Big Brother 14 – The Yak’s Interview with Evicted Big Brother Houseguest Janelle Pierzina

Bye, Bye, Bitches Jani! – Evicted Big Brother Houseguest Janelle Pierzina sits down with Mikey for an exclusive interview.

________________________________________

Still reeling from her untimely eviction, Big Brother legend, turned coach, turned third time competitor Janelle Pierzina sat down with The Yak today for an exclusive interview on her stay in the Big Brother house.

The biggest question on everyone’s mind was the bitter rivalry she shared with Season seven winner Mike “Boogie” Malin. When asked whether or not she thought he was playing it personal, Janelle said yes. “It was like he was playing with some vendetta against me for Will” the legend said. On remaining friends with the former winner turned coach outside of the game she said “probably not, he played it personal and I try not to do that”.

When time came to discuss the seasons “Coaches Twist” Janelle explained that she enjoyed it. “My favorite part was when my newbies would come to me with all this information everyday” she said in response to questions about Wil, Ashley, and Joe. Two of which – Joe and Wil, she’d surprisingly like to see walk out the door sooner rather than later. Although she has forgiven both Wil and Ashley for their betrayal, she went on to say that “Ashley and Wil are playing the game one week at a time” a move Jani isn’t too fond of.

What was Janelle’s ultimate downfall in the Big Brother house this time around? “That I’m a competitor” she said confidently. “I felt like Britney was threatened that I was a fan favorite” she added. A woman of few emotions, Jedi Jani broke her tough exterior with tears last night upon her departure from the house. “I hugged this really nice lady when I walked out, and I just couldn’t hold it in. I felt like I let her down!” Janelle said humbly.

Another hot topic was the issue of leaving her family behind to enter the house a third time. Many a Big Brother fan made their voice heard on the topic this summer, but what did Janelle have to say? Somewhat surprised, she simply said it was “rude”. A dignified and classy response to a question that could have potentially been volatile, it’s safe to say that the Big Brother beauty is confident in the decision she made.

As we get closer to the finale, everyone wants to know who has what it takes to make it to the final two? And, as any true Big Brother fan does, Janelle has her top picks. “I think Dan has what it takes win, and I’m rooting for him” she said. Of all the houseguests she lived with this Summer Janelle has the most respect for fellow coach and former winner Dan Gheesling. “Dan’s the only one who came to me and said look you’re leaving, I respected that ya know? I was always honest with people in season six and seven and I played the same way this time.” Not only does Janelle believe Dan has what it takes to get to the end, she believes the same of fellow coach Britney Haynes. “I definitely think Britney has a shot at making it to the end” she said. Of the newbies, “I would like to see Ian win because he’s a fan. Not so much for his game play, we didn’t talk much game; we talked about nature and science a lot. He was kind of awkward, socially. I will definitely be rooting for him if he makes it to the end” But, what about those who don’t have a shot at making it to the end? Janelle filled us in on her bottom picks. “Wil, Ashley, and Jenn really don’t have what it takes” she told us with much certainty.

After what proved to be a wild week, who surprised Janelle the most? “Britney, we had good times in the house, we always did stuff together. I could definitely tell that something was up with her, and Dan had dropped some hints too so I kind of knew what was going on.”

Is this the last we’ll see of the Big Brother legend? Not necessarily. She wouldn’t rule out returning to air waves if the “right thing” came along, but she did make one thing clear, her life is in Minnesota not Los Angeles. All in all, Janelle seems at peace with her departure from the house. She can’t wait to get back to Minneapolis to reunite with her baby girl and the love of her life.

CBS Presses Forward With The Glass House Lawsuit

AP – Los Angeles

CBS still wants to evict “The Glass House” from the airwaves.

The network moved ahead with its lawsuit against ABC this week by amending its filing that alleges ABC copied elements of “Big Brother” for its new reality TV competition series “The Glass House.”

CBS attorneys added several more objections to the show now that ABC has aired several episodes, arguing that “’Glass House’ employs the same plot, themes, mood, setting, pace, characters, dialogue, sequence of events and other concrete elements making up ‘Big Brother.’”

