'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Late Night/Overnight Into Saturday 8/12


Good morning fellow Big Brother Hamster-Watchers! It's a gorgeous day here in the East. I can't help but wonder what kind of day is in store for our favorite and not-so-favorite houseguests, can you?

A few things before I dive into the report --
Congratulations on going for the two-week free trial of the feeds, Blog Reader Penny! You said in comments that you're only getting advertisements. Here's an easy way to kick-start to the right address for the cams - go to this Jokers Updates page - it's their technical advice board. Across the top are hyperlinks for the cameras at varying bandwiths. Also, if you refresh the page, they have lots of tech tips. Make sure you're logged into your Real account when you try to access the feeds.

An anonymous commenter gave me one of the best lines ever. "In his sleep, James dreams of being Will." Perfect! I love it!

Many comments are tying the Coup d'Etat in with the Prom King or Queen. I'm a bit fuzzy on both concepts as it's not something I see on the feeds. But I don't think they have anything to do with each other. The Coup d'Etat is strictly the houseguests following clues in the house while the Prom King or Queen is more along the lines of an America's Choice thing with the viewers involved.

Since the houseguests do shout-outs, so can I. Nyah! Here's a shout-out to Deidre Woollard covering Big Brother recaps over at TV Squad! You rock!

Okay, onto the late night and overnight events in the Big Brother House of Hapless Hamsters, Big Boys and One Buxom Blonde:
  • Will thinks Marcellas is a bitter and angry person - he expected to be a "star." [Editor's note: Y'think? All I know is that he's really changed a lot since his season. When he pouted in his season, he was actually entertaining. Now? He just comes across as nasty and vindictive. Sigh.]
  • Erika told Marcellas that she doesn't know what to believe when James talks. James told her that Danielle is the target, but she thinks she is.
  • Marcellas told Erika he thinks she (Erika) is the target. [Editor's note: I believe the target is Danielle because she's the more dangerous of the two to Janelle, but both are threats.]
  • Janelle has gained weight (according to Marcellas and Erika) while in the house. Erika, already thin, has lost weight.
  • Marcellas told Erika that he's scared that Janelle would backdoor him if he won and used the POV.
  • Marcellas has bought into the James Act. He thinks that James wants Danielle out because she put him (James) on the block last week. [Editor's note: Marcellas! You and Janelle! Wake up! His acting isn't that good... open your eyes! He tells lies! He's in cahoots with Danielle! Argh!]
  • BB confirmed the dead fly wasn't a clue after the HG talked about it for hours.
  • Erika thinks Janelle isn't a smart player, but "makes good TV."
  • When Erika told Howie the comps were "mean" this year, he told her it was a battle between Good and Evil. She then asked, "Who's good?" A nagging question indeed.
  • Danielle wondered if the clue had anything to do with the Friendsheep from last season - a nickname for Maggie and Company. [Editor's note: So... she hasn't got the Coup d'Etat? I dunno.]
  • Chicken George talked about his wife and family. He met her when he was 17 years-old and married her a year later.
  • The Legion of Doom still exists even though they fell on their faces in the POV Comp. At least, Danielle still believes in them.
  • The shomance is heating up between Erika and Mike Boogie. They flirted and kissed in the hot tub. Now, is it more than a shomance? Is it a pre-season romance? Hmmm... Will tells us it is, but can he be believed?
  • The HG don't know how POV will work with Janelle unable to compete. Will she be able to draw a player? They'll find out sometime today.
  • Janelle thinks that information leaked to Danielle is coming from Chill Town when it's really James. [Editor's note: Have I asked Janelle to WAKE UP lately?]
  • Erika and Mike smooched and spooned in the Red Room. Ohhh!
  • Will worked his ways more with Janelle. Dang, she's so gullible this season.

And that's where we are. Stay tuned!

Zoetawny - What can I say... Awesome...

Now... I guess this smooching between Erika and Mike means Erika will stay, cause Mike will want to keep her in the house for their showmance. I hope this is a viable prediction, cause I really would love to see Danielle leave the BB house of brotherly love!

Will Marcellas have his job back when he leaves, since he's been so nasty with his comments about the BB show in general?

