Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Tuesday Dawn 8/02

Rachel's happy ...

... when she's the center of attention

Just wait until she's playing the game without her Poookie! Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Bacherlor/Bachelorette Bashes:

• As I told you yesterday, Brendon decided to be all gallant and saved Rachel with the veto.
• Daniele, who previously discussed it with Jordan and Jeff, put Jordan on the block against Brendon as Jordan was the safest pawn.
• In a way, Daniele is very happy because her main target was Brendon, not Rachel.
• Yet she scrambled before the meeting and afterward too, making sure Jordan had the votes to stay.
• Everyone was a bit surprised because Brendon, despite always saying he would save Rachel, had changed his tune the past day or so -- saying he would take himself off the block.
• Which, of course, would be the wiser thing to do gamewise.
• But, for me, Rachel without Brendon might perk up the feeds some!
• Jordan isn't doing well with the Have Not foods. She's barely eating, consisting mostly on pickles. She doesn't like the sardines and seaweed, the slop goes right through her and she's just not eating much at all.
• But she isn't complaining. The others keep trying to get her to eat.
• Jordan is a bit worried about being on the block even though everyone keeps telling her she's safe.
• She's worried that Brendon is running around making deals.
• Kalia, as usual, has a focus on the money. Previously she mentioned how she wants to make the jury to get the full $8,500 stipend ($750 a week). Now she's saying how bad it must be to go out this week and just miss the full stipend.
• Rachel is leery of her ally, Porsche.
• As she should be.
• Shelly, once again, sucked up to Brenchel telling them how unfair it is that they're being split up and what good people they really are.
• Really?
• Blech. Pardon me if I go be ill for a moment!
• Rachel told Porsche she won't talk to Daniele for the rest of the summer.
• After all, Daniele separated her from her man!
• Rachel said that Daniele is worse than Britney was last year.
• Adam has assured both Jordan and Daniele that Jordan has his vote to stay.
• However, he's wisely not making any promises but acting interested in what Brenchel has to say.
• Brendon thinks that Porsche is trying to manipulate Rachel and shouldn't be trusted.
• Daniele told Kalia that she really wants Rachel out next week.
• Well, duh.
• Then the fun started -- Adam, Porsche and Lawon came up with a relatively tame "stripper" dance for Rachel and Brendon's bachelor/bachelorette party.
• I hate to say it, but Adam dances better than I do.
• Fun was had by all.
• Even me as I watched it.
• Porsche told Daniele she won't nominate or backdoor her next week -- she'd go after Lawon, Kalia or Shelly.
• I don't believe that.
• I don't think Daniele really does either.
• Rachel cried after she went to the DR to tape her goodbye message.
• Nothing to see here, move along.
• Daniele told Porsche how Brenchel came to her trying to get her to put Porsche on the block and how she's expendable to them.
• Meanwhile, the rest of the vet crew is talking about how worthless Porsche is in the game and they don't trust her.
• When Brendon saw Porsche, he told her she shouldn't hang out with Daniele or people will think they're working together.
• He also asked Porsche who she'd put up on the block -- Daniele and maybe Shelly.
• Hmm.
• Jordan talked to Adam about throwing the next HoH to him (so they won't be in the spot to put up Daniele or offend Rachel).
• He's agreeable. He just doesn't want it to be endurance.
• Huh. I wonder why endurance scares him.
• Oh, yeah. It's because he sucks at anything physical.
• Except strip-dancing, that is.
• That's pretty much where things stand now.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Bulletin - PoV Meeting

The PoV meeting, blocked to the feeds, is finally over. Brendon used the PoV to save Rachel. Yes! I'd rather see her self-implode than him, more drama! As expected, Daniele put Jordan up as the pawn against him.

Preparing for the trashiest wedding ever

First, let's all say happy 30th birthday to MTV. It doesn't seem like it's been that long, but I miss the earlier years when I actually wanted my MTV. Okay, let's go on with what's been going on inside that Big Brother House of Bridezilla and Brendon:

• All summer long and right after he won the veto, Brendon's been telling folks that if he and Rachel were on the block together and he won the veto, he'd save Rachel.
• Now it's seeming like that's not quite what might happen.
• If he saves himself, he's basically a stronger player. No, he'd never make it to the end game, but he'd put up a fight.
• If Rachel stays, she'd likely only be able to team up with Porsche and there's a huge possibility she'd self-implode.
• Personally, I'd rather see Rachel stay over Brendon. I think the drama would be better.
• Daniele is in a dilemma.
• She seems to honestly want to keep her deal with Jordan and Jeff, at least for the time being.
• If it's between Rachel and Jordan (the safest pawn), Rachel would have Brendon and Porsche votes for sure.
• Daniele, Jeff and Jordan aren't sure of Shelly's vote, but I think she'd want to keep Jordan.
• If Daniele puts up Porsche with Rachel, the only good thing about that is that it would eliminate one vote to keep Rachel.
• So, Sunday was a day of lazing about and trying to figure out exactly what Brendon will do with the veto -- save himself or Rachel.
• It rained in the morning there, which surprised them.
• It rained overnight here. I wasn't surprised.
• Daniele had long talks with Jeff and Jordan, then Adam.
• They're all on the same page.
• They believe that if Jordan is up against Rachel, she has Jeff, Lawon, Adam and Kalia backing her up.
• Porsche, meanwhile, thinks she's a great game player, a super strong woman in comps and that she's going to be backdoored.
• In the end, despite all the talk and scheming, no one really knows what will happen until after the veto meeting today.
• If they're thinking game, Brendon should save himself.
• If he's thinking chivalry and all, he'll save her.
• I think he might very well end up saving her.
• In other news, when they were talking about Natalie's trash bag pants, they decided that Brendon and Rachel should have the trashiest wedding ever.
• As is fitting, of course.
• Jordan, Shelly, Porsche and even Kalia worked hard to fashion a trash bag and aluminum foil gown for Rachel.
• They even made roses out of trash bags and foil.
• Everything ended up looking really nice.
• But it is trashy for trashy reality "stars."
• One thing is certain ... after Thursday, one of them is gonzo. The wedding bells have between now and then to ring.

