‘Big Brother’ Week Six Recap: Showmance Is Scam

This week of Big Brother can’t be discussed without giving a proper shoutout to production and the editing department who someone managed to stretch two five minute competitions (HoH and veto) into episode anchoring segments. For Head of Household, all you had to do was roll a ball down the center of a winding ramp. Easier said than done but you basically just had to do it and collect your score like Chuck E Cheese ski-ball tickets. You got one try with the red ball but could practice as many times as you wanted with the yellow ball first. I think fourteen minutes of that ended up airing. Paul won despite being very bad at bowling. Perhaps this is the flipside of Paulie’s transformation into Paul. Paulie and Paul started off as two very different people with very similar names. But then Paulie cut his hair like Paul, shaved his beard like Paul, started wearing cutsleeve sweathshirts like Paul, and even talking like Paul: friendship, sketch, your boy and all. So if Paulie can become Paul, Paul is now able to win competitions like Paulie. Frankly, Paul wins out in this deal since Paulie was bred for this now maybe Paul is, too.
