10:45pm Karen sucked her mexican meal down without a hitch...  then came Natalie - again she had not one problem with her meal. 

10:35pm Drew sucked down his blended meal - steak and potato and beer (all blended together).  Hgs get to eat Monday.  Karen up next for Tuesday.

10:30pm  Marvin did not make it - a lot of seafood - was too thick - no one was mad.  Adria did make it - a lot of veggies and wine. - so they eat Friday and Sunday so far - no Saturday.

10:15pm  Michael got his Chix & Rice and Dr. Pepper down - Marvin is up next - so the HGs get to eat Friday.

 

10:02pm  OHHHH - its the 'blender' game - been done before - Jennifer  will be blending the foods for the HGs to consume....

10pm  Each HG has a meal prepared just for them to eat - it is supposed to be their favorite foods based on what they have told BB before.   Each is assigned a day of the week - they must eat all the food prepared for them in 3 minutes in order for the group to eat that day.   This will be a long one as I am sure they will do it one at a time - with lots of "fish" pauses in between.

9:48pm Late night food competition has been announced!!!

9:30pm  All in all its been pretty quiet - here are the tidbits I have read and seen....
Something is up in the backyard - perhaps a late-night food competition?  This image flashed across the screen about 5 minutes ago - looks like a fancy dinner set up outside.

Apparently when Will was leaving he flashed his hand at Natalie and he had something written on it that wasn't nice - "somthing-U" 
 

6pm  Will eliminated - voting went just as expected - Jennifer won HoH - full recap here.

4:50pm  Will suspects he is leaving - all the HGs are waiting for the show to start - sitting around the couches.  Will and Karen talk in the bathroom - Will says if Julie says its a tie he knows he is going - if she announces a vote (4-2) he knows he is staying.  Karen gives him a big hug at the thought of him leaving.  Then we get Fish - no more feeds until after the show.

3pm "Rich" - a production person I imagine comes over the speaker to tell the HGs they need to get ready for the live vote practive.  Here are two audio clips - the announcement and 10 minutes or so later Rich calling them to sit down.
ONE: Announcement
TWO: Time To Sit Down

As they headed to sit down I heard Drew say to Adria or Natalie, "are we all on the same page?"  she replied, "yes."  I do believe Wil is doomed - but maybe Adria will send Marvin off if its a tie.
 

1:30pm  Maybe JUST maybe Drew will shock everyone and vote out Marvin - very very slim chance - otherwise it will be a tie.

HG's prepare for tonights live show.
 

A sneak peek at the HoH competition - looks like another boring 'quiz show' format.

9am  No big happenings last night - (my ISP was bought by Comcast and while the people on the phone were great the ISP SUCKS in my opinion just because it took me 4 hours and 14 phone calls to get re-connected).

The only things I noted was that Jennifer lost a ring which ended up being in a pair of Will's jeans.  Now before you go 'oooooooooohhhhhh' - she had borrowed the jeans from will recently and apparently left the ring in a pocket.

Voting tonight looks like it will still end up in a tie - I can't see Will changing his mind - so the vote should be 3-3 and Adria will break the tie.

Natalie, Adria and Michael play "Hacky Sack" in the yard.

5:15pm Adria and Natalie discussed who to go after next and they seemed to agree upon Jennifer - then Marvin.  Now there is NOTHING going on - I think many are sleeping - Jenn and Natalie or Adria are making designs with M&M's and Marvin is playing solitaire.

4pm Since the voting will be live tommorow - the day has been pretty quiet.  Drew did promise Michael that he was voting for Will to go out.

11:30am  Voting will be live tommorow.  No voting today.....

Karen was talking to Natalie and she implied that she felt Marvin would be the one going - ohh is she gonna be shocked unless Adria changes her mind or Drew changes his vote.

10:20am  Hgs are up - were told to get up around 9:30 or so - but they are draggin.  I am not sure if voting has started but two of the feeds are on the fish so something is going on in the diary room.  The conversation is just general morning chit-chat.

6:50am  HGs all sleeping....

Catching up after a late night for some of the HGs - Diane and Drew were up until an hour ago talking/fighting/laughing......  The jist of it seems to be that Diane has all but admitted she doesn't trust the twins, and feels they don't trust her, feels that they have lied to her and does not want Will to go - so she was trying to get Drew to change his alliance as well - as far as I can tell Drew did not agree to that.  Looks like a split vote to me today if things stay the way they are...

IF nothing happens it should be Drew, Michael and Natalie voting to evict Will and Karen, Diane and Jennifer voting to evict Marvin - a tie that Adria will have to break.

One other note - Diane told Drew that she had a reality check yesterday and she seems to be pulling away from Drew as far as a relationship - of course that could easily change right back - and may already have.

