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.
