Big Brother 12 Aug. 14 HoH/Nominations Show Blog Party
The show is delayed here on the East Coast, but I setting this up to post at 8 PM ET. I'm feeling quite sick tonight and won't be able to update the post as the show airs. I ask all to update in the comments section!
Hope you feel better soon Jackie... wish I was close enough to bring you some chicken soup or something good you'd like. Thanks for taking the time to set up the blog for us!
Hey everyone. Just checking back in before the show starts. I made bacon wrapped pigs in a blanket in Adam's honor. There's also an iced down tub of beer by the bar. I'll be back when 60 Minutes goes off. Damn Golf!
We'll try to keep the noise level down, Jackie, so you can rest and relax a bit. Hope the doctor says things are on the right path tomorrow. I'm still cringing at the thought of your knee bending backwards.
Slipping quietly back in the pool. Jackie, take care and we'll clean up after ourselves.
Ready to get this show started. Joe, I think Jeff and Adam have talked. Not sure about Brendon and Adam? I haven't had the feeds on much from traveling.
Unforgetable, Person of Interest, Homeland... all these shows and more sound like they are really going to be good... what can I do with so many other favorites already being watched.
Thanks Monty, I still think their best move is talking Adam into NOT using the veto. Takes the power out of Dani's hands. They'll have to sacrifice Shelly to do it, but does anyone besides Jordan trust her?
Jackie - Feel better and sit back and relax. I can't help with the show because it won't be on here for a couple more hours... BUT I brought some cold ones in case someone cries.
Fort Worth... gah! They missed breaking the consecutive days over 100 on Thursday and then it was right back up over 100 on Friday. I believe everything's bigger in Texas now. Especially the temperature. :)
I still thank Dani made a huge mistake moving against Jeff early, but she's kind of played a good game since then (some by accident, some on purpose). I think she can come out of this week in better shape than she's been ever since the move against Jeff. At some point, though, she needs to lose the arrogance and decide to work with pieces of the vets. Too hard to try and take her threesome far, especially with one as useless as Porsche.
Hey Monty, hey Becky, Hey Ork, hey RJM, hey Donna...and all the Anons....and of course, Hey BF Joe. xxoxox I just dont feel very well tonight, muffin. I need tlc.
JimmyB, they were supposed to post it online later. They ran late Thursday and didn't get to it. The best exit interview in about 8 seasons and they didn't get to do it on the show...figures.
Updates: Dani and Kalia are very unhappy that R & B are back together. Kalia feels that her whole HOH was wasted. Rachel's spinning the events of the last week in her "they were all so mean to me" way for Brendon. And the whole situation is motivation for Dani to win HOH.
Jackie, sorry you're under the weather, and this weather is NOT good to be under! (I live about 40 minutes from you. If you need anything, drop me an email.)
I never changed my stance on Dani. I said her move against Jeff was stupid and it still is. She wouldn't be hanging by a thread if she had stayed with the vets. What I said is that she has played it smart this week by NOT targetting Brenchel and going after Shelly.
Frankly, Dani was sitting sweet with the vets and the golden key but she insisted on trying to go big too early and she got Dom evicted (her closest ally) and managed to get Lawon evicted. But eliminating Shelly and making deals with the vets might help her now.
Don't get me wrong, she's still hanging by a thread because of her own stupidity. But she's had a good week so far. Of course if she tries to backdoor Brendon and fails, she could still turn this into a bad week.
Becky, did you see my reply? We were in Fort Worth from Monday until yesterday. I love, love, loved the Stockyards. Can't wait to go back, but I'll never go in August again. Whew!
anon 9:26 I'm with you on Jeff. I mean he's okay, but I don't know why he's America's sweetheart. To me he's just a slightly less creepy Brendon. If Brendon called himself "Big B", the people on this board would be ridiculing him incessantly.
More updates: The HOH competition is Count on America, based on the home states of houseguests. Each answer is a number, with the person guessing furthest from the correct number eliminated.
New Orleans (Shelly) Mardi Gras necklaces: Rachel is out.
Chicago (Jeff) deep-dish pizza pepperoni: Jordan is out.
Miami (Porshe) olives in a martini glass: Brendon is out.
Las Vegas (Rachel) playing cards: Jeff is out.
New Jersey (Adam) baseballs in two gloves: Shelly is out.
Morth Carolina (Jordan) rivets on a propellor: Adam is out.
California (Danielle, Brendon and Kaia) gold coins in tank: Porsche is out.
See, Dani just pulled a Rachel. She really sucks this season. She was somewhat likeable on her Dad's season. But she's as bad a winner/loser as Rachel.
I would love to see an epic battle between Porsche and Jordan. I think Porsche might actually be the dumbest reality contestant in history.
Dani really can't count, can she? She's got a weak group of 3 against a group of 6. It is too hard to try and run the house from this point with only 3. You have to win everything. She should have learned something from Janelle's season. Fierce as Janelle was, she couldn't win everything and her solid 3 just got crushed by a bunch of floaters.
