The Overnight Report
Good Morning, BB Lovers! :0) Happy Monday!It's PoV Ceremony Day in the BB House, but unless Pandora's Box makes another appearance or the Fortune Teller starts talking, this one wont be too suspenseful! ;0)
They're playing Bullsh*t with the Tea Bag Cards that Rachel made. It's a perfect choice for the Big Brother house, since there's so much lying... Shelly nails it.
Porsche: Adam! I think we're gonna nair your back hair pretty soon.
I often tease that the Overnight Report goes great with coffee, but it's really true!
I mentioned last night during the viewing party that someone would be winning a new BBDish Mug.. That someone is... KScooterfox! Congrats!
I bought a bunch of stuff last night, including a tshirt to give Adam in Vegas, in hopes he'll use it to remember my url. ;)
We added a ton of BBDishSwag for BB13 last night. Go take a peek while I start culling and transcribing. Syn & C=Venus did all the graphics. Cool stuff!
The flip flops crack me up... although I have to admit, I'm a little troubled by the idea of people stepping on my face all day.
If you were away from the feeds or the dish this weekend and you need catching up, please have a look at yesterday's Overnight Report for details and live feed flashback times...
If you haven't gotten the live feeds yet, you really want to go look at the post from Saturday, 20 Million! BBDish Gives Back! - in celebration & gratitude, 10 live feeds latecomers who get their feeds via the links here on BBDish are going to be reimbursed for a month subscription! Due to the hurricane and power outages effecting so many on the eastern seaboard, I'm extending the offer through this coming Thursday. Again, please see the details on that post.
OK.. Time to make the donuts! Please check back here at 6am BBT for the first few sections of the overnight...

Rachel's doing lunges across the yard
Jordan: I feel like I've made some really bad decisions.
Rachel: Me too. Just like, stupid mistakes.
Jordan: You're like all about workout woman tonight!
Rachel: Yeah.. Cuz.. There's gonna be some speed stuff and some more Endurance stuff.
Jordan: Well, I'll work out tomorrow.
Rachel: Yeah.. Well, there's gonna be skills, so you take care of those. Cuz I'm really bad at those.
Jordan: Rachel, I was thinkin' about this..
Jordan turns to make sure they're still alone in the yard.
Jordan: If Adam is with us to 3? Tell me if somebody's comin'...
Rachel: No..
Jordan: Can you see?
Rachel: Yeah.
Jordan: To 3? Like 3 of us? All we gotta do is get rid of 2 more people and that's it.
***Since in their minds, they've moved ahead to Thursday, and Shelly's already gone, and they're already at final 5.
Rachel: I know.
Jordan: Cuz.. We can not get split up. If we get plait up and I'm stuck in here by myself, I will shoot myself.
Rachel: I know. God.
Jordan: I can not be here by myself.
Rachel: Here comes Shelly..
Friendly chatter ensues with Shelly... They've mended personal fences... Compliments for Rachel's from Shelly.. Compliments for Shelly from Rachel and Jordan. Talk turns to the whole BB experience and how much clearer it becomes once you watch the season. Jordan and Rachel share that neither Jeff nor Brendon have ever watched their seasons... Then Shelly has a psychic and rather poignant moment, considering the absurd and disturbing madness that's been circulating..
Shelly: I told Tony, there's all these people online, and half of them will hate me, and half of them may like me, but you're going to read stuff that's going to hurt your feelings about me... and I said, people are gonna say stuff on the show... They could all hate me and be callin' me every name in the book. He's like, "They don't know you." We've watched the show every season.. You see how people get mad.. You see how people.. And then you see these people that are together after, and they're friends and they get past it, and everything else. Ya know.. He's gonna.. It'll be interesting to see how it all plays out... Tony is very honest. He cannot tell a lie. So he'll give it to me straight.. good or bad.
***Heavy sigh. I know the caliber of people who come to this site, so I know none of you have participated in the horrific threats and harassment against Shelly's family. For those elsewhere that have, Shame on you.
***Do people vent here? Sure. Moreso on Shelly than anyone else? Yup. She's the magnet of the season. Do I publish vile attacks on any HG? Never.

Adam's watching the clock...
Adam: C'mon second clock, you.
He's willing it to turn to 10:10, so he can do his nightly shout-out to Fara.
Adam: C'mon second clock, you.
He's willing it to turn to 10:10, so he can do his nightly shout-out to Fara.

All the HGs are gathered together outside to play cards. The mood is light and happy.
They're playing Bullsh*t with the Tea Bag Cards that Rachel made. It's a perfect choice for the Big Brother house, since there's so much lying... Shelly nails it. Shelly: Holy sh*t, we got some liars in this group!
Rachel: one 9.
Jordan: Wait.. what's after 9?
Kalia: 10.
Rachel: 10
Jordan: No, I didn't mean it like that... but we don't have...
Rachel: Yeah.
Porsche: Well, you don't have a 10, so go ahead and pick those up.
Jordan: Man!!
All: (Laugh)
As the game starts off, they show themselves to be extraordinarily good at knowing when the others are lying.. The critters have been together long enough, studying each other's behaviors and tells, that this is not just fun and funny to watch, and refreshing, since they're legitimately enjoying each other, it's fascinating.
10:27pm
Shelly wants someone with pull to go into the DR and request real cards...
Shelly: We love tea bags, but give us some cards!
Kalia: Who doesn't like a good teabag once in a while?
Shelly: hehehe

The BS game breaks up, as Shelly goes to the Storage Room to check for real cards - nope. Jordan gets up to change into her bathing suit, so she can go in the jacuzzi... Rachel heads inside too, and Shelly returns, reporting no cards and no beer in the Storage room.
This leaves Porsche, Kalia and Shelly on the couch alone at 10:42pm... on feeds 3 and 4
Kalia: Did you tell Rachel about the thing? About the sorceress?
Shelly: Oh, they heard everybody talking about it.
Kalia: Oh, they did?
Porsche: When?
Shelly: (owns up) She asked me about it.
Porsche: Ooh.
Shelly: I know it's nothing.
Kalia: I know.. but so she asked...
Shelly: She asked me earlier.
Kalia: She asked me too, and I was like, I don't know.. I know the sign wasn't there, and she like, didn't, (Adam comes outside) you know.
Shelly chooses to proceed with Adam out there.
