Suppose they gave a television show finale and no one came?
The Internet sentiment regarding the finale is the lowest, most negative I've seen over the years of the show. Even last year's unpopular final two were more popular than this season's "All Stars."
Here are the events of yesterday and the overnight hours from that Big Brother House of Diasappointment:
- The daytime itself was lacking much noteworthy - they burned a pot of something on the stove, Erika talked to herself how she took out the brains of Chill Town, Mike napped, they smooched a bit.
- Mike said the Diary Room asked him if Will and Kaysar had a deal where Will would be evil and Kaysar good. He said that was crazy.
- There. Now you know the daytime hours happenings. It was the evening that became a bit intriguing.
- We could hear the voices, but the feeds themselves were showing Erika sitting alone at a table. The jury was in the house, or outside the house. They had microphones, anyway.
- Howie aparently had gas, Marcellas claimed he wouldn't miss that at all. George giggled. Danielle said she didn't want to go first.
- Will's voice told everyone to "stress down" and make it look as if they were angry.
- George said something about James' expressions never change.
- Howie wanted to urinate in the bushes, but was told to wait - they'd let them inside soon.
- The feeds were then blocked for more than a few hours as the jury questioned the final two.
- Mike thought they would have a more clear idea about how the jury vote would go after the Q&A period, but he's not sure. He said that one of the "fencesitters" was Janelle and she "went the other way." Erika said she never really thought she "had Janelle." [Editor's note: Hmmm... Janelle will vote for Erika?]
- James asked Erika something along the lines of: "Why should I vote for you if you deplored Alison's hooking up and flirting, yet you did it?"
- They think the vote will come down to Chicken George.
- Mike thinks the jury are all hypocrites. He said Danielle had no right to question him like she did. He lied to everyone but George and Will. He didn't lie to George because he didn't need to. Danielle asked Erika about "ass-kissing" and throwing comps.
- They said the only juror who "went off" was Janelle. Erika thinks she's jealous. Mike said, "Yeah, because she lost two years in a row." They proceeded to trashtalk Janelle and, to me, it sounds like they might be the ones who are jealous.
- Mike said Howie is a shallow person. [Editor's note: Pot. Kettle. Black.]
- Mike thinks that Howie will vote for Erika while Erika is worried that Howie will be influeneced by Janelle. I'm so confused
- They both think the vote will be very close - a 4-3 which could go either way.
- Big Brother gave them wine.
- Erika thinks that Danielle will vote for her.
- They complained more about Janelle being a "crazy _____."
- Mike told Erika that Janelle is jealous because she (Erika) is the "pretty girl" sitting in the final two. [Editor's note: Gag.]
- Mike told Erika that the jury sounded more hostile to her than to him. She said she noticed, but didn't know why - she was always the "nice girl." [Editor's note: Gag.]
- Mike thinks Will is working on the jury, but doesn't know if he'll be able to influence some of the jurors.
- They each took responsibility for Howie's eviction.
- Apparently they could only hear the jury, couldn't see them.
- They talked about the various alliances in the house - LOD, the Perfect Storm, etc.
- Erika told Mike that she knew he threw the face-morph comp when his time came in so high.
- Mike asked Erika if she was lying to Janelle when she told her she'd take her to the final two. She said no - she would have beat her in the vote (she thinks). If she hadn't let go of the key, Erika was going to throw the comp to her.
- Erika is sure that Janelle would have taken her to the final two over Mike.
- Mike thinks that if Janelle were in the final two, Will would vote for her.
- Erika thinks the whole jury is jealous of them and bitter about not being in the final two.
- They trashtalked Janelle once again. Still. Whatever.
- Alone, Mike asked the camera if he should drop Operation Double Date tonight or save it for the time being. The camera didn't answer.
- Erika told Mike she protected him the entire game. [Editor's note: @@ Eyeroll, please!]
- Erika went on again about how she singlehandedly "took out the brain of Chill Town."
- Mike found that insulting, as he should. [Editor's note: Yes, Will was the brain, but to tell Mike that to his face is a bit mean.]
- They got into a snit. Heehee! Slammed doors, grumbling at/about each other.
- They slept apart. Well, Erika mostly was awake.
There you go. There's trouble in paradise and... you reap what you sow.

Good morning Jackie, Thanks for the overnight reports. I wish they had shown the jury asking the questions though. So now that the Q&A is overwith, will Janelle be allowed to join the other former houseguests in sequester??
Have a good day and GET SOME SLEEP :-)
Cyndi
G'morning, Cyndi! I don't know if she'll be joining them or not. Nothing seemed to be said about her not being there or Erika and Mike surely would have mentioned it.
Thanks Jackie for the update. I love your comments . That is the only reason I come back now to read about the final 2. Love your blog.
KDD
Jackie: I know its been said before, however, this is my first comment and I want to thank you so much for your insights and especially your humor and Editor's Notes. This has been the best year for me and it's mostly because I found your blog. Thank you for all your time and creativity. Blessings, Nancy
Thank you KDD and Nancy!
If I were on the jury I think I'd pout and abstain. Apathy certainly has set in for me as a fan of the show.
Good Morning, Jackie
I have been reading your blog since the beginning of BB7, but have not posted. I just want to thank you so much for the wonderful reporting you have done. Hope to be able to find you for the next Survivior. How do I get to that blog?
Thanks again,
Carol
GAG ME! I can't stand either one of the remaining HG. The two that deserve to be there aren't. It seems to me that the final competition was slanted so that Mike had the advantage. The whole ending makes me sick. Barf....
Did you see Janelle on the morning show after her eviction, she was slurring her words as if on sedatives. She should have won...and gotten rid of Booger a long time ago. She let Will influence her too much.
I also got up early just to see what all you had written. Surely Janelle will get to go back to the jury house. That is if she was there.
