Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Saturday Night Into Sunday Morning - July 28-29

Wil's birthday suit

It was an evening for festivities in the house as the hamsters celebrated Wil's birthday, plus selected hamsters got to attend a sushi party won by Britney in the coaches comp. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Hamsters Shouldn't Let Fellow Hamsters Get Drunk on the Live Feeds:

• Ashley still thinks Ian is the biggest threat in the house.
• Good. I hope he is. I'd like him to do well!
• But none of the others are as focused on Ian as is Ashley. That's good.
• Frank was supposed to be on last season, got his key and all ... and we got the feeds cut.
• Hmm.
• Those who couldn't attend the sushi party are: Ian and Joe (Have Nots), Frank, Jenn, Wil and Ashley. All of the coaches, Danielle and Shane are the only ones at THAT party.
• That doesn't mean the others didn't party.
• Some of a Wil Diary Room session leaked into the house.
• Supposedly he's the biggest physical threat on Janelle's team.
• Well, Joe could be but he really has sucked at each and every comp.
• And Ashley is um ... Ashley.
• So, I guess it is Wil!
• Only the people attending the sushi party could be in the yard. They each had two drinks and a glorious meal.
• While the sushi party was going on, BB gave the indoor crew alcohol (not the Have Nots -- Joe and Ian).
• They decided to get dressed up and have their own bash.
• Ian wore blue skin-tight boxers and a bow-tie.
• Wil and the others are more easily defined in the screen caps.
• The sushi party invaded the indoor party ... and cake flew everywhere.
• Janelle smashed Ian in the face with cake then apologized for the penalty nomination he'll get for eating while a Have Not.
• Now, BB wouldn't do that!
• They were drunk and loud.
• Maybe it was fun if you were there. I'm just glad that rowdy party wasn't going on in the apartment next door.
• I even had to turn the volume down because I didn't want my neighbors to think I was throwing a wild party!
• Drunks, drunks, drunks ... all on the equivalent of two beers each, except Wil who had a whole bottle of wine.
• @@
• Ian ran from the bathroom wearing only a hat strategically placed. 
• Now, he wasn't drunk! 
• Oh my.
• When he returned to the Have Not room for his clothes, he asked the camera if it enjoyed his show.
• The camera shook its head no.
• They played Spin the Bottle. Uh-oh.
• Ashley had to kiss Frank!
• Dan tried to get Danielle to let up a bit on the booze drinking.
• After all, loose lips sink ships!
• Wil ran out naked through the party to go skinny-dipping.
• Dan and Britney told both Shane and Danielle to cool it with their showmance. It will hurt their game.
• They're right.
• Ian had a super hammock rocking session. I think he sorts everything out in his mind when he does that.
• As I get this posted, Boogie just got up and started making coffee. 

Jenn went to town

Off Topic: That Was the Week It Was - July 29, 2012

Good Sunday morning, folks! Welcome to my weekly off television topic reflection on the week gone by in both words and photos I've taken. If you're looking for Big Brother content, you can find all my latest posts right at this link. I posted a live feeds report last night and will be submitting one with the late night and overnight happenings in a few hours. You might want to skip this post, but you're indeed welcome to stay!

It was another Super Summer week here in the NJ/NYC Greater Metropolitan Area. I'm SO ready for the summer to end. Heat and humidity? I'm not a fan. Oh, sure ... I love a way cool thunderstorm now and again, but not if it knocks my power out. 

On the Jersey 'hood front, the Demon Hello Ice Cream Truck is still terrorizing the streets. I still have not bought any ice cream from it. I fear I'd start shouting "Hello! Hello!" and start beeping and making farm animal noises.

Speaking of farm animal noises, the urban rooster in the 'hood no longer crows. No, I don't think his goose (rooster) was cooked. I believe the entire Deliverance Family has up and left. For some reason, I think they probably rented out that house and lived there long enough to get evicted for non-payment of the rent. 

