Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Into Thursday Dawn, August 26

Ragan thinks the competition is geared towards Hayden and Lane.

Here's the skinny from inside that Big Brother House of a Defeated Diabolical Super Genius and His Little Buddy:

• In the beginning, they took turns practicing for the comp.
• Then Brendon and Enzo got ticked because they thought Britney was hogging the practice time.
• Lane told Enzo that Britney told him that Brendon is trying to get himself (Brendon), Ragan and Britney to work together.
• If they did work together, they could smash the non-comp-winning group.
• They have an ant infestation throughout the house.
• I guess that's better than bedbugs.
• Britney thinks it might not be a double eviction and that the catapult ball into segmented wooden doohickey is the trial set-up for HOH.
• She's wrong. Well, it could be HOH, but it's certainly a double eviction.
• Britney told Ragan that she believes Lane when he says that the only prize he took in the POV was the phone call.
• Britney tried to convince the Brigade Boys Minus One that they need to go after Brendon, not Ragan, next.
• Enzo wants to give a funny speech.
  
• Ragan stayed up way late practicing with Matt retrieving balls for him.
• He can't believe his fate comes down to a water-filled ball on a teeter-totter.
• Towards the time he gave up, Hayden came out.
• Hayden landed the ball wherever he said he would.
• Ragan feels defeated.
• Matt is still trying to pep talk his little buddy.
• Matt is resigned to going home.
  

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Through Tuesday, August 25

Britney, ace HOH camera photographer.

I feel like I'm watching study groups lately. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Knowing Every Minute of the Season:

• Yawn. BB let them sleep in until around noon their time.
• Precisely why I didn't bother putting up a report before tonight's episode on the east coast.
• I mean, we're talking studying for the comps and small talk.
• Along with a bit of fussing about being a penguin.
• Britney got the HOH camera and wanted to rush through it so she could write her blog.
• She apologized to America for sleeping so much and crying.
• She knows how we hate that.
• Matt told Brendon he has his vote in the jury.
• He probably lies.
• After an indoor lockdown, they returned to the yard to find the catapult ball into a segmented huge box doohickey.
• I believe my description is apt.
• However, I've included screen caps for clarification.
• Obviously, it's for one of the comps.
• While they've been talking a double eviction for weeks, it has dawned on them that this (or similar) comp was in the Chima double eviction.
• So they're practicing.
  
• They also have a theory that the ratings are so good that it will be a two-hour double eviction.
• Not so!
• Britney thinks she's going to go home with nothing as she's won no prizes.
• She had hoped to "start a new life" with at least the $50,000 winnings.
• Lane says he's in debt.
• I hope they enjoy their $750 a week stipend.
• The one they're going to have to watch out for in a house/event knowledge comp is Ragan.
  
• He's just about as determined as Brendon became after Rachel went.
• Matt has already given up. He's even asked Kristy (?) if he can have an acoustical guitar in the jury house. She seemed to think it would be fine.

Big Brother 12 - POV Show Blog Party Post - August 25

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.

Brendon won POV. Matt is on the block.

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Into Wednesday Dawn - August 25

If all goes to schedule and Matt leaves on Thursday, I will NOT miss "hand down your pants."

Here are the late night and overnight happenings from inside that Big Brother House of Alleged Alliances:

• Britney doesn't think Lane is there to win. She believes he's rich because of all he owns.
• In almost a psychic moment, Britney wondered what Lindsay Lohan is doing now on the day she was released early from jail.
• Ragan again told Matt "those four are working together."
• He means Lane, Enzo, Hayden and ... Britney.
• Ragan thinks Hayden is "shiesty."
• Lots of small talk.
• Lots more of going over events and memorizing them.
• Brendon, Lane, Enzo and Hayden aren't the scholars of memorizing the house -- Ragan is with Britney a close second.
• They all want Enzo to wear his head in photos and on Thursday.
• Oh, not his own head ... his penguin head!
• He hasn't been wearing it because he can't see in it.
• Enzo is the only one who doesn't think it will be a double eviction on Thursday.
• As I post this, Hayden and Enzo are quizzing each other on house events as Brendon sleeps in the Have Not room.
  

BB gave them badminton minus the net.

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Into Tuesday Evening - August 24

He DOES have eyes? Who knew?

Meow Meow Penguin

His feet still aren't quite right.
Mine aren't either.
Thankfully they don't look like that.

I realize I'm a bit late in posting this, but for all the excitement we'll see on Thursday, today was a bit uneventful. The most interesting thing is watching Ragan change to forge on after Matt goes. Here's the news from inside that Big Brother House of Lackadaisical Louts:

• Brendon got an official BB voice "thank you" for cleaning the mirrors in the kitchen.
• If I wanted to study every event of the season so far, this would have been the day to take my notes. Just about everyone was going over everything over and over ... and over again.
• Ragan was reciting comps backwards and forwards in addition to memorizing the counts of everything in the house.
• Since he knows Matt will be this week's target and that Matt threw him under the bus, he's changed.
• He's not going all drama and emotional.
• Apparently he thinks the best revenge (and the only way for him to stay in the house) is to win comps.
• He's become a studying machine.
• Matt has tried to come up with ways to campaign to stay and got the old Lecturing Ragan.
• "No, no, no. You're not listening to me. THEY want you to go. The boys, THEY want you out. It's not Britney or Brendon. THE BOYS want you out."
• Matt is resigned, only occasionally trying to work the crowd.
• Meanwhile, Ragan has memorized everything which has happened in the house by the day.
• An indoor lockdown today was weird -- all the doors within the house were locked.
• Most had been outside when the lockdown was announced, but Enzo got trapped napping in the HOH room.
• Enzo, Lane and Hayden think that Matt told Ragan about the Brigade.
• Matt, trying to deflect, told them he thinks Britney told them because she must have figured it out.
• Ragan only has an inkling that there's the big alliance.
  
• Most of the whole ordeal is paranoia that "Ragan knows too much."
• Matt told Lane and Hayden he's still loyal to the Brigade.
• Well, as loyal as he's ever been. He's mainly loyal to himself, I'd say. But he hasn't outed the Brigade ... yet.
• Enzo thinks the Have Not food is killing him. He can't even sleep well on the cot.
• He put in a request for more broccoli -- he doesn't like the slop and isn't happy with bean dip.
• He wishes he could put cheese on the broccoli.
• Hayden and Ragan did funny Brendon impersonations -- not mean, really. Brendon can talk on about his schooling and they both nailed it.
• Ragan told Matt that he thinks the "three boys" (Hayden, Lane and Enzo) have an alliance with Britney and that's why he's on the block.
• They're bored.
• So am I.
• And I'm tired of studying.
• What happened on day 21?
  

Lane is full of hot air?
