So there have been a lot of complaints that this season of Big Brother has not quite lived up to the hype. Basically, we’ve had a bunch of people talking about how they were going to shake things up in the house, but when it came to actuaully walking the walk, their actions were far short of spectacular. We have all of these great players, but there hasn’t been anything to really suck us in. And then last night’s episode happened. In terms of showcasing what makes Big Brother great, last night should go down in the top ten episodes OF ALL TIME for Big Brother in the United States, and if it weren’t for last season, it could have been one of my two or three favorite episodes ever. What made it so great? Find out after the jump.When I did the recap of the live show last week, I said that I was very happy to see James as HoH. He never had a chance to win head of household during his season, and since he is considered a very smart player, I wanted to see what he would do. He was critical of Kaysar’s nominations, but not having been in the driver’s seat himself, how could he ever understand the pressure?
To be honest, I thought that the nomination of George and Will, with Will as the “pawn”, was really not a very bold move. Having seen what Kaysar went throught, it was hilarious to hear James talk about his nominations. First, he said that he nominated Chicken George because it means that the floaters will have to pick a side. Great strategy, but isn’t this exactly the same thing that Kaysar wanted to do last week? How many weeks in a row are they going to say “we wanted the floaters to pick a side” before we start to wonder if this strategy kind of sucks. For the most part, the floaters have been floating. All of that talk about choosing sides has not materlialized, and if anything James and Kaysar succeeded only in putting bigger targets on their backs.
Calling what these two have done “strategy” is like calling last year’s Syracuse football team “competitive”. You can’t use them in the same sentence. What is this obsession with secret alliances? I guess from their experience last year, they want to believe that everybody in the house has a secret alliance with somebody else. Sure a lot of people may know each other, but what did they expect to happen? How many people in the house other than Chicken George live more than a two-hour drive away from Los Angeles? Of course people are going to be friends.
I wonder if Dr. Will gets jealous?
Chicken George’s ability in this game has been elevated by the fact that he was caught eavesdropping on James and Janelle, who happen to be the people that are most anxious to get him out. I understand that George has been playing dumb, and his willingness to help out with the housework is an obvious play to kiss ass (one that Erika used to her advantage well during her season), but the only real friend this guy has in the house is the dumbest person in the place: Howie. George can’t rally people to his cause, so leaving him inside the house at this point in time seems really counterproductive.
Every week, as I chronicle my first summer with Dr. Will (who seems to have lost his spray on tan from last time), I can’t help it but to be surprised as to how Will is playing this game. A lot of his style can be perceived by arrogance, but until somebody actually takes him out of the game, he has been able to do thing almost exactly according to plan. The only aspect of the game that it looks like Dr. Will can’t keep under wraps is Howie, who is looking to hug Will at any spare moment of the day. I don’t know what Will’s problem is. Who doesn’t love a hug? You should go find somebody in your office right now and give them a hug (we cannot be held responsible for any lawsuits that may arise). If you are at home, hug your wife or husband or kid or dog or mailman/woman(not too tight!). When they look at you like you like you’re crazy, tell them it’s from TVgasm, and then they’ll know you’re really insane.
After nominations, Jase goes up to the HoH room and he and James have a little moment between the two of them. Jase hadn’t yet talked to James one on one because he didn’t want to seem like he was kissing ass before nominations, which just goes to show you what kind of person Jase is, namely somebody who likes to kiss ass the day after nominations. James and Jase discussed how much they respected each other, and how it would piss them off if a floater makes it to the end of the game. They even came to a gentleman’s agreement not to backdoor each other if either one of them happened to be HoH or, you know, the shower.
I can understand the frustration of not wanting a floater to make it towards the end, but leave the theory and the discussion to us idiot bloggers who spent way too much analyzing and agonizing over every minute detail. As much as I love to see schemers inside the house and want crazy shit to unfold in order to make this show exciting, there is not really a practical way to defend the way James and Jase are talking about floaters and what to do with them.
Floaters are never the sexy pick, but they do serve a purpose, and just because James might not be happy with the way they play doesn’t mean that the floating strategy is necessarily wrong. In fact, you could argue that it might be harder to get through the the Big Brother competition as a floater than it is for people who are part of a strong alliance. Jase and James were acting like it required some act of congress before people could play the way that they did, saying that floating is not worthy of a true Big Brother All Star, but you know what? Last time I checked, the person who gets that $500,000 is not judged based on style points. There is no degree of dfficulty that measures into the final tally, so listening to the two of these guys talk about how much they each respected the game was such bullshit. All of this talk of floaters simply means that people are still scared of Dr. Will. It’s unbelievable how much people are overthinking this game.
