Big Brother Craze

If you’ve got your feeds all squared away, cue them up! Then hit the “live shows” button on Superpass Big Brother Tab, and you can watch three lovely ladies discuss Big Brother for the next 45 minutes!

And for those that love spoilers - this one is 100% credited to Carolyn at BBDish and her ‘inside source’ and it’s a DOOSIE.

Click that link ONLY if you want to know. If it is on the up and up, there’s some YAY and some confirmation of my worst nightmare too. Heh. We’ll find out tomorrow night, if not before…

But hey - hit up the feeds to watch the rest of Big Brother Hour! Steven (BB10) is on the phone right now!

(da da daaaaa da, da da DA DA DA…. dada Daaaaaaaaaa da… da da DA da da da DAAAAA dadaDAAA….)

/geek. Sorta.

Good morning my BBCrazies! Can you believe the wait is ALMOST OVER? Today’s entry is a mishmash of tidbits and todo lists before Big Brother officially takes over our lives for the next 3 months!

I slept in this morning, enjoying the fact that I COULD sleep in this morning, and bemoaning the fact that tomorrow will be the last day that I will likely get to do so! Time to put my favorites on speed dial, stock up on Diet crack Coke, get some munchies, and do the final study of faces/names so that when the feeds come on after the West Coast Premiere tomorrow night, I’ll have a good handle on who’s who. Maybe - those first couple nights are filled with “wait, WHO is that again?!” but I get it… eventually!

Now I mentioned the new Twitter accounts that were supposedly from Allison Grodner, an insider Scoop and the BB HOH - guess what? They’re REAL. (Well, can’t vouch for Allison, but the others…). I woke up to several tweets, AND a CBS Press Release that confirms that @BigBrotherScoop and @BigBrotherHOH are indeed the real deal - and @agrodner22 looks pretty legit as well!

* For the first time, CBS has launched a Twitter® experience to keep BIG BROTHER fans and viewers “in the know” with daily updates from a production insider. “BigBrotherScoop” (www.Twitter.com/BigBrotherScoop) will provide exclusive updates as things happen in real time.

* On Friday, July 10, a second Twitter page will serve as a perk for each week’s Head Of Household. “BigBrotherHoH” (www.Twitter.com/BigBrotherHoH) will give that week’s Head Of Household the opportunity to tweet daily messages directly to viewers and fans. To obtain instant updates for all your favorite CBS Stars, go to www.CBS.com/Twitter.

Which means that THESE tweets from earlier? Are legit!

@BigBrotherScoop A MAJOR tantrum at the BB house last night!!

And then we have Allison with:

@agrodner22 We can already crown the sorest loser on BB…and it is only day 3!

Sounds like the “Big Surprise” they tweeted yesterday wasn’t received well by someone, hm? Was it the Nominations? Have vs. Have not/Food? POV? OMG I can’t wait till the feeds go live - this is TORTURE! *L*

Tonight on Craig Furguson, there will be an “exclusive announcement” from Julie, too! Then, don’t forget Julie will be on Inside Dish with Ross on Friday (filmed yesterday - and Matt from BigBrotherNetwork got to call in with his question for Julie! Color us jealous!) OH! And the RealPlayer Chat, Lunch Express, with Chelsia and Missy - tomorrow at NOON PST for a special pre-premiere show! Then they’ll be on at the same time every Thursday and Friday through the season. They’re only available on the feeds though!

Time’s running out to get the $10/mth feeds and get all set up for tomorrow’s big day! The new features went live yesterday (Not the feeds themselves - those are still playing Nasa/CSpan! - seen at the top of the entry), including the Flashback (seen above), and I happily watched some of my favorite BB10 Feed moments using it! It’s AWESOME, and you really don’t wanna miss out! Real Superpass put a lot of thought into the new features, and the work has totally paid off!

Also - don’t forget the BBCrazy and RealityDazey Pool Party Games over at our Forums! There’s two versions - be sure to check them BOTH out, and get your picks in for the first week! Welcome to all the newbies that have signed in, and you shyer folks, come on over, we totally won’t bite (unless you ask nicely, of course. )

THIS JUST IN from @BigBrotherScoop: Ronnie claims that after 3 days in, he’s already lost 4 lbs!

Could he be on Slop? Or just nerves/excitement? See, twitter is FUN! Be sure to follow us at @BigBrotherCraze too!

Ok - rereading through that, you can’t tell I’m excited at ALL, can you? Let’s get this party STARTED! I think I’ll go kiss my kids and remind them what Mommy Looks Like one last time before all they see is the Back of Mom’s Head with Headphones.

Have a great day, ya’ll!

Shhh. It’s still morning here, where I am.

