BB13: Early Birds Practice

Good Morning BB Dishers!

The game started early this morning before BB even woke anyone up on  the live feeds ! If you want  detailed look into what happened last night, check out Carolyn's comprehensive and amazing Overnight Report !

7:04 AM BBT
Brendon gets up to go to the HoH washroom, and then makes his way downstairs to make coffee. Is someone up early to sneak in some practice?

Yes, he is! And look at the concentration on his face! He's talking to us but he\s inaudible over the plane noises and his buried microphone.
The others are fast asleep.

7:24 AM BBT
Brendon goes to HoH to awaken Rachel to get her to help him by setting up balls. A groggy Rachel asks what time it is, and sleepily agrees to join him. He urges her a bit more that they need to practice. She doesn't look like she's budging.

Meanwhile, Shelly is up. and makes her way to the kitchen.  She and Brendon exchange greetings as she goes to the bathroom and he makes another cup of coffee.

A few moments later, Rachel stumbles out of bed, gets dressed, goes to the HoH bathroom to brush her teeth and get ready to meet Brendon downstairs.

Shelly comes outside with a coffee, tells him she will have a smoke and then help him out. They chit chat about the game. Shelly tells him that Cassi and Lawon practiced until 5:15 am. They both agree that they need to take breaks otherwise it defeats the purpose.

Rachel joins them outside. She exchanges chirpy greetings with Shelly and tells Rachel, "Let's do it."

Brendon: Lawon and Cassi were practicing until 5:15 this morning.
Shelly: Til 5
Rachel: For what?
Brendon: Cassi wants to win HoH.... It ain't gonna happen. Shelly will win HoH.
Shelly: I just want to see pictures of my family. (*Sure that's the point of HoH...)

Rachel goes in to get coffee while Brendon practices by hitting the balls to specific places. When Rachel comes out, she asks who they think Lawon would put up should he win HoH. They all agree that Jeff and Jordan would be most of "the others" targets, especially Jordan because she won before. Rachel and Brendon  don't buy it. They believe they would gun for Jeff. Shelly says she doesn't want to "separate people because she is too much of a romantic".

Brendon asks her to practice. She declines because she won't be competing for HoH. Brendon gives her a mini lecture about her thinking she knows everything. This competition might be for PoV, he says. They speculate who the newbies would put up if the vets are safe.

Rachel: Do they know what they will do if they put up Jeff and Jordan and how much the fans will hate them? They are the most favorite players of all time.

Shelly tells them that the newbies think that all of them will be voting to keep Keith, but they're concerned about Kalia.

Shelly: I don't understand why they think her.
Rachel: Cause they treat her like crap?
Brendon: Who will Lawon vote for?
Shelly: He will vote for Keith (to stay). He shook on it... I asked Cassi who she was voting for. She said I'm voting to keep Keith. She said she and Porsche don't get along. I told her I just need to know.
Rachel: Do you think Cassi has the balls to win HoH or will she let Dom do it.


Shelly says that Cassi told her she was with them 100%. Rachel asks for how long? She and Brendon know that Cassi is not with them. Shelly guesses correctly (*I think) that this competition will be an elimination one. They both agree that Keith is feeling confident that he will be staying. Shelly asks if Porsche is feeling confident. Brendon says, "Not necessarily. I told her to campaign." Shelly confirms that Porsche came to talk to her about keeping her.

Rachel tries her hand at the game and does very well.

Brendon: And the other person we don't trust is Adam.
Shelly: Really?
Brendon: Yeah .. we thing he would be the one who would want to gain fame (*paraphrasing) by getting rid of veterans.
Shelly: We were sitting outside. Keith started the discussion saying we have the numbers. And Dom was upset that you (the vets) were upstairs when we're not supposed to be a game united.

Shelly tells them that Adam is a nice person... (*in an attempt to get the other member of her side alliance to safety)

The conversation turns to Dominic and Cassi. They agree that they're trying to snow the others by saying that he and Cassi are just hanging out together and not allied.

They speculate that the actual competition will not be the same, that BB usually throws a curve. Rachel thinks there might be a spinning component to the game. She wonders if Cassi and Lawon are good at the game. Brendon says that neither of them are.

8:09 AM BBT
Brendon urges Rachel to practice even though she thinks it might be for HoH, it could be for PoV. Rachel says that it's not because she doesn't want to practice but that she doesn't want to take time away from them.

Brendon asks Shelly who is the biggest person she is worried about. Shelly takes her time to answer.
She finally says, given who her partner is,  Porsche because she can't keep her mouth shut, but then Dominic is the one to look for.

**This season is all game play, all the time. Sleep is the only thing that stops them! Keep the live feeds sparked! You never know what you're missing.

8:21 AM BBT
The three are still practicing interspersed with talk about the game and the strategy.

Shelly: They said if you go to them and try to strong arm them, they will threaten you because they have the numbers.
Rachel: I'd like him to tell that to my face.
Shelly: It's Dominic. He's the one who said it.
Brendon: But Cassi is behind him pulling the strings.

They agree that they will let the newbies think what they want and feel "pumped up" that the power lies with them.

Shelly: Kalia doesn't think she will make it through the summer. Or at least she wants us to think that.
Rachel: That's why she wants the golden key so bad.
Shelly: Like Dani. She hates the golden key.
Rachel: That's because she's a competitor.

Talk turns to Evel Dick's departure which resulted in Lawon and Keith throwing each other under the bus. (*I guess we need the show to find out what happened.)

Brendon and Rachel reinforce that Shelly is the one person they truly trust and want to take far in the game. Shelly says it's mutual. (**Is it? I can't wait for DRs!)

Rachel goes inside to see to breakfast. Shelly and Brendon talk about his relationship with Rachel. She asks him if his head would be in the game if his head would stay in the game. He says definitely. He later says that although he loves being in the game with Rachel, it would be better for him to play alone because his head would be all about money.

9:03 AM BBT
Still no wake up call.

9:20 AM BBT

Rachel brings out breakfast for herself and Brendon as the other two wind down their practice. The others sleep. The three sit down at the sofas to eat and chill. They're happy they got up early to practice. Brendon was nervous that BB would have put them on lock down early. Happy chit chat ensues.

9:34 AM BBT
The three outside are talking about driving, expenses and other sundry topics. No game talk.
No sign of life on the other feeds.
Outside talk has moved to slashes in science funding.

9:37 AM BBT
BB: Rachel. Please go to the Diary Room.
Rachel talks about the way she was in BB hindered her options for getting jobs. One job interviewer asked her if she would be the way she was in the house under pressure. Shelly tells her to own her behavior, it would give her points.

When Rachel goes to DR, Brendon tells Shelly about his relationship and how other people's opinions won't affect their relationship.

All four feeds switch to Adam and Keith in the washroom after a brief palm tree session @ 9:41 AM BBT
