![]() ![]() POWER STATUS Dan won Part 1 Ian won Part 2 Have-nots & HOH room are over ![]() BB14 DRINKING GAME Take a swig whenever someone says 'mist' If you're on the wagon, try this Healthy alternative by @Staciedertinger ![]() ![]() Get the Big Brother Buddy mobile app! Available for Android or iPhone/iPad ![]() ![]() BIG BROTHER PAST SEASONS Amazon DVDs BB4 - BB3 Amazon Instant View BB14 BB12 iTunes BB14 BB10 ![]() BB14 FAQ If you have SuperPass, access mobile feeds by going to real.com/bigbrother on your mobile device's browser. Log in (upper right), select Big Brother, and select Live Feeds from the drop menu. There is no app. The BB14 untwist resulted in no eviction, and all coaches entering the game. Boogie was the only one who didn't vote to enter. If all had said no, there would have been a hamster revival. Willie was ejected for head-butting Joe. Threats & verbal attacks are legal - aggressive physical contact is not. They're calling pre-show sequester 'convention' or 'knitting convention', and they're calling Diary 'the wizard' or 'dairy queen'. Ashley revealed they wear earpieces for nominations, at least early on. CBS shows are Sundays and Wednesdays at 8pm, and live eviction Thursdays at 9pm. Big Brother After Dark airs midnight to 3am nightly (1am to 4am Thursdays) on Showtime (SHO2) in USA, and on Slice in Canada at various times - check your local listings. BB14 prizes are the same: $500k for the winner and $50k for 2nd place. The others still earn $750 a week including pre-show hotel and jury sequester. Kara and Jenn may have gotten more. The coach of the winner would have gotten $100k without the untwist. Returning veterans got $20k to show up, and/or a higher stipend after the untwist. The habitat has 53 cameras (up one) and 98 microphones (up three). The recorded in-house announcements are the voice of producer Don Wollman. All feeds stay on one 'scene' when someone's in Diary. The Glass House premiered June 18 on ABC and ran for 10 episodes. The winner got $250,000 - half the usual BB winning amount. The glass hamsters went into hotel sequester on weekends. Big Brother Canada premieres February 2013. ![]() Get Team USA Olympics gear Use code USABDAY for free shipping on orders over $50 ![]() |

>> previous Hamsterwatch episode >> next episode >> bb14 directory >> permalink this page: http://www.hamsterwatch.com/bb14/091412.shtml ALL AMAZON.COM PURCHASES MADE THROUGH THIS LINK HELP SUPPORT THIS SITE Justice, BB style (Saturday 9/15)![]() Aren't we glad the courts system doesn't operate this way? I really think BB should use a different word for it - this is not how juries work.. but this isn't real life, it's just a TV show, it's "just a game" - but I figure half a million dollars is serious business any way you look at.. I also miss the days when all seven of them deliberated and questioned the two finalists.. while only two hamsters ratting around made for dull final days on feeds, their angry fallout after jury Q&A was always one of the highlights of the season ![]() Meanwhile, they were surprised by a Diary call or two - maybe the editors had to fill in some gaps based on topics the jury discussed that they'd previously overlooked.. they got a delivery of In-n-Out burgers, and some new games ![]() Aftermath![]() Danielle came out of Diary and went right to bed, seriously crying for a long time and perhaps dosed.. maybe she figured out in there with or without their help that the fake fight plan was not in her best interests after all and/or that she is now seriously facing a good chance at the dreaded third place finish - she literally cried herself to sleep.. Dan turned in after a few rounds of joy with Ian, but Ian waited up.. he finally got back to his hammock around 1.35am, and as the hammock revved up a new repertoire, he started to spill all the mutterings he's had to keep bottled up for days.. he seems fairly confident of winning $50k now.. The Powers That Be threw us a very nice bone by adding a dedicated rear-view hammock cam, complete with Ian's view of the yard - he saw most of the season from that vantage point ![]() What it takes![]() I started this site July 27, 2004 for Big Brother 5, mostly to amuse myself, and because there wasn't a day-by-day recap site among the fledgling BB interwebs at the time.. the site has always been about the feeds, with a sprinkling of highlighting CBS discrepancies and busting production for sleazy maneuvers - yes, their sleazy is nothing new.. at first, I was both more and less thorough: I used more caps, more convos, and often more words per page (some days had two-page episodes), but at first it was less a narrative of what happened on a given day, and more reactions about it.. Hamsterwatch was always meant to be a supplement for the feeds, and a place for me to spout a few opinions and analysis of how I saw things The site took off during Big Brother 6 and 7 and became rather popular.. I started using Twitter for Big Brother 8 (I was the first BB site to do so), although I actually stopped posting daily episodes about halfway thru that season.. I've covered every season since in full - well, I say in full: I gradually started using Twitter and Twitpic more and more to flesh out what my site covered, since they're real-time and I usually finalize my page at the end of the night.. I know that most of you read me over morning coffee, so that worked out well ![]() I only post what I consider are good screencaps, and I tweak them all to boost brightness/contrast if needed, and to watermark them - people do steal them, and there is an art to it, as any good capper will tell you.. I sort