BB11: It's Almost Over

Tonight's the last night of the Big Brother 11 feeds, and I have mixed emotions. I'll miss staying up all night and getting up to go to work in the mornings, but these final three I won't miss. I will not miss hearing the three of them bash Michele. I will not miss Natalie threatening Kevin, nor her ignorant views on homosexuality. I will not miss Jordan playing sweetheart out one side of her mouth, and out the other the constant trashing of Russell and Michele. I will not miss Kevin talking to the camera asking for America's vote and talking about how fabulous he is.

The only excitement in the feeds the past couple of days has been the banner today and the guessing on whether they will be healthy by Tuesday. I swear ... some of the things they have been cooking and eating are enough to make anyone sick. Some of us have been wondering how Big Brother would deal with it if all three of them had diarrhea during the live show. They've been eating undercooked food, they've cooked bad fish and eaten it, and they've made the most disgusting concoctions. Ugh ...

The decision to carry all three to the finals did not make things any more exciting to me. In fact, it's made it worse. All three have been lying to each other, and then stressing that they've been lied to. Nastiness and paranoia have run rampant. Everytime it's only two of them together, you can pretty much guarantee they're trashing the third and talking about making the final 2. Hey Big Brother, can we have a do-over?

One thing is for sure. I have no idea who will be the final two. All I know is that Kevin and Jordan will battle for part 3 of the final Head of Household competition, and I don't think either will throw it. After that, I'm in the dark. I don't know what either of them are thinking. I think Jordan will take Natalie, but I'm not sure. And I think that Kevin will take Jordan, but I'm really not sure about that either. And the final vote? I think that Jordan could beat them both, especially if it's close.

Tomorrow Big Brother 11 will be officially over, but the season won't be over on Superpass. In addition to Flashback, Real has some fun things planned. Tomorrow and Wednesday, don't miss Express Lunch. Chelsia is in Los Angeles for the Finale, but Missy will be in the studio. Tuesday, she'll take questions from the chat room and Wednesday, she and Chelsia will go back to the phone in questions.

Also on Wednesday, keep checking for the clips of the interviews that Chelsia will be doing from the Big Brother backyard on Finale night. She's been taking questions via Facebook and Twitter and will ask the questions that we want to ask. And at 4pm PT, there will be the Big Brother hour. Then Chelsia will be going to Las Vegas for the big Vegas Reality Bash and Superpass will have lots of coverage.
· Live streaming from Meet and Greet at M Resort in Las Vegas , Friday from 4 to 8
· Live streaming from the pool party at M Resort, Saturday 9pm to Sunday 1 am
· Interviews from the M Party starting Wed, 9/23

And next Thursday, 9/24, SuperPass will be hosting a Live Chat from Columbia City Theater in Seattle at 6pm PT. There will be a live studio audience and two mystery guests. If you're in the Seattle area and want to be in the audience, send an email to askbigbrother@real.com.

So remember, just because the houseguests will be leaving the Big Brother 11 house, that doesn't mean that the SuperPass party is over. Stay tuned for more live chats and other fun activities. I'm looking forward to hearing from the evicted houseguests, how about you guys?

BB11: The Final Four

Hey y'all, how are you guys feeling? Are you hoarse from screaming at your television sets? Lots of people out there in Big Brother land have probably alternated between screaming and crying. From the reaction I've read, many don't expect to have a good week.

The legions of Jeff/Jordan fans seem to still be in shock from Jeff's elimination. The problem is that they are blaming everyone except Jeff. His bad play caused his eviction. His decision to go with Natalie and Kevin instead of sticking with Russell and Michele had a direct correlation to him going to the jury house. Heck, why should his fans be any different. Jeff, himself, refuses to acknowledge that it had anything to do with it.

Speaking of the Jury House. I enjoyed seeing that. I knew that Jeff and Jessie would be able to put aside game issues and get along. How funny was Jessie outting Natalie? I'd have never expected that. I can only imagine that Lydia told him something about Natalie that turned him against her. Russell definitely did not look impressed by her lie. If she makes it to F2, I wonder how that revelation will impact votes. In my calculations, I had given her Jessie and Russell's votes, but now, I don't know.

Most of the people that I talk to or chat and/or post with can't stand Natalie. It's clear to me that she's not America's Sweetheart. I may not like how she's played the game, but she's played the game. I never would have thought a strategy of lying, stealing, and planning to cheat would get anyone far. But here she is in the Final Four, and with her Head of Household win, here she is in the Final Three. She's not dumb, and she's been drilling for what, in the past, was the final Veto competition and one part of the final HoH competition. She and Kevin made a calendar with paper and playdoh and have plotted all the past competitions by name and dates. Last night she was drilling and seemed to have the information down pat. As long as the final Endurance competion doesn't involve bugs or water, she should do well in it, as well. She has a good shot at F2.

Kevin's the target of both Michele and Jordan this week, so he'll basically have to win the Veto competition to make it to F3. Don't count him out, though, as lately he's done very well. Natalie's been drilling him on names and dates, too, so he could very well pull this off. He may have floated through at the beginning of this season, but lately he's shown that he's a force to be reckoned with.

Michele is in trouble ... still. Once again, she has to win the PoV to stay in the game. I was hoping that she'd win HoH, but she made a really stupid choice on the Lydia/Jeff question. She was complaining that she couldn't really hear the questions, but she should have said something then and there. She's the target of Michele and Kevin, and who knows with Jordan. She does well in competitions, so she may pull it off. She's been using her birth control pill container as a calendar of events, so she may know her stuff.

Jordan is in the best position right now, other than Natalie, to make the Final 3. She is no one's target, and everyone thinks she's weak. She could go to F3 without winning a thing by herself. We saw Jeff give her that Head of Household and she admitted to listening for Michele's steps in the Veto competition that she won.

There you have your Big Brother 11 Final Four. Nominations should be Friday, Veto competition on Saturday maybe, and the live veto meeting and eviction on Tuesday. The final endurance challenge, part 1 of the final HoH, should also begin Tuesday. Thursday we go from 3 to 2. Wow, this thing really is almost over. What do y'all think of the Final Four? Who do you want to win? Comment below.

Update: Approx 9pm BBT - The feeds came back on and it looked like the houseguests had a luxury competition. It looks as if it were some kind of grab competition, as they each have new clothes and seem to be really pleased with them. We should see this as well as the nominations on Sunday night.

