See You Laters!

I did it! I survived BB16! I hope to be back in February to blog Big Brother Canada. Follow me on twitter so I can let you know when I start posting again. My twitter link is right over there ----->>

Blogging BB has been such a blast! When I started in June, I decided that I would write about whatever caught my fancy, and have fun with it. I didn't really expect to have many readers. I just wanted to write about the crazy world of BB live feeds.

I didn't want to do a recap or feed update blog. That takes a lot of work! I left that to the professionals. My blog list includes my favorite bloggers.  After only one season of writing my dorky little BB blog, I respect them even more. They are gods to me!

I figured I might have about ten peeps from chat who would check out my blog, and maybe come back now and then to read some more. Feedsters are hungry for details! We want times, and places, and lots of pretty pictures! My blog is pretty sketchy in these key areas.

I chose not to include screen caps. I am extremely low tech, and I suspect that screen caps involve a lot of clicking on things, etc. I don't like to click on things, it makes me nervous. I didn't include too many time stamps either. I must confess that I didn't even think about time stamps until pretty far into the season. I am such a dork!

Twitter would be a great tool for a new BB blogger to use, right?  Like, get the word out!  Network! Follow!  Start a conversation!  But every time I went to tweet my first tweet, I had nothing to say! I finally did get started, but it has taken me months to get in the twitter groove. I was so bad at Twitter that Twitter For Dummies started following me!  Seriously!  If they follow everyone, please don't tell me. I want to believe I am special.

Okay. Enough about me! What about you? My loyal readers?  I am so amazed and grateful for your support! Most of you have found me through chat or Facebook groups. And I have to thank you again for allowing me to post my blog link. You all spread the word for me. Without your shares, and comments, and positive feedback, I would probably still have about ten readers.

And for those readers who found me through Google, you did some of the heavy work too!  It took me two months of posts to really pay attention to tags/labels!  How did you even find me? You had to be seriously committed to your BB16 search quest to find my dorky little blog!

Special thanks to Connie R. for setting me up with the dorkiest BB blog ever!  My typewriter pic! My Barbie pic!  No BB graphic anywhere!  I love it!  It feels like I am undercover BB!  It is so completely dorky!!!

Big hugs to Jeff and Jenn, the best site and chat hosts in all the lands!

Group hug to my chat family!  I can't imagine watching BB without you! And a special hello, and thank you, to all the lurkers in chat!  I know you have been in super stealth mode when you read my posts!

Thanks to everyone in the fb groups for all of your comments and feedback! It's been fun getting to know you all! I will still be checking in, this is not goodbye.

See you all back here in February for BB Canada!

                                                 Have a Dorky Day!

Finally, The Finale!

So....the finale wasn't quite as bad as I expected. Not as good as I had hoped for either. Happens every year.  Julie builds me up, only to smash me down.

Hooray for Derrick! He worked 24/7, double-triple-overtime, to win BB16 . I kind of like that Cody took Derrick to F2. I admire loyalty, and I like it better when there are two game players at the end. And Victoria didn't cry! You go girl!

And Donny won AFP! Or was it AFH? Whatever, five million votes! That's pretty awesome. And what a great job Julie did with that reveal! You just know that Frankie thought he had gotten ten million votes, all for his own self! His reaction was priceless! That almost made up for how bad the rest of the show was.

Then we move to the back yard interviews. That reporter was terrible! Has he ever used a microphone before?  Those questions were ridiculous! And I think the camera dude was the last surviving live feed switch intern. He dropped the camera!

Hee hee! Donny confessed that he was the one who crossed out Victoria's name in the bathroom! Some peeps are really mad at him for this, but I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. His back yard interviews were the best! He is hilarious! I want to make him a tee shirt:

I'm trending on Twitter

....whatever that is.

Zach was so cool! Just chillin. Happy for everybody. Cody just wants to have some beers with Big Jeff. All the hgs except for Jocasta and Devin were pretty gracious about everything. Jocasta was still trying to build her church, and Devin simply has no idea how to talk to people. He just smiled and said stupid things that ended up sounding just plain rude.

