So next week is Reality Rally weekend in Temecula California. I will try to post some pictures to our Facebook pages. Also if you go to the website www.realityrally.com and click on 2013 Reality Stars, you will see which stars will be attending. If you submit a question through the comments of this blog, I’ll do my best to ask the star and report back to you! Of course, any contestant who is currently appearing on a show, i.e., Phillip is not allowed to comment on anything that has to do with that show.

There are a number of items up for auction, please check that out through the Reality Rally Auction page. Definitely some fun mementos up for grabs!

If you live in southern California and want to attend Reality Rally, email me. I have some free tickets available.

Have a great holiday and spring break! Talk to you soon. Bloggergal

As you may or may not know, last night was the Big Brother 14 Finale Wrap Party in Hollywood California. This party is sponsored by Superpass which is the website that gives us the Live Feeds. There were three camera areas at this party. Kevin Campbell was by the door and was interviewing the Reality Stars as they entered the party. Carrie (Spicy) Milburn along with (who was that guy?) were also conducting interviews. My inside source tells me there was also a VIP Room where only Reality Stars were allowed to hangout. This explains why the third camera that was just overlooking the room rarely showed Reality stars. As I mentioned in yesterday’s comments, I loved this camera because I was able to see a lot of friends in the crowd. Since they weren’t really aware of the camera, I caught some priceless moments!

Most of this years house guests were in attendance. Britney, Mike Boogie, Joe, Kara and Willie were not at the party. The only one whose name did not come up when talking to my sources and also while watching the Live Feed was Jenn. I did finally shut the feed down at 2:00 a.m. est which was only 11:00 p.m. at the party.

Of course, Ian was the center of attention. My sources say he was extremely gracious, very sweet and totally unaffected by his new-found fame. He took the time to really concentrate on the person he was talking to. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case with “famous” people or in other words people who are dealing with fans.

Those of you who watched the Live Feeds know that Wil was of course Mr. Personality. It is so strange how he didn’t show that much personality on the show in the beginning. We could have had an amazing time watching him strut his stuff all season.

Dan seemed to be pretty elusive all night. I did hear that he made extra effort to connect to his fans but he wasn’t really into the “scene” as much as some of the others.

Danielle originally said that she wasn’t going to attend the party, but she was there and of course she was draped all over Shane. My sources say that he seems to like her, but I don’t see this relationship surviving REAL life.

JoJo made sure she received a lot of attention by wearing a dress that had spikes on the boobs. I asked what these spikes were made of and sure enough they were metal. The Jersey girl who sounds a lot like Fran Drescher “The Nanny” said, “You can look, but don’t touch.”

Ashley admitted in her interview that she was on pain pills for most of her experience in the BB house. Also, if you remember, she was looking forward to meeting Howie and he seemed to be taking full advantage of that. His hands were roaming. At one point he asked her if she wanted to go make out on the couch. I thought that was pretty funny.

I heard that Janelle was a little bit distant. She says hello and all, but you don’t really feel she’s connecting directly with you. I always think she comes across kinda fake, but definitely beautiful!

Jodi was there. This was the only exposure Jodi has gotten in her Big Brother experience. I can’t imagine how frustrated she is to go through the whole process and then only last a few hours. She was hinting that CBS should give her another change and I agree with her.

Frank seemed to be a genuine type guy in his interviews. He said he didn’t realize how many times he blinks until this was pointed out to him on the show. Wil does a pretty good impression of him, blinks and all.

Aside from this year’s house guests, there were a number of Reality stars at the party. Among those spotted were Jen (of EVEL Dick fame), Bucky, Adam Poch, Cowboy Mike, Lydia, Danielle Donato with BF Dominic Briones, Rachel and Brendon (newly married), Jeff and Jordan and Michelle Noonan to name a few. Survivor was also well represented including Gillian Larson, Yau Man and Philip “The Specialist” Sheppard. The Glass House’s Gene Bryant was also at the party.

My favorite Fun Fundraiser Reality Rally had a number of promoters present at the party. Every house guest from this year was given a card and hopefully will join the event which will be coming up in April of next year. Already a number of stars have signed on. You can check that out with this link: Reality Rally 2013 If you are a Reality TV junkie, this event would be well worth your while. If you have a favorite Reality TV player, help them out by donating on their Reality Rally page. Throughout the Survivor season, I will be interviewing a number of Reality TV stars about themselves and their connection to Reality Rally. So check that out.

