To be fair, Shane's done a little of it to himself -- on the game level. Britney in particular is freaked out over the seeming fact that Shane can't keep his mouth shut: he blabs ideas, suggestions, and unnecessary details all over the place, possibly just to get a conversation in.

(BTW, as a house flipper, he very much svcks. He told Brittany he's making $26k a year right now: deliveries and personal training for one client, frequently with seven-day work weeks involved. He seemed amazed that she makes more than that. Oh, and he signed Power Of Attorney over to his house flipping partner, so let's hope he's better at reading people outside the cage than in.)

So what's the latest result from Shane's loose-but-never-kissing lips? He told Joe some things. Possibly just about everything. To the point where Britney & Danielle are now wondering if there's any way to get rid of Joe today, because Joe has even less sense of confidentiality than Shane and will shout every last detail to the HoH Of The Week. What an exciting prospect for both of them. And it's going to be both of them for a while now, because all of Britney's babysitting seems to have led into Danielle attaching herself to a new partner.

Where's Dan in all this? Currently walking down Memory Lane with Malin: he can get Danielle back later with a sentence and a little mist. Irish for preference. Dan and Malin are beginning to recognize that they're each other's best shot against the 'But that one already won' argument. Fear.

So we're at the point where everyone realizes the only thing Shane can do is competitions -- and not all of them. For the social game, he may be more of a horror show than Rachel: maybe he's not running around making enemies every three seconds, but forming too many friends isn't exactly the workable opposite. He's reached a level where Malin wants to keep him around for a little while just to get the heat off whoever he's with for the next two seconds -- how low do you have to go for that? Shane's a disaster area. Imagine how well he would have done on the show he actually went out for.

...yeah, probably would have won.

BTW, we also got this from the lead audio rat:

"I recognize that English can be a difficult language to comprehend, but stop still means stop. Please. Stop. Singing."

Y'know, if he hadn't used 'comprehend', he wouldn't have lost half of them.
