Big Brutha Luva

Ep. 21 Aug 11 Under the Covers...

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 14:35:00 GMT

Ok, so Angie's gone and Jessie's gone (insert weird brrrrrrph sound Jessie makes with his mouth). Unitard Michelle wins HOH to avenge the oust of her "a man" Jessie. Somehow Memphis squeeked by this week.

Babe and Mimi talk about the Olympics and China's incredible opening ceremonies. Wow, they have sure raised the bar. How can any future venue possibly top THAT?? Babe cries during swimming events. SistahSpeak podcast puts out one of their best episodes yet. Go Subscribe, you'll love it!

Ep. 20 July 24

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 14:19:00 GMT

Babe and Mimi are back for the 2nd episode of the BB10 season. Two HGs are out and 11 to go. Too SHORT a season!! Keesha sits in the HoH holding her own after not being able to mount an effort to keep Steven in the game. Brian pretty much played one of the worst BB moves...ever. We're not big fans of Jesse but, only after recording this episode, saw that Keesha nominated him and Angie. Let's hope Angie doesn't go. Poor thing's been holding on by her fingernails since she said "hello" to Brian. Sheesh, give the girl a break! Angie's not the one that's gonna annoy the pi** out of everybody for the rest of the summer. There's better gameplay moves to be had than voting out Angie this week.

Forgive all of the strange noises coming out of Babe. I still don't know what they were...

Lotsa luv went out to the brutha luvas this week. Keep in touch guys. You know how to reach us and say Hey!

Ep. 19 July 13 ...First Episode of BB10

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 03:00:00 GMT

Big Brother 10 is here and it's goooood! We loved the first episode and recorded the podcast during the commercials. So, it's a quicky and done on the fly. We'll give proper shout outs to our podcasting and blog buddies next time!

Looks like we're going to have a promising summer of Big Brother fun! We're looking forward to it.

Hmmmmmm. we forgot to do our Winner predictions. Mimi's going with Keesha.

Mashup by DJTopCat ...Young Folks in Rehab.

See yuz next week.

And.....We've Got Houseguests!!!

Tue, 8 Jul 2008 14:55:00 GMT

They're here! Big Brother 10 is awwwwwn (to quote Monica, BB2). First impressions are that this is a very age-diverse group. considering Zach was a senior HG at 30, these guys are all near the 30 mark more than the 20 range. not that there's anything wrong with that....

Nobody knows each other. Nobody is an ex or a long lost sibling or has a twin hiding behind the storage room. No Chill Town bubbas or estranged family members. Ahhhhhh!!!! back to the good ole days of Big Brother. Let's hope for a great summer with no America Player gimmicks or producer finger-breaking or strong-arming influence to carry out a pre-designed storyline.

Let's hope for our favorite podcasts to come back (i.e. big brutha luva, sistah speak to name two!)

And last but not least, let's hope that the brutha luvas send emails or comments to babe and mimi so we can read them on our show!

We missed you guys and look forward to having some fun with y'alls.

New Houseguests to be Announced Tuesday July 8

Sat, 5 Jul 2008 18:37:00 GMT

Word has it over at Dumbscreen that the new HGs will be announced on The Early Show on Tuesday morning, July 8! Woo Hoo! The tour of the BB10 house will on Friday. Here we gooooooo......!

BB10 is Right Around the Corner...

Tue, 1 Jul 2008 19:31:00 GMT

Rumor has it that cbs is announcing the BB10 Houseguests on July 9. We will be closely looking at these guys. If there's even a whiff of the crap they put up for BB9, I'm afraid for the future of big brutha luva.

Stay tuned for a great season... fingers crossed, holding breath.

Add Dumbscreento your Big Brother bookmarks for this summer!

Ep.18 May 15 Survivor Finale! ..and American Idol (yaaaaaawn)

Thu, 15 May 2008 13:32:00 GMT

The Survivor Finale put the pizazz back in this show. What a fantastic season. We may even get it on netflix or buy it or something, this season was THAT good!

American Idol is a snoozer but we still watch it. Final 2 are the Davids. yeah.

Short episode cuz we didn't want to miss AI. (go figger, after we say how boring it is!)

