Big Brother 14: Eviction, HoH Bulletin - Sept. 11
Jenn was evicted with a 2-0 vote (as expected).
Danielle won HoH (not quite expected, but not bad).
But ... if Ian does win the veto (they all play), all the power is in his hands. He would be the sole vote sending Shane or Dan packing. I'm keeping my fingers crossed here. I still like the kid!
I say she puts up Dan and Ian. Dan because of all the grief he's caused her. Come on Ian... win that veto!!
Who would he evict? I still want to see a Dan/Ian final 2 because I feel like the two of them deserve it. That's completely biased though from my opinion, lol
I'm sure it was Ed. They had a little tribute in the house today amongst all of them and hung the flag from the HOH balcony (um,but Dan hung it backwards).
I read the same from a very RELIABLE west coast source. Tiebreaker between Dan and Dani and Dani won. Just like Dan putting the Keesha evict and the Jerry evict off on Memphis.
When he threw the final 4 veto in S10 it was almost comical.
If Nurse Ratchet puts up Dan, it will be because of all the grief. Shane hasn't been making her very happy lately either, but... Watch your backs boys... she's going to be Queen of Nightmares now.
Well, we know she'll put Ian up. We just don't know who else. However, it doesn't really matter. The PoV winner holds the single vote to evict this coming eviction. If Ian doesn't win, it's likely that either Shane or Dan (or Danielle) with the veto will vote him out rather than one of the Shane, Danielle or Dan group.
If somehow Nurse Ratchet pulls out another win and wins the veto as well that would leave the guy that is not on the block deciding. That would really give Dani ALL the power.
Ian couldn't play for today's HoH, though. He will play for the veto ... and I can bet he'll play hard. With his mumblings while hammock rocking, he's mentioned "the mist" and that "they'll cut me." He knows he's low man on the totem pole.
Can't be sure of course, but if Ian wins Veto, he just might take Dan with him... figuring the Jury would vote for Ian to win (and he'd probably be right)
If Shane wins, I think he'd pick Ian and Dani... unless Dan can do some fast Misting.
If Dan wins, we all know he'll pick Dani. The other might be more of a toss-up, but probably Shane, which would crush Ian.
Yes, and I've been preaching to the choir for quite a while now. Ian needs to win the Final 4 veto. It is the only power in the house this week, unless Dani wins it (fingers crossed that the BB gods cannot be that cruel), and the only vote to evict.
Remember back... Daniele Donato wins final 4 veto. Dick and Dani are on the block. Dani takes her dad down and Zach only has Jameka to replace. Evel Dick votes to evict Jameka and the most awesome final HOH endurance of all time happened. :)))
I hope that the veto comp is something that demands some use of the hands because Dani, Dan and Shane all have sore hands from a previous comp and Ian's hands are not injured so he might have a better chance of winning.
If Dan wins veto, wouldn't it make more sense for him to get rid of Shane? It practically would guarantee him a chance in the final two. Ian has been loyal and would probably take Dan and so would Dani. If Dan wins and evicts Ian, he can't be certain that Dani will choose him over Shane and Shane will definitely take Dani over Dan. If Shane were smart, which we know he isn't, he should also keep Ian to break up Dani and Dan. If it did end up being Ian, Shane and Dani and Ian won the last HOH, I suspect he would taken Shane with him as Dani has more friends on the jury.
Ed, I have a lot of empty space for useless BB knowledge. I wish I could remember all that algebra and calculus that barely got me through my physics courses in college. But I can't and I don't need it anymore, lol. Now, my family wishes I could remember their birthdays now and then. :)
On that note, I want to wish my Momma a happy birthday in heaven. Yes, she was a 9/11 baby. She was always saddened by the fact that it happened on her birthday and vowed to never forget. RIP Mom
You if Dan & Dani were to be the F2 it would really be quite an accomplishment, as they were the only team with 1 player & a coach all the way back in week 2!
Dani v Shane..Dani Dani v Ian....Ian Shane v Ian...Ian Dan v Dani....Dan Dan v Shane...Dan Dan v Ian.....Aahh man! I'll have to sleep on this one. I've been a 'Dan Man' for two seasons now but they both deserve it! This is a tough call for me!
Needless to say, BBAD is worthless 'entertainment' tonight So obviously a rerun since Jenn in still the house. It would be much more cost effective to simply cancel for tonight instead of showing a stupid rerun.
On the bright side, we can all get some sleep tonight!