Shelly: No, they heard something and they asked me.. They said, I heard you talked to the sorceress.. I said, "I didn't really talk to her. She moved around a lot! She didn't say sh*t in 3 hours!"
Porsche: mm
Shelly: It's a ___ deal.
Porsche: Well, in all this time it hasn't moved, so at least something.
Shelly: She said she saw it move earlier in the year. Rachel did.
Porsche: We saw the eyes move once.
Shelly: She said she saw it go through it's whole routine once.
Porsche: mm
Shelly: I don't know if she's lyin' about it.
Porsche: She didn't, cuz I would've known.. Cuz we used to play with it. We used to like, paint it's nails and stuff.
Adam: Kinda makes sense that that would be the Otev... Sorceress.. and Tarot Cards throughout the yard.
Murmurs of agreement from the others.. At 10:44pm, Rachel returns to the backyard.. Talk turns to junkfood... At 10:46pm, Jordan returns to the backyard..
Adam: Jordan, this is gonna sound awkward.. Do you mind if I join you in the hot tub?
Jordan: No, not at all.
Adam: My body is f*ckin' sore. My back is killin' me.
Kalia: mm hmm
Adam: I mean, I don't know how it could be hurting from holding that f*ckin' thing for 5 minutes, but..
BB: That's what.. she said.
Adam: Ho!
Kalia/Porsche/Rachel/Shelly: hahahaahahahaa!!!
Shelly: That is awesome!
Adam: Ohhhh!!!
Kalia: That was funny!
Shelly: They listen carefully.. That was good! Oh my..
Adam: There better not be a competition with "Which one of these statements had a "That's what she said."
Adam gets up and goes inside to the kitchen for a private word with BB.
Adam: Thank you, Big Brother. You make me sound like a f'in pervert. One guy out of 5 girls...
Outside, the women continue laughing about it.. then Shelly tries to make smoke rings...

Adam is in the jacuzzi. Rachel and Jordan and sitting and chatting with him. Shelly, Kalia and Porsche are chatting on the couch.
It's all sweetness and light til Adam arises from the jacuzzi, presenting his back to the women on the couch...
Shelly: Oh, we need to shave that boy so badly.
Kalia/Porsche: I know!!!
Porsche: We need to nair things into his back.
Kalia: On 2nd thought, I'm not getting into the hot tub. hehe. I can't.
Shelly: Poor Fara.
Kalia: Apparently, I guess she likes it. Could you imagine?
Shelly: No, I could not.
Kalia makes arm motions, as if she's running her fingers through Adam's back hair... complete with ooh ahh sound effects.
Porsche: Adam! I think we're gonna nair your back hair pretty soon.Adam: What?! You're gonna nair my back?
Shelly: It wont hurt. We gotta do it, man.
***yes, please.
Adam: No, it wont hurt to do it, but when it starts growin' back and it gets all stubbly, that's when it's gonna...
***You're outnumbered here, bubby.. Apparently I'm not the only one with the icks on back hair.
Porsche: Alright, so we're gonna use the clippers on it.
Kalia: I volunteer my nair.
Jordan: Why don't we shave all this? (indicating his shoulders)
Shelly: Why don't we just shave it all tonight?
Jordan: Yeah! It'll give us somethin' to do!
Shelly: It'll give us something to do, Adam!
They persist. Adam's smiling, but shaking his head rapidly..
Shelly: It'll be so much better. We're only here to help you.
Jordan: In a couple weeks, you'll see Fara, and she'll be like...
Shelly: And she'll be like..
Jordan: Look at that clean back!
Shelly: She can actually leave nail marks on your back.
Adam: She does already...
Porsche/Kalia: Woooo!
Adam: I mean.. she clips her nails and puts em on my back. That's what I meant..
ALL: Ewwwww!
***Cut him some slack. He was trying to remember he's a gentleman, but couldn't come up with anything better.
Jordan: Adam, pleeeeease!!! Pleeease!!!
Shelly: Adam, do you want some more tv time?
Jordan: Yeah!! You'll definitely get tv time!
Adam: For nairing my back?
Jordan: Fara will love us!
This hillarious exchange continues, but so does the night, and as much as I'm enjoying it, I'm got to press on. Sadly, the Overnight doesn't write itself. If you'd like to on flashback, please go to 10:58pm on the quad.. If you need the feeds, here's the 3 day free trial.
The talk moves on to Jeff's manscaping peculiarities, as explained by Jordan... doing her Jeff impersonation.. uber cuteness.

Backyard Couch
The slip Shelly made earlier did not go unnoticed. Porsche's calling her out to Kalia...
Kalia: That's fine. I don't care about her telling that, cuz she doesn't think it means anything.. but as far as her going and actually telling them? Did you see how when Adam went inside, she was like, "Are you guys keeping an eye on him?"
Porsche: Because she's sketched out. Cuz she's scared.
Kalia: She gets so paranoid when she's on the block, anyway.
Porsche: Because she doesn't like being caught in stuff. (pause) She's already different. And she says she hasn't been talking to them? But yet, she went into the ROYGBIV (candy room) with them. Like, I saw her. She goes into the ROYGBIV with them, and that's why I came back out here to talk with Adam.
Kalia: When was this?
Porsche: When you were upstairs to take a nap. So, she's lying blatantly to me now. F*cking annoying.
Kalia: That's why I was like, have you talked to them yet? And she said no, but then Adam said she already told them that she would..
Porsche: Yeah.. cuz Jordan said over there, when they were in the pool together.
Kalia: Unless Jordan was lying.
Porsche: Either way. If Jordan was lying? Shelly was in there talking to them. I saw her go in there. And, she talked to Jordan already yesterday, and so she's doing things.. She is.. and she's telling us that she's not.
***Is Shelly supposed to roll over and play dead for your convenience? Is that how this works?
Porsche: And she definitely had a talk to Rachel, because Rachel knew about the sorceress. No hidden code there.. "Shelly told me about the sorceress. Did you guys hear about that or see it move?"
Kalia: I told her I would vote for her. I really need to talk to Rachel and Jordan...
Porsche: Yeah, we do.
Kalia: I really need to know who they want to stay.
Porsche: Yeah.
Kalia: Because I need to make sure that I vote for that person too... As far as the 4 of us..
Porsche: I'm almost ready to.. Oh, Shelly, Shelly, Shelly.. She's useless for us. Like next week. If you don't win HoH, we're going on the block. If Adam wins HoH, there's a chance... Cuz we need the 2 of them on the block, and at least if it's a split vote, Adam decides.
