7/28 Show Recap: Ivette, She's GAY!

Previously on BB6..
Kaysar won HOH, and he nominated Maggie & James for eviction. Eric campaigns to save Maggie, so James jumps the Cappy ship to the other side. After confessing to Kaysar that he and Sarah are a pair, they devise a veto plan to hopefully remove James from the block, and throw up Eric in his place. A new alliance of 6 is formed and the veto plan goes off without a hitch.

Useless Info...
Julie Chen tells us that it's day 26 in the Big Brother house, and that she will officially confirm to the houseguests something they have already been suspecting, that they all have a secret partner. Or, as I put it, tell them something they already know. Woo. However, they will find out this tidbit...that the runner up will go home with $250,000, while the winner will get the biggest prize in Big Brother history, $1,000,000. After taxes, that's enough for around 300,000 jars of peanut butter.

You Say we need a Revolution??
As we re-live the veto ceremony, Kaysar states that he knew he was going to flip everything upside down and cause a revolution. Eric, unsurpised at being nominated, says that he didn't look at James and Kaysar because they are not worth his eyesight. Always full of snappy metaphors, when Sarah tries to comfort him after his nomination, Eric tells her "don't piss in my ear and tell me it's raining." Now, if I were Sarah, I would have replied "well don't lay your head so close to the toilet" but since I'm not her, and my reply doesn't make a lot of sense, we'll leave that alone.

Maggie knows that one of them is leaving, and that it's sad. Eric, wondering if everyone was in on the plan to put him on the block, confronts Ivette with "just look me in the eye and tell me you weren't in on it". Ivette says she'll grab her bags and walk out the door. Now, was that a straight answer? I didn't think so. In the diary room Ivette says from the moment she came into the BB house, her heart belonged to Cappy, and that is where her heart will remain. Which is sad, really, because if he is evicted, she might NEED her heart while she's in the house, being a vital organ and all. Maggie helpfully points out that one of them is going to stay, and that there's not a thing they can do about it. *cue foreshadowing music*

To the living room for houseguest questions...
Julie asks James what has surprised him the most, and he says "Everything, just take one week at a time." April gets asked what kind of food she would wish for from home and her answer is any kind of seafood, and tells us that she has lost a whopping 6 lbs since entering the house. Beau gets called upon to tell which houseguest has the most fashion sense, to which he declares "Besides myself, I'd have to say Ivette". When asked who desperately needs his assistance as their personal shopper, he answers "it's a tie between Cappy and Howie." Well, at least he answered that question truthfully. Julie then addresses Howie, to ask him the most important
question that she'll ask tonight...."how do you spell rhubarb?" Howie, ever the clown, says he's never eaten it before, so it makes it difficult to spell. Personally I can spell lots of things I won't eat, like gizzards or peas. Howie gets it right, to much applause.

Opposites attract..
We are going to get to see how Kaysar and Janelle's families feel about them teaming up in the house. First we go to Kaysar's parents' house, in Orange Country, CA. A cute little boy I assume is his nephew is wearing a "GO KAYSAR!" t-shirt. His sister, Dalia, says that the drinking and girls in bikinis is totally different than how they were brought up. Kaysar's father says they came to the U.S.A. 23 years ago for freedom, his mother says she prays for him constantly, and we get to see adorable little boy pics of Kaysar. Janelle grew up Grand Rapids, Minnesota. Her very pretty mother, Ann, informs us that Minnesota never had enough pizazz for Janelle. She says she was always very atheletic and strong-willed, well-read and intelligent. Ann feels that Janelle is drawn to Kaysar because he's different from her, while Kaysar's family likes the way that Janelle is playing the game. The only other thing we learn from this segment is that Kaysar's family really, really likes the color gold.

The truth will set you free...
The houseguests have started to guess who the pairs are, so they gather in the living room for confession time. Beau confronts James about his being a teacher, to which James says he doesn't even have a college degree, and that he's 29, not 27. Eric confesses that he and Maggie have known each other for years, which prompts Ivette to announce that she needs Xanax. I agree, please give her some Xanax. Kayser says he met Michael in a coffee shop, Janelle says that she and Ashlea used to live together, and Howie says that he met Rachel about ten years ago. April still denies knowing Jennifer, and Ivette says she doesn't know Beau. Howie, in the diary room, says what I am thinking about the four supposed wild cards, "yeah, right". A faux-crying Ivette tells Maggie that it's not fair that she doesn't have anybody in this house, anyone to play with, to play for, while the others do. Later Ivette cackles in the diary room accepting her imaginary Oscar for her performance,which basically consisted of raising one eyebrow higher than the other, and screwing up her face like she ate turkey pot poi again.

