Quick 'Big Brother' East Coast Update - 7/11 Show

A feeds update is in the works, but since the show just finished here in the East, here's the update:

• As we know, the POV Comp had to do with garbage
• No, we didn't see Alison get bonked in the head, but I noticed the cage she was talking about as the culprit.
• Janelle won POV
• Janelle didn't use POV
• Danielle and Alison still on the block.

A feeds update and show commentary will be posted later tonight!

'Big Brother 7: All-Stars' - Live Feeds Overnight Into 7/11

Ah, finally... we'll have a new show to watch tonight! And, an eviction on Thursday. I'm still hoping Alison goes, but watching the feeds tells me nothing is certain.

Here's what's been happening since I last posted:

• Janelle thinks it would be dangerous to keep Alison.
• Marcellas wanted Janelle to use the veto, put James up with Danielle.
• Marcellas had a bouncing on the bed pounding it with his fists tantrum because he wants Danielle to go.
• When asked by Janelle, Kaysar said he was voting for Alison to leave.
• Will said he likes to make fun of show fans and live feeds watchers.
• Marcellas and Erika think Janelle needs to cut loose at least one of her alliance members. (Howie?)
• They've decided that BB will have them eating bugs instead of PB&J this season.
• Marcellas said that Mike and Will don't need the money, he does.
• They invented a game called Hopper, hopping on the furniture. BB Voice: "Houseguests, please don't jump on the furniture. We're serious. Thank you."
• Howie and James think Nakomis is "after them."
• BB gave them more alcohol.
• The hot tub is unusable as it's dirty. (Well, clean it! Sheesh!)
• The other HG felt bad for George because they thought he was sleeping outside (they complained about his snoring).
• Will told scary stories like kids at a campfire.
• Alison wants to work on George and Erika to keep the vote from being a tie.
• All are finally asleep.

And I'm awake.

'BB7: All-Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Into The Evening 7/10

At least the house is a bit more interesting now that there's a bit more scheming. I think they've talked every minute, every relationship, of every season since the show's inception. Every time I think they can't come up with more to say about past seasons, they do. But, there's some scheming going on in between the reminiscing. Phew!

Here's the important scheming and a few odd (rubber) ducks thrown in since I last updated:

• Mike and Will pried Howie for information as to who he's voting to evict and general information. Will says he has a target on his back and knows he won't last long, but will Howie look out for Mike? @@ - I have to start with an eyeroll.
• Howie told them he trusts James as much as he trusts Will. Heh.
• Diane told Marcellas that she thinks everyone is voting out Danielle. (Which would thrill Marcellas to no end, but he knows that may not be the case.)
• She told him that Alison said if she gets HOH, her target is Janelle.
• Janelle and Howie won't "talk game" with Diane. [Editor's note: I don't blame them!]
• Diane said Jase won't "talk game" with her, either. [Editor's note: Want to buy a clue, Diane?]
• Janelle noticed that Nakomis studies the house, but Janelle and Howie have had extended "study" periods for possible comps. Who's she to complain?
• Will thinks the Olsen twins look like hot troll dolls. Okay...
• Alison sucked up to Erika more.
• Alison keeps asking about what Danielle's saying and doing...to the point of annoyance.
• Kaysar told Erika he's not ready to play the game yet. (What's he waiting for? By Christmas, it'll be too late!)
• Erika told Kaysar she wants to keep Alison.
• Marcellas wants to break up the S6 group, but Janelle must remain. He likes her.
• There was an outdoor lockdown - more kickball with the beachball and footraces. Boring!
• Howie, egged on by James, kissed Will for "camera time."
• Erika told Mike he's alone in voting to evict Alison.
• Now even Marcellas is confused who he's voting for. Janelle told him that if Alison stays, her and Nakomis will take over.
• Marcellas is terrified of Danielle. Janelle points out that Danielle never wins comps -- it's Alison who's the immediate threat.

That's pretty much how we stand. It went from looking at Alison being surely evicted to a "who knows?" situation.

'Hell's Kitchen' - Episode 5 -or- "Cooking Like Donkeys!"

