Caleb Counts On His Fingers And Saves The World!!!

Was it production whispering sweet paranoia in the diary room? Was it the beers Caleb drank at the halfway party?  Was it just one more flip-flop in a house of flip-floppers? Who cares?!? It was crazy good feeds last night for sure! If you missed the fun, it all starts in the hive room with Frankie and Caleb. You can tell it's serious, because Caleb has changed out of those damn bunny slippers and into his cowboy boots. Those boots mean business!
8/6 9:01 p.m. cam 1&2 

The fun continues from there.  It's exactly what I was hoping would happen when the feeds went down for so long last night. I was imagining that it would take all kinds of elaborate things to save Zach, like Pandora's Box, Diamond  Power of Veto, or maybe a Coup de Dingus! One magical intervention involved the ants spelling out SAVE ZACH on the walls of the BB house.  Those ants are smart, it could happen!!

But all it took was a few beers, and Caleb counting on his fingers, wondering WWJD? What Would Jocasta Do? She would come after all of them!  She would never be a number for them!  He flipped the house pretty damn quick. Derrick and Cody helped it along, and Frankie gave it his blessing. Christine just clapped her hands  a lot and said "Wow, Amazing!". She is one shady fook!

Now the Detonators are convinced that Nicole, Donny, and Hayden are Big Brother masterminds. Derrick and Cody are certain that Nicole and Hayden were playing them about Frankie and Christine turning on them. Christine and Frankie are sitting pretty, because they really were ready to turn on Derrick and Cody.

And Zach was sleeping through most of it! He woke up at some point and talked to Nicole, but seemed more concerned about his eviction night poem than he was about votes. He has no idea how close he came to leaving. He was sleeping the other night when they all decided to vote him out, and then he slept though them saving his ass last night.What a froot-loop!!

                                                            Have A Dorky Day!

I'm Bored! Put Me On the Block!

My, oh my, oh my! The evening begins with Jocasta speaking in tongues on the show, and the crazy just overflows onto the feeds. Last night was the perfect ending to a day spent watching Britt kick that ball over and over again. I am not a Britt fan, but she did finish that brutal task with time to spare. Good for you Britt!

A lot of game talk was happening last night. Endless convos repeated  in various versions. And Zach was right in there.  He was trying to get his alliance to put Caleb up instead of Donny.  He explained that Donny is his new best friend, as of 15 minutes ago, and completely trustworthy. He has Donny in his pocket!  Donny should join their alliance! They think this is a terrible idea, and this makes Zach very cranky. He made some valid points as he proceeded to insult and anger everyone in the room. This craziness ends with the alliance saying "No!!".  Zach is thoroughly disgusted with them, and says, well, just put me up. He's not afraid,  he'll be safe. Dude, this alliance is awesome!

While this has been going on up in the HOH, Caleb has been busy with Amber in the hive room. He is trying to talk her into convincing Cody to put Zach up as replacement nom. It was a typical Amber and Caleb boring game talk circle dance around his burning cowboy love. Ugh!

Things were quiet for a while. And Suddenly....Zach!!  He has another great idea! A fabulous idea! He runs it by Christine and Frankie and  they tell him "No! No! No!".  He smirks his smarmy smirk, and races up to the HOH. He presents his surefire plan for chaos and destruction to Cody and Derrick.

He wants to fake a fight with Cody, and have Cody put him on the block. Zach will blow it up at the POV ceremony, and this will send the house reeling in confusion. Donny will then want to make a F2 with Zach, and he will be their puppet. This plan is genius! It can't fail! It will be awesome dude!! Put me up! Put me up! Put me Up! They tell him no in the nicest way. They tell him the hundreds of reasons why this is a very bad plan. Zack looks at them, totally deflated, and says "I'm bored!  Just put me on the block!!!"
( 7/20 11:50 pm cam 1 )

This was the funniest moment of BB16 so far. I laughed so hard I was crying. Cody and Derrick were laughing just as hard. They loved his enthusiasm, but No! No! No! Zach leaves the room begging them to please think about it. To insure that Cody will not go along with this crazy plan, Derrick does his thing and tells Cody that Zach must be America's Player.  Getting himself nommed has to be a task he is getting from the diary room, and he will get $5,000 if he succeeds. This is quite amusing, since Derrick himself is our player, and has already earned $10,000. Derrick is tricky that way.

Zach may be playing to the cameras, eager for face time on the show. He might be a Dr. Will wannabe. He is mostly selfish and mean. He is definitely addicted to causing chaos. But he was so damn funny last night I don't even care. I went to bed happy.

