Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Saturday Afternoon 8/06

For me, Jeff will always be the clear choice to stay.

Okay, so we had more mini-brouhahas in the house. The surprising part was some of the action was Jordan-based. Yes, dear sweet never gets riled Jordan. She's ashamed of her behavior and hopes her mother and grandparents aren't embarrassed. Of course, what she did is SO minor compared to the behavior of other hamsters!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Frustrated Froot Loops:

• Last night, before the nominations, Jeff and Jordan confronted Kalia.
• Everyone figured Rachel would be on the block. That was a no-brainer.
• But Kalia told Jeff she wanted him to win the veto. Later he said he first thought she meant to pick him as a houseguest's choice.
• Nope, she wants him to win it by putting him on the block with Rachel.
• Jeff is the remaining alpha male in the house and the most likely to win a comp outside of Rachel.
  
• Jordan automatically thought that the plan would be to put her up as a pawn against Rachel.
• She apparently slammed her key down and yelled at Kalia that she might as well keep her key out, too!
• This, of course, was blocked to us feedsters.
• Jeff has been losing his temper, but Jordan had a really, really bad day yesterday -- going on slop with a fish alternative once again (she hates fish) after barely eating last week, Jeff (and Rachel) on the block, thinking she'll go on the block if either pulls themselves off.
• Jeff and Jordan have taken their vows to take care of Rachel much too seriously.
• I mean, being nice to her is one thing.
• But the girl is definitely poison in the game. They should be backing away from her a bit as if she just might have leprosy and they could catch it if they grow too close.
• The good news is they got a gas grill yesterday. The bad news is that Jeff, the main grill and cooking dude, is on slop.
• Being around all of the crying women is driving Jeff crazy.
• He's point-blank asked Rachel how Brendon puts up with her and told her she's crazy.
• Jordan told Rachel she's like a cyclone or hurricane destroying everything in her path then coming back to normal like nothing ever happened.
• Surprisingly, Rachel is taking all of this well and takes no offense.
• Kalia will NOT put Jordan on the block, not even as a pawn. She won't. She promised Jordan and will stick to it.
• Jordan and Jeff are still leery that Jordan will go up.
• Kalia, Rachel, Jeff, Jordan, Adam and Shelly played for veto.
• Kalia decided that whenever Rachel was down, she could give up. The main thing she told Adam was that she did NOT want Rachel to win.
  
• Jeff, Jordan and Rachel have really twisted around what Julie Chen said to them about this week's evicted hamster MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE to come back into the house.
• They're acting like it's a done deal -- whomever is evicted WILL come back and all three will go after Kalia.
• Jeff, of course, won the veto (as I announced earlier).
• Rachel, after the requisite ton o' tears, actually went and had a long civil talk with Kalia.
• She falsely thinks that she has a chance to stay in the house if Kalia puts the right person against her (Porsche), but names no names.
• She's worried that if Adam goes up against her, she will be voted out.
• Kalia has been thinking Adam as the pawn but has no idea how Rachel heard about it.
• Kalia also thinks, going over the numbers, that anyone she puts up against Rachel would mean a Rachel exit.
• All she needs is three votes and she's the tie-breaker.
• Once again, she said she will never put Jordan on the block.
• She's thinking Shelly or Adam, but wants Rachel out even though she admits she's seen a more human side of Rachel.
• We won't know until Monday who's going up as Jeff's replacement.
• One thing we can be sure of ... Jeff will NOT use his PoV to save Rachel!
  

Shelly is still trying to play both sides

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds - Veto Winner 8/06

A full report will be posted a bit later, but here's the skinny:

Jeff won the power of veto!

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Through Friday 8/06 - Nominations

Gee thanks, BB. Give Kalia crunchy snacks!

I was ready for a total Rachel meltdown and didn't get it. Sure, there were sniffles and snuffles here and there, but no major freak-out. Good for her! How is Kalia handling being the first newbie Queen Bee?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House Fighting Factions:

• Porsche seems to be one confused gal. After all, she's been Rachel's buddy, Jeff and Jordan's buddy and Daniele's buddy. I guess this week she'll be Kalia's buddy.
• That's a bit different from Adam who gets along with everyone and just tends to vote as to not rock the boat.
  
• Lawon, of course, has become Kalia's pal despite all of the pushing she did early on to get him on the block.
• Maybe she just wanted the golden key float.
• Alas, true to their word, Jeff and Jordan have taken Rachel under their wing.
  
