Now, although it is perfectly acceptable for Scott and Jase to hug each other, pump fists, clap, and such if one of the Horsemen is able to wipe their own ass without incident, such behavior is prohibited for the rest of the house. Jase decides to confront Diane about the celebration and Holly complains about not getting a pity hug from her. While holding back laughter, Diane mutters something vague about teams in the house. Jase hears team and asks Diane about her alliance. Diane says nothing other than it is fairly obvious there are different sides of the house. Jase and Holly decide to call out Diane in front of her alliance members, and one of the greatest confrontations of the year breaks out. With a great sense of accomplishment, Jase is proud that he has exposed the alliance tells Diane how much trouble it's going to be for them now that they know.
This is where my cognitive dissonance comes to an end and I must wonder what the heck is going on in the house. Will seems particularly upset that Diane has let the cat out of the bag. I start to worry about the viability of Will and have concern over his longevity in the house. Again, I receive an edited version of the events each week from CBS. I don't have the live feed, so I can't comment on how much goes on for 99% of the time in the house, but the divisions have been abundantly clear. You have the Horsemen plus one or two, and everybody else. It's amazing to me that Will, Karen, Diane, Nakomis, and Adria may not understand that their first priority should be breaking up the Horsemen. None of these people have to be friends or have a particular tight alliance that takes everybody forward. In fact, I believe as soon as Scott or Jase leave, the house becomes more fluid and many more people fend for themselves. Again, I suspect many believe that they have a better chance by playing not to piss of the strongest players in the house. Bravo! I applaud all of those idiots in their quest for seventh place on Big Brother 5.
Nakomis obviously uses the veto on herself and Drew nominates Adria in her place, solidifying his status among some of the most spineless characters on reality television this year (only Dennis from the Amazing Race could be considered worse). Conventional wisdom says that Scott, Jase, Michael, and Marvin will vote to keep Holly and Karen, Will, Nakomis, and Diane will vote to keep Adria, leaving a tiebreaker vote for Drew. Drew is really perfectly safe with either choice. Vote for Adria to go and the Horsemen seemingly solidify his status in the group despite his mental lapse. Vote for Holly to go, and everybody else is happy, and Drew has an advantage should the Horsemen ever lose their dominance.
And we can't forget the plight of Adria and Natalie. They still need two weeks in the house to secure a spot for both of them in the house. Obviously losing Adria this week would be a huge blow to those prospects. Yet, if you listened to the Big Brother promo during the Amazing Race, the announcer stated that, if Adria was voted out, her twin sister would enter. Some may cry foul, and I do believe that the producers always had this trump card should Adria fail to make it tot he fifth week. Nakomis and Michael have shown little intrigue in the first project DNA twist, so there is little reason to believe the producers would simply retire the other twin without some interesting way of introducing the twist to the houseguests. They only said that if Adria made it five weeks, both sisters would be in. They never mentioned what would happen if Adria left the house. By placing Natalie in the house if Adria leaves, you would think that she would be at a disadvantage. However, with the animosity Scott and Jase have already created, she would likely be welcomed in with whoever was looking for a numbers advantage. This Thursday will be a very exciting eviction, to say the least.