Of course, I’ve already been up for several hours, just getting used to putting my head back on BB Time - which included powernapping through the day yesterday whenever I felt the need. I’ve perfected the powernap, you see. 15-30 minutes of quick napping and I’m good for hours more. It’s helpful during Endurance nights!

So, it’s TUESDAY. And you know what THAT means…

…nothing, yet. Ha! After yesterday’s onslaught of BB Tidbits and Juicy Spoilers, its not surprising that today has been a little bit slower, as we still chew on everything we found out yesterday. Here’s some things to keep you busy though!

BBC Goodies!
Along my sidebar bout halfway down, you’ll find some cool little things. (Please note that I don’t control the placement of these cool things, 451Press does - I’m just the worker bee behind BBC! Thus, I’m bringing them to your attention, now!) They are:

- Vote For us! We’re now listed on the Big Brother Top 50. We’re currently sitting at 19 - give us a click to help is move higher if you’re of a mind to do so!

- The POOL PARTY! Have you joined yet? We have two -count ‘em, TWO! - games available for play. There’s the Random.org Hates Me pool party, where full groups of 13 people will be assigned a houseguest by random.org. If your houseguest wins the season, then everyone ELSE in the pool commits to sending you a $10-20 gift certificate from Amazon or something else cool like that. For 13 houseguests, that’s a potential of at LEAST $100 in GCs! Can’t beat that! - we’re currently filling up group two, so hurry over!

Pool Party: Version two is a You Pick’em Weekly game - each week, you pick the three houseguests you think will net you the most points in the assigned categories. At the end of the season, the player with the most points will receive a $50 Gift Certificate from Amazon from yours truly. So get on over there to the forums and sign up today!

- Want BigBrotherCraze on your mobile phone? We can do that for you too! The addys are http://bbcraze.mofuse.mobi/ or http://bbcraze.mofuse.mobi/iphone! If your in the continental US, you can put your number into the box over here and it’ll send you a bookmark, to make sure it works and all. Enjoy!

- Looking for the houseguests - past and present - myspace and facebook links? The ones I know are right here! If I’ve missed any, drop me a comment or use the contact me button over there, and help us fill in the blanks!

- LIVE FEED SCREENCAPS! Arguably one of the BEST parts of any Big Brother Season! I take a TON of them - so much so that I set up an album on my own server to handle the load (over 11k last season!) Heh. (Sometimes while uploading - especially during Endurance comps - it may overload the CPU, but it always comes back after a bit, so if you hit it and it’s not there, give it a bit and try again.)

These will be uploaded and organized by day (Feed day, House Day, AND Date), so that you can easily find what you’re looking for. You have access to all my screencaps of BB10 as well!

Speaking of ScreenCaps - the Feeds are LIVE…. with Nasa and CSpan. *L* If you haven’t gotten yours yet, now is the time! The $10/mth deal ends tomorrow! So get on that, and get your feed on with us this season!

And last, but most certainly not least - Don’t forget you can Follow Big Brother Craze on Twitter, and always know when I’ve posted a new post! And if you like, I have myspace and facebook too - though keep in mind they are also my personal accounts, so if you don’t want random pictures of my kids… and I routinely forget to check them for days on end - but hey, if ya wanna, they’re there!

Whew! Is it Thursday yet?!

PS: Last season we topped 150k pageviews/hits for the month of August here at BigBrotherCraze.com - my highest every and I want to do better than that this year! So tell all your friends to stop by - we got the good stuff!

So, while we’re waiting for more interview videos to be posted (Ross will have the Women of Big Brother today, and we’re still waiting on Mark from Reality Wanted, and BB Alumni Diane from CBS2 - and don’t forget Bunky and Keesha at WLBB, their first call in show is tonight!) I know you all are DYING to know what I think of the cast, right? Because I’m never wrong in my snap superficial judgments… (/sarcasm! Hee!) Dying to know or not - here we go:

Braden:
Srsly? Is this guy for real? He can’t act, he’s already got nudie pics being shared around, he’s dumber than a stump, so much so that he makes up his own words and doesn’t know the meaning of simple ones like “pet peeve” - this does not mean your “favorite” pizza, man, it’s something you hate about others. I’m blond and I know this! Nothing is more telling than his bio which says he’s “boastful of his self-perceived intelligence.” Nothings worse then an idiot thinking he’s smart. I’m fully prepared to hate this guy.

Kevin:
The season’s token gay! And he’s “Ghetto Fabulous”! It could go either way with this one. I liked Dustin at first too, until he went all douchebag on us in season 8. And Josh, well, he kinda gave the bitchy fags a bad name. Could Kevin redeem the bitchy tag and make it watchable and fun without delving into cruel and idiocy? Time will tell! I like getting my bitch on as much as the next person, so hopefully he’ll live up to the hype. I could go either way with Kevin, but on the small things I’ve seen so far, he makes me laugh, and that’s a good thing.

