I brought my crowbar today and am prying it open for all of you to cast your vote to evict.

Hayden (the reluctant pawn) or Ragan (the target of the week)

Who strategically do you think should go? Who do you cast your vote to evict.

With 5 house guests becoming 4 tonight, how do you see things playing out for the FINAL 4?

Peace, BBBlogger

You’ve got to hand it to Ragan. His doomy-gloomy, fussy funk turned him into more of a Saboteur than BB did. Instead of continuing his pity party pout-fest, he actually rehearsed his hopeful BB life saving speech to Lane with Britney. Deep breath and lowered blouse, he approached Lane with an idea to make a “power move” and get Hayden evicted. Hayden and Enzo are a “couple” anyway, why not break them up and impress the jury with a bold move?

I think Lane was dreaming about hot dogs, but at least he seemed interested and grunted in all the right places. And, like the dutiful little HG, Britney did the old BB follow up, “so what do you think?” play. The point is, Ragan is trying to stay in the house and is pulling out all the stops. Good for him. At least he’s trying something. I wish he would have played like this all along because he really could have made it to the Final 2.

Meanwhile, back in Brit-land, her whining about not winning anything has turned into more hypocrisy when she criticized Hayden to Lane saying that he’s only “in it for the money” and that “he’ll do anything for money”…he’s “playing both sides to get to the final 2.” Again Pot…meet Kettle! The only reason anyone steps foot into the BB house is to win money & prizes. And she knows Hayden won the 5 grand and “her” Hawaii trip but doesn’t want him to know she knows. Britney knows all. Long live Jambi.

As Thursday quickly approaches, the old Big Brother Paranoia Syndrome is setting in. They all claim to be “friends,” but there’s mucho mistrust all over the house – along with the mess they are now forced to clean since they evicted all the worker bees. BB gave them some toys last night, but they’re still bored – they haven’t even played beer pong this season!

Yet they all want something: Enzo wants Britney out of the house. Lane wants her sock puppet. Ragan wants to stay. Hayden wants to hide more of his face with his hair and Britney? She wants to begin a new trend with the dramatic overuse of the word “Whaat?!” a la “Waz uuup?” She really thinks she’ll be a star after this, maybe a talk show, sitcom, book deal, all of which she is not the least bit qualified – or talented. But this is common since Enzo thinks the boys need to make a “Brigade CD.”

Don’t forget, football will interrupt our favorite summer guilty pleasure, delaying the eviction results until the wee hours of Thursday night and Friday morning. The producers obviously didn’t learn from the days of the “Heidi” broadcast that they need to cut the game off for our favorite show, not the other way around. How dare they!

If our HGs keep Ragan, he could keep winning. The same goes for Princess Britney. If they don’t somehow get her evicted her next week, she could sail to Final 2 and win the grand prize! All her complaining for not having won a thing, could win her the whole game! She knows exactly what she’s doing. She picked all the right bikinis and she picked the right HG to play. They’ve all got game somewhere. They’ve all made it this far. They’re all doing something right. We’re nearing the home stretch in this Big Brother season. And for all my snarky critiques of these HGs, I toast them all for making it this far in what truly is a very difficult game. =^^=

The best part of my day in the Big Brother house is reporting to all of you. Mainly because you have not missed anything. No. Really, I’m being totally serious right now, you haven’t missed a thing. Except this Breaking News!!! They’re all homesick and Enzo took himself off the block and Lane nominated Hayden in his place – not Britney. Lane’s game play reminds me of an old song…come on! Let’s all sing along! I’ve seen Big Brother from both sides now, from win or lose and still somehow…it’s their delusions I recall…I really don’t know Big Brother…at all. Okay, sorta dorky, but oddly appropriate.

Ragan was barely socializing with the newly formed Brit-Bro-gade, choosing instead to keep to himself, sadly stare at the fish and pout that he’s a “dead man walking, waiting for execution on Thursday.” Psst…earth to Ragan…you’ll get to meet Julie, not the Grim Reaper! He knows he’s going home and I’m sure he’s heard the snide confirmations coming from Meow Meow and the Pussycats. Everyone I know from “Joizey” is mortified that he’s “repre-se-en” the lovely Garden State, but these producers clearly cast stereotypes.

