  1. Very fun episode. It seems like the producers are settling in with this show and getting creative with the stories and the characters. They know what they have with the show and where they want to take it, and I'm happy to be along for the ride. This was the first time I actually liked Todd's sister. She was such a downer last season; at least now she's still a downer, but in a more entertaining way.
  2. Charles complaining that Camilla was heroic and was never fully appreciated for her actions reminded me of the episode of "The Office" when Michael claimed that "Holly and I are like Romeo & Juliet, and the rest of this office ise like the dragon that kept them apart". LOL Somebody on this show must have it in for Prince Harry because he really comes across as a complete jerk here (and the actor plays him as if he's Loki in "The Avengers"). I've never really followed the royal family in that much detail, but I always thought Harry was considered a rascal, or a lovable scamp. This fictionalized version of him seems much more malevolent.
  3. I really enjoyed this show! I wish they'd done 10 episodes like last season, though. I'm afraid the ratings haven't been too good. I've got to hand it to the producers of "The Bachelor"/"The Bachelorette" for their casting of beautiful-yet-tough-as-nails contestants, though. In the 2 seasons of "Special Forces", there have been 3 alumni of these dating shows here and ALL 3 have won this show! Who knew the Fantasy Suite provided such first-class workouts!
  4. I thought Jag's speech was harsh, but perfect for what he was trying to do. He needed to counteract Matt's friendly "Kumbaya" speech since Matt had the Everyone Loves Me vote locked up. By bragging that he had the blood of the entire jury on his hands, he took full responsibility for the backstabbing and strategic moves. It was impressive and it paid off. If I was on the jury, I would have hated hearing that speech but I would have had to (grudgingly) voted for Jag. I'm glad we had a full 2 hours for the finale. Many times, the last episode of the season lines up with the season premiere of "Survivor" where both are 90 minutes long. Those BB episodes always seem so rushed. 2 hours is much more leisurely and allows for more interactions. Cameron, the "agent of chaos", seemed surprised when Mecole said she thought he was the villain of the season but, on watching the show from home, realized he was the hero of the season. I really enjoyed how genuinely surprised and humbled he seemed when he won AFP. Funniest line of the entire BB season: Julie: Matt, which 2 contestants do YOU think are secretly related to each other? Matt: I don't know.....Corey and America? :o
  5. I'm not surprised Felicia talked to BB ("Mr. B") all the time but I WAS surprised that he frequently answered her! That was pretty funny, especially when he was obviously fed up with her. LOL The next-to-last episode of the season is always a clip show, but this one was kind of entertaining. I was planning on fast-forwarding through most of it (it's the one episode I don't watch "live" for that very reason) but I ended up forgetting to FF and watched the entire thing. Can't wait until Thursday. I'd be happy with either a Jag or Matt win.
  6. "Previously on BIG BROTHER: Quentin Tarantino finally got his shot at directing an episode of Big Brother, and he made the MOST out of Felicia's foot hygiene procedures. Just wait for when the Emmy Awards committee comes a-knocking on the BB door!" Seriously, couldn't we have had a segment on the houseguests getting video messages from home, or letters, or SOMETHING other than FEET?!?!? I did love when the announcer said in the opening of the episode, "Yes, it's the Halloween season and Big Brother is STILL on the air!". LOL
  7. Jag handled the Invisible HoH about as poorly as possible this week. Blabbing to Cory and America was mistake #1. Nominating Blue and Felicia instead of Cory and America was mistake #2. Needlessly putting his relationship with Blue at risk was Mistake #3. Showing his weakness as the HoH/leader for the week was Mistake #4. I've been a fan of his all season, but I'm starting to wonder if he has what it takes to get to the end in this game.
  8. LOL I don't think ANY woman likes it when her boyfriend can wear her clothes! I don't see a long-term relationship coming out of this.
