This site is about the Big Brother 14 feeds and contains spoilers! It isn't necessarily thorough: it's what I catch and/or what interests me, and it 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. If they aren't entertaining, get rid of 'em! Thanks for encouraging my behavior. Your pal, dingo

BB14 FAQ
If you have SuperPass, access mobile feeds by going to real.com/bigbrother on your mobile device's browser. Log in (upper right), select Big Brother, and select Live Feeds from the drop menu. There is no app.

The untwist resulted in no eviction, and all coaches entering the game. Boogie was the only one who didn't vote to enter. If all had said no, there would have been a hamster revival.

Willie was ejected for head-butting Joe. Threats & verbal attacks are legal - aggressive physical contact is not.

They're calling pre-show sequester 'convention' or 'knitting convention', and they're calling Diary 'the wizard' or 'dairy queen'.

Ashley revealed they wear earpieces for nominations, at least early on.

CBS shows are Sundays and Wednesdays at 8pm, and live eviction Thursdays at 9pm.

Big Brother After Dark airs midnight to 3am nightly (1am to 4am Thursdays) on Showtime (SHO2) in USA, and on Slice in Canada at various times - check your local listings.

BB14 prizes are the same: $500k for the winner and $50k for 2nd place. The others still earn $750 a week including pre-show hotel and jury sequester.

The coach of the winner would have gotten $100k without the untwist. Returning veterans got $20k to show up.

The habitat has 53 cameras (up one) and 98 microphones (up three).

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

All feeds stay on one 'scene' when someone's in Diary.

The Glass House premiered June 18 on ABC and will run for 10 episodes. The winner will get $250,000 - half the usual BB winning amount.

Apparently the glass hamsters go into hotel sequester on weekends - no, I don't know why.

Big Brother Canada premieres February 2013.

Flip the doghouse (Sunday 8/5)

The best BB "punishment" thus far ended after 23 hours, longer by several hours than most "24-hour" BB sentences, and Ian was freed from the most fun he's had since the season started.. TPTB failed once more at making good tv by stripping him of his dogsuit and getting his Diaries while the others sat down to awkward family dinner, all 11 of them, losing the chance to include Ian eating on the floor next to them for the CBS show, but that's the way they do things.. to their credit, they were accurate with the endurance comp times on Sunday's show and that was new, and they haven't made any day count flubs yet

Danielle went a bit renny-gade on Dan when she, Shane and Frank formed yet another alliance, Three Amigos (Four Amigos was forgotten as fast as it was formed).. Boogie came to life again, talking game all over town and participating in a lengthy sorority chat (of all things) with Britney & Danielle.. I'm starting to think they may have let him have one more phone call with Dr Will in Diary, since he went from utter misery to laying plans and socializing.. ring ring?

Last night's kill Janelle plan had died again in favor of Frank again, but the back and forths went back and forth for several rounds, like they do, until we ended up with a coaches conference in Danielle's Dan's HOH room - Flashback 8/5 10.25pm.. Boogie and Janelle went toe to toe a few times but alas, no tempers were lost and only a few direct insults were hurled.. when Janelle & Britney exited, Boogie & Dan agreed to "get the liar out" (Janelle), they clapped hands on it, and Dan asked for Boogie's Brady shirt as collateral.. interestingly, Boogie was wearing a Chilltown cap - earlier in the day he'd been wearing another

The meetings reset with Dan pitching the idea back to Danielle, who scored a point by saying that's what she'd wanted all along, and it was Dan who'd argued it by saying she was playing personal.. they reset again until Britney, Shane, Frank and Boogie met en masse to agree on it, discuss whether Frank or Wil should step down to make a spot for Janelle - settling on Wil, surprisingly, and to rename their alliance - that and Three Amigos have been updated in the Alliance Rollcall below

At one point Janelle went up and knocked on the HOH door and they didn't answer, although it was obvious who was in there.. it was reminiscent of BB7 Danielle's ding-dong episode except she didn't keep knocking, but it did tip her off.. Britney cleared it with the six that she'd tell Janelle she had her vote, but she faltered under questioning and messed up her masque, and later cried to Danielle about feeling like crap about lying

Forgotten nominee Wil entertained the troops later with a loud snappy routine, and Ian dry-heaved when he discovered a pile of moldy dirty dishes in the backyard.. Danielle is already getting an extreme case of HOH-itis planning future retells of how she killed BB giant Janelle, even though she had very little to do with it.. she tried hard with Shane in bed with swapping backrubs, but it went nowhere again.. Jenn, Wil and Ashley joined up officially, complete with codewords, and are more than okay with Janelle going

The interwebs are already ripping up and declaring sides depending if they're on the love or hate Janelle train, while some of us are relieved at the thought of any vet going this week at any cost.. it's all a bit premature of course, since the veto meeting hasn't even happened yet and we all know how flip-floppy this group is.. also many have forgotten that Janelle has escaped certain eviction many times in the past and not just by winning vetos: she was the surviving nominee after Julie said good night three times in BB6

