My favorite part of summer is when Big Brother returns to CBS. For those of you that do not know, Big Brother is reality competition show where a group of houseguests are isolated from the world and are under surveillance 24/7 in the "Big Brother" house for three months. Each week there is a Head of Household (HOH) who nominates two people to be evicted but they have the chance to be taken off the block. Several houseguests (the two nominees, the HOH, and three randomly chosen houseguests) are chosen to play in a Power of Veto (PoV) competition, whoever wins the Veto can take someone off the block and make the HOH choose a replacement nominee. Or it could not be used at all. It goes until there are three houseguests left and evicted houseguests make up the jury. The jury votes for a winner and the one who has the most votes wins half a million dollars.

Anyways, last season was terrible. The people in the house were despicable racists and bullies, except for two or three people. This season, was slightly better, but not by much. Last Thursday was the finale, at least it was for me. This season was terrible and I'm protesting the rest of the season. So here I am to complain now. Where shall I begin? Let's start with the all the things that bother me this season. First thing that bothers me is the opening credits.

Here are last season's opening credits, which are the normal and traditional Big Brother credits. It has the houseguest's name and a little clip of them in a box. Then it shows their Big Brother picture in this little house thing and above the house is the sacred Big Brother eye which has been there since the first season of Big Brother!! Now here is this season's credits.

Here we have all the houseguests posing and dancing and moving around. Excuse me Big Brother, this is not America's Next Top Model. I do not want to see the houseguests dancing around and posing (except Zach, Donny and Nicole because they're perfect). You want to know the real thing that bothers me? Where is the eye?! That's the whole premise behind Big Brother, a tribute to 1984 and George Orwell, the Eye!!! Is Big Brother not watching them this season or something? Is that why this season sucks? I guess Big Brother gave up on this season too.
Next on my list of complaints, Team America. Three houseguests were elected by America to join our alliance. This twist was a bust. The first nominee for Team America was Joey, who was also the first evicted houseguest. Then we learn Donny, the lovable groundskeeper, was the next one voted to be part of Team America. The other two members? Frankie and Derrick. Now I understand how Frankie got voted on Team America, he was likable in the beginning, now not so much. I still to this day do not understand how America voted for the undercover cop, Derrick. That baffles me everyday. Team America has only completed three out of seven tasks because honestly they don't work well together and they only care about their personal game. Hence why Derrick and Frankie voted out Donny. Rude.

Now this last twist I hate is the BB Rewind. This was the straw that broke the camel's back. BB Rewind is a magical gold button and when pushed it will reset that week of the game. Really Big Brother? Really? Where was this magical button when Donny, Nicole or Zach were on the block?! Sorry CBS, this attempt to fix your already broken show is a little too late.

Oh what to complain about next? Hmmm, how about Derrick? Derrick has been controlling this house since day one. I'd like to call him a puppet master but you can't be a puppet master if everyone just willingly does whatever you want them to. What's sad is that no one has realized he's calling the shots except for Nicole and Donny, which is why they're in the jury house. Nicole please never compare Derrick to Dan Gheesling, that's an insult to Dan. His ego is getting too big and it is hard to watch. However, I'll admit he's playing the best game out of everyone else left in the house. It'a amazing he hasn't been put on the block yet. If he doesn't win the game I'll be flabbergasted.

You know who else I can't stand? Ariana Grande's brother. Frankie is the most annoying person in the house and is a total fame whore and despicable human being. All the rude things he's said this season, god, I regret liking him and rooting for him in the beginning. I thought he was going to be a fun and sassy guy not a self obsessed monster. It's annoying how he sucks up to ever beautiful Julie Chen in every live episode. We all know he doesn't care about America or the rest of the house. All he cares about is how many followers he has on his social media.

But the thing that upsets me the most about this season is the rest of the house. They are not playing the game, they are all peasants in the Big Brother community. They're not making any big moves, to quote Nicole "stop playing Big Baby, let's play Big Brother." Preach it girl, Nicole you're the real MVP. One alliance has been in control the entire game and honestly it's boring. Every vote seems to be unanimous and no one has the brains or guts to stand up to anyone.

Let's take a minute and reflect on who is left in the house. We've already talked about King Derrick and Ariana Grande's brother. Then we have Beast Mode Cowboy, Caleb, who's dumber than a stick. He thinks he's running the show but he's really just doing Derrick's dirty work, like when he got rid of Nicole instead of making a big move and helping his own game. Then there's Cody, a pretty face that flirts with anything with a pulse who also does Derrick's dirty work. Last but not least, there's Victoria who hasn't done much which is why she's the most likable person in the house at the moment.

Don't get me wrong, there have been some good things that have happened this season. There are very few but let's take a look down memory lane and remember the good times we once had.

The idea of two HOHs and four nominees was very interesting, I enjoyed that twist this season. The only downfall was that people would put up weak players to guarantee that they would remain HOH this season. And with there being four nominees the traditional key pulling ceremony was not around this season, which I missed.

