All aboard the Big Brother roller coaster! Maybe it’s the adrenaline coursing through my veins, but I’m not sure I’ve seen a Big Brother season where we’ve swung from extreme lows to extreme highs so frequently. It seems like every time we’re psyched about something (cough, Kaysar returning, cough) we’re immediately smacked in the face with a big sack of suck (cough, Kaysar getting re-nominated, cough). And just when we’re thinking we might swear off this whole reality opera once and for all, something amazing happens that has us jumping up and down and screaming at the TV.
To all the people who say Big Brother is boring, you don’t know what you’re missing. You don’t know what you’re missing at all.The show began with Julie Chen waiting for us by the Big Brother faux-garden. And such a summertime pleasure she is. Tonight, Julie came to us wrapped up in what J-Unit affectionately called the “Aztec scoop trapezoid cut-out top.” Now, I didn’t really understand the Aztec reference, but I liked the sound of it so I’m saying it (J-Unit said it was like one of those Aztec pyramids had been turned upside down and, well, never mind). Basically, it was some bizarre hybrid of a black leotard top and a sweater. I think. As you can see, it kind of baffled my sartorial vocabulary. Truthfully, there are two things that constantly and eternally blow my mind: the universe and Julie Chen’s wardrobe.
As for the pants, well, the Camel Toe Alert was raised from orange to red as we thought we’d surely see the beast. It wasn’t a question of if, but when. Alas, Julie’s white pants seemed to wash out all details in their radiance, thus leaving us empty handed and, well, a bit sad.
Julie teases us with a glimpse of camel toe. Such a cruel robot.
Anyway, with a spring in her step like she’d just returned from the best Robo-Jazzercise ever, the Chenbot pranced over to her couch to introduce us to this week’s nominees. We then caught our first glimpse of Kaysar, who was looking quite dapper and freshly showered — a means to battle his burgeoning KaysarFro, no doubt. Usually Julie greets the houseguests at this time, but there was a lot on her plate this night. After all, we learned that this would be a double-eviction week. For the first time ever, the HOH would be nominating two house guests for elimination by the end of the hour. Wow. I could already imagine the inevitable Chen malfunctions (we gotta come up with a good word for that. Chenfunctions? Malfunchens? Chenbotches? Hmm. I like that last one).
However, not only did the Chenbot have a lot on her plate this week, so did the viewers as we finally got to see the much talked-about meltdown everyone’s been buzzing about. We started directly after the Veto Ceremony as Kaysar walked away in disgust. “The way that she decides to play the game is very filthy,” said Kaysar, adding, “She’s filthy. And naughty. A naughty, naughty girl!” Kaysar then put his fingers over his mouth and laughed coyly. Okay, no need to turn him into an 18th century fop, but I will say that he’s got to relax a smidge. I love you Kaysar (not like that), but seriously, don’t be one of those righteous jerks. Everyone always gets their panties in a bunch when someone lies in this game, but honestly, it happens all the time. Did Kaysar not remember his little fib to Maggie just before the chess board veto? Not to take a pro-Friendship stance (and yes, don’t worry, I still HATE them), but I’m sure Maggie felt just as stung as Kaysar did. Okay, maybe not as much. Kaysar did endure fourteen hours of button-pushing fun for his betrayal, buuuuut he also didn’t have to let go of the button. Sigh. I won’t rehash. It’s too painful.
Meanwhile, looking like the cat that ate the bird (is that an expression? I think it is. If it isn’t, it should be), James laughed happily in the Diary Room, amazed once again that he’d escaped the chopping block. He’s a clever man, that James. Ever since Howie turned on him, he’s suddenly become “moral” and “in touch with his feelings” — ie. playing Ivette and her clan. And now, look where it’s gotten him: laughing in the diary room… like the cat that ate the CANARY! That’s it!!
By the way, I’d be much more impressed if the cat ate a larger bird. Just saying.
Up in the Head of Household room, The Friendship reconvened to gab and pat themselves on the back and in the case of Beau, make the stupid slumber party beds they’d set up. Little did they know this would be the last moment of peace and quiet in the house for the next few – well, who knows? The chaos is still brewing.
Downstairs, Kaysar confronted Jennifer with a little Cappy-style guilt: “Hey Jenny. Are you proud of yourself? Seriously, how does it feel?” She replied with some empty phrases and nonsensical babbling, eventually causing Kaysar to smile and say, “If you think I’m mad, I’m not mad. I’m amused.” Come on Kaysar. You’re mad. You have to admit it. Maybe just a teensy weensy. You’re a little mad. It’s okay.
Later, Howie, Kaysar, Maggie, Janelle, and April sat around the picnic table outside, still talking about the nominations. The tension was so thick, you could cut it with a knife. I take that back. You would need a machete. Maybe even the jaws of life. April tried to explain Jenny’s actions, saying that the cheerleader shouldn’t be taking the blame because the whole group pressured her to change her mind. No one was buying it though (pretty much because earlier that day, everyone had been saying how they had no idea what Jenny was going to do). It was clear that April was spewing up another fine torrent of bullshit, and so Howie’s man-claws (similar to his borderline man-tits) came out. “Nice Howie is done!” he declared. Uh, how about “Funny Howie”? Can he go also?
A lot of times, hurt reality show contestants like to puff up their ego by believing that they’ll now be some uber-contestant, one the likes of which we’ve never seen before EVER! (thunderclap, lightning, wind) You know what I’m talking about. How many times have we seen doomed players proclaim, “They’re gonna wish they’d never come at me because they do not want to see the dark side of me!” or “I’m not being nice anymore. I’m going to be pure evil!” And then of course forty five minutes later they’re voted off and playing on Battle of the Network Reality Stars.
In the case of Howie, however, he really meant it when he said “Nice Howie is done” because Asshole Dickface Howie suddenly showed up, and that’s when the party really got started. He immediately threatened April, saying that she’s gonna be gone next week, and when she said he was being mean, Howie simply replied, “You’re stuck with me here or the sequester house. Deal with it.” Ouch!
Seconds later Howie added: “You made a bad f*ckin’ decision, honey.” Looks like somebody’s been taking lessons from Beau. Howie then did three air snaps in the shape of a Z, twirled swiveled his head, and sneered, “Talk to the hand, sister.”
“No more cigarettes. No doggie,” Howie taunted as Kaysar and Maggie tried to shut him up. But he was inconsolable. “It’s hurricane season!” he yelled. He then added, “Seriously. It’s hurricane season. I’m a meteorology student. Just felt like sharing. But anyway, where was I? Oh that’s right. April, you’re ugly.”
Hurricane Howie strikes again! Take THAT, food!
Meanwhile, in the zing department, Janelle came up with quite the doozy. “He is looking like an idiot here,” said April, causing Janelle to reply, “At least he doesn’t look like a liar.” ZZZZZZING!!! Round 1 to Janelle!
Later, Howie called April’s husband fat and her dog stupid, I believe. This of course sent her crying into the Diary Room where she bawled, “Howie decided to not only personally attack me, but personally attack my husband and my dog.” He personally attacked your dog??? Has Howie no decency?? Poor Pepperoni!! Or as April pronounces it, “Pepperowwwwni.”
Well, April snuck into the bathroom and prayed to the porcelain gods. Seriously. She used the toilet as a pew (I’m sure Jesus appreciated that) and begged for the strength to make it through the week. Man, the last time she’d prayed this hard was when her son went off to the war. In Korea.
With all this craziness, we nearly forgot that this was actually a Chenbot episode, and so we came back to her standing in the studio with one knee bent ever so slightly, almost as if she was ready to spring forth at any moment and attack the camera. We then went to commercial, and when we returned, we once again descended into the madness of the Big Brother compound as Janelle now took her turn in the crazy bitch department. “Rachel, you’re so beautiful!” exclaimed Janelle as she walked through the house. “Thanks Janelle, so are you!” replied Rachelle. Janelle then set her eyes on Maggie and sneered, “Maggie, you’re such a bitch.” Oh man. Janey is unhinged, folks. And it is awesome.
Later, as Janelle slurped down some wine, April walked by and accused her of being drunk, to which the VIP Waitress responded, “You gold-digging BITCH!” And for the record, April is a gold digger. Seriously. Lest we forget her tales from the great Klondike Gold Rush of 1896.
Next up in Janelle’s crosshairs was Beau, the ineffectual and prissy she-boy whose biggest contribution to this season has been his allegedly huge penis. This was a very interesting little segment because I couldn’t tell if Janelle and Beau were joking or fighting. They were both drunk, and while Janelle jokingly (or maybe not) accused Beau of sleeping with older men, he retorted that she had polyester hair. The two screamed at each other lightheartedly and then even got into each other’s faces while laughing and screamed some some more. But then somewhere along the line, even though what they were saying hadn’t really changed, Beau suddenly got pissed and started yelling for real. Or maybe not. They were laughing. No, they were fighting. Wait… what?
Eventually, other people came out and separated the two, and the final consensus seemed to be that Janelle was toying with Beau, and Beau was just being dumb. “You polyester hair bitch!” he yelled as The Friendship escorted him up to the slumber party. Janelle, meanwhile, rolled her eyes in the Diary Room, saying, “It’s so easy to screw with Beau because he’s such a little bitch.”
Note to CBS: please devote exactly one hour a week to the sequester house this season. I guarantee it will bring you very high ratings.
Anyway, with Janelle brewing up a maelstrom of activity downstairs, April came huffing into the HOH room, declaring that she wanted to keep Kaysar around now. Just when all her buddies seemed about to jump on the bandwagon, Ivette piped up as the voice of reason and told everyone to stick with the original plan. Man, I really don’t like this new “logical” Ivette. Whatever happened to her idiotic flights of Cappy whimsy? Actually, whatever happened to her Cappy fixation at all? With the house fully at war, doesn’t she need Cappy now more than ever? And in the spirit of Cappy bashing, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that the current ugly state of affairs in the house can be directly traced back to a deep divide initially caused by Eric. Who would have thought the house would get so dirty in the wake of such a “clean” player…
