For what many considered a slow start this season, it sure has been a rollicking past few days, huh? I'm talking more specifically for the folks who watch the live feeds or those who follow them here and on other sites. It's hard to believe so much has happened in just three days - and we're talking only two full days! It's enough to make your head spin! Before I get into the full report of the overnight events, I just want to set a timeline of sorts because, if you blinked, you may have missed an important event.
Thursday night in the live show: George won HOH, had to immediately make nominations, chose James and Erika.
Thursday after the live show: James won POV and George put Howie on the block in his place.
Friday: Howie was evicted from the house and a new HOH Competition was won by Mike Boogie.
Saturday: Mike Boogie nominated Janelle and James. Janelle won POV.
Phew! Even if I don't like the turn of events or the houseguests winning or losing, I have to say it... it's interesting and I can't wait to see what happens next!
Here are the events of the late night and overnight period after Janelle won the POV in that Big Brother House of Wayward Boys and Girls:
- Danielle and Erika were in awe of Janelle's ability in competitions. Erika says she's not good with strategy, but her strength is in comps.
- James was screaming, yelling, fussing, moaning. He said that Janelle cheated in the POV competition. According to him, they were told "no physical contact" and he claims Janelle stole the Marcellas doll out of his hand and yelled "Give me that!" [Editor's note: I don't know if snatching the doll would constitute physical contact or not. It's contact with the doll, but not necessarily with James. It sounds like he should have had a better grip on it to me. Or, it's also possible that in the heat of the competition, things might not be as he thinks. Could they both have been reaching for the doll at the same time? He says he was reaching under her. Could she have seen him going for it and took it first? I don't know. The producers told him there is nothing on video that shows any rules broken.]
- Danielle and Erika talked about approaching Janelle to team up against Chill Town.
- Mike Boogie and Will seem to be absolutely fine with the Janelle win. They plan to vote out James.
- Janelle said to Mike: "Did you see me take that doll right out of his hands?" So, she must have. But would it constitute any sort of violation? [Editor's note: Again, my feeling is that it wouldn't be considered physical contact with James. He should have hung onto the doll if it was that important. If you're playing basketball, stealing the ball is part of the game. You have to be on guard and control the ball (doll). Physical contact is also disallowed in basketball, much like this BB comp.]
- George thinks he did the right thing by making sure Janelle stayed in the house.
- Danielle and Erika think George will go on the block and the vote will be to send James packing. They both think that George has teamed up with Janelle. (They're right.)
- Danielle thinks if the vote could be 2-2, Mike would have to do the dirty work and be the one to alienate jury votes. She thinks he'd vote out James.
- Will told Janelle he's just trying to make "Good TV." But he's very happy with her win.
- Will told Janelle that George will go up and they'll tell the "others" that he's leaving, but it's James who will go home - implying that Mike would break a tie and vote out James.
- James is still fusssing and throwing himself around on the bed, bending everyone's ear with how he's been wronged. Danielle, George and Erika took turns listening to him and letting him vent. He's repeating the same stuff again and again - complaining that Janelle wins everything, fussing about the Prom Queen vote, saying the game is rigged and Janelle is more important to them than he is, on and on. And on.
- At times James' voice breaks and it's evident that he's doing all he can to keep from crying. [Editor's note: As much as I think that whatever Janelle did in the POV will be considered within rules, I'd probably pout like James myself if it were me. I think he knows that the POV was something he had to win to stay in, so it was important he do so... and he didn't. Is his fate sealed?]
- Up in the HOH bathroom, Will and Mike were talking about voting James out this week... until James came to the door. Then they were agreeing with him what a "[bleepin'] ho" Janelle was and how James got screwed. When James went away, they both talked again about how he must go.
- George told Janelle that people (James?) were mad at him because he didn't backdoor her, but he's glad she's still in the house.
- Erika and Danielle push for a meeting with the producers to clear up the POV comp issues. Meanwhile, BB called the houseguests into the Diary Room one by one to discuss it. James wasn't in there even two minutes. [Editor's note: I can't help but think that his behavior over this might make him his own worst enemy in getting his point (if he has one) across.]
- Danielle is frazzled. She told George she's spent and just wishes she could go home. [Editor's note: Danielle's a toughie. She'll get her second wind, I'm sure. It's been a rough few days for all the houseguests... except maybe Woogie.]
- Janelle is a bit afraid to be near James - she knows he's viciously angry at her. Meanwhile, James claims he doesn't want to sleep in the same room with Janelle - probably a wise decision.
- Will regarding James: "When he doesn't get his way, he's like an angry four-year-old boy pumped up on PEZ."
- Will and Janelle talked about being friends after the show. He said he talked to Kaysar pre-season, but Janelle said it must have been a "loose agreement" to work with him. Will admitted it was.
- Will also said the Erika made a lot of pre-season agreements with people and has a hard time covering "everyone's back."
- Will and Janelle talked about how obvious the James/Danielle alliance is as well as James' bad acting abilities. [Editor's note: But... but... James said in the DR what a great acting job he was doing!]
That's where we stand as I post this report. It seems unlikely that the POV will be re-done. It doesn't seem that James has any case in his gripe or something would have been done about it by now. Janelle won the POV and James will just have to carry on and get working on securing votes to stay if he can.
