Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds, PoV, Saturday July 24


Do you really want to hurt me?
Do you want to make cry?


Oh geez, now I can't watch Rachel without thinking Boy George and humming Culture Club tunes.

The big news of the day is that they did have the POV comp despite it being Andrew's Sabbath. Here's how the day went down in the World of Wacky Wombats ... er, Hamsters:
  • After being awakened by BB, they were immediately on indoor lockdown.
  • They think this season is all about punishment. Enzo thinks it's because of the saboteur theme.
  • Maybe all the punishment is due to them sending the saboteur packing in the first week!
  • They don't KNOW punishment. Punishment is watching them on the live feeds.
  • They still think BB is stacking the deck for Brendon and Rachel.
  • Matt told Enzo that Ragan doesn't want either Brendon or Rachel to go home. According to Matt, leaving them in for now provides good targets.
  • What good is a target if you don't target it? <-- my question for that theory.
  • The Brigade thinks it's smarter to keep Andrew because Kathy will side with Brendon and Rachel.
  • The feeds were blocked for a few hours for the POV comp. From what they said afterward, it was the stay or fold comp redux.
  • Brendon won.
  • That kind of kills the backdoor Brendon plan.
  • They (R/B) know that if a nominee is removed one of them (Rachel, since Brendon won POV) will go up.
  • So the nominations should remain the same.
  • Matt told Andrew that he thinks he probably has enough votes to stay in the house as the only sure bets for Kathy are Brendon and Rachel.
  • He advised him to campaign anyway.
  • Andrew's not a real happy camper. He never wanted to be a pawn.
  • Ragan fussed about being a Have Not.
  • Hey, it could be worse -- he could be like Andrew, a Have Not on the block!
  • Plus, he could have stayed up in the comp instead of throwing it to Matt.
  • Britney told Matt that Kathy is on the outs with Rachel because they haven't talked since Rachel lost power.
  • Well, Kathy has to follow the power!
  • That's pretty much it for now. It looks like yet another dull evening ahead.
  • Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon, you come and go, you come and go ...

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Into Saturday Morning, July 24


This could be interesting, so to speak. There hasn't been anything all that interesting going on in the house since the Saboteur eviction, so I'm talking relative here. I was expecting the PoV comp to be yesterday. It didn't happen. Now, Andrew is on the block and he has already said he won't compete in competitions on his Sabbath -- which is Saturday. I wonder how that's going to go if they have the comp today.

Here's the skinny from that Big Brother House of Lonesome Losers:
  • Enzo told Andrew he didn't deserve to be on the block since he had worked so hard at the HOH comp and did so well.
  • Rachel put peaches in the iced tea and Andrew, who has told her his religious dietary restrictions many times, can't drink it. He thinks she's dense.
  • She is.
  • Kathy thinks she was nominated because she voted for Monet to stay.
  • That's not the reason. Her Brendon/Rachel connection is the reason.
  • They picked players for the PoV. Enzo will host. Rachel, Brendon and Lane will play.
  • Matt, Enzo and Lane thinks the bag for players was rigged, full of Brendon and Rachel. There was no houseguest choice and Matt said they wouldn't let him look in the bag.
  • Hayden and Kristen told Andrew he needs to win POV.
  • They're not necessarily right. If Brendon or Rachel (or Kathy, but that's a joke) win PoV, Kathy will come off and Brendon or Rachel (whichever one didn't win PoV) will go up.
  • Andrew, while in the beginning was a huge target, basically gets along with most of the house, albeit not a loving relationship.
  • Kathy told Lane not to use the veto on her if he wins. Huh? She must mistakenly think Andrew is the target.
  • Lots of small talk about previous seasons and their comps. Britney is definitely knowledgeable about her BB stuff.
  • Britney, Matt and Lane think either BB or America love Brendon and Rachel.
  • Britney doubts it's America.
  • Oh my. Don't tell me I'm going to have to start liking this girl. To be honest, without Monet around to be catty with, she is a lot easier to take.
  • Rachel and Brendon had more undercover maneuvers.
  • Matt told Hayden that Ragan spilled the beans and they need to keep Brendon and Rachel as they'd target Hayden and Kristen if they took power again.
  • So, it's back to "Kathy needs to go" for the good of all.
  • Well, except Kathy maybe.
  • They're all asleep as I get this posted.

