First up is Jase. We already know he’s an idiot. Crafty, yes, but an idiot all the same. Tonight’s daring feat of dunderheadedness once again stemmed from the lame fashion choices he thinks will get him into Brad Pitt’s inner circle (and yes, that was double-entendre intended). Jase baffled fashion pundits everywhere by donning a single dish glove during the veto competition. Little, yellow, different, not better. The look was bizarre and decidedly untrendy, even by Big Brother standards. I couldn’t help thinking Jase looked like 1986 Michael Jackson crossed with Mr. Clean. What do I know though? Maybe dishwasher chic is the new Derelicte. Either way, I think Will said it best when he noted that Jase is “about as erotic as a wet t-shirt contest at a nursing home.”
I thought this would surely be the sartorial nadir of the episode, but Jase still had a few cards up his sleeveless T. At the veto ceremony, to accentuate his unabashed gloating, Jase slipped into some of Will’s mismatched clothes and paraded around in some glaring ensemble that was one part SS soldier, another part gay leprechaun. He also worked his hair into a funky Beelzebub ‘do with little horns sticking out the side. I guess it was an homage to his devil rep, but I don’t seem to remember Satan having purdy blonde highlights. Truth is he looked more like the lost member of Flock of Seagulls than anything else. Jase, you are an idiot.
Wow, is that Ed Grimley?
Nominee number two is Scott, who started off the episode declaring that everyone in the house genuinely likes him. So I guess the general disgust and revulsion people have for him is just an act. Scott actually believes that when he goes up for eviction on Thursday, he’ll beat Marvin. I’m not saying that couldn’t happen, but Scott believes he’ll win based on popularity. I’ll tell you one thing, he won’t win based on looks. His hair became the object of ridicule from comedian Marvin who noted that the flat-ironed mess looked like a “rooster’s ass”. So true, Marvin. Maybe he can write for TVgasm. Later, at the veto ceremony, Scott had his hair down in what was supposed to be an homage to the mentally challenged. I don’t think anyone was surprised at how easily Scott slipped into the role. Scott, you are an idiot.
Then there’s always loveable Michael – aka Cowboy. He’s not brazenly idiotic like his other Horsemen, Drew excluded. Cowboy is more old-fashion, simple mindedly dense. When the house guests had to paint piggy banks, Michael claimed his porcine artwork looked like him. Last time I looked, Cowboy, you weren’t fluorescent yellow with a red nose.
Hmmm… I thought I had more on Cowboy this week, but I don’t. So I’m going to take him out of the running, and based on my own scientific findings, I hereby declare Jase Idiot of the Week. You see, now I feel better.
Who do you think is the biggest idiot on Big Brother 5?

I too think Jase & Scott made complete and utter asses out of themselves this week. I was actually disgusted by their antics at the PoV ceremony; I'm still having a hard time comprehending two grown men thought that was cool and acceptable behavior-even for reality tv. Diane made two stupid moves in last nights episode, and I hope they dont bite her in the toosh-until later. I dont think I could stomach a week of the Whoresmens gloating if Marvin exits.

diane putting up marvin was not a mistake, folks. trust us. read the live feeds, you'll understand. things are going along as planned.
btw, upon further viewing, i now believe jase's dishwashing glove was in tribute to brad pitt in fight club.

Decoys rarely work. Occam's razor - the simplest solution is the best. In this, the year of Project Do Not Assume, don't make more assumptions about your opponents than absolutely necessary. The simplest and smartest play was to nominate Michael.

Jase and Scott tie for biggest idiot. If I did not dislike them so much, I would be embarassed for them. Why these 2 think they are such hot stuff is a mystery to me.

I thought they were funny at the Veto ceremony. It's about time someone lightened things up during these ceremonies. I'm tired of them having to explain the rules every friggin time they do something. WE KNOW how it works!
I think the biggest idiot is Diane. Anyone else notice that she always says the nicest things about Drew in and out of the Diary Room, but Drew NEVER Says the same type of stuff about her?
He is totally playing her!

I thought their get-ups at the PoV ceremony were an homage to Dumb and Dumber, which was fantastically fitting, if you ask me.

Biggest idiot = Scott. Cheesse people, cheesse! Then again, Jase and Holly probably had the combined IQ of the pivotal Cheese-it that was used in Scott's breathtaking analogy. The idiot a la semaine was probable Diane, but over all, Scott and Jase take the cake.

Can I just say how much I lurve your BB5 essays?
Arnold Shapiro said Diane made the worst mistake he's seen since Marcellas by not putting all her chips into Jase's piggy. Sadly, I think she agrees.
The best part about your Ed Grimley screen cap is that Jase's arm totally blocks Scott's face. Wait til Scott leaves (tomorrow I hope) and sees his coverage.
I agree about the glove and the Dumb and Dumber tribute.

Scott is outta there.
And if he's not, then everyone is an idiot.
