Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Friday August 12 (Nominations!)

Big Brother doesn't let Daniele into her HoH room.

It's been quite a day in the house. I'm not feeling too well, so this is going to be a real abbreviated list o' happenings. Yet, I've watched just about all the conversations and, as of right now, I'm a bit dismayed as I get this typed up during the feeds block for nominations. Here's the skinny from inside that Big Brother House of Drinking the Kool-Aid:

• Before last night's HoH, Rachel and Brendon (as well as most of the house) were loud and boisterous about Brendon's return.
• Of course, Kalia and Daniele (and to a much less extent, Porsche) knew they were in deep doo-doo.
• Then Daniele won the HoH and the tables turned once again.
• Today a lot of the talks were Shelly Mojo talks -- she talked with Daniele and Kalia, getting into a minor brouhaha with Kalia.
• Daniele and Shelly spoke alone, all came up hunky-dory.
• Shelly and Kalia talked alone, all ended up not only hunky-dory, but peachy-keen.
• They hugged and cried.
  
• Of course, everyone is pleading their case to stay to Daniele.
• That goes without saying.
• So I just typed it and didn't say it out loud.
• Then, Shelly even worked some of her mojo on Porsche.
• Remember Porsche? Yeah, she's still lurking about the house being for the most part a non-entity.
• Jeff's meeting with Daniele was the only brief one. He brought her into the Have Not room, said, "We still on?" Daniele told him, "Yes!" They bumped fists and split.
• Then came Brendon and Rachel.
• Sigh.
• Daniele at first kept not committing to deals they were proposing.
• After all, they're her main targets.
• What they're proposing (and taking forever to do so) is that they work with Daniele to the final three.
  
• They want Daniele to put up two other people this week and tell everyone that she plans on backdooring Brendon.
• Brendon told her that further on, he'd be willing to backdoor Jeff.
• The deal is that NO ONE knows (or would suspect) that they're working together.
• They would protect her if they have power next week.
  
• They would all three talk like they have about wanting to nominate/backdoor/throw out each other.
• Well, Brendon and Rachel wouldn't turn on each other, of course.
• They kept pushing for a Shelly/Adam nomination saying that Shelly would have a chance to get letters and photos from home in the jury house.
• Daniele told them that they definitely gave her something to think about and, in the beginning of their talk, she was sure she was going to put them on the block.
• Finally Adam came up and "rescued" Daniele from the Dastardly Duo.
• She told Adam that if she puts him on the block, he's a pawn.
• He said he's okay with that.
• THEN ... just before the feeds cut for nominations ...
• ... Daniele grabbed Kalia to the storage room.
• Kalia started in on a long (anything she says is LONG) tirade about her Shelly talk and how it ended with them hugging and crying.
• "You're going to hate me," Daniele said.
• She gave Kalia a brief "what if?" talk about putting Adam and Shelly on the block to backdoor Brendon or, if the veto isn't used, get Shelly out.
• Argh. She drank the Kool-Aid.
  
• ... then the feeds cut for nominations.
• Gah.
• Adam and Shelly are on the block.
  

Kalia gets animated in a confrontation with Shelly.

Shelly and Kalia talk things out, hug and make up.

Useless waste of space in the house.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds - New HoH - August 12

Daniele is the new HoH.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Post-Show 8/11

This is just a quick update ...

• Kalia, with her phobia about hairs, needs to stop tugging on her own hair and throwing the shedding hairs on the floor in the purple room. Disgusting!
• As expected -- Daniele, Kalia and Porsche aren't happy campers.
• Porsche is asleep.
• Daniele and Kalia have basically exiled themselves from everyone else.
• The crew of six -- Jeff, Jordan, Brendon, Rachel, Shelly and Adam are celebrating.
• Daniele told Adam that Jeff and Jordan wanted him out and she saved him twice.
• @@
• As expected -- Brendon and Rachel are attached to each other.
• Ew.
• The HoH comp is expected sometime tonight.
• I have no clue what time.
• They're in an indoor lockdown.
• I'll hang as long as I can. I'm sure the HoH will be blocked to the feeds, but we'll know way before it's aired Sunday!

