Tonight, on Big Brother, Julie Chen is hilarious and Ronnie finally gets hit upside the head a few times.
Unfortunately, it's not with a baseball bat.
Everyone's favorite bot welcomes us to the show wearing a headdress. Seriously, how many impoverished Asian children's heads were shaved for her do? You guys! There's something big going on tonight!! I'm hoping for mandatory lobotomies. No? Damn. The cliques are over and done with. Meh. Who cares? I want some prods stuck in some frontal lobes. It's the only thing that can truly save the season. The bot is so excited about this shocking turn of events that a shoulder cord pops out of her skin.
So in case you forgot all the intense action that's gone down the past week, let's enjoy a five minute clip to remind you.
Oh yeah. And this.
Well, at least it's erect. It makes him look closer to his made up age.
Also, Jessie had a very, very serious meeting about strategy.
Finally. A banana that can talk back. Knock knock.
DJ Midlife Crisis is so sexy in that thing that other bananas start crawling out of the woodwork to try to get his number.
The Way You Look Tonight
Alright, real banana. This is verging on harassment.
Julez promises not only that the cliques twist is over, but that "a new power will be unleashed on the house." PLEASE let a psychopathic babybot shoot out of her and break through the front door.
No, couldn't be a babybot cuz it's not time yet. This not yet released power is something America has chosen. It will probably be the power to feed someone horseradish sauce and baby poopies for a week or some shit. You're not gonna pull one over on me, Chendra. In the meantime, let's see how DJ Midlife handles his "final ap-peel!" Wow, Chenbott and Costello all in one. I never see your comedy coming, but I relish it when it gets here. Right after Jessie's nomination soliloquy:
Cuz one of your boobies is kinda square.
Casey is so upset about the lack of houseguest outrage at his nomination that he has to let his ears take a breath.
Banana Ear Outrage Syndrome
Midlife is amazed that Ronnie pulled off tricking Jessie into letting him stay, cuz Jessie is a super complex guy and known for thinking things through very deeply. Ronnie is so happy with himself that he puts his arms up. Way to ask back those lost viewers, CBS. Please don't ever let this happen again.
Please. Please trim your armpit hair.
Watching Ronnie squeal and giggle and pat himself on the shoulder makes me kinda sick, but not as sick as the previous shot. The editors make it up to us quickly, though.
Uh oh, look who's smart now?
Jeff isn't happy about Casey's nomination because "we had everything set in stone, per se." LOL. Glasses? Don't help. Casey talks to Jordon outside about this being "the season of the dork," and thinks he and Laura are both out because they're not sheep. Old dudes who bleach their hair and wear urban stylings from the young adult section of Dillard's and chicks who completely massacre their bodies to be "pretty" aren't desperately trying to swim with the flow at all. DJ Midlife is so stressed that he lets his black youth accent get out of control and morph into a high Jamaican guy's. "Yeah, mon." LOL, Midlife.
Jeff comes out to join them. He can understand the nomination, but "what's up with the diss?" He's referring to Jessie's "move your feet, you gotta new seat" nugget of Jenius line. That wasn't a diss. He just wanted to show you that he could rhyme, which, as he's wearing a straw hat and giant plastic clown glasses, is the least he could do.
Jeff is pissed that Jessie is such a douchebag that he would wear giant sunglasses and make up a stupid zinger for a guy wearing a banana suit. HAHA. Midlife's like uhhhh...yeah, thanks. Later that night, Lydia skankily sneaks into the HOH suite. Jessie looks like he's totally ready to do anything that walks in that door, unfortunately for him.
Lydia crawls into bed with Jessie and stares at him while he sleeps. She likes to watch him move and stuff. "Maybe Jessie dreams of baby unicorns." I can guarantee you if he wakes up right now and sees you glaring at him like you're a leak and he's a tube of caulk, he will never ever think of baby unicorns while sleeping again.

Flipit you are a gift fom God! Sooo funny. I was rolling about Ronnie shopping online at Gadzooks because he'd get beaten at the mall. Glad you mentioned that very odd PSA and Jeff's parents incredibly tacky 1960's panelling, with the leather couches all that was missing was a faux stained-glass tulip swag lamp. Did anyone else spot the audience nerd in the striped shirt, happy clapping? You are my fave Flip, keep it up!