Thanks, Sharon. I posted a comment earler but had a snarky thing towards an anon and deleted it. I try not to go after others who post here. High road and all...
Dan needs to ask Dani to put him and Ian on the block and then throw the veto. Shane would keep him since he thinks he would beat him. Ian would keep him after seeing Dani and Shane together. Is Dani won veto, mind would be the same and Shane would have the dirty job of evicting Ian. Either wat, Dan is in final two.
Shane is a moron. He keeps saying everyone would beat Dan in the final two. Even if it were true, which I don't believe it is (except maybe Ian) what he is really telling them is evicted me or Ian this week, and if you win the last HOH, take Dan with you.
Dan can throw everything from here on out cuz he's gonna be there at the end.
Isn't there someone on this blog who loves Jimmy Smitts. If that's the case, he's is currently on sons of anarchy as Peggy Bundy's love interest. He plays an owner of a phone sex operation or maybe it's a brothel...Not sure yet. He does have lots of tattoos tho.
At the risk of sounding totally un-Petalslike, I just can't watch the end of this season (of BB). I will continue to hang at the pool with you guys, but watching has become frustrating for me, so much that it is no longer entertaining. I am rooting for a Dan/Ian F2, keeping my fingers crossed for some miracle. And to Jackie, I want to apologize: I began to continually break one of your rules with my detestation of Dani. I wrote ugly things - disparaging things about her appearance, her lies, etc. And because "if you can't say anything nice about someone, don't say anything at all...", I will no longer reference that HG.
Shane truly is a moron if he thinks he could win against any of the other 3 who are left in the game. His best chance would be Danielle and that race is too close to call. I believe that Danielle will put Ian and Dan on the block. Of course, the only thing that matters is who wins POV. I would like to see Dan win the POV. I really want to see him fight to win a competition. I don't feel like we've seen that from him yet this season. If he wants Ian out then he needs to play hard and take him out himself. Of course, he would rather have Shane or Danielle do the dirty work for him, but he better not rely on that.
RBennie.. Dan did fight for the OTEV comp against Frank cause he knew he had to in order to stay in the game... other than that one, youre right... he has not tried to win comps.
Monty.. Mom in Heaven has been hearing all our BD wishes and she's smiling down on you right now!
Petals, it's been almost impossible for any of us not to say negative things about Dani... someone so "it's all about me" and delusional.
We've had an abundance of HGs this year that have tempted and received negativity... - Boogie & Frank were easy to dog for their bully tactics, exceedingly foul language, and uncalled for nasty comments. - Joe's loudness and over-the-top exaggerations made us all roll our eyes and cover our ears. Though he did bring out positives towards the end. - Dan has played different this season and some feel he's been quite mean. But I still like him and appreciate his clever Misting talent. How does he do that? :) - Shane. Is there a limit for someone being called Idiot, Moron, Stupid and Dumb? Doubt it. - Jenn has been called a floater, but that's nothing new, and not much else has been said about her being almost invisible. - Ian has probably received the least amount of negativity, other than his ADHD actions... which I find disturbing because he can't help those needs. I've noticed the more stressed he becomes, the more the ADHD actions crop up.
I always thought the rule was that we could trash talk the HGs all we want as long as we don't get too vulgar. The big no-no is trashing other posters. Was I wrong?
RBennie... you are right... as long as we don't get vulgar or trash each other, the hamsters are fair game.
Petals... you sound like something other than BB is getting to you. Hope you're ok... and you can talk about the QP all you want... we all have been doing it.
Please watch with us... I love your quips... helps keep me sane now that Britney is gone. Really need those laughs now and then. (((Petals)))
I agree that this season has gotten to the point of no return. I too won't be watching. I hope that BB, IF they return for another season, try finding a new casting agent. I feel that they need serious help. Although most people feel Dan is some kind of great player, I don't agree. Finding himself and Danielle in the end is depressing.
Although it has been boring at times and people I don't "like" got to stay longer than some of my favs, there have been highlights for me this season. Seeing Boogie's face when he got voted out and having him realize Ian was behind his eviction was classic BB for me. Seeing Brittany's goodbye message to Boogie was wonderful too. Even though it has not been my favorite season I have really enjoyed Jackie's witty comments and visiting with my blog buds almost every day. I know I will go through withdrawal after next week.
Hi Every one, We still are unable to be in our home and unable to watch the show so we want to again say a big thank you to Jackie for helping us to find and fill in what we miss. Joey want to ask" can someone explan Ian having ADHA? What is it and how would it have a effect on him playing the game? Thank you all Thank you Jackie and we love you JULIE & JOEY
Wish you would reconsider, Petals. There's only four shows left counting tonight and you've invested so much of your summer in it so far. At least that's what I always tell myself when I get the end of the stretch BB burnout. It happens every season this time.
