'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Overnight Into Thursday 8/17

Chicken George and Will were the arteests putting in dye stripes in Howie's hair, as well as a moustache. Mike Boogie was the technician with the blow dryer. Supposedly this look will be on tonight's live show although Howie isn't too thrilled with the 'stache.

Here are the overnight events from that Big Brother House of Hen-headed Hamsters:
  • After burning the jengha game, Will wanted to burn the Jack Shack.
  • James and Danielle talked. They think Woogie is running too many scams. Danielle told James he should tell them his plans. They also arranged a signal to give each other during the live vote. Danielle said she had to talk to them and if she votes out Marcellas, everyone has to vote him out.
  • Since they'll vote as a group, James' vote will be very evident if he votes with Howie (to keep Marcellas).
  • Danielle then said if a vote is off, they can blame Chicken George because he promised both his vote. [Editor's note: I don't think he promised Marcellas anything and he only seemed to say "okay" to Erika without really saying he'd give her the vote for sure.]
  • Then they all decided Danielle will vote out Erika to keep her word while George, Will, Mike and James will vote out Marcellas.
  • James wants Danielle to throw the HOH comp to him.
  • Several mentioned Mike Boogie's "special power" but none know exactly what it is - it seems to be a given amongst the house that he won it (the Coup d'Etat). [Editor's note: I really don't think the order of the clues makes a difference, I really don't.]
  • James told Howie that he looks like a gay 1970s hedgehog with his new hairdo.
  • Janelle is still pushing for the vote out to be Erika while Woogie wants Marcellas out.
  • James suggested a fake fight between Janelle and Woogie. Then, when Marcellas is voted out, she can act all betrayed.
  • Will, Janelle and Howie studied for the HOH comp. [Editor's note: Janelle won't be allowed to compete as she's HOH now, but she always studies anyway.]
  • Janelle told Howie he looks horrible.
  • Marcellas fussed that he hates being in the house, but he was supposed to win. [Editor's note: According to who?]
  • Howie said that he and James are voting Erika out.

At this time, the vote looks like it should be 4-2 for Marcellas to be evicted. Howie may or may not have a moustache and may or may not try to change his hair to look human once again.

Well, it seems Danielle has declared herself queen of the house, huh? Not too sure of herself, is she! Sounds like she's issuing demands left & right.
I wonder if she's that bossy at home.
Should be a good show tonight.

Oh,I think Dani IS that bossy at home. She really thinks she rules and that's my problem with her,she is sooooo self righteous when something is done to her,but when she does it....it's OK.I hate her carrying the Bible around and then getting drunk and spewing all kinds of nasty,foul things,mostly about Janelle,who's only crime against Dani seems to be putting her up on the block.....duh,isn't that the name of the game??? She hides behind her "mommy" cloak,but there are "bad" mommies as well as good ones. I am NOT saying she is a bad Mom but I bet it's difficult to live with her!!

If BOOGER has the COUP,then I am sad,cause CT is NEVER up to any good. BUT I guess the game will go to WILL unless he has promised his "boy" that he can win this time,but don't think many would vote for BOOGER. The rest have played flawed games and let WILL run rings around them,despite them knowing his MO. Too bad,so sad...it is what it is and shall be!

ONE of the reasons I dislike BOOGER so much....the bros/hos remark. He has no class,no morals and is disgusting. If I was his Mom,I'm not so sure how proud I would be of him. Just my opinion!

Anonymous said...

As for the bros/hos comment -- I wouldn't read too much into that. Inside his own head Mike is still a little fat boy and Will-wanna-be, so he tries to act cool. Mike is a puppy dog adolescent IMHO.

Jackie, what did this part of your post mean (2nd bullet):

James and Danielle talked. They think Woogie is running too many scams. Danielle told James he should tell them his plans. They also arranged a signal to give each other during the live vote. Danielle said she had to talk to them and if she votes out Marcellas, everyone has to vote him out.


Especially the Danielle told James he should tell them (Woogie) of his plans. I think I missed something.

Good analysis in the post to the previous entry concerning who would Will want ot take with him and why. Good point about Janelle being good to take because she has so misplayed the game. If Will does want Boogie to win this time, I see him going willingly to sequester and then working the puppetstrings from the inside.

I've stated many times Danelle pretends to know it all- yet she herself is being played by Will - She has to realize this sooner or later, I honestly believe Will is most loyal to Janelle/Howie than James/Dani - Dani is finally waking up - haha

Anonymous said...

I agree. There is still that fat kid inside Mike Boogie. He is thrilled that he is in an alliance called "chill Town" and is even more thrilled that he gets soem attanetion from the pretty girls. I think Janelle and Erika know their way around men so I would not be so sure that they are as gullible as the editing makes it appear.

