BB22: Live Feeds into Friday Evening, Nominations - Sept. 18

 

A Day/Kevin physical kerfuffle?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Failing Ferrets:

• As you know from my last brief post -- Memphis won the HoH comp.
• Cody and Christmas are the Have Nots. Cody is mad at Tyler because, when David was looking for a volunteer, Tyler yelled out "Not me, please." So, he chose Cody. Christmas is mad because Da'Vonne had the audacity to choose her. There is no third Have Not as Ian would have made the choice and (wah) he's gone.
• On a side note: Internet rumors have it that Ian will be the new next door neighbor Julie mentioned at the end of last night's show. It would actually make sense to keep the jury under the "BB Bubble" pandemic-wise. We'll see. Then again, it could be Jesse. (Ick.)
• There was an incident the other night as Memphis was complaining about David. A feeds cut, possibly due to the conversation on the other feeds, made seem like he MAY have called David a racial slur. I played it over and over again and I think he was actually calling him "an idiot" with the feeds cutting out at a real bad time. CBS has the complete version as well as enhancement tools. Memphis was cleared of saying the slur. 
• I don't like Memphis. But I did think he was just calling David an idiot. Not nice, no. But not a racial slur.
• Why do my fingers want to type racial slut? Oh noes! I may need help myself!
• There was yet another incident with David and possibly Memphis after the comp and off feeds. David was talking with Enzo and Enzo mentioned David screaming and "running in." He asked if it was a slur. David mumbled something and the feeds cut. So, we are clueless.
• Da'Vonne did refer to David as an "Uncle Tom" while talking to Kevin. The feeds didn't cut for that. Probably those with the feeds cut buttons don't know the term.
• Nicole is walking around lying that she voted to save Ian.
• So now Kevin and Da'Vonne think David is lying when he told them he voted to save Ian.
• Stupid Nicole with her spool of lies!
• Memphis made a deal with David that he won't put him on the block if he promises to not use the PoV if he plays and wins it.
• They shook on it.
• Hmm.
• I don't think I trust either of them.
• Christmas is sucking up to Memphis.
• She thinks he's her final two. 
• He also might be thinking of David as a final two.
• Who knows?
• According to the preseason pre-gaming rumors, Dan and Derrick would have Memphis and Cody battling it out for the win.
• The night before last we had a long feeds block for their halfway party.
• We had no block for Kevin's 41st birthday last night.
• So, he's about three years older than Memphis?
• Oy. Memphis is not aging well!
• What a surprise ... Memphis nominated Da'Vonne and Kevin.

Safe once again

Cleared of suspected slur

EEK!

I'd itch if I was near that hair, too

Just call him Pawn Man

BB22: Live Feeds Bulletin - New HoH - Sept. 18

 

Well, the live feeds were blocked until past the end of the West Coast airing. This is beyond annoying.

Memphis won HoH. Cody and Christmas are the Have Nots. They are ticked off. 

BB22: Live Feeds into Wednesday Afternoon - Sept. 16

 

Playing with cool camera props

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Blocking B-Words:

• I took a rest from posting the live feeds yesterday. It's bad enough they rescheduled a television episode to air on my birthday.
• Although I didn't post, I did watch the feeds on and off during the day and into the night.
• Well, that is, I watched the crumbs left for us in between feeds blockages.
• We are missing many strategy talks.
• We are missing kerfuffles.
• We are missing rather minor brouhahas.
• We are missing them talking about what happened that we missed.
• I guess the person on the switch was napping when we got the Christmas/Bayleigh/Da'Vonne brouhaha.
• We haven't seen one since.
• Last night there apparently were blow-ups between David and Ian and Ian and Dani.
• But did we see them?
• Nope.
• Heck, BB gave them almost a glass of wine each last night, then cut the feeds.
• I'm beginning to wonder if this isn't the beginning of the end of the live feeds or of the show itself.
• Anyway ... Ian is getting on the nerves of everyone. That is not good for him.
• He had long talks about his growing up issues with handling failures poorly and being a poor sportsman. It sounds like he has really had some traumatic times over losing. He thinks he's worked on it and has made progress.
• Yet, we did see he has anger issues when he thinks he's losing.
• Sigh.
• While I do think Dani does indeed feel terrible about nominating him, she did it. She needs to own it.
• While I like Tyler, before the Ian nom, Tyler would definitely go after her and Ian not so much. She realized beforehand that if Ian was on the block with Tyler, it would probably be Tyler staying. This was AFTER she made it clear that Tyler was her target.
• Silly mean girl.
• Ian is going around trying to get people to shake on voting to keep him.
• David kept pushing and pushing him getting Ian to the point of anger.
• Then David went around saying his intent was to make Ian mad.
• Dang. Ian would be better off out of this toxic house!
• Of course, Nicole cried.
• We knew she would.
• Enzo seems legitimately torn between Tyler and Ian. I think he seems to have a soft spot for Ian but knows it's a lost cause with the others in the house.
• Ian thinks he has enough support to force Dani to break a tie.
• I don't think he has.
• And, if he has, would she break it in his favor?
• Probably for her game's sake, no.
• She really should have put Christmas or Memphis up against Tyler. She claimed that Tyler was her target so she put up someone with almost no allies with him.
• Shame on her.

