The Voice

It has been to my own disappointment that I have not been able to keep up with this seasons The Voice.  I love watching the blind auditions, they are what make the show.  Not to mention the fact that I am also missing out on Adam and Blake's beautiful bromance.

All 4 judges have now acquired 14 members on their team.  They're going to have to be more selective now in order to get the best members on their teams.

Remember to vote in the poll below for which judge you think will win this season.

Congratulations!!!

Dreams really do come true :)

Oh Big Brother, you never cease to amaze me.  Dan sure knows how to play this came.  He got himself to the finale three with two finale two deals.  He got both Ian and Danielle to throw part one of the HOH competition.  If I were Ian or Danielle, there's no way I would've thrown that competition.  Once you get to the final three, you have to play for yourself to ensure that you get HOH and are the deciding vote for the finale two.

I loved Brittany's reaction to Danielle coming out as the finale juror.  I don't blame her for being happy, she wanted to see Ian or Dan win this game.  Danielle looks so upset to have been voted out.  You played Dan's game not your own.

Dan's reaction to Ian's responses are hilarious.  Dan's answer to Joe's question was the honest truth, and on a biased response, I hope it helps Dan win.  Ian may have played a different game then Dan, but Ian was just as controlled as Danielle was.  Danielle has the best shocked face ever.  Great question though, she just showed the jury how Dan has played the game with his many promises.  Dan, I'm worried for you.

Ian is furious after learning that Dan would've back stabbed him, poor Ian.  Dan's speech was better than Ian's.  He pointed out the strengths in each of the jury members, and how he had to play the game the way he did to get himself ahead.  And the crowd cheers for the real player.

Danielle-Dan, Shane-Ian, Jenn-Ian, Joe-Ian, Frank-Ian, Brittany-Ian, Ashely-Ian.

I can't believe Ian just one this whole thing.  If you had asked me from the beginning of the season if I saw Ian winning this competition, let alone in the finale two, I would've said no.  I'm happy for Ian, he deserved to win this game.  He was a fan, played the game with heart, and did what he could to avoid lying and scheming.  Congratulations.

Do You Trust Me?

We're down to the finale 3 and it's time for the house guests to figure out not only who they can trust, but who they can beat in the finally.

It's hard for me to say this but I worry that Dan may have ruined his chances at winning by voting out Shane.  The only way he can guarantee final 2 status is by winning HOH.  I think that Ian might take Dan if he wins HOH and keep to their renegade pack, but you can never be too sure in this game.  It's seems that Danielle is finally realizing that she can't trust Dan any more, and is thinking about blindsiding him. I can't blame Danielle for wanting to do this, after all, Dan has done the most manipulating to Danielle, playing on her emotions.

Tonight's show wasn't all that entertaining. I really could've done without all the reminiscing and gone straight into the competitions for HOH.  I do have to admit that watching Britney beat on Frank's teddy bear was pretty funny. I guess the Big Brother house really does make you crazy.

The only question left now is, who do you want to win Big Brother 14?

Shocker!!!

This show just keeps getting better and better.  Nothing like a back door shocker, especially when the HOH isn't even aware of the back door herself.

Danielle, are you really that surprised that Shane went home.  Dan has told you that he has wanted to send Shane home and he did just that.  Bye bye showmance.  I just don't know how Dan does it, he has managed to manipulate, scheme, and lie his way throughout this game.  I hope that Dan wins BB14, he's played the game they way it's meant to be played.

Even though I've never been one for showmances, I do feel bad for Danielle.  Shane, finally tells Danielle how he feels after they have their first 'date', and then he's sent packing.  Doesn't really seem all that fair does it?  I hope that they continue to see each other outside of the house.

The Jury House:
Could they be any more explosive? Frank needs to lose the chip off his shoulder.  To say that Big Brother isn't a game and should be taken seriously is insane. If Frank couldn't handle the drama of the game, maybe he should've given more thought before signing up to join the show. Here's a message to you Frank: Get Over It!!

The Blind Auditions

The Voice seasion three started Monday September 10th and has had three episodes of the blind auditions.  The teams currently stand at: Christina with 7, Blake with 5, Adam also with 5, and Cee Lo with 4.  Each team this seasion is allowed 16 members, allowing for more opportunities for the struggling artists to join a team.

