Tiffany-Frank

Tiffany and Frank high five her Roadkill win

July 15th was basically a feeds-free day during daylight hours with the houseguests only coming on the screen briefly in the morning after the HOH nominations. Paulie surprised nobody when he put up Tiffany and Natalie for eviction. Then the feeds went out for the rest of the day to return late at night after the Roadkill competition. They were making dinner after eleven o’clock so it must’ve been a mighty long challenge. Once the feeds returned we learned that household power changed hands once again when Tiffany won the Roadkill competition and told only Frank/Bridgette. So, if their alliance wasn’t solidified before, it definitely is now. They high-five in the Have-Not bumper car room and then Tiffany secretly nominates Corey for eviction. If he ends up getting evicted this week, the entire Big Brother house dynamic would shift once again into a whole new dimension of gameplay. What will happen to those showmancers? Love on the rocks is what.

Paulie

Paulie holds court in his bossypants

In the meantime Paulie succumbs to a raging case of HOHitis, holding court in various houseguest configurations while proudly sporting a pair of cranky grandpa bossypants. He’s due for a major takedown because Paulie keeps declaring how Tiffany can’t beat him in the Power of Veto competition and such proclamations are rarely followed with victory. Statistically speaking, unless you’re Muhammed Ali, overconfidence and underestimating one’s opponent foretells failure and sometimes even agonizing humiliation. But we don’t wish Paulie ill-will… it’s just that sometimes we make predictions based on Big Brother precedent. Those on pedestals often fall farthest.

Paul

Late night Paul

Paul gives a solo “late night friendship with Paul” talk at around 3:30AM to chat about various topics but mostly about his beard. The one audience question the houseguests received on the live show Thursday was whether Paul would shave it to stay in the house. So, in his “friendship talk” he said please don’t make me do that, guys. It’ll be all pale under there and it took four years to grow. It’s cute (and wrong) that Paul thinks it’s up to us. America has zero power this season on Big Brother, at least thus far, anyway.

Natalie-James

Bumper car banter between Natalie and James

Right now we think the most interesting partnership in the house remains James and Mama Day. Fiercely loyal to each other, they roll with external punches while looking out for their interests as a duo. It seems like they both have the long term game top-of-mind in a way the other houseguests don’t. Right now it looks like Day and James may drop the showmancers (Corey/Nicole & Paulie/Zak) in order to work with Frank and Tiffany instead, or at least in addition… but we’ll soon find out how it all shakes out for real. At one point on the evening of July 15th James points out to Frank and Nicole that, “It could’ve just stayed us four,” and sighs, speaking about how the returners could have kept their alliance strong. He and Mama Day have talked about this before as well. They’ve kept their side of the returner alliance strong but Nicole and Frank both veered off on their own paths. In fact, now Nicole and Frank are on opposite sides even as they pretend to still have a Final2 pact with each other. It’s as if they each have a pair of crossed fingers permanently behind their backs.

As of around 3:30AM Frank and Tiffany are making games plans together including that he’ll take her off the nomination block if he wins the Veto this week. “Can you imagine the look on their faces?” he asks about the showmancers. Meanwhile Natalie and James have a flirty, non-game late night rendezvous in a bumper car. The other two showmances share the HOH bed for the night. Paulie and Zakiyah snuggle up on one side while Corey and Nicole share the other. They seem a bit oblivious to the storms raging below them in the rest of the house, which just means it’s going to be that much more fun when the rains finally fall on it all.

Quote of the day:

Paulie says, “If Tiffany would have just kept her mouth shut and stayed loyal, I would have just back doored her,” from his pedestal.

Team Unicorn: James, Natalie

The July 14th live show started with an excited audience on the edge of our seats due to the multitudinous flip flops all the live long day and night… and day again. The TV producers portrayed much of it in the early stages including when Michelle, Mama Day, and Nicole first make a pact to keep Tiffany and evict Bronte. They swear an oath to keep it quiet but of course it’s all around BB sketch-city by mid-afternoon when Paulie puts the nix on the “Keep Tiff” plan in the backyard. The show made funny stuff out of James perched high on the lawn chair for his pronouncement that he’s “playin Big Brother” giving it a soundtrack and everything.

Michelle-Nicole

Nicole – busted in front of Mama Day

As we know, Frank and Da’vonne were after each other all week with Nicole stuck between them. James chose Mama Day’s side early on. But the TV show focuses on Nicole’s particular plate of waffles. She’s been waffling all week and now it’s finally time for Nic to choose sides. Initially it appears that Nicole aligns with Frank just because “it could be good for her to have a side alliance with Corey and Bridgette,” but this deal between them was never really cemented – merely penciled-in as an idea. Frank, though, makes the monumental error (which Nic warned him not to do) of telling Michelle about this idea to sack Day soon as if it’s a done deal. Michelle is TIGHT with Da’vonne and confronts Nicole right in front of Mama Day. This, of course ruins Frank’s chances to gain Nicole’s trust while at the same time making us LOVE Michelle. Nicole will continue to pretend with Frank going forward but it’s all lies. She’s anti-Frank now.

