Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Sunday Night Into Monday - July 29-30

Jenn's hoodie statement

Oh my gosh! Could we be having hamster waffles for breakfast? Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind:

• Now Ashley wants to work with Shane.
• Danielle still wants to sleep with Shane.
• Ashley thinks that Janelle is good at being nice to everybody's face.
• She's probably right there.
• Janelle told Britney that they need to team up together to get Frank out of the game before the coaches get in the game.
• Yep, she said it.
• So it must be despite the Internet disapproval of the idea.
• Janelle and Joe are both saying Joe will do whatever he needs to do for Shane to stay in the game.
• "My life for you, Randall Flagg!"
• Er. He didn't say that.
• Britney recalls producer Allison Grodner telling her she could expect the unexpected when they were discussing the winnings amount for her contract.
• Janelle is certain the coaches will go into the game on Thursday.
• Therefore, she's back to wanting to team up with Britney to get rid of Boogie and Dan.
• Janelle thinks if Boogie plays the game, he and Frank will be a powerhouse.
• Janelle's protege Wil isn't quite the social suck-up that Janelle can be.
• He vows revenge on Shane if either Ashley or Joe go home.
• Both Ashley and Shane think they trust Frank more than Wil. Ashley thinks Wil is going to be vindictive.
• Well, yeah.
• Britney thinks it's a bad idea to nominate/get rid of Frank this week.
• The HoH crew (Shane, Britney, Wil, Janelle, Danielle) told Ashley that Shane is taking her off the block.
• Oh my. How the hamster turns ...  

Perhaps not so doomed?

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Into Sunday Evening - July 29

Ian makes a phone call

Guess what? It's Sunday and absolutely nothing is going on in the habitat! Plus, they're rather wiped out from last night's festivities. Nonetheless, I'm here to tell you the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Wayward Children:

• Joe claims he wants to make a deal to buy himself two weeks in the house. Then he would willingly self-evict.
• Yeah, right.
• I'd rather see him self-implode.
• Britney doesn't think JoJo is in the jury. 
• I don't think so either. I wouldn't doubt that she's still sequestered, though. I haven't heard any buzz about her out in the world.
• But I could be wrong.
• Lots of small talk about last night, hanging out in the pool, sunning, exercising and non-game stuff going on today.
• They bemoaned the fact that they're not even into August yet. They were given a September 19 finish date, although that is subject to change.
• They know the math doesn't work out with players remaining vs. time left in the house.
• Britney told Dan she can't make breakfast because the bacon grease splatters and hurts her hands.
• @@ Adam from last year would be aghast.
• Joe, Wil and Ashley tried to think of schemes in which they could get Shane to use the PoV, save one of them and put Frank on the block.
• Joe is practically offering his life to save his life in the house.
• Shane and Britney had a long talk with Ashley about how Joe has instigated so many problems in the house.
• "If it hadn't been for Joe, Willie wouldn't have exploded."
• Huh. I said at the time that Joe was egging him on and running around ratting out every little thing.
• Shane and Britney told Ashley her team had deserted her -- Janelle wants to save Joe.
• Joe actually seemed to make some headway with his pleas to Shane.
• Oh noes!
• Although, either Joe or Ashley leaving wouldn't bother me.
• Shane seems to be actually considering backdooring Frank.
• Britney says they would have nothing to gain be taking out Frank right now.
• So, it looks like things might be up in the air.
• I still doubt that Shane will use the veto tomorrow.
• But there is the concern that Janelle might gather the votes to save Joe.
• Maybe that odd patch of glowing hair on his face could be evicted.
• I'd be happy with that for now.

Big Brother 14: Nominations, Coach Comp Show Blog Party - July 29

Although it's hard to predict this season, tonight's episode SHOULD include the coach comp and nominations. Last week's Willie drama threw everything askew. The show is starting on time here on the East Coast. I'll be updating this entry with major happenings as they air.

But, as always, the real fun is in the comments area. Come join in on the fun and watch the show with us!

