SEE IT ALL! THE FIGHTS - THE SEX - THE WEIRD STUFF THAT CBS WON'T SHOW YOU
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.

FAQ
The official story is Chima was booted. We will never know the complete true story: it was all behind fishies
Jeff won the Coup d'Etat in a public vote and used it to replace Chima's noms (Lydia & Russell) with Jessie & Natalie
Food comps determined living conditions: the losers lived in the Jail room with lights always on, cold water showers, and slop.
Viewer votes determined an additional food item the sloppers could have.
Teams are over. There were four teams: Populars, Jocks, Brainiacs, and Offbeats.
Teamies of the HOH could not be nominated, but they could compete in the next week's HOH comp.
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.
Sadly, Craig Ferguson was not recycled back in this year.

How to pick a winner
Since most of Big Brother 11 has been recycled from past seasons, I may as well follow suit by rerunning this old chestnut.. I think I've included it as a late season item here every year since I've been doing the site (BB5) but it bears repeating since we actually do have a vote this time - however confusing the ballot is - and since the hamsters are doing absolutely nothingBy the way, if you're inclined to throw cash to CBS to vote by text message, I strongly urge you to vote free online and send your extra money to me instead - there's a Paypal link on the left
I've always maintained it doesn't matter a bit who gets the money unless you're a second cousin or better but some Hamsterwatchers seem to care who wins, so without further ado or undignified begging, I once again present the following for your voting enjoyment.. after all, we're more qualified to make a selection than the six bitter jurors - we don't see any relevant Diary footage anymore since they record pro & con versions of everything now and they don't air any of the meaty stuff, but we've seen far more than the jury so they too need to "pick" one of these methods:
Played the best game
This is the popular, politically-correct method that everyone claims to use, but nobody really does.. Natalie would be the easy front-runner here, but nearly every 'game' falls into one of the other categories so don't feel pressured to vote for her through some misguided urge to be PC
Lied the best/mostObviously this also points to Natalie, but this one's a little squirrely as it crosses over into ethical/unethical territory, and that leads to arguments about politics and/or religion, and that leads to flame wars every time.. BB2 Dr. Will is the exception here: he won by skirting the moral issues and flat-out lied about everything - except the fact that he was lying, and he was light years more fun & charming about it than Natalie
Needs the money most
Please! We all 'need' a half million dollars! Anyone who goes on a tv show to pay their Visa bill or because they can't scrape together the next car payment should consider credit counseling, bankruptcy, gambling, or steady employment.. we're all sick of the sob stories
Cutest/sexiest/dreamiest
Generally a favorite method for feedsters, but more jury members are closet cutest-sexiest-dreamiest voters than they'll admit
Smartest player
A favorite for feedsters and jury alike, it's what most really mean when they say 'best game' - basically it means 'smarter than me' - but given the fact that we're dealing with people who've spent two months pooping on tv, being humiliated for our enjoyment, and making their friends & families ashamed to claim them, most hamsters are eliminated from this category when they complete their BB application
Played like I wouldThe big daddy for feedsters who haven't caught on that everyone's different and everyone does different things for different reasons.. it's the most popular judging criteria and the dumbest: they aren't you, and until you're in there for two months of paranoia, daily slander, and Diary messing up your better judgment, you can't possibly know what you'd do in there.. get over it
Backstabbing revenge
One of the elimination categories, this one's about rooting for anyone except the player who took out your favorite (or yourself, if on the jury).. this one usually decides the winner.. in gamespeak it's also known as 'nothing personal'
Creeped me out
Another elimination category and a big one some seasons, this is rooting for anyone except the player who gives you the willies or reminds you of your ex.. more popular among feedsters than the jury, which is odd: they're the ones who lived with the creepies - we can shut 'em off.. note that our three possibles are the three who dropped their feet scrapings into the hot tub the other night, so feel free to cite this one if you need an excuse to abstain from voting
I just like him/herHands-down easiest method because it requires no reasons or explanations, making it the best category to avoid involvement in flame wars
Deserves to win
This really means you don't know or don't care and are probably just afraid of getting involved in a flame war.. back it up with something or shift over to 'I just like him/her'
Most entertaining
A personal favorite, but this season we didn't have many fun hamsters at all.. Jordan would probably be the favorite here since Diary Kevin rarely appeared on the feeds.. anyway, let's face it: the ones that entertain us the most are usually the ones that drive them nuts inside - there's probably a connection
Played with integrity
This is a nice pipe dream for optimists and romantics, but not much more: in reality tv, the good tend to die young
I hate them all equally
Most feedsters end up here sooner or later
Back to our story
They got a delivery of kiddie toys, and Kevin decided to go croquet chic in his quest for fabulosity outside of the Diary Room.. okay, I tell a lie: he probably did this absent-mindedly, and if he ever sees this cap, he'll say it's a chopNatalie made a big deal of preparing dinner, in an attempt to duplicate Michele's chicken parmesan with spaghetti.. apparently it turned out okay: Jordan had enough to feed a football team.. Kevin kept trying to talk nice and Natalie kept being Natalie.. they had a hammock chat about religion that was almost interesting
Sorry, that's all I got today.. they didn't make "The Soup" tonight, but it was a great episode
Overnight update: Jordan & Kevin helped Natalie go through dozens of outfits to decide what to wear for the finale, both her own and their new stuff.. it was kind of fun and she looks cute as a girl.. we haven't had female finalists to cycle through their finale wardrobe choices for a very long time, and Kevin added a nice touch somewhere between consultant and confusion over the girly details.. we'll probably get this again with Jordan, who will likely take as long to decide since she's so self-conscious about her new pounds

Daily Ratings - What's for Dessert? edition
Ratings are based on entertainment value
  