Ian sets a pace (Saturday 8/4)

They sat around waiting for the veto comp until 3pm, talking game and talking small, and napping.. Ian, Jenn, Shane were picked to play along with Danielle, Frank, Wil so they could (and should) kill a vet next week but Dan probably won't let that happen

Ian paced the Have-not room for awhile, around and around, making squirty noises but not saying much to clue us in if he wanted to win it or not: he's in a rather sticky situation either way.. I wanted to string up a hammock in there for him.. earlier he was declared safe for the duckie alliance again, so hopefully we'll get our swearing ceremony after all

It sounds like the comp had a baseball theme, and it was one of those hand off the prizes/punishments to others: Danielle won the veto, Frank will wear a "spiritard" for a week (and likely be evicted in it), Shane got a veto ticket, Wil got $5,000, and Jenn got a Hawaii trip thanks to Ian, who will live in a kennel for 24 hours

Costume parade

Frank's reveal was first: a lavendar catsuit with poorly stuck-on BBU letters and a little skirt, plus purple pompoms.. his skirt fits wonky and he already broke the zipper, so he was topless by Showtime - Flashback 8/4 7.14pm.. Ian's puppysuit has a heavy collar and (possibly recycled) leash.. he's not allowed on the furniture, he has to eat & drink from a dogdish, and request an escort if he wants to go anywhere.. he has a nice little kennel in the backyard with a fenced yard and outhouse - if he waves at the camera, a recorded WOOF will sound and someone will take him on walkies.. both took to their outfits very well, especially Ian, who was thrilled with finding a sleeping bag in his kennel - Flashback 8/4 7.57pm

It was hard for Danielle to top all that but she told a broken cheekbone tale anyway - unfortunately for her, others had gorier stories they told with glee

The respite from gametalk and trashtalk didn't last long though: Dan began misting Jenn.. Boogie made a pitch to Danielle to replace Frank with Janelle, and he proposed they name this new six-person alliance (including Britney) The Avengers (gag) or Sixum.. Danielle referred him to Dan, who then swapped out with Shane, but waited at chess to swoop in with Britney when Boogie finally left.. Dan might let them do it, but it's only Saturday and way too early to call

But I am calling this: with six major comp wins between them already and cocky (but possibly accurate) arrogance that will continue, a dysfunctional show/nomance, falling for whatever's said by the last hamster they speak to, full-time focus by feedmasters, and no Big Brother knowledge other than CBS seasons they saw in pre-show hotel sequester, Shane & Danielle are not the new Jeff & Jordan they keep saying they are, but they are the new Brendon & Rachel.. don't say I didn't warn you

Alliance Rollcall

It's getting hard to keep up.. at this point it's not alliances in there - it's just a bunch of random interchangeable roving gangs.. use pencil

