And then there were 3…
The tension was high in the BB house yesterday! Michele was getting physically sick about the live show and Kevin & Natalie were individually going back & forth with Jordan to take her to the Final 2. Jordan makes a deal with Kevin saying she’s with him 100%, then runs off and tells Natalie what Kevin said! Well played Jordan…well played.
As expected, Kevin voted off Michele ignoring her final pleas to remain in the house and her threats of jury tampering. Natalie thinks he did it all for her. This season is all about her; right? She’s entitled to this win, she’s owed this win and Kevin needs to succeed in the comps, step aside to give it to her in all her “blown-up crowned” glory. If something doesn’t happen on Thursday, we may have to face it together… Natalie could win Big Brother 11.
Kevin won the first of the HOH competitions after Jordan dropped and Natalie voluntarily jumped off – after Kevin’s promise to take her to Final 2. She will basically go through the motions for these competitions because she’s already spending the 500K. I was really hoping the producers would toss an ice block at her to *whoopsie!* knock her off the log and call it an accident. 
After the comp she bragged about how she could have lasted double what she did. Why didn’t anyone ask her: “Why didn’t you?”
Kevin’s competitive spirit has really come out in recent weeks and if he wants to evict Natalie, he’d better win this final HOH. He’s strong with house trivia and has proven his focus for endurance. If he could get rid of Natalie, he wouldn’t have to hear that chirp-turned-squawk in his ear anymore.
And assuming applause, Natalie says: “America, you hear that? He is taking me to the end!!!” Or is he? There can still be deals made and solidified before Thursday. Who wins? And who will they take to Final 2?
But before you answer that, how about this: How much do you love this blog? How much fun do you have chatting up strategies, criticizing the HG’s and outguessing the BB house? Well, the season is nearly over and I would like to make a polite request of a donation to BBBlogger for all he does for us. I know times are tough, but every little bit helps. There’s a small donation button near the center of the screen. Maybe consider using it today to say Thank You to our fearless leader. Just sayin’…

Just want to let you all know that tonight with a week left, once there are 3 house guest left they will start a 3 part final HoH competition! Part 1 is usually an endurance competition so we can expect that is what they leave us with tonight.
Sooo….
That means that once the cameras fade to black, people will jump on the feeds, jump online, try to find out what is going on.
Since I run 3 very high traffic websites on this server….chances are…it will be SLOW and at times DOWN. It is the price for running popular Big Brother website. Just know that we are here and keep trying…
Lastly, if you are on Twitter….follow @TweetTheFeeds and we will keep you in the know who is winning and what is going on!
So….get ready to comment and watch as the FINAL 3 duke it out!
Peace, BBBlogger

Four HG’s remain. Final 2 combinations are few. The Big Brother Finale is a week from today! Even still, paranoia was hitting Natalie hard last night as she became more and more distrusting of Kevin and what he’ll do on Thursday! She was even yelling and threatening Big Brother to the point where there were lots of fish on the screen for a while!
We can say what we want about Kevin, but he’s really thinking this through. And he knows it all depends on the jury votes. I think Kevin would win with America’s tie-breaking vote if he’s up against Natalie. We may not agree with Natalie’s “strategy” but like I said before, whatever it was, it worked! And what if it were a man doing the same thing? Would we all be as critical? Just sayin’…
With that, I’d still like to see Natalie voted out before Final 2…then sent to the jury house… and watch as she (cue the music please…) gently breaks it to Jessie that she’s engaged… and he *sniff* *sniff* has no chance with her. Then see her shocked face when he says, “Oh…whatever…” and goes back to admiring his biceps! I think he’s completely oblivious of how she thinks he feels about her in the BB world according to Nat.
The POV ceremony was held yesterday and Kevin used the POV on himself, so Michele & Jordan now sit on the block. Natalie wants Michele out – period. I think ultimately he’ll abide by Natalie’s wishes and take Jordan to Final 3. And it could be because Kevin is seriously thinking about taking Jordan to Final 2. Kevin may vote out Michele for his own purposes, but it would be a win/win for him since Natalie would think he did it for her.
Jordan was very well liked in the house, but Kevin could easily win over her after the jury’s dislike of Jeff. We’re getting closer to the end here, so tell us what you’d like to see happen before the CBS curtain closes on Big Brother 11.

