Big Brother – Wednesday, August 29th - POV


I am so excited about tonight’s episode.  My BB After Dark friends have all been hinting that it will be another great episode. 
Well, surprise!  The episode begins by showing Danielle crying in the DR. She always cries when things aren’t going her way, and if she wants to win this game, she needs to get over that!  The Quack Pack is working on a plan to save both Danielle and Dan this week.  They are on a power high after evicting Boogie and Ashley last week, and they have Frank in their sites next week.  If one of them wins the veto this week, they will use it to remove Dan or Danielle, and then they will convince Ian to use his veto to save the other member. In order for this plan to succeed, either Shane or Britney will need to win.  If one of them wins, Frank can’t put up both Shane and Britney as replacements.  There would be enough of them still left to control the vote tomorrow, thus ensuring that the entire Quack Pack is safe this week.  The POV drawing couldn’t have gone better for them, as all of the members are competing in the competition.  Jenn approaches Frank before the competition, and she decides to ask Frank for safety and an alliance.  She needs to cover herself in case someone is taken off the block this week.  It’s a smart move on his part, only if he doesn’t have to put up two people, but I am assuming if he does he would choose Joe over Jenn.
The POV competition looks like so much fun!  People have been using the app Draw Something, which I suck at, to draw pictures for the HGs.  The first person to ring in and correctly identify the picture gets a pre-determined amount of points.  The person with the most points after ten rounds wins.  Of course, in true BB style, each correct answer and picture corresponds with a punishment.  Ian, as the dorky host, also informs the HGs that there is no collusion allowed.  If you help someone with an answer, you will be eliminated.  You will also be eliminated if you guess a picture and forgo the   Britney wants Dan and Danielle to throw the competition, so she or Shane can win. This would ensure their safety in the house along with their fellow Quack Packers.  Dan’s not buying it though, and he says he will actually try to win it himself.  I agree that in order to secure your own safety, you have to win that POV!  Each round I listed the picture, the points, the punishment, and the results.  Here is a breakdown of the rounds:

1.     Avocado – 2 points – Dying yourself green. – Frank wins and has to take a green ooze bath.
2.     Hunger – 5 points – Samples two of the four nasty food items – Dan wins this round
3.     Clock – 4 points - Burn your clothes in 90 seconds. – Jenn wins this round.
4.     Shackle – 6 points – Shackle yourself to a HG for 24 hours – Britney wins and chooses Danielle
5.     Shower – 7 points – Chum shower every time an alarm sounds for the next 24 hours. – Frank wins and accepts the punishment.
6.     Carrot – 2 points – Carrot-tard! – Well, Frank is no stranger to sweaty uniforms, so he gladly accepts the points and punishment.
7.     Bench – 10 points – You must sit out of the next eligible HOH competition.  Frank again accepts, and who needs HOH when you are Veto King!  I hope this doesn’t come and screw him over in the end.  Always focus on the end game!
8.     Spots – 6 points - the other HGs canvass you with paint for two minutes.  Danielle wins this easier challenge.
At least Frank now has more clothes!
9.     Trip – 8 points – Take a 24-hour trip to a solitary confinement dance party – Dan gets this one right and accepts the punishment.
10. Summer – 11 points – Britney rings in, but Frank helps her by giving her the answer.  Frank is sadly eliminated…
11. Ticket – 11 points – Take a slop ticket and eat slop for the rest of the summer.  Jenn takes the punishment and wins her first competition!  She is serious about helping Frank!

I have a little more respect for Jenn for what she did.  Frank needed this win for his own game, and now Dan has to rely 100% on Ian to use his veto to save himself.  Dan gets to experience 24 hours of confinement, and he decides to use this time to reflect on a new strategy.  I would personally use the time to sleep, but to each their own!  Britney also has to perform her punishment by being shackled to Danielle.  Frank also has to endure one his punishments by taking chum baths at each alarm.  He seems to take his punishment better than Dan fared his 24-hour confinement.  Afterward Dan decides to have a house meeting to air his realizations that he is going home. He calls it his funeral. I do not buy this crap.  It’s all an act.  He acted as American’s Player during his season, and he put on a great performance then, and he starts to give one now!  He goes around saying nice things to Jenn, Britney, Shane and Joe.  He then saves Ian, Frank and Danielle’s speeches for last.  I just want to let you know that my DVR is currently paused.  He is making a big spiel towards Ian, so that he will use the POV on him, he will probably butter up Frank to make him more of an ally than enemy, and then he has to save Danielle for last because he is her coach, and that’s his life.  Let’s see if I am right….He compliments Ian, and thanks him for making his house experience fun.  He saves Frank’s for later saying that he needs to talk to him one-on-one.  The one “surprising” thing comes when he tells Danielle that she’s basically a piece of crap, and she knows what she did.  I TOLD YOU!!! IT IS ALL AN ACT!  He says that he is done talking game, and leaves it at that.
Evil Genius?
The other HGs realize that he is trying to stay, and they console the now sobbing Danielle.  Dan goes up to the HOH room to talk to Frank.  Dan finally takes this opportunity to throw Ian under the bus.  Dan hints about the formation of another alliance, and Frank FINALLY realizes that Ian has screwed him over.  So the question is raised, who should the next person to be put up?  Why not Britney he asks?  Dan proposes an alliance between himself, Frank, Jenn and Danielle.  Dan’s plan hinges on the fact that Jenn should use her POV on him this week.  Not only does Dan want an alliance with Frank, he strikes a final two alliance with Frank as well.  I still don’t understand why Danielle is so upset.  I also don’t know why Dan has to put sympathy on Danielle’s side.  If this plan works, it will be brilliant.  Dan will be taken off the block; Britney will go in his place.  I wonder if Ian could at that point use his POV to saver her??   I will also take this time to admit, that even though I called out Dan for his act, I had the intentions all mixed up!
Ian has to use his veto first, and he doesn’t use it!  Jenn uses her POV to save Dan, and Frank calls out Ian in front of everyone.  He says that his closest alliance member has been evicted, and it’s time for Ian to feel the same.  So the little respect I gained for Jenn quickly evaporated as she bragged about making a big move this week.  You listened to Frank, that’s not really a big move, but whatever helps her sleep at night.  Britney says she doesn’t have any fight left, and I can understand why.  Hopefully, she can convince Shane, Ian and Joe to vote to save her.  She can make new promises to those three to take them far.  That is her only hope, and I hope she does put up a strong fight to stay in the house.  I am floored that Dan has managed to wiggle his way off the block this week.  I for sure thought he would be going home this week if the Quack Pack didn’t win veto.  This game makes me think of all the things that have to go right in order to win.  What if Dan used his HG choice veto chip to choose Joe?  Would Joe have won POV?  What if Britney actually managed to guess the word summer without Frank telling her?  I would be saying that Frank is going home soon since he can’t compete in the next two HOH competitions!  This game and show are awesome, and I would love to be a part of it!
So, everyone is right.  I didn’t see this coming, and I am so glad I wait each week to watch the episodes!  Who is going home?  What did you think of the episode!  What surprised you the most?  LET ME KNOW!
