Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Through Wednesday July 27

Kalia goes all kinds of bonkers!

Sure, it's been boring in the house and I've been laid up from knee surgery, stuck at home for the most part. So, I've been making BB13 like Jimmy Stewart in Rear Window. It's my voyeur trip and distraction. Perhaps I'll witness a murder, you never know. And, the hamsters have been super boring. So, the one day I actually go out ... there's a brouhaha!

I had to catch up using Flashback on my live feeds, then the actual show started and I'm just now getting to catch up. Grrr! This is going to be long. You might want to grab a tasty beverage and settle in.

Here are today's events from inside that Big Brother House of Awkward Allies and a Brouhaha:

• I just love the word "brouhaha" and don't get to use it enough. So I need to take advantage whenever I can.
• In the beginning of the morning, Rachel was for keeping Dominic.
• Brendon not so much.
• She trusts Porsche, him not so much.
  
• So there we have it, the first Brenchel drama of the day.
• Brendon thinks that Rachel has PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) from being in the house last year and it's affecting her game this year.
• @@
• Rachel got her HoH camera and pleaded with people to act like they all like each other.
• Actually, this season does have more friendships across battle lines than many previous seasons.
• Or, at the very least, they act like they do.
• Then Kalia made the move that made the um, excrement hit the fan.
• She went to Brendon, basically lying, telling him she had no part in the backdoor Jeff plan.
• Brendon got nasty. She got nasty. I smiled. Could a brouhaha be coming on?
• Why, yes, yes one's on the way!
• They both went in, telling others their issues.
• Jordan kept pushing for everyone to air out their grievances at a house meeting.
• Yay, house meeting always = a good smackdown brouhaha!
• This one didn't disappoint for a couple of hours.
• A shot rang out. The maid screamed! Er, no. But I felt I had to add that.
• Kalia was screaming how there's no chance for a newbie, she might as well write them a check right now and go.
• Hmm ... pay to leave? All one has to do is DOR!
• Jeff was talkshouting how he can't trust either her or Dominic because neither came to him when there was talk of backdoor.
• Dominic and Kalia both said they were sure it wasn't going to happen, that's why they didn't warn him.
• Brendon and Rachel said they had seriously been considering it after the seeds were planted by ...
• Daniele.
• She comes in screaming.
• No fisticuffs.
• Dominic said everyone had deals with the veterans.
• Lawon said he had no deals with anyone, was playing his own game and would take all of them down.
  
• Hamsters all briefly smiled, then continued the brouhaha.
• Adam was hidden and/or quiet through it all.
• Shelly came out, giving a big talk about playing with integrity and how Dominic can leave proud of how he played the game.
• Rachel twitched a lot.
• In the end, they all awkwardly hugged and broke up into their little groups all over again.
• The more things change, the more they remain the same.
• But ...
• Kalia went sobbing on Jordan's shoulder about she had no idea that there was any serious consideration to backdoor Jeff.
• Thankfully she can't crunch food and cry at the same time!
• Long ago Jordan and Kalia promised to never nominate/vote to evict each other.
• That promise still seems good and was one of the only deals admitted to during the brouhaha.
• Daniele, Dominic and Lawon went to the Have Not room with Daniele still pushing for the big brave move to go up against the veterans by keeping Dominic.
• Shelly came in and they pushed the idea on her.
• After all, if they can swing her and Porsche, Adam could go out the door Thursday and then one of them will win HoH and victory is theirs.
• Or, at least Daniele's.
• Daniele made a stupid move trying to do the backdoor Jeff thing so early, but if she can manipulate the newbies to rise up and fight the power now, it could save her game.
• Well, as long as she can win every comp from this HoH to the end.
• Meanwhile, Kalia was then crying to Jeff apologizing for everything and telling him that he and Jordan were the only ones nice to her since the beginning of the game.
• While Kalia was throwing herself on the mercy of the veterans, it looks like Shelly's defecting to the newbies once again.
• Hmmm ...
• Dominic and Daniele tried to work Porsche.
• Now, the girl's a ghost in the game, but apparently not easily swayed by Daniele's manipulation powers.
• She refuses to go along with them.
• Meanwhile, Shelly told the vets she is NOT voting to keep Dominic and how the downstairs crowd just gathers around Daniele as if she's some sort of queen bee.
• So she is indeed playing Daniele and the newbies. I got worried there for a second. It wouldn't be good for her game to switch sides now.
• Daniele tries to use her superpowers on Kalia to vote to keep Dominic.
• Kalia didn't commit. I'd say her own personal game, despite the blow-up, would probably be better sticking with the veterans at this point.
• It's not like she's going to win anyway. But she might stick around longer.
• Daniele and Lawon think they can convince Shelly to convince Porsche to save Dominic. They're thrilled. They think it can really happen.
• But it can't.
• Shelly's cards will be exposed after tomorrow, but she's in with every power player except Daniele.
• Once again, she's playing a shrewd strategical game. And, the thing is, they don't really realize it.
• They're on a lockdown, so they're all stuck together for the night.
• I'm expecting the first endurance comp of the season tomorrow.
  