UPDATE - 11:54 PM ET, Kalia just got out of the Diary Room and asked who's ready to play for HoH. Nobody moved. They thought she was kidding. She's not. She said they all have to go to the backyard and the feeds have vanished. So, HoH comp is starting.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Wednesday Evening 8/10

Jeff and Lawon thug ... mug for the HoH camera

Another day in the house x'd off the calendar, eh? Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Confused Critters:

• The upcoming twist hint to the hamsters has them going bonkers.
• Well, more bonkers than they already were, that is.
• Rachel and Lawon are both sure that in all probability whomever is evicted will return.
• Daniele and Kalia figured think that someone else might return ... like Brendon!
• Oh my.
• Jeff and Jordan want Rachel to stay even though she's driving them up the wall.
• Most of the hamsters think Rachel needs to be on some kind of drug to calm her down.
• They think she has the record for running off to the Diary Room crying or fussing.
• Shelly seems to be with Jordan and Jeff -- already told Kalia and Daniele she will be voting to save Rachel.
• Adam seems to be with Jordan and Jeff, agreeing to vote to keep Rachel.
• J, J, A, S think the vote will be 4-2 to evict Lawon.
• They think only Porsche and Daniele will vote to evict Rachel.
• Jeff and Jordan told Adam that the others think it's going to be a tie vote and they can imply that Porsche was the hinky vote to keep Rachel.
• Adam's not too keen on that.
• He likes to get along with everyone.
• When Daniele and Kalia asked him about the vote, he told them he hadn't made up his mind yet.
• That was after he agreed with Jeff and Jordan to keep Rachel.
• It's a ball of confusion.
• Or, perhaps it's all just a spool of lies (Copyright: Howie)
• They got the HoH camera, so fun was had by all.
• Yippee yahoo.
• Earlier in the evening, the feeds went down for two hours so the hamsters could celebrate the halfway mark with a private party.
• Watching Shelly on the feeds is driving me crazy.
• If she was a waitress, she'd be cleaning the table while you're in mid-bite. Maybe it's nervous energy, but the darting around cleaning everything and looking for a napkin set down so she can run it to the trash ... it's all very distracting.
• She doesn't cook, though.
• Jeff and Adam are the big cooks this season.
• Well, I can ramble no longer.

Speaking of which ...

Rachel is really wearing on Jordan

Adam does the funky chicken

Rachel puts on her face

What's that Jeff is smoking?

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Through Tuesday 8/09

Shelly picks at her toes in public. Ew.

Yes, I realize I haven't really posted on Tuesday. There are a few reasons. The MAIN reason is that there has been very little going on. Yeah, there were cute moments, a bit of game talk, some trashtalk, but nothing ground-shaking. The second reason is an issue where I messed up my knee in PT today. That's physical therapy, not Dominic (nicknamed PT for Pre-Teen). Pain and pain meds don't make for great typing or thinking skills.

So I decided to post odd screen caps of each hamster instead of a lot of words. Here's some of what I've gleaned from inside that Big Brother House of Boring Beasties:

• I noticed in the previous post comments that someone thinks Lawon "saved Jordan" by volunteering to go up.
• That's totally wrong.
• Kalia told everyone she would not put Jordan on the block, nor backdoor her. Jordan and Kalia made a promise long ago.
• I'm not a big fan of Kalia's, but she gave her word and she kept it.
• Of course, she made sure that Jeff and Jordan knew she was keeping it -- for brownie points, I'm sure.
• The plan is to vote out Lawon this week, not Rachel.
• Amazing, eh?
• They really think with the new twist that Lawon might come back and automatically be HoH.
• They don't want Rachel to be HoH.
• And I'm the one on pain meds messing up my mind, eh?
• Porsche is getting talked about by everyone.
• She's trying to hang with Kalia and Daniele.
• But they both trashtalk her when she's not around.
• Shelly, meanwhile, is still working her mojo for the most part.
• She has dreams of being in the final three with Jeff and Jordan.
• I've decided I want Jeff in my place not only for the eye candy factor, but to be my own personal chef. He's very domesticated!
• Rachel has calmed down and, for the most part, not causing any issues.
• She did wear Daniele's hat, though. Daniele had lent the hat to Porsche. She's probably going to burn it now.
• Nothing to see here, folks.
• Tomorrow and Thursday until the show will probably be just as non-eventful.
• Sigh.
  