Great recap Flipit! This one was great even for you.
The one thing worth correcting was that Natalie told Casey she was 24, not Lydia.
Loved the catcher/kats photo caps!

if you want to point out where america's voting is fucked up, taylor hicks winning idol is more evidence rather than jordin sparks!
3 of 25 | Posted by slutty_whore | Posted on July 31, 2009 5:41 AM
Yeah, I have to agree: Taylor Hicks was way worse. It cracked me up last year to see he was touring in Rhode Island with a company performing Grease…and he only had a small part, because he’s too ugly to play Danny or Kenickie.
Here's what I wish TPTB would change: The person who wins POV, should they choose to use that power, should also get to pick the replacement nominee. This would shut down the practice of a planned back-dooring...which has ceased to be fun, since most contestants have figured the process out. And most people would fight harder to win POV.
I thought Casey’s speech was funny…desperate, but funny. But I think Jessie was more concerned about the swipe at his wardrobe than about being accused of backstabbing someone.
Lydia sure is missing her hair colorist about now…
I don’t think I can dislike Ronnie any more than I already do…and then he speaks and my disdain increases. Why did they even cast this idiot?
Surprisingly, Michelle seems to have personality. She should let it out more often.
It’s both sad and hilarious the house is filled with people too passive aggressive and/or cowardly to answer direct questions. (Unlike Ronnie, I’ll name names…Lydia, Natalie, Jessie, and Ronnie for starters.)
Great recap, as usual…but the line of the week is “He just made Days of Our Lives eyebrow.”

Oooh, Flipit, you rock.
"There's something big going on tonight!! I'm hoping for mandatory lobotomies."
I was hoping for mandatory sterilization, myself. Especially after the cutesy showmance capsule of Jordan and Jeff being so cute. Ugh.
Does anyone else Jeff looks like Adam Lambert in his flashback? He was a Greaser? Is he older than Casey or does he have a crush on John Travolta? Because I cannot remember anytime in the last 20 years where that much hair grease was "popular".
"Lydia has shown up looking much less crazy than usual. Just kidding. She looks like she just got electrocuted during aerobics class in 1984."
Or the producers rewatched her stalking of Jessie and used shock therapy on her.
"Happy birthday, dad!" OK, let me get this straight. Jessie was just gentle, charming, and dimply. And he only messed up one word! He even used "I plead the fifth" correctly! WTH?"
Yeah, that was cute. Damn BB for making me like Jessie!

Actually, I think Casey DID get the last word in on Natalie. He had the best line of the night, IMO:
"....ain't nobody talkin' to you. Go make Jessie a sandwich!"
super-burn!!

WHAT A GREAT RECEP!!!! Too funny Flipit. Ronnie + moobs =Awesomeness!! I want to see pics of Lydia and Jessie's "tent."
7 of 25 | Posted by plockeness monster | Posted on July 31, 2009 8:58 AM
Funny now - "I hope it's kats." LOLOLOLOLOL!!!
Funny in the future - hearing Jordan trying to say "Coup D'etat".
Im cracking up already!
Great recap, Flipit!

What a fabulous recap for a GREAT Thursday ep! But you didn't mention my favorite part: Chenbot saying to Jessie, "LAME!"
I totally agree with cattyfan.. just when I think I can't hate Ronnie any more, they show him in the DR. Ugh, he's so desparate to make sure everyone knows just how awesome he is. I can't wait for him to be out.
I loved the fact that Chenbot actually wore a maternity outfit. Be proud of that Chenbump!

Really, are we watching the same show? Casey's parting remark to Nat "Ain't no one talking to you, go make Jesse a sandwich" was the BEST part about the show! She was just yapping, yapping, yapping and not making any sense. How in the world you think she "won" that...he managed to get her completely worked up right before the competition...loved it!
I love Casey! Yah, he acts younger than his age but I attribute that to him being a 5th grade teacher. I LOVED his exit interview with Julie this morning, and I liked how he took ownership of his mistakes in the house. Yah, he's bitter, of course, who wouldn't be. He had a week 1 deal with Jessie and trusted that it was still in tact. Note to all future BB players: DON'T EVER TRUST ANYONE!
And calling out Jessie while Jessie didn't say a word and was just turning bright red = PRICELESS!
I'm sad Casey is gone, but I'm hoping that the game will finally flip around and we will be saying bye bye to SheMan Ronnie next week *crosses fingers*

I loved this episode SO much! The Chenbot was incredibly forward last night, must be the hormones. Do robots have hormones?
When they cut to Jessie's wide-eyed expression when Julie wouldn't stop pestering Lydia about the bed situation, that was the most hilarious moment of the night.
This was the best recap of BB11 so far!! Hilarious, Flipit!
Does anyone else notice all the similarities between this season and S7 so far?
One alliance in control for the first three (possibly more) weeks, Casey getting backdoored a'la Jace, the coup d'etat. Oui oui.
I really do love the "simple" lovebirds. Can't help it!