The next morning, I kind of thought emotions would have calmed down, but no. Things seemed worse than ever. Howie had now graduated to mocking April’s physical appearance, going so far as to call her “Busto” — because she had a “busted” face (come on Howie. That’s cruel. Anyhoo, I’m gonna go laugh at our April/Crypt Keeper comparisons some more…). April shot back by saying he’d need all the fingers, and while I was momentarily doing a “what the?”, we then zoomed in on Howie’s hand and discovered that he only had four fingers. Huh? How did that happen? Meteorology accident? A five-day forecast gone wrong? Well, Howie was intensely offended by April attacking his poor little stump of a finger, and accused her of taking a low blow. Yeah, busto ugly face with the fat husband and stupid dog! Way to take a low blow!
To Howie’s credit, he did ask quite the relevant question: “How do you feel that America hates you, April?” Honestly, I did want to know the answer. I’m not sure if we Americans hate April the same way we hate Eric and now Jennifer, but I’m pretty sure there’s a strong level of disgust. But I will say one thing. I do hate her stupid dog Pepperoni.
Speaking of the pup, Howie decided to move on from calling April a “big-bosomed busted blonde” and instead focused his attacks on her canine companion. “Hey we making pizza tonight, guys? Wanna make some of that homemade pizza that we made, James?” asked Howie. “We don’t got eggs,” answered James. “We don’t got any pepperoni either!” shot back Howie with zing-tastic glee. It didn’t really make any sense, but I enjoyed Howie’s spirit of “if I say ‘pepperoni’ with the right amount of emphasis, it will be an insult.” I was hoping for other put-downs like “So I was at the store and searching for sausage but all I could find was PEPPERONI!” or “I don’t like high cholesterol things, like PEPPERONI!”
Instead, Howie went a different route, saying that he wanted to put April’s dog on a pizza. That’s kinda nasty, especially since April is the sort of woman who probably lets her dog lick her toes. Don’t want that on my pizza. Still, the nonsensical threats worked their magic, and soon April was up in the HOH room bawling again. Just when we thought The Friendship might be breaking, Ivette suddenly stood up and made an eloquent speech about sticking together and keeping mentally strong. WTF? Did I not just say that I hate this new “voice of reason” from Ivette? Must she mock my every word?
Pepperoni pizza: forever ruined for April.
Back in the live studio, Julie rose from her couch like a camel-toed Jack-In-The-Box as she delivered her second “But first!” of the evening and introduced various voting testimonies from the diary room. Nothing too interesting was said, but I did notice that James picked up the annoying “Wear a symbolic accessory” trend as he kept Sarah’s lavender sash tied around his neck. I suppose it was a sweet gesture, but it looked more like he’d had an unfortunate run-in with Carson Kressley.
Later, after the commercial break, Julie Chen talked with Jen up in the HOH room and asked her why the hell she had nominated Kaysar. Jen conveniently played the innocent card, saying it was the group’s decision, not hers. Suuure. If the group decided you should never do a cartwheel again, would you obey also? NO! Because you can’t stop doing them, can you BITCH? So stop blaming the flipping group!
Sorry, random outburst.
After the Chenterrogation, we saw more Diary Room discussion and blah blah BLAH, no commercial break, just back to Chen Central. She greeted the house guests and immediately cut to the chase, asking Kaysar and Janelle to say a few words to their roommates. The ever so dashing Kaysar rose to his feet, and interestingly enough, did not address his living room, but our living room instead. Yes, he was talking to America — to us — and in a gracious yet passive aggressive way, managed to thank the viewers and slam Jennifer all at once. It was brilliant; although, I don’t really know why. Maybe it’s because on some level, Kaysar knows that getting in tight with the viewing public could lead to bigger and better things for him outside the house. Or maybe it’s because Kaysar knows that April and Jennifer and Beau will be mortified if they realize America does not, in fact, love them.
Janelle addressed the house next, and while I was expecting fireworks from her, she remained civilized (I’m sure the producers warned her) and gave an angry but well-stated speech, declaring that she’d never lied in the game. Finally, it was time for the results, and by a unanimous vote, Kaysar was evicted AGAIN. Hey producers, how about another round of the ole America’s Choice? You know, just for shits and giggles. PLEASE.
Well, Kaysar left the household; although, this second departure was much colder than the last. Kaysar seemed to only hug members of his crew (he even got a smooch from Howie), but I wasn’t sure if Kaysar was pulling a neo-Cappy move by shunning his enemies because he did embrace Beau. I’m thinking that The Friendship was just too cowardly to do anything beyond a casual pat on the back goodbye.
And so Kaysar left the Big Brother house and returned to Julie Chen who greeted the evictee with her rapid-fire, spring-loaded handshake. I kind of wish the producers would add a “boing” sound every time the Chenbot’s hand zips up from her side. Here, we’ll give you an example:
Click on Kaysar to see the Chenbot extend her hand…
But anyway, for the third time in as many weeks, Kaysar arrived back on Julie’s couch where he endured a whole new round of Chenterrogation. When asked why he was back so quickly, Kaysar said he had too little information and put too much trust in the wrong people. But, he reasoned, “I couldn’t have done it any better.” Uh, you could have kept your finger on the button, jerk.
When it came time for the goodbye messages, Janelle only had wonderful things to say, noting “You are one of the smartest people I’ve ever met.” Keep in mind she works as a “VIP Cocktail Waitress.” Not a lot of bright bulbs at the workplace…
Jen left a message too, trying to clarify one last time her actions. You see, when she made the deal, she intended to keep her word. But, well, she didn’t. “To me that’s not lying. I ended up breaking my word. That’s what I did,” she said. So you see, Kaysar? It was all a misunderstanding. She didn’t lie. She just merely broke her word. Makes perfect sense.
“You see, Julie, I am a handsome man.”
Well, the smiley Kaysar politely dismissed Jennifer (and his teammates for not doing what they were supposed to do in his absence. Thanks, HOWIE), and soon it was time to move onto the Head of Household competition. This week’s game was called “Face the Facts,” and for a moment, I thought Julie Chen might suddenly be doing some trash talkin’. You know, like “Hey Ivette. Yo’ ass is so big, when your beeper goes off, people think you’re backin’ up. FACE THE FACTS!!!” But no, this was one of those contests where people had to answer Julie’s questions by flashing a photo of an evicted houseguest.
Julie kicked off this HOH battle (or “P-battle” as she called it) relatively smoothly, but soon her inner-wiring began acting up as she snapped at contestants who were taking too long with their responses. “Howie, I NEED an answer!” said our impatient cyborg hostess. I could nearly smell the smoke coming out her escape valve.
Eventually, it came down to April, Janelle and Beau in a tie-breaker, and in case I wasn’t already nervous about another week of Friendship reign, we now had one of those nail-biting Price Is Right guessing scenarios where the contestants had to write down how many light bulbs they thought were used in the box-office luxury competition. These always drive me nuts because you just never know how they’ll turn out. Well, Janelle put what appeared to be her number up (300), but since it was upside-down, the Chenbot was unable to process the digits. “Janelle, you’re upside down,” she alerted, possibly on the verge of another breakdown. Janelle made a little oops sound, flipped her card and presented the actual number she wanted, 275. Well, the correct answer was 289 and you guessed it, our little Janey won Head of Household!!! And yes, much excitement was had in the TVgasm offices. And to think, she nearly missed it by a measly eleven bulbs. Thank goodness for the Chenbot’s inability to read upside down. Otherwise, we may have been stuck with another week of Friendship power-mongering.
As Janelle shrieked and hugged her allies, we then witnessed one of the most enjoyable power transfers ever. Janey pointed her finger in Jennifer’s face triumphantly and tauntingly, causing the outgoing HOH to throw the key down to the grass spitefully. Where’re your cartwheels now, BITCH?
This pretty much sums up the way I feel too.
Anyway, we still had a little business to attend to. Janelle was whisked off into the Diary Room where she would learn about tonight’s twist, but not before encountering some technical high jinks that nearly caused the Chenbot to full-on crash. You see, Janey’s microphone wasn’t working, causing the Chenbot to pause with that blank, “Why are you doing this to me on live TV?” look. I truly feared for the Chenbot’s life because at any moment, it was clear that her head might start shaking back and forth rapidly and violently until finally the build up of steam would simply force her noggin to pop off like a cork, exposing a mess of wires and circuitry.
Luckily, Janelle’s microphone situation resolved itself before the Chenbot could explode, and we watched with vicarious glee as Janey happily learned that this week would be a double-eviction week. Unfortunately, I think our new HOH mistakenly believed that she’d get to eject two different people from the game, but alas, we would not be so lucky.
When Julie broke the news to the house guests, Howie reacted similarly by jumping to his feet and yelling “YES!!!” Once he simmered down, Janelle came out of the Diary Room and revealed her nominations: Jennifer and Maggie. Wonderful. We’re finally, FINALLY back on track to take out some Friendship numbers. This was actually a brilliant move. Assuming that Ivette allies with Maggie, and Beau and James follow what Ivette does, we can safely assume they’ll vote against Jen. If Janelle’s group wants Jen gone, all they have to do is add their two votes and Presto! Mission accomplished. But if Janelle’s group wants Maggie gone, all they have to do is vote against her, and with April’s vote (because she’s not going to vote against Jennifer), it should go to a tie, with Janelle casting the deciding vote.
Clever girl…
And so it was only appropriate that as the show came to a close and we “eavesdropped” on the house guests, we witnessed a vengeful Janelle mock, “Bye-bye bitches!” Bye-bye indeed! Here’s to a roller coaster ride that just won’t quit.
What did you think? How will these nominations change the house?
How satisfying was that? Loved the expression on the Friendsheep faces when Janelle won, but did anyone notice that Janelle’s first number was 300 upside down? Had she not changed it she would have lost. Is that why the Chenbot hesitated, all circuits shouting “Danger, damger!”
That damned Jenn, though, she’s going to be trouble. Not much time for the three amigos to do some strategizing, but I would say that they HAVE to get the POV now, don’t you think?

