Ok - so BB is over - if you like other reality shows and are looking for links and info on them - please come back to the main page in a couple weeks - the rest of the year I try to keep that area updated with general info, casting info and links to other official/unofficial sites.  I go into no where near the detail I do with BB but I usually try to mention what has happened on the most popular shows each day and post any reality news I find interesting. 

Thanks to everyone that e-mailed me their appreciation - I think I responded to all of you but if not - please consider this my thanks :)  -  Unlike other sites that ask for 'donations' - this site has more than paid for itself with the advertising - which means you come by enough that I am motivated to keep the site up to date as best I can :)   For those that missed it - here is a page about me.  Thanks again and assuming there really will be a BB6 - I will be keeping track again :)

-Mike (aka 'Ryn' on tvclubhouse.com)

9/21/04  9pm  Well the show is over for everyone in the continental USA now - I enjoyed the final show but was a bit dissapointed in a couple things....  they made it seem like they didn't know the votes - but it was obvious they did since they rigged the way people voted (the order) - If they had voted in the order they were evicted it still would have been down to the last vote - which by the way was the closes vote in all BB so far.

I also felt Jase was a real horses ass on the show - he looked like he was just trying to mix things up and make a stir.  I also thought he had on a wee bit too much make-up.....  People have asked me who I wanted to win - I didn't really care but I can say there are several people I didn't want to win and Michael and Drew were not either of them :)  Congrats Drew!!!

5:20pm - I will not see the live show until 6pm BB time - just a brief update - the camera's switched to the fishcam for what is most likely the last time around 4:45pm.

2:30pm  Drew and Michael were just told some stuff by BB - they are very excited - something about 300 (they have actually said anywhere from two to five hundred) fans waiting outside and "no reunion show" - as in there will be no group discussion.  They are really fired up about it.  Michael says to Drew that they will walk out, kiss the ground and then high five everyone.  They think it might be the last season and they (BB) is going out with a bang.  But CBS is already advertising for BB6....

Drew and Michael all excited about the live show.

2:15pm  The guys are cleaning the house for tonight's show.

8:30am Welll... its the last day in the BB house - unless I missed something major its been a very quiet couple of days.  The guys were questioned by the jury but I really could not gleen much info as to how they will vote based on the guys discussions afterwards.  And as I recall during BB2 Will thought that SHannon was really mad at him and later it turned out all was well.  From the sounds of it Diane was not as mad as you might have thought being it was only 24 hours after she had been kicked out by him.

 

The poll shows that the majority of people think that Drew will win the game - I think he will as well and I think he played the better 'game' between himself and Michael.

6:30pm  Apparently the jury questions will be tonight - this won't be shown on the net unless things change this year.

8:30pm  Wow - I just watched tonights episode - I think Drew might have just locked it all up.  By voting out Diane he will have pleased several people in the jury who may feel she betrayed them.  No more competitions - nothing but the jury interviews to go for the guys.  Kinda cool to have 2 guys left when it was two women the last two years.

6pm  I am not sure who won HoH but I did see Diane was kicked out - I will update this in a bit - I need to watch the live show myself!!!  So its down to Drew or Michael.

4:30pm  Live show coming up shortly - I have no idea what kind of competition it will be between Drew and Michael - whomever wins will decide who leaves.  I suspect Drew will stay either way - and I guess we will see where Drew's true alliance is if he keeps Diane (if he wins) - Michael will most likely keep Drew if he wins - unless he heard Drew and Diane talking last night about making it to the final two - if he did he might decide to keep Diane - whom I am pretty sure he would beat in a vote.

Who caught the flipped burgers? 
Who won the first HOH treadmill? 
Who were the nominees that Adria put up when she was HOH?
Who won the prizes in the Christmas competition?

2:25pm  Nothing to report - no news on Part II yet - they are currently just playing cards.  I still think Part II will be tommorow - but maybe it will be later tonight.

Drew and Diane play cards - Michael in the bathroom.

11am HGs are just getting up for the day.

Rest of the night......  It really looks to me like Drew and Diane have the tighter alliance - either way I think Drew will be in the final two no matter who wins HoH.  Diane and Drew talk A LOT of strategy - Drew lets Diane do most of the talking it seems.   Drew and Michael talk very little - but when they do it is usually Michael doing the talking.  I think Drew has this thing locked up but you never can be positive with a grumpy Jury.  If it is between Drew and Diane Drew wins.

