The Overnight Report™

Good Morning, BB Lovers!! Happy Friday!!

Today in the Big Brother 11 House: Have/Have Not Comp, pre-Nomination Ceremony butt kissing & Nominations. But first... We've got an Overnight Report to get to!

While I get that together, a special treat! Here's Ross Mathews' exit interview with Jessie! I loved this one!!! Jessie starts off a bit rough, as one would expect, having *just* been eliminated, but he comes around as the interview progresses, and it's interesting to see the change and hear his lack of animosity... Regarding Lydia - he remains the gentleman and confesses nothing. I strongly encourage you to watch it all the way through to the very end. Ross is adorable. He's the new Oprah, ya know? ;)




Later on, I hope to be able to embed and share Philip Alan Photography's BB11 - Week Five Recap with you! :) I haven't actually seen it yet, because every time I click the link it just opens to a blank page... I'm not sure if it's me or twitvid... Hopefully it'll work for you, but if not, we'll get it sorted out later.

OK.. time to make the donuts... or the Overnight. ;) I'll see you back here with it around 8am BBT. Please refresh the blog then, and it'll appear within this post.

Cams 3 & 4

Very Happy Campers

Jeff: Do you want kids?
Michele: We might adopt. I work with a lot of bad chemicals and stuff, and there's some history there.

Jeff: There's so many kids who need..

Michele: Yeah, we're actually talking about maybe being foster parent's first... until we have more money.
Jordan: Aww!

Michele: I dont like sushi.. Do you want it?
Jeff: YEAH. Tomorrow, 9 o'clock!

Russell: What did you think about going in there and saw you were the guy?
Jeff: They told me not to talk about it too much - but I was just like, speechless... cuz I didn't think I got it, and then when I saw it, I was just like speechless...
Russell: Where were you that day?
Jeff: Ya know when I found out? It was when you were giving your speech.. I came out of the DR and you were giving your speech!

They all crack up...

Russell: That's when you found out? How awkard was that for you?!
Michele: I wondered why you looked so happy!!

Jordan: I remember! You were all, let's wait 'til Jeff gets out of the DR..
Russell: That totally took all the heat off you!
Jordan: How perfect.. Good job, Russell..
Michele: Hey!
Jordan: I didn't mean it for that... I mean, for the heat!
Michele: (laughs)

Russell: I wonder who was second..
Jeff: (speculating) Jordan... Michele was up there, I'm sure..
Russell: I knew it would be one of you guys... Jeff's funny, Jordan's cute, you're smart. I'm the cock... That's the way it rolls...
Jeff: I'm just happy I got it.
Russell: Dude, his face dropped.
Jordan: Their faces went red!

Russell: She'll have her speech prepared..
Jeff: She'll bash me, but what is she gonna say? I've never bashed her...
Michele: You tried to vote her out, that's all.
Jeff: Yeah, she's gonna try to get me to say sh*t this week, and I'm just not gonna acknowledge it. I'll just be like, ' good one, Chima.' She can do whatever she wants. I don't wanna look like an idiot on TV.


Russell: The thing is, we won't sit here and do what Chima did...
Michele: I'm prepared to take a cup of hot tea to the face.
Russell: I won't stand for that.

***Meanwhile, downstairs on feeds 1 & 2, Bitter, Party of 3 continues in the Red Room... Talk ranges between bashing Michele while stealing her hair products to the lack of fairness of Jeff getting and using the coup d'etat. Of course they're also quite sure that he found a way to tell his side about it, and that makes it even worse.... They've conveniently forgotten the fact that their alliance made up a signal to notify each other in the event one of them had the power.

A few minutes after bashing Michele, Lydia and Chima head up to the HoH Room to ask if they can use the bathroom to do their hair. Michele says yes, and much to everyone's astonishment and amusement, Chima and Lydia close the door to the HoH bathroom, sealing themselves off...

***There's so much to cover from last night, I'm just going to stick to the game talk from here on out...

Kevin & Michele

Cam 1

Kevin sought Michele out to make his please don't nominate me plea to the new HoH...

