If you want a recap of the whole day's events and discussions, go to 12:43 am today, Cam 3/4, when the S-quad finally get together and compare the day's notes.
They concluded that Mike had fed the new Boogie Bots (Ashley and Jenn) the same lines to pitch to Shane. Britney pointed out that Mike even turned on the water works for 5 minutes to get her to feel badly for him, which she would have, had he not acted like a jerk the other 23 hours and 10 minutes. Her classic line of the night: He's a 42 year old man with a homemade Chill Town shirt. They dissect Mike's key points for putting Dan up, including Bachelor Partygate. They talk about the fact that Jenn will get a wake-up call this week as she watched Mike and Frank throw her under the bus repeatedly.
At the end of the day, as it stands, Jenn is going up today as the replacement nominee. This will come a surprise to Mike and Frank, because they seem to be convinced that they worked their magic to put Dan up. It will be interesting to see how Jenn handles the block which will finally take her out of the BB sidelines and into the forefront.
The PoV Ceremony usually happens around 11 am BBT. Mike and Frank are planning on being the last two to be in Shane's ear, so look for yet another repetition of the same pitch we heard all day Sunday.
It's 8:48 am, and Boogie has already started preaching to his Boogie Bots (Jenn and Ashley) about the importance of getting Dan out, his own integrity in the game, Danielle's need to become a "solo" player, etc. Jenn, the BB game expert, says that Dan has screwed up his game by being so out of sight yesterday. Ashley mocks that Dan's playing the sympathy card but ti backfired on him. The wake-up call will be even better.
When the Boogie Bots snuggle back into bed, they decide they won't be pushing it with Shane again today, as per their leader's request. Jenn thinks it's funny that they played Adele's Rumor Has it. It wasn't meant for you Jenn. Sorry. They decide that they want to work with Danielle and Britney. Jenn says she really likes Danielle and doesn't want her to be another Memphis. They plan a strategy on how to deal with Danielle, thinking that she will be devastated after today. They want to be there for her. Awe!
It's breakfast bowls and dreams in the kitchen with the Boogie Bots.
9:56 AM: Joe joins Mike and Frank outside. They don't confront him like they have planned. Instead they repeat the same case they've made against Dan. They ask him for a vote commitment and Joe says that he can't commit to anything until after the ceremony. They discuss the fact that Shane isn't committing to saying who he's putting up. Joe says Shane has made up his mind, but isn't saying. He tells them he went up to plead his case, adding that he thinks Shane will be putting Dan on the block... Mike's recycled spiel continues.
Button Boy leans on it. BB is trying to wake them up. Shane is still snoozing. Frank addresses the feedsters (10:18 am), but we've already heard it so, thanks, we're good!
Shortly after, Mike goes up to HoH, to recycle his pitch. Button boy has had enough. When the feeds return. He calls Dan a coward; he's controlling people; he's playing everybody; a vast majority want Dan gone; they understand Dan's power and shadiness; he talked with Danielle, because it will be "better for her without him here"; he hopes Shane knows he's being genuine; he wants to be friends after; he wants to help him... He's pulling out all the stops. His whole pitch is based on Dan being responsible for these nominations when he isn't.
He ends the conversation, going outside to celebrate with Frank. Ian is pretending to celebrate too. Mike tells Frank to get Shane right before the ceremony.
10:50 AM: Frank goes up to pitch it yet again. Our best bet going forward is working together and the best way to prove it is to put Dan up. Shane, don't talk with your mouth full. The distrust of Dan comes up again. He's latest argument is that Dan told him goodnight, and he used to tell Jerry goodnight too, so of course that's shady...*eye roll* He says that because he's a "straight shooter", he's rubbing off on Mike. Shane plays along.
11:00 AM: Frank is called to DR. Trivia!!
11:52 AM: Feeds back Jenn has been nominated. Jenn is pizzed! Britney went to get her to HoH so Shane could talk to her. Jenn passed right by her, not acknowledging her. Britney takes her into the Arcade. She tells Jenn she had nothing to do with this. She tells her that she has her vote and that Shane wants to talk to her. She passes saying she won't be saying anything pleasant. They break it off.
Ian takes her to the Arcade to see if she's okay. She says she's "fucking pissed off". Ian says she's been scumbaged. She is blaming Dan for being nominated. She goes upstairs anyway.
