The hardest part of watching a reality show is that at some point, you are going to find your favorites. Big Brother is no exception, and considering you can invest yourselves into the contestants with the help of a 24-hour feed, watching a favorite of yours get nominated or compete in a competition gets nerve-wracking. It’s probably no secret that I love the schemers. One of the reasons I wanted to start TVgasm was the hope of being able to rally other people to get behind my folks, and if somebody I don’t like wins, shower them with plenty of petty insults. With that said, it has not been a good Big Brother week for me. Although Kaysar was the man with the plan, his plan was demolished by Maggie when she won HOH. It made for some great television, but my god did it piss me off.
Last week, I posted about James’ budding or perhaps failed model career. My post was filled with a lot of disdain because I really hated James at the time. To my surprise, he really turned things around and although he was in Kaysar’s alliance because Kaysar offered to save him, I thought he hitched himself to the team as any smart person would. Let’s be honest, he has that irresistible Woody from Toy Story-meets-Ben Affleck kind of charm. Still, James was going up against Kaysar, and of the two, Kaysar is clearly my favorite. He has done so well and he really turned the game around by orchestrating Eric’s eviction.
When Maggie won HOH, it really was bad news for Kaysar, and Maggie nominated him for eviction. I just have to take this time to point out that Kaysar and James, after being nominated, did not cry to Maggie and say how much they were hurt, like, well, Maggie did last week. No, they accepted their fate. Maggie meanwhile, tried to rationalize her decision by saying that they should take it as a sign of respect. This means, of course, that she will cry next week if somebody puts her up.
Like I said, Kaysar and James took their nominations well, but Sarah was a different story. She was an absolute mess. You see, she was the person who pulled the last key from the veto box. It would be a key that said “Janelle,” “James,” or “Kaysar.” It said “Janelle” of course, but since Janelle and James both start with “J-a-,” as she pulled the key out, she had one fleeting moment of hope that James would be saved. Now it is OK to be a little emotional, because she is about to lose her boyfriend, but Sarah was bawling like it was her fault James was nominated, like if she thought only positive thoughts, James would be safe. James wasn’t saved, so she had nobody to blame but herself. God, I feel sorry for this girl. I hope she didn’t have the type of parents who said things like “Mommy and Daddy don’t love each other anymore because you wet the bed!”
Whenever Sarah gets like this, James is usually saying things like “I would do better with her out of the game” and that she is a weak link and what not. But this time around, I think I saw a hint of feelings with James for his girlfriend. He said that when she is hurt, he hurts, and I think he might have even shed a tear. Granted, the way he is lying in this game, it could have all been fake, but it was the the first sign to me that he was actually into the relationship even half as much as she was. In fact, James was really upset later on. He knows that Maggie made her choices completely on vengeance and not strategy, and he thinks that Maggie put Janelle’s name last on purpose because she knew seeing the “Ja” would upset Sarah. James is right that Maggie is all about vengeance, but she was so very transparent in her nominations. She simply went from the person she liked the most, to the person she liked the least. Besides that, no thought whatsoever went into the order.
After all of this, we took a moment to discuss something really important. You see, James and Sarah have been seeing each other for months, and are in a committed relationship, but at least they are still in the house together. They have no idea how it’s been for Ivette to live in the house without her best friend, the person who she shares that special connection, the person who she couldn’t imagine life without. Are we talking about her girlfriend? Come on, you idiot! We are talking about Cappy! After spending almost a month together, Ivette is so emotionally worthless now that Eric is out of the house, she starts saying crazy shit like nobody deserved to win more than he did, even herself. She was just so upset that his chance at something very special was taken from him. I’m kind of disappointed that Eric didn’t have a chance to win any money as well, because how would he be able to afford all of those $12 Fire Department t-shirts without the Big Brother winnings?
Ivette went on for a long time, saying “I was robbed of somebody, and it hurts like no one can imagine.” Yeah, all those people at funerals can only pretend to know the anguish that Ivette feels. She did pull herself together to tell us why she was so upset. It wasn’t so much Cappy’s loss as it was the idea that she would have to see the bad guys win once again. God, I am going to love it when she finally gets out of the house and she finds out that she was seen as the biggest idiot, the biggest bitch, and the person the fewest number of people want to see win. How can these people be so oblivious to the way they are playing? I mean, sure they aren’t they haven’t all played dirty, but Eric did, and he was voted out. It does remind me of one of Eric’s sayings “Don’t count your chickens before they’re two in the bundle of time saves a cat has nine lives.”
