Big Brother 15 Opening Episode Thoughts

I love Big Brother, I don't watch that many TV shows, let alone reality TV shows, but I can't miss an episode of Big Brother.  The debut of Big Brother marks the start of summer for me.  Sure we had Big Brother Canada, and don't get me wrong that was decent, but nothing compares to the real thing.  This season is a little different, for the 3 or 4 of you that read my Big Brother Canada updates you know that I really hate unnecessary twists, but I like the twist they've thrown in this year.  As you all know the HOH will nominate two guests as usual, but America (not Canadians, thanks a lot assholes) votes on a weekly MVP and they get to nominate someone.  The rest of the house doesn't know who the MVP is, or who the nomination is until my beloved Julie Chen lets them know, and the MVP can remain anonymous if they so choose.  I still have a few questions, what happens if the MVP ends up being the nomination? Can we trust these retarded Americans to elect a good MVP? Remember these are the people who elected George W. Bush President....twice.  As per usual most of the first episode dealt with introductions blah blah blah, so I will give some of my first impressions of some of the houseguests.

I must say this season has the best looking cast of women in many years.  All of the girls are easy on the eyes, and unlike Big Brother Canada who films in fucking Mississauga in February and March this is filmed in L.A. in the summer which gives us plenty of time to ogle at them laying around the pool in their bikinis...not that I would ever do such thing, I'm a gentleman.  Kaitlin pictured above is my favourite so far, I might try to hit her up on Twitter after the show.  Despite the unfortunate spelling of the name 'Erin', Aaryn is also very hot. GinaMarie is pretty good looking too, but christ all mighty is she ever annoying.  Speaking of annoying...

Jesus Christ it's Rachels sister.  It's bad e-fucking-nough that we had to deal with that wretched beast for two seasons now we have to deal with her sister.  Thankfully she didn't have much of a role in last nights episode and did nothing to annoy me, but I doubt that is going to last long.  Doesn't she kind of remind you of that woman who got all the plastic surgery to look like a cat?  I hope she is gone soon, I think the rest of the house will pick up quickly on the fact that she is Rachels sister and she will be gone very quickly, possibly as soon as next week.

Originally I thought David was a cross between Beavis and Rocky Dennis, but it's more like Jeff Spicoli and Rocky Dennis.  Either way David is a plug, the guy is dumber than a bag of hammers. Maybe his laid back stoner attitude will win me over, but fuck man get a new hair doo you look ridiculous, and no just because I am bald doesn't mean I have some sort of hair envy, I'm too fucking lazy to shave or brush my teeth in the morning most of the time, I can't imagine having to make my hair look pretty.

Hey look, it's McCrae playing the double bass! Seriously though, he looks a little like Geddy Lee, minus the massive schnozz.  I think it was a bit silly of him to hold on for the HOH, people already think he is some sort of genius lying about being a stoner Pizza delivery guy, when in fact he really is a stoner pizza guy.  That being said I am kind of leaning towards him being my early pick to win it all, but I certainly haven't made up my mind yet.


As for the rest of the house, not a whole fuck of a lot stood out at me from the rest of the house guests.  I think a lot of them are playing too hard too fast, forming alliances and such within the first hour or two.  Jeremy aka Tatanka is already in 2 for christs sake.  I doubt any of these alliances will last....they certainly are no Brigade.  I'll do a quick thought on each of the house guests that I haven't mentioned yet.

Amanda - Big rack, in one of her pre-show interviews she says she has been know to have "verbal diarrhea" so that should make things interesting.

Andy - Google Image search Howdy Doody and you've got Andy, as the token gay I am glad he is not as flamboyant and in your face about it as Gary Glitter from BB Canada or Lawonderful in the past.

Candice - Meh, hasn't said or done anything interesting yet.

Helen - Ceiling eyes

Howard - too Jesusy, I hope he goes far though, black dudes never last long.