Shane tells her that it was in his best interest to put her up because she is Boogie's team mate. She says that she isn't on his team and that he wanted to trade her. (Listen to your own words Jenn.) Shane says he's heard that she's been doing his dirty work for him. Shane doesn't right out tell her that she's safe and that she needs to campaign for the vote. He tells her the main reasons he put her up is that her relationship with Boogie is closer than Ian's and that she has been campaigning to keep Boogie. Shane says that anything he would do would have put a huge target on his back and Jenn says, "You sure did!"
Meanwhile, Mike is pissed. He wants to attack both Shane and Dan verbally. Frank says he will put both of them on the block. He says they got Ashley. As soon as Jenn comes in they stop talking. She tells them about her conversation with Shane. Jenn honey... you're on the block with Mike. You're no longer working together. This isn't helping you. Ian comes in during this to glean more information, without anyone suspecting him. LOL
12:20 PM: Danielle and Ashley hide from the tension in the Arcade Room. Ashley says that Jenn is acting very crazy right now. Danielle comments that she needs to be nicer to people, asking why she is so mad at Dan. Danielle says she feels really badly for Jenn, saying she wanted Joe on the block (lie). Ashley says that she feels badly for Jenn and Shane, adding it can't be an easy position for him to be in. Danielle says she is worried that Jenn thinks that she betrayed her. "I still have her back." Ashley says that Jenn's pissed because she wasn't prepared. Ashley asks if Dan is okay; and Danielle says that he's upset at this situation. Britney comes in to tell them that the whole house is very awkward with Mike sitting in the living room, listening.
12:29 PM: Mike says why he would give them the runaround when he was planning on screwing them over. Shane says he wasn't supposed to tell them who he was nominated. Frank says that Shane insinuated it. Mike calls Shane "Dan's bitch"; and Frank says he's gunning for him. Shane keeps his cool saying he's good with his decision and to bring it on. Then awkward silence. Joe is at the counter. Jenn at the table. Please pass the salt.
Mike starts again saying it will be good for Team Boogie because Shane will be taking one of them to the finals because he won't be getting any votes in jury for "scumbagging" him. He laughs saying why hasn't his boy (Dan) stuck up for him because he has gotten Shane to do his dirty work. He and Frank keep baiting while Shane quietly washes dishes and Dan lies quietly on the sofa reading the bible. Joe is getting pissed because they keep attacking Shane.
They pull Joe into the Kicks room to ask him to roll with them and vote Jenn out. "They "have nothing to offer you." It's now all "we" when yesterday they wanted to call him out. Joe tells then he needs 24 hours, that he's shocked at this. Joe joins Shane in the kitchen, saying he is not a fan of the bullying. FYI, they are on Lock Down.
Mike and Frank go sit in the living room, where Dan is still trying to bait him. They only succeed in making themselves look like bullies and idiots. Ian is sitting there, pretending to be on their side but is really there for Dan. Mike asks Dan is going to ignore him all week. Dan says he's not ignoring him. Mike says he tips his hat to him. Dan says there's no need. Mike says he is holding no grudges in the real world but in the game he hates his guts. Mike says he doesn't hold any ill will toward him, that Dan is a great guy. Frank disagrees. Mike says he hopes that Dan will not do Ian any wrong. (Oh you have no idea...)
When the three of them are alone, Mike says, "Okay we did a good job disguising our alliance." He laughs. "Janelle is at home with a big dildo enjoy it. A nice Monday afternoon." (WHOA!) The bully squad - Frank, Mike and Jenn surround Dan on the couches; and Joe sits there to give him back-up. I have gained so much respect for Joe today. He's looking out for Dan and Shane while Britney and Danielle cower. Woman up, ladies! Mike has moved on to saying that Britney will probably enjoy final 4 and brings up the jury votes again. Jenn participates in this stupidity. Dan stays quiet.
1:10 PM: Mike asks Joe how he's enjoying this. Joe says that he doesn't like the bullying. He syas that he teaches his son not to bully, so he will stand up for it. Mike says that it's only bullying because Dan is not answering him, afraid he will be exposed as a liar. Frank says that they have been "lied to and scumbagged." Joe says that he gets that they are upset but they are taking it too far. Mike is saying that he's playing them by not saying anything. Dan refuses to play their games.
When Joe and Frank are alone, Joe tells him he could be hurting himself more than anything by doing this. Meanwhile, Ian and Jenn are badmouthing Joe, saying he is the one who ran to Shane "lying" about them.
