Am I the only one confused by what is going on in the Big Brother house? Kalia decided to put up Jeff and Rachel, but she tells Jeff she knows he can win the Veto and pull himself off. Huh? I still can’t see the logic in that decision. Then when Jeff wins the Veto, Lawon volunteers to be put on the block AND evicted. Once again, huh? What could he possibly be thinking?

Rachel is still whining about Danielle separating her from her precious Brendan. Really, Rachel? Last time I checked the show is called Big Brother not the Brendan and Rachel show. Grow up, already. If you want to win this game, you have to play it. Everyone is very sick of your “poor little me” routine.

Shelly is playing Big Brother big time. She tells everyone what they want to hear and no one is targeting her at all. She campaigned very hard to have Porsche placed on the block so that Rachel can stay in the house. She keeps walking that fine line between the two groups. I have to admit, I can’t wait till she falls off.

Jeff barely beats Adam in the Veto competition. That was a surprise. Maybe Adam does have a competitive gene or two. Adam shaves for his 40th birthday and he looks way better without that scruffy stuff on his face. I won’t comment on his hairy back though.

Porsche was very close with Rachel, but when Rachel went looney, she started hanging out with Danielle and Kalia. If they are together that would put Adam in a very important spot. If he sticks by Jeff/Jordan/Rachel/Shelly, they have total control, but if Adam goes the other direction and votes with Danielle and Porsche (assuming Porsche has changed to that side), then the voting would be tied and Kalia would pick who is evicted this week.

At least the game is finally getting a little interesting. Can’t wait to see what happens tomorrow night, especially with the competition after the eviction. See you then! Bloggergal

The minute you get “smug” in Big Brother (Kalia) is the minute you seal your fate and find yourself on the outside looking in. It’s nice to win HOH and you should be proud of yourself, but next week is a new week and whoever you are, you will NOT be HOH. So, a little humility will go a longer way.

The Have/Have Not competition resulted in Jeff/Jordan/Shelly/Rachel losing. Jordan was really upset because she felt it was her fault, but I think Shelly threw the competition. I’m not sure why–maybe she didn’t want to have to chug the drink? America voted for the Have Nots to get Coconut and Catfish for the week, which isn’t a bad thing really. I love coconut and catfish can be delicious, especially if you can get Jeff to prep it!

Kalia gets this brilliant(???) idea that she is going to nominate Rachel and Jeff for eviction. Her plan is to put up Jeff because she is sure he can win the veto and take himself off. Huh? So then why put him up if he’s going to take himself off? Of course, Jeff and surprisingly Jordan too get really pissed off at Kalia. Jeff tells Kalia that she is now his number one target. Kalia, what exactly is your plan for the future?

Is everyone watching Shelley maneuvering behind the scenes and managing to steer clear of trouble week and after week? I don’t think you get to be a CEO of a company without smarts and some really cut throat tendencies. Just sayin’!

Have a good start to a new week. Send positive vibes to our country because we sure need them! Bloggergal

I can’t wait to see what Big Brother is going to focus on now that Brendan has left the building. I don’t think they even realize that there are a lot more HG’s besides Rachel and Brendan. Hopefully Rachel will go sit in the corner and stop, please stop, whining! So what are the chances that YOU, America are sitting there right now voting to give Brendan a chance to get back in this game? Please, please don’t do that. Let’s get this Big Brother game focused back on the game and off of that one couple. Enough really is enough.

Just in case you didn’t see the show, I’ll explain. One of the four contestants that have been evicted, either Cassie, Kevin, Dominic or Brendan will have an opportunity to face off against the house guest who is evicted this week. The winner will return to the house. America will decide which of the four will compete. So it’s up to you. The house guests know that the person evicted this week will have a chance to remain in the game. Of course, there is always the possibility that Rachel is evicted and America picks Brendan. That would pit Rachel against Brendan, but we all know what would happen don’t we?

Big Brother visited Evel Dick at his home in Denver, Colorado to see what he thinks of Danielle’s game play so far. Well, just like a bunch of you, he thinks she made her “big game move” way too early. He knows she was influenced by cutie Dominic just like she was influenced by Nick in Season Eight. He thinks she can win, but he thinks she has an uphill battle.