Kalia: I know.
Porsche: She's gonna flip flop. And I wouldn't wanna say that, but the fact that she sits here and lies to us blatantly.. about telling Rachel.. about, "did you guys say anything?? She said she overheard you guys talking about it." Bull Sh*t.
Kalia: Maybe Rachel did say she overheard us.
Porsche: How would she even figure it out?
Kalia: I'm just saying. Rachel's not stupid... especially with sneaky stuff.
Porsche: She's not stupid, but she's not gonna come up with something out of thin air.
Kalia: Well, after the door's now shut.. and Shelly was in there for hours..
Porsche: Dude, I'm telling you..
Kalia: And Adam asked me, sitting in the living room, so it's not like he asked me in some far, hidden away place.
Porsche: Oh, when?
Kalia: Before the Veto.. He's like, I wonder if the sorceress is gonna do anything? And I was like, she's good for nothing..
Porsche's not buying it.
Porsche: It's too much information for Rachel to come up with out of thin air.. and then for Shelly not to be straight forward about it.. and then spill every detail? Why? Just like, why would she say she hasn't talked to them, when I clearly saw her.
Kalia: She thinks she's leaving.. I think she's gonna try, but I think she thinks she's leaving.
Porsche weighs the pros and cons between Adam and Shelly, and Adam's the keeper in her book.
Porsche: She'll try to score brownie points with them for voting Jeff out, and she'll vote one of us out.
With this, they head inside... They run into Adam and invite him to come up to HoH to do Biore Strips.. There is game talk as well.

Adam: I don't see how... I don't even know.
Kalia: I don't know. She just..
Adam: My opinion? What can she offer them?
Kalia: Well, she's already been forgiven, and if they're gonna start looking at it like a game thing, they're gonna say, "hmm.. Shelly really can not win anything. Maybe it's smarter for us to keep her.." But I don't know.. Shelly's acting like she's leaving.. asking questions about jury.. I don't know.. This has been me the entire game with Shelly.. Daniele would always be like, "Stop telling her stuff. She goes right back to them and tells them."
***So sayeth the widow donato...
Kalia: But then in the last week, she got really close to Daniele too, and she was gonna vote to keep her.. and she was like, I can't do what they're telling me to do.. and then voting out Jeff.. all that stuff.. and then right before the live show was over, Daniele was like...
Adam: Stick with Porsche.
Kalia: She was like, "Don't ever turn your back on Porsche. Don't ever vote her out." I was like, "I'm not going to." And then she was like, "And stick with Shelly. She's with you guys." You know what I mean? And then, when everything happened.. We're like, all she has now, since she's shunned from the other side.. But the whole time, when I was HoH, she was like, I'm on your side, whatever you want, and then she came up with the whole thing to put up Lawon (**Shelly wanted Porsche up, but she did create the scenario).. Then I find out, the whole time she was planning on keeping Rachel. And that's why I'm like.. You spent the whole game lying to me, and I'm still trying to trust you (Shelly) and work with you and put you in a final 4. That's really frustrating for me.
Adam: How do you think I feel?
Kalia: And she actually thinks she has a chance to win this game.
Adam: Yeah.
Kalia: She actually thinks that if she were at the end with you or Jordan, that people would vote for her and that she'd be able to convince people that she made big moves, that she did this, that and the third, and that she's played this game...
**She has. Shelly's picked her times and manipulated when necessary... You especially, Kalia. Her style of game play isn't popular among the fan base, and having gotten caught in too many lies may see her walk out the door, but she's been among the strongest gamers in the house since day one. Ask Dr Will how many comps it takes to win a season.
Kalia: By spending the whole summer lying? I don't understand.
Porsche emerges from the bathroom and asks what they're talking about..
Adam: Just her bein' nervous about Shelly.
Porsche: I am.

Morning Carolyn, Genie, Dishers
Jeff may just be one guy and not the whole show but since he's left it has been borrrrrring in there.
Anyone else notice in chat that there are rooms for or against Jorchel and Shelly and Adam, more negative rooms on those last two but, there are no rooms dedicated to Porsche or Kalia. I guess neither one of the them creates enough passion in fans.
Look forward to TOR and spreading lots of love to crush the hate inside and outside the house.

Have a wonderful day!
Good Morning Carolyn, Genie, Oh Great Dishers Extraordinaire ...
Excellent work ladies, as always.
Loving the new DISH gear - just ordered a large coffee mug! I can't wait to pay homage daily to my favorite DISHERS!!
Morning Carolyn:) Morning Genie:) Morning Dishers:)
Really enjoyed the show last night:) was hoping it would show the real version... The one where Jeff & Rachel both stayed but alas they wanted to fool the viewers;) Lol
But really it was cool to see the pre show scuffle!
I <3 BBdish! Hope everyone has a fan-tab-ulous day:)!
Thanks for all you do for us bb addicts! I agree and am appalled by all the disgusting acts towards Shelly and her family. I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty bummed she flipped and got rid of the lovely eye candy Jeff, but dang people, it's just a game! And until Pandora's box, it was a move that could've saved her game and pushed her further forward. I'm sure even Jeff is over it by now. Hopefully people will see that Jordan and Shelly have mended (personal) fences and will knock all this riduclousness off!!!
I wonder exactly when in the finale night they will pull her aside and tell her... surely they wouldn't tell her in jury? She told Rachel (? I think) that she was attending Vegas but needed to get back to work, too. I doubt she makes any appearances now :-(
Good morning Carolyn,Genie and fellow dishers.....
Happy Monday :)
I am loving the new goodies at Cafe Press,weeeeee........
Looking forward the the aftermath of the POV ceremony today,and to see what everyone will do.
Hugs to all..have a great day ;)
Oh,and I just got the feeds for Vegas Bash!! :D
Morning Carolyn, Genie & Dishers:)
I really enjoyed the show last night getting to see the scuffle before the DE.. Although I thought for sure theyd show the real version where both Jeff & Rachel stayed... But alas they wanted to fool the viewers ;) lol
Happy Monday everyone :)
Ps this may kinda be a duplicate post cuz blogger was giving me some grief:)
Good morning Carolyn! Hope you were able to fit in some relaxing time just for yourself this weekend. These hg's have to be wearing you and Genie out!