Would a good mom leave her children in someone else's care for 3+ months...two times? Maybe. I don't have kids and I don't know. But I wouldn't want to leave my dog in someone else's care that long. Sharon, you hit on just why I could never get behind Danielle. She is too self-righteous. She is also unkind. And she plays that Bible to the hilt. Manipulative I can take to a degree in the game, but not the other stuff.-abigal

I absolutely love Janie and Howie, but I don't think they can last much longer in the game. Janie is really letting herself get pressured by everyone. "She felt forced to put Marcellas on the block". I have been spending way too much time thinking about this, lol, but it finally came to me that the reason we find it so strange that Janie is being so gullible is that she was never in this position last season. Last season was so cut and dried "them against us". There was never any question of the Nerdherd influencing her decisions. Those two sides hated eachother so much, that you always knew who was going up on the block. They all knew exactly where they stood.

This season, because she doesn't have the advantage that we do of seeing what everybody is saying about her, she thinks she actually has friends and that a few people like her. That is certainly a switch from last season. I think when she finally gets to see what has really been going on she's gonna be pretty devastated. JMO, any other thoughts?

Rbennie, I think last year Howie and Janelle and Kayser did fall victim to the Nerd Herd. I remember them discussing nominations with them and falling victim to them in the same gullible way as they are doing this year. And remember Kayser giving up HOH to that twit whose name I can't remember because she shed a tear? The difference is they never had the numbers last year, like they did at the beginning of this season, before James deflected. - abigal

Anonymous said...

Rbennie made a great point : "Last season was so cut and dried; 'them against us'."

It was easier for Janelle last season as she very clearly knew who her enemies were and drove them into the ground with her competitive skills in the comps.

This season is much more difficult because not only can she not get a clear picture of who is and isn't her enemy, she actually "likes" a couple of them. I don't think she cares too much about Dani, Erica or George but she "had" a bond with Marcellas before he took off the mask and showed the ugliness behind it.

Even more to her detriment she kinda likes CT and enjoys their playful company. And unfortunately their masks are glued on so tight in her presence she can't see the wires and circuitry that lie beneath.

Their single most fatal error tho is their staunch determination to not get rid of James anytime soon even after his obvious and repeated laspes in loyalty. Howie was asked why by Will in the HOH room and Howie said they made that mistake last season, booted the disloyal James too soon and it reduced their numbers and they lost. Will then pointed out their error by saying "this is not last season, do you see Kaysar sitting here, no, it's Mike Boogie".

THIS is one of the glaring reasons why I don't believe Janelle is that great of a player. She KNOWS James has switched sides, she and Howie have discussed yet, she she still tries to cling to him. Also, you can't really blame Woogie for Janelle's lack of good judgment. No, she's obviously not as 'in tune' this time around as the first, but that's why this is All-Stars. The ones who can play the game WELL and hopefully win, those are the ones they brought into the house. The whole point of the show. Janelle has just fallen victim to a stronger player(s). Will has been very OPEN to the fact that he's a liar. He even wears it on his fricken t-shirt, so lets not kid ourselves that Janelle didn't have clues to this fact staring her in the face. She has zero power over Will. But Janelle only has JANELLE to blame for the position she is in. Instead of sticking with her own gut feeling and putting up the people she and her alliance wanted, she let Will sway her decisions (on more than one occasion) and got her to put of HIS enemies instead of hers. So if you want to blame someone for the downfall of Janelle...blame Janelle. She screwed it up for herself when she went after Diane and it was alllll downhill from there.

At this point, the reason Woogie is loyal to Janelle is that, as HOH, she is the one they need to manipulate. Beneath it all, though, I think she's still the key person they want to evict. She's the leader of what's left of S6, and, as Will has said about her, "if you cut off the head, the body dies."

Which leads me to the coup d'etat. If Mike suddenly finds out he has the power to put Janelle and someone else on the block, immediately, for an eviction vote, he may want to do that pronto! That would save Erika (which they want) and Marcellas (a weak player who is much less potential threat than Janelle). With Janelle, Mike would probably put up Howie as a pawn. In the unlikely event that Janelle stayed, she would have lost her only dependable ally, and would be the prime target for almost any HOH next week. (Of course, BB would then probably steer POV Janelle's way.)

If they evict Janelle tonight, CT may need to do a little damage control, but that's their long suit.

The reason that Janelle is so gullible this season is that she is up against Will, who can both out-think her and charm her. By comparison to CT, Maggie and Ivette were a joke.

"The reason that Janelle is so gullible this season is that she is up against Will, who can both out-think her and charm her."

I couldn't agree more!