I was waiting to see how the voting would go. The only HG to stay loyal to Brendan was Porsche. I was surprised that she went against the whole house to stick by Rachel. At least she shows that she is loyal.

The HOH competition was a mind/speed thing. Kalia showed that she is here to play and worked her way through the competition to the win. I thought she was rather impressive! Danielle’s smile and Rachel’s tears pretty much sum up the end of this episode.

Have a good weekend everyone! Bloggergal

Wednesday night on Big Brother is Veto night. The veto competition is back the way it was before couples. The HOH and the two on the block get to pick a chip for one other person to compete. So, besides Danielle, Rachel and Brendan, we have Porsche, Adam and Jeff competing. These kind of competitions I think are the hardest. Each contestant had to decide how long it would take to complete a task based on previous competitions. The contestant who picks the lowest time has to prove that it can be done. The contestant who has the highest time will be eliminated if the contestant is able to complete the task within the predicted time. Well, to make a long story short, Adam is the first eliminated from the competition. Big surprise there, huh? Next to be eliminated is Rachel, followed by Danielle. Jeff tries his hardest and loses but he was really close. Brendan defeats Porsche and wins the POV.

Jeff and Jordan are understandably worried because either Brendan or Rachel will come off the block and they realize it will most likely be one of them put on the block. Brendan decides to lie to the entire house. He tells them he is going to pull himself off the block, when really he is going to pull Rachel off. This is kinda funny because he thinks this is going to upset Danielle, but really having Brendan remain on the block is exactly what Danielle wants. So during the POV ceremony, he gives Danielle her wish by taking Rachel off and Danielle puts Jordan on the block as a pawn. Even Jordan realizes that a pawn sometimes becomes the target. Things are definitely tense and it’s every man, woman and elf for him or herself!

I happened to spend a few minutes here and there on the live feeds and Rachel and Brendan are doing everything in their power to throw Jordan under the bus. I sure hope they don’t succeed because if I have to watch that couple in the house for even one more week, I’m going to pull my hair out! If you don’t have the live feeds, you also missed the Big Brother (fake) wedding of Brendan and Rachel. I have to admit, it was at least entertaining. I’m sure they will be highlighting it tomorrow night.

Speaking of tomorrow night, they announced that ED will make a special appearance on tomorrow night’s show. I wonder what that is about? Perhaps he’s hosting or appearing during the HOH competition? Another question I have is when is the fortune teller that lurks in the corner of that one room going to play a part in this season? There has to be something planned for her.

Have a great Thursday…Bloggergal

For those of you who don’t watch the live feeds, Big Brother started with a summation of the HOH endurance competition. I (guess?) that this competition was much easier for smaller builds because the women were able to last much longer than the males in this one. First one to fall was Adam with Lawon following a little while later. Third off the wall was Brendan and next was Jeff. This was not a good showing for the guys that’s for sure!

The first five who fell had to pick a snowball. One lucky snowball contained $10,000. Adam was first to pick and he was the lucky winner of getting to wear an elf suit for a week. Second to pick was Lawon and he picked a Have Not card. Next was Brandon and another Have Not Card. Jeff had a 50/50 chance at the $10,000 and he picks it. Jordan was the fifth to pick and she received a Have Not card also.

I have to stop here and comment (briefly) at how totally annoying Rachel’s voice was during this entire competition. Maybe she was doing it on purpose. I know I would have dropped off and ran into the BB house to get away from her nagging voice. Her totally one-sided cheering for first Brendan and then when he dropped, Shelly should definitely be her one-way ticket home.

There were four left on the wall…Porsche, Shelly, Kalia and Danielle. The power couples were starting to shake in their boots. When Porsche fell and they knew all their eggs were in the Shelly basket, the sweat started to bead on some foreheads. Teehee… I have to admit, it was extremely satisfying to see Kalia and Danielle as the final two on the wall after Shelly fell. Now here is where a question comes up. Should Danielle have made a deal (even though she didn’t really need one) with Kalia and let Kalia have the HOH so that she could compete next week? A lot of people think that is what she should have done. But, of course, we all know that she didn’t do that. Kalia handed Danielle the HOH win.

