Previously on Big Brother: Dick was cool. Then he turned into a giant, grizzled freshman psychology major, pretending that he was the smartest one in the room while he waited for his RA to fall asleep so that he could sneak a case of Milwaukee's Best into his dorm room. Drinking is awesome and makes you feel like a grown up! Name dropping famous people does too!
The Chenbot is dressed for sorority rush tonight in a peach twin set and white pants. She's missing a necklace altogether, meaning that she has now abandoned the strategy of making her head look smaller by wearing a giant necklace forged by cavemen every week. It also means she's not wearing any pearls, though, which is going to piss off the Tri-Delts. Now she's not going to get in.

Julie Chen tells us that it's Day 27 for the Houseguests as she recounts Mike's idiotic rise to the nomination couch. Seriously, was that dumb, or what? Jen hilariously decides to save herself in black and white. I feel so bad about loving her. I keep typing "I'm sorry, you guys, but I love her" every time she does anything, and then I have to erase it, because I've already told you that her signature brand of dimwitted, straightforward shenanigans has stolen my heart. Well, that and the fact that she realizes how ridiculous all of this is, as illustrated by her conversation with herself last week. She's so good for the show. Love her!
Up in the HOH room after the Veto Ceremony, Dick and Nick settle on voting out Mike. They think he's a greater threat because Kail is such a mess. I'm not sure I'd agree with that. Kail sucks at competitions, but she's constantly gaming and trying to convince people of things, whereas Mike tends to hang out and eat sandwiches. I know Kail pretty much has no game, but why leave her in the house to stir shit up when you could leave Mike there, doing nothing?
Dick takes the plan to Jameka and Dustin, and they quickly agree to get rid of Mike. Jameka says it's because she feels threatened by him, but I sort of don't get that. Maybe it's something we haven't seen? On the hammock, Kail asks Jen if she is doomed or not. And who better to ask than the person who is largely hated by ninety percent of the house? You can tell that Jen really has her pulse on current affairs when she's not in the Big Brother house. Ask her about her stance on the Iraq war!
Mike tells us in confessional that he hopes that everyone saw what kind of person he was due to his actions at the Veto competition. Um, a stupid one? He tells us that he wanted to be viewed as "true and trustworthy" which is about the dumbest thing I've ever heard. These people are playing a game, they're not on the field of battle in Colonial Virginia. If you were playing Monopoly with a bunch of people, and one of your friends landed on Boardwalk, which had a hotel on it, would you pay the rent and bankrupt yourself for that person just because they're your friend? Because that's what Mike did here, and that's dumb. Watch out for your own ass, bro. It's not a morality play, you are not some character in A Streetcar Named Desire. It's Big Brother. Jebus.
Eric goes to get his America's Player directive, which is, unsurprisingly, to vote Kail out of the house. But Mike's BORING! Isn't that worse than being sort of an ignorant hag? I'd rather hang out with a bunch of assholes than a bunch of boring people. By the way, if any of my friends are reading this, I'd like to take a moment to say 'whatup'.

Finally, I could follow the blog!
Here's my take on this...Dustin MUST (if he's a smart player) nominate Danielle. Here's my theory: Danielle is protected by 2 people in the house- Nick and Dick (...thats soo weird how both names are the same). None of them will vote for her. Nick is "supposevely" in love with her and Dick is her dad. Nobody else in the house is protected by that much people. I hope he gets it right.
Jen had it right from the get-go. Both danielle and dick are negative cuz both of them are protected...by Nick! You don't nominate Danielle's dad without offending Danielle. You don't nominate Danielle without offending dick....THERE'S LOGIC BEHIND JEN!
As for the content of the show itself...wtf Danielle? Her boyfriend looks like a cutter. The most heartbreaking thing was that he called Danielle his soulmate!

This is going to get pretty boring if a houseguest gets eliminated each week by being backdoored like it has the last two weeks. I almost wish Dustin will win the Power of Vote this week so that his eviction nominees don't change.

Schoonie, great recap!
I'm inclined to disagree with you on whether Eric took a dive in the HOH. I think he did. Eric's a little odd, but probably as big a fan of the game as any of us. He's smart enough to know that being HOH at this point could be a disaster since he has no control over who he nominates. America, vindictive pricks we are, could tell him to nominate his strongest allies and he couldn't do jack about it (I think).
Right now he's everybody's pal and he is on no one's radar as a threat. I love that no one would even consider that he was the second vote for Kail, or for that matter, that he got jiggy with the condiments on Jen's pillow.

The caption and picture of Nick on pg.4 made me do a spit take and I wasn't even drinking anything. God, that guys is such a tool. Don't blow you relationship over that guy, Daniele!

Whatup! Great recap, Schoonie.
I was sorry to see Mike go as he seemed like a decent person & was much more attractive to look at than Kail. Plus Dick was stupid to forget his prime objective was to get rid of either Kail or Jen.
BUT the Jameka/Dick farting scene was one of the funniest. Couldn't stop laughing at her making faces. Seriously, who farts like that in front of people, but is considerate(?) enough to do it in a different direction then spray Oust like that?

My husband also thought Eric took a dive. He did it well though, unlike obvious ones on shows past. I was begging Jeebus not to let Amber win because she would totally break down about having to nominate people.
Did anyone else notice that they are being oddly selective about which cast-outs are told about Eric? Does that mean they plan to bring them back?

