It looks like Jordan had the easiest trip to the final two, as Kevin wanted Natalie out, and Jordan wanted Kevin out. So, at the final HOH competition, it came to a tiebreaker. Jordan was only one off with the answer, and she was crowned the final HOH. In her decision, she decided to vote to evict Kevin, which seems to be the Jury’s favorite. I think Jordan evicting Kevin was completely epic, and that’s exactly what I wanted to see happen at the very end, and I, at this moment, really felt that it was Jordan’s game, and Natalie had like no chance.

In the jury questioning and reunion part of the show, each of the jurors got to ask three question addressed to Natalie and Jordan. Then, it was time to talk about various moments of the game, as Ronnie revealed to Jordan that Natalie is really 24, not 18. Jordan was shocked and speechless to hear this. Then, it was revealed that Natalie and Kevin made up a lie, saying to Jeff that that Russell had plans to take him out, and had other final two plans. Then, everyone talks about Chima’s removal from the game, as nobody defended her.

It was time for the moment we’ve all been waiting for, the winner was to be revealed. And with a vote of 5-2, Jordan was crowned the winner, receiving as vote from America, Jessie, Lydia, Jeff, and Michelle. Russell and Kevin voted for Natalie. Then, the America’s Housemate was revealed, and Julie says it wasn’t even close, and the winner was Jeff, receiving $25,000. I’m real glad that Jordan won, she was my favorite. She was, like the fourth favorite of mine to win, Will, Jun, and Mike being the first three. This season was OK, overall.

Now, I’m waiting to see what they’ll do next year. I’m hoping that Pandora’s Box gets to come in, and be a part of every week of Big Brother somehow. I also wouldn’t be surprised if they ended up diving thirteen or so people into more teams somehow. I just hope they don’t over sue it like pairs. Than again, I’d always love to see a whole new twist that‘s crazy, and fun to watch.

In Sunday’s Episode, Natalie is given the Pandora’s Box, where she’s given the chance to opt out of the veto, and speak to one of her loved ones for five minutes. She chose to speak to her boyfriend, who then decided to propose to her, as she accepted. To spend fifteen more minutes with her fiancé, she releases some very strange, big crying baby, a copycat, and a spider with crazy string, entered the house to harass Jordan, Kevin, and Michele. When that scene was over, Natalie made up a lie, saying the final two votes are reversed for her if she wins. OK, I don’t any producer, not even me, would want to come up with a twist like that.

She later came clean about it and revealed to the housemates she got engaged, clearly throwing out for them to believe she’s eighteen, now. In the nomination ceremony, it was Jordan who was safe, and Michele and Kevin were nominated. I personally feel these were the best nominations possible, as Kevin and Michelle are both probably the best players of the four, and am glad to see them nominated. Natalie is also smarter by trying not to make Kevin and her look like allies. However, I truly think Natalie playing Jordan and Kevin could get her one less jury vote, if she had to vote to evict one of them.

In the veto competition, the Housemates had to pick blocks that go with two descriptions of evicted housemates. It was very close between Michelle and Kevin, as Jordan was completely clueless and way out of it. It was ultimately Kevin who ended up winning, easing earning himself a sot in the final three. After the veto ceremony, Kevin and Natalie celebrated earning the chance to become the final two, with Just Jordan in the way. Then, Michele begins telling Kevin that she’s way easier to beat in the final two, and she could guarantee him $500,000. However, at the eviction ceremony, Kevin voted to evict Michele, and she was evicted.

I personally thought that each of the final four had someone rooting for them in the jury house. For example, Natalie has Jessie, Kevin has Lydia, Michele had Russell, and Jordan has Jeff. Now, I’m sure that Russell, Jeff, and Michele are all pulling for Jordan. I’m still sure the seventh vote is America, but it won’t count unless it comes out as a 3-3 tie. I kind of don’t care, at the moment, who should get out next, who should be the runner up, and who should win. I think Jordan needs to win this in order to win the game, but I don’t see it happening.

Sunday: Jeff & Michelle Nominated
It was a battle for HOH, as Kevin and Michelle were taking the lead. It was Kevin who pulled ahead, and finally won HOH. In his HPOH room, we see his husband of nine years. Natalie says she feels safe, as so does Jeff, who feels the deal will save him. Michelle, however, feels vulnerable, and feels that she’s got no allies since Russell left, and thinks they are all against her. So, Natalie and Kevin talk about voting out Jeff, hoping he gets out and doesn’t get the veto. So, at the nomination ceremony, Kevin broke his word with Jeff, nominating him against Michelle.

