Sunday & Tuesday:
Natalie and Kevin, who have decided to lie to Jeff about Russell have decided to continue with this lie, calling Russell disloyal, and saying they would be better to take to the final four over Russell or Michelle. So, Jeff comes up with a plan to nominate Kevin and Natalie and backdoor Russell. So, Jeff did just that, as we see Natalie and Kevin nominated. On Tuesday, Natalie and Kevin decide to talk to each other about getting Jeff out if one of them wins HOH. Which, I think works as Jeff is a jury threat, but clearly means they’d be just as disloyal as Jeff and what they made Russell out to be. So, Jeff wins the power of veto, and decided to take Kevin off the chopping block. Russell says there’d be Hell if he was put on the block and get backdoored, and as he expected, he got what he expected, and was placed on the chopping block.
Thursday:
On Thursday, Russell remains bitter about being put on the block, and goes off to attack Jeff and Jordan. Jordan and Jeff fight back, with words, and Jordan chest bumped Russell, as he called her fat, and told her to eat cookie dough. Russell, again, uses the “technotronics” insult, on Jeff over again. So, Jeff and Jordan are pretty sure they don’t like Russell anymore, but hey, it’s their jury vote. It was then time for the eviction ceremony. By a vote of 3-0, Russell was evicted. Russell left in a very classy way, however, and that was respectable. In the HOH competition, the Housemates had to transfer hot chocolate across a slippery graham cracker and fill the large container with the hot chocolate and get the marshmallow out. The HOH competition was left to hangover the next episode, but Kevin was the winner in the next episode anyways.
I personally feel that taking out Russell was a good move for him because it’s pretty much easier to beat Kevin and Natalie over Russell any day. However, with Russell out, this should backfire for three reasons. One, Natalie and Kevin secretly want him out, so if they got power (which Kevin did) he could be in trouble. Two, with Russell out, that makes Jeff the only physical threat, meaning he’ll have to win these last two vetoes not matter what if he wants to walk his way to the final three and final two, and third, Russell left the game over a lie that Kevin and Natalie made up. Sure it’s part of the game, but Jeff got played and Russell was the victim, now I just won’t mind seeing Jeff become the victim next.
Out of these final five, I really don’t seem to care who’s going to win. Jeff, Kevin, Natalie, and Michelle have all done their great deal of backstabbing, I suppose, whereas Jordan just floats along, as she says Together, they are a package, when it’s more like Jeff is just Jordan’s package. I actually don’t care to see Kevin, Natalie or Michelle win, and I don’t know where the jury stands to guess on anything.

Survivor 19: Samoa - Cast & Twist Announcement
I’m ready to begin blogging for Survivor Samoa. Right here on CBS’s website, (http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor/), they have announced the cast, and they have announced that unlike what they said, back in the spring about having eighteen survivors, there are twenty this time, so I expect a final three to be in play. Here is the promo that explains that this season of Survivor welcomes us the “biggest villain ever”. (http://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/archives/survivor_samoa/2009_Aug_26_samoa_preview) So, without further ado, I will announce these twenty Survivors, and based off of first impressions, see if they have any potential to go very far.
ASHLEY - She’s a 22 year old spa sales rep from Maple Grove, Minnesota. She’s described in her bio she’s extremely flirty, which in Survivor, we see work out some times (Like for Parvati) or not at all (like for Sydney). So, it’s hard to tell how her flirting strategy will work out. Anyways, she’s young, and nice looking, and very bubbly, like BBUS11 Jordan, so I can see myself liking her.
BEN - He’s a 28 year old “mixologist” from Los Angeles, California. First off, I think this guy must know Memphis from BBUS10, as I thought it was just his word, but apparently, it’s the new LA work for bartender. I really see him as a strong competitor, who looks like he’ll be a hard worker. I really like how he is into motorcycles, and knowing that’s a turn on for some women, maybe flirty Ashley is looking for the bad boy type.
BETSY - She’s a 48 year old police officer from Campton, New Hampshire. Yup, New Hampshire gets represented this time, since season two, and I really hopes she makes my birth state proud. Anyways, she looks like she could be one of the stronger older females that we have, so I actually have high hopes for her. Go Betsy, make New Hampshire look less embarrassing, unlike Debb Eaton.
