BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Idiots, All of Them

Last night’s episode of Big Brother was utterly frustrating, full of dumb decisions, annoying outcomes, and questionable situations. It had me rolling my eyes and gritting my teeth. I was so angry. In other words, it was a great episode. Being a Big Brother fan means enduring hideous things, often in the form of watching …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: The House Is Shaken, Not Stirred

It’s a new week in the Big Brother house, and the power has gloriously shifted to the underdogs. Many readers don’t seem to care for Kalia based on her questionable eating practices (she apparently eats other people’s food), incessant gossiping, and infinite crying. However, all this stuff happens on the feeds, which I’m still woefully …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Hug It Out

Oh the joys of Big Brother. After dominating the house for so many weeks, the Veterans finally saw their numbers take a hit last night when two of them — Brendon and Jordan — faced down elimination, thanks to dissent in their ranks (Daniele). Even worse for the likes of anti-floater advocate Rachel, their fates …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Brendon Gets A Little Head

Brenchel has been backed into a corner on Big Brother, and I thought for sure this would lead to some major Rachel fireworks, but the scientist was rather subdued in her post-nomination emotions. Sure, she compared herself to Excalibur (playing upon Daniele’s bungling of the metaphor “you drew first blood” — she said “first sword”), …

Chenbot Appears on ‘Watch What Happens Live’; My Pop Culture World Colllide

In case you missed it on Sunday night, Julie Chen made a surprise appearance on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live, prompting many uses of the word “Chenbot” and an obligatory text from my cousin to tune in. The segment is brief but wonderful.

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: A Slippery Slope for the Vets?

What a strange world we live in: Lawon became slightly less terrible, I’m rooting for Daniele Donato, and according to Porche, what I always thought to be the elbow is actually the shoulder. Who knew? Yes, bizarre happenings on the latest Big Brother, and all of them were entertaining. From watching Rachel bite it during …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Veterans Crumble; Plus, Talk of Jellyfish

I can’t say I was terribly surprised with last night’s eviction on Big Brother. Heck, CBS didn’t even try to throw some misdirection our way. But that didn’t stop me from enjoying yet another entertaining episode. The season is moving forward just the way we want it to — and significantly better than last year’s. …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Dom and Dumber

Just three days ago, I was extolling Daniele Donato’s gameplay on Big Brother, saying how she was quietly playing a great, shrewd game. Alas, idle hands are the devil’s hands — or whatever that dumb expression is. With too much time on her hands, Daniele has grown overeager with her strategizing, and now she’s been …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Rachel Gets Told Hoff

There’s nothing better than when a silly, inconsequential luxury competition sets off a chain reaction on a reality show. We’ve seen it happen umpteen times on Survivor, and on last night’s Big Brother, it happened again. Here’s how it all went down: to hype up the premiere episode of Same Name, the producers arranged a …
