BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Things Are Heating Up. Sort of.

bb-10.jpg

You guys… I think I really like this season of Big Brother so far. I know it’s early, and I know nothing really has happened, but we’ve only had two episodes; so we can’t expect too much. That being said, the potential for scheming feels high. With the four coaches already plotting each other’s demise and their underlings already making sneaky deals, I’m enthused about the direction of this season. Then again, I was really psyched about last year at the outset, only to watch the newbies all fall under the spell of the vets.

Luckily, the new kids this time around can be starstruck, and it will only enhance the game. With the vets playing their own competition and playing the newbies against each other, I’m confident things will get real tense real quickly. The real question is if anyone will betray their team because that will certainly lead to serious DRAMZ.

Anyway, on this second episode, we began to get a clearer view of the characters. Ian, it turns out, is a major oddball. His penchant for roaming the house shirtless is a bit worrisome. I usually like to leave that responsibility to the resident hunk, not the green bean, of the house. Everyone seems to be wary of him and his strange, tiptoeing ways, but if there’s anything we’ve seen in past seasons, it’s the first week pariah becoming the lovable star of the house. Just look at Marcellas or even Janelle (don’t forget that in her first week, she was viewed as a ditzy blonde Playboy type). There still is potential for Ian to strangely win over the house. Buuuuut it may be a longshot.

Meanwhile, Danielle is starting to bug me with her caked on makeup and sweet Southern girl gambit. She’s too nice and charming and has no business being on this cutthroat show. A waste of space.

And then we have Frank, who I thought would be annoying eccentric, what with his big hair. Turns out he seems really cool. I may like him the most of the newbies. Too bad he totally got played by Willie, who finally came out of the Hantz closet. The two guys had brokered a deal for safety, but when Team Britney and Team Janelle joined forces and decided that Frank needed to be nominated, the poor guy got stabbed in the back. Who would have thought that a Hantz would be duplicitous?

Truly the most annoying cast member of the brood is none other than Chef Joe, who not only burns through the house’s ingredients, he burns through my ears with his Diary Room shouting. The guy sounds not unlike Yosemite Sam, but less refined. There’s something truly irritable about players who adopt a whole new persona in the Diary Room — it’s a lack of authenticity mixed with an unflinching desire to endear themselves to America that I find utterly annoying. I was excited when Willie briefly contemplated nominating the rowdy chef, but alas, he instead opted for Kara (Team Dan, Team Boring) and Frank.

As for Ian, he managed to survive the week thanks to Boogie winning the new Coaches Competition (or is it Coach’s Challenge? I don’t remember). The new contest saw all four coaches competing to win immunity for one of their team members, and I for one found it much more engaging than the tired old Have / Have Nots competition. Boogie managed to win the event, securing immunity for Ian, who probably needed the pass more than anyone else in the house. We’ll see how he fares next week though.

Anyway, on to the photocap…

  1. Who’d have guessed that Frank looks so good shirtless. Or that Ian would have such hairy legs.

    And wtf Boogie’s ears ew. Especially the right one is bigger than the left one .. how does that even happen? I’m fixated on it whenever he shows up on the tube.

    1. Well, you you have a stronger stomach than I, because I can’t even LOOK at the screen when Boogie is on it. Seriously!

  2. The photo of Ashley brought back things I was thinking as the episode was airing…”Is /she/ really who we think /she/ is?” I swear she looks worse and worse every time I see her. Scary to think what she’ll look like towards the end after she floats there.

  3. I like Ian so I hope he sticks around. I still despise Boogie though, so I hate that he is on his team. However- I think that he is smart to realize Ian’s potential which is why he saved him this week. I have a feeling that they will let the coaches get into the actual game at some point as they lose their teams, so the players might be getting played eventually.

  4. Ian is good TV.
    Danielle is furniture.
    Dan loves to throw comps. Nothings changed there.
    Shane needs to burn those puka shell necklaces.
    Wil is by far my favorite.

  5. Lmao this blog is filled with hatred. I don’t know if this person is ashamed of their own looks and personality but trying to ridicule every houseguest is a tad bit… ridiculous. Get off your hate-wagon and perhaps people in real life will like you instead of you having to result to blasting people’s looks and personality on a crappy blog.

  6. Am I the only one who thinks that Ashley and Wil look like they are related? I swear they have exactly the same face…or am I crazy???

  7. I’m from Kentucky and I cannot stand Joe. What is up with the screaming dude. You are not doing UK any favors my wearing those shirts.

  8. I always thought Boogie looked a lot like Gargamel. Now the ear thing is creeping me out even more when I look at him.