This is Zach Rance and he is flawless. Besides being a very good looking man, he is actually a funny and decent human being. He's witty, smart and loud. He is an unemployed college graduate, who tells it like it is. He's not afraid to call people out if they've done something wrong. He also created the clever insult "fruit loop dingus" (which I now use constantly). When Zach left the house, it never was the same and all the fun and entertainment died. All we had left was Donny and Nicole, when she fought her way back into the house.

Next there is Donny Thompson, the most likable person in Big Brother history. Never have I ever seen anyone as kind and genuine as Donny play this game. Donny's kind soul, likable personality and awesome beard has won over America's heart. I guarantee you he will win Fan Favorite this year and I can't wait to see him on Bold and the Beautiful.

Oh Nicole, you are a beautiful dork, or as Zach would say a fruit loop dingus. Nicole was one of my favorites since day one of this season. She instantly reminded me of Jordan who is also flawless. Nicole is the cute southern girl and super fan. She was not afraid to make a big move. She had the guts to nominate Caleb and Frankie, and by some miracle Frankie won that Battle of the Block when Caleb chose to sit out. She was evicted once and then got the chance to go back in but sadly that didn't last long because this game is too predictable.

Now the most epic moment this season was when Christine got booed as she exited the Big Brother house. Christine is a married woman and had a strange relationship with Cody, they were always so flirty and touchy towards together and it was uncomfortable to watch. The most priceless moment though was when the remaining houseguests heard the boos and they were shocked. Yeah houseguests America is not impressed.

Big Brother 16 was a predictable season and there's no need to watch the rest of it. If Derrick does not win, that will be biggest shock all season. To those of you still watching I applaud you, I don't know how you're doing it.

Have you ever wondered what the face of madness looks like? Well look here.

That is me, and yes I have gone mad. Now why on Earth have I gone possibly crazy? Well if you lived next door to a daycare, I guarantee you'd go mad too. Now I'm not saying all daycares are bad, I'm just saying the one I live next to is about the equivalent of sitting next to 12 crying babies on an airplane for 10 hours straight for about five days a week.

Now there's one thing you need to know about me. I'm extremely sensitive when it comes to children. I went through a phase where I strongly disliked children and I was actually terrified of them. When my niece, Emily was born, I was scared to hold her as a baby. But once I got to know her and got used to her tiny self, I fell in love with her. Now I am her Aunt Kay Kay, (cute right?) and she's my precious little ballerina with too much energy. But I'm not going to lie, some children still do terrify me, only the children who I believe have potential to be the spawn of satan and are extremely evil.

But anyways, back to these annoying children. Let's go through a normal day in the life of Kaitlin. I wake up about 8:30 am because my dog Buddy wants to be let outside to go do his business. So I groan, get up and let him out because I'm a caring owner and then I go back to bed. Now, I Kaitlin Mary Simpson am not a morning person. My days don't start until after 11 am, unless I have a job or something important to do. Don't worry future employer, I'll be there to work bright and early! So I go back to bed and sleep, then about an hour later I am rudely awakened by the screams and cries of these pesky children. Oh and by the way, my bedroom is on the second floor of my house and it is literally right next to their back yard. My windows look into their yard, so I can see almost everything. When my windows are open it feels like I am actually at the daycare. I've actually learned some of the children's names because they get yelled at constantly.

Now it's not just the children's cries and screams. I hear them being yelled at by their caretaker and owner of the daycare. So it's not just the yelling and crying of a bunch of children driving me to insanity, it's also the yelling the 55-year-old woman who is being paid to take care of these children.

Once I am rudely awakened, I am grumpy and irritable throughout the day. I can't focus, I can't think. The yelling overwhelms me to the point where I can't hear the thoughts inside my head. I haven't been able to focus on my writing (which is part of the reason why I did not write anything for August, the other reason being traveling) or even watch some of my favorite tv shows!

Now anyways, this daycare business has been going on for over year. Props to my Mom for putting up with it for this long, I've only been dealing with it for the past four months. Listening to those children and their caretaker yell and scream all day, everyday, really takes a toll on you. I wake up with headaches and have them all throughout the day. I'm always angry and moody, unless I'm out of the house. The noise can get so loud sometimes that I can hear it all the way in the kitchen, which is on the other side of the house.

Now I've been dealing with this for four months, why am I complaining and writing about it now? Well I've gone mad, and I've reached the point where I can't take it anymore. Just recently I had a dream where I could hear the screams of the children. When I woke up, the screaming didn't stop. The screaming made it's way to disturb my subconscious. Does that sound normal? No it does not.

Look, I'm not anti-daycare. I believe daycares are essential especially for parents who work and not able to take care of their children during the day. I am however against daycares in homes. I don't think people should be allowed to run a daycare from their home. That's just my personal feelings towards it based on the one I live next to. If you want to run a daycare, cool good luck with that. I hope you do a better job than my neighbor.
