Big Brother - Friday Live Feeds - August 20

Britney shoots herself in the head after talking to Brendon.

Welcome back to the world of Have Not, Brendon and Enzo!

Here are the day's events from inside that Big Brother House of Loquacious Losers:

• The hamsters barely had time to awaken and eat when BB held the Have Not comp for the week.
• I'm talking 11:30-ish their time.
• Brendon and Enzo get to have quality time together in the Have Not room while eating their broccoli and bean dip.
• I like broccoli, bean dip not so much.
• Whatever went on during the comp, Britney the hostess wore an Alice in Wonderland type dress and the hamsters now have a grill.
• They got steaks, too.
• Except Brendon and Enzo.
• Enzo isn't a happy camper. He shouldn't be. He should have won some comps by now.
• Brendon will be a definite nomination.
• The other will probably be Enzo.
• Matt told Britney that Enzo is the only one who's never been on the block.
• Maybe it will kick start his game.
• Britney's been talking to everyone.
• Her talk with Brendon was a mix of threats and friendship loyalty promises.
• He reminded her that if she broke her word and put him on the block ... if he won POV and stays, she will be his target.
• He reminded her that if she puts him on the block and he goes, he will unite with Kathy and Rachel to vote against her if she makes it to the final two.
• He told her if he stays, they can work together and she can't trust anyone.
• On a lighter note, on his way out the door he told her if she puts him up he'll be mad for 35 minutes and then get over it.
• After he closed the door, she loaded her gun (hand) and shot herself in the head.
• Hayden and Britney talked about not trusting Matt.
• Most people don't trust Matt.
• And, they shouldn't.
• The TV screen has up Nominations Today.
• I believe it will be Enzo and Brendon.
• I'll let you know.
  

Hand down the pants, hand down the pants
Looking like a weirdo with your hand
Down your pants.

I know, I know. I've said it before. But he keeps on doing that! Sheesh!

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Into Friday Morning, August 20

Britney with her HOH goody basket,
checking out the Hamburger Helper.

They've confined Brendon to a small space,
where he will spend the week until eviction.

Matt tries to scare Britney by holding up
her pageant photo to the camera.

Well, now the house is just silly. Here's what happened during the overnight hours in that Big Brother House of Turning Tables Once Again:

• My TV Squad review of the show is up.
  
• Lane told Matt that Enzo will freak out if he goes on the block.
• Matt said he himself might as well go up.
• Everyone knows (except maybe Brendon who might be holding out hope on Britney's promise not to put him on the block or backdoor him) that Brendon is THE target this week.
• Brendon probably suspects it. He gave Matt his word and then backdoored him directed by Pretzel Logic.
• I liked the album Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan.
  
• I didn't like the Rachel Pretzel Logic message so much.
• "Who wants to see my HOH room?" Actually, most really seemed to be happy with little faking it this time.
• Britney got what she considers bad photos of herself and Nick (her fiance), CheezIts, PlayDoh (sp), Lady Gaga music, Hamburger Helper (as her family or, at least her and Nick, have a Hamburger Helper night every week) and other goodies.
• Matt and the boys wondered if, since Kathy was the saboteur, was it possible that she's the one who left the pretzel message and not Rachel?
• Enzo doesn't think Kathy was coordinated enough to do it.
• He might be right.
  
• Although his own performances aren't all that much more impressive than Kathy's.
• Britney already managed to lock herself out of the HOH room and had to get BB to open it for her.
• They talked about the live feeds fans. Britney watched a lot of the feeds.
• They aren't being mean to Brendon's face.
• But Enzo does his The Face behind his back.
• Lane mimicked his walk leaving rooms.
• Brendon does have a weird walk, but sheesh!
• Britney and Ragan wonder why Brendon keeps hanging out with everyone.
• Um ... what else is he to do? Stay alone in a corner?
• Hayden, Lane and Enzo are actually having decent conversations with Brendon ... until he turns his back.
• Brendon told Enzo that BB indeed told him to "undo it" after he told Britney that he was putting her on the block.
• Interesting, eh? He said that's why he put Matt on the block.
• The Diary Room was calling them in throughout the night. Someone must be getting paid shift differential pay.
• Lane thinks he's being portrayed as an idiot. Hayden told him probably all three of them -- Lane, Enzo and Hayden -- are being portrayed as idiots.
  
