Big Brother 14 : Live Feeds Wednesday Night Into Thursday - Aug. 29-30

Smile now, Carrot. Two weeks ahead, no HoH possibilities

For as much excitement as we've had the past week, it's been a yawn a minute since yesterday. So, I warn you now -- do NOT expect a Pulitzer prize level live feeds report from me this morning! (Although, to liven things up ... there are two Chippendale dudes on the upcoming season of The Amazing Race. Hubba hubba!)

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother house of Dwindling Days:
  • Ian kept apologizing even more for his actions while drunk the night before.
  • BB did NOT give them any alcohol.
  • They have been on an extended inside lockdown while the HoH comp is being built in the yard.
  • Or, perhaps, maybe BB just likes to have 'em trapped like flies on flypaper.
  • Britney kind of wants to try to talk to Shane and Joe.
  • Ian told her it probably wouldn't be worth it.
  • Alas, I think he's right.
  • Ian cried.
  • In a moment of compassion for someone other than himself, Danielle tried to console him.
  • He said he deserved it.
  • After all, Britney is only going right now because Frank couldn't put Ian on the block due to his PoV ball.
  • Ian knows that. He also really seems as non-romantically smitten with Britney as one could be.
  • Unlike Matt in Britney's season, Ian never tried to qualify (or paid) to be in Mensa. He knows he's smart, doesn't need to be a member to prove it.
  • Good for him. I always sneer at Mensa people myself. After the National Honor Society in high school, let college grades and life decisions speak for your intelligence.
  • Smart, unfortunately, doesn't always mean successful or happy. In the long run, it often means little in the game of life. Common sense, on the other hand, is usually better than mere book smarts.
  • Oh my. I'm getting all profound here with the live feeds in the background.
  • But Britney and Ian had a big talk on who's intelligent or not in the house.
  • It's their fault. They led me there.
  • They don't think Joe is particularly intelligent.
  • Y'think?
  • We again suffered all four feeds on sleeping Joe for a while. What's up with that?
  • Even the BB voice is bored. When Britney said, "I like to suck on these" about some nuts she was eating, the BB voice replied, "That's what she said."
  • Huh. The BB voice hasn't been giving house trivia as it has in past seasons.
  • I don't think anyone other than Jenn will truly stick with Frank once the carrot is out of HoH for two weeks.
  • I do think that Jenn, the ultimate floater, is probably going to be honest and true to her word now that she's voiced a side.
  • She probably won't win. It's rare that honest people make it to the end.
  • Ian told Britney that Frank was going "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth and a blond for a blond."
  • Britney is angry that Frank is bullying Ian. She wants to tell him that Ian had to do what's best for him, not what's best for Frank.
  • Ian told Danielle that Frank only put up Britney as a personal attack against him.
  • Danielle told Ian that Dan's treatment of her was just an act.
  • She also told him that she would get Frank out.
  • I won't hold my breath on that one.
  • But if it's a physical endurance tonight, she just might eke out another HoH.
  • Despite what has happened, Britney told Ian that Dan really is a good guy.
  • She thanked all of her fans on the feeds.
  • She said she's going to go crazy with just Ashley as company for a week.
  • Whatever will they have to talk about?
  • They're talking about reviving the Quack Pack -- Joe and Jenn cannot win the game, they say.
  • Danielle also told Shane that the Dan bit was only an act, not the brightest move. Maybe she's a Mensa member.
  • There ya go. 

Again, we spent too much time watching Joe sleep

America's youth in action

Has he got a chance in heck to make it?

Britney is someone I could watch EVERY season in the house

Big Brother 14: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - Aug. 29

BB12 Blogo 3

Hold onto your wigs and keys, hamster watchers! This should be some episode! As the show airs, I'll update this post with the major happenings. So, refresh the page to see the latest.

However, the PARTAY will be in the comments area. Come join us talking about the show!

The veto is Draw Something. The comp earns points with punishments. Frank got eliminated for saying "summer" when Britney didn't know the answer after she buzzed. Jenn burned her clothes. Frank has to wear a carrot suit for a week, bath in avocado once, chum baths for 24 hours. Dan has to spend 24 hours in disco solitary. Danielle got paint splattered on her. Jenn accepted the rest of the game on slop to win veto.

Dan calls a house meeting after he gets out of solitary -- his BB funeral, says nice things about each person, he tells Danielle she's dead to him in the game and she knows what she did.

Dan outs the Quack Pack and everything to Frank, proposes to work with him. Frank needs to have Jenn use the veto on Dan, put Britney up.

Dan tells Danielle he just saved them both.

Veto meeting. Ian doesn't use his won one. Jenn saves Dan. Frank puts Britney on the block.

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Into Wednesday Afternoon - Aug. 29

Britney seriously needs to stop picking at her face!

