Finally an entertaining episode!

I haven't been following BBAD or the internet updates,...
but Dan's hug was great, the fight was great... and ooooh poor michelle with the unitard... did she really think no one was going to take the trip from her.

I hope Jesse goes, but he does create drama and has a lot dumb one-liners.

"With $500,000 you can buy Hawaii" hah!

Best. Birthday. Song. Ever.

:D

And why the hell did Libra trade the leotard with Michelle? Hello! April with the fantastirack is sitting closer to you! Dumb bitch.

I was hoping she would have gave it to Jesse. I would have liked to see him humiliated before he gets evicted thursday

Jesse: "Wa wa wa you woke me up again."

Michelle: "RAAARRRRRR! They got prizes and all I got was this stupid leotard? Godzilla smash!"

Jesse is such a moron. In a way I feel bad for him... actually, that was a lie.

Now I wish she could have given the unitard to Keesha... :D That could have made this the best season EVER!

This week I actually like Jessie. I mean Keesh and Libra were yelling at him and he was actually staying calm and all he did was go tell April what was going on which is his strategy. I did not notice Keesha saying stuff about Memphis and stephen but I wasn't really paying attention.

They aired the singing, I was surprised!

Lets see I am starting to hate Libra. I thought she would trade it for the letter, hasn't she also been whining about missing home as well or is that all other houseguests?

I guess the hatchet isn't buried between Memphis and Jerry, I would have given Libra slop.

Michelle did over react but I think she is just so fed up with most of the house guests.

Also good job Dan, good choice for America's Player. I wonder if the house will find out after this week or if it will be done at the very end. Either way it will hurt his game. End of this week they learn he gets money (20k is it?) or end of the show his vote is our vote and might actually make it the first non unanimous vote.

Einselen

I thought for sure that whoever ended up with the leotard was also going to get $. It makes no sense to ask if she wants to keep the leotard or trade it for something else. Of course she's not going to keep the leotard. I did actually feel sorry Michelle, she got royally screwed.

The problem with this game is that it was stacked. In previous seasons they random choose a box and get the prize inside, this time they had specific prizes for specific finishes. I did like that the $10k could be used anyway you want and you could use it to bribe. I wonder if the person who gets part of it next can use it as well until people are evicted holding the money, that would be a fun little twist going on now.

I knew Jessie was good for some drama. Put the boy up every week! I laughed my ass off during the birthday song with everyone's hang dog faces.. lol

newsposter

08-06-2008, 07:30 AM

so how much did that song cost BB anyway?

The fighting it so stupid but i've never lived in a house like that so maybe it's to be expected. Of course thats why they pic young emotional people, for drama. I just laugh when i see stuff like this figuring who cares what is said about you? They will believe what they want anyway so let em.

When things die down and someone rekindles them is 'who' i think really shows the true colors. Also michelle showed her true colors in the diary room..that was more than disappointment in her performance...that was outright rage and over a stinking what, 5K trip?

are they allowed to bring in earplugs, i think America should vote to give poor jess some so he never has to listen to anyone again

by the way, why arent there any deaf people on this show ever?

08-06-2008, 08:55 AM

They probably felt it was worth it to pay the royalty this time, because all that yelling and arguing, then singing Happy Birthday, then right after they start arguing again was hilarious!

pmyers

08-06-2008, 10:16 AM

Yeah...best birthday song ever! Totally awkward. And then Libra asking "who wants cake?" LOL

I guess it was worth it to them to pay the royalty as they made them stop singing for Renny's birthday.

I too, did love the $10k award and how they can use it in the game. I didn't quite hear/understand the rules they added to it though...something about 1 bar per week? Anybody else catch that?

I surely hope Michelle was just temporarily upset and understands that anybody else would have made the same trade, including her. It was just part of the game.

How was she screwed? She was the second person out of the game and didn't deserve any prize. Either way, she acted like a child not getting their way. She actually threw a temper tantrum all the way to the crying. How embarrassing.

Best line of the night came from Ollie (paraphrased) "They show their true colors when they are offended"

I thought it was something like when a houeguest is evicted in the week each bar the hold is worth $1000. So essentially if Memphis or Jessie get their hands on some bars this week and then are evicted they get $1000 for each one I am not sure I heard a limitation on how much you could use, but I could be wrong, maybe someone else can chime in or I could go back to my recording.

