Big Brother Craze

It cracks me up, every time. Reading live feed recappers and commenters on various sites, and watching them FREAK OUT when it seems things won’t go their way. (Especially at Sucks. That is comedy gold, right there!) EVERYONE knows that the last 48 hours before an eviction, things will flip then flop then flip again. It happens every single week!

Case in point - this week. My take on the last couple of days is as follows:

We left Tuesday’s show, Dustin was a pawn, and America’s Voters were voting en masse to get him out of the house. Dustin was his typically snide, over-confident, I’m better then you self as he strutted around in his kings robe. The feeds went nuts, upset at this even before Eric got his directives. Patience is NOT an American virtue. Heh.

So Eric gets his directives, and starts working (take THAT, nay-sayers!) on Jessica and presenting the options. They don’t decide anything definitive yet, and the Voters start screaming RIGGED! AUGH! (Where if it WERE rigged, it would be in their favor this week, no? Yes. Relax, darlings!) Then there are talks with the LNC, where Eric seems completely on board with getting Dick out. This is called CYA, people. No use making the next 24+ miserable!

There are talks by Dick and Daniele with Jessica, and again with Eric, and still no definitive yes or no on this deal. Feeders go NUTS. I cackle quietly into my hand.

Late last night, Eric and Jessica get to talk at last, in depth, in the back yard. This is after a DR session that ended with Eric being rather quiet and contemplative. Interesting. Could this have something to do with the Little Person and Giant Pirate? Who knows… At any rate, after an hour of talk, Erissica agree that teaming up with the Dastardly Donatos is a good, strategic and power play move. They’ll pull in Jen as their third, with the DDs pulling in Zach, and as a group they will vote Dustin out of the game.

There, America - you should be HAPPY now! Cut the kid a break, will ya? Sheesh.

As of this morning, it’s a typical Thursday morning - houseguests are cleaning, Erissica as well, since they have to do Zach and Daniele’s cleaning for the day due to losing at Beer Pong. There hasn’t been any real game talk - though Dustin did just run in to talk to Zach, and Zach flipped him off after he left. Heh.

Oh! And last night, to throw everyone off, Eric and Jen hid things around the house, while Jessica giggled upstairs. Awesome.

So how do you think it’ll turn out? Will Dustin get ousted? Will it be by forced tie, or will they be able to pull Jen and Zach in for sure before it’s all said and done? If a forced tie, will Jessica keep her word to Eric, or go against the Donatos? CAN WE HANDLE THE WAIT?

Nah, me either. Every Thursday I WISH I lived on the East Coast…. (grin) Check back later for the live/Type-Delayed/blogging!