Best. Episode. Ever. I wish we could send Janelle contributions — what a treasure. My favorite part was April kneeling at the toilet to pray.

What an episode! My brother, who never logs onto TVgasm, pointed out Julie Chen’s robotic nature and I thought instantly of the site. Maybe now he’ll log on…
When Janelle won, you would’ve thought it was a football game. My brother did one of those jump up from the couch and run from one side of the room to the other. I simply pumped my fist in the air but the outcome was the same and one of the “friendhsip’ will have to go.
Kaysar was very dignified as he could be and I totally accepted his apology. I hope to see more of him in the future. Great Recap!

Damn! (hand slapping forehead). There is no power of veto for this eviction, is there? Hmmmm. Wouldn’t it have been better to nominate April, then? To break up the couple? Or, how about Ivette? I agree, she’s suddenly broken out of the Cappy spell and she’s weirding me out because she’s making a lot of sense and displaying some very cool thinking. That IS a secret revealed!
Loved the Beau and Janelle fight. What a hissy fit! Glad Janey didn’t lose it and knee his big cock, because she would have been ejected. Also, let’s give Howie credit for angering the Friendsheep and causing them to splinter somewhat.
Howcum no one voted for Janelle, even if just in token moral support of Kaysar? Was it because they all wanted to show him their displeasure for his fuck-up? At least he showed the grace of admitting that he did fuck up.
Yesterday I was thinking April and Jen were suddenly displaying some brains, but I was wrong. They simply had a momentary lapse from their usual ineffectiveness and pulled off a good move.
So, let me get this straight, changing your mind on a promise given is not lying? How is that possible? Our cheerleader royally fucked up, going from a fuzzy bunny to Wile-E-Coyote without the laughs.
Now, who do you think will get voted off Saturday? I say Jenn.

