Big Brother: Too Little, Too Late

Previously, on Big Brother: events required me to root for Jameka and Zach, because 1) Jessica and Eric sort of messed up a couple of weeks ago, and 2) America humbly requested that they do so. So now I have to root for the Big Brother equivalent of Whoever Is Playing The Yankees. So thanks. Jerks.

My daddy'll make you pay!

We flashback to Eric and Jessica getting evicted from the house. Daniele tells us that it was no longer in her best interests to keep Jessica and Eric around the house, which would be correct. I begrudgingly tip my hat to her giant scary face. Eric is all emotional in the Diary Room as he tells us that Dick and Daniele "will need armed security" if Jess gets evicted, because he is going to be "a monster". Apparently an impotent monster who doesn't win anything and embarrasses himself by telling a girl he loves her on live television. He does sort of look like a Mogwai in some ways. Don't feed Eric after midnight!

Monster
Monster

Eric tells Daniele and Dick that they could have just told him that she was going. And why wouldn't they do that? They've been nothing but honest the entire time about everything. Like they say, their game has been so honest and straight forward so far! Jameka tells us that she's still here because she made a deal with ED. She doesn't know that Jess was going home anyway and Dick was just taking advantage of the situation, but in the workout room, Dick makes her promise not to put him up with Daniele from this point onward, and then Ambers the deal by making her promise her firstborn as well. Jameka has no choice but to take the deal, even though you can tell it makes her want to throw up a little in her mouth. On a side note, how gross is it that these people have let the Donatos make it so far together that all that has to happen is that they can't go up together and they still get to dominate the game? Dumbasses. When does Survivor start?

Flashback to Thursday' HOH competition. Dick cops to the fact that he was just guessing about stuff, and then the stupid guitar music of Dick is a giant poseur starts playing while he celebrates with Daniele in the round room. He hugs all up on her while Zach stands in the room with them trying to pretend like they care about him at all. Awkward!

Flashback to Eric and Jameka going up. Didn't you guys see all of this already? What the hell? Flashback to Zach winning the veto. Daniele gloats her ass off after the competition telling Jameka that she's not going home, even though she could have if Zach had used the veto. Yet another damn flashback to Eric getting evicted. This feels like the morning after a really fuzzy drunk evening. As Eric gets evicted, Daniele tells us that Eric deserved to get evicted because he was one of the "biggest liars in the game". Well, that's true, he was ONE OF THEM, there, Skinny McHypocrite.

Dickisours
Next time you pray, God's not gangsta, we are.

All four of them celebrate how far they've gotten in the game. Dick tells the Diary Room that he and Daniele are in the Final Three for sure, because they've got agreements with everyone. Then, he goes in the Round Room to have a discussion with Daniele and he leaves Zach outside, which is apparently the thing that starts to give him an inkling that he won't be making it much past the final three. Gee, it was that? Zach lays on the bed, thinking about tearing up his Official Donato Family Membership Card. But he already knows the secret handshake!

Daniele and Dick talk about how concerned they are with "the veto and everything this week" even though the HOH competition hasn't happened yet and they only really have Daniele playing because Dick isn't eligible. Oh, how tasty this will all be if it works out correctly. Then they say that they're probably going to be sending Zach home this week and gloat about it, saying that they've then officially betrayed just about everyone in the game. Wow, a little perspective, finally! Lemme check: Nope, still hate them.

cattfan:

Zach blew it last week when he should have pulled Eric off the hot seat, forcing Danielle onto the block.

IMHO, they're all idiots.

Thanks for pointing out The Dicks hypocrisy: They were gonna boot Zach's butt out, but HOW DARE HE turn on Them! LOL!

trixie:

I love your recaps and yes like Corri, I too felt your pain.
This is the first year I have been on this site for the recaps, mad at myself for not finding you all sooner. This place rocks.
Can't say that for this season of our BB tho, your humor about it yes....

Collavoce:

Why is this show still taking up airtime???? They should just stop it now and have the jury vote on who's left and play reruns of something good instead.... urgh!

trixie:

Love this site and everyones humor.
I felt your pain as well.
This season has been a let down. What is up with the dicklets neverending birthday. What is up with her just now turning 21. The rules clearly state must be 21 to enter the BIG BROTHER HOUSE.

I want a season DO-OVER!
lol.

Tony A.:

What has been unbelievable to me is how the entire house was cowed by Dick, What the hell were they afraid of? I would have made it my mission to destroy that piece of garbage as soon as he started in on people. Instead, they all turned away as he abused each and everyone in turn. They actually bowed and scraped and curried his favor. How the logic didn't penetrate Zach's head until last night is beyond me. Go back and see, The Dicks kept telling him they were taking him to the final three. Whaaaaaa? Did he think they would eliminate each other so he could win something?

