Between Paper Towel and Cheese, These Two Are Monsters

As we join our houseguests, Will is showering while Diane… watches him shower. She’s drying her toenails with a hairdryer. She must want her feet to look sexy for eviction night! She doesn’t even really watch her toes though.


My feet are burning…

They’re talking about the fact that the houseguests didn’t vote today. Normally the votes take place on Wednesdays until there are fewer houseguests and the votes become live. There are still too many houseguests for a live vote, so they all figure there’s some sort of twist coming involving the eviction or possible non-eviction. Now Diane is just focusing on her feet as Will continues to shower. Those rows of ducks on the wall hurt my eyes.

Now the camera switches to Chicken George and Erika playing checkers. They’re discussing his gassiness. He can’t wait to be off the slop. Well, he’s got a long way to go, the big dummy. Howie yells from quite far away, “You’re OK Georgie!”

Oh and we’re back to Will showering and Diane sitting there and oh! She just happens to be handy when Will needs a towel. She dutifully retrieves one from the drawer, and seems disappointed when he tells her to just throw it to him. Will dries off. Diane sits. Oh, here’s Marcellas with his robe. He, Will, and Diane now engage in a dreadfully boring conversation about toothbrushes. Who brought one? How many extras were there? Someone take my pulse. Anyways, Will now uses one of the aforementioned toothbrushes to clean out his clippers or electric razor or something, I can’t really tell. Whew, let’s check out the other feeds.

Danielle and Marcellas are in the huge bed bedroom. Kaysar, Howie, and George are outside, oh and Erika, who tends to blend in with the furniture. It’s true. Apparently Big Brother told Howie to clean all the windows outside. George is helping him. Oh, here comes bitter James and his yogurt to sit on the couch and be bitter. Surly James says, “Do they need a whole bottle of Windex on each window?” and also says between paper towel and cheese, these two are monsters. Whatever that means. Hmmm….


I’m bitter!

Anyways, Kaysar thinks he’s wasting his life. Howie can’t believe that. “Give me an idea of what you’ve been about,” says Howie. “Well I’m a Jedi studying to be a meteorologist, I’ve been on several Blind Date shows…” starts Kaysar, but James interjects, “Wait, he’s turning this back on you. He’s deflecting!” They ask Kaysar why he’s deflecting, and he says it’s because obviously he doesn’t want to talk about his life. Yikes, chill out.

Anyways, let’s go join Danielle and Marcellas as they work out. Danielle’s on the treadmill. Wait, no, it’s Danielle and someone else. Danielle says, “Season 3 situation going on upstairs,” and whoever she’s with says, “Shoulda bought the DVD.” I think it might be Boogie. I dunno, they’re only showing Danielle as she spazzes out and says, I need to vent, I need a moment, please call me to the diary room, I’m going to say things on live feeds I’ll regret.” She pauses. “Or, Big Brother, give me a bottle of wine.” She’s looking rough. I don’t know what the deal is. “Weak,” she says, “It’s weak, and I’m PMSing! NO GOOD!” Sisters gonna snap, whatever is going on.


I need a drink

Oh! It is Boogie she’s talking to. You can now see his weasely face in the mirror just behind her:


The headband gives him away

They talk for a while about what they think the next HOH competition might be, maybe endurance they figure. Boogie breathes annoyingly when he works out. He goes to get a glass of water, and comes back saying, “She’s right there!” I would assume they’re talking about Janelle but who knows. Oh, back to the hell breathing from Boogie. Boogie sets the Bowflex too tense and Danielle scolds him.

We then switch rooms just as Marcellas says, “I look too amazing to be in here, I need to be out getting laid.” At least he’s modest. BB then calls Danielle to the diary room (Yay! She won’t have to have a public meltdown!) and they discuss the fact that she visits the diary room more than anyone else. Kaysar comes in and considers shaving, but then decides to go work out. He wants Janelle to go, but she doesn’t want to work out in front of the internet people. Oh! A mysterious female voice suddenly comes on the sound system and says, “Hey houseguests?” and Janelle says, “Yeah?” There is no response probably because they realized the feeds hadn’t been cut. “YEAH?” Janelle yells this time. Then, as to be expected:


I dream this

When we return, we’re outside with everyone on the couches. Let’s check in with Danielle:


This is my happy face

Ok camera guys, I get it, Danielle’s bitter. But why? WHY? Will this mystery ever be solved? If only it could be neatly edited together and presented to me on prime time television. Oh! It will be. Good times. Anyways, I think this whole “not voting on voting day” is what has her in a knot.

Elsewhere Boogie and Howie discuss Howie’s favorite challenges from season 6. There was one in particular where he felt like “Superman and Peter Pan all in one.” Everyone’s acting super nervous and agitated. “Something’s gonna jump off,” someone says. It seems so! Erika and Janelle join everyone outside. James gets called to the DR. George looks generally confused, as he does. Danielle falls into a coma.


Zzzzzzzzzzz

George fixes the badminton net. As a side note, the houseguests pronounce badminton like “Bad Mitten.” Must be an American thing. Howie works out across the yard. The light is painfully bright. This angle of the house reminds me of an elementary school.


“You’re OK, Georgie,”

When we return we see Diane, staring creepily at the camera as she perches on the pool table, but the audio is on Danielle and Boogie. Danielle asks if “Cory” was in the Diary Room when Boogie was in there, and whether she gets him stuff if he asks for it. Oooh! This is just like Prison Break! Unfortunately it was someone else, so no secret headbands stitched with coded cheat sheets to the Veto competition baked in cakes for Boogie. Boogie says something about CBS wireless, it gets downloaded to your phone. “Click on updates, Chicken George’s diary, something like that.” It’s as though he’s trying to sell them on something. Suddenly there’s no sound, so this will remain a mystery. When it comes back, Danielle says, “I hate this game.”


