'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Mornin' Bits 7/26

<----- On the feeds, Diane attempts to make herself beautiful. Will it work? Stay tuned!

Um. Never mind.

Today's voting day in the house, generally a fairly quiet kind of day. The houseguests aren't allowed to discuss their actual votes with other houseguests, so we don't hear the real deal.

But, we hear a lot in between the lines.

Here are the morning newsy tidbits from the Big Brother House Malingering Media Hounds:

• Today's wake-up song came fairly early (for them), a little after 9 AM PT. It was Nelly's "It's Hot In Here (So Take Off All Your Clothes)."
• George and Danielle told Will they'd abide by whatever he wants them to vote.
• In a talk with Mike, Will said they'll put up two S6 players if they win HOH. His next act will be going for a DOR - a voluntary exit from the show. After they break up S6, they'll take two of them into ChillTown. [Editor's note: Howie and...? I'm not sure. I think they honestly like Kaysar better than James. I know they don't like Janelle.]
• Will thinks Erika is the liaison between the floaters and S6.
• James fussed to Erika that this week didn't feel like it was HIS HOH at all - the group (S6) made all of the decisions, not him.
• Jase knows that he's the target and will most likely go home.
• Mike told Jase that Will was even playing him with the "I want to go home" bit. [Editor's note: Suuure, Mike. @@ You get the eyeroll!]
• Mike Boogie and Will were talking about how Kaysar had to go. They said he secured a place in the Final 4, but blew it by trying to run everything.

And, that's just about it for now. Remember, if you missed last night's possibly best show in Big Brother history, you can find it available online at CBS.com and the Will POV speech can be seen at AOL's TV Top 5!.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Digest - Evening/Overnight Into Wed. 7/26

Last night's show was a hit with the fans. Let's see the action keep on rollin'! Let's see shake-ups, blow-ups and not so many throw-ups! Part of the fun of the show is tension in the house and watching how the houseguests interact with each other. Last night was a winner.

But, what has happened in the house since then? Is Jase going to sway the votes to stay today? Or, will Will be the one to remain? Only time will tell. The houseguests cast their votes in the Diary Room today, but aren't allowed to discuss them with the other houseguests. So, on the feeds we can only pick up the general sentiment about how the voting may play out.

Here are the newsy tidbits from the late night/overnight hours in the Big Brother House of Baldies and Bustos:

• BB gave the houseguests more booze with their feast again. If I were in the house, I'd refrain from the alcohol. Loose lips sink ships and all, y'know.
• George napped in the hammock as the rest of the houseguests chowed down. Poor Georgie! Will repeatedly asked BB to let them give George food, but BB didn't answer.
• In a study session between Howie and Janelle, they used the question: "Howie got stung by a bee before or after Jase got evicted?" -- That makes it look like they're still planning to vote out Jase.
• Janelle told Howie that Erika still was after Chicken George when he told her that he was glad George was off the radar.
• Danielle hinted to Marcellas that Will could win it all if he stays. She's still working for Jase.
• Howie ran around the yard singing "Will and Boogie threw Jase under a bus."
• Jase, Will and Mike Boogie are onto Danielle and think she's worked her way into S6, Chilltown and the Floaters. They say she runs the house. [Editor's note: They're right. She's playing the best game of anyone, but her tongue may still knock her out.]
• Erika wants to keep Will in the game.
• Diane claims she hasn't made up her mind yet and is flip-flopping on her vote.
• Jase and Diane talked about how much they both dislike Janelle. Jase got drunk and was quasi-obnoxious on and off through the evening.
• Danielle had an odd discussion with Will and Mike Boogie in the storage room. She told them that if her butt goes on the line, she expects them to save her, Jase thinks she's trying to save him and not to use her name when talking to Diane about the vote. [Editor's note: Say what? So, now she's working with them? Or not? Who's on first?]
• James is still pushing the Jase Stay Agenda. Will it work?
• Jase made a deal with S6 that if he stays and wins HOH, he will put Mike Boogie and a floater on the block. He also wouldn't go after any of them until after sequester. They shook hands. [Editor's note: Of course, the deal is null and void if he goes home. They only agreed IF he stays.]
• Marcellas is convinced that if Jase stays, he will go after him. He wants Jase gone.
• Even the Floaters are divided on the vote... although two main floaters - Erika and Marcellas - are targets of Jase with Danielle on his radar to a lesser extent.
• Boogie is on a Save Will Because He Doesn't Want To Be Here agenda.
• Will told the S6 Players that he doesn't want this season to be a repeat of his own where everyone was bitter and mad at each other. He wants a truce and is okay with going home this week. [Editor's note: PuppetMaster Alert! Man the battle stations!]
• Kaysar, Janelle and Howie all want Jase out and think something is going on with Danielle and James. [Editor's note: Um, maybe the pre-show phone calls and... deals? James = Snake. Danielle = One of the best players ever in the game.]
• Kaysar is sure the Mr. and Mrs. Smith Alliance exists (Jase, Diane).
• Danielle told Mike Boogie that Will doesn't have the votes to stay. Hmmm... now she's working the Save Jase agenda with Mike? Weird approach.
• Then the floaters and S6 (including Danielle?) agreed that Jase has to go. I'm getting dizzy just watching the revolving minds here!
• Will admitted to Diane that he is there to play the game. [Editor's note: As I knew all along.]
• S6 doesn't know what to say to Jase and think he will act out and make a spectacle of himself.
• Howie saved Kaysar's hair to sell on Ebay. Kaysar told him that was creepy and he should throw it out.
• Now, after being up all night, all are sleeping and the consensus of the moment is that Jase will be voted out by the majority of the house. That could change with the wind, though. Stay tuned!

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Update and A Bit O' Show Talk - 7/25

Tonight's show was certainly more interesting than the feeds have been today. So, even though I don't normally recap the show here (as most of it is already covered in the feeds reports), I want to touch on a few show events and other "schtuff."

The first thing I want to mention is how touching the Howie/George talk came across. I had mentioned that talk in one of my entries -- where I said that George warned Howie to be aware of the snake (James). I'm glad the producers thought the same snake. Hey, call me what you want, but I have a bit of a soft spot for both Howie and George. They're like kids at heart and I think both probably have very good hearts. So, goofy and silly and sometimes nerve-wracking, I like 'em. There. I said it.

And, we found out why the feeds were blocked for so long before and after the POV Ceremony. We only heard about Jase's tantrum after the event. Oh, my! Now, of course, he's trying to worm his way out of things and swing the vote. I personally hope it doesn't work. I truly believe that Will has a plan and an act for this season and, though it may be a threat to others I might enjoy, I want to see where Will goes with it.

Jase? He's explosive, not sneaky enough to be a good sneak and, other than looking at his abs, I really wouldn't miss him. The graphic in this entry was done by my AOL buddy Zoetawny (thank you!) and makes a reference to an ongoing joke thread about Jase on one of the AOL message boards. It was started in Jase's original season by clueless person who actually thought Jase was a hero firefighter -- when in actuality he joined a volunteer corps to make it look good. The posters on the board have been determined to make the "JACE IS A HERO FIREFIGHTER" the longest message board thread in the history of Big Brother. It's still going today after two years. I didn't care much for Jase when I first saw him, I don't care much for him now. Please let him be the one gone this week!

