Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Into the Dawn, July 16

Gotta love Andrew's green shorts and top outfit.

How did Rachel's first night as Queen of the House go? Read on!

• Lane told Britney he was planning to show off his "wienie" to American on Showtime. She told him America didn't want to see it.
• Enzo wonders if America laughed at his ex-girlfriend joke on the show. Matt assured him we did.
  
• I think I briefly smiled at the time -- did not chuckle, nor guffaw, didn't even chortle.
• Rachel told Brendon about her nasty goodbye message to Annie.
• Brendon was a bit upset -- he had told her he kept his own goodbye nice.
• Rachel thinks there's an alliance of four in the house -- Enzo, Matt, Monet and Britney. Well, she has the number right.
• Britney told the others that she thought Annie was the saboteur.
• Then came the happy act for Rachel's HOH room. She got a Rascal Flatts CD, a bikini, snacks but didn't get the pictures she had selected. The others had hoped there would be more photos.
• Kathy told Rachel how happy she is for her.
• Rachel in turn promised she'd never put Kathy on the block, even as a pawn.
• Rachel thinks that if either Monet or Britney win HOH, she and Brendon will be on the block again.
• I can't believe that neither she nor Brendon aren't even thinking of Lane, Enzo, Matt or Hayden as possible threats! Is the Brigade THAT good?
• Rachel got her tequila.
• Brendon and Rachel think Britney is mean.
• They're right. She is.
• Lane told Matt that Brendon is really the HOH; Rachel just has the title and photos.
• Rachel told Brendon that Enzo will always be out for himself. She's right.
• Monet thinks Rachel is an alcoholic. Rachel does like her alcohol.
• Rachel, as if to confirm Monet's observation, got drunk.
• Hayden and Kristen, with their secret alliance, are worried about being nominated together.
• I don't think that will happen. I believe she'll stick to her idea of nominating Monet and Britney with Britney being the target.
• They searched for the cricket device until Monet found one and turned it off.
• They checked out the device and found it made many sounds -- cricket, buzzing, doorbell, etc.
• So Britney and Monet went looking for more.
• Kristen wants to adopt chimpanzees when she retires. Um. That's good until they bite your face off!
• They're all asleep as I get this posted.

Rumors are that Annie has been sequestered. So the saboteur may live on. We'll see. Also, my review of last night's show is up on TV Squad.

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Since the Live Show, July 15

I don't know which was worse -- Annie's constant talking or these two? It's been a bit over a week, guys! Sheesh!

Here's what's happened since the live show ended:

• In reference to what Annie said about Brendon carrying Rachel through the game, Rachel said, "I carried Brendon through the game!"
• Say what? I don't think she gets the concept. Brendon saved himself with the POV. While she won HOH, she has yet to carry him anywhere.
• They have no clue that Annie was the saboteur and still think there's a saboteur in the house.
• Britney and Monet think they're going to be put on the block.
• Britney's such a catty little so-and-so, I would like to see her go since I can't get Rachel out!
• Britney and Monet are psychic as Rachel told Brendon she wants to put them up.
• So the Brigade might be safe this week, eh?
• Rachel said that all of the Have Nots will be welcome in her room and welcome to baths all week. I believe she means the ones she shared the Have Not room with as I don't think it will be allowed for any new Have Nots.
• Rachel wants tequila.
• I don't. Sleep would be nice.
• Brendon made tacos for everyone.
• Matt told Enzo he thinks Rachel will nominate Monet and Hayden.
• Matt and Enzo think that if Britney and Monet are on the block, they want Britney gone.
• So do I.
• BB gave them alcohol but haven't done Rachel's room yet as I get this written up.
• Enzo made up even more food.
• Britney and Monet are chowing down everything in sight as they're worried they'll be on slop tomorrow.
• Britney and Monet commented on how Kristen will float to the power.
• Rachel thinks America adores her and Brendon as a couple and thanks us for our support.
• :::spew:::
• More in the early morning ...

