Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Monday Evening into Tuesday - Aug. 28

What a tangled web we weave ...

As sand through the hourglass, these are the days of their lives. My gosh, better them than me. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of the Emotionally Damaged:

• Ian told Danielle that she won't have his vote to stay.
• Well, duh. She knew that. She told him she's okay with it.
• Dan told Frank that he needs to make sure he has the votes for Britney to go -- it's not necessarily a done deed.
• He thinks Joe will vote what Frank wants, but feel he might be a wild card.
• Oh, he's a card alright ...
• Frank is sure he has both Joe and Jenn "in his pocket."
• Hmm.
• Britney, in between her Dan attacks (most of which were actually funny), told Frank he was duped.
• Frank hates being duped.
• Ian and Frank made two separate references about keeping up the act that they hate each other.
• Hmm.
• Britney actually heard it one time.
• Dan and Britney had a long talk. She apologized for the hateful things she's been saying in anger, told him it was okay, he made a move to save himself.
• Britney says she has a cute dress she wants to wear if she's going to be voted out on Thursday. She didn't get to wear it on her birthday last Thursday.
• Joe told Britney that Jerry was right when he called Dan "Judas" in his season.
• Well, yeah.
• Joe told Ian he'd really like Britney to stay.
• Ian and Joe know they'd have to talk Shane into it.
• Hmm ... while Shane and Danielle do have a quasi-"thing" going on, that's more her than him.
• But Shane did pinky-swear with her for a final two.
• We all know the importance of the pinky-swear in the BB house and the weight it carries.
• Then again, he has loyalties to Britney, too.
• And she's nowhere near as high maintenance and needy as Danielle.
• Speaking of which, at one point during the evening Danielle claimed she wasn't needy.
• Britney, in the event she goes, reminded Danielle that Ian doesn't really want her (Danielle) out. He just wants Britney to stay and there's a difference.
• Danielle fussed more about the hives on her neck.
• After all, she can't let Britney get all the attention!
• After drinking five beers, Ian went into severe rocking, making noises and mumbling to himself mode.
• It looks like his mind is going a mile a minute trying to piece everything together and plan when he does that.
• Shane misses his dog (at home). Danielle doesn't fill that void.
• Jenn and Ian were the last up, not really talking to each other.
• Jenn looked lost in thought while Ian did his Ian thing.
• I personally would crack if I were in the house. I'd be pushing the panic button.
• But that's just me. 

Can this carrot be stopped?

Hey, Rocky! Watch me pull a rabbit out of this hat!

Split ends, split alliances

Pretty, I'm so pretty.

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Monday Daytime - Aug. 27

Aw, I hate to see Britney sad

I can't say I'm thrilled at how all of it went down. But, I'll admit ... it's what makes watching the live feeds all worthwhile. Not a once last season did we have live feeds as interesting and addicting as they have been for the past week. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Devious Dan:

• It's no secret that I really enjoy Britney in the game and had hoped she'd make it to the end.
• But, in the end, it's a game. I'm not personally involved. It really doesn't matter to me who wins or loses. It's not like I'm in the running for the half million.
• What Dan did was underhanded.
• But that's how to play the game. It was a shrewd move for him and it saved him this week, if not longer.
• Okay ... to the news of the day ...
• Dan got up early for the first time this season. He sat outside and addressed the live feed watchers.
• He told us why he did what he did and how he was worried that Jenn wouldn't take him down with her veto.
• He said if it didn't work, he'd accept the fact that he'd be walking out the door on Thursday.
• He really wants to WIN the game (again).
• He also said he'd remain true to Jenn, Frank and Shane.
• I reserve judgment on that. He'll do what's best for himself.
• Nothing much happened once the others woke up.
• Oh.
• Except that Danielle thinks she has shingles.
• She's got something, for sure. It's not shingles, though. I've had them. They concentrate along the nerves generally on one half of the body or around the eyes. She has what looks like hives on both sides of her neck. The "I'm not a doctor, don't even play one on TV" in me says that it's probably hives from being so super stressed yesterday. Either that or she ate something to which she's slightly allergic.
• Later Shane and Britney also thought it was stress related or she might have an allergy to the paint used in the veto comp.
• As an afterthought, Dan told Frank about the Headhunter Alliance with Joe, saying he wanted full disclosure.
• As expected, Frank wasn't overly surprised.
• Joe always floated back and forth to the power.
• Then the PoV meeting came down, blocked to the feeds.
• It went down. Dan's Kool-Aid worked. Jenn saved Dan and Frank put Britney in his place.
• Wah.
• After the meeting, Ian tried to suck up to Frank (not knowing Dan outed his Secret Squirrel doings) and tell him he'd work with him until the end.
• It turned into a screaming match.
• Oh well. Ian got a bit too big for his britches there.
• Frank had given Shane a heads up before the meeting as to what would happen.
• After his fight with Frank, Ian grabbed all of his own HoH beers out of the HoH refrigerator.
• And proceeded to start drinking early.
• Frank told Britney she's the target.
• Britney has cried on and off since the meeting.
• :-(
• Danielle has cried and she's not the target.
• But, it is all about her. It always is.
• Ian continued to lie to Frank about being Secret Squirrel which made Frank angrier with him.
• Ian kept saying he had panicked with everybody pulling him in different directions.
• He'd be better to 'fess up.
• Joe told Shane that Frank told him that Ian was the rat.
• So now Joe knows that the Headhunters was just a silly thing.
• At times, Britney seems at peace with going home.
• She told Jenn that Dan told her he felt most comfortable in the house when he's hated.
• He actually said that to us live feeders just this morning, too.
• Britney is outing all of Dan's gameplay, but not blaming Frank or Jenn.
• She says it's just a game.
• But Dan will not get her vote if he makes it to the end.
• She did a bit which I SO hope makes the show ... it had me in giggles. She put on a "nice" voice being Dan, then turned into the wicked witch as Dan changed persona --
• "Thanks Britney for cleaning the Have Not room for me" - Nice Dan
• "Tomorrow I kill you." - Evil Dan
• She gave a good ten examples and I was sitting here giggling. She has such a quick wit. I'm going to miss that in the house.
• Frank, like Ian, has been early drinking.
• Both are a bit buzzed.
• Frank actually went after Britney to get back at Ian. He couldn't go for Ian as he had the veto ball.
• The other outright humorous moment today was the BB piped through the house/yard voice that tells them to go to the Diary Room, get new batteries for their mics, etc.
• This was a new one -- "Ian, are you wearing someone ELSE'S microphone?"
• Um. I guess they're labeled? 

