Cesternino and Fishbach know Everything about Survivor… except how to win the game.

LIVE on Wednesday, 9/26 at 9:15 pm ET… It’s the debut of the “Survivor Know-It-Alls”. Rob Cesternino and Stephen Fishbach are the smartest and most knowledgeable Survivor players. They’ve got this game completely figured out and combined they’ve won the game exactly 0 times. Now they’re sharing all of they’re Survivor insights with you LIVE every Wednesday after each episode of Survivor Philippines. Join Rob and Stephen LIVE to ask your questions.

Rob Cesternino and Stephen Fishbach of Survivor Tocantins premiere “Survivor Know-It-Alls” after the second episode of Survivor Philippines.

In matching plaid shirts, Rob and Stephen Fishbach begin by breaking down the ousting of Roxanne “Roxy” Martin from Matsing, the Russell Swan Tribe. Stephen says that Roxy Martin’s eviction was unsurprising and he was happy to see her go.

Rob and Stephen discuss Malcolm Freburg’s showmance with Angie Layton and if they are threatening to the other tribe members. Stephen thinks that Malcolm cuddling with Angie isn’t an issue and could be an extra alliance in the game. Stephen also discusses his fake showmance with Erinn Lobdell on Survivor Tocantins and how it helped them formed an alliance.

Denise Stapley’s decision as the swing vote to keep Angie Layton was a good decision, according to Stephen, because she keeps herself in good graces with Malcolm. Rob thinks she may have traded long-term success for short-term safety. Stephen thinks that Denise’s plan could work out in the long-term to have a solid three-person alliance down the road.

Rob and Stephen propose the name “Mangie” for Malcom and Angie’s showmance and discuss if being a showmance is an automatic target and Rob’s history being around showmances on Survivor Amazon and Survivor All-Stars. They agree that Russell Swan is a larger target than Mangie.

Rob asks Stephen about Angie’s comments how Survivor could be greatly improved with cookies. Stephen thinks that her comment was not offensive and Jeff Probst overreacted. Rob added that this is what should have been expected from a pageant queen on Survivor.

Rob and Stephen weigh in on Malcolm Freburg and whether he is a good player or a bad player. They agree that he is a good player, but very young and will have a hard time keeping up with the older and more strategic players.

Rob and Stephen discuss the Kalabaw tribe and how Jonathan Penner found a Hidden Immunity Idol. They mention how the tribe will likely notice that the handle from the rice jar is missing and learn that Penner has the idol. They discuss how Penner has continued to isolate himself from his tribe.

They also discuss Carter Williams and how he has yet to have a confessional or be heard on the show in any capacity. Rob chalks this up to having a season with three returning players and two celebrities. Stephen and Rob also discuss Jeff Kent, who Stephen claims is the best celebrity player to ever be on Survivor.

Turning to the Tandang tribe, Rob discusses how RC Saint-Amour is the only non-returner to find an Immunity Idol clue and her misstep to share the clue with Abi-Maria Gomes. Rob says that anyone that wants to be your best friend or alliance partner right when you meet them is a red flag and should be avoided. Rob also points to the fact that all-young people alliances rarely work out. Stephen said that age 28 or 29 is the best age for someone on Survivor. They agree that the RC and Abi-Maria alliance will likely blow up soon.

Rob and Stephen discuss sharing the Hidden Immunity Idols or clues. Rob says that he would probably never share an idol or a clue, unless he could leverage it to earn the trust of an individual. Stephen disagrees, and thinks that sharing an idol can help build an alliance, like he did with Taj Johnson-George on Survivor Tocantins.

Rob brings up Lisa Whelchel’s Survivor meltdown and that the rest of the Tandang tribe thought she was looking for the idol. Rob is pulling for Lisa Whelchel since she is a fan of the show. Stephen is less sympathetic toward Lisa and thinks that as a big fan she should have known what she was getting into.

