Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Saturday Evening 8/20

My eye candy boy

I realize I already posted the winner of the Power of Veto. However, I need to get you up to snuff with what's been happening in that Big Brother House of Indecision since my last full update. So, this starts with last night ...

• Rachel's good behavior lasted all of one day.
• As night fell and booze arrived, she reverted back into The Bad Seed.
• Now I know many think Daniele is a mean girl. I personally don't. I think she's been stepping up and playing the game, albeit with some foolish errors on her part.
• Rachel is the true mean girl.
• She kept harassing Daniele, asking for all of her old HoH treats (which Daniele said she could have), rubbing it in about her birthday as a Have Not, talking about when she turned 25 (last year), repeatedly asking Daniele what was wrong and why she seemed so quiet. Was she depressed?
• When Daniele, who gave very little reaction, went to the backyard, Rachel stood there for a moment with her death glare eyes reminding me of Billy Mumy in the old Twilight Zone episode wishing people to the cornfield.
• Then she followed Daniele out there.
• When Daniele went back inside, Jordan snapped at her to stop it.
• Rachel gave her annoying little giggle.
• Sigh.
• Meanwhile, everyone in the house either saw or heard of the incident.
• Shelly is still on her anti-Rachel wagon although she's agreed to work with her for Jeff and Jordan.
• Shelly, Kalia and Daniele giggled and giggled about the thought of cutting off the foot of Rachel's (still hidden) stuffed dog and putting it on her pillow.
• I don't think I'm mean. But that would be funny!
• I guess I'm mean.
• Thankfully the alcohol conked Rachel out.
• Kalia made Daniele a crown and sash and the crowd sung "For She's a Jolly Good Fellow" -- royalties free, of course.
• BB told them that birthdays are celebrated on Sundays only. So something should happen tomorrow, too.
• The other big celebration of the night was Jordan's humilitard.
• No, she didn't put on a strip show like Adam did with his elf suit.
• Eventually came morning ... then later morning ... as they were in indoor lockdown with lots of construction noise in the yard.
• Finally, after lots of scenario thinking and an extended feeds block, the feeds returned with Jeff the winner of PoV.
• It was a puzzle.
• Jordan says she couldn't get even one piece done.
• That (stupid) Zingbot was there.
• They can retire that idiocy at any time, please.
• Since then, in between eating, working out, non-game talk ... it's hard to say what Jeff is going to do.
• He's definitely not sure he'll use it.
• If he doesn't, the target would be Kalia because she's sneakier.
• If he does, Daniele will be backdoored.
• Shelly still hates Rachel.
• Kalia still hates Rachel, yet had a long pleasant civil talk with her.
• When you're on the block, you do what you have to do.
• But Kalia SERIOUSLY needs to stop pulling on her hair, then throwing loose strands all over the floor wherever she may be.
• I cringe each time I see her do that.
• The veto meeting isn't until Monday.
• Who knows what could go down between now and then?
  

A crown and a sash for her 25th.

Cruddy has a chubby dance

Jordan finally got out of the humilitard

At least hard-boiled eggs don't crunch

Big Brother 13 PoV Bulletin

I'll be posting a full report later tonight, but need to get this out there:

Jeff won the Power of Veto

It was some sort of puzzle.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Friday Evening (inc. noms) 8/19

A content Big Jeff

It was a busy busy day for those little hamsters spinning in their little wheels. Let's get right into it! Here's what happened today in that Big Brother House of Maladjusted Mutant Ninja Hamsters:

