Big Brother 17: Live Feeds Overnight into Wednesday - July 15

Pretty, I'm so pretty

Yeah, yeah. I know this live feeds update is very late. Dock my check if need be. Oh, wait. What check? (Of course, if you feel compelled, I do have a Paypal Donate link in the sidebar!) Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of At The End Of The Day:

• Audrey tried to convince Shelli that James is better in the game than is Clay. To Clay, "Calling you stupid would be doing you a favor."
• Heh.
• Jeff fussed about his lack of Diary Room time.
• That's because we just don't want to see him pick his shoulder pimples.
• Audrey wants everyone to act like they're in a Disney musical.
• Um. Wait. If it becomes Big Brother the Musical, our feeds will be forever blocked.
• "Stop that, Audrey."
• Steve's awkward act (if it is indeed an act, which I think a lot of it is) is catching on and people are thinking of ways to "use" him for their benefit.
• Hopefully, it's to HIS benefit. 
• It's already shown that he's gone from target to somebody that will probably be in the house safe for some time to come.
• Jason says that part of the reason he felt he had to come on the show was because he hated Frankie Grande so much.
• What happened to his childhood dream of being in the house that he mentioned before?
• But, it's okay to hate Frankie. I don't hate him, but I certainly was very annoyed at him all last summer.
• James is starting to crush a bit on Audrey. He thinks she's the prettiest girl in the house.
• I think she might be, as well.
• It has suddenly dawned on Jeff that he can't trust those whom he thought he were friends.
• Well, duh.
• Steve thinks they (Vanessa included) should somehow stop the Austin/Liz showmance.
• Steve has previously voiced thoughts of breaking up Chelli. He knows that the couples bond can be deadly for others in the house. He's seen it time and time again.
• I was surprised that I actually had interest in a very long discussion with Jackie, Jeff and Steve in the backyard.
• Now, had Jeff been that mellow, honest and quasi-intelligent all along, he wouldn't be going home this week.
• I think Steve soaked in all the insight and, hopefully, it might give him more game in the game.
• Jackie and Jeff talked about a lot of the behind the scenes stuff from TAR (apparently they're allowed to talk about production in TAR, just not BB). As a show fan and blogger, I found it quite interesting.
• Jason rejoined the talk and they kept it up until dawn there.
• They all eventually went to bed.
• As did I.
• Jeff has resigned that he'll most likely be going home tomorrow.

I've made mistakes

Time to himself

Cozying up?

Jackie, Jeff and Steve talk

Big Brother 17: Live Feeds Tuesday into the Evening - July 14

Jeff tries to sell himself

Vanessa never stops talking. Jeff never stops campaigning. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Lonesome Losers:

• Shelli thinks that there are too many alliances in the house this year and the large one she's in might be the butt of jokes like the Bomb Squad.
• Y'think?
• Audrey showed disdain for Clay and Shelli. Not TO them, though.
• Hey, gotta agree with her there!
• Audrey is back to doing her Audrey thing -- planting the odd seed here and there and seeing if it might grow.
• She's trying to cast suspicion on Austin to Chelli, saying he's in too many alliances. 
• Johnny Mac thinks his professional friends might be wondering why he's ruining his career being on the show.
• Heck, if his career has survived his voice and laugh, he has no worries. He's done nothing really stupid in the house.
• Johnny Mac just might be the dark horse in this race of rodents!
• I was disheartened to find out that I'm older than more than a few of these hamsters' mothers.
• Sigh.
• The HoH camera came out and they did the typical shots.
• Yawnsers.
• Chelli (Clay/Shelli) want to work more on building Steve's trust.
• I hope deep down inside he plays them for all they're worth. He was telling Vanessa that he thinks they (Chelli) need to be split up.
• Ha.
• Steve doesn't expect to be a celebrity of any type after the show.
• That's realistic. Outside the hardcore BB fans, the ex-hamsters are unknowns.
• Austin would like it if Audrey won HoH and targeted Jason.
• I don't think Audrey wants to win HoH. Despite the brouhaha around her a week or so ago, she's become more of a nonentity as of late. She knows she has people who will protect her.
• Of course, if she goes up on the block, she just might be voted out. James and Jason would both go for that!
• Vanessa told Austin that Steve would target Audrey. Well, yeah. But he also has his sights set on disrupting Chelli.
• They're thinking HoH might be endurance this week.
• We're probably due for one if the last few years are any indication.
• Austin thinks he'd suck at endurance.
• Yes, he's way too big.
• I'd say Jason, who weighs practically nothing, would probably win any endurance comp.
• Lots of voting talk. Lots of "indecision" when talking to Jeff.
• He should be able to read between the lines there.
• Lots of "if so-and-so gets HoH, who would they target" talk.
• Austin and Vanessa quizzed themselves on the order of the Gronk parties.
• Then Vanessa went into obscure things like how many drawers in the dresser in HoH.
• Uh, that might be a bit extraneous!
• Audrey tried (fake?) make amends with Jason.
• Hmm.
• Jason told her he was no longer holding a grudge.
• Hmm.
• Tonight is the big "date night" decided by Vanessa -- probably decided by BB to give the BBAD viewers some sort of content.
• Jeff is thinking the vote will be close.
• I don't think it will be as close as he thinks. I think the only two votes to keep him over James will be John (due to a prior deal/quasi-alliance) and Jackie (due to TAR).
• I could be wrong.
• He thinks Vanessa will vote against him.
• Yet he claims to know BB.
• Tsk, tsk.

Audrey, a complex mystery ... kind of

Steve sees they need to be broken up

Meg gets more gutsy as time goes on

Pretty in pink?

Will Jeff stay or will he go? The plan is to get him outta there. And, it looks like he'll be out. I don't think he has the time to pull a rabbit out of his hat. That would probably be Austin's hat. Never mind. I digress. Here's the latest skinny on what's been happening inside that Big Brother House of Betraying Buddies:

• Knowing that their prized hamsters are in a boring lull, BB told them they'd give them alcohol if they thought of drinking games for the live feeds watchers.
• Yeah, that's the ticket!
• Jason said that if he doesn't make jury, he won't be able to take the whole summer off. But if he does make jury, he's going to sleep all October and be poor.
• I doubt he'll be "poor" if he makes jury. The stipend he's getting is probably a lot more than he earns as a grocery stocker. Add on no living costs for three months and he can surely sleep a month!
• Jackie said she and Jeff split $4,000 in winnings from TAR. Now, $2,000 isn't a lot for a month. Hmm.
• Austin suggested they get a one week deal from James for voting Jeff out instead of him. He also wanted to throw Meg in the safety deal because he thinks James is "in love" with Meg.
• BB gave them warm beer.
• Yuck.
• They played a game of King's Cup. 
• They played another game of Truth or Dare.
• Hilarity ensued.
• Jeff dressed as a Chippendale, except with toilet paper fringes instead of something sexy.
• James licked whip cream off of Austin's chest.
• Steve admitted he's kissed five girls.
• Jason and Meg both stuffed cotton balls in their mouths.
• Vanessa decided that tomorrow night is date night and the dates must end with a French kiss.
• I'm wondering if that's production suggestions as I notice the new promos for the Wednesday show feature the kisses from the Truth or Dare the other night.
• They want to push the sex angle when the one "couple" in the house aren't doing more than cuddling.
• Steve talked strategy with Vanessa, prying for information whether he's in anyone's sights as a target.
• She told him he's pretty safe.
• She admitted that Audrey doesn't like Jason or James, but refused to say Audrey would actually target them.
• And on it goes ...

Delusions of grandeur

Inhaling cotton balls

Gag me with a spoon ... now!