  9. When Cirie stood and gave her message to the Houseguests before voting began, she wanted to say Hi to her sons and, for a split second, I thought she was going to say "Jared". She smartly just named 2 sons, but if I were in her place, I promise I would have accidently spilled the beans. I have to admire Cirie for being able to keep this secret for so long! I'm sorry to see Cameron go, only because he was a schemer and schemers in the BB house are always appreciated, especially this late in the season. He definitely kept things interesting! One thing that I've really enjoyed this season is the fluidity of the factions in the house. Unlike in some seasons, where there are 2 opposing forces struggling with each other, this season we have a bunch of duos and trios that are shifting alliances constantly. It really keeps things moving and makes every conversation interesting. You never know when someone is going to say just the wrong thing and unknowingly blow up their entire game (Cam ruining his relationship with Bowie this week being a prime example). Every group in the house has a reason to go against every other group, but also a reason to team up with every other group. Fascinating!
  10. Zingbot was even funnier than usual last night. The "America" song about Corey was brutal! LOL I didn't quite hear Matt's zing; something about the cardboard cutout of Josh Duhumal, but I missed it. I was wondering if there was a sign language interpreter off-camera who was conveying the jokes to Matt since he obviously couldn't read OTEV's lips. Is there usually someone off-camera during challenges to help him with some of the rules? When Julie reads clues for challenges, how does he know what she's saying? It's not looking good for Cameron tonight. I'm afraid his trust in Jag and Matt and his insistence that Bowie knock out Corey is going to doom him. He's a good strategist but his social game is terrible.
  11. This was a good episode with lots of strategic talk and an almost formal re-alignment of the various 2-person factions in the house. However, 10:00 is really too late on a Sunday night for this show, especially when it's frequently pushed even further back due to football overruns. They really need to push the show back up to 8:00 so fans can watch more easily.
  12. "Double Eviction Week" is like early Christmas in my house. I love it! Last night was no exception. Suddenly, all the houseguests are running around, out of breath, trying desperately to strategize in the limited time of a TV commercial break, and everyone's plans are thrown up into the air. So much panic! haha I'd be surprised if this zombie thing is the only time we get an evicted houseguest returning to the game. We still have nearly 50 days of game left and a dwindling number of players! I hope Cameron is the one coming back this time. That'll shake things up in the house and give us several groups of players competing with each other rather than just "Team Cirie" vs "The Others".
  13. Best week of Big Brother in quite some time! At first, I didn't care whether it was Izzy or Felicia who got sent home (glad to see either of them go) but all the secret machinations going on last night, and the revelations to several of the contestants about what was REALLY going on behind their backs (Cam finding out about Jared working against him; Cory finding out he wasn't as close to Cirie and Izzy as he thought; Matt and Jag finding out their 7 Deadly Sins alliance was fake, etc.) was so exciting to watch. After all of that, I was rooting so hard for Izzy to get sent packing; and then, she was! So THIS is what happens when you're part of 7-8 different alliances in the house at the same time! haha
  14. Great episode! I was so worried Cameron was going to wimp out and pull the whole "It's too early to rock the boat" excuse. Instead, he played everyone like a boss! I'm happy with either Izzy or Felicia going this week. I still think that Cirie is untouchable at this point. These contestants are so far up her butt it set off the Stink-o-Meter at "10"!
  15. Julie: "It's Day 30 in the BB House and it appears that at least some of these knuckleheads are starting to realize that we've thrown a Ringer into the House just to mess with them." America (the contestant, not the country): "You know how Cirie played on Survivor 4 times? And how Jeff Probst himself called her one of the best players ever? And how she just won some other show called The Traitors, where she manipulated and back-stabbed a bunch of other professional reality show contestants, including some BB All-Stars? Well, I'm starting to think that maybe she could be the person secretly calling all the shots in the House right now. Maybe she's a threat and we shouldn't be going to her for advice on how to vote and stuff. I know, crazy, right?" Wow, only 30 days to figure that BB "twist" out! haha
