Recap: Big Brother: Enough

Big Brother

By Flipit | | 7:22 am | 40 Comments

Previously on Big Brother, Zach cockblocked America’s eyebrows, Nick proved that he was just a big teenage girl all along, and God totally screwed Amber over.

Godtoldme

I’ll trade you my kid for the veto.

The veto meeting has ended, and Dani is still wearing what looks like the 70′s wallpaper my Meemaw had in her “powder room” back when I was a kid. This choice initially brings the word “brave” to mind, but when she whines “seriously, I’m sooorrry!” seconds after putting Jenius on the block because “some people here really care about the money,” and she “would hate to steal away their chances,” the whole getup looks fake and tacky. Like a nanny doesn’t need hundreds of thousands of dollars. This broke ass girl irons letters to five-for-one tanks from Costco. You “stole” away her chances of buying a real live heat press. Go to Hell, Flipper!

Meemawpowderroom

Meemaw’s powder room makes you look fat.

Jenius is rattled, and you can tell cuz she’s nervously nursing her bottle of water. I’d love to play poker with this chick. She tells us that when she’s still there next week (I dunno, sweets), the Dicklets will be her targets for the rest of the game. Way too little, way too late, Jenius. You got into bed with the slimy Dicks and now you’re just another scab to be picked off. I loved you. Why did you do this to me??

Jen tries to blow some steam off in the gym. I’ve never seen the treadmill move that fast and I have to look around to make sure it’s even the same room. I’m used to seeing Amber moping along on the machine like she’s on one of those automatic sidewalk things in airports. Dick, never one to just shut his stupid nicotine, coffee, and most likely unbrushed teeth slime filled mouth, comes in to tell her that she deserves to be on the block because she has admitted to not being a greedy, money driven bitch. Everyone resents the fact that she claims she doesn’t care about the money, according to him. She just answers “uh, no.” I’m telling you, she should be a lawyer. How can you argue with “uh, no”? Dick doesn’t know how to. She tells him she’s confident that Daniele won’t get the votes, and he looks at her in that amused/confused way we all do. He calls her a bitter bitch and leaves her to mechanically and confidently pound on the treadmill in Jenbot mode, completely unfazed by his abuse as usual.

Jenbotruns

Watch out, Chen. There’s a new bot in town.

The workout calmed Jenius down enough to come into the HOH suite and talk it out with Dicklet. And by talk it out I mean play with her hair and roll her eyes a lot. Jen and Daniele scenes are my favorite. Jen’s all “so like, huh?” And then Dani’s like “you’re like really like a strong competitor like me and you don’t like my brother soooo….”and Jen’s all “yeah.” Big smile hair twirl chair swivel. “But like I helped you and your brother last week and it was like hard for me to do that…I’m leaking? WTF?” and Dicklet’s all like “throw me a fish” and Jen does and Dani’s all “we’re like totally the best one’s here” and Jen’s like “yeah.” And then Dicklet goes “it’s not personal” and Jen rolls her eyes and smiles and goes “I dunno.” Hair twirl. Well have fun on your journey!” and Dani’s like “ok! Bye!” This has been yet another hard hitting debate on Meet the Press. Thanks for watching.

Yayimcrying

Yay! I’m crying!

Jen tells us that she’s really mad at the Dicks but she always gets the last laugh cuz she’s always having fun! Even when she’s t-crying! Giggle giggle. Leaking, stuttering…malfunctioning? Sure enough, as time passes, the wear and tear is finally starting to take effect. On the patio, she tells Jameka and Dick that she’s considering not going to the sequester house, and who can blame her?

Handlebars

Come on in! The water’s warm! And infected!

Jameka is appalled that someone could “denegrade” the game everyone else holds in such high regard by taking it all so lightly. Do what Jesus did and have a glass of wine, Jameka. You’re getting on my nerves. Jen says if she refused to go to the house, she would only lose her vote in the end so why put herself through a month of smelling Dustin? Dick blows smoke in her face and she musters up the courage to deliver her usual profoundly staggering defense: “What. Ever”. She gets up and tries to look easy breezy as she goes inside, but she’s obviously starting to get pissed. FINALLY. She goes to her room and starts packing her stuff. When she hears Dick come back inside, she hides a bag behind the couch. What the hell?