I'm like most of the people I can't believe these two wanna be is in the final 2. I wish the jury could say that neither one of them deserves the money, so they can't vote for anyone. Oh, well it's just a thought. Jackie from NC
pot; kettle; black
that's a good one, jackie - if mike was on the jury, he would be the most bitter !! i think everyone on the jury is a little bitter, they lost out on half a million bucks, - plus, i'm sure they feel like we all do - the 2 most unwanted in the final 2 are there !
to: boogie, when will left, the look on your face, the feelings coming across: class act !
who should win the money ? the best player ? ummmm, not erika or mike
oh, well, someone has to win
It seems as if no one was disqualified at this point, not if they were all there. If some one had been missing, E or B would have mentioned it, right? I'm thinking the CBS vote was just to boost lagging interest. Wouldn't be at all surprised to find that the "handlers" turned their backs just when they were supposed to, and the whole thing was set up, again for the lagging interest.
Gen
I think that the whole janellousy thing is so interesting. No matter what she does, the BB women (and Marcellas) are just consumed with hatred. I think she's the best person to ever be in that house, so I just don't get it.
Jackie ...thanks for your dedication on reporting the feeds!I don't know how you ever got any sleep since you are on the best coast the East Coast! Anyway,I saw the talk of the guests leaving/escaping the sequester house I guess I must have missed the original post/comment. Can you explain what exactly went down and how you how verified proof that it really happened? You rock !
Thanks so much Jackie, you make the most dismal of all entertaining. CBS needs to hire you for their production staff so you can liven up that show!
What if there were a vote and nobody came?
I say it would be fitting....such a joke
You were awesome as last year, solooking forward to your Survivor commentary!
It sure sounds like Ericka and Mike are VERY jealous of Janelle or they wouldn't keep talking about her...if they would just look around they would see that she isn't there anymore so there isn't a need to keep trashing her. This has been one miserable show. Jackie, Your eye rolls have been the best part of this show so I declare you an ALL STAR!!!
FROM THE BB:All Stars Website
You, the Jury
Which of the Final Two All-Stars do you want to win BIG BROTHER? Cast your vote now.
Thank you for voting. If the Jury vote is tied, your vote could help determine the winner.
Be sure to tune in to the BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS finale on Tuesday, September 12, to find out who wins the Grand Prize. And check back here after the show to see who fans picked in this poll.
Thanks for the kind words, folks!
bella - I don't have the link right at the moment, but a legitimate CBS affiliate had a story and pictures taken of Will and Danielle out and about. It was linked by a few folks in previous comments, as well as being able to be found with a Google search.
The fight in sequester thing is totally different - an Internet rumor which grew legs. John was posting for entertainment value, I'm sure. But I personally don't like to give credence to absolute rumors. That's how they grow and folks take them as truths. When I post a rumor, I will disclaim that it's a rumor and unfounded.
JACKIE AND BELLA .. this is where you can see some the video of the sequester house "night out"... The pictures only show Will and Danielle, but according to some of the feeds it appears they were all there.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pTOvmh69jo
Mike is disgusting, I thought that I would throw up when he said to Will. "This is our show, and we are not going to let these two bitches steal it." His mother must really be ashamed of his behavior. Will as much as he lied and manipulated had some tact about the comments he made on national TV, and I really think that he developed a sincere fondness for Janelle.
I just read the play by play btwn E & B at Jokers. If Boogie is upset that Erika thinks Will was the "brains" of CT, how will he feel when he gets out of the house and starts reading some of the internet sites? EVERYONE out there, regardless of the site, thinks that Will was the brains and Mike was only along for the ride.
When he finds out, is he gonna go to his room and refuse to talk to us too?? ;)
Yuck! This is just awful, I watch all summer route for James and Janelle and neither in the house and the two that are, did nothing to deserve to be thereMike and Erika should be sitting next to Howie. This is just wrong on so mamy levels.
I like how your blog is on AOL's Big Brother site! Very cool!
As much as I dislike both of the final two, I would rather see Erika win. Mike comments where really disgusting, with all that "Ho" talk, and him getting all that free publicity for his business. Women should boycott his business. The only way that the final show will be worth watching is if Mike loses and everyone shouts, "class act" as he pouts.....
JACKIE...
Thank you so much for what you have done for us during this BB season. I am so glad I found this site!!! When you typed the @@'s, I rolled mine too...auto-reflex!!! Lucky I did not gag....when you typed that. LOL The outcome will be the outcome.... and may the best most-hated player win!
Hugs, delee
John -- Sorry, I didn't find your rumor story funny at all. I don't believe in starting vicious rumors. Even though we don't know these people, the internet is a dangerous place for rumors. These people have to go back to their lives next week. There will be enough things for them to deal with, without anyone starting hurtful rumors about their behavior in the jury house.
ORKMommy said: When he finds out, is he gonna go to his room and refuse to talk to us too?? ;)
I say: If only we could be that lucky...!
Thank you SOOOO much, Jackie, for making these final days of BB bearable. :-) I truly do hope that Mike and Erika come out of BB and NO ONE wants to book them on their shows. I hope Mike sees that EVERYONE knows Will was the "brains" of the operation. Anyway, I'm so glad you'll continue your blog through Amazing Race, Survivor and Lost!! Again, Thank You! Cathi
C'mon guys and gals. Erica and Boogie made it to the final two. We don't have to like them but why be so vicious? It was a game. I'm 75 and realize we don't always get what we want so suck it up people. It is what it is!
Anonymous at 9:20.....
I felt the same way you did about Janelle's appearance on the Early Show. She seemed drunk or dazed. She was really slurring her words and struggling to keep it together.
Has anyone gone to Housecalls and watched Janelle... she confesses what Will was whispering in her ear including asking her to live with him and telling her he was beaking up with Erin. I believe he said these things, don't know if they were true.
In Wills interview on housecalls he said he talked with Erin on the phone that she is upset with him and they are trying to mend their relationship.
He's funny as usual. meb
Jackie, if I haven't said it before....I wanted to thank you for providing this great blog for everyone to come and enjoy. It's like home.
tbc
Is it possible for one or all of the jury members to refuse to vote???
Jackie once again, Thank you, for you well written informative updates -- Your blog IMO has made this season's ending bearable to view. I actually do NOT care who win's its a toss up..
I know that I am NOT going to watch the finale and I really do not care which of those 'losers' wins. The best player was Janelle and she is the person who deserved to win. I was hoping for a miracle, but I am disappointed at best. I think I am finished with Big Brother. This is very upsetting. Thanks for letting me vent.
