Big Brother 14: Friday Afternoon Before the Noms

Good afternoon, BB Lovers!  In this Friday Afternoon lead up to the Nomination Ceremony, I'll be focusing on Key Conversations..  and whatever else tickles me..

While I was on a break, there was a conversation around 2:25pm between Boogie and Frank in the backyard that you should use the flashback machine on, if you missed it.

Just for the sheer irony...   It's all Boogie puffery, and unbeknownst to them, they're about to go up on the block.

The juxtaposition on the Quad was the a bonus.. I recommend listening to both conversations simultaneously for full appreciation. 



If you need catching up on the day.. here are the links to the previous posts:

Shane and Ashley

Shane checks in with Ashley to request her future support, confirm with her she's fine this week, and ask that she not let on about that before the nomination ceremony..

Ashley: You have my vote.  Just the fact that you're willing to work with Joe and me is great.
Shane: Just saying, if I keep you safe, hopefully you'd vote the way I want..
Ash: Absolutely.  I was kinda calling Frank out about that today..  You had your whole HoH taken away and you never bitched about it. Excpet maybe to Brit.
Shane: Just Mike going for the 10,000 dollars yesterday say a lot..

Shane: So if I put those 2 up, I think more than being pissed at me, they're gonna go at each other.

Ash: Jenn was saying.. Frank doesn't know if he can trust Boogie..  Frank was saying to me the other day that they're a great team, because they play good cop bad cop..
Shane: I'm just in a tough position.
Ash: Cuz again you're doing the dirty work..

Shane: Just make it seem like you might be going up..
Ash: That's what I've been doing.. I don't want you to think I'm gonna switch with the power.
Shane: No.. You've stuck with your team 100%..
Ash: Obviously, I'm not winning competitions..
Shane: I just want to count on your vote next week.
Ash: Hopefully one of us wins and you're not on the block..
Shane: When they see your and Joe's Key pop out, shit's gonna hit the fan.
**I concur.  Spark up your feeds, folks. 

Ash: If they were in the position you're in..
Shane: They wouldn't hesitate..

Shane: Alright.. We're good.  At least we made the Jury..
Ash: That's what I'm smitten about.

Brit and Ashley

Brit: How'd your talk with Shane go?

Ash: I'd rather work with Shane than like the Boogie's of the house.. And I told him, if I win HoH next week.. hes safe.  Their team has to be broken up.  No matter.  I feel bad cuz Shane's always doing the dirty work.  I'm so down for that.  It has to happen.   Also, it was sooooo smart for you to go for safety, even with Shane as HoH, because that prevented someone else from taking it.  If I was Frank, I'd be livid, because it shows Boogie doesn't give a sh*t.

Ashley sees Frank coming and resumes doing her roots.

  He joins them and asks if they'll do his.. 

3:30pm
Frank: You know I was messing with you about the coffee cup earlier..
Brit: You're fine.  Half jokes.. that's what you do..
Frank: I brought you in, because I'd just done some to Boogie too.

Frank: I'm just kind of in a shitty mood today.  I had a bad dream last night.  It insinuated that I was going home next.  Me and Wil were going to this salon in a mall..

3:35pm
Talk turns to anxiety.. Wil's, theirs..

Frank: I think it's like this Pavlov's dog thing.. Every week I haven't been HoH, I've been on the block.

Britney shares that she has panic attacks as well, and while she's not blaming BB, she never had them before.

3:47pm
Bathroom
Brit and Ashley
Danielle is present, blowing her hair. 

Brit and Ashley are happy Frank has gone.  "It was starting to feel awkward."

Brit: He should already be gone.  He was saved by a twist. He wants to complain that the coaches are in the game?  If we weren't, he'd be home in Florida.

4:07pm
Checking in on the Quad...
Dan, Shane, Joe and Ian are chatting in and around the pool.  Dan asks Ian what his goal is: "PhD, 9 to 5."

Inside, Brit's just out of the shower, mission roots be gone accomplished.  Danielle's applying makeup.. 


4:10pm
Bathroom
Ashley, Britney, Danielle

BB: Houseguests, this is a lockdown.  Please go outside and close the sliding glass door.
Ash: Whaaaat?
Brit: Shane's not in the DR, is he?
Danielle: No.

Fishies... and the Nominations and/or Pandora's Box Paranoia mounts..

4:25pm Still fishies... What's up, BB?  Give us Trivia, or give us feeds! Noms? Pandora?  What's up?

4:32pm - Feeds are back.  HGs are locked outside.  Shane is present.

4:33pm
BB: Houseguests, the lockdown is over.  You are now free to move about the house.
Brit: Shane, go see if your door is locked.

Frank and Joe come in and find balls on the floor.. Frank wants to keep it quiet.  That's not gonna happen. 
 

4:35pm More HGs come in to see.

Joe: The balls were laying on the floor, leading towards here.. and there's question marks in there now..

4:38pm
Danielle: What do you think, Boogs?
Boogie: I think they're making the point that it's Pandora's Box..
Danielle: Or it could be a counting Veto tomorrow..
Jenn: Hey, there's a question mark in the box.

