BB23: Live Feeds into Saturday Evening - August 14

 

They yawn, I yawn

Here is the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Confusing Cougars:

• Okay, I'm getting all kinds of discombobulated here. 
• Befuddled, as well.
• I have no problem understanding that they drew players for the veto comp.
• In addition to Kyland, Claire and Derek F we have Azah, Britini and Alyssa. Hmm.
• But then that High Rollers twist bit steps in.
• It seems they could bet on people to win and one could win a second veto? They could use it this week or next. 
• I find that a bit perplexing!
• I think I might have to drag out my Thesaurus!
• From my understanding (or lack thereof): Derek F chose Britini, Kyland chose Alyssa, SarahBeth chose Azah, Claire chose Kyland.
• The rest of the hamsters didn't bet, perhaps saving their BB bucks for a better prize bet.
• I guess.
• Or, maybe the $50 people didn't have enough?
• I find myself a bit bewildered.
• It was a feeds block frenzy once again today.
• After one, they came back talking about OTEV. I don't know if they were told that would be the comp or whether they just got it in their heads that it could be.
• Some are saying it's too early for it, others saying it isn't.
• I'm baffled.
• The target this week seems to be Britini, thank you to Xavier and Tiffany for pushing that to save Claire.
• What?
• Britini's not a nomination!
• But she is a picked at random veto player.
• If she puts her mind to it like she did to save her own butt and saves Claire (or even Derek F although he's a pawn but has been very nice to her), who would go up?
• Will there be more nominees because of the second veto?
• Argh!
• I find it all quite puzzling.

What the heck is going on?!?!

Will his talk go 'round in circles?

If not for the Cookout, it would be
her, Claire and Derek X

Probably won't win, but he's a winner anyway

Says she only got the $50 for High Rollers

Seriously ... now is the time to win comps, Claire!

BB23: Live Feeds into Saturday Morning - August 14

 

KITTEHS!!! Saw most of the day it seems ...

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Gambling Gremlins:

• After all the tedious one-on-one meetings by Kyland as he tried to decide on nominations, it seemed to come down to Claire and Britini.
• But then Derek F valiantly stepped in front of the speeding train of broken hamster dreams, offering to be the pawn in place of Britini.
• Valiant? Hmm. He says he doesn't want Britini to go through being on the block again.
• Maybe. If so, it will be one of the few worthwhile kind things he's done in the house. And, I'm sure that's at least a part of his reasoning for volunteering to be a pawn.
• But, you see, I've watched him all season talking about how he would be happy just to make it to jury, has nothing at home to return to and on and on. He knows the likelihood of him winning a comp is just about nil. He realizes that physical comps just aren't his thing and he's failed at the mental comps, too. A paid vacation in the jury house sounds great to him!
• In a fair and just world, the person wanting to stay and play the game would stay while the one who already thinks he won't win will go to jury.
• Alas, then there's the Cookout.
• Any non-Cookout hamster up with Derek F is almost certainly going to be voted out.
• The nominations are Derek F and Claire.
• Wah. 
• So much of yesterday was kittens and puppies between the nominations block and then the really extended block for the new High Rollers twist.
• The hamsters know there are three levels of $$$ and that America is voting on who gets how much.
• So ... it gives them an idea who America really likes.
• As a result, most are not talking or are lying about how much they got.
• Derek X told Hannah he got $100, the highest amount. I believe it.
• It sounds like Derek F (?!?!?!) and Britini may have been the other "big" winners.
• It sounds like many accepted or bet on the powers, but I really can't divulge much about the powers.
• Um. I can't divulge because I am so confused! There was something about a second veto that I just don't understand. I guess we will have to wait until the show for clarification.
• Meanwhile, it seems that Hannah and Tiffany really don't want Claire out this week. If they had their way, SarahBeth would win veto, save Claire and Britini would go up and out.
• That's because, of course, they just cannot vote out fellow Cookout member, Derek F!
• They were saying no one else was really mentioning Claire as a target right now and it was all Kyland.
• Grr.
• The veto comp will be later today.
• A lot will hinge on the winner of that comp.
• Please let it be Claire!

Her fate is in the cards

Still bereft

No, I don't want to be your pawn!

Um. Okay. Whatever.

And then a donkey led them ...