Kevin: I just want to tell you the same thing I told Chima, pretty much? In my mind, you both have similar qualities... You're strong, smart women, and you do what you need to do. I just want you to know I totally respect any decision you make. I understand where you're at. It's getting so hard. This is when you really play. If I could just talk honestly for a second... I just wanna give you my two cents, and I'll be done. My first cent... Obviously, it would suck to be nominated, but if you do... it's fine. My second cent is... I want you to know that, you know, Russell said some horrible sh*t. Remember when we banded together to get Ronnie out? And we were all, 'let's get the bad player out' and everything? Honestly, I feel that included Jessie, since he was pitting me against Lydia and Lydia against Natalie...

Michele: He was pitting a lot of people against a lot of people.
Kevin: Then there was Ronnie doing a similar thing, and Russell's doing it too. I understand if you don't do it now. There's the numbers thing now... but I don't want you to forget. It's going to be portrayed as he had this meeting, he yelled at you, and it's going to air where you got the power, and what does the girl do? Does the girl believe the dude, or does she have her own mind and her own plan. I just don't want you to forget that. Remember he threw you under the bus. I'm not playing sides, per se? That's just my two cents...

Michele: I'll tell you honestly. I'm not putting you up.
Kevin: Oh! Yay!
Michele: Yeah... I appreciate that you didn't use the PoV last week, as it probably would have been me going up. I know there's some things that will come out, but you need to look at it from a strategy level. With myself and Chima, while we were friends, we've never had an alliance together. I'm in such a weird place... I had a plan for if I won HoH. Jessie was gonna go up, but Jessie's not here, so now I have to pick someone else... so I'm like, what the f**k? I'm thinking no one's gonna be happy with me tomorrow... It's not my intention to put you on the block. I'd hope the PoV doesn't get used, because that dwindles down the pool. I like having you you around. I apologize if we get people out of the house you were aligned with, but...

Kevin: Yeah. No hard feelings. I understand. If I were HoH, I'd have to make my decisions too. It's down to the point. It's a responsibility..
Michele: I guess Russell would have been up, if you'd won HoH?
Kevin: Yeah.
Michele: I just know you're a good guy, and I can trust you.

Kevin: We're down to the jury now, you know? We have to start thinking about that.
Michele: You've shown you can step up and do this. You're a smart guy. You won PoV. That was awesome. I can't reveal the nominations, but know that you're not one of them. No worries.
Kevin: ...and no hard feelings at all. No matter what.
Michele: Ya know, it's like, Chima's said bad things... Ronnie... and Jessie was worse than Russell in a way... There's something different when you say something out of anger..

Kevin: It's more sinister when it's hidden, too. You know what? Secretly, in my mind, I was hoping that Jeff or Jordan would evict Jessie, because honestly I couldn't have... then it's like bittersweet though, because the girls are completely destroyed, and I can't build them up, because they're all in love with him!
Michele: I had to leave the table..
Kevin: I almost went to the DR. I was thinking, Chima, he nominated you! Lydia, he voted to evict you. Natalie, he yelled at me for voting for you to stay! I'm giving them their space. I've had these conversations with Lydia, and it just doesn't work. I do appreciate you saying that to me though, I would've understood. I would've been a little angry, but I would've understood.

Michele: I will be playing hard for the PoV, and since I don't nominate you, I would appreciate it if you don't use the PoV, if you win it.
Kevin: Definitely... though it depends a bit. I got heat before for not using it. I'm sure there will be heat. We'll see.
Michele: My door is open. I don't mind you coming up. I'm not gonna be like don't talk to me...
Kevin: I just really don't want it to be divided. I want it to be like, look, it's a game.
Michele: I have the votes to evict whoever I want this week, ya know? It's just how it worked out.

Kevin: It's coming to that point... You have to win.
Michele: If you win and feel you must use the PoV, that's fine.
Kevin: You have to weigh it out.

Kevin and Michele's conversation lasts until nearly 1:30am. Michele wraps it up in a pretty little bow just before the DR calls Kevin in, saying "Basing a final 2 on gender or race is discriminating. I can't stand that."

Meanwhile... during the lengthy version of Kevin's 2 cents...