As far as your comments, I don't think you've went over the line. You have said anything that the rest of us hasn't.
Hope to see you at the pool tonight. Oh, and NO jury footage tonight. :((
Julie and Joey, ADHD means Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. This condition in Ian doesn't show so much in the 'attention deficit' but more in his 'Hyperactivity.' If you were able to watch him on the show, you'd see that he's always moving or rocking.
Ian mostly uses the hammock to rock, but when they are on indoor lockdown, Ian rocks while he's sitting.
We've also heard Ian makes strange bubbly or squeeky sounds, and I think that's also part of the hyperactivity.
If you'd like to read more about ADHD, here's a website that explains the condition to you a bit better:
Joey & Julie, ADHA is Attention Deficient Disorder with Hyper-Activity. There are many symptoms of this illness but the ones most noticable in Ian are his constant rocking and movement. He also shows signs of social ineptness or being awkward in his relationships with other people. As to how it affects his game, it is debatable but he seems to be more trusting and loyal than a person who is a student of the game should be.
I don't think Ian has ADHD, it looks much more like some form of Asperger's/autism. I think ADHD and Autism are at opposite ends of the spectrum, not sure how someone would have symptoms of both. Looks much more like autism to me. Remember Rain Man (Dustin Hoffman)?
...more on Ian/ADHD/autism... I never notice him having attention issues or being scattered-brained, which is typical of ADHD. He's got the self-stim issue, which is typical in autism. He is a very high functioning autistic/asperger's imho. I like the kid a lot.
FA, although autism/asperger's would indeed fit Ian's self-stimming, he did have a discussion with Dan and described his condition as ADHD.
As described online, the mix of attention & hyper ADHD symptoms can also fit Ian. In any case, Ian is a nice young man who is very intelligent and he wants very much to be liked and appreciated. He's almost child-like (similar to a teenager) compared to the other HGs, and tends to be much too trusting.
Correct Sharon and Lynn. Ian has ADHD and he and his parents decided that he would not take medication for it. He denied being autistic and I trust the conversation he had with Dan about it.
Did anyone read the Danielle Autobiography? OMG its so funny. Mostly written from her actual words. I recommend that you wear some Depends since you're gonna pee yourself as you read. Enjoy! http://tamaratattles.com/2012/09/11/the-autobiography-of-danielle-murphree-a-compilation-of-her-own-words/
Petals, your hiney had better be in the pool tonight with your hands on the keyboard taking part in the bashing.
The rules, as I undderstand them, is we can say what we want about the hamsters, as long as it is PG comments with no vulgar language. We just have to keep out bashing others on the blog (unless some annon idiot bashes our Jackie). I think all of us follow that guideline.
Thank You , all for taking the time to explain it to JOEY, I try to but got mix up about it from what i read online, so thank you all for your help, JOEY thank you too. Hope everyone enjoy the show and stay safe and well. JULIE & JOEY p.s.JOEY SAID, PETALS, DEAR HEART, THE BLOG WOULD NOT BE THE SAME WITH OUT ENJOYING READING YOU GREAT INSIGHT AND LOVIBLE SENSE OF HUMOR, DON'T GO,PLEASE!!!!
It's difficult not to give Danielle a lot of thought today.
How on earth did she squeak through the BB interviews? Is it possible they wanted someone "a little off" to see the results of interactions with other HGs? Unfortunately, I can see the producers doing something like that for shock value.
Dani will probably require a ton of serious psychological help when she gets back to "everyone else's real world."
It's impossible to know what Dani's real life-history has been, but she's a narcissist now. So she won't be able to resist the thrill of reading all about her popularity. In her mind, the first negative review will be an anomaly, so it will be crushing with every additional negative article.
It's obvious Dani is emotionally insecure and I can't imagine what she will go through when she's either read the riot-act, or ostracized by her family. In particular, mom and Dad can't be thrilled with all the stories of their abuse.
It is Dani's own doing, but I have to think she's going to be on the receiving end of some really ugly stuff, and it will be coming from several directions.
"At the risk of sounding totally un-Petalslike, I just can't watch the end of this season (of BB). I will continue to hang at the pool with you guys, but watching has become frustrating for me, so much that it is no longer entertaining."
