Big Brother: How Do You Choose Between a Douchebag and a Racist?

Previously on Big Brother, Natalie finally got her backrub from Matt which consisted of him rubbing a wooden block on her back while he dry heaved.

Aren't they adorable?

After last episode's surprise switcheroo where James removed Sheila from the block, Matt approaches James for an explanation as to why James felt compelled to treat him like the star of Backdoor Sluts 9. James tells Matt that it's simply because Matt and Natalie are too strong of an alliance and need to be split up, choosing not to reveal his real reason: that Matt looked him straight in the eye, with his good eye, and lied about voting him back in the house. Matt reminds James that Natalie is playing with him, mostly in his sleep, and Matt couldn't care less about Natalie.

Matt tells James that he feels like he's failing his mother, his poor, sweet, grey-haired dying mother, since he promised that he would win for her so he could help pay for her new.....uh....kidney. That's it, that's the ticket. James gives no response so Matt whips up a few tears, again from his good eye. James offers to give Matt a hug but Matt declines since James dropped his pants and took a hit of poppers before the offer.

Both Matt and Natalie are inconsolable and weepy. Matt realizes that he probably doesn't have the votes to stay in the house and Natalie is angry because if anybody is going to screw Matt it's going to be her. Natalie takes this opportunity to cling to Matt like he's a floating headboard beside the sinking Titanic. Matt doesn't feel like suffering the fool and tells Natalie that he wants to pull a Greta Garbo and be alone. Matt comments that he must look like a little bitch crying on camera and I can confirm that yes, indeed he does.

Boys do cry! And it's beautiful!

Ryan's down-low partner Josh tells Ryan that he has his vote to stay in the house. Sheila also tells Ryan that he has her vote. She goes on to say that she has decided and once she makes a decision it's decisioned and that's that. There's no going back. Nothing in the world can change her mind.

Matt comes crying to Moose about his slim chances of staying in the house and Moose gets fired up and googley eyed telling Matt that he needs to fight. Moose tells Matt that anything is possible if he puts his mind to it like the time Moose wanted to get a job working with 'tards. He put his mind to it and it happened and nothing can change that. Matt feels impassioned by Moose's ire and decides to start campaigning to stay even if he has to rely on his innate charm and sympathy from the ladies.

Matt later comes to Chelsia and asks what he has to do to get her vote. He tells her that if he is sent out of the house he will be spending his birthday alone in the sequester house and he has never spent a birthday alone, other than the time his dad dropped him off on a highway overpass when he was 5. Matt then gives the same speech to Sharon, basically begging and laying on what the Bostonians consider charm. He asks Sheila for her vote and says he'll do anything for her, including that "hide the grape" game she plays with her pet rooster. All of the ladies are noncommittal and later confess that they can see right through his greasy douchebag "charm." Matt doesn't get why nobody is promising him a vote since he's always been able to get chicks to do what he wants by flashing a smile and promising them a ride in his Camaro.

That question assumes a lot.

Matt comes up to the girls in the back yard and starts in with the begging again but Chelsia tells him to give it a rest. She says she's busy and doesn't have time to listen to him as she's lying in the hammock. Matt reminds them that he has never crossed any of them and doesn't understand why everybody wants him gone. He recounts all the horrible things that Ryan has done (taking Sheila's money in the Veto game, yelling at Chelsia and going back on his word and putting Sharon on the block). Sheila begins to wonder why she wanted to keep Ryan and if her prior decisioning was right.

pixi-stix:

Well at least with Moose winning HoH I will be able watch the next 3 episodes, just because I have no idea in hell as to what he is going to do. Seriously...can anyone read him?? I think it's because he just really has no thoughts whatsoever in his mind.

I love that the misogynist and the racist have an alliance. Sounds like the beginning of a sitcom Fox would produce.

dirty Sanchez:

I forgot how much I hate the Donatos and their never ending desire for affirmation. ED the name dropper and Dani the vapid, self-absorbed whore. I guess now that Evil bought her a car and took her to Europe she can hug him without making a face like she's embracing a big steaming bag of dog shit.

Couldn't the producers have given Matty a skirt to wear while he was crying and being so melodramatic? I thought roofahs are tougher than that.

DG_2:

It is so hard to feel sorry for Matty when he is wearing sweat pant capris.

I'm thrilled that Dick will be back!! I loved Dani and liked Dick.

FYI...for those interested, Nick is supposedly dating Jen. They belong together.

Scarlet:

Ain't no supposedly to it, DG. The smoochy lovey-dovey pictures all over her fan site. I'd love to have heard the whiney resentment in Dani's voice when that went down.

You forgot the hilarious moment that Julie revealed that Alex was the "mystery houseguest". Natalie looked like her brain almost had an epiphany of just how stupid she had been but I think that kind of deep thinking hurt her head because she just got that little worry crinkle on her forehead, then smiled. I replayed it like eight times. Lord, thank you for inventing Tivo (and cubits).

weasel dearest:

As long as my sweetpea Ryan is safe --- that's all I care about. Oh, and I care about my boy Josh too.

You know I really can't say a bad thing about Moose. It'll be interesting to see if Sheila has any pull with him.

A friend of mine thinks Natalie will ask the houseguests to vote her out so she can go into sequester with Matty.

juddfan:

I agree w/ your friend, weasel, and also Ryan, what is it about those cantalope calves that gets me every time!

Nat is quickly claiming my tiara as most desperate person evah!

Thanks for the recap!

talma63:

Well, I can see I wasn't the only one that just caught the "highlights" last night. Boring, boring show.

Dammit, dirty Sanchez, you said what I wanted to say, even down to the "roofahs" thing. This twerp Matty" thinks he talks a good game, but he's a L-O-S-A-H. Y'know, whoever thinks Natalie may just get herself out of the game to be alone with Matt probably has a good rumor, but I doubt that the two braincells carrening around in Nat's head can ever get together to formulate such an evil plot.

talma63:

And I meant to type "careening".
