Endurance Comp - Ian Is Out

After an hour delay, the endurance comp finally began. It's one of those "slam into the wall" type comps - this time with a fishing theme. The three contestants are on a giant hook that is dipped into a pond, lifted out, and then slammed into the wall. 

Dan and Ian were talking through the whole game, but Danielle was saying nothing. Ian began struggling a few minutes ago, and finally fell off. I missed it when it happened due to some skipping feeds, but fired up the ipad to watch the replay and grab some caps.

Here's a few more pics from earlier in the event.

If you caught the end of the CBS episode tonight, Dan defended his move on evicting Shane by saying he was doing it as her "coach" to get her to the end. Keep in mind he hasn't been a coach since August 2. So now that Ian was out of the comp, they asked him to go inside so they could talk. 

Dan then laid into the charm, telling her that as his coach he was going to get her the prize money. "When I take you and you win. I'll have bragging rights that I coached someone into $500,000". Danielel asked for him to swear on Chelsea (again), but warned him that "if you're lying to me, I will castrate you slowly with a butter knife!"

Needless to say, Danielle dropped and Dan won round one. Ian came out, but clearly isn't buying Danielle's story that she "slipped".

Endurance - This Won't Take Long

When 1/3 of the participants are down before the CBS broadcast is completed, you know this will be a short competition. In fact, we're now down to just three, as while I was typing that first sentence Danielle also dropped. We're down to Shane, Dan, and Ian. Joe was the first down, and he "won" some sort of undisclosed punishment which will probably be nothing more than a dumb costume destined to give him more yelling time on Sunday's show.

And...as I was uploading that post, Dan "dropped". No doubt in my mind he wasn't really trying...and Shane told him he was safe.

It's still Shane versus Ian, with Dan pretending to be sick on the sidelines and Danielle complaining that even looking at Shane makes her dizzy.

Still at it almost two hours later!

For some reason, we also had this wonderful view for a short period of time.

Shane and Ian asked for a little time...and after agreeing not to nom or backdoor either Shane or Danielle, Shane dropped to give Ian the win. As the feeds went to fish you could hear Ian say, "now I can use that speech I was working on..."

Semi-Endurance Comp

As stated in the episode recap, there is a "Slip-n-Slide" type competition going on right now, with everybody navigating across "ice" to fill jugs with water (or some sort of liquid). Besides winning HOH, each person can instead go after either safety from being nominated/evicted this week or a cash prize of ten grand that was voted on by twitter followers.

The first victory came pretty quickly, as Britney decied to go after safety.

Shane is in the lead for HOH, and Boogie will probably get the cash.

Boogie won the cash.

Minutes after Ian said he peed his pants (but as joking), Shane won. How exciting.

Endurance Competition and Coaches Get to Play? Wrath of Boogie?

Yes, its going to happen.  The coaches will at the very least be given the opportunity to enter the game tonight on the live eviction show and I pretty much expect them to all say YES.  Boogie has said that as long as Frank stays in the house he won't play but guess what? Franks going to be long gone by HoH competition time (unless there is a really odd turn of events).

I've been writing all week about how I was surprised Mike Boogie and Frank have seemed so calm and not nearly as paranoid as I thought and this afternoon my thick skull finally realized why as the two of them were sitting in the Arcade Room plotting ther demise of Shane next week.  These two are convinced that Wil, who doesn't care for his coach Janelle, not his "teammates" Joe and Ashley, is going to vote out Joe so Joe will go home on a vote of 3-2.  The problem is I don't see it happening at all.  Wil doesn't care for Janelle or his teammates but he it worried about the Frank/Boogie combo so he wants to break that up.

That brings us to tonight's show.  I think Frank will be saying goodbye after a 3-2 vote with only Ian and Jenn voting to keep Frank.  Boogie will be furious and looking to get revenge, he has already stated that if Frank goes and he is offered a chance to enter the game he will.  Janelle and Britney both feel they have a better chance at the 500k than the 100k since they think they can play better games than their 'players' and Dan only has Danielle to coach so you'd think he would want in.

All in all it should be a very entertaining night and here comes the plea...  if you don't have the live feeds yet, tonight is the time to check them out - with the endurance HoH coming and the coaches in the game most likely - it should be a wild few days for sure.  So please - if you are going to try the feeds out - Support Big Brother Gossip and sign up for the Big Brother Live Feeds 3 day free trial via this link!!

We will do our best to update the site and keep our twitters up to date as well if you choose to live vicariously through us - but of course its much more interesting when you can see it for yourself and use Flashback to catch the things you might have missed!

See you later tonight!
