BB11 Houseguests Jessie and Casey--Not Their First Bikini Contest Together

noreply@blogger.com (realitytv) — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 03:43:00 +0000

Did you catch tonight's episode of Big Brother? BB11 houseguest Casey Turner, aka DJ "Mingle Mixx", hosted/dj'd a bikini contest for some of the ladies in the big brother house with Jessie sitting not far from him being hyper critical of Laura---dare I say judging?

Seems this wasn't Jessie and Casey's first bikini contest together, with Casey as host/dj and judge Jessie on the sidelines. One of my commenters tonight pointed out that Jessie has been a bikini contest judge at Gators in Florida, the same place that Casey works as a DJ and host of the contests. They also said that Jessie had won a push up contest on the same night Casey was there and wondered why Jessie and Casey were acting as though they didn't know each other in the big brother house. Good question, right? See comment left below:

Of course, the comment peeked my curiousity......Jessie participated in a push up contest at Gators (Casey is the announcer of the participants in the contests) in the first video. (Jessie can be seen at the 4:21 mark on the left side of the camera ---he turns his head to the camera at 4:38.) He's watching another push up participant, Casey's talking. Warning: the last few seconds of this video are graphic and NSFW: (photos below from the same event)

In the second clip,(May 2009) Jessie looks to be one of the judges in a bikini contest that Casey is hosting on a different date at Gators. Jessie can be seen at the 7:15 mark---on the left/brown shirt---dancing in his seat at times. He's shown several times from there on, as is Casey.

Below are photos from the push up contest where both Jessie and Casey are present (from the same event in the first video clip). The guy standing to Jessie's right is in the picture below with Casey in the background.

So, why are Jessie and Casey acting as though they've never met? Raises alot of questions and tons of speculation. I checked their introductions to each other on tonight's episode. Jessie and Casey head toward each other; Jessie looks a little shell shocked, Casey says, "Hey, man, name's Casey" and Jessie says, "It's Jessie, dude."

13 Strangers? Not so much.

BB11: POV Ceremony Spoiler/ Weekend Drama

noreply@blogger.com (realitytv) — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 18:38:00 +0000

Lots of drama in the big brother house this weekend and it's only week one. I can only imagine how intense things will be on down the road. Here's some of the highlights heading into the POV ceremony which was held today: (results at the end of post)

Not too long after the POV competition, Lydia worked her magic with Jessie and Natalie and it had them thinking of alternative ideas for who to get rid of this week.

The 'athelete clique' is not cliquin'. Russell and Jeff had words Saturday morning--basically, Russell and Natalie feel Jeff hasn't been an 'all in' part of the group and they've done all the dirty work (or hard work like win comps)--yet at the same time they say it was his idea who to put on the block. Russell feels Jeff didn't pull his weight in the veto competition. Strong words exchange between the two.

Natalie and Jeff also exchange heated words, more of the same about him not pulling his weight basically. Jeff does not get along with any of the people in his clique. (except sometimes Jessie) Bottom line: Russell and Natalie see Jeff as weak.

After talking to Lydia, Jessie and Natalie decide they'd rather get rid of Braden this week because he's someone who needs to be backdoored .....can win competitions and they expect he would win the POV if nominated.

Jessie and Natalie discuss their idea with Russell and see if he's willing to take Lydia off the block to be replaced with Braden. He is.

Jeff---addressed several of the houseguests (mostly his own clique) about how he's doing his part. Jeff has a very short temper the past couple of days.

Where do people stand right now?

Jeff and Jordan----growing closer, wondering why Lydia's mood changed; wonder what kind of deal she's made with Jessie/Natalie. Other houseguests are watching them..wondering how close they are.

Chima---tried to work Jessie and Russell some to get her off the block instead of Lydia but doing well at not causing attention to herself.

Laura---trying to fit in and not really finding a spot. Most likely that'll work for her though considering this group at the moment.

Michele---being quiet/staying out of the way except she was bit Casey's head off for asking her about her job so much. Then she apologized. She said he acts like the detective in the group.

Natalie----sticks to Jessie like glue but will she once he's not HOH? Still a bit overwhelming to watch her....she likes to be in control.

Casey---trying to find his place, getting on some's nerves.

Kevin----just playing it cool for now.

Lydia---very emotional. Says she doesn't cry much but has several times since being on the block. She wears her emotions on her sleeve, however, for now it's worked for her.

Russell---since he won POV, he seems to think he's the man. Nothing much more to say about him.

Ronnie---where to start. Ronnie does not stop playing this game--ever. He is always in someone's ear. For example, he had the idea to cause a tie breaker between Lydia and Chima for the 'first tie breaker ever in week one of big brother'----then when he heard of the Braden replacement plan, he immediately came up with the idea to rally everyone to keep Braden and evict Chima. (without Jessie, Natalie, Russell knowing) Mindya.....he did this way before the POV Ceremony.