Coaches comp, feel the burn, gym equipment in the yard. They have to do reps on the equipment. Each eliminated coach opens a locker and gets what is inside. Britney out first -- won the chance to pick two players for Have Nots. Ian volunteered and she chose Joe with him. Boogie out second, got $10,000 -- for him and two players, $6,000, $3,000 and $1,000. He took the six, Ian the three and Jenn the one.

Dan eliminated, he and five guests of his choice invited to sushi and cocktail party. (Yikes, I was under the impression Britney won this on the feeds.) He invited the coaches, Shane and Danielle.

Janelle won the comp. She chose to save Wil this week.

America voted cereal and salmon for the slop eaters this week.

Britney wants Shane to put up one each from Janelle and Boogie. Shane has his deal with Frank and doesn't want to put him up.

Nominations time! Key order -- Jenn, Ian, Danielle, Frank. On the block are Ashley and Joe. He claims he did it because one coach (Janelle) hasn't had any players on the block.

Ashley cried. Joe says his heart rate is going up.

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Saturday Night Into Sunday Morning - July 28-29

Wil's birthday suit

It was an evening for festivities in the house as the hamsters celebrated Wil's birthday, plus selected hamsters got to attend a sushi party won by Britney in the coaches comp. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Hamsters Shouldn't Let Fellow Hamsters Get Drunk on the Live Feeds:

• Ashley still thinks Ian is the biggest threat in the house.
• Good. I hope he is. I'd like him to do well!
• But none of the others are as focused on Ian as is Ashley. That's good.
• Frank was supposed to be on last season, got his key and all ... and we got the feeds cut.
• Hmm.
• Those who couldn't attend the sushi party are: Ian and Joe (Have Nots), Frank, Jenn, Wil and Ashley. All of the coaches, Danielle and Shane are the only ones at THAT party.
• That doesn't mean the others didn't party.
• Some of a Wil Diary Room session leaked into the house.
• Supposedly he's the biggest physical threat on Janelle's team.
• Well, Joe could be but he really has sucked at each and every comp.
• And Ashley is um ... Ashley.
• So, I guess it is Wil!
• Only the people attending the sushi party could be in the yard. They each had two drinks and a glorious meal.
• While the sushi party was going on, BB gave the indoor crew alcohol (not the Have Nots -- Joe and Ian).
• They decided to get dressed up and have their own bash.
• Ian wore blue skin-tight boxers and a bow-tie.
• Wil and the others are more easily defined in the screen caps.
• The sushi party invaded the indoor party ... and cake flew everywhere.
• Janelle smashed Ian in the face with cake then apologized for the penalty nomination he'll get for eating while a Have Not.
• Now, BB wouldn't do that!
• They were drunk and loud.
• Maybe it was fun if you were there. I'm just glad that rowdy party wasn't going on in the apartment next door.
• I even had to turn the volume down because I didn't want my neighbors to think I was throwing a wild party!
• Drunks, drunks, drunks ... all on the equivalent of two beers each, except Wil who had a whole bottle of wine.
• @@
• Ian ran from the bathroom wearing only a hat strategically placed. 
• Now, he wasn't drunk! 
• Oh my.
• When he returned to the Have Not room for his clothes, he asked the camera if it enjoyed his show.
• The camera shook its head no.
• They played Spin the Bottle. Uh-oh.
• Ashley had to kiss Frank!
• Dan tried to get Danielle to let up a bit on the booze drinking.
• After all, loose lips sink ships!
• Wil ran out naked through the party to go skinny-dipping.
• Dan and Britney told both Shane and Danielle to cool it with their showmance. It will hurt their game.
• They're right.
• Ian had a super hammock rocking session. I think he sorts everything out in his mind when he does that.
• As I get this posted, Boogie just got up and started making coffee. 

Jenn went to town

Off Topic: That Was the Week It Was - July 29, 2012

Good Sunday morning, folks! Welcome to my weekly off television topic reflection on the week gone by in both words and photos I've taken. If you're looking for Big Brother content, you can find all my latest posts right at this link. I posted a live feeds report last night and will be submitting one with the late night and overnight happenings in a few hours. You might want to skip this post, but you're indeed welcome to stay!

