Talk about a late blog. I apologize for taking a billion hours to finally post this, but I didn't have Wi-Fi access this weekend. Although, it was nice to be able to just watch the show and go to bed. Because I'm 90 and go to bed at 9. Anyway, I was most looking forward to watching Kail's reaction to Dick's HOH win (as if I hadn't seen enough on the feeds), and it was surprisingly annoying. I was sure I'd be reveling in her pain, but how happy can one person be when they're betting on the next time someone will say "betray?" I don't know how Kail thought anyone would have sympathy for her when she's basically telling them, "I had an alliance you weren't in." I totally got Dick's Why-Are-You-Telling-Me-This reaction. I think she dug herself a deeper hole than she was already in, and her only chance of lasting another week will be the veto. Although, I don't blame her for selling the boys out. It certainly didn't save her ass, but it sucker punched them on her way out. And that, my friend, is how you play Big Brother.
How about them fillers? Was there absolutely no action in between the HOH competition and the nominations that they had to take footage from literally weeks ago to fill up the episode? How long ago did Eric and Jen wrestle? I was surprised Carol wasn't standing in the background. And Daniele cried to Dick days before Joe was evicted. Although, I'm glad they decided to put that into the episode, because I think it was a rather heartwarming moment. Heavily edited, yet heartwarming. I have to wonder, though, what the straw was that broke the camel's back. Clearly something happened to spark those tears, and I'm not going to make any libelous statements, but there's nothing wrong with speculation. She's obviously feeling guilty about something, but who knows? Maybe she just has a guilty conscious. In any event, it must have made Dick feel so good knowing that she felt like she could come to him. He tries so hard, and he's getting somewhere. Slowly but surely, he's getting somewhere.
I wasn't really surprised by nominations, just more relieved (I really didn't know before the episode!). CBS really had me going for awhile that Dick might decide not to nominate Jen. And despite Kail's "convincing" words about how she's "not a threat," I was sure she was going up. Dick had his mind made up before he even won HOH. Good for him for not letting people change his mind with their mumbo jumbo. Kail's reaction was beyond annoying--"It stinks bein' up there with Jen." Oh, really? Up there with your friend? Try it with your daughter, and then get back to me. As long as Kail doesn't win veto, I'm pretty sure I'll be naming this week my favorite of all time. Mhmm, my life is that empty. This is true.