BB11: The Show(mance) must go on ...

Hey y'all. As it stands now, the showmance of Big Brother 11, Jordan and Jeff, will come to an end tonight. However, if you frequent a few Big Brother message boards or Twitter, you'll find a core group that insists that Big Brother, CBS and/or Allison Grodner will find a way to keep our love birds together. They insist that the show just can't go on without them.

In the CBS Big Brother Forum poll, 62% of those responding say that they won't watch Big Brother 11 again if Jeff gets evicted tonight. I got that tweet a couple of times today and I actually did go look for myself. What the tweets don't include, though, is the fact that only 284 people voted.

Many of them are insisting that the stupid key from Pandora's Box will miraculously save Jeff tonight. Before Tuesday's show, the key was to a new Power of Veto that would save him. I think the key was solely to free Kevin, but I seem to be in the minority. Part of this is the fault of the producers. That competition was poorly executed. It didn't help that they showed it on the show out of order. The competition actually occurred on Friday afternoon prior to the nominations. I imagine that the 'twist' was the possibility that the results would cause the Head of Household (Kevin) to change his nominations. As it was, there was no twist. The houseguests had a quasi-luxury competition for cash. Kevin pretty much missed out because his ally was greedy.

But anyway, back to our showmance. I admit that they were kind of cute in the house. Neither of them were the sharpest crayon in the box and that's what made many of their interactions so amusing. They inadvertently gave us many of the best quotes of the season. As game players, though, not so much. They spent the first three weeks being martyrs, and if it weren't for the clique twist, Jeff may have been the first one gone. Once power was handed to Jeff, though, he didn't wear it well. Yes, getting Jessie out with the Coup D'etat was a good strategic move, but then the problems started.

The bad air in the Head of Household room got to them, too. Why else would you backdoor an ally before the other team was totally defeated? Not a good game winning strategy ... just ask BB6 Howie. And the irrational hatred the two of them had for their allies was baffling. Michele had done nothing but support those two and all they can do is bash her. Mr. Wonderful even called her a smelly c-word, which is a total turn off for me.

Their belief in their new best friend Natalie will turn out to be their downfall. Instead of a Final 4, one of them will be going out at 5. They trusted their game enemies to keep their word, and totally bashed and blew off their game team members. They've continued to trash Michele this week when all she's tried to do was save Jeff. Jeff is the target and he's been trying to guilt Kevin for not keeping his word. Hmm, let me see. Kevin should feel guilty for fooling an antagonist, but Jeff has no guilt for lying to his ally, Russell. Why is it okay for Jeff to break his word on his family, but not okay for Kevin to merely break his word? That's the game, boy-o.

That sense of entitlement and superiority has kept me from jumping aboard the Jeff/Jordan luv train. They've been cute to watch on the feeds, when they haven't been playing bash and trash, but that's been about it. Take a look at the Flashback from last night around 2am and you'll be laughing as hard as I was. And if you miss them too much, take a look at the Flashback Hotspots thread and rewatch your favorite Jeff/Jordan moments, and share them below. Because it looks as if it's over, unless we have another 'twist' this evening. I tend to doubt it, but with Big Brother 11, we've been told to 'expect the unexpected'.

BB11: She Was Gonna Do What??

Hey y'all, how's it going? Today was the Power of Veto Meeting in the Big Brother 11 house. What should have been a no brainer, quick and easy ceremony looked like it would be anything but.

Earlier today, I was flabbergasted to find out that Michele was seriously considering using the veto on Jeff. Yeah, they almost had her convinced that the only way to save him would be to take him off and they would promise to vote to keep her. I admit that I was almost ready to reach through cyberspace to slap her upside her head. It's really beginning to bug me how intrusive the Diary Room people are this season. It was right after a Diary Room session that Michele brought up this stupid idea.

Yesterday, Sunday, Natalie and Jordan tried to convince Jeff to approach Michele with this plan and he refused. Then today she brings it up? Oh come on. And while yesterday I was ready to give Jeff props for refusing the idea, today he not only agreed, he showed his true colors yet again. He promised Michele that he'd vote to keep her if she did it, then turned around and told Jordan that it would be 2-0 to evict Michele. Yeah, his armor is seriously tarnished.

The feeds went to trivia for the meeting after a good little while of Michele, by herself, looking as if she were seriously considering this folly. Thankfully, it didn't take too long after the feeds came back for us to find out that she hadn't totally lost her mind. She did in fact use the veto on herself and Jordan was put up as a replacement nominee.

Tonight, the houseguests found out how much they won in the Pandora's Box non-luxury competition. They were called separately into the diary room and told their totals. Jeff won $3181, Jordan $1726, Natalie $1900, Michele $2563, and Kevin $626. They said that Kevin would have won more if he'd been unlocked sooner. No mention of any additional prize or benefit from Jeff having that key. I think it was simply to unlock Kevin, but various bloggers and tweeters have speculated everything from a car to a 'black power of veto' to a 'platinum power of veto'. The last two having something to do with Jeff being able to take himself off the block and force Kevin to put up Natalie.

At this point, however, it was simply a handcuff key. I suppose that we will find out for sure on Tuesday's show. At least that's what we've been told ... but then last Thursday they told us that we'd find out on Sunday. Anyway, what we WILL see on Tuesday will be the Power of Veto competition, which was the midnight Morphomatic, the scheming and game talk and then the PoV meeting. I'm looking forward to seeing at least the PoV competition.

So barring an unforseen manipulation, it looks like Chima's dream of an all girl F4 (she included Kevin, so I will, too) in Big Brother 11 will come to pass. Not to say that Jeff is not working it to stay. I'm just not sure which way Natalie is blowing. She's either playing Jeff or she's playing Kevin. She lies so well, I don't know who she's not lying to. She's promised Jeff that she'll vote for him to stay if he and Michele throw HoH to her, but she's promised Kevin that she'd vote Jeff out. What do you think she'll do? How do you see this playing out? Comment below.

BB11: It's the Morphomatic!

It was time for that fun Power of Veto competition. After a weird day in the Big Brother house, the houseguests had a midnight competition. The day started with some kind of Pandora's Box competition that left them paranoid for the rest of the day.

I'm still not sure of what happened there. Actually, I don't think the houseguests are sure of what happened today. Apparently they released the deadly sin greed and we're not sure what the consequences are. They each, except for Kevin, got to grab money let loose outside. Kevin opened that secret door and was handcuffed. Jeff found the key and released him. Sunday's show should be a good one. There were lots blacked out.