Big Brother 12 - Nominations Are In, July 23

As expected, Kathy is on the block with Andrew.

Big Brother 12 - Friday Live Feeds, July 23


Who's this? Oh my, could it be ...? It's Kristen!

My review of last night's show, as well as a special HOH comp live feeds report, are up over on TV Squad. Please check them out!

Here's what's been shakin' in that Big Brother House of Fools:
  • Rachel cried because BB told her she wasn't allowed to get wasted. That gal has some serious drinking issues, methinks. She claims it's her job -- to have fun. @@
  • Brendon and Rachel questioned Matt about his wife's disease and the surgery. He reacted as well as he did in the house meeting. When put on the spot, he's a very poor liar although he lies smoothly when creating the story.
  • Matt has the rubber duckies Will had in the bathtub in the HOH room. We need a puppet show with them!
  • Matt thinks the nerdy niche market for the show will love his on-air ChenBot reference.
  • I guess I resemble that remark. I also liked her reaction. It was so much better than shutting down the one who kept calling her "Jules." Argh, I'm pulling a blank on who did that. But I remember she didn't like it.
  • The ants are all over the kitchen once again.
  • Rachel thinks there must be an "I hate Rachel" club. Why do they hate her? Because she has red hair!
  • I have red hair.
  • Mine is real.
  • Rachel got drunk even though BB told her she couldn't get wasted. Brendon can't drink because he's a Have Not (along with Enzo, Andrew and Ragan).
  • Brendon went to bed. Rachel stayed at the hot tub drinking.
  • She told Julie that Brendon is more important than the money.
  • He doesn't seem more important than alcohol, though.
  • Britney tried to convince the others that Hayden and Kristen are really twins, as in brother and sister.
  • That would be just too kinky in view of the showmance, but it's something blog commenter F.A. (formerly anon) came up with days ago.
  • Matt wants to put up Andrew and Kathy, backdooring Brendon when the POV is used. That, of course, makes the assumption that one of them (or the nominees) will win the POV.
  • The Brigade wants Rachel and Brendon out.
  • Enzo thinks Monet was a nice girl.
  • He didn't see the show edits and the diary room sessions, did he?
  • Andrew was upset he didn't win HOH because he really wanted to see a picture of his daughter.
  • While Enzo likes Monet, he spent a lot of time trashing Kathy.
  • Not to her face, of course.
  • Hayden and Kristen even have a birthmark in common.
  • Matt doesn't want to tell the others that he made a deal with Rachel and Brendon that he wouldn't nominated them, but if the POV is used, one will go on the block. Ragan is the only other one who knows that.
  • When Matt told Rachel and Brendon, he also told them he wouldn't encourage anyone to use the veto.
  • Matt told Rachel he might throw the POV comp so he's not put in a position to use the POV.
  • Rachel is worried that she and Brendon won't get chosen to play for POV and one of them will end up on the block. Heh.
  • Matt told Andrew he wants to put him on the block as a pawn with Kathy as the target.
  • Not surprisingly, Andrew questioned why the two main targets weren't going up.
  • He accepted the backdoor bit, but seemed to be a bit concerned nonetheless.
  • America voted for baby food and bok choy. At least it's a tad healthy.

Big Brother 12 - HOH Endurance Comp Coverage

6:50 AM ET update -- They're all still up, check out the skull and crossbones in Matt's HOH room. More details early this evening (Fri.)


Matt is wearing the HOH key and just told Rachel that Ragan didn't drop, he fell.

Feeds came back at 11:38 PM ET - No confirmation, but it sounds like Matt got it.



11:25 PM - We've had bubbles (blocked feeds) for about 20 minutes. I assume it's all over and went as planned with Matt getting HOH. They're probably letting them unwind and feeding them. I will post the winner when I know for certain. But Matt due to the talk between Matt and Ragan would be my prediction.

11:00 PM ET - Both still up, but the Matt/Ragan deal is in action. Ragan should be dropping before long.