On the apartment building front, they finally have all of the video cameras filming the three entry doors to the building. I pretend I'm on Big Brother and peek at them out of the corner of my eye as entering or leaving. How much do you want to bet that someone will eventually steal the cameras?

Once again, I didn't have a great photo-taking week. I got a few decent shots, but I was hot and sweaty or it was raining or I seemed to be running late for the part of the week. Work itself was a bit less hectic, but I'm not getting a lot of sleep due to the BB live feeds reporting atop of trying to lead a normal working life.

Here's what I took to share with you this week:

Lightning bug up close and personal

Once again, a lightning bug was in the hallway. This time it was up on the wall allowing for a better shot. The windows by the elevator have no screens (although they do have child guards) and people keep opening them as the corridors have no AC. Thus, bugs come in. Look! He has little HANDS!

The 'shroom family

Obviously heading out for a day of summer fun. Bridgewater, NJ

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Into Saturday Evening - July 28

What the heck is with that hair?

Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends. Glad you could attend, step inside, step inside. (Apologies to Emerson, Lake and Palmer) Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Brain Salad Surgery:

• Joe fussed about the Have Not bed. Oh, poor guy.
• It's Wil's 25th birthday. Eh.
• Ashley told Frank that Wil and Joe told her that he (Frank) wants her out because she's a floater. He denied it.
• Oh, but I know that Joe, Boogie, Shane, Janelle and more have definitely talked about the floaters in the house -- Jenn, Ashley, Ian and Danielle.
• Frank told Ashley if she got Houseguest's Choice in the PoV pick, she should choose him -- he'd keep the nominations the same and Joe would be going home, not her.
• Well, duh. Joe will probably go home no matter who he's against!
• Ashley says she only trusts her team.
• Wil and Joe?
• Oh, my ... seal your own doom, girl. They won't save you!
• She ended up drawing Wil for her PoV pick.
• Frank and Danielle also played for PoV with Wil, Ashley, Joe and Shane. Jenn is the host.
• Ashley really wants Ian, Shane and Frank out of the house.
• She better step up her game then, eh?
• Shane told Danielle he only trusts her.
• Gag me now.
• Janelle told Wil that Frank is just like Willie and needs to go.
• Huh. Frank isn't like Willie at all. If anything, JOE is a bit like Willie.
• Ashley also thinks that Danielle listens too much and it scares her.
• Ashley is a nut!
• Joe asked Frank to take him off the block if he wins.
• Frank just schluffed it off saying that his ears have been burning the past few days. Joe really shouldn't talk about people, then want them to help him!
• Janelle tried to pep talk her team.
• Her team looked like the saddest most worried people on the face of this earth.
• Rah-rah.
• Shane said he promised his Mom that he wouldn't have a showmance.
• So ... why is Danielle all over him?
• The feeds were blocked for the veto comp.
• But Shane won AGAIN!
• Joe thinks it's obvious he will be going home.
• Obviously!
• Britney told Janelle that her team left them high and dry two weeks in a row.
• Yep.
• Janelle told Britney that Boogie's team is running the game and that isn't right.
• But, gee ... when Janelle went to the Dark Side joining forces with Boogie, it was alright then, eh?
• Ashley talking about Frank being mad they couldn't backdoor Shane during Frank's HoH: "When Willie got executed or expelled ... whatever ..."
• Ashley is more frightened of Ian than she is of Frank.
• @@ Did I mention nutty?
• Now, instead of cigarettes, Janelle's offering up her wedding ring as a bribe? Sheesh!
• Joe said the "royal breakfast" for Shane wasn't his idea -- it was suggested by the Diary Room.
• Go figure.
• Janelle and Co. think they have convinced Shane to put Frank on the block.
• I say they're dreaming.
• Joe is even playing the "my kids future" card.
• They're going to be having a sushi party (won by Britney in the coaches comp) soon. 

Snugglebunnies?

Yep, she sure did bruise well!

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Bulletin - PoV - July 28

A day late a dollar short ...

But, here's the news -- Shane won the Power of Veto AGAIN!

