April leaves the building – don’t forget me, Ollie!
Soon after, Ollie intoned, Game…on.
See, I thought the game alreadyhadbegun, andwason.
In fact, I have a vague memory of every single contestant saying it at least 15 times.
Am I thinking of another season?
Oh, wait, no, Im not:Will you houseguests like stop saying, Game on!?
Wow, Im glad I got that off my chest.
Its a dream come true.
I half-expected her to summon Dan to feed her grapes while she was interrogating people.
Whats fascinating about her approach is she never let houseguests take the sycophantic lead.
Or are you not ready to answer a hard question?
and watched them get flustered.
What next, arent you going to let me say that the game is now on?
Didnt she realize that shes not HOH forever?
If she started threatening to put everyone up, pawn or not, shed be dead next week.
Thats an offer youcanrefuse.
Sadly, the only person she seemed impressed by was Ollie.
But Ollie is really good at being whoever anybody wants him to be.
Hell, hed probably agree with a bird once he got through soiling his pants.
I have to look vulnerable to these people right now.OLLIE: Im not saying dont!
But thatsexactlywhat he said, just one sentence ago, actually using the word dont.
This guy goes wherever the wind blows.
But at least Jerry will always be there to break his fall.
(What was with Jerry following Ollie and April around the whole time?
I think when Jerry served in the Marines, he served in the elite C-blocker division.
What, youve never heard of them?
Uh, YouTube proves otherwise, April: Weve all seen what goes on under your blanket of passion.
NEXT PAGE: Slop an attitude
And what of the challenges this week?
The food comp rock, paper, scissors with slop, pig ears, and crickets was pretty dull.
If anything, they should have changed up the gross food with every round.
Once youve seen one person eat crickets, you lose interest in seeing another.
And what the hell was Jerry doing gagging on slop?
If hed been eating it for four weeks, why the sudden disgust now?
But that was less confusing than the odd scratching he wrote on his card when making his bet.
Wait, was he summoning help?
It was also helpful in that it exposed which of the housemates had little-to-no estimation skills.
With Dan winning the POV, it was time for April and Jerry to suck up.
Nevertheless, he explained it away by citing his street-fighter mentality.
Thats Jerry: If someone brings a knife to a fight, he brings a gun.
And if they bring their pants hitched up to their waists, he hitches his up to his nipples!
Thats the Chicago AARP way!
Someone seems to have dropped something shiny on the ground.
But both approaches failed, as Dan kept nominations the same.
With Renny making crazy threats about putting everyone else up, why would he risk giving her the opportunity?
The resultant rictus of frozen panic/forced nonchalance by April was priceless.
So its not a bribe unless its specific?
Ill have to remember that next time I get a speeding ticket.
Nothing, except do dishes and make cakes and give people stuff.
Jeez, youd think the house was about to evict Mary Poppins.
I really like Dans game play.
I dont think hes creeping under the radar; unlike someone like Chicken George, he has a plan.
Everything he does is thought out, including the announcement of a bribe.
Hes fun to watch, just as long as he uses his indoor voice.
(Or, as Ollies dad, Ed, called it, a showmass.
Look, I dont begrudge the man for not knowing the term.
Imagine how much smarter wed all be if our brains werent filled with reality lingo?
To which I say: Is there any way we can sell Arizona back to Mexico?
Ultimately, April was voted out, 4-1.
(And no HOH results yet, as the episode ended with another open-ended endurance contest.)
I, for one, am sorry to see her go.
Not because it tore apart her great love affair with Ollie.
So, do you think Dans shift to winner has come at the right time?
Will Jerry rub his belly to victory?
And, now that April is out, can her relationship with Ollie endure?
Or will he takecomfortfrom another housemate?
