Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Friday Evening/Noms 8/26

I'm at a loss for words here.

I don't know ... things are getting very weird. Whether it's good, bad or production-assisted, I don't know. Here are today's happenings from inside that Big Brother House of Creepers:

• Jordan looks horrible. She must have cried most of the night.
• While she continues to snub Shelly, at least she doesn't lunge at her screaming and swearing like she did last night. It was weird to see Rachel practically have to carry Jordan away from Shelly before fisticuffs broke out.
• Jordan is still very upset that she embarrassed her grandfather and mother with her bad behavior.
• Kalia and Porsche attached at the hip are already driving me crazy. Even when not whispering, they talk so fast and like back in their throats or something that it's hard to understand them.
• There was a lockdown as production did something in the HoH room.
• That led to speculation that it might be a Pandora's Box coming.
• Oh, they were right.
• I'd like to take those stupid furry winter boots that Rachel wears in the California summer and burn them.
• I just had to get that off my chest. She looks stupid wearing them and pulling her long sleeves down over her hands.
• No, I'm not making comments on her looks. I really try not to do that. I'm talking her fashion sense. Or lack thereof.
• Porsche told Adam she'd like to put him and Rachel on the block.
• He's not so keen on that. He's worried that Jordan will win veto.
• Kalia finds that thought laughable.
• Adam told her she should nominate Rachel and Jordan.
• But Kalia/Porsche don't seem to want to nominate Jordan.
• They both have a lot of sympathy for Jordan.
• But Jordan is such a pretty sad gal that it's hard not to feel sorry for her.
• Yet they would like Adam to win HoH next week and do the dirty deed of eliminating Jordan. Then the next week, they get rid of him.
  
• Obviously, they're working on the assumption that Rachel goes this week.
• Meanwhile, Jordan and Rachel are sure they've already lost all possibilities of getting to the end.
• They both decide that if Kalia makes it to the end, she'll have their votes along with Jeff and Brendon.
• Whoops! There goes Pandora's Box!
• For opening it Porsche got herself and Kalia $5,000 each.
• The downside is the game returns to duos -- Kalia/Porsche, Adam/Shelly and Rachel/Jordan.
• So, if Rachel and Jordan get nominated, one could win the veto and both could come off the block.
• But I have no clue if Adam/Shelly win and save Rachel/Jordan. I don't think they can.
• Rachel and Jordan are once again happy campers. They might have a chance to survive at least a bit longer.
• Adam sat like a little fanboy saying how much he loves BB.
• Blech.
• What Adam doesn't know is that folks in his hometown have been asked to evacuate for the hurricane. He'd never guess that one!
• Shelly is still bitter that Jordan is so mad at her.
• I don't really know what else she expected. Jordan went above and beyond for Shelly and, nice girl that she tends to be, the betrayal hurts.
• In other developments, Rachel claims she's two weeks late and thinks she's pregnant.
• @@
• Others think she's saying it for attention.
• It could be either.
• I just don't think she's ready to be a mother right now.
• Kalia once again complained her jeans are ripping at the crotch.
• Well, if she didn't wear such tight jeans, they wouldn't do that. I know that when I wear tight jeans, they end up ripping at the seams there and along the thigh. Plus, tight jeans make heavier legs look like sausage.
• I guess I'm on a fashion kick.
• While I'm on it, I'm tired of Porsche's pink sweatsuit. Of course, it's better than that floor length whatever she wears.
• Gosh, I wish the feeds would come back from nominations.
• Yes, I'm sitting here filling in blank space while waiting for the word.
  

Finally ... confirmation -- Jordan and Rachel are on the block. Jordan said they still have veto and can take themselves off.

Rachel dearest

Porsche fashion

Dumped Rachel and Jordan like hot potatoes

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds - Twist Bulletin

Hmmm ... a long feeds block. They're back to duos?