Jessie - She's pretty cute, but conceited as fuck

Judd - Hillbilly, reminds me of Joe from BB14

Nick - Cocky, I can see him lasting long in the game though

Spencer - Beard, thank God he kept his shirt on in the team swim suit picture

Well that's it for my first of my weekly Big Brother posts, I'll most likely be posting them every Wednesday after the live eviction.  I read spoilers, I will try not to post too many of them, but if I do I'll give you ample warning.  For a good recap of what is going on in the live feeds go to Joker's Updates if you want to see some pervy shots of the house guests,  (it's equal opportunity perviness too ladies) and daily recaps/spoilers check out I Hate Big Brother @EvelDick and @ZingBot_3000 are two of many good follows on Twitter, but they post spoilers too so be forewarned!  While you're at it follow me on Twitter too! @didhenley

REVIEW: St. Hubert

My first food review as a Kingstonian is St. Hubert's Chicken.  I know I know I should've done something a little better, but as a Swiss Chalet aficionado I was curious to see what the stinking French have been going on about all this time.  From what I gather, St. Hubert is the Quebec version of the Elvis Chalet (named that by my uncles because legend has it whenever Elvis Presley was in Canada he'd crush 3 or 4 full chicken dinners in one sitting).  St. Hubert has a few locations sprinkled around eastern Ontario and the Maritimes, but the vast majority of their restaurants are in fucking Quebec.  I've met people from Quebec who swore up and down that St. Hubert was waaaay better than my beloved Elvis Chalet.  I tend to take whatever a Frenchman tells me with a grain of salt, mainly because they've been so dead wrong about almost everything, especially their choice of shitty hockey team.  So I decided to get some delivered, and see how it compares to Swiss Chalet.

The meal comes to you in this lovely cardboard box, while Swiss Chalet comes in this plastic thing.  If you're one of those holier-than-thou environment people I am sure you think that's just swell.  The problem was those ribbons around it were impossible to cut.  I broke my scissors when I sat on them one day back in London before I moved, and I have never bothered getting another pair, and all my kitchen knives are as dull as fuck, so it took me a few hacks to get at er.

So here we go, I ordered my go-to Swiss Chalet order, the Double Leg dinner.  The first thing I noticed was the two things of gravy, apparently that's standard, you don't have to pay extra for a second.

BUN:  Swiss Chalet's bun is way better, this is just a toasted Wonder Bread brand hamburger bun they give you, not to say the St. Hubert bun tastes like shit or anything, you can't really fuck up bread, but I definitely prefer the Swiss Chalet bun.

FRIES:  First I should say that you can't judge fries that have been delivered, it is absolutely impossible to make delivered fries as crispy and hot and delicious as fries you get in the restaurant.  That being said Swiss Chalet wins the fry category,  St. Hubert fries were nothing special, they were like what you'd get in any cafeteria. Swiss Chalet puts a bit of effort into them, and they are still OK when you get them delivered. I am sure these fries would have been way better in the restaurant, so I don't think it's fair to judge.

COLESLAW: I got a small thing of shitty coleslaw that I'm never gonna eat in my fridge, does anyone want it?

CHICKEN:  The chicken was delicious, they gave me two decent sized pieces, and it was moist and the skin was nice and crispy.  It's hard to tell if I like St. Hubert chicken better than the chicken at Swiss Chalet.  Based on memory, I think the Swiss Chalet was a bit more seasoned than St. Hubert, but what the fuck do I know.  Maybe an actual side by side taste test is in the cards, but that would be kind of going all out for this stupid blog.

GRAVY:  Hands down Elvis Chalet wins this category.  The gravy at Swiss Chalet is the nectar of the Gods, I think they should set up fountains of Swiss Chalet gravy around town instead of useless water.  All that being said St. Hubert gravy was still pretty god damned good, it went really well with the chicken, and it saved the fries.  

Overall, the edge has to go to Swiss Chalet, I don't know if it's because I've eaten there my entire life and have been there dozens of times, and I've only eaten at St. Hubert once, I guess I am set in my chicken ways.  I will definitely order it again, mainly for one thing though - free delivery, plus they take debit on delivery.  Swiss Chalet is stuck in the stone age only accepting cash and charging a ridiculous surcharge for delivery.  It's pretty dumb that there is a Swiss Chalet down the street from me and they'll charge $3 to deliver but the St. Hubert is on the other side of town and they don't charge shit.

