In the past couple of days, Russell has started to show himself as somewhat of a loose cannon,  or at least a free thinker.  This of course has the household very nervous.  Another variable causing concern is this new power, the coup d'état.   Who win win the power to turn the game upside down and remove one or both of the nominees,  and select the replacement nominees?  To vote for free at the CBS web site,   CLICK HERE.

The house didn't settle down to sleep until 6:00AM,  OK settle down may be an exaggeration,  there was still a lot of tossing and turning going on. at 8:00AM.

9:55AM BBT:  Russ is up, has changed his batteries and is making coffee.
10:35AM BBT:   FotH  (Time to get up.)
11:00AM BBT:  They say Bob Marley was the wakeup song and it was a dedication to Casey.  Ronnie's up and in kitchen now.  Pool room lights are on, with Lydia under the covers. Red room and have-not room still dark with sleeping HGs.
11:25AM BBT:   Chima, Jeff, Jordan and Ronnie join Russ in the kitchen.   Lydia is now up too.  Everyone is just making chit-chat about last night's contest. 
11:45AM BBT:  Outdoor LD  Russ wasn't called to the DR, so this is not the nomination LD.

12:45PM BBT:  LD is over. The HGs are presented with the America's Choice of food: Squash and Squid.  Jessie is all mad because he thinks you can't do anything with the squid and that's stuff only restaurants can make.

12:50PM BBT: Jeff joins Russell upstairs in HoH room.

Russell asks Jeff not to say anything about the deal to anyone and he says he won't.  Russell wants Ronnie out.  Russell says only two things are important: family and religion.  He's mad that Ronnie was swearing to God and on the Bible.  Both Jeff and Russell are Catholics.  Russell doesn't think Ronnie deserves to be here.  Russell compliments Ronnie and his intelligence,  but still wants him out.  Jeff doesn't care how good Ronnie it because Ronnie keeps saying lies.  Russell says he doesn't care about lying to Ronnie because it's a taste of his own medicine.

They say Ronnie adds insult to injury by wearing 'I'm Lying' t-shirts. Russell says he gave Jeff his word and Jeff and Jordan are safe.

Russell tells Jeff he and Jordan can come up to the HoH room and chill, especially since they couldn't the past weeks because of the other HoHs.  Russell says the stuff with Jeff and him the first week was because they're alpha males and they didn't know each other and had other people telling lies and whatnot.

Russell says he wants to team up with Jeff and Jeff thinks it's a good idea.

1:00PM BBT:  They agree they have a lot of similarities. They agree to team up and not tell anyone.  Jeff says that everyone else is scared because they're not in control anymore and not sure what Russell will be doing.  They agree to approach each other if they hear shit from someone else and they need clarification.  They don't think anyone will suspect Russell and Jeff being aligned.

1:05PM BBT:  Jessie joins them upstairs.  He grabs some blankets and says that all the athletes are still here.  Russell says they'll all make it to the jury house and Jessie says let's keep it that way.  He leaves and Russell doesn't understand Jessie' attitude and Jeff says it's because he doesn't have any power now.  Jeff says the true person you are is when you're at the bottom and now Jessie' true colors are shining.

Russell says he believes Lydia and Kevin are trying to downplay themselves and float by to the end.  Ronnie must be outside by the chess table,  because Russell says Ronnie probably knows he wants him out and wants to talk to him, but  Russell will just lie to his face like he has to him.

Russell asks who should he put up next to Ronnie and they agree it should be someone that people like, won't vote out,  and might vote for Ronnie if not on the block.  Russell suggests Lydia and Kevin, because they'd vote for Ronnie to stay and are in a 3 person alliance with Ronnie.

They watch Ronnie on the spy screen, as he's sitting by the chess table,  listening to others.  Jeff and Russell get up,  shake hands and Jeff leaves.  Russell calls Ronnie in.

1:10PM BBT:  Russell asks Ronnie who he should put up.  Ronnie suggests Kevin and Lydia because they're floating by in the game and making alliances with everyone.  They complain that Kevin threw the HoH competition. Ronnie makes fun of Kevin.

He then says he knows it's not his business what the deal was last night,  but Ronnie hopes Ron isn't apart of Jeff and Russell's deal because when he was HoH,  he saved Russell and how Laura,  Jeff,  Jordan and Casey were all in his ear to backdoor Russell.  Russell asks Ronnie if he ever told them he would backdoor Russell and Ronnie lies, saying absolutely not.

Russell tells Jeff how he's not going to stay up in the HoH room a lot this week.  He mentions how Jessie handled it,  staying up the whole time,  signaling to people to meet him upstairs, "wearing his key around his neck the whole time like his dick was 12 inches long."  . He said how he can't do that, "that isn't me."