Rob and Stephen take some listener questions and discuss if Penner can bounce back after finding the idol. However, they are concerned that having the idol might lead to an inflated ego. They also discuss Mike Skupin’s many injuries since arriving on the island. They discuss on whether Roxy had any similarities to Naonka Mixon of Survivor Nicaragua and whether Angie Layton is playing dumb as strategy.

Listener Alex Forstenhausler calls in to discuss sharing immunity idols and reminds Rob and Stephen how Eric Cardona in Survivor Samoa did not share his idol and was blindsided.

Rob ends the show teasing the upcoming shows with Roxy Martin, Kim Spradlin, and the upcoming webshow which will feature coverage of The Amazing Race.

Can Russell Swan rebound on episode 2 of Survivor Philippines?

Episode Recapped by Tyler James Linder

Rob Cesternino starts the show by teasing about a big announcement for the podcast so shocking even Nicole is stumped. Rob reveals that RHAP Legend Stephan Fishbach will be joining him every Wednesday for a post-Survivor live show called “Survivor Know-It-Alls”, a free-for-all of Survivor backseat quarterbacking happening every Wednesday at 9:15.

Rob and Nicole then dive head-first into previewing tomorrow’s episode by bringing on the first of our new RHAP-porters, Kalabaw tribe correspondent Paul Michio McCarthy. They discuss the predictable rivalry that came to the surface last episode between Jonathan Penner and Jeff Kent and how it was surprising that the tribe migrated towards Kent over Penner. Paul talks about how most of the secret scenes on Jonathan Penner’s tribe revolve around Jeff Kent’s leg injury and speculates an early departure for the MLB All Star.

The discussion then goes to Jonathan Penner’s reputation for rubbing the young women of Survivor the wrong way and this season not being an exception.

Rob brings up how forgettable the other four members of the Kalabaw tribe not named Penner and Kent are. Paul mentions the possible fireworks that might arise between prop-8 supporter Jeff Kent and the openly Lesbian Dana Lambert. Rob thinks it has the potential to develop into a Richard Hatch and Rudy Boesch relationship and believes people are over-thinking the angle.

Rob then asks about the mysterious enigma which is Carter Williams. Paul says that through his research he found out Carter’s old nickname used to be Butterface.

Rob asks Paul who he thinks will survive longer out of Katie Hanson and Sarah Dawson. Paul sides with Nicole and picks the eye-pleasing Katie to go for the long haul.

Michael Skupin correspondent Tyler Sloan then joins Rob and Nicole to discuss the Tandang tribe. Rob starts things off by discussing Lisa Whelchell and how he and Tyler both feel she definitely started the game on the wrong foot by isolating herself. Rob thinks her attempt to start a fire was throughly amusing.

Rob then brings up Nicole’s winner pick Artis Silvester and how he was completely invisible in the first episode. Tyler thinks he sees potential in a partnership between him and Mike Skupin and sees Artis being one three older people on his tribe as a potential benefit.

Tyler share’s Rob’s too-hard-too-fast sentiment about RC Saint-Amour, thinking that her building alliances so fast is going to paint a quick target on her back and maybe even get her voted out first on the tribe.

Rob tells a story of an encounter at the Big Brother reality rally with Abi Maria Gomes and Christian Cha. Tyler says she’s good friends with Big Brother 13runner-up Porsche Briggs. Tyler thinks there’s a possibility of a showmance between Abi Maria and Peter Yurkowski. He thinks Pete could either be brilliant or just another dumb Jersey Shore stereotype he was trying so desperately to avoid in his cast interview.

To round things off Rob brings in Aaron Roberston for the Matsing tribe. Rob jumps right into if Russell Swan has any possibility to survive after the rocky first episode. Aaron thinks Russell has a history as a horrible leader, isolating Shambo Waters and leading to the Galu tribe’s demise during Survivor: Samoa.

Rob thinks it’s clear that the power players on the Matsing tribe appears to be Denise Stapley and Malcolm Freeberg. Aaron thinks Angie Layton will stick around due to her connection with Malcolm.

