BB6--Tuesday, 8/23

It is pretty fun to have a week that contains this much drama, all these events crammed into each broadcast. Beau, who before this moment was playing the Big Brother game in the same sort of way that you play checkers with your 3 year old niece: you’re following the rules, you’re technically making moves, but there’s no heart in it.

It was saddening that Howie didn’t manage to answer the final question right for at least two reasons:

1) He would have gotten to continue the full court press on Busto—The tension appears to have died down, at least slightly, as it inevitably would. Howie seems to have calmed slightly and besides a little confrontation in the kitchen the Fuckship seemed to let him get by. The diary room session that accompanied it indicated that “Hurricane Howie” had simply moved out into the ocean for the time being, hopefully to gather strength before it again turned towards the shore. At least he got to say Busto once.

2) Neither Beau or Ivette would get a chance at a million—I don’t think it will happen, even if the Fuckship does make it to the final four intact, but anything that hurts those two has got to be good for humankind. If you had HoH you’ve gotta take a run at breaking up the last coupling of absolute total evil.

The only positive that comes from Beau’s coronation is the hope that the trend to backlash on the previous week’s leader will continue. If nothing else maybe he’ll do a little more than drink and flail around in response to Janelle’s insults. We’re almost to the point where I wouldn’t mind James winning and that says a hell of a lot.

Decisions went down the way you’d expect, Howie and Rachel were on the block. April did everything as stupidly as possible, including wearing what may be the stupidest looking bathing suit since the mid 1930s. Its actually kinda interesting to watch her compete in any random situation, its like a video dictionary entry on the word “clusterfuck.”

James won the veto, making Howie look less and less stupid every time he insists that James is the best player in BB history. Yeah, he’s won a bunch of vetoes, but when you’re competing against Sarah, Maggie, Ivette, etc. is it really that impressive. There haven’t been a whole lot of impressive athletic specimens in the house, excepting the short roid-riddled fireman from Las Vegas whose head looks like a testicle.

He didn’t use it of course, cuz the only potentially legitimate relationship he has in the house is with Ivette. I think Rachel is on her way out, I’m pretty sure she knows it, and I don’t think they’re gonna give Hurricane Howie the opportunity to blow the house down before eviction. Another one bites the dust...