As Jeff leaves the HoH room, he compliments Russell's rosary that he got, saying how it smells like roses.  Russell asked if he smelled it.  Jeff said, "No, but I have the same one at home that I got from the Vatican and it smells like roses."  Russell said his mom gave it to him and how he prayed on it last night.

Ronnie throwing Jordan under the bus and Ronnie saying how Jordan told Ronnie how Russell called him a "fat fuck" and Russell makes a face like he never said that. Ronnie says he knows that Russell was just talking shit because it was all a smoke screen.  Ronnie keeps pleading his case, saying he was never gunning for Russell and kept him safe.

1:15PM BBT:  Russell asks what Ronnie's deal is with Lydia and Kevin. Ronnie says he has nothing with them except friendship and he's staying away from them now because of what happened the other night. Russell then asks about Michele and Ron says Michele is trying to mend bridges with him and Chima. Ronnie says Michele doesn't talk too much game but did come to him and Chima, telling them she wants to stick with the brains.


1:20PM BBT:  Russell then asks about Chima and Ronnie says he loves Chima and thinks she's solid.  They then talk about Chima's story and how they were so touched by it.

He then asks about Natalie and Jessie together and Ronnie says he thinks they're great and that his allegiance is to Chima, Jessie, Natalie and Russell.

Then Jordan: Ronnie says he likes Jordan personally and was touched she didn't put him on Have-Nots this week, but knows he's a permanent enemy with Jeff and Jordan.

Now Lydia. Ron says personally, he likes Lydia and Russell says Lydia was upstairs throwing Ronnie under the bus, saying Ronnie wanted to BD Russell the who time and Ronnie says no, you can ask Chima.

Ronnie says he hasn't talked game with Lydia since week two when she was gunning after Laura.

Russell then asks Ronnie what was between him and Casey. Ronnie says it was a personal thing with Casey,  because he believes that,  as an educator,  you are to be the same person during the day as you are at night,  and Ronnie says that's how he and his wife are. Ronnie doesn't agree that Casey should be a teacher then be a DJ at night and how Casey would degrade women and promote underage drinking.

Russell then asks Ronnie about his 'lying' t-shirts and Ronnie says one he thought was funny and bought right before he came here and another one he's had for awhile, from his wife.

Russell asks Ronnie about him calling Russell a bully and Ronnie says he's never called Russell that and that Jeff,  Laura and Casey were the ones calling him that.  He then asks Ronnie again who he wants on the block and Ronnie says Kevin and Lydia. Ronnie says he'll never forget how Jessie and Russell stuck their necks out for Ronnie.

1:17PM BBT:  Ronnie and Russell continue talking in the HoH room.  Ronnie throws Jeff, Jordan,  Casey and Laura under the bus,  especially Jeff. .saying that they all wanted him out when Ronnie was HoH and Ronnie never ever said he would backdoor Russell (lies!).

Russell asked Ronnie about Michele..  He said that Michele is trying really hard to become friends again with Ronnie and Chima.   Ronnie doesn't trust Michele, but likes her more than he did.

Russell asked Ronnie about Chima.  He said he "Loves"  Chima,  that she is "solid," and she is a "Survivor" and Ronnie is touched by her story.

Russell asked Ronnie if he had a secret alliance with Kevin and Lydia and he says No they just talk general talk.

Russell asked about Jessie and Natalie.  Ronnie said his loyalty is with Jessie,  Natalie,  Russell, and Chima.  Everything he does supports that.

Russell really drilling Ronnie.

Russell asking bout Casey's speech. Ronnie said "dorkapotums"  Really? That's it?

 Russell asking Ronnie why do people say that you say I'm a bully and your wife we'll be mad at me.  Ronnie said,  "I NEVER said that." [Lies!]

Ronnie wants Lydia and Kevin up.  They are saying that they Lydia and Kevin are skating by,  getting gift, etc..

Russell asks Ronnie if he thinks Lydia is a bigger threat than Kevin and Ronnie says yes and how him and Jessie wants Lydia out this week.  [RED FLAG Russell!!!! -laladoopiedu]  Russell entertains the thought and says they'll be dividing the votes and Ronnie says you either pick one or put Lydia up with Michele,  because everyone will evict Lydia.  Ronnie says he and the team will vote how Russell wants and how Ronnie has voted with them every week.

Ronnie continues to push for Lydia, saying she's desperate. Ronnie says that if the PoV is used and Russell is forced to put up Ronnie because he doesn't have any other choices, he swears he's going home.  Russell says a lot of people like Ronnie and Ronnie says he'd end up going home.

1:35PM BBT:  Ronnie gets up to leave,  but not before repeating that Jeff, Casey, Jordan and Laura were all chirping in his ear to get Russell out, but since the second week,  Jeff did stop trashing Russell.

