Big Brother 14 -2012 Day 19

Nothing of significance happening on day 19, typical, but later there may be action around the "coaches coming into the game " idea. Only Janelle seems to believe this will happen. She is right. Many players are in for a rude shock .


'Big Brother 14' Recap: Shane vs. Janelle's Team
Sunday, July 29, 2012

There's a whole lot of filler in this week's Sunday episode of Big Brother 14, but at the center is Shane, the current HoH. He and Britney get to have all the power, but it's clear Britney doesn't really have the power. She can advise, but Shane makes up his own decisions and makes his own deals that she is not a part of. The result is a fascinating game where Shane refuses to us blindly do everything his coach tells him to do, unlike everyone else in the house.

There are also tongues, dream boards, breakfasts, showmances, lesbians and short shorts.

The "previously on Big Brother" voiceover guy gets the award for best line of the night, saying "When not busy winning vetoes, Shane was busy winning over the ladies." I know it's a different network, but I'd actually watch a season of The Bachelor with Shane Meaney as the star.

Where the "voice over guy" got that idea is a mystery. Shane seems oblivious to advances, especially by Danielle who has worked herself into a snit over his distance. Fans speculate that he has a girlfriend so would not want to enter into a showmance. Others speculate that he is gay.

Shane and Britney Drunk with Power

After Shane wins the HoH, nearly everyone is terrified. Joe shouts a lot and Wil knows he's about to get hunted. Frank, on the other hand, is quite confident because he and Boogie were smart enough to try and make a deal with Shane last week. That's good planning for the future, and right now it's paying off.

Britney is certainly drunk with power, vowing to make Boogie and Janelle's teams feel the pain after she lost two of her players last week. The only problem for her is that Shane doesn't feel the same way.

The HoH room reveal is one million kinds of awkward as no one talks and no one really wants to be there. I find it kind of funny because, even though it wasn't on TV, right before Shane came out with his HoH key, the HGs were talking about hemorrhoids and the shape of poo. That was a very interesting discussion and certainly informative for anyone who has never had hemorrhoids (I haven't) I defy anyone to show me a show that gives more value for your entertainment dollar !!

The Contraception Talk

Britney and Dan act like Shane and Danielle are their kids and they're dating, so they need to have a serious talk with them. Only the "protection" they need to talk about is to make sure others don't figure out their alliance.

The coaches suggest putting up one person from Boogie's team and one person from Janelle's team. But Shane says he can't nominate Frank because he made a deal with him last week. Of course everyone else really pushes for Frank to go up, though Wil is definitely Shane's primary target.

A Royal Breakfast, Dream Boards and Lesbians

There's a whole lot of pointless filler this week. Chef Joe cooks up a massive breakfast for Shane, the new HoH, to suck up to him. Shane does not appreciate it because he was having a nice dream about Carmen Electra that got rudely interrupted. Boogie mocks him, but if you watch the live feeds you know that the producers told Joe to do this for TV. Sorry to look behind the curtain, CBS.

Later Ashley talks about her dream board and how magical it is because it got her an iPhone. Boogie and Dan kind of laugh at her hippie nature.

Then Jenn (who?) finally gets some screen time with the token "Coming Out Story." She's very comfortable with it, but the weird part is Danielle. She was afraid that a lesbian would pressure her and hit on her, but now Jenn has made her less scared of lesbians.

The Coaches Competition

It's a gym theme complete with silly '80s workout outfits. Seriously, Dan's short shorts are disturbingly tight. The coaches will compete in three heats and whoever does the fewest amount of whatever workout they have to do is out. And each coach who gets eliminated gets to pick a locker with a special prize inside.

The first task involves bootie thrusting and Britney loses. She gets to choose the two Have-Nots for the week and goes with Ian (who volunteers again) and Joe. But since their food is Cereal and Salmon, they're not that disappointed.

The second task is about hip shaking and Boogie loses. He gets $10,000 that he gets to split among two members of his team and himself. Frank passes and Boogie naturally takes the biggest amount ($6,000) for himself. Ian gets $3,000 and Jenn, who is clearly his least favorite, gets $1,000.

The third task involves moving their tongues back and forth. Dan has a tiny tongue and fails, so he loses. He wins a private sushi and cocktail party with five other people. He chooses the three other coaches, his own player Danielle and HoH Shane. It's very strategic because he doesn't want the coaches to be talking without him being there. This dude is ALWAYS thinking.

Janelle wins and she can trade or save a player. She doesn't trade, of course, and saves Wil. She acts like it's a hard decision, but that's a lie. Everyone knows Wil is her top pick.

Last-Minute Campaigning

Now that it's time for nominations, Janelle goes upstairs to try and rebuild the bridge with Britney she burned a week and a half ago. She tries to blame everything last week on Frank even though Janelle's team was the ONLY REASON Frank was still in the game. And while Frank might be a big threat, the problem is that if Shane gets Frank out, then everyone else will target Shane next week since he will be the sole remaining threat. Getting Frank out may be what's best for most people in this house, but it's not necessarily best for Shane.

Janelle tried to convince Britney that the coaches are definitely coming into the game as players after next Thursday and this will shake things up massively and will obsolete all of Britney's strategic planning. Britney didn't seem entirely convinced at first, but let on that she was convinced by the end of discussion. But after Janelle left and Boogie, Frank, and Dan came in to talk she didn't seem to believe Janelle.This will come back to bite her big time. Of course she may come around by Thursday. But how she will change her strategy is...

