Big Brother Season 12

[BroadwayBomber55]

Episode 6 - InGame Play By Play Shootout

Rachel must've gotten her degrees Online. She is not the sharpest cookie.

A BB fan in the skybox seats: You know Brittney is a very beautiful woman on the outside....

Britney takes herself off. Big surprise.

Rachel puts Matt up in place of Britney. She openly says that Matt is being used as a pawn. Monet is rolling her eyes the whole time.

Wow, another episode without any mention or showing of Kristen. I mean really, is this girl even in the game?

I didn't see or hear from Kathy at all either.

Joel: Diabolically super safe?! I hope he gets sent home!

We usually remember the people who are left at the end of the game....Kristen is just waiting for that.

Well, who will be evicted on Thursday? Matt or Monet? Find out next time.

[BroadwayBomber55]

Episode 6 - BB55's Takes

Here's my opinion on the remaining houseguests up to this point.

Andrew:
Do not get why most of the other HG's supposedly don't like him.

Brendon:
A mensch.

Britney:
Heather #1

Enzo:
The whole 'Jersey gangster' act's a little much, but I don't mind him.

Hayden:
His relationship with Kristen will be his undoing in the game.

Kathy:
So far under-the-radar, she could be below sea level.

Kristen:
I call her "The Invisible Woman".

Lane:
"The Southern Gentleman"

Matt:
What a douche. Why put yourself as a F'N pawn? I don't know if he saw previous seasons of BB.

Monet:
Heather #2 and a piece of work. I've never seen someone so catty and violent at the same time. I mean seriously, every time she talks about Rachel it's either that she wants to punch her, hit her, beat her up... what a violent woman! Nothing that came out of her mouth in tonight's episode wasn't laced with pure malice and cattiness. She's the type of person I would have completely despised in school.

Rachel:
Sweet with a questionable heart to downright meh with diva tactics.

Ragan:

Matt: "I'm a diabolical supergenius." Mensa would be ashamed. True geniuses do not have intelligence in only one area (logic), they are well rounded, like in emotional IQ, oh and I don't know, modesty and respect? And then comes the fact that IQ tests aren't really a measure of intelligence anyways. His tower is so high

Britney is just so blind. I cannot get over her. (About Rachel): "She has made the game personal." And you think you haven't, by lying behind everybody's back about her and calling her a stripper 24/7?

Well, by process of elimination I'm rooting for Ragan. I wish we can see more of Kathy and Kristen. I don't care if they're cute babyfaces or nasty evil heels, give those two face time.

[krystl]

I was waiting to see what Adam had to say to the cameras about Matt's made up wife-being-sick story. And I was disappointed when he only said it didn't sound like a real ailment.

People didn't like Adam from the start because they thought for sure he was the saboteur. Now that they know he's not, I'm not really sure why they don't like him.

I don't think Matt will go home. The brigade will not vote him off, and Brendon's vote will be for Monet, as will Adam's most likely. Kristen will probably vote with Hayden. Ragan was scared when Matt volunteered himself, so I'm sure his vote will be to keep Matt and I'm not sure about Kathy.

I'm guessing Adam = Andrew?

I agree with you that Monet will go home. Monet is a catty bitch but I liked her and Britney being bitchy together. At least it was some entertainment in the house that doesn't involve sucking face.

Oops, yes I meant Andrew.

And yeah, I wasn't crazy about Monet or Britney in the beginning, but they are semi entertaining together and the DR sessions.

I wonder who Brit is going to latch onto when Monet is gone, if anyone?

[OlgMvp]

Monet should go home for her inability to multiply.

So 60 times 60 is 1200....nice. See ya.

[OlgMvp]

Honestly, I forgot to add this...

but if everyone really wanted to keep monet and britney on the block...didn't they realize that someone had to drop their suitcase as soon as Britney did and then the same when Monet did? Are these people retarded? I'm surprised that no one strategized while doing the POV competition...since it was clear everyone wanted to keep them on the block.

They realized this after the competition. They aren't too bright.

And, yes, Monet was an idiot with her multiplication.

Crowd filing inside the Reality TV Arena...

Hello and welcome to Episode 7 of Big Brother Season 12. I'm BroadwayBomber55.

Joel: And well, well, well. It is I, the quintessential studmuffin. Joel 'I am the peeled banana in your fruitbowl of love' Gertner. Crowd chanting: GERTNER! GERTNER! GERTNER!

"The Power Couple is in" BOOOO

Joel: I hate these 10 minute recaps. We already know. DUH!
Oh, goodie. The Rachel and Brenden show is on.

gee why would rachel want to help you Monet? your sooo nice to her...

its the crying music!!!!!!!!!!!

Joel: who celebrates being put on the block!? and how is your alliance running the house when you're on the block?

Hayden goodluck with THAT...lmao

Wow, Kristen's 2nd DR comment EVER!!!

Joel: Gee why would Monet want to be there with Rachel...Rachel is so nice to her.

This music is killing me LMAOO

hayden targets brenchel for a showmance yet he's having his own. hypocrite much?

Joel: omg andrew was awake ! Crowd chanting: holy sh8t! holy sh*t! holy sh*t!

Andrew is so funny!

A BB fan in the upper deck wired for sound: i hope andrew wins this next hoh.

Joel: Please let this lie blow up in Rachel's face!

[BroadwayBomber55]

Episode 7 - InGame Play By Play 2nd Period

Andrew is going to walk his way to the finals if they keep underestimating him...

Joel: Man, I feel sorry for Monet. There's no reason for Rachel to treat her like that. Crowd chanting: SLUT! SLUT! SLUT! to Rachel.

