And It Has Begun...

So towards the end of last week it happened - I became Big Brother 8 obsessed. There comes a turning point every season - except for the Janelle/Kaysar season, which oddly I didn't get into at all (yet for many fans it's their fave; go figure) - when I jump headlong into the boards where the live-feed watchers tell all that happening and I become fixated on every minute detail of the game. It was last week's damned Head of Household competition that ran over the alloted airtime, leaving us hanging as to who would win... they expected me to wait until Sunday to see who won HOH? Are they bonkers?

Anyway, there's no turning back now. I'm checking the BB chat-sites every fifteen minutes to see what new info reveals itself. Blasted semi-in-real-time game; the twists and turns of opinion are happening right this second and it's difficult, once you work that out, to escape its clutches.

I'm wondering if I have a point now. Besides to say that when I'm not frittering away time posting here I'm engulfed in Big Brother every second. And this may begin to affect my posting; i.e. we might start to see more BB posts over the next few weeks.

And since MNPP might begin to air our overheated BB opinions, let us reveal where we stand...

Dick is the essence of all I hate in the world and if I could press a button that made his face melt off I would push it right now without a second thought. His daughter Danielle is nearly as wretched; just because somebody once bought you a plastic tiara doesn't make you Princess Grace, so go eat some protein and stop screeching in my ears. Eric is an asshole. Dustin is an asshole. Amber is unbearable. Zach is a moron. If Jameka pulled her head out of her ass she could be okay, but I think she's too busy looking for where she put her Bible. Jessica... that voice, I can't get beyond that voice. Kail isn't even worth mentioning. And Jen... Jen is great.

I didn't know what to think of Jen at first, and I'm still convinced she's semi-psychotic, but she's become so much less disagreeable to me than every single person in the house that if she gets voted out I might stop watching because I can't even stand to look at or listen to half of the other people there. Jen became gold to me because of the way she drives Dick insane. She knows enough to realize that she's known these fools for, what, a month? And they are not her friends. And her life outside of the house is waiting for her, and she's just trying to have fun. Everyone behaves as if to vote someone out you have sliced their neck from ear to ear, and Jen is so refreshingly careless while everyone else freaks out every single second that it has made me love her.