• All of them are paying the price for their HoH comp workout last night.
• Better them than me. An ambulance would have hauled me out early in that one!
• Even the backyard is still suffering with suds here and there.
• At least BB didn't put them through the rigors of a tough Have/Have Not comp atop their aches and pains from the HoH comp.
• What happened this time is that BB had an outdoor lockdown.
• When they went inside ... lo and behold ... hard boiled eggs and jalapenos abounded!
• Those, of course, were America's choice.
• I was kind of hoping they'd get that funky fruit, durian.
• Jeff had a card from BB, He started to read and the feeds cut down.
• After a very short feeds cut, they came back and Daniele, Porsche and Kalia are the Have Nots for the week.
• Daniele took being on slop well, especially considering it's her birthday tomorrow.
• BB does usually let Have Not birthday people have cake and ice cream.
• None of the three think it's fair that Jeff just chose them and there was no competition.
• Neither Daniele nor Kalia will eat the jalapenos.
• Nor would I.
• Jeff laid down the word with Kalia. Without coming out and saying he was putting her up, he reminded he that he had told her before that if she put him up, he'd put her up.
• She acted very calm yet concerned.
• In the talk, she threw Rachel under the bus for doubledealing with "the other side."
  
• Then she went into the Have Not room and cried.
• After another outdoor lockdown ... voila! A smaller table!
• Kalia fussed about Jordan not having on her humilitard for four hours while sunning.
• Adam kept his on all the time.
• Adam doesn't sun.
• Nor does Jackie, but that's for another forum.
• Jeff had a talk with Daniele telling her that he was keeping his word and not putting her on the block, but not to use the veto.
• She said she wouldn't.
• Yeah, right.
• Jeff believes her as much as I do.
• Yet another feeds block for the nominations ... and back ... and what a shocker!
• Jeff put JORDAN on the block!
• Okay, just messing with you.
• Kalia and Porsche are nominated for eviction.
• There will be seven veto players tomorrow because Daniele is playing with her ticket.
• She actually doesn't want to win and thus wouldn't have the dilemma of using it or not.
  
• But if someone else wins and uses it, she knows she could be backdoored.
• After yet another feeds block, the PoV players were revealed.
• Everyone is playing except for Rachel. Rachel is hosting.
• That's where we stand ...

Oh ... an additional note I forgot to mention:
While Julie is acting like the double eviction will be such a shock for the hamsters, it won't be. No, production didn't tell them. They had already figured it out by tracking the weeks -- the schedule is way too predictable. BB should have flung it on them the second week or something to throw all their comp tracking awry.

This time BB actually trusts Rachel with a knife.
(Last time they took it away as she
was stabbing the coconuts.)

Very concerned

Who's that in the Have Not room wearing a sombrero?

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Friday Morning 8/19

A new HoH is in town

If you missed the previous post, Jeff won HoH with Porsche most likely in second. Here's what's been happening since inside that Big Brother House of Sudsy Duds:

• The soap has been taking its toll on the hamsters -- Shelly has a possible allergic reaction rash, Adam's voice is even more hoarse than it usually is and everyone is saying their eyes burn.
• I didn't mention it in the post last night, but Daniele kept running with bottles of water and towels for all the others.
• That was nice and needs to be mentioned.
• For her first night alone, Rachel held up quite well compared to the last time.
• That is until she spent half the night roaming around looking for her lost stuffed dog wearing her sad eyes.
  
• Shelly told Rachel if they were going to have to work together the looks and rolling eyes need to stop.
• Then she said it about a half-dozen more times.
• This was in front of Jeff and Jordan.
• Rachel, amazingly, remained quiet and didn't give her death glare.
• In his HoH room, Jeff got a Bob Marley CD , a drawing with words from his 6-year-old niece (which brought out the question "Who's Brown Spots?" much too long), a basket of goodies, a letter from his brother.
• A first, the HoH robe is a plush grey one and the slippers are black.
• Which led to an odd racial discussion later on when Adam called the slippers "blackies" in front of Kalia.
• I know Kalia's point because I've written for an internet audience for so many years.
• People tend to pick up on something like that to twist things to racism. But, geez.
• Jeff told Jordan she should have covered her cup in the comp.
• He made her feel bad. :-(
• As for the nominations, Jeff keeps toying with a combination of the three -- Kalia, Daniele and Porsche.
• They assume Daniele will play veto as she has the pass.
• He'd like to act like he was keeping his deal with Daniele telling her he was going to put up floaters -- Kalia and Porsche -- and not her IF she doesn't save one them winning the veto.
• @@
• Of course, if Kalia and Porsche are on the block, if Daniele takes one down, Jeff has to put up one of his group.
• Wouldn't really matter as they have the votes now.
• Unless he put up Rachel! I bet a lot of people would abandon ship then!
• But that's not going to happen. He won't be putting up Rachel.
  

