3rd Eviction -shanrick's thoughts

Finally some good drama is about to happen! Dani likes to makes the moves and doesn't care who pays the price, which makes good tv.

First off, I LOVE LOVE LOVE that they showed that Kalia is a big lair!! I hate Kalia!! She is so irritating, she is lazy, runs her mouth non stop, she always says she isn't a floater but she is to busy floating back and forth to know what is going on. She also cries and complains how she hates being in the house and how she should just leave. Then LEAVE!

I loved that we finally have some fighting! The producers even did a halfway decent job of cutting the fight together. The one issue I had was that they made it seem like everyone was in the kitchen for the whole fight. They weren't. It happened it phases.
Kalia, Brendan, Jeff and Lawon in the kitchen fighting
fight dissipated
Kalia cried to Jordan in the purple room
Jordan started to get everyone together for the house meeting
Big fight starts in the kitchen
Dani and Shelly (they stayed in a bedroom talking)didn't want to come to the kitchen at all and didn't show up until the very end. The fight was about 2 hours from start to finish.

Eviction

I love that Dom did a crazy speech, most people just say "thanks I had a great time"

Not shocked at all the Dom walked out the door. I love that "I'm not a floater Kalia" cried about evicting Dom but she didn't have to but she did it because she is a floater.

I laughed at Dani's "I'm not afraid to go against the king and queen". You have to respect that Dani plays her own game. That is why I like her. but damn that girl needs to stop saying blah, blah, blah in every conversation!

Porsche is a totally waste of space up her "this jellyfish" comment was great!

This is the second week in a row that the evicted house guest threw the POV, these newbies are dumb!

HOH comp

I think that Dani has this one in the bag, she works out like a maniac. I think the boys are going to fall first, this game seems meant for shorter people. I'm guessing Lawon bites it first, cuz he has no game. I wonder if this is going to be the comp with a costume "prize"?

If Dani wins like I think she will we are in for a fun week. I don't think Jordan has the skills to hang in there and keep the Vets safe. This will be the first time that the power shifts, but how far will it shift? Dani isn't sitting as pretty as she was before the "backdoor Jeff plan" blew up in her face. I think we will finally get to see if Rachel really has changed, you always got to see a different side of her when she wasn't in power.

And how will my fav Shelly fare this week?????

Big Brother 13 - Episode 9

It's that time again...time to find out what I think about the characters on BIG BROTHER 13 - THE ALL STAR SEASON PART TWO - wait, there are new people on the show?  Who?  They aren't on camera?

which I will say, makes me quite opinionated in this season as today's episode centered around Jeff, Jordan, Brenden, Rachel, and Daniele...which it tends to do each episode...irritating and yet, what's more irritating is how useless the newbies are.

Brenden - I don't dislike him.  I think he is smart, honest, and way too emotional.  He would be a lot better if there was no Rachel, but then, it wouldn't even be the same show without Rachel.

Rachel - the star of the show.  She wins all competitions and holds court with the cameras.  Big Brother LOVES WATCHING Rachel.  I find her annoying, innapropriate, and sad.  But she also plays an honest game if you think about it.  Her emotions get in the way of her gameplay though so she has to win competitions to stay...and she does.

Jeff - a fairly good player but I'm so tired of his diary room nonsense.  He always has something rude to say about people who aren't like him...tonight he was going on about how a woman should not have hair and need to take care of business.  I just want to smack out his arrogance sometimes.  He also seems like he lays around a lot.

Jordan - The QUEEN of laying around.  on Live Feeds there were four cameras showing her laying in four different positions.  She is a fairly good player, smarter than she acts, and a nice girl.  A little bit boring though.

Daniele - one of my favorite characters...however, tonight she shot her self in the foot by working so hard to keep Dominic.  I don't see her getting out of this one, but you never know...

Dominic - the only camera ready newbie.  He is playing a smart game to a point but he talks to too many people.  Throwing the veto was for the 3rd time, the dumbest move...and in the end, he will probably pay for it by getting sent home big time.

Adam - "the brains" uh no.  Adam is not my favorite.  I don't find him interesting at all...but he tries.

Shelly - currently the best player.  She has everyone loving her.  They know she is a good player but they don't know how wicked she is...and funny enough she is actually a nice lady who is in it to win.  She just might...

THE REST....here is where it gets interesting.  The rest of the people are not on camera so they are only in the house but  not technically on the show.

Porshe - the dumbest plot of the year was to create four weeks of floaters.  Porshe would have been out a lot earlier if she wasn't safe.  I think she is kind of a strong competitor but people like her don't stick around long.  She is quite useless at this point.

Lawon - i still cant get over his one and only scene in the show where he told brenchel that he was in it to play hard, just like he has been doing.  NO. what he has been doing is wearing ugly pajamas (bright t's, grey sweatshirts, basketball shorts, plaid socks, and orange crocs (ugh) around ALL FRIGGIN DAY LONG DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AND NOT GETTING SENT HOME.  I'm DONE with him.

Kahlia - Not only is she as useless as Lawon, but she is even less likeable.  Lawon is at least a nice guy.  Kahlia has no positive traits other than she is under the radar.  so sad that the show would pick such a boring character for Big Brother.  So sad.

with that said, here is a mini recap of the show...

Rachel puts adam and dom on the block so the two talk strategy and decide to fight for the veto and then tell rachel that but actually dom asks rachel and brenden to be in the final four with him and Daniele and he will throw the competition to ensure that.  Daniele tells rachel and brenden to backdoor Jeff which makes Rachel and Brenden start to not trust Daniele.  Dom told Shelly that he wants her to save him so that Jeff and Jordan will eventually get out but Shelly loves Jeff and Jordan so she told Jordan and then Jordan lied and told Rachel that Dominic wanted to get all four of them out (unless it wasn't a lie and Dom did say that...which was not edited in the show, but might be true).  Brenden won the veto by spelling a long word and decided to keep the votes as is.  At this point it looks like Dom will go home for playing too many sides.

until tomorrow.