If you were going to evict people by how dirty they played, or how much they double-crossed others, then James would be gone in minutes. He has been playing both sides from the get go, and has even been in discussions about campaigning against Sarah because he knows that when she is in the house, people know what his biggest weakness is, and he can’t afford that in this game. For James’ latest antics, he needs the Bible, which Beau at first denies him. Come on, Beau. The Bible? It’s not like he wants to borrow Bottoms Up 15 from you or something. Have a heart. After some pressure from April and the others, Beau decides he should let James have the Bible, and he apologizes for the way he acted and, you know, all of that butt sex.
Why did James need the Bible? Well, he was in the middle of making a deal with Ivette. He swore on the Bible that if he won HOH, he would put up Rachel and Howie, because they had been flying under the radar. Ivette buys it because she’s, you know, a moron, and trusts that this time, James really means what he says. Note to Eric if you are out there. What you saw James do was swear on the Bible. Notice how there is a book and a hand involved. When Kaysar swore on the Koran, there was a hand, but without the book, the hand means nothing. Got it?
With that, everybody got ready for the veto competition. There was a lot of anticipation, but people had pretty much decided that Kaysar and Janelle would win. Maggie and Ivette were no competition for anything other than widest ass in the house, and James was stuck with Sarah, who hasn’t exactly been dominant in any of the competitions.
Outside, the game was Couch Potato. There were two couches lined back-to-back on a spinning platform. Off to one side of the platform, there were six televisions with three buttons- On/Off, channel up, and channel down. The object of the game was to turn on the televisions, and then get the television to display Channel 5. The first person to get channel 5 would win the veto. You were allowed to hit any television, so theoretically you could sabotage somebody else if you wanted to turn their television off or hit a channel button to keep it off of five. Right away, James and Sarah and Janelle and Kaysar decided that they should each work on one television.
The competition was very exciting. James and Sarah were doing great on Sarah’s television, but Kaysar and Janelle really didn’t have any luck. Seeing as how Kaysar was one of the people who sucked so badly at the basketball game the first week, is it any surprise that his team struggled? Maggie and Beau were never really in it, and they just focused on stopping the others. Maggie even succeeded at turning Sarah’s TV off at one point, but it was not enough; Sarah won the veto, and barring something unforseen, James was coming off of the block.
Although James was happy Sarah won because it meant that he would get to stay, he said he couldn’t call it a victory because his win meant he had to go against Kaysar. James says he admires Kaysar the most out of anybody in the house because of his intellect and the way he carries himself, and I tend to believe it, because James really is a great liar.
With James surely to be saved from the block, Maggie and her crew decided that they needed to think about who to put up next. Marvin from last year must have loved watching this episode because he now never has to live with the distinction of having come up with the most retarded name of any Big Brother alliance in history. That now goes to Maggie, or whoever it was in their group that came up with the name “The Friendship.” Think about that for a minute. Could their be anything more stupid? I mean, I thought Toronto was a joke for having a team called The Raptors, but how stupid is that name? Eric Littman and The Friendship. It sounds like the name of a bad 70s rock band collaboration, as if the people who didn’t make it into Jefferson Starship decided to form their own band, but they sucked and weren’t creative, so they called themselves The Friendship. It’s amazing how they could become such great friends though, you know, because April and Jenny barely know each other, and Beau and Ivette are together just because they’re gay. And funnier than all of that was listening to Maggie say that she has to do what The Friendship wants or risk some sort of harsh punishment, like holding her down and making her brush her hair.
Before “The Friendship” Maggie and company were called “Two Huge Asses, an anorexic chick, and a gay guy”
There is nothing like a birthday on Big Brother (which reminds me, I have to call my sister on the 13th for her birthday, don’t let me forget), and April got to celebrate hers inside the house. You would think that after 75 years, she would be used to them, but every one is special. When asked what she is going to do for her birthday, April popped the top off of some strawberry Ensure and said “Read AARP Magazine.” The producers set up the house for a party, which is probably one of the reasons they faked the food competition a few days ago. Wouldn’t it have sucked if April had lost and then not have been able to eat her own cake? Big Brother did it before, I believe a couple of seasons ago. Only half of the team won the food reward, which meant half the people watched the others eat cake.
I was hoping to freeze the frame on April’s cake so I could count the candles, but the producers put only one big candle in the middle, so I can’t tell you if she is 45 or 50. I can tell you that she got a bitching set of gifts from K-mart including a hot-pink faux-leopard polyester top and a matching double-clasp white belt. Together, they two had all of the class of an Avon-sponsored hooker from Belleville. Oh, she did get a camera as well, and let’s not forget about the letter from home.
Is it me, or does April literally have a combover?
