Big Brother 17 Live Feeds - Day 1 - Day 9 for the HGs

So the season has begun with waaaaay too much scheming and a ridiculous number of alliances.  Too many to even keep up with at this point.  There are a few obvious troublemakers among the group and a few that are just downright annoying (cough, cough, Jason, cough, Meg). 

Let's go over all of the important stuff before we get to any gossip.  
Here are where things stand game-wise at the moment:

HOHs and Nominees 
Team 1 :  HOH - James  Nominees - Steve and Jackie
Team 2 :  HOH - Jason   Nominees - Becky and John

Have Nots: Austin, Da'Von, Liz, Vanessa

Battle of the Block - winner:  Johnny Mac

Standing HOH - James  Nominees - Steve and Jackie

POV players - James, Steve, Jackie, Jason, Becky, and Johnny Mac

POV Winner - Steve

We can only assume that young, awkward Steve will choose to remove himself from the block.  James will have to choose a replacement nominee, but who?, is the biggest question.  There has been talk from all sides on who should be up on the block.  Hell, they don't even have this week's replacement nominee and some people, like Austin, are already planning who needs to go next week!!  Game on, right?  
Yeah...day nine in the house for our #BB17 houseguests and they're already up to their eyeballs in lies and secret alliances.  Da'Von, James, Jason and Audrey are calling themselves the High Rollers...I guess they think nobody knows, but heads up HGs, I heard Austin telling Liz, among others, that he feels pretty sure "Audrey, James, and maybe Jason" are with Da'Von.  So if Austin thinks this, Jace does as well since the two seem to be taking turns crawling up the other's butt! I mean these two are practically inseparable!  Can we say bro-mance anyone?

Now for some interesting random tidbits:

Clay told Jace and Austin (part of his alliance) that he trusts Shelli (aka the self-proclaimed Puma currently hunting Clay) 100%.  Say what?  It's day nine!  Nobody should trust ANYONE 100% by day nine!  They haven't even eliminated the first HG?!?!  What the hell??
When talking about Liz, Austin said "Audrey's a fucking mastermind!" when talking about how she went around the house asking questions concerning who first threw her, or his, or whatever's name out there as a potential renom.  Not sure I'd call it a mastermind move, but Austin seems quite impressed.
Austin, Jace and Clay believe they have 8 or 9 people willing to put Da'Von out next week.    
Austin would like to see either Jason or Jeff up as this week's re-mon, but is worried that Jace or Clay may be in jeopardy.
At one point Austin said to Liz, "Jeff's cool but he may have to bite the bullet for us".  Which is extra amusing since I also heard Jeff say to Jason and Da'Von "I think Austin's a pretty big threat..."
Somewhere not long after that, I must have missed something, because all of a sudden I hear Jason (annoying Boston boy that can't stop calling everyone bitches, for those of you still learning who is who), say " If Austin tries to pull me into a closet and rape me you better protect me"...and them repeated it into his mic and said they's better send security if that happens...WTF?  Where did that come from??   
There has been a lot more talk about a lot of BS not really worth repeating or taking the time to quote...but this is just the beginning and sometimes they take a while for the really interesting stuff to start coming out.  Big Brother After Dark (#BBAD) is set to come on in just under an hour...we'll update if anything drastic happens between now and then, but I think I'll skip listening to Johnny Mac's dental school tales for now...

Are BB16 Caleb Reynolds and Frankie Grande Going Too Far? Big Brother 16

I would say that Frankie Grande goes too far, laying around on all of the guys, but I can't, because it seems that this year, Big Brother chose to play their biggest joke on the girls in the house.  How?  By placing an almost exclusive cast of gay or bi-sexual men.  Wait! Don't attack yet!

I did hear Frankie saying to Jocasta in the fire room one night that he was confused by the guys in the house and very openly talked about Zach's being "curious" and his confusions about Cody.  On a side note - my gay-dar went off on BOTH Zach and Cody within the first 24 hours...but anyway...not the point. While you don't hear it addressed within the house THAT often, the feeders (#BBLF) and Big Brother After Dark viewers (#BBAD) are definitely abuzz with talks of the many, many man-piles we find about the house this season. 

