Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Into Thursday Night 9/03


We kept getting this message ... at 11:45 PM ET. Say what? Now the Jets game delayed the live show here, but ...! (BTW - the Jets won.)


Apparently the super long feeds block that got me thinking Pandora's Box was actually a luxury comp in which they got all kinds of clothing.


It looks like they cleaned up!


Oh, what a shame. All of the clothes Natalie got are too big for her. Maybe she should just keep wearing the same clothes or keep mooching off of others like she has done all season so far.

Here's what happened before the feeds went down:
  • Kevin thought it was great they showed Natalie with the dragonfly.
  • Natalie gloated over her win.
  • Again and again.
  • Natalie told Kevin he's the reason she got this far and she won't betray him.
  • They want to either both sleep or at least Kevin sleep in the room with Jordan and Michele to keep them from talking together.
  • Kevin thinks Pandora's Box will be back.
  • Natalie thinks he's tripping.
  • Still no HOH room as I post this and no nominations talk.
  • But I bet we can all guess the nominations!
Added at 12:45 AM ET -- Natalie just told Michele and Jordan she will be putting Kevin on the block. I'll believe it when I see it.

Big Brother 11 Live Eviction Show Blog Party - 9/03

Big Brother 11 Blog Logo

The show is delayed by Jets football here in the NYC viewing area. I won't be able to provide the major updates as it airs as is my normal practice. However, if you're viewing the show on time, you're invited to post updates in the comments area -- that would be greatly appreciated! (Yes, I'm talking about you, ChaCha!)

Everyone is welcome, bring your own snacks and beverages! Late tonight or tomorrow morning (depends when I get to really see the show), my show review will be posted on TV Squad.

Ack. Jeff evicted -- Kevin broke the tiebreaker.
Double ack - Natalie won HOH.

WAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Overnight Into Thursday 9/03



Gee, a banner plane was spotted over the house yesterday!



Okay, I lied. The banner plane was created by Zoetawny just for us. Here's the scoop from the Big Brother House of Wishful Thinking:
  • BB gave Jeff his wine -- well, he's the one who was bugging them about it.
  • Kevin, angry that Jeff didn't call him to share it, took a glass and then poured it down the toilet.
  • He said he just didn't want Jeff to have it.
  • Of course, he didn't say that to Jeff.
  • Natalie and Kevin made a calendar out of the modeling clay so they could study event dates in the house.
  • Michele told Jordan if they don't win veto this week, all will be over.
  • Jeff and Jordan were called to the diary room together.
  • Natalie cheated at chess and played by her own rules again with Kevin.
  • The pranks continued in the house. Michele got sprayed by the sink.
  • Michele approached Jeff asking how she can get back at Natalie and Kevin (for the pranking).
  • Natalie, when pranking or cheating at chess, gets over the top obnoxious dancing around with glee and in your face laughing.
  • I'm thankful she hasn't won any comps. I don't advocate violence, but it would be nice to throw her in the pool or something.
  • Jeff put a glass of water atop the green room door.
  • Natalie caught on, but accused Michele of doing it ... saying she saw her.
  • From then on, the night was full of pranks. Saran Wrap across the toilet, etc.
  • Natalie told Michele that she won't be voting for Jeff to stay and all of her deals with Kevin end tomorrow with the final four.
  • She wants Michele to team up with her to get rid of Kevin this week.
  • Yeah, right.
  • She kept pushing Michele to go into a deal with her.
  • Michele nodded and mumbled a lot, but gave her no commitment.
  • Jeff and Jordan cuddled a lot in bed for his (or her) last night.
  • No, the deed did not go down.

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Through Wednesday 9/02


Just a word of warning -- tomorrow night's live eviction show is going to be delayed in several viewing areas on the East Coast. I know in my particular area (WCBS Channel 2 out of Manhattan, NY), the show will air after the Jets game. Supposedly that will be around 10 PM ET. If you know there is a delay in your area, please feel free to post the schedule changes with the area and station information. I'll probably put up a show blog party post at 8 PM ET, but I have no clue who will actually have the show at that time ... including East Coast feeds sites.

