Pandora's box - HOH - VETO - and The Twist Julie Chen mentioned on Big Brother 11 - BB11

Here is a brief run down of events over the past couple of days because it has been a bit crazy. I am trying to be diplomatic and not show favor or insult anyone, while still giving you the information. This is for you too Ross, so I hope it helps!
:0) lol

Everyone is buzzing about Kevin winning HOH and Jeff & Michelle being put on the block. I haven't seen any uproar over the HOH competition where Jordan's cup had a hole in it, thus by giving her an obvious disadvantage. Jeff kept questioning her about it and I expected her to be upset about it, but she was just like "I know", in a surprised and nieve way, and they kept talking while Jeff had the look like, "HOW is that okay with you again?"

We have seen Michelle go from manic crying fits alone in the recycled room, elation, then talking to herself for extended periods of time and the infamous yelling out in the night. At the get-go I picked her to win, being as women in science have a huge place in my heart and I hold a lot of respect for them. I started getting concerned for her when she was relaying false stories that she obviously believed herself and then it became clear she was developing her own reality. That may be a strategy for her, who knows, but I can't help but feel nervous for her every time I watch her go emotional full circle in such short amounts of time.

For a long time on the feeds the other day we watched Jeff's paranoia running wild wondering what was going on with the key he found and all the money that was falling from the sky and what they should have done with it, did they do the right thing, etc. Kevin said the DR asked him to pick a negative or positive for the whole house and he picked positive. Well, somehow Kevin was locked into a room off the HOH room, then Jeff found a key, all the while Natalie was following him around and allegedly giving him false information, to which he flips out all day about it and bugs her to tell him what she knows. The key opened Pandora's box outside from what I am understanding and they are getting nervous about the effects of choosing to open it.

(Remember what Julie said, there would be a twist that will affect all the players and the game. Another side note, CBS paid to have a two hour finale this year. That is quite expensive and so there must be something planned to liven up the game as many times as right now, the players are sleeping or laying around and they need some good drama or activity to air.)

Jeff insists Natalie, Kevin and maybe even Jordan know something he doesn't and they are not telling. They all claim or pretend they don't know anything while laughing a little, which further makes him freak out at them while laughing at his own parinoia. I guess the event was money falling from the sky, including some sort of writing on the money and cards that they no longer have and can't remember what the cards and money said. The hundreds were allegedly fake according to the house guests and Jeff said he thinks there was 10 G's total and laughs at how he had money in all his pockets and even his underwear and he will never forget this when he wears those pants now. Jeff is worried that maybe they choose greed by grabbing all the money and now they will suffer. Some agree and some say no, it is what it is. They all talk about how much they got and how they put it in the trash bags and they think they get to keep it, but it is the hands of production right now, who may be counting it. They decide to enjoy it nervously.
Michelle later states production told her it wasn't a trick or something (my memory is getting hazy on that statement), but she was not supposed to tell anyone.

Now for the veto, after the feeds came back on, we were placed in the HOH room with Michelle in full elation and the veto necklace around her neck. She proceeded to ramble vicious false and insulting things to Kevin about Jeff and others, while criticizing others for doing that about her and others and so on. She also defended her alliance with Russell and said Jeff was really playing her and Jordan, as if he had been flirting and hitting on her. She also raved about how smart she was. (Side note - I want to celebrate with Michelle because she was so happy, but then she spoke - to much - again and then the weirdness drowned out the party and the I could see the show being sent to cricket sounds and reflection on Kevin's odd looks.) It was awkward to watch. If you want to hear her going on, check the flashback because I don't want to relay incorrectly what she said, but it was preposterous and sickening and Kevin acted like he was buying it, but I think he is much smarter than that.

So then we see Jeff and Jordan in the splish splash room where Jeff was depressed and frustrated, yet was giving Jordan all kinds of advise and lots of encouragement. It was painful to watch because it is obvious they truly care about each other and to see people who have pure feelings for each other hurt, it is hard to watch them morn together over their loss. Jeff said he did not just lose the veto, he lost the game and when Michelle came in, he gave her a sincere congratulation for winning fair and deserving it. Jordan also did this. Well, Michelle accepted their hugs and congratulations and then when they left the room, she gave a whoopee sign with her hand or something. So, what was that? I can understand how excited she was to win, but to take it to the level of not only happy for herself, but happy for their loss is kinda sick and unnecessary for anything but selfish gratification, so what is Michelle all about? Will we ever know?

