Another week of Jen?!
Last night, Carol became the first person evicted from the house in a 10-1 vote. We also learned the results of the America’s Player vote when Eric cast his vote to evict Carol.
Carol’s exit interview with Julie was unbearably boring, she seemed totally stunned by the cameras and lights and she basically had noting to say. When Julie asked her a question, she’d just stare on blankly for a few seconds before her brain could process an answer. The whole thing was dripping with that kind of fake politeness and cheery attitude you normally see in beauty pageants.
There was also a brief biography of Dick, which featured interviews with his son and his mother. It gave a bit more information about his feud with his daughter and why they haven’t spoken in years. Apparently, Dick had loaned Danielle some money, she didn’t pay it back and he “handled it wrong”, according to his son, Vincent. I still wanted to know more, but I think they’re saving it for later in hopes there will be a grand reconciliation between the two family members inside the house.
After the eviction, all the HGs headed off to the back yard to play the HOH competition. It was a majority-rule
game where they stayed in the game if they answered the same way as the majority of the house. I kept thinking that Joe might win, or possibly Eric. I was already wondering about the influence viewers would have if America’s Player won HOH. Would we be able to control nominations? Maybe we could vote for Eric to nominate Jen and get that annoying skank out of the house forever!
My hopes were shattered when it got down to the tie-breaker question. Julie asked, “How many gallons of water does the teacup in the back yard hold?” Everyone guessed high, over 100 gallons, except for Jen who wrote down 41. I rolled my eyes thinking she was going to be so wrong. The teacup is huge and could probably hold as much as a hot tub.
Julie said the correct answer was nine. Nine?! What?! She explained that, because of the open entrance, it could only hold nine gallons of water. It seemed like a trick question because everyone else seemed to assume she meant the whole teacup if there was a door holding the water in. Maybe I just thought it was a trick question because Jen won and, just like everyone in the house, I can’t stand her.
So this week Jen is HOH and it seems like she’s going to nominate Dick and Danielle. Lame! I don’t like Dick, but I will admit that he keeps the show interesting. Danielle’s also valuable to the entertainment value of the show because Nick seems really into her and their romance could make for good television. Hopefully, one of the less entertaining people will be voted out this week instead so it doesn’t turn boring before things really get rolling in the game.
