Big Brother Recap: The Grodner That Laid the Golden Rig

The HOH competition is getting balls into holes. I could go on for ten pages about it, but why? Basically, Frank has to go up against each HG individually and take them out one by one. Dan is the first out, and Brit is pissed that she’s gonna have to rely on herself when she’s not really known for being good at..stuff. The most exciting part of the comp for me was when Chef Yell put his hand down his pants.

Frank takes every single one of them out and wins HOH! He deserves it. And a gift certificate to Fantastic Sams. Why is that never included? After a fake smile, a high five, and a request not to be the Have Not, Brit rolls her eyes and tells us that she doesn’t know why anyone else is even playing. They should just chill in the kitchen, eat pizza, and wait for him to show up with the gold necklace. Heheh. And this would be different than your normal strategy how ?

As winner, he gets to choose the sole have not for the week. He takes Dan, who’s face will get even more skeletal now. It’s getting hard to look at him. Dan reminds us that this is his first time ever being on slop! Damn! Is that true? No wonder he’s been so nice. Prepare to watch him completely unravel. YAAAAY!!!!

Brit makes her way up to HOH to talk to Frank. He says that he’s not forgetting that she screwed him over like two hours ago, but Dan is his target so she can chill. Wanna make out? She throws up in the HOH wastebasket and says that getting Dan out will be good for her game. Pandora’s Box time!

Frank reads cue cards really badly about how opening the box might open his game to more producer manipulation, but of course, he opens it anyway. He gets three thousand bucks, but he has to be locked in the room for an hour. With Jessie? Or maybe with Boobs Rachel sobbing about people being mean to her? ALONE? WTF? NO FAAAAAIR!!!!

Downstairs, the other HGs get to play a new game. Remember those balls? No, not the ones Chef was just scratching. The ones in the claw machine. Well, there’s a golden ball in there, and it’s a second veto for the week! Balls are all over the backyard. Some have coins. Every time they find a coin, they get a shot at the ball machine. Dan is scared shitless and trying to get all he can, which leads Britney to call him greedy and selfish. Um, you remember that you just betrayed him to save your own ass, right?

She’s a hypocrite, but she’s not wrong. Dan is acting aggressive and d-baggy, and it’s fun watching him crack finally. He asks Ian the state of the gold ball and Ian won’t give him an answer. Dan now thinks Ian is double talking him and trying to trick him. Man, Ian is fucking up a lot in one episode. He’s toast unless he…he WINS! He gets the veto! Frank wants to talk to him the second he finds out. If he promises to keep Ian off the block, will Ian promise not to use the veto on Dan? In stammers a non response, which pisses Frank off again. IAN!!! It’s been kinda good to see the nerd rise up, but right now I want someone to run in and slam him into a locker. What a dumbass. So now Frank mistrusts him more AND Dan mistrusts him. All in a day’s work!

    Ian has been my favorite for a long time and so quickly so much went wrong. Please don’t veto Dan… he’s been driving me nuts.

    I still want an Ian/Dan finale. Although I also love Britney. They are the only three I’ve enjoyed all summer.

    Manipulation OR stpidity abounds in da ‘house! WHY would Frank not put Ian up take the veto out of play and backdoor Dan. How many times has everybody lied to Frank this season and he STILL believes them. Allison has instructed Ian to use the veto on Dan so therefore Frank, Dan and Ian (aka the “BB pets”) will stick around to continue the battle.

    I agree it was GREAT to see Dan actually make an effort – I guess throwing every challenge left him out of practice when he needed it hahaha. Also funny to see Mr. Calm,Cool & Collected turn into a spazing d-bag.

    Random thoughts – when Frank read (at a 3rd grade level) the pandora’s box info it stated “you will get more money than you entered into the house with” as we are reminded in every diary room session Frank is unemployed so of course it is more money. Also stop fucking wearing Boogies clothes – just a constant reminder to the HG’s & USA that you aligned with Captain Wartman.

