See No Fruitless Exit Where Sleeping Dogs Lie
Tonight's episode of Big Brother was a pretty good one considering the season is drawing to a close. Yeah, there were several instances of ridiculous suspense. Oh no, who will Dan nominate? We know the nominations don't matter at all this week but the poor hapless souls only watching the television show probably don't. So let's face it. They have to do some creative editing to make them happy. Whoopty dee doo that Jerry and Memphis were nominated.
I was so glad to see the luxury competition get all the attention tonight instead of the nominations. How funny was it that Memphis and Keesha seemed too afraid to make a move when the sumo wrestler was in the house? Dan wasn't afraid to get a little up close and personal though when he snatched that envelope from under the wrestler's rump.
My favorite part of the show by far was all of Jessie being the gorilla. It didn't matter to me that I didn't like him when he was in the house. Who cares? He played the gorilla role wonderfully and was absolutely hirarious in it. It was fun to watch him mock the others in the backyard as they were trying to figure out the puzzle phrase. And when he made that fart sound after shaking Jessie's hand, I laughed out loud. Dan's eyes got as big as silver dollars when he realized who it was. If you're reading this Jessie, thanks for being such a funny gorilla!
Now let's go over the phrases that these numbskulls came up with. Jerry's first guess was the "hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil" phrase. And all because there was a giant picture of an ear and an emu with glasses on it in the backyard. I guess parts of that phrase could be considered helpful in the game. His second guess was "diamond's are a girl's best friend" and it was absolutely stupid. That has absolutely nothing to do with the game. Jerry's third guess of "a dog is a man's best friend" was even dumber. This coming from a man that proclaims to do puzzles all the time at home.
Keesha's first guess of "where sleeping dogs lie" was even worse than Jerry's three attempts. So there was a stuffed wolf lying in the backyard. How is that phrase helpful in the game? I thought it was a given. Her second guess of "blew it" was almost one of the dumbest things I've ever heard in Big Brother this season. At least her third guess of "don't count your chickens before your eggs are hatched" made a little bit more sense.
Now remember how I said I thought Keesha's second guess was almost one of the dumbest things I'd heard? The absolute dumbest thing we heard tonight was Memphis guess of "fruitless exit". What in the sam hell does that mean? Have you ever heard of that phrase before? Even if it was a real phrase, how is it helpful? What an idiot he is at puzzles. I expect him to perform poorly in the second part of the HOH competition this week that's for sure.
As we know, Dan won the luxury competition by guessing the phrase "bury the hatchet" and won a trip outside of the house. I was thinking he'd be lying about going to the beach but it turns out it was true. And everybody's suspicions were confirmed when he chose Michelle to go with him. What was interesting was the choices he had. He could have either taken somebody from within the house or somebody from the jury. I think that Michelle was the best choice he could have made -- either her or Ollie rather.
I'm worried for Dan though. Should he have taken the safe route and chosen Memphis or even Jerry? Because he didn't tell them or Keesha that he would be taking Michelle from the jury house. His not telling them could backfire on him big time. The hamsters are usually shown a little video of what special thing that person did when they were out of the house. What will they think when they see Michelle with him? Memphis might feel especially betrayed by that. And don't forget that one of them will be going to the jury house themselves on Wednesday after they've finished their media rounds.
