Previously… the game was sucking as it appeared that Mike Boogie might win the whole stupid thing. Operation Double Date was in full swing and Will, Janelle and Boogie were planning to evict Erika this week.

I don’t approve of Julies outfit today. Her shirt wants to be camouflage but it’s not so much which is fine but I am just not liking it.
Finally! Sequester house! We never got to see James arrival there but it doesn’t matter because they are packing their bags and leaving due to hurricane John. They leave this fabulous house in Mexico and get put up in what looks like someone’s house I swear.
Not a vacation home at all.
Howie puts on his goggles and flippers and jumps into the pool. Marcellus says in his best Marcellus impersonation, “We need more chlorine in the pool. Something in there needs to die.” Howie tells Marci that his attitude is what needs to die. He continues, “Negative 24/7 everyday for the rest of your life.”
M: I’m only negative because I’m around you. Otherwise I’m a peach.
H: You didn’t get voted out because you are a strong player they voted you out because they hated your guts!
Marcellus sits up in his lounge chair.
M: You think that people actually like you?! You’re an idiot.
H: People hated you just for you!
M: You are a big fat oversized fingerless f_cking idiot!

Cut to an interview with Howie where he basically says he can’t say anything nice about Marcellus and proceeds to list the things that bug him. Annoying, relentless and a baby among other things. These same things can be said about Howie so maybe he should just quit while he’s ahead? Except that he’s not so he should just shut the hell up because I’m reeeaaally started to dislike him quite a bit.
Meanwhile poor James is sitting next to the pool trying to read a book and has to play referee for these two. He tells us that he can’t wait for another houseguest to come along so Howie can focus on them and leave Marcellus alone.

Cut to the boys waiting by the door for the next evictee. James says he hopes it’s not Danielle. So of course the door swings open and it’s Danielle. He turns away obviously not happy and Marcellus always having to take center stage shrieks, “NOOOOOOOO!!!”
I think Howie could have cared less either way as long as it wasn’t Janelle.

They toast Dani and Howie hopes he’s sees Chicken George’s ass coming through that door next. So because I think I’ve figured out how this whole reality television editing works now, we cut to George sneaking around the side of the house. I think he’s lost and seems to be wearing the type of headgear that a boxer would wear. He finally goes inside where everyone is all surprised and crap.

They sit down to watch the show footage and Howie starts in with his crap and gets in this lame “fight” with George. “You’re a waste of an HOH!” I say that Howie is acting like a child but George isn’t helping much by just yelling “shut up!” over and over again. I’m not recapping this argument as they just yell over each other the whole time.
I seriously can not wait to see Will in there. He could really work with this and get people to freak out even more!

Will says Operation Double Date is working too well. They are a bit worried about Erika. I don’t think they completely trust her because Booger doesn’t have her the way Will has Janelle. They are still pitting the girls against one another which is getting so old right now. Will tells Janelle the plan is still for her to win POV and evict Erika and they tell the same to Erika except that she needs to evict Janelle.
Janelle DR’s that Will always says he plays emotionless and she says she can’t do that and she thinks Will is using that against her. Well DUH!

Ok, the POV comp. I don’t know why I just don’t feel like recapping these things. It seems pointless. They each have a vat of goop which contains photos of all the houseguests. On a wall they each have a star with different clues on each side of the star (10 clues). Things like “never won veto” and “week two nominees”
Does this even make sense to you? I’m trying. They have to run to the goop vat and pull pictures and put them in the appropriate place around the star. Will starts to explain what his strategy was for trying to win this competition he then says he doesn’t really care because he’s not going home this week (oh the awesomely sweet irony! But I still love you! Crap.)

