Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Friday Afternoon 7/29

Elf Adam

Well, the big endurance comp is long over with, although the aches and pains remain. Kalia did surprisingly well. However, being shorter with some more padding might have helped her some. If the situation warranted, I daresay that Daniele could STILL be up there! Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Surly Elves:

• As one could have predicted, all of a sudden Lawon and Kalia are besties with Daniele.
• Rachel tried to deal with her much to the dismay of Brendon.
• Daniele told Kalia that she was probably putting Brendon and Rachel on the block.
• As the duos are over, only one can be saved if the veto is used and the other is surely to get evicted no matter whether it's Rachel or Brendon.
• Jeff seems a lesser target and Jordan not targeted at all.
• Of course this was late last night.
• Right now, as I'm typing this up, the feeds just returned from a long blockage which I assume was the nominations.
• I haven't a clue.
• So I'll keep rambling until I hear.
• Then I will post.
• Hmmm ...
• To recap the prizes (?) from last night's snowballs: Brendon, Jordan and Lawon are Have Nots. Adam is an elf for the week. Jeff won the $10,000.
• Porsche, of all people, gave Rachel her latest lecture on how to behave like a normal human being ... er, less abrasively.
• Rachel was right that she is probably less intimidating than Brendon would be had he decided to approach Daniele.
• However, I don't think Daniele is too intimidated by much.
• At least with her in the HoH room, her constant whispering should let up a bit.
• I hate that she whispers so much.
• BB should ban WHISPERING.
• I'm still waiting for a clue here.
• Everyone but Daniele, Jordan and Rachel are on cameras.
• I wonder if Rachel is inside crying while Jordan comforts her?
• Brendon is giving no clues.
• Oh, c'mon hamsters! Spill the beans!
• Wait ... there's Jordan and Rachel tanning, not talking. Only Daniele is missing.
• She's probably napping.
• Adam is loving his elf suit.
• Feeds are blocked again.
• I refuse to post this until I know the nominations!
• As I'm STILL waiting, here's a Dominic interview from Reality Nation.
• Feeds back ... they got the sardines and seaweed.
• Lawon loves sardines. Let's get back to him on that at the end of the week.
• Still no nominations clues. All of the hamsters are together.
• We need people to split off and talk!
• Hmm ... sounds like either Brendon/Rachel or Brendon/Jeff are on the block ... IF they're not still talking about what might come about.
• It's possible as I watch now that noms might not be done yet.
• Jordan is washing her hair with the back yard hose.
• Shelly told Jordan her goal is to keep Jeff and Jordan together.
• I think her goal should be her own game, but that's just me.
• Daniele and Kalia talked about how they don't trust Shelly.
• Shelly, not trusting Kalia with Daniele, went to the HoH room.
• Shelly hopes "the plan" hasn't changed.
• So it looks like nominations are yet to come.
• If I get confirmation, I'll be posting in a few minutes and just update the nominations later.
• Nope, nominations aren't in yet. Daniele wants to make a big move which will make the entire house a better place -- Brendon and Rachel.
• Shelly is pushing for a mother child reunion ... I mean a Daniele/Jeff make-up.
• Ohh ... Shelly mentioned that Adam is diabetic and the feeds got blocked.
• I guess we're not supposed to know that.
• Daniele, Jordan and Jeff just made a deal -- they're safe this week and Daniele is safe from them next week.
  
• More later!
  

Oh, boy! Let's see Daniele's HoH room!

So excited about Daniele's HoH room!

Big Brother 13 Live Endurance HoH Updates

11:28 PM ET -- Kalia is down. DANIELE IS THE NEW HOH
The only "deal" is that Kalia is safe. Rachel lit into Kalia and told her she made her cry earlier and was mean to her. @@ Brendon/Rachel drama starting, I'm ready for a break!

Kalia -- STOP SINGING. They block the feeds each time! It's down to Kalia and Daniele and I'm waiting for deals to start.



11:18 PM ET - Shelly down. It's between Kalia and Daniele.

Dear Jeff

11:07 PM ET - Porsche down. It's down to Kalia, Daniele, and Shelly.



10:52 PM - While we're in a feeds block, a quick recap -- Adam, Lawon, Brendon, Jeff and Jordan down. Lawon and Brendon are Have Nots, Adam wears an elf suit, Jeff got the ten grand.


10:48 PM ET -- Jordan down.


10:42 PM ET -- Jeff goes down, just the girls left.
Snowballs: Brendon is a Have Not, Adam wears an elf suit.