I'm not sure what the next place I will review will be, if anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears.  Leave a suggestion in the comments or hit me up on twitter @didhenley.  Big Brother 15 starts next week, and I'll be posting weekly reviews starting after the first episode!  Rumour has it Rachel's sister is gonna be a houseguest this year, uggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhh, hopefully she is not as fucking annoying as Rachel is. 

The Clusterfuck that is the 2013 Jays

Wow I've really neglected this blog lately.  I apologize to my dozen or so fans, but the last month or so I've been busier than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest.  I'll try to get back to updating this a little more consistently, as there is plenty of new food places for me to review, and the new season of Big Brother starts in a couple of weeks (speaking of Big Brother, I kind of missed posting about the last few episodes, I'll give my thoughts on how it ended in my first Big Brother USA post).

Anyways, on to todays topic...the clusterfuck that is the 2013 Toronto Blue Jays.  I've supported a lot of shitty teams over the years, but they were teams that were meant to be shitty.  The 2013 Blue Jays have to be the most disappointed I have ever been with any team I have ever supported.  Sure the Leafs had that Game 7 meltdown against the Bruins (PS that still stings) but nobody expected the Leafs to take the Bruins to 7 games, especially after they were down 3-1 in the series.  The 2013 Blue Jays were supposed to be different, they spent a lot of money, traded away a lot of prospects to go "all-in", they were picked to be World Series contenders by a lot pundits, but here we sit on June 2nd and they are a whopping 10 games under .500, in dead last in the AL East with a ragtag rotation and line-up due to more fucking injuries.  Barring a massive win streak and a miracle they look to be spending their 20th straight season out of the playoffs.

Brandon Morrow spazzing out on sunflower seeds basically sums up my feelings on the season so far.  It's been impossible for them to string a win streak together, I think a 3 game win streak has been their highest so far.  When they get pitching they can't hit, when they get hitting they can't pitch.  When they get both pitching and hitting someone will make an astronomically stupid fielding error, which inevitably lead to runs.  Pitching was supposed to be the strength of the 2013 Jays, but thus far they've been injury-riddled and shitty.  RA Dickey has had a couple of good starts but for the most part has been mediocre.  Mark Buerhle had a shitty April but has been coming around, he also tends to be the victim of having shitty run support.  Morrow and Josh Johnson have been hurt, but when healthy haven't exactly been lighting the world on fire.  I think JA Happ has been their best starter, but the guy fucks up his knee falling off the mound after getting hit in the face with a line drive.  How fucking unlucky is that? I think JA Happ's injury perfectly sums up the Jays season. 

Offensively I think there has been some good signs.  Edwin Encarnacion has been great all year offensively, and after a traditional slow April, Jose Bautista has come around and is playing like Bautista can.  The biggest surprise all season offensively has to be Adam Lind, my friend Corey Sperling's boy Lind.  Everyone had given up on Lind, and really he had the numbers, especially against left-handed pitchers to warrant it.  But not SPEPLING, he stuck with his boi 2-6, and is reaping the rewards, Lind has honestly been their best hitter lately, and has been one of the few bright spots on the team thus far.  Jose Reyes being injured has SUCKED, in the 10 or so games that Reyes was healthy, he was hitting over .400 and was quickly becoming one of my favourite players, he should be back within the next month, and I think that will help them immensely.  Brett Lawrie on the other hand really needs to get his shit together, both on the field and mentally.  The Jays PR team has been blowing smoke up his ass since he got on the team, basically because of his Canadian passport, he really needs to grow up though.  He needs to stop bitching at the umpires (stop throwing equipment at them is a good start), the whole incident where he got mad at Lind and the 3rd base coach for not running on his sacrifice fly was embarrassing.  Not only that he is barely hitting above the Mendoza line, and surprise, surprise, he's injured too!  For the Jays to do anything, Lawrie needs to be better.