Did Rachel cut herself shaving and
stick bits of toilet tissue on it?
(Actually pimple cream, but ...!)

Kalia relives her hysterics at seeing the HoH room.

Jordan does a Donald Duck/Chipmunk version
of "When the Saints Come Marching In"

Uncle Fester Adam sleeps with his mouth open.

Not a great look, Lawon.

Daniele whispers to Kalia in front of Rachel.
This was to demonstrate her silent clicky
whispering technique I hate so much.

Jeff refused to let me find him in a bad shot.

And then there's Porsche ... still just there.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Monday/PoV Meeting

Now things are getting way confusing. Here's what's happened since I last updated the scoop from inside that Big Brother House of Hilarious Hijinks:

• We last left with Shelly working her mojo on Kalia to put up Porsche and Kalia trying to get Daniele aboard the plan.
• So what happens?
• We need another screw thrown into the works ...
• Lawon told Kalia he's VOLUNTEERING to go on the block against Rachel.
• Say what?
• Has he EVER watched the show?
• You NEVER give up your PoV (unless you're Brendon to Rachel).
  
• You NEVER volunteer to be a pawn.
• You NEVER spit into the wind.
• You NEVER tug on Superman's cape.
• Okay, you get the point.
• Lawon is figuring he won't get voted out or, if he does, he will be coming back with the twist.
• So, sure enough ... the PoV meeting went down. Jeff saved himself and Kalia put Lawon on the block with Rachel.
• Now, I can understand why she's doing it -- if Rachel gets voted out (and/or comes back), she can claim she tried and really thought Rachel had the votes to stay over Lawon.
• This way she can save face with all sides of the house. She should get what she wants yet have no one gunning for her.
• It's Lawon whose thinking I'm just not getting.
• Has someone slapped him upside the head with a silly stick?
• Lawon is putting on a big pouting act over the nominations.
• Rachel is thinking she has a chance to stay.
• Hmmm ....
  

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Sunday Night 8/07

Eek! Stranger in the house!

I realize that I didn't update much today. However, little of real game interest happened until this evening. Sure, Adam had his birthday, but they hid that from us. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Shelly Blue Persuasion:

• So much for the arrival of their grill. First off, it came on a Have/Have Not week, not the best choice.
• Then they had to wait out the lockdown inside as BB cleaned the yard from the PoV comp.
• So they finally got outside and ready to play with their new playtoy when music started wafting into the compound.
• Yeah, I know it's a yard.
• But compound always sounds so much more official.
• It turns out that there was a wedding or something nearby the house. Can't have that noise!
• So they ended up lockdowned again inside the house.
• Yes, I know lockdowned isn't a word. But in the BB house it is!
• They finally got to cook at about 2:45 AM their time.
• Of course, that means that they sleep late and Sunday's usually kind of a nothing day anyway.
• The big daytime event was Adam shaving.
• Oh my. Now he looks like the principal on Room 222.
• Yes, I dated myself with that reference. Live with it, please.
• Okay ... remember Rachel gave Kalia a big long (and civil) talk about putting someone on the block who would pretty much guarantee her (Rachel's) safety this week.
• Kalia (and Daniele) had been leaning towards putting Adam on the block with Rachel to clinch Rachel getting evicted.
• Rachel didn't come out and mention names, but it's Porsche she wants as Jeff's replacement.
• And, Kalia knows that. Porsche is the most likely to be voted out of the remaining hamsters.
• So what happens tonight?
• Shelly went to Kalia with just about the same talk albeit naming names.
• She pointed out that Porsche can't be trusted by either side and, if she were to return in the twist, she isn't as big a threat.
• Shelly, using her mind persuasion mojo, worked just about every angle.
• Kalia sat there mesmerized, almost to the point of being in a daze.
• The rough part would be convincing Daniele it was in their best interest and, if Porsche goes, there could be a truce ... for a week or so.
• Kalia went over the "idea" with Jeff who was agreeable, but said he didn't really want to commit to any deals until he sees that Porsche is indeed on the block.
• When she talked it over with Daniele, Daniele (of course) didn't like it.
• But Kalia also wants to show she makes her own decisions and isn't merely Daniele's puppet.
• Nah, but it could be Shelly pulling those strings.
• Once again, I really am impressed by Shelly's gameplay. She went to Jeff to let her know she set it up.
• If all works and Kalia is happy with the results, she knows it was Shelly's doing.
• As a viewer, I'm a bit concerned.
• The hamsters only know that the person evicted might come back.
• They don't know that there is a possibility of one already evicted coming back.
• Now, if the house sends Porsche packing this week, it's guaranteed that Cassi, Dominic or Brendon could beat her.
• We might as well leave Keith out of things. I don't think America has him in mind at all.
• Hmmm ...
• We won't know until tomorrow (today) who Kalia will nominate to replace Jeff.
  