I agree with you Jackie (see) that the Coup d 'etat and the Prom King and Queen have nothing to do with each other. Coup d 'etat you have to earn,... Prom King and Queen is being voted for by America's choice. meb

Mikes mom confirmed that he and erika had a pre show alliance.

I think Janelle is stupid when it comes to Will. Is it strategy or is she just stupid? Chilltown should have been put up a LONG time ago! I think Janelle is one of the smartest players(that's why I'm surprised about Will). She wins so manay HOH and Veto comps. BUT I don't think she should have put up Erika, just for the fact that she won than lost HOH. None of it seemed fair, but it would have been nice to show her the courtesy of not putting her up. I hope George makes it far, because he seems like a really nice Guy. Will should be gone because he already WON! Don't they think about that???????????????? Whatever! I'm annoyed that Kaysar is gone! But I still look forward to reading your blog Jackie....thanks!!!

I don't get why Marci is concerned he'll be put up if he wins the POV and uses it. I thought the POV winner was immune from being nominated in place of the vetoed nomination. Someone help...I feel more confused than normal!

ryzandshyn, I also had a hard time with the most likely to die alone question. I really didn't want to answer it; I wouldn't wish that on anyone, not even on those mean people in my own life that I've developed a dislike for over the years.

Janelle knows how to play the game, but her weakness is good looking dark haired men who say pretty things to her. Remember Mike, Kaysar's roommate? I think the Prom voting is about the only way to give the hgs a message. Who we like, who we don't trust, etc. Thank you Jackie, Sue

oops, its working now
sorry

PS Love the blogs, they helped me last season and they continue to do it this season :)ron, Canada

I was also very shocked to see that question as well too. I have people in there that I really don't care for but I think whoever gets nomanited for that question is really going to be hurt.
I know that would be a horrible feeling for anyone.

Anonymous said...

What if Will & Boogie get into an alliance with George,Howie, Janelle, and Erika? I think that would be a good alliance. Then kick James, Dani, Marci out! I think Chill Town plans on keeping Erika and Janelle around or they would not be worried about the showmance. I want to see Will and Janelle make out just because! Does Big Brother cut out any of the love scenes? Because I have not seen any kissing between anyone.

HEY JACKIE JUST A THOUGHT HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT BEING ON THE BIG BROTHER SHOW YOURSELF I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU IN ACTION ON THE SHOW.

Anonymous said...

Since so many are still complaining about the HOH replay....Has no one noticed that they all seemed to have problems with the buzzers from the very beginning of that competition. Don't you think if you were in that position you would have been disconcerted with trying to listen to and answer questions correctly while trying to get your machine or buzzer to operate quickly and efficiently when you pressed on it? I would feel the same way had any of the players won with the defective equipment. I wish I had taped that segment so that I could test my memory!!

Anonymous said...

Are Will and Boogie friends outside of the show? They seem to have a tight alliance to only be friends on the show?

Anonymous said...

Don't know if this has been mentioned....but, what if we all voted Janelle most gullible. (I am assuming that the houseguests will see the results of this poll). That might make her light bulb go off. Because she knows that we see what she cannot. I think she would figure out that James and Will are using her. Gull a bull. But I love her anyway.

Hey Ya Jackie

first of I love your Blog

I check it all the time, since I'm not able to check the live feeds I rely on your site, Love your insight on the HGs and I view them the same as you.

Keep up the good work

I sure hope that Janelle gets the boot soon! Use to like her but I cannot tolerate a stupid person. I would like to see either Geo or WIll win. Out of all of them I think Will is playing the best.

Anonymous said...

I am going to make some guesses.
Unlike Season 6, I think this season there are more alliances than the obvious and of course,things are more complicated and there is more lying than say last season. They are seasoned Veterans of the game.
It makes me feel badly for Kaysar, Howie and Janie as last year, the Nerd Herd Alliance and the Sovereign Alliance were obvious, everyone knew. This year, there are many secret alliances. I am not sure Season 6 expected this after the Lines were Clearly Drawn of Who was with Whom..last season.

Anonymous said...