Hi Jackie,
I know it has been said, but I would also like to say that if it wasn't for your humor and "editor's notes, I would have had no interest in this season's BB. Thanks for your work and Zoetawny's graphics. I'm looking forward to reading your insights about Survivor.
in IN
Does anyone know if the CBS's Early Show originates from New York or California? If it's New York, that would explain why Janelle seemed to be "slurring" her words. She probably hadn't had any sleep. I was under the impression the show originated from NYC.
Once again Jackie, thanks for all your sleepless nights to keep us updated on all the happenings in the BB house. We can't thank you enough for your dedication to this blog!
Jackie,
Will you do "Dancing With The Stars" also? I love that show.
Stephanie, who was on Survivor two times, married her boyfriend that she was going with for 7 years, this past summer. She got married on the beach in New Jersey.
She works for and models for a Sports Clothing Company now.
I didn't watch the last show where Janelle was voted out...read about it here and preferred to read rather than watch the sad fact that Erika and Mike ended up as the final two. And like a lot of people, we'll pass on the "grand finale." Like who cares? There is no one nice left to cheer for. Will should not have been permitted to come in as a "team" which messed with the entire season. As much as Mike and Erika trash talk Janelle they know she's the "pretty one" and only 26 to Erika's 36...and I'd have to see a birth certificate to believe Erika is only 36...unless she put a lot of hard mileage on those years she looks at least 40. So a couple of losers will win...hopefully next year there will be some program changes and the worst won't end up at the end. I hope BB has learned something this season about having people on the show that viewers like...look at the popularity stats...only Janelle and Kayser have high ratings with the viewers. Mike and Erika will get a dose of reality when they return to their real lives and see that you reap what you sow.
Jackie -
Thank you for your blog - It was an added dimension of entertainment for this viewer of Big Brother. I'll check the results of the finale here, but won't be tuning into to CBS.. I'm very turned off by both finalist and their attitudes I get from reading the overnights.. BLECK.
Again, thank you Jackie - I look forward to joing in for BB8!
KMODii
I read on the feeds that when the HG were heard collecting before the Q&A, which seems like it must have happened on the set just outside of the "front" door of the house, that they did not hear Janelle among them... it was said by someone that this is why Janelle was not allwoed to join sequester... that they were letting the evicted HG wait to be surprised at the last moment when Janelle suddenly joined themj for Q&A... don't know if there's any truth to that.
B&E commented that they didn't even recognise Janelle's voice, said they thought she was drunk, and was the only one to "go off" on them..., to the point that she was the only evicted HG who the show cut off during her comments. Janelle suppsedly said "wait, I'm not finished" . Hmmm.... should be worth watching Tues anyway...
Anon @ 11:37 - I might touch on Dancing With the Stars, but since I haven't watched the series through either previous season, I don't think I'll be faithfully blogging it. But I may post now and then about it. Survivor now has a new tough-woman-sounding Stephannie (different spelling). I wonder if it'll be legend now (the name in connection with the show).
John - You have to understand that when you post to be a bit outrageous, not everyone is going to appreciate your sense of humor. I'll admit that both times you posted that in my comments, I thought you went over the top, too. Or perhaps it was more because you were trying to post a fake story as real. Maybe if you had said at the start, "here's a story I made up" and then went with it, folks may react differently. But, as it was... and the fact that you felt it necessary to post it twice, it creates problems as folks believe things a bit too easily, then spread the stories as "truth." It's not so much even what you said, it's more that you tried to pass it as fact when it wasn't.
Jackie, did you see where it seems Erika also did say that she decided NOT to throw the comp to Boogie at the end... she said she decided to take her fate into her own hands. Boogie seemed miffed that he had given her his mom's letter in her pocket and that was not the guarantee she'd take him that he thought it was, which E confirmed for him. This and the "I took the brains out of Chill Town" was also why they began to fight. oy.
Interestingly E also confirmed that she had planned to throw the endurance com to Janelle, and it came out in a context where I don't think she was "lyin". Wish Mike hadn't jumped even more now. But clearly it was his best, albeit an arrogant move (what else is new?)
Erika -- Gawd -- to see how she is continually after Boogie, when he is so clearly not interested in her, it's really disgusting to witness. Enough already!
Left to their own devices, these two are imploding.
Jackie, I'm glad there is some recognition that we the audience are not pleased by CBS.
Anon @ 11:32 - Yes, The Early Show originates in NYC. For the BB segments, they are in Los Angeles, but it's NYC time. So, when you see BB contestants, they usually are wearing the same clothes as evicted in and often look tired.
I still haven't seen the Janelle segment as I had left for work before it aired. But I'll catch it online today.
Yes, the report on the houseguest getting out of the house was posted on a CBS newes site, so I assume CBS wasn't THAT unhappy about the press....
I am with everyone on the fact that the final 2 shud not be mike & erika...but, there is a reason they are both there...it's called THE BIG MISTAKE...the best players made them, but for now i will just concentrate on my 2 faves will & janelle(actually Will was my only fave, janelle comes in not a very close 2nd)...it doesn't matter how well they played the whole game, both made a very big, HUGE mistake which got them evicted...i've already discussed wat will's was...his BIG MISTAKE was allowing janelle & erika alone time...he had janelle wrapped around his finger & if he had really tried to keep janelle away from erika, that's wat wud've happened(i am afraid that he & janelle may have crossed the friendship line which made things awkward for him, considering he supposedly has his gf erin)...just a theory...i cannot think of any other reason for will not playing his infamous game the whole game...so another class act left the house(i am still in mourning)...and janelle, janelle, janelle, who won all the hoh's & pov's that others wud've died for, she made her BIG MISTAKE when she got rattled #1 when she evicted will(i think that shattered her emotionally)...& #2, when she really needed to win, she didn't...the other 1/2 of chilltown rattled her when he dropped out of the endurance comp & oops off came her hand...that's y mike is there & janelle isn't...erika got her hail mary when she spilled the beans on the boys & janelle turned on will...yes erika managed to get both will & janelle out...that's y erika is there...erika knew mike wud take her cuz he didn't feel he cud beat janelle...i am not sure erika wud've taken janelle, i don't care who's life she swore on...didn't someone do that bb6 & kaysar was out the door...let's not forget the strategies...these players didn't...whether they made promises, alliances, or swore on a life, they knew they cud always get out of it by saying that they were playing the game to win...
so will, to me, is the greatest player of all time...janelle is a great player also...they both lost focus at the end...mike & erika didn't...that's y they r there...they played the game...

