Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Into Monday Afternoon - Aug. 21

The PuppetMaster has arrived

Yep, just after I finished posting this morning's report (I'm East Coast), a huge flying American cockroach divebombed Boogie and Frank in the backyard. I'm talking HUGE. I think Boogie might have recruited it for his alliance.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves:

• While it was still night there (morning here!), Danielle climbed atop of Shane in bed and molested him.
• Ew. 
• He did NOT encourage her.
• Ew.
• Shane told Danielle she had no self control.
• Apparently no dignity, either.
• Bitter Boogie Boy told Frank that if he goes out Thursday, he's going to go have sex with Dan's wife.
• He didn't put it quite so nicely, but I try to keep a PG-rated blog going here.
• He also said that he'd tell Joe he couldn't cook and that he blew his chance at a show because he (Boogie) owned 17 restaurants in the past 11 years.
• Um. How many of them does he currently own? How many went out of business? Inquiring minds want to know!
• Frank and Boogie think they have the votes for Boogie to stay: Frank, Ian, Ashley, and ... and ... oh noes, they need one more!
• Joe! They need Joe's vote!
• So they worked on him on and off and many times today.
• It's kind of like a Vulcan Mind Meld, but they didn't touch him.
• "Here, drink this Kool-Aid, Joe. All of your problems will be solved. You wouldn't be the low man on the totem pole with OUR Kool-Aid alliance!"
• Oh. They don't know they don't have Ian's vote either.
• Oh. And probably not Ashley's. That one is a bit hazy. She's promised both Boogie and Jenn votes and it's hard to tell what her muddled mind will do. She might vote to evict Benji for all I know.
• But he will have his bromance boy Frank voting for him to stay! You can take that to the bank, Boogie!
• Oh. And he doesn't have Joe's vote, either.
• Oops. Too bad, so sad!
• Joe, of course, ran right to Dan and Shane with Boogie's tales.
• Boogie keeps talking about wanting to punch Dan. He blames all of this on Dan.
• Wait until he sees the tapes and his boy Ian. 
• I think even the Boogie will have to say, "Well done."
• Boogie also keeps saying how much he hates all the people, the losers in the house.
• When Boogie told Joe they for sure had Ian's vote, Joe went to Ian.
• Ian is still playing Secret Squirrel and told Joe of course he's voting for Boogie to stay. Boogie all the way!
• Joe is freaking within. He's popping Advil like crazy. I don't think he deals with the stress well. He had a panic attack and claims his blood pressure is acting up.
• Dan is more like Cool Hand Luke. I forgot how good he actually is.
• Boogie told Frank it would be the ultimate betrayal if Ian went to the other side.
• Heehee.
• Joe promised Jenn he will not vote her out. So did Dan. 
• Well, duh on the Dan vote. Did she actually think he'd want Boogie to stay?
• Britney is upset that Boogie is so angry at everyone and the world in general.
• Well, he's a poor sport. He's the Boogie. He should be King of his Hamsters.
• Joe doesn't think he'll last the night without telling Boogie where his vote really is (Boogie out).
• Uh-oh.
• As a personal bit, I want to thank those who have given a donation this year. It's very appreciated and even makes the lack of sleep a bit easier to handle. Thank you! 

Ew! Ew! Danielle molesting Shane! Ew!

Desperation in digital

Why is she even worried that he'd vote for Boogie to stay?

What a tangled web we weave ...

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Monday Night Into Tuesday - Aug. 20-21

Duh. I don't know how to play the game.

 Another night of tension in the house. But, hey ... they knew the job was dangerous when they took it, Fred. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Allies and Enemies:

• The HoH crew talked about how Jenn has done absolutely nothing in the game so far.
• Meanwhile, Jenn kept fussing about the huge target on her back.
• Wait ... it suddenly dawned on her that she was the PAWN up with Boogie.
• Why didn't anyone tell her?
• Sheesh. She hasn't won anything, has basically been invisible, is put up on the block with the Boogie Boy with the bad reputation and previous winner (thanks to Dr. Will). Did they HAVE to tell her that she's not the target?
• Jenn still believes that Britney knew nothing of the renom beforehand.
• Okay, she's as gullible at Shane and Danielle.
• Jenn also complained that the HoH crew was celebrating with their new ally Joe because Joe was making cookies.
• @@
• I think Joe often bakes and cooks rather than get involved with the interpersonal stuff. He may realize that his interactions with others aren't as winning as cookies.
• Huh. I forgot that Jenn is one of the "older" hamsters this year. She's 37.
• In contrast, Britney will be 25 on Thursday.
• Joe is still running to the HoH crew reporting on everything he sees.
• That's a bit different than how Ian is doing it. Ian reports when asked or for important game matters.
• Joe runs to them about Frank and Ashley being close.
• Boogie and Frank think they only need Joe's vote to turn it around to a Boogie stay situation.
• They're wrong.
• They don't have Ian.
• They think they do even though they're fussing about Ian being so friendly with Dan.
• Jenn is still all bent out of shape about being put on the block.
• I guess she thought invisible stays until the end. Perhaps she thought Adam Poch was the ultimate BB hamster. @@
• Frank keeps trying to pep talk Boogie.
• Boogie knows that there's probably no chance in heck he's going to stay.
• Frank thinks that if Boogie just lightens himself and becomes the "fun Boogie" again, it will help.
• No, it won't.
• Ashley told Frank that Boogie has given up and Joe went to the other side.
• Well, duh.
• Ian told Ashley that he would vote for Boogie to stay no matter what.
• I think he's just telling her what she wants to hear.
• He's still playing the double agent boy.
• Ian reported his talk with Ashley to Britney.
• Ian thinks Ashley is sticking like glue to him so he won't be able to talk to the others.
• Meanwhile, Frank and Boogie are impressed that Ashley has come over to the Dark Side.
• Maybe the thought of the kiss ...
• Boogie keeps hatin' on Dan and Danielle even, Shane not as much.
• Go figure.
• He wants to expose Danielle as a nurse.
• That was a stupid lie and most already realize she's not a kindergarten teacher anyway.
• Boogie and Frank still think they have a chance with Joe even though he called them out as bullies.
• Now, I think they'd have a chance with Joe if they were HoH crew.
• That's the way Joe rolls.
• We have another two days of this, folks! 

I do know how to play the game.

I know how to play the game even better.

I know how to cook for y'all

But .. but ... I'm BOOGIE!

Big Brother 24: Live Feeds Monday Daytime - Aug. 20

Seeking the bully within

At least they had the Power of Veto meeting early so that the hamsters can react even longer! Here's the day's events from inside that Big Brother House of Bitter Bully Boogies:

• Boogie started off first thing in the morning telling Joe what a smooth operator Dan is and how Shane needs to put him on the block.
• Joe told Boogie that Shane wouldn't tell him who's going up in place of Frank.
• Boogie went to the HoH room and told Shane that Dan is a coward and playing them all.
• (Well, yeah. He's playing them all. That's actually a wise way to play the game and Dan knows it. But, coward? Nah.)
• Boogie is actually indeed right about Dan's approach to the game -- friend to all, let others do the dirty work, etc.
• But he's already told Shane all of this ... no need to bat him over the head with it again and again.
• Frank tried again at Shane just before the PoV ceremony.
• The ceremony (blocked to the feeds) went down.
• Frank took himself off the block (duh!) and Shane put Jenn in his place.
• So it's Jenn and Boogie on the block.
• Oh my gosh, you'd think that Jenn is too self-important to not realize Boogie is ALWAYS the target.
• She's invisible.
• Why doesn't she know that?
• Yeah, Jenn is still in the house.
• She's all upset about being put on the block knowing that if she's there with Boogie, he'll go home!
• Britney, covering her bases, told Jenn she had no idea who Shane was going to put up.
• Jenn believes her.
• Jenn is blaming her nomination on Dan.
• Um. Okay. Boogie has got himself a full Dan Haters Not So Anonymous Movement going.
• She started shooting Dan evil looks with an evil eye and singing "you look so pretty digging your grave" to him.
• Oh my.
• One would think that the Invisible Girl is a target, eh?
• Ashley told Britney she wouldn't vote Jenn out.
• Remember, they have that girl thing going on.
• When Jenn confronted Shane, he said that she was telling information to Boogie and was the closest (other than bromance boy Frank) to him.
• So they're on indoor lockdown.
• Dan is on a couch reading the bible.
• Frank, Boogie and Jenn are talking about him as if he wasn't there.
• Tag-teaming.
• Dan kept his cool, not even looking up from the bible.
• Finally Joe called them out as bullies.
• No, they weren't beating Dan up physically, but they were doing their best to get him mentally.
• "Just chatting," Boogie said.
• Yeah, right.
• Later Dan encouraged Joe to go after them and challenge them like that again if needed.
• Jenn said that Danielle should have warned her.
• Danielle cried.
• Joe still has no clue about Ian's role or the Quack Pack.
• So he trashtalked Ian about trashtalking Shane to Boogie.
• Joe told Shane that they need to get rid of the floaters after this.
• Um ... goodbye, Joe?
• They are pretty sure it will be a double eviction week although they weren't thinking that way yesterday.
• Frank told Britney that he'd like to work with her after Thursday.
• Well, he'd probably like to work with anybody, I'm sure!
• Joe seriously thinks he's in an alliance with Dan, Britney, Shane and Danielle.
• He's a vote. Yep. In? Nah, not really.
• Frank is really pulling Ashley's ear. It's hard to tell if she believes him or not. She should notice that all of his scenarios about the end of the game don't include her.
• Meanwhile, Dan is getting folks to decide who to vote for in a second eviction if one should happen on Thursday.
• Oh my. What a stressful house. I'm glad I don't live there!