Apparently Rachel and Jordan are on the block and plan on pulling themselves off as a duo. Rachel's calling it the biggest twist of the summer. Adam and Shelly are one duo, Kalia and Porsche the other. They say that BOTH of them (Rachel and Jordan) would come off the block if they win veto.

Very odd.

But at least they stopped crying.

There was a Pandora's Box. Porsche got $5,000.

UPDATE: Y'know, I don't think the nominations did go down during the feeds block. I think Rachel and Jordan are just assuming they will be nominated. I think the assumption is right. I'll let you know if things change.

A full report will be posted late tonight.

A very sad Jordan

Now, we all need to remember that this is a game. Sure, it's an important and probably life-changing to some extent game for the hamsters themselves. But it's Big Brother. Betrayals and backstabbing are the norm. Winning competitions or being perceived as a strong competitor puts a target on your back. Yet, when there's an upheaval, there is drama. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Pancakes (get it? you flip pancakes!):

• I hate to see Jordan so sad. She's usually such a delight to watch on the feeds.
• Not so much after the feeds started up after the show.
• Cussing, crying and having a general hissy fit.
• Oh my.
• Later she cried some more because she felt she embarrassed her family by misbehaving.
• Aw.
• As we all could have predicted, Adam gravitated to the new power group, stranding Rachel and Jordan on their own little Pity Island.
• Shelly was also in tears feeling bad about betraying Jordan.
• But strategy-wise, that was the best move she could make for her own game.
  
• Rachel, still in her silly furry boots during a California summer, ran around the house demanding her stuffed dog Mr. Crackers back.
• Jordan and Rachel packed Jeff's bags.
• And cried.
• Rachel and Jordan are all but bereft. It's hard to tell if they're going to be able to get their acts together to win anything from this point forward.
• The feeds were blocked for the HoH comp which sounds like it was similar to the practice set-up in the yard.
• You know ... the one I mentioned that Porsche was surprisingly good at playing.
• Yup, there's a new HoH.
• And she's a car, a Porsche as a matter of fact.
• Kalia's short reign garnered her a basket delivered to the storage room.
• Porsche got the full HoH treatment, including a letter from her little brother.
• The next target seems to be Rachel.
• Well, duh.
• The new gang of four -- Shelly, Adam, Porsche and Kalia -- plan on telling Jordan about Rachel's "deal" with Damiele in an effort to alienate Jordan and Rachel.
• They all seem to really feel sorry for Jordan.
• But they thought Jeff was too full of himself and controlling ... he had to go.
• Although Jeff was my eye candy dude and I hate to see Jordan so sad, they're right.
• It was a good game move.

A sad Shelly

Being accused of taking Mr. Crackers

The new HoH. Yes, really.

Not live feeds, but here is the rest of the Jeff/Julie interview:

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Thursday Afternoon 8/25

Is the Cold War over?

Hmm ... some interesting events in the house overnight. I'm really not quite sure what to make of them. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Double Dealing Divas:

• Things were going along as expected, with the hamsters practicing the roll the ball doohickey.
• Amazingly, Porsche has gotten good at that one.
• Then it happened.
• Rachel and Daniele talked.
• Rachel made the approach and, supposedly, it was to get the anger and problems between them in the past.
• After talking forever and civilly, Rachel said something along the lines of "you never even came to me to ask for a vote."
• Daniele guffawed.
  
• Yeah, like that would happen.
• Well, check out those flying pigs!
• And I believe Hell has frozen over.
• Rachel told Daniele she would vote for her to stay.
• Along with votes from Porsche and Shelly, Daniele would have the votes.
• Oh my.
• The problem I have with this is that I don't really trust Rachel.
• It could be that she's doing this just to have the final laugh as Daniele goes out the door, plus expose Shelly's betrayal to Jeff and Jordan.
• Later on, Daniele met up with both Shelly and Rachel. They say the deal is on.
• "I can't believe I'm dealing with the devil," said Shelly regarding Rachel.
• Meanwhile, Jeff and Jordan know they've lost Shelly.
• They have no clue about Rachel.
• When Rachel told them of her talk with Daniele, she focused on little picky snippy things and didn't say not one word about the vote.
• She acted like she and Daniele are still arch-enemies.
• Yet they're giggling each time they pass by each other.
• Until the feeds got cut for show prep, it looks like the deal is still on.
• So, don't be surprised if Daniele stays.
• Or not.
  

