Big Brother - Power of Veto Show Blog Party Post - September 1

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.

Tomorrow night might present a programming dilemma for many of the readers ... and definitely for myself. In this area (NYC metro viewing area), no CBS affiliate will air the live eviction show before 1:37 AM ET. I'm hoping that one of the sites which airs the East Coast feed will have it at 8 PM ET. If not, I'll put up a post anyway, but will have to watch and write up the episode for TVS in the middle of the night. Then I'll have to go to work.

I don't like football and certainly don't like pre-season games messing with my shows!

Lane out first round of Otev veto. Hayden out. Britney out. Enzo wins veto! Fearing the others night turn on Britney, Lane put up Hayden in Enzo's place.

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Into Wednesday Dawn - September 1

Finally, something other than pool -- moon sand!

Finally, dishes are getting washed!
They must have run out of clean dishes, I say.

Here's the latest news from inside that Big Brother House of Arrested Development:

• I last told you of Ragan's attempt, with pretty valid points, to keep himself in the house.
• Instead of actually wanting to win the half-million, Lane told Hayden and Enzo all about the plan and it became a running joke.
• Of course, we won't really know anything until Thursday night if indeed there is a tie.
• They are playing on Hayden's insecurities (although his insecurities are nowhere near as intense as Ragan's insecurities), but I do think that Hayden thinks they're joking and he'll be staying.
• Britney (why must it be the girl?) decided it was time to wash the dishes since there's a virtual mountain of them.
• She complained about how long it takes to wash dishes.
• I don't know. If you do them after each meal, it really doesn't take long even when you do them by hand.
• Like anything else, if you let it pile up, it's going to be a much larger task.
• Silly hamsters.
• Hayden volunteered to dry.
• Britney made up some of her HOH Hamburger Helper for dinner -- mixing the Cheesy Macaroni with the Stroganoff.
• If I have Hamburger Helper, I personally go for the Beef Pasta one.
• But that's just me.
• Another evening of boredom and trashing people.
• Ragan just can't get off the Rachel trashing. Heck, she's been out of the house for weeks now!
• I liked when Britney and Ragan were mocking Kathy, Enzo spoke up and said how nice Kathy was and that he liked her.
• The real excitement came when Enzo went in the storage room and came out with Moon Sand.
• Like little kids, they all gathered around and played.
• Enzo said he wanted to claim a steak or stake a claim or whatever it is.
• I know it's stake a claim.
• But Enzo is easily confused with words. It's part of his charm.
• They're all asleep as I post this.
• And, the dishes are clean.
• Wow.
  

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Tuesday Daytime - August 31

Ragan goes over his speech to Lane with Britney.

Apparently Ragan hasn't lost all his fight within himself to stay in the game. Here are today's happenings from inside that Big Brother House of Circling Helicopters:

• After moping, fussing and curling up in a fetal ball, the fighting Ragan has once again emerged.
• No, not like the cat fight with Rachel.
• Ragan was up first this morning and went over his proposed speech to Lane while alone in the hammock.
• He has good points.
• The assumption is that Hayden will vote Ragan out while Britney will vote out Hayden. (Yes, it's a big assumption.)
• Lane would be the tiebreaker.
• These are Ragan's thoughts, but I can't disagree with him -- if Lane is in the final two with either Enzo or Hayden, he loses. No matter what, he can't beat either of the two.
• But, if he's in the final two with either Britney or Ragan, he should definitely carry the jury votes for the big win.
• If the question is posed about never making a power move, this would be it for Lane.
• Ragan practiced and repracticed his speech, then told Britney.
• Britney thinks the best she can do is second place despite the fact "the boys" are saying she'd win at the end.
• No, one of them would win against her with the jury votes.
• Britney against anyone but Ragan would lose the big money.
• Ragan can only get second prize tops. He's just made too many enemies.
• Everyone thinks Enzo is the one that must leave before the final two. He has no blood on his hands, has never been responsible for an eviction and has been friends with every single person in the house.
• Finally Ragan went over his points with Lane.
• Lane nodded a lot.
  
• Although I've grown kind of fond of the Jersey boy, I agree with Ragan. Lane won't win against either Hayden or Enzo.
• It seems like he's seriously considering it.
• He told Britney he wants to take her to the final two.
• Of course, Lane and Hayden have a final two pact.
• If Hayden gets voted out this week, the three working against Enzo (who's bad in comps) should easily knock him out of the game.
• Lane told Britney that Hayden won the trip and the money in that PoV game.
• She told him she wouldn't say anything.
• She already had a clue because Hayden is the only one who asked if the jury would know who took the prizes.
• In other house news, for some reason there are a lot of helicopters in the area.
• Also, someone on the CBS lot yelled Ragan's name. The feeds cut away when that happened.
  