April learns they raised the minimum retirement age to 67, meaning she won’t be able to retire until TEN YEARS AGO
It was at this time that April provided us with a sequence of not-so-flattering faces. When she cries, it’s sort of more like a vomit-cry than a sob-cry. We also get a picture of her husband and their dog Pepperoni, which she says is like their child. You have to sympathize. They have made a lot of advances in fertility but women over 50 have trouble conceiving. I think they’ll adopt.
After all of that sappiness, we were given another chapter for SUMMER OF SECRETS. OK, not really, but I do love writing out those words. No, actually, the houseguests came inside to find a bunch of quarters around the house. The quarters were used for the gumball machine, and six people received tickets for their quarters. They split into two groups of three girls on each side. Sarah, Rachel, and Jenny were one team, and Ivette, Maggie, and Beau were the other team. Get it? Beau is gay so he counts as one of the girls! Ha! OK, that would have been funnier if Howie didn’t point it out on the show. But then again, Ivette’s a lesbian so, ummm, well let’s move on.
SOLD OUT: Like the Spears-Federline nuptials.
Sarah, Rachel, and Jenny won the game, which involved screwing a bunch of light bulbs into a marquee to reveal a secret message. For their hard work, they got to see a sneak peak of…”Four Brothers”? God, is that all that Viacom could come up with? Remember when they were pimping “Runaway Jury” a few years back? Now they’ve stooped to Four Brothers? Isn’t their some DVD that’s coming out that is more important, like perhaps a boxed set of Veroncia Mars?? The funniest part of the competition was right after they won, Jenny started doing cartwheels, to which April replied “I remember when I was in 5th grade, President Nixon tried to hula hoop”
And in one easy step, Viacom tripled the average attendance at a “Four Brothers” screening.
Now, the veto competition was so exciting because the prevailing thought was that Kaysar and Janelle had the upper hand, forcing James to do a bunch of deals to save his ass. With Sarah’s win, he quickly reneged on some of his plans, including that whole “I will put up Rachel and Howie” thing, saying that when Maggie went against him at the veto comp, the deal was void. Ivette got very upset. How dare James contradict what he said about an alliance, who does he think he is? Cappy?
No, it was Kaysar who had to make deals, and he honestly brought up a good point. If Maggie would nominate one of her own, Kaysar’s alliance would keep him safe. Since every competition in the game has been won by the people in his alliance (minus Eric and Maggie winning HOH), he said that she would be the target if any of them goes home. Bold plan, but he should have worked this angle before the nominations.
At the veto ceremony, Sarah let both people speak, but there was no suspense. Sarah took James off the block, and Maggie immediately put up Janelle. This sets up the absolute worst scenario for me, as I really like both players. Luckily, both vowed revenge if they won, but that did little to lighten the impact.
Happily, Maggie’s reign is almost over. Although she liked to play like she had tons of power, you could see in her eyes how frightened she was. Kaysar made light of her group because nobody can think for themselves, and even now people are talking by saying things like “That is what Cappy would have wanted.” Maggie also ensured that the teams will remain split down the middle. Yes, Rachel and Howie and James and Sarah have sometimes wavered in their commitment, but it is going to be a battle each and every week.
What did you think of this episode? Who’s going home?

What is wrong with these women? Cappy is gone, get over it. Yvette is absolutely insane, still whining about Crappy. Sarah is an emotional basket case. James should dump her crazy ass…and do it in the big brother house.
Sad to say, I think sexy Kaysar is gone. Janelle is going to have to play really hard to stay in this game. Sad. I’m very disappointed, I’m not sure I can watch these crazy foolish women the rest of the summer!
I hate Beau too. He’s so uninteresting, such a sheep! And that whole bible thing….geez..I’m speechless!
Asswipe of the week: still Beau. Close second: Ivette. Jay-sus, you’d have thought she and Cappy had known each other for years! She speaks of him as if he’s a f***ing idol and then phrase “that’s what Cappy would have wanted” grates on me.
No surprises last night, I just KNEW Janelle would be nominated, so one of my favorites is leaving.
Can’t tell you how “The Friendship” annoys me. Ah, well, it’ll be fun to see them pick each other off when they’ve culled the herd to just them. There’ll be some whining then!
Kinda disappointed that uberfraulein Janelle has been so meek. I expected her to be kicking some Maggie and Ivette ass, but I think she’s a bit afraid of turning “The Friendship” against herself.
So, Thursday sees Kaysar out the door and I’m really, really praying Janelle gets HOH.
And, oh, yeah, James is an A-hole on a par with Beau.
Nice to see a differential in birthday parties for the houseguests. Wasn’t Sarah’s birthday a couple weeks ago? She got a pizza and cake, but there wasn’t the kind of fanfare that was put on for April. Where were the K-mart gifts for Sarah?
