Latest BB9 Live Feeds and Stuff


"I love a good buffet table!"

My latest BB9 live feeds report is up over at TV Squad. I'll be reporting here again later tonight. It's a snoozefest for the most part there today, literally.

Blog reader Sydney wanted to know if I have a personal choice for the win. I really haven't had one since the start of the season. I know I don't want Sheila to win, but I'm a bit ambivalent after that.

Readers were also trying to figure out a comp rigged for Sheila to win. I'd say it would be an endurance comp. Yep, you heard me. But twist the endurance to her talents. Who can drone on and on, then on all over again? You got it. An endurance contest for nonstop talking!

Today was raw, chilly, and grey here. But signs of spring are coming even though the temperatures aren't cooperating! I found this sprig of leaf and bud in the crook of a tree.

Sheila could win a "who can drone on the longest" contest as long as she could repeat herself every few sentences. She's a single mom, you know.

Love your shot of spring. We take that for granted here in SoCal but I imagine it's very special to see that where you live. Brrrrrr!

Ha, that was what I was thinking about early today, Jackie. Give them 10 minute time slot, set it up in the yard, with one at a time out there. They would have to talk for the entire time. Then bring them all out with a score board set up with their names and under it the total number of words spoken in the 10 minutes. Whoever had the most words...wins!

Jackie...

I knew you were going to say (before I finished reading it) the comp geared for Shreika would be something like who can talk the longest...and say nothing.

Were you feeding the pidgeons again? ;) It's so amazing to see that first new growth after the trees and ground have been barren all winter.

I used to love to feed the swans in the pond in a nearby park when I was a kid. There was even one black swan there. My Mom finally got wise when the bread was disappearing so quickly. In the Winter months the pond would freeze over and we would ice skate on it.

I'm babbling like Shreika now. Whoops! Running over to TS now to find out the latest.

Zoetawny said...

Whoops! That would be pigeons. LOL

Laurie said...

Now I'm laughing at my own post. I just read your live blogging and it turns out Sheila mentioned her single mother stuff often today. Who knew?

Maybe the HOH contest could be who can talk 10 minutes without saying something.

Let's see: Sheila can't say she's a single mom. Gnat can't say she didn't give Mattie a bj. Sharon can't talk about Jacob. Ryan .. well Ryan can't talk for 10 minutes so it doesn't matter. Adam can't talk and touch himself anywhere. Is that everyone?

OMG---why didn't I think of that for a comp.???

That's exactly what I do with the 2nd graders at my grandchildren's school. They read a story as fast as possible for 1 min. and then have 1 min. to tell me what they read!! Their scored on how many words they read and what they comprehended.
She-rock could certainly win the talking part but I'm not sure her re-tell would be great---although she says the same thing every 30 sec.......

*I'm a single Mom
*I'm doing this for my son
*You don't know how hard this is
*I'm never did anything to him
*I'm old enough to be your mother
*Oh, my God!
*I'm just trying to make a better life
*I will not be treated like this

What did I miss?

sharon-congrats. on turning blue. I'm jealous!

Sydney said...

Jackie, how you manage to find these wondrous little details when your knee is hurting, you have your job, writing all the TV Squad stuff on deadlines, and all of us always chirping for more is beyond me. Especially in the rush rush world of east coast life. It takes a certain state of mind to spot things worth photographing, then to have the camera ready, and capture the moment. My pic would have the pigeon just looking AWAY, or blurred as he'd decide to take off just as my shutter clicked!

Zoe -- not babbling. Liked to hear about it.

Cngrats Sharon -- I took a gander... looks great! Nana, this will get fixed some way, some how!

Delee said...

Nana you forgot about her book deal and hoping to have it made into a movie!

Delee said...

Jackie, great pictures, BUT were you loring that pigeon for Roofus's supper. HAHA

joy n said...

I have a question. Don't they usually have seven people on the jury in the end? If so, then Chelsia, Joshuah, James and Sharon will have the majority vote, with only Matt and whichever other two people Gnat stabs in the back (from Team Christ) with three votes.

I really can't see Gnat taking Adam or Ryan to the f3 when there might be a good possibility of Adam or Ryan getting those four votes instead of Gnat. She'd have a better chance taking Sheila to the end, wouldn't she?

Zoetawny said...

Ok, you guys talked me into finally editing my profile...a little. I can't believe I actually did it. I'm a very private person on the net after getting stalked and burned when I was a naive AOL newbie. I don't have a blog so nothing to enter there. ;)

Nana...

