I need to get this off my chest. What is up with all the FISH on the feeds? Last night, I accidentally started calling them fish not feeds. Every time anyone remotely talks about production, BOOM, we're swimming in them. While it's a pretty fish tank and cute fish, I didn't get the feeds because I'm a marine biologist. Like everyone, I got the feeds because I'm curious, need to know, and an avid fan of Big Brother.
AGP needs to understand one thing. There are no secrets in the BB world. Between reliable insiders, and avid fans who have their eyes open for leaks, those who want to, can know exactly what production is up to. And so what? This isn't National security that should be guarded vigilantly. This is a reality show which many of us love enough to buy the feeds AND watch the show, despite all the things we know before the premiere even airs.
So why interrupt our experience with fish? Do you think we don't know that the houseguests go into DR and talk about things related to the game, sometimes being helped to see different strategies and possibilities? Do you think we don't know that mentors/vets/coaches whatever you want to label them get a heads up, inside information and a boost to keep them in the game longer because it's all about ratings? Do think we don't know that 2 more mentors will be added to the game? We follow Jim Early!
Come on. We're not naive. This is a show to make money and generate ratings. We who buy the feeds are your hard-core fans. We know who is nominated, who won PoV, who is on the block after the PoV ceremony; yet we still watch because to us, the feeds, the show, the spoilers, the buzz and the community are all important parts of the BB experience! So you won't lose ratings because you happened to show Janelle and Britney talking about the possibility that the coaches will enter the game as players at some point. We figured it out, thank you. So can you please let us watch the feeds, uninterrupted unless some sacred music copyright is violated? Your fish are nice but whether you want to call them house guests or not, they're not the houseguests we want to see.
Sincerely, one of your many fans.
Now ON to the game:
Game Talk & Strategy
3:10 PM BBT: Danielle makes her pitch to Willie assuring him that Kara isn't after him or anyone from his team. They're after Boogie's team. She also tells him that Dan isn't a threat to him, whereas Frank has said several times that he was gunning for them. During this conversation, Britney comes in a couple of times acting all paranoid.
This is confirmed at around 3:54PM BBT when Britney confronts Willie about his conversation with Kara. Willie insists that it's nothing to worry about. He tells her about Danielle telling him about Frank gunning for him in a couple of weeks, but he thinks that's hilarious because it gives him two weeks immunity. He boasts that they would be idiots not to get rid of him (Willie) next week. Britney can't stand Danielle and calls her Dan's zombie. She's concerned that Shane, JoJo, Danielle and Dan made a deal. Willie says he doesn't believe it.
Britney is losing patience with Willie because he gives too much information (telling Danielle that they were onto her for pilling up the coins during the Veto competition for Kara) and that he sells keeping Frank to the others in their and Janelle's teams with Frank's promise of safety for Willie. She emphasizes that he needs to sell them with what Frank will do for them. Willie finally gets the picture and agrees with Britney.
8:50 PM BBT- Danielle and Britney have a good heart to heart where Danielle asks Brit some hard hitting questions about Brit's Season 12 experience, including how she came off as a mean girl, her interaction with Rachel and Lane in and out of the house, how she dealt with her relationships both past and current while being in the house. This seems to be a straightforward conversation with Danielle asking some great questions and Brit answering honestly like a good coach. We find out later, during her conversation with Janelle in HoH, this wasn't so. Britney was annoyed with Danielle and her questions. Le sigh.
Meanwhile, up on the HoH landing, Joe has been trying hard to convince Janelle that Frank is a threat and seems to making headway... questioning why Frank would go against his coach... that keeping someone like Frank in the game is dangerous. This goes back and forth with Janelle not seeming to budge, when Janelle makes this statement around 9:55 PM BBT - Janelle: My gut instinct says get rid of Frank .Bam! Finally it seems that Janelle has seen the light, but then proceeds to say that Dan is the threat.... Joe counters with Kara isn't a threat... whereas Frank is. This waffling goes on and on.
Until we get the inside scoop around 10:40 PM BBT when Janelle and Brit have a summit. Frank or Kara? Janelle is now leaning towards Frank but Brit is still pushing to weaken Dan... They go back to speculating about the coaches entering the game. Brit brings up her convo with Danielle and how annoying her questions were, that she doesn't want to talk about Rachel or Lane... Then they go back to talking about the twist half way through the season. This whole conversation is almost constantly being interrupted by the above mentioned BB fish situation. Ladies, can you stick to a decision or even a topic for conversation? It's hard analyzing this game under these circumstances! ;)
Shenanigans
Willie decided to tell everyone about his Hantziness before his HoH reign is over, telling Frank and Wil who was clueless about Survivor or the Hantzes (How dare he?).Britney, Dan and some other houseguests decided to prep Ian for their version of The Bachelor. I love this internetwork show idea! :) It's fun and I'm all for it if it integrates poor Ian into the rest of the group.
Today's Events
Expect the PoV nomination ceremony to happen today. I guess there will last minute scrambling but it's almost 101% sure that Shane will not use the Veto. How can he within the consrictions of this Coaches nonsense?That's it for now! Stay Tuned! :)