Adam deliberately looking weird because he is a tad off.

Rachel looking weird just because she's Rachel.

And the cheese stands alone.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds -- HoH Comp Updates

11:20 PM -- Feeds briefly back to hear Daniele declare Jeff the new HoH, feeds gone again. When they came back, it was smokers to the corner as they'll be in lockdown while BB puts the backyard right once again.

11:12 PM ET - Feeds blocked. Jeff was probably less than two inches to the top, no one else really close.

Jeff has a definite lead. I think it's his football background. The girls carry the cups delicately. He's packing his like a football and sliding the last ten feet to the bowl. Went into a feeds block again. 11:09 PM ET -- feeds back only 2 minutes this time.

11:00 PM ET screen cap above

10:55 PM ET -- Waist-deep in suds.

10:48 PM ET - Feeds back, nothing's really changed. I'd like to know why Shelly's is the only one with foam.

Into an unexplained feeds block. Earlier Jeff was hacking as he inhaled foam. But nothing set this off. Maybe BB is upping the ante ...

10:37 PM ET above

10:23 PM ET feeds shot above

10:08 PM feeds screen shot above

10:04 PM ET -- Feeds are back, everyone looks pretty even.

Big Brother 13 Live Eviction/HoH Show Blog Party 8/18

I'm still not quite back to snuff, but I want to thank everyone for their well-wishes both here and on Facebook. You guys rock. And I am getting better day by day!

The show is about to start here on the East Coast. As it airs, I'll update this entry with major events. But the real fun is in the comments and I hope you all join in!

Nominee speech time -- Shelly: crazy week, nice to all. Brendon: UCLA and cancer research mention, potential vote, competitor.

The votes to evict:
Rachel -- Shelly
Kalia -- Brendon
Commercial break
Porsche -- Brendon
Adam -- Brendon
Jeff -- Brendon
Jordan -- Brendon

Bye bye Brendon, stay gone!

HoH Comp -- All Washed Up - slip and slide thing, one cup of liquid soap each trip, fill container. Definitely will last past show end.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Update Thursday August 18

First, I really want to thank everyone for hanging in with me. I'm not quite 100% for sure, but should be able to spend a little time here at the keyboard. I cannot believe how sick I was. Gah! But enough of that ... I want you spoilers lovers to be up to date on things as you never know how they'll be edited.

• The vote tonight should be five to one for Brendon to leave.
• There was a big brouhaha (no fisticuffs or other violence) between Brenchel and Jordan and Brenchel and Jeff yesterday about it.
• Jeff and Jordan will be voting for Brendon to go as their votes won't save him. All voting to save him would do is make Daniele, Kalia and Shelly mad at them.
• They told Brendon and Rachel the truth -- he doesn't have the votes to stay. Adam is the swing vote. If they can get him, they'll vote to keep him.
• But they know that won't happen.
• Brendon and Rachel fussed and pouted, telling Jeff and Jordan that they'd vote to keep them no matter what.
• We know different.
• While I don't think Daniele told Jeff and Jordan about Brendon and Rachel throwing them under the bus, they know that the throws have been happening.
• Jeff and Jordan aren't dumb.
• Jordan confronted Rachel about her attitude.
• Jeff confronted Rachel about her attitude.
• While separate, these confrontations were consecutive.
• It was very entertaining.
• At one point Jordan made the "mistake" of saying how she had to babysit Rachel all last week.
• Rachel blew up.
• Jeff said that he has bitten his tongue so much when talking with her that he has no tongue left.
• "I can't even taste anything anymore!"
• The lockdown started last night and today itself has been uneventful.
• They're thinking it might be endurance.
• I kind of hope not -- I'd feel better if they did that next week!
• Please stop back for the blog party post!
  