Jordan & Russell
Cams 3 & 4

Russell: That was fu**ing rude. They just came up and closed the door in her own HoH room and blatantly ignored her!
Jordan: No one woulda done that to them.
Russell: No... no one. Michele looks happy, though. Do you think I should talk to her tonight?
Jordan: Yeah, upstairs. She's talking to Kevin in the green room right now. I feel bad. I wanna sleep in the Have Not Room with Jeff.
Russell: I will.
Jordan: In the have not? Are you sure?
Russell: Yeah, no big deal. I'll throw on some sweats. I'm so happy he did that for me tonight. He had my back. It was payback for me not putting you guys up. I put up with a lot for keeping my word to him.

***Anyone else uncomfortable with this statement? Not putting them up was honoring the endurance HoH deal. Jeff just did you another solid, Russell. You're definitely back on the owing him one - or in this case, more like 10 - side.

Jeff/Jordan Cuteness

Cams 3 & 4

Jordan: I saw you stand up, and I was like, NO WAY! Get over it! You had me fooooled! It was like a birthday surprise, or Christmas.
Jeff: Did you think anyone was gonna use it?
Jordan: I thought you were standing up to make a joke, until you looked down and smiled!
Jeff: I heard others talking about how they control the jury votes... They're already talking like they're gone... That's good.
Jordan: If everything sticks to the plan..
Jeff: Yeah. As soon as they get power, I'm going up..
Jordan: Look at what Dan did.
Jeff: We have to win again next week, get another one of them out. Then, if they put me up, like against Russell, we'll have the votes.
Jordan: I feel bad for being moody today.
Jeff: I knew you were gonna be.

Jeff: If I win HoH next week, I'm gonna make a bracelet. Are you in?
Jordan: Yeah... America likes you.
Jeff: Makes me feel good.
Jordan: Yeah... Me too. We're a package deal. I can feel it now. I can feel it. I just gotta get everyone else out of the way, so they can't put you up!
Jeff: I gotta come up with a big win.
Jordan: When?
Jeff: Next week. It'd be cool if I could win back to back HoHs.

***Considering the double eviction next Thursday, it sure would!!! I'm already nervous.

The Jeff/Jordan cuteness is ongoing... If that's your thing, I recommend catching it on flashback. :)

The Time has Come to Make Amends...


Russell: I know you finally got the whole speech from Kevin. Did it go like this? "I just want you to know I like you and I'm not coming after you..." right?
Michele: Yeah... pretty much.
Russell: Shoot the questions. I know you have a ton.
Michele: My major problems with you last week - you told my secrets. You told people I had a PhD. That was one. I didn't appreciate that. Then second: you acted in an aggressive manner. I know you can talk in a non-aggresive manner
Russell: You're absolutely right, and I'm not going to tell you any different. You're up here now, and I know you could see me get more and more paranoid. Everyone is going to tell you a different story, and you start to question who you can talk too, and you don't know who's telling you the truth.
Michele: I figure everyone's lying except my alliance.
Russell: For me, it was like, when my own alliance tried to send me packing, they were like, bye. I was going home, because I kept my word to Jeff. I mean, even Casey when he told Laura, I gave him the vote because I told them. At least I can walk away saying I said the truth. When they were like, put up Jeff and you, and I was like, no. When Jeff came up, it was like, I gave you my word, it's fine. And then I gave you my word. Everytime I've looked someone in the eye, I've been 100% honest. Everyone's told lies, you know...
Michele: I have too...
Russell: The only reason I told those things to you is because I trusted you. I give people the benefit of the doubt, and if they screw me, they're done, ya know? I gave Ronnie a second chance, and he screwed me again. After you gave that speech, and I patted you on the back, and I was like, are you ok? What I was trying to do at the pool table was to squash it, and it took a wrong turn. I don't even know how it happened! I was trying to tell you what Ronnie said was uncalled for, and I was trying to apologize..
Michele: I think it was that I was assuming the worst... Jeff was acting weird, because he had the power..
Russell: It was weird. It spun outta control. I don't know if you felt threatened, or what... and you know paranoia sets in... I went crazy!
Michele: I was like, ya know, Jeff was acting weird all week, and I felt totally set up.
Russell: I told him when you went inside: I was about to apologize! What happened?!
Michele: I think it was like, I thought if you had come up earlier? You patched things up with Chima, and it made me see where I stood a little bit, ya know? When it came down to it though, I would have kept you.

