into something worthwhile and lucrative.
go janey!
Posted by: jack | September 9, 2005 7:37 AM(#37 of 98)
Yes, Grundo (#36), my thoughts exactly.
Posted by: Bobbie | September 9, 2005 7:42 AM(#38 of 98)
It's not so much a vote for Janelle to win America's Choice, it's a vote against the others! Go Janelle! Here's hoping America picks the winner in the end!
Posted by: Bevin | September 9, 2005 7:45 AM(#39 of 98)
Chrissie - #17,
I was wondering about Maggie's finger counting as well. My own personal theory is: Maggie uses the NEW MATH technique, that was 'new' back in the 70s.
And the other part that really makes me giggle: remember how Maggie said that Jannelle only stared at people and didn't get to know them? Well, last night's HOH proved that Janelle is most definitely paying attention to what is going on. Sweet karma.
My hope is that Janelle will put up Maggie and Ivette; Janelle will win the POV and won't use it - then April will be forced to evict one of her pals (cough, Ivette, cough). Super Sweeet.
ha!
P.S. Oh, and remember when someone commented that after seeing the picture of Ivette and her girlfriend, it appeared that Ivette could do better? Well, personally, I think Tushie/Piggy/Maggie could do better! :)
Posted by: ha! | September 9, 2005 7:45 AM(#40 of 98)
Could someone answer a veto question for me? If one held the veto but was not nominated, and then used it to protect someone on the block, could the HoH then turn around and nominate the person who just used the veto, or are they protected?
Posted by: DF | September 9, 2005 7:46 AM(#41 of 98)
"Ivette's mother who looked like the bizarre hybrid of Horatio Sanz, Wendy the Snapple Lady, and Gene Wilder."
Oh man, that shit cracked me up.
I'm so glad that Janelle is probably going to make it to the top two. Hopefully America's Choice will kick in and we'll get to decide who wins BB6 instead of the jury house, but that's unlikely. Oh well. I hope the tabloids print pictures of her and Michael out on the town after it's all over. Maybe I'll see her here in MN. Speaking of which, I'm from MN and I thought that question of how it was to grow up here was really lame. Who cares? Can't they think of anything better? Jeez.
Ivette's mom and girlfriend and totally cool. You know they're probably reading this shit, right? I would be reading every blog I could if someone I knew was on the show.
James is hilarious. I love him. That jenvasquezsucks.com website is awesome. I really hope she sees it.
Posted by: Mary | September 9, 2005 7:49 AM(#42 of 98)
DF,
In years past, that was the case. But the last few seasons, the Power of Veto has been "Golden", meaning the person using the veto is safe from being nominated.

Posted by: J-Unit | September 9, 2005 7:50 AM(#43 of 98)
Please please vote Janey for America's Choice. This is a great chance to stir up some trouble. There's NO WAY Charlie Sheen isn't going to bone Janey once he meets her on Two and a Half Men. Just think, America, you have the choice to bust up a marriage!!! Seize the power!!!!