Shanrick's thoughts

All I have to say about tonight's show is that, Dani you pushed too hard too fast and messed up your game, and you had the best chance at winning. You were playing a great social game and your name NEVER came up as a target once the keys ended. The one thing Dani still has going for her is that she is a powerhouse in comps. I only want her to win the upcoming hoh cuz it would make some DRAMA in the house!

And of course, technotronics!

OMG this is the best recap ever!

Big Brother 13 - Episode 8

Not the most exciting episode, but I'll give my two cents.

This was the first episode that I've watched since I got the live feeds.  More scoop on that later...

Overall, Sunday is always boring until the end, and there was no difference in this episode.

WHO WANTS TO SEE MY HOH ROOM?



Rachel won HOH and had to show her HOH room.  I liked how they all threw pillows at her, making it seem like they genuinly wanted to have a good time with her.  Then she showed them the room and read a letter which announced her engagement to the house.  Jeff said he didn't know she was engaged but she said she was engaged in the first episode and I believe she wears an engagement ring.  As usual, Jeff is not the sharpest tool in the shed, but neither is Rachel

LIVE FEED SCOOP:  Shannon said that she saw Shelly giving Rachel advice on how to act like a decent lady aka wear underwear when you have a short dress on and don't brag when you when you show the HOH room.  I saw Rachel showing off the room and I think she went back and forth between being really gracious and really snotty.  Apparently it didn't work since everyone trashed her in the Diary Room during the TV show.  Also, everyone seems to love Shelly.  She cleans a lot and they all treat her like the mom, which I think actually annoys her.  Still, I don't think Shelly will be going home anytime soon.

Waste of Space Lawon came to make a deal with Rachel and Brenden.  He stuttered nonsense and Brenchel basically were not sold on him after he left the room.  Adam also smoozed, as well Dominic.  It does seem like Rachel and Brenden enjoy talking strategy with Dom, but he's also a pretty big threat, compared to the other newbies.

LUXERY COMPETITION

Tori Spelling did not come... :( BOO!  Instead it was a product placement tie in with SAME NAME starring David Hasselhoff and David Hasselhoff.  I could have slept through this part.  I liked that Jordan (the winner) didn't take Rachel with her for the luxery but I don't understand why she took Kahlia.  Kahlia, like Lawon is a waste of space and even worse she is way more annoying.  During this time, Rachel and Brenden got in their 30th fight of the season.  Rachel fake cried and Brenden got exasperated.  They are a very dysfunctional couple.  Shannon says they have sex in the house.  INNAPROPRIATE!  (Jeff and Jordan do not - respectful).

NOMINATIONS

With almost an hour of giving reasons why certain people should go up over others, Rachel "I'm thinking of changing the entire game" decided to pick Adam and Dominic as expected.  Unless Rachel has a backdoor plan to get out Jeff and Jordan, there is absolutely no "changing the game" expected.

LIVE FEED SCOOP:  The live feeds are pretty boring.  They walk around, make up board games to play, eat lots of digiorno pizza, and talk for hours and hours about where they are going to sleep.  There is some game play discussions but it's more theory and "what happened in past seasons" then what is really happening now.  A little dissapointing, yet slightly entertaining.

up next:  Wed - Power of Veto Competition (my favorite part of the show) and Thurs - someone goes home...

Big Brother 13 - Episode 7

EVICTION



First things first:  Was it Let's Dress Slutty night...because almost every girl was wearing a sausage type 1990s cocktail waitress dress.  I'm confused.  They looked hot..but sluttty...

Overall, tonight was a very sad episode.  A person with a kind heart and a different type of game play went home in week 2, while SLOTHS like Kahlia and Lawon stay.  EVILS like Rachel and Porshe stay.  IRRITANTS like Adam and Brenden stay.  HOMOPHOBES like Jeff stay.  LIARS like Shelly, Daniele, and Dominic stay.  That leaves Jordan who irritated me with her choice of nominees but honestly, she is playing a fairly smart game.

I do like Daniele and Dominic, but I just feel it's so unfair that CASSIE was sent home.

Worst of all, Brenden and Rachel think that Cassie is a liar.  I can't wait till they see the truth...but with those two, it won't even matter.  They are so stuck in the Rachel and Brenden world.  I'm going to say it for the 19th time...WHY ARE THEY STILL ON THIS SHOW?!?!?!?!  They should have been immediately sent packing (Rachel week one) (Brenden week two). At this rate they could win the whole freakin' game, if Lawon and Kahlia don't snatch it before them.

What a frustrating season.

HOH

Fans of the show answered questions about the houseguests and the houseguests had to guess what they thought.
First Question: All Correct
2nd Question: All Correct
3rd Question: KAHLIA OUT - DUH. how obvious that she would be the first out as she is the worst player ever.
4th Question: Jeff is out. I would have been out as well as I think Shelly is nicer than Brenden but I do think Brenden is a hero sort.
5th Question:  Adam, Dom, and Lawon out. Darn.
6th Question: Both Wrong
7th Question: Brenden is out..

RACHEL WINS AGAIN...and like I said, because they were not taken out week one and week two they will always be in this stupid game...

what?  Oh rachel and brenden couldn't go home week one?  oh, you mean rachel was HOH...oh...of course.

what?  Oh week two could have sent one of them home?  But Jordan thought it would help her to keep them? Oh...

