Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Wednesday Evening 8/10

Jeff and Lawon thug ... mug for the HoH camera

Another day in the house x'd off the calendar, eh? Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Confused Critters:

• The upcoming twist hint to the hamsters has them going bonkers.
• Well, more bonkers than they already were, that is.
• Rachel and Lawon are both sure that in all probability whomever is evicted will return.
• Daniele and Kalia figured think that someone else might return ... like Brendon!
• Oh my.
• Jeff and Jordan want Rachel to stay even though she's driving them up the wall.
• Most of the hamsters think Rachel needs to be on some kind of drug to calm her down.
• They think she has the record for running off to the Diary Room crying or fussing.
• Shelly seems to be with Jordan and Jeff -- already told Kalia and Daniele she will be voting to save Rachel.
• Adam seems to be with Jordan and Jeff, agreeing to vote to keep Rachel.
• J, J, A, S think the vote will be 4-2 to evict Lawon.
• They think only Porsche and Daniele will vote to evict Rachel.
• Jeff and Jordan told Adam that the others think it's going to be a tie vote and they can imply that Porsche was the hinky vote to keep Rachel.
• Adam's not too keen on that.
• He likes to get along with everyone.
• When Daniele and Kalia asked him about the vote, he told them he hadn't made up his mind yet.
• That was after he agreed with Jeff and Jordan to keep Rachel.
• It's a ball of confusion.
• Or, perhaps it's all just a spool of lies (Copyright: Howie)
• They got the HoH camera, so fun was had by all.
• Yippee yahoo.
• Earlier in the evening, the feeds went down for two hours so the hamsters could celebrate the halfway mark with a private party.
• Watching Shelly on the feeds is driving me crazy.
• If she was a waitress, she'd be cleaning the table while you're in mid-bite. Maybe it's nervous energy, but the darting around cleaning everything and looking for a napkin set down so she can run it to the trash ... it's all very distracting.
• She doesn't cook, though.
• Jeff and Adam are the big cooks this season.
• Well, I can ramble no longer.

Speaking of which ...

Rachel is really wearing on Jordan

Adam does the funky chicken

Rachel puts on her face

What's that Jeff is smoking?

Big Brother 13 August 10 Power of Veto 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!

So much for that party with Blogger down for the exact time of the show. Sigh. At least we know what happened from the live feeds ...

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Through Tuesday 8/09

Shelly picks at her toes in public. Ew.

Yes, I realize I haven't really posted on Tuesday. There are a few reasons. The MAIN reason is that there has been very little going on. Yeah, there were cute moments, a bit of game talk, some trashtalk, but nothing ground-shaking. The second reason is an issue where I messed up my knee in PT today. That's physical therapy, not Dominic (nicknamed PT for Pre-Teen). Pain and pain meds don't make for great typing or thinking skills.

So I decided to post odd screen caps of each hamster instead of a lot of words. Here's some of what I've gleaned from inside that Big Brother House of Boring Beasties:

• I noticed in the previous post comments that someone thinks Lawon "saved Jordan" by volunteering to go up.
• That's totally wrong.
• Kalia told everyone she would not put Jordan on the block, nor backdoor her. Jordan and Kalia made a promise long ago.
• I'm not a big fan of Kalia's, but she gave her word and she kept it.
• Of course, she made sure that Jeff and Jordan knew she was keeping it -- for brownie points, I'm sure.
• The plan is to vote out Lawon this week, not Rachel.
• Amazing, eh?
• They really think with the new twist that Lawon might come back and automatically be HoH.
• They don't want Rachel to be HoH.
• And I'm the one on pain meds messing up my mind, eh?
• Porsche is getting talked about by everyone.
• She's trying to hang with Kalia and Daniele.
• But they both trashtalk her when she's not around.
• Shelly, meanwhile, is still working her mojo for the most part.
• She has dreams of being in the final three with Jeff and Jordan.
• I've decided I want Jeff in my place not only for the eye candy factor, but to be my own personal chef. He's very domesticated!
• Rachel has calmed down and, for the most part, not causing any issues.
• She did wear Daniele's hat, though. Daniele had lent the hat to Porsche. She's probably going to burn it now.
• Nothing to see here, folks.
• Tomorrow and Thursday until the show will probably be just as non-eventful.
• Sigh.
  

Did Rachel cut herself shaving and
stick bits of toilet tissue on it?
(Actually pimple cream, but ...!)

Kalia relives her hysterics at seeing the HoH room.

Jordan does a Donald Duck/Chipmunk version
of "When the Saints Come Marching In"

Uncle Fester Adam sleeps with his mouth open.

Not a great look, Lawon.