Graphic by Zoetawny. Oh... and folks... once again - please be a bit gentle with each other in the comments. I love to read the opinions of others, but the topic should be the houseguests, nor the commenters! Also, this blog (right now) is about Big Brother, not about what we should be doing instead of watching the show, nor about various charities we could be supporting. I prefer all comments to remain, but I've had to remove trolling attempts and some squabbles. As for the trolling... if you don't like what's going on here on the blog, why are you spending so much time and attention here? Folks are here to discuss the show.

Hi Jackie,
At one point in the feeds I thought James said that Janelle said "Give it to me" (with regards to the doll). On could interpret that as her saying just let me win... not necesaarialy give me the doll. So perhaps I am grasping at straws here, lol, but I am glad that Janelle won.
What man's ego wouldn't be bruised to lose to a woman... especially one he despises.
For those who don't have the live feeds you missed some good action as evidenced by Jackies detailed blog... I for one was until almost 5am est, what a wild, crazy and FASCINATING nite it was!
Patricia
Jackie,
Is James going to really be voted out?
What happend to the Legend of Doom, they should trust James more than Jani?
So is James defiently going or will the house be shocked by a CG eviction?
Wow that's quite a bit to swallow...but I must say after following the behavior and rude comments that James has displayed makes me almost embarrassed to admit I am a BB fan. He actually called Janie a "whore" several times... which has nothing to do with winning the POV or playing the game....Danielle and Erika are mad that Janie is Americas choice, well they all made her the underdog by all ganging up on her and who doesn't like to root for the underdog! These people are just down right cruel and nasty.
Janelle is one lucky broad. Any time she needs something to go her way, it does. James on the other hand is such a sore loser and he needs to pack his bags and leave. He is one of the most miserable person that I have seen. I don't like Jani either so hopefully she will be gone next.
Keep up the good work Jackie. You rock.
What happend to the Legend of Doom?
The past few days in the BB House have been an emotional roller coaster and I don't think I would have been able to watch the live feeds and not be totally exhausted.
Once again, thank you Jackie for all your hard work. Your updates and comments, along with Zoetawny's graphics, make this THE place to go for BB7 information. I applaud you for always taking the high ground with the trolls and trying to maintain a respectful site. I have checked out other blogs/sites but yours is the one I go to for the most accurate information and interesting comments. I hope someday the house guests will discover your site and let you know how they feel - I'm sure they will agree that you are the best.
Thanks for the update. I am glad you are trying to get bloggers focused. I have notice their topics have been a little off.
I sure hope nothing changes in re the POV comp.. Go Janelle! Way to bounce back and into the game. This game is amazing how the events and status of the players change so quickly. Its not over until its over. I miss Howie though. Its so quiet around the house and there isn't alot of comic relief. I guess why its so hard is it happened sooooo fast. All of a sudden he was gone. No warning.
I don't like James. I know he is a snake and has been unloyal to Janelle. But I now kind of feel for him. I was impressed with his empathy he was showing for Janelle yesterday. Little did he know what was coming.
CG is cool. I am sooo glad he was fair to Janelle.
WOW -- We were out last night and so I just got caught up on the blog and comments - Again -- WOW!! How many compterd for the POV? I am really sick of someone on the block always winning. (Although every single time it happens I think back to Marcellas in his season committing without a doubt the dumbest moves ever in winning POV and not taking himself off the block -- and then being chagrined he got voted out!!)
I don't know how they are going to handle all this tonight. Where we left off is Erika and James up for nomination. Since then......
Poor CG -- the shortest HOH -- but I'm glad he is still in the game at this stage.
Can't wait to see who goes on the block in place of Janelle. Any idea when that happens?
As always -- thanks Jackie -- you rock.
Anon @ 11:49 - At the moment, the whole house concensus is to vote James out - including Danielle and Erika. Of course, this season anything can change in a minute, say nothing about four days. We'll see.
Anon @ 11:51 - The same thing could be said about James winning POV almost everytime he "needed it" last season.
Anon @ 11:53 wanted to know what happened to the Legion of Doom. Um, well... maybe it was doomed to its fate?
Lucy - Thanks! :-)
For James
I guess you reap what you sow applies to you. Hope he's gone next.
To Sarah,
Run while you can. This guy is one big cry-baby. You deserve better.
Im just disapointed at these people who hate James. I can not understand this hatred towards a good player. I just hope dani tries to keep James in the house. If it was not for James then you could have kissed Dani good bye. Jackie, let me know what you think, is danielle really going to vote out James?
Jackie,
I didn't even know what a blog was until I came upon yours last year and totally enjoyed your way of telling what the full scoop happened to be. Your insight adds so much to the game. Thanks for helping me understand just what the heck is going on. I'm 70 years old and can use all the help I can get. YOU'RE THE BEST!!
Good grief...its really only been
2 ½ days! It seem like I've been missing the shows!
I told someone that I ususally don't like reading these because I like being surprised on the shows, but there is soooooo much that would be missed by not reading your blog!
I have to admit, that Janelle sure can win the comps! And someone needs to put James over their knee and paddle his spoiled little butt!
H♥lly
Anon @ 12:08 - Danielle seems to know that James' days are numbered. She's talked of voting for him to stay, but they ALL feel that if there is a tie (which would be the case if Danielle and Erika vote for him to stay), Mike will vote him out in the tiebreaker. I think Danielle might be ready to move onto Plan B - whatever that may be, but it wouldn't be dependent on James.
