Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Report - Into Friday Morn 7/10


It's nearly 6 AM here on the East Coast and Natalie and Jessie are talking about everyone. Somehow, Natalie talks like a guy. Jessie is still full of himself. They're talking the order for the keys in Jessie's nominations. Here's the skinny from the overnight:
  • Chima and Lydia are on the block.
  • Lydia and Jordan were given slinky nightgowns and had a girly-girly time of it. No, no sex. Or "boogering" as Jordan would say.
  • Before the feeds were live last night, they had already had the "have/have not" competition which takes the place of the food comp this year.
  • Brains were out quick in that one. They call it the neon competition.
  • Ronnie says they lost because they (the brains) over-think everything.
  • Jeff and Lydia talked about the upcoming veto comp. Jeff doesn't think it should be used if won. Lydia would save herself if she wins -- Jeff agrees with that thought.
  • Lydia seems to fit in better with the others than Chima if the noms remain the same.
  • Lydia thinks Jessie is attractive. Eww. My opinion of her sunk tremendously just now.
  • Jessie and Lydia pinky-sweared they wouldn't nominate each other. Of course, Jessie has ALREADY nominated Lydia.
  • They confirmed that the HOH will be on Twitter. So much for no outside contact, eh?
  • As Lydia gets close to Jessie, she also gets close to Jeff. She might be one to watch this season.
  • Lydia cried. Shades of Amber?
  • Natalie says that Braden is a loose cannon and that Jordan has him wrapped around her finger.
All in all, they're not an earth-shaking group so far. I'm sick of listening to Jessie. He just told Natalie that his parents make 40K a year combined. I'm sure they want that out there on the Internets, eh? He's bragging about his own income and how he doesn't want to be like them.

Also ... my show review post is up at TV Squad.

BB11: Feed Me, Feed Me!


At 12:03 AM ET, this is still what we see on the feeds (accompanied by the horrid theme music). They lie! How can they be right back when they haven't been here yet? I'll update this post when they come on.

Okay, they're on.




Lydia and Chima are nominated for eviction. This, of course, happened before tonight's show and the live feeds.



I'll be gathering fodder for the early morning feeds report. If you're watching the feeds, feel free to talk about them here ... until I get enough for a real report.

Bulletin: So You Think You Can Dance 7/09 Results Bulletin

Caitlyn is going home.
Phillip Chbeeb is out.

Nigel announced that both Phillip and Caitlyn will be on the tour.

Big Brother 11 Season Premiere Party ... er, Post

Big Brother 11 Blog Logo

It's here! The show has started here on the East Coast. This entry will be updated as events air. However, the big party will be in the comments and you're all invited!

They're a bed short so two of the girls are doubling up to give Jeff a bed with them in the pool room. They've introduced themselves to each other. The gals really are taken with Jeff.

A bit of cattiness in their Diary Room comments to us about others. I wonder how the 13th person will fit if they're already short a bed. Hmmm ...

Cliques assigned, it's HOH time. The entire clique is safe if one wins HOH.
HOH comp is The Wedgie -- giant granny pants, hanging onto toilet seats. If last member loses it, the whole clique is out. But the winner won't win HOH. There are four un-named previous HG apparently also assigned to cliques. Whichever clique wins, that person will be HOH. I fear Jessie.

The four ex possibles are Cowboy BB5, Jessica BB9, Brian BB10, and Jessie BB10.

Brains out first, no Brian. Off-Beat out second, no Cowboy. It's between Jessica and Jessie to return. Two of each clique still wedgie-ing.

Athletes win ... Jessie will be the new HOH. Sigh.

Tonight, Tonight ... it's a Big Brother Night


While the Plainfield (NJ) Police Department seems to be more interested in Sanford and Son ... we're going to be here for the Big Brother 11 premiere tonight!

I'd like to welcome back those folks returning to the blog, welcome the new folks, and give a thank you to those who hang around all year long.

If you're new here, here's how we do what we do --

On show nights, I open up a live-blogging post in which I post the major show happenings as they air East Coast time. During the show, everyone is invited to share their thoughts in comments and we have a grand old party there. So, tonight ... expect the first show post of the season to be up at 8:00 PM ET.

Later tonight, I'll write up my actual show review for TV Squad. I'll generally zap a post up with a link after it's live.

Then there are the live feeds
TV Squad decided not to have me cover the live feeds there, so all content will be here on this blog. Since I do also have to work for a living, my feed reports don't post on every breath taken by the hamsters. I have more of a Reader's Digest condensed approach in which I tell what I deem to be the most important or things which really caught my attention on the feeds for some reason or another.

I usually post feed reports three times a day (all based on East Coast time) -- late evening, early morning, and early evening. If it's not a workday for me or if a comp is being held or something just HAS to be reported, there may be more posts in a day.

I take screencaps and post them here (once the feeds are up). This season the feeds have a flashback feature which is way nifty keen. I can check out what I missed. I might occasionally post some video. However, any video of the feeds I post will probably be short and sweet, kept to the 30 second fair use limit as YouTube and Real Networks are said to be clamping way down on the live feeds video. We'll see how that goes.

So, everyone get on your party hats, bring your snacks and beverages ... the show post will be up at 8:00 PM ET! See you there!
