Tonight on Big Brother: What came first, the chicken or the really lame egg competition?After the nomination ceremony, Russell is a bit unhappy. “Way to nominate someone on your own team, Chima! Now let’s all go have a pool party!” If that ends up being this season’s “WHO WANTS CAKE?” moment, I will be sorely disappointed. Well, more than I already am with this season.
While Jessie, Chima and Natalie congratulate each other for a nomination speech that Natalie calls “classy”, because as we all know, Natalie is the house’s authority on class, which is why I every time I turn on Big Brother After Dark, she’s chewing with her mouth open. Seriously, it’s disgusting. It’s like watching Animal Planet.
Jeff gets called to Diary Room, which makes Jessie think he is the wizard? I guess? There’s not a lot of explanation. Natalie tells Jessie that Jeff doesn’t have the power, and she’s also pretty sure that he wouldn’t use it anyway because then he would make enemies. With who, you and Jessie? I bet he’s real scared of turning you into new enemies, because you certainly weren’t going after him before! It is also worth noting that Jessie is consulting someone who is wearing a tie on her head.
Russell whispers to Jeff in the Have Not that he feels betrayed by his former allies. He offers to switch sides to their team, and Jeff says that if that happens, they have to gun for Jessie and Natalie next week. Jeff promises to allow Russell into the fold, but he has to remain loyal to them. Also he has to teach Jordan to tell time, and explain to her how spiders have intercourse.
Russell DRs that he is going to need to mend some fences if he hopes to stay in the house. He tries to cozy up to Michele first, apologizing for their fight last week. She remains firm with him, explaining that she didn’t lie about whatever idiotic thing they fought about, I guess that Chima was going to put him up or whatever, I still have no idea, because my brain is full of Survivor trivia. We get a nice flashback to show that Michele is completely wrong, which is the first time in the history of this show that they’ve used a flashback appropriately. Usually it’s just to remind us of something that happened mere seconds before, because Alison Grodner thinks that the Big Brother audience is entirely composed of fruit flies.
So anyway, Russell does such an awesome job apologizing that Michele gets mad at him again, storming off and waving her middle finger at him. There is a point at which Russell counts the number of words in a sentence incorrectly, but: this is Big Brother. I think they make you count to twenty during the audition process, and if you can get all the way there, they boot you out the front door of Endemol before you can ask for a commemorative mug.
The best part is when Russell calls after her all She heads directly upstairs to tell Chima and Natalie what happened, and then she starts crying. Chima suggests that they get rid of all of the guys, which is probably not the best thing to say with Natalie sitting right there, because I’m fairly sure that Jessie gave her a lobotomy in the storage room in Week 2.
Also, this fight is dumb. She said Chima was going to nominate Russell, and then Chima nominated Russell. What’s there to fight about? She was right. Michele tells Russell that he needs to start respecting women, which seems an odd thing to say, because Russell does not discriminate when it comes to yelling at people. He is clearly an equal opportunity crazypants.
Time to pick players for the veto competition! Chima draws Natalie. Russell gets to choose his own player, and he chooses Jeff, much to Jessie’s surprise. Lydia gets to pick who plays too, and she chooses Kevin, of course. Jessie bitches in the Diary Room about how he doesn’t even get a chance to protect himself against the wizard power. Last year, Jessie got kicked out of the house because Dan was America’s Player for the week and that ended up being the deciding vote. How tasty would it be to watch Jessie get kicked out by America again when Jeff uses the wizard power against him?
Veto Competition! The backyard is decorated like a farm, and of course everyone is wearing chicken suits. I fear, for a moment, that they will bring Chicken George back to host a competition, but then I remember that he can’t read and breathe a sigh of relief. The players in this competition will use their fingers to lift eggs up through a fence and through a hole. The first player to get 12 eggs from the chicken coop into the stand wins the veto.
When I say that this is the least interesting Veto Competition ever, I do not exaggerate. They just work these eggs up the fence through the tiny holes and it goes on forever and ever. It is the worst use of chicken suits ever. The most satisfying part of the competition is that Natalie is terrible at it, and it is always enjoyable to watch her get frustrated.
Jeff isn’t too good at it either; every time he drops an egg, he punches the chicken coop and rattles the whole structure. Don’t hit it too hard, Jeff! This show is not known for its big budget, and the whole structure could collapse like a Jenga Tower. If Natalie were crushed in the rubble, however, it would not be a total loss. Death By Jenga is certainly not the worst way to go. That would be Death By Ants In The Pants, if you’re curious.
