Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Overnight Into Wednesday 8/19

Gosh, this is the most wrapped-up and clothed Big Brother ever. Has California been having a record cold wave or what? I'm just as happy not to see nearly naked people all the time, but these folks act like it's November in New Jersey.


And here is little lying mastermind. I don't care for her. But if she successfully convinces everyone and stays in the game, she just might win it all. And, if it gets to that point, I'd have to give her kudos for playing everyone.

Yes, I feel that Jordan and Jeff just could be falling under the spell of Natalie. Scary, eh? I can't understand how anyone thinks a woman who calls other women "dude" is an upstanding ally. Yeah, I'm nitpicking, dudes. Here's the latest from that Big Brother House of All the Young Dudes:

• Michele has become increasingly paranoid and was crying on and off.
• She finally talked to Jeff, bringing up odd things like she thought he said "Colt 45" when he actually said, "Good night, talk to you in the morning."
• He consoled her and reaffirmed that she's in with him and Jordan.
• Jeff claimed he has no clue what Colt 45 is and wouldn't have said it.
• I'm trying to remember if it's a beer or a gun myself.
  
• Jeff and Russell talked. Russell said if the noms remain the same, the strategical choice to to home would be Natalie. Jeff agreed.
• They both know that if Kevin wins the veto and takes Lydia off, either Russell or Michele will go up.
• They're all trying to figure out the show and comps schedule.
• So are we, the viewers.
• Jeff thinks that Russell isn't being 100% honest with them (himself and Jordan).
• Michele keeps planting more anti-Russell seeds once again.
• So much for their final two plan (Russell and Michele) ... or, is it all to throw folks off?
• Natalie apologized to Lydia for fighting with her but reminded her that Jessie is an ass if she goes to the jury house.
• Jordan's in a quandary. She knows either Michele or Russell is lying about things like targeting them, but can't figure out which one.
• The Kevin and Natalie lies about Russell targeting Jeff have really taken seed and sprouted.
• Russell mocked a man who will go around wearing a shirt with his own picture on it.
• Well, he does have a point there!
• They talked of Chima disposing of Little Jeff (the clay figure) in the storage room trash.
• Jeff thinks Little Jeff had an escape plan out of the house.
• Michele and Russell are still together (or are they?) -- they talked about how Russell is worried because Jordan is acting like she's having second thoughts. They think Russell will have the edge in an endurance comp if they can get Jeff to keep exercising and wear himself down some beforehand.
• Jeff told Jordan everyone is lying and she shouldn't be so nice to the other side because they haven't had their backs for the entire game so far.
• Jeff wants to confront Russell and Michele, yet he doesn't want to as he doesn't want a blow-up. They have conflicting stories. Who's lying?
• They played cards forever. And a day. Take those cards away, BB!
• Natalie came across as quite the pro for her tender years. She talked of playing in tournaments.
• Isn't the age 21 for tournaments? Danger, Will Robinson, danger!
• Jordan told Michele that she might trust Kevin more than Russell.
• Michele says that Russell might want Kevin gone because he could easily replace him in the final four scenario.
• Jordan and Michele confirmed their final three deal -- Jeff, Jordan, and Michele.
• But what of the final two pact between Russell and Michele?
• Meanwhile, Jeff and Natalie bonded. Oh, make it be just for show! Make it be not real! Jeff, DANGER! DANGER!
• Uh-oh. My warnings aren't working.
• Natalie is working her way into the Michele, Jeff, and Jordan circle.
• Say it ain't so!
• I'd rather Kevin work himself in there than Natalie!
• Natalie gave them her word that if they save her this week, she will be with them all the way.
• DANGER! DANGER! DANGER, WILL ROBINSON! DANGER!
• OMG, it's ridonculous (as Kevin would say).
• Maybe Natalie will usurp the position of the true puppetmaster from Dr. Will.
• Jordan and Jeff are totally buying into her act.
• I feel a bit ill.
• My show review was posted at TV Squad in the wee hours. Give it a gander if you wish!
  

Big Brother 11: Chima Blow Out Show Blog Party

The show has started here on the East Coast. This post will be updated with major events 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.

Are you ready for the Chima meltdown?

Mic thrown in pool, refusing commands. Allison Grodner herself called her to the DR and told her there was no need to sit ... "go out this way." Um, I call she got the boot even though she was saying she wanted to quit.

It's scary that Lydia is being the voice of reason with Natalie over it.

Since Michele's nominee Chima left, they're playing for HOH. It was a comp in which they could take prizes won by those eliminated before them. Jordan won and snagged the HOH key from Lydia -- Jordan is the new HOH. And Lydia is one mad little so-and-so.

Jordan nominated Lydia and Natalie.

It sounds like Thursday might be an endurance ... they said POV, eviction and "start of another HOH." We'll see!

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Tuesday Daytime 8/18

OMG, I made my bed, now I must lie in it.