Also it is interesting that Jerry said to April lets split the money 3 ways. So looks like April has $4000 (I would assume she gets the larger share) and Jerry and Libra both have $3000.

Gotcha...that makes sense. I have to say that I REALLY like that twist.

Just checked. Renny said upon eviction each gold bar is redeemable for $1000. Also said that April had the right to use as fit and it can transferred to any player for any reason. Looks like there are no limitations. I wonder how long this money will be floating around and how it will be used. Could be very very interesting.

She got screwed because she lost the trip and has to wear a leotard. At least when Memphis lost the POV he didn't have to wear a body stocking for a week.

She was kidding herself... How did she think she could be eliminated second to last and keep a nice prize...

The design of this is like the white elephant holiday gift trading that goes on during the December holidays... No one early in the chain ends up with any prize that is worth anything... People always yank them...

She lost the competition, and she had the illusion of getting a great prize as her reward...but in reality, her consequence for losing so early was to see a good prize leave her hands... It's all by design...

Dubbadown

08-06-2008, 12:03 PM

Whatever Michelle got, she deserved. She is by far the most useless, annoying person in the house. Watching BBAD, I knew that she had "won" the unitard, but seeing how she won it just made it priceless. I cannot wait for Thursday, this could be the craziest eviction ceremony ever.

Oh and Dan's hug was great.

Also, for those of you that think Jessie was just the innocent victim and was being calm and rational, aren't really getting the whole story. He deliberately lied and made up stuff to April in order to create the fight. Even in the editing they made it show that Libra and Keesha were talking very loudly but that wasn't the case. He was just stirring up sh*t and it may come back to haunt him.

pmyers

Jessis is strange....he always starts out the week not as the target but then does stupid crap to but himself right in the crosshairs.

MikeekiM

08-06-2008, 12:14 PM

As one of the house guests said, Jesse is so full of himself, and he doesn't even see it...

I love in the diary room when he's talking about the POV challenge results...something about the game being like miniature golf, and how he probably lost because his back was too big/wide... LOL...

And he seems to think everyone else is as vain as he is... When Michelle marches out into the common area in the leotard, his comment was something like "don't worry, your *ss looks great in that leotard...I promise..."

Also, his apology was priceless... "I apologize for being honest and telling the truth..." LOL...

Overall, this was a great TV (I am sure the editors of this episode had a hard time figuring out what jewels to put in front of America)...

That's not getting screwed. That's exactly how the game should play out. She was the second player out. She's delusional for thinking she would get to keep that prize. Or I should say she acted like a child when you take something away fairly. I don't even think she was mad she had to wear the leotard. She was mad because she lost the trip. Memphis got a better prize but not really because he is on the block. Would she rather be on the block and win the slop pass?

Anyone that watches the feeds find out how the 10k got split. Libra should have told Jerry and April to split it since she ended up with the Hawaii trip. Atleast that would be the fair thing to do.

Not a Libra fan, but she won, and you can't blame her for trading up ... altho I would of taken the 10k !!!!

:)

Exactly... you sucked at the challenge and you expect to get rewarded for it?

Come on... get real...

Here is her fantasy:

Congratulations Michelle...by coming in second to last, you've just won a trip to Hawaii!!! Sorry Libra... While you did come in 1st place, you have been rewarded the red leotard... Guess that's just the way the cookie crumbles...

I'm not positive, but what I think happened was that April gave Jerry 4k, gave Libra 1K since she already had the trip, and kept 5k for herself.

I thought it would have been funny if Linbra took the Money from April, then left her with the Leotard.

Since Libra didn't make the deal to "split" she could have easily done this, if she wanted too.

vertigo235

08-06-2008, 03:14 PM

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Michelle the only one that didn't get a reward in the POV game, that is what I meant by her getting screwed. Memphis was the first one out and even he got a slop pass.

Well, Jerry didn't really get a reward, he bargained for it.

The whole point of the game is to entice people to take things OTHER than the veto.

Yea...she really didn't even get a poor reward...she pretty much received a consequence...

But hey...again...second to last... If you want to guarantee yourself a reward...do better in the challenge... She really should not expect anything more than what she got...

How long was the Hawaiian Vacation again? I would think 10k you could buy your own vacation and have some money left over.

