Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Into Monday Evening - Aug. 8

The Odd Couple

After two hours or so of inexplicable trivia running on the feeds, I've had it. No, they are not playing a game. They're on an indoor lockdown, not unusual for the day before the HoH comp. In one brief return from the feeds showed them sitting in the same places discussing trivial (not trivia) things. For some reason, BB is blocking huge blocks of time from us tonight. Grr. Here's what's happened in that Big Brother House of Mysterious Feed Blocking:

• Boogie told Britney he thinks that two people will go home next week.
• Dan and Ian both think nothing like that will happen this week due to all of the excitement with the coaches coming in last week.
• All three are probably right.
• Boogie still thinks Danielle's lying about being a kindergarten teacher. He feels she's trying to sell it too hard.
• Boogie and Britney thought perhaps a medical student, but Boogie doesn't think she's smart enough for that.
• Heh.
• Boogie guess nurse.
• Ding, ding! Give that man a prize!
• I personally don't get all the lying in the first place.
• Britney tried to warn Danielle that Shane isn't all that into her, a showmance rarely works out and she'll probably never see him once their BB lives calm down.
• Danielle all of a sudden worried about her love interest at home, Trey.
• It seems like he's not as interested in her as she is in him, too.
• She doesn't know where their relationship stood when she left for the show.
• I sense a pattern here.
• Dan wants to warn Janelle she's going home.
• Boogie doesn't want him to and mentions that the rules prohibit it, too.
• Joe told Shane he's solid with him, Danielle, Britney and Dan.
• As if!
• Joe also told Shane that Ian, Jenn, Wil and Ashley have a strong alliance.
• Oh. Really?
• Too bad Ian is in with Danielle, Shane, Britney and Dan.
• Joe thinks he will eventually win a few HoH comps.
• When? After the season ends?
• Janelle apologized to Frank for saying she hated him. She said that if she goes home tomorrow, she wanted him to know she didn't mean it.
• He accepted the apology.
• Britney's conscience is getting to her. She's tired of lying to Janelle and having second thoughts about the whole thing.
• Okay, the feeds came back. They had their halfway party with pizza and booze.
• Boogie thinks that means that two people will be going home this week, if not tomorrow night, then Sunday.
• I do realize that numbers-wise, they are not at the halfway point.
• But timewise, they are a few weeks off, too. 
• Hmm.
• Apparently Janelle started a food fight and the party got cut short.
• Life goes on.

Big Brother 14: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - Aug. 8

Tonight, tonight ... for those who don't follow the live feeds, there will be surprises tonight. As the show airs here, I'll update this entry with any major news. However, as always, the real fun is in the comments. I hope to see you there!

Ian tries to find a new alliance with Dan, Britney, Shane and Danielle.

PoV Players picks: Danielle -- Shane, Frank -- Jenn, Wil -- Ian. She chose Dan to host the comp.

The PoV comp has them throwing balls up a ramp at a numbered target field. As eliminated, they get to pick a prize, can exchange and take the prizes of others, etc. We know how this works.

Shane out first -- got the veto. That won't last! Wil second out, won a veto ticket to play in next week's comp. He traded and took Shane's veto. Jenn out -- got a Maui vacation. Ian out -- he gets to live a dog's life for 24 hours, living outside in a pen, walked on a leash, etc. He kept it so Jenn could keep her vacation. Frank out, $5,000. He took the PoV from Wil. Danielle won a Spiritard, took the PoV from Frank.

Danielle now has all the power.

America's Vote for the Have Nots: rice cakes and rutabagas, candy canes and cod, onions and oat bran.

Ian solidifies a final five deal with Dan, Shane, Britney and Danielle -- the Quack Pack. 

Boogie brings up the idea of backdooring Janelle to Danielle.

As Boogie is trying to talk Dan into the Janelle plan, Britney and Janelle arrive to talk about the coaches alliances. Boogie refuses to work with Janelle and lose Frank this week. Since they believe Janelle lied, Dan agreed to work with Boogie.

They had an HoH Crew meeting -- Ian, Dan and Danielle were for getting Janelle out, Shane and Britney were neutral. Majority wins. They call in Boogie -- new alliance with Frank added, Ian not -- Silent Six. (Boogie doesn't know Ian is in.)

Danielle saves Wil at the PoV meeting, puts Janelle on the block. Britney put a shocked look on for Janelle.