Ugh, Joe. The painful reminder of Season 6. It was probably my favorite season. The house was so divided, and I absolutely hated the 'friendship' alliance. Gag!!
I don't want to use the word 'rigged', but I've always been a little skeptical of this type of comp, counting game (guessing/estimating numbers or quantities) How does anyone really know what the correct answer is?
My Father always told me to believe none of what I hear and half of what I see (a little drastic I'll admit) but that may very well fit this type of comp. The 'correct' answer could be skewed to match a particular contestants answer.
I'm sure there is plenty of suggesting, counseling, and even manipulating going on by the producers, and I'll continue to give BB the benefit of the doubt, so I'm not saying anything's rigged. Just sayin'........
Ed
PS; I'm not really against Dani or anything it just seems a little suspicious.
Petals & Monty, I know y'all feel that way about Jeff and Brendon. I just don't think there's that big a difference between them. Jeff is better looking and Brendon is slightly creepy, but beyond that they aren't that different. Jeff has his little tantrums as does Brendon. J has his little condescensions to Jordan, B "manages" Rachel. Jeff is "Big Jeff" and Brendon overcelebrates his victories. I really don't see them as that different.
Shelly had been playing a good game but she totally self-destructed this week. She should have played like Rachel last week, shut up and rely on the kindness of strangers. Her confrontations just made her untrustworthy to everyone.
Shelly didn't really have "a deal" with Rachelle and Brendon. She asked if they would take her to final three, and R said yes. That's not a deal, as R just proved.
Please stop accusing Shelly of hiding a penis. Keep in mind that she has probably never in her life been "the cute one". She has probably never been able to get along on prettiness. Instead she has developed other attractive qualities, like caring for and about others, helpfulness, strength of body and character, and social intelligence. Sure, she could have cultivated that stupid little-girl high voice, demureness of movement, the dependency that so many consider the definition of femininity, she could have had surgery to enlarge her bust and butt and reshape her nose and mouth, but on Shelly (on anyone) it would have been fake fake fake. I suspect even that would not satisfy some of you.
I suppose those of you who want to tear her down are all pretty, shapely, graceful, and demure. But your comments are ugly. There's more than one definition of grace. Please stop.
Joe - I get that Jeff & Brendan are both guys with moods, tantrums, etc...
But! Brendan is a very backwards, very anal, very icky, smarmy, blech. He is a mal-adjusted social misfit, so eveything he says comes out skeevy.
Jeff is the opposite: charming, funny, cool, comfortable-in-his-own-skin, confident, sociable, witty. So even when he throws a mood on someone, he does it in a way that doesnt draw hatred or skeeve.
@Silk They all lie and cheat all the time. I really don't know why anyone bothers to make a deal and actually consider it a deal. You trust who you trust and that's it. All this wheeling and dealing with the enemy isn't worth the breath it takes. They all know they hate each other.
Shelly screwed up and she knows it. I don't think we'll see her working with Rachel in the least when Brendon's butt is out the door. Still fingers crossed here that his behind goes right back out. Rachel is a dumb ass. She got her buki back and she totally flipped on Shelly, when she should have been counting her numbers. She did most of this after Shelly was nominated and the veto didn't protect her or Brendon, but still the same. She is a dumb ass. Pure and simple. She plays better when her MAN isn't around.
I actually think Shelly was probably pretty hot when younger. I still think she's attractive (sorry, Petals). She has a smoker's voice but I don't think she lacks physical grace.
Joe, sweetie, you are absolutely entitled to your opinion. xoxox. In fact, I think the only person you & I agree on is Janelle. You just love to get under my skin, hehe.
Dani is sending a clear message to the backstabbing floaters as well as Brenchal...
LOL Shelly! Do you seriously believe your own lies? Weren't you just holding hands, skipping and hopping in a drum circle with everyone when Brendon came back?
Petals, lol... you and Joe are like me and mine. He loves to get my goat whenever he can. He actually rooted for "pigpen" Natalie. Can you believe that? lol
Nominees: Adam and Shelly. Dani mentions being right back where we were two weeks ago. "I need to make sure that at the end of this week, what I need to have happen, happens."
Petals, it can't be just Janelle. What about Will and Boogie? We must have hated some of the same people. After all, I hate most of them most of the time! LOL
Janelle is my favorite of all time on BB. Oddly, I almost think ED was my 2nd favorite if only because he played it his own way when everyone else is trying to play like some combination of earlier players.
Sorry Petals - just saw your question. Yes, Rachel calls Brendon 'Buki'. They got into an argument earlier this season because she called him that publicly and not in private in the house. I agree, ick!
See you all on Wednesday if not before. Good night and I'm taking my part of the mess with me.
Rest well Jackie and thank you for opening up the pool for us tonight. Hugs!
"I need to make sure that at the end of this week, what I need to have happen, happens." If I were Brendon, I'd hear that loud and clear. But, uh, she doesn't have the numbers even if she backdoors him. Right?
I wouldn't use the word 'cheat' maybe 'control' would be a better description.
