Ok Big Brother fans. Dani is out. Jeff is out. A new supply of tissues has arrived in the storage room and for the first time we get to see the blowout between Shelly, Jeff and Adam that happened only 45 minutes prior to airtime last Thursday.
Rachel confronts Jeff regarding his throwing the POV contest, a charge he denies. The next day just before the live eviction show, he finally confronts the blonde mother and wife. Just prior to this WWE extravaganza, Shelly grabs Adam and accuses him of lying to her. She’s convinced he’s been snitching to Jeff. Adam responds ‘Uhhh, no, uhhh, no I didn’t, uhhh.’
After letting Shelly know Big Jeff isn’t pleased, he pulls Adam into the tarot room to get his side of this film noir. Seconds later, Shelly bursts in demanding satisfaction, i.e. tries to stage a magic act. Unfortunately, she screws up her lines so our little actress readies herself for her close up by attempting to deflect the blame onto Adam, claiming he agreed to vote to keep Dani. This is a complete fabrication and a poorly written script. Mr. Jeff DeMille is boiling, so nothing our Norma Desmond wannabe says will placate him as he tosses her headlong into the orchestra pit.
Adam, Jeff, Jordan and Rachel gather to discuss the situation and once again, Shelly flies into the room, ready for a take down. Rachel ducks and makes a quick exit as Shelly begins to weave a web. For the first time, Adam is on the defensive and isn’t taking this lying down. The Jersey boy pushes for Shelly to answer the questions she’s being asked. Though Shelly’s on the ropes, she refuses to give in and continues to dance around the ring. Jordan sits on a bed, wide eyed in disbelief. The beanbag POV scandal rises again and when Shelly discloses Dani told her about Jeff’s faux pas, he strikes back with, why didn’t you come directly to me and just ask? At the gong of the bell, Shelly exits tattered but not defeated. Out of spite or out of necessity, she ends up supporting Dani, but her plan backfires. Adam sticks with Jeff and it’s ciao bella, Dani grabs a cab to the JH.
At the end of double eviction Jeff and Rachel are on the block. Apparently we now know Jeff’s temper may have played a role in his own demise. Shelly does indeed vote him off and no amount of let bygones be bygones is going to reverse his future. You’re OUT! Oddly enough, Jeff believes it was Adam who voted against him. The elf sits on the sofa in disbelief. This may be another nail in the remaining vets’ coffin. Jordan and Rachel may have lost Adam for good with that little accusation. Thanks lover. Jeff slams the door open and storms out to a rare complete standing ovation by the audience. Still his days in the Big Brother compound are over.
What’s not over is the fighting. Get ready for round three!
After Jeff leaves, Jordan, Rachel and Adam end up in the tarot room. Adam stares blankly into space wondering what the hell just happened? Jordan is beside herself, not for the fact Jeff left, but for being stupid and trusting Shelly. She now realizes she’s been duped and it’s breaking her poor, sweet country girl heart.
The catalyst to our final round is Jordan suspecting (and saying out loud) she consistently hailed Shelly as a great woman and role model. Meanwhile the southern mommy was probably saying “Ha ha,” in the DR. Eavesdropping at the door, this is Shelly’s cue to enter stage right and give Jordan what for. Shelly eavesdrops quite a bit it seems. Our North Carolina belle makes no bones that she doesn’t want to talk to her. Shelly’s response is to get very loud and pretty much in your face. With tears at the ready, she declares, no matter how upset Jordan is with Shelly’s choice to switch parties, this is all about how Shelly feels like s***, too.
“Good, you should feel like s***,” Jordan shoots back. Shelly refuses to back down and attempts to deflect the subject with a real zinger to the effect that she’s not playing Jeff’s game and that’s why Jordan is angry. Shelly is a clairvoyant, you know. This is where Jordan stops just short of Kung F U’ing Shelly’s head off. Wrong lady, it’s about trust and the misuse of that trust. Before Jordan can don pink kickboxing booties, Rachel drags her out of there and back to the candy bedroom, begging her to calm down. Shelly remains in tow until she hits the kitchen and realizes she would like a cup of tea. This is the Jordan many fans know and love from BB 11, when she chest bumped Russell in a fit of anger. She’s feisty.
Before we can catch a breath, it’s time for the HOH competition. The HGs must traverse a ball on a flat serpentine shape, getting it as close to the end as possible. Depending where the ball falls, points are awarded. Jordan has 18 points and the others must battle it out to have a shot playing head to head against our carnival game queen. Adam loses his round. Rachel loses hers and sits down in a lump, tears in her eyes. This exhibition is not lost on Shelly who takes the opportunity to ridicule her.
The last round pits Porsche against Jordan Try as she might, Jordan cannot pull off a win. Porsche is now head of household to the delight of the newbies. Rachel and Jordan grab another box of tissues from storage and hunker down in their bedroom to bemoan their loss. The one bright spot is at least one of them will get to go hang out in the JH with their boyfriend. The downside is the remaining team member will be stuck with the newbies who are busy prancing about, gloating with glee. Hey, Porsche beat them, fair and square at the most critical moment.
Shelly confronts Adam with a well placed ‘I told you so’ and they hug it out. Adam, no stranger to which side his bread is buttered, is now realigned with the newbies while the vets have pretty much given up. Jordan has cried so much she no longer has enough water in her body to produce any more tears. Fortunately, Rachel has that covered, with enough to fill a small pond, which she does.
In Porsche’s HOH room she discovers a Pandora’s box. Alright now, this should be fun. She contemplates her decision with the added temptation of two $5K prizes and a bottle of champagne. To claim her prize she must accept any other consequences Pandora has in store. She marches into the hidden room to find two more envelopes. Congratulations, you have $10k to split with another HG and if you don’t mind, please go downstairs and read the next envelope aloud to your remaining roommates.
The group assembles in the living room and Porsche reads their Big Brother fate. The duo twist is being revived for one week. They must partner up now. Porsche/Kalia are automatically safe from eviction due to Kalia’s HOH status. Rachel/Jordan and Shelly/Adam join hands. All six will play for the POV.
Soon after, light dawns on Marblehead Harbor and Porsche realizes she may have released a monster. Should the vets win the veto, Shelly and Adam will automatically become the replacement nominees reducing their ranks by one, something they can ill afford. Jordan and Rachel are beside themselves with new hope. Inevitably, the two will begin to look at their options. It’s not their first time at the opera and no fat lady has begun to sing. Anything is possible with a good strategy and a little luck. Pandora’s Box handed them the luck, now they need to step it up to save themselves. Competition wise, the duo has been running cold for weeks now. This is their last chance to remain in the Big Brother arena. Can they do it?
It’s not over yet folks. The next battle should be a nail biter.