NO ONE has mentioned Maggie's huge upper thighs in the HOH competition. Was she wearing riding breeches or what? I thought she had lost all this weight.... but no, it just fell down below her waist. Maybe the counting on the fingers during HOH was supposed to distract the audience from those massive pones. not
Posted by: dig_n_dive | September 9, 2005 8:13 AM(#46 of 98)
I agree, Rick D. #24
Janelle's best chance of winning the $500 000 is if she goes up against April in final 2. She has Rachel's and Howie's votes locked, James can't stand April so she has his vote as well. Then she would need one more from the Friendsheep.
If she nominates Maggie and Ivette for eviction it would leave April to vote to keep Maggie.
If Janelle can stir Ivette up about April she might be able to get Ivette's vote in the end!! Ivette already hates April, it wouldn't take much to turn her.
Posted by: iluvjanelle | September 9, 2005 8:22 AM(#47 of 98)
You can still vote for Janelle for the America's Choice- It would be fun to watch Charlie Sheen and Duckie squirm when they meet her.
I think BB is afraid to do the "who gained weight" episode because some of the houseguests are getting a little wide. Maggie looked like she stuffed her black jeans with something.
Posted by: Brian | September 9, 2005 8:24 AM(#48 of 98)
Love that Ivette's mom doesn't understand the obsession with Cappy. I wouldn't be surprised if the Friendship moves with him to Waco. The only thing better was that Ivette's GF loves Janey just like the rest of America.
Count me in to boo Jen at her first game. But we have to bring Kasar, Howie and James with us!
East Coast watchers beware on Saturday. BB is on after US Open coverage. Set you tivos accordingly.
Posted by: BKNY | September 9, 2005 8:27 AM(#49 of 98)
Hold it! Hold it! Hold it! I LOVE that Naggie will promote the idea of NOT voting for the last of the Nerd Herd left standing (if Janelle makes it to the end). It means, well, you know, like...er, Janelle wins?
Also, if it's true that the last challenge for the three semifinalists is an endurance contest, ain't NO way those blobs of fat can beat trim, toned, strong Janelle. Then it's up to the last vote. Let's hope James convinces Ivette or Beau (or both) to vote out the last of the Friendshit. Regardless, I see Janelle winning at least second place, which is $50K. Or maybe CBS will let us vote for a larger prize somehow? Regardless, the Nerd Herd will be shocked when the game is over. Great review again, B-Side. Guess you'll make me a fan of TAR after all. I tell you true that your blog is what makes BB6 popular. CBS secretly LOVES you! (Hmmmm, you sure you're not on their payroll to stir things up?)
Posted by: Tony A. | September 9, 2005 8:30 AM(#50 of 98)
Although I am just pulling stuff out of my ass at this point...
wouldn't it be great if the 3rd safe contained a "Change-a-vote" pass? If you made it to the final 2, you could change someone's vote?
Also, wasn't there one season where the final 2 houseguests were able to throw out a jury member's vote?
There's gotta be some way for Janelle to win this! I know that CBS can't fix it in her favor but, come on guys, you gotta do SOMETHING to help her out!
Posted by: Greg | September 9, 2005 8:35 AM(#51 of 98)
Here is how Janelle can win.
Ivette and James are the two key players.
Janelle nominates Maggie and Ivette.
April votes to evict Ivette.
Ivette leaves the house and goes Cuban.
James sees himself as a master game player and since he can't win the game he wants to be the one who determines who wins the game.
James takes Ivette under his wing and fuels her hatred for April, and remember Ivette said she would hate to see April win the money, so I think James could do it.
It comes down to April and Janelle as the final two.
Rachel, Howie, James, and Ivette, and maybe even Beau vote for Janelle.
April's face cracks, Maggie's hips explode, Jennifer is disgraced when a sex tape of her and Howie surfaces, and all is right with the world.
It could happen.
Anyway, Janelle may be the first reality show contestant to parlay her participation into a career not based on the reality show circuit.
Posted by: boz48730 | September 9, 2005 8:54 AM(#52 of 98)
I was thinking of the same strategy. Get Ivette on the jury, with April taking the brunt of the blame for her eviction. No brainer really.
btw b-side, forgot to compliment you on the pic of Johann, the engineer, from Das Boot. Bloody brilliant that.
Posted by: chronic | September 9, 2005 9:18 AM(#53 of 98)
Just found this site and am having so much fun reading the recaps and posts. I'm not the only dork out there so excited to have the Friendsheep have to vote out one of their own!
There has to be at least one more BIG Secret. If not, the summer of secrets was a farce. Everything was exposed within the first couple of weeks. Somehow they have to let America "help" decide the winner of BB6. That's the words Julie uses for each of the jury members. Is that what she said in seasons past?

great recap, although one of my favorite parts you missed, or maybe i heard incorrectly so i'm curious if others picked it up. When the Chenbot was telling Howie and April to say their final pleas, she said "use your wlrds...words wisely". I thought it was great that she messed up "words" when saying use your words wisely. Priceless irony!
Posted by: corona kid | September 9, 2005 9:52 AM(#57 of 98)
Janelle really does have a chance-- so often when jury members vote, they end up throwing who-they-like out the door and instead vote on who they think played the game better. Everyone who loses wants to feel like they lost to someone who was more manipulative and played the game harder, that makes them feel like even though they lost, they were at least on the right "moral ground". As much as the Friendship hates Janelle, they know that she played the game better MUCH better than April did.

Ivette Flabs!
Viewer Beware
Posted by: loops | September 9, 2005 10:00 AM(#59 of 98)
OK
Howie is on House Calls on CBS.com and Marcellas asked him about sissies and Howie's relationship to Beau.
Howie called Beau cute and a "WC" but couldn't explain it in clean terms so they made him skip it. Bummer. Does anyone know what WC means?

#19 - duly noted. that was a spellcheck error. but it is fixed now.

I agree with above. I think Tushy is adorable, and her comments made me toally love her. Ivette's mom too!
If Janey does not win this thing, there is no justice.
I noticed poor Maggie's thighs too. This is why I would never go on this or any other reality show - y'all would have a field day making fun of my many flaws!!!
Ghastly, horrendous, loser Jennifer. She has overtaken all past BB contestants to be my most-hated of all time. I can't wait until she gets out and see how much America "loves" her!

