Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Into Tuesday Night - August 10

What? I haven't posted since early morning? Yikes! Well, y'see ... so much in the house this season is a bit of deja vu all over again. You know ... lather, rinse, repeat. And repeat and repeat. Here are today's happenings from inside that Big Brother House of Billiards Buffoons:

• BB actually woke them up before 9 AM their time. Oh my.
• Enzo sees through floater Kathy's all of a sudden joining in on the brigade against Brendon and Rachel now that it's the thing to do.
• Not The Brigade, just your basic generic brigade, mind you.
• With actual The Brigade discussions, no matter how "close" they seem, Ragan and Britney aren't a part of the circle jer... um, inner circle.
• That was horrible of me, but I couldn't resist. My apologies.
• The plan remains to let Brendon and Rachel think they're voting out Brendon.
• But they'll be voting out Rachel.
• They practiced their memory testing questions. Some are so obscure they could never be used on the show.
• Rachel thinks they might still be planning to get rid of her even after Brendon's big mean POV meeting speech.
• Britney and Ragan continued to trash talk Brendon and Rachel.
• Rachel continued to whine that everyone hates her.
• Brendon continued to patronize Rachel in an annoying and condescending way.
• They all napped at one time or another.
• I couldn't nap. My boss hates it when I do that.
• Lane and Matt think that Rachel is the saboteur. Lane is sure of it because the sequence of who changes their batteries when changed.
• It must be a conspiracy.
• I can see Rachel over there on the grassy knoll now.
• No one suspects Ragan.
• Then again, the saboteur has only released a video and no havoc.
• They played pool.
• Rachel talked about Las Vegas.
• Brendon told Hayden not to trust Lane because he's the saboteur.
  
• Hayden told Lane that Brendon thinks he (Lane) is the saboteur.
• That's just silly thinking!
• Brendon is trying to torment the hamsters, but he is so not an Evel Dick.
• Rachel thinks everyone hates her.
• Rinse and repeat.
  

Big Brother 12 - LIve Feeds Into Tuesday Morning - August 10

Matt is his usual stance, hand down the pants.

It's another evening gone by with Rachel and Brendon on the block and a saboteur loose in the house. Now, I'm kind of wondering when the saboteur is going to get down to business. But Rachel and Brendon are certainly letting their presence be known! Here's what's happened in that Big Brother House of Splitting Soulmates:

• Lots of trash talk about Rachel and Brendon, often with Britney and Ragan leading the brigade.
• No, not THAT Brigade. Just your basic everyday brigade.
• Rachel told Kathy what a dear, sweet person she (Rachel) is in "real life."
• Brendon didn't back down from his POV speech in which he called Matt a snake, Ragan two-faced and Britney a spoiled brat.
• Rachel and Brendon are still hoping to turn the vote to Brendon getting evicted instead of Rachel as she has a better chance of winning.
• Yet another pool tournament went down. I'm so tired of watching them play pool!
• Kathy told the HOH group (all of the house except herself, Rachel and Brendon) that Rachel's feelings were hurt that she wasn't invited to join them.
• Rachel cried.
• Brendon, despite his meanie act, still cooks for others.
  
• Kathy, Ragan, Lane and Hayden cleaned the kitchen. Enzo took credit for it.
• He was joking, but Enzo is really a slacker!
• Matt thinks Rachel went through his bags. Of course, no one knows that he has the Diamond Veto hidden away.
• BB gave them more alcohol.
• Rachel said that Enzo and Hayden are the only ones who have ever made an effort to be nice to them (Brendon and herself) in the house.
• Enzo and Hayden are playing an excellent social game.
• Rachel is not.
• Rachel has apparently been prying in the Diary Room about Matt's mysterious $1 Pandora's Box ... we got bubbles.
• Brendon noted that it's a "recycled prize."
• Brendon thinks the big alliance in the house is Britney, Matt, Lane and Ragan.
• Everyone is still leading Brendon and Rachel to believe it will be Brendon going out the door Thursday.
• It won't be Brendon.
• Rachel has some kind of idea in her head and is all excited about it, not telling Brendon, wanting to get information out of the Diary Room ... I haven't clue.
• Neither does Brendon.
• Brendon is ticked that she won't tell him what's going on.
• She said she can't talk about her Diary Room sessions.
• Brendon grabbed the rules book for the house and brought it to where they're sleeping.
• Rachel and Brendon read some sections, like the one about not singing, and eventually went to sleep.
• I have no idea what's going on with Rachel. I tend to think the excitement's in her own head, not anything which actually transpired in the DR.
• They're all asleep as I post this.
  