Ronnie leaves and Michele comes in.  She pitches Lydia and Kevin and how they were the first two to drop in the HoH competition and how Kevin has lied to her a bunch of times. She tells Russell how Kevin would lie about Ronnie to Michele. Russell then asks Michele her thoughts on all the HGs. Michele would prefer Kevin out.

He asks about Ronnie and Michele says Ronnie is still a manipulator. Russell says that Ronnie was just in the room and mentioned two people, and Michele was one of those people and Michele's not surprised. She then starts telling Russell all this stuff about Ronnie.

Russell lies about Ronnie, saying Ron wants Michele out this week because Michele wants Russell gone.

1:45PM BBT:  Russell asks Michele if it's Lydia and Ronnie,  who would she vote for.  She lays out points for both of them, but says if what Russell is saying is true,  she'd vote for Ronnie.  She asks if Russell and Ron had a deal and he says yes.  She replies she knew it and excited that she finally found out the truth.  Russell talks about teaming up with Michele and he's not after her.

2:00PM BBT:  Michele gets up to leave,  hugs Russell and tells him he has her vote.  Michele says they she was almost wrapped in an alliance and Russell tries to get it out of her. She says Natalie, Jessie, Chima and Ronnie and that she was forced to join because she saved herself last week.  Russell is asked who was at the head of it and she says Jessie and Ronnie and Russell is pretty shocked about this.

2:05PM BBT:  Russell goes downstairs,  then joins Kevin in the HoH room.  Russell gets some sushi from his fridge.  Kevin says he was touched by Russell' letter and his supportive family.

Russell asks Kevin what's on his mind and Kevin returns the question,  but Russell states it's Kevin's turn to speak his mind.  Kevin says that he's still loyal to the NBK.  Kevin wants to keep it simple and respects Russell actions as HoH and hopes it's not him.  Russell asks who Kevin would put up and he says Ronnie and Michele and Russell laughs,  and says that Ronnie was throwing Kevin under the bus.

(Russell if doing a good job at relaying info/lying to people about Ronnie to ensure their vote to get Ronnie out. -laladoopiedu)

Russell tells Kevin that Ronnie told him that Kevin was leading the idea to BD Russell and Kevin says no, Casey would back him up and how he didn't want Russell to be BD, but did sit in conversations with people discussing it.

Russell says Kevin is being vague and wants more details. Russell asks about the conversation Casey overheard (Kevin not knowing Russell heard, as well) and what Ronnie was saying about Russell. Kevin says Lydia and Ronnie were venting about certain things and nothing juicy was said and doesn't remember Russell's name being mentioned. Russell then asks if anything was said about Russell being mean and Kevin says probably, since Lydia has been pissed at Russell for a few things.

2:15PM BBT:  Downstairs in the bathroom, Ronnie is whispering to Chima. Ronnie says something about he told Russell that Chima was also in the room,  so Chima needs to have his back and Chima says she will. Ronnie is repeating his conversation with Russell to her.

2:21PM BBT: Kevin goes to the HoH room for his visit with Russell...

Kevin: "I never swear, but I swear on my boyfriend that I never discussed putting up people against Ronnie because I knew Ronnie can take anything and spin the shit out of it. I was nervous about talking about Star Wars with him."

Russell: "If Ronnie makes it to jury house he will still be playing the game.  He will give it to someone like Jessie,  Natalie,  Jordan,  Lydia or anyone else besides us four.  Ronnie will not give it to you, myself,  Jeff or Michele.  It's ego."

Russell: If I choose to not put you up will you do the same down the road?"
Kevin:  "If you promise to not put me up."
They shake hands on it

2:35PM BBT:   Kevin leaves and Jordan enters  Jordan said she was scared and doesn't know what the deal was he made.  Russell: "We made a deal to see one person gone. they have caused trouble between me and Jeff,  between me and you.  He is the one person that still lies.  I don't trust him.  With out him here it would be a different place.  Too much bullshit going on.  Does stuff I don't like.  Told Jeff I would not put you up either."  Russell says that they both want Ronnie gone,  and now it's a personal vendetta.   Russell says that he was the one who volunteered to Jeff that Jordan would be safe this week.  Jordan says that she would never put Russell up.  She swears to God and on her family,  that she would never put up Russell is she wins HoH.

2:42PM BBT:  Lydia is griping to Ronnie,  Jordan complaining about the bed in the doom room to Russell.  Lydia: you know what pissed Jeff off was that Jordan didn't put Ronnie on slop.

Ronnie: "I do not lie outside this house,  aside from that I am the same person outside as I am inside."  [That's a shame -Morty]  They go over who the odd vote was. and it was a sympathy vote each time. This is the season for crazy votes."

Lydia: "I had to run away from the squid. Squid is a pretty creature."