Rags - The format for the blog is fantastic as it can be easily updated and provides a forum which grows to a community over the season. Thank you! :-)
Jackie,
You Rock! What would we do without this blog? Your write ups are insightful and thoughtful. It has added a whole new dimension to the game for me. Thanx for all your hardwork! God Bless!
BBLover in Cali
Do you wonder why James doesn't win America's Choice more often? he was always so bitter about Kaysar winning it all the time...
jk
come on ameen,
Everyone has such a blind eye to Jani that they automatically hate James. It will be such a farce if Jani or Will or Boogie wins. Go Dani! and James
OMG!! I was James fan last year and up until now this year, but he's WAAAAAYYYYY to emotional. He is a good player and a good strategest, he just needs to keep his emotions in check. Sometimes I think he's got the male version of PMS permanently! :)
I think Janelle was good last year, but she's too gulible this year. I think she wants to be popular with the other HGs and isn't spending enough time seeing what's right under her nose.
Erica, just gross. Needs to go!
Danielle is also a good player and strategist, but she's too full of herself this time around. She would have done better to find a "secret" friend in the early weeks (maybe CG?) and played the same game she did in her season.
Mike Boogie - I've seen people refer to him as Booger and I agree. I hope the vote is a tie and he has to pick sides and show his colors. I'd like to see Will cut him loose. Will doesn't need him at this point!
Will is undeniably the best manipulative player in the history of reality shows. While I don't agree with his tactics, I am in awe of how he can sway people. He could have a very lucrative career in politics. Will for President?
Chicken George is my favorite. I usually go for the underdog and this year is no different. I hope he can make it to the final two and the jury realizes that he played the game honestly and ethically. I'm not sure where the whole Howie nomination came from, but we're all allowed to make a mistake or two...
These are just my thoughts...
Keep up the great work Jackie!
To Anon 12:08 are you kidding me? People hate James because he lies to the people who trust him and mostly because he bad mouths people and calls them names. No matter how mad he was about the POV, why did he have to over and over and over call Janelle a whore? This was his friend. I think she will be crushed when she sees what he did to her and mostly what he said about her.
Yes, James is quite vulgar . I heard him say some things yesterday that were just disgusting. It was to will and Mike and I think even they were disgusted. Imagine that.
Anon 12:00 said "Where we left off is Erika and James up for nomination. Since then......"
Did I miss something? I haven't read any of the other feeds yet this morning - Jackie's blog is ALWAYS first!! I'm on the west coast and since it's just a bit after 9 AM here, I figured all the HG's would still be sleeping since the POV comp was so late last night.
If this is true, YAHOO!!! I was afraid they would put Chicken George up. As fickle as that house is, I'd worry then that even tho everyone is saying James is the one to go, tht the vote would change and George would end up taking the walk.
Jackie, as everyone else has said, you are amazing!! Thanks for all do. And I love they gentle way you have of reminding everyone what this blog is really for!
Thanks!!
~Elaine
Thank-You Jackie, You are Awesome! I finally had a good nights sleep I'm happy for Janelle - I couldn't bear the thought of her feeling as if she was all alone - Here's a classic case when the term applies only when certain players are the target or things are going their way..
" It's only a game " - " it is what it is " what happened to Erica and Dani James most famous over-used comments? If it don't apply, let it fly..
I can't figure out what there is to like about James. He's moody, a poor sport, sulks, throws temper tantrums like a child, has an extremely bad attitude towards women,...well you get he idea.
And he takes this whole thing WAY too seriously. It seems like some people in the house actually feel afraid of him at times.
Uh!
SusanB
SusanB (and many others) - I think you hit on a main reason James tends to turn a lot of folks off. To me, anyone who resorts to calling anyone by slurs (whether sexist, racist, religion, etc.) when they're angry about something which has nothing to do with the epithats invoked... it makes me not care to have the person around whether in the house or in my own life.
Kevin - Yes, I've noticed you posting. I can tell you're a big fan of the show! :-)
Elaine - The 12:00 comment was referring to where the show left off, not the feeds. The POV ceremony should be tomorrow and Janelle is sure to save himself. I personally think the replacement will be George or Erika, but until it happens... who knows? Of course, a great showdown would be Danielle and James on the block. I think that the player others should worry about would be Danielle. She's much better at the game than James. I don't think that is going to happen, though. Not at this time, anyway.
YOU ROCK !!! James kills me. I hope he gets to see DR confessions of how Wooger played him like a fiddle, as Kaysar saw. But I guess that won't happen since he will be going to sequester. (Darn) I am so upset, I am moving the week of 9/13-9-22, and won't have service at either place, please tell me this blog will be achived. It's my only lifeline!!
From Beach to Dust(So.CA-TX)
Jackie Ihav ea question for you since Boogie is HOH and has the special power sure he doesnt want to over turn his nominations how does that work for him this is the third nomination since he won it right? or is it starting with the show we see tonight when howie leaves I am so confused lol.
Anyway thanks for updates you are one heck of a women to do this for all of us especially us on the west coast that can't wait to see what is happening
(((((Hugs)))))) Karen
I didn't really have a favorite to win this season..though a lot that I didn't want to win..one being James..moving on...
I am very happy for Janelle to win and the votes for me are going in her direction now... I am sick of people saying she is a dumb blonde, and james' comments about her only intesifies my wanting her to win this...let the underdog win then...she has proved herself in Comps for HOH and Pov..nothing handed to this gal (like another houseguest i know..dani).
James needs a HUGE time out...run Sarah..run, otherwise you might end up on the cover of Star for a domestic violence incident.