Next the show reveals the BIG 10PM conversation about keeping Tiffany just in order to rattle Frank and hopefully prevent him from winning HOH. So, the audience without the feeds was semi-prepped for the Frank blindside we feedsters all saw coming. In the eviction ceremony, Tiffany gave a biting speech about a dictator (Frank) and his Cabbage Patch Kid (Bridgette) before Bronte claimed to never say anything mean in her brief adieu. We all heard Bronte talk about “sending James back to Hong Kong” on the feeds only a couple weeks ago, though. Nobody’s perfect, we know, which is why we don’t claim to be. Glass houses and all. But hey, Bronte, here’s a newsflash: You’re meaner than you think… Also, what’s Mandarin for goodbye?

Frank-Bridgette

Reactions when Bronte is evicted

The VOTES of July 14th

Frank-Tiff
Natalie-Tiff
James-Tiff
Michelle- Bronte
Nicole- Bronte
Zakiyah- Bronte
Corey- Bronte
Paulie- Tiffany
Da’vonne- Bronte

Michelle

Michelle’s hilarious fake fury after eviction

Bronte is therefore evicted and in her Julie interview we learn she found out twenty minutes before that she’d be leaving. It was a good thing they told her because Bronte hadn’t even packed a bag at that point. After this high drama and Michelle stomping around the house in a delightful display of fake frustration, the HOH competition, called “Euro trippin,” is true or false questions, just as the houseguests anticipated and prepped for. Still, half the house goes out on the first damn question and then it quickly ends up a trio with Nicole, Paulie, and Frank in the final three. Then Paulie reluctantly wins HOH and thus, Category4 is safe for the week.

Mama-Day

Mama Day realizes she needs to talk less

After the show Mama Day and Frank scream at each other in the Japan room and then make up soon after, shaking hands with it’s just a game-type muttering. Frank then grills everyone, especially Nicole, and can’t imagine how he’s a dictator when he “never lies” and “never said that” and “doesn’t tell people what to do” and although everybody’s smiling and nodding he’s not fooling anyone other than his Cabbage Patch Kid, which is 100% true. They’re all aligned against him and he can finally feel it now that they set off their own brand of glitter bomb in his face – a bomb named Bronte.

Natalie-James

“I wanted to tell you…” James to tearful Natalie

Tiffany has a few breakdowns throughout the night and then a 2AM ends up aligning with Frank. If that alliance sticks, it would be a tough team to overcome. They talk in the bumper car room about blowing this whole thing up after Tiffany tells Frank the whole group was in on it, so it doesn’t matter who cast what vote. They were ALL out to get him and he can’t trust anything any of them say. So, now Frank knows the whole deal pretty much and they both have the majority of the house aligned against them but are fully aware and ready to fight. One thing Frank says to Tiffany in their two o’clock chat summarizes the last game move particularly well, “They ruined everything by not sending me home and thinking they were sending a big ‘fuck you’ to me,” oh yeah, that’s right. Evicting the less dangerous player to “send a strong message” actually sends a weak one. And what an apt reminder that BB is all about ruination and distraction and sending the wrong-ass people home. We love it. Let’s play the game of Big Brother, baby.

It’s gonna be a hell of week thanks to all the events of July 14th! Get ready to rumble Big Brother style.

Quotes of the day:

Bridgette: Apparently I’m really bad at reading people.

Natalie: No, you’re good.

The Veto competition player pick resulted with Natalie and Paulie joining Bridgette and the three nominees to play in the challenge. Because of the feeds, we already know Bridgette wins the Veto but it’s fun watching the houseguests scramble before the comp even begins; worrying about what might happen and what they’ll do based on possible results.

Bronte-Tiffany

Bronte amplifies Tiffany’s failure

It’s a recipe competition involving ingredients and sequences with memory playing an important role. The fun part is that when they fail the bowls they mix their ingredients in explode in their face, covering them in colorful glitter. It’s particularly funny when Paulie explains how he’s going to do better than his brother did in this same competition just seconds before his bowl blows up in his face. When Tiffany loses, Frank, James, and Corey are a bit excessive in their celebration as can be seen in our featured photo this week. Speaking of excessive celebrations, Frank crushes Bridgette’s ankle during their cheering and she ends up on crutches, smiling. Then Bronte tells the, utterly defeated, Tiffany that she “did so well,” and “nice job,” because Bronte apparently mistook all those math classes for social skills lessons.

Bridgette

She’s talking about Frank… before thanking him

Next we see Frank telling Bridgette he won the Roadkill this week and the first one too. You know, the one where he put HER up for eviction. She then reaches the pinnacle of Bridgette weirdness when she thanks him for putting her up. She’s creepy AF right after too when she says, “Frank really knows best,” as if this is some kind of fifties family TV show – black, white and perfectly ominous. Then we see the Veto ceremony in which Bridgette doesn’t use the Veto. Paul makes a funny comment about the results in the Diary Room saying that, “Like most antibacterial soaps, he’s 99.9%” sure he’s staying in the house this week. And for once, a Big Brother houseguest is correct about that.