I agree 100% - At a Quick glance, I for one -- did not believe a word of it -- revealing details per " scripted " organized describable fashion mode -- generally indicate's laughable

Thanks, Jackie
John why do you find it sad??? Your quote below:
The fight rumor is defineyly true:
Excuse me I find it sad that you'd post it definitely true knowing it wasn't! Twice for that matter @@@
The only reason I'll be watching Tuesday nite is to see Janelle win the 25,000 from America's Choice!! There is still something positive here guys! Don't forget to vote!
I would also like to be a fly on the wall when Will & the rest of them see Mike crying in the DR. What a loser! HAHA:)
So I am confused. Does it look like Janelle is voting Mike or Erika? I am confused
Also, when you said if Janelle was in the final 2, Will would have voted for Janey. Do you mean if it was Janey vs Erika or Janey vs Mike? I cant picture Will NOT voting for Mike no matter who he was opposed.
Any word on Will's questioning? I can totally picture him saying some fruitloop questions that mean nothing just for fun. then again, he might have played mean mindgames on Erika to make Boogie look good, ya never know with the puppetmaster
Jackie, based on what you heard, who do you think is gonna win?
I can't believe Janey isn't in sequester. You would think BB would want the dramatic clips of her and will reuniting again. Don't they think of this stuff?
I agree that Janey was on something when she was on the early show. She slurred and her eyes looked messed up. I noticed that myself
Anon @ 2:10 - They (Mike/Erika) seem to think Janelle will vote for Erika to win.
As for who they think will win, Erika seems pretty sure she will while Mike thinks he has a solid chance.
Me? I dunno. While I'm covering the feeds and all, it doesn't really matter to me which of the two wins.
If Janelle had gone in sequestor house with Will, she would have hooked up with him. I am glad she will have time to hear from others that he was manipulating her and had little concern for her.
I wrote CBS and told them I was not interested Big Brother ever again. I also wrote that I believe they should have removed Mike from the house when he made those very threatening remarks about what he would do to Janelle.
Wouldn't it be great if they did disqualify Mike.
Still wishing for a "fairly tale" ending.
sydney - Yes, that bit about the letter to his mother and the fact that she decided to compete started their tiff.
A couple of things:
1) Yes, Will was the brains of chilltown, however, Will couldn't have done what he did without Boogie at times. He and Boogie planted seeds together. I do think Boogie deserves to be where he is. Personally, I want Boogie to win because it shows a win for Chilltown which means Will won in his own way.
2) To the person who said Will/Boogie shouldn't have been allowed in because of their alliance. I disagree. How was their alliance different than LOD, the Perfect Storm, the Season 6 alliance? Everyone has an opportunity to align. The only big difference was that they were smart enough to never lose faith in it. When you switch alliances, you lose. Will and Boogie were the only ones who stayed true to each other.
3) I think Mike crying in the diary room is a nice thing. It showed his true feelings for Will which I think showed that Mike isn't the biggest jerk in the world. If he was a jerk, he would have been ECSTATIC to get Will out of the game because Will would have beat Boogie hands down. Mike genuinely wanted to sit next to Will in the final two knowing he (boogie) would lose. To me, that shows the strength of their bond. Those mopey feelings weren't "I got duped" but more "I lost my friend". If a girl cried, nobody would make fun of her, so why make fun of Mike showing his true feelings?
does anyone think mike is going to win???????????
What was the significance of Mike's letter to/from his mom? I don't understand.
Did Will play Janelle? YES, but I also wholeheartedly believe he fell for her in the process. You can't fake looking at people the way those two did. I really think Will fell for her, despite his best efforts.
Oh, and someone mentioned "why didn't Will keep Erika/Janelle" away from each other. On Housecalls, he answered that question. He said he tried his best, but they just couldn't be stopped. He knew it was a bad thing, but no matter what he did, he couldn't prevent it. He partially blames Mike because he believes Mike should have taken Erika and started shomancing her to keep her from Janey. He said Mike dropped the ball.
Hi Jackie,haven't kept up much wih the last two LOSERS>"In my eyes"
I was surprised to read that some of the jurors escaped from the house,donn't they ahve someone watching them?
From warching when anyone new went into the SH I was a bit shocked at Howies behavior.Shows very poor sportsmanship.
I' only going to watch Bb Tues to see who wins the $25 thou. Don't care who wins the other money,neither of them deserve it.
Thanks again jackie for all your hard work.
My next reality show will be "Dancing With The stars".Then the final 10 on American Idol.These are the only reality shows I like to watch.
Will go back to my regular shows.
Thanks again
Tess from Amss.
Erica is hardly a mastermind. She will be knocked off her high horse soon enough (after viewing how she has been spoken about by her dear LOVER Boogie).
Sometimes...it's just luck that determines who wins or loses. And though I'm not thrilled with the final two...I will be watching the finale as I am sure most people will who've followed this far.
People are jealous of Janelle because she is beautiful and seems to be a genuinely good person. People are jealous of others when they want to have or be what someone else is or has...simple as that.
Jackie-
Was Janelle with the houseguests last night when they asked their questions of Erika and Boogie?
And, wouldn't she join them for the next 2 days?
Thanks, Erin
Jackie, You do a great job! Keep it up!! Thank You!
Now, about the F2 (which F2 could be said the way we all think), all the complaining we do is not going to change anything. I too, really do not want to watch the show Tuesday, but I will because I think Booger (who rode the coattail of Will and did him a favor of taking care of Skrubika) will win and Skrubika will take 2nd. My thrill will be WHEN (yes, I say WHEN) Janelle wins the extra $25,000 which will be $5,000 more than Skrubika will make. Booger is the type of person that won't care what we all think about him. He'll be laughing all the way to the bank.