Big Brother really screwed with their heads today. After leaving them hanging in the aftermath of the Pandora's Box thing, then they started the Alien in the Mirror gag again. It didn't scare as many as in the past, but it did add to the paranoia. They knew they had a midnight veto competition, but they had absolutely no idea what it would be. At one point Jeff was convinced that the key he found earlier would help him win the veto.

Oh hey, in between all the craziness was the Nomination ceremony. Kevin stuck to his guns and nominated Jeff and Michele. Jeff attempted to guilt him into nominating Jordan instead, but Kevin wasn't buying it. Why Jeff would get upset with Kevin breaking his word when he did last week is beyond me. Oh, the hypocrisy.

Michele went on another crying jag, but seemed to talk herself up. I was feeling sorry for her on the one hand, but disgusted on the other. I like her sometimes, but I still don't get her. Her social skills are seriously lacking and that's really hurt her game, I think.

Then there was the PoV. The feeds were blocked for another two and a half hours and when they came back on, guess who was sporting the Veto medal? Michele! Yes, she managed to save herself. She said that she had her crying jag and then psyched herself up for the win. The tide has turned again.

Right now the plan is for Michele to take herself off and for Kevin to put Jordan up. They are all talking of booting Jeff, but there are five days until eviction and Jordan is already talking about getting people to vote her out to save Jeff.

The web should be interesting this week. The Jeff/Jordan people are already threatening mutiny, swearing to never watch Big Brother again. The ups and downs of Big Brother. They've been on a high since he won the Coup D'Etat, and now this ...

So anyway, what a busy 36 hours or so, with more to come. What do you think of what's been going on? Tell me below ...

BB11: S'more the Merrier

Hey y'all, what did you think of tonight's Head of Household competition? Other than the fact that it was also recycled, it was pretty cool, I thought. Recycled, you ask? Well yes, it was a recycle of the teacup competition from BB8.
This S'more competition was nice and messy. The houseguests had to maneuver down a graham cracker slip and slide and fill a container with hot chocolate from a cup with a hole in it. It was crazy. I think they said that it would be a total of about a four mile walk back and forth to fill up the container enough to fish out a marshmallow.
So how'd they do? When the feeds came back on, and BTW, thanks CBS for not keeping us in the dark for the entire competition this week, Kevin was in the lead. It looked like he was having the easiest time and he was trucking up and down that track. Natalie seemed to have the hardest time, although I'm not entirely convinced that she wasn't throwing the competition. Michele was in second place behind Kevin and Jordan was third.
As time went by, though, Jordan was falling further and further behind, while Kevin increased his lead. All three girls had a really hard time making it from one end to the other, and it didn't seem like Kevin was struggling at all.
After about an hour and a half, Kevin won Head of Household, although the feeds went to fish right before the end. I was hanging out in Dingo's chat and right as we said that the marshmallow looked like it was touching the top, we went to fish.
So who will Kevin nominate on Friday? Not too long after the end of the competition, he told Natalie that he was going to put up Jeff and Michele. The worst case scenario for them would be for Jordan to win the veto, but they don't think she will. There is some question as to whom they will target for eviction, but they say that they have time to discuss that after the veto competition and meeting.
And what was that about a Big Brother 11 twist? Well, we still don't know. All we know for sure is that they've locked up the Have Not room. All the houseguests seem to have moved into the Have room. Maybe tomorrow they'll reveal what's behind the door. We'll see. What do y'all think? Speculate away ...

BB11: And Then There Were Six

Hey y'all. How was that for almost a week of Big Brother in an hour? We saw Jordan win the Power of Veto competition, choose not to use it, and the house evicted Lydia 3 votes to 1. What they didn't show was how Jordan and Jeff waffled all week and make a new alliance with Kevin and Natalie.

When the show ended, the final six, minus Jordan, were competing in the next Head of Household competition. I was so mad at CBS. They gave us a brief flash of the competition in progress with Kevin seemingly in the lead, but other than that they left the trivia up. Why have Julie tell people at the end of the show to turn on their feeds, or get them, if they weren't gonna show us anything?

When the feeds finally did come back on, all of the houseguests were in the kitchen with Jordan, Natalie and Jeff feeding their faces. It seems that in addition to not being able to see the rest of the Head of Household competition, we missed what turned out to be a Food Competition. Who won, you ask?

Well, Jeff is the new Head of Household. I don't know what happened because he was not close to the lead. There was some mention of gold cans, but since we didn't get to see ... Kevin was one can behind, but was handicapped for one minute for some reason. And it looks like Michele, Kevin and Russell are on slop. Jordan didn't even play in the HoH comp and she gets to eat? Guess we'll all have to wait until Sunday to see how that played out.

The question of the moment, though, is this ... who will Jeff nominate? Will he stick to his first word and put up Natalie and Kevin, or will he stick to his second word and put up Michele and Russell? Woohoo ... we get another week of Jeff/Jordan paranoia! Yes, I rolled my eyes as I typed that.

What will this week in the Big Brother 11 house bring? Goodness only knows. Jeff will have to show his hand, though. Who do you think he will nominate? Who should he nominate? I look forward to reading your comments ...

Is It Something In the Air?

Hey y'all, I've just been sitting here shaking my head. Instead of the HoH room, Big Brother should call that room the SoS room, as in Stuck on Stupid. What is it about that room that brings out the idiot in them all. The latest to suffer from this mysterious malady are Jeff and Jordan.

I've been saying all along that they aren't that bright, and they seem determined to prove me right. What kind of idiots turn on two allies based on something said by people who have been on the opposite side the entire game? They obviously want to earn the dumb label given them at the beginning of the game.

I've said before that, although you may not like her, Natalie has been playing one heckuva game. She's earned her stripes, again, this week. She's gone from sure out, to perhaps pulling off the move of the game. Her lies have so wrapped up the couple that America seems to love, that they're about to pull off a Howie move.

What's that, you say? Well, remember when Howie blew the game for his entire alliance by evicting James, an ally, instead of a member of the opposite team? Well, it looks like Howie's stupid throne will be taken by this duo. Instead of putting their distrust of Russell to the side until a more appropriate time, they've allowed a lie by someone who has her back against the wall to take their heads out of the game.