A sad piano song tinkers on while Dick rifles through her empty drawers. He stalks her to the kitchen and questions her about her missing stuff, but she blows him off. She’s concentrating on cooking three turkey burgers. HAHA! Oh, man. She’s on slop! Her middle finger is way up now, and I am falling deeper and deeper in love. Dick goes to the patio and grins smugly as he tells the other HG’s that she’s already packed and cooking. She comes out to say “hey!” and Jameka tells her to stop acting crazy before she messes up a good thing. It’s a very half-hearted protest, but I’m sure Jameka will get to cut the line in Heaven for being so honorable to her competitor. Dick mutters “crazy bitch” or something as classy and she goes back inside, but not to tend to her burgers. She’s on a mission.

She sneaks into Dick’s room with a hand cart and loads up his cases of Marlboro reds. The music isn’t sad now. She rolls the cases into the pantry and starts stomping on the packs and throwing them into the trashcan that she’s simultaneously filling with bleach. HOLY SHIT! GO, JENIUS!! She was hiding her clothes so she could carry out her evel plan without her threads having to suffer the consequences. Love it!

Germinator

This ain’t my first time at the rodeo.

My heart is seriously pounding now. Damn, there are a lot of cigarettes, but she just keeps smashing and soaking like a well oiled machine. Outside on the patio, Jessica warns Dick that the smell of a woman scorned is in the air and he should make sure his cigarettes are safe. That’s some of the sharpest female intuition I’ve ever witnessed. As Jen rushes to finish every last one of Dick’s smokes, I stand up. put my sweaty palms on my head and hold my breath. GO! GO! GO! GO!

Dick comes inside and speedwalks to his bedroom. I pray all the rapid movement will induce a deathly attack on the skanky geezer’s black heart, but he makes it all the way to his empty stash without dying. Dammit. I had a vision! Where are you, God?

He has enough breath left to yell (what else?) “BITCH!” He finds her on the patio and demands to know where his cigarettes are. “What. Ever.” Come on! They’re the only thing besides heroin he’s ever committed to in his life! She stays silent and he calls her a stupid bitch as many times as he can before tearing through the house. He doesn’t find his stash, but he finds some of hers. Jessica tells Jen that if her clothes are hidden in plastic bags then Dick just took them upstairs and Jen says “that’s fucked up!” LOL, Jenius.

Dick stows her clothes in the HOH suite, telling us that he’s gonna hold them ransom til he gets his stash back. He’s dated girls like this, so he knows how to handle em. Riiight. I’m sure you’ve had plenty of skanks retaliate against your psychotic, sniveling abuse, but I highly doubt you’ve dated anyone even close to Jenius’ general hotness bracket, Dickwad. Maybe date raped. But that would require getting a date with someone that fine. Ok, raped. Wait. Did Dick just brag about raping someone? I’m too excited to make sense of it all, but at this point I wouldn’t be surprised.

Oldweewee

Someone please put a patch in these jeans before that dirty sock falls on the floor.

He continues his search and hurls “stupid bitch” at Jen. Zzzzzzzz. Could you start throwing in a couple of c words every once in awhile just to color things up? You’ve totally desensitized everyone with “stupid bitch”. People are gonna be using it at watercoolers all across the country by the end of Summer. Happy Monday, stupid bitch! How was your weekend?

Instead of calling it a day and, I don’t know, looking for her clothes, Jen goes to the kitchen and makes herself a huge plate of food. Then she goes back to the patio and binges in front of everyone. The HG’s cannot believe their eyes, and no one likes a cheater. This was the dumbest possible thing Jenius could have done right now, but I have to press pause and wipe the tears from my eyes and gather my emotions. I have never felt so touched as I did watching Jenius scarf food like that down in public. It was like a shout out to binge eaters everywhere. HOLLA! Write a book, come out with a cd, I don’t care what it is. You do it, I will buy it and help make you rich, woman. You are a hero.

She’s called to the Diary room, where she tells us that her punishment for breaking her five hundred days of slop vow is one automatic vote against her. That’s it? It’s seems a little lax, but let’s not forget who’s sailing this ship.

Thm Allison Grodner

Big Sister understands.