I don't think they're being very selective. They've told all three so far.
JasonR, I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that America would only get to pick one of the nominees. Considering that Jen and Kail have been the America's Choice selection for almost all of the negative tasks, if I were him I'd be pretty confident that I'm fine. But you're right, I still wouldn't take the chance. For all he knows, America hates Dustin or something and just hasn't had the chance to act on it yet. Being HoH at all before the very end of the game would probably be a disaster for him.

>He should have stroked his moustache when he was voting to evict Mike, that would have been awesome.
Hahah, this is *exactly* what I thought when watching.

"The Charlie Chaplin of the Gay Silent Film Industry, everybody"
Wait. This gets even better.
"Dear Everyone Who Has Ever Found Me Attractive: Fuck Off. Love, Nick."
Aww. That was the best screencap caption ever on TVGasm. Good job, schoonie.

How do I air drop a package to Dustin? Joe obviously stole all his shirts. The gray V neck has gone beyond old.
I hope the HOH gift basket has at least one new T for Dustin. Other than the nasty gray T, I love him.

Oh yeah, and Dick is wrong about the dumbest move. Kaysar has the dumbest move in Big Brother history by REMOVING HIS FINGER FROM THAT FUCKING BUTTON.

nerrawllehctim,
I would agree with you, but when Kaysar came back for All Stars, he pretty much proved he was too nice of a guy to play the game. While he made a stupid move, and while I was a major Kaysar fan that season, I have to conclude that Kaysar was just a bad player.
As much as I hated Chill Town, I couldn't be upset by the end of All Stars. Chill Town played the game.
This season has me a little confused so far. We've seen one major alliance, and Mrs. Robinson isn't in good shape these days. What I don't understand is why people are talking about floaters when there are NO strong alliances nearly a month into the game.
There are no floaters because there are no alliances. It's possible the quieter players are playing Best Game Ever so far. I'm glad Dustin is HOH, but I would have been equally happy if Jameka had gotten it.
And Erik totally threw the HOH competition. He didn't want to be HOH in the first episode and had trouble throwing that. America's Player is smart enough to bide his time. And, he might be open to dating guys...

I think Amber playing with her necklace might be a "I love you" message to her daughter, she does it whenever they are live. Or she just gets really nervous.

I want Kail gone. I know Mike is boring and stupid (not to mention HONEST AND TRUSTWORTHY!!), but I'd still hit that, so it was a no brainer.
Kail isn't interesting, she's just annoying. And I'm pretty sure by now that by "multiple businesses" she means she sells BOTH Avon and Mary Kay. Hate her.
And I love Jen, too. She cracks me up. I will never tire of "Hi (insert name her), it's me, Jen." LOVE HER.
I agree w/the others: Eric threw the HOH.

I have to agree....I don't like the way the HG's are playing the game this year.
3 weeks into the game and NO major alliances. Ms. Robinson was doomed to fail since it was formed in the first hour.......but had Kail waited a while it might have had a chance. I don't fault Mike for sticking to Kail till the very end. Shoot, if I were in the house, I would want Mike to stay, then approach him and say "hey, your'e hardcore to your alliances...let's get together and start something". Which is what he was aiming for but it failed miserably.
There's the "Follow Daniele around like a lost puppy" Alliance which really only benefits her, the "Let's Get all our Enemies" alliance which is 2 for 3 so far, and Jen's "Me Myself And I" alliance (which might just be the best one yet).
I don't think I have ever seen this type of play before....are the HG's trying a totally new strategy never before played (100% floater/solo/no alliance/let's all be friends strategy) or are they truly so dense they can't figure out how Big Bro should really be played. It finally hit me on eviction night when Dick, Dustin, Jameka, Daniele, Amber, and Eric were in the HOH room trying to decide who to vote out.....these 6 are in no alliance whatsoever yet they are making a group decision on eviction? WTF?
this is shaping up to be the lamest season of Big Bro yet. But I will still watch....it's gotta get good sometime!!!!!

The group in power are in mini alliances, but Dani needs to go since she has Nick & ED backing her. She becomes too powerful when it get to 6 or 7 left.
I really hope one of the down and out three get HOH.
I don't think Jameka or Jess will appear so nice if they get nominated. Get rid of the nice girls before the end!

Here's the thing, I think this season is already good. Just because they're not screaming at each other doesn't mean it's not good. They did an excellent job with the casting, and eventually once Zach and Kail are gone, these people are going to have to start eating themselves. For now I have plenty to be entertained by, between Dick and Jen and Eric and all the others.

Schoonie,
I only saw Eric revealed to Joe. How did I miss it? Are they doing it on the morning show the next day?
Dacoyle,
I am so with you on that! That deep-cut V is getting VERY old.

If you read post show interviews (I think on ew.com), they've revealed it to both of the other evictees.

Schoonie, I'm sorry, but this season is being played horribly. There have to be some alliances at some point, or else what is the point? Also, I think that Kail is going to be around for a while and this is why... there will always be someone to get rid of that is a bigger target. For instance, Nick has taken the blame for the mustard incident, as well as the second vote against Jen, therefore, he has a target on his back and Jameka hates Zach, so she is going to push for him. Two or three weeks down the line, Kail may have wormed her way into something new; it all depends on how she plays from this day forward. Remember Nicole from Season 2? She went from being House Pariah Week One, to runner-up. I foresee something like that in Kail's future.
