Egad! I posted this last night, and it didn't actually post because I got the message that while I was typing (no wonder!) a reply had been added, so it sat like that until just now. I am now posting -- with an update of last night I didn't bother to watch the last hour. I get tired of hearing people complain about slop. Actually, this year it's the first time I have heard anyone, let alone three people say it wasn't too bad. Can't be worse than whatever preceded C-RATS in the Korean war.
left hanging from last night, before BBAD
It's not just me then: these guys are really weird this season, right? My face seems to be frozen in a sort of quizzical and appalled disbelief. Maybe I shouldn't be watching this; it's kind of grossing me out.
I like Renny too -- she is at least interesting. Actually, I enjoyed the contrast on BBAD last night of Renny, Keesha, and Stephen outside talking about New Orleans -- although the opinions were a bit, uh, Barbara Bush-ish "Well, a lot of 'em were dyin' anyway," said Renny, regarding people who ignored the warnings, as they had become accustomed to doing over the years ("Wolf! Wolf!") and stayed there and were caught in the flood.
At any rate, they were talking about something outside of themselves.
Jerry was in the DR.
Everyone else was upstairs, screaming out who needed to go, all at the same time, to Jessie HOH, who was just trying to relax on his bed. Michelle, meanwhile, was eating as much of his food as possible and drinking as much of his wine as possible, even after he politely and pointedly said, "If you open that bottle, you won't have anything to drink tomorrow." When he said he was tired, Libra took the hint and was the first to stand. She had to go back to tell Michelle that when someone says's they are tired (in their own home, in essence), it's a signal that it is time to go. Michelle, grasping her wine, made faces like, "Gee, the pawty's ovah?" Going down the stairs, carrying her wine, some water, and something clutched under her elbow, Jessie said, "Here, why don't you let me take something for you." She surrendered all but her wine and tottered down the stairs.
Pretty good summary of last night, I guess that was.
One more sum up: just before saying he was tired and after most of the screaming over and over of what each one's opinion was, all at the same time, they were maybe glad and maybe regretful Brian was gone, it was a mess because, who knows, and what they wanted this week, if there was a consensus there, was summed up by Jessie who said, "You know what's funny? Jerry would have done that last week [had the bunch of you not all gone to him and said he needed to change things to put up Brian]," and shrugged.
I have missed episodes 2 and 3: I slept through 2 and thought 3 was tonight. I'm just getting info from the screen crawler on BBAD on Showtime -- which said that the entire household had massed together to get Jerry to nominate Brian for eviction; so now whoever they want up this week is the person that Jerry would have put up had they not come squawking to him like demented cockatoos.
This is really a bizarre bunch: the second night all went along just fine, group activities, and then all of a sudden a big flap: it ended with Michelle having fits because
Angie didn't want everyone coming in to console her crying over what she knew was foolishness, because consoling only reinforced it, made it difficult, and complicated the situation. Brian had been consoling her. When she pulled herself to gether, Michelle started in on her about I thought you were _my_ friend and you're talking to Iwho I hate most ... and went on and on, accusing and not listening to her friend's trying tos ay she didn't want to see anyone. On top of it all, Angiel had started crying because she thought Jerry was calling her a psycho because he said, "Here's a perfect one for you" for charades and gave her "Psycho." He apologized, after several people went to him to say she had been hurt, and in his apology said he was hurt and pissed off because he wouldn't think she would think something like that about him. Later she went to his room and then Jerry told her that he had said it was perfect for her because she can act things out so well.
The next night, all went along fine, group activities, just as before, and in the eleventh hour, all hell broke loose again; this time Keesha ran over to the other blonde and accused her of "talking **** about her" because the other blonde was thinking Keesha was breaking ranks because she was involved in some secrecy with Jerry. Keesha told her it was a personal matter, not game. Keesha not wanting to announce to everyone that she was constipated and needed an enema and needed Jerry's bathroom to do it in, so Jerry was trying to help her get the staff to get her one and had given her his key in case any laxatives kicked in all of a sudden. April didn't like that Keesha had Jerry's key -- too much of a conspiracy, and all that was going on was that Keesha was trying to keep the whole enema situation kind of quiet.
Bizarre conflagrations of paranoia.

I think I like Renny at least for now. She annoyed me initially, but since has calmed down and could actually be a really good friend to some of these losers. I though Jessie totally disrespected Renny last night on the live show and Renny bounced back with something these kids have never heard of .........class
I think it is so sad. I know how it feels. Poor Renny..stuck there with a bunch of fools who don't yet realize that when you get older, your mind is forever stuck at the point where you reached your most mature, most enlightened and very best YOU.
She was just having fun and the self absorbed young'uns have soo much to learn
Oh well..I am sure I will find more to piss and moan about later. LOL
