9/15/05 8:50pm  Finally some action/gameplay in the house tonight.  While Maggie was in the Diary Room - Janelle worked on Ivette a bit.  She told Ivette that Ivette would beat her (Janelle) in the final two - but Janelle respects Ivette more - says she has played the game more than Maggie so she wants to take her (lol - nice story Janelle - you know your only chance is against Ivette).  Ivette won't agree to anything - she says if she doesn't take Maggie she breaks a promise.  Ivette than later tells Maggie most of what Janelle said and Maggie agrees that she thinks Janelle will take Ivette becuse Janelle hasn't talked to her (Maggie) at all about the finals.

Currenlty they are playing cards - they have taught Ivette spades it seems (the card game).

4:30pm  Alrighty - since it is a slow day in the house I went looking around REAL.COM to see what other content there was and came across this video - this is a crazy weather guy out of North Carolina - I guess Howie could find a job in TV if this guy can.  Click Here to see the 4 1/2 minute video.  You may need the superpass to see if - if so and you don't have it - here is the link for the 14 day free trial.

2:20pm  Ivette was a teacher?  Huh what?  She just asked Janelle if Michigan had slums (Detroit specifically)....  she asked where Michigan was - if it was near Janelle (Janelle is from Minn.) - Janelle said it was a neighboring state.  I dunno - wasn't geography covered in 5th grade for most people?  All the states and capitals?  Ivette has made these kind of mistakes before - I think her idea of the USA means that every state not on a coastline is in the same general area.

2:05pm  Interesting talk between Maggie and Ivette - Maggie tells Ivette that she thinks her friendship with James harmed her in the game - that he made her look bad by saying he would not put her up -  Maggie doesn't say Ivette was in the wrong - just that James had no friends in the game - she says James hurt Sarah (that she was evicted because of James).

2:00pm  Ivette and Maggies words of wisdom as they site outside......  Ivette feels she and Maggie were the least worried aobut leaving the house at any point during the game - she called it being the 'most welcoming' to the idea of leaving.  Maggie says that she thinks Jen left with the most class.   Maggie also comments on the way April said things at the end because she felt the game was over for her - she says that she (Maggie) has nothing to say - nothing to clear up.
Ivette says she also has nothing to say - she has said it - she will thank everyone for making it that far.  So wise these two - I suspect both will be asked to explain A LOT when they get out of the house.

Regrets?  Maggie would have avoided some promise she made about Kaysar and James - she would have tried to avoid it - Ivette tells her that there was a valid reason to break the promise (ummm - I am guessing the one where James was saved and Kaysar was evicted).

Maggie says no regrets - she doesn't think she did anyone 'harm' in the game.  Ivette says she doesn't think she harmed anyone either - at least not people in her group.

Earlier while the HGs were locked down outside the other camera's showed the BB Staff working inside - apparently checking the set up for the show tommorow.  Thanks to Bonzacat at TVClubhouse for catching these shots.

12:20pm  Hgs are on an outdside lockdown - Maggie and Janelle are both really hurting physically.  Both are hobbling all over the house - if one of them leaves tommorow night I am sure it will be obvious.  I think yesterdays HoH Part 2 really took it out of them.

12:10pm  Janelle is up as well now - they are all going to eat and probably lay out.  Earlier when Ivette and Janelle were around it seems Janelle may have told Ivette she (Janelle) would take her to the final 2 if she won.

10:40am  Janelle sleeps away the morning while Ivette and Maggie are up.  It will most likely be a very slow day since Part II was done yesterday (you know Janelle won - right?).

9:45am  Sleeping away!!!

6:15am All sleeping now. As it turned out they all did get back up last night - Maggie and Ivette went outside to talk in the hammock - Janelle joined them briefly - they are all bored - but Ivette and Maggie went out to talk alone - when Janelle finally leftthem they reviewed things from the house and houseguests for the contest Friday - counting things in the house, remembering facts aobut former houseguests, etc.

6:40pm Talk of the HoH Endurance Competition - Maggie reports that the guys that tested the HoH comp only lasted 5 minutes (the men) she was told this by a guy in the diary room.  BB admonishes them for discussing Diary Room conversations.  Maggie also reports that she chose the wrong hand when she started to have to hold with only one hand (I noticed that - she had to reach across her body).  All are in the hot tub now.