A BB fan in the front row: Ugh, I find Hayden and Kristin as gross as Brenchel.

unfortunately he's already a target, but i hope he can get hoh and get a brigader out before he leaves.

Well, Rachel doesn't know it, but yeah there kinda is.

Still, that was some kinda condescending attitude from Miss Chemist. Jumpins.

Joel: People keep talking about Hayden yelling in the DR... but the only one I hear yelling outg everything she says in the DR is Rachel. omg I cannot handle her grating voice!!

Rachel is a basketcase. I hope she goes soon.

A BB TV insider in the media gondola: That whole argument was really stupid.
Rachel was making valid points until she tried to belittle Monet about the use of the term "bitch".
With the very limited amount of screen time she's had that Kristin has made a very negative impression with me.

Joel: Rachel it's you who is playing two sides. Stop sniffing the methenol.

ragan is the one that will get played here, he has the opportunity to get matt out but is too in love with their "friendship".

Matt got hurt here...

Rachel was already a target so who cares..

A BB fan in the sauna area: VOTE MATT OUT! I hate cocky players! Especially if they'r eon the block!

This is the wimpiest group of houseguests EVER.

Ronnie looks tough compared to these softies.

A BB fan in the lower bowl seats: i want matt out too but also monet needs to go, but the brigade needs a wakeup call.

[BroadwayBomber55]

Episode 7 - InGame Play By Play 3rd Period

A BB blog writer in the media gondola: Rachel confiding in Britney that Matt offered to be a pawn and that he would not target Rachel and Brendon.
Britney told her Matt was mad that he was nominated and does intend to target them.
Rachel started crying and called a house meeting.
Matt now being confonted about playing both sides.

oh, Kathy us still on the show?

Joel: Doesn't look good for Matt, but they never seem to change their minds on this show.
Monet will likely still go, imo.

Matt really overplayed things this week, imo.

They're all casually dressed for a live show, endurance comp HOH tonight maybe?

Joel: BB55, Julie looks great. Crowd chanting: CHENBOT! CHENBOT! CHENBOT!

Rachel is a ditz. Whatever degree she allegedly earned, it certainly wasn't in English. And her voice is excruciating.

Ever notice Rachel doesn't refer to only herself? It's always "Brendan and I"....

A BB radio insider in the media gondola: I guess Rachel skipped English IV. Boy, I am so sick of her with using "Brenden and I" incorrectly! She sounds like an idiot.

Matt called Julie the Chenbot on live TV! She handled it graciously, but I bet he's skating on thin ice.

I liked his little dig at Jerry, saying he's not wearing his military insignias.

Another BB blog writer in the media gondola: Just did a live portion with Julie.
She ran a clip of the have/ have not comp.
Ragan said being tied to a wall was a regular Friday (?)night for him.
Britney said this had been a bad week.
Kathy answered a viewer question saying it was harder to be in the house than to be a deputy sheriff.
Julie asked Andrew about how hard it gas been to practice his faith in the house and he said it was hard but the houseguests made it easier for him because they respected his religion, or words to that effect.
Now Hoh chat with Julie.
Rachel said she thinks Matt us playing both sides. Said nothing can put a price on love, thinks Brendan's a "once in a lifetime" and when pressed by Julie said she'd choose him over the money.

Voting time!

[BroadwayBomber55]

Episode 7 - InGame Play By Play Overtime

Andrew votes to evict Monet.
Enzo- Monet
Britney - Matt

Oh my god! kathy kept her word!

Joel: Kathy has keep herself off TV!

A BB fan in the skybox seats: Matt had three votes in the bag this week, four probably including Kristin, but Monet will probably only get Britney's vote.
Is she really a bigger threat than Matt?

Joel: once again julie says "will be leaving the house tonight". an evicted houseguest will return i think.

Wow, Kathy voted to evict Matt
Hayden voted to evict Monet, as did Kristin
Ragan votes to evict Monet.
Monet gone.
Even Brendan voted to evict her, as did Lane.

Joel: Monet gone. 1 crybaby down. 2 to go.

Yes. Monet is that emotional outside the house. We've seen her cry 8 times in 2 weeks!

Joel: Monet was given the short end of the stick.

she has not said annie or monet would be going home. going home and leaving the house is sort of two different things on here.

Joel: ANOTHER goodbye message from Rachel about her and "her man"?

Is that just gonna be like her default thing now? Cause it doesn't even make any sense.

Monet won't be coming back in anyway, shape or form....Annie on the otherhand could comeback

Joel: Wow, I can't stand Rachel. "Me and my man." Wow, what an imbecile!

[BroadwayBomber55]

Episode 7 - InGame Play By Play Shootout

I loved Britney's goodbye message.
I know she's bitchy, but she makes me laugh.

Joel: Is it mean of me to want him to dump her, preferably in a humiliating way?

HoH time!

They needed to bring their raincoats for this one. No one did this wont last long. That is going to get cold real quick

endurance.....this smells of a brigader winning it.

I choose all of the above for the have nots they all sound gross.

Joel: I don't think the cold is what they need to worry about.
The incline of that board + that water is just begging for some nasty slips.

Interesting twist on hoh.
Endurance comp, standing on raised half surfboards protruding from a wall. Boards are lengthening and shortening and are on a downward angle, they're also being pelted with water.
First five to drop out will be "haves" along with Rachel.

