6pm Mike eliminated by a 10-0 vote - Marvin wins HoH - Adria and Natalie switch places live on cam.

1:30pm Seems to me the HGs are mostly killing time..... Marvin is preparing dinner for tonight - other than that there is just general chit-chat.

Last night I guess Jase tried to kiss Holly and got shut down.  It just seems to me nothing is happening - even the "plotting" has been at a minimum.  Everyone is just killing time waiting for the next HoH to be named.

Its back (TVCH).....  for future reference IF  TVClubhouse is down - you can go here to check the status - any "live feed" posters can mail me live feeds (with the time and your TVCH nickname please) to webmaster@ilovereality.com and I will post them as soon as I can once the site is back to normal.
7/15/04 Guess we won't get to see who is evicted over the net this year with the "fish cam" running.  You can read this thread at TVClubhouse to see who goes (umm - it will be Mike) and who wins HoH.

11am The Hgs are now all up - looks like the Living Room is all ready for the live show later today.

10am - Live Eviction tonight - Mike will be evicted - then there will be a new HoH.  All the Hgs are still pretty much sleeping and are on an indise-lockdown.

Jase in the HOH by himself on the lower left - and thats Holly by herself on the lower tight.  Details of yesterday's events HERE.

Short and simple - the HGs voted today but that was hadly discussed - and Mike feels sure he is leaving.

Holly and Jase 'broke up' (if you can call it that) more details here.

Holly was also accused of being a "mole" and again asked if she had a twin.  The feeling I got as the HGs went to bed is that, unless something changes, Holly may be nominated and evicted next week because no one feels she is being honest and might even be a "mole."

2pm Nothing happening in the house to speak of - so I drifted over to the CBS site and found the link to the webcast hosted by Macellas.  Hey Marcel - you guys are making the webcast tie in with the TV show - not the real goings on in the house.  Will you reveal that Scott does not use the veto before the TV show Tuesday?  Doubtful

Click here to go to the CBS Housecalls video page.

10:30am The hgs are all up and slowly moving about.  With the live eviction on Thursday chances are the voting will not occur until Wednesday.  The Veto is over....  so not much for the Hgs to do except kill time and perhaps have a luxury challenge.

Will, Drew and Jennifer	Karen makes omlets as Drew looks on	Meanwhile outside some HGs soak up the rays and do Laundry.

Early morning...  before the Hgs went off to bed Scott told Drew and Dianae that Holly said she has a twin (read my latest twin update here).

One other note - based on a couple comments the HGs this year seem to think they are the best HGs ever in the house.  Surprise surprise - every year the cast thinks they are so much better than the other years.  Sorry - Season 2 takes that contest - and Season 1 does not count since it was so different.

11pm - The alliances are allll over the place - but honestly it seems to be guys vs girls.  Adria is a prime target for the guys now.  Whats funny is to watch the guys talk to the girls and feed some info to each other and then go right back to their other alliance and pass it on.  As I type this all the guys except Mike and Will is in the HoH room discussing the alliances.  Mike is no where to be seen and I think everyone assumes he is gone next week.

8:30 am - Goood morning- the HGs are all asleep - no major news to report - I will do some catching up later - for now I am off to coach in a Pinto Baseball Tourney - whooo hoooo.......  Enjoy the day!!!  I think the Veto Ceremony will be tommorow....today the food competition  might be held - or a luxury competition, or .. nothing.....  ;)  No matter what I will let you know anything that happens as soon as I know about it!!!!

2pm - the HGs just finished the Veto competition - Mike did not win - I think Scott did.  It also appears that Marvin talked to a psychologist and was thinking of leaving - but he is ok now.

They appear to be off PB & J now.  This is Will, Jase and Lori on the pool - the back-yard is still set up from the competition - the theme seemed to be a Hawain theme with Flamigos, etc.

Lordy lordy - I need to catch up badly!!!   I just wrote an article on my thoughts about the first week.  You can read it here. Next up is catching up with the goings-on the last few hours!!

2:30pm False alarm - there was no competition yet.  Guess they were just cleaning up the yard.  Scott likes to amuse himself - here you can see him launching himself off the treadmill "a la" the MTV show "Jackass."  BB made him stop after he cut his arm.  HGs are still on a PB & J diet.  I also am starting to think that Adria is the twin that is switching in and out.