Natalie started off the game with a lie, about being 18, and has continued lying since. People around the internet have been calling her Gnat, but I call her cat. She's like a cat with 9 lives. Never count her out, she finds a way to come out on top. It's unbelievable to me how she still has those people believing her. She's pretty much lied about everyone left, and she's not done.

She's promised Jeff and Jordan safety if she wins Head of Household. Ha! Just a couple of days earlier she told everyone that Jeff had replaced Russell as her target. Natalie has been the ringleader of Team Jesse, in fact I've called it Team Natalie. What makes Jeff so arrogant as to think that she'd switch her allegience? Did it not even enter his mind that her pledge is a little convenient? You just know that the minute she wins, she'll throw at least one of them on the block in a heartbeat. I wouldn't be surprised to see her convince them to throw a competition to her as a gesture of goodwill, lol.

He's not even the Head of Household and he's letting a little bit of power go to his head. He's taking the fact that America gave him some power as meaning that he has game. Pfft, he's showing how little game he really has. One move does not a game make. Perhaps he should have been on that landing playing chess a little more.

Many fans love them some Jeff and Jordan. Well, these two may be taking their place among the ranks of the loveable losers of Big Brother. What do you think? Are y'all still firmly on the luv bus?

BB11: A New Sheriff In Town

Congrats to Jordan, the new Big Brother 11 Head of Household. In about 24 hours of craziness, we saw Michele nominate Chima and Natalie, a Chima meltdown and eviction by the producers and another Head of Household competition.

This competition was also a luxury comp. It sounds like the one where after you take a golf shot, you can steal a gift from another houseguest. From what I gathered on the feeds, Jordan either won by getting a hole in one, or was given the HoH by Jeff. The prizes, as I've read or heard were:

Jordan - Head of Household
Jeff - Trip to Hawaii
Natalie - Phone call home
Kevin - $5,000
Russell - Spa Visit
Lydia - Red Unitard

Yes, you heard it right, the red unitard is back. But wait, this one is special, it's a Superhero unitard. It has a gold lame bikini bottom, a black cape and black goggles. If that's not bad enough, she died her hair a hot pink.

Before Lydia got into costume, though, there was major drama. She got into a screaming fit with Michele, complete with that awful C-word being thrown out there by Michele. She actually acted as though she was under the influence of some substance. She poured out all of Michele's beer that she received as HoH, and her soda. She's really trying to get evicted first. She does NOT want Natalie to have Jessie to herself for that first week.

Jordan has other plans, though. She wants Natalie out first. One reason given was that Natalie would come after her. Well, since neither Lydia nor Natalie has won anything, I wouldn't be too worried. The real reason, I think, is that she's afraid that Natalie and Russell would team up again.

Speaking of Natalie, she got into it with Michele, too. More screaming ensued and Jeff tried to be the peacemaker. I think he was channeling his inner Rodney King with his enteaties for them all to just get along. Kevin pretended that all along his whole thing was playing therapist and mediator, but when he was alone with Natalie and Lydia later, he was egging them on in their ideas to mess with the other four. They plan on targeting Jeff's temper and Michele's things.

At the moment, Jordan plans on nominating Natalie and Lydia, with Natalie the target. A couple of them said that Jordan's nominations weren't until Monday. If true, that's really gonna throw the schedule off. I guess we'll find out something sooner or later. Until we do, I guess we'll have to settle for anticipating the drama that's building up in Lydia. I'd be very surprised, though, if it were the quiet, relaxing Sunday that the houseguests are expecting.

What do y'all think of the new HoH and the Big Brother 11 season so far? Crazy, huh? For me, this has got to be one of the most volatile casts yet. They casted for a High School clique season, and they got the high school mentality that goes with it. One thing it hasn't been, though, is dull. Oh and Chima is fighting back, here's a letter she wrote to Big Brother Examiner rebutting CBS official statement of her being removed.

BB11: Fast Forward Even Faster

Well, y'all, looks like Big Brother 11 will get it's Double Elimination this week after all ... just not in the way they'd originally planned. Julie Chen announced on Thursday that next Thursday would be a week of Big Brother in an hour. They would have had live eviction, new Head of Household comp, immediate nominations, Power of Veto competition and meeting and the second live eviction all in one hour. That's not the way it will happen now.

After the chaos of last night/ this morning and Chima's subsequent removal from the house, the houseguests were informed that Michele's reign as HoH was over. They were told to prepare for a new Head of Household competition and Michele can't compete. Many are calling this a Do Over, I'm calling it a Faster Fast Forward. One of Michele's nominees, and actually her target, was evicted so it wasn't a total bust for her. And she got her letter from her husband. I hope she gets to keep her treats in her basket.

So that was our first eviction for the week. Today starts part two. Who will win this next Head of Household? Will the mini-golf setup they received last night have any bearing on it? If so, that may be a plus for Team Jeff. He and Russell did really well in practice last night. Will it be a competition of knowing the dates of what happened in the house? If so, that may be to Team Natalie's advantage. Last night before the feeds cut off, they were going over all the dates on the chess board using playdoh as markers.

I'm just hoping that Team Natalie's bad behavior doesn't benefit them. Lydia is already trying to do damage control. She told Michele today that she had nothing to do with any of the movement of clothes, that it was all Chima. Kevin got his bid in last night for his innocence. Lydia didn't quite throw Natalie under the bus, but close. She's joining with Kevin in trying to play both sides now. Don't get me wrong, it's a very smart move.

So who will win this next HoH? What will that do to the weekly schedule? I'll be updating this article as information becomes available. The feeds have been on fish for quite a while now, so I'm guessing that the HoH competition is in progress.

Update: 4:40pmBBT - Jordan has won this Head of Household competition. They think that nominations are tomorrow.

BB11: Chima Lost Her Mind

Wow, y'all! This has been a crazy couple of day in the Big Brother 11 house. I think we all knew that something fierce would happen once Jeff used the Coup d'Etat, and it did. Chima, Natalie and Lydia reverted to childhood and caused havoc in the house. And as of right now Chima is no longer there.

Last night Team Chima were total brats. The were furious that all their campaigning to Michele about nominations were for naught. They tried everything they could to get Russell nominated. They constantly reminded Michele of her promise the week before of safety to Chima and Natalie. They kept repeating to her all of the things they said that Russell said and did to her. Natalie generously offered her allegiance to Michele ... wasn't that nice? When all was said and done, though, Michele nominated Chima and Natalie with her stated target being Chima.

