Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Saturday into the Evening 7/16

Is my water spiked?

It's the big Power of Veto comp day for our hamsters. Will the nominations change this week. You can bet your bippie on it that they will! Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Codependent Couples:

• BB woke them up rather early (for BB) -- around 8 AM their time.
• It's good everyone had gone to bed early, by around 3 AM.
• Daniele and Kalia talked about not trusting Jordan as much because Jordan seems to trust Cassi.
• I believe part of that talk was Daniele's social game in play. Unlike the other veterans, she's making the time to simply hang out with the others, thus leaving her options more open and probably will be less of a target when her safety period ends.
• Most seem to be still hurting from yesterday's food comp.
• Adam had agreed to throw the PoV comp so he'd remain safe while Dominic got the boot.
• Rachel thinks the worst case scenario would be an Adam/Dominic win.
• Heh.
• Jordan told Shelly that if Dominic and Adam win the veto, she'll put up her and Cassi. Cassi would be the target.
• I just wish they'd think of putting up Rachel and Brendon with EITHER being the target. I'd like both of them gone.
• Daniele told Kalia that once the duos play is up, Brendon and Rachel need to go.
• At least someone is thinking properly!
  
• Rachel wants Brendon to change the nominations if he wins PoV -- she wants Cassi out.
• Rachel thinks Cassi would come after them if she won HoH, plus Jeff is too defensive about Cassi.
• She also thinks that Cassi has Jordan's ear way too much.
• Worry about how you play your own game, Rachel!
  
• When the veto players were chosen, the third duo picked randomly was ... Rachel and Brendon.
• That, of course, made Adam speculate that the others (Cassi/Shelly, Lawon/Kalia) weren't even in the bag and it's all rigged.
• I go back to when I knew the producer in charge of the comps and defend the producers. While they could very well have their favorites, they would never not include all the names in the bag or rig a particular comp!
• After a long feeds block, the results are in.
• Adam and Dominic won the Power of Veto.
• Rachel, in some kind of choosing aspect of the comp, is on slop for two weeks.
• Sucks to be Rachel, huh?
• Dominic is beside himself with joy, taking all the credit for the win. (Which is probably likely his doing anyway.)
• He's walking around talking in his high-pitched Mario voice gloating about the first win for the Newbie camp.
• Now all deals are off with the Veterans, as far as he's concerned.
• Apparently Rachel's behavior in the comp -- loud and agreeing (whatever) to the slop irked Jeff. He's ticked. Daniele told him Rachel is sinking her own ship.
• Rachel's comp behavior also caused another Brendon condescending lecture to her. Argh.
• At one point Rachel said, in her whiny voice with lips quivering, "No wonder America hates me."
• YES! You got it, girl! You're damn annoying!
  
• The Veterans think they have enough votes for Cassi to go since they need to go to Plan B.
• In a talk with Shelly, Jeff and Jordan told her that they don't plan on a final four with Rachel and Brendon.
• Good.
• Apparently Rachel took the two weeks of slop because she wanted to win and yelled something about if the HoH (Jordan) isn't willing to take it or win PoV, she didn't deserve to be HoH.
• But she didn't win anyway and just alienated Jordan and Jeff.
• Keep sinking that ship, Rachel!
• Jordan told Jeff that Rachel doesn't like any of the girls because she's so insecure in her relationship with Brendon.
• Y'know, Jordan can be ditzy, but she often reads people pretty well.
• That said, she trusts Cassi more than Cassi deserves to be trusted.
• The jellybeans they have are actually JellyBelly ones, not cheap outdated dollar store jellybeans. I'm shocked!
• After the big excitement of the day, they're down to small talk.
• The veto meeting won't be until Monday, so we'll be in a lull until then.
• It looks just about certain that Shelly and Cassi will be on the block with Cassi being the target. We'll see.
  

I wonder what that chin really looks like.

I think the colors in that room would keep me awake.

Note Brendon's jacked-up knees due to the food comp.

Ahh, it's Jeff looking contemplative.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Bulletin: PoV 7/16/11

Ah, the game gets interesting -- Adam and Dominic (the nominated duo) won the Power of Veto.

Might I suggest that Brendon and Rachel go on the block?

I know. I'm just dreaming.

A full report of the day's events in the house will be posted late tonight.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Saturday Dawn 7/16/11

To sleep, perchance to dream.
Okay, just sleeping will do!