In today's house of fools news:
  • Natalie is having cramps. Oh, poor Natalie. She MUST have a heating pad, BB. And I'm talking NOW.
  • Could it be a ploy to cover if it's a physical challenge for HoH?
  • Jeff and Michele worked on Natalie, assuring her that if Jeff is kept, they'll go after Kevin next week.
  • They also told her she could win HOH.
  • What world are they living in?
  • Natalie told Jeff he's safe.
  • I don't believe her.
  • Jeff shouldn't believe her, either.
  • Jeff and Michele would like to be the final two.
  • I'd like a new large flat screen television. My chances are as good as theirs.
  • Michele told Jordan and Jeff that Kevin's plan all along was to get rid of Jeff.
  • Jordan said that if she stays, she'll try her hardest to win and might do better with the distraction of Jeff being around.
  • Hmmm ... I'm not sure that will make her strong.
  • Jordan told Michele that Natalie told her that if Michele won PoV, she'd be coming after her.
  • Kevin got his HoH camera. They're still looking for the perfect shots in new poses each week.
  • Natalie told Kevin she's going to ask Jeff for his Hawaii trip to vote for him to stay, but then she won't vote for him.
  • Jeff and Jordan packed.
  • Natalie wishes the house stocked TV dinners. Kevin told her that was "so ghetto."
  • I say, but even Natalie can cook one!
  • Jeff has been the culinary expert chef of the season.
  • Natalie told Jordan that Jeff and Michele have both been coming to her with all kinds of ideas to keep Jeff in the game.
  • Jordan was surprised that she said "both" of them.
  • Natalie assured Jordan that Jeff won't be staying.
  • So the spool of lies continues.
  • I think Jeff is a goner tomorrow night.

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Overnight Into Wednesday 9/02


Jordan doesn't seem to care for Jeff bouncing the badminton racquet off the top of her head.

Once again, there's not too much to report here. Here goes nothing (and I mean NOTHING!):
  • BB refused to give them alcohol even though they know they can't have any Wednesday night, the night before the live show.
  • That didn't stop our "minor" Natalie from imbibing.
  • She drank four bottles of Kevin's Mike's Hard Lemonade.
  • While Jeff made a remark about her age, no one pressed the issue.
  • Seriously, hamsters ... if she's only 18, the production staff could not let her drink. Think about it and stop believing her lie!
  • They played cards.
  • Sigh. I hate watching them play cards.
  • I prefer the show buying them dollar store arts and crafts.
  • Jeff told Jordan that if she wants to win, she should stick with Michele over Natalie.
  • Michele and Kevin had a long talk over jury votes. She's still trying to get him to turn on Natalie.
  • I think if Kevin's a smart player, he'll try to get someone else to do the dirty work to get Natalie out next week.
  • No one could beat her with the jury. Yet if he is responsible for the boot, she could turn the jury against him.
  • Natalie told Jordan that she will be voting for her to stay and, if there is a tie, Kevin will keep her.
  • Natalie was obnoxious to Kevin in her drunken overacting. I hope he picks up on this.
  • They all went to bed early.
  • They probably put each other to sleep by being so boring! Nah ... they seemed to have fun a lot of the night, but I prefer action.
  • I leave you with a drunken Natalie. I know. I have a mean streak in me.

Big Brother 11 Through the Day Tuesday 9/01


Earlier today Jordan and Michele spent time race-walking laps around the yard.


While Natalie slept.


But as the evening came on, the houseguests split into pairs and Michele is once again the lone wolf.