Jeff in his cool boy cap.

Rachel has never seen a bad feeds shot of herself.

Shelly worked her mojo on Kalia.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Saturday Afternoon 8/06

For me, Jeff will always be the clear choice to stay.

Okay, so we had more mini-brouhahas in the house. The surprising part was some of the action was Jordan-based. Yes, dear sweet never gets riled Jordan. She's ashamed of her behavior and hopes her mother and grandparents aren't embarrassed. Of course, what she did is SO minor compared to the behavior of other hamsters!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Frustrated Froot Loops:

• Last night, before the nominations, Jeff and Jordan confronted Kalia.
• Everyone figured Rachel would be on the block. That was a no-brainer.
• But Kalia told Jeff she wanted him to win the veto. Later he said he first thought she meant to pick him as a houseguest's choice.
• Nope, she wants him to win it by putting him on the block with Rachel.
• Jeff is the remaining alpha male in the house and the most likely to win a comp outside of Rachel.
  
• Jordan automatically thought that the plan would be to put her up as a pawn against Rachel.
• She apparently slammed her key down and yelled at Kalia that she might as well keep her key out, too!
• This, of course, was blocked to us feedsters.
• Jeff has been losing his temper, but Jordan had a really, really bad day yesterday -- going on slop with a fish alternative once again (she hates fish) after barely eating last week, Jeff (and Rachel) on the block, thinking she'll go on the block if either pulls themselves off.
• Jeff and Jordan have taken their vows to take care of Rachel much too seriously.
• I mean, being nice to her is one thing.
• But the girl is definitely poison in the game. They should be backing away from her a bit as if she just might have leprosy and they could catch it if they grow too close.
• The good news is they got a gas grill yesterday. The bad news is that Jeff, the main grill and cooking dude, is on slop.
• Being around all of the crying women is driving Jeff crazy.
• He's point-blank asked Rachel how Brendon puts up with her and told her she's crazy.
• Jordan told Rachel she's like a cyclone or hurricane destroying everything in her path then coming back to normal like nothing ever happened.
• Surprisingly, Rachel is taking all of this well and takes no offense.
• Kalia will NOT put Jordan on the block, not even as a pawn. She won't. She promised Jordan and will stick to it.
• Jordan and Jeff are still leery that Jordan will go up.
• Kalia, Rachel, Jeff, Jordan, Adam and Shelly played for veto.
• Kalia decided that whenever Rachel was down, she could give up. The main thing she told Adam was that she did NOT want Rachel to win.
  
• Jeff, Jordan and Rachel have really twisted around what Julie Chen said to them about this week's evicted hamster MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE to come back into the house.
• They're acting like it's a done deal -- whomever is evicted WILL come back and all three will go after Kalia.
• Jeff, of course, won the veto (as I announced earlier).
• Rachel, after the requisite ton o' tears, actually went and had a long civil talk with Kalia.
• She falsely thinks that she has a chance to stay in the house if Kalia puts the right person against her (Porsche), but names no names.
• She's worried that if Adam goes up against her, she will be voted out.
• Kalia has been thinking Adam as the pawn but has no idea how Rachel heard about it.
• Kalia also thinks, going over the numbers, that anyone she puts up against Rachel would mean a Rachel exit.
• All she needs is three votes and she's the tie-breaker.
• Once again, she said she will never put Jordan on the block.
• She's thinking Shelly or Adam, but wants Rachel out even though she admits she's seen a more human side of Rachel.
• We won't know until Monday who's going up as Jeff's replacement.
• One thing we can be sure of ... Jeff will NOT use his PoV to save Rachel!
  