Do you see how irritating this game is?!?!  Maybe Rachel really does deserve to be in this game...she won a few comps last year too and she is slaying this year...

LIVE FEEDS

I haven't watched much. Just saw that Rachel and Brenden were quietly arguing and arguing.

Big Brother 13 - Episode 6

I'd like to start this blog by saying I was hating the beginning...you see, I LIKE DOMINIC AND CASSIE!

THE BEGINNING

After Jordan nominated Adam and Dominic, Adam worried that Jordan and Jeff were out to get him but they assured him they wanted him to stay and therefore needed to throw the veto competition which he agreed to...WTH?!?!?  Why are people throwing the veto competition when they are on the block???

Dominic rolled his eyes when Adam said they need to not campaign against each other.  Another dumb comment from Adam.

Rachel and Brendan are mad that Cassie is not put up.  Rachel hates Cassie just because Cassie doesn't like Porshe.  Its so ridiculous.

Dominic and Daniele continue to get closer and Daniele starts chatting with Rachel in agreement that it should be Cassie going home. The only thing is, Daniele actually Cassie but needs Dominic on her side (Dominic and Cassie are very close).  Daniele is so manipulative..and yet I really like her.

VETO COMPETITION

I may not like food challenges but I LOVE veto competitions. Thats where the game changes.  Contestants had to chew bubble gum and walk on a balance beam.  At this time Adam was horrible, Jordan fell early, Rachel fell next but took 2 weeks of slop and managed to insult Jeff and Jordan, Jeff got pissed at Rachel, Brendan almost won, and Dominic actually won!

Finally, someone from the newbies won...but...with Dominic's win, Cassie was now in trouble.

Jeff snapped at Rachel for her rudeness (saying that Jordan wasn't even trying to win and that Jeff was supporting Jordan's loss) (you see Rachel wanted to win to take Dominic off and put Cassie up).

Then the funniest part of the show happened.  Rachel went and hid in the bushes and cried...and the cameras had to find a way to look inside the bushes.  The storyline was awful but watching big brother struggling to film inside the bushes was hilarious.  Lawon even said it looked like Brendan was talking to himself.

THE END

Jeff, Jordan, Cassie and Shelly wanted Rachel and Brenden to be backdoored.

Rachel, Brenden, and Daniele wanted Cassie gone...

but in the end, Jeff and Jordan went against what was best for them and decided to go with what was best for the alliance...and Shelly and Cassie are up for eviction. So Sad!

With that said, I will now update my thoughts on the contestants

Porshe : Before (liked her) Now (can't stand her.  she is a nasty thing and on my hit list)

Rachel:  Before (can't stand her) Now (she is still annoying, possibly mentally ill, and should not be on the show two years in a row. She even said "America hates me" then why do you want to be on a show where millions of people hate you. You are weird.

Brendan: Before (can't stand him)  Now (ditto.  he's useless and an emotional player just like Rachel)

Jeff: Before (liked him but don't like the way he talks to Jordan) Now (still like him in the game but his misogony and homophobia (not shown on air) is ridiculous.  He also should not be allowed back on the show, but I still enjoy him in the game.

Jordan Before (liked her but annoyed with her playing dumb and lazy ever scene).  Now (same but I respect her more as a game player.  Only problem is, by keeping Brendan and Rachel, they might end up going home sooner than later.

Shelly:  Before (liked her) Now (i still like her but she is a quiet player and should go home next)

Cassie: Before (liked her) Now (still like her)

Dominic:  Before (favorite player) Now (favorite player)

Daniele:  Before (liked her) Now (another favorite player...she is playing really well I think)

Adam:  Before (liked him) Now (awful. annoying and not a good player...waste of space on the show)

Kahlia: Before (annoying) Now (why is she not on the block. do they want her to win the game. she is awful!!!)

Lawon: Before (annoying) Now (why is he not on the block. he is better than Kahlia but Jeff even said "do we want Lawon to win the game"...he should not be in the house still. waste of space for this show.

I WILL REPEAT!  Why is Kahlia and Lawon not on the block??? Not even mentioned. These two are gonna play it safe until they are the only two  left. ugghhhhh

off to watch the live feeds...

Big Brother 13 - Episode 5

Cassie in her Modeling days

A fairly enjoyable show today.  I've never been a fan of the food challenges and I don't think Big Brother should concern itself with the whole have/have not food thing...but I do like NOMINATION night, so that makes Sunday bearable.

AFTER EVICTION

With Keith gone, the house was in flurry over what two newbies betrayed the alliance.  This was interesting as no one suspected Shelly and Kahlia.  However, I hated it when Rachel butted her face in to be rude and talk about how great Porshe is, pissing Cassie off, and then pissing Rachel off even more.  "Are their sides?"  LET ME AT HER!!!!!!  Rachel has been on my shit list for two years now...

WHY IS JORDAN NOT SENDING BRENDEN AND RACHEL HOME...that would be the best strategy ever!!!!!!

I felt so bad when Cassie and Dominic were talking and Adam and Shelly were talking.  Overall they are my four favorite players right now (as well as Daniele) so it sucks that they are the targets rather than clown Lawon and annoying Kahlia.

Kahlia just seems like the person you don't like in the real world.  Although, Cassie has an attitude, I really like her.  I love that she was brave and ate next to Rachel without talking to her.  Rachel is an emotional player and Cassie served her some quiet bullying right on a plate...and I was eating it all up!!!

I am not a fan of Porshe at all.  Why can't she go home now?  Oh, she can't?  Darn!

I am not a fan of Brendan but I did like that he put on his silly costume and played with the newbies.  Acting weird makes me think that Brendan actually has a little bit of normal in him...we will see how the summer unfolds.  Will Rachel outlast Brendan or will Brendan outlast Rachel like last year and become a miserable miser again?

