Big Brother Craze

It’s 10 am at the BB house - and they just woke the houseguests, after last nights late night POV. That’s some cruel and unusual punishment, people! They’d expected not to get a wake up call, because the last midnight POV they got to sleep in until they woke. Not so today.

Morning routines and general all around, (Cept for Dan, who we’ve yet to see this morning) and BB just called for an inside lockdown to boot. The houseguests are suspicious. The BBCrecapper is tired. Stay tuned for whatever comes next. blinkityblink.

Lockdown over - nothing new. Several houseguests have gone to lay down again, the girls are doing hair, etc. Renny’s changed the water in her flower vase, and there’s nothing other then general chit chat so far. Thank goodness. My fingers are still asleep. Heh.

THERE we go! 12:39 am and we get Trivia and I’m here for the long haul. Hopefully not TOO long a haul, though, right? You know the drill, all the aftermath, and the winner, after the pretty, pretty button!

(more…)

Yup, the POV Competition will be tonight. They picked players just a little while ago - check after the cut to see who and the reactions.

You know the drill! After the pretty, pretty button!

…whew. After a talk between Ollie and April, Ollie heads back up to talk to Renny.

After the cut, ya’ll!

CBS posted this today. HAHAAHAH!

Looooooooove it!

And the results are in…. ya’ll voted for…

Aw come on, you KNOW I’m gonna have to put it after the cut!

It’s Friday morning, and for some reason I’m up 2 hours earlier then normal. What’s with THAT? To start our morning off right, I’m going to be a little bit rebellious, and post a youtube video of something that went on in the house last night. I know, you’re shocked at my audacity, right? Thing is - I posted that I thought I’d see this on an update site in the post below while catching up after putting in my new w/d. Then someone removed it there, so I figured ah, someone was messing with us, so I deleted it from my post.

And then… Confirmation.

April’s late. Time to start BB Babywatch? Maybe that IS what the 14th frame is for… I’d die if BB decided to put an ultrasound picture up there randomly, srsly!

The houseguests are waiting for the Food Competition to begin, and I’ll post spoilers for that as soon as it’s over, especially when we discover what random food we decided to give them an unlimited supply of for the week - what did YOU vote for? If it were me, I’d be perfectly content with bologna, so I split between coconut and lollipops, because I hate the first, and am not fond of the second.

While we’re waiting, here’s Libra’s interview with Julie this morning - the extended version that’s just over 10 minutes. enjoy!

Watch CBS Videos Online

She’ll also be on Housecalls this morning at noon BB time, talking to Gretchen and Dick. Hopefully this one goes MUCH BETTER then last week with Jessie. I never felt more sorry for Gretchen then I did that day… It still boggles the mind that Jessie thinks Memphis’ family and friends were the ones that voted him out. No, Jessie, WE ALL wanted you out! For the record, and all. Heh.

ETA: April started her period Friday afternoon. Thus ends BB Babywatch. Bummer.

It’s officially Renny Week! Renny’s teary just walking up to the room, with tissues in hand already. They’re teasing her - don’t cry until the letter at least!

After the cut, ya’ll!

(more…)

Renny is a LOT more calm then the internets are - we’re bouncing around like crazy here! Michelle and Memphis are going over the questions in the spa, laughing a bit. Renny and Keesha are sitting at the counter, April’s wandering around the kitchen, Jerry is at the table, as was Ollie earlier. Dan had been at the counter but has disappeared - he’s wandering.

The house is quiet, and Renny is thrilled that she wasn’t ‘given’ an HOH like ‘that sheila’ was. *L* Nice, Renny! The house is quiet and calm, and I think that the fact that they are NOT gloating? is a very welcome change from last week.

Keesha: But it’s not about me, Renny, it’s about you. You won HOH.
Renny: I think the key to this thing, is who going to win those HOHs, that’s who I’m going after. I don’t give a crap what they say, I’m (thinkin).
Keesha: You gotta do waht’s right for you now and later. This is your chance to do it. You’ll be fine.

