BB12: The House Meeting
Today on the live feeds, Andrew called the much-awaited meeting... It wasn't a smack down, and it's doubtful that it has helped him stay in the house, but it was heart-felt and a beautiful moment none-the-less...
5:44 PM BBT
Living Room
Everyone
Andrew: I appreciate taking out the time. I don't usually like to get attention, you know this about me...
Andrew: This past week has been very emotional, stressful, but a great experience. It's great to be here. It's a miracle for each and every one of us.
He gets quite choked up with emotion... You can hear the tears in his voice..
This is reflected in his audience's eyes...
Andrew: We all gave up to be here. It's amazing but, even though I haven't slept well, eaten well, or other things, I still have to be proper. Kristen. This morning, it did sound as if I was snapping at you. I apologize. I was feeling secluded, alone for the past few days.. being on the block does that to a person... and if you don't have someone to release it to, it's hard.
Andrew: It's not that I thought you were doing something dirty, it's just that I thought the one friend I have in the house, who I'm up against is, is taken away. It's hard. I apologize. I know it came out badly.
Andrew: Secondly, during the PoV meeting some of you thought I was aggressive to go after Brendon and Rachel. I thought I was doing the same thing. I realize you're a strong couple...
Andrew: I have nothing against you, Rachel. I didn't mean to insult you if you took that as an insult. Other than that, it's hard to be on the nomination, and when you're on the nomination, and if you're a have not, and can't eat like you're used to, it's hard.
This especially rings true to Enzo....
Andrew: I do believe there is estrogen in this protein shake...
Everyone laughs.
Andrew: So please, no hard feelings. It is a game, obviously, but it's still personal for all of us. I appreciate being here and meeting all of you. Whatever happens in the next 25 hours, it affects everybody, and I know we're still friends, and I know it's going to be hard.
Andrew: Whatever you do decision-wise, do whatever you decide. I have no problem. I just want people to talk to me. I do realize I make the decision seclude myself. It's my personality, unfortunately. I do ask to talk to people and when I do, people think it's more a game or something. You're right, it's hard for me, and I'm being honest, so.. I appreciate it.. and I know Kristen in the past you stuck up for me... and I'm just letting everyone know. Thanks so much for everything and whatever does happen...
Andrew: Kathy. You know I love you, and I don't think I have ever thrown you under the bus, or spoken any bad word to anyone about you...Because I won't. It's not my character.
Kathy: And I have not done.. You can ask anybody. I have never said anything.It's not my character either....
Andrew: So whatever you guys decide, you guys decide. I appreciate it. Thank you.
He retreats to the Insect Room to pray, leaving the others speechless.
Ragan looks like he is about to cry... Then...
Enzo: That Ex Lax worked great...
The HGs disperse and go to the kitchen to cook/eat...
Andrew retires to the Have Not room to cry... A full 30 minutes later, not one HG has crossed the threshold. The Lane comes in and proves he is more than a cowboy; he's a gentleman. Lane tells Andrew how impressed he is with him on a daily basis, and even moreso tonight.
Brendon makes the next appearance, hugging Andrew and telling him how proud he is of him. Brendon leaves for a moment, then returns with his PoV necklace, which he gives to Andrew as a gesture of friendship. Andrew tries to decline this special gift, but Brendon wont hear of it, and Andrew thanks him and tucks it away in his suitcase.
Matt makes the next appearance. He tells Andrew, "No matter what. You did good. I appreciate it." As Andrew is still weeping, Matt takes his leave, telling Andrew he'll "leave him alone."
Andrew has another few minutes alone in there, then he works himself upright and convinces himself that having some food will help...

Ya got me Genie.
***SPLAT***
A 'Nothing Nice Pie'.
:o)
Okay I posted this on the other one and noticed after I sent it that y'all said that there was another top post.
Sooo, I know that I've only been watching since season 8 or 9 but I don't remember this many house meetings in the past if any. Am I wrong?
Brendon is not a golfer.
OT
P.S. I Love You is on Lifetime. Jeffrey Dean Morgan...sigh!
Gaytor - LOL! Muah!!
Hey Brother Mouzone :) Have a *WOnderful* Vacation!
It's ok GaYToR, Genie got me too.