CBS originally sought to stop “Glass House” from premiering in June, but a federal judge refused. U.S. District Judge Gary Feess agreed with ABC attorneys who argued that many of the filming techniques employed on “Glass House” are not unique to “Big Brother” and are used in other reality TV shows.

Both shows employ dozens of cameras to monitor a houseful of contestants vying for a cash prize, but Feess ruled the shows are likely to play out very differently.

Among the similarities that CBS added to its lawsuit this week were that both shows feature an “obligatory older” and “openly gay” player, “showmances” as a plot element and “generally comfortable, cloistered house” environments.

CBS says “Glass House” violates copyrights and trade secrets from “Big Brother” and alleges that dozens of former “Big Brother” staffers and producers now working with ABC on “Glass House” may have violated non-disclosure agreements.

The seventh episode of “Glass House” aired Monday on ABC.

The 14th season of “Big Brother” is currently airing three nights a week on CBS.

A spokesman for ABC said the network has no comment about the updated lawsuit.

ABC lawyers previously said “Glass House” is different because many of the contestants’ decisions, and who remains in the house, are made by audience votes. Only the first season of “Big Brother” allowed viewers to choose which houseguest was evicted.

What do you think? Are you surprised CBS is pressing forward? Should they drop it?

Big Brother: Last Yak Standing ~ Week 3

“Welcome to the nomination ceremony!” Leo said as he sat they key block on the table. “I didn’t expect to be Head of Household this week, but I am definitely grateful to be here. I’ve loved getting to know everyone over the past couple of weeks. You’ve all been so kind and friendly. Of course, that makes it quite difficult to nominate any of you for eviction. However, it is my responsibility as HOH to do just that. So, here we go…”

Kel
Jarrod
Paulette
Al
Kali
Robbie
Alex
Myst

“I have nominated KC and Justin for eviction. Neither of you really talked to me at all until I became HOH. While I did appreciate our chats today, I wish you would have tried to get to know me as Leo the person instead of Leo the Head of Household. You both have a chance at veto, and I wish you good luck! This nominations ceremony is adjourned.”

Next Up: Who will be chosen for Veto?

Big Brother: The Yak Chats with Latest Evictee JoJo

The Yak had a chance to chat with JoJo, the latest evictee from Big Brother 14. Keep reading to see what she had to say!

______________________________________

The Yak: If Willie had been on anyone else’s team, would you have cared that he got ejected? Do you think that his expulsion was the sole reason you and Shane were put on the chopping block?

JoJo: His explosion was definitely the reason. If he didn’t decide to evict himself he would have been everyone’s main target and than I would have still been in the house. I would have even voted him out myself. He just wasn’t man enough to go out the right way.

The Yak: If you could have a second chance at the BB house, what would your plea be to the viewing audience as to why you should have that second chance?

JoJo: I would not have trusted Willie. I would form new alliances. I regret putting my trust in the wrong person’s hands so I would try and make better alliances.

The Yak: Having been in the house now, do you wish you could have studied other seasons more to gain a better strategy? Would you change your strategy if you got to start all over again?

JoJo: I wish I would have watched Boogie and Janelle’s seasons so I would know a little bit more about how they think and how they play. Most of the strategies you have you can’t really use once you find out what the twist is. If the coaches hadn’t been there it would have been a totally different game.

TheYak: If you had stayed and won HOH, who would you have nominated for eviction this week?

JoJo: I wanted to go after one of Janelle’s players. I would have said Joe and Wil but right before the live show Joe came up to me and had tears in his eyes and told me the sweetest words ever. I look at him differently now. I think I would have put up Frank and Wil. Everyone else is too scared to get rid of Frank.

___________________________________________

Smart move Janey, keeping Frank so he and Willie would go after each other. Ashley wants to slide under the radar, my god, were I there she’d be drop kicked out that door on annoyance alone.

Dan, as always, keeps a strategy thought pattern. Gee Boogie, smart. Go after Willie instead of the last person on Dan’s team. Stupid ass. Why do these idiots always go on emotion, which is something Boogie used to preach against, instead of thinking strategy? And piss off with that CT impression in the DR with Frank.

Willie, having the worst person win HOH isn’t the end. Shane, OMG, you dork. Sure, now you jump ship when the chips are against you. Quite loyal, you are. Britney, you couldn’t have known that Willie would act that way, it’s called hindsight hon.