10:36 PM - Ragan plans to drop in 15 to 20 minutes. The deal is that Andrew (pawn) goes up with Kathy (target). No deal on POV replacement for Rachel and Brendon, just that they're not nominated now. Nominations need to remain the same or one will go up.

They sent the others inside and Matt and Ragan talk about who they'd put up. Matt wants Kathy out no matter what, maybe Brendon or Rachel with her. Ragan cares what Rachel thinks of him. Matt suggests Kathy and Andrew. It's Ragan talking about dropping.


Now they want to tell Andrew he's a pawn and make a deal with Rachel and Brendon that they'll be safe -- Kathy go home (because she's the third).


10:27 PM ET - Andrew slipped. Now only Ragan and Matt still up.

10:15 PM ET - Still Ragan, Andrew and Matt up



Then there were three -- an unlikely three -- Andrew, Ragan and Matt still up


9:44 PM ET - WHOA! Brendon's down with his size 13s


9:39 PM ET - Enzo slipped and is out.

9:35 PM ET - Brendon, Enzo, Ragan, Andrew and Matt still up





9:15 PM ET -- Feeds back, Britney goes down -- Hayden and Kathy out

9:13 PM ET - Trivia, then bubbles



9:09 PM ET - Kristen out


Right now the feeds are still blocked. Once they come back up, this post will be updated with screen caps and the events.

9:07 PM ET - Feeds up, looks like they're all still on -- Lane just went down

Big Brother 12 - Episode 7 - Live Eviction Blog Party

big brother,jackiestvblog

The show is about to start here on the East Coast. As the show airs here, I'll update this post with the major events. Later on, I'll be writing up my full review of the show for TV Squad. This looks like it's going to be an endurance HOH comp. If so, after the show ends here in the NYC, I'll pick up the live feeds and I'll endure along with them.

Hamsters ready?

The vote:
Andrew --> Monet
Enzo --> Monet
Britney --> Matt
Commercial break.
Kathy --> Matt
Hayden --> Monet
Kristen --> Monet
Ragan --> Monet
Brendon --> Monet
Lane --> Monet

Buh-bye, Monet.

Before commercial break, the hamsters on surfboards in the yard.

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Into Thursday Morning, July 22


There IS a Kristen in the house!

Today the hamsters will be cleaning house in anticipation of the live show. What they don't ever realize every season is that they're constantly in a live show on the feeds and their messes show! Here's what happened overnight:
  • Monet cried to Kathy that she doesn't understand why they'd keep Matt over her.
  • Maybe they like him more, I say.
  • Kathy told Monet she has no idea what's going on with the others.
  • She probably doesn't. Kathy is no shrewd cop on the beat in the house. She's friendly with all, but no one confides in her. We're talking pure floater.
  • They remain on indoor lockdown. Kathy is so wanting a cigarette!
  • Rachel told Ragan that she thinks if Matt wins HOH, he'd put her and Brendon on the block. Ragan doesn't think so, but commits to nothing on the point.
  • Rachel feels sorry for crying Monet, but doesn't think she tried too hard to win the PoV.
  • Monet and Britney worked for Lane's vote, telling him they had Andrew and Kathy.
  • Andrew doesn't care for Matt, but doesn't want his name thrown in as a vote to keep Monet, either. He wants to go with the flow in the house.
  • Britney says that Kristen and Hayden have a showmance going.
  • You don't say ...!
  • Britney also thinks if Kristen wins HOH, she's (Britney) history.
  • Kathy is hedging on her vote to evict Monet. After Monet cried to her, Kathy told Brendon and Rachel that she finds some of the things Matt said the night before disturbing.
  • Matt was way drunk that night. Way to go, genius! A real genius would NEVER get drunk in the house.
  • Kathy decided she would vote for Matt to go as a warning, but that the vote on the whole in the house will be for Monet to go.
  • Kristen told Andrew that, despite Matt's behavior the night before, if he were to win HOH, his targets would be Brendon and Rachel.
  • The overall house sentiment is still a Monet ouster. Britney should be interesting without her BFF.
  • The showmance couples split off and did their showmance stuff.
  • Ragan talked to Lane. Lane told him the first time Annie talked to him was after she was nominated and he only went to console her because she was upset.
  • They're all asleep as I post this.
  • My review of last night's show is up on TV Squad!

