Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Thursday Dawn 7/21

No more exciting than chess

You know ... in order for me to report on the live feeds, I really prefer some sort of action! I'm not one who's going to relay all the small talk -- what celebrities they like, etc. Nor will I report on every breath they take or exactly what they're eating at any given moment. I watch for stuff that catches my eye, things I think are interesting. This crew didn't give me a heck of a lot of fodder yesterday.

Here's what happened yesterday and last night in that Big Brother House of Droning Dullards:

• Shelly, who could very well be the dark horse in this race, continues to work her social game. Every single person in the house likes her. No one considers her a threat.
• She cleans and socializes.
• I think they should watch out!
• Rachel told Brendon she doesn't like girls who are manipulative and tell sob stories.
• Oh my ... Rachel herself is a walking manipulative sob story!
• Rachel thinks the HoH comp will be a Majority Rules question comp.
• I agree judging on the questions on the CBS website.
• Those are always a crap shoot. Anyone could win; it's all a guessing game.
• Heck, I didn't even know how to answer some of them!
• Jordan got the HoH camera and they actually had fun with the photos.
• One thing different from previous years is the lack of vitriol between the two camps.
• But no one other than Brendon really likes Rachel.
• Cassi has been pretty much the only one to call her out on it.
• Well, Jeff, too. But his doesn't count as much as he knows they need to work together.
• Cassi told Dominic that Shelly is the most trustful person in the house. She said she won't do anything sneaky or shady because she enjoys her job and wants to go back to it.
• Alas, she also told Dominic about Shelly's "friend to all" strategy. She advised Dominic to get together with Shelly after she (Cassi) goes.
• Jordan told Cassi she's worried about next week. Cassi told her people really have to get Rachel or Brendon out.
• We know that.
  
• I do agree it wasn't time for Jeff and Jordan to sever the Brendon/Rachel ties this week. It would be far better for them if someone else did the deed.
• Cassi packed. Shelly plans to pack in the morning.As I post this
  
• Dominic threw grapes at passerby from the chess board area.
• Rachel actually picked up the grapes for him when he jokingly asked her to do so.
• Wanna bet she wouldn't have done that for a girl?
• When Brendon gave Adam a choice between bacon and cigarettes, Adam chose bacon.
• I didn't realize that bacon was so addictive!
• Speaking of which, now I want bacon.
• As I post this, Shelly is the only one up. Out in the yard smoking ... I wish she'd talk to us like Evel Dick did every morning.
• Now I must go fix some bacon.
  

Yawnsers

Big Brother 13 PoV Show Blog Party 7/20

It's the big Power of Veto show -- at least we'll get to see Rachel's bad behavior in the comp! (Like we haven't seen that before!) As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this entry with major events. The real fun is down in the comments area. Please join us there!

PoV Players -- Jordan/Jeff, Adam/Dominic (Adam is supposed to throw the comp) and the chosen duo - Brendon and Rachel. Daniele is the host.

Candy all over the yard. They're playing as individuals but the winner will have the power to take the duo off the block. They have to chew gumballs across the balance beam then complete a veto portrait. If you fall, out of comp unless you accept two weeks of slop.

Jordan fell wanted slop but Jeff is telling her no. She's out. Rachel is mad and feels she and Brendon need to take back control. Rachel fell and took the slop to continue playing, fell again and is out.

Dominic wins!

Jeff confronted Rachel about her bad behavior and she's crying in the bushes. Heh.

The editing is trying to lead viewers to think that Jordan will backdoor Brendon and Rachel. Not so. Dominic uses the veto, she puts Cassi and Shelly on the block. Hopes to further herself and Jeff in the game.

Fashion Plate Lawon

Another evening and overnight in that Big Brother House of Misfit Toys:

• Porsche is almost invisible in the house -- her game is to hang out with Rachel, but not when Rachel and Brendon are fighting.
• So we don't really see her all that often.
• She told Rachel that Shelly told her she voted for her to stay and that she thinks the other person was Kalia.
• Porsche said that Dominic and Adam said they would have voted for her to stay had they realized the numbers had changed.
• Well, duh.
• Jeff isn't feeling well. Later on he said he didn't work out because he has to keep going ... and going. You get it.
• Rachel said that the season finale will be September 16. How she knows, I don't know. That's a Friday night and unlikely.
• They lined up every condiment that they're allowed trying to think of a creative new way to cook slop.
• Another night of "scary ghost stories" ahead.
• Oh, yeah. I'm excited.
• Brendon and Rachel claim they spend $2000 a month on food, more than they pay in rent.
• That has to be fun when Rachel works at a slightly more than minimum wage job three days a week!
• Dominic said Brendon eats eight to ten eggs for breakfast. That's ridiculous!
• The boy needs to go on slop, I say!
• Brendon put his superhero clothes on once again and made a plea to the feeds for the return of Franklin the toy turtle.
• Tell ya what, Brendon ... we'll send a banner plane telling you where you can find Franklin if you and Rachel hit that panic bar and just leave.
• You can even take Franklin with you.
• The BEST part of the night was when Daniele, Jeff, Jordan, Lawon and Dominic spied on Rachel and Brendon fighting.
  
• They mocked their fights much as we do!
• At one point Lawon went down and danced for the spy cam.
• Brendon claimed he was going over ghost stories he wants to tell.
• Sure.
• The body language and silences told their own story!
• Cassi cried some more because she knows she's leaving.
• Shelly worried some more just in case she's leaving.
• Lawon, Dominic and Cassi stayed up just about all night.
• They're still up as I get this posted.
  

Slop - it's what's for dinner!

Spying on the latest Brendon/Rachel tiff.

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!

Say WHAT?

Hats in the house

Daniele and Porsche, the nonentity.

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?"
