##### has said that he wants to put up Kail and Jen up with the intention of Kail going home. In case one of them wins POV, he would put up Mike. Of course, this is subject to change.

I love how ##### went to Nick and told him that if he was just playing Daniele, there would be hell to play. It was kinda sweet. I hope that Danielle and ##### can stay in the house a while and can repair their relationship.

...it made a SMALL impression on everyone else.

ED told Amber to stop f**ing up his game; he told her Kail thought they (ED and Amber) were in an alliance, when they are friends only. Amber cried with ED, then again with Dustin.

Kail tried to get ED to throw POV to her (ED had nominated Kail and Jen earlier today). No dice.

Mike actually spoke a complete paragraph.

I have been catching up on my Showtime after dark and was totally surprised the Mike actually showed some game and spoke more than one paragraph. Mike is smarter than I think he is portraying to Kail...he will wiggle his way into another alliance. IMHO.

The Zack streaking episode was really out of character for him and I wasn't surprised at the golf equipment...not surprised that he shaves everything either.

ED, Jessica, Danielle and Eric spent a great deal of time talking in the HOH, very friendly. Talked over events of the day, general conversation.

ED told Danielle he was surprised how she handled being nominated, didn't cry in the corner like some others. She was a little p!ssy and said 'that's 'cos you're never around me, you don't know how I react to things'. He smoothed things over by saying he was proud of her. (I realize she's young, but jeez, he was trying to be nice!)

I'm glad they stayed up, it's disappointing to suffer insomnia and only watch the hamsters sleep!

Lots of talk about who they want to go next, whether they trust Mike, Zach creeps them out. ED filling them in on his conversations throughout the day. Kail is a mess, wouldn't be horrible if she stayed because she no longer has an alliance. Dan and Jess would like ED to choose Jameka to host POV, since it's her birthday. Depends who is chosen to play, though.

Eric went to bed about 3:30am BB time. ED left HOH about 15 minutes later to have a smoke and go to bed. He apparently is sleeping in the round room this week, having given his room to Jess and Dan. Kail and Mike hate it that he is sleeping in the same room as them.

Jess and Dan have turned out the lights but are still chatting a little. Looks like all the little hamsters are going to sleep now.

Spoke too soon! ED upt in a load of laundry and is in the BY. (Guy is amazing, never sleeps, does laundry and dishes after everyone goes to sleep. Plus, he talks to us late at night!)

Hey, thanks to all the live feeders. You always do such an amazing job, year after year, show after show. Just have a question, does anyone know who America's choice is to have elimiated? Haven't seen it posted anywhere and was hoping it was Kail. Sorry if anyone likes her but she came out guns blazing a little too quickly for my taste. That being said, I have to say I love ED! He certainly makes for good TV.

Again, this lurker thanks you all....

BB woke the hamsters and announced (about half hour ago) that POV ceremony would be in 2 hours. Most the hamsters are taking a nap. Two feeds are showing Nick and Danielle in HOH talking, one feed shows a mute Kail lying on one of the round beds. Feed four is some guy in a grey hooded sweatshirt asleep on a bed -- must be one of the production guys, 'cos I've never seen him before.

Nick and Dan talking some game, but Nick wants to talk non-game, too. Nick and Dustin are supposed to go into DR to spoof the 'handshake' deal. N really pushing D to talk about personal stuff. He's flirting with her hard-core.

The POV ceremony has been conducted. Kail does not look happy. So far, I overheard that Jessica is playing. Read on another board that Nick and Zach were also chosen. Sounds as though Eric will host. He thinks it may be a long competition because they told him to wear something comfortable. No word yet on when the competition will be held.

If AmERICa's Hamster is doing hosting duty for the POV Contest, does that mean that Jameka's actually playing in the POV, because I thought the plan was to have her host since it was her birthday?

That is what they discussed last night. I've only heard confirmation that Jessica is playing. I haven't seen Jameka since the partners were chosen. Perhaps she's in the DR?

Welcome back, you.

Thanks, good to be back. Those rascally little hamsters have sucked me in again.

