Tonight, on Big Brother, dreams come true. My dreams. Amber's will be coming true at a later date.
Julie Chen is looking totally awesome in her neon orange hot pants, like she just stepped out of a Duran Duran video. Watch in awe as Julie Chen hides from aloof Englishmen on yachts while leaving mysterious paint trails all over Brazil!

Julie tells us all about how Eric and Jessica have been making out like...two people who have nothing better to do all over the house, while Dick and Daniele have "reopened old wounds" and grown farther apart. Considering that Dick and Daniele have caused me to reopen my arteries every time either one of them appears onscreen, this seems somehow poetic. Julie also tells us that nonetheless, the four of them have remained true to their alliance, which has "a secret fifth member", apparently. And that secret fifth member? Is us! Congratulations, America, you are in an alliance with Dick! Great! Now we can all finally say that we have something in common with former members of Quiet Riot.
As Julie tells us all about how Eric is at our beck and call after we demanded that he get Amber nominated (good call!), Eric appears onscreen live from the living room, where he is doing...something. Whatever it is, it's causing Daniele to laugh her ass off, which makes me absolutely positive that he's doing an impression of Nick's hair.

Seriously, what the hell is he doing? I am mesmerized, for some reason. I do love that Julie has no idea that Eric's putting on an elaborate pantomime of The Wedding Date while she blathers on about random crap. Robots: deadly aim with semi-automatic weapons, but absolutely no peripheral vision.
As we color in on Eric deciding not to use the veto, Amber tells us that this must mean that Eric is here only for himself. Because Amber is here to help someone else win, obviously. That's why she keeps crying at random intervals and asking God to watch over Zach all the time. God Bless You, Zach. And God Bless You...God.
Jessica is up in the HOH after the veto ceremony, and she's about to cry. Eric asks her what's wrong, and she expresses some remorse over the fact that she put up two people who had nothing against her, when she could have put up Dick and Daniele and gotten a major player out of the way. And then she starts crying. Aww! Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the first actual, genuine tears of this season. Eric, instead of giving her a hug like he should (and to score some points), he keeps his eye on the AP ball and basically tells Jess that Amber doesn't really like her, which is true, and also that Jess doesn't really like Amber either, and Jess is like, "No, I don't." and immediately stops crying, because she is the terminator.
The doorbell rings and Amber comes in. She says the following: "I just want to tell you that I really want to be here, and...(hysterics)."

She immediately apologizes for crying, and Eric's clearly had enough, and he rolls his eyes like, "It's alright, do continue with this tired old shit, you batshit crazy troll." She tells them that she thinks that "the good people" should be the ones to win. Obviously, this category includes her, and therefore, that is why she should stay. I have a theory that states that Amber is Miss Teen South Carolina 1987.
Out in the backyard, Dick pompously tells Zach that he is staying, because Dick believes that he is in control of the game. Zach tries to tell Dick that he wants to go to the final three with Daniele and Dick, because...and then he can't think of a way to finish it. Man, those compound sentences are killing the houseguests tonight! So he comes up with, "because..at least I'll win 50,000 dollars, right?" which...if you come in second, you're going to win that much with anyone else as a final two partner. Taking Dick or Daniele does not increase the amount. Nice argument there, Bunnicula.

I always love these recaps, but Schoonie, this one was AWESOME. You almost broke a cardinal rule: Do not waste beer - when you typed "It's alright, do continue with this tired old shit, you batshit crazy troll." I almost spit my beer out. And the fact that you mentioned Amber telling God to bless himself: that's been cracking us up.
I have wanted Amber out so badly, I told my husband today, "I have a feeling this one is going to be my big disappointment of this season," but lo and behold, I got my wish!
Can we mention live feed stuff from the past? Because there is something I'm dying to say and I'm not a member at those other places. It's really funny and about Amber.

Being a diehard Chargers fan, thanks for sending a cold chill of terror up my spine at the mention of Leaf, our 17-million dollar mistake. Wooh, it's going to take me a minute to shake that one off.
Anyway, hilarious as always, and I totally agree that I'm down with the way Jameka handles herself as a Christian. If only faith-based people were more like her and less like Amber, I wouldn't be so freaked out by them.