Tuesday: Michelle vetoed & Jordan nominated
Jeff was bitter about Kevin nominating him. In the HOH bedroom, there was a “Pandora’s Box” twist that unleashed $10,000 that he housemates could collect while Kevin, who was stuck in the box, had to watch everyone, and watched as Natalie betrayed him by not freeing him. Then, Michelle is crying, saying she needs this power of veto to save her. In the veto competition, the housemates had to guess which two housemates were matched up in alien babies. It was Michelle who won the veto, and she was spared another week, while Jordan feared being put on the block against Jeff. At the veto ceremony, her reality became a nightmare as Michelle vetoed herself, and Jordan became the replacement nominee.

Thursday: Jeff evicted in a 2-1 vote
Jeff comes up with a “sweet deal” for Natalie to take. He tells her he’ll get him and Michelle to throw the final HOH competition, giving her the chance to win a free HOH, and automatically advance to the final three. Natalie says she’ll consider it. At the eviction ceremony, it was Natalie on board with voting Jordan out, but Natalie voted to evict Jeff, as she claims it was because of Jeff putting her on the block against Jessie, and it was up to Kevin to make the eviction decision. Kevin, without hesitation, voted to evict Jeff, and Jeff was evicted. In the HOH competition, which is Big Brother’s worst competitions ever, the housemates had to guess random, senseless statements and see if they are fact or fiction. In a three way tie, they went to tiebreaker where Natalie was crowned the winner of HOH, saying this is for Chima, despite the fact it can’t get her a jury vote.

I think getting Jeff out was a good move for Kevin and Natalie to make, however, I really hope to see Michelle and Jordan team up now and take out Kevin, then Natalie. I would say this is anyone’s game, and any of these four have a shot of winning. This could be the most unpredictable final four we’ve seen in a long time. I really think Jordan is the safest, as Kevin would likely vote Michelle out, since Michelle can win competitions more likely than Jordan.

I truly love the fact that each of the cliques have one representative in the final four. Jordan for popular, Natalie for Athletes, Kevin for off-beat, and Michelle for brains. I really feel this is a deserving final four, with each of them deserving to be there in their own way, except I may have to find a really good reason why Jordan should be there, but I think Jordan can prove to herself she can win and stay, even without Jef around. I think if she did that, she’d possibly see a vote from Jeff and Lydia. Below I have a final four prediction/hope list of how I want the last week to go.

4th: Kevin
3rd: Natalie
2nd: Michelle
1st: Jordan

Sunday & Tuesday:
Natalie and Kevin, who have decided to lie to Jeff about Russell have decided to continue with this lie, calling Russell disloyal, and saying they would be better to take to the final four over Russell or Michelle. So, Jeff comes up with a plan to nominate Kevin and Natalie and backdoor Russell. So, Jeff did just that, as we see Natalie and Kevin nominated. On Tuesday, Natalie and Kevin decide to talk to each other about getting Jeff out if one of them wins HOH. Which, I think works as Jeff is a jury threat, but clearly means they’d be just as disloyal as Jeff and what they made Russell out to be. So, Jeff wins the power of veto, and decided to take Kevin off the chopping block. Russell says there’d be Hell if he was put on the block and get backdoored, and as he expected, he got what he expected, and was placed on the chopping block.

Thursday:
On Thursday, Russell remains bitter about being put on the block, and goes off to attack Jeff and Jordan. Jordan and Jeff fight back, with words, and Jordan chest bumped Russell, as he called her fat, and told her to eat cookie dough. Russell, again, uses the “technotronics” insult, on Jeff over again. So, Jeff and Jordan are pretty sure they don’t like Russell anymore, but hey, it’s their jury vote. It was then time for the eviction ceremony. By a vote of 3-0, Russell was evicted. Russell left in a very classy way, however, and that was respectable. In the HOH competition, the Housemates had to transfer hot chocolate across a slippery graham cracker and fill the large container with the hot chocolate and get the marshmallow out. The HOH competition was left to hangover the next episode, but Kevin was the winner in the next episode anyways.

I personally feel that taking out Russell was a good move for him because it’s pretty much easier to beat Kevin and Natalie over Russell any day. However, with Russell out, this should backfire for three reasons. One, Natalie and Kevin secretly want him out, so if they got power (which Kevin did) he could be in trouble. Two, with Russell out, that makes Jeff the only physical threat, meaning he’ll have to win these last two vetoes not matter what if he wants to walk his way to the final three and final two, and third, Russell left the game over a lie that Kevin and Natalie made up. Sure it’s part of the game, but Jeff got played and Russell was the victim, now I just won’t mind seeing Jeff become the victim next.

Out of these final five, I really don’t seem to care who’s going to win. Jeff, Kevin, Natalie, and Michelle have all done their great deal of backstabbing, I suppose, whereas Jordan just floats along, as she says Together, they are a package, when it’s more like Jeff is just Jordan’s package. I actually don’t care to see Kevin, Natalie or Michelle win, and I don’t know where the jury stands to guess on anything.