The nominations are in. Two days of hectic stressful activity have taken their toll. This is the first night the hamsters all went to bed before dawn. Today they will tackle the PoV comp. Time to catch up on the latest happenings from inside that Big Brother House of Persnickety Pairs:

• Lots and lots of small talk.
• Kalia told Lawon (over and over again) that she doesn't trust Cassi, doesn't like Cassi.
• Okay, I think he gets it!
• She says Cassi is doing exactly what she criticized Porsche for doing -- sucking up to the Veterans.
• Rachel pointed out to Jordan that now that she won HoH, Cassi is all of a sudden her friend.
• Well, duh!
• Jeff warned Jordan not to say much to Cassi, too.
• It looks like they've figured her out, eh?
• Brendon fussed to one of the cameras about his missing toy turtle Franklin. It's been five days.
• No, I don't know where Franklin is. If he's smart, he got out of the house and hitchhiked a ride up the coast.
• Lawon told Cassi he still trusts her despite what she thinks of his partner.
• Hmmm ...
• Jeff told Adam not to play seriously (throw!) the PoV.
• Brendon told Jeff that the girls always play the game with their emotions, not their minds.
• This comes from the emotional needy Brendon Bookie Boy.
• Daniele wants the noms to change so that Cassi goes up.
• Yeah, she's taken a liking to Dominic.
• Cassi told Daniele that she heard that people are talking about how she (Cassi) can't be trusted. She wants Daniele to come to her if she has any questions.
• Like that will happen.
• The majority of the Veterans are still for a Dominic eviction.
  
• They're all sleeping as I get this posted.
  

What? Just a boring Yale sweatshirt?

Who was it that said she wouldn't clean up after others?

Jeff and Jordan, reflected in a mirror, watch the spy cam.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Friday Evening (Nominations, too!) 7/15/11

Seriously, that hair is way too dark!

Well, here we are again -- Friday, a busy day in the Habitrail. Almost all of the action in the house (with the exception of brouhahas) is crammed between Thursday and Saturday. Thursday is live eviction and HoH. Friday is the food comp and nominations. Saturday is the PoV comp. While the PoV meeting is on Sunday, that doesn't really count as action in my book.

So, how have the hamsters handled their busy day in that Big Brother House of Busy Bees?

• Shelly was up first. It's odd how the "older" hamsters usually tend to be the earliest risers.
• Had Evel Dick stayed in the game, the two could have done some early morning scheming.
• Alas.
  
• Right now I'd say that Shelly definitely has the best social game and strategy of the Newbie Crew.
• Adam made (and ate) a ton o' bacon. He must have had a premonition.
• They talked 9/11 and Star Wars, not at the same time, of course.
• Shelly said that Cassi swore on her father that she wouldn't put Jeff and Jordan on the block if she won HoH next week.
• I think she would put Brendon and Rachel up, though.
• That's fine by me!
• They were told to wear athletic clothes for the food comp.
• Rachel worried about it being a "messy" comp and not getting proper warning.
• I just shrug at her lately. She's not worth an eyeroll.
• The feeds were blocked for a couple of hours for the comp.
• Our new Have Nots are: Adam, Dominic, Cassi and Shelly.
• America voted for them to have jellybeans and jerky. I could handle that. I'd demand fresh gourmet jellybeans, though -- none of that dollar store stock!
• The food comp apparently was pretty rough physically. Most of them are all banged up, plus Rachel was throwing up in the bushes.
• A medical unit had to be called, but no broken bones!
  
• I heard talk about bananas and hot dogs. So they were being physical and eating, too.
• Blech.
• Kalia told the HoH crew she thinks that Cassi would be better to be put up than Dominic because she can't trust her.
• And she thinks she can trust Dominic?
• Fool if she does!
• In Dominic's talk with the HoH crew, he admitted to making an alliance with one of each Newbie Duo.
• Jeff told Dominic he (and Adam, his duo buddy) would be going on the block.
• Jordan, remembering the rule that you can't tell them beforehand, said it wasn't 100% sure.
• But, with Jordan as HoH, we know it's more Jeff as HoH, right?
• Dominic also told them he knew about Adam's early deal with Evel Dick.
• Dominic still thinks Adam and Kalia were the "betrayal" votes and wouldn't mind if Adam got the boot.
• He also said he has no problem in voting Cassi out.
• Plus he told Jeff and Jordan that he thinks Daniele is spying on him.
• The kid is scrambling, eh?
• As he should.
• Jeff and Jordan trust Kalia over Cassi.
• As they should.
• Jeff told Cassi that she and Shelly (her duo buddy) aren't on their radar.
• Brendon once again started lecturing Rachel, this time about her hanging around Cassi too much.
• Both of you! Brendon and Rachel! Get out of my life and off of my television! Unless we get a knockdown cat fight smackdown, I don't want to see you!
• Huh. Jeff had laser eye surgery with Jordan handling the bill. Interesting!
• And, the moment we've all been waiting for ...
• ... the feeds have been blocked forever ...
• Nominations are in and ...
• Adam and Dominic are indeed on the block.
• Dominic is the target.
  