Joel: Rachel print this out and put somewhere safe.
Remedial Grammar

A BB TV play by play commentator in the media gondola: Consider the following sentence: You and I should have lunch.
Is the correct form of this sentence You and I ... or You and me ...? This is a common source of confusion in English.
Fortunately, there's an easy way to decide whether to use I or me in such sentences. All you have to do is drop the word you then try the sentence with I and me one at a time. For example:
I should have lunch.
Me should have lunch.
Clearly the preferred form in this case is I; thus, the original sentence was correct to use you and I.

A BB TV color commentator in the media gondola: Here's another example: He'll blame you and I. Drop the word you then try the sentence with I and me one at a time, like so:
He'll blame I.
He'll blame me.
You can see that the second of these is correct. This means that the original sentence should have been: He'll blame you and me.
Easy.

On a related note, when using phrases such as you and me, you and I or them and us, it has traditionally been considered courteous to place the reference to yourself last. For example, we prefer:

He'll ask you and me later.
over:

He'll ask me and you later.

between you and me
Between you and me is acceptable in standard English; between you and I isn't. This is because between is a preposition, and pronouns that come after prepositions are in the accusative case (here, me), not the nominative case (not I).

Joel: The same applies to a pair of pronouns that is the object of a verb: They've invited you and me to dinner is acceptable, They've invited you and I to dinner isn't.

The reason why expressions like between you and I have become so common is that people are aware that the accustive case is not correct for the subject of a verb ( You and I have been invited is acceptable; You and me have been invited is not), so they make the mistake of thinking it is not correct anywhere, and always use the nominative case.

Joel: If you are in any doubt, try leaving out the first pronoun of the pair. That will show you what case the second one should be: between I and they've invited I are clearly ungrammatical.

If it had hanging I would have favored Brit because she is so small. But since it is water I think she will get cold real quick and have to drop out.
But Brit is really mad and we have seen what that can do. That may drive her to hang on no matter what. So I may be wrong and she may hang in there to get her revenge on Rachel.

This may be tricky. Wind water moving boaards easy to slip.

Another BB fan in the sauna area: What is going to happen when they have another luxury competition? No one will participate for fear of being voted out? Rachel voted Monet out for other reasons, and I can't believe that Dr. Andrew had to twist the knife. Man, I wish that Brenden was not in this showmance because he seems like the only likeable person in there. Kathy is cool too!

First endurance HoH of the season. Who will win? Find out Sunday.

[BroadwayBomber55]

Episode 7 - BB55's Takes

Bye bye Monet.

Not only I'm rooting for Ragan, I'm also rooting for Enzo.

Britney is cool too, but she can be a nag really quick.

As for the next one to go, I think Rachel should be outta here.
if/when she get's the boot, he can give her the pink slip in his goodbye message to her! I'm so bad this season!

So far, the quote of the season. Britney saying "I lost my dignity on a slippery wiener!" LOL!!!

[RhodyYanksFan]

BB...how can you like Enzo? He's trying soooo hard to be cool Jersey guy. Utterly obnoxious.

How do you all feel about Matt lying abut his wife's illness?

[krystl]

BB...how can you like Enzo? He's trying soooo hard to be cool Jersey guy. Utterly obnoxious.

How do you all feel about Matt lying abut his wife's illness?

I like Enzo because he's just entertaining and he seems like a lot nicer guy than the persona he tried to portray in the beginning clips of the show.

I liked Matt more until he lied about the wife's illness. It's something people will not question because if they do, they will come off as insensitive. I was kind of hoping Andrew would have called him out on it, but he didn't know anything about it and Matt seemed to have done his homework on it.

[CoyoteYankee]

BB...how can you like Enzo? He's trying soooo hard to be cool Jersey guy. Utterly obnoxious.

How do you all feel about Matt lying abut his wife's illness?

Enzo is definitely a stereotype but he can be funny. At least he has a personality, even if it is a little douchey, which half the HGs don't even have.

I don't mind Matt's lie. Some people are upset about it and I can totally understand that but, hey, he's lying and cheating to win $500K which is part of the game. Yes, it's a bad lie but if it works for him then it was smart IMO.

The only person who I feel bad for is Ragan. He really likes Matt and totally believes the lie. He is working with Matt and trusts him. He feels so bad for Matt's wife and is trying to help Matt, in part, because of that. Not only is Matt going to eventually sacrifice him on behalf of the Brigade but I think that Ragan is going to be really hurt when he finds out Matt lied about his wife. Poor Ragan.

Yeah, I like Ragan. I was watching some of AD last night and I really felt bad for him being so upset. Don't know the whole background, but as he said, the house can really get to people.

What is up with Andrew's shorty shorts??

Joel: Brendan is a sweetie. Why in the world is he with Rachel? :fail:

A BB fan in the upper deck wired for sounds: Matt is too cocky.

A BB fan in the sauna area: ragan ragan ragan....dummy

I think he was smart. He has no enemies in the house and even though he's a wildcard, he's not on anybody's hitlist yet. Plus he doens't do too bad in the challenges.

Joel: I am so sick of seeing shomances. I don't know what is worse: Brenchel or the Brigade.

[BroadwayBomber55]

Episode 8 - InGame Play By Play 3rd Period

Matt wins HoH!

Joel: Matt is good at lying. If I were his wife I'd be worried at how well he can lie

The Brigade is quickly becoming worse for me. Then again it might be equal only because Rachel and this " hes my man" gets on my nerves. She just met the man

Joel: I'm soooo tired of his cocky attitude. I feel like I'm channeling Monet... I want to punch that stupid smirky smile off his face! Ugh.

Andrew no dont doubt it you are correct. Matt is lying his butt off

A BB fan in the lower bowl seats: This Brigade is getting to cocky if you ask me

Oh my god! They are thinking they are family

Joel: If Matt wins the whole thing, the person nearest to me is getting their skill busted open ghetto style /possessedbymonet

Also, Lane sometimes makes no sense. He said "When Matt won, I wanted to punch him in the face, but in a good way" ?_?