A full report will be filed later!

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Into Saturday Morning - July 28

Janelle trying to coach Joe

Well, well, well ... it's been quite the night in the Hamster House. By targeting Janelle's team in his (Shane's) nominations, the lines have been redrawn once again. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of As the Hamster Turns -- like sand through the hourglass, these are the days of their lives:

• With the coaches comp on Fridays and the HoH awaiting the results from that, it doesn't seem like they have time to really prepare for nominations as much as in previous seasons.
• Shane pretty much made the HoH a revolving door quickly talking to each hamster before he was called to make the nominations.
• I swear some got about two minutes tops. 
• He was telling them to state their cases in 30 seconds!
• Not in a mean way, mind you. More in a hurried way.
• Janelle and her BFF Wil really, really want Frank out.
• Shane not so much ... he has his deal with Frank even though last week, had he not won the veto, he (Shane) would have gone home.
• Joe is more antsy than usual as he's not only nominated (and knows he's the likely target), but he's also a Have Not.
• Too bad, so sad, Joe.
• Maybe if he shaved that stupid thing growing on his face, I'd have more sympathy.
• Hmm ... probably not. He's a bit like a Willie Hantz with slightly more education and cooking skills.
• Wil thinks Shane and Frank are working together.
• Y'think?
• Danielle is upset about the nominations. She was expecting to hold power as the swing vote this week as she thought Shane would nominate one each from Boogie's and Janelle's teams.
• Britney and Dan now trust Boogie more than Janelle. They think he's a lot less sneaky than Janelle is.
• They're probably right. I hate to admit it, but I actually like Boogie on the feeds more than Janelle this season.
• Boogie on the live feeds is a lot less egotistical than he is on the actual show.
• The Have Nots have cereal and salmon this week. That's probably the most filling/healthy of the choices that could have been.
• Janelle tried to talk Shane into going against Boogie's team.
• Alas, Boogie's team has been more honest with Britney's team (Shane) than has Janelle's.
• Janelle should have thought of that prior to aligning with Britney in the beginning, then jumping ship, now trying to jump back aboard.
• Danielle was worried that she might be backdoored, but Shane and Britney insist that she's safe. They also told her that Boogie's team will keep her safe next week if they get the power.
• Joe is claiming his anger level and heart rate both went up when he was nominated.
• Good. We need a new decent brouhaha!
• Janelle has huge bruises on the outsides of her thighs from the coaches comp.
• Joe told Shane that he wants Frank gone this week and he won't come after Shane.
• How does it feel to want, Joe?
• Somehow, in the coaches comp, Ian won $3000. I might be getting this wrong, but it sounds like Boogie won money and split it with Ian.
• Good, the college kid probably has bills to pay.
• Ian said his mother told him (when she found out he was going into the house) that she hopes he's the first one out. She probably said that because Ian is so far from worldly and she's worried about him.
• It's like throwing a lamb into slaughter.
• But he's holding his own and I'm cheering him on from here.
• Janelle and Wil think that if Janelle hadn't saved him (Wil), he'd be going home this week.
• They're absolutely right.
• Wil has done little other than clinging to Janelle like some sort of shadow.
• Is the Diary Room telling Janelle stuff?
• Janelle told Wil that there will be a twist with the coaches coming into the game this week as per America's Choice. She also said she and Boogie are fan favorites.
• Hmm.
• Most of the people I've seen who follow the live feeds (including myself) DO NOT WANT THE COACHES IN THE GAME.
• And, many Janelle fans (such as myself) aren't liking her gameplay so much this season.
• I'm on the Britney Train for now ... although that's subject to change.
• Janelle thinks Boogie wants his boy Frank to win.
• I think Boogie is probably leaning more towards his boy Ian -- it's Ian he kept safe, it's Ian he gave the money to. I'm just sayin' ...
• It's Wil's birthday today. Ho-hum.
• The PoV comp will be later today, too.

Danielle upset to not be nominated?

Janelle is WAY bruised up from the comp

Eek!