When they revealed Jameka's promise last night I was jumping up and down. How in hell does a grown person get forced into promising to obey the Dicks NO MATTER WHAT? If I remember Dick's words correctly he said, "we OWN you". In spite of potentially having GOD be pissed at me, I would have told that asshole to fuck himself. Period.

I seriously think I'm going to avoid seeing the next two show and just be there for the finale and see if any jury members have the balls to tell the Dicks how they regret having to award the top two places to them. And, BTW, the Donatos together are worse than Mike/Erika.At least poor Erika was deluded and fooled by Mike. Daniele has been an active participant all the way.

Anonymous:

And, re the rule the contestants MUST be 21. Did BB let that slide on a technicality?

ralume:

You are the greatest, Schoonie!

nestofvipers:

i wished they'd used the best part of dani's whining about zach's hoh win. she was extremely upset that while she tried to puzzle the answer to the tiebreaker out... all zach did was 'do math in his head'. yeah that's totally not fair dani... stupid smart people! ugh! it's soooo frustrating!! you don't understand!

wed19844 [TypeKey Profile Page]:

Great recap again!
Since I am a live feed watcher I must say Dani's pout fest after losing to Zach went on for at least 12 hours not the few minutes they chose to show. She ran straight to daddy. She loooooves her daddy to do her dirty work. She worked hours getting Dick riled up even suggesting he get some pots and pans to bang over his head.
And then there was Dicks blatant talk of cheating with his son. Having won that HOH for 3 hours Dick got a letter and they had worked out a code before coming in so Dick would know which HG's he should not trust. It was kind of mute at that point because they were all gone but he talked about it before they cut the feeds. Eating Turkey Burgers is cheating! Not coded letters!!
Dick just blew it off saying "if Johnny Fairplay can do it so can I".

Wondermutt:

Schne...there hasn't been a satisfying finale since Season 2. Thanks for sticking this season out with the killer recaps!!

Although their tactics have been questionable and distasteful, the Dicks actually played the game. Boog's win was by CT proxy since Will got him there, and Erica did nothing (unless you count skanking under the radar).

fr94114:

Zack and Jameka are the typical BB contestants blank, bland and boring! I say do Dani and Evil! I hope they make it to the final 2! Besides if they were stupid enough to be out smarted by those Trailer Park rejects, (Dani and Evil) they don't "deserve" to win!

cajah:

Zach's speech was very enjoyable. He was honest, forthright and succinct. The fact that that he wanted to break them up and give Jameka a fighting chance was decent. I am now happy if Zach or Jameka take it, hoping the one who doesn't manages to come in second.

Jameka derserves to win for all the Dick abuse, and Zach deserves to win because he really was ostracized from the beginning.

Does anyone else suspect that the BB producers aren't showing the sequester house because they had to split them up? If I were Jen, I wouldn't of wanted to stay with any of them.

JasonR:

Schoonie,
I'm still snickering about Dani as "the perfect storm of 'Get Off My TV.'"

You are a Jenius, and I too am already thinking about a fresh start with "Survivor" so I can start hating a whole new bunch of douchebags.

I'll end my comment with a little prayer:

Please God, I know I'm not one of the "good people", but it would enhance my viewing experience so much to see Danielle's bony, whiny, self-entitled, hypocritical ass booted this week. Thanks and God bless you, God.
Love, your pal,
Jason

Shelley:

If there is a D&D final this year I will seriously have to reconsider watching next year.

I will just not be able to stomach two more people I can't stand making it to the finals of this show.

I would love for Jameka to win if only to prove that one can win this game without lying, backstabbing, or winning a competition.

chooch850:

After the nomination ceremony,all D&D could do was complain about how lame Zach's speech was. When I finally got to see the speech for myself, I thought it was very truthful.

.... and Schoonie... you have Daniele's whining dowm perfectly. The girl is NEVER happy... nooooottt eevvvvveerrr!!!

Anonymous:

This episode made me despise Danielle even more than ever. Watching Dick and Danielle's faces during the nomination ceremony, all I could think of was what incredible hypocrites they are.

It's okay if THEY nominate people with the excuse that it is "the game", but not for anyone to threaten THEM with eviction.

I'm now totally rooting for Zach...just because if either Dick or Danielle win, I might throw up.

abby:

your an idiot. dick and danielle rule the game and are f*ckin amazing. go to H*ll

Forgive my manners schoonie, I had tard business to handle.
Great recap even with CBS constantly reminding us of what happened in the long, long, ago and far, far, away, or 3 days ago.
Ah, the look of Evil on Dani's face is something to see isn't it? Atleast with Dick you know you'll need surgical gloves and antibiotics. With Dani, I'm not sure we've developed a weapon to destroy that yet.
I'll bet Nick's digging a bomb shelter back on the farm as we speak. After all "heee waasss my beeeessssttt friend in the hooouuusee". The boy has got to be skeerrd!