So that’s it for Big-Brother-Blog 2012! I’ll be hanging out with those of you who are Survivor fans. Thanks for all your support. I really, really love the Big Brother Blog family. You are the greatest. See you next summer. Bloggergal

Last night’s finale of Big Brother 14 cleared up some things for me. Let’s review. We were shown that prior to the first part of the HOH competition, Dan pulled Ian aside and asked him to throw the competition. His reasoning was that he (Dan) could not beat Danielle in the second part of the competition, but Ian could. Ian agreed to this. Then, Dan went to Danielle and told her that he had convinced Ian to drop in the first part of the competition. He told Danielle that when she saw Ian drop, she would know that he was being honest with her. Well, sure enough, Ian dropped at the 17 minute mark. Dan then convinces Danielle to drop telling her in essence the same thing he told Ian. He (Dan) didn’t think he could beat Ian in the second part of the competition. This set up the second part of the competition…Ian versus Danielle.

This competition involves scurrying (yes I used the word scurrying!) up a wall, finding the house guest pictures and placing them in order of eviction. The winner is the HG who finishes the quickest. Ian beats Danielle with about a minute to spare. Once again, Dan has engineered a plan. He “accidentally” lets Danielle see him and Ian celebrating after Ian’s win. Ian is PO’d with Dan and Danielle pretends to go ballistic on the two of them. She threatens Ian and tells him that she will taint the Jury against him. I’m still confused as to how this is supposed to help Danielle. What it does do is insure that Ian will pick Dan if he wins the final part of the HOH competition.

Now we are caught up and at the Live Show. The third part of the competition between Dan and Ian is questions. The questions involve deciding which answer an evicted HG gave when asked a particular question. I didn’t feel that Ian had an advantage in this part because the answers were not concrete. Word on the street was that Dan planned to throw this part of the competition so Ian would have to choose to evict Danielle, thus keeping his hands (relatively) clean. Yes, I am very aware that Dan’s hands are far from clean, but anyway…Ian does win.

Ian had to choose who to take to the Final Two and he picks Dan. I think this shows that Ian has integrity. There was definitely more of a chance for Ian to NOT win the money with Dan than with Danielle, but he stuck to his final two deal. Danielle is finally evicted from the Big Brother house.

The Jury is introduced on the Live Show and then Danielle is brought in. Since the live show continues Danielle never has the opportunity to talk to the Jury before the vote (unless she did during the commercials). Another interesting tidbit that I picked up during the Live Feed Backyard Interviews was that Shane never went to the Jury House. He was put in a hotel and sequestered alone until the Finale. That means he didn’t have the opportunity to talk to the Jury prior to the Finale either. Huh! We do see the Jury discussing who should win the money. I’m not sure when this scene was taped.

Next we have the questions from the Jury to the final two Big Brother contestants. I replayed this part because I feel that this was the deciding factor of the Jury vote. I read some comments that Ian was arrogant during the question and answer section. I think at this point in the game, if you aren’t arrogant you have a good chance of losing. You have to put yourself out there and do your best to take home the money. I think that when Dan said that he had stabbed practically every house guest in the back, he hurt his chances or maybe he hurt his chances when he stabbed every house guest in the back!

The question that seemed to clinch this thing was when Danielle asked Ian if he was aware that she and Dan had a Final Two alliance. Ian seemed really surprised at this and told everyone that Dan had given him his grandfather’s gold cross as collateral for sealing their final two deal. When Dan admits that he did plan to take Danielle to the final two, Ian is visibly shaken and keeps repeating to Dan, “Really? Really?” This was one of my favorite moments on the show last night!

To make a long story less long…the vote was 6 for Ian and 1 for Dan. Danielle voted for Dan to win the $500,000 because she said that she wanted to do what she said she would do and support Dan all the way. When she watches the show, I bet she’s going to change her mind. In fact, in the Backyard Interview, she is asked if she knew that when Shane was evicted, Dan whispered in his ear that Danielle was using him throughout the whole game. Danielle did her now famous jaw drop and asked the interviewer (Spicy), “did he really say that?” When Spicy said yes, Danielle was fuming and asked her to change the subject. Spicy also asked her if she regretted throwing the first part of the HOH competition and she said yes.