I was watching bbad last night, and that conversation with Shelly, Jordan and Rachel was at the beginning. I felt really bad for her, I was thinking man oh man Shelly, you have no idea what you're in for. I can't stand her myself, but to think that there are people out there who would threaten her family? That is ridiculous! Having her reputation tarnished is one thing, but having her child threatened, that's on a whole other level. Do you think bb will tell her, since this is some serious stuff going on? I just wonder, since I've read they're calling in the FBI and stuff. I would think that's something she's entitled to know, wouldn't that be considered an emergency?
By the way, does anyone know what the conversation was where Adam started coming clean with some of the stuff he knows? I read in someone's comment on the live show post last night that Shelly had been outed again, and that Adam had found out Kalia's final 2 deal with him was fake? Just wondering if he's switched back to his "fake" alliance?
Have a great day everyone!
Good morning! I am so happy Rachel and Jordan will come off the block and Shelly will go up and, hopefully, out. I was a Shelly fan early on but her recent actions have turned me against her. I hope when her husband "gives it to her straight" he will let her know that her self righteous attitude is not justified by her behavior.
Now I am hoping for a Rachel or Jordan hoh this coming Thursday. I also hope they stick to their guns and keep Adam. I think after Kalia spilling the beans about their f2 deal he realizes he will be better off with the vets.
Good Morning Carolyn! Just wanted to pop in and comment on the "Shelley" hate fest. I loved Shelley until she did what she did this past week. I understand its a game 100%. However, in the shoes of being a HG I would not ever at any point tell people I love them and call us BFs then do what she did. Makes me question on what kind of friend she is outside the house. I would play the game and by saying play the game I know it would mean telling a lie or two but when u make people believe you love them and call them ur bestie then u do what she did causing pain just isnt how I feel is "playing" the game.That being said I also dont like that people take this so seriously that they would make threats to her family or her. Its not cool. As you said, "Shame" on them.
That being said I seriously dislike shelly
Hi Carolyn. Hi Genie. Hi Fellow Dishes.
I just wanted to make a quick comment regarding Shelly. Yes she has indeed annoyed and disappointed me through out this game with her comments and actions, HOWEVER at no time would it ever have crossed my mind to ever think to say such vile things to any individual and their family. It has always astounded me that people often will say and do such vile things in response to someone making vile comments and actions. It is just a game people. Jeff is not dead, he is in the jury house. Yes I wish it was Shelly who left the game and not Jeff but such is life.
Oh a different note. I am loving the new Rachel and want her and Jordan to be in the final two together. Since I put it out in the universe it will probably be Shelly and Kalia but a girl can dream right?
Oh Big Brother how I love you.....
I loved it when Adam asked Jordan if he could join her in the hot tub because he was in pain, she said sure. He then says "I dont know why I am hurting so bad for only holding that thing for five minutes" when suddenly the BB voice says "Thats What She Said"! That was the best! Thanks BB!!
After reading shelly's thoughts on her husband, I'm a bit sad for her. Thinking back to her family's piece on the show, they seem sweet and down to earth. I'm sure this is hard on them and when she realizes what she's done to them she will feel horrible. I don't think she's a bad person, I think she got caught up in the game. The consequences for her will unfortunately be great because I think she is a good person outside of the house.
First I'd like to say that I love this website Carolyn - I'd like to take a moment and remind everyone that Big Brother is JUST A GAME! I've been reading about people making threats toward Shelly's family. I think that its horrible and disgusting. They are calling these people Jeff and Jordan Fans. That is an insult to Jeff and Jordan I don't beleive that Jeff or Jordan would condone this behavior. There has been lying and backstabbing in all BB Seasons. Why are people taking this one so seriously. Is it because Jeff and Jordan are Americas Sweethearts? As kind hearted as Jordan is i am sure this will hurt her so much! Sorry to be such a downer but as a big brother fan i don't like seeing people who are just playing a game to win money (just like any other game) be threatened.
Carolyn,
Just want you to know I appreciate that you never allow crude nicknames and slanderous comments about the HG's. I am no fan of Shelly's, but she is a real person with real friends and family. Thanks for all you do!
good morning Carolyn!
looking forward to TOR today.... hoping that J/R keep it low key until they evict Shelly (despicable death threats... people need to chill out)and stop the Shelly spin this season. Hoping that the Fortune Teller stays silent until Shelly is bubye!
Have a great day everyone!
Good morning Caro and all my other BB Buddies!
Hoping for something interesting today. So sad the season is winding down.
Ok so just my two cents on all this Shelley talk--
I for one think she has just played the game her way, which all of the HG's do.
The ONLY reason I personally changed my mind about her was because the way she went at Jordon after Jeff walked out was unnecessary... it was too fresh- she should have given Jordon some time.... but hey .. it's the BB house what can ya do.
I as well as anyone who kept up knew that Shelley was lying and was going to try to flip the house.... that's game... but getting in Jordon's face was not necessary... at all..
Happy Veto Ceremony day!! :)
Good morning Caro- Genie and everyone :)
Good Morning Carolyn, Genie, and Dishers!
I haven't commented in awhile, but was urged to do so by the recent events regarding Shelly.
I know the true fans of BB knows it just a game, and after the season ends, we and the fellow hg go on with our lives. With that being said, those "fans" who feel the need to contact Shelly's job, make threats against her family and create "hate" pages are NO better than the acts that Shelly perpetrated upon the HG that got them all riled up. (sorry for the all caps, I wanted to emphasize that point). You (those who are guilty by liking, reading, posting, and passing on those links) are just as guilty as Shelly. Shelly played the game the best she knew how and that was to be a master manipulater. She made great game moves it was her execution of them that were not as scrupulous. I do not condone her treatment of Rachel and other HG, the stealing of personal items, and the wanting to destroy them, but in no way does that justify the actions that these "fans" have taken upon themselves to Right a Wrong. Jeff is a big boy - BIG Jeff as we call him. He will get over getting knocked out. He may even appreciate the strategy and logic of it, but no way will he accept the Hate and negative treatment of Shelly.
Sorry for the length, but had to say it!
On another note, GO RACHEL and Jordan F2! Jordan needs to win the next HOH and then Rachel the 2nd. If it happens in reverse, Rachel could be leaving. Also, can you believe she survived 4x on the blocks? This is her year! She has def proved the naysayers wrong!
DaPartyGurl!!!!!