Here are the happenings from inside that Big Brother House of Schemin' Demons:
  • I'm sure you noticed that I'm only doing a dawn and night report today, not three reports.
  • That's because this bunch isn't doing ANYTHING!
  • I'm tempted to just post screen caps of them laying about.
  • Well, Natalie could be lying about.
  • ;-)
  • Jordan didn't feel too well this morning. I'm thinking it could be a mix of stress and the wine BB is feeding them at night.
  • Kevin wants to tell Michele that Natalie's acting strange and see if she falls for the bait.
  • Kevin and Natalie talked more about hiding things to make the others think BB was messing with them.
  • They fixed the kitchen sink so it would squirt.
  • It got Jeff. He said they should learn to do the dishes instead of playing pranks.
  • Kevin and Natalie are experimenting cooking on the grill.
  • They can smell the wild fires in the distance and apparently the sky is affected, too. The moon is red. But the main thing I'm picking up on the feeds are a lot more sirens.
  • Natalie plans to drink all of Kevin's Mike's Hard Lemonade tonight.
  • BB should play along with her plan and penalize her for underage drinking.
  • The one season they actually had a 19-year-old on the show, she wasn't allowed to drink at all.
  • That's all I have for you. Someone go poke these folks with a cattle prod, please.

Kevin got the Pandora's Box Mystery Door clue. He chose to stick his hand in the box to release $10,000, screamed, then commercial. As the others collected money, Kevin was ignored with his hand stuck in the box. Jeff finally released him with the key he found. They each collected cash from the yard

Michele wins POV. She saved herself and Kevin put Jordan in her place.

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Into Tuesday Dawn 9/01


Natalie plays solitaire as the rest of the house sleeps. I know I've been anti-Natalie throughout the season, but I can't help it. I realize a lot of it is because I don't like how she's been playing the game -- glomming off power players. But there's something else:
  • She's mean. Yep, you heard me.
  • Her latest scheme is to rattle Michele so that she won't do well in the HOH comp -- sabotage her emotionally.
  • She laughs when Michele cries and knows that Michele has been struggling with her emotions.
  • Natalie is a bully.
  • She also wants Kevin to be mean.
  • She wants him to lead Jeff on during Thursday night, then evict him.

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Into Monday Evening 8/31


Natalie says that 95% of the time (pre-BB house) her diet consists of fast food. Why am I not surprised?

Since my last report, they've mainly been napping. But BB finally gave them the figures for the Pandora's Box:
  • Jeff $3,181, nothing extra for finding the key
  • Kevin $626
  • Michele $2,563
  • Natalie $1,900
  • I didn't catch Jordan's winnings.
  • Natalie was thinking the $750 a week stipend was net, not gross.
  • Natalie, I'd like you to meet Richard Hatch.
That's it for now. Short and sweet. Well, sweet unless you think of Natalie shoveling food in and chewing with her mouth open. Oh ... and why is Natalie wearing Kevin's hoodie he got in his HOH basket o' goodies? Moocher!

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Monday Daytime - PoV Meeting 8/31


Hmmm ... I can't think of anything witty or clever to say about this bunch. They're not a witty and clever group of hamsters. Um. Um. Here are the events from inside that Big Brother House of Unfulfilled Potential:
  • Natalie told Michele that she (Natalie) won't be keeping Jeff -- she'll be keeping her word to Kevin.
  • However, Natalie went on to say that neither of them (Michele and Natalie) would have a chance to win in the final two with Kevin.
  • Natalie denied having a final two deal with Kevin.
  • Michele told Natalie she'd rather see Jeff go at the final three.
  • Natalie admitted to Michele that she hasn't been giving 100% during comps but now will give 110%.
  • I bet she still can't win comps.
  • Michele said she'd be willing to get Kevin out next week because he went back on his word this week.
  • The hamsters can smell the smoke from the wildfires.
  • Jeff and Jordan are working to get Michele to use the veto to take Jeff off the block.
  • Jeff told Michele she'd have his vote to stay but he couldn't guarantee what Natalie and Kevin would do.
  • Like Michele is stupid enough not to save herself with the veto.
  • Wait.
  • Is she falling for it?
  • Oh my ... it seems so.
  • Or, is she just acting like she's playing along?
  • Jeff believes Kevin is targeting Natalie with the save Jeff plan and is disgusted that Kevin is betraying Natalie (as he betrayed him).
  • Then the feeds got blocked and the veto ceremony went down.
  • Michele's no fool. She saved herself.
  • Jeff and Jordan are now on the block.
  • Jordan cried.
  • Jeff and Jordan said that Casey and themselves are the only ones who came to the game to make friends. Everyone else is all about the money.
  • Um. I can make friends without being ridiculed on Internet feeds, a national television show, and mocked on message boards everywhere. Go on the show to make friends? Feh.
  • It's all about the money.
  • Now Jordan wants to quit.
  • Natalie (for once) offered good advice, telling her that's not the way to go.
  • Jordan is sure that Jeff will go this week, she'll go next.
  • I don't think so. I think Natalie and Kevin will try to get Michele out next because she's the one most likely to win a comp.

