and the winner of big brother is...

It’s finally here and we will soon know the winner of Big Brother 11!

The anxiety was high in the house with the final houseguests remaining. Natalie is trying to garner votes since she has no choice in the Final Two. I’m not sure how this Final Three scenario will work and I really just wish that Natalie was never even in this position.

When Michele entered the jury house, she was surprised to find out that everyone else there also hates Natalie. I bet she was also surprised to know that everyone there would have voted for her over Natalie! Ouch! That just rubs some salt in the wound. Things are looking good for either Jordan or Kevin.

Oh no! Now I’m worried that Jordan doesn’t have a shot at winning because the jury doesn’t think she’s done anything. Her best bet really is to take Natalie to the finals because at least she’s won more than Natalie has.

It’s now time for Part Three of the final HOH competition! Aaah, Kevin and Jordan tied in the game where they had to guess the end of statements made by the houseguests! So it went down to a tiebreaker where they had to guess how many total votes to evict have been made in the house, including tie breakers. Kevin put 80 and Jordan put 50. And the answer was…51. Jordan won HOH!! Yay!

So, Jordan evicted Kevin and that was for sure her smartest move. Aww, and Kevin was really sweet about it. He knew that it was the best move for her and he definitely had no hard feelings. I am not sure who he will vote for, though. I can see him going either way, so I’m not sure.

The jury had some tough questions for Jordan and Natalie. I think it’s pretty clear that Jessie won’t vote for Jordan and that Jeff will vote for Jordan.

The votes have been cast, but we still have to wait for the results! It seems like Lydia actually voted for Jordan, but I dunno! I think America’s Vote will go to Jordan for sure. Aahh, I can’t wait! And I really don’t care to hear from Braden, Laura, Casey, or Ronnie so let’s just hurry up!

And the winner of Big Brother 11 is….JORDAN!! Hooray! This is how the votes broke down: Jessie, Lydia, Michele, Jeff, and America voted for Jordan while Russell and Kevin voted for Natalie. And to top it all off, Jeff won America’s Favorite player and received $25,000.

Another show down and another happy result! :)

ghosts of HOH past

Tonight we find out who the final HOH is on Big Brother! Fingers crossed for Jordan!!

This final HOH competition breaks down into three parts. All three remaining houseguests compete in Part One. The winner of Part One automatically advances to Part Three. The other two compete in Part Two. The winner of Part Two then meets the winner of Part One to compete the for HOH title in Part Three.

So, Part One had Jordan, Kevin, and Natalie standing on a rolling log while they held onto their house keys above their heads. At least one hand needed to remain on their key at all times but it was harder than it sounded. At random moments “weather” would change and a rainstorm would pour down on the three, then the log would stop or reverse so they had to walk backwards.

Darn! Jordan fell after 3hr20min into the game! So, apparently, Natalie and Kevin had a pact that she would throw the first competition. If she falls for this, she is more stupid than I ever thought. Wow! She fell for it! What an idiot!! She threw part of the competition! Kevin now goes straight to Part Three of the competition.

Julie then announced to the houseguests that the HOH winner will not be announced tonight! This shall be interesting to see how everything plays out…

Jeff joined the others in the jury house and was surprised to hear that everyone else hated Natalie just as much as him.

Former competitors Janelle, Mike Boogey, Danielle, and Evil Dick came back to give their thoughts on the game so far. They all think Kevin will and should win but that Jeff was the best player. They also thought Jeff made a mistake by getting rid of Russell but they praised him for getting rid of Jessie. And they all hated Chima! I knew there was a reason I loved these for!

Part Two of the HOH competition had Natalie and Jordan doing a Skee-Ball type game where they needed to roll a ball with a former HOH’s name on it and get it into the hole for the week they were HOH. Not only was this a memory competition but they had be precise with their aim to get the balls in the right holes. To make it harder, they only had 2 minutes to complete the game!

Jordan was a whiz at this game! She knew the exact order of the winners and she was really good at getting the balls into the holes. Natalie was super scattered and got a lot of answers wrong. And she was not as quick as Jordan. It was so fun knowing that Jordan won before she knew…I was just waiting to see her face! Aww, it was so cute because the audience was totally rooting her on, too!!

a not-so-lucky devil

A jock, a nerd, a popular girl, and an offbeat…which high school clique will be eliminated on Big Brother? Let’s find out!

Natalie’s ruse of trying to get Kevin out of the game is falling apart at the seam. Jordan might be dumb about some common sense things, but hey, she made it to the final four so she must know something about playing the game. So, naturally, she knew something was up when Natalie was all of a sudden trying to convince her to send home Michele. I think Natalie is the stupid one in this house.

Luckily, Michele and Jordan seem to have a pact and hopefully one of them will win this game. Though, I would be sad to see Kevin go home since Natalie gets to stay over him.

Oh, wow, this POV competition looks hard. They had two panels of “clues” that related to two different houseguests. Then they had 4-sided blocks that they needed to match with the clues. This was going to be super hard because if they got one block wrong, they needed to re-stack the blocks in the correct order. Confusion! So, Kevin won and I have torn feelings. I love Kevin but at the same time I really wanted either Michele or Jordan to win.

Ugh, I cannot reiterate how much I hate Natalie in this game. She is so stupid! She really thinks that looking and acting immature and stupid for her houseguests helps her? Well, no! It doesn’t. It just makes you look dumb and immature. I seriously can’t stand her and I will be so pissed if she loses this game. It will be worse than when lame Adam won a few seasons ago.

So, naturally, Kevin took himself off the block in the Veto Nomination and Jordan went up as a replacement nominee. Kevin was stupid in his choice and he voted to evict Michele instead of Jordan. Hopefully he does not plan to win against Natalie because the stupid people in the jury house will probably not vote on game play but vote for “popularity” since this is, after all, a high school themed season. Ugh.

Now to wait to see who wins the last and most important HOH competition - fingers crossed that it’s Jordan!

natalie's proposal annoys the entire house

With Natalie as HOH, who knows what’s in store on Big Brother!