IMG_3705

Don’t tell a soul… until 3 minutes have passed

Meanwhile on the feeds things have been back and forth all week with the cage affecting the players a bit more every day. They’re climbing those walls in multitudinous emotional ways. Tiffany rarely leaves the bed and then when she does gets shunned at every turn. Still, even with her absence duly noted in every conversation, the tide turned in her favor anyway. After many many waffles, enough to cause a gluten catastrophe, finally, on July 13th at 10PM, a team of Keep Tiffany formed, with a seeming certainty to vote out Bronte. Composed of Zakiyah, Paulie, Corey, Michelle, and Nicole; the team talked and talked and talked and decided to tell NOBODY. They were so sure of it they said so many times before repeating it a few more. 100%. In fact, they seemed so certain that they actually TOLD Tiffany about it right after agreeing not to tell anybody. It’s a typical BB mind-fuck that’s often used to cement an alliance member into your clutches. See how loyal we are? See how transparent? We’re telling you everything when we could have said nothing. So, even though half of the “everything” is that not too long ago we were evicting you, just focus on the other half. OK?

Shaheen Soorani: Expensive Sorcery Master

Posted by Brian David-Marshall | Games, Magic

If you are among the many fans of “Expensive Sorcery Master” Shaheen Soorani waiting for him to unveil the latest iteration of Eldritch Moon illuminated control decks for Standard you will have to wait until after the Pro Tour — or possibly until he does he deck tech in the Tournament Center. Recent success at the Grand Prix level earned him an invite to Pro Tour Eldritch Moon and in Brazil two weekends ago essentially qualified himself for the next handful of Pro Tours, when he finished in the Top 4 of the event alongside teammates Pascal Maynard and Brian Braun-Duin.

Soorani is usually not the globe-trotting adventurer when it comes to Magic; certainly less-so than his two GP teammates. Pascal Maynard was in the thick of the Grand Prix Player of the Year race right up until the end of last season and has demonstrated a willingness to play Magic in any time zone or hemisphere (even if he can’t pass the foil Tarmogoyf). Brian Braun-Duin — aka BBD — is the front-runner in this year’s GP race and is priced into playing a GP in Antarctica if they announced one. Soorani’s Pro Point coffers were not as full.

“Prior to this trip I had 13 pro points on the year with two GP slots at 1 point,” said Soorani of his thinking about heading to South America to play in a team Grand Prix. “After losing that heart-breaker to (Andrew) Cuneo for my win-and-in earlier this year at GP Houston, I booked travel for every North American GP coming up. I really wanted to make a run for it this year and after spiking a 13-2 at GP New York, it all started coming together. I wanted to lock Silver before the PT, and this and the GP in Sydney were the last options. Team Sealed is by far my favorite format, BBD is one of my closest friends, so the decision was fairly easy for me despite the cost and distance.”

The trip was a huge success for all parties invloved. Maynard assured himself Platinum status for next season and Braun-Duin managed to maintain his meager lead over Tomoharu Saito for the invite to the World Championship that comes with winning the Grand Prix Player of the Year title. For Soorani locking up Silver meant he would be qualified for three PTs in a row but perhaps more importantly, Grand Prix Sao Paulo marked the first time he had the chance to play in the elimination rounds at the GP or PT level.

“It was a surreal moment for me to finally play after the Swiss rounds were up. The experience was shadowed by a devastating Humble the Brute — a one-outer — off the top of our opponent’s library in the final possible turn to dash our GP victory dreams, but when the dust settled I had finally made it to a GP to 8. I Top 8’d five SCG Invitationals in a row, which are arguably more competitive than an average GP, but not having one Grand Prix top 8 was starting to make me doubt my competitive abilities. To summarize my experience in one word; relief,” said Soorani who was coming off missing the Top 8 in GP NY on tiebreakers.

All those Invitational Top 8s, near-misses at Grand Prix, and other success are much more impressive when you consider Soorani’s gainful employment. He is a teacher and his time is accounted for every Monday through Friday. The summer is a sweet spot for him when it comes to playing in events.

“That was the only reason I was able to travel as far as I did for GP Sao Paulo. My girlfriend is definitely not a fan of the amount of time I’m away, but she knows that I love this game and it’s become so much more than a hobby,” said the lover of control decks who was dubbed The Expensive Sorcery Master by Pro Tour Hall of Famer Gabriel Nassif during Pro Tour: Amsterdam. I was actually doing a deck tech with him and the French player crowned him that after another Hall of Famer, none other than Kai Budde, snorted derisively at a Thought Hemorrhage.

“(He) asked why it wasn’t Thoughtseize or a good card. Since then I embraced that title, using cards like Mass Polymorph at a Pro Tour, and just using cards that had great control power regardless of their mana cost,” he said proudly. “Control is a way of life and not a tournament-by-tournament decision. I believe it takes the most skill, ingenuity, creativity, and love for the game to create and pilot a control list.”

That reasoning sounds somewhat emotional but when you strip all the pride and self-identification away, there is actually a very specific and concrete reason that Soorani has elected to play with his expensive sorceries (and instants).

“The reason why I chose control and dedicated my career in Magic to this more difficult path, is to be able to win against any foe regardless of mana flooding. It sounds pretty basic, but control decks love to draw lands and filter them through a Sphinx’s Revelation, or Dig Through Time. When midrange or aggro decks hit that clump of land they are toast. When I started playing competitive Magic and saw that happen, I decided to run with control and never looked back.”

If you could pick any single player who embodies the opposite of everything Soorani believes in regard to Constructed Magic it would be his playtesting teammate for the upcoming Pro Tour, Craig Wescoe.