Laura:
Oy. Another Bikini model, this one with a Tramp Stamp. My first thought is that she’s BB8 Jen v2, but the saving grace is that Laura is at least a Big Brother Fan. She wants to use her body as a secret weapon, but how secret is it if it’s mostly undressed in a bikini? Just sayin’. I’m fully prepared to dislike her intensely, while oogling her massive cleavage.

(more…)

After dinner made on the new grill, the over full houseguests played memory, where Dan won, and they discovered another card was missing. Where’s Michelle and her conspiracy theories when we need her?

But that wasn’t the best part of the evening! They’ve been watching a spider spin it’s web, and Dan and Memphis decided to feed moth’s to the spider - much to Keesha’s dismay. The excitement came when they got the moth to stick, and the spider pounced immediately and wrapped him up.

I know, right? Can’t hardly take that kind of excitement!

They got a bottle of wine, but the boys are still outside, so Renny and Keesha snag it, open it in the store room so they can stash it in the freezer, and hide it from the boys and Jerry - who have tried a bee, but it was too heavy, so are chasing another moth around the yard.

OH! And one of you asked where they found the question game - here ya go: Table Topics.

Pictures after the cut for the aracnopobes!

(more…)

Things are quiet in the BB house, with keesha and Renny in the hippie room, and Memphis/Dan having a Bible buddies session in the living room. Not sure where Jerry is - probably re-cooperating from his fall in the pool in the HOH.

So what’s a recapper to do, in hopes of making the August goal? How about a round of “Caption this!”? Here’s a couple interesting screen caps - have at it in the comment section!

(more…)

Good morning all - I’m still trying to catch up from this morning (and still trying to wake up too. heh.) but I got here just in time to hear the grand plan - so! It’s after the cut…

(more…)

Tonight it’s Dan and Memphis’ turn to cook. The main course? Meatloaf. Instructions verbally gotten from Renny, the boys go to work. And I start giggling… how cute are these two? Seriously?

Memphis gets nominated to cut up the onion. He cries.
Dan: America? You think he’s the toughest guy in the house? Take a look.
Memphis: Ashley.. (sniffsniff) I just wanna say.. (sniffle, gigglesnortlaugh)
Memphis: (Sniffle) This house! It drives you crazy, man! (sniff, giggle)

Memphis: (sniff) Jesus!
Dan: Loves us!
Memphis:…yes. Loves us. (sniffs) MOSES!
Dan: better.

Dan: ….my mom’s meatloaf never looked like that…

The recipe: Ground Turkey, eggs, breadcrumbs, onions, salt and pepper, with Ketchup on top.

Dan: There it is. It even looks like a meatloaf!

Pleased, they put their creation in the oven, and go to work on potatoes.

Dan: If’ your a St. Mary’s football player you have better things to do then watch me make potatoes! Get off your feet, relax, get ready to kick some butt tomorrow!

Memphis has an idea for an HOH talk show tonight - Dan, of course, is totally down with this idea.

Et Voila! The boys’ 4 lb meatloaf is finally done - as well as Dan’s potatoes and Renny’s salad. Jerry looks surprised tha they did so well. The boys, the boys are proud of their meat.

Memphis: gonna make this meatloaf my bitch!
Dan: let’s do this like Judas!

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

It’s been a very… well, not quiet, but game free evening. Aside from talks about Jerry, and very few talks TO Jerry as the houseguests decide not to give him encouragement by talking to him about it, there’s been a lot of fun had.

Most noteably, it’s all about making Dan blush and educating Keesha in the hippie room, as they talk Keesha, Libra, Memphis, Dan) about Sex, baby. Well, THEY talk, Dan blushes and says at the most “oh. my. goooooooooooooooood.” NAturally the other part of the house - Ollie, April, Michelle are a little offended and find that topic of conversation disgusting when Michelle tells them she walked in on said talk. (Though, just an hour later, Ollie is asking everyone if they’d have sex with a farm animal for $15million - yet human sexuality is disgusting? Heh.) Jerry says “Ask me anything, I know ALL ABOUT it all.” Dirty old man. *L*

Words of wisdom from Memphis on the topic of teenage masturbation. “Mothers? All you mothers out there? LEARN TO KNOCK. Less you see what you don’t wanna see!”

There were many instances of Dan hiding behind his pillow as Keesha learns that girls look different from each other, among other things. I think embarrassing Father Dan is a favorite passtime. That and giving him hell about talking to the mirrors and spelling out ‘Hi’ in bread to talk to the birds… ha!