Watching Natalie and Andrea today its impossible to notice how they are very much almost one person - they know each other so well and seem to be of one mind in a lot of things - the compliment each other all the time. 

5pm  its been an afternoon of plotting by Will - trying to secure Drew to vote for him to stay - he got Drew in the Cement Room and told Drew to vote how he wanted - and that he held no malice against him and has never said a bad thing about him - Drew implies that someone had told him Will had said some stuff - obviously meaning the twins - this upset Will even more - so he is not a happy camper - Drew seems to be more and more on the fence and is the swing vote this week to keep Will.
 

1:25pm  After cleaning house a bit the lazy day is setting in.  But Will is plotting - along with Karen and Diane and Jennifer it seems.

Diane has confided in Will that Drew is more "into" the twin thing than she is - she is not happy when Drew spends time alone with them (Adria and Natalie).  Both Will and Drew plan to tak to Drew some more - it sounds like Diane is willing to go against the twins to keep Will in the house.

So it is possible that Will may stay - if Diane votes with Karen, Jennifer - and Will can convince Drew to vote out Marvin - then Will will indeed have another week in the house......  not so boring a day afterall.....

10:15am  Someone was singing in the bathroom apparently and BB tells them to knock it off.  You can hear Diane react to the admonishment.  Please Stop Singing (mp3 file).

10:10am  Hgs got their wake-up call - and are moving about.

9:45am They are all still sleeping.  So while you are bored - check out my thoughts on the fact there are too many Hgs in the house....

6:10am With the exception of Drew and Diane, the Hgs were all asleep by 1:30am or so.  The 'cuddle couple' were up until around 3am cuddling and ummmmm doing whatever under the blankets.  Today will be an extreeeemely slow day in my opinion - no voting until tommorow - all I can see happening is maybe some strategizing to see where the votes are falling out.

I did do a little analysis of the 'alliances' and I made a pretty diagram - you might check it out here :)

Its just slooooowww - I mean they are doing stuff  - but game-wise not much can develope until we see who is voted out.  Adria is hoping for a tie and planning on voting out Will - Will is starting to think he might be safe.  Thats about where things sit.
 

3pm  Interesting conversation between Adria and Natalie - they ranked the order in which they hoped people would win HoH.  Whats interesting is the two obvious things....  Will is not on the list - and they rank Michael higher than Diane - they have lost faith in her the past day based on how she acts - they feel she is playing both sides a bit (but they sure loved the info she gave them on Will's feelings).

This was the order...  Natalie, Drew, Michael, Diane, Marvin, Karen, Jennifer.

12:45pm  Adria did not use the POV.  She and Natalie discuss the results in the HoH room. Adria really wants it to be a tie so she can break it.

12:30pm Here is another audio bit for those that would like to hear Marvin and Will joke about what they could do/say in the veto ceremony.

9:50am HGs started getting up around 9:15am - veto ceremony is supposed to be in 2 hours.  Here are  acouple clips of the voice that tells them to get up, adjust their mic, etc.

Second Wake-up Call.
Veto in 2 Hours.

7am Sleeping HGs.....

Later on last night Will, Karen and Jennifer went to talk to Adria - Will told her he was 'cool' with everything and would not nominate her if he stayed and got HoH (a pre-planed lie) - it didn't work - Adria did not buy it (I don't think). Later on Drew and Diane came in and talked as well - the strongest  alliance now has to be the twin alliance - they also have latched on to Michael whom they use to gather info and report back.

I think Michael is going to last a few more weeks - everyone uses him for their needs and no one sees him as a real threat.

Late Late night - Diane accused Drew of plotting with Adria and Natalie in the HoH room - Drew calmed her telling her she was getting paranoid as the result of her PB&J diet.

It sounds like if it is a tie vote, Adria (for now) would vote out Will.  They HGs may force a tie just so Adria is the one voting someone out. 

Will and Marvin were both pretty harsh towards Adria today - neither gave in a lot and they definitly told her that they did not want her to use the veto - both plan on nominating Adria if they were to get HoH next week.  Neither is 'campaigning' against the other.

9:15am - The HGs got their morning wake-up call around 9am.

Late night.....  the group has pretty much split up with Michael being closer to the 'twin alliance' based on conversations last night.  Adria may 'offer' the veto to both Will and Marvin today for some type of promise - that would be interesting to see - because Marvin and WIll might share that info and see she is just playing them.  Of course at this point they don't have a lot of options.

10pm  Will, Drew and DIane won - more details on the Luxury Competition here.

9:30pm  N the backyard are 3 lanes - 9 theater seats - 3 sets of red carpeting and 3 giant bowls of M&M's.

2 teamates asseble the carpet puzzle - then the third runs to the bowl to find a "golden M&M' - then all three rush to sit - 1st team to complete the tasks wins the movie in the HoH room.

