Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds Overnight into Thursday - July 14

 

Adoption, not eviction!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Who Went Missing:

• Yes, this isn't my normal more lengthy report.
• Yes, that's a cat.
• No, the cat is not in the BB House.
• But we went to adoptable animals yesterday evening.
• They're usually reserved for when feeds are down for comps and such.
• We STILL have adoptable animals this morning.
• There is no comp.
• Fairly reliable sources say Paloma is gone.
• Whether self-evict or removal, it's not known.
• Apparently, while Taylor went around one to one apologizing, talking, trying to keep herself in the house ... something went down with Paloma.
• We saw nothing more than Paloma's usual manic discussions which leave my head spinning.
• That's all I have for you.
• If Paloma is indeed gone (which it seems she is), I doubt the feeds will return until after tonight's live show.

Taylor worked on the crowd

Big Brother: BB24 Power of Veto Show Blog Party - July 13

 

Good evening. I hope everyone is comfy in air conditioning. Although it's been hot and humid here in the NJ/NYC Metro area, we're cool compared to a lot of the country.

Tonight is the Power of Veto Show. Remember, the Backstage hamsters cannot compete in any comps. That would be Pooch, Brittany, Alyssa and Pesky Paloma. Michael and Terrance have been nominated for eviction.

I will be live-blogging the major events of the show as it airs here on the East Coast. Please don't post any spoilers from the live feeds in the comments of this show post! That said, the real party (without spoilers) is in the comments section -- I hope to see you there!

Previously on and blah, blah, blah.

Ah, they admit that "almost immediately Paloma didn't like Taylor." She forms a girls alliance sans Taylor. Heh. Paloma thinks Newark is the happiest place on earth. I don't think so. I live near there. 

Michael tries to talk to Daniel. He tells us he will get his revenge although he's being nicey-nice to Daniel. Meanwhile, Daniel sees right through his act.

Daniel tells Terrance that his heart is breaking over nominating him. Now, if it upset him that much, why did he put him on the block? Put the only older guy on the block as a pawn? Not a good idea!

Taylor is putting on a fashion show. The guys are enjoying it and it gives the mean girls more of a reason to target her. Mind you, fashion shows are not my thing. But it's not something that would make me target someone for eviction in the BB House.

Michael wants to shop around for allies in the veto comp. No one seems to want to commit. He understands that if he wants the veto, he will have to win it for himself.

Time to pick players for the veto comp. Daniel draws Indy. Michael draws Turner. Terrance draws Ameerah.

Heh, Michael, talking to himself/us, asks WWJD? What would Janelle do? Janelle has to be thrilled with him.

Veto comp time! It's like a Medieval Faire. Kyle hosts. Head-to-head bouts. Knights jousting kind of thing. They have to collect rings with their "lances." No real horses! 

Turner and Indy up first.  Indy two rings, Turner one. Second pass -- Indy is up to three, Turner still has just one. Last pass, Indy wins five to one. Turner eliminated.

Ameerah and Terrance. First pass -- Ameerah three, Terrance zero. Pass two -- Ameerah remains at three, Terrance is up to two. Third pass -- with a final score of seven to two, Ameerah wins the bout.

Daniel and Michael. First pass -- Daniel one, Michael three. Second pass -- Daniel is up to four, Michael five. Third pass -- Michael wins with a total of nine to seven.

Ameerah versus Indy in the second round. Ameerah twelve, Indy six.

Michael versus Ameerah. On the first pass, they each have three rings. Second pass -- they each add five, so it's eight rings each. Last pass -- they tie at four more each. Sudden death time! Michael gets four more while Ameerah clocks in with three.

MICHAEL wins the Golden Power of Veto, says this one is for Janelle ... and his fiancé at home.

The girls talk girls alliance. They are concerned the guys are working together. Well, um. Oh my, they even talk to Taylor about it. She isn't that paranoid about the guys -- tells us it's too early to worry about that. Paloma tells us she just can't talk to Taylor because "she's not a girls girl." Hmm.

Taylor tells Monte, Michael and a few others about Paloma saying she wants to target the guys. Of course, now Paloma, when she gets wind of it, vows to ruin Taylor. Joseph thinks Paloma's lie defending herself is the truth. Gah.