Yes, I tend to think that this season there are more secrets beyond game strategy and more alliances than the obvious Season 6, Float Herd, and Chilltown. I will just throw out a few...

I do think Erika is with Boogie after the feeds last night and what Will said that he was producing the show, not the producers and they kept their romance a secret. Alone with just Boogie, Erika was saying they cannot have their own room because it is a TV show not THEIR apartment. Ummm..depends if they are acting for the fans and playing a game with Us.

I think Danielle and James are part of the LOD but actually they are an Alliance of their own...as CT will throw those 2 under the bus for Erika and themselves.

I think the Only REAL floaters out there alone are Marcellus and Chicken George.

And of course, I think Janie and Howie are out there alone as I feel Season 6 was only Janie, Howie, and Kaysar and James was part of it but also in with Danielle and Diane. When alone, Will and Boogie never cease to call Janelle a B** and say they need to get rid of her.

I also think Dani is protecting Marci to a certain extent but not over James.

Does anyone else think that it's mighty suspicious that Will gets to play in all the veto competitions? I do. They're drawing names out of a bag, and you mean to tell me his name comes out all the time? The only time I can think of when he didn't play was in the really gross dump competition.

I think he's got a deal with the producers, especially after he said if he didn't get to play in today's POV, they'd better find a way to entertain him.

Anonymous said...

Regarding the Legion of Doom, there is a 20 minute segment posted on youtube where Will is with Howie and Janelle plotting their alliance and even trying to NAME it. Will is good, I have no idea whose side he is truly on anymore.

Is erika trying to trick Mike into revealing secret Chilltown info? God, I hope he isn't that stupid, but I sense he may be. I like Boogie but he reminds me of the nerdy kid who grew up to get chicks

Anonymous said...

You have a good point about Will playing in almost all the POV competitions. America did not pick him, the producers picked he and Boogie among a few others. From the feeds, it appears Boogie asked Will and Erika to be on BB and Will is doing it for Boogie. Will never seems all that happy about being there but he wants Boogie to win is what I think. So Will may have a deal with the producers that he has to be involved and what not, but then again, Will might just be obnoxious, whines, and acts like a brat. I am one of those who cannot stand CT and I think there were chances for Season 6 to get out CT. James dumped Season 6 because Janelle put up Diane but good grief, he could have put up CT ..both of them when he had the chance and told the othes, I have to do this.
I feel the biggest mistake made by all of them and Chilltown must love this, is they NEVER try to get out CT..but instead all the attention is focus on Season 6 and floaters to get rid of. If Boogie or Will wins or even Erika ( I think CT will throw Dani under the bus in favor or Erika if given the chance), I think other HG will regret not breaking up CT the first 2-3 weeks. They sure had their chances.

I am one of those who believe Will and Boogie, that Mike Boogie and Erika are living together and are getting engaged. They may have me fooled but last night, some things said..I am beginning to think Boogie and Erika are a couple outside the house and the most secret alliance of all.

No one really knows someone like their mother and Mike 's mother tends to think they are an alliance and just smiled...makes me think they are a couple.

If you see or read the feeds, some of the things between Boogie and Erika..they seem very familiar with each other and little of the Showmance quality of other BB houses..I could be wrong but they seem quite involved.

Thanks, Jackie, what would the rest of do without you and your insights. I really enjoy your blogs. Thanks a million. Lynn

Answers to some questions:

Is it suspicious that Will is always in the veto? No, not really because he was chosen a couple of times when it was "HG pick" Boogie picked him. Makes sense. Others picking him makes sense if they do NOT want the veto to change. They know he throws competitions, therefore giving them a better chance of winning it. REalistically, very few NON-nominees will take someone OFF the block. Too risky.

Should Will NOT win because he already won? I want the best player to win, I don't care if they did/did not win before. I don't see Will winning, but if he DOES win I think it ABSOLUTELY means he deserved it because he had a target on his block from the start. Also, people might be purposely keeping them because they know a jury won't give an a) already winner b) with a medical degreee ($$) who owns c) SEVERAL top A-list LA restaurants to win the game. COuld it backfire? Maybe, maybe not depending on how the jury views Will. Doesn't need money? Damn, he's a good player? when voting...Anyhow, I think it might be why he is still here for now.