Well, Ms. Chima lost her freaking mind. She was openly defiant to Big Brother. I heard a number of 'Chima, please put on your microphone' announcements and saw her flip them the bird. Kevin got her microphone for her and she tossed the whole thing into the hot tub. She refused to get a replacement one and her little dog Kevin went and fetched a new one for her. She made repeated remarks about production, which sent us feed watchers to fish over and over again. She repeated her threats to leave and her and her little groupies talked about having production over a barrel if they all left.

They dumped all of Jeff's clothes out a drawer, they took Russell's rosary that his grandmother sent him and they hid it. Oh, and get this, Ms. Chima commented that he's not even a catholic, he's a Muslim extremist. They threatened to put red m&m's into Michele's food (Michele is allergic to red dye 40), and also threatened to go into the HoH room to mess with her stuff. They had the rule book with them so they could make sure that the chaos they caused was not against the rules. All of the Michele stuff was, which is probably why they were only threats. I know the feeds cut to fish after the m&m remark.

After an extended period of fish, we came back to Kevin sitting outside on the couches with Michele telling her that he was fed up with his wimmin (yes, I know that's spelled incorrectly). He was complaining to her and then the feeds were cut once again. And they stayed off this time. Feedwatchers speculated on the cause of this feed blackout. Most of us agreed that it had something to do with the brats, and we'd thought that Allison Grodner must have been called in, but after that ...

When the feeds came back on an hour and a half plus later, Chima was gone. Her picture on the memory wall was still in color, but she was gone. Natalie said something about her not even packing, then fish. What the heck happened? Did she leave or was she asked to leave? Will we ever find out? What will the creative editors at CBS choose to show us on Sunday ...or Tuesday? Remember Sunday's show only goes up to the nomination ceremony, so they may not tell us anything then.

What will this do to the Big Brother 11 schedule? Power of Veto competition is supposed to be today, but there's only one nominee. There's supposed to be a Fast Forward double eviction this Thursday, is that still on? What about the jury? Will they be a person down, or will the viewers get one of their fondest wishes and get to be that seventh vote? What are your thoughts on any or all of this? Hold on to your seats and stay tuned, I'm sure that there will be more to come.

BB11: What the Hell Is Wrong With These People?

Hey y'all. I'm really ticked off right now. I've had it up to my hairline with these houseguests ... all of them. Maybe I was raised differently, but to me it is not okay to use racial stereotypes and bigotry. These folks have taken the art of dissing to a new low. I've heard enough use of the f*g word, calling people and things homo and things like that. Even America's favorites, Jordan and Jeff, have gotten into the act.

The latest is demonizing Russell by calling him a terrorist because of his middle eastern heritage. BS, I say. Chima is the latest recipient of my Douchebag of the week award. For all her calling out of Braden for his bigotry, she needs to look in the mirror and call herself out. I've had about enough of Ms. Thang.

Her remarks that she's going to go around calling Russell a terrorist and that it was okay because Americans hate Middle Easterners was awful. Her calling him a terrorist and making snide remarks about his friend that flies planes is veering close to slander. Oh, and hey, she's commented that she couldn't be sued for slander because of the contracts they've all signed.

Amber caught hell for her Jewish comments, Adam lost his job over his comments, but where's the outrage over Chima's? These comments are just as bad as those others were. They're malicious and ugly.

I know CBS is too worried about the dollar to do this, but I'd love for them to air a montage of the bigoted comments made in that house just this season. They've made it a point to sanitize their broadcasts, even the fights, to keep out these types of comments. Wonder if they're afraid to lose advertising dollars. There would certainly be outrage. But why do they continue to portray these people in such rosy red colors? Why let them get away with it?

Remember when the UK Big Brother evicted someone for their racist comments? All it would take is one time here and the problem would be nipped in the bud. If they don't evict them, give them penalty noms. They are adults, they should have learned by now that there are consequences for their words and actions. If not, I think Big Brother has a responsibility to us to refuse to reward these bigots.

BB11: Who's Really Doin' Whom?

Hey y'all, expect the unexpected on Big Brother 11 and this week may turn out to be very unexpected. I see next week being an entirely different game. Between the disintegration of the cliques and all the speculation on the mysterious power, these houseguests have shown some different colors.

First there is Russell and his nominations. His winning HoH this week really helped no one except Jesse and Natalie. Unfortunately for Russell, he only thinks that he is in Jessie's inner circle and feels some kind of obligation to him. I guess I can kind of understand that because Jessie basically saved him from going on the block and leaving when Ronnie had HoH. But Jessie and Natalie will be the end of Russell.

Russell nominated Ronnie and Lydia and wants Ronnie gone. Jessie, Natalie and Chima (for some reason) are rabid about keeping Ronnie. Chima is almost doing what she's condemned Lydia for doing. She's about ready to whore herself out to keep Ronnie safe. Chima is pinning her hopes on changing Russell's mind about who he wants out. She's promised Russell that she'd vote the way he wants her to, but she's also promised to keep Ronnie. What will she do?

Michele is also in an awkward position if the nominees stay the same. Does she truly have an alliance with Ronnie? Or was she telling the truth when she said that she wanted him gone? She might end up being the swing vote ... if the nominees stay the same. Everyone is being so sweet to her now ... wonder why.

All this speculation could be moot by Thursday because of the veto or because of the Coup D'etat. The Power of Veto competition is today, and if these people are smart, they will go all out to win it. Remember that Julie told them that the only two people guaranteed safe for the next two weeks are the Head of Household and the Power of Veto holder.

The houseguests have been chosen to play and they are Russell, Lydia and Ronnie, of course, and then Jessie, Kevin and Michele. If anyone other than the nominees wins it, will it be used? Good question. Jessie may or may not save Ronnie, he won't if he thinks he has the votes to save him. Kevin may or may not save Lydia, again depending on how he thinks the votes will sway (but honestly, I don't believe Kevin will win anything).

I'm curious about something though. If Jessie, or anyone, wins PoV and they take Ronnie off the block, can he be re-nominated through the Coup D'etat? The scenario that I'm thinking is this: Jessie takes Ronnie off, Jeff or Jordan win the Coup and on Thursday, they put Ronnie back up. That would be hilarious.