This is the third season I’ve been bothered by this and I’m finally going to say something about it.
It’s pronounced VE-TOE, you sub-literate morons, not VE-DOE.
Why do they all have trouble saying that word? WHY?
Que Sera, Sera, Kaysar. The Dictator’s got his back against the wall and it’ll be sad to see him go. The Swing-Out-Sisters or the Friendship or the Fucking Idiots, whatever they want to call themselves have no strategy whatsoever and it’s pathetic to see them nominate people based on gossip and whether or not lips are superglued to their asses.
Keneau Reeves and Sandra Bullock…sorry, James and Sara are pulling at my heartstrings. I love Sara but it’s unfortunate she wears her emotions on her sleeve. But I loved the way James backhandedly told Ivette to go fuck herself when he said he’d nominate Maggie after swearing on the bible he’d put up Howie & Ratchel. That man’s got balls!
The Fucking Idiots Friendship of Swing Out Sisters had better enjoy their win this week because I’m hoping…no praying that Janelle’s team win HOH next week. Hell I’m hoping against hope that Kaysar finds a way to stay in this game. Sorry Janelle.
I think the house will evict Kaysar because he nominated “cappy”. Ivette freaking out because “cappy” was gone made me realize that she’s such a tool. You’ve known the man for weeks and you’re crying! Give me a break. I think Kaysar and Janelle are a joy to watch and if they both leave I know I will not be as interested in the show. Well maybe to see the dorks left in the house sell each other out because in the end there is only one winner and these people are playing like they’re in girl scout camp.
It’s not just that Ivette was crying, it’s that she said, “I’ve been robbed of someone. You can’t understand how much it hurts.” WTF?????????? You can say something like that when your spouse, child, parent, sibling, good friend, etc. dies, not when a random guy you’ve known for less than a month is going to be away from you for only a short period of time. Even if you take into account that a friendship could grow quickly in the house because they are together 24-7, it’s still temporary. You have no idea how much it hurts? Ivette clearly has no idea what a total idiot she is!
Don’t you remember what last year’s BB Movie Plug was? I’d take “Four Brothers” over “Without a Paddle” anyday.
I can’t wait for Ivette to get out of the house and realize that SHE is the bad guy! I agree with J-Unit . . . how can these people be so blind????
Come on J-Unit! Maggie gave you an easy set-up. Where is the “The Friendship of BB6″ and “The Fellowship of the Ring” side-by-side pics and character comparisons?
Yvette,,,, what a skank ! Cubano Lesbo whining and threatening and reminding everyone of the ghetto…. Is there a psychiatrist in the back of the house???
Even Howie wont go near her, and gawd knows he gets “near” everyone that moves.
Jeex J-Unit, I was going to go see that movie… looked ok to me !!
Hey, who was the other fireman who was on BB a couple of years ago–does anyone remember?
Crystal ball:
Ivette doesn’t know who she wants to get rid of more, Janelle or Kaysar. In her confusion she votes to evict Maggie.
She defends her decision in the diary room: “Last week I voted for Maggie and she ended up HoH, so I thought there was a good chance it could happen again.”
Beau is nominated but nobody notices so he gets to stay another week.
Beau gets HoH, celebrates by wearing checks and stripes. Now even the producers notice him. He’s immediately kicked out of the house.
Ivette wins HoH. In her confusion she nominates herself for eviction.
BB6 coup:
With Kaysar out, Janelle runs off to be by herself. But wait, she’s not crying she’s . . . laughing? A deep, maniacal laugh. And doesn’t she seem a bit taller? And her forehead’s kind of rubbery….It’s Kaysar in a latex Janelle mask! Summer of Secrets!
Maggie is such a mindless moron…does she not realize that by dumping either Kaysar or Janelle she is left in the house with FOUR couples that will stab her in the throat for a chance at a million dollar win.
I think Erick should become a cult leader — he obviously can take simple minded idiots like Ivette and make them worship him through posturing and cliched sermonizing. Drink the Kool-Aid Ivette and end the misery of your lost little god
Is it possible that the BB producers are going to let an evicted houseguest come back into the game? I don’t want to see Kaysar go this week.
OMG ((cries))- I’ve bben robbed of the chance to see his sexy ass 3 times a week! I can’t go on! He deserved to stay in longer. Damn those “good” guys!
James’ comment about Beau’s poor performance at the veto competition about Beau bragging he played baseball for 8 years and James said he must of been a catcher. Bwaaah. James deserves to stay for that one.
Howie won the ticket but gave it to Jenn so he could make points. A quarter goes a long way with an Arena football dancer so Howie’s golden.
