The LA Fire & The Big Brother House

BB House & LA Fire
The LA fires don't directly threaten the Big Brother set in Studio City, shown in the lower left corner of the map as "BB". The backyard set has very high walls, otherwise the house guests could easily see the smoke clouds rising to the north and the haze above them. The smoke is covering the city for many miles in all directions.
F5 Saturday Night
It's Saturday night and the lonely turd-boy lovers are wishing they could keep their stud around so they can imagine one more time that he really wants to make out with them, rather than Jordo. Exhaustion and hallucination are the hallmarks of the experience, aided perhaps by a liberal shot of JD in that Coke they brought home with the happy meals from Mickey D's. Their husbands and boyfriends could solve all our problems by banging them into insensibility, however they're too beat down by life and the incessant demands of their better halves to take care of business the old-fashioned way.
Yes, in a nutshell, I have a very simple message for all the Jeff-lovers of the world: Get Fvcked!
In the nicest possible way of course
Russell's Eviction
Joolz sez there are "Lies lurking around every corner," and everyone who watches the feeds knows that's a fact. Straight to flashbacks: Jeff wins HoH! Kevin and Natalie throw Russell under the bus and Jeff buys what they're selling. Jeff wins the Veto competition and Russell goes up and is set to go out. Meanwhile, Kevin and Natalie plan to evict Jeff next week if they can win HoH. The only certain thing is that Russell is NOT a happy camper! Just before they roll the credits we get to see Jordo deliver a chest-bumping smackdown to Russell. Wow!
We're back, straight into the Veto Ceremony, and if looks could kill Russell would take out the whole city of LA. He's all about "they picked the wrong f'n guy" in the Diary Room, but he has that sick "I'm so f'd" look on his face when he says it. Kevin and Natalie are dancing in the aisles, or in this case, dancing in the storage room. Natalie thinks she and Kevin have the advantage over Michele and Jordan for the next HoH competition.
Michele is in tears after the veto ceremony. Even though she dislikes Russell, she'll be a lot weaker without him in the house. Russell thinks Jeff is an idiot, and that statement cues up vids of the backyard screaming matches. We see Russell sitting on the back porch immediately after the Veto Ceremony, he threatens to mop up the floor with Jeff's face in the jury house. Jeff replies that he's not scared of Russell at all, and that Russell has no character.
Jordo comes outside and goes off on Russell, she tells him he's just pissed because he lost. Jeff keeps shoving the "you got got" phrase straight up Russell's azz. They only have to put up with Russell a few more days. Russell thinks Michele would vote to keep him and that Kevin is a swing vote. With those two on his side, he might be able to stick around. In the Diary Room, Kevin says he has to think about it even though he hates Russell. Would saving Russell really help Kevin in the game? He's not sure.
Jump to Wednesday afternoon and Russell is getting desperate. Jeff's not responding to Russell, but Jordan gets pissed when Russell starts calling her fat. Jordo says "You hate it, you're going home!" and everyone knows it's true, except Russell. Russell's desperation is laughable, after two days to think up insults the best he can do is to insult a woman.
Meanwhile, Natalie tells Kevin "if you keep Russell I'll stab you in the heart," and you have to believe she'd try lol. More crap from Russell the Loser, he just keeps spewing like a grade school punk on his way to juvie.
Then Joolz appears to pimp the right back. >>>
Jeff pwns Russell
This recap & analysis is by Capgirl, originally posted at BB Chatter:
I've watched it back a few times now, and Russ openly admitted that what he said didn't matter, what deals he may or may not have had didn't matter... he was just angry that Jeff broke his word. This shows Russ is holding himself to a different standard. Also, Russ started that fight, no doubt about it.
Jeff's comment about the neck stabbing came AFTER Russ's threat.
But, it's all hilarious because Russ says what he says doesn't matter. He essentially negates his own arguments, and probably his own threats too.
Per Russ, "I could have told them the sky was f*cking pink. If I wanted it to be pink, it could be pink. What I told you may have been different than what I told someone else. So how do you know what I said to you wasn't true?"
In other words, Russ is telling them his word is probably crap but you just have to trust him, and how dare you question the idea that his word might actually BE crap, even though he just told you it was.
I don't get all of the Jeff hatred all of a sudden. From the day the feeds started we've all known that Russ has deals with everyone. And Russ is so predictable that we all knew he'd react this way. Russ was bested by his own rather lame game play. Russ is pissed that he got caught...and he's using threats of violence, which may or may not actually be threats because he might not really mean what he says... but we just have to believe him because he says it?
Here's the transcript of the start of the fight:
J: What's up, yo? You want to talk about it?
R: Go for it.