Though some are not quite as excited as we are. April and Ollie are hiding…

Dan is planning on moving out of the Doom Room, because it’s awkward. Memphis is considering moving into the hippy room so that he gets a good nights sleep, too. Happy talk in the Spa - Keesha, Memphis, Dan. “The competition couldn’t have gone any better, at all.” Keesha’s all smiles and huge sighs of relief. Michelle joins, more chatter. But no gloating, whatsoever. And they’ve noted the contrast.

Direct contrast in the Doom Room.

They compliment Dan on being quick on his feet - they loved the “Mr. Judas” line and detention. (And also - remember? Michelle said “If Dan doesn’t get a question, he’s America’s Player.” And tada - Dan got the first July Question! Hahah!) Dan appreciated Memphis’ comments about the whole issue as well.

Michelle was sure when they went out and saw the evicted names there - thought “Here comes the twist!” Now they’re talking about the comments, how they don’t think Steven said the ‘tool’ comment (he did) and which questions that Michelle knew right away.

April’s whisperfest to Ollie includes accusing Michelle of making a deal with ‘them’ “Michelle doesn’t have to fake it, like we don’t know she made a deal with all of them. Please.” Ollie was all who does she think she’s fooling. Um - correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t Michelle completely open about the fact she wanted Libra out, but to do what they wanted? Ha!

April thinks that Renny would be smart to put up Jerry and Dan, since Jerry put up Renny/Jessie for fighting. (No, April, that’d be safe for YOU, not smart for RENNY…) Ollie says if he wins the POV, he’d save her. Jerry is playing it off like Libra approached them for votes - not that they approached her. Selective memory, ol’man. Followed by how he kept his word to both Michelle and Keesha. I smell a Dan rant in the making by the end of the night, as soon as he can corner Renny.

–My new (to me) washer/dryer is here - i’m AFK for a bit for install, don’t think I’ll miss too much, it’s calm so far. *g*

I come back just in time to see Renny and Keesha talking about houseguests, noms. Renny is questioning Memphis’ story, if he has any deal with Keesha. She assures Renny that she has no deal, and asked if she’s not thinking of April. They continue to talk, and Keesha says she’d never tell her who to put up, Memphis, Michelle and April are the three strongest players. Renny seems to be wanting to put Memphis up, she keeps bringing up his name.

They’re thinking ahead, trying to see what’s going to work best for them.

Renny: Have to go with your gut, you know? The Colonel, he put me up..
Keesha: He’s freaking out right now.
Renny: I might have to use him…
Keesha: Now that you’re HOH, you can make deals, keep yourself safe next week.

After Memphis comes in to get the sheets off Libra’s bed to wash - he’s going to try out the bed and see if he can sleep a full night - Renny and Keesha go into super whisper mode… Can’t hear a word.

They’re sure that no one would take Keesha to the end, except Renny, because she’s liked by everyone and folks can’t win against that. She knows the only way she can get there is to fight tooth and nail. They’re talking end games against Jerry now, and who’d vote for Jerry over Keesha.

Renny seems pretty worked up over Memphis, that he’d sell them down the river. She’s leaning hard towards putting him up.

Renny: Memphis showed what he could do in that POV.
Keesha: Yeah, I saw that.
Renny: I tell you what, no one better feel safe today.

8:47 BB Renny, please go to the Diary Room. New post at HOH reveal time!

-:45 It’s here it’s here it’s here - hopefully Libra’s ouster is HERE! I’ll be here blogging my lil fingers off to capture all the action as it happens, thanks to the lovely folks playing it for us from the East coast. 45 Minutes and counting!

In fact - if you want to watch it online as you read along, check it out here at BBC!

:00 Previously on Big Brother… hang on to your hats guys - here we go!

:02 Hello Julie! Looking fabulous as always. It’s day 38 inside the Big Brother house, and Jessie’s surprise eviction has led to violitility and emotional outbursts. All eyes are on Dan, Libra and Keesha - Michelle saught revenge by pitting friend against friend. Keesha or Libra will be leaving.

