Dingo's Hamster Watch - Big Brother 12

I don't care who wins, I'm just here for the cheap entertainment.. the cheaper, the better

This site is about the Big Brother 12 feeds and contains spoilers! It isn't necessarily thorough: it's what I catch and/or what interests me. It also isn't necessarily about who will win, who should win, who's cute or who's horrid. It's about watching hamsters: who's doing what and why, who's fun and who's dull. If they aren't entertaining, get rid of 'em! Thanks for encouraging my behavior.

THE FEEDS ARE LIVE!

UPCOMING EVENTS
Next CBS show is Sunday 8pm
Veto meeting is probably Monday
Julie flirts with Craig Ferguson on Late Late Show Monday
First live show & eviction, and saboteur identity revealed Thursday

RATINGS WATCH
Thursday's premiere placed second for the hour with 7.3 million viewers, 4.4 rating and 8 share, behind 'Wipeout' on ABC with 7.9/4.3/8. The two shows tied with 18-49s.
Rating = % of all TV households
Share = % of households watching TV

AMERICA'S CHOICE
CBS is collecting $1 per text vote for you to tell them your guess who the saboteur is. No, they really are.

FAQ
Hamsters know there's a saboteur among them. We'll find out who it is on July 15.

Saboteur will get $50k if s/he lasts five weeks undetected, and s/he might be able to stay to play to win (my guess: it will depend on his or her fan appeal).

Have-Nots have their own room again, and slop.

Nobody knows why Paolo isn't there.

The winner of BB12 will win $500k again. Hamsters will probably still earn $750 a week including pre-show hotel and jury sequester.

The habitat has 52 cameras and 95 microphones.

The recorded Big Brother in-house announcements are the voice of producer Don Wollman.

UNDERSTANDING

Brendon won the veto, like he had to, in what sounds like a rerun of last year's TECHNOTRONICS spelling comp, only Brendon used a real word and spelled it right .. condiments were involved.. he later told Rachel that he'll work a deal so she can stay, and that he really likes her - awww

I don't know if the two brainy science geek superbods know they're both brainy science geeks or not, but I'd like to find out.. maybe they really do have an UNDERSTANDING and it's not just a mutual attraction of superbods.. Update: apparently they have compared science notes

Bitchfests are already raging far and wide, and parannoying (© BB5/7 Diane), and planning for all kinds of future scenarios - I'm not keeping up with all that.. some or all of them know Annie's "playing both sides" but I'm not even sure what the sides are yet

Lane & Annie both got new clothes deliveries - perhaps they didn't read the fine print and brought too many logo items - Annie hates her new stuff.. Matt's got either an offensive tattoo or a logo, and it's kept covered up like BB9 James

Shmoozing & cocooning already

It's only their seventh day and our second, and we've already got body counts - but to be fair, most of them wore themselves out from whispering among their many alliances, and they wore out Hayden by shmoozing him for a veto meeting they seem to think will be tomorrow.. unfortunately it'll probably be Monday, and we'll have to go through this several more times before it's done

I think the current plan is to nominate Annie as the veto replacement and get her gone, but Kathy's name was also tossed around as a pond (© BB5 Cowboy) to get rid of Rachel, and several mentioned Monet as a possibility but Hayden seems to like her.. obviously nothing is set in stone yet

Sundown brought sabbath for Andrew and he proceeded to explain the ins & outs of it to some of them.. he also apologized to Annie for the pap smear incident so maybe she can let that go now

I'm pretty sure the annual revive-a-hamster comp will be next week, thanks to a cryptic tweet from BB10 Steven Daigle followed by a switch back to his original Twitter nick from his porn-ish one - the text is on the right sidebar in Lines of the Day.. if you weren't around during the off-season (or even if you were) and you're curious about his new career, info & links about that are on my adult page - you must be at least 18 to click that one

A midnight booze delivery was a grand idea, and I'm taking it as a tiny little bone for us feedsters considering all the problems with the new feeds format.. by the way, they are aware of the problems and are working on them, including the promise of a pop-out viewer on the way

