There are two different experiences, both called “Big Brother”.
One is the television show Big Brother, as the CBS producers present it to broadcast tv audiences, three times per week. But the other is what is actually going on in the Big Brother house; the experience of the house guests, unfiltered — or at least less filtered — by television editors.
Fetchland presents Ruining Big Brother. It’s less “spoiling” Big Brother and more pulling back the curtain, to ruin our collective illusions about reality television. Enjoy! Or better yet, recoil in horror…

Post Veto Paulie
The Veto was a glittery spectacular extravaganza in which Bridgette won but also, unfortunately, smashed her ankle and ended up on crutches. Although Mama Day played a significant role in the Veto competition, as the hostess with the mostest, we didn’t get to see much of her afterward.
Nicole checks her pee pants
Still, it was a fun night overall in the Big Brother house. Because of some behind-the-scene sightings in a mirror (or something) some of the sillier houseguests started talking “ghosts” and getting themselves tense and jittery with half-pretend fear of being haunted. This, of course, inspired the pranksters and Nicole peed her pants while playing silly tricks on scaredycats with Paul and James. In the aftermath Paulie “puts his mom on blast” saying she does this peeing in pants thing “on the reg” and they all have fun chatting in the bathroom while Nicole showers the pee of herself.
Natalie and James flirtfest
After making a “date” using the HOH and London room phones, Natalie and James have a cute, whispery convo side by side. They talk about Frank’s machinations and how the whole house has “coupled up” naming all the pairs and not even realizing how ironic they’re being.
Have-Nots received popcorn and peanuts as their special supplemental foods this week. It could appear to some that this is the year of coddling the houseguests when it comes to calories. However, the bedding situation as HGs isn’t as comfy-time friendlypants since they’re sleeping in bumper cars. So, no complaints from Fetchland on this season’s production.
Meanwhile Paul’s playing a masterful game for a newbie. When confronted head-on by Paulie and Frank about being that one vote for Bronte in the Victor eviction, he denies it yet again. He’s planted a juicy seed of suspicion that gets Paulie and Frank assuming it was Michelle and thus puts her game in jeopardy. They talk about getting her out immediately after Paul leaves the room. Later Paul says he needs to check on his muffins and then comments that he’d never have thought he’d hear himself say such a thing. Things like this are what make him such a fun character in the house. Sometimes people come in planning on letting one aspect of their personality shine but the BB house brings out surprising (and sometimes even formerly dormant) aspects of houseguests.
Frank goes on and on
Frank continued to strategize and annoy, even getting on his #1 fan, Bridgette’s nerves with all the endless game talk. Blah blah freakin’ blah. Enough already. The guy genuinely believes he’s running the show and, especially this early on, that pretty much spells disaster. We’re barely a third of the way into the summer, bro! Unclench a bit. Take a page out of Paul’s book and bake a little. That guy’s game on fleek.
Quote of the day
Talking to Frank and Paulie to determine if he’s OK this week being on the block, Paul says “So, I should just hang out, bake muffins, and shit?”