Dick comes out to the patio smoking another cigarette. Jesus, Dick, ya might wanna start rationing that shit. He calls Jen an idiot and sits right next to her, purposely exhaling in her grill, and she gets up and tells him not to blow smoke in her face. He inhales deeply and exhales slowly, in her face. And she loses it. She starts trying to slap the cigarette out of his hand and he warns her that she’s gonna get burned. Move, girl, he ain’t kidding.

Sure enough, he starts stabbing at her with his cherry and jabs her palm a couple of times. She starts crying and losing her shit. DAMMIT!! HE FINALLY BROKE HER DOWN. She’s human after all (Now get off the front stoop and take those roses to your wife, Les)!

OK, what the hell? This is not right. Get this skeevy abusive cocksucking drug addict deadbeat dad starfucker son of a bitch wanna be OUT. AAAARRRGGGHHHHHH!!! I cannot believe this shit is going down! Instead of intervening in the bimbo branding, Eric and Jess chill in the hot tub and watch. Fucking spineless assholes. Jameka breaks them apart and takes Jen inside, telling her to let it go. LET IT GO? All the women should be teaming up to stab Dick a hundred times. Where’s the sisterhood? ARGH! I’m starting to sound like him. I don’t know how much more of this I can take before I’m locked in a padded room.

Whysoupset

Why are you so upset? He only tried to brand you! You should be flattered!

Chenbot pops up on the screen in a Donna Reed Goes to a Funeral dress and a tight, well oiled smile. Next up, Dicklet and Amber go on Drew Carey’s new game show! Yo, bot! Have the programmers not had time to clue you in? NO ONE CARES ABOUT DREW CAREY’S LATEST ATTEMPT TO PAY HIS MORTGAGE RIGHT NOW.

Commercial. Alright. Calm down, Flipit. It’s not the TV’s fault. DON’T TAKE A HAMMER TO IT. Breathe. Don’t cry out loud. Raindrops keep fallin’ on my head. Woah Black Betty bambalam. She’s a brick house. Argh. When “Brick House” can’t pull me out of a funk, something’s seriously wrong. BRB.

Have you ever had one of those crispy chicken snack wrap things from McDonald’s? They’re totally good for you. Where were we? Oh yeah, Dick should be eliminated automatically and everyone who’s aligned with him should be held upside down by their toenails over a pit of fire that’s roasting Dicklet like a pig on a spit. Smile giggle hair twirl.

Daniele and Amber, meanwhile, take a limo to a private jet heading for New York. Daniele’s excited to meet Drew Carey. What, your fa(bro)ther hasn’t introduced you to him yet? Amber says she’s seen pictures of New York and it looks so cool there! Then the stewardess kills her buzz by putting a plate of fruit in front of her. You can practically hear her think “If being rich means eating this crap, no thank you. Where are the Ding Dongs?”

Amberfruit

What’s froot?

When they get to the show, a smarmy British guy explains the rules of the show, which basically consist of randomly guessing percentages. They look a little scared, but he assures them that they won’t need brains. Phew. Time for makeup! Getting her face done by a pro makes Amber feel like she’s really somebody, and she tells the makeup girl that with her great personality, she’s sure the audience is just gonna love her. Yeah, you’re a regular Sandy Bullock. Dumbass. Each player will have a “special mystery guest” to help them out with the game. Amber’s shrink is standing by for her with a shot of cow tranquilizers just in case and Daniele gets…surprise! Nick! His mowhawk has grown into a softer, gentler, way douchier faux. Homely Boyfriend must be feeling awesome right now. I always wanted to see Nick naked, but his allegiance to Dicklet has totally turned me off tonight. Softie by proxie.

Drew announces the girls and the audience applauds politely. Amber dances around and shakes her underarms at them, trying to get them riled up, but it just makes them uncomfortably quiet. Wear sleeves, for chrissakes. You’re on TV. The bot cuts us off. HEY! We have to watch the show Tuesday to find out if they won! Uh, pass. Put those bitches on Survivor and maybe. I might be able to stomach watching Amber looking at Dicklet like she’s dinner while the threat of a violent death by wild animal looms overhead, but subjecting myself to a show where these morons get another chance to win a huge amount of money for doing absolutely nothing? As Jenius would say, “uh, no.”