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Into Wednesday Morning - Aug. 8

More like a fool patch than a soul patch

My apologies for being gone for about 24 hours. Some real life stuff came up, so I've had to flashback and catch up here! Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Whacked Out Willies. Okay, Willie ain't there. But, still ...!

• Britney and Boogie discussed the Joe issues.
• Did you know that Joe asked Janelle how long it would be until her husband fooled around with the nanny?
• How dare he!
• And, of course, Joe is her closest ally right now. With friends like that ...
• Britney and Boogie also complained about Joe never cleaning up his own dishes.
• Boogie has railed on Britney before for never washing any dishes at all.
• Janelle thinks Danielle indicated that she will be staying this week.
• Um, no.
• I realize many blog readers are adamant Janelle fans. But she has been playing differently this season. She's flipping around alliances, betraying friends and generally being a "mean girl." It doesn't really matter that others are mean girls/boys. The point is that Janelle has built a reputation for not playing like that and now she is. Chances are had she played like she played before, she wouldn't be in the predicament she's in right now.
• Ashley is off the Janelle ship (again or still). She keeps catching Janelle in lies she knows are lies.
• OMG ... if stoned gal Ashley is catching the lies, they're bad lies!
• Joe promised his alliance to Danielle in a long talk where he fussed mostly about Wil.
• Wait. Wasn't Joe Janelle's biggest cheerleader?
• No one, even Dense-lle (er, Danielle), believe anything said by Joe.
• Perhaps his fool patch is guiding his destiny.
• Joe told Danielle that Wil was talking about getting rid of her and Dan after she nominated him.
• Well, duh. Not to defend Wil as he's a definite loose goose, if I were nominated, I'd talk about taking down those who nominated me! 
• All think that Joe will be the lone vote to keep Janelle. However, Joe is stating he will vote with the house.
• Yeah, like that's gonna save him next week! @@
• Meanwhile, Janelle seriously thinks she has votes to stay. I bet deep down inside she knows it's not going to happen.
• How dumb is Danielle? (Say after me: "I don't know. How dumb is Danielle?")
• She thinks the "L" is pronounced in "salmon" yet doesn't pronounce the "i" in "halibut."
• Janelle told Shane she didn't want to be blindsided. Shane did NOT say he would vote for her to stay, but instead said he'd like Frank gone.
• It's not the same.
• If she honestly believes she has votes to stay, Janelle will be blindsided tomorrow night.
• :-(
• Danielle got the HoH camera, skipping over taking any Janelle pics until Britney got in with her on a few shots.
• Now, that is mean. But Danielle's kind of off to begin with and Britney had the reputation of being a mean girl the last time around.
• That said, I don't think Britney is actually mean. To be truly a mean girl, you have no conscience. Britney lets herself get bothered, saddened and upset by things going on.
• Of course, that doesn't stop the trashtalking of other.
• But, then again, half of the live feeds each season consists of trashtalking other hamsters for whatever.
• Wil pointed out that Joe was the first one to talk of getting rid of the coaches and now Joe is blaming that on him.
• Danielle is worried about what people outside of the house will think of her for putting Janelle up.
• Actually, that move might be the least of her worries. Danielle should worry about throwing herself all over a protesting Shane and just being clueless.
• Janelle now thinks Wil is responsible for her getting nominated.
• Nope. Wil had absolutely nothing to do with it. It was Boogie and Danielle. Not even Dan and Britney who would have preferred to keep Janelle in the house for now. Danielle and Boogie bear the blame. Entirely.
• Danielle's voice is really getting annoying to me on the feeds. It's not AS bad as was Allison's a few years back, but ...
• Janelle thinks Danielle is easily swayed by men.
• Y'think?
• The latest to get upset with Joe for using up too much food is Jenn.
• Remember Jenn? There is a Jenn in the house.
• Joe, in his efforts to snag his own cooking show, tends to use up mass quantities of meat and fish which should last longer in the house.
• Britney apologized to Ian for letting Boogie know that Joe propositioned him to join the Loser's Alliance with himself, Ashley and Jenn.
• Er, I meant the OUTSIDER'S Alliance.
• How dumb is Danielle? (Say after me: "I don't know. How dumb IS Danielle?")
• Danielle is SO dumb that she doesn't get Britney's point that if she (Danielle) has a blatant showmance with Shane, they'll likely be put on the block together to split them up.
• Shane is still downplaying an actual showmance albeit spending more attention to her mainly because she's HoH.
• He be a user, for sure.
• Joe told Janelle that everybody in the house is sketchy.
• Well, yeah.
• That's where we stand going into the day before eviction. 