Yeah, because someone that just carried twins for 9 months while caring for a 3-year old doesn't deserve some time alone with her husband.:rolleyes:

She couldn't take the $10k bc they had already set the deal to split it. She took the next best thing. I would have, too. So would anyone that has a "rationalized mind." (thanks Jesse!)

My favorite was Michelle thinking her kids should be taken away because she didn't want the letter from home. Give me a break. As a husband, I can say with 100% honesty that if my wife was in that same spot and took the letter from home, my opening line to her would have been: "Why didn't you take the vacation????"

Jebberwocky!

08-06-2008, 05:10 PM

Jerry reminds me so much of my father - the way he interacts with women and people younger then him.

Maybe a coincidence that they were both marines? My dad is 85 and a shell of his former self but growing up and until he was about Jerry's age, it didn't take much to set him off.

I agree. How cold hearted can you be to miss 3 months of your infant's lives to be on a reality TV show? That time is precious and irreplaceable. And then to not even want a letter from home so that you can be reassured there is nothing wrong with them.

08-06-2008, 05:58 PM

Jesse had no reason to go to April. He was pretty safe in my opinion. Instead he makes himself the target. If Keesha and Libra can convince Renny and Jerry to vote for Jesse...

I have to say Jerry is a bit of an a-hole. I'm not Libra's biggest fan, but the way he told her to shutup...man if that was me I would have lit into him myself.

What was with Memphis throwing the PoV? Sure looked that way to me.

Michelle's reaction to the trip was retarded. Memphis rolled his eyes knowing it was going to be taken. What was unbelievable was April keeping the 10K!

The fact that she hasn't heard from them is assurance enough that nothing is wrong.

If people want to judge her for going on a game show when she has infants, that's fine. Personally, I don't find it all that appalling, but that's not the point. She is there, and she is going to play the game. Taking the $10k after making a deal to split it makes no sense. Taking a letter from home over a trip to Hawaii makes no sense. Getting as much as you can for yourself makes sense.

I disagree, Jerry and Libra were left and she knew one of them would take POV and not use it. You could easily offer to split the money, which is what happened and get one of the others to grab the POV.

I could not tell if Libra knew about the deal or not. I couldn't tell how far away she was when Jerry was making his deal/discussion. Also it was just a verbal agreement April does not have to pass it over unless she wants to

supposedly she did give 1k to Libra

I myself think I would have taken the 10k even though April had it.

Snappa77

08-06-2008, 09:11 PM

???????????????????????????

- April keeping the 10k is smart. Also why on earth would she want to give Jesse 10k?

- Libra's kids can write? :rolleyes: They havent been gone for so long that a letter from home is insanely important. I never understood that on these reality shows. Gone 3 weeks and they act like it is 3 yrs. And dont get that being said here by ppl who should know better. C'mon guys. Were you really nodding your head in agreement while Michelle was throwing her wambulance tantrum?!?

- As a few members have pointed out there was talk about a split of the 10k between April Jerry and Libra. Add on the fact that Libra is in an alliance with April AND if the veto got used she could put her up then it makes sense to go for the next best prize. Also she got to give Michelle the shaft by sticking her with the leotard.

- OMG Jesse is in a world of his own. His back was too big for the game???? And all those comments about the whole house is against him when EVERYONE knew Memphis was the target. It is amazing watching this guy week after week being all about him.

- Love the man hug. Tooooooo funny.

- Renny is growing on me. (cant believe I typed that) :D

For me this is the first time in reality TV history that I've done a 180 on someone. That first night I was in total agreement with Jesse that Renny was mental and I couldn't stand her, but that may have been a medication issue, and since then she's been a pretty pleasant house guest.

DancnDude

08-07-2008, 10:22 AM

So April confronts Libra & Keesha about what they said & all of a sudden it's all about who squealed, not about them trash talking.
I started off liking Libra, but wow, she can be really unlikeable. The reverse for Jessie. He's such a complete dufus that I have to like him. Sort of like a movie sooo bad that it's funny.
I was hoping Libra would take the POV & give the unitard to Jerry.

Libra was in the room as well. My guess is that the past few weeks America's Player maybe has been thrown around some and the producers have now edited it in since we have Dan as America's player. Maybe someone watching the live feeds can verify this but even then again they (the houseguests) could be talking about any twists they think will happen, it is not like they have much more to do in the house.

Also speaking of not much more to do in the house BB8 they played Beruit all the time, do these houseguests not have alcohol?