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Into Wednesday Evening, July 21


Boy George in his Culture Club days


Rachel

Yes! Yes! I've been trying to think of who it is that Rachel reminds me of -- it's BOY GEORGE! Well, not the implants, of course. Thanks to the anonymous commenter who made the comparison on an earlier live feeds report. Now I can sleep at night.

I don't really have much to report, but here goes nothing (and I mean nothing!) --
  • They've been on indoor lockdown most of the day. At one point we had a flash of the backyards on the feeds. There's metal framing out there.
  • Ragan's probably right -- it's probably going to be an endurance comp. If so, I'll stay with it here after the show.
  • Monet and Britney continued to campaign for votes to keep Monet in the house.
  • At least, if Monet goes, I'll stop mistyping her name as "Money." I end up fixing that all the time.
  • Matt and Andrew talked -- both said they're not after each other despite talk in the house.
  • More showmance undercover escapades.
  • Tons of non-game related small talk about previous seasons and other reality shows.
  • I still predict a Monet ouster.
  • The camera man tonight has a fixation with close-ups. Can you spot Kristen?



Big Brother 12 - Episode 6 - POV Show - Blog Party Post

big brother,jackiestvblog

The show is about to start here on the East Coast. Everyone is welcome to join in down in the comments area. The more, the merrier! Late tonight, my full review of the show should be up on TV Squad and this post will be updated to reflect major events as it airs.

Britney wins POV!

Britney saved herself and Matt (who volunteered) went on the block in her place as a pawn.

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds, Daytime Wednesday, July 21


HOH camera time

Ho-hum, another day in that Big Brother House of Boozing Bores ...
  • Brendon and Rachel were the first ones up today. Rachel did her hour in the stocks while Brendon catered to her and exercised.
  • Afterward, Brendon and Rachel were having sex play under the covers when Kathy walked in.
  • Kathy has a habit of doing that and seems oblivious to it all.
  • I forgot to mention that last night Hayden told Kristen that he thinks America probably hates Brendon and Rachel.
  • From the mouths of babes ...
  • I don't actually HATE Brendon and Rachel, not even just Rachel. Her jumping on Brendon right off and party gal ways don't mesh well with me.
  • Maybe I'm just a prude!
  • Maybe I'm jealous.
  • Yeah, right. At least I've had real red hair all my life!
  • Ragan thinks the HOH comp will be endurance. He could very well be right. The first endurance comp is usually two to three weeks in if memory serves.
  • Lots and lots of small talk, non-game related.
  • The camera, Rachel's blog entry, and the tweet are today.
  • Although Monet's been campaigning hard and Rachel has indicated she's thinking of keeping her, I think the votes will be for her to go.
  • Stop back in a bit for the blog party as the show airs on the East Coast!
  • Bring snacks, please.



Brendon tries to look 'hood in his mandana.

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Into Wednesday, July 21


He's not drunk, he's just Enzo.

I realize I didn't want a weird twist this summer. But, without a twist, this group is way too dull. Now, had they had actual diversity in the casting -- ages, races, etc. -- the house would have more action. This group, despite the cattiness and little quibbles, gets along way too well.

