The Jetlag Gayed Me Do It - YouTube and Other Classy Atrocities

So I couldn't sleep last night because of the jetlag coming back overseas and what started off as an attempt to check out the lastest Broadway Backward clips online (including a duet between HIMYM's Neil Patrick Harris and boyfriend David Burtka, as well as a duet with Xanadu hunk Cheyenne Jackson with Rent's Anthony Rapp) and catching up with Andrew's Vlog (Andrew Keenan-Bolger (who has GOT to be a theatre queen? no?), who adorably plays Leaf Coneybear in the touring version of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee The Musical), ended up turning into an all-night marathon around youtube including finding classic old gay clips from the genius soft core porn for teens that was MTV's Undressed (seriously, what happened to that? talk about trashy addictive TV heroin). I've posted "Athletes in Love" and "Gay College Student" after the jump!

I did watch some classy stuff via ModFab where he's posted all the Academy Award nominated Animated Shorts.

Then I found Josh Groban's performances in the benefit concert of the musical Chess from LA in 2003 (which he is repeating in London this year in May with Idina "Wicked/Rent/Taye Diggs wife" Menzel that I SOOOOO want to go to) that also co-starred Sutton Foster (who will now play Princess Fiona in Shrek the Musical on Broadway), Raul Esparza (who was simply amazing in Company that will be on most PBS stations next Wed. Feb. 20th), and Adam Pascal (Rent). But I'll post that in a separate post cause that's classy sh!t and this is about the crappy stuff I watched Tuesday.

Then, when I finally woke up midday, I was so dizzy and deluded that I ended up watching the premiere of the latest season/desperate-CBS-filler Big Brother 'Til Death Do You Part (above, classy no?), even after I ranted and raved about boycotting the show for the writer's strike sake (and our own humanity for that matter, but oh well, I'm in Canada so my number's don't REALLY count in the end so I'm off the hook)). Wow, so trashy, this time with people paired up with their "soulmates" meaning everyone in the house is supposedly single (well, there was one couple but they were split up with their own separate soulmates, doh). Plus, everyone was attractive, and by attractive I mean they were young, mostly white, not fat with decent haircuts so by cultural terms, yes, "attractive".

Anyways, I admit, I WAS curious and since there was two gay guys coupled up, they suckered me in (they really CAN get us to watch by throwing the token gays in can't they? I'm such a whore (uh, for the gays on TV excuse me very much)) since Joshuah (above) was kinda hot and I'll watch anything with attractive people (see Gossip Girl). I think it's the hair. I know. I'm so cliched.

Anyways, I'm not going to recap it and the Big Brother Trifecta is just a trifecta that is ignoring the show since Dick unfairly won, and if Sheila and Adam win, well, I'll continue ignoring it (because already they've been SOOOO classy in the opening episode being totally disgusted with each other as each other's soulmates picks (um, isn't this a game? Use it to your advantage to win the game and ignore the love thing, you losers, it's not like CBS is forcing you to marry them after (or are they?)).

I also checked out some of the American Idol auditions and there's a lot of super young cute and gayish jailbait's in the running this year, with what seems like a very young crop that seems to be doing well and getting attention. There are still too many to figure out so I'll let it whittle down to the Top 24 next week before I decide if I'm going to stick around this season.

As for the classy gay stuff on youtube, you can't beat MTV's Undressed so here is "Athlete's in Love", man I love this stuff:



And here's "Gay College Student":



and okay, I must try to find more of this crap. I used to love watching Undressed marathons, usually when I was stuck in an American hotel for work (we never got that show in Canada until after it was already cancelled). I was never sure if I was supposed to actually be turned on or laugh.

Meanwhile, um, here's some more pics of Joshuah;

Big Brother Trifecta - America's Dick

Welcome to the final post from the Big Brother Trifecta as we finally put a close to Season 8 of Big Brother. A season that started so promisingly (2 gays, 1 Nick, America's Player), and ended in complete dread (2 Donato's, 1 dick, America's Player), but at least I had fun posting with ModFab and QTA, so thanks guys for a fun season even though it was more fun on the blog than on the screen!

It's lonely at the top isn't it?
So I've come one last time to pose the big questions for Big Brother 8:
So who won? Do we even care? Is this over yet? Now that this debacle is over, are any of you going to listen to me and watch Pushing Daisies and Chuck (in addition to Friday Night Lights which you should have been watching all along?)? (hint hint hint! I have no shame in telling you what to watch and shameless promoting!)

So first up, the Jury House debate! I love this part. Bitter bitter people forced to decide who to give money to people they hate, especially Dick. In fact, they all would have rather give it to Zach than the Donato's, but in comes Zach and they realise the worst is going to happen.

