Here is a little background on the cast of characters this season:
- Sharon and Jacob- (exes, he cheated after 12 years "on and off" together - doesn't that mean they started dating at like 11?)
- Matt and Natalie (Boston roofer and bikini barista)
- Alex and Amanda (dj and paralegal)
- James and Chelsia (bicycling around world college student)
- Parker and Jen (paparazzo and Ryan's gf) *marked with a target since won 1st comp. and showed off their greed
- Joshuah and Neil (token gay couple- Texan and real estate agent)
- Ryan and Allison(Jen's bf and gambling addict)
- Adam and Sheila (public relations and cougar)
When Big Brother brother setup these pairs of "soul mates"it seems they intentionally screwed over a few couples. Adam (no where near as attractive as the rest of the crew) got set up with Sheila (older than the rest of the group) and they have zero physical chemistry. However, I think Sheila is taking the lack of attraction for her teammate much too seriously. She is there to play a game not to find a life partner isn't she? So why tears after being set-up with a guy who "is not my type"? Often the people who find "love" on Big Brother are targets for quick elimination. I would see it as an advantage not to be attracted to my partner, however that doesn't mean I want to share my bed with a non-sexy smoker either when there are so many other options available.
The couple at a real disadvantage is Sharon and Jacob. It will take a lot for her to overcome her hatred for Jacob and will take her completely out of gameplay(i.e. Dustin and Joe). Jacob will be working so hard to win her back (did he really have to try to go in for the kiss during the challenge?) that he won't be playing the game.
What these couples need to remember is the rules of reality show game play. They signed up for a competitive show to win money not to find a hook-up.
Before I end today I need to say a big HURRAY for the end of the writers strike. May my tv be reality free (with the exception of Big Brother, Survivor, and all Bravo and Food network shows) again.
