Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Into Friday Dawn 8/28

This is the first time there haven't been distinct "I hate you" sides with a HOH win. No one in the house doesn't like Kevin. But that doesn't mean that everyone is necessarily thrilled to death that he won.

• Natalie told Kevin that she wanted to win the comp to vindicate Chima and put Michele on the block. She had her speech all prepared and everything. But she calls it "vindiction." I just can't do that.
  
• Then why didn't she try to win the comp?
• Michele cried. And cried. I believe she thinks it's the beginning of her end in the house.
• I don't know if Kevin will do Natalie's bidding, but he's often said he doesn't trust or care for Michele.
• She probably should cry.
• Natalie is sure she will win the next HOH. She thinks it will be a memory-based comp.
• I'm sure she'll continue her streak of not winning.
  
• Michele cried some more.
• Natalie seemed to automatically assume she would be moving into the HOH room.
• Kevin didn't invite her, nor did he protest her assumption.
• Natalie, Kevin, Jeff, and Jordan sat around Russell-bashing.
• Kevin said Michele has thrown him under the bus many times.
• Jeff is sure that they'll put Michele on the block (probably right) and that she's the target this week (possibly not).
• Jeff has washed his hands of Michele.
• Kevin told Jeff and Jordan that Russell told him he had Jordan's vote to stay.
• Now, that would have been ludicrous! He called her fat!
• Kevin got his HOH room. He was super emotional with his letter from his partner.
• Natalie went through his basket of goodies as if they were hers. She claims the Mike's Hard Lemonade for herself.
• Gee, is she old enough to drink?
  
• I would so love it if Kevin abandoned Natalie.
• But I doubt he'd do that.
• He got an Enrique CD and they're all playing up on Enrique.
• Natalie keeps saying she wants Michele gone.
• Jordan thinks she herself will be going home.
• Jeff thinks he'll be backdoored.
• Yet, no one has said anything bad about Kevin.
• You know, Kevin is growing on me.
• They think there will be a luxury comp today.
• Natalie told Kevin they should stick to their original plan - get rid of Jeff.
• Kevin thinks production likes him now and the HOH comp was made for him.
• Kevin thinks they have to get Jeff out now before the final three round of competitions. He thinks no one would be able to beat Jeff in them.
• I like Jeff, but I think Kevin's right.
• They stayed up all night talking downstairs and upstairs. No brouhahas although Michele cried us a river.
• Boy, I'd love if Kevin turned on Natalie just because she irks me and she has attached herself to power all season while doing horrible in comps.
  

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds - HOH Comp 8/27

10:25 PM ET - Feeds finally returned. As expected, Kevin is wearing the HOH key.


10:10 PM ET - We've had a long feeds blockage (about 7 minutes). Methinks there is a winner.

10 PM ET - Natalie is beginning to remind me of one of the crypt creatures from Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video in this comp. Kevin is just about there. He is SO going to deserve the win. He's jogged for about an hour now.


9:50 PM ET: Kevin is jogging back and forth and barely slipping. Michele isn't as fast, but doing well. Jordan went down, but is back up. Natalie whined about losing her cup in the barrel and probably wanted to use that as an excuse to quit.



9:40 PM ET - Heh. Michele is the only one wiping the top of her contraption each time after pouring a cup. It must be the lab rat in her. Unless something happens, this is going to be Kevin's game to win.


9:30 PM ET - Kevin in lead, Michele second, Jordan third ... who knows what Natalie's doing. She's more interested in cheerleading Kevin and talking than doing the comp. BTW - Feeds are horrible tonight technical-wise. I lost mine and had a heck of a time reloading them.




9:09 PM ET - Feeds return ... looks like Kevin is in the lead followed by Jordan. Here's a shocker -- Natalie has the least.


As I get this posted, the feeds are still blocked. Once they're up, I'll update. But feel free to mingle, snack, and imbibe in comments while we wait.

