Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Into the Dawn, Tuesday July 27

I wonder if BB got Matt's PJ's from a costume shop.

I keep expecting the unexpected but BB just isn't delivering it. Oh, I long for the days of a Cappy showdown or an Evel Dick brouhaha. Although there are definite sides in the house, these folks just aren't lively --- and they get along too well, even the "enemies." Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of The Problem with Pawns:

• It really looks like Andrew's speech during the PoV ceremony might have sealed his fate. I don't know exactly what was said, but most of the house is pro-Kathy now.
• Brendon and Rachel can't agree on the vote. Trouble in paradise, eh? Their votes will likely cancel each other out. Not a good thing for power players in the house.
• Lane thinks that Hayden doesn't have a personality and possesses a dry sense of humor.
• I'm not all that into Hayden, but contend that if he indeed has a dry sense of humor, he has a personality.
• Hayden does seem a bit boring. Maybe it's because I can't see his eyes.
• Britney mentioned that she's been on a lot of cruises, Hayden's been on none.
• I've never been on a cruise. I've been on whale-watching and deep sea fishing boats, but I guess it's not the same.
  
• Lane agreed with Ragan about keeping Kathy this week.
  
• Lane claims it will be Brendon and Rachel's fault if Andrew leaves this week.
• Huh? Especially if their votes cancel each other out! I guess he means it's because of the Rachel/Brendon/Andrew connection.
• Kristen told Matt for sure she'll be voting for Andrew to go.
• They talked about how BB is editing them. Matt says that the show is portraying Enzo as total Jersey guy and capitalizing on the popularity of The Jersey Shore.
• He does have a point there.
• Britney is on her Hayden/Kristen being brother/sister kick still. She said that Kristen told her that her parents named all the children with "en" at the end of their names.
• Meanwhile, watching and listening to Hayden and Kristen shows they're no way brother and sister. If it's some kind of surprise reveal, they're going to be horrified at their actions.
• Britney thinks Andrew has eaten some non-kosher items. Don't ask me ... unless it's something blatant, I don't know.
• Enzo doesn't think he's anyone's target. He's basically right although he doesn't realize that he's considered a bit sketchy by Brendon and Rachel.
• Matt thinks it will be an 8-0 vote to evict Andrew. Maybe, possibly a 7-1 if Rachel sticks to her guns.
• Looks like Captain Kosher is piloting a sinking ship.
  

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Monday Into the Evening, July 26

Another day in that Big Brother house of Poor Casting:

• Brendon and Rachel are the early birds this season, once again getting up before BB wakes them up.
• They've noticed that Enzo, Lane, Hayden and Kristen hang out a lot together and are thinking there may be an alliance there.
• They don't seem to think Matt is a part of it.
• I actually think Matt is the loose card of the alliance and the Brigade would do better with Kristen in his place.
• Brendon and Rachel are worried about Enzo and don't trust Britney. Um, okay.
  
• Enzo is really on a "get rid of Andrew this week" trip as opposed to his earlier "get rid of Kathy" trip.
• They went on an outdoor lockdown in prep for the PoV ceremony.
• Bam, no feeds for the ceremony!
• The nominations remain the same as we expected. Brendon couldn't use the PoV or Rachel would go on the block (supposedly).
• Apparently Andrew said something about Matt being in cahoots with Brendon and Rachel.
• Oh my. Andrew should have remained quiet. This might be enough to change up the vote and give him the boot.
• Matt told Andrew he liked the speech. Andrew told him that if he stays he won't be gunning for him.
• Andrew knows Matt indeed has alliances.
• Ragan said the PoV meeting was the weirdest ever and Andrew made him laugh with his speech.
• Hayden said he thinks Andrew's speech was all an act.
• Kristen told Matt that, since the speech, she decided to vote out Andrew. She said Rachel's weird reaction to it makes her think he's in with them (B/R).
• Britney agrees with Kristen.
  
• This speech seems worth the watch Wednesday!
• Matt claims that he's worried who Kathy would nominate if she won HOH.
• That's just silly.
• Kathy is the least likely to win any comp on the show.
• I think Matt's working both sides of the house ... still. His only allegiance is to himself and his fake-disease wife.
• Kristen, Hayden, Britney and Enzo seem to be solid votes to boot Andrew. Lane is a maybe.
• Unless something big happens, Ragan is going to vote to evict Andrew.
• I think Andrew got himself in hot water.
• And it's all because Matt put him up as a pawn and didn't nominate EITHER of the ones they all claim are the targets.
• Super Genius strikes again.
• It seems like Brendon and Rachel still might be a split vote on this one. She wants to get rid of Andrew and he doesn't.
• We'll see.
  

Jeff Schroeder Kicks Off His 'Around the World For Free' Run

I think this one's going to be interesting to follow --



Do note that he's still with Jordan. Now, that's one showmance I actually enjoyed watching unlike Rachel and Brendon. The website for his travels is here.

"Don't we have any [bleeping] face cream?"

Things still aren't all that exciting on the feeds, but there has been one noteworthy development -- Enzo and Lane now think that Andrew should go. They want to convince Matt, Hayden and company to keep Kathy. They think Andrew is a more dangerous player (he is) and it's best to get rid of him over the less powerful player. Well, duh.

• Other than that, it was pretty much same old same old. At one point Enzo said they were entertainment and Ragan scoffed at the idea.
• Brendon and Rachel's relationship is still creeping me out. I'm SO tired of seeing them on the screen. I think Allison Grodner likes this stuff, but I certainly don't.
• Britney sans Monet is really doing well with the others. I actually like her now.
• Britney and Enzo really seem to click -- NOT like Brendon and Rachel, mind you. Their discussions are fun. She loves to pick on his accent.
• The one thing that really caught my interest other than the change in tides towards keeping Kathy was a fairly long talk Britney, Kathy, Enzo and Lane had on their hometowns and diversity (or lack thereof).
• They each seem to live in their own sheltered worlds, even Enzo who likes to come across as so worldly.
• Britney's high school didn't have enough kids for a football team so they had to combine with the junior high school.
• Britney, "Integration and diversity were never a problem because there was no diversity. Everybody is white."
• Enzo, though hailing from an almost opposite situation, was in awe at tales of the country.
  
• It's weird, I know. But I thought the conversation was interesting because it shows that America is so huge and each area of the country is distinctively unique, yet in the end ... we're all Americans, despite the accents and surroundings. I know friends from England were amazed at how big the country really is.
  
• I'm glad I've lived in many different settings from rural to urban -- it seems this crew on the show really knows nothing other than their own little worlds.
  

Matt has some funky pajamas.

Big Brother 12 - Sunday Live Feeds, July 25

Nothing to see here today, move along. I'm just about serious. The hamsters do absolutely nothing gameworthy on Sundays. BB definitely has to do something to switch things up some.

Here are a few bits and pieces:

• Brendon and Rachel made out.
• Brendon and Rachel told each other how much they care for each other.
• Brendon and Rachel sucked face.
• Kathy campaigned and threw Rachel under the bus.
• With Brendon holding PoV, that does Kathy no good. She's up against Andrew, not Rachel.
• They laid around in the sun.
• They played pool.
• They played in the pool.
• Kristen told Hayden that if she gets HOH, she wants Rachel out.
• You go girl.
• Brendon showed his ignorance of the game by saying that he thinks the next HOH comp will be endurance, too.
• They don't ever have endurance HOH comps back to back.
• Kathy's getting desperate.
• It ain't gonna help.
• That's that.
