Big Brother- Mean Girls Too

Spoiler alert...Below are some thoughts on the second week of Big Brother 12. So watch the eps, lie about your significant other's health status, and read what I had to say.

Britney- "I am so gonna miss sitting in the back yard and talking with you about how high waisted Kristen's pants are, and how skanky Rachel's dressing every day, and how annoying her laugh is, and all the things we could do with her hair extensions. It's gonna be really, really, really hard without you."

What an incredible end to an unbelievable week long performance by Britney. That has to go down as the best farewell speech of all time right? It was the best I've heard in the past three years, that's for sure. Not only did the Britney/Monet power house of comedy and awesomeness come out of nowhere in week two, it came out extremely strong.

They started out on Sunday just getting clips of them hating on every single person in the house. As I hate most people, it is great to here others hate on the terrible attributes of others. As Wednesday's ep came along the duo kept bringing the heat and stepped their game up a bit too with gems from Britney like...
"I don't usually just like to hang out with whores like for fun." And...
"Every time she wears a skirt I feel like STDs have gone airborn."
Then on Thursday Britney capped the whole week off with that fantastic farewell speech to her best pal Monet who got the boot and is the second contestant to leave the house.

As the great Pete Bell once said, "It doesn't matter what you do, God Damnit! It's how you do it!" Because if Natalie and Lydia were saying these same things last season I'd want to throw up or slap them in the face. There's something endearing about Britney when she acts like a complete jerk and she's going places for it.

And then there was the week that Matt had for himself. I'm a bit more confused by this situation. At first I wasn't a big Matt fan because of how bad he seemed to be at playing the game. But then he came up with the whole 'faking his wife's health status' thing.

You see one of my rules of Big Brother is that this thing is a game. Anything you do or say in the house is part of the game and in no way is indicative of how you may or may not behave in the real world. So making up some story that your wife has a disease in which she could lose her leg in order to gain sympathy from the other contestants is fine by me.

I love the effort by Matt, but dislike both the execution and the timing. It is way too early bro. He came dangerously close, like Brian a few years ago, of getting sent to the showers quickly for playing the game too hard, too fast. Again I'm fine with making up this story, it's actually kind of funny to me, but do it half way through the game. Don't shake things up so early on.

Secondly his execution while telling the story was God awful. He was smiling and laughing in telling to anyone who would listen. Show some different emotions if you want people to buy this as a sad tale.

Unlike Dan Gheesling from a few seasons back, who was controlling the game at one point, Matt merely thinks he is pulling a number on everyone by offering himself up as a pawn and then crying to Britney and Monet about it. He's lucky that getting called out on the whole thing didn't send him home right then and there. It's a good thing for him he has The Brigade on his side.