Here’s how I would handle things from here if I was Howie and Janelle: if Maggie or Jenn wins POV, put up Beau, start telling April “We aren’t going to put you up you old bag, we want you locked in here with us” which will cause April to hang herself, and start really focusing all ridicule and torture on Ivette. She is most likely to “Go all Cuban on your ass” and smack someone. One smack= triple eviction week!
it didn’t sound like there would be a veto ceremony this week until chenbot declared that we would find out saturday at 8 “how the veto will impact the nominations”, right before the end. so i’m not quite sure about what to expect.
great episode though, and even better recap! thanks a lot!

Great recap. I am unable to watch this year and I can’t wait for your version of events. You even got me to vote for Kaysar to get back into the house. Keep up the good work. Hopefully they can keep together long enough to get rid of the friendship.

What a great episode, and re-cap. My only hope is that being in power doesn’t change Howie and Janelle’s tactics. I want them to keep being mean to the Nerd Herd. I loved seeing it even though CBS tried to make them look bad for it, we all know it was deserved. I wish Chenbot had asked J-blo about her actually being the one that tried to get Ivette out, but alas, no hard questions from the Chenbot. And what a childish thing throwing the key to HOH when Janelle won. I couldn’t keep from jumping up and down and pumping my fist (Howie style) when Janelle won HOH. Now I’d love to see Rachel win it on Saturday. I’m afraid if Howie wins the next HOH he’ll do something stupid again and blow it for himself, Janelle and Rachel.
I can’t believe I had my doubts about this season at first. It has evolved into the best and most brutal BB ever! Last night’s episode was a doozy. I think the producers knew they had to do something to make the actual broadcast show competitive with all the live feed chatter. Good job!

Actually, it is more Maya than Aztec but I digress.
Um…when did Ivette become the voice of reason?? I am glad you said something because I thought I was the only one that noticed she actually had a logical thought without having to mention Cappy. Although I hate Jennifer I have to agree with her, if Kaysar wanted his plan to work he should have kept his finger on the button but I did shed a tear when I saw him go. I only hope that Howie or Rachel wins the next HOH so they can pick off another “friendship” member.

I am so high today! Janelle and Howie played their cards right by attacking the Friendsheep psychologically. Even though they focused their attacks on April it affected the other members of the house. Literally in every scene with Howie going after April and Janelle with Beau, Maggie was in the background bitting her nails to a nub. So was JBlo. People facing the death penalty seem less tense. Great gameplan Soveriegn 3.
And the Chenbott was in rare performance last night. Just FLAWLESS baby! The Chen dropped the cheesepuff questioning with Jennifer and literally asked her “Bitch what was going through you mind when you put up America’s Choice?” and “Blowjob giving whore, why did you lie and how can you justify it?” Sooo she didn’t say those things but her questions were along that line. Great algorithm updrage Chenbott.
Finally, I’m starting the line of men who wants to bang Janelle. Smart & Beautiful with a vengeful glee… As BeauBitch would say “LOVE IT!!”

Actually, Janey said it was a low blow to April when she commented on Howie’s missing finger (the result of some sort of pipe bomb(?) fight when he was younger). Howie couldn’t care less and told her as much.

I couldn’t WAIT to read your recap after last night’s episode. I was going back and forth about what your headline would be and completely agree with your choice. Although in my childish glee I may have gone with something like BEST EPISODE EVER! It truly was an emotional rollercoarster.
I’m soooooooo over Kaysar. He was given two chances and he fucked up. His own fault.
Great show last night! When I saw Janelle up there with two of the friendsheep in the HOH competion my heart nearly stopped. I thought we were gonners but then she actually pulled it off!!
I hope Rachel wins the next HOH competion. I agree with the poster above, if Howie wins he may find a way to fuck it up.
First, Maggot has to go then the James/Ivette alliance has to be broken.
Good luck to us.

I can’t believe Jen threw the key, can you say LOSER with no CLASS what so ever?!
It’s been mentioned, but for you west coasters, it appears that CBS edited out the best part of the “transfer of the HOH key.”
Janelle gave Jen the finger right up in her grill. (as the screencap above can attest too.) it’s a shame the West Coast TVgasm offices were not able to see this glorious moment.
My heart was aflutter.

B-side great recap, again!!
The only thing funnier is the live feed recaps on Jokers update for this week. They are REALLY long daily updates, but god damn it they are F*ucking hysterical!! Some excerts from Wednesday:
“….Kaysar thinks that backstabbing America’s choice is going to backfire on Jenn, because she thinks she’s going to be famous and well-liked when she gets out of the house….Kaysar also says that the tabloids will have April with a headline, “Half-woman, half-bird.”
…..Kaysar gets a little joy from the fact that April will be known as “Busto” from now on. She’ll walk into meetings, and people will ask, “Aren’t you Busto?” Kaysar goes, “Can you imagine, five years from now….when she’s 50?” (LOL)….
And I think the best Howie quote I’ve heard yet (he just might be funny some times)!
…Rachel tells Howie that America doesn’t want to see sissies. Howie replies, “But America doesn’t want to see sissies. America knows about Busto (April). Don’t worry America, I’ll do what I can to get Busto out of here for you.”…Janelle says the best thing that ever happened in the game was Eric leaving and Kaysar coming back. Howie retorts, “No, the best thing about this game was Eric leaving and Eric not coming back.” (When he gets his mind off boobies, Howie can be pretty funny.)
And to those that heard about ‘Bannergate’ and wondered which HG saw it.
…In the exercise room, April wants to talk about the banner. She says to Maggie, “You saw what it said, right? Did you see it?” Maggie tells April she’s not going to talk about it…April tries to press Maggie about the banner and we get FISH…..
….They wonder about the banner and what it cost. (It doesn’t appear that any of the HGs got a good view of what the banner said.)…April thinks someone like her mother or her husband may have paid for a banner for her, saying something like, “Kill Howie.” (Uh no, April. Don’t think so.)
….Apparently the banner read something like, “JBlo and Yapril America wants your DOR.” (Departure On Request).

BEST. BB. SEASON. EVER.
Finally, people start saying what they hate about other houseguests TO THEIR FACE! No more of this backtalk….put it all out there and have fun. Best moment was Janelle walking by Maggie and saying “You’re such a BITCH!”
Awesome stuff this year.
And what the hell happened to Ivette. Did the results of the “America’s Vote” crumble her Cappy fixation? Did she realize that if everyone watching the show hated her pocket-savior and nullified his sainthood? Has James been filling her in on all the double-crossing and backtalking that The Midget was doing?

So, what exactly is going to happen next episode now that there’s going to be a double eviction AND a change of HOH coming up? How are they going to fit all of that in? Does something special happen during double evictions? And are we done with food competitions now or something?
I was disappointed that they didn’t show Beau puking all over the place, which is apparently what happened later in the evening after he and Janelle fought, according to the live feeds.
That moment in the Diary Room with Janelle’s microphone malfunction was probably the most awkward moment of the whole season so far. I though Chenbot was going to reach into the TV screen and bitchslap Janelle.
It’s really weird how all of the sudden Ivette has taken over as the leader of The Friendship and Maggie is just kind sitting back and watching it all happen.
Awesome recap.

ok, so i have never witten in like this but i had to. In fact, I was moved to.
Now, i cannot fathom why April, as vapid as she might be, might not have turned around and told the over-inflated blowhard Howie, that before he calls her husband fat, he should take another glimpse of himself in that speedo. The only reason people asked him to try on that stupid thing, was to laugh at (A) his giant pooch hanging over and (B) how good he thinks he looks.
Its like the big flabby disgusting pot calling the kettle fat….
….or actually, like the “VIP waitress” (aka: “mid-priced prostitute”) accusing the “personal shopper” (aka: “man whore”) of sleeping with old people for money…

If they were smart they would have voted her out last night just b/c she acted like and ass and made herself a target.

God that was good! I smoked a cigarette after last night’s show.
I wonder if there is something wrong with me that I took such pleasure in watching Howie and Janelle taunt the F’sheep. It was delicious!
I thought Janelle’s nominations were brilliant. I loved Chenbot’s near malfunction when Janelle gave 2 different answers in the HOH tiebreaker.
This has been the best episode with only one exception; it comes in second to the show where Kaysar backdoored Eric and had that Don Corleone talk w/Maggs in the backyard. And speaking of Kaysar, I totally accepted his apology last night and have forgiven him for taking his finger off the button for that skank, Jen.
I completely missed the HOH key exchange, but I haven’t erased it from my DVR so I’ll definitely watch it tonight.
One more thing… If you still haven’t checked out JokersUpdate, you really should. The daily recaps are great.
Definitely the best episode ever. Great recap. You rock!

Truth: the TV gasm is even better than the show. We get to commiserate when our favorites lose ground and go absolutely bananas when “we” win something.
Regardless of what anyone says, the BB is the best I’ve seen. Chenbot gives me acid reflux but I like her better than Jeff Probst and ANY of Fox’s hosts on their reality shows. There’s something very endearing about her mannerisms. Hey, she makes us laugh, right?
I’ll say it again: Howie and Janelle were absolutely fucking BRILLIANT last night, setting the entire Friendshit into disarray. And, oh, my God, such sweet revenge on that fucking “Arena” cheerleading troll. Loved the way she looked like a deer in the headlights. Throw her increasingly fat ass out NOW!

Moments of Class:
1. Howie bringin’ the Hurricane. Nothing says ‘bully’ like psychologically tormenting your opponent, trying to get them to voluntarily leave.
2. Jennifer throwing down the keys.
3. Janelle and ‘Bye Bye Bitches’. Howie and them immediately reminding her that they are ‘live’. Who the fuck cares anymore? Time was when 7pm was the family hour, even on the Tiffany network. No longer – that is what the episode should have been called – ‘Bye Bye Bitches’.
4. And my favorite: Ivette in the Diary Room stating that some of the things Janelle says leave her ‘dumbstruck’. Uh, okayyyy.
The perfect double feature to go with last night’s episode: the first show of the new season of Celebrity Poker Showdown, featuring Johnny Fairplay. Man. Talk about class.
Apparently, with the likes of Cappy and Kaysar now gone for good, there is no one left in the house to remind anybody that it is (say it with me, folks) ‘JUST A GAME’. I guess maybe that is the point – it isn’t just a game, anymore.
“Where did all the good people go? We’ve got heaps and heaps of what we sow.’

