Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Thursday Afternoon 8/25

Is the Cold War over?

Hmm ... some interesting events in the house overnight. I'm really not quite sure what to make of them. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Double Dealing Divas:

• Things were going along as expected, with the hamsters practicing the roll the ball doohickey.
• Amazingly, Porsche has gotten good at that one.
• Then it happened.
• Rachel and Daniele talked.
• Rachel made the approach and, supposedly, it was to get the anger and problems between them in the past.
• After talking forever and civilly, Rachel said something along the lines of "you never even came to me to ask for a vote."
• Daniele guffawed.
  
• Yeah, like that would happen.
• Well, check out those flying pigs!
• And I believe Hell has frozen over.
• Rachel told Daniele she would vote for her to stay.
• Along with votes from Porsche and Shelly, Daniele would have the votes.
• Oh my.
• The problem I have with this is that I don't really trust Rachel.
• It could be that she's doing this just to have the final laugh as Daniele goes out the door, plus expose Shelly's betrayal to Jeff and Jordan.
• Later on, Daniele met up with both Shelly and Rachel. They say the deal is on.
• "I can't believe I'm dealing with the devil," said Shelly regarding Rachel.
• Meanwhile, Jeff and Jordan know they've lost Shelly.
• They have no clue about Rachel.
• When Rachel told them of her talk with Daniele, she focused on little picky snippy things and didn't say not one word about the vote.
• She acted like she and Daniele are still arch-enemies.
• Yet they're giggling each time they pass by each other.
• Until the feeds got cut for show prep, it looks like the deal is still on.
• So, don't be surprised if Daniele stays.
• Or not.
  

Jeff needs to be nervous

Dealing with the devil

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Wednesday Evening 8/24

Adonis pose?

The hamsters don't think tomorrow is the double eviction -- they're sure it's next week. What a rude awakening they're going to have, eh? Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother Habitrail of Harried Hamsters:

• Usually on Wednesdays, things are fairly quiet. After all, the jig is up, the scheming is done.
• But not this week!
• Shelly is still working on Adam to flip the vote, then make Jeff the next target.
• Adam is still noncommittal.
• Adam is more afraid that Rachel will win PoV and put him on the block.
• Even with both Daniele and Shelly trying to convince him, Adam wasn't buying.
• Not that he's outright saying no, mind you.
• He's doing the same thing he's done all season -- giving no hint, saying that they've given him something to think about.
• Daniele keeps telling him that he needs to make big moves.
• Yeah, like he'd even be in the position to make a "big move."
• A bit later, Rachel and Adam shook hands on voting Daniele out.
• I'm sure that's his plan.
• Yet Daniele kept at Adam. Persistent lil devil, huh?
• Thankfully Jeff got the HoH digital camera so the pathetic pleading stopped for a bit.
• While I personally would prefer Daniele in the house over Kalia for my own entertainment enjoyment, this is getting so ridiculous.
• Daniele knows that she's pretty sunk and is all but in panic mode grasping straws to try for a vote.
• Daniele does have both Porsche and Shelly. All she needs is Adam. But he's not swaying. And, he's not the type to just say he'll vote to keep her if he won't.
• If I were him under this level of interrogation, I'd demand a lawyer and end it all!
• Even though Adam has been reporting Daniele's plottings, Jeff still has more suspicion about Adam than he does of Shelly!
• And, no ... Adam has not thrown Shelly under the bus.
• Yet.
• After an indoor lockdown, they went to the yard to find a practice set-up for either an HoH or PoV comp (of course, they think HoH),
• Since a picture is worth a thousand words, see the screen caps below.
• It's almost impossible to roll a ball down that thing!
• At least it will quiet Daniele's scheming for a while.
  

HoH practice

This isn't easy!

Daniele can probably skip the practice

Big Brother 12 August 24 Power of Veto 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!

Veto player picking time -- Daniele plays with her ticket, Rachel is odd gal out (in more ways than one). She'll host.

Enter the ZingBot ...

Onto the veto game, ZingBot Labs. They have to assemble ZingBot brides. Jeff wins!

Veto meeting -- Speeches first. Porsche: Um, where I stand in the game, um, compete, want to win something. Kalia: Responsible for self, only way to keep safe is win the veto, keep me ...

Jeff takes Porsche off the block and puts Daniele on the block.

Eating the forbidden apple (cookie)?