Hey Luvas, send us a shout via email, comments, myspace.com/babeandmimi... xo

I had to come back to add... Fantasia's performance on Idol was OUT OF CONTROL! Fantastic! The only ounce of blood pumping thru veins on that stage ALL season. Thank you Fantasia.

Survivor Finale!!

Mon, 12 May 2008 12:49:00 GMT

Wow! We LOVED the Survivor Fans vs. Favs Finale! This may have been one of the, if not THE, best season of Survivor yet! The finale was fantastic. What up w/ Parvati and Natalie..???? And who in the heck dressed beautiful Ozzy in that red giant v-neck tshirt?? He looked way better on the island! Go Cirie. We were hoping she'd hook up some of that extra ca$h. James won it and that's good for us cuz he is one rock solid hink o'hunk o'man! (Geez, I sound like a horn dog!);-)

Can't wait to record our next episode to talk about this finale and also BB Australia. There have been a couple evictions in the last week to catch up on.

Stay tuned.

Ep.17 May 5 ..BB9 USA, BB Australia and other stuff

Mon, 5 May 2008 16:21:00 GMT

Babe and Mimi have popped in for a post-BB9 episode. We didn't want to talk trash about other folks' show so we waited until it was over... It's not too bad. BB"9", aka Scabs, seems to be the most forgettable BB yet
anyways. Mimi has been turned on to Big Brother Australia, which started last week of April, and it's fantastic! It has the fun and enthusiasm we used to see from our beloved Big Brother....before BBUSA got mean and ugly.

Sorry, we talk about a poop story. I thought, later, after uploading the episode, that I shoulda cut it out but oh well. It was traumatic for all and memorable.

I don't know where Babe and Mimi are going with the podcast for the next couple months but maybe we'll just come on and talk about our favorite shows (there's lots coming up to yap about). I'd like to have a BBAU segment cuz its a great show.

Thanks to all of our Luvas that contacted us over this hiatus: Dumblonde, Jenn from North Carolina, Sistah J, Sistah K, Tony Chen, Pheretic, Jay, and my niece Jessi (congrats on the bun in the oven Jess!).

Props out to my favorite board: dumbscreen.com and to our lady friends at Sistahs En Review podcast.

Did They Drop Off the Face of the Earth..???

Thu, 13 Mar 2008 04:02:00 GMT

Hey guys! Oh m'gosh, have we become one of the podcasts that I can't stand...when they stop recording and just never bother to update their site and let me, I mean, folks, know where they went, whuzzup, are they coming back etc etc etc.??

Well, this is what happened.... we hate BB9. No, hate is strong word and one we don't "prefer" to use. We watched the very first episode, peeked once or twice during American Idol commercials and never went back. I was torn whether to put a podcast episode out and diss the show and give our opinions and what not but decided not to cuz I know alot of you guys are watching it and enjoying it. We don't want to tinkle on anybody's party.

There were a few problems with the winter edition of BB9. One of the big ones is timing. Summer is perfect to kick back and spend inordinate amounts of time following our houseguests via boards, live feeds, 3 shows/week, podcasts, HouseCalls, and recently BBAD. Its just a very different time of year during the school year. Kids in school, I'm in school and getting my ass kicked by projects etc etc. I'm singing to the choir cuz you guys know what I mean. Besides all that, its actually a really good tv season, LOST, AI, Survivor. I'm digging on Dexter now thats its on network tv. Too much good tv to catch yet still too much homework to crank out!

The other issue with BB9 is the....lap dance thing we saw on video (thanks DumbScreen!). It pushed us over that edge where you don't come back.

You know what I'm feeling right now...? I'm feeling a podcast episode coming on! :-)
The more I flap my trap the more I miss you guys.

Thx to everybody that sent us messages and comments Tony Chen! Snancy! Jenn! DB! My niece Jessi!

Babe is booked this weekend but I'll see what we can toss together and say hi to y'alls. We won't give up on y'alls cuz you guys haven't given up on us. I love you guys, man! lol mimi

Ep.16 Feb 16..Against My Better Judgement

Sun, 17 Feb 2008 13:15:00 GMT

Big Brother 9 is here. In February?? Well, Babe and Mimi
are back and ready to talk about this supposed season of "Big Brother". What in world have they done to us this time..?