Big Brother 13 Aug. 17 PoV Show Blog Party

My apologies to all for my absence -- I had a severe stomach virus which has still got me a bit down.

The show is about to start here on the east coast. As it airs, I'll update this post with major events. However, the real fun is in the comments. I hope to see you there!

Adam won the PoV. Daniele told Jeff he's safe, plan is to backdoor Brendon.

Adam saved himself, Brendon is on the block.

Big Brother 12 Aug. 14 HoH/Nominations Show Blog Party

The show is delayed here on the East Coast, but I setting this up to post at 8 PM ET. I'm feeling quite sick tonight and won't be able to update the post as the show airs. I ask all to update in the comments section!

Off Topic - That Was the Week It Was - August 14, 2011

It's Sunday morning, time for my weekly off television topic trip through the week gone by in both words and photos I've taken. If you're looking for the latest Big Brother 13 news, check out the post before this one. Nothing earth-shattering has happened since I posted that -- I still don't really know what Daniele will do.

Sigh. This has not been a good week with the knee replacement recovery. I had recovered (I thought) from straining the quad muscle a couple of weeks ago. Maybe not so much.

In physical therapy on Tuesday, while doing a balance exercise and having had the best day ever in PT ... it happened. My new knee actually bent backwards with a loud pop and I crumbled to the floor. The pain was the most intense pain I've ever had in my life. I was sure, at the least, that my leg was broken.

After getting caught in torrential thunderstorms on the way home, the knee swelled almost double. I could put weight on it, but it was very unstable. It kept feeling like it was going to go backwards again.

With both crutches (sigh), I went to my orthopedic surgeon on Wednesday. He did the tendon tests to make sure they were okay and put me through a series of x-rays. I was very scared that where the femur was drilled and the spike for the implant was might have broken as the pain is mostly above the knee and in the thigh. But the x-rays were negative, good!

He told me to ice, elevate, don't go to PT and to return on Monday. He also put the leg in an immobilizer for stability. He thinks that I had a patella subluxation -- which is roughly a partial dislocation of the kneecap. When I looked it up online, the first article scared me to death -- saying it was the most common cause for a failed knee replacement. GAH!

But, while my doctor seemed very concerned, he seemed to be just as sure that with time and rest, the knee will be back to normal. And, in reading more sites, it sounds like repeated subluxation is the failure cause. I guess I'll see. I walked to the local bodega with one crutch and no immobilizer yesterday. The knee is still acting unstable, but I was very slow and careful.

With the additional pain, I started taking more pain meds. So now my stomach is all whacky once again. It really hasn't been a good week. Yet I did get some decent photos! Clicking on an image will open it larger in a new window ...

When it pours

I no sooner left PT in agony on Tuesday and a tremendous thunderstorm hit with torrential street flooding rainfall. I took shelter in the gazebo for a while. Scotch Plains.

Bored in the rain

Rainy day cleaners

Flying mice!

I swear these carpenter bees were the size of flying mice! Bound Brook.

HUGE mushroom

This was also on Maple Street in Bound Brook on Wednesday as I went to the doctor's office.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Bulletin - PoV

Jordan has to wear this

Lawon left his wig behind
Adam doesn't have to wear this.

After a very long feeds block, they came back on to Kalia, Porsche, Jeff and Adam playing a game of 20 Questions about celebrities. @@

Finally two cameras went to Brendon and Rachel. They are SO not happy. From the whisperings, it sounds like Jordan has to wear an outfit and Jeff seems to have won money. Brendon and Rachel are wondering what sort of deal Jeff and Jordan have with Daniele because she doesn't want to put Jeff up. Neither Shelly nor Daniele have been on camera since the feeds returned.

Okay, there's Shelly all alone in the have not room eating a roll or donut. She doesn't look happy. Looks like she got solitary confinement as there's a toilet set-up behind a curtain.