Prior to all this, Kevin tried to figure her out. He flat out explained his problem with her was he never knows where her head is at. (This was in the HOH room.) She said she knew and talked with him for a long time, well at the end, Kevin snickered and said, but see you still haven't answered me as to where your head is at. She seemed not to understand him or she thinks she explained herself. Kevin is very frustrated with her and it seems he was even considering taking her out, but that was before she won veto. Within the next few hours after this, she goes from being super elated and chatty, to crying alone in the splish splash room, and talking to herself in the recycle room again. So, will we ever know? What do you think about her highs and lows? Do you know anyone like this? Do you think her reality altering is game play or do you think she really believes the realities she has created? Please be respectful in your comments below, thanks!

Jeff had been drinking beer and later was drinking wine while playing solitaire until like 5am house time, to which when he went to go smoke, out walked Jordan, in quiet support and it was very sweet. They went outside where they shared some quality conversation. Jeff gave Jordan tips to win and vowed to rally support for her int he jury house. He was a little slurred on the Chicago accent while talking to Jordan. He said that he was worried that he would mess up and play ahead of himself and that's just what he did. He said that was his downfall. He then said he wouldn't have changed a thing about how he played the game though, that he made moves he had to in order to play the game to win and he did what he thought he had to do (or something to that effect) to win.

Now, here is my theory on the way the game may play out as a whole. First I am basing this on several factors, one being the obvious, that Julie has announced a twist that could change the game for everyone in the house. Also, the game assimilates chess and that is one reason there is always a chess board in the house. CBS ultimatly wants ratings, so spicing it up and contraversy only help. The pandora's box event with falling money and Kevin in lock up make it obvious there is someting bigger going on. I have a link to the story of Pandora's box at the end of my blog post for you (and some other helpful links). :0) Upon chancing to reopen the box (Which Jeff should try to do to the veto box or if the other one from the yard is around - then that one - something!!!) HOPE WAS FOUND! So if the box is re-opened, then hope would be found. OH, how interesting, I think the key is really hope for someone if they use it right. But see, who knows what really happened in the yard, maybe the money falling was the result of the key use...

Either way, the key Jeff found has to be something. Don't you think?

Well, I do because the money fell (according to the house guests) before the key was used, so it made little difference in the event, however, until I see the entire event, I can only speculate. I think the key is a secret weapon or tool. I think it could be several things, either the actual key to the BB house, so whoever got it, when they were evicted, they could turn around and unlock the door and go back in, or if they won BB, they could come back next season with the key and use it then.

Another theory is that it goes to the veto box and after the veto ceremony, the key holder may open the box, thus by granting them the veto to use as they wish. It could even be both, depending on what the person chooses to use it for. Say they chose to use it for the veto, then it would be "spent", so they could not use it for the BB door.

Someone reminded me of the diamond veto, that was interesting,  and remember Dan and his veto's we watched him make last year? That was fun! Another thing could be the key could lock house guests into a room or something, lol. When the nomination ceremony occurs, everyone not nominated gets their keys, maybe it is a super-key, so the person can avoid being nominated.

What do you think about the key? Do you think the key has any other significance?

As for the chess game analogy, what role do you think each house guest has been cast, or has been shown to portray, for each chess piece? What about for past seasons? Do you think the King always wins?

It would seem, the king and queen run the house, and this is not gender specific either, but more of an observation. This has been Natalie's strategy the entire game, she has assumed the role of Queen for every HOH winner and/or dominant male.

What personality traits do you think most affect the ability to be King or Queen of the house?

What do you think about the deliberate casting of specific types of people, even considering normal jobs can not discriminate against these things, and these are the things that get people cast for, such as what gender you are, social status, marital status, health, job and work history, Hollywood connections, appearance, and so on?

Comment away - you know you want to!

Free Cell Phone for low-income Americans now available in Ohio (and other areas, check this link to see if your area is qualified!)

This program is a new twist to the already existing lifeline credit program. The lifeline credit program is a small credit for low-income and elderly people to ensure they are able to make calls if they need to. Many who are low-income are because of health issues and calling doctors and family is a vital part of their care and living vs. existing. The cell phone option may be better because with the land line, you can have your phone shut off, with the cell phone option, it can not be turned off because you are not able to over-use it. When it runs out of minutes, it runs out. It can help people better budget their time on the phone. I don't believe it has texting either.

If you qualify, your phone will arrive in 5-10 days. Please share this post with your friends and family, many may qualify who don't realize it and with this economy, many who never had to use programs like this are finding the necessity to use them, so please share this.