Tony A. #5 – If you’ll recall, James was the only one who voted for Kaysar to stay the first time. I think he changed his vote to make it unanimous, to convince the Friendsheep he has been rehabilitated.

B-side: I thought for sure that you would follow up that priceless picture of Janelle, captioned ‘Clever girl…’ with a pic of Jennifer and her new moniker: ‘…stupid girl’.

When I pleaded for double eviction, I meant APRIL and HOWIE. Did no one on the show hear me? Get rid of these people!
April crying because Howie attacked her husband and dog “when they’re not here to defend themselves”???? April, if your dog can respond to a verbal taunt, he is not a real dog but A CARTOON CHARACTER.
Howie doing his stupid What Up Kaysar cheer after … voting to evict him TWICE. Way to go, schmuck. Best buddy a guy could ever have.
Ivette’s comment on the Beau-Janelle fight was pretty funny: “They were telling the truth about each other, but no one wants to hear the truth about themselves when they’re drunk.”
how about the question james missed in the hoh competition? he guessed sarah was the one who couldn’t spell in the spelling bee. way to be supportive, j…

Okay, a couple of things. To anyone that thinks the S4 went over the line with their attacks this week, you are wrong. If you think the cult are bitches from the show, you should watch the live feeds. They are horrible, miserable human beings.
Ivette’s Cappy obsession is still in full force. She at least mentions him every single f’ing day. For some reason CBS is not showing it anymore. I really felt from the editing of last night’s show that they were trying to slant it in favor of the cult.
I wish Kaysar were still in the game b/c he is so lovely to look at and such a genuinely nice guy but after last night’s episode, I am pretty happy it was Janelle that stayed. I think I might have a bit of a girl crush on her now!

Kaysar told his team not to vote for him because he knew he was going out anyway. The other team had more votes so instead of making his team chose between he and Janelle, he told them to vote him out to avoid any weirdness. All of you bashing him for being dumb, he’s not dumb, he’s just way to respectable of a person for this show.

Hey scorpiella, I wouldn’t worry about the editing so much. The popularity polls on the cbs website (which has to be at least somewhat impartial, right?) shows the popularity levels of the friendshits at a very low level and shrinking, and the S3 at a high level and growing. Just make sure to look at the numbers and not the relative heights of the bars. I would think most viewers have made up their minds by now who they favor in the BB6 war. I think Howie would actually have to eat a “pepperoni” pizza for people to change their minds about who to root for.

I also have to agree that the personal attacks were a good psychological game plan, as well as really the only option they had left. Apparently, along with lying, personal attacks are not against the rules, and more power to Howie & Janie for doing it. I damn near thought April’s dentures were going to fall out she was crying so hard in the DR. Karma’s a mothereffer, ain’t it Friendshits? All I can say is bye bye bitches! Jen has become this season’s Alison Irwin, and as much as she says she doesnt care, she does, or she wouldnt have tossed the key.
Yeah, um, “breaking my word” is not the same as lying….. ok Jen, you are a real gem. I bet your man is real confident in your relationship now… Lets all pray you never reproduce.

B-side .. great recap!
Oh where to begin ….
Love love love that Howie is calling the FriendSheep the Nerd Herd .. that shit’s funny. I also love how he’s mindfucking April and she’s folded faster than a paper lawn chair .. and then she’s lying about what he said. Priceless. Give this woman some geritol stat!! Her mind is eroding faster then the number of houseguests. For real. And I’m sorry, but the idea of her in Playboy … so she can show that Senior Citizens are worth looking at?! She isn’t but still … shouldn’t she consider being the centerfold for something like AARP or Soldier of Fortune or Guns and Ammo … one that is more up her alley?!
And Jen is so pathetic. She didn’t ‘lie’ she just broke her word? Now I understand why she lied on the psych exam required before entering the house. She is fucking dillusional. And apparently she isn’t even a cheerleader/ dancer — she’s an late 20 something living w/her parents … and desperately wants to make it big someway somehow and thought that this could be her ticket out. Wow she was so wrong. So very wrong.
And back to April for a minute … she’s so stupid.
Beau … now I understand the low profile .. if any of his ‘clientele’ (ie: sugardaddies who pay for his company) see him on tv they may stroke out.
And where the fuck did this new Ivette come from?! She went from classic stalker material to being an almost logical voice of reason .. ICK. Bring back the loud mouth low class trashy ghetto loving girl we came to loathe in the early part of the game!!!

sorry I had to get my inhaler from laughing and choking over that last comment
Jen is a spoiled insolent child who has prolly applied to be a contestant on like EVERY SINGLE reality show ever produced and it’s just so sad that the one she was actually selected for is one that makes her look like a perpetual 7th grader. Anyone know what sorority she and April are sisters of?! I’m petrified that it could be mine and I would be mortified if they were my ‘sisters’ … oh the horror …

Kaysar is the best. The way he handled Jen lying and backstabbing him was totally classy and he should be proud of himself.
Howie and Janelle’s behavior disgusted me. Hello people, it’s a game! If I were a friend or relative of Howie or Janelle, I’d be so ashamed of them.
Not saying I’m a fan of the friendship, but the way Howie and Janelle screamed at everyone and baited them just made me sick.
Their behavior reminded me of the lunatics on Paradise Hotel like Toni, Zach and Amy who terrorized the opposing group when the game all of the sudden wasn’t going their way.
In my opinion, no amount of money justifies treating people like that.
You don’t have to like everyone, but tearing people down and treating them like shit because they betrayed you on a game shows what foul human beings they are.

Now, I have to admit, she tried to weasel her way out of it instead of standing up for what she did, which was brilliant.
Kayser is a tough and smart player, game-wise, it was the best move to make.
I guess I am the only person who doesn’t like Janelle. I mean, sure she makes for some good TV, but I don’t want her to win. Besides some ok boobs, there isn’t much there.

Also I wanted to add my two cents about Janey’s answers. She had actually written 300 but then fipped the page to write 275, AS she was writing 275 Chenbot THOUGHT she was showing an answer (upside down) but Janey was actually still writing 275 instead.

It is Crappy’s fault this all turned personal. He didn’t use his power to play the game wisely, he used it to protect the wimmenfolk from that psycho sexual predator pedophile (slander courtesy of J-Whore). The ruthless way the Friendsheep victimized Michael really pissed Kaysar and Janelle off, and when Kaysar won power, the lines were drawn over who took which side in this issue.

My point?
I was rooting for Howie & Janelle, but seeing them terrorize people like that changed my opinoin totally and I find it hard to understand how so many people actually like what they’re doing.
Everyone on that show has talked shit about everyone else, but spending every waking minute tearing people down, making them cry, and trying to get them to run out of the house screaming makes them really low human beings in my opinoin.
The worst part? They actually enjoy making others feel as low as they possibly can drag them.
No one in that house is innocent. Everyone’s shit talked, and everyone’s lied. But I think what they’ve done takes it to a new and disgusting level.
So my point? They are really shitty human beings and unlike so many others, I am not enjoying watching this. That’s my point.

There’s your difference.
The Friendsheep keeps name calling on the S3, from racism to sexist comments, not thinking that shit’s gonna get back to the S3.

The Friensheep have been calling people terrorist, whores and liars simply because they feel like it.

Pitting best friends against each other on the block is mean, so is lying or “going back on your word”, so how is it any different to conciously decide “I can’t vote you out so I’ll just be mean to you until you want to leave on your own”. Anyone who has been watching the live feeds knows that nobody has done more trash talk than the “Friendship”, they are just too chicken to confront anyone about it.

You go! I was hoping that I was not the only one that hates “janey”. God I cannot stand her trampy hooker ass! I am sorry that everyone in america thinks that she is so great. As for the deal between Kaysar and jen I agreee there too! Her change of the nominating plan was awesome and that was perfect for getting Kaysar’s ass out! Don’t get me wrong he seems like a great guy and all, but the S team worships him as much as the friendship or sheep whatever- worshiped Eric. The fact is that THIS IS A GAME and Eric and Kaysar were both excellent leaders and they both had to go(for game sake)It would have been cool to see Eric come back strictly for the response from all those who hated him and his followers. I am sick of people bitching about “doing things out of spite and keeping their words” SHUT UP OR GET OUT OF THE GAME. Even April should quit her crying- this is supposed to happen and if you can’t take it go home!

Poor, poor Jen. She got a little taste of power with HoH, decided to turn it “up a notch,” and now she will be making a hasty exit in Kaysar’s dust. If only she had kept her stupid, greedy mouth shut, she would have lasted a long time. Poor, poor Jen. As Ivette said, payback is a bitch!
I loved seeing the realization on Jen’s face last night when she realized she was SCREWED! Ha, ha, ha, HA!
Anyone notice Jen and Ivette’s smug little smirks during Janelle’s eviction ceremony speech, when she commented that at least she had never lied during the game. Ugh. Stupid bitches.

I’m so upset that Janelle didn’t get to give the eviction ceremony speech that they usually give. I bet it would have been priceless! My friend and I discussed that she probably wouldn’t have given the bs explanations they usually give, it would have been something like “I nominated you two because I hate you and you are bitches.”

For those that don’t have live feeds…an explanation. Both times Kaysar has been put up, and the numbers were clearly against him, he has ASKED his team to vote him out (probably so there would be no chance of a tie, and HOH is always the tie-breaker). In regard to last night, he did not want any chance of Janelle being evicted. His team was not going behind his back, they were doing as he asked.

Jen is an bunghole. She could have easily slid by and won that thing, but she got power hungry. And on the live feeds she was a c*nt about her HOH room. Like she was the f’ing First Lady or something. Trash b*tch!
When Janelle won, my bf and I were dancing and hugging like a personal friend just won something.
That “Friendsgip” group are mean and nasty. What Howie and Janelle did/said to them is exactly what they are doing, but they do it behind people’s backs. It’s disgusting. They were acccusing Rachel of calling Kaysar a terrorist at one time when it was Ivette that does that. They are SO SO SO MEAN to Rachel behind her back. They get what ever is coming to them.
I almost went into toxic shock during the HoH competiton. I’ve been rooting for Janelle to get HoH since the first episode when she knocked over a fake pot plant within seconds of entering the house (and didn’t even notice) and then “made enemies” with Eric minutes later.
No matter who wins the money at this point, I’d say that Kaysar, Janelle and Howie (to an extent) can probably pick up a bundle – imagine Howie and Janelle on the Amazing Race. While April and Jen will have to go into hiding or have (more) grotesque face-altering plastic surgery.
As much as I dislike April, I am concerned about her mental state. I’m afraid she might try and kill someone, but would probably break all the bones in her brittle arthritic hand if she tried.
As funny as I find it as a viewer, I think Janelle and Howie are being a bit cruel and obnoxious. Still, The Friendship are just as culpable of chenanigans, and I love that their whole moral high ground that they always trumpeted about is now gone.
Heh. Bastards.
Can’t wait to see their reactions when they find out their popularity rankings are so low. They’ll probably blame it on CBS, saying they didn’t get a fair edit. Of course.
Maybe your not fully informed. Why don’t you listen/read what the stupid friendcult was saying so cowardly behind everyone’s backs (i.e racism, lying, name calling etc).
At least Howie and Janey had the balls to say it to peoples’ faces!
LONG. LIVE. QUEEN. JANEY!!