Beforehand:
Natalie received a phone call from her dad, as she says this week was pretty bad for her, and Natalie feels some comfort is knowing that Natalie’s dad and boyfriend watch the show together. Then, Natalie, Lydia, and Kevin try to tell Jeff a lie about Russell and Michelle making final two deals with Michelle. Jeff looked as he bought the lie, and he and Jordan planned on getting a nominee vetoed or voting Russell out next week. Personally I hope this doesn’t happen, because it could mess up Jeff’s game by keeping Natalie and Kevin in the game, ass they’ll get the votes from Jessie and Lydia. Then, Natalie and Lydia finally come to an agreement about Jessie trying to pit Lydia and Natalie against each other in a love triangle. So, They both agree to give Jessie some heck for that when one of them entered the jury house.

Veto competition, Veto Ceremony, and Eviction ceremony:
In the veto competition the housemates had to determine if a phrase Julie Chen was before or after another phrase Julie said. It was between Michelle and Jordan as they went all the way to tiebreaker, where Jordan was the eventual winner of the veto competition. During the commercial break, we see Kevin, Jeff, and Jordan in the spa room. Ultimately, Jordan decided not to use the power of veto, leaving Lydia and Natalie on the block. It was time for the eviction, and by a vote of three to one, Lydia was eviction. Lydia decided to only say goodbye to her Sugar bear, Kevin, and then leave the house. Then, it was time for the HOH competition where the housemates had dump cans into one of two tubes and fill them up to get a total of 24 cans. The challenge was immediately left as a cliffhanger, and will go on to the next episode.

This season is actually turning out a bit okay, now. While it had a bad start seeing Laura and Casey go and see Jessie control everything, I was glad that things turned around epically enough to make this season be good enough. I really hope Natalie and Kevin go pretty soon, I don’t think either one of them were decent players, but they were nice people, most of the time, and I believe they’d make pretty louse and easy winners. I think the best winners would be Jeff or Russell, but the only way that would happen is if they were the final two together. I really would love to See Jordan win, and seeing we may get a bitter jury, I believe it would be epic if that happened. Michelle, well, she’d be an ok winner, but I think she’s prety dead at third or fourth, and I fell she’s the bottom of the alliance.

Love: Jordan, Jeff, Russell,
Like: Michelle, Natalie, and Kevin
Dislike: Lydia.

The Nominees, Chima & Natalie up:
Since this week was originally going to be a double eviction week, I was originally planning to make two posts this week, but since Big Brother had an ejection occur, I’ll make that the first of two posts of the week. So, let me tell you about Big Brother’s gotta be best episode in a long time. But first, I’ll start with Michelle getting crowned as HOH. What had to be one of the most awkward and random things on the show was Chima, Natalie, and Lydia crying of Jessie’s eviction like a funeral, as if he actually died or something. It was almost like a funeral, but it was funny, so maybe not exactly not like a funeral. Then, Michelle was telling the housemates she wanted Chima out. This made Russell and Jeff very happy. So, at the nomination ceremony, it was Chima and Natalie who were nominated.

Chima’s Ejection:
It all started when the housemates got the chance to practice for the veto competition when Chima was told to put her microphone back on. Kevin goes and gets her microphone and she throws it in the pool. Then Chima continues to refuse to put her microphone back on as Kevin, Lydia, and Natalie are trying to convince her to put it back on. It didn’t work, Allison Grodner, who basically, owned Chima called her to the diary room and Chima didn’t even get to sit in the chair, she was immediately escorted out as she was finally ejected. I feel this had to be one of the best moments this show has had in a very long time.

The Aftermath:
Lydia tries to tell Kevin and Natalie about Chima choosing to make her decisions on her own. Then, next is the HOH competition where the housemates had to play a miniature golf type game. It was last between Jordan and Jeff where Jeff threw the competition and gave it to Jordan. This made Lydia go completely psycho as she calls Jordan a hoe and goes off on Jeff. Later, Lydia begins dumping all of Michelle’s beer and goes off on her. Lydia claims she should be the next one to go. At the nomination ceremony, it was Lydia and Natalie nominated, as Jordan claims she wants Natalie out. This episode showed Lydia looking really stupid, saying stuff about Chima making her own decisions which is true, then Lydia turns around and acts just as bitter.

Love: Jordan, Jeff, Russell, Michelle
Meh: Kevin
Dislike: Chima, Natalie, Lydia

Sunday – Russell & Lydia nominated:
Chima was the winner of the HOH competition, which was the worst case scenario for Russell. During the day, it was a famous actor Jeremy Pivot (sp?) who entered the house to announce the HHN competition. (Hey, it was better than another former housemate, I guess). So, at the end of the nominations ceremony, it was Russell nominated for past conflicts with Chima and Lydia nominated, mostly as a pawn. I thought this was Chima’s only good move she could make, but It didn’t matter as I figured Jeff was going to use the Coup D’Etat to mess everything up for her anyways. Now, come to think of it, she better be glad she didn’t nominate Michelle over Lydia because, given Michelle’s the current HOH, that wouldn’t have worked.