Usually the Sunday and Tuesday episodes are where we get our really lame segments about life in the house, but this episode was so good that even those segments were good. First we had Marcellas talking about how appealing the men were in the house, and while he said a little bit about everybody, this was really the “Marcellas has a crush on Kaysar” segment. Yes, all of you ladies who thought that you would be the only ones fighting for Kaysar’s affection should realize that there are probably just as many men who have a crush on him as well.
Marcellas called Kaysar the Iraqi peach, but I thought Middle East peaches come from Iran. Which makes me think, doesn’t Kaysar look sort of like a thinner, slightly darker Michael Tarshi? Yes, Tarshi’s Persian and Kaysar is Iraqi, but hey girls, you get Tarshi in the gym, and after a little while, maybe you can get a Kaysar substitute. After all, just how much time do you want to invest getting the Muslim Brad Pitt when there are people like Marcellas who would kill for him? Marcellas was talking about how much he liked Kaysar’s “musk”. I’m telling you right now, if Kaysar was driving Marcellas’ taxi or selling him a falafel, Marcellas would not be calling it “musk”. Rather, he would tell it like it is, and call it BO. I say save yourself the trouble and go for Tarshi, who couldn’t be considered a Muslim Brad Pitt, but he does have a good job and drives a Porsche!
I wonder if Kaysar’s musk is anything like Hai Karate
I’m sorry if I didn’t spend enough time talking about Kaysar, but really, this is already the third segment with people talking about how hunky he is, and we have a little game to talk. Marcellas is chatting with Erika about who should be leaving the house. Eventually one of the floaters is going to win HoH, and they have to figure out what they are going to do. Erika has been playing a great game, because her whole game is being a floater, and while people talk about getting rid of floaters for the last two weeks, her name has never popped up. However, I can’t agree with her when she talks about wanting to get rid of George.
Erika says the knock on Chicken George is that he has yet to show that he can win anything, but again, this should be the reason that you want him in the house. As you reach the end, Chicken George is not going to be a physical threat, and he has proved inept at scheming. Keep him in the game, and your chances of winning go up. And there is no reason to give this excuse that you don’t want to see George winning the money at the end. If everybody in the house hates George, then the jury will be made up of a bunch of people who hate George. If they hate George, why would they vote him to win at the end? It doesn’t make any sense. Marcellas did make the argument that Chilltown should be allowed to stay because they need a buffer against season six, but really, what kind of shit is that? But if you need somebody to be a target for season six wrath, why not make the buffer Chicken George?
The next little comedy segment from the house featured Jase getting freestyling in one of the bedrooms. A bunch of people were gathered around, cheering white boy on. Will said that he woke up in the middle of the night wondering why 8 mile broke out in the bedroom. He might have called it 8 mile, but the type of flow Jase was displaying wouldn’t get him eight feet. Jase got down, and everybody decided that it would be funny to get George up there to rap, and it was actually kind of funny. Even though it sounded more like slam poetry, George really had some bad things to say about James. Nobody has given George a chance, but he seems to be ready for the fight everybody says is coming.
Honestly, that segment would have been enought, but then we get another segment where Danielle is talking about how much Jase likes to primp, especially taking note of how much time he spends on his hair. When Jase came in the house, we thought he had changed, and I have to say that he was growing on me a little bit. But ever since that episode where they were digging around in the Big Brother trash, something has really changed in him. It’s as if the bandana he wore unleashed some inner demon, and now he is back to using a flat iron on his hair and spending more prep time on his bangs than anybody in the hosue, man OR woman. You can take the man away from Hollywood, but you can’t take Hollywood (or the hair products, manicures, and facials) away from the man. I think Jase was lying when he said his idol was Brad Pitt, because he’s doing everything he can to make himself look like Ryan Seacrest.
You’ve got to be kidding me
I know people are going to call me crazy, but Chicken George started to grown on me this episode. And when I say started, my love for Chicken George spread faster than the Asian bird flu. This game is so cut throat, how can you not love a person like George. Sure he’s annoying, and if I saw him in the tinfoil suit, I would probably shoot him myself, but look at how he treats Howie. Other people try to bully Howie around because Howie is a big guy himself. George is different. As the two of them are talking about George’s chances in the veto, George tells Howie that if he is gone, Howie should go out and win this thing. George told Howie that he could do it, and he shouldn’t let anybody tell him he can’t do it. It wasn’t quite as inspiring as watching Hoosiers, or uplifting as having Julie Chen say “yes” when you ask her to marry you, but even Howie was silenced after her realized how much George cared about him.
But enough with all of that, George’s only hope lied in the veto competition, and early on, it didn’t look good. As they were drawing to see who would join them in the competition, James drew Kaysar, Will drew a wild card and picked Boogie, and George picked Jase. The only person that could save George was George himself. Luckily, he caught a break with the veto compeition. The six players were given a series of tasks to see how far they would go to win the veto. If a player chose not to paticipate, or sat out, that person was eliminated.
