That is over. Yesterday’s pathetic day-long display from the couple ended any…ANY respect this site had for the two.

(BTW–There will be another post coming this am dealing with the upcoming HOH and the twist we expect tonight. The events of yesterday & last night were so insane,however, it all needed it’s own post.)

It started early in the am, when Brendon and Rachel bombarded Shelly with reasons why she (and Adam, as the two will vote together) should vote out Jordan over Brendon. Now, I understand they have to campaign.. That is expected. And mentioning that Jordan has already won is a valid campaign move. But the two quickly moved from honorable campaigning to bashing their “besties” in a way that made me..and Shelly..sick. They claimed that Jeff didn’t “really care THAT much about Jordan.” That he would pick the money over her, and if they kicked her out, Jeff would only be mad for an hour, then would come back to their alliance. They said that Jeff had already teamed up with Dani. They said that Jeff would turn on shelly. They said he already had. They EVEN told Shelly they’d had a “friend” look up the amount of money Jeff had made from his previous CBS ventures (Amazing Race and Around the World w/Jeff) and it was so low that he’d do anything to win.

I gotta tell you, I started getting extremely nervous, because they sounded so reasonable and their arguments compelling. The worst thing was.. So did Shelly. Later, Shelly asked Jordan flat out-”Are you guys teaming up with Daniele?” Jordan was stunned to learn the extent to which Brenchel stooped in their fight to stay. Jeff could have gone off on a bender when he confronted the two. Instead, he told them he’d heard they’d been talking crap about him and Jordan, but he was going to take it with a grain of salt. He told them not to ruin the repairs they’d made to their BB12 reputation by playing dirty now.. “Keep playing with class,” he told them.

They didn’t listen.

At around 3:42pm BBT on the LIVE FEED FLASHBACK- check it out. If you still don’t have the FEEDS– I don’t even know what to tell you. You are missing the REAL TRUE story of what’s going on. The edit CBS gives is so skewed, it has very little to do with what’s really, truly happening in the house. Sign up here- if you want to see the unbelievable insanity from today for yourself.

It went down like this—Dani gave a shout out to Shelly’s daughter on her HOH blog (out on CBS.com today.)  Dani mentioned it to Shelly in what I  believe was a simple, kind gesture. Shelly started crying because she’s missing her kid’s first day of third grade. Rachel saw that and decided that Dani was using Shelly’s emotions to curry favor and went OFF on Dani. I can’t even readily explain what happened next- except to say that after the rest of the house told Rachel she was wrong and they believed Dani did not have ulterior motives, Rachel lost her mind..

I can’t say it any clearer than that. It got to the point that Brendon wants her to leave with him today, and insisted that she talk to “Dr. Zachary” the Big Brother 2011 psychiatrist.

There will be another post coming later this am- about the upcoming HOH and the probability of an evicted HG returning tonight. But yesterday’s events deserved their own post.. WHEW!!

I guess first, we ought to officially congratulate Hayden for winning Big Brother.

I’m glad he won. Of the three left, considering all around performance, he deserved it, so kudos, Hayden. Enjoy…

Now, for the award for best edit ever in a reality show…. The winner is… The editors from Big Brother for giving people NOT in the know, the most skewed picture of who a houseguest really ISN’T…

America… Are you really that delusional? That you believe the edit, showing Britney to be a sweet little funny charmer?  When they showed Monet’s nasty comments, it showed Brit rolling her eyes. When the truth was that it was SHE who instigated all the nasty, negativity in the entire season.

Or have we really become a society of “mean people”? Do we honestly still reward the pretty people who have the blackest hearts?  That was the Britney and Ragan show, plain and simple.

I didn’t care for Rachel. She was simply too much. But did the voters who cast their votes for Brit for AP do so because they LIKE people who spend hours each day talking trash about other people? Or did they simply believe what they were told?

I felt my heart drop when Julie pulled her name out of that envelope. It hurts me to think that America believes in rewarding that sort of ugly behavior. So.. I choose to believe that most were just ignorant.

It is not pretty, but at least it is understandable. The alternative shakes my faith in the values of this country. Apparently, she lives right down the road from where I work. If ever I see her, I will tell her.. I saw the real you, and so did many others. You fooled a lot of people, but I use YOU as an example to my fourteen year old cheer-leader niece of who NOT to be in life.- Although, that is a difficult road, when she sees someone like Britney being rewarded. How do we tell our kids. Be kind. Be nice. Be decent. When they see the exact opposite winning awards??