But first, the house unexpectedly flipped, giving Memphis a new lease on life. This week, Libra is hoping for a miracle, will lightening strike twice?

Flashback to the end of the POV Ceremony. Libra says apparently Jerry didn’t get the manual for BB - it’s not a game for honor, trust and loyalty, it’s the BB House. Renny says when the Colonel makes these statements and attacked Dan, it made him look worse. Dan approached everyone and said to clarify that someone thought he was sold out, he wasn’t, libra adds that it’s a game.

Upstairs in the HOH room, Memphis is what is a matter with him? He was gunning for Dan. Memphis tells us that the fact Jerry calls him Judas, it’s one more thing that he’s slipped out of his fat mouth he’ll regret saying, thank god it wasn’t me, I’d have flipped out on him.

Downstairs in the Spa, Libra apologizes to Dan that he was called a Judas, and it was redickulous and crazy and Dan says to us, he doesn’t know if things can get…. ANY BETTER FOR ME! Jerry’s action creation so much sympathy for him it couldn’t be better.

Keesha says if she gets evicted, she doesn’t hate anyone, it’s the game. Libra says she’ll bet her last dollar that Keesha won’t get evicted. She tells us she’s dead woman walking.

Outside, April and Ollie are talking and she tells us that keesha is a liar and a manipulator. She tells Ollie that she was just as at fault and it makes her sick to look at the bitch. Ollie eggs her on, saying Keesha has it out for her. April says “She works at hooters, she’s 30, never went to college, we have to get her out.” (Yeah, those were my eyes rolling. Sorry. Heh.)

Memphis and Dan talks to Keesha outside, and they say they have her back. Memphis says he’d jump in front of a bullet, and she goes. He says it should be interesting, and he and Dan agree to stick together, and Dan laughs and says he was thinking of names. Wild mustangs - Memphis says Renegades! Dan says he’s in. Dan says he likes Keesha but can’t tell her. Memphis says it’s need to know basis and no one needs to know.

Inside, Ollie and April are playing scenarios - Aril says Libra wants to stay in, and Ollie wants to make a deal. April tells us Ollie, Jerry and her will vote together. And they need to get the fourth vote, and it’s all Dan, again. Ollie says he’s playing both sides, and it’s time to talk game to Dan, tell him Libra loves him. Dan you’re the outcast. April says Dan has turned against the alliance once already, why wouldn’t he do it again. Ollie wants to blindside them.

:10 Ollie and Libra talk in the store room and he asks her if she wants to be there. Libra wants to know what he’s saying. They say Keesha is too complacent, and they want to flip the house. Ollie asks how close she is to Dan, she needs to get his vote. Ollie tells us that if they ahve the votes to keep Libra, they’d do it. Libra tells us that the survival depends on a fourth vote - she’s a heart attack patient, code blue, Dan’s vote would be the defibrilator. She approaches him at the kitchen sink and says she wants to talk to her. April takes over Dishes and they head off.

They go to the storeroom. LIbra says she hasn’t asked him for anything and asks where his head is. Dan says he’s always open to communication. Libra says she might have a 9th life. He wants more info. She says it could spilt, she needs a 4th. Michelle would evict her. Dan tells us that if he sent Keesha, she’d be pissed off. If he kept Libra, it’d leave a target in the game that doesn’t come after him. He tells Libra he’ll think about it.

Coming up, she’s been critisized for leaving her children behind, her family answers her critics. Lets listen in as Jerry, Ollie and April talk about the nominees. Jerry says that he wants to evict Keesha, because she’s complacent. Ollie wants to tell her she barked up the wrong tree. April says that it’s because she’s a liar, a backstabber and her voice and laugh annoy the crap out of her, she sounds like a hyena and she feels bad for America because we have to listen to it too.

:14 Commercial!