Now before you go all crazy on me telling me cuddling is supportive in the #BB16 house and that man on man cuddling is something enjoyed by gay and straight men alike, just stop.  I understand, a great number of men on facebook have repeatedly chastised our comments concerning what we consider unusual man on man activities MANY of the HGs are participating in...okay, we get it, you guys love cuddling.  Point heard and noted...but this video clip is MORE than the usual cuddling...and I challenge ANY of the readers, here or on facebook, to say a straight man would be okay with what we see here!  If this doesn't prove Caleb Reynolds to be bi-sexual I don't know what would.  NO STRAIGHT MAN would allow this! Simple as that, Caleb - straight men don't want gay men fiddling around with their dicks!  There I said it!  Bi-sexual men would be cool with it I'm sure, but an actual heterosexual man WOULD NOT!


Frankie playing with Calebs crotch by mikethelegend

While Frankie diddles around with Caleb's man parts, Caleb not only allows it, but seems to enjoy it immensely.  

Aside from his general rotten personality, Amber's gay-dar was likely going off the charts during her stay in the house too.  Remember, even on the Big Brother Live Feeds, we only get 2 to 3 rooms on at any given time, and believe me, the people IN the house are seeing much, MUCH more of this behavior than we will ever be privy to witnessing.

But now understanding that Caleb Reynolds is NOT a heterosexual man, it begins to make some sense in other areas of his personality and behaviors. For example, Caleb is as guilty as Devon ever was of talking down to the women.  (By the way, Devon - gay-dar flashing pink and purple baby -- all those tender moments between he and Caleb by the hot tub...oh yeah.)  I could never understand why Caleb acted the way he did about and to the girls, yet dares calls himself romantic based solely on the idea he was willing to screw his own game or put a candle on a table.  Seriously?  Here's a candlelight table for us, now sit there and look pretty and only speak when spoken to?  Yeah -- never sounded romantic to me either Amber.

The fact that Caleb hasn't "come out of the closet" yet could also account for some of his over-bearing, look-at-me, I'm a man's man, I hunt, I beat, I kill chest pounding that goes on.  Many men that haven't come out of the closet yet (and yes, I have known many MANY to draw this experience from), feel the need to show off just how manly they are.  I believe they think that by coming off as a tough guy they won't "look like" they're gay.  Now, the rest of us out here all know that this is based on a stereotypical view of gay men and the assumption that they all present themselves like Frankie, but this is not the case.  Therefore, this form of "straight man camouflage" doesn't REALLY work...but it seems to make some of them feel as if it does.

And his relentless pursuit of Amber?  Yes, another form of straight man camo.  Ask any woman that has dated and she'll have a story about a guy she dated, married, or slept with that later came out of the closet as gay or bi-sexual.  And the very term "bi-sexual" says they are equally attracted to both men AND women, so don't try to say that because he behaved irrationally about Amber that it means he is straight, because you don't have a leg to stand on.

Derrick Has Received Bad News - Death in Family - Will he stay in the Big Brother 16 House?

Big Brother 16 HG Derrick received word a little while ago that his grandfather passed away this morning.  

The news was given, again, in the form of a letter.  The house guests gathered to support him but the mood was much quieter than when Frankie received his bad news.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Derrick and his family during this time.  It seems that Derrick IS choosing to stay in the Big Brother house.

HOH and Battle of the Block Spoiler Big Brother 16 Thursday July 3

Thursday the #BB16 house went into overdrive.

Following the live show on CBS feeds came on pretty quickly...but not for the night.  We went to fish shortly after #BBAD went off and they didn't return until the wee hours of the morn.  In that time the house guests completed a nomination ceremony AND the Battle of the Block!  

Here is what we know:
The week 2 HOHs were Amber and Devin.  Devin won after Hayden fell at the last moment and poor Cody's arm was a few inches too short and his foot touched the ground before his finger hit the buzzer.  Very disappointing!!  Because Amber only cared about getting her photos, she really didn't give a rat's ass about getting HOH for the week.  This, of course, suited Devin just fine.  He was telling her what to do from the moment she won anyway.  I cannot believe how weak this girl is!!  You'd think she would like Caleb since he is trying to tell her they are in a relationship and she does love to follow whatever anyone else tells her to do anyway! 

Devin nominated Brittany and Paola.  Amber nominated Hayden and Nicole (just like Devin told her to).

Hayden and Nicole won the Battle of the Block, dethroning Amber and leaving Paola and Brittany as the HGs on the block.

