8:45AM BBT:  Casey and Russell have started their day.  Casey tells Russell that he's concerned that Lydia tells too many people everyone's business.  This is a concern that Casey has brought up to Lydia several times, and a general theme of conversations he's had before.  Russell says that Lydia is his next target for eviction,  followed by Laura and Chima.  The also talk about Ronnie telling everyone too much.  [And he really does.  Ronnie tries to be everywhere to hear everything, and then he runs around telling everyone what he heard.] Russell calls Ronnie "the rat of the house."

Casey tells Russell that Ronnie told him that when he talks to other HGs, it’s not about the game.  Casey says he told Ronnie not to piss in his ear and tell him it’s raining.  They joke that Ronnie has an upside down smile.  Casey says he hates talking about other people and Russ agrees, but says he needs to laugh in the house.  Russell says Ronnie would be his number four (to be out the house).

9:15AM BBT:  Russell and Casey are on the patio and continue their analyses of the HGs personality traits and flaws.  [It's not just the usual bashing,  they're really doing a good job defining people.] 

Casey says Chima bugs the fuck out of him.  He hates how Chima tells jokes about people and laughs it off.  He says that there's a nugget of truth in everything and Chima means that stuff.  Russ says that Chima just wants to be liked.

Russell goes inside to refill their coffee cups.  Russ comes back and asks Casey if he wants to hear something funny.  Russell says he and Jessie were in the SR the other day and as Jessie went to open the door,  he almost cracked Lydia's face,  as Lydia,  Laura and Braden were all on their hands and knees,  trying to listen to their conversation.  [Russ was NOT in the SR with Jessie--it was Ronnie.  Russell didn't even believe this story when he first heard it. -laladoopiedu] 

Russell asks for Casey's hit list,  Casey says, "The brains, the populars and Natalie."

9:30AM BBT:  Ronnie's up. 

9:45AM BBT:  BB:  "Good morning houseguests.  It's time to get up for the day."

Russell's jogging around the BY.  Already,  it's 81°F, clear, Humidity: 42% with the high today around 95°F.  Traffic is slow on Van Nuys Blvd to 134 Ventura Frwy/170 Hollywood Frwy.  in beautiful downtown Burbank. 

Lydia cut up her "Outcasts" t-shirt and made a better skimpy shirt.

10:30AM BBT:  Everyone is up and most are outside,  except for Jessie, who is still in bed with the covers over his head.  The cameraman keeps panning over Ronnie's large pasty-white belly,  man-boobs and butt-crack.  [I've seen some of these cameramen,  and they have no right making of others.] 

Casey asked Russell about his education.  Russell has a degree in finance and worked for Merrill Lynch before turning to commercial real estate.  Braden says he's lived in a Santa Monica beach house for the last seven years.  He said his rent was only $2,000 a month.  He walked out on his lease to be on BB.  After BB, Braden is considering going to Australia for a while,  or maybe back to China where he worked as a model.   He says they treat white people really well there,  and there are a lot of billionaire businessmen there. 

11:30AM BBT:  Braden, Chima and Russell talk about how much they "Family Guy" and the brilliance of Seth MacFarlane.   

12:15PM BBT:  Lydia and Kevin talk about their favorite cartoons.  Lydia is a big Domo fan,  when she was young she was into Sailor Moon.

12:45PM BBT:  Lydia tells Kevin about the relationship she was in that drove her to a suicide attempt last December.   She said that she took a handful of pills but threw them up.

12:50PM BBT: Flashback Alert! Feed 1:  Set your Real Player Flashback to 12:50PM Feed One  Braden confronts Lydia, "Thank you for selling me out to your friends."  Lydia, "Like I could do anything?"  Braden: "So go get another tattoo, get one on your ass, that says 'I got Braden evicted.'"  Kevin:  "It was actually my idea to put you up."   Braden:  "That's fine you can go get a tattoo on your cock."   Kevin:  "You are so full of shit,  everything you say is bullshit.  Don't you know you're the fucking joke of the house?"   Braden:  "And you know what you are, you're a Mexican from San Diego.  You're a fucking beaner!"   Lydia:  "Go ahead, call me a skank and a whore,  but do not even disrespect his culture that way!"  Kevin:  "But you don't even know what I am. I'm not a beaner."