• They keep pep-talking her and massaging her self-esteem.
• Kalia thinks Jeff and Jordan are mad that she won HoH.
• Well, probably. It may have to do with the Daniele connection rather than Kalia herself. They had the deal with Daniele to remain safe this week, no such deal with Kalia.
• Of course, Kalia and Jordan still have that deal to never put each other up.
• But that doesn't include Jeff.
• They're all thinking whoever gets voted out this week will come back.
• Except Adam, that is. He thinks it will be more like a Redemption Island twist.
• He's right.
• Daniele told Kalia that her targets are Rachel, Jeff and Jordan in that order.
• Shelly keeps rotating around, siding with whatever side is within earshot and eavesdropping on them all.
• Jordan and Rachel think that Porsche should go home because she's a "total floater."
• When are these hamsters going to get it through their heads that floaters often have their own game. Adam comes to mind..
• But, yeah ... Porsche is a floater.
• And Adam's game is sorely lacking any skill other than being a good bacon buffoon.
• Rachel tried to suck up to Kalia telling her she's proud of her win -- first newbie HoH. She told her she doesn't really expect anything, but if she doesn't get nominated this week and wins HoH next, she won't nominate her (Kalia).
• She actually handled it well. Brendon is probably thinking, "You're not supposed to talk game without ME!"
• Daniele, unlike Kalia, can't bear to converse civilly with Rachel. She doesn't want to talk to her at all.
• Kalia still feels the sting from NO ONE cheering her on in the endurance comp.
• Then the food comp came, sinking Jeff, Jordan and Rachel down a bit deeper.
• Jeff, Jordan, Rachel and Shelly are Have Nots.
• I got my wish, though -- they have catfish and coconuts.
• Unfortunately, Jordan hates fish. She barely ate last week, now has another week of it ahead.
• Jordan is pouting and in tears on and off.
• But she's better at it than Rachel -- she actually growls on and off.
• Kalia told Jeff that if she puts him up, he's the pawn.
• He blew up at her.
• After a long feeds block again ... it's Rachel and Jeff on the block.
• Rachel is freaking out at Jordan, of all people.
• She wants to quit the game.
• Jordan, of course, is in her own tough spot -- she might lose Jeff!
• Yet she's trying to deal with Rachel.
• Rachel claims that she figured she was being nominated, but that Kalia didn't have to tell her she was catty and everything.
  
• It's going to be a long week in the house ...
  

Doing better than I thought she would

Not a happy camper

Almost sorry she got HoH

Big Brother 13 - The Live Feeds Trashbag Wedding

Apparently they didn't have time for it in the show, but CBS has put an edited version of the trashbag wedding of Rachel and Brendon up on the website. Here it is for your enjoyment:

Big Brother 13 8/04 Live Eviction/HoH Episode 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's show should be VERY interesting!

Rachel is crying. Oh wait ... that's par for the course and not a major update.

Evel Dick commentary on Daniele's gameplay ... he thinks she's playing badly. He thinks she's playing too hard, too fast.

Pre-vote spech time -- Brendon -- Shout-outs to family and love of Rachel, cries (gag), cries some more. Jordan -- Long week, stressful, wants to be here and with Jeff, loves them all, vote who you think will get you further in the game.

The votes to evict --
Jeff -- Brendon (duh)
Rachel -- Jordan (duh)
Commercial break.
Kalia -- Brendon
Adam -- Brendon
Porsche -- Jordan
Lawon -- Brendon
Shelly -- Brendon

No surprises there. Brendon is evicted. YAY! Now he's crying to Julie.

New twist - gather in living room. Think carefully about how you play the game this week because the next houseguest you evict might be back in the game. The previously evicted (of our choice) gets to battle next week's evicted to return. On the website.

HoH comp -- Giant chessboard on the lawn called Checkmate. Face off on podium about first three evicted HG.

Kalia eliminated Jordan ...chose Lawon and Rachel. Rachel eliminated Lawon. She chose Kalia and Adam. Kalia got it again, chose Rachel and Porsche. Rachel eliminated herself and swore by wrong answer. Jeff and Shelly -- Shelly won. Kalia and Porsche -- Kalia won, now against Shelly for HoH ...

KALIA IS THE NEW HEAD OF HOUSE!
