The past few days of feeds have been so confusing! Lots of he said, she said, I said, who said? People speaking a teeny tiny bit of truth mixed in with a string of lies. Christine and Frankie are pretty good at this. They are so good at lying that I can't even figure out what they really want to accomplish with all their lies.
My dislike for Frankie and Christine grows more intense with each lie they tell. But when Nicole starts lying, I like her a little bit more. When Cody changes his mind with every lie he hears I just want to smack him. But when Derrick switches his strategy after hearing several possible lies, I wonder if maybe he is onto something. And I still can't tell if Hayden is lying to Nicole, or to Cody and Derrick, or not lying at all!
I love it when one lying house guest discovers that another hg has been lying! They get so mad and heated about it. So indignant and self righteous. They demand justice! They want to call them out on the lies right now, immediately, let's go confront that liar! The liar is now their number one target! The liar must go!! Let's make up some nasty lies about that liar!!
By yesterday the lies were so obvious that everyone is aware that Frankie and Christine are working together and lying up a storm. But then the lies seemed to start to conflict, diverge, and morph into possible reverse psychology lies. Cody and Derrick can't decide if Frankie and Christine are lying to get Zach out, or to get him to stay. They can't even decide if they want Zach to go or stay. So damn confusing!!!
The threat of a double eviction has pushed everyone into emergency lying mode. They must plan for every possible scenario of HOH and noms. By eviction night they will all be lying on the one hand, and swearing on the Bible with the other. Lies will be flying left and right to cover their asses with each potential HOH winner. But, as any previous house guest will tell you, it's really hard to cover your ass when your pants are on fire.
Have a Dorky Day!

Twisting The Night Away
One night of BB16 live feeds has my brain twisted beyond all hope. Big Brother never fully explains the rules of a twist. Never, ever! On the CBS show, Julie speaks very slowly and carefully as she explains it to the house guests. We listen, and we try to understand. We text and tweet and chat and try, really try.
When the feeds come on we search for clues. It's seriously hard work. Even though this cast has at least one camera talker (Frankie) we never got the whole story. We know the current noms, and the safe noms, and who made noms. We know the current HOH, and the losing HOH.
But how the noms were made is still being debated. Here is what my twisted brain finally came up with after keeping me up all night:
I think that Frankie made noms FOR Caleb from Caleb's team. And Caleb made noms FOR Frankie from Frankie's team. And Caleb's noms, that Frankie picked for him, won the Battle of the Block. So that means Frankie's noms, that Caleb picked for him, lost the battle and are still noms, and Frankie lost his HOH.
If the HOH's picked their own noms, why did they pick weaker players?
I did hear that some peeps heard Frankie say he nommed Paola himself, because he thought she was starting a girls alliance. Another theory is that the noms were the hg's who dropped first in their HOH comp. So I could be wrong. I usually am. But I can't think about it anymore. It hurts my brain.

Happy Shiny Newbies!
My BB prayers have been answered. The season 16 cast is all newbies!! All the crazy rumors about returning players were wrong. Unless the 2 night premier twists us a veteran player wedgie! No, not gonna worry about that right now. I'll just enjoy the moment. Even a heavy sprinkling of recruited cast members can't bring me down from my BB high. I'm so happy for fresh meat that I love them all..for now anyway.
Well, Frankie is kinda pissing me off with his built in fan base, especially with one of this seasons twist being America voting to influence the show more than usual. I love an all newbie cast because it creates an even playing field, and Frankie might be messing with my happy time with his famous (never heard of her) sister and her fan base.
But I won't dwell on that. I have 3 more days to revel in newbie bliss, and I am going to enjoy it while I can.
Have a Dorky Day!!
PS. Since this is not a BB recap/update blog, I didn't feel the need to do a cast preview. I leave that work to the experts. You'll find some great previews at the blogs on my blog list.

I Drive A Convertible!!!!
Sequester time!! All the new hg's are locked away in some hotel until launch night. This is when Big Brother production must be playing all kinds of mind games with the cast. Some bad seeds were surely planted during the audition process, but now production is in full control. Now Big Brother owns them.
The real fun must begin with luggage inspection. The hg's were given a list of what NOT to bring into the BB house clothing wise. No logos, and nothing that messes with the camera, like sparkles, and dots, and stripes, and white whites. But that list is a decoy! Subterfuge! Sneak attack!. An excuse to confiscate anything they fancy. What production wants is a character..a story. So they pull all the clothes they don't want that character to wear. The biggest impact is usually felt by the female hg's.
BB pulls all the skimpy sparkly clothes, and Voila! A sister wife is born! The modest clothes are pulled, and 4 pairs of shorty shorts and one bustier are left, and Hooray!! Half-naked-all-the-time-chic is in the house! At this point the hg is surely freaking out, so BB distracts them by moving on to cosmetics and personal care items. The one item they need to survive will be pulled for sure, along with their fave hair styling tool.
But there is always one girl BB lets keep everything... just because. The missing clothes are mostly forgotten until about a month into the season. Tension is high, lines are being drawn, and some girls begin to notice that one girls clothes have sparkles and dots, plus she has her special fave moisture cream, and BB gave her hair dye!!! She's a mole! She's America's Player!! She's best friends with Allison Grodner!!
One of my fave moments of last years horror show of a season was when Gina Marie had a melt down about her clothes. It was glorious and horrible. I never actually saw it. My cams wouldn't change, so I was stuck in another part of the house, and chat friends had to narrate, which only added to the hilarity. Gina Marie's clothing had logos everywhere and BB had her mark them out with a sharpie, but the sharpie kept fading so BB had to take even more of her clothes away. She was screaming and crying and wailing. "I don't dress like this! I don't wear capris! I'm Italian! I have class! I drive a convertible!" This went on for hours. No one could console her. "BB took all my clothes! I drive a convertible!"
It's moments (hours) like that on the live feeds that prove that BB is a master at this big brother business. Every aspect of house life is geared towards breaking the hg's down, building them back up, only to smash them down again. All for our viewing pleasure.

It's A Dorky Big Brother Blog!!
Big Brother USA 16 will be starting soon. The live feeds will take over our lives. We surrender willingly. Clean the house, stock the fridge, update your BB blog bookmarks, and reconnect with your chat room peeps. Yes, we do have a life, and it will be on hold until the finale.
I am intrigued by the world that revolves around Big Brother USA and the live feeds. Feed watchers, chatters, bloggers, podcasters. I want to know how these people survive the summer, and what they really think about certain aspects of the Big Brother TV show and the feeds. I also have questions about the twilight zone universe of BB production. Questions that need answers, dammit!
After all the crazy bad nonsense that happened during BBUS 15 live feeds, many of us wondered if there would even be a season 16. Or maybe there would be a new season, but no live feeds!!! I'm curious to see how things develop this season.
So I decided to start a BB blog. A place where I could share my thoughts and questions, and invite some people to share their own views of BB feed life. There are plenty of BB recap and live feed update blogs, this is not one of them. My favorite ones are listed in my blog roll. They help fill in the blanks when I absolutely must leave the house, or fall asleep right before the hg's get alcohol.
Let's see what happens here during season 16. I am not a BB expert, or a BB trivia encyclopedia. I get lost a lot during the feeds, but my chat friends draw me a map and help me on my way. I am extremely low tech, so it may take me a while to get in the blog and twitter groove.