Daniele withdraws, then screams!

Jordan tries to be nice to all, but doesn't quite do it.

Dominic has nothing to lose at this point.

Shelly tries to hide.

Peanut gallery plus a Jeff.

Surprisingly, no tears nor tantrum from Rachel Dearest.

Big Brother 13 - July 27 Power of Veto 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!

On another note: There actually was a big brouhaha in the house today and I wasn't home at the time. I'm catching up on it with Flashback on the live feeds and will be posting a full report later tonight.

Let the show begin ...

So far, lots of talk about backdooring Jeff (and Jordan by default), started by Daniele, but continued by Dominic. Brendon and Rachel are definitely seriously considering it as an option. They told Dominic, who has a deal with them, to throw the veto.

The third duo chosen for veto is Jeff and Jordan. Porsche is the host.

Uh-oh, the couples are onto Daniele!

Veto Comp -- giant woman with hairy legs in bubble bath. Playing as individuals. Pluck a hair, each has a letter, gather letters, spell longest word you can.

Jordan - little
Dom - standings
Rachel - mousturizing!
Adam - fractions
Jeff - expresses
Brendon - understanding

Brendon wins (Rachel's was spelled wrong)

There is another Have Not food vote on the website - Black Licorice & Blue Cheese, Parsnips & Prunes, and Seaweed & Sardines!

Veto meeting -- Adam didn't even speak! Veto not used, won't go against Rachel's nominations. Another twist is promised Thursday. I haven't been too keen on the first twist this season!

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Monday Night 7/26

Maybe mind control will make them keep me.

Instead of "expect the unexpected" this season, I think we're going to have to expect the expected. The only big thing going on this season is Daniele going for a power move way too early and poorly thought out. It should have been expected she'd use DomiNIC(k), right?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Woulda Coulda Shoulda:

• After last night's talk with Brendon, Lawon is totally on the "Get Rid of Dominic" train.
• The votes are in, might as well cancel Thursday's show.
• I'll be happy when Daniele goes because her whispering is driving me crazy.
• Oh ... and on the driving me crazy line ... BB, stop giving these hamsters crunchy snacks in crinkly bags. Half of them chew with their mouths open -- CRUNCHITY CRUNCH CRUNCH and they keep rustling the bags CRINKLETY CRINK RUSTLE.
• Knock it off. Only give them soft cookies, please.
• Thank you.
• Dominic thinks that Jeff and Brendon think the whole backdoor Jeff plan came from him.
• Daniele told him that they know it's her, they're just not saying it and acting like they're all on board with her again.
• She has their number; they have hers.
• Daniele, Kalia and Dominic spent a ton of time trying to think of various ways to save Dominic.
• Kalia thinks she can last forever in an endurance comp.
• Yeah, right.
• The only endurance comp she could win would be CRUNCHITY CRUNCHING snacks in a CRINKLETY CRINKLY RUSTLING bag.
• Dominic went up to the HoH for a long talk with Brendon and Jeff, later joined in by Rachel.
• He pleaded his case. He promised them the head of Daniele Donato.
• Okay, I exaggerated a bit about the head.
• At first he wouldn't even mention her name and just alluded to her, not him, as the one starting the backdoor Jeff movement.
• It went on forever.
• They pumped him for information.
• He swore he'd be totally on their side from now on.
• No good. His ship is sunk.
• He can thank his own stupidity for falling in with Daniele on an incredibly stupidly timed game move.
• It's a shame. They do all like him. I like the kid.
  
