Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Bulletin - PoV Meeting

The PoV meeting, blocked to the feeds, went down. No surprises here -- Dominic saved himself (and thus Adam, too), a new duo went on the block.

Shelly and Cassi are on the block.

It should be bye-bye Cassi this week, I predict.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Through Monday Morning 7/18

Where am I?
What am I doing in this handbasket?

My sincere apologies for being so long between live feeds reports. Not that it's an excuse (but it is!), for those who don't know -- I'm recovering from a major surgery and I'm not quite 100% yet in the concentration department. But I'm here now and here's what's been happening in that Big Brother House of Catty Crazies:

• Jordan said she's actually like to do something dramatic (nominate Brendon and Rachel is the meaning of dramatic).
• Jeff thinks it's too early for that move but would stand behind whatever she wants to do.
• As much as I want Rachel to go and as sick I am of watching the neverending Brenchal drama codependently play out, I think Jeff is right. It's too early and they need them not only for a voting block, but to protect themselves because as long as Brendon and Rachel are in the game, they're more of a target.
• Dominic has continued to worm his way into the Veterans Circle, casting a lot of the mistrust onto his duo buddy Adam (who's less of a threat remaining in the game than Dominic, but hey ...)
• Cassi is sure that she'll be going home since Dominic is sure to save himself (and thus Adam) with the PoV.
• She's keeping a push on for a backdoor of Brendon and Rachel.
• Sigh. It's unlikely.
• Brendon told Damiele how frustrated he is with Rachel lately -- she's gloating about wins, making jabs at others and generally playing a poor social game.
• Stupid Brendon. What made him thing her behavior would be any different this season from last?
  
• Cassi hopes that if she goes home, a Pandora's box or America's Vote might get her back in the house.
• Don't hold your breath, girl.
• I like you better than I like Rachel but you haven't endeared me yet!
• Jordan doesn't particularly trust Porsche and thinks she (Porsche) has become way too close to Rachel.
• Kalia understands that Jordan can't backdoor Rachel and Brendon this early in the game and says that she's in the alliance with them all too and knows they need the numbers.
• Dominic told Daniele he definitely has a deal with Jeff and Jordan.
• For now, that'll work. Brendon and Rachel are better targets.
• Then it happened ...
• CAT FIGHT!
• Rachel told Cassi that after she made a deal she (Cassi) went around saying that Brendon and Rachel needed to be nominated and no one had the "balls" to do it."
• Cassi didn't deny it and said that she's just being honest and is probably the most honest person in the house.
• Rachel told Cassi that she's the worst game player ever in the house!
• Cassi came back with how Rachel can't ever get along with girls in the house!
• MEOW. HISS. GROWL. SPIT!
• They eventually split up before the hairpulling stage.
• Rats.
• Then Jordan did something which belies every moment of ditziness she's ever displayed. She went for the peacemaker role.
• First she talked to Rachel, who teared up but didn't get upset with Jordan for being honest with her.
• Albeit a bit sugarcoated, Jordan went over Rachel's poor social game and tried to convince her to not give those little jabs, not gloat over wins, not feel she needs to win everything, not rub the Brendon and her coupling so much ...
• Actually Brendon has been trying to give Rachel the same advice, but he's so condescending when he does it that it makes her more upset.
• Coming from Jordan, it was more like a concerned friend trying to help her.
• But Rachel cried anyway and talked about the mean girls last season and how Cassi reminds her of them, how people hate her, etc.
  
• Then Jordan talked to Cassi. Cassi was less receptive than Rachel about the talk.
• But neither took offense to Jordan because she did her part so diplomatically.
• Yay, Jordan!
  
• Poor Jordan that she was in the middle of things, though.
• Rachel cried, then cried some more.
• Jordan tried to comfort her.
• Daniele rolled her eyes.
• Heh, gotta like that Daniele, too!
• Jeff still thinks Cassi has to go this week.
• Jordan doesn't want to put Kalia and Lawon up because she definitely trusts Kalia and Lawon can be worked with.
• Jordan said, down the line, Daniele would scare her in the Final Four.
• Yep, she should scare anyone - she plays a good social game and is good at comps, too!
• Both Jeff and Jordan said they'd love it if Evel Dick was in there to stir up stuff now.
• So would I!
• Cassi admitted to Dominic that she models full time and has done many major magazines.
• No, I'm not talking Playboy and Hustler! Minds out of that gutter please before you get thrown under the bus!
• Cassi said that, stleast if she goes this week, she leaves with her integrity intact.
• Yes, though I'm not on the Save Cassi Bandwagon, she hasn't done anything wrong in the house.
• I also give her kudos for the friction with Rachel. At least it made the feeds worthwhile last night!
• Mind you, Cassi isn't even on the block yet. The Veto meeting is later today, but it's just about a done deal now.
  