Jeff needs to be nervous

Dealing with the devil

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Wednesday Evening 8/24

Adonis pose?

The hamsters don't think tomorrow is the double eviction -- they're sure it's next week. What a rude awakening they're going to have, eh? Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother Habitrail of Harried Hamsters:

• Usually on Wednesdays, things are fairly quiet. After all, the jig is up, the scheming is done.
• But not this week!
• Shelly is still working on Adam to flip the vote, then make Jeff the next target.
• Adam is still noncommittal.
• Adam is more afraid that Rachel will win PoV and put him on the block.
• Even with both Daniele and Shelly trying to convince him, Adam wasn't buying.
• Not that he's outright saying no, mind you.
• He's doing the same thing he's done all season -- giving no hint, saying that they've given him something to think about.
• Daniele keeps telling him that he needs to make big moves.
• Yeah, like he'd even be in the position to make a "big move."
• A bit later, Rachel and Adam shook hands on voting Daniele out.
• I'm sure that's his plan.
• Yet Daniele kept at Adam. Persistent lil devil, huh?
• Thankfully Jeff got the HoH digital camera so the pathetic pleading stopped for a bit.
• While I personally would prefer Daniele in the house over Kalia for my own entertainment enjoyment, this is getting so ridiculous.
• Daniele knows that she's pretty sunk and is all but in panic mode grasping straws to try for a vote.
• Daniele does have both Porsche and Shelly. All she needs is Adam. But he's not swaying. And, he's not the type to just say he'll vote to keep her if he won't.
• If I were him under this level of interrogation, I'd demand a lawyer and end it all!
• Even though Adam has been reporting Daniele's plottings, Jeff still has more suspicion about Adam than he does of Shelly!
• And, no ... Adam has not thrown Shelly under the bus.
• Yet.
• After an indoor lockdown, they went to the yard to find a practice set-up for either an HoH or PoV comp (of course, they think HoH),
• Since a picture is worth a thousand words, see the screen caps below.
• It's almost impossible to roll a ball down that thing!
• At least it will quiet Daniele's scheming for a while.
  

HoH practice

This isn't easy!

Daniele can probably skip the practice

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Wednesday Morning 8/24

Eating the forbidden apple (cookie)?

This season is getting very perplexing. I demand a do-over with no returning hamsters! What? It's too late for that? Sigh.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Nervous Ne'er-do-wells:

• Starting Monday night, it was time for BB to start bringing out the badminton set and dollar store arts and crafts.
• Whoopee.
• They did make neat little bendy people. Surprise, surprise ... Porsche is good at something!
• Yesterday was another day of extreme pleading and pawing the walls for Daniele.
• I personally would rather Daniele stay than Kalia, but it's not anything related to the game.
• Sure, Daniele does make the game a bit more competitive.
• But that's not it.
• On the feeds, Kalia drives me up the wall with a host of odd little things she does.
• She's already been threatened by BB with a penalty nom for her incessant singing.
• If she isn't singing, she's whistling.
• If she isn't singing or whistling, she's tapping or practicing making odd faces.
• When she's not doing any of those things, she's pulling loose hairs from her head and tossing them on the floor. I'm not talking one strand, mind you.
• Atop of all those habits, she talks all the time and at about 100 MPH.
• But enough of that.
  