BRETT - He’s a 23 year old T-Shirt designer from Los Angeles, California. He is described to be very flirty, and says that’ll be one of his biggest assets in the game. When I first saw him, he reminded me of this diehard Survivor fan type, instead he claims he’s very funny. I can see him looking like one of the okay Survivors, but I don’t see him standing out at all yet.
DAVE - He’s a 38 year old fitness instructor from Los Angeles, California, which so far, he’s the third Californian I’ve seen today. He looks like he’ll be one of those types who will cause conflict, he almost could very well be this biggest villain CBS talked about. Either that, or I do see him making it far, and being a good, decent player to the game, though.
ELIZABETH - She’s a 33 year old South Korean Attorney from New York City, New York, who isn’t sure if she’s going to tell these other Survivors she’s an attorney. She seems like she’ll remind me of Shii Ann, which could be great, as Shii Ann was one of my all-time favourites. She looks like she’ll be in good condition socially, physically, and mentally stable enough to do well.
ERIK - He’s a 28 year old Bartender from Ontario, California. This guy really concerns me, and I hope they vote him off, as he claims he’s a “proud womanizer” who can date four to five women with no problem. I hope all of the men feel intimidated by him, and they choose to vote him out, because I don’t like men like that. Anyways, I also hope the women don’t all want to be with him, otherwise we’d be watching a troubled season.
JAISON - He’s a 28 year old Law Student from Chicago, Illinois. He’s famous for climbing up to Angel Falls in Venezuela, and wanting to climb Mount Everest, then snowboard all the way down. He really looks like a very intelligent, adventurous guy who could do very well in this game, but I’m not sure if he name is pronounced “Jason” just with an “I”, or if it’s pronounced differently. Anyways, I really see him doing well, or becoming a huge fan favourite on this season.
JOHN - He’s a 25 year old rocket scientist from Los Angeles, California who has traveled to various parts of the world, including Canada, South Africa, South America, and Europe, and plans on using his worldly diversity to get ahead in the game, which I don’t think I’ve seen before, so this could be interesting. He seems like he’ll be a strong athletic competitor, but I don’t know if he’ll be one of the best.
KELLY - She’s a 25 year old hairstylist from Los Angeles, but was born and raised in Wilmington, Delaware, which is the crappy state I currently reside in! She seems like she isn’t cut out for this, and I don’t see much from her, but she is pretty hot, to say something good about her. Since she’s Delaware’s first, I hope she doesn’t embarrass that state, unlike Dan/Andrew (TAR13).
LAURA - She’s a 39 year old Office Manager from Salem, Oregon. She claims to be the fit version of Sarah Palin, and is a very conservative Christian, and is also the first Hawaiian descendant female (Brad S13, the first male). She has kids, and for a young age, has grandkids. I really like the fact she’s a sister in Christ, but I hope she plays the game spiritually smart, if at all possible, yet. Laura is probably going to be one of my early show favourites, but I will try not to really pick a pre show favourite, because last time I did (with Candace) it didn’t work out.
MARISA - She’s a 26 year old student from Cincinnati, Ohio. She was a hard farm worker who has studied abroad in places like El Salvador and Spain. I think she will be the boring chick who I won’t remember after this season. However, who knows, I said the same thing about Erinn last season. She is pretty beautiful, though.
MICK - He’s a 33 year old Doctor from Los Angeles, California. Again, this over usage of Los Angeles residents is getting to be annoying. Mick seems like the smart guy, who will probably be a strategic threat, if anything. However, he just looks like one of the Survivors I’ll always feel neutral about. I don’t expect too much from him at all really.
MIKE - He’s a 62 year old personal chef from Marina Del Rey, California. He’s the oldest Survivor this season, so that’s an automatic hindrance to these challenges, a strategy dating all the way back to season one (Sonja). I also thinks he reminds me of Dr. Phil. Him being a huge fan of the show, at his age, I’m glad at least he took the effort to at least get into shape by losing thirty pounds.
