The Big Brother Repulsion Index: Popping the CBS Piñatas
Last night's Big Brother shocked the Movieline repulsion index, thanks to a PoV challenge that involved smashing pinatas full of spoiled mayonnaise over each attention-starved housemate. Let's find out which contestants crawled back into the house smelling the most repellent.
Most Terrible Words Spoken on Camera: "If we put Annie up and she doesn't go home, that b*tch is going to start sh*t."
Repulsiveness Profile: If Tony Soprano wore fedoras and restricted his leadership skills to network reality shows, he would be Enzo. Even though this New Jersey boy is occasionally amusing when growling his challenge tactics ("You just gotta go street on that pinata. You gotta go street") his willingness to casually call his female houseguests b*tches in front of about 90 cameras lining the house is a bit off-putting. Also kind of terrible: the ease at which he suggested "taking care" of a female houseguest if she became too mouthy last week. Better luck stifling your misogyny tonight, Enzo.
Most Terrible Words Spoken on Camera: "I played college baseball!! That's what I do!! I smash things!!"
Repulsiveness Profile: You know how sometimes a person will forget that he's wearing headphones and -- unable to hear himself -- will shout everything at you? That's how Hayden speaks normally, and how he managed to out-repulse last week's #4, Monet. Also consider the fact that Hayden repeats the word "Brigade" (the name of his alliance) twice a minute and I don't think anyone will be surprised if Hayden rises in the repulsion ranks next week.
Most Terrible Words Spoken on Camera: "Brendon and I have amazing chemistry!"
Repulsiveness Profile: Surprisingly, I found myself wanting to like Rachel this week. The chemist/cocktail waitress had feelings for Brendon (below), with whom she happened to be sharing the chopping block this week, but the speed at which she offered to sacrifice her own game for her love interest -- along with that chainsaw laugh -- clinched her a spot on this week's index.
2. Brendon (One of "The Jocks")
Most Terrible Words Spoken on Camera: "I can't stand ignorant people," as he is surrounded by a dozen of the most ignorant reality show contestants in the country.
Repulsiveness Profile: In spite of being "dead serious" about the game, Brendon didn't even wait two full weeks before starting a relationship with a fellow houseguest, Rachel. Not only did their hammock make-out session "put a target on his back" (to employ the most-overly used phrase in the game), but it was a sleazy move to pull with his chopping block partner. He told people that he couldn't petition against Rachel, but had no trouble stomping out her flame during the challenge and giddily taking himself off the block.
1. Andrew ("The Orthodox Jewish Podiatrist/Captain Kosher")
Most Terrible Words Spoken on Camera: "There is no way any of you could ever be my friends because you don't know anything about Judaism."
Repulsiveness Profile: The doctor went into last night's PoV challenge (which was a Big Brother version of Scrabble) boasting to the camera, "I'm a doctor and no one knows that in the house. I can spell any word I want to." But when he fumbled the spelling of "pasteurized," Captain Kosher claimed that his error was all strategy. Sadly for Andrew, the Jewish podiatrist is also at the top of the houseguests' own repulsion index as he condescends to anyone who is not Jewish or not a practicing doctor (so, everyone).




Comments
I love that Enzo is continuing the Big Brother tradition of contestants whose opinions change every five minutes, but speak said opinions with the utmost authority. I think he's IDed four different people as the saboteur already while advocating to Hayden that week 1 is now or never to make a power move.
