What a relief it was to see this episode start off completely confronting the HoH Competition issues. It was obvious they were going to redo the competition, and never in my life have I been happier to see the title taken away from somebody. And honestly, even if it was taken away from say, Janelle or Howie, I absolutely would have been disappointed that they'd have to compete again, but it's still the fairest thing to do. Even Erika said it: "I would want it to be fair." A bit of foreshadowing, no? Anyway, to see Janelle go from about-to-be-nominated to head-of-household? It was like
so perfect. She is dominating, and even though I got a little bit mad (OK, I threw a few temper tantrums) that week she lied to S6, I'm back to loving her again. How can't you, though? And I don't understand how people can be surprised at her and Howie celebrating after her win. What the hell do you expect? She can't compete in veto, and she just made a complete 180 in power. Let the girl celebrate, for the love of Pete. It's funny how Erika is totally fine with the HoH redo beforehand, but when Janelle wins, it suddenly "isn't fair." Are you not the one that said it was only fair? Oh, right, I guess it's fair when there's still a possibility that you're safe. Forgive me.
OK, James is hilarious. I really do not like him, and I hate what he's doing to Janelle and Howie, but it actually is kind of funny how oblivious the two of them are. I mean, what can you do about it? If they haven't caught on yet, it's really their own fault. And can you blame James for being amused by it? It's funny! Especially when he told them he guessed "pulling the wool over your eyes," and they had no idea what in the hell he was talking about. C'mon, I'm pretty cut off from the world when it comes to little sayings like that, but even I knew what it meant. And it was just so ironic that James is doing precisely that to them. I guess ignorance is bliss. And how about that water fight? How easy is Janelle? Will is playing her so hard, and she has no idea. She needs to get a grip on reality and stop this shameless flirting. I feel so bad for Howie. He must be wondering if he has anyone in that house.
So, the food competition was probably the best competition in the history of Big Brother. Why, you ask? Because JUN was there!!! I was really starting to miss her, and it was really getting to me, so this was a timely event. And it was a joy to see Marvin, as well. I missed his husky voice. If only he was smoking a cigar... It was also a really unique competition, so I liked it alot. I was amazed at how the houseguests put together 7 meals in an hour. And with slop! I thought it all looked delicious, but I'm sure it mostly tasted like crap. I actually really wanted to try the cupcakes. And the Slop Crisp looked yummy, too! Haha. I'm sure Danielle deserved an 8 on her Slop Cakes. She deep fried slop? That idea sounds disgusting. But I'm happy the HGs won their grill for the Slaffles (which looked scrumptious), and I'm sure they'll be having barbeques on a daily basis (or will they?).
So, Janelle nominated: Danielle and Erika. I'm glad she didn't let Chilltown or James convince her to put up Marcellas. Yes, he hates her, but he sucks. I'm pretty sure nobody respects him, and has he won a competition yet? He's worth nothing more than a vote, and someone can get rid of him later. I was actually impressed by Danielle's statement: "There's no use in talking to Janelle before nominations. I threw the first punch." It's good to know there's some people in the house that can actually take a nomination and understand why they've been nominated. Unlike Erika. Quote of the Day: "Well, I thought Janelle had a really interesting speech. You know, I think it's fascinating she despises my gameplay as a "floater." I think she'll be shocked to find out that I'm just a simple girl from a small town called Chill." -Erika. OK, 1) Why did she put quotations around floater? Is she somehow convinced that she isn't? Because, Erika, please tell me, if you aren't a floater, what alliance do you belong to? 2) What's with all of the tenses and sarcasm? Were you not going to put Janelle up if you were HoH? So how can you be surprised she put you up? Deal with it. It's a game. I thought you just wanted to go home and "hang out with your mom and dogs?" Not anymore? And finally, 3) If she was somehow implying that she is part of the Chilltown alliance, she made no sense with her statement at the end. Obviously the clip at the end of the episode is some sort of clue. I know there are a million internet rumors swirling around that Erika and Boogie have been dating for a long time before the show. And apparently Will announced to the Live Feed viewers that they are going to get engaged by the end of the summer. Somehow, I think Will may just be trying to f*** with our minds, but who knows? According to ex-boyfriend, Josh Souza, Erika and he broke up long before BB7, contradicting her statement that they broke up weeks before the show. Could this be some sort of twist? Are Erika and Mike's relationship some sort of "team" twist, like last year? We'll just have to wait and see.