Um, so Natalie is thinking of putting Kevin on the block! She should have known that the odds of Kevin staying in the house were very slim because both Jordan and Michele have a good chance of winning POV thus leaving one of them to vote out Kevin. She is so dumb though if she thinks that Michele or Jordan won’t figure out that she is just trying to play them.

The houseguests got a luxury competition surprise that would allow them to get a shopping spree if they finished fast enough. Jordan’s poses when she found the items were so funny because she basically didn’t pose and was just waiting in anticipation for them to be right. It was so cute! Kevin, on the other hand, was loving the poses! When the competition was over, they all got to shop for 3 minutes and 28 seconds. Whatever they were wearing at the end of that time, they got to keep.

Kevin started to proposition Michele for a Final 2 deal. This could be their smartest move to get Natalie out, but I think Kevin could be out this week if either he or Natalie doesn’t win POV.

Natalie found another Pandora’s Box in here HOH room and I wonder what will be in it this time. Natalie would get to see her boyfriend but she wouldn’t get to compete in the last POV competition! So, she took it and her boyfriend proposed to her. That was the most anti-climactic and un-heartfelt yes in the history of all proposals. She didn’t even cry and didn’t even seem excited to see him!

Then, Natalie got 15 more minutes with her now fiancé but the other three got “annoyed” but some guests. First was a guy dressed in a large baby suit who just whined and whined, then a little person came out as a “copy cat” who repeated anything the houseguests said, and then, perhaps my most current nightmare happened…a person dressed as a large roach came out and chased the houseguests.

Now, Natalie didn’t want the other houseguests to know that something good came to her so she said that she took a deal to get a Final 2 reversal so that whoever the jury voted as the winner would actually be in 2nd place and then she was blindfolded and bound and that was why she can’t compete in the POV competition. But Kevin knew something was up because her lie made no sense. Ugh, she is stupid.

So, Natalie decided to be truthful and tell them all the truth but now they are not willing to believe her because she just lied to them. And Kevin is beyond pissed about it because if this is true, then she probably lied about something else. Oh, and she DID! She lied about her age!

Ugh, Natalie is SO dumb! She decided to dress up all pimp like for the nomination ceremony. This just makes her look so dumb and childish. Yeah, she’s trying to hide behind those shades but she doesn’t know that she looks stupid and that they can see right through her.

no goodbye kiss

One half of the cutest couple in Big Brother history will be evicted this week so let’s see who it is.

Once again, stupid Natalie gloated about how she has no blood on her hands but she still gets what she wants. She is so stupid and immature. I cannot wait for her to leave because she has done NOTHING in this game. She is lucky she is still in the game since she completely sucks at playing!

And I can’t believe that Jeff and Michele are going to guarantee an HOH win for Natalie in order to keep Jeff in the game. I sincerely hope that they are just saying this but then will turn their backs on her and lie because she deserves that.

During Kevin’s last “confessional” as HOH, I gotta say that I am liking him more and more! I can’t help but love his personality and I really do think that he has played a good game. And even though I am mad at him for nominating Jeff, it was really smart of him.

Ugh, I didn’t know that Natalie lied and said that she was 18 when she is really 24!! Well, she sure as heck acts like an 18 year old so she is doing herself no favors by lying about her age. And now that the other jury members know about this, she is not winning any points with Russell and Lydia, either! Yay, maybe her own stupidity will ruin her in the end!

During the live eviction, Natalie voted to evict Jeff (of course!) and Michele voted to evict Jordan. That means, once again, Kevin had to get blood on his hands and break the tie. Kevin stuck with his original plan and evicted Jeff from the house. But wait, where was Jordan’s goodbye kiss?! Turns out I wasn’t the only one expecting it because Julie asked him about it and the audience all swooned when they heard that he got caught up in the moment. They clearly love him since he was the first standing ovation eviction of the season!

Now time for the new HOH competition and I’m rooting for Jordan or Michele! By the end of the game, there was a three way tie between Natalie, Jordan, and Michele. UGH, Natalie won and she shouted “And I did with keeping my word!” and “This is for you, Chima!” I am so mad right now. Jordan or Michele better win POV so they can vote out Kevin.

pandora's box = free money!

The mystery door in Kevin’s HOH room and the winner of the POV competition will be revealed on this episode of Big Brother!

Kevin’s secret door revealed that something good or bad could happen if he opened “Pandora’s Box”. A clue on his HOH TV screen said that $10,000 would be revealed if you put your hand in a hole. Hmm…what if there are bugs in the box?! Ugh! Since Kevin is a “greedy b*tch” (his own words, not mine!), he opened the door and a whole room was revealed. A large box stood in the room and Kevin decided to put his hand in the hole to get the $10,000. Much to his demise, Kevin’s hand got stuck in the box while the $10,000 fell into the backyard while Kevin had to watch from a large TV screen in his new room.

Kevin got a new message saying that the key to his release is hidden in the house somewhere. He was able to get Natalie’s attention about the key but instead of looking for the key she runs outside to collect more money. Luckily, Jeff went to find Kevin also and he lied saying that the only way they could keep the money is if they found the key for Kevin. After finding the key, Jeff ran back outside to collect more money! Finally, they unlocked Kevin so he could collect some of the money. And this was an eye opening experience for him as he found out that everyone really was out for themselves, even Natalie.

For the POV competition, each houseguest was decked out in a spacesuit and they were all separated into separate rooms so they could each compete individually for the best time. Whoever had the quickest time would win POV plus a brand new home entertainment system. All of the houseguests got each combination correctly so now it’s just dependent on who did it faster. Michele beat all of the other houseguests by over one minute and won the POV and the entertainment system.

Ouch, Jeff was being a little pissy about his loss! Michelle was just trying to say “good game” and you had to say “Get away from me?” Come on! She did your dirty work and got rid of Chima for you! But, I do suppose that the reality of Jeff and Jordan being put up against each other is weighing in on him and the couple is now breaking up.

