Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Into Friday Morning - Aug. 10

Joe isn't mixing and mingling

I know a lot of folks were disappointed with the outcome of last night's eviction. However, with the meddling by production yesterday, I would have been more disappointed had the producers "saved" Janelle and didn't let the game run its course as by the hamsters themselves. Each season the producers seem more and more involved in directing what they want to happen. It should be up to the hamsters themselves, no matter the outcome, no matter if a fan favorite gets the boot.

Here's what's been happening inside that Big Brother House of Hamster Harmony (or not):

• When the live feeds returned post-show, all were gathered in the kitchen munching pizza and other stuff.
• That is, except Joe.
• He was alone in one of the bedrooms, probably figuring he's doomed this week.
• The cheese does indeed stand alone.
• Dan told the others about how he calls Julie Chen "Mrs. Chen" and how she admonishes him.
• Britney seemed deflated by all of the action. She said she didn't hear the last song well. She really wanted that HoH.
• The hamsters wondered what BB's edit on Janelle was, whether it showed her lying and personal attacks.
• No, it did not.
• Danielle thinks America hates her.
• Well, perhaps not America on the whole (mainly because only a small percentage of America watches the show). But Janelle fans for sure.
• Britney thinks it's her fault that Frank won -- she shouldn't have put Boogie and Frank together in the comp.
• Frank and Boogie talked about who he (they) should nominate.
• Frank kind of likes the idea of Dan up just to see him sweat like Frank has had to do almost every week.
• Boogie isn't too keen on Danielle/Dan going up as they might need their votes.
• Frank will talk to the Six and see if there's a volunteer ... maybe Shane.
• Of course, without saying (although I'm sayin'), Joe would be on the block with whomever.
• Jenn actually cooked instead of Joe.
• Ashley is worried that after Joe goes they're going to "pick us off one by one."
• Well, duh.
• Britney said Janelle seemed to know she was leaving -- she (Janelle) said goodbye to her and wished her luck before the show.
• Janelle apparently got more money than Britney to be in the show this summer.
• Danielle (numerous times) fussed about whether people think she's a bad person.
• I don't think she's a bad person, per se. An extremely annoying person, yes. An extremely needy person, yes. Bad? Probably not.
• Frank and Big Ted (the bear) got the key for the new HoH room.
• Fun was had by all.
• Except maybe Joe.
• BB gave them booze -- 8 cans of beer and a bottle of wine.
• Joe tried to tell Wil, Ian and Jenn that Janelle told lies about them to get him (Joe) not to trust them.
• He's backpedaling now.
• I think it's going to be way too late.
• Right now, all are asleep.
• It sounds like, listening to Frank and Boogie, that no matter who is with him, it will be Joe out the door this week.
• Huh.
• Maybe he can win the PoV comp to save himself.
• Yeah ... like THAT is gonna happen! 

Farewell Janelle

Big Brother 14: Live Eviction and HoH Comp Show Blog Party - Aug. 9

Well, tonight's the big night. It appears that BB might have tried to mess with the decisions made by the hamsters on the live feeds. I guess we'll see. Now, you need to remember this is just a show. I know it's easy to get really hooked on a player, but (thankfully) it's not OUR lives going on here! ;-)

As the show airs, I'll update this post with major happenings. But the real fun, as always, is in the comments area. Come join us1!

Janelle is going around polling for votes. Everyone is lying to her, saying they'll vote for her to stay.

Ashley and Ian's mothers are in a segment about their "showmance."

The nominees get to plea their case. Frank -- keep it classy. Janelle -- Amazing summer, love all of you ... no hard feelings if you can't.

The live vote to evict --
Boogie -- Janelle
Jenn -- Janelle
Joe -- Frank
Wil -- Janelle
Commercial time.
Ashley -- Janelle
Britney -- Janelle
Shane -- Janelle
Dan -- Janelle
Ian -- Janelle

Eight to one, Janelle is evicted from BB14.

HoH comp at hand. Big Brother Battle of the Bands. Hear short song referring to a comp, must identify the kind of comp.

Jenn out. Joe out. Wil out. Shane out. Ashley out. Dan out. Boogie out. Ian out. Britney out.

Frank is the new HoH.

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Overnight Wednesday into Thursday - Aug. 8-9

Catty

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Loony Losers:

• Now, in addition to Frank and Boogie thinking Thursday might be a double eviction, Ian is thinking along the same lines.
• There are too many people and too few weeks ahead to empty the house at one a week for the halfway party.
• Frank was allowed out of the Spiritard for the party.
• Wil, Frank and Jenn joked about how nasty their goodbye messages are to Janelle.
• Is that really necessary?
• Frank said that Janelle only apologized (for saying she hates him) because she wants to be fan favorite.
• @@
• I personally kind of hope Ian has that honor in the bag.
• Janelle, while pressuring Dan for votes, said she thinks it would be illogical to evict her. She could work against Frank and Boogie.
• Alas, I don't think that's what THEY are thinking, Janey.
• Frank told Dan that he thinks that Wil, Jenn and Ashley are in an alliance.
• No #&$#, Sherlock! At least, unlike Joe coming up with that alliance, Frank left Ian out of it.
• Frank also mentioned putting up Dan or Shane if he or Boogie won HoH.
• Pawn, of course.
• Dan wasn't keen on that idea at all.
• Britney still feels bad about the whole Janelle thing.
• Wil said that Joe is "redneck trash." Not to his face, of course!
• Danielle told stories ... forever ... again and again. 
• Woe is me. I had to keep switching cameras. 
• I don't really care for Danielle's perceived view on things.
• Everyone is being evasive or outright lying to Janelle about the planned vote.
• Diary Room told Britney she/they cannot tell Janelle about the real votes planned.
• Thus, Janelle thinks she has hope.
• But I think she might deep down inside know a blindside is coming.
• Amongst her many stories, Danielle told Dan that she had struggled with anorexia.
• @@ If she did, she shows absolutely no signs of it now. She's always munching on some snack or another.
• Perhaps out of boredom, Wil painted cat faces.
• So, that's it heading into the big eviction day.
• It looks like Janelle is indeed going out either 8-1 or 9-0. 

Yes, Jenn is still there

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.