J: I mean, you got anything to say?
R: Huh?
J: You gotta know it was a smart move on my play. [pause] You don't think so?
R: [pause] [quietly] ... I just--
J: Huh?
R: It's....
J: Dude, I know you're upset now. But, you gotta think about what's best for you in this house, you know?
R: Do you know what you said right there?
J: What'd I say?
R: When you were sitting right there?
J: What'd I say?
R: You said,"If any of us change the f*cking plan, I'll go after you and your family." Do you remember that?
J: [while swalling a drink] Mmm-hmm.
R: Do you remember saying that?
J: Yeah, I do.
[pause]
J: But who broke the plan first? We had a Final 4 deal, not Final 2 deals on the side, so who broke the plan first?
R: That's not what you said. You said--
J: You're answering questions like -- when you and Michelle, when I was asking you questions. I'm saying, "Who broke the deal first?"
R: No one broke the deal...
J: And I answered your question.
R: We said Final 4, right?
J: Yeah, Final 4.
R: That's it. That's all we said.
J: And you and Michelle have a Final 2 deal, so that's breaking the Final 4 deal.
R: That doesn't matter. No, it doesn't break the Final 4 deal--
J: How are you're looking -- you're jumping the gun, man.
R: It doesn't break the Final 4 deal because the Final 4 is before the Final 2. So it doesn't matter. I could have told them the sky was f*cking pink. If I wanted it to be pink, it could be pink. What I told you may have been different than what I told someone else. So how do you know what I said to you wasn't true? That's what I'm saying?
J: I do know!
R: You probably said sh*t to everyone else in this house... right? Exactly!
J: Sh*t about what?
R: I could say anything to anyone, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter at all.
J: Apparently it does, because I just used the veto and obviously it does matter because you were saying sh*t and I just caught you.
R: No, no. I said we would do the Final 4 and then came back and you sat here- you sat right there and you said, "If one of you go against it, I'll come after you and your family." Let me tell you this, right now. If you don't f*cking win this game, you better hope to God you don't come to that f*cking Jury House. 'Cause I will mop your face all up and down the ground and I f*cking meant it.
J: [laughs]
R: I'm just sayin' that because don't ever threaten me. And don't ever threaten my family...
J: Honestly, I will lose five hundred thousand dollars and bust you in the mouth right now if you talk to me like that again. okay?
And that's where the explosion of F-bombs is set off with threats of neck-stabbing and security and what-not. But, I think people missed this beginning, and totally important revelation from Russell. His word is crap, and he knows it. If he tells you the sky is pink... then the sky better stay pink in your eyes, even though he's telling your neighbor it's blue and another neighbor that it's purple.
It's funny to watch him.
I suppose it's like a used car salesman who says, "I'm a crook and I will tell you anything to sell this car..which by the say has really low mileage, only one owner and was really well cared for and if you don't buy it, you're an idiot."
Jeff Wins HoH Competition
Jeff won the HoH competition, he got 24 cans down those tubes before the hour was up. Haves and Have-Nots were also decided during the competition, Michele and Russell are Have-Nots.
Lydia's Eviction
Julie's looking good in green tonight! The show starts with instant replays of the Cootie Taw, power shift and Chima's expulsion. It's so funny watching those three girliez cry about Jessie's eviction, it's like he died or something. As we all know, Chima tossed her microphone and was marched straight out the door. New HoH comp and Jordo wins! Lydia flips out! Kevin looks confused! Nominations were a no-brainer for Jordo, which is a very good thing because brains are not her speciality.
Flash shot of Lydia as Captain Uniturd and Roll Credits!
Joolz welcomes us back to the studio, and guess what boyz and girlz, with Chima gone there won't be a double eviction tonight, boo hoo. Lydia and gNat are on the block and one of them might be going home after tonight's live Veto competition and meeting. Roll the flashbacks! Lydia is Not Happy about being nominated a fourth time. gNat is playing a much tougher game and will do whatever it takes to stay. Michele wants gNat out and Jeff doesn't care who goes, as long as it's from the other side. Jordo tells gNat she's safe, the eviction target this week is Lydia.
Lydia is sooo Not OK. Kevin tries to get her to be more positive and go for the veto. Kevin's bummed because Lydia won't listen to him and she's alienating everyone else in the house. Kevin thinks that if he wins the veto he'll use it on gNat because she's a much better player.
Russell and Michele talk in the pool room, he tells her that it's time to take out Jeff as soon as they can. Cut to the red bedroom where gNat asks Lydia how many times she hooked up with Jessie. We're gonna get the whole story, including some videos shot in the HoH Tent lmao. The girls conclude that Jessie is a total jerk, and they're going to work together now, which will be hard because they're both on the block.
