I liked the way Big Brother edited the whole Chima/Russell/Michelle thing so that we (at home) could see who actually said what.  Russell put Michelle on the spot by bringing her up with Chima and asking her to verify what she said.  That’s why you have to be careful about what you say and to whom!  Last night after BBAD, Russell was talking to Chima with the flirty grin on his face and he said “we were so close to each other we were almost making out”.  Then he touched her leg.  Was the fight real or was it staged?  Did you notice Russell’s face during the fight?

During the live show, Russell is dressed like he’s starring in The Soprano’s–all black clothing.  Lydia painted a black mask across her eyes.  I actually like it–it looks kinda neat!  Jeff was surprised and really excited about receiving the “coop”  LOL.  He thanked America and of course chose not to use it this week.  I was a little worried that he wouldn’t be able to keep his expression neutral but he did a good job.

When the nominees get to say their final plea, Ronnie tearfully speaks but then trashes Michelle.  If he had any chance of getting to stay, that speech finished him off.  Which of course was good because it was definitely time for him to leave.  Kevin voted to evict Ronnie.  Natalie and Chima and Jessie vote to evict Lydia.  Jeff and Jordan vote to evict Ronnie.  He’s evicted in a tight vote of 4 to 3.  Kevin’s goodbye message to Ronnie was awesome.  Kevin you are finally starting to show your personality!

As we all figured out, the HOH had to do with the advice that BB fans had given to the houseguests.  They had to answer True or False to a number of questions relating to that advice.  When all was said and done Chima was the new HOH.  Natalie and Jessie were thrilled, but wait for it you two–the week has just begun!

That’s the whole show.  See you all tomorrow.  Stay tuned…Bloggergal1

Currently, out blog has 174 votes to evict Ronnie and 21 to evict Lydia.  I guess it’s pretty clear who the majority want out.  It’s amazing that the BB producers found a contestant like Ronnie.  He portrays his clique image perfectly.  I really wonder how he is going to react when he reads all the comments about him.  I try to NOT hate him, but I can’t!

In case you haven’t yet heard, the fans’ comments were played repeatedly throughout last night in the BB house.  Also, there is a large button in the backyard that lights up when you push it, but nothing else happens.  No one knows what its significance is.  The comments from the fans are pretty funny.  One tells the houseguests that they need to brush their teeth.  My favorite is the one that says look at the player to the right and look to the player to the left–they are both lying!  Too funny!  I couldn’t hear all the comments, could you?

I just love Jordan and Jeff more and more every single day.  Jeff is so smart and sensitive.  He handles every situation just perfectly, knowing what to say to each houseguest to make them feel better.  On BBAD, he talks to Michelle when she starts crying and I’m so impressed with him.  Then he does the same with Kevin.  I’m driving my DH crazy because every time he’s on the TV, I can’t help but gush about how I love him!  LOL!

Natalie is PO’d with Jessie because he continues to spend time with Lydia even though Natalie doesn’t want him to.  Chima is the negotiator in the middle trying to mend the fences.  I think its great that Jessie is so concerned with his “girls”, takes his mind off the game (hopefully!).  Everyone is a bit paranoid in the house.  I think that’s inevitable with the situation.  Can you imagine being locked up in a house 24/7 with a group of people all trying to win a game?  You have no music, no TV, no news, no books.  I would be crying too!

Jessie is overplaying right now.  He’s trying to get everyone to go against everyone because he knows he’s in trouble if he doesn’t win the HOH.  What he doesn’t know is that he’s in trouble whether he wins the HOH or not!

So today is FINALLY the day that the power shifts!  I can’t wait to see what happens tonight.  I’m also looking forward to Jeff’s face when he finds out he has the “wizard power”.  He better have it!  It would be great to see him or Jordan win that HOH room, wouldn’t it?  They so deserve some spoiling!

Gotta get on with the day!  Enjoy your Thursday and stay tuned for the power shift…Bloggergal1

Big Brother After Dark shows Russell outside by himself while Chima, Jessie, Natalie, Michelle and Jeff are in the kitchen talking.  Jordan is outside working out.  Russell needs to get back in the game and also back in the kitchen.  Alienating himself from the other houseguests will definitely hurt him in the long run.  He and Chima fought, it’s over, now move on.

Ronnie knows everything or at least thinks he does!  Every time someone brings up a topic, there’s Ronnie with his textbook explanations.  Is it Thursday yet?