Joel: I like that Matt might not follow the Brigade after all. That will make things interesting.

[BroadwayBomber55]

Episode 8 - InGame Play By Play Overtime

A BB fan in the skybox seats: Mhow-Mhow (trying to be phonetic! LOL!) hands down just slides my cheese off my cracker!

The brigade thinks Hayden and Kristin are cousins? Oh, dear.

Perhaps Andrew needs to enlighten them about a few things....

Joel: Well, Britney thinks they are twins. No kidding Andrew knows all these little dirty secrets. Hope he bust some people soon before long

Another BB fan in the front row: You think he's smart enough to do that? He now BELIEVES Matt's wife has an illness.

A BB TV insider in the media gondola: People have intuition and gut reactions for a reason. Our whole lives, we scan the environment and learn what "normal" situations are. When something is fishy or out of place, that's when you get that feeling. To ignore that, especially on BB, that's gonna cost you.

LOL at Lane and Brittney! Crowd chanting: holy sh*t! holy sh*t! holy sh*t!

Joel: Heh. So is Andrew's nickname "Buzzkill"?

Britney and Whatshisname's mockery of Rachel and Brendon would have been funnier if the two of them had any more brain cells than the people they were making fun of.

Joel: Backarat... bootleg piece of lettuce. .
Meow Meow cracks me up!

Put up BRENDAN AND ME!!! Rachel please shut up. Crowd chanting: RACHEL SUCKS! RACHEL SUCKS! RACHEL SUCKS!

I think Lane was getting turned on roleplaying. Britney just liked being a teese. However, to add further fuel to my Lane argument... he used to roleplay with horses and cows? WHAT!? Imaging what they said? I can't imagine anything.

[BroadwayBomber55]

Episode 8 - InGame Play By Play Shootout

Joel: Baby food looks really nasty but it doesn't have to be. There was recently a baby food quickfire challenge on top chef and if anything, baby food can resemble applesauce and be quite tasty.

I'm glad the baby food is kosher; if slop isn't kosher, then they really have an obligation to provide some kind of kosher option for Andrew when he's a have not, as they knew he kept kosher when they cast him.

A BB radio insider in the media gondola: I'm also really glad he has something to keep his strength up, because between the non-stop make out sessions between Rachel and Brendon and the only slightly more infrequent sessions between Kristin and Hayden, he must be getting very little sleep. Oh, wait--he gets to sleep in the have not room this week. Guess the advantage there is that he doesn't need to pretend to be sleeping while they're going at it.

Joel: Wow. Just wow. He is a Mensa member.

All mensa member means is he was stupid enough to pay money to be a member so he can prove he is smart



Good luck if Brendan or Rachel win HOH.

HoH Matt puts Andrew and Kathy on the block. Who will win PoV? Find out Wednesday.

[BroadwayBomber55]

Episode 8 - BB55's Takes

Lane mentioned that he's done rodeo earlier. In that case, it might actually make sense to wonder what cows or horses might be thinking (or saying, if they could speak) in order to anticipate what they might do next.

As for Matt, I believe the "official" term I read once was "nutritionally fortified porridge". It's got a bunch of protein and iron and other such nutrient additives. I don't know what's in there that wouldn't be kosher.

if someone keeps kosher, doesn't it have to do with food preparation as well as ingredients? If so, maybe his concern is that slop isn't prepared according to kosher standards. Of course, no one on slop is actually required to eat any of it, and it wouldn't surprise me if people stuck more to the America's Choice option and whatever they're allowed in terms of pantry items.

I suppose they could all be lying about anything, for that matter, but if the show thinks he is keeping kosher, they should try and meet his dietary restrictions.

Here's the ingredient list for slop:

Natural oats, proprietary blend of whey protein concentrate, soy protein isolate, wheat protein isolate, milk protein isolate, natural and artificial flavors, vitamins and minerals (vitamin A palmitate, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, pyridoxine hydrochloride, cyanocobalamin, vitamin D3, alpha tocopherol, niacin, biotin, pantothenic acid, calcium carbonate, magnesium oxide, zinc oxide, copper gluconate, manganese sulfate, ferrous sulfate, folic acid, potassium iodide), cellulose gum, salt and acesulfame potassium.

Chemistry degree? Really? I haven't checked, but it seems unlikely Rachel has any schoolin' at all - unless she's a better actress than she appears.

Is the showmance between Rachel and Brenden real? Seems like it might be a diversion of some kind.

Does Matthew really just happen to wander into the room when the two of them are slobering all over each other?

I hate this show almost as much as I love it!!! Gah!!!

Before the show started, I looked up who won the HOH competition and who was nominated for eviction. I was disappointed that Matt won the HOH competition because I think he's annoying. When he told Andrew about his wife's supposed health condition, he had an amused look on his face. Plus, he nominated Kathy and Andrew, which isn't dramatic, so I decided not to watch this episode.

[NYDCYankee]

Loved Britney mocking Enzo's accent. And Enzo thinking he didn't even have one.

Yeah, that was pretty funny.
I really didn't like Britney much when the show started, but she's getting better as the season progresses.

Hello and welcome to Episode 9 of the Big Brother Season 12. I'm BroadwayBomber55.

Joel: And well, well, well. It is I, the quintessential studmuffin. Joel 'I'm hotter than a 15 year old girl in a field hockey skirt' Gertner. Crowd chanting: GERTNER! GERTNER! GERTNER!

