The veto winner is immune from going up.
Ah, thank you! Now last night makes so much more sense! Did they say that during the show and I just missed it? I really don’t remember hearing that.
I don’t think they did, but it’s been that way for quite a few seasons now, so maybe they just assume people know at this point.
The Jordan/Kelly Pickler comparison is perfect! I knew she reminded me of someone.
Yeah, Jordan and Jeff are about the only ones left that I like. Maybe Michelle, but she’s a little squirrely. I don’t hate Casey, but that white rapper persona bugs me.
One of these underdogs needs to win HOH this week and target Jessie.
Agreed. Though, they may try to bring him back to the house if he is eliminated, something tells me the producers really want him to win (that was a conspiracy theory laid out earlier in this thread, right?)…
Didn’t they mention that there was something that was going to change the game announced Thursday? Any wild guesses? I’m thinking shaking up the groups, or double elimination.
What can they do to really surprise us now?
I’m guessing they’re just going to announce the end of the cliques. Big Brother hasn’t had an actual TWIST since DNA.
I agree, the twist is the end of the cliques. By sheer design, the “clique twist” has a very short shelf life.
The “popular” clique would be gone tonight if Jordan is evicted. (I guess they really weren’t that popular.)
Everything is pointing towards a Casey is eviction so I guess Jordan is toast.
It’s funny…I adore Jordan. But both this week and last week, I was kind of hoping the other person would stay, because Laura and Casey are halfway decent players of this game and they both want/ed Jessie out. I’d rather see Casey stay and REALLY get down to spearheading the opposition to Jessie/Natalie/Ronnie than have Jordan stay and just kind of play cheerleader for other people trying to get those three out.
Okay, I confess, I’m totally hooked. Never having seen the show before in my life, I checked out BBAD on Showtime2 a couple weeks back to see if there were nekid chicks. The camera happend to be on Jordan and Laura lying in bed together, and I was transfixed. I watched a little here and there, and then got totally engrossed in the showmance between Jeff and Jordon. She could lose 20 pounds, he could use a nose job, but my god they make the cutest couple ever. I then went back and torrented the first four episodes I had missed. So embarassing.
Someone mentioned Jordon squeezing her boobs all the time. That’s part of her post-boob job therapy.
I’m so hoping tonight’s twist is that the one not voted out automatically becomes HoH. I desperately want Jordon to win HoH but I don’t see any way that’s going to happen, especially with the golf/lacross/jai-alai thingies they’ve been practicing with since yesterday. Jeff winning would be almost as good, but he’ll put up Ronnie and Michelle or Chima right away, and half the house will take Ronnie down if they win PoV. That means Michelle or Chima goes home, which isn’t really a huge help to J&J. Unless, of course, the twist is to end the stupid cliques.
What the fuck is up with production? There is almost no Jeff and Jordon on the network epsiodes; it’s almost all Jesse and his harem all the time. Even the AfterDark feeds focus mostly on Jesse, not on J&J. Don’t they realize what the public is going to naturally gravitate toward?
Unless it’s all rigged for Jesse to win. You have to admit that the first challenge was a mortal lock for any small (light) in-shape woman to win. No way was anyone going to beat Natalie hanging in the diaper, meaning Jesse was guaranteed to be HoH week 1. Combine that with this being his second season, and of course everyone will kiss his ass, giving him a week to hand-pick any alliance he wanted. Way to poison the well, producers.
Ellis, you will learn to curse the name of Allison Grodner (the exec producer). Her partiality to Jessie this season is so blatant it’s almost obscene. I’m more than half-convinced that they came up with bringing back Jessie first and then got the idea of the cliques to guarantee him some amount of immunity to being tossed out early.
And just one bit of advice: Spoiler any information you get from BBAD or live feed reporting sites like Jokers, Morty’s or Survivor Sucks, at least until that information comes out in an actual broadcast episode.
Ellis, It’s funny that you mentioned Jordan could lose 20 pounds. When the camera is just on her face you don’t really see it, but she is deceptively thick in places you wouldn’t suspect from her face. (For the record, I’m not saying she needs to lose weight… she looks fine to me and I’m no one to talk.)
The funny thing is that Jordon has been gaining weight on the show. When she and Laura were on slop, Laura ended up looking like a concentration camp survivor (with giant flotation devices attached) because she couldn’t eat the stuff. Her arms got rail-thin in a gross, hollywood actress kind of way. Meanwhile, Jordon actually gained weight. She even complained/laughed about that one night to Jeff while the two were cuddling. “I even gained weight on slop!” (So cute. Those two are so painfully cute.)