7:47pm  DIane is off - I guess she slipped....  Drew wins Part One.

Best shot I have of Diane stepping down.
 

Here you can see how the pedistals are now higher.

7:35pm  Both are still in it...  occasionally BB makes the pedistals they are standing on vibrate - they don't think it will last very long.

7:25pm  Drew and Diane conspire when Michael walks away - one of them will quit...  I think maybe Drew.  I heard Diane say something like she would promise to take him.

7:20pm  Michael is already out - sheesh....  Sounds like he was helping DIane with her hair for some reason and took his hand off the key.  YA NUMBSKULL!!!  Wonder how lond Drew and Diane will fight for it...  This is ONLY Part One - Michael will still compete in Part Two.  Diane said she feels terrible.

The HoH Competition:

6:45pm  Jennifer evicted by Michael.  Just waiting for the live show to end and the HoH competition to be shown.

1pm  As far as I can tell - no big news today - Michael has not tipped his hand as to whom he will be evicting on tonights live show.  We do anticipate a endurance competition as part one of a three part HoH competition.  So if you do not have the live feeds you might sign up for the free trial or tune back here as I plan on watching the feeds and updating this page.  I saw a VERY brief glimps of the backyard a minute ago and it looked like something big was being constructed in the backyard.

The HGs have been given a couple things to do today - some type of bead work set and materials to make candles......  they also have been informed that there will be an eviction tommorow.

9:35am HGs all sleeping.....

Later last night the only thing that really went on was Diane complaining to Drew about Jennifer.  She was really mad at her for all the stuff she said and I imagine she is concerned that Michael might decide to kick her (Diane) out tommorow.  They think they have 3 days until the eviction - I am betting BB tells them today or tommow that Diane and Jennifer need to pack their bags.

10:45pm - Diane is in bed - Drew and Michael not talking in the Living Room while it seems Jennifer is still in the Diary Room.

10:30pm  Things have settled down - now all we see is Michael playing cards alone.  Drew and Diane are off somewhere and Jennifer is in the Diary Room - somewhere I imagine she will be for a good long time.

10:15pm  Michael went in to talk to Drew - complaining about the position he was in - never saying he was still voting Jennifer out.  They talked for a good while - even talked of splitting the money 4 ways - then he left to find Jennifer who is in the Diary Room.  After he walked on Drew said to himself, "So sick of Cowboy too..."   (listen to Drew)

9:45 pm  now Jennifer and Michael are alone - Drew and Diane headed inside - Jennifer between sobs is trying to get Michael to not vote her out - she promises to take him to the final two and says he will win because she has screwed too many people over - Michael is not agreeing.  Jennifer sites bills, money for her sister and her sister's baby, all kinds of things.  She has also asked BB for a smoke - she just wants one, says she has not used the patch for ages.

9:30pm  Jennifer is having a break-down.  She thinks she is going home Thursday and is REALLY upset (and a little drunk I think).   I am planning on posting a bit of the audio later - she just said "This is Nakomis giving up F***ng hope"  - she is REALLY having a break down - and the others can only sit and listen.

2pm  It sounds to me like Michael will vote out Jennifer - one reason is because she has won 3 HoH competitions and Diane has never won one (correction - she did win it once - my bad!!).  Drew and Michael talk like they want to be the final two but its hard to tell if Drew would rather be in it with Diane or Michael.  Sounds like they are making the mosaic cement pads - something they have done in previous BB's. 

Michael won the POV competition late last night - SO he will decide who leaves between Diane and Jennifer on Tuesday.

9pm  NOTHING - thats what has basically happened today - the POV competition has not occured yet although it might be happening right now because for about the last 10 minutes all we have see in FISH.

1pm  Its been a quiet day - the HGs were all slow to get up - Diane and Drew didn't even get out of bed until after 12:30pm.  Drew said the POV competition will be tonight - so until then there won't be much of anything going on.  So hey you - reading this - get out and enjoy the weekend!!!.

10:20pm  The HGs spent a lot of the night modeling their clothes - not that they wanted to - but because BB wanted them too.  Currently Diane and Drew are in the HoH room - Diane has told Drew that she might kick out Michael if she wins POV.  She says Michael needs to win it - that way no one is ticked off at her or Drew if Jennifer gets kicked out.  She did re-promise Drew that she wanted him in the final two with her.  She is still convinced she can't win.

Drew points to Diane's heart telling her its the person in there he likes - because she has been complaining about her weight and other physical looks of late.