Shelly is still trying to play both sides

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds - Veto Winner 8/06

A full report will be posted a bit later, but here's the skinny:

Jeff won the power of veto!

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Through Friday 8/06 - Nominations

Gee thanks, BB. Give Kalia crunchy snacks!

I was ready for a total Rachel meltdown and didn't get it. Sure, there were sniffles and snuffles here and there, but no major freak-out. Good for her! How is Kalia handling being the first newbie Queen Bee?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House Fighting Factions:

• Porsche seems to be one confused gal. After all, she's been Rachel's buddy, Jeff and Jordan's buddy and Daniele's buddy. I guess this week she'll be Kalia's buddy.
• That's a bit different from Adam who gets along with everyone and just tends to vote as to not rock the boat.
  
• Lawon, of course, has become Kalia's pal despite all of the pushing she did early on to get him on the block.
• Maybe she just wanted the golden key float.
• Alas, true to their word, Jeff and Jordan have taken Rachel under their wing.
  
• They keep pep-talking her and massaging her self-esteem.
• Kalia thinks Jeff and Jordan are mad that she won HoH.
• Well, probably. It may have to do with the Daniele connection rather than Kalia herself. They had the deal with Daniele to remain safe this week, no such deal with Kalia.
• Of course, Kalia and Jordan still have that deal to never put each other up.
• But that doesn't include Jeff.
• They're all thinking whoever gets voted out this week will come back.
• Except Adam, that is. He thinks it will be more like a Redemption Island twist.
• He's right.
• Daniele told Kalia that her targets are Rachel, Jeff and Jordan in that order.
• Shelly keeps rotating around, siding with whatever side is within earshot and eavesdropping on them all.
• Jordan and Rachel think that Porsche should go home because she's a "total floater."
• When are these hamsters going to get it through their heads that floaters often have their own game. Adam comes to mind..
• But, yeah ... Porsche is a floater.
• And Adam's game is sorely lacking any skill other than being a good bacon buffoon.
• Rachel tried to suck up to Kalia telling her she's proud of her win -- first newbie HoH. She told her she doesn't really expect anything, but if she doesn't get nominated this week and wins HoH next, she won't nominate her (Kalia).
• She actually handled it well. Brendon is probably thinking, "You're not supposed to talk game without ME!"
• Daniele, unlike Kalia, can't bear to converse civilly with Rachel. She doesn't want to talk to her at all.
• Kalia still feels the sting from NO ONE cheering her on in the endurance comp.
• Then the food comp came, sinking Jeff, Jordan and Rachel down a bit deeper.
• Jeff, Jordan, Rachel and Shelly are Have Nots.
• I got my wish, though -- they have catfish and coconuts.
• Unfortunately, Jordan hates fish. She barely ate last week, now has another week of it ahead.
• Jordan is pouting and in tears on and off.
• But she's better at it than Rachel -- she actually growls on and off.
• Kalia told Jeff that if she puts him up, he's the pawn.
• He blew up at her.
• After a long feeds block again ... it's Rachel and Jeff on the block.
• Rachel is freaking out at Jordan, of all people.
• She wants to quit the game.
• Jordan, of course, is in her own tough spot -- she might lose Jeff!
• Yet she's trying to deal with Rachel.
• Rachel claims that she figured she was being nominated, but that Kalia didn't have to tell her she was catty and everything.
  
• It's going to be a long week in the house ...
  