This happens to me EVERY year. Though this year I am glad Dan and Ian are there. Danielle will NOT make it past the F3 physical comp against any of those guys.
I noticed that along with all Ian's movements he also seems to walk on his tip toes a lot. That is a sign of Aspergers. I suppose his condition could be combination of several things since everyone is different.
Aspergers and ADHD can go hand and hand. And very intelligent people can also show signs of aspergers. My 10 yo was tested for aspergers because of some signs, but it is a combo of ADHD and very high IQ. even medicated he move a lot. He will sit on his knees, then legs behind his head, then like a frog. He never stops. He chews on everything, a stimming activity. But it is a way to release energy.
Thanks guys. I guess that chick (you know, "her") brings out the worst in me, and I began to feel like a mean broken record. I've not liked some players before, but geeminy - when it comes to "her", I have very unChristianlike thoughts, such as "flesh-eating virus", "disfiguring industrial accident" and "straight to internet porn". LOL I would miss you guys too much if I skipped the pool parties. I will be floating around, as always. Being with you guys is more fun than the show. Julie & Joey - was great to see a post from you guys! Hope all is well in your end of the pool XOXOX OKay, since I have your blessings, I will resume the bashing of Delusionielle von Munchausen! I'll try to keep it clean.
I thought of a drinking game: Take a drink whenever she checks a mirror.
{I am still at my office as I post this, but have heard something about towers being down in my area, which may mean I could be off-the-grid when I get home.} Love to all.
re: Ian's disorder. I don't remember if he said if his parents are particularly erudite. They both work at Sprint? Maybe they are just 2 working people trying to make ends meet, and have no idea how intellectually different is Ian. He reminds me of the kid in "Real Genius", the 1985 Val Kilmer movie? The engineering/laser savant that moves in to Val's dorm room at that elite school? Mitch Taylor! That was the kids' character's name. Val's was...Chris Knight! ("Nay, I do bear a brain" [Nurse, Romeo & Juliet]
I've gone back and read all the tweets from the spoiler in the audience last night, and it appears that Dani didn't win the tiebreaker because she's brilliant or anything. She was so far off the correct number, but Dan was over so she won by the rules. Dan was much closer to the actual number and was PO'd at losing the comp that way.
The number was in the 500s, she guessed around 160, and Dan guessed 600 something.
I'll rip on Dan, just out of boredom and bacause he can take it.
I lost all respect for him this season. I only had marginal respect for him anyway, but the way he keeps egging on the Dani/Shane thing is revolting. He knows about Dani's insecurities, and he takes pleasure in tweaking her nose. Not that I like her, I don't. But Dan borders on evil imho. Dani and Shane are just naive and/or dumb. Dan seems to get some sort of sadistic pleasure from what he does.
I am a total Ian fan. This kid has a good heart, an amazing mind, and he's adorably quirky. He will be surprised at how much America has fallen for him, I think. Dani will be equally shocked, but not in a good way, at how we see her. Shane will likely be oblivious.
Watched the live call in show with Mike Boogie on SuperPass from 6:00 to 7:00. He has so much admiration for Ian and had absolutely nothing but good to say about him and is totally rooting for him. He also had some interesting insights into she who shall remain nameless (on this post only, lol). He was spot on, not in a mean way at all. Just pure truth spoken from someone who saw it in the flesh in the house.
Great interview. I recommend anyone who has the feeds watch it when they get it up in their archives. See you all in about 15 minutes.
One other tweet from misscleobb14 from last night...
When they polled the audience as to who they thought would win this season, it was overwhelmingly Ian. Not that that has any significance in this game, but it's interesting to know that much of America is rooting for him.

OK Boys (D,S, & I) get ready because Nurse Murphree is now in charge! HOH!
So who does Dani pick Dan or Shane?
Ian will be going up for sure. All I can say to Ian is may The Force be with you little buddy.
It's all about the Veto now!
Joanie, are you forgetting The Mist? lol
No telling what Nurse Nightmare will do.
I suspect Ian will go up and out, unless he wins Veto.
But ... if Ian does win the veto (they all play), all the power is in his hands. He would be the sole vote sending Shane or Dan packing. I'm keeping my fingers crossed here. I still like the kid!
@ Ed more like Nurse Ratched with those crazy men for One flew over the Coo Coo's Nest!
Lynn LOL! Good One!!
Dani is in F3. Only question now is which two 'boys' will join her?
I say she puts up Dan and Ian. Dan because of all the grief he's caused her. Come on Ian... win that veto!!