Someone asked if Janie is pregnant. I am sure BB wouldn't let a PG woman in the house because of the physical challenges and poor eating required (slop would be horrible for a pregnant woman)


I agree that our "most likely" nominations will tip off good players to what is happening behind closed doors. If we vote JAmes as a snake, don't you think Will and Dani will have their little doggy ears go up!? Choose your winners carefully as it could bite them in the butt

Anonymous said...

I think Erika and Josh Souza broke up relatively recently, so I doubt her and Boogie dated.


I know Josh said he knew everyone n the house in an interview, so I am going to guess so did Erika. I cant' remember who Josh said she knew well. I would have to go re-read that article. Anyone know?


Keep in mind, this is all-stars. Alot of them are wanna-be actors in LA and run in similar "reality tv" circles. Afterall, Will is dating another reality alum in real life.

Anonymous said...

Who is Will dating? Anyone know?

Anonymous said...

Marcellas and Janelle just got in a huge fight- affirmed that they have an alliance to final 2. Saying they have to pretend to hate one another. Still Good friends and hug at the end and then Marc leaves and goes straight to Erika

Anonymous said...

to the above comment.... then marci ran down and basically told erika everything him and janelle said word for word.

Anonymous said...

A thought: Because of the meaning of the word, perhaps the Coup d'Etat winner will need a majority of houseguests' support in overthrowing HOH and her nominations...
(I totally don't think Dani has it yet...)

Tiffany in TN, Jackie blog fan for 2 seasons!! =)

Anonymous said...

I hadn't heard that Will was dating another reality alum in real life. I knew he had dated someone from his original BB house for a while, but she is now married and definitely not with him. Anyone know who it is?

Anonymous said...

The woman Will is dating is named Erin Brodie. She won "For Love or Money" and then went on to be in her own version of it. I think he met her on "Battle of the Network Reality Stars".

Rumor also has it that the producers didn't want Boogie. But Will only agreed to do All Stars if Boogie was there. Now, that I definitely believe. Boogie just wasn't All Stars material in Season 2.

Anonymous said...

I didn't know they are paid for doing this...I thought the only payout was for the final winner? Does anyone know what compensation they get exactly

Anonymous said...

Maybe ther is a way to get a message to what's left of S6 about James. Go to http://www.cbs.com/primetime/bigbrother7/
press "1" to vote for prom night superlatives, amd ,make sure you vote for James on all the negative ones--especially Who Will Die Alone! Maybe they will hear us!
Thanks Jackie! I'm so glad I found you! Pat

Anonymous said...

Did I miss something...where and when did Janelle say she was pregnant?????

Anonymous said...

Darn! Danielle won the Veto!
I wanted her out because I wanted to see what James would do without her. Bummer! Of course, with this Coup upcoming, hard to tell what will happen.

I figured Dani or Erika would win POV because Will and James said they would throw the POV so Erika or Dani could win it. As we know James can win POVS if he wants.
But Will and James do not want Danielle or Erika voted out. I think they are hoping one of those girls came off the block so Janelle would nominate George. I do not think Janie will put up Marci. Watch the house work Janie to put up Marci but she will put up George!

Hope George does not go if she puts him up. If Janie were smart, she would put up Boogie, instead.
As CT will do everyone in if given the chance.
Have you ever seen a season where HG throw so many POVs or HOH? Wow!

Jackie--I think I figured it out! I haven't seen if anyone else has posted this on here. I wanted to leave my name, but couldn't figure out how!! ha Every season, there is something new. The DNA, was the relative thing, then there was the girlfriend/boyfriend thing, etc... The clues will continue to have something to do with the previous seasons. Sooooooo, the answer to the clues will be: Expect the Unexpected! Also, I know everyone has different views on the comp. from the other night. What it comes down to is the machines malfunctioned, wheather it was Janelles, Danielles, Erica's or Howie's. The only fair way to handle it is to simply do the game over--just as they did. It must have been more than Howie's or they wouldn't have done it that way. It sucks, for those who love one side, but it's great for people who love Janelle like me! No reason for lawsuit, just the right to wish it had went the other way. Km

Hello All:

First, THANK YOU JACKIE!!!!
You are a rock star!

