So, by this point the show has also aired on the West Coast, so if these are STILL spoilers to someone, it's your own fault for coming in here after a show has aired.
First off.. the conversation between Janelle and Erika outside. My god.. the two of them with their "Did they tell you that you were a member of Chill Town?" "Yes! Did they tell you?" "OMG YES!"... that was just amazing television to watch. Seeing the two of them finally figure it out, and Will squirming with the realization of how screwed he was.. just wow. This was up there with Kaysar telling Maggie that her partner's fate was sealed when Maggie still thought she was the only one to enter the house with a secret partner in Season Six. Just amazing.
Next, Janelle voting out Will. I wanted her to, but I HONESTLY did not expect it. I thought Erika was gone for sure, because Janelle just hadn't been in the right headspace with Will around her all the time. Her little speech of making no more mistakes was amazing to watch too (however, she obviously didn't mean it, as I will touch upon later).
A quick couple comments on the Sequester House bit.. the part where George snuck into the kitchen just as someone had said something demeaning about him was great. Even better was to see that Howie is still being a total ass. Good to know that my new hatred of him has a reason. Poor George when Howie was just nailing into him with the insults. It was funny when "Busto" April was getting thrashed, but George doesn't deserve it. I like you, man. You're real cool.
Back to the house for the first round of the HOH competition... right from the beginning, I knew that Janelle didn't understand the rules. She seems to have troubles with Julie Chen's instructions alot.. she is late giving answers in HOH competitions.. she forgets to turn off her light, or erase her board. She leaves us waiting as she writes down her answer "We need an answer, Janelle."
Boogie looked completely lost after Will walking out the door. He realized how screwed he was, because Will was running the whole show. He was ready to cry. His bit in the HOH competition was him trying to act cool, like he was in control. This move was definately a "Wow, this is exciting" moment, but it really got watered down by the quick shot of Janelle (not realizing the rules needed BOTH hands on the key at all times) taking one hand off her key.
Coming back from commercials, Boogie's move in the competition obviously wasn't anticipated as Julie Chen was now forced to trip over cue cards as the teleprompter wasn't prepared for this situation. Things went more downhill as Janelle took her hand off the key for a second time (still unaware that BOTH hands must be on the key) and the competition was ended before the volcano even began to do anything (wow.. all that money down the drain!!
).
"I didn't take my hands off the key!" That's right, Janelle.. you didn't take both off.. but unfortunately (not emphasized in the rules, however), one hand off means you were out.
I would have liked to see how far Janelle would have gone in that competition, as well as what the volcano was going to do, but I guess we won't know this time. Considering that Boogie is just going to quit the next round as well, they might as well just skip on to Janelle versus Erika for the final round and the final HOH.
If Erika wins HOH, will she take Janelle or Boogie? At this point, especially considering her message (about how Chill Town was found out) to Will.. I think Erika will take Janelle and kick out Boogie. It just depends if Boogie can work any magic on her without the puppet master telling him what to do.
Damn.. I wish it was Thursday already.
EDIT: I find it a bit ironic that the three people discussing the
US Big Brother are all from Alberta, Canada.