You reap what you sow

She's proud of her head contraption

Ian is being duped by them

Yes, he is indeed expendable

Guaranteed to target Dani

Enzo really likes Ian ... hmm ...

BB22: Live Feeds into Monday Afternoon, PoV Meeting - Sept. 14

 

Sharing a 'do with Tyler today

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Terrible Turtles:

• Sigh, I try not to be the one whining.
• But, this year, the feeds blocks are much too much.
• Apparently there was another wall shouter yesterday evening.
• Those in the yard didn't hear it. Enzo even thought they called an indoor lockdown due to fires.
• I haven't heard them complaining of the smoke, but would think there has to be at least some smell in the air there.
• I found it interesting that one hamster (Cody?) said they have an armed guard on set.
• Oh my.
• Nonetheless, a wall shouter not heard by anyone, hamster or feeds watcher, does not or should not necessitate a shut down of the live feeds for hours and hours.
• They were down well into the night, almost to the dawn here on the East Coast.
• I'm disgusted with the live feeds coverage this season. Or, more accurately, the lack thereof. It's almost as if they're not pushing the feeds as they have done for years. 
• Anyway ... the POV meeting went down fairly early (for them) today.
• Da'Vonne used the veto to save Kevin. 
• Dani replaced Kevin with Ian.
• So, it's Ian and Tyler on the block -- two of the players I actually wanted to watch play the game this season.
• With Kevin on the block, it was likely that Tyler might be sent packing.
• He's already had a hissy fit claiming if he's sent to jury he's just going to leave and forfeit any monies.
• Hmm.
• Ian has also voiced that he wants to go home.
• Watching their talks since the veto meeting, it seems now it should be Ian leaving on Thursday.
• David told Da'Vonne that Ian acts like he and Kevin are dumb.
• No one really knows Ian's gameplay.
• He has no real close allies other than Nicole and Nicole is more attached to him than he to her.
• He is one of the two previous winners in this house of supposed all stars.
• It looks like Tyler is now out of the crosshairs and Ian is the target.
• Sigh.
• Unless things change, it will be Ian leaving.
• In a way, it might be best for him. He would be out of the house of stress where people are mocking him for his autism. He has voiced hope that Kaysar might get him a job. I can see Kaysar doing that if he can.
• But if he leaves, that would leave me with just a few I actually like to watch on the live feeds -- Da'Vonne and Enzo.
• Oh, well. 

Oh, Da'Vonne, what have you done?

Schemes more than he plays

Yo, Bayonne, what up?

See! It's Christmas hair!

BB22: Live Feeds into Saturday Afternoon, PoV Results - Sept. 12

 

Rather glum, don't you think?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Harried Hamsters:

• First, I need to mention something that went down last night after I last posted.
• Now, this happened off camera so I don't know whose version to believe.
• I've heard Memphis say before that production told him it was okay to intimidate people.
• David, rather foolishly as no one but himself would save himself, has denied that he used a power to remove himself from the block.
• Yes, if I were a fellow house hamster, I'd doubt his story, too.
• BUT ... supposedly Memphis came along and hit (whatever) David on the shoulder telling him to 'fess up and admit he had and used a power.
• In the retelling of the tale with Dani, Enzo, Cody present, Cody has him really hitting David hard and being very scary. Dani showed what Memphis told her he did as a friendly little shoulder tap and a gentle pleading voice to confess. Enzo says it was actually something in between.
• No matter what way, Memphis should not be allowed to intimidate people.
• Oh. And David is stupid not to just go ahead and admit it.
• Today's veto players are Dani, Tyler and Kevin (HOH and the two nominees) and the randomly selected players Da'Vonne, Ian and Enzo.
• Da'Vonne won the Power of Veto -- comp blocked to the live feeds, of course.
• I can't help but giggle a bit that Dani's HoH has turned into a bit of a feces-show!
• Heh.
• First, she nominated Kevin and David.
• David saved himself with his secret BB Basement power.
• So, Dani had to nominate a third person even before veto.
• Now, with Da'Vonne winning the PoV and being a tight ally of Kevin's, it's very likely she will use it to save him.
• I know that others will try to convince her that it will be Tyler leaving, not Kevin.
• But, will she take that chance with one of her few allies?
• I don't think so.
• If she saves Kevin, Dani's choices are limited. 
• She could put Christmas up (as a pawn?) but will she take a chance on a woman leaving?
• Or, she could put Ian up. If it's Ian and Tyler on the block, I could see Ian leaving.
• I don't want that to happen.
• Pretty much everyone else who's not already safe (David, Kevin if he's saved) is in her alliance.
• I would love for her to take the move and put Memphis up or Christmas. I'd rather either of them leave over Tyler or Ian.
• I suppose she could put up Enzo thinking Tyler would go.
• Heck, I'd rather Kevin leave over Tyler or Ian. But Da'Vonne will do whatever she feels is right with the veto. And, I believe that will be to save Kevin.
• The veto meeting isn't until Monday.
• What a quandary ...

I be cool. I used my power!

I WON MY FIRST VETO EVER!

They said I could intimidate people.

I should still be safe.

BB22: Live Feeds into Friday Evening, Nominations - Sept. 11

 

"It's time for someone with powers to flex them."

May we never forget the events of September 11, 2001.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Irreverent Idjits:

• As you know or should know from my last post, Dani won the HoH.
• Now, remember ... she always talks of making big moves. Will she do so?
• She also holds the BB Basement power that allows the HoH to play for HoH the next week when they usually have to sit out.
• She hasn't said anthing about that yet. I guess it gets invoked (if she uses it) on Thursday.
• Dani spent part of last night and most of today talking to each and every fellow hamster.
• She didn't tell them that she already knew what she wanted to do.
• Well, she told a few in her inner circle that she wanted to put up two pawns, then backdoor "someone" after veto.
• Kevin balked at the thought of once again being used as a pawn. He told Dani if he gets evicted she will lose his vote if she makes it to the end.
• To be honest, I don't see her making it to the end. But I see more that Kevin does. With all the feeds blocks, I don't see as much as I should see!
• So ... who is her secret backdoor target if a pawn comes down?
• Tyler.
• She feels she needs to backdoor him, striking before he can get her out.
• It seems that certain hamsters must have been talked to about mocking Ian because of his mannerisms due to his autism. Of course, it took a TMZ article to bring it about, but ...!
• While Nicole was definitely a part of the mocking and doesn't know she's losing sponsor contracts due to it, her alliances with both Ian and Dani will keep Ian out of even the pawn crosshairs this week.
• Dani ended up putting two more POC on the block this week. Yeah, supposedly as pawns to get a white boy out, but not the best move to make these days.
• Dani nominated Kevin and David.
• Since the yard opened up for them today -- it's usually closed from the Thursday night HOH until Sunday after the POV is set up and dismantled -- there is speculation over what tomorrow's POV will be.
• They think it might be the Hide and Go Seek comp in which they hide vetos inside the house then make a disaster of the house looking for them.
• In a rare non-blocked production mention Nicole told Ian she doesn't know if they can do that because usually each competitor goes in, hides their veto and they're followed by a production member who takes eacj veto and re-hides each one after the other competitors have come through. That keeps them from finding the veto while hiding theirs or hiding them in the same place.
• I did not know that.
• In other news, they have an ant attack going on in the kitchen.
• Oh, wait, that's not news.
• So ... we're going into confusion with an open yard and two pawns -- David and Kevin -- on the block.
• David has not invoked his power which could remove him from the block. As far as I understand it, he would have to do it at nominations ceremony. He didn't. I'm so confused.
• Maybe he thinks he's safe. Maybe he thinks he wasn't going on the block and didn't think he would be.
• Maybe he did use it and it won't be announced until before veto. 
• I just don't know.
• But what he doesn't know is that Dani has said if no one comes down, she would want David gone before Kevin went.