As I get this posted, we still have no POV comp. I don't know what's up with that, neither do the hamsters. Here are the non-events from today in the Big Brother House of Bored Bimbos and Manly Mimbos:

• Lydia complained about there being no music for the wake-up call.
• Michele talked with her re-buddy (kind of like re-gifting) Russell. She's very upset that people were talking about her as she slept and that Jeff actually played cards with Lydia.
• Russell told her they're still partners and that Kevin, Lydia, and Natalie are just buttering up Jeff and Jordan as they expected.
• Both Michele and Russell feel like they're on the fringes of Jeff and Jordan, nowhere near solid with them.
• As they should feel.
• Russell told Michele that she's the strongest woman in the house this season, not Chima or Natalie.
• Michele and Russell agreed to keep apart for most of the day as they don't want to look like they're together.
• But they are.
• Natalie got her phone call from her father (won last Friday). She told Lydia both she and her father cried.
• But she told Jeff she never cries. She told Jeff she didn't cry about Jessie at the "wake," either.
• But she did cry then.
• She cried as she told Kevin and Lydia about the call.
• But I'm sure she'll deny it.
• Natalie, Lydia, and Kevin decided they won't mention Jessie's name anymore as it just causes problems between them.
• So they keep mentioning his name.
• Natalie told Jeff he's hot.
• But she has indeed said that before ... just not to Jeff.
• Hopefully POV will be sometime soon. But chances are we won't know the results for hours.
• Please stop back for the show blog party starting at 9 PM ET -- there will be a new post up and everyone can party in comments!
  

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Into Tuesday Dawn 8/18

Here's the scoop from inside that Big Brother House of Tall Tales and Blocked Stories:

• I know they can't get releases from everyone, past and present, in the lives of the hamsters. But sheesh ... about 90% of personal stories they tell end up getting blocked on the feeds.
• Jordan is expecting her period.
• Russell and Jeff look so uncomfortable whenever she mentions it.
• Natalie will be getting her phone call from her father sometime today.
• The Russell, Michele, Jeff, and Jordan contingent talked about their first impressions of everyone in the house.
• Natalie, Lydia, and Kevin were off playing cards or sleeping.
• Natalie told Lydia that she (Lydia) is wasting all her time away sleeping.
• Natalie has a short memory -- she and Jessie slept 3/4 of the day just two weeks ago.
• Natalie told Jordan that Chima thought if she left, Jessie would come back.
• Ew! I'm glad that didn't happen!
• Although Natalie is with Kevin and Lydia all the time, she says she's alone in the game and specifically denies any friendship with Lydia.
• Natalie said that Jessie wanted a relationship with her and "poured his heart out to her." @@
• Russell isn't buying any of the Jessie/Natalie relationship tales. He knows Jessie wasn't interested in Natalie except for gameplay.
• Jordan can't HOH Twitter yet because it hasn't been revealed on TV that she's the HOH.
• Lydia whined and fussed to Kevin. She can't tan in the unitard! Worlds are collapsing all about her private little universe!
  
• Sigh ... more card playing. I want BB to take those cards right back. Give 'em a Twister game instead ... heck, even Scrabble.
• Lydia and Natalie are still calling Michele psycho-sleeper (amongst other things). That's because of her night terrors and screaming out during the night.
• Barring any POV changes, the Kevin/Lydia/Natalie group is sure Lydia will be going off to the jury with Jessie.
• Little do they know, the Michele/Jordan/Jeff/Russell group (if everyone cooperates) will be targeting Natalie.
• POV should be sometime today.
• With my luck it will be while I'm at work or while we're all watching the show.
  

Big brother 11 Live Feeds Into Monday Evening 8/17

Yawn. The hamsters are feasting because at 9 PM they could go off slop.

Here are the events from the evening in that Big Brother House of Dubious Superheroes:

• Natalie denied crying about Jessie at the wake (this was to Jeff).
• You know, she never cries and she didn't care that much that he's gone. She was only staying with him for her game.
• If Jessie could hear her, he'd turn over in his grave.
• Oh wait. After the wake, I forgot he actually lives.
  
• Natalie also told Jeff that neither he or Russell have ever been her targets. She wanted Michele and Lydia out.
• Jeff told her that he felt he had to get Jessie out because he needed to get the king of the house out.
  
• Natalie feels guilty because she told Chima to go to the Diary Room to confront the producers.
• At least she says that.
• She also said that Chima was deliberately pushing the limits and wanted out.
• Jeff told Jordan that the others seem to be gunning for Michele and now Russell isn't in their sights.
• Jordan thinks that Russell and Michele might be working together. She thinks they should get the remaining two from the other side to target one of them.
• Jeff told her not to get too far ahead in planning. They haven't played POV yet.
• Jeff still has some suspicion about Michele "playing a Ronnie" on them. But he also wants the four to look solid to the other side.
• The playing cards they now have show why they don't usually get playing cards. They sit around playing cards half the day.
• Russell got a massage from a massage therapist. Lydia told him that now all the toxins have been released and he won't feel well.
• Lydia fussed that the Diary Room told her to get a scarf or hoodie because they didn't want her pink hair showing.
• They must be planning on some sort of continuity, eh?
• I keep expecting them to show the margarita party.
• At one point Lydia misplaced her cape. She was bereft.
• Yawn.