MONICA - She’s a 25 year old Law Student from San Diego, California. She’s described as exotic and flirty, and claims to be much like Parvati & Amanda from Survivor: Micronesia. I’m not sure if she’s biracial, but she’s also attractive. However, I don’t know where she’ll stand in the game, and I hope she’s not like Paloma or Carolina through.
NATALIE - She’s a 26 year old Pharmaceutical sales rep from Van Buren, Arkansas. She’s the southern belle type who claims to be very competitive. She however, looks also very boring, and I sense there will be more boring people this season, as we are seeing twenty people. I’ll explain more of that later. She’s also attractive too, so that’s a plus.
RUSSELL H. - He’s a 36 year old Multi-Millionaire Oil Company owner from Dayton, Texas. He says he’s not out to make friends, which nobody is, unless you’re on Paris Hilton’s My New BFF, but he says everyone will want to be his friend. I don’t know if the everyone’s hero strategy will work again, but hey, it worked for JT, so it could happen.
RUSSELL S. - He’s a 42 year old attorney from Glenside, Pennsylvania. He says he’s going to cut off his dreadlocks if he wins Survivor, but let’s just hope they don’t have that performed on the reunion show. This is also like , the fourth person in the law field so far this season. He looks like he’ll be an OK Survivor, I don’t know how I feel about him just yet.
SHANNON - She’s a 45 year old ex marine, now a sales rep from Renton, Washington. She seems committed to her work, and plans to be committed to Survivor. As this season’s oldest woman, I think she’s actually more of a fighting chance type of woman, like Twila. She also looks like an ok, player though. I think she’s got a better shot than what Gillian and Sandy had.
YASMIN - She’s a 33 year old hairstylist from Los Angeles, California. With a nickname like Sassy Yassy, she could be very well sassy, and I actually don’t have a problem with that kind of attitude, as long as it’s not a stereotype. Yasmin seems like the type who’ll be one of the most respected Survivors of the season, I don’t know why though.
This season is not good with statewide diversity, as this season has ten people from California, which is half the cast, and has, like four people in law fields. I really think there’s a great deal of good cast members, the one Survivor I’m skeptical about is Erik, the “proud womanizer”. I also don’t like the fact we’re getting twenty Survivors, simply because all of the Seasons with more than eighteen Survivors (Palau, Cook Islands, Fiji, Micronesia), we get a lot of boring, under edited people.
I would have to say that the three women who stood out the most are Betsy (NH Pride), Laura (Christian Pride), and Elizabeth (Potential Shii Ann?). I would have to say my three favourite guys of this pre-show are Russell H., Brett, and Jaison. I think one of those six could be potential winners. I would say I hope the women do well this season, and not get to flirtatious like what three of them said in their bios. Anyways, this looks like it could be a very good season, I just hope the fact it has twenty people on it isn’t such a bad thing.
While reading the Survivor post on Reality Blurred, I learned there’s a Chief twist revealed, where in contrast to voting a team member out based on first impressions. They’ll probably tie it into Samoan culture. The tribes get to vote for one member to be a chief on their tribe. I think that’s a nice twist, because it’s prefect in changing someone’s strategy, and this twist should do this big time, as long as nobody pulls a GC and quits their leadership position. I really think this is going to be a fun t\season. There’s no word out on whom I can predict as the Survivors’ biggest villain to date yet, nor can I tell if this chief twist will lead to that.
ASHLEY - She’s a 22 year old spa sales rep from Maple Grove, Minnesota. She’s described in her bio she’s extremely flirty, which in Survivor, we see work out some times (Like for Parvati) or not at all (like for Sydney).

BBUS11 - Jordan wins veto & Lydia is evicted
Beforehand:
Natalie received a phone call from her dad, as she says this week was pretty bad for her, and Natalie feels some comfort is knowing that Natalie’s dad and boyfriend watch the show together. Then, Natalie, Lydia, and Kevin try to tell Jeff a lie about Russell and Michelle making final two deals with Michelle. Jeff looked as he bought the lie, and he and Jordan planned on getting a nominee vetoed or voting Russell out next week. Personally I hope this doesn’t happen, because it could mess up Jeff’s game by keeping Natalie and Kevin in the game, ass they’ll get the votes from Jessie and Lydia. Then, Natalie and Lydia finally come to an agreement about Jessie trying to pit Lydia and Natalie against each other in a love triangle. So, They both agree to give Jessie some heck for that when one of them entered the jury house.
