Big Brother 16 Week 9 Thoughts

Well that was very upsetting.  No, not the usual hysterics of the houseguests when they see their families, but things got a little dusty when Donny was evicted from the Big Brother house.  He was crying, he said that the rest of the houseguests "hurt his heart" he revealed that he had to quit his job in order to come on the show.  Donny is one of the most genuine, sweetest people that have ever been on any TV show, let alone Big Brother.  He was an outcast right from the jump, he is older than everyone else, and unlike the rest of these areseholes he is actually a decent person.  7 times on the block is pretty rough, and unfortunately it was just a matter of time before he went home.  The picture above was the moment when Julie Chen told him that he was going to be a guest star on the Bold and the Beautiful, look how happy he looks!! I really hope that he gets his old job back, or better yet gets something better than being Groundskeeper Willie.  Fuck Frankie and Derrick for using shitty Team America against him, my feelings for Team America are well known but I hate that poor Donny tried his hardest for them and was hoping that they would save him in the end.  Frankie is such a little weasel for saying that he "tried so hard" to save him, go fuck yourself bud.  If he actually tried to save Donny and not put on that shitty skit, Donny would be safe and he would've been $5K richer.  By the way, mad props to my beloved Julie Chen for telling that turd Frankie that he got an OVERWHELMING NO! I am glad it was him who found out that America hated his ridiculous skit.  Speaking of Frankie...

I thought this was pretty funny, I was texting my sister the other night during the show and I was about to say I hate Frankie, I typed in "I hate" and my phone automatically suggested I put in Frankie (or Devin!! hahaha) It's pretty hilarious that I have texted that I hate Frankie so much that my phone auto-fills it for me (Devin the Ninja Turtle too!) Frankie is one of my most hated houseguests ever.  Fuck he is the worst, I am so over his Diary Room attention whore antics, him announcing that HOH competition on Sunday was a million times worse than when Brendon hosted the HOH competition as a wizard on BB12 and he was over-acting the whole thing....

Frankie thinks he is all that and a bag of chips.  Get off my TV forever, I guarantee you Donny is going to get more acting gigs than you will once the show ends.  Does Frankie have any fans?? Everyone I talk to about the show and all the Big Brother types I follow on Twitter hate his guts... I think only 11 year old Arianna Grande fan girls make up the majority of his fan base.

Jesus Christ is there an uglier couple on planet earth than these two??  I know not everyone can be stunners like yours truly but YECCHH I certainly hope that they don't breed.  That segment with Christine's husband and family was very uncomfortable and went on a little too long.  Her husband seemed to take it all in good humour, but he is obviously hurt by the whole thing.  Christine's Mom was hilarious when she sided with the rest of us saying that she didn't want Christine to win!  I'm no prude by any stretch of the imagination but Cody and Christines non-stop cuddling is wrong, they both should be ashamed of themselves, especially Cody, he knows full well she is married and can end this whenever.  As much as I shit on houseguests on this blog they are real people at the end of the day (except Frankie) and hopefully they can sort out their issues after the show.

Other Random Thoughts

HOH Spoiler is at the end... Cody had a better chance of winning this competition than Victoria, and he isn't even playing.

Now that Donny is gone I really don't like anyone left.  Having no Zach and now no Donny is going to make for a boring final month of Big Brother, the only thing I am wishing for now is a swift Frankie exit.

Derrick is a good player but he talks with his hands too much, it's getting pretty annoying.

The "Temptation" for them during the HOH competition was pretty fucking stupid if you ask me, you mean to tell me they are going to TRY to get a measly $5K and earn a punishment over getting HOH and safety? Not even Caleb is that stupid.  That "Holllaaaaaa" thing is less annoying that Frankie, however.

CBS is airing Thursday Night Football as of September 11th, and the finale is on Wednesday September 24th, so what the fuck is going to happen to Big Brother on Thursday the 11th and the 18th??  The football games start at 8:30, and there is always a pre-game show, so is Big Brother going to be moving to another night?  On an aside thank fuck NFL season is back, even though I am a Bills fan and they are on track for another dreadful season.

Double Eviction next week... these are tough to predict.  If Nicole wins this HOH then that will stir shit up, if it is anyone else it will be Nicole gone first, as these arseholes are unbelievably predictable.  I really hope Frankie is one of the houseguests gone, but I can see production saving him again.  I saw a pretty funny tweet about Frankie, and I wish I saved it, it was from the hilarious @MissCleoBB (who I have got pictures from many times for this blog).  He said "even though I am a homo, Frankie makes me homophobic"  that sums it up pretty perfectly there!

