Very trivial I know but since the show seemed to be going at 100mph I couldn,t quite keep up

Did someone actually call Parker a snake or was Ryan making it up to stir things?

Jacob was saying he was a snake to Ryan (Jen's boyfriend) and James. then Jen (Parker's game partner) told Parker.

When Parker confronted everyone Jacob turned it around and said that he had HEARD someone say he was a snake. Wouldn't say who. Trying to get out of it!

Jacob thought he was some kind of grand master puppet player... either that or he is a red-neck... and thought he could stir up discontent in the House... it kind of back fired spectacularly!

It was Jacob on purpose, trying to 'stir the pot'. He was outside playing pool with Ryan and Adam, and Jen walked past. So naturally she told Parker.

But if you watch the live feed

Parker was a big baby about being called a snake. What a fuss he held, even going as far as waking everyone up when they were sleeping. If you don't want people to talk about you behind your back then don't go in Big Brother. Bitching and backstabbing is all to be expected. I wonder if he has even watched the show before.

Which resulted in an interesting and entertaining couple being evicted way too early

I'd expect Parker to not be such a baby, seeing as he is part of the stalkarazzi.

I'd have been much more angry at Parker for getting me out of bed, than I would have been at Jacob for calling him a snake. But no-one seemed to care, just sat there and let Parker take the pedestal.

I know, the whole thing was bizarre and very un Big Brother USA like. I wonder if the others would have taken Jacobs side more, and called Parker the big baby that he was if he wasn't part of the Power Couple that week.

I can understand why he reacted the way he did.

Everyone who was there during that conversation knew what had been said. As they were all males, you can double that number to include their partners, who would inevitably have gotten told. That means that over half the house would have heard the talk that Parker was a snake.

Now they all knew that Jen (Parker's partner) had heard them say this, and would all assume that she would tell him. So if Parker didn't say anything, it would seem like he had no answer, that perhaps he was a snake. If he tried to talk to each of them individually, again, it would look like he was a snake and trying to wiggle out of it, and no matter what they said parker wouldn't know for sure if they still thought he was a snake.

By gathering them all up the way it did, whilst it was a high risk strategy, it did a couple things things. It more or less proved that Jacob was lying and therefor that Parker wasn't a snake, stopping the romour dead in it's tracks. It demonstrated that Parker wasn't someone to be messed with. And, by confronting the whole house in order to prove his innocence, the implication was there that he was a stand up guy who would defend his honour over playing the game, which in turn implies that he is trustworthy.

Do you really think that that's why he did it though? It seemed to me there was no thought process at all, he was just angry and acting like a little biatch because he'd been called a bad name.

what surprised me about the whole thing was how unsubtle everyone was.

jacob, parker, and jen all showed themselves to be very weak game-players.

Was hilarious how Sharon was trying to defuse the situation and get herself off the chopping block.

Ryan was the absolute worse choice she could possibly make out of any of them.


PS Does Sharon now know about Ryan & Jen, now that she was presumably out of the house for abit?

The early evictees normally go straight to the outside world but with so few pairings I think they get sequestered just in case.

On a normal BB when the players are playing on their own, the final 9 starts making up the jury so from then on they definitely get sequestered at a nice secluded hotel. We get to see the jury house when the newly evicted arrive.

So to answer your question I would say no.

It's hard to tell from the HL show. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt as they edit the shows so well, sometimes it's hard to know what's sponatanious, and what happens minutes/hours later. I was surprised at how easily he believed it was Ryan though, when Sharon fed him that BS information, so maybe I am being too kind afterall.
