Big Brother: Give Jordan Lloyd the coup d'etat


What's that?

A twist in the game in which one player secretly gets the power to replace one or two of the HOH's nominees for eviction.

I'm sorry if this writing this spoils your Tivo experience, but this is too important.

You know that our girl Jordan isn't manipulative. She's not cut-throat. Guile? Nope.

She needs help. If she keeps being made a pawn, she's going to go at some point. She needs power.

Imagine how fun it would be for Jordan to be the one who shakes things up.

So You Think You Can Dance: the Recap

Guest blogger Lenni G shares:

With only 14 dances (not the 17 we've become used to) last night, the evening flew by! Joining
Nigel and Mary as a guest judge was Lil C who was asked by Cat Deeley, "to pontificate on the preferences of the population."

So, joining Lil C, here's my pontification of the evening.

Awkward! Kiptyn and Reid confront Bachelorette Jillian

Kiptyn and Reid faced Jillian last night for the first time since being rejected by her in Hawaii. Both men were fairly emotional on the "After the Final Rose" show, and both said they are still in love with Jillian, who is now engaged to Ed. All of this made for some pretty uncomfortable conversations. And great TV!

Watching Reid especially was pretty uncomfortable. Dude is obviously still reeling and still pining for Jillian, and he wanted to ask her all the usual "Why?!" kinds of questions. But after one or two awkward attempts, he finally said there was no point because she picked Ed, end of story. It was all pretty awkward and I really thought Reid was going to cry at one point. The camera even zoomed in tight on his eyes one time, "Bachelorette" producers praying for tears, I'm sure. Jillian got a little teary, but that's it.

Big Brother: Poop doesn't bother Jordan Lloyd

 

She also likes to get dirty and would enjoy wrestling in mud.

And when it comes to crayon intelligence, she will not be bested by jazzberry jam or fuzzy wuzzy brown.

You have to know our girl Jordan to understand.

The Bachelorette has to break some hearts to get her man

While it's true I've snickered at some of the rejected suitors who have failed to win roses from Jillian Harris this season, sometimes "The Bachelorette" just seems cruel to me.

I'm no huge fan of Kiptyn (though I have nothing against him and I better get used to him), but I felt sorry for him last night when he poured his heart out to Jillian and danced right up to the edge of a marriage proposal, only to have her tell him she doesn't love
him back. This is a guy who insisted all season that he needed to take things slowly, while Jillian pushed and pulled him relentlessly to hurry the heck up and love her already. The way the show is set up, it comes off as the ultimate bait-and-switch.

Big Brother: Jordan Lloyd is off the slop

It had been quite a week for our girl Jordan.

The popular clique was made the Have Nots, so she's been eating slop. And then with Laura's eviction, she's the only member of the popular clique left.

And now as the new week starts, just after things got a little better, they got a little worse.

So You Think You Can Dance: Results show

Lenni G. tells what happened and how Katie did:

To celebrate its 100th episode, SYTYCD revisited some of the best routines and moments of the past five years. We saw "Hummingbird and Flower" from Wade Robson featuring Jamie and Hawk, "The Bench Routine" from Mia Michaels featuring Heidi and Travis, and the incomparable "Ramalama" (Wade Robson again) featuring the season two contestants. That season totally rocked and, judging from last night re-performance, those now older kids still rock too!

Big Brother: Jordan Lloyd is still in the house

You know for a minute there, it looked like she might go.

Laura, her pal and fellow potential evictee, wasn't going without a fight.

But in the end, our girl Jordan's sweetness was their weakness.

Big Brother: Jordan Lloyd can't tell time

Our girl Jordan is full of contradictions.

One minute she's capable of coming up with a diabolical (albeit failed) plan to take down a master manipulator.

The next minute she can't decipher the minutes on a clock.

What a woman.

Bachelorette recap: Wes chickens out, skips reunion show

It was the main reason many people tuned in last night: to see Wes on the sofa explaining the jerky slimeball behavior that has surely landed him in Reality TV history books. But about 20 minutes into the "Men Tell All" special, we found out that our reviled little Texas corn fritter was a no-show -- as Chris Harrison put it, "for obvious reasons" (main reason, apart from him not having a spine: the angry audience would have  probably stoned him to death).  

Also, I owe an apology to ABC because they didn't show Ryan and Trista one single time! I'm still a little bit in shock about that. Are they saving them for the finale next week? Cuz you know it's gotta happen.
