Big Brother Craze

It’s 9:30 BB time, and Big Brother has waken the houseguests early, and told them to be ready in 45 minuites much to their confusion. And mine too - why am I up this early again? I think I might be feeling a bit better though, so all the extra naps yesterday paid off.

General chitchat around the back couch, teasing Dan about not being a morning person, and asking how he deals with getting up for school - he says his first hours students are out of it half the time too, and at home, there’s no people coming to talk to him at odd hours.. They think maybe they were waken up because of the phone call, though don’t understand why everyone has to be up and dressed for one person.

So, to make them feel better, I’m gonna continue to sit here in my pjs as I watch. *grin* Good Morning, my BBCrazies! Let the games begin! Stay tuned here, when the gaming talk starts (and you know it will!) It’ll be her in this post, under the ever so popular cut!

…now where’s my coffee. I need to train these kids of mine better…

…thanks for holding down the fort for me while I was gone - I’m back and swaddled in my blanket and ready to cover the rest of the evening. Is anyone else unreasonably excited to see the return of beer pong to the BB house? *L* I got giddy - and they even got actual pingpong balls to play with!

Renny made popcorn and she and Ollie are munching on it as everyone takes turns and plays pong.

No game talk though everyone is waiting to see who won the phone call from home. Jerry’s in the DR and has been there a long time. If the Game talk starts and/or we find out who won the call, I’ll pop up the cut to protect those that don’t want the spoilers.

Jerry’s out of the DR, no phone call, just a long session.

We went to trivia at 12:32 pm BB time - it’s POV time! Naturally there will be spoilers and aftermath after the ever popular button and cut!

——

I have to dash to a meeting I can’t postpone, darn it all! (and I tried, oh how I tried! They wouldn’t even let me off the hook since I’m sick. And I really am sick! Harumph.) And since we’re at 3+ hours… with my luck the feeds will come back the minute I leave the house. I knew I shoulda stayed in bed today! (grin)

So, for the spoiler - check out Carolyn at BBdish. She’s gonna txt me the results, then I’ll catch up and post spoilers/aftermath here as soon as I get back. Carolyn’ll take good care of you until I return, I promise!

—Alrighty! It’s 9:39 PM BB time, I’m home, I’m still sick, but I’m fed and desparately trying to catch up. Thanks Kevin for posting the spoilers for me in the comments - as well as to Carolyn for texting me the results and making me smile in the middle of my meeting, between sneezes. *g* Watch this space, I’ll catch up soon!

9:30 AM…and the houseguests are awake. Sort of. Nothing like seeing a grown ass man curled up hiding in a pile of pink pillows, hm? Morning routines all the way around, breakfast and coffee being slurped as we speak. Complaints of being woken up so early, of loud morning songs, and Michelle’s jabbering about Rhode Island all chipper like. I kinda want to shoot her, then curl up with Memphis in the pillows. But that could be because I’m barely awake and cranky myself.

We expect POV to happen relatively early, but then again, we expected it to happen last night too. One things for certain, I’ll be here to cover the aftermath, and it’ll be EPIC. Stay tuned!

10:20: Dan, please go to the Diary Room.
10:26: trivia! Picking Veto players, most likely!

And we’re back at 10:40. When I figure out the players, they’ll be after the every-popular cut! My but they’re a quiet group this morning…

…well, it’s still morning to me, anyway! I’m up, moving and trying to catch up because naturally it’s been all game all the time this morning. Watch this space, I’ll be updating with all the ins and outs soon! Everyone is a hurting unit this morning, there’s sore bottoms, arms, legs, grunts and groans as people move about and wake up today. Memphis in particular, groaned his way to the bathroom this morning. I feel for them, I really do!

Alrighty then - game talk! You know the drill, everything is after the cut to save those that wish to remain spoiler free! Click away, my pretties!

Finally - we got a flash of the room on Feed one, so it’s coming up. By the way - for those who want to know how a fast forward week works - like the one coming up next Thursday, here’s the recap of the Fast Forward for Season 8.

For those that don’t want to know yet - either who won or what was in the room - it’s after the cut!

-:20 Setting up the post for the live show! If you can’t watch it, or wait for it, in your time zone (like me!) hit up this page here, or this one here. Both will show the Live Show for you! And be sure to follow along as I type my fingers to the bone, including the HOH competition tonight which we expect to be endurance! WHOO! Bring it on, BB, I gotta case of Diet Coke and chex mix… I’m ready!

In the meantime- check out Renny’s HOH blog and pictures!

:00 Previously on Big Brother… Here we go, kids!