Jessie----just being HOH; nothing to do now that the nominations and POV replacement has been done.

Braden.......see below:

POV Ceremony Results:

Lydia was taken off the block. Braden is the replacement.
While today, plans are to evict Braden, these houseguests change their mind before I can even post their original thought........there's no doubt it'll go back and forth all week until live eviction night with Ronnie leading the charge. (see above Ronnie's status)

Casey talks to Jessie and Russell about getting Chima out of the house. He tells them he thinks she can be very persuasive.

Ronnie and Laura talk game---Laura tells him that Jessie told her he (Ronnie) was going to put her on the block when he won HOH. Ronnie tells Laura he never said that and can't imagine how that got started and says he never, ever talks game with Jessie. (he does---often) Ronnie sticks to Laura like glue most of the afternoon.

Lydia thinks Ronnie is on her side. Braden and Jeff tell her he is not.

Jeff says he will not use the POV but would throw the comp to let Lydia win.

BB11 Spoilers: Lydia and Jessie

noreply@blogger.com (realitytv) — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 15:44:00 +0000

Last night on the live feeds, Lydia and Jessie had a few moments worth mentioning. When I heard Lydia say, "when I think of you, I think of a sanctuary, someone that I can trust and escape into", I hit the rewind button. Jessie a sanctuary? Hmmm....

So, before this statement, Jessie finds Lydia crying with Ronnie and Jeff. He asks her to go talk and she immediately asks for a hug. Jessie tells her he's sorry, but Lydia is completely 'understanding' and tells him she's not mad and she knows someone had to be on the block. Insert the sanctuary comment ---Jessie asks, 'why didn't you tell me this 12 hours ago?" Lydia again assures him she has no hard feelings towards him or any animousity; she also lets him know she will never nominate him if she is HOH. "I totally have a soft spot for you," she says. Jessie seems to be honestly impressed and seems drawn to Lydia.

Lydia pulls Jessie in again and says "I want to snuggle with you..." and asks him is she can be his 'bed buddy' tonight. He grins and tells her not to put him in that spot. She questions him and continues to flirt........as does he.

Jessie says she's a tough chic...Lydia tells him she hates to cry and the last time she cried was watching 'Finding Nemo'.....they hold hands. He tells her he's scared of her as a competitor. She tells him she wants him around and wants to be snuggle buddies. Jessie sighs. He tells her he thinks she's beautiful....lays his head on her stomach.

Are Jessie and Lydia destined to be big brother 11's first showmance of the season? They definitely have some chemistry. After their 'meeting', Lydia moved on to flirt with Russell---so she's working the game on every level, as she said she would before she entered the house. Jessie seems infatuated with Lydia, but is he just trying to dispel the gay rumors from last season? Later in the night, he crawled into Lydia's bed for some snuggling. Stay tuned!

BB11 Spoilers: Houseguests First Night in Big Brother House

noreply@blogger.com (realitytv) — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 15:57:00 +0000

With the premiere of Big Brother only a few days away, inside information about how things are going the first few days in the big brother house are again being provided by corneroffice via realitybbq. CO's info is always on the money, so if you're ready to know what's going on in the big brother 11 house---read on!

The first houseguests to enter the house were Russell, Ronnie, Laura and Kevin. As mentioned before, the houseguests will be divided and playing as 'cliques' The bb cliques are:

Populars---Braden, Jordan, Laura

Athletes---Russell, Jeff, Natalie

Brains---Ronnie, Chima, Michele

Offbeats---Lydia, Kevin, Casey

Also from CO regarding the mystery big brother houseguest(s),

"The first HOH will be a former HG. Each clique is assigned one. The HG don’t
know who they’re getting. Who are they? One of them had a showmance. Another was
almost an All Star."

As for the former houseguest speculation, BB9 Sheila, BB8 Jessica, BB10 Brian are still in the mix. With the 'almost all-star', Cowboy Michael, from BB5, could be in the running as a return. More 'speculation' on returning houseguests below.

Update: Jokers is reporting BB9 Sheila will not be on big brother 11.

Only three more days to get the early bird discount for the big brother 11 live feeds!
.

How'd things go the first night between the new big brother houseguests? Check it out:(also from corneroffice)

“As with every first night of Big Brother it was a love fest.

Ronnie couldn’t hide his excitement.

During the “Getting to know you” in the living room, Laura and
Braden sat in the “you got screwed chairs”.

Casey comes off as another Boogie, fedora and all.

Jeff wore the Chicago city flag on his shirt. He definitely has an accent.

Michele downplayed her personal info.

Jordan is the new Jessica and everyone will love her.*

Watch out for Russell. He’s very chill and smart.*

Lydia and Laura were the first to talk game.* It was very brief and
they said it’s hard to team up when they don’t know what cliques
they’ll be in. Then Jeff and Russell joined them up stairs to play chess.

When Casey was called into the DR the rest of the HG made fun of him a little. Braden rapped as well as a white surfer from the OC can.

