I am okay with the high school theme, because I appreciate the twists in this game, but I am still wondering how the Power of Veto will work. Jesse and Cowboy were the two I did not want to see entering the house so I was disappointed, but I don't think he'll last too long. There is a bit of a romance sparking up between him and the tatooed girl - I'll get their names straight eventually. Tattoo girl was one of my first impression favorites, but after see After Dark last night, I am unimpressed. She is whiny and nothing like what I was expecting. So, at this point, my favorite is surfer dude and teacher/DJ.I don't like any of the girls at this point, but I am hoping that will change.

Jesse coming back made me want to hurl and cry at the same time. I seriously can't stand him 'with the fire of a thousand suns'. So RK..you totally summed up how I feel about the Jessi factor.

Lore, I think you're a bit ahead of me. I liked tattoe girl at first. Then, she toally lost any respect for her when she massaged Jesse. I actually yelled over to the hubby...

I don't mind the high school theme. As to who I feel like is a good person & I like at this given moment...
*Surfer guy (he sounds just like Nicholas Cage in Valley Girl),
*Blonde hair girl-next door
*The teacher,
*The more reserved, atheletic guy. (Not the guy that immediatly made a deal with Jesse). Sorry, RK...but at least you don't like him either. It would have been cool rooting for him. If, he didn't immediatly bond w/ Jesse, and wasn't so cocky...saying stuff like he runs the house (through Jesse, blah blah), etc.)
*Bathing suit model - She seems nice, and I didn't think she deserved being nominated (nor did I think the tatto girl deserved getting nominated either) by Jesse. (He's such an insecure douche. To me, he just screams insecurity...and that's okay, but don't go around treating people like poo.)

I don't like:
*The Brains guy, who was quick to make an alliance with Jesse...and offer up his other two team mates to be pon.

Oops, I made a ton of mistakes in my above comment. I'm sure you can figure out what I was trying to convey. "I lost any and all respect for the tattoo girl, when she massaged Jesse". Please excuse the rest of my mistakes.

After last nights eppy I really dislike my bay area neighbor Russell. When he went off on Jeff like like that.... Reminded me of all the guys I used to hang out with when I would party in the town he's from!

Jesse is getting a LITTLE better for me but not much. I like him more than Russ and I like him more than Natalie. And Laura does seem nice enough but man is she tough to look at. Ick.

That guy on the brains team that thinks he's so smart....is probably one of the dumbest players ever in the history of this show. They should have put him up instead of Braden. Or Shima even.

RK, I totally agree with you about the guy on the brains team! I couldn't believe the fight between Russell and Jeff. I thought that was totally screwed up. So, I'm in agreement w/ you again...about Jesse not appearing so badly compared to Russell. Which one is Laura? I'm really liking the teacher still. I hope Braden gets to stay. (I made another mistake above...Chima (not the bathing suit model) that is on the block. She seems like a nice girl...I don't want to see her go either. (I didn't like her diva response when she saw her bedroom though.)

I like how Jeff kept telling Russell, "You spelled shotgun!" Like who in their right mind would think of that word to spell of all the words in the world. Laura is the one with the big hooters. I like the teacher guy too. Well at least it's entertaining once again for us all!

I think Russell and the other girl went about the competition differently than the rest of the group. All the other competitors had this big long word they wanted to spell and were looking for the letters they needed. Russell was just grabbing letters and throwing them in his tub. Then he figured out what the longest word he could do was. (At least that's the way I think he approached the whole thing. )

While I absolutely agree with you that Russell and Natalie went about the competition the correct way by grabbing any letters in hopes to spell a long word, I still think it was a little twisted that the word he came up with was shotgun. Just shows his personality I guess. Because he did go off on Jeff like a shotgun.

I figured he hunted or shot trap. I shoot trap so to me it's not twisted at all. :dunno:

My hubby watched the game part, and he said, 'They're all idiots. These are the best words they could come up with." And I said, "think about playing Scrabble in a big hurry, and being covered in gross cheesey smelly stuff...and I wonder what you would come up with."

Btw., I agree with both of you. Collect the letters first, then spell the longest word you can.

