So, it’s true, I’m not the Big Brother fan I once was. One Donato Season soured me for all eternity. But the Summer Realty TV Programming malaise got to me and I found myself continuing to watch this summer. Yes, what this says about me, I don’t really want to know.

However, it all paid off last night in what was an epic episode of this long running series. Inflatable Jesse managed to stir up the entire house by playing “telephone” and relaying info he was overhearing (without even trying) to the current HOH, April. Mind you, everything he relayed was true, but this set off a chain of shout fests that was so ridiculous it was amusing as all hell to watch. But Most Entertaining Moment in years? Watching the entire house, all shouted and screamed out and still pissed off as hell, having to jointly sing Happy Birthday to Keesha. It was the most awkward Happy Birthday song in the history of Happy Birthday singing. I loved it.

What I hated? That Jesse, who is still a tool, mind you, despite the fact that I totally loved how ridiculous he was to think that turning the house against each other would help him out. His strategery was that stirring things up would help him this week since he’s on the block, while simultaneously not thinking it through at all (quel shock) and realizing that everyone WAS targeting Memphis, but now that you’re pissing them all off, they’ll just target you instead. Dumbass. Back to what I hated - watching him comfort Dan (despite the fact he was being played - okay, maybe that was really entertaining as well) and later on, Michelle, who was to tickled to get the Hawaii vacation only to have it snatched away by Smug Libra in exchange for the Red Leotard of Skankiness made me actually think Jesse could be a nice guy when he wants to be. Thanks, show.

All in all, epic episode. I don’t know how they packed it all in. Topped by Jerry-atric winnng the POV, bargaining 2/3 of April’s winnings away from her, and not using it. HA! Seriously, bring this every week and I’ll keep tuning in.

And, on the live feeds, it looks like the fun hasn’t stopped. Half the house is actively lying to April that they will still honor her request to target Memphis over Jesse. And AP Dan looks a little green exiting the DR after being told by America who he has to vote for. Good times. Should be fun this Thursday!

Tune in tomorrow for the So You Think You Can Dance Finale MAC! I’m both excited to see who wins, and sad that my fave show of the summer is coming to an end. At least we have Our Phil coming in a few weeks to Save Us with another Amazing Race. Woo hoo!
