On Monday night,  Chima was talking in her HoH room.  Before they could go to FotH,  Chima let it slip that production has been trying to get a commitment from her that if the mystery power is used on Thursday's show,  that she will not 'Go off."   IMHO, this means they expect the coup d'état to be used as we expect,  to take Russell and Lydia down,  and put up Natalie and Jessie.  It also indicates that CBS has no clue how to get press.  If I was in charge,  I'd notify the affiliates that Big Brother may run overtime (just like a live sports event) and I'd let it play out, with Chima 'going off.'   I think it's time for headlines like:  "For the first time in Big Brother's ten year history, security had to be sent into the Big Brother house to pull an hysterical black women off a salesman from Chicago." 

7:35PM BBT:  All the little hamsters are sleeping...
9:30AM BBT:  Still sleeping...
9:35AM BBT:  BB:  "Good morning houseguests, it's time to get for the day."  Michele gets up and changes her batteries.  Jordan and Kevin, Lydia are up.  9:40AM:  FotH Russ went back to bed,  Chima is up in the HoH room.   BB:  "Jessie, Kevin Lydia, the bedroom lights must remain on during the day."  I guess Kevin and Lydia went back tom sleep too.  Chima is taking a shower.
10:30AM BBT: From what they're showing us, everyone is asleep except Chima.
10:55AM BBT: An outdoor LD is called.  11:00AM;  Everyone is outside sleeping except Chima,  who looks bored.  11:05AM Russ is doing laundry. Jessie starts mumbling to her,  she giggles, but I can't decipher what he's saying.  Chima thinks BB is just trying to wake everyone up. 
11:20AM BBT:  LD over
11:55AM BBT:  BB calls an indoor LD.
12:20PM BBT: Chima in HoH bathroom, Russell in the kitchen Chima comes down to kitchen-nothing said between them
Jeff called to DR Jeff: "We on lockdown?"
Russell: "Yeah, they could be building a city."
Jeff: "But when you go out, nothing's changed."
12:23PM BBT: Chima sitting at counter eating.
12:50PM BBT: Jeff, Chima, Michele, and Jordan wonder if they'll be on LD the rest of the day.
2:00PM BBT: Jordan is sweeping under the dining room table as Michele moves the chairs.  Lydia is in the green room, looking very sad and playing with her stuffed unicorn.

2:05PM BBT:  Natalie has joined Lydia and they appear to be sleeping. Jessie is alone in the kitchen, making some food.

3:02PM BBT: Natalie and Jessie are on the hammock talking to Chima. Natalie asks him what he's thinking about, "That I may not be here tomorrow." Natalie gets annoyed that all their discussions come back to this.
Jordan and Jeff inside cooking.
3:10PM BBT: Chima gets her HoH camera.  She says she's taking pictures of what the house will look like tomorrow (without Russell).

3:45PM BBT: Russell still in pool while everyone else moves upstairs to take pictures.
4:45PM BBT: Russell is outside folding laundry. Chima, Kevin, and Jordan are making tacos for the "haves." Michele picked tomatoes from the garden outside. Natalie has started the Russell bashing and how everything is more peaceful when he's not involved like today during the pictures and last night during the game. Meanwhile, Jessie is taking a shower and Jeff is chit chatting with him in the bathroom. Lydia is testing her slop bars from the oven. Lydia caught the hot pad on fire  FotH

4:55PM BBT: Jessie is done with his shower and admiring his muscles while lotioning up. Chima thanks Jordan and Kevin for helping her make the tacos.

5:10PM BBT: Indoor LD FotH
5:17PM BBT: Happy Halfway Houseguests!  Congratulations Houseguests, you've made it halfway through Big Brother 11,  and halfway to $500,000.  Tonight  you'll be rewarded with a party.  BB will be playing music, so the party can not be shown on the live feeds.  Congratulation live feed updaters,  you've made it halfway through another season.  You'll be rewarded with this brief break from watching Jessie looking at himself in the mirrors. 

7:30PM BBT: Party over.  The Have-Nots got to eat too.  Jeff says he was full after just one slice of pizza because his stomach has shrunk. 

8:15PM BBT:  In the pool room with Jordan, Michele, Jeff and Russ,  the subjects are, pee holes, and butt sex.  Michele can explain sexual topic from either a clinical point of view,  or her own kinky experiences (when rats are on drugs,  and there are no females in the cage, sometimes they hump each other,  just like in prison). 
.
9:00PM BBT:  It's bedtime already in the pool room. 
9:04PM BBT:  In the HoH room,  Kevin gets us FotH for singing one of the sesame street songs.  When they come back we hear Chima saying she's going to write herself some little kiddy song to make bank on it.

Lydia and Chima talking about how Jordan looks less put together than she used to. They think she's just not putting the effort in.

They're still planning their next moves.  They want to put up Jeff and Jordan next.  Chima wants Jordan out because she thinks if Jeff and Jordan make it to final two,  everyone will vote for Jordan,  and Chima thinks she doesn't deserve to win. 

Everyone's awake again,  i think BB shook the hamster cage so there would be something to show on Big Brother After Dark. 