6:20 - Before they hot tub they watch the fish eat - these folks are really dying for entertainment.  Janelle has zits - Ivette sounds like she is getting a cold sore (she is describing a tingling sensation - sounds just like one - stress will do that).

6:10pm  Janelle and Maggie are so sore they can't sleep.  They are asking for Icy Hot and wine and are going to get in the hot tub.  Ivette is actually doing laps in the backyard -  why I don't know - there are really no physical competitions left for her (or anyone).  All that is left is the match up between Ivette and Janelle on Friday nights show for HoH Part 3.

5:20pm  The HGs have a new dining room table and it looks like there is cash inside of it (the $500k I suppose).

4:50pm  Janelle won Part II - she will face Ivette in the final part on Friday.  (whew)  There was some kind of putting things in order and opening a padlock.

4:40pm  I haven't a clue who won Part II and the HGs are not helping matters - they all seem to be napping now - or trying too - none of them seem excited.... 

4:30pm  The feeds came back at 6:15pm but now it is a matter of figguring out who won.  If it was Janelle then she still has a chance - if it is Maggie then Fridays outcome is a done deal.

2:30pm  Maggie has been reviewing the house history with Ivette - over and over - while of course Janelle has no one to work with her - but they still don't know exactly what kind of competition it will be.  We finally go to fish - perhaps it has started.

2:10pm  Janelle and Maggie are getting ready for the 2nd part of the HoH comp - Ivette will not participate.  Maggie can't find her gloves - she thinks she may have left them outside (and apparently they can't go outside at the moment.  They have been told to wear sneakers.  They also drew colors - Janelle got blue, Maggie red.  Maggie goes over the HoH order with ivette...  I think she now has her gloves as well.

11:40am  Hgs talking....  about the previous weeks.  Then someone says that one of the workers in the BB house must have farted really loud this morning and some of them heard it.

11:30am All three are up - all are sore and achey from last night.  When Janelle is away from the other two they whisper and plot. Maggie thinks part two may be today.  She admonished Ivette for not telling her Ivette wanted Part I before they started.  Maggie still feels Ivette would have done better on Part II than she will.  She also tells Ivette she should not have kept telling her (Maggie) that she was safe - she doesn't trust Aprils word that Janelle would take Maggie.

8:40am  Caps of Maggie from last night.  She did seem to stumble and fall - but why she was holding her key with the opposite hand and suddenly walking differently than she had all night seem strange.

8:00am Zzzzzzzz  HGs still soundly asleep!!!

6am  YAAAAWWWNNNNNN  - Long night....   Hgs went to sleep around 2:50am and are all still soundly asleep.  Nothing major happened after I last posted - they all had Diary Room sessions - and chatted a bit - but I didn't see any strategy talk really. Let me clarify and say Ivette won "Vespas" - I know 'moped' is more of a generic term.  They realized that explained why they were being fitted for helmits Monday - and I would guess BB measured their arms so they could in theory set the keys the same distance from the dial for each HG - but I am telling you - it looked to me like Ivette didn't have to reach as far.

No matter - Janelle just sucked at that last night compared to Ivette and Maggie - thats the truth.  I am not sure if Maggie 'threw it' or not. Chances are they will get to sleep in late today.  If it weren't for the need to get the tape edited I would guess Part 2 would be tommorow - but it might be later today.  Ivette will not compete in Part Two - only Janelle and Maggie.  If Maggie wins - then (according to both Maggie and Ivette) - Janelle is done - no matter who wins between Ivette and Maggie they have promised to take each other.

8:10pm to 11:50pm - The details of the rest of part one of the HoH is on this page (click).

8:10pm  Back from fish and nothing seems to have changed.

8:05pm Fish - no one had fallen or stopped that I could see and the dial was moving slowly - perhaps Julie is making an announcement that it has been an hour - or new rules are going into effect (like they can only use one hand from here on out).

8pm and no sign of anyone quitting - the dial does speed up and slow down.  Maggie is now trying remove her gloves.

7:55pm  The dial stopped - but just for a minute - Janelle is getting her sweater off.  I think the dial does change directions.

7:46pm  Hmmmmm Ivette does not seem to need to reach as far as Janelle or Maggie to hold her key.

7:43  Ivette just managed to remove her sweatshirt top while staying on.  They are all breathing rather heavy now it seems.

7:35pm  The dial is slowly speeding up.  All still on - still very little (almost no) conversation.  The most they have been saying is "it's going faster?"  "Yeah."  Next post in 15 minutes unless someone falls off.

