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. …

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 …
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 …

Every season, the Chenbot dazzles us with an outfit so unconventional, so bizarre that it becomes instantly legendary. There was her sparkling astronaut pantsuit one year. And there was her orange jumpsuit another year. Last night, Julie defied expectations and busted out her first ever cape. That’s right: Chenbot wore a CAPE. As in, the …

It was a Sunday night episode of Big Brother, which meant it wasn’t quite as involved with the drama, but the intrigue with this season has been steadily building. The big news with Thursday’s eviction episode was that Kalia and Shelly voted with the veterans but neither one has ‘fessed up to it to their …

Last night we learned that Brendon and Rachel have a very special, very private pet name for each other: Booki. Or is it Bookie? Or is it Buki? Which is it? We must standardize this term of endearment so that we can properly mock it. Here are the spelling options: Bookie: This seems to be …

Last night was our first eviction episode on Big Brother, but you wouldn’t have known it based on the drama and intrigue over the course of the hour. We had the Veterans pushing to get Keith out of the house, the Regulators, looking to get Porsche out of the house, and the leftovers simply trying …
Waah. I’m still loving this season of Big Brother 13, and the twists have truly been resulting in great scheming right out of the gate. As I’ve mentioned before, we’ve got two big alliances (Newbies vs. Vets) and a tricky little sub alliance (The Regulators), which inadvertently leaves us with a second sub alliance (the …

Jeff hates Dumbledore by caseycarlsonx1Via Reality Blurred The first buzz-worthy fight from the Big Brother house emerged last night, and it centered around… Harry Potter? Yup, you heard that correctly. A roundtable discussion of Dumbledore’s sexuality sparked a heated confrontation between Kalia and Jeff, the latter of whom questioned the prudence of writing an allegedly …
