Delve Into Lunacy

Well, that’s a wrap on another season and as much as I quit caring as soon as it was down to the final two I have to say I’m already missing it. I wish they would get rid of the audience for the finales but that seems to be the new black for reality shows so I doubt I’ll ever get that wish granted. Even with the audience there it was still much better than last year’s finale as far as production values go.

I thought it was really surprising how blatantly they had Julie try to get it across to the Friendship as to how disliked they were. I was expecting them to go the gumdrop smile route and acting like the season turned out wonderfully. So at least some of the drama that I was hoping for ended up being there.

As usual the Friendship folks were their usual selves. Eric acted like an ass the one time he got to talk as expected. Maggie acted like she had just witnessed someone stabbing a baby when Howie made his comments. Beau was flabbergasted that anyone could accuse Ivette of ever acting without integrity despite the people from his own group agreeing with the comments. April never could shut up and yet again her comments came back to bite her in the ass and her back-peddling just dug the hole deeper. Jen was in uber-bitch mode and actually took it to levels that I didn’t think she could possibly take it too.

Speaking of Jen, she was the one that was a huge fan of BB and brought April along with her when they needed to bring a partner. She always talked about how she was a good strategist and knew how to play the game. However, with the way she acted last night it was apparent she didn’t play the game with the slightest bit of strategy and instead really did just view it as a summer camp where she could try to be the popular kid. I especially liked her comments after Kayser said he wished she could think for herself. Immediately she replied with “I can think for myself”. At that point Julie started talking to send the show to commercials, but Jen kept yammering in the background and said “My team were the ones that decided to get rid of you.” Apparently she doesn’t realize the meaning of “think for yourself” since she admitted that she just followed what the team said to do.

I can’t finish off my posting on this season without a final rant about Ivette so here goes. Was it possible for Ivette to have been more of a sore loser immediately after Maggie was named the winner? They pulled the key and as soon as she saw Maggie’s name she got all frowny and stood up and started to walk off. Had Maggie not ran over to her and given her a hug I think she might have just walked right out of the house before she was supposed to. Then once they were out in the studio she kept acting the same way. I know it’s got to suck making it that far and then losing but she should have expected it. It was her friend that won yet it looked like she wouldn’t have even congratulated her if she hadn’t been forced to. What a self-centered bitch.

Wow, hopefully the family version of The Amazing Race starting next week is as awful as I’m expecting it to be or I won’t have much to bitch about now that BB is over with.