Dork Mode Nerd Boy won the HOH competition.  Yawn.  Surprisingly Derrick ended up taking the $5K so now there is going to be 5000 Hollas now too?  I think Derrick made a mistake doing that, he may be getting a little cocky with all the power he has in the house, and he better watch out, because anything can happen, production might plant some seeds in their heads about getting him out.  That being said Nicole is going to be Caleb's target and she is donezo for sure on Thursday.

Big Brother 16 Week 8 Thoughts

Everyone's favourite bi-curious shit disturber Zach is out of the Big Brother house, and I think that is going to suck.  Like I have mentioned before I've been hot and cold on Zach all year... on one hand he is a cry baby who bursts into tears like a petulant child when things don't go his way (did you see him sulk after Kathy Griffin delivered that vicious zing above?), he has that whole weird homo-erotic relationship with Frankie... I don't care if you're gay, but really Frankie?  Frankie is vile, he could do a lot better than that.  All that being said he was the most entertaining house guest this season and things are going to be a little flat around the house without him.  Ultimately he got fucked over by stupid shitting puking fucking puke shit arsehole Team America and especially Frankie.  Zach deserves the money Team America gets (especially fucking Frankies cut) because he is the only reason their stupid missions were successes. Because he was such a trouble maker everyone easily blamed him for stealing all their shit which was a "final straw" for some allowing them to set the stage for his backdoor.  I have a feeling Frankie has been backdooring Zach all summer, so I guess it is only fitting that he was evicted that way.

Zach had the chance to get back in the house along with Jocasta, Hayden and Nicole, and I was really rooting for Zach to get back in because he would've caused a ruckus and it would have fucked over Frankie royally.  But it was all for not, as Nicole the Froot Loop Dingus with the most annoying voice in the world is back, meh.  The shocking thing is Jacosta was within a dick hair of winning... that would've sucked, where was your messiah there Mama J??  She would have been good for some sassy Diary Rooms but that's about it.  The competition itself was pretty lame to get them back in, it should've been an endurance competition, see who wanted it the most! Nicole is likely to go after Christine which is good, but I don't think she is going to be a threat to Derrick's eventual win.

Ugh, I really hate Christine, I hate her even more after the Battle of the Block competition where she purposely was throwing it to screw over Donny.  The whole Skittles thing and the whole throwing of competitions is a disgrace to the Big Brother game, and these idiots can't even get that right!  They should all be ashamed of themselves and good for Donny for fucking with their plans time after time, Donny is the best!

Other Random Thoughts

The HOH is determined...spoilers at the end and thank fuck the Double HOH twist is over!!

We all know Caleb is as dumb as a fucking post, but he actually thinks the Bomb Squad is still a thing and that he is the leader?

Zingbot is one of the highlights of the Big Brother season for me, I love insult comedy whether it be the Comedy Central Roasts or Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, I was a little upset at first that Zingbot was giving "props" but he came back with a vengeance!! The great thing about Zingbot is that it is the first chance that the houseguests get to hear what the outside world thinks of them.  Caleb found out that everyone thinks he is a stalker, Zach that he is gay, that Vicboria is useless etc.  It must get them thinking, especially how Caleb and Christine got zinged on all their extra curricular activities.   Kathy Griffin's zing on Zach was the best, however!  I wish they had Zingbot on BBCAN.

Cody is HOH... meh, so pretty much Derrick is HOH for the 8th week in a row.  As for who is he going to put up?? Probably Donny for the billionth time, maybe Nicole too because it is bullshit that she is back in the game... I'll say Nicole and Victoria and Donny gets backdoored :(

Big Brother 16 Week 7 Thoughts

The Fruit Loop Dingus is gone and the Big Brother producers got their stupid wet dream of having someone go from HOH to evicted the same week fulfilled, so can we finally end the STUPID double HOH twist??  Nicole got screwed over pretty badly this week, she had a pretty solid plan in place where Frankie was the target that the rest of the house and the entire world agreed upon but he managed to weasel his way out of.  I reluctantly have to give Frankie some credit for pulling off the Battle of the Block victory after Caleb refused to participate, but he's still annoying as fuck and I want him off my TV immediately.  Have you all noticed that during the Thursday episode whatever houseguest they focus on during the first part of the show is always the one eliminated?  They always make it seem that they are hashing out a plan and that they are safe....only to be unanimously booted 10 minutes later.  As we all know there is a chance that Nicole is going to be come back in the show, so we may not have seen (or unfortunately have heard) the last of the Fruit Loop Dingus.