And suddenly, Blankie! That's my new name for him. I just made it up right now, this very minute! I want to blank him out of my BB memories. He was so all about him, all over the place last night. Dancing and prancing and kicking and singing and posing and all those things he does to keep the cameras on him. Ugh.

Today I am resisting all urges to click on anything Blankie related. I'm not gonna click, share, like, retweet, or look at anything that's about Blankie.  Blankie on The Talk? Not looking! Blankie jets off to SNL?  Not caring!  HA!  I'll show him!!!

All the hgs can now go back to being who they are in real life. I wish them all well. They entertained me for almost 3 months, We have had our fickle way with them, and now their life is their own again. 

Everyone but Blankie. Blankie just makes me all kinds of cranky. I want to white him out from the BB16 story, but I can't. Well, maybe I can!  It's my very own dorky blog after all. I could, if I wanted to, go back through all my posts and Frankie! And make him Blankie!!! 

Oh my Gawd, that's a lot of work. That would take me days and days. Also, most likely, nobody would ever notice!  I'm still worn out from last night, I have no energy for a project of this magnitude. But I can Blankie his ass out of all future posts!  

#AnyOneButBlankie   For the good of all!!!

Have a Dorky Day!

Oh My Gawd! It's Finale Night!

It's finale night! What's gonna happen? I have no idea!!!

Who will win the final HOH?  Will Derrick and Cody stay true to each other? Or will they betray each other, and take Victoria to the end?  Will Victoria even notice, or will she be too busy trying to fit into her sparkly see-through dress that she finally got back from Big Brother?

Why is Dr. Will talking to the jury? Is he there to smash Frankie's evil plans to influence the jury votes? Will he accidentally, on purpose, tell Frankie he looks pretty good for a 31 year old mogulomaniac?  Will he make a golf date with Zach, and ask Frankie to be their caddy? I hope so!

After all the hokey clips, and scripted jury questions, will there be enough time to reveal all the twisty twists? Will we have some good long reaction shots of mouths agape and eyes agog?

Will the audience be a sea of pink hats and Team Zach shirts?  Will Julie be wearing hand crafted Froot Loop earrings?  Will the "Zach's Best Moments" montage make Frankie cranky? Yes, please!

And then there's Caleb and Amber! Will he be wearing those damn bunny slippers? Will it be the most awkward reunion ever? With limousines, cruise tickets, and pickle bananas?  Will we witness the beginnings of StalkMance: The Sequel?

So many possibilities! I am getting more excited by the minute!

Will Devin bring his daughter?  Will Ariana bring her entourage?  Will Frankie get booed? Will Zach start climbing on the furniture and set the monkeys free???

I am very excitable now!

Will Victoria cry if she is evicted, and make us all cry when she cries with Julie? Or will Victoria make it to final two, and win the game, and then be all like "I played the best game ever!" and make us regret that we secretly wanted her to win in the first place?

Will Hayden propose to Nicole? Will Caleb propose to Amber? Will Frankie propose to Zach?  Will Brittany get all pissed off when nobody proposes to her?

Will the jury demand a re-vote when they discover that Derrick is a police officer? Will we see a special feature of "Donny Thompson: Secret Agent Groundskeeper!"? Will Jocasta speak in tongues when she casts her vote?

Will Hayden moon the audience? Will Pao-Pao miss the finale because nobody remembers who she is, and security won't let her in?  Will Joey smack all the girls upside the head and say "I told you so?"

Okay, now I am seriously nervousing, and filled with high expectations. Will tonight's show be anywhere near as crazy good as I am imagining? Or will my BB dreams be smashed to smithereens?

Will I be tweeting my joy, or composing open letters to CBS?  Will I go to sleep happy, or wake up tomorrow and adopt lots of cats, and write petitions up Julie's wazoo?

