I apologize for the lack of an update last night after the show. I'm experiencing keyboard issues. You would think I'd be a little more careful with my Coke Zero (my latest addiction).I found out my back-up keyboard likes to type "zzzzzzzz." But I'm all dried out and good to go now. Thankfully, it hasn't been a thrill a minute with earth-shaking developments in the house! Here's the scoop from that Big Brother House of Poop:
- I mentioned before that Michele has what she calls night terrors in her sleep. Before dawn yesterday, she screamed out NO loudly while sleeping. Scary.
- In their late-night early-morning talk, Lydia threw Kevin under the bus to Jessie -- telling him that Kevin is scheming against him and trying to turn the vote around. Argh. Here I thought the Lydia/Kevin double agents for good bit was true and she was really disloyal to Jessie.
- Jessie told Natalie of the Lydia developments. Natalie told Chima.
- Sigh. I had high hopes of Kevin quietly scheming his way through to the end.
- Natalie confronted Kevin about working against them. He denied it and asked where she got her information. She didn't tell him Lydia via Jessie.
- Kevin tried to deflect the blame on Ronnie (who, for once, had nothing to do with anything).
- Chima and Jessie got ticked at Natalie for talking to Kevin about things.
- So Natalie talked to Kevin again, petulant little child she is.
- Kevin told her he's seen Russell and Ronnie scheming as he keeps trying to deflect the attention from himself.
- Casey told the others that people sleep too long in the house. They don't. What they do do is stay up too late. Unlike drunken stay up lates from previous seasons, these folks stay up until 6 AM their time sober half the time. No wonder they sleep late.
- Casey campaigned for Russell's vote. Successful? I doubt it. I think Russell will vote the way Jessie wants him to because, as he says: "I gotta do what daddy says." Double-ew! Jessie as a father figure!
- Casey really worked Russell, concentrating on how he doesn't HAVE to do what Jessie wants. Jessie can't win HOH this coming week and the votes are anonymous in the diary room.
- Their bond (Casey/Russell) grows. After all, they were never enemies in the house.
- Casey wants Russell to flip the house.
- Will it work? I don't think so. I think Russell feels alone in the house -- he personally has no close ally like Jessie or even Natalie does. He only has his clique.
- Casey thinks he has Kevin and Lydia's vote.
- Kevin told Russell he's not voting for Casey to stay.
- Kevin thinks Russell told Jessie and Natalie that he's going after them.
- No, it was his best bud Lydia.
- Russell told Kevin that he doesn't pass on information. In a way, he's right. Russell is more of a listener in these cases than a talker. He occasionally runs to Jessie with info, but others do it more often.
- Natalie told Lydia she won't tell Kevin that she's (Lydia) the one who told her that he's targeting her (Natalie) and Jessie. She said she'd blame it on Casey.
- Casey told Jordan he's campaigning to stay, but he won't say anything bad about her. He honestly likes her and she likes him. But he so wants a chance to stay and get his game on.
- There's friction between Natalie and Chima because Chima thinks Natalie stirred up a lot of trouble with the Kevin talks.
- A minor verbal brouhaha went down as Michele's name got dragged into things as far as spreading rumors.
- It's all a ball of confusion. No one really trusts anyone in the long run.
- The votes could technically go either way. But I think we're still going to see a Casey ouster this week.
- It should have been Ronnie. That little slime is almost invisible with all of the new turmoil within the house. Maybe he IS a good player -- that benefits his game while all the others have new targets for eviction.
- Casey called out Ronnie as a liar again. But really ... it's nothing that everyone doesn't know already. That they haven't acted on it will be their own downfall. Casey should have taken the PoV comp seriously -- if he had, Ronnie might have been on the block.
- They got a golf game with Nerf-type balls. Fun, fun in a house of misery and distrust.
- Russell lied to Jessie and Natalie telling them that Ronnie was throwing them under the bus.
- For once it's someone lying about Ronnie, not Ronnie lying to the world. Ronnie has not been talking about targeting Jessie and Natalie.
- Although it's a strategic move, it casts doubt on Russell in his clique more than it does on Ronnie.
- But maybe ... just maybe ... it casts more of a bad light on Ronnie.
- These hamsters are driving me up the wall. Alliances, false alliances and mysterious bus accidents, oh my.
The show has started here on the East Coast. This post will be updated as it airs, but the real fun is in the comments section. Everyone is welcome, bring your own snacks and beverages! Later tonight my show review will be posted on TV Squad. I should be posting the day's live feeds late tonight.