Dan explained everything to the feeders this morning

Then she turned a bad situation into comedy gold

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Power of Veto Meeting Results - Aug. 27

As expected, Ian did not use his veto. As expected (see recent reports), Jenn saved Dan with hers and Frank put Britney up in his place.

Dan is definitely the Man with a Plan.

A full report on the day will be posted later this evening,

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Report Sunday Night into Monday - Aug. 26-27

Danielle cries some more

What a night! If you haven't read what came down in the evening, first read this, then read this. Then come right back here and read THIS! So ... what's been happening inside that Big Brother House of Dan Dan the Man with a Plan? Read on.

• Of course, like anything in this house, this latest is subject to change.
• After talking to Frank, Dan went back to Danielle and explained things blow by blow as per his Frank talk.
• He told her he had to say be mean for full effect earlier.
• He admitted to her that he ratted out Ian and threw Britney under the bus to further their game.
• He didn't tell her that he really doesn't trust her like he trusted Memphis.
• He told Frank that, though.
• Ian, Jenn and Joe meanwhile were hating on Dan for what he said to Danielle.
• Oh! I forgot ... when I talked about what he said to her, I didn't mention what he said to Shane.
• He told Shane he'd find a nice girl in Vermont.
• Heh.
• That was yet another part of Danielle's freaking out.
• After Dan left HoH and went to talk to Danielle, the army (Jenn, Joe, Ian) all went to HoH.
• Frank lied to them about his meeting with Dan.
• Frank had bought everything Dan was selling, hook, line and sinker.
• Dan and Danielle are going to go with the story that he apologized to her (citing his mental stress from solitary), but she's still mad at him and the relationship is forever damaged.
• She bought everything Dan is saying -- hook, line and sinker.
• Especially the sinker, I think!
• Frank talked to Jenn alone, telling her Dan's proposal.
• No, Dan didn't ask him to marry him. He just wants him to drink the Kool-Aid.
• And, isn't that beverage mighty tasty?
• Jenn agreed to use the veto to save Dan.
• Then Frank will put Britney up and they will vote her out.
• Next should be Ian.
• My two favorites gone before I wanted ... but I've had a sip of Dan's Kool-Aid myself.
• It's why he's a master.
• And, if he pulls this off and gets to the final two, I daresay he can sit up there with Dr. Will.
• Joe ... remember Joe? ... was all upset when Dan was in his big talk with Frank. He was worried that Dan was outing him and the Headhunters.
• Bwahahaha! Like that was any kind of alliance! Dan never even brought that up! It was the QUACK PACK and Ian that was the big rat out to Frank!
• Britney, not invited to sip Dan's Kool-Aid, is feeling all kinds of sorry for him and his apparent mental breakdown.
• Sigh ... little does she know.
• The PoV meeting should be later today. Ian won't use his golden veto ball, Jenn should save Dan.
• Then Frank will put Britney on the block and she'll be the target.
• Sigh. I have been enjoying Britney this season.
• But it is great gameplay on Dan's part. 

Dan, the man with a plan, might have saved himself

Yes, Jenn is still in the house

Secret Squirrel has been outed and he doesn't know it

Jenn will use the veto to save Dan

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Special Bulletin: Dan's Funeral at the Game - Aug. 26

What did I do?

Now we know Dan's Plan. He asked for a house meeting after they ate dinner. He said it was his funeral as a gameplayer and that he just wanted to enjoy his last few days in the house. He said he wouldn't have time to address everyone Thursday, so wants to do it tonight.

Oh my.

He went through each houseguest, saying great things about them. He saved Danielle for last. Everyone was teary. Danielle looked with anticipation ...

He said he was looking for someone to have his back like Memphis. She's no Memphis. She's dead to him in the game.

Oh my.

He told Frank he wanted to discuss something privately with him. Danielle is a quivering crying fool right now. Jenn thinks Dan planned it all to hurt Danielle's game.

In the HoH room, Dan is explaining that Ian was in with them. He told him how tight Ian and Britney are. He's obviously working on Frank to get Danielle out and stay. Then get Ian out. If he can turn Frank his way ... which might be possible now that he knows the Ian connection and he might just stay. Apparently what she did was throw the veto comp.

He's telling Frank they would make a good final two.

Hey, Dan may still have the magic in him.

Eek! Now their plan is to have Jenn use the veto, get Britney out and for Dan to explain/apologize to Danielle.

NOOOO!!! Get Danielle out, I beg of you!

Now Dan is telling Danielle it was all a scheme to get them both (Danielle and him) to the finals.