This is why I like Dan. Telling Danielle to get in good with Janey’s team, she’ll need those votes if Frank decides to play smart and puts her up OR the others will need her vote if she’s not up.

I’m amazed at both JoJo and Shane. On one hand, yes, cover your ass. On the other hand, they can never cry loyal. Jesus, you’d think Jesus arrived at their reaction to Frank’s HOH room.

Okay, Boogie drives me nuts but his kid is cute. He does breed well. The others shouldn’t be gloating too much towards Willie, or make remarks about his bad attitude, they’ll all be in that spot one day too.

Britney was right in lecturing Willie, and Willie’s an uber sore loser.

Oh Danielle, I had hope for you. Shane’s a dope, he’s so ugh. Hon, you can do better. Yes, dear, relationships in the BB house are always so “real”. At my count, in 14 seasons, there’s been TWO couples that have lasted beyond a year. Talk to Skeletor…I mean Erica from BB7 about how real it was for Boogie.

Boogie, piss off, if Britney wants to get rid of Willie, she can you dick. Britney, if you fall for what Boogie’s selling you then you’re a moron. If you win, get rid of Willie and YES, glad you realized it up front.

Ian, WHAT?!? My god, I realize they’re stuck there and options are limited but the taste levels in this house are just insane. He scores the “slop” date with Ashley, this is hilarious. Okay, it’s kind of cute now. But Ian, hon, you have to explain chemistry to a person like Ashley in layman’s terms.

This Britney team strategy is interesting. Do you save your team member or do you blow him off, get rid of him and hang on to your two players that aren’t…well, Willie….

This coach’s comp should be good; Britney wins and the house panics. Oh, Ian…you’re so young. Britney, hon, they’re Hammer Pants. You’re so young too.

Were I Britney, and I won, I’d get rid of Willie for someone on Boogie’s team. Force Frank and Willie together. Dan, par for the course, is going to throw it. Britney, slow down girl. Yup, you got going too fast and screwed up.

Is it me or does Ian remind anyone else of DJ Qualls? And I keep expecting Ashley to say “This one time, at band camp?!?” ROFLMFAO AAAAHAHAHAHAHA Boogie you cocky JERK! You flip your ego onto high gear and stepped off the beam before you hit the button. That’s awesome.

Janey, I loved you but you’re not exactly the comp queen. You won because Boogie’s ego was too big. Gee, will Willie go on slop? Yup. JoJo, Shane..and Ian. Big shocker there but bad move on your part hon. I’d agree with JoJo but JoJo’s a bigger bitch so yeah…pork rinds and pudding, not bad actually….

Good lord, Franks’ nipples rival BB8 Joe’s….

Willie trying to rally the team; Britney, wow….I don’t know how to feel about this. On one hand I don’t blame her, but on the other hand, seems sucky to abandon a player like that too. Russell deciding to get the heat off the others, interesting BB8 ED tactic. Britney, I get your position here, but you don’t have to be a total bitch either. UH OH, Britney stokes the fire and sets Willie off. And Willie, wow, he does seem sincere in wanting to take the heat off the others but that’s only a natural move from the house too. Willie is officially the house pariah.

Okay, so they don’t like him, he’s being a dick, they say he’s a bully so they essentially bully him by ignoring him. The House of Hypocrites. Britney, would YOU want to be totally ignored by the house and treated like crap? I don’t think so. Willie is being a prick, granted, but treat him that way….o there it goes…wow, Willie goes after Joe and Joe looked hilarious in his reaction…let’s just say that when Joe’s threatened he looks like a squirrel backed into a corner.

Smart move Ian, you would have been squished….whoops, there you go chest shoving Joe….oh it was a head butt and Britney, crying, really? You were riding the nut’s ass all day long, what did you expect? Congrats Willie, you’ve been Chima’d. Seriously, Britney, why the tears?!? JOE, STOP SHOUTING IN THE DR!!! At least he recognizes the crap situation Willie was in….

Okay, the only rankings I’m giving are that I like Danielle a lot (except for her crap taste in Shane); Dan’s a really smart coach and player. All the rest are meh right now…and I hope Boogie gets stuck in the workout room for 24 hours with Ashley as she sings every Hippie Dippie song from the 70’s stuck in her head.