Starlight,
I was going to do something like that, but I would have made all of them Boromir, since he’s the only one who dies.
I just looked at the popularity ratings on CBS.com. Ivette and her beloved cappy have dropped to the lowest, while Kaysar and Janelle have risen since the first week to be the highest rated players. I’m sure when Ivette gets out and sees that (and if Eric has managed to learn how to turn on a computer to see that) she will take it as a sign that the entire American viewing public is part of the bad guys and that she and cappy are being unfairly persecuted again. In her world, that’s how it works.
As Ivette’s Cuban ass get closer to eviction (and wider), I think TvGasm needs to organize a grassroots movement to make sure she knows exactly how many people hate her.
Ya know what I like about Ivette though? Since she’s a lesbian at least we don’t have to worry about her procreating future generations of morons. With her out of Miami I bet the average IQ for the city doubled. She’s just that stupid.
What about when Sarah was giving her Veto speech and she was basically saying who it was before Maggie had announced it? Even Maggie was lookinh around like WTF. Sarah is a sweet girl, but she is a complete idiot.
Please!!!!! Please!!!!!! Take that picture of Ivette off the front page. Every time I see her I want to poke my eyes out. All that sobbing about “crappy” being gone, IT’S A GAME PEOPLE!!!!!! It’s not like he died. She’s acting like someone murdered him.
Maggie is the worst HOH I’ve ever seen. How fast did she let the power get to her head? The look on her face and her little head swivle when Sarah was giving the veto speach just showed how much she thinks she’s the most powerful person in the game, with or without HOH.
Rick D.
Next week, the members of “The Friendship” will braid each other’s hair and practice french-kissing each other.
Why hasn’t anyone tried to fly a banner in recent years? I remember it was a big thing back for BB2… maybe something to do with 9/11 I guess? But yeah, someone should fly a banner that says something nasty to “The Friendship”
what a creep james is turning out to be. i never really liked him, but i admired his scheming instincts until last night. rule 1 of reality TV scheming: never make a promise until you have to, especially if you don’t intend to honor it, and especially if said promise involves swearing on the bible or one’s children, mother, or other dearly beloveds. rule 2: if you are dumb enough to break rule 1, never TELL the person TO THEIR FACE that you have no intention of honoring the promise you just made on the bible/lives of children, etc., and that you intend to go after one of their strongest allies.
james gained absolutely nothing from the sad, desperate tactic of kissing ivette’s ass. furthermore, why on earth would he tell her, once he knew he was safe, that he would target maggie if he won HOH? you’re supposed to burn bridges AFTER you’ve crossed them. unless he or sarah wins HOH, james is now guaranteed to go back up on the block–probably next to sarah–since even ivette is smart enough to know that he’s totally untrustworthy and will fuck over whomever he has to–including his GIRLFRIEND–at his earliest convenience, and maggie & co. will almost certainly tell howie, rachel, janelle, and kaysar that their boy james offered to sell them out.
if there is a god, janelle will win HOH. i can’t take another week of watching the idiots gloat.
Ivette should have stayed on the treadmill after watching James swear on the bible. Bitch needs to work off that ass!
I can’t STAND the way she shouts EVERYTHING SHE SAYS! In fact, when she was crying on the bed and James was rubbing her back, I barely recognized her, because for once, she wasn’t shouting!
That picture of Ivette is BEGGING for a side-by-side with the braying donkey from the opening credits of Hee-Haw.
Knowing that there are many people in the world like Maggie and Ivette scares the hell out of me. I’m surprised that Maggie even likes Ivette because it’s clear that Maggie’s a raging “moral” republican and Ivette’s gay, so…
I’ll be really surprised if Beau’s been playing everyone the whole time and making it look like he’s some sort of wishy washy follower, but really he’s been getting close to “The Friendship” just to get them to trust him before he whips out some gay vengence.
I’m seriously just glad that Eric’s gone. He was the one I couldn’t stand the most. Man, I hated him. I can deal with Ivette’s annoying lard ass, but Eric and his self-righteous, fire-fighting ways were too much.
Kaysar’s going to be evited and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. I’m sad. Janelle better keep her word and become the hugest bitch in the house.
God, I love this show.
have faith in Kaysar people. i’m confident he’ll be able to think his way into staying!
PS. J-Unit – c’mon dude, calling a sports team the Mighty Ducks is much worse than the Raptors!
Oh where to begin … all of the comments above mine made me laugh, smile, nod in agreement and confirmed that my opinions aren’t all that outrageous!!!
