Kent was cracking me up with his exit interview with Julie Chen.

Paraphrasing:

"There was a banner for Hardy that said he was a 2-faced lying snake in the grass, and I can't argue with that."

Relationship with Bunky: "Let's say platonic."

Feelings on Homosexuality: "It's perverse, deviant, sick, abnormal sexual behavior."

"You know when 9 of the 12 people in the house have agents, we aren't dealing with 'real' people."

"You got people in there shaved from head to toe, guys plucking eyebrows and wearing make-up, girls cussing like sailors and have tattoos, piecings in their private parts. You got freaks in that house."

On winning HoH: "Now I know why there's a lock at the HoH door."

My favorite line: "You got people in that house who drink Nyquil to get a buzz, there's some weirdoes in that house."

Well I don't think Bunky threw it because for all he knew he was being nominated if he didn't win.

Same with Monica, she in NO WAY threw HOH comp.

Early word is Nicole is nominating possibly Monica and Krista.
And some talk of Hardy in there as well.

I also enjoyed Kent's exit speech, love the trash talking!
Good show tonight.

I hope Will's very STRAIGHT FORWARD diary entries don't hurt him in terms of Banners especially with Nicole. That's why I HATE Banners and the effect they have. Because outside that he is REALLY playing the game pretty well. He just loves BRAGGING a little too much in the diary room (which makes it even funnier, but has the possibility of hurting him because of banners).

Also a banner was sent today about Justing and the knife.
However they said "Ask KR about J-Knife" and Krista is like "I have know idea, what about a jack knife?!"

They could also replay Nicole's farewell speech to each evictee every week, it's the SAME damn speech evertime.
Almost ingenious.

Nicole has totally Mind-F'd Krista.

Nicole talked to the houseguest (Krista, Monica, Bunky, and Hardy) in the HoH room (except for Monica) one-on-one.

Nicole told her that if she (Krista) wanted the money, she would have to understand that Monica had to be put up. Also that Nicole/Hardy/Will made a pact to get Krista as far in to the game as possible for her to win it (that Nicole didn't need the money - working only 1 day a week - only in the game for the experience - all lies, that Will is a doctor, and Hardy has her back), and if Krista insisted on putting up Bunky and Monica, then Nicole could not "guarentee" how Hardy/Will would vote. And if it doesn't go down, then Nicole would be nominated the next week. And that Nicole was not going to put up any houseguest that hadn't been nominated (Hardy) because she promised that she would not put Hardy up because they have a "bond and Hardy would get the boot if he were nominated. So that leaves Monica and most likely against Krista (with Monica leaving due to Nicole having the votes in her back pocket).

And she swore Krista to secrecy (and not to talk to Will or Hardy about their conversation) on the plan to put Krista up against Monica (with Monica getting the boot). Krista spent almost an hour trying to get Nicole to put Bunky up on the chopping block, but Nicole said that Bunky passed her test (by voting to boot Kent). And that she doesn't perceived Bunky to be a threat.

Nicole was totally lying to Krista for the most part.

Nicole then talked with Monica (but not in the HoH room - it was locked by BB for some reason, so they go elsewhere), and it's pretty clear that Monica will get the nomination since Nicole perceived Monica to be a threat. Nicole also says that Will won't get nominated because he's been through the wringer the past few weeks. And Nicole wants to be up someone that hasn't been nominated to put them through the experience (can't nominate my buddy Hardy, so you're up, Monica and Bunky). So Monica thinks that she and Bunky will be up.

Next Nicole talks with Bunky in the HoH room, and Nicole speaks to Bunky like an omniscient mom would to her child. Bunky is looking for affirmation, and Nicole tells him that he passed her test (by voting to boot Kent). So Nicole tells Bunky that it's most likely that Monica and Krista will get the nominations, but she won't tell him how to vote until it's time. Bunky is okay with this. Nicole goes on with how Krista is really the brains behind the whole other alliance (the Untouchable - Krista/Monica/Hardy) It's rather pathetic how the update make this meeting play out. Also, Nicole tells Bunky that if he wins HoH, he has to nominate Hardy and whoever is left of Monica/Krista). Bunky keeps reminding Nicole of how loyal he's been and that he trusts her. (this really is pretty pathetic pandering). Also, Bunky is not supposed to let on that he knows about the Untouchables using cards to signify who to vote out. Bunky says he was so naive about the cards. Then he gets sad and says he's going to cry. So he leaves for bed.