Then, America tells Eric to campaign FOR... DICK. (I'm biting my tongue here now. Seriously, America, you have a problem, and I'm not even going to go there...). Jen debates against Dick and sounds somewhat intelligible while Amber rants against Jen's hypocrisy... wait. WHAT? Amber? Pot? Kettle? What? Then she asks about Daniele's personal life? Daniele's response chastising Amber for bringing in something that was not part of the game was spot on.

Wow. Point for Daniele.

There's more bitter eye rolling throughout the questioning, and Dick is not even trying to suck up to the Jury House as he slyly campaigns for himself. Though really, does it really matter at this point? When the whole thing is over, Daniele gets angry at Dick on last time for his responses. Overall, Jen actually comes up with the most thoughtful questions, Eric, the most self-fulfilling, and Amber, the most idiotic.

The jury is now live with Chenbot and the vote begins. More bitter statements, with everyone voting based on best strategy, except Jessica who comes with the best statement, saying she's voting based on who she got along best with. Finally. The truth! On a side note, all the girls are layered in glitter. Maybe it's the makeup department at Big Brother and not just the Chenbot herself who slathers it on. Have we been wrong about the Chenbot all along? Or did she force everyone else to go under the same glitter shower?

Dick's mom (Daniele's grandmother) is in the house! And in what is supposed to be an AWWWW moment, all I'm thinking is, how good a mother can she be? Look at the two people she raised. What a disgrace.

The losers are back, the houseguests who didn't make it to jury and thank god Nick has normal hair again and looks great! Joe makes some sort of backhanded compliment to Dustin who tries to hold up his composure but obviously is irked. It's kinda hilarious and cute (Dustin, not Joe).

The America's Player twist is revealed after a season long build up (if you can call it that). Eric is discovered, with a replay of all America forced him to do, and it's of course all lame and sweet and hilarious watching Jessica and everyone else react, but it justs reminds us... WHAT THE HELL WAS AMERICA THINKING? Seriously, did Vincent Donato somehow hack into the voting system and vote for his father? How else to explain America's love for Dick? (Wait. Let me rephrase that...)

In the end, Daniele's the winner. Well, Dick got the most votes (Eric's America, Zach, Dustin, Amber and Jessica) and wins the grand prize, but Daniele win's a fresh looking Nick, $50k, and as long as Dick doesn't squander the prize money on cigarettes, a great big inheritance. Like I said, the big winner.

Big Brother Trifecta - The Recap Recap Farewell Edition

Oh, and QTA has the latest on tonight's Big Brother which I haven't caught yet. I'm sure it was an hour of Daniele and Dick gloating. Oh the joy.

I'll be back Tuesday to watch the bitter bitter Jury house do their tongue lashing before they are forced to give the Donato's the money.

Big Brother Trifecta - And Now, The End Is Near

ModFab has the last Thursday recap of the Big Brother house, where one of the three losers (Zach, Daniele, or Dick) will become the Big Brother 8 winner this year. Ugh... how depressing.

Apparently there is still a Sunday episode where they will show... what? Daniele and Dick gloating for an hour? Do I really need to see that? Poor QTA will be recapping that, and I'll be back Tuesday for the final episode where the Jury House will probably give Dick and Daniele quite the smackdown before praising them for beating them all in the game, and reluctantly giving the prize money to Daniele.

Big Brother Trifecta - Queen of California

So what happened? I missed last nights episode but figured Daniele won Veto, took herself off the block thus forcing Zach to put up Jameka and leaving Daniele with sole control over voting Jameka off and saving her dad. Then new HOH which means unless Zach wins, he's screwed. Leaving Daniele to win next week? Was I right? (Not quite but close, and at this point, Daniele, as annoying as she may be sometimes, is the best player this year).

Go find out all the hilarious details at QTA, who was so kind to switch nights with me so that I could get these pictures of Kevin Zegers at last nights TIFF party at Casa Loma (for King of California) who showed amazing promise (and a smooth heiny) in TransAmerica (but sadly, I did not become BFF with Catherine Zeta Jones):

Big Brother Trifecta - Game, Set, Match

QTA was nice enough to switch nights with me so I'm covering tonights episode, and QTA will cover Tuesdays episode, when I plan to become Catherine Zeta Jones' BFF (but does that mean I'll have to talk to Michael Douglas? Ew). And if that doesn't happen, I'll try to have my share of free drinks as I pretend to be someone at the Film Fest.

So, the big competition was tonight, and who was the big winner?

Roger Federer wins 3 straight sets over Novak Djokovic to take the U.S. Open. Surprise surprise. Still, Djokovic came pretty close in the first 2 and it was exciting to see the young stripper come so close to beating Federer and seeing a future star in the making (Seriously though, I think this was the first night where I HAVEN'T seen Djokovic take off his shirt, which is kind of too bad actually.)