Ivette is fucking moron. Actually she’s a more-off .. b/c she is more off then she is on. For her to sob over the ‘loss’ of Cappy is a slap in the face to those who have had a family member, like DIE. Not just move out the house. She WILL see him again. And as for Beau, the most boring gay EVER … he must feel oh so special knowing that his ‘friend’ is more upset about the fact that someone she knew for like 10 minutes is no longer living in the house than acknowledging she even knows someone else in the house, and wasn’t just paired with him b/c they are ‘the same’ … ya know, code for GAY. BFD.
Maggie, do everyone a favor … find a dictionary and look up the word STRATEGY. Then figure out how to use some. Her ever widdening ass is almost as dense as her head. She is playing purely on emotion, and it even though she kept whining about ‘not knowing who would replace James on the block’ after Sarah won the Power of Veto, it was so obvious that Janelle was going to be that person. Maggie hates Janelle. Actually, I think it’s a SUMMER OF SECRETS crush … but then again, Chenbot did say there would be more revealed in upcoming eps, so …
And oh yeah, Beau played baseball?! Where? Sitting out in left field working on a tan?! His sorry ass couldn’t hit Ivettes’ ever widdening one. But whatever. I think he just liked hanging around the hot athletes in tight tight pants … but that’s another story.
And as for James swearing on a bible .. that shit was funny as hell. I am truly surprised that he didnt’ spontaneously combust!
Waiting for Thursday to see which one is really liked less … the Dictator or the Ditz.
PRICELESS RECAP J-UNIT!!
Coffee spitting worthy! Love your captions under the pics!
Now if there is a GOD James will be struck with lightning sometime in the next week
However if there was a GOD Ivette would have been born MUTE
Hey, did anyone catch the live feed when they were debating whether or not ABE LINCOLN was the 1st PRESIDENT or not?! Oh for fuck sake these people are dumb!
On a James sidenote…I read on another website that James is constantly talking about fat/carbs/calories, etc. in food. Apparently, he’s really obsessed with his weight. When he was on the PB & J that week, he was complaining about how fat he was getting. And everyone can tell he’s super-super-skinny. That is such an annoying trait in women, it;s even more annoying in men.
Aunt Sassy,
Do you think that James was dropping passive aggressive hints to the fat asses in the house?
I thought it was interesting that Maggie put up Janelle, considering that Ivette declared that she ‘had to get rid of Janelle’ if she could. So Maggie putting up Janelle could help Kaysar! If indeed, Ivette sticks to her word and votes off Janelle. If Maggie so wanted to get rid of Kaysar you would think STRATEGY (oh, wait, she never learned that word) would insist that she put up someone NO ONE wants gone…a PAWN…now she’s going to have a split vote!
To Greg/Post 22:
The first year we got banners flying b/c the house was in a public access area. Since then, they have made the house secluded on part of the CBS lot so NO ONE can get to these people. It is just a large, elaborate set that they have built, not a real house somewhere in CA….
Don’t hate me for this, but I think James is turning out to be an awesome game player. The simple fact that he went to Ivette and swore on the Bible AND SHE BELIEVED HIM just proves that he knows how to work her. Don’t you think he’d know she’d fall for that crap?
As for Sarah, poor girl. At least she hasn’t been swayed by The Friendship (shudder).
I’m very sad to see either Kaysar or Janelle go, I have no idea how that will swing. I can only hope that the Ivette and Maggie turn on each other over which one loves Cappy more. That would be some good TV.
Did anyone catch Sarah’s camel toe during the movie competition? It was no chenbot, but those pants are a little distirbing.
Pooch # 12 –
Eric from BB3 was a real fireman in Connecticut, but I assume you’re asking because you read that Crappy didn’t like a prior fireman on big brother, so he wanted to avenge their stupid actions. Well, he was talking about Jase, who claimed to be a volunteer fireman last year.
The live feeds tell all.
James telling Ivette that he’d put up Maggie does seem stupid, and James isn’t stupid, so was there something else going on? Maybe the show edited the events out of sequence? All I can come up with is that it was a setup for Kaysar’s plan to scare Maggie. Because James must have known that Ivette would run straight to Maggie with the news, and then Kaysar’s offer would have some context to it. Just a guess, not having seen live feeds.
secretary (post # 35):
no hatin’, but i really thought that was a dumb move on james’ part. of course ivette believed him: he literally swore on the bible, and she’s the house idiot. the move was brash, and i kind of like that james has no scruples, but the trouble is that a) as it turned out, he didn’t need to make ivette any promises to save himself, since sarah won the veto and b) he exposed his own lie by telling ivette that he would put up maggie instead of rachel/howie if he won HOH, which was doubly stupid because he might not even win HOH, which would make the whole promise a moot point. so he outed himself as a boldfaced liar when he could have let the lie stand at least until after the HOH competition, at which point either he’d be HOH and be safe (at least for a week) from retaliation, or he’d not be HOH, in which case he wouldn’t have to break his promise to ivette because someone else would be making the nominations.
as it stands, all the ‘bible swear’ promise did was expose james as a dirty player who would lie to his mother to get ahead in the game.
