Drama Comes Early

One thing that you can predict about Big Brother is that you can't predict anything. The first Power Couple (which I erroneously thought was the same as an HOH) had the dubious task of evicting one couple without a veto competition or a vote. At the end of the last episode, it seemed that Sheila and Adam were certainly out the door, seeing how Adam is kind of creepy and Sheila is a whining bitch. Lucky for those two, however, Jacob's big mouth saved their day. For a reason not understood to me, Jacob announced to a group of people that Parker was a "snake." Jen was in this group and being Parker's partner, she went straight to him. The typical "I'm calling you on it, say it to my face," power struggle ensued, and Parker managed to bring it to a whole new level - he woke up every single houseguest and tried to get somebody to 'fess up to starting the "snake" moniker. Of course nobody claimed it, so Jacob and his partner Sharon took the fall. I really felt bad for Sharon (as did Jen and Parker). This girl showed up in the house, completely excited to be there, then was faced not only with living with her dirty ex, but actually being his partner and sharing his bed.

Next up was the first HOH competition, and to my extreme excitement, BB brought back my favorite HG couple, Eric and Jessica. They're still together and still looking super cute. She was in a pink cocktail dress while he wore a snazzy suit with a pink tie. The competition was a Newlywed Game sort of thing with the "soulmates" proving how well they know each other through a series of wacky questions. It really was entertaining because they not only answered the questions - they dressed up as the answers. Silly, but cute.

The competition ended with the super cute Alex and Amanda becoming the first HOH. Coming up next time - Jen and Ryan have already revealed their coupleness to their partners (Jen is the worst secret-keeper that I have ever seen, including myself) and their partners aren't too happy about it. In fact, I can definitely see Allison campaigning to get Jen and Parker out of the house. Further drama will ensue because Allison is majoring crushing on Ryan. She claims to hate Jen, but I'm sure that a big part of her pissiness is that she thought she'd be getting a little somethin' somethin'. So, nominations next ... my predictions for the chopping block are Sheila and Adam and Jen and Parker. Let's see how well I do.