“Wescoe and I couldn’t be farther apart with playstyle, so I’m sure my criticisms of aggro and his of control may be a bit harsh,” laughed Soorani about his team which also includes Chris Fennell. “My hope is his experience developing strategies to beat control, and my experience developing strategies to beat aggro, will improve both archetypes during testing.”

He is always excited to share his unique view of attacking Standard but is doing his best to keep his tongue bitten between now and Round Four of the Pro Tour.

“I’ve worked with teams before and those events were Block Constructed or Extended PTs, so it was easy to keep my mouth shut,” said the popular strategy columnist. “This is the most difficult situation I’ve ever been put in for a Pro Tour, because it’s Standard and I can’t say anything in articles or on social media. What a nightmare!”

Gold status for next year is within Soorani’s reach although he may need to stand on his tip-toes to grab it. He will need a 12-3 finish at GP Sydney and then at least a 12-4 at the Pro Tour the following weekend.

“I decided to give professional Magic my all, for at least the remainder of this year leading up to Pro Tour: Dublin. You can expect to see me at every GP — minus my best friend’s wedding the weekend of Atlanta — in the near future,” said the Sao Paulo semifinalist. “I’ve been playing competitive Magic for quite some time, but I’ve never — until now — given it 100% due to work and school. I want to see if this old dog has enough energy left in him to achieve greatness.”

There are two different experiences, both called “Big Brother”.

One is the television show Big Brother, as the CBS producers present it to broadcast tv audiences, three times per week. But the other is what is actually going on in the Big Brother house; the experience of the house guests, unfiltered — or at least less filtered — by television editors.

Nicole-Day-Michelle

Deciding to keep Tiffany and oust Bronte

Big Brother house or Waffle House? July 12th feeds raise this question high to the sky because these houseguests have officially moved into waffle city. Everybody is up each other’s butts with whispers and plans while shifting back and forth between tactical choices. Most of the plans involved changing the vote to send out Bronte rather than Tiff and then they evolved into taking out Frank next week.

After a swift resolution among Nicole, Michelle, Mama Day, James, and Zakiyah to get Bronte out and keep Tiffany this week, Paulie poo pooed the whole deal. He quickly convinced Zakiyah applying his sensual magic superpowers in a hammock chat. Then, much more slowly and carefully, he shifted the others back to evicting Tiffany with a long talk on the fake grass. So, after all this backyard discussion, the houseguests shifted gears back to evicting Tiffany. It helped when Paul came out to join them and they were forced to change the conversation anyway. Not only is Paul “on the block” this week but Bronte is “his girl” so any talk about ousting her has to end when he comes around. Thus the convo changes  to the topic of getting Frank out and all the potential scenarios for doing it. Paul has established a new habit of referring to himself as “your boy” which is a nice little trick that makes them feel like he’s on their side. It’s kind of simple and obvious but seems to be working too.

Tiffany-or-Bronte

The BIG backyard convo – led by Paulie

Confusion reigned all night long because alliances crumbled like chips on game day as character loyalties flipped with each conversation. The Mayor of Waffle City prize probably goes to Paul who has basically every iteration of alliances convinced he’s their willing pawn. There was a hilarious conversation in the London room that began with Day/Corey/Nicole/Michelle at around 3:30AM Big Brother time and was still rolling full blast, with Paul and James now included, after five AM. The main focus of the convo circled around the question: How do we get Frank out pre-jury? The bonus being a Bridgette/Better Crocker eviction.

Michelle-Paul

Michelle confronts “your boy” Paul

At one point “your boy” Paul joins them to talk a big game about how he’d nominate Frank if he won HOH and gives great speech for what he’d say to Frank = TV gold and getting everybody excited. James played the voice of reason role at times, giving examples of how you never know what might happen from his previous season. He says the least risky route is the backdoor plan but they never really land on a plan because, after all, it’s pointless. Who knows what’ll actually happen next week? If any of them did they’d be buying a PowerBall ticket, not sitting in a cage with twelve strangers they can’t stand. There are so many houseguests it makes for countless potential scenarios but they’ll try to consider all of them anyway. All the while Michelle keeps the laughs coming with cute quips.

Mama-Day

Mama Day muttering “stupid, stupid people”

In the end at around five or six AM Paul tells Bronte that the info he’s told her is getting back to James via Natalie. Bronte immediately tells Natalie this and then when Paul sees them whispering frantically  in the bathroom they tell him it’s because Natalie got her period. He jokes around with them to try to ease the tension and then reports back to Corey, Nicole and Day that they weren’t freaking about anything game-related. At the same time James talks to Bridgette which Da’vonne sees as she walks by, Day tells the others she saw this and assumes he’s collecting information and the circle goes round and round an the painted ponies go up and down. This was the tenor of the night and even the early morning on and on and on.

In the end pretty much everybody ended up with a smear on their character; some more innocuous than others. Of all of them, Michelle probably ended up with the fewest scars. Her worst crime was when Paul entered the London room during the BIG conversation and she confronted him outright in front of everyone about one of the things they were wondering if he did (telling Bronte something). Others took a lot more heat, whether they knew it or not. Nicole got busted for being in on Frank’s plan to backdoor Mama Day, Paul and James were called out for giving too much info to their “showmances,” Natalie and Bronte. Bridgette and Frank both got slammed continuously for their HOHitis and subsequent master-of-the-house attitudes. But the biggest overall conclusion seems to be that all the showmances are “on blast” as they like to say in the BB House. The only houseguests not paired up in any way (Frank and Bridgette are an honorary showmance BTW) are Mama Day, Tiffany, and Michelle. So, arrows were flying at all the duos and defenses were raised.