Oh, Jordan is so nice and cute. She is actually saying that she wants to go home over Jeff. He is lucky to have her in this game. As expected, she went up against Jeff and one part of the couple will for sure be going home.

if at first you don't succeed, give up and let your friend win for you

It’s getting down to the wire on Big Brother and I can’t wait to see who actually won HOH!

Natalie is being so stupid. She is not trying to win at all and it just looks like she is relying on Kevin to win for her. She has never been able to win anything and her just giving up is annoying. I would be so pissed if she continued in through this game without doing anything at all. She never even won a Veto competition.

Boy, she sure is lucky that Kevin won HOH because this could certainly keep her safe. But she needs to realize that by coasting through this game first with Jessie and now Kevin is not getting her any respect from the other competitors.

Michele started feeling sorry for herself for not winning the HOH competition and for now having no one in the house to talk with.

Aww, Kevin is so cute! He is totally crying over his letter from his partner, Alfonso. And everyone was loving the photos of them. They make a super cute couple.

I think Natalie’s scheming is so annoying. She is the worst player in this game, ever. She just sits by and does nothing and makes people think that she is super powerful, etc. Well, guess what?! You’re not and you can’t do anything on your own in this house! Ugh, and she basically told Michele to her face that she needed to go home but it was pretty out of the blue. I really hate Natalie. She is so freaking childish. I can’t wait for her to go home.

I think Kevin should be smart and put up Jeff and Michele. He has actually played this game really well and I know he will ultimately do what is best for him in the game. I really like everyone in the game besides Natalie, so anyone who goes home would be bad. But since someone has to go and it won’t be Natalie, I’d rather Kevin be smart and get rid of one of the best players in the house.

In the end, Kevin nominated Jeff and Michele, just like I thought.

s'more drama

Russell’s eviction on BB11 is expected, but will it actually happen? Let’s see!

Oh, haha Julie! You’re so clever using chess analogy for the game. Wow, it’s almost like no one has ever used the term pawn before in the house! Ugh, she’s a horrible host. But she’s super cute otherwise. And super pregnant, btw. I wonder if she will be able to make it to the end of the show!

Ugh, Natalie is such a little pain in the butt. She had to go and get Jordan and tell her what was happening. You clearly like to stir problems, just like you will cause problems when you go back on your word against Jeff.

If Russell thinks he can change Kevin’s mind, I am not sure. Kevin was the one that got himself off the block and was replaced with Russell to begin with. However, Kevin’s main objective in the game has been to play every side of the house possible.

Wow! Jordan surprised me! She got up in Russell’s face and was yelling at him like crazy. I do hate Russell’s motives and words. It’s one thing to criticize a person’s game play since that is the one thing each person has in this game. But to criticize a person’s character is another. By him calling Jordan fat and barking t her like a dog, it’s no worse than Ronnie’s ridiculous tirade on Michele when he left the house. Ugh, some of these people are stupid and that’s why they’re on Big Brother!

Oh, Julie announced to the houseguests that the Have/Have-Nots will no longer be implemented in the house but that other surprises are sure to come their way.

So, here us how the votes went down: Jordan and Kevin evicted Russell; Michele surprised us by voting to evict Russell, as well. I sure hope for Michele’s case that she told Russell about her vote beforehand so that he would be prepared for the news. Otherwise, he might take it personally. Well, he seemed to take it well and actually had a pretty calm and well-mannered exit.

Now onto the next HOH competition and my fingers are crossed for Michele. The HOH competition was S’more themed. Ugh, and this is going to be another long competition as they need to transfer hot chocolate from one end of a “graham cracker” to another to fill a 16-gallon bowl to retrieve their marshmallow. Too bad their cocoa mug only holds 8 oz. and will take them over 4 miles of travelling to fill the bowl!

Paranoia, Paranoia

Russell’s paranoia is getting the best of him on BB11 and I think this is the beginning of his end.

Jeff and Jordan had their first “fight” and it was pretty cute. Though they were both serious about it, it was just funny to watch ‘cause it’s like their first couple fight. Hmm, but he was snapping at her a lot. They just crack me up.

Aww, all the houseguests has a pow wow bonding moment over Kevin’s sexuality.

I hope that Michelle does better at convincing Jordan and Jeff that she is on their side and will do what they want because she is losing ground with them. And I worry about Natalie’s and Kevin’s “promise” to them.

Oh gosh, the entire backyard was turned into a jungle for the Veto Competition. Casey, the former houseguest who left in the banana suit, was the host of this game. And the theme had to do with…bananas, of course! Casey, or Otev (veto backwards!) the Ape, would rap a riddle for the houseguests and they would then need to find a banana with the houseguest’s name that answer the riddle. The last one to make it to alter would be eliminated.

Jordan was the last to return to Otev the Ape in the first round and she was eliminated. In the second round, Natalie found Jesse’s banana last and was eliminated in round two. Much to Kevin’s happiness, Russell was eliminated next. Wow, Jeff has been a maniac in this game! Michele just barely edged out Kevin in the next round leaving it between her and Jeff. Jeff ended up winning POV and the power was once again in his hands.

At the POV ceremony, everyone was on pins and needles. I’m not even sure if Jordan knows what Jeff will do. Ugh…so stressful…even I’m nervous to hear Jeff’s decision. Oh goodness! Jeff took Kevin off the block and replaced him with Russell. Things are not going to be calm in this house for the next few days.

And Jeff better watch his back. Not from Russell but from Natalie and Kevin because despite what they said, they are going after him for sure.

Everybody Loves Jeff

On Big Brother, the results of the HOH competition played out.

Kevin was performing really well, and while I like him a lot, I do not like Natalie and I like the other alliance a lot more. Then, Jordan announced that each competitor had six gold cans and if they got a gold can into their tube, they could choose to close off another houseguest’s tubes. Russell closed off Kevin’s tube and then karma came back to bite him as Kevin closed off Russell’s tubes. In the end, it came down to just one can between Kevin and Jeff and Jeff beat Kevin to the punch and won HOH!

Jeff’s HOH room was filled with pictures that Kevin was loving because Jeff is cute! Haha. Everyone actually seemed excited to go to his HOH room and that’s probably because he is so nice. And Jordan was just loving everything about it. She is so freaking cute! She even asked Jeff to take her to Hawaii on the trip that he won. Honestly, I think he will take her, but they were just joking back and forth. So cute!