Oh my Gawd! It's finale night! What will become of us? I have no idea!!!

                                                Have a Dorky Day!

Goodbye Back Yard, It's Been Real !

Last night the final three said goodbye to the back yard. Goodbye hammock. Goodbye fake grass. BB has told them they will be locking down the back yard Tuesday at 7:00 am. Goodbye pool. Goodbye hot tub.

All of these goodbyes while laying on wet astroturf to reenact last season's final three goodbye's. They share back yard memories. This takes quite a while. Cody and Victoria get a little fidgety, but Derrick is just laying under his BB sky soaking it all in. Goodbye barking spiders. (barking spiders??!!!)  Goodbye ants.

They already took the last swing on the hammock. And right before that, Victoria had one last try at getting Derrick to admit he had promised her f2:

Victoria: Can you just admit?
Derrick:  Admit what?
Victoria: That you said the thing...
Derrick:  I said what you think I said, but my intentions were obviously different than you thought they were.
Victoria: So we never had a final two?
Derrick:  I don't think we did.
Victoria: Sigh........

Goodbye weights.  Goodbye couches. Goodbye pillows.

Derrick says they gotta put the cover on the pool table for the last time. I never saw them do this before. I think this is the first time they have ever used that cover. But they are caught up in a Fellini film moment as they say their last words at the pool table funeral. Cody is so sad he might just cry.

Did Derrick get a final Team America mission? A mission to:
A) creep me out, or B) make Cody cry?

Cody writes his name in the dew on the grill cover. A bird shrieks in the night.  I'm getting a little freaked out here. They are all strolling around aimlessly thinking morbid goodbye thoughts. Goodbye washer. Goodbye dryer.

BB: Holla! Froot Loop Dingus!

Thank goodness Zach is here in spirit, to comfort us during the last moments of the saddest ever BB back yard memorial service.

BB scares them with a lockdown announcement. They all freak out and panic. BB announces lockdown is over. They calm down and continue with their goodbyes. They are sad, and tired, and acting pretty damn weird. Goodbye camera pole in the middle of the yard.

They finally head inside to get ready for bed. Thank gawd this nonsense is over! Then Derrick runs back outside for one last goodbye. He races over to the pool. Goodbye Ducky!

BB is playing some really weird sound over the loudspeakers. It sounds like that creepy freaky sound in that movie The Langoliers. It's freaking me the fook out! Maybe its barking spiders! Is that what they sound like?

They just ignore the sound and make a bedtime snack. I would make one too, but the lights are off in my kitchen, and I just know there are barking spiders waiting for me.  And I know what they will shriek at me with that awful Langoliers barking spider sound. Goodbye Dorky!

                                    Have a Dorky Day!

This Final Three Is Killing Me!

The final days in the BB house are designed to make everyone go completely bonkers. The feeds get sooooooo boring, the hgs are sooooooo bored. Game talk is circular, repetitive, mind numbing. At this point in the season my skull is sloshing with a puddle of BB brain-mush.

This particular final three is seriously close to driving each other insane. Cody is cussing up a storm about everything.  He is hyper to the max. He has completely lost patience with Victoria. He wants Derrick to please just make her shut the fook up! Tell her there is no hope! Squash that girl's BB dreams right this minute!

Ever since Cody outed The Hitmen during Caleb's eviction, Victoria has been a little cranky. After Derrick won part two of the final HOH, she has been on a mission to get direct answers from him about who he would take to the final two.

But she is doing it in her own special Victoria way. She hammers away at him for hours, talking so low you can barely hear her. She also speaks in sentence fragments that mostly make no sense. She wants direct answers, but rarely asks a direct question. It's driving Derrick and Cody crazy!. Me too!

I kind of want her to just start screaming at them demanding answers! I wish she would just give them hell for these final days. Victoria actually thinks she has played a good game. She has almost convinced herself that she has brought Derrick to the end with her game play. This whole Hitmen alliance business is really pissing her off.

