'Big Brother 7: All-Stars' - Season Premiere


I think we're going to have a very interesting season in the Big Brother House. Of course, you would think that a few houseguests might want to think before scheming, but...!

Tonight's show began will Julie Chen gathering the Top Twenty contestants (announced on June 21). Similar to the nominations, she had a round podium with keys (or similar implements of entry). She announced she would draw the keys of the top four women voted by America and then the top four men, in no particular order. So, we don't know the top vote-getters themselves.

The top four women were Janelle, Erika, Nakomis, and Diane. They ran gleefully into the house and selected the room with the bed for four. Now, remember, Erika and Alison despise each other. Nakomis said she feels she's with a bunch of girly-girls. (I think compared to Nakomis, I'm a girly-girl and I'm so not a girly-girl!) I can't help but wonder how this rooming situation is going to play out. I doubt they'll be roommates for long together.

Then Julie named the top four men voted by America (or those who voted, anyway). Howie, Kaysar, James, and Jase headed into the house. Jase is plenty worried -- he's surrounded by BB6 houseguests! Can he con his way through the crowd? Is he as smart as he tells us he is? With Howie, it was all about "All-Star Boobies." Same old Howie, the ever-adolescent Jedi warrior.

Meanwhile, the rest of the twenty were looking very nervous. Cowboy was about to cry. Even the Evil Doctor Will looked worried. Then Julie announced six more were going in, not four more... for a total of fourteen houseguests. These were apparently the choice of the producers, as well as an attempt to have every season represented. The order in which she announced the six was: Will, Danielle, Marcellas, Alison, Mike, and George.

Once the houseguests were all gathered in the rather oddly decorated new house (huge bugs on walls, flames on another wall), beneath all the hugging and congratulating, the scheming started. Will and Mike teamed up, discussing how the BB6 players had to go. Will especially seems to not like Kaysar. Mike seemed to be the more mellow of the two, saying they had to play it cool. Everyone except the BB6 folks seem to be very worried about the sizable alliance they could very likely present.

With the HOH (Head of House) competition, Julie announced a new twist. There would be two winners sharing the HOH room. The winners had to agree on two nominations for eviction. If they didn't agree, they themselves would be put up on the block for eviction. The comp itself had half of the houseguests standing on a pedestal on a revolving round platform. The yard was done with stars all about and the other houseguests had to aim a 50-pound "meteor" suspended on a rope at them. Right away, it was obvious who was targeting whom -- not only to the viewers, but to the houseguests themselves.

Jase won the first round and when the groups rotated, Janelle won the second round. So, they're HOH. Danielle then did something that, as I watched, I thought was doomed to backfire. In thinking she was all that and such a superb schemer, she went about campaigning for Janelle and Jase to disagree on the noms, go up for eviction and then kind of backdoor (in a way) Janelle. She told George and Alison the plan. Alison went on to push it, but to also place some mistrust in Danielle herself, while George basically just laughed and said this is a totally different game than he played.

In the end, Janelle just got mad at both Danielle and Alison and Jase didn't want to take the chance of being booted. Janelle and Jase agreed on the nominations -- Danielle and Alison. Heh. I'd love to see Alison evicted, I really would. But I think Danielle may have put her own bad self out of the house by jumping into the scheming so soon. Oh, and Will better get off his high horse. I liked him in Season 2, but he's more full of himself now than he was then.

The live feeds should kick in at midnight (ET) tonight after the West Coast show. This could be very interesting, eh?

Diane was responsible for Erika's eviction.

Good to see you made it! :-)

D'oh! I don't know where my mind was... I meant Alison and Erika despise each other, not Diane and Erika! I fixed it in the entry. Ack.

It IS on and right away,my girl,Danielle,has put her foot in her big mouth!! I so wanted to see her play the game again,but did she have to shoot herself right out of the gate?? I,like you,Jackie,would LOVE to have them throw Alison out,she's the same old she ever was,but I think Dani has done her bad self in. Glad to see Marcellas made it in and am only disappointed that Nakomis(a FAN Favorite???)is in and Will/Booger are together again! Cannot stand the two of them,and I do disagree with you that Booger is the cool one,he's the instigator,and then goads Will to do the dirty deeds,cause he doesn't have any better sense. Booger has it in for Kaysar,for what reason,I do not know,but that puts HIM on MY bad side!! It's nice to see the BB6 group and I'm not even that upset that James is there. I like Erika and if Diane being there is a problem,then she can go,as far as I am concerned. I fear George is going to go fast too,cause the "cool" group doesn't "dig" him much!And,Thank God,we only had to see Cowboy threaten to cry this one time,instead of the whole time while he told us how much he needed to win the money "for his family"!!!

I love this show. I have a whole assessment of last night's episode on my blog. It's pro-BB6 players-no apologies. Danielle's going Tuesday. Alison has like nine lives. Remember her season?