Here's my comment, seriously Rachel, stop talking. It doesn't matter how you justify it, "dating" that way makes you sound bad. I'm very surprised Brittney and Kristin are backing her up.
Also what did Ragan say? I missed it.
Rachel is getting upset that Kristen keeps talking.
I was really hoping that Andrew was going to join this game. When you see the way he is right now, he has given up, he knows he is going home so he isn't even trying.
Others would go psycho knowing they are going home, one might even pull a Chima! But to roll over and give up, so sad, fight!
I am going to go soak in the jacuzzi, I had quite the work out last night and am sore . . .
on the roof with the ball! Remember one season the frisbie - or was it a ball - kept going on the roof and they would try to get it and BB would stay, "knock it off" - I so wanted to yell back, they are trying . . .
I hope andrew has a chance now and kathy is so full of it saying its not her character....
Andrew is thw man we need to get on the Amazing Race!
Hopefully America gets to pick who comes back in the house.
I so want Andrew to out Kristen and Hayden on his way out. I don't think they've been too discreet anyway. I hope somehow what he said tonight will sway a couple of votes.
Aw, poor Andrew. I did watch it on flashback and with his voice cracking, I almost wanted to cry with him. He really is not the right personality for this game. I feel so bad for him, and I don't believe he said anything that is going to get him a vote. I think they are going to feel more like I do, that he and this game are not a good fit.
I must say I am disappointed as he implied he was going to divulge some "things" he knew that would help Brendon and turn things around. Did he decide not to do that? (out Kristen and Hayden?) Makes you wonder if he has decided he wants to go at this point. I am also starting to wonder about the friendship between him and Brendon. I know a lot of viewers have said they seem to 'know' each other when they talk, and I was pa-shawing that until today. Then it was like 'things that make you go hmmmm'.
Ok, maybe this helped a little? Their faces seem sincere.. He NEEDS to pull Hayden & Kristin aside though and let them know that he knows and he will out it...I am also wondering if he figured out the brogade(sp?)?!
Okay. I just saw the PoV ceremony because I was busy transcribing the meeting. I don't know what the HGs saw, but I didn't see Rachel's reaction as over the top...
aw. He was so sweet and genuine. He could have been nasty and outed K/H but he took the high road. I did always like him. I just wish he played a little harder. But you know, if he leaves tomorrow, he will with his dignity in tact. If he stays, I hope he brings his game and makes it the end. Ragan and Andrew: final 2!
Andrew's position is not something I envy. To sit in front of all those people, and apologize, when I personally don't think he needed to apologize, took a tremendous amount of class and courage...
Genie, don't think they showed us Rachael's reaction for some reason. I was questioning that too.
Also, for those that keep thinking outing Hayden & Kristen is going to 'shake up' the house, I really can't see that happening. I think a lot of them already know. Kathy does and we know how well she keeps her mouth shut :) B/R suspect, Brigade is probably too dense to realize what it means..probably high five Hayden! Just don't think it will change anything. IMO
I thought the expressions of people were really interesting. I don't think the screen caps really captured it. Most everyone was very sympathetic, including our sweet Britney. Except Kristen, who is bitter, and Kathy, who is pissed it might affect her (she is not the sweet woman she plays off to be). The guys were all really great (and Enzo wasn't being as jerky at the end as it sounds in writing, he was breaking tension and also just saying he felt better).
I agree, Genie. She looked a little shocked, but that's about it. Unless CBS edited it to make her look good. Tmorrow is going to be keeping me on edge all day, but sadly, I think we all know what will happen. Hopefully, Andrew will get a vote from Brendon. If not, I think he will feel even worse.
Watched the house meeting. Not as explosive as I had hoped. :(
Watching Matt interact with the others, even the bro-gade, he seems to me like he's always having to work at fitting in. Maybe it's because he's lied to everyone including his alliance that he's afraid of being caught, but to me he always seems like he's struggling to fit in. You know kinda like being a 3rd wheel kind of thing. *shrugs* But then again maybe it's just me seeing things....lol
I don't want andrew to leave! He cant give up this soon!