I think she really wants to get mad, but still holds some small hope that she will be taken to the final two by one of these guys. I bet Victoria is a glorious force to be reckoned with when she is truly furious. That pink hat incident was just a tease.  I want to see her spit fire and spew Hebrew! I want her to get all Victoria Princess Warrior on their asses!!! Yes, please!

Derrick tells her so many versions of why he shouldn't take her to the final two, it's no wonder the poor girl can't speak in complete sentences. But he never tells her point blank that he isn't taking her. He talks around it. He is slowly, methodically, painfully working her for a jury vote. Derrick is tricky that way.

Cody says that if Derrick doesn't tell her she has no chance of final two, he will tell her himself.  He wants Victoria to stop following Derrick around. Cody just wants to have a good time being Big Brother's Most-Amazing-Secret-Alliance-Final-Two-Ever, and Victoria is ruining all of his fun!  His Hitmen reveal seems to have gone to his head. He may actually follow through on this threat, if Derrick doesn't finally just tell her he is taking Cody to the end.

Meanwhile, it's hard for me to believe these guys are really not planning to take Victoria to final two. Are they lying to each other? Are they lying to us? I never get it right at the end. My brain hurts just thinking about it.  My final two predictions are always completely wrong. Well, I am mostly wrong the whole season, but I am always crazy wrong in the end. BB brain-mush FTW!

                                         Have a Dorky Day!

Bye Bye Caleb! Hello Final Three!!!

Caleb looked so sad when he got evicted. But then he perked right up when he saw the live audience and all those cameras! He gave Julie a flower!  Not as romantic as a pickle banana, but a lovely gesture all the same. Then he posed for the cameras and blocked Julie's shot! BeastMode style!

And we are left with the final three. Cody, Derrick, and Victoria finally get the endurance comp they have been begging for all season.  It was a beautiful set, with rainbow hang gliders, a beautiful sky, and all kinds of scenery. And we had wind, and rain, and lightning.  And then they just kinda stood there, hanging on. 

Was it just me, or was this comp pretty boring?  After Victoria dropped I just lost interest. Then Derrick failed in his roundabout way of getting Cody to drop. I figured that between Derrick and Cody it didn't really matter who won, so I went to bed. I am a sad excuse for a BB blogger. Pitiful!

Cody won!  Derrick and Cody were happy. Victoria was a little pissy. She asked Derrick if he had thrown the comp.  He turned it around pretty quick, saying maybe he should suspect her of throwing it. Crisis averted. Then they all just sat around being the final three. 

Derrick and Cody have a few quick convos about the coming comps, final two, and the fame and glory of The Hit Men alliance. Derrick and Victoria have some convos about their own secret alliance, that for some reason has no alliance name. Then I think they sort of officially make up from their fake fight, in front of Cody. Not that she would ever give Derrick her vote. No, Cody, don't you fret about that.

Meanwhile, Victoria is still worried about her hair. She and Cody talked about Amber constantly asking Victoria if she wore extensions. She starts to tell us about Ariana's hair loss, and we get fish. (CBS is still kissing Grande butt.)  Anyway, she promised to show him her real hair. She keeps saying that she doesn't want anyone to see her without extensions, then she asks if they want to see. If Victoria makes it to final two, she might just reveal her hair to the jury.

She is also worried about what to wear on finale night. BB has all her nice clothes, and she is really getting ticked off about it. This girl has complained after every single nomination, comp, and ceremony, all season. Even when she was absolutely safe, she would complain or worry. Right after Caleb was evicted she started complaining about her clothes. You are in the final three!!! Stop complaining!

So now we wait for part two of the HOH comp. And then we will wait for the finale. There is a lot to be revealed on finale night. How will the hgs respond to the Team America twist? How will Team America feel about failing a mission they thought they nailed? 

And if Derrick wins, what kind of crazy riot will erupt when Julie tells them that Derrick won an extra $50,000?  I can picture them all now, counting on their fingers how much money Derrick won! This should be a lot of fun. But Frankie will have to be part of this reveal, damn it.  He will have one more opportunity to be the star of the show. Ugh! 