Watching the actual POV comp tonight, I saw that Kaysar had trouble with his ear the moment he came out of the blueberry tub. So, there was his medical emergency. It had to be a blueberry in his ear, not any sort of contagious infection despite both Mike and Howie having ear woes. I see, for all his fussing, James did NOT give up his right to compete in POV next week. The way he whined and moaned, I thought it was gone. All the fussing was because he "couldn't protect his nomination choices" had he continued. @@ He gets the eyeroll from me. Does he think he can win every POV? And, if anyone else wins it, he really can't make them use it or not. Snake.

Okay, to the live feeds from the house today:

• George went to sit in a chair and fell. No, I don't have video, but folks may want to see if Hamsterwatch.com picked up on it and put it on YouTube.
• Lots of talk about various TV shows, previous BBs and such. Yawn. Next!
• James told Kaysar that Danielle told him that George told her (following that?) that he's going to vote to evict Will because he doesn't like the way Will treats him. [Editor's note: I don't recall that conversation. It could be either Danielle or James himself trying to stir the pot. It could have happened. I don't know. I have an alibi.]
• Howie got stung on the leg by a bee.
• Danielle told Jase that she was going to talk to Kaysar to try to get them to vote out Will.
• Will thinks America hates people who take themselves too seriously. He thinks they (CT) are popular because they're "mean." Boogie doesn't quite agree.
• Some of the HG worked out. Yawn. Next!
• James is on a Vote Out Will kick and tries to work it on Howie. Once again, the World's Greatest Alliance (cough) is all over the map and not sticking to their original plan to save Will.
• James once again pushes the "floaters" theory while pushing to vote out Will. Now, recently it dawned on me what I think of everytime I hear these HG talk about floaters. Tim Curry as Pennywise the Clown in Stephen King's IT. "Georgie, we ALL float down here. Wouldn't you like to float, too?"
• I'd like to see an Evil Clown show up in the house and suck a few of these houseguests away for a bit to shake them up more.

Later!

'BB7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Update - Screen Caps - Ho-hum Morning 7/25

<--- A bald bored Kaysar listens as James drones on and on about politics and war. Kaysar told James more than a few times that he'd have to study to have an informed opinion. But, to me, it sounds like James feels he himself is an expert. I don't think he's interested in anyone's opinion but his own.

The house has been relatively quiet with the houseguests once again sleeping in. They have to stop staying up all night!

Oh! And, while I'm quasi-ranting here... Danielle LIED on the show the other day! You heard me. She lied. Which lie, you ask? She does not get up at 7 or so every morning. Yes, she's the "early riser" in the house, but usually it's well after 8 AM their time, many days well after 9. Can I get an eyeroll from everyone?

This morning's big thrill is a toss-up. Either it's George's invention of "milk" for himself (instant creamer) or the weight scale the HG had. Apparently, George has lost more than a few pounds, down to 212.

Exciting, huh? Well, Jase is tailoring a t-shirt for his own devious nefarious deeds.

Notice they give them childrens' scissors with the rounded ends. So, if Jase or Will decide to run with scissors, no one will put an eye out.

In other news, the upstairs HOH bathroom is still pretty much off limits since last night's tub flooding. BB should send them the repair bill. I've had upstairs neighbors like that.

About the only game talk was James voicing his concerns to Kaysar about Janelle and Marcellas.

A few more things:
One commenter asked what penalty nominations are. They're a punishment for misbehavior in the house that isn't serious enough to be an automatic boot from the game (like the Justin/Krista knife incident in Season 2 or 3, whichever). I've seen penalty noms often threatened, but never utilized by BB. If used, that person would be up on the block like a regular nomination.

I will soon be having the opportunity to interview BB's Executive Producer Arnold Shapiro and would like to have input on what you'd like to know about him or the show. Now, keep in mind, I don't want to alienate the man, nor be nasty to him. That's just not my style. But, feel free to submit questions you have and I'll try my best to include some in the interview. The interview itself will be conducted next week.

Thanks again to all the readers and commenters here. You guys rock!

'Big Brother: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Late Night/Overnight Into 7/25

Big Brother has a plan -- take a Chicken George, an angry Jase, a defensive James, a bunch of drunks, and one sober Muslim, shake 'em up and set 'em loose on each other. Heck, BB may as well just put the puppet strings on them as the alcohol does its thing.

But, wait... we have the original Puppet Master (Will) in the house. Who's manipulating whom? Right now, it's a bit hard to tell.

Here are the evening and overnight happenings from that Big Brother House of Ever Lovin' Fun and Adventure:

• I'm starting off with a personal opinion. (Hey, I can do it, right?) No matter what else you can say about Chicken George, he hasn't a mean bone in his body. Even when he says he's mad, you can tell it will blow over before he blows up. He's not a plotter and a schemer, but just a plodder plodding his way through the house.
• Jase, on the other hand, is still sure he has been backdoored despite how many times he's told otherwise. He's upset, bitter and nasty. He thinks Chilltown manipulated him.
• Jase confronted James about being backdoored by him... again. I could smell the testosterone from here.
• Will complained about the food... again.
• Marcellas told Jase he was playing it all wrong and should calm down. Jase didn't like Marcellas giving him advice. Snap, snap, meow.
• Many houseguests, including Marcellas, told Jase he has to take responsibility for his own behavior in the house and that is why he's on the block.
• Several of the now somewhat inebriated HG got together reenacting the POV Ceremony. Apparently, George was the announcer. When he spoke about the veto, he went on about getting a second chance and being appreciative. Will spoke about hating them all because he hated himself. Jase went on about being a corporate man with a family. We'll see how much of the enactment is on the spot tonight.
• Kaysar refused to take part when asked to play George. He said he doesn't like making fun of others.
• I have to admit that Mike Boogie did George pretty well.
• They got ahold of whipped cream and did some spraying and licking. @@
• Newest exposure of a pre-show alliance? Mike Boogie and Erika talked about their alliance. Dang! Is there anyone other than Chicken George not involved in a pre-season alliance?
• Janelle told Erika that Mike is cuter than Josh (season 1, Erika's ex-boyfriend). [Editor's note - @@ - the eyeroll...I say not!]
• Erika told Mike she won't be voting Will out. She said she won POV that week to save both Mike and Will.
• Now James is talking how many votes they need to save JASE. Hey, what happened to WILL being the one to stay?
• Jase thinks Mike and Will had a precise plan prior to entering the house and he's working on everyone to get the votes to stay.
• Jase thinks that Will is here to win the game and that he's playing them all with his complaining that he wants to go home. [Editor's note: Gee, Jase, y'think? About time someone thought that way!]
• Jase told James that if he remains in the house, he will not target Janelle or the S6 Players... or Danielle or Diane. [Editor's note: Um... that leaves Marcellas, George and Chilltown (or what's left of CT - Boogie).]
• S6 is in a dilemma between Will and Jase. They think Will is indeed playing the game, but Jase has already lied to them. He jumped ship on alliances twice this season so far. Can he be trusted? They think not.
• Danielle and James had a talk about what a hardcore player Janelle is and that she will do anything to win. They both think Kaysar only sees the good in people he likes.
• They managed to overflow the upstairs bathtub and damage the ceiling below.
• Mike told Janelle that if he wins HOH, one of them (S6) and Kaysar is going up and Kaysar would be staying. He implied the someone would be her or Marcellas.
• Janelle dared him to do it.
• Away from her, Mike trashtalked Janelle (with lots of bad language!) to anyone who'd listen.
• Janelle told Marcellas that Mike was trying to sabotage their relationship.
• If Janelle planned on riling up Mike, it worked. He ranted and raved for a long, long time about her. [Editor's note: He's not a nice man. This guy has a meaner streak than Jase when he gets going! He even threatened violence.]
• Meanwhile... Will, Kaysar and Erika were discussing politics and work ethic. [Editor's note: Well, that's boring... back to Raving Boogie...!]
• Janelle regarding Mike: "I said I was going after floaters. I lied. I'm going after HIM."
• Mike, on the other hand, was just getting disgusting with both his mouth and his behavior. He urinated in a bottle and said he was going to pour it on Janelle.
• Kaysar thinks Danielle is working James to sway him to keeping Jase. Janelle and Kaysar think it would be smarter for them to keep Will.
• They're snuggled in their beds and soon the antics will start up all over again.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Since POV Ceremony 7/24

As pictured in my screen cap in my last entry, Jase will sit in the nomination chair alongside Will on Thursday night.