In the kitchen, they are talking about how they were picked to be on BB.  Ronnie says some tried out by sending a videotape, some went to an open call, some were recruited in a bar and some answered a Craigslist ad.  I know that Michelle answered a Craigslist ad because I remember hearing that before the show started.  They were looking specifically for really smart people and she decided to try out.  Right before BB takes the camera away, Chima says Russell was recruited in a bar.  I don’t know if that’s true or not.  While we are talking about HG’s, Lydia is always teasing everyone about having something in her past that she’s not allowed to say.  From what I found, she worked as a nanny for Paul McCartney and Heather Mills.  Jeff is no stranger to the camera, he has an IMDB biography and has appeared in a music video, TV shows and some movies.  Chima is a Hollywood reporter.  In the beginning when there were cliques, they made it sound like she is a “journalist”.  There is a bit of a difference between a journalist and a Hollywood interviewer!

Jeff goes out and sits (to smoke) with Russell.  Jeff talks to Russell about the Jury House and Russell doesn’t know anything about it.  He is surprised hearing that they get to go to a nice house somewhere but also seems surprised when Jeff tells him they won’t be able to talk or see their family.  Now that’s kind of weird isn’t it?  What that means is that Russell has never even seen Big Brother.  Really puts him at a disadvantage doesn’t it?

Russell is concerned about how his parents are going to react to his fight with Chima.  How cute is that?  Russell says that his father put a secret message in his letter because he tells Russell to remember the lessons he taught him in elementary and middle school.  When Russell came home from school upset about a boy picking on him, his father told him to beat him up and then go the next day and befriend him.  Russell feels that his dad was trying to tell him that even though he had a fight with Jeff, he should befriend him.

Lydia has a breakdown while talking to Kevin.  She keeps saying she’s “over” Jessie but if she really was then she wouldn’t be having a breakdown would she?  It’s sad to see her crying and talking about “cutting herself” because of him.  Are we raising our young women to react this way to jerks?  If Jessie is gay, wouldn’t you think Kevin’s gay-dar would kick in?  I’m not quite sure what the story is with Jessie.  But he’s definitely not worth crying over!  I read that Michelle thinks that Lydia is bipolar.  That would explain her quite frequent major ups and downs.  I would hope that BB wouldn’t take advantage of someone like that just to make a better show.

A funny video from last night shows Jeff and Jordan in bed while Ronnie is in the other bed talking and talking and talking.  Jeff and Jordan are making out and Ronnie, oblivious, just keeps talking.  Every now and then Jordan replies to Ronnie.

Kevin talks to Michelle about who he would nominate.  Kevin mentions Russell and very gently Michelle steers him right in the direction of Jessie and Natalie.  Finally, she’s getting smart about her game playing.

That’s it from me for today…enjoy your Wednesday and stay tuned…Bloggergal1

FYI.  BBBlogger owns and pays for this website.  He was looking for someone to help him with his blogs and I started helping him at the beginning of BB9.  I volunteer here, I don’t work here!  I do it because I love reality TV and the experience of blogging.  I also help him out with both his Biggest Loser and American Idol blog websites.  I’m able to do this because I’m a Virtual Assistant and I work from home.  I depend on all of you to fill me (and everyone else!) in about what’s going on in the Big Brother house.  I wish I had the time to watch 3 hours of BBAD and monitor the live feeds, but I have to work and I have a family to care for too!  I’m enjoying my experience here and I’m thrilled to see so many comments and regulars to this site.  Thanks to all of you!

It’s Monday…

I’m watching BBAD this morning and Chima is carrying on about Russell to Ronnie, Natalie and Jessie.  She’s not too smart for a “brain” is she?  It doesn’t matter who is lying in the Big Brother house because everyone lies.  What matters is who currently has the power and who will have the power next week.  Silly girl!

Last night, during the TV show, I watched Russell read his letter from his dad.  We should all be so lucky to have a dad like that, don’t you think?  He said, “I learned to be kind when I am right, merciful when I possess the power, considerate when I’m successful, humble when I win, finally thankful to have opportunities to live and grow.”  As Jeff said to Russell, after seeing what kind of family Russell comes from, he trusts him that much more.  Me too.

I’m still watching BBAD and now Chima is carrying on to Michelle about Russell.  Why on earth would she do that?  Can she be that stupid? Even Natalie and Jessie told her to shut up about it.

It will be interesting to see how the votes go on Thursday.  Will Jessie, Natalie and Chima vote to keep Ronnie against Russell’s wishes?  I don’t think it really matters because Russell knows that they are against him.  But it will be interesting to see what they do.