Oh yeah, where were we? Oh right, the Big Brother house. How can I forget all the excitement in the house? tick. tick. tick. tick. tick... oh wait. It' still 60 Minutes since Federer's win has postponed Big Brother for 1/2 an hour. For a second I thought something exciting was happening in the Big Brother house. Even the cups are more interesting. (Let's play a game! What do you see?)

So the final four are left in the house, and Jameka has become my default person to root for (loved her though I'm biting my tongue everytime she prays to God. I might as well get a tongue ring at this point). There's arguments (warning: Spoilers in the commentary section) that each person left is a great game player (I've even heard the argument on Zach though I'm still not convinced), or that all four are completely underserving (I can be more easily convinced) but at this point, I'm more interested in seeing what's going on in the Jury house. (Why no clips CBS?)

HOH is extremely important this week (though Veto is even MORE important, since it really gives that person full control) and Jameka can finally play. Zach, Jameka and Daniele compete (Dick cannot play since he was just HOH), and it comes down to a tie between Daniele and Zach. They are asked an intense question, and we know this because the music gets louder and soaring and they even do a dramatic pan over the two in the yard, with the camera moving just oh, so slowly over them. Since when did Big Brother get a cinematographer?

Alas, Zach wins HOH, and if there's anytime he needed to wake from his Reaganesque slumber, now was it. Then there's basically another 15 minutes of filler and then Zach finally realises that he's the third wheel in his "alliance" with Dick and Daniele Donato (REALLY? Why have I never noticed that? How yuppie of Dick) and decides to pair up with Jameka to the finale, and as soon as Daniele gets wind of it, she runs to papa and the steam comes out of Dick's ears again.

As much as I love seeing Dick and Daniele taken down, watching Zach think he's so smart with his Machievellian ways is cringeworthy at best (but not as cringworthy as seeing him rock happy in the HOH room. Wow. Embarassing!). Zach ends up pulling out Jameka's key out, leaving Dick and Daniele on the block, and the game is ON.

And as much as Daniele annoys me, I will admit, she's been playing a good game (well, she's still around isn't she?). Will she be able to continue her Veto winning ways? Will Dick ever learn to shut the f#$k up and stop being such a dick (or does that just come with the birth certificate)? There's playing to intimidate and then there's whatever Dick does.

Sadly, the real time of the show is already way ahead of the CBS version of the show and the spoilers are already out, which I guess will be saved for Tuesday, so I'll save the rest of my ranting and raving in QTA's commentary section, and return Thursday to ModFab when we get our final 2.

Big Brother Trifecta - I Told You So

Well, when the house gets boring, the Big Brother speeds it up, and tonight becomes a double elimination night. I'll let QTA explain it all in detail but I just want to scream this. ZACH, ARE YOU COMPLETE DOLT?

You weren't quietly sitting back and observing the game and strategically sliding by, you are just a MORON and lucked out. You finally have a chance to split up Dick and Daniele with little repercussion and you do NOTHING. ARGH... The stupidity just floors me. My full explanation after the jump.

Jessica was voted out. I TOLD YOU SO. I TOLD YOU NOT TO TRUST EVIL DICK AND DANIELE OR EVEN YOUR IDIOTIC BOYFRIEND OR AMERICA.

So, new HOH, and Evil Dick wins it based on a total guess.

Evil Dick puts up Jameka and Eric. Zach wins Veto. Which means, if Zach used the veto to take Jameka or Eric off, Dick cannot nominate Zach leaving only Daniele left as a possibility.

Thus placing Daniele in danger and Zach and either Jameka and Eric in control of who to vote out. You could have finally broke them up and ZACH, YOU DID NOTHING.

Oh the stupidity. He seriously thinks he can win against Dick or Daniele doesn't he?

Big Brother Trifecta - It Takes A Blonde To Save The Day, Just Not From This Season

The season started out so promisingly. Remember the good ol' days when we listened to Nick list out his Top 5 Guys and Dustin got to boot out his Gonorrhea screaming ex Joe and Jen wore that unitard (which seems funny now) and we could all unanimously hate homophobic Kail? Remember those days? Good times good times.

Now, the best moment of our current Big Brother Season 8 was seeing Janelle from Season 6 and 7 pop up in the house to host the Veto game. Oh Janelle! Now THERE was a true Blonde fighter! That was GAMEPLAYING! Hmm... I wonder what Kaysar is up to now as well?

But first, Eric and Jessica? That loud noise you hear? Is the rest of us screaming "WE TOLD YOU SO" as they find themselves in trouble at Zach's nominations. Even more sad, Eric still doesn't see Dick and Daniele's hand in it, all while Dick, Daniele and Zach continue to plot out Jessica and Eric's eliminations. So the only way Eric or Jessica could save themselves is for Eric to win the POV, thus enforcing Zach to nominate Daniele or Dick in Jessica's place.

