Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Into Monday Afternoon - July 23

Paranoia the destroyer ... Joe

Just another day in the Habitrail. We really need to teach these hamsters new tricks to amuse us! Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Falling Cards:
  • Unlike his usual practice, Boogie was only up first briefly. He didn't go outside, just to the bathroom.
  • Like his usual practice, he didn't wash his hands.
  • Ew.
  • JoJo was the first actually up this morning, taking in some early morning smokes. I'd imagine she's tense due to the upcoming eviction ... even if she thinks she might be safe.
  • Shane and Frank have a safety deal going on for next week if Shane wins HoH.
  • Shane's worried about being backdoored next week if he doesn't win HoH.
  • He probably should worry no matter what Frank and Boogie tell him.
  • As I announced earlier, Shane saved his own butt with the Veto. He might not know the game well, but he's not foolish!
  • As expected, Frank nominated Danielle in his place to be on the block with JoJo.
  • JoJo thinks America loves her and Shane because they're "so real."
  • Cough.
  • I like to ogle Shane. I don't love HoJo JoJo.
  • Janelle thinks "Shane sucks and is bland."
  • Jackie thinks "Shane is fine eye candy."
  • Janelle and Ashley want to distance themselves (on the surface) from Danielle and suggested she (Danielle) try to work herself in with Ian.
  • Oh great. Another inorganic chemistry discussion!
  • Heck, it's still better than the previous season hamsters always talking movies and movie stars!
  • Ian told Danielle that he thinks she will be safe.
  • Shhh, Ian! Loose lips and all, y'know!
  • Dan wore a hat Memphis gave him.
  • JoJo (a recruit who never watched the show until she was in sequester) has no clue who Memphis is.
  • @@
  • Not a heck of a lot going on ...

The lovely (cough) JoJo


Will JoJo go go?

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds - Power of Veto Quickie - July 23

Just a quick note -- as expected, Shane took himself off the block. Danielle is up in his place. But we knew that would happen. A full report will be up here in a while.

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Report Through Sunday Night - July 22-23

GAH! They have Ian smoking!

Ian promised his mother he wouldn't smoke in the house. Ian doesn't smoke. He said he'd partake in some of the alcohol because, after all, he is 21 years old. "But, no, Mom. I won't smoke." GAH! I blame JoJo.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Bad Influences:
  • They're trying to figure out what the next twist will be --- a team reshuffle? Someone coming back?
  • We know as much as they know about that ... nothing.
  • Boogie would like Jenn and Ian to step up and win some comps.
  • I can see Ian winning a mental one. But Jenn? Hmmm ...
  • Boogie told Ian not to talk strategy with Joe because Joe's way too paranoid.
  • I personally think that Joe is just a teensy bit more stable than Willie Hantz.
  • He's not only paranoid and puts his fingers in food, he also runs around instigating problems.
  • After an extended indoor lockdown due to some concert in the area, the hamsters found a new bocce ball set in the yard.
  • Janelle made apple crisp and then regretted it. She said she should have put herself on slop this week because she's eating too much.
  • Wil told Joe that they should get rid of Frank or Ian next week and team up with Shane.
  • Silly Wil. Why tell Joe anything?
  • Why team up with Joe?
  • JoJo is continuing to quietly offend people with her crassness.
  • Hey, she's Staten Island. That can be abrasive without even trying!
  • 'Nuff said.
  • They had dancing lessons amongst themselves. For what it was worth ...
  • Ashley braided Danielle's hair.
  • It still looks like JoJo will be going home this week.
  • The PoV meeting hasn't been held yet, but Shane is going to save himself. (Duh.)
  • Danielle will probably go on the block.
  • But no one really wants to send her home and boot Dan from the game so early.
  • Plus, JoJo is more abrasive than Danielle.
  • After JoJo gave Ian a cigarette, he claims he smokes one a day.
  • He doesn't look comfortable smoking cigarettes.
  • JoJo told Ian she's bisexual.
  • Hopefully Jenn will run the other way!
  • Shane, who's been teaming up with Frank and Boogie on the sly, thinks that Wil is his biggest threat.
  • I'd be leery of Joe.
  • But, hey ... that's just me.  

