8:15AM BBT:  They're asleeep
9:00 AM BBT:  Russell is up and in the kitchen.
9:30AM BBT:  BB:  "Good morning houseguests.  It's time to get up for the day."
9:45AM  BBT:  Russell and Casey are talking about Chima and how she drives them nuts! How she goes around knowing she is safe and it may come to bite her.
9:50AM BBT:  Russell tells Casey the Ronnie mentioned putting him (Casey) up for eviction.  Casey was surprised.  [Oh that Russell,  I think he's sowing some seeds again.  I wonder what he's trying to grow?] 
10:10AM BBT:  BB scolds Jessie:  "Jessie!  I said, the bedroom lights must remain on during the day."  Russ and Casey are on the patio talking sports.  Casey met Warren Sapp and said it was a dick.  He asked Sapp if he could take his picture with his kid, and Sapp replied, "No man, I don't flick."
10:35AM BBT:  BB is still calling for Jessie,  Chima and Natalie to get up for the day. 
10:45AM BBT:  Jessie got up, walked around and headed back to the HoH.  Ronnie is sacked out on the sofa in the bathroom area.  Braden is talking to Russell about some of his modeling jobs.  [I think Russell doesn't believe Braden has done all he says,  but for some reason I believe his stories.] 
11:15AM BBT:  Russell's working out on the elliptical,  Ronnie and Jordan are in the pool.  Jessie is back in bed.  Braden is plucking his uni-brow. 

11:20AM BBT: Casey,  Lydia and Kevin are outside talking about the heat and last night's argument:
Kevin:  "Jessie said Michele was crying,  but I saw her and she was fine.  And she was mad because she never cries,  and then Chima was yelling at her about saying shit.  Natalie said if I win HoH now I know who to put up."
Casey ''I was in bed not breathing so I could hear."
Kevin:  "We need to talk about burning clothes and get them started again.'
Lydia:  "It's good for me to let them implode and stay out of it."

Everyone's just doing their ADLs.  They planned on doing some housecleaning today,  and they'll be called to the DR to record their goodbye messages. 

12:35PM BBT:  Michelle and Natalie are outback and Natalie is apologizing to Michelle for talking behind her back last night. Natalie says she did not think she was talking behind her back because she was not saying anything bad. Talk turns to today being cleaning day before the live show. (Normally cleaning is done on Thursday before the practice run of the show...)

Jordan and Jeff are at the pool.  Jordan is telling Jeff that Diane and Drew played together and did really well.  She tells Jeff that Drew won the game.  She is telling Jeff to throw the HoH to her if it's between the two of them that way she can put the athletes up.

12:50PM BBT:  Indoor LD is called.

Jeff and Braden discuss how everyone will vote.  Jeff tells Braden he might still have a chance to stay.  Jeff thinks Michele and Ronnie could possibly flip over and vote out Chima.  He tells Braden to go out and apologize to Kevin and Lydia and kiss a little ass.  Jeff says he should approach them as if he knows he's leaving and say, "Look I just want to apologize for my remarks.  I don't want to leave the house with you thinking I'm that kinda guy."

1:25PM BBT:  BB has a new announcement:  "Head of the household,  please return to your room."  when Jessie got there, they had the HoH camera for him to take pictures with.

1:50PM BBT: Jordan, Laura, Jeff and Ronnie are talking in recycled room.  Jeff gets up to leave and Jordan asks if Ronnie can let her talk to Laura alone.  He leaves and Jordan says Michele is now against the other side and could help them out.  Jordan thinks that Ronnie is on their side and Laura states she doesn't trust Ronnie.  Jordan says Casey's vote is going back and forth.  Jordan says Michele said that she doesn't need Chima on her team, as she's useless.  Laura doesn't think Ronnie will vote Chima out, since they're on the same team.

Laura says they can talk to Ronnie and try to feel him out without asking him flat out to keep Braden.  Jordan says if Ronnie won't keep Braden, then she'll just vote to keep Chima to save face with the house.  Laura tells Jordan that she's seen Ronnie make deals with the other side and how the other group has told Laura that Ronnie's made deals with them and has thrown Laura and Jordan's names out there,  so they need to be careful with what they say to Ronnie.

