Re: Big Brother 11: Rat-Nat Whines And Lies While Kevin Works It And Jordan Smiles

I totally agree with you on Kevin - until he teamed up with Natalie, I really liked him. Now, he's more like Evel Dick to Jen to me - where there is some redeeming qualities about him. IMHO, while I know his goodbye message to Michelle was edited, I do think that he did at least realize that Michelle was at least a potential threat to him winning the game and respected that. Also, I think he'd be one to apologize to Michelle after seeing the entire season himself.

Natalie on the other hand, I feel the total opposite - she is a bully plain and simple, and got away with bullying everyone even to a point including Big Brother himself IMHO.

I have said in the past that I will not mind Kevin winning, but still would prefer Jordan out of the two. Both would be stupid IMHO to take Natalie because - and only because - there are enough meatheads in the jury that they'd think that her antics were good strategy. While I understand trash talking is a strategy (see Dick for that example), I think that the level that Natalie took it too crossed the strategy border and was just flat out cruel and unnecessary. It's the same with Jordan - she's been under the radar; however, she has at least won more competitions that Natalie.

The only quibbles I have about the calendar issue are this;

1. CBS - Big Brother, had Russell turn in a chess set when they found out he was using it as a calendar.

2. Michelle's birth control pill into calendar issue hasn't been confirmed, and additionally, they're dated (as far as I get it) M-F. They also wouldn't be 31 days, because unless she got the kind that reduced or stopped them, they aren't needed the week she has her period. To me - it wouldn't work as a calendar. (Admittedly I do not take contraceptives - don't have a reason to need them - so I can't be sure on this).

3. Play Doh itself isn't used for writing, but they were able to carve letters and such with a safety pin - therefore they had a "Pen" and "Paper." Ergo, it was a calendar and indeed it should've been removed because it was breaking the rules.

I think this may be why Kevin was being swayed by BB to vote to keep in Michelle - they know that fans are really pissed off about this instance and how it did - and Kevin and Natalie have admitted it on the feeds) help Kevin win the POV. There are some who not only cancelled their feeds, have also told CBS they will give Michelle the feeds they've saved of the red M&M and bleach incident so she could consider a lawsuit (yes, CBS can possibly get away with the instance as far as legal action (that disclaimer), but not those who considered it).

Plus, if BB removed Russell's, they should've removed Natalie's and Kevin's - period. It's an unfair enforcement of the rules that did in fact seriously affect the outcome of this game.

sorry for the rant RTVC - I really do agree these have been wonderful columns. I just get mad at - in this case - blatant cheating in a game that will affect the outcome. It's not a quirk by the production (even if they had tech difficulties, there still was the calendar which helped kevin), it's not the person's own fault - it's flat out intentional cheating by the contestants who know they can't have a calendar.

It's a shame that Kevin will probably vote out Michelle, because seriously - if Natalie were to end up on jury and he still faced Michelle, she'd vote for him because she hates Michelle more. He should realize that, because Jordan would be a better bet to beat either of them than Michelle - given that most on the jury hate her more than they do him or Natalie (thanks to the lie).

Michelle is telling him the truth, and he's so blind by fear he's not paying attention to it.

Kevin - for all of his turkey and jackass behavior the past week, I think has a lot more smarts to realize that Natalie is a greedy little woman and this move is to benefit her, not Kevin. While I think would lose against Jordan and Natalie, he wouldn't Michelle. I think too that him standing up for himself might actually sway the jury a bit more to his favor than Natalie's because he told her to stuff it - something none of them did before.

Heck, why isn't he playing smart? - He should remember Pandora's Box and how Natalie just went out and grabbed more money instead of finding the Key, where at least Jeff did go out and find the key - even if he did go back and grab some money. Jeff - his enemy - cared enough to find it: I think Natalie wouldn't have bothered to find it until she grabbed every single dollar she could - and quite possibly steal everyone else's if she could.

I think that Natalie has won the honor of being the biggest bitch douchebag jackass nitwit dweeb dork (Maybe doesn't make sense, but this is what I'm getting) ever in Big Brother.

She's what results when you combine Dick Donato, Maggie and Ivette, and the winter season cast of "Big Brother" - each of them alone was tough to deal with at times, but together it's a nightmare.

People say don't compare her to Dick but I never saw Dick spend hours intentionally creating lies to put on a houseguest - even Jen. Yes, he harangued her, but we saw this with Russell and Jeff and a few others this season.

I'm amazed - seriously - that Big Brother has NOT stopped Natalie's antics or flat out removed her from the house. She's broken as many rules as Chima - at least my opinion - and yet she stays. Ratings are not worth causing a houseguest the torment Michelle has gone through.

Additionally - Michelle knows she was slandered. She may not be able to sue CBS (though she may have a case IMHO with not removing or penalty nominating Lydia and Natalie over the red M&M incident - a potential life and death scenario), but she could Natalie and have proof of it.

If I were CBS, I'd revoke the POV this week and have them all play in the final HOH competition - doubly after Natalie and Kevin - with PROOF - admitted that an illegal calendar helped them out (Russell had his chess calendar removed, so no, Nat and Kevin shouldn't have had their's - it was just as illegal). Round one the winner of that gets to vote out a houseguest and the second round is the final two.

I don't think it'll happen and Kevin will be a wimp and vote out Michelle. That said, it's why I'm voting for Michelle for the favorite houseguest prize any time I can.

Re: Big Brother 11: The Most Vile Hate Filled Nomination Speech Ever And The Biggest Lie!

Wow... just wow. I think Natalie has topped Evil Dick and the cast of the winter season of "Big Brother" as the most hated and ugliest competitior ever.

There was no reason for her to be cruel to either Kevin or Michelle in the nominations - none. Hell, even Evil Dick had some scruples and knew eventually when to stop. Personally, I even feel that some of his antics were for the game sake, because he seemed a lot more mellow the season afterward. Doesn't mean he was still a bit of a jerk, but he was definitely not all tirade and such.

She has - and I don't think she's realized this - totally ruined her job prospects for a long time: 1. she's lied about her age and other things - showing she can't be trusted, 2. she's shown that she will commit revenge toward people if they just slight her, 3. she is greedy and demanding, and in this day and age you'd best not demand that you get something or you'll be fired. No game for however much you can earn - is worth costing you a life long career or something you'd enjoy doing.

Frankly, I'm surprised she hasn't been ejected from this game due to violations of the rules, demanding people's hard-earned prizes for a vote she said she wouldn't give to them (mind you I know Dreamz did this in "Survivor" but he regretted it and apologized to Yau-Man for it - Yau rocked though being the bigger man though).

If - and I do mean if - Natalie makes it to the final two and wins, I think it'll be the end of "Big Brother" because no one likes her. Even Adam I think was better liked, and that's saying something.
