I don't care who wins, I'm just here for the cheap entertainment.. the cheaper, the better
FALLOUT AFTER JURY QUESTIONING * BB10 FEEDS REPLAY * 2 WEEK FREE TRIAL * SUPERPASS HAS FULL-LENGTH MOVIES TOO *
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.
FEED REPLAY IS UNDERWAY
Oops, it was underway and seems to have been pulled. Maybe it'll start over again after finale as usual.

BIG BROTHER 11
It's been announced as a midseason replacement which doesn't mean definite, but it may come back for another winter/spring edition.. they need some kind of filler to go against 'American Idol'. eligibility - application
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.

"Extra TV in the living room"
That was the morning's excitement after their usual pre-show lockdown, for which they were sent outside rather than the now-locked HOH roomThe living room TV let them know what anyone who's watched the F3>F2 eviction show knows: that the final Q&A will be held there and not in HOH as they thought.. it'll likely be the usual "How did this jury member complete this sentence?"
Jerry saw a medic, maybe the chiropractor he's been begging for.. Memphis Bob threatened to evict Jerry with a speech including "On behalf of Judas and the Womanizer" - he said this only to Dan, of course
Dan & Memphis Bob continue adding to their ignorance of BB and their contracts: both think the 1st & 2nd placers get their stipend along with their winnings, and they think they'll get their checks instantly.. sadly (for us), they've all been tipped off about jury questioning, but with any luck, they'll still be blindsided by the intensity of the jury's bitterness, as usual
Doomed Friends of Brian
So the guys on everyone's hit list after Brian & Steven outlasted everyone.. how ironic is that?Well, I guess it's about as ironic as the fact that this was Brian's eviction night on the feeds replay (until it was pulled).. Dan was Public Enemy #2 at the time, after Steven, and that day's Hamsterwatch episode includes this: "Former fun club member, sock puppeteer, and sometime Brian cohort Memphis Bob seems to have come out relatively clean, somehow" - that held true til the end
Julie may acknowledge their Renny-gades tag, but I still refer to them as the remnants of the Doomed Friends of Brian alliance, and it proved to be strong after all - almost as strong as the Under/Behind Pillows alliance turned out to be
After Jerry walked the plank, our finalists were given some more heads up about jury Q&A as far the format, and that it would be tomorrow as usual.. luckily for us, they truly don't seem prepared for it - Dan said "They're all gonna be interested in what we have to say" and Memphis Bob agreed - so we could have some very good fallout afterwards.. here's hoping
Their champagne toast and stylish dinner was withheld from the feeds - go figure
More tomorrow, but probably not til after jury questioning
Daily ratings - Final Two edition
Ratings are based on entertainment value
  
Major negatives for withholding the champagne and special dinner from us. We deserve to see the finalists celebrate their finish, and a cap of the finalists' toast is a Hamsterwatch staple; plus it's the only real event likely to happen on the feeds between now and finale, other than jury fallout. They must really be trying to kill the whole feeds thingy in favor of Showtime and three hours of control versus all the problems the feeds & feedsters cause them. Julie always looks so nice when she's on with Craig Ferguson, but for most live shows she looks like she's wearing a $19.99 KMart special. Not that there's anything wrong with that et cetera, but she can afford and she can pull off better than what she wears to greet evictees in her boudoir. Jerry had another quip at the ready but he did a nice exit interview (against all odds) so I'll give him a pass - this time only. I seriously doubt they'll really show 'the season's most outrageous moments' on Sunday's rehash show, as CBS isn't likely to air doggie-style-with-spanks porn at 8pm. |
  
Won: $20k (presumably)HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD They're both as gloaty as each other, but I think Dan's just a bit gloatier. Apparently they both got spanked behind trivia for Dan's feedsters diss, as they came back from their very long dinner praising us for a second. They keep talking about how they've been a team 'since Week 4' and that sounded iffy so I went back to check. I'm not counting the mutiny when Jessie left instead of Memphis Bob, as that was thrust upon both of them by Keesha & friends, and by viewers via the AP vote (which worked out conveniently for Dan all around). It was Day 32 when the has-beens showed up for the food comp though, and that was the day Brian told Dan to hook up with Memphis Bob. So it's not only a bit more recent than the boyz think, but it's another example (and an early one) of the many things that helped Dan; some of which shouldn't have happened and wouldn't have happened in a fair and legit game. |
 
Won: Classic CamaroI don't know which of them decided they should swear on their girlfriends getting shot in the head to ensure they'd each boot Jerry, but they both did and I filled up Dan's quota of space already. As far as the Week 4 stuff, Jessie was gone but Memphis Bob was still in bed with his other early teamie Michelle at the time of the has-beens food comp. I think he just took on Dan as insurance - a policy that paid off, obviously. Memphis Bob will have his hands full getting many jury votes at this point, especially with the blatantly pro-Dan question tonight 'Did Jerry or Memphis coast in this game?' but that's Big Brother for you. Dan's secret field trip and his knowing about Keesha leaving despite his protests may be wildcards, but Memphis Bob's got three broken Final Two deals on the jury, and both his & Dan's many double-dippings should come out and hopefully make for good post-jury questioning fallout. |
    Won: $4k As the old guy token deluxe, he kept up with the kids surprisingly well and survived a couple 6-foot drops off comp apparatus. Mostly he bored them and us with dull stories, and he was shunned by most of them most of the time. He ate a lot of slop and provided constipation consulting services. He got down & dirty with the girls too many times and when he got nasty, he was far more vicious than most. |
   More modest than expected and smarter than she appeared: she may have lasted if she'd let them underestimate her early - and stayed awake later. She starred in some spectacular fights like Battling Barbies (fueled by enema angst), and she was the ideal Drunk Girl. Saran wrap saunas were odd but her laugh was infectious (if peculiar), especially when Renny's antics had her literally rolling. |
   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. |