Ronda, I agree-at this point, Hayden and Kristen will out themselves. Brendon and Rachel cant really say much b/c they are doing the same, just out in the open. Like you said, Kathy knows. as for the Brigade? maybe they will just hope for Kristen as part of the team? I can't see it harming either of them
Jane, Genie was trying to get the post up as fast as possible... I thought she did a super job of it.
dang ya Genie I was just going to say the same thing. lol
I am way to slow tonight, I'll blame it on my CP. lol
At least Andrew will leave with his dignity intact is so true.
Kathy said she would keep her dignity the entire time she is in the house. She lost that a long time ago from what I see on the feeds. She could indeed slide through to the end because no one sees through her.
:o)
anyone know if Matt's hoh blog is up?
I don't think that meeting helped Andrew. Considering he hasn't come out of his room in over an hour.
Yeah, I'm not feeling BB12's house meetings. They just aren't productive. I think we were way spoiled by BB11.
I agree that I think Andrew has given up. I hate when HG's on the block do that. But I do agree that it was his own fault, unfortunately. Kinda like BB11 Michele. When they act normal it still comes off as abnormal to others.
I believe Rachel's reaction to the POV Ceremony was after it was adjourned. I believe I heard them talking about crying. As much real crying as Rachel can actually do.
Genie I didn't see Rachal's reaction as any different than the other people either! I think she is taking a bad rap on this particular thing!
I wish that production would somehow "help" Andrew. Kathy adds nothing to this game. She certainly showed her true colors this week.
As someone who doesn't get the live feeds I can't thank you ladies enough for the awesome work!!
Lisa, HOH blog isn't up yet. I'm torn with whether I want to read it or not. I'm not seeing any redemption coming out of it for him in my eyes. But we'll see.
Did anyone see Matt's HOH Twitter?
"Ragan just proposed to me with a twist-tie ring! What do I say?! I'm so giddy!"
lol!
I want to see Andrew out K&H but as someone else said, it won't do a bit of good.
It could be told that Lane and Britney are acting like bunnies, Matt and Regan are really having a sexual showmance, or Enzo and Lane, or Kathy and Kristen.
Everyone is so focused on getting out Brendon, and later, Rachel, that any combination would be high-fived. I personally don't get it.
The only difference between R&B and H&K are that R&B don't hide it.
I'd rather know of a showmance out in the open rather than a secret one. But that's me. I'll never understand such hate for Brendon. I can understand a bit for Rachael but again, that's just my opinion and that and $6 would buy Carolyn a Starbucks.
:o)
I believe Andrew said after the meeting, as he was going into the Insect Room, that he was going to pray.
I hope that's why the HGs left him alone so long -- to let him pray.
Hayden's fishing for info again.. IS this a glimmer of hope I see?
If it doesn't put a target on their backs, why have they tried so hard to keep it secret?
Andrews got more than just K/H but now he looks like he's decided on a quiet exit instead of a bang.
Great job Genie!:) It looked more to me like Kristen was looking at him with proudness and tenderness and maybe a little shame for how she had acted earlier as well.
Kathy should have just been quiet IMO instead of lying.
Carolyn I really hope Hayden is thinking of keeping andrew and that he can get enough people on board!
I know a lot of people think he just gave up but for someone with his "social" problems he openly admits, you gotta give him huge amounts of credit for doing what he did...to me that's his way of "fighting"
Caro, I still think Hayden is undecided on his vote for tomorrow.Regardless of what he tells Kristen or the Bros., I think he is seriously considering giving Andrew his vote. Only problem is who else will? Brendon, Rachel, possibly Ragan? That is still only 4. You never know, the tide could still turn
I wasn't criticizing Genie. The pictures are stills and didn't capture the expressions as he talked, like Britney shaking her head in a yes motion, that's all. People should watch it.
Genie you always rock.
WoW!!
I was very impressed with Andrew. No matter when he walks out that door, he can do so holding his head high.
Kathy seemed to be the only one who felt the need to say anything during his meeting. Which tells me she is surely feeling a bit defensive. And probably a tad guilty and so she should.
Kathy will probably spend the rest of these 25 hrs trying to convince herself and others that she is all that Andrew said and more.
All I can say for how I feel is, the ones who bash him about this meeting will slide drastically down my favorite scale.
I have go to sleep, work at 5:30am, so something will probably happen now ;)
Good night Carolyn, Genie, fellow dishers.