It will be fun when Donny's secret identity as a groundskeeper is revealed! I hope we have a close up of Caleb and Frankie when they discover that Donny got an acting gig!!! And then we have America's Favorite Player! If the planets are aligned in our favor, either Zach or Donny will win this coveted award. And that close up of Frankie, when he realizes that he hasn't won AFP, will be the icing on the cake of my BB16 finale! 

                                               Have a Dorky Day!

I

We Made It To The Final Four!!

Remember that guy who was on BB16?  That little weasel who tried to use his celebrity sister, and some charity, to win the game?  He was a real camera hog, always singing and dancing and doing stupid stuff to get attention? He was such a diva. I think he had pink hair, or maybe it was blue?  And CBS kissed his glittery butt? And Julie acted like a silly fangirl when he was finally evicted? I just can't remember his name. Oh, never mind, it doesn't really matter.

So, here we are at the final four! I can't believe we made it this far. Only one more week to go! Derrick is the new HOH. Caleb and Victoria are on the block. Cody won the veto.  It's looking like Caleb will be going to jury. Things could change, but I think that Derrick will make sure that Caleb goes. He's tricky that way!

Caleb is most definitely nervousing.  Doing a lot of pacing. Looking very serious. Dreaming up killer speeches for the veto ceremony. He is looking worried, and a wee bit sad.

I have to say that I will be a wee bit sad if Caleb doesn't make it to final three. He has provided us with endless hours of entertainment. The first few weeks of Caleb feeds were awesome! He came up with one delusion after another, and each delusional episode required a new ridiculous costume. And he made a pickle banana!

He channeled all the scariest BB stalkers into one epic StalkMance. He gave us hours and hours of creepy stalker Amber love scenarios. Endless hours. Painful hours. Days and days of hours and hours of obsessing about Amber.

Ok, now that I have walked down memory lane with BeastMode Cowboy, I might not be too sad if he doesn't make it to final three. It might be a relief.

But then we would be left with Victoria. Yes, it's fun to wish for a crazy win for Victoria, just to show the bros a thing or two. But at least Caleb was playing the game. Of course, he did have to learn the game first, since he had no idea how BB works. Victoria seemed completely oblivious to the game for most of the season. Victoria in the final three would be a hoot for sure.  It might just happen.

She is convinced she will win the endurance part of the final HOH. No doubt. Guaranteed. She told Derrick she is going to crush it. End of story. They talk about the first endurance comp, the first HOH.  She tells him that she would have won that comp if it wasn't for her extensions. Turns out the extensions weighed ten pounds after they were sprayed with all that goop. And every time the log turned her upside down, they would hang down and really hurt her head  Her extensions caused her so much pain that she had to drop.

Those extensions have caused her so much trouble and worry. Last night, before she washed her hair up in the HOH shower, she told Derrick all about her hair. Well, she didn't tell him why her hair fell out, that part is still a mystery. But she did explain how traumatized she was when it happened. She is still so ashamed and mortified that I can't even make fun of her.That's kind of how it's been all season. She is so odd, so ditzy, so bad at this game, and yet I kind of like her for making it this far in spite of herself.
9/17  2:45 a.m. cam 1

Here she is in the final four, and she is still so worried that the hgs know she wears extensions, that they might see her without them. After her shower she shows Derrick her real hair. She lets him touch it. Brave little princess. Maybe she needs to go to the jury house now, so she can have some privacy to get her hair ready for the finale. Run away little princess, run while you can.
9/17  3:19 a.m. cam 1

I can't wait for tonight's show, and then the endurance comp we have all been waiting for. I hope and pray that BB lets us see the rest of the comp on the feeds. It better be the endurance comp to beat all endurance comps. We deserve it. We made it to the final four! We survived!!! Live feeders FTW!

                                             Have a Dorky Day!