I swear, I prayed to the TV gods last night for Janelle to win HOH and when she did, I nearly cried tears of joy! She rocked and her acceptance of that key made my TV life 10x’s better.
“Bye Bye Bitches!!!”

Okay B-Side, because I love you and you have stated you do not watch the live feeds, I will let it pass that you don’t agree w/ Howie & Janey’s tactics. Cappy’s cult are seriously the worst people I have ever seen. It’s as though they don’t realize those cameras on the wall are recording what they are saying. If you wouldn’t feel bad about people taunting Hitler, you shouldn’t feel bad for these bitches.

Let me preface this by saying that I like Janelle…
Okay, Janelle, the hair-flip routine has GOT TO GO. It’s getting as old and tired as, uh, April! We know that you think that it makes you more photogenic, honey, and we got it.
Please, for the love of God, make it stop or we’ll be forced to refer to every future hair-flip as “the Janey.”.
Scorpiella, you have to admit, they’re being obnoxious. Completely warranted though. See, we both agree!

It’s about 8:30pm Eastern and I’ve had fishtanks for about 5 hours. Either there’s a long veto competition going on or April finally snapped and took someone out…
BTW, if and when those fishtanks come down, feel free to discuss what happens in the forums.
But for now, no veto spoilers in these comments please…

hey im sorry if this has been posted already (too many comments to read through… so i guess why would anyone be reading mine? ha), but – howie didnt say that april’s finger comment was a low-blow. janey was the one who said that. in fact, howie said that he didnt care about april’s comment at all.
also, did you catch james say ‘oh great’ after he heard that janey would get to nominate two more people that night? the way he said it was so funny, it was as if he thought that he was so screwed.
Man just when I’m about to give up on this show knowing the scumbags were going to rule the roost, they do something like this and im back in. This was AWESOME. GOd I love Janelle. I truly love that polyester haired bitch. Shes smart funny, and got a nasty sarcastic mean streak. I was desperatly hoping for a nip slip in the live diary room scene.
And Aprils crying fit because someone called her husband fat and, gasp!, made fun of her dog!!! My favorite was when she said it was realy mean because “they” werent there to defend themselves. April, its a fucking dog. It really doesn’t give a shit.
And to defend howire, he didnt say it as a low bloew, Janelle did. He doesnt care. I think he said something like how that was an easy insult and hes used to it. FUckin Busto and her chinplants.
THis episode was so good I signed up for the live feeds, and found out the bastards have turned them off until saturday to keep the evicted houseguest a secret. Goddamit.

the power has been switching back and forth all season long.
but i was still really happy that janelle won even though it lacked surprise.
i loved howie telling off april.
and janelle being a bitch.
and i was appalled when jen threw the key, what’s her problem?
all in all it was a fun show with out ill carried out strategies for me to scream at the tv. it couldn’t have been better.
here’s to the best season yet.

I am a heterosexual female who, as a result of all her time reading TVGASM BB Updtes, is now completely glued to her screen each Thursday night hoping for glimpse of the infamous Chenbot Cameltoe. And this past Thursday when it seemed it would be there I was eager with anticipation. It seemed to me like she holds those little cards in place specificaly to hide the ‘toe’ and I have a feeling that’s a direct result of TVGASM.
You guys rock! Even if you DO make me obsess over weird things.

I was away for a week, so i got to watch tuesday’s, thursday’s and saturday’s episode last ngiht and I’m dying for the recap of late night’s episode… my tivo cut off during jenny’s chenterview, so i missed the hoh comp. I hate that i am so dependent on that stupid machine lol. Thanks for being her tvgasm…looking forward to the next recap!

All I can say is AWESOME! Just awesome.
How satisfying was that? Loved the expression on the Friendsheep faces when Janelle won, but did anyone notice that Janelle’s first number was 300 upside down? Had she not changed it she would have lost. Is that why the Chenbot hesitated, all circuits shouting “Danger, damger!”
That damned Jenn, though, she’s going to be trouble. Not much time for the three amigos to do some strategizing, but I would say that they HAVE to get the POV now, don’t you think?
Best. Episode. Ever. I wish we could send Janelle contributions — what a treasure. My favorite part was April kneeling at the toilet to pray.
What an episode! My brother, who never logs onto TVgasm, pointed out Julie Chen’s robotic nature and I thought instantly of the site. Maybe now he’ll log on…
When Janelle won, you would’ve thought it was a football game. My brother did one of those jump up from the couch and run from one side of the room to the other. I simply pumped my fist in the air but the outcome was the same and one of the “friendhsip’ will have to go.
Kaysar was very dignified as he could be and I totally accepted his apology. I hope to see more of him in the future. Great Recap!
Damn! (hand slapping forehead). There is no power of veto for this eviction, is there? Hmmmm. Wouldn’t it have been better to nominate April, then? To break up the couple? Or, how about Ivette? I agree, she’s suddenly broken out of the Cappy spell and she’s weirding me out because she’s making a lot of sense and displaying some very cool thinking. That IS a secret revealed!
Loved the Beau and Janelle fight. What a hissy fit! Glad Janey didn’t lose it and knee his big cock, because she would have been ejected. Also, let’s give Howie credit for angering the Friendsheep and causing them to splinter somewhat.
Howcum no one voted for Janelle, even if just in token moral support of Kaysar? Was it because they all wanted to show him their displeasure for his fuck-up? At least he showed the grace of admitting that he did fuck up.
Yesterday I was thinking April and Jen were suddenly displaying some brains, but I was wrong. They simply had a momentary lapse from their usual ineffectiveness and pulled off a good move.
So, let me get this straight, changing your mind on a promise given is not lying? How is that possible? Our cheerleader royally fucked up, going from a fuzzy bunny to Wile-E-Coyote without the laughs.
Now, who do you think will get voted off Saturday? I say Jenn.
Here’s how I would handle things from here if I was Howie and Janelle: if Maggie or Jenn wins POV, put up Beau, start telling April “We aren’t going to put you up you old bag, we want you locked in here with us” which will cause April to hang herself, and start really focusing all ridicule and torture on Ivette. She is most likely to “Go all Cuban on your ass” and smack someone. One smack= triple eviction week!
Last night’s episode…well, it completed me.
Pass me a cigarette.
it didn’t sound like there would be a veto ceremony this week until chenbot declared that we would find out saturday at 8 “how the veto will impact the nominations”, right before the end. so i’m not quite sure about what to expect.
great episode though, and even better recap! thanks a lot!
Great recap. I am unable to watch this year and I can’t wait for your version of events. You even got me to vote for Kaysar to get back into the house. Keep up the good work. Hopefully they can keep together long enough to get rid of the friendship.
What a great episode, and re-cap. My only hope is that being in power doesn’t change Howie and Janelle’s tactics. I want them to keep being mean to the Nerd Herd. I loved seeing it even though CBS tried to make them look bad for it, we all know it was deserved. I wish Chenbot had asked J-blo about her actually being the one that tried to get Ivette out, but alas, no hard questions from the Chenbot. And what a childish thing throwing the key to HOH when Janelle won. I couldn’t keep from jumping up and down and pumping my fist (Howie style) when Janelle won HOH. Now I’d love to see Rachel win it on Saturday. I’m afraid if Howie wins the next HOH he’ll do something stupid again and blow it for himself, Janelle and Rachel.
Rick D.
My favorite part was when April said to Howie something to the effect of “You think you can make me cry, but you can’t.”
This was after the first time that he made her cry but before the second time he made her cry.
Shut up, April!
I can’t believe I had my doubts about this season at first. It has evolved into the best and most brutal BB ever! Last night’s episode was a doozy. I think the producers knew they had to do something to make the actual broadcast show competitive with all the live feed chatter. Good job!
B, I haven’t laughed so hard since…well, since your last recap.
James, my hopes rest on you. Stop being Mr Veto and win an HOH already, will ya?
Actually, it is more Maya than Aztec but I digress.
Um…when did Ivette become the voice of reason?? I am glad you said something because I thought I was the only one that noticed she actually had a logical thought without having to mention Cappy. Although I hate Jennifer I have to agree with her, if Kaysar wanted his plan to work he should have kept his finger on the button but I did shed a tear when I saw him go. I only hope that Howie or Rachel wins the next HOH so they can pick off another “friendship” member.
I am so high today! Janelle and Howie played their cards right by attacking the Friendsheep psychologically. Even though they focused their attacks on April it affected the other members of the house. Literally in every scene with Howie going after April and Janelle with Beau, Maggie was in the background bitting her nails to a nub. So was JBlo. People facing the death penalty seem less tense. Great gameplan Soveriegn 3.
And the Chenbott was in rare performance last night. Just FLAWLESS baby! The Chen dropped the cheesepuff questioning with Jennifer and literally asked her “Bitch what was going through you mind when you put up America’s Choice?” and “Blowjob giving whore, why did you lie and how can you justify it?” Sooo she didn’t say those things but her questions were along that line. Great algorithm updrage Chenbott.
Finally, I’m starting the line of men who wants to bang Janelle. Smart & Beautiful with a vengeful glee… As BeauBitch would say “LOVE IT!!”

PS. Wassup Kaysar! He is so Phyne.
Actually, Janey said it was a low blow to April when she commented on Howie’s missing finger (the result of some sort of pipe bomb(?) fight when he was younger). Howie couldn’t care less and told her as much.
B-side, you have totally outdone yourself this time. Hilarious recap!
I couldn’t WAIT to read your recap after last night’s episode. I was going back and forth about what your headline would be and completely agree with your choice. Although in my childish glee I may have gone with something like BEST EPISODE EVER! It truly was an emotional rollercoarster.
Your recap was poetry.
I heart Janelle.
Best exchange of the HOH key ever!
1. Janey pointing her gleeful finger at stupid Jen
2. Jen throwing the key
3. Janey flipping her the bird in front of America.
Bye Bye Bitches, indeed!!!
Great recap. Follow up it up with this chaser – a site devoted to hate of the future star of the midget wrestling foundation.

