The POV Competition still hasn't taken place although the players have been randomly picked. Participating will be: Mike Boogie, James, Janelle, Danielle, Will, and Erika. Janelle picked Danielle's ball. Heh.
As promised, here are some answers to questions or comments on comments:
One person wanted to know how to cancel the live feeds. If you go to real.com and sign in, there is a contact phone number in their help listings. You have to call to cancel as the last I looked, there was no way to cancel online.
Lots of folks wondered about whether Mike's Coup d'Etat was revoked. That seems to be the case. But he can't use it as HOH anyway and this was the last chance for it. So they rented a sheep and a reaper for nothing.
Some still have questions about Janelle's winnings for Prom Queen. Other than the crown and bouquet, the winner would have received "a step up" (more like a step forward) in the HOH Comp last Thursday. It wasn't that huge of a lead, I don't think, but she couldn't participate. And it is what it is (as Danielle would say).
Someone wondered about West Coast time for tomorrow's show with baseball (football?). I'm in the NYC area, so I don't know. But I've found both AOL's and Yahoo's or even Zap2it's TV listings very reliable. Just input your local area info and they're updated better than a lot of print schedules.
That reminds me... remember... this Tuesday, the show will air at 9 PM ET/PT instead of 8 PM in most areas due to a concert special.
No, Janelle is not pregnant. She joked with Danielle about being pregnant a week or two back (I mentioned it in an entry) and the rumor is just resurfacing.
Sue wondered about all the HG mentions of splitting prizes. I'm stumped, too. As far as I know, they've all signed contracts saying they won't make deals to split winnings. This is the first season I've heard them talk of it without really getting reprimanded (that I know of). I would doubt that clause in the contract has changed, so... as I said, I'm stumped on that one.
I want to thank all the folks who have been supporting the blog through contributions in the discussions (the comments are tremendous!) and through the Donation button. Someone wondered if there was any way other than PayPal. That's my only method for receiving payments - it takes credit cards in addtion to straight PayPal. It's very safe. And, before someone jumps on me for "charging" for blog - I'm not charging anyone. I spend a lot of time and effort on the blog and some readers asked me to develop some sort of way that they can contribute. No one HAS to contribute, but I have to say that when I see a donation I become a bit Chicken George -- "This is cool! This is so cool!" Maybe Sally Field... "They like me, they really like me!" Either way, it's great to know people are enjoying the blog.
Cool! So cool!
Once the POV ever gets done and over with, an update will be posted. It's just a lot of small talk for the most part right now as they wait.

Bless you jackie, love the latest..you are the greatest, oh that james should leave.JUSTICE!
thanks for all you do girl!
JACKIE........U are the cool one,this would not be nearly as much fun if not for this blog and all the posyers. Are you not blown away by the response?? You have the talent,girl!
I am on pins and needles to get the POV out of the way. The only way Janie can be sure she's safe is if SHE wins it for herself. She cannot count on any other hamster in there with her now. I want to hear that she won this for ,and by,herself.GO JANIE...sending positive and winning thoughts your way.
Don't let WILL's softer,gentler side fool anybody. It's sequester time and he feels the need to smooze and clean up his image for those votes to the end. He's a great little actor,but he's still an immature,rude,woman abasing snot. I'm sure glad I don't have to have him for my doctor.
Thanks again Jackie!! I still have one question.. Did Howie miss the Julie visit?? Will the next person leave on Thursday?
Thanks
Lesa
thanks for the updates. I have to admit James is a bit more cocky this year, but I still like him and I hope he goes far
jackie...
i've been following along with you since last season and i just want to say, FANTASTIC JOB...i don't subscribe nor do i worry if i miss a televised show...you are all i need...so thank you
but i wonder, how DO you do it?...last year you had time off (how's the knee BTW?)how do you manage to hold down a job and keep up with the insomniacs?
you can't possibly have time to review video, do you?
again...thanks and keep up the great job!
joyzjenn
Lisa - I could be wrong, but I think tomorrow we'll see George's noms, the POV for George's noms and Howie's eviction. Although not live, I think it might be hosted by Julie Chen. Howie won't be on The Early Show if it goes like last year's Sunday eviction. I think the HOH Mike win should show,too.
Come Tuesday, we should see nominations and POV for Mike's reign. The next person evicted will be on the live show Thursday.
That's I think it will go down. I may be wrong. Tomorrow seems jampacked.