Also interesting during the Backyard Interviews was Shane. When asked about his continuing the relationship with Danielle, he said he didn’t think it would work because he lives in Vermont and she lives in Alabama. He said that if one of them had won the money, they would be able to afford plane fares, but at this point it didn’t look good for them. He seemed really upset when he talked about returning to Vermont with no job and no money. Spicy said that maybe something would come up and Big Brother will change his life, but he looked depressed and not convinced. When Spicy asked Danielle the same question, poor delusional Danielle replied that they would definitely be continuing their relationship. Me thinks its time for Shane to get an unlisted phone number!

I forgot to mention that America’s Favorite Player was Frank. The cutie played a good game and has a good personality so I think he was a good choice. I did want to see Jodi win because she was shafted by BB, but maybe they will take pity on her and let her play in a future game. Another aside is that CBS did announce last night that BB has been renewed for another season. So we have something to keep us occupied next summer. Yay!

By this time, it was after 1:00 a.m. on the East Coast and so I never did get to see the interview with Ian or Dan. I was bummed, but I do have to be able to get up each morning!

There will be one more blog for this season. I have a few friends attending the Big Brother Wrap Party tonight in Hollywood. They have agreed to “dish” a bit about it, so I will be back with those interviews late Friday or Saturday. As you know, BBBlogger and I have joined forces to work on Survivor this season. I’m really looking forward to only having to blog once or twice a week! LOL I’ll be heading over to the Survivor blog to recap last night’s show after signing off here.

I honestly know 100% who will win Big Brother 14 and why. Do you want me to tell you? Well, I am going to make you wait.

Tonight is the night where Big Brother 14 wraps up. Will we have our first 2 time winner? Will the quirky nerd prevail? Will Dan’s floater Danielle pull off a surprise upset?

At the end of the day I am having a hard time seeing this going any other way but DAN taking it all. He is not quite Will but he has made some amazing moves in this game when he was DEAD and used every trick in the book and some he pulled out of his booty to make it to where he is now…which is THE END!

I am not a huge fan of Ian but I give him props and respect for getting rid of Boogie and being entertaining to watch….I just do not want him to win.

So it does not matter what I want, or what I think, or what will happen tonight. All that matters is what you, the BEST GROUP OF PEOPLE AN OWNER OF A BLOG COULD ASK FOR! It is all about you…

So let’s VOTE! Please report to the diary room and VOTE for who you want to WIN Big Brother 14!

Peace, BBBlogger

PS: If you want to be on top of Survivor this year…Bloggergal and I are partnered up and ready to rock over at Survivor-Blog.com so consider joining us for offseason fun!

Last night’s Big Brother show was all about reminiscing. I wouldn’t have minded seeing things from the season that were never aired before, but this was just a repeat of all that happened this season and was aired on the TV show. For instance, we once again (for like the 10th time) got to see Willie going off on Joe. We saw Ashley and Ian’s date. We saw Ian and Frank’s fight. It just went on and on.

The only new thing we saw was the aftermath of Shane leaving the BB house. The diary room session with Danielle was shown and in there she states that she just doesn’t trust Dan anymore. We shall see what is really going on at Wednesday’s Finale show. I’m still rooting for Ian to win this thing! How about you? Bloggergal

So if you watched the recap show tonight (which drove me a little crazy since I kept saying…yep….I remember that!) you might have had a chance to remember and see things you might have missed or forgotten about! It was ok but seemed way to planned and way too scripted. I thought this was Big Brother and reality not…hey say this and preview this clip for TV. UGH! (Thanks CBS!)

So with all eyes on Wednesday night and the finale after the the premier of Survivor: Philippines there is not much but the FEEDS! *and with 3 people they are even a little boring!*

We will be rocking the blog’s comments with updates and stuff so be sure to be posted! More coming tomorrow!

Peace, BBBlogger

When Wednesday’s BB14 television show ended, Danielle was the new HOH. The only ones left in the BB house are in the Quack Pack, so the Quackers are about to break up. On Thursday night’s show, we see Dan tell Danielle what to do (once again). He tells her to put up him and Ian. This is what she wants anyway because she doesn’t want to nominate her boyfriend Shane. Dan is so confident that he won’t be voted off, he doesn’t mind being on the block. Since he has deals with everyone, he feels totally safe.

