Death Becomes Her - 
by J-Unit
It's been a tough week for me when it comes to Big Brother. On one hand, I was so happy that Danielle won Head of Household because I was excited to see that some adult supervision would be coming to the house. Season Six has done a good job of talking a lot about how wonderful their strategy is, but in reality the people who have benefited the most from their nominations are Chilltown. Still, I can't say that I am absolutely enjoying Danielle's reign because she put. But whatever the result, Danielle is really forcing people to play the game, and that is really all that you can ask for. What we got in return was one of the best episodes of the season.
Although I was happy with Danielle nominating James and Janelle (season six needs to be broken down for the good of the game), I thought that she could have made it a lot easier on herself by putting up Janelle and Kaysar. If one of them wins Veto, she could then put up James as a decoy. If Kaysar was to win veto, he would probably take off Janelle, meaning neither of them would be on the block, which would be a major blow to Danielle. For somebody who always likes to keep it simple and straight to the point, I thought this was a bad move on Danielle's part.
The good part about the strategy was that James was able to sell his surprise and anger very well, and he even called it "one of the better moments in my brief, but non-existent acting career", much like the mornings I belt out "The Seed (2.0)" in the shower is part of my (thankfully) brief and (mercifully, for you) non-existent singing career. Boogie was so impressed with the way things went down that he believed that the Legion of Doom, which honestly is about as cool as naming your alliance "Stratego", had devised the "perfect" plan. And you all know what happens when anybody has a perfect plan and announces it all over house? It almost always backfires in their face, leaving several people to pick up the pieces.
It's not long before Janelle has already sniffed out part of James' strategy. When talking with Kaysar, she starts to wonder about the nomination ceremony. She even begins to wonder if James is working with Danielle, and therefore James knew he was going to go up. Kaysar, who is proving each week that he is more and more overrated said that there was no way in "a million years" that James would go for that kind of deal. Janelle, however, is not convinces, and this is why we love her. She begins to realize that there is a good chance that if James wins the veto, he is coming off, and Kaysar could be back-doored. She is right, but I think any person in James' position would fight for the veto to take himself off. However, if somebody else were to win the veto and take James off, that would be a good indicator of something being wrong.
Never say never again Kaysar
Ironically, season six makes a great argument for why James should not have full loyalty to their alliance, because they do not have full loyalty to him. Janelle says that there has always been a little bit of suspicion since James turned on them last year. She conveniently forgets that James turned on his alliance because stupid Howie, in a move that STILL pisses me off to this day, let Maggie convince him that he needed to put up James and Sarah. When your alliance puts up you AND your girlfriend in order to get you out of the house, there is reason for you to want some revenge. Janelle basically admitted that they are only using James for numbers, and I think James is justified to get out before Dr. Will is able to convince Janelle or Kaysar that James is more dangerous in their alliance than one of them, and YOU KNOW that is going to happen sooner than later.
Danielle seems to have turned the tide in her favor with a number of houseguests. Marcellas bought the act, hook, line, and sinker. Before, he thought that they had some deal, but now Danielle blew the game wide open. Danielle is happy that Marcellas is on her side, but prefers to keep him the dark.
Another strange occurrence came when George entered Danielle's room and basically said that he wasn't going to be playing the game for himself any longer. In an act of capitulation so great that even Vichy France would be ashamed, George said that he has been watching Danielle and the odds are in her favor. George says Danielle can whip it, which I guess is his way of saying that she can dominate the game. Good thing Danielle is not a pirate or Jesse Jackson, because she might have taken offense. Basically, George says that he understands what she is playing for and if he is not able to get to the end, he wants to be there for her if she does.