I know the feeling, Kalia!

First Dominic's butt on the kitchen table,
now Adam's nasty sneakered feet.
EWWW!

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Update - Food Comp 7/15/11

The food comp (blocked to the feeds) is finally over.

Dominic and Adam are Have Nots for sure. And, I think both Lawon and Kalia might be, too. America voted for jellybeans and jerky.

Nominations will be later tonight along with a full report on the day. So, please ... stop on back!

Update: Shelly and Cassi seem to be the other two Have Nots. Kalia apparently got hurt during the comp, but I guess she and Lawon made it through it.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Friday Dawn 7/15/11

Jeff and Jordan play in bed.*

Lawon has a glittery kerchief!

* -- Get your mind out of the gutter! She's drawing an elephant on his back and he's trying to guess what animal it is! Y'know, if a "romantic" couple has to share that HoH bed, I'd prefer Jeff and Jordan. I hated watching the Brendon and Rachel Fight and Hump Show.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Blatant Betrayals:

• Adam is going the damage control route. He told Porsche he likes her, but voted for her to go because Keith would be better for his own game.
• BB gave them their live show feast.
• Rachel created a ruckus after the HoH with the Newbies telling them "some of us like Porsche" as they were upset that two flipped.
• Yep, Rachel make that divide in the house even wider.
• Maybe you'll fall in, Rachel!
• Shelly isn't even suspected of being a flip vote.
• Dominic thinks it was Kalia and/or Adam.
• Brendon told Rachel to try not to make enemies and to watch the PDA (public display of affection) as it will make them bigger targets.
• Rachel thinks it's her place to defend Porsche because Cassi has been trashtalking her (Porsche) all week.
• It isn't. But spare me the Brendon lectures PLEASE.
• Dominic is mad that his great plan didn't work and two defected to the Veterans.
• Shelly, who's coming across more and more as a sneaky gameplayer, told Jordan that she thinks Jordan and Jeff will make it further than Brendon and Rachel because Rachel plays the game too emotionally.
• Jeff thinks there's no sense in putting up Cassi (an enemy!) and Shelly because Shelly is already on their side.
• He thinks Dominic and Adam, since neither voted their way, should go up.
• Yet Daniele thinks she can work Dominic.
• Rachel and Brendon argued more. This time it was the botox argument once again. She wants it, he doesn't want her to have any plastic surgery or botox.
• Well, he does like the boobs, mind you.
• Dominic told Daniele he had told the Newbies not to get with the Veterans as they had the numbers and they didn't listen to him.
• Daniele told him that he's going to be the number one target this week.
• He's not surprised. He's SO upset with the flipping two!
• One of which he still thinks is Adam, his duo-mate.
• Daniele started campaigning with Jeff and Jordan to keep Dominic.
• After the reveal and big butt-kissing HoH room visitors left, Jordan told Jeff, "I'm glad they washed these sheets!"
• I think I'd want a whole new bed.
• Dominic, Lawon and Cassi are all worried about being targets this week.
• They probably should be.
  

Hangin' out in the HoH.

Golden Key and a Reese's peanut butter cup?

Indoors is outdoors, whatever.

Big Brother 13 Live Eviction Show Blog Party 7/14/11

It's time for the first eviction show! The pool is in place and everyone is welcome to join in down in the comments section. As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this entry with major events. Evel Dick, now on Facebook, said he'll be making an appearance. Either Porsche or Keith will be sent packing and a new HoH will be crowned ... er, whatever!

For those with strong stomachs, Rachel's HoH Blog is up on the CBS site.

Margo posted a new pool correction:
**POOL CORRECTION**

It was brought to my attention that I had Becky on the list twice. I had to wait til I got home to my master list and Becky has Keith and Beadlebug has Cassi. The corrected list follows.

Adam - Auntie Leigh, Ayana, ML
Brendon - SueGee, Sally, Chris
Cassi dla, Beadlebug, Buzzmaam
Daniele - Terry in PA, EileenM, Jennasmom
Dominic - Witt, Rbennie, JOEY
Jeff - Petals, Donna in AL, Delee

**********************************************

Let's get this show started ...!

Dick sent a message: Personal issue had to be dealt with immediately. He gives them a pep talk.

Keith's speech was short and sweet, as was Porsche's.