Kevin and Russell are neck in neck with one egg left apiece. Russell spends so much time trying to psych out Kevin that it backfires and he slows himself down instead, and Kevin gets his final egg out first and wins the Veto.
Afterwards, Kevin and Lydia dance silently in bathroom. Man, they’re going to be really sad when they find out that John Hughes died last week. Whose movies will they base their entire personalities on now? I’m hoping its Peter Jackson; Lydia would make a really awesome Gollum.
Kevin drops the bomb immediately, telling Lydia that she’s staying and it’s not even a question, so he wants to do what’s best for them strategically. This means not using the Veto, which will allow them to cement themselves further with Chima’s alliance. That’s actually not a terrible idea, not that Lydia has figured that out, because Lydia only thinks about what Lydia wants. She whines and complains about how she would save Kevin if Kevin were up, which who gives a shit. She’s also has a new costume on that involves a burka. Isn’t she original and stylish? Is she not separated from the pack with her originality and personality? Aren’t you amazed by how different and cool she is? TELL HER SHE’S PRETTY!
Russell drags Jessie into the storage room to make a last ditch effort at staying in the house. He tells Jessie that his shot at winning the money leaves with Russell, because Chima will turn all the women against him and he’ll be completely screwed. I’m not sure Jessie’s too worried about that, since Natalie is currently crawling around in the kitchen looking for the contact lens that Jessie lost. Jessie tells Russell that his only option is to convince Chima to put Jeff up in his place, which I’m not sure I entirely understand. It’s like these people are speaking a different language this season. One without complete sentences. Really, just a series of grunts.
Jessie wants to know why Russell picked Jeff for the veto; Russell’s excuse is that he had picked Jessie, than they would know they’re together. Um, Russell? It is week five. I really don’t think there is too much confusion anymore about who is aligned with whom. There is no need for subterfuge on that front. Of course, Jessie the whole discussion about Jessie, because why talk about anything else, so he’s all “this was my only chance to win!” and save himself from the special wizard power. If Jessie gets kicked out, he’s not been screwed by the system, he will have screwed himself by making Russell doubt his allegiance, thus making him choose Jeff earlier. But whatever, nothing is ever Jessie’s fault. America is a meanie!
Jessie goes right upstairs to Jeff and tells him everything that Russell just told him. Jessie says it’s to make sure that Jeff knows that Russell can’t be trusted, but Jeff is supposed to trust Jessie? Even Jordan is like “Yeah, I have no idea why Jessie is trying so hard,” when he does the same thing to her, and when Jordan figures out that you have ulterior motives? You’re in trouble, because Jordan can’t even figure out the ending to an M. Night Shamalyan movie.
In the backyard, Jeff listens to Jordan tell him how Jessie is trying so, so hard to be nice and share information because he thinks one of them has the wizard power. “I would LOVE to see Jessie and Natalie up on the block up against each other,” he tells her. We would too, idiot! That’s why we gave you the power! DO IT.
Later, Chima tries to get Jessie to hurry up and get out of the shower, because I’m sure it takes him forever to Nair his whole body every day. God, what a douche. I bet he uses all the hot water, too. Russell sees this as an opportunity to needle Chima a little bit, and I guess this is the boiling point for them because all of a sudden Chima is calling him a terrorist, which is more than a little racist, frankly. She tries to backpedal and argue that she was using the term literally because he “terrorizes everyone in the house”, but: come on. We all know what she was going for there, right?
The editors try to be fair by showing a montage of Russell “terrorizing” houseguests throughout his stay in the house, but it’s mostly there so that CBS can say that they stayed in the middle during this argument.
Russell certainly knows what she was going for, because he picks up on her Oh Shit, I Can’t Believe I Just Said That On National Television face and runs with it, shouting to America that she’s a racist and exposing her for a hypocrite. You can tell the whole thing really doesn’t bother him that much because he’s smirking the entire time, so this really isn’t that big of a deal, but Russell is definitely not dumb, and he sees this as an opportunity to weaken Chima. Also, why show this racial outburst and not the one from Week One? I guess CBS learned its lesson on that front the first time. You know, when someone got called a wigger on Barnaby Jones.