Devin has a real issue with Brittany so we can assume she WILL be his target.  I fear we have an ugly UGLY week in store because how could it not be with that jerk Devin in the HOH?!?! 

Zach has really been working to keep his disgust at Victoria from boiling over.  He has these quiet little outbursts about her to HGs that it is safe to say it in front of.  I think he just might blow soon if the right situation presents itself.  I can just tell he has so many really entertaining and terribly mean things he wants to say to her....oh please Zach - SAY IT -- Say ALL of it!!!  

As of right now the HGs are all asleep from what I can tell.  Hopefully they will get up soon and we'll get to watch the monkeys dance!!

Friday - Big Brother After Dark, Overnight and Saturday Morning

The evening brought us a group meditation session led by Frankie.  For anyone just tuning in to BBAD, it was probably a "what the hell?" moment.  After he calmed them all down so much it took a little while for a few other them to really wake back up.

After that we have various conversations going on concerning the re-nom.  The consensus is that Joey will be put up in Donny's place.  Joey finally starts to try to do a little talking on her own behalf.  It really appears that the heinous act she committed was attempting to start an all girl alliance.  Seriously?  I'm guessing this is just something to be able to blame it on, since she wasn't the only one with that idea.

Somewhere around 10 pm (BBtime) Joey's upset stomach gets the better of her and she pukes her guts out right in front of Devin.  Poor guy!  Some of it went in the bowl she had, which she then spills onto the floor with the other vomit drops she blew about the room.  Not sure if she is sick or if her nerves are getting the better of her.

Zach seems to have calmed down some of that abrasive behavior.  Glad to see he has, it could have cost him the game.  Frankie has wooed the entire house it seems.  I'm starting to think those "meditations" are sessions he is using to hypnotize them.  It like a Frankie version of The Mist!  Absolutely amazing - this guy has the best social game, hands down.  He is hugging everyone.  Even Caleb acted jealous of being left out of the good night hug between Frankie and Devin.  (They had a group hug to include him - awwwww.....gag!)

Right now nobody seems too volatile.  I don't see anyone with a real fighter personality.  NO Willie's in this crew for sure.  Caleb keeps this really intense look most of the time.  Check out his body language.  He doesn't look happy.  I don't know if it is the stress of having to make the re-nom or if it is his pining away for Amber, who barely acknowledges him.  His constant longing for Amber is a little sickening to tell the truth.  If he doesn't get his shit together she could cost him the game.  NOT what I was expecting from Mr. Manly-Man.  

Around 10:30 or so they finally released these caged animals into the yard.  Like a bunch of birds they flew out flapping and squawking.  One observation I've made is that Cody is much quieter than I would have expected.  He is almost as quiet as Nicole.  Not sure if it will stay that way, but right now he may be trying to lay low a little.

Everyone is noticing how overcome with thoughts of Amber Caleb has become.  He has gone on about her to anyone that will sit still long enough.  Personally, I'm starting to switch screens once I see him get started.  I find it too pathetic to follow - sorry.

Frankie leads a group dance class with some of the girls.  He really is a good dancer and teacher.

Some of the guys are together talking.  The topic of fighting comes up and Caleb reveals that he and his friends never back down from fights and always win.  In fact he says that his buddies are the type to swing a baseball bat right in someone's face. Hayden says he'd rather leave a place than get into a fight.  He is a calm guy and this goes right along with the other behavior we see from him...likeable and not a trouble maker.  Zach brings up the ugly fight he was in that cost him his senior year at school.  A lot of damages and medical bills.  As soon as litigation and punitive damages get brought up the BB production puts a stop to the conversation.

The conversations are mostly about general stuff.  Caleb shows off his one-handed cartwheel.  They're all just playing around and enjoying be out of the confines of the house.

Then Zach tried to talk to America.  I LOVE it when we get a player that addresses the audience!  He tells us that the Bomb Squad is a joke.  He then names the eight people in the alliance and laughs about having an alliance of that size.  He appears to have full faith and trust in his and Frankie's alliance of two.  I hope this isn't a mistake.  Before he can get too much out though, Frankie sees the camera look at Zach and decides to come see why.  Of course this cuts things short and the masses seem to follow Frankie, turning their party of two into three, then four and so on.