The first of the challenges was called “Sloppy Surprise”, and immediately, I started looking out for Jen Vazquez, but the actual challenge was just eating a bowl of slop. I guess if Jen was to come out, they would call it “Sloppy Seconds” or more accurately “Sloppy Hundreds”. I thought this would be an easy challenge, but it Will and Mike boogie actually couldn’t complete it.
The next challenge asked everybody if they would burn all of their clothes. The people left are two buff guys (James and Jase), another in decent shape(Kaysar), and one who doesn’t care what he looks like, so every single one of them decided to go along. The same thing applied to the next competition, which was to allow everybody else to write messages on their bodies in marker. Somebody wrote something fowl (get it?) on Chicken George, because it had to be blurred out. My guess is that Howie drew boobs on Chicken George. The fourth challenge was a little more difficult, but again, everybody went along. It required them to get in a tub full of blue dye to make themselves human blueberries.
Things didn’t get really interesting until the next task, which was just a simple question. To move on, the person had to forfeit their chance at next week’s veto competition. Now people had to start thinking. James, who can’t compete in the HoH, decided that he needs to be able to compete in the veto, and pulled out. Jase, who is a floater and needs all the protection he can get in this game, also pulled out. That left only Kaysar and George. Obviously George is going to say yes, but what about Kaysar? If George were to win the veto, it would really fuck up the plan, not that I would complain, because getting rid of George was a fucked up plan to begind with.
Eventually, Kaysar decides that he has to move on, which is very interesting. Unless somebody from Season Six wins HoH (not out of the realm of possibility), he is likely to be nominated because he can’t defend himself with the veto. And if another person from Season Six is nominated, he can’t help them in the veto either. Is it really worth all of that risk to get rid of Chicken George? If this was Dr. Will, I understand. Dr. Will is the greatest player in the game. Chicken George? He’s the housekeeper. Wasting effort on him is ridiculous and Kaysar’s willingness to go so far makes me wonder if the talk of him making an alliance with Will is in fact the truth.
After losing the veto, the next task was shaving your head. Both people left said yes, and Marcellas nearly cried at the thought of Kaysar shaving his locks. I don’t know guys and girls, is the new Kaysar an improvement?
Head shaving was the final task, so the winner was going to come down to a tiebreaker. The question was how many days are you willing to go with slop in order to win the veto. The person who wrote the highest number on their chalkboard would be the winner and there were sixty days left in the house. It’s obvious to me that George was going to put down the maximum, the question was how far was Kaysar willing to go? Kaysar put down fifteen days, and George put down sixty, which meant that George had won the power of veto, and now things were really going to be shaken up!
I know that Chicken George is this dangerous player, but after he won the Veto, I was thinking to myself that this would be the perfect time to put up Mike Boogie and destroy Chilltown once and for all. Seriously, how could James fuck this up? Well, he could start not seeing the obvious. As season six got together to discuss what they should do, they were all trying to get James to put up Jase. I seriously couldn’t believe what I was hearing. How did they let Will actually become the pawn? They talk about taking out the strongest player that is going after them, and they all forget that Dr. Will is ALREADY THERE!
I’ll admit that Jase is a pretty good choice, but after that agreement Jase just made with James, would James go back on his word? I called Kaysar a big pussy for not putting up Dr. Will, but James is an even bigger pussy because apparently he is going to put up Jase. Kaysar tries to explain to Jase how season six came to their decision, and Jase doesn’t understand why they didn’t just put up Boogie, and Kaysar says it is because the people would vote out Boogie and not Dr. Will.
Does anybody see what is wrong with that scenario? If you want to get rid of Dr. Will, but think that people would vote out Boogie, how is that bad? So you don’t get rid of your main taget, but at least you get rid of his main ally! WHY IS THAT BAD? I know that the theory is that you must chop off the head of the snake and the rest will die, but if that snake is Chilltown and you have a chance to cut off it’s tail, shouldn’t you do that? Why let the snake roam around at full stregth. It will just sit back, take it’s time, and bite you in the ass.
Jase was a little pissed about what he saw was going down, and he decided that it was time to start calling people out. Oh man, this is when Big Brother gets good. Jase walks into the backyard where everybody has congregated, and starts throwing a few things to get people’s attention, but for the most part people ignore him. Then he starts to open his mouth.
Jase tells James that he was really surprised that James of all people would take the “bitch route”, and James responds that it is time to talk about numbers, but Jase doesn’t want to talk about numbers, he wants to talk about integrity. Jase thought James had integrity, but now he knows that he does not because apparently James is going to nominate him after their agreement. To me, it seemed like Jase should have waited to get mad until after the nominations, but I guess he was trying to pressure James into changing his mind.