Hang on tight, y'all, this week in the Big Brother 11 house could be a bumpy ride. Who do y'all want gone this week? And who did you vote for to win the Coup D'Etat? Oh, and hey, have you been to the CBS page lately? You can also record advice, ranging from wardrobe to hygiene (are you listening Natalie?) for the houseguests by calling 1-323-386-2350 by 11:59 pm BBT Sunday August 2nd. I want to know what you're thinking ... comment below.

Update 3:15pm BBT - For the second time in a row, Michele is the Power of Veto winner! Let the games begin. Ronnie's already been working her. What will she do? Add your comments

BB11: Case of the Bitter Banana

Hey y'all, it seems that Casey, the Banana Man, will take center stage on Big Brother 11 this week. He supposedly throws the Power of Veto competition, gets stuck wearing a banana suit for the week, wins the house a margarita party and gets put on the block. Let's start the pity party.

For me, his disappearance will be just fine. He's back on the top of the Douchebag of the Week heap, if you ask me. Yeah, I know he's disappointed in being nominated, but if he was such 'a grown ass man' as he said numerous times last night, he'd be better behaved. Instead of 'grown ass man', perhaps just 'ass' would do.

As my long time readers already know, I just don't cotton to a man calling a woman a c***. Period. It's not cool. That's how he referred to Lydia last night because she didn't tell him that Jessie was talking about putting him on the block. I know the legions of Jeff/Jordan/Casey worshipers are already saying that it was the 'heat of the moment', that 'he was just frustrated', yada yada yada. If it's not in your head and in your heart, it won't come out of your mouth. He went on and on about being a man and being classy, but he didn't walk the walk ... he just talked.

Y'all know I'm not a Lydia fan, and that's the excuse some of his defenders are using. In fact, she's also on my fast train to eviction, but I'll not sit idly by while this 40 something teacher of our youth is using this term to describe her, or any female. No, Mr. Turner, that is NOT classy, nor would a real man have to sink to that level. You'd think a teacher would have a better vocabulary.

Then today, he has to verbally attack ANOTHER female. And this one he never even met. He's gone on his rampage calling Ronnie's wife a walrus or sea lion or some large aquatic animal, among other names. Hey, dude, just because you got played, it doesn't make you a man to diss someone's wife. If in fact you did throw the PoV competition, it just makes you even stupider.

Yes, there are those that will excuse him because Lydia and Ronnie are not considered part of the 'good people' *insert rolling eyes here*, but not me. I've endured night after night of you whining about the other half of the house and trying to make yourself out to be so much better than they are. I have not forgotten that at the beginning you were part of that other side, before you made the decision to vote out Chima and got busted on it. I've not forgotten that it is only because of 'white guilt' that she's still there, according to you.

Well, Mr. Banana Man, I hope you get to visit with Julie and do your Big Brother 11 exit interviews on Thursday in your little yellow suit. Knock yourself out ...

BB11: Jessie's Dilemma

Mr. Pec-Tacular finds himself in a bit of a pickle this week on Big Brother 11. He pretty much has an alliance of some sort with everyone in the house and he's Head of Household. Last Monday it seemed that this week's HoH would have a very easy week, but in true Big Brother style, the tide turned.

Ronnie had such a mucked up reign, he'd be the logical choice for eviction, and if he got nominated he still would be. But that's the rub. Ronnie lucked out when Jessie won HoH. Other than his Team Brain clique, that was his best chance of surviving this week. He must have been sweating when it came to a tie between Jessie and Jeff. He'd for sure be on the block if Jeff was HoH.

With Jessie, though, it looks like he'll be safe. Because of their alliance, Jessie has told Ronnie that he'd not be nominated. This may or may not come back to bite Jessie in the butt. Last week the entire house came to a consensus that Ronnie'd be up and gone. Jessie's decision not to put him up will for sure anger the Jeff, Jordan and Casey coalition.

Jessie's original nominees were Jordan and Michele. Everyone was pretty cool at first because they still thought that after the veto competition, Jessie would 'do the right thing'. When names were drawn to participate in the veto competition today, there were some happy faces because Ronnie was not picked to play. It also caused some consternation because Casey commented that certain people didn't seem happy enough that Ronnie wasn't chosen.

I hate that we don't get to see the competitions on the feeds. We get trivia for hours, and CBS condenses it to perhaps 10 minutes. This one in particular sounds fascinating. It was messy and had prizes. Jessie won $2500, Casey won a margarita party for the house and a banana suit and Michele won the PoV. What's this banana suit, you ask? I guess it was supposed to be this year's version of the red unitard. Lucky for Casey, it's not a full body catsuit. It basically just fits on and over his top part.

Michele winning puts another decision onto Jessie. Who will he put up in his place? His choices are basically Ronnie, Chima, Kevin, Lydia and Casey. I, personally, would like him to nominate Lydia, but after last night that probably won't happen. Once again, Ms. Lydia attempts to use sex to ensure her safety. The last time she only gave Jessie a handjob, but last night they went all the way. Was it coincidence that she did this just hours after proclaiming to Kevin that she uses sex as a weapon? I have one word for her ... whore.

But anyway, Team Jessie (minus Kevin and Lydia) thinks that Casey will be nominated on Monday and Team Jeff (plus Kevin and Lydia) think that Ronnie will be going up on the block. Which will Jessie choose? Or will he go totally off the grid and nominate someone different? After all, in Big Brother time, it's a long time from now until Monday afternoon.

BB11: Club Jessie - Part Two

Hey y'all. What a week this has been on Big Brother 11. Ronnie sure had a memorable reign, and I'd venture a guess that it was probably among the worst, if not the worst reign. He started his week being cocky as all get out and ended the week whimpering in his Head of Household room. The puppetmaster made one too many moves.

He's not done, though. As badly as it looked for him on Monday, he will probably be around a while. It looks as though he has an alliance with Jessie, Russell, and Natalie and he has his clique with Chima and Michele. As badly as Russell treated him, and in spite of how it was shown on the CBS show, Russell snuck Ronnie food and entered into an unholy alliance. Of course, we don't really know how genuine either of them were when they made it. They are all liars, and darned entertaining about it. If nominated, though, Ronnie may very well have the votes to stay. This game is crazy.

And his chances look even better now that Jessie has won the HoH competition. I was really surprised that the offbeats did so badly. They were up late practicing last night. But, oh well. The Athletes are safe again and the populars are down to one. I thought that the producers might have produced a twist this week because the populars turned out to be not so popular.

