Welcome back to the live feeds of Big Brother. We're now in the 12th season, and maybe in the feeds we may get more antics of the saboteur than on the actual show... but who knows. Now, for those curious, I'm not getting the feeds this year. Something about being subjected to a year of DAWs with the name of Russell had something to do with it, I believe...

Of note is that we have an Orthodox Jew in the cage, who will honor the Sabbath, which means that if the POV is on Saturday (which it usually is...) then he might not play, even if he has to... However, please note this year's TV schedule difference: the POV show is now on Wednesday, not Tuesday... I wonder if this means that they may do the POVs on Sunday this year? Hmmmmm...

Anyways... Please keep all info of this week's live feeds stuff here until it hits the air or not...

...Brendan and Rachel

Discuss...ting

Jokers says Brendon and Rachel. I'm not sure if this is a confirmed sighting on their part or not.

whoops...total typo

(and I'm not doing this every time)

...no one has the veto yet. Extra players appear to be Andrew, Enzo, and Monet.

...Kathy and Annie appeared to be in an alliance, or at least a (currently) tight friendship. Or not, because Kathy then turns around and bashes Annie to Monet. Typical, really.

...Enzo's already annoyed people. Big surprise.

...Brendon, for no reason anyone can think of, is spending a lot of his time in yelling 'Technotronics!'

...there's a lot of Andrew bashing: some hamsters feel he's isolated himself. (Some non PG-13 references here on the physical side.) He may have also nearly exposed Annie to the camera in the gynecology sense (the topic of the night), is some people's favorite pick for saboteur (with a nickname of Captain Obvious)... Not doing well, is he? It sounds like just about the entire house would put him up next week.

...Rachel was apparently rude to Monet in some way, with the cage backlash going against Rachel. This may have triggered her nomination. (Rachel pulled Monet's name in POV: the reaction may not be censored for broadcast It was a facial expression. Which made Money cry.)

...Matt is claiming his spouse has a degenerative, incurable bone disease and he's on the show to get money for treatment because insurance won't cover it. Place your bets.

...Brendon and Rachel are showmancing to the degree where Rachel might save Brendon with the POV.

...just a feeling here, but it seems as if a lot of drama revolves around Monet without quite touching her.

...Matt, Enzo, Lane & Nathan are in an alliance, but there's some worries about Hayden being played by the females.

...it's going to get much worse than this.

Isn't 'technotronics' the word that Jeff spelled on the Scrabble type challege last year?

'Tis. And by a not-so-amazing coincidence, we had a near-identical format for Veto -- which is one of the better arguments for Brendon being the saboteur: he might have let advance knowledge of a competition slip. Repeatedly.

Kathy, Ragan, Matt, and Rachel.

And from the 'CBS can't spell' file, we introduce the word 'stabotage'.

Minor notes: Brendon is apparently regarded as someone who needs a lot of Shack time. Britney's a real rarity: a hamster who's gone beyond episodes and seen some of the feed coverage. (At a guess, she lied about this on her application. A lot.) Kathy's sick -- and that's on top of being pretty heavily bruised: we all saw her take falls last night, but she may have had additional competition injuries since.

Either the pantry is unlocked or we missed a reward comp: Lane was chowing down on pizza last night.

And Lane has called Monet by a new name: Chima. (The drama may be closer to touching her than first thought.)

Maybe that was part of the reward for being a 'have': a key to the padlock to the pantry...

A partial reprise of one from last year: sounds like it had to do with spelling words, with a touch of grease (from the grill?) added. Brendon -- who was suspiciously yelling 'Technotronics!' earlier -- won. And it sounds like Rachel broke the buzz-in button. (It does have to be replaced every eleven seasons.)

No final word on the replacement yet, although Monet seems to think it's going to be her. And Brendon is making 'I don't want to be here without you' noises to Rachel. The Shack is just so small...

Lane with a hand around Annie's throat.