Rob asks Aaron if the tribe is going to pull the trigger on Russell Swan as soon as they go back to tribal. Aaron thinks it depends on rather or not the tribe is anticipating a possible dissolve of the three tribes into two. If they think there’s going to be a change-up, Aaron thinks the tribe would rather get rid of Swan sooner rather than later. If they’re weary of how long the three tribe format will last they might keep him around for challenge strength alone. Aaron believes Roxy Morris will be on the outs regardless of the outcome.

Finally, Rob brings in Big Brother 12 winner Hayden Moss to talk about the recently announced Canadian version of Big Brother. Hayden says this edition of the global reality sensation will follow the American format of Big Brother, citing that Canadians have been watching the American version of the show all fourteen seasons and are chomping at the bits for a chance to play.

Rob asks Hayden if Matt Hoffman officially a part of the Brigade. Hayden says Matt will always be a Bridgade member and cites him as a big reason for that alliance’s success. Rob asks which of the final two in Big Brother 14 Hayden thinks should have won. Hayden says he was personally rooting for Ian Terry but thought Dan Gheesling played one of the most impressive strategic games ever. In the end he thinks Dan’s loss comes down to a Russell Hantz complex of isolating the jury.

Rob brings up Ian’s multiple interviews asking for Kristen Biting’s phone number. Hayden gives Ian props for being at the top of his game.

Hayden felt Britney Haynes falling victim to the infamous “Dan’s Funeral” was tough to watch. Rob thinks Britney not attending the Big Brother after-party is a sign of bitter feelings, but Hayden feels that’s just part of her personality and says she wasn’t involved in post-show Big Brother 12 activities as well.

Finally Rob ends the show by talking some Fantasy Football with Hayden.

Ian Terry was the Big winner of Big Brother, beating Dan Gheesling 6-1 on the Big Brother 14 Finale

LIVE Right after the Big Brother Finale on Wednesday, 9/19 at 11:15 pm ET – Rob Cesternino is LIVE to recap the finale of Big Brother 14. We’ve been following the show every minute of the summer and it all comes to an end in one blockbuster show. After the winner is crowned, we’ll recap the entire show and discuss whether the jury awarded the money to the right person.

The final three has been waiting for this night for a week since Dan’s shocking eviction of Shane Meaney on Thursday night of last week. Will Dan Gheesling be a Big Brother winner for the second time or will the jury be unforgiving for all of the deals that Dan broke during the season. Can Ian Terry go from Big Brother superfan to Big Brother winner in one summer? Or will Danielle Murphree go from the student to the teacher and beat Dan Gheesling at his own game.

In the end, Ian Terry won in the final two 6-1 over Dan Gheesling giving Nicole another correct prediction once again. Though Dan convinced both Ian and Danielle to throw a portion of the HOH competition, Dan wasn’t able to get to the finals with Danielle. Ian ended up making an amazing finals speech and won over the jury in the exciting Big Brother finish.

Join us for our last Big Brother live show of the season. Stay tuned tomorrow for our coverage of Survivor Philippines.

The All Quack Pack Edition of Rob Has a Podcast interviews the Big Brother Final Three (Photo: Sonja Flemming/CBS ©2012 CBS Broadcasting, Inc. All Rights Reserved.)

Wednesday night’s Big Brother finale was the most compelling and perhaps the most explosive since Big Brother 2 . With emotions still running very high from finale night, Rob Cesternino had a chance to speak with all three of the Big Brother 14 finalists about their game and what’s been taking place since the end of the show.

Big Brother 14 Winner, Ian Terry

Interview begins at 01:40

Only 21 years old, Ian spent the summer going from Superfan of the Show to the man who defeated one of the games greatest players.  Rob asked Ian about what his relationship is like with Dan following the finale on Wednesday night.  Rob inquires Ian is he’s found out how badly Dan was trying to take him out at the end of the game and if he realized that if he did not win the veto on the Double Eviction night, Dan would have sent him out the door.  Ian said he didn’t realize it at the time but was made aware by his family.  Ian said that he will spend the next few months trying to unwind after his experience in the house and before he goes back to school. Rob asked Ian if he thought he made a mistake back whenMike Boogie was evicted by telling Mike what he did.  Ian agreed that he made a tactical error but couldn’t help telling Boogie since he had so much respect for his game.