The POV competition involved solving a puzzle. There were blurbs about house guests and the HG’s had to connect the HG with their blurb. Some of the answers could be more than one HG so it was a bit challenging. Surprising to me is that Ian didn’t do well on this. I’m not sure why, but I thought for sure with his photographic memory he would sail through to the POV win, but no, Danielle pulled off the win. So that means that Danielle has won two of the most crucial competitions at exactly the right time. Who’d a thunk it?

Now once again Danielle has a decision to make. Whichever BB house guest that is not on the block will decide who gets evicted this week. Prior to the POV ceremony, this is Shane. However, Dan once again sprays his “mist” all over Danielle and convinces her to switch the nominations to Shane and Ian giving him the say as to who would go home. Even typing it, I can’t believe anyone could be so gullible and stupid. Even more gullible and stupid is Shane who AGREES to this. Danielle makes Dan swear over and over that he will vote Ian out.

At the POV ceremony, Danielle does what Dan told her to do and takes him off the block and puts up Shane. Ian was in total shock! Dan has played every single player in the BB14 over and over and over. Then the moment that all BB fans were waiting for, Dan votes off Shane. Danielle’s face is priceless!

Shane quickly leaves the BB house. I’m not sure if he did this so he wouldn’t punch out Dan or if he was afraid he’d start crying. You know for sure Danielle would have. In his interview with Julie, she asks him about Dan and he states that “Dan is just a dirty player.” The fans in the live audience cheer. I know it’s just a game, but I really feel Dan has played this game ruthlessly and I don’t think he should win the money.

Back in the BB house, Danielle is confronting Dan. She asks him how he could lie to her time and time again. He hands her a line that he did it for her. That he just insured that she wins $500,000. Really, Dan? Is that why you did it? You could just see the mist swirling around the room and into Danielle’s nostrils!

The ironic thing is that I really wanted to see Ian in the final three and there he sits! I just can’t believe how Dan got him there. Hopefully, all will be well and this ends well.

On to the spoilers. The first part of the HOH competition was held. It was an endurance competition. I haven’t heard the details yet, but I was very surprised to hear that Ian was out first. I hate to even type this part, but here it goes. Danielle and Dan were still competing and Dan talks Danielle into dropping so that he can win this first part of the competition. Now I’m not sure if Danielle was going to drop anyway, but she agrees and drops. Dan wins the first part of the HOH competition giving him a place in the final part of the HOH competition. What that means is that now Ian and Danielle will compete in the second competition. Traditionally this is a question-style competition. Ian and Danielle are pretty evenly matched so it should be interesting. By the way, Dan asked Danielle to drop because he didn’t feel he could beat Ian in the second competition.

The winner of the second competition will play Dan. That winner will be the HOH and chooses who will go to the Final Two. Dan has told both Danielle and Ian that he will take them to the final two. What does this mean? Sadly, I really think that if either Ian or Danielle win, they will take Dan to the final two. If they do, then Dan does deserve to win the $500,000. Hopefully, they will finally realize that they’ve been played time and time again and take each other leaving Dan out in the cold and me cheering. I think if Dan wins the HOH, he will take Danielle to the final two because Ian has a lot of friends in the Jury House. We just never know what’s going on in Dan’s mind, unless of course he looks into the camera and tells us.

Traditionally, Big Brother players vote for the best player and put aside their resentment and revenge. Will this year be the same? I think that Dan played a ruthless game and now I think the BB players should also play ruthlessly. Shaft Dan and give the money to the house guest sitting next to him! Oh and one more thing…wear a gas mask to the Finale!!!

Have a great Friday…TGIF…Bloggergal

Even though we are far past last night’s show, here’s the recap. Julie interrupted the house guests to tell them that “surprise, surprise!” the eviction would be in a little while and then the HOH competition would be held. This happened on Tuesday.

As the house guests prepared for the live (taped) show, we watch the POV. At this point, Ian is the HOH. Nominated for eviction are Shane and Jenn. Dan and Danielle are the other two remaining HG’s. All will play for the POV. Those of you that watched The Glass House this summer know that CBS totally ripped off one of their games for this POV competition. It involved jumping from one platform to another while putting a puzzle together. To try to disguise the game, CBS used timers to make it seem different. As we all know by now, Shane won the POV.