Who would he evict? I still want to see a Dan/Ian final 2 because I feel like the two of them deserve it. That's completely biased though from my opinion, lol
GO IAN FOR THE WIN
Ah, Lynn... love the nurse Ratched reference. I've always despised her, despite the Oscar worthy performance, lol
Some are saying Dan & Dani were tied 6 to 6 and Dan 'threw' the tiebreaker to Dani. Not sure about the accuracy on this though?
Dan may want the veto more??
JennCity got evicted on 9/11....that had to be tough for her.
I'm sure it was Ed. They had a little tribute in the house today amongst all of them and hung the flag from the HOH balcony (um,but Dan hung it backwards).
I read the same from a very RELIABLE west coast source. Tiebreaker between Dan and Dani and Dani won. Just like Dan putting the Keesha evict and the Jerry evict off on Memphis.

Well, we know she'll put Ian up. We just don't know who else. However, it doesn't really matter. The PoV winner holds the single vote to evict this coming eviction. If Ian doesn't win, it's likely that either Shane or Dan (or Danielle) with the veto will vote him out rather than one of the Shane, Danielle or Dan group.
actually Dani winning the HOH may be the wake up call Ian needed to come out of the mist.
Thanks Monty!
Does Dani get to play for Veto too?
If somehow Nurse Ratchet pulls out another win and wins the veto as well that would leave the guy that is not on the block deciding. That would really give Dani ALL the power.
Everyone plays for veto.
Ian couldn't play for today's HoH, though. He will play for the veto ... and I can bet he'll play hard. With his mumblings while hammock rocking, he's mentioned "the mist" and that "they'll cut me." He knows he's low man on the totem pole.
Thanks Jackie! So if Dani were to win the veto she could literally decide who gets to make the eviction vote.
Can't be sure of course, but if Ian wins Veto, he just might take Dan with him... figuring the Jury would vote for Ian to win (and he'd probably be right)
If Shane wins, I think he'd pick Ian and Dani... unless Dan can do some fast Misting.

You've got a good memory Monty!
I hope that the veto comp is something that demands some use of the hands because Dani, Dan and Shane all have sore hands from a previous comp and Ian's hands are not injured so he might have a better chance of winning.

Ed, I have a lot of empty space for useless BB knowledge. I wish I could remember all that algebra and calculus that barely got me through my physics courses in college. But I can't and I don't need it anymore, lol. Now, my family wishes I could remember their birthdays now and then. :)
On that note, I want to wish my Momma a happy birthday in heaven. Yes, she was a 9/11 baby. She was always saddened by the fact that it happened on her birthday and vowed to never forget. RIP Mom
Aahh Physics...one of my least favorite.
Happy heavenly B-day to Mom Monty!
You if Dan & Dani were to be the F2 it would really be quite an accomplishment, as they were the only team with 1 player & a coach all the way back in week 2!
Same here, and thanks Ed! :)
Ooops! Above post should have read *You know*....
Dan would beat Dani :))
Shane and Dani are under the impression that the jury wouldn't reward Dan as a two time winner. I'm not so sure about that...
Monty always has such good insight.
Happy Birthday in Heaven to your mom.
We never get over losing our mom's, but every day still brings back so many wonderful memories.
How I would vote if I were on the jury?
Dani v Shane..Dani
Dani v Ian....Ian
Shane v Ian...Ian
Dan v Dani....Dan
Dan v Shane...Dan
Dan v Ian.....Aahh man! I'll have to sleep on this one. I've been a 'Dan Man' for two seasons now but they both deserve it! This is a tough call for me!
if dani was smart she'd put up Ian and Dan and make him have to fight for pov and to oust Shane....
OMG, I though Dan would win HOH. Could you imagine if Daniel wins the game.
Shane will evict Dan if he wins the POV. Dan will evict Shane. I am would evict Shane?
Shane is convinced that they can all beat Dan because he has already won the game. Nuff said
#Doofus
Needless to say, BBAD is worthless 'entertainment' tonight
So obviously a rerun since Jenn in still the house.
It would be much more cost effective to simply cancel for tonight instead of showing a stupid rerun.
On the bright side, we can all get some sleep tonight!
Thanks, Sharon. I posted a comment earler but had a snarky thing towards an anon and deleted it. I try not to go after others who post here. High road and all...
Thanks for wishing my momma a happy birthday.
Monty, just as well you decided to delete the snark since it appears the snark-worthy post was removed. lol
Off to bed. See you all tomorrow night for the BB party!
is there a survivor pool yet?