And then, I woke up today only to discover that Brittany has been up all night scheming and complaining. She may have topped Zach in the Most-Genius-Worst-Plan-Ever department. She is going to suggest to Cody that he let her make the replacement nom!!!  He owes her that much at least, doesn't he? And she will nom Zach! She'll explain how this will keep the blood off Cody's hands.  Another brilliant, no-fail plan.  How could he refuse? She at least deserves to choose who sits next to her on the block! Sounds legit to me. Zach and Britt are BB masterminds!!!  They would make a great powerhouse couple.  Zach and Brittany FTW!!!

                                                                 Have a Dorky Day!!

Victoria, What Did You Do???

I was suspicious last night when we had fish for a while, and then all 4 cams were on the hive room. As I watched the convo between Caleb and Amber go on into infinity, I was hoping that the cam shenanigans meant that Victoria was self evicting. She had been crying and complaining to everyone since the Battle of the Block.  She says everyone in the house is so mean, and she is so nice, she doesn't even want to be here anymore. I never heard her actually threaten to self evict, but it was fun to think about.

Quite a while later Zach is up in the HOH with Frankie and Cody in the bird nest. Zach says they have to keep Victoria, especially after what went down today. What is he talking about? What went down?  Frankie and Cody are as clueless as I am. Zach tells them he can't talk about it, but it was something Victoria did in the diary room that you cannot do. What could that be?  He can't tell them because production said not to tell or he would be in trouble. Something that she did, that you cannot do, that might cause someone in production to lose their job!!! Whaaaaaat? Tell me! Tell me!!

We get fish, and then..new topic! No more mention of Victoria. What happened? I want to know!!! Will we ever know?? Did anything even really happen? Zach is great at making things up, so he may be lying to them. Victoria is an emotional mess right now, so she may be making a big deal about nothing. Zach told Frankie and Cody that he went right into the diary room after talking to Victoria and asked them if it was true. He made it sound like they said yes, then warned him not to talk about it to anyone. ( 7/19 2:03:33 am )

So frustrating!! I search the archives and find a really quick exchange between Victoria and Zach  that begins in the kitchen ( 7/18 6:01:12 pm )  Victoria is crying, they go to the storage room, Victoria says "Do you know why they called me to the DR?  It wasn't..." And we get fish. It wasn't what??? What happened?

I can't even imagine any crazy scenarios. What in the world could she do in the diary room that might affect somebodys job? The guys have been complaining about Victoria touching them inappropriately. They can't really believe Victoria has no idea what she is doing. Maybe they talked about it in the diary room and production decided to address the issue with her. But still, what could she do in there that you are not allowed to do? Demonstrate her technique? No, that can't be it, Zach said it had to do with the game.What happened in there???

The diary room is such an enigma. What goes on in there?  Remember last season? When were were all certain that Elissa was receiving the full spa treatment during her hour long diary room  sessions?  What could she have been doing in there for hours at a time?

Jocasta revealed a bit about the diary room yesterday. She was talking to Brittany, who was complaining again about being a target and blah blah blah. She said she just wanted to scream, Jocasta told her to go do that in the DR. She told Britt to just go in there and let it all out, and they will ask her if she wants it filmed or not, and just say no. Jocasta says that's what she does. She goes in there all the time and lets loose and tells them not to film it.  Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!

The DR is our secret weapon.  Our sacred ground!  DR sessions help us separate the truth from the lies. A diary room rant or melt down is our dream come true. We want to see you let loose. Slam the whole house! Cry us a river!  My whole BB world is spiraling out of control!  No, Jocasta, say it ain't so!

                                                                  Have a Dorky Day!

Hush Up And Play The Game!

I love a BB house guest who is there to play the game. I loathe a cast member who considers the show a platform to reach out to the world and change lives for the better. A hg who dreams of the fame and fortune awaiting them after finale night really pisses me off. You are on Big Brother, play the game for the game!!!

Victoria is more concerned with camera angles than game moves. And Devin, well, he has a daughter, and he has already informed production she better be there for the press parties he imagines they have planned for him after he gets voted out tonight.

Jocasta can preach a sermon inspired by the way you butter your toast!  Every single conversation she has quickly turns into a self help seminar. In the real world Jocasta probably helps a lot of people feel better about themselves every day. Her ministry must have a positive impact on her community. Good for her, we need more people like that in the world.  We don't need them on BB.

This is Big Brother, not a storefront church. Play the game, not the audience. Jocasta has talked game about 5 times since the season started.  Have mercy on the live feeders Jocasta!  We need some game talk and we need it now!  We want to love you, but one more sermon may just push us over the edge.