Paloma tells her girls that Taylor is spreading lies about her. Jasmine believes her. But Ameerah hopes she is telling the truth. Hmm. Monte thinks Taylor lied about Paloma saying she wanted to target two "big players." GAH! Everyone is believing Paloma's lies! Nicole is skeptical but tells us the house does have an issue with Taylor.

Taylor tries talking to Daniel. Now, Daniel told us he's leaning towards her because "the whole house wants her out." That would be the least amount of "blood on his hands." He admits to her that some had brought her name up.

Taylor cries to herself. She's worried that she will be on the block. She had been feeling secure.

Time for the veto meeting. Naturally, Michael saves himself. Daniel nominates Taylor in Michael's place. He says it's because she's been rubbing the house the wrong way although he himself has no problem with her. Hmm.

Taylor cries. Terrance is confident he will not be going home.

Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds into Wednesday Morning - July 13

 

Jasmine does not rock my socks

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Pesky Paloma:

• More and more people are catching onto Paloma's non-stop manic ways.
• Even Paloma's buddy Alyssa is warning others to be careful what they say to Paloma because Paloma will twist it and blow it up.
• I myself can't listen to her more than five minutes before my head starts spinning.
• I swear that girl needs some kind of meds!
• Indy has come into her own. While she might be more familiar with Brazilian BB and the way it's played, she isn't scared to speak up.
• She wants to know just what Taylor did to upset people.
• Plus she actually schooled Paloma when Paloma asked Taylor what the proper term for Black people is these days.
• "Google it! It's not Taylor's job to educate you!"
• Yay, Indy!
• I don't know. I think it's a rude question. I know quite a few people who refuse to identify as African- American because they have no Africa ties. But they are indeed Black. 
• It's not a question I would ask. The only time I've discussed it is when friends brought it up. Yeah, they're Black, some African-American, some not.
• Brittany is a bundle of paranoid nerves. She's worried about what will happen with the Backstage Pass people. 
• She might want to worry more about her name being thrown about as a target next week.
• So far Taylor, Brittany and Alyssa have had crying jags.
• So much for a strong woman alliance.
• Maybe next season sans Paloma, the Stirrer.

Mr. Boss Man ... um, well.

Stop making duck lips at us!

Shades of Home Alone with 16

Indy is now defending Taylor

Macho macho men ...

Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds into Tuesday Morning - July 12

 

Too late to be nice to Taylor now

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Gullible Gophers:

• As you know from my last post, Taylor was the renom when Michael saved himself with the Power of Veto.
• We all knew that would happen.
• Taylor knew it would happen, too. She has no clue WHY, though.
• I'll just look at Paloma and point.
• Of course, Paloma is all of a sudden acting like Taylor's confidante and BFF.
• I can't understand that they're not seeing Paloma for what she is -- poison.
• Well, wait ... it seems to be slowly dawning on some that something is off with her -- Monte and Kyle spoke of it.
• Joseph, Brittany, Michael and Nicole seem the most understanding towards Taylor.
• Brittany is a bundle of nerves over the Backstage bit.
• Monte talked to Taylor. Hmm ... now he wants to be understanding? I don't think so. He's a lot like Paloma but far less manic.
• So far, I'm not thrilled with anyone in the cast.
• Joseph seems the most likable. But being a good guy doesn't give you much credit in the BB House.

Kyle is there but basically invisible

I'm not thrilled with either Jasmine or Turner

Joe consoles Brittany

Block party?

Here, Pooch, that's a good boy!

Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds POV Meeting Bulletin - July 11

 

Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat ...

Well, well, well. Totally predictable. Expected the expected. Daniel first put the oldest guy in the cast on the block and a gay guy. Now he buys what the house is selling and puts up Taylor as the renom when Michael took himself down. Now, Daniel himself balked at putting up two Black people but did it anyway.

And, rubbing salt in the wound -- PALOMA who started the anti-Taylor brigade due to what seems like petty jealousy -- is now trying to be her best friend, claiming they're family and all. Gag me now. Taylor is in tears.

Shut up, Paloma. YOU did this to her!

Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds Report into Monday Morning - July 11

 

BB is not the dream she had imagined

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of wicked Ways:

• The anti-Taylor Movement continues in the house.
• At this point I'm surprised Paloma isn't on a streak about the way she breathes.
• I believe it all started with Paloma's jealousy and then worked up to a frenzy with lies.
• Sigh.
• Not much has been going on.
• Still lots and lots of small talk.
• Sunday, as in past years, is a down day with no comps, no excitement.
• Daniel is definitely leaning towards putting Taylor up as the renom. He knows she will be very mad. However, he knows she's a superfan and can possibly beat him.
• But, then again, Daniel knows he's a better superfan than she is.
• @@
• Monte is Paloma's foot soldier in spreading the lies about Taylor.
• I hear that if you lie enough about something you may think it's the truth.
• He's going on about mean things Taylor has said about Paloma.
• Say what?
• Paloma started her anti-Taylor hate fest before Taylor even knew her name!
• Jasmine must have read Twitter last year -- she doesn't want America to think all the Black people are teaming up.
• Ameerah thinks that Paloma has a final two with Alyssa. Gee, y'think?
• Pooch cooks ... Italian dishes, that is! Terrance and Pooch made dinner with Jasmine's occasional assistance.
• Monte would like someone (other than himself) to target Daniel next week. He would like Michael to win HOH and nominate Daniel.
• They need to stop staying up all night!

Quite the chef for being a coach

Brittany and Nicole passing the time

Brittany and Kyle passing the time

Joseph is a hammock fan

Nicole is likely to be targeted by
the mean girls next

Big Brother: BB24 Nominations Show Blog Party - July 10

 

Good evening, hamster voyeurs! Tonight's episode should be a lot of filler and then the nominations. While Veto has already played out in real time, please keep comments about the show that's airing here -- no spoilers!

I will be live blogging the best I can with the major events as the show airs here on the East Coast. As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!

As per the norm, we will sit through the "previously on" segment.

The show picks up when they come inside from the HOH comp. Lots of introductions going around. Alyssa says she will play her social game in hopes of staying in the game. The Backstage Pass holders are very confused. Brittany is lying, claiming she's a toy tester. That makes me think of an old Tom Hanks movie.

Hmm. The editing is already pushing a Monte/Taylor connection. Turner claims to be an artist/rug maker. Okay. Indy says she's in training to become a sex coach. Oh my.

The Backstage Pass three women get black t-shirts which read Backstage while Pooch has a yellow t-shirt that reads Backstage Boss. The girls are upset that they have to wear them all week.

BB has an announcement for them -- Have Nots. Michael volunteers, as does Joseph ... then Monte and Kyle. The Have Not room has pool floaties for beds and they get towels as blankets.

Daniel and Nicole seem to be bonding. Daniel tells us he has decided she is going to be his final two. Nicole is already considering him her ride or die. They're calling themselves the Rogue Rats.

Paloma tells Alyssa there are snakes in the house. They decide they're a final two, ride or die. 

They have the yard with the pool table -- there's a bumper pool table in the house -- and pool. Taylor is mingling with the men at the pool table. Paloma picks up on it and, whether jealous or not, fusses in the Diary Room about it. Now Ameerah and Brittany have joined in as Paloma trash talks Taylor because she's hanging out with the boys. She thinks they should band together and get the strong boys out of the house.

America's Vote -- Which Backstage Pass holder do you want to keep safe. Vote at this link - https://www.cbs.com/shows/big_brother/vote/#

Alyssa thinks Newark is a country. She was actually thinking Denmark. I live near Newark. It's not the happiest country (or city) in the world.

Ameerah goes to talk to Daniel. She tells him that the Have Nots volunteered to be such to avoid being nominated for eviction. He hadn't thought of that but now thinks it makes sense.

Jasmine lost her father with whom she watched BB. Paloma was talking ti to her about it and now respects her so much for opening up to her. Okay. 

Michael goes to talk to Daniel in the HOH Room. He's coming across as nervous to me. Daniel, who prides himself on being a superfan, doesn't trust Michael, who tells him he's a superfan.

Terrance wants to lay low and make relationships. That said, he mentioned that he hasn't spoken game with anyone. He feels he doesn't fit in.