Beach to Dust - The blog will still exist. While BB live feeds and the show are zapping my energy for anything else lately, I blog about other shows year-round here. You're always welcome to drop by and chat a spell!
Karen - The Coup d'Etat is no more. It's possible from what's been said on the feeds that it was taken away from him for talking about it. But, no matter, with Mike as HOH the last chance to use it became moot.
Petals - I only likened it to stealing a basketball with the same sort of "no physical contact" rules we see in that game. It was some sort of houseguest doll thing where a question was asked and the players had to go get the doll who was the right answer.
Karen: I think BB took the CDT away from Mike because he talked about it when he wasn't supposed to. It really didn't make that much of a difference tho, since he had won the HOH so he still has the power to put up whomever he pleases now that Janie has won the POV when they have the ceremony and she removes herself from the block.
Jackie, this is so exciting... I've been elated, deflated and now elated again... I can hardly stand the suspense of it all. I'm also 70 years old (some other commenter referred to being 70) and these ups and downs could cause serious damage to us oldies. Wouldn't miss a minute of it... Keep up the good work... Zoetawny... again AWESOME! meb
WAY TO GO JANELLE!!! BYE BYE JAMESIE BOY!!! I HOPE YOU DONT CRY TO MUCH ON YOUR WAY OUT!! I AM SURE SARAH WILL BE WAITING FOR YOU TO CRY ON HER SHOULDERS!!!BECAUSE MARCI AND HOWIE WONT LIKE YOU IN THE SEQUESTER HOUSE!!I HOPE IT IS WILL AND JANELLE IN THE FINAL TWO!!!I love those two together...I think he truly cares for her as a friend.....I am sorry but I like WIll...he is definitely a playa.....
Jackie this is crazy!
James needs to stop, I was reading along last night, and good grief, he is a sore loser. Why do people dislike him? Let's see. He came into the house with a chip on his shoulder towards S6 and vowed revenge. When he didn't get his way he pitched a fit. He thinks he is in control. He still refuses to choose a side. Even if he did play this up for TV and let's face it, he's a really bad actor, I think there are parts of his personality that really do occur. James is the new Ivette!
Jackie, you rock, I came here first thing in the AM, and was here at 3 this morning. I'm not proud, but what else is on during the summer?
Thanks Jackie!
Carrie in TX
please dani and jani hook up
to anon @ 1:31
james is not the new ivette.
he is the new RUMPLESTILSKIN. you know the story, he stamps his feet and throws a tantrum until he finally sinks into the ground forever.
anyone know what's been going on this am? have the pov ceremony started yet?
Rosalee, yes James is Rumplestiltskin - ha ha to him.
Sissy
The only ones really up right now are Erika, Dani, and James. James is in a really foul mood and already making snide remarks about Janelle. Erika got upset when she heard from Dani that Will and Janelle stayed up until 5 AM talking. Chris in TX
Oh and the others are stirring but not quite doing much. Chris in TX
Anon @ 1:44 - You have to remember they tend to be late risers... most are still asleep.
James is still on his "Mommy (producers) always liked her better" kick, Erika and Danielle are basically chit-chatting.
The POV has not been redone and I doubt it will be at this point.
Sissy - Sorry I didn't catch your name before! I want to add that the POV Ceremony is usually on Monday (unless the days are all melting together in my mind, which is a distinct possibility). I don't think that will be today.
I'm sure someone will correct if I'm wrong. It's been a long few days and my mind is a bit muddled.
A little off topic, but it seems to me that CG got screwed out of having HOH for long...meaning he did get the bedroom and goodies that come with it as Mike did...i could be wrong..the last few days have been a flash with BB
In the beginning, I picked James as one of my top three....but geeeeeez. He is a completely different player than from last year. When he was down and out, I wanted him to win, but he is just the poor man's version of Will. What a cry baby! Now, I don't care who wins, just not James. Everyone else in there seem to be decent people, having fun with the game, except Janelle's struggles yesterday! Jackie, YOU ARE AWESOME AND THANKS.
It's getting good!
KC loves BB
that should say...didn't get the bedroom and goodies
Dani makes me sick. All she can ever give Janelle is "Shes a very lucky girl". I hope she goes soon.
Maybe with james in sequester, Marci can bitch slap him a bit out of his temper tantrums...unless Marci and James will sulk together
It's so funny because there are all these people still left in the house and James and Dani are focused only on Janelle. They're talking about if Janie doesn't leave this week who do they think she'll go after. James is talking about making sure when he's in the jury house that he'll make sure that Marcellas doesn't vote for her. Guess he sees working on Howie is a lost cause. James and Dani both agree that somehow Janie has lost 5 jury votes based on what I'm not sure. They truly do not like her at all which has been pretty obvious. James is calling Janie a liar and cheater. Dani says Janie is lucky and that Chicken George should've put her up. James talking about how she also cheated on Season 6 and complaining on the producers again stearing the show so that she's the favorite. Okay, I'll leave the pro updates to Jackie. Just found all of this strong hate for one person in the house (Janie) pretty strange. - Chris
Yeaaaa Janelle!! I wish I could jump up and down with you yelling some smart line about your victory. You are the only reason I watch. I HOPE James goes. He is so immature. He is such a whiner. His child-like tantrums are very telling about his character. I'm glad you've discovered his deceit. GO JANIE!!!
anon 1:58....Dani is just pissed that she can win things without HG's throwing the competition to her...she does need to go..and would love to see her up on the block to go soon. With James most likely out..worse case scenario will be Jani (if she doesnt win Hoh) and dani on the block, then Jani will have to win POV again...and hope that if enough people throw it thinking to save Dani, it will work in Janelle's favor.