Yes, Big Brother, we are still watching and trying to be good little commentators. And one small bright light was seeing that Kevin does know Natalie for who she is. But as Natalie rode the cape of Super Jessie, so does Kevin ride the HOH robe of Natalie to further himself in the game. He’s very lucky that he won POV, since his partner opted for time with her boyfriend instead of helping him to victory. But was it because she wanted to see him or because she (again) just didn’t care about the comp?
On a side note…if CBS really wanted to make the HG’s “annoyed” all they had to do was put Chima’s voice over loudspeaker or put Jessie’s flexing on a big screen. They could have saved money on the baby costume & talent fees.
Under the “is it just me category,” am I the only one who was surprised by Natalie’s reaction to her boyfriend? I would think there would have been joyful tears and affection toward seeing a loved one after being cut off for the last two months. And when he got down on his knee and proposed marriage to her – he choked up a little, but she seemed not to care unless he handed her a “Monty Hall” over-sized check instead of a twist tie, makeshift ring. I’m sure it may have been awkward since it was televised, but it seemed completely emotionless & staged to me.
And instead of sharing the news of her “engagement” Natalie’s default is set to “lie” first, which is what she did to the HG’s. Natalie could put the game on hold long enough for a fashion show…for collecting money in the yard…for gathering clothes in the house for the “luxury” comp…for spending hours and hours coming up with hateful nomination & POV speeches…but she appeared to be happier about the sushi than spending extra time with her boyfriend. I think it’s clear where the priorities are in her life and he’d better run for his!
Much of the feeds and BBAD contained some interesting dialogue and content. There were some cute Q&A’s between Michele & Jordan. Jordan is afraid to fly, and the subject of the Hawaii trip with Jeff came up. Michele’s answers were thoughtful and funny. The entire segment was actually kind of sweet. Meanwhile, Natalie was planning her POV speech. Wait…her speech? Kevin won, so isn’t he the one who gets to give a speech? Well, not in the technicolor world of Natalie.
I think the twists are done and Pandora’s Box was disappointing…so I ask you…do you think Kevin will decide to keep Michele for his own end game instead of worrying about the wrath of Natalie? Do you think Jordan would be all that upset if she’s voted out? After last night’s episode, have you changed your mind about Natalie?
by Big-Brother on September 6, 2009
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind (on the wall)…(deviant) smiles they gave to one another…oh the way they were!
I just couldn’t help it! Things in the BB house appear so grim and many of you have decided to leave the show and the Big Brother Blog! I understand. I thought about packing it in, too, but after investing our summer in this game, let’s grit our teeth and see it to the end. Next year has to be better; right?
Now that Kevin has won the POV, he’ll take himself off the block and Jordan will be his replacement. As sweet as Jordan is, she simply cannot win challenges. Kevin will vote to evict Michele and then they’ll squash Jordan like the ants they’ve been battling before high-fiving their way to the Final 2. Apparently Natalie did not participate in the POV. Pretty sure she was offered money in exchange.
Yesterday, Natalie told Kevin that Jessie will be “destroyed” that she’s engaged, “No dude, you don’t know how much he was into me. And I left him a goodbye message saying that he could never have me, and now I’m engaged. I’m afraid he’s going to take it bad.” Best laugh I’ve had in years, but she’s serious! However, the rumor is that she didn’t see her boyfriend, she actually got to speak with Jessie who informed her that he was not going to vote for her to win. I don’t think we’ll ever know the truth about Natalie. I don’t think Natalie knows the truth about Natalie!
Michele will continue to take her pleas to Kevin to work with him in order to remove Natalie’s chances of winning the 500K. Kevin will tell her he’ll “think about it” then run upstairs and blab the whole conversation to Natalie so they can have a great big laugh at Michele’s expense – over and over again – their favorite activity. But Michele will soldier on in order to save herself and wouldn’t it be nice if she did?
I hope Kevin finds a way to cleanse himself of Natalie cooties. Yesterday, he finally put his foot down and told Natalie that he was just going to have a “normal” POV ceremony instead of the nasty-gram he was planning on delivering. And with everything else going on in the house, the HG’s really appeared to all have fun with each other in last night’s “fashion show.”
The tiny table now has just four chairs. Our Big Brother house will be down to Natalie, Kevin and Jordan on Thursday, unless Michele can change Kevin’s mind. But it is only a game. And this season reminds me of a delicious plate of hot, spicy, yummy Mexican food. The good stuff is gone, and all that remains is that corn cake that no one eats.

