Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Into Tuesday Dawn 8/25

Russell, driven to the brink of insanity via the backdoor, tries to off himself by shoving a hanger up his nose.

Or not.

Here are the happenings from the Big Brother House of Foolish Follies:

• Supposedly Michele cried after the PoV ceremony -- this was what Kevin told Jeff anyway. I didn't see tears, but wouldn't be surprised.
• Kevin also told Jeff that Russell's going around saying he has Michele's vote and just needs one more.
• Kevin told Jeff what a good little loyal puppy dog he can be. After all, he stayed loyal to his pals Chima and Lydia.
• Jeff and Kevin bonded some more.
• On a purely platonic level, of course.
• Natalie tried to make nicey-nice with Russell, probably thinking of the jury vote. After all, her hands are clean in the latest.
• As far as Russell knows, both her and Kevin's hands have no blood.
• No, there's been no murder. I'm talking figurative blood.
• They all discussed The Amazing Race. I should mention I did NOT try out for TAR yesterday when they had the casting crew around here.
• Jordan moved all of her belongings to the HOH room because she's scared Russell will do something to them.
• Jeff thinks Kevin is acting strange after he took him off the block. Jordan insists he's grateful.
• Neither Jordan or Jeff trust Michele but feel they need to keep working with her.
• Jordan is scared she will be on the block next week.
• Russell, Natalie, and Kevin hung out together talking.
• Natalie once again mentioned she can only go to Indian casinos because she's so young.
• She doth protest too much -- there was no need for her to mention it again.
• But Russell isn't bright enough to pick up on it.
• I think Kevin's filing all of this age suspicion away in his mind, though.
• No more brouhahas.
  

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Into Monday Evening 8/24

Jeff and Jordan putting Q-tips into the bottles. Don't ask.

Natalie's all smiles.

Here are the events into the evening from inside that Big Brother House of Roads Not Taken:

• Natalie assured Kevin that Russell "walks the walk, but doesn't talk the talk" when he's mad. He'll get into a girl's face and scream at her, but he yells at a guy from a distance.
• Natalie thinks that Russell is going to try to convince Michele and Jordan that he should stay.
• Aw, Russell and Natalie talked things out and hugged.
• I'm deeply touched.
• Russell told Natalie she should work to keep Michele in the house for her own game.
• Russell believes he never attacked Jeff or Jordan. He and Kevin talked about Chima's terrorist comments and now all is hunky-dory between them.
• Or, at least Kevin has stopped hiding in fear of being punched.
• Jeff and Jordan are proud of Jeff's move. They say Russell was a yo-yo, with them one day, plotting against them the next.
• Russell mentioned that Natalie is only 18 and she's an amateur poker player in casinos?
• She claims she can't get into most casinos but can get into the Indian casinos where the age to enter is 18.
• Jordan and Jeff continue to count and study the house.
• That's what the Q-tips are all about.
• I'm sure you were wondering.
  

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Monday Daytime - PoV Meeting! 8/24

If looks could kill ... look at those dagger eyes on Russell! Yep, it happened. The PoV meeting was today and Jeff did what he said he was going to do. He saved Kevin and put Russell on the block with Natalie.

Here's how the day went down:

• BB woke up the hamsters early today -- around 8 AM. Of course, most of them were up into the wee hours. They're going to be sleepy.
• Jeff told Jordan he was going to take Kevin off the block because he'd be more likely to win (and put Michele up). He's going to tell Natalie and Kevin he drew a playing card to decide which one gets saved.
• Kevin and Natalie are way nervous. They don't want to look desperate, but want to just confirm the deal with Jeff and Jordan one more time.
• Natalie and Kevin have already decided that if either of them win, they'll put Jeff up. They'll tell him he's a pawn, of course.
• Then, if/when Jeff gets voted out, they'll explain to Jordan that the opportunity came up, he's such a strong player, blah-blah.
• Natalie thinks Ronnie was totally right about Michele.
• Kevin thinks they should give Michele a break because she's been through so much.
• Um, okay.
• Natalie claimed she hasn't won anything because she hasn't had to win anything. I think I've seen her trying ... she CAN'T win comps is the issue!
• The PoV meeting went down.
• Michele said that this will put her loyalty to Russell on the line.
• Jeff hadn't told Michele he was going to backdoor Russell although the thought has certainly come up in conversations.
• Kevin and Natalie are going on about how their last minute lie saved them.
• But they don't know their lie was actually the truth, just not witnessed by them.
• Russell reminded Jeff about swearing on families. He's mad.
• Jeff told him he had to know it was a smart move on his part.
• Remember, Russell was telling US in the diary room that Jeff should put him on the block. Now that he's there, it's all about betrayal.
• Almost violence! Russell warned Jeff that he's had it if he goes to the jury house. He'll "mop the floor with him."
  