Tuesday – Kevin wins POV & doesn’t use it:
On Tuesday, Russell is upset about getting nominated, and clearly states he’ll fight to stay in the game. As soon as they picked veto players, and as soon as Jessie wasn’t picked, I was happy, as I figured it is the end of Jessie now. So, during the veto competition, it was a close race between Russell and Kevin. It was Kevin’s technique of getting the eggs out that earned him the veto. After the veto competition, Chima and Russell go at it as Chima calls Russell a terrorist, as Russell claims that was Racist. It can be, since it was when Ivette said it to Kaysar in season six. So, at the veto ceremony, Kevin decided he needs to look at after himself and decides not to veto Lydia, his close ally.

Thursday -Jessie Evicted as Coup D’Etat used & Michelle’s HOH:
Russell decides to go and talk to Michelle, asking for votes, as he fails to do so, since Jessie ruined that for him, he feels it’s the Coup D’Etat that may save him. It was almost time for the eviction ceremony when Julie Chen asked if the power is to be used. Jeff stood up, said he’s got the power, and immediately nominated Jessie and Natalie. At the eviction ceremony, by a vote of 3-2, Jessie was evicted, becoming the first member of the jury. It really loved how crazy that episode was, and it’ll be just as crazy as the double eviction next week. This season went from a bad start to almost one of the best seasons, just don’t let Chima get too far, of course. That eviction was so Epic, man, I can’t believe Jessie got screwed by two America’s Choice Twists throughout Big Brother. Also, Michelle as Hoh is going to be a nice trip, she’ll probably be walked all over next episode, if she gets Chima out, she’ll obviously move up on the liability scale.

Love: Jordan, Jeff, Russell
Like: Lydia, Natalie, Kevin
Meh: Michelle
Dislike: Chima, Jessie

Sunday – Ronnie & Lydia nominated:
In the cliffhanger HOH competition, it was left between Russell and Jeff. Then, Jeff stuck a deal with Russell, hoping he, along with Jordan is safe. Russell as HOH got Jessie, Ronnie, Natalie, and Chima all nervous. So, the four of them all try to gang up on Lydia and Kevin who are simply floating along to whoever has power. Then, Lydia says to Russell that Chima wanted Russell backdoored on week two. So, at the nomination ceremony, Russell kept his word to a new ally, Jeff, and decided not to nominate Jordan and Jeff, but to nominate Lydia and Ronnie.

Tuesday – Michelle wins POV, does not use it.
In this episode, after Russell nominated Ronnie and Lydia, it’s often sure that Jeff, Jordan, and Kevin will vote for Ronnie, while Chima, Jessie, and Natalie will vote for Lydia. This leaves Michelle as a swing vote, and notices she’ll be making enemies this week. Not only does she suddenly become a swing vote, she ends up winning the veto competition. Russell decides to make a secret agreement with Michelle, and with that, she doesn’t use the power of veto, leaving the nominations the same for the first time this season.

Thursday – Ronnie evicted, Jeff wins Coup D’Etat, Chima HOH
In Thursday’s episode, Ronnie tries to weasel and rat in his way to win a sympathy vote from Jordan. Before the eviction ceremony, things got heated, well, staged, so they say between Chima and Russell and Ronnie confesses there’s no good in Michelle. Now, it was also revealed that Jeff was the winner of the Coup D’Etat where in the first chance, it wasn’t used by him. So, the results were in, and With 4 votes, Ronnie was evicted. In the HOH ceremony, it was Chima, Kevin, and Natalie left. Chima got the last question right, claiming a win for herself.

Now, I am go flipping glad that Jeff got this Coup D’Etat because I so think he’s going to use it and totally get Jessie out of the door this week. I also wouldn’t mind seeing Kevin or Michelle leaving, just because due to their game play and lack of strategy skills that it should be one of them leaving shortly. I think Lydia is doing an OK job at playing, unlike Kevin, who is just nothing but a floater’s sidekick. That’s it. Russell and Jeff are easily playing probably the two best game players because they know how to take control of how to get themselves out of bad positions, unlike Jessie, who is clearly playing the game way too hard, and did that way too early, also.

Here is a new way how I’m ranking these housemates based on how I like them. It’s basically a Love/Like/Meh/Dislike scale that I hope (if my readers are, like, alive?) you guys would do. This ranking only includes the ten housemates were there this week. So here goes:

Love: Jordan, Jeff, Russell
Like: Natalie, Lydia
Meh: Kevin, Michelle
Dislike: Chima, Jessie, Ronnie.

For now on, my blogs on Big Brother will be weekly, instead of after every episode, simply because it’s just going to be easier on me. This is about Casey’s eviction, so here we go.