I am so sick of Frankie, get the fuck out of here... and he is HOH again this week too, wonderful.  What the fuck is a social media mogul anyways??  He is a massive loser who is riding the coat tails of his flavour of the month pop-star sister.  I don't know why I did this but I sat through Ariana Grande's latest video and it was one of the most dreadful things I have watched in my entire life.  Zach had a little melt down over Frankie playing for children in Africa (I call bullshit on that btw) but I agree with Zach's sentiments there, all these players are playing for themselves and their families and could use the $500K but Frankie is trying to show them all up saying he is playing for starving Africans, and his family probably is sitting on a ton of money so he does not need it.  Frankie is a self-centered twat, he feels the need to be in the centre of absolutely everything and the sooner he is out of the house the better.

Other Random Thoughts:

Derrick and Frankie are the HOH's and I know their nominees... spoilers as usual at the end.

Christine sucks.  The live-feeders have been talking about her clinging and cuddling to Cody for weeks, and they touched on it on the episode last night.  Apparently her husband is pretty upset and has tweeted about how disappointed and hurt he is by her actions.  Well that should be fun for her when she gets home.

If Victoria had a brain the size of her nose she may have a chance to do something in this game.  Jesus Christ, she's as dumb as a post.  She thought her and Derrick was the only alliance in the game?  And she was in tears when she heard he was in another alliance?  Cripes all Friday get a fucking clue.  That being said I think she is going to pull a Slobrina from BBCAN2 and weasel her way late into the game, she has absolutely no chance of winning though.

I hate to admit this but Caleb has gotten a little more tolerable since Amber left and he isn't a massive creeper anymore.  Beast Mode Cowboy is still the most insufferable thing I have heard in my life, but I don't think he as bad as I once thought.... he is still stupid as fuck though.

I feel awful for Donny.  He is genuinely one of the most kind-hearted people to ever play this game... which unfortunately may not make him cut out for Big Brother.  He's constantly a target, and being 10 years older than the next closest house guest (and 15-20 years older than most of them!) makes him an outsider.  He's NEVER a part of any plans or discussions, and he genuinely does feel left out.  He's not going to win but at least he has his Team America (Fuck Yeah!) money and is definitely going to win the $25K as America's Favourite Player.

Speaking of shitty Team America is this still a thing?? I've missed watching it live the last few weeks and have been watching it online and they never mention having to vote for any challenges on the online version, but this week they said their mission failed... I didn't even know they had a mission??  That just goes to show what a total flop that twist was.

 

 

Frankie nominated Caleb and Cody, and Derrick nominated Christine and Donny.  The Battle of the Block hasn't happened yet, so it is tough to say who I think is going home, plus I just read who was nominated I don't know what the discussions were or any context.  Out of those 4 nominated I would like to see Christine gone, but if they can back door Frankie that would be brilliant! 

 

REVIEW: Memphis Fire BBQ Company

Today's review takes us way the fuck out to the middle of nowhere to the Memphis Fire BBQ Company in Winona, Ontario.  Although Winona is technically a part of the City of Hamilton it might as well be in Buttfuck, Idaho... that being said it's well worth the trip to the boonies to have some of the best BBQ you will ever taste.  This is the 7th place I have been to that has been featured on "You Gotta Eat Here", when they filmed at this location that nerd John Cattuchi sampled a bunch of their bizarre breakfast concoctions (coconut pineapple pancakes with a side of bratwurst sausage and beans, say whaaaaaat?) but since I tend to drag myself out of bed at the crack of noon every day there was no way I was going to make it there for breakfast, what they should have featured was their amazing dinner fare.

First up was our appetizer, a family sized portion of Ranch Fries which feature house made ranch sauce, and mountains of bacon crumble and cheese (plus some shitty green onions).  These fries were amazing, and holy shit did you get a big portion, I made the rookie mistake of loading up on these fries before my main course and laboured to finish most of my dinner.  I went with two buddies who share the same love of food that I do and we couldn't even finish it all.

This was my dinner, the Pulled Pork platter, the two sides are their famous smoked beans and macaroni and cheese.  You had the option of getting a Pulled Pork or Brisket Sandwich with one side, or a platter with two sides.  The pulled pork was fantastic, amongst the best that I have ever had, it would've been great on a sandwich with some of that slaw, but I wanted to maximize my sides.  The beans were amazing too, these were cooked in their smoker and had pieces of beef brisket mixed into it.  The mac and cheese on the other hand may have been the weak link of the meal, but mix some of the pork in with it and that kicks up the flavour exponentially.