Paulie-Paul-James

An eternal strategic chat as dawn breaks

After all the early morning strategizing, Paul made bacon breakfast, like the home-maker extraordinaire he’s recently become, filling the fractured Big Brother house with the smells of a happy, functional homestead. Yes, folks, it’s that easy to make it all better the morning after a long night of gossip, strategy, and slander.

Quote of the day:

Paul: When you guys see my DR sessions you’re all going to effin’ be in tears.

Michelle: I’m glad… somebody’s gonna have to make up for mine. They’re terrible.

Big- Brother-18

Bikes call out to be ridden by beautiful bods

In the Big Brother house of July 11th the houseguests awakened much earlier than on the 10th, mainly just to sunbathe and whisper once the Veto ceremony ended. Bridgette left things as they were with her POV: Power of Veto and thus, the whispering proceeded from there. Mainly people muttered about either getting Frank out of the house or how much it blows to be a Have-Not, especially when it’s somebody’s birthday.

Corey

Corey – calorie deprived with a bumper car bed

Corey can’t sleep much in the bumper car beds and subsisting primarily on peanuts or popcorn, even all day, isn’t quite enough calories for the six foot six dynamo. He sat out in the sun with the others. We could tell, though, that Corey wasn’t feelin’ it no matter how good he looked doin’ it. Still, all we can think is that Corey promised us sleepwalking in his pre-show interview and the guy has been utterly disappointing on this front. Granted, Nicole peeing her pants was pretty darn entertaining, but Corey sleepwalking just brings up soooooo many enticing late-night feed possibilities. Alas, if the stress of bumper car beds aren’t bringing it on, probably nothing will. Meanwhile in the realm of the utterly predictable, Michelle sustained her 900th sunburn. We recommend sunscreen, next time, girl. Just a suggestion.

Paul-Frank

Frank gives condescending advice to Paul

In other news, Frank pissed off yet another houseguest after the Veto ceremony when he chatted with Paul about the potential aftermath for the house. Because Frank’s currently embracing the omniscient mindset, he decided to advise Paul that his frequent references to “friendship” could get him evicted. Of course, this pissed off Paul, who’s been getting the opposite vibe from everyone in the house. He seeks post-Frank solace in a conversation with Bronte where he gives her lots of solid advice that we hope she at least considers. The way they interact feels a lot like a showmance but it’s a challenge to know what’s really going on between them. The only thing we know for certain is that Paul definitely touched her side boob. Yes, that’s the news thus far this summer on BB boob patrol.

ZakiyahFun was had by several (Have-Nots had none) later when the houseguests celebrated Zakiyah’s birthday. Michelle and Nicole made a delightful cake for her. Even though they crankily ignored Frank’s all-knowing advice about cake-baking, it somehow still turned out great anyway. Miracles happen every day in the Big Brother house! A funny moment of tension arose when Nicole nearly ingested some frosting with an absent minded finger-lick but all was not lost for her Have-Not status when she spit it out. Stay strong, sister!  Meanwhile Natalie and James stayed super flirty and close, even giving Bronte advice (eerily similar to Paul’s, actually) like parents talking to an incessantly exercising baby who’s wearing full-blown workout regalia. We’re excited to see what happens on July 12th in the Big Brother house because it feels like a breeze of game change is due to hit these houseguests. Do we smell a whiff of keeping Tiff on the incoming winds? She certainly wants to get rid of Frank just like the rest of them… Only tomorrow will tell.

Stay tuned to Fetchland.com for daily BB ruination updates as well as our Twitter @RuiningBB18. If you watch the feeds and need a quick way to get wasted just do a shot every time someone in the house mentions how much they want to oust Frank.

There are two different experiences, both called “Big Brother”.

One is the television show Big Brother, as the CBS producers present it to broadcast tv audiences, three times per week. But the other is what is actually going on in the Big Brother house; the experience of the house guests, unfiltered — or at least less filtered — by television editors.

Fetchland presents Ruining Big Brother. It’s less “spoiling” Big Brother and more pulling back the curtain, to ruin our collective illusions about reality television. Enjoy! Or better yet, recoil in horror

Corey

How can you listen? … Too dreamy

On the TV episode showmances blossomed and the Roadkill comp was clarified for us. Butt first… we saw Bridgette make her nominations after claiming to have “never expected this” even after obviously trying and then winning HOH.

The show gave some time to the Mama Day and Frank situation as far as his insensitivity and her reaction. Luckily the show handled it well and gave her a chance to talk a bit. Their portrayal was pretty fair in giving his perspective that they were just “fooling around” and then realizing that he was the only one having fun. He apologized.

Day-Frank

Frank apologizes to Mama Day

There’s a reason why we have a need in our culture for “sensitivity training” and it would be a positive result overall if Frank’s behavior and the consequences (they want him OUT of the house) help highlight that need in every day life a bit more for people in general.