Basic info of the night:
Casey tried to scheme to get the chance to stay, so he goes to Russell, and tells Russell, he’s fourth in Jessie’s alliance. At first Russell claims to be second, but what I thought was, why settle for second? Until he noticed it’ll be easier to beat Ronnie and Natalie in the final three with him out. So, Russell claims he’s got to consider keeping Casey, and says he’ll try to get the numbers to save him. Meanwhile, everyone else pretty much considered the vote to turn out unanimous. At the eviction ceremony, the vote was 7-1, Russell voted for Jordan, but couldn’t get the numbers to save Casey, and Casey was evicted.

Twist and another resurrected twist:
Shortly after Casey was evicted, Julie Chen called all housemates to the living room, where she announced the housemates have Graduated from Big Brother School District (OK, so maybe not those exact words, but still, the housemates were told they “graduated”) which is just a metaphorical way of saying the housemates are no longer competing or depending on as cliques. Then, Julie Chen announced another twist, a Secret Power was to be given to a certain housemate. This housemate would receive the power as request by America. Julie Chen revealed to America that this secret power was the Coup D’Etat, which we saw that in Season 7, it gave us a whole lot of nothing, but hey, the Immunity Idol’s in Survivor started off that way, and look at it now. (Blindside flashbacks!) I do think the Coup D’Etat can be used, it’ll just be sued predictably, because these people are all pretty much playing a predicable game.

The HOH competition:
The HOH competition required everyone to sit on a graduation hat and hang on for dear life as they get spun around, while being rained on, and then whacked by an oversized inflatable diploma. Nobody dropped before the end of the show, where it was left as a cliffhanger. (But Russell won, I’ll say more in the next blog). So, it was pretty sad to see Casey go, and to see him up against Jordan, and it really sucks to see Jessie’s ego continue inflating more than that diploma was inflated. Jessie just reminds me of Coach from Survivor, minus being a self proclaimed “dragon slayer”. I’ve noticed this is Big Brother’s, what third twist resurrected into a public voting twist (Returning Housemate, America’s Player, Coup D’Etat). What’s next? America’s Pairs? Whatever happened to Expect the Unexpected? Anyways, Go Jordan and Jeff! That’s just about it, for now, however, I finally have respect for Russell for saving Casey and not being so up to Jessie so much. Also, readers, I want to hear from you, I want to know what you think of this season, maybe compare it to BBUK10, or whatever, just comment, please?

Top 5:
1. Jordan
2. Jeff
3. Russell
4. Casey (evicted)
5. Laura (evicted)

I do have Sunday’s episode up, you can look below to read that first. This episode is about Big Brother week three’s veto competition and Ronnie and Casey battling to stay off the block. So, after Michelle and Jordan were nominated, they really looked surprised, and while thinking they were pawns, Jordan still did not want to be nominated. As of now, it’s Chima, Ronnie, Natalie, and Russell who want Jessie to backdoor Casey, and Jeff, Jordan, Michele, and Casey to see Jessie backdoor Ronnie. I’m not really sure where Lydia and Kevin stand, I think those two are pretty much stuck in-between as of now.

In this episode, we first watched a couple of dares from Truth or Dare, as we see Kevin dared to cuddle for two seconds with Jessie while he’s asleep, and see Ronnie hug Casey, while Casey is mad, and not wanting to hug a rat. Casey really seemed to take that hug more personal then I’d expect. Next, we see Jessie constantly asking several other housemates this question: “Why do you want Ronnie out and how would that benefit you?” Then, it was time for the housemates to pick veto players, and this week, Jessie talks about hoping Casey doesn’t play the veto competition. As it was finally time to pick players for the veto competition, it was Chima, Casey, and Jeff chosen to play with the HOH and nominees.

In the veto competition, the teams were dressed as pigs and had to find numbers in a pile of mud and if they liked the number, they could claim it. Thy could claim four numbers, and the one with the highest number would be the winner. In the veto competition, Jessie went out to claim $2,500 and Casey won everyone a Margarita party for everyone, but during the taking a card deal, Casey was punished and forced to wear a banana suit for a wee. In was Michele’s risk to take a card that put her on the top, and she won the veto competition.

Before the veto ceremony, Kevin and Lydia also hear about their fellow off-beater getting put on the block, and talk about the chances to save Casey in hopes of Casey getting Jessie out. It was now either Ronnie or Casey expected to be on the block, Casey attempts to talk to Jessie for one last time after having his allies telling him it’ll be him up for eviction. However, it didn’t work, and after Michelle vetoed herself at the veto ceremony, Casey was nominated, making the house, like his suit, go bananas.

This nominations was deferentially B-A-N-AN-A-S as we see Jessie thinking he’s got the game wrapped up. I’d love for a turn around, and see something happen. I really didn’t want Casey or Jordan to go, but if I had my choice, Jordan should go, since Casey is more likely to win.

I’m back from the best vacation ever, and ready to talk about Big Brother’s third week. So sit back at we see Rat-a-tat Rat Ronnie go vulnerable to felling safe, two jealous girls and a meathead, and the (literally) most unexplained nominations in Big Brother history.