George did indeed save his own butt with the POV. Jase was put up in his place.

Here are the events from the House of Falling Cards:

• The house is in a somber mood. Jase apparently acted out, threw a fire extinguisher, called Marcellas out and more when nominated.
• Will, Mike and Jase tried to figure out the least damage they could do to get a penalty nomination.
• Janelle told Marcellas it was just an emotional outburst Jase had taken out on him. Marcellas is shaking and quivering... and mad.
• Danielle sweet-talked Jase and made it sound like she's the most compassionate and considerate woman in the world. [Editor's note: Work it, Danielle!]
• Jase feels he was backdoored even though Danielle and Mike both tried to explain a backdoor is a planned event and this wasn't planned.
• One of the tarantulas is molting and shedding its skin. [Editor's note: Well, I think that's important!]
• James fussed and moaned about being put in the position to take the heat. [Editor's note: Well, you wanted HOH, right?]
• Jase wants to go home. Will wants to go home. Mike says he's in an alliance with Both Want To Leave.
• Jase knows the plan was to save Will when it was Will and George. He's sure he's the target and wants to give up playing.
• George tried to calm Jase down and pep talk him a bit, but when Jase asked him if he'd vote for him to stay, he wouldn't commit.
• Mike is trying to work (or slime) his way into the S6 alliance, but they don't trust him. They didn't tell him that, of course.
• Jase and Kaysar talked and claimed mutual respect. Jase told him if he stayed, he'd target the floaters. [Editor's note: It's beginning to sound like a mantra -- ohhhmmm, targetthefloaters, ohhhmmm.]
• Both Jase and Kaysar said their mothers told them not to get involved with Dr. Will.
• Jase told Kaysar that Janelle should go from S6... and he could take her place! [@@]
• Jase asked Erika for her vote and she refused to commit.
• Kaysar told George he now has respect for him and knows he's there to play the game. [@@ - at Kaysar now. I mean, I like the guy okay, but...! There's no reason to treat George like he's stupid. He's odd. He's goofy. He's out of his element. But I don't think he's dumb. Should he be treated like some sort of puppy dog?]
• As he complimented him, Kaysar also pried George for info. James and Kaysar try to take George into their web. George played along, but is he really?
• James doesn't think George is evil anymore. So, maybe it was an honest attempt to reach out to him. But... he is a floater.
• James, Kaysar, Erika and Marcellas talked about how violent and scary Jase was when nominated. Erika said she felt safe because he wouldn't go after a woman. Earlier, George had asked Kaysar and James if Jase really did it or did he do it for TV. Me? I think a mix of both.
• Jase trashtalked Will to Diane and Danielle in an effort to get their votes.
• Jase also did a shout-out to his mother telling her she was right.
• Jase feels totally betrayed by James because they had a deal.
• Jase thinks that Will manipulated all of the events and sucked him into Chilltown just so he would be a target.
• Things have calmed down now to the point where the houseguests keep singing Cumbaya. For some odd reason, the feeds aren't blocking on that song. They should. It's creeping me out.

Later!

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Update - POV Ceremony Confirmed

<--- The feeds came back on to Will and Jase sitting in the nomination chairs. Marcellas confirmed it. Jase is on the block with Will. It's a somber house. I'll update a bit later this evening once they give me fodder to write up!

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Bulletin - POV Ceremony

The new nomination in lieu of Chicken George is... Mike Boogie... no, Jase...

Okay, the feeds were blocked a while and just returned and as I type this, it's still not certain. So, I'll keep blabbing along here until one of the houseguests slips up and definitely names the new nomination.

So, here I am typing. It sounds like Jase could actually be up on the block from what James is saying. He's worried that the floaters are going to come after them. Whoever it is, they told him. Hmmm... the talk is not to split Chilltown, but get the floaters against them (Chilltown). The talk is of sending Jase home, so it seems that's the case.

Ah, now James is saying that Jase voided the deal in the first place.

I'm going to go with the nominees are: Jase and Will, with the target being Jase.

If I'm wrong, I'll retract if I hear different. But they're talking the certain votes to remove Jase, so I'll go with it.

Update added 4:20 PM ET -- It seems the POV Ceremony has not taken place. We had extended flame/clouds and the talk above. Apparently, James told Mike Boogie that he was putting up Jase. However, the actual ceremony might be going on now. I'll say I predict Jase at this time, but it's not done and over with until the Chicken sings. Or something like that. I'll keep you updated.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Up All Night Sun-Mon

<--- A bald Chicken George, now looking more than ever the part of a janitor, thinks about 101 Things You Can Do With Slop. He now realizes the move he made to win the Power of Veto isn't going to be easy. Meanwhile, Danielle's been helpful to him by encouraging him to go on. And, then there's Howie... "Oh, Georgie! You can do it, Georgie! You're a Jedi!"

Is Big Brother ever going to make these people sleep at night? This season is the worst yet in regard to the houseguests staying up until dawn! Other years, the producers enforced a lights out time. If they don't do something soon, the HG will all be sleepwalking through the competitions. Last night was a night of meetings and strategies in the Big Brother House of Boisterous Buffoons and Flittering Floaters:

• Will and Mike had an extended meeting with James and Kaysar in the HOH room (screen cap below). They pushed for Marcellas to be put on the block... like Janelle will let that happen! Will/Mike claims they want to work with S6, not against them. They want the floaters targeted. It seemed like they were talking forever, but not really saying much. They tried prying for information on how cohesive S6 is, but Kaysar and James played the meeting fairly well. Will the push for the Marcellas boot work? Will he be the target and not another member of Chilltown? I guess we'll see.
• Will/Mike said they would not put up Kaysar or James if they get HOH.
• Outside of the room later, both groups said they didn't really trust the other group. Good. They shouldn't.
• Will says he still wants to go home before sequester. If, by chance, it's him and Mike on the block, he will campaign for Mike to stay in the house.
• Mike Boogie told Kaysar/James that Marcellas was talking about them (S6 males, not Janelle) as a threat.
• Will said he made a deal with the producers that he'd only be on the show if Mike Boogie was on it. [Editor's note: And I'd like to see him stuck on the show with Mike Boogie gone!]
• Mike Boogie said that he wants to join forces with the S6 Players if Will goes home this week. [Editor's note: @@ Sure, he does!]
• When Howie stopped by the room, Will asked him if he was ready to go on the block. Howie faltered for a moment, then smiled.
• When the meeting ended, James and Kaysar told Janelle that Chilltown wants Marcellas out. No way, she insisted.
• Now Kaysar is changing his floater tune and saying a Chilltown must go.
• Marcellas pushed Janelle and James to put Jase on the block, as did Danielle to a lesser extent. Erika and Diane remained true floaters, telling James that they'll abide by his choice (as long as it's not them). Erika admitted to "leaning towards Jase" but that was all she'd say.
• Kaysar thinks Marcellas is a loose cannon in the game and seems to be not overly thrilled that Janelle is so close to him.
• James wants to put up Mike Boogie while the floaters and Janelle make the case for Jase. James doesn't seem to be entertaining the notion of Jase going up at all. Not at all. [Editor's note: Can you say pre-show alliance? I thought you could!]
• Meanwhile, at the pool, Jase is pretty confident thant Mike Boogie will go on the block, not himself. [Editor's note: I think I'm going to call the Jase/James alliance the SS -- Slimy Snakes!]
• Danielle and Diane seem to be successfully playing both sides. How long before they're called out on it?
• Marcellas tells all he knows to Danielle. [Editor's note: Once again, I feel I need to mention that Danielle is the one to watch in this game. Yeah, she screwed up the first week, but I think right now she's the smartest player in the game.]
• Diane fussed that S6 never gets her involved in conversations. [Editor's note: Well, duh! There's a reason, Mrs. Smith!]
• For a while, James entertained the idea of putting up Erika or Marcellas.
• No one, not Chilltown or S6, has a grasp on Erika. That's not so good for her because neither group trusts her. They feel she's a wild card.
• Will keeps singing so BB will yell at him (and block the feeds).
• James is still on his "the producers rigged this game" kick.
• At one point when Howie entered the HOH room, he was told they decided to break up the Jedi Alliance and put them both on the block. Once again, it took him a moment to get it and laugh.
• Mike Boogie tried to sell his Evict Marcellas (or even Jase) Plan to Howie, then ran and reported back to Will.
• S6 think they have the votes to evict Mike Boogie - their three votes, Erika and Danielle. They won't ask Marcellas because he'd just rant that he wants Jase on the block.
• S6 keeps going back and forth between Jase and Boogie being put up in George's place. The final decision is Mike. No, wait... Jase. No, Mike. [Editor's note: I personally don't think Jase will go up as I feel there is indeed some sort of pre-show agreement or alliance with James. It's his decision at the end and he'll choose Mike Boogie, I say. If it wouldn't alienate Janelle, I think he'd put up Marcellas. But it's too early in the game to blow his cover with S6.]

All are now sleeping. The POV Meeting should be later today and the suspense will be over.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Sunday 7/23

We needed this, we really did. The show was lacking something, but I couldn't put my finger on it.

And, there it was. George as the POV winner to take himself off the block and force James into nominating a non-safe choice. Now, that's finger-lickin' good chicken!

George hasn't committed to removing himself from the block on an official basis, mind you. The Power of Veto Ceremony hasn't been held yet. But, trust me, George may be a clown, but he's no fool. He won't pull a Marcellas.

The POV shake-up has rattled the house. I mean, George? Win something? Who woulda thunk it, eh? Here are today's bits and pieces of the live feeds events in the House of Wannabe Chicken Pluckers:

• Danielle started to say something about James calling her pre-season and we got flame/clouds (with bad music). I think they've got something going on betwixt 'em.
• Mike Boogie also talked to James pre-season. Both said he called them. The plot thickens.
• George is worried that his hair won't grow back in and he'll be really bald. He asked about the hair regrowth products. [Editor's note: This is someone who's practically killed his hair with dye over the last several years -- yellow, green.]
• George looks so much older this season than he does in my memories of Season 1. Kind of sad. Oh, no! I probably look older,too! EEK.
• Danielle, Howie and even Mike Boogie tried to peptalk George.
• Mike Boogie and Will are very worried that Mike will be put on the block in George's place.
• Will messed around hanging off the spiral staircase until the Voice of BB spoke: "Will, no climbing!" A few minutes later, BB: "Hey! I said to knock that off, Will!" [Editor's note: I love it when the BB voice gets away from its regular "put your microphone on" taped announcements.]
• Marcellas predicted than no one will escape nomination this season.
• Janelle told Marcellas that Howie slept with Jennifer in sequester last season. "Oh, and don't tell anyone!" [Editor's note: Don't tell anyone except the entire Internet, that is. @@ - deserves the Eye Roll 1st Appearance of this entry.]
• Will saved a cricket in the swimming pool and was thrilled with his good deed. "I did something NICE! Look! Me! I did something NICE!"
• James complained that the game is fixed. Again. And still.
• Marcellas, Jase and Mike Boogie were called to the Diary Room at the same time. Hmmm... rapping. Well, there's a spoiler for you! They will do a Diary Room Rap. @@
• Will had a long talk with Janelle, working his agenda. He told her how much he misses his patients, his practice, his girlfriend, etc. Oh, he wants to go home! Or... does he? Is it an act?
• Diane and Howie plan to have a fake marriage, with the vows to be taken tonight.
• Will reported back to Mike (and Jase) that Janelle's not as dumb as she looks and he got nothing from her. Heh. Score one for the Buxom Blonde!
• Will wondered if James and Marcellas have a secret alliance. [Editor's note: @@ - oil and water, those two! But... it would be perfect, wouldn't it?]

That's the skinny from today so far!

BB7 - Kaysar Finally Up and Still Bald - Live Feeds Screen Cap

At about 2 PM their time, Kaysar finally got up to eat. One of the girls told him it looked like it was growing in some.

Not too much happening in the house so far today as some slept way past noon.

One cameraman seems to like Mike Boogie and keeps shooting him.

George isn't too happy with his diet of Slop, but he won't give up, nor will he hide in his room... he says.

Howie said that the houseguests in sequester were told about Katrina last season.

Will is worried his girlfriend will leave him.

Chilltown wants a meeting with James.

There are the Quickie Feeds of the moment for you!

Kaysar, Bald and Sleeping Marcellas Screen Cap

There he is, folks.

Snicker.

Hey, they're hiding Kaysar, what can I say?

For a Kaysar Baldie screen cap, go to this entry.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Digest - Overnight Into Sunday 7/23

Lucky George, he won POV and can keep himself in the game. Poor George, as the rest of the house basically ignores him and he sits off by himself. About the only other houseguest showing him any attention or friendliness is Howie. "Oh, Georgie!" Does George care that the others don't seem to like him at all? On one level, I'm sure he cares. On another level, I think he's thinking of the money at the end of the game. Does he have a shot? Well, it certainly would be an interesting outcome, wouldn't it?

Here are the more important events and/or bits that caught my attention in the feeds from the late night and overnight hours in that Big Brother House of Baldies and a Buxom Blonde oh... and a Blue Boy or Two:

• Kaysar returned from receiving medical care for his ear. He immediately went to go for a nap.
• The houseguests received a huge Japanese feast for the evening.
• James kept on whining that he's been literally wiped out of the show because he can neither compete for HOH not POV next week (due to the events in this week's POV).
• Mike Boogie and Will talked strategy. Neither plan on putting Kaysar on the block. Will's ready to go home. [Editor's note: Will's been ready to go home since he got there. Me? I'd rather see Boogie leave and Will stay. They want "good TV." That would be more interesting TV for me!]
• Jase plotted against Janelle with Mike and Will. He wants her gone and they think Marcellas is very loyal to her.
• Marcellas thinks that the replacement nom will be either Jase or Mike Boogie. [Editor's note: So do I, but we're talking James. He made a deal with Jase and some evidence points to having a pre-show alliance. Will he put up Mike? Possibly.]
• If James says that the next HOH will be a belly-flop contest geared for George to win one more time, I will reach through my monitor and throttle him. It was HIS choice to keep going in the POV Comp. Will and Mike gave up and quit before the first event (eating bowl of BB Slop). He chose to go on, now he's whining. Marcellas has it right. It wasn't geared TO George. It was for whoever wanted it the most. That ended up being George.
• George spent most of the evening sitting by himself. :-(
• Mike Boogie claimed he spoke about the veto comp in a monotone in his DR session so they wouldn't air it. BB: "Houseguests, do NOT discuss your Diary Room sessions with other houseguests."
• Erika worked hard to get Jase's hair to something other than a blue-green color. Kaysar told him the blue hair really brings out the blue in his eyes. Someone referred to him as Jakomis due to the hair colors.
• James is mad at Marcellas because he was going around telling people he had a deal with Jase. [Editor's note: Will we see Marcellas go up on the block in place of George?]
• Diane wants Marcellas on the block. She thinks he's very annoying. [Editor's note: And he's not a showmance possibility?]
• More on the veto comp -- they were asked to write how long they could go eating BB Slop. Kaysar wrote 15 days thinking George would say two weeks while George actually wrote 60 days. Thus, George won.
• Kaysar and Danielle vented to each other about Marcellas. Mr. Drama Queen better tone it down. Right now, it's only Janelle in his corner. Danielle, in her typical Danielle-Sneaky-Stealth kind of way, really put a bug in Kaysar's ear about Marcellas. And, I'm not talking an ear infection. I still think she's one of the main ones to watch this season.
• Janelle, Howie and Kaysar worked on James to get him to put Jase up in George's place.
• Kaysar said that putting out Mike Boogie would be acceptable for their needs.
• Janelle is convinced one player (at least) will return.
• Janelle also asked the others to be nice if April somehow turns up as a guest sometime this season. [Editor's note: I doubt we'll see that happen. Janelle has been smoking Kaysar's hookah too much!]
• After the others went to bed, Kaysar remained awake for some time (probably due to napping before and he's a night-owl). He apparently had something down in his ear, perhaps BB Slop or blueberries from the dye. Now that he's bald, he'll have to come up with a new nervous habit. He can't twirl his hair anymore!

More once they're up and actually doing something...

Blog Bits and Jase's Blue Hair (Screen Caps)

A real Big Brother 7: All Stars live feeds update will be posted a bit later, but I wanted to bring folks up to date on a few bloggie-kinda things.

Since this blog was hit by spammers two days in a row and I had to spend time removing over 100 comments each time, I've had to enable word verification. I still have it set at anyone can comment and I love to hear what everyone has to say. So, please... keep on commenting. You'll just have to enter the letters/numbers you see in a picture before your comment will be posted. That will keep spambots out. And, if you see any comments without Big Brother reference and a hyperlink or a hyperlink looking like <<, do not click on the links. I may have missed some.

Remember, you can also get the feeds for this blog via My AOL if you're an AOL Member. If you're not an AOL Member, you can still see my latest blog feeds up at AOL's Big Brother 7: All Stars special feature page.

There was an apparent glitch in the FeedBlitz feeds and I reset many readers this morning. So, if you haven't been receiving your FeedBlitz feeds, that should be fixed now.

You can also use the chiklets on the right sidebar to enable your favorite news reader for feeds.

Oh? What's Jase doing? Is he being a pretty boy? One of the girls dyed and put highlights in his hair trying to cover the blue dye from the POV Comp. The last I looked at the back of his head, some blue was still very evident in the crown area. Heehee!

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Digest - Saturday 7/22

Gee, shouldn't the HOH be just a wee bit happier?

What's with the sour puss on James?

Has his own Grand Plan fallen through the cracks?

Yup.

Here are the somewhat late (I apologize) events of the day in that Big Brother House of Chicken Cluckers and Bitter Boys:

• For a change, the houseguests slept in. Oh, wait! They do that everyday. I miss Jack getting up by 7 their time that one season. Of course, last night was the Alcohol Blow Out, so I expected them to be up by the crack of 10.
• The S6 Players are intent on getting one of their own in the Final Two and the rest in sequester to swing the vote.
• Janelle thought it was great that James called Chicken George out for spying in the noms ceremony, but Kaysar thought it was too early to play strong moves.
• Many of the houseguests were mad about Danielle getting so drunk last night because she made too much noise.
• Mike Boogie whined, moaned and fussed that his ear hurt. He wanted to go to the Diary Room and get medical attention. Then he wasn't happy with their medical attention.
• Will told Boogie he doesn't care if he stays or not this week. After he left, Mike looked in a camera and promised he'd get him to stay. [Editor's note: So, is this an act for camera time? What do you think?]
• Then there was a very long period of blocked feeds -- flame/clouds for nearly three hours. And... George and Kaysar are um... bald. Yeah, you heard me.
• And George is wearing the POV necklace. Oh, my! However could that happen?
• James and Marcellas fussed that the veto comp was rigged for George to win. [Editor's note: And, that's been the broken record ever since, too.]
• Marcellas wants James to put up another Chilltown in George's place. He also said he was holding back tears while shaving Kaysar's head.
• James thinks that BB screwed with his plan on purpose. And on and on. And on. He thinks BB is manipulating the comps to balance the power in the house.
• The veto comp itself does sound sort of made for George -- it was a dare kind of event. It had to do with eating a bowl of Slop in five minutes, being painted blue, shaving heads and the final kicker which won it for George was agreeing to be on the BB Slop Diet for 60 days. No one else would agree, so he got the POV.
• Jase is blue-green, but not bald. Will is neither blue-green, nor bald.
• James demanded to talk to the producers and the legal team. Apparently, the HOH (James, at least) cannot compete next week in some sort of new twist. George can't compete for veto next week, but can compete for HOH -- which James thinks may be a belly-flop contest. Bitter boy, bitter.
• Those who played for veto were George, Jase, Kaysar, Will, Mike and James. [Editor's note: I notice that this POV was geared to the men as chances are no women would shave their heads. Should I call CBS legal?]
• Some houseguests want to try to talk George into not using the veto. [Editor's note: @@ Eyeroll for sure! He's goofy, but he's not stupid!]
• George told Jase he's got to use it, no way would he not use it to save himself.
• Now Kaysar's complaining of a sore ear. First Howie, then Mike, now Kaysar.
• Janelle and Marcellas want James to put up Jase. He told them he promised him he wouldn't put him up this week. They don't care.
• James said they should keep George longer now just to make him suffer eating slop.
• James was taken out in question 5 and can't compete for either HOH or POV. He feels he's completely vulnerable... and it's so UNFAIR!
• Most of the others are giving George some credit for stepping up to the plate and actually going for something.
• Marcellas, though not happy, said it wasn't set up for George. It was set up for whoever would do the most to win. George was the one.
• Kaysar was taken for medical care and hasn't returned yet.
• Will and Mike are taking the George POV win better than the S6 Players even though it means most likely one of them will be evicted.
• I believe I heard Mike say Kaysar can't compete for POV next week, either.
• James is going on about the show being rigged. I've heard all of it ever since the flame/clouds ended. Enough.

That's where we stand as I get this posted.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Bulletin - POV Winner 7/22

George won the POV. Now we're talking an interesting week!

A full feeds report will be posted later tonight. Please stop back.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Overnight Into Saturday 7/22

Please center your microphones and get ready for the latest happenings, schemes and weird moves in that Big Brother House of the Unbalanced Oddities...

