Ongoing BB10 Feed "Discussion"
TexasLady:
We think they are having noms now. Libra for sure is going up, Meechelle thinks it will be unanimous to vote her out, she said she didn't know who she'd put up beside her, someone who would for sure stay.
(We know how well that all works out don't we!!) :funny:

The thing with jerry eating the pasta salad on renny was that HE DIDN"T ASK!! it was marinating and was supposed to be for today. renny has never said " i made this and you can't eat this!" to anyone in that house no matter what riffs were going on. I think she's very generous and kind with trying to make meals for EVERYONE all the time!
She's got a great sense of humor and i give her HUGE kudos for putting up with the people she has in that house!

Just catching up after last night: I saw Jerry with a burger and pasta, getting it ready 5 minutes in advance so that he could finally have something to eat. I thought the pasta was left over. I think he usually asks, hey can I take some of this when there is a bowl full of something in the reefer; however, last night all he was thinking was "Food, real food, easy to make and I need to eat right away!"
It might have been nice for someone to have said, "Hey, Jer, do you want me to cook something for you so you can eat as soon as the clock strikes midnight?"
At this point I'm actually wishing last summer's guests were there now.
As to the unwashed hands, it is some kind of "a thing" perhaps a pattern -- first it was that horrible woman who won a few seasons ago, -- yeah, Dani-hell -- sitting behind a man's back and announcing to the whole house "ëeeeeuuuuwwww, he doesn't wash his hands before touching food; don't eat anything he makes," rather than taking him aside and saying, "We have to eat in a group situation, so all of us need to be extra vigilant about washing our hands before touching anything we eat or eat with, especially things we will put back in the refrigerator for others to use." It wasn't Chicken George, I don't think; an "older man" who taught special ed.
Now it's what's her name -- Libra -- and Jerry, same situation: isolate him by telling everyone but him about washing his hands before touching food and planting that idea of "germs. . . disease. . ." in their minds. One can point out courtesy hygeine to the guilty party in a number of tactful ways, not the least of which is making an announcement to the group about extra care in washing hands. Announcing to the group behind that person's back that he/she has unclean hands and then doing nothing to attempt to help him/her correct it is a very dirty form of manipulatilng people's attitudes toward that person.
This backbiting by Danihell and Libra Who Isn't [a Libra] is quite a contrast to almost everyone in BB9 eating a couple of spoonfuls of ice cream direct from the container and then putting it back whenever the urge arose; there was also a great lack of anyone cooking, actually cooking, and a lack of eating together as a group.

. . . and Michelle sure was right when she noted that "historically," the one who's supposed to be the pawn gets voted out.
Again, in sharp contrast is Sharon in BB9, who went up as a pawn how many weeks in a row, flying in the face of conventional wisdon, in the face of historical precedent (""the one who's supposed to be the pawn always gets voted out)? She was great.

The thing that bothers me most about Jerry now is the way he is treating Dan. The only reason he is so pissed to the point of being downright nasty to Dan is because Jerry himself was foolishly going around before eviction telling everyone that he and Dan had an understanding and that Dan would vote the way he wanted him to. "We got Dan, Dan's on board", etc.
He told Jesse countless times that he was "OK" and it was a "done deal". So now HE looks like a fool because he didn't see it coming and he feels like an idiot. Well, he IS an idiot. What's the best way to take the heat off yourself? Put it firmly on someone else, which is what he is doing to Dan. The more he says about Dan, the less he thinks they will look at him like he's the fool and call him out on all those promises he made that Jesse was safe.
He says that he is an honorable man and he waves his military service around like that will speak for him. I am from a military family and I can guarantee that this is not how it works - your character speaks for you, not your uniform. I liked him at first, then I just felt sorry for him, but now I can't stand him.

Yuk, April really turned out to be a nasty piece of work, running on the paranoia of desperation; that thin pale skin of hers exposes the veins at her temples, the glistening sparks of hatred shot from her narrowed eyes, the sharp tones of invective in her voice.
Flee, Ollie, flee! You can see it, can't you? I think so. I think Ollie realizes she's a psycho-bitch and anything he could do to try to disentangle himself at this point would only land him in worse trouble, so he's just riding it out until the show is over.
She did such an immediate turn.
Michelle is this season's G-Nat; she's going to go after those people who put out "her Matty," devil take the hindmost.
Poor Dan. I suppose if he can weather the storm of having participated in putting muscle-boy out, others may come to appreciate his having done that.
At least ithe show's a little more lively or interesting; not much, a little. Neither of those words work either.
I am really sick of Big Brother coming on and saying "Stop that singing." Boooooring. If I were there, I'd be singing Swing Low Sweet Chariot, America the Beautiful, the National Anthem, nursery rhymes, school songs and rugby songs and just shout back, "Public Domain! Can it, you paper shuffler!" I wouldn't be there though; I wouldn't be able to stand the sensory deprivation of no books even, no paper and pencils, no camera of mine to use -- the lack of creative tools and the lack of tools for growth (books) and discussion.
This crew did do a tremendous job initially in creating a variety night, charades, counting buzz games -- campfire and party games from memory -- and the retelling of film classics to each other. Fahrenheit 411 would be a good model* for the kind of Big Brother (1984) it has become mired in over the last ten years -- fewer and fewer intellectual stimuli and, as a result, more and more people who can live without intellectual stimuli.
* people becoming living books -- each memorizing a book to retell word for word as the government seizes and burns books, back to the oral tradition of literature. Forbidding them song is beyond the pale.
Wouldn't it be fun to have people in there given enough time to prepare for the house by memorizing several novels, refreshing them in their minds before coming in to the house so that they can tell a detailed story to the others and discuss the meaning?
The Bible is a good resource -- thank God for the Gideons, eh?
Would Paul McCartney charge CBS royalties for a housemate's singing "Rocky Raccoon checked into his room, only to find Gideon's Bible . . . ." and pulling up the rest of the houseguests' contriobutions until they had a full sone.
Really tired of "Stop that!"and "Stop singing!"' and worst, perhaps, "Houseguests are not allowed to discuss production." What do the producers think people watch Showtime after dark for? It's to learn about the behind-the-scenes workings of the BB house, not just the houseguests bickering, eating, yawning, and changing clothes behind towels. Egad!
Well, that's about all I have saved up for today!
Now, should I think about being an updater . . . with two weeks' free feeds????
Forgot to watch CBS morning to see what the surprise reveal to Jessie was: probably that Dan is America's player. I hope so, to relieve him of carrying hostile feelings toward Dan around with him unnecessarily. He might think it's necessary, though, because Dan's "taking money" to play the other guests, so he still can't be counted on.