Teddie
I had a funny thought about Will and Janelle. Remember the scene from "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" where it says, "the Grinch's small heart grew three sizes that day!" ? That's what happened to Will. He started out a Grinch, but a certain Who from Who-ville (Janelle) got to him with her goodness. So, even though neither of them won the BB game, I think, in a way, Good conquered Evil.
(Just let me have my fantasies! It makes me feel better about this season.)
Caryl from Houston
normally I would agree it was mean for Erika to tell Mike that Will was the brains. Though given what Mike has done to Erika (and she allowed it - I know - takes 2) I do not feel bad for him.
It seems like Will is trying to backtrack on his "showmance" on housecalls, but Janelle is going the other way by admitting that Will was going to break up with Erin and had asked her to move in with him....Hmmm.
Erin - It seems that Janelle was with them. Mike and Erika only got audio and we only got what Mike and Erika said later. Initially, before the questioning, Janelle didn't seem to be with the rest on what we heard before it was blocked. But, it's most likely they filmed a "big thing" about her joining the jury after we were blocked. I don't know if she joined them in sequester now or not.
Where can I find the final results of America voting the All Stars into the House? I don't recall ever seeing a break down as to who got the most votes. I imagine Janelle and Kaysar got the most, but I would be interested in seeing what the other got.
Thank You
I watched the feeds last night, and both Mike and Erika clearly think Janelle will be voting for Mike. Mike mentioned he thought Janelle was a fence sitter, but I guess she went after Erika last night, (much deserved) and made it very clear that Mike has her vote. They both said many times Mike's for sure votes are Will, James and Janelle. Mike is hoping, and Erika is worried that Janelle will sway Howie's vote to Mike. Erika was very angry with Janelle after last night's Q&A. I guess Janelle asked her,was ass-kissing and throwing competitions part of your strategy. They both think Jaelle is jealous, but clearly it is Erika who is jealous, and mad that she has lost Janelle's vote. I am not a Mike fan, but after watching Erika, I hope Mike beats her 7-0.
They also made reference to Janelle's anger that it would make the "thing" interesting. They have been alluding to the "thing" a lot, and from what I can gather, the final four, Will, Janelle, Mike and Erika are to appear on the view. I am not sure when, but I would imagine shortly after the finale. With Janelle's new hostility to Erika, it will be interesting to watch.
I also found it funny last night listening to Erika re-write the game as if it all went according to her plan. She thinks she got Howie evicted, and She was always putting up Danielle, and it was not Chilltown that influenced her to do that at all. Hilarious. Those of us with the feeds watched her telling Will,"I can't do it, can't we just vote out chicken George." now it was all her plan. I think she is trying very hard to back peddle and not look like she was manipulated by Chilltown. Geuss what Skarika, you were had, you are sittin there by pure luck, and chilltown had no loyalty to you!!!!!
Kimberly - Or a dig when someone's a mother, not a grandmother.
Anon @ 3:40 - I'm not sure. If they don't have them up now, they might be waiting for the end of the season.
Kimberly - Just to note, you also posted it as Anonymous. I have no way of contacting you and with harassment issues going on here, all posts which even smell of harassment are going away. If you want your comments to remain, it's probably best to talk about the show and not other commenters.
You are right, Jackie. I have lost interest. I keep coming back to your blog. That is the ONLY thing intersting now with BB7. Who cares who wins . . . neither deserve it!
"She seemed drunk or dazed."
That sounds about typical for Janelle...how could you tell the difference?
Sorry...bad joke. I am so glad Janelle is not in the house. She deserves less that 3rd place, but I'll give her that....she didn't make it to 3rd.
As far as Mike and Erika...they are still in the house. Give them the credit that is due them please. Because, the same people downing them would be screaming at me to do the same for Janelle. If I HAVE to give Janelle respect for staying in the house so long, then YOU have to give Mike and Erika respect for being in the house still!
Be fair. If Janelle (an evicted houseguest!) deserves 25K, then Erika or Boogie deserves the big prize because they outplayed Janelle.
Don't be a hypocrite.
Anon 2:10 -- i think Will asked Erika what his nickname in the house was for his question, as Erika later was asking boogie what it was -- He said Dr. evil, and I think erkia though it was Puppetmaster...
Kimberly - Telling someone they look worn out and saying a young mother is a grandmother (all while posting anonymously) is NOT a compliment, no way no how. I won't argue this anymore.
Janelle should have won. She let herself be taken advantage of by Will and she should kick herself for that. Too bad Mike or Erika have to win. Neither deserves it.
I have to laff when we take will at his word as saying he tried to keep erika & janelle apart but it was too hard...mike shud've showmanced erika more...hello...remember when he kept erika & danielle apart..will, not mike, stayed in bed with erika all nite so that danielle cud not get to her...will had control at all times...if he had really wanted to keep erika & janelle apart, the wud've been apart...no doubt in my mind that something else happened...c'mon everyone, we saw will operate...one look at janelle & she is all "oh, will"...there was definately electricity between them...i hope we hear something about those 2 hooking up after the show...
Didn't Will have a couple of nicknames? I believe Marcellas calls him "dr. Ill"
Dr. Delicious is my favorite (stolen with a twist from Grey's Anatomy, most likely)
I can't believe I am going to say this but I agree with ABJ. No matter who is in the final 2, they deserve to be there. Time and time again I hear people say "so and so didn't play the game". There is many ways to play the game, not just Will and Janelle's OVERT strategy playing. History has told us that floating usually gets you the farthest. IF players continue to ignore that, decide on being outrageous, and then get booted, they aren't playing the best game.
I wanted Will to win. Hands down. Nobody even close for me, but his strong appearance got him the boot. Perhaps his weakness was letting others see his strength.
I don't really like Erika or Boogie, but they clearly did something correct to get where they are. With that said, I certainly wouldn't call Erika a puppetmaster and I do think Will helped Boogie (though, I think that really was Will's goal anyhow. I think he entered with the intention to help boogie win)
"Janelle should have won. She let herself be taken advantage of by Will and she should kick herself for that. Too bad Mike or Erika have to win. Neither deserves it."
Thats soooooo not the point. Janelle didn't win...she'll never win...she's not going to win....period. Time to move on.