We're a long way from the 50's and there are a lot of legal minds out there who know how to get around things. It may be all in the wording like someone once said "depends what is...is"
@Silk Dani can't control who goes home. If she backdoors Brendon she has to KNOW that they will vote that way. It's really up to J/J. Adam will go along if they go after Shelly.
I was only pointing out that there is independent oversight of all shows with prize money. I think they can at least try and control based on how they ask questions in the diary room, etc. But they couldn't lie about the number of olives in the drink because if caught they'd face federal charges.
Dani MUST suck at math. She doesn't have the votes. @@ I assume that Adam, Jeff, Jordon and Rachel would vote to keep Brendon. With Kalia and Porsche voting to keep Shelly. Although, Adam could vote to keep Shelly thus causing Dani to be the tiebreaker. And does she really want THAT blood on her hands?
@anon. I'm really not sure how they'd vote. Seems like Shelly's a goner but Jordan seems to like Shelly and if she could convince Jeff then they might be able to oust either B/R. It's kind of up to J/J with Adam probably going along with them ASSUMING that she nominates B/R. She could try to use Jordan as a pawn again knowing Shelly will go home and she's "safe" with the couples for a week.
Dani has been talking like she's putting up Brendan. She was very clear about that while talking to Shelly last night, and saying Shelly shouldn't worry because she's safe (while talking to Shelly when she was in Solitary).
However, that doesn't mean Dani won't change her mind. J&J are leaning towards keeping Brendan and they've talked to Adam about it.
I'm sure Adam will use the POV to take himself off the block. I don't think Dani will change her mind and put up J or J yet. It's no secret that she doesn't like B&R and really wants them gone.
Anonymous said... Who says she's putting up Brendon. Suppose she puts up Jeff or Rachel. They have a better chance of going.
8/14/2011 10:12 PM
***********************************
Does it matter who Dani nominates between J&J / B&R? The 3 non-nominees plus Adam = a majority. @@ And now that NONE of them trust Shelly anymore. Buh-bye. Dani and Kalia back-to-back weeks of getting less than nothing accomplished. Cheers.
This game really seems unfair to me... They should have never let Lawon Volunteer. That whole vote a new person in, was also messed up. Allowing vets to play with people they already played with.
I may be just be expressing sour grapes:) But for some reason it seems like the stack was WAAAAY against the newbies from day 1.
I have to agree with those who think the challenges are rigged. It seems the HOH challenge is always geared towards the person that needs to be the HOH. Kalia with the question challenge and Dani with the endurance and another trivia like challenge. And the player picked for the POV challeges are always those that would inpact the nominations. Just saying.....
I hope you are feeling better today Jackie. I don't think I've ever enjoyed an HOH comp as much as I did the one last night. It was priceless watching the alliance of 6 drop one by one. I'm so glad Shelly is on the block. She was getting way too cocky and needed a good shaking up. She sure cracks under pressure doesn't she. I would not be sorry to see her go. If I were Dani I would tell Brendon I was putting him in as the replacement nominee just to make it look like she wanted backdoor him, but since he's in an alliance with J/J Rachel and Adam, he will be safe anyway. I think it helps her either way whether Shelly or Brendon leave.
I don't think the challenges are as rigged as the actual set up of the game itself.
If you are going to have people playing as couples from day one not knowing anything about each other, would put the couples that know each other at a disntinct advantage over those that just met.
I am not sure, but I think that once Brendan was ousted out of the house they added that twist. I really think the twist was going to be based on who exited the house that day.
I may be just be expressing sour grapes:) But for some reason it seems like the stack was WAAAAY against the newbies from day 1.
8/15/2011 9:39 AM
********************************** Newbies had an ample opportunity, two voted out Keith,
The last HOH challenge one could argue it was designed for Brendan, however it's obvious it was pure luck, considering Porsche almost won. I however believe Dick's leaving was planned from the get go.
I think the ONLY reason Brenden was voted in by America is that we all thought Rachel was going home, that way one would be out. Lawon made the biggest (stupid) move in the game!
**Pool Update** We said Buh Bye to Lawon (idiot) and hello once again to Brendon.
Adam - Auntie Leigh, Ayana, ML Brendon - SueGee, Sally, Chris Daniele - Terry in PA, EileenM, Jennasmom Jeff - Petals, Donna in AL, Delee Jordan - Sydney, Meb, Brent McKee Kalia - Nana in NW, Monty924, Laurie Porsche - Ninboh, Donna in FL, Sharon S Rachel - Jamie, Margo, ChaCha Shelly - Sasha, Paris Hilton, Janice
Jackie, I hope you are feeling better!! :::hugs:::
Witt :)
P.S. Re: game skewed/stacked one way: This is my opinion... The setup (newbies vs. vets with the vets knowing each other) gave them an advantage, but EVERY player always has the chance to win HOH (exception: outgoing HOH). The newbies banded together on Day One, and how long did that last? Not even to the first eviction!!!
The vets are always pulling the HOH out (with exception of Kalia). The POV comps are by random draw, so no advantage there. If by random draw your "team" is heavier on the deck, oh well... I knew Brendon would be going back in. He's just too fit and too competitive to have lost against Lawon.