Veto competition, Veto Ceremony, and Eviction ceremony:
In the veto competition the housemates had to determine if a phrase Julie Chen was before or after another phrase Julie said. It was between Michelle and Jordan as they went all the way to tiebreaker, where Jordan was the eventual winner of the veto competition. During the commercial break, we see Kevin, Jeff, and Jordan in the spa room. Ultimately, Jordan decided not to use the power of veto, leaving Lydia and Natalie on the block. It was time for the eviction, and by a vote of three to one, Lydia was eviction. Lydia decided to only say goodbye to her Sugar bear, Kevin, and then leave the house. Then, it was time for the HOH competition where the housemates had dump cans into one of two tubes and fill them up to get a total of 24 cans. The challenge was immediately left as a cliffhanger, and will go on to the next episode.
This season is actually turning out a bit okay, now. While it had a bad start seeing Laura and Casey go and see Jessie control everything, I was glad that things turned around epically enough to make this season be good enough. I really hope Natalie and Kevin go pretty soon, I don’t think either one of them were decent players, but they were nice people, most of the time, and I believe they’d make pretty louse and easy winners. I think the best winners would be Jeff or Russell, but the only way that would happen is if they were the final two together. I really would love to See Jordan win, and seeing we may get a bitter jury, I believe it would be epic if that happened. Michelle, well, she’d be an ok winner, but I think she’s prety dead at third or fourth, and I fell she’s the bottom of the alliance.
Love: Jordan, Jeff, Russell,
Like: Michelle, Natalie, and Kevin

BBUS11 - Chima Ejected & Jordan HOH
The Nominees, Chima & Natalie up:
Since this week was originally going to be a double eviction week, I was originally planning to make two posts this week, but since Big Brother had an ejection occur, I’ll make that the first of two posts of the week. So, let me tell you about Big Brother’s gotta be best episode in a long time. But first, I’ll start with Michelle getting crowned as HOH. What had to be one of the most awkward and random things on the show was Chima, Natalie, and Lydia crying of Jessie’s eviction like a funeral, as if he actually died or something. It was almost like a funeral, but it was funny, so maybe not exactly not like a funeral. Then, Michelle was telling the housemates she wanted Chima out. This made Russell and Jeff very happy. So, at the nomination ceremony, it was Chima and Natalie who were nominated.
Chima’s Ejection:
It all started when the housemates got the chance to practice for the veto competition when Chima was told to put her microphone back on. Kevin goes and gets her microphone and she throws it in the pool. Then Chima continues to refuse to put her microphone back on as Kevin, Lydia, and Natalie are trying to convince her to put it back on. It didn’t work, Allison Grodner, who basically, owned Chima called her to the diary room and Chima didn’t even get to sit in the chair, she was immediately escorted out as she was finally ejected. I feel this had to be one of the best moments this show has had in a very long time.
The Aftermath:
Lydia tries to tell Kevin and Natalie about Chima choosing to make her decisions on her own. Then, next is the HOH competition where the housemates had to play a miniature golf type game. It was last between Jordan and Jeff where Jeff threw the competition and gave it to Jordan. This made Lydia go completely psycho as she calls Jordan a hoe and goes off on Jeff. Later, Lydia begins dumping all of Michelle’s beer and goes off on her. Lydia claims she should be the next one to go. At the nomination ceremony, it was Lydia and Natalie nominated, as Jordan claims she wants Natalie out. This episode showed Lydia looking really stupid, saying stuff about Chima making her own decisions which is true, then Lydia turns around and acts just as bitter.
Love: Jordan, Jeff, Russell, Michelle
Meh: Kevin
Dislike: Chima, Natalie, Lydia

It was last between Jordan and Jeff where Jeff threw the competition and gave it to Jordan. This made Lydia go completely psycho as she calls Jordan a hoe and goes off on Jeff. Later, Lydia begins dumping all of Michelle’s beer and goes off on her. Lydia claims she should be the next one to go. At the nomination ceremony, it was Lydia and Natalie nominated, as Jordan claims she wants Natalie out. This episode showed Lydia looking really stupid, saying stuff about Chima making her own decisions which is true, then Lydia turns around and acts just as bitter.