Here’s a screencap of Janelle flipping off Jennifer
http://www.realitytvmagazine.com/photos/uncategorized/janellefinger1.jpg
Oh it’s so glorious!
I’m soooooooo over Kaysar. He was given two chances and he fucked up. His own fault.
Great show last night! When I saw Janelle up there with two of the friendsheep in the HOH competion my heart nearly stopped. I thought we were gonners but then she actually pulled it off!!
I hope Rachel wins the next HOH competion. I agree with the poster above, if Howie wins he may find a way to fuck it up.
First, Maggot has to go then the James/Ivette alliance has to be broken.
Good luck to us.
Totally awesome episode and I so happy Janelle won HOH. This recap was great! LOVED IT!
I can’t believe Jen threw the key, can you say LOSER with no CLASS what so ever?!
It’s been mentioned, but for you west coasters, it appears that CBS edited out the best part of the “transfer of the HOH key.”
Janelle gave Jen the finger right up in her grill. (as the screencap above can attest too.) it’s a shame the West Coast TVgasm offices were not able to see this glorious moment.
My heart was aflutter.
B-side great recap, again!!
The only thing funnier is the live feed recaps on Jokers update for this week. They are REALLY long daily updates, but god damn it they are F*ucking hysterical!! Some excerts from Wednesday:
“….Kaysar thinks that backstabbing America’s choice is going to backfire on Jenn, because she thinks she’s going to be famous and well-liked when she gets out of the house….Kaysar also says that the tabloids will have April with a headline, “Half-woman, half-bird.”
…..Kaysar gets a little joy from the fact that April will be known as “Busto” from now on. She’ll walk into meetings, and people will ask, “Aren’t you Busto?” Kaysar goes, “Can you imagine, five years from now….when she’s 50?” (LOL)….
And I think the best Howie quote I’ve heard yet (he just might be funny some times)!
…Rachel tells Howie that America doesn’t want to see sissies. Howie replies, “But America doesn’t want to see sissies. America knows about Busto (April). Don’t worry America, I’ll do what I can to get Busto out of here for you.”…Janelle says the best thing that ever happened in the game was Eric leaving and Kaysar coming back. Howie retorts, “No, the best thing about this game was Eric leaving and Eric not coming back.” (When he gets his mind off boobies, Howie can be pretty funny.)
And to those that heard about ‘Bannergate’ and wondered which HG saw it.
…In the exercise room, April wants to talk about the banner. She says to Maggie, “You saw what it said, right? Did you see it?” Maggie tells April she’s not going to talk about it…April tries to press Maggie about the banner and we get FISH…..
….They wonder about the banner and what it cost. (It doesn’t appear that any of the HGs got a good view of what the banner said.)…April thinks someone like her mother or her husband may have paid for a banner for her, saying something like, “Kill Howie.” (Uh no, April. Don’t think so.)
….Apparently the banner read something like, “JBlo and Yapril America wants your DOR.” (Departure On Request).
Did anyone else notice Janelle shouting gimmie the f**king key , you bitch! at Jennifer as she ran at her after winning HOH? We watched that not less than 30 times last night. It honestly gave me mutiple TVgasms.
BEST. BB. SEASON. EVER.
Finally, people start saying what they hate about other houseguests TO THEIR FACE! No more of this backtalk….put it all out there and have fun. Best moment was Janelle walking by Maggie and saying “You’re such a BITCH!”
Awesome stuff this year.
And what the hell happened to Ivette. Did the results of the “America’s Vote” crumble her Cappy fixation? Did she realize that if everyone watching the show hated her pocket-savior and nullified his sainthood? Has James been filling her in on all the double-crossing and backtalking that The Midget was doing?
So, what exactly is going to happen next episode now that there’s going to be a double eviction AND a change of HOH coming up? How are they going to fit all of that in? Does something special happen during double evictions? And are we done with food competitions now or something?
I was disappointed that they didn’t show Beau puking all over the place, which is apparently what happened later in the evening after he and Janelle fought, according to the live feeds.
That moment in the Diary Room with Janelle’s microphone malfunction was probably the most awkward moment of the whole season so far. I though Chenbot was going to reach into the TV screen and bitchslap Janelle.
It’s really weird how all of the sudden Ivette has taken over as the leader of The Friendship and Maggie is just kind sitting back and watching it all happen.
Awesome recap.
I too pumped my fists in the air while also running back & forth across the room high fiving and screeching with GLEE!!!!! I ended up jumping on the bed where I almost decapitated myself with the ceiling fan…. THIS is joy people.
PLEASE please PlEaSe . . .please let Howie or Rachel win HOH on Saturday it is our only hope of BB maintaining this awesome pace and giving us loyal tvgasm-ers continued reason to live.
long live the king.
I thought this season was going to be the most boring season yet.
OH HOW WRONG I WAS!!!
This is FABULOUS!!!!!
I’m hyperventilating!!!!
“I’m sorry I cheated on you with the pool boy. When I stood up in front of all our friends and family and swore to be faithful and forsake all others, I wasn’t PLANNING on going back on that. You see, I didn’t LIE so much as I went back on my word. And to me, that’s different”.
What a moron.
She flipped her off on air? There’s probably gonna be a fine or talking to if the FCC notices. How did I miss all this during Janelle’s victory dance?
Anyway the episode had me in stitches the whole time.
ok, so i have never witten in like this but i had to. In fact, I was moved to.
Now, i cannot fathom why April, as vapid as she might be, might not have turned around and told the over-inflated blowhard Howie, that before he calls her husband fat, he should take another glimpse of himself in that speedo. The only reason people asked him to try on that stupid thing, was to laugh at (A) his giant pooch hanging over and (B) how good he thinks he looks.
Its like the big flabby disgusting pot calling the kettle fat….
….or actually, like the “VIP waitress” (aka: “mid-priced prostitute”) accusing the “personal shopper” (aka: “man whore”) of sleeping with old people for money…
Janelle looks like she does have polyester hair! I wish that skank would hurt herself and have to go home. If I was Maggie or Jen(being on the block and all)I would punch her out and then kick her in the head a few times. If they were smart they would have voted her out last night just b/c she acted like and ass and made herself a target.
Forget double eviction week, I had a double orgasim when Janelle won HOH. Great show!
God that was good! I smoked a cigarette after last night’s show.
I wonder if there is something wrong with me that I took such pleasure in watching Howie and Janelle taunt the F’sheep. It was delicious!
I thought Janelle’s nominations were brilliant. I loved Chenbot’s near malfunction when Janelle gave 2 different answers in the HOH tiebreaker.
This has been the best episode with only one exception; it comes in second to the show where Kaysar backdoored Eric and had that Don Corleone talk w/Maggs in the backyard. And speaking of Kaysar, I totally accepted his apology last night and have forgiven him for taking his finger off the button for that skank, Jen.
I completely missed the HOH key exchange, but I haven’t erased it from my DVR so I’ll definitely watch it tonight.
One more thing… If you still haven’t checked out JokersUpdate, you really should. The daily recaps are great.
http://www.jokersupdates.com/jarticles/article.php?article=721
Hey people, don’t be hatin’ on our girl, Janelle!
Definitely the best episode ever. Great recap. You rock!
Truth: the TV gasm is even better than the show. We get to commiserate when our favorites lose ground and go absolutely bananas when “we” win something.
Regardless of what anyone says, the BB is the best I’ve seen. Chenbot gives me acid reflux but I like her better than Jeff Probst and ANY of Fox’s hosts on their reality shows. There’s something very endearing about her mannerisms. Hey, she makes us laugh, right?
I’ll say it again: Howie and Janelle were absolutely fucking BRILLIANT last night, setting the entire Friendshit into disarray. And, oh, my God, such sweet revenge on that fucking “Arena” cheerleading troll. Loved the way she looked like a deer in the headlights. Throw her increasingly fat ass out NOW!
Moments of Class:
1. Howie bringin’ the Hurricane. Nothing says ‘bully’ like psychologically tormenting your opponent, trying to get them to voluntarily leave.
2. Jennifer throwing down the keys.
3. Janelle and ‘Bye Bye Bitches’. Howie and them immediately reminding her that they are ‘live’. Who the fuck cares anymore? Time was when 7pm was the family hour, even on the Tiffany network. No longer – that is what the episode should have been called – ‘Bye Bye Bitches’.
4. And my favorite: Ivette in the Diary Room stating that some of the things Janelle says leave her ‘dumbstruck’. Uh, okayyyy.
The perfect double feature to go with last night’s episode: the first show of the new season of Celebrity Poker Showdown, featuring Johnny Fairplay. Man. Talk about class.
Apparently, with the likes of Cappy and Kaysar now gone for good, there is no one left in the house to remind anybody that it is (say it with me, folks) ‘JUST A GAME’. I guess maybe that is the point – it isn’t just a game, anymore.
“Where did all the good people go? We’ve got heaps and heaps of what we sow.’
—-
Tony A. #5 – If you’ll recall, James was the only one who voted for Kaysar to stay the first time. I think he changed his vote to make it unanimous, to convince the Friendsheep he has been rehabilitated.
—-
B-side: I thought for sure that you would follow up that priceless picture of Janelle, captioned ‘Clever girl…’ with a pic of Jennifer and her new moniker: ‘…stupid girl’.
ha!
I glad the recap mentioned that Janelle’s first answer was 300. I thought I was seeing things. So, can contests change their answer just like that?
# 42: Duh. Read the above comments.
When Ivette was give the Sheep that pep talk, telling them to stick to their original plan, I was just waiting for her to say, “It’s what Cappy would have wanted.” Alas, that moment never came.
Loved last night’s Ep!!
I just wish that Janelle had nominated BeauBitch instead of Maggie. It would have split the friendtards’ alliance a bit more because Ivette would have had to campaign against Jenn, and it would have been a shot to break up one of the 2 remaining pairs (Ivette/Beau, April/Jenn).
When I pleaded for double eviction, I meant APRIL and HOWIE. Did no one on the show hear me? Get rid of these people!
April crying because Howie attacked her husband and dog “when they’re not here to defend themselves”???? April, if your dog can respond to a verbal taunt, he is not a real dog but A CARTOON CHARACTER.
Howie doing his stupid What Up Kaysar cheer after … voting to evict him TWICE. Way to go, schmuck. Best buddy a guy could ever have.
Ivette’s comment on the Beau-Janelle fight was pretty funny: “They were telling the truth about each other, but no one wants to hear the truth about themselves when they’re drunk.”
how about the question james missed in the hoh competition? he guessed sarah was the one who couldn’t spell in the spelling bee. way to be supportive, j…
as for chenbot malfunctions, there were so many i’m tempted to say there was a glitch in the chentrix last night…
Okay, a couple of things. To anyone that thinks the S4 went over the line with their attacks this week, you are wrong. If you think the cult are bitches from the show, you should watch the live feeds. They are horrible, miserable human beings.
Ivette’s Cappy obsession is still in full force. She at least mentions him every single f’ing day. For some reason CBS is not showing it anymore. I really felt from the editing of last night’s show that they were trying to slant it in favor of the cult.
I wish Kaysar were still in the game b/c he is so lovely to look at and such a genuinely nice guy but after last night’s episode, I am pretty happy it was Janelle that stayed. I think I might have a bit of a girl crush on her now!
Did you see Janelle’s face when she nominated Maggie? It was priceless, so full of malice.
“….or actually, like the “VIP waitress” (aka: “mid-priced prostitute”) accusing the “personal shopper” (aka: “man whore”) of sleeping with old people for money…”
It’s not an accusation when Beau admitted it.
Kaysar told his team not to vote for him because he knew he was going out anyway. The other team had more votes so instead of making his team chose between he and Janelle, he told them to vote him out to avoid any weirdness. All of you bashing him for being dumb, he’s not dumb, he’s just way to respectable of a person for this show.
Yvette seems to be the voice of reason through editing but she’s done her fair share of ugly talk during this whole week, calling Kaysar ugly names and such. She hasn’t lost her “CUBAN” persona.
Hey scorpiella, I wouldn’t worry about the editing so much. The popularity polls on the cbs website (which has to be at least somewhat impartial, right?) shows the popularity levels of the friendshits at a very low level and shrinking, and the S3 at a high level and growing. Just make sure to look at the numbers and not the relative heights of the bars. I would think most viewers have made up their minds by now who they favor in the BB6 war. I think Howie would actually have to eat a “pepperoni” pizza for people to change their minds about who to root for.
Janelle is my hero. If Jen or Maggie win POV, they should back-door Beau.
Oh wait–