It was another Super Summer week here in the NJ/NYC Greater Metropolitan Area. I'm SO ready for the summer to end. Heat and humidity? I'm not a fan. Oh, sure ... I love a way cool thunderstorm now and again, but not if it knocks my power out. 

On the Jersey 'hood front, the Demon Hello Ice Cream Truck is still terrorizing the streets. I still have not bought any ice cream from it. I fear I'd start shouting "Hello! Hello!" and start beeping and making farm animal noises.

Speaking of farm animal noises, the urban rooster in the 'hood no longer crows. No, I don't think his goose (rooster) was cooked. I believe the entire Deliverance Family has up and left. For some reason, I think they probably rented out that house and lived there long enough to get evicted for non-payment of the rent. 

On the apartment building front, they finally have all of the video cameras filming the three entry doors to the building. I pretend I'm on Big Brother and peek at them out of the corner of my eye as entering or leaving. How much do you want to bet that someone will eventually steal the cameras?

Once again, I didn't have a great photo-taking week. I got a few decent shots, but I was hot and sweaty or it was raining or I seemed to be running late for the part of the week. Work itself was a bit less hectic, but I'm not getting a lot of sleep due to the BB live feeds reporting atop of trying to lead a normal working life.

Here's what I took to share with you this week:

Lightning bug up close and personal

Once again, a lightning bug was in the hallway. This time it was up on the wall allowing for a better shot. The windows by the elevator have no screens (although they do have child guards) and people keep opening them as the corridors have no AC. Thus, bugs come in. Look! He has little HANDS!

The 'shroom family

Obviously heading out for a day of summer fun. Bridgewater, NJ

What the heck is with that hair?

Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends. Glad you could attend, step inside, step inside. (Apologies to Emerson, Lake and Palmer) Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Brain Salad Surgery:

• Joe fussed about the Have Not bed. Oh, poor guy.
• It's Wil's 25th birthday. Eh.
• Ashley told Frank that Wil and Joe told her that he (Frank) wants her out because she's a floater. He denied it.
• Oh, but I know that Joe, Boogie, Shane, Janelle and more have definitely talked about the floaters in the house -- Jenn, Ashley, Ian and Danielle.
• Frank told Ashley if she got Houseguest's Choice in the PoV pick, she should choose him -- he'd keep the nominations the same and Joe would be going home, not her.
• Well, duh. Joe will probably go home no matter who he's against!
• Ashley says she only trusts her team.
• Wil and Joe?
• Oh, my ... seal your own doom, girl. They won't save you!
• She ended up drawing Wil for her PoV pick.
• Frank and Danielle also played for PoV with Wil, Ashley, Joe and Shane. Jenn is the host.
• Ashley really wants Ian, Shane and Frank out of the house.
• She better step up her game then, eh?
• Shane told Danielle he only trusts her.
• Gag me now.
• Janelle told Wil that Frank is just like Willie and needs to go.
• Huh. Frank isn't like Willie at all. If anything, JOE is a bit like Willie.
• Ashley also thinks that Danielle listens too much and it scares her.
• Ashley is a nut!
• Joe asked Frank to take him off the block if he wins.
• Frank just schluffed it off saying that his ears have been burning the past few days. Joe really shouldn't talk about people, then want them to help him!
• Janelle tried to pep talk her team.
• Her team looked like the saddest most worried people on the face of this earth.
• Rah-rah.
• Shane said he promised his Mom that he wouldn't have a showmance.
• So ... why is Danielle all over him?
• The feeds were blocked for the veto comp.
• But Shane won AGAIN!
• Joe thinks it's obvious he will be going home.
• Obviously!
• Britney told Janelle that her team left them high and dry two weeks in a row.
• Yep.
• Janelle told Britney that Boogie's team is running the game and that isn't right.
• But, gee ... when Janelle went to the Dark Side joining forces with Boogie, it was alright then, eh?
• Ashley talking about Frank being mad they couldn't backdoor Shane during Frank's HoH: "When Willie got executed or expelled ... whatever ..."
• Ashley is more frightened of Ian than she is of Frank.
• @@ Did I mention nutty?
• Now, instead of cigarettes, Janelle's offering up her wedding ring as a bribe? Sheesh!
• Joe said the "royal breakfast" for Shane wasn't his idea -- it was suggested by the Diary Room.
• Go figure.
• Janelle and Co. think they have convinced Shane to put Frank on the block.
• I say they're dreaming.
• Joe is even playing the "my kids future" card.
• They're going to be having a sushi party (won by Britney in the coaches comp) soon. 

