Dr. Horrible Posts: 4,810 Group: Admin Member #2 Joined: February 13, 2005	At last, it’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for since the end of the last season. Ok, so some of us have actually been waiting since the first episode of last season, when we realized that a season with Jase, Holly, and Scott was going to suck. Even though those three were out early on, it was a rather mediocre season. This season promises to be better (as it couldn’t be much worse). So let’s get this party started! If I had a million dollars, I wouldn’t have to eat PB&J We are introduced by a mysterious voice that states that there are 47 cameras in the brand new two storey house, and that this house is full of surprises, where 14 people will be staying for the next three months, competing for the largest amount of money ever rewarded on Big Brother… $1,000,000.00 places pinky to corner of mouth. Then cut to our favorite Big Brother host (possibly only because she’s the only one we’ve ever known) who tells us that there are secrets in the house, the game, and each houseguest has a secret as well. Julie Chen tells us that the million dollars, is not necessarily the final prize but that each houseguest has a secret partner, and they think that they are the only twosome to play together in the game. If the team of two makes it to the final 2, the winner gets the million. Otherwise, it’s just a measly 500,000. Meet the Houseguests We then cut to clips of the houseguests first getting their keys. I won’t go over all the cheesy lines that they were made to say, but I will say that Ivette reveals that she is a lesbian, Janelle wears a shirt that says “Dude where’s my Couture”, and everyone says their cheesy scripted line. Julie asks the houseguests to come to the front door of the Big Brother house, but they can not talk to each other yet. After looking around and seeing what Julie called their new family (some people give looks of extreme horror at the idea of this), the first five people are invited into the house. They were: Ashlea, Howie, James, Jennifer, and April. Howie claims that the house is psychadelic and shagadelic like a child’s playground. I have never seen a child’s playground that is “shagadelic” nor do I ever hope to see one. I hope he never has children. April notices that all the beds are in one room. The next four to get into the house are Kaysar, Beau, Rachel and Maggie. As they enter the room, they count the beds, and realize there aren’t enough… Howie says “So one person (if it’s a girl) is gonna have to jump into bed with someone”. I think Maggie was put off a little by the bracketed “if it’s a girl” comment, as if to say, why do we have to share a bed? The final five people to enter the house are Sarah, Ivette, Eric, Michael and Janelle. Janelle decides to tour the upstairs before getting to the bedroom downstairs, and seems to be the one left without a bed. Somehow she thinks she will get someone else’s bed, and a sleeping bag. I didn’t understand what exactly happened in this whole debate, but Eric wasn’t all too impressed with her attitude, and she wasn’t too happy with him either. Ivette swears that there is another room somewhere, but that they just can’t find it. Getting to Know You, Getting to Know All About You Just before they all meet to get to know each other, Michael and Kaysar go off to talk to each other. We don’t hear what they were talking about really… but one can only assume that they know each other already. As they sit down, Ivette pops open a bottle of champagne, and they all introduce each other. Janelle introduces herself as originally from Minnesota, and now in Miami. Howie says to the camera that he loves her, while Ivette states that she is like a mini-Pamela Anderson, and all fake. Beau introduces himself as a personal shopper, and Eric states to the camera that we all know who the gay one is now, “but so what?” Jennifer is from Texas and just graduated and is working on her Masters. Howie feels that there’s something elusive about her, and he wants to find out what that is. Ashlea is a fashion student at the age of 22, Michael is 28, Kaysar is in Graphic Design in Los Angeles, Eric has been married for twelve years, and he is a fireman. Howie is studying to be a meteorologist, because he says that if he gets the weather wrong, he can still have a job, as opposed to being a CPA, and getting numbers wrong. James thinks that he might be slightly mentally retarded (his words, not mine… don’t shoot the messenger). Sarah is a lingerie department manager, and Ivette describes oh-so-joyfully that she is born and raised in Miami, and that she is a waitress who used to be a teacher (but being a waitress pays more). Rachel is a Colorado horse breeder, Maggie is an ER Nurse, April was married nine months ago. James claims that he is a 9th grade philosophy teacher, even though he is technically a “Loss Prevention Officer”. I have no idea what this is, but apparently he thought it would be too threatening if he claimed to be a Loss Prevention Officer. And back to Julie, who states that winning is everything, and that for the first time ever, the food competition will be the HOH competition as well. (This is, of course a lie, as those of you who remember the PB&J bribe they used to get Jee to become HOH, and have everyone eat PB&J for the week). Before this competition takes place, Julie reminds the houseguests that the house is stocked with Peanut Butter and Jelly, and that the winning team will get groceries for the week. Julie asks them to split into two teams of 7. Team Orange is made up of Maggie, Howie, April, Janelle, James, Rachel, and Sarah, while Team Blue is made up of Kaysar, Ivette, Jennifer, Eric, Beau, Michael and Ashlea. After splitting into teams, they are told to put their bathing suits on, at which point we are treated to a diary room entry from Howie talking about how much he likes the ladies. You may be good at basketball, but you suck at Kahuna-ball When they return, they go out into the backyard, which Beau states is “like