all my Twitpics by day (as Twitpic "events") for later use/reference, and I resize the ones I use on the site.. I post caps on Twitter and Facebook throughout the day & night plus whatever's going on, quotes, and so forth, and I try to answer as many questions as I can in both places - and I get a lot! I'm always on the hunt for Links of the Day, and have run some fabulous ones involving a lot of hard work and creativity by some very special people, along with some utterly hilarious items, news about former hamsters, etc I try to write sections for the site as I go through a day but it's often midnight before I get started, especially on a busy day or early in the season.. I usually just focus on incidents that strike my fancy but of course I have to include basic game moves as we go too.. I refer to notes I've taken through the day and try to build a narrative that's informative and entertaining, while always reminding myself that it's not my job to watch the feeds for those who won't buy them - I've fallen into that trap more than once, and always kick myself when I do ![]() So combine all that, and somehow it fills 16 to 20 hours a day when Big Brother is underway, including the week or two before each season's CBS premiere.. of course I enjoy some time spent in conversations on Twitter or in my chatroom, but I'm usually multi-tasking and always listening to the feeds.. that's ten seasons of no days off and not going anywhere all summer (plus one winter/spring season), not doing anything, not reading or even watching any tv or movies - yes, I realize that's utterly pathetic.. it's also exhausting, and that's why I get a bit stabby when some people think I want to hear about how much they hate this or that hamster, why I shouldn't like the ones I like, and assorted other inanities This site's been hacked offline multiple times, I've been trashed on a couple other BB sites, I've had a cat, two computers, a car, and a stepmother die during BB (err yes, those are listed in order of personal importance, sorry), and one year I lived at my dad's kitchen table to do it all while I was looking after him during an illness - and no, he never did understand what it was about lol! ![]() I don't clamor for interviews or suck up to the hamsters when they get out, and I don't attend their events since I have to get back to work ASAP to start trying to make up some of the income I lose by doing this.. I do it because I can feel like a writer a few months a year, I think I combine the various aspects well, and I do it for you guys: I'm ever grateful to Hamsterwatchers and regular readers for visiting and reading, especially those who have let me know they got a chuckle or perhaps a different perspective on something here or there.. you guys rock, and I'd never have lasted this long without you! ![]() Zombies (Friday 9/14)![]() This happened once at the UK Big Brother house and it was a mess.. even Davina McCall, their former version of Julie, succumbed.. apologies to the squeamish for her pic but I figure most of the squeamish have long since moved on Actually this is not true and I hate that I have to say that, but that's what it's come to.. however, UK television did make a fictional miniseries using the superb premise of a zombie apocalypse revolving around Big Brother - see Links of the Day below to watch it ![]() Nighttime brought many rounds of Dan Q&A, Dan throwing things off the balcony, Dan boxing up his competition, and Ian getting TPd.. I expect they'll play Part 2 tomorrow, and then the negotiations and whispery assassination plans will really get fierce.. Dan & Danielle are planning a fake Dan/Ian celebration and Danielle angry scene if Ian wins Part 2 ![]() Ratings - No editionRatings will return before we're done - really, there's nothing to say right now![]() |

NEWS & UPDATESAlong with your $1 text votes and the ability to increase ad rates across CBS.com due to increased traffic from your free online votes, CBS now has an extra $100k that was previously announced as the winning coach's prize. PLEASE STOP VOTING ON THEIR POINTLESS POLLS. Don't even get me started on their idiotic Flock to Unlock traffic and Twitter spam generator.Producers will award the $25k viewer favorite to their choice - your free online votes just up their traffic so they can charge higher advertising rates across all of CBS.com. However if you must vote on this poll, I fully endorse Ian! If Ian should make it into the Final Two, I fully endorse Jodi! She got royally screwed by BB but has been a great sport about it, and very funny and personable on Twitter. Frank is the only other fan applicant this season, but Jodi's dreams of hamsterdom were shattered before she even had a chance to start. BB Australia began August 12 and is still underway. Like UK BB and UK Celeb BB, it doesn't have feeds anymore, but see Links of the Day for quick videos of air shows and related talk shows for all of them. Evictee/ejectee Twitters are @WilHeuser, @JanellePierzina, @JoJoDoll1, @HantzBB, @KaraMonaco, @Jodisbox. Imposters are out there - these are the real ones. See my Linkage tab above or my Twitter list for more former hamster Twitters from all seasons. You can still rewatch the BB13 feeds and Flashback on SuperPass, plus they continue to generate lots of original Big Brother and other reality content. A three-month subscription is $39.99 (or $14.99 for a montly subscription) and includes Flashback, mobile for iPhone, iPad, and Android phones, and $10 worth of free music every month: sign up now If the button doesn't work, Paypal to hamster (at) neonpages (dot com) Thanks for your support! ![]()
