I don't care who wins, I'm just here for the cheap entertainment.. the cheaper, the better
 | Dead Famous Hilarious novel about a murder that happens inside a Big Brother-like house by Ben Elton  |
This site is about the Big Brother 12 feeds and contains spoilers! It isn't necessarily thorough: it's what I catch and/or what interests me. It also isn't necessarily about who will win, who should win, who's cute or who's horrid. It's about watching hamsters: who's doing what and why, who's fun and who's dull. If they aren't entertaining, get rid of 'em! Thanks for encouraging my behavior.

FAQ
Hamsters know there's a saboteur among them. We'll find out who it is on July 15.
Saboteur will get $50k if s/he lasts five weeks undetected, and s/he might be able to stay to play to win (my guess: it will depend on his or her fan appeal).
Have-Nots have their own room again, and slop again, and popcorn.
Nobody knows why Paolo isn't there.
The winner of BB12 will win $500k and 2nd place gets $50k. Hamsters earn $750 a week including pre-show hotel and jury sequester.
The habitat has 52 cameras and 95 microphones.
The recorded Big Brother in-house announcements are the voice of producer Don Wollman.
All feeds stay on one 'scene' when someone's in Diary.

Say cheese! (Wednesday)
They had another staboteur video, this one saying s/he escaped the block this week, inferring it's not Annie or Rachel, or maybe not Brendon, or maybe it's just another lie.. the hamsters talked about it for all of 30 seconds and went on their way - they're as uninterested in an ad campaign masquerading as a twist as I amIf you missed it, the reason I call it stabotage, staboteur or just plain stabo, it's CBS's fault but I have to admit I like stabo a lot, so I've kept it.. they don't tweet much but they can't seem to get things right that are kind of important - today they misspelled Britney's name.. remember, these are paid professionals
That was pretty much the highlight of the day.. in other news, the camera came out and they snapped their over-posed pics for the CBS site, Hayden wrote one tweet and his blog, and Annie's loops keep trying to restart, but she's finally running out of gasIt's another double episode here today as they're dull as dishwater and that makes it hard to come up with much (let alone sell feeds signups) but anything noteworthy goes out on my Twitter and Twitpic.. I have faith they'll wake up and realize that Big Brother is a LIFE OR DEATH situation as soon as Annie walks the plank tomorrow.. plus I have some personal stuff I have to attend to, so apologies for the lack of new content today
Crickets (Tuesday)
It was a pretty dull day in the habitat, so dull that they were given some rackets and a ball to toss around, but it didn't get much mileage.. Annie backed off her loops at times, but they always started up again.. I figure I can overlook a little lack of energy in there because she's sucked the life out of all of themThere may have been another bit of stabotage today, but Big Brother switched out the promised electronic beeper for a mechanical chirping cricket.. yeah, the hamsters didn't care either
There was a really fun lively group convo this afternoon, led by Britney asking them "For a guaranteed spot in Final 2, would you be willing to..?" with a plethora of imaginative scenarios completing the question.. it got explicit and gross like these things do with hamsters, but it was very funny too.. Britney's co-star for this event was Ragan, and the supporting cast included Matt, Lane, Monet and a few revolving door participants
Otherwise it was a lot of nothing and premature cocooning.. Enzo made chicken parmesan and they had their first family dinner since the feeds started, with 12 at the table - Annie had an extended Diary session and missed it, so that's potentially something else she can complain aboutThey got a hefty booze delivery for Showtime but still no catfight, or much else for that matter

Daily Ratings - 84 Alliances edition
Ratings are yesterday's, based on entertainment value - they'll be updated Thursday
  
Is this the best they got to WREAK HAVOC? Crickets? Really?The dying/reviving fishie is an apt analogy of Annie's Big Brother career: 'He's dead.' 'No, he's still alive!' 'He's not gonna make it.' |
|
 
He's an early to bed and early to rise type and I'm not, and he doesn't interact with the others much, at least when I'm watching. I did catch him praying tonight, and hollering at a beep.. he may have protested too much at that. An Andrew HOH this week would really stir things up, and that's what we need. |
 
NOMINATEDThe House of Annie has seen better days, namely the last two, but she keeps working her magic and rerunning her loops. We've had desperate hamsters before, but she has this weird anti-campaign style where she keeps doing more of the stuff that everyone wants her gone for. That's whatever it is, but without the requisite screaming fight to top off all her Annie-ing, she's all foreplay with no payoff. If she doesn't blow up in the next 36 hours, she'll be totally forgotten. |
 
The guys have him in their crosshairs and the girls are preparing to sink their claws into him too, so history says he's most likely to win the next HOH comp. Meanwhile, he needs to put a shirt on. |
  
Won: $10She had a banner day that ran the gamut from leading the best group convo I've seen yet, and doing it with pizazz and imagination, to organizing her minions and sending them out on Brendon intelligence-gathering assignments, which her first lieutenant Monet completed successfully. Britney then checked in with Enzo in the greenlight, and explained to him that the stabo sound effects cycle was always BZZZT followed by *cricket* *cricket*. |
 
His chicken parm looked great and they all loved it so that might help his Boot Brendon campaign if they all think there's a backup cook. His greenlight skit and check-in with Britney was informative and funny, and I don't ask for anything more than that. |
 
HEAD OF HOUSEHOLDHe's been far too comfy for far too long, and tomorrow he'll get a little more full of himself when he gets to blog and possibly tweet - those should be good for a laugh. And then comes Thursday, and the first fall from the ivory tower, and Hayden will finally learn what it's like to be a citizen in there.. I can't wait. |
 
She's not the typical hamster mom who cooks, cleans and provides a shoulder to cry on, although she does all those things too. No, this hamster mom is more like the mom who lingers at the door to make sure you aren't cussing or getting paint on the rug. She & Monet were given the same task by Captain Britney, but Monet fulfilled her orders and reported back, while Kathy just lurked around. |
 
Won: $100Note today's drinking game, and choose wisely. |
 
Won: $1,000He said today he can't ever nap in there, and then he took a two hour nap. I keep wondering why he was cast. |
 
Won: $1He lends a lot to group comedy and sex discussions, and he's working as hard as anyone in there but he does it very quietly. I would say this habitat could end up divided between Team Matt and Team Britney, except Enzo is a double agent who doesn't really give a damn about any of it, and that makes for a whole new scenario for us to figure out. |
 
Won: $10,000She hopped right to work when Britney gave her orders, and while it took a very long and very awkward hammock with Annie, she came through (kind of) by finding out Brendon's got some science stuff going on. Her report to Captain Britney was comical in that she was so excited retelling her convo with Annie and so proud of having done her job, I was waiting for her to ask for a cookie. Her re-tell style will get old real fast, so this is probably the first and last time she'll get ups for it. |
 
NOMINATEDI'm giving her ups for being a class act. Wait, I know what you're thinking, and that isn't what I mean. Class in the way she's handled being on slop, her nomination, and all the drama from her co-nominee. When the live show hits the air on Thursday, half the feedster audience will be surprised to see her sitting up there next to Annie. |
 
He's good when he's good, but he wasn't around enough today. |
  
Paolo Aviles30 - Unemployed real estate agent Somewhere Lucky #14 got away before the season began without any secrets exposed or embarrassing incidents to live forever on the web. Her dirty laundry will remain in the hamper, but boobies fans will be forever disappointed and wonder 'what if?' |
