I’m back! For the moment. Sorry everyone, I’ve been working on some non-blog stuff that has totally monopolized my time. Despite that, I knew I just had to write something about this week’s double eviction episode of Big Brother, which was AH-MAH-ZING. I tend to love these “Big Brother Fast Forward” shows. They’re awkward, oddly-paced, and totally low-rent, but there’s a rustic charm that always prevails — like watching some hog tackling competition at a country fair (full disclosure: I’ve never been to a country fair or seen hog tackling).
Anyway, as herky-jerky as these episodes are, the fact that it all unfurls live leads to some pretty spectacular fireworks, and this year’s “Fast Forward” was no different. In fact, this may have been my favorite of all time. From the eviction videos to the HoH results to the Veto competition — it was all high drama and comedy. The only letdown was the second ouster, which sort of ended the great hour on a sad, deflated note — like a balloon slowly weezing out air. Minor quibbles though. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. An excellent capper to a stellar week of strategy and drama. It’s so nice to have an interesting season again…

What did you think about the double eviction?
I’ve missed a few shows and I had NO IDEA that Jenn was still on the show. Whenever I watch, she’s never on camera. I saw her for the first time in a while on the Double Eviction show.
You may also want to tell Boogie that George Costanza’s dad wants his leisurewear back. Why is he wearing glasses/clothes/hats for a 60 year old anyway?
roflmao! you were RIGHT ON with every pic! BRILLIANT!!!
I LOVE THIS!!!! Everything was hilarious as usual. Although now I’m going to miss all the comments about Ashley.
But this was by far the best line, I could not stop laughing:
Deaf people: “Why is he yelling his sign language?”
Ian pacing back and forth in front of the camera while Julie was talking – priceless.

Very very funny.
I’m impressed by your writing. Are you a professional or just very kngeledoeablw?
Love this. Funny keep it coming Please
Missed you! Very funny especially: Deaf people: “Why is he yelling his sign language?”
DEAD at Joe yelling in sign language! Bravo!
This season of Big Brother has been petty at times but also really funny. It’s nice to see that the people on the show aren’t afraid to actually get in there and get mean. They are competing for a pretty big cash prize after all. The PrimeTime Anytime feature on my Hopper makes sure that I don’t miss anything on CBS, especially Big Brother, seven days a week. It’s pretty cool and thanks to a Dish co-worker I signed up for it before the fall TV show starts. This show is made fantastic by the feeds and this year they have been drama filled to the max and I am just so addicted!
These are always entertaining to me. That shampoo line was hilarious and the Joe yelling and speaking gibberish was great as always.
