Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds Sunday into Monday Morning - July 18

 

McCrae BB15 worked briefly
at Michael's workplace

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Misfit Toys:

• Daniel told the hamsters that his brother was murdered and it remains unsolved. The murder still tears his family apart. His family is very frustrated that the police don't seem to be doing anything.
• I don't care for Daniel in the game, but I do have sympathy for him and his family. That has to be horrible.
• His ally Nicole let him know that she was a cop before she turned into a chef. She has been around murders and the affected families, so she can definitely emphasize.
• There was some talk of Michael using his veto to save Taylor and Joseph going up as the renom and being voted out.
• I doubt that will come to fruition.
• Although it still looks like Taylor will be safe this week and Pooch not so much, the anti-Taylor movement quietly persists.
• In my personal opinion, Taylor did no favors talking about the rumored size of Daniel's um ... you know. And how she wants to do it.
• Gah! National television. International internet! Whatever happened to morals and common sense?
• Plus, to me, Daniel is SO not attractive! He isn't bad done up as Elvis. But ... in the house? Ick.
• Jasmine was given a little support splinty booty thing for her ankle. It's a bad sprain. I bet she was hoping it was worse and she could scooter to a win.
• To make me feel really old, Brittany told Michael she was eleven when she met Shannon from BB2, a friend of her teacher.
• Um. BB2, eh? Well, I wasn't 50 yet, but almost there!
• Michael and Kyle are concerned that the girls are going to come after the guys.
• Huh. Superfan Michael should know that the girls can never work together long enough to really affect the game.
• Especially THIS crew!
• The veto meeting will be later today.
• Right now they are still sleeping because they stay up all freakin' night!
• I don't think Michael will use the veto. The noms should remain the same and Pooch will go out the doggy door.

I have no words

Turner and Alyssa make faces at Pooch

Joe whips Michael and Terrance into shape

Taylor, your sex talk doesn't bode well for you

Just a girl and her pineapple

Big Brother: BB24 HOH Comp, Nominations Show Blog Party - July 17

 

Good evening! Ready for another night of fun and tomfoolery? Although the results of the HOH comp, nominations and even the Power of Veto is known on the live feeds because they're real time, tonight's show will just cover the HOH comp and nominations. I ask that you do not post any live feeds spoilers here on the show post. Thank you!

I found the source of the missing comments from other posts. If it happens again tonight, I can restore any missing comments during the commercial breaks when I'm not actively blogging the show. I don't know the fix, though. Blogger is putting them in the Spam folder!

I will live blog the major events of the show as it airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest news! As always, the real party is in the comments section. I hope to see you there!

Previously on is going over all the various alliances and the worries of the Backstage Pass holders. Oh, geez ... the Paloma tears. Gag me now. Now Jasmine hurt her ankle. Oh, boohoohoo.

We open with them returning from the pre-HOH comp. Taylor is thrilled to be in the house and competing for HOH. Heh. Daniel thinks his HOH meant nothing as all three of his nominees remain in the house. He thinks it makes him a bigger target.

Jasmine has crutches which she is not using right. Others are helping her. She tells us it's only sprained.

Brittany is another one thrilled to still be in the house. As a Backstage Pass holder she had been full of gloom and doom.

Pooch wants Taylor to be targeted again. Indy is upset that she lost the pre-HOH. She hates losing and always feels like she must be the strongest in her family. She is consoled by Taylor. Alyssa is taking strides to get in more with Taylor.

Daniel is dressed in farm gear and announces with a horrible Southern accent that it's time for the HOH comp. It looks like it's set up for a pie-eating comp. @@ We have Taylor, Monte, Michael, Jasmine, Ameerah, Kyle and Joseph competing.

Each round a true or false question about the BB Hotel, search through pie with mouth only for the correct answer. Each round the pie grows.

First round last two eliminated. Sign above dining room table says Color TV. Last two Kyle and Monte too slow, eliminated.

Next round - First three advance. The refrigerator in the kitchen is red. Taylor and Joseph out.

Third round - First two move on. Jasmine, Michael and Ameerah competing. Commercial cliffhanger alert! There are five exercise bikes in the downstairs gym. Ameerah out incorrect answer.

Jasmine and Michael move on to the final round. Jasmine asks Michael to throw the comp to her. She promises him safety. She wants the letter from home. The neon diver over the stairs is wearing a pink bathing suit. 

JASMINE wins HOH!

Jasmine needs to use her hands and arms for the crutches. She is hanging all of her weight on her underarms. They are all cleaning up after the comp.