BB decided to divided the HG into their cliques after all. They found out when they entered the Back Yard for the HOH Comp.

The first comp was endurance.

The Athletes seemed to have the best grip on the game over all. Not just the physical aspect but also the mental. They’re there to play.

At 11:30 the house had an HOH. You first met him in BB10 and he is sure to add a lot of drama to not only the house but to his clique as well.”

Definitely sounds like BB10 Brian is there or now there's web speculation it could be Jessie. Brian the first to be evicted during his season, however, Michelle, from bb10, posted on her facebook she was rooting for Jessie. Gosh, I hope that's just not true, but Jessie brings much more 'drama' to the table than Brian.

Casey, aka, 'Mingle Mixx'....reminds me of a mix of Boogie and Adam, bb9 winner. That could work against him.

Big Brother 11 News Round Up--Twist, Mystery Guest, Cliques

noreply@blogger.com (realitytv) — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 14:16:00 +0000

I still have 'big brother brain' from all the information released on the season yesterday, but I'll most likely have that for three more months, especially once the live feeds
get fired up. Here's a wrap up of yesterday's news:

Twelve houseguests announced---they will be playing as 'cliques' of four: Popular, Athletes, Brainiacs and Off-Beats

A mystery houseguest will be announced--(CBS says July 7th; Exec. Producer says July 9th)---speculation is that it's a 'recycled' houseguest. Some feel it may be Sheila from BB9, because she left a myspace blog saying she'd be traveling for three months. Suspicous, but it is too suspicious? Some feel it could be Jessica from BB8 or Brian from BB10, because BB10 Steven said they had disappeared lately. Again.....hmm.

Competitions will be played as 'cliques'---They will compete for food, safety from eviction and luxury prizes as part of their clique. Winners will 'have' food, hot water, comfortable sleeping.....losers will 'have not' and will have food restrictions voted on by America. (as well as slop) The room below looks to be for the 'have nots'---no beds, no lights:

New commercials hit the air with the new bb11 cast:

Those who win will have food, warm water, and nice beds; those who do not win will suffer the worst living conditions in big brother history, including cold water, food restrictions (voted on by America starting week 2) and sleeping in cold, dark rooms.

BB11 Houseguest Russell Kairouz

noreply@blogger.com (realitytv) — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 20:41:00 +0000

Big Brother 11 houseguest Russell Kairouz

Russell's facebook

Bio: Known to his friends as "Russell the Lovemuscle," this commercial real-estate broker is certain to be a favorite in the BIG BROTHER house. Loud and brash, Russell holds nothing back and is always ready for a fight. In fact, his brash personality is probably his biggest asset outside the house, where he is a mixed martial arts fighter. He claims nothing scares him and that includes the game of BIG BROTHER.

Russell's biggest pet peeve is people who don’t think before they act, but only because he's made mistakes while doing just that. In college, he was in a motorcycle accident while trying to impress a group of girls. The crash left him temporarily paralyzed and it took six surgeries to get him back into fighting form.

Now Russell is ready to tackle a new form of competition against his fellow Houseguests. It's a challenge and he'll do it with a smile on his face because, according to Russell, "if you’re not smiling, you’re not living."

Big Brother houseguest Ronnie Talbott:

Bio: Ronnie, a married man of five and a half years, will miss his wife tremendously while he is in the BIG BROTHER house because she puts up with him, and he worries that his Housemates may not. He describes his wife as his hero and says she is one of the kindest people he has ever met who embraces everyone in the world.

He is obsessed with video games and often plays more than six hours a day, even to the point of ignoring his wife. Ronnie is a collector of all things sci-fi, especially Star Wars collectibles.

Ronnie is an über BIG BROTHER fan who can recite the order of every person ever evicted from the BIG BROTHER house. This student is most proud of being a national champion in speech and debate, as he feels this activity is where he excels.

One of the most interesting things he learned from one of his previous jobs as a travel agent is that you can purchase a personal blessing from the Pope.

Ronnie's birth date is January 15, 1979.

Big Brother 11 houseguest Natalie Martinez:

Natalie wants people to know that nobody can intimidate her! This feisty Latina has no problem lying, cheating and stealing to win the game. She'll do whatever it takes to keep the heat off her and turn it onto others, and believes her petite frame will throw off her opponents.

Natalie is a World Champion bronze medalist in Tae Kwon Do. She knows how to protect herself and she says she can handle anything that comes her way. She's also a big poker player and is confident that her ability to pick up on her opponent's "tells" will serve her well in this competition. One would be foolish to underestimate her and she invites them all to "bring it on."

The rock in Natalie’s life is her father. His unselfish nature is something she’ll never forget and believes that being out of contact with him for such a long time will be the most difficult aspect of this game.

Natalie is a strategist and plans to deal herself a good hand in the house as she is definitely going to be a force to be reckoned with.

Natalie was born in Chino, Calif. Her birth date is March 3, 1985.
