Boy, let’s be honest. That episode of Big Brother was a
whole bunch of nothing. We knew 5 minutes in what the nominations would be for
each person, no matter how much suspense the show tried to drum up. Which is
fine, not every episode is going to be suspenseful, but with those episodes I
don’t have to listen to Nicole talk as much as she did last night. She and Corey are
starting to grate on my last nerve. But, let’s start the recap.
We start the episode with the HOH competition. It’s the annual
slip and slide, where the house guests cross a soapy slide with some sort of
liquid in a cup, hoping to transfer its contents to a big bowl. The first
contestant to fill said bowl and recover a ball out of it wins. Corey by far
won this competition. And, I hate saying this, it was because of a good
strategy. Not only is he already athletically gifted, but he always went down
the exact same spot on the slide. That means that after a few times, that part
of the slide isn’t going to be as slippery because you’ve cleared it out. That’s
why he could almost glide on it, without worrying about falling.
The You Suck Award Goes To
James. Like an old friend, even if he won’t win the 500k, he
can rest assured knowing he has by far won the most amount of these.
The rest of the episode could honestly be summed up in one
paragraph. Victor/Paul continue to trust Nicorey all while Nicorey knows they
are putting those two up. Paul starts to doubt them a little, but never acts on
those doubts. This is yet another reason James should have been evicted last
week. If Paul/Victor had forced the issue for him to go, and Nicorey said no,
then at least the boys would have known the position they were in this week.
Last thing before I move on from this: Corey can not be a man. The CD he
received in his HOH basket was Taylor Swift’s 1989. Which fun, it’s a classic
album, I love it too. But, he also said he wanted to be in her “squad”. Those
exact words. I want to see his birth certificate.
So, as I said, Victor and Paul are put on the block. What’s
more noteworthy though is how Nicole and Corey are losing jury votes by the
second. People could very likely vote for James to win over them because they
have screwed over so many people unnecessarily. You don’t betray people just to
betray them. You need to have some sort of spurring on moment. That moment
could have been last week, but when you are just one week away from fulfilling
your deal, going back on it is pretty pointless. They’ve basically lost
Victor/Paul’s votes to win. They already didn’t have Michelle’s. That’s 3 votes
gone automatically when an opponent only needs 5 to win. If it were James, he’d
have Natalie’s. That would mean, he would just need one more. Nicole/Corey have
made the mistake of thinking only about how to win the game if it’s the two of
them. They don’t realize that some of their actions can screw their chances if
they are up against someone else.
Best Player of the Week
I honestly can’t reward anyone’s game play this week. No one
has done anything to deserve it.
Worst Player of the Week
Nicole and James. Since no one performed well, I’ll just
give it to the two I don’t respect in the slightest. Leave your pre-show
alliances at home and don’t ruin the integrity of the game.
Current Favorite
Victor/Paul. The thought of losing one of them pains me, but
I hope we lose Victor. If only because he’s already been evicted twice so I
couldn’t want him to win based off of that. Paul would be the only decent
winner to this season left.