Oops. Scratch the George noms except for the recap. For a moment I forgot he did them on the live show last week!
joyzjenn - I tell myself I'll sleep on September 13. ;-) I have to research around the places where 20 people report every breath to fill in the basics for times I miss and jot down quick notes a lot for when I can't sit and type up a post. The new mobile this year is cool.
I agree Sharon, Will is trying to fool everyone by this softer side. He's a master of manipulation of everyone mostly women.
I wouldn't let him examine a wart on my foot. HAHA
hi jackieeeeeeeeeeeee
my husband thinks i'm havin an affair with your blog, ha ha ha
he's always askin me who am i typin to, and i tell him jackie, the blog keeper, lol
he wants to know why i am so into this bloggin thing, so i tell him exactly what you do for all of us and that we need to support you by thankin you with a small fee, luv what you do jackie, even if it is arousin my husband's interest:>
Howie's supposed to be on the Early Show Monday morning
I wish Janie would win POV and she would be able to put two people on the block and it would be Will and Boogie. Now wouldn't that be special. it would be interesting to see who would go. Maybe the HG would vote to have double eviction at one time. Out with Boogie and Will.
Hi Jackie,
Once again, THANK YOU for all you do! Once again, I am bowing down to your detailed and in-depth blogs! I for one and am on pins and needles hoping that Janelle wins POV!
I didn't know we could make a donation to support what you do until now, so I too sent you a small donation. You deserve that and much more!
You rock!
Patricia
what's the site to where 20 people report?
Anon 12:18
I think the point Jackie is making is her blog site is a one woman show. She watches and reports and there are some things that can slip by. Other blog sites, for the most point, are manned by several people and if one person misses something, most likely the other ones won't.
I think Will is smoozing, too. However; if he's left with Boogie, James, Danielle and Erika, I will choose him over the others. I can tolerate Will, I just find nothing good about the others. They trash talk everyone. They're mean.
I'm tired of hearing them downtalk the fans. Telling each other we have nothing better to do but vote for Janelle and it doesn't say much about us if we vote CG a Nobel Peace Prize. I just about jumped through the live feed and strangled James and Boogie.
Poohey on them. They are not nice people. Very arrogant and full of themselves. Although it was moot, it says a lot about Boogie for having his Coup revoked. I agree with Jackie, I think that's what made him work so hard to get HOH. He has a mouth that never stops running. I wish he'd stick another foot in to it.
Jackie, you are so wonderful for doing this blog. It's greatly appreciated!!!
Penny
Hey,numbskulls in the house,we voted George for the Nobel PEACE Prize.......think any of you even come close to qualifying??? They certainly are the most arrogant group of people for sure. Just had to add that.......
to anon 12:38. if a mere contribution button offends you then why would you even come to this source to read the blogs. i have never felt that this gracious woman Jackie was trying to make a killing at this. and nowhere does she work at soliciting money. i am appalled at your post it is sickening to me. why dont you go donate your time to these causes instead of busying your time reading blogs.
jackie is spending her time doing this for our entertainment. wow how selfish of her. you should be ashamed of yourself.
cooki
Did Janelle really win POV?
no she hasn't yet
Cookie 12:47
Who are you talking about? Nobody posting at 12:38 said anything about the contribution button and for the record, on this string, nobody has said anything. What's up?
my mistake on my posting of anon 12:38. i saw a vicious blog about the contribution button and now it is removed. anon 12:38 it was not you that had posted the comment. so i am formally apoplogizing to you. it was some mean nut roller i guess. but that posting is no longer on here.
cooki
The feeds have been blocked for an hour... two? A heck of a long time. Since they haven't shown the HG in that time, we don't know who's won or if it's even completed as I post this.
I removed the post which claimed it. It's probably my "pizza" friend.
I removed trolling comments and outright false information, so please don't quote such posts.
I sure hope Janelle win's POV - aww I almost had a second wind of excitement - back to work..sigh
Thank-you Jackie.
To Cooki and Jackie,
I agree 100%
Thanks for all you do, Jackie.
Anon @ 12:53 - Not Cooki's fault. I removed a post made at that time.
They wouldn't keep the feeds blocked until tomorrow's show, would they?
The suspense is killing me. I live on the East coast & I want to go to sleep but I can't until we find out who won POV. Would another website know sooner??? Anyone know?
I was checking other blog and the "Janelle wins" postings popped up but were removed with-in a few minutes. AARRGGHH.... I wanna know!