Mike and Erika are the final two. One will win. They OBVIOUSLY outplayed Janelle since they are both still there. If Janelle had done what she should have done early in the game (stay loyal to S6, listen to James, vote out CT) she MIGHT have made it, although I don't think she could have won regardless of what she did.
Janelle isn't in the final 2. No amount of complaining is gonna change it. You don't have to like, but thats reality.
Dear Jackie,
I love your blog (and seriously did not even know what a "blog" was until someone told me about this site). Well, I will miss reading the daily updates so even though I was not planning on watching Survivor or Amazing Race this season (I have in past) I would like to just to be in on the fun of this blog. Question.... Which show are you more excited about??? I can only handle one after this grueling season of BB.
I am torn....point me in the right direction..anybody??
Thanks!
Meredith
anybodybut - I wasn't a huge Janelle fan, but I'd rather see "anybodybutmikeanderika" in the final two. Heck, even Alison! ;-)
Meredith - I really enjoy both Survivor and The Amazing Race about equally. I think Survivor might have an edge this season for me (at least once the tribes mix up) as it looks like they have possibly the strongest cast I've seen to date this season.
allrighteythen....back to BB Jackie gtreat job as usual...glad its almost over...looking forward to the Cook Islands with you and the rest of the panel here....
Janelle still rocks and I think has much more going for her than Scarika....
AnybodybutJanelle how odd that you think Boogie and Skarika deserve 1st and 2nd place because they made it there, but Janelle doesn't deserve 3rd by your same logic. You know if you were rejected by a gorgeous lady in real life it is really no reason to take it out on Janelle. Whatever! Calling Bitter party of one!
As much as I hate to admit it, Boogie and Erika won things when they needed to (HOH and POV, respectively) to be taken off the block and thanks to the way the ball bounced, I suppose deserve to be there. However, that doesn't diminish my disappointment over Janelle and Will NOT being in the final, since I think that they played the most consistently all season (Will with everyone's minds, Janelle in competitions -- and don't say she only won them bc everyone else threw them -- she actually gave an effort). I voted for George to win the 25K since everyone was so mean to him the whole season, and also hung in there despite how all the other children acted. Jackie, you again have enriched this season so much. Thank you for all of your hard work and late night/early morning postings. Can't wait to read your Survivor blog!
Witt
Hi Meredith -- I think you directed this question at anyone as well as Jackie -- I think you might watch the first (and second) episode of each and see what appeals to you. I have watched Survivor from the beginning and found it to be a great study of sociology and spychology.. in later shows, when people knew more about the game, it drew some less than palatable contestants (one year there were a bunch of too young, too pretty, lazy and complaining kids on one team, and it just seemed to take the spirit out of the game of hard work, teamplay, strategy and true survival in the wilderness) or one year -- Australia, where one team nearly starved to death and lost too many challenges for good TV. That said, even these seasons got good as the players whittled down and the layers of each week's goings-on got complex enough to stimulate the viewer. It had real physical and mental challenges, which is nothing like the BB stuff they do. You may like it for that. And Jeff Probst is a really great host, narrating comps and questioning folks at the weekly voting circle.
THis year they are starting by having an even set of teams of four different races (which I'm sure they will merge as 2 tribes within the first 2 shows) and it is going to be a lot of watercooler talk as a result. Could be fun for you to pick this one.
I've never really watched more than random eps. of TAR but this year decided I would, as it teams two of all kinds (grandparents, separated couples, mother/daughter etc..) and the tasks they give them are really difficult -- to race all over the world with basically no money, maps, really VERY little assistance from a production staff (or at least it looks like it). These folks also really have to work for it, and you are never bored to see all the nooks and crannies of the world covered each season. That's my 2 cents, though I bet Jackie's blog will make BOTH fun for us all! Can't wait Jackie!
I sure wish I was a die heart survivor fan so I could love Jackies blog even more. But I am only a BB fan, through and through.
GREAT JOB!
I am not a fan of either of the two finalists, I think Erica would of been okay if she would not have turned right back around to Mike, after the crap she figured out he did to her. To just make nicey nicey to him, yuch! I am glad they had a falling out, and I hope Mike's behavior follows him out of the house, because he's a DAWG! Not even good enough to be called a DOG. A Dawg walking upright, he's a guy I warned my girls about. Get what he can and toss them away. I hope he looses, I know its a game but it sure did show his personality. A BB fan from the beginining!
Jackie,
I was wanted to tell you how much I have enjoyed reading your blog. This is the first time that I have responded to this blog. I have been watching BB since the very beginning. The thought of either Mike or Erika being the last 2 in the house makes me sick. I don't think either one of them deserve to be there. I did not like the idea of Janelle winning it either. I didn't like her in S6 with the exception of Kaysar I didn't like that group. Howie makes my 14 year old look like a 40 year old in his maturity level. I would really like to say that I am sorry to Janelle for feeling so negativily against her. She did play a good game. It would of been awesome to see CG get to the finals and Danielle I thought was a strong player, but something happened and really turned me off on her play. Thanks Again Jackie for the fine work that you have done. Just want to know when the heck did you have time to sleep!!!!!!!!
Witt - I'll agree that Mike, in particular, really stepped up his game as the season played out. When he concentrated on winning comps, he could do it (despite Will's wanting them thrown). I think Erika can do comps, but to me the talking to Janelle was a bit of a no-brainer. She should have done it long before (or Janelle should have).
But, my own personal opinion of both Mike and Erika actually predates them stepping up the gameplay. I didn't like either in their own seasons - found Mike very rude, nasty and annoying and Erika almost a non-entity. I don't think either one should have qualified as any sort of "all star" in the first place.
So, now they're the final two. And, I'm reserving my right to be apathetic about whoever wins.
;-)
Orkmommy, you're not the same upbeat person any more. This game has gotten to you hasn't it? Don't worry, it will be over Tuesday! Until then, SMILE!!
Sydney - Nice insight on Survivor. And, might I mention, on both Survivor and The Amazing Race, there are hosts (Jeff Probst and Phil Keoghan) who are actually interested and seem to have a personal stake in the shows unlike Julie Chen who comes across as just hired help. Not to mention that, as a woman, I find them easy on the eyes.
Hey, I can be shallow now and then, can't I?
Anon 4:43 -- Actually, the weather here has turned cold and I think I'm getting sick. But I will try to smile :) Thanks for the concern...
