First of all, sorry this is a little late. Funny things about dayjobs... sometimes they get all, like, busy and shit. Anyway, here we go!

Credits – it’s such a pleasure to see Alison walking out that door, you guys. I am so happy they got her out quick.

We see B&W footage of Nakomis leaving. Sadly, this means we cannot see her flaming hair.

Boogie interviews that he was sorry to see Nakomis go, but not that sorry because Diane is hot. Nakomis’ hair protests that it’s hot. Boogie, by the way, is not hot.

Jase makes a show of not caring that Nakomis is leaving because he doesn’t want to “fake it”. Yeah, Jase is never ever fake.

Everyone discusses the votes in the DR. Will surmises that the other vote against Diane came from someone in the S6 alliance and that this means perhaps they are cracking. Janelle Drs about her vote and seems a little miffed that her alliance voted the other way. James says that he and Howie voted for what was best for them, as opposed to what was best for Kaysar and Janelle. Howie confirms that he felt threatened by Nakomis. Sure, you guys… Nakomis was a huge threat. This whole alliance confuses me. When are they going to make smart decisions?

We get B&W footage of James winning HOH. He’s excited because it’s his first time. Hee. Howie yells like a jackass in the DR about celebrating James’ win and says that everyone can kiss his ass.

Danielle is ready to kiss ass. Perhaps she and Howie can get a mutually beneficial thing going here. I mean, since her boobies aren’t quite big enough for him, she must provide some other service, no?

In the backyard, Boogie and Will discuss whether they’ll go up. Boogie doesn’t think they will. They never do come to any conclusion about whom James will nominate. The point of this scene is that Will is weightlifting with the bar, and although I know that those things alone are heavy, it just looks silly. Like he’s lifting nothing.

We now get a montage of Chicken George vacuuming and cleaning. Aw… Chicken George! See, I’d totally be that person cleaning all the time. And apparently, this would make me a target as Howie says that this is the way George listens. James thinks he catches CG listening to him and Janelle. Oh no, CG! This is not looking good for you.

James calls everyone in to see his HOH room. No one cares. It’s red and black and there are a bunch of pictures of Sarah. James seems pretty happy, and I’m actually happy for him. James is totally a guy who would have broken my heart in high school.

Everyone else leaves and Season Six continues to revel in their hubris in the HOH room. There is lots of manly picking James up in bear hugs stuff. They talk strategery. I used to like these people. Now they just bore me. If they actually WERE targeting real threats, I’d be totally down with them. Essentially their target seems to be Chicken George. There’s something here about trying to call out the floaters down the line, but I just don’t really get the whole thing.

I hate those flames on the wall. They remind me of that unfortunate phase a bunch of my friends went through in college with the rockabilly and the swing dancing and the Betty Page bangs. And, you know, it should have been cool, but it was just so lame and affected. So, yeah, those flames just make me think “poseurs”. Which, actually, I guess totally works. Bravo CBS!

Dear God. We get a montage of Boogie working out. Sigh. Apparently he wants to get buff to compete with the guy rats he lives with. The editors treat us to him jumping rope and failing, complete with record scratches. He makes a lame joke about fourpackiraq and sixpackistan. Really, all the manboy needs to do is dress his age and forgo the mandanas and backwards ball caps and he’d look pretty good.

Okay… he’d look better… Okay, he’d look acceptable…

Okay… he’d look somewhat less like a crime against nature at least.

Will complains a lot. It bugs everyone. He does have a point about those cabinets near the ceiling though.

Will goes to talk to James in the HOH. James floats putting up Will and CG. James worries about Will actually going home this week so he is hesitant about putting him up. Will DRs that he couldn’t care less, and he wins me over with his proper use of grammar. I’m easy.

Jase and Howie play with an innertube. They are that bored. Jase makes up a stupid song about the innertube that is funny for about two seconds. Then he just. keeps. singing. Way to step all over the joke, dumb-dumb.

James discusses the Chicken George scenario with Erika and Marcelles (who?). Danielle is the lone voice of dissent. And as much as it pains me, she actually has a point. She says CG is the personal choice, but Jase is a bigger threat to James.

James babbles about how Chicken George doesn’t deserve to stay long because he doesn’t do anything. Dude, you are living in a house doing nothing for 3 months in the hopes of winning half a mil. Don’t be so sanctimonious. This is the thing that bugs me so much. Eff that whole “They aren’t playing the game” attitude.

Slop footage. It’s oatmeal, right? Stop being such babies.

They have the food competition. It’s very complicated, so I’ll just tell you that they get full food plus a catered meal for every day except Wednesday and Friday. Wednesday they get veggies, beer, bread and kumquats (the four major food groups!), and Friday they get veggies and beer (all I need, suckas!). Other highlights include Marcelles (who?) freaking out because everyone keeps yelling at him, Bookie “spazzin’” to Diane, and George “collapsing” after his turn.

Later, Janelle and Marcelles (who?) lament their suckitude. Marcelles is going for pathos here, but failing. Something about playing sports he didn’t want to play in high school and boo-freaking-who. Janelle spins it that people will underestimate her now because she keeps losing competitions. Man, I used to heart her so bad. Now… meh.

This episode will never end.

More random HG quirks. Boogie talks in his sleep. It’s weird and scares Janelle. I’m a sleeptalker too. Oh god, I have something in common with Boogie. Perhaps a trip to the sleep clinic is necessary.

Now we get Danielle. I don’t care about Danielle so I won’t recap her conversation with Kaysar about marriage and kids. She was 16 when she had her first kid, though. Wow. Still don’t care.

She cries about missing her kids, but… I don’t care. I am childless, so I totally resent the whole “people with children have way more in their life than those without” crap. I’m prepared to eat my words when I have kids in 15 years, but for now… suck it Danielle! I’m sure your kids miss you, but it was YOUR CHOICE to come into the house, so stop boo-hooing.

It is finally nomination day. Yay!

Will is orange from the spray tan he allows Erika to immerse him in. His face looks… well, if the words “Oompa-Loompa” are mentioned… they wouldn’t be exaggerations. That’s all I’m sayin’.

James nominates Will and Chicken George. Interestingly, Howie’s key is out last. I like that James spread his alliance’s keys out.

James says he nominated Dr. Will because Will has said he wants to go home. James then says he nominated George because of his eavesdropping. Will does not seem particularly worried. Chicken George, though, is pissed AWF! It’s ON!