Michael wants to work with Taylor -- he's glad she's still in the game. Meanwhile, Nicole and Daniel want to gather up a six-person alliance. 

Pooch is still gunning for Taylor. He thinks the best plan to get her out is for him to go up as a pawn, beat her in PoV. He suggests it to Alyssa. She is another claiming superfan and tells us that is a dumb move. Well, duh. Yeah. Anytime volunteering to go on the block is dumb!

Alyssa suggests to her group that they take Pooch up on his offer to go on the block and then just go ahead and vote him out.

Time for a segment on Indy being a sex coach. Looking for ratings, CBS?

Pooch goes to the HOH room and volunteers to go on the block as a pawn, up against Taylor. Jasmine tells us she would be happy if either of them go home. Pooch thinks he's building up some kind of BB resume with this move. Oh my.

Taylor knows she would be an "easy" nomination for Jasmine as she was on the block last week. Jasmine tells her that she will go up as a pawn. Now Taylor is more worried if someone uses the POV.

Time for the Nominations Ceremony. Jasmine wheels out on a knee scooter, promptly drops the nom box. She nominates Taylor, then Pooch. Says Taylor didn't talk game with her, honor first HOH. Pooch, Backstage Boss.  

Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds into Sunday Morning - July 17

 

Alyssa is a bit better without Paloma

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Calamity Cats:

• I honestly don't have a heck of a lot for you.
• The target for eviction turned from Taylor to Pooch and remains on Pooch.
• They think they can always get Taylor out later.
• Turner and the nominees are the only ones not knowing the Oust da Pooch Plan.
• No one is telling him because he's so close to Pooch.
• Yet Pooch doesn't cuddle all over him like he does to Joseph.
• They think Turner will be "broken" without Pooch. 
• Like he's doing anything now!
• Michael won the veto and is likely to do whatever Jasmine tells him to do with it.
• Jasmine does not want to change the nominations but wants to make sure Pooch gets evicted.
• For all tears on the show over Paloma, there has been barely a mention of her on the feeds.
• Ameerah told Indy that Joseph mentioned her (Indy) as a target.
• Okay, Indy is steamed. She wants to spit in his food steamed.
• He's got to go!
• I recall Joseph early on saying he hated how the males in the house went around without their shirts on. He thought it was disrespectful.
• But now he's doing it.
• Mind you, his shirtless top is eye candy, but ...!
• Most are wearing sweatshirts and Terrance even wears a jacket. I think it must be cold in the house.
• The feeds were blocked for a few hours early this morning (their time early, not mine). Nothing seems to have happened. The hamsters were asleep.
• They should have the yard today and no comps or meetings.

Oh my, Indy

Now Taylor isn't the target ... for now

He was a priority last week
and keeps winning veto comps.

Slight Audrey-ism going on, Pooch.

Don't try to kiss up to us!

Turner and Pooch reversed!

Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds, PoV Winner Saturday - July 16

 

He thinks he's hip. Okaay ...

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Drama Llamas:

• Jasmine got a little knee scooter similar to what Christmas had.
• Most of the other hamsters had fun riding it around.
• The target changed from Taylor to Pooch with a new ongoing movement.
• Pooch has no clue.
• Now everyone in the house knows but Taylor, Pooch and Turner.
• Even Joseph, who has been the recipient of Pooch's cuddling knows.
• Jasmine had to have her ankle x-rayed to make sure it isn't broken.
• Broken or not, she's milking this one!
• POV players -- Michael, Terrance and Ameerah in addition to the two nominees and Jasmine.
• Michael won the Power of Veto again.
• He must want that target right back on him! 

Interesting outfit

Bromance

Indy is growing on me

Nicole and Ameerah listen attentively ...

Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds into Friday Evening, Nominations - July 15

 

How I feel ...

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Ankle Twisters:

• As you know from my last post, Jasmine won HOH.
• Don't ask me how.
• She is on crutches from the pre-HOH comp fall and Monte carried her upstairs to her HOH room.
• All I can do is shake my head.
• She did make one smart move to lessen "blood on her hands" when she told the Have Nots to each name a Have Not for the week.
• Joseph picked Nicole, Michael picked Terrance, Kyle picked Daniel, Monte picked Pooch.
• Jasmine has been telling just about everybody that Taylor will be back on the block.
• But, then again, she would also like to split up Pooch and Turner.
• Meanwhile, Pooch offered to be a pawn, not realizing that some would probably vote for him to go.
• Brittany, for one, has a grudge against him for naming her Backstage when her group had no obvious first one out.
• Michael, Nicole and Daniel have also been in Jasmine's ear about Pooch. Alyssa and Ameerah would get on that train, as well.
• From her bed, she's been having meetings with them all.
• After a long feeds block, we return to Taylor and Pooch on the block.

