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.

AMERICA'S CHOICE
Who do you want to be the new staboteur to WREAK HAVOC?
- Ragan
FAQ
Two hour finale is September 15
The first 'evil' from Pandora's Box will be the option for the stabo to return, in the form of Ragan, to WREAK HAVOC.
If Ragan accepts the stabo gig, he'll win $20k if he lasts two weeks undetected. He will address the hamsters on August 8 show, and his identity will be revealed to them on the finale.
Annie & Monet have been sprung from sequester so we won't have Revive-a-Hamster after all.
The first saboteur was Annie. She'd have won $50k if she lasted five weeks undetected.
Have-Nots have their own room again, cold showers again, slop again, plus popcorn, plus additional food items decided by viewer votes.
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.

Out goes the catsuit
Thursday HOH lockdown was livelier than usual with a lot of chatter between Rachel, Brendon, Matt & Britney.. later Britney told her pals downstairs that Brendon's "the world's biggest douchebag" along with some other colorful languageKristen was finally warned by Ragan that she'd probably be walking the plank to Julie's boudoir, and it came to pass as everyone but her knew it would.. she didn't think she'd have to wear the catsuit & wig today but anyone who's been playing along at home knows that her legacy will be talking to Julie in costume, just like BB11 Lydia Tavera & Casey Turner and BB8 Kail Harbick did before
Another endurance
Julie left them spinning on a giant paint can, getting sprayed with "paint" and being whacked by a giant paint brushWhen the feeds returned, Kathy & Enzo were both off.. Kathy was first so she's the only Have-not this week.. Brendon came off shortly after, followed by Lane, Britney & Hayden
It came down to Matt & Ragan once again.. they went for awhile and just inside an hour of spinning, Ragan jumped off, giving the win to Matt, again
They sat around for ages waiting for the end of Showtime for Matt's HOH room for some reason.. Brendon & Rachel inched closer to their inevitable breakup, helped along a bit by Britney & Enzo - both very subtly and unobtrusively
I have a feeling Diary offered the stabo gig to Ragan tonight - just something about his manner, and he said he had a terrific Diary session.. whether he accepted or not is another story - I have no ideaThe room reveal was pretty funny as they all overacted and shrieked hysterically running in and looking at everything.. Matt's letter was from mom & dad
Kathy planted herself smack in the middle of the bed, like she does, but she got herded out somehow while Rachel & Brendon stayed up there, and she had a perplexed look on her face the rest of the night.. tonight's Rachel/Brendon argument revolved around girls making out with girls.. Britney got sucked into it and some tension formed between her & them, and another faux apology from Rachel came later
Matt's target has shifted from the Brigade Boys' Brendon to Rachel since she's so much better at comps, especially Q&A.. I'm half expecting Pandora's Box to come along tomorrow daytime in place of their food comp and before nominations, but I have my doubts it'll change anything enough to make this the MOST POWERFUL HOH EVER
before CBS gets hold of it and turns it into something else for the air show

VTE = Voted to evict
Ratings are based on entertainment value
  
What a script! Julie actually uttered the words 'showmantic partner' and then 'the most powerful HOH of the summer' somehow turned into 'the most powerful HOH ever' - all for a dopey stabo twist that already failed once miserably? The hippytard jokes fell flat, but somebody needs to remind Julie that BB9 Sheila, BB10 Michelle and BB11 Lydia have worn the red catsuit since BB8 Jen - she of all people should know tv viewers have short memories. Kristen walked the plank as scheduled and somehow came out appearing as if she'd been on the show this season. We met Hayden's mom and Kristen's cuckolded boyfriend - I bet he's regretting signing that release about now, but CBS does like to drag folks through the mud. We didn't see most of the falls off the spinning paint can but that's par for the course: we'll see them Sunday with a dramatic music score laid on top. |

VTE KristenIt's so sad that he can't win an HOH when he promised his ladylove he would, but it's his own fault for making promises like that. I'm tired of the constant references of him as female and/or gay around the BB universe: it's insulting to women and gays. He's either a very inexperienced former fat boy cursed with brainy good looks, or he's the ultimate houseboy/sex slave just waiting to submit to the dominatrix of his dreams.. and Rachel ain't it. |
 
Won: $10VTE Kristen Here's the way to get some enjoyment out of these dismal feeds: watch Britney when she talks to Rachel and/or Brendon, then follow her when she retells the convo to any of the guys. It's the best show in town and I sure hope she doesn't end up going off to Paradise© (jury house) next week. We need her to stick around as long as possible like we haven't needed a hamster to stick around for a long time. |
 
Won: 42" 3D TVVTE Kristen Did he step off or did he fall off? We may never know since we'll have to rely on CBS's edit, and every feedster knows those can't be counted on. I really don't much care who goes this week but I'm glad it won't be him. |
 
Won: 24 18 hours solitaryNo vote (nominee) He's still there and now we know he's got a mom at home cheering him on. I still can't match up feeds Hayden to Diary Hayden.. maybe he's twins switching? They've rerun every other gimmick of the past this season so why not that one too? |
 
VTE HaydenShe's still there and at this rate, she'll probably still be there all the way to the end, and will be going home with $50,000. |
 
Won: $1,000VTE Kristen I figure they worked him into this week's veto storyline to remind CBS viewers he's there, since that didn't make any sense otherwise. His Diaries are great but they've completely overlooked his true value, which is his quick and dirty wit. I still don't know how he got cast, but I'm pretty sure it was for the big beefy jock role and they just lucked out when he turned out to be a comedian. |
 
Won: $1VTE Kristen HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD I don't think he really wanted to win this one but he did, so now he'll have to put up one or both of the Gruesome Twosome to appease his boys. I'm pretty sure he'll open Pandora's Box since he likes to keep things stirred up and also he'd love a chance to spend some time with Stacy. I'm guessing all that could come along tomorrow, and I'm also guessing it'll be blocked from us paying customers on the feeds. |
 
Won: $5,000No vote (HOH) She's 4 for 4 now: Annie, Monet, Andrew and Kristen were all evicted because they tried to come between her & HER MAN! She's like the boy who cried wolf: she wasted all her drama the last few weeks when she was perfectly safe and now that she's finally got a reason to worry, nobody cares. Her tears and her attempts at being friendly are seen for the fakes they are, and only her continued sulking at Brendon finds its target. I am fully expecting a major breakup fight from them this week, and I'm fully looking forward to it. |
 
Won: Veto ticketVTE Kristen He's coming off as the soulful, sensitive guy on CBS - which he does well - but thanks to Britney, now everyone also knows he's extra farty. I was kind of hoping he'd take this HOH but I guess he didn't want it and maybe that's just as well. We'd all go nuts if we had to listen to all the sob stories Rachel & Kathy would have thrown at him. I'm kind of surprised he won the stabo vote but I suspect if he decides to do it, it'll only be through much urging in Diary so they can revive their sorry non-twist. |
    Won: $100, 1 week wig & catsuit She was barely there the first couple weeks but she came alive and participated in some juicy spats and was the subject of Andrew's scorching exit speech. She was half a showmance with Hayden and wore a silly wig & catsuit for a week, yet for all this, she still was barely there. She spent most of her time horizontal with Kathy or Hayden, and would only talk with others one-on-one. |
   He promised chaos and delivered on that, leaving them and us wondering what he was up to most of the time. He was a good early guess for the staboteur but he WREAKED more HAVOC just by being himself. He was early-to-bed & early-to-rise so I missed a lot of what he did, but he brought some Orthodox education, travel companion/fingerbang stories, and he made lots of threats to make good tv that didn't pan out until his final moments. |
   Won: $10,000 She promised princessy but failed to deliver, opting instead for poor-me tears, complaints about being fat, and a lot of moping around. But she wasn't all doom & gloom: she rode the slip 'n slide and made fun of her keep-warm sleeping layers, and she was Britney's #1 mean girl cohort. She tried out for ANTM and might have fared better there, as they wouldn't have flashed her boobies. |
   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?' |