Given the show's sensitivity to such actions plus Lane's assault-based court visit, I'm expecting a giant DR chewout at the low end of the scale. High is 'subtract one hamster'. After Justin, they don't take it as a joke.

'2 people were lifelong friends or have a previous BB alliance.'

(Some pictures on the photo wall may have been Xed out, but that was an earlier action that's not necessarily connected to the lie/reveal.)

LAST EDITED ON 07-10-10 AT 07:53 PM (EST)

Jokers live feeds: "Brendon and Rachel lots of lick smacking action under the covers in the Sunset room. Telling eachother that they're "super hot" "

And this:

"Annie/Lane are talking on the hammock and Lane says your man will hate me because he's sexual with her. - njdevil08

Annie: You're the typical guy I would want to have as a friend with benefits.
Lane: I'm not the relationship type. It's a win/win. "

LOL! I'm getting caught up tonight because I have to travel this week and will be really behind by a week from Sunday. At least I'll know who the players are. I'm glad there's this board for quick reference of what happened on the shows because I'll miss a couple of them this week.

These HGs already seem uninterested and bored, which does not bode well for those watching the feeds or even reading them. The overnight update consists of:

The Saboteur/BB announced that 2 people in the house "know each other or have a previous BB connection";

Hayden, Matt, Enzo and Lane named their alliance "The Brigade";

Andrew told others that 2 people were not in attendance at some pre-show thing and that they are suspected of being the "secret couple". Matt heard this and ran to Hayden, who confessed that he, Hayden, is one of the 2, Kristen being the other one;

Over at TVC, people caught some conversation between Hayden and Kristen that may contribute to the speculation that they ARE the secret couple;

Also, that Hayden may have been influenced by BB (no surprise) to NOT nominate Annie like he seems to want to do (which led to the discussion of Annie=SAB.

Ho-hum, not even any good game talk. And I haven't even seen Monet being in a conversation AT ALL, either at TVC or Jokers. So far, she's my favorite .

The hamsters are now forbidden from discussing saboteur moves & identity theories.

That is just ridiculous. How are they supposed to play the game? The Sabo can affect them.

Was BB afraid they would figure it out too quickly? Or is this one of those seasons where BB has decided already who they want for their F3 and they don't want thinking to get in the way of that plan?

Was BB afraid they would figure it out too quickly?

A combination of this and being afraid of having their big reveal getting shorted out before the 15th. By the same token, we should see no saboteur activity on-camera until that time.

Brendon took himself off, and Hayden replaced him with Annie -- who did not take it well. The echoes make it sound like she verbally attacked both Brendon and Britney immediately after the nomination (still during ceremony time). This is adding votes to Rachel's side: a few of the group are starting to notice that by comparison, she's taken her being on the block with grace and polish.

As for the cause of Annie's nomination... well, the way things swing in the cage, it's hard to be completely sure, especially when the feeds don't catch it all. But for now, I'm guessing it's a case of too much drama, too fast. She's already asking the rats for alcohol while talking about how much she's looking forward to seeing normal people. And she'll be saying that and more for the next four days.

She slammed? attacked? Andrew early on and that really bugged some of the hamsters. Plus she ran around trying to be in alliances with a lot of different people instead of being cool or selective. Ergo, no one trusted her.

Annie and Rachel briefly talked; Annie perceived an "evil look" and a good-bye wave from Rachel and turned the little incident into a total dramafest, enhancing the story with each telling. The negative energy also involved Andrew and Lane, whio had a tiff about a cookie (!?).

Lane dropped the f-word (rhymes with maggot), I don't know the context. He also expressed his dealings with his yet unknown future ex-wife would include stealing their child. I'm not sure how that will go over with any woman he has met. Or has yet to meet. He's officially off my "tolerable" list.

Brendon is a big wussy, claiming he doesn't want to get involved with the Annie/Rachel drama, of which he IS in the middle, trying to calm down both of them separately.

Monet actually made it into the transcript over at Jokers.