And what have you done with our show?
It appears it’s been hi-jacked and it’s barely recognizable. Who are these people in our house, playing our game?
As the new HOH, Natalie decided to nominate Kevin & Michele for eviction so Michele leaves the house. Apparently, her well-practiced eviction speech was laced with venomous statements toward Michele as she donned the HOH bathrobe and a crown. She spent at least half a day thinking of variations of humiliation for Michele and how she, herself has played this game “without losing my integrity or lying.” Is she really convinced of that? Either way, she told Jordan that she expects her to vote out Michele.
Thankfully, there is the POV which could hopefully backfire for Natalie. Jeff already told Jordan to team up with Michele and I really hope she does. But her kindness may be her downfall because she shares TMI with Natalie. I wonder what would happen if Jordan won the POV and used it on Michele? With no one left to nominate, Kevin leaves; right? I’d like to see that if only for the entertainment value of Kevin’s final days in the BB house with Nat!
It seems Pandora’s Box came back into play, but the details are unclear. I couldn’t quite piece it together, but there are rumors that it’s not over yet either. That could be how/if Natalie was able to see her boyfriend and get a twist tie engagement ring. That’s what she’s telling the HG’s. She also said that he told her, according to the blogs, that she’s “hated” in the house. So maybe she did see him. You can’t tell what’s true when it comes to Nat, but if her boyfriend is reading from this blog, this could be one truth she’s telling!
I’d still like to see her leave the BB house and go off to infect the jury fun house. This is one person who needs a lesson in humility. That’s just me, though, and I have to admit that her nasty strategy has put her in the Final 4 and there’s no denying that it has worked for her. But for me the extent that Natalie has taken her game is beyond anything remotely respectable. There are more honorable ways to win this game. And for her to tell Jordan to vote for her in Final 2 because she’ll “have to pay for a wedding”…she may as well have just told Jordan to her face that Jordan doesn’t stand a chance of winning this game.
Okay commentators, let’s have it! We’re so close to the end, we’ve invested the summer on this BB house, so how do you want to see the game play out?
by Big-Brother on September 4, 2009
Anyone? Aw…come on! Hellooo? Is anyone out there? OMG! Are all the viewers gone? Did I hear a *click*? I swear I thought I heard a *click*.
After Jeff’s final plea to remain in the BB house fell on Natalie’s deaf ears, Kevin’s tie-breaking vote evicted this years’ favorite player. Jordan’s reaction was solemn, probably having already resigned herself to the fact that he’d be leaving. She didn’t fall over in a pile of tears, she remained strong even as her BFF walked out the door to the first standing “O” of the season.
I believe Natalie was always a sore loser, blaming the game, circumstance or others for her failure to win. And now we see that she is an ungracious winner as well, heralding Chima and revenge for Jessie. I was especially humored at her claims of “always” having kept her word which no HG has ever consistently done in the BB house. Yet Natalie believes her delusion of honor will have her skating to the bank with 500K.
It’s anyone’s game at this point, but now I have decided to pull for Michele, but I would not be disappointed if Jordan won. I believed that Kevin was the “dark horse” in this game, but his clinging to Natalie will probably lead to his ultimate eviction. Natalie may convince Kevin that she has to put him on the block “so the others don’t think we’re still together” which is what she said to him last week. Duh! Everyone knows they’re together. But if she chooses that, and either of them wins POV, it’ll be Jordan & Michele on the block and one of them will assuredly go to the jury fun house, placing Natalie and Kevin in final 3.
I was personally grateful that the trip down Jury House Lane was a quick one. How many times do we need to be treated to Jessie’s shirt rip display? I was actually happy to see Russell. Lydia? Not so much.
Regardless of the final two, if America gets to vote, they’ll need to ask for it before the end of the game in order for there to be time for the votes to be recorded, tabulated & finalized.
But could you imagine?
Natalie & Kevin Final 2: 2 Cents
Jury votes and it’s a tie: 6 Cents
America votes for Kevin to win: 500K
The look on Natalie’s face? Priceless
For me…it’s ABN, people. ABN. Anybody But Natalie. As Kevin said, “The word ‘lie’ in in her name.” What say you?

It is Thursday morning and tonight either Jordan or Jeff will be leaving the Big Brother 11 house. This is when I open up a post just for you to cast your vote to evict.
As it is in the Big Brother house, sometimes the 2 nominated house guests are friends and people you do not want to see go. This is when you have to think GAME and you have to chose one to walk out the door after eviction.
So who will it be?
Jordan who has been poor at competitions and skating by relying on Jeff’s guidance and assistance.
Or
Jeff who is a threat at most competitions and a strong player.
Personally, I think Jeff will be walking out of the house tonight. If Kevin, Natalie and Michele know anything about this game that is the most logical move. However, this is Big Brother and who knows what will happen tonight!
So the diary room is yours…please cast your vote to evict!
Peace, BBBlogger
PS: also vote at Big Brother Fans for a chance to win an Apple iPod! 3 polls to earn points and most points at the end of the season wins an iPod! Good luck!

