Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Friday Morning 8/26

A very sad Jordan

Now, we all need to remember that this is a game. Sure, it's an important and probably life-changing to some extent game for the hamsters themselves. But it's Big Brother. Betrayals and backstabbing are the norm. Winning competitions or being perceived as a strong competitor puts a target on your back. Yet, when there's an upheaval, there is drama. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Pancakes (get it? you flip pancakes!):

• I hate to see Jordan so sad. She's usually such a delight to watch on the feeds.
• Not so much after the feeds started up after the show.
• Cussing, crying and having a general hissy fit.
• Oh my.
• Later she cried some more because she felt she embarrassed her family by misbehaving.
• Aw.
• As we all could have predicted, Adam gravitated to the new power group, stranding Rachel and Jordan on their own little Pity Island.
• Shelly was also in tears feeling bad about betraying Jordan.
• But strategy-wise, that was the best move she could make for her own game.
  
• Rachel, still in her silly furry boots during a California summer, ran around the house demanding her stuffed dog Mr. Crackers back.
• Jordan and Rachel packed Jeff's bags.
• And cried.
• Rachel and Jordan are all but bereft. It's hard to tell if they're going to be able to get their acts together to win anything from this point forward.
• The feeds were blocked for the HoH comp which sounds like it was similar to the practice set-up in the yard.
• You know ... the one I mentioned that Porsche was surprisingly good at playing.
• Yup, there's a new HoH.
• And she's a car, a Porsche as a matter of fact.
• Kalia's short reign garnered her a basket delivered to the storage room.
• Porsche got the full HoH treatment, including a letter from her little brother.
• The next target seems to be Rachel.
• Well, duh.
• The new gang of four -- Shelly, Adam, Porsche and Kalia -- plan on telling Jordan about Rachel's "deal" with Damiele in an effort to alienate Jordan and Rachel.
• They all seem to really feel sorry for Jordan.
• But they thought Jeff was too full of himself and controlling ... he had to go.
• Although Jeff was my eye candy dude and I hate to see Jordan so sad, they're right.
• It was a good game move.

A sad Shelly

Being accused of taking Mr. Crackers

The new HoH. Yes, really.

Not live feeds, but here is the rest of the Jeff/Julie interview:

Big Brother 13 Live Double Eviction Show Party 8/25

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!

Blog community member Petals decided that the ship in our blog pool (big pool, I guess) needs to be christened. She wrote this up:
"Today we come to name this lady “Miss Chevious”, and send her to seablog to be cared for, and to care for the Jackie’s TV Blog family. We ask the sailors of old and the mood of God that is the seablog to accept “Miss Chevious”, as her name, to help her through contestant passages, to carry those who cheer reality show contestants to victory, to safely float the loyal Jackie devotees, and allow her to return with her crew safely." Again, with the raising of the glasses, "TO THE SEABLOG...TO THE BLOGGERS BEFORE US...To…." Miss Chevious”!! *DRINK*

Filler and now speeches ... Daniele: Love for game, thanks, write Jeff and Jordan a paycheck, etc. Kalia: Vote for me! (Perhaps not a good idea as the vote is to evict!)

The vote to evict:
Jordan -- Daniele
Porsche -- Kalia
Shelly -- Kalia
Rachel -- Daniele
Adam -- Daniele

Daniele is out, let the fun begin.

HoH is a Before or After questioning. Adam is the first out. Porsche, Rachel and Shelly out. Between Jordan and Kalia.

Kalia is HoH! Jeff and Rachel are nominated. PoV next.

PoV - Clowning Around. Search for two yellow clown shoes from vaults. One clown shoe at a time. Porsche won the PoV.

Rachel and Jeff get a chance to speak. Porsche does not use it. Rachel and Jeff are still on the block.

Rachel and Jeff get to speak.

The votes to evict:
Jordan -- Rachel
Porsche -- Jeff
Adam -- Rachel
Shelly -- Jeff

It's a tie. Kali makes the tiebreaker. She votes Jeff out.

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.
