Well, well, well... did you think Janelle would actually do it? Evict Dr. Delicious? Do you think Erika will stick to her "word on her mom"? I guess we'll see!
To start this, I just wanted to pipe in with my own thoughts regarding last night's big endurance competition. Now, I'm just a watcher of the game, not a player. But, I'd have to assume that the players know as much about the comps as I do. When Julie Chen said "for now" in answer to the question whether both hands have to remain on the key, I understood it fine. I think Janelle probably did, too. The "for now" is because once things start moving, smoking, shaking, whatever they're going to do, Big Brother usually sends out a message that they can only hang on with one hand to make things tougher.
That was the biggest fiasco of an endurance comp I've ever seen. While Janelle's removal of one hand from the key was accidental (she was straining to see what the heck Mike did), Mike's leap off was overly dramatic and will probably backfire on him. He knew he couldn't win against the girls in an endurance comp, so he didn't even try. Will and Mike have said on and off all season that they wouldn't try at an endurance comp. "Remember Richard Hatch?" Oh, I do. He was my pick to win that Survivor season. I remember Richard Hatch won. I bet Janelle and Erika remember he won, too. All the more reason to vote out Mike! I still can't believe an endurance comp which started near the end of the live show and ended before the live show went off the air.
What's that noise I hear? Ah, it's all the eyes rolling out there!
Here are the events since after the live show in that Big Brother House of Take That Chill Town!:
- Erika and Janelle are beside themselves with glee. Janelle said that Will told her that he was the fox and she was the bunny. "Who's the bunny now, BLEEP?"
- Mike went to the Diary Room as the two girls celebrated the victory over Chill Town, chortled and chuckled.
- The girls took a moment to ask Mike if he was okay. He still seems shellshocked. He just mumbled, "I've never been in the house with him..." [Editor's note: Mike was the fourth person evicted from BB2. He really wasn't in the game long at all.]
- Mike talked to Janelle. He said he knew she had to do what she thought was best for herself in the game. He then said maybe he's better off without Will. [Editor's note: As if! Will carried him into the house and carried him all season!]
- Mike tried to work mojo on Janelle to swing her away from her trust in Erika.
- Erika told Janelle that he was just trying to play nice so he can be in the final two.
- Erika and Janelle then discussed their final two dresses again.
- Janelle kept imitating Mike's shocked look when Will was voted out.
- The girls decided they'll both make Mike think them that they're each taking him to the final two.
- Erika told Janelle that she told her he'd jump off. She thinks he'll throw the next part, too. He's sure that one of them will take him to the final two.
- They don't think the next part will be on Wednesday because Big Brother gave them alcohol.
- Janelle's pretty upset that she let go of the key with one hand. She had psyched herself to do the comp.
- BB gave them a sushi feast for dinner.
- Erika is still going on about revenge of Chill Town. She's still mad.
- Mike, alone, told the Internet why he threw the comp. He's sure that because he's so hated, he's the best choice for either woman to bring to the final two as either should win against him. He said he would indeed try at the second part, but he has no worries or pressure - he knows one will take him. [Editor's note: In a way, he's right. Against him, either woman should win. But I so hope that they keep the plan to take each other.]
- He also said "America loves you even more now, Janelle."
- Janelle and Erika rehashed the evils of Chill Town and how they affected both nominations and evictions throughout the show.
- Janelle admitted to Erika that Mike helped her in the doll POV comp by pushing a correct doll her way.
- The women just went on forever, happy with themselves, toasting each other and going over every wrong that Chill Town ever did. Mike wandered aimlessly or perhaps he's just bereft.
- Erika told Janelle that she told Will the "gig is up" in her redone goodbye video. [Editor's note: Remember... I said she asked BB if she could redo it once the tides turned.]
- Mike slept on the floor next to the bed in the room where the two women took the beds. Very quiet, very subdued.