I interrupt your regularly scheduled Big Brother Live Feeds Updates to bring you up to date on the latest Hell's Kitchen. Hey, I've been talking about it each week so far this season; I can't let a bunch of odd people in a house in California stop me now! (I will be posting feeds updates later tonight and early, early in the morning, then again tomorrow evening...I'm talking east coast time here.)

As the show opened, we had seven wannabe chefs, although not suited for fry cooks, contestants remaining out of the original twelve. Thankfully, Tom went the last episode. He should have never been there in the first place! Now I want Sara out of there just because she's an obnoxious, sneaky, so-and-so.

Chef Ramsay treated all of the contestants to what they thought was real fancy-shmancy food. Instead, the caviar came from catfish; the pate was crushed hot dogs; the fondue was Cheez Wiz, and there was a TV dinner in there posing as something as well. All of the contestants went on about how great the food was with Garrett only stumbling for a moment. After being told what they were eating, Keith said, "Hot dogs are slammin'!" No wonder he liked the pate!

The "meal" was a prelude to a taste-test contest between the teams. Blindfolded with headphones, each team member was pitted against another in identifying a spoonful of something. (No one got a spoonful of sugar, although it may have helped the medicine go down.) The women, with one sitting out to even the teams, won. Woohoo, they did a photo shoot for TV Guide.

And, that brings up the creepy Sara again! Argh! She was fondling Ramsay's leg and being blatant about gas during the shoot. What the hell is wrong with that woman? Get her gone!

As the women drank champagne, got all dolled up, and posed pretty, the men had to clean the mess left in the kitchen from the night before. Well, the men and Heather, as Ramsay put her on that team to even numbers. (Back to -- suppose a reality show put on a gender war and nobody came?)

The dinner service as the usual frantic mess as Ramsay yelled, "Where's the lamb sauce?" I don't know. I think if I were there, I could tell him where to put his lamb sauce. There were burnt ducks, well-done Beef Wellington, burnt quail, and even a hair on an entree. Horrors! Ramsay freaked that the teams weren't communicating, yet he certainly doesn't create an atmosphere of open communication. It tends to be like: "Chef, the lamb will be ten minutes!" "Off with your head and serve that on a (#&^%#@ platter!"

Ramsey showed odd familiarity with two of the contestants tonight. First, he took Rachel aside as she was screwing up right and left and gave her a pep talk. Then, it was even more weird with Keith, something about "nobody's ever told you that you could do well." I expected Keith to reply, "Mommy never loved me." Blech.

They actually got the entrees served when Ramsay did his final blow-up "shut down the kitchen" bit. But, both teams had their woes. He decided the Red Team did the worst and that Virginia was the best of the worst. It was up to her to name two nominees to get booted.

Rachel told Heather to win it and go after Sara if she got the boot. And, after a long rambling nomination, Virginia nominated both Rachel and Maribel. Ramsay booted Rachel.

Go get Sara, Heather! You can do it.

Now, the more I watch these characters, the less I'm liking Heather. She was my favorite from the start. She's crumbling, though. I hope the promise to Rachel boosts her back up. I don't like Keith. It looks like Ramsay is liking him more each week, but his whole demeanor oozes burger-flipper, not a top chef. Garrett? Eh, better than Sara or Maribel. Chef Ramsay ought to kick them all out of the kitchen and get in a new cast.

'BB7: All-Stars' - Live Feeds Digest - 7/10 Morning/Afternoon

Half the house stayed up more than half the night last night, as I mentioned in my first post today. If they don't watch it, BB will call a "lights out" time as they did in past seasons.

Without further ado, here's the important a-doin's from today:

• Will and Jase wanted to move George's bed to the backyard as he snores so loud.
• Janelle, Kaysar and Howie fixed and ate waffles at after 4 AM their time.
• Howie wants a threatening alliance stance while Kaysar doesn't want a mob approach.
• Howie and Janelle tried to tell Kaysar that integrity won't get him far.
• They (H, J, K) think James is working with Danielle. [Editor's note: He is, but who knows how loyal he'll be as his own needs change in the house. He doesn't like Alison and wants Danielle to stay this week.]
• Janelle told Kaysar and Howie that Marcellas wants in with their alliance.
• The 'up all night' crew went to bed after 5 AM their time; Danielle was the first 'up for the day' crew person at a bit after 9 AM, then Mike.
• Mike told Danielle that James is voting to keep her. [Editor's note: Duh. She knew that.]
• Mike starts working the thought of the S6 alliance being too strong and they must lose some members.
• BB did Beastie Boys wake-up music at about 10:15 AM their time. BB then told them, "Houseguests, you must clean the bathroom today." -- that's the first I've heard that announcement, but they need it.
• George tried to form an alliance with Danielle and Nakomis. He's still Odd Man Out. He told them he's suspicious of S6.
• Will wanted a house meeting to discuss the snorers - George, Howie and James.
• There was an outdoor lockdown.
• James and Kaysar had a long strategy talk about S6 being targeted and Danielle being an ally... or not.
• Will and Mike tried to figure out where Marcellas' loyalty is.
• Mike wants a tie to louse everything up this eviction.
• Mike told Howie he wants him in the new "Chilltown" with himself and Will. @@ Have to roll my eyes at the thought of it all!
• Lots of sleeping in the afternoon. Gee, I wonder why?
• Mike tried to swing Jase and Marcellas to his alliance.
• Marcellas called Janelle the "new Amy" and doesn't know if he can trust her to have his back through the game.
• James found change in his pocket, lied to Janelle and said he found it under the couch cushion. BB took the money away.
• James is still campaigning to keep Danielle. Marcellas still wants Danielle to be evicted.
• Nakomis had a long, long talk with George and may have him in her pocket. [Editor's note: Smart move -- everyone's ignoring him, for the most part.]
• Alison campaigned for herself to Erika, not sure if Erika was really caring or listening, maybe just soaking it all in. No promises made.

And, that's where we stand.

'BB7: All- Stars' - Live Feeds Update - Overnight 7/09-7/10

Once again, I'll first whine that this crew needs to get more exciting.

Here's some of what happened since I last posted or just stuff of interest (to me, at least):

• James is campaigning for Danielle to stay more than Danielle is campaigning for Danielle to stay.
• Erika cried about lost loves to Kaysar.
• Mike conspired with Diane, the object to get HOH power next week
• The uncertainty of Ali going this week grows and right now the house seems divided on the vote for eviction.
• Diane is allying with Ali...or is she?
• Janelle feels bad having an alliance with Kaysar, but telling Marcellas he's in it until the end -- same with Kaysar and Erika.
• Lots of past season talk.
• As I write this, some houseguests are still up making waffles. They should crash soon and probably conk out for most of the East Coast day. BB should institute a bedtime/lights out for them again.

Later!

'Big Brother 7: All-Stars' - Feeds Update (Or Something Like That)

I cannot belive this crew, I just can't. They've all been having fun in the backyard playing with a big ball...for a few HOURS now. Un-freakin'-believable! No scheming, no fighting. They're playing for hours and hours! Argh.

So, here's a Zoetawny graphic inspired by Erika's infatuation with Kaysar (which seems to be cooling a bit).

The biggest news on the news front is that Howie is going all Hurricane, perhaps it's more of a tropical storm right now, on Nakomis. Janelle doesn't approve and Howie's going to find out that Nakomis isn't going to be a whimpering April if he lets loose on her. Supposedly, it dates to her aiming the meteor at him in the HOH comp. He said she made it personal. Whatever. I think this one is all in his mind.

The nominations weren't changed and it seems up in the air who's voting for whom. While it seemed Alison was a sure eviction, it's getting a bit iffy now. Neither Alison nor Danielle are campaigning. On the other hand, Marcellas really wants Danielle out -- "I'm not safe as long as she's in the game."

Waaay too much talk about past seasons. Whenever they try to talk about something relating to this season which interests me (such as their sequester, etc.), we get flame/clouds and bad music. So, they play in the backyard. No, the screaming while playing doesn't get flame/clouds; it'll just get my neighbors to call the cops if I don't keep the volume way low.

In blog stuff: The poll I posted earlier seems to be dropping off Jack votes when you look at the results. He is the discrepancy between total votes and the sum of the others. The last time I looked, it seemed he had 6 or 7 votes. If you haven't voted for the houseguest not in the house who should be there, the poll is here. Go for it! Ivette is leading with Amy on her tail!

