There wasn't a lot of variety in this episode, it was pretty much centered around the POV competition, so forgive me if I'm lacking material tonight. I have to be honest, I was looking forward to seeing a pleased Eric in the Diary Room when he received his America's Player task. He finally pulled through with Dustin's eviction, and he deserves a week off in my opinion. The woobie task would not have gone over well had we chosen, say, Dick. Oh my God, can you imagine if we'd chosen Dick? Or Zach? That would have made no sense at all. "I hate you, Zach. Please, have my woobie." Anywho, it was surprisingly sweet when he gave it to Jess. They actually appear "cute" to me. Pause. You didn't think I'd just sit here and praise Eric all night, did you? A conversation sparked during the airing of tonight's episode, and I felt the need to bring it to the blog. So here goes, and please, leave a comment with your opinion on the matter. Why does everyone (houseguests and viewers alike) constantly judge and talk trash on Daniele for "cheating" (it's a matter of opinion) on her boyfriend with Nick, when Eric has an equally "inappropriate" relationship with Jessica and had a girlfriend at home. Notice how I italicized the word "had?" Yeah, I major in subtlety. I noticed that his "girlfriend's" myspace recently underwent a few changes. He was basically erased from it--no more pictures of him, no more blogs about him, she's suddenly single (although, I can neither confirm nor deny that her previous status was set at 'In A Relationship'), and the only acknowledgement of him is a video from the Early Show back in June. Anyway, my point is there's a double standard. Since Daniele actually talks about her boyfriend, she's a "cheating whore?" But since Eric seems to have forgotten about Cheryl, we can all pretend she doesn't exist? Give me a break. If Daniele's a "slut," then Eric's a pig. So. There.

I'm still a little bit confused about Daniele's plan to backdoor Jen, but I'm beginning to understand her reasoning for it. Jen is a strong competitor, and she will nominate Dick and Daniele if she happens to win HOH. I guess that's enough right there. It was strangely convenient that she wasn't able to compete for POV, but I'm not even going to touch on conspiracy theories. I honestly don't even care if the whole show is rigged. I still love it, and no one will take that away from me! Alright, Daytime Emmy... I thought the POV Competition was pretty hard, because I tend to believe that all people think like me, so I made very extreme guesses. I'm very self-centered. "What percentage of viewers would rather have a beer with Nick than Mike?" One-hundred. "What percentage of viewers think Dustin is a better boyfriend than Joe?" Two. Needless to say, I would never win The Power of 10. Amber was just ridiculous tonight; I'm pretty sure she said "God" or "vision" in every single scene she appeared in. "I wonder why God had it so I didn't win?" Yeah, I thought I was self-centered. At least I don't think God is playing The Sims 24/7 controlling my life.

I have to wonder why Amber was sharing her plans to get Daniele to use the veto on herself with Jameka. "Hey, I'm going to go make sure I'm safe and you're not." Amber, if you're such a giving person, why didn't you try to convince Daniele to save Jameka? Although, I can't say I was disappointed that Amber approached Daniele, because that conversation was P-R-I-C-E-L-E-S-S. The priceless, priceless. It was especially funny that Jameka warned Amber not to agree to anything too extreme beforehand. Why would you offer more than the asking price? "You don't want me to nominate you next week? I'll match that and raise you control over my vote, and safety for the remainder of the game." Not that I believe Amber will stick to her word completely (although, she did swear on her daughter's life), but damn, she's stupid. No, she's stuupid.