I think Janelle should nominate April and Ivette, thereby making Maggie do the dirty work and choose between her friends.
So if she keeps Ivette, April will be so hurt (remember the heaving sobs?) that she'll turn Jen against the remaining Friends***.
And if she keeps Ivette, she'll go so ballistic over the fact that Maggie kept the girl "who doesn't even need the money" that she may turn as well and take Beau with her.
Great recaps, btw! I'm addicted!
Go Janey!

B-side, I've been reading this blog for a while now , but never put up a post. I couldn't wait to see if you were going to comment on Howie's "mentally-challenged" comment about James...but(tear) there was no comment to be found. Thank you sg-dub(#14) I knew the tv-gasm staff wouldn't let me down. Keep up the good work...the only thing that keep going thru the day @ my temp jobs are reading thru the archives...yes I know...me

I love Ivette's mom and her gf. They are the best. And I don't think her gf is ugly. I just think it was a bad shot. I hope they kick her ASS when she gets out. I hope her mom goes all Cuban on her.
Why did James pick up Beau and carry him into the house? That was strange. And I love that James is being so nasty in the sequester house.

Robert (post #58) maybe in the past that has been true of some jury members, but do you honestly think that Beau, Jennifer, Ivette, April, and/or Maggie will do that? No way! They have been all about group-think from the start, and Maggie and Ivette point-blank said when voting for Howie last night that they couldn't vote based on what was best for them as individuals and had to follow the group.
Posted by: ashes | September 9, 2005 12:45 PM(#66 of 98)
ANTF - 60,
I would guess that Howie is referring to our little Ram-Beau as a "White Chick". You know, from the movie.
Runner-up possibilities include:
White Cock
Water Closet
Women's Center
WarCraft
Waist Circumference (Hi Ivette!)
White Clan
WC Fields fanatic
ha!
P.S. Personally, I'm gonna stick with White Chick.