'BB7: All-Stars' - Live Feeds Update - Screen Cap - 07/09

<--- Yep, it's a thrill a minute in the Big Brother 7 House, as you can tell from this recent screencap of Jase and Janelle in the HOH room.

Apparently, the POV Ceremony is over as we had extended flame/clouds with bad music. As I start to write from my notes, I haven't heard a word about whether the POV was used. I guess it wasn't as Janelle had previously said she wanted the nominations to stand. I also think BB kept the feeds blocked a long time after the ceremony ended just so live-feeders wouldn't catch the immediate talk and now it's out of their systems. Someone will spill the beans, though. Someone always does.

In their talk (pictured), Janelle was wondering about what to write when they do the HOH Blog on the CBS site. "Nothing's happening. It's boring." Wise woman, that Janelle, very wise. Now they're talking about Danielle being more likable than Alison although Marcellas thinks Danielle is dangerous.

Not a heck of a lot has happened today -- too much talk of the previous seasons and not enough gameplay for this season! Will is creating problems by acting up and singing. Remember, if they sing, the feeds will cut out as it's considered a copyright issue when they air songs over the Internet. Both Janelle and Jase's mothers watch the feeds. (No, I am not the mother of either of them!)

I switched feeds. It seems like the nominations have remained the same. Marcellas, Nakomis and Danielle are talking about DR sessions. Nakomis said Karen wanted to leave. Blah-blah-past season-blah.

In more interesting news, Ivette is really leading in the poll I posted a while ago. Eep! Who woulda thunk it?

Later!

While Awaiting the POV Ceremony...

While awaiting the POV Ceremony to both start and conclude before the next real update, I figured I'd see if a poll would work here.

Who isn't in the house, but should be? Eddie McGee Roddy Josh Souza Ivette Bunky Cowboy Amy Jack View Results Make your own poll Just a note: For some reason, the Jack results aren't showing on the

on the results page. His are the difference between what you see and the total. I also think it may be thinking some of the AOL respondents have already voted. It may go by IP number. That's what I get for using a free poll.

'Big Brother 7: All-Stars' - Live Feeds Mini-Report, Screen Cap

About five minutes ago:

"Good morning, Houseguests. The Veto Ceremony will begin in two hours."

So far this morning, most HG are still asleep. Danielle and Nakomis have been talking about family, childhood, children, decorating, and more.

The most worthy quote I can come up with is from Nakomis. "I was an odd child."

Big Brother just told them to get up for the day. He should tell them to be INTERESTING for the day!

'Big Brother 7: All-Stars' - Live Feeds Digest - Overnight 7/08-7/09

Good morning, good morning! Houseguests, it's time to get up! I'm up, so you should be up!


Er...okay, I'm East Coast and the hamsters are West Coast. I guess they can sleep in a bit longer. But I better see some action today -- a Jedi Warrior uprising, a catfight,...something!


Here's the latest "important doings" from the house since my last entry:

• Janelle got into a bit of a tiff with Howie because he kept quoting lines from last season. She said it was annoying. [Janie! Blonde bombshell! Oh, Janie!]
• Will broke one of the dining room chairs while they had it out in the backyard. [Okay, that's one wall bug and one chair dead. I'm going to keep the damages score here.]
• No banner plane, but... a skywriting plane! Woohoo! Then quick flame/clouds and annoying music. The HG were put in indoor lockdown and apparently (from what Will said) told the "show would be canceled if they stayed outdoors." [Yeah, right. BB just doesn't want "messages" from the outside world!]
• Once the feeds came back, every time the plane was mentioned, we got the flame/clouds again.
• Will started talking about the BB psychiatrist, so more flame/clouds. Argh. It's bad enough they start singing to get feeds blocked. He says he wants to talk to him because he has "anger issues." [@@ I have to roll my eyes at that one, have to!]
• Nakomis wants James out soon -- she doesn't want him to have a grip on the win at all. Both she and Mike think he'll turn on his group soon.
• Mike says the BB6 folks are "The Evil Empire."
• George claims he didn't watch the other seasons, yet the others think he knows too much about them.
• Kaysar thinks they're bored too early this season. [Editor's note: So am I. Action! I want action!]
• Janelle said George reminds her of a hedgehog.
• Marcellas got into a bit of a tiff with Danielle about the happenings of their own season. Meow.
• Will said he's only staying because of Mike and he gives it another week. [Editor's note: Huh, maybe he does want to be nominated!]
• The HG have reprised the game of "duckball" from Season 3.
• Will whined that BB won't let him say anything and won't let him see the BB shrink.
• Janelle and Howie think Erika is going to throw HOH(?) -- at least I think they were talking HOH, not the game itself! ;-)
• Howie wants Nakomis gone now. He really ranted and ranted about her.
• Marcellas ranted on about Danielle not deserving anything in BB3.
• Kaysar said he's enjoying this season more so far -- it's more peaceful. He told Erika and Danielle he has no alliances. [Yeah, right.]
• Kaysar thinks Will is deliberately causing disruptions and not having "anger issues."
• Marcellas thinks Howie talks too much and tries to impress people too much. [Editor's note: Pot. Kettle. Black.]
• Janelle, Kaysar and Marcellas want Monica in the house.
• Marcellas now likes Nakomis and wants Will gone, fickle soul that Marcellas.
• Marcellas blames Will for being suckered into the argument with Danielle about their season.
• Janelle and Kaysar are worried about a tie for eviction this week. They believe the house has several tiny alliances and numbers are uncertain.
• While Howie has turned Hurricane on Nakomis, both Kaysar and Janelle like her. Their BB6 "alliance" is all over the place and they all want different people gone. Oy!
• Janelle suggest Erika should be voted out. Howie discouraged it.
• All are still sleeping at this hour.

Wake up, hamsters! Get runnin' in those wheels!

'BB7: All-Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Afternoon 7/08

This house needs action! Heck, even the liquor dispensed to the houseguests on Thursday night didn't create a ruckus like a few we saw last season. Instead, we're seeing lots of flame/clouds with bad music (bring back the fishtank!) and hearing Alison whine about her head injury. I personally think she's dwelling on the bonk to the head to avoid the reality that she's not doing well this time around.

Here are the highlights (and a few lowlights) of this afternoon in the BB House:

• Diane told Nakomis that Jase is "bad news."
• Diane is campaigning for Alison to stay because "she's good at comps, but bad at the game -- her mouth."
• Howie talked about boobies...again. Or, still.
• Alison whined that her vision is blurred from her knock on the head. @@
• James is obviously still upset about the America's Choice Kaysar return last season. He says if anyone returns this season, vote them off the next week.
• James and Mike agree Alison should go this week and both are leery of George -- they think he's a lot smarter about the game than he's letting on.
• Without his true Jedi Light Saber, Howie is playing Jedi with a pool cue-stick. He almost broke it. He's teaching George how to be a Jedi.
• Odd trivia: Marcellas won't use public restrooms.
• More odd trivia: Mike was an obese child.
• The HG discussed how past houseguests (not in the house) will be taking part in some comps. [Editor's note: Interesting, not sure if it's true or not. Usually they themselves aren't told these things, but they acted like it was fact.]
• Supposedly, the contestants in the Top 20 not picked received $7,000 for their efforts and time.
• They talked about various websites for the show, but failed to mention my blog. WAAH!
• Lots of talk about American Idol, past BB seasons

And that's it. More soon!

'Big Brother 7: All-Stars' Live Feeds Report - 7/08 Morning

Our beloved (cough) hamsters tend to sleep in, with Nakomis and Diane apparently being the early risers (in comparison) this season.




Here's the noteworthy or not news of the morning in the BB House:

• Alison is still complaining about her bonked noggin, an injury from the POV comp.
• Will and Mike are still pushing for banner planes.
• Now there's talk of keeping George because he does the dishes and cleans. This is a very messy bunch o' houseguests. You don't want to see the bathroom!
• George and Howie are the worst when it comes to snoring.
• Big Brother's wake-up call for stragglers came at nearly 11 AM their time. I need to roll my eyes. I will. @@
• Alison broke the coffeepot.
• Howie said he'll stay close to Will just to get more airtime.
• Diane once again mentioned how she thought Drew was gay (because he wouldn't/didn't have sex with her). @@

That's the big (yawn!) excitement thus far today in the house. The graphic in this entry was made by Rockin' Zoetawny!