We learned that Lane comes from a wealthy oil family where his job is to schmooze clients on private jets and golf courses. Boo Hoo Britney gave up her engagement to be on TV – she’s still engaged, so I’m not sure what that means, but she’s really pouty poop mad that she has nothing to show for all her “work” on BB. Hayden isn’t really sharing much, but is still nervous about his “pawn” status. If there wasn’t already a great show on the History channel, CBS could create a new reality show and call it “Big Brother Pawn Stars” for all those HGs who went home before their time.

Last night’s snooze fest was nothing more than general talk about cigarettes, getting drunk, Brit’s former “escapades,” DR sessions, former HGs, beards, Facebook and strategies they should have had weeks ago. Duh.

So on the block we have Ragan and Hayden – and the folks managing the DR room are pushing the HGs to consider voting out Hayden and keep Ragan. They’ve invested 20 grand and a lot of editing to transform him into a Gomer Pyle – a likable HG, they don’t want him to be evicted. I guess the DR room guys don’t talk to the live feed or Showtime guys. They’ll want to hang on to Brit, too, since she’s eye candy for the guys, but it would be better for us all if they just slapped red wax lips on her to keep her mouth closed.

We still have a couple of days until eviction day Thursday. The “grass” in the back yard isn’t real and the paint is already dry. What will we do? =^^=

If it is, it’s the first time in BB history! …or is it? Britney seems to think so, but one must rub ones chin to recall the many times HGs evicted those they considered responsible for each seasons’ drama, only to deny that they, too, were equally culpable with their contributions. And the Emmy goes to….

It’s fun to watch the CBS produced shows to see how well they edit the HGs in order to sway public opinion. But I’ve said before, when you watch the feeds and BBAD you see who they truly are in this house. Maybe they’re different outside, but for some, I highly doubt it. Lane’s climb up the money tree garnered him very little cash and although he was honest with the other HGs, they still don’t believe him. Ragan is sitting with 20 grand from his Saboteur stint and no one suspects him. Last night the highlight on BBAD was seeing Princess Britney in her true form: wearing a tin foil tiara. *click* Which brings me to this:

Maybe there are no dramatic outbursts in the BB house at the moment, but there’s nothing going on either. I’m sorry to report that I had to get off the feeds and stop watching BBAD after so much of the same. It’s like watching a B-bad rerun! They rehash conversations that were rehashed weeks ago. They continue to find new & improved ways to B-bash all the former contestants. They target one, then another, and another and all the attacks are really mean and personal – some very much so that I cannot listen any longer. And their delusions of fame, stardom, paparazzi and lavish wrap parties is, well…delusional!

So instead of my complaining and whining like this seasons HGs, I’d rather reflect a little on this season. I’d like to morph into Cher for a minute, turn back time and shuffle the “if” deck. Now, you’ll all probably want to stick me in a Penguin suit for the remainder of the season, but I really believe Brendon could have made the finals if he’d played for himself and not gotten involved with Rachel. I also think she could have made it further had she not been so snarky and arrogant.

If Ragan had come into the game with the game play he has now, he wouldn’t be sitting on the block, but on the HOH bed. Look how well he’s hidden his Saboteur status! He’s as guilty as Lane for his little crush on an HG (Matt) and it weakened the one player who could have won this entire game! Then there’s Annie. Had she not walked in with a chip on her shoulder, I think she could have made it further, too. She came on far too strong in the beginning and Big Brother historically speaking, that’s almost always cause for eviction.

If Matt had entered the house without the lie about his wife, I think he could have faked his sincerity better. Instead, it was a big lie he had to continually remember and live out. I think he could have made it to Final 2 with Brendon had he shared less and listened more. I don’t believe Monet would have made it far in this game no matter what, and Andrew would have been evicted early on just for being annoying. Kristen looked smashing in the Hippietard, which finally sold for $1,325.00, but her pretty face, frizzy wig and showmance with Hayden got her the boot. We’ll never know what kind of game she had since she floated up and out of the BB house.

