   I want the witch that everyone hates to come back. You have no idea which one I’m referring to, do you?

   I want Holly to come back. The hater (Andrea) needs to go back to Utah. Someone needs to kick her scrawny, Mormon butt out the door; the sooner the better.

   Uh, Mike doesn’t like women. I loathe him but I still like seeing him shirtless. He’s very handsome for a man of 48.

   Kevin disgusts me. [I wish they would make him wear a speedo or some latex biking shorts as some sort of penalty.]
   Jeffrey is the most perfect contestant – ever — in the history of reality TV.

   People are still watching. I watched it streaming during my lunch hour – live—lots of peeps were commenting on what was happening. Thanks for the recap.

   @Sugarbush “The suck of your personality outweighs your beauty” went right into my Awkward Social Situation Solutions file!

   I’m still getting caught up on my back tv watching. And reading recaps. But I just wanted say thanks for that inspirational quote! And Glass House of Stereotypes is right! So we knew from the get go we’d get some bigot drama.

   Like on Bad Girls Club. Where sometimes they’ll put a regular diversity cast. And then add on 1 or 2 white girls that make you think the producers must’ve lied to them to get them to sign up.

   My guess is ABC’s nose is out of joint. Because they feel like The Bachelor’s 1 of the OG reality shows. But now it’s other networks getting famous for having the trashiest 1s. While their producers are getting into fake Twitter wars with fake bloggers they hired on the DL in the 1st place. Then they do this show. To let the whole world know their idea of a reward is Tenley and Kiptin.

   It reminds me of having an older auntie that tries to keep up to date. But instead just keeps missing the point. Say she sees people wearing tight jeans. And a lot of Hello Kitty stuff. So she’ll make tight jeans for all the teenagers in the family. With seams and rivets and everything. Except they’re made out of nightgown flannel with generic pink kittens on it.

   There was a great series on BBC about a bunch of contestants inside a BB-type show during a zombie apocalypse. They were in there when the outbreak started. These people are sort of similar. Except we’ve all turned into Big Brother viewers instead. Same deal: my brain is rotted and my leg is falling off.

   I’m watching! Please don’t stop – I always forget this is on and miss like the first 30 mins so I need your recaps! Of course, I still get everyone confused anyway. I thought the one guy who looked like the other guy was gone but he’s not

   I haven’t watched a second and feel like I haven;t missed a second thanks to your recaps. Did they give an explanation as to why Alex is back?

   @mjhhawk: Alex was just delivering the “fanswers” or whatever the fuck they call them (actually it’s one of the few good ideas the show has lol).

   I’m actually enjoying this show more than I thought I would, especially after last week. I really like Joy, Erica, Ge…that whole damn side of the house. I still think it’ll be interesting when they have to turn on each other (and I’m a sucker for the Joy/Gene thing – I can’t help it!).

   Thanks again for the recaps!

   I’m going to throw this out there… this show is better than Big Brother after all. Maybe it’s the fact that none of these players are “returning” players, or maybe it’s actually because there’s only one episode per week, so it really does seem as if things happen… as opposed to the bullshit storylines Big Brother is required to string together in order to pad three episodes per week.

   More than that, they actually seemed to have made an effort to recruit fairly intelligent, somewhat articulate and generally mature people — hell, even the playboy bunny “bimbo” on this show seems brighter than the smartest person on Big Brother (whoever that would be). And they’ve made it a point of getting rid of the idiots early on.

   I’m even coming around to the “Amurrica votes” idea — it shakes things up, keeps people from getting complacent, and provides a definite slap in the face of bullying types.

   Hmm…. I’m ought to copy and paste this into the Big Brother comments section, since I’m not sure how many people are still reading the Glass House comments….

    Based monday’s episode I now can see why Joy got so upset about Mike saying she was using Gene. She really does like him.