So that’s it. Really wish I could’ve watched that fight on the feeds, that would’ve been fun!

Big Brother’s Couch Potato Takes on the Live Show

Weekly (or sometimes more) we have the pleasure of getting the Big Brother take from someone who ONLY watches the show. No feeds, no spoilers, to see how different our perspectives on the players are. Keep reading to see what they think so far!

___________________________________

Better late than never, guys! Extenuating circumstances prevented me from seeing the show live BUT that’s okay because there’s a lot of ways to see it. I recapped it a bit last time and I don’t get why because you guys have seen the show, so yeah, we’re just going with my thoughts from here on out.

Carrot Top Richard Simmons Jr., going into it tonight, is who I thought would leave, seriously. I am not digging this joker. Willie is going on a major power trip right now and yeah, Wee Willie Winky, you are NOT your brother. You are nowhere near as slick as he was.

I am REALLY liking Wil more now. At first I thought he’d be annoying as hell, but he’s actually really smart and thinks things through.

FINALLY! The players start to figure out that if you get out Kara, then Dan’s down to one player and could be on his way out. Britney hit on it well, too, when they talked about how slick, how solid Dan is as a player. And Janey was SMART talking strategy to Dan but dumb move talking to him right in front of Britney. Janey, I thought you were better than that.

I wonder if there IS a twist in the game, with those keyholes, COULD they be entering the game at some point? Britney, you IDIOT, WHY WHY WHY would you tell Willie what you suspect? Did you NOT think ahead that he might get paranoid about it and go to the other players. My god Britney, don’t talk…think. LMFAO, yup, Willie ran to them right away and Britney, sayng you don’t know what he’s thinking, etc. DUH, you KNOW what he’s thinking, you’re the one who freaking told him what you suspect. My god, STUPID.

Britney lit this fire, Willie lead the charge and yeah….

Joe was right, Willie is playing too fast though. He’s right, if they come in the game one of the coaches could walk away with the 500K. So they’re both right. Welcome to the Department of Redundancy Department, Couch Potato.

I really hope there’s a challenge involving head shaving because I so want to see Frank’s hair cut, it drives me crazy.

Willie, Mr. Deflection, throwing himself off the track by mocking Wil in front of Britney. In front of Frank. Stupid ass. Joe saying Willie was trying to dictate who voted, how, wow. Good move Joe saying that, it exposes Willie. IT could have been a bold move by Willie but the way he did it was dumb too.

Congratulations, Frank! You FINALLY realize that you can’t trust Willie, DUH. Stupid ass. Joe, STOP YELLING IN THE DR. Dan was bad enough, you’re worse and everything is part of the game, mocking people, but it’s dumb to do so too in front of a bunch of people, the way Willie did Wil. I loved Wil’s reaction to it; I don’t think Willie’s homophobic but I can understand being upset at being mocked too. And Britney, wow, let’s stoke the fire in Willie a bit more, would you? Her talking about others running their mouths when she’s spreading paranoia too..Hi Pot!

Oh, oh, FIGHT FIGHT! Was it better on the feeds than what was shown? No wait, don’t tell me, tell me at the end of the season. Willie, Wee Willie, you are acting like some messiah guru…let me clue you in, you’re not. Okay, when he got to the Fruit Loops part, yeah, he lost me….Boogie, why jump in? Remember when you were a guest during BB11 and talked about how Kevin avoided conflict? Yeah, you should have remembered that, your outburst was dumb. Just let Willie bury himself. Stupid ass.

By the way, whatsup with Julie’s dress? She looks like a Push-Up pop.

Oh yay, question for JoJo…hon, it’s “ask”, not “aks”. You didn’t expect drama, really? Even week one? Ian, I don’t get him, he borders on adorkable and creepy. Lose the beret Wil. And the see through shirt. You seem to be a smart player, but you annoy me…as does Ashley, “loosey goosey” really? OMG. If Willie doesn’t pull a Chima at some point, I’d be surprised. He’s gonna blow, I can feel it. Boogie is not aging well.