Love: Jordan, Jeff, Russell, Michelle
Meh: Kevin
Dislike: Chima, Natalie, Lydia

BBUS11 - Coup D’Etat used as Jessie is evicted
Sunday - Russell & Lydia nominated:
Chima was the winner of the HOH competition, which was the worst case scenario for Russell. During the day, it was a famous actor Jeremy Pivot (sp?) who entered the house to announce the HHN competition. (Hey, it was better than another former housemate, I guess). So, at the end of the nominations ceremony, it was Russell nominated for past conflicts with Chima and Lydia nominated, mostly as a pawn. I thought this was Chima’s only good move she could make, but It didn’t matter as I figured Jeff was going to use the Coup D’Etat to mess everything up for her anyways. Now, come to think of it, she better be glad she didn’t nominate Michelle over Lydia because, given Michelle’s the current HOH, that wouldn’t have worked.
Tuesday - Kevin wins POV & doesn’t use it:
On Tuesday, Russell is upset about getting nominated, and clearly states he’ll fight to stay in the game. As soon as they picked veto players, and as soon as Jessie wasn’t picked, I was happy, as I figured it is the end of Jessie now. So, during the veto competition, it was a close race between Russell and Kevin. It was Kevin’s technique of getting the eggs out that earned him the veto. After the veto competition, Chima and Russell go at it as Chima calls Russell a terrorist, as Russell claims that was Racist. It can be, since it was when Ivette said it to Kaysar in season six. So, at the veto ceremony, Kevin decided he needs to look at after himself and decides not to veto Lydia, his close ally.
Thursday -Jessie Evicted as Coup D’Etat used & Michelle’s HOH:
Russell decides to go and talk to Michelle, asking for votes, as he fails to do so, since Jessie ruined that for him, he feels it’s the Coup D’Etat that may save him. It was almost time for the eviction ceremony when Julie Chen asked if the power is to be used. Jeff stood up, said he’s got the power, and immediately nominated Jessie and Natalie. At the eviction ceremony, by a vote of 3-2, Jessie was evicted, becoming the first member of the jury. It really loved how crazy that episode was, and it’ll be just as crazy as the double eviction next week. This season went from a bad start to almost one of the best seasons, just don’t let Chima get too far, of course. That eviction was so Epic, man, I can’t believe Jessie got screwed by two America’s Choice Twists throughout Big Brother. Also, Michelle as Hoh is going to be a nice trip, she’ll probably be walked all over next episode, if she gets Chima out, she’ll obviously move up on the liability scale.

BBUS11 - Ronnie Evicted by 3-4 vote
Sunday - Ronnie & Lydia nominated:
In the cliffhanger HOH competition, it was left between Russell and Jeff. Then, Jeff stuck a deal with Russell, hoping he, along with Jordan is safe. Russell as HOH got Jessie, Ronnie, Natalie, and Chima all nervous. So, the four of them all try to gang up on Lydia and Kevin who are simply floating along to whoever has power. Then, Lydia says to Russell that Chima wanted Russell backdoored on week two. So, at the nomination ceremony, Russell kept his word to a new ally, Jeff, and decided not to nominate Jordan and Jeff, but to nominate Lydia and Ronnie.
Tuesday - Michelle wins POV, does not use it.
In this episode, after Russell nominated Ronnie and Lydia, it’s often sure that Jeff, Jordan, and Kevin will vote for Ronnie, while Chima, Jessie, and Natalie will vote for Lydia. This leaves Michelle as a swing vote, and notices she’ll be making enemies this week. Not only does she suddenly become a swing vote, she ends up winning the veto competition. Russell decides to make a secret agreement with Michelle, and with that, she doesn’t use the power of veto, leaving the nominations the same for the first time this season.