Exactly how I felt watching them yesterday

BB23: Live Feeds into Thursday Morning - July 15

 

If I were two Dereks I wouldn't sit in those chairs!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Murder Mysteries:

• Just a quick note -- don't forget tonight's live eviction show is at 8PM ET/PT. For years it was an hour later.
• It still looks like Travis will go.
• However, in his scramble for votes I forgot about the teams aspect until I was watching one of his talks with Frenchie.
• I'm not AS sure as he is, but he brought up that the teams should be voting for their own person on the block to stay.
• Therefore, both Travis and Alyssa should have three built-in votes from the get-go.
• Now, I don't think the teams are obligated in any way to vote to keep a teammate, so his thinking might be flawed.
• But, if they do, we're talking seven votes at stake.
• The one staying would need four of them.
• Frenchie was telling Travis that if it came to a tie, he would vote to keep him.
• His math must be off. 16 hamsters minus three who can't vote (HOH and two nominees) minus six (or even not) will result in an odd number. There will be no tiebreaker no matter how the votes go down.
• Frenchie keeps assuring Travis he has his back when in reality he's backing Alyssa. Or, at least I think he is. It's hard to tell with him as he keeps lying to people and changing his mind.
• Alyssa is worried that she will go.
• But I don't think she should worry so much.
• Despite the chaos of Frenchie's whirlwind HOH hot mess, this group is more interesting to watch than many past seasons.
• It seems for the most part that they have better than the average hamster candidates life experience-wise. True, the ages still gear young but we're not seeing the bartenders and dead-end jobs people so much.
• Well, Xavier lied and said he was a bartender, but he's a lawyer!
• He almost got caught with the lie when some were talking about going to Las Vegas and drinking after the season. He went and said he wasn't so much into either Vegas or drinking. He kind of clarified it by saying he's just a home-buddy at heart, but he needs to be careful.
• I usually don't think they should lie about their jobs. However, he just might have a point. People automatically think money when they think lawyers. Due to the fact he's 27, I think he's just starting out, doesn't earn a fortune and has student loans to pay. He's the one with 11 siblings, so I doubt his family is made of money!
• Frenchie seems to be focused on targeting Xavier rather than Derek X now. But he has no power, so I don't know how far that will go. I get the feeling that some of his followers are just surface following to avoid drama right now. I think the only real follower would be Derek F.
• As far as Derek F goes, although he is so tight with Frenchie, if it comes down to it he's surely going to be his own man.
• Brent is just using Frenchie. If he (Brent) doesn't win HOH, it will be interesting to see if he latches onto the new HOH.
• While everyone should be dubious of Frenchie at this point due to his all over the place reign, he does still have people who seem to trust him.
• Why? I just don't know.
• This house of hamsters tend to do group activities to amuse themselves (and us).
• Last night was some bizarre horror murders mystery led by SarahBeth. It came complete with werewolves and witches as well as gruesome murders as they "slept" through the night. 
• It's better than watching them play chess.
• The feeds went to adoptable animals for a while yesterday, totally unexplained. While we get blocked feeds (too often!) a lot, the animals are usually reserved for comps, veto meetings, comp instructions and such.
• Tiffany thinks Frenchie is using the current atmosphere in the world of social injustice and racial inequality for game purposes and is not sincere.
• I agree. From his bio, Frenchie is very cognizant of the issues. BUT ... he keeps telling POC and women they're safe with him, then targeting them. Hey, if you're going to talk the talk, follow it up with walking the walk. Otherwise, don't make promises when your actions belie them!
• I remain impressed with the women this season -- Tiffany, Claire and Azah are all huge show fans and probably the most well-rounded ones in years.
• Then there's Whitney and Alyssa who have now decided to work together. I don't have the same feelings about their skills in the game.
• How about SarahBeth, Britini and Hannah? Well, they have promise in the game.
• The men this season ... not so much.
• Huh. Britini made a promise to herself at 14 that she would remain a virgin. And, she stuck with it. Yay! It's nice to know that the likelihood of soft porn in the house this season is lessened even more. Allison Grodner may think that's what we like ... but NO.
• That's pretty much it for now.
• It still looks like it will be Travis out the door.
• Oh, well. He irks me anyway. I don't know why. Perhaps it's those too-short sleeved tight shirts showing off his muscles or the no shirt at all bit. 

Curls to braids to mouse ears

Claire dies in their horror Big Brotherton murders mystery

Hannah sports mouse ears better!

Azah is attractive with 'fro and with it hidden

Xavier just better not fall for a showmance!

Alyssa is more worried about tonight than is Travis.