It really bothered me to see Ian trailing after Dan into one of the rooms after the POV ceremony. Dan sure does spread that “mist” that Britney was talking about. Deep down, I keep hoping that instead of Dan “playing” Ian that Ian has some incredible plan and he is “playing” Dan. A girl can dream, can’t she?

Along with winning the POV, Shane received a luxury prize. He had the opportunity to leave the BB House to attend an Olympic Gymnastics performance and he was able to take one HG with him. He chooses Danielle. They have a cute first date, but I can’t help wondering if he’s playing along for the cameras and for his game. Actually, I really think that’s what he is doing. I wonder if they had the opportunity to talk game or if BB prohibited them from doing so? No game talk during the date was shown.

At least Shane was smart enough to use the POV on himself. Ian had to nominate another HG and he nominates Danielle. That means that either Jenn or Danielle will be evicted. Ian is an idiot for not putting up Dan. I keep trying to figure out his thought process on this, but I can’t. All he had to do was get Shane and Jenn on board with a separate alliance. Ian is stubborn and is sticking to the Quack Pack to the bitter end and I do mean bitter!

After reading Ian’s HOH blog, I think I understand Ian a little better, but that doesn’t mean I agree with him. He goes on and on about his creating the best alliance in BB history with the Quack Pack. Evidently, this was something he thought about and planned for quite awhile before entering the BB house. However, he is sacrificing himself at the expense of saving his Quack Pack. Silly, silly boy. He really believes that it is him and Dan (Renegades) against Danielle and Shane (Showmance). I don’t think this whole Dan playing such an evil game would bother me that much if it wasn’t for Ian. Ian has had to overcome a lot in his life and I just hate to see him not win this. I don’t understand how Dan can be so cruel as to lead this kid (because that’s what he is–a kid) on.

It was interesting to see Jenn speaking out against Dan. She didn’t seem to be taken in by the mist. Now, this doesn’t mean that the other HG’s don’t have reservations about Dan. It means that the producers haven’t shown us if they do or not. It’s all in the editing baby!

With a vote of 2 to 0, Jenn is evicted from the BB House. Since the eviction was a surprise, she doesn’t get House Guest goodbyes. Julie surprises her with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich since she was eating slop for weeks. She immediately begins wolfing it down. If you are a BB diehard you know that before slop the HG’s would get “punished” with only being able to eat peanut butter and jelly.

Let’s move on to the HOH competition. I had questioned this and we were receiving conflicting opinions, but Ian was NOT able to compete. Not being able to compete in this competition really puts a crimp in his game, not to mention that it was a memory one and he would have slayed the competition. The HG’s had to remember pictures that they had seen earlier in the day. Julie would read a statement and they had to decide if it was True or False. Dan and Danielle tied and had to play a tie breaker. I hate those tie breakers because they really are just one big guess. Danielle played it smart and picked a very low number hoping that Dan would go over and that is exactly what he did! Danielle becomes the new HOH and thus secures her place in the Final Three.

That’s it for the television show, now onto the spoilers (she says while rubbing her hands together with glee!). Danielle now has to choose who will be put on the block, her boyfriend or her coach. It doesn’t really matter much because the winner of the POV will hold all the power this week. She puts Ian against Dan. The POV competition is held and guess who wins? Danielle! I know, right? LOL

Now once again all the power is in Danielle’s hands. She will choose who secures the second place in the final three. That player will cast the lone vote for who will be evicted and who will have the third place in the final three. Simple, leave the nominations the way they are and throw the ball into Shane’s court, right? Wrong. Danielle is now considering removing Dan from the block and putting Shane up so that Dan is the one to have “blood on his hands”. What??? I really want Ian to be part of the final three, but I also don’t want to see Danielle play right into Dan’s hands. So I’m torn. You see if she does pull Dan down, word on the street is he will keep Ian and evict Shane. Most likely this is because there will be an endurance competition and he thinks he has a better shot against Ian than Shane. In endurance, I personally think Danielle, Shane OR Ian are likely to beat Dan.

We are almost at the end of this BB season. I can tell because it’s getting a little chilly at night here in Georgia. Next Wednesday is the BB14 finale. Then we move on to Survivor! Bloggergal

xxoo Happy Birthday JT!!! xxoo