Jordan says she trust Michele 100%. Laura says they need to get Jessie,  Natalie and Russell out of the house and she's not scared to do it. Laura thinks Jessie is down playing his personality for TV and to stay in the house longer.  Jordan asks if they should continue flirting with Russ.  Jordan is going to get Jeff to talk to Michele and Jordan will talk to Ronnie. Jordan tells Laura not to believe what Russ tells her and Laura says she doesn't trust him or anyone in the house, except for Jordan, because they're team mates,  and now Jeff,  because Jeff is close with Jordan.

2:00PM BBT: Jordan thinks they're safe with Ronnie or Michele winning HoH and how Russ talks shit about Ron but is nice to him when Ron's around.  Jordan wants to see Ronnie win HoH to watch Russell kiss Ronnie's ass.  Laura repeats that they need to be very careful how they word things to Ronnie,  because Ronnie talks to everyone.  Laura says she doesn't know if Ronnie just hates the other side, or if he's doing the same thing to the other side as he is them.

Jordan says she knows what Braden said wasn't right, but she has to remember that Braden is on her team. Laura stresses again that they need to be careful what they say to Ronnie, because he's smart,  and can twist it and repeat it and it will screw them over.

2:23PM BBT:  Braden came into the bathroom where Jeff,  Michele, Ronnie, and Jordan was.  Braden told Ronnie "I need you Ronnie"  I'm assuming they approached Ronnie about keeping Braden and evicting Chima.  Lydia is cutting Jeff's hair,  after he did a little himself.  

3:15PM BBT:  Ronnie is now working on Jordan and Laura:
Ronnie: "I asked Michele who she would put up. She just says I don't know.  She's a liar."
Ronnie: ''They don't ask me anything in the diary room.  It's been so long since I have been in there.  I am I not funny enough or interesting enough?"  [NO!]
BB:  ''Ronnie, you are not allowed to talk about your diary sessions with the other houseguests." 

Earlier Ronnie told Casey and Lydia, "If I go,  you're next Lydia,  then you Casey,  'cause your the next smartest. "

4:10PM BBT:  Jeff and Braden talk to Ronnie about getting Russell out next.  Ronnie likes the idea of backdooring Russell.  Jeff says he wants either Russell or Jessie out.

Ronnie says he hasn't talked to Jessie "I've only said, like, eight words to him. "He says he thinks Jessie doesn't respect Russell and maybe they should keep Jessie off the block to bring him to their side.

Jeff doesn't  like the idea, he feels Jessie needs needs to go up.
Ronnie: "But Jessie can't go home.  I want Russ gone."

4:20PM BBT:  Ronnie is seen in the SR with Russell, saying:  "You're not safe!"

Ronnie can spin 40 stories per hour, all while eating a pint of ice cream.  Jordan is wearing a cosmetic facial mask.

4:50PM BBT: Looks like nap time again.  All is quiet except for Ronnie who's giving Jordan an earful in the re-cycled room.  Ronnie tells Jordan that he trusts Jessie because he didn't lie last season,  and he seems like an honest trustworthy person. 

Five-ish:   Kevin Joins Jordan and Ronnie,  all four feeds on them. Jordan automatically changed the subject asking Ronnie where he's from and how are the people from there.

Jordan says she bleached her teeth and her gums went white, Jordan says she didn't sleep.  She says cookies and cream are good. She says she should have sat outside yesterday if she knew she's gone be locked up.

Camera's switch to Jeff and Braden in the kitchen.   Jeff is cooking , Michelle walks by, Braden says,  "Hello Mimi," and she doesn't react,  then they say Michele and she says that she's like "do do do do do" and laughs
Braden says that he's making avocados.  Jordan comes to the kitchen with her mask on her face saying she looks like a witch

BB voice : "Russell sleeping in the living room is prohibited" ( BB voice said it three times)

Laura joins them in the kitchen and asks Braden what is he cooking.

