Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Tuesday Evening 7/19


Digging for gold?

I tell ya, Allison Grodner ... you seriously need to do something to shake up this snoozefest of a season! I called the prank yesterday an epic fail, but this season could very well doom future seasons. The returning duos? Fail. The casting? Fail. The network scheduling and downtime in the house? Fail. Brendon and Rachel? SUPER fail.

Anyway, here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Woeful Wombats:
  • Oh, late at night, they had a pillowfight! Wowsers.
  • They talked about all answering Julie Chen with weird voices during the live show.
  • They told (bad) scary stories.
  • Then a monster ATE all the hamsters!
  • Um. No. I just made that up.
  • Apparently Jeff wants to move to Los Angeles. Jordan is considering it, but thinks she'll be lonely because Jeff has plans to do work travel stuff.
  • Gee, she could hang out with Rachel!
  • Cassi is sure she's leaving this week and said she'd eat slop and take cold showers the rest of the season if only she could stay.
  • It doesn't work that way, girl.
  • Shelly, as usual, was up early doing laundry, cleaning and smoking.
  • Not necessarily all at the same time, mind you.
  • This is why they need to be off my computer, off my TV and out of my life -- Brendon and Rachel had yet another broken record argument about "Bookie" (Bukey, kind of like Pukey?) and her showing him too much affection in front of others.
  • I'm so sick of their twisted mentality needy people fights.
  • Once again, just a lot of small talk mixed in with "what if" game talk.
  • Fix this mess, Grodner!

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Monday Evening 7/18


What?
Mike Boogie's back in the house?
Oh. Wait.
It's just Shelly.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Pitiful Pranksters:
  • After an afternoon of tears, the mood in the house changed.
  • Rats. I wanted some brouhahas!
  • Dominic thinks the Regulators might very well be the worst alliance in BB history.
  • I think he might very well be right.
  • Lawon and Cassi blame the failure on Keith.
  • After the cryfest of the others was well over, Shelly had her own pity party.
  • She's worried that she might go home.
  • Daniele assured her she's safe.
  • Wah. Wah.
  • Sheesh, folks ... if you're going to cry I want a smackdown or something lively!
  • Rachel told Brendon she went crying to Jordan because she wanted Jordan to feel sorry for her more than she did for Cassi.
  • Whacko.
  • I feel sorry for Jordan!
  • Then the prank planning started.
  • When Adam fell asleep outside (against the rules), they all joined together to put red tape across his photo and make an arrow out of the keys.
  • Then they decided to decorate the fortune teller with the keys and the veto necklace instead.
  • They all ran up to the HoH room to watch him on the spy cam.
  • Adam slept some more.
  • Brendon ran down, banged on the glass door, then hightailed it back up.
  • Adam remained sleeping.
  • After probably an hour of anticipation in the HoH room, Adam finally walked into the house.
  • He saw the tape, laughed and removed it.
  • Then he set about making jerky burgers.
  • Adam laughed off the whole thing.
  • Epic prank fail.
  • BB gave them alcohol, probably hoping to liven them up more for Showtime.
  • Cassi cried some more.
  • Lots of small talk and delusions of what they'd do if they were HoH.
  • Laters.

A whole lotta jellybeans!


The suspense builds.


Epic prank fail.
He notices, laughs and removes the tape.


Rachel: "How come you put MY key first?"

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!

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.