I want that refrigerator!

Jordan, Girl Peacemaker

And Rachel cried

And Rachel cried some more

Cassi will not kowtow to Rachel!

Sad News

We recently found out that longtime blog community member Joyce Nicodemus, also known as JoyN, passed away on April 29, 2011. JoyN has been a part of the community here since the early AOL days. While we knew that she had health struggles, I think we all just figured she was taking some time off before the start of the Big Brother season.

We will all miss her contributions here in the comments on the blog -- she really loved her television shows and was never timid in her opinions! Friendly to all, welcoming to new folks aboard ... that was JoyN.

My deepest sympathies and condolences to her family and friends.

My morning feeds report will be a bit late today, please check back.

Big Brother 13 - July 17 Nominations Show Blog Party

The show will be starting in a few minutes here on the East Coast. As it airs, I'll update this entry with major happenings. However, the real fun is in the comments area. Come one, come all!

Upset newbies, no one admitting to voting for Porsche to stay.

Food comp is on! Two people in each ant outfit. Huge picnic spread. First duo who collects four food particles wins and chooses the Have Nots for the week. Brendon and Rachel won. Kalia was hurt and a medic came out. Brendon and Rachel chose Dominic/Adam and Cassi/Shelly for slop. America chose jellybeans and jerky.

On the CBS website there's going to be an America's vote which will "impact the next HoH." No, I don't have a clue at the moment.

Nominations -- Jordan wants to go with what's best for her and Jeff. The key order -- Rachel and Brendon, Shelly and Cassi, Kalia and Lawon. So it's Adam and Dominic on the block because she "doesn't know where their heads are at." She likes them, though.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Sunday Afternoon 7/17

Go away Rachel. Take your devil horn shirt with you.

It's Sunday afternoon in the BB13 house. The hamsters are sunning. Do you know what it's like to watch people sunning? Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Tanning Tots:

• Yes, I said "tots." I didn't say a similar word, but it just may fit.
• I'm thinking more along the lines of maturity level.
• Jordan said she and Jeff fight over stupid things.
• I say nowhere near as bad as the neverending codependent Rachel/Brendon fights.
• The Diary Room told them they have to stop calling Dominic "PT." It stands for "pre-teen."
• Rachel told Dominic that if she and Brendon had won PoV they would have saved him.
• Yeah, right. I don't think Dominic is that stupid as to believe her.
• Jordan told Jeff that she thinks Rachel has been treating both her and Daniele differently since the food comp debacle.
• Cassi got on a crying binge again -- this time because she thinks she's going home.
• She's probably right.
• Although the veto hasn't been used yet, it will be non-news when Shelly and Cassi go on the block.
• Shelly should be quite safe.
• Cassi said that Rachel is catty and a dumbass.
• Well, yeah. Alas, it's not Rachel on the block, though!
• Jordan is still surprised that Rachel told her that she and Brendon had sex in the HoH room. That's not how Jordan was raised and the fact that Brendon and Rachel are engaged don't make it right (according to Jordan).
• Jordan and Kalia had a bubblebath (in bathing suits) in the HoH bathroom.
• Because Jordan had shaved her legs in there, Kalia sat up on the ledge.
• Oh geez, just pull up a chair and watch Jordan in the tub, I say!
• Today so far has been super boring.
• Brendon said he worked at Target for a few months. He hated it.
• Cassi is upset because she came into the game to go far and isn't in it for the fame.
• Like people who don't watch BB would have a clue about past hamsters.
• I even had someone question why I like something which sounds xxx-rated on my Facebook page. That was when I "liked" Evel Dick.
• Outsiders to the show just don't understand these things!
• Cassi doesn't understand why Jordan doesn't put Brendon and Rachel on the block.
• I'd love to see them on the block myself, but I understand not putting them up right now.
• Jeff and Jordan need Brendon and Rachel for numbers.
• That's it for now!
  

Kalia's knees from the food comp.

Bubble bath time, so to speak.