Paloma is pushing Taylor as a nominee to Daniel.

Time for the Nominations Ceremony. Daniel nominates Terrance, then Michael. He says it is because they haven't spoken enough or at all any game to him. He tells us that Terrance is his pawn, Michael is the target.

 

Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds into Sunday Morning - July 10

 

Ameerah is on the anti-Taylor train

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Mean Girls, Mean Boys:

• Ameerah, Turner and Indy were the three POV comp players in addition to Daniel, Terrance and Michael.
• Don't ask me who picked whom. I don't know.
• For all of those folks who were upset with the Cookout last year, not to worry -- the house is not divided by any racial causes this season.
• It's more Many Against Taylor.
• The movement started with Paloma and has spread through the house.
• Monte seems to have made it his personal mission to get Taylor out of the house.
• Why Paloma is so vehement, I don't really know.
• However, she told Monte that Taylor said she wants him and Kyle out. 
• That seems to be a lie made just to rile Monte (and Kyle) up to join her cause.
• It's a mess.
• Taylor cried. They are definitely bullying her and she feels outcast.
• No one is talking about any sort of loyalty to race.
• Meanwhile, Daniel has said more than once that he doesn't want Terrance to be voted out.
• Um. Why did he put him on the block then? That was before the Taylor stuff blew up. Why risk the one "older" guy in the house at all?
• Not everyone in the house is on the Anti-Taylor Train, just most. Joseph and Brittany seem to be staying out of it as of late.
• Of course, all the Anti-Taylor hamsters are pretty much playing a game of telephone mainly based on lies and Paloma started it all. Each time a lie is retold it's becoming bigger and bolder.
• The veto meeting and possible (probable) renom won't be until tomorrow.
• Daniel hasn't said he is going to put Taylor up but I will be shocked if he doesn't.
• This Anti-Taylor movement would make nominating her the easiest thing for him to do.

If Daniel wanted him to stay,
why put him on the block?

Terrifying!

Uh-oh, Taylor looks a bit Audrey-esque

Now his sole goal is to oust Taylor.

Big Brother: BB24 Veto Comp Bulletin - July 9

 

The veto comp was held and the live feeds just returned. We do have a winner. I didn't catch -- or they didn't show -- who played for veto other than the nominees and Daniel (HOH).

Michael won the power of veto. Daniel will have to make a renom as Michael is sure to save himself.

The outfit has to be for veto!

Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds into Saturday Morning - July 9

 

Indy, relieved she's not on the block.

Here's what's been happening inside that Big Brother House of Misfit Toys:

• As I previously posted, Daniel nominated Michael and Terrance for eviction. 
• The Backstage Girls are still oblivious as to what their role will be on eviction night as is Pooch.
• Paloma, Alyssa, Brittany have added Ameerah in their bizarre targeting of Taylor.
• I'm still not seeing any logical reasoning behind their dislike of her. As far as I can tell, Taylor has been nothing but decent to them.
• Paloma, in particular, seems to be growing more and more paranoid about people scheming.
• Now, Taylor should be the one worrying about people scheming! Instead, she thinks the girls are just not talking game. @@
• If she keeps up that gullibility, she will deserve be targeted!
• To give the Backstage Girls credit, they were at least a bit right in one of their observations. They said the four guys who volunteered to be Have Nots did it hoping to avoid nomination. Sure enough, before nominations Joseph told Daniel that the ones doing Have Nots have been through enough already.
• Michael is a bit upset with Daniel's choice to nominate him as he gave the reason the two (Michael and Terrance) didn't talk to him. He did talk to Daniel and Daniel pretty much cut him off.
• Of course, I know from the feeds that Michael was Daniel's only real target from the start of his thinking noms.
• Why, I'm not sure. But Michael seems to be rubbing a lot of them the wrong way.
• Not that there's any massaging going on, mind you!
• When He went to Daniel about it, Daniel told him he only talked once and everyone else talked twice.
• Um. Really.
• Daniel told Terrance he's not a target. Okay ...
• Alyssa is already homesick and crying about it. @@
• Brittany seems to be cozying up to Taylor, telling her she doesn't like the anti-boy vibes. Taylor does get along with the men. The Backstage Girls have it in for Taylor first, then the men.
• Monte is all but insistent that the live show is Sunday. I guess he's not the show fan he pretends to be!
• Hmm. After talking to Michael, Taylor wants to work with him and does not want him out.
• They better get out of the habit of being up all night!
• The backyard is closed and I expect the POV comp will be played today.
• Laters ...

