Big Brother 12 - Friday Live Feeds - August 13

Nominations Today ...
... but not until after the saboteur!

So, Brendon's reign of terror has begun. Unfortunately, there's not as much action as I had hoped. Here are today's happenings from inside the Big Brother House of Revenge Gone Soft:

• Ragan talked to Brendon. No one mispronounced "neanderthal." The word didn't even come up.
• Instead, Ragan told his life story of being picked on and being an outcast.
• @@
• Brendon's heartstrings were tugged. Oh geez. Everything's gone all namby-pamby betwixt the two. They apologized to each other.
• Ragan told Brendon only one person was suggesting they vote out Brendon (as per his wishes) instead of Rachel last week.
• He told him it was Enzo (which is true).
• Ragan told him he would work with him and help further him in the game.
• Brendon bought what he was selling.
• Britney thinks everyone should vote the way the house wants, not what Brendon wants.
• Of course, she's sure that she will be his main target.
• Brendon told Kathy she's safe and he won't put her on the block.
  
• He told her he appreciates she's always been there for people who need someone.
• Of course, he told Enzo or Hayden (can't remember which) last night that getting rid of Kathy would be a waste of an HOH.
• Britney and Brendon talked. He said Rachel always defended her and he's only starting to realize why.
• He apologized to her.
• Man, is he working the crowd. It's too bad that he hooked up with Rachel in the beginning. Although I think he's very controlling in these conversations, he puts on those puppy dog eyes and sounds oh-so-sincere.
• Britney told him that everyone talked last minute and all decided to keep him in the house then.
• That contradicts what Ragan said. Ragan told him the truth.
• Brendon told her that he hates floaters.
• Although Britney doesn't seem to have any alliance beside Lane, she's shown herself to be a competitor by winning vetos.
• Then he said he'd like to be in the final three with her and Matt.
• Um. Okay.
• Lane was next. Remember, Brendon is sure that Lane is the saboteur.
• Lane told Brendon that he didn't think Brendon's wild throwing of the ball in POV was unsportsman-like.
• Oh, geez. Lane has fallen under the spell!
• Lane hinted that he'd like Britney to be targeted, but didn't come out and say it.
• Ragan remembers that it's the anniversary of Chima's meltdown.
  
• Boy, he does know the BB history!
• After an outdoor lockdown, there were escargot and eggplant.
• Poor Britney, Matt and Ragan. Well, eggplant is doable, I guess.
  
• Enzo told Lane he doesn't want to go up and talk to Brendon.
• But he went.
• It's clear that Brendon really likes Enzo.
• But he thinks he's a slacker and needs to step up his game -- start winning something ... anything!
• It was like a coach pep talking a wayward athlete.
• However, it's clear that he has no intention of putting Enzo on the block.
• Enzo acted sincere throughout.
• As sincere as you can act with a Bayonne accent, anyway.
• Brendon told Hayden that he's worried because Enzo never fights to win comps.
• He also said that Lane's never been on the block and he'd like to shake things up a bit.
• Hayden, like all of the Brigade, tries to push for Britney and Ragan nominations, not Lane.
• Brendon said he's really leaning towards a Lane/Britney nom.
• Now, WE know in that scenario, Britney will go unless she wins POV.
• Hayden knows it, too.
• Heck, Brendon can probably guess it.
• Oh! Oh! Saboteur!
• The latest (blocked to the feeds) was that there is a male/female relationship in the house prior to the start of the game.
• Both Britney and Kathy vehemently deny any such relationship and they're the only two women presently in the house.
• But then again, Brendon knows the saboteur lied about him before.
  
• Okay, no one's buying it.
• They all think the saboteur is just making stuff up.
• They're right. And Ragan is making stupid decisions which task he undertakes and the messages he's sending.
• The hamsters can see it's been going from messing with one of them to another to another.
• Matt is sure it's BB.
• Britney doesn't think there are any Jewish people in Arkansas.
• Oh my.
• She lives in a way different world than I do.
• Brendon decided he would put Lane and Britney on the block.
• Then he decided to tell them.
• He told Matt first. Shh ... it's a secret.
• Matt ran and told Hayden.
• Then he told Britney who took it well, but then went crying to Ragan and Matt.
• Then Brendon got called to the Diary Room.
• OOPS! He's not allowed to warn them ahead of time point blank like that!
• So he talked to Britney again.
• She kept telling him how much she wanted to stay in the house and that she wouldn't target him.
• He seemed to believe her and told her that she might have changed his mind.
• Then again, he might be lying!
• He never got the chance to tell Lane that he's going up as they put up trivia and blocked the feeds.
• I've been trying to wait it out, but I think I'll get this posted.
• I'll update the bottom of this (under this line) when they finally come back and I find out who's on the block.

NOMINATIONS ARE IN -- Britney must have changed Brendon's mind when they talked. Lane is on the block with Ragan.

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Into Friday Dawn - August 13

Brendon, alone in his HoH room, reads his letter.