Survivor: Nicaragua Cast Announced

The CBS website is live and the cast has been officially announced. The spoilers had it right. I'm not going to be able to watch Jimmy Johnson without thinking of those late night ads for male enhancement pills. Ack! I'm posting the "Meet the Cast" video here and, as I have time, I'll be taking a closer look. You KNOW I'm going to be cheering on the older tribe!

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Monday Daytime - August 9

Rachel did this ...

... just so she could do this and mess it up.

The big news of the day is that Britney didn't use the power of veto. But we already knew she wouldn't use it. But ... there is some related news to the PoV meeting.

• After several of the hamsters were up most of the night, BB woke them up a bit after 9 AM their time.
• The vote is still planned to be 6-0 for a Rachel eviction.
• Lane promised that if Matt's in the finals with Enzo or Hayden and he (Lane) is on the jury, he'll vote Matt for the win for his sick wife.
• Hopefully, if that's the case, Lane will snap Matt like a twig when he finds out the wife disease is a lie.
• They had the veto meeting.
• Apparently Brendon and Rachel kicked in their plan to alienate Brendon from the house so that they'll vote to keep Rachel.
• He insulted Britney and Lane (and probably more) in his veto speech.
• Rachel cried, horrified at Brendon's behavior.
• Yeah, right.
• Brendon and Rachel think their plan is working.
• The others see through it, plan to let Brendon and Rachel think they're changing their minds for a Brendon eviction.
• Then they'll unanimously vote out Rachel.
• Everyone except Kathy, Rachel and Brendon are in HoH going over questions for the upcoming comp (which they think will be a quiz).
• Rachel is sucking up to Kathy.
• That's about it for now.
• I haven't seen anything from the saboteur and no one is thinking Ragan.
  

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Into Monday Morning - August 9

We didn't expect earthshaking developments and we didn't get them. Here's the latest from inside the Big Brother House of Delayed Emotional Growth:

• They played yet another pool tournament.
• When Rachel joined the others, her fake loud laugh became even more fake and louder.
• Brendon and Rachel talked more about wishing they could get Britney to use the veto.
• Brendon thinks he should be the one to leave because she stands a better chance of winning.
• Like Brendon or Rachel have a choice in the matter, eh?
• Once again Rachel offered Britney the $5,000 to use the veto.
• If she doesn't want to use it on her, use it on Brendon!
• No, no, a hundred times no.
• Britney said that using it on Brendon is using it and she's not planning on using the veto at all.
• Rachel told Enzo that he and Hayden will be targets after she and Brendon are gone.
• Rachel thinks Enzo is playing a good social game. She thinks she's not doing well with the social game.
• You think?
• BB gave them alcohol.
• Rachel got drunk.
• She did a stripper routine in the kitchen, then went on to make her bed in her underwear looking so naked-ish that I couldn't use it as a screen cap on this blog.
• Now Regan, Matt, Hayden, Lane and Enzo are in HOH talking about how embarrassing her behavior was and how bad it is for Brendon, too.
• They don't think they'll last as a couple outside of the house.
• I don't think so either!
• Brendon is saying he's going to go all Evel Dick on the house if Rachel goes.
• Brendon never watched that season, so he's only heard tales.
