random thoughts...
- sonia, whoever dresses you, fire them. seriously, your best outfit this season was the scifi piece. think about that for a second.
- speaking of sonia, i realised tonight that, as much as I hate sonia, I don't want a host at all. all they do is tell us what we're going to see, or tell us what we just saw. seriously, sonia can't even do that well, but we don't need it at all. how about you save 20 minutes of air time AND SHOW US SOME HOUSEMATE ACTION?
- on the update, i'll just cover two things. First, drew and jade - drew is fine with it, so how about all you tweens and drama queens give it up. jade's not some femme fatale or vixen or whore. she's needed to set some boundaries, but at the same time they have a genuine friendship and have shared an experience no one else can appreciate it. drew may not be getting the signals clearly (his fault maybe, but jade may suck at signalling - and both are responsible for not talking to clear the air, either), but this isn't a mess of jade's making. lay off her.
- second, drew and ed - clearly, this entire drama IS ED'S FAULT. Evidence #1) he asked for the second kiss at the "goodbye" last night, not jade. Evidence #2) he invited jade to sleep with him afterwards. Evidence #3) he got cold feet after heidi put the word on him, and then stumbled his way to back out of it. ed's a player, full stop, and he's a complete jerk - not prince charming, that's an act he uses to pull chicks. again, tweens and drama queens, until you learn to tell the difference, you're going to get hurt. see the eds of the world and run a mile, and at least do yourself the favour of not blaming jade for his shortcomings.
- on to nominations, and in general, i liked what I saw. well articulated, well thought out, and some early signs of strategy. Only Caleb (*zzzzz*) and Heidi (vindictive bitch) came across badly.
- once again we saw a thousand things mentioned in nominations that didn't come up during the daily shows. Squeegee-gate? Xavier-Jasmine fight for two days? Mikayla's kitchen nazism? fuck you very much, alex.
- tahan: how can you go up with your principles and your actions all week, then show up in the chamber and piss it all away by fiddle-faddling with your hair, whinging about your dryer, and then making superficial nominations? Seriously, woman, you can't be the total package if you act like an air head when the points matter.
- rohan gets the "that's some nerve" award for nominating tahan for saving his arse in the diary room challenge and then doing all the work to make dinner. seriously, who does tahan think she is?
- and seriously tahan, not one fucking point to rohan after all that? maybe without the hair dryer you just can't think too hard.
- katie and lucy: seriously, whichever one was handling the jade/ed fallout was a real doll, being supportive and positive and really geniune, and then in the chamber they were like completely psychic - i think they share a brain cell, like the stygian witches. i so wanted to not like them, but dammit, they continue to grow on me. and by nominating on positivity, they just might be the most principled people on the show.
- ok, ok, forget the rest of the noms, let's talk TIM YOU FUCKING LEGEND, YOU BEAUTY, YOU RIPPER. If you read my rambles, you know I'm no tim fan, but hot damn that was beautiful. Aside from busting tully's chops, he made it really clear what we all suspected: the chamber is a joke. that move earns major points in my book.
- and in terms of the tiebreak, not only did we have to deal with tully's waterworks (again), but then she whimps out and says "I won't pick matt". Seriously? then you just picked mikayla. pull on your big girl pants, make the call and own it like an adult. you are the most fragile, childish snowflake - why the fuck did you even sign up for this show?
that's all i got... there was more, but i lost the post and can't remember everything to type up again. excelsior.
I think the same way on most of your points