As they prepare for the veto competition, Kail is working overtime to perfect her inner-Maggot-ness. Sits at a bar stool for what seems like hours, everyone in the house walking past and talking and laughing, and she just sits and stares into space. Aaaaaargh! I cannot deal with another season of this!

Jen seems to be the only person to elicit more than a few syllables out of the she-wolf, and even that is short-lived.

Actually, she's more overt than she-who-should-not-be-named, since SWSNBN used mind tricks to get the minions to do her bidding. She-wolf is all about how it benefits her, and it is totally backfiring on her.

Wait a minute, Kael is talking with someone in the bathroom. It's a guy, and he's using words, but I'm not sure who it is. Must be one of the production guys. I think his name is Mute.

Dayum, ED is stirring the pot just prior to the start of the POV competition. Calling out Kael for lying, lie-ing, not telling the truth about no longer being in an alliance with Mike. Then he tells Jen that Kael tried to throw her under the bus by trying to convince ED to get the votes changed to save herself (Kael) and send Jen home. Kael denies this, ED says Jen knows he doesn't lie and Kael does, Kael just needs to know she's going home. ED walks out of the kitchen and Amber starts ragging on Kael.

This will either psyche her out to perform in POV comp, or make her try harder. Yikes!

OMG, Eric is wearing a shirt and tie to host the comp. He wants to look like a real game show host. Bwahahahhaa!

POV comp is beginning. Skippy hasn't gone to water yet. Eric is wildly dressed as the Mad Hatter. The participants are choosing numbers from a bag to determine their order.

And....we have water. 2:08 pm EST. Let's see how long this one lasts.

The blue swirlie that appeared on Thursday's show?

Ha! I like 'blue swirlie'. Better than VOW - vortex of water.

Now it's trivia. Worse, OLD trivia. Trivia they gave us last year. I miss the fishies.

They're back from POV comp. Waiting to see who may have won.

Amber is now backtracking on what she told Kael earlier, that she didn't really mean it, kinda like she was caught up in the moment.

OK, Jameka isn't wearing it. Jen doesn't have it on.

Jameka and Dustin are whispering in the little bed room. Can't make out what they are saying.

Haven't seen Zach or Nick yet.

(ha! also a good time to update the header! )

It's hard to hear in the kitchen because everyone is talking at once, but I *think* ED said Nick has the POV.

They are now talking about voting out Mike, he's the strong one and Kael is a mess and will continue to be a mess.

eta: posted prematurely. It is reported on other boards (there are other boards?) that Jen won POV, will use it, thus Mike as replacement and everyone seems aligned with voting out Mike.

Also reported that Kael was so rattled she was out of the comp in about 2 seconds.

Kael and Amber still yammering. Kael telling Amber everything ED has said about her.

If Nick has the POV, who do they think he's gonna take off, Jen or Kail?

I thought Nick was supposedly starting to be in ED/Danielle's back pocket due to the budding relationship?

Kael now rehashing her confrontation with ED to Dustin. For someone who barely spoke for the first three weeks, she will NOT SHUT UP. She twisting what ED said just enough to make her appear the victim and the attack unwarranted. Amber ate it up with a spoon (I'm surprised there were no waterworks), and whether Dustin is agreeing with her to placate her or means it, I cannot tell. I hate it when they whisper. It's 'so hard' for her to repeat what ED said to her, but since he twisted her words, she has no choice but to go to every person and verify whether they want her out of the house. (They do, dear, they really do.)

And, btw (Dustin, I'm talking to you!), since when does anyone worry about an HONEST person in the BB house? Have you ever watched this game before? Does the name Dr. Will mean anything to you? Jeez!!!

LAST EDITED ON 07-21-07 AT 04:40 PM (EST)

Well, I absolutely do not know how to read Amber. She talks smack about ED when she's with Amber. She talks smack about Kael when she's with ED. Then Kael comes into the room and Amber backtracks on her smack talk.

