'Big Brother 11': Who goes home first?
Dear Big Brother announcer,
It's "ath-lete," not "ath-uh-lete."
OK, now that we're done with that, I'll get on to the first eviction of the season.
It's a little disturbing that it took about four days for the people in the house this year to go completely bananas. Lydia, who I pretty much liked before this, got in a screaming fight with Braden over ... what? Then she screamed at Jordan because she cried when Braden went on the block but not when Lydia went on the block. It also didn't take long for the athletes to become cocky bullies and anger the rest of the house.
But the big moment of the night came during Chima's plea to stay in the house. A lot of it got bleeped, but here's my attempts to record it: "It amazes me how short some of the memory spans are in here because my opponent here called both of my very good friends [bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep] and [bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep]. [From the live audience: "ohhhh."] Yes, he did. And so a vote for Braden is a vote for a bigot. Anyone who aligns themselves with a racist and a misogynist, you deserve to go home."
Wow.
Julie was stunned and said that's the most memorable live speech they've ever heard.
The votes: Russell voted for Braden, Natalie voted for Braden, Jeff voted Chima, Jordan voted for Chima, Kevin voted for Braden, Lauren voted for Chima, Lydia voted for Braden, Michelle voted for Chima, Casey voted "to evict Chima's melodramatic behind," and Ronnie voted for Braden (with an aside about how he's "going to hell"). This made it a tie, leaving it to Jessie, who evicted Braden.
Oh, Ronnie.
Then Julie interviewed Braden, who said there was a lot to talk about. He said that he thought Ronnie, Michelle or Casey who sold him out. Julie told him it was Ronnie, and isn't surprised, calling him sinister and into the game and "a great liar."
Ronnie was the winner of the HOH competition, so he, Michelle and Chima are safe this week, too.
What did you think about the results? Pretty nutty.

What did Braden say????
Anyone?

I thought Lydia was a pretty cool girl but now not so much.
I'm just not getting a good vibe from her and her actions anger me.
Also, Ronnie is a lying, scheming and backstabbing *******.
They're my least favourite competitors currently but they're sure as heck playing the game. I gotta admit that.

Ronnie already had Russell and the athletes mad at him and suspecting him of tipping off the other side. Then he voted against against the other side. He totally just alienated himself once he is not the HOH anymore. My wife and I couldn't believe Ronnie voted for Braden.

Last night was definitely one of the craziest first evictions ever. I was pleasantly surprised actually. Normally I dont even care who is kicked off in the first week, but I was actually into it this time. Lydia was cool until this episode. She is for sure playing the game and is allll over Russell. Ronnie is a mess...he isnt slick enough to pull off the "playin both sides"...he'll be out after his run of HOH. Which means another week of Chima. Ugh. Russell needs to go...and Jesse is just as useless this season.

As always in BB expect the unexpected. Alot of people thought Casey would be the swing vote when in fact Ronnie sided with the athletes minus Jeff. I have to give it to Ronnie though; Jesse's first night in house Ronnie told he him he was going to win HoH and he did. If he keeps going back and forth with both sides of the house I dont see him lasting more than 3 wks
SKK: I agree, Ronnie isn't playing nearly as well as he thinks he is.