2:48PM BBT: Russell:  "I don't want to do this.  I hate doing this crap.  I don't mind but... "  Jordan:  "Enjoy it. Enjoy it. You're up here for a week."   Russell: "Till I find out Ronnie's a secret little fuck and that he screwed me."  Jordan: "Just don't think about it that way."  Russell: 'I don't even want to try to backdoor. because I don't want it to go wrong."  Jordan gets up to leave and Russell tells her not to say anything to anyone "especially Ronnie."

3:00ish BBT:  Lydia is talking to Russell about nominations:    
Lydia:  "I will save you and you can confirm that with Kevin."
Russell: "I'm not gonna approach them.  I just wanted to know who said it."
Lydia: "It was Jessie and Natalie.  Natalie said right after Jessie, yeah I would do it too but we cant go after him so Kevin,  Lydia,  Chima you have to go after him.   We cant go after our own team mate."
Russell : "And this was recently?"
Lydia:  "That was the week you thought everyone was going to backdoor you."

Lydia says she wants Ronnie or Michele out, but prefers Michele out.   Russell asks Lydia of Jessie, Chima, and Natalie, "Who should go?"  Lydia: "Natalie"
Russell: "That's not a smart thought."
Lydia: "Why?"
Russell: "She hasn't won anything.

Lydia:  "America loves the bitchy, the weirdo."
Russell: "They don't love me.  Everyone hates me."
Russell:  "So you saying I shouldn't trust Jessie and Natalie."
Lydia:  "I am not saying don't trust them just take what they say with a grain of salt.   ya know..  They all want to be your friend when it benefits them."

3:15PM BBT:  Lydia is STILL upstairs trying to throw Jessie and Natalie under the bus..
Russell: "Jessie's always around Natalie.  I'm not going to tag along,  hanging on to his fucking coat tails because he has been on the show before."
Lydia: "He knows what to do."
Russell:  "Like she's just star-struck and has a crush on him."
Lydia: "Fir sure!  But she does all these little Freudian slips.   Like... 'Oh Jessie, we're going to wake up at sex o'clock, I mean six.'   Grabbing at his balls all the time. commenting on like his nipples being hard.   Wearing his clothes...  because if I had a boyfriend or a girlfriend and I came in here and was doing that with some one ohhhh that would be a nonexistent relationship when I got home."

Russell mumbles.

Lydia: "And that's how she dresses at home.  She's 18 do you want a teenager to be the reason you went home."
Russell: "She is running Jessie's show.  They play off each other. I wonder who will be the first to challenge them."
Lydia: "You could be."
Russell:  "Well. .."  (quiet) 
Lydia: "This is what I would I do if I got HoH:  I am going to put up two bad guys that I want to go home.   That way one will go."

3:30PM BBT:  Most of the HGs are in the kitchen, happy talk.  Russ is watching them on the spy screen.

3:50PM BBT:  Jessie, Natalie, and Chima go to the HoH room.  Russell tells them he is putting Lydia up

4:02PM BBT: Lydia is in the shower, Michele is in bathroom getting ready. Ronnie returns to the HoH room with everyone to throw Lydia under the bus.. again.

Jessie just told Russell when these people come up he needs to have Jessie come up.   Jessie says he will camp out in HoH for Russell (I think so he will know what's happening)

Ronnie and Jessie are giving Russell HoH advice.  They tell him how it helped to discuss it with all of them (NBK) (same conversation over and over)

They figure nominations are in another 45 mins or so.  Jessie tells Russell he nominations should be easy,  just weed out the BS.  Jessie is Casey bashing... more of the same conversation over and over  .

Jordan is in the pool room putting on makeup. Don't see anyone else

5:30 - 6:25PM BBT:  FotH
6:25PM BBT:  The nomination results are in,  and just as Russell said, he nominated Lydia and Ronnie.

6:30PM BBT: Everyone except Lydia and Ronnie are gathered in the kitchen talking and laughing. It sounds like Russell put Lydia and Ronnie up as he said he would. [Hey, this is Big Brother, it's news when someone keeps their word. -Morty]

Russell says he almost put Jessie's key last to mess with him but he did Natalie instead.

Sounds like Russell told them he was there when they (Ronnie/Lydia) were talking, which justifies his nominations

Kevin and Lydia are talking in the red room.  He confirms Lydia and Ronnie are up.  Lydia says she doesn't forget who puts her up. Lydia and Kevin discusses who will vote for who.

Everyone else in the kitchen talking about cooking.  Natalie says she was surprised by Russell's speech.

Lydia saying that she doesn't think Jessie would use veto on her.  Kevin says he would,  Lydia says he would be the only one.
Kevin ask Lydia if she said anything to Russell that would warrant her going up,  she said no

Kitchen crew talking about Jordan saying "It's about time" when Ronnie went up.

