BB6--Saturday 8/20

Its Saturday, the third day of year 0 AK (After Kaysar). The Fuckship succeeded in evicting him yet again on Thursday night and, despite the fact that Janelle managed to win HoH, my confidence that summer reality programming has anything notable left is really low.

I don’t watch the live feeds and rarely read the summaries, but this week has been an exception. If I hadn’t been annoyed by the antics of Cappy’s flock since the first week I might not be so wholeheartedly on the side of Howie and Janelle’s antics. When Howie ripped on Pepperoni I almost felt bad for April, since I too have a slight over attachment to my pet, but continuing to call her Busto is just too hilarious. A good amount of the conflict made the Thursday show, something you can’t always give the folks at BB. Even without having seen Ivette compare Kaysar to Osama Bin Laden, I can honestly say that this is among the most evil alliances in reality history.

Thursday did have two of the best moments of the season:

1) Janelle wins HoH and screams something wonderfully obscene in Jen’s face, who then THREW THE HoH KEY ON THE GROUND. Hilarious.

2) My personal favorite: the last moment of episode when, after nominating Jen and Maggie (perfect choice btw), Howie picks up Janelle and carries her off camera while she lets Jen know what modification of the word “batch” best belongs to her and where she might be going (answers: i for a, home).

Howie continued the routine on Saturday, despite James and Rachel not wanting it. At this point Rachel is the only one delusional enough to believe the S3 has a chance, absent 3-4 miraculous competitions in a row. The Fuckship actually began to realize that they are an enormous collection of whores and not all happy go-lucky when the possibility of negative campaigning came around.

The veto challenge was frightening, insofar as it shattered what was an otherwise unshakable belief that besides naming dogs after pizzas, April could literally not do anything. She managed to beat Howie’s hockey skills by about 15 seconds and ignorantly thought that would somehow make her incredibly lame insinuations that Janelle is a slut borderline entertaining. To paraphrase a friend of mine: if I had a gun with three bullets, I would shoot April three times.

James is trying valiantly to prove to everyone why they were supposed to not screw Kaysar and get rid of him, by at least seemingly allying with the good guys. Janelle, who as the game goes on appears a better and better actual player, vetoed Maggie to put Ivette on the line. Since Ivette is paranoid like a 15 year old stoner when the doorbell rings, she instantly decided her nomination was a conspiracy, just like she did two weeks ago. The voting went down as planned as did Julie Chen’s incredibly boring interview with the ex-houseguest. Besides the revelation that when given the option, she played the game to lose the game, it seemed to me that Julie was trying to make Jennifer someone America wouldn’t hate and maybe stem the tide of e-hatred she has been receiving.

Beau won HoH, despite Maggie being too stupid to lock it up for him by ringing in and answering, right or wrong. Gotta figure that nominating Rachel and Howie is the best move, assuring you can break-up the last partnership in the S-Alliance. One more of the good guys falls. Thank God it’s less than a month til Survivor.