Good thing there's other stuff to talk about, Survivor, American Idol, Lost, porn, (huh?).

Well, we missed all of our listeners and hope that a few of ya's are around to throw us some feedback and say hi. We all may have to suffer through this "season" of "Big Brother" but maybe we can meet here and talk about other stuff too.

Glad to be back!

Oh yeah...
Check out Dumblonde's new board at dumblonde dot com!

BB9 is in the House!

Sat, 16 Feb 2008 00:53:00 GMT

We're gonna watch Friday Night Lights tonight and record our first BB9 episode tomorrow. It'll be posted up by Sunday!

Not too sure what to make of this casting. Young, squeeky skinned, sparkly toothed, sex within only a week in the house... Are they getting bonus $$ for doing that??
Whaaa.....?

We'll break it down and talk about it. Shouldn't be called BB9 though. BB Special Winter Edition is more like it. Don't taint my Big Brother...

Hi...

Tue, 29 Jan 2008 18:03:00 GMT

...anybody there?

big brutha 9 is coming....

Thu, 3 Jan 2008 12:36:00 GMT

feb 12.

we hope to post a big brutha luva episode right after they post the HGs pix.

are you guys into this feb edition of bb? i'm not so sure yet but i'll def be onboard. ...until i see the man behind the curtain. cbs, just keep your curtain closed and let the entertainment unfold. those hgs can do a fine job all on their own devices.

The Brown Tank Top

Fri, 30 Nov 2007 22:36:00 GMT

Here the tank top. I didn't know how to get two pix in one post. duh.

-edit-
jan 1 update: shirts came in. Emails sent, to those that ordered, with shipping info. thx guys! ...babe wore hers all day today. i love mine!

older update: The order was (finally) put in and shirts should be in in a week or two. Will keep those that ordered updated on delivery. Thx guys! This was just an experiment and maybe as BB9 gets going we'll put another order in.

Big Brutha Luva T Shirts

Fri, 30 Nov 2007 22:19:00 GMT

I'm on a never-ending quest to get Babe to sign on to do the BB9 Big Brutha Luva podcast! I've decided to start showering her with gifts and compliments so I'm getting her a cool t shirt.

She designed the black with light blue lettering on the short sleeve v-neck tee. I liked the brown tank with yellow lettering. Hot!

$23 for the tank and $25 for the tee, plus shipping.
Sizes: S,M,L,XL. (XXL is 2 bucks more).

Email me at to lemme know if you want one. I'll submit the order on the night of Wed Dec 5.

BB9 Feb 2008

Fri, 9 Nov 2007 20:58:00 GMT

It's (sort of) official. BB9 coming first week of February. Now, they had to go and mess with my LOST life...

We hope to use the same iTunes feed so that there won't be any glitches. âfamous last words.

BB9 Coming in January 2008????

Fri, 9 Nov 2007 16:27:00 GMT

Well now, these writers are on strike and the word on the street is that CBS is scrambling to assemble a January version of Big Brother. Now, is this a *real* BB or one of those *special* seasons kinda like Family Edition Amazing Race or those other (group) Biggest Loser shows they put on? Even though BB never came soon enough for me, (Iâve complained that July was too late in the summer to start), but January??

Iâll have a talk w/ Babe about putting out a January edition of BB9 Big Brutha Luva. We will likely still bring BB9 Big Brutha Luva if, it does indeed launch. We may not though if itâs something completely embarrassing like Celebrity BB or if something about the production smells stinky. We miss you guys and look forward to shaking it all up again. Stay tunedâ -mimi

Hey weâre active over at our MySpace page. Come see us there.

Babe and Mimi are Baaaack!

