Week 5 – The Veto Show
Last night’s show was interesting but not must see television. Cabin fever has definitely settled into place in the Big Brother household and there were a lot of confrontations in the house this week.
This episode really focused on every player in the house to varying degrees so I thought I would take the same approach with this recap.
Chima – I do not like Chima at all and after what we learned last week I can’t insult her either. The truth isn’t an insult though and Chima has a real problem with men. Yes, its understandable why because of her past but her short temper has kept her a target in this game since week one. She has HoH this week but I don’t see her making it all the way to the end. If she does she will not win the game.
Chima did call Russell a terrorist last night and if Russell is of Middle Eastern descent, Russell was correct in calling it a racist statement. We all understand what Chima was trying to say but in this day and age you have to be politically correct. Her sentiment was spot on but she could have used a better word.
Michele – Michele no longer is my favorite in the house, I don’t have any favorites in the house anymore. She knows she lied to Russell and Chima about their conversation where she admitted to Russell that Chima wanted to backdoor him. She admitted in the diary room that she thought the conversation was private. I was hoping she would finally cop to it and explain why she lied to him but she did not, instead she completely denied it and bad mouthed Russell some more to Chima. Right now Michele is literally the definition of a floater. She cozies up to whoever is the HoH each particular week. I wonder when the other house guests will pick up on that fact?
Jordan – She still contributes nothing but a vote to the game. The producers only continue to feature her every episode because she is blond and pretty. I dare you to give me another reason why we should hear from her on a weekly basis.
Jeff – He was one of my early season favorites but he isn’t that bright. He is head over heels for Jordan and its clouding his judgment. I understand he wants to protect her but I fear he might jeporadize his chances of winning. I am hoping Jeff uses the Coup D’Etat but he has to do it right and pull down Russell as well. If Jeff wants to send a point home to Chima he needs to put up both Natalie and Jesse in order to make sure one of them goes home. Russell has endeared himself to no one so whoever goes up against him this week is likely safe.
Russell – His paranoia and temper are getting the best of him. He really has no one to blame for the position he is in right now but himself. I don’t want to see Chima get her way but not as much as I want to see Russell go home. He has been a bully in the house and intimidates people. Some people enjoy watching that kind of conflict, and I do too occasionally but not on a regular basis.
Natalie – I think I overestimated Natalie’s ability. She isn’t a floater but she doesn’t seem to be able to be competitive in competitions. Also, remember when she said she was 24 but will pretend to be 18? It doesn’t seem to be that much of a stretch for her since her attitude has progressively gotten worse. I don’t know if its the slop or arrogance but she has few friends in the house and isn’t really making a concerted effort to obtain more.
Jesse – I like Jesse this season and I hope America does as well. He has learned a lot from last season and has been more humble and focusses more on the game. He still can act like an ass at times but he is always thinking about the game. The way he kicked out Casey and his alliance with Chima and Natalie may come back to bite him but of his alliance, I think the other house guests are most receptive to him.
Lydia – Just annoying and means little to the game.
Kevin – He played it smart by not using the veto. He could have saved Lydia but why? What has she done in the game to prove that she is a valuable asset? If the nominations remain the same she is likely safe and Kevin didn’t have to stick out his neck to make sure of that. It was a smart game play.
Who will get evicted?
I think Jesse will be going home this week. I think Jeff will remove both nominees and put up Natalie and Jesse. Natalie is the more annoying of the two but Jesse has been the better gamer so far. Unless Natalie wins the HoH this week, expect Natalie and Chima to be on the block next week with Chima likely to go home.