This season is getting very perplexing. I demand a do-over with no returning hamsters! What? It's too late for that? Sigh.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Nervous Ne'er-do-wells:

• Starting Monday night, it was time for BB to start bringing out the badminton set and dollar store arts and crafts.
• Whoopee.
• They did make neat little bendy people. Surprise, surprise ... Porsche is good at something!
• Yesterday was another day of extreme pleading and pawing the walls for Daniele.
• I personally would rather Daniele stay than Kalia, but it's not anything related to the game.
• Sure, Daniele does make the game a bit more competitive.
• But that's not it.
• On the feeds, Kalia drives me up the wall with a host of odd little things she does.
• She's already been threatened by BB with a penalty nom for her incessant singing.
• If she isn't singing, she's whistling.
• If she isn't singing or whistling, she's tapping or practicing making odd faces.
• When she's not doing any of those things, she's pulling loose hairs from her head and tossing them on the floor. I'm not talking one strand, mind you.
• Atop of all those habits, she talks all the time and at about 100 MPH.
• But enough of that.
  
• Daniele has managed to sway Shelly, but will it stick?
• Shelly worked and worked on Adam to no avail.
• He wants to stick to Jeff and Jordan.
• Shelly even tried to work on Rachel.
• Yes, you heard me.
• More along the lines of keeping Daniele over Kalia, not jumping alliance ship, that is.
• There was EGG DRAMA in the house when BB gave them an Easter egg coloring kit.
• Um ... wouldn't that have expired by now?
• Rachel wanted to decorate some of the lots and lots of already hard-boiled eggs the Have Nots have.
• Kalia didn't want her to. She claims the dye seeps into the eggs and wanted Rachel to make her own boiled eggs.
• @@
• It was all but a brouhaha!
• They ended up using Have Not eggs, but not without resentment and discontent.
• As things stand right now, it looks like Daniele will not have the votes to stay.
• If Shelly is smart, she'll vote with her alliance rather than expose herself as a target sleeping with the enemy.
• I should mention that Daniele was sneaking a cookie under the covers last night.
  
• That's my top screen cap.
• That, of course, technically should be a penalty vote.
• Wanna bet BB won't do anything about it?

Adam chugs, Jeff and Jordan hug.

Rachel's glass is more full, but not of optimism.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Monday Night 8/22

Not a good birthday week!

After such a boring yesterday full of haircuts, hair dyes and "what if" scenarios, the doodoo hit the fan today. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Swirling Dervishes:

• As I posted earlier, Jeff saved Porsche and put Daniele up in her place.
• He kept Kalia up there mainly due to his earlier vow that if she put him on the block, he'd put her up.
• Although Kalia and Daniele had worked on Jeff to put Rachel up, we knew that wouldn't happen.
• This is a good game move for Jeff, especially if the votes hang in and Daniele actually goes. She's probably the strongest and most driven competitor in the house.
• However, she's also a shrewd manipulator.
• She's already working on Adam and Shelly, not only for the vote but to get them to see that they don't stand a chance with Jeff and Jordan in the end.
• Adam is always hard to read, but I think he's just thinking now with no clear promises to anyone.
• Meanwhile, Shelly told Daniele she would vote for her to stay.
• Daniele worked up the previous Jordan winnings, Jeff's won money already this season and more.
• Shelly once again said she wasn't there for the money although she'd like the win.
• In the past she has mentioned she doesn't receive her stipend, then production cut the feeds.
• This time she got the whole bit out ...
• ... she gives her stipend to HER COMPANY every week as a "thank you for letting her be on the show"!!!
• (And I'm NOT a multiple exclamation point user!)
• What the heck is up with that?
• Is that even legal?
• Of course, this is from a woman in this day and age who hasn't heard of pita chips. @@
  
• Kalia is working on Adam and Shelly, too.
• But she doesn't quite have the power of persuasion that Daniele does.
• While ten days ago, they were thinking this week would be the double eviction, now they think it's next week.
• Oopsie!
• Unrelated I know, but Adam's standing moving back and forth from one foot to the other while everyone else sits, bugs me.
• Either stand still or sit! It's as bad as Shelly zooming around cleaning when they're on lockdown.
• Right now, there's mistrust all over the house.
• Rachel, unfortunately, is sitting pretty with Jeff and Jordan.
• Shelly and Adam might flip, it's hard to tell.
• Actually they might do better teaming up with Kalia or Daniele and Porsche, numberswise.
• But they still suck at comps.
• That's where we stand for now -- a ball of confusion in a spool of lies.
• Good.
  

Sit down already!
