Reality Roll Call

By Lakiya Emerson

The Milwaukee round is the final auditions in So You Think You Can Dance before Vegas. It opened with a hip hop montage that had Nigel giving comments such as, “hip hop isn’t a style it’s a culture.” It was like hearing Simon Cowell talk about the difference between rap and hip hop—totally unexpected.

Michael Kim was the first to audition. He popped and locked his way across the stage looking like a preying mantis. Michael, who had made it to the Vegas round last year but was kicked out because he couldn’t samba, will be returning to Vegas this year.

Next we had the proverbial, “we’re here to support” montage where friends and family are shown sitting with the contestant. It closes with Katee and Natalie, two roommates who have decided to support each other. Both of them make it to Vegas.

James dodged a bullet once again on BB9,  and that very same bullet knocked Josh out of the Big Brother  house. On the bright side, the house has another opportunity to get rid of James this week. Adam won HoH and is the first repeat(single) HoH this season. Knowing that Adam and James are boys it’ll be interesting if he sticks with the plan and goes after him this week. I could see him going after Sharon and Sheila, but if he did Sheila would make him feel horrible for doing it. The best bet is to go after James because like I said before nobody will be able to beat him in the final two.

Adam has decided to place James and Chelsia on the block this week. I figured he’d either do that or place Josh on the block only because he’s never been nominated for eviction. Neither James or Chelsia are campaigning that much just yet. I think they’re waiting to see if one of them can win the POV so they don’t attack the other persons character needlessly.

Breaking News!

As I was typing this up, the Veto competition was taking place so the feeds were down. Now they’re back up, and James is walking about wearing the golden power of veto. This means Adam will have to put up a replacement nominee in next few days and I think he’ll go with Josh. If that’s the person he chooses then Chelsia may have a chance to stay, because Josh’s random outbursts towards the women in the house have rubbed everyone the wrong way. I think I’d put that aside for now; I’d  at least still vote out Chelsia if only to break up the strongest 2 person alliance in the house.

Time for us all to say goodbye to Matt. It’s a little hard this season to be upset when somebody gets evicted since I never really got that “they didn’t deserve to go” feeling about any of them. Yeah, Matt didn’t really do anything to warrant his eviction, but he also didn’t play the game well enough for us to say he got screwed. The only reason he left is because James felt that he was some sort of of unproven threat… But that’s enough time spent on Matty: he’s gone; lets move on.

When Wednesday night,s show started I was  sure that James or Sharon would go home. But little did I know, the house guests are complete idiots.

After James was voted out 5-1, the new Big Brother twist siren went off and Julie informed the house that they’d have a chance to bring back a previously evicted house guest. They had the choice between either James or mystery house guest that turned out to be Alex due to America’s votes. To my surprise, everyone but Matt and Sheila voted for James to come back in the house. Why in the world would you vote to bring back the person you just BACK DOORED? There wasn’t anyone who could’ve been in the mystery box that would’ve been bad to have back in the house for the group that worked to get rid of James. That just goes to show why this season’s house guests suck at game strategies.

Its the time we’ve all(or at least I) have been waiting for, the splitting up of the couples. Since I’m pretty late with my recaps this week I’m gonna cover everything that happened this week from the eviction, new HOH, Nominations, Veto winner and the replacement nomination so lets get things started.

It was a sad moment for Allison last Wednesday when she was evicted from the Big Brother house 2-0. Then she was shocked like the rest of us when she was told the couples would be broken up and now the rest of the house would be voting out either her or Ryan. Thats one of those moments when you think you might have chance to stay but maybe, just maybe the house was voting you out because they didn’t like your partner. Well needless to say that was the case the only problem was that the house was voting out Ryan because they hated Allison and with them no longer teamed up they were free to vote out Allison 6-0. Being evicted twice in one night must really suck, but its not as bad as being evicted three times ain’t that right KAAAYSAAAAR!

This week James and Chelsia won HoH and to my surprise everyone in the house for the most part everyone in the house was ok with it. Ryan and Adam even talked some strategy with James last night trying to figure out how to make the girls votes null and void. Also during that conversation James let the two guys know that he made out with a drunken Chelsia and used the “N” word(not in a racial slur type of way). At that point nobody really had any idea who the new HoH’s were going to put up, but once morning came around and everyone sobered up and went to work. The after very little convincing Chelsia and James were convinced to stick to the plan and continue to get rid of the Parker, Alex, and Matt alliance.