If Andrew didn't throw the POV, what makes you all so sure he would have won? This would all still be happening whether he lost it or threw it.

A BB fan in the upper deck wired for sound: Everyone throw your pink glitter in support of our PRINCESS RACHEL <3 WOO <3 Go girl!

If by pink glitter you mean the hair dyed dandruff falling from ROACHEL's head! Sure!

Joel: Is it just me, but I'm not obsessing over this season. I don't know if I'm getting tired of BB, or that this season is extremely boring.

It does seem to be taking a little longer to get into it, but it's still early. I think things are on the verge of blowing up so.. there's hope.

Matt is arrogant.

Joel: bruh bruh bruh bruhgade lo,lolo.olol @ brigade

A BB fan in the sauna area: Matt, I love you. But I hate you for not putting B/R up.

So far, that's the only thing he's done I find redeeming- otherwise, his game play sux and I'm let down by the self-proclaimed genius.

A BB fan in the skybox seats: So I just asked my daughter to watch the show and she said The Hamsters are annoying this year

I lololol when he did that on lf's.

Andrew just made the noise America has been making for the past 3 weeks

Joel: Oh yes. Crowd chanting: BB12! BB12! BB12!

A BB fan in the front row: First Annie, now Andrew. BB12 is losing its best hgs too fast. Guess I'll be rooting for Brenchel just to go against the mob next week.

Joel: annie was the best????? That is where I am now. Not emotionally invested in anyone...just want a few egos deflated.

I'm thinking Enzo is wishing we had given "prunes and pate" the week.

no kidding.

A BB fan in the lower bowl seats: My dislike for Brendon has reached the point where I almost can't even watch the show. No way I'm gonna wanna see him win POV tonight.

i hope we get to do phone calls that keep them up all night next week

Joel: Dude, me too. I wanna call and laugh like Rachel. "hehehhheheheheheheheheh!" Let her see how effin annoying it is!

Andrew's edit made him seem psycho. The edits this year make most people seem two or one dimensional.

A BB TV insider in the media gondola: What are these idiots going to do when B&R are gone???? Matt is the only one playing the game.

Thats the game Ragan. Britney, and Kristen are waiting for

Andrew was talking about him and Brenden running the house. He can't even save himself. He's an idiot

I love it when floaters call it the stupidest move ever to target floaters.

Joel: BB should just let them talk about production. The charade they try to put on that the HGs are completely isolated is BS and everyone knows it.

Agreed Joel. The cat was out of the bag on that YEARS ago.

We all know people talk to them and ask them questions in the DR.

Joel: After you are evicted Andrew, can you clean my house?

He blows his nose in towels then wipes the counters with it

Joel: Well today is the Andrew show. Even though she is nom'd with him, its like Kathy who?

Andrew's face was priceless after that PIC LMAO!

wow even kathy is taller then the lollipop guile

Joel: Noone picked HG choice because it wasn't in the bag

That was hilarious! I need some poprocks...I'm so mad!!!!!! haha Crowd chanting: holy sh*t! holy sh*t! holy sh*t! holy sh*t!

Matt: We have no luck. Lane: We don't get jack crap.

Joel: Lane and his Pop Rocks.

It is pretty amazing that 3 out of 8 names were drawn, and both Brendon and Rachel were picked out of the bag.

Joel: Do people really think that BB would put multiple R/B balls in the bag?? The risk of pulling duplicates would be to high.

Do people really think that BB would put multiple R/B balls in the bag?? The risk of pulling duplicates would be to high.

Joel: A VIP cocktail waitress is not a scientist, Enzo.

Will they or won't they show the convo where Andrew tells Bren he is going to throw it

oh my god @ ninja outfits

Joel: once there was 4 horsemen who I didn't care for except Drew, now there are the 4 donkey guys......and I don't like any of them. What a season!!

Another BB fan in the sauna area: the only one i really liked is getting evicted... guess ill root for brenden (cause he is nice to A) or brit (cause she's funny)

i wanted a good "kathy's still stuck in the caramel" line

Lane time = Legend!

Episode 9 - InGame Play By Play 3rd Period

A BB radio insider in the media gondola: shoot a turtle,,hillbilly backwood tobacco chewing trash

Is this all they have to air?

Wow....I can't believe Lane speaks and he got a whole segment.

A BB blog writer in the media gondola: I would like to state for the record that not everyone in Texas has a gun in their car and likes to go shoot animals for fun. But I suppose that not everyone in New Joisey is like Meow Meow either. Everyone on this show is almost a caricature of themselves.

When Lane was standing there in that vest bare chested with his arms crossed, did anyone get a genie vibe?

As Lane was explaining about drinking and shooting stuff in Texas, I kept waiting for him to take the next step and see just how far he could exaggerate his story and still get by with people believing him, but I guess he's too straight forward for that.

Anyone just catch Rachel say "Tar-rit cards"?

[BroadwayBomber55]

Episode 9 - InGame Play By Play Overtime

PoV time!

A BB print insider in the media gondola: That's why I was wondering if Lane would go that extra step and see how far he could push the whole drunken hunting issue before someone challenged him on it. I've seen westerners tell outrageous lies with straight faces just to see how much a non-westerner will believe is truthful before he/she starts wondering if it's all a big joke. After Lane made that remark about Texas being a state with laws and everything, I thought perhaps he'd try to set somebody up to look silly for buying into a stereotype, but he didn't.

A BB TV sideline reporter on press row: I love Lane. I remember when guys did have gun racks in their pickup windows and would go hunting after school. I miss that time.

I realize that it is as alien to some people as not driving yourself everywhere and never seeing a subway or using a taxi or city bus would be to me. Doesn't make either one wrong, just different perspectives.