Indy tries to sleep a bit longer

Body language says it all

And, here's your HOH, Leader of the Pack.

Ameerah and Britanny should be safe

Terrance is ready for winter

In other blog news, I found the missing comments. Blogger has been sending random comments to its spam folder.

If it continues I might try making people click the "I am not a robot" captcha to see it that keeps them in. My apologies!

Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds into Friday Morning, New HOH - July 15

 

At least it was a colorful messy comp

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

• The feeds were blocked forever.
• Well, not really forever. 
• But it was long after the West Coast live show that they returned.
• Oh noes!
• The HOH comp players -- Michael, Taylor, Joseph, Ameerah, Jasmine, Kyle and Monte -- were all splattered with colorful paints.
• Jasmine is on crutches.
• Listening to them talk about the comp -- they were talking about letters in their mouths and returning to the cave.
• I just don't know.
• But Jasmine won.
• Yes, Jasmine.
• Monte carried her upstairs to her HOH room reveal while one of the other guys carried her crutches.
• Will they be carrying her up and down all week?
• Is this going to be Christmas once again?
• This is not good news for Taylor as Jasmine said something to the effect of her going right back up on the block.
• Sigh.
• I just don't know ...

Alyssa will be safe, for sure

Kyle is colorful

Non-HOH participants

Brittany looks like a different person!

I'm shocked. Really, now.

Who wants to see my HOH room?

Big Brother: BB24 Live Eviction Show Blog Party - July 14

 

Good evening! Tonight it might not be your typical live eviction night. We already had the mystery of what's going on with the Backstage Pass hamsters. It appears there have been other developments as well. If nothing else, it should be an interesting show.

I will live-blog the major events as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest update. As always, the real party is in the comments area -- I hope to see you there!

But first ... a blog pool reminder from Lifeguard SueGee:

Alyssa          - JonMD1267, Auntie Leigh, SueGee, Gibby in MI
Ameerah    - Jennifer S, Joanne Victoria, Jackie
Brittany    - Judi Sweeney, MikesGirl, Tilde, YoDave

Indy    - Brenda, JamieNJ, Krysta
Jasmine       - Sharon N, Babs, tbc

Here we go!

Julie has a summery dress on, reminds us of "expect the unexpected" and tells us that's even more so tonight. Then we go into "previously on" and here we are.

The narrator tells us emotions are high and a shocking announcement rocks the game.

Julie tells us the Backstage twist has been changed due to events and apparently won't culminate tonight. Taylor cries. She doesn't like to feel unwelcome. Paloma tells us she feels sorry for Taylor. Yeah, right. Then she plays up to Taylor in tears herself. @@

Taylor picks up that Paloma may not be 100% on her side. She is determined to see who she offended and rubbed the wrong way. She tries to straighten things out with Monte. He tells us he's still with Paloma, though. Huh? Paloma tells Taylor that she would rather go to bed than to hear her explain herself.

Going into commercial, Julie confirms one houseguest unexpectedly exited.

Girls, Girls is expanding to Girls, Guys ... Kyle, Monte, Pooch along with Paloma, Alyssa and Ameerah. Then Paloma decides to recruit Michael. He is leery but agrees.

Brittany is still concerned about Backstage. She wants to get in good with Pooch in case he has the power to save one of them. Pooch runs to Joseph and Ameerah telling them that Brittany said that Ameerah wants to put him on the block. Ameerah and Jasmine confront Brittany. She knows Pooch ratted her out.

An emotional series of events leads into an unexpected departure and an unprecedented announcement to the houseguests. Another pre-commercial teaser.

Back -- BB House can be difficult. Paloma isn't sleeping more than a few hours a night. She locks herself in the bathroom stall crying. Her anxiety is running amok. Alyssa tells Joseph that Paloma told her to vote her out today. They are all getting worried about her. Paloma goes to the Diary Room.

Daniel calls everyone to the living room. "Due to a personal matter, Paloma will no longer be in the Big Brother game." She loves you and wishes you the best. Oh, geez. They're all in tears.

Julie tells us that America voted to keep Brittany safe. With Paloma gone, this is affecting tonight's eviction and the Backstage twist. There would have been a battle between Backstage and a hamster. The loser goes home immediately. Since Paloma was in Backstage, so this changes. Brittany and Alyssa are now safe. Both nominees are safe.

