Oh man, here we go again.



So Season Four [The Ex-Factor], I totally got in to Big Brother[USA]. And as I read this, I have mixed emotions this year. Last year was intense. I don't think I have ever hated someone on television as much as I did Ivette, Crappy, Maggie and April. As the show unfurled, we witnessed some pretty heinous and childish behavior from these four.

The show was like crack. You had to watch it, but you felt strung out and icky afterwards. So with the announcement that America is going to be allowed to pick six of the houseguests, I get full of a sense of dread.

I am hoping that Ivette, Crappy, April, and Maggie do not get in the house. I can't stand to see Scott, or Jase, from season 5 back in the house, either. Their egos made them come across as pompous asses.

Funny side note: during that season, Scott and Jase, and ick, The Four Horsemen, would talk about how popular and famous they were going to be once they got out. They would immediately be pursued by Hollywood to be in films and commercials. If they could just make it through the show, America would be throwing themselves at them.


Well, it's two years later, and Jase supposedly went back to Decatur immediately after the show. And as for Scott, even though he had previously appeared in Playgirl, the only thing I saw him do after the show was compete on this season's Surreal Life for a chance to live in the house.

He was promptly voted out of the running, after he stripped to his skivvies [yellow bikinis....grody], and turned to reveal skid marks. For those of us who read updates, and watched the feeds, we all knew of Scott's lack of hygiene. He wouldn't use toilet paper in the Big Bro house; instead used his hand, and rarely washed afterwords. Sick. I know. So Surreal Lifers, consider yourselves lucky.


The only people I would like to see go back in the house are Nakomis [she was the most talented player coming up with the Five Finger Plan to get Jase out of the house], Marcellus [he probably knows the most about the game after playing and hosting a talk show on it], Kaysar and Janelle [they played the game the smartest, and most ethically of the whole bunch last season].

Jun from season 4 would make an interesting addition to the house. While she is not necessarily ethical, she's not mean spirited either. Plus she's pretty smart at playing the game.


So I am torn between getting caught up in it again this year. I was heartbroken when Maggie and Ivette made it to the end. I didn't even watch the finale because of them two. It's sad that I am such a geek, and get so emotionally involved in this stupid show; but I do. We'll have to see who the cast is.

This diatribe inspired by this post:

Only six of the 12 all-star Big Brother cast will be chosen by viewers to ensure a good vs. evil "showdown"

'Excellent news: We don't have to wait until July 6 to experience the joy that is Julie Chen hosting Big Brother. That's because she'll reappear in prime time for a one-hour special on June 21 at 8 p.m. to reveal the 20 candidates for Big Brother 7: All-Stars.

How exactly Julie Chen will fill an entire hour all by herself isn't clear, but there will probably be clips involved, and perhaps live appearances by the 20 candidates. After the show, according to CBS.com, voting begins, and will stay open for one week, until 11:59 p.m. ET/8:59 p.m. PT on Wednesday, June 28. We'll be able to vote online.'
