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.

HOW'S THE WEATHER?
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. The previously-announced 4th task evaporated. Apparently all the 'Dan is America's Player' suspicions will not invalidate him.. 'plant' didn't, anyway.

Places, everyone (Wednesday)
The camera came out, like it does.. Jerry took the opportunity to direct the posing, mostly around the flag that's still flying off a chair.. neither he nor Dan seem to know flag protocol requires it be brought in at night, unless illuminatedIt's pretty quiet in there anymore: Keesha's still bored and still vocal about it.. Memphis Bob advised Dan about how to make money off this later with parties and personal appearances.. they noticed they have fishies food through September 16 but they haven't caught on yet, largely because Dan keeps insisting the "finale is always on a Sunday".. Renny did her roots.. Memphis Bob grilled up lunch but without incident again
Dan announced "I'm not gonna yelled at today at all" and proceeded to talk about Diary several times, give shoutouts to hometown businesses, and get yelled at.. Keesha & Renny finally compared notes about the Dan & Memphis Bob Boyz Club.. Jerry also made mention of it, since they wanted their pic taken togetherDan shaved Memphis Bob's back, under protest (kinda).. and they sat down with Craig Ferguson again - none of them were very perky this time except Renny, who joked about her husband laying pipe
Renny's last night, probably
She walked in on Jerry in the toilet, and demonstrated for the others "how he stands there" - Jerry was not amused.. she started to pack up her monumental collection of clothes, costumes & hats, and she & Keesha broke down sobbing at one point over losing each other.. they got one bottle of wine and the guys told the girls to have it, thinking that beer would be coming along too - it didn't
Renny isn't going out quietly though: she got all three guys riled up good by talking a lot about Brian, broken Semper Fi swears, Dan's cross and Bible swears, how Dan & Memphis Bob were Brian's buddies, and so forth.. she wasn't as buzzed as she seemed, and for once her seeds weren't too subtle and they took root immediately.. later at bedtime, she got both Dan & Memphis Bob to talk about their dads and their bad relationships with them.. she worked overtime on her last night, getting them both riled, parannoying, and a bit fragile
The spider carried on its work too - it's become one of the more interesting to watch
Keesha's bored (Tuesday)
She's established her own identity since we first met her, but lately she's starting to resemble BB8 Daniele again with her constant whiningI thought about changing the drinking game to whenever Keesha says "I'm so bored!" but we'd get smashed as soon as we fire up the feeds.. we stand a better chance with the fishies (just)
Body counts continue, and duty calls.. I'm hoping to make this a double episode with Wednesday - we'll see if they let me
No luxury comp for you
Dan thought it would be fun to pretend they were going to have one - apparently Diary didn't think much of his top hat & gloves "It's time for the luxury competition!" announcement: they cut him off with fishiesLucky for me, nothing very noteworthy happened.. Memphis Bob grilled up some lunch (uneventfully) but they ate soup and mac 'n cheese for dinner.. they had an early and paltry booze delivery that went nowhere, except it brought pillow fights & pile-ons a couple hours earlier than usual - complete with the usual Keesha squeals, plus Jerry in attendance
Jerry's been laying around a lot on his own, talking to himself and griping that everyone ignores him - he's not as oblivious he lets on

I never think much of it when we get to this stage and the hamsters are on a first-name basis with Diary personnal. This season we've got James, Chris, Hailey, Adam, and others in there, and that's just wrong in my opinion. They should be anonymous voice entities, not buddies, and they should be a whole lot firmer about making Dan in particular stop sending us continually to fishies. |
 
Won: $20k (presumably)He protested a lot about manscaping Memphis Bob, but he did it rather than wait to let Keesha do it - she offered. He was parannoying pretty bad after Renny's last night of work, and luckily for us, he even passed up greenlight scare tactics after overhearing the tie-dye room talking about his virginity. |
 
Won: $4kHEAD OF HOUSEHOLD He made some nasty generalizations about Mexico that I'm pretty sure won't hit the air, since CBS is still passing him off as the kindly elder statesman. But to his credit, he also informed the other four about April & Ollie's sexcapades. I'd put him on ignore but it's too much trouble to code in the empty cage. |
  
NOMINATEDShe's really turned out to be likeable for the most part, late night shrieking aside, and it was sad to see her break down over one of them (Renny) leaving tomorrow. I don't know what she's got in mind as far as sticking with Dan & Memphis Bob, but I'm hoping she'll stand up next week and boot one or both of them out - and Jerry too, if possible. |
 
Won: Classic CamaroHe's popping a few more funnies here & there, but he's far from life of the party material. Unfortunately for us, he seems to be an able griller, so with Renny gone, about the only thing we can hope for now is for this guy to finally blow up at Jerry.. it's definitely building up. |
 
NOMINATEDCumulative ups for a stellar hamster career this season, and particularly for her parting shots that definitely got under all three guys' skin tonight. It'll be awfully hard for most of us to see her go: The Powers That Be don't seem to think much of her, but she's become a true fan favorite and with any luck, they'll have an America's Choice for her to pick up some extra cash. |
    He arrived as the innocent Preacher's Son but soon proved that false, as he & April shattered the record for hamster sex that included doggie-style, spanks and visuals. Nearly all of it was on the feeds, and the word spread even beyond the BB world. He was usually pleasant enough but had a temper tantrum ranking up there with the champ hissy-fitters. Like many others, he learned to swim at summer camp. |
   Almost brilliant but poor judgment kept her glued to devalued teamies and she let paranoia take over her game. She was almost good watching but poor people skills, repetitive & constant whispers, and annoying babytalk didn't help - Holly Poodle skits & medical help excepted. She's the third member of the elite Red Catsuit Club and her leaked Diary showed how much flirting really goes on in there. |
   Won: Designer clothes, $5k We've had sex on the feeds before, but we never actually saw it until she came along. She one-upped often but to her credit, she impressively won the first endurance. She had delusions about her importance in & out of the habitat, and her Barbie Battles with Keesha plus her other fights were something. But we knew from the start she wouldn't be invisible, thanks to her most unusual introduction to the others. |
   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. |
