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.

NEXT SHOW
Thursday, August 14 at 8pm: Live eviction, HOH comp, assorted out-of-sequence dramas
INTERNET STREAM
Westies can watch the air show live when it's on in the East at www.watch.videobrother.com
RATINGS WATCH
Same story: Tuesday's show placed second with a 4.3 rating and 7 share, well behind the Olympics on NBC with 17.9/28.
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? Jessie/successful
Dan gets $20k if successful and not discovered. Apparently the previously-announced 4th task has evaporated. It's not clear whether all the 'Dan is America's Player' suspicions will invalidate him.

Pranks
Dan & Keesha ran around taking each other's stuff, putting yogurt on beds, etc to the delight of themselves.. nobody else seemed very interestedJerry continued trashing Dan: "he runs like a girl" might sound milder than "cocksucker", but I have a feeling it's as bad or worse, in Jerryspeak.. he's also trashing Keesha when talking to his new best friends April, Ollie & Michelle.. the self-proclaimed "BB expert" figures this week will be a physical HOH since last week was mental, but Jerry was probably fast asleep for every HOH comp past and doesn't realize most are phone booth Q&A.. another fishie died
This is one of their two food days this week, so we can only hope for booze later
Halfway cake
They got their halfway party tonight, with take-out Italian food, wine, beer, and cake with their faces on it.. they can deface some of those later, according to traditionWe got fishies since they had music.. one of the black fishies was signaling like crazy, maybe saying "Help! Get me out of this death trap!"
I don't know if they've realized halfway now means a shorter season than the usual 80+ days, or that four evictions isn't even close to being half of 13.. but hey, they had booze, so it could be a fun night
Get a clue, Jerry
He hovers around and crashes every conversation and they all talk about what a pain he is once they escape himHe topped even himself tonight though, by joining April & Ollie in the pink room - while they were cuddling & making out - and asking to join their convo
Before that, April & Ollie did have time to progress from game chat to bickering, like they do (bickering is their foreplay).. they might have taken their typical next step and boinked each other - a first for Showtime - if Jerry hadn't killed their buzz
The outside crowd did sex chat, truth or dare, and the usual complaining.. not much fun came out of this booze delivery

I can overlook a fishies blackout for their halfway party if I have to, but what's up with all the 5, 10, 15 minute fishies during Showtime lately? That's not right. Also not right is letting this group of spoiled kids whine about deserving a luxury comp every day. They're already living in relative luxury, and they've already had cracks at and won a car, vacation, designer clothes, and cash.. not to mention NOT earning the grill. Enough with the whining for luxuries.. make 'em earn their keep and come up with their own amusements. |
  
Won: Designer clothes, $5kShe is so full of herself, she's a total comedy show all on her own, and doubly so when she starts in with Ollie on their out-of-control spiraling Relationship talks. Tonight we learned that she was previously engaged and/or married for a short time, and that she's been with at least one pro athlete. She also claims she's lived with 'VIP treatment' before, and she thinks P Diddy is probably watching the show (and her). Keep in mind, this is all per her. I've got nothing to say about her big P in this pic.. it's just too easy. |
  
Won: $20k (presumably)He tried today, playing pranks with Keesha and threatening a Murder Mystery Party for Showtime, but it didn't pan out. He gave one lousy clue, and that was that. |
 
Won: $4kThe longer this thing goes on, the less likeable most of them get (as usual), so it's kind of fun to watch him continue to pester them all. He talked again today about his first marriage, but this time he added that he doesn't know if his kids know about it or not.. they do now. |
 
NOMINATEDShe tried with the Dan pranks, but other than cracking up again a few times tonight, she's not really bringing it either. There are whispers of booting her instead of Libra, but chances are real good they'll go nowhere. |
 
Won: Hawaii trip, $1kNOMINATED She's not bringing much of anything anymore other than unfortunate hair days. |
 
Won: Classic CamaroHe's still playing it smarter than most, by far. His latest ruse, while continuing to be in bed with everyone else, is that he keeps talking about the jury house and how it's no difference to him whether he goes there second or last, as the money's all the same. He's not nearly as subtle as Renny, but he is planting a lot of 'I won't be around long' seeds with that one, so they may overlook him for quite awhile to come. But his entertainment value has dropped to nil. |
 
HEAD OF HOUSEHOLDIt's a crime they didn't show any of her pillow fights with herself, but that's what happens when compressing four hours of fights into four minutes for primetime. She worked Dan over pretty hard tonight, and later April & Ollie too, in what sounded like an attempt to flip the vote and boot Keesha instead of Libra, but it probably won't happen. Her only entertainment value lately is her endless variety of facial expressions. |
 
See April, with the revelations that the once-innocent preacher's son now claims to have slept with three times as many women than April has men, that he slept with as many women as he could for awhile, that he's been with 'one, maybe two' strippers, and one married woman - which he described as 'the worst thing he's ever done'. Innocent, indeed! |
 
A very low key and low profile day for her, although she did wear her googly glasses for a minute and scolded Dan for tweaking her in the wrong place after she jumped him in a doorway. |
    The first to get an empty wheel before their time, his comic relief wore off fast and he brought nothing but a major mirror obsession and raging insecurity. But it's not all bad: he laid around in pink pillows and talked himself gone with rampaging harangues, and he'll carry the fact that he lost to a girl while wearing spandex, then lost to three girls plus Renny. Rehabs will profit from the Jessie Drinking Game. |
   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. |