The votes:
Dominic -- Porsche
Brendon -- Keith
Jordan -- Keith
Cassi -- Porsche
Lawon -- Porsche
Jeff -- Keith
Daniele -- Keith
Adam -- Porsche
Kalia -- Keith
Shelly -- Keith

The votes are in. Two newbies flipped -- Kalia and Shelly. Keith is gone.

HoH comp is up! Golf game -- "Big Brother Open" -- like miniature golf. Dominic does well. Adam eliminated, Cassi out, Shelly out, Lawon out, Kalia ties with Dominic, Jordan takes the lead! Kalia and Dominic eliminated. Jeff out. Brendon out.

Jordan is the new HoH!

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds into Thursday Dawn 7/14/11

Are L.A. evenings this cold?
But I do like the look.

Another night in the BB13 house, the last night for one hamster. Who will it be? To be honest, I haven't formed any sort of connection with either Keith or Porsche. So, guess what? I don't care! One of 'em, get out of there and let the game go on!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Conniving Curs:

• Keith told Shelly that all Cassi wants to do is hang out with Jeff and Jordan.
• Wait. Isn't Cassi a Regulator?
  
• Keith, thinking he's a sunk ship, is going around giving advice.
  
• He told Adam that Kalia and Lawon should be the next target.
• Wait. Isn't Lawon a Regulator?
• Keith already threw Dominic under the bus to Daniele.
• Wait. Isn't Dominic a Regulator?
• So Keith has given the Judas kiss to all in his alliance.
• Talk about burning bridges.
• As it's the evening before a live show, no alcohol for the hamsters.
• Keith said he doesn't need to practice the golf game for HoH.
• Rachel is nervous about Shelly, whether she'll stick with them or not.
• Meanwhile Shelly tried to give Keith a pep talk, saying how good he could be at the game but that he was letting his plans get ahead of things and isn't flexible.
• Kalia told Porsche not to tell anyone she's voting to keep her.
• Shelly told Cassi that the Veterans plus Kalia would be voting to keep Porsche.
  
• So, Kalia's big secret? Not so much.
• Cassi said she still plans to vote the same (to keep Keith).
• Shelly told Cassi she can't believe Keith has just given up and isn't even trying to stay.
• Shelly also told her that Porsche thinks she's gorgeous (she Porsche, not she Shelly).
• She says that Porsche is upset that men aren't falling all over her.
• Um. Okay.
• Maybe that could be good for a Rachel vs. Porsche cat fight! Bring it ON!
• Daniele warned Brendon and Jeff that they're both coming off a bit power hungry and it could bite them in the butts if the Newbies get HoH.
• Brendon and Rachel now seem to have pros and cons about keeping Porsche and letting Keith go.
• But I still think the Veteran vote will be Keith, along with a stray or two from the Newbies.
• Unlike previous seasons, I don't think we're going to see a landslide on the first vote.
• Maybe they're not lemmings.
• All are asleep as I post this.
  

Dingy, but I like her.

When I'm not paying attention and she speaks,
I think "guy."

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Wednesday Daytime 7/13/11

Cassi in a cap. Does that make her Cappy?

Not only has it been on the boring side in the house today, but the feeds have been suffering technical glitches -- down and/or freezing -- and blocks for the last several hours. Argh.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Doofy Duos:

• Early morning golf practice. Wowsers.
• Shelly said she thinks the Newbies think they're cohesively voting to keep Keith.
• In other words, bye-bye Porsche.
• However, she and Kalia plan to keep Porsche, thus siding with the Veterans.
• Brendon told Shelly that Rachel got turned down for some jobs because they recognized her from the house and thought she behaved that way.
  
• Which she did behave "that way" and still does to an extent. And probably will behave "that way" more once she's not HoH.
• Gee, how did you figure that would happen? Go on a reality show and come across as a loony cheap needy floozy and lose job prospects?
• Rachel told Shelly that she breaks down and cries during job interviews when the show comes up.
• Well, that's not the way to get hired, either!
• She has a two day a week $9/hour job, no health insurance, etc.
• Rachel got the HoH digital camera and went around taking photos.
• A good time was had by all.
• Yippee.
• Kalia told Dominic that Porsche told her she thinks she's going home and that she (Kalia) would be the next target.
• Meanwhile, Jordan assured Porsche that she's staying.
• There was a fairly lengthy HoH lockdown.
• Those are always horrible because it's all chit-chat and laying about.
• Then the glitches started.
• (Argh)
• Keith, relatively certain he's heading home, told Daniele she's the player he most admires in the game.
• He gave her his hat as a "going away" gift.
• He also sold out his buddy Dominic to her.
• Daniele is definitely playing the social game.
• Keith told Lawon that if he stays he'll target Veteran power players.
• Who's going home?
• Hard to say for sure, but I still think it will be Keith. I think the "power players" are more worried about leaving him in the game than they are Porsche.