So, it all started with Ronnie feeling like a criminal, as he was left with some bitter enemies for siding with certain people. People like Jeff, Jordan, Michele, and Casey were all sure they hated Ronnie, and were sure he’d be the next one to go. However, it seems that Jessie, Russell, and Natalie, the power athletes want Casey to go, as Casey has come pretty close to winning some challenges.

Next, we have the HHN competition that Chima, Jordan, and Kevin got to play. The teams had to wear drunk goggles (derived from I Survived a Japanese Game show?) and throw ice cubes (large plastic objects painted white) into a large can. The one with the most ice in their cans was to be the Have Not of the week. It was Chima who failed for her team, and her along with Ronnie and Michele were the week three have nots. At least this time Chima didn’t throw a fit, I was very surprised.

Jealously spawned between Lydia and Natalie, as they are involved in a love Showmance triangle with Jessie, who is still probably more into himself. We see their Jealously as Natalie and Lydia attempt to take the game personal by threatening to nominate each other and are bringing each other down. They are also not liking it when the other one is cuddling with Jessie.

Next, it was time for nominations. Ronnie acted like he felt vulnerable, and the same people who hate him are all sure he’s up for eviction. Then, at the nomination ceremony, it was Michelle and Jordan who got nominated, and Jessie left no explanation. Jordan and Michelle left the nomination ceremony thinking they were pawns, and that Ronnie was to be getting backdoored.

First off, I knew Ronnie was going to be marked as some sort of a target for getting Laura out and siding with Jessie’s alliance the minute he was HOH after Braden left because of his attempt to turn on Braden, sending them home. I really don’t care about Jessie nor do I care whether he hooks up with Natalie, Lydia, or himself, I just want to see Jessie’s alliance crumble. I would, however, enjoy to see Lydia and Natalie smarten up and see them both ditch their love for Jessie. That would be epic.

Jessie was kind of a coward for not even explaining his choice of nominating Michelle and Jordan, and a bigger coward for nominating the freakin’ two weakest players at the time in probably Big Brother’s history. It’s pretty clear I want the Casey/Jordan/Jeff/Michelle alliance to stay in all the way together, but they are severely the underdogs. I really hope they can flip something next week.

In the Big Brother house on Thursday, tension sparked as Braden was upset with Lydia over Lydia targeting Braden. This is the part where Braden pulls out some Jade Goody behavior and says some racial slurs to Lydia and Kevin. Then, Lydia goes off on Jordan for really no reason by saying she’s aligned with a complete bigot. Jordan gets her chance to own Lydia stating she had nothing to do with the eviction, saying she sold her soul to the other alliance. Lydia was easily upset with Jordan over Jordan choosing not to cry when Lydia was on the block. Hey Lydia, it’s Jordan’s eyes, she can flood them with tears any time she wants to.

Once again, Jordan attempts to own the game by keeping Braden and evicting Chima. She gets together with Laura her other clique mate and tells her they would be screwed without Braden. Either way the Brains or Popular clique is screwed tonight. So, Jordan rambles up Michelle, Jeff, Ronnie, and Casey asking them to vote for Braden. Casey is completely looked at as a swing vote, and thinks it’s his decision.

Next, it was time for eviction. Braden’s speech says this was the best first week of Big Brother ever, and I have to bluntly disagree, and say that obviously another season could take that title. Chima easily explains that these housemates have forgotten things and that “anyone who aligns themselves with a bigot deserves to go home”. Then, the voting started. By a vote of 5-5, the housemates were in a tie, meaning the HOH, Jessie had to vote. Jessie easily voted for Braden, and Braden was evicted. Braden talks to Julie Chen where he learns it was Ronnie who flipped and Braden describes his Big Brother experience as discombobulated.

Next, is the HOH competition called “Most Likely to. . . . .” where they had to simply guess what the fans of Big Brother thinks about the cliques. If answered wrong, they would be eliminated. If correct, they get to eliminate another housemate. The last one standing would be the winner of HOH. At the very end, it was Michelle and Ronnie left standing, and Ronnie was the eventual winner.

I think I’d really appreciate Jordan now, and I so hope Jordan, Laura, Jeff, Michelle, and Casey get more numbers on their side and take out people like Lydia next. However, with Ronnie as HOH, I think this week will be a part of a random, unpredictable nomination ceremony. Hopefully, It will be Lydia and either Kevin Russell who end nominated. However, I think Ronnie will be crushed next week because either way he’ll have to upset half of the house with his nominations after playing both sides the first week. Here is the list of a top 5 favorite housemates of this week:

1. Jordan
2. Casey
3. Laura
4. Jeff
5. Chima

There will be NO blog for the Tuesday & Thursday episodes of this week, as I will be gone next week. I may get a Sunday blog up, and I will get the blogging back up for the third week.