I tend to agree with Ricky here, and I am optimistic on the way the rest of the season will play out.  As bad as the Jays have been so far, it can't possibly get any worse.  They've dug a deep hole for themselves, but there is still plenty of time left in the season for them to turn it around into something respectable.  They were horrible in April, but believe it or not did get better in May, now they just need to be solid the rest of the way.  All they need is a big win streak, 7 or 8 game win streaks aren't out of the question at all in MLB, the Jays just need a 15 game win streak to dig them out of the hole they're in.   The bullpen has been solid, Casey Janssen and Brett Cecil have been lights out.  The bats are finally starting to come around,  along with Encarnacion, Bautista and Lind, Melky Cabrera had a great May.  If the pitching gets healthy and performs the way they are supposed to, they could easily be back in the thick of things come September, and a strong finish will help the 2014 team (I'm already looking towards 2014, for fucks sakes).  Every time they get a big walk off victory and I think things are starting to turn around, they go ahead and shit the bed the next game.  Despite how the rest of the season turns out we'll always have this to remember....

2013 NHL Playoff Round One Preview

After a long 82 game, shortened 48 game schedule the real season for hockey fans begins tomorrow night.  The first round of the NHL playoffs has always been my favourite point of the hockey season when there is 3-4 intense games a nights for two weeks.  By the later rounds my interest somewhat wanes, I usually don't care for the teams left, and it's the summer for christs sakes.  Since 2004 my viewing of the playoffs have been motivated by hate, hate for the Senators and Canadiens mainly, but this year I'll be watching with love.  Thankfully, mercifully, for the first time since (gasp) 2004, my beloved Toronto Maple Leafs will be a part of the dance.  More on the Leafs later, I am going to break down each series and offer my predictions, most of my opinions won't be based on "facts", it will be based on mainly vitriol. 

Western Conference

VS

Last season the LA Kings won the Stanley Cup as the 8 seed out of the west.  I can safely say there is no chance this will happen again.  The Blackhawks have been the elite of the NHL this season, and I see that trend continuing in the playoffs.  The Wild "loaded up" this past off-season, throwing obscene money at Ryan Suter and Zach Parise, but they only managed to squeak into the playoffs.  They are perhaps the most boring team of all time, plus that have that clown Dany Heatley, which is just unfortunate.  This series will be done quickly.

Prediciton: Blackhawks in 4

 

VS

 

Fuck the Red Wings.  How pathetic does your team have to be to be "presented by Amway".  They're a bunch of jerks, and so are their fans, two particular people come to mind, my friend Killer and my other friend Ryan. The Wings had a garbage year, but still managed to make the playoffs. I would have been ecstatic if they didn't make the playoffs, but quick exit at the hands of a very good Ducks team will have to do. 

Prediciton: Ducks in 5

VS

 

For a few years now the San Jose Sharks have been the trendy media pick to win the Stanley Cup and year after year they've disappointed in the playoffs.  I think this year will be different, nobody has talked much about the Sharks this year, and I can see them going on a decent run this playoffs.  As for Vancouver, I hate them.  The Sedin sisters creep me out, they are a bunch of whining divers, and that fat opera singer that sings Oh Canada before games is a dork.  The only good thing about this team is Roberto Luongo's twitter account. 

Prediction: Sharks in 6

 

VS

 

 

I honestly have very little to say about this series.  I don't think I watched the St. Louis Blues play a single game this year.  It's kind of cool that Jay Bouwmeester is finally playing a playoff game after all these years.  If Halak can get hot for them like he did for the Habs a few years back anything can happen I suppose.  The Kings are the defending champs, I don't think they'll win it all again, but I see them advancing to the 2nd round.  This series is going to be a boring defensive struggle, I don't imagine I'll be going out of my way to watch any of it.