Will then pulls a picture out of the goop and has no clue who it is. He thinks its Jennifer Aniston. Sadly it was a picture of Allison and if I was Jennifer Aniston I would be DEEPLY offended.
Booger is running back and forth moving pictures and hitting the buzzer to see if he’s right. He’s quite sure they are correct and can’t understand what is wrong. Turns out he left one picture at the bottom of his vat o’goop and didn’t notice he had a blank space for it on his puzzle. YAAAAY!!!
Basically it comes down to Erika and Janelle. They are both showing 4 incorrect but Janelle finally gets it and wins POV yet again! You go!!! Turns out is was Diane and Nakomis giving both girls a hard time so… go figure.
Will celebrates by tossing Janelle in one of the pools of goop. Erika checks her board against Janelle’s and missed by one. Erika is frustrated because she was so close.

Erika says this veto is so important because you can not only save yourself but you also get to choose who gets evicted. After the comp she and Janelle go for a smoke.
Erika tells Janelle “I know you’re evicting me” and Janelle says “how do you know?”.
Is she serious? There are only four people left and she doesn’t share a bed with Erika every night. Common sense, dear. Erika tries to hint around that Janelle can’t beat Will and how much the people in the jury house would love her if she sent Will there.

Boogers next DR annoys me with his whole ‘have your cake and eat it too’ comment that I just want to gag. To sum it up he is happy to have Janelle do the dirty work. She evicts Erika and he looks like the nice supportive boyfriend.

Erika and Janelle are in the HOH room. Erika is trying again with Janelle. Janey says she has been lied to so much in this game that she’s not sure what she wants to do. Erika makes the awesome point that “You know who the biggest liar is in game. You know who that is, right?” Janelle says “yes” and Erika asks “who?”. Janelle pauses and says “Boogie.” BOOGIE! I love Janelle but sometimes….I don’t know. Erika shakes her head no and sort of looks away in disgust just as I did. Finally Janelle giggles and says “Will”.
Erika says she won’t take Boogie to the final two with her. She swears on her mother (oh no, not that old gag). Erika DR’s that she’s not going out without a fight and she’s not going to let those boys run her out of there. I am starting to like Erika for the first time this season. Plus, her hating Booger helps immensely!

The girls head outside to the red couch for a smoke. The boys are in the yard working out. Erika tells Janelle “They’ve lied to everybody on the way out this door. Why let them get to the final two? They think you and I are a joke. Like they’ve manipulated us”
She explains that they have pinned them against each other and why should they let them continue to do this. I am loving this conversation. DO IT JANEY! DO IT!!!
Erika finally says, “I will take you to the final two and I will kick them out.”. Woo hoo!!! Janey thinks for a long time then looks at Erika and whispers “Promise?” Erika promises! Janey asks her if she’d like some wine so they head back inside to talk some more. Meanwhile the boys are sweating it in the corner of the back yard and not just from working out. Will says “Boogie I’m going home”. He DR’s that operation double date is becoming operation mistake. Do ya think? Back outside the ingenious Boogie says “This is our show and these bitches think they are going to steal it from us”.
God I hope so!!! I want nothing more than to see this asshat evicted!
Inside Erika and Janelle toast the boys versus the girls plan. Janelle DR’s that she still isn’t sure this is her best move.

Late that night Janelle gets out of bed and heads outside to smoke. Big surprise. She needs to stop that. Get the patch girlfriend! Erika hears her and follows her outside to join her. She tells Janelle that booting Will is honestly her best move. To quote again, because it’s easier:
E: I mean, think about the things that he’s done, in the game, to you.
J: I know.
E: Didn’t he promise you that Howie would be safe. Why would you believe him in any other aspect?
J: It’s complicated.
E: I think they’re a couple of liars.
And here’s where it all starts to come together for these two. FINALLY.
J: Did he tell you that you’re part of Chill Town?
E: Yes he did!
(laughter ensues from both then gasps of shock and awe)
E: Oh my god.
Erika then rehashes the storage room meeting that day when Will said to Erika “this is chill town right here we use ninja like moves” then Janelle laughs and says “he said that to me too!”. The girls are really bonding over this and laughing.
E: Oh my god, they think they’ve got us
J: I’m so embarrassed for my actions. I totally screwed up this whole game.
They think people must have been laughing at them for the whole game. I’ll co-sign that.