Live vote time! I want Frank to go but wouldn’t be shocked if Kara goes because of Willie’s antics. Frank’s speech…whatever Frank, everyone has fought hard to get there. Look at your coach, he’s a bully too. Kara’s speech….really? Played an honest game? No one plays honest in this game, not 100%. They’d be smart to get rid of Frank; if he doesn’t go now it’s going to be HARD to get him out. Here we go with the votes.

Ian looked like he wanted to hang around in the DR after he voted, LMAO! Julie is right, Jenn is playing like a “Jenius” so far, she’s totally avoiding conflict. Wil, your underwear was showing there. Ashley’s annoying but she’s also laying low. WOW, bye bye Kara. That was both smart and dumb. Frank is a strong player, watch now he gets HOH. Kara going is a good thing, brings Dan’s team down to one player.

Willie looked like he wanted to throw up when Kara was evicted…..love the exit hugs, “Love you. Just evicted your ass but yea, love you”. Poor Danielle, that’s got to be scary as hell.

I think Kara was evicted because of Willie being an ass, honestly, there’s no other reason. Joe, you’re a JERK. STOP SHOUTING YOU DORK. My god, what a douchenozzle. Shane, you’re a pig too.

Okay, HOH time. I want someone on Janey’s team to win HOH, or better yet, Danielle. THAT would be fun, watching the lone player on Dan’s team. Seeing Willie sweat would be fun, but I’d hate for Frank to win because he’s annoying too. LMAO at the BB News thingy! I would have slept on that couch if allowed…why did people continue to go back to bed? So, Shane’s out first, HA. WOW, on the second question, all out but two. Calm down there Frank, dang. Omg Willie looked like he was going to puke again at this point.

OMG LMFAO, Frank is the new HOH. Hilarious! Willie has to pass on the key too. Now, watch both Frank and Boogie go on a massive power trip this week and make the same mistakes Willie did. I can see this already. Smart move for Frank would be to focus on getting Danielle out. She’s out, Dan’s out. That’s one coach out, one less chance of his coach losing the Coach’s Comp. Emotional move would be to nominate Willie and someone else on Britney’s team..Shane or JoJo. Willie, saying Frank will pay back loyalty, really? So wait, Willie can’t dictate to others what’s done but you can talk as if you do?

I don’t think Frank is smart enough to focus on Danielle.

Wow, Coach winning this week’s coaches competition decides whether or not they want to swap a player? I was gonna say someone should snag Frank since Boogie has a man-crush on him but alas, not to be. So my prediction; Frank nominates Willie and someone else from his team. I’m also gonna say that Willie wins POV and fluffs his peacock feathers again. Dan, tell Danielle to lay low bud, that’s her best bet. Let Willie and others implode.

Now I shall rank the players and the coaches on a scale of who I like most to least, 1 is most, 11 is least for the players, 1 is most for the coaches, 4 is least.

1) Danielle
2) Jenn
3) Wil
4) Ian

Honestly, the other six annoy the piss out of me. Joe shouts too much. Ashley is on a permanent free love high, Willie is a wannabe of his big brother, JoJo is just blech, Shane is a LMN wannabe. Frank, don’t get me started, and someone shave his head. If I forgot someone that should say something.

I like Dan the most as a coach, Janey’s next, then Britney and then Boogie. That’s it. Anything good on the feeds since the live show?

The Yak Chats With Big Brother 14’s Kara Monaco

After last night’s eviction from the Big Brother 14 house, Kara Monaco was able to answer a few questions from YakkityYaks forum members, readers and twitter followers. Please note that this interview was done differently than our chat with Jodi, if you will, and as a result only SOME questions we passed along to Kara were answered. Per protocol, not all of our questions were able to be asked/answered, but we appreciate all of your suggestions!

Take that as you will, Big Brother fans, but check out the few thoughts Kara had below. We have our suspicions as to what the reasons might be, but we’ll let you come up with a few on your own.

The Yak: What did you think about the coach twist? Which coach would you have picked if you could have chosen?

Kara: I thought it was cool. It was a good twist. It is something they haven’t done before and it made the game really interesting. Dan is the coach I wanted and would have chosen anyways.

The Yak: After giving it some thought, do you understand why Wil told you that he couldn’t give you his vote?