1:20 PM: Joe goes up to HoH, fuming. He tells Shane that Frank, Mike and Jenn are out for blood; and Ian was cussing Shane out too. Dan comes up too. Joe asks why they can't draw a line in the sand, that he's tired of listening to them. Joe asks, "What's up with Ian? When did he turn into a dick?" Shane wonders where the girls are. Joe says they are scared to death. Joe is fired UP! Dan and Shane say that they have his back if he mixes it up. He tells them that Frank and Mike already pulled him in for his vote. He adds that's why he's not afraid to say what's on his mind because they will still kiss his ass. He informs them that F/M have Ashley in their pocket.
All this is happening because Shane didn't stick to the damn script! He ran his mouth to Frank and Mike, then to Jenn. He was supposed to be up front with them which he wasn't.
1:48 PM: Frank is campaigning for Britney's vote. Us, we, us we. He tells her she can "hide" in the group he can wrangle up. How condescending. He says that they are close to getting the 4 votes. Meanwhile, Danielle is having a break down because they don't think she's a competitor. Dan, who has had a bad couple of days with the terrible two, has to comfort her. The house is a pressure cooker and it's bringing out all her insecurities.
Joe joins Dan and Danielle, interrupting Danielle's tears. Britney joins the Ashley, Jenn and Ian outside, stopping the anger directed at Joe, Shane and Dan. Jenn is super pissed and says she will be going "kamikaze" on the house. Doo doo doo doo doo doo. Jenn honey, you need votes. You're clearly not the target. Chillax.
4:04 PM: Ian has done such a great job snowing "Team Boogie" that Frank tells him he will throw Ian the HoH so he can get rid of Shane...
This is going to be a long couple of days. We need to pace ourselves. I will add any updates that are relevant and important/new.
Stay tunned! :)

BB14: It's a Matter of Wil
As our story continues, deep in the jungle of BB, the hunters in power have trained their sights on Wil who refused to bow to the chief hunter's greatness.
As we saw in our last episode, Wil seemingly made a huge error in tactics by not promising Frank and Mike safety. Later, we learned through Britney that Wil came to her with a proposal to work together in hunting down the hunters next week. Britney took this proposal to her co-conspirator, Dan who not only seemed to ponder on this plan but to implement it by convincing Danielle that it is better to keep Wil this week (4:24 AM BBT). He also sowed the seeds that will ensure Frank's and Ian's peril in the coming weeks.
Before you gasp in surprise at this turn of events, let me remind you about Dan's master plan to go to the end with Mike. Eliminating Frank is the first step as he is the greatest roadblock in the way. Ian, has become a threat because he has positioned himself very well in the house. He isn't anyone's target at the moment; he is friendly with everyone, including Joe; and he is considered part of several alliances. Most importantly, Ian is a wild card. No one knows who he will truly stay loyal too; and he has proven more than capable in various challenges.
Meanwhile, Ashley is in a lot of pain, so much so that she couldn't even play in the Have/Have Not competition. This morning, she does not seem any better, yet she has times when she seems to move around okay. This has created controversy in the BB communities, questioning whether she is truly injured or she's using it as a strategy to get by. Either way, you would think that if a player is that injured, that production would take her to the hospital, or even remove her from the game. If the latter happens, that would be the second player to leave without being evicted during Frank's reign. Could this be a new BB curse?
Today, we're expecting the PoV competition with players chosen probably this morning. They seem to have finally gone on lock down after 8:00 am, prompting the speculation that they might be playing a night time PoV.
11:31 AM: Frank takes a moment to tell Mike that Wil told him, Janelle was Danielle's target from the beginning because of a conversation Wil had with Danielle before noms. Mike dismisses it as Danielle trying to be smart, but in reality, Danielle did want Janelle out before Dan sidetracked her with his desired noms. King Hunter has spoken. Let no other player be given credit for his machinations.
11:39 AM: Trivia. Time to pick players! Will be adding them under the banner when I know! :)
11:58 AM: Feeds back. Frank and Mike are talking about not trusting Wil. Mike says there's no doubt in his mind that Wil has to go. We'll see Mike. We'll see. Still no news on who's playing... Mike is secure in the "fact" that their alliance won't flip on them. He goes on to say that the house is full of weak players who don't know how to play the game, except him, Frank, Dan and Britney. His ego trip is massive. Will this portend his massive fall?