Did James make the right nominations? Does Will really want to go home? Is George the actual target this week? And... why George, of all people? Is James really in a pre-show alliance with Will and Mike? So many questions and so few clear-cut answers. I think these folks are all lying to each other, including members of their own alleged alliances. Here are the overnight goodies:

• James told Will and Diane of times he caught George spying on him, then scurrying away.
• The current S6 Players plan is to keep Will, evict George.
• James thinks the floaters are aligning with Chilltown.
• The general concensus is that Will will go home Week 5 just prior to sequester unless there is a big twist. He was supposedly promised one by the producers.
• Marcellas and Danielle think Jase is acting up now like he did on his own season.
• Janelle and Kaysar shared bad feelings they have about Jase. [Editor's note: Seems contagious, huh? Apparently he went off after the nominations when the feeds were blocked -- accusing James of "throwing him under the bus."]
• So obviously a choice to stir the house up, BB gave the houseguests a huge amount of alcohol for the evening.
• Will complained that they should have given them cheaper booze and something fancy to go with the feast on Saturday. [Editor's note: Will complains so much this season that he makes Marcellas look appreciative!]
• Will said that the Diary Room asked him about Mr. & Mrs. Smith (alleged Jase, Diane and Alison alliance) and he was clueless. Jase piped in that he was clueless about it, too.
• George thinks he's going home. Howie tried to peptalk him to make him feel better.
• James told Janelle and Howie that if George wins veto, he has to confuse him into "pulling a Marcellas" and not saving himself.
• Chicken George tried to peptalk Howie into going for the win this season. He also told him to go along with who he has to in the beginning, but "watch the snake, he'll turn around and bite you." [Editor's note: I think he was referring to James, but he didn't say the name.]
• James is upset that Chilltown is talking of winning the POV and saving Will when he's already gathered more than enough votes to send George home.
• James told Danielle that the Chilltown truce is with him, not the S6 Players on the whole.
• James and Danielle talked about "having an understanding" since they met at the wrap party last year. [Editor's note: Okay, now this is just getting redundant. How many secret pre-season alliances are in the house this year?] Danielle said she doesn't have to be that bad because she has him. A Danielle quote: "Who's Danielle's Dark Side? James." [Cue organ music here.]
• Erika told James he would have done well on Survivor - "You look like Aras who I cast..." Flame/clouds. She's working for a casting company.
• Drinking and more drinking.
• Marcellas went up to the HOH room to hide. He says things blow up whenever there's alcohol and he doesn't want to be in the line of fire.
• Jase became obnoxious with the alcohol influence -- yelling and screaming.
• Jase screamed to a camera that America's choice was a "bar whore."
• The alcohol-induced houseguests started rapping thanks to Mike Boogie. Jase stopped calling Janelle names when she joined them.
• Danielle seemed particularly inebriated and was upset when Chilltown decided to go to bed.
• Danielle told Howie that if she won HOH she wouldn't put up any of the S6 Players. [Editor's note: She's drunk, but she's lying, too. She's playing both major alliances.]
• Danielle was the last one up, milling about talking to herself... perhaps even sneaking a cigarette behind the couch.

And there you go. Kaysar is the smart one of this crew, for sure. By not drinking, he can observe all the behaviors and lies the drunken houseguests are displaying and incorporate them into his own personal strategy.

The POV Comp should be later today, but I might not get a chance to post about it until the evening. See you then!

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Friday 7/21

<--- Marcellas and Janelle share a tender moment.

Aww.

Touching, isn't it?

Today's been a bit of an odd day in the Big Brother House of Bamboozlement. They slept in and were awakened in time for a lockdown leading into the food comp (see two entries back). There were several periods of flame/clouds and a very extended period of such (nearly two hours) as they did the nomination ceremony.

I'm sure the noms didn't take anywhere near that long and the feeds were blocked so that the news wouldn't get out as quickly. Of course, once they returned, it was only a few minutes until we heard references as to the noms. Prior to the nomination, nothing too much really happened strategy-wise. So, I'm going to pick up on the events since the feeds returned:

• Will seems happy that he's nominated, while George is taking it a lot quieter. Remember, Will doesn't want to be in the house come time for sequester.
• Will joked about Howie being backdoored this week and scared the Jedi Warrior.
• From what Mike said, it sounds like James mentioned George spying on people when he nominated him.
• Jase thinks James wants to "throw him under the bus."
• Will claims he doesn't want the POV used and, if he wins it, he won't use it to save himself.
• Marcellas fussed to Janelle about his key being so near the end of the drawing.
• Jase told Mike Boogie and Will that Danielle is a snake in the grass. [Editor's note: Coming from three snakes in grass? Okay...]
• Supposedly the reason behind George and Will is to make George step up and play the game instead of playing the janitor or Will to get his wish to go home before sequester.
• Janelle and Marcellas wish Mike Boogie was on the block instead of Will. [Editor's note: So do I! Mike is the annoying leader of Chilltown!]
• James said that Howie's key was last merely for effect. [Editor's note: And Marcellas was whining? Howie probably freaked!]

That's pretty much where we're standing at the moment.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Bulletin - Nominations

After a few hours of flames... yes, hours... it looks like it's Chicken George and Will up on the block.

A full feeds update will be posted later tonight. We've had severe thunderstorms and power outages through this area.

And, then, flame/clouds for a few hours.
New logo by Zoetawny... she rocks!

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Food Comp 7/21

Today marked the second food competition in the Big Brother All Stars (or lack thereof) House.

• The HG paired up in teams of two.
• Each team played for one day of the week and received two chances at it. But if they win what they're playing for in the first try, go for more and lose, they get BB Slop for the day.
• They were also playing for catered food of their choice.
• The name of the game was "A Balanced Diet."
• They played with bowling balls, a bar and board with holes, and tried to keep their ball from falling into a hole. They steer their ball with sticks. Sort of hard to describe. ;-)

Erika and James won full food and a feast for Monday.
Mike and Diane won full food and a feast for Tuesday.
Will and Danielle won bread and kumquats for Wednesday.
Howie and Kaysar won full food and a feast for Thursday.
Marcellas and Janelle won vegetables and beer for Friday.
Jase and George won full food and a feast for Saturday. The force was with the Jedit in Training.
Jase and Mike won a feast for Sunday.

So, only two days are a bit iffy - Wednesday and Friday. And, no BB Slop for anyone!

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Overnight Into 7/21

Well, well, well... it took James no time at all to slip right into his HOH role. After he talked to Will, he then asked that Diane be sent to his room.

This ain't no disco. This ain't no foolin' around. This is James and he's taking his Head of House seriously, folks! Will he buckle? Will he fold?

Here's the latest from the Big Brother House of Faltering Floaters:

• In his talk with James, Will implied that the producers had promised him something "big." If they don't come through, he seriously wants out.
• Diane thinks Janelle and Howie were the two votes to evict her. Well, she's half right.
• Will reported back to Mike Boogie and Diane that James admitted the S6 Players are indeed an alliance. He also told them that he told James if they got HOH, a S6 will go on the block - no deals. Will wasn't quite honest with his own Boogie Boy. Interesting, huh?
• Diane and James seem to both think Chicken George should go on the block. [Editor's note: Why are people so scared of George? @@ - Must roll my eyes, must!]
• Their meeting was cut short by the arrival of BB pizza. The slop eaters have real food to eat.
• Janelle said she was upset by some anti-Janelle post that Diane made at the Jokers Updates website prior to this season.
• James claims he'll put up Will if Jase wins POV.
• When James talked to Erika in HOH, she said she wants George and Jase on the block. She thinks Chilltown would save Jase, but George is a huge threat... turn around and he'll be in the final three. [@@]
• Erika said she thought she was part of the S6 alliance when James said something about her being a floater.
• Janelle asked Kaysar why he never told Nakomis the vote fell through. He told her that he did let Nakomis know in the morning, so she was prepared.
• Janelle thinks the second vote for Diane was Jase. Say what? Smith, what about Smith?
• Marcellas told James that Jase was very unhappy that he won HOH. He wants James to forget Chicken George and concentrate on Chilltown.
• Marcellas took offense when James referred to him as a floater. James told him he himself was a floater -- he's in the game to win for himself, after all.
• Kaysar also wants George to be evicted this week.
• James told Jase he will not be nominating him this week. (Argh! He should!)
• James also told Jase that "someday he may return the favor." Not quite a deal, but a hint at a deal.
• Diane and Jase had a clandestine meeting in the Red Room. The Smiths said they had to be careful.