The comment about Ronnie getting the coup because his wife has “fixed” the voting scared me.  I still think that the American Idol vote was manipulated by computer voting.  I’m sure Ronnie knows his way around a computer and I’m sure he was smart enough to set some things up prior to going in the house.  So maybe a maximum of 10 votes each is for the best?  I heard Ronnie saying that he left URL’s with his wife so she could monitor what is going on with fans, etc.  Hmm, I wonder if he left our URL?  Hey, Ronnie’s wife…your husband will be home very, very soon.  Teehee.  Sorry, I just couldn’t resist!

I know this is gross, but did you ever notice that Jessie’s hands are always under his blanket?  Ewww.

Still monitoring BBAD…Jessie and Lydia are talking and he’s trashing Kevin.  Wouldn’t it make more sense for Jessie to try to befriend Kevin and Lydia?  Not that I want him to do that.  I’m happy that he’s alienating the HG’s one at a time!  Lydia, the other stupid female in the house is still flirting with Jessie. OMG!  He’s campaigning to keep Ronnie instead of her and she’s still flirting with him.  She just said to him that she could keep him safe if Kevin gets HOH.

Did I just see Ronnie with a face mask on?  Russell is so funny, he’s laying on the upstairs hallway floor and eavesdropping on Ronnie and Chima.  Also funny is that when Chima makes that screechy sound, my dog starts barking!  LOL

Thank goodness, Jeff is so level headed.  He’s the only one in the house that thinks logically and calmly.  Russell making the alliance with him is great for Russell because he’s too much of a hot head, so Jeff keeps him from going off.  Russell is trying to figure out how to get rid of Chima without hurting her feelings.  Russell and Jeff are worried about Lydia because they know she has a crush on Jessie and will do anything for him.

Jeff better get the coup.  I haven’t seen anyone say they aren’t voting for Jeff–either on our site or on other sites throughout the Internet.

Did you hear Chima and Ronnie talking towards the end of BBAD?  He said something about did Chima try out for BB11 and she said that she didn’t stand in an open call line.  Of course the next thing you hear is “Ronnie you are not allowed to talk about production.”  Chima says something about people being picked up off the street and Ronnie says he thinks Kevin and himself are minorities.  Of course the picture immediately switches off them.  What do you think all that means?

Have a great day…I have to work today (thank goodness–I need the money!)  Stay tuned…Bloggergal1

Happy Sunny (I hope for you!) Sunday!

Ronnie is so pathetic.  He’s begging and on the edge of tears with both Russell and Michelle.  His voice is shaking, etc.  Karma Ronnie…He  told everyone he will lie as much as he can to win the game.  How can he expect to win anyone’s trust?

Thanks for all the comments about Jessie eating.  I didn’t realize that squash looks so much like scrambled eggs!  LOL!  Too bad America didn’t know in advance that Jessie would be a “have not” this week.  I think he seems more like a Liverwurst and Black Licorace kinda guy!

Watching everyone kiss up to Michelle right now is fun.  She’s been “just there” and now she’s really important.  Good for her, but probably also bad for her.  Winning two POV’s in a row puts a bit of a target on her head. She’s made a deal with Jeff and Jordan to not use the POV and she also spent about 2 hours up in the HOH room with Russell.  That had a few HG’s shaking in their boots!

Speaking of Russell, he’s really grown on me.  He seems genuine and he doesn’t seem to be a Jessie/Nat puppet.  Hopefully, he and Jeff will stick together and get rid of Jessie and then next Natalie.  At that point, the game will change and we’ll be starting over.

It will be interesting to see what Jeff (it better be Jeff) does with the coup thingy.  Personally, I think he needs to take get Jessie out of the house before he gets a chance to win another HOH.  This is where the Big Brother producers have influence.  They can pick an HOH competition that is more suited to Jessie and Jeff or they can pick a non-physical competition and some of the gals will have a better chance.  I don’t think they fix competitions, but I do think they can kinda push them one way or another.  For instance, it was pretty obvious that someone like Russell or Jeff would win the endurance competition last week.

Catholicism seems to be playing a part in this year’s BB game.  Russell doesn’t like the way Ronnie throws religion and God around.  I hear (thanks Don) that Michelle told Russell that Ronnie said he reads the Bible in the house because its the only book there.  Things like that really PO Russell.  He’s very Catholic.  I know–who woulda thought?  Jeff is also Catholic and so is Michelle.  I’m not sure what religion Jessie is, but he overplays it and seems very insincere.  The day they showed him praying before he ate, I thought the screen froze because he was still for so long, but I could see Lydia’s eye’s blinking.  Then to top it all off, right before he started to eat, he remembered he forgot to pray for Lydia and prayed again.