UPDATE: AFTER I POSTED THIS, DAVID'S POWER WAS INVOKED. HE IS NOW OFF THE BLOCK. DANI REPLACED HIM WITH TYLER.

TYLER AND KEVIN ARE THE NOMINEES.

I've seen her not wear it a lot

Not in danger with Dani

I will talk with all, then do my plan

Dani doesn't know Enzo is onto her

I'm expendable again?!?!

We all know she's safe this week

At least Dani wants men out!

BB22: Live Feeds HOH Endurance Comp Updates - Sept. 10

 Once the live feeds return, I will be updating this post to get you the latest news. Refresh the page for updates!

Or not as this is what I get when I go to the site: 503: Service Temporarily Unavailable

We’re currently experiencing site issues, but are working hard to fix them. Please check back shortly.

918pm ET - Site still down for me. I checked on Twitter. Massive down. Great timing.

I see on Twitter Da'Vonne fell.

9:21pm ET I finally have feeds

9:25pm ET - It looks like Da'Vonne is the only one out. They keep talking to Mike, one of the comp guys. No one seems to be telling them to stop.

As usual, the wall is doing the tilting forward, rain and goop is being sprayed at them.

9:30pm ET Quad Cam

9:42pm ET - Julie was right. This is an epic. The most epically boring wall comp they've ever had on the show. I wonder how Da'Vonne managed to fall before CBS fixed the site. No shaking them, nothing. Just the tilt, rain.

9:48pm ET - David is down. Something went wrong with his hand (slipped? Hurt?)

9:53pm ET - Ian and Memphis both down, Ian first. So, Ian, David and Da'Vonne will be Have Nots.

10:01pm ET - Enzo down.

10:07pm ET - Kevin down.

10:16pm ET - Tyler down. Only Cody, Nicole and Dani remain on the wall.

10:22pm ET - Nicole down followed almost immediately by Cody.

DANI IS THE NEW HOH

And I'm outta here!

BB22: Live Feeds into Wednesday Afternoon - Sept. 9

 

Schemin' demons

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Mean Meerkats:

• Wait ... I guess that's unduly cruel to meerkats.
• Things have calmed down in the Bay/Day/Christmas and sometimes Tyler drama.
• Tyler did not get involved in any of the shouting matches.
• His involvement stems from whether he's lying or not about not being able to volunteer to go on the block and go home to save both Bay and Day.
• I'm not sure.
• I actually think that Christmas has a more uncaring ability about her than does Tyler.
• However, Tyler has certainly proved that he doesn't really know when he should shut up when he's trying to befriend/ally with some folks.
• Bayleigh seems to be more accepting of the fact that it will be her leaving tomorrow night.
• No brouhahas.
• Cody got called into the Diary Room last night and was told that he grandfather died.
• Of course, just like dating back to 9/11 with Monica's (BB2) cousin missing and Frankie's grandfather, no phone call was allowed to talk to the family. They do seem to be given the choice to quit and go home in these circumstances. However, a monitored phone call would probably help mentally in such a situation.
• Once word got around about his grandfather, his fellow hamsters were consoling and willing to give him some time to grieve.
• It's too bad BB didn't feel the same way. They kept following him around with the cameras forever. Dang. Leave him alone for a bit. 
• In other news, both Memphis and Dani made disparaging remarks about Ian's autism and rocking.
• Insensitive jerkfaces!
• Adults shouldn't be mocking and laughing at people who are different. That's a third grade move.
• Trust me, I'd rather be stuck in a house with Ian over either Memphis or Dani.
• I've actually been surprised at how well Enzo is doing this season. His social game was decent in his original season, but it's nothing short of stunning this season. His comp win in his original season was just the OTEV veto. Now he seems to be on a streak. I doubt he'll win this season. But, compared to many others (Dani, Kevin, Memphis and more), I wouldn't feel let down.
• I think Enzo is playing the social game Tyler WANTS to play.
• That's all for now ...

Trying, but still out of his league

BB - Leave him be for a bit!