********************************

So, tonight we get a wee bit of news (because I don't think we'll ever get specifics) about Evel Dick leaving the show, as well as the reaction of the fellow houseguests. As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this entry with major happenings. But things are a heck of a lot more fun in comments. I hope to see you there!

Okay, so Dick got called to the Diary Room and never came out. Uh-oh -- they called Rachel to the Diary Room and the house is still Dick-less! She has an announcement to read -- Dick had to leave for urgent personal matters, Daniele gets a Golden Key. Brendon is acting like a jerk wanting to confront the newbies because Keith's happy. @@

Jeff gave them a pep talk. On the newbie side, Shelly thinks Keith is acting very poorly. He is way too smug.

Picking players for veto - HoH couple, nominees and one other duo. Daniele isn't eligible. She's getting into the scheme of things and plans to play socially with the newbies. Jeff and Jordan are the other duo. Adam is the host.

Adam is done up in a cop outfit, the backyard is full of "buildings." They're all wearing superhero spandex outfits. They have to "repair skyscrapers" by completing the veto puzzle. With their sights on the Golden Key, both Porsche and Keith are throwing the puzzle unbeknownst to each other.

Brendon and Rachel win.

America's Choice for food for the Have Nots should be up on the CBS website after the show airs. Why waste $ texting?

Brendon and Rachel run around talking to everyone, trying to get promises of safety ...

Time for the PoV meeting. They have the "dual power of veto" to remove a duo. They are NOT using it, Keith and Porsche remain on the block.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into the Dawn 7/13/11

Ohhh! Rachel's SHINY!

Tonight will be the big Dick(less) Reveal on the show in addition to the PoV comp and meeting. But that's all old news for us, right? After all, the hamsters are getting psyched to play for the new HoH reign. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Rascally Rodents:

• The hamsters went on indoor lockdown as BB built something in the yard.
• Jordan thinks her period is coming ... still, again, whatever. I really don't need to know.
• Lawon and Cassi think this is a fun season and they're fun hamsters because they make up games and get everyone involved.
• Yawn.
  
• Brendon told Rachel she's playing too emotionally.
• Rachel playing emotionally? Say it ain't so!
• Oh jeez ... in for another round of the Brendon controlling condescending act with Rachel crying and bristling.
  
• Again ... why are these two together? There should be psychological papers written about the relationship.
• The latest is because Brendon trusts Daniele and he feels Rachel doesn't.
• To be honest, I don't think they should really trust Daniele because she's smarter than they are in gameplay.
• Porsche finally kicked her campaigning into gear.
• Jeff and Kalia got into an argument about a gay Harry Potter character.
• Jeff regretted the argument since he thinks it will make him look bad.
• Yeah, Jeff ... it kind of does make you look just a bit homophobic.
• They got all dressed up for the Franklin the Turtle Missing Trial.
• But then they were allowed to go outside.
• Now, they think the set-up is for a Food Comp. I'm thinking HoH. We'll see. Daniele also thinks it's HoH.
  
• It's an oversized golf club with big balls thing (look at my screen caps).
• They practiced and practiced, then practiced some more.
  
• When Porsche campaigned to him, Adam told her he hasn't made up his mind. He'd like to keep her because he feels they could work together. On the other hand, if he keeps Keith, Keith is a bigger target and it would draw attention away from him (Adam).
• At midnight, the Have Nots were allowed to eat. So they did.
• Dominic and Adam talked -- they're sure they have the votes to send Porsche packing.
• The veterans and anyone aligned with them plan to vote out Keith.
• I'm not so sure, but I think it will still be Keith leaving.
• No great loss if he goes.
• Some are still up as I get this posted.
• Go to bed hamsters!

Why doesn't Dominic have big funky socks with stripes?

Food, food, glorious food!