Thanks for such a great recap. The screen caps were a total riot! I heart you Flip.
I DVR'd the show and watched it w/the volume down - the kids were sleeping so I couldn't hear Casey's great burn on Natalie. She does yap and yap and yap. Can't wait to see her go. Yuck!
I hope the TPTB rigged up the "mystery power" so that "America" gives it to someone that will actually use it. When TPTB tried to put the Coup D'etat into play in season 7, Boogie just held on to it and didn't use it if I am correct.
12 of 25 | Posted by bbjunkie | Posted on July 31, 2009 12:46 PM
Natalie was buggin the crap out of me, the way she kept talking over everyone, even Julie. SHUT UP!
Otherwise enjoyable episode. Loved Chenbot's use of "lame", wondered when it was uploaded.

"Really, are we watching the same show?"
NO!! i didn't even hear that, and that line is hilarious. sorry bout that, but i think when the yapping kept going i checked out a little bit. it's a self defense mechanism.
thanks for reading you guys!
14 of 25 | Posted by flipit | Posted on July 31, 2009 1:19 PM
Casey-5th grade teacher-
who said 'Ain't nobody talkin to you.'
Let me repeat-he is a 5th grade teacher!
Also-didn't Jessie say he was having a 'Platonic' relationship with Lydia?
Is he speaking of the sort that involves the Platonic as in Plato?
He certainly couldn't mean
that carnal activities aren't involved. They are!
15 of 25 | Posted by hoxharding | Posted on July 31, 2009 1:52 PM
Flip it, I never thought of you as a luster for the athlete cliche . . . hmmm . . .
great recap, even w/out watching. I hate Ronnie with y'all, even without watching.
I'm sorry, but the saying you're 18 instead of 24, then pulling that out at the goodbye vid--talk about LAME!!!!!
xoxoxo

I can't stand Ratalie. I think I dislike her as much as Ronnie--at least he has a sense of humor. She is so self-important and you can tell she thinks SHE is in charge. The way she talked to Michelle when the latter came to the HOH room to talk with Jessie. He just sat there and Ratalie said, "Will you promise not to put US up?" I hope she gets her comeuppance, hopefully at Jessie's hands. If I were him, I would have squashed her like a bug by now.
17 of 25 | Posted by pixielated | Posted on July 31, 2009 2:49 PM
Ah, there are so many people to dislike this season, it's difficult to know where to start.
I'm really looking forward to seeing both Ronnie and Jessie deflated.
And I sincerely hope the producers have rigged this next 'America's Vote' to make sure someone interesting (i.e., Jeff, Jordan, possibly Michelle) gets the power.
And I agree twice with Cattyfan -- the POV should come with the right to name the replacement. And Ronnie is one of the worst reality show contestants ever.

This recap is why you are the KING!! I couldn't stop laughing....
19 of 25 | Posted by chooch850 | Posted on July 31, 2009 5:38 PM
Flipit - great recap!
Loved the 'cap from the PSA, but when I get my prostate examined, both eyes are 1/2 closed and a strange moaning ensues. Hmmm, I wonder why?
LOVED the DOOL Eyebrow. I would SO love to be able to do that!
Doltlets=HILARITY! Where did you come up with that one? Although, I must admit, dorkapotomus was a gem too - props to the creator.
Glad you watch this POS and recap it so we don't have to (although I do see some here and there as the BF has becomed enamored by this show).
All the best to you! Thanks for doing such a great job! xoxo

I'm on vacation again so I'm a little late getting to this.
First, in the future if you're going to run a bare-chested photo of Russell please make sure that text isn't covering his nipples. Thank you.
Second, I'm still in Ronnie's corner and Russell's corner.
Third, I'm guessing Jessie, Russell or Ronnie will get the "special power" cause none of the other HGs have enough personality to garner votes.
21 of 25 | Posted by Mr Dangerous | Posted on August 2, 2009 9:41 AM
Checked the CBS website Friday, and there was a message saying all the initial votes for the special power had been thrown out because of a technical difficulty, but there was no place to re-vote. So I wonder how TPTB will determine (fake) the outcome.
22 of 25 | Posted by cattyfan | Posted on August 2, 2009 3:19 PM
To clarify, there is a place to vote NOW, but votes in the first 24 hours after Thursday's broadcast didn't count, and people trying to vote Friday into early Saturday couldn't.
23 of 25 | Posted by cattyfan | Posted on August 2, 2009 3:23 PM
Oh dear god help me. I can't stop laughing, I peed my pants, and I have tears streaming down my face. Flipit, I haven't gotten past the Banana Ear Outrage Syndrome and I'm already like this. How can I get through the rest? First, I'm going potty.....
24 of 25 | Posted by pollyanna di | Posted on August 3, 2009 9:38 PM
Jessie probably thinks it's a "Plutonic" relationship, one of which has something to do with Disney.