Snugglebunnies?

Yep, she sure did bruise well!

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Bulletin - PoV - July 28

A day late a dollar short ...

But, here's the news -- Shane won the Power of Veto AGAIN!

A full report will be filed later!

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Into Saturday Morning - July 28

Janelle trying to coach Joe

Well, well, well ... it's been quite the night in the Hamster House. By targeting Janelle's team in his (Shane's) nominations, the lines have been redrawn once again. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of As the Hamster Turns -- like sand through the hourglass, these are the days of their lives:

• With the coaches comp on Fridays and the HoH awaiting the results from that, it doesn't seem like they have time to really prepare for nominations as much as in previous seasons.
• Shane pretty much made the HoH a revolving door quickly talking to each hamster before he was called to make the nominations.
• I swear some got about two minutes tops. 
• He was telling them to state their cases in 30 seconds!
• Not in a mean way, mind you. More in a hurried way.
• Janelle and her BFF Wil really, really want Frank out.
• Shane not so much ... he has his deal with Frank even though last week, had he not won the veto, he (Shane) would have gone home.
• Joe is more antsy than usual as he's not only nominated (and knows he's the likely target), but he's also a Have Not.
• Too bad, so sad, Joe.
• Maybe if he shaved that stupid thing growing on his face, I'd have more sympathy.
• Hmm ... probably not. He's a bit like a Willie Hantz with slightly more education and cooking skills.
• Wil thinks Shane and Frank are working together.
• Y'think?
• Danielle is upset about the nominations. She was expecting to hold power as the swing vote this week as she thought Shane would nominate one each from Boogie's and Janelle's teams.
• Britney and Dan now trust Boogie more than Janelle. They think he's a lot less sneaky than Janelle is.
• They're probably right. I hate to admit it, but I actually like Boogie on the feeds more than Janelle this season.
• Boogie on the live feeds is a lot less egotistical than he is on the actual show.
• The Have Nots have cereal and salmon this week. That's probably the most filling/healthy of the choices that could have been.
• Janelle tried to talk Shane into going against Boogie's team.
• Alas, Boogie's team has been more honest with Britney's team (Shane) than has Janelle's.
• Janelle should have thought of that prior to aligning with Britney in the beginning, then jumping ship, now trying to jump back aboard.
• Danielle was worried that she might be backdoored, but Shane and Britney insist that she's safe. They also told her that Boogie's team will keep her safe next week if they get the power.
• Joe is claiming his anger level and heart rate both went up when he was nominated.
• Good. We need a new decent brouhaha!
• Janelle has huge bruises on the outsides of her thighs from the coaches comp.
• Joe told Shane that he wants Frank gone this week and he won't come after Shane.
• How does it feel to want, Joe?
• Somehow, in the coaches comp, Ian won $3000. I might be getting this wrong, but it sounds like Boogie won money and split it with Ian.
• Good, the college kid probably has bills to pay.
• Ian said his mother told him (when she found out he was going into the house) that she hopes he's the first one out. She probably said that because Ian is so far from worldly and she's worried about him.
• It's like throwing a lamb into slaughter.
• But he's holding his own and I'm cheering him on from here.
• Janelle and Wil think that if Janelle hadn't saved him (Wil), he'd be going home this week.
• They're absolutely right.
• Wil has done little other than clinging to Janelle like some sort of shadow.
• Is the Diary Room telling Janelle stuff?
• Janelle told Wil that there will be a twist with the coaches coming into the game this week as per America's Choice. She also said she and Boogie are fan favorites.
• Hmm.
• Most of the people I've seen who follow the live feeds (including myself) DO NOT WANT THE COACHES IN THE GAME.
• And, many Janelle fans (such as myself) aren't liking her gameplay so much this season.
• I'm on the Britney Train for now ... although that's subject to change.
• Janelle thinks Boogie wants his boy Frank to win.
• I think Boogie is probably leaning more towards his boy Ian -- it's Ian he kept safe, it's Ian he gave the money to. I'm just sayin' ...
• It's Wil's birthday today. Ho-hum.
• The PoV comp will be later today, too.