6:50PM BBT:  In the kitchen,  the subject is squid,  and what to do with it.  Jessie says that this time around he's going to make it past week four,  "Unless one of you motherfuckers use the magic power on me and sends me out the door."

Talk turns to candy flavors. Chima says she doesn't like orange flavored candy,  Russell doesn't either.  Kevin says doesn't cherry candy,  it reminds him of cough syrup,  and Russell agrees.  Chima and Kevin both like grape flavored candy, then Russell says "It figures that the two black people in the house like grape, what a fucking stereotype."  [He's laughing hard as he says it.]  Chima:  "It seems like all the houseguests are racist today.  So where are you from again?"  Russell:  "Lebanon."  Chima: "Oh, the Middle East,   so you're a terrorist. "  FotH  [They were all joking but BB is so sensitive.] 

Seems Jessie made calamari, someone (Jeff I think) says it taste like rubber.  Natalie goes over to taste, and of course she thinks it taste great

7:40PM BBT:  Everything's quiet except for Jessie's bitching about America voting for him to eat squid and squash.  Jessie and Natalie are in the re-cycled room and Jessie tell her that it might be better to just cut their losses and vote out Ronnie.    Jessie says they can't go against Russell's wishes unless they win the secret power.   He  tells Natalie she can do whatever she wants on her own.  [That was nice of him to give her permission]  Natalie complains that the Have-Not room will hurt her performance in the PoV challenge.  

8:10PM BBT:  Chima and Jeff were talking to Lydia not Michele about the special power. I think Lydia is pretending to have the coup d'état .  Jeff and Chima going on with her.  Jeff saying, you need a back rub or anything. Chima joining in.  Jeff keeps asking when do we find out who has it!! Jeff says he is freaking out.  They are all joking around trying to get info from Lydia. 

Jeff says to Lydia, "Wow America loves you, why?"  Everyone laughs and sarcastically asks  "Why?"  Jeff says  "I guess it's your hair- Damn, I knew I should have had my hair like that. I wonder what place I came in."  Jeff gets called to the diary room and everyone starts laughing!!  Russell says they are gonna call everyone to the DR just to fuck with us

Jessie.  Natalie and Jordan are taking a nap.   Not sure where Ronnie is.  Kevin,  Chima,  Michele,  Lydia are in the kitchen. They want alcohol. Chima saying they don't want us requesting alcohol except in the DR.  

Lydia says if y'all keep Ronnie instead of me,  I will be furious.  Chima says you have nothing to worry about. Kevin says yeah,  you have nothing to worry about.

Kevin and Chima are talking about Ronnie (same ole thing so I won't type it)

8:30PM BBT:  Chima says when Jeff comes out of the DR, she is gonna go in (to ask for alcohol).  Chima now saying she is fat and has a "food baby" sticking out.  Kevin says he has learned when people say they are fat to say, "Yyeah,  you are. "  Chima says she is gonna have to push the "food baby" out later.

Lydia went up to HoH with Russell.  Russell ask her if she is pissed at him,  she says no,  it was predictable.   Lydia wants reassurance that she isn't going home.  Russell says he doesn't want her to go.  He said they only reason he put her up was because he knows she has the votes to stay. Russell going over the votes that she has.  Lydia says what if Jessie,  Jeff, Natalie or Chima really don't want Ronnie gone and he doesn't know.  Russell says no, because he told everyone he wanted Ronnie out and if they don't vote that way then he will know they are not in an alliance with him.  Lydia says yeah,  then I go home!!  Russell assures her she's not leaving.  He says he didn't put Kevin up because he knew she was stronger,  no offense to Kevin,  but Russell thinks she has a better chance to win PoV against Ronnie than Kevin.  Russell tells her there is no way she is going home.

8:36PM BBT:  Russell and Lydia are still talking in the HoH.  Lydia says "Who has the balls to put Natalie and Jessie up?  Not you! he says what Lydia says you asked earlier I wonder who has the balls to put them up and it's not you.  Russell says the are irrelevant right now and it has nothing to do with balls.  Lydia is thinking that Jessie and Natalie will vote to keep Ronnie.  Russell says no way.  They won't go against everyone right now for that guy,  it wouldn't be worth it to them.  Lydia says Ronnie told her something and Russell says not to talk to him.  He says you can't listen to someone on the block with you

Lydia says if she wins veto she will take herself off,  Russell says "really?" she says,  "Yeah really."    He says,  "Yeah okay I can see it."   Lydia ask who he would put up.  Russell says "I guess I could just put Jordan up again and tell her not to worry,  just to sit there and look pretty."   Lydia says are you sure you don't want me gone.  He keeps telling her he wants her here and not to worry.  He is saying over and over that he can't stand Ronnie and that's no secret to anyone.  He says again that he hates Ronnie.  Russell tells her he doesn't want her to be mad, she says she doesn't.

