Big Brother 11 Recap: Jeff Evicted and Sent to Jury House, New HOH Awarded
By Tim Wilkins
Julie Chen opened this live episode with the quote: “Big Brother brought Jeff and Jordan together, but now, the game will tear them apart.” Sounds like a Tina Turner song. “What’s love got to do with it?”
Kevin and Natalie want Jeff gone. Michelle wants Natalie to help her keep Jeff. Jeff wants Jordan to keep fighting and win this game. Jeff tells Jordan to stick with Michelle and Natalie until the end. Jordan wants a good bye kiss from Jeff. Hey, we all got needs. Not to quote Julie Chen, but “when is a kiss not a kiss?”
Natalie’s upfront with Jeff and tells him in the kitchen she’s not going to vote for him to stay. Jeff tries to work a deal with her. Kevin watches all of this in his HOH room and questions how trustworthy Natalie is. Kevin remembers how Natalie acted during the “Pandora’s Box.” Natalie comes to the conclusion she needs a better deal with Jeff if he wants her to save him from eviction.
Jordan and Jeff are sleeping in the same bed. Jordan wants a ‘movie kiss good bye.” Jeff and Jordan end up hiding under the covers and I assume making out like Jessie and Lydia once did in the HOH room.
Jeff and Michelle try to think of a way to sway Natalie to their side. They come up with the idea to throw the HOH competition and just give Natalie a pass next week. Somehow even I don’t think Natalie’s that stupid.
We get to meet Michelle’s husband Tim. He tells us that Michelle’s a nerd, clumsy, and has memory problems. I hope she doesn’t forget where she lives.
Julie Chen talks to the house guests and it’s like scrapping a jar of peanut butter to make a sandwich. The only thing we get worth me repeating is Kevin’s answer to the “Pandora’s Box’ epidemic. Kevin tells Julie, “Usually I wouldn’t mind being handcuffed and bent over a box.” Somewhere Kevin’s husband is going out to buy Kevin handcuffs and a box for when he comes home. Money not included.
Next we get to see inside the jury house. Lydia has changed her hair color. Jessie hasn’t changed at all. In fact, when Russell appears, Jessie once again rips his shirt off as if a wrestling match is to begin. Jessie never misses an opportunity to show off that steroid body of his. Enough is enough! I half expect Jessie to just wear a bow tie and Speedo to the live finale in two weeks. I wouldn’t put it past him.
Russell finds out that Natalie is not 19, but in fact 24. Lydia and Russell are not happy with the fact Natalie lied about her age. Wow, that’s your biggest gripe with Natalie? Jessie and Russell admit to Lydia that they both would vote for Jeff in the final two if Jeff makes it.
Julie Chen talks to Kevin in the HOH room. Kevin comes up with the funny line that he knows the word “lie” is in Natalie’s name, but at this time in the game, she’s his only ally left. I say, ‘with friends like her, you don’t need enemies.”
The live eviction is next. Jeff uses this chance to once again make a deal with Natalie and promising her HOH. In the end, Natalie sticks to her plan and votes Jeff out. Michelle votes to evict Jordan. Kevin is the deciding vote and he tells Jeff, “Nice desperate try, but you’re gone.”
The romance is over. Jeff gives Jordan a peck on the cheek and leaves. What? No big movie kiss? I don’t know who’s more disappointed, me or Jordan.
Jeff gets a standing ovation from the Big Brother live crowd. I stay seated on the couch. No kiss no standing ovation dude! Jeff gives us one last mantra, ‘no regrets.” I beg to differ. I’m still regretting no big kiss.
The live HOH competition is next. Jordan takes an early leave and I’m excited for her. Then, hell freezes over and there’s a three way tie between Jordan, Michelle, and Natalie. They have to guess the number of cans collected by the house guests in the “Can Do” HOH competition. Jordan proves once again the light’s on but no one’s home because I swear that girl wrote down 224. What the frak?
Who gets the number right? I would ‘lie’ and tell you someone else, but it’s Natalie. This is where I jump off the couch and throw a pillow at Natalie’s head on my television. I’m more disappointed Natalie won HOH than I was that Jeff didn’t give Jordan a proper kiss good bye. Oh well. Natalie hasn’t won squat and surprised America with this win. That loud scream you heard was America yelling, “NO!” Okay, maybe that was just me.
Natalie screams “This is for you Chima!” and tells Kevin how she kept her word and still won the HOH. Not to quote Julie Chen, but ‘miracles never cease to exist.” By the way, who else thought Natalie’s top was left over from CBS’s classic show, “The Beverly Hillbillies?” That was one ugly top. I doubt even “Ellie Mae,” or in this case, Jordan would wear that.
As the show ends, we’re told that Pandora’s Box will make a comeback next week. There will be a live POV, live eviction, and the beginning of the HOH competition on Tuesday’s episode. Time is running out folks! The two hour season finale is September 15. Who do want for the final 3? Who do you want to win? Will Natalie burn that ugly ass top? Tune in next week for some of the answers.