Danielle upset to not be nominated?

Janelle is WAY bruised up from the comp

Eek!

A man and his bear

Big Brother 14: Nominations Bulletin - July 27

Summit meeting?

Shane's nominations are in. He drank the Boogie/Frank Kool-Aid. He nominated two from Janelle's team -- Joe and Ashley.

Big Brother 14: Coaches Comp Bulletin - July 27

Janelle won the coaches comp ... Wil is safe for the week (of course).

Although the nominations are not in yet, they're obviously leaning towards Joe and Frank. Joe is the target.

Have Nots are unclear, though Joe has been mentioned.

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Into Friday Afternoon - July 27

Shane and his HoH key are inseparable

How are the hamsters doing with a new sheriff in the town? Oh, wait. It's just Shane. He's obviously good at winning comps, but he's no PuppetMaster! Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Quivering Quahogs:

• The early risers of the day, Boogie and Joe, complained about how messy the house is getting.
• Like that's anything new!
• Joe made his fancy bribe breakfast for Shane.
• At least he admitted to Shane that it was is apologize and "kiss ass" time.
• But, still. I call sleaze!
• Joe thinks Ian wants to make a record for the longest on slop.
• Chicken George holds that record at 35 days.
• Boogie is ticked that Britney never washes dishes.
• Well, he rarely washes his hands after using the bathroom!
• So there.
• They speculated on what the coaches comp might be.
• Shane told Frank that Joe told him he should put him (Frank) up.
• Shane also told Frank that his main target is Wil.
• But he won't be making any decisions until after the coaches comp.
• Britney warned Shane to keep tight-lipped about things.
• When Boogie asked Frank how he would feel if he used the save on Ian. (Assuming he wins the coaches comp.)
• Frank doesn't like the idea.
• Not at all.
• Janelle started looking all around the arcade room, unzipping the pillows, etc. She seems to want to get into the ball machine in there.
• The ball machine reminds me of the previous fortune teller.
• But it isn't as ugly.
• Trivia came on, so I'm guessing the coaches comp is underway. 

Somebody take a razor to that thing.

Foot in your mouth, Wil. Not in front of ...

Pure excitement in the house

Looking for a clue

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Into Friday Morning - July 27

Celebrating victory with Froot Loops

So, the power has changed hands once again. Now Shane is Da Man and Britney can breathe easier for a week. What's been happening inside that Big Brother House of Men With Bad Hairdos? Read on ...

• A tip of the hat (or, more likely a jeer) to Willie Hantz as Shane chowed down Froot Loops shortly after his big win.
• Dan advised Danielle that she should team up with Shane -- he'll always be a bigger target than her.
• Ian is the sole Have Not ... for now.
• Danielle told Dan that Shane told her that she had nothing to worry about this week. He had voted to keep JoJo out of loyalty to his team.
• Of course, he's a team of one now -- just like Danielle.
• Jenn feels bad about her performance in the HoH comp.
• She should.
• But Mr. Posturing Joe should feel worse.
• Joe thinks that Shane will nominate himself and Wil.
• Boogie thinks, if all goes right, the nominees will be from Janelle's team.
• Just don't touch my little Ian! (That's what Jackie says.)
• Joe told Jenn that JoJo gave him the cigarettes anyway even though he told her it wasn't worth it to go against the house and vote to keep her.
• But she took the lighters! Bwahahaha!
• Joe ended up rigging the toaster oven outside to light cigarettes.
• Wil and Joe are worried. They think Shane might have a deal with Frank.
• Y'think?
• Joe wants to make a "royal breakfast" for Shane.
• Can you say "suck up"? I thought you could!
• Shane got his HoH room ... complete with Dunkin Donuts!
• Britney, Dan, Danielle and Shane plan to work together.
• But, then again ... they don't know Shane has a side deal with Frank.
• Joe tried to convince Shane he should get rid of Danielle.
• Heehee ... Dan overheard Joe telling Shane that.
• Shane seems to be leaning towards putting one up each from Boogie and Janelle's peeps -- probably Frank and Wil.
• That is subject to change, mind you.
• Plus, he could just be saying that. He might keep loyal to his deal with Frank.
• Then again, he may not.
• Confused yet?
• Britney told Shane that they should work a wedge between Janelle and Boogie this week, pitting them against each other.
• That's it for now! 