Can't erase that target

Insensitive jerkface 

Doesn't deserve to be mocked

BB22: Live Feeds into Tuesday Evening - Sept. 8

 

So ... this is the kind of thing I've been watching from inside the Big Brother House of Catastrophic Chaos. I thought the videos I found could explain it better than I can given mere text and still shots. Here's the latest:

• Things have calmed down.
• But this is not a happy house no matter if BB tries to get them all playing in group activities or whatever.
• Bayleigh really shouldn't go at Christmas like that. Christmas has an arrest record for domestic violence. Bayleigh, though she can get emotional, is really not a tough girl. Apparently Christmas is and she is in great physical shape.
• It's hard to say who's lying, who's just playing the game of BB or what.
• Tyler has SAID that BB wouldn't allow him to volunteer as a renom on the block if Christmas removed one of the nominees.
• He told Bayleigh and Da'Vonne he was volunteering to go on the block and go home in the spirit of their BLM devotion for having a Black female winner.
• So ... they thought he was such a good guy.
• Then he says that BB won't let him and Christmas keeps the nominations the same.
• Yet BB allowed Christmas to go up as a volunteer renom last week?
• It's a mess.
• Meanwhile, Bayleigh has admitted to tainting the jury against Tyler in their season.
• Now, Tyler has been saying (not to Bay or Day) that Bayleigh needs to go out before jury because she's an emotional player and would sway the jury.
• Hmm. I thought it was a standard rule of BB that jury was not allowed to discuss game.
• Ian and Bayleigh talked. He was honest with her and spoke in percentages. Right now he's favorable to keeping Da'Vonne 60/40. He said it could change. He also told her that he will let her know before the vote.
• This whole mess is sad. I look at Bayleigh -- yes, she is emotional (and definitely was a bitter juror). But I've seen her try so hard to control her emotions, mainly because she doesn't want to be portrayed or perpetuate the stereotype of an angry Black woman. I get it. But I see her as a young woman, more or less a kid really, who has lived a fairly sheltered life thrown into a very disturbing reality show house. To be honest, I probably wouldn't handle it any better than her. 
• Well, my voice isn't as annoyingly pitchy. There's that.
• Da'Vonne is also fairly young. But I think she's had more of a hardscrabble kind of life and had to grow up when she was still young. 
• Christmas is coming across as cold-hearted and sneaky. Plus she talks too much. Oh ... and has an arrest record for violence and really shouldn't be in the house.
• Tyler? I just don't know. I think he wants to be a good guy. He has been telling the others how mean he was to Bayleigh in that he was a smart-ass and smug with her.
• But I just don't know about the Diary Room thing.
• They apparently don't have the exit buzzer that they can just self-evict and walk out. I don't know if it's been gone for several seasons or just this one due to COVID.
• Anyway, it's all a spool of lies as far as I'm concerned!

BB planned group actvities

Tired of the drama

I am NOT ghetto. I AM upset.

The target is off of me now

Frantic hammocking

BB22: Live Feeds into Tuesday Evening - Sept. 1

 

Christmas stuffs her star babies in a trash bag

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Loquacious Louts:

• Strategy talks perked up a bit today, thanks to Ian.
• Yesterday I think it was Cody and Enzo talking about how Ian conveniently leaves something in each room to give him an excuse to go in while people are talking.
• Well, yeah. Probably.
• Plus Ian is very observant.
• He's got the major alliances, minor alliances and side alliances pretty much down pat with the exception of not knowing where Dani and Tyler stand.
• He was also in the yard and heard the fence shouter shout about Cody and Nicole playing everyone.
• Because he knows the alliances take up just about everyone except himself, Kevin and Kaysar ... and David to a lesser useless extent, he really can't confide in many.
• He went to Kevin, hoping Kevin will work with him since he's at the most on the fringes with the alliances.
• Now, I do worry about that because Kevin's gameplay is usually to float back and forth with the power of the week.
• But Ian knows that he himself has little to lose as he's a previous winner of the game and not really in any alliance with anyone other than Nicole (as the other previous winner) and he really doesn't seem to trust her or want to test the strength of the alliance with any sort of strategy.
• So, he confided in Kevin.
• He later hinted at things with Kaysar and Kaysar convinced him to spill the alliance beans.
• They're trying to figure a way to flip the vote using the intel, but it looks rather bleak.
• In other news, Christmas officially turned in all of her star babies today. She kissed each one while wishing a quick "g'bye" and shoved them into a large trash bag.
• Oh my.
• You'd think that would be some kind of crime!

More muscles than many of the guys

Can he work with Ian without tattling?

Still doubtful he'll stay

A hammocking Ian is a happy Ian