We know you are playing the game. You plant little seeds of doubt here and there, even as you schedule your prayer meetings and sharing circles. Talk some strategy woman!  Get down and dirty!  Use a prayer meeting as a cover to plot Fankie's demise!  Speak in Bible code to pass messages to your alliance. Give us something to help us love you.

Caleb  is working another angle.  Well, he's working a lot of angles, and they all involve limousines and red carpets. Last night he announced that he was officially breaking up with Amber. He wants to get his mind back on the real reasons he is in the BB house. He is all about the fame and glory. Winning the game seems to be incidental to his delusions of grandeur.  He describes several post game scenarios that guarantee him fame and fortune, and limousines galore.

His hunting guide business is going to be a world wide sensation. He will hire fleets of limousines to go on safari.  BB16 Beastmode Cowboy is his new handle, hashtag, twitter page, internet google thing, with a blue check mark. He has no idea what he is talking about, but somehow believes he will crash the internet with his country boy charm.

His homecoming fantasies all hinge on the paparazzi being alerted to his arrival, in a limousine of course, at various venues where the crowds will just go crazy wild for this old country boy. The list include Lowe's, his brother's church in the exact middle of the service, and assorted VIP clubs that will pick up the tab for him and his ever growing entourage.

A recording contract is in the works too!  He will of course sign autographs and pose for fan photos. Caleb even describes, in detail, what his adoring fans will say about him. The one snag in his fantasies is that according to the BB contract he can't promote himself as a BB16 superstar. But, he is certain there are people waiting to do that for him, and they will pay him for the privilege.

I am grateful for the super fans in the cast this season.  Even if they get all googly eyed just being in the house. Even when they do the happy dance in the storage room just because that's what you do on BB. Even when they are obsessed with alliance names, and making big moves week 3, I love them. I even love a super fan like Frankie, who reminds us in every diary room session that he is already famous because his sister is famous  Because super fan players love BB, the game and the experience, I love them. At least until they get these BB posers out of the house. Then they are fair game.

                                                              Have a Dorky Day!

Caleb: Make It Work!

Caleb is weird in so many ways. It's distracting me from my usual BB distractions. I find myself switching cams trying to find Caleb. Last night Nicole and Christine were plotting a hinky vote to cause some trouble for Jocasta and..um...Donny? Or was it Britt?  I couldn't really pay attention because I was trying to see if Caleb was still shooting death stares at Cody and Amber in the hammock.  Hinky votes are my fave BB thing in all the land, and I am obsessed with a maniacal muscleman in a head scarf. Pitiful!

He has the weirdest sense of fashion I have ever seen in the BB house. Shane's pink tank top? Andy's Garanimals? Maggie's sister-wife wardrobe?  Caleb's clothing choices are so randomly weird the others pale in comparison.

He has the unibomber look, with that grey sleeveless hoodie.  The shopping at Walmart look, with the green shorts that are 3 sizes too small.  The upcycle refashion look, with Amber's dress draped around his neck as a scarf. And now, the flaming doo rag look, with a succession of rainbow hued scarves.  So weirdly random. As Tim Gunn would say, there is no continuity, no flow, to Caleb's collection of weird ass costumes for the day.

Well, there is one constant in each of these crazy ensembles: The Death Stare. After Caleb mirror-checks that the long flowing scarf is positioned just so across his beast mode muscles, he heads outside. He positions himself anywhere that he can keep an eye on Amber. The evil eye. The stink eye. The fish eye. Whatever you call it, he stares at her for hours. It's beyond creepy.

This week, Caleb has added a new layer to his weirdness. He is on a fast! A holy mission fast! He will only drink sweet tea and electrolytes, and maybe some protein drink, from now until Thursday. Then, he will eat only the oatmeal part of the slop. He will slam that oatmeal right before the HOH comp, and be full on beast mode, and win that comp. And then Amber will be his forever, they will make F2, he will get a recording contract, and Amber will star in his music videos.

Jocasta is assigned to find all Bible references to fasting. I fear a prayer meeting will soon follow. Somehow, he charms all the girls into lending him their scarves. Well, I have never actually witnessed him asking to borrow them. Maybe he just takes them, like Amber takes all the make-up and headbands without asking.They are, after all, soul mates.

He has this game on lock!  He doesn't want a showmance, that would only distract him from the game. He just wants to get to know Amber! Really KNOW her. And the best way to do that is to dress weird and stare her down for hours, on national television, in a house she cannot escape from!

Like they say in Project Runway, I want to see more from Caleb. His designs are rough right now, with no single theme tying them together. He needs room to grow, to refine his style. He must dig deeper into the girls luggage and go for it.  He has the potential, and the passion, for a full on drag look by week four. Make it work!

