'Dancing With The Stars' Season 14 Dream Casting
What To Watch On TV This Week
Big Brother 8: PoV Competition #6
(S08E18) This season of Big Brother has given me a serious case of bipolar disorder.
With the exception of Amber, who I've pretty much despised the entire way, it feels like I can't make it from one episode to the next without having wild shifts in who I'm rooting for and who I want to get evicted from the house.
The party most responsible for my waffling is without question the Evel one. I started out the season loving his honesty, found myself hating his cruelness, but now find myself rooting for him again after he went kamikaze on Dustin, Jameka, Eric, and Amber in an effort to save his once estranged daughter.
I don't quite understand how I can like this guy. He's a brutal human being, and he's said some of the most vile things I've ever heard uttered on a reality show, yet I'm going to be sorely disappointed if he goes home this Thursday.
The guy is a complete anomaly who can spout pure hatred in one scene, yet lovingly remind his daughter to take her vitamins and offer to chop them up for her if she finds them too large to swallow. (Does he also cut the crusts off of her sandwiches, cut up her meat, and put her favorite beverage in a sippy cup?)
Perhaps I'm not the one who's bipolar. Maybe it's actually Dick. Whatever the case may be, he's been the most entertaining figure this season and it's going to turn into a really boring show when and if he's finally evicted.
On with the show.
I'm not entirely sure who Jen's allegiance lies with at this point in the game, but she's trying pretty desperately to fit in with the group formerly known as the Late Night Crew. Case in point, she barged into the HoH room with Jessica and Eric even though she wasn't invited. Jessica didn't have the guts to be rude and tell Jen to leave, but she wanted to.
For the most part, the next 20 to 30 minutes revolved around Dick doing his best to execute "operation self-destruct." His modus operandi?
"I not only have to get the five to hate me, I have to get the five to despise me."
Some of Dick's antics:
- Dick proceeded to bang a metal lid over Dustin's head in the wee hours of the morning.
- Said to Eric, "You are a disaster on two legs. You're the biggest liar and manipulator. You will be joining me soon in sequester. Don't you want to kick my ass right now, all 50 pounds of you?"
- Said to Amber, "You are one ugly bitch. I promise on the life of your daughter that I am going to make you so miserable every [censored] day."
- Dick basically ridicules Jameka's religious views, says he's a better Christian than her, and mocks the magic ping pong balls again.
Power of Veto Competition - Shot for Shot
Jessica pulled Jameka, Danielle pulled Dustin. and Dick pulled Zach. Eric was the host.
Initially, everyone who played was separated into different areas of the house until they were individually called into the courtyard.
The PoV competition came in two parts. To begin with there were 10 cups of varying substances scattered throughout the yard. The contestants had to go to each station and drink the substance that resided in the cups.
The substances ranged from relatively benign things like maple syrup to hideously disgusting beverages like a pig ear, pig feat, and ham concoction which could be the reason Jessica is spitting out her lower intestine in the screencap below.
If the player was able to finish the entire drink they were awarded a point that could be used later in the contest.
Zach ended up drinking three, Jameka drank four, Jessica ended with five, Daniele gagged through seven, and Dustin and Dick both downed all 10 like they were shooting Patron.
The contestants used the points they were accumulated to play a giant game of croquet. For every ring the croquet ball made it through, the contestants were awarded a single point, with a final point being awarded if the ball hit the peg. There were four rings and one peg making the maximum score that could be achieved with a single stroke a five.
The scores:
Zach - 6
Jameka - 10
Jessica - 17
Danile - 20
Dustin - 32.
Here's where it got interesting. Dick managed to score 28 points with his first nine shots and basically had to make it through all four rings to tie and make it through all four rings and hit the peg to win.
With a clutch shot that would make Tiger Woods proud, Dick scored a five and edged out Dustin to win PoV by a score of 33 to 32. I admit to being on the edge of my seat during this sequence.
Dick gave a resounding "Thank you Jesus!" and went back in the house and almost immediately started chastising Eric, Amber, Jameka, and Dustin some more.
This caused Jameka to decide that Dick is "Satan in the house." I'm sure he relishes the title.
Finally, Jameka ended up making a comment to Daniele regarding religion which caused Daniele to "strategically" confront the house regarding the way they ostracize .
Daniele's argument was that she finds her dads actions deplorable but that they really don't have anything to do with her. She also brings up the fact that no one else in the house is in her position. Dick will always be her dad inside and outside of the house.
She made some valid points and seemed to make some headway with the group. Jameka even apologized to Daniele about the religion comment. Once again, Daniele has proven to be a shrewd player. She's at least attempting to get in good with the house should her father leave and I think that's a smart play.
America's Player
America chose Jessica as the person Eric should give the silent treatment to. He failed for the most part, but his excuse of seeing the medic, coupled with a seed of doubt Jen planted in Jessica's head about Dustin caused Jessica to go into complete paranoia mode.
PoV Ceremony
Dick decided not to use the veto on himself and elected to take his daughter off of the block.
Jessica put up Dustin in Dick's stead.
If America is anything like me and found themselves hating Dick's presence in the house, he may have actually won back some fans tonight by making the ultimate sacrifice for his daughter. This could end up having a huge impact on this week's eviction.
If Daniele and Dick can somehow sway the vote of Zach and Jen in Dick's favor, I think there's a huge likelihood that America's vote (via Eric) may go towards getting Dustin kicked out of the house. Dustin is way to cocky at this point, and we all know that overconfidence has a tendency to lead to a player's demise. I pray that this is how it plays out. I can't bear to look at Dustin's chest for another week.