"SafeLink Wireless is a government supported program that provides a free cell phone and airtime each month for income-eligible customers."

SafeLink Wireless (use this link to see if you qualify!)

Please feel free to comment below about any other programs you might know about that could help people. Do you volunteer? Do you know of funding available to charities? Do you need help with your charity? Anything else on your mind? Leave a comment! Please share, WE CARE!

Big Brother insanity! BB11 guest GONE!

There are several links with info on the Chima situation. She has
exploded after a pressure cooker week. CBS made a statement here:

"Chima has been evicted by the producers from the Big Brother house
for violating the rules. She will not be part of the show's jury. Her
eviction will be addressed on an upcoming broadcast of the show."

Reaitytea.com states:

"Chima was refusing to put her mic on last night for I guess the
entire time BBAD (Big Brother After Dark on Showtime) was on. At one
point she threw it into the pool. After BBAD went off, production
called a house meeting. Everything went to fish on live feeds.

Big Brother producer Allison Grodner told Chima she would have to
pay for the mic pac out of her stipend (Allegedly $5000). Chima said
f**k this s**t, I am outta here. She told Natalie and Lydia "I love
you," went to the Diary Room, pressed the button, it wouldnt' go
green. So she starts screaming DON"T F**K WITH ME! She goes into the
DR and apparently goes bat sh%t crazy on production (who was told to
tape everything). Lydia and Natalie want to leave as well but
production tells them to chill a minute. Lydia is crying and banging
on the DR door."

Obama trolls planning to sabotage our reps offices when they are back home - read this email forwarded from the obama site

So - here is how they are wasting my reps time at home! It is horrible
how they plan to mobilize a group or groups of misinformed neighbors
to insult our country, positioning them to be perceived as patriots,
maybe even to confuse newbie patriots, only to rail them into a
re-dressed acorn or something. They also stole the acronym for the
Ohio Freedom Alliance, most likely the strongest freedom force in our
state!

I have posted this everywhere, but had to post here too. There are
many freedom-loving groups making plans for visiting reps while they
are home, and I think they are going to try to blend in and then make
it look like the people there were there for their event and really
the others were there for a freedom-esque OFA type event, not an ofa
type event below.

What are your thoughts?

* Also, the subject was - Visit Rep. Jordan's office in Mansfield

Subject: Visit Rep. Jordan's office in Mansfield

All throughout August, our members of Congress are back in town.
Insurance companies and partisan attack groups are stirring up fear
with false rumors about the President's plan, and it's extremely
important that folks like you speak up now.

So we've cooked up an easy, powerful way for you to make a big
impression: Office Visits for Health Reform.

All this week, OFA members like you will be stopping by local
congressional offices to show our support for insurance reform. You
can have a quick conversation with the local staff, tell your personal
story, or even just drop off a customized flyer and say that reform
matters to you.

We'll provide everything you need: the address, phone number, and open
hours for the office, information about how the health care crisis
affects your state for you to drop off (with the option of adding your
personal story), and a step-by-step guide for your visit.

According to our records, you live near Rep. Jim Jordan's office in
Mansfield, OH.

Sign up now to visit Rep. Jim Jordan's office in Mansfield this week.

(Not your representative, or think there might be another office
that's easier for you to get to? Click here to find a different
office.)

As you've probably seen in the news, special interest attack groups
are stirring up partisan mobs with lies about health reform, and it's
getting ugly. Across the country, members of Congress who support
reform are being shouted down, physically assaulted, hung in effigy,
and receiving death threats. We can't let extremists hijack this
debate, or confuse Congress about where the people stand.

Office Visits for Health Reform are our chance to show that the vast
majority of American voters know that the cost of inaction is too high
to bear, and strongly support passing health reform in 2009.

Don't worry if you've never done anything like this before. The
congressional staff is there to listen, and your opinion as a
constituent matters a lot. And if you bring a friend, you'll have more
fun and make an even greater impact.

Click below to sign up for an Office Visit for Health Reform:

http://my.barackobama.com/OfficeVisit

Wherever you live, these visits matter: Many representatives are
pushing hard toward reform, and they are taking a lot of heat from
special interests. They deserve our thanks and need our support to
continue the fight. But those who are still putting insurance
companies and partisan point-scoring ahead of their constituents must
know that voters are watching -- and that we expect better.

Earlier this week, the President wrote that "this is the moment our
movement was built for" and asked us all to commit to join at least
one event this month. This is the way to answer that call, and rise to
the challenge of this moment together.

Thank you for going the extra mile when it matters the most,

Mitch