5:15PM BBT:  Laura asking for advice from Kevin and Ronnie in the recycled room about whether to vote for or against Braden. Kevin says Braden called the president of CBS' wife (Julie Chen) a ho. [Note:  They were playing "Simon Says" last night, and changed it to "Julie Says" It was within the context of the game that he called Jessie, who was "Julie" a "ho".) They talk about racist remarks from Braden and how they don't even use those words at home.

Jessie is called to the DR. They guess what tomorrow's HoH competition will be.  Ronnie says if some funny stuff happens and Chima goes home, his clique will have had the worst week,  because they lost all the competitions and a team member.

5:40PM BBT: FotH and then purple screen that says that the HGs are playing a game for the next TV show, and that feeds will be right back.  When the feeds returned at 6:00PM, there was no evidence that any type of game was played.  Scoop:  ericsturrock reports that the FotH was so they could tape a segment for The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.  And that they'll be doing it every Wednesday at 5:30PMBBT.

Jordan now talking to Laura in pool room. More talk of keeping Braden. She told Laura that Ronnie said he would vote to keep Braden if Laura and Casey will too. Laura agrees, but has concerns that someone won't vote the right way and they (Laura and Jordan) will be targets next week for rallying votes

6:25 PM BBT:  Jordan says her pits smell. Laura gives her deodorant. She tosses it to Braden. Hey, if you had the live feeds,  you could see these jaw-dropping developments as they happen.  Subscribe today and get a free 3 day trial.

Laura now showing outfits she wants to wear. Jordan wants her to try them all on.

6:30PM BBT:  Braden tells a joke:  "A mushroom walks into a bar and the bartender says, 'We don't serve your kind here.'  The mushroom says, 'Why not? I'm a fun gi'"

Jordan didn't get it. They have to explain it to her.

Laura trying on dresses, she's wearing a red dress.  They guys telling her she looks awesome. (She does).  Ronnie trying to tell a joke to deflect his attention and Braden/Jeff calling out to Ronnie's wife Michelle to let him catch a look of Laura.
Ronnie's joke: "Do you know how to catch a unique rabbit? You neak up on it. Know how you catch a tame rabbit? Tame way."

Jordan doesn't get the jokes at all. The boys think she's cute.

Next Ronnie joke: "How do you scare a bunch of bees? Say  'Boo bees.'"  Hey, I'm telling ya,  sign up for the live feed and hear all Ronnie's jokes.  Subscribe today

Jeff asks Ronnie the following riddle:  You walk into a room and there's a man who has hung himself hanging in the middle of the empty room,  his feet off the floor,  with just a puddle of water under him.  How did the man hang himself?"  It took Ronnie the Brainiac about a dozen guesses before he correctly answered, "He stood on a block of ice."

6:50PM BBT:  Lockdown over. Natalie telling them to wash their sheets after they did what they did.  Jordan says, "Now America is going to think we did the nasty!"

Laura now wearing a little black dress. Says her boyfriend Ben gave it to her. He picked it out and everything. One of the guys says, " So he fooled around on you and felt bad so he brought you that back?" (It was funny)

Casey comes in as Laura says he was going to save this for the end. Casey says "You don't want to be saving anything, none of us do," Braden says wear the red it was stunning, Jeff says save red for the block.

7:15PM BBT:  Lydia, Jessie and Natalie are sitting in the bathroom area when Casey walks in.  Casey talks about needing a mat in the bathroom because men 'dribble' then he farts. They blame it on Jessie.  Lydia says, "I'm going to slap your face old man." to Casey, he says "I don't like that! " As Casey enters the john  Lydia yells, "No pissing on the floor."   Casey replies with, "Yeah, go back to the Taj Mahal,  up in the penthouse to do your pissing."

Lydia rubbing Jessie's leg.  Jessie asks Kevin to rub the other leg and he says no. Jessie says why not and Kevin says, "Because I might get all hot and bothered.  Kevin tells him to ask Natalie. She says she's hurt over there.

They ask Kevin about Michelle. He says that she told him she was still thinking about it.  They seem exasperated and say she's a wild card and doesn't want to talk about it. Kevin assumes she's talking to someone else besides her.