Frank-Roadkill

Frank wins Roadkill… again

We see Bridgette nominate Paul and Tiffany as well as the subsequent eyerolls from each of them. The show also devotes time to the Corey/Nicole and Natalie/James showmance situations. Then it’s time for the Roadkill competition. It’s a horn blowin’ challenge called “Horn Star” with a sequence of horns to remember and copy the pattern within a time limit – much like the game Simon. As we already know, Frank wins the competition and nominates Bronte. When he tells the 8Pack their main conclusion after he leaves the room is that Frank’s dangerous and they should get him out. It isn’t likely Frank has a clue that their minds are shifting in this way.

Paul

Telling Paul about the “Frank Out Plan”

Feeds-wise the houseguests didn’t even awaken until nearly three thirty in the afternoon on July 10th and even then, reluctantly. Their maximum comfort level has thus been achieved at this point. They feel at home. By four in the afternoon Paulie and Corey were confiding in Paul that they want Frank out soon because he’s wheeling and dealing all over the house. James walks in during the convo to join in the head-nodding. So, the news continues to spread. Meanwhile, in other news, Frank tells Bridgette about how he won the first Roadkill and put her up. So, now the 8Pack don’t have that blackmail bit of info in their back pocket anymore. It’s a bummer for them. In fact, not only does Bridgette already know, for some insane reason she even THANKED him for doing it. We may never figure that Bridgette out…

Sundowner

[For Preacher “Sundowner” or any other recaps on Fetchland, assume the presence of possible spoilers.]

AMC Summary:
Sundowner. Jesse finally comes face to face with Deblanc and Fiore and learns about the mysterious entity that has taken over his body.


Hi Fetchland faithful! This is MichaelJ; with OsypL partying like he’s 21 in Portugal, I’m taking over 2-3 Preacher recaps for the time being, including this one. Apologies on its tardiness by the way. Here goes!

“Sundowner” refers to the Sundowner Motel, a no kitchen / no room service hole in the wall… That ends up with many holes in its walls. Angels Deblanc and Fiore (the mysterious cowboy-clad-but-British-sounding “clones” from the past several episodes) are staying there, and are tracked down by a Seraphim [much higher order of angel] who looks like a cross between White Canary from Legends of Tomorrow and every sensibly-shoed soccer mom from every weekend minivan ever. The Sundowner is the site of an epic battle near the beginning of, ahem, “Sundowner” where the aforementioned Seraphim, Fiore, and Deblanc keep killing each other, magically producing more and more bodies, while Jesse and eventually Cass just try to keep their heads above water buckets and buckets of blood. OsypL has referenced intense fight scenes in many of his Preacher recaps; I found this to be one of the most inventive and interestingly shot of the show so far. The angels “re-spawn” video game-style every time they are killed, so Cass’s “clones” pile up as three of our five combatants (including solo soldier on the other side) keep getting killed. It’s a cool experience and unique in the sense that it only works because of the local magical system (that is, angels re-spawning new bodies), kind of like what makes every Brandon Sanderson book so good.

Anyway, I decided to borrow a quill from BDM and write this OsypL recap through the lens of “My Top 8 Favorite Quotes from ‘Sundowner'”:

I.
“If by ‘baby,’ you mean the most powerful entity ever known, the singular force that would shift the balance of power, threaten all of creation, then yeah, it’s a baby.”
-Deblanc

This quote from the more talkative of our two angels came in response to Jesse’s pretty understandable query: “So, you’re saying this Genesis is some sort of… angel/demon baby?”

TV viewers finally learn in “Sundowner” the nature of Jesse’s magical voice, and the entity that seemingly possessed him in the Preacher “Pilot”. “Genesis” is not just the name of a Phil Collins band but a cosmic entity combining an angelic soldier and a demonic one, drawn together carnally despite an endless war between Heaven and Hell that made them enemies. Fiore calls them traitors; Deblanc just wants to cram this Genesis back into a coffee can, and Jesse still thinks he’s been chosen by God for some greater destiny.

II.
“Genesis isn’t a power. It’s a scandal.”
-Deblanc

Deblanc and Fiore are the Genesis entity’s caretakers… Or maybe jailers? It left the confines of its coffee can, presumably under their collectively incompetent watch, and now they are down on Earth against angelic rules, trying to get it back.

There is a wanted poster with their faces on it, which is why the Seraphim is hunting them (setting up the brutal confrontation at the Sundowner). Fiore and Deblanc are extremely dismissive of Genesis as anything but an embarrassment and implore Jesse to never use its powers. Never ever.

III.
“It’s our first time. We didn’t know what we’d need.”
-Deblanc

"First Time"

“It’s our first time. We didn’t know what we’d need.”
-Deblanc”

Body armor? Chainsaw? Hitachi Magic Wand?

In a moment of levity amidst the stress and violence of this episode, it is revealed that Deblanc and Fiore are packing a veritable Bag of Holding’s worth of gear, including plug-in vibrator.

IV.
“Clones! Bloody clones!”
-Cassidy

"Clones! Bloody Clones!"

“Clones! Bloody Clones!” -Cassidy

After multiple occasions of killing Fiore and Deblanc, but then encountering them again, and now taking a bird’s eye gaze of the carnage at the Sundowner, it’s easy to see why Cass thought he was encountering a government cloning concern. I mean, why would his mind flock to Minecraft-style angelic spawning tech?

V.
“And you’re just a person! A sinful human being!”
-Fiore

Jesse sure is.

