Big Brother 11 7/14 Blog Party Post

The show has started here on the East Coast. This post will be updates as it airs, but the real fun is in the comments section. Everyone is welcome, bring your own snacks and beverages!

Oh, Russell is way too cocky! The body buddies realize they've lost Jeff (not that they ever really had him) and have enlisted Laura ... who sees right through them.

Veto Players - Jessie/Russell, Chima/Natalie, Lydia/Jeff

Pop Goes the Veto ... popping pimples on a giant face, retrieving two-sided tiles with letters, ten minutes, biggest word speller wins. Russell won with "shotgun." He's even more cocky now.

Russell saved Lydia due to her working her mojo on the athletes. Jessie put Braden on the block, thanks to Lydia throwing Braden under the bus.

Big Brother 11: Live Feeds Through the Day Tuesday 7/14

They always look so darn excited in my screen caps.

Here's what's been going on inside that Big Brother House of Riff and Raff:

• Braden campaigned to Jessie trying to stay. He thinks he's more centered and that Chima can be scary.
• I think Russell can be scary, but he's staying!
• Jessie immediately reported Braden's campaigning to Russell and Casey.
• After he was the topic of conversation the good part of last night, I can't see Braden swaying the vote.
• Russell is telling people it's a bad idea to nominate him (Russell) as he will win comps and it will only put a target on their backs.
• Lydia is hanging out a lot with Jessie. Eek.
• In bed. Double eek.
• Jordan is hanging out with Ronnie ... not in bed.
• Yawn.
  

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Into Tuesday Dawn 7/14

It's going for 3 AM their time and the hamsters are still up. In the backyard, we have Jessie, Natalie, Kevin, Casey, and Lydia talking about Braden. Not good things, mind you. They're talking about him being a pathological liar. They say they're tired of his stories. Casey thinks he's been telling them so long that he believes them himself.

Here's what's been going on in the BB11 House of Restless Rodents:

• They're calling Braden a "one-upper." Apparently whatever someone has done, he has a better story.
  
• BB gave them alcohol, but this group doesn't seem to have the over-imbibers of past seasons.
• They talked graphically about sex.
  
• They're irked that Braden said "congratulations" instead of "thank you" when they offered him a place at the dinner earlier in the evening.
• This season has no particular cook -- they all pitch in. Except for a selected few, that is.
• Russell and Laura think that Captain LurksALot (Ronnie) talks game way too much.
• The Brains could finally eat real food at midnight.
• Ronnie claims he feels human once again.
• No one is drunk. Most are awake and talking about whomever isn't in their little group. I don't mean clique ... except the Brains.
  
• Neither Chima or Braden seem to really fit in with the majority of the house. But the overall feeling is that they want Braden out more.
  

Big Brother 11: Live Feeds Into Monday Evening 7/13

Lydia naps in the hammock.

Gee, since the brouhaha earlier today, nothing much is going on. As I post this, Braden and Jeff are playing pool, Lydia is in the hammock, and the rest of the hamsters are gathered in the kitchen all talking at once ... which makes conversation hard to follow! Here's the way skinny skinny on happenings in the house since my last update:

• Chima likened the Have Not sleeping conditions to waterboarding. She said if she knew she'd be sleeping on metal, she wouldn't have come on the show.
• I have no sympathy for her. I'd never go on the show because hamsters have to do such stupid things, eat slop, humiliate themselves in public, and be torn apart by snarky bloggers.
• All of the girls except Natalie dressed up for dinner. She wore her standard sweats.
• And, that's about it.
• We need a bigger and better brouhaha!
  

Jeff seems to have a Jason Bateman thing going on in this screen cap.

Big Brother 11: Live Feeds Monday Into the Afternoon 7/13

Can't you see the excitement on Jordan's face? It's another exciting and fun day in the Big Brother 11 house. Or not. They really should do something to liven the place up a bit. Every year it's off to a slow start, so I'll give 'em the benefit of the doubt ... for now.

Here's what's happened since my last report:

• First, remember that Russell won the PoV, used it to save Lydia. It's now Chima and Braden on the block.
• Braden gave up his job and apartment to go on the show. He has $1000 in the bank. (Well, if he gets the boot this week, I believe he'll receive a few weeks stipend at $750 a week for his time in sequester and in the house.)
• Jessie continues to talk trash about Jeff.
• Jeff continues to talk trash about Jessie.
• Lydia is getting chummy with Jessie. I have lost any respect I had for her.
• She told him that she feels she can't talk to anyone.
  
• Russell likes to look at himself in mirrors. Surprise, surprise! Who woulda thunk it?
• They exercised ... well, most of them did.
• It's the last day for the Brainy Bunch to be Have Nots.
• Jordan asked Ronnie and Casey if her chest looked like "big fake boobs." They said no. She proceeded to tell them she was a 32A before her surgery. Why do people feel compelled to tell these kind of details?
• They think the next comp will be mental, probably a true or false game.
• Jordan wishes the season wasn't high school cliques and that there was more diversity in ages.
• Now I like Jordan again. I'll forgive her boob talk.
• Braden and Jeff think that Lydia's been telling lies to the HOH crew and that's why she was taken off the block.
• Jeff is a true outsider in his clique.
• Braden accused Lydia of lying and it was brouhaha time! Yay!
• Kevin got involved, Braden called him a "beaner." Then Lydia screamed that Braden is a racist.
• Then there were fisticuffs. A shot rang out. The maid screamed!
• Jeff tried to calm things down and told Braden his "beaner" comment was out of line.
• But then Lydia and Jordan started screaming at each other. Lydia and Jordan had been close. But when Jordan cried at Braden going on the block when she hadn't cried about her (Lydia) going up ... well, that got under her skin.
• Jordan said she didn't cry because she knew that Lydia would be safe.
• Lydia is also upset that Jeff didn't defend her. Jordan told her to take that up with Jeff.
• In cursing about Jeff, she referred to him as a "gringo." Um.
  
• Kevin got in the brouhaha yelling at Jeff that he never talks to him.
• Jeff said he thought they were cool.
• Jeff yelled at Lydia, though. He yelled that she sold them all out.
• Lydia stomped off to the HOH room claiming that "Lydia was closed for the day."
• Braden tried to apologize to Kevin for the "beaner" comment.
• Kevin refused to accept the apology.
• Kevin told Jordan if she hangs out with Braden, they (Kevin and Jordan) are no longer cool.
• Yes, I tell you ... it's high school all over again!
• Jordan cried.
• Kevin apologized to Jeff.
• Jordan told Russell that everyone is scared of his group and no one wants to stand up against them.
• Now they're all in either the yard or house hanging out in cliques within and without cliques.
