I'll be honest, I subscribe to the Live Feeds, and Goddamnit, I'm addicted to them. So when this episode started up right where the last one ended, it was just like, "Old newwwws!" Especially because everything in this episode happened before the Live Feeds were ever even turned on! Things should be normal by Tuesday; Thursday at the latest. I can finally use my screencaps that actually appeared in the episodes, too. So bear with me! Through this troublin' time we have been afflicted with. For visual effects, imagine me saying those last two sentences on my way through the underground railroad. Oh my God, where am I going with this? How did I get so off-task? Is this even considered a blog anymore? Enough of this nonsense! I haven't even explained why a picture of Dick is sitting beside this text.
Blog. Starts. Here. So CBS used their classic black-and-white-to-color effect multiple times this episode, and wrapped up the enemies reactions to seeing each other's pretty little faces straight away. Joe and Dustin's looked rehearsed, and Carol and Jessica's was less than exciting. But it was Dick and Daniele's reunion that really pulled at your heart strings (or possibly made you hate Daniele with a rage you've never felt before). To be honest, I feel for both sides. Dick was an irresponsible parent, but he clearly wants to mend his relationship with his daughter. Daniele has felt neglected and wants Dick to know it. It isn't often I can understand and agree with both sides, but mostly I want Daniele to let her guard down and give Dick a chance. Whoa. I'm becoming disgustingly serious here, and I just don't like it. So...blah, blah, Jack Skellington, blah, blah, Keith Richards. I feel much better now.
Jen. Is that enough? Can I just say her name? Do I even need to explain here? Now, I've gotten pretty upset over photos before. To the point of hyperventilation, mucus, and rosacea--wait, did I say I've done that? I meant nobody. Except apparently Jen. She broke the mold. The first person ever to embarrass herself completely by not only pointing out how terrible her picture was to everyone in the house, but following that up with sobbing, which had to make everyone horribly uncomfortable. But when doesn't Jen make everyone horribly uncomfortable? It's like there's a little sensor in her brain that only lets the attention shift from herself for a maximum of 5 seconds. I can only imagine the ridiculous thoughts running through her mind as they all looked at the memory wall. "Oh, shit. Joe just complimented Nick's picture. Let's see... Did I tell them what shampoo I use to keep my hair shiny, yet? Maybe I can do my Billy Joel impression... I know! I'll start crying!" Do you still like her? CBS knew that might be a possibility, so they threw in the food competition scene where she tells Dick, politely I might add, "Don't be a scraper." Then she really charms our pants off in the Diary Room by saying she didn't "want an old man rubbing his hands all over my body." Alright, badonkadonk butt.
OK, forgive me. I pre-judged Kail (but isn't that my job?). Maybe not all redheads are evil (just most of them). But c'mon! Can you really blame me? CBS really misrepresented her in that first episode. She should sue for slander, by the way. Slander? Misrepresentation? It doesn't matter. What matters is, she currently holds the key to my heart. It's true. She stole it, and I couldn't be happier. But for real, I didn't expect there to be any smart players this season (did you?), and she totally proved me wrong. I expected this, as well, but what I didn't expect was this adorable "My Boys" alliance. That's what I'm calling it. Even if it doesn't catch on. Even if Julie Chen said, "Anyone who calls this alliance The My Boys Alliance is a butthead." I'd still say it. Because I am true to my word. That's just how I roll. In all seriousness, though (is anyone taking me seriously?), I'm really rooting for Kail and the Three Amig--I mean, The My Boys Alliance.
