Speaking of inanimate objects, Julie Chen was on hand tonight, as always, to oversee the reliably awkward live episode. Tonight she had either just gotten laid or taken some valium because she seemed relatively at ease, not even scolding the house guests once during the HOH competition. I'm glad Julie was so relaxed because otherwise she might have noticed the giant camel toe she was sporting in her super tight white pants. Nevertheless, Ms. Chen flubbed up only once, and hit all her "But first" cues perfectly. Additionally, she has taken the fine art of the parenthetical aside to new levels. When Julie says "Holly, the model from Los Angeles", we really feel the apposition.

As predicted, the meeting of Julie and Holly was an auditory wonderland: the union of awkward robotic precision and flighty ditziness. The complete disconnect between these two was riveting. When Julie asked Holly about her thoughts on the eviction, we were surprised the model just didn't blurt out "Purple!" Later, during the goodbye videos, everyone pretty much told Holly she was an amazing person, except Diane who kept her valediction to a succinct "GOOD RIDDANCE!". But the biggest shock for Blondie came moments later when Adria and her twin, Natalie, appeared on screen together to say adios. Holly was completely baffled by the sight, and she had an expression that suggested her brain might actually explode, or at least issue a system error. You could see the mental processes all over her face as she tried to absorb the Adria twist. Her eyes seemed to say "Two... Adrias... No... mirrors... Pretty... earings..." Someone get this girl a cold compress.

Also needing some sort of self-medication was Jase who seemed to plunge into a mighty depression with the surprise ouster of his cuddle buddy. No more beard for you, Mister! As the household gathered in the wake of Holly's egress, Jase quietly separated himself from the group so he could have a moment alone by the bathtub. Marvin ambled around the corner, presumably to cheer up his buddy in need. But when the mortician came to an awkward halt, it became clear that all he wanted to do was pee. Marvin scurried over to the toilet with nary a word of support for his lovelorn friend. It was classic misdirection, all on live TV.

Question: Who's the only officially gay male of this group?