It's time for the Big Lie! Kevin cooks up a lie to make Jeff & Jordan believe that Russell is coming after them. However, as we now know, it's not really a lie, Russell already told Michele that he's planning to backstab Jeff and Jordan. Kevin tells Jeff that Russell wants to evict Jeff next week. Jeff tells Kevin that they may change their plans and decide to backdoor Russell this week. Kevin thinks Jeff would be an idiot if he evicts Russell. Next up is a loop of mind-changing, second-guessing, and general confusion for Jeff and Jordan in the HoH room.
Julie takes us into the house where Jeff says he's still glad he used the Cootie Taw. Kevin feels guilty about Chima leaving because he felt he could have done more to talk her down and get her to play the game. Lydia is asked what she thinks about Jessie now, and she's no longer missing Jessie at all. In fact she says that if she goes to the Jury house, he's going to have one very angry woman on his hands. Jordo's favorite thing about being HoH is getting to take a bubble bath every night.
Joolz tells them it's veto time, Butt First ... roll a commercial block. >>>
Chima Fired By Producers
The official CBS press release announcing that Chima was fired:
"Chima has been evicted by the producers from the Big Brother house for violating the rules. She will not be part of the show's jury. Her eviction will be addressed on an upcoming broadcast of the show."
Chima Gone
At 12:56 AM this morning, Pacific time, the Big Brother feeds went to FISH. We had been watching Jeff, Jordan, Michele and Russell practice the putt-putt golf game that was built in the backyard on Friday afternoon. The feeds stayed off for a little over 90 minutes, resuming at 2:41 AM. At that point we see Lydia and Natalie sitting in the hot tub, and Russell in the storage room. Lydia and Natalie are expressing shock about something, and when they mention production the feeds go to FISH again.
When the feeds resume a minute later, Jordan is talking to Russell in the kitchen and tells him that at first she thought he was an azzhole. But he doesn't scare her except when he's really mad. Russell finishes making guacamole, then Michele and Jeff come into the kitchen and they all sit around eating munchies. The four of them look happy and relaxed. We get a glimpse of Chima's picture on the wall at about 2:47 AM, but it's impossible to tell whether it's in color or grayed out.
At 2:50 AM Jeff wonders what's going to happen next and Russell says they'll probably try to make it fun and get back on track. Jordan says she doesn't expect any eviction this week. Jeff says he hopes they let Michele put another person on the block, play the veto, and have a regular eviction this week. This is the first clue that we get that someone is missing. Then Jeff mentions Natalie, Lydia and Kevin, and it's clear that Chima is no longer in the Big Brother House.
Jessie's Eviction
It's party time, we're waiting for the taped "live" show to start! Will Joolz be wearing that black & white polka dot dress? If she is, that means the inside scoop we were given in chat earlier this afternoon by "whatabun" is true! If you're asking "what scoop?" you weren't at BB Chatter today!
Yes indeed it's true! Julie's looking uberkewl tonight in black & white polka dots! After a couple of flashbacks she tells us that the true power is in Jeff's hands. Tonight's his last chance to use the Cootie Taw Wizard power and the only people safe are Chima and Kevin.
More flashbacks to Kevin not using the veto: Lydia looks ready to shred him! In the Diary Room she calls the move Totally Bogus and says it's NOT OK. Chima's all smiles, but that's because she's stooooopid, even though she's on the brains team she clearly has none when it comes to playing this game. Russell lobbies for votes, a total waste of time because the only thing that could save him is Wizard Jeff. Jessie is nervousing, and he sure should be, because America wants him OUT again. It's hilarious watching him twist in the wind.
By show time all the houseguests have figured out that Jeff has the power. Natalie says she and Jessie are going to suck up bigtime to both Jeff and Jordan. Guess what suckka, it isn't going to work!
Jessie thinks Russell should go home, and he's going after him this week. Russell continues to work both sides of the house by going to Michele next, asking for her vote. She's not having any, Russell's never been anything but rude and mean to her. It sure makes Jessie nervous though, he was evicted by America once before and he can feel it coming his way again.
Chima has orchestrated Russell's demise, and is looking forward to dancing on his BB grave. But you know what Chima, you really ought to think before you speak. Jeff has the power this week, not you, and you should know he's going to use it.
Julie pimps the Right Back with a teaser "Anything Can Happen." >>>

- Cootie Taw winner can replace both nominees.
- Neither the HoH nor the Veto competition winner can be nominated.
- HoH does not vote.
- Cootie Taw winner does not vote.
- Cootie Taw winner breaks the tie, if there is one.
