As a reminder: TALKING ABOUT THE FEEDS HERE IN THE COMMENTS IS FORBIDDEN.

Oh Schoonie... you are sooo right about Rodney..err Ronnie. The guy is just embarrassing to watch to the point of being creeped out.

OMG Schoonie: Thanks for making me clean my screen from spit up tea! "So this must be what it looks like in Flipit's brain" was brilliant! And thanks for getting the recap posted so quickly. Loved it!

"Lord, beer me strength."
.

I've been saying that for years.

schoonie you are a bitch face. and i love you. that hairstyle is BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE THIS SHOW.

I'm no Jenius, but doesn't it make the most sense at this point in the game to nominate two people of the same clique, splitting the vote and handicapping them for the next HOH competition?

Is it just me, or does the "brain" clique have two of the dumbest people on the show in Ronnie and Chima?

Great recap. Clearly the people making this show are almost as dumb as the cast, and they assume their audience is as well. Thanks for getting the recap up so quick, since my DVR cut off with 10 minutes to go because God forbid America should miss Andy Rooney if so sports event runs over in the afternoon. Has that guy had anything worthwhile to say in a decade? I'd rather listen to Jessie.

It was easy to figure out who was going to win the competition...Of course the OutCasts would win a competition that is much like building your own bong.

And apparently in Jessie's mind "doing what most benefits Jessie" translates to doing whatever Russell tells me to.

By the way, Hottie McBoob is the best nickname ever.

That was most definitely a typo...HOOTIE, not Hottie.

Does she also have fake teeth?

OK that image of flipit's brain is stuck in my mind. And JasonR now you have me imagining what a debate between Jessie and Andy Rooney would look like. First they would have to put Andy in that blue T-shirt and purple pants just to even things up, then Jessie could do his trademark brrripp sound and Andy would apologize for farting. I guess they could work out together, Jessie pressing 900 LBs and Andy repeatedly lifting Jessie's T-shirt checking out his abs. Then Jessie would say "I really like this guy, he's cool, we have something in common, we both like my abs!" BTW doesn't anyone besides me like Braden? I think he's hilarious! Thanks for the recap Schoonie, I too was horrified by Dork's fauxhawk. Please it's 2009 everyone listen and get rid of your fauxhawks!

" Jessie says in the HOH with his nipple hanging out like he's Tara Reid"

I have to give this the early season nod for line of the year. Way to set the bar high!

let's talk about how putting someone in check IS NOT WINNING IN CHESS!!!! winning would be check mate. check would be signaling your king is in danger and then, just like natalie said, she can move her king out of check. no wonder jesse thought he was the chess champion of last season. no one else knew how to play!

whew. i needed to get that off my chest

Loved the recap. I was hoping you would catch the Chima off-beat error. Way to go Big Brother.

LOL, awesome recap, Schoonie! Hootie McBoob is a MUCH better nickname than any of the ones that were running through my mind. Did anybody else notice Ronnie's OTHER T-shirt that said "Live in your world, get pwned in mine"? That settled it: I'm never using "pwned" in a recap again. I also loved how during the pipe competition he was building shit that was actually curving AWAY from where it needed to connect. I'm beginning to think he's begging to repeat the swirlies of his childhood (I think the stupid fauxhawk is just a preparation for that eventuality!).

BTW, I loved the Atheletes wearing the purply-pink tights. No reason. I just like purply-pink tights.

love, J-Mo :)

P.S. Just so you guys know, I have never watched this show in my life, but I did watch last night and I'm hooked after only one episode.

P.P.S. I fear that the gay guy is also going to get pounded (and not in the way he wants) because he's super-annoying, too... :(

OMG - I HATE Jesse. HATE!!! Seriously - HAAAAAATTTTTE!!!!

OK...feeling better. I'll be ok, I think.

Hootie McBoob - thank you for that - so funny!

And, I can't believe they are doing the stupid pawn thing - it is so pointless. Gee, here's an idea...if you want Lydia or Hooty McBoob to go home, then perhaps you should PUT THEM BOTH ON THE BLOCK. DUH!!! There doesn't seem to be one intelligent BB player this season. Someone who actually knows how to play this game.

I miss Dan already!

Why did they bring back Jessie!?! UGH!!!

Re: the Dork shirt. I've always felt the same way about those "Idiot's guide" and "for Dummies" books. Only an idiot would buy a product that calls them an idiot...oh.

Anyhoo, as long as I'm forced to watch the giant inflatable tool this season, I can at least look forward to the point where he forgets the cameras and starts making those stupid noises he used to make.

Gads, what a douche. I just want to shoot the screen.

And yeah, I kept waiting for someone to point out that 'check' wins you nothing. He's the king of dunces, apparently, since no one else pointed this out.