Big Brother 13 - July 31 HoH Reveal, Nominations Show Blog Party

The 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! Tonight we get to see who the new HoH is and the nominations! (We'll just pretend we don't already know.)

A little more than nine minutes into it, Adam is off the wall and his snowball is an elf costume. Ten minutes after that, Lawon is off and his snowball is a Have Not for the week. Brendon down just shy of 36 minutes, snowball is another Have Not for the week. Jeff out at 51 minutes -- won the $10,000! Jordan out at 57 minutes, another Have Not. Porsche out at 1 hour 16 minutes. One hour 26 minutes and Shelly is out. At one hour. 37 minutes, Kalia is out.

Daniele is HoH!

She offered Jeff and Jordan a one week deal -- they're safe this week if they agree to not put her up the next (contingent on one of them being HoH).

Show interrupted for the Presidential address on the debt ceiling agreement ... a good thing, but bad timing for BB13 fans on the East Coast! Yay, it ended at 8:46 PM.

Adam has become one with his inner elf.

They got their sardines and seaweed.

Ah, good ... we didn't miss Brenchel going to Daniele! Heh, after just proposing a deal to Jeff and Jordan, she turns down Brenchel's deal offer saying she's not really making deals with anyone. I love it!

Nominations ceremony time. Key order -- Adam, Kalia, Shelly, Lawon, Jordan, Porsche, Jeff ... it's a Brenchel on the block time! She says they drew the first sword, best move for herself.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Sunday Morning 7/31

"Let's hang all over each other every moment,
but don't call me Boookie!"

I don't think folks who only watch the aired show get the true picture of the hamsters, plus they're so far behind! Tonight's aired show finally reveals the new HoH winner and nominations. Heck, that's old news to us. Right? Hey! Haven't you been reading my reports?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Private Pow-wows:

• Leading into the PoV comp, Brendon was insistent that he would take Rachel off the block so she could continue to play the game and (supposedly) he might be able to get back to his studies.
  
• This is the last non-jury eviction.
• Daniele, although she made an incredibly early dumb move, isn't really dumb about the game.
• She knows that chances are good that either Brendon or Rachel would win the veto.
• She knows that she would need to put up an alternate who would NOT go home.
• So she's thinking Jordan.
• Jordan against either Brendon or Rachel should be a safe pawn.
• I hope.
• The hamsters have been on indoor lockdown for the most part ever since Wednesday when BB started setting up for the HoH comp, then taking it down, then putting up the veto comp, then taking it down.
• That's been driving them crazy,
• Me, too.
• When locked inside, we get more groups with non-game talk, more snack crunching and more Shelly running around cleaning like some sort of busy ant running back and forth.
• I kept wanting the BB voice to tell her to knock it off.
• It's very distracting to try to listen to a conversation with her thumping cabinets, banging pans, breaking into the talk to ask if something should be thrown out.
• I never want her to come here!
• Adam is a natural in the elf suit and is enjoying it as no other hamster ever could or would.
• Kalia has totally latched onto Daniele. In a way, it's good as it gives Daniele someone to talk to now that Dominic is gone.
• But, the problem with Kalia, other than incessantly snacking and wearing stupid-looking Daisy Duke denim short-shorts with the front pockets hanging out low ... is that she NEVER STOPS TALKING.
• In a way, I suppose I should have a bond with Kalia as we both blogged for AOL and both are amongst the hoards laid off and canned, but I just can't do it. She drives me crazy.
• I don't think Daniele trusts Kalia like she did Dominic.
• I do think that Daniele indeed wants one of the Brenchel duo out and doesn't want Jeff or Jordan out.
• At least not right now.
• After the PoV, which seemed to be guessing numbers, time measurements, etc., for certain deeds, Jeff siad he forgot Porsche was even in the game and had it that he was only competing against Brendon.
• Jeff lost it to Brendon by only a few seconds (from what they say). He also scraped up the side of his leg.
• I'm sure Adam was out first.
• For a BB superfan, he sure sucks at playing the game. Even his social game is lacking as he's an odd man out.
• But he indeed embraces the elf within.
• Lawon is still off the radar with most. Kalia (who has never championed her duo buddy) has been making comments to Daniele about how he's changed and is creeping her out lately.
• Porsche is still sucking up to Rachel.
• Porsche has it in her head that she will be the replacement nominee.
• Jordan is having a rough time on slop -- it goes right through her. So she decided to mainly subsist on the Muscle Milk protein shakes.
• Oh, great. They might not go through her, but her stomach keeps rumbling enough so that her mic picks up its distress growling!
• Once again, the hamsters discussed the Casey Anthony case. Boy will they be surprised at the verdict when they get out!
• Jordan is worried that she and Jeff "look mean" this season. Jeff said this season is different as they've had more pressure to stay together from the beginning with being returning veterans targets and the golden keys.
• I don't think Jordan could look mean even if she donned a mean witch costume and killed Adam the elf.
• As things stand, it's a definite that Brendon will use the veto.
• While they've also discussed him remaining in the house, I think he's probably going to go with his first thought -- pull Rachel off the block.
• Actually, I'd rather Rachel remain than Brendon. We've already seen Brendon on his own after Rachel left.
• If Rachel remains alone, it might be interesting.
  

I'm ready for that Easter egg impersonation contest!
