Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Friday Evening Into Saturday Dawn - Aug. 31-Sep. 1

It's just a jump to the left, then a step to the right

Let's do the Time Warp again! Or is it just another case of deja vu all over again? Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Psychological Studies:

• Yep, Frank is on the block once again. This time with Jenn. That was totally expected as per discussions and the revival of the Quack Pack yesterday.
• They've been on indoor lockdown FOREVER.
• Well, pretty much since they got the hammock yesterday.
• A PoV comp was expected last night.
• It never came.
• But, as a result, they all napped for some hours before the BBAD feed went live.
• They aren't allowed to sleep through that.
• Frank is reading a lot into the fact that Dan's key was last to be drawn in nominations.
• Not much to read into that. 
• When the PoV comp eventually comes to fruition, everyone is playing except Shane.
• Danielle thinks double eviction episodes are two hour shows. 
• She's obviously wrong.
• They do think another double eviction is looming, but they don't seem to feel it's this week.
• Heh.
• They are not happy with all of Jessie's healthy foods and no good junk food.
• Danielle moaned about the foods, but Joe said he can work with it and make some good stuff. Oh noes, salsa but no chips!
• BB finally told them there's no comp last night.
• Sure ... after they all had taken huge power naps!
• Jenn supervised as Danielle tried to teach Joe how to do a dance. 
• He's bad. Very bad.
• Shane joined in so it looked like good old line dancing, but Joe couldn't catch on.
• Meanwhile, Dan and Ian were having a long talk not about the game in the HoH room.
• They were discussing Ian's stimming (repetitive movements, rocking, etc.) and other OCD symptoms we've seen on the feeds.
• Ian told Dan it's ADHD, an attention disorder. He keeps moving no matter what ... even if it's just tapping his foot.
• He refuses to be on the medication they want him to take for it.
• He denies it's any form of autism although the physical symptoms he exhibits are identical to many who have autism.
• His parents knew when he was two years old. He realized he was different when he was six.
• Dan asked him if BB knew when they took him on. We got the fish cam.
• But Ian did say they obviously know now and haven't said anything to him.
• He said it's a real struggle to control the need to constantly move.
• Even when he's controlling it in social situations, he will still be moving something, but not blatantly rocking.
• Ian also told Dan he got $1000 from the Pandora's Box yesterday, but not to say anything.
• Ian hopes people like him. He thinks because he was aligned with Britney and they could hear the cheering for her from the audience inside the house, they might like him.
• I like Ian. 
• He really shouldn't drink to excess, though. But that tends to go for them all.
• Ian thinks that Frank picked up on him working with the Quack Pack when Dan yelled "I'll rat you out" at the veto ball comp.
• Dan asked Ian what the "mist" around him that Britney kept talking about was.
• Ian told him it's what gets him out of trouble in the worst situations and makes people do what he wants.
• Dan asked him again about becoming a Renegade with him.
• Ian didn't really give him a definitive answer.
• After all went to bed, Ian sat in his HoH room bed muttering, "It doesn't make sense."
• Hmm ...

Ian discusses his ADHD with Dan

She's just Jenn(city) from the block

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Friday Daytime - Pandora's Box - Aug. 31

He bought time, but how much time?

While the nominations won't be until later tonight, there's been some action in the house today. No, I'm not talking about Danielle jumping on Shane. (After all, he is so infatuated with her.) Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Healthy Living:

• Ian thinks Frank's social game is garbage. He says there's a reason he's on the block every week when he's not HoH. It's the way he treats people.
• The Quack Pack (minus Britney, of course) agreed that the nominations should be Frank and Jenn with Joe going up as a replacement if veto is used.
• Huh?
• I guess they do have two weeks to get rid of Frank. But about the only way they're going to do it is with a backdoor. If he has the chance to save himself, he will.
• Well, at least a floater will go home.
• Shane said Frank thinks he's already won the game.
• @@
• "The Quack Pack is back."
• Um. Okay. 
• Joe knows that he'll go up as a replacement if needed. But he's been assured that they have the votes to save him.
• Joe still needs to hula hoop at the sound of horns.
• Then there was trivia. Say what? If the feeds are briefly blocked, they have a fish cam. With trivia, it's usually a comp or something along the lines.
• Oh, geez ... Allison Grodner (Executive Producer), I do NOT want to see Jessie.
• I don't.
• I really don't.
• Dang it, he was in the Pandora's Box today ... again.
• Now, it was kind of funny last year seeing him annoy Rachel. But that's mostly because I liked to see things annoy Rachel.
• Ian got all kinds of "Christmas gifts" including a luxury hammock and blow up toys for the pool.
• Ian likes to almost live in the water, so blow-up toys are fitting.
• He did NOT get a blow-up doll for the HoH room. :X
• Danielle blew up a lot of the toys.
• She's good at that.
• Oh, I'm being terrible, aren't I?
• Jessie wasn't in the Pandora's Box, per se. However, he was in the house.
• He threw out all of their snack foods, replacing them with healthy foods.
• He threw out all their saved beer.
• Heh.
• BB also took their grill away. Or maybe Jessie carried it out on his back. I don't know.
• Jenn tried to use her mojo on Ian to keep off the block.
• He told her that he didn't like to keep floaters who don't make big moves in the game.
• Her "big move" last week was actually a Frank move.
• Joe told Ian that Britney wanted them to work together. 
• He really doesn't want to be a replacement nominee.
• Frank is suspicious of Dan.
• Well, geez ... he's DAN, the Man with a Plan!
• He wonders if Dan has a deal with Ian and finds it strange that there's nothing being said about Dan going on the block -- the names coming up seem to be Frank and Jenn.
• Heh.
• Nominations will be later today.
• I predict Jenn and Frank. Wouldn't be my choices, but ...!

No longer a carrot, now wearing a Boogie shirt. @@

Most congenial houseguest

Danielle is full of wind

New hammock ... wait, won't anyone sit with me?

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Post-Competition - Aug. 30-31

The smiles are fewer and far between

Well, well, well ... Ian won Head of Household. If you missed the competition action, check out the comp updates post. It was a shock to me that Shane lasted as long as he did. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Hula Hoop Hamster:

• As I mentioned in the update post, the punishment Joe received for falling first is that he has to hula hoop every time he hears military music.
• Maybe he'll be able to hula hoop by the time the punishment ends.
• Ian and Shane can do it.
• Joe? Not so much. BB yelled at him for hitting himself in the head with the hoop.
• Shane told Dan that he included him in the safety deal he made with Ian.
• No, he didn't. Shane ONLY asked for safety for himself and Danielle.
• Danielle bashed the now gone Britney. Some friend she is, eh?
• The big HoH reveal went down.
• Gee, I feel in with the In Crowd. Danielle didn't know the music group on Ian's CD.
• I know them -- the Arctic Monkeys. They've been on Letterman a few times and I'm a Letterman addict.
• I can't believe BB actually still finds a CD Walkman to use for the HoH winners.
• He's the only HoH to receive an element in his goodies basket -- bismuth.
• I'm shocked I know how to spell bismuth.
• Ian was gracious and generous with his goodies.
• He also told people they were free to go as "this is the most boring thing ever."
• BB gave everyone beer (although Ian got some in his basket).
• Frank is worried that he'll be nominated as a carrot.
• He probably will. The week is up tonight, most likely at midnight he can take it off.
• Danielle went on about how her face hurt and she was worried about the paint/tan used in the comp. 
• She also threw up twice.
• It's all about Danielle.
• Ian told Joe he's safe from the nominations.
• BB told him he's not allowed to discuss his nominations.
• Ian says he's not going to drink beer for the rest of the season with the exception of his HoH beer.
• Maybe he did learn a lesson.
• Frank tried to worm into working with Ian.
• I don't think so, Carrot Boy!
• Ian doesn't commit to any promises.
• Frank talked about being nominated in front of Danielle and Dan. He mentioned that Danielle and Shane are safe and that Joe told him Ian said he was safe tonight.
• Ian later told Dan he made the safety deal with Shane for Shane and Danielle only ... no Dan in there!
• So now Dan knows Shane lied to him.
• Perhaps he should have hung in there and tried harder to win?
• Dan also all of a sudden wants to work with Ian.
• @@
• Ian, don't drink that Kool-Aid!
• When asked to revive the Renegades, Ian only committed to the Quack Pack being safe. He'll commit (or not) to the Renegades by the end of the week.
• Hmm ... sounds like he's going to go for Frank or Jenn, doesn't it?
• That's it for now! 

Joe's punishment. He shouldn't quit his day job.

In his HoH goodies, Ian got bismuth

Gee, where's Shane who saved her?