Now everyone from the kitchen is at the door to see what all the yelling is about.  Chima:  "Did he call someone a nigger?"  Lydia:  "No he said beaner."  Kevin:  "But I'm not even Mexican."  By the time Lydia was recounting the fight,  she was saying that Braden called her a skank and a whore,  but he never did,  they were her words. 

It was a brief explosion,  but it got the whole house stirred up. 

1:10PM BBT: Flashback Alert! Feed 1: Set your Real Player Flashback to 1:10PM Feed One   In the kitchen Lydia is now in a screaming fight with Jeff.  Jeff saying he didn't know Lydia was going up on the block so he never had a chance to defend her.  Kevin jumps in and says Jeff did know she was going and didn't do anything. 

Braden tells Russell that he calmly went over to Lydia and Kevin that he knew before veto that they were talking lies to the HoH.  Braden says he knew before PoV that he was going up.  Natalie is questioning how Braden knew before PoV that he was going up.  She is trying to get him to say who told him that he was going up.

Inside Lydia is telling Jeff to stop having Jordan fight his battles.  Now they are going back and forth in regards to Jeff knew she was going to go on the block. Kevin is saying that he heard Jeff say that he knew Lydia's name was getting tossed around to go on the block.  Jeff says that Jordan's name was never mentioned about going up on the block.  Jeff is upset that Lydia is saying that he had the chance to defend them when Jessie wanted to put them up.  Jeff is saying that he did not know that was his opportunity to defend them from going on the block and that it was a 30 second discussion.  Kevin asks Jeff that if he was HoH he is putting Jordan up and he guarantees Jeff will tell her.  Jeff asks if he is being serious.  Jeff asks Lydia if she really thinks that he does not give a shit about her.  Lydia says she does not think he does. Lydia says he could have gone back up there and defended her but he didn't.  Lydia says he never even told her about her possibly going up. Jeff says he swears to God that he didn't know she was actually going up.

Shouting continues between Lydia and Jeff.  Lydia is screaming at Jeff saying she should have done something to prevent it.  Kevin says that it's Bullshit that Jeff did not do anything when Lydia's name was mentioned.  Jeff yells at Lydia and tells her she sold everyone out to save herself.

Jordan walks in and Kevin tells her he threw her name out to be nominated but he did not mean it.

Kevin tells Jeff that he is hanging out with a bigot.  Jeff tells Kevin that he thought they were going to have another meeting.  Kevin says he put his neck out for Jeff and that Jeff should have stepped in when Braden was throwing bad names out. Lydia screams from the bathroom that she is part Mexican.  Lydia asks Jeff if he would defend Jordan if Braden called her a skank or a slut like he called her.  Jeff says he would. Lydia screaming that by the end of the day he'll be outside with Braden, "all like buddies." 

1:20PM BBT: Fighting continues...  Jeff says that he only has one friend in the house and that's Jordan.  Kevin tells Jeff that Jordan is going to get evicted because of Jeff.  Kevin tells Jeff that Jeff never talks to him.  Jeff says that he thought they were cool and asks should they have a sit down. Kevin tells him that's bullshit and not right now.

Lydia tells Jeff that he puts more effort into other people in the house rather than his own team. Jeff tells Lydia that she flipped and screwed him. That he had her the votes but she flipped and screwed him.

Kevin tells Jeff that he was on team Jeff but his actions speak louder than words. Kevin keeps telling Jeff that he is going to go hang out with the bigot. Jeff says he was on team Lydia. No matter what the situation is now he was on her team and that his actions were true. He also says he wanted to save her that's why he tried to recruit the votes.  Jeff says he just came in to defend Jordan.

1:25PM BBT:  Flashback Alert!  Set your Real Player Flashback to 1:25PM Feed One to See a Big Fight between Jordan and Lydia. 
Natalie, Kevin, Lydia and Jessie

Now in the HoH room Natalie tells Lydia Jeff never had the votes to keep her.  Lydia says that Braden said you will be out either next week or the week after.  Natalie says if you were with them you would...  Lydia quotes Kevin when he said Jeff said tuna was more important than saving Lydia. Natalie is saying that next week will be so easy as to who to put up. (They are talking about Jeff and Jordan) unless one of them win it. Kevin is saying he wished Braden had thrown something at him to make him look worse.

