Big Brother 13 - 8/7/11

[CatScratchFever]

What a Rachael Pity Party should have been the EP title. Hopefully she's gone and I hope her dufus fiancé isn't america's choice.

Why didn't Kalia keep Jeff in her back pocket and blindside him if Rachael ger the POV?

I hope Cassi is coming back - she left way too soon.

I hate it how some people take this game so personally. Only one person can win, get over it, you will be targeted, no need to cry.

[stellie93]

I was surprised to see Jordan so weepy and upset. I was thinking the first time she was on she wasn't emotional at all. Now that she's won once, I'd expect her to be even less so. I'd love to see either Brendan or Rachael come back just to see the look on Danielle's face. I hate her. And to help J&J get farther.

She's hungry.

She's tired.

She is now entering week 2 as a Have Not, and it is clearly taking it's toll...

I still don't get Jeff's outrage about the floaters. The veterans had every chance the 1st three weeks to target Porche, Adam, and Shelly and instead they let the floaters stay. Now he's made because someone else won't target the floaters?

[Alfer]

I had to FF through all the Rachael cry-fest...can't stand her whining.

I think I'd actually like to punch her in her face 4-5 times if I saw her with that crybaby face of hers.

[CatScratchFever]

I think she could take you, she's pretty solid.

:)

I'd still put up a good fight...now she'd have to do it topless though.


:D

Her breasts are so hard she would have two new fists to hit you with.

Might want to watch out!

[loubob57]

You'd just have to say "America hates you" and she'd break down into sobs and the fight would be over. :p

[Honora]

When Rachel was having her crying session on the hammock, one of the things she said was something like, "Nobody will hire me." I know that I wouldn't want to hire somebody who can't get along with the rest of the staff, or cries whenever she doesn't get her way. On top of that, Brendon could show up and pound on anybody who "disrespects" her.

Grow up b*tch!

[dirtypacman]

Jeff and Jordan really did not play the right game this week, in fact they played the same game Rachel and Brendan did last years- FLOATERS hear their wrath. I was very surprised that they took that angle when it really just puts a bigger target on their back. K as HOH was actually interesting. I think she sucks as a player but then again sucky players can make it far in BB because of the social aspect and weaknesses are looked at differently.

[ducker]

blah blah blah -- floater this floater that.. If Jeff, Jordan or Rachel were HoH there's no way the would nominate 2 floaters... and even if they did, there would be an excellent chance they would backdoor Kalia or Danielle.

I'm sick of Rachel's FAKE crying.. that's what I'm sick of.. Jordan started sobbing once, for all of a couple of minutes, and her nose was red and eyes actually had tears in them. That's something I can feel compassionate about. Rachel... no, it always looks to be stage crying. I'm surprised no one else calls her out on it in the house.

[jradford]

Not only would they NOT have put up Floaters, they DIDN'T put up Floaters when they were HOH. Every newbie they sent home was a perceived "leader" of the newbies, and the only reason that they (Keith/Cassi/Dom) were singled out of the newbies as targets was because they WEREN'T Floaters.

The "I hate Floaters" talk is so hypocritical and annoying.

[SoBelle0]

I don't take it as hypocritical - it's getting themselves to safety. Isn't that part of the game? Make sure others want everyone out, but ME! :)

They (J/J for example) want to go after the strong leaders - but, when anyone else is in power, THEY (J/J again) may be considered the strong leaders... so, manipulate the ideas and point out that all these floaters need to go.

I don't think of things as hypocrisy in that house. This is what works to advance one's game THIS week, and it may be something else next week. Whatever works is what I bet I'd be spouting. :) I appreciate that someone like Jordan plans/tries to play a clean game - but, it's BB - all honesty all the time is not going to get you very far.

Manipuulaaaation! it's saving your game! :D

I agree with this post completely.

You do and say whatever you need to do or say to survive another week.

That's the game!

I agree but my memory tells me Jeff and Jordan had the exact same conversation between themselves so I think they actually believe it.

Yeah, it would suck if a "floater" won the game but when you're HOH it's almost always a good idea to get rid of a power couple.

If you watch (or read) any of the live feeds or After Dark, you get additional perspective into all the gamesmanship that goes on. The edits on the CBS shows only give you what they want you to see.

There is a LOT more that goes on...

[2004raptor]

I do occasionally read the Spoiler thread for After Dark but nothing more.

