I’ve been trying to hold off on talking about the ending of Big Brother 8 but figured that enough time has passed (about a week) that people have forgotten about him already.
Well I have to say that out of the 2 left I’m glad to see that Dick won. I figured 1 of 2 things would happen. Everyone would give Danielle the win because Dick was, well a dick or Dick would win because no one liked Danielle’s whining backstabbing ways. When it came down to it Dick played a better game and that’s what this was all about. Dick was himself. He didn’t need friends (thought having his daughter helped). Of the 3 remaining I wanted to see Zach because I was tired of Dick’s little crackbaby romps around the house when in fact Zack could snap him like a twig. Oh well, Julie Chen has to go back to a real job I guess doing whatever it is she does on CBS.
Apparently there is a myspace page for him but who knows what’s real on that abortion of a site. Evel Dick’s MySpace Page. What I think is even funnier is that Danielle’s reported page isn’t linked in the friends section.
Either way the season is over. No more Amber crying. No more of Jen sucking the intelligence out of this country. No more Danielle of Danielle’s nice bod but guuuuuyyyyys coome ooonnnn voice. No more Eric screwing around with everyone and for the love of God no more Dick.
The last 3 shows I’ve followed have shown a serious issue that I’ve brought up in the past.
- Hell’s Kitchen
- The Next Food Network Star
- Big Brother 8
It’s too the point where these are almost unwatchable and I’ll tell you why.
1) Hell’s Kitchen – Besides this show being an absolute joke and insult to anyone in the culinary profession, Chef Ramsay is someone who yells because he’s an aggressive jerk who feeds off of fear. That’s what sells this show though, not his cooking skills. I don’t care what his reputation is, he has never showed his skills.
The Crying Factor – Aaron spent every episode he was on crying because of the pressure. Because no one was there to give him a hug or say it would be alright. Bonnie’s feelings are hurt every show because, well she flat out sucks at cooking for more than 2 people and can’t take criticism. You want to run a restaurant from this show you shouldn’t still be “learning”.
2) The Next Food Network Star – My buddy Phil has a great rant about this (and Hell’s Kitchen) in his latest Episode of My Life as a Foodie. Food Network has jumped the shark. Now I can’t pinpoint when exactly but this show is a perfect example of “Know when to say when”. I will give credit to Alton Brown and Bobby Flay for visibly showing their irritation at every screwup and not being afraid to call people out.
The Crying Factor – Each week someone was brought to tears. Even the manly men of Michael and hot tempered JAG had a cry fest while the Amy had a complete breakdown and said she was quitting multiple times. Finally quitting she decided to stay 15 seconds after quitting and ends up winning because JAG lied about his background. Ah the power of the internet. If Rory would have won I’d have to ask my cable company to block it from my box.
3) Big Brother 8 - 11 people picked to live in a house for the summer… yada yada yada. If someone doesn’t get rid of Jen I don’t think I’ll be able to handle another week of this show. She is by far the dumbest human being ever to be on television and is a prime example of why we should worry as a society because I know plenty of others just like her. Watch one episode and you’ll see why the JENsa member needs to be put out to pasture. While we’re at it, take like, oh mah gawd! Jessica with you. This house is a good collection/representation of the social issues people have today.
The Crying Factor – I’m afraid to see how Amber handles her children. She cries over EVERYTHING. She was nominated… she cried because Kail should have that bond of being a mother with her. She cries because someone else is upset. She cries because the sky is blue. She cries because of SLOP. She cries because she can’t do anything else. There can be a whole hour long show to her crying! There’s that much material and I’m sure more on the cutting room floor. Danielle, you’re attractive I guess but after the last few shows your boyfriend will either leave you (or has left) or will stay (because you’re still eye candy) and not care what Nick guy does. I can see why she’s an emotional wreck from bringing this on herself.
My wife and I are sucked into Big Brother every summer. She enjoys the soap opera aspect of it while I love the fan interaction and use of the web to get you involved. Last night kicked off the 8th season along with 2 new twists. You have America’s Player who will do whatever the fans vote him to do and 3 people were kept hidden to start the show. These 3 are adversaries of 3 other house mates. Now for the first impressions…
The Dustin and Joe Drama Hour – These 2 will go down as the most flamboyant and annoying (ex) couple ever. It’s like watching 2 catty women fight. These 2 are going to get old REAL quick. I’d like the ability to vote both off right now.
Daniele is the ghost of Anna Nichole Smith (before she died, not the size of a house). I’ll admit that she’s pretty smokin but from the first show she doesn’t seem like a very quick person. She has some characteristics of people I used to know which drives me nuts. The whole clueless stoner thing. She could prove me wrong though. She’s one of the 3 in the twist, her father whom she broke ties with 2 years ago is in the house. It’s Dick, the poor man’s Tommy Lee.
Carol vs Jessica – I havent seen enough of Carol yet but Jessica annoys the shit out of me. She is the typical cheerleader stereotype. Arrogant and squeaky voice wrapped up in a valley girl.
Jen – kinda hot if i was REALLY drunk but friggin stupid.
Amber, Jameka and Kail round out the women. They didn’t say much so the verdict is still out on them. For the guys you have Eric, Mike, Nick and Zach. As of now they are all in awe that they’re on TV so we haven’t really seen anyone step up. Eric seems like he was the class clown and life of a party. That’s probably why he’s America’s Player.
Still too early to see how the summer will go but if some of these people don’t go soon I’ll have to shoot my TV. Before we move of course