Last night was the first night since the season started that i watched the entire BBAD. 3 hours and nobody talked game and nobody said a mean word about another house guest.Such a pleasant evening. ...and i finished a couple craft projects while it was on.
Loved the comment "That's what she said" from production.
Good Morning,
Regarding Shelly...
I am confused about the "it's just a game" terminology people are using when they offer a commentary regarding Shelly's participation in the BB house.
Sure, it is just a game, but someone's integrity and character play out in a game just like it will in "real life".
How many of us are shocked when a politician lies to us? How many of us are shocked when a salesperson lie to us? Yet, when we catch them in a lie, don't they loose our trust? And, if they hurt us in the process, don't we seek reprisal?
Shelly has spent the majority of her career as a salesperson. To be a good salespeople, it is necessary to be able to listen well, ask good questions, be able to read body language and align the clients needs with your product/service. The better you become and the more skilled you are, the more critical it is that you have a firm grasp on your personal morals and business ethics. The great salespeople, do not conflict their values. They never cross the line. The good sales people will marginalize their role in the process in order to get the sale and will blame any "mis-undertandings" on the client. The bad salesperson either doesn't care about the client or doesn't bother to listen, etc.,.
There is a saying in sales, an unethical salesperson can sell anyone once!
In my opinion, Shelly is a good salesperson, but not a great one. She is a good person and when she gets out of the house and back into her world, she will admit that she crossed the line, both ethically and morally. I am pulling for her to get it back together before she leaves our viewership. I've trained and managed her type for years. She acted emotionally and impulsively. She simply made a mistake.
Morning Caro!
Morning Dishers!
Sorry to say that I missed last night's show ... *sigh
So will have to catch it on the internet. Still, hearing/reading talk of a f/3 w R,J&A is interesting stuff. Hoping to read more as the TOR develops today.
Adam's shown himself to be a stand up guy. Wouldn't mind a f/3 with him included (and the two lovely vet ladies, of course) ... Still, have to get past Kalia and Porsche to make that happen, so it will be an interesting couple of weeks.
Enjoy your day!
And, Caro, Genie, thanks so very much for all you do. You're rockstars!!!
Hey Carolyn =D
I just want to say that as much as I dislike shelly, I would NEVER do or say something against her family and especially her little (adorable) girl. I come here to read what everyone says, thoughts and opinions that I may or may not agree with, but as I have said in the past I feel welcome here. To anyone who would threaten the life of a hg ,and their family ....you need to remember that this is just a game... Carolyn & Genie, keep up all of your great work....I ♥ you both =D
Good morning everyone. I've been speculating on this fortune teller business and wondering if its possible that they are just raising interest in it for the next person that is hoh. I don't think Porshe will have anything to do with it since she got the Pandora's box.

Good Morning everyone! I hope ure all having a wonderful day so far. So, how bout that earthquake and hurricane!?! I'm here in Philadelphia and I can honestly say that I have never been through a week like that ever, and I don't know when it'll happen again! (I'm sure the people of California & Florida[Hi Carolyn!] are laughing at our weak earthquake/hurricane but it was pretty freaky for a place that doesn't get those things quite often!)
I just have to say that I am in the minority, I guess, with the Shelly Support. I feel like she is the only person left in the house who has REALLY been playing the game as it is meant to be played. I love that she voted off Jeff in order to further her game, because, let's be honest, if Jordeff get to Final 3, there is no way in hell Shelly is getting to F2. She was heartbroken to break her word, and I felt for her. Also, all of these threats are absolutely insane and these people need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law! I'll get off my soapbox now, thank you!
One last thing, if Porsche or Kalia don't win this season of Big Brother, this season will be a wash for me. I mean, the PoV was an Endurance EXACTLY like the hanging from the banana that Rachel won for first HoH? I'm never the first person to cry "RIGGING", but that just might be the case here.
Have a Good Day Everyone!

Hello everyone!
I love Jeff and Jordan and am a fan of theirs however I have never had any animosity towards Shelly's family. I think what was written about her daughter, being a mother myself, was obscene. All I can say is karma has a way of swinging back around on you!
That being said come on Jordan and Rachel!
Oh and congrats KScooterfox! =D
Good Morning Carolyn, Genie, and fellow Dishers :)
I would LOVE to see Jordan, Rachel, and Adam as F3. That would be a big gigantic bowl of awesomesauce.
It's pretty good to see that Jordan and Shelly have patched up their friendship, I'm pretty sure its not going to change the fact that Shelly will leave this week, but it goes to show that their friendship was repairable after Shelly's backstabbing. It was crazy seeing Jordan blow up like that, it reminded me of when she blew up on Russell during season 11. That Jordan is a feisty one!
On another note, I'm disheartened by the threats that Shelly's family has received. As wrapped up as I may get in the game and the disdain I have towards Shelly with how she has played, you gotta realize that it's just a game and that this isn't how people are in normal life. I'm sure she's a lovely woman in real life!
THANK YOU and BIG HUGS to you ladies for putting together this wonderful blog, I really appreciate the way you put it together!
Hello, Caro and fellow dishers! Just wanted to take a quick moment before I leave for work to say "hi". Now that I am working it takes what 'free' time I have just to get caught up on the blog posts, so I hardly ever come into comments. :(
I miss all the people and fun and insight that can be found here.
Just wanted to express my appreciation for all of you and especially to Carolyn and Genie and her behind the scenes crew for giving us BB Dish -- it's the BEST!
So, thanks!
Hating the Shelly hate and feeling badly for any negative comments I have posted on the FB page -- I don't think I ever said anything that bad, just venting about her, but I regret putting ANY negativity out there that may have been picked up by others and added to the 'hate Shelly snowball'.
p.s. Love the new BB swag and when I have a 'flush' week, gonna buy myself a large mug! :)
hugs to all of you, and I hope maybe a couple remember me from when I used to post here a lot more (it's been a couple seasons now, since I've been able to participate here like I'd like)
Good morning Carolyn, Genie and fellow Dishers.
I love drama in the BB house, but I also enjoy them putting it aside and having a fun night with cards and chit chat!
I get to go back to Jersey (home) today, and back to being able to view the live feeds. I want to thank everyone who kept me informed this weekend!!! I appreciate it!!!