And Danielle cried

Dan ignores the tag-team bully approach

Jenn claims she'll go "kamikaze"

Ian in the Memphis hat

Big Brother 14: PoV Meeting Bulletin - Aug.20

As expected, Frank saved himself and Shane put Jenn on the block with Boogie.

Target Boogie.

A full report on the day will be posted later tonight.

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Into Monday Wee Hours - Aug. 18-20

Gals in a hammock

At least this season, I don't have to watch Adam standing around all the time. True, I have to listen to Danielle and Joe (both of whom are annoying), but enduring Adam was worse last year. So ... what's been happening inside that Big Brother House of As the Hamster Turns? Read on ...

• Ashley and Frank really think that Dan needs to go next.
• After she talked to Shane, Ashley is confident that the replacement nominee will be Joe, Ian or Dan.
• Buzzzz ... wrong!
• Joe thinks he has it wrapped up with his latest "news" he's heard within the house -- Ian betrayed his own team!
• Yep, it was IAN who mentioned cheating immediately after veto to Dan, etc. thus throwing Boogie and Frank under the bus.
• Well, that's quite the revelation, eh?
• Of course, it doesn't really matter now so much that Ian isn't "with" Boogie and Frank.
• And, if Joe wants to use it as Ian can't be trusted, telling the Quack Pack isn't going to mean anything.
• The Quack Pack minus double agent Ian, think that Ashley has a thing for Frank and can't be trusted.
• They think Jenn is more honest, but they still think that she would be the better one to put on the block with Boogie.
• Jenn is more honest because she "said mean things about Dan."
• The Quack Pack is trying to decide what Shane should say when he nominates her in Frank's place.
• Ian earlier pointed out that all of that team is in color on the Memory Wall.
• Ian hurt his ankle playing badminton.
• Poor kid.
• Boogie is more resigned to the fact he'll be going home.
• Poor Boogie.
• Not.
• Ian thinks they'll wait until next week for the double eviction so that one person isn't sent to the jury alone.
• We know he's wrong.
• With the numbers this week, Boogie should go home. Whoever is the second boot on Thursday should be the first member of the jury.
• If I were in that house, I'd relish a week alone.
• Wouldn't you?
• Sheesh, they just mention "Dairy Queen" and we get fishes.
• That's one of the code words for Diary Room.
• Well, as I close ... although they definitely think Ashley is more sketchy and shady, Jenn should be the replacement nominee. 

Being Frank to all

Hang down your head, Boogie Malin, hang down your head and cry

Britney is safe, but what about the second boot?

Dan is steady at his game