Please stop accusing Shelly of hiding a penis. Keep in mind that she has probably never in her life been "the cute one". -------- Thank you. A persons appearance isn't everything. It does sadden me that looks still seem to be the most important feature in place of ones character. I think Kaila was also called a name because of her weight. Oh well.
I for one wish they would get rid of rachel I think j/j were in a bind. if they won pov there would be no way to use it angering both adam and shelly now they are in a bind with adam winning and taking himself off. Rachel is too volatile to trust but I think j/j are better off voting out brendon if he goes up. rachel will fall apart and alienate everyone. j/j can remain with adam shelly or even try to make a deal with dani to vote brendon out in exchange for keeping them safe. not an easy decision. would be a no brainer for j/j if rachel were up. vote her out and try to convince brendon to stick with them.my guess for next hoh winner is kahlia. anhorat, wv, i think each house guest smells anhorat in the house.
What were they thinking when they brought Brendon back in? I hardly watched the show last night because of it. I'm only person, so I guess it doesn't matter. The Brendan and Rachael show is not my cup of tea. LOL
The Twist was definitely done because they wanted Brendon back in the game so the drama can continue. Let's face it, with Rachel and Brendon, it would be pretty boring this season. Again, it is rigged. There was no way anyone in the house, with the exception of Jeff, that could have beaten Brendon at the ball game. I still love wathcing and will continue but it is getting a more and more predictable. IMHO!

Feel better Jackie! :(
Jackie, enjoyed TWTW pictures. I will be back later. I wish they had just skipped 60 Minutes this week.
BTW, you have a fishing scam poster on your picture link this week. You might want to remove the post.
Jackie! Hope you are on the mend!
Hi Monty, Becky
so very sorry to hear you are not doing well. All our best thoughts go out to you
You will be missed! Thoughts and prayers headed your way.
Feel better Jackie!!!! I hope i can make it till the show tonite, im sleeeepy!!!
Feel Better Jackie! You'll be missed tonight. All the Best.
Ed
I hope you feel better real soon, Jackie. : (
PQ
Hope you feel better soon Jackie... wish I was close enough to bring you some chicken soup or something good you'd like.
Thanks for taking the time to set up the blog for us!
Hey everyone. Just checking back in before the show starts. I made bacon wrapped pigs in a blanket in Adam's honor. There's also an iced down tub of beer by the bar. I'll be back when 60 Minutes goes off. Damn Golf!
Jackie, I've been assuming your knee when you've said you're sick... is it your knee or something else?
Keep well. So sorry you're going through this.
Sorry you do not feel well Jackie. Rest and get better soon.
Has there been any talk between J/J or Brenchel with Adam about the POV?
We'll try to keep the noise level down, Jackie, so you can rest and relax a bit. Hope the doctor says things are on the right path tomorrow. I'm still cringing at the thought of your knee bending backwards.
I am wondering the same as Meb...hope your knee is not that bad, but then do not want you feeling ill either!
Take care and feel better fast! I am watching finale of Food Network Star at 9p, so BB is tivo'ed and will watch in the morning!
Feel better Jackie!
Feel better J!!
I'm glad the show was delayed! I just got home and thought I had missed it!!
Sorry you are feeling so lousy Jackie.
Ha! Porchia just threw away the Muscle Milk she spiked with Metamucil and said she got in trouble with Production!
Good!
finally
Slipping quietly back in the pool. Jackie, take care and we'll clean up after ourselves.
Ready to get this show started. Joe, I think Jeff and Adam have talked. Not sure about Brendon and Adam? I haven't had the feeds on much from traveling.
Here we go...
Unforgetable, Person of Interest, Homeland... all these shows and more sound like they are really going to be good... what can I do with so many other favorites already being watched.
Come on BB... it's time.. NOW!
~*~splash~*~
I want to see this competition. I hate it when the HoH is blocked. Doesn't happen that often, but its nerve wracking.
Finally! I just posted earlier and then left. So, hey, everyone!
"dynamic duo". ick.
Hey Becky, Petals and everyone else in the pool. Becky, I visited your neck of the woods this week.
BA - Ren - Don
is back!
Thanks Monty, I still think their best move is talking Adam into NOT using the veto. Takes the power out of Dani's hands. They'll have to sacrifice Shelly to do it, but does anyone besides Jordan trust her?
Jackie, I have meant to tell you both times that I posted to take care of yourself. Please take it easy.
lol, what is Shelly doing? They are soo dumb, little do they know Dani will win the hoh...lol
Adam has a Boogie look about him, in some shots.
What was that vacant smile on Porsche's face. No shit Kalia, you're an idiot.
Jackie - Feel better and sit back and relax. I can't help with the show because it won't be on here for a couple more hours... BUT I brought some cold ones in case someone cries.
SueGee on the Left Coast
Monty, you did? Where were you? Was it hot and humid enough for you?
"why on earth will America vote Brendon back in this house"
um....why in the world would you NOT get Rachel out when you had the chance. THAT'S what America thought you were going to do, but you blew it!