Russelll tried to mend some bridges with Jeff and Jordan by confronting any questions that they might have. He is really bad with words and does not know how to actually defend his words. He still doesn’t know how to voice his opinions. And now he is admitting that he would probably take out Jeff later…uh, what are you thinking?! Just say, “No, I didn’t say that at all.” He is so stupid. And Michele! Why don’t you stick up for yourself and try to get on Jordan’s good side by helping out instead of just sitting there?! I really hope this doesn’t end up biting her in the butt!

Hahaha!! All of the houseguests, especially Kevin and Jordan, were loving Jeff as he was watering the garden with his shirt off. I can’t say that I blame them!

Okay, Jeff may be pretty dumb sometimes but at least he is willing to learn about people. He seemed pretty fascinated and blown away by Michele’s career as a neuroscientist. It makes me think what he does in the outside world and how he can be successful. It has to be his good looks, haha!

So, who will Jeff put up for eviction this week? Will he try to back-door Russell and use Kevin and Natalie as pawns? Or will he put Russell and Michele against each other from the start to save fact with the other two? In the end, he decided to save face with Russell and Michele and nominate Kevin and Natalie. I still think he will plan on back-dooring Russell. We’ll see!

Goodbye, Captain Unitard!

Tonight’s episode of Big Brother will be exciting again as everything now has to be fast forwarded because of the incident on Tuesday.

As Julie reminded us, tonight was supposed to be a surprise double eviction but because of Chima’s expulsion, there is only one eviction tonight.

Jordan told Natalie that she was safe but Jordan might decide to change her mind. I really think that Lydia needs to leave because she is just ridiculous. And while I don’t like Natalie either, she’s less of a neurotic houseguest.

Oh gosh, this fake friendship between Natalie and Lydia is stupid. They clearly don’t like each other and are only on the same side now because Jesse left. And now they are bonding over their hatred for Jesse. Ugh, these girls are so stupid.

Kevin came up with a smart idea and decided that he, Natalie, and Lydia needed to create a lie to spread to Jeff and Jordan to spread some doubt in their minds. I sincerely hope that they don’t believe it. But this does make me like Kevin more and I think he is hilarious and actually a smart player.

Natalie got her phone call from home and it was nice to see a little bit of normalcy from her. But I am surprised to know that she has a boyfriend! Then what was all that nonsense with Jesse?! It’s always cute when any of the houseguests get phone calls from home. And since she will probably never win HOH, this is her one chance to get something from home.

For the POV competition, all but Russell got to compete. Each houseguest competing stood on a series of stairs and had to step back for Before or step forward for After to determine whether or not an event happened Before or After what Julie mentioned. Jeff, Lydia, and Natalie were all eliminated in the same round. Kevin was eliminated next, leaving just Jordan and Michele to compete for the POV power. Frankly, I’m surprised that Jordan did so well! The two did so well they needed to go to a tie breaker. Whoever got closer to the number of truffles from the When Pigs Fly competition without going over would win and Jordan beat out Michele!

Hmm, suspiciously, Jordan, Jeff, and Kevin were all speaking together in the storage room. I wonder what that discussion was about.

Naturally, Jordan chose not to use the POV. So, the eviction votes went as follows: Russell voted for Lydia, as did Lydia; Jeff also voted for Lydia while Kevin voted for Natalie. So, crazy, pink-haired “Captain Unitard” Lydia is gone! Good riddance, in my opinion.

The next HOH competition came next and I’m hoping Michele wins. There was an hour time limit on the game where the houseguests needed to “recycle” their colored cans by putting them in tiny tubes. The first houseguest to get 24 cans would win, but if the time limit ran out then whoever had the most cans would win. Darn, because of the time limit, that means that we have to wait for the next episode to see who wins! Ugh.

You're Expelled!

Welcome back to Get Real!

Finally, it’s time for Big Brother to see which houseguest leaves the game prematurely.

Okay, I need to say something before getting into this episode. Big Brother is perhaps my guiltiest pleasure when it comes to Reality TV. All other competition shows where someone is trying to get ahead in their career (Project Runway, So You Think You Can Dance, American Idol, etc.), trying to better themselves as a person (Biggest Loser), or find "love" (The Bachelor/The Bachelorette, etc.) seem to make some sense because they are all genuinely trying to get that certain something out of the show (most of the time, anyway!). BUT, Big Brother contestants go on the show just to win money. All they want to do is be on TV and win $500,000. Sure they may have grand ideas for how to spend the money, but it's ultimately about the money and being on TV. So, I expect nonesense and chaos on this show because it is money that they are competing for, after all. But when people take it too far and freak out and take things personally, I can't even laugh at these people. I just hate them! I have no sympathies for them and I can't even find anything to relate to with them when they act like stupid, selfish children. Now...onto the show!

Haha, Chima, Natalie, and Lydia are complaining about Michele’s nominations. And they are assuming that she is doing whatever Jordan, Jeff, and Russell wanted her to do. But they don’t know that it was all Michele’s decision. Good for her, too.

The houseguests were given a practice for their Veto Competition. Chima was acting like a little baby and she was just giving up and being a diva, just like Jordan said. The producers told her to put on her mic and she didn’t put it on. Kevin was trying to be nice and got her mic for her but instead she threw it into the hot tub. Okay, why are they all sticking up for her at this point?!

Okay, side note, funny how Natalie and Lydia are BFF’s all of a sudden. I guess their “love” for Jesse bonded them together finally. Whatever!

Now she is just being a diva and it’s ridiculous. Then she was refusing to go into the diary room and the producer needed to get her involved. Then the houseguests were called into the living room and it was announced that Chima was expelled from the game. So ridiculous. What a freaking baby! Just because she didn’t get way and things turned on her she decided to shut down. She chose this path and it was her fault.