Russell tells her he was nervous about nom her because she freaks out.  He says,  'Do you know how scary you are when you are mad?"  She says" I'm not scary."  Russell offers her a beer and Lydia points out that she thinks Ronnie got more beer when he was HoH.

Russell says if Ronnie makes it to the jury house,   Lydia, Michele or any of them would win the game.  He tells Lydia he wants him out!

Now they are speculating about the HoH competition and what it will be.

Lydia's ask Russell how big 42 inches is.  She says she has a really old 12 inch TV that she stole from her ex boyfriend.

Talk now turns back to getting Ronnie out (talking in circles) All 4 feeds on this conversation

8:53PM BBT: FotH

8:56PM BBT:  Back from FotH  Feeds on Kevin,  Chima,  Jeff,  Michele in living room on couches chatting Ronnie in there with in in the chair.  Kevin is telling a story about going somewhere and people gawking at you and says he know how women feel.  Chima telling about going to a disco club.  They are having a bunch of different conversations (hard to follow)

9:04PM BBT: BB announces the indoor LD is over.  They walk out and can't  get over that it's already 9:00

9:10PM BBT: Lydia and Russell just finished their conversation in HoH.
Jeff outside alone at the moment smoking.
Kevin/Lydia now playing pool.

Michele and Ronnie talking in the pool room about wanting alcohol.  Ronnie tells Michele that he would like to talk to her whenever she wants. Ronnie says "I will answer any questions you want." Michele says OK

Russell now in with Jessie/Natalie and Jessie says if Lydia wins PoV what's the plan, he says he'll put Kevin up. Jessie says that's worse case.  They talk about Ronnie is gonna go around campaigning and no one wants him here so it shouldn't do any good.

Ronnie tells Michele when he ask Natalie if he could lay in her bed,  Natalie says sure.  He says Lydia was working on her trash suit.  Ronnie says he will have to paraphrase what happened because he could have mixed up some of the order of things.  Michele says I get  you're not a tape recorder.  Ronnie says Lydia asks if he had a deal with Jessie,  she told her no. He defined his idea of a deal and says I don't have a deal with them and never did.  Ronnie says Lydia then ask if he had a deal of any sort with Russell,  he tells her no. Michele is just going "hmm hmm."  Then he says Casey stormed in and started stuff.

Michele asking Ronnie about the time when Ronnie was telling her about something that Russell could never know about (I can barely hear them. BB is trying to turn up the volume-but I still can barely hear sorry. )

Ronnie says he will tell Russell what ever he needs to in order to stay.  Ronnie says he almost hopes that the veto isn't used,  cause he has three votes already,  Jessie,  Natalie and Chima is who he names.  Ronnie says Russell know he has Jessie,  Chima  and Natalie but he doesn't know I have you.  Ronnie says "You are the wild card, he doesn't know what you will do". Ronnie tells her that he set it up that way to protect her.  Michele tells him that her wishy-washyness is to his advantage.

Ronnie says Jessie,  Natalie knew Russell lied to them.  Jessie says to Ronnie that he knew Ronnie didn't lie to him.  Ronnie says that Russell doesn't know he has Jessie,  Natalie,  Chima.   Michele says well then why is Lydia walking around like she's staying.  Ronnie says because Russell probably told her she was a pawn.  Ronnie says again that no one knows about the Ronnie/Jessie/Natalie/Chima plan.  Michele with a lot of "hmmm..hmmmmm."

9:35PM BBT:  Ronnie is still going on about Russell trying to drive a wedge between Ronnie/Jessie cause he jealous of their friendship.  Ronnie says if it's his time,  it's his time. He will be a good sport about it.  Do his interviews, eat.. etc...

Ronnie says if he leaves, that Russell will flip to Jeff/Jordan/Lydia and Kevin and says then who will have the power?  Ronnie tells Michele that she/Jessie/Natalie/Chima would be the minority.  He reminds her that Russell doesn't really like her anyway cause she's smart.  Michele says she is going to get in the hot tub.  Ronnie goes to file his nails again.

BB calls Jeff to the DR, everyone yells "WIZARD!!"  They all laugh

Jordan/Lydia and Kevin are discussing the veto and who they want to play.  Lydia says she would want Jeff to play.  They says they think they should leave it the same otherwise Ronnie may not go.  Lydia says she only has Jordan/Jeff/Kevin, and Michele is the wild card.  She says she thinks Jessie/Natalie/Chima may vote her out.

