Nominations, yup. more Big Brother.

I know that it is nothing personal in my life that I am talking about, I just really like Big Brother. So, I watch as much as I can. So, this episode it was time for the Head of Household, Rachel, to nominate people for eviction. But first off was the Have/ Have Not competition.

The Have/Have Not competition is where the houseguests get put into teams and are competing for the luxuries of get this... Not Having to eat Big Brother Slop, Not having to take cold showers, and Not having to sleep in the Have Not Bedroom (which this year, is designed to look like a padded cell of an insane asylum). The game is what I would like to call "The Milky Way" The HOH and her partner, Brendan, did not compete. The Alumni teamed up in one group, Blue cows, The pairs or Porsche/Keith and Adam/Dominic were the Green Cows. And Lawon/Kalia and Cassi/Shelly were the Orange Cows. Each team consisted of thee team members dressed as cows, which looked to be made of a spongy material, and the Milkman who was in a lycra suit. Jeff, Keith, and Lawon were the milkmen for their respective teams. The cows had to run into a crater that was filled with milk, run across the yard up the plank to their color coded launch pad and have the milkman squeeze the milk out of the costumes, the first two teams to finish were the Haves, with the final team being the Have Nots. It was kinda funny to watch this competition because it is grown adults acting like children in this game. In the End the Veterans filled there bottle up first, followed by the Green Cow team in second. and the Orange team becoming the Have Nots for the first week.

The major thing about Big Brother is that it is always a numbers game, who has the bigger group supporting themselves to push themselves forward. The Veterans know that in the grand scheme of things they are currently losing 6-8, and with that being said have decided to team up and take out the newbies. they also have figured out that they need to pull someone from the other side to help keep them in the game. The first person that they approached was Porsche, she of course said yes, and pretty much played her hand to early and informed her partner Keith of what transpired. The problem is, she didn't kow that Keith has already made an alliance with Cassi, Dominic, and Lawon. This foursome has decided to call themselves "The Regulators" (Really? That is the best you can come up with? Lame. But anyway) Keith went back to his group to inform them of what happened and they vowed to get her out.

The next person that the veterans chose to talk to was Adam. He seems like a smart guy, I hope that he was blowing smoke at them. But he too kinda said yes to the veterans plans. When all was said and done and Rachel ended the nominations ceremony, Keith and Porsche were on the block, with Rachel intentions to get rid of Keith due to his athletic prowess. The only thing is they didn't clue in Porsche as to what they were going to do, and she is a little mad. So, either way it goes, It doesn't look good for the veterans with who stays.

Wendsday is the Veto Competition. so we will see who gets to the Golden Power of Veto and maybe the nominations will change.

In My Opinion:

  • Porsche played her hand to early and kow-towed to the powers of the veterans. She needs to go. I am sorry, If I was in her shoes, I would realize that even though the Vets currently have someone in the HOH position, it won't be for very long. And that the newbies have the numbers. She just doesn't know what she is doing. Buh-Bye Porsche.
  • The Vets are being controlled by Evil Dick. WAKE UP! Even through he is being vocal, and he is doing the work. The blood that splatters by his hands will land on the rest of the veterans. Hopefully Jeff, Jordan, Rachel, and Brendan will get rid of him first when they get the chance.

It's that time of the year again... Big Brother is back!

Ah! I love summer. Every year CBS blesses us reality show junkies with Big Brother. I love Big Brother. It is a masterful mixture of drama, game show, and a bunch of hot bodies. If you never watched Big Brother, Let me give you a quick synopsis of how it works. 13 (normally) strangers (also normally) enter the BB house and compete in different challenges to eventually have one person win $500,000.

So every summer they always have a twist to the game, This year is no exception. Big Brother season 13 theme is..... A Summer of Double Trouble! The game of Big Brother throws these people into a odd situation and we get to see what they do, Typically, These people form groups and alliances to try to sway the game in their favor. As most groups start, it begins with two. These two people might be very forthcoming of their couple status, and others keep the duo-ship a secret until it is too late. Well this time the Big Brother game gets turned on its ear when 8 brand new houseguests come into the game and are forced into partnerships, and then find out that they have to go against three power couples from seasons past.

The Couples Are:
    The New Houseguests:
          Adam/Dominic ~ Heavy metal guy, Really loud, not sure how I feel about him/ College kid, Still lives at home, Kinda hot (he hasn't taken off his shirt yet, so that can't be confirmed)
          Cassi/Shelly ~ Model, Very pretty, Seems kinda humble (go figure)/ Mom, Executive of a sporting goods/hunting retailer, Honest (Also a seems to be, the game just started)
          Lawon/Kalia ~ Outspoken, Crazy fashion, Gay?/ Kinda stuck up, A writer of a sex column, She might be the bitch of the season.
          Keith/Porsche ~ Pastor, Horn-Dog, ALREADY LIED (way to go Religion Boy)/ VIP Bartender, Thinks she's hot, seems to be a competitor

     The Old Houseguests:
          Rachel/Brendan ~ They are from Season 12 (Summer of Sabotage). This is the first time I have ever seen the guy ride on the coattails of the girl. Brendan Hardly ever won, Rachel kicked a lot of ass during her time on the show. The problem with Rachel is, she is really really loud, has an annoying laugh and sounds like she has a IQ of 2. I am happy to hear however, that they got engaged.
          Jeff/Jordan ~ They are from Season 11 (High School Cliques). Jordan won her season. They are stupid cute. They are still dating, which I think is super cute. Jeff is very competitive and very protective of Jordan. Jordan is really cute and observant, just doesn't seem that smart.
          Evil Dick/Danelle ~ They are from Season 8. Evil Dick won his season. Danelle was second. Evil Dick is his namesake. He tormented his fellow housemates. Dick and Danelle weren't on good terms when they first played the game, and they still aren't.

The HOH Competition:
The pairs had to hang on a large banana while it swung, dipped, and had chocolate sauce and whip cream shot at them. Rachel lasted the longest after she struck a deal with Evil Dick and Danelle to keep them in the game. As the Head of Household (HOH) Rachel will get to nominate one of the other couples for eviction. The nominated couple will have to campaign to keep themselves in the game. Where one person will be kicked out, and the other will receive the Golden Key. The houseguest that receives the Golden Key will automatically make into the top 10. So, not only is Rachel attempting to kick someone out, she is making sure that someone stays for four weeks scott-free.

In My Opinion:

  • I think that this season has great potential to rival the others. I am looking forward to see who does what to whom this season.  
  • I do not like the Keith/Porsche pairing. Keith seems to be one of those who will use his faith to justify his actions. He wants to "Go forth and multiply" Because that is what it says in the bible, it seems to me that he is going to use scripture to back up his horndog/player ways. And he thanked God to be in the house with such beautiful ladies. Makes me sick. Porsche seems very shallow, it is early in the game and hopefully she will show another side of herself, if not get rid of her.
  • If I was Danelle, I would go to Rachel and tell her to put up her and her father, as long as she promised to vote out Evil Dick first. 
  • If I was Rachel, I would put up Evil Dick and Danelle. And just be hated from the get go, and campaign to get rid of Evil Dick.
We will see what happens on Tuesday. That is when the nominations happen and the Veto competition.