But I do disagree about CDT and how to use it if by chance Boogie DID win it. I think he should keep it this week and let Marcellas go...if by chance Erika gets evicted (which from the sounds of it won't happen) still no big loss because he'll have that CDT to use for the next weeks. So regarless, he WILL get rid of Janelle, he jsut may string her along one last week just to evict Marci and rid the BB house of his annoying presence. I know I would.

Anonymous said...

The first evicted was Allison and while already I have forgotten what the vote was, I am very glad she left the house. Just for my own viewing pleasure. Then when S6 put up Nak, they found out mid-week that they didn't have the votes to keep her. They had to redo their plans and go along with the crowd (read that CT) to save face. That week alone would have put fear in Janelle over who to nominate. A HOH has to know where the votes are. Every week in the house she has been discovering she didn't have the crucial info and every time she realized it she became weaker. Like with playing cards, you have to be able to lose to win. I think that is the fire that has been missing this season with Janie. Although, there is still a tiny bit of me that thinks things are working out the way she planned from the beginning....just using a different method than we can see. Thank you, Jackie, Sue

It's time for Howie and Chill Town to go up on the Block to shake the game up and end the BS.

Hey Jackie...
Lovin the BLog TONNES

I hope they do change thier votes to evict Erika.
I hope that Mike won't be able to use his Coupe thingy...
I hope they give him the decision right after the votes and that he's comfortable that Erika will be staying and decide not to use it.
Then have it all backfire on him and Erika gets the boot.
That would Be awsome.

Thanks I love your blog, keep it up and I check it on a Regular Basis

I see that Danielle has a good game plan and is trying to use it. But, I don't think she is an exceptional player. At least this season. And, I will admit that it might be the editing more than the player. I think one attribute a good player needs is the ability to read the competition and change as needed. Will does that not just daily, but sometimes by the hour. Heck, sometimes in the middle of a convo. When Danielle was in solitary, she kept using the word "stupid". I thought she was referring to herself to have trusted her alliance. I agreed with her and was waiting for her to come out of the room recharged and ready to make some changes to her game plan. I was cheering her on. Instead, (at least from the editing) the 'stupid' was directed at her alliance and she was thinking them too dim to see what needed doing. They on the other hand were doing just fine, eating tacos and not sleeping alone with full bathroom privileges. That Veto should have shown Danielle that she was in an alliance of one and led her to change her plans or at least to continue her old one but to keep an open eye for weaknesses in it. Instead, she continued doing things as before. I don't think Danielle is the only one, it is just that many say she is good at her game and I am thinking she could be better at it if she wasn't locked into her previous season's plan. Me again, Sue

I would still like to see - Will take the HOH from James and then put him and Dani on the block. What could they do??? Those two would be shocked - they would have enough votes to get one of them off and the other would be left alone then go after Jani - Howie and George - get rid of the sneaky players and then one by one go after the others..... Go get em' Will.

I was wondering, do the hg know what time it is in the house? If so has it always been that way? I guess I always thought they didnt have a clock in there.

I think the reason behind Janelle and Howie continuing to let James slide with all his scheming/lying/switching of allegience is that he is the devil they know...the rest are devils they do not know. And as sad as it is, they NEED to believe he is with them because they've hatched this whole floater fiasco so they've burned THAT bridge...and chilltown is all over the place...with the amazing Will duping everyone and amusing himself and the viewers.

Anonymous said...

Rachel--

I thought about Mike holding back on using coup d'etat and letting Marcellas go. And, given only a moment to decide, he might go that way.

But I'd lean toward taking Janelle out ASAP. It's dangerous to try to "string along" a good player like her. Another week would give her the chance to fortify alliances or make deals to cover the coup d'etat, and you never know what other sudden twists may come into the game. Tonight, the operative saying for Mike could be "A bird in the hand in worth two in the bush."

You're right; Marcellas annoys pretty much everyone and has no strong allies. CT could accomplish damage control by uniting the house around taking him out next.

CheChePooks: Mike has already expressed his feelings about Erika...they are fake! He could honestly care less if she actually gets evicted. He's just hoping to use her for her vote to evict MARCELLAS this week and then plans to get rid of her either next week or the week after (since he's really hoping to get rid of Janelle next week). But either way, if Marci leaves or Erika, it's no skin of CT's back, really. They are playing to win and will work their magic as best they can to eliminate all but themselves.

I wholeheartedly agree with you, famyates, about Danielle. Dani likes to believe she's brilliant. She must forget how good she is because she keeps on having to remind herself - too often. I just don't like to see someone hide behind the bible. I'm not sure if she's religious because she feels guilty about the things she does or if she truely believes she is.