What a great week! I can't wait until Thursday.
Fort Worth... gah! They missed breaking the consecutive days over 100 on Thursday and then it was right back up over 100 on Friday. I believe everything's bigger in Texas now. Especially the temperature. :)
It occures to me that we did not get to see an exit interview with Lawon & Julie. That might'a been interesting.
I still thank Dani made a huge mistake moving against Jeff early, but she's kind of played a good game since then (some by accident, some on purpose). I think she can come out of this week in better shape than she's been ever since the move against Jeff. At some point, though, she needs to lose the arrogance and decide to work with pieces of the vets. Too hard to try and take her threesome far, especially with one as useless as Porsche.

well well well Joe, look who's changing his stance on Dani
jimmyB, the interview is on the CBS site. Julie fake strangled him. :)

here's the link to the lawon eviction interview.
Petals???
Ouch... that had to bite!
hi meb. I am a bit subdued tonight.
Thanx Joe and Monty--I didn't even think to look. Definitely gonna watch it.
Duh, Porsche. The guess was about the party life in Florida.
who refers to themselves in third person?...oh, "Big Jeff"...argh what does America see in him?!
I actually love 'Big Jeff'!!! :)
I stink in these comps. I'd have been out immediately.
Anon 9:17
I never changed my stance on Dani. I said her move against Jeff was stupid and it still is. She wouldn't be hanging by a thread if she had stayed with the vets. What I said is that she has played it smart this week by NOT targetting Brenchel and going after Shelly.
Frankly, Dani was sitting sweet with the vets and the golden key but she insisted on trying to go big too early and she got Dom evicted (her closest ally) and managed to get Lawon evicted. But eliminating Shelly and making deals with the vets might help her now.
Don't get me wrong, she's still hanging by a thread because of her own stupidity. But she's had a good week so far. Of course if she tries to backdoor Brendon and fails, she could still turn this into a bad week.
Counting challanges are not my favorites.
Monty, Ft Worth is about ten hours from us. TX is a big state. This summer has been miserable because of the heat.
We actually had a brief rain shower today. It was wonderful seeing those rain drops.
Hey - can anyone shed any light on something for me, please?
Rachel & Brendan were screaming at Porsche because she wouldnt give them her bed. WTH?
Why would they even have any reason to make such a demand on Porsche or anyone? Give up her bed?
Why???????
Becky, did you see my reply? We were in Fort Worth from Monday until yesterday. I love, love, loved the Stockyards. Can't wait to go back, but I'll never go in August again. Whew!
Porsche makes Jordan look like a genius.
Another J&J admirer here. I may not agree with him about some of the things he says, but he IS all kinds of nice eye-candy!!!
this is just hilarious
anon 9:26 I'm with you on Jeff. I mean he's okay, but I don't know why he's America's sweetheart. To me he's just a slightly less creepy Brendon. If Brendon called himself "Big B", the people on this board would be ridiculing him incessantly.
Feel Better soon!
More updates: The HOH competition is Count on America, based on the home states of houseguests. Each answer is a number, with the person guessing furthest from the correct number eliminated.
New Orleans (Shelly) Mardi Gras necklaces: Rachel is out.
Chicago (Jeff) deep-dish pizza pepperoni: Jordan is out.
Miami (Porshe) olives in a martini glass: Brendon is out.
Las Vegas (Rachel) playing cards: Jeff is out.
New Jersey (Adam) baseballs in two gloves: Shelly is out.
Morth Carolina (Jordan) rivets on a propellor: Adam is out.
California (Danielle, Brendon and Kaia) gold coins in tank: Porsche is out.
Dani is new HOH.
whaddaya know Shelly is the first one to give dani congrats
See, Dani just pulled a Rachel. She really sucks this season. She was somewhat likeable on her Dad's season. But she's as bad a winner/loser as Rachel.
Monty, I saw that you were in FW. I like FW. Or I did the last time I was there.
The mean girls alliance is gloating: party time in the HOH.
And Rachel soon heads there to start bargaining.
I would love to see an epic battle between Porsche and Jordan. I think Porsche might actually be the dumbest reality contestant in history.
Dani really can't count, can she? She's got a weak group of 3 against a group of 6. It is too hard to try and run the house from this point with only 3. You have to win everything. She should have learned something from Janelle's season. Fierce as Janelle was, she couldn't win everything and her solid 3 just got crushed by a bunch of floaters.
This is great drama, and we all love our drama! Dani's DR's are priceless tonight and the same can be said for Rachel.
Ugh, Joe. The painful reminder of Season 6. It was probably my favorite season. The house was so divided, and I absolutely hated the 'friendship' alliance. Gag!!
ok, Jordan, you are very sweet but how can you be so clueless
Keep your current job, Jordan.
Now if Brendon said that about Rachel, you'd call him condescending...
I don't want to use the word 'rigged', but I've always been a little skeptical of this type of comp, counting game (guessing/estimating numbers or quantities) How does anyone really know what the correct answer is?