Mike asks Frank who of the four (Dan/Danielle/Britney/Shane) would he like to go first. Frank says Dan and Shane. Mike says that they can use Shane more to their advantage. They want to make at run at them soon, hoping that someone else gets rid of them. They go through each of their "uses" and plan on how to manipulate each player, planning their order of eviction. I shake my head.
Joe chose Ashley to play the PoV comp. Who chooses an injured person to play in a comp when there are other choices? SMH!
12:35 PM: Ian joins them and says it's weird Joe told Ashley to play in PoV. They ask Ian who he would put if he were to win HoH and Ian throws out Ashley's name. Talk turns to Joe's lack of competition skills. Mike tries to sell the BS alliance of the four of them (Frank, Mike, Jenn and Ian). Ian plays along. It will be interesting to see what he says to Dan and Brit later.
Talk turns to chit chat. Mike and Frank are pushing a Wil eviction and Ian is agreeing. Mike leaves and Frank keeps pushing Ian to say who he would take out, Ian sticks with safe answers. His language is getting very coarse right now. Weird.
1:37 PM: Ian is called to DR and so ends this discussion. Thankfully. It was disconcerting to see Ian morph into a likeness of Mike and Frank during this conversation; brash and swearing with bravado.
1:52 PM: Dan joins Frank in HoH. Frank says he feels good about the PoV that no one will use it. Frank thinks that Ashley won't be winning but even then she won't be using it because of a long talk he had with her. Talk turns to the Have/Have Not comp... Interesting to note, Dan has not given away anything about his discussion with Britney, but we already know he has ulterior motives.
Fishy shenanigans: Every time anyone mentions a night time comp, we get fished. Hmmmm, could this be a clue? Better get your nap ons! ;)
2:16 PM: Britney recounts what she heard last night in the Have Not room...umm... Joe was umm... yeah Brit's recounting is hilarious. DR immediately calls her in... I wonder why... FUNNY!
Here it is in case you missed it! ;)
3:36 PM: All quiet in the house. No game talk.
6:15 PM: Britney goes up to wake Frank. They start talking about the upcoming PoV competiton being a night time. Talk turns to Wil. Britney comments that he's being pissy. Frank says that she was right, that he would be the right person to get rid of this week. Britney says she doesn't want to avoid him but he's being so snappy. She says the game makes her feel mean. They speculate about Double Eviction (see lexicon). Frank brings up about the Silent 6, saying they don't have to worry about breaking it up for a couple of weeks. The he slips up and says that they can't expect to get all the 6 to final six, then covers up by saying final 2. Britney does not comment on it. They agree that the house is more peaceful with Janelle gone. Talk turns to chit chat.
6:48 PM: ZINGBOT!!! And Trivia
8:38 PM: Still Trivia
8:45: Feeds return. It looks like Wil won PoV, but not 100%
8:58 PM: At least we're on easy street... We don't have to worry about anything. Yup. Frank won PoV.
If there are nay game changing conversations tonight I will add them. As it stands, Frank and Mike will be keeping the nominations the same, but there are two days to change their minds, unless there's a Double Elimination this week...
Stay tuned! :)

2:50 PM: Joe talks to Ashley in the Arcade Room and asks her to please not change the nominations should she win the competition. The way that Ashley is sounding (dragging her words), I don't even think she is in a position to be competing. She apologizes to Joe about not telling him that she was voting Janelle off. She tells him that she couldn't trust Janelle because the latter was campaigning against Ashley when she was on the block. Joe pretends not to know about it.3:36 PM: All quiet in the house. No game talk.

BB14: Nothing to See Here
To sum up the evening, nothing much has changed. Janelle had a private and awkward talk with Danielle in HoH (from 8:24 PM on and on). Janelle was mostly trying to mend fences in the hope of staying in the house, interspersed with make-up talk and other banalities. It was a pointless discussion for Janelle as Danielle has no vote and little influence in the house now that her power is finished.
Danielle retold the story to Britney, Dan, Ian and Shane becoming more and more dramatic, embellishing Janelle's "rage" which was non-existent. This was more than likely a result of her frustration with the revelation of more of Janelle's story inconsistencies (lies) and the awkward position she finds herself in: namely having to comfort without confronting her target for eviction. Still, it was a little bizarre.
