This site is about the Big Brother 11 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.

Teamies of the HOH cannot be nominated, but they can compete in the next week's HOH comp.
Comps determine living conditions for the teams. The losers live in the Jail room with lights always on cold water showers, and slop.
Viewer votes determine one additional food item the sloppers can have.
Hamsters earn $750 a week including pre-show hotel and jury sequester. It's possible Jessie gets more (BB7 All-Stars did).
The habitat has 52 cameras and 80 mics.
The recorded Big Brother in-house announcements are the voice of producer Don Wollman.

No "cake of poo"

BB6 Maggie said that about Sarah's birthday cake, and why she wouldn't eat any.. Sarah & April both had lavish parties that year with gifts from Kmart.. BB9 Sheila got a store-bought cake but she was surprised fresh out of the shower in a towel.. more recently they've had to make their own cakes - BB10 Keesha had the famous spite cake in the middle of house-wide fighting.. gifts are long since gone, but at least BB finally sprang for some new party hats
Chima's birthday isn't til Tuesday but they celebrated today, probably so it could be edited into Tuesday's show.. everyone participated and we had no snotty remarks about the sad cake-mix cake & cupcakes.. Chima and her teamies got a Have-nots reprieve for an hour, she got a card from her grandma, and nobody sang "Happy Birthday" since The Powers That Be don't want to have to pay for its use
After that came the margarita party that Casey won.. most of us were hoping they'd drink mass quantities and turn this into a big night, but no.. Casey mouthed off to Jeff & Jordan about Jessie, and Michele told Jessie that her choice for veto replacement is Ronnie and for him to go home.. much waffling and double-talk ensued, Jessie cut Casey loose from their "first week" alliance/friendship/pact/whatever, and will likely put him up tomorrow

Daily Ratings - New Party Hats at Last edition

Ratings are based on entertainment value
  
I had a hard time maintaining interest in Sunday's show but I did catch the promise 'the love triangle turns ugly' and thought what's love got to to with it? Later I wondered why they went so light on the ugly. Everyone knows high schoolers have keg parties, but that was still an odd comp theme for family-friendly CBS to throw into high school season. Did I call the editing of Chima's 'America, you suck' right or what? I guess she's still their whipping girl. Jordan had the best line in the show with 'I'm the only popular person left' - true enough teams-wise, but that also goes for the whole mess. Double downs are for the editing that's selective to the point of brainwashing, not one but two parties that fell flat (though it was nice not to see the basketball party hats again), and for 10 minutes of feeds blockage when Showtime started.

Team Offbeat
Yep, the banana suit has already run its course, with the best part of it being how he kept going on about 'I'm a man' while he was having his four-hour grouchy attack. He confirmed once again that he & Jessie have been an item since the first week but it's looking like I called this one wrong and Jessie's going to cut him loose and nominate him tomorrow. It makes no sense to me: the two of them ran the house successfully the first two weeks by having a covert foot in each camp and they could have continued that for weeks. Maybe Diary put the kaibosh on it since the news that they'd met before the show leaked out and oozed all over.

Team Brain
She wasn't thrilled at getting her surprise without any warning to primp but she had a relatively nice party as hamster bashes go, considering she got a note from home, she got to eat cake, everyone attended, and nobody was fighting. She's still the obvious choice to me to go up & out in Michele's place, but I think Jessie's too scared of her (and her opportunity to speak on TV Thursday) to do it. Or again, maybe Diary's pushing to keep her so they can continue to punish her for 'Oh yes he did, Julie' like they kept BB9 Amber to ridicule her on each show well beyond her shelf date. At any rate, Chima's suddenly and mysteriously ultra-cozy with both Jessie & Natalie.. that came along out of the blue.