                                                                Have a Dorky Day !

The Mystery Of The Missing Condoms

Yesterday the feeds were that crazy BB mix of boring but interesting. Mostly dull with some game talk sparkles here and there. But, late last night,  Zach and Caleb called a truce.Then Frankie worked his crazy magic with Devin, telling him alarming things in that special way that Frankie has of twisting the truth.  Things went to hell from there. Bomb Squad Outing : The Sequel.  All kinds of crazy things will soon transpire as a direct result of Devin's antics last night.

Meanwhile, everyone seems to have forgotten all about the missing condoms! Earlier in the evening, when the girls were thinking up pranks against the boys, they decided to make condom water balloons. Brittany discovered that three condoms were missing from the box they got from the storage room.  The girls went wild, and stealth whispering ensued.

Speculations led directly to Zach and Frankie. Jocasta told the girls she had heard sex sounds coming from their direction the other night. But then she figured it was just the people in the walls. Um...what? She figured the camera dudes were having sex in the walls, so she just went back to sleep?

The case of the missing condoms was soon forgotten when the Devin crazy fest began. Well, forgotten by all but me. How could the live feeders miss three condoms worth of night vision shenanigans? Why were Zach and Frankie the only suspects? Why didn't each of the girls launch separate, undercover investigations, and report back at the first secret meeting of a newly formed alliance called The Trojans???

I am so intrigued by the behind the scenes details of Big Brother. When I first started following the live feeds, I was amazed that BB supplies the hgs with all kinds of sex related paraphernalia. I tried to imagine the meetings and memos that led to condoms and dental dams being added to the storage room shopping list. Does CBS order them in bulk? Is there a central warehouse that dispenses them as needed?  Do they send an intern out with that shopping list?

Back on the feeds, Brittany and Jocasta seem to have boarded the Devin crazy train. Everyone else is wondering what the hell went on in that HOH room with Devin, Jocasta, and Brittany. They practice their holy mantra: deny, deny, deny! These hgs are more concerned with the game than the missing condoms! What a bunch of silly heads!

I suspect that  Caleb and Devin slipped those condoms into their pockets just in case their stalk-mance dreams come true. When the girls discovered the condom shortage, diversionary tactics were required. Caleb forms a truce with Zach and sends Frankie upstairs with a secret coded message. Devin deciphers the message, and creates a decoy by proclaiming that he is now going rogue. Frankie did his best to garble that secret message, so there is still a chance that the evidence will lead us back to Zankie.

The girls secret condom alliance seems to have disbanded. The Trojans are no more. I can only hope that live feeders across the land are searching the archives for clues. Examining every minute of night vision footage for telltale signs of hanky-panky. Please, live feeders, don't fail me now!

                                                                   Have a Dorky Day!

Whut???

I close my eyes for one minute and look what happens! Well, actually I went to bed. I just wasn't in the mood to wait for hours to see Devin cry one more time, in the HOH reveal.  And Amber was already complaining about how hard it was to be HOH, and she was getting on my nerves. Ugh.

I wake up to discover that our whole  BB timetable is all topsy turvy from this seasons twisted twist. Nominations have already happened? Whut??? 

Plus, the BB Rule Book made it's first appearance! I love it when the rule book comes out. I want one! I would be flipping through those pages every day! Earlier in the evening, Jocasta  brought out the rule book in the storage room. There was some question about food deliveries or something. Of course Devin was there, he needs more food NOW! Most of the house guests were surprised to hear that there was a BB rule book. Jocasta seemed to be the only one who knew of it's whereabouts. She doesn't miss much.

The rule book came out again a while later. Well, the readers digest version of the rule book. Amber reads the rules of nominations to Devin.. And then Devin shares his thoughts on the noms with Amber. For most of this convo, he is staring off at everything else in the room but Amber. Then Amber starts doing the same thing. Every time they happen to look at each other they look away really fast and just kinda ramble on, not really saying much of anything.

Four noms makes for really crazy strategy convos with the Bomb Squad. Once again this twist is messing with my mind. And the accelerated schedule doesn't give me much time to recover.They did the nominations in the middle of the night? We already have the winners of the Battle of The Block?? Whut? It feels like I'm on a BB speed date.

My BB brain hurts. I don't even want to think about a week of Devin as HOH. He is tarnishing my shiny-happy-newbie vibe. It's the 4th of July and there is work to be done, celebrations to attend.  I must prep my carrot dogs. Yes, it's a steamed, grilled, carrot on a bun. And Devin can't have any!

                                                                         Have a Dorky Day!