Meanwhile Janelle is going full steam ahead with her certainty that she'll be playing after Thursday. This is good. She is dangerous when she is playing the real comps. and not just the coaches comps.

Boogie obviously wants Janelle's two players nominated. He also admits that he's really only concerned with keeping Frank safe. Britney doesn't believe Boogie or Frank at all about how they wouldn't turn back to Janelle's team. But Shane isn't as doubting as Britney is.

The voiceover calls Shane to the diary room to make his nominations, but he still hasn't made up his mind, Britney tries to talk him into Frank and Joe, but the voiceover keeps calling him and he has to go before anything is decided. This is literally a last-minute decision. I kind of love it, because usually everyone knows exactly what's gonna happen.

The Nominations

Shane nominates Joe and Ashley. Frank gets the last key, making him sweat it out. His speech is decent, saying Janelle is the only coach who hasn't had any of her players nominated, and since he was nominated against his teammate, it's only fair he do the same to Joe and Ashley.

Afterwards, Ashley looks like someone just killed her pet bunny while Joe looks like he wants to murder someone. Frank is ecstatic and in the diary room he says that he now trusts Shane and wants to work with him. These two could run the entire game if they keep that level of trust and loyalty to one another.

The bottom line is that Joe will be evicted on Thursday, since Shane has already declined to use the POV to change his selections. THEN, comes the announcement by Julie that the fans have voted to allow the coaches to enter the game and of course all four will accept the offer, and all hell breaks loose ! Heh-heh.

Another view; I didn't think Shane will change his original Joe/Ashley noms.

But this thread seems to indicate that he's on board....

Big Brother 14: Week 3 Veto Ceremony & Plan B
By: Matthew Boyer (GTP) | Tagged: Big Brother, Big Brother 14, PoV

Big Brother 14 Joe and Shane

Later today the Big Brother 14 Veto ceremony will be held and right now there are a few potential scenarios for how it could all play out. Still nothing is simple or straightforward this season as we’ve been quick to discover. Read on to see what some of the HGs are expecting to happen at the Veto ceremony later today.

Now that Shane holds both the HoH and the PoV powers he’ll have complete control over the way this turns out. If he decides to leave things alone that it’s quick and easy. If he decides to use the Veto then he’ll also have to decide on a HG to renom and fill that vacancy on the block.

On Saturday, immediately following the Veto competition Shane proclaimed that Joe was done and gone. He seemed to have no interest in negotiating, deal making, or considering any alternatives to the upcoming eviction on Thursday. That might have changed as of a late night debate.

Shane flat out told Joe he is safe. Can we believe that ? If true, that means that Shane will put up Frank, and the votes will go against him, and bye-bye. It's possible but I'll believe it when I see it . But only a few more hours to wait.

Flashback to 1:35AM BBT Cams 3/4 to hear Shane, Britney, Wil, and Danielle throwing around the idea of taking Frank out via a Veto renom. The new plan is to take Ashley off the block and put Frank up in her place. That would leave Ian and Jenn most likely voting to keep Frank while Ashley and Wil vote to keep Joe. Danielle would break the tie by voting out Frank in a 3-2 final tally on Thursday’s Big Brother.

At 2:35AM BBT Cams 1/2 you’ll find Shane and Joe having a talk about Shane’s new plan. Shane warns Joe that Danielle is going to indicate she’ll vote to keep Frank, but that’s just intended to deflect Boogie. Lots of proverbial smoke blowing and praise between these two. We’ll see how long this cordial behavior lasts if Joe does stay.

Here’s my concern, and apparently I’m not alone. On Friday Shane was all set to nominate Frank but then in the 11th hour he suddenly has a change of heart and puts his key in the mix. So now we’re back in this spot where Shane says he’s going to nominate Frank, but nothing will force him until he has to make that decision.

Flashback to 3:15AM BBT Cams 3/4 to hear Danielle giving Shane grief about his flip-flop nominations. She does not want to see him making another last minute change when it comes to this week’s Veto ceremony. Shane promises her he won’t do it again. We shall see.

What do you think Shane should do? Stick with his current Big Brother 14 nominations and put that Veto back in the box? Or should he go with this new plan to save Ashley and renom Frank for Thursday’s eviction?

Today should be full of drama as we get ready for the ceremony in the afternoon and then deal with the fallout from whichever way Shane decides to go. You can only watch it on the live, uncensored in-house cams so grab your Free Trial and get to enjoying the Live Feeds with the rest of us. Or just wait three more days to get a hastily cut and compressed version of the events in a way CBS wants you to see them. Your choice.

OMG ! The rumors were right ! Frank will be evicted on Thursday......unless of course Boogie can work a deal to get votes flipped. This is epic ! Shakes things up for the rest of the week ! However....I still think that Joe could be the greater target.

IMO Janelle's move was brilliant, she and her group of misfits managed to pull off a pretty good move. I am not a fan of Joe's so if he ends up going (which could happen) then I won't be to disappointed. Can you imagine the fireworks if Frank does not get voted out? We really have no clue what Danielle is going to do because she lives and feeds off all the attention. "I'm the swing vote" It's up to me me me me me me!!! In any case last night was pretty darn exciting to bad Boogie and Frank went to bed. Twisted Evil

I still think, given the power of the DR, that we are a long way from Frank being put out of the game.

Look for a surprise from either Wil or Ash when the DR starts talking to them about the rumor the coaches will come in as players, and whether having Frank would help or hurt his gam
