B&W Footage of the Nomination ceremony. We magically go to color.

James DRs that he nominated Chicken George because it’ll force the floaters to take a side later. He nominated Will because he’s a perfect pawn. CG is not happy. He’s worried about being up against Will.

Howie tries to hug Will who pushes him off. I imagine them getting a little summer home together down the line.

Will loves being nominated. Because he likes being the center of attention. And he likes being the underdog. Ha! Underdog.

George and James have a bit of a conflict. James is a bit hostile about CG’s lack of strategy. George tells him to chill. Then he DRs that he and James just don’t mesh. Well, I don’t think George meshes with anyone really.

Except Howie maybe. Howie likes George, but he DRs that he’s not gonna be sympathetic because it got him kicked out last year. Yeah, my enduring impression of Howie in S6 is “sympathetic to others”.

Boogie laughs about the fact that Will, “the greatest player to ever play this game” is the pawn this week. Oh, the hyperbole… it is thick in the air1

The general consensus is that the Chicken Man is done.

Jase goes to the HOH to talk to James and thanks him for not nominating him. Then he explains that he didn’t kiss James ass last night because it’s not his way.

James is so bugged by the fact that CG has no strategy. He says it would be okay if this was a regular season, but George is not acting enough like an all-star.

Jase and James chat and Jase talks about respecting the game and wanting to go head to head with James in week 10. Respecting the game. Yeah. They also hit my favorite topic – integrity. Or maybe that’s just foreshadowing whispering it in my ear.

Marcelles (who?) talks about who he’d kiss in the house. George, no. Kaysar, yes. Marcelles loves Kaysar. Who, is, apparently… musky. An afro-ed Marcelles says the “Iraqi peach” smells better than banana cupcakes. Banana Cupcakes? Where can I get some of those?

Later -

Oh. My. God. Jase…

… is rapping. For reals, y’all.

Will refers to them as “8 Mile”. Heh.

Kaysar is beat-boxing while Jase raps. Then, they go get Chicken George, they actually wake the poor guy up, and make him rap.

It’s painful. He tries to end it quickly, but they make him go on. Then George gets into it and starts insulting James, calling him both a dick and a prick (if I’m reading my big blank close captioning spaces right).

In the next segment, Danielle refers to Jase as an anime character because of how ripped he is. Heh. Then we get a montage of various houseguests doing their impressions of “The Jase Face”. Boogie’s sucks. Big surprise.

Chicken George DRs that he needs the Power of Veto. Bad! So bad! So, soo baaaaaaad!

He and Howie then share a tender moment in the kitchen. George gets fatherly and gives Howie a pep talk. Howie looks genuinely touched. Or maybe he’s practicing his Joey Tribiani School of Acting tricks. George also warns Howie against “the snake”, aka James. Howie ruins the mood with more of his endless Jedi talk.

It’s time for the veto ceremony! The rules have changed. Instead of the wheel, the three veto players pulls balls with names out of a bag. James picks Kaysar. Will picks the “players choice” ball and picks “Michael” aka Boogie. I like that Will uses his actual human name. George pulls Jase’s ball.

And no, that’s not a double entendre. It’s not even a single one. Because I refuse to think about Jase’s balls.

Janelle is the host. The game involves a meter with various tasks on it that each of them must do. If they refuse to do the task, they are out. Each task gets progressively more challenging. They each hold up a green or red block/ball indicating their willingness to do each task. They all choose to eat the slop, which is the first task. They all bitch and moan. It’s oatmeal! Satan’s Oatmeal (tm Danielle) maybe, but oatmeal nonetheless. Will and Boogie pretty much immediately bow out. I believe Will’s choice was a strategic move. Or at least, he’ll say it was.

Next, they have to burn their clothes. James, Kaysar, Jase, and George all agree to do so. Jase rips his tank off. I wonder if he buys them special with the trick seam down the middle so they rip like that? I bet he does. I mean, he’s built, but he’s gym-strong. I wonder if his muscles serve any real practical purpose.

The next task involves the other HGs writing whatever they want on each of our four remaining players. Lame. Although it’s funny to see that someone wrote something on George that had to be blurred out.

Next is “human blueberry”. They all dunk themselves in a bathtub of blueberry juice. James describes them all as the following:

Chicken George: Fat ass smurf
Kaysar: Iraqi Smurf
Jase: Vanity Smurf
Himself: Skinny, Manorexic Smurf.

Oh, James… is that a cry for help? Also… “Iraqi Smurf”? You can do better than that my little Manorectic.

The next task is to forgo competing in next week’s veto competition in favor of staying in this one. James chooses the red ball. As does Jase. Kaysar and George decide to stay in. Kaysar is the one taking it for the team at this point.

Which involves… shaving their heads. And Kaysar has to do it at this point. George immediately tries to cut a deal with Kaysar. He says if he cuts him some slack, he’ll remember it.

Marcelles (who?) is sad that Kaysar is cutting his hair.

Poor George. I mean, I get that he’s annoying. But he gets so much flack for being older and fat and less attractive than the rest of them. Shut up superficial “beautiful people”!