Kara: Yeah – I guess I understand and it is just a game but it still sucks.

The Yak: If you got a do-over, starting from scratch, how would you have played the game differently?

Kara: I don’t think I would have done anything different. The only thing you can be is yourself and I was. I played an honest game and that is all I could do.

The Yak: One of our members would like to know… if you could steal a smooch with any celebrity, who would it be?

Kara: I have a couple… Ryan Gosling or Alexander Skarsgard. They’re hot.

With that, we wished Kara the best of luck in her future endeavors and let her know some Yakksters were sad to see her go!

Big Brother’s Couch Potato Examines the Houseguests

Note: This feature will be submitted on a weekly basis by one of our Twitter followers! If you’d like to write for the Yak, just let us know and we’ll see what we can do! We’re open and very receptive to participation from all types of Yaks!

So, hello everyone. You’re probably wondering who I am, but I’m not gonna tell…anyone. What I am going to do is give you a unique view of Big Brother 14 (unique for all of you at least). What is that, you ask? It’s the perspective of someone who was formerly like you, a hardcore Big Brother online nerd net fan. I used to watch the feeds all the time, would scour the internet for any and all scoopage and spoilers and of course, read the Yak updates from my phone when I couldn’t get online. But not this year. You see, I’ve decided to sacrifice all of that and give the Yak a perspective it’s not used to…the perspective of a show only watcher. I will not be watching the feeds, I won’t be reading any spoilers. I’ll know house events only when it’s aired on TV and I’ll only know the goings on of the house from what they air.

As we all know, CBS edits the heck out of what it airs. It has to. There’s NO WAY they could air everything you all see on the feeds. In the past, however, that’s left a lot of good stuff out of the aired shows. People who watch JUST the show would have no clue on many things and that’s what I’m going to be this year. I’m giving it all up, and I do this for the Yak.

So, every week, once a week (maybe more if I feel like it) I’ll be sending in my thoughts on each show to one of the prestigious owners of this site. Only they know who I am. I’ve followed the Yak on Twitter for a long time, and one thing I respect the hell out of them for is that they are very limited on what they spoil directly on their Twitter TL. They tweet out that they have them and then give their followers the option to view them on their site. So, I contacted the Yak via DM the other day, asked them if they’d like this perspective and they agreed. So here we go. Keep in mind, when you read this again, that I ONLY know what is aired. I won’t be reading this either on the Yak’s site and unfortunately I won’t be trolling as much as I used to, to purposely avoid spoilers.

First, my thoughts on the newbies:

Frank is the long lost secret child of Richard Simmons and Carrot Top…and a pervert, grabbing the big bed so the last girl w/out a bed has to sleep with him. But, as evidenced by his performance in the first HOH competition, he’s physically fit. I wonder if he’s spastic all the time or if he chills out.

Danielle…cute accent…at first. Then when she talked more I was instantly reminded of Holly from BB5. However, I also liked her attitude in the HOH competition and her approach to Dan when she was facing the instant eviction.

Shane, the house flipper who can’t really say that if you don’t actually sell them. Plus, please get rid of that stupid shell necklace. I don’t know about him, he seems like he’d be someone puffing his chest out as he walked around, cocky as hell.

Jodi – Kalia junior? She wasn’t there long enough to form a true impression but I got the feeling she would have been a constant whiner and drama starter.

Ian – if Michelle from BB11 hadn’t lost her mind she could have found her soul-mate. He is totally adorable. I love his facial expressions and he seems like he could be a VERY smart player. He seems schooled in the game too. Big fan already.

Wil…wow….if I were watching the feeds he’d be interesting to see. He’s also a strong competitor though and since he’s on Janelle’s team, that’s fitting, they seem like they’d get along very well. I imagine him to either be, along with Ian, the house pet of sorts OR VERY annoying.

JoJo immediately bugs the you know what out of me with instant attitude. Dislike, “I always get my bed”. Bite me. I hated her attitude the entire time, she seemed very self-entitled and a total b*tch.

Willie, Russell Hantz’s brother, is interesting. No immunity idol hidden though. But I think he’s got a big hurdle as many instantly suspected him to be a relation to Russell. IF he can surpass that and not make too many waves as the first HOH, he could go far as he seems like a strong competitor as well.