Please don't make me keep saying "get the feeds" - just do it

Daily Ratings - Getting to know you edition

Ratings are based on entertainment value

The fishies are dying, and so is interest in the stabotage twist: there hasn't been one single bit of the promised havoc wreaked yet. More broken promises include the most diverse cast ever and the best competitions ever. Today's was such a rerun of last year's, even the hamsters noticed it - and hamsters don't notice much. But I should attempt a bit of nice and mention how much better the habitat decor looks than usual, and congratulate them for not casting anyone in the dreaded 'love to hate' category.. I don't hate any of them (yet), and that's all I ask. Unfortunately, slop is sucking the Have-nots' energy again, and that's the main problem with this season already, as it was with the last few. Two words, guys: LIQUID DIET.
He certainly toned down his act today, to the point of barely being there. Hmm perhaps he got a tip-off from Diary of some sort after the premiere reactions came in. I'm glad he apologized to Annie because we all needed her to STFU about the pap smear incident.	She's quite the get-around girl but they all know it, and that kind of defeats the purpose. Her strategy is going down the same path as BB10 Brian's and BB11 Ronnie's and fast, so if you like her, you better watch now as I doubt she'll be around long. She's good inspiration for drinking games though, and she's the first elf to be on the show.
NOMINATED - HOLDS VETO He won the veto when he had to - coincidence? BB can't really afford to lose the kissyface pair this soon. Even if their UNDERSTANDING has been going strong for a week, it's new to us and it's just the kind of thing BB needs to have a strong season primetime-wise.	Won: $10 She also toned it down a bit from last night and so did her hair. At one point it looked like maybe she'd crimped it - maybe she did, or maybe it was just starting a small rebellion. She's still fun though and she'll be the source of many good Lines of the Day before she heads back to Arkansas and her new fianceé.
So far he's been great comic relief, even if he does tend to speed-rap like BB9 Adam - let's hope he doesn't end up in prison in a year or two. He seems to think his Four Meow Meows are solid and maybe they are, but I think he's got some backup alliance arrangements with Kathy & Monet just to be on the safe side.	HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD If things proceed as they usually do, his head will explode in about 48 hours and Bieber hair will be scattered all over the habitat.
She's still under the weather or maybe she's just taking advantage of feeling poorly so she can hang out under the radar. I get the feeling she may have the most people skills of all of them and I like that. Her job would require that, and good people skills is probably the most important talent in the game of Big Brother.. just look at Jordan. Kathy gets around as much as Annie, but they don't seem to be on to her yet.	Won: $100 She's dangerously close to becoming invisible in there, except when she's in a bikini or falling out of her top. Enzo can't even remember her name - he calls her Krystle.
Won: $1,000 I don't know what it is with him but he's oddly likeable, occasionally funny, and somehow comfortable to have around. It's dangerously early to call such things, but I think he's got second place written all over him.	Won: $1 I caught him lying about his BB knowledge a couple times today, and well: he referred to Dr Will on BB7 as 'that little guy' and said he thought he'd finished 2nd but didn't know how. Nobody he was with responded like they knew any different so if he was testing them, it was a success by them failing miserably, as was his late night mention of the famous Marcellas veto incident. He glances at the camera a lot which I'm taking to be a signal to someone, perhaps when he's lying.. maybe his wife, or maybe us? Watch for it.
Won: $10,000 She's one day away from me posting 'Who?' in this space if she doesn't step it up.	NOMINATED The girls hate her and the guys seem willing to cut her loose, but Brendon told her he'd make sure she's safe and it's looking like she might be, whether it's his doing or not. She may be working him just a bit too hard though: she told him if the two of them were in final 3, she'd leave willingly so he could win. I don't know if he bought that crock of slop or not, but even brainy guys like him can get pretty dumb when boobage like hers is in their face.
I don't have anything specific but am giving him easy ups anyway for being personable, smart, funny (though not as funny as promised yet), and far more substantial than the flamer role he was cast for, and that's a big improvement from most BB seasons.	Paolo Aviles 30 - Unemployed real estate agent Somewhere Lucky #14 got away before the season began without any secrets exposed or embarrassing incidents to live forever on the web. Her dirty laundry will remain in the hamper, but boobies fans will be forever disappointed and wonder 'what if?'