And now Natalie is blaming Michele! Whatever, she is a baby, too. It’s just a game and if that’s the way that Chima chose to go out. Finally, Lydia and Kevin are making sense and trying to make best of the situation. I’m sorry, Natalie, did Jordan flip out when Casey was backdoored and then did Jeff blame Jesse? NO! Ugh, they are such babies!

And now, because Chima was expelled, Michele’s power was taken away and a new HOH competition took place. Because Michelle was HOH, she was not eligible to compete. The new HOH competition was a put-put mini-golf game. Man, I would fail at this! Man, I really hope that either Russell, Jeff, or Jordan win the power.

Ugh, I am so sick of Natalie now. She is so stupid and childish. Everyone on her side is having a pity party for themselves. Ugh. I hate it. In the first round, Russell scored a hole-in-one, as did Jeff and Kevin. Lydia was eliminated in the first round and she picked the HOH key as her prize. Too bad someone will steal it! In round two, everyone but Natalie scored a hole-in-one. Rather than take the HOH key, Natalie kept her Hawaiian vacation. Russell was eliminated in round three and he traded his prize for Natalie’s Hawaiian vacation and gave her the Phone Call from Home. Jordan narrowly edged out Kevin in round four, leaving Kevin to get $5,000. That means either Jordan or Jeff would be HOH! Hooray! Lydia then started to bad mouth Jordan and say that they were all going to string her along. Jeff threw the competition so that Jordan could be HOH…how sweet! Then Jeff took the Hawaiian vacation away from Russell and gave him a massage. The final prize was a unitard and Jordan traded it for the HOH power.

So, I think the free mimosas that Lydia drank started to get to her when she was calling Jordan inappropriate names. Whatever, be stupid just like Chima and Natalie. Gosh, I have never thought that people would be so childish. Lydia was so drunk and Jeff was trying to calm the whole house down and instead of being rational and listening to Jeff, she flew off the handle. I’m surprised she didn’t go home just like Chima. Wow, who knew that Jesse would be such a pivotal person in the game.

Just a word to the wise for anyone thinking of being on a reality show….if it’s a game like Big Brother, recognize that there are rules and stick to them and don’t be pissed when things don’t go your way.

Jordan is so freaking cute! Normally she is the type of person that I think I would hate on this show but she is so genuine and cute I can’t stand it.

For the nominations, Michele was called out first, followed by Jeff, Kevin, and…Russell. That means Natalie and Lydia were nominated. No surprise there. Whew, what a jam packed episode!

Next up on Get Real, the finale of Top Chef Masters and the premier of Top Chef: Las Vegas! Stay tuned :)

Surprising and Single Ladies

Welcome back to Get Real! Tonight we have BB11 and ABDC so let’s get to it.

After Jeff’s wonderful and surprising actions with the Coup D’Etat, we got to see some of the responses from the houseguests. Boy, Chima was pissed!! I was shocked to see Jesse’s reaction, though. He was actually really reasonable about it and acknowledged that it was a smart move on Jeff’s part. On the other hand, Russell, Jordan, and Michele thought it was a good move. Michele was really impressed by his move and that might be a good thing for him now that she is HOH.

Haha, no one knows what Michele is going to do. Everyone has just been friends with her while she had the power and no one really tried to be her ally. I think she’s smart enough to not be bullied into doing what Chima wants her to do but who knows what side she will choose.

Oh my gosh! Natalie, Lydia, and Chima are sitting down and having the biggest pitty party for Jesse being gone. Like Jeff said, it’s not like he’s dead! Thank goodness Kevin was feeling the same sentiments as I am! I am liking Kevin more and more.

For the Have/Have-Not Competition, the houseguests needed to pair up into teams of two. Overall, they did pretty well. The point was to work as a team and they got food for every day of the week but Monday as well as a BBQ grill and no cold showers for the week. Unfortunately, Chima and Natalie were still sour about Jesse’s eviction and couldn’t enjoy the competition or the rewards.

Okay, Lydia is a little strange with her magical unicorn, Dae Yum Yum. She just has some weird quirks about him.

Haha, Jeff and Jordan are so cute! They have a showmance proposal!

Natalie and Chima each came up to talk to Michele and try to convince her to put up Russell. They totally did what Kevin told them not to do – he told them to talk to her but not tell her what to do. I am not sure what she is going to do but I hope she stays with Jeff, Jordan, and Russell.

Wow!! Michele has some guts. She nominated Chima and Natalie. And she made it clear that she wanted Chima to go. Natalie is being stupid and she is basically admitting that she hasn’t had to do a single thing the entire game and now that Jesse is gone she has to fight. Well, duh! That is why Jeff nominated you.

And now, apparently, someone leaves the show prematurely on Tuesday! I put money on Chima! Hehe.

Now let’s see some dance crews on ABDC! It’s the Beyoncé Challenge tonight where each crew would dance to a different Beyoncé song.

We are Heroes got Single Ladies and they needed to take the “Grind Effect” but add some Strobing to it. Strobing, as We are Heroes told us, is a series of short locking motions that make it appear as if you had a strobe light on you. Wow, this could be tough! And, WOW! These ladies are good! They were Popping in heels and they were just so clever with their movements.

Rhythm City’s challenge was to take the Charleston in Beyoncé’s new single Sweet Dreams and make it more modern. They had some nice effects with the bed, but I ultimately don’t think the routine was as good as their first one. It was an interesting concept. I still like this crew, though.

Beyoncé gave Massive Monkey’s a Hoola Hoop challenge. What a hard task for them! They did a pretty good job. They didn’t actually use the Hoola Hoops as its meant to be used, they just used them as props. They were definitely funny and entertaining, though.

Beat Ya Feet Kings had to use the “Uh-Oh” move from Crazy in Love. Wouldn’t be so hard to except that there are four guys and only one girl in the crew! They did a good job but it was still a little elementary. The worst part of this crew is that they are not together with their synchronicity. I wish they were better but I just feel like they haven’t stepped it up for this third season of ABDC.

Afroboriké and Artistry in Motion were revealed as the bottom two crews. But before we get to their battle, it’s time for the two other saved crews to dance it out.

