America Doesn't Love You, Ivette

TVgasm 2, Friendship 0

On Big Brother, the last America's Choice seemed kinda lame. We got to decide which hamster would get a call from a loved one? Big deal.

But it turned out to be less lame than indicated. The Fiendship went the whole week assuring each other how much America loves them, and how impossible it was that one of the others would get the call.

I wouldn't think a phone call from a loved one would be THAT big a boost to your spirits. I mean, you know they're still out there in the world, right? You know you'll see them soon, when the game is done, right? Right? But I guess hamsters have a very limited and sad peephole view of the world. (Yeah... we like it like that. Heh. Put 'em in a "habitat." Make them eat peanut butter and jelly. Make them play a game in a box, and put dozens of flies in there with them! Beau actually was seen on the feeds yelling about flies in his sleep, so that worked out pretty well!)

So, the Fiendship hamsters thought they were loved and adored, and that they OF COURSE would get the loved-one phone call. But America hates them! Some people in America hate them so much that a campaign was started to get people to vote for Janelle, specifically for the purpose of making April, Ivette, Maggie, and/ or Beau cry. Now THAT'S good TV.

CBS knows damn good and well what they're doing when they try to promote the Fiendship members. They know people hate them! They know because they have a poll right on their website, for goshsakes. But they edit the shows so that the "Girl Scout Troop" looks like they're not the hypocritical jerks they are. When Janelle demanded the HOH key from Jennifer, (back a hundred years ago, I mean) they showed Janelle yelling, "Gimme the key, bitch!" But they didn't show Jennifer throwing them off to the side, out of her reach. The people watching the FEEDS know the truth! CBS is skewing what they edit so the Fiendship looks like the good people they THINK they are. Wait.... Why does CBS do that?

Well, either way, this has been a great week for Big Brother. Janelle won stuff and made everybody seethe with jealousy... And when she won the phone call from a loved one, it made Ivette cry. Now that's some good TV.

But the feeds still won't be worth the money.

The feeds will never be worth the money.