Lane, Hayden and Enzo teamed up early on and have remained somewhat loyal to one another, but that is threatened by Britney’s bikinis and Lane’s googly eyes. Hayden is trying to keep him focused on the game, but Lane is more focused on Britney’s sock puppet. Enzo talks East Coast tough but has only won one POV and the other Brigade members have taken note of that. Lane thinks he can win this game by taking Brit to the Final 2 and is considering turning on his own by sending Enzo packing. And last night Britney arrogantly said that Evel Dick’s tactics wouldn’t have worked this season. Oh how I would love to see her shrivel up just at the sight of the best Big Brother player in history, in my opinion, of course.

Now it’s your turn to shuffle the “if” deck of Big Brother cards. Where would you have liked to have seen them land? Where do they go from here? Should BB bring back an evicted HG to add some…personality? Is there any way Ragan can save himself this late in the game? The cards are stacked against him now, but maybe he has one more up his sleeve. =^^=

Interesting that in Matt & Brendon’s exit interviews, both hope for Ragan to be in the Final 2. Brendon acknowledged that Ragan worked hard to be there. However, if it were the reverse, Ragan wishes nothing but evil on Brendon and would never cast his vote for him to win anything. Isn’t it funny how those who say they don’t play the game “personally” always do. Matt commented on how the HGs will react to his wife’s “fake” illness making this point: A lie is a lie and everyone in Big Brother lies.

Under the heading of “Sore Losers” and “Poor Sports” sits Ragan and Enzo, respectively. Enzo finally pulled out all the stops, and just in the nick of time when it seemed it would never happen, he wins POV! Off the block will step our former Penguin leaving Ragan and his V-neck blouses sadly pouting with the knowledge that there’s no way he can be spared from the swift kick out the Big Brother door and questionable welcome to the jury house. Oh. And Enzo cheated, according to Ragan. I wish BB would give him some cheese to go with his whine, but then we’d have to watch him eat it with his tonsils in full view. Ew.

Ragan had been studying everything in the house like a school boy. Learning every detail of the HG faces in case he played the morphing game. He counted, he plotted, he schemed, basically like everyone else, but now he’s more alone than ever since Britney’s girlie ways don’t work on him. She throws him a bone with a patronizing “are you okay?” but her loyalty lies with the HG who will take her to Final 2. A nice slice of humble pie would do these two HGs a world of good. And isn’t Big Brother the perfect place to serve it up on a nice steamy, platter!

But Britney should not feel safe based on BB history, although she remarked that, “This is the safest week to be a pawn.” Enzo will take himself off the block, but will Lane stay true to the remaining Brigade? Lane wants Hayden to win the next HOH instead of Enzo because he thinks either of them could win over Britney in a Final 2 situation. Britney is confident that she’s not going anywhere, except to find a lower cut blouse than Ragan, and no one seems to care who goes up in place of Enzo when he uses the POV on himself.

The way I see it, Enzo and Hayden remain somewhat loyal to the Final 3 with Lane. But Lane? Not so much. I don’t think he cares what the boys do as long as he can keep staring at Britney’s, uh, “fun zone.” He’s a really likable ol’ bear, but his head is stuck so far up the honey jar that he can’t see all the bees.

In addition to the yawn inducing house festivities including…wait for it…former HG bashing, BB gave them all sock puppets in likenesses of themselves. Quite fitting if you watch the feeds or BBAD. I predict Britney’s will mysteriously end up under Lane’s pillow so little hearts can float out of it while he sleeps, and Enzo’s will end up weighted down at the bottom of the BB pool. Ragan spent much of the night pouting and missing his family, friends, i-toys, e-mail, getting drunk, enjoying hangovers, and…there’s only a few hours left on Kristen’s Hippietard and wig auction on eBay. It sits with 76 groovy bids at $1,325.00. =^^=

These last couple days have given us all a chance to reflect on the wild Thursday night double eviction that sent Matt & Brendon out the Big Brother front door, and into the Big Brother jury house. I’m sure next week we’ll finally get a peek at the evicted HGs reactions as they welcome their newest members.