I have to say a word or two about Kalia. Yes, she can be annoying, but she definitely deserves credit for coming in second in the HOH competition. When Brendan/Rachel call her a floater, I have no idea what they are thinking. A floater, IMO, is someone who doesn’t try to win or influence or “play” the game. That describes Lawon and Adam, not Kalia.

So next comes the butt-kissing. There was plenty! Watching everyone kiss up to Danielle was extremely satisfying for her (I bet) and also for me! Danielle immediately told Jordan that she didn’t have to worry about being put up this week. Jordan wasn’t sure she could trust her. Jeff and Jordan met with her and made a deal that if they weren’t put up, she wouldn’t be put up next week. Now, who can you trust? They all agree, but are very cautious with each other.

Brendan and Rachel also went up to the HOH to see Danielle, but conversation was stilted and they didn’t help themselves a tad. When all was said and done, Danielle nominated Brendan and Rachel for eviction. Brendan says he will win POV and take Rachel off the block, but will he? We shall see this week. Have a good start to this new week. Bloggergal

The veterans’ alliance took a big hit this week when Jeff finally figured out that Danielle was going after him with Kalia and Dominic’s help. Why he ever thought that the two couples were going to waltz to the end of BB13 is confusing for me. Also handing the HG’s that nonsense about “just want to spend the summer with Jordan” is just that…nonsense. I think with the amount of money Jordan has they could have spent their summer on a beach somewhere drinking Margarita’s without any stress. Jeff wants to win–plain and simple.

Did anyone else notice that the HG’s don’t get all “gussied” up for the live Eviction this season? I don’t know if it matters…it was just something I noticed tonight. I guess that’s what boredom does. It makes you notice silly little things.

Julie made a big deal of announcing that all the HG’s are now playing for themselves and that the gold keys are gone. This was the twist? Huh? She did tease that the summer isn’t over and there are more surprises and twists to come. Most fans think this means someone will be coming back in the game. I wouldn’t be at all surprised for it to be Dominic. I think his relationship with Danielle and their efforts to oust the veteran’s makes for higher ratings.

As was highly anticipated, the HOH competition was an endurance. The HG’s had to hang on a wall on skis as they swished back and forth down an imaginary hill. The competition started during the show (East Coast time), so I was able to watch it live on the feeds. This is why you can’t live without the live feeds. It’s worth it for these types of competitions. Click on BBBlogger’s link to subscribe for the rest of the season.

I also watched the whole house meeting on the live feeds. I always get a kick out of the HG’s when they are surprised that this one or that one lied to them. What do they think the premise is of winning Big Brother? Of course you have to lie and lie and lie.

I’m sure the comments will tell you what happened in the HOH competition. All I can say is I was happy. I like when things get mixed up in the BB house. It should be a fun week. Bloggergal

With Rachel as HOH, Danielle thought it would be the perfect time to try to get the Rachel/Brendan duo to go after Jeff/Jordan. This would benefit her by not only keeping Dominic around, but getting out one of the four veterans. Unbelievably, Jeff and Jordan are again chosen for the Veto competition. I really don’t like this new setup. It leaves too many players with absolutely no chance to compete in too many competitions.

The Veto competition involved spelling the longest word by finding letters in a pool of bubbles. Dominic wasn’t trying to win the Veto because he told Rachel/Brendan that he wouldn’t win. What an idiot. You would think after 12 seasons of Big Brother that every single contestant would realize that the only way you can win is to WIN. Continuing their terrifying BB house reign, Brendan wins the Veto.

Dominic approaches Shelly to team up with him and Danielle to work to get a veteran out and Shelly runs right to Jordan and tells her everything. Of course, Jordan runs straight to Rachel and Brendan (with Shelly in tow) and the doodoo hits the fan. The end result is the two duo’s are closer than ever and they are going straight for Dominic with Danielle not following far behind. I’m not sure if Danielle really planned out her strategy or if keeping Dominic around because she likes him influenced her more and made her screw up.

Not at all surprisingly, Brendan doesn’t use the Veto. Dominic is so stupid. He really thinks that his deal with Brendan and Rachel is going to keep him in the house. Adam keeps his mouth shut and is hiding below everyone’s radar.

At the end of the show, they announce that there will be a new twist coming. What, oh what could it be? I sure hope it livens things up a little bit. Have a good Thursday! Bloggergal