:02 Hello Julie! Looking stunning in black, tonight. its day 45 inside the BB house, with Renny in power, her allies thought it would be an easy week, assuming Reny would break up the showmance. But Renny proved to be a wild card by following her own agenda, bu nominating Jerry and April. Tonight, one of them will be leaving for good. But first - for the 3rd night in a row, the vote could come down to Dan. But is his vote for sale?

Flashback to the Veto Ceremony where Dan mentions the money, but doesn’t use the Veto. Dan tells us that there are two people left with money, April and Jerry - by not saying who made the offer it’ll cause chaos. April says she never offered him a specific amount, so if he was trying to make himself feel better - people will find out. Jerry says she never offered him money, it had to be April, he’ll ride this week out. Michelle says here we go, crazy veto meeting, who offered the money? I’m gonna find out, I want that person gone.

:05 Michelle goes in and asks Renny who offered the money, Renny says ask him - and she keeps pushing, he said it to call them out. eesha says they’ll do wahtever they can, they tell her to go find out. Michelle goes to Dan, and says he called them out, he says that he didn’t want to expose them, doesn’t say anything. He leaves, Memphis comes by, and sayus she looks concerned. Memphis thinks they both did - Michelle says that April’s face meant she didn’t offer him money, she was surprised. They think it’s Jerry, or it could be mother. Michelle tells us she believes it was Jerry, she doesn’t trust him and he needs to leave the game.

:07 Outside by the pool, Keesha says tehre is no way she’s changing her vote, she can’t have APril stay, she’d be an idiot.Memphis says they all would be if they left her in the house - he can’t stand Jerry, but would rather run the risk of Jerry winning HOH then her - everyone needs to stop assuming and believe what’s in front of them.

Nighttime at the hot tub - April says this week is hell, her ass is up, she hasn’t done anything, she doesn’t deserve it, nothing except do dishes and make cakes and give people stuff, it’s so hard, she hasn’t done anything. Ollie says people see that, April says it’d be silly for Michelle and Dan not to vote her way, that there’s only one person who hates her and she’s just jealousy. She tells us that she’s gon na try and make them vote her way. ollie says she’s helped Dan, and April says America would look at him terribly if he doesn’t vote for her after all she’s done, it’s time for him to play her side.

:09 Ollie talks to Michelle, and she says no one’s said anything to her, they already have a plan. Ollie says keeping April is best for Michelle - they’d never put up MIchelle. Ollie thinks they can get Dan’s vote, and they say she’s closer to him then they are, and want him to vote their way. He’s the wild card three weeks in a row. She doesn’t want Jerry there, Michelle says she has to vote with the house though, or become a target.

:10 Dan’s outside playing ball with Ollie. Ollie tells him they think of him highly, he’s not a target. He askes him how he’d vote? Dan says he doesn’t know, and Ollie wants him to consider where April is coming from, and if he keeps him there that if he keeps APril they won’t put him up. That’s 3 of 6 players that he’s sure on, including himself. His vote is the swing vote, its his call. Dan says he doesn’t know, and if things don’t work out, don’t be mad… Ollie says well, the thing is you don’t have to worry about that if you vote to keep her here!

:12 Inside, April asks Dan to talk - they go to the Spa and close the door. April says that she has a couple things to get off her chest, she asks if Jerry offered her money, she wants him to come to her and let her know. Dan says he has nothing with Jerry, April says that money might not entice him, but she’ll give him money for his vote - if there’s anything she can do she’ll do. Dan says she’ll think about it. Dan tells us it blows his mind that he’s the swing vote, that it’s tempting, they know that they can’t win without him.

Coming up - April and Ollie can find their showmance cut short, can love last outside? Their families weigh in. Ollie Michelle Memphis talk about the nominees. Ollie says there’s thousands of reasons to keep April, they connect better then anyone in his life and it’d be important to keep her. Michelle says to keep April would go against the house, but she’d love to keep her because she’d keep her safe for a while. memphis says that he wants to evict April because she’s after him, then there’s Jerry, he’s old, he bothers him, he’s a liar, talks behind his back, did I mention he’s a liar?

:15 Commercial!

(more…)

It’s Live Eviction day, and also there’s a 99.9% chance it’ll be a very late night tonight with an endurance challenge! Not only have they been on lockdown since 4pm yesterday, but when Memphis wanted to do a ‘never ending story’ Dan replied that they couldn’t because they’d been told there was an endurance competition today and had to sleep. HURRAY!

You know what that means - aside from my needing caffeine and a store run later - April’s almost a shoo-in to get voted out. These guys aren’t stupid and they saw her performance last time. So, despite her “Good heart” and the fact she “Didn’t do anything to ANYONE in the house” they’ll give the bitch the boot!

Yes, both those quotes are direct from April. Delusional much?