FOOD CHALLENGE

Yet, another boring food challenge...WHY IS THIS A PART OF THE SHOW...I DON'T CARE!  Kahlia's dramafest was insanely annoying (paramedics had to help her...really???)  I guess Lawon on top of her would be a problem, but she ain't SMALL!  Daniele...I would be concerned about...Kahlia...not so much...

Brendan and Rachel win again...and they will continue to win until everyone goes home...because no seems to be bothered by them winning everything...getting rid of strong people used to be the point of the game...now silly people like Keith go home.

NOMINATIONS

Jeff and Jordan have their work cut out for them since Adam, Cassie, and Dominic went upstairs to make deals.

Adam - told Jeff and Jordan he went behind their backs and voted for Keith to stay.  Then said he was planning on working for them...Adam, if you don't expect anyone to tell on you...DON'T TELL!!!  Why did you do that?!  That is stupid.  You should go home for being paranoid like Keith...seriously.  Bad Move.

Cassie - Smart move to go and talk to them.  You know Rachel is out to get you but you go to Jeff and Jordan who are way nicer (minus Jeff's homophobia which shouldn't come into play in the actual game of course) than Brendan and Rachel...it could backfire on you, but at least you tried and didn't just sit back and get sent home.

Dominic - I actually like the game you are playing.  After getting "played" by Kahlia and Shelly and thinking it was Adam who did it, you started showmancing Daniele (GOOD MOVE - although they will probably fall in love) and went to Jeff and Jordan to make a deal.  Now this could majorly backfire but at least you got Jeff and Jordan to say they enjoy hanging with you (longevity) and you were honest that you were leading the other side and that no one from the vets had ever tried to make a deal with you so duh, you would be on the other side.

The end of the show had Jordan going against Rachel and putting up Adam and Dominic rather than Cassie.  However, by keeping Rachel safe she can't really bitch.  Although, this is Rachel and hopefully she will shoot herself in the foot, allow Dominic to get the Power of Veto and send Rachel home!!!!!  In my dreams anyway.

I was really proud of Jordan.  She stopped playing with her hair, looking up at the ceiling, and got out of bed to PlAY A GAME!  I liked Jordan the year she won and I'm liking her again now.  (Thanks to Alethea for her brilliant description of Jordans actions prior tonight).

So Adam and Dominic are up.  If Dominic can't get the Power of Veto then hopefully he can persuade the house to get rid of Adam.  This is sad though as I kind of like both of them...

Who will win the Power of Veto?

Live blogging ep 5 with shanrick

Porsche is such a spoiled brat, she does nothing in the game. I don't like her.

Why is Porsche wearing such a slutty prom dress?

Whoa ghetto Rachel in the DR! lol but I agree that the newbies are playing dumb!

I love this newbie meeting trying to figure out how the "rats" are, Kalia isn't the best actress. Kalia looks like a country bumpkin in the DR with her plaid shirt and crazy hair.

Oh god bitchy cocky Rachel is coming out with a vengeance! This is when I start to not like Rachel. She just always has to rub it in, hello that is why no one likes you! I love that Rachel thinks that she is such a good actress with her faking "their are sides?"

OMG I'm loving that everyone is "I don't know who voted for what", too funny.

Porsche, sorry everyone is a member of the "we hate Porsche club".

I love Shelly!!! She is playing a great game. No one suspects her at all.

Love the standoff in the kitchen between Cassi and Rachel, "all day..."

I hate the "who wants to see my HOH room" DRs about how people hate going up and kissing the HOH's ass. Jordan is a sweetie.

This whole cast needs to be sponsored by a tracksuit company, they are all so casual. Not that I wouldn't be also. haha

OMG this Brendan and Dom show went on forever, it was slightly funny cuz everyone added some bits of storyline to the "show." Being in this house must be sooooo boring!

The distrust and flipping in this season seems like it is happening so quick, it is only week 2. Maybe I have just forgot how the game goes but it seems like everyone is super paranoid this year. I think the newbies vs vets is making people go crazy.

Rachel, Cassi isn't a floater she has a side she is on it is call the newbie side. You just don't like her because she is prettier than you.

Have or Have Not Comp

Love the 2 people in one suit!
Kalia you are lazy and have no game so I can't believe you are talking about being pumped for anything. This comp looks crazy, Brenchel are killing it though like always. I love that Shelly isn't the best at comps but she is always trying. Adam wearing a Dominic backpack, lol. What is wrong with Kalia how is she so uncoordinated?

Kalia is such a baby hypochondriac. Oh my shoulder!
Kalia- "does it look all crazy?"
Dom - "no it looks totally normal"
Kalia - "I was cleared by a medic, I'm sure I'll be back to my antics in no time"
shanrick - I'm pretty sure that whole act was one of your antics

I can tell you from the live feeds that Kalia was totally fine and using her shoulder like normal, I know this cuz the other house guest were all talking about how Kalia was full of it during the comp and mad at her "injury".

Noms

Not shocking. Dom and Adam

Ep 4- shanrick

I love that they showed them playing "big booty" they play this game a couple of times a week, it is always funny to watch. I find it funny that they made it seem like Jeff didn't want to play the game, he was totally playing and having a good time. Jordan on the other hand didn't seem like she was having a good time when they were playing.

The drum circle went on for awhile, and everyone but Jordan was having a good time, Jordan was just sitting by the pool.

Rachel and Porsche were DRUNK that night I think between them they drank some beer and a bottle of wine. Which leads us to one of the stupidest Brenchel fights to date: Brendan mad at Rachel for drinking and pretty much just being Rachel. Bren is a misogynistic d-bag. "I don't want to be the guy pulling his fiance and starting yelling at her, she isn't the Vegas party girl she is almost my wife." I'm surprised he also didn't added "get in the kitchen and make me some dinner!"