Good morning, BBCrazies! Happy Live Show Day! The houseguests have just been woken up, and as usual Michelle is positive she knows what the HOH competition is going to be due to the songs that are played. They’re on lockdown - which didn’t start until this morning, so it will be a mental competition, that much she has correct. The rest? We’ll have to see.

She’s all about Jedi Training her ’side’ this morning - Ollie, April, and Jerry. I say ’side’ lightly, though as even now we’re still unsure completely where Michelle stands. Anyway, the songs had to do with family, secrets, and things, so they’re certain it will involve facts about the other houseguests. As such there’s a marathon to learn as much as possible in a short period of time - how many pets, kids, grandkids, great grandkids, where they’re from, siblings, schooling, etc.

They’re already on the Dan Bashing train, and you know what? I hope he wins HOH. Don’t throw it today, Dan! Step up and see how fast they turn around and kiss your ass! If it IS about family/etc? He’s got it wrapped. He’s the one who takes the time to talk personal stuff with all of them.

While they Jedi Train - here’s a clip of the houseguests on Craig Ferguson last night!

In other news, Jerry’s losing it.
BB: Dan, please go to the Diary room
Dan goes. Dan comes out a few minutes later. Jerry leans over to Michelle..
Jerry: See, he just walked in there without being called!

*headdesk*

There seems to be a new poll up at the official BB site - half the house next week will be on slop, but we’ve the power to give them an unlimited supply of one other item too - giant lollipops, coconuts, or bologna. Head over and vote!

Also up - Michelle’s HOH blog.

Here we go - Libra pulled Dan into the storage room and asked him for his vote. She said she had 3 possible, and needed a fourth. He wanted names before committing, and she balked and wouldn’t give him any - like he wouldn’t know anyway. He wanted more info, and the names, before he’d make a decision. Heh. She tells him not to say anything, he says ok, and when she won’t give up the names says he can figure it out.

Dan leaves, Ollie comes in and Libra tells him that he wanted names, she wouldn’t say, and Ollie says that’d be a no and now he’s worried about trusting Dan. Ollie says he’ll talk to Dan next.

Meanwhile, Michelle goes in to talk to Jerry, who goes on his anti-dan rant. He’s in bed, says he didn’t want to be in the ‘middle of that sh*t out there’ and clarifies he means hanging with the people that voted Jessie out. (…sigh.) He tells Michelle that Keesha told him Memphis’ target is April, and he doesn’t think that Michelle would go up, that it will be Jerry and April next.

He then goes into the fact that Libra isn’t running that group, Keesha is and is all loud and happy now. Michelle says no, she’s moping around. (really, the girl starts laughing late at night and so she’s all ok and overconfident? come on Jerry!) He says the HOH is the biggest one for him and Michelle, and Dan is the biggest snake in the house.

Michelle wants to make sure he’s voting Libra out, and he hints around a Keesha eviction. She says no, and reminds him that Libra is a mental player, and this HOH is probably mental - also that Keesha isn’t good at physical stuff, she wouldn’t even stay in the worms. Jerry says if he was HOH, he’d put up Keesha and Memphis, then Dan as the back door. He again says that he hasn’t broken his word, and he took that POV for Michelle, and didn’t use it because he promised her. e could have taken Libra off and gotten her on his side, but he promised Keesha he wouldn’t too.

Libra tells April real fast about the Dan convo, and promises to take the fall for talking to him. Then Michelle/April/Ollie talk about Dan/Libra being America’s Player partners, and how if the vote comes back 5-1, they know Dan is AP, even though they can’t understand America wanting Libra to stay. (April’s doing a good job of setting Dan up for a hinky vote fall, for sure.)

April and Ollie tell Michelle that Dan hasn’t spoken to them, and he might try to change people’s votes. They figure if Julie doesn’t ask Dan any questions, again, that it’s official, he’s AP.

BB, they name is Paranoia.

Then, April: Why would (dan) vote against Jessie if he was voting for America? It doesn’t make sense!