I'm a card reader, and even though TARO is more common pronunciation, it is also correct to pronounce to it with the "T" at it end of the word.

Brendon wins Veto!

[BroadwayBomber55]

Episode 9 - InGame Play By Play Shootout

A BB podcaster on press row: "This house is being taken over by Brenchel."
Dear God...no......I am tired, however, of the Brigade feeling like they just can't catch a break. The first week Hayden put up Brendon and Rachel, Brendon won the veto, and they didn't send Rachel home. They sent Annie home. Last week, they didn't have control. But this week, Matt pretty much decided to do what he wanted to do for himself instead of the Brigade, has been lying to everyone, and put up Andrew and Kathy, neither of whom were all that much of a threat to the Brigade. And really, Matt, as a Mensa member, you should have realized the odds weren't that great against both Brendon and Rachel ending up playing for the veto. At least the rest of the Brigade seems to be doubting Matt's loyalty a bit. It's about time.
And please, could someone send Andrew over to my house? It could use a good, thorough cleaning. I even have a Dyson he could use.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA @ This clown Andrew!! That was the dumbest speech I've ever seen in my life! Crowd chanting: U F'ED UP! U F'ED UP! to Andrew.

Joel: so it is Brendon's fault that Rachel is not in on this plan....

Matt picks Kathy and Andrew up for eviction. What a dumb speech from Andrew. Will he survive? Find out Thursday.

[BroadwayBomber55]

Episode 9 - BB55's Takes

In my mind, that was easily the funniest POV ceremony in BB history

Andrew, that speech sucked.

POV ceremony's are usually a snorefest, w/ the HG's just going thru the motions

"Brenchel" aka "Brendan and I" aka "Rachel or I" whatever you want to call the collective force is running the house now ... Meow Meow, The Diabolical Genius and the rest of the jokers are going down

Hearing the Brigade go on about how they can't catch a break is so ridiculous.
They've had hoh two of the three weeks and none of them would even have been nominated had Matt not volunteered.
After he was called out for "playing both sides of the house" he wasn't voted out.
How much more luck do they want?

Lane was hilarious tonight! Him and his pop rocks oh my god.

[krystl]

Is Matt trying to be stupid or did he really think his backdoor plan would work? C'mon, even if he put Rachel and Brendon up and one got the Veto, one would most likely still be going home, so why on earth would Matt have put 2 other people up? So stupid.

I don't think he cared whether it worked or not. Basically he is off of Rachel and Brendon's radar so he is satisfied.

This game is driving me crazy because I just want Brendon gone and everyone thinks someone else is going to get them out. They are going to end up in the final 4 at this rate.

It always seems to work that way. Classic one was Evel Dick's season. They had so many opportunities to get him out and they were too afraid to mess with him, or thought someone else was more important that week. I was glad, because I liked him, but they are usually pretty dumb about this stuff.

Crowd filing inside the Reality TV Arena....

Hello and welcome to Episode 10 of Big Brother Season 12. I'm BroadwayBomber55.

Joel: And well, well, well. It is I, the quintessential studmuffin. Joel 'Squeeze my lemons 'til the juice runs down my leg' Gertner! Crowd chanting: GERTNER! GERTNER! GERTNER!

Brachel...

Joel: Just waiting for a rabbit in boiling water

I have to admit, I loved that "I love you" edit

Joel: Nobody cares about these 2, AG. Cmon

Time to see who's evicted!

Okay, Lane and Britney saw through Andrew's little speech, and Rachel didn't? Guess she's not quite as bright as she thinks she is.

And I know she's a mean girl, but Britney's impression of Rachel's reaction to Andrew's speech was pretty funny.

Joel: i called it - they used the "playing with fire" line

Ragan is the most non drama gay guy to be in this house ever.

Joel: UGH! to Kathy's sob story!! UGGGHHHHhh!!@fdkldsdg

"I was a mom at 18!" Sooo? "I had to walk around high school pregnant!"

Joel: Two story lines I couldn't care less about. This is hogwash.

Hey Andrew. It is called CAMPAIGNING ya idiot

Joel: Andrew is blowing this up!

Episode 10 - InGame Play By Play 2nd Period

Joel: Wahhhh..."I barely have enough money to feed my family"..."I need money for my kids education". Maybe you should have skipped the boob job then.

A BB TV blog writer in the media gondola wired for sound: My husband correctly predicted the soundbite they'd use between the narrated recap and the opening credits would be " Gimme some pop rocks!"

Shouldn't Brendon and Rachel be "Radon" instead of Brenchel?

Kathy said Andrew "screamed" at her....lmao

Joel: Ooh, Kristen. You're so hot. I like her being dirty in the mud.

Oh my god, Kristen's body is just slamming. So hot.

Andrew was looking at Kathy at that confrontation, not Kristin. It was directed at Kathy. Kristin just spoke up first

A BB fan in the front row: im hoping they keep andrew matt just made a really valid point!

"I think you can get yourself out of this." (Matt about Andrew) Maybe if you didn't put him there in the first place!

Now Matt wants to KEEP Andrew? Oh Brigade, LOL. Stop listening to his plans, he has bad luck and his plans backfire. KISS - keep it
simple stupid. If you had put up Rachel or Bredan LIKE INTENDED then you'd had mad some real progress. But no.

they think kathy can't win a hoh? well people like renny and jerry did in s10. if she stays, i think she wins hoh.

Stacy is here! wtf BB is gonna let his wife weigh in on the fake disease thats screwed up they should just scratch it and not show any more of it

Hope there is alot of libations tonite....we may get our money's worth!

