This was a placeholder episode. With such tumult and drama last week with the unforeseen ouster of Dustin, everyone seemed to need a breather so not much happened tonight. Even Jameka and Amber weren’t much interested in stirring things up with their betrayer, America’s Player Eric. He blew up the last big alliance and destroyed their immediate prospects in this game and they never even raised their voices. This, if nothing else proves how easily they were coasting under Dustin’s wing. They are adrift.

But that’s okay. After the big turn-around in power it will take a few days for the numbers to sort themselves out. Right now things look good for the Dick/Daniele and Eric/Jessica alliance. But this is clearly a short term deal no matter how many times they might promise to take each other to the final four. After this week, the loose players will need to pick sides because this group of four will not insulate itself from outside influence or suspicion. Sooner rather than later it will occur to Dick or Daniele or Eric that they are better off taking out the other strong duo in the house. I don’t believe Jessica thinks much about these things.

After this week’s eviction (I’m going to guess Amber goes because Jameka can’t win HOH and is therefore less of a threat) that will leave Zach, Jameka and my darling Jen as the loosely or completely unaligned. They will realize quickly that they have tremendous power in this situation even of they are outside of the powerful alliance. Yes, this will even occur to my obtuse object of desire Jen. Her empty head can hold a lot of stuff and this is almost perfectly sized to fit in the vastness between her ears.


Zach is basically with Jessica and Jameka would return to her as well despite the move to evict Dustin. Jen would stick with Dick and Daniele if they could get her further along but she is a cold hearted killer and would switch in a moment. Dick and Daniele should be looking for reinforcements, not alienating them which seems to be what they are going to do. Daniele admitted that her real target for this week isn’t those she nominated but my halfwit hottie. Sure, I fear for my pinhead princess but Jen is a fighter and Dick and Daniele would serve themselves to look down the road before targeting the sultry simpleton.

Strategy and game play aside, the most fascinating revelation this week relates to Amber. No, she isn’t running low on Elavil, Pexeva or Parnate. It seems she might be dumber than Jen. Seriously. A quick list of words that Amber didn’t know the meaning of were: charismatic, ridicule, integrity, outed, perceive, implication and peanut gallery. It appears my ironing board is smarter than Amber. Some feel this type of ridicule lacks integrity but my feeling is that now she has been outed as an idiot, the implication, no matter how we perceive her, is that she is on TV playing giant beer pong for slop as entertainment and we who watch it, call us the peanut gallery if you will, are the real dummies. I stand with you Amber, not against you. I’m a big dummy too.


Both nominees this week curiously claimed to have God on their side. Well, now that a TV set in Southern California has been turned into The Middle East redux, the real battle begins in a week or two as the latest coalition to form heads toward inevitable destruction.

If Amber needs me to translate any of that, I’d be happy to.