Later today should be the food competition and this evening should be nominations. More later!

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - After The Live Show 7/20

<--- See, it's not just Will he likes to touch. Howie's an equal opportunity touchy-feely kind of guy. He was last season, too.

Tonight (last night as I start this past midnight here on the East Coast) was the live show. I really haven't been writing up recaps of the shows for the most part as they're a bit redundant by the time they air. Most of the events and news have already been discussed in my feeds entries.

However, the live show always brings about a few interesting bits. I'm a bit surprised that Janelle stuck with the Nakomis to stay vote when she knew their alliance was backing out due to Chilltown controlling the numbers. I found Will's vote intriguing, too. Now, if he voted before news got around, he may very well have thought he could be casting the vote which would make it a tie. Why would he do that? Well, I think he honestly didn't care between the two on a personal level. But I also wonder if he's got the same game going on as Kaysar -- a desire to keep the stronger player in the game. I'll report back if I hear talk. You know I will.

Then there's James, the Veto King who has never won a HOH before. He can't be trusted and I think that he's playing both sides to an extent. He's closer with S6 Players, but keeps the communication going with Chilltown. Will he stay with nominating floaters? He keeps saying he wants George gone. Or, will he put up Will or Mike... or both? The nominations should be tomorrow (Friday) evening. Stay tuned!

Also, the show had a segment on the alleged Mr. & Mrs. Smith Alliance (Diane, Jase and Alison), but only focused on Diane and Jase. At least now I won't feel I need to explain the theory each time I mention it. Phew! Is it real? I haven't a clue. I honestly think that since many of the houseguests knew each other outside of the house, there indeed be some alliance surprises this season. Only time will tell.

Oh... and Mike did wear Marcellas' huge Afro wig. I liked how Julie Chen didn't even bother to comment on it. That made me snicker at him... with disdain.

All right, to the feeds since the live show we go!

• Diane thanked both Jase and James for voting for her to stay. [Editor's note: Huh, she knew those two right off the bat, eh? SMITH! SMITH!]
• Will/Mike are upset they didn't win HOH. They're worried.
• All of the houseguests thought the HOH was hard. Kaysar didn't think he would have won had he played. [Editor's note: Actually, I think really remembering the answers was impossible. However, you had a 50-50 chance with guesses. I think there was a lot of guessing going on.]
• Howie has an earache. He's had it since yesterday. He claims he didn't hear the first question which got him booted. Will told him the secret to throwing HOH comps is to go out second or third, not first.

• Will and Howie did pull-ups on the stairs and only stopped after BB: "Stop that! Stop that NOW! Will, stop that!" [Editor's note: We're hearing a lot of that this season. I want to hear BB say, "Do you want me to take my belt off?"]
• Will shouted back to BB, "Why don't you guys worry producing a good show for a change?"
• Will told Diane he's going to throw a fit if he's not nominated. He really wants to get out of the house before sequester.
• Both Mike Boogie and Will can't believe Jase never seems to work out, yet maintains his physique.
• Kaysar told Danielle he was a bit upset that Julie said his nominations were "off." [Editor's note: Well, they were, Kaysar! You blew it!]
• James told Howie that there are "four of us and we need another." He specified Jase. [Editor's note: @@ James gets my first eyeroll of the report! Why the hell does he think he can trust JASE? Ack.]
• James' new HOH room is all red and black. His gifts were pictures of Sarah and himself, Diet Dr. Pepper, a bottle of wine and other goodies.
• The Sov. 4 (S6 Players) gloated over their third HOH win in a row (after the other HG left the room). An interesting note -- Marcellas was the first to leave the room. Hmmm...
• They then went into discussing noms. Some think Jase and Chicken George should be put up. Hey! How about Mike and Will? Sheesh.
• Howie thinks Chicken George will clean his way to the finals if not stopped. [Remember, he's the only one who does housecleaning.]
• Howie, James, Kaysar and Janelle made a pact to be the final four.
• Marcellas told Janelle that Chilltown was flipping out over James being HOH.
• In a HOH talk with James, Will told him he cannot go to sequester. [Editor's note: I think this may be true. I think the show may have talked him into coming on. He does, believe it or not, have an active medical practice. Plus, he's a partner in restaurants. He doesn't really need the money so much and, if he's not going to win, the stipend is peanuts to him.]
• James told Will if he puts him up, he wouldn't be the target. Will doesn't like that. James also told Will that Mike Boogie is a bigger threat than he is.

I'm sure the scheming will go on through the night...

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - East Coast Update - 7/20 - HOH

James won HOH against Danielle in a tiebreaker.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - East Coast Update 7/20 - Eviction

Mike voted to evict Nakomis.
Will voted to evict Diane.
James voted to evict Nakomis.
Janelle voted to evict Diane.

Ready to reveal the vote...
By a vote of 8 to 2, Nakomis is evicted.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Digest - Daytime 7/20

It's live show day! Quick! Clean up the house! Throw all those clothes under the bed. The viewers will never know!
;-)

Yes, tonight is the live eviction. As per my usual practice, I'll be posting quick updates on the eviction and HOH winner as it occurs here on the east coast. So, if you're in another time zone and simply can't wait, the news will be here. (Mark it down - I say we'll see Nakomis leave, quite possibly by a unanimous vote.

Here are the day's events from that Big Brother House of Hassled Houseguests:

• Howie is really not feeling well. He was running to the bathroom and then took Tylenol in the wee hours of the morning.
• This morning, by herself, Danielle talked to the Memory Wall. "Why are they it like that? Are we having a comp today? Let's get it ON!" [Editor's note: I'm not sure what was different, but she seemed to notice some sort of change.]
• There was a long period of flame/clouds, some cams with trivia! All with the new bad theme music. When the flame/clouds ended, the HG were already on an inside lockdown. [Editor's note: They even have to pull down all the panels so they can't see outside in these things. On HOH comp day, a long indoor lockdown might be because the staff is setting up the yard. Another long flame/clouds would be the HG practicing at the comp so they don't make the live show go overtime.]
• James said the BB Slop group can eat at midnight. I think he's right, if memory serves.
• A cute Will/Marcellas exchange -- Will: "An oxymoron would be something like military intelligence." Marcellas: "Or Big Brother All Stars." Heh.
• A fairly long outdoor lockdown - nothing new in the yard.
• Then some nap, some discuss Scientology (ack).
• Will said he wants to go home before sequester - week four or five.
• James told Kaysar that Chilltown approached him and wants a truce, claims they'll target the floaters if they win HOH. [Editor's note: Not the plan Will and Mike Boogie discussed on their own. They said Howie and Janelle.]
• James, Danielle (see, now she's there!) and Kaysar discussed how Janelle and Marcellas were hanging out together too much. None are thrilled with Marcellas' constant complaining this season. Kaysar, in particular, is unhappy with Marcellas going against their voting plan and being partly responsible for the turnaround to vote out Nakomis.
• Danielle was taking all that in and got in her two cents to make Marcellas look even worse and herself such a trusted ally. [Editor's note: Cough. Work that mojo, Danielle!]
• Lots of primping. Will wants Mike Boogie to wear Marcellas' huge Afro wig on the live show.
• George was the only one I saw doing any real cleaning.

