I will spend less time watching the show with my wife and more time with my box of kleenex.

Without the stuff from the After Dark feed, the show is unwatchable. I have no idea how people just watch the network episodes. Most of the time I fast forward the goofy stuff on the show like the competitions.

^^^ Same here. What's the point of watching wacky Have/Have Nots or POV competitions when you've already known the results for days? Heck, I always let my DVR start recording "After Dark" for about an hour so I can fastforward when I hit a boring part (i.e. anything around that stupid, annoying pool table in the backyard). Ain't DVR's grand?

Evel Dick on tonight's "After Dark" via twitter:

All 3 are probably correct although Shelly could be an obsessed Jordeff fan from Jokers.

So the new HOH is...

If she's a moron yeah.

I think she'll put up either Jeff and Jordan or Jeff and Brendon. That way she can say she held up her end of the deal with Rachel. At least a vet will be gone for good.

No need to spoiler-tag things on the "After Dark" thread (that's for the main "BB" thread) since we're talking about what we're seeing on the Showtime 2 feed.

Seems fair for Dani to be HOH this week. Bookie get one week together and are at least guaranteed Jury if one goes home, and the game doesn't seem as one-sided as it would have been if the veterans dominated. I wouldn't be surprised if Dani nomated Shelly along with a veteran though, just to make sure she can backdoor a vet if Shelly wins or lose her at a minimum to deprive the veterans of their pet HG.

So much stuff happens on this show that is unbelievable that even by BB standards, this season, while incredibly dull, has has things happen that are really beyond belief in this dimension. Almost, you know, like it was scripted. Even if no hanky panky goes on, I wouldn't mind if the next challenge, after Dani's HOH, was a winner-take-all and they just got this season over already. Who's there to root for?

Shellly, with her leather like skin and voice, Kalia who seems to have gone on the show to prove you can eat BB out of house and home, Porsche who's a call girl with no sex appeal and no personality, Adam the Dr. Evil looking guy with an obsession with Tori Spelling when clearly any 90210 fan would choose Garth and/or Doherty, and then the vets that pretty much no one even wanted to see again?

I really sort of enjoy the awkwardness of those "Who wants to see my HOH room?" sessions.

Did Showtime really have to lower the sound when Daniele said 'who wants to see my HOH Room?' because they want to save that moment for the CBS show? Pitiful, but not as pathetic as people who clearly not want to be there (on either side) pretending to be interested. Brendon's face clearly showed he's poe'd because he wanted him or Rachel to be HOH so they could fornicate like rabbits during the week they're guarantee to be together.

From Joker's:

11:26 AM Rach: We need to play this game to ourselves. We need to call a truce w/Dani.Bren: Oh yeah!
They talk about telling Dani that they can pretend to dislike each other. If the others wonder if Dani doesn't nominate us, we (inaudible). Tell her that she can get a lot further in the game w/B/R/D together. DAni isn't going to Nom Kalia. We are not going protect other people. It got Bren evicted and us number 1 targets. GEt the POV and make sure the pov isn't used. She can tell ppl this week that her plan is to BD Bren. Don't nominate us and don't bd us. Keep noms the same.

11:28 AM Rach: Tell Dani that the target is on my back. That everyone in the HOH was gunning for herand wanted to get her out. Don't want to throw Shelly under the bus but she was (gunning for her, too). Tell her about her not really having the votes this week.

Just one day with Brendon and Rachel is already plotting to throw Jeff & Jordan (and Shelly) under the bus by selling her soul to Dani for a one-week guarantee from Brendon and her to not nominate her. Of course J&J and Shelly & Adam are already plotting to get either Rachel or Brendon out (preferably the former) so it's getting close to that 'everybody fend for themselves' moment. Dani is not Kalia though, she'll see right through these two lovebirds and make them suffer next week like she's been suffering since Dom left... because it's not personal, just game.

* * * *

Dani and Kalia (the latter in person using Porsche-told-Dani-supplied info) finally confronted Shelly together about her duplicity in front of the house (well, the common bathroom area but everybody in the house could hear) and all Shelly can do is pass the buck about Porsche being a liar, about production, etc. Looks like the days of Shelly being able to float between both sides of the house are officially over because now Dani and Kalia (who seems genuinely hurt that Shelly shared what they talked about, especially the racial issues they discussed) don't trust her in the slightest. That only leaves Adam as the only truly uncommitted-to-one-side-or-the-other (but leaning a little toward the side of the vets) HG left now that Shelly is being perceived and talked about as being on the Veterans' side.