Hilarity ensues

Vanessa talks; Steve listens

Big Brother 17: Live Feeds Monday into the Evening, Renom - July 13

Gal pals (all three of them)

Y'know, if they had kept the choice for a renom quiet, we'd have exciting live feeds right now. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Loose Lips:

• They had some kind of Gronk comp thing this morning, blocked to the live feeds. Meg won a cruise with Gronk, Gronkette and the Gronklets (if they have any Gronklets).
• Vanessa, despite the fact that she and Austin have gone over her renom speech thoroughly and a gazillion times, worried about her upcoming renom speech.
• John told Jason that he's planning on voting to keep Jeff because Jeff has had his back.
• Hmm.
• Although he's on the block weekly, John really hasn't needed anyone to "have his back."
• The PoV Ceremony went down as expected -- John saved himself and Vanessa put Jeff in his place.
• John told Vanessa he planned to vote for Jeff to stay.
• Vanessa told him the long tale of the evils Jeff has done and why she put him up.
• Audrey thinks all of her betrayers -- Da'Vonne, Jeff -- are gone or going home, but it leaves Jason.
• She claims they all told lies about her.
• Um, not really.
• She's just bit touched in the head when it comes to truth versus lie.
• Yeah, that's it!
• Lots of small talk.
• Since Jeff was already in the know about being the renom, no brouhahas. Not even a kerfuffle. 
• Sigh. 

Open wide

Still on the block, but more optimistic

"That Jason needs to GO."

Big Brother 17: Live Feeds Overnight into Monday Dawn - July 13

Chelli on the hammock

Gronk. Gronk. Who wants a party? No one, really. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Pooped Partiers:

• Y'know, I can appreciate Vanessa's game moves and her plan. I understand why she's targeting Jeff and not Audrey.
• BUT SHE NEEDS TO SHUT UP!
• She also needs to stop with the "at the end of the day" phrase. If I never hear that on Big Brother again, I certainly won't miss it. 
• Where her big problem with me is that she keeps on talking and talking. First, why bother even letting Jeff know he's a target? Just slap him up on the block. Second, when talking to people (if she feels she must), just state the case once. If there's no chance the other person will change her mind, move along.
• Didn't I say 'ad nauseam' before? I say it again. (I love showing off Latin phrases.)
• It was so bad that I found a teeth conversation with Johnny Mac, Lizia and Steve more interesting.
• Steve brought his retainer, but hasn't been wearing it.
• Don't you love all these insider bits?
• Heh.
• Austin has been playing the "I didn't know Audrey wasn't her target" bit with Jeff.
• But his relationship with Jeff has broken down nonetheless as it's been brought up that Jeff talked about backdooring him.
• Although Jeff denied throwing Austin under that reality bus, it's there. 
• More fuel for the Oust Jeff Movement.
• Vanessa told Shelli she doesn't think Steve knows about the twins.
• Duh. Everyone in the house knows!
• And, what about them taking Steve into their alliance? It shows that he's really not IN with them. (As I knew all along.)
• The Gronk Parties partied on.
• As decided by online fans, they played a game of Truth or Dare.
• Johnny Mac came up with a unique strategy for nominations -- he'd set up in the bathroom and the first two people who didn't turn the Occupied sign around get nominated.
• I'm liking him a lot more than I thought I would. He doesn't take these things so seriously and he is comic relief at times. Despite the way he talks, he does seem to know his dentistry and is generally pretty smart and observant.
• Nothing of any great consequence happened. I think we'll still see Jeff being named as the replacement nominee for John at today's PoV ceremony.
• I wish they hadn't decided to "tell" him -- they didn't come out and blatantly say it because that's against the rules, but they "told" him anyway. 
• I would have preferred a true blindside brouhaha tonight!

They're still Lizia to me

Gronk Party noisemakers

Has she got a ruthless side?

Such delicate painted nails

Talking teeth

Gronk Party, dudes!
