['Big Brother 12' - 'Final Head of Household Round 1 Completion, Round 2 Live'] While you can tell executive producer Allison Grodner is still ruling 'Big Brother' with her focus on showmances and a young model-ish kind of casting, someone new must be at the wheel. The final-four week and its scheduling of events is all kerflooey. Perhaps they want the audience to "expect the unexpected." ...

['Big Brother 12' - 'Power of Veto #10, Eviction #10, Head of Household #11 Start'] Things have gone really funky in the scheduling of the last week of 'Big Brother 12.' Tonight, a Wednesday, was a "live" eviction show that wasn't live at all. Thursday night will be a live show, but a good portion of it will be previously taped. It's enough to make a certain hamster scratch his head and ask, ...

['Big Brother 12' - 'Head of Household #10 Conclusion, Nominations #10'] In what seems to be the power move in the ratings ploy game, we had to endure yet another "to be continued" live Head of Household competition this week. It's not that I don't understand the concept of endurance competitions. I wouldn't have an issue with the continuation if indeed 'Big Brother' was doing endurance. It ...

[Big Brother 12 - 'Live Eviction #9, HoH #10] Another summer of 'Big Brother' is wrapping up as tonight's show gets us down to the final four hamsters. Who would have thought that the final five would be the Brigade minus one, Britney and Ragan? It's time for all those remaining in the house to step up their game. In the Brigade, the guys have basically jumped in to win -- once they were up ...

('Power of Veto #9') Only a few more weeks and 'Big Brother 12' will be history. Of course, many think it would be best to put it out of its misery now, but that's not going to happen. The hamsters are dwindling and we're down to five. Because of the low number of houseguests, CBS decided to up the count once again by forcing new sock puppet hamsters into the house. Well, maybe there's another ...

(Season 12, Episode 23) Hey, I have a fresh idea for the production staff of 'Big Brother 12' -- let's start out the show with a good 15 minutes of recap material! It's sure to be a hit with the show fans, right? If your DVR messed up, you missed nothing that you haven't seen before in the first quarter of the show. I understand a brief recap, but tonight's show took it way too far. ...

Last night's 'Big Brother 12' live double eviction show ended on yet another cliffhanger. Sure, there was a lot of action in the episode itself -- an eviction, a Head of Household competition, nominations, a Power of Veto competition and then a second eviction. That would leave us with a Head of Household who has no duties for the week unless ... there's another HoH competition. Unlike the ...

(Season 12, Episode 22) Tonight's show wasn't merely a double live eviction show. In reality, it was Live Eviction #7, Head of Household #8, Nominations #8, Power of Veto #8 and Live Eviction #8. Obviously that won't all fit in the title, so we're just calling it by a simpler name. It was an entire week of competitions jam-packed into one night. For those who question why the image of Enzo is ...

(Season 12, Episode 21) Betrayals, lies and backstabbing have gone amok in the 'Big Brother 12' house. Don't you just love it? As the weeks remaining dwindle to a precious few for our hamsters, the drama is picking up. While that's not necessarily good for all of the hamsters, it's definitely better for the show fans. The season got off to a lackluster start when the production put its focus on ...

(Season 12, Episode 20) One good thing about tonight's 'Big Brother 12' episode is that it started on time on the East Coast. Another was that they went over fifteen minutes before the first commercial break. The bad news with the latter is that most of the content was recap material. They had promos for tonight's episode featuring our four Brogade boys in the Diary Room together going on about ...