• But it would be just as stupid if they left him in the house to possibly team up with Daniele once again.
• If they could get Daniele out instead of him, they would.
• But they can't.
• It's guilt by association perhaps, but it's enough. He doesn't have to be ousted without a reasonable doubt of guilt, just a preponderance of the evidence.
• Yeah, I've been watching too many daytime court shows.
• He later went to Daniele, told her he didn't throw her under the bus and didn't talk about anything they didn't bring up or already know.
• She looked incredibly sad.
• As she should be.
• She screwed up the kid's one chance to go far in Big Brother. And, not only that, he's one of the few on the newbie side who had any promise.
• Good going, Daniele.
• So now Dominic knows his game is doomed and that it might even be unanimous that he go.
• Meanwhile, Adam, who I wanted to like because of the fellow NJ connection, is totally worthless to me as a feeds watcher. He does seem to be a nice guy, but he's boring and will just follow the power.
• I can't see anything changing Dominic-wise between now and Thursday.
• But maybe we'll have a good brouhaha in between.
• One can only hope.
  

Just call him DomiNICK

At least Daniele still has Kalia.
Er, wait. Is that worth anything?

Don't even try telling me that, Dominic!

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Late Monday Night 7/25

Who dat?

This is really a perplexing season so far. Don't get me wrong ... I'm still watching hoping for a few gems here and there. Actually the biggest drama (because I don't really care anything about Brenchel drama) has been the fact that Daniele has screwed up her game so early and so badly by making premature moves. She didn't have any target on her back before in or out of her alliance because the moves would be to break up the couples first. Oops, Daniele.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Misguided Manatees:

• Pre-veto meeting, Kalia went to Brendon with a deal -- take Dominic and Adam off, put her and Lawon up with Lawon going home because she can't stand him.
• Ah, but was this something she hatched to protect Dominic and be in good graces with Daniele?
• Wanna bet?
• I'm not really getting Kalia's gameplay strategy.
• But she does sure snack a lot.
• As does Adam.
• Brendon and Jeff are totally upset with Daniele. Rachel ranges from confused to angry over her betrayal. Jordan is mad, but says "she's a nice girl."
• But Jordan says that about just about everyone.
• Well, at least she says it about the girls, that is.
• Brendon and Rachel told Lawon about Kalia's offer and that Daniele has also pushed for him to be nominated.
• He didn't seem surprised at all.
• Daniele told Brendon she'll be mad if Dominic goes.
• Get ready, mad woman!
• Brendon and Rachel told Daniele that if Jeff goes, it will only make the targets on their (his and Rachel's) backs bigger.
• She snapped and said it's okay, keep Jeff forever!
• That's fine by me.
• Daniele promised that if Dominic stays this week, he won't put up members of either couple if he wins HoH.
• Daniele told Brenchel to keep an eye on Shelly.
• Rachel later told Brendon that she does have doubts about Shelly.
• But I think Brendon is totally sold on Shelly.
• Then the veto meeting went down -- veto not used, Dominic and Adam remain on the block.
• Brendon and Rachel got Porsche to promise she won't put them on the block if she wins HoH this week (gold key winners will be in the comp).
• They also told her that they're sure Daniele is no longer in the alliance. Porsche didn't seem to care, said that Daniele hasn't talked game with her but once in the house. That was two days ago.
• Grr, Jeff. Be cool, dude -- he confronted Dominic telling him he (Dom) had made a stupid move in the game.
• Then he pressed Dominic to tell him who has been talking about backdooring him (Jeff).
• Now, I do know that it's been both Dominic and Daniele for the most part. However, the thought has probably crossed everybody's mind but Jordan's.
• Dominic claimed he was innocent and thinks they should have a house meeting to clear the air.
• I love house meetings -- they usually turn into brouhahas!
• A good solid brouhaha makes this all worthwhile.
• Meanwhile, Brendon enlists Adam's ear in a "we need to get Daniele out as quietly and quickly as possible" discussion.
• Adam, who's still coming across as a bit of a buffoon gamewise to me despite his superfan status, is agreeable.
• But then, the dude is agreeable to just about anything that doesn't have him going out the door.
• Brendon said that Daniele told him right in the beginning that she'd be fine with getting out her father the first week.
• Oh my.
• Of course, the feeds weren't on then, so I don't know if it's true or not.
• Instead of a good brouhaha, conversations turned to exciting stuff like yeast infections.
• Ew.
• The house meeting never happened.
• Dominic seemed more resigned as the evening went on. He's sure he's out the door this week.
• I'm kind of sad to see him go. If he hadn't hooked up with Daniele, he'd be one of the more interesting newbies.
• They all decided they (entire house) would do what they call a "skit" and I call a game.
• All of the guys were blindfolded except Lawon. He was dressed with a huge Afro wig and 70s superfly polyester as the host.
• It was a Bachelorette game -- He would ask a question and one of the girls would whisper the answer to him, then the guys had to guess which girl from the answer.
• Fun, fun, fun.
• So not a good bathroom duck puppets show or even the sock puppets from a few seasons back.
• Right now the veterans (all of them) are having a big meeting in the HoH room. So far it's mainly Jeff and Daniele talking. Daniele is pretty much defending herself while Jeff is pushing to get admissions about talk to backdoor him,
• The rest are basically just sitting there.
• Neither Daniele or Jeff are overly angry at the moment. Jeff wants the veterans to be the final five and can't understand why she'd split off from the group.
• He says he's baffled.
• Rachel takes up the cause and is actually handling it well.
• Daniele claims that she's loyal to the five.
• Liar liar pants on fire.
• I notice neither Brendon nor Rachel are bringing up the fact that Daniele approached them trying to get them to backdoor Jeff.
• So this isn't really clearing the air, nor will it be a good brouhaha unless that comes out.
• Ah, this is just going around in circles.
• I'll report any changes or brouhahas if indeed they occur.
• They didn't buy Daniele's act.
  
• There ya go.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Bulletin - PoV Meeting

After a feeds block for the veto meeting, the news is out -- Brendon did NOT use the veto. Dominic and Adam remain on the block.

Dominic and Daniele still think Adam will go.

But he won't.

At least not this week.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Into Monday Dawn 7/25

Daniele is screwing her game up big time.

Another day in the house, another nail in Daniel's game coffin. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Harried Hamsters:

• What a shame Dick left, if for no other reason than to keep Daniele's game intact.
• She's making big moves way too soon, alienating her original alliance who are indeed the strongest game players in a weak house.
• True, she teamed up with the best of the weak hamsters (Dominic), but now it appears she's sunk his game as well as her own.
• Daniele is still running around pushing the backdoor Jeff plan.
• Alas, Jeff knows she's doing it. So does Jordan ... and Brendon and Rachel, too.
• Oh yeah, Daniele's betrayal to the alliance has created rifts at first between Jeff/Jordan and Rachel/Brendon.
  