• Daniele has managed to sway Shelly, but will it stick?
• Shelly worked and worked on Adam to no avail.
• He wants to stick to Jeff and Jordan.
• Shelly even tried to work on Rachel.
• Yes, you heard me.
• More along the lines of keeping Daniele over Kalia, not jumping alliance ship, that is.
• There was EGG DRAMA in the house when BB gave them an Easter egg coloring kit.
• Um ... wouldn't that have expired by now?
• Rachel wanted to decorate some of the lots and lots of already hard-boiled eggs the Have Nots have.
• Kalia didn't want her to. She claims the dye seeps into the eggs and wanted Rachel to make her own boiled eggs.
• @@
• It was all but a brouhaha!
• They ended up using Have Not eggs, but not without resentment and discontent.
• As things stand right now, it looks like Daniele will not have the votes to stay.
• If Shelly is smart, she'll vote with her alliance rather than expose herself as a target sleeping with the enemy.
• I should mention that Daniele was sneaking a cookie under the covers last night.
  
• That's my top screen cap.
• That, of course, technically should be a penalty vote.
• Wanna bet BB won't do anything about it?

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Monday Night 8/22

Not a good birthday week!

After such a boring yesterday full of haircuts, hair dyes and "what if" scenarios, the doodoo hit the fan today. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Swirling Dervishes:

• As I posted earlier, Jeff saved Porsche and put Daniele up in her place.
• He kept Kalia up there mainly due to his earlier vow that if she put him on the block, he'd put her up.
• Although Kalia and Daniele had worked on Jeff to put Rachel up, we knew that wouldn't happen.
• This is a good game move for Jeff, especially if the votes hang in and Daniele actually goes. She's probably the strongest and most driven competitor in the house.
• However, she's also a shrewd manipulator.
• She's already working on Adam and Shelly, not only for the vote but to get them to see that they don't stand a chance with Jeff and Jordan in the end.
• Adam is always hard to read, but I think he's just thinking now with no clear promises to anyone.
• Meanwhile, Shelly told Daniele she would vote for her to stay.
• Daniele worked up the previous Jordan winnings, Jeff's won money already this season and more.
• Shelly once again said she wasn't there for the money although she'd like the win.
• In the past she has mentioned she doesn't receive her stipend, then production cut the feeds.
• This time she got the whole bit out ...
• ... she gives her stipend to HER COMPANY every week as a "thank you for letting her be on the show"!!!
• (And I'm NOT a multiple exclamation point user!)
• What the heck is up with that?
• Is that even legal?
• Of course, this is from a woman in this day and age who hasn't heard of pita chips. @@
  
• Kalia is working on Adam and Shelly, too.
• But she doesn't quite have the power of persuasion that Daniele does.
• While ten days ago, they were thinking this week would be the double eviction, now they think it's next week.
• Oopsie!
• Unrelated I know, but Adam's standing moving back and forth from one foot to the other while everyone else sits, bugs me.
• Either stand still or sit! It's as bad as Shelly zooming around cleaning when they're on lockdown.
• Right now, there's mistrust all over the house.
• Rachel, unfortunately, is sitting pretty with Jeff and Jordan.
• Shelly and Adam might flip, it's hard to tell.
• Actually they might do better teaming up with Kalia or Daniele and Porsche, numberswise.
• But they still suck at comps.
• That's where we stand for now -- a ball of confusion in a spool of lies.
• Good.
  

Sit down already!

PLEASE get her out before the final two!

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Power of Veto Meeting Bulletin

Jeff took Porsche off the block ...

... and replaced her with Daniele.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Saturday Evening 8/20

My eye candy boy

I realize I already posted the winner of the Power of Veto. However, I need to get you up to snuff with what's been happening in that Big Brother House of Indecision since my last full update. So, this starts with last night ...