10:34 PM ET - Jeff is a sole man. Girls all looking good except Kalia -- Jeff in better shape than she seems to be. Shelly is rockin' the comp and telling Jeff she will protect him. They talked about how Dominic could still be in the game until the snow started up again.


10:31 PM ET - In a feeds block. Grr.

10:25 PM ET - Brendon dropped out. So it's Adam, Lawon and Brendon out so far.



10:20 PM ET - Feeds blocked, Lawon is also down. Spineless jellyfish!

Shelly says she can stay up there all night.

10:14 PM ET -- Feeds return, Adam is the only one down. Haven't mentioned the prize (or not) he got.

As I get this post up, the feeds are still blocked. Once they return, I'll be zapping up updates and screen caps for all y'all. Because it's easier for me, the newest material will be at the top of the post, the older stuff towards the end. Everyone is welcome to join in with comments!

We won't talk about this comp just being a remake of a previous one. Nope, we won't fuss, will we?

It's sad that I know all the answers to the BB trivia they show with the blocked feeds. There should be a 12 Step program.

10:14 PM ET = Feeds return, Adam is down with Rachel.

Big Brother 13 July 28 Live Eviction/HoH Show Blog Party

The live eviction/HoH show is about to start here on the East Coast. As it airs, I'll update this entry with major events. But the real fun is in the comments and I hope you all join in!

Julie announced Double Trouble is done, then recaps began. Ah, good. They plan something on yesterday's brouhaha.

So far, it's all about the Backdoor Jeff plan and exposing Daniele as the "mastermind" of it. Kalia is approaching Brendon, the impetus of the kitchen brouhaha. That bottle cap snapping she did was incredibly annoying on the feeds. I wanted BB to tell her to knock it off. Kitchen brouhaha begins.

Live vote soon, pleas begin. Dominic gave his practiced "like you all but you're spineless jellyfish" speech.

The live vote:
Jeff -- Dominic
Jordan -- Dominic
Kalia -- Dominic
Daniele -- Adam
Commercial break.
Brendon -- Dominic
Shelly -- Dominic
Lawon -- Dominic
Porsche -- Dominic

As I predicted in the last post, only Daniele voted for Adam. Bye, Dominic, you were fun while you lasted.

Game about to change says Julie ... Congrats, top ten, duos over. Huh? That's the big game change? We knew that was coming!

HoH starting - Big Brother slalom -- on a small platform with skis embedded on the side of a mountain. First five opens snowballs, something good or bad, one contains $10,000. Skis wiggle back and forth. They have handholds. The mountain gets steeper.

I'll be creating a separate endurance comp post which will be updated with screen caps and the happenings. If you want to know before Sunday, join us there!

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds pre-Live Show Update 7/28

Dominic practices his speech on Lawon

On the whole, a heck of a lot of nothing goes on before the live show on Thursday. They're in lockdown, they get lockdowned in the HoH room, they clean, they primp.

But there are a few things worth mentioning happening today in that Big Brother House of Fun:

• Forget the newbie uprising plan. It ain't gonna happen.
• Lawon told Porsche that Brendon and Rachel have been good to him.
• He won't be voting to save Dominic.
• Porsche said Dominic has so many more things going for him while Adam's one big dream has been to be on the show.
• She won't be voting to save Dominic.
• In my opinion, that's not a good reason to keep dead weight, but she's playing, not me.
• Daniele told Kalia to vote with the rest of the house.
• She wants to be Dominic's sole vote to stay.
• PT (Pre-Teen) or not, Dominic is handling this much better than most.
• Tonight's vote should be unanimous with the exception of Daniele.
• Stop back later for the live show party post to be followed with a continuously updated endurance comp post.
• That is, as long as it really is an endurance comp!
  

Rachel is the only one not planning athletic clothing

I'd say a bit too tight and skimpy for endurance

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Through Wednesday July 27

Kalia goes all kinds of bonkers!

Sure, it's been boring in the house and I've been laid up from knee surgery, stuck at home for the most part. So, I've been making BB13 like Jimmy Stewart in Rear Window. It's my voyeur trip and distraction. Perhaps I'll witness a murder, you never know. And, the hamsters have been super boring. So, the one day I actually go out ... there's a brouhaha!

I had to catch up using Flashback on my live feeds, then the actual show started and I'm just now getting to catch up. Grrr! This is going to be long. You might want to grab a tasty beverage and settle in.

Here are today's events from inside that Big Brother House of Awkward Allies and a Brouhaha:

• I just love the word "brouhaha" and don't get to use it enough. So I need to take advantage whenever I can.
• In the beginning of the morning, Rachel was for keeping Dominic.
• Brendon not so much.
• She trusts Porsche, him not so much.
  