WAIT!! I'm so confused. There was an episode today????!!
I'm so used to drowning out Chen's "tune in next week" bit..
Off to CBS.com
Dan needs to ask Dani to put him and Ian on the block and then throw the veto. Shane would keep him since he thinks he would beat him. Ian would keep him after seeing Dani and Shane together. Is Dani won veto, mind would be the same and Shane would have the dirty job of evicting Ian. Either wat, Dan is in final two.
Shane is a moron. He keeps saying everyone would beat Dan in the final two. Even if it were true, which I don't believe it is (except maybe Ian) what he is really telling them is evicted me or Ian this week, and if you win the last HOH, take Dan with you.
Dan can throw everything from here on out cuz he's gonna be there at the end.
Isn't there someone on this blog who loves Jimmy Smitts. If that's the case, he's is currently on sons of anarchy as Peggy Bundy's love interest. He plays an owner of a phone sex operation or maybe it's a brothel...Not sure yet. He does have lots of tattoos tho.
At the risk of sounding totally un-Petalslike, I just can't watch the end of this season (of BB).
I will continue to hang at the pool with you guys, but watching has become frustrating for me, so much that it is no longer entertaining.
I am rooting for a Dan/Ian F2, keeping my fingers crossed for some miracle.
And to Jackie, I want to apologize: I began to continually break one of your rules with my detestation of Dani. I wrote ugly things - disparaging things about her appearance, her lies, etc. And because "if you can't say anything nice about someone, don't say anything at all...", I will no longer reference that HG.
Happy Hump Day. xoxox
Shane truly is a moron if he thinks he could win against any of the other 3 who are left in the game. His best chance would be Danielle and that race is too close to call. I believe that Danielle will put Ian and Dan on the block. Of course, the only thing that matters is who wins POV. I would like to see Dan win the POV. I really want to see him fight to win a competition. I don't feel like we've seen that from him yet this season. If he wants Ian out then he needs to play hard and take him out himself. Of course, he would rather have Shane or Danielle do the dirty work for him, but he better not rely on that.
RBennie.. Dan did fight for the OTEV comp against Frank cause he knew he had to in order to stay in the game... other than that one, youre right... he has not tried to win comps.
Monty.. Mom in Heaven has been hearing all our BD wishes and she's smiling down on you right now!
GO IAN!
Petals, it's been almost impossible for any of us not to say negative things about Dani... someone so "it's all about me" and delusional.
We've had an abundance of HGs this year that have tempted and received negativity...
- Boogie & Frank were easy to dog for their bully tactics, exceedingly foul language, and uncalled for nasty comments.
- Joe's loudness and over-the-top exaggerations made us all roll our eyes and cover our ears. Though he did bring out positives towards the end.
- Dan has played different this season and some feel he's been quite mean. But I still like him and appreciate his clever Misting talent. How does he do that? :)
- Shane. Is there a limit for someone being called Idiot, Moron, Stupid and Dumb? Doubt it.
- Jenn has been called a floater, but that's nothing new, and not much else has been said about her being almost invisible.
- Ian has probably received the least amount of negativity, other than his ADHD actions... which I find disturbing because he can't help those needs. I've noticed the more stressed he becomes, the more the ADHD actions crop up.
I always thought the rule was that we could trash talk the HGs all we want as long as we don't get too vulgar. The big no-no is trashing other posters. Was I wrong?
RBennie... you are right... as long as we don't get vulgar or trash each other, the hamsters are fair game.
Petals... you sound like something other than BB is getting to you. Hope you're ok... and you can talk about the QP all you want... we all have been doing it.
Please watch with us... I love your quips... helps keep me sane now that Britney is gone. Really need those laughs now and then.
(((Petals)))
I agree that this season has gotten to the point of no return. I too won't be watching. I hope that BB, IF they return for another season, try finding a new casting agent. I feel that they need serious help.
Although most people feel Dan is some kind of great player, I don't agree. Finding himself and Danielle in the end is depressing.
Although it has been boring at times and people I don't "like" got to stay longer than some of my favs, there have been highlights for me this season.
Seeing Boogie's face when he got voted out and having him realize Ian was behind his eviction was classic BB for me.
Seeing Brittany's goodbye message to Boogie was wonderful too.
Even though it has not been my favorite season I have really enjoyed Jackie's witty comments and visiting with my blog buds almost every day. I know I will go through withdrawal after next week.
Hi Every one, We still are unable to be in our home and unable to watch the show so we want to again say a big thank you to Jackie for helping us to find and fill in what we miss.