Jessie and crew decide to backdoor Casey instead of Ronnie. Veto players chose from bag -- Jessie -->Jeff, Michele --> Casey, Jordan --> Chima. There was no houseguest choice pick. Natalie will host.
Michele won PoV, Casey got them a margarita party but has to wear a banana suit for a week, Jessie came in second for the PoV but won $2500.
Veto meeting -- Michele saves herself, Jessie nominates Casey.
Sniffle
I'm hoping the huge announcement that will turn the game upside down Thursday is the end of cliques.
Why does Kevin look like he wishes to be elsewhere? Maybe it's the company he's keeping. In this particular conversation, he was with Ronnie and Natalie.
- The hamsters are bored.
- They talked fast food. Of course, they don't know the Taco Bell chihuahua died last week. They surely would have mentioned that.
- Jeff and Jordan hope the clique thing is dropped this week. So do I.
- Ronnie, a wienie himself, loves his cocktail wienies. Isn't that akin to cannibalism?
- Natalie told Jordan that she will have her vote to stay and she shouldn't worry.
- As Jessie slept in the backyard, Lydia painted his toenails pink.
- He laughed about it later.
- Michele told the athletes about Lydia and company seeking her out. I guess that shows which path she's taking.
- There was some kind of off camera brouhaha with Casey and Russell.
- The feeds got blocked. When they came back the hamsters were abuzz about Casey threatening to punch Russell and being sent to the diary room.
- They wondered if Casey would be thrown out.
- Casey didn't seem bothered by it all. He sang his Banana Suit Song and smoked.
- Lydia seems to seriously want Casey to stay. She really likes Jordan, but thinks Casey would really play the game more.
- I think she's right.
- But I also don't think there's much of a chance that Casey would stay over Jordan this week.
- Ronnie told his athlete cronies that Jordan lies. But he didn't specify anything Jordan has lied about.
- That's all for now ... I expect doldrums until Thursday night.
Tell me these two aren't the next showmance on the horizon -- Chima and Russell.
Here's what's been going down in the Big Brother House of Freaks and Geeks since my last report:
- Ronnie is way too giddy about Casey being evicted while a banana.
- Jessie told Natalie that Lydia is now going to vote Casey out.
- Natalie told Jessie that she doesn't like him talking to Lydia.
- I think we may have to turn this Habitrail around and take them all home!
- Kevin wants Casey to try to stay. He thinks they might be able to get the votes if they can swing Chima and Michele.
- I don't think it's possible.
- Lydia talked to Casey and asked him if he'd go after one of the four (Jessie, Russell, Natalie, Ronnie) if he stays.
- You bet!
- Ronnie thinks they should trick Lydia and Kevin in the next HOH comp and not let them in on the new code.
- How old are these people?
- Casey clowned around in his banana suit, singing songs, and having fun.
- He's sure he has no chance to stay.
- I think he's right. :-(
- Russell hit his head diving into the pool.
- He didn't hit it hard enough to be hauled away.
That's all I've got for you. It's a quiet and subdued house. We need a brouhaha.
Sigh, in bed with the devil. Of course, either one might qualify, eh? They're baby-talking each other. I think I might just be ill. Here are the events so far today from inside that Big Brother House of Bamboozled Bananas:
- Kevin told Lydia that Jessie's crew were only keeping Ronnie for the numbers and they plan to "pick us off one by one."
- Yup, Kevin wins a Twinkie!
- Kevin doesn't necessarily think that he and Lydia are targets. He thinks Michele, Jeff, and Jordan are the targets.
- For all of his observation, Kevin thinks that Chima and Michele are on his side.
- Wrong.
- Natalie doesn't even want Chima THINKING about her.
- Natalie wants to "kick Lydia's ass."
- I think it's grammar school cliques, not high school.
- Kevin, Lydia, and Jordan know they don't have the numbers to save Casey.
- Lydia admitted that she and Kevin had been with the Jessie crew merely for the numbers.
- There's safety in numbers, y'know.
- Jeff and Casey talked about Russell running around like he's running things, but he isn't. They also talked about Natalie wearing Jessie's shirts and riding his coattails (a fashion statement, I suppose).
- Natalie wants Casey out, but she also wants Lydia out.
- Then the PoV meeting (blocked to the feeds) went down.
- Sigh. Casey is on the block in Michele's place.
- "Where is the outrage?" asked Casey.
- Casey told Jordan that he could have won the veto -- he didn't try hard because he thought he was safe.
- Then we're full circle, back to baby talk between Jessie and Lydia.