Mon, 24 Sep 2007 17:52:00 GMT

After a week or two off, Babe and Mimi are back in the saddle with our next podcast, called Babe & Mimi's The Biggest Loser podcast. We'll be divulging a bit more about ourselves and hope that you guys join us and tell us about yourselves too. This new podcast is about gettin' it together to feel the best about ourselves and to get ready for that looming, impending holiday season. Oh yeah, and we talk about the NBC show The Biggest Loser, which is a kick-butt time. Watch as those Losers transform their lives and go to space they never thought they could attain. Cool stuff! We'll be spinning some mashups too so come check out the music, us talk about the Losers and our own journeys to newfound health. ...C'mon now! www.babeandmimi.com

The Final Episode 15...She da Pimp, He da Ho'

Wed, 19 Sep 2007 03:52:00 GMT

How can it all be over?? All the hate, all the luvin', all the tears and flamin' on the boards? What a summer it was. Will not soon be forgotten that's for sure.

This is our final episode and we really had a good time doing it. Again, we can't thank all you Luvas out there. we liked the finale and were surprised by some of those jury votes. Eric got off easy as "A"P. (Think he's got some 'splainin' to do...? Trust is the basis of all (good) relationships...)

Dick wasn't quite sure what to think about "A"P. he chuckled about it but after it absorbs he may feel differently. Ah well, he can ponder it all on his way to the bank and in 1st class on his way to Europe.

Keep us in mind for next season. You can still catch us at our Biggest Loser podcast at www.babeandmimi.com. Now that BB8 is over, we can actually switch gears and kick an episode out asap!

Take it easy Luvas!

mimi and babe

Episode 14 Sept 15 ... Aye Yay Yay!!

Sun, 16 Sep 2007 11:50:00 GMT

Our preseason predictions...were terrible! However, Babe's premonition of America's Player came true and Mimi had singled out Danielle as one to watch out for. Pretty laughable who we thought the hook ups were going to be (Nick and Amber????)

LOTS of props this episode to you Brutha Luvas! THANK YOU you guys for supporting the show and loving and hating the season as much as we did. Let's all hope we end up back at BB9 together. Speaking of, Babe and Mimi make their nominations of which Brutha Luvas should be in the BB9 house. hehe

I'll come back and finish writing this after coffee...

"The Board" and "The Smoke Monster"

Sat, 15 Sep 2007 21:44:00 GMT

We've referred all season to "The Board". So, as promised, here it is. It was very helpful in our discussions and breakdowns of what had happened in the Big Brother house. Who woulda thunk Dick and Danielle would've been sitting on the top of that heap??

I had printed a whole bunch of sheets of pix of the group of HGs and today I cut the very last picture I had for Danielle. Good thing she didn't win HOH this week!

Also in the pic is The Smoke Monster, aka "art". If you look at it long enough, your past will be revealed and unfolded before you (a la LOST). hehe

Episode 13 Sept 10 - Damn Those Donatos!

Mon, 10 Sep 2007 11:46:00 GMT

Danielle always pulls it off when the Donatos need that extra boost to carry on. Off to the Final 3 with them!

A little chat about Alice in Wonderland and hookin' up a hookah. The Zach Attack, bye Jameka, and veggie loaf. Did Mimi actually say she want to see what Eric, I mean, the Philadelphia Lawyer, can do in an All Stars?? We didn't get an answer about the Blue Ball Controversy...(figures). Babe draws parallels between Firefly and BB.

Thx for the feedback this week to GeorgeCTV, Tony Chen, and Dumblonde. We did 3 takes (??!!) of this episode and forgot to include your Listener Feedback by the 3rd try. Sorry guys!

Hey, we only have 1 episode left before our Finale episode. PLEASE send us some feedback, as we wrap it up, so we can see what y'all have to say about the season and even about Big Brutha Luva. We luv you guys!!!

Episode 12 Sep 4 - Advantage: Donato

Tue, 4 Sep 2007 18:02:00 GMT

Jessica has got to be kicking herself to pieces for wasting her HOH last week. Now she's on the block and very likely heading to sequester. It's been topsy-turvy flippity-floppy in there this week so who knows what will happen??

Dick/Danielle get props for their Good Cop/Bad Cop strategy. Nice moves by them, as usual. They will probably solely compete with Eric for HOH
on Thursday.

Mimi talks about the LOST-esqueness of one of the BB comps and how the LOST fans went nuts with the clues...which amounted to nothing, nada. Only five months til LOST folks...

Shout to the boyz Rob and Trevor over at rffradio.com for their great Kail interview, and to our new friends Sistahs En Review podcast.

