Typically, there are two destinies for returning Big Brother players: growth and stagnation. Most of our vets will take the road of stagnation, doomed to repeat the same fatal mistakes that sunk their battleships the first time around. They might flirt with growth, and they may even be able to quantify the precise moment when they are reverting to their old not-good-enough-for-this-game self. But they remain powerless to stop it from happening. The stress of the game is too much to bear.
True growth is a significantly more rarefied club. The bouncer is first-rate deehay. Among its exclusive members, one person stands out in my mind: Jessie “Mr. Pectacular” Godderz. Jessie was viewed as a narcissistic wacko by most of the house on Big Brother 10. But on Big Brother 11, his winkingly outsize personality landed him a post as cult leader of the majority alliance. It was only by the omnipotent hands of a dubiously awarded Coup d'Etát that he was taken out of the game, which of course led to that infamous period of incessant howling and moaning from his female disciples. “He was so good to us!” they would blubber.
“This ain’t my first rodeo.”—James
James Huling is an interesting case, inasmuch as he doesn’t fit either of these designations, for James’s game has actually gotten worse. I don’t understand it. I championed some of James’s work last year, and I don’t regret it. Dude played a solid game. His pranks were a scream, bonding him to new allies; he had a knack for winning clutch competitions; and his sensitivity and social intelligence brought out the best in his crew.
Yet everything that was commendable about James’s game just one year ago has spoiled wholesale. The pranks aren’t funny anymore. They’re mostly insensitive and occasionally mean-spirited. As for competitions, the ones he does win are meaningless; the clutch competitions he either “throws”[1] or disastrously loses.
But worst of all is his effect on his alliance. Once again, his alliance looks up to him, this time as a grizzled veteran. But instead of elevating his team, he vitiates them.
Michelle and Natalie had an inkling that things were amiss last week. But James did his usual act, deflecting all strategic talk with fatuous jokes.[2] He quelled their fears and encouraged them to take a week off from gameplay, because it’s not as if Victor—the guy who they just evicted—and Paul would try to work out a deal with Nicole and Corey. That would so not happen. They’re probably just talking about life. Sure, that makes sense.
Let's also bear in mind that Nicole’s HOH reign started merely a few hours after James’s verbal slip up in the kitchen. Paul was confronting Natalie and James about the way they so dishonorably boned him and Victor, to which Natalie replied, "James actually had no influence. He has no influence from where I go.” It’s the kind of lie that is so egregious it exasperates. So in a curious attempt to support Nat Nat, James offers, “I’ll go ahead and throw myself under the bus on this one: [Natalie] really wants Victor to stay.” Of course Nicole was in earshot of this, and Corey happened to be in the freakin’ room!
James couldn’t see the angles at all. He and Natalie still don’t comprehend it. They blame Nicole and Corey for betraying them, you know, by keeping both of them off of the block[3] and evicting the one person who has been vociferous about evicting Nicole. It was an intelligent move that protected Nicole from all sides, and it was her move to explore being that she won HOH. But an aggressive strike on her alliance with James and Natalie it was not. An aggressive strike would have been what Jatalie did to Victor and Paul or what they were openly considering doing to Corey.
James used to be a good player. I have no idea what happened here.