Watching the live feeds is fascinating. I tend to fast forward through the bits with Ronnie, Jesse, Natalie and/or Chima, so it ends up being only around an hour or hour and a half to watch the whole thing. For me, getting the “behind the scenes” look is riveting. One funny thing is that typically the HGs are bored and lying around but at least having fun shooting the shit. Jesse immediately and completely sucks the fun out of every room he walks into. And it’s not anything he actively does; it’s just him. He’s a walking cloud of suck.
As for Ronnie, I can’t listen to him for more than 5 seconds without having an uncontrollable urge to stuff him in a locker. To quote Jordon from a couple days ago: “Oh my god, Ronnie, shut the FUCK UP!” (Said to Jeff while they were in the hammock as Ronnie ran his mouth over on the couches.)
Speaking of which, does anyone have the live feeds and able to capture it to a file? If so, I have a request to capture a specific date and time from a couple days ago.
Okay, I’m gonna be very sporadic this season, I can tell, but I am watching tonight.
Why is overaged rapper boy dressed like a banana?
The last veto challenge had a “pig in a poke” aspect…you could decide to take an envelope that would either increase your final score, decrease your final score or give a surprise. Casey got “banana suit”.
How delightfully random!
Thanks.
Last night’s AD feed was interesting from start to finish. I’ll recap from memory real quick, meaning I won’t bother correcting for formatting, spelling or length. So this will be very long and stream-of-consciousness. Note that I slept since I saw it, so my memory may be a little hazy.
This contains actual, honest to god spoilers right from the first sentence.[spoiler]Open on Russell and Jeff still on the challenge, 3 hours since live show went off air. Jeff is asking if Russell wants to do rock paper scissors to decide it since otherwise they’ll be there all night. Michelle walks out, Jeff tells her to go inside so they (he and Russell) can talk. Russell declines deal, challenge continues. Giant diploma has been ripped to shreds; more chunks coming off when they hit it hard.
10 minutes later, Jeff offers RPS again, Russell declines. Jordon comes out and yell they should play it out. Jeff gets annoyed: “YOU fucking play it out.” (lol) Jordon goes back inside. Challenge continues. Everyone comes out. Russell admits to pissing himself, says shitting himself is coming soon. Group (Natalie?) asks Jeff if he pissed yet, Jeff says no.
10 minutes later, again Jeff offers deal. He’s been looking bad this whole time, struggling to stay on while Russell has been making it look effortless. Russell says he has to get HoH to hear from his dad, who had surgery just before Russell left for the game. He needs to know how his dad is doing so he’ll stay here all night. Jeff says fuck it, if I drop will you guarantee me not to go up this week? Russell says yeah, and Jordon too. Jeff says I’m out and drops off. Russell hanging there, calls to production: “So did I win?” No answer.
After Jeff staggers off the playing area, Russell calls for him to come back and help him; his shorts are wrapped around the rope and he physically cannot get down. Jeff: “Dude, I can barely walk.” Jeff sort of helps as Russell slips his upper body to the ground, shorts still caught on the seat. Russell: “A little help?” (lol) Jeff gets him down and walks directly to the shower inside where he stays for over a half hour.
Russell laying on ground for minutes, not moving. Production never comes out. Jesse checks on him, tries to get him up. Russell gets up, limping severely. Jess offer to carry him, Russell says “I got it” and hobbles gamely inside, sits down at kitchen table and shivers violently for 10 minutes. HGs worry quietly, try to wrap him in towels.
Jordon called to DR, then comes out and tries to gather everyone. Jeff still in shower, Russell still at kitchen table looking miserable. Jordon says she’ll pick names for the Have Nots out of a hat since she’s a Have. (She apparently picked a “you are a Have and you decide the Have Nots this week” prize after being one of first five out and picking a numbered item.) Group asks who is in the hat. Jordon: “Everyone but Russell and the Brains, since they were on slop last week.” Jordon pulls Natalie, then Kevin, then Jeff. Face goes bright crimson read as soon as she reads Jeff’s name. Whole group (inlcuding Jesse quite clearly) says “No way, you can’t put Jeff on slop.” (Jeff still in shower.) Jordon: “Really?” (Bright, bright red.) Group: “No, draw again.” Jordon draws Jesse. (Face even brighter red. Poor Jordon may crack any second.) Jesse grousing, Lydia offers to take his spot, Kevin tells her no, Jesse plays the martyr and accepts slop.
Russell ambles his way to bathroom couch, he and Jeff commiserate about how sore they are. Jeff looking a million times better off than Russell. (Note: Jeff would have easily won had Russell not been so stoic during challenge. Russell’s surgically repaired knee is now basically useless and he had been having migraines from concussion he got a couple days ago; he’s an absolute wreck. Jeff is just sore.)
