Caleb: Make It Work!

Caleb is weird in so many ways. It's distracting me from my usual BB distractions. I find myself switching cams trying to find Caleb. Last night Nicole and Christine were plotting a hinky vote to cause some trouble for Jocasta and..um...Donny? Or was it Britt?  I couldn't really pay attention because I was trying to see if Caleb was still shooting death stares at Cody and Amber in the hammock.  Hinky votes are my fave BB thing in all the land, and I am obsessed with a maniacal muscleman in a head scarf. Pitiful!

He has the weirdest sense of fashion I have ever seen in the BB house. Shane's pink tank top? Andy's Garanimals? Maggie's sister-wife wardrobe?  Caleb's clothing choices are so randomly weird the others pale in comparison.

He has the unibomber look, with that grey sleeveless hoodie.  The shopping at Walmart look, with the green shorts that are 3 sizes too small.  The upcycle refashion look, with Amber's dress draped around his neck as a scarf. And now, the flaming doo rag look, with a succession of rainbow hued scarves.  So weirdly random. As Tim Gunn would say, there is no continuity, no flow, to Caleb's collection of weird ass costumes for the day.

Well, there is one constant in each of these crazy ensembles: The Death Stare. After Caleb mirror-checks that the long flowing scarf is positioned just so across his beast mode muscles, he heads outside. He positions himself anywhere that he can keep an eye on Amber. The evil eye. The stink eye. The fish eye. Whatever you call it, he stares at her for hours. It's beyond creepy.

This week, Caleb has added a new layer to his weirdness. He is on a fast! A holy mission fast! He will only drink sweet tea and electrolytes, and maybe some protein drink, from now until Thursday. Then, he will eat only the oatmeal part of the slop. He will slam that oatmeal right before the HOH comp, and be full on beast mode, and win that comp. And then Amber will be his forever, they will make F2, he will get a recording contract, and Amber will star in his music videos.

Jocasta is assigned to find all Bible references to fasting. I fear a prayer meeting will soon follow. Somehow, he charms all the girls into lending him their scarves. Well, I have never actually witnessed him asking to borrow them. Maybe he just takes them, like Amber takes all the make-up and headbands without asking.They are, after all, soul mates.

He has this game on lock!  He doesn't want a showmance, that would only distract him from the game. He just wants to get to know Amber! Really KNOW her. And the best way to do that is to dress weird and stare her down for hours, on national television, in a house she cannot escape from!

Like they say in Project Runway, I want to see more from Caleb. His designs are rough right now, with no single theme tying them together. He needs room to grow, to refine his style. He must dig deeper into the girls luggage and go for it.  He has the potential, and the passion, for a full on drag look by week four. Make it work!