GaYToR
Well said. I thought the way Rachel played the POV showed that she was pretty smart. I know the others think she's dumb. The only thing I find annoying about her is her laugh.
Carolyn...maybe there is hope. If it comes down to it Brendon can get Rachel's vote-so just two more are needed. If Matt really plans to break the tie. Afraid though, all this wishing is pointless.
G'nite MIchigan Man :) Sleep well. :)
Jane, thanks for clarifying. :) much appreciated.
ok, well, I must go do the dreaded laundry, but I may pop over later to say hi. If not have a good evening an I will see you all back here for the live show tomorrow.
Thanks Carolyn :)
I really should go to bed, since my flight's kinda early, but I know I'll stay up and watch BBAD.
Lisa - No cursing in my comment section! blech.. laundry.
Jane - Thank you :) I was trying hard to get just the right expression on the caps, but I would still be trying! lol :)
Is it naive of me to wish for a Hayden, Rachel alliance???
I think Andrew is playing it smart right now, even if he isn't doing it intentionally. There is a whole other day and he shouldn't be too aggressive now or his whole speech will seem insincere. Kathy will probably do some damage to herself tonight, she's not quite as nice as she proclaims, and then Andrew can step in carefully. That's what I think anyhow. Also I see no good in him outing Kristen and Hayden right now. Bad timing. What would it serve?
Johnny_5, the way I see it is that as a Bragade bro, as someone said, they would all think it's great that he's getting some.
EVERYONE is so intent on getting rid of R&B they couldn't care less about anything going on in the house.
That's my opinion.
:o)
Hi everyone,
i will be back later to post but at this moment, after reading the above post, i just cant stop crying. i want to give andrew a big hug, awwww, poor guy..
where is that box of kleenex
It's so difficult to capture most of this stuff in writing, since their tone and expressions tell so much. You guys always do an amazing job telling the story. It's not easy in this format.
Much as I love hanging with you all... I need to head to bed... Two more days and then vacation!!
Night everyone! *thud* :)
Night y'all! Thanks for all the comprehensive coverage that has been my lifeline this past weekend!
Knowing the CBS schedule, I'm not sure why Andrew couldn't have waited 15 minutes to have his meeting. That's o.k. The joys of being able to pause television.
Was he sincere. It sounded like he was but only time will tell. If he stays, we will know by his actions in the house. If he goes, we will know by whether or not he leaves with dignity.
Why, oh why did Kathy feel she just had to have the last word. At the beginning of life on the block all Andrew had to do was keep his mouth shut and remain calm in order to stay in the house. After the POV speech, that is basically all Kathy had to do. Frankly, I won't be surprised if they do vote her out just so they don't have to listen to her anymore.
In regards to the conversation between Rachel and Hayden, I didn't hear the whole thing but I hope he doesn't buy anything she's selling. She isn't trying to give Hayden good advice. She isn't trying to do the noble thing for Andrew. Her only concern is keeping her and Brendon in this game. That's fine-no one plays BB to lose. But I hate that she keeps harping the idea of a deserving person making it to the end when it's obvious that deserving person means her and Brendon in final 2.
Hey TG :) I know, right? Poor bubby... On the bright side.. Hayden's still undecided...
Jane - Thanks so much. :)
Hey Syn :) I've been missing you!!!!!!
I'm trying to psych myself into a new top post..
So tired!
If you haven't thudded yet Genie, nighty night! Sleep tight! Don't let the HG's invade your dreams! Unless they are good dreams!
I am sure the blog will be ending soon since you are all up and it is 11 on your side of the continent.
Enjoyed spending the evening with you all!
Hello Caro, Genie and everyone!
I'm back and haven't yet read all the comments but did read the blog, and before I go to liking Lane for consoling Andrew, was he one of the members in the HOH room who was ridiculing Andrew during prayer?
Hi Grendon :)
oh carolyn, i just dont think hayden's vote will be enough as i really dont see kristen voting for him either.
i cant believe, i just cant stop the tears.
on the feeds tonight, how are thinngs looking for andrew? are they still ignoring him?
I hope kristen catches on to kathy's lies.
Goodnite genie, and thank you so much for writing the house meeting, a great job indeed. the pictures were worth a million words, sniff sniff
tg - i gotta have hope...
jluvs - i didn't take it as ridiculing.. more ignorance, which has led to an appreciation...
hey steph :)
tg - they're not ignoring him..