And Dani's eviction nominees are... Shelly and Adam!

She's obviously trying to backdoor a veteran with two pawns, but Dani seriously thought of Brendon and Jordan's offer of a one-week truce if she doesn't nominate either one of them this week. Looks like 'Big' Jeff is in trouble unless Dani decides to stab Brenchel in the back and put one of them up against a pawn that the house would keep over either one of them. It's a gamble, but obviously Dani is keeping her options open and didn't 'Kalia' her way into dumb nominations. Yes, within the 'BB' lexicon 'getting Kalia'ed' is now a term.

P.S.: Rachel and Shelly having a big blow-out over whether the latter is telling others about their deals/conversations... holy crap, Shelly is THE reason Rachel didn't face Brendon for the right to re-enter the BB house. Jeff, Jordan and the rest of the house are standing on the sidelines letting the women shout out their dispute. Looks like Shelly's days playing telephone are over for either side of the house are over.

On the one hand, it seemed J and J had more people in the house likely to help the move forward in the game. They weren't direct allies, most of them, definitely moving around with power, but the leaned towards wanting to play with them and that had to worry Dani.

On the other hand, J and J are, by far, the weaker team. In fact, Jordan doesn't really even seem to want to be there and Jeff is just not that go in most of the HOH style challenges. So, I'm just not sure why Dani would make a deal with people that can beat her head-to-head. Sure they aren't likely to get a lot of love from the rest of the house, but you can't win if you aren't there and if Brendon and Rachel are in the house, they'll want Dani out, not to let her build more power.

People are already thinking about thinking Rachel would be a good person to sit next to at the final 2. I'm not sure this is wise, but if builds momentum, it's also not good for Dani. Jordan is the perfect person to want to go up against. She won her season because two people turned on Nat AND because she had a strong performance in the last HOH and ended up in the finals with someone not only hated, but who also had a weak resume. Jordan couldn't win on being sweet alone again. Dani would beat her even if the jury was almost all taken out by her personally. Switch in around and Rachel has an even resume with her at this point and is her biggest female threat and Brendon is strong too.

Not that it will come down to Dani vs either, but since she's going down that road, I still think J and J were the best to make a deal with. If she said she wanted back with them and B and R were plotting against them, Jeff would have stayed true to her a lot longer and Jordan wouldn't back-stab Dani if they made a deal, which could have been a longer one too. Then you are set up with possibly sitting next to Jo in the final 2 and a victory against almost anyone else too.

Wow

Looks like Porsche who just eats and sleeps all day is outplaying the rest of the cast by doing nothing since the rest of them are trainwrecks who make bad mistake after bad mistake.

I know the plan must be to backdoor someone, but if Jeff or Jordan win Veto, Dani is stuck with her nominations. Who is she likely to evict between Shelly and Adam? I would guess Shelly if she has any sense.

Jeff and Jordan thought Rachel was asleep and she overheard them talking about a f4 they had with Adam/Shelley and that they are just using Brenchel.

Rachel then tells this to Branden and Branden cut a deal with Dani that either Jeff or Shelley go this week. The plan is to backdoor Jeff but I would bet 110% he will end up having his name drawn to play veto since the vets always get picked.

Oh yeah and the whole house found out Shelley is playing all sides.

Wow, a lot of stuff went down... dumb of them to talk with Rachel in the same room. Dani would be making a big mistake not to take out Brendon, since he is obviously the biggest threat to her in challenges and Rachel falls to pieces w/o him.

Call a WAAAAAAAAMBULANCE! Shelly is crying and having a pity party in the backyard (with Jeff, Jordan, Adam and a Diet Coke with ice) about her integrity, her loyalty, her dignity being called into question by Rachel... bitter, tasty tears are flowing hard!

ADAM wins POV!

Let the wheeling and dealing (and bus driving over each other) with Danielle begin.

I hope its

CORRECTION (the HG's went an hour on the feeds without actually saying it): ADAM wins POV! It was a 'what would you for ___' POV comp, and here's what everybody won:

Jordan: Unitard outfit for the rest of the week
Kalia: Caribbean vacation
Dani: POV ticket (guaranteed to play on the next POV event)
Jeff: Money ($5-10K)
Shelly: 24-hr. Solitary confinement in Have Not Room (with make-shift toilet in corner) for a call from home (you'll see this and Jordo's cute outfit on "After Dark" soon enough)
Adam: POV
Brenchel: did not play.

According to the feed in Joker's, won POV.

I'll spoiler this regarding the results of the veto meeting, in case anyone wants to wait until tonight's BBAD to find out that...
