Big Brother 11

I found out that my kids did record Fri/Sat After Dark for me.  Long story of how they did it… I don’t know how they figured that out, but set it to record one minute before midnight for three hours and one minute, so it was listed under the title of the previous show.  I had no idea you could do that, but I’m happy my kids are smarter than me sometimes.

SPOILER ALERT!

So, I watched six hours of After Dark last night.  Much to my dismay, Michelle won the POV.  She wants Jeff to stay.  I don’t know why exactly… I guess she figures he’s the one she’d have the best chance against in the final two… plus, she has a little crush on him.  She tried to make a deal and convince Kevin to keep him, but I really think Kevin wants and needs to evict Jeff.  PFOOEY!  I did have a glimpse of hope as she was planning this strategy and then talking with Kevin about it, but then when Kevin was telling Natalie everything she said, I lost that hope.

Jordan and Michelle were both pretty drunk last night.  Jordan was so funny and cute… crying because she thinks Jeff is being evicted.  Michelle was not so funny nor as cute.  She was kind of slutty, IMO.  She went inside and got into her little bikini and strutted around in front of Jeff.  If there weren’t cameras on her so that her husband could see, I’d be willing to bet she’d try something with Jeff the minute Jordan was gone… another reason she wants Jeff to stay… it would mean Jordan would go.  I hate Michelle.  I hope Jordan kicks her ass.

Long time no see

I haven’t blogged in a long, long time.  I started a post in January, but never finished it.  That sucks because I was reading what I had written so far and it was about a jury that I was on. I was going to write all about the case, but now that it’s nearly September, I doubt I would remember enough of the details to make it interesting to anyone.  I wish I had finished it back then because it was such a great experience for me.

I’m having a bad experience right now. Sneezing.  I have to take an allergy pill.  The other day I took one and it made me drowsy.  It was the “non-drowsy” kind, but it put me to sleep anyway.  I really don’t want to have that feeling, but the alternative will not do either.  I’m about ready to die… not really, but…

OK… I just got back from the medicine cabinet and guess what I found out.  There are two packages of allergy medicine in there.  The one I took last time does not say “non-drowsy” anywhere on it.  So I guess that explains that.  I should definitely pay closer attention to medicine I’m taking. 

Changing the subject…  Anyone watching Big Brother this season?  I actually broke down and ordered Showtime so I could watch the “After Dark” shows.  The problem is my stupid DVR won’t always record it.  So unless I’m up at midnight to manually push the record button at that time, I don’t see it.  The night before last I stayed up because my DVR wouldn’t record it… I think it’s temperamental about the date change, but every time I set it to record, I set it to record every episode automatically.  So I shouldn’t have to do it every night.  But most of the time it doesn’t work.  Last night I went to bed early (about 11:30) and asked my kids to make sure it records (they were up playing video games), but either they forgot or couldn’t get it to work and gave up.  Anyway, I’m pissed off and that’s why I’m blogging right now. 

I really like Jeff and Jordan.  Jeff’s not too bright when it comes to book smarts, but he’s the most mature of the houseguests, knows how to play the game wisely and fairly,… and the best looking in a long time.  I thought at the beginning of the season that I wouldn’t like Jordan based on past seasons’ blonde bimbos, but she turned out to be a real sweetheart.  I love them together… they’re so cute.  

I hate how I spend so much time watching these people and once the show is over, they’re never heard from again.  I want to know what will happen between the two of them.  I probably will never know, though.  But for now, I think Jeff is really in love with her.  For some reason, she doesn’t have the same feelings for him.  Maybe she does, and she is just protecting herself in case things go wrong and he has to evict her or she has to evict him.  If there are hard feelings either way, it would definitely hurt more.  But, I think they both understand how the game works and there’s no guarantee that they will be in the final two together.  But I hope they are.  It doesn’t matter to me which one wins.  Jeff is my favorite, but Jordan might need the money more.

If neither Jeff or Jordan win, I would root for Kevin.  I don’t like Natalie that much and although it was smart game play to start the lie about Russell, Kevin did the hard part.  They really lucked out that although it was a lie, it was also true.  I mean, they didn’t actually overhear Russell making plans to get Jeff out, but he really did have plans to get Jeff out, so Lucky Them.  I don’t think Natalie deserves to win just because she got lucky on that one.  She hasn’t won anything… except poker.  You can’t count the first competition because Russell was still in the game at the end, too.  So, unless she wins the next two POV’s or something, she should go soon.  She won’t go this week.  Well, the only way is if Kevin nominates Michelle and either Jeff or Jordan, then either Jordan or Jeff (whichever is not on the block) wins POV, then Kevin will have to put her up.  Then, Jeff and Jordan will decide who goes home.  It probably doesn’t matter which one of the girls leaves at this point, but I would guess they’d keep Natalie since she’s no threat… she never wins.  And in that case, it would be Jeff, Jordan, and Natalie for the next HOH, so chances are excellent that at least one of them (Jeff or Jordan) would be in the final two. 

Assuming that Michelle is nominated this week and doesn’t win POV, I’m pretty sure she’ll be evicted.  If so, I’ve come up with the remaining scenarios.  Since Kevin cannot be HOH, he has the worst chances for next week.  POV is the only way to be safe in this game from here on.  I think Jeff and Jordan would be making a mistake if they ended up evicting Natalie over Kevin.  He’s well liked and could win against either of them… I think.  Jesse did say he might just vote for Jeff.  I don’t know if the others would or not… probably.  I think it’s anyone’s game.  My prediction is that either Jeff or Kevin wins.  Or Jordan. No, Jeff.  Final answer.