9:15pm Luxury competition ....

Will, Diane, Drew team 1
Karen, Michael and Marvin team 2
Natalie, Jennifer and Adria team 3.

9:10pm SInce about 8pm we have had the Fish Cam - now they HGs are watching a preview of the movie "Without a Paddle" - three of them will get to watch it in the HoH room - the first luxury competition it seems.
 

6:53pm It looks like Adria won the POV - it hasn't really been discussed much - one reason being the HGs got a couple gifts (or more) - Drew appears to have gotten a digital camera and it looks like Will got an I-pod.

Diane holds an I-pod, Drew a digital camera.

2pm I am assuming the Veto Competition has begun - Marvin told the other HGs he had peeked outside and that there were "Deer" all over the yard - he might have been joking but there is no way to know as there were no sneak peeks for the net viewers.

12:15pm  Nothing yet - the Veto Competition is scheduled to begin in a couple of hours.  2 feeds are on the fish - various people in the Diary Room must be keeping feeds 3 and 4 on the fish.

Just heard Diane talking to Jennifer - it sounded like if either of them use the veto Will does not want them to use it.... not sure but thats what it sounded like.

10:30 am The HGs are just rising for the day - Veto competition will be the main thing whenever it happens - so we will have FISH for a good portion of the afternoon most likely.

9:10pm  Marvin finished his DR interview on nominations -  he doubts much he said will make TV due to his language.  Will is not in the Diary Room - all the other HGs are in the hottub or the backyard - except Adria who sits inthe HoH room alone.

9pm  Jennifer continues to talk to Adria - she defends her position - she talks about the alliance of 7 people (everyone but Marvin and Michael) - she says if she had called everyone in the room together no one would have commited - she said half the people wanted Marvin, half wanted Michael - but no one said to nominate Michael and marvin (huh?).
 

Jennifer doesn't argue with her - but from my point of view Adria's argument makes no sense - she is talking in circles and defending herself for not letting people know ahead of time that she was using Will as a pawn.  She says she is satisfied because she has made everyone think - the game was dull and now its interesting again (ok Adria - whatever).  Sounds to me like things did not go the way she wanted - so she is finding reasons to make it logical to herself.  It did not help that Natalie was by her side this afternoon backing up her decisions.

She also sights the fact that she has not been in the house as long as the others since she and Natalie have been switching out. Amazingly after all this Jennifer goes out to the hot tub and explains Adria's side to everyone - she seems to have bought what I feel is about 50% bull from Adria.  Just my opinion though (and I don't dislike her btw).

8:30pm  - Jennifer talks to Adria in the HoH room - Adria justifies her nomination because she feels Will is safe - she also implies to Jennifer that someone was badmouthing Will (again - this was Karen in Adria's opinion) - Adria says she will not cal people out - Jennifer says to call her out if she is the one - Adria tells her she wasn't.

Adria tells Jennifer that none of her "team" worked with her on deciding nominations last night - so she decided to do it on her own (hmm - I dunno if I buy that line).

Again Adria uses a softball analogy to explain a point...... 7:55pm  Ok - I have had just about enough of Adria and Natalie using Softball and "Team" play in every thing they talk about - these two girls use it for every single part of their gameplay discussion.   7:45pm - More details on the nominations fallout here.

Adria and Natalie talk in ght HoH while Will tells Diane, Jennifer and Karen that according to Adria - one of them wants him out (Adria was thinking of Karen when she told Will that).

Adria tells Natalie she is not sure who she wants to have join her in the veto competition.
 

7pm Will and Marvin are indeed nominated - sounds like the house is reeling.  Marvin is mad because he feels he helped save Adria.  Jennifer is upset too it seems.  I think everyone expected Michael to be one of those on the block and to be eliminated next.

Adria talks to Will - tells him she thinks he will stay - he is not sure he wants to - feeling Karen, Jennifer or Diane had some part in his nomination.
 

4:35pm    The HGs had been on inside lockdown - waiting for BB to clean up the back yard.  They just were allowed to go outside - they find their new grill (won in the food competition).  Now maybe nomination well begin.

The New Grill

4:30 Everyone is bored.... (and I lost a bit of my page - grrrr)

11:30am The food competition came and went while I was out - the HGs grouped in two teams of four and had to make hamburgers as fast as they could. They decided on 2 guys and 2 girls on each team 

One Team: Jennifer, Karen, Michael and Will 
The Other: Natalie, Drew, Diane and Marvin 

"The Other" team lost and will be eating PB&J for the week - they are not pleased to say the least - Drew and Diane are on their second straight week of PB&J. 
 

8am - HGs sleeping - I need to catch up - looks like Adria is going to nominate Marvin and Will - she wants to get Marvin out.