Doing better than I thought she would

Not a happy camper

Almost sorry she got HoH

Big Brother 13 - The Live Feeds Trashbag Wedding

Apparently they didn't have time for it in the show, but CBS has put an edited version of the trashbag wedding of Rachel and Brendon up on the website. Here it is for your enjoyment:

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds - Thursday Drama 8/04

Jordan reacts to Rachel's never-ending sobbing

Shelly shoots herself over Rachel's never-ending sobbing

See! Rachel's own issues have driven the others in the house into severe psychosis! Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Psychotic Reaction:

• Rachel has talked both about walking out with Brendon tonight and/or just quitting the competing.
• She says she'll float and smile and laugh at everyone's jokes, won't try anymore.
• In the midst of all of this, I did pick up her saying (before feeds were cut) that the show ruined her life last year and how they (her and Brendon) didn't even get any follow-up therapy.
• She also said (before feeds were cut again) that the DR pretty much told her that her problems are her own fault and she's being crazy.
• Well, um. Yes.
• She has cried for the most part since the Daniele blow-up yesterday.
• Wearing her rose-colored glasses for a mind trip, she claims that she honestly believed there was a chance of Brendon staying and Jordan getting voted out before that incident.
• Huh? Sorry, gal ... but Brendon NEVER had/has a chance against Jordan. He's tainted goods. Plus, he IS a big competitive threat in the house.
  
• But now, in her mind, Daniele the Super Villain has ruined the chances of Brendon staying.
• While moping this morning saying that she's giving up competing, Shelly tried to console her and give her a pep talk.
• No, Rachel prefers to pout, sulk, cry and use up all the toilet tissue on blowing her nose.
• Act or not?
• Some of it is definitely a "feel sorry for me" pity party act. But as I watch her, it makes me feel like the most psychologically balanced person in the whole world.
• That's by comparison, of course. I have my own issues. But I'm not stupid enough to expose them to the world. After all, it could ruin my reputation, job possibilities, relations with family and friends.
• Oh wait. That's what RACHEL did.
• She claims that being on the show ruined her life.
• So she went on it again.
• All for the $750 a week stipend because she couldn't get a job because the show ruined her life.
• She keeps going on about how she has nothing and is no good.
• That is sad. For sure.
• But she put herself in the situation not once, but twice.
• Nothing Jordan or Shelly said to her sunk in.
• She still says she isn't going to compete anymore, she'll just float along.
• At this point, I'm dreading the leaked hamster return bit. I so hope that Brendon is indeed gone. Then we'll see if Rachel has any game without him or if she's totally hopeless.
• Whatever the case, she's secured her stipend for the rest of the summer.
• Unless she walks out with Brendon, that is.
• I don't think that will happen.
  

Too bad, so sad.
Yeah, right.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Wednesday Night 8/03

"What is WRONG with you?" - to Rachel

After the house got together for last night's trashbag wedding, you'd think everything would be sunshine and lollipops today, right? Ha. Any of you folks who have been following me for a while know there's nothing I enjoy more than a good brouhaha. And, to me, the best brouhaha is one that's absolutely senseless and causes a hamster I don't enjoy to self-implode. BOOM! Some drama fo' yo' mama!

I know it's a cruel dark side of me, but it's so much better than ME acting out and making a fool of myself on television! Here's today's happenings from inside that Big Brother House of Ridiculous Rachel Rants:

• While the day started out quiet enough, it all went to heck in a handbasket before long.
• First, Rachel went around talking to others about how Brendon needs to stay because Jordan already won the game once.
• It would be SO unfair if Jordan won a second time.
• She gave the speech to Shelly, Porsche and Adam at different times.
• Of course, word got back to Jeff and Jordan.
• Brendon and Rachel think Jeff and Jordan have a deal with Daniele.
• Jeff went to talk to Rachel and Brendon about not throwing others under the bus even though they're campaigning.
  
• He did so very diplomatically without throwing any of the informants under said reality TV bus.
• But that's not the brouhaha.
• It upset Rachel, but not to the point of implosion.
• That is yet to come.
• And it's so darn stupid of her that I can only repeat what Daniele said to her as it was hitting the fan ...
• "What is WRONG with you, Rachel?"
• It all started out innocently enough.
• Daniele told Adam and Shelly that she gave their people "shout-outs" on her HoH blog. She mentioned Adam's girlfriend and told Shelly's daughter Josie to have a good first day of school and her husband to put a heart on her hand for her.
• I've read enough HoH blogs to know that sometimes they mention other players' people or events.
• They do.
• They really do.
• Shelly stepped outside in tears at both the thoughtfulness of Daniele to mention it and missing her daughter.
• All of a sudden, we see Rachel storming around the kitchen slamming together a sandwich or something, ignoring Porsche, Lawon and Kalia who were having fun nearby.
• Rachel storms into the Diary Room, comes out a few minutes later, then storms up to the HoH room.
• Getting very snotty and into a situation in men would have a "pissing contest," both went on about two HoH reigns.
• Of course, this season the BB FOTH button pushers are very quick on the trigger.
• If a hamster says "pro..." they hit the censor button because they think the hamster is about to talk about production.
• Geez, they could be talking about PROstitutes!
• Well, not in this case.
• But Rachel did get it out that when she yelled in the DR, they said to her, "Well, why don't you go ask Daniele about it?"
  