7:20pm Well - I can't post to the live feeds at TVCH - too many people re-freshing every 10 seconds like the world will end if you dont' know the instant someone falls off.....  Have patience people - you will know before 90% of the rest of the world - or get your free live feed trial now so you can see the result as it happens!  Shameless plug.

7:12pm  All still on - rim still going around.  Maggie told the others it is an honor to be with them there - they both agree - Maggie asks if it is going faster - the concensus from the others seems to be no.

7:05pm  They are not talking - all concentrating - the only thing I have heard so far is Maggie say "Its going faster" to which Janelle replied "Yup."

7:00 pm - here we go - they are on a spinning rim - have to hold on to the key and continusly step sideways as the rim turns.

6:55pm  Here is the HoH Stage:

6:52 - On the show (so far):

• Post Nominations
• Howie arrives at Jury House
• POV Comp.
• April/Ivette Cat Fight
• Janelle talks to Julie
• Ivette votes out April
• April talks to Julie
• Looks like they will be standing on a gold safe for the HoH Comp (Part one)

6:10pm  Live Show underway - I will announce who is evicted - check back around 6:40 to see what has happened!!!

5:48pm  Show starts in 12 minutes - fishcam is on- this might be it.

5:45 - Ivette is stressing.  April, and Janelle are the goofiest - Maggie in the middle.  Maggie has gloves in her sweatshirt pocket in case she needs them (she whispered this to April).

5:30pm  Janelle tries on another outfit.  She asks her roomates - zipper down or up?  Ivette says she does not know if it will work well for what they will be doing later (the HoH comp.).

 

5:25pm  BB has provided April with something to put under her dress to hold her battery pack - it is out of her panties now ;)  Maggie tells April to let James know he treated her badly (Maggie) and he should feel bad about it.  She says he did a lot of damage to her (Maggie) in the house.

5:10pm I am trying to get one more picture of April but the camera seems to be ignoring her - no need to get more video of her when she will be out of the house in a couple hours I guess.  FInally - got one (camera was out of focus - not me)....  Now April can't get her mic anywhere on the dress - its now in her underwear - lol.

4:50pm  Maggie and Ivette were talking about relationships - or roommates vs people you 'live with' and Ivette brings up some guy that must not have signed a release so they switched to the fish.  Feeds came back to Ivette talking about her mom.

4:15pm  HGs just waiting for the show it looks like. 1 hr 45 minutes to go.

3pm  It's been fishcam for the last 20+ minutes - my guess is they are doing a rehearsal for tonights show (with the exception of the HoH comp).  3 hours to the live show.

2:30pm HGs continue to get ready for tonights show (9pm Eastern - 6pm BB time) - Some people wonder if there is any chance Maggie might go - I 'd have to say no (and would love to be wrong just for the stir it would cause).

2:15pm  Packing to leave - thats about all the excitement - and showering - the lockdown did only last 15 minutes.

12:50pm  Now the 4 Hgs are in the HoH room on another lockdown.....  only 15 minutes promises BB - they don't buy it.

12:15pm Everyone is in cleaning mode now.  It is also an "Inside lockdown" - they probably won't be allowed out until HoH time.  Hopefully we will get a sneak peek at the HoH layout on the feeds. 

12pm  Everyone is now up - Maggie, April and Janelle sit around the table while Ivette sweeps. Maggie comments to her that she can't clean the whole house by herself.  Janelle says she went to bed early (they all did) - Janelle is probably coming off 11 hours of sleep.  They all hope that they (BB) will keep April until the next person is evicted and take them together to Mexico (umm - its not Mexico and I don't even know if April will leave the area and definitly not the person evicted Friday).

10:15am Nothing - all still sleeping.

6:20am  All sleeping - not much missed after I called it quits last night.  April did say she thinks tonight's endurance part of the HoH competition will last at least 9 hours.  That would be longer than the others at this point - I don't think it will last that long myself - 2 or 3 hours at most.

9:12pm  Janelle will be moving out of the HoH room tommorow - there seems to be a bit of a truce in the house - and by that all I mean is Ivette is actually talking to Janelle in a normal voice whereas she had been avoiding both her and April for almost the entire day.  I think April is in the HoH room - everyone else is in the main bedroom just talking about non-game stuff.

