Remember how last Thursday’s episode was chock-full of filler? Well, this one is worse! These houseguests have become so insufferable, we actually spend almost half this episode interviewing people who aren’t in the house. And it is such a relief, to be honest.

Things start off on a sour note, as Julie says we’ve reached the halfway point! Oh my god, only halfway? How do we DO this every summer?! Julie is sporting a plain purple dress and one of King Tut’s necklaces.

“The mummy I stole this from has cursed me to host this show for a thousand years.” 

Previously: Shane, Britney, Dan, and Danielle are in two separate alliances that are competing to see who can come up with the worst name. Seriously, the Silent Six and the Quack Pack? These guys are making the members of the Brigade look like creative geniuses.

Julie teases us that Big Brother favorite Jeff is returning tonight! To… talk about the houseguests? Um, why? Does he just hang around outside the CBS lot, begging the producers to give him stuff to do?

Flashback to the veto ceremony! Dan is relieved that he didn’t get backdoored. Wil is mad Frank “chickened out” from backdooring Dan, but he suspects Joe will dig his own grave this week. We all know Wil is going, but let’s pretend like we don’t.

“Psst… Britney, check it out. I pooped in this casserole.”

Bathroom chat with Britney, Shane, and Danielle! It’s the typical “we need to win HoH” talk, because they don’t trust Frank and Boogie. Man, this Silent Six alliance is the WORST. To her credit, Britney points out that their alliance didn’t even survive a week. So why are we still calling it an alliance? And this is why Frank is so stupid – when he let it be known that he was thinking about backdooring Dan, he alerted everyone that the alliance was broken, and then he didn’t act on it. Frank is terrible at this game.

Ashley mopes outside with Joe, while Frank tickles Dan’s feet upstairs (?). Frank tells him honestly that he was thinking about backdooring him, thinking this will buy Dan’s loyalty??? Wow, Frank. I don’t even know what to say. Dan, obviously, loses any last vestiges of trust in Frank. Good plan, Frank! Vote him out, Dan.

Frank wants Wil gone, because Ashley and Joe won’t work together without him uniting them. So… then you’ve broken up Ashley and Joe? OH NO, THE HOUSE’S POWER COUPLE! This is such a nonsense plan. All of these people are too scared to actually do anything. Besides Danielle, who got rid of a legitimate threat. I can’t believe Danielle is the ballsiest person in this game, but this is the state of Big Brother these days.

“…We are in a showering-with-our-clothes-on competition, right?”

    I usually hate the filler family portions but absolutely loved Joe’s wife and kids! His wife is funny and would have been so much more entertaining on the show than Joe has been. And the insights into his yelling in the DR were priceless! The kids have their DNA from their mom, definitely! And his son’s comment about getting his dad to shave was great.

    Glad to see Wil gone – I found him to be a whiner and not entertaining at all.

    Again, who is Jenn?

    At first I was a little surprise at Frank asking Ashly to make out on the couch but in hindsight I shouldn’t have been shocked at it work. It reminded me of the HIMYM episode with the naked man.

    Either one could have left tonight and it would have been fine. Can we put Joe’s kid in the game? The one who wants him to shave the tampon string on his chin? I wanna see the kid harass Grandpa Boogies for the rest of the season.

    Reading ‘Grandpa Keebler’ made me spit coffee all over my laptop. The ‘check if Grandpa is breathing’ pic was pretty freakin hilarious, as well. Great recap!!

    Anyone else think Joe’s wife bears a slight resemblance to Chelsea Handler?

    I think, hope, they are his step-kids. They call him Joe and I think he said he was married for 8 years.

    Danny this recap was hilarious…at first I didn’t think the ep was that bad, then you showed me the light and made me realize how shitty it was!, and how shitty BB is! Freakin funny!

    Wil was ok…he made me laugh but that’s about it. Good point about them wanting to break up the amazingly powerful Zeus like team of ashley frank and will. Wow, great strategy, morons.

    And JMo I will gladly donate to that fund….

    I think Wil was channeling the Village People with the hat.

    I enjoyed the episode primarily because Joe didn’t get the boot.

    Whoever wins the veto needs to put Frank and Boogie up.

    OMG I KNEW I WASN’T THE ONLY ONE THAT FELL IN LOVE WITH THE MCSHOUTERTONS! How awesome was Joe’s family?!? I also think that vinette was the best part of the season so far. They had me @ “I’M SARAH…I’M JOE’S WIFE!!” Although..when they first came on I was confused because the younger lady was really pretty, so I was like maybe he has a beautiful sister but when she introduced herself as his wife I was STUNNED! Then add her awesomeness to the equation & I was super confused. But then she said ‘He’s so hot’ and then i said ‘Ah ha! She’s losing her eye sight!’ I have to give it up to shouty…he has a GORGEOUS family AND they can bring the snark?! I fell in love with his son when he asked us to convince him to cut the soul patch! Now, if only we could do something about his fauxhawk! Have we ever seen a family seg that awesome?

    Anyhoo….WTF was the purpose of JEFF’S ass being there? THE most spectacularly stupid segment ever! Seriously! What was the deal with that b.s? And who gives a fuck about him & his little sister Jordan? UGH

    BYE WILL! I had such high hopes for you going in. How can the genius behind The Wil show & the ‘crouton crouton’ spoof be such a let down? How did getting Janelle out work out for ya?

    Joe’s family segment was the best since Season6 when Ivette’s mother and girlfriend both trashed Ivette and talked about how much they loved Janelle.

    “Check to see if Grandpa’s breathing” – that and the photograph of Boogie made me laugh so hard I almost dropped my laptop! Thank you – I can’t sleep and I needed that. You write a great recap.

    I would LOVE to see a Tvgasm recappers Big Brother. JMo and Flipit in the BB house?? PRICELESS.

    Oh – and many, many thanks for the photo of a muscular, wet Jeff. Just the way I like him. With his mouth shut.

    Joe’s speech made me so uncomfortable I muted the TV.

    I had to stop at “CHECK IF GRANDPA’S BREATHING.”
    OMG, I am dying laughing over here, tears and all.
    Your captions are killing me, and I love it!
