BB14: Fun Wil and JoJo Meltdown Rumor

Okay, I have to say, if Wil keeps this up I might be rooting for him!

Too funny!

As of 10:05 am bbt, the rumor mill has started again. Word of JoJo having a massive meltdown during the first HoH comp and losing it on production because of the Mentors, which resulted in her being ejected from the house, is spreading. Truth? We don't know. The rumor mill is maintaining that it will all make the premiere on July 12th.

If this is true, JoJo has managed to swipe the Most Disappointing HG crown from Chima. The chances are, however, that is is not true at all. This season has started off with so much excitement and speculation even before the premiere or the feeds go live. CBS is laughing all the way to the bank...

1:10pm BBT: This came in from Jojo Spatafora's twitter account which her family is allegedly running (Thanks Michelle!) @JojoSpatafora Yes it's true, Jo is no longer apart of Big Brother. We would like to thank everyone for the support during her short time on CBS. Thank you

Well, what do you know? Not much as it seems, until Thursday. Is this twitter account fake or real? It was started 5 days ago, so it could very well be that her family started it. We will keep digging! As of 2:05 pm BBT... @JoJoSpatafora twitter account was deleted...

Gotta love it! Fake tweets, fake twitter accounts, fake ejections, fake "insider" info. Or not... Let the games begin!

Stay tuned!

Big Brother Lexicon

There are certain terms that have been used in the course of this show that should be clarified. Here is a list:

Team America: Yet Another tool for production to manipulate the game. Three players will be placed in alliance by "America" and will be given tasks that apparently will change the game. So far, it didn't change Joey's game, first member of Team America slated to be evicted first.

Battle of the Block: The 2 nominees of each of the 2 HoHs will battle each other. The winner duo save themselves and dethrone the HoH who nominated them, throwing them back out of power at risk of being a renom.

AGP: Allison Grodner of Fly on the Wall Productions which is the company that has been hired by CBS to produce the show.

PoV: Power of Veto. This allows the holder to save one of the nominations for eviction. The last PoV of the game is the most powerful, as it determines who will be evicted.

HoH: Head of Household. Along with getting a primo suite, a letter from home, pictures and treats, this person decides who will be nominated and renominated should the veto be used.

Floater: This term is often misused. A "floaters" strategy is legitimate way to get through and win the game. A prime example of this is Jun Song (BB4). This strategy allows the player to switch alliances when necessary, win when necessary, but always work under the wire. It doesn't mean just going with the power in the house (let's call those floppers). It means manipulating the house, ergo having the power. In later years, the term has been misused for players who do not make any moves in the game but work for whoever has the power.

Backdoor: This strategy is used when the true target for eviction is not initially nominated, does not get a chance to play PoV, is subsequently nominated and evicted.

Blindside: When a player is evicted without even suspecting that he/she is the target.

Pawn: This is a person who is nominated but is part of the HoH's alliance and is used as a decoy, to ensure that the other person nominated gets evicted. It has often happened that the pawn has been blindsided.

America's Player: This is a player in the game, chosen by the viewing public, who is told how to act and vote in the house. They do this for a separate monetary reward.

Fast Forward: When there are two evictions in one week. Typically they tape an eviction on Tuesday followed by a quickie HoH. They have nominations later that night, followed by a PoV competition and PoV ceremony the next day. The second eviction and HoH comp for that week happens live on Thursday.

Double Eviction: On the live show on Thursday, there is an eviction (sometimes pre-taped), followed by a quick HoH comp, immediate nominations, a PoV competition, PoV Ceremony, followed by another Eviction, culminating in the second HoH comp which is usually a physical skill or Endurance.