So then Chima and Russell start getting all “I know you are, but what am I?” with each other, shouting the same thing over and over again, each trying to be louder than the other. There’s not much else to do but shout and hope to yell your way out of it once you’ve called someone of Arab descent a terrorist, so Chima tries to turn it around on him by calling him a sexist and flaunting the fact that he’s going to be evicted by a woman in his face. Is there some sort of evidence that Russell is a misogynist that I am missing? I’m guessing Chima’s just using it as an excuse to band the women together, but I may have missed something when I was spending most of this episode not giving a shit.
Hey, do you know what heals the wounds quickly after a fight involving racial epithets? Why, a movie starring Jeremy Piven, of course! Hey, haven’t you wondered what it would be like if Ari Gold were a car salesman? Because I know I sure have! This movie is just the first of many “Hey, what if Ari Gold were a (fill in the blank)?” films, so do prepare yourself for that, everyone. And don’t think that you can fool me by putting Ken Jeong and Ed Helms in the preview, either, faceless movie studio executives. I am onto you and your games.
Before the veto meeting, Lydia and her stupid teal burka (because when you’re wearing the religious attire of a culture with which you are unfamiliar, make sure it matches your makeup!) whine to Russell that Kevin isn’t going to use the veto on her. The thing that bugs me the most about Lydia is that she’s always the victim, and other people are always wronging her and she’s never at fault. Essentially, she is Jessie with tattoos. This all could have been avoided if she had, you know, won the veto herself, but whatever, right? Kevin’s a meanie!
So of course Russell tells Kevin and Kevin goes to Lydia, asking her not to tell everyone what he’s planning on doing and taking her into the Green Room to talk about it a bit more. Kevin tries to get Lydia to think long term about her safety in the house instead of this week. Kevin is making sense, so Lydia gets passive aggressive with him, all “I’m sorry that you’ve never been nominated, and I’m sorry that I would use the veto on you,” to make him feel guilty. Kevin caves and tells her that fine, he will use the veto, and she of course then doesn’t want him to. Kevin, fed up with Lydia (welcome to the party, yo) is like “Whatever, you’re fucked in two weeks if I do this,” which is both hilarious and true, not that Lydia cares at all about throwing salt on Kevin’s game. Doesn’t he know that he’s supposed to be there to help Lydia win? How dare he try to do something that benefits the both of them! What a dick!
Time for the veto ceremony. Lydia sits there with her stupid pouty face and terrible church hair while Kevin gives them both a chance to speak.
Russell tells Kevin he doesn’t expect him to use the veto and sits back down. Lydia tries to lay it on thick, all “you know I loooove you” when she talks. In the end, Kevin declines to use the veto, telling Lydia that he she understands and that they can talk about it later. Jessie is indignant, trying to be sarcastic like “Thanks a lot, America,” because it is our fault he is a giant turd with muscles that no one likes and thus will not vote to help. God, we’re mean! If you’ll excuse me, I’m off to kill some innocent bunnies.

Oh you.
I giggled so hard milk snorted out of my nose and into the cookie batter I was mixing.
(gotta love muti tasking!)
Btw, I think you meant Hijab and not Burka.
(Also, covering or “ducking” one’s head in such a manner is pretty common all over the world.)
Chima is just bad, her ego is MASSIVE. Honestly, she really thinks that everyone in the house should not use the POV because it goes against the HOH’s wishes. Um, honey, that is why they came up with the POV, to cause drama and to be able to save someones ass.
The whole Jessie and Natalie thing still irks me, they are like each others puppies. Does Jessie still think Natalie is 18 or has it come out yet? You would think that would make it on the show…
How is this any more embarassing than the shit she normally wears?…
LOVED IT!
I really love this season, it would be more fun if Casey and Braden were still in the house but if Jeff puts up Gnat and Jess Thurs it will be awesome! Thanks for the recaps!
Another awesome recap, Schoonie! The terrier-ist comment under Chima’s picture made me LOL.
Thursday’s episode is the first of the season I am really looking forward to. I hope Jeff doesn’t let us down! Gnat vs. Jessie would be spectacular.
The problem with this season is that there are no interesting people in the house. There are people that think they’re interesting, like Lydia and Jessie, but no one that elicits a strong emotion one way or the other.
Well, I strongly want to bang Jordan’s dumb hayseed ass, but that’s about it.
I loved that Russell rubbed salt in Lydia’s wound with, “I don’t expect you to use the veto on me…Lydia is your friend.” And then Kevin didn’t use the veto, and Lydia’s face curdled LOL
Chima is AWFUL and yes, she is a hypocrite.