They are still running on the assumption that we love Jessie, and would rather have him in the house instead of Memphis. Guess what? Not so much with the Jessie love!

Oh the irony. Jerry didn’t like it when Dick yelled at Jameka (BB8) about her religion, it ‘really stuck in (his) craw’. Not to mention this hole behind the scene’s dashing around for votes to save Libra, INCLUDING asking DAN to be the SWING VOTE, is so very different then LAST week’s stunt that has them still cussing and muttering and attacking about betrayal. Oy. me head hurts!

Jerry, April and Ollie are pushing Michelle in a Keesha eviction way - I don’t think she’s buying it, but all this week I’ve wondered who she’s really with. I know she wants LIbra out - that’s it.

— I have to head out, for a couple hours, but I’ll update with a post covering all of this when I get home!

—And I’m back, and surprisingly, the house didn’t blow up while I was gone. The most important thing that happened was a conversation between Michelle and Dan. She asked if he had any obligation to vote a certain way, he said no and that he was voting Libra out. He was honest with her and gave her the whole conversation between Libra and himself in the store room, and they agreed he should try to find out the names, though they pretty much know already.

Michelle is not. happy. jan.

But she’s putting on a happy face as they hang around - she’s told Keesha this, and that Dan promised and that she’s going to be ok. If it splits, Michelle will vote out Libra.

…at which time I’ll be smirking because that puts the ‘other side’ of the house in the same shoes they had those that voted Jessie out in, only without the result they wanted. *snerk*

…it was too early for the Craig Fergeson taping, I think, but we had fish/bubbles for a significant time there. We come back to Dan playing the alphabet song about things going on in the house. “A - alliances..” so on and so forth. Just talking to himself as usual.

Memphis joins, and Dan tells him that Brian, before he left, told him to hook up with Memphis in the game. There’s been bubbles off and on, and without any idea what the previous set were for, we’ll have to simply assume that THIS current set at 4:30pm BB Time is for the Craig Ferguson Show.

Before that, though - there was an interesting conversation between Ollie and Dan, where Dan FINALLY says what we’ve all been thinking. After asking if Dan had promised his vote to anyone (He said no - he’ll tell Keesha and others about this convo later, I’d wager) they moved on to talk about Jerry, and naturally, his POV Speech.

They agree that Jerry killed himself in the game with the speech, and he said that he didn’t care if he went home afterwards. Also, he figured no one was upset because no one’s told him so. Michelle urged everyone not to give him any attention about it, thus encouraging more of the same.

Then, more Jerry conversation.. and FINALLY someone in the house says it out loud:

Dan: Would he be mad if he saw you talking to me right now?
Ollie: I don’t know..I don’t care either..
Dan: My taking off the cross was no different then Jerry taking off th military wear first week, with Brian.

It’s about time someone actually said what we’ve all been thinking!

Currently on Bubbles - probalby the CF show. Stay tuned!

Smiles when the feeds come back - so looks like Ollie and April still remain un-outed, and there was nothing that upset the houseguests that was asked or said. But I’ll keep ya posted - in the meantime… from Renny’s pile o’fun…

Meanwhile, Lbra keeps packing. How much crap did that girl BRING?

I’ll be back if/when the house blows up- with important conversation, or massive fights, either way.

It’s HOH picture time! And this time Skippy isn’t being a stingy bastard about it. Libra, on the other hand… She refused to take a picture because she was too busy packing, and her hair didn’t look good. Though she put a hat on to go to the Diary Room, where she’d be *gasp* on camera. That’s ok, Michelle. I gotcha covered:

Yup. Michelle was annoyed, as were everyone else.

They still had fun though - check it! Here’s some of the screen caps, and there’s always more to be had in our gallery.

That last one? That’s Keesha posing with Dan’s underwear that she froze last night. Dan hadn’t noticed yet - until he was looking through the pictures on the camera. HAHAHA! Now there’s a lot of goodnatured “Oh it’s on… I thought we had a truce” going on between Dan and Keesha. Hope she hid Ely!
