I don't care who wins, I'm just here for the cheap entertainment.. the cheaper, the better
This site is about the Big Brother feeds and contains spoilers! It isn't necessarily thorough: it's what I catch and/or what interests me. It also isn't necessarily about who will win, who should win, who's cute or who's horrid. It's about watching hamsters: who's doing what and why, who's fun and who's dull. If they aren't entertaining, get rid of 'em! Thanks for encouraging my behavior.

RATINGS WATCH
Tuesday's show remained in second place with a 4.2 rating and 7 share, well behind 'America's Got Talent' on NBC with 7.4/12.
AMERICA'S PLAYER
Task 1: Who should Dan get nominated? Jessie/successful
Task 2: Who should Dan hug for 10 seconds? Jessie/successful
Task 3: Who should Dan vote to evict? awaiting Jessie confirmation
Dan gets $20k if successful and not discovered: whether it's a $20k package deal or $5k per task isn't clear. It's also not clear whether all the 'Dan is America's Player' suspicions will invalidate him.

A very, very, very good chance of fights
Dan will have four AP tasks: who to get nominated, who to get evicted, plus two 'fun tasks'
Apparently they'll be on Craig Ferguson every Wednesday night now
The only remaining birthday is Dan's, September 1 - if he's still around then
FAQ
Jerry's on slop for 1 week (but he ate birthday cake on Sunday)
Michelle's in the red catsuit for 1 week
Memphis Bob has a 1 week slop pass
(so do Janelle and Sharon)

Arts & crafts
Well, crafts anyway.. Jerry got hold of scissors somehow and went to town.. he fashioned a cut-out "20" shirt for Dan, which I believe was to commemorate his 20-month anniversary with the lovely Monica.. maybe it wasn't up to Martha Stewart's standards, but Dan liked itJerry followed that up by cutting off some of his own tee sleeves, and making himself a sleeve-mandana - just what we needed
The camera came out and they snapped their happy pics, like they do
I'd kind of hoped to do a combined episode for yesterday & today, but they got up to more than I'd hoped, and I wasn't proud of linking back to a BB6 page yesterday, when I was putting in a lot more effort on a daily basis.. but I need more of you to sign up for the feeds so I can make it through the season, and that isn't likely to happen if I cover too much of what goes on
Spite cake
April glared at the spyscreen for a very long time before napping, then they went behind fishies to talk with Craig FergusonWhen they got back, April donned her stilettos to mix up a birthday cake for Libra.. she bitched about Libra through the mixing & baking, frosting & decorating, with Ollie providing moral support, kinda
Outside, Libra bitched about April making her cake, but she feigned joy & delight when most of them gathered round to sing, again
Unfortunately, nobody openly refused to eat 'that cake of poo' (© BB6 Maggie) but several were probably thinking it
The new Christmas ornaments have arrived
I don't know (or care) why Jessie put his green catsuit back on, but he did.. he & Michelle romped around and mugged for them and us for awhile, then settled into playing pool, then moped aroundJerry gave Keesha some pointers with his stretchy exercise thingy, and then proceeded to bore some of the others.. Keesha got saran wrapped for her sauna again, and Dan, who watched and thought it was funny last night, excused himself this time.. I don't know why but can guess
April continued to glare her way through the evening, finally pulling Ollie to bed to make out & gripe at him while staring at the spyscreen.. several of the others are still up directly below their room as I type this - I'll update later for any events that might occur there.. if they go at it like they have the last few nights, those in the kitchen will surely hear it
Update, as promised: if they got busy before the wake-up calls began or after they all settled back in to try to sleep through them, it wasn't on the feeds.
If Dan's voting instructions have been made clear, I missed it.. as far as I can tell, Plan 7 Splits Into 4+3 is still alive and well
Bedtime shenanigans came along on cue, beginning with Renny jumping Dan when he came out of Diary, with a stocking over her face.. that carried into the tie-dye room where Memphis Bob hid under a bed and jumped out at Dan, who joined in to jump out at Libra and then Renny - they got her back, and goodJerry made an unusual surprise guest appearance this time, likely causing them, feedsters, and little children everywhere to have nightmares forever more
Just as Julie was sitting down with Craig for the BB timezone and asking him not to point out the nightly porn show for fear April & Ollie would end it, their wake-up calls began

Daily ratings - Dear Craig edition
Ratings are based on entertainment value
  
Super big ups to Hamsterwatcher Teleia, whose email to Craig about the nightly porn show got through and was read! And what a bonus for us that thanks to Julie's suggesting they don't mention it to the gruesome twosome for fear of making them camera shy (as if!), they were both overlooked in the hamster Q&A. That really helped to reinforce and continue April's already pissy mood for the rest of the day & evening, and that was a very good thing. I have no doubt the email & subject matter was approved by TPTB (to help build interest and sell feeds), so kudos to them for getting one right. There were only a couple good wake-up calls, but tonight I'll even overlook the mostly lame ones that went into repetitions way too soon.. just this once. BTW was that BB9 Chelsia we heard in some of them? |
 