Daniele whispers to Kalia in front of Rachel.
This was to demonstrate her silent clicky
whispering technique I hate so much.

Jeff refused to let me find him in a bad shot.

And then there's Porsche ... still just there.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Monday/PoV Meeting

Now things are getting way confusing. Here's what's happened since I last updated the scoop from inside that Big Brother House of Hilarious Hijinks:

• We last left with Shelly working her mojo on Kalia to put up Porsche and Kalia trying to get Daniele aboard the plan.
• So what happens?
• We need another screw thrown into the works ...
• Lawon told Kalia he's VOLUNTEERING to go on the block against Rachel.
• Say what?
• Has he EVER watched the show?
• You NEVER give up your PoV (unless you're Brendon to Rachel).
  
• You NEVER volunteer to be a pawn.
• You NEVER spit into the wind.
• You NEVER tug on Superman's cape.
• Okay, you get the point.
• Lawon is figuring he won't get voted out or, if he does, he will be coming back with the twist.
• So, sure enough ... the PoV meeting went down. Jeff saved himself and Kalia put Lawon on the block with Rachel.
• Now, I can understand why she's doing it -- if Rachel gets voted out (and/or comes back), she can claim she tried and really thought Rachel had the votes to stay over Lawon.
• This way she can save face with all sides of the house. She should get what she wants yet have no one gunning for her.
• It's Lawon whose thinking I'm just not getting.
• Has someone slapped him upside the head with a silly stick?
• Lawon is putting on a big pouting act over the nominations.
• Rachel is thinking she has a chance to stay.
• Hmmm ....
  

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Sunday Night 8/07

Eek! Stranger in the house!

I realize that I didn't update much today. However, little of real game interest happened until this evening. Sure, Adam had his birthday, but they hid that from us. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Shelly Blue Persuasion:

• So much for the arrival of their grill. First off, it came on a Have/Have Not week, not the best choice.
• Then they had to wait out the lockdown inside as BB cleaned the yard from the PoV comp.
• So they finally got outside and ready to play with their new playtoy when music started wafting into the compound.
• Yeah, I know it's a yard.
• But compound always sounds so much more official.
• It turns out that there was a wedding or something nearby the house. Can't have that noise!
• So they ended up lockdowned again inside the house.
• Yes, I know lockdowned isn't a word. But in the BB house it is!
• They finally got to cook at about 2:45 AM their time.
• Of course, that means that they sleep late and Sunday's usually kind of a nothing day anyway.
• The big daytime event was Adam shaving.
• Oh my. Now he looks like the principal on Room 222.
• Yes, I dated myself with that reference. Live with it, please.
• Okay ... remember Rachel gave Kalia a big long (and civil) talk about putting someone on the block who would pretty much guarantee her (Rachel's) safety this week.
• Kalia (and Daniele) had been leaning towards putting Adam on the block with Rachel to clinch Rachel getting evicted.
• Rachel didn't come out and mention names, but it's Porsche she wants as Jeff's replacement.
• And, Kalia knows that. Porsche is the most likely to be voted out of the remaining hamsters.
• So what happens tonight?
• Shelly went to Kalia with just about the same talk albeit naming names.
• She pointed out that Porsche can't be trusted by either side and, if she were to return in the twist, she isn't as big a threat.
• Shelly, using her mind persuasion mojo, worked just about every angle.
• Kalia sat there mesmerized, almost to the point of being in a daze.
• The rough part would be convincing Daniele it was in their best interest and, if Porsche goes, there could be a truce ... for a week or so.
• Kalia went over the "idea" with Jeff who was agreeable, but said he didn't really want to commit to any deals until he sees that Porsche is indeed on the block.
• When she talked it over with Daniele, Daniele (of course) didn't like it.
• But Kalia also wants to show she makes her own decisions and isn't merely Daniele's puppet.
• Nah, but it could be Shelly pulling those strings.
• Once again, I really am impressed by Shelly's gameplay. She went to Jeff to let her know she set it up.
• If all works and Kalia is happy with the results, she knows it was Shelly's doing.
• As a viewer, I'm a bit concerned.
• The hamsters only know that the person evicted might come back.
• They don't know that there is a possibility of one already evicted coming back.
• Now, if the house sends Porsche packing this week, it's guaranteed that Cassi, Dominic or Brendon could beat her.
• We might as well leave Keith out of things. I don't think America has him in mind at all.
• Hmmm ...
• We won't know until tomorrow (today) who Kalia will nominate to replace Jeff.
  

Jeff in his cool boy cap.

Rachel has never seen a bad feeds shot of herself.

Shelly worked her mojo on Kalia.
