Big Brother 9 Rant #2: Oh Allison!

What a roller coaster week it has been in the Big Brother house! We didn't just have one eviction Wednesday night, but two---both involving the same person. It was definitely an entertaining episode and huge props to the producers for making it go down the way it did.

Before the live eviction on Wednesday the houseguests got a mysterious note from Big Brother telling them that a siren would go off in the coming weeks and change the game dramatically. Allison and Ryan were really excited that this new twist in the game could somehow save them from the chopping block. Josh, on the other hand, became really paranoid and worried that his plan to get rid of "the bitch" would backfire due to the siren.

Well Wednesday rolled around and Julie Chen revealed one of the "twists" this season. Basically what was going to happen was that Julie Chen would announce to the houseguests which couple was evicted and then as they tried to leave the house the siren would sound and the house guests would all be asked to come back to their seats. Julie Chen would then announce to the house guests that only one person from the evicted couple would actually be leaving and that they would all be playing the game as individuals from now on.

As expected, Ryan and Allison were evicted (2-0). As they tried to leave, they were surprised that the door was locked from the outside. All of a sudden the siren went off and Allison had a rush of excitement and hope. She actually thought she would be staying in the house and was jumping up and down, clapping her hands and hugging Ryan. When Julie told the house guests that only one person would be evicted, either Allison or Ryan, Allison's facial expressions changed in a matter of seconds; talk about a mood swing. The poor girl knew she was going home and started crying when she was giving her plea as to why she should stay. Allison was voted out 6-0 and hardly got any hugs or goodbyes from any of the remaining houseguests.

Julie then revealed another twist shortly after the HOH competition. An evicted houseguest would be returning to the house and America would get to choose who in an online poll at cbs.com.

So yea, CBS is really pulling out all the stops to keep viewers interested and increase the show's terrible ratings this season. I like that the houseguests can now play on their own. It will be interesting to see what new alliances will form now that players don't have to rely on their partners anymore.

I'll admit I'm a huge Allison fan and I'm hoping she comes back into the house next week to stir up the pot once again. I think the producers made a big mistake with the twist because it made Allison's eviction inevitable and honestly she is much more entertaining to watch than Ryan. I also think it's a mistake to let America decide who gets to come back into the house. Seriously, all the soccer moms who watch the show are going to vote for Alex to come back because they have the hots for him. "Alex is cute this. Alex is sexy that. Alex turns me on." Blah blah blah blah. I've heard enough of it. Sorry ladies, but he brings nothing to the game and GOD is he boring to watch. Allison Grodner, work your magic and bring Allison back. I beg of you!

Anyway, so much stuff is happening in the house right now and I can't fit it all in one rant. I'll be back with another entry in the next few days about this week's nominations and more. Oh and I'll try to stop myself from recapping too much in the future.
