BB14: MMA Introduces Hurricane Britney Haynes

I take an afternoon off and find this waiting for me. 2:30 pm PST: Britney vs Ted...

Then she took out her frustration out on Dan, the real cause of her issues.

Teddy got one shot in, but like good sports, they made up in the end...

Then they kiss and make-up.

Oh and on a game level, looks like Joe, Frank and Shane made an F3 deal (yeah, okay) and it looks like Britney will be leaving Thursday. Ian and Shane talk around 6:23 pm, agreeing that they will work with Dan to get rid of Frank.

7:21 PM: Britney gets into it with Danielle. Britney calls her out about not being there for her and not talking to her. They are basically airing out their frustrations about being on the block together and having to campaign against each other. It's a stupid fight that is inevitable for two people who have been close in the game and now are at odds.

8:55 PM: Ian implies that Britney doesn't have the votes, even though he will be voting for her. She wants Ian to stay strong, get Frank out and win the game. She thanks him for telling her.

9:05 PM: Britney goes to Danielle that Ian told her that Danielle is staying. She wishes her good luck.

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.