My Father always told me to believe none of what I hear and half of what I see (a little drastic I'll admit) but that may very well fit this type of comp. The 'correct' answer could be skewed to match a particular contestants answer.
I'm sure there is plenty of suggesting, counseling, and even manipulating going on by the producers, and I'll continue to give BB the benefit of the doubt, so I'm not saying anything's rigged. Just sayin'........
Ed
PS; I'm not really against Dani or anything it just seems a little suspicious.
This is cute. Jordan is so sheltered. How does one grow to her age and not know how to answer those kind of questions?
LOL Adam, you're not going to win HOH anyway...why would that be your deal?
Monty, Season 6 made me a Big Brother obsessive. It used to just be an occasional hour of amusement in summer. Season 6 got me to my obsession.
Joe, because Brendan is gross, and Jeff is charming.
Its not what Jeff or Brendon say, its how they say it. Jeff is joking and sweet. Brendon is condescending. Just my opinion...
Ed in Ohio...all game shows have legal oversight. They really can't cheat. It came out of the Quiz Show scandal in the 50s.
Same here Joe. Season 6 got me hooked and its the first season I started posting on the show. :)
Petals & Monty, I know y'all feel that way about Jeff and Brendon. I just don't think there's that big a difference between them. Jeff is better looking and Brendon is slightly creepy, but beyond that they aren't that different. Jeff has his little tantrums as does Brendon. J has his little condescensions to Jordan, B "manages" Rachel. Jeff is "Big Jeff" and Brendon overcelebrates his victories. I really don't see them as that different.
ED is a proud papa. Daniele is smart for nominating Shelly and Adam, it keeps the vets off her back.
Shelly is one of those people who can never do anything wrong. She lies so much she believes them. She's so moral and she's not.
Jordan is adorable. She should stick to being a receptionists. And Jeff is so in love. He knows what he is getting and is happy with it.
So instead of just being sneaky and switching sides, Shelly is pretending to be betrayed by Rachel in order to make her switch easier.
Shelly's masculinity is disconcerting. To me.
Shelly had been playing a good game but she totally self-destructed this week. She should have played like Rachel last week, shut up and rely on the kindness of strangers. Her confrontations just made her untrustworthy to everyone.
@Becky: *hi-5*
Anon 9:47 Totally agree.
Shelly didn't really have "a deal" with Rachelle and Brendon. She asked if they would take her to final three, and R said yes. That's not a deal, as R just proved.
*On Soapbox.*
Please stop accusing Shelly of hiding a penis. Keep in mind that she has probably never in her life been "the cute one". She has probably never been able to get along on prettiness. Instead she has developed other attractive qualities, like caring for and about others, helpfulness, strength of body and character, and social intelligence. Sure, she could have cultivated that stupid little-girl high voice, demureness of movement, the dependency that so many consider the definition of femininity, she could have had surgery to enlarge her bust and butt and reshape her nose and mouth, but on Shelly (on anyone) it would have been fake fake fake. I suspect even that would not satisfy some of you.
I suppose those of you who want to tear her down are all pretty, shapely, graceful, and demure. But your comments are ugly. There's more than one definition of grace. Please stop.
*Off Soapbox.*
Joe - I get that Jeff & Brendan are both guys with moods, tantrums, etc...
But! Brendan is a very backwards, very anal, very icky, smarmy, blech. He is a mal-adjusted social misfit, so eveything he says comes out skeevy.
Jeff is the opposite: charming, funny, cool, comfortable-in-his-own-skin, confident, sociable, witty. So even when he throws a mood on someone, he does it in a way that doesnt draw hatred or skeeve.
imo, natch.
Another update: Shelly did a mock interview with Jordan. Priceless.
The HOH parade starts: Adam, then Shelly. Dani doesn't seem to believe either one.
Shelly overhears Porsche and Kalia start bad-mouthing her and confronts them.
Rachel and Brendon offer Dani a truce and weeks of safely. She won't commit.
Big Jeff is okay with me... he is so cute. I'm so glad to have a good one in the pool this time!!
There is no comparision to Jeff and Brendon.
@Silk They all lie and cheat all the time. I really don't know why anyone bothers to make a deal and actually consider it a deal. You trust who you trust and that's it. All this wheeling and dealing with the enemy isn't worth the breath it takes. They all know they hate each other.
Shelly screwed up and she knows it. I don't think we'll see her working with Rachel in the least when Brendon's butt is out the door. Still fingers crossed here that his behind goes right back out. Rachel is a dumb ass. She got her buki back and she totally flipped on Shelly, when she should have been counting her numbers. She did most of this after Shelly was nominated and the veto didn't protect her or Brendon, but still the same. She is a dumb ass. Pure and simple. She plays better when her MAN isn't around.
Geeminy, chill Silk. We haze everyone.
Monty - "Buki" - is that what she calls him? I never paid much attention. ick
@Silk
I actually think Shelly was probably pretty hot when younger. I still think she's attractive (sorry, Petals). She has a smoker's voice but I don't think she lacks physical grace.
Joe - did the Newfie find a forever home?