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Overnight Into Monday 8/31


Yikes, they're snacking again! Not only will they gain weight, but it's really annoying listening to them chomp and chew all the time. Here are the evening's happenings from inside that Big Brother House of Oral Fixations:
  • Natalie told Kevin not to bother talking to Jeff anymore -- he's going home.
  • Jeff told Jordan that Michele was lying about everything. They think she's losing it.
  • Michele had been crying again. It's got to be rough being alone, but she's a stronger competitor than either Jordan or Natalie, for sure.
  • BB gave them alcohol again. Sheesh, I swear the show wants to create alcoholics. Who drinks booze every night?
  • Natalie said the day they entered the house, BB did her make-up for her.
  • Jordan thinks she can talk Natalie into keeping Jeff.
  • Jordan is still willing to give up her chance to win for her man Jeff.
  • Jeff and Jordan think they'll both wear black for the eviction.
  • Jeff wondered if there's more to the Pandora's Box and the key he found.
  • BB hasn't told them the money amounts or what the key means.
  • Kevin and Natalie plan to team up with Jordan after Jeff leaves.
  • After they get Michele out, they'll target Jordan and be the final two.
  • That's their plan.
  • Michele may just muck it all up. She's a very determined woman.

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Through Sunday 8/30


Jordan is wearing a New York shirt. I bet she's never been to New York City. It would be a hoot to see her reactions to the city.


Basically a whole lot of nothing happened today. Here's the scoop:
  • Jeff and Jordan are pretty resigned that Jeff will go home.
  • Jeff is bitter about it and warned Jordan not to trust either Natalie or Kevin as he's sure they're playing her too.
  • Michele is much more stable and doesn't need to cry. She has the power ... until Thursday when hell starts all over again.
  • Jeff doesn't think Jordan can trust Michele either.
  • They slept a lot.
  • Kevin thinks Jeff has to go because he'd be after him (Kevin) if he stays.
  • Jordan and Kevin both think they're about the same with the jury votes.
  • Kevin thinks that Natalie has lots of jury votes.
  • They're all going to gain more weight if they keep eating and sleeping all the time.
  • Natalie and Kevin think Jeff is doing himself in with his behavior. Both talk about he could save himself. I honestly don't see either of them keeping him, do you?
  • I think they're upset that he's not sucking up to them.
  • If I were Jeff, I probably wouldn't be sucking up to them either. That way, when they stab you in the back, it's not as traumatic.
  • On a side note, there have been lots of sirens around the BB house yesterday and today.

Kevin wins HOH and deserves the win!

Kevin told Jeff he has to put him and Michele on the block. If he puts Michele and Jordan on the block, Jeff wins PoV, he'd have to put Natalie up and doesn't want to do that. He assured Jeff he'd be safe.

Nominations -- Key order -- Natalie, Jordan

Jeff and Michele nominated because it's strategic, not personal ... they're the two strongest players.

Survivor: Samoa Begins September 17

Although we're still very tied up with Big Brother and the live feeds, I feel I've been remiss not to mention that CBS has the new castaways on the Survivor: Samoa website.

