Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Into Thursday Morning, July 22

There IS a Kristen in the house!

Today the hamsters will be cleaning house in anticipation of the live show. What they don't ever realize every season is that they're constantly in a live show on the feeds and their messes show! Here's what happened overnight:

• Monet cried to Kathy that she doesn't understand why they'd keep Matt over her.
• Maybe they like him more, I say.
• Kathy told Monet she has no idea what's going on with the others.
• She probably doesn't. Kathy is no shrewd cop on the beat in the house. She's friendly with all, but no one confides in her. We're talking pure floater.
• They remain on indoor lockdown. Kathy is so wanting a cigarette!
• Rachel told Ragan that she thinks if Matt wins HOH, he'd put her and Brendon on the block. Ragan doesn't think so, but commits to nothing on the point.
• Rachel feels sorry for crying Monet, but doesn't think she tried too hard to win the PoV.
• Monet and Britney worked for Lane's vote, telling him they had Andrew and Kathy.
• Andrew doesn't care for Matt, but doesn't want his name thrown in as a vote to keep Monet, either. He wants to go with the flow in the house.
• Britney says that Kristen and Hayden have a showmance going.
• You don't say ...!
• Britney also thinks if Kristen wins HOH, she's (Britney) history.
• Kathy is hedging on her vote to evict Monet. After Monet cried to her, Kathy told Brendon and Rachel that she finds some of the things Matt said the night before disturbing.
• Matt was way drunk that night. Way to go, genius! A real genius would NEVER get drunk in the house.
• Kathy decided she would vote for Matt to go as a warning, but that the vote on the whole in the house will be for Monet to go.
• Kristen told Andrew that, despite Matt's behavior the night before, if he were to win HOH, his targets would be Brendon and Rachel.
• The overall house sentiment is still a Monet ouster. Britney should be interesting without her BFF.
• The showmance couples split off and did their showmance stuff.
• Ragan talked to Lane. Lane told him the first time Annie talked to him was after she was nominated and he only went to console her because she was upset.
• They're all asleep as I post this.
• My review of last night's show is up on TV Squad!

Boy George in his Culture Club days

Rachel

Yes! Yes! I've been trying to think of who it is that Rachel reminds me of -- it's BOY GEORGE! Well, not the implants, of course. Thanks to the anonymous commenter who made the comparison on an earlier live feeds report. Now I can sleep at night.

I don't really have much to report, but here goes nothing (and I mean nothing!) --

• They've been on indoor lockdown most of the day. At one point we had a flash of the backyards on the feeds. There's metal framing out there.
• Ragan's probably right -- it's probably going to be an endurance comp. If so, I'll stay with it here after the show.
• Monet and Britney continued to campaign for votes to keep Monet in the house.
• At least, if Monet goes, I'll stop mistyping her name as "Money." I end up fixing that all the time.
• Matt and Andrew talked -- both said they're not after each other despite talk in the house.
• More showmance undercover escapades.
• Tons of non-game related small talk about previous seasons and other reality shows.
• I still predict a Monet ouster.
• The camera man tonight has a fixation with close-ups. Can you spot Kristen?
  

Big Brother 12 - Episode 6 - POV Show - Blog Party Post

The show is about to start here on the East Coast. Everyone is welcome to join in down in the comments area. The more, the merrier! Late tonight, my full review of the show should be up on TV Squad and this post will be updated to reflect major events as it airs.

Britney wins POV!

Britney saved herself and Matt (who volunteered) went on the block in her place as a pawn.

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds, Daytime Wednesday, July 21

HOH camera time

Ho-hum, another day in that Big Brother House of Boozing Bores ...