I've changed my mind. I love Laura. She just took a while to show her game. Maybe I was just distracted by her enormous boobies. She is pretty smart though and she just might be able to save herself. I hate when 2 people I like are nominated for eviction!

Also, I read an article about Chima's experience with the bathtub serial killer. She was his final victim and luckily got away from him and he was caught days after her attack. She had to have 2 reconstructive surgeries on her face after the ordeal. This somewhat explains her crap attitude towards people, so I tend to feel a bit badly about hating on her. I just wish she wouldn't be so foul.

I do like Laura better now too.

That's crazy about Chima. Now I feel bad about the comments the husband and I said to each other about her obvious plastic surgery.

Jesse was the last one I wanted to come back!! i could not stand him last year and hope he does not ruin it for me this season too!! He is not too bad yet though so there is some hope!!
Oh wow I did not know that about Chima, but that does not give her the right to be such a BIATCH!!

I actually like Jesse alot better this year now that he is put next to people like RONNIE. I can't stand him! I hope he gets the boot sooner than later or I might lose my mind.

I know Ronnie is the one I despise this year. I don't have a favorite yet though. noone really stands out. I like Lydia more than I thought I would but..... there is just something about her that is keeping me from saying she is my fav. Casey may be the front runner for my fav though. He is pretty funny.

I was just about to come on here and rant about Shima or Chima or however the hell you spell her blasted name. I am sorry to hear she almost bit the dust serial killer style but I still can't stand her. I don't like b*tches and she is a big one.

I also agree with the Laura being smarter than we thought statement.

I think, for me, the only one I can tolerate is the athletic guy (who is friends with the populars) who is nominated this week. I like that when he is confronted by assinine people he stands there, doesn't get flustered and gives them hell back without really losing his cool. I also like the older guy.

The HOH worm nerd isn't as smart as he thinks he is (I feel). But what do I know. I have watched this show for years and it has surprised me on more than one occasion.

Ronnie is shaping up to be the person I despise this year. I hope he's not around much longer.

Jessie doesn't bother me as much this year as he did last year. But then again, there's plenty of season left.

I'm not sure who's going to end up being my fave players this year. I'll know more after tonight.

Ronnie makes me feel like a cat being rubbed the wrong way. *shudder* I can't stand him. He does make Jesse kind of bearable.

It would give me the creeps to be in that house with Worm Ronnie. I could see me sleeping and him crouched in the corner just staring.

Worm Ronnie! Ewww, I can just picture him crouched and staring. *double shudder!!*

I am with you all on the Ronnie hate. He MUST go. I don't think it will take long because even though the meatheads are loving up to him right now, it is only because he is in power. Take that away and pretty much everyone is onto him for being the creepo that he is.

I honestly don't know how he thought it was good game play to win HOH this early for him? He clearly wants to play both sides yet had to show his hand on nominations. Sure he claims he is doing a backdoor on Russell but still that doesn't get him out of making enemies on both sides. He will fall like so many before him that let the power go to their heads.

Must see - http://teamsugar.com/group/1759188/blog/3547031

"Ronnie makes me feel like a cat being rubbed the wrong way. *shudder* I can't stand him."
That is exactly how I feel about him too!!

Laura is def smarter than she looks but I hope she goes over Jordan that would leave poor Jeff all alone and he is quick becoming a favortie with me too. He is about the only normal one in there!!

And yet Ronnie does the exact opposite and puts another popular up. Laura is right!! He needs to go home next week!!

I really like Jeff as well.

Lore, I'm going to your link right after this comment.

My favorites are Jeff, Jordan, and Laura. I would really like to see Michele more. It's like she's not even in the house. But that could be a good thing for her game. I was so hoping Worm Ronnie would have put Russell up, and instead he puts up Jordan. That's just f'ed up to me. I really like Jordan, but I want Laura to stay. I think she'll get Ronnie back. But, I love Jeff and Jordan's friendship. I also like the teacher, Casey or K.C. (however it's spelled). Anyway, I don't want either Laura or Jordan to go home.

I copy everything BB just said.

I was so happy when Jeff beat Russell at the POV comp! I think I flipped off the TV at Russell when it happened.

I was very happy that Russell lost too!!! I was all giddy!!