They have to head out to the backyard for the HOH comp.

Backyard is full of giant size instruments. Only seven can play, seven head-to-head race. "Bye Bye Backstage" Race across obstacle course to stage, hit button.

Pooch and Michael first - random draw - Michael wins.

Taylor and Alyssa - Taylor wins.

Indy and Joseph - Joseph wins.

Brittany and Ameerah - Ameerah wins.

Jasmine and Terrance - Jasmine. I thought she touched her foot at one point, then she fell after winning. May be hurt. They confirmed she did not touch.

Kyle and Turner - Kyle wins.

Monte and Nicole - Monte wins.

The winners advance to the HOH comp which is not going to be shown on the show until Sunday. It will probably play out sometime tonight blocked to the live feeds.

Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds Overnight into Thursday - July 14

 

Adoption, not eviction!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Who Went Missing:

• Yes, this isn't my normal more lengthy report.
• Yes, that's a cat.
• No, the cat is not in the BB House.
• But we went to adoptable animals yesterday evening.
• They're usually reserved for when feeds are down for comps and such.
• We STILL have adoptable animals this morning.
• There is no comp.
• Fairly reliable sources say Paloma is gone.
• Whether self-evict or removal, it's not known.
• Apparently, while Taylor went around one to one apologizing, talking, trying to keep herself in the house ... something went down with Paloma.
• We saw nothing more than Paloma's usual manic discussions which leave my head spinning.
• That's all I have for you.
• If Paloma is indeed gone (which it seems she is), I doubt the feeds will return until after tonight's live show.

Taylor worked on the crowd

Big Brother: BB24 Power of Veto Show Blog Party - July 13

 

Good evening. I hope everyone is comfy in air conditioning. Although it's been hot and humid here in the NJ/NYC Metro area, we're cool compared to a lot of the country.

Tonight is the Power of Veto Show. Remember, the Backstage hamsters cannot compete in any comps. That would be Pooch, Brittany, Alyssa and Pesky Paloma. Michael and Terrance have been nominated for eviction.

I will be live-blogging the major events of the show as it airs here on the East Coast. Please don't post any spoilers from the live feeds in the comments of this show post! That said, the real party (without spoilers) is in the comments section -- I hope to see you there!

Previously on and blah, blah, blah.

Ah, they admit that "almost immediately Paloma didn't like Taylor." She forms a girls alliance sans Taylor. Heh. Paloma thinks Newark is the happiest place on earth. I don't think so. I live near there. 

Michael tries to talk to Daniel. He tells us he will get his revenge although he's being nicey-nice to Daniel. Meanwhile, Daniel sees right through his act.

Daniel tells Terrance that his heart is breaking over nominating him. Now, if it upset him that much, why did he put him on the block? Put the only older guy on the block as a pawn? Not a good idea!

Taylor is putting on a fashion show. The guys are enjoying it and it gives the mean girls more of a reason to target her. Mind you, fashion shows are not my thing. But it's not something that would make me target someone for eviction in the BB House.

Michael wants to shop around for allies in the veto comp. No one seems to want to commit. He understands that if he wants the veto, he will have to win it for himself.

Time to pick players for the veto comp. Daniel draws Indy. Michael draws Turner. Terrance draws Ameerah.

Heh, Michael, talking to himself/us, asks WWJD? What would Janelle do? Janelle has to be thrilled with him.

Veto comp time! It's like a Medieval Faire. Kyle hosts. Head-to-head bouts. Knights jousting kind of thing. They have to collect rings with their "lances." No real horses! 

Turner and Indy up first.  Indy two rings, Turner one. Second pass -- Indy is up to three, Turner still has just one. Last pass, Indy wins five to one. Turner eliminated.

Ameerah and Terrance. First pass -- Ameerah three, Terrance zero. Pass two -- Ameerah remains at three, Terrance is up to two. Third pass -- with a final score of seven to two, Ameerah wins the bout.

Daniel and Michael. First pass -- Daniel one, Michael three. Second pass -- Daniel is up to four, Michael five. Third pass -- Michael wins with a total of nine to seven.

Ameerah versus Indy in the second round. Ameerah twelve, Indy six.

Michael versus Ameerah. On the first pass, they each have three rings. Second pass -- they each add five, so it's eight rings each. Last pass -- they tie at four more each. Sudden death time! Michael gets four more while Ameerah clocks in with three.

MICHAEL wins the Golden Power of Veto, says this one is for Janelle ... and his fiancé at home.

