Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Into Late Sunday Night 7/15-16

Coach Dan

G'day, hamsterwatchers! I'm sure you're just dying to know the latest hijinks from those Big Brother Scampering Sillies! Here goes:

• Ian had his big date night with Ashley.
• While Dan had coached him on how to present himself, Boogie coached him on getting intelligence from her.
• Heh. I said "getting intelligence."
• Boogie wanted Ian to find out which girls SHE likes or not.
• Britney was their waitress because Wil (the waiter) ended up being called to the Diary Room.
• Most of the "date" was built around the discussion of organic chemistry.
• @@
• In their date game talk, Ashley told Ian she would be voting whatever her team votes.
• Ian reminded her that it's really not a team game.
• Many are really losing sight of that. But the teams are making for ready-made mini-alliances.
• Ian thinks he "planted seeds" in Ashley's mind gameplay-wise.
• Janelle thinks Willie is becoming too controlling -- he blew up because he thought she and Kara were scheming when they were just talking fluff stuff.
• Janelle says she won't allow Willie to bully either herself or Wil.
• NOW he's starting to sound like a Hantz!
• Willie thinks all the coaches want to target the stronger players.
• Well, duh.
• Janelle thinks that Danielle has a big crush on Shane.
• Well, duh.
• JoJo says she'll go on a date with Ian next week with espionage in mind.
• Can you see Ian and JoJo as a couple? Yikes!
• Willie thinks that they should stop talking eviction until just before eviction because they keep changing their minds between Kara and Frank.
• Y'think?
• Ian spent some time alone talking to the camera in the Have Not room. He thinks he might need to win HoH soon as he might be a target. He also thinks Frank is going to go this week.
• There ya go ... the news of the evening. As I get this posted, most are in bed but Dan is sitting alone outside.
• UPDATE -- Now it's Willie and Ashley outside talking strategy. Willie is trying to get in with everyone. Hopefully his social game will be better than Russell's was!

Rub-a-dub-dub

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Into Sunday Evening 7/15

Hunka-hunka

The big event of today was that the PoV meeting was held. For feedsters, its a bit of a non-event as the feeds get blocked. Today's was even more of a non-event as we knew Shane wouldn't use the veto. The nominations remain the same. 

What else has been happening in that Big Brother House of Ill Repute? Read on ...

• Boogie is definitely the early riser this year. Oh well.
• He gave some shout outs and fussed about dirty dishes and ants.
• Heck, the house has ant issues every year.
• Paranoid Joe has been pushing the idea that BB will switch up the coaches.
• Wil and Joe talked. Wil thinks that Willie has an agreement with Frank.
• He does, kind of sort of.
• Neither Wil nor Joe think that Frank could be trusted in whatever he's got going with Willie.
• They're probably right.
• Joe told Janelle that Frank and Jenn approached him about taking out Willie.
• If that indeed happened, I missed it.
• He says that Willie and Shane are their targets.
• Danielle is STILL following Shane around like a puppy dog.
• It's almost as creepy as some of Ian's oddities.
• Boogie is trying to recruit Shane.
• With Joe's telling on Frank to BritJan, etc., it looks like the tides are turning once again.
• First the target was Frank.
• Then it was Kara.
• Now it seems Frank's in trouble again.
• They're getting all psyched for Showtime as I type this up.
• Don't they realize we're out here watching them 24/7?
• Ian has been being coached on dating.
• Tonight will be date night.
• Oh well.

Janelle is worried

Big Brother 14: Blog Party! 7/15 Episode

Yep, it's even starting on time! As the show airs, I'll post major events right here on this entry. But the real fun is in the comments ... come join us!

The Coaches Competition will give them a new power. All four coaches compete this week to grant one player safety. It will also decide the Have Nots for the week.

Boogie won. He saves Ian. The Have Mots are decided by each coach. Brit - Shane, Dan - Danielle, Janelle - Ashley, Boogie - Ian.

Nominations. Ian is wearing a duck on his head and is safe. Key order -- JoJo, Shane, Wil, Danielle, Ashley, Jenn, Joe. Kara and Frank are on the block. Earlier they decided that they would nominate the two strongest players from Boogie and Dan.

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds into Sunday Morning 7/15

Oh my, what big chess pieces you have!

As I get this written up, the hamsters are all still sleeping. Willie talks in his sleep ... something about getting the bears. Um. Okay. Here's the latest news from the late night and overnight hours inside that Big Brother House of Recruited Characters:

• Don't expect Janelle to ever do another "All Stars" season. According to her, it ain't gonna happen.
• Ian can name every BB eviction in order. That's an obsession, for sure.
• They had a flare-up when trying to get the fire pit started.
• I'm not sure why BB gives them dangerous weapons.
• Ian can kick himself in the face with his foot. I know I saw that on his Facebook page, now the hamsters have seen it.
• Why? That's my only question.
• Joe is STILL paranoid!
• Willie told Frank that he is indeed Russell's brother.
• So now the news is getting around. I don't think it will bear much weight with them at this point. He's getting known for his own merits or otherwise.
• Jenn and Frank told Joe it wasn't their fault they were chosen by Boogie. They'd like to disassociate themselves from him, but can't really do that.
• Since no one is telling him, Dan told Kara he thinks she has a 75% chance of staying.
• Yeah, right.
• She's still the latest target.
• Although I would go for getting Frank out. But I'm not a hamster in the house.
• Janelle thinks Dan is trying to send her on guilt trips when he tells her that she's his mother's favorite houseguest.
• Dan's mother just has good taste! I only wish she had told him to stop shouting in the Diary Room.
• Later today, expect the PoV Meeting! 

His knees are going to regret that someday

What? We're supposed to PLAY the game?

Off Topic - That Was the Week It Was - July 15, 2012

Good morning, people! If you're a Big Brother fan looking for a live feeds report, check out the post before this one. I will be getting the latest update up in just a bit. This is my weekly off television topic photo post reflecting on the week gone by in both words and photographs I've taken along the way.

I had a staycation this past week. Unfortunately, a stomach bug of some sort took up a good portion of my time off. On Wednesday, feeling a bit better, I thought I'd venture out to photograph the wildlife at Mindowaskin Park in Westfield, then hit up Trader Joe's for some goodies. 

What a mistake! They've let the park get all rundown, its pond covered with algae and smelly. I got a few shots, but saw no ducks or geese, my planned targets. The neglect of a park which had always drawn in such water fowl is sad indeed.

I took so many much better photos stopping by Bernice's garden after attending the opening of the Summer Invitational Photo Exhibit at the Plainfield Public Library. Once again, the photos at the exhibit were truly inspiring! I felt so proud to be a part of it last year and actually even a bit proud of Plainfield itself! Congratulations, Bernice!

I spent some time at the big Citizens Appreciation Day BBQ put on by Plainfield Firefighters, ate a bit and headed on home to catch up on my Big Brother live feeds. Yes, it's that time of year again. I return to work tomorrow already having received a text message from my boss warning me of a very busy week ahead. I guess it all keeps me off the streets and out of trouble!

Onto the photos -- clicking on an image will open it in a new window, clicking again will make it larger, closing that new window will send you right back here. 

Beeware!

This is one of the shots I took in Bernice's flower garden. What a sweet little oasis in the middle of downtown! Thank you for showing me around, Bernice!

Orange happiness

Also at Bernice's.

Pleased to meet you!

One of Bernice's little friends.
