Spoiler Alert...Below are the results and my thoughts on this week's episodes of Big Brother 13. Also, we'll take a look at how Mags', Jaydon's, Larry's and my teams are stacking up on the fantasy side of things. So before reading any further, watch the eps, smile because Evel Dick might have had a death in the family, then read what I have to say.
When prodded with the all too serious question of "who am I supposed to like this season?" I respond with no hesitation...Brendon and Rachel. Although I was quite critical of the duo last season (here and here), by the end of the run I started to enjoy the train wreck that was Rachel crying or Brendon being an ogre. And every time Brendon so pathetically stated he "won this one for Rachel" I could not help but smile.
The start of the season has been no different. Thursday's episode was highlighted by Brendon's getting infuriated that Rachel was telling everyone that she called him "bookee." From his initial claim that they were now going to bed, to his explanation to her that is inappropriate because he is a medical professional, it was all comedic gold. To top it all off, there was the genius moment of television when Rachel begged for his forgiveness by first mentioning that she made the bed, and then proclaiming that she loved the big goofball three times before he solemnly returned the favor.
If you can't get over their annoyance enough to enjoy Brendon and Rachel's ridiculousness, then I turn to Jeff and Jordan. They are just two down to Earth, startlingly dumb individuals in the Big Brother house having a good time. Jeff will go off now and again, but for the most part he's just a good dude that is easy to root for. Are they as entertaining as Brendon and Rachel? No, but I'm always glad when they do well.
The easier question is "who do we not like at this early point in the season?" Keith, Shelly, Adam, Dominic, Lawon, Kalia, and Porsche just about rounds out the list. Since Shelly, Kalia and Porsche are neither a part of the Regulators, nor did they claim Donna Martin was their favorite 90210 character, they get a pass this week.
Keith, Dominic, Lawon, and sadly Cassie are a part of the Regulators, although only the first two seemed to be psyched about the group and the name of the group itself. Now that Keith is out of the house, I hope the idea of the Regulators flies out the window because it was simply the saddest cry to pretend you are the Brigade I have ever seen. To be fair, I was not a fan of the Brigade when they so quickly gave themselves a name and then individual nicknames, but those guys grew on you so quickly, that it was worth it. The regulators? Not so much. Keith, Dom, and Lawon are all the worst and I hope the other two join Keith as soon as possible.
Oh my goodness Adam, what are you doing? Stop giving such a bad name to those of us that are true fans of Beverly Hills, 90210. Not even taking into account how much of a loser he is for making the rocker hand signal and screaming in that weird voice every five seconds, Adam is my least favorite by far. The dude wants to thank Evel Dick because without him Big Brother would cast a metal fan on the show? Really? Big Brother discriminates against individual music preferences? It's not like you are all tatted up and pierced every which way? You're a normal dude from Hoboken who screams like an idiot, no doubt pretending to like metal music. And you are obviously not a true fan of 90210, because no one in their right mind has Donna Martin as their favorite character...
There are three acceptable answers to the question of "who is your favorite 90210 character?" Those are Dylan, Brandon, or Valerie. The first two are the obvious choices, because they are the biggest studs of the series. I myself am a Brandon man, but know of plenty of Dylan lovers. Some, though, prefer to have a female favorite character, and Valerie Malone was simply one of the most entertaining female characters in tv history. Donna Martin? She was the worst, and so are you Adam.
The obvious answer to the original question would have been Evel Dick, if he had not left for personal reasons. I still want a better answer from him for why he left the show, but for now that's all we have. With him now gone, some of your rooting interest has to fall with his daughter Daniele. I got into the show the year after these two went to the end, but she seems pretty fun so far. That bit about her feeling totally awkward when put on the spot from Julie was pretty good. I can get on board the Daniele Donato train if need be.
And it will be easy now that her Dad gave her possibly the best gift he ever could have. Going out first, and giving her a free pass to the Top 10, is basically giving her such a better chance at making it to the end. A contestant with her apparent skill having the ability to fly way under the radar for four straight weeks, hopefully staying friendly with everyone in the house, will give her a major advantage as things start to heat up down the stretch. If she doesn't make it to the final three, I would be very surprised.
Having said all of that, I'm really looking forward to next week's festivities. Now let's take a look at the scores...