I read your dancing weekend was fantabulous. I'm glad you made it home safely after reading about the avalanches. Phew! We missed you. I'm sure Josie missed you more. How is she coming along?

Laurie said...

FOTFLMAO! That is sooooooooo perfect. :D

delee...

What would the name of that movie be?

Great comp idea Jackie. I was trying to think of one that involved floating, but can't come up with anything. But, I remembered something else that might work. There is a type of card game (bunko? bridge? ) we used to play. I have forgotten the name. But the lowest score (the loser in other words) won...backward bridge maybe?) I loved it, it was the only time I ever won!

I heard Nat say something recently. She was talking about loving football and all the football items she had at her home and work. She said, 'That is what Sunday's are for...to watch football'. Made me wonder if she has a home church.

Sydney said...

Great thinking Joy N!!

Is anyone is even thinking about these things in the house? I have stopped looking into anything but the show so I have no idea if they are. But something tells me they're not?

Speaking of talking.....I thought it was hilarious that BB had to caption Adam when he was talking!!! He was in the DR and wasn't whispering, just speaking in that garbled talk(you know, like he has a mouth full of food).

Of course, if we want Sheila to LOSE to talking comp. make them talk for 10minutes BUT never use the words I or me!!

Zoe--my Josie did miss me. My hubby tried but she is a bit difficult to handle and he was amazed that I did it all day. We were suppose to go to dinner Sun. night but after my 8 hr. drive I decided to stay home with my doggie. She was a happy puppy.

Sheila's movie title:

"Confined, Confused, and
Condemned"

tried to start a blogspot with google. too frustrated to continue tonight. have been reading some of the blogs...fun getting to know you all a little better. tried to respond then realized i had to be a fellow blogger. will try again tomorrow. right now, i have put bb thoughts to bed and must turn my attenetion to "The Hills" cheesy, i know.

Delee said...

Zoetawny, whatever the name of her book/movie will be...

"Lonely Mom and Penthouse Has-Been Who Conquered Big Brother"

Nancy huge "Hills" fan too, taping it so I can watch "The English Gent and His Ladies"! Also if I can get a blog set up so can you! We are rooting for you.

VIBE for vibrant said...

I am enjoying all the blogs, meeting you all. This is awesome, who knew my addiction to BB would bring opportunities for some new friends to read and be inspired by?

zoetawny, I also am keeping pretty private, similar reasons. Once I had my name in a blog, and my neighbours didn't like what I wrote, and hoo-boy, what a mess!

Anonymous said...

Anyone interested in the BB house......
James has decided he is going to start trashing on Nat. to get her upset. Then on Tues. he will keep her up all night so she will do poorly in the HOH comp.(he wants Sharon to win it). Ryan told James that Adam threw the POV comp. so he could win. That makes Adam look like he was forced to put up James. If Adam had won he would have had to veto his own noms. to get James on the block. James is NOT happy! I think a storm is brewing over Southern Cal. It could be an interesting 48 hrs. Sheila seems to be sitting back enjoying it all.

DWTS starts in 20 mins.
I'll check in before bed.

My word verification is tytnl--looks like tylenol--someone must be thinking of Sheila!!

joy n said...

James should go to the source. Ryan could be lying, trying to sway James vote towards himself.

Okay, Nasty Natalie is in her bed praying to God on the feeds. I must be suffering from PTSD. Didn't Amber do the same thing last year.... "God Bless You God"?

I'm so sick of of NN and Sheila, but you know someone will take Sheila at least to the final 3. Has to happen. She can't win the type of competitions they have after final 4. She would be like Jameka in final 4, and their is no way she would win the round 1 endurance or the round 2 physical and round 3 memory/guessing sort of thing. Yye, Yye, Yye. Get NN out and soon.

monty924 said...

Sorry, I should have inserted a hiccup in this line:

Didn't Amber do the same thing last year.... "God Bless You God"?

Or was that when she said excuse me? Geesh! I'm tired of the Maggie's nerd herd, Amber's good people and all the good vs. evil in Big Brother. Everyone has to lie at some point to make it to the end of this game. That's why Dr. Will (Evil Dr. Will, lol) is the most beloved of all time. He did it the entire season of BB2.

PDX Granny said...

I left a comment on the previous post, then realized another one was started. I'm copying it here for nana's sake. :)

Hey, Nana - I had a problem with not being able to remember my password. I finally went to www.blogger.com and was able to get it re-set.

After going to the site, I entered my email address, then instead of entering my password, I clicked on the "?" mark to the right of "Password". I was sent an email with a link to re-set. Now all I have to do is get this feeble brain of mine to remember what I set it to.