• Rachel's good behavior lasted all of one day.
• As night fell and booze arrived, she reverted back into The Bad Seed.
• Now I know many think Daniele is a mean girl. I personally don't. I think she's been stepping up and playing the game, albeit with some foolish errors on her part.
• Rachel is the true mean girl.
• She kept harassing Daniele, asking for all of her old HoH treats (which Daniele said she could have), rubbing it in about her birthday as a Have Not, talking about when she turned 25 (last year), repeatedly asking Daniele what was wrong and why she seemed so quiet. Was she depressed?
• When Daniele, who gave very little reaction, went to the backyard, Rachel stood there for a moment with her death glare eyes reminding me of Billy Mumy in the old Twilight Zone episode wishing people to the cornfield.
• Then she followed Daniele out there.
• When Daniele went back inside, Jordan snapped at her to stop it.
• Rachel gave her annoying little giggle.
• Sigh.
• Meanwhile, everyone in the house either saw or heard of the incident.
• Shelly is still on her anti-Rachel wagon although she's agreed to work with her for Jeff and Jordan.
• Shelly, Kalia and Daniele giggled and giggled about the thought of cutting off the foot of Rachel's (still hidden) stuffed dog and putting it on her pillow.
• I don't think I'm mean. But that would be funny!
• I guess I'm mean.
• Thankfully the alcohol conked Rachel out.
• Kalia made Daniele a crown and sash and the crowd sung "For She's a Jolly Good Fellow" -- royalties free, of course.
• BB told them that birthdays are celebrated on Sundays only. So something should happen tomorrow, too.
• The other big celebration of the night was Jordan's humilitard.
• No, she didn't put on a strip show like Adam did with his elf suit.
• Eventually came morning ... then later morning ... as they were in indoor lockdown with lots of construction noise in the yard.
• Finally, after lots of scenario thinking and an extended feeds block, the feeds returned with Jeff the winner of PoV.
• It was a puzzle.
• Jordan says she couldn't get even one piece done.
• That (stupid) Zingbot was there.
• They can retire that idiocy at any time, please.
• Since then, in between eating, working out, non-game talk ... it's hard to say what Jeff is going to do.
• He's definitely not sure he'll use it.
• If he doesn't, the target would be Kalia because she's sneakier.
• If he does, Daniele will be backdoored.
• Shelly still hates Rachel.
• Kalia still hates Rachel, yet had a long pleasant civil talk with her.
• When you're on the block, you do what you have to do.
• But Kalia SERIOUSLY needs to stop pulling on her hair, then throwing loose strands all over the floor wherever she may be.
• I cringe each time I see her do that.
• The veto meeting isn't until Monday.
• Who knows what could go down between now and then?
  

A crown and a sash for her 25th.

Cruddy has a chubby dance

Jordan finally got out of the humilitard

At least hard-boiled eggs don't crunch

Big Brother 13 PoV Bulletin

I'll be posting a full report later tonight, but need to get this out there:

Jeff won the Power of Veto

It was some sort of puzzle.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Friday Evening (inc. noms) 8/19

A content Big Jeff

It was a busy busy day for those little hamsters spinning in their little wheels. Let's get right into it! Here's what happened today in that Big Brother House of Maladjusted Mutant Ninja Hamsters:

• All of them are paying the price for their HoH comp workout last night.
• Better them than me. An ambulance would have hauled me out early in that one!
• Even the backyard is still suffering with suds here and there.
• At least BB didn't put them through the rigors of a tough Have/Have Not comp atop their aches and pains from the HoH comp.
• What happened this time is that BB had an outdoor lockdown.
• When they went inside ... lo and behold ... hard boiled eggs and jalapenos abounded!
• Those, of course, were America's choice.
• I was kind of hoping they'd get that funky fruit, durian.
• Jeff had a card from BB, He started to read and the feeds cut down.
• After a very short feeds cut, they came back and Daniele, Porsche and Kalia are the Have Nots for the week.
• Daniele took being on slop well, especially considering it's her birthday tomorrow.
• BB does usually let Have Not birthday people have cake and ice cream.
• None of the three think it's fair that Jeff just chose them and there was no competition.
• Neither Daniele nor Kalia will eat the jalapenos.
• Nor would I.
• Jeff laid down the word with Kalia. Without coming out and saying he was putting her up, he reminded he that he had told her before that if she put him up, he'd put her up.
• She acted very calm yet concerned.
• In the talk, she threw Rachel under the bus for doubledealing with "the other side."
  
