Alex and Amanda sent packing on BB

As mentioned in the previous post, the live eviction episode of Big Brother this past week (and every week), was extremely boring. This is no surprise. There were, however, a few things to consider going forward…

First, the show has lost a great character in Amanda. Sure, she was a gossip queen and seemed to annoy her fellow housemates, but that’s what made for such great TV! The angst between her and her partner Alex was quite amusing as well. After they were eviction, it was about time that he took some ownership as to why they lost…

Easily the worst couple in that house is Joshuah and Sharon. One, because Sharon shouldn’t even be allowed back in the house. Two, because Joshuah has been dull thus far (except for his ridiculous tirade on Amanda.) Sadly, they are the new HOH couple, and we’ll have to hear them scream and weep and brag about how they have won the past two challenges. After they won the HOH, could Joshuah have acted more immaturely? You won, you’re excited, but how dumb is it to yell and scream like he did? Another classic case of horrible game play. There is no way the remaining house guests will forget that, and it’ll rub them the wrong way. Joshuah and Sharon should be scared for the following week because of it. Smooth move you clown…

As the episode ended, Julie Chen promised us that next week’s evicted couple will have a “surprise that no one will see coming that will start a new chapter to the game.” That sounds pretty intriguing. It’ll probably be as simple as a couple coming back into the game. Why else was Sharon and her original partner Jacob sent to the sequester house? A few colleagues of mine think it has to do with this “Hudson Virus” that the show (and Crazy James) alluded to. It would only make sense. Let’s hope it’s actually something interesting that won’t be a complete dud. Remember the failed “cout de-ta” that Mike Boogie never used in All-Stars?

The nominations are tomorrow evening. The safe money would be on Ryan/Allison and James/Chelsia going up…