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Daytime Tuesday 7/12/11

Lawon, Flaming Carrot

It's Tuesday, another day of wacky hijinks with those lovable hamsters in the BB13 house. Er, um. Well ... anyway, here are the day's happenings from inside that Big Brother House of Nervous Nellies:

• Y'know, it would be nice if they all went to bed before 5 or 6 AM their time (which is 8 or 9 AM my time). I recall times during other seasons that BB would actually have a lights out enforcement.
• Of course, there are no lights out in the Have Not room this season.
• Keith is still campaigning to stay. Porsche, not so much.
• Cassi and Porsche don't like each other.
• Alas, they don't have a cat-fight screaming and yelling.
• I really need some kind of action here, you understand.
• What do I get?
• Rachel and Brendon drama.
• Sheesh.
• First he tells her that he's thinking of throwing the HoH comp so he can be nominated and go home.
• She freaked.
• Later on in the day, they had one of his condescending and her immature petulant child drama parties.
• Why are these two together? I didn't understand the connection last year other than they both must have extreme issues and play off each other. I understand it less this year.
• She drinks, she's loud, she gets all skanky-acting. He tells her to stop and that it hurts his feelings. She cries.
• Rinse and repeat.
• In other drama, Brendan's toy turtle Franklin went missing last night. He's still missing. Brendon is ticked.
• And Rachel is immature.
• The hamsters plan a mock trial for the Showtime time slot tonight investigating the disappearance of Franklin.
• Rachel says she has 13,000 followers on Twitter.
• Really?
• Wake up, fools!
• Kalia cried to Lawon how she hates being in the house and misses her family.
• Truth or fiction? Remember, she wants to be put on the block with him, Lawon voted out and she gets a Golden Key.
• But it also didn't seem like an act.
• Brendon really doesn't like Porsche.
• However, the plan is still to evict Keith.
• They're worried it might end up being a tie.
• In that case, Rachel would vote to evict Keith.
• Oh, well ... there's a big turtle trial on late tonight. I better get my rest!
  

And Rachel cried

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Tuesday Dawn 7/12/11

Ew, ew! Rachel is all glittery-slinky!

You have to wonder what the hamsters would do if they didn't have the Showtime After Dark show coming on every night. BB might not give them alcohol to prime 'em up for Showtime. Heck, they might even just go to sleep.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Clueless Clowns:

• Daniele said the last Golden Key means nothing. While the feeds got blocked, I'm thinking she's saying that due to its timing -- the next week the duos are singles.
• I think.
• Why doesn't production ever listen to me and get rid of that chess game? Unless they're using it as a cover to talk strategy, it's monotonous.
• Rachel and Brendon rehashed the comps so far this season in case it comes up in a future comp.
• In talking about fights, Jordan said the only time she ever got really mad at Jeff was one night when he stayed out until 4 AM and didn't call her.
• Brendon and Rachel claimed they only fight about/on Big Brother.
• Oh yeah, sure.
• Jordan said that while she really liked Jeff in the house their season, it wasn't until after the season ended that she fell in love with him.
• She also thinks she's too immature to get married right now.
• Kalia and Lawon had a Keith bashing session.
• There was super joy and dancing when the Have Nots found out that they go off of slop at midnight Tuesday night. Kalia, in particular, was beside herself.
• BB gave them alcohol. They played their "Big Booty" game.
• That has them kissing a Memory Wall picture and then shaking their booty.
• Real fun going on here, eh?
• Dominic and Lawon want Brendon off before Rachel because they think he's smarter.
• I wish they would just consider the "annoying laugh and skankyisms" first as a basis.
• Is it too much to ask?
• Rachel imbibed too much and was generally obnoxious.
• Are you surprised?
• Brendon told her she and Porsche drank too much and said she shouldn't drink so much in the house.
• She rolled her eyes at him and said she did nothing wrong.
• He went on and on about how he wanted to be taken seriously and didn't want to be associated with her drinking behavior.
• She got defensive.
  
• The more things change, the more they remain the same.
• While I wanted a brouhaha, these Brendon/Rachel co-dependent teary tiffs are all like watching a bad movie over and over again.
• Lawon told Cassi that, in the beginning, he thought she and Shelly were a mother/daughter twist.
• Keith is still campaigning for votes.
• But he's not the same Keith who came in all smiling that first day.
• Maybe it's his evil and moody twin brother.
• More later!
  

Hammock hamsters

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Through Monday Daytime 7/11/11

Jeff's expression says it all.

Oh boy! CHESS in progress!

We really need a good brouhaha in the house. Now, if Evel Dick were still in there, I swear there'd be something going on! Yeah, there's been a tiff or two, many fusses, some whines ... but I want a good old-fashioned brouhaha or a cat fight.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Dallying Drones:

• Even though BB supplied them with more alcohol last night, there were no brouhahas.
• Instead, we had drinking games.
• Now, drinking games can be fun if you're participating, but not so much to watch.
• Of course, the Have Nots have no alcohol.
• Rachel, although not as bad (yet) as last season, is still a controlling self-centered so-and-so.
  
