Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Into the Dawn, Thursday July 29

"I'll cry. I'll cry, cry, cry ... 96 tears ..."
- a nod to Question Mark and the Mysterians

A new showmance? Say it ain't so!

Okay, it ain't so on the romance. It is so on the Andrew crying scene although that's changed, too. Here's the scoop from last night in that Big Brother House of Manic Andrew and the Ship of Fools:

• First, not really in the house, my review of last night's show is up on TV Squad. Give it a like on Facebook! :-)
• Andrew cried about his inevitable exit all because Matt made him a pawn.
• Enzo has been having severe constipation problems due to the two weeks of slop and its related extras.
• While the others made dinner, Enzo begged for ExLax and went into graphic details of his woes.
• Andrew contemplated eating as they can't penalize him anyway as he's surely going out the door.
• Rachel talked about dates with rich men, going off to Hawaii or Aspen with them, then dumping them.
• Britney knew those kind of dates but her dates tend more towards The Olive Garden.
  
• Kristen does not have dates like Rachel.
  
• I hope that Britney and Kristen's dating history is more the norm. I'm just glad I'm not in the dating scene.
• Rachel claims she doesn't sleep with those dates.
• Suuure.
• Enzo finally went. And went, and went.
  
• Britney told Lane that she would go after Kristen next week, not Rachel and Brendon.
• Lane told her the rest of the house would be angry at her if she did that.
• Rachel would like liquor. Some things never change.
• When Matt asked Lane why he shaves his arms, Lane said that's what Texans do -- wrestle in back yards, shave each other's arms, and carry guns.
• I thought New Jersey had bad representation this season. I stand corrected.
• Lane lied to Enzo, telling him that if she wins, Britney will put Brendon and Rachel on the block. Hmmm ...
• Andrew called a big house meeting, but unlike Rachel's previous meeting, there were no fireworks.
• He apologized to Brendon and Rachel for saying he'll target them, apologized to Kristen for yelling at her, then cried and told everyone how much he loves them.
• Then he went to his Have Not room to pray and cry some more.
• 96 tears is probably a low estimate.
• Later he would turn into Happy Smiley Boy. His manic behavior is starting to get me on edge.
• The hamsters think he's way too volatile and unpredictable to keep. They're probably right.
• But Kathy is boring. As a viewer, I find Andrew more entertaining.
• Ragan wants to protest a day longer on slop than other week's.
• Brendon suggested a strongly worded letter.
• I can't help but think I might like Brendon if he wasn't glued to Rachel.
• Enzo thinks his fan base had to increase with The Amazing Enzo shown on the POV show. Meow meow.
• They're all asleep as I post this. I don't really expect things to change today -- it still looks almost unanimous for an Andrew exit.
  

Karma, karma, karma chameleon

At least Matt didn't wear the funky pajamas all evening.

Bayonne's best ... not saying much about Bayonne, eh? Well, he is better than the last BB hamster from Bayonne, the expelled Justin from season two.

Eww! Eww!

Big Brother 12 - Episode 9 Blog Party - July 28

The show is about to start here on the East Coast. As it airs, I'll post important updates in this entry. But the real fun is in the comments section. Everyone is invited to join in with your thoughts! Later tonight (or, worst case scenario, early in the morning), my full show review will be posted over on TV Squad.

Lane's the first out in POV. Matt is out. Kathy is out. Brendon and Andrew tied at 2 points. Rachel none. Three points to win. Brendon won POV - house will be taken over by Brenchal.

Brendon didn't use the POV to save anyone as Rachel would go up.

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Wednesday Daytime, July 28

Finally, some action in the house.

Enough action as to bring a tear to Andrew's eye. But, it was his fault. He started it.

Here's the skinny:

• Not long after they got up this morning, Andrew went to the bathroom where Kristen was and said, "You two are playing me like a fiddle." He walked out.
• Matt, in the kitchen heard it.
• Andrew and Kristen went on to have a confrontation in the bedroom. She is TICKED.
• He claims that she's been there for Kathy and doesn't care about him.
• She said that she told both of them when they went on the block that she'd be there for them.
• She also said that she would specifically be there to console Kathy this week as she thought she needed her.
• Then she said Kathy came to her and Andrew never did.
• Andrew said he shouldn't have to come to her, she should come to him to console him.
• Andrew said that he has nobody in the house.
• Kristen said that Kathy didn't either and came to her -- had he come to her, she would be just as sympathetic with him.
• Andrew doesn't understand, doesn't think he should have to go to anyone, they should come to him.
• Andrew claimed his "you two" comment wasn't aimed at her.
• Kristen and Kathy were the only ones in the room at the time. Hence, they believe the "you two" comment must have been aimed at them.
  