Back-door Beau… too funny!
In the live feeds, April is talking about doing Playboy. She said she would do it if she didn’t “have to show her box.” (Oh great, now I have that mental image to deal with.)
Yikes! April in Playboy??? I wonder if she’s referring to the AARP version.
I also have to agree that the personal attacks were a good psychological game plan, as well as really the only option they had left. Apparently, along with lying, personal attacks are not against the rules, and more power to Howie & Janie for doing it. I damn near thought April’s dentures were going to fall out she was crying so hard in the DR. Karma’s a mothereffer, ain’t it Friendshits? All I can say is bye bye bitches! Jen has become this season’s Alison Irwin, and as much as she says she doesnt care, she does, or she wouldnt have tossed the key.
Yeah, um, “breaking my word” is not the same as lying….. ok Jen, you are a real gem. I bet your man is real confident in your relationship now… Lets all pray you never reproduce.
GO JANEY!!!
I don’t usually post anything either but I had to today. I am a gay man but damned if I don’t want to boink Janelle right now.
Oh
my
god
BEST EPISODE EVER!!
BYE BYE BITCHES!!!!!!
hjordanc:
93% approval rating for Kayser as of last night. That is recockulous!
I forgive you, Kaysar!! xo!
Go Janie!
Love obnoxious Howie and LOVE the way he made Ape cry!
And thank you TVGasm as I NEVER would’ve started watching this show but I wanted to be “in the loop” for the awsome recaps! THANK YOU!!!
B-side .. great recap!
Oh where to begin ….
Love love love that Howie is calling the FriendSheep the Nerd Herd .. that shit’s funny. I also love how he’s mindfucking April and she’s folded faster than a paper lawn chair .. and then she’s lying about what he said. Priceless. Give this woman some geritol stat!! Her mind is eroding faster then the number of houseguests. For real. And I’m sorry, but the idea of her in Playboy … so she can show that Senior Citizens are worth looking at?! She isn’t but still … shouldn’t she consider being the centerfold for something like AARP or Soldier of Fortune or Guns and Ammo … one that is more up her alley?!
And Jen is so pathetic. She didn’t ‘lie’ she just broke her word? Now I understand why she lied on the psych exam required before entering the house. She is fucking dillusional. And apparently she isn’t even a cheerleader/ dancer — she’s an late 20 something living w/her parents … and desperately wants to make it big someway somehow and thought that this could be her ticket out. Wow she was so wrong. So very wrong.
And back to April for a minute … she’s so stupid.
Beau … now I understand the low profile .. if any of his ‘clientele’ (ie: sugardaddies who pay for his company) see him on tv they may stroke out.
And where the fuck did this new Ivette come from?! She went from classic stalker material to being an almost logical voice of reason .. ICK. Bring back the loud mouth low class trashy ghetto loving girl we came to loathe in the early part of the game!!!
So last night was one of the better eps in the history of the show, but the best is still yet to come. Can you imagine how much fun it’s gonna be to watch the Sheep turn on eachother?! Oh that shit’s gonna be funny as all hell. Especially b/c they are all so slick, suave and strategic players ….
sorry I had to get my inhaler from laughing and choking over that last comment
Jen is a spoiled insolent child who has prolly applied to be a contestant on like EVERY SINGLE reality show ever produced and it’s just so sad that the one she was actually selected for is one that makes her look like a perpetual 7th grader. Anyone know what sorority she and April are sisters of?! I’m petrified that it could be mine and I would be mortified if they were my ‘sisters’ … oh the horror …
#48 I couldn’t agree more. I said that to someone else who only watches the tv show. I then copy/pasted some of the conversations the “friendshit” has had in private, showing them to be classless, racist, petty women. At least Howie gets it out right to their face.
J-Unit: “boing” … omg, laughing my ass off.
That HOH key exchange was hysterical. I can’t believe they edited it out for the west coasters. Shows what a poor sport J-blow really is.
I HATE this show! But I can’t stop WATCHING!!
Yapril in Playboy!?! What would Peperonni think? I would have expected that to come out of J-blo’s (the college blow job queens) mouth!
I have to agree with ya B-side, I would defintly tune into watch the sequester house. What an excellent idea!
I never thougt I would say it but, the BB6 wars, has there ever been better reality TV moments than this? Probably not.
Last nights episode ruled!
Hell yeah bitches!
Copycat: I just checked. No, there has never been a better reality tv moment then last night.
Kaysar is the best. The way he handled Jen lying and backstabbing him was totally classy and he should be proud of himself.
Howie and Janelle’s behavior disgusted me. Hello people, it’s a game! If I were a friend or relative of Howie or Janelle, I’d be so ashamed of them.
Not saying I’m a fan of the friendship, but the way Howie and Janelle screamed at everyone and baited them just made me sick.
Their behavior reminded me of the lunatics on Paradise Hotel like Toni, Zach and Amy who terrorized the opposing group when the game all of the sudden wasn’t going their way.
In my opinion, no amount of money justifies treating people like that.
You don’t have to like everyone, but tearing people down and treating them like shit because they betrayed you on a game shows what foul human beings they are.
#67 Yeah, and what’s your point?
Re: Jennifer’s parting video to Kaysar –
Much as I hate her, she is correct. There’s a difference between lying and breaking your word.
Neither is necessarily forgivable, but they’re differnt offenses. A person can be honest but untrustworthy.
Will someone please explain the blow job references referring to Jenn? I think I missed something…
Pepperoni OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Several times on the live feed Jen has bragged about her reputation for blowing the male population of her college.
Why all the Jen hate?
She played Kayser like a fiddle and got his ass kicked out again after a 2nd chance. It was his mistake to let go of the button and then they were all pissed when she didn’t do what she said she was going to do. Have you ever seen this show? It is all about lying!
Now, I have to admit, she tried to weasel her way out of it instead of standing up for what she did, which was brilliant.
Kayser is a tough and smart player, game-wise, it was the best move to make.
I guess I am the only person who doesn’t like Janelle. I mean, sure she makes for some good TV, but I don’t want her to win. Besides some ok boobs, there isn’t much there.
And yeah, I actually wanted eric back in the house to piss those other people off.
#69
That’s FOS. full of shit
For those who would like to contribute to team kaysar. Pretty funny.
teamkaysar.com
Adam (#6) – totally agree. Keep April around and keep on picking away at her! It’s only a matter of time before she DOR’s!
tj (#35) – don’t hate “our” Janey biotch!
Also I wanted to add my two cents about Janey’s answers. She had actually written 300 but then fipped the page to write 275, AS she was writing 275 Chenbot THOUGHT she was showing an answer (upside down) but Janey was actually still writing 275 instead.
Re: #41
It is Crappy’s fault this all turned personal. He didn’t use his power to play the game wisely, he used it to protect the wimmenfolk from that psycho sexual predator pedophile (slander courtesy of J-Whore). The ruthless way the Friendsheep victimized Michael really pissed Kaysar and Janelle off, and when Kaysar won power, the lines were drawn over who took which side in this issue.
I only watched the first three episodes of Big Brother I and never watched it again because I thought it was a snoozer. Well, because of all of J-Unit and B-Side’s ranting and promotion of this show, I decided to tune in at the beginning of the season to give it another shot- This show is so addicting that I am preoccupied with it, now. I watch the live feeds, read all of the recaps. I am absolutely enthralled with this show. My husband hates reality television, but last night I caught him sneaking glances at the TV when he thought I
wasn’t watching him. He’s hooked, but won’t admit it. AWESOME!!!!
BYE BYE BITCHES !!!!
Best BB line so far this season. I kelly, kelly, kelly this show!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#69 I agree with your definition between lying and breaking your word. BUT…when you know when you make the promise that you have absolutely no intentions of fulfilling said promise (and wink in the process) then your lying through your teeth.
Did anyone else catch J-blo’s explanation in the diary room that part of her agreement with Kaysar had expired because it was discussed an hour before he took his hands off the button. Now that takes BALLS!!
#68 Jules-
My point?
I was rooting for Howie & Janelle, but seeing them terrorize people like that changed my opinoin totally and I find it hard to understand how so many people actually like what they’re doing.
Everyone on that show has talked shit about everyone else, but spending every waking minute tearing people down, making them cry, and trying to get them to run out of the house screaming makes them really low human beings in my opinoin.
The worst part? They actually enjoy making others feel as low as they possibly can drag them.
No one in that house is innocent. Everyone’s shit talked, and everyone’s lied. But I think what they’ve done takes it to a new and disgusting level.
So my point? They are really shitty human beings and unlike so many others, I am not enjoying watching this. That’s my point.
oh i agree, there’s TOTALY a difference between lying and breaking your word. Lying has an intrinsic undertone that you realize what you’re doing/saying when you’re saying it. Nobody’s saying that breaking your word is a good/upstanding thing to do- but it is definitely not outright LYING.
Happy birthday, Barb!
#80 Disgusting…
Yes your are. Howie and Janelle was doing exactly what the Friendhseep were doing behind the S3′s back. Howie and Janelle said fuck that we’ll bring the shit to your face.
There’s your difference.
The Friendsheep keeps name calling on the S3, from racism to sexist comments, not thinking that shit’s gonna get back to the S3.
Whereas the S3 takes the direct approach. I prefer S3 because they’re not pissing in your face and telling you it’s the breeze.
By the way… Janelle is my HERO!! I put her drunk picture on my computer wallpaper. I love her unapologetic approach. Long Live the Queen!!!!
In addition Howie and Janell didn’t call anyone in the Friendsheep out of their name. They took what Beau and April have told them (from Beau dating older men to April not needing the money because of her financial situation to Jennifer blowing the entire Fraternity) and expressed it in a matter of fact way.
The Friensheep have been calling people terrorist, whores and liars simply because they feel like it.
I’m all for Howie & Janelle taking J-to-tha-blowjob and Busto down a few notches too.
And man, is this season making me glad I’ve never tried out for Big Brother!
#80- I would be disgusted by it too if I didn’t know it was part of their strategy. Pitting best friends against each other on the block is mean, so is lying or “going back on your word”, so how is it any different to conciously decide “I can’t vote you out so I’ll just be mean to you until you want to leave on your own”. Anyone who has been watching the live feeds knows that nobody has done more trash talk than the “Friendship”, they are just too chicken to confront anyone about it.
Was Jens false oath the first in Reality Television history while making a deal during a crucial contest? I know everybody makes false back door deals but I have never seen anyone (ie:Survivor, BB) lie outright in front of everybody in a contest such as HOH and then just renege later.
Fantastic recap. I found TVgasam last month and want to send a BIG THANK YOU!! You have made the best season of Big Brogther EVER even BETTER!!
Whoever posted “I heart Janelle” LOL and I am right there w/ you!!
Go Janelle you’re fantastic!!
Ditto Howie – keep Ape in tears!!
Hang in there Rachel and WIN the next HOH! PLEASE!!
I’ve got to agree with America’s Next Top Fan. Howie and Janelle are calling things like they are. Howie has had enough of pussie-footing around the “friendship” (cool name by the way).
The Friendship has personally attacked people since the first show! They immediately took a dislike to Janelle, then Michael b/c he dared to be friends with her. They are the WORST…hypocritical and self righteous and so self involved! hello … is God really that interested in BB April?
#72 user57
You go! I was hoping that I was not the only one that hates “janey”. God I cannot stand her trampy hooker ass! I am sorry that everyone in america thinks that she is so great. As for the deal between Kaysar and jen I agreee there too! Her change of the nominating plan was awesome and that was perfect for getting Kaysar’s ass out! Don’t get me wrong he seems like a great guy and all, but the S team worships him as much as the friendship or sheep whatever- worshiped Eric. The fact is that THIS IS A GAME and Eric and Kaysar were both excellent leaders and they both had to go(for game sake)It would have been cool to see Eric come back strictly for the response from all those who hated him and his followers. I am sick of people bitching about “doing things out of spite and keeping their words” SHUT UP OR GET OUT OF THE GAME. Even April should quit her crying- this is supposed to happen and if you can’t take it go home!
Poor, poor Jen. She got a little taste of power with HoH, decided to turn it “up a notch,” and now she will be making a hasty exit in Kaysar’s dust. If only she had kept her stupid, greedy mouth shut, she would have lasted a long time. Poor, poor Jen. As Ivette said, payback is a bitch!
I loved seeing the realization on Jen’s face last night when she realized she was SCREWED! Ha, ha, ha, HA!
Happy Birthday Barb!
Anyone notice Jen and Ivette’s smug little smirks during Janelle’s eviction ceremony speech, when she commented that at least she had never lied during the game. Ugh. Stupid bitches.
I’m so upset that Janelle didn’t get to give the eviction ceremony speech that they usually give. I bet it would have been priceless! My friend and I discussed that she probably wouldn’t have given the bs explanations they usually give, it would have been something like “I nominated you two because I hate you and you are bitches.”
#83 amygirl: I’m with you – Long live the Queen!!
For those that don’t have live feeds…an explanation. Both times Kaysar has been put up, and the numbers were clearly against him, he has ASKED his team to vote him out (probably so there would be no chance of a tie, and HOH is always the tie-breaker). In regard to last night, he did not want any chance of Janelle being evicted. His team was not going behind his back, they were doing as he asked.
Jen is an bunghole. She could have easily slid by and won that thing, but she got power hungry. And on the live feeds she was a c*nt about her HOH room. Like she was the f’ing First Lady or something. Trash b*tch!
When Janelle won, my bf and I were dancing and hugging like a personal friend just won something.
That “Friendsgip” group are mean and nasty. What Howie and Janelle did/said to them is exactly what they are doing, but they do it behind people’s backs. It’s disgusting. They were acccusing Rachel of calling Kaysar a terrorist at one time when it was Ivette that does that. They are SO SO SO MEAN to Rachel behind her back. They get what ever is coming to them.
I almost went into toxic shock during the HoH competiton. I’ve been rooting for Janelle to get HoH since the first episode when she knocked over a fake pot plant within seconds of entering the house (and didn’t even notice) and then “made enemies” with Eric minutes later.
No matter who wins the money at this point, I’d say that Kaysar, Janelle and Howie (to an extent) can probably pick up a bundle – imagine Howie and Janelle on the Amazing Race. While April and Jen will have to go into hiding or have (more) grotesque face-altering plastic surgery.
As much as I dislike April, I am concerned about her mental state. I’m afraid she might try and kill someone, but would probably break all the bones in her brittle arthritic hand if she tried.
Best episode of Big Brother ever.
As funny as I find it as a viewer, I think Janelle and Howie are being a bit cruel and obnoxious. Still, The Friendship are just as culpable of chenanigans, and I love that their whole moral high ground that they always trumpeted about is now gone.
Heh. Bastards.
Can’t wait to see their reactions when they find out their popularity rankings are so low. They’ll probably blame it on CBS, saying they didn’t get a fair edit. Of course.
Who will be the 100th comment???
Disgusting (#67)
“(baby crying) waaaaah! they’re so mean!”
Maybe your not fully informed. Why don’t you listen/read what the stupid friendcult was saying so cowardly behind everyone’s backs (i.e racism, lying, name calling etc).
At least Howie and Janey had the balls to say it to peoples’ faces!
LONG. LIVE. QUEEN. JANEY!!
I swear, I prayed to the TV gods last night for Janelle to win HOH and when she did, I nearly cried tears of joy! She rocked and her acceptance of that key made my TV life 10x’s better.
“Bye Bye Bitches!!!”
My thoughts exactly
Okay B-Side, because I love you and you have stated you do not watch the live feeds, I will let it pass that you don’t agree w/ Howie & Janey’s tactics. Cappy’s cult are seriously the worst people I have ever seen. It’s as though they don’t realize those cameras on the wall are recording what they are saying. If you wouldn’t feel bad about people taunting Hitler, you shouldn’t feel bad for these bitches.
Let me preface this by saying that I like Janelle…
Okay, Janelle, the hair-flip routine has GOT TO GO. It’s getting as old and tired as, uh, April! We know that you think that it makes you more photogenic, honey, and we got it.
Please, for the love of God, make it stop or we’ll be forced to refer to every future hair-flip as “the Janey.”.
Scorpiella, you have to admit, they’re being obnoxious. Completely warranted though. See, we both agree!
It’s about 8:30pm Eastern and I’ve had fishtanks for about 5 hours. Either there’s a long veto competition going on or April finally snapped and took someone out…
BTW, if and when those fishtanks come down, feel free to discuss what happens in the forums.
But for now, no veto spoilers in these comments please…
FYI, the fish are going to be up until after Saturday night’s show. They don’t want anyone to know what the outcome of the veto comp. and ceremony will be until the show.
Rick D.
hey im sorry if this has been posted already (too many comments to read through… so i guess why would anyone be reading mine? ha), but – howie didnt say that april’s finger comment was a low-blow. janey was the one who said that. in fact, howie said that he didnt care about april’s comment at all.
also, did you catch james say ‘oh great’ after he heard that janey would get to nominate two more people that night? the way he said it was so funny, it was as if he thought that he was so screwed.
awesome recap!
Man just when I’m about to give up on this show knowing the scumbags were going to rule the roost, they do something like this and im back in. This was AWESOME. GOd I love Janelle. I truly love that polyester haired bitch. Shes smart funny, and got a nasty sarcastic mean streak. I was desperatly hoping for a nip slip in the live diary room scene.
And Aprils crying fit because someone called her husband fat and, gasp!, made fun of her dog!!! My favorite was when she said it was realy mean because “they” werent there to defend themselves. April, its a fucking dog. It really doesn’t give a shit.
And to defend howire, he didnt say it as a low bloew, Janelle did. He doesnt care. I think he said something like how that was an easy insult and hes used to it. FUckin Busto and her chinplants.
THis episode was so good I signed up for the live feeds, and found out the bastards have turned them off until saturday to keep the evicted houseguest a secret. Goddamit.
the power has been switching back and forth all season long.
but i was still really happy that janelle won even though it lacked surprise.
i loved howie telling off april.
and janelle being a bitch.
and i was appalled when jen threw the key, what’s her problem?
all in all it was a fun show with out ill carried out strategies for me to scream at the tv. it couldn’t have been better.
here’s to the best season yet.
I am a heterosexual female who, as a result of all her time reading TVGASM BB Updtes, is now completely glued to her screen each Thursday night hoping for glimpse of the infamous Chenbot Cameltoe. And this past Thursday when it seemed it would be there I was eager with anticipation. It seemed to me like she holds those little cards in place specificaly to hide the ‘toe’ and I have a feeling that’s a direct result of TVGASM.
You guys rock! Even if you DO make me obsess over weird things.
I was away for a week, so i got to watch tuesday’s, thursday’s and saturday’s episode last ngiht and I’m dying for the recap of late night’s episode… my tivo cut off during jenny’s chenterview, so i missed the hoh comp. I hate that i am so dependent on that stupid machine lol. Thanks for being her tvgasm…looking forward to the next recap!
