Evel Dick Donato Gives Us Hope for the future of Big Brother 11

No one is happy about the way this season of Big Brother 11 turned out. I like Jordan, but let’s be honest; right now it looks like the final two will be Kevin and Natalie. Natalie was not likable from the start, but Kevin was kind of quiet in the house for the first few weeks, so the only thing I disliked about him was his fashion sense. What’s with the haircut? It’s like he told his barber to cut racing stripes into his head.
But, despite the nasty remarks he’s made recently, I think outside of the house Kevin is probably a nice guy. Natalie, on the other hand, I’m not too sure about. She has displayed absolutely no redeeming qualities since she has been in the house. In a lot of ways, she’s like a female Jessie. Except, she is totally devoid of a sense of humor, and the ability to have a normal conversation with another person. Which makes her worse than Jessie.
But Evel Dick Donato from Big Brother 8 says that there may in fact be hope for us all. He writes in his MySpace blog:
Big Announcement….
The final three is so f***ing horrible this year that they are going to have a triple eviction and tell them all to kill themselves, that they suck, America hates them (except Jordan, but she won’t understand anyhow) and that they are replacing them with myself, JP, MB & DR. That way at least someone might watch the final episodes and give a f**k what happens.
But CBS will have something to say today….
Listen for it and watch thurs
Can Big Brother 11 Save Itself From the Impending Crash and Burn?

Big Brother 11 Heads Towards the Worst Ending Ever
We are at the point in the Big Brother season where I usually write my “Player’s Fatal Mistakes” piece. You know, the one where I review each house guest that’s been evicted to date and tell you where I think they sealed their fate. I’m not doing that this year.
One of reasons there will be no “Player’s Fatal Mistakes” is because the set up of the game in the early part of this season excluded certain people from eviction for the week. If a member of your clique won Head of Household, you were safe as well. It worked well when it saved people from being evicted for personal reasons instead of game play. It worked poorly when it saved underhanded game players from the fate they deserved.
But each Big Brother season is an experiment. Each season there is a theme that changes the rules of what is essentially a human chess game. CBS doesn’t know how the game will shake out in the end, or if the house guests will find a glitch in the game that can change it fundamentally (like the “six finger” plan made up by Nakomis in season 5, which later came to be known as “back dooring”). The entertainment factor of Big Brother is based on the fundamentals of all competition reality shows: rules + personalities = good ratings.
And up until last Thursday, the ratings for Big Brother have been greatly assisted by the personalities of some of the house guests this season. Despite whatever Ronnie thought about his game play, viewers saw that he was playing too hard too soon, and honestly couldn’t get far in the game because of his strategic errors and social handicap. He would have been evicted much sooner were it not for the protection of the clique. We couldn’t wait to see him get his.
Jessie’s power in the house was really an illusion. He automatically had a built in alliance because of his clique, and others who clung to him did so because he came in as Head of Household and a former player. He was still the arrogant meathead he was last season, and to make matters worse he showed the kind of man he was in his interactions with Lydia and Natalie. We watched to see if either of the women would wise up.
Chima’s brand of mean-spirited, man-hating, crazy added a big boost to the ratings. We knew it couldn’t last, but we hung in there to see how far her destructive personality would take her. And Lydia. The thing about Lydia’s personality in the game is that sometimes she was funny, and occasionally she had moments of clarity. Sometimes I wanted to pat her on head and say, “you poor thing; get some help.” And sometimes I wanted to throw a bucket of ice water on her and tell her to get a grip.
Everyone else, including Russell, was kind of a throwaway. Russell played hard, and was a great competitor. And I thought he was cute, cauliflower ears aside. But I really didn’t miss him when he left. And I knew I wouldn’t miss Michelle, but she played a good game.
I could say how much I enjoyed Jeff and Jordan as a showmance, and Jeff as game player and a hottie, but I would be saying what most people are saying out there. Let me just say this, because it has been driving me crazy for weeks: TECHNOTRONIC is a proper noun. Doesn’t anyone remember the song, “Pump Up the Jam”? The performers derived their name from the music genre known as “techno”.
But Russell screamed and screamed about technotronic not being a word. And sadly, in America these days the rule is that if you scream loud and long enough about something, it must be true.
But I digress. The bottom line is that once Jeff was voted out, America knew the face of the game was going to be ugly. I don’t know what the ratings were for Big Brother last night, but I could only bear to watch ten minutes of the show. We knew Michelle was going to get the boot, and Jordan can’t really hold her own.
Which leaves us with the possibility of a final two that actually make Maggie and Ivette of season 6 look popular. Evel Dick of Big Brother 8 sums the situation up in words that mirror my sentiment:
“The final three is so f***ing horrible this year that they are going to have a triple eviction and tell them all to kill themselves…”
It might boost ratings.
EvelDick talks about his tv pilot