So dah dah dah DAH! SUPA Janelle is back to host the POV! She feels the love from the fellow faux-blondes, as well as the drool from a leery Evil Dick (shudder) while Eric makes fun of Janelle just before he realises she's actually in the house. Seriously Eric. Just Stop NOW. Haven't you done enough already? So, it's another identify-the-moving-photoshopped-faces game and Daniele wins the POV leaving her and Dick in control.

You gotta give the girl some credit. As delusioned as she may be about her life, her role as a daughter, her gameplay or her lovelife, she has gotten this far in the game by winning Veto's and switching sides and backstabbing people at the right moments.

Oooh, in the most exciting moment of the night, there's a commercial for Shoot 'Em Up and it's the first time I've seen it played on TV! Go see the movie! And yes, I'm totally shamelessly plugging it here!

Uh, so there's some infantile part where we see Eric doing America's Choice to mimic Dick but at this point, America is as big of an idiot as Eric AND Dick combined. Seriously. America STILL puts Dick as the most popular player in the polls? I hope it's his son who tampered with the polls and is voting a gazillion times.

So, Daniele chooses not to use the POV leaving the J girls on the block, which I guess is still a better move for them since they can still vote off Jessica but keep Eric in the dark about their plan to vote out Eric next for a few more days.

So tune in Thursday when ModFab sadly reports of Dick and Daniele getting their way AGAIN, while QTA will be back Sunday with the new HOH and their nominations, and uh... don't forget to watch Shoot 'Em Up this weekend! Clive Owen! Monica Belucci! Naked! (Well, he is! Albeit very briefly. STILL. GO!)

Big Brother Trifecta - A Labourious Episode

It's Labour Day Weekend and poor ModFab had the labourious duty to report on the Big Brother house, which is getting frustrating to watch with Evil Dick still ranting and raving in the house and America somehow wanting to keep him in and Jameka out. What the?

The good news is Janelle is back on Tuesday!!! YEY! Things are looking up!

Big Brother Trifecta - Julie Chen Goes Gangsta

I lied on Tuesday.

Evil Dick goes mad in the house again, back on another rampage when things don't go his way. Daniele is up on the block after Eric uses the Veto when he realizes his ties are too close to the strongest alliance in the house. Jessica and Daniele are yelling at each other pulling each others fake blonde hair after Jessica grows a backbone and splits up the evil alliance while Amber cries in the corner as she thanks god for saving her in the game. Jameka prays to god in a corner, trying to stay away from the rumble that seems to be brewing between Eric and Dick. Oh wait, there's no god so this is not what happens.

So I lied on Tuesday that ModFab was going to report this, but Big Brother is delayed until 1:30 in the morning in New York so I'm here reporting on what really happened in the house. Nothing.

So instead of the above drama, Amber cried, nothing happened at the Veto, Amber cries, and then Amber is voted out tonight, and Amber cries. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. The anti-Semitic could not convince the little Jewboy to keep her in the end, even though Jessica was regretting her nominations. Eric convinces Jessica its for the best, Amber cries. Damn Jews.

(uh, you know that was a joke right? Please. Chinese and Jews. We are the same people. We only differ in our opinions about pork. We like to use it as much as possible and Jews stay away (for us to use it as much as possible)).

In a more interesting bit, we find out...that Eric's younger brother is CUTE/HOT/CUTE! In the funniest and most disturbing bit, Chenbot says this phrase: "Is Eric, America's Player, America's PLAYA'?". I practically chocked on my own spit watching Julie Chen attempting Ebonics (She by the way, I am not claiming as being Chinese. I don't know WHAT she is). Oh, but we meet Eric's Cheryl, Eric's on/off ex/girlfriend who is in fact very supportive but NOT his current girlfriend. Or so they edit.

The HOH competition begins as a race to fill up a huge fishbowl with tea using a small teacup... which means it will take hours and we won't know who wins until Sunday when ModFab will report back on the winner and the new nominations, taking over a vacationing QTA.

Big Brother Trifecta - Blonde Ambitions and Pulling The Right (Nipple) StRings

I had been deferring my judgement on Jessica because I wasn't sure I totally liked that she was riding on Eric's coattails and avoiding eviction week after week. She seemed like the least objectionable person left in the house (save for maybe Jameka but maybe it's because God's on her side) but did she really deserve to win the game for essentially flirting with Eric and lucking out in the game? I mean, I've already had enough people winning for riding coattails of "better" players with Boogie winning last year (and Lisa and Drew in previous years).