• Russell also brought up that Jeff said he'd kill the families of anyone who breaks the final four agreement. (He did, but was obviously joking when he said it.)
• Russell shouted at Jeff.
• Jeff shouted at Russell.
• Macho, macho man ... oh, I want to be a macho man.
• Kevin and Natalie just looked amazed at their handiwork.
• Fight, fight.
• Threaten, threaten.
• And on.
• And on.
• No punches thrown.
• No maids screamed.
• Then it all went sort of calm.
• Kevin is scared Russell will punch him and went in hiding.
• Natalie is sucking up royally to Jeff and Jordan.
• Wait until she stabs that knife in his back.
  

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Overnight Into Monday 8/24

Jordan and Jeff talk while watching the spy screen.

Here are the happenings since I last posted about the hamsters in the Big Brother House of Dudes and Dudettes:

• It was not a thrill a minute. Don't expect excitement over your morning coffee.
• Jordan and Michele worked out. Unlike many in the house, Michele has lost weight.
• Michele asked Jordan if she and Jeff thought something was up with her.
• Jordan told her they did.
• Michele claimed that Russell is just getting on her nerves.
• Kevin thinks Russell will play the "bro card" on Jeff -- he's hanging out with him doing guy kind of stuff.
• Kevin told Natalie he thinks she's going overboard by being too nice. He thinks they'll catch on because she's overdoing it.
• Jeff and Jordan memorized house facts for comps.
• Michele told Jeff that Russell needs to go.
• Michele told Jeff that she often felt that Russell wasn't on her team. He questioned what team that was -- going after the final two deal between Russell and Michele.
• Russell walked in on them.
• More card playing. I'm SO tired of watching them play cards. Take the cards away!
• Jeff once again talked with Russell. Russell claimed that things get twisted and what Jeff hears isn't what really happened.
• Jeff and Jordan went back to quizzing each other on house counts and facts ... all the while watching the spy screen.
• Natalie and Kevin played pool and continued to scheme away.
• Russell's been laying low and Michele refuses to take a cold shower before bed.
  
• The indicators are that Jeff is likely to use the veto tonight to save Kevin and put Russell on the block with Natalie.
• If that happens, we'll have some sort of excitement with Russell's reaction.
• We'll know by tonight.
  

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Sunday Into the Evening 8/23

Blech. Sundays are the most boring day of the week in the BB house. Natalie said she likes them because they let them sleep in. Personally, I call getting up at 9:30 or 10:00 AM every morning sleeping in. Here's the non-events of today in the Big Brother House of Dreadful Doldrums:

• Michele's eyeglasses are broken. She thinks they were first damaged when the giant diploma in the HOH comp hit them. I'm wondering why she wore them for that.
• Jordan told Michele that she's always worried that Jeff might evict her similar to what Drew did to Diane that season. Showmances vs. money, money usually wins.
• Michele told Jordan she trusts her and Jeff 100%.
• Jordan told Michele that if Russell wins HOH next week, it would give him the perfect opportunity to get rid of Jeff.
• Jordan also told her she doesn't trust Russell, nor does she think he's all that grateful that Jeff saved him with the "wizard" power.
• Well, he's more grateful than Lydia was!
• Jordan reported her talk to Jeff. They think Russell will go berserk when backdoored.
• Natalie and Kevin continued to suck up to Jeff and Jordan.
• Michele is grouchy -- her glasses are broken, she thinks her partner in crime might be in danger, she thinks she herself might be in danger, and she's on slop.
• Kevin is scared that Jeff won't use the veto and the backdoor plan will be thrown out the door.
• Jordan would like Jeff to try to control his use of the f-bomb.
• That's just about it. Nothing but doldrums today.
• We need a brouhaha!