The prices are pretty good, a beer, my meal and a 1/3rd of the fries plus taxes and tip only set me back about $30, which is pretty standard and I was stuffed beyond belief, I really needed a nap after eating all that food.  I even took some food home with me, I am a little embarrassed by that fact as I usually never have left-overs.  I had the meat sweats that night something awful, I have sweat more from meat in the last few years than from exercise that's for damn sure.  I will definitely be returning, they have Fried Chicken Night on Monday-Wednesday but I have a hard time believing that anything can be better than Popeye's.  I was THIS close to getting the ribs, as ribs are one of my favourite foods and the ribs are served Thursday-Sunday.  I think I will be getting the ribs next time I go.  It is well worth the drive to Winona!

REVIEW: Arby's Beef Dip

In the world of fast food, Arby's seems to be the forgotten middle child.  The most publicity they ever got was when David Puddy would always take Elaine to dinner there on Seinfeld.  Look at their stupid mascot, a sleepy eyed fucking oven mitt!  But, there is a damn good reason Puddy always went to Arby's, it is fucking delicious.  Last weekend I went to the Richardson cottage and it is their tradition to stop in picturesque (by picturesque there was one road with a shitty strip mall, a big LCBO and a bunch of fast food joints) Lindsay, Ontario to get some delicious Arby's.  On this trip I had their Beef Dip and it was fantastic.

There was a whole perfect storm of reasons why this meal was so good, first there was excitement and happiness anticipating a weekend of cottage life, second I was fucking STARVING... aaaaaand there may have been a little bit of an outside performance enhancing influence that kick started my taste buds.  I am a big fan of beef dips, I will often order them when I am at a pub, and this beef dip was just as good as any I have had in a normal restaurant.  The sandwich was delicious, it was on nice bread, the roast beef was good, you can't go wrong with Swiss Cheese (processed or not, who gives a fuck), but the real kicker was the "Horsey" sauce, which was basically horseradish mayonnaise.  My Mom can't eat a roast beef dinner without a bit of horseradish and many others do the same, I find that practice appalling, but the horseradish mayonnaise on this beef dip really kicked up the sandwich a notch, making it even better than what it is.  Plus Arby's has seasoned curlies... who doesn't like seasoned curlies??  If you haven't thought of Arby's for a lunch choice, you should think again.  I would definitely recommend the beef deep, at about $10 after tax for a combo it's not too bad, way cheaper then what you'd pay at a normal restaurant for essentially the same thing.  Pretty much anything on the Arby's menu is worth it!

Up next for my food reviews is Memphis Fire BBQ.  I had it last night and it was unbelievably good.  Look for that blog in the next couple of days! 

Big Brother 16 Week 6 Thoughts

Well it took 6 fucking weeks but there was finally some gameplay in the Big Brother house.  Double Eviction nights are always one of the highlights of the Big Brother season and last night certainly did not disappoint.  First the Holy Roller Jocasta got the boot, it was a bit of a shocking turn of events as I was convinced that lunatic Zach was gone, but the majority flipped and sent Jocasta and her stupid bowties out the door.  I have been a little hard on Mama J in these posts, but I started to slightly warm up to her the last few episodes, her sassy diary rooms were kind of funny... who was she phoning anyways, Jesus??

After that piece of shit Caleb miraculously won HOH, he put up Hayden and my boy Donny, and after an epic Veto victory by Donny, Hayden left the house... above is stock footage of Hayden surfing.  I liked Hayden, he was pretty laid back and chill but ultimately he wasn't on the side of the house with the numbers and he is done.  Nicole seemed pretty upset about it at the end of last nights episode, and both of them called out Frankie and Christine in front of the house.  It'll be interesting to see on Sunday what they actually said. As we learned last night the game is not over for the jury members...

Fuck this noise, fire this stupid twist into the sun and never have it return. I can't believe they are going to have an evicted houseguest return to the game.  It is the worst twist of them all, once you are out of the game that should be it!  I am not sure if it's just people in the jury house that are going to come back or what.  Joey, Devin, and Brittany have all been active on Twitter since their eviction so it won't be them for sure, but to my knowledge Amber has not been on Twitter so she may still be in isolation... maybe she has a chance to come back too??  If Amber does return to the house she better have a restraining order against Caleb and his stupid over-alls.  Regardless it is just a waste of time.

Speaking of stupid twists, unfortunately Team America is still a thing, and they went back to the dual HOH with a Battle of the Block ughhhh.... spoilers at the end of the post.

Other Random Thoughts:

Christine is annoying, ugly too but mostly annoying. I really just wanted to post that picture of her looking like a screeching eagle.

Nicole looks way better with out those big Steve Urkel glasses on, but I have to say her voice is really starting to grind my gears, it is getting torturous listening to her for more than 10 seconds at a time.