Tip Jar?

A few folks, one in particular, keep telling me to get something started with PayPal to help cover the costs of my time, live feeds, Internet access and such. This blog itself is on a free server (yes, I heartily recommend Blogger.com).

To appease her and, who knows -- maybe I can retire my day job sometime before I'm 90 -- here goes:



I'm not quite sure how it will work and I've added a button to the sidebar on the right.

But, y'know... I do this for the love of television. Really!

'BB7: All-Stars' - Live Feeds Digest - 7/07 to 7/08

We'll start today off with a Danielle graphic by AOL's Big Brother Wonder Artist Zoetawny! Heh, Danielle's devilish ways may have really cost her this season, huh?

As I posted yesterday, Janelle did indeed win the POV and the comp was looking for vetos amongst trash. Not all houseguests participated; those who did fussed for hours about the smell. Alison must've knocked her head pretty good on some sort of metal cage and was using cold compresses for most of the day.

At this time, this crowd is nowhere near as exciting as I thought they would be. For the most part, they're getting along well and there's tons of small talk about previous seasons, mutual friends, the whole BB experience and such. Here are the interesting and/or gameworthy bits from yesterday afternoon (Fri.) to present (Sat. early morning):

• The POV comp had hockey sticks, smushed-up PB&J sandwiches, fish gone bad, bins and vetos hidden in trash. Each HG had a color.
• James is making himself valuable as the chef so far.
• Jase wanted to instigate a Danielle/Allison catfight.
• Howie wants Will and Mike on the block.
• Jase, though he admires Will, knows to be wary of him.
• The HG talked about various Internet sites and "hate threads" about them.
• Marcellas sold his Golden Veto he received during his season as well as his gnome, Boo.
• The HG talked about Danielle being responsible for the start of sequester due to what she said in Diary Room segments. They decided they all say "bad things" in DR.
• With the way George keeps getting hurt, Jase decided he would be the first "Med-Evac."
• Alison tried to get James to ally with her claiming that the S6 bunch was going to "go for him."
• Janelle is worried that Kaysar will tell Erika too much of their strategy as she's making moves on him.
• Janelle thinks Alison should be the target - she's a better game-player than Danielle and more of a threat.
• James seemed to be prying just about everyone for information.
• Janelle is happy with the noms and won't change them at the POV Ceremony.
• James is campaigning for Chicken George to be evicted next. Why, I don't know.
• Marcellas said he doesn't expect to return to House Calls.
• Howie talked a lot about sex. (What a surprise!)
• Alison is sure she'll be the one leaving. (Hopefully, she's right!) She's very unhappy and thinks no one likes her. She wants to leave Sunday, doesn't want to wait for Thursday.
• Marcellas said that Danielle blew any chance of winning Season 3 when she aligned with the one person everyone would vote to win.
• Will tried to get Howie to ally with him, then turned to the camera afterwards and said, "As the fly falls into the spider's web..."
• Nakomis will vote for Alison to go out this week and Janelle was mad that Alison had a plan to boot her.
• Diane and Alison trashtalked about Janelle. Meow!
• Mike doesn't care for Janelle and thinks Kaysar is a snake in the grass awaiting the right time to strike.
• The HG say they want banner planes. (No, I won't pay for a banner plane!)
• Janelle hurt her ankle. (Perhaps in the POV comp?)
• Mike's birthday is July 16 - he expects a house party from BB.
• James wants to let George think Danielle is the target. Weird.
• James doesn't think putting up both Ali and Danielle was a good decision, but says he'll vote with the crowd.
• Lots of talk from Janelle and "their side" about George going next week if they win.
• James tried to explain how the "six-finger" or backdoor plan works to George. George is dense. He doesn't understand.
• Alison has already packed her bag. She wants to go home.
• Howie accidentally broke one of the wall ants.
• Erika and Janelle think George is smarter than he acts.
• They named the tarantulas (again) - Bunky is the hairiest one.
• Will claims to have pills that will keep him awake for 36 hours in endurance comps. (Yeah, just like he had cancer in his season!)

All are still asleep as I post this. Just a few observations from me -- the feeds don't time out after a half-hour anymore, the flameclouds and music are horribly annoying this season, