Date night #2

Waiting for something/anything (Monday 8/13)

Ratings - Fat Tuesday edition

I think they heard the chants from our picket line: we have had fewer fishies and there's no more avocados in Joe's salsa, but they continue to send us to fishies for any Zingbot mention. Zingbot's a draw for the show, right? Maybe they're afraid whoever's inside the suit will sue for inhumane treatment in the heat, but it's already common knowledge. Sending all that stuff and production talk and Diary mentions to fishies just draws more attention to it - obviously. But they are making an effort, however small, so that's something. The real question is how & why can they block so much and yet we've heard every single pee all season? Now that the fishies are dying, they'll need to come up with something or we'll all be on floater watch whenever they block us, and PETA will be on their case next.
TEAM JANELLE We got stuck with her, Danielle and Shane because they're all dating show rejects. Ashley's the only one who's following through with that original goal. Now what happened to her Snow White alliance?	TEAMIES: Frank, Ian, Jenn WON $6,000 I'm just not a fan and I'm not going to be, but he's not on ignore yet so that's something. His burgundy old man wife-beater with blue headband was a new fashion low, even for him.
TEAMIES: Shane, Willie, JoJo Funny Britney is finally back and she's zinging right and left, as she should be. She seems to be getting tired of both Danielle and Ian, and that's paying off for us. Many exhaustive searches have not turned up proof of Joe's self-service so I think she made it up, but she sure tells it funny.	TEAMIES: Kara, Danielle, Jodi WON sushi party He's given two Hamsterwatch.com shoutouts since the strike and that probably hasn't won him any favors from TPTB, but it's fine with me. He's not the most exciting hamster by a long shot but I feel for him with his Danielle duties - his patience there might be running thin too. Easy ups tonight for his little song 'She's so salty and sour when she's dancing with clowns' even though they sent us to fishies and we didn't hear the rest of it. I'm pretty sure that one's not copyrighted by someone else.
TEAM DAN When they say something's a trainwreck, it means it's something really bad but you can't look away, and that's our Danielle in a nutshell. But I think she's getting more flak out here than she deserves: she's comedy gold and provides enough entertainment that the cheap shots are easy, but the hating is unwarranted. She's just an insecure and immature young girl who's in way over her head, but self-awareness isn't easy for some. Dan's line to her tonight came just a little late: 'As long as you're not bashing people behind their backs, you have nothing to worry about.' I think she and Boogie are the only ones who don't know about the kissing.. yet.	TEAM BOOGIE - HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD WON 1 week spiritard I don't have anything against him except the company he keeps. He seems a bright and nice enough guy who's not as full of himself as the average hamster, but guys who have trouble with girls should take notice of his smooth style tonight. He turned a really lousy date into a makeout session simply by asking, and that was after Ashley tried to chant the dead fishies back to life.
TEAM BOOGIE WON $3,000, 24 hour dog's life Zings for Danielle, hammocking, annoying most of them, and saying he'd play BB for a $200 gift card at Outback Steakhouse - need I say more? I continue to hope I'm not overestimating him, but I (want to) believe all these humble 'I'm not here for the money' lines are just stepping stones to get the money. Many were worried about his reaction to Ashley dating somebody new, complete with face-sucking, and while it may have stung for a minute, Ian's over her.	TEAM BOOGIE WON $1,000, Hawaii trip She took a shift with Danielle tonight and she stood firm, not caving to the sob stories or the sobbing, and continued to provide good and repetitious advice throughout the entire ordeal. If you've ever caught Jenn & Wil for their late night check-ins, you'll know Jenn has little patience for Danielle's histrionics, but she held up well tonight for the Shane and the Trey and all the rest of it, right up until she walked out.
TEAM JANELLE - NOMINATED Residual ups for Moses and the ark and the acid. That was good enough that I'm hunting down the Joe channel whenever possible as I've finally caught on and can appreciate the (unintentional) comedy he brings with every topic. See Britney, and unless somebody can provide a flashback for his alleged self-service, it didn't happen. But it might.	TEAM BRITNEY WON Veto ticket Now that he's no longer fodder for As Danielle's World Turns, he's pretty useless in there. At least that's what I thought until he randomly came out with 'my dad and I dress up in fat suits and go bowling,' which upgraded him to neutral.
TEAM JANELLE - NOMINATED WON $5,000 He's not even out yet but he's living in a world of gloomy and that's especially bad since he had the most entertainment potential going in. See my site intro at top left of the page: 'If they aren't entertaining, get rid of 'em!' He isn't and hasn't been for awhile, so it's just as well his number appears to be up. Disclaimer: it's only Tuesday night.	TEAMIES: Wil, Ashley, Joe WON Nothing She was the first coach casualty but she went quietly, robbing us of an updated 'bye-bye bitches'. She didn't have a Howie or Kaysar to work with (or entertain us) this time, and her teamies either didn't know or didn't care how loyally she plays BB. She had some sippy fun but this cast didn't get her shtick, and she had pork rinds thrown at her and mean girl chatter reminiscent of BB6. She drove the early game but didn't play in any veto comps, and that was a huge loss for the season.
TEAM BRITNEY - WON nothing She promised to bring it, but apparently she left it on Staten Island since she failed to fight even when confronted. She talked a lot but it was mostly the same loops over and over: she only gets along with East Coast girls, she's street-smart, she's loyal, and she's loyal, know what I mean? She was scouted via Facebook to get here, and that's where she should have stayed. Now she can get back to modeling and piloxing.	TEAM BRITNEY - WON nothing (Possibly forfeited stipend) He spent two weeks laying in HOH bed, parannoying his brains out even though he was perfectly safe, and his fall from HOH was the hardest we've ever seen. He head-butted himself out the door when he might have been saved by veto, so he'll go into the BB blunders pile. I didn't come in with Hantzophobia so I'm grateful for the cheap entertainment he brought, especially the Froot Loops war and Willieisms like 'key-hos', 'corn-ho', and 'totin' pole'. He's the first hamster to pose for his mug shot while his season was still underway.
TEAM DAN - WON nothing She brought a big name and rep to the show but didn't live up to either. She seemed like a nice enough girl but she didn't bring much to the feeds, and her sister wife wardrobe greatly disappointed her pre-existing fanbase. She'll be remembered for extra shiny knees and little else - she didn't even campaign to stay.	TEAM DAN, for a minute - WON nothing Most were looking forward to seeing what she'd bring, but she got a raw deal and was gone before the feeds even kicked on. She'd said she was worried about lack of privacy & sleep, missing her family, and slop, so maybe BB wasn't for her, and she got away without airing any dirty laundry. It had to be humiliating to go back in for the group bikini pic but that's how they do things.