Michele, Laura and Jordan all took a bubble bath together in the HoH bathroom.  The cameraman was discreet, until Jordan,  who preferred her bath in the nude, got out of the tub.  Click here for to see ALL OF JORDAN!

8:10PM BBT:  Flashback Alert! All four feeds are on the HoH bathtub where Michele, Laura, Jordan taking a bubble bath and Natalie is standing there talking to them.

8:20PM BBT:  No change on the girls in the tub.  Jordan say's she's hot and asks the others if they'd mind if she took off her top.  She was pretty good at keeping covered up with the bubbles.  The conversation was was about sex.  After Michele and Laura got out of the tub,  Jordan took her bottoms off to "shave down there."  She was doing pretty good keeping our prying eyes from seeing,  until she stood up to put her towel on, and she flashed America. 

In the backyard, Jessie and Russell are showing Ronnie how to work out.   The girls are teasing Natalie about Jessie liking her and if she didn't have a boyfriend things would be different.   Ronnie looks tired after his first set about three minutes into the workout but he's going again.   Casey and Jeff on the outdoor couch no game talk though Lydia and Kevin doing yoga maybe?

9:50PM BBT:  Ronnie says he's upset that Russ is saying mean things to him.  [I never know where the truth is with Ronnie.] Jordan says if they stick to this new plan, they can run the house.  Michelle and Ronnie agree (but Ronnie does not look like he is going to do it) Casey comes out and plays pool and Michelle tells Casey that Chima told her that she was going to put up Casey.  Casey agrees that he is already thinking that he may vote to keep Braden.  Michelle tells Casey that Russ has also said he wanted Casey up on the block as well.  Casey asks "scouts honor" and she says yes.  Casey says it makes him mad the way Russ walks around the house the way he does.  Casey says if he does this they must agree if he goes on the block they have to vote him to stay.  Casey says he would send Russ home. Casey says his only concern is that if anyone backs out (wish they knew about Ronnie) but says he is still willing to do it because he likes Jeff and Braden more than the other side. Casey says that he knows his team mates will be mad at him but that does not bother him so much.

Braden has counted his votes.  Laura, Michele and Jordan will vote to keep him, if the others are voting that way.  It really does sound like Braden has a chance of staying.  In my many years of covering Big Brother,  there have been very few evictions where we were not sure of the evictee,  this is one.  Last night,  I said Russell didn't have a single enemy in the house,  tonight, things are different.  Russell apparently had words with Casey,  now Casey has jumped on the "Russell is out next" bandwagon.  Michele, Laura, Jordan, Braden, Jeff and Casey now agree that next week,  Russ has got to go.  Of course, next week is a long way away.  If you recall, this week started out with Lydia being the eviction target, and Chima was a pawn.   -Morty

11:00PM BBT:  Jessie (I believe he caught wind of the play from Casey) is in the HoH room scrambling deals to try to keep Ronnie on his side. Lydia tries to come in, but Jessie asks her to wait. Jessie promises a lot to Ronnie, saying he'll tell Ronnie everything, Russ isn't after Ron and if they win HoH next week, whoever Ronnie wants on the block,  Jessie will get on the block and how Ron has a voice in their group and Jessie will make sure it's heard.

Russ comes in to use the bathroom and Lydia follows. They count votes for Braden and know Chima is staying. Ronnie trying to hint that he's worried that people will keep Braden.

(Jeff and Casey had a quick pow-wow in the pool room.  I missed most of the conversation, but I think Casey committed to the plan to keep Braden. Jeff said that he'd tell people they had the votes.)

11:50PM BBT:  Russ: -in a girlie voice mocking Laura, "I am saving this black dress for final two."
Jessie: "I hate Laura."
Russ: "I am tired of hearing her, that's just me."
Lydia: "I heard if she gets HoH she is changing the house."
Russ: "It's probably towards me."
Jessie: "She has an unfounded arrogance about her."

Jessie is giving a rundown of what he did today. Russ is still bagging on Laura. They see Ronnie on the spy cam and all say, "Oh no, is he coming up hear again?"
Ronnie is lurking to see where everyone is. Natalie: "I feel sorry for him, like he has no friends." Jessie: "Me an Russ workout with him." Lydia: "I talk to him, I held his hand when I talk to him."