 7:30pm  The Hgs have been measured for some type of outfit - they assume (as do I) that it will have to do with the endurance competition tommorow.  They even think helmits may be involved.

5pm  The 'memory wall' showed various pictures of Janelle on the set of 2 1/2 Men....

2:40pm  Power went down in LA as many of you know....  the feeds were up most of the time - here is Janelle and April playing volleyball.  There has been no mention by the HGs about a power outtage so not sure if they even noticed it - or perhaps the power did go out for a few minutes but the HGs thought nothing of it.

1:40pm  Ahhh - power outtage in LA - sounds like the BB house may have lost power too atleast for a minute.  Some viewers noticed the bubbles in the fishtank stop and start.  My website is actually down at the moment but I am updating it so when the server is back up it will be up to date.

1:30pm  We have had fish for some reason for the last 45 minutes or so.... perhaps there is something going on in the way of a challenge - hard to say.  I just found out that the applications for Big Brother 7 are now online - more info here.

1pm  Is there a final twist?  Rumors are running all over the net about a final twist...  Perhaps there won't be an endurance HoH this year (which would suck if you ask me) - perhaps there safe holds something that will be revealed tommorow or Friday.....  hmm - time for me to start digging!!!

12pm  April, Maggie and Ivette are up - Ivette is stomping around very grumpy - April and Maggie seem to be trying to just make it through the day.  Maggie and April are now having breakfast.

10:30am  Maggie and April talking in bed - about why Eric didn't come in after the America's Choice vote - Maggie talks about who voted... 

Maggie - you gotta remember that the people that are voting are not necessarily people that have jobs..... 
April - yeah - cause they are watching the internet all the time
Maggie - yeah - Your and my crowds are like people that work hard for our money - like - wholesome.... 

6:45am Maggie and April went to sleep around 2:30 to 3am - now all the HGs are sleeping away - Janelle in the HoH room, Ivette in the main bedroom and April and Maggie in the Gold bedroom.

7:30pm  It had been a very uneventful afternoon but things are getting ramped up again a little.  Inside the house Ivette is ranting again about April to Maggie - outside April is recounting the morning's events to Janelle - Janelle is being supportive of April (of course).

2:05pm  Hgs now settle down for a long afternoon.  Janelle sleeps in the HoH room and Ivette, April and Maggie try to catch some rays.  April accidently exposed her top when adjusting her bikini - yes it made the feeds - no I am not going to post a screencap - lol - you will have to get get the feeds yourself to try to catch those kind of pictures.

1:25pm POV ceremony is over I assume - and I also will assume Ivette used it.  Without many people in the house the discussins about such things are liminted.  Ivette is pouting on a bed and April and Maggie are making breakfast.  I'd just assume Janelle has run back off to the HoH room.

12:30pm  HGs are preparing for the POV ceremony.  More on the 'blow up' here - in the end Maggie was a bit of a voice of reason so things finally calmed down a bit.

11:45am  Ivette just BLEW UP at April - they are going round and round about how April feels that Ivette was a strong influence on her (April's) decisions in the house. If this doesn't make TV Tuesday night I will be shocked.  I am pretty sure April will be gone Tuesday but Ivette may be losing April's vote if she (Ivette) makes it to the final two with this outburst.

9/11/05 10:45am Ivette, Maggie and April are outside - just kinda waking up.  Maggie seemed to say to Ivette that she was fine with whatever "she" decided (I am assuming she means what Janelle decides to do if she has to choose between Ivette and Maggie for the final two).

The HGs set up the pool volleyball set so they could play in the backyard the other night.

10:30am  BB announced about 15 minutes ago that the Veto Ceremony will take place in 2 hours (so roughly around 12:15pm).

9:30am  All the Hgs are sleeping.

5:10pm  One guess on the fallout from Ivette winning the POV....  April is mad.  She is mad she says because Ivette jumped up and down and yelled that she made the final three - she felt it was wrong for Ivette to gloat (and gee - April thinks she will be going home Tuesday and since Ivette will be casting the vote she is probably right).  The interesting thing to see is will this be a possible 'friendship' vote that might go to Janelle is things came down to Janelle vs Ivette?   Sounds like a possibility but don't forget that April's partner is Jennifer who DETESTS Janelle.

1:50pm  Apparently Ivette won the POV.  She doesn't appear to be too happy about it.  Perhaps that is because she will now be the one to decide who leaves between April and Maggie (assuming she uses it).

