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.
Big Brother 11 Week 10 – Michelle Gets Outsted and Final HoH Competition Spoilers

So,, Michelle goes bye bye. I can’t say I didn’t see it coming, but still her walking out of the house gave me yet another sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. As happy as I was that Jeff decided to get Russell two weeks ago I can’t help but think “what if?” What if Jeff kept Russell and he stayed true to his word? Would the final four have been Jeff, Russell, Jordan, and Michelle? We’ll never know, but still it doesn’t hurt to dream.
Now, let us take a look at our final three, Kevin, Jordo, and Natalie. Obviously they kept Jordan around because they feel they can beat her in any type of mind competition, and in endurance she’s not that great either. I hope that Jordan pulls out that competitive spirit that helped her to last longer than both Kevin and Natalie in the Graduation endurance competition. 
Right now we’re about an hour into the competition and all three house guests are still going strong. So far there has been a torrential down pour, hurricane-like winds, and the log sped up. There was a moment when the log abruptly stopped and everyone nearly stepped off. The log had since then started back up, its rotation reversed so that the house guest have to walk backwards in order to stay on.
I’ll be updating this post as the competition develops so check back often.
Update 3 hours and 35minutes In
Jordan falls. The log stay still for a good 30 minutes before starting up again catching Jordo off guard and sending her to the ground. About three minutes after Jordan went inside Kevin and Natalie started discussing who would fall and it appeared that they decided Natalie would fall in 5 minutes. Almost immediately after they came that decision Natalie made Kevin promise to take her to final 2 and he did. He actually promised on everything he could possibly promise on so I’m inclined to believe he’ll keep her if he gets to make that choice. Either way Kevin wins stage one of the HoH.
Big Brother Week 7 – Bye Bye Lydia, Jeff Wins HoH

Tonight was a busy night on Big Brother 11. With Chima and Jessie gone from the house, the alliance that dominated the house for the last four weeks was decimated. The remaining three players of Natalie, Kevin and Lydia were desperate to stop the bleeding, hopefully by winning The Power of Veto and having either Kevin or Lydia taken off the block. Once they were off the block, the plan was to get Russell on the block and have his teammates back door him.
The problem was getting his alliance to see him as a threat and want him gone. In the television version, of Big Brother, Russell looked like he turned his back on Jeff by making a side deal with Michelle to go to the final two. In actuality, he has made deals with both Jeff and Michelle, but he is not “screwing anyone over” in his alliance at this point.
In the TV version, Kevin approaches Jeff and tells him that he wants to be down with him and shows how honorable he is by telling him that Russell is making all kinds of deals behind his back. This is the lie that is supposed to put the chink in the armor of the alliance. On TV it looks like Jeff has taken the bait.
In real life, Kevin’s plan worked only for a short time. The alliance all got together and figured out that Kevin was lying. Russell came clean about what he said to Michelle, and the issue was squashed. However, they didn’t let on to Kevin that they knew he was lying (hence, his conferencing with them before the veto ceremony, and his not knowing who to vote out when the they took no one off the block).
We are now waiting for the results of the HoH competition. Keep checking back to find out more.
Update: Jeff has won Head of Household.
Big Brother 11 Week 6 – Jordan is HoH!

Early this morning I let you all know that Chima “excused” herself from the game. This afternoon something else crazy happened: Jordan won HOH!
OnThursday’s show Julie let us know that it was going to be a double eviction, but I guess Chima’s exit sped everything along. Michele doesn’t seem too upset about her HoH reign being cut short either, as her nomination of Chima was the straw that broke the camel’s back and resulted in her leaving. I have to admit, the Coup D’etat shook this game up way more than I ever thought it would. This is the most exciting season since season 8 and I’m wondering what Evel Dick would do next if he was there.
PS: Now Lydia and Natalie are talking about quitting. Talk about poor sports. Soon as you aren’t in power you decide everyone is cheating and you want to quit.
Update: As a result of the competition, Lydia has gone off the deep end, and is trying to “pull a Chima” to get kicked out. Read more…
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.

I’ll admit that I didnt watch the feed for while after Ronnie won HoH because I”m a sore loser, and things didn’t go the way I wanted with the eviction or the HoH. But I have a job to do, so I had to see how Ronnie was explaining his vote. It turns out he wasn’t. He was putting the blame on Michelle.
Initially he tried to blame Casey, but people weren’t really buying it, so he decided to place the blame on Michelle. This flimsy story was widely accepted as the truth, for a while at least.
As expected, Ronnie put Jeff up on the block and coupled him with Laura. From the talk around the house, Laura is the real target and Jeff is there only as pawn. Both Jessie and Natalie approached Jeff and told him that he had their votes. They were soon followed by Lydia and Russell, so I do think that he might actually be the pawn. Ronnie even went as far as to tell him to make sure he won veto, because he doesn’t want him to go home. Sure,Ronnie told Laura the same thing, but if you take into account what everyone else says it looks like Jeff is in the clear, unless he does something stupid to piss everyone off.
While I’m typing this the veto competition has gone underway. So when it wraps up and the veto is used I’ll let you guys know.