Prediction: Kings in 6

Eastern Conference

 

VS

Good for the Islanders for making the playoffs, I think he future looks bright for the team, especially with a move to the fancy Barclay's Center in Brooklyn on the horizon.  John Tavares is one of the best players in the league, and Nabakov has been playing like his old self lately.  However, all that won't be enough to get by the Penguins, with or without Crosby they're just too good.  As long as the Islanders don't have that fucktard Steve Webb playing for them anymore they're good with me.

Prediciton:  Penguins in 5

 

VS

Ugh, two of the worst franchises in all of sports battle it out to see which one can earn most of my scorn.  Picking a winner of this series will be akin to picking between licking up a pile of vomit or a pile of diarrhea.  This time of year people come out and say "you gotta cheer for the Canadian team no matter what".  This is such bullshit, I can't imagine any scenario where I would root for either the Montreal Canadiens or the Ottawa Senators.  I really couldn't give a flying fuck that a Canadian team hasn't won the Cup since 1993, I won't be any happier if any other Canadian team besides the Leafs won the Cup, than I would if any American team won.  Most American teams who have won the Cup recently have more Canadians on the team then the shitty Habs or woeful Senators do.  I wish nothing but the worst for either team and hope they both implode with injuries and are forced to concede from the playoffs.  I can't even bring myself to make a prediction.

Prediction: Who gives a fuck

 VS

  

The Rangers were one of the most disappointing teams in the league this year, after coming close to the Stanley Cup final last year, and adding Rick Nash in the off-season, many, myself included thought the Rangers would be near the top the the Eastern Conference this year.  But they struggled mightily and barely made the playoffs.  Washington got off to a horrific start, but as of late have been one of the top teams in the league.  I love Alex Ovechkin, and he has finally remembered how to play like Ovi can.  I think this is going to be a great series, but the Rangers have Lundqvist, and as we have seen a millions times in the past in the playoffs, goaltending wins series.  I can totally see the Rangers erasing their woes from the season and making a run this year.

Prediction:  Rangers in 6

 

VS

The Leafs clinched a playoff spot over a week ago and I am still giddy over it.  The last time the Leafs were in the playoffs, I just finished my 3rd year at UWO, was living in Hamilton and working in the kiosk at the RBG.  Earlier that playoffs the Leafs beat the shitty Sens in 7 games, Game 7 will always be remembered by Patrick Lalime having a meltdown, letting in a few quick Joe Nieuwendyk goals, and that was truly the last time I've been happy as a Leafs fan.  I remember May 4th 2004 like it was yesterday,  me and my friends converged on Ando's attic to watch the game, we ordered a shit tonne of chicken wings from Chaps (still amongst the best Wings I have ever had), as usual we were smoking dope and drinking beers, oh the amount of weed smoked in that attic back then.  The Leafs rallied back in the 3rd period being down 2-0 to force overtime, then that little shit Jeremy Roenick came in on a breakaway and scored on Eddie Belfour.  I cried.  If I had known it would take another 9 years for the Leafs to make the playoffs again, there would have been a full on meltdown of tears. This year the Leafs are matched up against the dreaded Boston Bruins, who safe to say have owned the Leafs the last few years.  The last two times, however the Leafs played a hell of a lot better against them, beating the Bruins one game and losing in a shoot-out the next, it's irrelevant if the Bruins beat them 20 of the previous 22 contests.  It's gonna be a tough series, but I think the Leafs can pull it off, never underestimate the underdog.  If Optimus Reim gets hot, and the Lupul-Kadri-Kessel lines clicks, anything can happen.  Zdeno Chara is a fucking oafish lurch, Tyler Seguin is over-rated, and Milan Lucic is going to get his face pounded in on a nightly basis by Colton Orr and/or Fraser McClaren.  Get used to the Leafs car flags folks, they're going to be out for a while this year.

Prediction:  Leafs in 7.

