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.

Chelsea is out of here and good riddance I say. She went out of the house like a bitter baby. There was no reason for her to verbally attack Natalie all week, especially after her closest ally(James) in the house asked her to stop because it was going to hurt him more than it would her. But shes gone now and Natalie won HoH as most house guest do after they have a bad week prior to the competition.

I am rooting for Natalie to win over everyone in the house and this was a long time coming, congrats and kudos to her. The only reason I didn’t want her to win was because if she won she’d have to constantly go over the competition and tell people what was going through her mind as she was answering the questions. But hey that’s Natalie; she talks non stop and when she stops and you think shes done you realize she was just taking breath to start talking some more.

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.

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.