Ratings - As Danielle's World Turns special edition

Ratings are Saturday's, based on Danielle

I love them <3 They always ask me about kissing my sweet baboo and winning competitions and being the star of this wonderful and highly successful summer replacement television show. I wish I had known about it before I starred on it but it probably wasn't very good then. It's a dating show, right?
TEAM JANELLE I'm not sure who she is. She comes into my room sometimes and says weird things I don't understand and that doesn't make sense because I'm smarter than she is. I'm a genius. I think she's a heathen.	TEAMIES: Frank, Ian, Jenn WON $6,000 I hated him - oops, I mean I didn't think very fondly of him (hate is bad) but then he came to my room and talked to me and now I like him. He has a cute little baby boy named Brady. I love babies.
TEAMIES: Shane, Willie, JoJo I like her mostly. She's my BFF and I mean forever. I mean she was. Then she said I have old, tired skin so she's my BFAF now (almost forever). She talks to me more than anybody so maybe she's my BFF. She can tell I'm smarter than a kindergarten teacher. I won HOH and veto. What does HOH stand for?	TEAMIES: Kara, Danielle, Jodi WON sushi party I don't know what to do! I love him - not like THAT! I mean like a dad - not like MY dad! He tells me what to do and I do it. But he told me I'm playing personal and I'm not! <footstomp> I'm playing strategicly! And I can spell it. Dan doesn't like my sweet baboo so I am going to make a BIG MOVE and put up Dan! And live <3 happily ever after <3 with Shane.
TEAM DAN HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD - HOLDS VETO I won the HOH competition! I won the veto competition! I am the most important person in this house and on this show, and I'm a doctor. Almost. I love everything about life especially my godparents (they are not my real parents but I wish they were), and my sweet baboo. I don't have any pets. I like long walks on the beach in moonlight. I've never been to a beach but I think I'd like it. Did you see me win??? Help I don't know what to do.	TEAM BOOGIE - NOMINATED WON 1 week spiritard I HATE HIM and I want to be the one to send him home, ME! And I can do it because I beat him today again, did you see it? I beat all the boys and I'm just a girl, what do you think of that? Did you see it? How did I look? Oops this is about Frank. I hate him! I don't know why. Somebody told me to.
TEAM BOOGIE WON $3,000, 24 hour dog's life He's weird.	TEAMIES: Wil, Ashley, Joe I HATE HER and I want to do what Boogie told Shane to tell Britney to tell Dan to tell me to do and that is get rid of her with MY POWER OF HOH! She's so blonde and smart and I don't care if she gave me some makeup and told me stories and made me laugh. Wait a minute, I kind of liked that. I've never gone a whole entire month without laughing before and it felt so good, like when you open the window to a fresh spring Alabama day. I want to laugh some more with Janelle but I hate her. Somebody told me to. I think she was on this show once but I'm the star now.
TEAM BOOGIE WON $1,000, Hawaii trip She's creepy and I don't want her to like me like that. But I think she does.	TEAM JANELLE He wants a cooking show and I want a dating show, but we both came here by mistake. I don't like him. He yells and my daddy yells. Or did. Joe still does. If I wanted to spend the summer with my daddy I would have but I DON'T!! Aren't you listening to me? I don't think you are. I'll tell you again.
TEAM BRITNEY WON Veto ticket I kind of love him DON'T TELL HIM THAT but I kind of do. He's my sweet baboo and he likes butts. How does my butt look? I think he likes it. Together we are better than everybody here because we're the only ones who win anything. I hope he didn't notice that I beat all the boys again! because he's a boy and I'm just a girl and I don't want him to be mad at me. How did I look when he kissed me? I wish he'd kiss me some more when there aren't people and cameras around but it's okay if he doesn't. I love him. Isn't he cute? He said his hair is thinning but I never noticed. When you kind of love somebody, you don't. We're America's favorites just like Jeff & Jordan. Who are they?	TEAM JANELLE - NOMINATED WON $5,000 I've never talked to him before but I think he lives here and I think he likes boys. I do too but he isn't supposed to.
TEAM BRITNEY - WON nothing She promised to bring it, but apparently she left it on Staten Island since she failed to fight even when confronted. She talked a lot but it was mostly the same loops over and over: she only gets along with East Coast girls, she's street-smart, she's loyal, and she's loyal, know what I mean? She was scouted via Facebook to get here, and that's where she should have stayed. Now she can get back to modeling and piloxing.	TEAM BRITNEY - WON nothing (Possibly forfeited stipend) He spent two weeks laying in HOH bed, parannoying his brains out even though he was perfectly safe, and his fall from HOH was the hardest we've ever seen. He head-butted himself out the door when he might have been saved by veto, so he'll go into the BB blunders pile. I didn't come in with Hantzophobia so I'm grateful for the cheap entertainment he brought, especially the Froot Loops war and Willieisms like 'key-hos', 'corn-ho', and 'totin' pole'. He's the first hamster to pose for his mug shot while his season was still underway.
TEAM DAN - WON nothing She brought a big name and rep to the show but didn't live up to either. She seemed like a nice enough girl but she didn't bring much to the feeds, and her sister wife wardrobe greatly disappointed her pre-existing fanbase. She'll be remembered for extra shiny knees and little else - she didn't even campaign to stay.	TEAM DAN, for a minute - WON nothing Most were looking forward to seeing what she'd bring, but she got a raw deal and was gone before the feeds even kicked on. She'd said she was worried about lack of privacy & sleep, missing her family, and slop, so maybe BB wasn't for her, and she got away without airing any dirty laundry. It had to be humiliating to go back in for the group bikini pic but that's how they do things.

LINES OF THE DAY

Sunday
Boogie on CBS: Do these people know who I am?

@droosion about CBS nomance: funny they're still pushing it despite [Shane] telling Julie 'no' during the live show

Frank: And I just gotta say fuck you

Shane, after hearing elaborate retell from Dan/Britney: Soooooooo is that what we're doing?

Dan to Ian: Just so you know, we're going to form that group of six that you're not a part of

Ian: Any description of aliens I've ever heard has them taller with grayish skin, and like no nose, and beady eyes
Janelle: But we're cuter than they are
Ian: Well, cute is subjective
Janelle: But like, bunnies are cuter than humans

Ashley to Jenn, Wil: I actually kind of like the idea of Janelle going home

@neurogoddess: @JoJoDoll1 Hi! Michele Noonan from BB11, the one that they should have brought in for a coach instead of Britney!

@LaraMcPinky: had my 1st BB nightmare! I was locked in the Boom Boom room until Jenn decided on noms, she kept changing her mind and said she couldn't decide because Danielle put a babelfish in her ear and she kept hearing production!

Saturday
Wil: I'm gonna blow all my stipend at the airport bar

Dan: I saw you praying
Danielle: It works - maybe I'll make some people believers who watch the show

Frank: I got my junk out on front street - or just the top half of it

Ashley about Ian's dog: I'm actually a little turned on, I'm not gonna lie

Ian: Dan, can you take me to the fire hydrant?

Shane: I haven't seen Boogie's season, I don't know how he plays