• Everyone thinks that Andrew is on the edge and is digging his own grave.
• He is, but many of them threw their shovels of dirt on the grave long before his body was laid to rest.
• Kristen is obviously no longer the Invisible Hamster. Andrew's behavior has placed her on the front lines.
• Andrew cried in the Have Not room, alone again, naturally.
• Andrew told Kathy that he has no one and can't go to Brendon because he said he's after him.
• Enzo, Lane, and Ragan all have said they're voting Andrew out. Kristen is definitely voting him out with her buddy Hayden sure to follow suit. Britney doesn't like either Andrew or Kathy but has said she's voting Andrew out. Rachel has said all along that she wants to vote out Andrew over Kathy.
• Now, after the latest, even Brendon is talking about how he can't support his reasoning to keep Andrew in the house.
• Oh my ... will this be another unanimous vote? It could be!
• Kathy, perhaps eager to jump in on a rather safe deal, told Kristen that Andrew's been going around saying Kristen is running the house.
• Say what? I haven't heard him say that and it has no basis.
• Andrew told Ragan he loves and respects Brendon and his game.
• Brendon tried to console Andrew a bit and suggested he apologize to Kristen.
• Kathy told Enzo that Brendon flat-out told her he isn't voting to keep her because he doesn't feel he can control her actions.
• Does that mean he feels he can control Andrew? Hmmm ... maybe it's time for Brendon to do some damage control, eh?
• Enzo said that Andrew's getting desperate and will do anything for sympathy.
• Andrew went into the kitchen and cried some more while eating his baby food.
• Matt got his HOH camera and snapped a shot of miserable Andrew with his baby food.
• That's about it for now.
• At least Rachel and Britney aren't crying and Andrew doesn't dab his eyes carefully to keep his make-up from running.
  

The reason some men shave their heads.

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds - Into Wednesday Dawn, July 28

How cold is it in Los Angeles these days? If they were on the East Coast, they'd stay inside with air conditioning instead of bundling up with jackets and throws!


We need drama in the house. I've said it before, I'll probably say it again. Yet my words fall on deaf production ears. Maybe it's because I'm not supposed to talk about production, I don't know. Here are the latest non-happenings from that Big Brother House of Monotonous Miscast Misfits:

• BB yelled at the boys for trying to burn a lime with a magnifying glass in the yard.
• They threw apples around the yard.
• They made a football out of aluminum foil.
• Matt and Kathy said they think Rachel would voluntarily quit if Brendon got evicted.
• I don't think she would.
• Andrew doesn't seem to realize that he's not just the pawn anymore, but the target.
• Hayden burned his toe with the magnifying glass. Maybe he should focus it on his hair and get rid of some of that!
• BB took away Britney's hoodie because it had a trademarked logo on it. They're very restricted in that regard -- anything with logos needs permission or, better yet, advertising dollars thrown the BB way.
  
• Brendon said he'll have a prenuptial agreement before marriage as he's been burnt before. Rachel vehemently is against it. But not enough for interesting drama.
  
• They talked about how they couldn't believe the fights and drama past seasons.
• They don't seem to realize that watching a houseful of hamsters who get along is BORING and that they're most likely the most boring group ever cast in the show.
• For being so much "in love lust," Brendon and Rachel certainly have a lot of arguments. I think they might be starting to realize they jumped into this way too quickly and for all the wrong reasons.
• But maybe not.
• They (Brendon and Rachel) are still divided on the vote. As such, they'll virtually have NO vote and it will be up to the rest of the house.
• The rest of the house is planning to vote Andrew out at this time. They still want Kathy out, but Andrew is more of a priority for them right now.
• Matt cut Enzo's hair. Enzo said it was better than Rachel's haircutting efforts.
• Rachel and Britney trashed Kristen and Kathy while they took a bath in the HOH tub.
  
• Britney is upset that people think she's lived a privileged life just because she's been places on vacation.
• Both talked about working up to three jobs if needed to pay the bills and having to support themselves.
• They don't think that people who complain about the lack of money (Kathy, Kristen) need sympathy on the show -- they could be out working earning money instead of being on a reality show.
• OMG -- I actually agree with them there. I'm SO tired of people on these shows saying how much the need the money and how poor they are. I didn't ever think I'd agree with Britney and Rachel, but there you go. If folks NEED money so badly, they should be out WORKING (yes, it it takes two or three jobs -- I've done it myself over the years) instead of being on reality shows.
• There. I said it.
• That said, I'm not sure where Rachel's VIP cocktail waitress position falls in the world of working for a living, but ...!
• The guys played pool.
• BB - take that pool table away, please!
• Britney told Matt that Kristen would be Rachel's target if she won HOH.
• Ragan thinks a double eviction is coming up soon. I'd say in about two weeks -- sometime mid-August.
• Enzo has a lot of gas from the BB slop and baby food. He all but admitted to Britney that he cheated last week as a Have Not. There has been no penalty for that. However, I haven't seen him cheating this week.
• Ragan talked to the live feeds crowd while alone in the hammock before bed.
• He said that if he plans to throw the HOH this week (which he's leaning toward), he will wear a long-sleeved navy blue shirt.
• Oh goody, now we have some suspense for the live show. Thank you, Ragan. Please talk to us more.
  

Rub-a-dub-dub

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds - Tuesday Daytime July 27

Andrew makes faces at his bok choy.
He might be better off cooking it.

Seriously, something must be done to liven this house up. I'm talking seriously. Really. Here's the big scoop of the day from that Big Brother House Blatant Boredom:

• BB didn't wake them up until 9 AM their time today.
• Rachel made French toast for the Haves. Brendon questioned why she put sugar in it and said it wasn't needed as the syrup already had sugar. Brendon can't have the French toast anyway.
• I wonder why she put sugar in it, too.
  
• They talked about iPads and Twilight. Yawn.
• Brendon and Rachel kissed for a change.
• They talked about college.
• Someone made a mess in/on the HOH toilet. Matt suspects Enzo.
• Yeah, probably.
• Brendon and Rachel argued more about the vote. He still wants to keep Andrew, she wants to keep Kathy.
• Rachel, "Are you dating him or what?"
• Oh my.
• Andrew misplaced his yarmulke (or, as Rachel calls it, his "Yom Kippur")
• He found it. There was no conspiracy.
• They've napped and lazed around.