Russell and Chima in HoH talking.  Russell says he wants Ronnie out.  Chima ask about voting Lydia out and he says he has no problem with Lydia being voted out but he wants Ronnie out first.  Chima seems to be pushing for Ronnie to stay.  She asks Russell why he wants Ronnie out so bad.  So off Russell goes on the reasons.  He lied to him, he insulted his religion by swearing on the Bible about the conversation that he overheard and knows Ronnie was lying and he took it as an insult.  Russell says he doesn't trust him at all.  [Russell's really adamant about his feeling toward Ronnie.]   Chima says "I know but I don't trust Lydia!" 

Chima naming off reasons why Ronnie should stay-none of which benefit Russell.  She is naming all the good things he has done for her. (it's the same things that have been said already)  Russell points out that she is being a advocate for Ronnie.  She says no, just devils advocate.

10:00PM BBT: Chima in the HoH bed with Russell. She was campaigning hard for Ronnie a while back, and Russell was getting angry as he sipped his beer.

Just now, they were discussing racism, specifically Braden, and Chima admitted that she blew it out of proportion. They spoke about Don Imus and what he said that got him into trouble.  [He referred to the Rutgers girls basketball team as "nappy-headed hos."]  Chima said that even though he said it, she doesn't think it defines him.  And the same with Braden.

In the backyard, Jeff and Jordan again hoping that one of them will win the Magic Power.

Almost every time someone gets called to the diary room, other people yell "Wizard", making fun of them going in there to collect their magic powers. Funny stuff.

10:50PM BBT:  Chima and Russell are still talking in the HoH room.  The topics have covered race and what type of women Russ likes.   [BTW, he's not looking for some that just flatters him and goes along with everything he says.  He wants a girl with "a backbone" and those without one don't interest him.]  They discussed whether Jessie is really interested in Natalie, Russell says,  "But she's only 18!"  Chima:  "That's only a five year difference,  I went out with a guy that much older than me."  [In reality,  Natalie is actually older than Jessie.] 

11:00PM BBT:  Ronnie's campaigning to Natalie.  Then Natalie goes to test the water in Kevin's end of the pool.  I actually sounds like she's just making sure no one's gunning for her. 

11:25PM BBT:  Jessie tell Russell he's onboard with getting Ronnie out this week,  and next week  Jessie wants to get rid of Kevin.  As they were talking about Kevin,  Natalie comes in to give her report on Kevin's conversation with her.  The subject was mainly to announce that he will remain loyal to Lydia.

12:35AM BBT:  Kevin, Jordon, Lydia and Jeff talking outside about the "power" and who might get it.  They are afraid it may be Ronnie that gets the power.

12:40AM BBT:   Ronnie and Michele are talking about mystery power.  Ronnie says he keeps asking production about it.  Natalie has now joined the pool room.  Ronnie tells them some sob story without details about losing all his friends and only having two left when he was Natalie's age (the age she claims to be).  Lydia has joined the room.  Natalie leaves.  Ronnie and Michele are alone again.  Ronnie telling Michele that he hopes that that if the nominations stay the same she votes to keep him.   Ronnie infers that that Natalie,  Chima, and Jessie will vote to keep him.  (Natalie briefly said to Michele that she hopes that she sticks to the plan.)  Sounds like Michele is waiting until PoV to decide what she's going to do.

Jessie reads the instructions on the preparation of slop,  he asks Michele, "What's this word mean, V-I-S-C... visco-sity?"  Michael say's it's "viscosity."  [Amused me because he pretends to have such a scientific knowledge things.  -Morty] 

1:20-1:27AM BBT:  FotH  [What could they be doing?]  In the HoH room the conversation is still who Jessie needs to get of next week when he's HoH.  Both Chima and Jessie want Jeff and Jordan out.  Chima:  "But next week could be Jeff's week [to win HoH] unless it's a spelling bee."  They're concerned that if they put up Jeff that he'll win PoV, or worse,  he could win the mystery power. 

1:30AM BBT:  In the red room,  Jordan,  Jeff, Kevin, and Michele are talking about slop.  Chima and Jessie are still talking about the coup d'état,  thinking that Jordan will get it.  Chima claims they are portraying them at "the bad people." [There is no "portraying" on the live feeds, it's all raw and unbiased,  Watch Big Brother on SuperPass! and see it all.]  Chima saying no one remembers the first six or seven people who are out.  Jessie saying when Jerry was votes how Texas was blocked from voting?  Talk about Renny, that Chima and Renny would clash.  Russell is in the room (must of been in bathroom). Now just general chit chat about weight.  Russell still complaining about hand blisters.