Tonight's mostly uneventful episode finally convinced me that Jessica might just be the brains of the operation, having used Eric to her advantage as her shield while she quietly sat in her bed gently tugging at the right strings. Who knew?

God hasn't been helping Amber (Amber. You know you DID dis Jewish people and his son's a Jew you know, God and Evil Dick are both protective of their children), but Jameka tries to convince the big guy to help save them. Jessica adds that she's actually religious too, just not in the house, you know, cause it's not her strategy, yo. She's using the little guy instead.

So both nominees Amber and Zach still think they are safe from elimination and have a connection to Eric and Jessica. Eric still thinks there's a trust with Daniele and Dick. Jameka trusts in God but hey, who can knock her alliance at this point since she's still in the game? Jessica doesn't really trust Daniele or Dick, at least less than Zach and Amber and secretly hopes to backdoor Daniele. Ba-Ding! We have a light in the house!

So the Golden Power of Veto is up for grabs and everyone is playing except Dick. In a sort of hide-and-seek Jeopardy, they are given the answer to a riddle they must find hidden within the backyard. It comes down to Amber, Zach and Eric as the last three, but since Eric's a dolt, he doesn't let Amber or Zach win it, thus letting them take themselves off the block, forcing Jessica to backdoor Dick or Daniele. No, Eric tries and WINS the whole damn thing for the first time in his valiant effort to feel manly while his woman is still in reign.

Then there's some rant Eric gives. Something about Dick controlling Daniele during her reign as HOH but Eric would NEVER do such a thing and allow Jessica full control while she's in the HOH position. There's some heterosexual kissy kissy under the lights between Jessica and Eric, then Eric is told by America to go and kiss Jessica and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Amber and Zach do the obligatory sly suck up to Eric and Jessica realises that NOW is the time to break up Daniele and Dick but Eric ignores her (smart) advice and keeps the nominations as is... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Apparently Jessica didn't pull hard enough this time.

So the calm before the storm was actually the boring before the more boring as Eric refuses to stir the pot this week and we don't get another Dick meltdown.

More interesting was this excerpt from Entertainment Weekly's interview with Jen:
EW: You said to people in the house that you felt when Daniele was on slop, Big Brother gave everyone more days off than they did when you were on slop.
Jen: I think that was just because sometimes we get a meal for random reasons — like we got locked out for too long or the veto competition went on a really long time... It's just that every time Daniele happened to be on slop, somehow in the middle of the week we got a free slop day. I didn't really mind, because obviously she shouldn't be on slop because she would die. But I was never on slop with her, so it was just weird to see. But whatever.

I'm actually going to miss Jen. Can we just focus on the sequester house now? With Dustin probably basking in the sun and Jen and her unitard.

ModFab will be back Thursday where they hopefully will show some of the sequester house, and ModFab will also cover Sunday while QTA returns later that week to cover hopefully what will be a full our war to get Daniele and Dick out.

Big Brother Trifecta - Because Judy Blume Was A Genius

Seriously. Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing is still one of my favorite books of all time. I never got into Are You There God, It's Me Margaret but maybe because I'm a boy so my version of the life altering book was Then Again, Maybe I Won't. Genius I tell you.

Which is more than I can say for the folks in the Big Brother house. I'm still refraining from making judgements on Jessica. She waivers between the dumb blonde we initially thought she was to possibly clever to most likely dumb blonde again and her nomination may have just cemented that, or, she's a better game player than I would have been because I would have made a different choice for sure.

QTA has all the details of the house that is falling fast. Didn't we used to at least get into a few weeks with the jury house before we got pissed off with the show?

Here's an exerpt "Unless Jameka is right, and you do already have this season of Big Brother all planned out... because then... not only do you need to tell me who wins so I can stop watching, but I am also going to have to blame you for this hideous season of BB. I am not really all "Let go and Let God," or "it was God's will"... but I will get all "it is God's fault" if it is your fault. I will always call somebody out! Even you."... continue over at QTA.

Big Brother Trifecta - Burn Notice

The net was already all over Jen and Dick at each others throats but seeing was believing as Jen destroyed Dick's cigarettes and Dick used one to burn Jen's hand. How much does it take to get Dick kicked out of the house anyways?

Seriously, this is all getting very annoying very fast. We assumed Dick was going a week ago so whatever, we tolerated it, but now we learned our mistake and now we must all suffer apparently.

Anyways, ModFab has the latest update (small exerpt after the jump) while QTA will report back on Sunday (where hopefully Eric will be forced to try to get Dick nominated once again turning the house around, yet again. Let's hope!)

