I am always grateful that BB puts at least one relatively sane/rational (by comparison) person in the house for us to rest our brains watching - like Dan, and to a lesser degree Angie & Memphis last season,and Jeff and Jordan this season. Otherwise look at the cast of characters and qualities chosen, for example: (
PLEASE NOTE: I am not passing personal judgement on any of the individual house guests, beyond as an "ingredient" in the BB soup)
1. Russell: Middle Eastern. short, shaved, professional bare knuckle fighter, who calls himself the Love Muscle, and has a (roid-head) hair trigger temper.
2. Natalie: Latina, only child, spoiled brat, olympic tae kwon do champion, professional poker player, androgynous, 24/18 year old, hero worshiper, spitfire trouble maker, consummate liar (poker bluffing must have come in very handy).
3. Laura: Over emphasized physicality, karate black belt, tae kwon do champion, strong vocal personality, Bikini model
4. JesusJesse: Two Pump Chump, Mr.Pec-Tacular, Dudley Dooright Cartoon Twin, egomaniacal malaprop, simian intellect and physicality, onanist
Think about Chima and Lydia's personalities???!!! How about the personal info Michele revealed to the entire house about herself???
This house is filled with teetering-on-the-edge of sanity/reality, Alpha Dogs. BB did the casting based on the High School Clique motif, but they really dropped the ball when it came to thinking it through past the ending of the cliques. They spent 5 weeks conditioning themselves to the game using very aggressive mob mentality/group think, and then BB let them all loose on each other. What the hell did they think was going to happen?
These are some seriously damaged individuals. I would be afraid to be in that house! They actually were going to poison someone and put hot sauce into a bottle of contact lens solution!!!!! They weren't joking - BB stopped them!!!