Big Brother 14 Runner-Up, Dan Gheesling

Interview begins at 17:55

After a summer spent talking about Dan, Rob finally gets the chance to speak again to Dan Gheesling.  Dan and Rob have so much to catch up on from the game going back to when Dan first entered the house.   Along with Chelsea Gheesling by his side, Rob confesses to perhaps putting the jinx on Dan for his recent proclamation that Dan was going to win the game.  Even though some people are not happy with the way that Dan played the game, Dan says that he left everything from the game on the field.  Rob also plays some Monday morning quarterback with Dan about the eviction of Shane and how Rob thinks Dan would’ve had a better chance to defeat Danielle and Shane for the final HOH than he did with Ian.  That being said, Rob agreed with Dan’s need to control his own destiny and get to the final two.  Finally, Dan discusses his thoughts on how the Big Brother jury came to their decisions on Wednesday night.

Big Brother 14 Second Runner-Up, Danielle Murphree

Interview begins at 31:00

Following her eventful summer in the Big Brother house, Danielle says that she is overwhelmed and shocked about how her experience.  Danielle says that she is still very upset with Dan.  Danielle says that she feels betrayed by Dan and that he played her for a fool.  Danielle thinks that Dan wanted Ian in the finals all along.  Danielle says that she is livid about Dan’s lie that he would keep Shane safe during Danielle’s HOH.  Rob asked Danielle about her showmance with Shane Meaney and she said that she is very excited about the direction that it’s headed.  Danielle says that she is going to visit Shane in Vermont in the next few months.  Rob also asked Danielle about if she was surprised to hear Janelle Pierzina bring up her lies on the finale.  Danielle admits to stretching the truth about some things about Janelle but she didn’t really want to experience the wrath of Janelle.

Yul Kwon Knows a thing or two about Jonathan Penner (Photo: Monty Brinton/CBS© 2012 CBS Broadcasting Inc.)

After a long summer vacation, Survivor is finally back with the premiere of Survivor Philippines. Rob Cesternino talks with the winner of Survivor Cook Islands and host of the PBS Series “America Revealed”, Yul Kwon. Yul has been watching this season with a keen eye since his former tribemate, Jonathan Penner is one of this season’s returning players along with Mike Skupin from Survivor: The Australian Outback and Russell Swan fromSurvivor Samoa.

Rob asked Yul about Penner’s start to the game in which his tribemates seem to resent the fact that he is a returning player. The person leading the charge against Penner is former major league baseball all-star second baseman, Jeff Kent. Furthering Penner’s problems has been his distance from the tribe to look for the hidden immunity idol. Yul thinks that while Penner is in a bad spot to start the game, he thinks that Jonathan will be able to rebound and form a solid alliance within his tribe. Yul said that he and Jonathan have discussed some of the mistakes made by Penner in his earlier seasons and feels like Penner will be able to correct the early mistakes here.

Yul thought that former “Facts of Life” star, Lisa Whelchel, was struggling to get her game going on the right foot as well. Her only saving grace might be that Mike Skupin is actually a huge fan of the “The Facts of Life”. It also turns out that Yul is a big fan of “The Facts of Life” but not as much as he is a fan of Ann B. Davis from “The Brady Bunch”.

In the Matsing tribe, Yul did not think Russell Swan got off to a very good start either. Russell tried to deny being the leader of the group but his leadership tendencies were just way too strong to overcome. Meanwhile, Zane Knight’s plan to tell the tribe to vote him off ended up backfiring when they took him up on their offer. Yul believed that Zane telling the tribe that Russell Swan may have the idol could have been a nail in his coffin. Rob felt that it was way too early for the tribe to lose a strong physical threat like Russell Swan from the game.