"As we picked up from Jen's suprise nomination last week, it seemed that she really wasn't taking it well. In fact, she seemed really pissed...and for a change, she was pissed at the right people, Evil Dick and Evil Daniele. I've never liked Jen, but let me say: last night was sublime. There was a satisfying joy as she destroyed his cigarettes...all of them. She held it together as he stole all of her clothes. She gave an enormous fuck-you to the producers by eating non-slop products....who lived up to the show's Orwellian nom de guerre by giving Jen an extra penalty vote for eviction. But the BB producers are small potatoes next to Dick, who -- I am not kidding here -- breathed cigarette smoke from his last pack into Jen's face after being asked repeatedly to stop...and then tried to burn her with the cigarette.

What are we watching, people? Some fucked up after-school special on abusing women? Lord of the Flies meets Battle of the Network Stars?"... continue at ModFab

Big Brother Trifecta - The Power of 10 Commandments, Or Not

I'm back and settled into my deskwork again, no work travel, no vacation, and even though I never really missed an episode, I'm completely lost.

WHAT HAPPENED IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS?

And when did Big Brother become the Power of 10? Apparently I would suck at that game because I still don't understand why America seems to hate Dustin and Jameka and love Evil Dick and Evil Daniele? Is it because I'm Canadian?

So, the team I used to like, is now shattered as Dustin is gone, leaving the people-we-only-tolerated-because-they-were-associated-with-Dustin-and-who-are-totally-way-into-God on the block. Amber and Jameka and God are now on their own against the defectees, Eric and Jessica who now join former LNC defectees Evil Dick and Evil Daniele. Apparently God is not a very good player. Or we've been misinterpreting the 10 commandments the whole time and that lying, cheating and bitching is the way to win the game of life (well, I guess everybody in the White House has already proven that).

Things must be bad in the house if the person I'm rooting for now is a God-loving, all praying girl. This is the point in the game where I swear I'm going to stop watching forever but instead I keep watching and get more annoyed as the people I hate continue to dominate and win.



Meanwhile, can we really blame Eric? Since America told him to gun for Dustin last week? Yes. At least technically, he did a better job covering up being our puppet by basically believing in the silly decision. This week, America sends Eric to give his Woobie to Jessica. Cute, Yawn. I think if he had to give it to Jen, Zach or Dick, it might have been funnier and more disturbing to the household. Which leads me to believe again that the Dustin vote wasn't to shake things up but just to get the homo out.

I'm sick of Daniele and Zach bitching and complaining about everything and everyone they are sick of. If anybody should get to play that game, it's us the viewers.

There's a prize for a trip outside the house in the veto competition and Eric wants it but as the balls (no comment here) would have it, he and Jen don't get to play.

The veto competition is basically the Power of 10 on motorcycles, where players need to guess as closely as possible the percentage of people polled what they think (yes, kind of like Family Feud without the family). I'm shocked that only 47% of people think Dustin would be a better boyfriend than Joe. Yes, Dustin was cocky and a bit selfish. Aren't we all? I KNOW I'm freaking selfish and I still consider myself a giving person (I even won the Christian Community Award in school for goodness sake. I know. The irony of it all! I was laughing as I took the prize scholarship). Then again, if everyone hates Dustin, who is basically me only white, maybe that explains why I'm single. Okay fine. I can be a little condescending but that's just because most people are friggin idiots. :P

In the end, Daniele wins the POV over (crying) Amber securing Dick and Daniele in full control of the game for now. Since Amber and Daniele beat Jameka to the final 2 spots in the game, they get to go on the trip outside the house to play the Power of 10 for real. !. Can you hear the excitement in my voice? not...

Daniele takes Amber off the block saving the Jew-hating crybaby to put up kooky Jen, who might seem to be my alternative person I want to win this game. Jessica is cute and dumb and all but she's cute and dumb and all and doesn't deserve to win the game for riding on Eric.

Eric's coattails I mean.

So apparently Amber's power of prayer works better than Jameka's for now as God (or Daniele) saves Amber. Daniele goes to make a deal with Amber after the fact, but Amber being possibly one of the worst players ever, offers up WAY more than she had to because... she's basically an idiot. Maybe I'm not like Dustin. How can he be friends with her? Maybe that's why America hated him? Guilty by association.

So America's choice is to tell Eric to vote out either Jameka or Jen. Wait a minute, those are my top 2 now. Damnit.

Catch the elimination with ModFab on Thursday and QTA will be back on Sunday for the continuing downfall within the house (remember, Jameka cannot compete in the HOH competition still which gives us little to no hope that Daniele, Dick, or Eric will be put up on the block unless some more backstabbing continues, which I guess in this seasons house, is actually more likely than not).

Big Brother Trifecta - It's Because I Didn't Call, Wasn't It?

Okay, I'm back, a little sick still, but will be back to my desk job tomorrow with full attention... so that I can figure out... WHAT THE HECK HAPPENNED IN THE BIG BROTHER HOUSE?