BB23: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - July 14

 

Come one, come all! Welcome to the madness we call Big Brother! Now, since I've been watching the live feeds, it seems like they've been in action for more than a month. Nope. It's been a week. Tonight's show is the third episode. Tomorrow night is the first eviction.

Because this is a show post and some people read these but do not follow the live feeds ... NO SPOILERS in the comments, please. Yes, feedsters already know the results, but do not mention them in comments until they happen on the show. Comments doing so will be removed. 

I'll be live blogging the major events as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest news! As always, the real party is in the comments ... please feel free to join in on the fun!

Previously on ... we start off with Frenchie's safety promises. Teams, HoH, comps, meatheads, promising the women safety and on and on. 

We pick up at the end of the nominations. Frenchie tells us he has to be the showmance killer. His pawn, Kyland, feels hurt, heartbroken and confused. It would have been nice had Frenchie given him a heads up. Frenchie's main man Derek F is even confused. Alyssa is confused. True, Frenchie was limited in his noms but he went and promised safety to so many! 

Frenchie hasn't even talked to his own team about things. When Alyssa asks him why her he tells her the showmance with Christian. She's shocked and reminds him that it's day three. Christian figures out that he's the "big fish" Frenchie wants. (Safe due to Wildcard Comp win.) Frenchie thinks she lied to him.

Uh-oh! Frenchie realizes he made a mistake and now must decide on a new target! @@

Onto this week's social commentary. This time it's LBGTQ and SarahBeth's bisexuality.

Frenchie is telling us he needs to find a new target and he's prior military -- reminiscent of Philip on Survivor! Frenchie thinks Derek X is a snake. Frenchie accuses Derek X of being in an alliance. Frenchie tells Derek X he knows that he (and Travis) have been mentioning his name. Can we say HoH paranoia?

Brent wants to help Derek X because he's on his team. Brent reminds him of a backdoor. Derek X decides he really needs to win Veto to be safe this week.

Azah, Derek F and Tiffany bond. Xavier joins in. They decide that they're the Cookout and will each bond with another. The Cookout will be inviting Kyland. Yes, the Cookout is all about the Black culture in the house.

Then Xavier and Brent talk about a final two deal. Brent wants Derek X out of the target range and insert Travis in there. When Brent talks to Frenchie all of a sudden Frenchie wants to keep a safety promise? Huh.

Veto player picks time ... Frenchie goes first, gets Tiffany. Then Kyland who draws Houseguest's Choice, picks Travis. Alyssa draws Derek X. Heh. Frenchie didn't want either Travis or Derek X playing and they both are playing.

Derek F hosts the comp, tells them to change to swim gear and head to the backyard. There are huge drinks and a tropical atmosphere. Have to roll a cherry down a tube, then guide it with huge garnishes into their cup. Massive Cocktails is the name of the comp.

DEREK X wins the Power of Veto! He is also the only one working the puzzle smartly. Frenchie is sad, too bad.

Heehee ... Frenchie thinks if the veto isn't used his HOH is a total disaster. Too late.

He thinks he's going to have to go back on his word and the renom will be Travis. Brent wants Travis up. Derek X goes to talk to Frenchie -- very passive aggressive, do what you want to do, I want you to save Kyland. Frenchie lies to him and tells him that if Kyland remains, Derek is the target of others. Derek is promised safety but is dubious of Frenchie's integrity.

Alyssa tells Derek X she has his back if she wins HoH. She tells him that against Ky, she would go home. 

Time for the veto meeting. Derek X saves Kyland with the veto. Frenchie puts Travis up in his place. Frenchie says it's because he cannot beat him at the end of the game.

Frenchie is sure his HoH is a huge success. Azah refers to it as Frenchie's Funhouse.

Remember  --  tomorrow's show is at 8PM ET/PT.

BB23: Live Feeds Into Wednesday Morning - July 14

 

Is the house giving Kyland a tension headache?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Miscreant Mice:

• Get this ... Frenchie seems to still be popular with many. Not all. But many.
• Some have mentioned how he's all over the place. But it might be confusing me more than it is them! I guess.
• Yes, they are very into playing the game. However, they seem mostly friends, too.
• Alas, Derek X's brief fifteen hours of house fame with the PoV win has ended, He is pretty much the lone nonsocial wolf, albeit he's not a wolf. He might be the only one who hasn't clicked in with a solid (for this point in time) alliance or even a bond with anyone.
• In Azah's bio pre-season, she mentioned a fear of manholes without further explanation. Well, now we know. She backed up and fell in an open manhole once only catching herself with her underarms. Her feet could touch water and she feared she would drown if she fell all the way in -- she can't swim. A man helped her get out.
• It was Kyland's 30th birthday and a good time was had by all. Not that I wanted a repeat of Keesha's birthday, but ... it was okay-ish. 
• He was thrilled with his birthday there and had a long talk with the camera in the storage room later in the evening. He wanted to know if all BB houses are always this noisy. (Yes.) He went on about how he knows it's only been a week, went by fast, but he feels he's known the others forever. Loves his family, loves his fellow hamsters.
• They had a toga party for his birthday. They had cake the night before.
• Xavier seems to be thinking of a showmance. Cut that out right now! You're better than that!
• Although there are rumblings about flipping the vote or throwing in a few hinky votes, it's looking more and more like it will be a (hated by us) house vote to evict Travis.
• Why, I don't know. I don't care for Travis. But Alyssa is coming off as a nonessential to me. So, either can go. 
• Surprisingly, Frenchie's name isn't coming up as a possible target next week. But Derek X is. He really needs to get in and mingle better!
• Of course, Christian's name is out there, too.
• But we all knew that.
• This crowd stays up way too late and gets up way too early.
• Maybe that's why the age cut-off is 40.

Now, it's not really boring you, is it?

They had a toga party. I didn't know those still were a thing.

Toga! Toga! Toga!

Claire is playing smart and a bit under the radar for now.

Ohh! Christian and SarahBeth?!?!

TAR32: Meet the Cast - Part 1

Dating: Alana and Leo

Alana Folsom is 29 from Somerville, MA. She's an Internal Communications Associate at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. Oh my. She enjoys poetry, cooking and running. Hmm. One of those might help her, maybe all dependent on the challenges. 

 Leo Brown is 31 and also from Somerville, MA. He's a senior healthcare data analyst. So, we're talking mostly about software computer stuff there. I don't think any of his hobbies are going to help him in the race too much -- "Playing the violin, vegetable gardening, eating peanut butter, and hosting friends in our backyard." He would like to go to Australia to meet a platypus. Ah, a man after my own heart. He wants to prove to Alana that he's a keeper. I don't know how they'll do but I think they will be likable.

Siblings: Aparna and Eswar

Aparna Dhinakaran is 26 from Berkeley, CA, She is an engineer/entrepreneur. Cool -- she's very involved with AI (Artificial Intelligence), It won't help her on the race, but cool anyway. She says she likes writing in cute little coffeeshops and preparing for her Bollywood breakout. Um. Okay.

Eswar Dhinakaran is 24, from Fremont, CA. He's a software engineer/entrepreneur. Thankfully, he at least has some more athletic hobbies than his sister. In his CBS bio he's nowhere near as wordy as she is. Both siblings grew up watching the show and it's a lifetime dream for them to actually be on it.

Former NFL: Gary and DeAngelo

Gary Barnidge is 34, from Middleburg, FL. He played for the Carolina Panthers and the Cleveland Browns and is now running a non-profit football-related organization. As I don't watch football at all, I had to look him up. He's the white guy.

DeAngelo Williams is 37, from Charlotte, NC. He played for Carolina Panthers and Pittsburgh Steelers. All he lists is retired for now.

Both seem to be a bit bored and are looking for adrenalin excitement as well as adventure. They will probably do well.

Married Parents: Hung and Chee

Chee Lee is 38 from Houston, TX. He lists his occupation as financial planning and analysis. He seems to be athletic although he enjoys binge-watching shows with his wife and once ate five pounds of pizza in an hour to win a contest.

Hung Nguyen is 39 also living in Houston. She's a professional development coach -- turning potential into promotions (she says). She was born in a refugee camp and is kind of hoping the race will take her back there as she has never returned. Both parents seem to be supportive and both like to experiment with new foods. I think they too will do well!

If you haven't signed up for the blog pool yet, please sign up by going to THIS LINK. Please don't sign up on this cast post! The deadline is looming! The season premiere is Wednesday, October 14, after Big Brother.

TAR32: The Amazing Race Blog Pool OPENS!

Well, that just kind of sneaked up on us. Or, at least, on me! The season premier of The Amazing Race 32 is next Wednesday, October 14, at 9pm ET/PT -- following the Big Brother episode. The season was filmed long before the pandemic hit and has been waiting in the wings.

I'll be posting more on the cast over the next few days. However, I want to get this pool in motion! Lifeguard SueGee has graciously volunteered to run the blog pool. She's cool like that, y'know. 