• Then she went into the Have Not room and cried.
• After another outdoor lockdown ... voila! A smaller table!
• Kalia fussed about Jordan not having on her humilitard for four hours while sunning.
• Adam kept his on all the time.
• Adam doesn't sun.
• Nor does Jackie, but that's for another forum.
• Jeff had a talk with Daniele telling her that he was keeping his word and not putting her on the block, but not to use the veto.
• She said she wouldn't.
• Yeah, right.
• Jeff believes her as much as I do.
• Yet another feeds block for the nominations ... and back ... and what a shocker!
• Jeff put JORDAN on the block!
• Okay, just messing with you.
• Kalia and Porsche are nominated for eviction.
• There will be seven veto players tomorrow because Daniele is playing with her ticket.
• She actually doesn't want to win and thus wouldn't have the dilemma of using it or not.
  
• But if someone else wins and uses it, she knows she could be backdoored.
• After yet another feeds block, the PoV players were revealed.
• Everyone is playing except for Rachel. Rachel is hosting.
• That's where we stand ...

Oh ... an additional note I forgot to mention:
While Julie is acting like the double eviction will be such a shock for the hamsters, it won't be. No, production didn't tell them. They had already figured it out by tracking the weeks -- the schedule is way too predictable. BB should have flung it on them the second week or something to throw all their comp tracking awry.

This time BB actually trusts Rachel with a knife.
(Last time they took it away as she
was stabbing the coconuts.)

Very concerned

Who's that in the Have Not room wearing a sombrero?

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Friday Morning 8/19

A new HoH is in town

If you missed the previous post, Jeff won HoH with Porsche most likely in second. Here's what's been happening since inside that Big Brother House of Sudsy Duds:

• The soap has been taking its toll on the hamsters -- Shelly has a possible allergic reaction rash, Adam's voice is even more hoarse than it usually is and everyone is saying their eyes burn.
• I didn't mention it in the post last night, but Daniele kept running with bottles of water and towels for all the others.
• That was nice and needs to be mentioned.
• For her first night alone, Rachel held up quite well compared to the last time.
• That is until she spent half the night roaming around looking for her lost stuffed dog wearing her sad eyes.
  
• Shelly told Rachel if they were going to have to work together the looks and rolling eyes need to stop.
• Then she said it about a half-dozen more times.
• This was in front of Jeff and Jordan.
• Rachel, amazingly, remained quiet and didn't give her death glare.
• In his HoH room, Jeff got a Bob Marley CD , a drawing with words from his 6-year-old niece (which brought out the question "Who's Brown Spots?" much too long), a basket of goodies, a letter from his brother.
• A first, the HoH robe is a plush grey one and the slippers are black.
• Which led to an odd racial discussion later on when Adam called the slippers "blackies" in front of Kalia.
• I know Kalia's point because I've written for an internet audience for so many years.
• People tend to pick up on something like that to twist things to racism. But, geez.
• Jeff told Jordan she should have covered her cup in the comp.
• He made her feel bad. :-(
• As for the nominations, Jeff keeps toying with a combination of the three -- Kalia, Daniele and Porsche.
• They assume Daniele will play veto as she has the pass.
• He'd like to act like he was keeping his deal with Daniele telling her he was going to put up floaters -- Kalia and Porsche -- and not her IF she doesn't save one them winning the veto.
• @@
• Of course, if Kalia and Porsche are on the block, if Daniele takes one down, Jeff has to put up one of his group.
• Wouldn't really matter as they have the votes now.
• Unless he put up Rachel! I bet a lot of people would abandon ship then!
• But that's not going to happen. He won't be putting up Rachel.
  