• In my own house news, I really need to eat dinner.
• Later!

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Into Tuesday Morning - August 31

Alone in a cruel world

Regan knows he's toast this week. And the house is boring, once again. Here are the late night and overnight events (or lack thereof) from inside that Big Brother House of Delusional Dingbats:

• Ragan thinks the diary room wants to make him squirm in his sessions.
• Apparently they told him that all he's been doing is staying in bed.
• He has been and has isolated himself an awful lot this week.
• But he thinks they're ignoring how hard he's played.
• Something they (the DR) told him has him on a rant.
• But every time he talks about it, they block the feeds.
• Enzo thinks Ragan will turn into another Chima with his fusses about production.
• Britney tried to talk Ragan into going to Lane and explaining, from a gameplay point, it would make more sense to vote out Hayden this week.
• Yeah, like that would happen.
• Enzo said the diary room has been "twisting his arm" about voting for Ragan. To stay? Hmmm.
• I think they're trying to gather video clips so they can make it look like Ragan has a chance on the show.
• When we know he doesn't.
• The garbage can in the kitchen is overflowing.
• Britney tried to plead Ragan's evict Hayden case to Lane.
• It's not going to work.
• Britney said she studied Spanish so that she could always get a job -- being bilingual is a big advantage in the job market.
• She's right.
• Lane thinks Britney makes his family seem dumb.
• Lane thinks redheads are smart people.
• He's so right. He's talking real redheads, not Rachel-heads.
• (I'm a redhead.)
• Lane used to sit next to smart people in school (redheads and guys with tennis shoes and cowboy hats). I'm not sure if he intended to cheat or whether he thought brains are contagious.
• They talked about getting together after the season ends.
• Ragan stayed alone in his room for the most part.
  

Big Brother 12 - Live Feeds Monday Daytime - August 30

Call me a mean girl.
But she should know there's a camera behind the mirror!

Ragan improvises.

Here's the skinny from inside that Big Brother House of Punish Them Some More, Please:

• Kudos to whomever thought of the punishments. Not so much the first one with the silverware and glasses.
• But both the puppet and dancing rocked!
• The best dancing for them was the "rock" track.
• The best to watch for me was the classical music. Enzo actually swayed around to the music, Ragan tried ballet, Britney reminded me of Mary Tyler Moore dancing to the Nutcracker Suite her first Christmas at the station. But Hayden and Lane ... they jumped around, wiggled their hands and just couldn't cope!
• Heck, Future Funk did the waltz better than Hayden and Lane!
• Britney, a hotel sales manager, advised the others to never pay full price for a hotel room.
• I'll remember that.
• Enzo is making a spaceship with macaroni, foil and other odd bits and pieces.
• Mind you, it's model size. He's not about to do a Chicken George and try to blast off.
• The feeds were blocked for the Power of Veto ceremony.
• When they came back, Enzo had taken himself off the block and Lane put Hayden up.
• Hayden volunteered as it's all but a done deal that Ragan is going this week.
• Lane had been worried that Enzo, with his push to evict Britney as an ongoing thing for weeks, might try to vote her out instead of Ragan.
• Lane and Hayden have also been talking about a final three sans Enzo.
• They think they're the most evenly matched final two, but either could win against Britney with the jury vote.
• They're not so sure of their chances with Enzo.
• They still believe in the lie from the saboteur about lifelong friends and think it's Andrew and Brendon.
• Silly boys.
• Lane and Hayden actually think they'll have show business type opportunities when they leave the show.
• Silly boys.
• At least Britney is just still hoping that she'll have a job. She doesn't think people will recognize her.
• I think it's time for Enzo to keep his game stepped up. If not, his boys will off the Meow Meow.
  

Look how filthy the kitchen is! They lay around whining that they're bored, yet junk is all over every counter, dishes aren't done, etc. I guess they don't believe in putting things back in the refrigerator after they pour a glass (bowl) and such. What pigs! Kathy, Brendon and Andrew were the only ones who cleaned on a regular basis. It's no wonder that have an ant and roach problem. Plus, this is being televised! Yikes! I would be so embarrassed!
