Big Brother 12 - Live Eviction Show Blog Party - Aug. 5

The show is about to start on the East Coast. As it 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. Everyone is welcome to party, er ... hang out in comments and share your thoughts!

Since the houseguests have been on lockdown since 6 AM yesterday while something has been being built in the yard, they think it's going to be an endurance comp for HOH. I don't think it will be as the last endurance comp was just two weeks ago, but you never know. If it is endurance, I'll create a separate post to cover it.

Hmmm ... Julie says they'll crown the most powerful HOH EVER. Something's up. It doesn't quite sound like endurance, but something.

Whoa! Kristen's boyfriend at home is ticked off!

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

Buh-bye Kristen

It is endurance -- they're on a ledge on a huge revolving paint can with paint splattered at them. I'll be opening a new post with screen caps and for commentary when the feeds return. The first person out is the only Have Not for the week.

The choice for saboteur was Ragan. The HOH has to open Pandora's Box (and get a secret power) to unleash the saboteur.

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Into Thursday Dawn, Aug. 5

Rachel never looked better!

Good morning, blog guests! My review of last night's show is up over on TV Squad. And we're about to start the morning of a live show day. That means they'll have to scramble around cleaning the pig sty they've created all week. I think it would be easier to keep things semi-clean all week, but I guess I'm wrong. Here are the happenings from inside that Big Brother House of the Sinking Sun:

• Kristen cried.
• Britney and Rachel think that Enzo would win in a final two with just about anyone.
• Yo, Jersey Boy! You're too well-liked!
• Rachel and Britney took another bubble bath complete with mud masks ... as you can see.
• Rachel is offended that Kristen had the nerve to approach Brendon for a vote.
• Kristen has been pulling straws and telling her tale to all.
• All except Rachel. Maybe Rachel thinks Kristen went after her man by asking him for a vote.
• Brendon thinks that Ragan isn't a great ally as he floats and is too close with Matt.
• Brendon, Britney and Rachel don't think there's a "boy alliance."
• Brendon and Rachel have really turned on their alliance with Matt. They think he's sneaky and should go.
• Britney told Matt and Ragan that they want Matt up if Brendon gets HOH.
• Britney, after the bubble bath, pretty much reported everything to the guys.
• She really needs to be careful.
• Is there someone named Kathy in the house?
• Matt and Ragan discussed possibly throwing the HOH to each other.
• Ragan told Matt it would be best to get Rachel out first, then go after Brendon.
• I think he's right.
• Due to the long lockdown and construction in the yard, they think it might be an endurance comp.
• I don't think so as there was an endurance comp just two weeks ago.
• I could be wrong.
• They tried to pump up Kathy for the HOH comp.
• Yeah, like that will work.
  

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Wednesday Into the Evening - Aug. 4

This is why I don't have much fodder for live feed reports.

But then comes this --Ragan wearing Rachel's hair extensions and imitating Rachel's laugh and Vegas gal bit. This was in front of Rachel. She thought it was funny. She has no clue how ridiculous she is.

In other house news:

• It's Rachel's period time. How are we supposed to tell PMS from her normal abnormal behavior?
• Rachel got the HOH camera, took shots, and then decided she had to make a video.
• The memory card is probably the one which comes with the camera. She had to delete a bunch of photos.
• Both Matt and Ragan put on Rachel's hair extensions and mocked her.
• She thinks the mocking is funny.
• On indoor lockdown for the day as they build the HOH comp in the yard, most napped on and off.
• Kristen has been on the verge of crying most of the day.
• She and Kathy think they might have Lane's vote.
• They don't.
• Brendon and Rachel think Britney is more loyal to them than Matt.
• Neither are faithful to them.
• The show fans aren't faithful to them either.
• It's possible that the entire universe, if they were to watch them in action, wouldn't be loyal to Brendon and Rachel.
• Lots of small talk about the "tour" they're planning after the show -- rodeo stuff, singing, you-name-it.
• Delusional, I say.
• I enjoy the conversations with Lane, Britney and Enzo the most.
• Kristen cut Hayden's hair. Yes, you heard me. Wait until you see it!
  
• But still ... I miss the drama of other seasons.
• It still looks like Kristen will be out tomorrow.
  

After the haircut. Can you tell?

Big Brother 12 - POV Episode Blog Party Post - Aug, 4

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.

POV is down to between Britney and Hayden. As it stands: Enzo has the 3-D flat screen TV, Rachel has $5000, Ragan has a Veto ticket enabling him to compete in any veto comp he chooses, Kristen is (at the moment) holding the POV. Hayden got eliminated ... took the POV from Kristen. Britney won the game and took POV from Hayden, giving him solitary confinement.

Despite a possible deal, Britney didn't use the POV as there was a chance Lane would go up as a replacement.

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Into Wednesday Morning - Aug. 4

Half the time when I look at Hayden, the word "Duh?" comes to mind. I know he's not dumb, but his facial expressions tend to betray him.

It's still not all that exciting in the house and probably won't be until the new HOH shake-up this week. But here are the evening and nighttime happenings from inside that Big Brother House of Hokey Hamsters:

• Kristen is still working for votes.
• Hayden doesn't want Kristen to think he's working anyone for votes (and he isn't -- he knows he has them).
• Ragan is still all full of BB advice for anyone who will listen. "I recommend ..."
• Ragan is definitely getting to the annoyance level. I liked him in the beginning.
• Ragan told Kristen he doesn't think the guys (Brigade Boys) are working together. That's the opposite of what he had told Rachel. He supposedly has thought it over.
• Some expert on BB ... can't see the Brigade for the trees.
• Or something like that.
• They got eight beers and two bottles of wine. Woot.
• Rachel and Brendon are trying to work Hayden into their alliance.
• They told him they don't really trust Matt -- everyone knows he's sneaky.
• Well, they have that right.
• Ragan talked about the Jokersupdates site. It would be nice if one of these hamsters mentioned US!
• Rachel and Brendon got hot and heavy undercovers again. I switched the cam. I was so over them before they even began.
• Enzo talked about the characters in his family. "Little Head, ReeRee, etc."
• It's more interesting listening to Lane, Enzo, Kathy, and Britney talk about their lives and families than watching either showmance.
• Hayden and Kristen kissed a bit, but their relationship has really quieted down since both went on the block.
  

Enzo quotes:
"All they do is talk of season 11. We're our own season. Let us be peacocks and FLY!"
"Just when I talk, I make everyone laugh." -- the accent
"Tri-State area is another [bleeping] animal, we have an authenticity. We're straight-up legit."

Yeah, I too live in New Jersey not all that far from where Enzo's from (sans that accent) and we're too legit to quit.
That said, this is the end of this live feeds report!