Russell: And I will look at you right now, I apologize. When I said good luck, y'know, it was sincere. I thought I was going home.
Michele: ...and with the power, and then Chima was telling everyone if they talked to you, you're going home.
Russell: And I felt like I couldn't patch things up with anyone. I was in a tough spot. Everyone was running away from me, and I was like, this sucks. It was two weeks, and you know, I apologize to you if I came at you wrong... It should've been squashed a lot sooner.
Michele: ...and I was on slop for the third week. I was like, f*ck this game!
Russell: After that night, you'll see it, I was like, she can be my partner! I think I have a partner finally! Then Natalie and Jessie came up that morning, saying you won't believe what she said, and I was like whoaaaa!!! Everytime I tried to figure out what was going on? I couldn't get a straight answer...
Michele: ...and then the green room thing? I was so confused. I didn't know what was going on!
Russell: I definitely am sorry. I know I should've squashed it earlier. I went crazy. I had two more people telling stories from everyone. Now that you're HoH, you're gonna hear stories from week two! You'll be like, what's the timeline? Me and Jeff weren't friends then, so that's a completely different time. You just have to figure out if it all makes sense. It just sucked. I don't have a partner in the game.

Michele: (laughs) You wanna be my partner?
Russell: Dude... I can see it being final four, and you'll be like, see ya!
Michele: Are you kidding? Jeff and Jordan will dump me so fast! If I want to win, I may have to take you..
Russell: I'm the villian.
Michele: ...and your not a girl. You can't win. Best case scenario for you at final 2 is you and Jeff, because they'll have to decide...
Russell: They'll never vote for me, you know? You think Jessie and Natalie will sit there saying he played a great game?! F*ck no.

***You'll be surprised by Jessie, Russell. He actually wanted it to be the 2 of you in F2... Granted, that's so he could win, but...

Michele: If we get to the final two, we both would have fu**ed a lot of people to get there. If I send Chima out? She'll be there in the jury house saying, "f*ck this, I'm not voting for either of them."

***America's Vote, anyone? I kid. If she's there, she'll vote.

Russell: Like I said about Ronnie! If he was there, he'd still be playing the game. I like running scenarios with you. You totally get it.
Michele: I told Chima whatever she wanted to hear, so that she wouldn't put me up, but I know she has to go. I felt bad sitting up here listening to her smear you all week...

***Case closed. Russell's back in the good graces.

Russell: 2weeks... Ya know!? I listened. And she goes personal... And to hear her make a racial slur, too? I mean, I told her that for her to say that is so hypocritical, and she said it just happened to be that you're Middle eastern. It's not my fault... and she called me a terrorist. I don't understand it..
Michele: That word came up a lot that week. It was really uncomfortable, and everyone cackled, and I was like, it's not ok. Even Jessie...
Russell: Are you serious?
Michele: Yeah. Jessie was laughing on that sh*t.
Russell: I just, all that tension...
Michele: Let's hug it out, man.

And they do...

Michele: You've shown mental endurance... You're not in that room saying get me the f*ck out of here.
Russell: She can dish it, but she sure can't take it. You know? She's down there crying, and I know she said something on TV... she has before. And I've not said a bad thing on national TV about her. It got to the point it was pointless, because no one would talk to me. I don't hate anyone in here but her.
Michele: ...and we had Lydia going back and forth talking sh*t...
Russell: It was to her benefit... I'm not mad at you. I meant what I said. I thought I was going home.
Michele: If Jessie was here, he'd be going up, so yeah, I gotcha.

Russell: To hear they were all laughing...
Michele: He thinks he's so smart? Sometimes the things that you said weren't good, but what Jessie did on a daily basis was far, far worse.
Russell: I don't know... maybe it's because I'm loud...

1:52am BBT - Jordan knocks and enters the HoH, joining Michele and Russell...

Russell: We just hugged it out, Jordy. You missed it.
Jordan: I was just gonna go to bed, and I was like you wanted me to sleep up here, and I felt bad, so I thought I would...

Michele: You don't have to stay up here...

Jordan: No, I want to...
Michele: Well, then, yeah! Stay up here! I'll let you and Jeff have it one night.
Jordan: No! It's your room! We can't do that...
Michele: No. It was a total team effort! It's our room...

Jordan gets under the covers...

Russell: I was just teling Michele, hearing people up here laughing because she called me a terrorist?
Michele: ...and people in the house saying don't say retarded, and stuff, but terrorist is ok?