I'll be up for awhile, so I'll add anything important to this post if warrented.

a total dramafest

Let me know when the others try to freeze her tongue to a pole, push her out of a plane, or lock her in a giant pinball with a hysterical panda. Or all three.

obsessive stalking also represents a high possibility.

I vote for Kathy as Most Likely To Inhale A Shoelace.

But who is most likely to get gum in his ear?

Enzo. But only because I stuffed it there as part of the all-orifice plugging plan.

I'm at my basis-in-fact limit.

'How To Get Voted Out First By Really Really Trying. (Also By Being Really Really Trying.)'

Bisexuality: the ability to scare off two genders in one shot.

"How To Get Voted Out First By Really Really Trying. (Also By Being Really Really Trying.)"

Thinking that forming alliances means going around to everyone and making deals with everyone! If I ever went on that show -- and I doubt I will -- I hope I wouldn't make the same error Annie did!

Thinking that forming alliances means going around to everyone and making deals with everyone!

Kind of makes you wonder if she has any puppetry skills.

Yep, what people seem to forget is the alliance with everyone really needs to evolve over a bit of time and best when everyone else thinks they are the one that made the alliance with you.

So either appear to be playing your own strong game and everyone wants to be on your team and will want to team up with you, or appear to be the poor soul that really needs to have at least one friend in the game and they think they are using you as a vote until they have the numbers to get rid of you.

After all people don't tend to announce who they offered an alliance to, but will talk about who was offering one to them. I mean if I offer the alliance I know if I meant it or not.

(which actually may be a stretch for some of the hamsters they cast for this thing, but I digress)

I don't know if they meant it when they offered it to me so the tendency is to want to check it out and see what that person is saying to other people and all it takes is for a couple of people to talk before your Oprah and you get a final two and you and you and you becomes obvious.

Too many people that try this just don't have the patience for it and start trying to push it on everyone rather than set things up and wait for the offers to just roll in.

If I ever applied and got on, I'd probably try to form an initial alliance with one person and with that in hand, wait a little bit to form alliances with other people -- around four others with an inner circle of two of the four. The "inner circle" would be the first two I formed alliances with, then other two would be later. And then, I'd probably try to be the "power behind the throne" -- let someone else look like they're the ones in charge.

Warning: explicit (and immature) sexual discussion. Approach at your own risk.

Anyway, we have a round of hamster golf in progress. There's a chance this is a tune-up for tomorrow night's HoH -- in which case, it's probably a one-putt for each.

Poor isolation booths. It'll be a whole extra week.

S/he claims to have escaped nomination. Most of the hamsters gave this the same consideration they've been giving the twist for the last week: one minute, then return to drinking. The exception is Hayden, whose HoH is running out fast. He's been working things out with Kristen as far as he can -- meaning he still thinks it's Brendon. (And the first talk about that Veto competition having been rigged? Already out there.)

In other Hayden news, he managed to compose a single HoH tweet, plus the mandatory blog. I haven't sought it out: the Jessie lesson still hasn't gone away.

Britney thinks she's fat. I'm mentioning this because all stupid things Britney thinks does may now be under consideration for posting. After all, she makes her money -- *points to skull* -- right there.

Annie feels Jordan won last season due to all of Jeff's hard work. Let me know when you stop laughing.

Lane has added Matt to his saboteur suspect list: apparently Herr Tattoo managed to break the golf balls. He also told Hayden that bringing Kristen into an alliance might be a good move. Too late...

A little worry about Enzo As Ridiculously Vindictive Juror has started to surface in his own group. Gee, no possible trigger for that at all.

DR manipulation was openly discussed, as was the ongoing fact of two blackouts. The gossip team of Britney and Monet also told Hayden that Brendon does something involving -- science! The teleportation of letters may or may not be involved.

And Hayden managed to lock himself out of HoH. Consider it a sneak preview.

Based on last year's template (Jordan winning), Hayden seem to the front runner this year.

(Rhetorical question of the day, “What is with Hayden's bangs? Is he actually trying to look clueless?