Frank marches to the beat of victory

Will Dan still be here Friday?

Big Brother 14: Nominations & WILLIE Episode Blog Party - July 22

BB12 Blogo 3

Now, tonight's show should be good! It's even starting on time here on the East Coast! WOOHOO! I'll update this entry with major events as they air here. However, as always ... the real fun is in the comments area. Come join us!

Coaches comp time -- 90s urban scene wearing MC Hammer harem pants. Transfer cash along balance beam. Dan will throw it to keep his weak team persona. Brit was doing the best, then dropped cash and got the boot. Boogie screwed up and stepped off before hitting the button, Janelle wins!

Janelle chooses to save Ashley. The Have Nots are: Willie, JoJo, Shane and Ian.

Pork rinds and pudding are the Have Not treats.

Finally, the Willie drama. He tells the crew in HoH he's going to get evicted before he gets evicted. He claims he doesn't want his team to suffer for his actions. Ohhh! Joe said something, Willie chased him to the bathroom. So far all we saw is Willie looking threatening and Joe in some odd boxer protective stance while Ian started to head into the fray, then decided not to.

Allison Grodner announced to the HG that Willie is gone.

Due to the drama, they're going to have both nominations and PoV on the Wednesday show.

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Into Sunday Afternoon - July 22

Explaining his normal day at college

When the hamsters don't have much to do, things tend to get a bit on the boring side. Right now, other than the usual HoH dreams down the road, the only thing on the agenda is the PoV meeting. Here's what's been going down in that Big Brother House of Bodacious Beauties (er, well ...):
  • Obviously, Shane will be removing himself from the block. He's no Marcellas!
  • Almost as obviously, Danielle will be going on the block with JoJo.
  • So, the only dilemma will be who to send home.
  • While Danielle thinks she's surely out the door, she's probably wrong.
  • Y'see, Frank and Boogie have been scheming with Shane.
  • JoJo will be the likely target, although Shane has already told them he needs (due to loyalty) to vote to save her.
  • I actually won't miss JoJo if she go-goes.
  • But, Danielle wouldn't really be missed by me, either.
  • As long as my pretty pool boy Shane stays in the game!
  • Some of the hamsters had margaritas yesterday.
  • I'm thinking they might get beer or wine tonight as there are no comps set.
  • Wil brought up the point that Willie had spoken of his felony arrest for beating up a new boyfriend of an ex of his.
  • Huh. Was it that important to get a Hantz in the house that they needed one with a felony record of violence?
  • Janelle admitted a shoplifting (make-up) charge is on her record dating back to when she was a teenager.
  • Janelle also said she'd like to be on Survivor. Now, that could be interesting!
  • They really haven't done much this morning.
  • For some reason, they have Ian detailing his regular day and Resident Assistant duties at the dorm.
  • I don't like how JoJo seems to be mocking him with her facial expressions while the rest just keep asking him questions.
  • I believe, although Boogie doesn't keep him in the loop as close as he does Frank, Ian is in much better straits with the house on the whole.
  • How can you not like the kid?
  • On the other hand, Joe is kind of dangerous. He loves to run around instigating problems with bits and pieces he's heard.
  • Boogie is actually putting a more normal face on in the house despite the Diary Room sessions you see on the show.
  • He has matured some.
  • The ego bit seems more reserved for television this season, not the way he's actually been in the house.
  • Oh my.
  • There ya go -- a whole lotta nuthin' with the exception that the target seems to be shifting to JoJo.
  • Stop on back later for the show blog party!

Fearful Danielle

I totally understand, Britney.

Eek, Tom Cruise with Bieber hair!

Off Topic - That Was the Week It Was - July 22, 2012

Good Sunday morning to y'all! For those folks looking for Big Brother live feeds reports, my most recent one is here. I will be posting another one sometime this afternoon -- there hasn't been much happening since the last one. You may want to skip over this post. Every Sunday I post an off television topic reflection on the week gone by in both words and photographs I've taken. And, this is it! You've been warned.

As for this week ... I've met the Zombie Apocalypse and its name is Jackie.