James tried to say that integrity has to work at every level, and then Howie chimed in by calling out Jase for going back and forth between Season Six and Chilltown, and asking if that means Jase has integrity. Jase then decides to call out Marcellas, who would spend all day in the HoH room, and then come down and say “we have to get rid of season six”. Marcellas at first protested that he didn’t want to be brought into this, but after he was called out, he said “Everybody knows that you have to break up season six”, and when on to say that he has told that to everybody, not just jase. Marcellas then reminded him that nobody knew what was going to happen until Jase threw his hissy fit. Now Jase may primp like a queen, but he doesn’t bitch like one. Jase tried to tell James that Marcellas might go to Chilltown next week and go after him, but Marcellas said that everybody talks about all the alliances, because that is “The game”, and this last ditch effort to throw him under the bus wouldn’t work. Marcellas ended the conversation by saying “Now I know why the people in season five hated you!”
SLAM!
WOW! That was some good action. Nice plan James! You should use your time as HoH to get rid of your enemies, not create more! Now, if James were smart, he would have just nominated Mike Boogie. James said that he is doing what is good for the group, but that’s retarded. Last time, he admitted that the was the fourth wheel in the season six alliance, so why go to so much effort to protect them? Jase might have been floating between two groups, but if he isn’t voted out of the house, it means James and season six have a sworn enemy, and they missed a chance to take out Dr. Will.
I thought the excitement was over, and then we came to the veto ceremony. This was actually the best veto ceremony EVER. It’s customary for the people on the block to give their reasons for the veto winner to use the veto, but Will decided to use a different approach. He didn’t want the people to use the veto on him. In fact, he insulted everybody to their face. Will talked about how it was easy for him to get motivated the first time he was in the house in season two because there were people that he hated and gave him motivation. This time, he has no motivation because he hates everybody so much, he can’t make up his mind who to hate more. He then said he would throw every HoH, every veto competition, as well as every food challenge if he wasn’t voted out. His mission would be to make them eat slop.
Quite honestly, Dr. Will’s speech was a thing of beauty. Season six has basically said that they want Will to make an ass of himself because they want to be up against him at the end. At first, it looks like season six gets exactly what they were looking for. Anybody in the jury is going to vote against the jerk that was throwing competitions and making them eat slop. However, Dr. Will just gave himself a built-in excuse. If these people don’t vote to get rid of him, even after he said that he wants to go, and he would terrorize their time in the house, how can they blame him at the end? What’s more, even if he is voted out of the house this week, he can simply said “Well, I wanted to get out, and told people I wanted to leave”, so even in defeat, it looks like the house was only doing what he wanted them to do. As he would later say, he made the target on his back so big that it becaome invisible.
Will’s speech overshadowed another good one by George, who talked abotu second chances, and was so heartfelt, but whatever, if you are on the block and have the veto, it’s not about second chances, but saving your own ass. Gerry gave Marcellas a second chance in season three, but George is just saving his own ass.
George used the veto, and as was predicted, James put up Jase. James said that Jase had shot himself in one foot, and Dr. Will and Boogie shot him in the other, but again, I don’t think it is Jase that comes off looking like the bad guy. Jase looks like a hot head who can’t be trusted, but that’s pretty much what a lot of people felt about him when he came in anyway. If there is anybody who got shot in the foot, it is season six. They really should be targeting the biggest threat in the house, but instead are forced to take out Jase.
Season six talks about how their plan is to take out floaters, but they are really being hipocritical, because they are trying to be floaters themselves. Floaters spend their time in the house trying not to make enemies in hopes that people will keep them around longer, and that is exactly how they have been playing. Floaters try to make people believe that they are not threats to win, and that is what season six has been doing. The fact of the matter is that season six should realize that they are a threat and that they are the most powerful force in the house, and realize that people will be coming after them, no matter what they do.
Instead, their gameplan is to keep Dr. Will around, because people believe that any of them would win if they were in the final two with Dr. Will. And Will has made it easier on them by announcing he would be an asshole the rest of the game. But amazingly enough, Dr. Will is a huge asshole, but is going to look like an underdog when it compared to season six. What season six is going to do is populate the jury house with a bunch of floaters that they were responsible for evicting out of the house. What they should be doing is populating the jury with the type of people who don’t want the floaters to win. What’s the better strategy? We’ve got one long hot summer to find out.
What did you think about the episode? Was James correct in nominating Jase? Should Will or Jase go home? Do you think Chilltown or Season Six has more influence in the house?

I’d vote out Jase too. He’s the strongest non-SOV competitor in the house. Will and Boogie couldn’t win an individual competition to save their lives. They didn’t even made past the slop bowl for god’s sake!
This scenario works perfectly… I never liked Jase. He is a floater and this forces him to drop ‘the nice guy’ dog-n-pony show that he’s been fooling his girlfriend with. Now let see if he’s ready to work for it.