The next crew out was Southern Movement. Beyoncé gave them Jumpin’ Jumpin’ and they had to bounce, shake, twist, and dip. They did pretty good! I think they could have emphasized their challenge a bit more, like Lil Mama said. They were better this week than last week. They are on the same boat, for me, as Beat Ya Feet Kings. They are good, but just not enough for Season 3.

Vogue Evolution needed to perfect some African dance for Déjà Vu. This crew is so fun and I just love their energy. Sometimes when they are doing their Vogueing, their motions look sloppy but the freestyle aspect of Vogueing is like that. They are just so cute, I love them. And Leiomy for sure brought out some Beyoncé, that is for sure!

The girls of Artistry in Motion got Beyoncé’s Diva and they needed to all be touching a chain at the same time at some point in the performance. I’m sure they will come up with something good. Yep, they worked that chain and it was a good performance!

Afroboriké got Beautiful Liar and they needed to get the Shakira belly dancing down. Okay, wow. This crew was so much better than they were last week. They had fantastic partnering skills but they had some incredibly athletic moves. Though, I didn’t see much of the belly dancing.

I really liked both of these crews and while my heart is with Donyelle of Artistry in Motion because of her run on SYTYCD, I think that Afroboriké was the better crew tonight and they should stay. Turns out I was right!!

Next up on Get Real, we have Tennille's blow-up on Hell's Kitchen, the surprise exit on Big Brother, and more "loving" on More to Love. Stay tuned :)

Curve Balls and a Coup D'Etat

Welcome back to Get Real! Along with the latest Top Chef Masters episode, we also have the anticipated BB11 eviction ceremony!

We’re at the final four chefs on Top Chef Masters. The chefs got their last Quick Fire Challenge and it was the blind fold taste tests. Wow, they were all struggling but they seemed to have fun with it. Hubert got 5 right, Rick got 6, Anita also got 6, and Michael got 7. So, Michael got 5 stars, Rick and Anita both got 4 stars, and Hubert got 3.5 stars.

For their elimination challenge, the chefs needed to create a buffet lunch for 200 Hollywood insiders. They needed to hire their “team” from past Top Chef contestants. The chefs got to interview each of the contestants before choosing. It was like a massive speed dating game for foodies!

Michael went way down in points for me because he was being so rude to the sous-chefs! He was just barking orders at them. Everyone just hated him. And he was so rude to Dale for no reason at all.

Kelly announced that the location of the lunch changed and they had 30 minutes to move all of their food. The chefs were thrown another curveball…well, two actually! They needed to prepare their dishes outside in the sun which is bad depending on their ingredients plus they needed to cut one of their sous-chefs.

Anita did an Asian Raw Food buffet with many different dips, Michael did a Rustic Italian buffet, Hubert did an 18 dish buffet, and Rick did a classic Mexican Food buffet. From the comments, I think Anita and Michael did poorly. Hubert and Rick, on the other hand, performed so well and they each had really good relationships with their sous-chefs.

Rick and Hubert received the highest scores, ensuring them a space in the final round. Rick received 21.5 stars but Hubert got a perfect score from each of the judges, giving him 22 stars! That left Anita and Michael in the bottom. Michael pulled through in the end, edging out Anita by 2.5 stars.

That means we will see Rick, Hubert, and Michael to cook it out for the final round and the prize of $100,000 for their charity.

On Big Brother, we saw what happened after Kevin decided not to use the POV on Lydia. He wanted to keep Chima in good favor and make sure that there were enough votes to kick Russell out of the house.

Jesse immediately began to get paranoid about this Wizard power. And, of course, the rest of the house was on the offensive trying to find out who holds the Coup D’Etat power. Jesse and Natalie decided that either Jeff or Jordan has the power so they were trying to buddy up to them. Jordan was actually smart enough to notice their odd behavior and began to question their motives.

Russell started trying to get Jesse on his side to get a vote. But Jesse was still upset that Russell chose Jeff over him to play in the Veto Competition. Then he tried to get Michele on his side as well. Jesse, then, came into the room and confronted them to try and make Michele feel guilty for talking to Russell.

It’s time now to see if Jeff will use his Coup D’Etat power!! Personally, I think he will use it, but let’s see. Yay, he is going to use it! Everyone is so surprised by what the power is and what Jeff will do. Jordan’s reaction was soo cute and funny! Oooh, and Jeff did exactly what I thought he was going to do – he nominated Natalie and Jesse! Ooh, this is going to be tough. Julie also announced that Chima and Jeff wouldn’t be allowed to vote in the Eviction Ceremony but Chima would be allowed to compete in the next HOH competition since her power has been overthrown.

For the voting, this is how it went down: Lydia voted to evict Natalie while Jordan voted for Jesse; Kevin and Michele each voted for Jesse; Russell voted to evict Natalie. The votes pretty much turned out like I expected them to. So, Jesse was evicted from the Big Brother house.

Now for the HOH competition. Two at a time, the houseguests would be asked questions about their past competitions thus far. If the houseguest that buzzed in first got the answer right, their opponent would be eliminated and they would get to choose the next two houseguests to face-off. If they answered incorrectly, then they were eliminated. If no on buzzed in, they would both be eliminated. Kevin got Lydia eliminated then chose Russell and Jeff to compete. Russell was incorrect, thus eliminating himself. Jeff chose Natalie and Chima to go against each other. Chima won and put Jeff and Jordan against each other. Jeff won again and chose Chima and Kevin. Kevin won that round leaving Jeff and Michele to go head-to-head. Michele won, leaving it between her and Kevin compete. Michele ended up winning out became the newest HOH.

Next up on Get Real, the see who Michele nominates on BB11 plus the remaining eight crews battle it out on ABDC. Stay tuned :)

Homecoming, Prom, and A Chicken Coup

Welcome back to Get Real! Tonight we have a trio of shows!

First up is Chef Ramsay and his green chefs on Hell’s Kitchen. The chefs found out that they were going to cook a welcome home meal for Staff Sergeant Otis James of the US Marines. Each team was to create one appetizer and two entrees for Chef Ramsay and Sgt. James’s wife to choose from to go on the menu.