Is it a case of 'who talks with her last'? I really can't figure her out. Anyone has any insight?

edited to add:
Now Kael now talking to Jameka about her talk with ED, stopping whenever ED walks through the room. Same story as before. Specifically says that ED told her Jameka and Jessica want her gone. Jameka tells her to just be who she is. Kael says she's a 'quiet' person. Jameka telling Kael, 'out of the top two people, you are not...', and we get water.

For a quiet person, Kael is expending a lot of energy going around to everyone in the house with the story of her confrontation with ED (even though a lot of the house witnessed it).

Kael keeps quoting ED as having made a 'bargain' with every person in the house. Those are HER words, not ED's. Mike joins the kitchen, and Kael takes a break from her story. Kael hopes ED doesn't put up Mike, Jameka says nobody knows what's going to happen. (She and ED had a conversation about Kael/Mike earlier.)

LAST EDITED ON 07-23-07 AT 03:26 AM (EST)

This all started because ED saw Nick, Zack and Jen in HOH room. ED was upset. Nick had been listening to music when he was interupted by Zack, then Jen, but ED didn't know that.

Round 1 - ED vs. Amber

ED and Amber doing dishes ... ED "i am f'ing furious right now!" as he bangs the silverware...

Amber says "wha?"
ED "it takes alot of balls to talk game in my room"... more banging and clattering...Jen comes up behind them and is standing there with the fridge open....
ED says something inaudible
Amber "i know"
ED "no you don't. Thats it... no one is allowed in my room period without me in it... f'ing conspiring"
Amber "i don't"
ED "i know. What the f*** was she doing in there anyway?"
... then ED goes out... to have smoke
then he and Nick erupt... hope someone is getting this... wayyyyyyyy too much.... but Nick is doing AWESOME!

Round 2 - D!ck vs. Nick

ED says he is furious at the situation. Nick and ED are now shouting at each other. ED says he doesn't entirely trust Nick. Nick shouts that he just wanted to get away from everybody, and they followed him up. Nick tells ED that he told Zach to f*** off when he followed him outside. He insists that there were 15 minutes of silence up there (true), and ED can ask production for the tape. Nick is furious and shouting at ED now, because he is sick of being followed and sick of the game, and sick of the situation.
ED says he's not going 2 talk about this in front of Kail.
Nick says angrily that it was 15 mins of silence and he told them 2 leave. He says he can ask production 4 a tape 2 prove it. Nick tells himthat if he doesn't believe him, fuk it! I like your daughter and I;m not messing with her. I'm gonna start being a bad MF'r! He is really going off on ED. He says he will tell anyone eveuthing he's doing, he doesn't give a fuk about the money, if u wanna put me up, do it! ##### kinda backs down. Nick says he likes Dani and its messing with his head. This is the most animated I've ever seen him. He stood up to ED like a man.

Round 3 - D!ck vs. Danielle

Dani says he is talking down to everyone in the house. ED calls Amber a basketcase. Dani says to leave Amber alone. Dani says she's getting the brunt of what ED is doing.

ED says Dani is going around telling people her dad will evict them. Dani said she never said such a thing and he can believe a bunch of strangers if he wants. ED says she was joking but she said it. Dani said she didn't.

Dani says everyone is getting so mad at him and he's on a power trip. She says it's not fair. ED says it's not fair that he has to deal with Dani's relationship with Nick. Dani says it's her game to play. Dani says she doesn't go out of her way to make a scene, she gets along with everyone. ED says he gets along with everyone great. She says OK. He asks her when she became so smug.

ED asks why she didn't tell him Nick was in an alliance. She said Nick would tell ED when he wanted to. ... ED asks why she is being like that. Dani says because ED made Amber cry.

----

Before all the yelling, at Jameka's birthday party.

Looks like the Rule of Evil is ending with the HOH being a bit worse off than when he started.

And this is my personal opinion, but I think Nick and Zack may be in an alliance, one that is keeping the house in turmoil and I think Dustin is in on it, too. Or maybe it's Nick and Dustin, with Zack as the third wheel. I'm not sure but I wanted to throw that out there. I still have to do some research on it.

Sounds like ED is turning out to be every bit as paranoid as he accused Kail of being, and not willing to listen to anyone's explanations.