How inevitable was it that the geeks would suck at a competition designed for them? Jeez. What morons. "Brains," my asshole. Lots of stupid people play video games, you know.

This whole clique thing is going to get tiring really fast. It's just plain stupid.

I do believe the producers went out of their way to sign up some pretty uninteresting and unattractive (i.e., who'd want to see any of them fucking?) people this season.

Hey!

Russell and Jesse are very attractive physically. I would like to see them wresting with each other - NAKED. Uh, and I know where the BB house is so I could drive by and OIL them up if they need it.

Schoonie:

Every time I read your recaps it's like I'm hearing my brother speak. I love my brother and you're a great guy but I think you might be "wrong" about Ronnie. I don't think he's nearly as terrible as you think he is.

If only Ronnie would hoist up his pants a bit, play the triangle, and say "Pat Sajack is a decent guy, I must say", he'd totally be Ed Grimley.

Jesse and Russell teaming up? Dumb and Dumber. The sooner either one of them is gone, the better.

Oh...I almost forgot:

Thanks for the reference to Amber. "The show that gave us the 'Amber Wants To Be A Model' Montage is here to teach you not to judge a book by it's cover!" TOO FUNNY!

"Hootie McBoob is a MUCH better nickname than any of the ones that were running through my mind. "

Don't thank me, thank Homer Simpson!

OMG, you're totally right, I can't believe I spaced on something as simple as that. LOL, Put me on the Brains' team for sure.

love, J-Mo :)

Schoonie: Thank you for not surrendering us in our hour of need, i.e., Jessie's return. I can stand the meathead and yet the so-called Brains on this show are stupid enough to try and align with him.

Alafoss: It's not just you.

Mr Dangerous: "I would like to see them wresting with each other - NAKED."

If you repeat it enough times, maybe it will happen? :)

I don't get these groups at all. When I was in high school, martial artists were just as much outcasts as the drama club kids and goths. We definitely weren't considered jocks, even if we played side sports like soccer. Willingly getting kicked without a pigskin ball being involved was considered weird and possibly unAmerican. (Seriously, we had one coach who considered all soccer players Communists; he called me the Little Red Bookworm. Arsehole.) It would be nice to think America has evolved enough since the 90s to include martial artists in the jocks, but I'm somehow doubting it.

And these Brains? Chima was a journy girl; she would have been an Outcast at my school (b/c writing for fun was a foreign concept). And being a gamer/LARPer does not make one a brain. It might make one strange. Might. Some LARPers and gamers are perfectly normal people with a strange past time, sort of like S&M practitioners. They just like to lose themselves in a fantasy for a while; it doesn't make their IQs higher just because their fantasy is on a computer. Ronnie, for example, seems to be dumber than Jessie. He might have been staring at World of Warcraft sex simulations too long.

Ditto Jason R!

Hysterical writing Schoonie. Hootie McBoob - fantastic!

What state did you grow up in jennaboa? Lord beer you strength. Definitely sounds like a red state AKA "Dumbfuckistan"

I'm hoping the gay guy becomes America's player. Then we can vote for him to come on to that dumbfuck Jessie. How long do you think it'd take to seduce him?

My bet is about 5 seconds.

This is my first season watching this too J-Mo. I don't hate Jesse, yet, but I do hate his Tara Reid nipples. And thank you everyone for pointing out the chess faux paux. At first I had to squint to see if it really was chess or was he trying to play checkers with chess pieces.

soapboxx- I kind of like Braden too. We'll see if that lasts.

Schoonie- you can't possibly be missing Coach this soon, right? Wonder what clique he was in, in h.s. Fab recap.

Loved the recap. In days gone by, in days of yore, I loved to follow the constant updates and comment on the Jokers site and all that, but ah, old now, and will just watch the show and read the wonderful TV gasm updates.

What a crew. Wish there was more of an age mishmash, but obviously Casey is the token "oldie" as he is the dude who never grew up, or whatever...such cliched casting...

And, Laura, hey, I want to like her, but I have aversion to seeing boobs so big that the veins are popping out and I have to ask, "WHY DO WOMEN DO THIS TO THEMSELVES?" Okay, you are free to do whatever you want to your own body, but seriously, who is that for? Is that for the menfolk? Really? She could be the most intelligent person in the world, but yet I would question her basic stability. It is so very weird to do that to one's own body.

Anyway...I guess the boob enlargment thing is just so standard now. Hope there comes a time when we all get over it and just deal with the boobs we are dealt. :)

Let the games begin...

I'm a little disappointed about the lack of nicknames for most of this crew. Maybe it's just early days?

Usually the recappers are on it right off the bat, but this time out it's almost as if you're treating these freaks with....[gasp]...respect.

Calling them by their actual names just makes them seem too...human.

Especially the pointy-featured pinheaded blow-up hulk doll.

Hey Schoonie - are you on Facebook?>