What's it all about? 

Our esteemed and accomplished Lifeguard SueGee (AKA SqueeGee) will randomly match up pool entrants with the race teams. Once matched up with a team, you need to cheer them on until they're Philiminated or win it all. Yeah, even if they're obnoxious. Deal with it! 

What will I win? 

IF you win, you'll be pleased to know there is NO CASH PRIZE! Nuh-uh. No way. That would cheapen the whole thing, don't ya think? Instead of paltry prizes, you get BRAGGING RIGHTS. Yep! From now through all eternity YOU will be a blog pool winner here. Feel free (and I encourage it) to put your win in your sign-off signature so that everyone can oooh and ahhh. Can't you hear the crowd now?

 

How do I get in on this wild action?!?! 

You just need to sign up in the comments of THIS POST and THIS POST ONLY. If you put your name in on another post or Facebook or Twitter, it might be missed. If you come here as anonymous, you must come up with some sort of name in you comment. Otherwise, we can't tell the anonymous folks apart. Well, except for the unruly ones, maybe. 

When is the deadline for joining the pool? 

The deadline for signing up is TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13 at NOON Pacific Time (that's 3pm ET). Don't put it off! Sign up TODAY!

BB22: Live Feeds into Thursday - Sept. 24

Yes, you are on the internet

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of CBS No Access:

• The live feeds were blocked for about 14 hours yesterday with no explanation.
• When they came back way late last night, the hamsters were all sitting around playing group charades.
• Boring!
• The Have Nots got to eat at midnight their time.
• How exciting!
• Da'Vonne went to a room alone, speaking to the camera (us). She knows she will be the one going home and feels she has accomplished her goals. While she hasn't won the money (which would be nice), she feels she was able to use the show as a platform to represent Black people, educate folks on what BLM is all about and spread the word of God. She feels like she might have let people down and got quite teary.
• Aww ... at least she didn't play mean-spirited!
• It sounds like Nicole might have told her about the David vote as she (Day) said she would like to see him make it to the end.
• Dani told Memphis about her BB Basement power. This is the last week she can use it. If he wants, she will use it on him so he can play tonight in the HoH comp.
• I think she thinks he would give her safety for the week if he wins. But he neither committed to using it, nor keeping her safe.
• And that's the big news.
• Now you're bored, too!
• My job here is done.

You're boring us as well

An emotional farewell

 

BB22: Live Feeds into Monday Afternoon, PoV Meeting - Sept. 14

 

Sharing a 'do with Tyler today

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Terrible Turtles:

• Sigh, I try not to be the one whining.
• But, this year, the feeds blocks are much too much.
• Apparently there was another wall shouter yesterday evening.
• Those in the yard didn't hear it. Enzo even thought they called an indoor lockdown due to fires.
• I haven't heard them complaining of the smoke, but would think there has to be at least some smell in the air there.
• I found it interesting that one hamster (Cody?) said they have an armed guard on set.
• Oh my.
• Nonetheless, a wall shouter not heard by anyone, hamster or feeds watcher, does not or should not necessitate a shut down of the live feeds for hours and hours.
• They were down well into the night, almost to the dawn here on the East Coast.
• I'm disgusted with the live feeds coverage this season. Or, more accurately, the lack thereof. It's almost as if they're not pushing the feeds as they have done for years. 
• Anyway ... the POV meeting went down fairly early (for them) today.
• Da'Vonne used the veto to save Kevin. 
• Dani replaced Kevin with Ian.
• So, it's Ian and Tyler on the block -- two of the players I actually wanted to watch play the game this season.
• With Kevin on the block, it was likely that Tyler might be sent packing.
• He's already had a hissy fit claiming if he's sent to jury he's just going to leave and forfeit any monies.
• Hmm.
• Ian has also voiced that he wants to go home.
• Watching their talks since the veto meeting, it seems now it should be Ian leaving on Thursday.
• David told Da'Vonne that Ian acts like he and Kevin are dumb.
• No one really knows Ian's gameplay.
• He has no real close allies other than Nicole and Nicole is more attached to him than he to her.
• He is one of the two previous winners in this house of supposed all stars.
• It looks like Tyler is now out of the crosshairs and Ian is the target.
• Sigh.
• Unless things change, it will be Ian leaving.
• In a way, it might be best for him. He would be out of the house of stress where people are mocking him for his autism. He has voiced hope that Kaysar might get him a job. I can see Kaysar doing that if he can.
• But if he leaves, that would leave me with just a few I actually like to watch on the live feeds -- Da'Vonne and Enzo.
• Oh, well. 