Returning to work after vacation is always a challenge for me. Various people have been in my office filling in for me. So, returning is always greeted with bizarre things done, my office stuff moved around and you name it. This past Monday I was also greeted with training a new manager in there while it's all discombobulated. Sigh.

Then I was informed that on Tuesday we would be receiving a visit from (afar) to certify us as a "University" location ... training any and all new management. I had to get the layout of my office up to their specs and make sure everything was perfect. I was there nearly 12 hours on Monday. Sigh.

Mind you, I had also been sick the first part of my vacation and was still feeling not quite up to par.

There was also yet another heat wave. I hate heat waves. With all the science and technology, you'd think that climate control could be an actuality. It's bad enough we don't have flying cars in every garage. Is climate control too much to ask? It could be the end of droughts ... and severe heat waves!

Then, of course, it was the first full week of my busy blogging season, too. I have to get back into the swing of that. When you blog Big Brother live feeds reports two or three times a day atop a really full time job, well ... it's not the easiest thing and sleep gets cast aside for a few months.

Between being the Walking Dead and the weather being a gazillion degrees with high humidity or raining, I really didn't feel inspired to take many photos. But I did take a few I like and want to share with you. Clicking on an image will open it on a new page, clicking again will make it larger. Just close out the new page to return back here to the blog.

Woodpecker
Woody!

I heard him before I saw him. This was early in the morning as I headed to the train, so the light wasn't really great. But there he (she?) was on East Front Street in Plainfield. Because I'm not really seeing the top of the head, I'm taking a guess that it's either a Hairy Woodpecker or a Red-Bellied Woodpecker.

Moth
Mothy!

Don't even expect me to know what kind of moth this is! Also on East Front Street.

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Report Into Saturday Evening - July 21

Britney talks to the live feeders

Without Little Willie, the house is definitely not quite as on edge as it's been. Yet, edge is still there. This coach twist is creating situations unlike we've seen before on the show. Should the new hamsters do their coach's bidding? What if they prefer an alliance with someone from another team? The more I watch, the more unfair it does seem to the hamsters. They're really not being allowed to play their own games. Oh, well.

What's been happening in the Big Brother House of Hilarious Hijinks? Read on ...
  • If I lived there, I would NOT eat any food Joe prepared.
  • What kind of chef keeps digging into the food with his fingers, eating some, licking his fingers?
  • EW! Culinary school does NOT teach that, I know they don't!
  • Ian saved some of the pork rinds in a baggie, saying he's going to sell them on eBay.
  • Yeah, that'll work.
  • The PoV comp, blocked to the feeds, went down.
  • My pool boy Shane won. Way cool!
  • Danielle is sure she's going on the block.
  • I'm sure she's right.
  • Too bad, so sad.
  • The pads BB gave them for the weird beds in the Have Not room helped a bit.
  • I still wouldn't want to try to sleep in one of those beds!
  • Britney and Boogie think number-wise, the evicted hamster this week should go to the jury house (9 jury members), but week-wise it wouldn't work out.
  • Danielle cried.
  • There's your big excitement for the day.

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Quickie - PoV

I'll be posting a full report later tonight, but feel the need to mention that Shane won the Power of Veto!

Yay!

 

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Into Saturday Morning - July 21

Discussions

Oh my. Willie threw a temper tantrum and got expelled from the house due to physical violence (head-butting Joe). Are any of us REALLY surprised? Undereducated and unable to control his temper. Oh well. I dedicate the following song to Willie Hantz ... but he DID go home!

 

Here's the skinny on the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Bad Examples:
  • Everyone is basically getting along.
  • Frank had a long talk with both of the nominees -- Shane and JoJo.
  • They were nominated mainly because they did indeed follow Willie and vote to evict Frank.
  • Danielle voted for Kara but she had told Frank before the vote that she had promised her and wouldn't break her word.
  • Boogie is on the top of the world and suddenly not sleeping so much.
  • The gold (harem) pants Dan wore for the coaches comp were referred to as MC Hammer pants. Hmm.
  • Most shave their pubic hair.
  • We don't really need to know that, do we?
  • Today the PoV comp should be held.
  • Laters!  