Back to Big Brother. The HG’s are all convened for Elimination and Chen asks Amber and Daniele what they learned on their trip. Dani thanks the show for the amazing opportunity and Amber says she digested the medication her shrink shoved down her gullet “cleared her head” and learned a lot about life. On Drew Carey’s game show. Oy. Now for some very serious business, Chenbot asks Jenius how it feels to be the first person in 8 seasons to tell Big Brother to go fuck himself. Jen says she was mad at the show, so she ate. Score another one for our team.

The bot almost turns away from the screen like she’s done, but another question prints out of her hand.

Chenskinny

Reboot. Eric’s Eyebrow’s, do you have a fetish for dressing like a chick?

He shouts his answer like he’s trying to communicate with her through a closed window and laughs with his big horse face. Yes. Moving on. Time for alone time with Dani. The bot asks why she’s wearing so many unflattering oversized clothes. Dicklet says that she doesn’t want to look like a scarecrow cuz scarecrows are weak and she plans on being strong enough to screw over her fa(bro)ther in the finale. Aw, family.

Jen and Jameka are given their alloted time to plead their cases. Jenius sticks up her middle finger and Jameka does an imitation of Johnny Cochran.

Jamekacochran

“I hope that with that giving you my word you all can see some individual benefits with that.”

Time for voting. Amber starts tugging that gd necklace and I hit FF. Sorry, but do we have any doubt that every single vote will be against Jenius? Wait a second. Pause. Can Chenbots get knocked up?

Preggerbot

Please insert a blank disc.

As expected, it’s unanimous. Even America voted against Jen! Damn you America! And damn you Big Brother! Jameka, Amber, Zach and Daniele all give her fake awkward hugs as she takes her hot pants and her huge smile to the door. Eric shouts “Jen, as glad as you are to be leaving, we’re happier to see you go.” Oh shut up, you twitchy midget. Jen smiles hugely and says “That’s perfect!” Man, I hate that it’s ending this way for her, but she did it to herself the second she trusted the Dicks. When she leaves the house, she sees the Julie and says “Look! Real people!” LOL, Jenius, but wrong again.

The bot gives the HG’s time to trash Jen and call her bitch and blah blah blah. Dicklet says that Jen told her “thanks for having my back”. HAHAHA. Dammit, Jen. Come baaaack!!!! Chenbot goes over the Jenius non reactions to Dick’s abuse and suggests they might be from the same factory in Japan. She pokes Jen with her pointing finger and a droplet of blood forms on her bicep. Nope, sorry! It’s a lonely life, bot. Someday Les will take that padding out of your pooch and build you a real baby bot, until then you’re just gonna have to soldier on alone. Deal with it. She asks if Jen thinks Dick was behaving like his true self or if his dickishness was strategy. Jenius replies that either way, his behavior is inappropriate. Well said.

And now, the Vagina Monologues! Every pussy in the house gets one! The spotlight shines on Jameka first. She thought Jen was a vapid self centered moron at first, but then realized later that she didn’t have bad intentions. Eric is all love and hearts and says he hopes he can come along on her Melrose shoe shopping trip with Kail. Hypocrite liar douche bag big bird jackass. Dick, as usual, says that she deserved it in that smug, self satisfied way he kisses off everyone with. What, no final threat to skull rape her for old time’s sake? HATE. Zach grandstands about integrity, like he’s got a chance to still be standing in the end. “See you in a month!” More like in the next couple of weeks, tiny pee. Amber says that her “first impression on you” wasn’t very good, but Jen turned out to be beautiful on the inside and out. I have to note that Amber is still wearing her makeup from the Drew Carey show. Wash your face, you fat whiny fake. Are my feelings clear here? I was called a fat bitch a couple weeks ago in the comments for disliking sweet little Dustin. Well guess what? This one episode has made me ten times fatter and bitchier, so suck it.

This circus ends without one mention of the cigarette attack. That figures. Back to business! I think we all learned something here today. Burning someone you don’t like, threatening to rape them. and being an abusive misogynist is ok, but bingeing on contraband turkey burgers is evil and unacceptable. Got it? Now, go take on the day!

