Big Brother 11: Very confusing animal metaphors send Ronnie to the block

Okay, let me see if I've got this straight, according to Big Brother 11.

Russell thinks Ronnie is a snake. So he's a mongoose, to kill the snake. However, Ronnie prefers to be thought of as a king cobra, which can kill the mongoose.

Well, what if Russell turns himself into a muskox, and just tramples Ronnie?

Animal metaphors confuse me, it seems. They seem to quickly get out of hand, as in this clip from Neil Gaiman's Sandman, a la Youtube. 

So Russell, who may or may not be a mongoose, has put up Ronnie the snake and Lydia the canary for eviction this week. (SPOILER ALERT!) Neither will win the Veto, but the Coup D'etat is in play, which means the winner of America's vote could take either or both off the block at the last minute.

There's an old saying about the NCAA Basketball tournament, in that it doesn't really begin until the first upset is made. That's the way I feel about Big Brother. Things don't get exciting until one of the top-notch players go up on the block. Who could forget Dustin's monumental gaffe in Big Brother 9 that changed the game?

I think we're finally to the good part.

    There was no Dustin in BB9. Do you mean 8?

    I really hope people vote for Ronnie and he wins the coups d'etat. Then things will get really interesting!

    The show will only be watchable when Rat is kicked out. The best part is that he won't even be part of the jury. Compete loser. . societal scum. . .

    I hope Ronnie does not win. Its hard to watch is lying, conniving ass. He needs to go in the worst way. I want to punch him in the face. He needs to stick w/ joysticks.

    BB Fan, thanks for the catch. I was referring to the moment when Dustin was voted out, and the surprise on his face. I remember his jaw dropping open in stark astonishment. Good times.

    Folks, I really like having Ronnie in the house. He gives everyone a target. If/when he leaves, it'll be nothing but muscle-heads yelling at each other.
