Week 3 Friday Video Clips, Part 1

Mike and Robin Strategy

Everyone is hanging out in the living room.  Robin walks in.  “Mike!  It’s time to walk the dogs!”  She tells us that she’s planning to fly under the radar for awhile.  She’s worried that she’ll be seen as a target for making that comment after Steph told the story about her husband dying.  Mike pulls out some paranoid bullshit about Stephanie being so smart she reads his and Kevin’s lips from across the room when they’re trying to strategize.  She’s smart, but I somehow doubt it.  Robin tells us that she wants Stephanie on her team.  Mike tells Robin to listen more, talk less.  They discuss a signal that lets Robin know when she needs to shut up.  Of course, they won’t need it.  Buh-bye, Robin.

Assistant Coach

Robin is in the bedroom with Stephanie.  She said that she wants Steph to know that she wants to come back, because there’s been some speculation that she wants to go home.  She tells Steph that she’s playing to win. Stephanie says that her strategy is to win the challenges.  Robin is telling Stephanie what to say, when to say it, and how to do it.  Ok - this is before the challenge.  She wants Steph to back her up on the challenge as sort of a Co-Team Captain, to help her win.  We also learn that Robin picked Stephanie first to be on her team, because of her brains.  She respects Steph and wants her to help win the challenge.  It’s unfortunate for Robin that the challenge wound up something that there could be no real strategy.  Anyway, we cut to Stephanie in the confessional, telling us that she was never picked for sports in school, so it feels good to be the first-round choice.

Damage Control

Well, this is interesting.  As if Holly doesn’t talk enough, she’s sitting on the bed talking to Erica, and it’s echoing, so I get to hear everything she says twice.  Wonderful.  Anyway, she’s talking to Erica about coming back into the house with a clean slate.  ABC wants me to watch five minutes of Holly speaking doubly?  Why do they hate me?  Anyway, “blah blah blah clean slate blah blah blah.”  Erica tells Holly that she intends to vote for her, because Holly has voted for her every week since the beginning.  She doesn’t want to be the mean girl this week.  Anyway, Erica says that there’s some jealousy involved, because Holly is super hot, but it really has to do with Holly voting for her.  Erica is done talking smack about Holly to others.  This is really boring.  Don’t watch it.  Erica says again that she doesn’t want to be mean girls.  I feel like this video may not be “Damage Control,” but “Mean Girls.”  Whatever.  They go into the living room and find Joy.  Holly is whining about people sending tweets about her.  They say they didn’t, and I think they’re being honest about that.  I don’t remember seeing tweets about Holly when she was out of the house.  Holly tells Joy that Erica said she’s jealous of her.  Joy says that’s stupid, because Erica is beautiful (which she is).  Is Holly whining that Erica said she’s too beautiful?  Yeah, she’s obnoxious.

Good vs. Evil

The name of this video already annoys me.  I think we all know which team should be “Team Good,” if any, and it’s not the team with bigots and haters.  Anyway, Andrea and Ashley are sitting on a bed with weird porno music playing in the background.  Ashley whispers that “It’s good versus evil - good always prevails.”  I hope she’s right.  See my second sentence.  Cut to Holly saying the same thing.  Then, she tells the others not to play a dirty game, at the same time she’s talking trash about the others.  This is only 40 seconds, and it’s really not worth watching.

Joy Probes Erica

Ooooh, dirty!   Joy and Erica are in the bathroom.  That weird porn music is there again.  Joy asks Erica if she and Kevin had an awkward moment that morning, and Erica said that she doesn’t know what she’s talking about.  Joy says she’s glad that Erica was the first, not her.  This is also super short, but it’s a cute interaction between them.

Ori is Named

Everyone is hanging out in the living room.  This is just a clip from the earlier feed where Ori tells them her name.  Zzzzzz.  We’ve all seen this (at least, all four of us that have no lives and actually watch the video feeds).