Jesse walks in, tells Jeff he was picked for slop. Jeff: “She told me who was on slop.” jesse: “She drew your name, then drew me to take your place.” Jeff: “She drew my name?” Jesse: “Yeah. You owe me three.” Jeff: “Three? What was the first two? (Annoyed.) Let’s talk tomorrow.” Jesse goes to red room with Natalie, complaining about being on slop. Camera stays on them for 20 minutes, Jesse complaining whole time. (Note: Jesse has a legitimate gripe that he was unable to compete for food since as hoH he couldn’t compete in this challenge so he never had a chance to be HoH or to draw the “you decide the have nots” prize.) jesse complains on and on and on as various people come and go from the conversation. Kevin comes in, awkwardly explains he told Lydia not to take Jesse’s plac on slop, walks out, Jesse calls him a douche multiple times to Natalie. Ronnie comes in, they wonder about teh deal between Jeff and Russell. Apparanetly Chima heard the deal, it was just to save Jeff and Jordon. Jesse complains “nothing about Jeff not having to be on slop. That’s bullshit.” (Jesse is really coming across like a major whiny bitch at this point.)
Jordon calls everyone in to kitchen to make official Have Not announcement, says it starts right now. Stunned disbelief from Natalie: “That’s bullshit. We better come off a day early; that’s not fair!” Kevin stays quiet, (he’s on slop too,) but Natalie and Jesse are pissed and complaining. Jordon looks like she wants to curl up and die. Jesse and Natalie back to red room, Natalie complaining on and on and on about how unfair it is to have slop an extra day. Both complain about having no competition the next day. Jesse complains about being screwed by being on slop. Pissed that Jordon didn’t put the Brains in the hat. Pissed that he is on slop instead of Jeff. Pissed that Kevin told Lydia not to take his place. Natalie pissed that she couldn’t wear her garbage bag outfit during challenge because in the DR they told her it would be unfair. She’s obsessed with this fairness hypocrisy. Both are pissed and complain for the next half hour.
Russell in DR to get his knee checked. Jordon and Jeff in kitchen, both on edge and half-snapping at each other. Michelle there too, talking about how she exposed her vag in the challeneg despite wearing pants, shorts and underwear. Most clothes she’s ever worn and still she showed her va-jay-jay. Jordon says the rope was pressed against her vagina so she kept moving back and forth and worried that production thought she was getting off on it.
All HGs in various rooms talking/laughing about everyone throwing up. Apparently everyone threw up multiple times except Jeff and Russell. Everyone in awe of their performance, as well as Michelle who (despite throwing up) stayed on for several hours, being last one out before Russell and Jeff. Camera going back and forth between all these conversations and the bubble room, where Jesse and Natalie continue to complain about same things. Eventually they fall asleep. BB repeatedly tells them they can only sleep in bedrooms.
Jeff and Jordon in bed, Jordon rubbing Jeff’s back. Camera back to Jesse and Natalie complaining. Eventually back to Jeff and Jordon, Jeff pissed that Jordon put his name in the hat. “I told you to take my name out.” Jordon: “I was just trying to put everyone equal.” Jeff tries to explain that she shouldn’t view him the same way she views everyone else. Jordon doesn’t really understand, half pissed half miserable. Back to Jesse AGAIN.
Jeff and Jordon goofing around, Jeff giving Jordon mock kisses on the cheek, tickling, laughing. Eventually they start spooning. (Aw.) Russell comes out of DR and asks who wants to see his HoH. All go up, Russell reads letters from home, last one is from Dad who writes that he’s doing great and his health is getting better each day post-surgery. Russell red-faced, almost tearing up, feed cuts out for the night.[/spoiler]I can’t begin to describe how annoying it was with all the camera time for Jesse, Natalie and Ronnie. Amazingly enough I skipped a ton of their screen time in the above writeup. Jeff and Jordon were clearly the story last night and they got maybe 30 minutes of screen time. Jesse complaining got over twice that all by himself; triple if you include Natalie.
I’m guessing nobody cares, but if anyone was dying to know what happened after the network broadcast ended, I think the above will fully satisfy your curiosity.
Thanks! I’m always curious what goes on off the TV feed.
EllisDee: If you are really hooked on Big Brother, there are internet sites that recap nearly everything that goes on in the Big Brother house 24/7. They subscribe to the live feeds and obsessively watch it. Sometimes, it is an interesting read, most of the time it is tiresome.
since I don;t want to give a URL directly, you can google “hamstertime” and the top link should get to one of the sites.
I thought all that bad blood between Russell and Ronnie was supposed to be a ruse. What happened?
Still, I’m not surprised. I knew it was only a matter of time before the athletes turned on Ronnie.
I do think it would be pretty funny if Ronnie ended up winning the secret power, took himself off the block and put Jordan and Jeff up.
I would stop watching. Forever.
