(S11E05) Every year, the hamsters in the Big Brother house seem to get off to a slow start. Well, it's time the backstabbing and alliances get in full gear. After all, they've been in the house for nearly two weeks now. That's long enough for the evil side of just about everyone to come out. So, does sweet and innocent Southern belle Jordan have a dark side? Read on!

Nah, she's one of the lesser evil types in the house. Perhaps she's even devoid of an evil streak. What I've noticed is that she wants to like and trust folks, but has found out that just can't happen in the House of Hamsters. At this point, I'd like to see her do well in the game. While she's a bit naive, her eyes are indeed open.

We left off with Ronnie double-crossing one group of allies (he plays both sides) and casting a vote to evict Braden. Now, this was after his deal to vote out Chima. And tonight's show had him denying the vote to that very same group of friends (Jeff, Casey, Michele, Jordan). They may be many things, but they're not stupid. He tried to throw both Casey and Michele under the reality show bus to take the heat off himself.

It didn't work. They all saw through him; Laura, in particular. I'm on the fence about whether I like her or not, but she definitely knows the game and she has Ronnie's number. She thinks no one is listening to her, but I think they all know Ronnie is a little sneaky geeky snake in the grass.

Tonight's luxury comp showed me why the live feeds were blocked for about five hours even though the show condensed it down to maybe ten minutes. Oh my. Costume changes for the hamsters! That and Dan (BB10 winner). For me, the best thing about having him host the comp was the look on Jessie's face!

It seemed almost all fun and games until Chima felt she had to snipe at Jeff. Listen, Ms. Chima, you might think you're a big shot blogger/journalist and all that, but that was not the time or place for such a snarky mean comment about Jeff being stupid. Normal people just don't do that. It's one thing to take pot shots in a blog, another to try to publicly humiliate someone just for the purpose of being a mean biatch on a show!

I'm not sure exactly how to take Ronnie. He's playing everyone, but it's hard to say which side he'll stick with down the line. If he aligns with the bullies athletes, it does provide him a safety cushion for a bit, as they're um ... bullies who can win comps. There are more of them, too. He'd be in with Jessie, Russell, Natalie, Lydia, and her puppy dog Kevin. But they'd cast him to the curb in a moment -- Russell already doesn't trust him.

In the nominations ceremony, the key order was: Jordan, Casey, Lydia, Natalie, Jessie, Kevin, and Russell. As part of his nerd brainy clique, Chima and Michele were already safe. His speech was forgetable. He wants them to prove they want to remain in the game by winning the power of veto. But, what was most interesting was that at the end of the show, they showed us a diary room session with Ronnie. He told us he wants to see Russell walk out the door on Thursday. Is he playing us, too?

America's vote this week is a choice of food items for the Have Not clique -- sauerkraut and seaweed, cabbage and cocktail weenies, or pickled eggs and pickled herring. I don't know. Wouldn't it be cannibalism for them to eat weenies?