I have never liked Boogie. He likes to think he's smart, but he isn't. IMO, he has no redeemable qualities. He's NOTHING like Will. Will may be a player, but he's charming. LOL. Mike is a user. I hate to hear him always talking about money. Yes, money is important, but it's not the only thing. I just don't like him.
I am hoping he doesn't have the Coup. I am also hoping there wasn't a pre-plan between Woogie, Dani, James, and Erika. The guys throwing the POV to Danielle was just too obvious. It's sad.

I was listening to the conversation Will, Janelle and Erika were having last night about sequester. Will was asking quite a few questions. I also believe he's going to "give" the game to Boogie. He was asking both women what it was like, etc. I think he's considering it.

I also agree that last season's game was cut and dry. Janelle and Howie knew exactly who was enemy. Maggie and Ivette were witches. There was tension in that house and they acted it out all the time.

Here, Janelle and Howie have made friends with these people and they like to believe they do have some loyalty. They both HAVE done this to themselves. Racheal hit the head on the nail. Janelle knew what kind of player Will and Danielle were. Will has advertised what he was like. All the signs are there. They don't have blatant game play here. I love Janelle. She has a form of blind innocence. I'm not saying innocent, she's definitely not. What I'm saying is she believes in true loyalty, even in this game. But this is not the game to do that in.

Kaysar wanted to leave the best players in the game. To me, that was just plain dumb; and I like Kaysar. I would have gotten rid of the best players in the beginning, but they didn't. They did put Will up, but it didn't work. I believe it didn't because I believe there were pre-game alliances.

Will does not want HOH because he doesn't want to come across as the bad person. I don't even know if Danielle wants one again. They want others to do their dirty work. Dani likes to blame it all on someone else pressuring her. That's how she thinks she comes across as a good person. It's how she plays the game.

I'm hoping BB is playing the game, too and really puts a monkeywrench in the whole process. I do not want Boogie to have the Coup, but I think he does. If he does, then it confirms my suspicions even more, there's some agreements made here even before the show.

It's kind of cool right now on the live feeds. I guess they're preparing for the live show tonight because they're showing a BB trivia game on top of the flames.

They're going through all the seasons and asking questions. Maybe that's part of the HOH tonight? I got it right, but I forgot about poor chiquita almost drowning in Season 1, right on live TV!

I didn't realize I knew so many of the answers. Yikes - I think I'm watching too much TV. LOL

OOOOOOHHHH.......I'm starting to get excited here. What if ...IF Boogie doesn't have the coup at all and are just making the others think that they do. Maybe one of the early guesses were right and the later clues were just red herrings. Maybe it's just another way for BB to control who wins the coup. Did Janelle ever officially guess?

Another thought on the coup...am I wrong in assuming that whoever wins it may not reveal it to anyone else until it's actually used?


Well, with this crew I seriously doubt that any of them could keep this a secret. With the possible exception of George, the rest of them are the biggest blabbermouths in history. Just read a convo between Woogie and now am not at all certain that they do have it but it sounds like they want everyone else to continue thinking that they do.

At any rate, tonight's show should be a good one.

No one has the CDT yet, as far as I know. I belive BB said they'd let the winner know they won TONIGHT (Thursday) and only the winner would know. That was my understanding...maybe i'm wrong, though. Maybe tonight is just when they tell us exactly what the "power" is.

Penny- I totally agree that Will jsut doesn't have any interest in being HOH. He likes to sitback and be the "puppermaster" and let everyone else do all the dirty work while he narrates what's to happen. I also think he'll throw the game so Boogie can take the win. Not sure if he'll go for sequester, but he'll at least try to leave it open for ole Mikey boy to take the prize if he can. Seems sequester is the perfect way to get taht done as he can talk him up in there, as someone else mentioned.

I think Will doesn't want to be HOH because then you have to vote and their isnt a target on your back the next week. He doesn't want to be the messenger and get himself knocked off.

Anonymous said...

I have not heard much chit-chat from the HG regarding if they think they won the Coup d'Etat. I would really like to know what Marcellas guessed. I remember him saying to himself "you reap what you sew" in the backyard while he was studying the big needle and thread. If he guessed that prior to Boogie and won, he could really stir things up tonight by taking himself off the block and putting up Will and Boogie. Now that would be interesting TV to see them get out of that situation!

Anonymous said...

LOL anon 6:23. It's impossible to win any HOH's in a row, as the out going HOH is not allowed to compete for the new HOH comp..but HA, I would love that as well. George is fun, he's way laid back, but really he's not been doing much. Granted, he doesn't get a chance to do much, but I guess with him being the only one stuck on slop this whole time and till the end, I guess he deserves it for his misery as well as putting up with everyone else in the hosue while keeping up good spirits and not backstabbing. And woah..talk about run on sentence. haha

and most importantly...Jackie rocks our world!!