Peace,
melissa
This might seem harsh but Mike did not follow the rules and told Will (and others?) of winning "special powers". Now it appears, he can no longer use those powers. I don't want to start another issue -but on Project Runway (Bravo - excellent show) one participant did not follow the rules and he was kicked off the show. I think Mike should have been kicked off too. (but I know..it all makes for good t.v.) - I'm thrilled for Janelle. Once again, she is a winner. That was Howie's problem. He couldn't win competitions. Again.. thanks Jackie
Chris - Commenters' personal insights into things are just as much a part of this blog as my own entries. Have you noticed that Danielle supports James to James and then supports getting rid of him to CT and Erika? I think Danielle has decided he's a lost cause and to further herself in the game, she will fall in with the house majority while not alienating James for his jury vote. Your thoughts?
Will tonights episode show Howie's elimination and a live eviction?
Will they then do another HOH?
Karen
I think BB is a bit different from project runway...(and i am not trying to be condescending). If they booted off Mike...while many would be happy, what really would there be left of Chill town, which apparently makes for good tv...Producers had to know that it was reasonable for the person to win it to blab...and what would have rocked is if Mike hadn't won HOH and BB announced it was taken away from him...he would have squirmed and that would have been good punishment. But since he won HOH, it really didn't matter that he had CDT
Jackie, I agree with you. Dani sees James as a lost cause. I just find it so amazing on how he thinks that Woogie has his back and wouldn't vote against him nor would Danielle. But then again, maybe Woogie is fooling me too and they really aren't in cahoots with Janie. It's all so confusing!! Thanks for all of your insights during the season and your blog! If Woogie is really in this alliance with Janie then the look on James' face when he gets evicted will be very interesting. - Chris
Karen - I think tonight's show will be the veto stuff from George's short HOH reign, Howie's taped eviction and the HOH which Mike won on Friday. Then the week should snap back into the norm Tuesday with the Mike Noms, Mike Reign POV and the final noms Tuesday, next voted out live on Thursday.
It's all confusing because so much has happened in the house since the last show.
James is up and still complaining about cheating blah blah blah. Has started his name calling again, has already called Howie a moron and Janelle a roach. He has been awake a very short time. Please people send him home! I hate him! How about a 2nd show in the sequester house? I sure would love to see that side of it!
All I can say is GOOOOOOOOOOO Jani
Chris - I think Danielle has her mindset totally into the game. She's in it to win. James was good for her while he was good for her, but if the house sentiment is against him staying, she's not going to hold onto him as it won't help HER in the game. Cutting him loose at this point would be a strategical move for her and, as she says, it's not personal.
I think she would have liked to go to the end with him, but if the house has changed tide - it's in her own best interest she has to be loyal, not to James. She's a shrewd player and is in it to win.
Is it true that Will and Boogie are in business together outside the house? Could their plan be at final 3, get Boogie to the final 2 and Will in the sequester house. Once there he can work his magic on getting those there to vote for Boogie to win. Boom they have $500k to invest in there next business deal? It would certainly clear them in the "split the money" breach of contract issue. just a thought.
One of the many "anon" Sues
Jani is smart enough to win the comps but she is so dumb when it comes to WILL THE MANIPULATOR. If she had half a brain she would be running with CG to Erika and Dani and get a new alliance going to get rid of the Woogies. THINK JANI. I think Dani and Erika are hip to this and realize their days are numbered too without some added support.
OUT WITH THOSE WOOGIES. I HATE THEM. BAD BAD MEN.
Thanks Jackie for the updates.Watc BB 3 times a week,but always read your blog at least twice a day.
So happy Jannelle won POV.& yes James is a cry baby.Bet he was one when he was a baby.Is he an only child?
Dannielle is a strong player i believe manipulative.If the HGs don"t realize they should be playing for themselves,then somethings crazy.
I hope they don"t put CG up after Jani takes herself off the block.
Think this is still anyones game.You just can"t tell what the HGs are gonna do.
Thanks again Jackie.
Tess from Maas.
anon 1:59. LMAO. That would be so funny to see! Has there ever been a fight in the jury house on BB?
"anon"-a-Sue - Yes, Mike and Will have a partnership in Mike's restaurants and more. That was known before they entered the house this season. According to rumor (very possibly true) BB contacted Will to do the show and he refused unless Mike (who really, really wanted to go on more than Will) was also brought in.
I have no idea why the splitting the money talk isn't being threatened with penalty noms. Of course, to listen to them, it sounds like they've offered to split it with everyone in the world inside and outside of the house!
Anon @ 2:35 said: OUT WITH THOSE WOOGIES. I HATE THEM. BAD BAD MEN.
Heehee! Thank you for making me laugh out loud - I could even read that one in the tone you intended! (Although I don't necessarily agree. I'm a bit of a Will fan, but that was hoot! Thank you!)
Yawn. Will is the best player. Censoring a blog because someone doesn't agree with it is unimaginative and small minded. Oh yeah, TV and sweets rule.
Hello to Jackie this rainy Sunday from New Hampshire... hang in there, you are fabulous as always!
Also a hello to CARRIE in TEXAS!! I am always in total agreement with everything you say each time you post!
