Big Brother 24 — Let’s Never Do That Again

If you watched tonight’s episode, you got to see the pie-eating comp that led to Jasmine becoming the HoH.  At first, I assumed that they did the pie eating contest because of Jasmine’s injury but, after tonight’s episode, I think it was probably just a coincidence that Jasmine injured herself and then got a non-physical HoH comp.  Seriously, those were some big pies and watching everyone eat them …. well, let’s never do that again!

Also, after this week, no other houseguest should be dumb or cocky enough to volunteer to go on the block.  I think Pooch has finally figured out that he’s in trouble.  Not only didn’t he win the veto but Michael, who did win it, is probably not going to use it.  I think Pooch has figured out that there’s a good chance that he’s going to be voted out on Thursday.  Every time I see Pooch on the feeds, he’s talking about how how he’s prepared for whatever happens so Pooch has either figured out that he’s being targeted or he’s just putting on a good show to try to keep Taylor from campaigning to stay.

Why did Pooch volunteer to go on the block?  I think, with Pooch, it all comes down to the fact that he’s a coach.  As a coach, he’s used to coming up with various strategies but he’s also used to his players doing what he says.  As such, volunteering to be a pawn probably made sense to Pooch because, in his mind, everyone would stick to the plan.  He didn’t consider that the other players all have plans of their own.  As a coach, Pooch is also used to being in charge and I don’t think he realized how much his forthright manner rubbed people the wrong way.  To be honest, I imagine Pooch is probably a very good coach but he’s not necessarily a great Big Brother player.

Well, we’ll see what happens.  There’s still a lot of time left before Thursday.  The veto meeting is tomorrow!