I'm pretty sure that all of the guys except Derrick and Donny have pretty serious man-cruches on Frankie.  What the hell is this guy doing?  lol  At one point Frankie gives Devin a ride on his back as he crawls on all fours.  Halfway across the yard they switch places and Frankie rides Devin.  This is just getting weird!  rofl

Zach mentions he'd like to make a move on Nicole.  Frankie says he should wait until he has the HOH room.  At some point Frankie asks Zach if he is Hispanic ... Zach replies with laughter and says "No, I'm Jewish!"  lol  Zach also mentions to Frankie that he is having to hold in a lot in the house. Frankie agrees and says he never expected to have to play this hard this fast.  Victoria joins them, breaking up any serious game talk.  

The conversation turns to general stuff...friends, relationships and the like.  Frankie reveals that he has had three "traumatic" breakups...the kind that involved "screaming, flailing, emotional" breakups.  Victoria mentions something about a showmance with Frankie and Zach says he is already in a showmance with him.  These two remind me of a combination of the Matt & Reagan relationship and the Dr. Will & Boogie bro-mance.  I tried to switch cameras to Caleb, but he was STILL blabbing on about Amber!  

More general relationship talk from Victoria and about her expectations for a man, married life and motherhood.  Hayden and Frankie discuss their first impressions of the twists, entering the house and the like.  Devin and Frankie have an extended scene where they use pretty bad British accents.  They are all just having fun and enjoying being outside.  

Several of them stayed up throughout the night.  Then there was a shift change so to speak.  Our late nighters finally decided to rest and some of those that slept got up earlier than the others in the morning.

The morning has been slow.  A lot of primping in front of mirrors and prepping for pool time.  Nothing notable going on concerning game talk.  Since they're just relaxing for now I will too and I'll be back with more soon.  If you're looking to see them while they're all still enjoying one another, you might want to watch now.  Once someone actually gets voted out the feeling might change some. 

First Hours of the BB16 Live Feeds Recap

It finally happened!  Our feeds kicked in and we were greeted by the house guests with a lot of cheering and waving, ad, oh yeah , a little nakedness.  Joey and Hayden were streaking through the house just as Big Brother After Dark came on.  Really?  That is your big hello to America?  This is gonna be a rowdy crew!  Not too far in, Frankie runs over and jumps atop Zach.  When Frankie gets up, I see that Zach had a pillow between them...and that he made sure not to move it either.  Hmmm.... :-o Just sayin'!

But I'll have to recap this as a whole because so much information comes out in these first few hours.  I'll do my best to give you the important, or at least more interesting, points.

All nominations and the Battle of the Block have already been done.  The reigning HOH is Caleb.  Paola and Donny are on the block.  There will be a POV competition Friday, and from what we can tell, we believe the players will be: Caleb, Paola, Donny, Cody, Zach, and Victoria.

Frankie and Zach get together and talk.  They have a final 2 alliance between them, but it in some way involves each having another alliance that they will use in conjunction somehow.  A LOT of planning and strategizing before the first person even goes if you ask me.  

So far, everyone seems to really like Frankie and Hayden.  Devin is being seen as crazy, volatile and a possible ticking time bomb.  I still can't figure out what it is he's done to be given this title, but he doesn't seem like there is anything wrong at this point.

Caleb spent a long, long, looooong time rambling on about his feelings for Amber to, well, anyone he could get to listen.  This guy has got it bad.  But he goes on about how to best approach her, how to let her know, and I think he practically has them married already in his head.  

While Caleb is sitting and daydreaming out loud about Amber, she is in the other room getting a head rub and then shoulder rub by Hayden.  He then moves on to a rubdown on Nicole.  This guy has his hands on all the girls.

There was a little whispering between Derrick and Victoria over a game of chess, but I don't think it was anything too serious.  

There is just a lot of talk going on, and most of it is just about regular stuff.  Feel free to comment below to add anything interesting you saw and want to mention.  See you back later with some updates on what is going on in there on their POV Friday.

Big Brother (BB16) Premiere Night Two - Thursday Recap

Here is your Big Brother Big Mouth Breakdown on the #BB16 Premiere - Night Two

We were so ready to get the other group of eight into the house to get this thing started and in full gear.  We know most of you have watched this so we'll give an abbreviated recap of this network show since the live feeds (#BBLF) will be on soon and require our full attention.  

