'BB' Update: Angie's Out, Jessie's Freaking Out
LOS ANGELES (CBS) ―
It took more than a 5.4 earthquake to rattle the "Big Brother 10" house this week.
In a stunning 8-0 vote Thursday night, Angie -- the Korean tomboy who loves to toss back the brewskis -- was voted out...surprising since Jessie, who was also on the block, made it a point of getting on everyone's nerves this week.
Forget the quake and the aftershocks. Jessie went around the house cursing, whining to and insulting his fellow houseguests. He went as far as calling Jerry "Father Time" every time he walked past him and added farting noises for good measure.
He also spent an inordinate time whining to Keesha about being put up on the block in the first place. "I cant sleep. I can't eat. I'm going crazy! I've lost six pounds." (As often as Jessie was shirtless, he looked no different to us.)
Meanwhile, Michelle, Jessie's biggest ally in the house, was having a couple of freakouts of her own. She had a few crying jags when it looked like Keesha would not use the Power of Veto to save either Angie or Jessie and it became clear that one of her best buds was definitely walking out the door.
The best freakout of the week, though, probably came from Memphis who went ballistic when Jerry called him "a womanizer." Note to Memphis, we looked up "Insulting Things You Can Call Someone" on the net, and womanizer didn't even come in the top 104. THAT made you nuts? Good thing he didn't call you #1, #6 and...our personal favorite, #22 (which, if you ask us, you kinda are.)
Michelle, the Portuguese Bombshell who runs her hands through her cascading locks every four minutes -- time her, we did --, also had a nasty run in with Jerry...she called him every name in the book and some we didn't find on our Internet list. Whoa! (And note to Michelle and Memphis: Have you never ever heard the phrase "Respect your elders"? Should you really be getting up in the grill of someone Jerry's age!?)
This house seems to be filled with a bunch of narcissists....which makes for excellent TV. Most excellent! And, if you are scoring at home, they're pretty good when it comes to lying. Libra seems to be the best liar in the bunch with Dan coming in a close second. Jerry has to be the worst liar in the history of the show.
And, how to put this nicely?, some of the contestants aren't exactly rocket scientists either. It will be a cold day in West Hollywood before we ever let Jessie the bodybuilder (who keeps insisting how smart he is) do our taxes. Did anyone understand his speech to the houseguests on why he should stay? That speech was so inarticulate and hard to follow that he should be voted out on that alone. Similarly, his "goodbye" to Angie was...well, it was close to being as bad as his "goodbye" to Steven.
But the worst moment for Big J? While discussing Libra in the Diary Room, Jessie said Libra had to be the most "deviant" person he ever met. That might be true, but the word he was trying to use was "devious." Quite a different meaning there, Jess.
Ollie might have said it best when he said, in passing, while discussing the various houseguests strange strategies and game play, "I think we might be the dumbest cast in BB history."
Ollie...we are ready to agree with you but ... we are thinking you might be the dumbest cast in TV history. Period.
Keesha wanted Angie out, who really wasn't a threat. Dan, who is a threat to everyone, is skating by on his limited charm ... but all the woman seem to be falling for the innocent Catholic school teacher act.
America has also fallen for it, as they voted this week to make Diabolical Dan "America's Player." That should make for an interesting week to say the least!
One night this week, most of the men in the house (save for Jerry and Dan) put on skin-tight, leave-nothing-to-the-imagination green unitards and pretended to be American Gladiators. Olllie and Jessie, in particular, seemed to enjoy strutting their stuff (and we mean all their stuff) in the ladies' faces.
Dan begged off saying the unitard was unbecoming a Catholic school teacher (although we think he has muscle envy and he knows next to Ollie, Memphis and Jessie, he looks a bit puny) Still, the women in the house all sighed that "Dan would probably look the best of all them." Ouch! Take that Mr. Bodybuilder. Memphis also showed a modicum of decency by putting on shorts over the unitard.
He is, afterall, no womanizer!