Will is just proving every week why he is the best player in the game. I love watching him. James’ complete distaste for George I found unsettling, and just rude. Go George, My dream is for George to take out James next week. I still want a Will/Janet final 2 but it is getting harder and harder to root for the 6ers when they are all being so cocky and dumb…..all but Howie? Wierd. Go Will!
Oops! I meant to write Janey not “Janet”
Will is using a version of his season 2 plan. In season 2, he said that he was going to lie. At the end, when both finalists had lied, he was less looked down upon for it, because he’d never tried to claim integrity and he’d given a warning they chose to ignore. Now he’s telling everyone that he wants to leave and gives them the perfect excuse to do it. If they don’t and he’s still around in the end, he can once again say that he warned them and they bear more blame than he does.
The more I think about it, the more I hope he is in the final 2. He might lose just based on the “he’s won before” bias, but at least he’s not trying to coddle everyone and pontificating about honesty.
Best episode of the season. By far. What a great hour. This is what Big Brother’s all about!
The fact that Will makes no pretense of decency does not excuse his generally despicable demeanor. That ‘at least Will didn’t pretend’ crap is what won him the game in ’01 and damned if these people should be stupid enough to fall for that again. Talk about overthinking! Vote him out. Will can spin it any old way he pleases but at the end of the day he will have lost just like everyone but the winner.
People keep losing sight of that. This show has always appealed to me because the players don’t really understand that the sensory deprivation is cracking them up. They behave unreasonably because of the boredom and not having clocks or news or books. It put Marcellas on the edge of the knife the first time around. I can’t believe he put his mental health in jeopardy again.
Will manages to stay completely centered under these stressful circumstances and he’s excellent at exploiting everyone else’s breakdowns. So he should go.
I can’t believe these idiots hope to win using the exact same reasoning that led to Will winning the first time. All they had to do was put him up and agree to vote the only winner out.
I hold out hope that Danielle – ever a wily one – is plotting out exactly how to destroy Will before he gets to final two. If anyone can do it, she can.
I cannot effing believe that Kaysar shaved his head. This was such a great episode, I hope it keeps up. Thanks for the great recap J-Unit!
“Kaysar smells better than banana cupcakes” – Marcellas
“The Jase Face – do it America.” – Danielle
I was doing it!
Best episode so far this season…at last!
hb
Again, I don’t see why all this fuss about Will. He is NOT any more of a threat than anyone else, he just gets more airplay. Everyone was laughing at his veto speech. It’s not that they didn’t believe him, it looked more like they didn’t care what he promised to do.
Meanwhile what is all this nonsense Jase keeps talking about being someone who is “here to play the game”? He gave up during the veto competition! How is that “playing like an All Star”? Send this crybaby home.
Whatever happened to James’s philosphy that one doesn’t play Big Brother as a team? Isn’t that just what he did this week? He didn’t want to nominate Jase….the group did. Hmmm.
Also…do you think the producers will actually make George eat slop until BB ends? All Julie asked was how many days they would be willing to eat slop. Not that they were going to have to eat it. Guess we’ll see.
I don’t know how far in advance BB plans the veto competition, but it looked to me like it was geared for George to win.
I was wondering about the slop agreement too. Does this mean he doesn’t have to participate in any more food competitions? Maybe they’ll bring back last season’s lame, never-used, exemption (remember Janey won that but then they got rid of the food competitions?) that someone can give to George in exchange for a vote.
Beachbound: I’m guessing they picked names out of a bag this time instead of using the wheel because they put only men’s names in competition. I bet they would not have asked the women to strip and shave their heads.
One last thought: I don’t believe CT would target S6 themselves, because that would make it looked like they “cared” about winning. They would only get floaters to do their work for them. Plus the floaters are all gunning for S6 directly. It’s smarter to get the floaters out first. Just a thought.
Best episode ever. Dr. Will is a genious. He has come up with the only possibile plan that can work in his favor. He’s like the pied piper with his charm and the others won’t know what hits them. P.S. Loved Kaysar’s halo!
I really hope they don’t vote out Will. He is good TV! Yes, he knows this, but so what? The others believe they are good TV and aren’t. Except for Janelle.
What gets my goat is the Attack Floater strategy is just an excuse. If HG’s really wanted to play the game against the Best, then leave James & Will in the house and get rid of wimpus maximus Erika or more-boring-than-thou Diane. The fact that Erika and Diane are not on the block is that the 6′ers are not really targeting floaters but using them and letting the floaters fly under the radar.
I would rather Chicken George win this then Erika.
Aaaaak! Never, never ever mention Kaysar’s name in the same breath with disgusting Tarshi! They look NOTHING alike.
Will makes me want to puke. Everything he says is so rehearsed and phony. I liked him in season 2, but not now. He is nowhere near the best player in BB history.