Julie Chen is his homegirl? Don't think so!

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Bulletin - The Exit and Nominations

After a severely long feeds block, the live feeds are back on.

Buh-bye, Willie, worst Hantz of them all
Willie Hantz is no longer in the house. Right now it sounds like he DOR'd -- voluntarily quit. Before they cut the live feeds, he wanted to fight some one. So he may have gotten the boot.  Anyway, he's gone. The worst Hantz of them all.

The bad thing is that his team is still on Have Not this week because of his actions last week and now Shane will probably be targeted.

Update: Shane and JoJo are on the block. Shane is the target.
Gee, thanks, Willie.

Second update: BB is giving them ALL pizza, including the Have Nots. They're all thanking Willie.

Third Update: Willie was definitely expelled from the game, didn't quit. (Although he was trying to get expelled.) Apparently it did have to do with physical threats or action against Joe. Joe is perfectly fine. No one is hurt.

Interesting Note: Frank, the "unemployed beach bum," owns a house and has tenants. So, he isn't really unemployed and a bum.

Fourth Update: Physical violence is the reason for expulsion -- head-butting Joe. Yes, he threw pork rinds at Janelle and called everyone vile names. But the latter is not a valid reason for expulsion. It was the head-butting of Joe that did it.

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Report Friday Daytime - July 20

Jenn kisses her teddy bears ... aww

Frank in a hoodie

I'm still a bit thrown off with the timing of events with the coaches aspect. It used to be that food comps (which we sometimes actually saw on the live feeds) were on Fridays, nominations Friday evening. Now, in lieu of food comps, it's the coaches comp on Fridays as the winning coach decides the Have Nots. I would think that noms should be later tonight, but I don't know for sure. As I get this typed up, the feeds have been blocked with trivia for quite some time as they do the coaches comp.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Lonely Loonies:
  • Janelle thinks Britney is mad at her because she (Brit) kept Janelle's team members safe, then evicted the way they wanted, not how Britney wanted.
  • I don't think that's it.
  • I think Britney first got irked because Janelle got joined at the hip with Wil and schemed with Dan, then Boogie.
  • Shame on Janey, I say!
  • Then again, I think Janelle wanted to distance herself from Loose Cannon Willie. I can't blame her for that.
  • Boogie already told Britney if she wins the coaches comp and trades off Willie, they'll target Shane instead.
  • Frank told her if she trades off Willie to anyone other than Dan, he'll nominate two people from her team.
  • Obviously, they don't want Willie!
  • It's fairly carved in the concrete that if Willie remains on Britney's team, he's sure to go home this week.
  • If she trades him off, he won't go home but they'll seek revenge for saddling someone else with him.
  • Hantz Magic!
  • The best part of all of this is that it's taken the focus off of nominating Ian.
  • While he's quirky, odd and rocks a lot ... he's more interesting than many on the live feeds. He's so out of place there that it makes it a bit intriguing.
  • Willie's HOH blog is up on the CBS site. Short and about third grade reading level writing. Oh my.
  • FINALLY -- feeds are back on after coaches comp!
  • Willie is moving into the Have Not room.
  • The Have Nots got the pudding and um ... forgot what went with it. That choice, though.
  • Was it pork rinds? That's what it looks like.
  • Willie is sure he's getting evicted, is acting out, using the "c" word and says he's not even going to try for PoV.
  • Britney is trying to convince to stop acting like a four-year-old and affecting others' games.
  • He's looking for a fight.
  • Jerk.
  • Now it's cut back to trivia.
  • Grr. I want to SEE. 
  • If he does indeed fight anyone, he won't have to worry about being evicted on Thursday. He'll get the boot tonight.
  • It also sounds like he might be thinking of DOR -- quitting.
  • Janelle apparently won the coaches comp and no trades were made. I don't know who's safe, but I'd predict Wil.
  • I'll post more a bit later after the feeds return.

Shane, Vermont's finest

Dan's shiny gold comp pants

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Into Friday Morning - July 20

Frank is HoH because Boogie is so great. Cough.