The whole thing about someone on a reality show being representative of whatever group is just silly. Beau is not representative of all gay men. Eric is certainly not representative of all firemen, and if he had a brain he would have understood that Jase wasn’t either. Kaysar is not representative of all Iraqi-Americans, Ivette is not representative of anything but stupidity, and so on. Some of these people (Eric) are so full of themselves that they dare to claim to represent all of a certain large group of people, and that’s just ridiculous and arrogant.
I heard they are bringing someone back for sure…maybe a competition between all of the evicted people? I would pay money to see Maggie and Ivette’s face if Kaysar walked back in a couple of days from now!
im suprised no one else has said this but doesnt the friendship sound like a name of a cult? i wonder if cappy thought of that name
Duly noted, Co-Pilot. Duly noted.
I find it really interesting that at the start of the season, Eric was dead set on putting together a male alliance to combat the higher number of girls in the house. Maybe Eric’s plan all along was to use the male alliance as a cover in order to hide his true strategy — to become the cult leader of a group of women? Hey, everyone knows he couldn’t do that in the real world. Maybe he thought he’d use BB6 to try and live out his fantasies.
Ivette may be the most mean-spirited person that I have ever seen on tv (including that awful Will from TAR). It’s to the point that I get angry whenever she comes on screen, let alone open that f*cking trap of hers. She is so hateful and self-righteous it makes me sick. All of her pathetic whining about Crappy being gone made me laugh with evil glee.
I too think Kaysar is leaving and that makes me sad. I really, really hope Janelle wins HOH and puts Maggot and Bitchy McBitchalot up.
well, no matter what, James’s days of swearing on the Bible and being believed are over. You pull that trick once and then it’s all used up. And we’ve still got weeks to go!
Unless it was just some elaborate way to poke fun at Crappy and Ivette for their shock and horror at Kaysar’s strategies.
Agree with Jack…James is NOT that smart to open his mouth to Ivette about Maggie with some brilliant strategic move in mind (there is NONE, by the way, even if he really was truthful in saying he’d prefer Kaysar to stay). And what is Janelle’s strategy? I’m disappointed in her because I like her and thought she was smarter: she has done nothing to try to keep her only allies, Michael and now Kaysar, in the house. She could have at least tried to work on Jennifer or April to try to turn the “Friendship” on each other, which is her only chance of staying much longer.
The only good news is a Chenbot alert: She will be on “Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” tonight!
Not to be a bitch or anything but…where the hell is the Six Feet Under post? Best ep of the season and no one reviews it? For shame.
Crappy should of left Maggot and that vile pig Yvette some of his dirty underwear, so they can cuddle with it when they feel lonely and are missing him….awwww….
Maybe they could take turns wearing it?
Perhaps CBS could break out the tape from the old “I Love Lucy” show and we can watch Lucy and Ethel sing “Friendship”?
The thing about this ep that stood out to me was the very real anger and shock from the Kaysar team as Maggot was trying to hit Sarah’s off switch. WTF did they expect? Then when she did it, they lost their minds. Pitiful.
Except for the very real satisfaction I get watching moronic fools (and the Chenbot!), I really don’t care about the show and the results.
I think CBS should whip out the Muslim Brotherhood Exemption just before Chenbot attempts to read the contents of the envelope. Don’t we all need to exhibit special understanding of the needs of our Muslim brothers and sisters these days?
Poor Ivette has no myspace friends! Check out her profile:
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=2758092&Mytoken=20050803154658
Yes yes yes clarke14… That is exactly what I thought- Friendship = cult!!!! It even sounds like the name of a cult. And Eric is like their Jim Jones- seriously, why are these people so entranced by him… He is a manipulative, controlling, self-serving, ego-maniac! Hopefully they will drink some laced Kool-aide and it will all be over. I HATE this team.
Meanwhile, James’s myspace profile is truly horrifying. As is the fact that he actually does have friends.
I couldn’t believe the look on Maggie’s face when Sara was saying how she felt bad because now a good person was going to get out up. She looked around as if to say ” who are you talking about? i have not decided who will go up, I didn’t even know you were going to use the veto” She’s such a bitch.
If somebody good doesn’t win this week I might call it quits. I can’t stand to watch another week of “the friendship” dominate the game. Pairs of people was the dumbest idea ever.