Until tomorrow night, things are winding down a bit after the intense roller coaster of the past few days. That's good. I'd hate to break out in hives due to the stress. Here's today's happenings from inside that Big Brother House of Capricious Crazies:
  • In his drunken state last night, Ian said he wanted to be on the show since 2001, since before the planes flew into the towers.
  • Okay. He was ten or so. Adults, especially in this area, who went through that really don't refer to 9/11 in such an offhand manner. 
  • But Ian WAS a child when it happened.
  • Jenn got all riled about the comment and blew things way out of proportion.
  • Ian said and did a lot last night when he was very drunk.
  • Oh. Wait. Who supplied him six beers?
  • Jenn?
  • Hmm.
  • Ian apologized again.
  • I hope he learned a lesson about alcohol. Many of us learned lessons about it when we were about his age. Some never learn.
  • Today he's repenting. And apologizing.
  • Yet Frank and Dan seem to want to keep the animosity over his behavior going. 
  • Yep, move that target on over.
  • Britney was also encouraged by others and very drunk last night.
  • But she didn't say much that would come back and bite her.
  • Ian apologized again.
  • Nor is it of any use to target her to take the heat off other targets because they've already told her to wear her pretty dress on Thursday.
  • They? Well, Ian. He told her that Joe and Shane are voting to keep Danielle.
  • I so wish it were Danielle going instead of Britney. Danielle does NOT entertain me.
  • Ian supposedly said something about graduating high school when he was 16 last night. I missed that.
  • But it turns out he didn't anyway.
  • Um. I started college when I was 16. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to do that. You just have to like to learn and have good grades.
  • Except for the Ian dissing, today was quite quiet compared to the past week.
  • Ian apologized again.
  • Britney talked about living in NYC and how she lived very differently from how Wil and Janelle lived in the city. She had little money.
  • She also said New Jersey was the most dangerous place to live.
  • HEY!
  • Danielle's hives are lessening and she says her throat no longer hurts.
  • A shame. I was hoping she'd lose her voice.
  • Dan told her and she believes that Shane is infatuated with her.
  • Oh, just gag me now.
  • Ian apologized again. 

Why must we watch Joe sleep on all four feeds?

Who will he knock off next?

Hopefully a life lesson learned about alcohol

Yes, Jenn is still in the house ... sans eye make-up in excess.

Big Brother 14: Wil's YouTube Parody

I put this on my Facebook page for the show and have to share it here, too. Wil was far from my favorite in the house. But this is fun ...

 

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Tuesday into Early Wednesday - Aug. 28-29

#SleepOftheInnocent / #NoConscience

Grr. Yesterday there were all kinds of live feeds issues. Malware? The live feeds are malware? Well, I suppose if you think of the house and its hamsters on the wider scale of representing humanity ... yep, malware. The utopian world gone awry.

Here's what's been happening inside that Big Brother House of Pernicious Peeps:
  • It's getting way confusing.
  • They're all lying and it's hard to predict who's actually with whom.
  • Dan and Frank are going to be the final two.
  • No, wait ... Joe and Frank will be the final two.
  • Oh no, I'm in error ... It's Frank and Jenn in a final two deal.
  • You see the common denominator there, right?
  • All these deals. It's likely to crash right down on him. 
  • Frank can't work out in is carrot suit. Aw, too bad.
  • Frank thinks Ian needs to be gone before long because many of the later comps are more geared to him -- puzzles and quizzes.
  • Frank thinks that by Dan remaining in the house, he's taken the largest target off himself and put it right on Dan.
  • Joe has perfected the art of cooking slop cookies -- both Jenn and Dan are loving them.
  • Jenn, who's on slop for the remainder of her days in the house, cannot eat the additional foods voted on by the viewers.
  • Britney continued being very vocal about Dan's game strategies. She pointed out that Dan and Frank are working together.
  • Shh ... that was supposed to be a secret!
  • Similar to the nice/evil Dan bit she did Monday, Britney did a hashtag Dan routine.
  • #DanGheesling = #noloyalty and so on.
  • They got the HoH camera and fun was had by all.
  • Or, like the reveal of the HoH room, they tried to make it look like it was all fun and giggles.
  • Joe seems to want to lean towards saving Britney. Hmm. She has Ian. If Joe and Shane would come over to her side ...
  • Both Joe and Shane really seem to be in a quandary. It might not be an automatic Britney evict.
  • Meanwhile, now Danielle is going around talking with a hoarse voice to go with her neck hives.
  • Perhaps she has an allergic reaction to not being the center of attention?
  • Britney threw around Frank's stuff and beat up Big Ted the stuffed bear.
  • She then hugged Ted.
  • She didn't hug Frank.
  • Frank is a bit worried. He had a long talk with Joe and Shane to reinforce that they need to vote Britney out.
  • Danielle is also a bit worried.
  • Shane told Britney he's undecided.
  • Shane told Danielle that he and Joe will tell Britney tonight that they won't be voting for her (Britney) to stay.
  • :-(
  • Shane denied to Danielle that he and Joe made a guys final three deal with Frank.
  • They did.
  • But who can keep track of all of these deals? I need a spreadsheet here!
  • Joe is having knee issues and had to be seen by the doctor. Bursa problems. I guess that can scratch him out of physical comps.
  • Oh, wait. I'm talking JOE. He can't win comps anyway!
  • Shane told Ian he's definitely voting to keep Danielle.
  • Ian told Britney that Joe and Shane will be voting to keep Danielle.
  • :-(
  • BB gave them alcohol.
  • The whole bunch kept encouraging Britney (and Ian to a lesser extent) to drink, chugging the booze down.
  • Britney got drunk. :-(
  • Ian told her that Matt (in her season) called her a succubus.
  • Britney said, "I'm not the succubus. Danielle is."
  • Danielle: "What's a succubus?"
  • Heh.
  • Britney finally almost ran to the bedroom and collapsed under the comforter.
  • Frank and Joe are still up playing games in the yard as I get this posted.
  • It looks like #byebyeBritney on Thursday. 

A future treasured memory

No, Danielle is the succubus