Ah, the stock BB model, former groupie – Kara. That’s about it for her, she honestly didn’t make that much of an impression on me.

Joe the chef – spaz, total spaz. But if he plays it smart and bends to his skills as a chef without bringing a lot of attention to himself, he could go far. I didn’t get much of an impression on him yet either, though.

Jenn – tattoo rock chick – is someone who has to flaunt their uniqueness is dealing with insecurity issues. But I liked her gusto on the HOH competition too. As we all know though, (hi Lydia), her type always gets in the drama and I kinda got that vibe from her. That’s stereotyping though, too.

Spray tan chick, Ashley, headband, hippie dippie says love…seriously, the headband thing is so over. She comes across as annoying as hell. WAY too outgoing, WAY too exuberant. She’d wear me out the first day and I’d be waiting for BB to telling her to shut up. Ashley needs to be cut off from any sort of stimulating substance.

“Most memorable.” “The greats.” That’s how the four returning players were referred to by the Chenbot.

Dan – YES. He WAS a great player, one of the best. I can see this.
He’s going to be a great coach.

Janelle -YEAH! Most competition wins in a season, she’s a total competitor.

Britney – Don’t see how she’s a “great player” but acknowledged that she did get played, and that she didn’t see the big picture. Yes, you do have to prove you can play. But I like her attitude coming into it as well and she was very encouraging to her teammates. I think she has learned from her first time around.

Boogie – It will be interesting to see how he does without Will. Didn’t know he was a dad, that’s cool. But seems to have a grasp on it except saying he’s the best to ever play, which that title belongs to his CT mate, Will. I hope, HOPE, that he and Janelle pair up in some way honestly.

The twist was interesting too. Britney was smart to pick Willie as HOH and I hope he doesn’t let this power go to his head. Dan, I think, made the right choice in eliminating Jodi. The only thing I think she would have been strong at is MAYBE the social aspect. If Willie was smart, he’d nominate the two girls left on Dan’s team and the house has a consensus that even if one comes off the block, the other one is evicted; leaving Dan’s team with just one player on it. You all may already know what the plan is, I won’t know who is nominated until Sunday night. Until next time, enjoy the feeds for me!

The Yak’s Interview with First Big Brother Evictee Jodi Rollins!

The Yak got a chance to chat with Jodi this morning, the first unfortunate evictee from the Big Brother House last night in a twist that had one of the 4 coaches pick who to send home. The consensus, and we let Jodi know this, is that the fans were very disappointed to see her go. We like having actual Big Brother fans in the house! We did give her our condolences for the abduct eviction.

Jodi has such a positive outlook on the whole experience…

Jodi: I was only in there for 8 hours! I knew coming into the house there was a chance I could be home very soon. I love the show, I have to take a chance. I rolled the dice and I lost bigger than any other HG in the shows history… but I tried. You have to always take chances in life.

The Yak: Were you upset about being the first evicted and with the way it happened?

Jodi:  I was devastated, I definitely cried, I wasn’t going to cry on national television, but i was devastated. I don’t regret going though!

The Yak: What did you think of the vet twist?

Jodi: Overall I felt it was unnecessary. Before they got there, it was light and fun, but we knew that would change eventually. But everything was in your hands, you got to play your own chess game. When the coaches entered, it was like remedial Big Brother where you had to wait for someone to tell you what to say and do. If they were there to play it would have been different, but I thought it was unnecessary.

The Yak: Did you know Willie was Russel Hantz’ Brother?

Jodi: In the 8 hours that we were there, that talk never came up. I liked Willie, but I had no idea he was related to Russel.

The Yak: Did you feel threatened by any of the new houseguests, before the coaches showed up?

Jodi: I knew going in that I didn’t want to go up against an Evel Dick or Russell… someone following you areound screaming or banging pots and pans, but once I met everyone there, I didn’t feel terribly threatened by any of them.

The Yak: Was there any new Houseguest that you had trouble connecting with?

Jodi: Joe made no effort to get to no me, no connection at all, I would try to talk to him and he would just… he blew me off.

The Yak: Do you think Dan’s team is in trouble now that he is down a player?