 So, the tides have turned and Boogie is acting like Frank's HoH win is all due to him. In reality, Frank's win is solely due to Frank. Of the four coaches, Boogie has done the least, often choosing napping over coaching. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Fractured Follies:
  • Britney is miserable. She really doesn't know what to do.
  • Willie told her not to "save" him if she wins the coaches comp.
  • The general consensus this week is that Willie must go.
  • Well, duh.
  • That's such a surprise!
  • Ian doesn't want Willie to be bamboozled out.
  • I don't think Ian realizes his name keeps coming up on the short list of folks to go away soon.
  • Boogie and Frank are turning to their own little bullying ways -- they say if Willie wins PoV, they'll put up another from his team in lieu of him.
  • Joe thinks both Shane and Willie should be put up together to ensure one goes home.
  • I don't want to lose my eye candy!
  • And, I'm surely not talking about Willie ...
  • Dan and Boogie don't want to be saddled with ANY of Britney's team if a trade is won by her.
  • Ian is vehemently against backdooring people. He thinks it's a lowdown way to go.
  • When Frank got his HoH room, despite speculation, Willie attended the festivities.
  • He was the first to leave, heading out to the yard to smoke a cigarette.
  • Poor Britney -- it's now all three coaches against her.
  • Sigh. I had high hopes for a BritJan takeover of the season.
  • Ian admits that Willie does need to go as he had been a bully, but they shouldn't be sneaky about it.
  • Right now, other than Willie being the target (duh), I'm not sure who Frank will nominate.
  • Most are still awake as I get this posted.

Big Brother 14: Live Eviction Show Blog Party! July 19

BB12 Blogo 3

Although one hamster left last week, this is our first live eviction show of the season. What's that mean for us? It's PARTAY time! I'll be posting the major events of the show right here in this post. However, the real fun is the party in comments. Come watch the show with us!

The voting to evict -- Willie will only vote if there's a tie --

Danielle -- Frank
Shane -- Frank
Joe -- Kara
Ian -- Kara
Commercial time
JoJo -- Frank
Jenn -- Kara
Wil -- Kara
Ashley -- Kara

As it was decided on the feeds, close ... but Kara is going home.

The HoH comp has to do with the BBTV New Bulletins. Cat Burglar films. It's a question and answer comp.

Frank is the new HoH! Willie stomped off.

Twist for coaches -- the coach who wins this week's comp can keep one of their people safe OR trade a player. Only HoH isn't eligible for the trade.

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Report into Thursday Afternoon - July 19

Frank packs his bag

Remember to stop by tonight for the live eviction Blog Party -- the post will be up by 9pm EDT.

What's been happening since I last posted? Well, they had an unbelievable amount of "BBTV Special Bulletins." Oh my. They'd just lie down and the alarm would go off again. Poor hamsters. Oh, well. They knew the job was dangerous when they took it!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Harried Hamsters --
  • Danielle, who is probably the least likely to win any comp, told Dan she threw both the veto and HoH. @@
  • I don't know if you can claim "throw" when you just "can't."
  • Kara cried.
  • I may be mistaken, but I don't think Boogie even bothered to go to at least one alarm.
  • It's possible I didn't see.
  • I guess.
  • Items were going missing from the house, so they must have been burglar alerts. They were blocked to the feeds.
  • In the actual morning, Boogie talked to the Internet and one bear.
  • A lot.
  • Since his outburst with Frank, Willie's been trying to bully ...er, convince people to keep Kara.
  • It still looks like Kara is going.
  • They're in the primping and cleaning mode pre-live show now. 

Hamsters gather for a BBTV Special Bulletin

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Into Thursday Morning 7/19

To be a teddy bear cuddling with Shane ...
Frick and Frack

Now, if these hamsters had any common sense, they'd be in bed now. After all, they have a huge day ahead -- live eviction, new HoH. But noooooo, they are still up as I get this written. What's up (besides the hamsters) in that Big Brother House of Deluded Egos? Read on ...
  • Joe took all the nicotine patches and hid them to drive the smokers crazy.
  • Supposedly, it's still Kara going tonight.
  • So ... why are they all awake?
  • Why, it's because of BBTV Special News Bulletins, of course!
  • Teletype alarms have been going off through the house at odd intervals and they all have to gather in the living room.
  • They're blocking the exact content of the bulletins, so don't ask me.
  • We're going to have tired hamsters on the show tonight if this continues.
  • Apparently there are images unrelated to what the voice of BBTV is telling them.
  • They're working together in the pre-set teams trying to memorize things.
  • Wil/Janelle, etc. have noticed things missing from the storage room.  