• But they seem to be on the same page realizing that Daniele has basically turned on them all thinking if she's next to Brendon or Rachel at the end, she'd win.
• Well, maybe.
  
• So the four think she's got to go next week if she wins HoH.
• The plan remains for Rachel NOT to use the veto today and they (Brendon, Jeff, Jordan, Shelly and ???) will vote out Dominic.
• They have the tie at four votes, then it's Rachel the tiebreaker coming into play. She'd vote out Dominic.
• Yet the Daniele Camp (Daniele, Dominic, ???) think Brendon and Rachel might actually backdoor Jordan and Jeff with Jeff being the target.
• If the backdoor doesn't happen, they're sure Adam is the target, not Dominic.
• Heh.
• On an annoying note, for a small-chested gal, Daniele is constantly adjusting her bra. Knock that off.
• Porsche, Kalia, Adam and Lawon continue to be almost ghosts in the machinery here. It's hard to tell their game or if they have one at all. Of the three, it's been Adam making lackluster moves to befriend Brenchel.
• Porsche may vote with the veterans, but definitely has a crush on Dominic.
• That doesn't do her any good when Daniele has him wrapped around her little finger.
• Oh. Did I mention that Brendon was condescending and lecturing Rachel again, and even raising his voice?
• And that Rachel got defensive and cried once again?
• And that they had make-up sex again?
• Sorry to ruin your breakfast.
• Jeff is growing more ticked by the minute with Daniele.
• I expect the fur to fly when they have the PoV meeting later today and the nominations remain the same.
• Actually, I'll miss Dominic. I like the kid and he has more game than Adam or Kalia ... but that's the way the hamsters fall.
  

Lawon is sitting pretty in his pink shorts.

Hammock talk

Summit meeting

If there was audio, you'd know why he's exiled.

Big Brother 13 - July 24 Nominations Show Blog Party

The show will be starting soon here on the East Coast. As it airs, I'll update this entry with major happenings. However, the real fun will be down in the comments! Everyone is welcome to chat as the show airs. BYOB!

Luxury comp for all! No Have/Have Not this week. Celebrity -- the normal David Hasselhoff who will switch places with the show biz one. They have to correctly guess the celebrity. Jordan guessed it right on the first clue. No one else got it at all.

The prize is that she and three others will screen Same Name in HoH. She chose Jeff, Shelly and Kalia. Rachel is ticked. Too bad, so sad! Rachel and Brendon both fight. Then they both cry. @@ How old are these two?

Dominic tries wheeling and dealing with Brenchel. Daniele is pushing for a Jeff/Jordan nomination.

Time for nominations -- key order -- Jeff and Jordan, Kalia and Lawon.

Adam and Dominic are on the block again. Purely strategic ...

Off Topic - That Was the Week It Was - July 24, 2011

It's Sunday morning, time for my weekly off television reflection on the week gone by in both words and photos I've taken. If you're looking for BB13 news, check out the post before this one and (likely) the post after it later on today.

One good thing about having knee replacement surgery is that I'm not hiking back and forth to the train for work during this monstrous heatwave. I HATE sweating, especially when my forehead is sweating into my eyes and on my eyeglasses!

I only ventured outside the three days I had to this week -- follow-up appointment with the surgeon on Monday, physical therapy Tuesday and Friday. I wore my typical post-op using public transportation clothes, bulky gym shorts and a t-shirt, along with my sympathy crutch to get the buses to "kneel" and so folks let me sit. For my PT trips, I even wore a sweatband, something I really can't get away with commuting to work.

The kindnesses of strangers when you have a big shark bite surgical incision on your knee continues to surprise me. Two different people I don't know in my building have offered to carry my trash bag out to the Dumpster when they saw me. A woman who didn't speak English had her young daughter bring me a small bottle of water at a bus stop. At another bus stop, a car stopped to go into the bodega and the woman getting out asked if I needed anything.