(of course, once Bunky is out of the HoH room, he mutters to himself that Nicole is playing him, and they will stab him in the back).

Hardy and Nicole talk. Hardy basically demands that Krista gets nominated or he won't guarentee his vote. Nicole assures Hardy that Krista will get nominated. But Hardy wants Krista out first (but I think Nicole really wants Monica gone, but either one is good with her). I would want Krista out because I don't think Monica will ever win a HoH compeition, like Bunky or Will. Nicole told Hardy that she had to spend a lot of time with Krista to make sure that she's okay with getting nominated with Monica, else, she might freak out big time. Hardy wasn't too sympathetic. He's afraid Krista would blow the half million. Hardy is disgusted when Nicole tells of the lies she told Krista (about them making a pact to get her the money) and Hardy begs Nicole to put him up for nominations to put him out of his misery. Nicole won't do it.

Nicole does not have an one-on-one talk with Will. I think they are the real deal pair in the house.

Krista goes and complains to Will about how Nicole is putting her up over Bunky, and Will does a great job deflecting any responsible of the situation (I'm not HoH!) and that if he were to intercede, he's be back on the chopping block this week. Also, Krista gets in it with Hardy saying that he didn't approve of a mother admitting to getting high and rolling her own for the internet to hear/see. Krista was hurt by his comments and they spend time talking about it.

Krista threatens to walk out of the game (she would not get the $4000 stipend for being in the game if she left).

We're getting screwed here in Madison. Our local CBS affiliate is going to show an exhibition Packer game instead of BB. Earlier in the week it was scheduled to run at midnight but now the listings show The District being shown instead. I'll bet CBS told them they couldn't show BB at another time. So we're not going to be able to see it at all.

Please, one of you, be sure to post the nominations (someone always does). Also, a synopsis of the show would be greatly be appreciated.

Thanks.

Edited to add: It turned out that there was another turnaround and BB was shown on our local CBS affiliate at midnight after all. I've got it on TiVo and will watch it later today.

The nominations are in! Yes, Nicole is one smart cookie. But I'm still rooting for Will, tough I can envision a Nicole/Will final two.

I think Will should get HOH next week so he could deal Hardy the OUT card, and "avenge" shannons eviction.

If I were Will and got HoH, I would also put up Hardy, and the 2nd choice is dicey.

Do I stab Nicole in the back and let Bunky and Monica/Krista decide who's gett hte axe?

Or do I put Hardy and Monica/Krista up like a good like soldier of Nicole's and let things ride (this would mean that the final four would be Will/Nicole/Bunky/Hardy).

I hate to say it but the final three will most likely be Will/Nicole/Bunky.

I only saw the end of the last show and Kent was pretty damn funny, especially how his mention of banners and most everyone having agents made Chen bristle. You just know the network hated him mentioning such things. I was glad to hear he was from Powell, TN, not Knoxville, like they previously stated. I live in Knoxville and I hated his Southern redneck/close-minded stain he was putting on my town. We Knoxvillians consider Powell to be a few rungs down the ladder in terms of such things, so it was nice to see he was actually from there.

As far as the updates go...Nichole is smart, although I thought her being Head was a bad thing, putting a bullseye on herself, I still think she can pull it off. Krista and Monica already had their sights set on her, so it'll be risky seeing what the eviction survivor will be able to do to her. But, I can see Nichole going all the way, and her eviction diaries with her teary coffessions is a great setup to be the winner since it basically helps endear her to every evicted person, whereas being a smartass like Krista and Bunky nixes them in the jury vote.

Any updates on what's happening online?

Not really too much. As of right now everyone seems to get along alright. Not an overuse of plotting so everyone is just hanging out, which isn't as fun to watch.

As of right now the consensous is Krista is going, but it's not like a "100% positive get the girl out" type vibe so it could change.

Hardy and Bunky had a role reversal game for 24 hours where they had to change to gay/straight and play into the stereotypes.
So Hardy had on a cowboy hat, wig, and THONG.
And BUnky got nude and started dry humping Moinca. All fun and games.

The luxury was the TRAMPOLINE, so they've been jumping on that quite a bit. BUT, no flips or really any fun stuff, lots of rules for "use" of it.