Either way I can't imagine it changing my perception (if my memory is correct) that Jeff and Jordan had the same conversation between themselves that they did with Kalia so it seems to me like it wasn't solely a strategy.

Of course, I could be wrong. :D

[pmyers]

I did love Jeff calling out Kalial about her plan. "at least give me that so I don't think I'm totally crazy"...lol

I agree, to a point, but the way Jeff and Rachel talk about how Kalia should be targeting Floaters comes across as "If I were HOH, I would definitely be targeting Floaters, etc..., newbies are so stupid for going after powerful players, etc..." I'm not saying they shouldn't make that argument, especially when they are targets, but I personally think that they actually believe what they are saying, and aren't saying it purely as a strategy. In which case, I find it hypocritical. I'm also not getting on a high horse and complaining about hypocrisy in a game that requires some level of lying/backstabbing/hypocrisy no matter how clean you try play. But if I'm Kalia or Dani or someone else listening to their Floater talk, it would come across as comically insincere.

Great minds... and all that. ;)

For me, and this is just my opinion, that's one of those now that you've said the same thing so many times and so many ways - you start to really feel it. They aren't in power - they need to save themselves - so they say this over and over and over and over and over to anyone who'll listen... and then they start to talk about it amongst themselves. I mean it is all true. Porsche and Lawon haven't done a darn thing - and what other reason can they give to try and get Kalia and Dani to keep them?

But, like you, that's just my take. :)

[SoBelle0]

I totally hear what you're thinking and can see how that is a valid perception.
Oh, and I don't think any of us are trying to get on a high horse...
just regular folk talking about crazy people on a ridiculous game-show! A rather addicting one, at that.

...and to think after the first week, I told my wife, "I don't think I can take it this year. I might be done.":D

I hear ya. :p

But there is not much else to watch during the summer, so what the hell!

[SoBelle0]

I've said that every year since the all-star one that Ninny convinced/forced me to watch. HA! I keed...
I said, "No way will I watch three stinkin' hours of TV a week!"
and, yet here I am. ;) Plus, now I somehow manage to find time to read some of the blather about the happenings on the feeds and AD. How?! No! Why?!

:D

I am very convincing...:D

[bleen]

So anyway, who's everyone voting for to come back? While I would actually rather see Dominic return, the prospect of a Rachel vs. Brendon showdown has me repeatedly voting for him instead :p

[KRS]

Julie said that only once before had the veto been used to take someone else off when the veto winner was on the block.

I guess she forgot about Marcellus and Amy.

NOOOOOooooooooo! Anybody but Brendon coming back please! ;) Especially if Rachel weasels her way out of getting evicted.

[CatScratchFever]

I'll take Cassi FTW

[nyny523]

This could be great TV, though.

Imagine Dani's face!!!!

I agree. I even want Rachel to stay for the long haul. I love hating those two.

[SoBelle0]

I don't want Brendon... But he or Dom, for sure, make the most drama. And we all know these votes are really for fun. Production will decide based totally on potential drama. I'd rather have Bren over Dom, as I don't want Dani to get any help. :evil:

If I voted, though, I'd vote for Cassi. I'd like to see her get to play.

Cassi would bring some drama, too. The girls (other than Jordan) are all very threatened by her...Rachel in particular hated her.

i voted for her the max 10 times i was allowed

[Fool Me Twice]

I'm on the screw Dani's game side. Bring back Brendon.

[dirtypacman]

America thinks similar to us I think. We all would like to see Dominic back but the better drama is bringing back Branden. So I believe it will be Branden vs Rachel for the comeback. Classic in the making problem is one of them will just throw the competition as they will discuss it before or during the competition I would figure.

Tonight will be interesting to see how Kaylia really plays if the Veto is used. Everyone would expect Jordan... we will see.

[uncdrew]

I hear ya. :p

I stopped watching. I can't believe I did, but I did.

I have the last 8 episodes on TiVo. Do I bother? I loved BB up until this year.

[jcondon]

I couldn't stand Dominic. Rather see just about anyone other then him back.

Bringing Brendan back will bring the most drama. Cassie would also introduce a lot of drama with all the woman other then Jordan. They are so catty and insecure.

That I like!! Good thinking martin

[martinp13]

That I like!! Good thinking martinThe problem is that there's more drama if they DO know. So that wins out.