Suzanne and Robert will pulled aside to figure out Sgt. James’s likes and dislikes. They needed to relay these things to their teams in order to create the needed dishes. Robert did a great job of relaying the information to his team but Suzanne was horrible with it.

Both teams did really well with the appetizers but it ultimately went to the Red Team with Ariel’s Prawn Caesar Salad. The first entrée went to the blue team with the Mac & Cheese and Baked Catfish. The second entrees consisted of a Baked Lobster Tail for the Red Team and a Surf & Turf style for the Blue Team. Natasha James, Sgt. James’s wife, chose the Blue Team’s entrée. That means the men won the challenge. And they reward was to be a fighter pilot for a day. The women needed to decorate the dining room for the event.

Chef Ramsay’s wife acted as the party planner for the Red Team as they decorated the dining hall for the party. Just as the girls were having fun, the guys rolled in and ruined their fun.

So, the Blue Team played a little bit of sabotage with the Red Team. Because the entrees were created by the Blue Team, the ladies needed to check in with the guys to get the recipes. However, the Blue Team was not so ready to give up their information.

Sabrina started the Red Team off to a bad start when Sabrina couldn’t keep up with the stuffed mushroom appetizer. Jim was struggling with his steaks because they ended up being more popular than thought. Luckily, Kevin was there to bail him out. Tek was also struggling with her steak station. While the Blue Team was finishing off their tickets, the Red Team hadn’t even served one entrée! Chef Ramsay had to send the Blue Team to cover for the Red Team.

Naturally, the Red Team lost this dinner service. There wasn’t even a Best of the Worst on their team. So, the ladies had to choose two people to nominate as a group. Collectively, they chose Tek and Tennille, which was a little awkward since Tennille was asked to give their nominations. Tennille wasn’t quiet about the decision and threw Amanda under the bus. Chef Ramsay called Amanda down with Tek and Tennille. After asking her to speak, Chef Ramsay sent Tennille back in line and then questioned Amanda’s will. Though I think that Amanda will not make it much longer, I think he was right in sending Tek home because she hasn’t done well at all.

Now onto The Prom and More to Love.

I think Kristian is falling too hard too fast for Luke. It’s cute but I think she is setting herself up to get her heart broken.

It was so cute when Luke told the girls that he was inviting them to the prom. All the girls were so excited, too. It was really endearing to see how happy they were. But it was also a little sad about their stories. Tali was super excited because she never went to a prom.

Oh, and even more cute, Luke’s best friends came and joined the party. Plus, Luke’s friends got to choose the Prom Queen and that girl would get an individual date with Luke. So, who did the guys choose? The Prom Queen was Danielle! Of course, all of the girls were jealous of her and angry.

I think Danielle’s problem is that she tries too hard. She wants to be liked so much that she feels she needs to constantly talk and seem interesting. Plus, turns out she doesn’t like seafood and Luke took her to a seafood restaurant. Haha! Wow, I have never seen a guy be so annoyed or turned off during a date on a Reality TV show!!

Luke surprised Heather with a one-on-one date. You can tell that he really likes her because he keeps finding ways to spend more time with her. Ugh, so cute. He’s so into her. You can just tell from the way he looks at her that he likes her. They went horseback riding for their date and it seemed like they were having a fun time.

Kristian decided to tell the other girls what she thought about them. I think she also doesn’t know when to stop talking, just in a different way from Danielle.

Ugh, I regret ever thinking that Lauren was one of my favorites because she is so rude and overly confident.

Emme announced that four girls were going to be eliminated this week which sent shock waves throughout the house. No, he sent Bonnie home! I think she is so cute. He also sent Amanda, Danielle, and Christina home. Wow, Amanda came out sounding like such a b*tch! She was saying that she has never lost a guy to a girl who was bigger than her and she said that she thinks Melissa is less attractive than her. Wow!

Well, time to move on to Big Brother.

Natalie and Jesse were praising Chima for her nomination speech. They are just such kiss asses.

Jesse was right when he guessed that Jeff has the power, but Chima and Natalie convinced otherwise. Everyone is so suspicious now about who has this power and everyone is so paranoid. I love it!

Russell’s plan of mending things with Michele did not go over well. If you are trying to mend things and make it better then why would you call her out? His problem is that he doesn’t know how to shut up or let his pride go. He is too stubborn with everything and just won’t let anything go.

For the veto competition, Chima drew Natalie’s name, Russell had Houseguest’s Choice and chose Jeff, and Lydia also chose Houseguest’s Choice and she chose Kevin. All of the contestants wore chicken suits with a farm theme. They needed to basically walk eggs up some chicken wire with their fingers, then cross a sidewinder bridge of bacon, and place 12 eggs on their perch. If they broke an egg, they needed to start over. Kevin was totally rocking on this challenge! Natalie and Jeff, on the other hand, were not so lucky. Kevin won the Veto Competition!! I was really surprised and proud of him.

I have been trying to like Russell in this house but I think my patience with him has run out. Just when I think he is making some good deals in the house, he turns on Michele and then turns on Jeff. I was secretly hoping in the beginning of the week that Jeff would but both Jesse and Natalie up on the block because it would turn things around. But now, I kind of want Russell out because he is being no better than Ronnie by playing all sides.

Kevin decided not to use the POV on Lydia! This is probably the smartest and biggest move he has ever made in the house. This really made him look like a competitor in the house. We shall see what happens on Thursday!!

Next up on Get Real, another round of Top Chef Masters. Stay tuned :)

Who Is The Wizard?

Welcome back to Get Real! Up for today is BB11 so let’s get to it.

Now that Chima is HOH, let’s see what sort of madness might ensue on the Big Brother household.

Everyone in the house is wondering who has the Coup D’Etat, or as the houseguests call it “The Wizard.” Haha, only Jeff knows the true answer!

The kissing up began right after Chima showed everyone her HOH room. Michele wanted to see how safe she was while Natalie told her that sending Russell home could be a mistake since he could still be an ally to them. Little does she know that Russell no longer feels that he can trust Natalie, Jesse, or Chima.

