And a new day dawns in the tale of Jason and the Ugh-onauts. Yesterday saw the revealing of the Have Nots and Jason's loyal followers made three members of Alex's side of the house Have Nots. Monte, Morgan and Scott were named as Have Nots. They were given no additional Have Not food this week, so they're stuck with just slop. While examining the Have Not room Morgan commented on Justin's clothes (he only wears very high end designer clothes) and wondered where he got them. Monte jokingly replied that maybe he stole them. Not necessarily a bad guess considering that Justin has admitted to dealing drugs, being a pimp, and being arrested eleven times, but never convicted. He's far from a choir boy and in truth being called a thief is a lesser offense than the things he's admitted to having done.
Danielle was in earshot when this went down and immediately ran to Justin and told Justin that Monte accused him of being a thief. Danielle's very good at stirring things up. This had Justin very upset and angry. While the people inside were getting ready to test the bucket of slop on the table a light bulb above the table exploded over Shelby and the house guests were ordered outside. Justin cursed at Monte and told him to "Get the f*** out!" and was clearly very angry at Monte who had no idea why.
While sitting outside, Justin was angrily lifting weights and shadow boxing to burn off his anger while Monte was informed that Justin was upset over the comment he'd made about Justin stealing the clothes he wore. Monte wondered who told Justin about that, and said it was just a joke. Kryssie, seeing an opportunity to impugn Scott, then said it had to be Scott who said it. Danielle jumped in and agreed and for a while they painted Scott as the picture of all evil in the world.
Eventually Justin calmed down and the whole house, minus Scott who had retreated to the Have Not room to hide out, had a meeting to talk things out. Justin calmed down and accepted Monte's apology and all was good for everyone but Scott. Then Monte asked Justin who had told him and Justin went off the Ugh-onauts script and told the truth that it was Danielle. Uh oh!
Danielle then followed Alex, Monte and Morgan into the store room and admitted that she told Justin, because she thought Justin should know and that she didn't realize that it had been a joke and as a black woman she thought there might be something racial in the accusation. Monte apologized and asked her to talk to him first if she hears anything and to let him clear things up before she blows up the house.
For the record, Jason's side of the house is trying to grab any one word, comment or action used by anyone on the other side of the house and blow it up into a massive reason why that person can't be trusted, or allowed to stay in the house. They did it with Cornbread, they've done it with Monte and now they've done it with Scott. It is definitely not my preferred style of game play. You don't have to smear someone to have a reason to vote them out of the game. Everyone but one person has to eventually go and just the fact that they're there is reason enough to get rid of them. You don't have to use character assassination as a reason to get someone out. Their side is attempting to slap ugly labels on people, labels like bigot, racist, homophobe, etc. and then say "If you don't vote them out, then it shows you support what they represent." In fact those house guests don't represent those beliefs, but they're just being painted in that manner, largely by Danielle and Kryssie. It's an ugly way to play the game and taints people afterwards. It isn't necessary or fair.
Alex isn't moved by their game play however and still intends to put up Danielle and Shane. Danielle has now moved into being the target thanks to her instigating these confrontations. (Truth be told Shane is largely nonexistent. He makes Corey from BB 18 look like a party animal in comparison. Shane redefines boring.) Later in the evening they had the Care Package ceremony where Kryssie used her save a friend power to save Jason. At last night's safety ceremony Alex saved Kryssie, Whitney, Neeley and Morgan. Tonight she'll save Scott, Monte, Justin and Shelby, leaving Danielle and Shane as the nominees.
Then the fun starts.Those of us who don't like the smear and tar and feather approach to playing the game seem united in nominating Kryssie as America's Nominee. Her ego has exploded over getting the Care Package and her endless chatter and attempts to frame Scott for something he had no role in makes her an easy target for us. The pro-Jason side seems split between Monte, Morgan and now Scott as their choice. Jason is telling America to vote for Scott, but many of his fans want to put up Alex's sister Morgan as an "F*** you!" message to Alex for daring to win HOH and put up the Ugh-onauts, while others want Monte up. God willing Jason's fans will split the vote enough to allow Kryssie to be the third nominee.
Tomorrow afternoon we'll find out who America nominated. (Please let it be Kryssie!) The look on her face when the image on the living room TV freezes on her will be priceless. She thinks she's the safest person in the house right now so it would be hilarious to see her go up. Then they'll play the POV comp which is a golfing comp based on the practice rig they've been given. (That favors Shane a ton as he's a former pro golfer. He's been hitting shots from across the yard in practice.) I really desperately want someone on Alex's side to win the POV, so the people who are playing a clean game have a chance to keep playing for a while. I love Big Brother but I hate the way some play the game by smearing their opponents. You don't have to destroy the character of someone else to advance in the game. If someone from your side of the house is nominated then win POV to save them or let them go. They have to go eventually for you to win anyway. These assaults on people's character are way out of line to me. It tells us far more about he character of the people making the claims than it does those they're accusing.
