Big Brother 14: Live Feeds into Saturday Evening 7/14

Dollar store rugs?

Now, we all know that BB gets their arts and crafts for the hamsters from dollar stores. Apparently they get their bathroom rugs there, too. That said, it wouldn't hurt a hamster to sweep up all the cheap rug shreds all over the floor. It bugs me every time I see it. Get a Swiffer in there!

The schedule is a bit askew this week due to them having to have show fodder for the premiere. As a result, today was a bit of a doldrums day -- nothing scheduled, sunshine and boredom. Without further ado, here's what's happened today inside that Big Brother House of Whack-a-Mole Cousins:

• The sloped and oddly shaped beds in the Swirl Room seem to have claimed another victim. It took a while for Shane, the first up, to look comfortable and he complained about his back.
• Boogie worked on Shane to use the veto to save Frank, promising him safety and all.
• No go.
• The Ever Paranoid Joe questioned Boogie on why he would put him on the block.
• If he doesn't cut it out, he might be on the block just because!
• Anyway, he's always picking at food with his fingers. I know he's a chef, but he lives in a houseful of hamsters. Keep yer little hamster claws out of the food! Utensils!
• Oh. And just after I took the screen cap of the bathroom (above), Boogie came out of the toilet stall and walked on by without washing his hands.
• EW! EW!
• Danielle is just short of useless in the game. Dan really doomed himself with his picks.
• Ian spends his time between acting like a fool for the cameras to just lurking about making others uneasy.
• Sigh. I had such hope for the boy!
• They're still flip-flopping over who should get the boot this week -- Kara or Frank.
• Janelle wants to stay quiet, then blindside Dan by booting Kara.
• But then she also thinks of reasons to keep her.
• It's going to be a long week in the house.
• Willie, who has been growing a slight beard, says they told him he can't shave until Thursday.
• We know that's so they can use clips out of order without worrying about beard/no beard! At least it's too early for them to air clips we know were taken three weeks ago and pretend it's news for the TV show!
• Shane talked with Frank, acting like he's willing to be in an alliance with him.
• Oh yeah, if they do indeed evict Kara (as deemed by BritJan), Frank won't know Shane had nothing to do with it and Shane gains an ally.
• They already have the chronic problem of expired foods and fruit gone bad. 
• Maybe BB gets its food at dollar stores, too!
• Willie and Joe cleaned out the refrigerator. Joe kept sticking his fingers in things snacking and "testing."
• Britney even called him out on that yesterday. Yet he continues.
• I think they'd be happier if both nominees could go. It should be Kara, though.  

I can see him still dressed like this at 60

Th-th-that's all, folks!

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Into Saturday Morning 7/14

CarrotTop on the block

Hamsters in Limbo a'goin' on in the house! With the PoV meeting not expected until Sunday, the two nominees (Frank and Kara) are definitely feeling the stress. Even worse than that, it's hard for me to figure out who's going this time around! Normally there's a clear-cut So-and-So will be out. Not so much with these two.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother house of Rampant Rodents:

• Willie really really wants to keep Frank for some odd reasons of his own. Supposedly he feels he can trust him more than he can trust Kara.
• BritJan are pushing for Kara to stay. Their reasoning? Frank is a stronger player, get him out while they can. Frank is also one of Boogie's Boys. They do NOT want Boogie to remain unscathed if they have a chance.
• Willie did have a heart to heart talk with Kara about working together despite coaches.
• Oh my.
• Shades of Russell even if Willie does sound and come across as less of a snake oil salesman!
• Dan seems to be migrating a bit away from Boogie and more towards BritJan.
• Willie and BritJan think that Ian and Jenn are spying on them.
• The boys got their alcohol last night. Woohoo.
• It put most of them to sleep before the others headed to bed.
• Dan not only shouts in the Diary Room, he taps a lot.
• And I'm not talking dancing.
• Stop it, Dan.
• Dan has been pleading Kara's case.
• I personally think getting rid of Frank would be a better move. 
• He doesn't entertain me much on the feeds.
• So he can go.
• JoJo is on the annoying side.
• But, then again, she's from Staten Island ... where most of the Jersey Shore cast hails from. Enough said.
• I don't care that Staten Island is about ten miles from me. They're a whole different world.
• Joe is super paranoid that the veto will be used and he will go on the block.
• Yep, his name has indeed come up!
• But I don't think that Shane will use the veto unless BritJan tell him to.
• While talking to Willie, Kara told him he has her word that she wouldn't nominate him if she won HoH. She wants Boogie's team out.
• Willie, Joe and JoJo all smoke this year. JoJo smokes while wearing a nicotine patch. @@
• WHOA! Now BritJan have changed their (solitary) mind! 
• They have decided to take Kara out and get DAN out of the game!
• Willie, of course, agreed.
• It's what he wanted all along -- Kara out.
• They decide not to say anything to Dan or spies, but to keep their votes intact.
• So now it looks like Kara will be out the door this week, shiny knees and all.
• And little Mr. Nerdy Ian better watch his game. His name as a nominee is being mentioned WAY too much.
• Of course, anything can change between now and Thursday.
• Stay tuned. 

