8pm So tonight has been pretty quiet – as I type this Lydia is talking to Kevin and she says Braden is ’so’ gone.  Discussed several times by Lydia was an incident last night where Braden tried to kiss her and she seems bothered by it still – so she seems to be happy to see him gone over Chima – perhaps things may still change before Thursday.

Other than that they have been working out and getting cleaned up – seems to me some have been grooming for tonights Big Brother After Dark that will kick in around an hour from now.  Casey, Kevin, Laura and Russel all worked out.  Michelle and Lydia made themselves up.

6:15pm I just finished watching tonight’s show.  As expected it ended with the nominations.  The only part that we have seen on the feeds was the bikini contest that actually took place AFTER nominations but appeared to before noms by the power of editing.  Casey, Kevin and Laura were just power walking in the back yard.

3:50pm Big Brother Scoop on twitter is reporting that the POV contest will be shown tonight.  That means they will have nominations and the POV comp on one show – plus a food comp or whatever kind of comp put the Brains in the bad bedroom and some of the others on slop and cold water.

2:25pm Hard to believe – but Natalie, Jesse and Russell are at the very least thinking about trying to work a deal with Braden to keep him in the house.  If you are every in a room with Ronnie and one other person – just know if you leave Ronnie will immediatly talk game with the other person – the guy never stops.

Braden assumes he is going home while talking with Jeff.  Jeff feels he won’t last very long either.

2pm Confirmed now from a convo between Kevin and Casey – Braden is now on the block and Lydia is safe.  Meanwhile Ronnie is still trying to divert suspicion that he was the one to let Braden know (via Jordan).  Ronnie told Russell he thinks it was Laura.

Talking now to Natalie and Jesse, Russell says he hates ‘rats.’ They may plant some stories to test people – Michele is one person they suspect as well as possibly Laura.

1:50pm Feeds were off for about an hour.  I assume for the POV ceremony.  Waiting to confirm it took place and that Braden is now on the block as was expected.

11:30am No change still.  Natalie did talk to Russell in the storage room and suggest putting up Jordan instead of Braden but Russell wanted none of it.  So for now the plan is still to save Lydia and put up Braden.

11:15am No news yet. Some HGs sit outside waiting while in the workout room Jesse and Natalie plot their strategy and discuss having Russell save Chima instead of Natalie. They feel very confident in their current situation.

10:30am HGs are up and about. Not sure if the POV ceremony will he held today or Monday. Apparently they have been instructed to be ‘camera ready’ in about 30 minutes. So something might be going on.

7am The Brig Brother HGs are sleeping soundly. Chima was the last one to head off to bed. At the moment the alliances are in a bit of a shambles in my opinion. What I said a couple days ago about their being 2 pretty distinct groups isn’t really the case now – but Jesse’s group is definitly the strongest with those from the other group sort of splintered.

I actually think if Jeff wasn’t safe from eviction as part of the ‘athletes’ he would be the one leaving the house this week.

I am not sure if the POV ceremony will be held today. The show tonight (8pm) will not show ANYTHING we have seen so far – it will end at nominations which took place on Thursday before the live feeds kicked in. As of right now – Russell is planning on using the POV to save Lydia and Braden will be put up by Jesse in her place – however that could change as the house is still pretty unstable.

12:30-4am I read back through the rest of the night and really there was not much missed as far as ‘gameplay.’  Lydia was playing around with Natalie a lot – its very apparent she has been buddy buddy with them.  But no changes went on unlike last night where Lydia suddenly was ’saved’ and Braden ended up being in trouble.

12:30am Here is a great chance to use Flashback in Realplayer to catch up on things you miss. I just did this myself. About 12:10am Jeff had a ‘talk’ with several HGs about how things were decided and why he has been the way he has in the house. Below is a screen cap of the flashback player of the quad cam at about 12:10am.