I don't usually post, but I just couldn't help myself.
"One time, Jesus ate-d my steak!" I have been laughing about that for 10 minutes now.
Watching the show, I thought that Chenbot saying "playa" was going to be my main source of giggles for the night, UNTIL Amber sprung the whole "inspirational speaker" thing on us. Bless you, God, for allowing even those that ride the short bus to have big dreams.
Great job, Schoonie! Love ya!

Good recap.
I am disappointed by the lack of sequester house footage.
The HoH comp is deliciously evil.

Yay, Amber's gone! Schoonie, excellent recap.
We have been dying to see the sequester footage too. Wondering what's up with that.

If I'm not mistaken, Eric's brother said that when Cheryl and Eric spoke before Eric entered the house, it was *Eric's* decision not to stay with Cheryl - not the other way around.

I commented last week that I now will have a reason to like Jen. She's at sequester with Dustin and Amber. Poor girl. That alone gives her a reason to bail out of there.
So, does anyone notice the marked difference in the way Dick is behaving? CBS is doing a great job of making him appear likeable and nice. He was positively bright and shiny last night. They even shed a humorous light on his constant spitting.
Dicklet still looks and sounds like the Bad Seed. Are these people not aware that we know what they say and do?
I'm betting on Eric and/or Jessica being placed on the block this week if anyone other than Eric wins the HOH. There are axes to be ground and the Dicks are going to rise up against Eric, finally.
As far as Eric winning the whole thing: not a chance, unless he goes up against Dick. Too many hard feelings against him in the sequester house. We can blame America for that.
Did anyone else notice the eyebrows on brother # 1?
We used to worry about Erika's mental state once she left the house last year and found out how she was played. I'm worried about Amber. Inspirational speaker? Were they allowed to bring drugs in the house?
And, finally, I love the Chenbot. Only she can attempt to be so solemn while speaking on what is at heart an amusing bit of selfish people on display. Which (another finally) makes me ask: How can these people ask to be kept in the house after nomination and then rail against anyone playing the game to WIN?

I think the "America's Playah" is my favorite Chenbot moment of the season.
I can't wait to see Dustin, Amber, and Jen in the sequester house together. All they need is Dick and it'll be a free-for-all.

I liked the "America's Playah" comment too... Anyone know what 153 means? 143 means "I love you"

I think that 153 is their code for "I adore you."

I had a vision. God came to me and said Amber would be going home.
Thank you God.
And God bless you.

That's a pretty solid answer. I would think you're right!

Maybe Amber will fall off the wagon if there is some drug cartel operating near the sequester house in Mexico. Two months of cold turkey and slop can make a crybaby cocktail waitress crack...

I was thinking it was probably "I heart you".
Can someone answer #1's question? I want to hear what the gossip is! I personally think it's OK to talk about old feed news, but I want to hear it from someone else, too.

I've talked about past live
feed stuff and BBAD and nobody said anything. That's usually where they show the funniest shit.
Plus I asked God and he said it was fine. He was over for dinner last night. Who knew he loved Tater-Tots?

All of the houseguests (well, just the women) dress-up for the eviction but amber...she put on a shirt and sweats.
I wish they would show the goodbye message from the evicted houseguest to the houseguest that was not voted out, that would be funny. I bet Amber cried.

I was extremely annoyed when i got home last night to find that my tivo did not have my thursday night indulgence on it...Stupid NFL! Speaking of football, I too loved the Ryan Leaf reference...I'm a Washington State Alum and love any excuse to laugh at our football program's "brightest" star! Thanks Schoonie for filling me in on what I missed!

What it was:
Dick, Eric and Zach were sitting around making fun of Amber on that game show and all three were talking about her face and that turned down lip. They were doing impressions of her. But HOW CAN THEY HAVE NOT NOTICED that until they saw her on TV?!? That totally boggled my mind. It was like they had never seen her before. ??????

I also thought 153 might be "I heart you." Its cheesiness fits perfectly for a grown man that makes pink scrapbooked valentines and says things like "smitten" and "skip to my lou."

I thought that 153 was "I trust you"...but what the hell do I know. Great recap!
