‘Big Brother 14’ review: Ian Terry’s ‘Risky Business’
Welcome back to another edition of “Big Brother 14” — otherwise known as the show where Ian Terry attempting to recreate Tom Cruise’s role in “Risky Business.”
While there was plenty of great content this episode — primarily the coaches’ challenge that saw some of the greatest players in the history of the show ride around like greased-up cowboys — but we still can’t get the image of a semi-clothed geeky college student running around and diving under sofas in the living room. Why? He apparently wanted to feel the house, and apparently either thought that everyone was asleep, or that there was no TV in the Head of Household room for whatever reason. There’s also what he did with Joe’s cowboy hat, but we are trying to wipe that from our mind.
Since we’ve already spoiled what happens in this episode in terms of strategy from the live feeds — mostly in that we already knew that Frank and Kara are on the block and that Ian was spared thanks to Boogie winning the coaches’ challenge. With that in mind, let’s focus on some more hilarious observations from the night.
The weird and wacky from Sunday night:
-If you take away the hair from Frank, he looks like Dexter Morgan. And you people thought Ian was creepy…
-Joe, stop screaming in the Diary Room. The camera is two inches from your face.
-We don’t really get Ian’s game at this point. He’s a little bit creepy, but we also think that there’s just a part o him that is desperate for inclusion and he doesn’t know just where he should be or what he should do. Maybe it’s the geek in us, but we feel for him.
-The line of the night comes from Willie in talking about Ian’s run around the house: “this is like the best movie ever!”
-Dan was smart for throwing the coaches’ challenge, and it just shows yet again why he is one of the best players out there. He’s never overt, but subtle in every move that he makes.
-Boogie’s Diary Rooms are still part evil, and part hilarious. We just miss the fake phone calls between him and Dr. Will.

I’ve been watching bb after dark and Ian and Brittney were discussing why he rocks back and forth. Ian said when he was a child he was kidnapped . The rocking is a calming effect for him because he has extreme anxiety and doesn’t feel comfortable in his own skin. He again repeated it when he won hoh and they let him in the room to see his pics and basket. Whether this story is true or if Ian made it up for sympathy my point is that society is quick to jump to conclusions about people and label them. We have no idea what he has gone through in his life to make him who he is. Nor do we know his medical history. I’m sure once bb has ended he will address it.

Repetitive motions. Rocking back & forth. On the hammock & when he is sitting on a chair. Good memory. Wow. It’s classic Aspergers. No doubt.

Good for you venessa I agree. My granddaughter has asperger as well and as I read the comments I was thinking the exact same thing as you. Anybody that really knows ASD it has been said by Temple Grandin and others you don’t need to let everyone know. Go Ian!

What’s amazing to me is that so many of you think that Ian has been diagnosed. I personally have Asperger’s (diagnosed at age 26), and have met many young adults who are not only undiagnosed, but have never even heard about Aspergers.
I don’t believe CBS needs to address it, it would be Ian’s choice. Maybe if he has been diagnosed, Ian has chosen not to let it define him as a person.

I agree it does look like Ian may have ASD, what surprises me most is that Daniel has not picked up on it or said anything. I know she is hiding the fact that she is a nurse but she could still gently suggest to go easy on the jokes.

CBS definitely needs to address this issue in a professional manner. I am absolutely appalled. The Big Brother guests need to be educated. Aspergers is not something to be laughed at in anyway. Aspergers is actually a gift. Those house guests should be so lucky to have such intelligence.

Frank looks to me like Malcolm Mcdowell in the movie A Clockwork Orange. Google the pics….

I completely agree with you Misty. I thought for sure CBS would comment on this. As they were making fun of him in the HOH room it just broke my heart because he was displaying classic ASD symptoms. I don’t want to jump the gun with conclusions but as a health care professional working with individuals on the spectrum it was clear.

yes I too believe, he has Aspergers. Which is a form of high functioning Autism. I have two children with it. I can’t believe CBS would even let this go on. They need to inform the house or public so the jokes stop

I totally agree. He is also super smart. I hope he makes it far…my son also has Asperger’s :)

I have a feeling that Ian may have Asperger’s. His tippy toe walking, his facial movements, his gait, his awkward social skills…