Joey want to ask" can someone explan Ian having ADHA? What is it and how would it have a effect on him playing the game?
Thank you all
Thank you Jackie and we love you
JULIE & JOEY
Wish you would reconsider, Petals. There's only four shows left counting tonight and you've invested so much of your summer in it so far. At least that's what I always tell myself when I get the end of the stretch BB burnout. It happens every season this time.
As far as your comments, I don't think you've went over the line. You have said anything that the rest of us hasn't.
Hope to see you at the pool tonight. Oh, and NO jury footage tonight. :((
Julie and Joey,
ADHD means Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
This condition in Ian doesn't show so much in the 'attention deficit' but more in his 'Hyperactivity.'
If you were able to watch him on the show, you'd see that he's always moving or rocking.
Ian mostly uses the hammock to rock, but when they are on indoor lockdown, Ian rocks while he's sitting.
We've also heard Ian makes strange bubbly or squeeky sounds, and I think that's also part of the hyperactivity.
If you'd like to read more about ADHD, here's a website that explains the condition to you a bit better:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0002518/
Joey & Julie,
ADHA is Attention Deficient Disorder with Hyper-Activity.
There are many symptoms of this illness but the ones most noticable in Ian are his constant rocking and movement. He also shows signs of social ineptness or being awkward in his relationships with other people.
As to how it affects his game, it is debatable but he seems to be more trusting and loyal than a person who is a student of the game should be.
I meant deficit not deficient.
I suffer for fat finger typing and not proofing what I type
I don't think Ian has ADHD, it looks much more like some form of Asperger's/autism. I think ADHD and Autism are at opposite ends of the spectrum, not sure how someone would have symptoms of both. Looks much more like autism to me. Remember Rain Man (Dustin Hoffman)?
...more on Ian/ADHD/autism... I never notice him having attention issues or being scattered-brained, which is typical of ADHD. He's got the self-stim issue, which is typical in autism. He is a very high functioning autistic/asperger's imho. I like the kid a lot.
FA, although autism/asperger's would indeed fit Ian's self-stimming, he did have a discussion with Dan and described his condition as ADHD.
As described online, the mix of attention & hyper ADHD symptoms can also fit Ian. In any case, Ian is a nice young man who is very intelligent and he wants very much to be liked and appreciated. He's almost child-like (similar to a teenager) compared to the other HGs, and tends to be much too trusting.
Correct Sharon and Lynn. Ian has ADHD and he and his parents decided that he would not take medication for it. He denied being autistic and I trust the conversation he had with Dan about it.
He said he has ADHD...
Did anyone read the Danielle Autobiography? OMG its so funny. Mostly written from her actual words.
I recommend that you wear some Depends since you're gonna pee yourself as you read. Enjoy!
http://tamaratattles.com/2012/09/11/the-autobiography-of-danielle-murphree-a-compilation-of-her-own-words/
Thanks Anon at 2:23. That autobiography was brilliant! So very funny.
Petals, your hiney had better be in the pool tonight with your hands on the keyboard taking part in the bashing.
The rules, as I undderstand them, is we can say what we want about the hamsters, as long as it is PG comments with no vulgar language. We just have to keep out bashing others on the blog (unless some annon idiot bashes our Jackie). I think all of us follow that guideline.
Thank You , all for taking the time to explain it to JOEY, I try to but got mix up about it from what i read online, so thank you all for your help, JOEY thank you too. Hope everyone enjoy the show and stay safe and well.
JULIE & JOEY
p.s.JOEY SAID, PETALS, DEAR HEART, THE BLOG WOULD NOT BE THE SAME WITH OUT ENJOYING READING YOU GREAT INSIGHT AND LOVIBLE SENSE OF HUMOR, DON'T GO,PLEASE!!!!
It's difficult not to give Danielle a lot of thought today.
How on earth did she squeak through the BB interviews? Is it possible they wanted someone "a little off" to see the results of interactions with other HGs? Unfortunately, I can see the producers doing something like that for shock value.
Dani will probably require a ton of serious psychological help when she gets back to "everyone else's real world."
It's impossible to know what Dani's real life-history has been, but she's a narcissist now. So she won't be able to resist the thrill of reading all about her popularity. In her mind, the first negative review will be an anomaly, so it will be crushing with every additional negative article.
It's obvious Dani is emotionally insecure and I can't imagine what she will go through when she's either read the riot-act, or ostracized by her family. In particular, mom and Dad can't be thrilled with all the stories of their abuse.