HoH crew

Oh noes! The pool is covered!

Come see my HoH room!

Britney reads her letter from home

Big Brother 14: Live Eviction Show Blog Party - July 26

Come one, come all! It's the live eviction show! If I seem strangely silent, it's because I've lost power. I setting this to automatically post, but my power has gone out twice already with severe storms passing through.

If I keep power, I'll update this entry with major news. The real fun is in the comments, though. Come join the fun!

I'm HERE, the power remains!

Cool. Will Kirby is going to make an appearance!

Dr. Will on the coaches! Thinks Boogie is doing well, worries about Boogie's ego. He thinks the other coaches are lackluster. Kermit the Frog and Ryan Seacrest had a baby, it would be Dan. Britney -- put your coach hat on, players evicted for violence. Is Janelle good at strategy? If she loses, three time loser. He thinks Ian will win the game.

America's Vote will be a chance for us to change the game. I predict voting either Kara or JoJo (expected to go go tonight) back in the game.

The nominees speak, then it's time for the live vote. JoJo up first, came planning to lie but that's not who she is, really loyal, making a mistake because they won't make a big move. Danielle loves all y'all, I'd be a great assett, etc.

The vote to evict --
Wil -- JoJo
Joe -- JoJo
Ashley -- JoJo
Commercial time
Shane -- Danielle
Ian -- JoJo
Jenn -- JoJo

I know from the feeds that Shane had already told people he was going to give JoJo a loyalty vote.

Buh-bye, JoJo.

A peek at the HoH comp reveals a winter backyard with the hockey set-up we saw them practicing on in the feeds. "On Thin Ice" has them hitting a hockey ball into numbered slots. Highest number wins.

Shane is the new HoH!

Want to give the coaches the opportunity to stop coaching and put them in play for the half-million dollar prize? It's in your hands.

Sigh.

You can vote by texting, info is online as well as free voting. Texting is a dollar a vote. 

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Update/Willie Hantz Arrested - July 26, 2012

Sleepy hamsters

I hope you're sitting down. The shock might be too much for y'all. Are you ready? Willie Hantz has been arrested. Yep, TMZ has the scoop and the mug shot. Who woulda thunk it?

There's been more action outside the house than inside. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Reality Rejects:

• JoJo is trying defend her actions sticking by Willie last week by saying he's a sociopath and he brainwashed her.
• Of course, the point is moot. She would have to have a brain.
• I know. I know. I'm being mean. I'll stop it.
• Everybody seems to be telling Danielle she's safe.
• Nobody is telling JoJo she's safe.
• They're just kind of nodding their heads and being non-committal with her.
• They piped the BB theme music with suffer with during the feed cuts throughout the house.
• The hamsters had to suffer with it, too.
• Good. It builds character.
• And, we need some kind of characters on the show this season, for sure!
• Dan told Frank he holds Britney responsible as Willie's coach for not putting a muzzle on him.
• I don't think any of them could. She really tried her hardest. Willie should never have been allowed in the house in the first place.
• They cleaned.
• The feeds kept going to trivia and the control room on and off all day, as well as the theme music drowning out some of the conversations.
• Stop back later for the live eviction show blog party! The post will go up shortly before 9pm EDT. 