Yul also had positive things to say about Malcolm Freberg, but Yul wondered if he may too be cocky. Yul also made note several times of what a good looking Survivor Malcolm is in the game. Later, Yul answered a number of questions from the listeners of Rob Has a Podcast about both Survivor Philippines and Yul’s own experience in Survivor Cook Islands. Yul discussed under what circumstances he would want to play Survivor again, the proper etiquette for playing Survivor with a Celebrity and who would do better on Survivor between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.

Finally, Rob is joined by Nicole Cesternino to discuss the potential showmance between Abi-Maria Gomes and Pete Yurkowski, why RC Saint-Amour is so giggly and the news of Lisa Whelchel’s recent divorce.

Zane Knight became the first player voted out of the Matsing Tribe on Survivor Philippines

On the premiere of Survivor Philippines, Zane Knight became the first person voted out of the Matsing tribe. Zane called in to speak with Rob Cesternino about his very brief Survivor adventure.

Rob asked Zane about how much Russell Hantz was an influence on his game in the Philippines. Zane said that Russell Hantz was definitely an influence on how he played and said that he had no regrets about his strategy this season. Zane said that he wanted to do something so memorable that he wouldn’t be forgotten.

Rob inquired about Zane’s strategy to tell the tribe to vote him out after the immunity challenge. Rob asked if it was something that was ploy to stay in the game or if the tribe or if the tribe didn’t really want him out in the first place. Zane said that it was a total backfire and he wasn’t on the chopping block before that speech.

Discussing Zane’s game, Rob agreed that it was probably too early in the game for Matsing to vote out Russell Swan because of his athletic ability. Without Russell Swan, the Matsing tribe risked being severely outgunned by the other tribes in the immunity challenges. Plus, it hurt Zane to have told Malcolm and Russell that he had already made alliances with everybody on the tribe.

Asking about some of the other players, Rob said that he was very impressed through one night with Malcolm Freberg and Zane agrees that Malcolm is really good at the game. Rob also had high praise for Denise Stapley and Zane said that she is also very good at the game and difficult to read. Zane also claimed that Angie Layton is better at the game than people are giving her credit for.

Finally, Rob asked Zane about sharing a Survivor hometown with Jonny Fairplay since the two are both from Danville, VA. Zane said that he is not a fan of Jonny Fairplay and actually met him one time with his entourage in Danville. Zane says that the people of Danville are fully supporting him as their Survivor and not Jonny Fairplay. Rob asks if maybe there could be a Zane vs. Fairplay in the works and Zane said that he would be up for it.

LIVE on Tuesday, Sept 18th at 12 pm ET / 9 am PT… there’s only one day to go until the Big Brother 14 Finale and the Survivor Philippines premiere. We will discuss the Big Brother Final 3 one last time and get all the latest information as to whether Dan Gheesling, Ian Terry or Danielle Murphree will be crowned the winner of Big Brother. Plus we’ll discuss the Survivor Phillipines cast one more time and will be joined by Survivor Jonny Fairplay to discuss the new season and his squad in Rob Has a Fantasy Football League II.

[robhasanintern]

During Thursday night’s wild eviction ceremony where Dan Gheesling double crossed Danielle Murphree once again. We’ll recap all of the action from Sunday night’s episode and see just how much of a backlash there will be for Dan Going forward in the game. Plus, we’ll discuss round one of the final HOH battle between Dan Gheesling, Danielle Murphree and Ian Terry.

Rob Cesternino starts off the discussion by reviewing the new information that we learned in the Sunday night telecast including the conversation that Dan had with Danielle immediately after the live eviction. Rob says that he actually feels better about Dan’s chances after seeing that conversation. Danielle hinted that she might have to backstab Dan to pay him back for all the times he has crossed her this season but Rob didn’t actually buy that.

