I didnt know you liked Libra too! You are my destiny. I was the only Libra supported back then. Everyone else hated her and thought Dan was so hot.
Dom and Cassi keep thinking they have the numbers on their side for HOH but 1) most of the newbies don't want to win HOH including their own alliance member Lowan which means 2) The Vets actually have more numbers playing for HOH as I demonstrated above and 3) Dom and Cassi keep talking as if that first week deal they all made to get the Vets out means anything one week later. Um hello?? You actually have to go to the newbies, corral them, point out the strategy in numbers, and convince them to stick with that plan! In fact, the newbies have never had a Newbie Meeting in...well, EVER. That doesn't bode well for Dom and Cassi's Grand Plan.
They're acting as if everyone is still voting out Porsche and that's not a guarantee anymore. They don't seem to realize that Shelly/Kalia/Adam have already made other plans.
As Daniele will probably say when she makes it to the finals: "Amateurs."
And now we're caught up. Re: Jeff Pottergate
I can say I'm honestly surprised, but not overly so by his apparent and undeniable ignorance Jeff has displayed. And I really hope not to devolve into a homophobic/not homophobic like/dislike argument because the reality of these things are neither black and white.
It's a sad reminder of the length our society really needs to come, and the generational and gender gaps that still exist when it comes to sexuality. I feel Jeff probably falls into the same category most males from his demographic do in that they are nice enough individuals who don't have an explicit problem with homosexuals but DO have a lower opinion of homosexuality as a concept and that is something that sadly will take a great length of time to change.
It doesn't make me hate him but it does put me off quite a bit. He was never my favorite not in his season even (I loved Michelle before she went crazy) but I wasn't as bothered by his return before this incident. Now I'm just ready for him to go. Every season there's an inevitable spat where someone uses a pejorative term and sect galvanizes against them. I never really hop on those bandwagons but I find something like this FAR more offensive. Because it's not just someone using a term without full appreciation of it's implications and societal charge. It's quite the opposite. It's Jeff actually showing a full knowledge of and endorsing those implications. It even goes a step further in that he implies that the belief that gays can't be trusted around kids is so logical and mainstream that if there were no camera one wouldn't even think to doubt it. And he showed that he was aware that he SHOULD be ashamed of these beliefs in his refusal to actually articulate them and his anger at Kalia when she basically demanded he articulate them.
This gave a lot of point to Kalia to me because she was pretty much in hostile territory. She was basically surrounded by veterans, in a house where they've not exactly been subtle about asserting their dominance. Not just that, but the onus was to put on her to call out a player who is strong, considerably well liked, and notably powerful in the game and she stepped up to the plate on pure instinct alone. Without a thought about the situation or who she was talking to she made it very clear that her basal reaction to hearing discriminatory comments about homosexuals was to call those comments out as baseless. Points to her.
The one annoying aspect was watching everyone else remain silent/amused. Jordan in particular was smirking her ass off, in a way that made me think her tiny mind grasped the greater mechanics of what was happening in a way that Jeff was unable to do at the moment because he was heated. In fact everyone in that room was clearly uncomfortable with that conversation but unwilling to weigh in because they knew doing so would in no way benefit them. It would be harmful either with their relationship with Jeff or with America depending on what side they took.
As per returnees in general: I'm on a girl power kick. Dani doesn't bother me at all. In fact I like her far more than I ever did. Jordan I'm very indifferent about. Rachel is actually the most amusing of the returnees. I mean honestly the girl is like a cartoon. She's loud grating and occasionally annoying but she's so vapid that I lack the ability to get offended by her.
No, I hated them both.
I do remember the circle jerk on Dan's ugly ass. Despite being a holy roller and a republican, his sure did have his gay fanboys on here.
I guess as long as Dan didn't quote the scriptures, gay guys here could overlook his belief system.