Joel: I get that Andrew and Kristen are both in the wrong here, but I just came away from that confrontation really disliking Kristen.

A BB fan in the skybox seats: IMO Matts hoh is a total waste if Andrew goes, what a letdown this week has been NT

Rachel gained weight.

Make Brendon and me. Make Brendon and me. It's the objective case, you nitwit.

A BB fan in the upper deck: I don't like Kathy giving the "I need the money" speech and tugging at people's heart strings.
The chances of being cast on a reality show are slim, she has to come up with a better plan to secure her son's future.

Lane is funny again. Loving Julie too. Crowd chanting: CHENBOT! CHENBOT! CHENBOT!

Joel: I dislike that crap too. She should go on Oprah or something instead.

A BB fan in the lower bowl seats: That was a pretty big blow-up between Andrew and Kristin.
I don't like Kristen much.

[BroadwayBomber55]

Episode 10 - InGame Play By Play 3rd Period

A BB TV insider in the media gondola: Brendon seriously thinks Rachel is the best thing that's ever happened to him? He really needs to get out more.

A BB TV play by play commentator in the media gondola: If Kathy's telling the truth about having been ill and facing the potential of leukemia in the future (and I'd like to think they wouldn't have two players faking illness excuses in the same season), I hope Matt's lie about his wife comes out and soon. I can't believe Kathy would take that well. For that matter, the likelihood of at least some of the other house guests having known someone who has been seriously ill is pretty high, and they may very well find his lie upsetting too.

Hmm...guess his wife isn't too pleased with the lie and didn't know about it ahead of time. I can't believe no one in the house hasn't asked a few key questions, considering how vague Matt's been about his wife's illness. I mean, he brought up the disease and how rare it is. Why isn't someone asking something as simple as what it's called and what kind of treatments are available for it?

A BB TV color commentator in the media gondola: Matt's wife made a good point about Matt when they interviewed her: that he's smart, but he lacks common sense.

A BB fan in the sauna area: I don't find Lane and his buddies shooting animals very funny

Julie should ask him about how he feels about Kathy's situation.

Joel: It would have been interesting to see his reaction to being asked how he feels about his lie when someone else in the house is facing that sort of situation IRL.

Wow, Captain Khosher was on! Crowd chanting: holy sh*t! holy sh*t! holy sh*t!

Joel: He did have a name for it, something that apparantly is true or he once heard on some medical show. He said it was like expensive or untreatable.

HA! I love it! Andrew not going down without causing drama... exposing all the BS he's seen/heard in the house! Will they buy it! I think so, but either wya, it will stay in their minds.

Matt's wife is kind of annoying to listen to.

A BB radio insider in the media gondola: I really want Matt's lie to come out now.
Matt's getting rather cocky in saying he's the best player the game has had.
It remains to ve seen if he's even the best player this season.
Agree that Hayden's the weak link. He a bit of a doofus.

Andrew, Andrew, Andrew...what in the world? What was he thinking?! Crowd chanting: U F'ED UP! U F'ED UP! to Andrew.

Andrew spilled all the beans about who's saying what behind's who's back and secret showmance of Hayden and whathername. He basically voted himself out of the house if some people where on the fence I guess.

Joel: it looked like when they went to commercial there was some arguing going on in the livingroom.

I liked the way Julie just basically told Kristen to shut up. By telling her it wasnt her time to speak.

little do they know they havent won the war with andrew, just the battle.

Joel: Yay, so pleased Andrew called out Kristen and Hayden.
I believe every word.

Still think he'll get booted.

A BB print insider in the media gondola: I guess at this point he figured he had nothing to lose. They were going to vote him out anyway.
I think he knew he couldn't save himself why not take some people down with him and throw some suspicion on them for a change. They have been throwing it at him since the 1st week when they thougt he was the sab.

[BroadwayBomber55]

Episode 10 - InGame Play By Play Overtime

I guess his detailing of the situation must have been in the episode I missed. I still think it's strange that no one's been able to trip him up with regard to his story, unless they're just being too polite to ask him about it or he's said he doesn't really want to dwell on it, which would be understandable. I wonder what it is that Brendon thinks he can do to help, however. If he's a graduate student/swim coach, I can't imagine that he has better contacts in the medical world than Matt does, unless through some odd set of circumstances (he's related to a medical authority or something like that).

ITA about Andrew. He knows he's probably going home, so he might as well stir the game up before he goes. I wonder if BB encouraged him to do so in the DR. Something needs to happen to liven up these people. Collectively, they're about the dullest group ever. They just sit around having relatively bland conversations about very little.

Joel: I hope at the very least Andrew is able to cast some doubt on Kristen. He should have made that speech at POV to give people some time to chew it over.

These speeches are actually pretty interesting this year. All the other years they have been boring.

Another BB fan in the front row: Not once did Lane suggest that he kills animals for sustenance! Killing animals for mere sport is not cool! I can't believe that that Julie even broached his obscenity!

Joel: I still wish it was Kathy walking out. I hate to see Andrew leave.

What on earth is Rachel wearing? She looks like a big pink package of Jiffy Pop (or perhaps two big pink packages of Jiffy Pop about to split their tops).

Joel: Julie just told Andrew that was the best last minute plea speech she had ever seen.

Kathy's roots are shocking.
Just go with your natural hair colour, that yellow straw is not flattering.

I wouldn't want Andrew to touch my feet!

Voting time!

Damn, I was hanging on to hope that they might bring someone back, but not now Julie told him about Matt's wife.

Awwww, I haven't Bern fond of Hayden, but I really liked his goodbye message.