I would PAY to see Jeff nuke the current nominations (and, to Chima, disrespect her decisions,) and put Jessie and Natalie against each other.
I miss the big pussy.
If Russell goes on Thursday there will be no one left worth watching. Well, Jessie but who is Jessie going to wrestle naked with? Jeff? Oy.
Okay, I would watch Jessie wrestle with Jeff but I wouldn’t enjoy it…too much.

In a perfect world, these three things will happen on Thursday;
1. Jeff will put up Jessie & Natalie.
2. Lydia will wear a pope hat.
3. Death by Ants in the Pants will be part of the HOH comp.
Love, hearts and all that crap.
shanti
It’s a real treat to watch how pathetic and whingy King Jesse has become. And to see how completely easily Chia and Ratalie pussy-whipped him.
Chia is despicable. The only reason they inserted the rape story was an attempt to provide a little bit of balance to her utter loathsomeness.
I suppose, given what happenened to her, she has the right to hate all of humanity, or men, at least. But why would she choose to bring that to national TV? (Apparently she has also suggested that Russell be put in prison so he can get raped… ?)
My hope is that Jessie goes this week, and Chia’s out next.
you forgot to recap the one of the greatest moments last night
natalie telling chima “hey! I’m a good competitor too”
just look at how well she’s done at every competition….NOT
am i the only one who thought her saying that was hilarious, only to be followed by her doing the WORST at veto!? loves it
Can you imagine if they added in that the raison d’etre is the coup d’etat. Their heads would blow off.
Is Jeff too dumb to put up Jessie and that loathsome piece of shit Natalie?! I hope he does it, but he might just be too stupid. Goddamn is he hot though.

Itchy, while I’m no fan of Chima’s, it’s a tad disingenuous to say that she is loathsome because she basically stood up to Russell. Russell’s whole game play has been to intimidate the HGs (Michelle, Ronnie, Chima, Lydia, and Kevin to a lesser extent) and it’s no longer working and he has been exposed as the sheep in wolf’s clothing, so to speak. She gave Russell what he deserved and on the live feeds (which cannot be discussed), Russell was no angel in his comments to her, either.
I mean, if you want to hate everyone in the BB house for making inappropriate comments, do you hate Braden for his “beaner” comment, or Jeff for calling gay men “fags” or any of that? No, because you like them, whereas you blame Chima for her “Russell should be raped” comment because you hate her.
In this context, go Chima!
Shera is a complete asshat who I think is a tranny. She is a racist and a hypocriate (sp?) she said earlier last week that america would never give the power to a person of color. Wondered when this douchekatard would play the race card. I can’t wait to see Shehe get the boot to his ass very soon.
there seems to be no question jeff will use the power…can he put up shehe? The power overthrows the HOH, so could he possibly put him on the block?
Aw, Schoonie, I’m right there with you on this week. I never thought I would miss the Survivor’s Dragonslayer, but all this Wizard talk has me reminiscing on a game where only one person was clearly insane. This crew, is like, whoa, w/ Jordan is the most normal female in the house … and she spells cat with a “k.”
slutty_whore, oh hell no, re: Chima, unless you mean “Go, Chima, take a long walk off a short pier and may I suggest cement boots?”
I wouldn’t wish rape on my worst enemy. How can Chima claim to want to reach out to traumatized youth and tell them about how being raped isn’t the end, when she is actively wishing the act on someone else? Just because she was raped 10 years ago does not give her the right to say whatever she wants without consequence. And she wants to be a role model?
Russell hasn’t been an angel, but Chima really is a loathsome piece or work who uses race-baiting and sex to get what she wants. She try Mother Theresa’s patience.
I know we aren’t supposed to mention the live feeds, but I thought BB’s attempt to make her more “human” by featuring her rape this late in the game was a transparent (and nauseating) attempt to counter-balance the bile she has been spewing for weeks. She is utterly cringe-worthy, playing on some of this country’s biggest weaknesses of race and sex — and seems completely clueless how repulsive her behavior is. It’s Pavlovian for me at this point: She opens her mouth, I cringe. I don’t hate Chima, but I do think her comment was completely beyond the pale. She’s a vain, arrogant, self-entitled cow and I do hope she watches her behavior on this show at some point and realizes exactly how, in a house of vain, arrogant, self-entitled idiots, she really managed to outdo herself. Sorry about the rant, but I have found this week barely tolerable. I must have if I want Coach back to establish reality normalcy. Sheesh.
