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

Study guide
The photo wall lit up with pics from some of the season's comps - likely something to do with tonight's HOH compDan & Keesha seemed to do the most studying of them, and Dan & Jerry continued to show their ignorance of the BB web world and modern technology, respectively (see Lines of the Day on the sidebar).. otherwise it's been a typical live show day, with lots of blackouts.. Renny's ready to go
A weighty visitor
Renny walked the plank as scheduled, and the others were greeted by a sumo wrestler/actor being fed lines through an earpieceHe was speaking bad Japanese and occasionally standing to do the traditional sumo ring greetings/stompings.. Dan caught on to reach in and grab the clue he was sitting on the rest of the time
It only gave the same basic info that Julie gave us during the show, that they'll have a luxury comp tomorrow for "an amazing trip that could change the game".. then the guy gathered up his little stool and left the habitat
The last room debut
It was a far cry from the early days when bunches of them herded around the pics and goodies, but they were happy for Dan and enjoyed his letter almost as much as he didDan & Memphis Bob plotted about who to nominate, since the veto is everything this week.. they also talked themselves into believing they'll get to take a day trip to Japan - which is a loony enough idea on its own, but they don't even have passports.. I'll guess someone will be offered a super-deluxe trip somewhere if they'll forfeit the game.. if not that, then maybe a trip to a Japanese restaurant - maybe Geisha House, with coaching by Boogie for what "could change the game" (not likely).. a trip to visit the jury house isn't likely either, but it would be interesting
Keesha sat outside alone for awhile and cried, missing Renny - we all miss her
Some screencaps of the days are in the forum thanks to ABT
Daily ratings - Final Four edition
VTE = Voted to evict
Ratings are based on entertainment value
  
Ups are Renny's, for going out with style and class, for being the crowd pleaser that she is, and for giving us a little tear along with her usual spunkiness. We already knew she can light up a room like nobody's business, but her trademark smile even dwarfed the reflections off Julie's gigantic ring. As for the producers, they aren't even trying anymore to make the recycled props look fresh: how many seasons have they used that three-way Q&A platform now? The sumo guy was a nice touch, but his Japanese was deplorable and even the hamsters noticed the ear bug feeding him his lines. |
 
Won: $20k (presumably)HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD VTE Renny Ups for winning another comp and an important one. Even the jurors who can't stand him will have to take his comp wins into account if he lasts til finals. He camped out by Diary for 20 minutes or more to scare Keesha on her way out, and this one was even more unnecessary than usual since she'd probably been talking (crying) about Renny leaving. His letter basically said to STFU about his sister's love life, and that Grandma's still watching and wondering. He & Memphis Bob actually believe BB will send them to Japan for the day, without a passport; and they agreed it would be funny if Jerry didn't win the trip since he's talked nonstop about Japan (err.. that's Korea, guys). |
  
Won: $4kNo vote (HOH) Naturally he claimed he knew all the comp answers, but that's easy to claim when he didn't play. He was nice enough about Dan's new set of pics but made a few cracks about how 'fat' he used to be. Otherwise the three kids spent most of the evening avoiding him, as usual. He too will give any of them a run for their money if he makes it to finals, based on comp wins alone; and even though most of the jury can't stand him, most of them have hamsters they hate more still in the game. |
 
No vote (nominee)Sympathy ups for feeling so alone after Renny's departure are neutralized by her disastrous performance in a very important comp. Does she have test anxiety, or is she playing dumb so one of the guys will take her to Final Three thinking she's a non-threat, or is she just dumb? She studied those pics today long and hard, and I believe she only answered one question correctly - and with a 50/50 chance to guess right! She had a few misty moments tonight, partly for Renny (and perhaps for her part in getting her out), but she also mentioned how Diary 'puts things' in their heads. |
 
Won: Classic CamaroVTE Renny He's still there and sitting prettier than ever now, since he's got Final Two pacts with everyone who's still there. He's tapered off on his showbiz stories and that's a plus, and he avoided a v-neck tonight - although he unbuttoned his live show shirt strategically to come out the same. It seemed clear he wouldn't win the HOH comp since they showed all his pics 20 minutes earlier plus he didn't study, but it was nice to meet the lovely Ashley and to find out his buddy shops at the same v-neck store he does. See Dan re believing in a one-day trip to Japan without a passport, and confusing Japan with Korea. |
    She rebounded from a disastrous start to become a feedsters dream and viewer fave. She planted subtle seeds, was liked even by those she poked at, and she revived the Dr. Will method of manipulation without malice. She also had a full costume trunk and put on unexpected shows to keep them and us rolling in the aisles. Hamsterwatch Star of the Season: she personified why feeds are required. |
   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. |
