I get it - Amber's an extremely emotional person, and while there's nothing really wrong with that, I did have a slight issue with her getting all teary-eyed because she would be playing in the Power of Veto competition.



I hate to break this to you Amber, but you applied to be on the show and I'd say there's around a 100% chance that you knew the show involved a little deceit, a lot of deception, and an overabundance of "awkward" situations.

I think it's about time she put on her big girl pants, sucked up those tears, and pulled out some talons. Otherwise, I'm afraid this game is going to absolutely destroy her and desecrate her body.

Early on, we got to listen in on an exchange between a pair of quasi love birds as Nick told Daniele that he had developed feelings for her and that he was in an alliance with Kail, Mike, and the crazy clown (Zach).

Daniele then revealed her silly secret to Nick and let him on the fact that she's actually a month away from being 21. I think the information Daniele received from Nick was much more useful.

in all honesty, I have a feeling that Daniele is serious playing Nick, something I'm guessing whatever NFL team he was on failed to do (I kid, I kid), and that this little relationship is going to come around and burn him at some point in the future. I'm sure we'll find out in the next few weeks.

America's Player

Tonight America voted on whose bed Eric would end up sleepwalking into. America obviously shares my sense of humor and decided to go with Joe.



Eric wandered into Joe's room at some ungodly hour and kind of nuzzled his face against Joe's leg like some sad dog cozying up to its sleeping owner.

Eric's main mission was to get Joe to actively kick him out of the bed, but he gave a few minutes into the mission saying, "If I had to wait for Joe to wake up and kick me out, I might have been there the rest of the season."

It was a pretty funny sequence of events and it led to this conversation between Joe and Eric the next day.

Joe: Do you sleep...do anything?
Eric: Sleep do anything? I don't even know where you're going with this but it sounds fishy already.
Joe: Well, I was sleeping and you know how a cat rubs your leg? You were like, doing that to me.
Eric: As far as I know nothing like that transpired.

Power of Veto Competition - The Cut Throat Christmas

This weeks POV competition was a combination of shuffleboard and that foolish Olympic sport called curling. Contestants took what's known in curling as a "rock" and pushed it along a ginormous shuffleboard with the hopes of getting as close to a red line in the center of the board as possible.

Each round the contestant whose rock was furthest away from the red line would be eliminated. They would then choose a present from beneath a Christmas tree (the courtyard was filled with snow), and they'd get to keep whatever present they unwrapped assuming the next outed contestant didn't steal it from them.

This weeks contestants were Jen, Mike, Daniele, Dick, and Amber. Dustin was the host.

Prior to the competition going down, Jen very inarticulately told Amber that if she won the competition and removed one of her eviction nominations then she would put up Amber's closest ally, Dustin.

Ten bucks to the first person who tells me what this caused Amber to do. [Hint: Rhymes with "cry".]

Jen also issued the same ultimatum to Joe, only Joe pointed out that he doesn't really have a close ally in the house which would made Jen's threat pretty much pointless.

This led to a whole sequence of drama in the living room and pantry where Dick yelled at Jen some more, and Joe pointed out that Jen's reasoning for putting Dick and Daniele up (to eliminate negativity), was pretty ironic since she just created a lot of negativity with her stupid ultimatums.

Jameka and Zach also had a confrontation that I didn't quite understand, but I'm guessing there's some bad blood between them.

Once the competition finally got underway, Joe was eliminated first. He pulled a slop pass from beneath the tree.

On the second pass Jen was eliminated and she won a red leotard that she would have to wear for the remainder of the week. She was a little too excited about the leotard.

During the third round, Mike left the competition and ended up winning a Big Brother date where he and the house guest of his choice would get to share a gourmet meal in the courtyard alone. I have no clue who he is going to pick since he's probably been shown for about three full minutes in six episodes.

Dick was eliminated next and he won a plasma television that he didn't give a crap about winning.

That left Amber and Daniele. According to Amber she barely pushed the rock so that Daniele would win the POV. Amber picked a pair of handcuffs from beneath the tree. She had to choose someone in the house to be handcuffed to for 24 hours, and ended up choosing Kail because they are both on slop and because they are both moms.

After the competition and working on the assumption that Daniele would use the POV on herself, Eric once again tried to campaign for Jessica on America's behalf. Jen pretty much shut him down at every pass.

Zach then tried to talk Jen into backdooring Joe, although he used the term "backdoor" incorrectly. As far as I know, backdooring involves the HOH intentionally putting up two people up for eviction that they have no intention of getting rid of. Next, a premeditated group of people plays and wins the POV competition, takes one of the potential evictims (TM) off of the chopping block, and the HOH then puts up the true target for eviction.

Just thought I'd spit some Big Brother knowledge at you.

Power of Veto Meeting

As anticipated, Daniele used the POV on herself and Jen ended up putting Joe up for eviction.

I'm actually a little disappointed that Evil Dick or Joe will be the one going home on Thursday. I'd much rather see someone like Jessica, Mike, or Jameka go home as they don't hold my interest nearly as well as the other players. My wife also points out that she wants to see Dick exact revenge of Jen's skank ass - so of the two, I'm hoping Joe ends up going home.

Tonight, America is voting on which contestant Eric should campaign for to have removed from the house