As I have time, yet before the season starts, I'll be doing a breakdown on my thoughts of this latest group. It looks like an interesting bunch and there sure are a lot of them -- 20. Yikes! I can't help but wonder with that number if it's going to be multiples going home right in the beginning.

I'm including a video here with Jeff Probst's first impressions of the castaways. Now, keep in mind that this (supposedly) was shot in the beginning of the season and he had no clue who made it to the final two. Or three, whatever they're going to do this year.



Survivors ready?

Off Topic: That Was the Week It Was 8/30/09

Yes, it's Sunday. You know what that means -- it's time for my off topic ramble through the week in thoughts and photographs I've taken. If you're looking for Big Brother 11 news, head to the BB blog tag. If you want to take a walk with me, stay right here.

We've had yet another week of muggy and often stormy weather. Even on the days when the temperatures were fairly low, the humidity was right up there. I want it to end. I want crisp clear autumn weather ... and I want it now. Do you think that will work?

I really don't have any excitement for you. I, once again, didn't win the Mega Millions. But I did only spend a dollar on each big jackpot. I suppose that made the odds go way against me. However, I didn't want to throw away more than a dollar on it. You see, I'd never be a good one to go to Atlantic City or Las Vegas. It bothers me to throw away money.

I worked all week as I'm wont to do. My life outside the day job is still tied up with all the Big Brother doings. While I enjoy the excitement in the blog and the freelance TV Squad writings during the live feeds, I'm always ready for them to end when it comes time. More than four or five hours sleep is so welcome.

While I'm here and off topic, I want to give a shout out to Bernice of the Plainfield Plaintalker and Dan Damon of Plainfield Today and Clips. Thanks go to Bernice for bringing up my blog once again. Thanks go to Dan for adding my link to his Clips blog. You both rock! Although my own blog tends to focus on television, I always read those blogs to find out what's going on in the city around me. I find this city very interesting and a friendly place in which to live. Plainfield often seems to have a bad reputation, but it's a place where almost everyone greets me with a friendly hello when I'm walking on the sidewalk. That just doesn't happen everywhere.

Onto the photos for the week - clicking on them will open them larger in a new window:



Feral cat at the Plainfield (NJ) Train Station

He looks hefty in this photo, but he's pretty thin when he stands. This one, or one who looks like him, has been around for more than a year. I feel sorry for him, but he doesn't trust people at all.


A slice of sky

Plainfield Train Station with a double-decker in port. Um ... in track. Something like that. At least the rain stopped for a few minutes.


Is it autumn yet?

The poison ivy in Bridgewater (NJ) is starting to pick up its first hint of fall color. That is, the leaves not attacked by the poison ivy leaf gall mite.


Same bees, new flowers

The flowers the carpenter bees were on last week have passed, so they're on these now. I was taking shots as it started to rain and the bees started to come after me like it was my fault that it was raining. Eek!


Planning to overthrow democracy

I know they're up to something. Something sinister would be my guess. Bridgewater, NJ.


Moth in the wind

I haven't seen too many butterflies this year. It should be Monarch season soon. However, this yellow moth was willing to pose for me until the wind flapped its wing. That irked it and it flew away.


It IS a stinkhorn!

I was reluctant to outright declare the shot I took in last week's post as a stinkhorn mushroom as the colors weren't just right. I took this shot earlier in the week this week and the colors match the website information I found. Supposedly the tip smells like carrion. I'll take their word for it.


The stinkhorns yesterday

They droop over next. Minds, gutter ... I know.


Scott Drugs in Plainfield

I used the illustrator mode plus sepia in this photo. It's too bad they misspelled "neighborhood" on the awning, eh? I believe that's been there, misspelled as it is, since I moved to town eight years ago.


Waiting on a train

Bound Brook Train Station, New Jersey


Eek! A spider!

This little guy (maybe a half-inch) was zooming around building a web. I took dozens of shots, but in most he was just an orange/red blur. Such a busy guy ... he makes the ant look lazy.