Wombat
Anon @12:59 - Nah, I'm sure they'll come back up. I've noticed that with blocked comps this season, they tend to block for an hour or two afterwards as if we're not going to pick up on who won.
As IF!
;-)
Right now, I'm sitting it out here with the feeds on. I'll admit that my planned update probably won't be posted until morning as they really haven't done much since my last update... except this blocked POV comp.
To JACKIE
Do you ever hear from the HGs after the show is over? And if so, do they read all of your comments and comments from all of us?
sjb
Added note: But I'll sit this out and get the POV winner posted! I'll just wait until morning for the regular update as there wouldn't be much to report right now except the POV.
From the ones I visit, Jackie's is always updated quickest and most frequently. We're just going to have to wait it out...it's eating at me, too. Go Janey!!!
Tiffany in TN
Rosalee,
Why mess with the rest? You're already with the best.
Rosalee - We all get the same feeds. Right now I'm here and I'm sitting it out... when the feeds come back and I get comfirmation (someone wearing the POV necklace or talking about the winner), I'll post it immediately.
To see the latest post on the blog sometimes hitting the August archive may bring up a newer post. (Right now you're on the latest one, though)
To all
Why do we care so much? Is something wrong with us? I'm so obsessed over this damn show. I need a life.
What's with the links to make donations on other sites? Is it that person who blasted Jackie? If so, what a tard!
TAS
Word verification game.
I hope that Boogie gets hwshtkd next week.
And to the little mfzijc who thought the music loop was a great idea - I hope your iPod only has one song on it.
sjbn - I haven't. Maybe someday. With my luck it will be Mike Boogie (who is NOT my favorite)!
Uuuggghhh. This is nuts we are all crazy about this silly little show. I know I am and I can't wait to see what the heck happens next.
Michelle OH
I'm anxious to know who won POV- I'll wait it out then head to bed, hurry hurry hurry - hahaaa - I sure hope Janelle win's - oops I've stated that various times..
Jakie
While we're waiting. Why do you have the word verification and the wheelchair icon? I'm new at this.
Rosalee (again)
Rosalee - I had to put up the word verification after spambots hit posting links to websites. They're automated, so they don't get by the word verification. (Unlike the occasional troll deliberately targeting the blog.)
Why the wheelchair? Um... so you can see the word better? ;-)
I realize it's Saturday night, why are the trolls out posting various sites that have no bearing to this blog?
It's Saturday night...why aren't we all outr partying instead of sitting here waiting to see who won POV on a TV show? We really need lives... (ha ha ha)
Great job Jackie. I'll be here with ya til we hear something!!!
TAS
wombat - The POV holder cannot be put on the block.
You know there are times I can view the word verification better than other times.
Ok...first it's Flight 93, then Katrina victims, now Darfur. If someone's trying to make a point, this is the wrong place to do it.
TAS
Jackie is this statement true?
I saw it posted somewhere else.
"From what I am hearing right now Will Boogie and James and Dani have split ways, they had a plan to evict her and she was crying?"
What are they talking about?
Jackie,
As we all wait patiently, I want to thank you for all your effort this season.
AB

Also Jackie
Do James and Danielle know that LOD is breaking up?
TAS - The messages left are going away. While we're joking about it being Saturday night, at least we have a common interest.
It's sad that some jerk is spending so much time trolling. But, not to worry. The links are gone and hopefully the child will be sent to bed soon.
Tom - I too see the word verification better some times than others. I hate typing it wrong!
HOLD it... feeds back on
so if Danielle wins POV and uses it to save James........Boogie can't put her up? She won POV, used it, so no longer holds it. Can't he nominate her?
Jackie -- hey, if I weren't here, I'd be watching something on TV. At least here I have interaction. I've been checking out some of the other blog sites and yours is definitly the best one BY FAR!!! I don't know how you do it, but I'm glad you do!! Keep up the fantastic work!!
someone said the feeds were up and saw Jani with the POV on her neck..james is throwing a fit
I don't think the HOH can put up the POV winner if they chose to remove a nominated HG. I seem to remember that from past seasons.
Yea Janelle
Janelle has the POV!!!
Re: All about internet Trolls

In Reply to: All about internet Trolls posted by AOL UTTER NONSENSE
So what they are saying is trolls spark debate, the main thing lacking from most peoples minds now a-days, Trolls bring up topics that scare people, some trolls use the art of trolling to bring up important topics, to show you what you really are. The best way to find out if someone is rasisit is to joke about there race.
Trollers show and point of view that we might feel is out there and help people see there own self reacting to it.