• Rachel claims that they're not allowed to "give shout-outs" for other players.
• Daniele says no one ever stopped her from doing it before nor has anyone told her she can't.
• So Rachel thinks Daniele is either lying to Shelly to manipulate her or just manipulating her if she did indeed write it.
• So then it all goes outside.
• Brendon backs his sweet Rachel as she lights into Daniele in front of everybody.
• They both storm into the house.
• After that, even if someone hates Daniele, they're going to be in her corner about the whole absurd scene!
• So, the rest of the day so far has been everyone except Brenchel siding with Daniele over the outburst.
• I'd say, while Daniele can indeed be manipulative, she probably did do the shout-outs just being nice.
• Rachel, with her dark view of the world and lack of people skills, doesn't seem to understand that sometimes people just do the right and nice things in life without ulterior motives.
• I hate to say this, but I do feel a bit sorry for Rachel.
• Just a wee bit.
• I'm sure I'll get over it.
• Y'see, in her HOURS of crying to Brendon and saying how she screws up everything, how everybody is going to hate her even more, how she can't even get a job because people hate her, how she wants to go home ...
• ... I felt a wee bit bad because it is sad that someone has made such a fool of herself in front of the world that their life is probably way whacked.
• But, she returned to do it a second time.
• So, my wee bit of sorry for her is quickly dissipating.
• Will she DOR?
  
• I doubt it.
• But I'm very leery of this "returning" hamster tomorrow night.
• Anyone but Brendon.
• Please.
  

Jeff in the sun

Rachel tries for the elf vote

Shelly cries after hearing Daniele gave
a shout-out to her Josie on the HoH blog.

Rachel cries because ...
well, because she's Rachel
and is once again proving it.

Big Brother 13 - No No No Comebacks Please!

Sometimes the loading bit hits the nail on the head ... or on the nose! But that's not why I'm here.

I never think it's fair when evicted people return to the game. They're evicted, gone, let the game go on. But Allison Grodner, much akin to her creepy liking of Jessie and Brenchel, likes these things.

Apparently the next America's Vote has us voting one of the evictees back into the house. Everyone is included except Evel Dick. Keith, Cassi and Dominic have all been sequestered since eviction, so they're fair game. Plus, the CBS site is including BRENDON in the poll on the assumption he's gonzo tomorrow night.

The poll was posted for mere moments on the CBS BB13 site (which has a makeover I absolutely hate) and I tried to get there to no avail. But thanks to hamsterwatch.com (get your live feeds through her if you plan to pick them up) and zap2it.com, there is a screen capture.

If idiots vote Brendon back in, I swear heads will roll!

A truly trashy wedding

Well. last night wasn't your typical evening in the BB13 house. Oh, sure ... there was still a bit of scheming. You can't be in that house without a bit of treachery and deceit. But we had the social event of the season happen right before our very eyes. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of the Trashbag Dream Wedding:

• As much as I don't care for Brendon or Rachel, this was really fun. Everyone in the house got involved, even their arch nemesis Daniele.
• The trashy theme was perfect for the couple.
• Lawon was a hoot as he performed the ceremony with a mix of gospel and street church.
• Jordan caught the bouquet, Jeff the garter.
• Hmmm.
• The sang "For She's a Jolly Good Fellow" in lieu of anything else because that song is public domain.
• Elf Adam was the ringbearer.
• Rachel made up a wedding vow poem which included "no one will come between me and my man."
• Brendon's vow included a nod to ABC instead of CBS. Wanna bet that won't air on the show? He said he chose ABC because they air The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.
• BB even gave them a bottle of champagne.
  
