Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Overnight Into Friday - Aug. 17

Shane is King of the House once again

Well, the big endurance comp is long over now as I get this written up. So, what's been happening inside that Big Brother House of Well-Greased Hamsters? Read on ...

• Due to the endurance comp, once again there will be no Have Nots this week.
• Of course, we knew that when we weren't asked for our input last night!
• Britney and Dan don't understand why Boogie went for the money.
• I personally hope that Frank realizes that Boogie does NOT have his back since he went for the cash!
• Danielle thinks that Dan is probably mad at her because she did better than he did in the comp.
• @@
• Joe wished that the "real news" Julie gave them during the show had included Romney's VP pick.
• For some reason, that doesn't surprise me.
• Shane told Britney, Ashley and Danielle that they could sleep in the HoH room and he'd sleep downstairs.
• That was nice of him. I have this hot/cold thing about Shane. 
• In an interesting change of pace, Frank knows more about the Mars Lander than does Ian. Huh. Who woulda thunk it?
• They talked about their falls in the comp. Some did look pretty bad. I'm sure they're going to be hurting for a few days.
• When Joe went to the Diary Room, the talk turned to his speech during the show. No one knows what he was getting at.
• It was just weird.
• Ian said his mother told him not to lose his virginity in the house. Heehee!
• The big Shane HoH reveal went down. His letter was from his sister and he was a gracious host to all.
• This is nice. Wait until the power goes to his head in a few days.
• The rest of the house think that if Frank complains he couldn't get safety or the money, they can remind him he was saved by the reset. Ian doesn't think it was fair for Frank.
• None of them think Boogie should have gone for the money.
• Except Boogie himself, of course.
• Joe is irked that Julie cut him off. @@
• They got booze -- two bottles of wine, seven beers.
• Shane told Joe he'll probably put Frank and Boogie on the block.
• That would be nice. We'll have to see if it really happens.
• Joe told Shane that Boogie and Frank had been thinking of nominating him (Shane).
• Dan told Danielle that Ian is going to win the game. He's in the best place of all with no enemies.
• Britney thinks Frank has the best chance to win it all and wants him gone.
• Danielle told Shane that Frank and Boogie need to go up. He agrees, but is concerned about breaking up the Silent Six.
• She's working on him.
• We'll see later today who Shane wants gone. He's saying now that he will be putting them up, doesn't want to waste his HoH.
• Now the Quack Pack is talking in the HoH room. They're pretty much deciding the Silent Six is history -- get them before they get us.

Ian seems no worse for the wear

Danielle thinks that Shane will send Frank home

Booze for all

Quack Pack decides it will be Boogie and Frank nominated

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 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.