Here are the events since my last report:
  • There was a banner plane! Unfortunately it was some kind of advertising, nothing to do with the house. I saw a banner plane in NJ and thought of them.
  • Monet continues to campaign.
  • Kristen told Britney she and Monet had to stop saying they had her vote.
  • Britney denied saying that.
  • I haven't seen anyone other than Britney outright say Monet had their vote to stay.
  • Kathy, accused of starting the rumor about the vote, got them together to confront Britney.
  • Rachel admitted to Britney that her goal is to have Monet evicted -- they don't need Britney making more drama and Monet has the ten grand she won, so she won't go empty-handed.
  • Matt, in his continued odd strategy, insisted to Ragan that the HoH group wants to flip the vote (and send him home).
  • Monet got all upset over the Kristen vote kerfuffle and started crying.
  • Monet said that Rachel told her she was targeted because she didn't even bother talking to her for 13 days.
  • I don't know. It's kind of hard to talk to Rachel when she's doing the hanky-panky with Brendon a good part of each day!
  • Then Britney thought she was being attacked, so she cried.
  • Enzo told them there's no crying in Big Brother.
  • Gee, I thought he knew the show. I guess not!
  • After saying that Kathy screamed at her, Britney cried to Kathy that Rachel never liked her.
  • @@
  • Britney cried some more.
  • Brendon and Rachel went over the pros and cons of keeping Matt or Monet.
  • Rachel told Ragan (Matt's new bestest info-buddy) that she thinks Matt is this season's Ronnie playing both sides of the house.
  • She's right, but Ragan doesn't think so.
  • Matt told Rachel he thinks she's gone on a power trip with the HOH win and that she's strong-arming people.
  • Monet accused Matt of volunteering to go on the block only to save Andrew.
  • Matt denied being in any alliances in the house.
  • If the Brigade could have looked up in the air and whistled, they would have done so.
  • The Brigade remains a secret alliance, not even Kristen knows.
  • Monet told them that they're after her for the ten thousand, but it's Matt they should worry about because he's fooling them all.
  • Britney told Matt that she feels like she's in the middle and likes him.
  • Britney told Ragan that she likes Matt, hates confrontation and was led to believe Matt was starting drama about her.
  • The Brigade confirmed they would keep Matt and are pleased that they're still a secret.
  • Britney doesn't like it when her name is tarnished. Maybe she shouldn't be so catty about others? Then she wouldn't be in the middle of drama as much.
  • Those are my thoughts, of course. Britney doesn't think she herself could ever be catty.
  • Rachel told Matt he'd have to secure Brendon't vote.
  • Rachel cried.
  • She told Matt that she just wanted to get to the jury house ... with Brendon.
  • Rachel and Brendon think Enzo is the least of their worries. No one seems to worry much about Enzo.
  • That's a good thing for Enzo, eh?
  • Rachel told Brendon that she'd kind of like to see Monet and Britney play next week and they probably wouldn't target either of them.
  • Yeah, right.
  • BB gave them alcohol, only for the Haves.
  • Matt drank a bottle of wine all by himself and staggered a lot.
  • Kristen also got drunk.
  • Not as drunk as Matt, though.
  • Then it was time for the showmances to get some undercover action in.
  • They're all asleep as I post this. I believe the vote will still be to evict Monet despite the Brendon/Rachel hedging right now.

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Tuesday Daytime, July 20


ATTENTION: Allison Grodner -- You need to do SOMETHING to liven this season up! You picked a cast for which there is no controversy other than cattiness. Your most "dangerous" character is Enzo and that's all persona rather than anything else. We always complain that it's boring in the beginning of the season, but this year we mean it. Showmances are nothing. We have computers. If we wanted to watch porn online, we could. We're here for Big Brother. Your big saboteur idea was blown to dust after one week. Have you nothing else planned?

/rant

Another day of virtually nothing on the feeds. Here's the scoop (or lack thereof):
  • Matt's using Ragan for information.
  • Lane is using Britney for information.
  • Brendon and Rachel are using each other for sex toys.
  • Brendon thinks that Enzo has no alliances except perhaps with Britney.
  • He's wrong.
  • Brendon, Kathy and Rachel think Matt's a liar and playing both sides of the house.
  • He is, but he's not as annoying as some in the past.
  • Matt is reminding me of Ray Romano at times. He shouldn't -- wrong accent and all. Yet it happens.
  • Not everyone loved Raymond. Not everyone loves Matt.
  • Monet tried to make nicey-nice with Kathy.
  • Later Kathy, Brendon, and Rachel talked about how lazy and dependent on her parents Monet is. She has no job, lives off her parents, etc., etc.
  • Hayden told Monet that he heard Rachel was thinking of backdooring Matt.
  • Ain't gonna happen. Monet's the target although they don't care much for Matt, either.
  • Matt has the Brigade behind him and, for some reason, no one is seeing that Boy Alliance Band.
  • That's all she wrote. Meow.



I feel like Kathy's expression.

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Into Tuesday Dawn, July 20


Monet and Rachel take stock in their living situation. Heehee. Apparently something in the recent comp (blocked to the live feeds) has the hamsters doing the stocks daily, some up to four days.