All that is happening to shelly's family is reprehensible. I will never be a fan but I feel terrible for her and her family.
good morning all
my take on shelly, it is one thing to act impulsively and make bad decisions it is another to be able to think back on your bad decsions and then not correct them, she continued to make outrageous comments regarding rachel, she has continued to lie and not return rachel's dog.
in no way am i saying these events warrant the hate that is being heaped upon her, but i want to point out
she is who she is and her actions after time of reflection on her actions speak volumes as to the person she is.
Donna
Completely agree. It's a game, but people bring themselves into the game. they aren't professional actors who play a role completely foreign to their real lives. This is who the HGs are in pursuit of 500k.
I saw enough to not like Shelly before she turned on Jeff and Jordan.
I was just thinking that maybe Shelly's company started all this stuff about the threats from fans. That would be a good spin on things to make people have sympathy for her instead of hate. And also to make it seem wrong to bash Shelly. I got to think the people she works with on a daily basis would be able to cook up such a devious scheme. Playing with emotions is what Shelly does best. Just a thought.
hihi good morning all car,gaytor,grendon genie
wow i hope today is good day in the bb house
Good morning Carolyn & Genie...xoxoxo!
Congrats Kscooter on your winning the mug!
I will be purchasing that same mug & a the V Neck Tee!
I hope no one was really effected too hard by IRENE...
It's a beautiful morning here in Staten Island,New York!
Everyone have a great day!
@Carolyn & @ Genie, "Our Goddesses", Get some well needed and "much deserved" rest today! Xoxoxo
~~ Love, Wen~~
Good morning everyone. Just wanted to weigh in on the Shelley hatefest out there. I have not appreciated the game Shelley has been playing and have even called her a couple of names (to myself) but I can not, for the life of me, imagine someone threatening someone's livlihood or loved ones over what is a just a game. That kind of addiction and over-the-top behavior is really hard to understand and just plain sad. I think other folks today who have expressed how badly Jeff and Jordan would probably feel if they knew any of their fans were going to these lengths is right.
On another note, I have been trying to understand why Shelley has so much hate for Rachel. My feeling is that she is really jealous of Jordan and Rachel's friendship. I hope that Rachel and Jordan do, in fact, keep her in the dark about their decision this week so that Shelley doesn't revert back to the intense Rachel bashing that she has done almost all season.
Lastly, I was so impressed with Jordan and Rachel talking in depth to both Shelley and Adam yesterday and then spending a couple of hours in that cold, cold Have Not room where they, very effectively, sorted out who was more likely to be trusted with their vote. I hope they're right, because I believe they made the best decision based on strategy, not personal feelings, and that had to be hard for both of them to do. I'm hoping at least one of them makes it to final two.
Loving feisty Jordan and Rachel 2.0.
I'm going to go on a limb here and say something nice about Shelly. I know everyone on here hates her and whatever, but she is not afraid to make moves in this game. You gotta give her that. Yes she lies and goes back and forth, but that is gameplay, and you can't hate her for that. It must have been so hard for her to go against Jeff and Jordan like that, being huge fans of them. But she did it, and it payed off. If she hadn't, Jeff would have won the game for sure. She gave everyone else in there a fighting chance, an equal chance.
Good Morning Carolyn,
Just wanted to thank you and genie again for everything you do here.
The fans should take their cue from Jordan. She is genuinly sweet with Shelly now. She may still send her out, but that's the game,,,and a little retribution I suppose. I think Jeff and Jordon would both be horrified by what is happening to Shelly's family. If you watched BBAD last night the night started with Jordon and Shelly talking and Jordon had a genuine smile on her face. If Jeff is upset about anything it would be that Jordon was hurt. I'm sure he's over the rest of it by now.
Good Morning Carolyn,
Since you are already planning on seeing Adam. Can you give him a message from me? He has talked about his father a few times. He died from ALS. He said that he wanted to give back to ALS Associations...saying he should be doing more...or should have done more. Pretty much beating himself up. Tell him from me that taking care of his father while he had this awful disease was the greatest gift he could give. Once you get to a comfortable place in your grief there will be plenty of time to help others. It is hard! My mother is dying from ALS right now and I have had help and support from other families that have been though it. Just knowing I can call someone to vent that understands is huge. He can be that person for someone even if he doesn't win the big bucks!
Good morning Caro and Genie. I hope you got your coffee and splenda :)
Thanks to all of your hard work and guidelines I'm sure that no disher fan is a part of the Shelly threats. It is a game and even if we don't like all the players we still have to be good sports about it. It's one thing for Shelly to deal with the backlash of her decisions but people need to leave her family out of it. They didn't make the decisions for her. That being said I will still be happy to see her go on Thursday, which is a shame since I really liked her up until 2 weeks ago when her mean/cruel side came out.
For the first time I LOVED a Sunday show.
Morning Caro!!! Beautiful TOR!!! :) Hope you bought some Splenda! :)
Morning Everyone! :)Thank you for all the kind words! :)
CONGRATS SCOOTER!!! :)
Good Morning Oh Goddess of the Dish and Genie of the Sea!!
Wonderful TOR, what I have read so far ... That's what she said!!! Hahahahahaha
Okay, I have lots to do today so probably will have to check back in around lunch time BBT!!
Have a good morning all my dishing friends!!
MWAH!
Do you really think Shelly was having a "psychic moment" when she talked about "some people will hate me" and wondering what her husband will think? I think the DR asked her to "tone down the verbage" against the other HGs due to the backlash outside the house. I'm not saying they told her much of anything, but just asked her to keep it positive, she voted out Jeff, fans might not like it, etc.
She's definitely back to the original "nice mom," but she still hasn't 'fessed up about Rachel's dog or given it back!
Clearly the blur between reality and reality TV has gone too far. The next step will be something truly horrific.
I find the venom toward Shelly unfathomable. Obviously the threats are beyond the pale, but even just the attitude of many average posters is shocking.
It certainly made "sense" to "hate" someone like Dick or even to a lessor extent Ragan and Rachel when their antics turned cruel to the point of nearly abusive. But at the end of the day they were mostly just annoying or disappointing.
With Shelly, I don't get it. I know, she lied, she's manipulative, and God forbid she didn't help to orchestrate Jeff and Jordan's win.
But what did this woman actually do that is so horrific? I'm not thrilled with her style of play. But as far as THIS game goes, I can accept it. THIS IS a game of manipulation and she is good at it.
Forget the rational argument about the game though. Many people don't look at it that way. Even on the most personal and emotional level, what has she done that warrants the furor? This is a rhetorical question. I'm not really interested in hearing about how she is like a mother figure or the way she engendered trust. I don't care. That is the game - use what you got.