The HOH competition will be true or false questions about the evicted HGs. When the players get the answers wrong, Jenius will press a button that sends them falling into tanks of ice cold water. Jessica instinctively reaches for the Valley Girl Claw on top of her head, which has grown out and been molded into some kind of ugly meringue like formation. Eric’s the first one out, followed by Amber and Zach.

Amberdunk

Sorry you had to lose your fancy shmancy face. Back to being a nobody.

Jen cheers when she gets to dunk Dick, which means Jessica has won again!! I suppose out of everyone left, I hate her the least right now, so kinda yay. The hair pie survives. The Dicks, Zach, and Eric’s eyebrows hoot and holler, and God rolls his eyes. Amber and Jameka are gonna be up his ass all week.

Story

Epilogue: Sorry if my vitriol was a bit much to suffer through this week, but I write these as I watch the show, and my reactions are spontaneous. As you can tell, I was pretty disgusted by what went down tonight, and am mortified that Dick not only got away with his behavior AGAIN, but was supported and practically cheered on by the other HG’s. I will take a couple Vicodin before the next recap with a glass of wine. Promise. HEART.

    Don’t you dare apologize; you were right on target. I’m totally turned off by that abusive, arrogant low-life Dickhead. And his dicklet daughter. This is the worst crop, with Jessica being the only exception, that has “graced” BB. This episode was a horrible lesson on morals.

    I’m sooo glad that Jen had a chance to destroy Dick’s stash of cancer sticks before she was evicted.

    I’m not one for censorship nor a fan of cigarettes, but how fair is it that he can bring so many packs. To participate on ‘Big Brother’, are you only allowed to bring your clothes, a bible and 3 month supply of smokes? Nobody gets to bring cigarettes on ‘Survivor’, so why ‘Big Brother’?

    Can’t wait until Dick runs out of them if that happens.

    Here’s a thought: Maybe Mike Boogie can hire Dick to manage one of his bars. What a pair they would make! Maybe then Dr. Will would take care of whatever diseases this filthy bastard has on him and cure Daniele’s anorexia.

    Can’t wait for jack to comment this week; the man knows whereof he speaks and has the time to leave long assessments of the situation.

    I started out kind of liking Eric. The first episodes he was sort of nebbishy and funny. Now when he talks he seems to be withholding rage, as evidenced by his dancing, angry eyes and brows.

    I’m still afraid that unless something fantastic happens it’ll be Dick and Dicklet in the finals. But, if they do win, I hope that, á la Charla, she decides to keep ALL the loot. Here’s my finger, Dad! You’re No. 1!!

    Thinking about it, this is most likely the only week that Jessica and Eric can semi-save themselves. While I don’t think Dick deserves to be in the house anymore because of his behavior, a more fitting punishment would be for him to be in the house without his daughter because he will fall apart. I think Jess should once again put up Jameka and Amber, then when one of the four (Jess, Eric, Jameka, or Amber) win veto, use it to put Danielle up. Jessica can sway Zach’s vote, so they only vote for Danielle to stay will be Dick. Its semi redeeming for Jess and Eric, and the four can then go after Zach and Dick the next weeks, bringing them to the final four as planned. I hate Amber, but at least her ridiculous self centerness and ‘visions’ can be semi entertaining (courtesy of the editors and sound effects) but I cannot stand Dick and Daniele in that house any longer. And Daniele has to go first, because she definitely is the better player.

    What does Jen expect when she tried to grab a lit cigarette?
    I don’t like Dick and I definitely think that he treated her badly while she was there, but come on….it’s a little fire, those burn when you touch them!

    Withdrawal Watch ’07 : As nice as it would be to see Dick endure some tortures at the hands of his own nicotine habit, it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen.

    In one of the rarely interesting Showtime After Darks, after Jen had trashed Dick’s stash he was strolling around very happily citing some BB rule that “you can hide someone’s belongings, but cannot destroy them.” I guessing CBS replaced the smokes that Jen bleached.

    Hope this doesn’t count as a spoiler, but as a clarification instead. I know that personally I would have been pissed that the Thursday CBS show didn’t address the matter at all.