I love you, I love you, I love you

Brendan don't make me feel bad for crazy Rachel! I love that Brendan is worried about looking stupid and looking professional he probably shouldn't skype his penis on the Internet!

It is emasculate you idiots, not demasculalant or demasculintized!!

Dani owes Julie Chen a punch in the face for that awful "no I love you?" crap. That was awful and uncalled for. Julie knows their relationship. I felt so bad for Dani.

By a vote of 6 to 4 the first evicted house guest is Keith!

Yeah Keith is gone! He really didn't play a good game. Although Porsche is irritating as well, I'm bummed she is untouchable in the house for a couple of weeks.

I loved his goodbye messages!

Cassi- "you came here to play the dating game, this is big brother"

Porsche-"you can look but you can't touch"

HOH comp

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that it was a repeat of the last time Jordan won HOH! That is what all the vets and I were hoping for!

Now let's talk about the most shocking thing of the show, the clothes!

What the hell was "fashionista" Lawon wearing??? Did he think he was a villain in Batman?!?!

What was the pink monstrosity that was the Chenbot!?! This outfit was so awful I can't even talk about it!

Big Brother 13 - Episode 4

The first LIVE show and first EVICTION!

THE RECAP

Big Brother loves to spend the first half of the show not being live and instead show what's been going on the last few days on the show.  This time, as usual they edited it to confuse us.  The main thing they did was to show Kahlia telling the newbies that she would do anything they wanted to keep her neck in the game.  Interesting, since during eviction, she votes to get rid of Keith (along with Shelly).  Do those two have their own alliance or conversations that Big Brother doesn't want to show?

Brendan and Rachel's arguing was another big part of the show, making me think the house is pretty darn boring.  I still don't understand why they were asked back.  They weren't even good players last year.

Julie Chen - if you ever wear a pink "Golden Girls" pantsuit again when it's not Easter Sunday, I'm going to fire your stylist immediately.  Wait...let's just fire the stylist and get it over with. THAT WAS AWFUL!

EVICTION

Why were some people dressed up and others werent?  Porshe, this isn't prom 2000?!  Lawon, stop making your ugly clothes?! Dominic, I LOVED your suspender outfit. So Cute!  Keith, you obsession with purples, pinks, and baby blues make me really question your sexual orientation...however, the house voted to EVICT KEITH!  I wasn't surprised but I was surprised who did it (Kahlia and Shelly), I would have expected the whole house to have done it. This will make for an interesting showdown after the show when they all try to figure out how people voted.

Kahlia - don't make ugly faces like you are all mad that someone voted for Porshe.  It was you, and those faces are not going to make people believe you have a poker face, because you do not!

HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD

I love miniature golf!  Too bad it ended with no competition.  First Dominic started with a six.  Then the newbies (Rachel made all the newbies go first) sent theirs into the water until Kahlia also got a six (and then apologized for it to Dominic.  KAHLIA IF YOU ARENT GOING TO PLAY FOR YOURSELF GO HOME!!!! or you are a two faced liar and I guess you can stay. :D  Then Jordan got a 2 which annoyed me because I don't like Jordan this season.  She seems lazy on the show and just kind of sits around.  Plus she dates Evil Jeff.  So then Jeff and Brendan throw the game to "let" her win.  Jordan is like "Jeff let me win last time too".  How sad...even though she is the Big Brother champion, many would say that people "let" her win.  I wouldn't want to win that way...poor Jordan.

final thoughts...

as expected CBS (for the second time) will NOT be portraying Jeff as a raging homophobe.  I guess since he lived with two gay guys the first time (although one had to quit the first week) and one this time, he doesn't pose a threat to safety.  But to not show America how he really feels is just wrong.  Shame on you, CBS, shame on you.  Apparently he has since apologized to Kahlia - ?!?!? - what would make him apologize if he truly believes what he believes and how does Lawon feel about all this....I guess we will never know.

Who does shanrick want the first eviction to be...

I want Keith to get evicted tonight, that boy is crazy. As I said before anyone who happily throws the veto when they are nominated needs to go home.

shanrick's thoughts on the cast vol 2

Okay while my views are influenced by live feeds more than just the TV episodes, meaning I get to see more what the HG's are truly like as apposed to what the producers make them into. Here are my thought on the HG's now after spending a week with them.


Let's start with the Vets

Dick-Sadly he was never on the feeds so I have no new thoughts on him.

Dani-isn't as whinny or childish as she was on her season, I really like her and she is playing a really good social game, she hangs with everyone not just the vets.

Rachel-is way calmer than last year, I still like her but she can also be very childish and her jealousy issues are starting to come out again.

Brendan-is the same as last season kinda whinny, sometimes a bit of a bully, funny and a big plus so far he hasn't cried once this season. Although it is only week 1.

Jordan-the same has her season, such a sweetie she rarely talks bad about anyone. Not the biggest joiner when the house is having goofy fun.

Jeff-same hottie that he was in his season. I heart him, but I'm learning somethings about him that are not so great. He is a smoker and homophobic, which makes me sad.


Newbies:

Cassi- I like her more than I thought I would, so far she is very down to earth and cool. She is playing the game but not going crazy like some.

Shelly-I like her a lot she is very laid back and cool. Even though she said she wasn't going to be every ones mom cleaning up after them, she is. She is also like the soothing breeze of reason in the house. I hope after all her talk of playing a clean game she sticks to her word. If she didn't she would be the first person to make me sad if/when she broke that promise.

Lawon- Thought I would HATE him, but he is pretty funny and his crazy is just the right amount. I still don't get is fashionista comment cuz the man just wears bright colored t-shirts and short. So far he has the best attitude in the house.