• Amidst all of the wedding preparation and celebration, it's still Big Brother.
• Since most of the house will target either Rachel or Daniele this week after Brendon goes on Thursday, Jeff and Jordan's NOT wanting to get HoH makes sense. They're down there on the list of targets.
• At least, for the moment.
• Adam is seriously studying for the HoH comp, hoping it's questions.
• Lawon told Daniele (not Brenchel) that he'd put up Rachel and Shelly.
• Not that I think he'd win a comp at all, but I also think he'd entertain the idea of nominating Jeff, Jordan or Daniele with Rachel.
• He's sneaky.
• Daniele thinks that Rachel was rude to them after everyone worked so hard on the mock wedding for them.
• Oh, c'mon Daniele. It's Rachel.

Rachel's happy ...

... when she's the center of attention

Just wait until she's playing the game without her Poookie! Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Bacherlor/Bachelorette Bashes:

• As I told you yesterday, Brendon decided to be all gallant and saved Rachel with the veto.
• Daniele, who previously discussed it with Jordan and Jeff, put Jordan on the block against Brendon as Jordan was the safest pawn.
• In a way, Daniele is very happy because her main target was Brendon, not Rachel.
• Yet she scrambled before the meeting and afterward too, making sure Jordan had the votes to stay.
• Everyone was a bit surprised because Brendon, despite always saying he would save Rachel, had changed his tune the past day or so -- saying he would take himself off the block.
• Which, of course, would be the wiser thing to do gamewise.
• But, for me, Rachel without Brendon might perk up the feeds some!
• Jordan isn't doing well with the Have Not foods. She's barely eating, consisting mostly on pickles. She doesn't like the sardines and seaweed, the slop goes right through her and she's just not eating much at all.
• But she isn't complaining. The others keep trying to get her to eat.
• Jordan is a bit worried about being on the block even though everyone keeps telling her she's safe.
• She's worried that Brendon is running around making deals.
• Kalia, as usual, has a focus on the money. Previously she mentioned how she wants to make the jury to get the full $8,500 stipend ($750 a week). Now she's saying how bad it must be to go out this week and just miss the full stipend.
• Rachel is leery of her ally, Porsche.
• As she should be.
• Shelly, once again, sucked up to Brenchel telling them how unfair it is that they're being split up and what good people they really are.
• Really?
• Blech. Pardon me if I go be ill for a moment!
• Rachel told Porsche she won't talk to Daniele for the rest of the summer.
• After all, Daniele separated her from her man!
• Rachel said that Daniele is worse than Britney was last year.
• Adam has assured both Jordan and Daniele that Jordan has his vote to stay.
• However, he's wisely not making any promises but acting interested in what Brenchel has to say.
• Brendon thinks that Porsche is trying to manipulate Rachel and shouldn't be trusted.
• Daniele told Kalia that she really wants Rachel out next week.
• Well, duh.
• Then the fun started -- Adam, Porsche and Lawon came up with a relatively tame "stripper" dance for Rachel and Brendon's bachelor/bachelorette party.
• I hate to say it, but Adam dances better than I do.
• Fun was had by all.
• Even me as I watched it.
• Porsche told Daniele she won't nominate or backdoor her next week -- she'd go after Lawon, Kalia or Shelly.
• I don't believe that.
• I don't think Daniele really does either.
• Rachel cried after she went to the DR to tape her goodbye message.
• Nothing to see here, move along.
• Daniele told Porsche how Brenchel came to her trying to get her to put Porsche on the block and how she's expendable to them.
• Meanwhile, the rest of the vet crew is talking about how worthless Porsche is in the game and they don't trust her.
• When Brendon saw Porsche, he told her she shouldn't hang out with Daniele or people will think they're working together.
• He also asked Porsche who she'd put up on the block -- Daniele and maybe Shelly.
• Hmm.
• Jordan talked to Adam about throwing the next HoH to him (so they won't be in the spot to put up Daniele or offend Rachel).
• He's agreeable. He just doesn't want it to be endurance.
• Huh. I wonder why endurance scares him.
• Oh, yeah. It's because he sucks at anything physical.
• Except strip-dancing, that is.
• That's pretty much where things stand now.
