I need to start off my recap with a shout out to my peeps in da hood! Wassup neighba!
 Okay, so I live in small town Indiana and I’m about as much a gangsta as I am a super model. However, I do want to give mad props to my neighbors for being so generous and donating a 6-pack to my refrigerator. I had to give up something with the gas prices being so high so I gave up my beer about a week ago. They know I like a beer or six while watching BB and doing my recaps so they surprised me. Cheers guys!After watching the highlights of this past week in the Big Brother House and then hearing Julie recap it again for those with ADD, I realized that the recaps on ART are so much better...maybe because we’re not so darn redundant. Anyway, Julie presents tonight wearing a short sleeved cardigan that had gray/white and pink dingle-berries around the edges. I hate when designers go one step too far.I can’t help but think that Julie’s writer and her stylist had drinks one night and the outcome was bad.  After Captain Obvious finishes blabbering about the game, she tells us this is another double-elimination week.  Aftermath of POV Ceremony James in diary room telling us that he knew he was being back-doored; however, he figured they would leave Janelle on the block. In fact, he goes on to say that it was a stupid move on their part because if Howie wins HOH, he’s putting up Maggie and Ivette. Back to living room following ceremony and Howie is trying to make light of the situation and James’ face is all blotchy and he looks like he’s going to cry. Howie: At least we get to pack together.  It took us 7 weeks to get you out of this house.James: It’s time for jokes later. Oooh, somebody’s not so cocky this time around. Howie leaves the room and Ivette is left on couch to comfort James. He tells her he had a chance up against Janelle but he has no chance against Howie. Maggie is watching this whole scene take place with a perplexed/disgusted look on her face. She tells us she’s disgusted by Ivette’s loyalty to James but she understands the strategy. Ivette’s Hate List This week Ivette hates Howie. We don’t know why. Maybe because he was Rachel’s partner and some of the hatred rubbed off on him? It’ll probably remain a mystery. I guaranty if he is voted off he’ll get another cryptic anger filled shaming from her on his good-bye message. James in gold room talking to Ivette. He asks her whose idea it was to keep Janelle around. He wants to know if it was a “group decision”. Ivette tells him that “when things get discussed you don’t argue much.” I guess the Friendship Girl Scout motto is “All for on and one for all unless you’re being called out.”  James tells us he has to make Ivette an offer she would be stupid to refuse. Nice approach James. As he goes over the points of his plan should he stay, you can just see the hamster wheel spinning out of control in Ivette's head. Once the conversation has ended Ivette wastes no time to seek out Maggie, drag her into the weight room and talk to her about saving James. Now we all know that Maggie is desperate to get rid of her self-proclaimed biggest threat in the BB house; however, she listens carefully to Ivette’s blustering. Ivette explains that she knows that James is a dirty player but he’s good company. Maggie reassures her that she would rather see James win the money than that bitch (Janelle). Maggie tells us how she’s told Ivette a million times not to get attached to James but she won’t listen. She figures this time she’ll just tell her what she wants to hear. She ends the conversation with “he has three days until we vote”. The light of hope that lit in Ivette’s eye was sad to watch. She looked like one of those starving kids on the UNICEF commercials. Now scene with everybody except Ivette in kitchen talking. James said something about football and Howie went to rebut when a loud “SSSHHHH” comes from the top of the stairs. Apparently, Princess Ivette was napping and Howie’s voice tends to carry. This event triggers the beginning of the campaigning. James: If anybody wants to sleep, we know who to vote off on Thurs. Howie: I can’t win anything. James can veto himself out and win the whole damn thing. James: Howie may be playin’ dumb, uncoordinated “middle-aged” man. STOP – RIGHT THERE!! Howie is 34 years old, I’m 39 years old so according to James, a normal life span is 68?! Not as long as there is breath in my body! Next scene is Janey and James in gold room talking. He is making a last ditch effort to convince Janelle she has a better chance winning with James than Howie. He starts lying and Janey is NOT buying it. She tells him he’s probably right but her alliance is with Howie. ::high five to Janey!:: Later James is playing chess with Ivette and the lying is getting bigger and bolder. He tells her Janelle pinky-swore that she would vote Howie out. She considers this but she’s not really convinced. He tells us from the diary room that if he can sway Ivette he feels he has a fighting chance to stay. Interview With Houseguests First Julie congratulates Janelle for winning the America’s Choice phone call from Michael who was evicted the second week. Janelle said it was wonderful hearing from them. What she didn’t say and what they didn’t show is Ivette’s tantrum when Janelle got the call. It was fabulously pathetic! Thank God it’s fan questions… Maggie: How have you lost the weight? Running and working out every day and the wonderful people in the house and plenty of laughter. Ivette: If you get HOH what luxury item would you like in your room? Picture of my beautiful girlfriend who she misses more than she’ll ever know. ::I need a moment to flush, excuse me.:: Beau: Which houseguest, including eliminated ones, would be worst permanent houseguest? First he says Howie and then switches to Janelle because she has stuff all over the house. April’s Friends and Family Speak First Big Brother gives us a hilarious recap of April’s constant repeating of things. “You know what I’m saying”? Even shot of her and Jennifer talking strategy in backyard and Jennifer telling her “you talk to much”. :lol Her sorority sisters tell us April helped to make their college years memorable and she graduated magna cum laude (she’s pretty smart). Then they start in about her constant talking and lack of knowledge on when to shut up! They feel that this will be April’s downfall. Then we get to see Matt, April’s husband and Pepperoni, April’s schnauzer at her home. Matt tells us that initially he liked Howie. Thought he was funny until Hurricane Howie blew into town. He doesn’t like the way he treats April. I think he just doesn’t like the fact that Howie called him fat on national television is a pretty good reason to hate somebody. He proceeds to tells us that he is NOT fat, he’s large boned.  We see him reassuring Pepperoni that bad Howie isn’t going to eat him. We hear how proud he is that April was able to step it up a notch and called her “G.I. Jane”. He also touches on the “weak” player comments made about April and said that it’s just going to make her up her game. He feels April has a good shot at being there in the end. Yeah, at the rap party! HOH Interview Julie asks her if flying under the radar part of her strategy and April tells her it was. Sure it was.  We find out that Jennifer and April really haven’t known each other before the game. April admits that with Jennifer gone she and Maggie have partnered up. Julie then wants to know if April questions Ivette’s loyalties because of her relationship with James. April said she just loves Ivette and believes in her heart she will stay loyal to Friendship.Scenes from Sequester We get to see where Jennifer’s been hanging out for the last couple of weeks. It’s not a tropical paradise as Howie believes it is but, appears to be in wine country somewhere. Jennifer informs us the first couple of days were relaxing but then she got stir crazy and wants to get back in the game. Sorry liar, aint gonna happen. The last player Jennifer wants to see come to the house is Rachel because she’s sooo boring. Because she uses big words that Jennifer can’t understand, like integrity and honor and de-looo-sion-al. Rachel rounds the corner and all of a sudden she’s Jennifer’s long lost friend and she’s so happy to see her. However, Rachel gets a little dig in as she hands Jennifer her bag as if she’s the bell-hop. ::mental high five to Rachel:: They toast to the game and Rachel pulls out the tape of the last week’s events. DVM tells us that they can see a lot of the activity in the house but will see no diary room footage. As they are watching the tape Jennifer is making a lot of ridiculous faces and remarks. (i.e., “why do they keep showing Kaysar’s face like every five seconds?” and “It’s so colorful it looks like a real television show (Rachel is stuck with this idiot for a week.). When it finishes she tells Rachel she knows exactly what was said in my group and I’m happy with it. Diary Room Dialogue Maggie: Both James and Howie have the ability to kick people out of this game and are both threats./If James stays, I’m in big trouble. Beau: James alliance with Ivette is nice and he would protect us./Howie and I have a great relationship. We flirt and tease each other. Ivette: James would protect Beau and me as far as he could. I can think of 101 reasons for him to stay./Howie has the strength of getting along with people. It can also be annoying too. Janelle: James is a stronger player, but I can’t hurt Howie. Howie hasn’t been strong in challenges. Nominee’s Final Pleas Howie: I’m gonna pick up where you cut me off last week Julie. I’d like to thank Salon du Beau for the haircuts. Hurricane Howie has fizzled out and Horrible, Harmless Howie has taken over. I’m a waste of a nomination I can’t win anything. I’m a hell of a motivational speaker though. I got on April and all of a sudden she’s winning all the challenges. James: Thanks friends and family. Thanks houseguests for coming after me week after week and thanks for making it easy for me to win all those vetoes. Just kidding. A few more wasted moments of Julie trying to convince us as houseguests go in to give their votes that there’s a chance in hell that James will be staying around. Another unanimous vote off and James is out. He gives everyone a hug. Howie grabs his bag for him and then asks “what do you got in here, all your vetoes?” Once James is out the revolving door Ivette rushes to the bathroom where she grabs her Rosary beads and starts to pray in front of the sinks. Which is a heck of a lot better than April’s secret prayer place, the toilet stall. Julie’s Interview With James In a nutshell, he tells us that the only reason he stuck around as long as he did is because they made worse mistakes than him. After 7 nominations in a row, it gets personal. He believes that it was strategy on Howie and Janelle’s part to evict him. He also assures Julie he would have stayed loyal to Sovereign Six had they not evicted Sarah. That was the pivotal moment in the game. His relationship with Ivette was genuine and not part of a strategy. He tells us what a truly amazing girl she is and that her girlfriend and her family are luck. He negotiated a deal with her in the house that he and Sarah can rent her apartment in Florida if they choose to go down there. Goodbye Messages Ivette: Sorry I couldn’t give you the sympathy vote but you understand why. Janey: I probably could've made it further with you but I couldn’t do that to Howie. Howie: 5 vetoes! You are awesome, dangerous and insidious! April: People who play this game really well end up leaving. Beau: It took us five weeks to get you out but success finally happened. Maggie: I’m an ER Nurse not a cop! Julie asks James why he was convinced she was a cop and he tells her because she didn’t believe you even when you were telling the truth. He felt that he and Maggie became “close in combat” and he will definitely talk to her after the game. HOH Challenge – Playing it Straight You get two turns to roll a bowling ball down a narrow plank trying to get it through a hole at the end. There are marked of spaces on either side of the plank with a point value. From bottom to top they are marked 1-6 and then one closest to the end has a value of 0. If you get the ball through the hole at the end, it’s worth 10 points. Here’s how it went down: Maggie: 2 + 5 = 7 Beau: 5+6 = 11 Ivette: 5 + 4 = 9 Janey: 6 + 2 = 8 Howie: 6 +6 = 12! Howie wins HOH and he and Janelle go nuts. He’s very gracious when April hands over the key. He gets down on one knee like he’s being knighted. They go back into the house and Howie notes he’s the first repeat offender for HOH. Julie has some more fan questions. Howie: What type of woman would get a long-term relationship out of you. His answer was his houseguests.  He then goes on to say that they are all in relationships with boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands and he thinks it’s cool. Maybe the echo between his ears gave him an opportunity to hear this himself and he comes back with “you just know when it’s right’.Beau: What would you do with $1M? Give some to charity, to my mom and family and then travel. Julie: April, what one thing do you wish you would have brought from outside as a luxury? April: “Pepperoni!” I miss him sooo Julie: It wouldn’t be Matt? April: Oh both of them. They are the men in my life. She then asks Howie if he is thinking about nominations yet? He answers “a little” and then the light bulb goes off. “Is this a double-eviction week?” Julie tells him he took the words right out of her mouth. Howie then asks “so I only get one day in my room?” Julie doesn’t respond but asks for his first nomination instead. He ponders for a moment and says “Ivetta” but he never gets to finish because she’s up and over in nomination chair. His second nomination goes to Bo-Bo who also jumps up quickly and goes to chair. Ivette looks like she’s going to be sick and Beau looks bored. Julie finally signs off for the night and we get to eavesdrop a bit on the houseguests. Howie looks truly remorseful regarding his nominations. I’m not sure if it’s because of Beau, Ivette or both. We’ll see on Saturday if it’s a last-ditch attempt to back-door Maggie. |