Big Brother 11 Live Eviction Show Blog Party Post - 8/27

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

Yay! We got footage of Jordan chest-bumping Russell! Of course, we got a lot of the Russell/Jeff verbal brouhaha, too. Upcoming is the vote (of course) and Jessie gets his new jury house roomie -- Lydia.

Julie announced that Have - Have Not is over for the season.

The vote to evict:
Jordan --> Russell
Kevin --> Russell
Michele --> Russell

Russell is evicted. He went out totally classy (although a bit backpedalling).

The HOH comp started. It's going to go on beyond the show as the four are running across a slick "graham cracker" filling a 16 gallon bowl with 8 ounce mugs of hot chocolate. I'll be setting up a separate post after the show ends to monitor the HOH comp on the feeds. While not an endurance, it's going to take some time.

Julie said there will be a new twist to HOH next week which will affect everyone.

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Into the Dawn Thursday 8/27

Gee, at least when Russell was rampaging, things were interesting. Here's the news from the late night/overnight hours in that Big Brother House of Survivor Will Be Here Soon:

• Michele once again said that she wouldn't bring Russell to the final two -- why would she give him $50,000?
• Jeff thinks Michele will target Natalie and Kevin if she wins HOH. Then they can stab her in the back the next week.
• Natalie plans to put Michele and Jeff on the block if she wins HOH, with Jeff as the target.
• Of course, she told Russell this, not Jeff.
• Kevin and Natalie are taking this all seriously. They've been studying for any possible question-based comp for hours.
• Russell has been nearby occasionally mentioning things or correcting facts.
• Kevin is tired of Jeff thinking he's a god in the house because America voted for him for the coup d'etat.
• Kevin and Natalie are very worried that America might have a hand in the jury vote -- they believe America and the show producers love Jeff and Jordan.
• Natalie and Kevin went through Michele's drawers and duffel bag looking to steal Michele's gloves because they can't find Natalie's.
• They didn't find them and BB told them they had to go to bed by 2 AM.
• Kevin and Michele think they have secured the jury vote of Russell by their recent bonding (and Natalie's lie telling about Michele).
• Jeff and Jordan cuddled and talked a long time.
• All are asleep as I post this.
  

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Into the Evening Wednesday 8/26

Lots of fingernail interest going on.

What? Together again?

Despite the excitement this afternoon, things have been rather dull this evening. Odd, perhaps. But dull, for sure.

• Odd: Jeff refers to Russell and himself as "kid.' Now, I might think of them as kids at 25 and 31. But when I was 25 and later 31, I didn't think of myself or my friends as "kids." I joke about the kid inside, but I can't help but wonder what happened to the generation?
  
• Michele continues to befuddle me. She's in with Jeff and Jordan, out with Russell. The next moment she's in with Russell again and he's making her dinner.
• Russell doesn't befuddle me. He's working every angle he can to stay in the house.
• He tried to convince Kevin that if he were to vote out Natalie, he'd be in an alliance of three (Russell, Michele, Kevin) against two (Jordan, Jeff).
• Kevin may be scheming to get Jeff out, but I get the feeling he likes Jeff.
  
• He doesn't like either Michele or Russell.
• He's frightened of Russell.
• Natalie, Jeff, Jordan, and Kevin gathered in the HOH room for Russell and Michele bashing.
• None of them can read her.
• Neither can I.
• Nor can Russell, methinks.
• Natalie had the gall to say that Michele didn't take a shower after one of the comps.
• You heard me.
  
• Michele reported back to Jeff that Russell thinks he has Kevin's vote.
• She does seem a bit more at ease talking with Jeff.
• I still can't say I can read her.
• Now Natalie, with Kevin eating Russell's gastronomical goodies meal, is reporting to Russell everything Jeff said about Michele.
• I'm confused. That's all for now.
• I want Jordan to beat up Russell just for my own entertainment.
  

Russ is cooking for himself and Michele.

Jeff hangs out with his buddies Natalie and Kevin while Jordan is in the diary room.