Rob also discussed his confidence in Dan’s game because Dan has proven time and time again that he is able to pull out a miracle whenever he wants and Rob feels like Dan is about to pull off one of the finest jury performances in the history of Reality TV. Many of the viewers feel as though Dan has painted himself in a corner but Rob will not be surprised to be discussing how Dan Gheesling won Big Brother 14 on Wednesday night.

[robhasanintern]

Seth MacFarlane got to sing for once as he hosted SNL’s season premiere.

Rob Cesternino was joined by SNL expert, Rich Tackenberg from TheRich-Fix.com to discuss this week’s season premiere of Saturday Night Live. The first SNL host of the season was Family Guy creator and director of “Ted”, Seth MacFarlane.

The new season featured a number of changes to the cast of “Saturday Night Live”. Gone are Kristen Wiig, Andy Sandberg and Abby Elliot. The show also changed cast members who will impersonate President Obama. Fred Armisen is out as the Impersonator in Chief, replaced by Jay Pharoah.

Rob and Rich discussed the shows first sketch which featured Pharoah as Obama for the first time. While the guys preferred Pharoah’s impersonation to Armisen’s, they both feel like SNL has never quite gotten Barack Obama right as a comic character. On the other hand, Jason Sudeikis picked up right where he left off in terms of being on point as Mitt Romney.

As a whole, both Rob and Rich felt like Seth MacFarlane was under-utilized by the show. Rob thought that writing for a show like Family Guy, there would be no shortage of outrageous sketches for Seth MacFarlane to appear in, but he seemed to have very little to do in the first half of the show.

Youtube star, Psy, made an appearance in a sketch. Plus, Bill Heder did a terrific job as Clint Eastwood. Another highlight was the Puppet master sketch in which Heder played a former retired soldier who had a memorable incident in Grenada with a flame thrower. MacFarlane also got a chance to shine during weekend update when he got to impersonate Olympic Swimmer Ryan Lochte talking about all of the new shows for the fall season.

However, there were a couple of lowlights, including Fred Armisen’s return as the insensitive talk show producer, some political attack ads against Mitt Romney and way too much time spent making fun of Steve Harvey’s suits.

Plus, Rob and Rich reveal their bet on whether Dan Gheesling will win Big Brother.

[robhasanintern]

All season long, Chelsea Gheesling has been watching her husband Dan compete on Big Brother 14. On a date that she got to send him a message in the Big Brother house, Chelsea joins Rob Cesternino to discuss her thoughts on Dan’s game on Big Brother 14.

Rob opened the show by discussing Dan’s true intention during the double eviction on Thursday night. There was a great deal of Speculation on Thursday as to whether Dan was putting Ian Terry on the block as a pawn or if Ian was Dan’s true target for eviction. Rob said that he felt like Dan was targeting Ian and Sunday night’s show confirmed this. The trouble came when after Dan tried to evict Ian and Ian won the veto, Danielle told Dan she didn’t want to go with Dan’s next target, Shane. Dan let out the fact we wanted Ian out to the other voters and this could come back to burn him.

Eventually, Chelsea came on the show on what was a very busy night for her. Chelsea talked about her experience of watching Dan play the game on the live feeds. Chelsea has been very happy with the game that Dan is playing so far this summer even going back to the night of the draft. Chelsea said that Dan went along with the strategy he created before he even went to play in the house.

Chelsea didn’t have an issue with the promises that Dan broke to Frank because she said that Dan only swore on the Bible about what he was telling Frank about the quack pack and didn’t swear on the Bible for the final two with Frank. Chelsea also said that she’s not bothered if players like Mike Boogie don’t want to have a relationship with Dan outside of the house.

Chelsea shared the story of how Dan proposed to her as well. Next week Chelsea and Dan will be reunited when she comes out to LA for the finale of Big Brother 14.

Rob closed out the show with BB Live Feed updates from Brian Lynch and Matt Forsythe about the veto competition and what it means for the eviction.