Reading the blog has been a challenge lately with huge volume and all the various off-subject commentary and trash talk, but I enjoy Carrie in Texas, Susanb, Zoetawny, and several other regulars....and don't forget KEVIN in Worcester is always on the money!!
I love seeing Will interact with Janelle... would love to see them play the others to the end. Now that's Good TV.
Keep on truckin', Jackie! Smiles, Robin in Manchester
Hi Jackie,
Thanks for your blogs..I absolutely love them!! I wanted to know how did Howie react when George put him up, since they seemed close. I want Janelle to win!! I want whiney James out!!!

Anon @ 2:56 - If you're bored, you can go elsewhere. I will remove comments trashing other commenters and me. I don't go to your home to trash you and I have no clue why you feel the need to do that to me here. If you don't like me or what I do with the blog, there are other places you'd be happier frequenting. You obviously have an agenda, but you'll have to take your soapbox elsewhere. Thank you.
Let's keep talking about the show and the houseguests, huh?
Jackie - We'll be down to 6 HG after Thursday. The show ends Sept. 12. Won't we have to have another double eviction (or 2)?
jlc
Ivonne - Thanks! We were blocked when George actually put Howie up, but saw the aftermath. He took it horribly according to what the other HG said.
I'm so addicted to this website. I found Jackie last year and I read the blogs during the day. BB is one on my favorite "reality" shows. Love the twists and turns --- love the way the human minds works. My husband laughs at me when I talk to my neighbor about this stuff. He'll never understand. That's why this site is so wonderful.

OH i can't believe Janelle won POV!! i would love james to stay! i can't stand Janelle!ugggg
thanks Jackie, love the blog!
jlc - I think another double eviction week will have to be done, but I doubt two. I think they may cut down on the ending where there's the three then two HG. Cutting down that part would be okay for me - I find it sort of boring when there are only a few HG in the house. But I could be wrong. I have no inside info on the scheduling.
Thanks Jackie! I thought maybe 3 on finale also. Maybe pen noms...CG was reprimanded yesterday. He said he wanted to shake the house up....GREAT start!
GREAT SITE!

Jackie, I have followed you through this Big Brother saga from when you were doing this on AOL journals, and I must say that evon though I've never commented before, I truly admire what you do on here. Thank you for providing a couch potato like me a place to feel like I belong.
As for the show this season, I am in awe of how things have played out. I mean really....I'm speachless. Things move so fast that if you are only a "tv" watcher and not a live feeds/forums watcher you can really lose you place with this game. I will continue to stay tuned and thanks again.
Jess
Thanks Jackie - you are awesome!!!

JACKIE,
YOU SHOW A LOT OF CLASS. YOUR MAIN OBJECTIVE IS TO FOCUS ON THE SHOW NOT PERSONAL ATTACKS. I KNOW I COULDN'T KEEP MY COOL AS WELL AS YOU AND THEN SAY ON WITH THE SHOW NEWS. YOU REALLY DO ROCK!! IN CASE YOU SHOULD EVER WONDER, I HAVE CATARACS BUT CAN STILL READ EVERY WORD YOU WRITE AND ALL THE COMMENTS. THANKS FOR USING A LARGE FONT. I'M SURE I CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE WITH EYE PROBLEMS THAT APPRECIATE SOMETHING THAT CAN BE READ.
Hey Jackie,
Do you ever wonder if someof these blogs are from relatives of the HGs? Some of these comments are way over the top.
I don't know why we don't stop the show right now and give Will the money. He has set up eveything and everyone in this house to win. Even got Boogie believing he doesn't want the money and wants HIM to win (HAHA). He has gone about getting rid of everyone that he cannot control, he is getting ready to set up CG, Dani, Erika to go bye bye soon. He is only hoping for the final three to be Will, Jani and Boogie. That way he can let Jani and Boogie fight for it and still know that they will never let him go.
Smart, smart. He has set up so that the jury will be so mad at Jani and Boogie for ousting them, that he was just along for the ride. Ride to the money tree is the better word.
I can honestly say, in the all-stars he has out-starred and out-smarted all of them and they have no clue. It is simply unbelievable to me.
People early in the game, even James, thoughy Will was the biggest threat and no one voted him out. Very stupid. Guess the only one laughing to the bank again Will be Will.
Maybe they will have an all stars 2 and he can come back again with more stupid HG and make a career out of making people look stupid.
He would never have to work a day in his life, but he probably doesn't do that now. I'm sure he is too smart to have to work for a living.
Rags - If you have a mouse with a scroll wheel, you can enlarge fonts on most pages by holding down your CTRL key and scrolling the wheel. I figured even though you don't have a problem here, that may help you with other sites. And, thank you!
Rosalee - I don't know about here, but I think it has to be hard to know anyone on reality TV shows and then go to boards where folks are don't like your friend or relative. If I actually knew some of the houseguests, I myself may be gnashing at the bit to defend them. But these shows also get avid fans, too. I try to look at it as entertainment and the fact that if my favorites don't win, maybe my favorites on The Amazing Race or another show or next season will. As long as the show holds my interest, in the end... it doesn't personally affect me who the winner is. (Woogie isn't offering ME a cut of the half million!) ;-)
I think if Danielle was smart, after listening to James say how he is going to work the sequester house to make sure Janelle gets no votes in the end, she should go to Janelle and hook up with her. She should see that Janelle is the best person to be sitting next to at the end. This would be a good time for Danielle to talk to woogie about replacing Janelle with James in the LOD. Janelle can take out Erika and that saves face with them, one of them can take out CG and then they have final four. Danielle then tries to get to the final two with Janelle, and Danielle wins.