Feed 1
Shane heads up to HoH and has a more thorough look around..Brit soon follows.

4:44pm
HoH Feed 1 and 2

Shane: If it's a power, I'm definitely opening it.
Brit: What do you think it means?
Shane: Maybe that that's what the Veto's gonna be..  Maybe they're just trying to make us paranoid.
Brit: I don't think it's about the Veto.  They haven't clued us in on any other game.. I'm just hoping that they're not going to do anything to screw with the game.  If there's some twist that saves Frank again this week, I'm just gonna go home.  I mean, why don't we just freakin' give him the check.
Shane: Serious.

Brit: It could be like a luxury prize..
Shane: Cuz there's no Have Nots this week..

Lots of nervous eating..

Shane: I just don't know.
Brit: It could have to do with PoV.. but why clue us in now?  It doesn't make sense.
Shane: Nope, it doesn't.
Brit: The fact that they did it before nominations??
Shane: Especially with who I'm about to nominate.  If  it's like, I nominate 2 people, and then they're like, you have to nominate 2 different people.. They can't! Could they??

4:50pm - Fishies... because Skippy is evil.

4:52pm
Shane: What do you think the chances are it's gonna effect my choices for nomination?

Brit: Not.  What do you think?
Shane: I don't know.
Brit: We should've just got Frank out week 4..  That was so dumb to get rid of Janelle.
Shane: We can't go back.  Should we stay up here or go down there?
Brit: Why don't you go to the Diary Room, and ask them if that has to do with the game.  I don't know if they're going to tell you anything, but you could at least ask.


4:54pm
Arcade
Britney and Ashley

Ash: If you're trying to figure out how many balls are in there, I got 190.
Brit: What does it mean??

Ash: I'm thinking.

Brit: Hm?
Ash: I'm thinking hard.

4:57pm

Brit: Huh?
Joe: I think it just means there's gonna be a Pandora's Box after nominations.

Dan and Frank

Dan: You, Boogie and __ saw it first.
Frank: Yeah.
Dan: I hate missing that kind of stuff.
Frank: Boogie went on like it was nothing..  he jusst kept walkin.  I picked up the balls and stuffed em in my pocket.

Dan thinks there may be coins hidden in the house somewhere, in an area available to all.

Shane: (paraphrasing) I'm still going with the nomination plan, but I'm gonna change up the speech a little to make everyone more paranoid.. I'll say "because of recent events.." or something like that.  Also I'm not gonna talk to anyone.. I'll come down in like 10 minutes.
Dan: I'm just gonna go keep looking and making everyone paranoid.

5:16pm

Dan interrupts  Danielle and Frank's I feel fat conversation in the Arcade.. He brings the topic back to the balls..

Dan: What does it mean?  Pandora's Box?  Something we have no idea about yet?
Frank: Balls to the wall.

5:17pm
F1

Dan: They don't do things like this in here for nothing. Check all the shoes.
Danielle: (running numbers out loud)  There's 785 balls without those.  If you add those, there's 790.. But in the thing, there's 785 plus or minus..  Cuz, where the space is cut out on the back for the toy.. you could fit 150 there.

Dan: The crazy side of me thinks there's some kind of coins hidden..
Danielle: Well, let's start lookin..
Dan: It's gotta be somewhere that everyone can access..

5:20pm
Frank enters with his laundry.  They suspend the shoe search...

Spark up your feeds, folks.  The HGs are all going bonkers.  It's great stuff, and it's much more fun to watch it happening. 

5:30pm
Dan's search continues in the storage room..

Dan: You guys are having a good time with this, huh?


5:32pm

Boogie and Frank

Frank: What do you think?
Boogie: I don't know.. Dan's f'in runnin' around checking under everything..

Frank There were 5 balls.  I have 3.. Dan has 1.. 
Boogie: I have no clue.  My thought was nobody's figuring anything out from just that..
Frank: Balls to the Wall, maybe?  "Pit of despair."
**Anyone HG makes a Princess Bride reference always wins my heart.


5:35pm
Frank and Ian

Ian: I think it's just a hint that Pandora's Box is coming. 

Ian: If it's a diamond veto or coup d'etat, that would be interesting.
Frank: If it was that and we could switch the votes.. not this week.. but when we need it.
Ian: Or if it's an America's Choice thing, I'm sure you'd get the votes.
Frank: I'm ready for this week to be over.

5:40pm
Quad
Frank finishes up talking to Ian.  Danielle and Shane are game talking upstairs..

Shane tells her his plan for nominations.. He's still nominating Boogie and Frank, but he's adding a bit of intrigue to the speech.  Danielle brings up her Veto is numbers theory..

Downstairs, Britney's theorizing about a twist.  Boogie and Ian think the balls are nothing, just to rile them up..

Britney: Do you think it could be part of a luxury comp?  We're due a luxury comp.

5:47pm BBT Trivia!! Hopefully, nominations are now underway!  We'll see you in a new top post as soon as the feeds come back!