We're used to them getting toys from the kiddie aisle and dominoes sounded like it could be fun or torture depending on your outlook, since Natalie could have a whole new arena for 'You took your hand off!'/'I didn't take my hand off!' Croquet also sounded fun - again, Natalie would do a lot of that 'knock your ball out' strategy - but they didn't play it. Actually croquet would have been fun six or eight weeks ago, but no, it arrived late. The crowning touch though was the Precious Plate brand paint-a-plate kits. Not only did three of them get two plates to paint, but the box showed an example of the possibilities: presumably done by a 6-year-old, it said 'Mommy and Daddy - I Love You'. Considering we have one whose parents disowned him, one whose dad ran off with the mortgage money, and one whose mom walked out at an early age, that was just cruel. |

Team PopularWon: $1,726 WON PART 2 We all know she's put on a couple pounds in there and that she loves her cookie dough, but while I'm the first to say she's far from fat, I was shocked at the amount of food she piled on her plate and put away. She piled up enough spaghetti and chicken parmesan for a quarterback, and had another plate of something else that was piled as high. After dinner she said 'I'm about to pop' and I kept waiting for it to happen. |
 
Team OffbeatWon: $10,626 WON PART 1 He's grilling Natalie a bit more often about a bit more stuff, but disappointment rippled among the 20 people still watching feeds when he told her he still doesn't believe she's 18, but that they 'can talk about it after the show'. Boo! We want it now! He's thoroughly aware now of making a good impression on viewers, both for the popularity prize as well as the all-important 7th jury vote, and keeps striving to put his best foot forward. Out here in the real world, we call that 'too little, too late'. |
 
Team JockWon: $1,904, Phone call She's also aware of the popularity prize and the public jury vote but she doesn't seem to care much, since she continues trashing Michele, hyping up herself, and wearing the same clothes for days on end. During religious chat with Kevin, she was shocked to learn Jehovah's Witnesses don't do birthdays or holidays, and when she tried to convince Kevin to try church again, she was less than persuasive, providing zero arguments to back up her point of view. She might have a rosy future in used car sales or politics but she shouldn't set her sights on evangelism. |
    Team Brain Won: $2,563, Plasma TV Our first PhD turned out to have a faulty memory that inspired some fights & comedy, but didn't help her any. She was hated & bashed by the others for no real reason, and they obsessed about her 'crazy' and night terrors that few feedsters heard. She was awkward & stuttery, with the worst case of mirror-face we've seen since BB5/7 Jase. She was on slop four weeks without complaint, got beat up in comps, and was kinkier than most expected. She was also likable, looked great on paper, and a dork to root for. |
   Team Jock Won: $3,181, Hawaii trip His quick wit & funny banter were a surprise, and he was a heartthrob for many. His showmance with Jordan was cute without being sappy, and his culinary skills kept them well fed and scored a BBQ Smackdown ½ point against the grill. Viewers gave him Cabat Cadoo to get Jessie gone, but he refused to count jury votes and fell for a NataLIE. He was funniest early when he couldn't win, and joked about living 'in the projects'. He didn't have much game, but is easily Hamsterwatch Co-Star of the Season. |
   Team Jock Won: $10,000, Massage He had a surprising number of fights although some were fake and we saw him plan the biggest one with Chima, and he had a surprising number of looks considering he had no hair. He played an unusual game that often defied all logic but he was often funny and one of the few to talk to us. He's also one of few to bond with others by actually listening and not turning the topic back to himself. The night he literally rolled on the floor laughing over a fart was one of the funniest of the season. |
   Team Offbeat Won: Plasma TV, Captain Unitard She gave HJs & a condom event for safety, then seemed to really be crushing on Jessie - against all odds. She whined, fake-cried & babytalked too much, was volatile, and the only creative one, making an amazing trashbag suit and Play-doh creations. She shlurred her screams about her catsuit costume but later wore it without complaint, and well. She may have been a damage control exit due to Mills-McCartney Nannygate but we'll never know for sure. |
   Team Brain Won: Nothing She began as a sympathetic character with her horrific story and positive outlook about it, and then things got weird. She flirted with Russell, planned a fake fight with him that happened exactly as scripted, and then they appeared to be mortal enemies. She had a raging and ultimately fatal case of HOH-itis and her hard fall from that was on live TV. With her subsequent nom she got petty, bitter & rebellious, and then she vanished. But she's a strong, smart woman and she'll survive this too. |
   Team Jock Won: $2,500 He showed up again uninvited and pretty much killed the feeds for those who were glad to see him leave last year. This time he had a new chin, only talked about himself again, got pink toenails, lost weight, mangled more words, got (at least) four HJs and one condom event with Lydia, all while playing he was Natalie's BFF. He went on Hamsterwatch ignore early during this second stint, and once again got his empty wheel before his time, so I don't have much more to say except hallelujah, he's gone! |
   Team Brain Won: Nothing He looked great on paper but his BB expertise was more stats & CBS versions than anything practical - he obviously missed the start of BB10 or he wouldn't have duplicated Brian's suicidal game. He played a dirty game that included a Michele smear campaign, but Natalie did most of the dirty work he took credit for. He exiled himself a couple times, didn't share his HOH camera, talked non-stop (usually about himself), and generated more hate around the BB interwebs than most. |
   Team Offbeat - Won: 1 week banana gig Videos of him & Jessie together surfaced early and their covert partnership ran the house for two weeks, but that deal expired after the Ronnie Mutiny was forgotten and Casey was blamed for Natalie's hinky vote. His quick wit provided memorable one-liners on a daily basis, and they only got better from both Angry Banana and Sad Banana. He came in like an aging Mike Boogie but he got past that, earning lots of fans thanks to his humor, his laid back style, and his ability to not take it all so seriously. |
   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. |