The show started off with the usual meet-the-new house guests.  Only a couple of real stand out moments in that portion.  We see Victoria's arrogance with her multiple statements about how wonderful and beautiful she thinks she is.  Caleb fancies himself a "metrosexual cowboy".  Christine says she knows she cannot win without getting blood on her hands at some point and is prepared to do that when the time comes.  Jocasta, well, we can just sum that up with the word overzealous.  Zach came in blazing with some statements like " I don't need friends because all I care about is myself." When answering what kind of people annoy him, he answered with, and I paraphrase, people that talk, eat, sleep, and breath.  While I literally LOL at this, I know it may be his downfall.  It worked when Dr. Will did it, but Jeremy suffered a much different fate, so only time will tell.  Hayden even calls himself goofy, so we pretty much know what to expect there.  He claims to have been a good student, so maybe he is hiding a big brain under all that hair, we'll see.

The second group enters with all of the usual screaming and craziness.  Christine is a super fan, so she is in awe just entering the house.  Caleb locks his sights on Amber early on.  Every time the door opens Frankie prances over to meet and greet.  Some DR comments reveal Zach stating he doesn't "give a damn about meeting these people", Nicole is already worried about alliances being challenged, and Donny is just worried he can't remember who all these people are.  After everyone had settled in a bit, the big group introductions take place.  Derrick is hiding his job as a police officer, but drawing on his undercover skills to pull off selling himself as a Parks & Rec Coordinator.  So far, nobody seems to doubt him. Cody reveals he is eying Britney's body, but I'm not sure if she has noticed yet.

Then they get to talking more.  Frankie is the first we see to head off in a direction of a side alliance with someone from the new group.  He and Victoria have hit it off and Frankie wants them to work together.  Paola starts to feel out the Caleb situation, feeling that because he is "the other" big personality in the house, he may want to target her.  Say what?  Really?  I don't think Caleb is feeling threatened by anyone right now, least of all her.

Donny uses his rather unusual talent of mimicking cricket sounds to "distract" the other HGs.  He says he'd rather them view him as a funny guy rather than a guy that is good at the game.  It is a little odd, but his housemates seem quite impressed and intrigued by this.  I have to admit, I am a little too.

Zach strikes again when talking with Frankie in the bathroom.  He calls him out by mentioning he is familiar with Pine Crest, the school Frankie had attended.  He points out that the school has a reputation (for snobby, privileged, rich kids).  Frankie looked less than amused by this and in DR says that Zach should watch himself pissing off the HOH like that.  

We finally get to the HOH competition.  It was called "Over the Coals".  The HGs wrapped around a big BBQ spit and hung on for dear life...well, some of them did.  Derrick went with a bear hug method instead of using the handles they could use.  Worked well for a while.  Joey sat back oogling at Caleb's butt.  Victoria was the first to drop.  At this point Frankie still seems to think he will be working with whoever wins this HOH and was disappointed that Victoria dropped so fast.   BB production decides to make things get a little slick by squirting the rest of them with a good dose of BBQ sauce.  Britney didn't hang on long after that, and Jocasta went shortly after her.  Following that, Christine looses her grip and hits the ground.  Zach, deciding that he wants to lay low, lets go and drops by choice.  Derrick was thinking along the same lines and told us in DR that he'd stayed on long enough to show he was strong, but not so long to seem threatening, and he too chose to drop.  This leaves only Hayden and Caleb hanging on.  The spit stops with the guys hanging off the side.  Caleb takes this opportunity to show everyone just how NOT hard this task is for him by showing off in a feats of strength display.  Hayden, probably realizing Caleb had this in the bag, fell off.  Caleb is named the second HOH.  

Julie then explains the whole Battle of the Block thing.  To be honest, I'm a little unclear on this part myself, so I'm not going to go into too much detail with that.  In short, the four nominees will battle one another and one pair will get off the block and one HOH will be named.  

The Team America votes are in.  The first HG to be placed on the secret Team America alliance is Joey.  Each of the three people in this alliance will be given missions to complete.  If completed, they will get $5000.  The votes are open now for the second HG to join this alliance and that vote will be revealed on the live show next Thursday.  

As we look in on the house guests at the end of the show we see Frankie riding Caleb's back through the house.  All I can say is that gave new meaning to the whole "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy" thing.

That's it for the Night Two Big Brother Premiere Recap.  We'll get another blog up going over the first night of live feeds as soon as we can.  Boy this is gonna' be a loooong night!  See you soon!
