http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/14/BIG-BROTHER----Samurais-and-Eliminations.aspx This was the defining Power of Veto competition for Zach and Jameka. Their nemeses were the Donatos who had faced similar circumstances and beat the odds and stayed in the game. With four houseguests left, whoever held the veto decided who would cast the one eviction vote and ultimately would decide who was in the &ldquo;Final Three.&rdquo;&nbsp; &ldquo;The Final Three&rdquo; is an elite group; much like the &ldquo;Final Four&rdquo; and the &ldquo;Final Five&rdquo; only considerably better by one and two respectively. You can see how prized a position in that company would be. To prepare for the big competition Zach and Jameka quizzed each other relentlessly on useless bits of navel-gazing trivia concerning this season. All it needed was a theme song by Survivor and Edward James Olmos whacking a blackboard and excitedly telling them to do it again to get the full throttle adrenalin rush of underdog victory. At the end they prayed together. Zach guaranteed victory with his brash use of metaphor, informing us his mind was &ldquo;A samurai sword.&rdquo; And he wasn&rsquo;t lying, either. When it came time for the veto competition his mind was exactly like a samurai sword&hellip;in a trivia contest: inanimate and useless. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/14/BIG-BROTHER----Samurais-and-Eliminations.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/14/BIG-BROTHER----Samurais-and-Eliminations.aspx#1443 How nauseating was it when they played that "after the Battle of Gettysburg" rat-a-tat-tat martial music as the towel of defeat was put around the bony shoulders of our fallen warrior?<br /><br />How vomitorious was Dustin's suggestion that America's Weasel and Betty Boop were actually clanking groins in the alleged "jury house"?<br /><br />And how hilarious was it when our own Jenius kept stealing backward, surreptitious, longing, "when is this crap over so I can get back to the Hilton" looks at the front door during the whole charade?<br /><br />At least the result allows me to eradicate the Sunday episode from my Tivo. I may be a glutton for punishment but I have no intention of sitting through a one hour, televised victory lap featuring the Demon Donatos. ozzy http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/14/BIG-BROTHER----Samurais-and-Eliminations.aspx#1443 Sat, 15 Sep 2007 09:40:51 GMT