Kalia-I am not a fan of her! She is that girl that always has to top whatever story someone is telling, she is super annoying. She mostly sleeps and eats, and if she is awake her mouth is running.

Dominic-Sometimes I like him sometimes I don't. When he is doing nothing game play related I like him but I think his game play is lame and he reminds me of last year's Hayden (who I didn't like) because he has this big talk but so far has no actions that follow.

Adam-I'm on the fence on him too, I can't tell where he is going yet, but I'm starting to lean to the side of not liking him. He talks about bacon a lot and his metal voice is annoying. To be honest he doesn't have that big of a presence in the house.

Keith-I still don't like him. He started out as the skeevy youth minister, now he is the super paranoid but yet full of himself dude, he is either running his mouth about how someone is doing him wrong or he is hiding in the corner.

Porsche-First I didn't really care about her one way or another but now I'm starting to really not like her. She is that girl you knew in high school or college who thought she was the hottest thing in the world and that everyone loved her, even though they don't and also the girl who doesn't have her own personality she just borrows the one of whoever she is hanging out with at the moment.

shanrick's thoughts on ep 3

FINALLY I can write about Dick being gone!!!

When the live feeds came up after the first show, Dick was already missing and no one knew where he was. He had been gone for about 5 hours, everyone was getting worried, did something happen to him or was this part of the game? Was he on a special trip or did he quit the show. At about hour 6 Dani started to get worried that something had happened to someone in their family but the other HG told her if something happened with her family they would tell her too. They cut the feed while they told the house Dick was gone and everyone's freaking out afterward. I guess Brendan and Rachel were talking about quitting, but they decided against it.

I'm bummed I never got to even see Dick on the live feeds once, I was really looking forward to a summer of him terrorizing the HG.

Here is a link to Dick telling why he left the show, he rambles on for over 9 minutes.

Now on to the show.

Keith is a loser, who should go home. Who throws the veto comp when you are on the block!

Jeff and Jordan are so cute. I was laughing at how silly they were in the comp. When Jordan said it was pretty bad that they were being beaten by the team that was throwing the comp.

Big Brother 13 - Episode 3

An interesting show and a very long recap to catch everyone up.  I wonder what the ratings are like this season.  Same, more, less?

THE MYSTERY

Things got off to a rocky start when Porshe started crying about being put on the block.  The Veterans couldn't believe how she was acting but hello, you sign up to win 500,000 and then you are just supposed to believe the veterans.  I'd be acting the same way as her.  I actually felt bad for her even though I know Dick had asked her to be on their side.

And then Dick disappeared.  I wonder why the show isn't saying what happened.  I feel like they could give a little bit of information. Weird.  Felt bad for Daniele.

Again the veterans annoyed me when they freaked out that they were going to lose the game now (in week one).  I liked how Jeff got them back on track.  I'd like to see Jeff win the entire show this time.

Last time I was all about the regulators, but no...um Keith, you might be Big Brother's absolute worst player ever.  Stop talking to yourself giving out all your plans (this is NOT Days of our Lives).  Calling his own team out in front of his own team (the newbies) was so crazy and stupid, but Dominic made it worse by saying "I have your back Keith" in front of Porshe.  DUMB!

I'm also concerned about Brendan's mental state as he was going to go beat up Keith for smiling about Dick leaving.  Although I do agree that Keith is both heartless and a horrible player, I didnt' think it was another opportunity for Brendan to go crazy cakes like last year.

THE POWER OF VETO

A fun superhero competition.  Why did the cameras purposely show only Jeff and Brendans waists rather than their whole bodies in their superman outfits.  And yet they freely showed  Keiths...Me thinks Someone is NOT packin' like others.  In this case the stereotypes are way wrong! lol.

As always Brendan and Rachel won.  Annoyingly funny how Keith thinks he is so awesome and Porshe thinks she is so awesome.  Worst. Team. Ever!  Even more annoyingly funny how they were acting in the diary room together.

and that brings us to another message of : KEITH IS CRAZY.  I've already complained about his oversexed behavior while being a man of the cloth but I hadn't realized just how awful of a player he is until now.  I really hope he goes home.

NOMINEE CHANGES?

It was smart of Rachel to feel out how the other houseguests felt and consider changing the nominations. She used to do it last year as well.  I liked how honest Cassie was but I worried it would hurt her with such emotional players Brendan and Rachel.

But in the end...they kept things the same.  Probably a good idea.  Let's send Keith home even though that gives power to the veterans, I'm not sure the newbies have enough in them to play a solid game.

Big Brother 13 - Episode 2

Episode 2 really got things going.  I always love when tons of people are in the house and have a hard time watching BB when there are only a few people in the house because it's usually boring.

PART ONE - Strategies and Alliances

This was a fun beginning.  I love how Dominic got the ball rolling by getting Keith, Lawon and Cassie on board for the REGULATORS alliance.  very smart idea.

Sorry, Adam, but what I thought was funny on episode one is annoying on episode two.  Shannon says that the live feeds has Lawon acting normal.  I wouldn't say he is acting normal on the show but I will say he is dressing better (minus the hot tamale mardi gras necklace).  Also, I remember Jordan being kind of spacy but not so in your face dumb.  Loving Danielle but wishing Rachel and Brendan would go home right now...I know, I know that's impossible.

Poor Porshe.  How do you align with the All Starstars, Tell your partner who is in a private alliance and survive.  GOOD LUCK!  Porshe, you just made the show interesting, and I'm sorry but I'm rooting for THE REGULATORS!

