Yep, it&#8217;s one of the few things I actually enjoy about summer: Big Brother is back on CBS! This year is starting off to be pretty interesting. The &#8220;catch&#8221; this year is that three houseguests have their worst enemy (or, somebody from their past that they don&#8217;t want to see) living in the house with them. There&#8217;s the estranged father and daughter, the middle school friends who apparently had a falling out over $5.00, and the two gay boys who broke up after one blamed the other for giving him Gonorrhea. I&#8217;m not making this up!<\/p>\n<p>Of course, leave it to the gays to brings STD&#8217;s onto prime time TV&#8217;s family hour.<\/p>\n<p>I have only seen three episodes so far and I&#8217;m already addicted. I already determined the houseguest I hate the most: Jen. Surprisingly, she&#8217;s not blonde, but she might just be one of the dumbest people on network TV. Ever! Anna Nicole Smith is part of Mensa compared to Jen.<\/p>\n<p>In the first episode all of the houseguests viewed their professionally taken photographs along the wall (when a house guest is voted out, the picture changes from color to black-and-white). She saw her photo (which actually came out well),blocked it with her hand, and starting crying. She said it was the worst photo she&#8217;d ever seen of herself and was angry at Big Brother for humiliating her in public. She just stood there drawing attention to herself crying like a 3 year old whose balloon was popped by her older brother.<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s also fond of wearing shirts with her name on them. Not just &#8220;Jen&#8221;, but tacky phrases like &#8220;Jen-uine&#8221; or &#8220;I&#8217;m a JEN-ius&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>Um, honey? You&#8217;re not.<\/p>\n<p>Then she accused one guy of kissing her&#8230;which he didn&#8217;t. She was just jealous that he was paying more attention to somebody else.<\/p>\n<p>Oh yeah, this is getting good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wait, or is it the other way around?