Shame on you, America.

Goodbye, my friends. Thank you all so much for making this year bearable.

And please come back next year!

It is bound to be a better season! Has to be, right??

UPDATE! Even though she was not my favorite.. This is sad news.

Big Brother 12 jury member Britney Haynes’ Little Rock, Ark., home was damaged in a fire early this morning, according to the Little Rock Fire Department. Fire crews responded to a call at the home, which Hayes shares with her fiancé Nick Grisham, at 1:32 a.m. Wednesday. An outdoor grill is believed to have caused the blaze, the department told EW. Damages are estimated to be around $50,000, according to the Arkansas Democrat Gazette. Little Rock FD would not confirm the figure. CBS has yet to return calls for comment regarding Haynes’ scheduled appearance on tonight’s finale.From EW.com

UPDATE #2: by Lynette Rice
Categories: Reality TV
Image Credit: Cliff Lipson/CBSIn anticipation of its two-hour, 12th season finale tonight, CBS announced that it has ordered a 13th season of Big Brother for next summer.
The current edition posted year-to-year increases, up five percent in viewers (7.64 million versus 7.26 million), four percent in adults 18-49 (2.7 rating/09 share versus 2.6/08), 10 percent in adults 18-34 (2.3/08 versus 2.1/07) and three percent in adults 25-54 (3.2/09 versus 3.1/09).
“Big Brother is our summer hero,” said CBS’ Jennifer Bresnan, executive vice president, alternative programming, in a statement. “Every year, our producers deliver innovative twists and turns, consistently evolving this proven franchise and engaging one of the most loyal and interactive fan bases on television and online.”
The two-hour finale, in which Lane, Enzo and Hayden will compete for the $500,000 prize, will air tonight following the premiere of Survivor: Nicaragua. Big Brother is executive produced by Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan for Fly on the Wall Entertainment, in association with Endemol U.S.A. The host is Julie Chen, who also writes a Big Brother blog for EW.com.

First, I want to apologize. Something crazy has been going on with the site the last couple of days. Not sure what. But I think I’ve got it fixed now. Please feel free to post your final posts. Even some of mine disappeared!

This is it.  Almost three months worth of drama, tears (talking about you, Ragan, Britney), ugliness and, at the end, boredom.

There were highs,

lows

and so-so’s

We had the HG’s and scenes we loved…

And those we loved to hate.

And if it ended with indifference..

Well, the good thing about Big Brother, is that we always have next year to look forward to…

No one truly seems passionate about who wins. But who do you want to see again next year?

If you could pick your All Star “Dream Team” from the last few seasons, since the last All Stars…

Who would it be?? I will share mine with you…

1.) Eric

2.)  Evil Dick

3.) Dan

4.)  Keesha

5.)  Alex

6.)  Jessica

7)  Jeff

8.)  Jordan

9)  Brendan

10)  Ronnie- for someone to really hate…

11.)  Natalie- season 9- cause someome has to be the slut.

12.)  Renny or Jerry- cause we gotta have an old person

13.)  Casey- gotta  have some laughs

14)  Steven- cause you gotta have a funny gay guy

15.)  Brian- cause he deserves another shot.

These were off the top of my head at 4:30 in the morning.  I am sure you guys can come up with a better team..

I have enjoyed you all so much. Well, maybe not ALL of you, but the vast majority anyway.. LOL

Have a wonderful year and I hope to see you all back next year for BIG BROTHER 13!!

greetings from the house

But, back to business, now (I guess)..

We are down to the Final Three, and while I’m sure most of us wish there were someone else vying for the top spot, like my Mama says.. If wishes were fishes, we’d all have some fried.

So…. Lets do a rundown of the possibilities, shall we?

Of the three left, I guess he is my choice. He seems like a genuinely nice, boy-next-door kid.  And maybe he can afford to get a haircut.

1)  Hayden wins final HOH-  Whom does he choose?   A) Lane- who he would almost definitely beat.                                                                                                                                                                                                          Who had almost no social game, and is behind him in wins

.                                                                                                              B) Enzo- who had a fantastic social game- but only one win.                                                                                                                                                                        I believe he still beats Enzo- he was also popular, AND  won some comps.