I agree–I thought the Veto comp. was stacked in favor of George. I hope they do not make him eat slop for 60 days–that is not healthy. He will get rickets or something from lack of vitamin C. Poor Georgie.
I find nothing wrong with James’ nomination. S6 know that everyone is trying to break them up. In that capacity, Jase is as dangerous as Will or Boogie. It isn’t like you get rid of one of those two and S6 is safe. Jase is a bigger threat.
Will is playing a good game but lets be honest, he has no other way to play it. If he acted nice, then on one would trust him anyway. I just want to see what happens one the next team food competition. Will his buddies be liking him so much if he forces them to eat slop for a week. If he tries that, I think he will force his own ouster.
Rather than taking out floaters, it seems like the S6 alliance is targeting the free-thinkers that could turn the tides against them?
I’m hoping that whomever wins the HOH crown this week takes down Kaysar, after all, as Marcy would say, “his pair of Iraqi peaches are exposed!”
This episode was great! I too started feeling some love for Georgie. He shouldn’t win the game but still, I’m okay with him staying for another week at least. He was so desperate for that veto, it was awesome. I want to know if he really will have to eat slop for the rest of his days in the house or not. I also heard the question as being how many days would he be “willing” to eat slop for the POV.
Anyways, I can’t wait for tomorrow night’s eviction (and the aftermath)!
*Great recap J-Unit! Thanks.
Finally, let the bloodshedding begin! Groups take your sides, fight time.
Hate how Jase tried to pick on the gay guy. Go go Marcellas self-defense manuevers.
CG almost made me cry. So sad that old man.
I predict a big old bullseye on Kaysars back next week since he’s not allowed to participate in the veto comp. Showing how stupid (or arrogrant) he is once again, to think that the HouseGuests aren’t going to go Iraqi hunting next week. Someone vote him out.
AT LAST! i thought for sure we’d be on our fourth or fifth temper tantrum or catfight by this point of the season, and delightfully, jase gave us a little bit of both, by first pointlessly throwing shit around like a neanderthal and then by calling out marcellas, who then proved that it’s not smart to mess with a sister.
thumbs down to james, whose pointless obsession with getting rid of chicken george and cowardly decisions both to backstab jase and to let kaysar be the one to break it to him easily eclipse kaysar’s recent effort for the honor of ‘douchiest HOH.’
thumbs up to chicken george for having the guts to stick it to the cool kids, and to the producers of big brother, for creating a challenge that was impossible for chicken george to lose.
big thumbs up to dr. will, for effortlessly orchestrating his every whim, flaunting his superiority and indifference all the way.
the sad part is, it’s a no-brainer. dr. will is serious: he will not win HOH or the power of veto. jase is a constant threat to win every competition. furthermore, dr. will really is indifferent–he doesn’t need the money, and genuinely hopes to be evicted before sequester. jase, on the other hand, is a failed actor who’s about to get married and be somebody’s baby-daddy. He could really use a stake. At the least, he could use a couple of more weeks to up his value on the post-reality TV circuit so he can make an extra grand here and there signing autographs at theme parks.
I feel sorry for Jase, who’s kind of likable in spite of himself. He has way too big a personality to win the game, but he is great in the diary room, and if he were to stay in the house, the conflict should fester into some good TV. But it really is smarter to ditch Jase, as he is a much more formidable and desperate competitor than will or boogie.
I said it last week and I will say it again…what makes Will so scary? During his whole speech everyone was laughing. I was at home laughing because it was funny. He tries to come off so nonchalant like he doesn’t care, but to me it is so obviously some kind of strategy. It is really transparent. Also he’s not winning any kind of comepetions, and neither is Boogie, but Jase has won HOH once making him more of a threat in my eyes. And all of this talk about getting rid of Boogie? I highly doubt Will will give a shit either way.
subgenre (#17), the really hot floaters get the benefit of the doubt.
I agree that Will’s speech, while probably the best moment of the season so far, was not taken as anything more than a “hail mary” gambit to survive using reverse psychology. If he really wanted to leave, the door is not locked and he could walk out anytime, and they all know it.
Once Jase flew into that rage, there was no turning back on nominating him. If he survives he will go after S6 with a passion and make everyone miserable.
Definitely one of the best episodes ever, and a great recap as well. A strong reminder why we all love BB so much.
Okay first Kaysar and Michael Tarshi look nothing alike. So what he has money he’s hideous!
Dr. Will is not a threat no matter what people think. He wants to go home so badly right? He’s not going to win HoH and neither is Boogie. People need to realize if you really want to get out the better player then it would be Jase. I like him, but he is a major threat to BB6er’s, and flocked to Chilltown the second week of the competition.