That's about it really.

OMG! I wonder if we'll get to see the dry humping segment on the show Tuesday.

I still can't believe they would boot out Krista over Monica. But I can see the strategy in doing so because historically, Monica has been nowhere near winning HoH, so it would be better to give Krista the boot, and then have Hardy/Will/Bunky get HoH next week, and then crush Monica that week.

Is it just me, or is Nicole's body getting "fitter" while she's been in the house? I think she's dropped about 10 pounds while she's been in there.

So is tonights show going to be exciting or a bore?

Most likely a bore, but I'm hooked

Yeah me too, I just hope it doesn't end up like the first BB, with a bunch of boring people coloring eachothers hair.

I don't think so, they all seem to be sly bastards in one way or another. Nicole is the biggest snake besides Will. Hopefully she'll be gone next

I thought tonight's episode was pretty entertaining. They did not show any of the Hardy/Bunky role reversal for a day.

While Will is probably being "honest" in his deceptions inside the house, while talking in the diary room, I get the feeling that all the houseguests are using the diary room confessions for game-play/strategy (due to the banners). Nicole is probably the most insincere of the group. Those crocodile tears of Nicole's are just too abundant. Bunky's tears are also too much (gay or not). Hardy's are also just plain too much as well. It's like none of these people think that the others can't tell when they "compartmentalize" their feelings and can separate themselves from the game. That's pretty sad.

Will always cracks me up with his assessment of the situations. Most of the times, he's dead on.

I think Will has put himself in position to be the catalyst for the remaining turmoil in the hose. He and Bunky have, in their own ways, convinced Nicole that she's calling the shots, and that will be her downfall, that's her achilles heel. Both Will and Bunky are employing classic Sun Tzu Art of War techniques. Love the way Will plays dumb when talking "strategy" with Nicole. He always ends with "I know you're right, blah blah blah." I think that "sympathy" vote discussion with Nicole was also Will's way to ingratiate himself with Nicole (I don't think Will had any real intentions to vote for Krista at this point in the game, but wanted to make Nicole know that if he does vote for Krista, it's at her behest.

I simply marvel at how some of these people can put up their game facades 24/7 in this house.

I agree 100%. And I must say Will is my favorite.

They shaved Bunky's hair off his body! They left a hairy "target" on his back, though.

I so hope that CBS shows the Monica speech that she delivers to Nicole and Krista in the bathroom. It's mainly directed at Nicole, and Monica made some nice observations of Nicole's whole gameplan. It's quite juicy.

Krista now wants Monica to do what she can to get Bunky to the top. And Krista is convinced that Will has stabbed her in the back. Krista and Nicole had a long heart-to-heart, and Nicole is sticking to her guns about "being mad about the UT thing" and that she keep reiterating how Krista is a smart strategic player, blah blah. Krista keeps swearing on the life of Laken (her daughter) that's she's been on the up-and-up with Nicole and that she respects her, and has never said anything bad about her in the diary room. The "swearing on Laken's life" is just too funny.

Krista has gone around and told people how hard her life has been (especially to Hardy), and this messes with Hardy's feeble mind, and Nicole had to reassure him to get him to stay the course (on the voting order). Krista keeps pressing the others with the sad story of her life (mentions her medical bills that she's still paying on, etc). Of course, Krista is playing the sympathy card on the eve of her eviction.

Nicole is a mess, she can't trust anyone in that house at all. She knows that someone leaked to Krista/Monica that Krista is the one getting the boot. Bunky was the one who leaked it "inadvertently" with his "crying". This has Nicole doubting both Hardy and Will, but she hasn't made the connection that it was Bunky.

Will is simply hilarious.

Bunky and Hardy discuss Hardy's acting career in the future. (lots of day/gay dreaming).

Also, the actual votes will take place LIVE on tonight's show.
E on tonight's show.

Local Pittsburgh CBS affiliate decided to air a pre season Steeler game tonight instead of Big Brother 2.

What happened during tonight's show??

