Big Brother 14: Live HoH Endurance Comp Updates and Screen Caps - Aug. 16

11:29 PM ET -- SHANE WINS THE HOH.

11:22 PM ET -- Standings are (from the views I'm getting): Shane WAY in the lead, Danielle, Dan, Jenn, Ian, Joe, Ashley. Britney took safety, Boogie took money.

Quad view 11:16 pm et - That's Shane's jug

11:10 PM ET - No one is close to Shane

11:05 PM ET -- They're doing shout outs to the live feeders, yo. Shane has a few inches left to go. He's just gliding and think he's only fallen once.


They said it's Crisco on the lanes. But I'd say store brand vegetable shortening ... or lard.

A producer's voice asked for an update, so we get trivia. Grr.

10:50 PM ET -- Mike Boogie won the 10 grand, so he's out. It's going to be Shane's game to win. He's way ahead of the others with his HoH jug.

The fuller jar second down on the left is Shane 10:40 PM ET

10:35 PM ET -- Britney is out with Safety. Boogie is still working on the money. Joe is really struggling as is Ian on the return trips to his bucket. Shane is in the HoH lead, having just filled his jug to the bottom of the HoH insignia on it. Danielle is behind Shane, Ian behind Danielle, Dan behind them, Jenn doing poorly, Ashley still in slow motion.

Ian at 10:22 PM ET

10:21 -- Britney just got Safety filled. She joins Frank on the sidelines. 

Since Frank has a better view to compare than do I, I will trust him. He just said that Danielle is in second, just ahead of Ian.

Shane in the lead at 10:16 PM ET

Shane seems to be in the lead as far as HoH bowl. Britney is working on safety. Boogie is going for the 10 grand.

10:08 PM ET -- Feeds back on

Well, here we are waiting for the live feeds to come back on. Once they do, I'll be posting screen caps and updates.

Big Brother 14: Live Eviction and HoH Show Blog Party - Aug. 16

Hamster watchers ready? I'm definitely more interested in the HoH comp than the eviction tonight. How about you?

As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this entry with the major events. However, the real fun is in the comments area. Hope to see you there!

Recap, campaign ... then Julie mentions tonight's HoH comp will be endurance and we can vote for incentives for them to stop. (Of course, as with endurance comps, I'll set up a post after the show and keep up with updates and screen caps from the live feeds.) Jeff's appearance hasn't happened yet and seems to be of a commentary role.

Heh. Joe's wife and kids commented on his yelling and that thing on his chin.

Yay, Jeff is rooting for my boy Ian! (As opposed to my pool pick boy Shane.)

For the incentives, Twitter poll -- #bbcashprize or #bbhavenot. (I think.) The $10,000 cash prize is winning over the Have Not Pass at this point. Well, duh.

The votes to evict --

Ashley - Joe
Boogie - Wil
Commercial break
Danielle - Wil
Jenn - Joe
Dan - Wil
Britney - Wil
Shane - Wil
Ian - Wil

He WIL be going home.

The temptation "we" chose was $10,000. It's the slip and slide with them filling up a jug. Fill smaller SAFETY jug, you'll be safe. Fill the cash jug, $10,000.

Next week is a double eviction.

I will be setting up a separate post to cover the endurance comp with screen caps and updates. Wait until Sunday? NO WAY!

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Wednesday Night Into Thursday - Aug. 15-16

Wil this be his last day in the house?

It's countdown to eviction time in the house. But, more importantly ... what have those lovable (cough) hamsters been up to? Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Friend or Foe:

• Ian's incredible BB memory took us through a journey of past seasons. As he retold the comps, I remembered. But I could never just sit there and ramble off the stuff like him even though I've been doing write-ups for so many seasons.
• Joe told Frank that if he (Joe) wins HoH, he (Frank) is 100% safe. 
• He also said Ian would be safe. (Yay!)
• Er, not that I'm worried about Joe ever winning a comp, just sayin' ...
• Frank told Joe that he thinks Ian is a great kid, nothing he would have said in the first few weeks.
• Yay. I'm enjoying Ian the most this year. He's different and refreshing, plus he's such a fan of the show.
• Wil told Britney there are two pawns up on the block.
• No, Wil. One pawn, one target and you're the target.
• No, Britney didn't say that. I did.
• A lot of the evening, Jenn and Wil segregated themselves from everyone else.
• Not a great move if you're trying to save your butt in the house!
• Jenn trashtalked Britney a lot to Wil.
• But Wil really tried to convince Britney he'd like to work with her (Britney).
• Not that it will do any good because he'll be leaving tonight.
• Meanwhile, Joe joined in on the card games and discussions with others.
• He also ate a huge gob of mayonnaise.
• BB won't allow the Have Nots to shower in the HoH room anymore. About time as they were taking hot showers up there, not cold.
• Jenn did try to shmooze a bit with Frank and Boogie. She is still way under the radar, but very expendable.
• Frank is a bit worried that if Ian wins HoH, he'll put him (Frank) on the block because of his date with Ashley.
• @@
• If Ian did that, it would have nothing to do with Ashley, I say!
• Wil did campaign for votes, but didn't get commitments.
• Britney, Danielle and Ashley decided they'd Nair Ian's armpits.
• Oh noes! Poor kid! He had a bad reaction to the chemicals and spent the rest of the night in pain.
• It was so bad that the medic saw him.
• He went to bed with ice packs under his armpits.
• Boogie and Dan once again talked about their best chance of winning would be to be together in the final two.
• They said there are people in the house who really "need" the money and that would affect the vote if they were in with any of the newbies.
• Britney and Danielle think Shane needs to go. Oh my, Danielle. They realize he has deals with just about everyone.
• They seriously think tonight will be a double eviction.
• I don't.
• We all know the BB promo machine. If there was a double eviction tonight, they would be hyping it all week.

Will Joe go?

Will Boogie turn on him eventually?

Big Brother 14: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - Aug. 15

ZING! It's just about time for the show to start! Come one, come all ... bring your drinks and snacks, we'll supply the comfy chairs! As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this entry with major happenings. However, the real party is down in the comments area. See you there!

Finally, some action -- PoV Player picks - Frank - Jenn, Joe - HG Choice - Ashley (who's hurting), Wil - Boogie. Heh. Ian will host the comp.

The Zingbot has arrived! Ashley's smile is the only thing about her that's bright. Shane -- Zing's 5 year old niece called, wants pink tank top back. Brit gave her money to the charity, the Brigade. Joe - oldest man of the house, sorry Boogie ... didn't see you there. Ian, chemical engineering student, little chemistry with the ladies. Frank, Orphan Annie would 'preesh if you stopped using her hair. Danielle -- Shane will give you a special gift after the season, a restraining order!

Veto comp time. Stations with pipes, Zingcubator. Bring Baby Zingbot to life, build a pipeline, transfer an orb through it. Frank wins the Power of Veto and Zing Baby comes out.

Wil wants Frank to backdoor Dan and make a big move. He gathers his troops (Ashley and Jenn) to visit Frank. Ian plays the good little spy for the Quack Pack. But Boogie gives Frank the same advice as Ian -- too soon to backdoor Dan.

Veto meeting ...he follows Boogie's advice. He does not use the veto. Wil and Joe are both still on the block.

Jeff Schroeder (of Jeff and Jordan) will appear on Thursday's live show.

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Tuesday Night to Wednesday Afternoon - Aug. 14-15

The big date

It's kind of sad that the biggest news in the last 24 hours has been a juvenile make-out session. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of We Made Out on Camera!:

• Yep, the big Frank/Ashley HoH room date went down.
• They spent most of the time talking game.
• Actually, Ashley kind of threw her buddy Wil under the bus -- told Frank she didn't like what he's been turning into, "the mean gay guy."
• Frank tried telling her that he thinks that Ian was quite upset that she was going on the "date" with him.
• She doesn't think so.
• Since they had to (as Frank said) wait for the cheesecake to harden, they made out.
• Ugh.
• Joe, although told by Boogie that he'll be safe this week, is campaigning for votes ... yet not coming across as desperate as we've seen before.
• Danielle says she's had a terrible week -- she's been "villainized" by the Janelle boot and the Zingbot said mean things to her.
• Poor pitiful Danielle.
• Heh.
• The HoH room fish are dying ... as they do every year. What's up with that?
• I liked the year they had the tarantulas.
• Today is Day 40 in the house. Ian is thrilled to still be there -- he never expected to last so long.
• That said, he should last longer. His name was tossed around in the beginning for eviction and isn't really mentioned in any immediate dream plans of those who would be HoH ... if they could win a comp.
• Wil told Ashley she needs to get Frank out if he (Wil) leaves this week.
• Ashley told Wil that Frank is playing Boogie's game, not his own.
• Lots of exercise, whining about how hot it is, small talk, talk about previous seasons, talk about Have Nots eating soon, etc. 
• Yawn.
• I'll be happy to see a bit of drama with the new HoH and eviction tomorrow night.
• Stop on back at 8:00 PM ET for the blog party while we watch the show!
• And, as always ... if you're so inclined, and you like the BB live feed updates, there is a Paypal donation link on the sidebar. :-)  

Eek! See, Ian ... NOT the girl for you!

Shady!

Shadier!
