Big Brother 12 - Nominations Are In, July 23

As expected, Kathy is on the block with Andrew.

Big Brother 12 - Friday Live Feeds, July 23

Who's this? Oh my, could it be ...? It's Kristen!

My review of last night's show, as well as a special HOH comp live feeds report, are up over on TV Squad. Please check them out!

Here's what's been shakin' in that Big Brother House of Fools:

• Rachel cried because BB told her she wasn't allowed to get wasted. That gal has some serious drinking issues, methinks. She claims it's her job -- to have fun. @@
• Brendon and Rachel questioned Matt about his wife's disease and the surgery. He reacted as well as he did in the house meeting. When put on the spot, he's a very poor liar although he lies smoothly when creating the story.
• Matt has the rubber duckies Will had in the bathtub in the HOH room. We need a puppet show with them!
• Matt thinks the nerdy niche market for the show will love his on-air ChenBot reference.
• I guess I resemble that remark. I also liked her reaction. It was so much better than shutting down the one who kept calling her "Jules." Argh, I'm pulling a blank on who did that. But I remember she didn't like it.
• The ants are all over the kitchen once again.
• Rachel thinks there must be an "I hate Rachel" club. Why do they hate her? Because she has red hair!
• I have red hair.
• Mine is real.
• Rachel got drunk even though BB told her she couldn't get wasted. Brendon can't drink because he's a Have Not (along with Enzo, Andrew and Ragan).
• Brendon went to bed. Rachel stayed at the hot tub drinking.
• She told Julie that Brendon is more important than the money.
• He doesn't seem more important than alcohol, though.
• Britney tried to convince the others that Hayden and Kristen are really twins, as in brother and sister.
• That would be just too kinky in view of the showmance, but it's something blog commenter F.A. (formerly anon) came up with days ago.
• Matt wants to put up Andrew and Kathy, backdooring Brendon when the POV is used. That, of course, makes the assumption that one of them (or the nominees) will win the POV.
  
• The Brigade wants Rachel and Brendon out.
• Enzo thinks Monet was a nice girl.
• He didn't see the show edits and the diary room sessions, did he?
• Andrew was upset he didn't win HOH because he really wanted to see a picture of his daughter.
• While Enzo likes Monet, he spent a lot of time trashing Kathy.
• Not to her face, of course.
• Hayden and Kristen even have a birthmark in common.
• Matt doesn't want to tell the others that he made a deal with Rachel and Brendon that he wouldn't nominated them, but if the POV is used, one will go on the block. Ragan is the only other one who knows that.
• When Matt told Rachel and Brendon, he also told them he wouldn't encourage anyone to use the veto.
• Matt told Rachel he might throw the POV comp so he's not put in a position to use the POV.
  
• Rachel is worried that she and Brendon won't get chosen to play for POV and one of them will end up on the block. Heh.
• Matt told Andrew he wants to put him on the block as a pawn with Kathy as the target.
• Not surprisingly, Andrew questioned why the two main targets weren't going up.
• He accepted the backdoor bit, but seemed to be a bit concerned nonetheless.
• America voted for baby food and bok choy. At least it's a tad healthy.
  

Big Brother 12 - HOH Endurance Comp Coverage

6:50 AM ET update -- They're all still up, check out the skull and crossbones in Matt's HOH room. More details early this evening (Fri.)


Matt is wearing the HOH key and just told Rachel that Ragan didn't drop, he fell.

Feeds came back at 11:38 PM ET - No confirmation, but it sounds like Matt got it.


11:25 PM - We've had bubbles (blocked feeds) for about 20 minutes. I assume it's all over and went as planned with Matt getting HOH. They're probably letting them unwind and feeding them. I will post the winner when I know for certain. But Matt due to the talk between Matt and Ragan would be my prediction.

11:00 PM ET - Both still up, but the Matt/Ragan deal is in action. Ragan should be dropping before long.

10:36 PM - Ragan plans to drop in 15 to 20 minutes. The deal is that Andrew (pawn) goes up with Kathy (target). No deal on POV replacement for Rachel and Brendon, just that they're not nominated now. Nominations need to remain the same or one will go up.

They sent the others inside and Matt and Ragan talk about who they'd put up. Matt wants Kathy out no matter what, maybe Brendon or Rachel with her. Ragan cares what Rachel thinks of him. Matt suggests Kathy and Andrew. It's Ragan talking about dropping.

Now they want to tell Andrew he's a pawn and make a deal with Rachel and Brendon that they'll be safe -- Kathy go home (because she's the third).


10:27 PM ET - Andrew slipped. Now only Ragan and Matt still up.

10:15 PM ET - Still Ragan, Andrew and Matt up



Then there were three -- an unlikely three -- Andrew, Ragan and Matt still up


9:44 PM ET - WHOA! Brendon's down with his size 13s


9:39 PM ET - Enzo slipped and is out.

9:35 PM ET - Brendon, Enzo, Ragan, Andrew and Matt still up





9:15 PM ET -- Feeds back, Britney goes down -- Hayden and Kathy out

9:13 PM ET - Trivia, then bubbles



9:09 PM ET - Kristen out


Right now the feeds are still blocked. Once they come back up, this post will be updated with screen caps and the events.

9:07 PM ET - Feeds up, looks like they're all still on -- Lane just went down

Big Brother 12 - Episode 7 - Live Eviction Blog Party

The show is about to start here on the East Coast. 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. This looks like it's going to be an endurance HOH comp. If so, after the show ends here in the NYC, I'll pick up the live feeds and I'll endure along with them.

Hamsters ready?

The vote:
Andrew --> Monet
Enzo --> Monet
Britney --> Matt
Commercial break.
Kathy --> Matt
Hayden --> Monet
Kristen --> Monet
Ragan --> Monet
Brendon --> Monet
Lane --> Monet

Buh-bye, Monet.

Before commercial break, the hamsters on surfboards in the yard.

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!