• They started playing pranks on each other to scare each other.
• I lied in the Brendon screen cap above.
• They didn't confine him in a small space.
• He's hiding to leap out and scare Hayden but BB hasn't turned the lights out yet.
• He ended up giving it up.
• They're finally in bed.
  

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds After the Eviction - August 19

Britney's Head of Household win coincides with her 23rd birthday.

Lane started building a castle out of Sweet Tarts, then abandoned Hayden with Brendon on it.

Tonight is the happiest house I've ever seen on the show. Here's what's happened in the Land of Happy Hamsters:

• Matt told them about how he thought Rachel went through his things and found the POV.
• They all talked about how bad Matt's $1 lie was and no one believed him.
• They, or at least Matt, know that the saboteur got $20,000. Interesting how they know that, eh?
• They still think Kathy was the saboteur.
• Britney keeps breaking into spontaneous happy dances and saying it's her birthday, too.
• Enzo is worried that he'll go on the block.
• Worrying won't do him any good.
  
• I think, despite her promise to Brendon, she'll be putting Brendon and Enzo on the block.
• The vote will wham bam Brendon.
• Matt told Britney that Enzo needs to experience the block -- everyone else has been up now except him.
• Britney told him she was hoping to have a pawn volunteer.
• She also told Matt she has no intention of keeping her deal with Brendon.
• She's thinking of mentioning that it's for Nick in her speech.
• That's the fiance Nick.
• Other than that, not much action yet.
• No one is being mean to Brendon, although Britney and Ragan keep doing happy dances and winning poses behind his back.
  

Big Brother - Live Eviction Show Blog Party - August 19

Welcome back my friends
To the show that never ends
I'm glad you could attend,
Step inside, step inside ...

-- Emerson, Lake and Palmer from the "Brain Salad Surgery" album

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.

Tonight should be fun!

Julie announced that the saboteur is still in the house but the reign of terror is over. Ragan had done one last sabotage -- a note reading "I know your secret" placed under Enzo's pillow. They all think it's Kathy.

Matt put Kathy up. The vote:

Hayden --> Kathy
Enzo --> Kathy
Ragan --> Kathy
Matt --> Kathy
Britney --> Kathy

Kathy out 5-0

Britney is the new HOH. Going into commercial, Julie said she won't be the only one. I'm guessing double eviction.

Yep -- fast forward double eviction next week.

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Into Thursday, August 19

He can smile and have fun!

My previous report covered most of the happenings. But here's what's gone down since Hayden broke the pool cue (what a shame):

• Ragan, the loyal sidekick, encouraged Matt to keep trying for votes and said he could probably get them.
• We all know Matt doesn't really care about the votes.
• Lane packed. It's standard practice for both nominees to pack before the show.
• There's still a lot of time before the show.
• Matt said he'd leave his skull and crossbones pirate flag if he goes.
• He's not going to leave that flag.
• Britney fussed about the food and tea.
• Matt, Britney and Ragan are looking forward to real food soon.
• Hayden shaves everywhere.
• We needed to know that, huh?
• EVERYONE in the house likes and trusts Hayden.
• Perhaps he's the one they should consider the real threat.
• In various groups, they memorized and studied things over and over again.
• The entire Brigade was allowed to do a Diary Room session.
• Most (except Kathy and Brendon) think that Kathy is the saboteur.
• Hayden and Enzo are still awake as I get this posted. They're in their beds with the lights out. They should be asleep!
  

My review of last night's show is up on TV Squad. Please go give it a gander. Merci!