In breaking news, Britney and Danielle talked about taking each other to the end because women have never won sitting next to a guy (10:36 PM). Danielle told her that she was all in with the plan though she had already promised Shane to go to the end with him, while telling Dan that she's way closer to him than she is to Britney or Shane (around 3:03 AM). You've got to hand it to her, she's playing the game.
I will be adding this to the list of "alliances" in the left side bar. I can't keep track. It's a wonder they can. There are more alliances than brain cells in the BB house. It's become a fiasco of tangled agendas. It will be interesting to see which alliances survive in the coming weeks or even into next week.
The Tits Alliance headed by Wil, in their mind, have successfully negotiated an alliance with Mike and Frank. Wil told Frank that they were voting to keep him, adding that he will be going after Shane and Joe, not Frank(9:03 PM). This conversation was reported to Mike who said it would be a good idea to throw the HoH to Wil and get Shane out. Additionally, in an act of "solidarity", Frank told Britney about his conversation with Wil and his intent on targeting Shane.
Anyway, let's stick to this week,; all the little alliances, sub-alliances and non-alliances got together throughout the night and the end result is one: unless AGP intervenes, yet again, Janelle is set to leave the house on Thursday.
Speaking of tampering with the game, Janelle's fandom have already started petitions to Allison Grodner to save Janelle. At this rate, BB14 is going have 12 HGs still in the house by September 19.
And just as a little treat, I decided to put an image to my thoughts about this game:
If you're wondering why I haven't updated, nothing of significance has happened to stem the flow of Janelle's eviction.
Stay tuned! :)

BB14: It Lives!!
The plot's afoot! The script is turning. Deep in the heart of Studio City, under perpetually sunny skies, a sinister plot is hatching. Dr. Boogiestein, fuming with rage has hatched a plot to save his creation, Frank.
Last night, around 8:50 pm, Dr. Boogiestein lured the reigning Queen's Handmaiden, Britney, into his lair, wooing her with the promise of a mighty alliance that would wipe out all the peasants in the land beginning with his arch-nemesis and their leader, Janelle. Satisfied that he had the handmaiden's approval of this plan, he scuttled upstairs to gain an audience with Queen Danielle at 10:11 pm to put his diabolical persuasive powers to work, appealing to the Queen's prowess and already established distrust of Janelle.
He worked steadily throughout the night, bringing the Queen's most trusted Adviser in to discuss this devious plot. Dan-san was not happy with this but quickly found himself outnumbered as the Prince Consort, Shane was also tempted with the promise of annihilating all resistance by removing it's leader, Janelle.
Throughout the night, after the notorious doctor left the Queen's inner chamber, her court gathered to discuss this new development. The Queen has been convinced to rid the Queendom of the most hated Janelle. The Prince Consort, the Handmaiden and even the Royal Puppy supported the Queen's decision to save Dr. Boogiestein's creation Frank from execution and put Janelle in his place. The Queen's Chief Adviser is not happy with this, attempting to change her mind; but alas. it seems her mind is set.
Will Dan-san succeed in convincing the Queen? Has Dr. Boogiestein's master plan worked to eliminate the Leader of the Resistance, and the Queen's desired target? What will happen today? Will this new plot backfire? Will Dr Boogiestein's protegee, Frank, live to see another week?
ANALYSIS:
Not really relevant to game, I'd like to take the time to voice my deep concern about Frank's and Mike's attitude towards women in this game referring to them in very demeaning and dismissive ways. This is not making me want to root for them in any way, no matter how many smart moves they make, no matter how many competitions they win, no matter how many promises they keep. I would qualify that I think Frank is adjusting his words and attitude to fit in with Mike's. It doesn't excuse it, but it explains it. It doesn't impress me either way.
It actually makes me sick how women can't seem to get their shizz together to work as a team against the men. Thus far, only women have been evicted (Willie doesn't even count) and if this plan goes through, yet another woman will be. Though Britney and Danielle have been close in the house and there for each other, not once have they even considered taking each other to the end. Last night (12:35 am), Danielle and Shane confirmed their final 2 deal, while Britney, knowing she is low woman on the totem pole, started forging a side alliance of her own with Ian (1:17 am).
I don't believe that Danielle's reasoning for evicting Janelle is personal, like Dan and many fans are saying. Janelle's behavior has been far from trustworthy, and her behavior toward Danielle has not inspired confidence in the latter. It doesn't help that every 10 minutes someone comes to Danielle, telling her yet another lie Janelle has told. Danielle knows that she can't trust Mike or Frank, but her reasoning that Janelle has more HGs on her side is more sound at this point.