Thank you CherriesTake.

Although that is exactly the kind of response I expect from a Dick/Danielle Lover.

Me thinks she is possibly an illegitimate child of Dick.

Abby, take a chill pill...you DO realize it is show? Right?

Cheries Take,

Why do you think it is ok to make fun of retarded people? They are not rude enough to call people idiots and say such rude comments. You must be more mature than that.

juddfan:

cherie, go get 'em girl!!! I didn't see this episode, and I'm not sure I can bring myself to watch . . . o how I hope Jameka get's to taste God, I hope she wins POV, and I don't care who she sends packing, as long as it's one of them. Chances are, either her or Zach could win against either D. I really hope survivor doesn't suck it like this has, but here here Scoonie and Flip, how well you've handled this excersize of misery.

Do you think CBS will see this as a victorious season, and cast the next one for a repeat?

CheriesTake:

Forgive me tammy, I mean no offense to YOUR people. Although technically I am making fun of tard's not retarded people and anyone with a sense of humor understands the diff.
Now scroll back up to the top of the page and see where you are? This is a site where we all make fun of others, it's all in good fun and if you read abbys post that's not her intent. Now go put YOUR helmet on or YOUR sis and YOU'RE going to miss that bus.
And P.S.
I am NOT that mature or else I would be on a site other than this.

Chris:

Seriously, SERIOUSLY???
Did nobody recognize Danielle's striking resemblance to Miss Piggy when she was talking to Zach in the HOH?

Doppelganger!


Anyways, I'm a one-season watcher/reader, first time commenter, so I'll share my thoughts.

Most of favorites have been knocked out of the game, them being 1) Jen 2) Jameka and 3) Jessica. Now my only hopes lay on Jameka. I really liked the show, but it started to get less interesting around when Jen got out (obviously...she was the life of the show). But I guess as long as I have Jameka on the show, I'm good.

I'll probably have more to say for later episodes.

dacnova:

Again, I have to ask why the Donato bashing? I don't like them any more than Chill Town, but THEY PLAYED THE GAME!

If Zach and/or Jameka can get one of the D's evicted on Tuesday, I'll be the first to cheer. But if the D's evict Jamkea, I won't be upset. Ever since Will, I haven't allowed myself to get emotionally connected to any player. And to see Nice Guys like Zach and Jameka make it to the final four is HUGE.

I'm not a Jameka or Zach fan. I loved Jameka the early weeks, until she came out as "christian" but then she convinced me she's a moderate christian, not a rightiie. Zach was under everyone's radar, other than the Mrs. Robinson alliance and he should be commended for surviving THAT fiasco.

It's a GAME people. And it's a lot more fun when you (ie., me) don't focus on favorites and just watch it. If any of the Final Four win, I'll be fine. Because after more than two months, I'm just enjoying the game. I don't have an emotional connection to any player.

As a gay man, I wanted to like Dustin and I hated Joe. I was more than happy Dustin went to the jury instad of going home.

As many whiners in the house have to hear over and over, IT'S A GAME. I've watched the Redskins lose for over a decade. I'll watch BB again next summer.

I don't really understand your point, Dacnova. You're annoyed that we aren't all just dispassionately watching the show -- and you suggest that we shouldn't really root for anyone, we should just sit back and watch ... what? the action? intellectual stimulation?

No offense, but most people aren't like that.
When I watch a sports game, I root for my favorite team & against the other team. When I watch Star Wars, I root against Darth Vader. When I watch the history channel, I root against Hitler. When I watch BB8, I root against the Donatos.

I mean -- why are you watching the Redskins all these years? Aren't you, I don't know, rooting for them? Wouldn't you prefer that they win? When the opposing team scores a touchdown against them, are you like all "oh, jolly ho -- good show"?

"The Donatos played the game." What does this mean? Everybody "played the game." The Donatos suck. Is it valid gameplay the way they treated people? the way they treated Jen? (Is our ultimate goal here to have BB turn into full metal jacket?) Yes, let's listen in, shall we, on Daniele and her father as they discuss what to do about the shocking disloyalty of the Zach. What "gamesmanship" will our heroes use (that I can dispassionately admire): why, of course, let's hide his water and gloves right before the competition; let's crush or pretend to crush the shell memento from his ex-girlfriend right before the competition; let's spit on him during the competition; let's mock him about the size of his penis (is that why she broke up w/ you?); let's accuse him, in front of Jameka, of using the "N" word; let's tell him that Nick was going to evict him next. Dani -- says, gee, maybe we can make up some stories about him being a panty munching pervert and he'll get fired from his job. *Bonus!* says Dani, let's not only beat him, let's try to affect his life!