My question, and again it's rhetorical, is what on earth is happening in the minds of the viewers that they can no longer recognize that this is television for entertainment, orchestrated and edited by producers, and an environment that has virtually nothing to do with real life? I'm not the first to say it, but reality TV is pushing the edge and it won't be long until someone falls off.
sharon says good morning love the new rachel and hope she and jordan go to the end shelly could of made it to the final four with jeff and jordan and adam and she and adam had a chance to win it all if they won hoh so I think she had a choice she just made a bad one anyway that the way i see it sorry so long love love your site
I'm a student of human nature, and I think it's fascinating to try to figure out Jordan's mojo. She's so appealing! Need to bottle it and make millions!!
I was disgusted at all the aftermath towards shelly, it all comes down to Hate, its a strong word and a strong emotion. Its ok to attack/dislike a HG's game play and actions while they are on the show, it only natural no one is gonna love everyperson 100 percent but when it goes to hating the person for something when it didnt directly affect you or your life, its crazy and IMHO psychotics. Dislike the actions/moves/and gameplay but not the person. Ruining their lives outside is petty ive said it before on other sites, mainly the facebook stop the shelly moore Hate site. If the HG can move on outside of the game and get along even though they were directly affected then why can we as fans not let it go too after the games over. Fixing to order me a new coffee mug. LOVE YOU Ladies KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK>
Good morning Carolyn, Genie and all BBDishers,
Not a Shelly fan (anymore) by any means, so I'm hoping that once she is evicted on Thursday(keeping my fingers crossed) all the hate hype will go away.
I'm sure she is a very nice person outside of the house, but inside...well, that's another story. I cannot imagine what kind of mother would say such vile things about someone else's unborn child. I liked Shelly in the beginning, but when she joined the mean girls club, I lost all respect for her. It's one thing to lie and trash talk about the game, but she, along with some of the other girls, have said some very mean personal comments about Rachel.
It looks like Jordan has forgiven her, at least for now, which proves she has a big heart. I know I would never be able to forgive anyone that ever treated me like that.
Morning Carolyn!
Here's hoping today brings a great day for the hamsters both inside and outside the house.
WooT! Congrats KScoot!
GM Carolyn and Genie thx again for keeping us all updated you two do so much work to keep us informed. I watched the show last night and tears again just like the first time ( silly me.)
I think it is terrible to be doing this to Shelly's family. Some have said they think it is J&J fans if they are truly J&J fans they would never do that kind of thing. Any of us that are J&J fans know these to are kind loving people and that is why we all care about them so.
It was great to hear Adam's shout out to you yesterday. Rachel sure has changed it is great to see. She has been really good with Jordan this past week. After last season when everyone was so down on her hopefuly this will open everyone eyes to Rachel as the good, caring person that everyone has said she is.
I think shelly knows she does not have Jordan and Rachel vote to stay that she is going to jury. I hope Rachel, Jordan and Adam make it to finaly 3.
I absolutely do not think CBS will or should tell shelly about any of what's going on online until after the finale. I think it's safe to say that she would choose to leave, which would give fuel to people to continue to behave this way in the future. Hate a houseguest? Say super nasty things about them and their families online, have HG self evict. It would set a terrible precident.
(I also think the worst of the comments against shelly (... you know the one) have been trolling. I think the whole point was to get a rise out of people, and it totally worked. I am not saying I agree with it, I don't. I just have a hard time getting all hyper over some internet trolls.)
Good Morning Carolyn, Genie, and Fellow Dishers..
Congratulations Scooter, I love my cup..use it every morning as I read TOR..
I wonder if there will be a food comp....
Thanks for Everything you do Caro and Genie...{{{{hugs}}}}
Good Morning. I am saddened over the threats to Shelly's family. I too can't imagine someone threatening someone's livlihood or loved ones over what is a just a game, but I'm not surprised. I have seen people comment if they see Shelly in Vegas she's going to get a piece of their mind and to have their bail money ready. People try to justify their actions by saying there are levels of bashing and levels of threats, but I think its all wrong.
LOL @ widow donato, but shouldn't Jordon and Rachel be the Widowz Shroeder? They were the ones crying and acting like it was the end of the world after Jeff was evicted.
Good morning everybody!!!! Caro, Genie, you are goddesses as usual!!
Carolyn... i have a question/favor to ask you... i'm going to inbox you on Facebook, i hope you can help me out! xoxo
I think it would be best if everyone, including myself, would just quit commenting about the CRAP going on outside the house with Shelly's family...
It has no place here or anywhere else. That is an isolated incident with some wackadoos that does not represent this site, the great women that run it, or the people who post here...
I will continue to express my views on houseguests and it has nothing to do with any of this crap. I don't condone any of that junk, but views towards Shelly have not changed...
I do NOT like the game she has played or the way she has acted in this house. After watching the show last night, anyone who calls JEFF a bully is mistaken. The real bully in the BB house is SHELLY. She instigates arguments, points her finger, gets a chip on her shoulder, and surrounds herself in lies and denial even after being caught...
I may not like Kalia, but have no problem with the way she is playing the game, save a few moments of being catty that I could do without...
Love the way both Jordan and Rach handled things on the show last night. Have no problem with that at all...
Still have some love for Adam as well. Hope he sees Porshe and Kalia are throwing him under the bus and decides to work with J/R...
That is all. Thanks Genie and Caro. This in the only place I visit, so the discussing crap going on other places is not necessary for me!
"Her style of game play isn't popular among the fan base..."
I really think Shelly had extreme potential to do great in the game, and she has. My problem with her is how personal she makes it, and how hateful and bitter she acts. I think that is how a lot of fans feel. I got (get) really tired of the horrible things she says about Rachel. Rachel is a human being with feelings!
While I don't at all agree with the death threats being made on Shelly and her family, I do hope Shelly's reaction to being the most unliked this season will cause her to see that being hateful is inappropriate and that it is something that leads to bullying--not what you want your young daughter to see!
I do believe Shelly is a good person, but she let this game turn her really ugly. I'm sure when she gets out everything will be put into perspective and people will know she's a good person. I hope.
Has anyone noticed they haven't showed the jury house this year. You'd think there would be a lot of drama there, I am curious to see. Did I miss Porsche putting people up? It sounds like Shelly and Adam are on the block... what did I miss?