I believe this is the conversation that sealed the deal for Janey. Or did it? Stay tuned to find out. Except that we all know what happened so who am I trying to kid?!

Back to Julie. She interviews Mike. Who cares. Then she tries to quiz them all about their “relationships” and what will happen outside of the house. They all cop to “definitely friends outside of the house”. Booger tries to make a final two funny at Erika’s expense which is just going to come back and slap him in the face soon.
It’s time for the live veto and eviction!! Shhh!
Janelle vetos herself.
Mike yammers on about how he can’t believe he is going to do this but he has to nominate Will. Whatever guy.
Julie asks Erika why she should stay. She tells Janelle she is a fierce competitor and intelligent woman. She has faith that she’ll make the right choice.
Will brings on the funny saying that there has been a lot of hatred in the house this summer and a lot of that hatred is now in the jury house. He says it’s all directed at him and he hopes that for his own personal safety that she will keep him in the house.
While he speaks Janey has a sweet smile on her face but not her flirty smile more like an evil smile.
Ok. Janelle is ready to make her decision. SHHHHHH!!!!!!!
J: Well, this is an extremely hard position to be in. I’m really friends with both of you. Umm, Will you are the closest person in the house to me. Umm, I feel like this summer I made a lot of mistakes in this house and after tonight I’m done making mistakes.
And for Marcellus and Howie….I choose to evict you Will. …sorry.

I am impressed. Way to go Janey! Hopefully Erika is on the level. I think she is. I feel that she totally despises Boogie. AS SHE SHOULD. He is pitiful.
The following shot of shocked Booger is just awesome. You can tell he’s pissed off but just doesn’t know what hit him. I love it!
Erika and Janelle head to the bathroom to quietly celebrate. They start getting ready for the HOH comp.

Will and Julie. She asks how the puppetmaster lost control and he really just dances around the answer which annoys me. Every question she asks he says “I just did the best I possibly could” “putting all your ducks in a row” and “at the end of the day”.
I’m not going to even bother since we learn nothing new from this interview. It’s like pulling teeth for Julie and I think she just wants to hit him. Plus he’s totally kissing her ass since he was ordered weeks ago not to talk to Julie during the live shows.

Let’s go to the goodbye messages. The best one by far is Erikas. She has on no make up, her hair is a mess. She looks like she hasn’t slept for days and she is happy. She may even be drunk.
“It looks like the jig is up kid. You’ve been found out and so has Boogie” She hopes Howie doesn’t hurt him too badly at sequester. I think Will is going to talk up Erika’s game in sequester and get her the votes to piss of Janelle. But I hope he doesn't because I really want Janelle to win. But at this point, Booger NOT winning is a win for everyone!

The first part of the HOH is about to begin. Houseguests must stand on a large volcano which just reminds me of Close Encounters when Richard Dreyfus made one just like it in his house. They stand on some of those indoor rock climbing things and then hold a giant key above them with both hands.
After literally five seconds asshat man shouts out “hey Julie!” and I think she considers not responding but finally does. “yes?”
Asshat: Remember Richard Hatch?
Julie: Yes
Asshat: They both have to take me to the finals.
And he jumps off. He is being all smug and thinks he’s the greatest. I’m sure he’ll comment later about it being DOOG tv. Loser.
Leaving Janelle and Erika wondering what they should do. I know Erika had mentioned throwing it to Janelle if it was just the two of them but I don’t think they expected this.
We cut to a commercial and when we return Janelle has been eliminated. They show footage of Booger jumping off the volcano and when Janey turned to see what was going on she took one hand off of her key. So Erika wins part one and that was probably the shortest endurance comp ever!
Who will win part two of the HOH competition? Tune in Thursday people! This show is finally fun and exciting.
I loved this episode. LOVED. IT.