Here are the happenings from that Big Brother House Which NEEDS To Come to Life:
  • They complained that they're bored. Well, now. That's a big surprise!
  • Brendon still wants to cook for the others even though he's a Have Not.
  • Some played pool, others played word games.
  • Hayden and Kristen were off camera a lot. I wonder what games they were playing?
  • Monet and Britney got all catty again. They talked of Britney looking like a hoochie with her double chin, stealing Kathy's cigarettes. Hoochie Mama!
  • Brendon and Rachel, who have had tiffs, plan to stretch their last fight to lessen the target on them.
  • Britney fussed about how little they're earning on the show.
  • My heart goes out to her. Or not.
  • As in past seasons, a spider has been adopted by some (not all) of the hamsters.
  • Brendon and Rachel made out ... again.
  • Enzo created a slop dish which he calls pastina. Lane gave it a try and declared it good.
  • Many have noticed that Kathy is definitely just following the power in the house. This week she's Rachel's buddy, last week not so much.
  • Kristen and Hayden have been discovered by the camera ... in bed. Who woulda thunk it?
  • Ragan likes Matt as a pal. But now others are telling him how Matt's playing both sides of the house. Ragan wants to be friends with who he wants to be friends with and that's that!
  • Ragan thinks Brendon is a snake and Kathy is a floater, especially after she told him she wasn't trying to win.
  • Matt says he wanted to be nominated to avoid being bullied by Rachel and Brendon, plus sparing the decision of who to vote for this week.
  • Yeah, right. I'm sure he has his motives, but volunteering to go on the block is a pretty drastic step!
  • Ragan, a floater himself, thinks that Kathy needs to go or she'll float her way to the win.
  • Matt thinks Brendon and Rachel need to be split up.
  • Well, duh. They had their chance and blew it.
  • Hayden and Kristen want Britney nominated.
  • So do I.
  • Hayden and Kristen did a lot of undercover actions. They must be on a mission, eh?
  • All are asleep as I get this posted.

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds - PoV Meeting - Into Monday Evening, July 19

I could have posted this morning. But how much can I say ... about this?


Sigh. At least something happened today instead of showmance lust and small talk. They had the PoV meeting. Britney saved herself and Matt (who volunteered) went up in her place. What else happened in Happy Hamsterland?
  • Hayden and Kristen are getting almost as bad as Rachel and Brendon.
  • But ... shhh ... it's a secret.
  • Britney said that Rachel says there are enough votes to keep Matt in the house.
  • Matt says he's worried. (Then why the heck did he even throw his name in there? Rachel hadn't even been considering him before that!)
  • Matt told Monet he will campaign to stay but won't slander her.
  • Monet and Britney had another catty session. This time they even trashed the pores on Rachel's legs.
  • Can you say meow?
  • After a solid session of trashing all, but mainly Rachel, Monet went off to go cry alone.
  • I don't feel sorry for her.
  • Lane told Monet that Enzo's been sneaking cheese. No, not a sneaking cheese, although that description might fit! He told Monet she should try cheese if she's hungry.
  • Matt and Ragan are buddies, but not a bromance.




If you'd like to give it a read, my review of last night's show is up on TV Squad.

Big Brother 12 - Sunday's Live Feeds, July 18


Laying his finger upside his nose ...

This is horrible. No, not Andrew in particular. I'm talking the activity or lack there of on the feeds today.
  • No PoV meeting today, expect it tomorrow.
  • No NOTHING today.
  • They're bored, I'm bored.
  • Still no definitive replacement for when Britney saves herself from the block. It's looking like Andrew will go up with Monet being the target.
  • Monet mingled with the others more today. She isn't as bad when she's away from Britney.
  • Rachel and Brendon made out in the Have Not room
  • They played pool.
  • They talked about small stuff.
  • They talked golf.
  • Andrew gave a talk on the Ten Commandments.
  • Britney sneered at and shunned her fish sticks.
  • There are probably starving children in China who would love fish sticks!
  • I really have nothing here.
  • Something needs to happen.
  • Most boring day ever on the live feeds.
  • Woe is me.