    Hey Flippy, no need to apologize. Dick is pretty much the biggest asshole ever and the more people realize this the better. Eric is a close 2nd as Dick’s douchebag apprentice. I will miss Jen and the awesome edit she USUALLY got (asking for white belts = classic). Waiting to see if/when Zach will cock-block Eric has become my new favorite game while watching the feeds. He always does it, and I always win!

    The only thing that offended me about Jen’s binge was her food of choice. Who goes off of weeks of slop by stuffing their face with turkey burgers, vegetables and COTTAGE CHEESE???

    I can only hope that one of The Dicks gets ‘backdoored’ this week.

    Right on every point Flipit. To everyone who has been defending Dick up to now, I’d like to hear your rationalizations this time. The frustrating thing is that he will never believe he’s done anything wrong. The only thing I want to see now is Dani screwing him over. Will this happen? And I hope Jen figures something out to leave sequester, if that’s what she wants. If Dick gets evicted, he needs to be sent to maximum security, not some beach in Mexico. HATE.

    How is Dick blatantly blowing smoke in Jen’s face NOT considered a physical assault? Flipit, I was so upset watching Jen eating on that couch, I was tearing up! And I felt the same as you re: the other houseguests heartlessness. I *loved* Jen’s speech at the end. LOL. And the fact that the houseguests were so appalled that she would say it only show how deluded that bunch has become! HATE!!!

    Thank you flipit! You’ve pretty much summed up everything that I’ve been saying since the beginning. Let me just say that I will no longer watch the show and I will just rely myself on the recaps!

    I tend to believe that the votes were also rigged. Jen had a harsher punishment for eating the food. I read on the feeds that Jen was suppose to be be automatically on the block the week after if she managed to stay and she would not be able to compete for the POV. Why exactly did it change? Fat alison probably couldn’t stand the fact that she was actually rebelling so she changed the penalty. You guys didn’t see anything, BB8 made it look like Evil Dick wasn’t the instigator or he did not cause the ruckus. It just shows you the power of editing.

    Nobody caught this one either…Before Jen left the house, she said to Jessica, INFRONT OF EVERYONE, that Eric had a girlfriend named Cheryl…I guess I’m the only one who caught on to it???

    ya…I think so.

    Great recap as usual flipit!

    I hope Jessica puts up Dick and Zach so that they can try to win the veto and replace Zach with Dicklet and backdoor her. Seeing as that’s what she should have done the first time. It would really be an assured boot since if Dick won and used the veto on himself, she could just put Dicklet up instead, which would be hilarious.

    omg! Flipit do not apologize! that show had me heated. wtf? i wanted Jen to beat ED’s a$$–how is he still in there? he (verbally) assaulted Jen for 6 weeks, dumped tea on her head, then burned her with a cigarette–and all of that was totally intentional. the worst part is that NO ONE stood up for Jen. i don’t care how much they dislike her, ED crossed the line. i’m sure they don’t want him to turn on them, but now that his favorite target is gone he is going to have to replace her with someone–i hope it turns out to be that little weasel eric.

    also, i don’t understand why everyone was saying that Jen cheated. she was pissed off at BB–which i completely understand, they let that man torture her for weeks–so she decided to break the rules. she wasn’t sneaking around, which would be cheating, she announced her intentions and followed through–how is that cheating?

    dicklet’s smug HOH interview was repulsive. she lets her father do the dirty work, then she will turn on him in the end and she will come out smelling like a rose. that is her strategy? go dani! you can tell it will work too because even Jen fell for the whole poor Dani routine. HATE!

    Flipit as for your reactions: forget the Vicodin and keep up the Vitriol! The HGs need to have a record of exactly what we all think of them. And it’s what all the rest of us look forward to. That was the best, most accurate assessment yet.

    ok.

    first of all- fantastic recap! your vitrol was nothing compared to what i was spewing at the tv last night. i’m so glad that someone else sees through the HORRIBLE editing that cbs has been engaging in.

    now the rant.

    i have been a fan since the first season. and i have NEVER been so disgusted and disappointed in this show’s producers and editors as i was last night. they paint dick in as positive a light as humanly possible, and they painted jen in a bad one. it makes me SICK to think that a guy like dick is going to be rewarded for his behavior instead of shamed and thrown in some dark corner of the earth.

