We shall see how Amber's "vision," as she calls it, plays out in the unfolding weeks. It's a three-parter: the Vision, lo, bespoke that she, Amber, would win the latest POV competition; that she and Jameka would remain in the Big Brother House past this week's elimination vote; and, finally, that she and Jameka will be the Final Two at game's end. If Amber ends up three for three on this thing I'm growing a beard, selling my Mini Cooper and waiting under a bridge for The Rapture.

Of course, technically, Amber did essentially "win" POV. Daniele won the POV contest but Amber was always the intended recipient of the award since Daniele's master plan had been to remove her and backdoor Jen. So I'll give Amber this one — and why not? — since God does work in baffling ways. Daniele winning was Amber winning. Done deal. Thank you Lord. Amber has simply to get her head out of the fog of her constant crying jag to see the truly miraculous act that has occurred.

And now that the Straight-A-Student cum dumb-as-a-rock (or so she compels us to suggest) lingerie-model, Jen, has been cashiered and shown the door, Amber is currently two-for-three on her "Vision" tally. Spooky. I thought perhaps it might have been merely a colorful hallucination from a strict slop diet. But, then, even Las Vegas cocktail waitresses need a glimpse of the divine.

I thought it was a funny moment, though, when Amber first broached the heavenly Vision subject to the equally faithful Jameka — who didn't appear overly enthusiastic about it. I mean her eyes didn't bug out and she didn't jump up and yell, "Hallelujah!" or anything.

Just after Amber gave Jameka a choice spiritual assessment of her former ally, Jessica ("I'm done with Jessica...she's just, uh, a sneaky, little selfish, 21-year-old bitch..."), she imparted her revelation: "I'm going to win POV. I think we're both going to be here next week...I had, I had a vision." Amber spoke somewhat credulously...Jameka returned a lucidly stern, "Hmmm."

And what that pregnant, teeth-clenching "Hmmm" really told me was that Jameka, for a fleeting moment, was just doggone jealous that God (!) gave Amber this bloody Vision Thing and was about to save her crazy sobbing ass without even a peep for poor ol' Jameka.

What do you mean YOU'RE going to win POV tomorrow?" What about "Taste God" Jameka for godssake? Who in the hell do you think you are? Some freakin' pipeline to God? "Hmmm."

But then one has to have some empathy for Jameka, and Amber. They've been so blind-sided by recent events that one must understand the occasional cuss word, the descents into God fantasy, the snipping at fellow House guests and the blubbering. They've been so marginalized so swiftly and so succinctly in the Big Brother game that it's a wonder they can make it out of bed each morning.