I'm very ready for this show to be over so we can move onto something new. I hate the way CBS has handled this last week. It's drawing out wayyyyyy too long...
So...lots of people are talking about Will's House Calls interview. My new favorite Willism is at the end when he says "Ewe reap what ewe sew when you tell a Spool of Lies" in reference to how he played the game! I actually laughed out loud when I heard that! Is it sad that I enjoy watching a manipulative liar so much??
Totally off BB subject...
I think we all need to remember that this is Jackie's blog. She can do what she wants with it and she can even stop it if she so chooses. None of us has a "right" to post anything in these comment sections. If Jackie decides to start removing every 3rd post, it's her perogative. If she decides to start removing posts that don't agree with her opinion, that too is her right. She has created an open enviromnent where we can all talk game. Some, like me, can't talk about it anywhere else because nobody in our personal lives are addicted to reality tv like we are.
Thank you Jackie for your hard work and for making this community a fun one!
"AnybodybutJanelle how odd that you think Boogie and Skarika deserve 1st and 2nd place because they made it there, but Janelle doesn't deserve 3rd by your same logic. "
I really didn't understand this part of your post at first until I re-read my own. It should have said that I didn't think Janelle deserved 3rd place, but oh well, she made it to 3rd place and I have to give her credit for that. She's good enough for 3rd. I HAVE to give that to her because she MADE IT TO 3RD PLACE!
"You know if you were rejected by a gorgeous lady in real life it is really no reason to take it out on Janelle. Whatever! Calling Bitter party of one!"
Trust me, I'd be the one rejecting Janelle. I'd never even consider her. I'd like for my women to have a tiny tiny little bit of brain power. I don't like having to tell my women how to vote and what to do. I like for them to think for themselves. I like women who listen when I try to tell them when they're being played by CT.
The only think I'm bitter about is alllll thisss sickening Janelle love. Take off the Janelle goggles, her game is DONE. She out. With anyluck people will assume she's gonna win 25K and NOT vote for her. Give the money to someone else...anybodybutjanelle.
Dyersburg John,
I have checked your site every day but you have not posted since August 31st...you seem to have time to yank people's chains here..
What's up?
~SMH
ORKMommy,
I have enjoyed reading your Suoer O Blog..
(I haven't left a comment yet)
You seem like a very nice person
(any Janelle fan is OK in my books).
I enjoy reading your posts here also, as well as petals, her mom, etc...
this has become quite a family here...all families has a trouble maker or two..just as we have ours here!
Jackie, you are the best!
~SMH
Jackie thanks for the season - one thing that still gets me on this past HOH - I don't mind them falling and then competing in the next round, but to deliberate jump off like Mike did should've disqualified him for he made no effort to compete ,,, ya know he jumped off-he gave up so zip nada outta here.....
Denise
Have to agree with anon 4:28 about anybodybutJanelle. I just ignored him for he had nothing to say for all he did was slam the ladies.
Anybodybut...you have a right to your opinion and I respect that...but.....
How can you say that Janelle didn't deserve to win or win the 25,000? You say that she did whatever Will wanted...well, so does Mike...Mike didn't have a thought of his own, and the same goes for Erika...who listened to Mike. Neither of them played any better...they just got lucky with the last competition.
For the record..i Janelle was not picked as my favorite to win. But to say that she didn't think for herself...you make it sound like she was the only one who didn't. We get it..you don't even need to respond since it is very clear by your blog name about Janelle not winning.
For those of us who have enjoyed BB in the past, your observations on this show have been a MUST READ! At least we were able to read about some reality as opposed to not really seeing it. I agree-the final two contenders are a bust. The final four were a bust. It looked like the show was frequently over-produced and the results of comps skewed by the setups. Big disappointment.Good work, Jackie. Thanks.
Has will ever said he has a "girl" friend, or just he has "someone" on the outside. Erin is a boys name too.
For anonymous at 3:40...here are the viewer popularity results after week nine...Alison.18; Danielle 3; Diane .31; Erika 1.6; George 2.4; Howie 5; James 2.1; Janelle 37.1; Karsar 35.7; Jase .26; Marcellas .31; Nakomis .26 and Will 10.6. So the only popular houseguests were Janelle and Karsar with Will bringing up the rear about 20 points behind.
For those who can't stand the idea of tuning in to see which of the two skanks wins, you have a choice of the upbeat Dancing with the Stars or the excellent drama House. Both a far better choice than the downer of watching the grand finale of BB. We can read on Jackie's blog if Erika was America's Choice once again. Hope so.
The reason Will and Mike's "alliance" was different from "in house" alliances is that Will didn't make the cut either from the viewers or by CBS to even play. Will demanded that Mike be included or he said he wouldn't go into the house. CBS caved in to his demand. That meant a "team" entered the house with Will saying he wanted to "make it up to Mike" that he won their season by making sure he won this time.
I meant I hope Janelle wins America's Choice once again...
It was Mike who didn't make the cut...I'm sure that what you meant...
I am excited about seeing the All Star finale. I want to see the looks on the Jurys faces, as they Question the 2 finalest. I want to see my Favorite again... JANELLE.
I have a feeling she will get the most applause like when she came out for the Season 6 Finale.
There is a whole lot I want to see and hear. And, I never quit in the middle of any game, I won't start now.
They all entertained us for a few months. I at least owe them this much, show up for their Finale.
Like it or not, Boogie & Erika pulled it off, and are the Final two. The others should have stratigized differently if they wanted to Win...
{ as for sending the dollar to Janelle c/o CBS... for me it is not to make her Richer, it is to say to CBS, My family and I really like Janelle and want her to be on TV a lot more. } a letter would do. But the bucks pouring in has a nice impact.

Where have you been? This has been posted several times...
Erin Brodie was the winner of a show called'For Love Or Money'
She was on it twice and ended up winning a couple million$
It has been widely know that she & Will have been dating for quite a while although rumors say she has dumped him since his "Shomance" with Janelle.