Diane relates that earlier Jennifer implied that she (Jennifer) will kick out Michael if she wins POV.  So DIane feels safe to make the final three.
 

7:15pm  I am pretty sure the nomination ceremony is over and Drew nominated DIane and Jennifer.  They are not talking about it since they discussed it beforehand and Diane and Jennifer both expected to be nominated.

2:30pm  Diane and Jennifer will most likely be nominated.  The plan by Drew and Diane and Michael is of course to evict Jennifer so if anyone but Jennifer wins the POV I would guess she is gone.  Diane is moaning and groaning about being nominated.

1pm  The HGs just completed a clothing luxury competition - so they have a lot of new duds to wear.  They apparently took turns destroying other HGs clothes as a way to earn time for their 'shopping spree.'  More details here.

10:30am  Hgs are just getting up and moving about - nothing to report.

All Drew did by winning the HoH this week is assure himself he is safe from eviction.  The winner of the POV holds all the power.  Only one person will not be nominated - that person chooses whom to evict.  If Drew wins POV he can re-shuffle his nominations.  Either of the two nominee's can save themselves and vote out whomever they like.  The non-nominated person will not and I guess technically can not use the POV because they would have to go up in the nominee's place.  Does your head hurt yet?

8:30pm  A few tidbits......  Diane told Michael she was trying to throw the HoH to let him win it.... Drew, Diane and Michael are already plotting....   Drew also has asked Michael to not allow Diane and Jennifer to talk to much, to get close to them if they are alone - Drew is paranoid that Diane might try to team up with Jennifer.

6pm Karen voted out 2-0 and Drew won HoH for the third time - locks up a final 3 spot.  There are only 4 episodes left of Big Brother 5.  The final show is Tuesday, September 21st.   According to Julie - next Tuesday will be a live veto ceremony and then an eviction.

>>need to fill this in later tonight<<

10:30am  - HGs were told to get up around 10:10am - Michael and Karen were already up.  Karen and Jennifer have talked a bit about tonight and how they think things will go - Karen still seems to have a tiny bit of hope to make it tonight.  Meanwhile still in bed - Diane and Drew are discussing the HoH competition - and how things could fall out.  Diane just told Drew that she knows he would win over everyone else that is left in the house (meaning win the 500k).  Diane does not think she can win.

9:50am  Hgs STILL sleeping.  I would expect a wake-up call in about 10 minutes.

8am  And all is quiet in the BB house.  Eventually they will be told to get out of bed and spend most of the day cleaning the house before the live show tonight.  At some point they will probably practice for the HoH competition.  Last year it was held in the living room and was a quiz-type competition - as I have said before - if BB does it the same way as last year - Jennifer will not participate.

3pm  Drew finished exercising, showered and was shaving while the others slept.  Then the cameras switched to all FISH - so not sure what is up....  most likely nothing terribly important.

1:45pm  Big Brother - give these people SOMETHING to do.......  all but Drew, who is on the treadmill, are settling down to nap...  Karen just said they are like old people in a retirement home. (click here to hear Karen and Diane).

10:45am  Hgs are up - not much to report - but Karen has just suggested doing something to commemorate 9-11 (too bad she will probably be gone before then).  Here is a bit of Karen't storry of 9-11.  This file is almost 600k and lasts 1 1/2 minutes.  Please do not direct link to it - instead send people to this page to listen to it - thanks.  Karen talks about 9/11.

7:15am No news.....  all HGs sleeping.  The HGs were on a brief lockdown after I posted at 8:30pm last night because the door to the outside world in the backyard apparently was stuck 'unlocked' - so the HGs had to stay inside while BB fixed it.

An interesting thing - I think I finally figgured out why the "spy cam" only shows the inside of the house - if it showed the outside the HoH could peek at people working in the backyard to set up challenges and such.
 

8pm  The major thing I have noticed tonight is Drew talking to Michael - implying that if he has to choose between Michael and Diane - he will pick Michael (oops - I typed Diane by mistake).  But he has also told Diane that he won't screw her over for Michael - so who knows.....

4:45pm  Hmmmm - apparently Drew told Karen and Jennifer that he is ok with voting Michael out - they seem a bit re-assured.  They discuss how if it is a tie vote that they will now know that Diane voted to evict Karen.  Of course the vote is 3 days away but if they keep assuming this they (Jennifer and Karen) will be in for quite a shock when they hear that the vote is 2-0 and then hear that Karen has been voted out.