Adam told Jordan that Daniele told him Jeff would be safe when there were three left in the comp. AHA! Finally, an hour and a half after the feeds return, Jordan said something to the effect of, "Who do you think she'll put up when you take yourself off the block?"

:::collapse:::

Adam won the Power of Veto.

Shelly has the phone call from home after her solitary.
Daniele has a veto ticket allowing her to play in next week's PoV.
Kalia has a Caribbean trip.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Through Saturday Morning 8/13

Phillip

Sure, I like drama. You know I enjoy a good brouhaha. However, one thing folks who don't have the live feeds don't realize -- while we have four separate camera views, it might just as well be two (sometimes one!). Feeds 1 & 2 are usually just two different angles of the same location, with 3 & 4 covering a different location.

Into the night last night after nominations, we could have had four cameras on four different tiffs at times! I had to use the flashback option to go back and find things I missed. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of All Heck Breaks Loose:

• Okay, Daniele did nominate Shelly and Adam, telling them that she wants the veto used to backdoor Brendon.
• Daniele has said before that she doesn't like the backdoor bit as the person never gets a chance to stay.
• Daniele has deals with both Jordan and Jeff and Brendon and Rachel -- separate deals, that is.
• I'm honestly not sure which deal she's sticking to. She even told Kalia the backdoor Brendon bit.
• At this time, if the veto saves someone, I think only Daniele knows what she'll do.
  
• If the veto isn't used, it looks like Shelly is history.
• After nominations, all heck broke out.
• Rachel, now that she has her bestest fiance in the world back at her beckon and cry, threw everyone under the bus.
• She said Jeff was mean to her, Shelly was running around telling every conversation they had to the other side and no one helped her.
• That's after me watching HOURS of Jeff and Jordan (and sometimes Shelly) consoling and catering to Rachel's mentally unstable behaviors last week!
• Jordan once again pushed for a "house meeting." I don't know why she keeps suggesting those things. Of course, as a feeds watcher, I like them because they usually turn into screaming matches.
• But, as a hamster, they just tend to stir up more problems.
• As this one did.
• Rachel kept screaming at Shelly and it got to the point where even Brendon wouldn't support her in her exaggerations and sometimes outright lies.
• Shelly screamed back.
• Jeff lit into Jordan calling her dumb for calling the meeting.
• :-( So not nice, Jeff!
• Rachel went running around to everyone saying how she's been telling everyone for three weeks that Shelly has been playing both sides of the house.
• She's right, but I really didn't need to hear her say it 756 times!
• Shelly freaked. Shelly cried. Shelly wanted to quit.
• "I've always just tried to help these girls," Shelly cried.
• Well, it's one thing to clean things and offer worldly advice, but Shelly does take things too far.
• Neither Porsche nor Rachel need to be told by her that they need to wear something so their "hoo-hahs" don't show.
• Darn it, Shelly ... they obviously WANT to be exhibitionists! Leave them alone about that stuff. If they want to look like tramps, let 'em. No skin off your nose!
• You can play the 42-year-old mommy card without giving them that advice.
• The only comedy relief of the night was the new houseguest Phillip.
• Okay, Phillip is only Adam wearing Woody Allen-esque eyeglasses.
• Actually the character itself is a neurotic, OCD, weirdo momma's boy ... kind of like an old Woody Allen movie character.
• Another fight(ish) started when Brendon and Rachel wanted Porsche's bed. She's had the same bed all season and doesn't want to give it up.
• Kalia doesn't think it fair to be asked to give her bed to them either.
• Face it, Brenchel ... no one wants your bodily fluids in their bed!
• No one is on slop this week, no food comp.
• The veto players were picked: Daniele, Shelly, Adam, Jeff, Jordan and Kalia.
• Brendon and Rachel are very upset that their names weren't picked.
• They, Adam and Daniele think it's odd that Jeff and Jordan or, at least Jeff, have played in every veto comp so far.
• Right now, the veto competition hasn't started.
• I'll let you know when I know.
  

