#49 - Big Brother - Season 11, Episode 15

Natalie to Chima after the Nomination Ceremony: “Your speech was classy!” What the hell? Classy? Of course, this is Natalie talking. Something tells me she didn’t take Advanced English, back when she was a young schoolgirl (meaning yesterday). Nat probably thinks “100 Bottles of Beer on the Wall” is pretty fancy, too, ‘cause it rhymes and all.

Jeff gets called to the Diary Room, and instantly paranoid Jessie is convinced that Jeff has the Wizard Power, and he races to tell Natalie and Chima. (Dude, chill. It’s true, but chill.)

Jessie in the Diary Room: “I have to win POV because of the secret wand thing.” Yes, you probably should. But we don’t want you to win. So shut up.

Russell meets with Jeff. Russell: “Let me be on your team.” Jeff: If he wins POV, “I’ll take you off, but you gotta stick with us.” Kind of boring, but I’m mentioning it on purpose, keep reading.

Russell tries to get back on Michelle’s good side, while playing pool. He hems and haws but doesn’t really get to the point, so Michelle forces it: “What do you wanna ask me, Russell?” When he starts laying out strategy, and she doesn’t quite agree to the plan, he gets all overheated , loses control of that mouth of his, and they go at it.

Seems they are still stuck on that “he said/she said” fiasco about what happened with the Chima discussion. Okay, we know Michelle did lie, and deserves some fault for that, but she didn’t start OUT lying, she only went there when Russell twisted her words in front of Chima. And now they’re both playing frustrating word games. It ends with Michelle storming off and into the house. Smooth, Russell.

And Michelle? Quit lying. Just because you scrunch up your face in that ugly way like you don't know what people are talking about when you are confronted, the lies don't go away. Sayin.

Chima, Natalie and Michelle in the HOH Room. Michelle is fussing bout Russell and his ways, and Natalie blurts out “That’s how I feel about Jessie!” Say what? Nat, if you could just pull your suction-cup lips off his ass for half a second, you might be able to clearly hear him and have a better relationship.

Chima: “Let’s get all the men out of the house!” She keeps going there. Serious? Not serious? Can’t go more than three minutes without hearing herself talk so she just blurts out whatever?

Then Russell and Michelle get into it again, this time much worse, but Russell is far more at fault in this round. He’s downright mean and goes too far. And all over nothing, really. At this point, I don’t think either one of them really remembers exactly what was said when it all went down.

Sidebar while watching the show: As I’m babbling about Russell and his yelling, Terry pointed out that Evel Dick yelled at everybody during his season, and he WON. But Evel had a plan, most of the time. His yells were strategic, and they worked. Russell’s just a hothead who loses all concept of strategy when he gets emotional.

Time to pick players for POV, and when Russell draws a “houseguest’s choice”, he picks Jeff over Jessie or Natalie. A little bold, but no big surprise, really. To us, anyway. But Jessie is stunned. (In the Diary Room: “I guess it’s the end of the road with Russell.”) Ya think? Wake up.

The actual POV competition involves being the first to successfully maneuver and transport a dozen eggs. Natalie completely sucks at it. (Send the floater home. Now.) Surprisingly, Kevin is really good at this, and it comes down to a race between him and Russell. Russell, because he can’t control himself, gets hateful and starts yelling at Kevin, trying to throw him off. But Kevin wins. With his little Asian hands.

Kevin in the Diary Room: Knows that Lydia is going to expect him to pull her off the block, but “I have to think for myself.”

Lydia in the Diary Room, wearing an outfit that either means “Queen of Sheba” or “I Dream of Jeannie”, not sure: Kevin BETTER pull me off.

Russell in the Diary Room: “I need to make some drastic moves.” (???)

Kevin and Lydia, with Kevin gently letting her know that he may not use the POV, he needs to meet with Chima and the others to discuss. Lydia is none too pleased. (Well, hell, girl, there’s some strategy to it, and at least he had the decency to tell you. Would your lover-boy Jessie do that?)

Russell meets with Jessie, and, amazingly, throws JEFF under the bus. (“Jeff is gunning for you.“) While somewhat true, this makes no sense. What is Russell doing? Did I miss something?

Jessie immediately races to Jeff, and spills about Russell. (This at least makes more sense, Jessie’s just trying to gain favor with Jeff. Jessie will sleep with anybody.)

Then Jessie flat-out lies to Jordan, trying to stir her up against Russell. Thankfully, in the Diary Room, Jordan: “I don’t trust Jessie.” Yay.

Jordan and Jeff, with Jordan wondering why Jessie is “being so nice to them”. Jeff: He’s trying to get the votes to make sure Russell goes out of here. And if she wins POV next week (it COULD happen, people), who should she put up? Jeff: “Natalie against Jessie.” Can I get a hallelujah?

Then we have Russell going off on Chima, again, and this one turns into a total blow-out. Again, it’s not really important WHAT they are fighting about, more crap with both of them telling half-lies and waving body parts. Chima starts screaming that he’s a terrorist. (What the hell?) She really goes off: “A woman is sending you home!” and “Grow a pair!”.

Whew.

A few scenes with the winners of the Luxury Competition watching “The Goods”. Completely boring, but we have to get through it, because the advertisers are paying for this part.

Lydia (still wearing the Queen of Sheba getup) and Russell, with Lydia babbling that she thinks Kevin won’t use the Veto. Then she starts playing Russell and trashing Kevin. (See, the second her “sugar bear” doesn’t do exactly what she wants, she turns on him. Over her.)

Kevin walks in on the end of this, and asks Lydia to come talk with him. He tries to explain why not using the Veto is in his best interest right at the moment, she has to realize that it’s strategy. And of course she doesn’t get it. (Because it’s about him, not her.) She gets bitchy, even though, once again, he’s doing the right thing by talking to her about it instead of just stabbing her in the back like most would.

And listen, girl, why aren’t YOU doing something to save your ass? Never mind who’s got the Wizard Power, what you should be focused on right now is what you know for sure, that you and Russell are on the block. Go with that. Quit feeling sorry for yourself, get up off your tattooed ass, and go campaign against Russell in case the nominations stand. Geez.

Lydia in the Diary Room: If Kevin doesn’t use the POV, she may not fight to save him when HE needs it. Really? And how would you fight? What have you won? What have you DONE, period? And you think it’s going to be easier for you if your one friend in the house is gone?

We get to the POV Ceremony, Kevin explains that it was a hard decision, and then he does not use the Veto. And of course Lydia is furious about it. On the other hand, Chima is looking so self-satisfied that I think her grinning teeth could blind an entire small country.

We end with Jessie in the Diary Room, also furious. He’s cussing America for not picking HIM to get the Coup d’Etat. (Note to Jordan and Jeff: I’m talking about the “wizard power” thingy here.) How could they possibly NOT pick him?

Jessie. Dude. You do not walk on water. (The size of your ego would cause you to sink immediately, and the impact of that weight hitting the bottom of the ocean would cause Atlantis to rise again.) Those temples of worship that you think are being built across the country in your honor? They don’t exist.

And if Jeff decides to play Harry Potter on Thursday? Your days are numbered. In fact, we might even be counting the MINUTES until you walk out the door.

Hee hee.