The girls talk girls alliance. They are concerned the guys are working together. Well, um. Oh my, they even talk to Taylor about it. She isn't that paranoid about the guys -- tells us it's too early to worry about that. Paloma tells us she just can't talk to Taylor because "she's not a girls girl." Hmm.

Taylor tells Monte, Michael and a few others about Paloma saying she wants to target the guys. Of course, now Paloma, when she gets wind of it, vows to ruin Taylor. Joseph thinks Paloma's lie defending herself is the truth. Gah.

Paloma tells her girls that Taylor is spreading lies about her. Jasmine believes her. But Ameerah hopes she is telling the truth. Hmm. Monte thinks Taylor lied about Paloma saying she wanted to target two "big players." GAH! Everyone is believing Paloma's lies! Nicole is skeptical but tells us the house does have an issue with Taylor.

Taylor tries talking to Daniel. Now, Daniel told us he's leaning towards her because "the whole house wants her out." That would be the least amount of "blood on his hands." He admits to her that some had brought her name up.

Taylor cries to herself. She's worried that she will be on the block. She had been feeling secure.

Time for the veto meeting. Naturally, Michael saves himself. Daniel nominates Taylor in Michael's place. He says it's because she's been rubbing the house the wrong way although he himself has no problem with her. Hmm.

Taylor cries. Terrance is confident he will not be going home.

Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds into Wednesday Morning - July 13

 

Jasmine does not rock my socks

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Pesky Paloma:

• More and more people are catching onto Paloma's non-stop manic ways.
• Even Paloma's buddy Alyssa is warning others to be careful what they say to Paloma because Paloma will twist it and blow it up.
• I myself can't listen to her more than five minutes before my head starts spinning.
• I swear that girl needs some kind of meds!
• Indy has come into her own. While she might be more familiar with Brazilian BB and the way it's played, she isn't scared to speak up.
• She wants to know just what Taylor did to upset people.
• Plus she actually schooled Paloma when Paloma asked Taylor what the proper term for Black people is these days.
• "Google it! It's not Taylor's job to educate you!"
• Yay, Indy!
• I don't know. I think it's a rude question. I know quite a few people who refuse to identify as African- American because they have no Africa ties. But they are indeed Black. 
• It's not a question I would ask. The only time I've discussed it is when friends brought it up. Yeah, they're Black, some African-American, some not.
• Brittany is a bundle of paranoid nerves. She's worried about what will happen with the Backstage Pass people. 
• She might want to worry more about her name being thrown about as a target next week.
• So far Taylor, Brittany and Alyssa have had crying jags.
• So much for a strong woman alliance.
• Maybe next season sans Paloma, the Stirrer.

Mr. Boss Man ... um, well.

Stop making duck lips at us!

Shades of Home Alone with 16

Indy is now defending Taylor

Macho macho men ...

Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds into Tuesday Morning - July 12

 

Too late to be nice to Taylor now

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Gullible Gophers:

• As you know from my last post, Taylor was the renom when Michael saved himself with the Power of Veto.
• We all knew that would happen.
• Taylor knew it would happen, too. She has no clue WHY, though.
• I'll just look at Paloma and point.
• Of course, Paloma is all of a sudden acting like Taylor's confidante and BFF.
• I can't understand that they're not seeing Paloma for what she is -- poison.
• Well, wait ... it seems to be slowly dawning on some that something is off with her -- Monte and Kyle spoke of it.
• Joseph, Brittany, Michael and Nicole seem the most understanding towards Taylor.
• Brittany is a bundle of nerves over the Backstage bit.
• Monte talked to Taylor. Hmm ... now he wants to be understanding? I don't think so. He's a lot like Paloma but far less manic.
• So far, I'm not thrilled with anyone in the cast.
• Joseph seems the most likable. But being a good guy doesn't give you much credit in the BB House.

Kyle is there but basically invisible

I'm not thrilled with either Jasmine or Turner

Joe consoles Brittany

Block party?

Here, Pooch, that's a good boy!

Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds POV Meeting Bulletin - July 11

 

Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat ...

Well, well, well. Totally predictable. Expected the expected. Daniel first put the oldest guy in the cast on the block and a gay guy. Now he buys what the house is selling and puts up Taylor as the renom when Michael took himself down. Now, Daniel himself balked at putting up two Black people but did it anyway.

And, rubbing salt in the wound -- PALOMA who started the anti-Taylor brigade due to what seems like petty jealousy -- is now trying to be her best friend, claiming they're family and all. Gag me now. Taylor is in tears.

Shut up, Paloma. YOU did this to her!