Switch to F2 finds Natalie and Michele playing pool.  She is really pushing about voting out Lydia.  Natalie says if she wins PoV she would not use it.  And says no one should take anyone off.  Tells Michele in her opinion if Michele wins, not to use it.  Michele tells her she thought she was part of team.  Natalie sweet talking that you are part of the team to help each other.  Michele asked Natalie to promise that Ronnie is not saying he wants her out.  Natalie saying they are waiting till after PoV what they are going to do.  And don't tell anyone how your going to vote.  They want to see how good Lydia will play to save herself. Natalie say Lydia plays HoH and has made up stories about people.  Natalie saying she still doesn't know how she will vote,  but the best for Michele to stick with the group.

It sounds like Jessie has run out of current HGs to trash,  so he starts on Renny Martyn from last season.  Later Russell trashes "Ben," Laura's boyfriend. They make fun of her saying,  "This is my dress for the final two..."  [The RUTT is getting pretty bad,  I liked Russ a lot better last night when he was reading the letter from his father about sportsmanship and being "humble in victory."  -Morty] 

1:50AM BBT:  It's supposed to be a game of pool,  but it sound more like Natalie interrogating Michele.  They're suspicious of Russell because they just found out that Russell had snuck food up to Ronnie when the house turned against him. 

Back to HoH and they are talking about America getting to vote.  Russell feels he doesn't like America being able to vote.  Jessie says America only gets to vote through an America's Player.  Chima seems to know that America can vote without a player.  Jessie's crying about how he was evicted he feels it was Memphis/Renny/Keesha family and friends that voted to keep Memphis and he only had his friends so he was out numbered.  Chima feels Jessie was portrayed last year different that he is.  Jessie still rehashing Renny/Jessie fight.  Still feels Renny wasn't sorry at 4:30 in the morning. [Let it go Jessie! -SueZqueZ]

Back to talking about how America sees them as bullies.  They feel they are the smart athletic ones., "America shouldn't fuck with us."  That the others aren't smart and don't know how to form themselves into a group. Jessie leaves HoH,  Chima asks to use HoH Bathroom to shower and Russell says "NO."  .Chima says "WHAT?"  He says "NO, I'm going to bed."  They continue to talk about how funny Kevin can be.  A lot of flirty conversation about others in the house as they watch spy screen.

2:00AM BBT:  In the BY Jessie has joined Michele and Natalie playing pool.   Jessie now playing Michele., who says Natalie just let her win three games.  No game talk as of yet, though Michele tried to pull some out of Jessie.  Now Jessie is pulling out info from Michele.  They are throwing out Kevin and Lydia's game play and how they lie so much and how they are kissing Jeff and Jordan's ass.  Michele knows she is the deciding vote.  Michele saying Jeff has never had her back and she will never have his.  They are now talking how Ronnie couldn't do good in that competition, though he tried to say he threw it.

Michele saying it is exhausting being friends with sooooo many people all of a sudden.  She knows she is going to piss a lot of people off this week one way or the other. (I can't figure this chick out!!)  Now talking about America's vote what it really is.  Before  "We'll be right back" they were starting to discuss the PoV...

Jessie wants to keep Russell happy but... how does Michele see it... she says she wants to believe Ron, but she doesn't feel... FotH
OK feeds on then off, did catch Jessie saying he has no problem voting Ronnie out, but,  and Michele said yeah,  clearly when it gets to Q&A about trivia and events and such, Ronnie will be, "F-U guys! I got this!"  Jessie says,  "Yeah, but... then."  FotH [Chima and Russell are discussing the use of the 'N-word' and Chima keeps breaking out in song,  so we're getting so many FotH tonight.]  

2:30AM BBT:  Natalie and Jessie talk about who they'll vote out over a game of pool.   Jessie says they don't want Jeff mad at them if he wins the mystery power. Jessie thinks it'll be  either Jeff or Jordan. 

2:55AM BBT: Finds Jessie and Natalie in bathroom,  Jeff enters, they tell him they always know it's him by his loud walk,  Jeff "Really, I think it's cause I walk on the heels of my feet"...  

In HoH Russell and Chima still flirty, and Chima starts to make up songs. FotH

Feeds back, Jeff has dropped pants to show sores and bing,  there's Kevin too!  They are laugh about it.  Kevin and Jeff leave

HoH Russell is really trying to get Chima to leave... "Alright I'll leave!"  Yet she's still there.  Russell just starring at spy screen.  Now Chima beating Russell with pillows.  Jessie and Natalie whispering too low for me to hear

3:00AM BBT: Now Lydia and Kevin playing pool. Talking about why people are avoiding them. Kevin feels her and Lydia are two seperate minds, but Natalie/Jessie not as Natalie just goes along with Jessie. Lydia calls Jessie a ventriloquist  (guess that makes Natalie his lap dummy!)

3:15AM BBT:  Chima finally leaves the HoH room and Russ turns out the light to go to sleep. Lydia and Kevin are playing pool.  Chima, Natalie and Jessie are in the bathroom.