Searching for clues

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Into Wednesday Evening - July 18

I have the cutest pool boy!

The technical issues with the feeds really need to stop. I mean, we have meaningless fish and unexpected trivia even. Sheesh! I had a few issues here myself as my power got knocked for a while by a storm.

As I get this typed up, I'm listening to Britney light into Willie. Cool. What's been going on inside that Big Brother House of Misfit Toys? Read on ...
  • The Janelle/Britney alliance split is still on. Sigh.
  • Dan wants to work with Janelle, not Britney or Boogie.
  • Willie's big non-physical fight with Frank has had a ripple effect throughout the house.
  • Frank came out of it smelling like a rose.
  • Willie not so much.
  • His New Hamster Revolution Against Coaches has also, in the end, had a negative effect on his game.
  • Silly Willie.
  • Janelle seriously needs to, at least for appearances, chill it a bit with Wil.
  • He's like a teacher's pet! That isn't a good thing in a houseful of children.
  • Right now it's still looking like Kara will go, probably a close vote.
  • If it's a tie, Willie will take Frank out.
  • Britney has gumption! Listening to her light into Willie about his stupidity and foolish actions was a hoot!
  • I swear he said "I'm sorry" at least 100 times.
  • They were on an indoor lockdown and went out to find a cornhole game.
  • So they should be practicing a lot tonight.
  • Yawn. 

That room makes me dizzy

Burn that cap!

Ashley looks haggard a lot

Big Brother 14: PoV Episode Blog Party - July 18

BB12 Blogo 3

So, tonight the hamsters vie for the Power of Veto. Will there be fisticuffs? Well, probably not. Perhaps we'll see some good footage, though.

As always, I'll update this entry with any major happenings. However, the real fun will be in the comments. Come join in the conversation! Bring beverages and snacks -- we already have the cozy chairs ...

Veto comp time -- huge washing machine. Race through the suds, find a coin, thow into coin slot on their machine. $1.30 exactly.

Shane wins!

The America's Choice for have not food -- liverwurst and licorice, pork rinds and pudding, tofu and taffy.

Veto meeting time -- to not create waves, Shane does not use the veto.

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Updates Into Wednesday Morning 7/18

JoJo

I think we might be due for a wager at this point. Will this crew of hamsters make it through the summer without fisticuffs or a walk-out? I mean, really, it's more than a house divided. It's mini-wars! What's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Bad Examples? Read on!
  • The timing is askew this season. Willie did do his blog entry last night surrounded by mystery and speculation.
  • But then they also gave him the HoH digital camera last night.
  • That usually goes down in the daytime on Wednesdays.
  • Huh.
  • They decided they'd have a "family" dinner last night.
  • Extremely dysfunctional family, I say!
  • It seems like the tightest mini-alliances are Wil and Janelle with sometimes Joe and Britney/Willie.
  • Wil cried because he thinks Willie made some derogatory references to his sexuality.
  • Willie denies it. 
  • I didn't hear exactly what Willie said. I wouldn't be surprised either way.
  • Dan thinks Britney sucks the life out of him because she's so negative.
  • Kara has decided that Shane is dead to her because he won't promise to help her stay in the game and will vote whatever way the house does.
  • Willie and Frank had a shouting match in the yard.
  • No fisticuffs.
  • Frank says that Willie did mock Wil.
  • Willie is aghast at Frank's "betrayal."
  • And on it goes.
  • Now Willie's trying to change the waffling vote once again -- this time to save Kara.
  • Apparently Boogie thinks Frank blew his chance to stay last night.
  • I don't know.
  • I'm getting dizzy.

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Into Tuesday Evening 7/17

Dan can still smile!