Catch Babe and Mimi's The Biggest Loser Podcast at babeandmimi.com or on iTunes.

Episode 11 Aug 26 - Awwwww Jen!

Sun, 26 Aug 2007 15:27:00 GMT

Whew! The slaughter is finally over! She's out of her misery. We love Jen and miss her and can't wait to see her in All Stars in a few years. Her breakdown was long overdue.

Jess is HOH and the only move for her lock on a slot in the F2 is to backdoor Danielle. Otherwise, Dani is going to ultimately sink her first. Does Jess have the cajones to do it?? Jen's parting words don't sit right with her.

Eric is showing some real weenie colors. How can CBS actually give this kid $$ after he's earned a paycheck from them...

Only 3 weeks left of BB8. Double evictions coming up. Boring week but the dub-evix will liven it up.

Babe and Mimi will talk about their post-BB podcast in next weeks ep. Stay tuned.

Sorry, the Big Brutha Luva hosting company, Libsyn, was down for a whole day last week but is stable now.

Episode 10 Aug 19 - Dynasty Donato

Sun, 19 Aug 2007 23:44:00 GMT

Dustin gets a giggle about being put on the block next to Dick. ...still giggling in the jury house, Roi Dustin? The Donato Duo survive the week intact and even top it off with an HOH win.

Is it a rumor that Jen found an America's Player envelope in the Diary Room and Big Brother has made a deal with her to keep it quiet...? Our listeners point out that we don't give enough airtime to the other HGs that talk gross trash, as Dick isn't the only one. Point taken.

Alert. LOST reference: Diary Room Influence on the HGs=The Smoke Monster (Mimi turns a blind eye to them both).

Is Jen getting backdoored this week? Enough of the backdoor already. Got any other tricks...

Episode 09 Aug 9 ...and They Almost Ate Their Own

Fri, 10 Aug 2007 01:05:00 GMT

Ever see the The Battle at Kruger on youtube? Looks like the Big Brother herd of water buffalo did indeed come back for their young and save it from the hungry pride of lions. We recorded this episode before Kail was evicted and wow are we surprised Eric is still in the house. What a week this one'll be!

Will there be any repercussions against Amber for her, um, "opinions"? Kail, Jen and Danielle are three tough cookies, hanging upside down for almost 2 hours for the HOH. The subsequent, intense POV should have been an HOH and made everybody sacrifice something to show how bad they wanted it.

We got lots of Brutha Luva feedback about our episode 8 where we expressed our feelings and opinions on Dick's behavior and CBS' responsibilities and their choice to turn a blind eye. We'd like to thank Crystal from Philly, BigBruthaLuvainGeorgia, DD from Toronto, Sistah K, and John Mmmmmmmmm! Heather, babe, we'll catch yours next ep ok?

Ok, we squeeked this episode out but will really be gone for a week now. (I know, we keep saying that...).

Episode 08 Aug 6 - My TV Shame is Back.

Mon, 6 Aug 2007 17:20:00 GMT

Reminder: This is an Explicit Episode.

Babe finds that her TV shame is back. The grrrls can't hold their tongues anymore about Dick's behavior but also give some props for some of his game play. As much as they liked him early on, they find his intense verbal assaults "Jerry Springer Show-ish". Youâll be surprised to find who they hold accountable for the demise of their beloved Big Brother and who they think is throwing it into The Stink. This is an intense discussion where they try to show both sides of the Dick fence and how itâs splintering the BB community.

Many thanks to the brutha luva listeners that sent feedback which contributed to this epâs dialogue about the direction of the show this summer: GeorgeCTV, Dumblonde, Crystal from Philly, DD from Toronto, and Kimibe. We got a doozie today from bigbruthaluvaingeorgia but itâll have to wait til next episodeâ

Episode 07 July 31 ...Paranoia Permeates

Wed, 1 Aug 2007 00:38:00 GMT

Alot of action since the moment Mike walked out of the house last week (...which the girls barely even mention). Jameka used the POV to save Jen, the guys all went ape-sh** on her, the entire house supported Dustin's decision to backdoor Nick but none will stand up that they knew. Mohawk-enraged Nick is coming unscrewed. The girls still don't know how to deal with Dick. Would a dual POV be a cool idea?