From his perspective, flawed as he may be, God chose him for this destiny; Genesis is in his mind his burden to bear… But also tool to use to save Annville (and maybe more). It is interesting that this preacher rejects angelic authority, acting under his how conscience.

VI.
“Pretty nice lady actually. Just a super shitty tipper.”
-Tulip

Tulip busts into Emily’s house, raging that she stay away from her boyfriend. We assume she means Jesse (whom Emily is around all the time, obviously), but it’s hard to imagine this is anything but a reaction to her own hookup in the back of the Chevelle with Cass last week.

After an initially raging confrontation where Tulip breaks Emily’s kid’s “art thing” the two make nice; Tulip talks about slashing a famous actress’s tires (presumably on account of her being a shitty tipper), and actually ends up mending the “art thing” as well as her fences with Emily, even doing chores and errands for her.

Cute as this make-up might be, the Cassidy-Jesse-Tulip love triangle is looking to be a barn (and relationship) burner. Tulip is obviously still in love with Jesse. Cassidy is in love with Tulip. And Jesse? He’s got bigger problems than love or friendship.

VII.
“Didn’t even need to bet your daddy’s land or bribe ’em with a tv neither.”
-Emily Woodrow

Jesse’ master plan is about to fall into place. The church is going to be packed. Jesse will be able to use his magical voice to “save” the whole town (like he did Quincannon?) … But should he?

It was probably his Christian-making move with Quincannon that reinvigorated the town’s admiration for the Preacher; Emily is referencing the bet he used to get Quincannon to Sunday services to begin with (his daddy’s land) and the flat screen tv that he got as a raffle giveaway to drum up attendance.

VIII.
“Go to hell Eugene!”
-Jesse

Uh oh.

If Jesse did in fact banish Arseface to Hell with these four words, that would be a radical departure from the plot of the original graphic novel.

We got a whooshing sound effect in this scene; and a piece of paper Eugene was carrying floated to the floor in his absence. Did Jesse just teleport an innocent kid to Hell? This would seem a supreme abuse of absolute power leading to absolute corruption in my mind; I really, really, hope our headlining hero stays on, ahem, the side of the angels!

“Sundowner” answered some questions — like who Deblanc and Fiore are, and what the nature of Genesis is — but also posed some interesting questions. Here are two:

Is Genesis more powerful than God in the Preacher universe? Heaven and Hell seem to be locked in an eternal struggle, so theoretically at parity; with Genesis potentially the tiebreaker. Note Deblanc’s words… Most. Powerful. Entity. Ever. Known. So… Not God then?

What are the limits of physics and reality? When Jesse commanded Cass to “fly” he just jumped into a wall (as he can’t fly). Cassidy could answer questions he knew the answers to, but not ones he didn’t. By the same token, can Jesse’s command actually teleport Eugene to Hell? Does Eugene have the intrinsic ability to teleport? (we’d guess not) Similarly interesting physics conundrum… Conservation of mass anyone? I’d get it if the previous angel-bodies disappeared when the new ones appeared; but they don’t. There are just potentially infinite angels based on killing (not wounding, maiming, restraining, or — ew — dismembering apparently).

Paulie

Post Veto Paulie

The Veto was a glittery spectacular extravaganza in which Bridgette won but also, unfortunately, smashed her ankle and ended up on crutches. Although Mama Day played a significant role in the Veto competition, as the hostess with the mostest, we didn’t get to see much of her afterward.

Nicole

Nicole checks her pee pants

Still, it was a fun night overall in the Big Brother house. Because of some behind-the-scene sightings in a mirror (or something) some of the sillier houseguests started talking “ghosts” and getting themselves tense and jittery with half-pretend fear of being haunted. This, of course, inspired the pranksters and Nicole peed her pants while playing silly tricks on scaredycats with Paul and James. In the aftermath Paulie “puts his mom on blast” saying she does this peeing in pants thing “on the reg” and they all have fun chatting in the bathroom while Nicole showers the pee of herself.

Natalie-James

Natalie and James flirtfest

After making a “date” using the HOH and London room phones, Natalie and James have a cute, whispery convo side by side. They talk about Frank’s machinations and how the whole house has “coupled up” naming all the pairs and not even realizing how ironic they’re being.

Have-Nots received popcorn and peanuts as their special supplemental foods this week. It could appear to some that this is the year of coddling the houseguests when it comes to calories. However, the bedding situation as HGs isn’t as comfy-time friendlypants since they’re sleeping in bumper cars. So, no complaints from Fetchland on this season’s production.

Meanwhile Paul’s playing a masterful game for a newbie. When confronted head-on by Paulie and Frank about being that one vote for Bronte in the Victor eviction, he denies it yet again. He’s planted a juicy seed of suspicion that gets Paulie and Frank assuming it was Michelle and thus puts her game in jeopardy. They talk about getting her out immediately after Paul leaves the room. Later Paul says he needs to check on his muffins and then comments that he’d never have thought he’d hear himself say such a thing. Things like this are what make him such a fun character in the house. Sometimes people come in planning on letting one aspect of their personality shine but the BB house brings out surprising (and sometimes even formerly dormant) aspects of houseguests.

