Russell Knows

Ax expected, Jessie filled him in...and blamed it all on Jeff and Jordan. A lot of he said/she said was played over the course of the next hour. Who knows what Ronnie will now do?

Personally, I'm convinced that even if Russell is put up Chima and/or Lydia will not vote as they promised.

Bikini Day!!!

A little something for everybody!

The Silliness of These People

Don't get me wrong - I firmly agree that eliminating Russell is a smart move.

Yet the reason that the majority of these people turned against him is pretty childish. Yes, he's cocky and has had words at times with everybody in the house. As a relatively intelligent person with an athletic build, he is a threat to suddenly make a run for the finals.

But that's not the reason he's (probably) going to be put up, and (probably) evicted on Thursday. He's going home because he had the audacity to sit outside with Casey, Laura, and others on Friday night...and then again last night.

Sure, Ronnie had claimed to Jeff, Jordan, and Laura that backdooring Russell was his plan all along. That's complete b.s. that he said to only save face with that crowd. It wasn't until Friday's incident that started people like Chima and Lydia's whisper campaign.

Jordan the Actress?

Jordan was lectured for at least a half hour, and she eventually agreed that if she wins HOH next week she can't put up Jessie, Lydia, Kevin, Chima, or Ronnie. Oh boy. She was then instructed to inform everybody outside that she was told that she was going to be Jeff's replacement on the block so that Russell doesn't have a clue. She did just that, and while Russell had a couple of questions they all seemed to believe what she said. Of course, now she's making the mistake of continuing to talk, so we'll see how long she can pull of the charade.

I predict that Russell finds out even if Jordan doesn't screw up before Showtimes is over because a). none of these people can keep a secret, and b). Ronnie wants to tell Jessie of this plan...which means Natalie will know five minutes later, and then one of the two will tell Russell.

While this was going on, Russell was having a relatively intelligent conversation with Laura and Michelle about Jessie, Natalie, and Ronnie.

S*** Stirrer Natalie

So a few minutes ago, Jordan and Russell had a bit of a heart to heart conversation in the storage room. Natalie spotted them, and sprinted up to the HOH to grab Jessie to inform him. She completely exaggerated what she "overheard", saying that Russell has her back if he wants to get rid of Natalie and Jessie.

There's nothing I hate more than the "how dare you talk to xxxx" cliche of this show.
