Tell me these two aren't the next showmance on the horizon -- Chima and Russell.
Here's what's been going down in the Big Brother House of Freaks and Geeks since my last report:
- Ronnie is way too giddy about Casey being evicted while a banana.
- Jessie told Natalie that Lydia is now going to vote Casey out.
- Natalie told Jessie that she doesn't like him talking to Lydia.
- I think we may have to turn this Habitrail around and take them all home!
- Kevin wants Casey to try to stay. He thinks they might be able to get the votes if they can swing Chima and Michele.
- I don't think it's possible.
- Lydia talked to Casey and asked him if he'd go after one of the four (Jessie, Russell, Natalie, Ronnie) if he stays.
- You bet!
- Ronnie thinks they should trick Lydia and Kevin in the next HOH comp and not let them in on the new code.
- How old are these people?
- Casey clowned around in his banana suit, singing songs, and having fun.
- He's sure he has no chance to stay.
- I think he's right. :-(
- Russell hit his head diving into the pool.
- He didn't hit it hard enough to be hauled away.
That's all I've got for you. It's a quiet and subdued house. We need a brouhaha.
Sigh, in bed with the devil. Of course, either one might qualify, eh? They're baby-talking each other. I think I might just be ill. Here are the events so far today from inside that Big Brother House of Bamboozled Bananas:
- Kevin told Lydia that Jessie's crew were only keeping Ronnie for the numbers and they plan to "pick us off one by one."
- Yup, Kevin wins a Twinkie!
- Kevin doesn't necessarily think that he and Lydia are targets. He thinks Michele, Jeff, and Jordan are the targets.
- For all of his observation, Kevin thinks that Chima and Michele are on his side.
- Wrong.
- Natalie doesn't even want Chima THINKING about her.
- Natalie wants to "kick Lydia's ass."
- I think it's grammar school cliques, not high school.
- Kevin, Lydia, and Jordan know they don't have the numbers to save Casey.
- Lydia admitted that she and Kevin had been with the Jessie crew merely for the numbers.
- There's safety in numbers, y'know.
- Jeff and Casey talked about Russell running around like he's running things, but he isn't. They also talked about Natalie wearing Jessie's shirts and riding his coattails (a fashion statement, I suppose).
- Natalie wants Casey out, but she also wants Lydia out.
- Then the PoV meeting (blocked to the feeds) went down.
- Sigh. Casey is on the block in Michele's place.
- "Where is the outrage?" asked Casey.
- Casey told Jordan that he could have won the veto -- he didn't try hard because he thought he was safe.
- Then we're full circle, back to baby talk between Jessie and Lydia.
Michele saved herself and, true to my dread, Casey went up on the block in her place. I don't like Jessie.
With the PoV meeting expected tonight, several of the hamsters are all wondering if Jessie will put up Ronnie as he told them he would. The others know that he won't. It's a recipe for a brouhaha!
- Jeff told Casey that he suspects that he will go on the block when Michele saves herself.
- He said that Jessie won't put Chima on the block.
- Russell and Lydia trashtalked about Casey. This was in front of Jordan (who didn't really take part in the conversation).
- Jordan told Jeff she thought the plan remained the same -- that is, to backdoor Ronnie.
- Casey went to talk to Jessie.
- Jessie tried his best to avoid saying outright that he's putting Casey on the block.
- Casey reminded Jessie of the deal they made in the beginning.
- Michele thinks it makes no sense not to put Ronnie on the block.
- The Casey/Jessie talk ended with a handshake and Jessie telling him when you're HOH, you have to do the best thing for yourself.
- Now Jordan and Jeff know that the Ronnie Backdoor plan has been squashed.
- Casey wishes he tried harder for PoV and Jeff regrets losing HoH.
- Michele and Jessie had a brief blow-up, but then got all hunky-dory again.
- The sides have solidified more -- it's Natalie, Jessie, Ronnie, Chima, and sometimes Russell and Michele against Lydia, Kevin, Jeff, and Jordan.
- The latter four pinky-swore not to put each other on the block.
- Jessie and crew don't know so much that Lydia is "over there."
Unless Jessie is hoodwinking all of us, tonight it will be Casey on the block with Jordan. And, in the house, Jordan definitely has the edge to stay over Casey.