There wasn’t a whole lot of game talk going on last night, what there was was simply more of the same and seems to have everyone in the house setting their sites on Michelle. Even Memphis - as she’s become quite the loose cannon and as Memphis says “Gone off the deep end. What the hell?” She got caught up in playing all sides, I think, and not very well as all sides noticed. Ollie will be out for vengeance after losing his bed buddy, and depending on what the endurance comp entails, he might stick in there for the long haul. This is a crucial HOH competition for everyone in the house, and I think that no matter who wins, Michelle will be one of the nominees. Unless she wins, I mean.

Dan, Memphis and Keesha are determined to win, though I’m not sure they realize that Keesha might bow to Renny’s wishes and put Memphis up too. It’s bound to be a battle of epic proportions and I can’t wait!

Otherwise, last night, there was just a lot of tomfoolery and fun going on with Keesha, Memphis and especially Dan and Renny. Dan imitated Renny, Renny threatened to pop him one and choke him - but finally got him to behave by threatening to “Show the world your family jewels!” by pantsing him. Funny stuff - those two crack me up together!

And for the record - no, April and Ollie did not take Renny up on her HOH bed offer. They did, however, spend time under the covers. For those keeping track and all. heh.

I’ll be in and out - napping this morning, then that all important caffeine and munchie run before the show. If anything important happens, I’ll post again - otherwise I’ll be here with bells on for the Live show. Then I’ll cover every second of the endurance comp from the show through the live feeds until the bitter end - See ya then!

CBS posted this yesterday on their Youtub channel - BB10 Behind the scenes… check it out!

Dare we say it? Are we in for another endurance HOH tomorrow? The houseguests went on lockdown just before 4pm today, and it can’t be just for Craig Ferguson tonight, because they warned them to get all their laundry out of the machines first - so this is an all nighter, ya’ll, and you know what that means.. ENDURANCE! Hurray! Who do you think will take it this time? And how glad will they be to have gotten rid of April already? Heh. Of the 7 that’ll remain 6 will play (Renny can’t as outgoing HOH), Keesha, Dan, Memphis, Michelle, Ollie and Jerry(or by slimmest chance, April), who do you figure will do the best in Endurance?

Gametalk wise - Renny and Keesha met up in the HOH room to compare notes on Ollie’s offers to help them get Michelle out next if that’s what they want. Renny put her needle back in the “No one loves you but me” groove for a while and I completely zoned out. Sorry. It was more of the same. No one would take you but me, Memphis is an asshole, Something’s weird with Dan, how dare they put Michelle over me… Keesha nodded in all the appropriate places.

Downstairs there was quite the Jerry bashing session, led by Michelle - as always. She’s been bashing him all damn day, without pause. It’s getting exhausting to listen too. Ollie joined in whole-heartedly, but just a few minutes ago was whispering game with Jerry. He said “The four” (Keesha, Renny, Memphis, Dan) are counting him out for comps and trying to make him go crazy. They figure Michelle’s the extra vote, but he and Jerry, they can flip the whole thing. All they have to do is win HOH.

Ollie may step up to play the game after all…

April has spent less time bawling her eyes out today, and more time being silent. She’s ‘accepted’ her lot, according to Ollie, and is fine with going home, though sad. She told Renny earlier she won because she has Ollie. Renny countered she knew Ollie had feelings for her when she caught Ollie putting the cereal in alphabetical order for her.

That’s about all happening now - they expect to be called for Craig Ferguson within 30 minutes or so, and there’s certain to be some sort of fall out from that. Stay tuned!

- Still no Craig Ferguson. Carolyn, over at BB Dish says that tonight’s CF is a repeat - thus the houseguests got all dressed up for nothing, apparently. Although I hesitate to call April’s bikini top, sweat shirt, cut off shorts and hooker heels ‘dressed up’. Anyway - all’s quiet, random talk. April/Ollie flirting/trashing other houseguests/etc. Same ole same ole. Renny offered them her room for the night for some ‘alone time’ if they wanted it. They’ve not taken her up on that yet, but might later.

Dan and Memphis are playing marbles again, while Renny is frying up some dinner on the stove. All in all - another day in the BB house!

It’s HOH picture time in the house, and everyone is making nice for Renny’s photographs. Although April and ollie refused to kiss - like no one knows what they’ve been up too.

As Jerry says - they like to “play scenarios” in his room. Wink wink. nudge nudge. Here’s some of the photos:

Tons more in the Gallery!

There’s been very little gameplay talk - other then Ollie approaching Keesha about working together to get Michelle out sooner rather then later, as she’s working both sides. It was a brief convo, broken up by Michelle’s spidey senses as she joined them outside.

Other then that, it’s quiet. So I’m going to enjoy the quiet of my house without kids. BACK TO SCHOOL. The three best words in the English Language! Ha!