• Once the eventual tides change and she's no longer Queen Bee, chances are that she'll get freaky once again.
• I have no desire to watch Brendon and Rachel have sex under the covers. Make them stop.
• Jordan and Rachel's trust of Cassi is wavering. They think she wants them out.
• Of course, she does. Any of the Newbies want Veterans out. Despite the fact that they control the numbers, they're suck-ups to the Veterans.
• Perhaps, instead of hamsters, they're lemmings ... following each other over a cliff to drown in the sea.
• Or whatever that is that lemmings do.
• The Veterans have come to the realization that Cassi, Dominic and Lawon are in an alliance.
• They don't know it has a silly name.
• Kalia would like to go on the block with her duo buddy Lawon solely so she can get ahold of a Golden Key.
• Cassi told Jeff that she wouldn't want to be in a final four with him, Jordan and Brendon because she'd lose.
• Kalia has a heat rash.
• That's really stuff I didn't need to know.
• But, since I do know, now you know.
• Rachel has a traffic ticket she didn't attend to before going into the house.
• I say, "Arrest warrant time!"
• Brendon told her to tell the DR and get it taken care of.
• He takes all the fun out of things!
• Rachel got mad at him for lecturing her.
• Some things never change.
• Keith thinks he has the votes to stay.
• I don't think he does, despite the Regulators. I think they'll be lemmings (see above).
• Rachel tried to flash the cameras. Eww! My eyes! My eyes! Thankfully Brendon stopped her.
• Jordan and Jeff know that Kalia wants to get nominated (so she can get that key).
• Kalia told Dominic that she isn't feeling right and wants to go home.
• Liar liar pants on fire!
• That's all the excitement we can handle for now ...
  

Mmm mmm, good.

Some drama would be nice, mama!

Th-th-that's all folks! (For now, at least!)

Big Brother 13: Evel Dick Update

Evel Dick promised a statement by Wednesday and it appeared tonight on his site. Alas, the site is overloaded and it's hard to get to the video. But I found a transcript of it here. Zap2It also has an article.

Hmm. We still don't know anything, do we?

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Sunday Into the Evening 07/10/11

The Haves gather in the kitchen.

I need to say a few things before I get into the (non)happenings inside the BB13 house today. First off -- since the feeds came live after the first five (six?) days, I never did quite get why Porsche was such a target. Well, duh ... thanks to the show, I realize she isn't or, at least, wasn't. Keith was the target all along.

The second thing is that I need to grouse about the silly Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday scheduling. There's always down time in the house, but this makes things even worse. It's like all of the real action in the house is pretty much crammed into two days then it's boredom, HoH fantasies and tall tales for the rest of the time.

Oh, well. Here's the scoop from inside that Big Brother House of Loquacious Lackeys:

• Sunday, huh? That means the only big event will be the PoV Meeting.
• Adam and Dominic told Brenchel that they'd vote with them and, if they get HoH next week, they won't put them up as they didn't get nominated this week.
• Rachel, dislike her as I do, is actually trying to include Jeff and Jordan in protection deals.
• I like Jeff and Jordan. So far they're the only ones I'm really enjoying watching on the live feeds.
• Brendon said the Lawon and Kalia are the Newbies duo the Veterans trust the most. Hmm ...
• Of course, he said that TO them.
• So, it's not necessarily true!
• Brendon assured Porsche that she's safe this week (and, obviously for the next three weeks, too).
• Brendon, Jeff and Rachel think they need to get Lawon, Dominic and Cassi out as soon as they can.
• Oh my! That would mean, if Keith goes this week, the Regulators will be dust in the wind!
• No one really knows about the Regulators -- Cassi, Dominic, Keith and Lawon -- as of yet. I don't think it will matter in the grand scheme of things.
• No one is quite sure why Keith lied about his job. It slipped that he's an HR manager, not a matchmaker.
• Then what the heck is the focus on the show about his deacon sideline?
• The PoV ceremony (blocked to the feeds) came up with the results I predicted yesterday. It wasn't used thus Keith and Porsche are still on the block.
• The hamsters are still confused about how the Golden Key thing will work out with an "advance" key to Daniele.
• I'm confused, too.
• Huh. The hamsters aren't allowed to wear white clothes.
• That confuses me, too.
• Tons of small talk today. That and the old "when I'm HoH" or "If so-and-so gets HoH."
• Gah. BORING!
• They talked about previous seasons.
• Some worked out.
• Nothing to see here, folks. Move along, move along.
  

One day I'm going to post just weird expressions.

Have Not Huddle as the Haves were in the kitchen.

Big Brother 13 - July 10 Nominations Show Blog Party

Well, we can only hope Blogger will function better tonight than it did on premiere night! If there is either a problem with me posting updates here or comments not being able to be posted, I'll move things to the Facebook show page.