Won: $4k (TBC)HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD Her comic relief value is due to plummet soon - possibly when she herself plummets back to the general population tomorrow, with a splat - but today her solo 10+ minute glare at the spyscreen was hysterical, as was her bitchy cake recipe, with its extra helping of passive-aggressive filler plus heels. Note we have a new drinking game today thanks to her. Her HOH this week will go down in BB history as one of the most disastrous ever.. heh. |
  
AMERICA'S TEMP PLAYERHe wasn't as out there today as he has been, but maybe he's realized he really should lay low for another day just to be on the safe side. He had his moments though, including his hasty exit from the spa when Keesha came in wrapped in saran wrap (after being fascinated and laughing along with it the last time). He's got one more 'fun task' after tomorrow's vote, and let's hope it's more 'fun' than 'hug somebody' even though that one turned out okay thanks to Dan's charm, excellent fake crying, and infectious joy upon completion. |
 
Won: $3k (TBC)The Jerryisms just keep coming even though he bores most of them to tears several times a day. He began today by fashioning himself a sleeve-dana against all odds, and towards the end of the night, he said he'd like to put out an exercise video. As Ricky Ricardo would say, 'Ay-yay-yay-yay-yay.' His sleeve-dana mask, Afro wig, and blue jammies appearance was just plain disturbing. |
  
NOMINATEDTelling Craig 'I think you're drawing too much attention to me' was rich coming from him, since attention seems to be the only thing he's interested in. Let's hope that by 5.35pm BB time on Thursday, his empty wheel will have finally fulfilled its long overdue prophecy. |
 
I don't get the saran wrap saunas, but I don't think I want to. She made the best faces during the early wake-ups when they were all still awake, and her sniping about April & Libra is getting better every day. Bring on the Battling Barbies! |
 
Won: Hawaii trip, $3k (TBC)Having her bitch about April making her birthday cake while April was bitching about her while making it was like something out of a sitcom, only you can't make this stuff up. She let slip the name of her daycare today, and it turns out she did exaggerate about their prices. She also announced she has a pool and boat.. she can cry about how much she needs the money all she wants, but she's pretty much locked herself out of any chance of winning based on that, thanks to her incessant need to gloat about how well off she is. |
 
Won: Classic CamaroNOMINATED He was the designated fun guy again today, if we overlook his continuing showbiz spiels, of course. Here's hoping he sticks around after tomorrow, not only because he's one of the few left who knows how to have a good time, but because of the total uproar the habitat will go into. Good times ahead, especially if he or Michelle wins HOH! |
 
I knew Craig would zero in on her catsuit, and she played it up perfectly. I'm not sure what was up with her putting on the Afro wig to bite her nails, nor with her cohort putting his catsuit back on, but no matter. She'll come back into her own tomorrow once he leaves.. hopefully as HOH, when they'll all have to come crawling. That will make it all worthwhile that she had the worst time with the later wake-ups, jumping up with a shriek each time one started over. |
 
I think April's just about sucked him dry (no pun intended), and it's getting painful watching him have to put up with her everlasting whining, bitching & griping, and it was downright pathetic watching him melt into the kitchen counter as she baked her cake of hate. Once everything blows wide open tomorrow, I'm hoping he'll get back to being out & about more, where he belongs. |
 
Her stocking mask scare for Dan was pretty funny, as was her not-so-amused reaction when he & Memphis Bob got her back a few minutes later. She had the last laugh though, since she seems to be one of the few sleeping peacefully through the wake-up calls. |
   The third fan fave to walk the plank, she was a great sidekick to the fun guys but she didn't bring much after they left, including any real attempt to save herself. Like many who have gone before, she seems like she'd be a cool person in reality, but this isn't. Her angry hat and illegal tribute bandana aside, she did a great Julie puppet and manscaping. Bikini fans will miss her, as will the Behind Pillows alliance. |
   They all liked him and his shenanigans, but his comp potential and desperate pledges of multi allegiance got him booted anyway, plus he was Brian's pal. He entertained them and us like few have before, with skits, dances, nekkid romps, Ambien-induced bedtime stories and general looniness. Too bad he went before he made it upstairs: he'd probably have revived Bath Buddies® and done it right. |
   He made more of an impact than most who get voted out first and he had the potential to be a fan fave but he over-allied and betrayed too early and had a very negative edit to boot. He was smart, funny, and a good ringleader for the guys - time will tell if they can be as fun without him. Sock Puppet Theater on only the second night of feeds, under his direction, could be the highlight of the season. |