Maybe she is smart enough to figure that out, I hope so.
Sallie
Jackie, is thursday a live eviction?
thanks
If Janie is smart,she won't be buying anything Dani is offering. Janie has done just fine until now without Dani and I think Will will keep Janie over Dani at the end. Probably cause he thinks nobody will vote for Janie(I think that too) but just to show Dani that he(Will) rules the house,not her.
I hope James goes this Thursday and then my hope, that he starts trashing Janie in the jury house and Howie beats the tar out of him! Maybe even Marci will join in...LOL.
I have to give WILL props,he IS the master manipulater, and he probably will win........so,my hope and advice to CBS...no more All Stars.......at least not for a very,very long time.
Mommy Mommy I want a Janey doll! Cheers for fighting for season 6, I want Janey backing me up! Howie,the Janey is a hurricane knocking out every competition she can, I love that she cares so much for her team. Howie would have been loyal to Janey to the end. James didn't get his Howie doll, and doesn't deserve it, move on! I sure miss the beefcake! A BB fan from season 1, I luved Curt! akaworkmom
Jackie: You ARE the greatest. I followed your blog on BB6 and was so happy you are covering BB7. Your columns are not only informative, but witty, well-written and fun. You go, girl.
Jeanne in Illinois.
Jackie,
You don't know how much this blog means to so many!! And, Zoetawny -you're awesome!! Love your graphics!!
I don't even go to the boards anymore. I went there a few days ago and there's very little on it. You write blogs so well. The only board I go to is the Survivor board when it's on. Mostly because it's been around longer than the others and the same people have been going there forever. It's great they followed you to your blog, too. And, I'm sure it's because we all liked and respected you so much when you were the Survivor board moderator. Weren't you there since the first S1? That was the good old days when they had the old style boards we all liked so much! I don't know how you can possibly work and blog all of these shows. You're a superwoman!! Any part of you bionic? LOL
I have to share my computer with my daughter. So, I couldn't hear everything that was going on in the house last night. I kept on interrupting her so I could hear what's going on..
I only get to the computer late evening because after working during the day, I then go to the baseball park to work. It's my fun job. So, by the time I get home, all the good stuff has already happened. I missed the entire Howie thing. So, if it werren't for your blog, I'd be lost. I sure wish they had a live feed for Survivor!
I was listening to the feeds earlier and the talk made me laugh. They were talking about Janelle being after Erika. I said to myself "WHAT???" I looked back at the feed and I noticed James was sitting there, too. So, it's all show for James. Of course their bashing S6 because James dislikes Janelle so much.
Wow, Will is really good, very good. They're sitting there trashing Janelle about the Veto comp. James said Janelle kicked him. That's why he's so mad. He said everyone of them saw it, except the 40 cameras on them. Waa, waa James. He wants to talk to Dr. Zachery. He says BB is all for Janelle being the winner. Geesh James, you are such a whiner.
I like it that Janey is so concerned about friendships. She's so good in competitions, yet she's really sensitive about friendships. She doesn't want James to be mad at her forever, but I think he really doesn't like her. That's really sad because I truely believe Janey considers him a friend. Danielle, James, and Erika wonder why America likes Janelle so much, maybe they need to watch the show really careful. It's not because she's beautiful, she really does have a good, if not innocent like, heart. She believes in friendships and loyalty. She holds them very close to her heart.
Okay, I'm laughing. They're showing James in the bedroom getting dressed after a shower (was that James???) He had to keep the towel on and slip his underwear on under it. I can't help but laugh because of all the people, I would NEVER want to see HIM do that!!
I hate the flames. James was in the DR talking to them about the veto and when he came out, I guess he talked to Danielle and Will asked her about it and we got flames.
I just about died laughing when Danielle was talking about the idols during the POV comp. She said when she first saw them, because of her church background, she said the game was not for her. COME ON DANIELLE!! You lie and manipulate, but a few idols have you worried? Then you sit there bash talking George because you can't get in to his head. Then you wonder why America's vote doesn't go for you???? Just can it - PLEASE!
Jackie,
I've heard all this talk about Howie going off, do you think they'll show it tonight? I'm hoping they show part of it. I know Howie acts like a little kid a lot, but I have to sympathize in many ways. He probably never saw this coming. Yeah, he was pretty irritating in the house at times, but he was so fun!
After listening to them talk about the POV comp, I can't wait to see it!!
Penny
Jackie,
Thanks for the information. It should help me a lot. You're a doll.
Rags
Jackie, I have been a big BB fan from season one, and a big Jackie's blog fan sine 2005. I keep sending closet BB fans (remember the closet Melrose Place watchers?) to your blog. It's a place where they can talk and/or read about the show to their hearts content without any of their family or friends knowing. I'm so glad you are there for all of us.
So glad Janelle is back! Best, abigal
This may be silly, but when do they switch the dining room table for a smaller one? They're down to 7 HGs now and I haven't noticed them switch the table yet. I love seeing the HG reactions when they come into the house and see the smaller table.

Anon @ 2:56 - If you're bored, you can go elsewhere. I will remove comments trashing other commenters and me.