Also Jase was not going to go up until he threw his little fit. Boogie was the main candidate and the BB6er’s wanted to see what would happen and they exactly what they wanted. Jase called out his alliance and everyone else’s. He screwed himself hard and even if he stayed he’s a bigger threat than Will. He no longer has nothing to lose, because all his cards are on the table and he doesn’t care who he stabs in the back.
Also stop being so sensitive about Chicken George. He doesn’t deserve to be in the game and the producers messed up big time. This is All-Stars where you are supposed to come with your A game. I don’t have time to see someone float around and be scared to make tough decisions. Also he would be a vote to get rid of the BB6er’s so get rid of him now.
I’m loving the game and I think the BB6er’s are playing smart and they will get rid of a huge threat with Jase. I would like to Will go though. He is annoying as hell and him and Boogie think they are running the house and they can’t win one damn competition.

If they’re going to get rid of people who are scared to make tough decisions, Kaysar should be the first to go. George hasn’t been in the position to make a tough decision yet, like most of the other players so far. Besides, having him as a vote against SeaSick is a good thing.
George is also one of the most memorable House Guests ever. That makes him an All-Star. I don’t know where this idea came from that only the most cutthroat, ruthless, strategic players deserve to be back in. If we had nothing but that it would get very tired very fast. Hell, if it’s based on gameplay, neither Kaysar nor Howie belong back in the house.
Not to you, but to everyone in general. What the hell is wrong with floaters? Last season had the fewest floaters ever, and look at what a mess that was. There’s nothing wrong with getting rid of them as players, but BB is a solo game so I’m frankly tired of this whole trying to force people to choose sides crap.
I think Kaysar looks better with his buzz cut. Chicken George should be happy about a slop diet, maybe he’ll lose some weight and he and that porker of a wife (rememember season 1, anyone?) can get it on.
I agree with most, Boogie should of been up there, instead of Jase.
KH
I’ve been watching youtube clips of the live feeds, and I can tell you, I hate Dr. Will. He is childish and condescending and insulting to the audience. He is ruining the game by bitching and complaining so much. It may be strategy, but its an irritating strategy. I think the producers designed the veto competition so CG would win, and I’m happy they did. If the HGs have any sense, they’ll vote off that obnoxious, obnoxious man.
There is NO need to say that about Georges wife, she isn’t on the show so leave her out of it. James is an ass, that is why Jase is up there. Why nobody nominates Erika is beyond me because honestly at least George is helpful, but what does she do?
I agree with mistichristi..let’s not badmouth George’s wife.
Just for the record…I LOVE Will. He’s just downright funny. Maybe I just have a warped sense of humor.
Dr Will is funny on the show, but an ass on the livefeeds. He’s petulant and a cry-baby. And he’s not even that smart: he’s just good at manipulating people.
In response to JasonR, I don’t remember where or when I heard this, but I think that if HGs voluntarily leave the house, they don’t get their weekly stipend. That could be a reason Will is not asking the producers to leave.
It amazes me that America voted in the oh so interesting Erika & Diane, when right now we could be watching amazing fights between Ivette and Mantroll, and not be botherered by all this floater BS.
Dr. Will is awesome, and in my opinion, the most brilliant BB player ever. Love him or hate him, he has a better understanding of how to play these people than anyone else. If he makes it to the final 2, he deserves to win again.
My guess is that Will stays, just like he wanted and Jase goes home. It’s as it should be. The Seasix will win more HoH comps and POV as well, so they should be able to oust CT somewhere along the way. The floaters will switch alliances at will, eliminating the HGs they deem dangerous at that particular time.
Speaking of lost courage, notice how quiet Danielle and Diane have become after they were placed on the hot seat? There’s a lesson in there.
As for Will’s speech, his popularity will die if he indeed continues to throw the competitions. Notice I said “continues”. He hasn’t tried at all so far.
I worry the producers will enforce the slop rule on Chicken George. Poor guy almost threw up when he was competing for veto. No way he can survive 8+ weeks of slop, even if he could stay in the house that long.
To all of you criticizing Chicken George:
You are not unlike the cool clique from high school. (I imagine many of you, like me, were not a charter member of that club.) Just because he can’t freestyle and isn’t, in general, hot shit, doesn’t mean he deserves the disdain he generally receives. I grant you, he is a bit of a dork. But aren’t all of us, too? We take the time to write in our rantings about a TV show for crying out loud! He’s at least trying, if misguidedly, to fit in. Give the guy a break!
To those who doubt Dr. Will:
Fear Dr. Will. He is using a modified version of his original strategy that, surprisingly, may be more effective than the first precisely because he won the first time. The argument goes, “I won my first time around, had a huge target on my back, made all of you hate me, and still made it to the final two.” Whether he genuinely wants to leave early is questionable, because even if he is in the house and not able to actively practice, he’s getting free publicity.
