Big Brother 13 : Reasons I Hate America and other musings

     A few random thoughts on where we are in the house before I get to this week's rankings...

     -- I wanted to believe that CBS rigged the vote to make sure Brendon returned to the game and the house went in to chaos.  The way the momentum was moving in the house, Brendon was the best ratings choice.  If I was a CBS executive, I would have voted for Brendon.  But then I heard the results of the Iowa straw poll and I realized that America is just stupid.  Something tells me Big Brother is big in the Mid-West, and if they think Michelle Bachmann is a valid candidate to run our country then why wouldn't they vote Brendon back into the Big Brother House?  The more troubling question is, has the Big Brother America vote become a sign of where the country electorate is at?  I think I'm ready to pull a Alec Baldwin and threaten to leave the country if this Brendon and Rachel support continues.  Hope you're happy watching the tears and sappy love speeches, America, it's what you voted for.

     -- Julie kept saying that for the first time in Big Brother history a player who was voted out was going to be brought back into the house.  Julie, you obviously forgot about season six when America got to vote Kaysar back in.

     -- I have no sympathy for Shelly and her whining and tears.  She made the stupidest game move this side of Lawon asking to be voted off.  She was doing a great job of playing both sides and then, for god knows what reason, decides to celebrate when Brendon gets back in the house.  She made it obviously clear what side of the house she was on and now should be going home.  She should have played it cool, continued to lay low and everything would have been fine.  To top it all off, after weeks of talking on camera about how she was playing both sides, to gets upset because Rachel is "lying."  As much as I hate Rachel, she never lied about Shelly.  Shelly was playing both sides, finally got caught doing it and now is having a revisionist memory of what she was doing in the house.  The only person Shelly should be mad at is herself.

     -- Porsche has to be the queen of the floaters.  I don't think I've seen a player go from totally entrenched in one side of the house to just as entrenched in the other so fast.  I can't believe we haven't had a Rachel confessional yet where she talks about how much she hates "Super Floater" Porsche.  I have no respect for her game play at all.

     -- Remember this moment, because I don't think it will happen again... for the first time in two seasons Brendon made sense and possible a great game move.  The best game play at the moment would be Daniele, Brendon and Rachel teaming up.  None of these three will win unless they are the final three, so why not carry each other there.  If I am Daniele, I'm not going into this pact without making it clear that Jeff and Jordan need to go next and that Kalia must be part of the alliance until the final four.

     Here's the rankings...

9) Porsche - she floats, she can't win competitions, and I find her super annoying.  She won't be the next one out, but she isn't winning.

8) Adam - for all the same reasons above

7) Shelly - if someone gets taken off the block this week there is a good chance Brendon will go home and then Shelly can try to rehabilitate her reputation, but things aren't looking good.

6) Brendon - again, if someone gets taken off the block, he's going home.  If not and he gets together with Daniele, he has a small chance of winning.

5) Rachel - she's like a cockroach, you just can't kill her.  If Brendon stays and the deal with Daniele works out she actually has a small chance of winning.  God help me.

4) Jeff - At some point people have to turn on him... they just have to.

3) Kalia - I'm getting really annoyed with her crying and game play, but it's working and she stands a good chance of lasting a long time.

2) Daniele - she really needs to keep the deal with Brendon and Rachel.  If she does, she seals her second victory.

1) Jordan - seriously, she isn't on any ones radar.  She's going to float through another season of this game.
