The Austin/Vanessa "talk"


I want to thank all of the people who hung out here on the blog through BB17 and a special thank you to those who hit that Donate button! Unlike other sites, I don't get a percentage of the cut from live feeds and such. So, the Donate button helps make up a bit for the amount of lost sleep and such through the live feeds. It also makes me very happy to know that

The Final Three bid adieu to us




Liz spelled it out, Sneaky Steve nudged it

Well, this is it. We're at the season finale, another summer of voyeurism finished. This morning, before the live feeds shut down, the final three said farewell. Liz was the most excited and happy. Steve said the fact he's there proves that if you really want to be on the show, you can do it. Vanessa was a bit more

They're going all poignant on us


Once again, not much in the way of news. So, I'll give you screen caps instead.

A scrolling banner tells us the live feeds will stop at 9:45am PT. They'll probably barely be up by then!
The banner also promises backyard interviews after the live show airs on the East Coast -- 8pm PT or 11pm here. As I work tomorrow morning, I'll probably have to play catch

Shut it down, Steve!


Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Biding Time:

For the most part, all has been amiable with little game talk.
They've played cards together, cooked, eaten, had lots of small talk.
BUT ... when there is actual game talk (about this season and the inevitable end of it), somehow it's always Vanessa.
Vanessa talking to Steve.
Vanessa talking to Liz.
But

Thinking on his feet


Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of It's the Final Countdown:

Again, most of their time together was spent playing cards, eating and small talk.
Except for Steve, that is.
He was up a good portion of the night pacing the backyard, hammocking and talking to himself/us.
He went over his whole strategy for the game.
He went over his speech to evict

Liz sleeping


I really don't have much for you tonight. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Prolonging the Agony:

They napped a lot.
They ate a lot.
They did not fight.
They played cards.
Liz did the cooking again.
Vanessa and Steve ate Liz's cooking.
No one died.
Vanessa and Liz did facials.
Steve doesn't like potatoes nor fish.
Now, there's some deep insight, eh?
Vanessa

Good evening! Ready for a blog party? While many of us already know the results of the final HoH Part Two comp, tonight's episode will focus on the reveal of the HoH winner from Part One. I suppose they might show the second part, but I think they'll do the review of the season (ah, the memories of the way they were!) instead. 

Off BB17 for a moment -- if you want in on the Survivor blog

Will someone take her to the Final Two?


They are stretching this out way too long! Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Biding Time:

Vanessa says her pain pills (from the comp the other night) make her feel loopy.
I'm wondering if it all might be an act heading into the final part of the HoH on the live show Wednesday night.
Due to Vanessa being loopy and napping a lot,

This is Vanessa on pain meds


Not that it's a big difference from Vanessa not on pain meds when she's in a napping mood! She doesn't talk as much. But, with it down to the three, she doesn't need to continually run around in paranoia. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of What Do We Do For Four Days Now?:

I didn't give you an update yesterday evening because nothing much

Studying


Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Sweet Strategies:

When I last saw the bathroom floor, that roll of toilet paper featured in my last update was still there. No one has bothered to pick it up.
If that was here, my cat would have taken care of that immediately!
The girls slept most of the day. 
Steve napped a lot on and off between roaming the house, mumbling

Well, this is new and different


Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Inanimate Objects:

I really got nuthin' for you.
They were awakened early (9am their time) after the exhaustion of last night's first part of the HoH comp.
Apparently, I'm guessing here, it was for filming the BB walk down memory lane bit as we had Jeffish for a few hours.
They've been conked out ever

Playing a waiting game ...


Once they get started, I'll be updating this post -- refresh the page to get the latest.

It's 10:10pm ET. They finally took the time off the banner. That had been reading to stay tuned for it to start at 9:00pm ET. 

11:00pm ET - We have Jeffish interviews/highlights.

11:30pm ET - Still Jeffish 

11:43pm ET - finally ...







They're swinging on giant candy

Good evening! Ready for a blog party? Tonight we'll get down to the Final Three to head into the three-part HoH comp for the win. Tonight's show will expose the nominees and the PoV winner (although we already know those from the live feeds), plus a Brenchal segment ... so it should be busy!

Before we get going, here's the latest update on the blog pool:


John - Sasha, lynn1, clover

Liz -

Poor Coco, covered in Steve's tears


Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Four:

Not only have nominations already been made, PoV has already played out in advance of tonight's (really) live eviction show.
Remember, last night's show was taped Monday and the feeds were down from Monday morning until last night's West Coast airing of the (not really) live eviction show.
We

Good evening! Ready for a blog party? We're heading into a real mystery tonight as the most credible leak in such blocked feeds evictions situations is out of the picture for some time to come. That was the person I depended on for credible news. Sigh.  Remember, although it's airing tonight, this was taped yesterday.

AND NOBODY TALKED! Gah.

I want to thank everyone for the birthday wishes

Walking the Backyard of Broken Dreams


Well, this will be the last update until after the feeds blockage ending after tomorrow night's show. While the feeds shut down at noon here, it's 9am there and, unless BB wakes them up, they'll be asleep still when they go off. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Indecisive Incentivizing Indecisions:

Obviously, the feeds are shutting

Knows he's in serious trouble


Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Too Much Talk:

A banner is scrolling across the top of the live feeds which says they'll be "paused" from 9am PST tomorrow (Monday, 9/14) until 9pm PST on Tuesday, 9/15. Again, I'm wondering about why they think they're on Standard Time. The feeds themselves also list the time as PST. It should be PDT. Who

Good evening! Ready for a blog party? While many of us already know the results of the PoV comp, tonight's episode will focus on the reveal of the HoH winner from the Thursday comp and nominations.

The show isn't due to start here until 8:30pm ET tonight due to football and may even start later than that. I'll be posting this at the regular 8pm ET although word verification won't come down

Let's not tell them


Sheesh, even when her conversations go on and on, I should hold off posting until they finish. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Ten Days to Go:

Okay, by the time Johnny Mac and Vanessa stopped talking, the target changed to Steve.
Why is that?
After telling him a gazillion different scenarios and possible outcomes, Vanessa asked, "Which way are you

Okay, need to regroup again


Johnny Mac's win of the veto sure put a monkey wrench into Vanessa's latest plans. Now she'll have to renom either Liz or Austin. Whatever will she do? Why, she could switch sides again. Yeah, that's the ticket! Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Skittles Strategies:

Scratch my LFT statement on this morning's update. Austin, Liz and Vanessa
