Celebrity BB3: Live Feeds into Friday - Vanishing Act, Brouhaha, PoV Surprise - Feb. 11

 

"I was just acting!"

Here's the latest from inside that Celeb BB House of There's No Place Like Home:

• Chris Kattan sightings have been an internet game this season.
• We only rarely saw him eating.
• We saw him more on the televised shows than on the live feeds.
• Occasionally we would see him in bed if the camera hit his room.
• From what little we saw of him we could tell he has no idea what BB is all about, nor was he enjoying spending time with his fellow hamsters.
• No one was mean to him.
• But he was just so lost.
• He couldn't understand why they kept him over Mirai when he begged them to let him go home.
• He couldn't understand why he wasn't nominated when they all knew he wanted to go home.
• But the on camera feeds sightings of him were so rare that he was gone for almost a day before it was noticed he was not there.
• It was only noticed because it was picked up that one of the hamsters mentioned it.
• Oy.
• Now, we all know that Miesha's target is Carson.
• She put Carson and Cynthia (his closest ally) on the block.
• But then Shanna won the Power of Veto.
• WE know Shanna and Chris Kirk are working together. But the house doesn't know.
• They figure Shanna needs to take Carson off the block.
• Miesha had already decided that, if need be, she would put Todd (an ally of hers) on the block if the veto was used.
• She wanted to make sure he would be safe and asked Chris Kirk if he would keep Todd.
• Chris Kirk refused to commit to that.
• Oh noes! He dared stand up to the Queen?
• Just for that -- and the fact that her best lil' bud Todrick is constantly hounding her to do so -- when Shanna saved Carson with the veto, Miesha put CHRIS KIRK on as the renom!
• Yeppers. You heard me.
• That's the end of THAT alliance, for sure!
• Chris Kirkpatrick and Cynthia are the nominees.
• Todrick is all over that. He is sure that Chris Kirk is the most dangerous in the house and MUST go.
• Chris Kirk is sure that he will be voted out. He's referring to the move they made to save Carson as a self-eviction
• Miesha told Todd that she put him on the block because he refused to say he'd keep Todd if he was used as a pawn.
• Cynthia is sure that she is going home.
• I myself am not sure. I doubt we'll see a unanimous vote.
• Todd probably wants both of them to go.
• I did mention a brouhaha, right?
• Well, that was Todd and Cynthia.
• It seemed to be over Cynthia's vote to keep Teddi way back when.
• While both of them exhibited bad behavior, Todd went all gangster thug and kept at her.
• While she was saying she didn't even like his ribs (cooking), he was yelling knives.
• There were no fisticuffs.
• But it did show the nasty side of Todd.
• Lamar tried telling him that a man should never keep coming at a woman like that.
• Todd tried to pass it all off as he was acting.
• Acting. Yeah, right.
• Later on, Todd and Cynthia were acting like nothing had happened.
• Now, that's acting.
• Tonight's show is two hours from 8pm to 10pm ET/PT.

Still clueless but will drink the wine.

Can I just hide here for two weeks?

Need to mellow out a bit ...

He wouldn't say he'd vote out Carson over Todd!

Not so pretty 24/7

BB22: Live Feeds into Tuesday Evening - Sept. 8

 

So ... this is the kind of thing I've been watching from inside the Big Brother House of Catastrophic Chaos. I thought the videos I found could explain it better than I can given mere text and still shots. Here's the latest:

• Things have calmed down.
• But this is not a happy house no matter if BB tries to get them all playing in group activities or whatever.
• Bayleigh really shouldn't go at Christmas like that. Christmas has an arrest record for domestic violence. Bayleigh, though she can get emotional, is really not a tough girl. Apparently Christmas is and she is in great physical shape.
• It's hard to say who's lying, who's just playing the game of BB or what.
• Tyler has SAID that BB wouldn't allow him to volunteer as a renom on the block if Christmas removed one of the nominees.
• He told Bayleigh and Da'Vonne he was volunteering to go on the block and go home in the spirit of their BLM devotion for having a Black female winner.
• So ... they thought he was such a good guy.
• Then he says that BB won't let him and Christmas keeps the nominations the same.
• Yet BB allowed Christmas to go up as a volunteer renom last week?
• It's a mess.
• Meanwhile, Bayleigh has admitted to tainting the jury against Tyler in their season.
• Now, Tyler has been saying (not to Bay or Day) that Bayleigh needs to go out before jury because she's an emotional player and would sway the jury.
• Hmm. I thought it was a standard rule of BB that jury was not allowed to discuss game.
• Ian and Bayleigh talked. He was honest with her and spoke in percentages. Right now he's favorable to keeping Da'Vonne 60/40. He said it could change. He also told her that he will let her know before the vote.
• This whole mess is sad. I look at Bayleigh -- yes, she is emotional (and definitely was a bitter juror). But I've seen her try so hard to control her emotions, mainly because she doesn't want to be portrayed or perpetuate the stereotype of an angry Black woman. I get it. But I see her as a young woman, more or less a kid really, who has lived a fairly sheltered life thrown into a very disturbing reality show house. To be honest, I probably wouldn't handle it any better than her. 
• Well, my voice isn't as annoyingly pitchy. There's that.
• Da'Vonne is also fairly young. But I think she's had more of a hardscrabble kind of life and had to grow up when she was still young. 
• Christmas is coming across as cold-hearted and sneaky. Plus she talks too much. Oh ... and has an arrest record for violence and really shouldn't be in the house.
• Tyler? I just don't know. I think he wants to be a good guy. He has been telling the others how mean he was to Bayleigh in that he was a smart-ass and smug with her.
• But I just don't know about the Diary Room thing.
• They apparently don't have the exit buzzer that they can just self-evict and walk out. I don't know if it's been gone for several seasons or just this one due to COVID.
• Anyway, it's all a spool of lies as far as I'm concerned!

BB planned group actvities

Tired of the drama

I am NOT ghetto. I AM upset.

The target is off of me now

Frantic hammocking

Big Brother 20: Live Feeds Wednesday Brouhaha! - August 8

Watching BFF Bayleigh pack her bags

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Brouhaha!:

• Now, they knew I live on the East Coast.
• They knew I had to go to pool therapy (back surgery recovery) late this afternoon.
• So, what do they do? They sleep in late! Late in West Coast time!
• They owe me an apology.
• They NEED to apologize to me!
• DID YOU HEAR ME?!?! I'M NOT LEAVING THIS POST UNTIL THEY APOLOGIZE!
• I WILL SCREAM UNTIL THEY DO!
• Ahem.
• Just a personal note about me -- I've never demanded an apology for anything in my life. I actually don't believe in the idea. If someone does apologize to me for something, I love it. But a demanded apology is usually not a sincere one.
• I've caught up thanks to an extended feeds block tonight.
• Heck, I've even rewatched the brouhaha a few times!
• It all started with Haleigh calling a house meeting.
• She told them all that she was the Hacker, not Bayleigh. She claimed they all owed Bayleigh an apology for how they've treated her.
• She claimed she put Tyler up because of things he told Kaitlyn that got back to her such as he didn't think anyone would put him up and how he and Kaitlyn were working both sides of the house.
• And then it happened.
• Bayleigh went absolutely berserk on Tyler demanding an apology.
• She was a mad woman.
• Tyler just kept denying everything.
• And Bayleigh got worse and worse.
• It was definitely THE MOST EPIC SCREAM FEST ever in the BB house!
• She screamed so hard she started bleeding from her mouth.
• She went to the DR and Scottie asked her if she was okay.
• "NO! I'm NOT okay! I think I lost a tooth!"
• Say what?
• No, she didn't lose a tooth screaming. She actually bit the inside of her mouth while screaming. Still a bit scary.
• Afterwards she did start joking about she knew she could be a bit crazy, but she surprised herself by being so crazy.
• Yet I haven't seen her apologizing to Tyler?
• And, it bugged me that Sam went running after her when Tyler was the target of her ire and also not in great shape after that.
• Brett is making buddy with Fessy. But I have no doubt he's loyal to his alliance. He's a good actor.
• He told Bayleigh and Fessy he was just relieved not to be actually involved this time.
• Angela, Tyler and Kaycee say it doesn't matter -- Bayleigh still has her power. She needs to go.
• Both Scottie and JC talked to them at different times.
• The plan is still on. This changes nothing.
• The house is sort of back to its non-fighting self.
• But this was epic. I do hope they show it tomorrow night!
• After the feeds block I see Bayleigh working on Scottie. He's becoming as good an actor as our Level 6/4 Players. I do believe he will vote her out despite her promises of safety for him. 

No, I will not follow this recipe!