12:55pm  POV competition finally seems to be underway.

11:30am  Hgs are up and about - the POV competition is supposed to be gin at any time.

7:50am Here is a pic from last nights taping.  I do indeed know two of the people that were there last night - Janelle did not stay for the whole thing (I was wondering) - and there (obviously) were fans there.  They did call her "Jedi Janie" and tell her they loved her.  No pictures though other than the press ones.  You can find a description of the trip on TVClubhouse (direct link).

7:30am  The HG are all sound asleep - nothing much happened after my last entry last night - just chatting and a little wine I think - the POV contest will be held later today.  I think I may know some of the 'fans' that were yelling at Janelle at the 2 1/2 Men taping - if I can I will try to get something posted about what they saw.  As an example of how the "friendship' convinces themself that Janelle is always lying - Maggie said to Ivette/April that the could not have been BB fans at 2 1/2 Men because CBS didn't tell America where the winner was going (obviously she is wrong).

Janelle shows off the shirt she was given	Janelle gets grilled by the others on her trip.

6:45pm  Janelle won America's Choice - what a shocker.  She has already left the house - needless to say it has been mostly a bash Janelle fest with her gone.  She won't be back until late tonight.

 

3:30pm Maggie and Ivette have been nominated.  Maggie seems perfectly fine - Ivette is sniffly - telling herself not to cry - she told April she knew April's key would be there - April says she really didn't know.  Ivette has already made a plea to April to at least consider saving her.

3:24pm  Feeds are back - Ivette is up - not sure who else.

3:15pm Still have fish......

3pm Rats - we have fish - thought we might get to see the actual nominations this time since they let us see the staff walking in.  No such luck it seems.  Janelle must be calling them in for noms.

2:58  A couple staff members carried in the nomination box with a single key in it and put it in the workout room - I guess this is where Janelle will carry it in from once nominations formerly begin:

2:48pm Janelle comes back the the Diary Room....  hmmm.

2:45pm  Janelle just entered the HoH room after being in the Diary Room most of this time - on her way she stopped to look at the picture wall - and possibly to pick up the keys.

2:15pm  Finally - Janelle is inside beginning the nomination process - nominations should be known in around 15-30 minutes.

2pm  - Nope - no nominations yet - Janelle and the other women are moving slow - they are going to have to get nominations done and move right on to America's Choice at this rate.

1:25pm  Ughhh...  now Janelle asks if April would be mad if she was nominated - Janelle says she doesn't know who she will nominate.  April says she will not be mad either way because the real outcome is dependent on winning the POV since that is the only way to guarantee you are safe this week.  Janelle says she is worried that if she does not put up April, people will think she and April have a deal.

1:20pm  Janele and April are talking in the HoH room - not sure who initiated this conversation - but Janelle is not tipping her hand as to who she is nominating.  Maggie is all over the place - tells Janelle she thinks Maggie is safe.  Now April pretty much tells Janelle she would vote out Ivette over Maggie (which seems to be what Janelle wanted to hear).  April thinks Ivette would vote her (April) out because of her connection with Eric.  She thinks that Maggie is a 'toss-up' at the moment and it all depends how the POV comes out.  In the end Janelle tells April she wants April to stay over Ivette and Maggie.

12:55pm  Nominations in about 40 minutes.  Ivette Maggie and April eat, Janelle does her hair.  Ivette and maggie spoke earlier like they expected April to be safe - frankly I don't have a clue and those three always speak somewhat negatively about whichever of the three is not with them.

11:40am  BB has announced that the Eviction Nominations will be in 2 hours.  April says something must be going on tonight (because they are having nominations so early).  Everyone is up now.

10:15am  Hgs are slowly stirring but only Ivette is up at the moment.  As you can see nominations will indeed be today by the notice on the television screen in the living room.  Janeel is sleeping in the HoH room - but she was up a bit earlier - Ivette seems to be maging something to eat in the Kitchen.

6am  As it turned out the 'friendship' didn't spend the night with Janelle - instead they camped out in the regular bedroom and chatted until the early morning - mostly gossip and re-hashing of things they missed during competitions. All are sound asleep now.   I would guess there will be nominations this afternoon followed by one of the HGs finding out they get to go see the taping of 2 1/2 men.  That will last until very late (probably 11pm or later) so nominations should take place before the America's Choice winner is announced.