Part 2 - COWABUNGA COMPETITION

Cute idea and costumes.  KEITH SCARES ME!  Why is every move he makes a sexual one.  There was nothing NOT sexual in how he was milking those poor people.  Shelly is funny but like I said last time, not a very competive player.

Part 3 - HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD

No matter who Rachel nominates, it could go the way I want it to:

Scenario 1 - Keith and Porshe (the all stars will pick Porche and the regulators will pick Keith).  This could be interesting and change the game again.  I'm fine with either going home or either staying.

Scenario 2 - Adam and Dominic (the all stars will pick Adam and the regulators will pick Dominic).  This is not good as I love Dominic, however if the regulators and their teammates save Dominic then all is well and Adam will go home.

and now....the result!

KEITH AND PORSHE.  GAME ON!!!

I'd love the Regulators to send Porshe home just for the fun of the game.  I'm all for the underdogs and I'd like to see All Stars drop off, mainly because they are so cocky.  However, I'd be willing to keep Jeff, Jordan, and Danielle a little longer.  Dick is always entertaining.  Brendan and Rachel! NO!

Someone unexpectedly leaves the game....crap.  Until Wednesday...

shanrick's live blogging of ep 2

I thought it might be fun to live blog my thoughts while watching tonights episode, I hope you enjoy!

Damn I had forgot how much Rachel yells in the DR.

I'm super tired of Adam's metal voice.

Golden Key- does make for the ultimate floater.

Dick and Dani have the weirdest relationship. I really just don't get it, how can you not want to talk to someone in real life but have no problem being stuck in the house together.

What is wrong with Keith, Porsche totally has the right idea, I would climb into bed with the vets so fast.

Jeff and Jordan are so cute, even when she is farting!

While I like Rachel I hate fake TV show Rachel, she isn't take fake all the time, you only hear that laugh on show day.

Dick is running the show, and being a dick about it, things never change.

lol Rachel's talking about how Brendan never complains about her fake boobs!

Shut up Regulators, Brigade 2.0 more like it. You know Keith is bummed it isn't Keith's Angels!

Holy Jeez Dick looks awful, he looks way older than last time, I guess that is what hard partying does to you.

If anyone is dumb Keith you are, going along with the vets til top 10 would be a good idea. Those guys are all good competitors and know what they are doing in this game.

Have Not Comp
"Space Milk Mountain" hilarious!

Why is Lawon waisting time wring out hair, the costume has more milk in it, the entire orange team is clueless.

OMG I was dying watching Keith hump the milk out of his cows! Adam's DR about it also killed me!

Have Not Room is crazy and perfect for all the nuts that will be sleeping in it this summer! I would so not want to sleep in that super bright room, that would make me nuts.

You would think that Dick was HOH the way he is holding court in the HOH room, he is totally leading this group. He is very full of himself, I don't remember that from his season, or maybe I just forgot that.

Nomination:
Wow I don't think I have ever heard Rachel that calm during a ceremony.
Rachel maybe you should have mixed up the newbies and vets when you pulled out the keys.
Keith and Porsche are nominated, I wonder what will happen this week, will the Regulators regulate?

Live Feeds Update 3

YUMMY!!

Live Feeds Update 2

Good Morning HG!





so far I'm super shocked that I don't hate Lawon, he has seemed pretty normal so far.

Keith is just as irritating as I thought he would be.

Adam is a bear!

Late night web surfing finds interesting video

Ha, Evil Dick doesn't look so evil in this video, he looks like an old man.

http://player.vimeo.com/video/26109117

I'm so ready for some ED craziness on the live feeds this summer, should be fun!

Live Feeds Update 1

Ooooh they just started and there is already mystery/possible MAJOR drama!

Some funny things:
Apperntly they have already been in the house about a week.
Brendan is already back into his kitchen cleaning mode.
Everyone is just chatting and chilling.
I still heart Jeff!

First show thougth's by Shanrick

And the summer has officially begun!

Dynamic Duos you have thrown some new and interesting twist into the game!

Keith: you need to stop trying to be a ladies man it is skeevy, especially after you talk about being a youth minster.
Porsche: I thought you didn’t like bitchy girls, maybe you didn’t realize you this but you are a bitchy girl. And no one would think a VIP waitress was a glamorous life.
These 2 are super weird team.

Kalia: you are as irritating as I thought you were going to be, “I’m the real life Carrie Bradshaw” lame.
Lawon: dude wearing a colorful blazer and a different bright colored shirt isn’t fashion.
I loved Kailia’s reaction to being left with him as a partner.

Adam: I already want to kill you with your super annoying “METAL” grunting. And no 39 year old should say they love 90210 or talk about Tori Spelling
Dominic: You seem sweet you better get a bolder personality STAT
Another team not really happy with being a team.

Shelly: I’m liking you, you seem like a real person
Cassi: I’m also liking you.
Could be a good team.

Returning Dynamic Duos

These are exactly who I thought was coming back!

Rachel and Brendan: I enjoyed you the first time around but damn I had forgot how irritating Rachel’s stupid fake laugh was! Seriously those two are engaged!

Jeff and Jordan: I love these two, they are so sweet and Jeff is HOT!

Evil Dick and Danielle: ED should bring the drama, I can see him and Rachel going at it. Aaah is Dani mute this season? I don’t think she talked once, maybe that means she won’t whine this season.

HoH comp

Are you kidding me newbies! You have no game that was super lame; you should have all fought like hell to win so that you could take out past players. Rachel you are still a good competitor.

Last twist: I’m not sure how I feel about this golden key thing; I agree with Rachel that it makes for the ultimate floater.

Time to watch the live feeds!

Big Brother 13 - Episode 1

And We're Off....

