In Case You Missed It:
The game yet again showcased the talents of Alison Irwin, the Cinderella of Big
Brother 4. The "Diamond" POV winner saved herself a second time in a row, and
the third time overall, both Big Brother records. As a result, Erika Landin, the
Pilates instructor, was placed on the block by default. Seeing Erika as a threat
to win the game, Alison sadly cast the sole vote to evict Erika, making her a
fourth place finisher, and the sixth member of the jury.
The last HOH
competition, which has always been a three part affair, began its opening act
with an endurance contest. While standing on miniature Big Brother houses, the
three competitors had to stand on the top of the houses while holding on to
their respective keys in a tray. Then, just to make things a bit more difficult,
the houseguests were pelted with some makeshift snow.
But unlike Big
Brothers past, this round of three remaining will be a normal week. And tonight,
we'll see a food competition, luxury competition, and America's Choice, plus the
winners of the first two parts of the HOH competitions. Who will be BB4's
Ultimate HOH? Find out!
SEND IN THE CLOWNS
It didn't take long
for Alison to admit her anguish over voting to evict Erica was fake, and only a
plea on Ali's behalf for Erika to vote for her in the end.
But, quickly
on to unfinished business, the first part of the HOH competition. Alison warned
the other two houseguests that she builds snowmen in Pennsylvania in her
swimsuits, so this kind of competition, she feels, is quite suited to her. It
doesn't take long for the contest to be resolved, as Jun accidentally loses grip
of her key at the one hour mark. Robert asks Ali to consider taking him along to
the end, and releases his grip in an effort of good will.
While the
contest still went on, Robert admitted to Jun and Alison that Julie Chen
confronted him in the HOH interview on his use of demeaning terms when he talked
to Jee a couple of weeks ago. This infuriates Jun and Ali in Diary Room
conversations to the point where both seem to want to send the Cuban-American
home next.
After a commercial, a present awaited the final three
outside. When Robert opened it, a mime popped up, with a message on its neck,
which says his presence has to do with a luxury competition. The mime, who of
course can't speak, couldn't reveal what the clue was.
With the mime
performing for over three hours, and doing everything he could to enrage the
houseguests, the mime pulls out a key, and motions the threesome to come with
him to the Desert Room. That room had now been transformed into a movie theater.
The winner of the competition would get a screening of the movie "Runaway Jury",
starring Dustin Hoffman and Gene Hackman, which doesn't even hit the movie
theaters until the October. But, on top of the screening, the winning houseguest
and a guest gets invited to the red carpet premiere after BB4 ends.
The
game was simple. The mime had to wear a Velcro vest, and the houseguests had to
throw Velcro balls at him. The first houseguest to rack up three hits wins, and
it didn't take long for Robert to claim victory. Robert could take ever Ali or
Jun for the in-house screening, and selected Alison.
In the third
segment, Ali and Robert sit down on their leather chairs, have their popcorn and
candies and watch the movie on the plasma screen. Jun was left to be entertained
by the mime, who kept her company briefly before leaving the house for good.
Then the houseguests were told of America's Choice, which this week gives a
houseguest a chance to take part in an online chat with fans.
After a
commercial, wouldn't you know it? Robert won ANOTHER America's Choice, much to
the Diary Room chagrin of the two girls. Robert puts on a shirt, and is off to
the HOH room to chat. Questions ranged to the trivial, like why Robert plays
with his nose, to the serious, like why Robert chooses to speak of the women in
degrading terms.
Then, the houseguests begin to feel trepidation about
the second part of HOH. Jun is confident going into the second part of the
contest, while Ali, touching all bases like she always does, relays this to
Robert. Robert then tells Ali that he will only commit to a deal if Alison is
fully committed.
In the final segment of the show, it was time for part
two of HOH. Alison, as the part one winner, cannot watch this second part.
Outside, there are five X's with four hooks on each, and on the side, there were
20 faces. Each X had two questions on it, and the correct answers would be
linked up diagonally. For instance, if one of the questions was "First two
nominated", the correct answer would be Jee and Amanda. Jun was the first to
answer all the questions right, making the final part of HOH an all-girl affair.
Alison, in the Diary Room, says she saw it coming, because Robert sucks.
Analysis:
Unless Alison wins HOH and pulls off her most
underhanded tactic of all, Jun Song will be, in all likelihood, your BB4
champion in eight days. I cannot see anyone but Robert being evicted tomorrow,
or Jun not winning the final jury's vote. Expect quite an anti-Alison backlash
in the coming days.
It's also pretty clear Alison will not honor
Robert's deal. Look at all the deals she's dishonored so far, plus the lack of
respect the girls have for Robert.
The mime was a neat twist, and quite
funny. Interesting how CBS, the network that had two mimes hosting a variety
show back in the late 1970s, Shields and Yarnell, now have had reality TV's
first on-duty mime.
One interesting thing about the websites Big Brother
trotted out that were supposedly fan sites of Alison's, Robert's, and Jun's: if
they exist on the Internet, I sure never heard of them. I'd have to assume that
Big Brother is trying to keep them from the popular opinion that all three of
them aren't well liked.
Three episodes left to go.