    Why Dani was crying and Frank said to Shane Awwww give her a hug. I said a silent prayer that you would be able to screen grab Shane’s face at that moment. The thought of hugging Danielle sent a look of sheer terror & revulsion on his face it was awesome – and for the record he never did do it! HAHAHA

    Funny recap, though for the record Flipit I think Frank’s line to Joe was that he FLOATS like a bob on a fishing pole (which at least makes sense)

    @considerthis . . . Yes I was thinking the same thing when Frank told Shane Dani needed a hug . . hilarious! The look on his face you’d have thought Frank told him to pop one of her zits or something. Hilarious.

    Poor Ian. He’s really smart but just can’t think on his feet. When people put him on the spot he just freezes or says something REALLY stupid. I had been rooting for him, but at this point if you’re just going by best gameplay it’s either Frank for competition-winning or Brittany for social game, and everyone else kinda sucks.

    uh, everybody dislikes Frank and wants him out of the house. He’s going — now OR eventually. The only people who want to befriend him are people who plan on stabbing him in the back later. That doesn’t bode well for his chances of winning.

    According to the forums — Dan was reading the bible when he was being bullied by “great” players Frank and the recently kicked out grandpa Boogie.
    I think he was “pretending to read the bible” cause during that “quarters in the ball” veto game Dan wasn’t acting like a Christian. He was mean AND rude AND a liar.

    I think he was ‘pretending to read the bible’ “

    I think you are right. On BBAD a few weeks ago, the Bible quote from Pulp Fiction came up and they were trying to find it. Based on Dan’s guesses (Genesis was one guess) on where it might be found, I could tell that he knows next to nothing about the Bible. As for acting like a Christian, I don’t think anybody who puts acting like a Christian as a priority in life would ever agree to be on a reality show. Dan also lets loose on f-bombs way too much for a teacher at a Catholic school, in my opinion.

    I’ve read the bible many times, and I’ve never found any specific prohibition against the word “fuck,” so Dan’s probably safe on that score. And his scrambling for that money just points to his future career as a megachurch televangelist.

    At this point, I’m hoping Screaming Joe wins the season. BB deserves this.

    I’m not Catholic, and I say fuck all the time, but I wouldn’t say it on television if I worked as a teacher at a Catholic school, or I might get my fucking ass in trouble regardless whether or not that particular word is prohibited in the Bible. But hey, maybe Catholic schools have gotten a lot more liberal in the past decade or so and no one told me.

    I’m pretty sure the Catholic Church has been working hard on that whole “fucking ass” trouble it’s been having lately, so yeah, maybe the new official policy is, if they’re allowed to say it, maybe they won’t do it…

    My brother went to Catholic school, and I’m pretty sure neither saying “fucking ass” nor actually fucking ass was allowed. I didn’t think the language of that wigger 4th grade teacher from Tampa a few seasons back was appropriate either. The only teachers that should be allowed to say “fuck” on TV are college teachers at secular schools. Yes, I realize that itchy world and cranky world are worlds apart.

    I could be wrong, but I don’t think that Dan is employed as a teacher anymore.

    I am pretty sure that I read on the forum that Dan used his winnings from last time to purchase rental property and this is how he makes his living now.

    Oh I agree, I wouldn’t want my kids’ teachers saying “fuck” in class either. But Dan’s not in a classroom at the moment. Though he IS schoolin’ the others on how Big Brother’s done.

    The itchy and cranky show. Someone ought to be paying us.

    Robin – I thought Dan was the football coach at the school still because as I recall (and I have recalled incorrectly before) that he said that his team won state championship or something like that.

    I would have like Frank had he not kissed Boogie’s butt so much. I have watched every season of BB (yes even Season 1 with Will Mega) and Boogie is the most irritating and hateful player that I have seen. (Yes, more than Boofles – but not much). Had he played on his own, I would like Frank but I can’t erase the Boogie taint off him. Yuck!