[robhasanintern]

Time to Will it up with Mike Boogie

This season on Big Brother, Mike Boogie Malin came back to the house to play as a coach. Boogie was very happy in the coaches role with number one draft pick Frank Eudy at his side. Then, everything changed when the reset button was pushed sending Boogie back into the game as a player. Though Mike would come together with Dan Gheesling, Britney Haynes, Shane and Danielle to form the silent six and evict Janelle Pierzina from the house, Mike would soon follow her out the door.

Two weeks after his eviction, Boogie joins Rob Cesternino to talk about his game and what has happened since. Rob asked Mike about his decision not to want to come back into the game as a player. Mike said that wasn’t something that he was interested in and thinks he had a great chance as a coach.

Rob spoke with Mike about Frank’s eviction from the house this week and Mike said he felt bad for Frank for how it all went down. While Mike said that he thought it was a brilliant way for Dan to get off the block, he wishes that it wouldn’t have played out that way for Frank. Boogie suspected that Dan was going to have a lot of trouble with the jury because Boogie says that Frank will not vote for Dan to win the game as a jury member.

Boogie also gave credit for the move he pulled to get Mike Boogie out of the house but also thinks that Ian has shown a bit of a mean streak the last couple of weeks. Boogie thought that Ian also had a great shot to be America’s fan favorite this year but thinks that ship may have sailed.

Comparing Will Kirby to Dan as to which is the greatest Big Brother player, Boogie sides with Dr. Will saying that Will was able to do everything he did by never winning a competition or a veto while Dan has won more challenges. While some would argue that would make Dan the superior player, this could be a Larry Bird or Magic Johnson type argument for years to come.

Finally, Mike Boogie revealed which player he would like to see win the game this season and tells us whether or not he will watch the rest of the season.

It’s double eviction time in the Big Brother house once again and that means anything can happen. No matter who goes home tonight, Rob Cesternino will be LIVE on Thursday, 9/6 at 10:15 pm ET to get your reactions to the show. We’ll break down the final 5 players of Big Brother 14 and try to get a feel on the new landscape in the house and who the new favorite to win the game may be when the dust settles tonight.

On the double eviction episode, the show started in a pretty straight forward manner. The house completed the blindside of Frank by a vote of 3-1. Frank Eudy left the house never revealing that Dan Gheesling sold out the quack pack to Frank. However, when Dan won HOH he ended up putting up Ian Terry and Joe Arvinon the block. It was unclear if Dan was trying to vote Ian out or not but it was all moot once Ian won the veto.

After taking himself off the block, Dan ended up putting Danielle on the block, which was a shock to everybody. However the house voted 3-0 to keep Danielle in the house.

The question that Rob tries to get to the bottom of is if Dan got closer or further away from winning the game tonight. Rob thinks that Dan may have a bit of a hole to climb out of considering he nominated two people that are still in the game out of the final six. It is unclear though whether or not Ian was originally Dan’s target this week. Now that Dan can’t play in the next HOH will Dan find himself nominated and will he be able to get Ian out of the game before he gets to the final 2.

Plus, don’t miss Rob’s interview with Mike Boogie on Friday.

Carter Williams (45.33) - Carter is a likeable guy according to Rob and Nicole and things could look up for him.  Could Carter be another Fabio?

Artis Silvester (1:07:54) - Rob and Nicole break down Artis and discuss his video with Dalton Rosswehre he talks about disliking “The specialist” and how he has cunning leadership. Rob and Nicole think this is a good person for Mike Skupin to work with.

Matsing Tribe discussions and predictions (1:30:18)

Malcolm Freberg (1:30:26) - Rob discusses how Malcolm could be the Tyson of the season.  Rob and Nicole both think that Malcom is cocky, but Rob thinks that he’s also partially joking around… as opposed to Pete who isn’t joking when he’s being cocky.