But I don't think Dan is smiling as much as he planned so far this season. He's more like a troubled man singing a troubled song than he is a cheerleader. Of course, he thinks that Kara is probably safe. He knows that Britney and Janelle despise Mike Boogie. He knows that, of the two on the block, removing Frank would remove a more powerful threat from the game. And, heck ... Frank's Boogie's guy! I mean, all common sense would have Frank going out the door this week.

But when did common sense dictate play in that Big Brother House of Sinking Ships? Read on to take a peek on today's happenings --
  • I really wish Mike Boogie weren't an early riser.
  • I'm not sure I want to start out my day with him. It might cast a pall over the rest of the day.  A bad omen. A demon seed. Something.
  • That said, Willie (who was up most of the night), joined Boogie this morning.
  • Willie thinks that the numbers don't crunch, someone will be coming back.
  • Maybe. But we know it's not Jodi. She wasn't sequestered. We'll have to see if Kara the evictee this week gets sequestered.
  • Willie, in his current streak of promising everyone everything under the sun, told him he'll protect Frank no matter what.
  • Of course, we know that won't keep Frank. And we know BritJan and Co. have already decided to keep him.
  • The hamsters decided to call their own house meeting.
  • It was like a little rodent uprising with their little whiskers moving, noses twitching and everything!
  • We don't NEED the coaches! The coaches need US!
  • Joe was the first one to crack for Janelle -- most of the ire behind the meeting was the rumor that the coaches will return.
  • That was fueled by no one other than Mr. Willie Hantz.
  • In between feeds getting cut (Housesguest, you are NOT allowed to talk about production!), Janelle got out that her contract says they cannot compete in the game, nor can they go to the jury house.
  • Joe is still one paranoid dude who thinks he's a target.
  • Janelle thinks Willie reminds her of Cappy from BB6 and that he's a bully.
  • Janelle has thought all along they should get rid of Frank this week.
  • It's waffled back and forth.
  • But it's been stuck on a Kara Ouster the past few days.
  • Britney thinks Janelle is now working with Dan instead of her.
  • Frank is now suspicious of the one who's been adamant about keeping him since the noms -- Willie.
  • The pressure is not only getting to the hamsters, but to the coaches as well.
  • Britney and Janelle, originally inseparable and claiming Boogie would try to tear them apart ... have been drifting apart.
  • Britney ended up having a breakdown, crying all of her problems to Janelle.
  • Apparently she thought this Returning Rodent gig would be much easier on her than it has been.
  • There was a long enough period of blocked feeds to be a comp!
  • Supposedly, Willie broke down (or something).
  • He packed his bag and went into the Diary Room.
  • When he finally came out, he was very tight-lipped.
  • He just said things change all the time.
  • Oh my.
  • It's more likely related to his HoH Blog and Twitter, but he likes drama.
  • Laters, Folks!

Big Brother 14: Live Feeds Through Late Night Monday 7/16-17

The drugs are wearing off

My apologies for not posting last night. I had some technical difficulties. Thankfully, the main event of the day was still waffling. Yep, you heard me. Kara or Frank. Frank or Kara. This is what happens when you put up two people without a target in mind.

Here's some of the stuff that's been going on in that Big Brother House of Chicken and Waffles:
  • Joe and Wil don't trust Willie.
  • Willie doesn't trust them either.
  • Boogie thinks that Britney and Janelle are smart enough to realize they could sign Dan's eviction papers by voting out Kara.
  • Although that's exactly the reason they have waffled back to booting Kara.
  • Cracks are appearing in the veneer -- Janelle and Wil will eventually be targeting Willie, a Britney team member.
  • Ian is still a wandering lost by.
  • What I'm noticing is that the "devotion" to their particular coaches and chosen teams isn't going to last.
  • Cross-alliances are already striking up.
  • Willie told Ashley he wants to take her and JoJo to the end.
  • She believes him.
  • Shades of Russell
  • Britney, Ashley and Willie think the only person Janelle really cares about is Wil.
  • But, for now ... it looks like it's Kara going out the door.
  • For now. 

But I don't WANT Kara to go

Take Kara out, not me!

I'm the best player ever at BB!