I like this show because of what it stands for.  It goes to show that looks are not everything, that when it comes to the music industry, you should be chosen for your talent and not based on if you have the right look for what someone is trying to sell.  Think about it, when you hear a song on the radio, and you have never heard of the artist before, you are not judging them on what they look like, rather you are juding them based on their talent (given that they haven't been auto-tuned).  The Voice works exactly the same way.  The judges can't see the singer, they can only hear them and pick the singer for their team based on their voice and level of talent.

I'm looking forward to this season and the big twist.

Sing because you want to, don't let your voice go unheard.

Double Crossing Is My Game

Wow! A lot sure went on behind the scenes of Thursday's episode.  Options are limited for all the house guests.  Time of questioning loyalties is about to begin.  Alliances are out the door.  You really can't trust anyone in this game anymore.

I would never have guessed that Ian would be Dan's actual target in the double eviction.  This show is full of twists and schemes.  The way Dan was running around the house, covering his bases, keeping up with each and every lie. I was impressed.  I'm not used to seeing this side of him. I really hope that Dan has it in him to win this game.

Ian winning that veto saved him in more ways than he knows.  To think that Ian's replacement was going to be Shane blew my mind. I didn't see any of this coming.  The things that go on behind closed doors of Big Brother.  At least they show us this stuff to keep the viewers up to speed.  At least Dan doesn't have the intentions to vote out Danielle just yet.  Danielle may have saved her 'showmance'...but was it worth it?

Why do people think they can trust people in this game.  Have they never watched a season before?  This game is cut-throat, every player for themselves until the end.  It's pointless to get worked up about being on the block, or not evicting the player you wanted out that week.  The game is played minute to minute, plans change in an instance.  If you can't adapt to that, why be in the game in the first place?

HOH could've been anyone's game.  To have it come so close between Ian and Shane was nail-biting.  It really is coming down to the wire now.  After this weeks eviction, with Jenn hopefully being the one going home, I don't know who I want to go home anymore.  How does Dan do it?  He has managed to manipulate everyone in this game to keep himself in the house.

Pandora's Box: 
Ian, what were you thinking?  You had a good Pandora's Box the last time, did you really think you would get it two times in a row?  Listening to Rachel was so difficult (sorry Rachel fans) her laugh is so annoying.  I was happy for the rest of the house guests who were able to hear from their loved ones.  Being away from them for that long must be so tough.

No surprise that Jenn and Shane are on the block this week.  Dan seems to be running this game.  I hope Shane doesn't go home.

Go showmance!! (Insert sarcasm here)

Dirty Deals

Big Brother 14 Episode 25

It's not Big Brother without some double crossing.  I got to hand it to Dan. Last week he was hosting his own funeral and now, thanks to Ian as HOH, he's got Frank sitting on the block like a sitting duck (#QuackPack).  To think that Frank actually trusted Dan to work together.  Let's get real here Frank, the two of you have been trying to get each other out since the reset!!!  It was funny to see how Dan almost blew his master plan to #ShankFrank.  Nice cover.  I really couldn't believe that Frank was even willing to stay on the block and have Dan take Jenn off instead.  This is a game about big moves not moronic moves.  I think Frank got confused this week.  I guess Frank's not that strong of a player without Mike Boogie whispering in his ear.

Funniest Moment: "Am I talking to Barney Rubble? Cause all there is up there is a bunch of rocks."
When Dan goes into the bedroom to talk to Joe about next weeks HOH nominations...30 minutes later!!! Joe's ratting himself out thinking Dan is Shane.  Way to ruin your game Joe, not that you had much of one to begin with.

When that happened I was starting to think that Joe might be the one going home.  Sadly Frank's 9 lives ran out and he was sent packing over the guy who was "The single biggest threat in the kitchen." Yes Joe, that is true, and it's the only threat you'll ever be in the Big Brother House.

Big Twist: Double Eviction
Jenn was holding strong in the "Make Your Case" HOH competition.  I have to admit I was cheering for her. I wanted to see another big twist happen.  All and all, probably best that Dan won. I like how Joe went straight for the hot seat.  At least he wasn't playing dumb to being put up on the block.  For the second time in the night I thought Joe was gonna be safe.  He was in the lead in the Power Of Veto until Ian found the right path.  I was so happy.  I was surprised that Dan had put up Danielle as a replacement nominee for Ian.  Then I thought about it, if Jenn went up instead, chances where that Shane and Ian might have voted to keep Joe over Jenn.  At least now Joe is gone and the yelling can stop.

Until next week 'Presh!'
