Big Brother Week 11 – Jordan Hangs On!

Despite the silent hype around tonight’s episode of Big Brother, I didn’t feel that it was all that climatic. Even Jordan winning wasn’t a surprise to me. It wasn’t like she was facing Kevin; she was facing this season’s biggest choke artist: Natalie.

Still, even though it wasn’t a surprise that Jordan won the second competition,  don’t think I wasn’t standing in front of my tv screaming, “GO JORDO GO,” because I was. Now with her victory. the stage is set for finale night. Jordan vs Kevin; East Coast vs West Coast, and sticking with this seasons theme: The Populars vs The Offbeats. I don’t hate Kevin, nor do I hate his game, but my vote is for Jordan to win simply because I like her more than I like Kevin. If all goes according to my plan, Natalie won’t even be in the final two.

Speaking of the final two, I feel it’s only right that I touch on the twist that was revealed tonight. You know, the twist that has all three house guests staying in the house until one of them is evicted live on finale night. At first I didn’t think it would change anything, but now that I think about it this twist could have a profound effect on the outcome of the game.

Normally, the final two would talk to the jurors on Saturday or Sunday, then everyone in the jury house would have the weekend and the earlier part of the week to think about the answers they got and discuss amongst themselves who they thought should win, and why. With all of this  happening in the span of two hours on Tuesday it really takes away the jurors chance to compare notes or to reflect on the answers the final two had given them.

I think the person who wins the final HoH will be the person to win Big Brother 11, because Jordan and Kevin are pretty much even as far as competitions won in the game as a whole.  I think for a lot of people it’ll come down to who could win the “big one.”

Leave us a comment and let us know what you think and you’d like to see win Big Brother 11.

Big Brother 11 Week 6 Eviction and HoH Update

(Chris has evening classes for the next few weeks, so I will be filling in for him.)

Well, every thing went as expected tonight as far as the eviction and Coup d’etat goes. Jeff used his Wizard Power to remove Lydia and Russell from the block, and replaced them with Natalie and Jessie. Natalie gave a graceful “let me save my ass” speech, and Jessie removed his shirt to reveal a lame shirt with his picture on it and some self-promoting writing on it. His speech was so rambling and unproductive that Julie Chen eventually had to tell him to sit down so that the show could go on. And, in a vote of three to two he was kicked out of the Big Brother house. Lydia voted for Natalie (duh!), and Russell cast a strategic vote for Natalie. This way, if he makes it to the end, he can always tell Jessie that he voted for him to stay. Smart thinking, but I don’t think Russell is going to make it that far.

I just want to say that Russell is playing the game fairly intelligently. His downfall is that he flies off the handle way too much, and burns bridges because of it.

Chima said that she is going to speak to production because she feels that Jeff broke the rule of the Coup d’etat, by telling Russell that he would keep him safe. Unless Kevin is in production, I really don’t think they are going to be shaking in their shoes because she wants to have a few words with them.

And I am just waiting for Kevin to hit the bricks, because at first I thought he was a floater, and I was wrong. Floaters actions are not completely motivated by fear. If he thinks that Chima is thinking about keeping him in the long term, when she clearly said she wanted only girls to be in the game at the end, he is delusional.

Next was the Head of Household competition. It was one of those memory-themed competitions. To cut  a long story short; Michelle emerged victorious. I like Michelle, but I am not sure what kind of game she is playing. This week will give everyone a clear view of her actual alliances.