Great recap! Thanks J-Unit for keeping me up to date when I have to miss a show. I haven’t been watching BB since the boring first season, so here’s my question: How is the winner selected? In the first season the viewers voted on who was evicted and who ultimately wan, but now that the HGs vote, what happens when it gets down to 2 people? Do the evicted HGs decide, like on Survivor?
oh my god. is no one else astonished by beau and his overly-protective nature about his bible? and how the Friendship chastised him for not sharing the bible with the heathens in the house?
it’s an amazing season. and i sure hope they don’t try to force janelle out…although i don’t know who she could align herself with once kayser goes…
Unless there’s another summer secret, starting with 9 people left, the persons to be evicted will be sequestered (it looks like Puerto Vallarta, but I’m not sure) until the end of the competition, when they will be brought back to the house and be the deciding 7 votes on the winner between the last two remaining houseguests. It’s like Survivor.
I just saw a preview saying that there was another big twist coming up on tomorrow’s show. We’ll see if it involves bringing one of the houseguests back.
love love love all the april jokes. pricelss. she is gorgeous though….
They are also bringing back the America’s Choice this summer. Wouldnt it be awesome if AC was who gets back IN the house? I would pay $$ to see the look on Yvette and Maggie’s face if Kaysar was voted back in the house by the American public over Eric. Ooh, that gives me goosebumps!
Well, we all know how losing Cappy must have hurt Ivette most of all — you know, more than Maggie.
Kaysar, the lovely man, is gone.
And I think Ivette, judging by the live feeds, is a bigot.
Argh.
Walter Cronkite watch out!!
“2003 WINNER OF THE SUSAN E. SACHS SCHOLARSHIP
Ivette Corredero is the first student to receive the Association of Women in Communications (AWC) Susan E. Sachs Scholarship. Ivette, 22, is a communications arts major at St. Thomas University. A graduate of South Miami Senior High School, where she was included in the prestigious “Who’s Who Among American High School Students,” Ivette’s goal after graduation is to work her way up in the world of broadcasting to become a TV news anchor.”
What the hell is the criteria for winning this? Who can best imitate Ron Burgundy!?!
Copilot, let us say good luck to Ivette ever being taken seriously as a journalist after going on a reality show and revealing herself to be, well, herself!
ANTF (#63),
I’m with you. I *LOVE* Six Feet Under too (one of the best written shows EVER!) but isn’t TVGasm just for reality shows?
Shelley, I just thought that after last weeks great recap that the B-Side Boys would finish out the last 3 eps. Boo Hoo & so long Nate, you azz.
Also Every season they review dramas like 24, Lost & Deperate Housewives.
odds that Sarah will dump James after hearing that James said on tv that he would be better without her in the game: 2:1. James is almost as bad as Cappy.
Janelle is gone. James, Sarah, Howie, and Rachel will save KAYSAR. FRIENDSHIP will save j. maggie, the tiebraker, evicts k
Did anyone see the Chenbot on the Late Late show w/ Craig Ferguson last night? She was flashing her rings around. And wearing that same god awful yellow shiny halter neck dress also featured in your camel toe recap! Was busy working so didn’t catch all the conversation, just her laughing about her big rings.
umm, am i the only one who felt it was NO SURPRISE AT ALL when they nominated janelle to go up against kaysar.
seriously these people are playing the game like fucking retards. they just found out how much bank teams make if they get to the end so they put up…….the only two people in the house who were not a secret pair….
ooooookay.
seriously sarah is so fucking annoying i wish they had put here up against kaysar.
and get the fuck over cappy. when i first started watching the show i thought ivette was cool. take ur tounge and lips the fuck off cappy’s ass. ur ‘friend for life’ is gone. he just wanted to win.
god people fucking eat some peanut butter and jelly you all look like ur wasting away….
Hey! I’m jess with a lowercase “j”! And I rarely use the word “retards” and curse only half as much!
Just interested in making that distinction.
Ah, but there already is a cult. The Cult of Cappy. The Friendship is the perfect name for a cult.
Morons.
***JESUS CHRIST NO SPOILERS MORON***
EVERYONE VOTE KAYSAR…
Keep Eric Out!!!!
This Tuesday nomination were redicilous, the group that’s with Maggie has no strategy skills. How are you going to put up Kay and Janelle when all last week they were trying to get James out. Kay maybe the brains, but he is weak when it comes to competiting. James has taken himself off the block 4 times and then he pass this Tuesday. If James has a chance to win HOH its a possiblity that he will gang up with the group that needs him the most (his original group) and vote out Maggie and one of her member. James is a stronger player than all the players. After watching Tuesday episode made me realize that the group will literaly give James the million dollars because they don’t think logically. James should be the winner because he will never leave the house.