Russell: People use their own set of rules when it comes to them. Like when Chima called Lydia a whore... Just because you're laughing, doesn't make it a joke. It's just those two weeks, when no one told her to stop, or calm down, I lost respect for a lot of people. I know it's hard to stick your neck out...
Jordan: I wouldn't. I don't want my head chopped off!

***LOL!

Russell: Yeah, I get that, and it's a game, but hearing them laugh... it's just.. that's not funny at all. I don't comment on race, culture or religion. Leave that out, and you can say whatever you want.
Jordan: I guarantee you if you made a racial slur to her, it would be bad..

BB: Michele, please come to the DR...

Sage Advice for Lydia & Natalie from Kevin...

Kevin: We're at the part of the game where we can't play like we did before. It's not about who you like...
Lydia: I think Chima and Natalie are bigger targets. I've done well. I'm not freaking out on anyone...
Kevin: Jeff is allowed to have his moment. This is his moment.
Lydia: Russell walked by me, and he was like, 'you don't look too happy that I'm here,' and I'm like 'why would I be happy you're here? someone I liked is gone!' Russell's a douchebag. I feel bad for you being in the middle of it all.
Kevin: I'm fu**ing ecstatic! I should have trusted my instincts that Jessie's a douchebag. Let me have my one minute rant. Jessie threw me under the bus twice. I thought he was like, I'm done with you. I had to tell him no, why not just be cordial to her like a houseguest. And he was like "no, I can't, Natalie won't let me talk to her, and she's nuts. She wants to kill her self," and he was always that I was the voice of reason. And did you hear what Chima said? She had to listen to Jessie tell her all the time how much she likes Natlaie? Ok. Rant over.

***Not a word penetrates...

Lydia: I went off on the DR. I mean, he didn't even have a chance.

Kevin: I don't need to bash your relationship.

Lydia: I mean, here's the thing, I'm not gonna know... I'll know when I see the show. The first thing I'll do when I get out is watch it all.

Kevin: It's probably not the right time to say it, but it's good for your game that he's gone. You need to think clearly. It's a job. We are here to work. We're clocking in and clocking out. You need to think clearly.

Lydia: I went in and told Jordan that I get it... I get what Jeff did...

Natalie enters.

She's pretty sure she's going up this week, and she says that she already has her speech ready. When Kevin tells her she's being defeatist, she says that if she stays, she's winning the next HoH and putting Jeff and Jordan on the block... In the meantime, her plan is to get Jeff to eat something, so he gets a penalty nom.

Kevin asks her if she's going to talk to Michele...

Natalie: I'm not even going to.. I can't... I mean, everytime I've been in HoH, it's been with people I'm cool with. I can't go up there and kiss her ass.
Kevin: Didn't you talk earlier?
Natalie: I told her I was going to go to bed early, so I gave her my 30 second shpiel. Basically, I don't know what your word means to you, but you gave your word... I've been 100% true, and I hope we're in the same boat... and if you put me up, I'll fight like hell for the PoV, but I'll respect whatever decision you make. I just assume one of the people you put up is going to be Russell.

Kevin: The only thing I got out of her was that I wasn't her target.

Lydia: She might just put up me and you...

Natalie: She didn't say a word to me, which is even worse. I mean, before Jeff fu**ed me, she wasn't even going after me.

Kevin: Don't interpret me giving you space is anything more than just me giving you space... Natalie: Oh no, I get it... We had our fights, too. It's just the nature of the game, you know... Kevin: The only advice I can give to you? Keep in mind that everyone else in the house doesn't feel the same way you do about Jessie. Just think about that...

Russell has just left to go to bed...

Michele: He's a good guy, mostly, but he lies. Do you think he'd backstab us and vote out Natalie instead of Chima?
Jordan: No... not this week. He hates Chima so much..

So.. Michele's not duped, she just has bigger targets.

Jordan & Michele wish there was a second Jeff in the house, so Michele could have someone she could trust 100% too.

It's pretty well decided, Chima is at the top of Michele's hit list. What hasn't been decided is who will sit next to her in the initial nominations - Natalie or Lydia.

Michele and Jordan talk game and chatter until just after 3:30am BBT...

This concludes the Overnight Report!!!

It's 9:25am BBT, and BB hasn't woken the HGs yet...