Sunday’s blog is below, read below to catch up so you’re not lost. So, in Big Brother 11 last night, Lydia felt hurt over being nominated, and totally wasn’t expecting it. She goes in the bedroom (the one that looks like a pool) and begins crying. Kevin, Braden, Jordan, and Jeff were there to comfort her. That got the other athletes upset, and their egos were hurt. Chima was noticing that Lydia was being comforted, but not her.

In the veto competition, the housemates had to pick letters out of “zits” from a face that I swear looked like Michael Jackson’s face, and spell a word from the letters they find. The housemate that spells the longest word would win the. . . . . give me a V, give me an E, give me a T, and give me an O. What does that spell,? Veto. The veto players were the two nominees (Lydia and Chima) and surprise, all four athletes (Jessie, Natalie, Jeff, Russell). Notable words that were spelled were L-A-S-T (Natalie’s word, and it almost worked) and Big Brother’s new edition to the dictionary, T-E-C-T-O-N-I-C-S, which the housemates claimed wasn’t a word, but I looked it up, it is a word, Jeff just spelled it wrong. However, the winning word turned out to be none other than S-H-O-T-G-U-N. That’s just so appropriate to a high school themed Big Brother series. That word belonged to Russell, and he was crowned the veto holder.

Next, a big event happened. Russell decided it was time to make himself feel better (as if the veto wasn’t enough of a reason) by calling Jeff out as a two-faced liar who threw the veto competition. Jeff and Russell turn around and begin verbally attacking each other, Russell rambling on Jeff’s failure to make a word and Jeff rambles about Russell spelling Shotgun. That had to be an extremely lame and easily avoidable fight.
Natalie and Jeff also get into an argument about Jeff not being loyal to the athletes, and Natalie is right, Jeff really hasn’t been loyal to the athletes.

Laura seems to be making friends with the athletes Jessie, Natalie, and Russell as they are needing her number to get the vote their way. Then, Lydia seems to tell Jessie and Natalie they that she was not the right nominee, and decides to throw Braden’s name in there. Jessie and Natalie seem to agree, and think they can get Lydia on their side and evict Braden, after noticing the housemates are about to be divided into two split alliances. Big Brother US being divided into two split alliances has happened just about every season. Before the veto ceremony, Russell tells Ronnie it’s Braden who is going, and Ronnie tells Braden this. Russell knows that Braden knows and confronts Ronnie, who lies bluntly to Russell. So, at the veto ceremony, Russell vetoed Lydia, and Jessie nominated Braden.

I am really not sure about the game being divided already, usually it takes until week three or four. Right now there are only a few to like and a lot of them need to grow on me in order for e to like them. I don’t think Russell, Jessie, and Natalie stand a chance of getting much more allies, and maybe I think Laura and maybe Lydia would be doing a bad thing if aligning with the athletes. Right now, this is bringing back BBUS5 flashbacks, remembering in that season, there was a group of four, the “Four Horsemen” running the first week, and crumbling after that. As of now, I like all the off-beats clique members (Lydia, Kevin, Casey), and Jordan, the rest just need more time for me to decide on. I want Braden to go because of what I read about him saying.

Sorry for the delay, I’ve been doing something else. In this episode of Big Brother, we start off with Jessie entering the house and the housemates are already talking about how much they like or don’t like Jessie. Meanwhile, Jessie is doing some obscene victory dance in the diary room, gloating the fact he’s back in the game.

Later, the athletes, mainly Jessie, Russell, and Natalie are coming up with plans to whom to nominate. Then, Ronnie comes by and nearly begs Jessie for a deal. They come up with some first ever nerd-athlete union, and agree to nominate a pawn. Chima agrees to be the pawn. The other target seems to automatically be Lydia. However, Jessie talks about how Lydia and Laura are being really nice to Jessie.

Big Brother has announced the housemates will be having the first ever “Haves and Have Not’s” competition where the Popular people, Brainy people, and Off-Beat people competed for luxuries. In their HHN Competition, the cliques had to put pipes with coloured, glowing liquid together to spell a word (something like that). The Off-Beats and Popular people were the winners, forcing the brainy people to be placed on slop, sleep in a not so luxurious room, and go without hot water.

Chima was very upset to losing the challenge, and simple continues crying over it. Then, it came time to see Jessie nominate two people. The athletes begin talking about nominating Chima as a pawn, and want either Lydia or Laura up. They say Laura isn’t playing the game and Lydia is. When it came time to see nominations, it was Chima (the pawn) and Lydia (the target) nominated.

I really thought these were the wrong nominations. First off, Chima is still dumb for volunteering to be the pawn despite the fact she knows pawn are just as likely, if not, more likely to go home. I don’t really think Lydia was the right option for nomination.