JC tries to talk game with Fessy

What? A house meeting?

Bayleigh goes berserk on Tyler

The aftermath of hysteria

Scottie to Tyler: "The plan remains."

BB19: Live Feeds Monday into Tuesday, Brouhahas! - July 31/August 1

Josh tells Mark his woes with Cody

Oh my gosh. I worked late, came home exhausted and missed a huge brouhaha in the house! I've now caught up thanks to the Flashback feature and will give you the skinny. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Looney Toons:

• Yes, Paul did some instigating.
• But people are responsible for their own behavior in the house.
• Sure, riling up Josh is like playing with dynamite.
• But who thought Raven would turn into a raven' lunatic?
• It all started with the Hex use possibility and with Paul saying that it's time for Cody to show his "real colors."
• While I do enjoy a good brouhaha, this ended up not being quite that at all.
• It ended up with Josh, Raven, Alex and Paul leading the charge against Jessica and Cody.
• While it was aimed more at Cody, Jessica was targeted by Raven as much as Josh targeted Cody.
• Paul instigated things with Josh, telling him what to say to Cody to "set him off."
• But Raven was instigated by Christmas who told her that Jessica said horrible things at her.
• Instead of making them both want to leave, it seems she's more likely to use the hex.
• Instead of getting Cody riled up enough to get the boot from production, they might have lengthened his stay.
• There ended up being arguments between Jessica and Cody, Christmas and Matt and more.
• This isn't good, not really.
• Yet Mark and Josh are getting along okay. Mark told Josh he's glad he's not the target of this mess.
• Hmm.
• Some are questioning if Cody ever was a Marine.
• I think he probably was one. But it is odd that he has to think of his last rank. "Um. I think I was a ... corporal."
• Josh told us that he's not a bully.
• I don't know. He seems to be doing a lot of bullying.
• It's all a huge mess in the house right now.
• While I think Cody has no social game and isn't a good candidate for the show, this is all a bit too much.
• Yes, Paul instigated Josh and the idea. But some people were just kind of "there" -- Kevin, Jason come to mind.
• Alex, Christmas, Raven, Josh ... they didn't have to do this or go this far.
• Paul claims to react to bullying by being the bigger bully. Hmm. Cody's bullying is more of a physical threat fistfight kind of thing. Paul's is an outright war. 
• Even with the war as it was, Cody didn't get physical. 
• Mark thinks that they should stop and think how it all looks to others.
• Words of wisdom from someone who's shown little emotional growth, but he's right.
• But, like I said, it will probably all backfire. They all just bought more time with Jessica and Cody. 

A Raven lunatic?

If not for Cody, Jessica would go far.

Will this all backfire on him?

New duo? Nah.

In circus theme mode again

Meeting of the minds and mindless.

Will he stay or go?

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds into Sunday with a brouhaha! - August 10

Zach's mouth starts it all

Yep, it was another entertaining night on the live feeds! About time, I say! Of course, in real life I don't like drama, kerfuffles and brouhahas (at least not if I'm involved!). But this is Big Brother. I want entertainment. Watching a bunch of guys playing pool or chess is NOT entertainment. Here's the skinny on the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Lies and Betrayals:

• They had gotten over the Frankie thing although he's likely to be targeted once they get down to their inner circle.
• This latest is pretty much all on Zach and his mouth.
• He has told Nicole and others everything that has happened so far, as we know.
• Well, when he told Victoria, he told her that Derrick was in an alliance with Christine.
• She freaked as Derrick is the only person in the house she trusted. 
• Victoria went to Nicole crying and Nicole tried to comfort her.
• Zach went to Derrick, told him that Victoria was freaking out and he told Derrick that NICOLE told Victoria that he (Derrick) has an alliance with Christine.
• It went from a drama-laden kerfuffle to a full-blown BROUHAHA!
• Again, no fisticuffs.
• No thrown chairs, either.
• Sigh.
• Derrick talked to both Victoria and Nicole separately and then together. Nicole said she didn't tell Victoria it and Victoria said it was Zach.
• So Derrick called in Zach.
• Zach admitted that he lied about Nicole telling Victoria about the Christine alliance.
• He got all defensive and started shouting once again that he's disgusting, a liar, they need to vote him out next week.
• Derrick once again did the amazing Derrick people skillz on 'em all, making each one of them thinking they have value in the game and, after all, it's just a game.
• Then Frankie got involved.
• And then ... a new BROUHAHA (well, rehashed one from last night) with Frankie and Zach.
• Again, Derrick did his thing and smoothed all the rough edges.
• Dang. I think I want Derrick on my city's police department. His interrogation skills are truly outstanding and special. In one of my past careers, I was trained for investigations and interrogations and he's doing so much of what I learned in my courses. He does it better than I ever did. Super kudos to him!
• In other news, Christine seems reluctant to put Nicole on the block when Zach uses the veto.
• Yeah, though he says he wants to go home, he'd be a fool not to save himself with the veto he won in Otev.
• I'm thinking she'll probably put either Victoria or Nicole on the block with Donny. She still wants Frankie out, but he and Caleb are safe because of wining the BOB.
• Alas, I think we'll see my guilty pleasure joy Donny leave this week.
• If so, may Derrick win it all.
• He deserves the win. Hands down, one of the best gamers ever in the house in the history of the show.
• I only wish he had teamed up with Nicole, Hayden and Donny instead of Caleb, Frankie and Christine. But, it's worked for him so far.