I don’t think Russell hates women; he just doesn’t handle perceived injustices very well. Hence, his digs at Michelle. He isn’t lying about her; in fact, he has been completely honest about what she said, but b/c he rages like a maniac so no one pays attention and she wins by default. Note that veto speech he gave? That not-so-subtle dig to Kevin about Lydia being his friend and he should use the power on her? Yeah, that was pure Russell. And the sourpuss look on “sugarbear’s” face was hysterical. Schoonie pointed out it out, he’s an equal-opportunity rager. Stable? Not really, but not any worse than the other people on this show. I’d rather he go through with Jordan and Jeff than Chima and her posse (poor Jessie really doesn’t get how screwed he is does he? Aw).
I just can’t believe that Chima lets herself look like that on TV, I mean that hair is TTHHIIRRSSTTYY. I loved her backpedaling on the whole “terrorist” thing, though, that’s purely amazing and magical (in the wrongest possible way).
As far as Michelle and Russell’s fight, I see why he’s upset with her, she told him Chima wanted to backdoor him, he (rather stupidly IMO) brought Chima up to ask her if that was true, and that’s when Michelle lied and claimed she didn’t say that. When they got into it the second time it was clearly because she couldn’t take him trying to get her to admit that she lied (because she did) and that’s when she tried all those obfuscating tactics which devolved into screaming and her running to the HOH room to cry on her sister’s (who hate her) shoulders. I think her willful denial of reality (and her culpability) is what’s setting Russell off.
And when Jessie blamed America last night for his inability to “feel safe” these past couple of weeks, it made me just think “Good. I’m glad your nuts are going to shrivel up to cherrypit size, you putz.”
Great job, Schoonie!
love, J-Mo
For the record, I thought Braden was a complete and total idiot and was quite pleased that he got booted off when he did.
Jeff wasn’t calling a gay person ‘fag’, which wouldn’t make much sense (although he appears dimwitted enough to do that). And it’s not clear that Jeff knew what he was saying — I lived in Chicago for a few years, and ‘fag’ was used as a snipe at someone’s masculinity, not as a way of calling them homosexual (even though, granted, technically, that’s what you’re doing).
Since Jeff isn’t exactly the sharpest pencil on he desk, I had the idea that Jeff didn’t realize what he was saying (and didn’t even know that fag is a euphemism for homosexual)– and when someone complained that it was homophobic, he corrected himself and apologized. So I give him points for that.
Besides, anytime I hear that word I immediately think of that great line in Repo Man and say to myself “To hell he was!”
As for Russell…I just find him really disappointing. There have been moments when I thought he might actually have a decent strategy or at least a sense of gameplay, but he keeps fucking up all over the place.
At least he seems capable of recognizing the line — can’t recall him making any racist comments. If he chooses to go about terrorizing people with his ‘roid rage, well, that’s a strategy like any other, however misguided it might be. There’s a huge difference between telling him that he’s been terrorizing the others and calling him, knowingly, a terrorist.
Jennaboa summed up Chia’s loathsomeness better than I could. But I will add that I don’t need much more than her freakish appearance and insistence on laughing loudly at everything stupid thing she says to hate her.
And besides, her TRUE beef against Russell is that he rejected her advances. She’s the epitome of a woman scorned.
Oh yeah, about the Michelle v. Russell thing — all she had to do was tell him why she lied, i.e., because he was stepping on her game right there. It would have completely defused his idiot paranoia. I’d started to become interested in her, thinking she might finally be waking up to playing this game…but no, she’s just another limp noodle.
I haven’t watched many seasons of BB, but at least on the ones I have watched, there was always at least one or two people I wanted to win. This season, I sincerely hope they all lose.
And my worry is that Jeff really will be too stupid to use the wizard power — mostly because this season needs a huge shakeup.
Itchy – 100% agreement!
Itchy, based on your comments(#16), you essentially make my point for me. You hate Chima, therefore everything she does is seen through that prism. You can apply the same “loathsome” argument to any of the Houseguests. They have all done things that may call their characters into question. As a gay man who does not live in Chicago, whether Jeff was saying “fag” in the attacking masculinity way versus degrading homosexuality way, it doesn’t matter, because where I live (Philadelphia, PA) “fag” is a degrading term for homosexual and is disrespectful, no matter what. Jeff is old enough to know that what he said was going to cast a negative light on him. Chima may be a horrible person, but Jeff is no better.