I’m stealing your soul through the internet

Then suddenly we’re in the bathroom and presented with this:


They’re totally BFFs.

Yes, that’s right; Howie is shaving George’s shoulders, back, and upper torso. Of all the activities and all the people in the house right now, the camera folk pick this? Like, oh my god. Ah, it’s getting worse and worse. I won’t give you any more details. Oh…..Oh. Excuse me while I vomit blood. Oh, to make all the better, Boogie was in the shower this whole time and has now emerged blabbering on and on about his mother’s hips and how he thinks he’s getting ripped but the hips and my god he’s obsessed with those hips. Then for whatever reason Erika happens by to cup his breasts.


It rubs the lotion on it’s skin…

Oy, the shaving of George goes on forever. Howie accuses him of trying to cut his own hair earlier, when in actuality it is apparent that Howie took a chunk out by accident when being a bit overzealous with the clippers. George says if there’s hair missing he doesn’t care, it’ll grow back. Good, if he doesn’t care, he won’t feel the need to wear that afro again. Anyways this grooming goes on forever and ever, Janelle happens in and out, then we head to the big bed bedroom (the red room? Is everything red? I’d say so).

Oh brother. James, Boogie, Marcellas, and…Erika I think, she’s too blended into the furniture again. I hear Danielle’s voice so she’s there too. Boogie is talking about his stupid restaurants and going on and on about sacrifices and giving up his entertainment pursuits for the launch of his restaurants in Atlanta. Coincidentally James is from Atlanta so he could totally help out, it’d be so cool! He can totally hire all of them and it’ll be awesome. *Heave* Erika just says, “Why is this house so fucked up?” Even though it was a lame one, way to stay on topic, Erika. She is so insightful. James thinks they’re going to have a Jeopardy! type challenge. They all chatter about someone coming back, or someone who was never in the house to start with coming in, somehow tied to the eviction and their lack of voting. This is all speculation, and there’s a lot of disagreement as to what might happen. James says he never drinks alone. He won’t drink when he goes to dinner with Sarah and he doesn’t really want to drink in the house. He is too self conscious to ever drink unless he’s “out, out.” Boogie complains that they can’t get more alcohol, and a knife for Christ’s sake. He says one would think BB would trust this particular group. James says Sarah saw a commercial just before he left involving Julie Chen saying, “These houseguests have no idea what they’re in for!” so he anticipates twists. Sharp! Although he is seeming less surly at the moment so let’s just be grateful for what we get.

We’re now in the HOH room, it appears Janelle is asleep, and now one else is in there. She has Doritos. Oh, she’s not alone, someone’s in her shower. I think it’s Howie. Well at least he’s showering after that whole George incident. Oh, now we flash to the main bathroom and James is telling Diane to talk to Danielle. BB tells the houseguest to check the storage room. Kaysar is washing something in the kitchen sink, and leaves the fridge door open as he does so. Doesn’t he know California is having a power crisis right now? Selfish.


Plain selfish.

The red room crew plays cards, and of course no one knows what’s going on and the rules keep changing. Erika gives the sage advice that you always discard. When you have your turn, you pick from the pile. You look at your cards. You can either play, put down a set, or just discard if you don’t have anything. But you always discard. I don’t know what they’re playing but I hope she’s right.


Go Fish!

OK, they’re playing Rummy Club. Is that real? Well, it seems to be to them, and that’s all that matters I guess.

***an eternity elapses***

Still with the cards, all four feeds, cards cards cards. Marcellas is all, “This is fun guys.” Danielle asks George if he’s catching on. He will, pretty quick, he says. Marcellas says Erika has been to his house for parties and they played Rummy Club and he can never remember how to play. Hey, that’s like me and crib, and way to give away your preexisting relationship. More card playing follows.

Oh! They got alcohol! Danielle got her wine. Well, thank god, meltdown avoided. This mysterious “Cory” in the DR must really be a legit hookup. Perhaps she can get them producer uniforms and they can escape with the competition setup crew, only after following a carefully devised, intricate plan with many unexpected twists, turns, setbacks, and a little romance along the way.

We now join James and Diane in the bug room. Diane argues that she shouldn’t go, because the original nominees should be the ones to go, not the veto victim (good argument, spazz). She really wants to make it to sequester because that money alone will change her life. Right now all she owns is a fucking car. Howie comes in and says she has a sexy tummy and he’d lick every inch of her for hours. He plays the boob size guessing game. Since Diane’s primary purpose in being here is to have an income, I would consider this workplace sexual harassment. He goes on about her boobies, and James starts mentally preparing a statement for his meeting with human resources over the matter. Diane asks why she can’t get guys. They get scared, she figures. She says Drew was awesome but also a bit retarded. James asks whether he bored her to death and she nods.

Then there’s more cards upon cards upon cards. Nothing much is happening now. Will, Erika, and Janelle are hanging out just outside the HOH room, lying on the floor. I guess Erika gave up on the cards. Oh, Howie’s there too, but he’s been pretty quiet.



OK well apparently I fell asleep during the droning staircase conversation. It’s now the next morning, 6:15 to be exact. Kaysar is in the kitchen leaving the fridge door open again while Janelle is chatting with Will about a huge Thanksgiving Day sale at some store. They’re up late! They’re going to be tired for tonight’s live show! Janelle thinks BB will definitely wake them up by 11 to start cleaning and stuff. Will says he’s depressed. Janelle says she’s never been as depressed as she is now. Will is hungry.

That's all for now. Until next time, keep fit and have fun!