Oh, Da'Vonne, what have you done?

Schemes more than he plays

Yo, Bayonne, what up?

See! It's Christmas hair!

BB22: Live Feeds into Friday - August 14

 

Will he still be here after this week?

\

I guess without a live audience, the show being taped and not live isn't a huge deal. But it would have been nice had they mentioned it. What's been happening inside that Big Brother House of Loquacious Loons?

• I can't help but wonder what's going to happen when they have an endurance comp that goes over the hour time limit for the show. Will it air on the feeds? Will we have a forever feeds block? Hmm.
• At least they didn't make us East Coast people wait three hours before starting up the live feeds again!
• Ohhh ... more alcohol? Two days in a row? Now, if they combined both deliveries, it's still a paltry amount. Not that I'm a proponent of getting drunk, but even I am good for two beers. Each delivery only had six beers, yet so many hamsters.
• Our esteemed Have Nots for the week are: Nicole F, Kaysar, Christmas and David. I'm not sure how they were selected. We didn't see anyone volunteering and it's not the order of the first four out of the HoH comp. Maybe Memphis just arbitrarily assigned them. I dunno.
• Memphis got his HOH room and a basket of wrapped and sanitized goodies. His letter from his little boy was tearjerkingly sweet.
• In order to "prove" they're not working together, some of Memphis large alliance plan to compete for the Safety Suite. 
• Like that will mask that they're working together!
• Right now Memphis is talking of targeting Ian, Nicole A or David for eviction.
• Hmm. If that stays, it won't break my heart if David is evicted. Mind you, he's a nice enough guy. However, he never should have been cast in an All-Star season when he technically has never really played the game.
• I do NOT want either Ian or Nicole A gone.
• But, if those targets stay targets for nominations, that would mean Janelle and Kaysar live another week.
• Much of the rest of time before bedtime was them trying to figure out who is with whom.
• I think they need spreadsheets.
• Perhaps a PowerPoint guided display.
• Today should be the second of the three Safety Suite comps and nominations.

Go amuse yourself

Looking Travolta-esque?

I'm tired of every day being Christmas

Meow to all youse

BB22: Live Feeds into Wednesday Afternoon - Aug. 12

 

I guess it's winter in California

Did the booze delivery last night make things more interesting last night inside that Big Brother House of Alcohol Antics? Read on ...

• Well, it might have had they been given enough to affect them. Even with Kaysar and anyone else who don't drink, there really wasn't enough to do much at all.
• Six beers and two bottles of wine. 16 people. If two abstain, 14 people. Um. Okay.
• Last night they Have Nots could not only have alcohol, but they could eat real food once again.
• While we saw a lot of the cooking leading up to the feast, BB blocked the feeds while they were feeding. I don't recall them cutting out the feast like that before.
• In other news, Memphis is getting really heated about BB leaving the lights on while he tries to sleep.
• It does seem like the Have Nots will stay in their room until new Have Nots are named. That's the only way there are enough beds.
• And, of course, with no showmances (yay!) this season, people aren't into sharing beds!
• With the exception of Janelle, Kaysar and perhaps David, there seem to be little alliances popping up all over the house -- including Tyler once again over-promising to too many.
• Memphis wants a huge alliance which undoubtedly would crash and burn rather quickly.
• Ian is concerned because back in his own season, he always pretty much knew what was going on. This season, not so much.
• Keesha remains the main target.
• Cody even tried to talk Kaysar into voting her out. Now, Kaysar isn't committing to anyone about his vote. I believe he wants to keep Keesha as he thinks she will work better with him and Janelle. But if it's going to pretty much be one of those ridiculous house votes again, she won't be staying.
• Nicole A. thinks she and Kevin might align with Janelle, Kaysar and Ian.
• The only problem with that is that so many people have all these little side alliances going on. Even Da'vonne talked about regretting jumping into alliances so soon.
• When will they ever learn?
• Unless something drastic happens, the general consensus is that Keesha will go. She hasn't built relationships with many, nor does she really help out much with chores in the house.
• Memphis and David seem to be the cleaner dudes. All the others seem to pitch in with dishes and such.
• Laters!

Nice enough guy, but so not an "All Star"

Ian is being left out of the loop

Maybe it's not winter?

Yes, please do cover up your mouth!