LOL. Shelly is accusing RACHEL of passing information?!?!? She's the one who's been doing it. One lie too many Shelly!
Jeff is not even all that hot. He looks like a barbie doll (ken)..his attitude is too arrogant.
Hi Petals, maybe on the Newf. She's such a sweetie.
shelly is just cracking. She thought she was sitting so pretty when Brendon came back, now she's in hot water.
Joe, sweetie, you are absolutely entitled to your opinion. xoxox. In fact, I think the only person you & I agree on is Janelle. You just love to get under my skin, hehe.
Dani was smart. She knew she had to wait until after veto to show her cards. Good move Dani!
I gotta go Break some BAD!!!!
See some of you in a few minutes, some in a few hours, the rest on Wednesday!
Jackie - feel better! Wish I lived closer so I could look in on you.
Take care!
Dani is sending a clear message to the backstabbing floaters as well as Brenchal...
LOL Shelly! Do you seriously believe your own lies? Weren't you just holding hands, skipping and hopping in a drum circle with everyone when Brendon came back?
Petals, lol... you and Joe are like me and mine. He loves to get my goat whenever he can. He actually rooted for "pigpen" Natalie. Can you believe that? lol
Another update: HOH ceremony.
Key order: Kalia, Porsche, Jordan,Jeff, Rachel, Brendon.
Nominees: Adam and Shelly. Dani mentions being right back where we were two weeks ago. "I need to make sure that at the end of this week, what I need to have happen, happens."
Thanks Sally for the updates
Petals, it can't be just Janelle. What about Will and Boogie? We must have hated some of the same people. After all, I hate most of them most of the time! LOL
Janelle is my favorite of all time on BB. Oddly, I almost think ED was my 2nd favorite if only because he played it his own way when everyone else is trying to play like some combination of earlier players.
monty - Gnatalie? eww LOL
(are you on fb?)
Did I miss a post on who Dani has on the block after the veto was played or has it happened yet?
Sorry Petals - just saw your question. Yes, Rachel calls Brendon 'Buki'. They got into an argument earlier this season because she called him that publicly and not in private in the house. I agree, ick!
See you all on Wednesday if not before. Good night and I'm taking my part of the mess with me.
Rest well Jackie and thank you for opening up the pool for us tonight. Hugs!
"I need to make sure that at the end of this week, what I need to have happen, happens." If I were Brendon, I'd hear that loud and clear. But, uh, she doesn't have the numbers even if she backdoors him. Right?
Donna, Veto ceremonies are on Mondays
@Donna, the veto meeting will be held tomorrow. I so hope it is Brendon.
Donna,
I think the veto is usually on Monday
Joe in NY;
I wouldn't use the word 'cheat' maybe 'control' would be a better description.
We're a long way from the 50's and there are a lot of legal minds out there who know how to get around things. It may be all in the wording like someone once said "depends what is...is"
Anyway it's just entertainment, no big deal!
Ed
@Silk Dani can't control who goes home. If she backdoors Brendon she has to KNOW that they will vote that way. It's really up to J/J. Adam will go along if they go after Shelly.
Ed in Ohio
I was only pointing out that there is independent oversight of all shows with prize money. I think they can at least try and control based on how they ask questions in the diary room, etc. But they couldn't lie about the number of olives in the drink because if caught they'd face federal charges.
Dani MUST suck at math. She doesn't have the votes. @@ I assume that Adam, Jeff, Jordon and Rachel would vote to keep Brendon. With Kalia and Porsche voting to keep Shelly. Although, Adam could vote to keep Shelly thus causing Dani to be the tiebreaker. And does she really want THAT blood on her hands?
Who says she's putting up Brendon. Suppose she puts up Jeff or Rachel. They have a better chance of going.
Thanks everyone, that is what I thought but someone said something I thought it had already happened.
@anon. I'm really not sure how they'd vote. Seems like Shelly's a goner but Jordan seems to like Shelly and if she could convince Jeff then they might be able to oust either B/R. It's kind of up to J/J with Adam probably going along with them ASSUMING that she nominates B/R. She could try to use Jordan as a pawn again knowing Shelly will go home and she's "safe" with the couples for a week.
Joe in NY;
From a lot of your observations it sounds like you'd make one helluva houseguest yourself on BB.
Your 'strategies/scenarios' for the houseguests seems well thought out.
Ed
Has the power of Veto been played? If so who won it?
Jackie,
So sorry to hear you're sick. Feel better soon!
Dani has been talking like she's putting up Brendan. She was very clear about that while talking to Shelly last night, and saying Shelly shouldn't worry because she's safe (while talking to Shelly when she was in Solitary).
However, that doesn't mean Dani won't change her mind. J&J are leaning towards keeping Brendan and they've talked to Adam about it.
I'm sure Adam will use the POV to take himself off the block. I don't think Dani will change her mind and put up J or J yet. It's no secret that she doesn't like B&R and really wants them gone.
Dani not saying much while B&R ramble on and on saying the same things over and over again. Mostly throwing J&J under the bus.