Team Jock
He's finally catching on to the game of Big Brother and I think he's lucky to have Jordan as a partner & confidante since she's got such good people skills. It's too bad he's got such a huge bull's eye on his back, because he & Jordan are the best only comedy we've got in there, whether they're on their own or doing their act as a team.
|

 
Team Jock - Won: $2,500 HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD
See Michele.
Since he was all over the feeds again and in pertinent scenes, here are a few one-time Jessie-isms of the day: 'the way it trickled down the tree to me' 'the way he competed is obsolete' 'beating a deaf horse' 'that was false accusations that you were bestowed'
(thanks to @DrunkEnough for the trickly tree)

Team Popular NOMINATED
'I'm the only popular person left' in tonight's show was the understatement of the season and everyone knows it. She tried to have a good time at and after the lifeless margarita party but unfortunately for her and us, she's surrounded by a bunch of drips. The Jeff & Jordan comedy show continues throughout the day & night, like it does, but Jeff's been distracted by the evaporation of the Ronnie mutiny lately. Not to worry: we'll get them back soon. (By the way, they did not kiss tonight, other than a little cheek peck at bedtime.)
|

 
Team Offbeat
Wow, this guy really gets what's going on! His chess analogy was the best we've ever heard, and he even convinced Lydia what they need to do to get ahead as a team.. whether it actually sunk in to stay is debatable and remains to be seen. They did manage a four-way pinky swear with Jeff & Jordan tonight to not nominate each other, and while it was remniscent of the ill-fated BB8 Final Four pact, hopefully they'll finally be able to get a little clout against CBS's pet Jessie and his bratty little sister Scrappy Doo.
|

 
Team Offbeat
She didn't drink enough margaritas to start a fight with Natalie or even glare at everyone, and that was a huge disappointment. She did try to pull her pouty babytalk act with Jessie but Michele's little seeds had already taken root and he not only wasn't responding to her like he used to, he proceeded to bash her with Natalie & Russell afterward. This showmangle© might still have an explosion for us in the future, but I think its days are numbered.
|

 
Team Brain NOMINATED - HOLDS VETO
Big ups for letting Jessie think he got her to change her mind to Casey after she proposed Ronnie. She's no dummy - she's got a PhD, remember? - and she may or may not have truly come around to Jessie's way of thinking, but I suspect she just recognized a manipulation effort when she saw one and she also knew it wouldn't help to argue her case. Plus it's really moot: this evictee won't make the jury but the survivor probably will. She also took the opportunity to plant a little seed when Jessie asked her what she's heard about him: she whispered 'Lydia would like you out the door' and with those seven whispered words she was able to accomplish what Natalie's tried and failed to do for three weeks.
|

 
Team Jock - Won: Slop pass
She figured out how to make cupcakes today and that's all I got, since she's THIS close to going on ignore like Jessie. Can't we have a triple eviction this week please?
|

 
Team Brain
He's back to talking game whenever he opens his mouth, except when he's reciting erroneous BB history.. seriously, whether you loved them or hated them, what BB 'expert' would mix up Janelle & Erika? He can't act his way out of a paper bag (or just forgot that he's supposed to be a pariah) and that's what tipped off Casey and the normally not-so-observant Jeff & Jordan about the change of plans. Was he always subtitled VIDEO GAME EXPERT on the CBS show? I just noticed it tonight.
|

 
Team Jock
I didn't see much of him today and that's probably just how he likes it. He's playing a very good game in my opinion, but it's very low profile. Once tomorrow's poop hits the fan, he might get back to being the fun guy.

Team Popular - Won: Nothing She was the star of the first CBS eps although she was barely in there. Her boobies were a show in themselves, and she protested way too much about the attention they got (usually while thrusting them at anyone handy). Mostly she was a miseryguts, glaring & pouting, and claiming to have everything figured out like BB9 Allison but with Shelley Duvall's voice. Her face-off with Jessie was memorable thanks to 'let me get down to your level', 'you're not the boss of me' and 'thrown under the river'.
|

 

Team Popular - Won: Nothing His nekkid pics got out before the premiere, he said Julie's a ho, and he started a race riot in there - but his target Kevin wasn't offended by the words as much as that they hadn't been buddies. The habitat went nuts waffling about his eviction vote (vs Chima) but he was barely involved, although he did provide the fodder for her most shocking nominee speech ever. Despite all that, Braden turned out to be a funny hamster and a great third to the Jeff & Jordan comedy team.