1:33PM BBT:  Braden comes into the HoH room and says that the racist comment was irrelevant because he grew up in a Mexican town. Lydia and Kevin tell him they are done with him and walk out of HoH.  Braden tells Natalie that she is much more mature than either of them combined.  Natalie says that she really has not said anything bad about him but unfortunately his name was thrown under the bus because someone else wanted off the block.

1:35PM BBT: Jordan and Lydia are in a screaming fight in plush room.  Lydia tells Jordan to stop fighting Jeff's battle.  Jordan says she did not do anything to Lydia and she needs to stop making her look like a bad person. Lydia is telling Jordan to stop yelling. Jordan says she is not calm. Jordan tells her she had the votes but made the veto be used. Lydia says she did not have the votes. Lydia says Jeff validated everything in regards to them getting put on the block.  Lydia apologizes for

Here's an off-topic video featuring Braden Click here to see pictures of Braden on Dante's Cove (Warning: Full Frontal Nude!)

attacking her and making her feel like she did something wrong. Kevin says Jeff did something wrong and it appears that Jordan is right in line with him. Kevin also tells Jordan if she hangs out with Braden they will be made at her. It looks like she condones that type of behavior if she hangs with Braden. Lydia and Kevin are telling Jordan she is taking the heat because of Jeff. Jordan says she knows. Kevin is telling Jordan she is to innocent. Lydia tells Jordan that she was upset that she cried because Braden went up but didn't cry when Lydia went up and they were suppose to be so close. Lydia tells Jordan she needs to stop taking up for him. He needs to make his own friends. Jordan says she is not going to stop talking to Jeff just because the fight with Jeff. Kevin is saying Jordan needs to distance herself from Braden and Jeff to help keep the target off of her.  Kevin says that Braden lies 24/7. Kevin is telling Jordan she is going to get burned and that if she hangs out with Braden he is not going to like her.

Kevin tells Jordan she should spend more with some of the other HGs, because if she hangs out with Braden then he won't be cool with him because it means she condones his racist attitude.

1:50PM BBT:  Things are calming down.  Braden is re-telling his story to Jessie in the HoH (he's spinning it a bit), Jordan is alone in the hammock crying,  Jeff and Kevin are still talking about Lydia's nomination, but they're calm. 

3:00PM BBT:  Over the last hour, everyone's been apologizing to each other and calming down.  Some apologies were accepted better than others,  and the contenders from the main event (Lydia vs. Braden,  Braden vs. Kevin) have just gone to neutral corners. 

4:45PM BBT:  Everyone's lounging outside, Jessie's been horsing around in the pool, and every so often BB has to say, "Knock it off."  or "Stop doing that."  Earlier,  Ronnie had some problem with Michele.  Although I missed the original confrontation (if there even was one), he's been telling everyone Michele said she'd nominate him for eviction,  however they are both from the same clique so she can't. 

Help! Send In Marvin!

This season they found a pretty good group of people,  but no one with a sense of humor like  Big Brother 5's Marvin Latimer.  Marvin entertained us with his frank, down-home philosophy that we called "Marvinisms."  When he heard Jase worked as Brad Pitt's double, Marvin set the record straight, 'He doesn't look like Brad Pitt, more like arm pit." "I get tired of hearing all the sad ass stories around here. Everyone has one just like an asshole and a watch." "I'm as cool as the other side of the pillow." “I want to be the black Brad Pitt – Barbecue Pit” “I’ve got more angles than a geometry book.” "When they haven't told you who's ass is going up on the block, it's yours." "I trust him like I'd trust OJ with a knife." Marvin speaking of Jase: "He's lower than the balls on a frog." "I ain't never gonna win no sweepstakes...I done used up all my prayers on eating in here."

5:00PM BBT:  Chima, Lydia, Michelle and Laura in the BR. Lydia changing hair styles - again. They talk about there not being any steak or eggs left and asking for more food as they are running out.  Michelle fixing her make up. 

In the BY, Ronnie, is sitting near the Hot Tub talking at Natalie and Casey . Telling them about his evenings with his wife and how important it is to marry your best friend, because you're going to be with them the rest of your life. Natalie talking to Casey about how she doesn't even know how to put on make up , as a fighting girl it's just not her thing. She went and got her done and her make up done for a special event but she's just not like that.

On the patio Jeff is sharing about his family, his grandparents both just passed on, he had four brothers in the suburbs of Chicago and his parents are still together,  like the Cleavers (ha ha).  Describing what each of his brothers do.  He's closest to his middle brother.  Natalie is in the background saying she's missing out on "dress up" outside.

