Yes.

Because we like Daniele a lot more than her father does, we are here now thrilled that Kalia is the new HoH.  Sure, there are internet rumors that all Kalia does is complain and eat and emit gasses and guzzle milk of magnesia and warm the house's only toilet seat but now she can add nominate for eviction to that list of chores and she has Daniele's back, and may even do whatever Dani says she should. Yes.

In jackass news: Dick's got a lot of nerve, it's probably a little easier to evaluate Season 13's gameplay from an empty livingroom, if only he held the same faith in Daniele that she demonstrates for herself in her HoH Blog. Jackass.

Other jackasses tonight include: 
Jeff and Jordan.  Done with hearing how you "just wanted to spend the summer together." You could have done that in, literally, a zillion other places than on my tv, so stop.

Lawon.  For that look of disbelief he gave when he was swiftly disqualified from a competition.

"Nobody in this game cares for anyone but themselves!" --Rachel Reilly

CBS.  For completely glossing over Brendon's inherent gros-il-grotesque assholitry.  A library of live feeds has proof that this guy is a complete dink, that when push comes to shove he point his cro-magnus toward the Achilles heel with wide-ranging, Lowest Common Denominator ammunition.  He just makes himself look like a complete dink in a hammock or in a DR or in front of a laptop, but CBS just keeps marketing him as this chivalrous sword-taking stud for Rachel, as some honorable dumpster monogamist, but thankfully Rachel puts CBS in its place by pointing out that this week's HoH comp was clearly rigged, because obviously it's aeronautically impossible for her to lose an HoH, what's she gonna dust off her shoulders now. And to a newbie??  Muuuaahahhhaaahhhaaa.

First Impression Rose

Tonight was Season 13's premiere, and leisurely here are some first thoughts from Libbytown:

I wanted to find Kalia's relationship blog and was bummed when I couldn't but it seems that I'm not alone, that it's just a matter of a few good Boolean searches, and time, before we all have access to the trainwreck, stay tuned!

I realize it looks a little klanzy, but I'm not feeling Kreepy Klergyman Keith. When you conceal your faith-based profession because you feel others will assume that it makes you look totally judgmental...that's a little klucked up. Who's worse, that "Adam" character, I don't buy his packaged "huggable badass" routine, with the little too many canned sayings... He's probably there to further illuminate the dick in Evel Dick, who is a total dick, and whether he and Danielle's Tale of Disdain is genuine is hard tell, but Danielle's hair and DR's are just not working, not today at least.

I detect that the producers are promoting Brenchel, for ratings, maybe as the new-and-backwards Jeff and Jordan. CBS/Julie Chen has been gleefully reporting about their graphic (manufactured?) relationship problems, the very first HOH comp was a test of each HG's ability and willingness to cling to enormous bananas, the mere "I spend most of my time on bananas," and that the competition was biased toward those who are a-ok with straddling their partner's banana-gripping head, might it seem a little too convenient..? Wowlook, lightning-rodded Rachel won the first HOH, who knew!

I suspect Jeff and Jordan are locked in a showmance struggle of money, greed, abuse, power, ego, fame, with any luck actual drama will ensue! 
 
Cassi thinks highly of herself, Dominic may or may not have ever watched Big Brother, Lawon has moments of ~*sensational*~, Zookeeper will be this year's Luxury Comp's horrible movie, Shelly's not utterly heterosexual, and Porsche lies.

And the producers are giving that Golden Key quite the polish, for a good player it should be sorta natural to get to the final 10 out of 14, nothing soopernatural, right...?  Either way, the season has spark so far, so yay!