They suck. They'll probably win, but that's OK. We (the Donato haters) will get over it. They'll still be the sucky people they've always been, with or without $500K. As a wise woman said last year, the penalty for spiritual emptiness is spiritual emptiness, not poverty.

The Donatos are good at competitions; I'll grant you that. I won't grant you that they are good at the game. But for AP, they would both be out by now. And they would have deserved it.

That said, deep down, we all know it's just another cheesy reality show. :)

If by "playing the game" you mean threatening to rape people, or coasting along on your father's reign of terror, then yeah, sure.

I hate Dick and Daniele. She is horrible. He is horrible squared. They are both so self-centered, they think other people are self-centered because they don't pay enough attention to Dick and Daniele. I want them to be completely humiliated and LOSE LOSE LOSE.

I will not get my wish.

PS: Don't sully the name of Chill Town by comparing them to the &^%$%@ Donatos. Chill Town knew exactly what they were, and what they were doing. The Donatos actually believe their own bullsh*t. HATE.

cajah:

Dr. Will won with charm. Boogie won with smarm. They never threatened or browbeat anyone. They did it with style & finess and a love of the silliness of the game.

Donatos win with pure malice? With borderline assault? That's what upsets everyone.

P.S. Legal definitions: Battery means contact. Assault means threatening harm to the point of jenuine fear on the part of the victim. Course, Jameka & Jen would've beat the sh*t out of Dick if he had kept it up.

jennyp:

I don’t really see the point of debating anyone commenting on this show, but go to town if you feel so passionately about it. Everyone will adopt someone who represents something to them and what they personally think is ok. Sure, Dick and Daniele played the game. They played it according to their own standards of fair play and "strategy" and it worked, as they are the final players standing. I would not have played that way, personally, as I feel it was waaayyy too over the top and kind of vile. To each his own, though. The other HGs allowed them to continue along this path from the beginning, BB sure allowed it, and so they flourished. Peh. Whatever. I prefer the dork of Zach. Something tells me he has a hard time of it "on the outside" so whatever got him to that point (luck or strategy or the Ds using him), I don't care. I want him to win. I feel for him even if I don't think he was the best player. He still got there and I always root for anyone who seems like an outsider because that is where my personal sympathies lie at this age. Will I freak out if the Ds win it? No. They did not play how I would have played but it was sanctioned by everyone else involved and so they deserve it even if it goes against my personal standards of play and I don't care for them as people. This game is now more Lord of the Flies than it used to be and is not as innocent, but this kind of drama makes discussion/ratings and, with everyone seeing what it takes to win, it will get worse over time I am willing to bet!

shollia:

I havn't been watching the feeds or the show.
As soon as Zach made the biggest freaking mistake last week by not using the veto.... that was it for me.
I'll still get updates, but I'm so through with this season until the final show... and even then I'll only watch to see who wins and for the aftermath.

D&D are so self-righteous it's not even funny. Actually, no, it's hilarious how delusional they are.
How funny is it that they get upset at other people and start with their threatening whining BS when they realize other people are playing the game!
UGH I can't freaking stand them and I hate BB/CBS for casting them and keeping them in the damn game.

I liked Chill Town. But I despise D & D.
Did anyone else catch Dr Will on Dr 90210 a few weeks back? He was injecting Botox into a bartender's armpits...

lickitysplit:

"Zach lays on the bed, thinking about tearing up his Official Donato Family Membership Card. But he already knows the secret handshake!"

Hilarious.

I was SO SAD when Zach was talking about how he spent weeks alone because no one wanted to talk to him. I also felt like I was in the movie "Meatballs" all through the show. Nominations? It just doesn't matter!

Go Zach!

talma63:

Wait, # 40, wait. BOTOX in his ARMPITS? Does that keep him from sweating or what. That's so wrong, man.

bella16:

I can't imagine anyone voting for Dick to win the way he treated people. Yeah it's just a game, but you can't treat people the way dick did and expect to have friends. The only way the Dick's treated anyone good is when they needed to use them for something. Daaaaddddy, Thisss Suucckks. We should have kept Amber. Did you see how she threw the board down when she realized Zach beat her? I bet her boyfriend she left back home will be kicking her to the curb. You can have her Nick.

Amythyst [TypeKey Profile Page]:

talma63, yes it was to keep him from sweating. Supposedly this bartender had to change his shirt like 4 times a night cause of sweaty pits. And he felt the hot girls wouldn't be attracted to him with all that armpit stench. (duh) Supposed to last like 8 months I think - no sweat. Now would anyone here let Dr Will near their armpit with a needle??

Schoonie:

Geez people, NO SPOILERS IN THE COMMENTS, yet again. Go to the forums to talk about tonight's HOH competition. We're almost done here and then we can all go have fun with other shows, so let's play nice.