For those of you who have been following the post-Big Brother 8 pursuits of winner Dick Donato, you know that he does a podcast on RealNetworks, and that he is pitching a reality tv show called “EvelDick Behind Bars“.
Now, if I were pitching a show called EvelDick Behind Bars, I would have E.D. live for three days with petty criminals in a secure halfway house, competing for a $50,000. His job would be to try to drive the contestants to the brink of tears or attempted assault, and the contestant who is left in the house after three days wins. If they all break down, he wins the money.
His idea is more civilized that that, fortunately. In his words:
The pilot I shot “EvelDick Behind Bars” has been received very well by the industry people involved and that will be pitching the show to the networks. Fifteen meetings with fifteen different networks have been scheduled over the next month and everyone is excited about the show. And the actors strike couldn’t have come at a better time, now they will be looking for more reality based shows for their schedules.
If you are behind on all of this, the show is like kitchen nightmares, but it will be me and not Chef Ramsey, and it will be in bars and clubs across the country, not in restaurants.
The stars and planets are aligning and it seems as I am on the way to having my own show soon. So, keep your middle fingers up and wish me fuck (which is way better than luck) and I could be pissing you off on TV again soon.

Dan vs The Donatos in Big Brother 8? It Could Have Been

Picture this: it’s summer 2007, and Big Brother 8 is going full steam. Daniele Donato is winning more competitions than the law allows, Amber is somewhere crying about life in general, and Evel Dick is raising hell. And Dan Gheesling is America’s Player, squirting mustard on Jen’s clothing, casting “hinkey” votes and at our beck and call. Yes, instead of Eric in the DR, raising his eyebrow and getting his orders from America, it could have been Dan in the DR, over projecting his voice and heeding our wishes.
The Big Brother player who has turned the house upside down this week, actually first applied to be on the show two years ago, according to an interview with his sister, Kelly. The producers actually asked him to be on the show two or three times, but he turned it down because the timing wasn’t right for him and he wanted to finish college.
Had he actually accepted sooner, maybe things could have been different last summer. Click here to read the full article.

Just recently Zach had a little sit down with the ” Big Brother Loop” and gave them an update on his life after Big Brother. We all know that he started his own clothing line by the name of Dolphin Crash but he is also up to a few new things. In the interview he talks about reuniting with Sweets(the ex he mentioned on the show), rescuing dolphins, falling on swords, and even some panty munching. Ok, maybe I made up the panty munching part but the interview is pretty interesting. Chek out the interview at the BigBrotherLoop.com

With the premier of Big Brother 10 five days away I’ve decided to give you guys an update on what’s going on with fan favorite and winner of Big Brother 8, Evel Dick Dontato. A lot of you already know that last season he appeared regularly on House Calls with Gretchen Massey, and because of the positive feedback he’ll back this season talking with the evicted house guest every Thursday.
Now, on to the more exciting news: Because of his overall success with the things he did for Real Player Super Pass, they’ve decided to give him his own show. The show will air Wednesdays during the live feeds down time (6pm ET & 3pm PT) because of the live eviction show. That’s right; no more flames or hamsters with the looping BB theme! The show will be set in the Cat Club on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood. E.D. will talk with ex house guest, friends, celebs, and random people about what happened on the previous week’s show. The first two episodes of the show will be free, but after that you’ll have to get to see him in addition to the BB 10 houseguest 24/7.

Its been a pretty long time since we heard from Big Brother All Stars fan favorite Kaysar Ridha, but there has been a very good reason. He’s been working on getting his website up and running. You can post videos, create blogs and join a pretty nice community. Kaysar chats with members in the chat box on the site, which I think is a really nice touch. I’m not sure if he’ll continue to do it when the new site smell dissipates, but its a nice bonus for the time being. You can check out his website at www.Kaysar.org.