So that's it for my preview for the first round, I might do another one for the other rounds, but like I said earlier, unless the Leafs are involved I'm likely to lose interest as the playoffs go on.  Hockey should not be played in late June when it is 25 degrees and sunny out.  Feel free to disagree with me in the comments section or hit me up on twitter @didhenley

Big Brother Canada Week 8 thoughts

Holy shit this dribble has been on for 8 weeks now? My heavens.  So I was wrong about Peter winning the inaugural Big Brother Canada, get used to it I'm wrong about almost everything.  You're looking at the guy who has predicted the Leafs would win the Stanley Cup every year since 1990.  Peter can PTFO though, what a fucking loser.  He had his little sob story about not being accepted on the Wednesday episode, no fucking wonder bud, nice poem too nerd. Worst. Exit. Ever.  My buddy Bobby has a good point, his face is way too pointy.  The worst part of the episode was not the ridiculously unnecessary twist of Gary coming back into the house, which was bullshit.  It was the cameo appearance of....

Ahhhh! Is Rachel destined to come back and haunt our dreams forever?  Her voice is the worst, just the 3 minute clip of her talking about this season made me want to shit bricks.  At least her insufferable fianceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Bah-REN-den was nowhere to be seen.  Probably off showing his peen on Skype again.  They totally needed Enzo and Lane from the Brigade to come back and talk shit about these jabronies. The Brigade remains the best alliance in Big Brother history.

No this isn't some weird bukkake scene Gary was involved in, although I am sure if you look hard enough you can find one.  It should really come as no surprise that Gary came back into the house.  On their Facebook post announcing the return of a houseguest (which I left a scornful message on saying how much I thought it was bullshit), 90% of the people wanted Gary to come back.  As much as I think this twist is bullshit, it could actually make the last couple of weeks somewhat interesting.  As of right now I don't know who is HOH, but if Gary or Andrew win they along with that dunderhead Talla can finally split up the insufferable power couple of Jillian and Emmett.  By the way I think Andrew and "La-La" bickering at each other has been hilarious, Sundays episode in particular had several genuine LOL moments for me.  Before this stupid twist Jillian and Emmett were cruising towards final two, but now who the fuck knows, I guess that's what the producers wanted.  It's still bullshit though, if Gary ends up winning it's a tainted victory.

I haven't really talked about the dreaded "milkmance" (ugh as if I just said that) in this blog, mainly because I find them to be intolerable.  That being said one of them does deserve to win the game.  They've really controlled things from the get-go.  So Jillian has told a few fibs here and there, I find nothing wrong with that, you are supposed to do what you can to win, if that means lying to peoples faces then so be it.  I think Jillian deserves to win more than Emmett, all he has done is drink milk, get disqualified from competitions, and sit around with his shirt peeled with that horrifically ugly farm tattoo polluting the airwaves.

I have a bit of bad news for the 6 or 7 of you that look forward to my Big Brother musings every Thursday night, this time next week I'll be passed out beside some swim up bar in sunny Punta Cana!  That's right, I'll be in the DR courtesy my buddy Bobby, who won the trip through work, he drew names from a hat to be his guest, and that lucky person happens to be me! Don't worry though as soon as I catch up I'm sure I'll have a thing or two to say.

Big Brother Canada Week 7 thoughts

All these people are fucking retarded.  Alec is a retard for throwing the P.O.V.,  Topaz is retarded for trusting Jillian so much, Peter is a full fledged downie bear for not using the P.O.V. he won.  Talla, well she must've been dropped on her head as a child.  This whole show is retarded because the producers have a fetish for twists.  But I still watch, and will continue to watch...perhaps I'm the retard.  Now that I have managed to offend everyone with my liberal use of the word "retard" let's get on with my Week 7 thoughts. 

As I have already mentioned Alec is a complete dumbass for throwing the P.O.V. competition, not just throwing it, but completely quitting half way through.  This may sound stupid but I think you should have some respect for the game, and not just quit for no reason.  Throwing a competition is one thing when it really is not in your best interest to win, but 10,000 people applied to be on the show and you go and quit a competition just like that?  Fuck you and fuck your massive eyebrows. He also blew it by voting out AJ a couple of weeks ago instead of Andrew.  I really think he fancied himself to be Dr. Will from BB2 and Big Brother All-Stars, but he didn't even come close. But he is gone (for now...) as for his Shield partner Peter....