Okay, I think Jeff and Jordan are a super cute couple but they are two of the dumbest people ever! They are funny though because they match each other so well.

Chima told the other houseguests about how she was raped by a serial killer. Wow, what a serious story to tell in the Big Brother house. She talked about how she escaped and fought back but that she still needed two surgeries after the fact. I hope she follows through with her plans to do something about it later and speak to young women or bring attention to it or something.

Haha, so Jordan thinks that Michele has the mystery power and Jeff is trying to console her and let her know that everything is okay. Aww, too bad Jeff can’t tell her that he is really the one that has the power.

Um, wow! So, Jeremy Piven showed up at the house unexpected. What?! He was joking around with them and saying that Lydia will probably be the first one to lose it. He announced that there would be a luxury competition in which the winning team would win a screening of his movie The Goods. Plus, one member of the winning team would get a big cash prize.

For the competition, each team needed to pack a station wagon with as many items as possible. Each item had a price tag wwhich represented the number of “cars” they sold. Plus, the entire team needed to fit into the front seat of the car. And they were only given 5 minutes. The losing team would be the Have-Nots for the week while the winning team would get to see the movie and possibly win the cash prize. The Tie Team consisted of Jeff, Lydia, Kevin, and Michele and they “sold” 399 cars. But, the Shirts Team with Jordan, Jesse, Natalie, and Russell won with 410 cars. Chima, luckily, chose the Shirt Team so she won as well. And then Russell won the cash prize of $10,000. He had to try and control his emotions so he wouldn’t be too much of a target but honestly, who wouldn’t be excited about wining $10,000?!

Ugh, honestly, this stupid love triangle of Jesse, Natalie, and Lydia is ridiculous! Those two girls are so jealous of each other. It’s so crazy. Just get over it.

So, who did Chima end up putting up for eviction?! The order of the keys was: Natalie, Jesse, Kevin, Michele, Jordan, and jeff. So, that means she nominated Russell and Lydia. I am not surprised by either of these options. She would benefit from either of these two leaving.

Next up on Get Real, the premiere of one of my fave shows! Stay tuned :)

A Rat- But No -atouille

Welcome back to Get Real! The five remaining chefs compete on Top Chef Masters and find out who gets evicted on Big Brother 11.

On Top Chef Masters, the chefs walked in to find host, Kelly Choi, and a table of hamburgers and fries.

For their Quickfire Challenge, the chefs needed to make a gourmet burger and a side dish. Their judges for this challenge were going to be Spike from Top Chef Season 4, Sang Yoon who has the best burger as voted on by the Today Show and Morgan Spurlock from Super Size Me.

Unfortunately, Anita completely bombed on this challenge because she took such a risk. She only received 1.5 stars. Hubert was also embarrassed by his 3 stars because he serves gourmet burgers on a daily basis.

For their Elimination Challenge, the chefs would be catering a lunch party for Zooey Deschanel. Ooh, so excited! I love her!! Oh, but this will be tough. She’s a vegan and she has gluten allergies and doesn’t eat soy. Hmm, so that leaves…vegetables?! Each chef was responsible for a specific course of the luncheon.

Hubert served up the appetizers and he had a risky move of using a shooter glass for his gazpacho. Two of the glasses fell over! But luckily he had extra and was able to come through on the dish. Anita’s dish featured some spicy eggplant and a lentil salad with cashew sauce. Michael served a quinoa pasta with salsa verde. Rick created a sweet corn tortilla with braised black beans. Art finished off the meal with a rice milk ice cream and almond brittle.

So, which chef was sent packing? Michael was the winner with 22 stars and Hubert and Rick each received 19 stars. That left Anita and Art to fight it out for the remaining spot in the next round of the Champions Round. Anita edged out Art by just half of a star.

Now to find out which houseguest will be evicted on BB11.

Haha, Russell is being so paranoid! And while he started drama between Chima and Michele, it ended up being bad on him because he made a big deal about it. What is stupid about Russell’s game is that he tells everyone what everyone else says because he wants to call people out. So, while Michele was lying up in the HOH room, she needed to save herself somehow since Russell was throwing her under the bus.

Oh gosh, while Ronnie was trying get a sympathy vote from Jordan, he was inadvertently preventing Jeff and Jordan for getting a little alone time. How funny!

Jeff is the winner of the Coup D’Etat!! I can’t believe he was chosen. I thought for sure that Ronnie would get it. But I like Jeff and I was hoping that Ronnie didn’t win because he would have put up Jeff and Jordan for sure. Naturally, he didn’t use the Coup D’Etat so we’ll see if it gets used next week.

Okay, we have had yet another crazy eviction speech. Ronnie basically thanked everyone for his time there and said that there is good in everyone except Michele. He even went so far as to say that she is the worst human being that he has ever met. Ugh, really?! She hasn’t done anything to you! Just because she has decided not to vote for you doesn’t mean that she is a horrible human being. Wow. I just think that was too far. And if it was for gameplay, that doesn’t make it any better!

So, the eviction went as follows: Kevin voted our Ronnie; Natalie and Chima voted to evict Lydia; Jessie also voted out Lydia; Michele voted out Ronnie as did Jeff and Jordan. That makes it official! Ronnie has been evicted from the house.

Poor Michele. You can tell that she is trying so hard not to cry. And if Ronnie’s reason for hating her so much was that she had no loyalty in the game than that is stupid! Like he said, it’s a game and that doesn’t necessarily prove true to how you are as a person. I feel like everything he said, too, can be said about him. He probably lied to more people than Michele did. And she does have loyalty to some people, now. Gosh, now I feel ashamed for ever having liked Ronnie.

For the HOH Competition, the houseguests got messages from Big Brother fans giving them advice. Then the houseguests needed to answer True/False questions passed on the advice given to them. Chima ended up winning the competition and she is now the new HOH. I think Russell should be worried but Jeff could always just his Coup D’Etat power to nominate Jesse and Natalie for example! Should be an interesting week!

Next up on Get Real, the nomination ceremony on Big Brother. Stay tuned :)