1:30pm Most of the HGs are in the living room - they are on an inside-lockdown - we are assuming that they are getting ready for the veto competition.

11:45 am - It looks like tonights show will only show Nominations, Michael and jenn finding out aobut each other and stuff like that - no live portion.  The word is the first eviction won't happen until NEXT Thursday - not a smart move by CBS - a lot of folks are going to lose interest fast if they don't get things moving - but maybe I am biased.

11am Hgs practice for tonights HoH competition - or not - there is some confusion about tonight's show - it may only be a recap of more happenings with the nominations shown.  This could be practice for a veto competition.  If so - Mike seems to be very good at it.

Mike ("The Don") and Jennifer are nominated.  It looks like Mike will be the person evicted.

11am - the HGs are all up - no major items this morning - they think they may have a veto competition - but usually that occurs after nominations....  nominations should happen some time in the near future.

Scott and Drew in the bathroom.

Other stuff....... there are actually 3 twins in the house - Julie only mentioned Diana and Drew had twins.  Adria also has an identical twin sister.

Drew	Adria	Diana
All have twin siblings....

Late night - Not sure who Jase will nominate tonight - I think Mike (not 'cowboy') will be one - Holly or Jennifer might be the other.  Mike's nickname among the others seems to be "The Don."

Holly told a couple stories - one involving kidnapping and one involving rape - the HGs think she is fabricating them - and the cameras go to the fish as soon as anyone brings it up.

It appears the HGs entered the house on June 30th - so if that was day one this is day 8......

Marvin has ticked off most of the women - he is not doing well on the PB&J diet. 

Drew, Michael, Jase and Scott do seem to have an alliance.

Michael and Jennifer both are aware they are related now - and everyone else knows too - which is potentially making both of them a target to be voted off.

Holly has told some "tall tales" in the house and people know she is full of it.

Marvin might have violated a rule - not sure.

Nominations are tommorow - Jase is meeting with Drew, Scott and Michael tonight to discuss the options.

We seem to be getting the fish tank view instead of the Front of the House when people say things that need to be censored.

Marvin and Scott seem to feel there will be some type of competition soon involving a "sling shot" that they have been given.

So when will the live feeds actually start?  One place says they won't begin until after the show airs on the West coast - which means 12:30 am for those on the East.  Last year they began as soon as the show ended on the East coast - so you might try them earlier - I never trust the "announcements."

Whats with the cast pics?  Someone asked me why 3 spaces were blank.  Frankly I just think its the layout they chose to get 13 pictures somewhat symetrical - there are no rumors about any additional HGs being revealed.

From the BB Newsletter..., "The Big Brother Talk Show, Live Daily on CBS.com Join hosts Marcellas Reynolds from BB3 and Gretchen Massey from KLSX radio in Los Angeles for HOUSE CALLS, the new BIG BROTHER talk show webcast daily at 1PM ET/10AM PT, on CBS.com. During each episode, Marcellas 
and Gretchen will be taking your phone calls and emails, commenting on the 
BB action and talking with in-studio guests."
 

The Hoh room is wired with a plasma TV and apparently you can 'spy' on every room.  I wonder how this is going to translate to us that are watching on the net....   I can already see a couple people are going to annoy me to no end.  Julie was on the Early Show this morning and said the theme this year is "Project DNA" - which stands for "Do not assume" but also for the fact that 2 HGs are related and don't know it.

Word on TVCH is that the live feeds will not begin until after the show airs on the west coast. This was not the case last year - they started right after the show finished on the east coast.  The feeds actually began a few hours earlier with a looping commercial of the houseguests.  I'll let you know when I get my feeds running (I need to order them yet!!).

Normally the houseguests move in a few days before the show officially starts so I am betting that happens today or tommorow.  There wil be the first HoH competition and most likely a food competition AND nominations all before we get a chance to see the live feeds which usually begin right after the show airs on the east coast.

One "twist" I have not mentioned before is that two of the houseguests are supposed to be related and not know it.  I am in agreement with most other fan sites that have said "so what??"  I also don't know if the "concrete room" shown on the ET preview will be that much of a bid deal - assigned bedrooms have never ended up being much of an issue once the HGs have been in the house a few days.