Ms. Shiny Knees

A bundle of joy

Odd bedfellows

Definitely a young Tom Cruise with a better nose thing going on

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Update into Friday Evening 7/13

Fashion Police! Bust him. NOW

Of course, I broke the biggest news of the day earlier -- Shane won the PoV. Since he's on the Girl Coach Duo alliance, he's sure not to use it. But what else has been happening in that Big Brother House of Coached Kitty Feed? Read on ...

• The Janelle/Britney bond is going to be a tough one for the boys to break.
• Boogie wants to drive a wedge between them via one of their team members, but has no real plan.
• BritJan like Dan, but know he's somehow automatically in with Boogie.
• Dan has bigger problems of his own -- his decisions and his team suck.
• They really do.
• Of the two he has left since Jodi's early exit, Kara is his best player.
• And she's on the block.
• Danielle seems to occupy her time following Shane around in daze.
• The PoV game had to do with coins, water and soap they all seemed to get in their eyes.
• They're all really banged up, so it had to be rough.
• Willie said he and Shane were really close to winning, but Shane did just a bit better.
• They said Dan did odd things like directing Kara to stack coins(?) and having Danielle sabotage other players.
• Boogie doesn't think Danielle's a school teacher like she said. He thinks she's in the medical field.
• That was a stupid lie anyway.
• Frank says that the coaches need them, but they don't need the coaches.
• He's got a point there. They should never forget that they're playing individual games, not a team game.
• While Ashley was in horrible shape last night and whisked away to a doctor today, she's not looking like Miss Death anymore.
• Ian wants to dress up like a cat for the live show. @@
• Apparently he wore a duck on his head during nominations.
• Shane suggested that he use the veto to save Kara, then they could put Joe on the block.
• Why Joe?
• Because they're not sure of his vote to save Kara. D'oh!
• It still looks like the veto will not be used. And, it's a toss-up between who goes home. BritJan really want Frank to go. Willie wants to keep Frank, but will probably go with BritJan. I just don't know. 

Ian is giving me great photo fodder

He'd look less like Russell sans cap

On the block blues

My Picks Suck blues

Dan works it out with Janelle and Britney

No comment, Danielle

Big Brother 14: Special Bulletin - PoV Winner

First PoV Winner of the season

My pool boy Shane won the first PoV of the season. It's unlikely the nominations (Frank and Kara) will be changed.

I'll be filing a full report later tonight. Most of today so far they waited around for the comp to start. 

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Into Friday Morning

Ian isn't the hamster I hoped he would be

Nothing of any huge importance has happened since my first report. However, we're still trying to catch up with things missed as the hamsters were in the Habitrail for nearly a week before the live feeds went on. Plus, I must say, this crowd is already heavy into the game ... unlike many seasons before. 

So, here's the latest news gleaned from inside that Big Brother House of Fun:

• Ian isn't meshing well with the crowd. While the kid gives good Diary, he's a bit of a social outcast amongst his fellow hamsters. 
• Some discussed how differently (normal) Ian started acting when he knew the feeds went live.
• Of course, WE don't know that because the feeds weren't live!
• Britney and Willie talked about how many sensitive people there are in the house this year (those who burst into tears).
• Included on that list are: Ashley, Danielle, Wil, Kara and Joe.
• The coaches had some kind of comp which Boogie won.
• Janelle said she felt bad beating Dan in the comp.
• Due to the comp (somehow), Ian has safety this week. He couldn't be nominated, nor can he be put up with PoV changes.
• In other news, Wil freaked out because JoJo drank his drink and then laughed and talked about him when he reacted.
• Instead of actually confronting her, he went into to some quiet little hissy fit making Britney and Janelle worry about him.
• JoJo needs to watch her bridges burned. She seems to be into everything.
• They say Joe is a drama queen, although I haven't seen it. Britney and Willie jokingly discussed how he'd commit suicide to get out of the house -- go in the pool and keep inhaling water until he sinks, poisoning his own food.
• Yes, Britney does still have that Mean Girl streak. But she's always entertaining.
• Janelle and Britney are tight. They think Dan made horrible picks.
• Willie wants to keep Frank over Kara. But the Coaching Duo of Britney and Janelle tell him it's more dangerous.
• Not sure when PoV will happen. They're all still on indoor lockdown and are sleeping right now. 

Begrudgingly, I admit Boogie has matured a teensy bit

Storage room strategy

Shh ... sleeping hamsters