I know how to tell Janelle that James is a snake.

Everyone should vote Janelle "Most Gulliable"

Then she will put two and two together!!!

Anonymous said...

Maybe now since Erika and Boggie are together, Chilltown will turn on James and kick him out. Then he would be backdoored and get kicked out by LOD. Since Janey is all googoo eyed over Will, all he has to do is tell her what all James has done!

Anonymous said...

in case anyone was wondering dani won pov

Anonymous said...

If Dani has POV and saves herself, who will Janelle put up for eviction? Marci...possibly. George...I hope not. Surely not CT...would she?

Jackie, your blog is the best. Many thanks for all your hard work!

from what I've heard so fair it will either chicken man, marci, or on a slim chance mike

I think he just would get an 'advantage' in the hoh competition, thats what julie said

when does voting end for prom stuff? Will they find out those before veto ceremony? If not, Janelle may not "get the message" re: James. ~SharonS

I have to believe that Janelle is smarter than she seems right now. She has to be playing all of the little boys in the house and is just waiting for the right opportunity to let us all know!

THE REASON JANELLE IS GETTING BIG IS BECAUSE SHE CAME INTO THE BB HOUSE PREGNANT. THAT'S WHAT I HEARD ON THE RUMOR MILL. LET US SEE IF IT EVEN IS REVEALED!
THANKS JACKIE FOR UPDATES

ONce again, BB wouldn't let a pregnant person in the house. It is too risky with physical challenges, emotional stress, and poor eating (slop), so it is unlikey Janelle is pregnant..oh and going three months withou medical care surely wouldn't be healthy, eithe

Anonymous said...

Thank you Jackie for the information about the 24/7 feed. Got it working.

I am so tired of listening to James, Danielle, Erika, and Marcellas. They talk about how bad Janelle is, but have they listened to themselves? And, here is Danielle telling Janey that she (Danielle) is not that bad in real life, and people are the way they are because it's a game, yet, she goes behind her back and trashes her (Janey) all over again. It drives me nuts.

Is it personal? It's not suppose to be, when it goes your way. But when it doesn't, sure it's personal. When you think you're in charge, it's great, but when things go wrong, you feel like the world is against you.

Yes, Janey is being too gullible, but I do not think she's mean. Danielle, Erika, James, and Marcie are mean. Some of the stuff they say is horrible. They say they know what the fans want, they think they do, but they don't.

I didn't get home until after midnight and that's all they talked about. So far, I haven't heard anything really bad that Janelle and Howie have said about Danielle or James, but it sure isn't true for the opposite.

It's too bad that Danielle got the POV. It drives me nuts that she and her band of complainers think they're high on the hog. They are not nice. I know it's a game, and you play to win, you shouldn't vote for people because you don't like them, but that's really what they're doing. They all think they've got the other over the barrel.

Woogie are so conyving. People know they lie, yet they trust them and they go back and do the same again. It just makes me laugh. But, then I get so mad that Danielle takes out her bible and then goes right back and becomes the hypocrite. It's just mean, mean, mean. They talk about not wanting them (S6)to dictate who leaves, yet, they're doing the same thing. I wish Janey and Howie would get smart and wisen up to James and crew. Are they that stupid?

I still think the Coup phrase is right in front of their noses. It's suppose to be expect the unexpected, so I think it might be on those lines. I don't think Danielle has gotten it right yet. I don't think anyone has.

I don't want to see Howie and Janey leave, but if it goes as it is now, they will be leaving within a week or two. James, Danielle and Chilltown are snakes. If they don't start playing for themselves, they won't be playing at all.

Is ANYONE out there not fully believing George's aw shucks routines? I do believe that he's a simpleton and yes, cooks, cleans, and says he is touched by things all the time (to an emberassing point in my opinion) but I think he PLAYS it UP much more and it
s transparent to me... but everyone else seems to be buying it. Need to hear from a few people if you think this too, please!
