Sitting Pretty in Pink? - 
by J-Unit
It's week four of Big Brother All Stars, and I am going to say something I never thought I would say this early in the game. I am sick of Season Six. There, I said it. Hate me if you want to, but that's the truth. I liked them last year because they were smart and tough underdogs. This year, they have let the power get to their heads and have become a little stupid in their day-to-day decisions. However, Janey is once again in power, and if there is anybody out there that can restore our faith in Season Six, she would be the one. Kaysar and James didn't have the balls to take out Chilltown, so it's up to Janey to show us who really wears the pants in that alliance, even if she's also wearing five-inch stilettos and a halter at the same time.
As you know, I really can't stand the stupid interviews that people give after somebody is nominated. There isn't one single person that can complain about Jase leaving the house because EVERYBODY voted him out. Boogie said that Jase had the same fighting spirit that he did, but apparently that wasn't enough for a vote. Kaysar said that it was heart wrenching. Heart wrenching? It might have been easier for Kaysar if had had, I don't know, VOTED FOR JASE to stay. Danielle said that it's times like that when you really hate the game. No, you REALLY hate the game when you are voted out. She even went so far as to defend Jase when people started questioning his integrity, saying that she won't let people drag his name in the mud, but vote him out? That's probably OK.
This is already getting way too old.
And Diane, what does she have to say for herself? First, she said there was no Mr. and Mrs. Smith (and while I have been arguing her point, I'm doing that just to get people worked up), but she also said it was hard to see Jase go. Again, it might have been a little easier if had a sympathy vote or something. Then again, choosing between Will and Jase was like choosing between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Cruz Bustamante a couple of years ago; if both people kind of suck, choose the one with more plastic surgery.
Will continued with his shtick that he was upset about leaving and that Jase didn't deserve to go, and he is right to be drawing attention to that. If you are a jury member and it comes down to James and somebody else, you are probably less likely to vote for the jerk that backdoored somebody to win a half-million.
Meanwhile, James trying to explain the rationale behind backdooring Jase was kind of weak. He said it was Jase's fault for throwing the HoH competition, and not taking the veto competition to the end. In all honesty, what James did to Jase was more of a blindside than a backdoor. Still, just because the semantics were different and the technique a little more complicated doesn't mean it hurts any less. Jase still feels like he was screwed over by somebody that he trusted. And yes, it may hurt now, but Jase should feel lucky. At least his breakup isn't going to require him to learn new words like restraining order, joint custody, or Valtrex.
Now you may think that Jase sucks, and I still think he was the wrong choice to target this week, but you have to admit his plan to call people out seemed to have worked. Marcellas is finally in the game, and he was saying good riddance to bad rubbish, whether that rubbish be Jase's attitude or non-salon hair products that have been taking space in the bathroom. Marcellas can say all that he wants about Jase's attitude, but the reason why he hated Jase so much was that Jase tried to throw Marcellas under the bus, which is a threat to him. By the way, I think I am sick of people saying "Threw me under the bus", so instead I am going to say, "Threw me under Sally Struthers". It's just as painful, but a lot more fun to say, don't you think?
Anyway, it sucked for Jase to have to leave the way he did, and even James acknowledged that. Howie, on the other hand, was much less sympathetic, and didn't want James to question his decision. Last year, I would have said that Howie hates Jase because Jase is more buff than him, but this year's different. Yes, Howie is still upset that Jase is more buff than him, but Howie is actually playing pretty smart this year. Besides, like Howie said, "you can't have your corn and eat it too", which may sound dumb and we all know the saying is talking about cake and not corn, but they liked to make fun of Jase for the way he ate his corn, and, well, OK, Howie's still kind of dumb but we forgive him.
Some people may not like that I just threw Season Six underneath the Sally Struthers, but I still have some love. I think they are all good players, but the only one I really want to win the money is Janey, and so I was more than happy when she won HoH. Diane made a good point that Season six makes fun of the Friendship so much, she is surprised that they don't realize that they are becoming the Friendship 06. While it is getting a little boring how much of a team they are, I could never call Season Six the Friendship 2 (Two, too?). Most of them could survive in the game on their own, and while the sense of entitlement is reaching that D-list celebrity trying to get into a hot bar level, they are much more like the Four Horsemen than anything else.