12:15pm  Diane and Karen are bashing Big Brother One - Diane thinks that CBS had nothing to do with it - she thinks it was on UPN or some other station.  Ok guys - it was indeed not the same as the current version - but it was not THAT bad - lol.

12pm  Other than Michael napping - nothing new to report ;)

11am  After a wake up call (and the usual fish cam while the HGs get to hear some music) the Hgs are all sitting outside eating breakfast and talking.  They keep signing and BB keeps repremanding them.  Here is one instance of that happening - "STOP THAT"

8:20am  Same....

7:15am  Nothing 'new' to report.  Major happenings last night....  the girls discuss their weight gain..... Michael did "shadow" puppets on the cloud room door for Drew and Diane.....

There has also been speculating on the next HoH competition - if Jennifer will be allowed to compete.  If BB follows the same rules as last year - then she won't.  Last year Erika, Alison and Robert competed for HoH and Jun sat out.  Hmmmm - so think Jennifer might end up winning??
 

2pm  - Just card playing fools.....  not a  lot going on now.  Jennifer told Drew she wants to talk to him later.

12:20pm  Diane did save Drew - Karen is now nominated.
Karen and DIane talk - Diane lies to Karen telling her that at worst it will be a tie and Jennifer will have to vote Michael out.

12:45pm  I just tuned in - I am going to guess they are getting ready for the POV ceremony.  Everyone but Diane is outside - they are not talking at all.  The shades are down suggesting an outside lockdown.  Ahh the dog days of BB.

and this from before I left...I'll be out of town until Sunday night - so this site won't be changing (you do know that this is a one-person run site - right?)  Hope everyone has a great Weekend - I think the BB house will be pretty slow the rest of the week - what should happen Saturday and Sunday...
 

Saturday - Most likely all the HGs will compete for the Power of Veto. Sunday - Might be nothing - but might also be the POV Ceremony.  If Either Michael or Drew win it and take themselves off - Diane will most likely be nominated. The interesting 'twist' (that won't happen) would be for Diane to win POV - save Drew - and see Jennifer have to nominate Karen in Drew's place - then Drew and DIane would be the one casting the votes to evict.....  ohhhhhhh.

7am  The HGs are all snuggled in bed sleeping.

7:55pm  Michael is in with Jennifer pleading his case - Jennifer tells him if it is a tie that he will be safe (in other words - if Drew and Michael go up and Diane and Karen split their vote - Jennifer will evict Drew).   Nominations have not occured - they will happen tommorow - but it seems all assume Drew and Michael will go up.  I believe Diane was part of the "pinky swear" group - so Jennifer feels bound not to nominate her.

 

7:30pm  Ok - of course I missed the eviction - but it was not shown....  Marvin is gone and Jennifer is the new HoH.  So we are down to five - Jennifer, Diane, Karen, Drew and Michael - Jennifer will nominate Michael and Drew - at this moment the plan is to get rid of Michael - but he could win the Veto and save himself.  Also - from the discussion if Michael does go and Drew doesn't win HoH - Drew is gone next week. Note - it is possible that Karen and Jennifer might have different ideas and are only talking of nominating Drew for Diane's sake.

The remaining women plot in the HoH room

3pm - I guess we don't get to see the "live show" - they are taping it for Saturday it seems - so my guess is Marvin is out the door shortly and we will have a new HoH - wow - sucks to be Drew and HoH this week errr I mean for less than 24 hours.

2pm Diane won the POV - Jennifer was put up in Dianes place.  A very fast paced day.  Turns out they are taping the "live show" today as well.

10am Well well - things are sure confusing today.... only because Drew only got to spend one night in the HoH room - he has to be out by 12 today.  No word yet on Veto Competition - I would assume there is no food competition again this week.  Currently we have fish on all four feeds and its been that way for over 30 minutes....

7am HGs all sleeping at the moment - Drew slept alone in the HoH room.

Early morning hours....  no major changes - Diane is pretty much acting - she and Drew - to the best I can tell - are going to play that she is pissed at him (although I think the relationship is pretty strained anyways) - she knows she is safe - I think she is not only acting at Drews suggestion - but on her own to keep the Karen and Jennifer liking her more than Drew - making Drew out to be the bad guy.

Marvin has already packed his bags - he knows that unless he wins the veto today he is gone - he is, all things considered, handling it well - he speaks his mind - but on the whole is not too bitter about it.