1:15AM BBT:  The girls were getting ready for bed:
Laura:  "I  intend to vote  for Braden to stay.  Jeff and Jordan will probably too,  They haven't told me anything, I haven't said anything to anyone about who I'm putting up."  If they said I'm putting you up,  then maybe they're trying to take the heat off themselves."
Natalie:  "I asked Jordan if you're gonna put me up if you win and she said yeah, but she's not my target." 
Laura:  "OK even if you're pissed at Russ you're not gonna vote to evict him because he's on your team,  I don't even fucking talk to Braden why would I want Braden here?"
Natalie:  "You know the majority of the house is gonna vote him out so is that smart game play?"
Laura:  "I'm voting for Braden because he's on my team and I'm trying to show everyone that I'm trustworthy.  If I give you my word I'm not going to stab you in the back.  He's going home anyways it's not gonna fucking matter."

Natalie and Laura leave.  Natalie heads up to the HoH room,  Laura goes out to the patio.  Laura:  "She's on her way up there now to them I'm voting to keep Braden."  She pauses for a moment and starts for the patio door.  "I'm going up there!  I don't want her mis-quoting me. Laura says "I'm tired of this bullshit"  Laura says and says she's going to tell Jessie to stop sending Natalie to do his dirty work...

Upstairs Laura goes off:  "Why does it matter?" saying "It's just me and Jordan,  everyone is voting for Chima, but Braden is on my team." Lydia calls her retarded.   Jessie saying,  "I was asleep..."  and Laura accuses Jessie of having a deal with everyone.    Jessie trying to spin it..."Laura,  nobody talks to me except Jordan and she is on my team."

1:20AM BBT:  Jessie said that she's trying to get with the "other people in the house."  Natalie is bitching that she doesn't have any deals or any power.

Natalie:  "If Lydia wins I'm getting put up."  Laura goes on that, "Jordan and I are voting for.."  and yells at him "I'm not getting railroaded" and says he's not the boss of him and tell her what to do.

Jessie is trying to twist Laura's word and called her untrustworthy.  -StephenV

1:24AM BBT:  Laura is talking in circles. Jessie:  "OK,  you can leave."  "Laura I hope you and Russell get the power." Natalie says "I saved you from the block."  Lydia laughs and tells her, "If you have something to say...  I know you talk shit about me to Jordan."

Laura rambling: "I didn't leave my family to get bossed around."  Natalie:  "I want to apologize if I came downstairs to boss you around."

Jessie says she promised.  Laura says "If you feel Chima is in jeopardy..."   Natalie concedes that she feels that Chima is in trouble..

"He's on my team." Laura is steadfast for her reason to vote to keep Braden.

Jessie says "she's in jeopardy because you're not voting for her"

1:30AM BBT:  Laura's unnecessary rant goes on, she just repeating herself.  Chima:  "If I stay in the house I will put you up."

Laura now puts Ronnie on the spot and asks him how he'd vote if it was his team member on the block. 

Laura:  "He's going home..".  So her sympathy vote shouldn't matter.  Laura:  "If you're worried about it I'll vote for you."

Laura continues,  "Why wasn't I invited up here?" Laura repeats that she isn't going to railroaded and they never made an attempt to talk to her. 

Jessie says if Laura doesn't vote their way he'll perceive her as a liar.  Jessie:  "You lied to everybody in this room."

Laura: "I made a mistake, and I'm not a liar."  Chima: "I thought I had you're vote."

Laura keeps going.

1:55AM BBT:  Downstairs Jordan and Jeff are oblivious to Laura upstairs killing the plan.  They're talking about bugs getting into ears.   Jordan looks into Jeff's ear, "I think I see something."

Jeff hits him "What's going up there?  I think we're getting bashed,  It was nice for five minutes feeling safe.  I'd like to be a fly on the wall.  I don't want to get in the middle of it."   

2:01AM BBT:  Laura still upstairs,  still both sides saying the same things over and over.
