Maybe theyve always done that, and Ive been less observant in years past.

For some reason, this week, we get another standard episode even though everyone has a skull.

Im sick of reiterating the same point.

But the producers keep trying to make this woman happen, and its not just happening!

I demand either humor, immaturity, or anger issues from my reality stars.

The best have a combination of two or three (i.e., NeNe Leakes and Ramona Singer).

But thats enough ranting.

Lets get into this painfully dull episode where I will assuredly rant some more!

We began as we always do with everyone returning from the Crater.

In another room, Kaycee and Amber B. are congratulating each other on making it this far.

Can we kindly have one conversation on this show that doesnt have to do with the game?

Is there absolutely nothing else for these people to talk about?

The next morning, CT wakes Big T up at the crack of dawn to train for the final.

This is obviously some kind of scripted comedy bit, like 90 percent of their interactions on this show.

Theres a very basic Eye of the Tiger needle drop.

Next, we move on to our daily mission, called Global Domination.

This time, the balls are made out of metal instead of plastic.

You see, blown-up plastic is fun and bouncy and makes for good physical comedy.

These circular cages simply cause our competitors pain whenever they fall inside of them.

The game is played with two teams on offense and two on defense.

The goal is to roll as many targets as possible.

& Kyle and Kam & Cory on defense.

To start, the teams have to roll off of these ramps, which look so terrifying.

Kaycee and Leroy immediately fall, and Kaycee is making these insane grunting noises.

Thats the most I laughed during this challenge.

We can barely see the expressions on the competitors faces.

We dont really hear the teammates communicating with each other.

This mission is better in theory than it is in practice.

Now its time for the next heat, and the teams swap positions except for Kaycee & Leroy.

Im not sure how he came up with this equation, but I immediately knew that it was wrong.

& Kyle, which allows Leroy & Kaycee to hit a bunch of targets without any interference.

I do enjoy the way Leroy looks at Kaycee whenever they win, though.

At this point, I think he loves this woman as much as he loves Kam.

At the club, CT, Big T, Kyle, and Amber B. are reiterating this same idea.

We could honestly just watch this conversation happen inside the house on one of the couches.

Having these game discussions under strobe lights doesnt make them more interesting.

Once they return from the club, theres more dull game talk.

And Amber B. pressuring her doesnt work because nothing about her is intimidating.

As expected, Amber B.s hurt that shes not a part of theBig Brotherclique anymore.

Its gonna be a rough reunion for this man, and Im so excited.

If this were a larger group of people, maybe this would work.

But no one is taking chances this late in the game.

CT says theyll pretend to have a big fight at the deliberation.

CT turns out to be the person who splits the vote when he votes for Kyle.

At the Crater, it turns out to be a womens day, and the game is Hall Brawl.

Likewise, Amber B. and Big T hardly rough each other up.

I was mainly distracted by Big Ts butt being exposed the entire time.

Amber B. beats Big T in both rounds.

CT pretends to be upset that Big T is going home.

CTs smirk followed by Kaycee saying that was (expletive) stupid is the best part of this episode.

Nany goes back to Kyle, which is what she wanted.

Kyle is pretending that hes sick of Nany even though we all know he desperately needs a friend.

I truly hope next week is the last we see of this goddamn Crater.