2 weeks ago, things were finally seemingly going to plan again as Kail was getting booted after a few weeks of disappointing ousters. Then Danielle and Dick were furious at Eric and defected from the LNC in their downward spiral, but then Dustin is gone now and Danielle is back in charge (with Evil Dad) teaming up with Jessica and Eric? WHA??? I almost can't take it anymore and starting not to care. I mean, my favorite right now to win has become the religious girl Jameka? Really? Me? Wow...

QTA is here to help explain it all to me after another whirlwind of a Big Brother Sunday episode and to explain why there is so much hatred in the house? (America voting to kick Dustin off didn't help either)

QTA: "I never thought I would start any post with a quote from "She who must go on meds!" but the above title says it all for me. This season of Big Brother has turned into the most hateful, predictable, and boring reality show ever! So as I watch Daniele march her way to the win... picking off the strongest players as she goes... I find myself needing to "pull it together" just to keep my commitment to you good people... and complete my task.

Onto the show...

Eric has become delusional... losing his focus to "America" and Evil Dick. I about lost my dinner when I watched him and Zach play a "bet" filled drinking game in order to have an excuse to dress up in women's clothing... ugh... straight boys (qta rolls eyes)." ... Continue reading at QTA

I'll be back on Tuesday for full Veto report and ModFab will return Thursday on eviction night.

Big Brother Trifecta - Is This Because I'm In Your Country This Week?

WHAT???

ModFab reports on what went down on Big Brother last night and I'm pissed.

Well, I guess at least Sabra won. That's 1 for 2.

Big Brother Trifecta - Shake, Rattle and Roll

This is going to be shorter than normal (I just got to New York so blogging out of my friends room and keeping her awake) but basically the Big Brother house is all about Evil Dick continuing his rampage to make everyone in the house (and America) hate him to secure his ouster while saving Daniele.

The Veto competition was to drink Big Brother Shakes (like bacon, eggs and OJ, any other savory concoctions) and play croquet and Dustin tries his hardest but alas, god is apparently not on Jameka's side and gives the Veto to the Devil himself, Evil Dick.

Rampage, rampage, rampage, Daniele appeals to the LNC that it's not her fault he's her fathers daughter (boo hoo, then why did you start turning on Eric last week with your dad then?). Man, there's a lot of screaming and yelling and tears this year. Again, even more than normal, no? (Oh wait. I forgot Janelle, Kaysar and Howie vs. Cappie and the loser Nerd Herds)

So in the end, Dustin is decided to be the pawn on the block, while Eric must give Jessica the silent treatment. And fails. Awww... they ARE kind of cute together.

Though, why is Jessica getting all paranoid about Eric and Dustin? The paranoia of Evil Dick spreads! When the houseguests get out and rewatch the tapes, they are going to be in for a shock... about how LESS of a conspiracy there really was. Though why do people keep insisting on believing Jen? She IS good at being evil.

Seriously, I can't take any more of Evil Dick's yelling. It was funny at first. Now it is just irritating. It's not even evil entertaining anymore, it's just tiresome. Let's hope nothing changes in the plan, since, you know, this year nothing really has ever been going according to the original plan.

Big Brother Trifecta - "Who's The Liar Now Bitch!"

Sorry it's a bit late again but check QTA for the latest happenings in the Big Brother house.

Here's an excerpt "The Sh*t has hit the fan in the BB house as the aftermath of the vote, and Dustin's switch of his vote! Dustin totally did the right thing here, and the game will not be the same after this. YAY!!!! This rules cause the game was getting a bit tired."

Big Brother Trifecta - Dynasty Has Nothing On This

So I go across the world and come back to find Amber going all Evil Dick on Eric? What did I miss? I'm a bit late again on this, but check ModFab for the recap of Big Brother this past Thursday and don't forget to check QTA on Sunday to find out who Jessica nominates. Loved that Dustin was actually all calm and rational and trying to convince Amber that she was NUTS to go along with Evil Dick's plan.

So here's what ModFab had to say:
"Last night's episode of Big Brother was special for many reasons. First because the one and only QTA was sitting on my sofa, letting the gooey TV drama drip all over us. Second, because the entire episode was one-long bitchfight, better than an episode of Dynasty in its heyday.

But first, the Chenbot Fashion Report: her outfit of choice was a black-and-white pantsuit that featured an enormous red sash...a sort of kabuki belt thing. (QTA: "She looks like the lost third member of The White Stripes.") Me, I thought it made Chenbot Ass look enormous."... continue at ModFab

Big Brother Trifecta - Much Ado About Nothing, Well, Nothing Except America's Choices And De Plane De Plane

Wow. Where do I start? In Big Brother's continuation of this week's saga of a Blonde Woman Scorned all because she was TOLD to vote out her lover, er, boyfriend, er, hot guy she flirted with, Daniele (who is in desperate need of her own backbone, muscle, or bodyfat) needs the help of creepy Zach for her plan of action to succeed.