What a disgusting episode by Big Brother. The rigging of the show for ratings is just pathetic. That Pandora's Box was basically a bribe to Porsche so that production could find a way to keep the fan favorites in the game. Jordan was going home this week. That much was clear (if Rachel won POV). And BB producers could not have Dani, Jeff and Jordan leaving consecutively. So they come up with this lame twist that helps only Rachel and Jordan. When production put this Pandora's Box together, they knew it was a huge life saver to only two players. Why would a TV show ever think it's okay to purposefully go out of its way to help certain players beat out their competition. Pathetic. It would be one thing if Porsche got to pick the pairs or if the pairs were randomly assigned. But the way the pairs were picked was just insulting to the viewers who would rather see an honest game than cheer on "favorites."
Jordan got beat. She lost the game to people who one-upped her and she was going out of the house. So Rachel wins the veto -- a copy cat of an earlier game -- and a game that production knew Rachel was going to win. Now Jordan gets to stay another week after doing nothing. Again. Lame.
Bravo jane!!! Brilliantly said!!!
Will do, Sandra.. I just delivered your message to Fara, as well. Better it should come from her. ;)
Do you think BB told Shelly what is going on? She seems to have changed her tune a little from everyone is going to love me to I thik I need too talk to Tony about the things I've done in here?
Im not a fan of BB Shelly, but Shelly outside the house is none of my business, and how dare people do the things they have done to her family. that is ridiculous.
Good Afternoon everyone!
I was wondering about the fortune teller....
When Kalia was telling Adam about the fortune teller, he said he noticed the sign missing on Wednesday. That is the same day that BB started with the "that's what she said" comments.
I was wondering if the two things are connected, and if they are will anyone put it together.
Hope everyone has a great day!
Thank you so much for all of the updates!!
NEW TOP POST!! :)
Monday Morning
There have been lots of seasons when I've been all for the "backstabber" to win because they truly played a good game (even if I was never a "fan" of theirs throughout their season). But there is something about Shelly's style that doesn't feel the same. She is so mean-spirited with the comments about Rachel that go way across the line for me. It's not game anymore and it's just plain nasty. So I think that might be the reason she strikes such a nerve with people. It's way beyond the lines of catty. Just my opinion.
♥
Two additional things...
1. I think the Genie/Sorceress/Fortune Teller will be part of one of the comps to come. I hope nobody in the house gets any special "power" or info from it while it's in the house. It could definitely seem rigged depending on who gets it, you know? Hopefully it's just a tease of a comp to come...
2. I, like many of you on here, was a Rachel hater last year. Woah. I was not happy to see her back in the game this year. But I really, really, really have had a change of heart with her this year. She does slip back into old ways on occasion, but she seems a lot more aware of her behavior this season and I really credit her for that. With all of that said, I REALLY hope she sees how many people outside have changed their minds about her and supported her this year and gets some sort of satisfaction/closure/whatever you want to call it out of this season. I for one will be voting for her as America's Favorite just to applaud her for the change!
Has anyone noticed they haven't showed the jury house this year. You'd think there would be a lot of drama there, I am curious to see. Did I miss Porsche putting people up? It sounds like Shelly and Adam are on the block... what did I miss?
The best line on the show last night had to be Rachel when she left the candy room during the fight & went to the HOH landing. Porsche was downstairs & said something to Rachel about the fight & Rachel replied "too much drama". I'm liking Rachel 2.0. First she walks out on the fight and then says it's too much drama! What a change in Rachel. I hope she keeps it up & doesn't revert back to her old ways. Isn't there anyone out there that knows of a job for Rachel when she gets out? She could use a break in life.
Running a bit late on commenting. Less than an hour away from the Afternoon Report but what I have to say really belongs here.
First, yet another fantastic TOR Carolyn. We say it daily but it can never be said enough.
To Ry and Jane:
Thank you for your comments. Combine the two and it pretty much says all I have been wanting to say. It's nice to see posts as a viewpoint of reason and with statements to backup your words, not just tell us why or why not we should be for or against someone, or point out the bad things a player has done, or extol the virtues of a favorite.
That's not to say others never do the same thing. Those two posts just really stood out for me this morning above the others, probably because the three of us have very similar points of view.
:o)
I have never commented here before but I am a regular reader of this site and I feel the need to address some of the Shelly bashers. I too have been disgusted with some of the personal digs Shelly has made at Rachel. I was rooting for Daniele to win and when Shelly was attacking Dani and her alliance and manipulating Kalia to get Lawon out, I could barely watch Shelly on the feeds. This week, she’s more tolerable. I guess that’s because she’s joined the side I like. I suppose the J/J/R fans feel the opposite. That’s just the nature of fans rooting for a particular team.
I want to remind everyone that Big Brother is a game: one that involves strategy, manipulation, intelligence, athletic performance and usually, lying. For those who are so against Shelly, I ask you, even if you don’t like her on a personal level can you not at least acknowledge that she’s a great game player? I detest dishonest people in real life but this is a game. Shelly’s been playing hard since the first day she entered the house. She may have yet to win a competition but the wheels have always been turning. She’s been playing non-stop. I think you have to respect that.
Jordan on the other hand, rarely does any strategizing. She is by all accounts a very weak player. She loves to put down the so-called “floaters” however she’s only won one competition and that was because Jeff threw it to her. I was a Jordan fan season 11 and I wanted her to win but that wasn’t because she deserved it, so much as it was because everyone else on that season was horrible. I know she’s very cute and likeable however I find BB seasons much more satisfying when a real competitor wins.
As for all the Jeff fans, I don’t get it. If you watch the feeds you have likely seen evidence of his sexism and homophobia. In my world those qualities make one a jerk, not a hero. Good looks can`t cancel out that behaviour. I used to be a fan of his but no longer. I’m glad he’s been voted out and the incredible arrogance he displayed during his interview with Julie only reinforced that feeling. Every player in that house should have wanted to get Jeff out. He was the (physically) strongest player left. They would have been fools to leave him in the game and I hope he realizes that once he’s cooled down in the jury house.
Please give Shelly and her family a break. I believe she truly cared about Jeff and Jordan. She never bashed them the way she did others and I think she genuinely wants to be friends with them outside the house. I hope they can forgive her. If Daniele can become besties with Eric Stein, I think Jeff and Jordan should be able to get past this betrayal. After all, expect the unexpected! It’s just a game people!