I kept reading comments to Anon - yet I don't see anything - I changed my contacts - haha.. I agree - as with any board certain comments have to be pulled if trashing continues, I enjoy reading about what has been updated, what the HG are doing, feed back on what each have stated however, it doesn't have to include immature comments - if people are happy Janelle won POV - why bash those who are happy for her - one reason I don't read some message boards-- why waste time reading garbage that is going in circles - sometimes one has to throw the towel and move on - not beat the horse over and over - I for one don't bother with a post that has over 27 comments on a message board.. This blog is much informative and to the point..Thanks
OMG! This is SO funny! Danielle is talking to Will about her dreams and why she's so stressed out. She's grinding her teeth at night.
I guess she has dreams (nightmares to her) about Janelle and Chicken George. In one of her dreams she has her parents picking her up in a sparkley silver (???) Escalade.
When they stop, they tell her they have no room for her, but in the backseat all dressed up and pretty is Janelle. They have room for Janelle, but not for her. LOL.
I can't imagine stressing over something like that. She told Will it didn't matter what she did, America will always look at her as bad. She will never win an America's Choice - it's always Janelle. This really bothers her that the internet people dislike her so much; and all her dreams are about her being left out because Janelle and CG are in them. I'm not sure what the dream was about Chicken George. Did anyone hear that?
It just amazes me how this bothers her so much. She grinds her teeth because of the anxiety. WOW.
Penny
James is such a sissy boy....all he has done since the POV comp is complain how Janelle cheated and there is no video feed to prove it. All he is really upset about is being beaten by a girl. He is such a loser. Will be glad to see him go.
I can hardly wait until the show comes on. With all the info we get from Jackie, it's more exciting. I hope George wins it all but whoever wins, it will be because they played it best....BUT PLEASE DON'T LET IT BE JAMES!!@@
Well, it is official. I am changing my favorite to Janelle!!! Will will have to come in second. I love that girl...
I want James to go so badly tonight, please let it happen. And next will be Danielle and Erika--Bye Bye. If the final four are Janelle, Will, Boogie and CG it would be ok. Last year the final group was so bad that I stopped watching...and I can honestly say I had never missed an episode prior to that going back to season 1.
GO JANELLE!!!!
Woo Hoo!
Go Janelle!!!
She is awesome and IF she doesn't win this season then BB will just HAVE to bring her back next year.
Don't ya think?!?!
Thanx for the recap her Jackie. I am/was so confused.
Niki
I think CBS should absolutely do another all stars but they should be stricter with the rules. Right off the bat if they don't listen, punish them and they WILL listen after that. I don't like Dani ever since Erika handed her the HOH comp and she went on and on about being the black widow. Erika handed it to her! I think people like Janelle because she is just a nice person. I like Will if he is now telling Janie the truth. I don't see how his plan would be to go to sequester and leave Boogie to win. Even with Will's minipulations, who the he11 would vote for Boogie? I think it makes more sense for him to make it to final 3 with Janie and Boogie. You are right, neither one of them would get rid of him.
Woogie is still using the CDT to their advantage even thought Mike lost it. Janelle keeps talking about him having it and Will did not tell her diferently. NOT FAIR! He lost the power and still has an advantage. Everyone should be told the truth!
Thanks for all your great work here.!!!
TAS - I've been wondering when the smaller table will appear, too. It seems in past seasons, it had already downsized by this time.
Jess - To me, it's the feeds (or reports thereof) which make the show. I think if I just watched the show itself, I'd give it up - they leave too much out!
Penny - Yes, I was the board host of Survivor 1 and one of the crew of 'em for BB1 on AOL. Back then, I did board management and I created the first of many of the reality show boards. But, now I'm blogging and loving the community which grows here in the comments. :-)
I don't think we'll see the whole Howie Implosion tonight because I think some of it probably went way out of bounds with what they can show on TV. But we're sure to see some of it.
Jackie, what's board management. I know it's probably involved but can you elaborate a little? meb
meb - Nothing really elaborate. Back when AOL volunteer community leaders could create message boards, write the descriptors on the top, group (tree) them together for a path to them... I did that. Of course, years and years ago AOL members made their own boards and when they hit a certain amount of posts, they recycled.
Thanks... it's amazing that this type of thing goes back a few years... I just found you on this blog in last year's BB. Sure glad I did too! Enjoy all you do for us! meb
Jackie,
Thanks so much for the answers. I was sure you were our moderator for S1, etc. When the new boards started, I didn't realize until much later that they did away with the moderators. I'd see you posting and still thought you were our moderator. Shows you how much I pay attention. Before the new boards came up, I was surprised to see a new moderator and wondered where you went and someone e-mailed me and said you were moderating another board. I am so oblivious sometimes. LOL
I really enjoy your blogs. I haven't changed my screen name (binxb1) since I've had AOL. It's the only name I post under, so sometimes when I see new names, it takes me awhile to realize it's someone who's been posting for years, but changed their screen name. LOL. Do you get to write in your actual job - if you don't you should.
I can understand if they don't show a lot of Howie's explosion. I guess he was expecting to NOT get evicted. Will he be interviewed the next morning? Or do they not interview the sequestered HG?
Thanks again
Penny
Jackie and Zoetawny-you are both amazing!!
I know there is another post but I had to leave a comment on this one because I think one of my favorite quotes of the season was on this particular post:
'Will regarding James: "When he doesn't get his way, he's like an angry four-year-old boy pumped up on PEZ."'
Will hit it right on the head! It is so correct and I just had to laugh when I read it!