Big Brother 12 - Episode 4 Eviction Blog Party Post

The show is about to start here on the East Coast. Tonight we'll see the first eviction and the reveal of the saboteur (to us, not them). As the show airs here, I'll update this post with the major events. Later on, I'll be writing up my full review of the show for TV Squad. Then, late tonight, I'll bring you the latest from the live feeds.

Hamsters ready?

OMG - The saboteur is ANNIE!

Monet, Andrew and Lane voted to evict Annie. Lane was her only ally. Not looking good. Commercial break. Unanimous vote - Annie is out.

Rachel won HOH!

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Into Thursday Dawn, July 15

My review of last night's show is up on TV Squad.

I'm still waiting for some spark of excitement from the hamsters ... a brouhaha, catching the saboteur on the feeds ... something! Here's what's gone down since I last checked in:

• Ragan told Rachel his plan is to target those who aren't really trying to play the game.
• Ragan and Rachel memorized the counts of various objects in the house.
• Annie continued to campaign for herself. Now, I know she has to do so, but this is so neverending and repetitive.
• Make her stop!
• Brendon told Hayden he doesn't want Enzo to win HOH because he's a wild card. Hayden agreed. Both claimed to like Enzo.
  
• But I think only Hayden actually likes him.
• Hayden and Annie seriously seem to think the saboteur's "escaped eviction" message points directly to Brendon.
• I don't think so. I think it only points away from Annie and Rachel.
• Lane and Hayden talked about possibly saving Annie (which would be a smart move to break up the more powerful Brendon and Rachel), but don't think Enzo would go along with them. They call him a loose cannon and say they'll have to backdoor him eventually.
• Of course, Lane has always been on Annie's side and Hayden seems to agree with whomever he's talking to at the time.
• The Brigade decided they feel sorry about Annie, but she must go this week.
• Hayden told Kristen that she's hard to read and he only knows about three things about her.
• She claims he knows more.
• Kristen told Hayden she's suspicious about Matt. Hayden told Kristen that Matt's said just about the same thing about her.
• Hayden told Kristen that he'd like Britney to go home next week.
• Oh my. What of the power duo, Brendon and Rachel? Just let them stay and grow stronger?
• Silly hamsters.
  

Big Brother 12 - Wednesday's Live Feeds, July 14

Rachel told Britney she doesn't regret getting implants. I regret that she got them.

The hat suits Lane

Yikes, I'm only really submitting one report on the action in the house today! Why? Because there was so LITTLE action that it just didn't make sense. I'm glad tomorrow will bring us a new HOH and hopefully shake things up a bit.

So, here's what I've got:

• Annie continued to campaign.
• The only real friend Annie might have in the house is Lane. The others merely tolerate her.
• They were put on a long indoor lockdown.
• The saboteur appeared again (they block the feeds when that happens), this time telling them "I'm glad I escaped eviction this week."
• A lot of them think it's Brendon as he saved himself with the POV. But, in reality everyone except Annie and Rachel (likely Annie) "escaped" eviction this week. So the message only means that the saboteur isn't Annie or Rachel.
• I still think it's Matt.
• Annie feels she's been exonerated with the saboteur's message.
• Hayden got the HOH camera, did a tweet on Twitter and his blog entry for the CBS website.
• Lane and Matt put green tape on Britney and Enzo's photos just for kicks.
• First of the season, Hayden locked himself out of his HOH room.
• Kristen mentioned there were two blackouts the night of the padlocked storage room. She thinks the first was a failed attempt.
• The beeping continued along with other noises -- chirping, cricket noises, etc.
  
• Britney and Monet insisted to Hayden that Andrew is an ally of Brendon and Rachel.
• When let out of the house, they found an oversized golf set in the yard.
  
• I would guess it might be to practice for HOH. Maybe not.
• Lane told stories of castrating steers, bulls, something. Not my thing.
• The guys also talked guns.
• There was a weird divide for a while (see the screen caps below) --
  

The girls, including both Rachel and Annie in the Have Not Room

The guys plus Kristen in the kitchen.

Odd.

Liven up hamsters! I can't take this!