Bridgette-Frank

Frank goes on and on

Frank continued to strategize and annoy, even getting on his #1 fan, Bridgette’s nerves with all the endless game talk. Blah blah freakin’ blah. Enough already. The guy genuinely believes he’s running the show and, especially this early on, that pretty much spells disaster. We’re barely a third of the way into the summer, bro! Unclench a bit. Take a page out of Paul’s book and bake a little. That guy’s game on fleek.

Quote of the day

Talking to Frank and Paulie to determine if he’s OK this week being on the block, Paul says “So, I should just hang out, bake muffins, and shit?”

July 8th brought the Roadkill competition as well as the divulgence of many secrets among Power Puff girly spies. Frank wins the Roadkill and nominates Bronte. After this “secret” nomination, Bronte continues her lecture series on Girl Power about how they have the numbers and that’s all she really cares about in this house and girls! girls! girls! etc. Luckily for her, it looks like Tiffany might go this week and not her. But the Spy Girl plan to get Paul out isn’t looking likely at this juncture. That guy’s spreading “friendship” like a California wildfire.

At the same time, Paul continues to deny that he voted Bronte out, so he’s the ONLY one truly keeping secrets totally to himself. Frank does keep his Roadkill win a secret from everyone but the 8Pack and (we know for sure) there are growing cracks in that Pack. After Frank put Bronte up on the block he plays a weird mind-game with Bridgette pretending not to know who won the Roadkill. She starts to doubt him as a result, evident in her later convo with Natalie where they discuss getting him out soon. It’s a deep Power Puff girl brand conversation in which they divulge secrets to each other (Bronte opened the secret floodgates earlier telling them she’s a mathematician) namely Natalie’s NFL cheerleader background and Bridgette’s doctor boyfriend. But the best part was when Natalie mentioned that she “loves James,” which we loved hearing.

Bridgette-Natalie

Power Puff Secrets Divulged

Speaking of Natalie and James, they had a cute-ass phone call using the HOH and the London room telephones. During it they played that game where one of them (James) tells a secret but without actually technically saying anything. Thus, Natalie knows that Frank won Roadkill and was responsible for nominating Bronte. Natalie tries to warn Bridgette to watch out for Frank as a result. A refreshing part of this whole divulgence is when Bridgette admits that she can’t read people and needs Natalie’s help. It’s admirable that she’s so willing to accept her limitations and ask for help from a friend – refreshing in a house that’s usually teeming with macho bravado. Power Puff Girls high five!

Speaking of which, in the bathroom at around the same time, Paulie, Nicole, and Michelle discuss telling Bridgette how Frank was the Roadkill winner who put her up on the block. They’re including it in their future strategy in case Natalie or Bronte win the next HOH. So, they can still try to get Frank out no matter who wins it.

Meanwhile in our alleged “real world” outside the Big Brother house, Julie Chen did an interview for Entertainment Weekly in which she gave some familiar opinions about what’s been going on in the BB house this season. Click here to read: Julie Chen’s interview. The most significant comment she makes is that “these newbies aren’t sharp,” and we gotta agree with her. On the bright side, we love them anyway. There’s something lovely about each of these houseguests.

Here’s our latest pro-opinions of the current houseguests:

Bridgette: She says the funniest random stuff and (as we pointed out in this post) seems ultra-aware of her weaknesses.

Frank: Funny and friendly he’s here to stir the pot and play the game HARD. This keeps Big Brother interesting to watch.

Paul: Chill and kinda resigned now, he’s shifted from rock n’roll Rambo to a teddy bear with friendly banter getting baking lessons on the regular.

Tiffany

Tiffany’s awkward effect on a room

Tiffany: Her weirdness keeps peeps on their toes. An entire room of spines straighten upon her entry and they all creep toe-by-toe slowly away from her. Meanwhile Tiff’s just like tra la la la la.

Zakiyah: She’s beautiful and great at keeping her allies close and her mouth closed when it’s smart. Zak’s playing the game under the radar and it’s workin’ for her.

Nicole: The kindest BB player of all time, probably, and down-to-earth too. We love her gorgeous hair, of course, but when this one gets LIVID and says, “Bullcrap!” we just wanna hug it out with her.

Michelle: She loves Big Brother and that’s actually enough for us to love her on its own but Michelle’s also funny and random.

Corey: Of course, his looks certainly help him gain favor along with that sincere effort he made to fit his six foot five bod into a bumper car bed.

Paulie: This hard body babe is smart and sensitive too. One minute Paulie’s teaching Tiff about Neuro Linguistic Programming and the next he’s running after Da’vonne with a comforting hug.

Bronte: The Girl Power lecture series on repeat can get a old at times but it’s also refreshing to imagine a possible positive outcome after many many years of bro BB winners.

Natalie: It makes us happy to see her happy and flirting with James. She’s a hard workin’ self-starter out there IRL, raised by a single mom and a true blue sweetheart with integrity. We appreciate her positive energy too.

Natalie-James

Natalie and James

James: Pranks aside, he’s endearing and kind even while genuinely out to win this game. We love his long talks with Natalie and his defense of Mama Day. Stay gold, Pony Boy.

Da’vonne: Yes, we saved our fav for last. She’s got the best facial expressions and the funniest quips in there. We hope she makes it all the way to the end.

Quotes:

During a random conversation about food Paul says, “The sardine business… I mean is it “booming”? I feel like it’s not”.