a jungle”. The task is to balance with your team on a huge surfboard while getting coconuts from the tree overhead, and then throwing them into “The Big Kahuna’s mouth”. The Big Kahuna is a big prop that CBS probably reused from Survivor: Vanuatu, with a basketball net attached at the mouth. Ivette states that this challenge is very important, as it is the only way to stay safe and healthy. April makes it oh-so-obvious which team is going to win, by saying that her team will never win with five guys and two girls. As the challenge starts, Kaysar is shooting for Team Blue, and missing every shot, while Howie is doing an excellent job for Team Orange. After switching up, since Kaysar was not doing a good job at all, Beau got the first point for Team Blue, and they switched the thrower many times. Michael was probably the best shooter on their team, however, it was too little too late, as the Orange team kicked the blue teams behinds. Does ANYONE want this? The HOH challenge is only open to Team Orange now, and they must all balance on the Orange surfboard. While the Orange team balances, we see Michael and Kaysar talking again… you think they’re trying to tell us something? While Michael and Kaysar talk, Ivette and Ashlea talk inside (another hint maybe?) Team Orange notices that the Blue team is talking, and so they decide that they will do a little talking of their own. They have all agreed that whoever wins HOH, will not put anyone from Team Orange on the block, and that this will be their alliance for the first few weeks. Once the deal was made, James volunteered to get off first, after ten minutes. After Howie announces that he has passed his first gas of BB6, which I’m sure makes you as excited as it makes me, Janelle decides to give up after 41 minutes. Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Eric, or Ol’ Shifty-eyes, as I shall call him, is talking about how the girls are going to pick off the guys one by one, and tries to get a guys alliance of James, Michael, Kaysar and himself. The guys seem to be going along with him quite willingly, despite the fact that he is acting really funny, and extremely paranoid. After 2 hours and 15 minutes, April and Sarah both jump off together, and at 2 hours and 22 minutes, Maggie jumps off, deciding that it’s too early for her to get HOH, as there’s no one she really wants to boot yet. After 2 hours and 35 minutes, Howie talks alliance with Rachel, and I couldn’t quite figure out if they were together beforehand or not. He states that he has to take a leak, and then jumps off, leaving Rachel as the first HOH of BB6. For the next segment, Big Brother gives us a closer look at Kaysar, as he prays to Allah. After he is done praying, Kaysar walks into the room where Ashlea is, and she asks him what he was doing. Ashlea talks about how she came into the BB house with a bias due to the war, but that she actually likes Kaysar as a person. The ~~Nutcracker~~ HOH Suite And now, it’s time to see the brand new HOH room… or suite. Rachel invites everyone to come take a look, and it is huge, with her own bathroom. Pretty much everyone that is visiting the room tells Rachel how jealous they are, and it all seems to make Ol’ Shifty Eyes sick. Once the tour of the room/suite is over, the 7 Orange team members linger and talk strategy, and Rachel tells them all that she wants their input. Let's take a closer look at Jennifer now, shall we? She thinks that Michael is hot, and that Howie would be hot if he shut his face once in a while (at which point we’re treated to Howie saying the ever-so romantic line “Are those space pants? Cause your ass is out of this world!”) She also thinks James is a cutie, but James is noticing all the flirting that she is doing, and sees it as strategy. The four…. ummm… Men Ol’ Shifty Eyes is still trying to get his alliance together, as he talks to Kaysar about it. He states that he can’t trust Beau, as he is one of the girls as far as he is concerned, and that he can’t trust Howie, since he will go wherever is most beneficial to him, which leaves them with the four person alliance. Anyone else feeling déjà vu? Rachel asks Maggie and April what they think of putting up Ashlea and Kaysar, and they both agree that it sounds fine. James, however, is afraid that Rachel will put two men on the block, and so he goes to talk her into getting rid of Jennifer. Rachel said in a diary entry that she thought the same thing, but that she’s not completely sure. Also, in the process of trying to get her to put Jennifer up, he pretty much let the cat out of the bag about the guy’s alliance, stating that “Eric seems to have control over the guys”. And this guy is teaching 9th graders philosophy??? If this is how he does strategy, I can’t wait for him to tell all his stories of terrible 9th graders. Big Girls DO Cry It’s finally nomination time, and who will Rachel choose? She takes out the first key, which is Janelle’s, and so it went in the following order: Janelle, Maggie, Beau, Jennifer (at this point we can guess who the two are that are nominated), Eric, April, Ivette, james, Michael, Sarah and Howie. This, of course, leaves Ashlea and Kaysar up for nomination, and Ashlea cries. Rachel explains that it was not personal, but that she just didn’t get to know these two people very well. In diary room entries, Kaysar says that it’s time to get aggressive, while Ashlea says she is going out fighting. Rachel states wisely that Ashlea was crying, but that she had made no effort to get to know the first HOH. Ol’ Shifty Eyes closes off the show saying “we’d better be prepared” and shifts his eyes as if he needs to be prepared for a team of Samurai to jump out of the wall and attack him with their Samurai Fighting Skills. Tune in on Tuesday for another episode, where we may find out who is teamed with whom, and we will also see how the Power of Veto competition plays out. Also, we will all be treated to a wonderful recap from the illustrious Becki! Do you know what a Loss Prevention Manager Is? Are you a Loss Prevention Manager?
