Still waiting on the POV competition.

Have to tell you - today has been QUIET.  They picked players for the POV hours ago and nothing has happened yet.  We did get a quick view of them setting up the POV competition in the backyard earlier today.

Playing in the POV will be Frank, Wil, Joe, Jenn, Boogie, Ashley and Shane.  There are 7 playing because Shane has the POV pass from last week.

Ashley was really sore this morning but now in the early evening she is looking much better so I am wondering if they are waiting as long as possible so she feels better.  Another theory is that this may be a late-night competition.  Can't tell anything from the quick image of the backyard which to me looks like shuffle boards sitting side by side.

We have a podcast at 10pm Eastern tonight - you can listen live here http://www.ustream.tv/channel/paulisded

Thats it for now!

Nominations are in. Have Nots too.

Frank has put up Joe and Wil.  I think Frank and Boogie are actually looking to get Wil out.

Before the nominations the Have Not competition was held and some details are a bit fuzzy but I do know that Shane, Danielle, Joe and Britney are have nots.  It seems like it was a repeated competition - involving moving liquid from small pools to bottles by soaking the liquid up and then squeezing it back out.  Britney commented on the costumes resembling lemons.

The Have Nots also get Candy Canes and Cod to eat this weak.  I hate the food thing, its just a stupid excuse to 'involve' America.

Joe really ticked off Britney and Danielle by yelling at them during the competition.  One reason I feel Franks and Boogie want to get Wil out is they discussed telling Joe to tone it down so as not to put such a huge target on himself.

One other note - Ashley has been in a ton of pain all day and has received more cortizone injections in her right hip area.  She's had difficulty walking today and didn't participate in the have not competition.  She's had issues since the first week.  Some really desperate fans hoped Janelle would come in and Ashley would go home - sorry guys - Janelle is already home according to a tweet tonight.

Going.. going..... and DR leak.

Ok people's - Janelle is going. Give up all hope Janelle fans.  It will be 8-1 most likely with Joe being the only vote to save.  On the right we see her laying in the HoH bathroom during todays lockdown - to me that look says she knows she is going - or suspects it.

This will be short as all will change in about 3 hours with a new HoH.

There was a diary room leak at 10:09am this morning - you can hear it on cams 3/4.  The feeds cut before we heard it all but Boogie told Frank what happend later in the afternoon.  Dan was called to the DR and then......

Boogie, "I heard Jordan (a production assistant in the DR I assume) goes to Dan, 'Hey buddy! So the silent six' "

Frank, "No Way"

Boogie, "It was like, cutoff right on the 'siiii' and every..." (feeds cut)

So it sounds like the HGs that don't know about the 'silent six' may not have understood the reference - but it is still something to keep an eye out for and Joe made a comment to Dan afterwards about the 'nice diary room' thing (but Joe was half or all the way asleep when it happend).

Either way as was said at 10:24 am,

Boogie, "...figure that shit out you know?"

Frank, "Thats twice now..."

Wil, "What?"

Boogie, "The f'n blasting the diaries.. like figure that s*t out yo..." (blasting = broadcasting)

Jenn, "Get your buttons in order" (production)

Boogie, "... 13 years..."  (feeds cut)

It really is dissapointing that someone's game could be ruined by a mistake by production.  In this case I dont' think it has been but we'll have to watch the feeds closely to see if anyone that heard the comments that isn't a member of the 'silent six' thinks Dan is up to something.

Janelle may suspect - but no one is telling her.

Frank just told Mike Boogie that he thinks Janelle may suspect she is going home because she apologized to him and complimented his social game.  Boogie replied that he thinks she may be 'sandbagging' him.

I think Janelle is starting to get suspicious because Frank isn't acting worried and everyone keeps telling her she is safe (or most do).  Dan was feeling a bit guilty this afternoon after Janelle cornered him and suggested to Boogie that maybe they should tell her later tonight.  Boogie said it is agains the rules to tell a HG how you are voting.  That is a rule they seldom follow, Boogie was just being difficult to make the point to Dan that he wants Janelle to be surprised.

Joe, the next one to go most likely at this rate, has been tryign to firm up alliances - of which he has none.  Expect to see him nominated no matter who wins HoH (unless it is him) and head out the door next week unless he saves himself with the POV - but thats probably looking too far ahead.

Tuesday Thoughts

So far today - just after dinner - there hasn't been any major game things going on - Janelle has been talking to people and is being told she is ok - in other words everyone is lying to her.  Right now Janelle is sort of grilling Wil because Joe has told her that Wil was ratting her out (but she is telling Wil that her suspicions are based on something Danielle told her). Janelle just said there may be a big alliance in the house she doesn't know about - and she would be right of course.

Thats how the entire day is going - its a lot of double talk between various house guest.  They will have a conversation with one person and then recount it - in a slightly altered way to another.

I just thought I'd toss up this post to let you know, things are about the same overall - Jannelle is still going at this point.  Dan and Britney have discussed possibly telling Janelle she is going - that may end up biting them in the butt if any of the other HGs end up feeling betrayed by that and decide to throw a wrench in the works and vote Frank out.  I honestly don't think it is going to happen but never say never.

So a few things for those watching the feeds as opposed to just living them through us.

Remember to download your music!  I need to get my second $10 coupon and download it so I can get a 3rd in September.  Canadian viewers - sorry you don't get that option :(

Have you tried the different ways to watch the feeds?  I use my iPhone and I also have been using the little web launcher to watch the feeds - it controls one camera and launches is in a window - I've only tested it on WinXP and Win7 so your mileage may vary and of course you need a live feed subscription to use it.  To try it out click this link and then resize the window (you may beed to right click and choose to open it in a new window if you use tabbed browsing).

Finally there are a couple 3rd party viewers out there - you STILL need a subscription but you can find links on the following pages (these are suggested with no support from me! If you can't figure them out - stick with Real's viewer!):

BBViewer - this is similar to my favorite viewer that is still not available this year, BBLite - it cant do screen caps but as a viewer it does ok.  You will need adobe air to run it and it SHOULD work on Microsoft, Mac and even linux.  Current link to a recent download version here

B3V Big Brother Feed Viewer - lots of options - not all working yet but still another option to Real's player.  Web site with info and download here.