Well, well, well ... if you read my last post, you know Brendon won HoH. He made Britney, Matt and Ragan the Have Nots. And here we go from there:

• Ragan and Britney talked about Enzo throwing comps. Ragan thinks he (Enzo) has no loyalty to anyone.
• Enzo wants Matt to report back to him if anyone (Ragan or Britney) throw him under the bus.
• Enzo did do poorly in the comp -- he ran about even with Kathy.
• Britney and Ragan cried during the comp.
  
• Enzo didn't.
• Britney and Ragan cried after the comp.
• Enzo didn't.
• Now Britney and Ragan regret not voting out Rachel. But how could they have known?
• Ragan wallowed in self pity.
• Meanwhile, Enzo and Hayden are sitting pretty. Brendon thinks they're his alliance and were pressured to vote with the house.
• Just as Enzo wanted it to go.
• There was some kind of power outage/flickering. They all thought it was the saboteur.
• But no. The saboteur is sitting sniveling and saying he hates himself. He says he needed to be taken down a peg.
• But it's far more than a single peg!
• Kathy seems so relieved not to be on slop again.
• Britney asked the DR if America would vote on foods for them. They told her they couldn't tell her.
• Kathy told her that means yes as they flat out told her no last week when she asked.
• HoH room reveal time came and all attended. Brendon got, in addition to the usual bunch of goodies, a picture of Rachel.
• Be still my beating heart.
• After the HoH "party" broke up, Hayden and Enzo remained in the room with Brendon.
• Thus furthering their "alliance."
• Brendon said Lane wasn't a target of his right now.
• But he does think Lane is the saboteur.
• They think getting rid of Kathy would be a waste of a HoH.
• Throughout the after-comp hours, all complained how much they hurt from doing the comp.
• Enzo jokingly got mad at Hayden for mocking his performance in the comp in the diary room.
• When Brendon questioned Enzo about the vote change to evict Rachel, Enzo told him it was the whole house but that he should watch out for Britney and Ragan in particular.
• Uh-oh. Could the Brigade be crumbling? When talking alone, Hayden and Enzo said they think they can trust Brendon more than they can Matt.
• You know, I think they just might be right. Matt is such a snake!
• Right now they're still focusing on getting Brendon to nominated Britney and Ragan.
• We'll see.

I'm getting this post up at 9:01 PM ET. The feeds are still blocked. But when they come up, the newest news will be on the top.

Big Brother 12 - Live Eviction, HOH Episode Blog Party Post - Aug. 12

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.

The vote:
Enzo --> Rachel
Britney --> Rachel
Kathy --> Rachel
Ragan -- Rachel
Lane --> Rachel
Hayden --> Rachel

Unanimous, Rachel is gone.

No HOH by end of show, but not really an endurance. I'll open up a separate post for it and hope the feeds come up before they finish.

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Into Thursday Dawn - August 12

Late night whisperings.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Day Camp Rejects:

• Ragan and Britney trash Brendon and Rachel at practically every moment.
• Then they go hide from them because they're scared of them.
• Apparently the cake they had during their feeds blocked halfway party had their pictures on it.
  
• Rachel saved the pieces with Brendon and herself.
• Britney mocked that move.
• Rachel told Brendon they have a once in a lifetime love.
• Yeah, right. Come back and tell us in a year what's going on.
• Hayden made programming decisions for his "Just the Tip" show he plans. Enzo is allowed a 30 second appearance, but is not allowed to take over the show.
• The Meow Meow thinks just by appearing on it, he will take it over.
• Rachel cried.
• They're in lockdown and wonder why it's so long -- usually the extended lockdowns are for endurance comp set-ups.
• I really hope it's not yet another endurance.
  
• Rachel gave Brendon all of her sentimental goodies from their relationship.
• She's sure she's leaving although the house is still trying to convince them that Brendon's going.
• Rachel and Brendon aren't even trying to fit in with the house, exiling themselves away most of the time.
• Matt cut Enzo's hair.
• Enzo should keep his hat on.
• Rachel went to the DR with her glasses on for the first time. We'll see if that makes it through editing.
• They did the 10 PM PT "Just the Tip" show. I'm not overly impressed. But at least they're talking to us.
• Rachel and Brendon practiced skills like dropping things straight, etc.
• The other quizzed themselves on past comps, dates, etc.
• If the backyard set-up is elaborate, it's not going to be a quiz.
• Enzo said that if Kathy wins HOH, he'll circumcise himself.
• Well, that might be interesting.
• Taking a break from trashing Brendon and Rachel, they mocked Kathy.
• The Brigade met up and decided if Brendon wins HOH this week, it isn't a big deal.
  
• They'll just send Britney or Ragan home and go after Brendon the next week.
• Lane, Enzo and Hayden discussed whether they'll reveal the Brigade at final six or seven.
• The three stooges were up most of the night, just heading to bed as I post this.
• Rachel should be leaving with a 6-0 vote tonight.
• Enzo and Hayden are going to tell Brendon the house pressured them.