Now defunct Telephone Building in Plainfield

I imagine at one time this building was full of Ernestines. Nowadays, the front doors are padlocked. I can't help but wonder what this town was like 70 years ago.

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Into Dawn Sunday 8/30




They spent most of the day comatose and now they're up most the night again. Not helping matters is that BB gave them alcohol once again. In a way, the Natalie age lie keeps her from imbibing and she's often the straightest thinker on alcohol nights. Occasionally she slips and drinks, but Natalie doesn't get drunk. I think all BB hamsters should take a clue from that -- why do they go ahead and get drunk? Loose lips sink ships!

Here's the latest from that Big Brother House of Smoke and Mirrors:
  • Smoke and mirrors describes the night well. Schemes and dreams could do it, too.
  • Jordan, forgetting that she is trying to win a half million dollars to help her family as well as herself, is willing to blow it all for Jeff to stay in the game.
  • Jeff, on the other hand, doesn't want Jordan to ruin her own chances in the game. Yay, Jeff.
  • Natalie is the one most antsy trying to find out how much money the hamsters won in the Pandora Box yesterday.
  • BB ain't tellin'.
  • Jeff says he really can't trust Kevin again because he broke his word and put him on the block.
  • Jeff broke his word and put Russell on the block.
  • Jeff admits that it's a game and he got got. But he won't trust Kevin again nonetheless.
  • He shouldn't have trusted Kevin and Natalie in the first place!
  • However, Jeff still trusts Natalie, as does Jordan.
  • Ack. Fools and their money will soon part.
  • But do Natalie and Kevin dislike Michele more?
  • Jeff can't think of a scenario in which he can make it through this week.
  • Yet, there are schemes.
  • Jordan is willing to go home in his place.
  • Natalie, Kevin, and Jordan came up with a new scheme -- Kevin will "betray" Natalie. He'll get Michele to use the veto to save Jeff and promise to put Natalie in his place on the block with Michele. He will trash talk Natalie and convince her that he wants her out.
  • Then they'll vote out Michele.
  • I don't think that Michele is that dumb. I doubt she'll fall for it.
  • Michele is acting like she wants Jeff to stay. She told Kevin she wants him to stay.
  • But who can tell with her?
  • Michele knows that of the people left, Natalie would be her most likely adversary.
  • But no one is close to her in the house still ... near the end of the season and no one can really declare her as a friend.
  • Meanwhile, Jordan has really worked herself in well with Kevin and Natalie.
  • I think they'd like her in the final three, but boot her before the final two because she's too popular with everyone. No one wants her against them with the jury.
  • No one has approached Michele with the latest scheme yet.
  • They're muddled with alcohol.
  • I'm muddled with all the schemes and dreams, smoke and mirrors.
  • We'll see what happens, but I can't think of Michele pulling a Marcellas.
  • Jeff himself thinks it's pointless to try.
  • Jordan and Natalie think Jeff should flirt with Michele.
  • If Natalie and Kevin do this, one of them deserve to win ... even if they save Jeff.
  • Whether it's better for Jeff or Michele to leave for them, I don't know. Jeff is a strong player, but he's predictable. Michele is proving herself a strong player, but is very unpredictable and a lone wolf.
  • Then again, going against Michele in the final two might be a guaranteed win for anyone. Going against Jeff may be a bit trickier.
  • I just don't know.

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Saturday Daytime 8/29

Scroll down.
There. That's as exciting as it gets.

I think today has been the dullest day ever in the house. Well, sometimes when they have that silly extended stay time with the final two, maybe that's worse. I'm basically posting this so you don't think I forgot about you.

