Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Report into Friday Evening 7/10

Jeff has a friend. Is it a showmance?

Well, as I watch the feeds, it's apparent that the "sore loser" Allison Grodner and Julie Chen alluded to in interviews must be Chima. While the nominations went down before the feeds came on, there's been a lot of talk about her reaction to being nominated.

What's been happening in that Big Brother House of Dim (energy-saving!) Bulbs?

• Natalie admitted her age. She told Jessie she worked at Home Depot for five years, and recently started with Blockbuster. Her boss is "cool" and let her take the time to be on the show.
• Jessie is friendly with Lydia and feels bad about nominating her. He told her she should have come to him before the nominations. (Is my memory correct in thinking that same sort of scenario happened during his season and it became drama?)
• For some reason, Lydia and Casey were surprised Jessie didn't nominate Michele for eviction.
• Chima seems to turn a lot of the folks off. She's a braggart. Um ... can we all say "Jessie" at the same time so it can be heard around the world?
• They picked players for the veto comp. Lydia picked Jeff while Chima picked Natalie. Jessie is with the Neck ... love Russell, whatever.
• They were given a dictionary to study.
• I learned from Braden (who can't put a sentence together properly) that there are 300 species of turtles.
  
• Ronnie threw Lydia under that proverbial reality TV bus with Chima -- telling Chima everything Lydia's ever said about her.
• Chima mad.
• Ronnie and Natalie told Chima that Lydia is a snake in the grass. (Not to be confused with a turtle on the turf.)
• Ronnie thinks that if someone uses POV to save Chima, Jordan should be put up as that would mean Lydia would be voted out.
• Jessie is upset that Chima chose Natalie for POV. He wants her (Chima) out this week and considers Natalie a strong competitor.
• The Muscle Boys have become a single brick wall.
• Nothing major going on as I get this posted. I expect the POV will be played later tonight.
  

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

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.