 

You dumb-dumb, yes dumb-dumb I called you an insult made famous by the Great Gazoo on the Flintstones.  My pick to win from episode one is done-zo.  I kind of see what his reasoning would be not to use the POV tonight, not wanting to upset Jillian and Emmett, but he should have taken off Topaz, forcing Emmett to put up Andrew,  both Talla and Andrew are underlings of Jillian and Emmett, and that would have weakened their alliance.  But no he decided to play it safe, and now Topaz is out the door.  His hard-on for Liza is fucking pathetic.  Him wearing her hairband around his finger is creepy.  I seriously think that Peter thinks that him and Liza are going to hook-up and live happily ever after.  Give it up bud, you'll be back home making lame YouTube videos, sniffing Liza's hairband and eating chicken fingers in two months and no one will ever hear from you again.  I think Liza is going to need a restraining order once he is back in the real world.

While I agree Jillian going back on her would to Topaz was a shitty thing to do, this is Big Brother for fucks sakes, you can't trust anyone or anything.  Like Mike Boogie said in the last American season "this is the Big Brother house you're allowed to bounce cheques".  I would have never stepped off that ice berg if I was Topaz, and it's her own dumb fault that she is in the jury house.

Preach on Evel Dick

What a fucking surprise there is another "massive twist" on Big Brother Canada.  I can live with Double Evictions, Instant evictions, but voting to have someone in the jury house come back into the house?  LAME.  In fact I think it's completely unfair, especially at this stage of the game when there is only 5 players left.  People get evicted for a reason, and they should not be given a chance to re-enter the game, it's not fair for people who are still in the house.  Obviously Canada is going to vote Gary back in.  Yipee.  Maybe he'll have to go on slop and he'll have another meltdown.  They weren't exactly clear when the returning house guest will return, I assume it will be on next Thursday's live show.  I know the producers of both the American and Canadian versions of Big Brother seem to think Twists are the key to keep things interesting but they can't be farther from the truth.  Good casting makes the show, not incessant twists. This twist is the worst of them all, it is damn near criminal to have someone come back this late in the game.  Unless you don't want to be spoiled, do not read on....

Jillian wins HOH again, whoopdee fuck.  As for her nominations it's obvious she puts up Peter and Talla.  Like I said earlier I think Peter is gone, but of course that all depends on what happens at POV and with this ridiculous twist.  But what the fuck do I know, I am sure the producers are going to throw in  Diamond Pandora's Box Coup d'Etat and fucking Rachel is going to come swooping into the house.

As usual I'll end with my plea to follow me on twitter @didhenley or to leave a comment.  This show pisses me off.

I'm big in Germany!

Our friends in Germany have been known to like a lot of things, chocolate, bratwurst, giant beer steins, starting World Wars, and of course David Hasselhoff.  Another thing these Jerry's seem to like, for some god damned reason is my blog.  Why?  I don't have the slightest of clues.  I started this blog basically for shits and giggles, I've always enjoyed writing and this gives me something to do, I really needed another hobby other than drinking beer and going to 7-11.  For those unaware blogger.com let's you track your traffic sources, what people have entered into Google to find your site, and your page views by country.  As to be expected the vast majority of page views are Canadian, I have quite a few page views from the United States, perhaps due to all the McDonald's posts.  Recently the Germans have launched their own blitzkrieg on my blog, and there are some days where German page views outnumber Canadian ones.  Who are these krauts and why are they so interested in Big Brother Canada?  In the past week I have 163 pages views from Canada and 140 views from The Hun. Is there some hipster community in Dusseldorf that is visiting this blog ironically?? This post is laced with World War Two era jargon, but truth be told I have no issue with our German friends, they've come a long way since 1945, I love schnitzel, and spatzle and saurkraut are as good a side dish as they come, polka music still sucks though.  I just want to know who you are, why are you visiting my page?  Am I famous in Germany?  If fucking David Hasselhoff can become a national hero there, I certainly could.  Seriously though, if you're a German and are reading this, hit me up on twitter @didhenley add me to Facebook, or at the very least leave a comment.  Since I have so many German fans now, I should probably refrain from using so many World War Two era slurs, I really don't want to piss them off because as we all know.....