Shelly's 19th nervous breakdown

Jeff complains that California is cold.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Friday August 12 (Nominations!)

Big Brother doesn't let Daniele into her HoH room.

It's been quite a day in the house. I'm not feeling too well, so this is going to be a real abbreviated list o' happenings. Yet, I've watched just about all the conversations and, as of right now, I'm a bit dismayed as I get this typed up during the feeds block for nominations. Here's the skinny from inside that Big Brother House of Drinking the Kool-Aid:

• Before last night's HoH, Rachel and Brendon (as well as most of the house) were loud and boisterous about Brendon's return.
• Of course, Kalia and Daniele (and to a much less extent, Porsche) knew they were in deep doo-doo.
• Then Daniele won the HoH and the tables turned once again.
• Today a lot of the talks were Shelly Mojo talks -- she talked with Daniele and Kalia, getting into a minor brouhaha with Kalia.
• Daniele and Shelly spoke alone, all came up hunky-dory.
• Shelly and Kalia talked alone, all ended up not only hunky-dory, but peachy-keen.
• They hugged and cried.
  
• Of course, everyone is pleading their case to stay to Daniele.
• That goes without saying.
• So I just typed it and didn't say it out loud.
• Then, Shelly even worked some of her mojo on Porsche.
• Remember Porsche? Yeah, she's still lurking about the house being for the most part a non-entity.
• Jeff's meeting with Daniele was the only brief one. He brought her into the Have Not room, said, "We still on?" Daniele told him, "Yes!" They bumped fists and split.
• Then came Brendon and Rachel.
• Sigh.
• Daniele at first kept not committing to deals they were proposing.
• After all, they're her main targets.
• What they're proposing (and taking forever to do so) is that they work with Daniele to the final three.
  
• They want Daniele to put up two other people this week and tell everyone that she plans on backdooring Brendon.
• Brendon told her that further on, he'd be willing to backdoor Jeff.
• The deal is that NO ONE knows (or would suspect) that they're working together.
• They would protect her if they have power next week.
  
• They would all three talk like they have about wanting to nominate/backdoor/throw out each other.
• Well, Brendon and Rachel wouldn't turn on each other, of course.
• They kept pushing for a Shelly/Adam nomination saying that Shelly would have a chance to get letters and photos from home in the jury house.
• Daniele told them that they definitely gave her something to think about and, in the beginning of their talk, she was sure she was going to put them on the block.
• Finally Adam came up and "rescued" Daniele from the Dastardly Duo.
• She told Adam that if she puts him on the block, he's a pawn.
• He said he's okay with that.
• THEN ... just before the feeds cut for nominations ...
• ... Daniele grabbed Kalia to the storage room.
• Kalia started in on a long (anything she says is LONG) tirade about her Shelly talk and how it ended with them hugging and crying.
• "You're going to hate me," Daniele said.
• She gave Kalia a brief "what if?" talk about putting Adam and Shelly on the block to backdoor Brendon or, if the veto isn't used, get Shelly out.
• Argh. She drank the Kool-Aid.
  
• ... then the feeds cut for nominations.
• Gah.
• Adam and Shelly are on the block.
  

Kalia gets animated in a confrontation with Shelly.

Shelly and Kalia talk things out, hug and make up.

Useless waste of space in the house.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds - New HoH - August 12

Daniele is the new HoH.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Post-Show 8/11

This is just a quick update ...

• Kalia, with her phobia about hairs, needs to stop tugging on her own hair and throwing the shedding hairs on the floor in the purple room. Disgusting!
• As expected -- Daniele, Kalia and Porsche aren't happy campers.
• Porsche is asleep.
• Daniele and Kalia have basically exiled themselves from everyone else.
• The crew of six -- Jeff, Jordan, Brendon, Rachel, Shelly and Adam are celebrating.
• Daniele told Adam that Jeff and Jordan wanted him out and she saved him twice.
• @@
• As expected -- Brendon and Rachel are attached to each other.
• Ew.
• The HoH comp is expected sometime tonight.
• I have no clue what time.
• They're in an indoor lockdown.
• I'll hang as long as I can. I'm sure the HoH will be blocked to the feeds, but we'll know way before it's aired Sunday!

