BB8 - Episode 3

Yes, I'm still writing about Big Brother. Get used to it!

Tuesday's episode was another quality show providing plenty of blog-worthy material.

Some high points:

1) Hands down, seeing the first America's Player assignment carried out. Eric was spot on with the Visine tears and dramatic story about an anorexic high school flame who broke his heart. My only complaint was with the editing. I wish I could have seen the whole story.

2) Joe immediately going to tell Nick that Jen is spreading the rumor that he tried to make out with her. The best moment was after Joe told he came back out and said, "Opps, I have a big mouth!" Maybe keeping him in the house won't be such a bad thing.

3) Jameka getting pissed during the power of veto competition that someone dumped her dirty laundry out all over her bed, while the rest of the house was in complete shambles. She was so annoyed that she put her clothes back in the bag, instead of playing the veto game.

And the low points...

1) Hearing Amber 1) cry every five seconds and 2) talk about God like he is a factor in this game. No, God did not put you up for eviction for a reason. I doubt God cares about Big Brother Season 8. He probably stopped watching after season 3. And if you're asking God for strength because your family is watching, it's probably not a good idea to announce yourself as a "total nympho" while flirting with Nick.

2) Noticing that Danielle is completely anorexic. It makes it really hard to watch the show. I hope she never loses a food competition because if she does, we may very well see the first reality show death.

3) Seeing Dustin's chest hair. It seems like he only brought one gray V-neck undershirt for the show. Someone should have told him that no one wears V-neck shirts anymore. Pity.

Stay tuned for Thursday's episode when we'll see who is the first house guest to go home. Personally, I hope it's Amber. She annoys me way more than Carol. CAAAAAAROL.

BB8 - Episode 2

Let the real drama begin. This season definitely has me excited, more so than any other Big Brother season, mainly because this year I get to blog about it.

Let's discuss some high moments:

1) Jen, the nanny, who had a nervous breakdown after the cast photos used to show who's been evicted from the house were revealed. She claimed the picture had "a shadow that looked like bags under her eyes, just not her bags...someone else's bags." Judge for yourself.

2) Jessica and just about everything she says. In reference to the "slop" the losing food-challenge team has to eat (which is oatmeal) she said, "It's really oaty"

3) The prospect of having Eric, America's Player, tell a house guest of America's choosing a made-up traumatic life story. I voted for Jessica because, well, she's dumb and probably gullible. Although how funny would it be to have Eric pour his heart out to one of the masculine guys in the house? Vote now if you dare.

And of course the low moments...

1) Kail already setting up a four-player alliance. Four horsemen anyone? It's already been done. See season 5.

2) Amber thinking that Kail wouldn't put her up for eviction just because they're both moms and, therefore, should have a mutual understanding. Earth to Amber, it's a game and you're rules are stupid.

3) Seeing so many commercials for Kid Nation and Pirate Master - two of the stupidest ideas I've ever heard of (which means I'm certain to be blogging about them in no time).

Is anyone else watching with me this season? Who'll be evicted? And why are Mike and Zach the same person?

My Guilty Pleasure: Big Brother

Ahhh, summer! Amid the hot dogs, pool parties and humidity is yet another growing summer staple -- Big Brother. I'm not afraid to admit my love for the show and you shouldn't be either. It's The Real World with even more conniving, back-stabbing, petty house mates. Who doesn't want to watch 14 wanna-be actors make complete asses of themselves on TV?

This season Big Brother adds another new twist to its laundry list of shocking plot turns (The Ex-Factor, Project DNA anyone?) - America's Player! Whereas the other twists were a little gimmicky, I think the America's Player idea is just genius and I can't wait to see how it plays out.

So watch the show this summer and afterwards, make a visit to this blog so we can discuss the genius that is Big Brother (and how we already want Joe off of the show.)