 

Big Brother Canada Week 6 thoughts

It was a big week in the Big Brother house, the producers seem hellbent in throwing twist after twist at us this season, and it was no different this week with the instant eviction on Sundays episode.  To be honest I thought the whole instant eviction was a bit chincy.  It robbed Topaz of getting the perks of being HOH, the room, the letter and pictures from home, all the candy and shit that they get etc.  Plus I think she got thrown under the bus by the producers by letting the rest of the house listen to her plot her move.  I thought her picks were stupid too, picking on the old man bromance like that.  Another thing is what happened to the Veto?? If there was the whack instant eviction AJ and Andrew should've been given the chance to take themselves off the block.  But alas, the old man bromance was split up and AJ was the first member sent to the jury house.

The scene above made me laugh, when Andrew brought the picture of AJ out to have dinner with him.  I wish they got more airtime at the beginning of the season, they were a lot more entertaining than that asshole Tom or the insufferable showmances that have plagued this season.  I hate that term showmance, in fact I am never going to use it anymore.

Before I get into Gary's eviction this week, I have to say his meltdown over being put on slop was one of the funniest things I have ever seen.  What a fucking baby!  I am a big boy, and if you've read my blog you know I love my food but I certainly wouldn't have a melt down like a 3 year old if I was put on slop for the week, I wouldn't be happy about it but there would be no tears and hysterics.  I actually lost a lot of respect for Gary this week when he flipped out at Talla for absolutely no reason.  All she did was ask him to turn off the stove, and he got all up in her business.  I know Gary is, uh, feminine but the guy is 6'3' and towered over Talla, I honestly thought he was going to punch her.  As far as Gary getting evicted, it was a good move for the rest of the house, Gary was a strong player who had a good shot of winning and it was good to get rid of him.  He was funny and entertaining and all but it was time for him to go.  PS Arisa Cox your pump fakes are getting old and tiresome, this is the 4th or 5th time in a row you've said "Topaz..........(needless dramatic pause)......you are safe".  My girl Julie Chen just cuts to the chase, and you can learn a thing or two from her.

 

As for the rest of the house, believe it or not that dingbat Talla actually holds a lot of power now, and what she does is going to go a long way the rest of the season.  I think Talla is hilarious, she is definitely one of my favourite houseguests...the screaming is a little much though.  The house is divided into the east coast/west coast factions, just like the 90's rap scene but with less bitches and blunts....and murders I guess.  So we got the Shield+Topaz representing Vancouver and the Maritimers Andrew, Emmett and Jillian, leaving Talla in the middle as the tie-breaker.  Whoever she aligns with will be the winning faction, and will go down to the Final 3.  Despite calling Peter to win from the start the only reason I want him to win now is because I want to be right, he actually annoys me, the main reason is the screaming in the diary room, you're not Dan Gheesling, get a grip!! The Liza elastic thing has also made me lose a ton of respect for him.  The person I want to win now is Andrew but I don't think he has a chance.   The episode tonight ended with an endurance competition, so we won't know who wins HOH until Sunday.  Unless you read the spoilers, so don't read on unless you want to be spoiled.

Don't say I didn't warn you....but Jillian wins HOH, so in other words Emmett is now Head of Household.  This doesn't bode too well for the Shield, and this may be the end of them.  I am saying that Jillian will put up Alec and Topaz, and if one of them wins veto she'll put up Peter in their place.  Ultimately I think it's curtains for Alec, he is too good a player, and Jillian and Emmett would be absolutely stupid if they don't make this move.  

And quelle surprise, we have another fucking twist, and there is going to be a fucking double eviction, those are so hard to predict, but for arguments sake I'll say Topaz is the second evicted next week.