• Brendon and Rachel were the first ones up today. Rachel did her hour in the stocks while Brendon catered to her and exercised.
• Afterward, Brendon and Rachel were having sex play under the covers when Kathy walked in.
• Kathy has a habit of doing that and seems oblivious to it all.
• I forgot to mention that last night Hayden told Kristen that he thinks America probably hates Brendon and Rachel.
• From the mouths of babes ...
• I don't actually HATE Brendon and Rachel, not even just Rachel. Her jumping on Brendon right off and party gal ways don't mesh well with me.
• Maybe I'm just a prude!
• Maybe I'm jealous.
• Yeah, right. At least I've had real red hair all my life!
• Ragan thinks the HOH comp will be endurance. He could very well be right. The first endurance comp is usually two to three weeks in if memory serves.
• Lots and lots of small talk, non-game related.
• The camera, Rachel's blog entry, and the tweet are today.
• Although Monet's been campaigning hard and Rachel has indicated she's thinking of keeping her, I think the votes will be for her to go.
• Stop back in a bit for the blog party as the show airs on the East Coast!
• Bring snacks, please.
  

Brendon tries to look 'hood in his mandana.

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Into Wednesday, July 21

He's not drunk, he's just Enzo.

I realize I didn't want a weird twist this summer. But, without a twist, this group is way too dull. Now, had they had actual diversity in the casting -- ages, races, etc. -- the house would have more action. This group, despite the cattiness and little quibbles, gets along way too well.

Here are the events since my last report:

• There was a banner plane! Unfortunately it was some kind of advertising, nothing to do with the house. I saw a banner plane in NJ and thought of them.
• Monet continues to campaign.
• Kristen told Britney she and Monet had to stop saying they had her vote.
• Britney denied saying that.
  
• I haven't seen anyone other than Britney outright say Monet had their vote to stay.
• Kathy, accused of starting the rumor about the vote, got them together to confront Britney.
• Rachel admitted to Britney that her goal is to have Monet evicted -- they don't need Britney making more drama and Monet has the ten grand she won, so she won't go empty-handed.
• Matt, in his continued odd strategy, insisted to Ragan that the HoH group wants to flip the vote (and send him home).
• Monet got all upset over the Kristen vote kerfuffle and started crying.
• Monet said that Rachel told her she was targeted because she didn't even bother talking to her for 13 days.
• I don't know. It's kind of hard to talk to Rachel when she's doing the hanky-panky with Brendon a good part of each day!
• Then Britney thought she was being attacked, so she cried.
• Enzo told them there's no crying in Big Brother.
  
• Gee, I thought he knew the show. I guess not!
• After saying that Kathy screamed at her, Britney cried to Kathy that Rachel never liked her.
• @@
• Britney cried some more.
• Brendon and Rachel went over the pros and cons of keeping Matt or Monet.
• Rachel told Ragan (Matt's new bestest info-buddy) that she thinks Matt is this season's Ronnie playing both sides of the house.
• She's right, but Ragan doesn't think so.
• Matt told Rachel he thinks she's gone on a power trip with the HOH win and that she's strong-arming people.
• Monet accused Matt of volunteering to go on the block only to save Andrew.
• Matt denied being in any alliances in the house.
• If the Brigade could have looked up in the air and whistled, they would have done so.
• The Brigade remains a secret alliance, not even Kristen knows.
• Monet told them that they're after her for the ten thousand, but it's Matt they should worry about because he's fooling them all.
• Britney told Matt that she feels like she's in the middle and likes him.
• Britney told Ragan that she likes Matt, hates confrontation and was led to believe Matt was starting drama about her.
• The Brigade confirmed they would keep Matt and are pleased that they're still a secret.
• Britney doesn't like it when her name is tarnished. Maybe she shouldn't be so catty about others? Then she wouldn't be in the middle of drama as much.
• Those are my thoughts, of course. Britney doesn't think she herself could ever be catty.
• Rachel told Matt he'd have to secure Brendon't vote.
• Rachel cried.
• She told Matt that she just wanted to get to the jury house ... with Brendon.
• Rachel and Brendon think Enzo is the least of their worries. No one seems to worry much about Enzo.
• That's a good thing for Enzo, eh?
• Rachel told Brendon that she'd kind of like to see Monet and Britney play next week and they probably wouldn't target either of them.
• Yeah, right.
• BB gave them alcohol, only for the Haves.
• Matt drank a bottle of wine all by himself and staggered a lot.
• Kristen also got drunk.
• Not as drunk as Matt, though.
• Then it was time for the showmances to get some undercover action in.
• They're all asleep as I post this. I believe the vote will still be to evict Monet despite the Brendon/Rachel hedging right now.