Episode 06 July 21 Joe's Out ...Dick's In

Mon, 23 Jul 2007 02:36:00 GMT

What a kick! Jen doesn't succeed in getting Dick out of the house and he turns around and wins HOH. Guess who he puts up? This isn't Rocket Science, people. But then who wins POV..... Jen throws some of the hardest pitches in the history of Big Brother. Good stuff.

Some Mrs. Robinson Alliance. The boys set Kail out to sea alone in a rowboat to be picked up by none other than "Evel" Dick ..his spelling, not ours.. Is Kail going to walk the plank this week?

Joe, we'll miss you. You were fun. Thx for making us pull out medical dictionaries and research the CDC website.

O Canada! We got more Listener feedback from Up North.

Episode 05 July 14 ...and the JENeral is in Command....

bb82007@gmail.com — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 00:14:00 GMT

Carol's gone. Dick's come undone (holy crap, get the guy a muzzle).

Jen accidentally wins HOH. (holy crap, hand out the straight jackets).

An interesting week is in store for BB8.

Episode 04 July 8 ...and The Beds Are Occupied!

bb82007@gmail.com — Mon, 9 Jul 2007 12:51:00 GMT

BB8 is on the air and online! The grrrls run down
what happened on the first show and what they think of The "Twist" ?????, the sequester of 3, certain HG's bodies, and Joe's unique contribution to the Big Brother community. What in the hey hey is The Clap anyways?

Oh, and Nick, his eyes, his bod, his pink fingernails, his gigantasaurus shoulders, and....his hot tub ...it's not even a confession, more of a flippant off-the-cuff... comment. Fantastic stuff!

And the Despicable Award goes to... you decide.

Episode 03 July 1 ...And We've Got Houseguests!

bb82007@gmail.com — Mon, 2 Jul 2007 03:59:00 GMT

The girls give a rundown on what we've got by way of Houseguests, via a picture list and a very silly Early Show clip. Seems Kail and Dick rise to the top of interest. Why is that?? The girls reminisce about BB1, Nicole and Janelle. The girls love canadians, but of course, do not wish to play hockey against them. Should Pirate Master 'mateys or some hot So You Think You Can Dancers be in the house instead? Because.... it seems that the producers forgot to include sex appeal.

Thx to Rebecca for her Listener Feedback and a big Hello goes out to the Big Brother Elite!

Hmmmm... Jameka won our pre-season poll as to who was going to win BB8, taking 14% of the vote. Mike was runner-up with 12%. Is this some support for Mimi's theory that Jameka and Mike are going to hook up in the house...? And go to the Final 2 together too no less? We'll see.

Episode 02 June 19 - WHERE is BB8??!!

bb82007@gmail.com — Tue, 19 Jun 2007 19:22:00 GMT

The girrrls are struggling through June with IQ-tapping television and wonder where the heck BB8 is, already! It's speculated that you can, indeed, play BB and maintain character and integrity. In anticipation of a "High School Bully" Twist, Mimi tells a scary story about the Revenge of the Flag Twirlers. And, can we really still harbor residual pain and resentment from high school?!

Congrats to MortysTV who won our first poll as 57% of our listeners get their BB fix via MortysTV fan forums! Our friends at Joker's were a close runner up. Peace out.

Do like the distinguished "First Friend of the Big Brutha Luva podcast", Ms. DumBlonde, and leave us feedback We'll include it in our next episode.

Episode 01 June 2 - The Ultimate BB Winner's Theory

bb82007@gmail.com — Mon, 4 Jun 2007 01:38:00 GMT

We are stoked for the July 5th launch of Big Brother 8 USA!!

We talk about Maggie's je ne sais quoi, BBUK, the international phenom of Big Brother, potential twists for this season (is one considered somewhat of a torture chamber??) and The Ultimate Theory on How to Win Big Brother (hint: it involves manipulation of the opposite sex...), a must-listen for the potential Houseguests.

!! We encourage our Brutha Luvas to leave feedback via comments, Email, or voicemail !! ..."C'Mon Now"!
