Big Brother 13: Live Feeds into Friday 7/08

Flakes and Rachel, perfect together

Okay, so the BB13 live feeds kicked in at 1 AM my time. It's always great to jump in when the hamsters have already been in the house for six days and, not only that, but they're on indoor lockdown. And ... not only that, but they're gathering in a big group all talking at once! Then comes the mystery. Read along to find out what's happened inside that Big Brother House of the Missing Dick ...

• Ahh, ahh -- confusion!
• What? Adam found Dick's name on a piece of paper under a pillow on one of the nomination chairs?
• Wait! Dick's missing! No one knows where he is!
• Daniele's there.
• Keith and Porsche's keys are missing, so they must be on the block.
• The indoor lockdown is expected to last into the day Friday.
• Ohh ... Jeff PUT that Dick note on the chair as a prank.
• But Dick's still missing.
• Brendon is mixing in well and seems to get along with people.
• Then there's Rachel. Sure, on the surface she's getting along. But no one's tried to come between her and her man yet!
• Rachel, in some weird control gesture, wants everyone to play games she dictates.
• Adam, in his love for the strips, got a bacon discussion going.
• There is indeed a Have Not room this season not seen in the promos.
• It's like a padded cell with mats on the floor.
• Kalia is a Have Not.
  
• After playing charades and other homemade games, some turned to the chess board.
• I hate the chess board. I hate the pool table in the yard. They make for boring feeds.
• Not only is Dick missing, but the hamsters haven't been able to go into the Diary Room in all the time he's been gone.
• Porsche seems to have rubbed folks the wrong way. Out of her and Keith, she would be the target for eviction.
• Daniele, despite estrangement, is getting antsy and worried about Dick.
• Heh. Jackie said "worried about Dick." Heh.
• Brendon said he'd expose all of BB's secrets unless they found out about Dick.
• They theorize that it must not have been a health issue, nor could Dick have walked out because BB would tell them about that.
• Although Brendon and Jeff think Adam is a hoot, Daniele not so much. She's angry because Adam keeps telling her all about the game.
• Shut your mouth a bit, Jersey Boy!
• Cassi will be the next target if Porsche gets off the block.
• At 4 AM ET, Daniele was finally called to the Diary Room. So, the Case of the Missing Dick should be coming to a conclusion.
• Then fish (the white koi are cool).
• Then BB trivia, where we still are as this gets posted.
• It must be the PoV comp and, most likely, an explanation of Dick.
• Yeah, I had too much juvenile fun with that, didn't I?

UPDATE: At approximately 7:15 ET, the feeds returned. Dick is really gone. They don't know why. Daniele has the Golden Key, PoV is yet to be played. Rachel is fussing that she and Brendon should go if they're just going to be picked off with one less veteran playing for HoH. After all, says Rachel, "You could be working on your doctorate because that's more important." Brendon thinks they should try to win as many prizes as they can get.

At least her chest isn't hanging out all over.

Aw, I like Jeff and Jordan together.

Can they ALL talk at once? I love chaos!

Big Brother 13 Be Right Back

New look to Superpass this season. Right now the theme music is playing and all four feeds are on the white koi.

Big Brother 13 Season Premiere Blog Party!

Thanks to some Blogger glitch, this couldn't be updated, nor could comments be made during most of the show. The first live feeds post can be expected in the wee hours of morning and this seems to be working now.


This is what we've been waiting for! In five minutes, we're up and running for the season.

As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll be updating major events (WHO are the duos, HoH, etc.) right here in this entry live as I watch.

But the real FUN can be found in the comments! Jump on in and let us all know what you think!

New twist - each hamster has to pick a partner to pair up with for the season.

New twist - each hamster has to pick a partner to pair up with for the season. Calia is already showing too much boob and Dominic is a 25-year-old virgin. It will be three returning duos.

Partners --

2 HoH each week, one duo nominated each week, the nominees must go against each other to survive.

Keith chose Porsche

Dominic and Adam

Shelly and Cassi

Kalia and Lawon

Returning duos:

Brenchal, Jeff and Jordan, Evel Dick and Daniele

HoH is endurance with pairs on bananas. Shelly down, supposedly a plan because they didn't want HoH first week. Jordan out. Keith out. Lawon down. Adam down. Jeff and Dominic down. Brendan down. Calia down. Cassi out. Rachel tells D&D they can fall and they'll be safe. They took the deal, Dick down. Daniele is mistrusting. She's down.

Rachel is HoH. Sigh.

One last twist - Pair nominated, one HG evicted, but a huge advantage for the one who survives, Golden Key to BB guaranteed a spot in the final ten.

Tonight, Tonight ... Big Brother 13!

For those who missed The Talk today, it's well worth a watch. I can't embed it here, but you can find it right here on the CBS website. The majority of the episode was taken up by Julie Chen and her co-hosts in their own little Big Brother day in the house. It's a hoot!

Okay, here's the blog plan:
9:00 PM ET I'll be posting a blog party post for the premiere. While I won't be live-blogging each breath they take, I will post important information in the post itself live as it happens. Oh, yeah ... things like ... WHO ARE THE RETURNING DUOS? Most of the fun will be in the comments area and everybody's welcome to join in with your thoughts. This will be East Coast time, so there will be spoilers for the West Coast folks.

The live feeds won't be going live until after the premiere episode airs on the West Coast. So we're talking 1 AM ET. As I gather information, you can expect screen caps and a report by the wee hours of the morning. Once again, these are spoilers. Events seen on the live feeds often take place days later on the show. But we get a first hand look at how the hamsters really are, not how they're edited!

For real-time Facebook and Twitter alerts when I post live feeds updates on the blog, it's here on Facebook or @JackiesTVBlog on Twitter. Like me, follow me ... just don't creep me out!

So, please stop back for the party tonight -- snacks and beverages should abound, along with a great bunch of blog folks!

Big Brother 13 News Round-Up Tuesday Style

There's still no word on the returning duos. The latest on the rumor mill is that since Daniele's "Skype wasn't working" to participate in today's show on Superpass, she must be in the house. Folks are dismissing any tweets and such, claiming they could be staged by production. I guess we really won't know until Thursday night. Press photos of the HG entering the house only show the eight new hamsters.

The press day in the house video is up:



My plan this season is still the thrice daily live feed reports, episode blog parties and more! For "real time" news when there's a new blog post, I encourage folks to "Like" my Facebook page for BB and the blog or follow me on Twitter (@jackiestvblog). Once we start up, I'll be posting links on both places to the blog immediately after getting an entry up.

The esteemed Margo has once again offered to do the blog pool. If you want in, please speak up! Entry to the pool closes Wednesday of next week as we won't know the returning duos until the premiere. While we don't offer prizes, bragging rights last a good nine months if your randomly selected hamster goes home with the half-million! Here's the list so far:

Paris Hilton
Laurie
Margo
Jackie
Zoetawny
Becky
Delee
Donna in FL
Jennasmom
Meb
PDX Granny
Nana in NW
Rbennie
Sydney
Auntie Leigh
Terry in PA

Um ... Paris Hilton? Really?

Taking Julie Chen up on her challenge, the women of The Talk entered the house. The full segment will air on Thursday's The Talk.

Hamsters ready?
