Big Brother Craze

…can you BELIEVE that? And today’s theme seems to be “Bitter, party of One.”

After going to bed last night sobbing that she wanted to go home, crying herself to sleep after her campaigning to the boys to get to the Final Two, she woke up this morning with a Light Bulb Moment.

A dim light bulb, but whatever. Let’s tuck it under the cut, hm?

Earlier Ryan asked him if “they” (DR) had tried to tell him he owed her something. Adam replied that he wasn’t listening, they could say whatever they wanted. He tells Ryan not to get worried. Outside, he whispers to Sheila that he doesn’t know what he’s going to do, and then Sheila counters quickly that it’s interesting that Ryan is a lot like Natalie, saying if he loses to Adam… Adam replies “Yeah, Spiteful prick.”

Hm.

Ryan breaks up the little talk, and moments later Sheila is asking BB through her mic to call Ryan into the DR so that she can talk to Adam, tell him what she learned last night, because Ryan is so far up Adam’s behind she can’t get close.

In reply, BB Calls an outdoor lockdown. Hah.

Sheila won’t be swayed though, and begins to campaign again. She brings up what Julie said about sitting next to someone you can beat, or someone who deserves it. She goes on and on, and it seems her real point is to call out Ryan for saying he won’t vote for Adam if Adam takes Sheila F2 instead of him - she tells him that’s a sour grapes attitude and he shouldn’t be thinking like that, that she’ll vote according to her heart and who she believes deserves it without bitterness. She stays positive, and tells them she loves them and wishes them luck.

What did she accomplish? I have no idea.

After the lockdown, Adam is sleeping, and Ryan is nervousing over the scriptures, so Sheila decides it’s time for a monolog. She checks to make sure Ryan the Producer is listening, faces away from the door so if the boys peek they can’t see she’s talking to herself, and she decides to ’sum it up for you’ right then and there.

The basic rundown: She gets it - if Ryan doesn’t win against Adam, he feels Adam should take him to the final two and if Adam doesn’t, he loses Ryan’s vote. So what does that mean? That means Ryan doesn’t have his back, has sour grapes, and is a “big frickin bully.” Talk about threatening people… so if Adam wins going up against you he doesn’t deserve the money? I told Adam all along I’ll vote for him - why won’t Ryan, because he can’t beat him? So that’s what Julie meant. I get it. How do I explain it to Adam before the competition? I don’t know, because Rye-bread is guarding him like a frickin pit bull. Ryan producer, I get what you were saying last night. But I don’t know how to make Adam get it, unless Ryan goes into the DR for a half an hour. Ryan doesn’t think Adam deserves the money if Adam beats him and takes me. What a poor sport. If anyone deserves it, it’s Adam. Or me. Ryan hasn’t been a stand up guy. He’s been a bully this whole game. HE won’t let me get anywhere near Adam. I just need to tell him the truth. Sorry I didn’t get it last night, I get it now. Your bro doesn’t have your back Adam. Talk about a threat! Ugh! I hate this game. These people suck. Even if I don’t get picked, I’m giving you the money Adam.

Silence settles. Sheila remains outside sunning, while the boys are inside off camera, while I ponder if telling that to Adam, if he thinks about it, gives him more reason to boot her off -she’s a guaranteed vote for him in sequester, and Ryan would be questionable. So sit Ryan next to him, and get Sheila’s vote… and whomever else she can convince that Ryan is a bully.

So - here’s MY question for you folks stopping by… are the houseguests interpreting the comment by Julie correctly? The question was - do you want to sit next to someone who you can beat, or someone who deserves it? Everyone says someone who deserves it - but are basing that on things OUTSIDE OF THE GAME.

Sheila thinks she deserves it because she’s a single frickin mom who’s 46 with a son and a unclosed book deal and her life is HARD dammit, Jim, HARD! This kind of thinking - the ‘you owe me’ mentality drives me nuts. I’m a widowed mother of three who’s 38 and I take care of my own damn self - ya’ll don’t owe me a thing. Life is hard. Get used to it. You deserve what you fight for.

So let’s bring that word into context - who DESERVES to with this game, according to GAMEPLAY. Adam and Ryan, between them, have held the most HOHs, and won the most competitions. They’ve been instrumental in ridding the house of their competition by themselves and through aligning with each other against common enemies - including using the girls for the same purpose. They might not be nice about it - might even be a “big frickin bully” from time to time, but that’s what it takes to play this game, and they’ve done it well. Differently - but well. Adam stayed under the radar for a good portion and has played to the jury as they exit. Ryan has bulled his way through, bloodied his hands and taken his lumps for it, winning when the time was right and making the most of his times in power. Sure, he got a little power-trippy, but he still played the game.

What has Sheila done? Honed her sense of entitlement? Clung to shirttails and hid behind Adam? Campaigned for whatever benefited her at the moment, then told everyone -especially Adam - they owed her? She’s won nothing - but that in itself isn’t inherently bad. It’s her sense of entitlement, that we OWE her this victory for essentially stirring up a hornets nest on occasion that bugs the hell out of me. Does she DESERVE this money just because she’s still there - as they all brought her along because they knew she could be beat?

So tell me - who, of the final three - do you think DESERVES the money, and why? I really want to know what you think, so hit up that comment form down there, hm?