Meanwhile, back at the fun house, Lane won HOH late Thursday night and yesterday nominated Enzo and Ragan for eviction. We all know showmances are Big Brother game death sentences, and from season to season we all throw up our hands in fury when they develop. This season already saw the demise of Kristen because of Hayden, and Brenchel was doomed from the start, but Lane and Britney are different. Lane has a silly crush on the girl, who has a boyfriend, yet teases him endlessly with her unlimited supply of various bikinis and dimples. Her mama didn’t raise no fool…she didn’t raise much of a lady either.

And with their least favorite HG gone, you’d think they’d have better things to talk about, or maybe move on with new strategies in the game, but nooooo! Instead, marathon conversations about conversations and most include a whole lot of Brendon/Rachel bashing. At this point, folks, their behavior says a heck of a lot more about the bashers than it does about the bashees. Just sayin’…and for Ragan to mock Rachel about “always wanting to be the center of attention.” Pot…meet Kettle. There are other ways to play and win this game, but I must always remind myself: This is Big Brother.

The breaking news event in the house happened last night when Enzo said good bye to his Penguin alter ego with the remaining HGs chanting “shun” as he removed the suit and piled it in a heap in the back yard. And the hippietard once worn by Kristen is still on ebay with only a day left in the auction. Someone was driving up the bid without anyone bidding back, so their bids were discarded and it sits at 74 bids and a bargain price of $1,225.00.

So we’re left with Penelope Pitstop, three Keystone Cops and Sylvester Sneekly and due to a football game on Thursday, we may have to wait a while to find out who’s evicted. Check your local listings, but CBS…we may have a problem! =^^=

Hey everyone…this is BBBlogger. I am out of town and have not been able to post Natty’s review until now. Please forgive me. A new post will still happen on Saturday!
==================
Hello again BB fans!!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my blog about bb!! It’s fun to share my opinions with you all. Even if some of you don’t agree with what I have to say. It’s all good though cause different opinions is what makes the world go round.

Well, I have to say I am a little bummed that Matt got kicked out. He made the wrong decisions when he was up on the block. He never should have thrown Ragan under the bus. His smartest move would have been to align himself with Britney & Ragan. He should have told them about the brigade so they could team up & get rid of Hayden or Enzo. I thought for sure Matt woulda said something during the live show! So, it’s his own fault he got kicked out. Matt got too confident & cocky near his end time. You can never feel 100% safe in that house unless your the veto holder or hoh. What the heck is up with Enzo!!?? Man that guy couldn’t win a game against himself!! LMAO Since he’s not winning any comps he might as well do us all some good & make us laugh by watching him walk around in a penguin costume!

This season is going by way too fast!! That’s why I don’t like double evictions. I wanna see a whole weeks of big brother in a week not one night! Don’t get me wrong I love the drama & everyone scrambling for their lives but I wanna see them strategize all week long to try & stay in the house.

I feel kinda bad for Brendon too because he was all alone & had no one. I remember what that was like & believe me it’s no fun. I liked Brendon alot more in the house after Rachel left. I feel he did play a good game.
So I give him credit & have mad respect for him to have made it that far in the game while being a target the entire time.

One thing I am so sick & tired of hearing on twitter, feeds, & facebook is how this season sucks & it’s the worst!! ohhhhhh, waaaaaaaah!!!! (…. Give me a frickin break & cry me a river!! People have been saying that since season 8!! If it’s so bad why do people continue to watch!! Not only that but all day long everyone roots to get the interesting players out, then complains about being bored!! JIMMINEY CHRISTMAS!!I’m just happy & thankful the show is still on tv & I get to watch my favorite show every summer. For me no matter who gets cast, i just enjoy the game of bb!! The whole concept is AWESOME!!