However, Blogger permitting, major updates will be posted in this entry and everyone is welcome to party (and comment) in the comments area. The loss of Dick won't be addressed until Wednesday's show, so we'll have Dick tonight. I know. I'm bad. On with the show!

The veterans have aligned as have Keith, Lawon and Dominic. So far, two alliances. Dominic is trying to get Cassi in on his little alliance. If it works, they vote to save each other if on the block. She's in and they're "The Regulators." @@

Dick is trying to get Porsche aboard with the veterans. She runs and tells her duo buddy Keith about it. Uh-oh. So Keith goes to Dominic and Cassi.

Rachel is hosting the food comp. It's a Have/Have Not scenario again -- slop, cold showers, bad room. They're dressed in little cow outfits. Space Milk Mountain, asks Lawon. Cowsmic Journey. They have to soak up milk and squeeze milk into jugs.

Teams of four -- three cows and one person who jumps on them to squish out the milk. The Have Nots are Lawon, Kalia, Shelly and Cassi. The library room is gone and replaced with a padded cell with mats on the floor. The lights are always on.

Dick wants to get Adam on their side, same deal as Porsche -- if up, get the Golden Key and vote with the veterans.

Nominations Today. Keith thinks if he and Porsche go on the block, it's all her fault and the Regulators will save him.

Key order -- Daniele/Dick, Jeff/Jordan, Lawon/Kalia, Shelly/Cassi, Adam/Dominic.

Keith/Porsche nominated. "Strategic gameplay," explains Porsche.

Oh my, the announcer voice said, "When one houseguest unexpectedly leaves the game, it threatens to change everything."

Gee, who could that be?

Big Brother 13 Bulletin: PoV Meeting

The Power of Veto meeting was held -- Brendon and Rachel did NOT use the veto. Keith and Porsche remain on the block.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Sunday Dawn 7/10/11

Jordan hasn't changed.

Brendon, on the other hand ...

My apologies for not getting up a report earlier. Blogger decided I should get error messages on image uploads.

But I'm here now and we need to talk. I'm still lukewarm on this season, probably because my own idea of good twists and Allison Grodner's radically differ. I don't really mind Brendon in the house, but Rachel creeps me out every time I see her. Jeff, Jordan and Daniele aren't really a problem. I suppose things could be worse -- it could have been Jessie and Natalie returning!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Wacky Warthogs:

• The Veterans are still trying to pull people to their side while the Newbies are still a fractured lot not working together.
• Since only Jeff, Jordan and Brendon can play for HoH next week (Rachel outgoing HoH, Daniele Golden Key), they do have to get more on their side.
• Both Shelly and Kalia approached the Veterans separately saying they want to work with them.
• Keith offered them a two week safety deal if he comes off the block.
• Dominic tried to slick talk them and blew it.
• Can any of them be trusted?
• Nope.
• But since they're not a cohesive group and some of the quieter players (Shelly, Kalia) are looking to hide behind larger targets and power players, they definitely might vote this vote with the desire of the Veterans.
• The bickering between Lawon, Porsche and Keith continues. All three of them are making themselves major targets and proving they can't be trusted.
• And then Kalia cried because she thinks her duo partner Lawon is putting a target on them and ruining her own chances at the game.
• While Cassi and Shelly were discussing who they'd vote out between Porsche and Keith, both said they'd probably go with whomever Brendon and Rachel say.
  
• Cassi would personally rather Keith go because "He's like a big black cloud moping around. He could kill me in my sleep!"
• Whoa, some change from smiley happy Keith and his planned angels, eh?
• At least there was some comic relief between all the angsty BB stuff -- Brendon came up with a superhero story "film."
• He, dressed in his unitard from PoV and a mask, was Captain Wedgie peacefully fishing with his BFF Franklin the stuffed turtle (not Rachel, you notice). Along would come the evil Dr. Dominus who'd steal Franklin. Action scenes would ensue and Franklin and Captain Wedgie would prevail and live happily ever after.
• Well, it made for some good screen caps, at least!
• Let's see ... in other news, Rachel tried to coach Adam in cheerleading. @@
• Daniele messed with the Fortune Teller and got it working.
• Daniele said her relationship with Nick from BB8 didn't work out because he was so different outside the house.
• Des that mean that Brendon and Rachel are still together because they're the same outside and inside the house?
• Yikes!
• Much of the rest of their up time was small talk.
• One tasty morsel is that Dominic and Cassi would like to work with Daniele but don't know if she can be trusted yet.
• From the chit-chat, it looks like the majority of the house will vote with the house.
• It looks like Keith out and PoV not used.
• But you can't always predict hamster behaviors.