Basically, they talked about the nominations and when they were picked. When Julie talked to the gang, everybody was tense as could be. The weeks past when Julie talked to them, they were smiling and talking nice and everything. When Julie said "Hi everybody," everybody said "hey" and Hardy was basically the only one smiling. Nicole looked extremely tense, just sitting there with a straight face not saying anything. Since Hardy was the only one smiling, Julie talked to him. I forgot what they said, but it was only for a couple seconds Julie and the gang talked. They reviewed the whole week, and when nominations were up, they did it different. Julie called first Bunky to the diary room, and they would vote on-air. Bunky was first, and when he got in there, he started crying immediately. He voted for Krista. He said that he was "Nicole and Hardy's puppet," and voted for them basically so he wouldn't get nominated the weeks after. Then after Bunky was done crying, he told Hardy to go to the diary room. He right away said, "I vote for Kirsta." Then he called Will in there, and voted for Kirsta. Then Julie told the gang. "Of a vote of 3-0, Krista, you are evicted from the Big Brother house." She got right up, and told nobody to get up. She hugged Bunky, and shook Hardy's hand and said to Nicole, "You played the game good" or something. Nicole looked sad and shocked. She told Monica and Will to get up with her. They went near the door, and Krista was talking to Monica most the time, they hugged and they both started crying. Then she told Will he betrayed her, because Will promised Mike Boogie that he would all he could to help Krista to win. Then after Will and Krista hugged, Monica went off. She started yelling "They think I'm gonna lose. They're trying to dog me." Krista tried to calm her down. After that, Krista left for the interview with Julie. They met each other and they played the tapes of the gang. Bunky was crying, Hardy was sincere, Will was talking serious, and Krista didn't believe what Nicole said, and Nicole said that she loves Krista "like a sister" and Krista didn't really believe her. They talked about the night with her and Justin. The gang didn't know why exactly he was expelled. Julie told Krista it was about that night with him and Krista. Krista was very shocked, and Julie said that she would tell her the details after they went off the air. Her guests was her brother, and none other than Mike Boogie. She hugged her brother, then Boogie. Then after the commercial, Julie announced that the show would go through some changes. Big Brother won't be on Saturday, but they would do the Food Competition on Tuesday, then HOH on Wednesday. Julie said that the Food competition could send "shockwaves" though the house. That was pretty much it.

Big Brother won't be on Saturday, but on Tuesday at 7/Central, and Wednesday at 8/Central

I think Bunky is faking it as well. He's the one that spilled the beans to Krista that she was getting the boot, and totally f-upped Nicole's week as HoH. I have to wonder if that was a conscious decision on his part (I think so). If Bunky "was" this sensitive, why would he go on this show? No, I think he's as big a faker as Nicole. His "Stuart Smalley" act has gone on long enough ("I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggoneit, people like me!").

Krista and Monica's final goodbye was pretty good TV. It felt "real".

I loved Krista's reaction when they had Nicole on the monitor with her final goodbye to Krista. Krista rolling of her eyes was pretty funny as well (It's very evident that no matter what she says to the contrary, she's wouldn't like Nicole in the real world).

As soon as Will got back to the couch, he started playing the game again as he relayed what Krista was reaming him and making him feel guilty about selling her out ("You promised Mike Boogie that you'd get me farther into the game, blah blah"). Will wasn't totally telling the rest of the houseguests the truth, but used it to his advantage. For a split second, I though Will was going to give Krista a sympathy vote, and then put the onus on Bunky or Hardy as being the weak link.

Poor Monica, she's going to be smoking alone for 2 long weeks.

Poor Hardy, was I to pity him with his comments that now the house felt like jail, but he can't walk out because he'd get nothing to show for his 2 months of "work" in the house?

In next week's HoH, I think no matter who gets HoH, I think Nicole will be nominated. There's no point in "following her plan" at this point with Krista out of the house, and her with no true power anymore. BUT, the only reason to keep Nicole in the house is for each of the others to keep her around because I don't think any expelled houseguests would vote for Nicole (even over Will at this point) if they were really watching the show and the internet feed (though I can't really know if any of the expelled houseguest really give a crap at this point since they are "out of it").

I'm sorry, but I had a really good laugh at Bunky's live crying spell in the diary room. It was just way too much. He looked like he was constipated or something.

When he said he was just a puppet, it was way too much. I wonder if his boyfriend is embarrassed at how pathetic he is acting. I have always liked Bunky but the time has come for him to get a back-bone.

OK, I'm confused. When is the head of household? When is the next person voted off? Is someone being kicked out if they lose some competition on Wednesday? HELP! I DON'T GET IT>