April and Jennifer decide it could be to their benefit to come clean about knowing each other before Beau and Ivette do, and they use the line "we know each other, but we don't know each other" saying they've met in real life a couple of times. After relaying this info to Eric, April asks Ivette about her attachment to Beau, while Ivette coyly says they picked Beau FOR her, for a reason. It dawns on Eric at this point that since Beau is gay, maybe Ivette is as well, and he asks her. Then we see Ivette in the diary room stating "I'm gay! So there! How do you like those apples?" While the wording at the bottom of the televsion screen says "Ivette, She's Gay". Looks like the BB producers have a little snark in them, as well.

Time for the eviction...they each get final words.
Eric rambles on about the opportunity, the friendships, and his morals and standards that are even deeper now than ever. One can only suppose this includes standards like charging other humans like a raging bull like he did to Michael? He ends his speech with "lights out, fishes." WHAT? He ends his speech by wishing darkness upon poor little fish? Can't you see him practicing that line before hand, in the mirror, like Deniro in "Taxi Driver" with various glares and gestures? "Lights OUT fishes! LIGHTS out fishes! Lights out FISHES!" uh......nevermind. Maggie wants to thank all the houseguests, her family, BB, for this amazing opportunity. The amazing opportunity to shower and sleep with strangers while being on food restriction. Okay, so that last part was mine.

The votes are in, by a vote of 5-4 Eric has been evicted. Eric grabs his bag, and walks to the door saying "no tears guys, no tears." He hugs Beau, Jennifer and April, telling them all he loves them, then bear-hugs Ivette and Maggie in turn still saying "no tears." Then to Maggie, he says "win!" and he scurries out for his exit interview with Julie. Julie points out that last week he was HOH, and now he's out, to which Eric says "it was a short ride from first to worst." When asked what he will tell his kids about the whole BB experience, he says he'll say their father is a man of his word, that money is not everything, and the best thing he got out of this are the friendships he never expected. Maggie has left him a tearful farewell message, warning us all that there is a side to her the other houseguests haven't seen, and they will see it if he is gone and she's still there. *foreshadowing music plays louder*

HOH competition...
The HOH competition is called "Power Roller". Two skee ball lanes are set up side by side. (if you're not familiar with skee ball, it's like bowling up a ramp with a wooden ball the size of a softball. Better yet, go to Chuck E. Cheese and find out for yourself). These lanes have one hole at the end, with four rings drawn around it and three holes randomly mid-lane. The object of the competition is to get their ball the closest to the end hole to be the new HOH. If their ball falls into any hole, they are out of the competition. First up, Janelle, who gets fairly close to the designated area. Next, Howie, who throws too hard and his balls goes off the end. He's eliminated. Ivette's goes off the end, eliminated. James' stays on the lane, but not as close as Janelle's, he's eliminated. April is next, and it falls perfectly into the hole at the end, eliminated. Beau's stays on the lane, but not as close as Janelle's, and he is also eliminated. Jennifer rolls it straight into one of the mid-lane holes, eliminated. Maggie is next, and she rolls it closer to the target area than Janelle, so Maggie is the new leader and Janelle is eliminated. Rachel rolls hers off the end, eliminated. Sarah is last, and her ball immediately falls into a hole, eliminated. This means Maggie is the new Head of Household. Beau, April, Ivette and Jennifer all huddle around Maggie screaming and hugging. Kaysar walks over to give Maggie the HOH key, and somewhere...Eric is doing a leprechaun dance. Who will Maggie nominate? Will there be any food other than peanut butter this week? Stay tuned........

Yeow, er, MEOW!

Well done, suncat

Hope you enjoyed writing as much as I enjoyed reading

"and somewhere...Eric is doing a leprechaun dance"

While I cackle everytime I think of Eric as leprechaun, somehow half pint comes across more like Rumplestiltskin to me. Didn't he have a rage control issue as well?

Stellar debut, Suncat! I laughed my way through, especially these moments:

Quote:
After taxes, that's enough for around 300,000 jars of peanut butter.

ow, if I were Sarah, I would have replied "well don't lay your head so close to the toilet"

I agree, please give her some Xanax.

Later Ivette cackles in the diary room accepting her imaginary Oscar for her performance,which basically consisted of raising one eyebrow higher than the other, and screwing up her face like she ate turkey pot poi again.

WHAT? He ends his speech by wishing darkness upon poor little fish? Can't you see him practicing that line before hand, in the mirror, like Deniro in "Taxi Driver" with various glares and gestures?

The amazing opportunity to shower and sleep with strangers while being on food restriction.

Better yet, go to Chuck E. Cheese and find out for yourself.

somewhere...Eric is doing a leprechaun dance.
I'm so glad you joined the writing team!