To Mike Boogie:
Being wealthy does not necessarily make you cool. I want your DOR.
To James and Kaysar:
There is nothing you can do to remove the target from the Season Six alliance’s back. Taking out floaters for altruistic reasons hurts your cause, because your alliance has the numbers. Better to keep them and take out rival factions first. Once Will and Boogie are gone, the floaters can be disposed of at Will.
It was cool to see Howie’s reaction to George’s pep talk. There is actually a human being hiding deep inside the macho facade.
Tabby Lavalamp (#27): “What the hell is wrong with floaters?”
I think what upsets the HG’s about floaters is that no one wants to see someone who plays under the radar as their main strategy win the game. As a fan, I agree with this. I would HATE to see someone like Erika win since all she has done so far (and yes, this is only Week 3, I know) is be invisible. It’s so much more interesting ~ as a fan or player ~ to have the winner be someone who has been a real gamer. As much as everyone hated Maggie last year, she deserved to win because she was the mastermind behind the Nerd Herd.
The HG’s named the floater-to-the-finish as an “Amber Alert” (as in, let’s not have a repeat of Survivor All Stars by having a floater like Amber Brkich win it). Under-the-radar might be a legitimate strategy but it is BORING and usually only contestants with no personality utilize it. On the “All Stars” version, I sincerely hope that a real game player is the one who wins ~ and that would mean NOT Erika!
I personally think if the less interesting HG’s go home, the game play would become a lot more fun to watch. This is why I HOPE HOPE HOPE that Dr Will doesn’t go home… yet.
LadyJ said: Will manages to stay completely centered under these stressful circumstances and he’s excellent at exploiting everyone else’s breakdowns. So he should go.
Um. yeah, duh. That’s why we love him. Will, more than pretty much anyone in the history of the genre, “gets it.” He knows it’s all retarded. His whole thing is a “brilliant” act. He’s going to the Final 2 again. I’m totally gay for Will.
Best.Episode.Ever. This show had something for everyone – Marcellas’ gay musings over Kaysar, Chicken George overcoming all odds to win POV, Dr. Will and his evil shenanigans, blatant Jase-bashing..what more could a BB lover want????
I loved this episode! The only thing that piseed me off was James whining over his precious nominations being screwed up when in fact HE pulled out of the competition before Kaysar 9who was trying to win it for him). How could he be mad when he chose to drop out? Why would Kaysar choose to continue when even the HOH didn’t stay and fight for his noms? I hope that the decision to exclude himself from next week’s POV comp. doesn’t bite him in the ass.
I know it’s all semantics, and I can’t remember how any of the other questions were worded, but if it were as simple as “How many days would you be WILLING to eat slop,” then wouldn’t all the other questions just have had the “threat” of performing them?
“OK, here’s the tub of blueberry juice. Who is WILLING to get into it?” “Who is WILLING to shave their heads?” They turned blue and they shaved their heads. But a no-slop pass would be a nice touch.
And while I appreciate the sentiment that it would be unfair for the women to ask them to shave their heads, I would venture to say anyone who saw V for Vendetta knows how hot a girl with a shaved head can be. And I say that as a card-carrying friend of Lance Bass.
Maybe they’ll have an Americas Choice on whether George should have to eat slop for the duration of his time in the house.
I thought James was going to make decisions that were best for him and Howie. Nominating Jase is not one of them, especially after the deal James made with Jase. Jase wasn’t going to go after James, at least not right away. Boogie and Will are his and Howie’s biggest threats.
Watching Boogie blow chow after a little bit of slop was freaking hilarious. He’s such a punk.
Now there’s an idea I can get behind, Dr. Hunter Douglas. Let us decide if slop for 60 days is cruel and unusual punishment.
boose (#36). Those that criticize Chicken George for being uncool don’t mean it the way you take it. We all have our group. You have to admit Chicken George IS the odd man out in the house. I concur the last POV comp was designed for George to win and I give Kaysar the highest commendation for giving it a try to the end. James is a wuss. I liked his chances up until last night.
Quote of the night by Jase:
“I love being backdoored! Love it!”
Um… I somehow got signed out when I was typing my last comment (though I am retrying and never had to sign back in??) so all that brilliance is ost.
So I’ll just say sg_dub, mad love.
Will amuses me to no end.
Love the recaps and the discussion.
Jase should have been nominated at first. His childish antics are not cool.
Hope my Will!Love never fades.
The End.
Will doesn’t amuse me at all. The skills he brings to this competition are nothing less than indicators of a crappy person. They are, um duh, why I hate him. Then and now.
He should go.
I’m one of the few who likes Jase. If only for the fact that he constantly has his shirt off. James should take a few pointers from him in that respect.
Get rid of Will, household!!
GOODLUCK TO WILL!!!!!!!!!!!