5:40PM BBT:  All four feeds on Jeff and Casey in BY talking about how in the heat of the moment, everything you have told someone can come out. Casey says you just have to be careful what you tell everyone.

Casey says trust is a commodity around there.  Jeff says he doesn't feel the need to tell every little detail about everything he knows.  Jeff says he was asked all this crap about the "what ifs", he says what if "fucking Martians came in?" [Pretty Funny] 

Casey tells Jeff he feels like he can tell him something without it being told in the heat of the moment, then says there are fucking morons in the house. Jeff says he feels like he is taking crazy pills in here.

Jordan walks in and they tell her she looks beautiful

More rehashing of the argument earlier....

5:45PM BBT:  Jordan and Jeff rehashing the fighting, and how she has been crying. In mid conversation Ronnie barges out and interrupts saying "I'm letting Lydia give me a legit Mohawk! like down the the skin!"
Jeff: "Do it! It'll ease the tension in here."
He walks back in, and they go right back into talking about the Lydia-Jordan fight.

5:55PM BBT:  All four feeds are still on Jeff and Jordan in the BY.  Jeff is laying on the couch with one leg on the back on the couch and the other on Jordan's lap. She keeps rubbing his leg as they continue to rehash the earlier arguments.

6:00PM BBT: Jeff and Jordan believe that they still have Casey on their side.  They are discussing how hard it will be to survive now that Braden is leaving.  They are trying to figure out how long they have to hang on to make it to the jury.  Chima comes out and educates Jeff and Jordan how to use dry clean sheets to launder dry clean only clothes and heads back inside.  Jeff and Jordan are discussing how it is possible that the earlier fights may turn things in their favor now that others are "showing their true colors." They seem to think people are being nicer to them.

6:10PM BBT:  Braden heads out to the hot tub.  All four feeds are still on the BY.  Just general chit chat.  Jordan tells Jeff to make sure he doesn't blow any competitions.  He says he can't afford to.  Jordan says "I'll have to save you."   They are discussing the other houseguests' fear the power of the athletes but that no one fears them (Jeff/Jordan).  They say that someone needs to do something or they will coast all the way to end of the game.  Jordan says she plans to.

6:35PM BBT:   All feeds are on the BR where Lydia is styling Michelle's hair. Laura, Chima, and Natalie are sitting on the BR coach.  Laura says she needs to get in a fight with someone to get some freaking camera time.  She says her family probably doesn't even realize she's on the show. She quickly takes it back saying that it isn't worth it.  General chitchat of not much significance.

6:40PM BBT:  All four feeds change to the BY again as Russell goes outside for his nightly workout.  He tells Braden he is going to concentrate on legs and asks him to join him.  Braden jokes that he is a model so he doesn't need legs.  The conversation ends there and all is quiet so the feeds follow Braden into the kitchen where Jordan and Casey are discussing food. Casey says that half a pizza is 1000 calories. [Thanks for raining on my parade -Goldylucks]  The camera guys must like Braden tonight because the feeds follow Braden back outside even though he has nothing of interest to contribute.

As I just completed writing the side-bar regarding no one in the house making me laugh this season,  Michele cracked me up with this one:  "The steel beds are like Chinese water torture,  it's like they're waterboarding us.  Who's the other producer this year, Dick Cheney?"

6:55PM BBT:  Feeds switch back to the BR where Kevin is describing today's fight with Braden to Chima.  He is again rehashing incorrectly about Braden calling Lydia a bitch and hoe.  Maybe Lydia and Kevin really believe Braden said it.

In the BY Russell is still working out.  Casey is lounging on the couch where Jeff is sitting having a cigarette.  Braden is still in the hot tub.  They are discussing dinner.

Jessie and Casey decide to join Russell. All seems to be pretty quiet. Russell is air boxing with his own reflection.

7:10PM BBT:  Half the house is crammed onto the BR couch and Ronnie is trying to get Chima and Michelle to storm into the DR at midnight to ask for food.  They are hoping the "have nots" ends at precisely midnight.  Ronnie and Chima head to the LR where they speculate that they have handled their week of slop very well and that they think they have had the worst living conditions in BB history. [Tell that to season 1 who had to hand wash their clothes in a bucket, or to Danielle who spent an entire 24 hours alone in one room with a bucket for a toilet. -Goldylucks]

8:00PM BBT:  They're just cleaning up after dinner.  It was a pleasant meal with lots of happy talk, no fighting.