Zane Knight (1:33:56) - Rob discusses how Zane could be mistaken for a member of the Hantz family and Rob tells us that Zane hails from Jonny Fairplay’s hometown of Danville, Virginia.  Rob and Nicole discuss the odds of Malcolm Fredberg, Zane Knight, and Russell Swan coexisting despite their different personalities.

Angie Layton (1:40:22) - Rob discusses how Angie Layton, Miss Teen Utah, may or may not be another star from Utah.  Rob makes the point that there is a possibility that women go early in this season, but he’s certainly rooting for Angie to stay around for a long time.

Denise Stapley (1:45:03) – Rob and Nicole discuss if the motherly approach will work on Denise Stapley’s tribe if nobody needs a mother.  However, Rob believes her athleticism will help her greatly in the game… and Rob likes that she is a sex therapist.

With only 14 Days Left to go in the Big Brother house, it’s time to preview the home stretch of Big Brother. Plus, we’ll recap this week’s episode of Bachelor Pad featuring Night Ranger. Finally, Rob will get your reactions to the Survivor Preview Podcast.

[robhasanintern]

This Thursday night’s Big Brother episode ended with a cliffhanger of an HOH challenge. Sunday night’s show picked up with Ian Terry beating out Shane to become the new HOH. For Ian, he was forced to decide who to put up on the block between Jenn and Frank or Jenn and Joe. Meanwhile Dan Gheesling continued his agressive play this season and now backed out of the alliance he formed with Frank to restart the Quack Pack with Ian, Shane and Danielle.

Rob states on the show that Ian is being a bit naive by trusting Dan so much once again, though Ian doesn’t know the full degree to which Dan betrayed the Quack Pack last week. As for Dan, Rob is beginning to worry if Dan is playing too hard at this point and could find himself in a Russell Hantz scenario, where he makes it to the final two, but has upset too many people along the way. However, if anybody could pull it off, it would be Dan.

This week Pandora’s Box made another appearance. While it had no strategic outcome on the game, Rob thought that Ian’s christmas in the Pandora box room was hilarious as well as Santa Jessie rummaging through the house to throw out all of the junk food in the house.

Finally, Rob spokes with Matt Forsythe and Bill Methling about what transpired over the weekend with the Veto competition. With Matt, Rob also discussed how we are expecting the veto to be used on Monday.

Rob wrapped up the show to start getting ready for the Survivor: Philippines preview cast later that night. Rob says that the preview show will be up on the website on Tuesday. Have a Happy Labor Day everybody!

Five Questions for Britney Haynes from Big Brother 14

This week Britney Haynes was the latest person to be sent out of the Big Brother house.  Before going off to the jury house, Britney was able to answer five questions that we sent in to her.  Here are our Five questions for Britney:

#1)  In your two seasons, you had two very rough exits from the house. Which one was the more difficult way to go out of the game?

Britney:  Season 12 was way more difficult. It seemed way more personal coming from those guys. Dan is on his game 24 hours a day and I knew that.

#2)  How upset were you not to receive Shane’s vote this week?

Britney: I know I didn’t get Shane’s vote – it’s frustrating but I couldn’t expect him to vote out his cuddle buddy. Who would sit in the bathroom and watch him Nair his chest.

#3)  How much did you feel like the events that happened this week came down to you being targeted by Dan vs. you just being collateral damage in Dan’s plan to escape from the block?

Britney: I think it’s a mix of both of those. Obviously, Dan is going to do whatever he has to do to get off the block. And at the same time, he wanted to get rid of me sooner than later b/c he was threatened by my loyalty to Ian, so it made sense for him to throw me under the bus.

#4)  In hindsight, do you regret voting out Janelle when you did and siding with the Silent Six and eventually the Quack Pack?

Britney: If there was any move that I do look back and wonder what could have been, it is voting out Janelle. I knew she was a force to be reckoned with eventually, but so was Frank. I am not sure if I totally regret it, but it is something that I think about.

#5) Did you give your allies any advice before leaving the game?

Britney:  I did. I told Ian to look out for Danielle, and I told Danielle to get rid of Dan.
