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.

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.

>> Libra evicted 6-0 - Renny won Head of Household <<
"They will be put to death!"
Memphis Bob read aloud from Dan's Bible, exaggerating all the offenses listed as execution-worthy in Exodus.. Dan seemed a little offended by the exaggeration, but didn't make much of a protestKeesha whined about packing (Libra's been packing for a few days now), Jerry jumped Renny, and the rest of them cleaned and complained about the ubiquitous ants - which they only really do on Thursdays.. they all began their primping, as their (and our) long, dull week is about to end
So long, Libra
As it turned out, Keesha needn't have bothered with all her packing worriesShe spent much of the time between the show and HOH room debut talking with Renny, saying she should keep Memphis Bob around but that Renny should do what's best for her.. she also reminded Renny that as HOH, she could and maybe should cut some deals
Ollie, April & April's thong spent most of that time humping each other in the punk room, with and without Jerry present
Go Renny!
She broke down as she led the crowd in to her HOH room, as she saw her mom's picture that she'd hoped would be in thereShe showed her parents to us, and her hubby and kids to them.. Dan was especially taken with her New Orleans Saints dancer days.. she read her letter without choking up - it was a lovely letter, one of the nicer ones we've heard
Just a few minutes after that, they sent them all outside - not for the middle sized table as I'd guessed, but to load up the old big one with April's designer clothes prizeShe took her time unwrapping everything and holding up each dress or pair of shoes to ooh's and ahh's from Renny, Michelle & Keesha - there were some pricey brands there.. April didn't seem overly thrilled with her new duds, and she didn't say "Thank you Big Brother" like they usually do
A few more screencaps are in the forum along with a slide show of April's new fashions by Aldav.

You have to wonder why they did April's new clothes on one of the only nights of the week that already has some activity? |
 
Won: Designer clothes, $5kVTE Libra If looks could kill, there'd be some dead hamsters around there after she was eliminated from the HOH comp. She sure didn't seem too happy with her pricey collection of new clothes and shoes, but it's polite to say 'thank you' even if you don't particularly like a gift. During late night Libra-bashing, her main contribution was about how Libra one-ups everyone all the time.. that would be the one thing she noticed, since she's the one-upping champ. |
 
Won: $20k (presumably)VTE Libra He laid around, ate too much, and laid around some more. |
 
Won: $4kVTE Libra He made some cracks about Libra's weight during Libra-bashing hour, but his main contribution was how he 'never forgave her' for blaming the old people for losing that ancient food comp. He seems to have a lot of things he 'never forgives'. He may find himself on the other side of that soon, as he let slip how he'd been attempting some double-dipping this week, and it was heard & discussed by all of them afterward, except Dan and Renny - they'll probably get caught up tomorrow. |
 
No vote (nominee)She led the Libra-bashing tonight, and while she was balanced and complimentary at times, she pointed out Libra's M.O. of having to constantly bring others down, as well as her constant money obsession. I'm guessing Keesha didn't want HOH this week, as she sat there for what felt like five minutes before Renny finally buzzed in. It's all good though: hopefully we'll have another chapter of Battling Barbies this week. She already got the first lick in, indirectly, by telling April that Libra had said she had bags under her eyes. |
 
Won: Classic CamaroVTE Libra He keeps getting close to being entertaining, but doesn't quite get there. |
 
No vote (HOH)She proved herself to be a world class sucker-upper when she made her pitch to Renny, and she might not even be aware that Renny was stringing her along like a yo-yo. She's tighter than ever with both Memphis Bob and April/Ollie, but I have a feeling none of them think of her as much more than a vote. I didn't catch her interview with Julie, but she still doesn't bring much to the feeds but a whole lot of psst-pssting with occasional babytalk, but I am starting to think of Holly Poodle as a full fledged hamster. |
 
VTE LibraHe acted like he was almost bored when April was writhing away on top of him after the show ended, and he didn't have much to say when Michelle crashed his & April's bed to giggle and psst-psst at bedtime. Chances are good he & April will only have another week to boink before they're reunited in the jury house, so keep your feeds on those two this week. |
  
VTE LibraHEAD OF HOUSEHOLD They all seemed to enjoy her pics & letter, and all seemed genuinely happy for her (a rarity at this stage). She amused them all as she went down the photo wall and told a little story about each of them as well as the absentees, but she's as cagey as she is funny and her nominations will probably not come back to haunt her as much as others. Her best bet would be to get rid of Memphis Bob as he's probably the most dangerous one in there, but she'll likely take the safer, smarter route and put up April & Ollie with the easy, non-personal excuse that their pairing is now a full fourth of the habitat - and that's a problem for them all. |
    Won: Hawaii trip, $1k She ran the tie-dye room with an iron fist but only for a short time: her minions had turned on her long before Jessie & Michelle painted a bull's eye on her for being their leader. She took a lot of flak for leaving her babies and for choosing Hawaii, and her financial sob stories didn't always add up. But she told some fun stories, rebelled against giving comp recaps to Diary, and added great fireworks to fights. |
   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. |
