Fluff

So, Thursday night we were left hangin, so to speak, with a cliff hanger. Who would win the coveted Head of Household? Who would wield the power this week? Which season 6er would it be?? Last nights episode opened up where Thursday’s left off. Several asshats hanging on a huge spider web. 5 eggs below with various things in it from rotten junk to $10,000 for the first 5 that drop off the web. This web tilts, spins and shoots the houseguests with some kind of cream (shaving? whipped?).

The first one off the web is Dr. Will, to no one’s shock. I’ve never seen anyone who quit so much win so much. How in southern hell did he win season 2? He is ALWAYS the first one out in every competition! I guess winning those little competitions don’t measure up to winning the whole she-bang, does it? So, he drops off and picks and egg. Before he smashes it, one of the remaining houseguests (Danielle? Erika?) hollers at him and ask him and everyone else to agree that whoever gets the slop free pass gives it to George. Poor George has been on slop a LONG time. Initially Dr. Will says hell no, he won’t give it up for George, but then he turns and says he was just joshin….he’ll give George the slop free pass if its in his egg. He selects an egg, tosses it and ends up with……rotten yuck.

Two hours into the game, Janelle and Dr. Will are the only ones not on the web (she was outgoing HoH, therefore could not compete) and they go outside to tell everyone congratulations for hanging on this long, but to announce that the game was now changing. Now they cannot sit on the web, they must hang from the under side of the web. This will greatly complicate things for the remaining houseguests. During this transition, James almost falls but saves himself – for another 10 minutes. He drops and picks an egg, smashing it to reveal the prize that allows him to nullify one eviction vote. Boogie (**snort**) drops off and picks the $10,000 egg. Yay for him! Next is Kaysar, who selects the remaining rotten egg. Okay, for those counting, that only leaves Howie Jackass from season 6 on the web and one egg left, with the slop free pass.
As an aside, the show cuts to a scene either before or after the competition (it isn’t clear which it is) between Howie and Danielle where she sits him down, and in a motherly way tells him that he really is no longer Howie Jackass, he’s becoming Howie FATass. Yep, Howie FATass has gained a bunch of weight in the month they’ve been in the house. He eats constantly. Consuming an entire bag of chips in one sitting, eating tons of ice cream…his 6-pack has turned into a 12-pack and is on its way to becoming a party ball.

Back to the competition. In a voice over, George says that he was so concentrated on winning the HoH competition that the thought of dropping off and claiming the slop free pass never crossed his mind. And ya know what? I kind of believe him. Marcellas finally drops, claiming the slop free pass. That leaves Howie-fat-Jackass, Erika and Danielle. Danielle almost drops out at this point but musters up the strength to hang on as Howie-fat-Jackass gives in. Danielle pleads with Erika to let go making a deal with her to NOT put her up and Erika falls for it, plunging to the mat. Danielle is the new HoH and declares herself the “Black Widow”.

THANK GOD IT IS NOT A SEASON 6 PERSON!! WOO HOO!!

Dr. Will’s back is sore from hefting Boogie (**snort**) up after his PoV win last week, and says that its hard to recuperate from an injury when you are living on ketchup. Kaysar tries to fix it by stretching and twisting Dr. Will’s body to crack his back, then Danielle tries to fix it by massaging his spine, then Kaysar tries again, all to no avail. Danielle wants to know what that bony bump is on Dr. Will’s back – to which he exclaims, “It’s my spine poking through my skin!” Poor Dr. Will.

The season 6ers gang up on James asking who he thinks Danielle will put up this week. He only says that he thinks she’ll put up Janelle because of her nomination of floaters last week. He apparently doesn’t have a clue who the other nomination is. Behind their backs, James calls Janey an “Anna Nicole Smith wannabe”….I’m thinking he’ll be voting to evict Janey after she pissed him off so bad last week, no?

Danielle’s HoH room is green, green, green. Which is a huge improvement over the Pepto-palace that was Janelle’s room last week. Janey snarks that she prefers it that nauseating Pepto-pink when it was her room.

Down in the kitchen the houseguests find pizza. Everyone is excited except for George, who is STILL on slop rations, until Marcellas sacks up and gives George his slop free pass. He takes it in one hand and a slice o’ pie in the other, grinning like a 5 year old on Christmas morning. As a matter of fact, he eats the pizza while still holding the slop free pass. Good old Georgie finally got some real food.

Danielle pulls James aside and tells him that she is putting him up against Janelle for eviction as a pawn. She is very confident that he can pull out the PoV and save himself so he is safe. He is alarmed/worried/pissed/scared, but there isn’t anything he can do about it. Danielle has the power this week, not him. Marcellas pulls Danielle aside and says she should nominate Janey and Kaysar. Danielle doesn’t like this because Marcellas has turned on Janey so fast. This worries her a bit about Marcellas’ loyalty to anyone other than Marcellas.

She pulls Kaysar aside and tries to make him explain why season 6 has nominated/voted the way they have so far in the game but he can’t explain it. Even he doesn’t fully understand their strategy. Ummm, maybe because there IS no strategy? Their strategy has been a simple game of numbers and competition strength. They are in danger of losing that this week. Kaysar accuses her of having an alliance with James, but she assures him she is only playing for herself. To herself (and the American viewing public) she announces her intentions to make sure that someone from season 6 walks this week. We’ll see.

The stupidest ever key pulling nomination ceremony is called to order and Danielle announces that her nominations this week are a direct result of the nominations last week.  Everyone’s key is pulled except Janelle and James.  According to her, the put up the “two most bad-ass players from season 6″, but we all know she put up The Bunny and The Whiner.  Power of Veto competition is important this week.  Whatever happens, we do NOT want Janey to win the PoV and take herself off the block.  She really MUST go.  Really.  I’m just sayin’.

Tune in Tuesday at 7pm CST on CBS for the PoV ceremony and keep your fingers crossed against Janelle.