Okay, this is the first summer I've watched BB and I'm really pissed I didn't watch the other 5. Were they all this good, or has this been an exceptional BB?
Posted by: Jick | September 9, 2005 12:54 PM(#68 of 98)
So glad that Janelle won HOH, but sorry she didn't have anyone to be pleased for her and hug her. She's going to be a lonely lady now.
Piggy proved to be surprisingly sensible and cute and classy. I can't believe that CBS chose boring Beau over her to be in the show.
What's in the final safe? It's a remote control for the Chenbot. Loved the pic of the internal workings of the Chen. Abandon Chen! Abandon Chen!
Posted by: Lubin Odana | September 9, 2005 1:08 PM(#69 of 98)
Awesome recap, save this: How could you have left out Howie's q of the Chenbot right after he kissed her and they were sitting? "Is your husband cuter than me?", he said.
How the Chenbot kept it together I'll never know. Whatever material was used for her shell must be adapted for all nuclear energy sites!!!
Excepting Veronica Mars, this single ep was the best hour of TV this summer.
Now, how great would it be if they allowed call home to each guest? Imagine Ivette's mom and Tushie screaming at her to get rid of April (basically telling her she was a moron)! Oh, to see her reaction to this.
Posted by: Ed | September 9, 2005 1:11 PM(#70 of 98)
I'd say this season is Classic BB (despite its over-focus on strategy at the expense of character development and other non-game related silliness like food contests). Season 3 is available on DVD (worth getting) and was pretty good as well. Season 4 was all about the nasty bitchy girls and their exes(although I ended up admiring Queen Bitch Alison), and Season 5 started off well and then went wrong with some chennanigans involving a pair of silly religious hemaphrodite twins. Or something.
Posted by: Lubin Odana | September 9, 2005 1:11 PM(#71 of 98)
I squealed like Beau when Janelle won HOH. I hope she takes out Maggie. She is the glue that hold those other 2 bitches together.
I was surprised by Tushie, I suspect that they will break up, since Tushie is into Janelle....Glad she hates Crappy too.
Posted by: katieshole | September 9, 2005 1:13 PM(#72 of 98)
There is one more safe, isn't there? At the beginning of the season, didn't the Chenbot make mention of a possible No Veto week? Maybe the last veto is in the last safe... and if no one gets it open, no final veto...
Posted by: Nony Mouse | September 9, 2005 1:30 PM(#73 of 98)
I have to give Tush a vote of confidence. Yes, she has a Piggy resemblance but that isn't necessarily bad. I think the picture was not flattering to her. If nothing else, the girl has a great judge of character.
WOO HOO for Janie!!
For so long I always thought that Maggie was the lesser of the evils in that house but the more I watch and read, she is evil incarnate. And as upsetting as is it for me to even admit it I would like to see Ivette win over April and Maggie.
Maybe TVgasm should sponsor a trip to Texas so we can all go hate on Jenn as a group. I'm still trying to convince my manager to drive by Crappy's firehouse and yell mean things while he is there later this month.
Posted by: moutain girl | September 9, 2005 3:22 PM(#74 of 98)
I loved all of James comments in the sequester house! (He said something sarcastically like "Yeah, I got to preside over my own funeral for the veto competition and now I get to toast my eviction..yeah!")
Also, Ivette's girlfriend is very cute IMHO. Certainly looks far better than I do. Loved her comments and the Mom's. It made me like Ivette a little.
Posted by: Cheryl lee | September 9, 2005 4:20 PM(#75 of 98)
I am a loyal reader of this site. I DO NOT watch BB, yet you guys have me voting for BB6 contestants on the power of your writing. I'm like a will deprived monkey, who can only go, "Vote Kaysar", "Vote Janey". Give me back my free will, damn you!!!!! (Said really dramatic like and stuff)
Posted by: Holly | September 9, 2005 4:38 PM(#76 of 98)
There's SOOOO much I could say about last night's show, but I won't. I just want to give props to B-Side for another stellar recap!
Posted by: mkognito | September 9, 2005 4:57 PM(#77 of 98)
Damn you, TVG! I was a perfectly normal, well-adjusted older man until I started reading TVGasm. I don't even know how I tumbled onto it during the "24" season this year. Now I can't bear to just TiVo my shows and go wherever whenever because I want to see the show before the next morning, where I now get to my office 1/2 hour early so I can login and read your hilarious blog.
I'm going to loooooove Saturday when the bitches get the double whammy of one of them being evicted while Janelle gets a "Get Out of Jail Free" pass. Ohh, I can almost feel the thrill and glee right now! It'll be worth it having my wife glare at me whiule I watch the show!
Posted by: Tony A. | September 9, 2005 5:21 PM(#78 of 98)
Alright I might be totally wrong. But does anyone else think maggie threw this HOH too.
Think about it:
1. She knows she has the best chance winning against Janelle, but can't keep her in the game without pising of the nerd herd, (thus losing their support for the final vote)
2. She knows if she get put up on the block, whoever isn't will vote to keep her, April will cause she's her "partner" and ivette will because of crappy and she doesn't want april to win.
3. didn't she get a quesiong wrong about her own birthday?
I may be giving her too much credit
Posted by: Wack Attack | September 9, 2005 5:45 PM(#79 of 98)
I admit I got a little teary when Darth Howie was talking to Jedi Janie before his ouster. Even she looked a little chin quivery.
Jedi Janie rocks my world. I LOVE her.
She will rock on "Two and a half men". The bitches of eastwick will start spewing green bile immediately upon the announcement of AC. hehehe... I love it.
Janie doesn't need to win. She has already won just about everything anyway, and will make far more than $500,000 upon leaving the show. I have a feeling she will be the most successful BB player post game ever.
Modelling contracts and endorsements alone will have her set for life. She is a stunning girl.
haggie, yapril and evilette will return to obscurity except for the odd "f&ck you bitch! America HATES you!" shouted at them across the aisle at the local Krogers.
I'm still holding out hope that there is some sort of equalizing twist on the jury. Like "if your partner is eligible, you can't vote" thereby negating Jeniwhore and BoBo's votes.
Or that America votes for the "real" winner, a la Rupert from Survivor, and they get the 1 MILLION!! hahahaha.... Can you just picture the VILE EXPLOSION OF SWEARING AND SPITTING FROM THE NERD HERD!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Ok...apparently I'm way to emotionally invested in this now. I must ween myself.
Posted by: Meesh | September 9, 2005 6:10 PM(#80 of 98)
Janelle is the best player.\ but the mean girls arent playing the game, they are just a sorrority house. MEAN GIRLS!!! CBS..be smart, you will loose a lot of viewers if you dont do something to give janelle a chance to win.
Posted by: Diane | September 9, 2005 7:15 PM(#81 of 98)
Please you guys, put up a notice that BB is on LATE this Saturday night, 10:00pm Eastern time. I'm going out of town and have to tape it, and am so glad I realized. Please share with other BB fans!
Thank you
Posted by: Pamsey | September 9, 2005 7:57 PM(#82 of 98)
Howie might have stayed in the house, if he'd only shaved his head, thus fooling Ivette into thinking he was cappy reincarnated? ... just a random slightly alcohol-induced thought ...
Posted by: philip21 | September 9, 2005 7:57 PM(#83 of 98)
ahh, another knock against the oc! b-side you're killing me. i wasn't going to say anything, but how can you compare big brother to the oc? the two shows are from completely different genres and try to provide entertainment through very different ways, so i don't think that your comparison was a very fair one.
also, the first episode of reunion was much more confusing and plot-overloaded (woo grammar!)than the oc has ever been.
Posted by: tj | September 9, 2005 9:23 PM(#84 of 98)
i wouldnt place all of the blame on howie... what about jennifer?
awesome recap, i loved the 'you can't touch this' :)
Posted by: tj 2 | September 9, 2005 9:56 PM(#85 of 98)
Big Brother and The OC are apples and oranges.
But enjoyable is enjoyable, and that's what I was comparing. Which show is more enjoyable these days? Big Brother.
Posted by: B-Side | September 9, 2005 9:58 PM(#86 of 98)
I love Tushie (Ivette's ladyfriend). Who would have thought Ivette would have snagged such a smart, cute girl. (And yes, she is very cute, that picture didn't do her justice). I must admit Ivette has grown on me a bit over the last week or so. But Janelle just has to win this thing. She is just soooo cool!
And don't ya just love all of that tension in the seclusion house (or whatever they call it). It is so funny watching them all snap at each other. They are worse than my family.
Hey all of you web people, start an April-bashing website already, will ya? She is most definitely the most annoying woman on this show. She is either a blatant liar or someone who is in complete denial. What is a "true smoker" anyway? And when she said she's not there for the money? Give me a break. Everyone is there for the money. She just likes to give the impression that she has money, and I don't buy it. If she had money, she wouldn't have credit card debt. And I am sure that the major sum of that is plastic surgery debt. I know her type- she just bugs the livin' shit out of me.
I will be so relieved when this show is over and I can get back to my life.
Posted by: amygirl | September 10, 2005 12:29 AM(#87 of 98)
I'm with chronic (#53), that 'Das Boot' reference was hysterical. Doesn't look good for Janey winning the whole thing, but I like her odds for final two. We can but hope...
Posted by: Schadenfreude | September 10, 2005 12:33 AM(#88 of 98)
By the way, I missed this episode, and I confess that all this talk of Ivette's HOH room photo of Tushie not doing her justice has me curious. Screen-shot, anyone?
Posted by: Schadenfreude | September 10, 2005 12:37 AM(#89 of 98)
Hey Schandefreude-
You can see the picture of Tushie here-

