Admit it. You saw that CBS was going to promote "Project DNA" this year on Big Brother, and you probably let out an audible groan. Why must the producers continue to push these gimmicks and twists on the show? It's not like the obsessive Big Brother fan needs anything extra to feed their already copious conspiracy theories on the secret hidden agenda they want to believe the producers have. I completely understand how people feel, it seems as if the punny name is created before the twist is created. Although Project DNA may have seemed stupid going in, I have to admit it has been pretty effective. We were on our seats until Natalie finally came into the house. Once in, Natalie and Adria enjoyed about as much love as Boss Hogg and Roscoe P. Coltrane chasing the General Lee. People were so intent on getting them out, they forgot that they also have to try and make it farther into the game themselves. When the dust settled from that, everybody realized that the other two siblings in the house were still in the house. We've come a long way baby.
I have to take a little pause here and talk about Julie Chen. Julie, Julie, Julie, we have panned you so often this year about your strange choice of clothing. Then came September 14, 2004. While I have given up hope that we will ever see the camel toe very prominently this year, I knew I should be looking for a surprise. Like The Carpenters said - baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby. At first sight, Julie's outfit seemed like an unusual combination, but not completely out there. She said sassy with her black leather skirt, and said sporty with her black ringer t-shirt she pulled on top of that. But oh, that shirt. You would think that celebrities would have stopped wearing material that was thin, stretchy, and black, especially under the intense light, especially after what happened to Alexandra Kerry. Julie's shirt was transparent and her boobs, while not huge, were making their best effort to bust out of their encasement and become free to the world. Only a demi-cup kept us from the sight Les Moonves normally calls his own. Trust me, the picture we link does not do her justice.
When CBS didn't have our dear host on display, we were treated to a house that has become very interesting indeed when it comes to who is left. I mean, of course, the sequester house. I know that we had to get through a veto, an eviction and part of an HoH competition, but we want more sequester house! In case you are just tuning in at home, Will is still complaining about how much he hated the twins. I guess I could cut him some slack because, unlike Marvin, he did nothing to get either of the twins evicted. He can also make a legitimate claim, unlike Marvin, that the twins were the reason he was evicted from the house. I think Will should get over it, but at least he has some beef with them. Marvin helped to get the twins out of the house, and was promptly chucked two days later. Karen's entrance was a surprise to a lot of people there, and she was still talking about the backdoor, which leads me to believe she secretly likes it. For good measure, Marvin aslo hates Karen now. It's sad because Marvin probably thinks he is going to sign some huge deal and doesn't have to care about the little people anymore. Good thing Marvin wasn't around while the houseguests were throwing away bad fashion items, because he would have no clothes left. For what it's worth, Karen probably has the best comeback of anybody - she draws a very unflattering likeness, and you know it could soon be immortalized in velvet.

I hope Karen puts those drawings up for auction when she gets out. Because I bet she could make some good money on them.

'YEE-HAW! I'M BULL-RIDIN'! I'M BULL-RIDIN'! YEE-HAW!'
(Uh, no, Michael, it's just Arnold Shapiro stealing the concept from the Grimace-shake cage in a late '70s-era McDonald's playground.)
Couldn't believe Nakomis melted down like that. According to people who watch the live feeds, the teary breakdown was quite prolonged and included many profane epithets hurled at Arnold Shapiro and co., along with the 'internet freaks' who watch the BB5 house like Kabbalists trying to discern the name of God from the arrangement of Ikea close-out furniture.
Screw the BB5 house, give us a season of 'Jury House 5: Project NMTBIHTB(Never Mind the Beaches, I Hate These Bitches).

Is it just me or did Julie Chen say "Cool Beans" while interviewing Nakomis?!? That Julie is one crazy lady.

I love the Julie quote, although it definitely loses a lot without seeing her passive aggressive facial expression.
Diane did to Cowboy what Nakomis and Karen should have done to Diane: make her feel inner circle. By reaffirming his position with her, Diane made gullible Cowboy feel secure. Of course, we all want her to win HoH because that will be the ultimate decision. Nakomis could have saved herself if she didn't rely on the sister card and just spoke plain strategy. She seemed to be on the right track but alas, no end game.

I believe Julie did say "Cool Beans" but I think it was kind of like mocking Nakomis (or in honor of her?).

Definetly in honor. You know Julie idolizes Nakomis's free-spiritness.