Caro, thanks for that, I feel so much better about him then :)
Nite Genie!
well if you have hope, then so will i. come on everyone, the power of brain washing the other hg to keep andrew...
keep andrew
keep andrew
keep andrew
Hey gaytor
I don't see any thing wrong with how you see it. Outing H/K won't save Andrew, may make it worse, but it would have some effect on the house dynamic. Doubts, paranoia, fears. I just want the dynamic to change
tg, I like the way you think,
I'm Team Andrew too :)
Caro! Shouldn't you be getting ready for nite nite since tomorrow is the big day?
And I remember you guys are going to take it easy since it's a slow feeds day!
I just worry bout ya :)
xoxo
You should rest your weary bones Caro. Me thinks it will be calm tonight. Really, they are a very mellow bunch and very much predictable. IMO
Still think they are all too concerned with their 'acting' then playing the game.
Also I think Andrew has more secrets than just H/K. Still probably won't save him. If I was leaving the BB house I would leave as much Chaos as possible in my wake, I don't think Andrew has it in him.
During the lull, I'm going to get a snack. I'll see you guys in a bit.
Keep Andrew!!
Get rid of Kathy!!
Keep Andrew!!
Get rid of Kathy!!
Keep Andrew!!
Get rid of Kathy!!
Keep Andrew!!
Get rid of Kathy!!
Keep Andrew!!
Get rid of Kathy!!
Keep Andrew!!
Get rid of Kathy!!
Night Genie, sleep tight.
They are not ignoring Andrew, he has isolated himself. A few have seen him and spoken to him, but he said he was going to pray. When they have seen him out, they have all acknoledged him.
Going back to the show since things are calm in the house to beyond the point of boring...
I loved the candles in the PoV comp. I wish I had a room I could set up such a display. I'd turn it into the best voodoo altar in the city.
:o)
ok, yeah. i don't have another one in me tonight..
it's lights out for me.
nite nite, sweet dishers. :)
Late Night with Lessa Starts at 11pm BBT.
xo,
C
I'm not gonna give up hope until tomorrow after the vote is in :) GO ANDREW!!
Miss Lissa: how strange, we watched the same 'show' and I thought Kristen was looking more like the cat that got away with eating the canary! Kind of like, yeah Andrew, keep digging your grave! No one is buying this!
Kind of with a little glimmer in her eye, too!
I sooooooo want Andrew to stay. At first I wasn't really sure who I liked this season and now I'm definitely sold on both Andrew and Ragan.
Andrew made some dumb moves - but he seems the most real to me. I hate seeing him so sad while Kathy masquerades as the most innocent player in the game.
I can't believe the HG's aren't anticipating the possibility that she's actually
Help!!!How the heck do you find the BB HOH blogs? I went to CBS / big brother and still can't find.
Sweet Dreams Caro. Get some ice and enjoy. Not looking forward to what I think is going to happen with eviction but looking forward to a (hopeful) Brendon HoH.
:o)
I'm glad to see people are bashing Kathy for her blatant smear campaign against the people she considered "friends" less than a week ago.
She's the quintessential floater, who deserves to be used by whomever she gloms onto, and then kicked to the curb when she's no longer needed!
As for Andrew, well, he clearly didn't do much to endear himself to people, until it was too late.
If he stays in the house, I think he'll be a force to be reckoned with!
well, I had to come back because I am really tired if all the bashing of past seasons HGs. Now Brendon is telling Rachel how their relationship is real and they are going to continue outide the house and how he new from the start that Ollie and April weren't real. It is so easy for him because he is in a house with a small group and of course when there is a girl you are attracted to you can say all that stuff.But I am willing to bet they will never last outside the house. He is talking about them living together an dmaking her breakfast. please. they come from such differnt worlds. I already see it crumbling. When he was saying how his parents are so conservative and he was saying stuff about her clothes. His parents are probably freaking out. and Rachel was wondering if CBS has interviewed their friends and family yet. I could be wrong,but I just dont see it lasting. On another note, glad to see Andrew outside interacting with the others and how sweet is Lane tonight saying how he understands Andrew's situation and he uses humor to mask his shyness. I am really starting to like him.