Thursday - Ronnie evicted, Jeff wins Coup D’Etat, Chima HOH
In Thursday’s episode, Ronnie tries to weasel and rat in his way to win a sympathy vote from Jordan. Before the eviction ceremony, things got heated, well, staged, so they say between Chima and Russell and Ronnie confesses there’s no good in Michelle. Now, it was also revealed that Jeff was the winner of the Coup D’Etat where in the first chance, it wasn’t used by him. So, the results were in, and With 4 votes, Ronnie was evicted. In the HOH ceremony, it was Chima, Kevin, and Natalie left. Chima got the last question right, claiming a win for herself.
Now, I am go flipping glad that Jeff got this Coup D’Etat because I so think he’s going to use it and totally get Jessie out of the door this week. I also wouldn’t mind seeing Kevin or Michelle leaving, just because due to their game play and lack of strategy skills that it should be one of them leaving shortly. I think Lydia is doing an OK job at playing, unlike Kevin, who is just nothing but a floater’s sidekick. That’s it. Russell and Jeff are easily playing probably the two best game players because they know how to take control of how to get themselves out of bad positions, unlike Jessie, who is clearly playing the game way too hard, and did that way too early, also.
Here is a new way how I’m ranking these housemates based on how I like them. It’s basically a Love/Like/Meh/Dislike scale that I hope (if my readers are, like, alive?) you guys would do. This ranking only includes the ten housemates were there this week. So here goes:
Love: Jordan, Jeff, Russell
Like: Natalie, Lydia
Meh: Kevin, Michelle
Dislike: Chima, Jessie, Ronnie.

BBUS11 - Casey evicted & secret power revealed
For now on, my blogs on Big Brother will be weekly, instead of after every episode, simply because it’s just going to be easier on me. This is about Casey’s eviction, so here we go.
Basic info of the night:
Casey tried to scheme to get the chance to stay, so he goes to Russell, and tells Russell, he’s fourth in Jessie’s alliance. At first Russell claims to be second, but what I thought was, why settle for second? Until he noticed it’ll be easier to beat Ronnie and Natalie in the final three with him out. So, Russell claims he’s got to consider keeping Casey, and says he’ll try to get the numbers to save him. Meanwhile, everyone else pretty much considered the vote to turn out unanimous. At the eviction ceremony, the vote was 7-1, Russell voted for Jordan, but couldn’t get the numbers to save Casey, and Casey was evicted.
Twist and another resurrected twist:
Shortly after Casey was evicted, Julie Chen called all housemates to the living room, where she announced the housemates have Graduated from Big Brother School District (OK, so maybe not those exact words, but still, the housemates were told they “graduated”) which is just a metaphorical way of saying the housemates are no longer competing or depending on as cliques. Then, Julie Chen announced another twist, a Secret Power was to be given to a certain housemate. This housemate would receive the power as request by America. Julie Chen revealed to America that this secret power was the Coup D’Etat, which we saw that in Season 7, it gave us a whole lot of nothing, but hey, the Immunity Idol’s in Survivor started off that way, and look at it now. (Blindside flashbacks!) I do think the Coup D’Etat can be used, it’ll just be sued predictably, because these people are all pretty much playing a predicable game.
The HOH competition:
The HOH competition required everyone to sit on a graduation hat and hang on for dear life as they get spun around, while being rained on, and then whacked by an oversized inflatable diploma. Nobody dropped before the end of the show, where it was left as a cliffhanger. (But Russell won, I’ll say more in the next blog). So, it was pretty sad to see Casey go, and to see him up against Jordan, and it really sucks to see Jessie’s ego continue inflating more than that diploma was inflated. Jessie just reminds me of Coach from Survivor, minus being a self proclaimed “dragon slayer”. I’ve noticed this is Big Brother’s, what third twist resurrected into a public voting twist (Returning Housemate, America’s Player, Coup D’Etat). What’s next? America’s Pairs? Whatever happened to Expect the Unexpected? Anyways, Go Jordan and Jeff! That’s just about it, for now, however, I finally have respect for Russell for saving Casey and not being so up to Jessie so much. Also, readers, I want to hear from you, I want to know what you think of this season, maybe compare it to BBUK10, or whatever, just comment, please?