8:15PM  BBT:  All HGs still talking at dining room table. Lydia alone on the hammock. 

8:15 - 9:25PM BBT:  Nothing Happened!  Conversations about weddings.

 Houseguests are all chilling in the backyard and hot tub (for SHOtime), except Lydia and Natalie, who have gone to bed.
(Jessie and Kevin are also MIA.)

9:35PM BBT:  OK, Kevin has shown up.  Pretty much as soon as Braden disappeared. (Hmmmmm. Coincidence? I think not!)
OK, now the topic of conversation is penis size.  Chima says she will not sleep with a man who has a small penis.  She says a man with a large penis will put her hand on it when they're making out, so a girl will know what he's packing.  Chima says she's very picky and hasn't been with a guy in a year and a half.

Laura says when she's out with her boyfriend,  strangers will come up to him and say, "Hey dude, I'm sorry, but would you mind if I take a picture of your girlfriend?"  She says and lots of times they just take a picture without asking.  "I mean they don't even care about my face, they just want a picture of my boobs."

Laura: "People don't have boobs like this in Georgia!"
Jeff: "Lots of places don't have boobs like that!"

Laura does admit that for the most part she like the attention, even though it can be annoying at times.

The mood is very jovial (thanks to the alcohol they got earlier), which is good, considering the tension in the house earlier.

The have-nots have been told that they can eat real food starting at midnight.  And I believe hot showers were mentioned as well,  I just didn't catch when that restriction would be lifted.

Meanwhile, chitchat continues in the backyard.

10:00PM  BBT:  We're learning a lot about Michele's sex life.  Her and her husband try to do it every day (as opposed to Casey who has sex once a week).  Michelle and her husband are somewhat adventurous and have video tapped their love making.  She's telling the other girls that men like it when they talk dirty and moan a lot.  Jordan says Michele is like the girl in American Pie from Band Camp,  whose name was also Michele.

Jordan might be drunk,  because she was telling everyone how she was drunk once and had sex, and then her vagina hurt.
And the she is telling about how this one guy put his finger in her butt hole, and how she had not been prepared for it.  She says she didn't like it, but she has a friend who does.

10:15PM BBT:  Lydia got up and made herself a cup of coffee.  Jessie is still asleep in the HoH.  Happy talk continues on the patio. 

When Jessie finally got up he got into bed with Lydia, who massaged his feet.  When Lydia got called to the DR,  Ronnie rushed in to tell Jessie that Casey threw a fit because someone ate his cookie.  [Once again, I never saw this happen, Casey was joking about the cookie jar But I never heard the hissy fit Ronnie described.]

Midnight:  As the clock strikes midnight, Ronnie leads the have-nots in a feeding frenzy. Ronnie tries to eat four hot dogs, but only manages three. 

Jessie:  "What's your favorite holiday?"   
Lydia:  "Oh Halloween without a doubt."
Jessie:  Oh I hate Halloween.  It traumatized me as a kid."
Lydia:  "Why?"
Jessie:  "In my home town there was this empty school that they'd turn into a haunted house.  It was open every weekend in October...  I hated it,  that kind of stuff scares me."

1:00AM BBT:  Shocking!  While playing a movie guessing game, we discovered that Jordan never heard of Al Pacino.

2:45AM BBT:  Jessie, Lydia, Natalie, Kevin, Laura, and Casey all outside enjoying some Braden bashing making fun of his stories.

The Brain clique is talking about going after a guy trying to figure out who it is ... Sounds like maybe Jeff and they are gonna try and bring in Jordan sorry whispering hard to hear. Now they are talking about backdooring Russell game changes quick! So their plan seems to be Jeff next week, and then have someone like Jordan or Casey backdoor Russell.

3:50AM BBT:   Now the brains order has changed to... ideally Lydia, Russell, Casey in that order. They are now talking about possibly having Jeff and Jordan on their side.

4:00AM BBT:  Jessie in the HoH with Nat, Kevin, Laura talking about past guests and Jessie's relationships.

4:05AM BBT:   The brains are calling it a night.

(But that wasn't the end.  There was someone awake almost all night.  )