I don't think I have flip-flopped between liking and hating a houseguest more than Zach.  He's a fucking headcase for sure, but he does make me laugh.  Quit screaming in the god damned diary room though, why do houseguests do this??  He is like Teflon this season, no matter all the shit he starts and the ridiculous verbal diarrhea that spews from his mouth, he still comes out clean at the end of the day.

Frankie is getting really fucking annoying.  Just enough already with the stupid voices and characters, I heard it is 1000 times worse on the live feeds too.  He's been in the middle of a lot of shit this season and I think people are going to turn on him sooner rather than later.

Donny winning the Veto made me stand up and applaud, I loved how he played it cool during the competition, while Zach and Caleb were flailing around like they were having seizures.  That being said I don't think he is long for this game at this point, he has no real alliance (out of the 17 fucking alliances in the house) and he doesn't seem to have any real strategy.

Speaking of alliances can we give it a rest on the stupid names?? Each one is worse than the last one.  The Brigade will always be the best Br-Br-Br-BRI-GADE!

Christine and Nicole are the  2 HOH's.... and they are targeting Frankie!! The plan as of now is to back door him, I think Frankie knows a thing or two about back dooring (so does Zach.... not that there is anything wrong with that!)  But if Frankie is ultimately the one who leaves I can see him being the one who gets back into the house uuuughhhhhhh, I will shit bricks if that happens.

Big Brother 16 Week 5 Thoughts

Well on the bright side Amber doesn't have to worry about Caleb cutting off her skin and wearing it around the house now.  I feel bad that Amber was evicted (in yet another unanimous vote, surprise surprise) because that psychopath Caleb completely derailed her game.  Amber tried to get an all-girls alliance going, but she was too little too late with that.  She should have listened to that Milhouse-haired whacko Joey in week 1 when she wanted to form an all girls alliance, instead of ignoring her, and sticking with that Ninja Turtle Devin and his ridiculous Bomb Squad.  Had they done that the game would be totally different now.  I am betting that Caleb is going to have the same VaGinaMarie/Nick-esque melt down over the next few weeks, wearing all her stuff, keep bringing her up non-stop.... if he starts calling the rest of the houseguests cock-a-roaches then that will be really weird.  By the way, why did he shave his arms before his "date" with Amber? 

I'd be remiss this week if I didn't talk about the "Zach Attack" I have mixed feelings on him.  Sometimes I think he is a complete troll and an arsehole, but on the other hand he has been the one entertaining person in the middle of some pretty dull houseguests... he's 100% gay though, I'm sorry bud just come out and admit it and you'll feel better (not that there is anything around with that!) The "Fruit Loop Dingus" comment was hilarious, and so was comparing Christine to Jenn City (aka Jenn Shitty) as being a Big Brother Floater.  His speech to Amber on the other hand was terrible, mainly because it enabled Caleb's downright creepiness, like I said before, Amber deserved a better fate and it's pretty much 100% Zach's doing that she is gone this week.  But despite his best efforts there was no big argument in the house, so shitty Team America (fuck yeah!) doesn't get $5K.

Can we please end this Team America charade once and for all, it was a terrible idea to start and it's been terrible all season.  Good for Donny for putting the kibosh on the latest stupid challenge they had, why would he purposely alter his own game for the stupid challenge, it's such an unnecessary part of this season and they should kill it right away.

Other Random Thoughts:

HOH spoilers are at the end of this.

I never want to hear the expression "Beast Mode Cowboy" again in my life, just typing it gives me the douche-chills.

Derrick and Cody have emerged as "The Hitmen" and I think they will be final 2, and like I already predicted I think Derrick is going to win it all.  But please, Derrick why do you insist on wearing those fucking Steve Urkel glasses with no lenses, it's such a terrible look, production needs to take them away ASAP.

Vicboria was useless again this week, but what is with her catty comments during her eviction votes? She must know that it's the only air time she gets.  Nice try CBS trying to make a Vicboria-Hayden-Nicole love triangle happen because it isn't going too!

There was rumours on the Twitter that they are going to go back to just having 1 HOH...thank fuck for that.  The double HOH was an interesting idea at first, but every week they have worked together and it hasn't produced any of the drama they were hoping it would.  I am guessing during the double eviction it will go back to normal and there will not be a "battle of the block".

They pulled a Big Brother Canada and had a non-endurance HOH turn into a cliff-hanger... it was stupid on BBCAN and it is stupid now.  Anyways Donny and Nicole are the HOH's!! Woo-hoo!  I hope this does shift the balance of power in the house, while I want to see Caleb gone, I would also like things to get shaken up a bit as it's been predictable as fuck the last few weeks.  I hope something big happens... but I am not counting on it!  Go Donny!!