And, that's bringing things up to date for now. Stop on back later. I may have cookies and milk for everyone.

Or not.

'Big Brother: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Overnight Into 7/20

I really wixh Big Brother would clamp down and institute a bedtime on these houseguests. They're up most of the night, or at least a good portion of them are up. Me? I'm not an insomniac!

Here are the events of the overnight period in the Big Brother House of Noctorunal Ne'er-do-wells:

• Mike Boogie doesn't think Marcellas would put him up if he wins HOH. [Editor's note: Suuure, Mike. Keep on believing that!]
• George wore a thong on his head given to him by Howie.
• Danielle, perhaps not seriously, tried to rally the Slop eaters together to eat, then all get penalty nominations.
• Diane told Mike Boogie that Marcellas told her to talk to S6. [Editor's note: There ya go, Marcellas. She is in with them. Should I type it slower so you understand? If she's not in with them, she'll use them.]
• BB yelled at the HG to stop singing on and off overnight. Most of the time, no one seemed to be singing. At least not on the feed I was watching.
• Howie's BB Slop diet is affecting his system. Keep the bathroom available!
• Mike Boogie (and James before) complained about the light in the tarantula cage being on all the time.
• Janelle and Howie are still grilling each other on House Trivia for the HOH, or one down the road. They seem to think they'll be playing a Majority Rules question game.
• Marcellas is wondering if S6 Players will come after him since he didn't vote the way they wanted (for Nakomis to stay). He and Erika discussed throwing the HOH.
• Kaysar still hasn't told Nakomis the votes switched and she's going home.
• Will complained to anyone who'd listen (or pretend to) about this season being boring and nothing special.
• A BB Slop bucket left sitting on the stove melted and slop abounds, plastic stuck on the burner.
• Janelle thinks they have a good chance of winning HOH.

And, there you go. Now most will sleep until BB forces them out of bed. They have a lot of housecleaning and personal primping to do. Howie is already set with new blond highlights in his hair.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Evening 7/19

So, who's going home tomorrow? I don't know for sure, but if I were a betting woman I'd say Nakomis. That's not the person I want evicted but the houseguests didn't consult me.

Harumph!


Here are the latest tidbits from the Big Brother House of Shenanigans and Tomfoolery:

• Marcellas said he has no fear about going home because he's not invested (emotionally) this season. Of course, if he were on the block, he may be singing a different tune. Y'think?
• Apparently Kaysar and Janelle haven't seen each other much since last season ended. He said he didn't really know what she was like outside of the house when she asked him if he thought she was a spoiled brat.
• Will doesn't remember his season being as boring as this one is. He says it's bad when the most exciting moment is playing kickball with a beach ball.
• Diane asked Marcellas why Mike/Will came on the show if all they're going to do is complain.
• Marcellas advised Diane to tell the S6 Players that she's not after them if she stays.
• Will questioned Howie about how boring Season 6 was. [Editor's note: First the shrink kick, now the boring marathon. Boring, Will!]
• Then Marcellas went to Nakomis and Erika fussing that people who don't want to be in the house (Mike/Will) shouldn't be there.
• The HG set up a net in the backyard and played a game which could only be described as a volleyball/soccer/hackysack combination... with a beachball.
• Will/Mike (talking together) said they should make a truce with Howie and James. Then nominate Kaysar and Janelle if they get HOH. [Editor's note: So much for Kaysar's deal. He's done been Jenned again!]
• Danielle and Will think they've already earned about $12,000 in stipend money so far. [Editor's note: Interesting amount. Up until last year, HG got $750 a week for time spent in sequester and/or the house. This year I heard them mention it was around $1,000, if memory serves. They haven't been tied up for 12 weeks already!]
• Chilltown caught on that S6 Players (allegedly) changed their votes to keep Diane instead of Nakomis.
• Mike Boogie wore a "looking for my next shomance" shirt most of the day. I think the tank top with Boogie 0 on the back is more fitting.
• Instead of the usual throwing of comps, Will and Mike plan to really play for HOH tomorrow. We'll see.
• Will told George not to worry about washing the dishes, he'd get them.
• George washed the dishes. Not that Will didn't get them, mind you. He didn't give him a chance. George is a Man on a Mission in the house. Someone has to clean!

That's about it for now. Tomorrow should be full of primping and preening preparing for the live show. For tomorrow night's live show, I'll be blogging quick updates on the eviction and HOH comp as they occur in East Coast time. So, if you're West Coast and you love show night spoilers, check in here.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Schtuff - 7/19 Daytime

Ah, voting day in the Big Brother house. It's typically a fairly calm day, especially once all the votes have been cast. The houseguests aren't allowed to discuss their votes (the votes are considered Diary Room sessions) and there's no longer a need to try to sway others to vote a particular way. So, the day tends to be a bit peaceful and there's not a heck of a lot of strategic planning going on.

No, the live feed watchers aren't privy to the votes, either. I can tell you no secrets. (Rats!)

Here are some of the highlights and low dives happening today so far in the Big Brother House of Boisterous Buffoons:

• Will was up fairly early (before 9 AM their time) and addressed one of the cameras. "The twist this season is depression!" He again requested to talk to the BB shrink.
• Will keeps singing which, in turn, blocks the feeds with flame/clouds and the new annoying show theme. [Editor's note: If you're not familiar with the reasoning -- it's because the show broadcasts over the Internet. Theoretically, if they sing a song, the show must pay royalties. So, when the HG sing, we get blocked. The HG know it and sometimes deliberately sing.]
• James complained about the wake-up song -- said it was too loud. System of Down? We also don't get to hear the wake-up song BB blasts them with to get them out of bed.
• Diane told Erika BB called her before the show, they didn't call Jase. But Alison was in on it. [Editor's note: This would be the infamous alleged Mr. & Mrs. Smith Alliance - Alison, Jase and Diane. I still don't know exactly its extent, but there does seem to be communication between those three prior to the season.]
• The HG go one by one as called to the Diary Room to vote.
• James shops at Trader Joe's. [Editor's note: I deem this worthy because I'm a Trader Joe's shopper myself. Great store!]
• Some talked about what they're wearing for the live show. It always gets me that these people are watched all the time, but when it comes live show... they primp and fuss. Don't they realize that most of the show's fodder comes from day to day?
• Nakomis and Janelle are holding out hope for some kind of twist that might affect tomorrow's eviction.
• Jase told the others he cried when he wrote his HOH Diary entry last week. [Editor's note: @@ He gets the eyeroll! He knew what he was getting into when he went in the house. Sheesh!]
• Both Diane and Nakomis have to pack their bags.
• George made a Jedi In Training hat out of foil and is wearing it. [Editor's note: Heh, reminds me of his space suit in the john bit in Season 1! He's a goof, but he makes me smile.]
• Kaysar got his HOH camera and, as usual, they had fun taking pictures. At least this season, the house isn't so divided on a personal level that a whole group doesn't participate. At least, so far...

That's where we stand at the time of posting. I want to give thanks to those who have made donations to this blog (button on right), AOL for featuring my blog feeds on their Big Brother feature page and to Deidre over at TV Squad for linking it in her show recap! But, most of all, my thanks go out to the readers. It's your encouragement that keeps me going on these Hamsters. I treasure you all!
