About half as sad as the casting, plotting, twists, and excuse-making ability of the host. (Individually, not combined. Yet.) I wouldn't look forward to a Reign Of Loud, though: it's one thing to follow the feeds and another to listen in on HoH conversations from the opposite coast.

'Twenty-four hours of Janelle bashing' pretty much does sum it all up, especially since I'm convinced some of them kept talking in their sleep. All I've got beyond that is Danielle having been promised a kiss from Shane for putting Janelle up, which she has not gotten -- and Shane telling Danielle that he's a virgin. Which may be a lie. Also that he's a dork. Which has a good chance to be true. He then went on to say that 'dork' actually means 'whale penis', so that's what she should call him from now on. I don't feel like finding out if she cooperated. (The word has been used that way, but it's much common for it to indicate male genitalia in general rather than species-specific. Fair enough -- Shane gets to be a dork either way.)

Janelle picked up Britney. Everyone else is doing it.

We also had Malin admit that he's known one of the producers for eleven years and considers him to be a mentor. Again, on the feeds, no censoring. Unbelievable.

They got a basketball hoop for the pool. Malin broke it within two minutes. Don't worry: his producer buddy will make sure he never gets the bill.

And Britney slowed down from her endless campaign of both helping Danielle find a way to give Janelle the death penalty for her sinful existence (which has to be exhausting, especially added to her relationship counseling with Shane & Danielle for a relationship that does not and likely will never exist) and repeatedly breaking her vow not to be mean and catty this year in order to deliver her part in the following:

Big Brother: "Hello houseguests, it's going to be hot out there today - don't forget your sunscreen."
Britney: "Now you try to make up with us? It's too late."

So sayeth the viewership. Except for, y'know, the total lack of makeup attempts.

Janelle feels Danielle may be just a little bit insecure. Have there been any hints?