They shave their heads. We go to tiebreaker. The question is: how many consecutive days (out of the 60 left in the season) would you be willing to be on slop? Kaysar says 15 (wimp!). George goes for the full 60 days. George is serious! He gets the veto.

James is pissed. And whiny. But, come on babe, you willingly left that veto competition. So, too bad.

Season Six have a summit meeting and discuss Plan B. And whether or not to sell it over the counter! Oh wait, different Plan B.

Basically, Janelle and Kaysar want to go after Jase. James is against this idea. Until…

Kaysar talks to Jase about this plan. Jase floats Boogie’s name, but Kaysar says no because though they want Boogie gone, no one would vote him out. And, they want to keep Will, so Jase has to go. Jase is pissed about being “backdoored”. Um… no you weren’t jackhole. He storms outside, throws stuff around, pouts and generally makes a big fat ass out of himself.

He accuses James of taking the “bitch route”. James tries to use logic and reason (or James’ version thereof) to explain why he needs to put Jase up. Jase is on a roll and goes off about integrity and being backdoored.

James again says he isn’t being backdoored (he is right. the term “backdoored” implies forethought, which S6 has not been too big on this season). Then Jase essentially completely loses it and starts attacking everyone. He oddly targets Marcelles, who pulls a “don’t even!”

This is kind of awesome. Jase is yelling about taking out Season Six and Marcelles; own duplicitous attitude about this. Marcelles is fighting back. I have no idea what is going on, but it’s fantastic. Marcelles rightly calls Jase on the fact that no one knew James was going to put Jase up until Jase threw this “hissyfit”. Jase yells about calling people out and playing the game. He tries to make a case to James that he has the votes to get out Marcelles. Everyone else is sort of quietly watching, looking really uncomfortable. Like mom and dad are fighting because mom won’t relinquish the vodka bottle and dad’s home late again and mom just knows he was with that bitch Tammy from the secretarial pool…

We go to commercial off Marcelles yelling at Jase that he now understands why all the Season Five people hated Jase.

And we’re back. Everyone is quiet and uncomfortable. Clueless George opens the door and calls them all in for the veto ceremony. Jase DRs that he freaked out because he’s a true competitor and he knows if he can compete he can save himself – but being backdoored bugs him. You weren’t backdoored! They wanted the Chickenman out. That failed and so they got smart and decided to nominate you. But, you know, Jase is the center of his universe. The gravity must be terrible.

George gives Will the floor to make his speech about why the veto should be used on him. Will, sensing that attention has shifted from him for 2 seconds, makes the following speech. He first asserts that he would like to speak to the whole house as opposed to the veto holder or HOH. Then he says, “This is truly an all star season because I’m astonished by your gameplay here. Now a lot of you have come up to me and said ‘Will you really don’t seem like you’re into it’, ‘you don’t seem like you want to play’ and you said, ‘why, what was the reason for that?’ And I said to myself, ‘I don’t know.’” So, apparently he had a heart to heart with himself. And this is the conclusion he came to. In Season 2, there were a loot of people he hated, which made it easy for him to be motivated and gave him a reason to play and fight. So, he asked himself why he hasn’t been able to find that motivation this time. Now, I go back to directly quoting Will.

“I thought it was because I really liked everyone here. But then I realized it was the opposite of that. I can’t find an individual to hate, because I hate you all. There’s no one I hate more than anyone else.”

Oh Will, you talk so pretty. He then says he’s asking everyone to vote him out. He says if they don’t, he’ll throw every competition, including the food comps. Because George is on slop, he’ll do his best to ensure they’re all on slop. He then encourages George to use the veto on himself because George “is a badass”.

All, in all, a decent speech. I mean, it’s total bullshit, but it is amusing.

George stands to give his speech. He takes an opposite approach. He says he’s honored to be there with all of them. That he’s there to play the game. He says that even Will is a good guy. Then he repeats over and over that he wants to play the game. He talks about getting a second chance. It’s all very inspirational.

Or it would be… if it was about surviving cancer or winning the big playoff game or, you know… actually doing something. But, George, sweetie-pie… it’s a summer reality competition. I think maybe you’re perception is a bit skewed. I’m worried for you, hon.

George, naturally, vetoes himself. James nominates Jase in his stead.

George DRs about the ceremony. He seems really taken aback.

Will DRs that he’s made the target on his back so big that it’s invisible. And, yeah, I get him on that… but I don’t think he really needed to. I mean, I never watched Season 2, so this is my first run-in with the Evil Doctor (except for his brief appearance on Cold Turkey, that PAX quit smoking reality show, in which he gave the HGs physicals. He has a great bedside manner, by the way), and I have sort of enjoyed him. And I enjoyed his little speech tonight. But… I think he’s overplaying it. He should save some room for later.

James remarks that Jase shot himself in the foot. He adds that Will and Boogie shot him in the other.

Jase harps on about being backdoored. Baby, you aren’t that important.

Who will be evicted next? Stay tuned for the next exciting recap!