As far as Dan is concerned, I have to admit, my jaw dropped with his almost blind need to ally with Boogie to the detriment of the people he's been working with thus far. In his mind, he probably correctly surmises that he has better chances winning sitting next to Mike, but greater than sitting next to Britney? He is pushing to get Frank evicted but this is not for the safety of his alliance members, it's to ensure that Mike works with him in the future.
At this point, everything is still up in the air with so many factors that can play out in the next 24 hours changing the direction of the game yet again.
3:03 PM: Britney, Danielle, Dan meet in HoH. The plan to get Frank out back on. There are four reasons for this latest change: 1- Ian told Britney that they indeed they were planning on backdooring Shane last week. 2- Britney and Dan think that Mike will be less powerful without Frank. 3- Janelle is not trustworthy but she hasn't struck against them yet. 4- DR has been all over them as admitted by Danielle and Britney.
Dan says he doesn't trust either Mike or Janelle but Mike's second (Frank) is more powerful than Janelle's (Ashley). Danielle wishes she knew where Janelle stands because her behavior hasn't been consistent. Her prime worry is that Janelle will go against her and Shane next week. Dan and Britney don't think it would happen so soon.
Mike comes up about 30 minutes later, and starts his pitch again. He tells them he's trying to assemble the people of "value". He says there is no reason for him to roll with people who have not proven themselves in the game. Shane asks Mike what would prevent him from turning around, rallying the votes and keeping Janelle. Mike says that he has no interest with working in Janelle who's been dragging his name through the mud since day one. He expresses his disdain for her.
Shane brings up the fact that he and Frank were planning on gunning for Shane this week should things happened how it was going. Mike does not address it. They float the idea of taking Wil down instead of Frank so as not to expose their deal. Mike says that it's not ideal but if that's how they want to do it, it's okay to. He adds that he really wants to work with them. Maybe I'm misted too, but he seems sincere.
Britney comes back and Mike tells her about the amended proposal of keeping Frank on the block and replacing Wil with Janelle. Britney flat out tells him that she's worried about him, whether he's gonna roll with him against them. Mike says that he wants to roll with them and repeats that he's said to the other 3. Britney brings up the fact that he and Frank were plotting on getting Shane out this week. Mike denies it calling the people who told her this liars. He adds that they lied to him for a fact, but they need to wipe the slate clean and start from here. Britney brings up the fact that he and Frank offered to work with Wil; and he explains by saying they were trying to secure his vote last week.
When he leaves, Britney is vocal about not buying what Mike is saying. She brings up the fact that he did not own up to conspiring against Shane. She also brings up that she doesn't trust Mike's conviction that he will only work with them if Frank stays. Dan concurs that he doesn't trust Mike. Britney adds that they have ties on both sides of the house and she does not trust that they would be solid with them. Britney says that Janelle would go after Shane, but not yet. Sometimes when people hate each other, that's when they make an alliance that no one suspects. Britney is adamant about not buying anything Mike has said. She drives the nail in the coffin that Mike was good enough to convince her and Shane to put up two of Janelle's players while plotting to take Shane out.
4:20 PM: The four decide finally to keep the nominations the same. They say it's done. No going back. We will see. Dan tells Danielle she was misted by Mike. Danielle says that he had so many facts. Britney counters that she needs to fact check.
Enter Janelle. She asks what's going on and they tell her that Mike is trying to save Frank. Talk turns to the need for Frank to go home. Britney says "we sent Playmate of the Year and sent home Frank the Tank." Janelle maintains that she wanted Frank gone from week one, which did for half that week at least.
Stay tuned! :)
Last night, around 8:50 pm, Dr. Boogiestein lured the reigning Queen's Handmaiden, Britney, into his lair, wooing her with the promise of a mighty alliance that would wipe out all the peasants in the land beginning with his arch-nemesis and their leader, Janelle. Satisfied that he had the handmaiden's approval of this plan, he scuttled upstairs to gain an audience with Queen Danielle at 10:11 pm to put his diabolical persuasive powers to work, appealing to the Queen's prowess and already established distrust of Janelle.
He worked steadily throughout the night, bringing the Queen's most trusted Adviser in to discuss this devious plot. Dan-san was not happy with this but quickly found himself outnumbered as the Prince Consort, Shane was also tempted with the promise of annihilating all resistance by removing it's leader, Janelle.
