Big Brother – Thursday, August 30th – Eviction


Wow, I don’t think Julie has ever praised a HG as much as she did with Dan tonight.  I have some time to think about it, and I must admit that Dan made a brilliant move.  Not only did he get himself off of the block for the week, when I was convinced he was going home, but he also probably secured Britney’s eviction tonight.  There will be 5 votes tonight, so you just need 3 votes in order to be kicked out. 
Since this is an eviction episode, I must bring up my 3 salient points again.  My “sure” signs you are going home tonight.  The first sign that Britney is probably going to be living la vida loca with Ashley is that she is dressed up.  Danielle looks like she is ready to compete in tonight’s HOH.  The 2nd point is when BB tries to convince you of something you know is not true.  I will hit on this as we go along through the episode. I know I usually say there is no crying in BB, but I would be upset too if I were going home before Jenn and Joe.  Britney asks Danielle if she knew she was going up in Dan’s place.  She says she is alone in the house, and that Dan is no longer helping her.  I now understand the importance of Dan pitting himself against Danielle.  I will admit I didn’t even consider that, and I will again give Dan a “Ben high-five” of approval of using his confinement wisely. 
Ian's tries to ruin Frank's game
Oh, how the tables have turned against Ian.  Frank started off the week all alone in this house, and if Britney goes home, then Ian will be all by himself.  Britney straight up asks Dan if she is the target this week.  He said that that she would have to talk to the HOH.  Britney basically threatened Dan by saying that it’s important to treat people nicely, especially when they are about to become a juror.  Britney begs Jenn and Frank to keep her this week by offering them both safety next week.  However, Frank still believes that Britney is Ian’s biggest ally.  Ian blows up at Frank, and he tries to disparage Frank’s game.  Well, isn’t this just a case of the nerd calling the carrot orange?  Ian tries to play off his actions last week by saying he only had 3.5 seconds to make all of his decisions during the live show.  I will go ahead and call him out with Frank.  Ian knew what he was doing.  He wasn’t duped by anyone by trying to evict Frank last week.  He is now in a tight corner, and he is trying to explain something that is not justifiable. 
Just think how close Britney was to winning that extra veto this week?  Ian pulls out his biggest threat by saying no one will win against Frank in the final two, so everyone should vote him out next week.  Frank walks away, and in true Ian fashion, he flips him off behind his back. 
Well, what would a live episode without the winner of Britney’s season sounding off on the Twitter machines?  Poor, dumb Hayden tweets and uses the #Bragade.  Just because you were in the alliance, apparently doesn’t mean you know how to spell it.  I thought it was funny and fitting for him!
Well, Britney tries a new tactic.  Instead of trying to gather up some votes for the week, she goes on a tirade against Dan.  She says that he is a master manipulator, and the downside to Dan’s master plan is that now he is the biggest target in the house.  Remember when Dan was a few votes away from being evicted when his last member on his team was on the block?  This game changes all the time, and it goes to show that you are never down and out….unless you are Britney.  Shane makes this about himself, and he is upset about having to voting out his friend or his coach.  If I were him, I would vote to save Britney as she has a better chance at keeping him safe.  Dan will want Danielle to cut off all ties with him in the near future. 
Julie goes in for the live chat session with the HGs, and like I said in previous posts, they usually give generic PC answers, so I usually don’t comment on them.  However, the Chenbot asks Jenn, “How hard was it to use your veto to save Dan?”  She replied, “It was the hardest decision I had to make all game.”  You want to know why it was the hardest decision?  It’s because you haven’t had to make any, as this was the first competition you have won!  By the way, I think that the first person eliminated in tonight’s HOH should be rewarded!  It would make the other HGs so angry.  #BBReward.
Love them or hate them!  BRIGADE!
Then comes the best part of the episode.  They bring back the Brigade for an interview!  I forgot that Enzo called himself the Meow Meow.  Since he came up with the alliance, I still think he is still harboring resentment that they booted him out.  Of course Lane is team Britney this season.  He almost ruined her engagement by flirting with her all season.  Maybe that’s why she thought she would have gone further in her season.  Of course they start ripping on the Quack Pack.  Lane goes as far as saying he would like to be able to carry Ian around in his fanny pack.  The only reason would be to have Ian calculate a 15% of all of his checks at restaurants.  First, who just tips 15%?  Second, this is a huge failure on our education system if he can’t even calculate 15% of $30.  Third, this is why people voted for Hayden to win over him.  They make fun of pretty boy Shane, and it’s hilarious!  Enzo said that Dan is like a werewolf in sheep’s clothing, and that he needs to shave his arms.  How can you give another man manscaping advice after ridiculing Shane for being high maintenance? 
Well, BB didn’t spend a whole lot of time showing Britney fighting to stay in the house, but I still have to give her the 2nd eviction point of the night as well.  Danielle gave Britney a goodbye message in person, so I am assuming she is safe.  Britney gives the classic “do what’s best for your game speech”, and if she wasn’t going home before, she certainly gets my 3rd and final eviction point of the night and a nice meeting with Julie.  Here’s how the votes went down:

Dan – Britney – I thought for a brief second that the fourth part of his funeral plan would come into fruition, and he would vote to save her.  Wouldn’t that have been epic?
       Jenn – Britney
       Ian – Danielle
       Shane – Britney – what an idiot
       Joe – Britney – He needs to go next
            Well, after evicting out the evil Boogie last week, Britney has sadly been evicted tonight.  She is obviously a fan favorite, and I am afraid if all the good players keep getting evicted, this season will end in a fizzle.  At this point, I would love to see Frank, Dan, Ian and Danielle in the final four.  It would make for the most interesting end to this season.  I have asked this question after Wil’s and Ashley’s eviction.  I will ask it again of Britney.  Should she be mad that she evicted Janelle a few week’s back?  Oh, I do love this game, and I love that Ian vowed vengeance on Frank.  We all know that he can’t do it, but it will be fun to see him try!  Julie then says that the finale is less than three weeks away!  I can’t believe this season is almost over, and hopefully it means another night of double evictions! 
            The HOH competition begins and I am frustrated that we have to wait until Sunday to see who wins.  Well, Danielle and Shane have both excelled in these competitions this season, so I am thinking that one of them will win.  Ian looks resolute and he has to fight for his safety this week.  I might have to break my no BB After Dark rule and see who wins later tonight.  Janelle is still using her Twitter platform to root for Joe.  Well, he may be the most “loyal” in the house, but I have a feeling that either he or Jenn will be getting the BB punishment tonight.  Well, that was a shocker.  We come back from commercial break, and Joe had already fallen.  I was just about to type that I am pretty sure no one has ever been eliminated before the show ends, while I was fast-forwarding through commercials, so  I guess Joe is definitely the first!  I wonder what his punishment will be?  Next week is another double eviction episode!  That will make for another great week of programming!  And just like that Jenn falls after hitting the meteor.  Maybe we can see the winner before the end credits!?  Oh, guess not. 
            Were you surprised to that Britney was evicted?  Who do you want to win HOH?  Who should win the game?  Sound off in the comment section below!
