Big Brother 11 Live Eviction Show Blog Party Post - 8/27

The show has started here on the East Coast. This post will be updated with the major events as it airs, but the real fun is in the comments section. Everyone is welcome, bring your own snacks and beverages! Later tonight my show review will be posted on TV Squad.

Yay! We got footage of Jordan chest-bumping Russell! Of course, we got a lot of the Russell/Jeff verbal brouhaha, too. Upcoming is the vote (of course) and Jessie gets his new jury house roomie -- Lydia.

Julie announced that Have - Have Not is over for the season.

The vote to evict:
Jordan --> Russell
Kevin --> Russell
Michele --> Russell

Russell is evicted. He went out totally classy (although a bit backpedalling).

The HOH comp started. It's going to go on beyond the show as the four are running across a slick "graham cracker" filling a 16 gallon bowl with 8 ounce mugs of hot chocolate. I'll be setting up a separate post after the show ends to monitor the HOH comp on the feeds. While not an endurance, it's going to take some time.

Julie said there will be a new twist to HOH next week which will affect everyone.

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Into the Dawn Thursday 8/27

Gee, at least when Russell was rampaging, things were interesting. Here's the news from the late night/overnight hours in that Big Brother House of Survivor Will Be Here Soon:

• Michele once again said that she wouldn't bring Russell to the final two -- why would she give him $50,000?
• Jeff thinks Michele will target Natalie and Kevin if she wins HOH. Then they can stab her in the back the next week.
• Natalie plans to put Michele and Jeff on the block if she wins HOH, with Jeff as the target.
• Of course, she told Russell this, not Jeff.
• Kevin and Natalie are taking this all seriously. They've been studying for any possible question-based comp for hours.
• Russell has been nearby occasionally mentioning things or correcting facts.
• Kevin is tired of Jeff thinking he's a god in the house because America voted for him for the coup d'etat.
• Kevin and Natalie are very worried that America might have a hand in the jury vote -- they believe America and the show producers love Jeff and Jordan.
• Natalie and Kevin went through Michele's drawers and duffel bag looking to steal Michele's gloves because they can't find Natalie's.
• They didn't find them and BB told them they had to go to bed by 2 AM.
• Kevin and Michele think they have secured the jury vote of Russell by their recent bonding (and Natalie's lie telling about Michele).
• Jeff and Jordan cuddled and talked a long time.
• All are asleep as I post this.
  

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Into the Evening Wednesday 8/26

Lots of fingernail interest going on.

What? Together again?

Despite the excitement this afternoon, things have been rather dull this evening. Odd, perhaps. But dull, for sure.

• Odd: Jeff refers to Russell and himself as "kid.' Now, I might think of them as kids at 25 and 31. But when I was 25 and later 31, I didn't think of myself or my friends as "kids." I joke about the kid inside, but I can't help but wonder what happened to the generation?
  
• Michele continues to befuddle me. She's in with Jeff and Jordan, out with Russell. The next moment she's in with Russell again and he's making her dinner.
• Russell doesn't befuddle me. He's working every angle he can to stay in the house.
• He tried to convince Kevin that if he were to vote out Natalie, he'd be in an alliance of three (Russell, Michele, Kevin) against two (Jordan, Jeff).
• Kevin may be scheming to get Jeff out, but I get the feeling he likes Jeff.
  
• He doesn't like either Michele or Russell.
• He's frightened of Russell.
• Natalie, Jeff, Jordan, and Kevin gathered in the HOH room for Russell and Michele bashing.
• None of them can read her.
• Neither can I.
• Nor can Russell, methinks.
• Natalie had the gall to say that Michele didn't take a shower after one of the comps.
• You heard me.
  
• Michele reported back to Jeff that Russell thinks he has Kevin's vote.
• She does seem a bit more at ease talking with Jeff.
• I still can't say I can read her.
• Now Natalie, with Kevin eating Russell's gastronomical goodies meal, is reporting to Russell everything Jeff said about Michele.
• I'm confused. That's all for now.
• I want Jordan to beat up Russell just for my own entertainment.
  

Russ is cooking for himself and Michele.

Jeff hangs out with his buddies Natalie and Kevin while Jordan is in the diary room.

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Wednesday Daytime & Brouhaha 8/26

No, he didn't get socked in the jaw, not because he didn't try to provoke a punch, mind you.


Natalie is such a pig when she eats. She eats with her mouth open and takes huge chomps, often talking with a mouth full of food.


Jordan went through a freak-out rant on Russell, tears, and now is just very subdued.

Yep, I wanted a brouhaha and I got one today. Here's the scoop:

• Michele talked to Jeff -- she's worried that Russell is working on Kevin to vote to keep him.
• Not all that long after they got up (late), Russell started the brouhaha by taunting Jeff in the backyard.
• He exhibited the same behavior he showed when following/teasing/taunting Ronnie.
• Jeff is no Ronnie.
• He shouted back.
• All of a sudden, Jordan rushed into the middle of it totally going off on Russell.
• She screamed in his face!
• She actually BUMPED Russell who, despite his propensity for bullying, would draw the line at hitting a girl.
• "I'm not scared of you," Jordan screamed at the top of her lungs.
• Fine, now I have a fear of Jordan. She's dangerous!
• Jeff, in some weird guy kind of thing, told Russell that he (Russell) wanted to have sex with him.
• Of course, that gave Russell ammunition to declare Jeff gay.
• Jeff told Jordan to stay out of it, it's not her fight.
• Jordan socked Jeff a good one.
• Okay, I made that up.
• Scream, gnash, holler, hoot!
• Finally, BB shut the fight down before fisticuffs could go down.
• I think my money would have been on Jordan. I didn't think she had it in her to be so angry!
• Natalie told Kevin if he votes to keep Russell in, she'll stab him in the heart.
• I'm sure she said it with love.
• Now Kevin is once again scared of Russell.
• Everyone is avoiding Russell, for obvious reasons.
• Russell is acting very weird. One moment he'll be walking along and give a camera a huge grin, then he's moping, then -- when he saw Jeff -- he went into his sing-song bully voice taunting Jeff about being gay.
• I think Michele has washed her hands of Russell.
• Natalie told Russell that Michele reported all of her conversations with him to Jeff.
• So Russell has washed his hands of Michele, too.
• Russell is a man alone. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't have more meltdowns up his sleeve.
• As I get this posted everyone but Russell is having fun with the HOH camera.
  

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Into Wednesday Dawn 8/26

Oh, I am so cheating today. I'm giving you more screencaps than words! Why? Because these hamsters haven't given me much to write about, not much new anyway. You'll notice in the screencaps I'm posting that I now have a second one of Russell with yet a different hanger. I don't believe we've ever had a hanger-fixated hamster before.

Here's the biggest happenings of the evening and overnight hours ... and enjoy the purty piktures!

• Natalie and Kevin now have two covert operations -- Operation Sleep Deprivation and Operation Hide Sh** (let's say Stuff).
• Russell moped around by himself a lot, then later talked anti-Jeff with Michele and the Covert Kids.
• They played cards.
• They played pool.
• Kevin told the tale of the only time he ever stole anything. It actually boiled down to the store didn't charge him for things rather than him actually stealing things with intent. He wouldn't make a good criminal.
• Russell claimed that he sneaked out to a sushi bar while they were in pre-show sequester.
• They talked about what accompanying foods voted by America were best with the slop.
• Natalie and Russell bonded.
• Ew, just the thought.
• Russell, Michele, Kevin, and Natalie stayed up through the wee hours while Jordan and Jeff retired for the night.
• Now, do you see why I'm bored?
