ticketholders have NOT been notified of an earlier start time - tomorrow's show will be live (so what was their announcement about?)

sounds like their announcement was nominee speeches will be pre-taped. Britney thinks coaches choice to join will require extra time.

Dan/Britney have confirmed that during tomorrow's live show, they have to cut the Final plea speeches to have enough time for twist.

Dan says the nominees speeches will be cut from tomorrows proceedings.

Britney suggests the coaches would have been simply given their keys, if it looked like one of them was going to be evicted.

I don't think she's wrong.

Jokers:

Jenn called someone a floater?

Yeah I feel the same. The casting is off and the coaches twist is awful (in my opinion). There's really no one to root for amongst the original HMs and I would prefer to see returning housemates compete just against each other.

I think it's been dull since Willie left, but the twist may make it better - either the coaches joining the game, or if the public have voted against it the newbies will rebel against them, which could be good viewing.

The public will have voted for it i'm sure, and if they didn't Grodner would stick her oar in and pretend they did.

I've found the producer bias in favour of veterans a little too off-putting this year. They've had a free pass to the jury and no less than FIVE hg's will leave before they (inevitably?) join the game, with current houseguests loyal and indebted to them due to the coaching twist. It, frankly, takes the piss.

Having said that, the show's picking up steam. Shane, Ian, Ashleigh and Danielle are shaping up to be classic houseguests. Shane is especially charismatic and a challenge beast - if he can last the distance. Britney's making me laugh, and the real game will hopefully begin from this week forward - the true test start's now. I guess perhaps part of the problem lays there, it doesn't really feel as though the game has begun yet? To use an Olympics analogy, like a mere warm up, before the heats and finals.

Ashley asks Ian to vote for Joe. He "just can't do that. Nothing against Joe or anything."

Her charms are not quite so charming today....

Ian and Ashley in Have Not room. Asking if Ian already promised Frank his vote, Ian says, Yeah, Sorry. Ash says she understands.

Salmon cakes for dinner.

This is the satisfied look of Joe, who came up with the BRILLIANT idea of leaving a piece of cheesecake in the DR #BB14 http://pic.twitter.com/1C9tZQAE

Janelle has negotiated in the DR to allow her to have her daughter in the jury house: http://forums.jokersupdates.com/ubbt...umber=17564171

In HOH, Janie, Wil, Brit, Shane & Danielle talk evicting Frank tomorrow. How can a mtg be professional like this? #BB14 http://pic.twitter.com/UAZhV758

It seems fair enough to me to allow her daughter in the jury house given the daughter cannot speak yet.

She'll grow up speaking game talk!
Her first words will be "I nominate ......"

Wil and Danielle whispering in HN. Wil obviously really fancies himself as a "player"; I think he may be right.

eta: Dan arrives to "check she's OK."

While Danielle is whining to Dan in the have not room, the HGs got playdoh in the SR & Jenn is creating #BB14 http://pic.twitter.com/CCAmnwkA

I think Britney stands a good chance of HoH if it's endurance because she's so light, does anyone remember how she did on endurance in BB12?

Dan was counseling Danielle in the pantry, saying how "it's hard the first time you stab someone, but in the end it's glorious."

Ashley said Frank is flirting with Wil to get his vote, and Shane says that's disgusting.

Britney tells Janelle that Frank intends to stay up later than her tonight, so he can talk to people....

Methinks Britney wants Janelle to stay up all night on a fools errand, so she's tired for the endurance.

Janelle buys this, hook line and sinker......

Janelle condemns Frank for bragging about reading a book about manipulating people.

This is a book Janelle has also read......