Big Brother 11 premiered last night, and it started with Julie Chen comparing the Big Brother game to High School. OK, I just left High school, and am now almost reliving it on my television screen, sigh. Julie Chen also talks about this high school comparison that will lead to Big Brother’s famous motto, “Expect the Unexpected, then Julie Chen joked, she’s just expecting. Julie Chen is pregnant and is presenting the show as pregnant. So, it was now time for the housemates to receive their key at home, and perform this annual “getting ready to be on Big Brother and be excited about it” ceremony.

Then, the twelve new housemates are now in front of the front door, and are there with their bags, attempting to observe each other. I’m waiting for Julie Chen and Big Brother to do what Survivor and TAR do, make the housemates drop their bags, and enter with just the clothes on their backs, but oh well. So, four by four, the housemates enter the house. The housemates run around picking a bedroom to stay in, and introducing themselves by name.

The housemates are now all together in the living room, announcing themselves by name, age, location, and profession. Natalie lies about her age, saying she’s 18, which in the US, you have to be 21 to be on the show, unless you enter the game with your ex or estranged father. Before it was time for a commercial, Julie Chen talks to the housemates about the first twist of the season , and revealing the twelve of them will be divided into four high school cliques: Brains, Popular, Athletes, and off-beats. The housemates begin to guess what Clique they’ll belong to. Lydia and Kevin are sure they are the off-beats, Jeff says he played football, Jordan announces she was on Homecoming, and Michele and Ronnie are sure they are the brains.

It was them time for the cliques to be announces. So, everyone was ordered outside. So, the brains were Chima, Ronnie, and Michele. The athletes were Russell, Natalie, and Jeff. The off-beats were Lydia, Casey, and Kevin. The popular people were Jordan, Laura, and Braden. These clique people were almost predicable, except I didn’t predict Jeff and Braden. It was time for the very first HOH competition, called The Wedgie. Housemates were to put on long underwear, and be airlifted as if they were getting a real wedgie and had to hold onto a toilet seat. The last clique remaining would win HOH, however, they won’t take HOH power, that will go to a mystery thirteenth housemate who will become HOH and join the clique in the event their clique wins HOH for them. The three members of the clique, who’s clique is HOH are all safe from the threat of eviction.

These potential thirteenth housemates are no strangers to Big Brother, as they were previous players from past seasons. The four potential housemates also represented a clique. The brain member was Brian, the first evictee from BBUS10, the popular member was Jessica from BBUS8, the off-beat member was Cowboy aka Michael from BBUS5, and the athlete was Jessie from BBUS10. One of those four would be returning back to the game and be Big Brother’s version of “Stephanie LaGrossa”.

Back in the house, and in the backyard challenge, things were not looking good for the brains. Michele and Ronnie were the first two eliminated from the challenge, leaving Chima to represent the brains, a clique she doesn’t seem to happy about. The competition went on and on, until it was the nerds wiped out, excluding Brian’s chance to return to the game. Next, the off-beats were out, eliminating Cowboy from a chance to come back. Cowboy was absolutely the worst of the four, he was useless, whipped, and a joke the first time, and would not have the capability to add anything to this season. It’s also his second failing time returning to the game, he wasn’t voted in or selected to play in BBUS7.

So, Laura, Braden, Natalie, and Russell were the final four housemates remaining in the HOH competition, and Jessica and Jessie were the last two hoping, not fighting, for HOH. At this time, I was rooting for the popular clique to win so Jessica could return in the game. However, Laura, then Braden let me down, giving Jessie the opportunity to come back and play.

This season has a bit of potential, but I feel this kind of twist will make things so predictable. For some reason, I would expect the weakest two (Michele & Ronnie) to be nominated, since it can be “too early” to start picking off strong competitors. They did this with Carol and Amber in BBUS8. I really don’t think Jessie will last, he may pull a Kaysar and keep Tenth place. I really am not favoring a clique, since none of these cliques I truly represented in high school. I really think I’m going to like Laura and Jordan, maybe because they are hot, or whatever. The rest don’t stand out yet, and I don’t think I am going to root for a specific clique. I think the Athletes have what they want this week, but all it takes is for the other cliques to regime change and gang up on the athletic four some.

I am also thinking about what I would’ve done if I was the one who controlled this show and picked which previous housemates should return. I would’ve invited Holly of BBUS5 back to be in the popular group, just because Holly was hilarious, and one of the most unique BBUS housemates, Crazy James of BBUS9 would make a perfect representation for Off-beats, he was way more outrageous, competitive, and strategic than Cowboy, Hardy from BBUS2, despite he was the one who stopped Chilltown from controlling the whole game, but it would be nice to see someone from extreme old school to play Big Brother now. As for the other brain member, well, I guess it wouldn’t hurt to bring back smart people like Maggie, Jun, or Dan back, despite they won.

I really think a lot of you readers are more into Big Brother, especially your own country’s Big Brother version, so therefore, I expect to see more comments. I love seeing comments, so please say something.