Adam deliberately looking weird because he is a tad off.

Rachel looking weird just because she's Rachel.

And the cheese stands alone.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds -- HoH Comp Updates

11:20 PM -- Feeds briefly back to hear Daniele declare Jeff the new HoH, feeds gone again. When they came back, it was smokers to the corner as they'll be in lockdown while BB puts the backyard right once again.

11:12 PM ET - Feeds blocked. Jeff was probably less than two inches to the top, no one else really close.

Jeff has a definite lead. I think it's his football background. The girls carry the cups delicately. He's packing his like a football and sliding the last ten feet to the bowl. Went into a feeds block again. 11:09 PM ET -- feeds back only 2 minutes this time.

11:00 PM ET screen cap above

10:55 PM ET -- Waist-deep in suds.

10:48 PM ET - Feeds back, nothing's really changed. I'd like to know why Shelly's is the only one with foam.

Into an unexplained feeds block. Earlier Jeff was hacking as he inhaled foam. But nothing set this off. Maybe BB is upping the ante ...

10:37 PM ET above

10:23 PM ET feeds shot above

10:08 PM feeds screen shot above

10:04 PM ET -- Feeds are back, everyone looks pretty even.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Update Thursday August 18

First, I really want to thank everyone for hanging in with me. I'm not quite 100% for sure, but should be able to spend a little time here at the keyboard. I cannot believe how sick I was. Gah! But enough of that ... I want you spoilers lovers to be up to date on things as you never know how they'll be edited.

• The vote tonight should be five to one for Brendon to leave.
• There was a big brouhaha (no fisticuffs or other violence) between Brenchel and Jordan and Brenchel and Jeff yesterday about it.
• Jeff and Jordan will be voting for Brendon to go as their votes won't save him. All voting to save him would do is make Daniele, Kalia and Shelly mad at them.
• They told Brendon and Rachel the truth -- he doesn't have the votes to stay. Adam is the swing vote. If they can get him, they'll vote to keep him.
• But they know that won't happen.
• Brendon and Rachel fussed and pouted, telling Jeff and Jordan that they'd vote to keep them no matter what.
• We know different.
• While I don't think Daniele told Jeff and Jordan about Brendon and Rachel throwing them under the bus, they know that the throws have been happening.
• Jeff and Jordan aren't dumb.
• Jordan confronted Rachel about her attitude.
• Jeff confronted Rachel about her attitude.
• While separate, these confrontations were consecutive.
• It was very entertaining.
• At one point Jordan made the "mistake" of saying how she had to babysit Rachel all last week.
• Rachel blew up.
• Jeff said that he has bitten his tongue so much when talking with her that he has no tongue left.
• "I can't even taste anything anymore!"
• The lockdown started last night and today itself has been uneventful.
• They're thinking it might be endurance.
• I kind of hope not -- I'd feel better if they did that next week!
• Please stop back for the blog party post!
  

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Bulletin - PoV Meeting

Adam saved himself, Brendon is on the block with Shelly.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Bulletin - PoV

Jordan has to wear this

Lawon left his wig behind
Adam doesn't have to wear this.

After a very long feeds block, they came back on to Kalia, Porsche, Jeff and Adam playing a game of 20 Questions about celebrities. @@

Finally two cameras went to Brendon and Rachel. They are SO not happy. From the whisperings, it sounds like Jordan has to wear an outfit and Jeff seems to have won money. Brendon and Rachel are wondering what sort of deal Jeff and Jordan have with Daniele because she doesn't want to put Jeff up. Neither Shelly nor Daniele have been on camera since the feeds returned.

Okay, there's Shelly all alone in the have not room eating a roll or donut. She doesn't look happy. Looks like she got solitary confinement as there's a toilet set-up behind a curtain.