What was the plan again? Oh yeah, to get Eric, America's Player, out of the house because a plane in the sky (though it could have been a falling star and it probably would have worked) told her that he lied, and all things clicked that Eric set up Nick, then planned to set up Daniele. It's all hilarious because it's all too clever for skittery Eric (who was all kind of hot and bothered defending Daniele against Jen in the HOH competition). After loving/getting annoyed at Eric over the weeks, I felt bad for him again on Sunday, though considering he's making a few thousand bucks for every 5-10 America's Choice tasks completed, he probably should have covered his tracks better and not gunned for Nick before being told he had to vote Kail out. Oops. Our bad! So poor Eric is going to be backdoored by Daniele because he saved her while she voted her out. Wait. Isn't there something wrong with that sentence? As Charlie Brown would say. Good Grief.

So the LNC gang (who are SO NOT like the Nerd Herd, um, they are closer to Janelle, Howie and Kaysar's gang in my books), stick together to go against ex-LNC'ers Danielle and Evil Dick. Which is all again really hilarious because yet again, Kail, Jen and Zack, the outsiders, are about to get another free week if all goes to plan. Didn't everyone want them out since the first 2 weeks? Wha' happened?

Eric needs the LNC gang to win the veto to keep him safe, but only Jameka and Dustin are chosen to play along with HOH Danielle, nominees Jen and Kail, and Zach. In probably the best Veto game to date this season, "Numbers Don't Lie", it's a bidding war to see who is willing to do what the most, with the bidder who bid the least, automatically out of the game. Dustin is out first, unwilling to sacrifice his wardrobe for a bunny suit for Eric. The entire remaining gang is willing to dump the funk (a nasty manure smelling concoction) over themselves every hour for 24 hours and gives up $10000 free cash.

Then it is bidding for hours on slop over the next 30 days. Ew. Zach is out with less than half the 720 hours Kail and Jen are willing to do. Then in the biggest shocker, the bid is to give up up to 5 chances to play in the HOH competition, and Kail and Jameka bid all 5 chances, while Jen puts 4, Daniele puts 3, making Daniele out. That means Kail and Jameka just gave up playing in the HOH competition until September. Wow. Jameka IS loyal. She's probably in a safe enough position to give it up, but I'm still shocked. Finally, the last bid is to give up up to $250k of the final prize money to win Veto and Jameka isn't loyal enough, leaving Jen to win, with Kail just a tiny bit short (if you're going to bid $249k and change, why not just bit it all?). So Jen wins, which falls right into Dick and Daniele's plan. Eric is screwed.

Did Jameka just say "Crap is Crap" or "Crack is Crack" in describing Daniele as a liar and still the product of Evil Dick? Either or, it works and it's hilarious. For a religious girl, she sure calls them out so blatantly and so I will still love her for that, despite all the crying for help from god after the veto competition.
Evil Dick continues his rant against Eric. Boy he sure does fume. I would maybe side with him if he didn't get so angry for thinking the worst so fast and basically becoming the biggest asshole in the house. Jen convinces Dick all too easily that Eric was in an alliance with her, tells Jessica, who confirms it with a lying Jen, leaving Jessica feeling like she's been played the fool by Eric (which she hasn't, and boy, maybe Jen IS a smart cookie as she plays Jessica and Evil Dick to a T). Jameka and Dustin don't buy it though because it all falls into place to secure Eric's ouster while saving Jen (and Evil Dick and Danielle).

I'm sure Eric is THRILLED to see America's Players newest challenge but luckily he's given the easy task to tell Jessica that he wants to take her to the final two, and probably in doing so, convincing her that he's actually a good guy (just with a huge nervous tick).

Meanwhile, Evil Dick continues AGAIN his ranting rampage against Eric (which is seriously stressing me out now just watching his veins pop out), and Dustin and Kail call out Daniele for following Daddy's commands and not being her own woman (and how cute has Dustin been being all macho protective about his LNC gang?). But alas, when Jen takes herself off the block, Daniele puts up Eric for nomination, which also leaves Kails' supposedly safe nomination in more danger than when Jen was up, and also leaves Zach and Jen in the house for yet another week. If we lose Eric this week, that will be 3 cute dudes in a row. My eyes are rolling as I shake my head in disappointment.

Find out how the house implodes on Thursday as ModFab reports on the ouster, then head to QTA on Sunday for the next set of nominations. Oh, and since America's player is on the line, who should he suck up to before Thursday?