But then there was the NJ Transit bus driver who not only didn't kneel the bus, he didn't even pull to the side at any of his stops! That was early on Tuesday morning. I won't schedule PT at that time again. I took my time getting on and off the bus. Oh, too bad he had to wait, eh?

My orthopedic surgeon is very pleased with my knee and its progress. I go back in four weeks ... well, three weeks and a day now. My physical therapy is going very well. He hasn't measured the bend since my first visit, so I asked him for the latest. 125 on my own! YES! It still wants to have its good days and bad days, but I know how bad things could be and I'm very happy.

I have another grocery delivery lined up from Peapod tomorrow. Fruit! Meats! Vegetables! Yes!

Here are the photos I've taken this week -- clicking on an image will open it larger in a new window, then hit your Back button on your browser to return to the blog:

Flowers in a fence

I always like man vs. nature themes. Flowers and fences fit the bill. This was on Maple Avenue in Bound Brook where most of the flower photos this week took place. There's a wild garden run amok with flowers right alongside the sidewalk.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Through Saturday Evening 7/23

Are Porsche's duckies all in a row?
Probably not.

To recap things a bit -- Jordan, Jeff, Rachel and Brendon realize that Daniele is working with Dominic and Dominic's working everyone. Initially, when Rachel made the nominations, Adam was the target (provided the veto wasn't used). That seems to be changing despite all the pushing Daniele is doing to save Dominic. Then the veto comp (blocked to the feeds) went down. Brendon won it.

Here's what's been happening in that Big Brother house of Lame Ducks:

• The Veto comp was a spelling the longest word scenario, a bit similar to last year but with soap suds and more letters.
• Brendon spelled "understanding" once again.
• Rachel went into the comp wearing her contacts and was in misery with the soap in her eyes.
• I think the hamsters have a valid point that they should give them goggles.
• Jeff thinks he redeemed himself from his technotronics nightmare of the past.
• Rachel seems to have inhaled soap or something, too. She keeps coughing.
• Most of the hamsters napped but Shelly cleaned.
• Oh, sure ... I'd like her to come here and clean. But her constant cleaning and puttering around adjusting things would drive me up the wall.
• A lot of her excess energy is probably due to the long lockdown. They were locked down all day yesterday and then, after the comp, locked down again for the clean up of the yard.
• That translates to "no smoking."
  
• They think there will be another twist after the Golden Keys end this week.
• They're probably right.
• I probably won't like it.
• Jordan and Shelly had a long talk with Rachel (then with Brendon, too) about Daniele and Dominic.
• The tide seems to be shifting to a Dominic vote for the veterans. With Shelly they have enough votes to make a tie with Rachel being the tie-breaker.
• Will they make the smart move -- keep noms the same and get rid of Dominic instead of Adam? That would leave Daniele dangling and Dominic is more likely to win comps.
• Daniele has gotten way too sloppy in her strategy. While working with Dominic was a good move, she's TOO close to him and everyone knows.
• The other Danielle some seasons back knew better how to work a secret alliance!
  
• Daniele told Rachel that maybe Lawon should go.
• Grasping at straws there, girl.
• BB gave them alcohol again -- one bottle of wine and six beers. Exciting, eh?
• Daniele tried to work on Kalia, telling her that Shelly doesn't like her (Kalia).
• She thinks they can work together.
• More grasping, more straws.
• Kalia is actually a tough one to figure out, but I'm not so sure she's buying what Daniele's selling.
• Kalia told Daniele they need to lay low.
• That's about it. The Veto meeting won't be until Monday, but right now it looks like the nominations should remain the same with Dominic as the target.
• Anything could happen between now and then.
  

Ohhh ... something new to do!

Daniele and Dominic, perhaps not quite a dynamic duo.

OWWW! Brendon's knees are never going to heal in the house!
(So maybe he should go home!)

Established 1970 or long before ...

Big Brother 13 - PoV Comp Update 7/23

Brendon won Power of veto.