UPDATE - 11:54 PM ET, Kalia just got out of the Diary Room and asked who's ready to play for HoH. Nobody moved. They thought she was kidding. She's not. She said they all have to go to the backyard and the feeds have vanished. So, HoH comp is starting.

Big Brother 13 Aug. 11 Live Eviction/HoH Show Blog Party

The show is about to start here on the East Coast. As it airs, I'll update this entry with major events. But the real fun is in the comments and I hope you all join in!

Tonight is probably THE most anticipated of the season thus far! Who will be voted out? (We probably know that one ...) Who will return? (Anyone but Brendon, I hope!) Hamsters ready?

Ah, Rachel's enemies from last season get a segment -- Ragan! Rats, he's going to be in the wedding party and are friends now.

Voting time! Rachel's speech is perky and reminds them of the twist. Lawon in love with all. He doesn't make much sense otherwise.

Votes to evict:
Jordan -- Lawon
Jeff -- Lawon
Commercial break.
Porsche -- Lawon
Daniele -- Lawon
Shelly -- Lawon
Adam -- Lawon

Lawon is out, the only surprise is that it's unanimous.

Before he can leave, Julie makes them all sit back down. She tells them the list of who might come back. Rachel looked like a bigmouth bass. In talking to "the four" Julie told them that Lawon and Rachel had been nominated for eviction this week. When she said that Lawon was evicted, Brendon definitely looked surprised.

America voted for BRENDON. Idiots!

Gah. Brendon won. [BLEEPIN' BLEEP!]

The next HoH comp will air Sunday. Hmmm ... not sure if it's live. Probably not.


Brief live feeds update: Brendon, Rachel, Jeff, Jordan, Adam and Shelly formed an alliance to go against Kalia, Daniele and Porsche. No surprises there!

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Wednesday Evening 8/10

Jeff and Lawon thug ... mug for the HoH camera

Another day in the house x'd off the calendar, eh? Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Confused Critters:

• The upcoming twist hint to the hamsters has them going bonkers.
• Well, more bonkers than they already were, that is.
• Rachel and Lawon are both sure that in all probability whomever is evicted will return.
• Daniele and Kalia figured think that someone else might return ... like Brendon!
• Oh my.
• Jeff and Jordan want Rachel to stay even though she's driving them up the wall.
• Most of the hamsters think Rachel needs to be on some kind of drug to calm her down.
• They think she has the record for running off to the Diary Room crying or fussing.
• Shelly seems to be with Jordan and Jeff -- already told Kalia and Daniele she will be voting to save Rachel.
• Adam seems to be with Jordan and Jeff, agreeing to vote to keep Rachel.
• J, J, A, S think the vote will be 4-2 to evict Lawon.
• They think only Porsche and Daniele will vote to evict Rachel.
• Jeff and Jordan told Adam that the others think it's going to be a tie vote and they can imply that Porsche was the hinky vote to keep Rachel.
• Adam's not too keen on that.
• He likes to get along with everyone.
• When Daniele and Kalia asked him about the vote, he told them he hadn't made up his mind yet.
• That was after he agreed with Jeff and Jordan to keep Rachel.
• It's a ball of confusion.
• Or, perhaps it's all just a spool of lies (Copyright: Howie)
• They got the HoH camera, so fun was had by all.
• Yippee yahoo.
• Earlier in the evening, the feeds went down for two hours so the hamsters could celebrate the halfway mark with a private party.
• Watching Shelly on the feeds is driving me crazy.
• If she was a waitress, she'd be cleaning the table while you're in mid-bite. Maybe it's nervous energy, but the darting around cleaning everything and looking for a napkin set down so she can run it to the trash ... it's all very distracting.
• She doesn't cook, though.
• Jeff and Adam are the big cooks this season.
