Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Into Thursday Pre-Dawn 7/30

Kevin tries to get Lydia to open her eyes about Jessie.

It's been basically a snoozefest in the house of hamsters. In the past 24 hours, about the biggest news has been Russell accidentally hitting Lydia in the head with a ball. And, that wasn't even the big news -- her reaction to being hit in the head would be the scoop.

Here are the bits and pieces which caught my attention since my last live feeds report:

• Russell thinks Ronnie has been talking game with Kevin and Lydia. He reminded him that he took part in saving him this week and doesn't want to think it was a mistake to trust him.
• Ronnie ran to Jessie and company telling them what Russell said.
• Of course, Ronnie does these things to make Jessie and company think he's more valuable to them than Russell is.
• When Russell told Jessie about the conversation, Jessie didn't like the idea that Ronnie "swore on the bible" that they didn't talk game.
• Jessie thinks Kevin is a bigger threat than Lydia. Well, duh.
• Russell said that if he gets HOH, he wants to nominate Ronnie and Lydia. Um, okay. I'll believe it when I see it.
• I think someone, anyone, should nominate Natalie.
• Natalie would like to get Russell on the block. But Jessie told her that since he thinks he's fooling them (false loyalty), it would be better to go after Lydia and Kevin.
• Jessie's mother actually washed his mouth out with a bar of soap when he was young while Jordan's parents used the paddle. Now, I know I don't like Jessie, but I bet he's polite to strangers and holds the door open for others.
  
• Jeff thinks only sloppy people wear Crocs.
  
• Grr. I bought some not-Crocs last year for my surgery recovery. I don't wear them often, but ... dang, they're comfortable.
• Jeff and Casey have both worked for UPS in the past.
• Not together, mind you.
• Michele is still not allowed to use the computer in her parents' home because they caught her looking at porn as a teenager.
• Michele also talked about um ... pleasuring herself daily.
• Who woulda thunk it?
• Lydia made trash bag pants and top for Natalie.
• Kevin almost made it onto Survivor. He got booted in the finals.
  
• Ronnie is sure that America loves the cliques twist.
• Ronnie is a doofus.
• Russell told Chima that Lydia wants her out. I really don't think she does so much other than process of elimination. She's not thrilled with Chima, but she isn't a big target either.
• Jordan and Casey packed.
• Casey couldn't find his suitcase and said he'd pack a trash bag.
• Apparently production misplaced his suitcase.
• I personally would say that means he has to stay!
• Jessie and Natalie had a pillow fight. He accidentally hit her hard on the leg and she cried. He thinks she overreacted but got her an ice pack. He was worried that BB would be upset with him for hitting her.
• Lydia continues to throw Kevin under the bus to Jessie and Natalie.
• Jessie, Natalie, and Lydia are in the HOH room STILL awake as I get this typed up.
• Jessie is droning on and on.
• And on.
• Very little game talk.
  

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Daytime Wednesday 7/29

I so long for this eviction to be over, a new HOH in place, and whatever the big announcement is. I'm assuming it will be the disintegration of the cliques or, at the very least, some sort of shuffling. Here are today's happenings from that Big Brother House of People I Don't Want Living in MY House:

• Natalie thinks Lydia and Kevin will vote to keep Casey just to keep their clique together.
• Small talk, breakfast prep, some exercise.
• Boring.
• Boring.
• Lydia got mad because Russell accidentally hit her in the head with a ball.
• Jessie got his HOH camera, lots of muscle posing and fake smiley faces.
• Ronnie pointed out to Jessie that Russell really has no enemies in the house.
• Russell has improved in that aspect. If others decide to go against the athletes (ever), they'll go for Jessie and Natalie first.
• More small talk -- if people will recognize them when they get out of the house, who's popular or not (Ronnie thinks people will love or hate him -- he's half right).
• Jessie and Natalie think Ronnie is more loyal to them than Russell.
• They're probably right.
• A whole lotta nuthin; going on today.
  

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Into the Dawn Wednesday 7/29

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.
  

Big Brother 11 Blog Party Post 7/28 Show

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.

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Overnight Into Tuesday Dawn 7/28

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.
