Big Brother: No Honor Among Thieves
Commentary by Big Sister
August 24, 2007
Warning: Spoiler Material Below
Jen was evicted from the Big Brother house last night as expected. In her pre-vote speech she said she was an honest and positive person who didn't fit in with the other people in the house. It was bit self-serving to say the very least. On her way out the door Eric, who represents America but not me, said that she may be happy to be leaving but they are happier that she is gone.
Eric seems to be grooming himself to be Dick Junior. He is becoming so obnoxious that I no longer want to watch him. But I have to. He has no class. He's not a gentleman. Having been part of the team that won the battle to evict Jen he shows what an obnoxious little twerp he is. He can't even show grace to the defeated. I am hoping that Jessica is mature enough to understand this and when she has used him for what he is good for, will then dump him at the wrap party.
I'm not a fan of Jen either. I certainly didn't want her to win the game. But I admire what she did this week. When it was clear that she was going home she made a decision that she would rather eat and take the penalty for it. It was a conscious decision after considering the consequences. She is not the only person to cheat this season, but she is the only person to be penalized. She is also the only person to blatantly and honestly admit she was cheating. She openly defied Big Brother. She took the penalty she deserved in good spirits and walked out of the house with her head held high. Good for her.
I'm having problems with the hamsters who our talking about her destroying the integrity of the game. What bullshit! Where is the integrity in threatening to tell the word about someone lying to their boyfriend about abortions and using that information to gain advantage in the game? Where is the integrity in throwing people's things over the fence? Where is the integrity in pouring drinks over someone's head? Where is the integrity in racist, homophobic, anti-religious rants? Where is the integrity in using your father to abuse your competition in an effort to win the game? Where is the integrity in cheating on your boyfriend? Where is the integrity in asking God to help you win Big Brother?
Perhaps it is the difference between personal integrity and "the integrity of the game."
I would guess so because no one in this house has demonstrated personal integrity.
When you can not find one person in the house that you can admire and respect, even for their game play, the joy of watching the show is taken away from you.
When you see inept and ham-fisted producers openly manipulating the game in an effort to influence who stays and who goes you realize that the players are not the only ones that lack integrity. There is no integrity in the game either.
But the ratings are up. You can expect it to get even worse next season. Perhaps they'll replace the ChenBot with Jerry Springer. He can even bring his security force.
Jessica won HoH again last night. Yesterday I wrote that there were only two people that would really play for HoH last night. Dick and Jessica. They were the final two and Jessica won. Who will she nominate? My first thought was she would just repeat the nominations of Jameka and Amber and then backdoor Zach. We'll know later today who she will nominate. I'll have a report up as soon as I know.
But I'm hoping she will do something more intelligent. I'd like to see her nominate Amber and Zach. Then leave the door open for a Dick or Daniele exit. I think it might be interesting to see how the house reacts to that. And what would Big Brother do to prevent one of "their" final two from going home? But she may not bother. She is playing for final four right now. I suspect she thinks that if she makes it there she can get rid of Eric. Then if she can win the final HoH she goes to final two against her choice of Dick or Daniele. I think she'd win against either of them. At least I hope so.
Let's see what happened after the live show last night......
Because of her sisterly relation to her "Big Brother" it's really important that Big Sister's identity remain covert - we wouldn't want the parental unit getting wind of her snooping and "ground" her. Fortunately around here they can keep a secret much better than most of the major networks!