Loneseven -- Don't be too hard on Anybodybutjanelle. He's not a bad guy. Most of what he posts is for the shock value and to get people to think. I do think he has gone a bit overboard and his posts sound more like "hate" for Janie. He used to be so innocent ;) Don't worry...I'll talk to him and get him to chill out before we move onto another show :)
I'm sure you're not old or burnt out. However, if you feel that way I'm sure Petals had something to do with it! That girl is a handful! (ha ha)
Will you be sticking around with us for Survivor and TAR? If not, I'll remind your daughter to call you at least once a week!!
I have to join in agreement with everyone who is left wanting more from our Summer Show. If BB were a popularity contest Janelle and Will would duke in the F2. But, this game has no rules...this year doesn't even seem to have the regular contract past seasons have. But it isn't popularity...it isn't even about being liked in the house or by the other hgs, because getting any kind of TV attention makes a hg a target to get evicted. It is a mean, nasty game. One I happen to enjoy watching, so that says a lot about my entertainment criteria. : )
But, if it is a mean and nasty game of ego-driven people, then maybe the right F2 are there. And aren't we all watching to see just how mean and nasty they will be to each other when push comes to shove (I hope not literally!) in the last speech of the game. Isn't that when Boogie is planning to make clear to Erica he doesn't want her around. And Erica is planning on saying the Boogie is too stupid to win because she is the Mastermind of the game? Then again, Can it really be fun to watch balloon heads deflate in front of their friends and family. Or do they care as long as they get the big bucks? Not a nice game. Thank you Jackie, you kept it nice and fun to watch! Mary
John look back you did write :

Jackie, I totally agree with your assessment of both contestants. When the season preview aired on CBS of the possible All-Stars I never in my wildest dreams thought they would be voted in, by the viewers or the producers. The way they treat others and talk about others really bothers me. I'll watch Tuesday to see who gets the AC award...and to see how the questioning goes. :)

Anyone for a blogmance?
9/10/2006 7:03 PM
I rather read Anybodybutjanelle/Harold over & over & over, your blogs so popular theres so many comments @@
Psych heheheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Vote for Anybody he's a cutie!
The best "penance" for the unpleasant behavior of the F2 is to have to endure five whole days in each other's company. Karma. So much for the shomance, romance, BB baby, etc. By the time they get away from one another they'll never want to see each other again. And just wait until Erika sees Mike's comments in the diary room...and if Erika has any friends, they may even tell her about the live feeds and how much worse his comments were there.
For those of us who will be Dancing with the Stars Jackie, please update and let us know if our girl Janelle takes home the $25,000 CBS decided to toss our way so we'd watch the finale.
If this game were fixed as Ive read from so many of you... Will and Jani would be in the final 2 .. which I would love to watch.. cbs doesnt want these two in the finals anymore than the rest of us .. hate to say this .. but many of you sound like children who didnt get their way .. stomping, and yelling.. and running to your rooms.. adult real life .. just because we dont get we want doesnt mean its fixed .. sheesh
Hi Jackie, I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your blog. You made the show much more interesting than it would have been otherwise. This is the first season I watched BB and the first time I read your blog. Thanks for everything!
I too am disappointed by the F2 and I wasn't going to watch but now I want to see Janelle rip into Erika and Boogie too.

anon 6:36.
If you implying that Will is dating an Aaron, not an Erin you are misled. It is well known fact he is dating Erin Brodie who is very much a female. She was a reality star winner herself
Anon 6:47,
We don't know that Will didn't make the cut. Everyone is assuming that the top 8 went in and the producers picked from the remaining less popular guests. It COULD have been the producers picked ones they definitely wanted in the house, and then top 8 remaining ones were chosen from the remainder of the list.
For example, If the producers Picked Will BEFORE going to the viewer list, it's possible that he was #1 among viewers, so they looked at #2 then.
People are making assumptions that Danielle, George, Will, and Mike would not have been voters choices when we have no idea where they truly ranked on the list.
Does that make sense?
Also, everyone had equal chances to form an alliance pre-house (which many admit to doing)
Also, the alliance was sooo obvious, it's the HG's own darn fault for not breaking it up immediately. I do not think they had an unfair advantage. In fact, their known alliance made them have an unfair target on their backs, IMO.
IMO, everyone had the same advantage. Everyone had targets on them for various reasons
Nakomis, Will, Danielle= known to be smart
Season 6--big alliance.
CG--too nice
"I just ignored him for he had nothing to say for all he did was slam the ladies"
Oh, so now Janelle is "all the ladies..." hahahahah...too funny...
No, I haven't slammed all the ladies. I liked Danielle. Diane was ok with me. Allison was ok with me.
NEXT:
"James was NEVER loyal."
Maybe I'm confused, but I don't remember him ever doing anything until Janelle refused to listen to him about how CT was playing S6 (he was right by the way..)
"They all wanted to evict S6. It was NEVER to evict CT first, it was ALWAYS S6."
No...CT planted that seed with Danelle. CT organized the entire thing. Turn S6 against floaters....turn floaters against S6.
"They ALL used CT to get out S6 and CT used everyone to do their dirty work by causing rift between the floaters and S6 to take all eyes off of CT. "
Nobody used CT. CT used everybody.
"They're all to blame. Everyone of them who were evicted had CTs hand in it. "
I agree...but some of you guys are worshiping any else...you're all focused on how good a player Janelle is. THATS MY POINT...she's no better than anyone else who got played....Janelle lasted longer...I give her credit. Erika finally told her she was being played and she voted the way Erika wanted. She got 3rd place..I give her credit. But she didn't win. She got played.
"Blame Janelle all you want ABJ, but CT played everyone of them."
Thats my TOTAL point. They were ALL played. Janelle is not better than the rest of them. I personally think she's worse because she was decieved the most.
However, I give her credit. She got to 3rd place with a huge target on her back.
I can't stand James. He's a creep. Why is he so mad at Janelle? He was the slimeball playing both sides. And...Danielle?!?! Why wasn't she mad at Erika for voting out James?
I never did get that one. Danielle was so mad at Will, but not at Erika. I hope the public sends in so many votes to not let either one of the two left win. Especially Boogie. He was such a bad sport after Will left. It was scary to see the anger he had in him. I hope it comes out in the news that he was arrested and I hope he gets kicked off the show forever!!!
Thanks for your updates Jackie!