NEW DUOS

Lawon - Stop saying he has good fashion sense!  He has NO FASHION SENSE!  annoying.
Kahlia - 27?  More like 37!  Carrie Bradshaw...I think not.  I do feel sorry for her partnership though!

Shelly - I really like Shelly, but I do think she is throwing in the towel a little too soon.  I have a feeling that  competitions won't be her strength...she will probably be around for a bit though, lying low.
Cassie - Same as Shelly.  She seems real and will probably lie low and stay in the game.  Not really understanding the "mama" term though.

Keith - I'm CONCERNED that the ordained minister is a womanizer. CONCERNED.
Porshe - She seemed nicer in her interview but I think she will end up being a good player.

Dominic - LOVE HIM!!!!  I can go on and on...he cracked me up when he talked about Adam's bald head in his ass.
Adam - I normally would be annoyed by Adam, but I actually find him real and entertaining.

OLD DUOS

Rachel and Brendan - NOOOOO! annoying.

Jeff and Jordan - I like Jeff and Jordan but Jeff is mean to Jordan

Dick and Danielle - Funny that they still don't talk.  This should be interesting.

Is it fair that Dick and Jordan can still play when they have already won the game?

It will be interesting how the twists and turns play out in the game.  My theory is that after the top ten are announced they will all play individually again.

Until Sunday....

Shanrick's thoughts on the new cast

Keith: I also thought he was going to be normal, but man the more he kept talking about getting some honey and his showmance the more I kept thinking "whoa you are so putting on a baller facade"
Favorite past player: Jen. That answer maybe me lose respect for him and I didn't have much to begin with. She had no game.

Lawon: Shut up that dude is straight up crazy! I know what he had to leave behind to come to the BB house, his meds!
Favorite past player: Will. Good answer, at least he isn’t' totally crazy.

Porsche: She seemed normal and maybe boring.
Favorite past player: Danielle. I will give her points for pick someone that I sometimes enjoyed that most people wouldn't pick.

Shelly: I didn't think I would like her but she kept making me laugh. I hope she is as funny on the show.
Favorite past player: Jeff and Jordan. I liked her explanation of why she liked those two.

Kalia: I do not like her. a. she said she left behind a dope family, lame. b. fear not to be liked, fail. She seems like she is trying to be mean/funny but she isn't pulling it off.
Favorite past player: Erica, yet again trying to be mean/funny just coming off mean.

Dominic: Seems normal but could also be boring. Totally agree with sharing a bathroom with 12 people being a fear!
Favorite past player: Enzo, seriously

Cassi: Boring, I think I fell asleep in the middle.
Favorite past player: Dan, her fav is just a boring as her.

Adam: "Heavy Metal Teddy Bear" VOMIT, that dude creeped me out!
Favorite past player: Janelle, totally agree but he made it creepy.

I can't wait to see who is going to be returning to the house!

Big Brother 13 - Meet the Cast

Have you watched the interviews of the new eight 
contestants yet.  It was pretty fun to see what they had to say.  Here is what I think about them after seeing the interviews.

Kalia Booker, 30
Hometown: Philadelphia, Pa.
Current City: Los Angeles, Calif.
Occupation: Writer

Kalia seems like she could either be really funny or really annoying.  She is in it just for the money and she seems to think she has a great game going as long as people think she is nice.  She could be around awhile or go home real quick.  We will have to see.  She will probably be friends with Adam and Shelly.  Maybe Porshe or Cassie.  I have a feeling her and Lawon will either be best friends or worst enemies.

Porsche Briggs, 23
Hometown: Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Current City: Miami Beach, Fla.
Occupation: VIP Cocktail Waitress

I really liked her.  She's got the sexy blond thing going on but she seems like she will be quite a power player.  She has a good head on her shoulders and she seems nice.  Hopefully she won't be annoying.  I think she might have a showmance with Dominic, maybe Keith.

Dominic Briones, 25
Hometown: San Mateo, Calif.
Current City: San Mateo, Calif.
Occupation: College Student

LOVE Dominic.  Not only is he cute and funny but his eyes seem so familar.  Like he kind of looks like my family.  I hope I continue to enjoy watching him play.

Cassi Colvin, 26
Hometown: Allen, Texas
Current City: Nashville, Tenn.
Occupation: Model

Cassi will probably be really annoying and boring (especially if she stays long) but I like she is going to play a "real" game and not let girls get to her.  We will see if she sticks to her promises...

Lawon Exum, 39
Hometown: Urbana, Ill.
Current City: Inglewood, Calif.
Occupation: Legal File Clerk

This is definitely most annoying, ridiculous, and out of touch character on this season and possibly ever.  I highly doubt I will like him but he could be entertaining.  Who knows who he will become friends.  If he is as weird as his interview was, I don't think anyone will hang out with him...maybe the older people.

Keith Henderson, 32
Hometown: Bolingbrook, Ill.
Current City: Bolingbrook, Ill.
Occupation: Human Resources Mgr

This guy is crazy.  He started out really sweet and normal and then spent the next 2 minutes, talking about wanting a sweet honey on the side and how he already has his alliances and plans already planned out.  He is either is very smart and will lie low or he is going to be out before his plan even gets started!

Shelly Moore, 41
Hometown: Centerville, Ohio
Current City: Prairieville, La.
Occupation: Outdoors Industry Exec

I didn't think I was going to like Shelly, but actually she seems the most normal.  As long as she is not annoying, I'll probably enjoy her.

Adam Poch, 39
Hometown: East Brunswick, N.J.
Current City: Hoboken, N.J.
Occupation: Music Inventory Manager

Adam.  This guy seems as crazy as Lawon but somehow more tongue in cheek about it.  I probably won't like him, but he might not be that bad.

I'm excited to find out who the rest of the cast will be...not a long wait now...