Adam told Jordan that Daniele told him Jeff would be safe when there were three left in the comp. AHA! Finally, an hour and a half after the feeds return, Jordan said something to the effect of, "Who do you think she'll put up when you take yourself off the block?"

:::collapse:::

Adam won the Power of Veto.

Shelly has the phone call from home after her solitary.
Daniele has a veto ticket allowing her to play in next week's PoV.
Kalia has a Caribbean trip.

Sure, I like drama. You know I enjoy a good brouhaha. However, one thing folks who don't have the live feeds don't realize -- while we have four separate camera views, it might just as well be two (sometimes one!). Feeds 1 & 2 are usually just two different angles of the same location, with 3 & 4 covering a different location.

Into the night last night after nominations, we could have had four cameras on four different tiffs at times! I had to use the flashback option to go back and find things I missed. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of All Heck Breaks Loose:

• Okay, Daniele did nominate Shelly and Adam, telling them that she wants the veto used to backdoor Brendon.
• Daniele has said before that she doesn't like the backdoor bit as the person never gets a chance to stay.
• Daniele has deals with both Jordan and Jeff and Brendon and Rachel -- separate deals, that is.
• I'm honestly not sure which deal she's sticking to. She even told Kalia the backdoor Brendon bit.
• At this time, if the veto saves someone, I think only Daniele knows what she'll do.
  
• If the veto isn't used, it looks like Shelly is history.
• After nominations, all heck broke out.
• Rachel, now that she has her bestest fiance in the world back at her beckon and cry, threw everyone under the bus.
• She said Jeff was mean to her, Shelly was running around telling every conversation they had to the other side and no one helped her.
• That's after me watching HOURS of Jeff and Jordan (and sometimes Shelly) consoling and catering to Rachel's mentally unstable behaviors last week!
• Jordan once again pushed for a "house meeting." I don't know why she keeps suggesting those things. Of course, as a feeds watcher, I like them because they usually turn into screaming matches.
• But, as a hamster, they just tend to stir up more problems.
• As this one did.
• Rachel kept screaming at Shelly and it got to the point where even Brendon wouldn't support her in her exaggerations and sometimes outright lies.
• Shelly screamed back.
• Jeff lit into Jordan calling her dumb for calling the meeting.
• :-( So not nice, Jeff!
• Rachel went running around to everyone saying how she's been telling everyone for three weeks that Shelly has been playing both sides of the house.
• She's right, but I really didn't need to hear her say it 756 times!
• Shelly freaked. Shelly cried. Shelly wanted to quit.
• "I've always just tried to help these girls," Shelly cried.
• Well, it's one thing to clean things and offer worldly advice, but Shelly does take things too far.
• Neither Porsche nor Rachel need to be told by her that they need to wear something so their "hoo-hahs" don't show.
• Darn it, Shelly ... they obviously WANT to be exhibitionists! Leave them alone about that stuff. If they want to look like tramps, let 'em. No skin off your nose!
• You can play the 42-year-old mommy card without giving them that advice.
• The only comedy relief of the night was the new houseguest Phillip.
• Okay, Phillip is only Adam wearing Woody Allen-esque eyeglasses.
• Actually the character itself is a neurotic, OCD, weirdo momma's boy ... kind of like an old Woody Allen movie character.
• Another fight(ish) started when Brendon and Rachel wanted Porsche's bed. She's had the same bed all season and doesn't want to give it up.
• Kalia doesn't think it fair to be asked to give her bed to them either.
• Face it, Brenchel ... no one wants your bodily fluids in their bed!
• No one is on slop this week, no food comp.
• The veto players were picked: Daniele, Shelly, Adam, Jeff, Jordan and Kalia.
• Brendon and Rachel are very upset that their names weren't picked.
• They, Adam and Daniele think it's odd that Jeff and Jordan or, at least Jeff, have played in every veto comp so far.
• Right now, the veto competition hasn't started.
• I'll let you know when I know.