I know what you mean about sitting down for a few minutes, then next thing you know, an hour's gone by! I got home from work shortly after 5:00 and thought I'd do a quick check to see what's happened in the house today. . . . .and now, here it is, 2 1/2 hour later!

I saw that there's going to be a try out in Portland. Cool Beans, as Nichomas (sp) would say. I wouldn't mind taking a peek to see what kind characters it'll draw.

Laurie said...

Adam threw the comp so Ryan could win? I believe that because I thought the pigs were flying again when Ryan won. Without a woman to lead him I don't think he could do anything but grunt and eat.

No, I'm not a Ryan fan. He just seems big, dumb and stupid to me.

Sheila's movie could be "10 Years in the Penthouse and all I got was this wet T-shirt"

Sydney said...

OMG Laurie. Now THAT line takes the cake!

Sydney said...

Oh please go and report to us PDX Granny. If Nancy in Pa does it in her town and I do it in Houston and you do it where you are it would be a hoot to compare. And also to see if any part of the country comes up with anyone over 30 or without a killer bod.

Anonymous said...

Love your Spring is sprung picture!And,as I mentioned before it was 70 and mostly sunny here today. So nice,but then I see the forecast and we will have snow showers and 40's by this weekend. RATS!!I love the compostion of this picture,the gray and then the contrast of that lone bud,so pretty.I'm trying to capture decent pix of all my kitties and then will try to put a picture with my posts. Baby steps,that's what it takes me to try and master these things...LOL.

Did somebody mention that Sheila was a single mother? I don't think she's mentioned that before?!?!

Laurie said...

I love being in a place where humor is not only accepted but encouraged!

I was hoping there would be an audition in SoCal so some of us could meet up there. It would be such a hoot to see who auditions! Alas, no such luck.

--------
High five to you Laurie!!!


Sydney, I'm not about to drive 4 hours to Houston to be the over 30 chick that doesn't have a hot bod, but to see what kind of people who do show up would be interesting. Besides I couldn't handle the lights in that house. I would be Marcellis with my bandana over my eyes all the time. My theory is that the applicants already have contact casting agents to get them on the show, thus why all the 20-something size 0 people.

-------
Ok as far as future comps-- one of the upcoming POVs has to be the timed morphed face competition. Now that will be good TV to watch Sheila spend 45 minutes trying to figure out who is who, for the exception of who they morph her face with.

Wait that's it! The competition will be all morphed Sheila faces with other HG's and she wins!

I've lost my mind....

PDX Granny said...

I went into the BB site on CBS to see what I could find out about the upcoming auditions. Just for the fun of it, I looked at the requirements. #9 says applicants must be in excellent physical and MENTAL condition.

Is this a new rule?????

joy n said...

pdx granny,loved your last line. Still chuckling as I type.

Jackie has a new post up.

PlaidChick said...

pdx granny-- nope it's been there for a while-- that's why so many of us were having a fit over Amber last year because we all thought she had no business being in that house.

I just read the application for the fun of it. You definitely have to be insane to go on that show.

joy n said...

That's the same reason Sheila shouldn't be there this season. She's a looy tune, too.

Zoetawny said...

Sue...

Maybe they have football church in OR. Let's face it, Nat's in her own delusional world and I don't know what planet she's on.

It was so funny when Adam's mom told him to stop picking his nose and the next few frames we see is Adam picking his nose.

Laurie...

You cracked me up with "Ryan can't talk for 10 minutes." Ryan seems like the type of dude to be in one of the Animal House movies. All he has to do is eat, drink beer and grunt.

joy n...

Good logic! Of course they aren't thinking because they're so busy pointing fingers at who lied about what to whom.

It's very interesting that when Dr. Will, legendary BB puppet master and manipulator lied he never seemed to get any wrath from viewers and/or posters. I think it was because he was honest about that fact that he was going to lie. I know that sounds like an oxymoron but I think you know what I mean. He lied without being mean spirited or hypocritical. Besides, he had that charismatic grin. ;)

Nana said...

Sheila's movie title:

"Confined, Confused, and
Condemned"

That's really a good one. LOL Now, I'm going to go relax and watch some TV and all I'm going to be thinking about are movie titles.

Sydney...

Thanks for posting the audition list. (That was you, right? Sorry if it wasn't and I screwed that up.) I thought it was odd that there were no auditions in L.A. I wonder if CBS alternates states/cities each season?

I'm going to check back later so won't say "Niters" yet. ;)