Derrick calls a meeting of the mindless

Send me home! Just send me home!

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Friday night into Saturday - August 9

All dressed up and nowhere to go

No, Derrick didn't go anywhere. He apparently hosted the BOB comp and got a free suit out of the deal. For a moment I was thinking this would be the future wardrobe for the well-dressed hamster.

If you missed my previous report, we had the first real full-blown brouhaha (sans fisticuffs) of the season. Caleb didn't "throw" the BOB; he literally sat out and refused to play. So, Frankie won it all by himself with Zach and Donny playing on the other side. But ... pre-BOB Frankie realized his goose was cooked in the house. I don't care if he's vegan. His goose was definitely cooked.

What to do? What to do? Time to pull out the "I'm a YouTube star. My sister is a pop star. I'm playing the game to build schools in Africa!" Card! Yep! He claims that the pressure of keeping those secrets in addition to his grandfather's death caused him to suffer some sort of breakdown and lie to everyone about everyone in the house.

Thankfully, some in the house were like me. "Who the hell is Ariana Grande? I never heard of her." Nor had they seen him on YouTube with his over a million followers. But others were smitten right away. Zach freaked. Lots of yelling and the kerfuffle turned into a small brouhaha.

Here's the skinny on what's been going down in that Big Brother House of A Pseudo-Celeb:

• At first Caleb became smitten. Why, he might meet Justin Bieber! Woot! Forget Amber, let me stalk Frankie!
• Victoria is in LOVE with Ariana Grande! She's her FAVORITE!
• Nicole is agog with the idea of being close to a REAL celebrity!
• Donny was congratulatory about it. (But also has no idea who Ariana Grande is.)
• Derrick has heard of her, but claims you never know who the people inside the house are outside the house. And, it shouldn't matter.
• Yep, Sarge ... you got that right!
• Cody has no clue who Ariana Grande is.
• Christine is all giggly over it. I hate her laughs. They make my skin crawl.
• Caleb is crushed that he's not the big celebrity of the season.
• @@
• All feel it's unfair as the America's Player favorite prize is certain to go to Frankie with his followers.
• Zach is super-crushed and subdued. He won't even talk to Frankie, not to even think of a hug. (Everyone else hugged him due to his soul searching confession.)
• Zach sat for nearly an hour with Derrick (and sometimes others passing through) saying, "I have no chance. I'm playing against someone building schools in Africa. None of us have a chance."
• Oh. I forgot to mention -- apparently Christine, Frankie and Caleb won some sort of outing to a pre-season football game thingee. They're excited. I'm not.
• Derrick continued to use his skillz throughout the house, pep-talking some, being Mr. Super Understanding, reminding each person that their own reasons for being in the house are important.
• They're really in a quandary now.
• They think if the veto is used, it will most likely be Victoria or Nicole on the block with either Zach or Donny.
• From the grumblings I'm hearing, it's quite possible if Zach remains on the block, he just might be the next jury member.
• Thankfully, as the night went on, most seemed to refocus on getting Frankie out. They obviously can't do it this week.
• But there's always next week.

Can I meet Justin Bieber? Can I? Can I?

I need an alliance, please.

OMG! OMG! Ariana Grande!?!?!

So, America's Player dreams are shot

I'm competing against schools in Africa?