This may end up being another crazy week. The majority of the house thinks that the target is Ronnie, but Jessie and his main core group aren't on that page of the book. They've all talked about backdooring Ronnie, so he might have some peace until the veto competition is over. After that, though, all bets are off if Ronnie does not win the PoV. They will all expect it to be used and Ronnie put in as a replacement nominee. I don't know how Jessie will play that off with all the different little factions that he has going on.

He has the clique thing going on, the Athlete/Brain thing, he has the Lydia thing (and where Lydia goes, it seems that Kevin and usually Chima will follow), he has a side deal going with Casey, and a different one with Jeff and Jordan. I think that's the entire house!

Right now, the only houseguests that have even talked about putting Jessie on the block are Laura, who is gone, and Russell. And Russell can't put him up because they are in the same clique. This might change after the PoV meeting if he has the opportunity to put Ronnie on the block and doesn't. Is it worth the chance to him? How valuable is Ronnie to Jessie's game Those are some questions that are facing Jessie this week.

So who will Jessie nominate? Russell and Natalie both wanted Casey up at one point, and they all seem to want Michele up for some reason. Jessie, though, has that secret late night alliance thing going with Casey, so it would not surprise me if he was safe. If that is the case, who will he put up? He can't put up Jeff, and that leaves Jordan as the only other person from the other side of the house.

Here's to another wild week on Big Brother 11. Right now it seems as if they're all getting along and having fun (except Ronnie), but you just know it won't last. Do y'all have your feeds yet?

BB11: Ronnie's Big Weekend

Hey y'all, very interesting weekend thus far in the Big Brother 11 house. After Ronnie won the Head of Household competition on Thursday, the hamsters started scurrying. Which side of the fence would Ronnie fall on or would he still try to straddle the fence? He met with everyone and their grandmas that night and generally held court. He stayed busy trying to convince Team Jeff that he was not the hinky vote and was still on their side.

Laura showed that she actually had a brain in addition to those boobs. She figured out what Ronnie was doing and tried to convince her teammates of the same. For the most part they believed her, but it didn't do any good. Besides that, I'm sure they had another rat in the henhouse. I'm convinced that Casey is working with Jesse and as time goes on nothing has changed my mind.

Team Jesse (or Natalie) has this serious hate on for Laura and it was pretty much a given that they'd convince Ronnie to put her up. Maybe they do realize that she's not dumb and she has them figured out. She pretty much does. Too bad that she has no power right now.

That team is just so content right now to let Jesse/Natalie run the game. If they're not careful, they'll run right to the end. They are considered bullies, but they have such control, that I seriously think that Laura would be the only one to put them on the block. The mind control is amazing. They have their own team in check and also have deals going with Casey and Jeff. I just shake my head.

Friday they had their Have/Have Not competition, with special guest Big Brother 10 winner, Dan. From what the houseguests have let out, many of them showed their behinds. Sounds like casting really scraped the bottom of the barrel with this crew. There must have been more than one part to this because in addition to one clique losing and having to live in the jail room with no hot water and slop, Casey and Chima (who are not even in the same clique) won a movie. I was not surprised to find out that the Populars lost the comp, with Jordan and Laura, they are the weakest clique.

Almost as an afterthought, Ronnie nominated Laura and Jeff. Jeff pretty much told Ronnie to nominate him, so that he'd at least get to play in the PoV competition and that was the out that Ronnie needed. He's still trying to pretend that he's not totally in Jesse's pocket. He also gave them some story about trying to backdoor Russell. Ronnie hates Casey and there is only one reason why he would not put him up ... Jesse.

Speaking of Russell, I don't know what to make of him right now. He's running scared because I think he realizes that he's not part of the Jesse/Natalie inner circle. Last night he hung out with Team Jeff and Natalie got her panties all in a wad. He must be a traitor since he dares to speak and hang out with the others. That's all she needed to try to convince Jesse that they needed to try to get him out. It didn't help that he went off on Lydia. He was talking to Natalie and Lydia butted in with a smartass comment. He went off on her saying that it's not always all about her. She then went crying to the diary room and she, Chima and Kevin concocted this scheme to try to convince the Diary Room that Russell was a physical threat and they were afraid for their safety.

Today was the Power of Veto competition. In addition to Ronnie, Laura and Jeff, Natalie, Russell and Casey also played. After another marathon session of Big Brother Trivia, we found out that Jeff won the PoV. So now the rest of the weekend should be busy in the Big Brother house. Everyone will be trying to convince Ronnie to put up their choice. At one point, it was going to be Russell and Jeff, Jordan and Lydia are working hard to convince Ronnie to do exactly that. Jeff and Jordan might really have the votes to keep Laura, especially after last night. Lydia will deliver her vote along with Kevin and Chima's and then there will be Jeff and Jordan. Team Jeff will have survived another week without even being in power.

Who do you think Ronnie will name in Jeff's place? Who do you think he should name in his place? I look forward to reading your comments below. If you don't have the feeds yet, this would probably be a good time to give them a try. Just click here and start your free trial.

BB11: Ronnie Really Holds the Power Now

Hey y'all, what a show, huh? Big Brother 11 had to have it's drama, didn't it? HamsterDame wrote in her last post that Ronnie had the power, and she wasn't kidding. Not only did his vote for Braden to leave tie it up, but then he came right back and won the Head of Household. Must be a dream come true for such a Big Brother fan.

The problem for him is that now he's going to have to make some hard choices. I don't know how he's gonna keep straddling that fence. He's playing so hard, I'm kind of expecting him to spontaneously combust at any moment. I know he voted with Team Jock this time, but I still don't know whose team he's really on, if any. Ronnie is playing for Ronnie, which is what he's supposed to do, but sheesh dude.

I've been sitting here watching the feeds since the show, trying to figure out an angle for this post. I don't care for either side. Natalie is too loud and abrasive, and so is Chima, but I don't like Jordan either. I think she's fake and the fact that she thinks it's perfectly alright to indiscriminately use the terms 'gay' and 'fag' is very offensive to me. I cheered Michele tonight when she told Jordan that it offended her. To sit there and talk about how she's too nice for those people and the show and then turn around and use those terms just makes me want to puke. And I hate the fact that every year, you have your houseguests dividing into what they call the 'good' people and the 'evil' people.

I just don't know what to make of these people. They have to live with each other 24/7. I would think that they'd at least try to get along. But they don't. And they don't care. It has to be so tiring to be so miserable all day every day. I can see not trusting anyone, but you can at least be civil, I would think. You would also think that after 10 seasons, I should be used to asinine behaviour from the houseguests, lol.