The amount of comments yesterday was amazing!  Once again, thanks to you all for your help, support and community spirit!  We are a great group, aren’t we?  LOL!  I just have one thing left to say–go outside and get away from the computer for a little while!  LOL!  Not that I need to tell you, but nominations are tonight at 8:00 p.m.  Stay tuned…Bloggergal1

It’s Saturday morning and I’m sitting here watching BBAD.   Ronnie is scurrying around trying to convince everyone to keep him.  Frightening (at least to me) was Chima going up to the HOH and asking Russell why he wants Ronnie out more than Lydia.  Huh?  I hope he’s not falling for all this crap.  I knew that Chima would be hanging all over Russell (again) after he became HOH.  She’s flirting her butt off.  What happened to “I’m so over him”?

When Russell was asked by Jessie and Natalie who he would replace Ronnie with if he gets POV, Russell said Kevin.  PLEASE, make him be lying to them.  He wouldn’t do something stupid like that, would he?  Thank goodness for the coup–that seems to be the only way that Jessie is going to walk out the door.

The HG’s are worrying too much about who will “put them up”.  I think they need to worry more about who is the best at winning competitions and get those HG’s out of the house.

Jeff is so patient with Jordan.  She was just talking to him about purses.  I can’t imagine my husband and me having this handbag discussion!  LOL!  Although, my husband and I do discuss the prices of handbags/purses!  Teehee!  Every time I look at Jeff, I keep thinking how cute he is.  He was definitely a good choice Big Brother producers!  LOL!  He has no idea how much America loves him.  That just makes us love him more, don’t you think?

I think it’s really funny that BBAD puts those words across the bottom of the screen saying that the HOH will be revealed Sunday night.  I think if you are watching BBAD you pretty much know who HOH is don’t you?

Okay, help me again.  Why can Jessie eat now?  What did I miss?  He’s sitting in the kitchen eating eggs, etc.  I have to admit, I didn’t get a chance to read every one of your comments I guess I better go do that!

I’m going to sign off now and finish watching BBAD and also read all your comments.  I’ll catch up to you all later!  Have a great Saturday.  Not sure what my plans are yet, so I can’t make you jealous!  Stay tuned…Bloggergal1

PS.  Check out my “work in progress” blog at Learn To Save Any suggestions over there would be greatly appreciated!

BTW, for the record, I live in southern California for the last two and a half years, but I lived all my other years in PA.

Wow, quite a night huh?  As you all know by now, Jeff made a deal with Russell and dropped, giving Russell HOH.  Always the nice guy that gives in first.  I trust Russell and I think he’ll stick to his deal.  If I were him, I’d put up Natalie and Ronnie.  This way if one of them gets off at the POV, he can backdoor Jessie.  I bet Chima regrets not staying with Russell.  She’ll be kissin’ his a** all week now.

Jessie and Natalie are so fun to watch now!  It’s always fun to watch the mighty start their fall.  Going from King of the House to the “have nots” is just awesome!  LOL  Get ready for Jessie to throw Natalie under the bus!  I think she’s starting to annoy him with her constant whining.  Jessie is in the game for Jessie.

Watching Jeff after the HOH competition…showering, wrapped in a towel, showing his bruises, etc.  Need I say more?  LOL!  Speaking of Jeff, he has to be who America votes for the Coup’detat–you guys are exactly right.  It’s the only sure way to help the “good guys”.  Did you see this notice on the CBS website?

IMPORTANT NOTICE — All online votes cast before 9:20 PM EST (6:20 PT) on July 30 have been disqualified due to technical difficulties. We encourage you to vote again if you voted during this time period. We are sorry for any inconvenience.

Natalie has to go home.  I can’t take another second of her.  What was all that crap about her not being able to sleep with Jessie?  She’s worried about how her boyfriend is going to react after Jessie has been manhandling her since the show began?  Casey calling her Jessie’s pit bull was so funny!  He sure did go out with style, didn’t he?

Well, hopefully Russell will think for himself.  We shall see…stay tuned…Bloggergal1

One more thing…BB11 fans really did a number on servers everywhere last night!  I wonder what the actual data is on traffic on Big Brother sites?
