Final Five

Yesterday’s show picks up during the HoH challenge. Jeff tells us that to him, watching someone fall down is the funniest thing ever, so he had a great time. Jordan fell so many times that I was just glad the poor girl is close to the ground to begin with. Ouch! Michele did her best, but when Natalie noticed that Kevin was in the lead, she pretty much gave up. Kevin was not impressed.
After the competition, Kevin and Natalie discuss who they want to get rid of. Despite their promise to Jeff, they think about whether they want to vote Jeff or Michele out of the house. Michele feels completely alone so she puts on the ugliest dress she can find and goes to cry in the Splish Splash room.
Time to see Kevin’s HoH room! Kevin completely falls apart when he gets a letter from home (aw!) and everyone enjoys sharing in his HOH room experience.
Jordan tells Natalie about her home life and how her family lost their house to foreclosure. It made me so sad. She talks about how she loves to live with her family and that she’ll probably live with her mom until she gets married.
The Jordan Show continues as Jordan argues with everyone about whether or not the peach she ate was a nectarine. Michele says she doesn’t know because she’s never eaten a peach that didn’t come in a can. Really? Jeff and Natalie assure Jordan that her peach was actually a nectarine but she doesn’t believe them. Why? Because IT HAS THE NUT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT AND THEY TASTE JUST ALIKE! I love her.
Next, Natalie gives herself a stroke trying to keep away from a dragonfly. She wants all bugs on earth to be destroyed. Jordan pipes up that she “doesn’t see what the need of having them are.” Indeed. Who needs crops?
Next, everyone is back in the kitchen and Natalie is point blank telling Kevin that she thinks Michele should go because she doesn’t trust her. Poor Michele is quiet and says she understands. Natalie tells us that berating Michele was strategic, in order to make Jeff feel safe. In the bedroom, the four of them chat without Michele present and Jeff jumps on their wagon, saying they should definitely get rid of her. They actually spend quite a bit of time together, discussing Jeff’s preferences when it comes to women. I can’t stop laughing at the look of disgust on Jordan’s face!
Kevin entertains all of his opponents in the HoH room, one at a time. Jeff brings up a good point when he says that he broke his final four alliance in order to help Kevin, but Kevin responds that in his worst case scenario, he’d have to trust Jeff to vote Michele out and he doesn’t think he can do that. He promises Jeff that even though he’ll be nominated, he won’t be evicted. We’ll see! Jeff and Michele are now on the block.

I pointed this out on Twitter last night (and Andy Denhart even echoed it) but Natalie is absolutely the laziest houseguest this season and maybe ever. She really showed it this episode, particularly when she wouldn’t even get up to get away from the dragonfly. Instead, she told Kevin to take care of it for her.
Nice knowin’ ya, Jeff. See you in the jury house. Now who got got?

I don’t want Jeff to go, but if Kevin’s smart, he’ll get rid of him instead of Michele. However, I am willing to bet that if Jeff goes home and Jordan remains, Kevin could lose Natalie to Jordan…they’re awfully chummy.
Natalie is just annoying. I don’t know how anyone can stand her. She grates at me, from her voice to her hair to the way she walks like a manduck.

@papercuts! And she’s so in DENIAL about it. She’s sure she holds all the power, she’s bragging that she can beat people like Michele in comps… the girl can’t even SHOWER with regularity, it’s too exerting.
Ugh, I tell ya. Everything is wacky in that house, and I chuckle at the thought of Jeff being bounced, even though I thought he was a savvy player a couple of weeks ago and was gunning for him to go all the way. He didn’t just get got, he got bend over a damn barrel.
It’s the same with Jordan, I’ve gone right off that gal, and am now on the Michele bandwagon, go figure. To paraphrase Willow, I have all this involuntary empathy for her, ’cause she’s, you know, a big spaz.
Of course, I’m getting the feeds opinion of how ratty they all are, and I remember why I hate this show beyond all normalcy, thanks to the editing.
I look forward to the Jury shot of Jeff walking in. I’m sure it’s going to give Russell the warm fuzzies, lol.

I loved when Natalie told Kevin to kill the dragonfly and Jeff piped up, “I will fight you.” That made me laugh. A lot.
Also, I cannot believe how hard they were falling during the HOH comp. It looked really dangerous!

I’m starting to think they pump some kind of mood altering drugs into the house. I, too, thought Jeff was a savvy player, but how many times this episode did he whine about Kevin keeping his word? And then when he got nominated, said that it shows what kind of man Kevin is. Uh, Jeff, didn’t you just go on and on about how it was smart game play to backdoor Russell and (essentially) Jesse? Now it’s suddenly dumb to get rid of the strongest player?
And if Jordan was up, and Jeff won the POV and took her off, he’d be an idiot not to vote Natalie off. Kevin was supposed to buy that? C’mon.
Delusional!

I will miss him.

Everyone on this show (and everyone that watches it) seems to be surprised when they realize that at some point, they will be voted out. Four people can’t win. Only one person can win. The crybabies over at TWoP blame production for fixing the game every time things don’t go their way. The actual houseguests call each other “immoral” for wanting to win, but call themselves “smart” when they do it. And all of it is so annoying.
Interested to see what’s behind this “mystery door,” though.
I still like Jeff and Jordan. I see everyone on the feeds talking about how “vile” and “awful” they are, yet I’ve not read any actual examples of that behavior. This happens every year. The feed watchers/superfans get mad when America starts liking who THEY like, and they turn to someone else to favor and then cry about how unfair it all is. It seriously drives me up a fucking wall.

And…I’ll shut up now. Just had to vent. I should stay off the other boards!

TWoP forums are where crazy go to die; I’d pay no heed to that.
I wouldn’t say any of them are vile, except Natalie. Stupid, and cruel, but not vile. But, it’s the same thing that happens every year – they spend too long in the house with nothing but other social miscreants, and decide that the behaviour is acceptable. All the while, they tell America and themselves, that they’re playing with integrity, blah dee blah.
Stupid and cruel is when they shun people, decide with no real reason that they never tell the truth and then make mean or nasty comments, deliberately just in earshot. Calling them crazy bitches, useless bitches, fat (which is why I LOL when someone says it to Jordan) psycho bitches blah dee blah.. and all the while, that person is still trying to work with, and help them. Then they stop talking to them altogether. Like that poor Zack, bless. They’ve had some moments. Like Evil Dick, without the tact.
WOO! I guess that was MY vent, hee hee

Is everyone treating Michele like that? That’s a shame.
11. Nicci J said ( Tuesday, September 01, 2009 at 1:23 pm )
On and off – they thought maybe she was such a stupid bitch they could get her to use the veto on Jeff, if she won. So all of a sudden she’s cool beans again.
It’s that whole mob mentality. If someone (hint: short, cheater, lazybum) rags about someone for on long enough, everyone else pitches in too. And why? Because she’s a socially awkward scatterbrain? My GOD, they’d eat me alive. Which I think is why I take such personal offense to it. I’ve had to stop reading sometimes, because I found it physically upsetting, lol. Which I guess says as much about me, as it does them

Nicci, I spoiled that out, because I’m actually not sure what you’re talking about there. You mentioned veto, which doesn’t air until tonight. I’m probably being over-cautious because I think I lack reading comprehension today. But better safe than sorry!

One more thing — After five days in Florida, I have my 5 and 8 year old nieces running around the house yelling, “YOU GOT GOT!”
My work here is done.