I have blogged about Big Brother for about 5 years now and I have never seen 2 house guests that America loves so much as Jeff and Jordan. In every poll I have put up…Jeff dominates…and Jordan is usually 2nd!
I even know happily married women who profess their undying love for Jeff just from watching this season of Big Brother. Crazy eh…
So with Michele doing the only thing she could do which is take herself off the block and solidify her final 4 position, Jordan was then put up in her place causing millions of fans to scream NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
So like it or not Jeff or Jordan is leaving the Big Brother house. My favorite part about this has been all the crazy ideas and scenerios that have come up. One has been about another VETO, one about another Coup d’Etat, one about America voting off who should go and another about Jordan leaving the house for Jeff. All very entertaing for sure!
So like it or not….one of the 2 will go. Game wise I think Jeff is out. Personally I would love to see Jeff stay and partner with Michele. (I want Michele to win it all still) So I am curious….what do you want to see? Who is leaving this week? Give me the final 4 scenerios you see and how Big Brother 11 is going to wind down?
Peace, BBBlogger
PS: still time to win an iPod at Big Brother Fans with 3 new polls up. Vote now since they close on Thursday before the live show!

Are we all suffering from BBFS? Big Brother Fatigue Syndrome? Seriously, it’s a new thing! The “slap chop” guy was promoting it just last night! No….really… Oh, okay, just a bit of humor for our clever commentators!
Reading your posts and watching everything Big Brother makes me believe that we are rather annoyed with all the remaining HG’s. Instead of being excited about these last few weeks, it’s more like, “eh? What else is on?” Am I “off beat” or does this group seem much more vicious in their trashing of each other than past seasons? It’s my humble opinion that we’re all just a tad disappointed – okay a LOT disappointed in our Final 5 and that appears to be reflected in your posts.
But here’s something I was thinking about last night. Okay…it’s a stretch, but stay with me here…maybe Jeff is “acting” defeated and “pretending” he’ll be evicted when in possible reality – he already knows that the Pandora’s box key actually keeps him safe from eviction. It seems that most of us really like the Dyn-o-mite team of JJ and maybe CBS is afraid of the collective *click* of the channel switch they’ll hear if Jeff, the most popular player this season, is evicted. After all, this IS Big Brother! They control everything about this game. That’s the definition of Big Brother! Just like this board…Big Brother is watching…it’s a thought and maybe a hope that Jeff will be around to see Final 2.
In the meantime, the veto was used by Michele – on Michele, of course. The mean spirited plot Natalie cooked up fell flat, and it wasn’t even strategy, it was just villainous. Now Jeff & Jordan sit on the block together, side by side. Someone’s going home. Jeff has resigned himself for eviction and is disappointed in who he has become as a person in this game. He said he can’t even look at himself in the mirror due to his behavior.
Kevin & Natalie, the high-fiving squirrels, are thrilled at the future accolades they’ll receive from the jury house castaways. The trash talk continued and the forming of some new, but sort of unrealistic alliances, took place as well. If Natalie and Kevin make it to the Final 2, Natalie may not win because she knows the jury probably likes Kevin over her. But she believes she can win over Jordan or Michele.
I still think Kevin is conflicted. I think he wants to make the right moves, but he’s just not sure what those are. Although he talks a big game to Natalie and has her assurance that Jeff is out this week, it would be nice for him to make a bold move of evicting Jordan. If he took Jeff to Final 2 with him, he has a better chance of winning the 500K.
Jordan is campaigning for Jeff to stay and for the HG’s to vote her out. She believes he’s done all the work (you don’t say…) and deserves to stay over her. But she is making plans for a Final 2 deal, which is smart because she probably won’t be evicted this week.
Michele is playing solo – ostracized by the other HG’s. The only time she was allowed to “hang” with the “cool kids” was when she was sitting on a toilet seat suspended from a metal structure. No one in that house has really stepped up to play with her, try to be her friend or attempt a true alliance. She said yesterday that she felt like Zach from Season 8. So props to her for forging ahead, holding her own and making it to the Final 4.
What’s to come for our Houseguests? And what about us, the viewing audience? Surely CBS must have something up their network sleeve by way of entertainment. I’m hoping for a huge, shocking twist! How about you?
