I don't care who wins, I'm just here for the cheap entertainment.. the cheaper, the better
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.

RATINGS WATCH
Tuesday's finale dropped to third place with a 4.9 rating and 8 share, behind 'Fringe' on Fox with 8.2/13, and 'The Biggest Loser' on NBC with 5.3/8.
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
FAQ
The winner once again received $500k, and second place got $50k. The weekly stipend for the others remained $750, including sequester weeks.

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 got $20k if successful and not discovered. The previously-announced 4th task evaporated. Apparently all the 'Dan is America's Player' suspicions did not invalidate him.

Let us rehash
Well, not us: it's how they started their day, ad nauseum.. April, Keesha & Libra replayed last night's fights before & during the veto comp, and all made up again - we'll see how long it lasts this time.. Ollie & Dan each made short guest appearancesDan may not quite get the AP thing yet, as he said he told Jessie that he'll vote "with the house" this week.. maybe he's just covering bases, or maybe he figures a hinky vote couldn't hurt anything: after all, he seems to have gotten away with the one vote that's bucked the season's unanimous trend so far.. suspicions about him continue in HOH since he goes up there "to go potty" so often, and they've escalated to where his sore shoulder, Swim Club rules announcements, and most everything he's said or done have been AP tasks, including that he "invented" his girlfriend Monica
April seems to have Diary confused with CBS and/or us, continually referring to both their questions & her answers in there as "America asked me.." and "I told America.." - umm, okay.. Michelle's catsuit is in place but she's not very happy overall.. Jerry snapped "That's MY slop!" at her over breakfast prep.. maybe he doesn't realize it comes in 7 pound tubs, and they generally keep a few around
Honeymoon's over?
April laid into Ollie before dinner, with a vengeance.. it started over alliances and Jessie, but quickly turned personalApril: Sit in my position for one day, Ollie, one fucking day! I've been through so much in this fucking game - you wouldn't be able to handle it!
April: No matter how it went down, it wouldn't have been fucking perfect enough for you
April: How about you just tell us exactly how you want us to handle it next time, then we'll just come to you and handle it exactly the way you want, Ollie, 'cause we surely don't want to hurt your feelings!
....
Ollie: Maybe I need to throw a couple pots & pans around the kitchen so people think I'm normal
....
Ollie: It's not my job to figure out where your all heads are at - it's my job to figure out how to advance in the game
....
April: Oh, because I cause drama?
Ollie: No, I didn't say that!
April: I can read your fucking mind, you motherfucker
Ollie: That's not where I was going, I promise you [laughs]
April: Yes, you were
....
April: Just because you're fucking emotionless doesn't mean everybody in this house is!
....
April: It's called trust - especially with me
April: I can see why you've never been in a real relationship
....
Ollie: What should I do then?
April: I've got enough problems in my life - I don't need to work out yours
She skipped dinner, citing a bad tummy, but replayed for Keesha & Libra afterwards.. she put enough spin on it that she could get a job editing this thing for CBS.. by the time she was done, she was saying it was Ollie attacking her, and it was mostly all about him being too emotional.. meanwhile Ollie relayed a bit of it to Dan, saying "she's just more confrontational.. she looks on things differently than I"
Enforced catsuit stylings
Michelle said a few times that Diary wants her to style her catsuit into a swimsuit "like Jen".. Libra thought she figured out how to do it, but apparently she didn't watch BB8 either - either way, she doesn't want to or doesn't know how to show Michelle
I don't think it's right for them to try to recreate former hamster personalities along with all the recycled gimmicks.. I think Michelle's doing just fine with it: the poodle harness was inspired

It's BB10: not BB8 and not BB9. Jen's not there and Sheila's not there, and they need to let Michelle wear the damn thing however she wants! Also, they should let her know she can wash the thing just like they let Jen & Sheila know. Come to think of it, Sheila didn't even wear hers half the time. |
  
HEAD OF HOUSEHOLDCautionary ups as her victimized princess act is getting old fast, but wow did she put on another show today when she attacked Ollie for.. nothing? She started with an agenda but strayed from it quickly, preferring to stomp her foot about her horrible time as HOH, attacking him, and then escalating when he wouldn't fight back. Then she turned the tables completely when she retold it all to her girls, and then strutted around in the community apron with her boobies spilling out. This girl is quite a piece of work. She seemed positively baffled when Ollie returned to her later as if nothing had happened, and she even went into semi-shutdown mode when he inadvertently touched some nerves about her own about intimacy issues. |
  
AMERICA'S TEMP PLAYERHe seems like a nice guy - too nice maybe. He's goody two-shoes routine is getting real old, and his 'I didn't sign up for this!' protests fall as flat as those who complain about slop, paranoia, catsuits, mean people, drunks in the night, Diary persuasion, and etc etc etc. Everyone knew all this except the 13 dweebs in there, and they need to suck it up or go home. But an's Swim Club keeps him at neutral today, since Renny & Ollie are so tickled with their accomplishments. |
 
HOLDS VETOGeronimo! |
  
NOMINATEDHe's still there, still haranguing, and I'm still ignoring. |
 
She seems to be covering her rear, front, sides and diagonals lately, but when she's not screaming & cussing, she's back to being kind of annoying. Today we added to the ever-growing Keesha Knowledge Base that she once had sex in a tanning bed while an employee of the tanning salon, and she's changed her celebrity makeout story to he tried to make out with her but she turned her head, and she went off with a famous runway model instead. |
 
She's not really doing it for me either, and I don't need to hear about how horny she is anymore than I need to hear about that from the rest of them. |
 
Won: Classic CamaroNOMINATED He's becoming quite the get-around guy, to the point of hanging in the tie-dye room with the girls for awhile, on top of cozying up with Keesha here & there like always. But fun- and watching-wise, he's a shadow of his former self. We did finally find out the name he called Jerry that he'd never been called before, and that caused such an uproar: 'motherfucker'. |
 
I can't listen to her much as she's always with 'him' but she seems to be adapting to her assigned wardrobe better than it was looking like she would. Ups are to counter the unbelievable directions from Diary that she needs to fashion a catsuit swimsuit like BB8 Jen: I hope she continues wearing the poodle instead, out of spite. If we can dump the dead weight once and for all, I think she'll become a lot more watchable than the other girls, and it'll be fun to watch them fume when Michelle gets the attention on the next live show, and even more so when Craig Ferguson shines the spotlight on her this week like you know he will. |
 
He was extremely proud of swimming a couple pool lengths on his own - as he should be - and then he topped that by letting April rant & rave at him in a really vicious way, and he barely batting an eye. He seems genuine in every way, including his feelings for her (despite her challenging him about that, and her overall shrew-ness). He's becoming one of the only ones worthy of rooting for. |
 
She's holding her own, entertaining the drunks at their first Showtime hot tub party (well, hot tub foot-dipping anyway), and I think she's still got her eye on everything she needs to keep it on. She might not be fully aware of how busy Jessie's been, but I have a feeling she doesn't much care whether he or Memphis Bob exits next. Kudos to her as well as Ollie for their excellent swimming progress and for swimming a couple lengths of the pool today! |
   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. |