Joel: and there it is! a new twist! wonder what that is?

A BB fan in the Reality TV Bar and Grill: We have a drinking game for Rachel's "my man" line!

Joel: Rachel needs to stop leaving these hateful nasty goodbye speeches.

She is pathetic with this getting between me and my man stuff. She is a totally insecure person. She doesn't even want whoever she is with to have a friendship. What an immature little girl.

if julie told him that then it might be because of andrew's speech and he's likely been excluded.

Andrew is out!

Andrew now knows about Matt's lie, and he took it awfully well, considering how upset he was about everything else. He was suspicious about Matt's story only because he'd never heard of the disease before and was surprised that the disease was real but the story was a lie.

Joel: Nice videotaped messages from everyone but Rachel who yet again said that nobody gets between her and her man. So, I guess no menage a trois in her future.

Hayden was especially nice, saying that Andrew was a wonderful representative of his faith because he takes it so seriously and that his family and anyone who worships with him should be proud. Of course that was recorded before Andrew outed Hayden's relationship with Kristen, but Hayden did make a point to shake Andrew's hand before he left too.

A BB radio play by play commentator in the media gondola: Anyone notice that Julie Chen's HPF (hair poofiness factor) has been a 0 or 1 so far this season? I kinda miss the poof and the glitter!

Joel: Just to put the tin lid on a miserable night for me with Andrew leaving Kristen will probably get hoh now.

HoH time!

A BB color commentator in the media gondola: Ok, this is getting formulaic.
If you make a good speech, you WILL be eliminated. Just throw some fluffy, small talk, "I'm nice, I love you all!" speech out there and you will win.
Rachel needs to STFU. For the third time in a row she referenced "me and my man". Is that how every one of your goodbyes wil go? And when they dont get between yall you'll say "Thank God you didnt' come between me and my man."? I twas funny that she threw a gay twist in there too: "not another man, ew."

Pretty tame goodbye messages if you ask me. The others had it way worse.

Joel: Britney needs to imitate Rachel saying that next time she and Lane are supplying the dialogue for an endless Radon workout.

Uh oh this is not a good comp for Brendon and Rachel You kmow everyone is going to knock them out first.

The ring for the hoh comp seems unnecessarily large.

[BroadwayBomber55]

Episode 10 - InGame Play By Play Shootout

Joel: Could Rachel have yelled any louder?

lane's gonna get it

The Brigade is such an awesome alliance! LOL

Rachel wins HoH!

Joel: I love that Rachel won HOH again. Makes things interesting. If Lane won, he would be a puppet or not know who to put up. I can see hm being controlled by forces.

I loved the competition. Ultimate showdown between Rachel v Hayden.

Joel: like rachel or not, but the girl is a fighter. i think people's opinion of her will change if she keeps this up. i don't recall janelle being liked early on in her season, and no i'm not comparing the two.

Oh snap. Andrew's outing worked. Rachel is arguing with Kri about the showmance. I guess now we know who's going up

I'm going to vote for Rachel as the new saboteur because A) the money may appeal to her, B) she will be inept at it, and C) it may result in her being evicted.

Joel: Boy, Matt's HOH decision making process is looking better and better for the Brigade all the time, isn't it? If he's the brains of that operation, they haven't a prayer.

I wish they'd get Brendon to take over as saboteur just to see if Rachel would say, "Nobody gets between me and my man. Not even my man. "

So, Rachel wins another HoH. Who will she put up? Find out Sunday.

[BroadwayBomber55]

Episode 10 - BB55's Takes

Love her or hate her, Rachel is fighting her way to stay inside the BB house. She may be a meany, but she's playing the comps well.

At this moment I'm really pleased Rachel won.
Now don't screw it up by making some stupid nominations like Britney and Ragan.
Hayden and Kristen for the block... Please!!!!!!

Not to mention if she doesn't let Brendon in on it the fake romance may be quite finished..

Poor Andrew.

Andrew made a great speech to try to stay in, but he got voted out.

And Kathy adding drama to get sympathy.

Kristen getting face time and has a hot bod. Joel Gertner likes her so much. Kind of reminds me of the Kat from the WWF/E days.

Anways, the speeches are saving this season. Will it continue? R&B got to know by now that everyone is gunning for them. Get the other couple out or at least make them a target.

[RhodyYanksFan]

Too bad that Andrew left. They're so stupid for not listening to his last resort speech. Ah well, it looks like Hayden or Kristen should be going home this week. I know she's annoying, but I like Rachel mainly because she's not part of an alliance called the Brigade. Please let one of them go home already.

Kristen went from the absentee houseguest to mega-bitch.

[destelle]

Well that was something ... going down in a blaze of glory.
I wish somehow that Andrew could stay. I kinda liked his awkwardness.
I cannot believe that Rachel won HOH.
I agree she has been good at comps but the utterly annoying 'getting between me and my man' is wearing thin...
And why is she pissed that Hayden and Kristen are in a showmance ... at least they were smart enough to keep it semi-hidden.

[NYDCYankee]

I wonder what brought on the fight that Rachel and Kristen got into at the very end of the show. I guess Andrew's comments. I would have liked to hear more of that.

I loved, loved, loved Andrew's speech! It's causing great drama in the house.

I'm happy that Rachel won HOH because Britney is my favorite and she is safe. Plus I like Rachel even though she is completely delusional. The only downside for me is that my least favorite, Brendon, is safe for another week. Words cannot express how much I want him gone. He gets a favorable edit on the show but if you follow Jokers or watch the feeds you would understand why I just can't tolerate him.

Rachel's goodbye messages are so hysterical. Every one is the same. That girl is crazy.