Here's the latest from the Big Brother House of Snoozing Losers:
  • Jeff is dreading going to the jury house with the people he evicted and watching [bleeping] movies and [bleep].
  • Jeff doesn't want to campaign to stay because it would mean Jordan goes home.
  • We need to remind ourselves that the veto meeting hasn't happened yet.
  • But I don't see Michele pulling a Marcellas.
  • Natalie mentioned how often Michele goes to the bathroom. (I told you there's nothing happening!)
  • Jeff told Jordan that Michele has no reason to save him.
  • Kevin thinks Michele needs to go next because she's a strong player and not to be trusted.
  • If Michele is HOH and Kevin or Natalie win veto, they would get Jordan out.
  • Well, duh.
  • Natalie thinks she could beat Michele in a comp.
  • Yeah, right.
  • Jeff isn't really talking to anyone but Jordan and no one is talking to him ... but Jordan.
  • He drank an entire bottle of wine last night and probably is feeling that a bit, too.
  • They're all napping except Michele. She's staring off into space.
  • Um, okay. I must stare into space now.

Big Brother 11 Live Feeds Into Saturday Dawn - POV - 8/29


There are aliens in the mirrors.


After a night during which the feeds were blocked a good portion, the power of veto comp is over. And, look who's wearing the necklace -- Michele. Now, all of a sudden, Natalie and Kevin are her new best friends. It was an odd evening before the feeds block. Here's how everything went down:
  • They ate together, but separately bashed each other. Kevin and Natalie bashed Michele and Jordan/Jeff dependent on occasion. Jeff and Jordan bashed Michele.
  • All in all, there are two distinct camps -- Kevin/Natalie and Jordan/Jeff. Michele is a lone wolf and no one really has her figured out. She has different tales for whomever is listening and no one really knows her at all.
  • Then came the aliens. We've seen this before. Jordan spotted one first in the mirror in the kitchen while Michele was washing dishes.
  • Jordan thought it was funny, not scary. Michele didn't quite believe her.
  • That is, until Michele went to the bathroom. When she saw the face in the mirror, she laughed and said it was amusing.
  • There was another one in the splish splash room and yet another one appeared in the HOH room as Jordan tried to tell Kevin and Natalie about them.
  • Kevin seemed to think they're a bit creepy but just about everyone else think they're funny.
  • Kevin thinks they opened Pandora's Box in the earlier not-a-luxury comp in the yard -- now evil will unleash.
  • They were told it would be a midnight PoV.
  • So there was a scurry of studying.
  • Michele and Jeff clashed. She said he called her a liar and made her look bad in the Pandora's Box.
  • He said it was because he thought she was lying.
  • Michele cried.
  • She muttered to herself that she hates him. I think the latest him is Jeff, not Russell.
  • Jeff and Jordan think Michele is going crazy and that it's funny.
  • Jeff (once again) told Jordan how important it is to focus.
  • For some odd reason, all of the others think Michele knows what's behind the Pandora's Box story and just isn't telling them.
  • They were getting clues in the Diary Room for something.
  • Jordan assured Jeff that Natalie told her the plan is to get Michele out of the house.
  • Michele told Natalie that her (Natalie) performance in the last HOH was so horrible she had to throw it. Natalie denied throwing the comp.
  • Finally, when pressured, Natalie just said, "Okay, I threw it." I think she did it to shut Michele up.
  • Then the PoV went down, so did the feeds.
  • From what they're saying, it sounds like the face morphing comp again.
  • Michele to America, "Your boyfriend is going home."
  • Michele told Natalie and Kevin that her plan all along was to take out Jeff and Jordan.
  • Michele, Kevin, and Natalie all say they have to get Jordan out of the house before the final three as she would win the jury vote over them.
  • Natalie is sure she will win HOH next week. Yeah, right.
  • Jordan told Natalie that she's willing to go home instead of Jeff this week.
  • Oh my.
  • Natalie told Jordan that if she wants her to vote her out, she will.
  • I doubt she will if she has the chance to get Jeff out.
  • Jeff found out Jordan was campaigning to leave over him and told her to stop it.
  • He told her she was the sweetest girl in the world.
  • Jeff admitted he got too cocky and said that Kevin's move to put him on the block was the right move for Kevin.
  • Jeff is sure he will be evicted this week.
  • I personally don't see any other scenario myself.