    what they showed on the episode last night was nothing like how things went down. they cut out hours (no exaggeration) of dick verbally and emotionally abusing jen. and flip it, he DID throw the c-word in quite a few times and it was awful. and jess and eric just sat there the whole time.

    jen clearly snapped. she was crying while she was eating and they edited that out. She was pissed because big brother gave dick a new supply of cigarettes even though they told her (before the show apparently?) that she could destroy cigarettes.

    another thing that they didn’t show? the original penalty for eating when you’re on slop was that you’d be automatically on the block the next week. but when the HG’s realized this, they thought about keeping jen around for another week. so big brother CHANGED THE RULES. you can’t change the rules just because it doesn’t suit you. in the words of jen, “that sucks.”

    i don’t like jen that much either, but she’s a human being and deserves to be treated like one from the people on the show, but more importantly from the big brother staff. I think they owe her and their audience a huge apology.

    sorry again for the rant but i’m still boiling about this whole thing. whew! venting feels good!

    I must be the only person here who’s glad to see Jen go. She struck me as a very narcissistic person and frankly didn’t play the game very well. She went after D&D in the beginning because she let personal jealousy cloud her thinking. And I’ve been wondering when she would try to form or join an alliance, but it never happened.

    Having said that, what Dick/Eric have been doing is clearly wrong. The producers should prevent it as much as they are able.

    Yeah, after I watched the show my very first thought (and my first e-mail to flip) was “God, I’m glad I don’t have to recap that.” Seriously, I’m finding it hard even to root for Jessica at this point.

    I despise Eric more and more each week. His little comment as Jen was leaving struck me as cowardly. He’s the type who speaks up, quivering with excitement, when he knows the person can’t hear him or do anything about it.

    And don’t get me started on Dick.I swear he is completely abusive….I hope he gets reamed by people once he is out of the house. Unfortunately, the burnouts he hangs with, think he is a hero. Gag.

    Everyone here seems to be thinking the same things as me regarding the abusive nature of ED and the unfair editing of BB8 (although to think his behavior is actually WORSE than what we see is SHAMEFUL!)

    I just wanted to add my two cents too.

    He just kept following her. She would leave the room and he’d follow her to harrass her. *WHY* didn’t BB8 do anything?? I want an explanation.

    And to think she endured this torture for weeks feeling completely isolated!

    And honestly I don’t know who to be more pissed off at – BB8, ED, or EVERYONE ELSE for not doing anything!

    (deep breath)

    PS – LOVED her exit speech!

    Great recap! You pretty much say everything I want to but better.
    I have the feeds so let me tell you what actually went down leading up to Dick burning her.

    The scene where it showed Jess telling Jen that Dick was taking her clothes up to the HoH and you hear Jen saying That’s Fucked up… didn’t happen like that.
    Dick had already taken all of Jen’s things up to HoH. He was taking HIS OWN things up to the HoH room so she wouldn’t do anything to his clothes. She also didn’t even say “That’s Fucked up” when Jess told her. BB editted that line in.

    Also, when Dick went outside where he blew smoke in her face. He had already gotten his replacement cigs from BB. He was just going outside to smoke/gloat in Jen’s face.

    Anyways.. I can’t believe people are still defending Dick after what he did.
    If Jen had only gotten burned by her trying to grab the cig, fine, it would’ve been only her own fault, but as soon as he started to JAB HER WITH HIS CIG INTENTIONALLY TRYING TO BURN HER… then it changes into assault.

    I can’t believe BB didn’t even do freaking ANYTHING to him. THAT is what pisses me off more than anything, that they let him get away with purposely trying to burn someone.

    Isn’t it wonderful that Eric has won HOH twice now ! We now get to watch the little cock-tease give him blue balls every night while he brain-washes her into doing things his way before going to bed to beat off. Ah, isn’t love grand!

    I am kinda at a loss for words….because i can’t beleive what I am seeing in my FAVORITE TV show, and because I am sick of saying the same thing over, and over, and over……….

    I feel the same way most of you feel. Dick is a f!%@%!@% asshole, and not on a “gah that guy sucks” kind of level. I’m talking a horribly abusive, demented, masogonistic person who I am sure has a long list of people he has seriously hurt and fucked over throughout the years. And why the hell Eric and Jessica would entrust their faith in someone like that and KEEP them in the house….well, it speaks volumes for the kind of people they are, the kind of people the Big Bro producers have become, and even America for all the Viewers Choice BS.

