MONDO EXTRAS

1:12 AM: We jump to the HoH room, where Amber is fretting over how to trust the alliance. Dustin tells her that you just have to trust the people you make your pact with. Jameka says it's like "stocks and bonds," where you have the risky ones and then you have the other ones. I truly do not know what she means by this. Are people in the alliance the stocks, or the people who buy the stocks? I wonder if she knows.

1:15 AM: Daniele tells Eric that she felt really bad about betraying Kail and then laughing in her goodbye message. Believe it or not, this becomes another thing about how hard it is to be Daniele. The MS, on Daniele: "I'm not sure how she got the high ground. Also, I'm not sure where she got a hold of tanning spray when she's been sequestered in the house for forty days."

1:17 AM: The MS: "Wow, we literally got to stare at the wall just now."

1:17 AM: Amber is lying on her back, and Dustin is straddling her. Heeeey! Af-Ter Dark! Af-Ter Dark! Af-Ter Dark! Oh, fuck, this is going nowhere.

1:19 AM: Amber discusses a conversation she was involved in, and she uses the words "I'm like" and "she's like" so often that I can't even remember who the people involved are. Unless the people involved are named "Like" and "Like."

1:20 AM: Dustin: "You can't count your chickens before you're..." He clearly doesn't know where to go with this, so he just stops talking. I'm saying truly, I watched this guy have to bail out in the middle of "don't count your chickens before they're hatched."

1:22 AM: Jessica is still holding court.

Me: Jessica could use a comb.
MS: I could use a Vicodin and a handgun.

1:25 AM: Dustin is folding laundry again. God, how did I ever live without this? I can't believe I thought I understood what was going on in the house just from watching the edited broadcasts!

1:27 AM: OH MAH GOD ERIC IS STILL TALKING TO DANIELE.

1:30 AM: Hitting the halfway point makes me want to send flowers to myself.

1:33 AM: Eric tells Daniele that her dad is ruining his (Eric's) Big Brother experience, which was essentially his greatest dream in life. Screw "without pity." I have extra pity, and I'm not even sure whom to give it to out of Dick for being himself, Daniele for being his kid, or Eric for...this. Finally, Eric announces to Daniele that he is "leaning toward" teaming up with them to get rid of Dustin instead of Dick. Gawd. He does, however, advocate for including Jessica in the group.
