Delve Into Lunacy

To start I have to say that I’ve really been gaining back a lot of respect for Howie that I lost when he carried on with his tirade a few weeks ago for just too long. Tonight was a nice look back on why I originally liked him so much. How can you not like a guy that is that secure with himself that he doesn’t mind potentially looking like a fool on national television by tapping into his inner child. He reminded me of The Star Wars Kid minus the whole retard factor.

Despite how much I love watching Howie I’m still hoping Janelle wins it all, although she doesn’t have any shot at all unless both her and Howie make it to the final two. Even then I have a feeling the majority on the jury would vote for Howie just because they like him more than her. I seriously doubt that Ivette would flip and side with them even though she brought up the idea to Howie without prompting. At least she realizes she has a better chance at the money with either of those two but I’m not going to get my hopes up. The one good thing is that with the exception of Ivette all the other players have a chance at the next two HoH spots. Janelle’s only shot now is to win both of them.

Speaking of Janelle winning, is anyone else getting sick of just how predictable the editing of reality shows is getting? Out of the ones I watch, Big Brother is the worst offender. Survivor, The Apprentice, etc all have the same issue but at least they occasionally throw the audience for a curve. Even without the live feeds (which I don’t follow) Big Brother is completely predictable as you watch it.

As an example, tonight during the veto competition there was only one player where they focused on their reaction once they got back into the house after completing the game…Janelle. True, she needed it more than anyone else and she thought she did poorly, but as soon as they did it I immediately knew she won. My question is whether the producers truly think people don’t catch on and that they are simply building the drama or do they realize it’s a give away and just hope only a minority of the viewers notice or care?