Big Brother 14: HoH Endurance Comp Live Feeds Updates Post - Aug. 30

The new HOH -- "This one's for Brit!"

11:48 PM ET -- IAN IS THE NEW HOH!!! -- Quick added note: Joe's punishment for being down first is that he has to hula hoop every time he hears music (24 hours, I assume).

11:47 PM ET -- Shane asks the onlookers to leave them alone. Deal time! Shane gets safety for himself and Danielle - no nominations, no backdoors. He agrees to drop. Ian will win.

11:45 PM ET -- Shane and Ian still in it to win it.

11:30 PM ET -- Shane/Ian still at it. The feeds keep getting blocked due to some sort of mechanical issues with the comp machinery.

11:24 PM ET -- Shane and Ian still in it.

11:17 PM ET -- Extended fish cam, feeds blocked.

11:10 PM ET -- Still Shane and Ian hanging in.

11:00 PM ET -- Still just Shane and Ian remaining in the comp.

The Peanut Gallery -- Ian and Shane still in the comp - 10:48 PM ET

10:42 PM ET -- Only Ian and Shane remain

10:38 PM ET -- Just Ian and Shane spinning around. Ian said it was going 37 seconds per revolution. Now it's speeding up again. Now we have trivia again.

10:34 PM ET -- The feeds came back and DAN is on the ground!

10:33 PM ET  - Danielle promptly vomited after she fell. We went to trivia on the feeds as we do every time someone comes down. Don't ask me why. Also, because he fell during the show and the feeds didn't return for a while, I have no clue what Joe's punishment was for being the first down.

The "swings" are spinning and it's going faster. Just Dan, Shane and Ian left to battle it out.

10:26 PM ET - Danielle down!

10:22 PM ET, the four still in

10:13 PM ET - Shane, Ian, Dan and Danielle still in

10:09 - Feeds back on. Shane, Dan, Danielle and Ian still in.

Refresh this page for the latest update! Right now 10:02 PM ET, the feeds are still blocked.

Once the live feeds return, I'll be tracking the progress of the endurance competition on the live feeds. I'll be including screen caps from the feeds and hanging in myself until a winner is decided. You don't want to wait until SUNDAY, right?

Sheesh, Joe fell before the show ended! So did Jenn! I've never seen ANYONE out of endurance comps before the show ended before, now two. Yeah, but they're in the house and Britney is gone. @@

Big Brother 14: Live Eviction and HoH Show Blog Party - Aug. 30

Uh-oh. This live show isn't showing live in many areas on the East Coast. Thankfully, just this past winter WCBS out of NYC bought WLNY and, just in the past few weeks, they've included it in my cable package. Before that, WCBS was the only CBS affiliate I had. Tonight's live show will air on WLNY (We Love New York - gag) usually on either 10 or 55 for most cable companies in the NYC viewing area. WCBS itself will be airing football and I see no delayed time for BB listed at all.

I hope you can find it in your area! 

As the show airs here, I'll be updating this post with the major events. If indeed, as we suspect, the HoH comp is an endurance comp, I'll set up a separate live feeds post after the show, updating that post with happenings and screen caps from the live feeds. If you're checking on the show or, if it's endurance, the live feeds post -- you'll need to refresh the page to see the latest updates.

But, as always with our blog parties ... the real fun here is in the comments area. Come join us with your thoughts on the show!

It is endurance tonight -- reward or punish first eliminated hamster is a viewer Twitter poll. I didn't catch the address. Oops.

Ahh ... the Twitter poll is at #bbpunish or #bbreward.

Danielle's dressed for an endurance comp, Britney is in her pretty eviction dress. We can guess which way this will go. :-(

The vote to evict:

Dan -- Britney
Jenn -- Britney
Ian -- Danielle
Shane -- Britney
Joe -- Britney

:-(  We're stuck with Danielle. Ew!

Viewers voted for punishment for the first one out of the comp.

Soak up the sun is the comp. They're all balanced on small disks held up by wires over a pseudo-sun. A spray "tan" is coming down on them. Sheesh, Joe already looks like he's having problems and they were at it for about four minutes!

Once the show ends, my endurance comp post will go up and we'll move over there to follow the live feeds. Heck, who really wants to wait until Sunday for the results?

Darn, Joe is already down before the show ended! First for that! Jenn's down, too. "Planets" are hitting them.