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Update - Saturday Morning

Nah, this isn't a full-fledged report -- they haven't given me enough fodder! But there has been an interesting development I feel the need to mention.

In my last report or two, I mentioned how Daniele was pushing Brendon and Rachel for a Jeff/Jordan nomination or backdoor. Well, guess what? Brendon, Rachel, Jeff and Jordan all got together comparing notes. They know that Dominic has approached both couples for deals and that Daniele is probably more loyal to the newbies. Hmmm ...

Porsche was chosen to host the PoV comp. The comp is yet to happen and they're still all stuck inside.

Big Brother Live Feeds Into Saturday Dawn 7/23

Heh. Daniele ripped Brendon's knee scab off while scuffling.

If you haven't read the few short posts preceding this one, please check them out! Here's the scoop on what's been happening in that Big Brother House of Lockdown Lads and Lassies:

• No, I did not call Rachel a dog. Lassies like girls!
• Would I do that?
• Some big backyard doings must be going on for today's PoV comp as they've been locked down inside since early last night.
• The smokers must be going bonkers.
• No one except Rachel (who took two weeks of slop) is on slop this week.
• Even Rachel can eat the stuff she received in the HoH basket.
• Instead of a food comp, they had a luxury comp and a visit from David Hasselhoff.
• They could have mixed comp and Hoff by crawling around on the floor eating fast food and drinking!
• Jordan won the luxury comp and chose two people (beside Jeff) to go into the HoH room for a show.
• Rachel was mad that Jordan won.
• Rachel was mad that Jordan chose Kalia and Shelly instead of her.
• The big show was only Same Name (follows BB13 this Sunday, I believe).
  
• @@
• Daniele keeps trying to get Brendon and Rachel to consider backdooring Jordan and Jeff.
• Dominic continues to work with Daniele, yet has also been trying to worm his way in with the two power couples at different times.
• When the nominations came down, Rachel nominated Adam and Dominic.
• She says that Adam is the target.
• Daniele has been pushing for the Dominic save, but Rachel also thinks if the "floaters" stay to the end, it will be too late.
• Supposedly if they get saved by the veto, Lawon and Kalia will go up with Lawon the probably target.
• Yet Daniele is still pushing for the power move of Jeff and Jordan.
• Rachel says she'll worry about it when the time comes -- right now they should plan on Adam going home.
• With them locked inside all night and poor camera work -- extended time watching Rachel and Porsche play game and Shelly going wild cleaning and straightening, the feeds were "eh" last night.
• Most of the game talk has been talked before (and will be talked again).
• Porsche, who doesn't seem to really have a plan (or a clue), might actually have one. She warned Rachel that she thinks Daniele will betray the veterans.
• Oh my. Except for her misguided loyalty to Rachel, she might actually be thinking!
• In a spot of tomfoolery, Daniele accidentally ripped one of the scabs off of Brendon's knee.
• "It's a good thing nominations are over!"
• Like she could be nominated with that Golden Key anyway.
• But it was funny.
  
• Brendon exaggerated the injury for comic relief, but I think he was a bit upset underneath the act.
• Shelly and Dominc had a long talk. She told him that Daniele is out for herself and how she used Nick in BB8.
• Dominic is trying to get in everyone's ear. If he doesn't watch it, he might end up being a Brian with all of his deals and alliances outed.
• PoV players will be picked and PoV will be played later today.
• I anticipate a late PoV as BB gave them alcohol last night, albeit not much.
• Usually they give them none when anticipating an early comp.
• We'll see.
  

If Kalia doesn't stop waving that thing around ...

The dog knows it all

Well, yeah ...

Jellybean stick figures

Big Brother 13 Live Feeds Bulletin - Nominations and More 7/22

Another long feeds block endured.

First (as I'm still waiting for them to talk more about noms), they're talking how David Hasselhoff seemed to be on some kind of drugs and how far downhill he's gone. Oh my.

Okay, it's Adam and Dominic on the block.