What the heck is with the boots? Sheesh.


For a bean bag toss

Big Brother 12 - Episode 5 - Nominations Blog Party

big brother,jackiestvblog

The show is actually starting on time here on the East Coast once again! As it airs, I'll post important updates in this entry. But the real fun is in the comments section. Everyone is invited to join in with your thoughts! Later tonight (or, worst case scenario, early in the morning), my full show review will be posted over on TV Squad.

Enzo, Britney, Monet, and Brendon are the new Have Nots -- they have fish sticks and fruitcake. Annie was revealed as the saboteur.

Britney and Monet are on the block ... but we knew that.

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Into Sunday Morning, July 18


This is how I feel, too.

My apologies for the long gap. I had to sleep in this morning, kind of like the hamsters. Without further ado, here's what's happened in that Big Brother House of Odd Bedfellows:
  • Yet again this year, the house has an ant problem. I guess I'm lucky I've never had an ant problem -- I'd probably freak out worse than Kathy with the bug spray!
  • Rachel got irked by her love bunny Brendon as he told Andrew that she was going to put him on the block as a pawn against Monet.
  • Rachel cried. Again. As I said, way too sensitive for the game. She needs to be ruthless or she'll just end up being a boob ... or a pair of 'em.
  • Andrew went back up to Rachel, telling her he'd be willing to do it but is very worried he'd go home.
  • He should worry. They need to put up someone less likely to get eviction votes.
  • Rachel cried more after he left.
  • Brendon told Rachel that she's his queen and knows more about the game than he does, he'll do whatever he wants. Oh, gag me right this moment, please!
  • Matt and Lane think that Enzo might talk too much to both Monet and Britney. They called him a loose cannon.
  • I say "loose lips sink ships." But I wasn't the first one to say that.
  • Matt volunteered to go on the block.
  • Say what? And he's a MENSA member? Rescind that application!
  • Kristen noted that none of the girls want the girls around in the house. Alas, that's often the case. Although I do didn't like her on the show, that's what Maggie did right some seasons back -- she had a girl alliance going.
  • Britney can't wait to go into Wal-Mart back in Arkansas as a celebrity. @@
  • Rachel and Ragan think that Matt is working both sides.
  • They're right.
  • There are stocks (like the old time public punishment without flogging) in the yard. For four days, some have to be in them, others for just a day. It must have to do with the POV comp.
  • Weird and kind of kinky, I say!
  • Brendon and Rachel had a minor spat. She thinks he's being a baby about a lot things.
  • At least he doesn't cry over and over again in the HOH room.
  • Enzo says he doesn't want to evict Monet, but if she's up against Matt, he must keep Matt.
  • Rachel told Brendon she won't put Andrew on the block (his choice) and they continue to tiff. Brendon tells her he's (Brendon, not Andrew) sensitive.
  • He's sensitive, she's sensitive. ACK! Why are they in the house? I like a good brouhaha, but I hate whining and sniffling on the feeds!
  • Oh, she HURT him. @@
  • So he ends up crying and sniveling. Oh geez.
  • Rachel told Brendon her own crazy idea for the replacement is Enzo. But then she retracted and told him she was kidding. Hmmm ...
  • Brendon told Rachel he would go home for her and told her to put him (Brendon) on the block. She said that wasn't an option she'd consider.
  • Brendon thinks Enzo, Matt and Lane are in an alliance. Rachel doesn't think so.
  • I think Enzo's getting a bit worried about the Brigade. He complained they can't get alone together to talk.
  • The other showmance couple, Hayden and Kristen, smooched in bed.
  • Kathy thinks Enzo's treating her differently since the Britney/Monet noms. She also pondered if Britney may have deliberately kicked her in the head in the Have/Have Not comp.
  • Hayden and Kristen kissed some more ... and more and more. They think Andrew's the only one who knows about them.
  • They're wrong. We all know.
  • Rachel tried to figure the votes if Andrew is put up. She definitely wants Monet to go.
  • Right now, she could go with either the volunteer Matt or Andrew. I think putting Matt up would ensure Monet goes. But it would be far wiser of them strategically to get rid of Matt.
  • But when do they let strategy get in their way?