 

Love is in the house

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds into Thursday - July 26

The girls did Ian's hair

Well, well ... another hamster goes home tonight. Or, more likely, goes into sequester. Here's what happened into the wee hours of the morning in that Big Brother House of Smokes for Safety:

• Janelle wanted to start drama by telling Danielle that JoJo was talking about her.
• Danielle didn't want to confront JoJo because she (Danielle) would cry. She's not good at confrontation.
• As JoJo had earlier said nasty things about Janelle, Janelle trashtalked her.
• Janelle thinks JoJo is a lot like Willie.
• Different accent, though.
• Danielle started to get upset and just shy of crying.
• Frank told her not to worry about JoJo as she'd (JoJo) would be gone in 24 hours.
• As Janelle is talking about JoJo, JoJo is talking about Janelle.
• Meow.
• The indoor lockdown ended and the hamsters found a huge hockey-type platform in the yard.
• They have oversize hockey sticks and balls to try to put in three pockets.
• JoJo had taken her cigarette vote barter back from Joe saying that she wanted to make sure she's here and Janelle doesn't smoke the cigarettes.
• But then she gave them back to him.
• Frank told Joe it will ruffle feathers if Joe sells his vote for cigarettes.
• Joe said he'll give them back, but maybe JoJo will accept some memorabilia instead of a vote for them.
• Janelle thinks Ian might throw this HoH comp so he can win the next one, likely an endurance comp.
• JoJo and Janelle had a "talk." Janelle denied telling everyone she wanted JoJo out of the house. JoJo told her why she should stay in the house.
• Rats. No fur flying.
• Laters!  

JoJo confronted Janelle

Danielle practices for HoH

Dan coaches her on

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Into Wednesday Evening - July 25

Oh my

Oh my gosh. I almost wish Willie was back. I need some sort of excitement! Here's what's been happening (or not) in that Big Brother House of Keep This Up and Ratings Will Plummet:

• Joe and Shane have decided they trust each other more than they trust Frank.
• I wouldn't trust Joe. But, hey Shane ... go for loose cannon paranoid dude. Ain't no skin off my nose!
• Shortly after that conversation, Joe agreed with Wil that Shane or Ian have to be out next.
• Wil will be 25 years old this Saturday. I forget how young these hamsters really are.
• Except for Ian. You can't look at Ian without thinking "child."
• JoJo is getting quite evil in her trashtalking Janelle's looks and surgeries.
• Now, I could do that because I'm not in the house with them.
• But, even though I'm not liking Janelle so much this time around, it's mean.
• Plus, Janelle has power in the game, something JoJo is seriously lacking at this point.
• JoJo once again tried to convince Frank she's good to keep this week over Danielle.
• Britney warned JoJo that she's seen Danielle and Janelle hanging out together a lot this week. She thinks the plan is to get her (Britney) and Dan down to one player each.
• Maybe they're hanging out because Danielle and Janelle rhyme. Did anyone ever stop a moment to consider that?
• Oh? No?
• Danielle asked Jenn what lesbians do during sex.
• Really.
• JoJo worked on Ian. While he said he doesn't know how keeping Danielle could benefit him, he didn't promise anything.
• Frank told Boogie he thinks Dan is throwing all of the coaches comps.
• He is.
• Janelle is ticked because she found out Joe sold out to JoJo for two packs of cigarettes and swore on his kids to her.
• Frank found out that someone indeed go through his bag way back when because they wanted to find proof he was not unemployed.

Big Brother 14: Nominations and PoV Show Blog Party - July 25

Now, tonight's show should be good! I'll update this entry with major events as they air here. However, as always ... the real fun is in the comments area. Come join us!

Nominations key order -- Jenn, Ian, Joe, Wil, Danielle. Shane and JoJo were nominated because they "aligned with Willie."

PoV Player Picks - Frank -- Ian, Shane -- Ashley, JoJo -- Wil. Frank chose Joe as the host.

The PoV was like a fiesta. The competitors were dressed like tortilla chips. They had to go through salsa and dip finding menu items to match a BB menu. Observers had margaritas. Shane wins the Power of Veto!

America's choice for the Have Nots: cereal and salmon, garbanzo beans and giblets, lima beans and lemons.

Veto meeting time -- Shane saves himself (duh). Frank nominates Danielle in his place.