What's with the poof of blonde in the back?

Paloma was in the DR for over an hour.

Ameerah has fallen in with Backstage Girls

Pooch is very talkative

Open your eyes, Taylor!

Big Brother: BB24 Nominations Bulletin - July 8

HOH is fun until you have to choose ...

Well, Daniel wanted to be the first HOH, right? He's been saying he wants to put up macho guys (not saying it to the macho guys, though).

So, who does he nominate? Michael and Terrance. Um.

Up for adoption, not eviction

He still irks me

Here's what's been happening inside that Big Brother House of Aligning Aardvarks:

• The game is at a stall until nominations and more comps.
• Yet alliances seem to be being made all willy-nilly around the house.
• Most will not last.
• Turner irks me for a few reasons. First off, the hair. You can tell he thinks it's cool. Second, when he got fired by Mr.Beast, one of the most popular and successful people on YouTube, he went on a campaign to trash him and get his own name attention. Then there's his sister's Twitter rant about him. That one I'm taking with a grain of salt because she seems a bit out there herself.
• Both Terrance and Indy are in fear of nomination. They think they don't fit in all that well -- he for his age, she for her accent and Brazilian background.
• Daniel is in with Nicole -- they suggested the name Rogue Rats for their alliance. He says he wants the macho guys out.
• We'll see who he nominates then.
• Kyle seems to have some sort of father idolization thing going on over Terrance. I don't think it can be called an alliance, per se.
• It seems just about all of them are fussing about clothes BB confiscated from their luggage. BB doesn't allow most logos outside of schools/universities due to advertising issues. They also don't like a lot of prints which might strobe in the cameras.
• Pooch apparently isn't one of Daniel's "macho" targets as they were working together on trying to figure out nominations. They both think they will be easy targets next week as they were safe this week.
• Turner ended up joining them and suggesting "the cat shirt guy" for a nom. That would be Michael.
• Many of them are worse with names than I am at this point!
• Like yesterday, lots and lots of small talk and non-game stuff.
• And, even though there is a lot of pondering alliances, there don't seem to be many solid ones.
• Hopefully things will spice up a bit today. 

Hasn't mentioned he was an alternate

Not sure why there's a Twitter movement
to save her.

Nicole is fitting in with everyone

I should be spying on them!

Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds into Thursday Evening - July 7

Doesn't want his noms to be "mean." Okay.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Happy Hamsters:

• Yeah, they're still happy for the most part.
• Maybe Paloma and Alyssa not so much.
• They both have a bug up their butts about Taylor for some reason.
• Now, I don't think it was too cool for Taylor to mention she won a beauty pageant. But she did mention it and now it's coming back to bite her.
• The two are referring to her as "Pageant Girl."
• Not to her face, mind you.
• They also claim she's rude and condescending.
• Yet Taylor prepared their food for them. Hmm.
• Ameerah and Brittany are also anti-Taylor.
• The two also think that the four Have Nots volunteered to be such thinking that will save them from being nominated.
• Sigh.
• They still don't know what will happen with their Backstage passes.
• Pooch is worried that, as Backstage Boss, he might have to nominate one of them.
• The thought of a third nominee has been mentioned.
• Nicole is trying to think of various slop dishes they could try. BB did give them a book of slop recipes, but she wants to experiment.
• Surprisingly, Brittany and Turner have something going on. The cameras cut to them just as they were fist-bumping and saying they have to keep it to themselves.
• What it is, I haven't a clue as the camera didn't catch it.
• But there is something there.
• Monte and Pooch have aligned.
• Several of the guys talked about forming and naming an alliance.
• Yawnsers ...
• Maybe there will be nominations tomorrow and we will get some action.

Terrance thinks he is the odd man out.

Ohmm ...Ohmm ... Ohm

Turner is doing better than I thought he would

They got the yard and pool time today.

She has really decided to target Taylor