• So there we have it, the first Brenchel drama of the day.
• Brendon thinks that Rachel has PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) from being in the house last year and it's affecting her game this year.
• @@
• Rachel got her HoH camera and pleaded with people to act like they all like each other.
• Actually, this season does have more friendships across battle lines than many previous seasons.
• Or, at the very least, they act like they do.
• Then Kalia made the move that made the um, excrement hit the fan.
• She went to Brendon, basically lying, telling him she had no part in the backdoor Jeff plan.
• Brendon got nasty. She got nasty. I smiled. Could a brouhaha be coming on?
• Why, yes, yes one's on the way!
• They both went in, telling others their issues.
• Jordan kept pushing for everyone to air out their grievances at a house meeting.
• Yay, house meeting always = a good smackdown brouhaha!
• This one didn't disappoint for a couple of hours.
• A shot rang out. The maid screamed! Er, no. But I felt I had to add that.
• Kalia was screaming how there's no chance for a newbie, she might as well write them a check right now and go.
• Hmm ... pay to leave? All one has to do is DOR!
• Jeff was talkshouting how he can't trust either her or Dominic because neither came to him when there was talk of backdoor.
• Dominic and Kalia both said they were sure it wasn't going to happen, that's why they didn't warn him.
• Brendon and Rachel said they had seriously been considering it after the seeds were planted by ...
• Daniele.
• She comes in screaming.
• No fisticuffs.
• Dominic said everyone had deals with the veterans.
• Lawon said he had no deals with anyone, was playing his own game and would take all of them down.
  
• Hamsters all briefly smiled, then continued the brouhaha.
• Adam was hidden and/or quiet through it all.
• Shelly came out, giving a big talk about playing with integrity and how Dominic can leave proud of how he played the game.
• Rachel twitched a lot.
• In the end, they all awkwardly hugged and broke up into their little groups all over again.
• The more things change, the more they remain the same.
• But ...
• Kalia went sobbing on Jordan's shoulder about she had no idea that there was any serious consideration to backdoor Jeff.
• Thankfully she can't crunch food and cry at the same time!
• Long ago Jordan and Kalia promised to never nominate/vote to evict each other.
• That promise still seems good and was one of the only deals admitted to during the brouhaha.
• Daniele, Dominic and Lawon went to the Have Not room with Daniele still pushing for the big brave move to go up against the veterans by keeping Dominic.
• Shelly came in and they pushed the idea on her.
• After all, if they can swing her and Porsche, Adam could go out the door Thursday and then one of them will win HoH and victory is theirs.
• Or, at least Daniele's.
• Daniele made a stupid move trying to do the backdoor Jeff thing so early, but if she can manipulate the newbies to rise up and fight the power now, it could save her game.
• Well, as long as she can win every comp from this HoH to the end.
• Meanwhile, Kalia was then crying to Jeff apologizing for everything and telling him that he and Jordan were the only ones nice to her since the beginning of the game.
• While Kalia was throwing herself on the mercy of the veterans, it looks like Shelly's defecting to the newbies once again.
• Hmmm ...
• Dominic and Daniele tried to work Porsche.
• Now, the girl's a ghost in the game, but apparently not easily swayed by Daniele's manipulation powers.
• She refuses to go along with them.
• Meanwhile, Shelly told the vets she is NOT voting to keep Dominic and how the downstairs crowd just gathers around Daniele as if she's some sort of queen bee.
• So she is indeed playing Daniele and the newbies. I got worried there for a second. It wouldn't be good for her game to switch sides now.
• Daniele tries to use her superpowers on Kalia to vote to keep Dominic.
• Kalia didn't commit. I'd say her own personal game, despite the blow-up, would probably be better sticking with the veterans at this point.
• It's not like she's going to win anyway. But she might stick around longer.
• Daniele and Lawon think they can convince Shelly to convince Porsche to save Dominic. They're thrilled. They think it can really happen.
• But it can't.
• Shelly's cards will be exposed after tomorrow, but she's in with every power player except Daniele.
• Once again, she's playing a shrewd strategical game. And, the thing is, they don't really realize it.
• They're on a lockdown, so they're all stuck together for the night.
• I'm expecting the first endurance comp of the season tomorrow.
  

Daniele withdraws, then screams!

Jordan tries to be nice to all, but doesn't quite do it.

Dominic has nothing to lose at this point.

Shelly tries to hide.

Peanut gallery plus a Jeff.

Surprisingly, no tears nor tantrum from Rachel Dearest.
