I don't care who wins, I'm just here for the cheap entertainment.. the cheaper, the better
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.

Paymance?
Brendon & Rachel put on a dinnertime sex show that was mostly undercovers, but included this dismount exposure and Brendon commemorating the date as if it was a special occasion.. he got the date wrong, saying Day 16, but I think they got that figured out.. like many of their sexcapades, they were very aware of the cameras before & after, and this one was timely, between the CBS airings for the East & WestWhat was really peculiar though is that one of the official BB Twitter accounts sent an alert about it.. @BigBrotherScoop has only sent a handful of tweets since the premiere, so this seemed odd especially considering the early hour.. (not to mention the wording of it, which was probably yet another unproofed & unapproved goof from their crack tweeting team, but it implied they're aware of how icky the Brandon/Rachel connection is, and that doesn't sound like something they'd do on purpose)
Nearly everyone with feeds is sick of these two slurping it up but even their individual fans agree there's no passion between them, no chemistry, nothing sexy and nothing that feels any more sincere than just plain poor acting.. they're clearly being built up by CBS as the stars of the show and the main storyline, so you have to wonder if they're being encouraged to sex it up to make up for the premature twist death and overall lack of drama.. maybe they're getting paid extra for a little make-out actoring? Rachel's got a recent tv movie in her resume, and tonight said she knows BB2/7 Mike Boogie's business partner Lonnie.. things that make you go hmmmApparatus on the way
Meanwhile, they were on lockdown all day and going a little stir crazy between naps and sex events.. they suspect an endurance comp tomorrow and while it's earlier than most seasons, they desperately need something to punch it up.. there's a big something being built in the backyard that looks like the type of industrial weight-bearing stuff they use for endurance and not skeeball or similarThe camera came out for their weekly cheesy picture posing, including a solo session by a pouty-lipped Rachel & her mirror after the group shots, with many deletes & retakes.. Monet cried a lot, and packed, and a game of charades broke out spontaneously in the evening - for some reason they played it via the HOH spyscreen, which required those guessing to shout a lot

Ups are for that magnificent tweet this evening, one more in their winning series this season. They forgot Kathy & Kristen are in there on Wednesday's show, and they almost forgot about the dual Pawn-me offers. As it was, they made both offers confusing and vague, and I think they also forgot to mention that four of them had to spend more time in the veto comp stocks. Matt's story about his wife's phony disease was a nice revelation and reminiscent of Jonny Fairplay's (un)dead grandma from back before he became a caricature of himself. I'm glad they finally skipped the full moon in favor of a half, and it shows they're reading here again this season. |
|
 
His little check-ins are so short, sweet and to the point that I wish he'd inspire all of his many allies to do the same with their other check-ins. He joined in with charades tonight and it was good to see him having a little fun in there. |
  
He spilled a little more of his backstory tonight when he almost cried again to Rachel telling her about his struggle to gain his dad's approval. He also said he was distressed when the BB camera crew came to his house because his family had to fake-smile and pretend to be happy for him, so that'll be something to watch for when we get his home visit. |
 
Won: $10CBS continues to paint her as the one-dimensional catty bitch but she just tells it like it is, and she's far less mean & catty than most of us watching. She had a lot of little sparkly moments today during their endless lockdown, and they're about the only thing that got us and them through it. |
 
He wasn't around a lot today but when he was, he picked up the slack where Britney left off. Definitely a keeper. |
 
He's a pivotal player at this point in the game but I think he landed there through sheer luck. I could be wrong but I still see him as the Duh Factor of this season. |
  
CBS may have forgotten her but nobody out here has. She shows up droning everywhere something good's going on, as well as whenever Brendon & Rachel are getting busy. Heaven help us if by some miracle she wins HOH. |
 
Won: $100Like her smoochmate Hayden, she's also got a pivotal role now, and CBS doesn't even know she's there. |
 
Won: $1,000His random commentary livens up any boring day and today was no different, between finally getting his fear of rats & AIDS back in the same sentence and his pierced tongue stories. He's the hamster that shouldn't be there but we're all lucky he is. |
 
Won: $1NOMINATED Easy ups for having to have last night's sippy convos retold to him, for wearing Annie's top so well, for his wife's phony illness (even if 'Andrew isn't a doctor or anything' seemed a little too contrived), and for looking like he'll stick tomorrow when all common sense suggests he shouldn't. |
 
Won: $10,000NOMINATED Unlike Matt, she spent her probable last day still moaning, still crying, still complaining, and still being generally miserable other than dressing up in her self-described ghetto layers for picture taking time. She did make a couple last ditch campaign efforts that suggested she should never go into politics. |
 
HEAD OF HOUSEHOLDHer week at the top was about six days too long and I can only hope she has a long, hard fall after the worst HOH week ever. I also hope we can spend the next week without a feed on her every second of the day & night. Tonight's charades was a fun interlude, especially for this group, but playing through the HOH spyscreen was pointless and only made her shout more than usual. She did have a high point today when she was confused over why Diary asked others but not her to provide pros & cons about each nominee. Let me know if her blog has anything 'important' in it as I couldn't get through it. I did get as far as 'Brenchael' and wonder if her name is really spelled Rachael? And if so, what's her real last name? |
 
He too kept things lively on a dull day with some comedy bits, past season impressions, feedster references, and genuine people conversations. It's just too bad that Rachel & Brendon are force fed down our throats so much that we don't get enough of this other good stuff. Game-wise, Ragan's in a prime position right now, possibly the best of all of them. He looked like a new guy with his sleevedana on. |
    13-DAY STABOTEUR She turned her nomination into the House of Annie and wheedled everyone for days, to no avail. She promised catfights with Britney and Rachel but nothing came of it, leaving her in the 'Who?' category for future BB trivia, even including her stabotage. She's lucky she went early: she might have cracked bad and the chops would get really brutal. |
 
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?' |