YAY!! I’m so happy Lane won hoh!! That guy has been cracking me up lately & he’s soooo cute!! I just love his diary room sessions, he’s so funny!! It’s crazy cause he reminds me of Ryan BB9. He’s played bb alot like Ryan by being so laid back & down to earth! Lane has played a great social game. In fact I notice alot of fans are always supporting the people who win comps but you have to remember in the bb house you don’t always wanna win stuff because it just puts a target on yah! Plus in order to win bb your social game needs to be great! If you don’t have a social game..(EX. RACHEL) you’ll get the boot! It’s so important to remain nuetral with everyone & not cause alot of drama. You want to win everyone over in the house with your personality & social skills because all those people in the house will be voting for the winner. SO I am rooting for Lane to win BB!!

Well I don’t have much to chat about this time, so thankyou again for reading & being a bb fan!! Love you guys ;o)

Talk soon!
Love,
Natty BB9!!!!! NOT GNAT!!! haha

I think we are going to see the classic move tonight where the POV is used and the renom is headed out the back door! Simple, easy, PERFECT! I love it when the game play catches up with people who think they run the house.

So what did you think of last nights show? Did you like the POV comp? They had to do some serious stuff to get the VETO.

So Matt vs. Enzo. The diary room is now open. Who do you choose to evict? Please cast your vote now!

Peace, BBBlogger

PS: Do not forget that tonight there is a double elimination…who ELSE will be GONE…please share your thoughts below!

Thursday is a BIG day in the Big Brother house since two HGs will be evicted! But the Big Brother feeds still drive me nuts, and that’s a short ride on the Big Brother Bus! Most of the morning yesterday was spent with all 4 feeds on Brendon, cleaning the house, working out and remembering events in the house out loud to himself and giving messages to folks at home. BB actually thanked him for cleaning and taking out the trash – something none of the other HGs do! They’re all slobs and the house is a mess! They have nothing but time in between comps, you think they’d wash a glass! Instead, they hose down the counters with bug killer when they see ants and can’t figure out why they keep getting in!

I compare this set of HGs to the Wacky Racers and Penelope Pitstop. Poor Penelope (Britney) is constantly the victim of the Sylvester Sneekly (Ragan) and the Ant Hill Mob (Brigade). However, if Brains (Matt) leaves the house, the remainder of the Brigade will be more like Keystone Cops rather than a strong, tight group of serious competitors. They could really switch it up, include Brendon, keep Matt and vote out Meow Meow. Matt would be so grateful, he’d be sure to keep winning comps and then they could just vote out Ragan and Britney, and then let things fall where they may.

Later, we saw a very somber, depressed Matt who will probably leave the house Thursday – only to have another HG join him within 24 hours! He and Ragan have kissed and made up and they’re sort of BFFs again and Matt helped him study for the upcoming competitions. He also talked strategy and has been attempting to get Ragan to vote for him to stay. He’s working on the wrong HG because Ragan told him he won’t because it would put a huge target on his back. Even though he already has one.

With the exception of Britney having no clue that the “birdie” used in the Badminton set BB gave them was called a “shuttlecock,” last night was a typical Tuesday in the BB house. Lots of HG bashing, eating, drinking and a whole lot of whining and complaining. Is it just me, or does anyone else get a little angry when you hear these “reality” show contestants constantly say things like, “I gave up so much to be here,” or poor mouthing about how much they need the money, or how much harder it is for them than anyone else. It’s not like anyone twisted their arms, and most, like Matt & Ragan, tried out for the show several times before being accepted as an HG.

And here’s some Breaking News: Kristen’s Hippie Tard, complete with goofy wig is up for grabs on Ebay. She has over 80 bids and as of this writing (5:30 PST), the current bid is over $2,000.00! And speaking of Kristen, Ragan said last night that evicting her was his worst mistake in the house. In my view, his thinking that was even worse! =^^=
