I'd say that was pretty much the worst-case scenario: the summer of posers just got replaced by the summer of posing...

Brian? Was screwed from the start, so at least he should have been used to it. Tie him in to the Brains team in a physical contest designed to induce flashbacks in all prior victims? Sure, he was getting in, just as soon as he found where they'd hidden the grappling hook. Jessica had some chance to enter, but not much of one -- and she also had something in common with Brian: in the end, I think we could have lived with either one being back in the cage. Brian's entertaining and Jessica's tolerable: both qualities are rare in hamsters.

Cowboy... now that was a moment worthy of a full cringe. We just barely dodged that bullet during B.B.A.Stards and while the loaded gun had a total misfire this time around too, there was that faint chance the bullet would land in Julie's foot, where she would promptly ignore it for the next three months. You just know he would have been carried along to the end, don't you? Learn from previous experience? Come in with a strategy? The man couldn't even be bothered to switch hats. Brought in tow as an F2 pasty for a second time as he spent a second summer in hero worship of people who forgot his name by wake-up call each morning.

But that's still better than what we got.

Jessie. Oh, gawds, Jessie. Remember Jessie's conversational pattern? It's not that hard to bring back: there was only one. He loved him some him, and he spread that love all over himself with every breath he took, which he also happened to love because his was an all-encompassing love that covered everything there was -- as long as the only thing in existence was his own self-perceived perfect self.

Oh, and then there's the personality. He's a manly man who's into manly things and all those who do not fit his standards of manliness must go, which quite possibly includes the women because they can't be as perfect as he is. On the other hand, his IQ got squeezed out of his brain by that last round of muscle-building temple clenches, so he combines that trait with the ability to be fooled by whoever spoke to him last with whatever story they could sell, but they'd better be ready to sell it twenty times an hour because as soon as Jessie starts counting off his reps, everything he learned in the past week goes bye-bye.

He expects worship. He demands tribute. There's a good chance he can't spell either one.

it's gonna get bad and it's gonna get worse

I have a feeling this season of Big Brother will be nicknamed Men built like trees. I say this because when they aren't competing the three men in the althlete clique will be in permanently flexing All I have to say is give it up because you won't impress any of the ladies unless of course they're working you to keep them safe from the vote.

I don't think you're the only one who didn't want Jesse to return. I didn't either. Hopefully the Brains and the Outcasts will get together and get rid of him asap!

great. His muscle mass is directly proportional to his insecurity mass. Maybe one of his guns will go off and blow his gnat sized brain out. Maybe he will sleep through this season too.

Really I think his own click will want him out after a few days of his sparkling personality, besides when the DAWs realize he's stealing their thunder it will over for that little muscle-bound moron.

Coolest Siggie Ever thx Tribe! 2008

Even if he wasn't annoying and thunder-stealing I think the "he had his chance" resentment will raise its ugly head in short order.

I haven't watched this show in several seasons. I tried this time, but when that horrifying creature was sent into the house, I decided to call it a summer. And I didn't even see its season the last time. I just hope it has the decency to kill only itself whenever it finally blows up in an explosion of 'roid rage.

Get back here, ya wimp.

Jessie said if you keep watching, he'll autograph his chess strategy book for you.

Only if he promises to autograph my original cast recording of Chess as well (while singing "One Night in Bangkok).

One thing ya gotta give Jessie, is his taste on casual pant wear.

Tight enough to show off his leg muscles and atrophied man bits, and loud enough to stun even Marcellas.

(And we all know now why he ain't buying what Laura's selling).

(And we all know now why he ain't buying what Laura's selling).

Frankly, that's the only thing he's said/done that I actually approved of - although he quickly wasted that brief moment when he turned around and let Russell pull his strings the way Russell wanted them to go. Sheez. This guy's going to need an oxygen tank to get some air to his brain!

However, in the scheme of things, it's now looking like Russell's going to be more of a problem than Jessie because, unlike Jessie, Russell seems to have something going on upstairs. Unfortunately, it's not a very nice something, as witnessed by his attack on poor Jeff. Oh well. Maybe we'll get lucky and Jessie and Russell will turn on each other, resulting in a good old fashioned wrestling match that will at least be entertaining to watch.

At least he was smart enough to catch onto Ronnie's double dealing. I'm sure when he used the POV on Lydia he expected Jesse to put up Ronnie, which didn't happen.
As far as Jeff is concerned,the other athletes have a right to worry. He threw the POV competition and is spending all his time mooning over Jordan. So he's playing a dangerous game, it's one thing to get the others to like you, just don't alienate your own clique.

PS:I wonder if Jeff can spell alienate let alone understand it's meaning

As much a musclehead as Russell is, I agree that it is somewhat impressive he was able to sense a change in Branden's disposition and sniff out Ronnie as the "double-agent."

But no way could he consider putting up Ronnie this week. As much as he distrusts Ronnie, the athletes need the extra numbers the Brain clique can provide. Cutting Jeff loose and with Jessie unable to compete in the next HOH competition, if he loses the Brains his survival next week would depend on either sCRAPPY or himself winning HOH.

Actually I don't consider Jeff's play "dangerous" at all (at least not in the immediate future.) If anyone in his voting bloc wins HOH, he's safe. Even if Russell or sCRAPPY wins HOH, he's still safe by the rules of the game. The only risk Jeff faces is a non-athlete in Russell's alliance (probably one of the Brains) winning HOH and putting him up because Russell tells them to. Otherwise, I think he's in pretty good position for at least another week.

Forget about the mystery of who he'll nominate while struggling through his own web of too many alliances: I'm just waiting for the whole Lydia-Natalie issue to blow up in his face. (Of course, Lydia's interest is subject to Lydia's needs of the moment. Natalie may need a restraining order.)

I did enjoy his nomination speech after the keys were pulled.

"I've nominated you Mechelle, and you Jordan." /endspeech. Unsaid: Deal with it.

No false platitudes about how great players they are. No BS about alliances or events. Just a statement of the obvious and leaving any hints of a reason untold.

Fear the reaper.