Throughout the night, after the notorious doctor left the Queen's inner chamber, her court gathered to discuss this new development. The Queen has been convinced to rid the Queendom of the most hated Janelle. The Prince Consort, the Handmaiden and even the Royal Puppy supported the Queen's decision to save Dr. Boogiestein's creation Frank from execution and put Janelle in his place. The Queen's Chief Adviser is not happy with this, attempting to change her mind; but alas. it seems her mind is set.
Will Dan-san succeed in convincing the Queen? Has Dr. Boogiestein's master plan worked to eliminate the Leader of the Resistance, and the Queen's desired target? What will happen today? Will this new plot backfire? Will Dr Boogiestein's protegee, Frank, live to see another week?

BB14: Shenanigans Are Fun
As you know, Shane nominated Joe and Ashley in a last minute change of mind that threw Danielle for a loop. This is a result of Mike's masterful maneuver to make sure he and Frank were the last ones to get in Shane's ear before the nomination ceremony. Fresh with the promises of a deal with Frank and Mike, he threw up two of Janelle's players on the block which brought Joe and Wil into a tailspin of reactions, none very flattering. They scrambled to the one person they thought would help them this week: Danielle.
Many have asked why the feeds are following Danielle all of a sudden. The answer is clear: hers is potentially the most important vote this week, especially should one of Janelle's players be saved from the block. This was the prime reason Danielle was upset at Shane's last minute decision to switch up the nominations: she needed this position to make some deals on her own, a fact that was discussed in the meetings with Shane, Britney and Dan. Shane reassured her that, no matter what, she will be safe next week as Frank expressed a desire to work with her as well. On the flip side, Janelle's team have no idea she's working with Shane, thinking that she hangs out with him because she's crushing and believing that they can manipulate her. They're in for a rude awakening.
Discussing game, at this point is useless, because everything might change after the PoV winner is determined, so while we wait for that, I decided to make this a Shenanigans fun day. Feel free to add your ideas in the comment section. Ready? Here we go:
STOP THAT:
If I were in the Control Room I would press "Stop That" every time:
1-Janelle mentions BB6 or All Stars
2-Mike refers to Chill Town
3-Danielle puts herself down
4-Joe talks
5-Will flips his hair
BB VOICE:
I would add the following instructions:
1-Joe, please never exchange your batteries
2-Jenn, make a move
3-Ashley, wake up
4-Dan, change your shirt
5-Ian, get a hug from someone
AGP SUGGESTION BOX:
1-Stop asking us to vote on decisions you've already made.
2-Stop blocking the feeds to hide production secrets that aren't secrets. Have you met Jim Early?
3-Stop blocking the feeds to plug sales for BBAD. It's uncool and transparent.
4-Stop mixing vets with newbies already!
5-Get new psychologists/psychiatrists and listen to them.
That's it for now! But I'm working on a special treat for later, and of course I will give my five cents on the events after the PoV competition.
Here's my treat! :)
2:05 PM BBT: Trivia. PoV Comp starting. Let the games begin!
Willie fans! If you missed the live interview with Missyae and Willie Hantz tonight check out Big Brother Whispers for a transcript. The questions were awesome and the answers were surprising :)
4:17 PM BBT: Feeds back. Shane rivals Crazy James' record with 3 PoVs straight! Let the scrambling begin!
4:57PM BBT: In breaking news, Janelle is bartering her wedding ring and earrings for safety... Shane says that Dan is also a threat, implying he could put up Danielle.... Bluff or betrayal?
5:23 PM BBT: Mike to Britney in HoH after she fills him in on Team Janelle's spiel. Why would I leave a relationship with Shane who's won 3 PoVs and 1 HoH to go with Ashley and Wil? Makes sense to me...
5:31PM BBT: Joe: I have a problem kissing ass... Frank: I don't know about that you gave them breakfast... Joe: The Dr asked me to as par t of the.. (Flipper intervenes)
In a nutshell, Frank, Shane and Danielle have formed an alliance. Shane won't be using the PoV. Joe has cooked his BB chances. But as you know, things always change :)
Sushi Party! 9:00 PM
They are each taking turns saying what pleasantly surprised them about someone in the house. It's a very pleasant oasis from the madness. Meanwhile, inside the madness continues...
Stay tuned! :)