It is Dani's own doing, but I have to think she's going to be on the receiving end of some really ugly stuff, and it will be coming from several directions.
"At the risk of sounding totally un-Petalslike, I just can't watch the end of this season (of BB).
I will continue to hang at the pool with you guys, but watching has become frustrating for me, so much that it is no longer entertaining."
This happens to me EVERY year. Though this year I am glad Dan and Ian are there. Danielle will NOT make it past the F3 physical comp against any of those guys.
Hopefully it's Ian and Dan in F3
I noticed that along with all Ian's movements he also seems to walk on his tip toes a lot. That is a sign of Aspergers. I suppose his condition could be combination of several things since everyone is different.
Aspergers and ADHD can go hand and hand. And very intelligent people can also show signs of aspergers. My 10 yo was tested for aspergers because of some signs, but it is a combo of ADHD and very high IQ. even medicated he move a lot. He will sit on his knees, then legs behind his head, then like a frog. He never stops. He chews on everything, a stimming activity. But it is a way to release energy.
Thanks guys. I guess that chick (you know, "her") brings out the worst in me, and I began to feel like a mean broken record. I've not liked some players before, but geeminy - when it comes to "her", I have very unChristianlike thoughts, such as "flesh-eating virus", "disfiguring industrial accident" and "straight to internet porn". LOL
I would miss you guys too much if I skipped the pool parties. I will be floating around, as always. Being with you guys is more fun than the show.
Julie & Joey - was great to see a post from you guys! Hope all is well in your end of the pool XOXOX
OKay, since I have your blessings, I will resume the bashing of Delusionielle von Munchausen! I'll try to keep it clean.
I thought of a drinking game: Take a drink whenever she checks a mirror.
{I am still at my office as I post this, but have heard something about towers being down in my area, which may mean I could be off-the-grid when I get home.}
Love to all.
re: Ian's disorder. I don't remember if he said if his parents are particularly erudite. They both work at Sprint? Maybe they are just 2 working people trying to make ends meet, and have no idea how intellectually different is Ian.
He reminds me of the kid in "Real Genius", the 1985 Val Kilmer movie? The engineering/laser savant that moves in to Val's dorm room at that elite school? Mitch Taylor! That was the kids' character's name. Val's was...Chris Knight! ("Nay, I do bear a brain" [Nurse, Romeo & Juliet]
YAY, dig out the goods and get this party going!
Our always humorous and sometimes snarky Petals has returned!!!
I've gone back and read all the tweets from the spoiler in the audience last night, and it appears that Dani didn't win the tiebreaker because she's brilliant or anything. She was so far off the correct number, but Dan was over so she won by the rules. Dan was much closer to the actual number and was PO'd at losing the comp that way.
The number was in the 500s, she guessed around 160, and Dan guessed 600 something.
Dani is insecure, so let's rip on her some more!
I'll rip on Dan, just out of boredom and bacause he can take it.
I lost all respect for him this season. I only had marginal respect for him anyway, but the way he keeps egging on the Dani/Shane thing is revolting. He knows about Dani's insecurities, and he takes pleasure in tweaking her nose. Not that I like her, I don't. But Dan borders on evil imho. Dani and Shane are just naive and/or dumb. Dan seems to get some sort of sadistic pleasure from what he does.
FA, I would go with dumb. I don't think either one of their elevators go to the top floor.
Mean? Yes. It's my opinion though.
Looking forward to the show tonight and seeing who won the F4 veto when the feeds come back up. Fingers crossed for IAN!
I am a total Ian fan. This kid has a good heart, an amazing mind, and he's adorably quirky. He will be surprised at how much America has fallen for him, I think. Dani will be equally shocked, but not in a good way, at how we see her. Shane will likely be oblivious.
I so hope Ian wins.
Watched the live call in show with Mike Boogie on SuperPass from 6:00 to 7:00. He has so much admiration for Ian and had absolutely nothing but good to say about him and is totally rooting for him. He also had some interesting insights into she who shall remain nameless (on this post only, lol). He was spot on, not in a mean way at all. Just pure truth spoken from someone who saw it in the flesh in the house.
Great interview. I recommend anyone who has the feeds watch it when they get it up in their archives. See you all in about 15 minutes.
I'm ready to party with all my blog buddies :)))
One other tweet from misscleobb14 from last night...
When they polled the audience as to who they thought would win this season, it was overwhelmingly Ian. Not that that has any significance in this game, but it's interesting to know that much of America is rooting for him.