And, as far as Russell’s strategy versus Chima’s, how is pulling an “Evil Dick” a more valid strategy than calling all the white people in the house racist or bigot and making them feel “white liberal guilt?” It’s all manipulation, no matter if Russell does it or if Chima does it.
IMHO, Chima just aligned herself with the “wrong” people (Ronnie, Jessie, and Natalie), in terms of viewer popularity. But, she should be commended for standing up to Russell (the only person this season to do so), thus, fucking up his strategy and exposing him as a fraud.
I already know that there won’t be too many people who agree with me on this point, but thanks for hearing me out at least. It’s all love.
Hold on a second, I never said I hate Chima. I merely find her loathsome. In a reality tv kind of way. ;-p
I’m still not sure how Russell being a tool justifies Chia’s ethnic stereotyping opportunism though.
There are all kinds of things she could have said to the roid-rager. But she chose to go ‘there.’
And it wasn’t the first time–she’d already tried it last week, I think, but CBS didn’t put it on the air.
Which leads me to suspect that the woman has one truly nasty agenda.
slutty_whore: why I don’t like Chima- she said
“If I was pregnant and knew it was going to be Down’s syndrome I would get an abortion” She has a right to think that but to say it out loud is a real slur against all the Down’s syndrome children God has chosen to put on earth.
“The only reason to do cocaine is to get skinny” That comment is so offensive.
“Russell you are a terrorist” She did not say that because he is a bully, she said it because he is Lebanese, one of my dad’s best friends was Lebanese, how dare she make that Arab slur.
“None of the HGs are capable of holding an intelligent conversation with me”. I’m afraid Michelle may speak over her head, Jordan too for that matter. The reasons go on and on, but I secretly don’t like her because of that incredibly offensive weave she wears!
A lot of the HGs diss Michelle because she is easy to pick on, but in her real life she’s working on an answer to cocaine addiction. I would have to think her life might actually benefit humanity where as Chima’s will only benefit Chima’s.
By the end of BB, you can take things that everyone in that house has said and say that’s a reason not to like them, as I did with Jeff and was done with Chima.
All I was trying to say is that it’s not really fair to hold Chima to a higher standard than the other people in the house.
Michelle may do more to benefit society, but I’m sure I’d prefer to hang out with Chima after BB.
Call me crazy.
slutty_whore:
Ewww you are crazy! JK! I always enjoy your posts. One of the reasons I like BB so much is because it something I would never do. I think we all say things at times that we wouldn’t want tattooed on our foreheads. At first I wanted Chima to win because she actually helped to get a serial killer off the streets and into Texas’ execution fast track (he was put to death in Feb). So I guess ib her way Chima has done a lot for society too. I still like Kevin. Some of the other posters thought he didn’t stand up for himself, but actually he does and is funny about it when it happens. Russell tried to bully him in a pool game and Kevin gave it right back! As far as him helping Lydia, there is no help for that poor girl, to quote Seinfeld “Your parents sure did a number on you!”. Back to Chima tho I can’t imagine hanging with her. I couldn’t get drunk enough to neutralize the pitch of her voice, let alone her laugh! Hope tonight’s show is great, they are not doing it live, the chickens!
Wow – lots of emotion this week! I too stopped liking almost all the HGs – I was rooting for Russell, but alas, not anymore…
Have any of you noticed that Michelle is dumbing down her speech? She seems to make obvious grammatical errors to make herself appear “one of the regular folk”.
Regarding Lydia’s head scarf – too bad it wasn’t a burka then we wouldn’t have to see her ugly mug!
My 2 cents:
I think it’s safe to say that we all have BB players that we gravitate to for a variety of subjective reasons. Arguably I’d say that we tend to like the players that we either think are like us, or are who we’d like to think we are. IMO there’s no shame in one saying that they simply like one person more than another. I also think that there can be objective reasons to dislike someone as well.
For instance: I understand that Chia Pet had a severely traumatic experience. Words can’t describe how horrific that must have been. That being said she has a such a sexist chip on her shoulder that I find it extremely off-putting. Also she has some significant control issues. Also I really do believe that saying one, or even a couple, of offensive things is different than saying many offensive comments.
I guess this was just a nice, semi-PC way to say that I can’t stand Chia Pet either and justify liking Jeff.
