God is a Big Brother fan, who knew?

More of what I missed. July 27th, 9pm: Jameka and Amber have divided the house, good vs. evil ..... or shall we say, "evel." Not only are they the "good people" but they believe that God is playing an active role in deciding how the game will go. Inspired by this, Jameka tells Kail and Jen that she feels as though God has chosen her to play, win and use the veto on Jen. Jameka will go on to win the veto and save Jen and this moment will go down in Big Brother history as "the magic ping pong ball." But in the end, Jen, Kail and Jameka will be sent packing.

Turns out God loves Dick too.

What I missed, what Dick missed .....

I am going to be posting clips during the replay of things that I missed the first time around. This first one is major.

Dick Donato will go down in Big Brother history as a loud mouth jerk but that oversimplifies the truth. The man is one of the more complex characters we've seen and one of the kindest. He wore his heart on his sleeve and this first clip is an example of that.

On the very first night of the live feeds, during the first Dick at Night show, Dick is alone outside with this thoughts and his Marlboros. He laments that he's missing Daniele despite the fact that she's there in the house with him. He realizes that Dani always wanted to be Alice and now she is.

There have been many ego-maniacle jerks to walk out of the Big Brother doors, Dick was not one of them.

My name is Clio the Leo and I am an addict.

Actually, I have an aDICKtion, but that's a whole 'nother issue.

Clio was the ancient Greek muse of history, she was also known as "the Proclaimer" and her name comes from the root word which means "to make famous."

I was born in September under the sign of Virgo ...... but I was late.

I remember the first commercial I saw for Big Brother back in 2000. It showed the winner of the UK version running out of the house. I didn't quite understand it, I thought it was like one of those contests where they put people into a car and the last one out wins. But it looked interesting enough, so I decided to tune in. I can still remember the SUV's carrying the first contestants through the Hollywood hills on their way to the old Big Brother house. Seems like yesterday.

Was it not just a moment ago that I could cried out "NO!!!!" and could PHYSICALLY feel a change in my body as The Evil Doctor broke down my hatred toward him and actually made me fall in love? The original Mindscrew. I feel like I've just wiped the tears from my face as Marcellas mistakenly didn't use the veto to save himself and went sobbing out the front door with Boo in his hand.

My heart is still racing from the sight of Natalie bursting through the diary room door to reunite with her twin and reveal the twist to a awe-struck Scott and Jase. Cowboy it up! Yes indeed!

I'm still leaping for joy at the sight of Kaysar storming back into the house and into Howie and Janey's open arms.

And as for Erika ruining my birthday, convincing Janelle to send home the greatest player in reality show history and quite possibly her one true love? Sorry Triz, I'm still bitter.

That brings us to Dick ........... I can't even put it into words ......... I'm still in a fog ....... thank you for everything!

Oh where has the time gone? It has dripped one Sun Drop at a time, one late night becomes early morning moment. But I have still have those times with me safe and sound ..... and each and every live feed capture is a pearl in a strand of wonderful memories.

Man, I need to get a life!
