Nearing the End

It's so depressing to have Howie leave the Big Brother house. I tried to think of some creative questions that would get past the CBS censors and provoke some sort of genuine response for a change. Beau's interview was crap; he skipped over his own hypocrisy and gave me snippy answers because he caught on to my disapproving vibe. I think Beau is one of the hamsters who thought that what happened in HOH, stayed in HOH. Wrong! The cameras were watching when Beau purposely flashed his teammates in the shower. Gah! I wish I hadn't been watching that night.


I've been in situations before where people band together against a common enemy. I've been in sticky roommate situations; I've lived in coed dorms and in student groups abroad. I have never, ever seen a group of people descend into such vile trash talk as this year's "Friendship." Not only do they tear down everyone in the house not on their team, the instant one of them leaves the room for a bottle of water they get their jabs in at their own teammate. They trust each other so little that they sleep together in a group every night, even if it means sleeping on the floor when there are a dozen beds to choose from. Deep down, each one knows they are untrustworthy...so they take no chances with letting one of their own be alone too long with the enemy.

I can't figure how they can stand each other. As bad as they are now, they were worse in the beginning, when Kaysar was the subject of their constant hatred. At least with Janelle, they hate her for ridiculous reasons like the fact that she's put on a few pounds and still looks like a drop-dead gorgeous leggy blonde. When Kaysar was still around, they mocked his religion. April flat-out told the others the praying was an act so that Kaysar could get more screen time - which is a perfect example of projecting her own inner motives onto someone else.

Ivette is confrontational, so she told Kaysar to his face that he didn't belong in the BB house because he is religious. It floors me that someone in this country can espouse that type of discriminatory views one moment and insist that Kaysar doesn't respect women the next. We never got an explanation as to how Ivette came up with her theory that Kaysar disrespects women, but that was the one statement that really seemed to get under his skin. Rational, respectable people don't like being told they are sexist bigots, Ivette. Meanwhile, what gives a lesbian holding a Catholic rosary the right to say someone else doesn't belong in the game because they respect their religion more than she respects her own? It's an argument so irrational and offensive it defies understanding. I can't wait to call her out on this when she's evicted - hopefully this week!
