Minority Retort - 
by B-Side
Jase may have left the house, but his essence sure didn't. According to Nakomis in her interview with Julie Chen, Jase peed on lots of stuff, which would therefore explain the generally pissy mood people were in on last night's episode of Big Brother. This wasn't a surprise, of course. Will, Karen, and Nakomis have made an Olympic sport out of huddling in a corner and rolling their eyes. Adria and Natalie became Public Enemy number one, especially in Marvin's book, and just about the only people to emerge from this bitchfest unscathed were Diane, Drew, and Cowboy, who all seemed to be blissfully adrift with concerns of love, body hair, or freak dancing.
For Adria's sake, she was stuck in the unenviable position of having to cast the first stone against the anti-Jase tribe, a weak union of little alliances whose cohesiveness has faded with its raison d'ĂȘtre. Strategically, it was smart to smoke out the Karen/Will/Nakomis trio, but unfortunately Adria forgot to put on her kid gloves while doing it. The threesome were incensed not only that Adria nominated Will, but the way she had done it also. Oh, the way! The way! How insensitive! Karen spent the entire episode bemoaning the lack of communication, although I wonder if she communicated to Adria that she wasn't part of the Cloud Room Cohorts.
I suppose I shouldn't be too shocked (actually, I wasn't shocked at all). After six weeks of testosterone-fueled machismo television, it was inevitable that Big Brother would flip a bitch and make female cattiness and passive aggression its cornerstone. Instead of Scott scratching his balls, we now have quips and empty phrases such as "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed" or "It's not the nomination, it's the way she nominated". When Adria asked Will if he wanted something to eat, he responded tersely "Suddenly, I've lost my appetite." Meow! Actually, Will got bonus points for apologizing for his passive-aggression, a reality rarity.
Adria should have paid a little more attention to the reigning post-Horsemen sensitivity in the house by being honest, or at least pseudo-honest. When Will asked her why the hell she had put him up, she babbled on about how his name came up in her prayers and he's just a pawn and everyone loves him and, oh yeah, someone in your alliance backstabbed you and told me to put you up. Will didn't believe it and called an emergency meeting with his gals. First order of business: angry glances, crossed arms, and general Adria bashing.
Of course, Diane added some guilty gulping to the situation - for those of you not keeping track at home, it was Diane who had targeted Will with Adria. The notion that she might be a turncoat didn't even cross the minds of the alliance which apparently thought it could have a friendly six person tie at the finish line.
When Diane wasn't pretending to be BFF with Will, Karen, and Nakomis, she was spending time cuddling and smooching with Drew. CBS provided us with an endless montage of the two sneaking stolen kisses and possible handjobs. Diane blabbed about how some psychic told her she'd meet the man of her dreams, and he'd have dark hair, dark eyes, and olive skin. Apparently the psychic also said the guy would have two arms, two legs, a penis, and the general physical makeup of a human. It's destiny!