Anyway- since there’s little game talk going on, here’s a hella lotta screen caps just for fun, as the houseguests prepare to chowdown as soon as it turns midnight - to get started early on their last day of food for the week.

Renny was singing, and they waited until she was done then:
BB: Please stop singing!
Dan: How about screaming AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH right into the mic?!
BB: Please, stop that!

Oh, how they make me laugh.

…well, we got a brief blip of the houseguests locked up in the HOH room, before we came back for good. I knew there’d be some fireworks of some sort - April is all kinds of grumping! Libra says something about it being funny, and April was all “It is not, it is repulsive! Just gross! Completely inappropriate! Just plain rude!”

Have no clue what she was talking about, but no one else seems as grossed out as she is. Michelle said something about “Did you check the beds? No one better be doing anything in my bed!”

They’re talking about the earthquake - people laughed at them when some houseguests admitted to thinking it was fake, but they still have differing opinions on the subject.

Now they’re encouraging Renny to go do a dance for Jerry like she promised she would last night - in her red nighty. She’s not sure if she’s going to do it now - she says the day isn’t over yet. Everyone is amused by this - including Renny.

Libra: If your hubby won’t think it’s fun, don’t do it.
Renny: My husband? I don’t care what he things! If I wanna do it, I’ll do it!
Michelle: Love that attitude!

Dan, on the other hand, looks pensive.

Michelle is happy - she gets out of the Unitard tomorrow after the show at midnight, and Jerry is just as happy because his slop diet ends at the same time. He’s handled being on slop this week like a champ, though we all know tomorrow after the live show will NOT be a happy Big Brother House. You all know what they say about a house divided, right? MUHAHAHAHHA!

Alrighty, here we go! You all know about the giveaway, and were totally patient when we broke the internet, and have returned to see WHO WON THE GOODIES, LESSA?!? right? Right. So because I love to cater to my winners, here are the contest results! We had 124 comments, and a whole buncha fun! Ya’ll don’t be strangers, hm?

First off - the stickers! I’ve ordered a new batch, and they’ll be here on Friday, at which time I’ll pop them in envelopes and send them off to the winners.

1. The First Sticker, for comment number fifty goes to…

2. The Second Sticker, for comment number 100 goes to…

3. Now for the biggy… For the whole kit and kaboodle, for the grand prize cup, stein, knitted cozy and dishcloth from Barbara over at Knitting Passion. First, I went to ye ole randomizer and plugged in our numbers:

Then I hit the Get Numbers Now button to see what number it spit out…

And we have number 107! So, time to head to the contest entry and see who belongs to number 107 and…. kick up that drumroll kids… and I SWEAR I did not hit that button but once… The winner is:

KIM! CRY NO MORE Kim! You’re our big winner! Congrats! Expect an email tonight asking for your addy and I’ll put it into the mail this week.

Now - I DO have a couple extra stickers coming - so if you want one, for being so patient when I broke the internets, comment here and tell me your favorite Big Brother Moment of All Time, adding “Big Brother Craze Rocks! Gimme A Sticker!” The first THREE to do so will get one!

Oh America, you are wicked, wicked, wickedly funny! Want to know who got the winning vote for who he has to hug? For at LEAST 10 seconds? Click the cut, kiddos. You are going to LOVE this…

(more…)

Oh, oh OH! There have been rumblings, you see, and the fights and so on, and so forth – but now? NOW….

Here’s hoping that things continue to work out – it’s still a long way until Thursday. Just make sure, America, that we don’t mess this up for Dan! All the ins and outs after the cut!

(more…)

Big Brother gave the houseguests a rest this morning - literally - by letting them sleep in until a couple started showing signs of life around noon. Then it was wake up fishies, and movement - slow and sure - by the houseguests.

The funniest thing going on is all the speculation about Dan being America’s player. They’re giving him non-stop hell about it, and HAVE BEEN since BEFORE the AP twist was brought into the game. Now, they’re trying to avoid all the confrontations, and speculate about twists and how the many weird things Dan does proves he is AP. Dan plays along, jokes along, and tells them to keep it up because it amuses him. And so they do, and so we listen, and everyone is amused.

But especially us, as we picked the perfect guy to pull it off. He’s really rather quick on his feet, our boy Dan!

And hey - I still can’t see the front page of the site. I can’t get to the comments to run the end of the contest either, so sorry, but it’s on hold until I’m back online, clearly. I hear rumors of a sitemeter problem, but it’s only supposed to affect IE, and I use Firefox, so… I dunno. (Nope, I broke it. Hahah) I’ll run the end of the contest as soon as we’re back up and running solid again, guys. Sorry for the delay!

Some vaguely spoilerish things after the cut!