I think what they are saying trolling is like punk rock, really just new kind of protest song - "god Shave the Queen" imagine what AOL would have said of the Sex Pistols.
As far as sterotypes go, they are always silly, like general better betterness like what someone sees is only what they choose. what shrinks can't admit is that we are all over the spectrum, that any one of our traits is in any human in one degree or another,
There should be a whole other box stereotype for the trolls that troll trolls - the ones who troll in the others names to get the troll out of there hole - those ones are type y negative - they have different color eyes and they sleep on dirty bathmats.
Janelle seems to have won it. Danielle and Erika are upset. Will said James won't be in the mood to cook anything.
Janelle just won the POV
Rock on Janey..you GO GIRLLLLLL!
Tom - I too see the word verification better some times than others. I hate typing it wrong!
8/20/2006 1:35 AM
I wear contacts - also on my desk I have 3 pair of glasses - I have noticed the times, I've typed it wrong I had my glasses on - hmmm.. I may need to toss them all out - I literally have to concentrate as to whether something is a 1 or an l- which is one or an L .
No he can't because she would be the veto holder. Oh the anticipation is killing me. Really must get an outdoor life as soon as this show is over. Thanks for all your hard work Jackie!!
Michelle OH
P.S. My husband thinks the troll with the links is trying to tell us the is more important things in life than this blog. I of course told him he is wrong!
To Anon @ 1:40
What? I don't understant a word you said. What does pizzahut.com have to do with sterotypes and racism?
All I want to know is who won POV so I can go to bed.
OH PLEASE LET IT BE Janelle woohooooooooooo --
If you go to
http://bb7dish.blogspot.com/ you will find a video someone made in honor of Howie. It is really sweet.
Thanks for stickin it out with us Jackie! You ROCK!!
Can I go to bed now?...........
Tom S - She won it. Sweet dreams.
to tom s
I think you are having trouble with the letters because of the style of font. Some letters look like others and you have to redo some times. Good luck
Go Janelle...........
JANEY IS POV---BYE BYE BITCHES!!
Hamsterwatch is reporting that Janelle won the veto...
Hope it's true!
Yes Janelle won the POV.
Glad she is having a better day today after she was so depressed and sad yesterday.
I hate to see anyone sad and depressed like she was.
Nothing much going on in the house except Dani and Erika are considering forming an alliance with Janie to get rid of Chilltown..!!! I am not sure I am believing that. James is mad and upset cause he lost POV ( as expected) . Will is talking about free radicals, antioxidants, and skin cancer prevention. So we are getting some free medical advice..LOL..with the price of a doctor's visit these days...this is a bonus..LOL. Wish he would tell us something we did not know, though. LOL!!!
Caroline
YES,good for Janie,been staying up late waiting to hear who won the POV,
the Minnesota girl did it again..
Love to see james or dannie go home,,,,,
While I enjoy your site, I think the paypal donation thing is tacky. You are supposedly doing this because you enjoy it and the donation button makes you look like every other blog sell out.
Anon @ 12:25 - A rhetorical question... Who are you to tell me why I'm supposed to be blogging? @@
No need to answer as this isn't a forum to debate whether you think I should have a donation button or not. If you looka at ALL the major blogs and sites, they have them. Readers asked that I put it up, no one has to donate. It's not the subject of the blog and you can feel free to pretend it isn't there, but it's not for debate here.
Let's keep comments about the show and the houseguests, please.
HELLO THERE NOT SO GOOD THIS YEAR LIKE WATCHING A BAD MOVIE WITH BAD ACTORS LETS HURRY THIS UP
Jackie,
Hi! Excellent job again this year, You are the absolute greatest. I've been busy working and you are a true BB lifesaver.
TO ANON 12:25 and all those that do not play by the blog rules:
Jackie puts forth a tremendous effort and out of pocket expense for your pleasure. She has been doing this for quite awhile. Many of us were with her last year during the AOLSCAM and counter fiasco. She has been nominated and won awards for her blogs. So if people want to give her something, so be it. She is a very beautiful, creative, and talented person. Please give her the respect she deserves.
Sorry, I had to vent a little. I have been reading and not having much to say about the show...yet.
Thanks So Much Jackie,
Paula
Hi Jackie
Great job as always.
It would be nice if we can see what is going on in the sequester house. I would love to see the look on Howies face when James gets evicted. I would also like to see Howie and Marcellas.
You Go Janey for winning the POV.
Arlene