Tonight the house is split into factions along the vote line with Ronnie still trying to play monkey in the middle. He is insisting to Team Jeff that he was not the rat. Not only that, he's insisting that it's either Casey or Michele. I don't think they believe him, but what can they do at this point? He has insisted to them that if he finds out who the rat is, he'll put them on the block. Is this setting up a Casey nomination?

You've noticed that I haven't written a word about Chima's speech. I can't believe she did it. Nothing she said was a lie, but still ... I was appalled when I found out that she said something about Braden calling Julie a whore. She had the truth on her side, but not the right. After hearing Jeff say something last night about since they were able to keep someone who makes racial comments in the house, then they could keep anyone in the house, I laughed a little when I realized that Chima was calling them out on keeping a misogynist and a bigot in the house. I didn't feel sorry for Braden, but I felt sorry for Julie. She didn't deserve that. I'm sure, though, that the CBS show only folks were confused because they made a point of whitewashing Braden's rant against Lydia and Kevin, and they didn't show anything of the games when he said that about Julie. In case you missed her rant, CBS posted the video here.

So who do I think Ronnie will nominate? I'm not sure. I'm thinking that Casey will go up, and he's mentioned putting up Laura, too. At one point I heard Kevin's named thrown into the mix, too. I haven't heard him mention any names to Team Jeff, other than the 'rat', but he can't nominate himself. But we've seen how the Big Brother house turns on a dime. The only people safe are Ronnie, Chima and Michele. Who do you think he'll nominate? Who do you think he should nominate? Comment below.

Update: Okay Team Jock (basically Jesse, Natalie, Chima, Lydia and maybe Ronnie) just named themselves NBK, for Natural Born Killers, meaning no silicone, no steroids, all natural. They have a handshake and something they do after winning. Haven't they figured out that the minute you name yourself you become losers? I'm rolling my eyes here ... later, y'all.

BB11: Braden or Chima - Who Will It Be?

Hey y'all, what a difference a day makes on Big Brother 11. Yesterday, it was all but over for Braden. There was no question that he was going home. Tonight, however, it's all in the air. What happened here?

First of all, Chima is an idiot. Yes, I know most of them are idiots, but let's talk about Chima for a minute.

Number One: She has not campaigned one iota this week. Yes, I know she thinks she is just the pawn, but really. For a self proclaimed fan, she's not playing smart. You always check in and campaign regardless of what they tell you. You count the votes yourself and work them. Don't depend on anyone for your life. This is an individual game, after all.

Number Two: Two nights before the vote you do NOT go off on a vote that you need. Yes, I agree that not cleaning up after yourself after making a mess on the toilet is nasty. Yes, these are grown folks and they should all clean up the bathroom. However comma it is not smart to keep going on and on about Michele being nasty in the bathroom ... with her sitting right there. And to keep verbally abusing your own clique-mate is not good play.

Then there's Braden. He is playing well right now. He's played it cool, after going off on Lydia and Kevin the other day. He's gone back and apologized to Kevin, although I don't know if it helped. Don't get me wrong, I think he was a jerk and he's still douchebag of the week, but he's playing it smart. He's quietly gone to people not in the jock alliance and lined up votes to stay. He's had his buddy Jordan campaigning for him, too. Will it work? I honestly don't know.

Why don't I know? Basically because some of them are playing both ends against the middle. Tomorrow night after the vote looks like it will be explosive. There are people telling both groups right now that they have their vote. The two groups right now are the jocks, minus Jeff, plus Chima and Lydia and then the Jordan/Jeff/Braden group.

The jocks have played this stupidly. They had an alliance with the brains, but they pissed it away. They also had an alliance going with Laura. They were so self absorbed, that they didn't even try to keep their alliance members satisfied. Laura was pretty pathetic in just wanting to be accepted, but they neglected to do that, and Jordan was able to move in and scoop her up, the same with Michele. Now it looks like those two votes will go for Braden to stay.

I see the vote going 4-4 right now, but I don't know about Casey or Ronnie. Both of them are playing nice with both groups and telling both groups that they have their vote. Casey and Ronnie told each other that they are voting for Braden to stay, but right after, Ronnie went running up to Jesse. Casey does not like Chima, but he, too, seems to have this thing going with Jesse.

And what about this Casey/Jesse relationship? There are videos out there with Casey and Jesse being in the same venues, participating in the same bikini contests down in Florida. We didn't have the feeds the first few days they were in the house, so we don't know if they discussed this.

Anyway, y'all, this has been quite the entertaining week in the house. Two defined groups in the house already, with your floaters and ego on both sides. Lots of people out there are so in love with Jeff that they overlook the fact that he's really no better than Jesse and Russell that they love to diss. He has an ego if you listen to him, and he's also on video making very negative discriminatory comments. But then, none of them are angels. They've all overplayed this week.

Braden or Chima, which houseguest will still be in the Big Brother 11 house this time Thursday night? Comment below and tune in to find out ...

BB11: 'Fight For Your Right'

Woohee! Hey y'all, it was a pretty explosive early afternoon in the Big Brother 11 house. Think of the Jeff/Russell/Natalie bruhaha as a prelude. Things have been brewing since then, I think, and this afternoon was a boil point. Notice I said 'a' boil point and not 'the' boil point. In keeping with the high school theme, it seems that they casted a bunch of hormonal immature personalities.

Round 1: Braden vs. Lydia/Kevin

This one's been brewing since the Veto meeting when Braden replaced Lydia on the chopping block. Braden blames Lydia for his nomination and let her know in no uncertain terms. While that is not necessarily a bad thing, the language he used was a bad thing. He threw around derogatory and/or racial slurs like they were oh so normal. Yes, Braden took over the Douchebag slot from Casey. Go check out the RealPlayer SuperPass Flashback at around 12:45 ish BBT today to watch this mess.

Round 2: Jordan vs. Lydia

I call this one the Battle of the Blondes. This was a typical non-physical high school girl catfight and my daughter and I cracked up watching it. 'I didn't do anything to you', 'but I tried to talk to you',' but I thought you were my friend' ... yeah, you know what I mean. It was really pretty funny. It comes not too long after the first round, so just keep the Flashback running.

And this was in a couple of hours, y'all. If you don't have the feeds, then you need to click on the link now and get them!
