Anyone been watching Big Brother?
Before ya'll make fun of me just remember we all have our "thing", our odd little-I don't know. Anyway, I watch it and it's not hurting anyone (so don't flame me over it).

Just wanted to post a video of one of the funniest moments ever on the show.

I really can't stand her. Supposedly she's been "coached" by Dr. Will and Mike Boogie.

1. Yes, I've been watching.
Jen's little meltdown would have put her on the fast track to eviction if I were HOH.

2. But she's kissing Kail's rear
and has been the entire time.

And did you read any of the crap about Carol's dad? I thought I'd heard the name before!

3. Ew, no. I hadn't heard that.
Yuck.

I'm also not a fan of Kail's.

5. Kail's a homophobe.
I'm not a fan of hers by any means.

Can't wait until she finds out that Nick is, at the very least, bisexual. She stays away from Joe and Dustin, who are quite open (obviously).

6. I like Nick, and I think I like Zach and Mike too, but we'll see.
I do not, however, think much of "America's Player" Eric. If he's "America's Player", why didn't we get to choose who would be the one?

9. Nearly everyone in the house adores Nick on the live feeds.
Dustin, Amber and Joe have huge crushes on him, Zach says that if he ever wins HOH he wants Nick to service him in the room, Daniele has a bit of a crush, Kail just stares at him, Jen is jealous that he doesn't fawn over her, etc.

And Nick has admitted to once servicing a guy. Bet they don't mention that on television but it's all over YouTube.

And Eric was the wrong choice. 90% of his rants cannot be aired. Truth be told, Dick is the star of the season. He's pure gold on the live feeds.

10. I think I'm going to have to subscribe to live feeds.
Nick is my daughter's fave so far.

14. You can get up to 14 days free
if you look around. After that you sometimes can stumble upon some decent discounts.

And be prepared for the raunchy language on the feeds.

21. Then look around for a good deal.
Google "SuperPass" and see what kind of deal you get.

20. She lives about 30 minute from my house.
Two minutes on google and I had her phone #, address, location of her Bed and Breakfast, and basically all of her info. She lives right outside of one of the most militant gay-friendly cities in this country.

Saying what she did fucking insane.

22. Supposedly,
half the town works for her but then she changes her mind and says that her husband was laid off.

Can't keep her story straight, can she.

24. Awesomeness, I just called a friend who lives near her B&B..
Edited on Mon Jul-09-07 11:23 PM by Omphaloskepsis
People have started posting "Gays not welcome" signs outside of her businesses.

25. That is funny.
It'll ruin some of her business. She said once that she was only on the show to pay off some business debts.

26. It isn't really a town..
Edited on Mon Jul-09-07 11:35 PM by Omphaloskepsis
Half of the workers in the town is a dozen. The town is four businesses and it is mostly houses populated by people that work in Eugene.

Edit :: Mary's Pie Shack employees can't afford $400,000 houses on the river.

27. I figured it wasn't much.
I wanted to ask a relative but hadn't yet. She lives around Eugene.

In other words, Kail is just a braggert.

7. Yeah, I've watched
Edited on Mon Jul-09-07 10:41 PM by mvd
Some observations:

- Daniele's dad is creepy and delusional. If I was Daniele, I might humor him a bit
- I don't like Kail, Carol, or Jen. Despite what you said about Carol's politics, though, Kail nominated Carol. So maybe politics won't play much of a role.
- I think the gay guys and their feud are annoying, and Big Brother shouldn't be presenting them this way. It feeds the bigots.
- Eric, America's player, at least seems like an undercover type. I couldn't get into the voting site last night, though.
- I haven't found anyone to root for yet

11. On the feeds (w/o giving away too much)
Dick is actually the funniest guy there and has the best game of all. Allison Grodner, of course, is choosing what she wants us to see but Dick has figured out every single alliance so far in the house and has an alliance with everyone in the house. He's a smart player and he talks about Daniele to every person there, asking them to keep an eye on her for her health. (He's worried that she's too thin and wants to see her eat.)

The feud is Joe and just Joe. Dustin tries his best to distance himself from Joe but Joe's still in love with Dustin. On the feeds Dustin is another voice of reason and seems to get along well with almost everyone in the home.

Eric is an ass on the live feeds. He's funny sometimes but nearly 90% of what he says and does cannot be shown on television.

12. I don't know - I just don't like Dick
Edited on Mon Jul-09-07 11:02 PM by mvd
I've followed comments on the feeds on a Big Brother message board, and he doesn't even have my kind of humor. And that proves my point about Joe and Dustin. They are being presented like they both are the spectacle of the house. Like they don't have other sides. I don't mind Dustin as much as Joe.

16. I don't know if I'd like Dick as a person
but as a player I think he'll do quite well for himself, if he can keep it up.

And I feel bad for Dustin. Joe has admitted to this being "his show" and that he thinks that Dustin is ruining it for him.

18. (SPOILER QUESTION)
Edited on Mon Jul-09-07 10:56 PM by mvd
Was the power of veto used or not?

I actually think this season could be kind of unpredictable with the different personalities. That could be worth watching. I was disappointed in the All Stars season.

23. I don't know.
I didn't have the feeds on this evening so I missed something.

I did have them on when Daniele called out Nick and informed him that he was gay. He didn't deny it.

13. Joe bugs the living daylights out of me.
I'd guess he must be alienating just about everyone.

"This was supposed to be MY TIME! It's about ME ME ME ME ME! Why did Dustin have to come along and ruin MY MOMENT IN THE SUN?!"

17. Joe's clap
and his enormous nipples.

I can't look at him anymore when his shirt is off.

8. That was the funniest thing I've ever seen
I don't feel bad about laughing either, since they have to dredge the bottom of the barrel to get contestants for that show.

she's Vanna White's nanny.

It just gets funnier.
