Chenbot Experiences Technical Difficulties - 
by B-Side
Heading into tonight's episode of Big Brother, we all pretty much knew what would happen. Adria would bully people around, CBS would try to misdirect us into thinking she'd have a shot at staying in the house, and then the roommates would vote her out unanimously. Yawn. Oh, but this ain't no Bunim/Murray production. With firecrackers like Adria and Marvin hanging around and malfunctioning robots like Julie Chen ready to wreak havoc, we should have known that tonight's episode would be full of bizzaro fights, schemes, and facial expressions - mostly on live TV. And honestly, isn't that what we really want out of life?
Where to begin? I suppose we can start with Marvin who won the award for most devious scheme of the week. This crafty guy decided to rot the Drew/Diane alliance from the inside out. No, he didn't start a rumor that Diane hates American Eagle. Even worse. Marvin made a pass at Diane. Well, not a pass, but a little kiss on the forehead. Of course, this was carefully executed in the presence of Cowboy, who's about as observant as a toddler with a blindfold on. It didn't take long for Michael to report back to Drew that Diane kissed Marvin. To the amusement of all viewers, Michael made it sound like the two swapped spit for about twenty minutes by the bathtub - former romantic stomping grounds for Scott and Jase. Note to self: one Michael is the equivalent of twelve kids in the game of Telephone.
Upon hearing of his honey's cheatin' ways, Drew promptly cut the ripcord and send Diane packing (mixed metaphors, I know). In a tense showdown which was nicely augmented by Big Brother's best selection of "DUNH DUNH DUNH!!!!" music, Diane sat speechless as Drew stonefaced dumped her ass. Around this time, we all were praising Marvin for one of the best reality schemes ever - that is until Drew let out his inner Ashton Kutcher and revealed that he had Punk'd Diane. Who would have thought that Drew would pull of such a fantastic bit of misdirection? It sort of put a damper on the Marvin adulations though. Even so, maybe Marvin's scheme wasn't that effective off the getgo, but I have faith it may lead to a Drew/Diane meltdown. I just don't know why Diane's first response to Drew's interrogation wasn't "Dude, me and Marvin?" That should have been enough for Drew to realize that no woman could intervene in Marvin's ongoing love affair with his stupid cigarette holder.
When Marvin wasn't honing his inner Iago, he and the rest of the household were diligently avoiding Adria, who had been sweetly dubbed "The Plague". The only person who couldn't avoid The Plague was Karen, who managed to get cornered at every instance by Adria. I personally think Karen should run for public office; she managed to come up with some of the most creative ways to be noncommittal. If Adria had asked "Are you going to bed now?", Karen would have replied "I don't know. I really can't think that far ahead. I sort of have to look after myself. But who knows? Maybe I will go to bed."
