More Big Brother Musings...

After I've gotten the whole Jen business out of my system, it's time to sound off on other crazy contestants, annoying habits, and ridiculous promises made in the BB house...

As the current Head of Household, Amanda seemed to really annoy everybody in the house. The short shorts have to go. Good grief put an end to it. She seemed destined to be hated by America. As the episode progressed however, she came across as very sweet and caring. Her story about her father's suicide was touching, as was her partner Alex revealing his story about his father who died on 9/11. I usually am so perturbed and frustrated with the sob stories that the show trumpets out every year, but this one had meaning. That segment was handled very well. How can you not pull for them in some way?

Ok, I'm getting sick of my own sappiness, so time to rip these contestants some more. There's always an issue every season with people going back on their word. So why did Alex & Matt swear on their father's life that they are going to the end? You KNOW that will likely be impossible to keep, so why even say it? I swear BB casts the biggest meat heads they possibly can each season. What preceded that was far more bizarre. A meeting is called so everyone can swear on the bible that they don't know have a connection with anyone outside of the house. You can't write up a more ridiculous script. This is completely asinine. Truly one of the most puzzling things I've seen in all my years of Reality TV watching...

The Goober Adam and the Ma Sheila must be mentioned. She is a loose cannon! Why does she hate this guy so much? We still haven't seen anything that is just awful directed at her. By the way Sheila, you might take the cake for "most clueless player in the shows history", for constantly complaining about your partner to other teams. It's as if she doesn't want to win. Sheila, you're on the wrong reality show. This isn't The Mole; the object is not to screw your team members over! The word dumb might be thrown around too much, but not in this instance. Sheila's game play is horrific...

Ma must have been scared of Adam because he told everyone he is uncircumcised. How does that conversation come about anyways? So, uh...I have an announcement to make...

Maybe Sheila truly has lost her mind after just one week. She and Allison announce in no uncertain terms to Joshuah that they are a lesbian couple. It was funny for a couple of minutes, but that's it. They don't gain anything from it, other then admiration from the men in the house, because they'll be seen as bigger targets. The book on this has to be closed right away. It was, however, a great way to prove that Joshuah can not be trusted. He scurried off to his partner Neil to tell him the news. If Sheila had half a brain (sorry, it won't happen), or Allison thinks about it (she will), they know never to trust him again...