Trying to make a deal with Dani... and she says putting Jeff up isn't out of the question. eek
I hope Dani is just patronizing!

***********************************
Does it matter who Dani nominates between J&J / B&R? The 3 non-nominees plus Adam = a majority. @@ And now that NONE of them trust Shelly anymore. Buh-bye. Dani and Kalia back-to-back weeks of getting less than nothing accomplished. Cheers.
Petals, check your friend requests. ;)
Guys do one thing just go to this link and know more about Big Brother TV Show.
Oh no, Jackie, I hope you are feelling better soon!!
tbc
This game really seems unfair to me... They should have never let Lawon Volunteer. That whole vote a new person in, was also messed up. Allowing vets to play with people they already played with.
I may be just be expressing sour grapes:) But for some reason it seems like the stack was WAAAAY against the newbies from day 1.
I have to agree with those who think the challenges are rigged. It seems the HOH challenge is always geared towards the person that needs to be the HOH. Kalia with the question challenge and Dani with the endurance and another trivia like challenge. And the player picked for the POV challeges are always those that would inpact the nominations. Just saying.....
I hope you are feeling better today Jackie. I don't think I've ever enjoyed an HOH comp as much as I did the one last night. It was priceless watching the alliance of 6 drop one by one. I'm so glad Shelly is on the block. She was getting way too cocky and needed a good shaking up. She sure cracks under pressure doesn't she. I would not be sorry to see her go. If I were Dani I would tell Brendon I was putting him in as the replacement nominee just to make it look like she wanted backdoor him, but since he's in an alliance with J/J Rachel and Adam, he will be safe anyway. I think it helps her either way whether Shelly or Brendon leave.
Hey Lisa,
I don't think the challenges are as rigged as the actual set up of the game itself.
If you are going to have people playing as couples from day one not knowing anything about each other, would put the couples that know each other at a disntinct advantage over those that just met.
I am not sure, but I think that once Brendan was ousted out of the house they added that twist. I really think the twist was going to be based on who exited the house that day.
I may be just be expressing sour grapes:) But for some reason it seems like the stack was WAAAAY against the newbies from day 1.

**********************************
Newbies had an ample opportunity, two voted out Keith,
The last HOH challenge one could argue it was designed for Brendan, however it's obvious it was pure luck, considering Porsche
almost won.
I however believe Dick's leaving was planned from the get go.
I think the ONLY reason Brenden was voted in by America is that we all thought Rachel was going home, that way one would be out. Lawon made the biggest (stupid) move in the game!

Jackie, I hope you are feeling better!! :::hugs:::
Witt :)
P.S. Re: game skewed/stacked one way: This is my opinion... The setup (newbies vs. vets with the vets knowing each other) gave them an advantage, but EVERY player always has the chance to win HOH (exception: outgoing HOH). The newbies banded together on Day One, and how long did that last? Not even to the first eviction!!!
The vets are always pulling the HOH out (with exception of Kalia). The POV comps are by random draw, so no advantage there. If by random draw your "team" is heavier on the deck, oh well...
I knew Brendon would be going back in. He's just too fit and too competitive to have lost against Lawon.
Frpm Silk;
Please stop accusing Shelly of hiding a penis. Keep in mind that she has probably never in her life been "the cute one".
--------
Thank you. A persons appearance isn't everything. It does sadden me that looks still seem to be the most important feature in place of ones character. I think Kaila was also called a name because of her weight. Oh well.
FEEL BETTER SOON JACKIE
I hope it is nothing too serious.
take care of yourself!
I for one wish they would get rid of rachel
I think j/j were in a bind.
if they won pov there would be no way to use it angering both adam and shelly
now they are in a bind with adam winning and taking himself off.
Rachel is too volatile to trust but I think j/j are better off voting out brendon if he goes up.
rachel will fall apart and alienate everyone. j/j can remain with adam shelly or even try to make a deal with dani to vote brendon out in exchange for keeping them safe.
not an easy decision.
would be a no brainer for j/j if rachel were up.
vote her out and try to convince brendon to stick with them.my guess for next hoh winner is kahlia.
anhorat, wv, i think each house guest smells anhorat in the house.
What were they thinking when they brought Brendon back in? I hardly watched the show last night because of it. I'm only person, so I guess it doesn't matter. The Brendan and Rachael show is not my cup of tea. LOL
The Twist was definitely done because they wanted Brendon back in the game so the drama can continue. Let's face it, with Rachel and Brendon, it would be pretty boring this season. Again, it is rigged. There was no way anyone in the house, with the exception of Jeff, that could have beaten Brendon at the ball game. I still love wathcing and will continue but it is getting a more and more predictable. IMHO!
ANY UPDATES? WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE HOUSE?
Adam used veto and Brendon is on the block....and Rachel cried.
According to Dingo's Hamsterwatch.
Is this true? Brendon on the block?
Joe, I agree with you ...
Jeff is just as condescending as Brendon and I don't like him either.
He's just as arrogant as Brendon IMHO.
Immature and self-important people are not attractive no matter what.