Jodi: Dan’s team is in trouble now based on who he chose. The weaker players though could possible ride on for awhile, not being a threat. The strong people that I liked were on Boogies team and Britney’s team, but that doesn’t mean they will win.

The Yak: How much time before Dan made decision?

Jodi: From the time we lost the competition to the time I was booted was maybe a half hour. As soon as we walked in the house, Dan and I talked for 12 seconds, that’s it… I told him that I really want to stay, I’m a huge fan, the other girls don’t have the wisdom about the game that I do… that was it. I don’t think I got through to him. You can feel whats going on in that house… the minute they announced the losing team would go home, the energy changed. As soon as the coached picked teams, the energy changed. I was trying to think positive but I knew I was going home. The one person that was good to me was Jenn of all people, she hugged me and cheered me on, kissed me on the forehead… no one else did that.

The Yak: Do you think your being booted had anything to do with Sexism, Ageism, Racism etc.

Jodi: For me, I don’t see it as racism. I don’t think Dan is some sort of a racist. You can’t be in that house without pre-judging and what do know about the Big Brother game? Black women don’t win, older people don’t win. (I guess I am an older person now haha) But… I’m the least threatening in the house, all the coaches knew that, so I think he went against what he actually should have done cause I was a nothing. [as far as the game goes.]

The Yak: Did you know there was a twist going in? That more people would show up?

Jodi: Shane and I started counting the beds within a half hour, so we knew there was more people coming. Also, on the memory board the way they had it set up, there was this little crack in it and I peeked in and could see there were more screens, so we figured more were coming. We didn’t know if it would be veterans or what, but we knew there was a twist coming.

The Yak: What would you have done differently with the twist if you could or what would you have hoped it would be?

Jodi: I would have liked to have seen people who left too soon come back. It would have made a more interesting show. People who went out the first few weeks kind of wrongly. People who didn’t get a shot, but didn’t make bad decisions. Not like a Keith or Lawon that got themselves kicked out, but like others who just didn’t get a chance to play the game.

The Yak: Did you even get to unpack?

Jodi: No we didn’t unpack. We came in from the competition, the bags were near the door… We had no idea. I even left barefoot. I was there a total of 8 hours!

The Yak: Does it bother you, as a Superfan, that there are people in the house now that don’t even know anything about the show?

Jodi: Not really because… I think everyone is there to play the game. What would bother me is just those that are in there to try and get famous.

The Yak: Once you saw the coaches, whose team were you hoping to be on?

Jodi: I know it’s funny and ironic now, but I wanted Dan. I thought we made a connection. We talked a lot before we went out there…

The Yak: Who do you think has the strongest chance to go all the way and who do you think may already be dead in the water?

Jodi: I think Shane is part boy next door and part go-getter? I think Joe is really nice and no one will think to get him out. I think Willie and Frank could go all the way… those are the ones that stand out in my mind. Dani, Kara and Ashley I think are dead in the water.

The Yak: After the vets came in, were you excited to see them? Any one that surprised you?

Jodi: I was actually kind of disappointed in Britney. She didn’t make any effort to get to know me, no engaging, I was disappointed. Dan talked to me, Boogie, Janelle… But Britney never really even talked to me at all.

The Yak: If you were to have stayed, who would you have liked to see evicted? Who would you have worked with, or wanted to go to the final two with?

Jodi: I would have evicted Ashley. I wouldn’t make too many enemies by getting rid of her. I would have really liked to work with Willie and Shane. Last 2, maybe someone like JoJo because she is a real polarizing figure and you need that in the final 2.

The Yak: What was your impression of the Big Brother House?

Jodi: I was so excited to actual just be there! I looked in the drawers, I looked in the couch, the decorations… are they glued down, do they work… I touched the pillows… I just touched everything! I was in the Big Brother house and I just needed to touch everything. I thought the house was well decorated and fun! I even named the rooms! I wonder if the room names will stick. I went upstairs and looked down, played with the chess set, looked in the fridge… Until I was booted it was a dream come true.

The Yak: Are you in sequester, and do you think you may get to go back in and play?

Jodi: I wouldn’t know if I get chance to come back in but I can’t say where I am. [laugh]

Thank you Jodi, it was truly a pleasure! We fans were very sad to see you go so soon!