[Some more opinion:  This could be an odd jury this season.  Natalie says that if Jeff uses the "wizard power" that no matter what else happens in the game,  she would never vote for him to win.   Chima wants a girl to win,  no matter what,  well unless the girl is Jordan.   Jessie's made it to the jury this year,  unless she's final two.  Jessie's still bitter about America voting him out last season,  and I can't see him voting for Jeff,  when America helped him.  This could be a bitter jury.  -Morty]   

9:30PM BBT:  Flashback Alert:  9:30PM BBT Feed 1:  With Real player and the live feeds,  you can "Flashback"  to any point in BB11 history.   Watch Big Brother on SuperPass!  Jessie walks into the pool room to find Russell and Michele in deep conversation.   Russell says:  "What's the problem right now? When you were in my position didn't you try anything?"  Russell telling Jessie he's going to tell Michele everything, right now.  Jessie says what about what you were saying last week?  "That Michele's cuckoo,  she's crazy.  Laughing at her, in her face." Russell says,  "What about last week with Ronnie - who stopped him from pouring a bowl of water on her?"  Jessie tells Michele that the person filling your head with shit right now is the person who hated you last week.

Michele verifying that Jessie has never pretending to be her friend.  Russell says, "What did you come in here to say, that was so profound?"  Russell saying,  "You walk around here like your shit doesn't stink.  I'm on the block.  What do I care?  She knows I said those things to her face, she knows what I've said.  What does it matter?  You're saying I'm trying to pump her full of crap but how do you know what I said was true or not?  How do you even know what I said?"

Michele says why don't we all stop fighting? And walks out. They keep going over whatever it was that was 'profound' (Russell saying Michele is cuckoo) or Ronnie being egged on.  Russell said he was better at everything than Jessie. Russell says, "Do you want to go for pound for pound?  Don't walk in here like you are all godly all mighty."

Jessie says, "Entertain me? You've got one little straw to stand on."  They are right in each others faces.  Russell says,  "Pound for pound I can knock you out."   Jessie tells Russell to keep his bed warm because it's the last night he's going to sleep in it.  Jessie yelling stuff and Russell yells  "WWE is in the house right now.".  They are kind of laughing - Russell says love it, you've been working on the acting.  Jessie did a WWE announcer bit.  Jessie says you're in a tight squeeze.  "I'm sorry Dude, you're in a tight squeeze." Jessie says "You've got third place."   Russell says "What do you mean?"  Jessie says you made 20k.  Russell says third place is 25k.  Jessie keeps apologizing and then recaps their little blow up." You're a fighter, you're right in my face and then no you didn't, you pull a pose." Uproarious laughter!  [I think you'll see Jessie using psychology to completely turn this situation around.  Jessie was laughing his ass off,  it looked totally fake,  and Russell didn't know  what to make of it,  but it defused the situation.  -Morty]

Jessie was never in any danger of getting clobbered,  his little pit-bull  was in earshot and would have come to his rescue.  Natalie says that Russell messed it up for them when he went against the group and put up Ronnie. 

10:10PM BBT:  Russell blows it again by throwing Michele under the bus and telling Jessie that he has Michele's vote.   Now Jessie knows that Michele isn't loyal to the girl's alliance.  Russell shows Jessie is whole hand.  Russell tell him he's got Jeff and Jordan's vote.  "What did you tell them?"  Jessie asks.  Russell tells him that he just told Jeff that he was true to his word last week,  and since he's not on "their side" anyway,  why not do him a solid.  [I can tell this is going to add to Jessie's paranoia about Jeff using the power.  -Morty]  

10:20PM BBT: Chima is having her Russell bashing session with Jordan in there listening.  Natalie says he knows "100%" that Russell is not getting her or Jessie's vote.  Kevin says he told Russell "no way" he's voting...

Jessie goes up to the HoH and tells them everything.  Michele apologizes for leaving the pool room and Jessie says, "He's playing the game."  Michele says Russell tried to get her vote but she's not voting for him...

Natalie cuts in and brings up the Ronnie eviction.  Michele tells them Russell told her she was being gunned by them,   and Michele says he says they need to keep him because "he's the biggest target" and good to keep him.

10:25PM BBT: Michele goes on about Russell   Jordan says that Russell told her that he had Jessie/Natalie vote and was told about not to ask them.  They discuss their goodbye messages. There's more Russell bashing as Jessie and Natalie Chima spearheading the execution of Russell on Thursday.  Chima, "He done it to himself."

Jordan says Russell told her she'll get "6th place." and they need him to stay to get Russell out of the house..

10:29PM BBT: "He wants to go out with a bang." Chima says. Jessie telling them "I'm better than you' and anything he's done "in your entire life" and Chima "wow"

10:30PM BBT: Russell bashing... Jeff is in the green room thinking.

11:15AM BBT:  Everyone is trying to go to sleep. 

11:20PM BBT:  My dream of them going to sleep early was dashed to bits almost as fast as I could type it.  The HGs remained up until 2:00AM bitching and farting.