You know, for the first half of the game, I wanted to call Lane-Ryan (BB9). Which is weird, because I tend to call Ryan-Roy.  This is cause both Lane and Ryan look like Roy- Pam’s boyfriend on “The Office”. Just kinda Blah.. Bland..Babyfaced. Unnoticeable. But, it worked for Ryan who coat tailed his way to 50 G’s-

Honestly, if BB was going for “Looks over Substance” this year,  They only did so-so.

IS THIS THE SAME DUDE???

2)  Lane wins final HOH— Whom does he choose?      A) Enzo- who won ONE POV the whole game, but had a stellar social game–                                                                                                                                                Well, It’s possible he might beat Enzo.   He has at least a slight possibility there.                                                                                                                                                                                              He could throw his wins out there, see what sticks-                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             B) Hayden- who has more wins, AND a MUCH better social game.                                                                                                                                                                     This is a no brainer, if he wants a chance to win.

IMO- Lane is playing for second no matter what…

The next big question is… Who votes for whom in the Jury House??? These are my predictions.. What are yours??

With a HAYDEN/LANE  Final Two???

1- Rachel–Hayden

2.  Kathy—Hayden

3.  Matt—Hmm.. Tough one.. Depends on who wins the final HOH.. But I am leaning towards Lane.

4.  Brendan–I wanna say Hayden, because of the comps, but after he betrayed him at the DE– not sure.. Hmm..Still gonna say Hayden.

5.  Ragan—Another toughie.. I think he and Hayden were fairly close. I never saw him with Lane, really..

6.  Britney– The only certain vote.. Lane

7.) Enzo***- Hayden

With a LANE/ENZO  Final Two???

1- Rachel–Enzo

2.  Kathy—Enzo

3.  Matt—In this situation, I think Matt votes for Enzo, because it was a punk move by Lane to give Hayden the shaft. Then again.. This was the guy who lied about his wife’s mortal illness, so….

4.  Brendan–Enzo

5.  Ragan—Lane

6.  Britney– The only certain vote.. Lane

7. Hayden–Enzo

With a HAYDEN/ENZO  Final Two???

1- Rachel–Hayden

2.  Kathy—Hayden

3.  Matt—Hayden

4.  Brendan–Even though Hayden betrayed him, I still think he votes for him, the only competitor left..

5.  Ragan—Hayden

6.  Britney– The only certain vote.. Lane

7. Lane -Enzo

All right.  There it is… .  What do you guys say?? Agree? Disagree? (Make absolutely no sense at all, just ramble off random BS to try to stir up drama??)  You know who you are!! lol..

OKAY!!   Let’s hear it..  MI AMIGOS!

Also, if you want to get in on the After Season Fun.. Including backyard interviews, Previous Houseguests, and the BIG VEGAS BB BASH.  Sign up here for Superpass!

Since there is pretty much NOTHING going on in the house, except this….

I thought I would relive some of the funniest or most interesting moments…

A Saboteur is in the House

Sabotage! #1

Annie-- Why couldn't you have stayed??

In a comparison of the two Sabo’s, there is no contest. Annie did risky, physical acts, whereas Ragan took zero risks. The one and only thing he did was put a pre-written note under Enzo’s pillow.. ooooooh!

Then, we have the love that blossomed…

who are they kidding?

And then there was perhaps the funniest Have Not comp, EVER!

There were some ugly moments in the house…

And some heroic ones..

None of these worked however, and we are left with three, who were lucky (or savvy?) enough to just wait the others out.

So.. for all of us who say this season sucked. I say.. We had some fun, we had some good time..  And hey.. Next year is bound to be better right?  Especially since the rumor is……

ALL STARS coming up!!  (Fingers crossed)

What was your favorite moment from this season?

If Hayden wins the final HOH- he will definitely take Lane. He knows he will beat Lane. He will beat Enzo, too, but it is more certain against Lane, who didn’t have a social game. But if Lane happens to win the last comp, he has no defense against Hayden, except to inform the jury that Hayden took the Hawaii trip and the 5 G’s. Lane has a little better shot against Enzo, since he can remind them that Enzo only won one comp the whole game. It will be interesting to see his strategy.
Enzo’s game is over and he knows it. He was sulky last night. The meow-meow is going bye bye.