    I have been watching since season 1 and I have never seen anything like this before. Sadly, BB has taken the same “Ohhhh let’s CREATE as much drama as possible for RATING$” route as 99.9% of the other sleazy reality shows there. I always thought there was some “integrity” in Big Bro. You know, on a reality show level.

    I am almost to the point where I can not stomach watching the show. It’s like I am condoning Dick’s behavior as well.
    I have a HUGE feeling Dick and Daniele will win. And honestly the thought of it makes me fucking sick.

    I’m totally with you anniedawg25, and I’m actually kind of frightened about being surrounded by Americans who have voted Dick the most popular player. Ugh, and you can’t tell who those people are just by looking at them! If the ratings don’t fall after last night, it will only frighten me more. I think CBS is seriously at fault for allowing it to get this far. (I hated Howie, too, by the way.)

    Mink, I’m trying to get over it. I’ve stopped watching CBS, and I’ve sworn off the forums, but I will never abandon the TVgasm recaps, so it might take a while.

    I certainly hope some sympathetic people show up to the finale for Jen, because it’s going to be one ugly wrap party otherwise. And I mean ugly in every sense.

    Where can I get a JENSA MEMBER t-shirt?

    Flipit, you have nothing to apologize for. In fact I admire your restraint. I’m am so sick of this Addam’s Family Reunion show that is D&D. I’m surprised Jen didn’t put Jameka’s bible in a pillowcase and beat the living shit out of Dick-sease after he retired to his coffin.
    As far as someone calling you fat, fuck em. Skinny bitches suck ass. Look at Daniele. The reason she started wearing baggy clothes is because her bones kept poking holes in her tight clothes. Thank God for BBAD or CBS would have us believe poor little Dicksease is being mistreated by the Big Bad Jen. These people are stepping on my last nerve. I am on a low carb diet(again) but everytime I see Dick’s nasty ass I go running for Doritoes and large chunks of bread. Well, after the initial waves of nausea have passed of course.
    Anyway we all love you so don’t change how you recap!

    I have been a faithful reader since the beginning of this site. However, due to my outrage over this episode, I felt the need to post for the first time ever.

    I felt so strongly after what had happened on this episode that I deleted the recording after the Jen/Dick exchange. I’ve been a fan of BB since season 2 and have read the forum updates for the past couple of years.

    Since the beginning of BB8, I have read about ED’s tirads almost on a daily basis. Regarding ED, this is in no way strategy or it wouldn’t happen everyday against someone. Jen has become an easy out in the house and it frustrates me that people allow that to go on. (It was one thing to read about this exchange from the feeds and another to see the video.)

    I have always been a TV lover, but last night I couldn’t even watch the rest of last night’s show due to the blatant disregard on the producers part to intervene. No one should be subjected to that abuse, in a house where you have nowhere to hide, for 50 some days. Who can blame her for finally snapping?

    I will be boycotting the CBS shows, but as an loyal reader, I will still read the recaps. However, I can’t watch the emotional abuse CBS is allowing (and in most cases not portraying) anymore by way of Dick’s actions. Since it will no longer be Jen, he will start with someone new. Trust.

    The following is meant not as a spoiler, but as a clarification of what went down between Jen and Dick during the “Cigarette Incident.” I watched the feeds during the fight between Jen and Dick. First know that D was harassing J for some time when she decided to trash his cigs. He then started to hide her clothes. At some point the producers gave D all of his cigarettes back because of some rule where you can hide others stuff, but can’t destroy. J was upset because she claimed she specifically asked the producers could she destroy his cigs and they told her yes. So she felt betrayed. That is why she started eating. She also knew already that they would all vote against her because she asked them. Another thing — once she got burned by the cigs and they started arguing very heatedly — the producers did step in, because the live feed stopped.

    While not a big fan of Jen, I was stunned by the abuse she had to take by Dick. You have no idea of the verbal abuse he placed on her almost constantly. I’d like to know who amongst you could have dealth with that without drop kicking his @##!

    I know I couldn’t.