Trashtalking Wil and his ways

A Queen and her court jesters?

A delicate operation

Is there any hope?

The facial hair needs to go

NOW he's interested in Danielle's HoH pictures!

Britney is always itching or scratching or picking

Reflective Janelle ... or her shoulder itched

What's been happening in that Big Brother House of It's All a Spool of Lies? Read on ...

• Well, they got a badminton set to take their minds off their troubles.
• After reading her pink bible in her pink shirt, Janelle went to work.
• I don't think it's doing any good.
• Sure, it's a game of lies and deceit, but she's telling stupid lies which have four witnesses saying otherwise.
• She thinks she has Dan and Britney's vote, maybe Shane's.
• She's dreaming.
• It's sad to see her in this position.
• But, even the other coaches said it -- had she played like she did in previous seasons, she wouldn't be in this position.
• Instead, she became a mean girl with foolish lies, jumping atop of whomever had power in the house.
• Although Wil is so happy to be off the block, he and Jenn are getting worried about their place in the game.
• They think they should join forces with Joe and Ian to make an outsiders alliance.
• Little do they know that Ian is NOT an outsider anymore.
• He's trusted by Dan, Britney, Danielle and Shane.
• It's not that Boogie and Frank don't trust him, per se. It's more like they don't trust his judgment and feel superior to him.
• And Ian knows that. 
• He's so happy he's fallen into a group who treat him nice and actually enjoy his company, opinions and more.
• Right now it looks like there's no chance of Janelle surviving this week.
• A shame, a real shame.
• I wish she was like she used to be.
• Me? I'd still love to see Ian take it all! :-)
• How about you? 

Blah-blah-blab-yadda-yadda-yadda-blah

Sis-Boom-Bah!

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Into Monday Afternoon - Aug. 6

On the block

Well, she done did it. The last waffling took hold and now Janelle is on the block. Yipes! Here's what happened so far today in that Big Brother House of Shock and Awe:

• Early in the morning, both Boogie and Frank were uncertain if Danielle would actually go through with the backdoor Janelle plan.
• Frank said he really can't take Danielle, but Boogie claimed she'd be very "gutsy" if she actually uses the veto and puts Janelle on the block.
• Boogie is almost gleeful thinking of the plan working.
• Ugh.
• Danielle actually did a no-no -- she told Wil she was going to take him off the block.
• He, of course, is thrilled.
• He forgives her for putting him up there though promised safety.
• She also told him it was Janelle going up in his place.
• She acted like it was always the plan.
• @@
• Shh ... it's a secret.
• She didn't tell him that anybody else was involved in her plan.
• Then Wil went and told Frank that if he (Wil) was taken off the block, he wouldn't vote to evict him (Frank).
• @@
• The live feeds were blocked for the PoV meeting. When they came back on, Janelle was indeed on the block and Wil was off.
• Danielle told Janelle that she heard she (Janelle) was going to be coming after her.
• Janelle denied all.
• Janelle was shocked.
• Wil was in awe that Danielle actually saved him.
• There's your "Shock and Awe."
• Dan told Danielle he thinks she made the move a bit too soon.
• Danielle told Dan that she told Janelle he had nothing to do with the decision.
• Britney is just playing dumb like she didn't know it was happening.
• She was never really on board with it, but was privy to all of the discussions.
• Boogie has a new found respect for Danielle.
• I wonder why.
• Janelle is upset that she didn't have make-up on for the meeting as she didn't think she'd be going on the block.
• Dan told Janelle that he thought he had talked Danielle out of putting her on the block, but then fell asleep.
• Danielle, to her credit, is taking all of the heat and telling Janelle it was all her doing -- not Dan's.
• Janelle talked to Joe and Wil looking for votes. Both told her they'd vote for her to stay.
• When Wil left, she told Joe he (Wil) was lying.
• Joe said he'd find out and report back.
• Wil and Ashley think that Joe is the only one on Janelle's side.
• What? Ashley has been her BFF ... at times!
• Joe is getting a bit Willie-ish (read: bully) in his behavior again.
• You'd think HE was the one going home!
• Both Britney and Danielle are waiting for Janelle to explode ... or maybe Joe to explode for her.
• Wil told Frank and Jenn that Janelle was worse than ever and he knows where his vote is going.
• Janelle read a pink bible in bed while wearing a pink shirt.
• She did have her make-up on for that.
•  

Pretty in pink

Not pretty in pink ... or any other color

The Zombie Apocalypse is here!