Whoa, Meesh just may be onto something. What if he's right and we get to vote for the million dollar winner? Wow.
Posted by: Tony A. | September 10, 2005 11:04 AM(#91 of 98)
I'm starting to grow concerned for a lot of the TVGasm readers. People who find that Ivette is "growing on them". Do ya'll have a case of mass amenesia? She is a loud harpy racist shrew. The things she said about Kasar were just awful. Same with the stuff she has said about Howie, Rachel, Janelle and Michael. And the stuff she said about America when Janelle won the call. SHEESH.
Posted by: TinkerbellAPixie | September 10, 2005 12:42 PM(#92 of 98)
Alright Tinkerbell- settle down...
Maybe it's just that I find her more tolerable now that she isn't praying to Cappy anymore. Thing is, I find myself HATING April so much, that I find them all tolerable in comparison. If you watch the feeds, you can clearly see that April NEVER shuts her fucking mouth- she talks all the time. I mean this woman talks so much that you can tell she is even grating on "The Friendship's" nerves. But your right, of course- Ivette is pretty unlikable. She has just been less unlikable since I have started my "I hate April" campaign. Thanks for slapping my silly ass back into reality.
Posted by: amygirl | September 10, 2005 1:24 PM(#93 of 98)
Hey B-Side,
By the way, the exclusive look inside the Chenbot is the funniest fucking thing I have ever seen!!!!
You are hillarious- If I weren't married, I would be stalking you.
Posted by: amygirl | September 10, 2005 1:47 PM(#94 of 98)
I'm so thrilled at this episode's events. Janelle is meant to win!
And I just have to point out a couple of things:
Paulie,
It DOES say "pentagram," not "Pentecost," so I'm a bit confused.
Jennifer,
Charlie Sheen's marriage is already over. He and Denise Richards are in the process of getting divorced.
Posted by: Dagiana | September 10, 2005 3:13 PM(#95 of 98)
Denise Richards? Mmm...
I mean, GO JANIE!
Posted by: Lew | September 10, 2005 4:36 PM(#96 of 98)
I changed Pentecost to pentegram

Ah... Someone after my own heart-
Some great April-Bashing going on here...