But who really cares…
Watching the jury house vs. the BB house is like watching a 52-inch color plasma TV vs. watching a 13-inch black and white screen. The JH pops, the BB House flops.

Professor Pompous came out with flying colors last night. The look on Ragan’s face, when his super-hero Matt came clean about the sick wife lie was great TV!

And the confrontation between Ragan and Rachel was sublime. Why oh WHY won’t you show us more, more, MORE jury, BB?
I think Rachel genuinely tried to have a “conversation” with Ragan. To ask if he now understood how she felt when she tried to apologize to him, and he rejected her. How she felt when everyone was against her…Of course, he went into full-blown “Professor” mode on her, and the sparks flew! YAY! Awesome..

I had really hoped that Ragan’s “confession” was going to be his reveal that he was, in fact, the Saboteur! But no.. he confessed to being… A Professor… (yawn).

After watching the JH, it’s difficult to go back to watching the ho-hum BB House…..We have Enzo pouting,

Hayden doing nothing…

and Lane having yet another of his “special” showers.

Give us more Jury House!!

And don’t forget, VOTE, VOTE, VOTE for America’s Choice!!

You know who my choice is….

UPDATE: Got a lot of people talking about America’s Choice. Just for the record. Britney and Brendan are dead even on competitions.
Brit: 3 POV-1 HOH
Brendan: 3 POV – 1 HOH.

The first part of the HOH is over, and while we do not yet know how long they hung in, we do know that…

Is once again our HOH winner.. That leaves Enzo and Lane to play off in the second part tonight LIVE.

All we can do now is see which of the two remaining Brigade members can pull enough brain power to win the second part. That ought to be interesting… Dur…

Since Hayden is likely to win the final HOH- Who do you think he should take with him? I am leaning towards Enzo. He is a little tough to take at times, but I like his utter loyalty to the others, whereas Lane blew with the wind, and was wishy-washy. I think Enzo will be genuinely happy to see either of the other two win, especially Hayden. Lane is 100% for Lane. Besides, there are some things in Lane’s past which have come to light that make me a little uncomfortable. In any case, at this point, all we can do is wait and watch..

I am looking forward to seeing the Jury House! Can’t wait to see Ragan’s reaction to his hero, Matt’s revelation..

Rankings are calculated from average ratings submitted by Joker’s Updates users each day. Day 1 is when the cast was revealed.

After viewing Joker’s Updates popularity poll, we see that it is a close race between Britney and Brendan for AC. Well, let’s look at that. Yes, Brit got to final 4, and on the surface, if you only watch the CBS show, when she pretty’s up, she looks pretty good. But if we vote her AC, what kind of message are we sending to all the teenage girls out there? That it’s okay to be a mean girl? That is is fine to trash people behind their backs? I just cannot support that. I will vote for Brendan. Yep. I just claimed that. He is not the ideal choice, but good Lord, he is a better choice than Britney. What kind of person spends hours talking about another woman’s private parts? I can’t do it. Just can’t. What will you do?

The other big news is America’s Choice..

I tried and tried to dreg up some sympathy for Britney. She got played and as a woman, I would normally have hated that. I got SO mad when the boys played Keisha that way in BB10.  But…. for Brit, I just can’t do it. She was just too ugly to too many people,  beginning waaaayyy back when she and Money sat outside laying out and talking nasty trash on every person in the house.. I just can’t, ya’ll..

Interesting too, that she shouted out to everyone except her fiancée?  Hmmm…  what does that  mean?

In any case. She’s gone and the Brigade did what they set out to do. They ran the votes, and got to F3—  I love the jungle comp and I DO hope we see that they hung in there like champs, not chumps…

Looks like the feeds will not be up for some time, so I will post in the  very early am, on who won the first part of the HOH.

Night, guys!

UPDATE- I don’t want to post anything that I don’t know for certain.. Per some tweeters who CLAIM to be in Live audience- Brit was evicted and the Brigade guys began part I of the final HOH comp- Hanging on vines, a la BB10- through a waterfall, and are banged into walls. Again, this is just speculation…Will put up new post after show tonite..

The Brigade seems set to send Brit home.

UPDATE: Just got the word.. The Feeds will be out from sometime this morning, until 6 pm BBT Wednesday.

The big news is sad..  The rumor is that BB will cut the feeds some time this morning, and will hold the veto ceremony and the eviction today during the Feed blackout.  We will know for certain later today, when members of the audience, whom they have scheduled to attend today, tweet and post what happened during the show.

No word yet, if the feeds will be back after the show tonight.

In the past, we have always had the feeds up until and immediately following all the shows.

So, the sum of all this is… we don’t know crap!  sorry! Am I mad.. Heck yeah! I’m mad!!

We will just have to play the waiting game…

Here are some pics to tide us over until we know more..

Brit dyed Lane’s beard.

The Brigade started getting paranoid on each other.

And Random objects in the house.

And let me take this time to tell you how much fun I have had with all of you this summer. Without all of you, this would not have worked. Some say we are nuts to spend this much time on a stupid reality show.

To these naysayers,, I say.. NAY!! If you have only ever watched the CBS show, you didn’t REALLY watch Big Brother. However, if you weren’t able to sign up for the FEEDS, or BBAD..  and you  watched the CBS show, then came here for the real skinny on what is happening. You may now call yourself a true fan!

I did my very best to give you my true, honest opinion on events in the house. I have always loved this game beyond all others because of the psychological aspect. One which you don’t see in any other show. To observe to what levels a person will stoop to win a half a million dollars. I believe this year we saw some people go below and beyond disgusting behaviour. (Talking to you, Britney, Ragan and Matt-with the wifey sick lie).

Anyway.. When I know what happens, you will know, so STAY TUNED and hang in there with me to the bitter end!!

And here are some pics of our beloved HG’s who are no longer with us.. Key sad funeral music..

So long dear Houseguests, and thanks for a fun Season….

UPDATE: May have spoken too soon.  At 5:41 BBT- screen JUST went to Trivia. will let you know when we get some results.

UPDATE: 5:30 BBT- Still no word on POV. They still hear building outside, so there will either be a night comp, or it is some type of luxury comp, with the POV played live on Wednesday. I don’t see how they will have time to do the comp, ceremony  and eviction in one show, especially since the final POV comp is traditionally a long and elaborate one, but… all we can do is wait…  bummer, huh???

UPDATE: Still no confirmation on the POV. The HG’s think it will be today. The HG’s are on indoor LD and there is building going on in the backyard. That is all we know at this time..  1:15 BBT.

Could Britney  BE any whinier. She haaaaates that she has her back against the wall, she haaaaates his game, she haaaaates everyone in this house.  waaah, waah, waah. That is because her tears have gotten her her way so far( e.g. Brendan…) Now, however, only winning will save either her or Enzo.  Enzo is pacing like a caged tiger…

UPDATE!!  Hang on everyone! I think we might have been right in the first place about the Veto being today!  We are trying to verify.. Hang in there and I will let you know!

UPDATE:  Sorry guys.. I guess I didn’t pay enough attention! The POV comp will NOT be today. It will happen LIVE on the Wednesday show.  I will post from time to time, and we can talk about possible scenarios. There will be a lot of wheeling and dealing the next few days, but not much else to talk about until the POV… Sorry!

Wowzers!  Well, faithful followers.. Here it is! The most Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Big Brother 2010 comp of the year! The one we all wait for…(and yes, I know that many of us are not super-excited about the four left) but hey..  You play with the hand you are dealt..

Hayden made his nominations last night, and again, as expected (I have said that a lot this year I know.. this has not really been a year of big surprises), Lane and Britney are nominated.

However, nominations mean very little this week. Everything…. absolutely everything, rides on this POV.

Whoever wins this POV today, will have the most power we have seen in the game all season.

Not only will the winner be in the Final Four, but he/she will also decide who else is in the F3. That is big, because this is where you decide not necessarily who you want beside you at a possible F2, but who you DONT want beside you. The POV winner alone, votes to evict.

This POV comp is typically a combination of skill and questions. HEre are a couple of pics from BB10 and BB11- Those were  grueling, and mind-boggling comps.. Can’t wait to see what happens today!!

Final POV BB10

Final POV BB11

There was little to no game talk last night as all the HG’s know that everything rides on this POV.

Gonna say it once more..  Sign up here, if you want to witness the final endurance comp, when the F3 battle it out!

$9.99 plus $10.00 of FREE MP3 downloads!! You can’t get two latte’s at Starbucks for that!

STAY TUNED for the POV results, I will let you know when they go to trivia, and when we hear the results!
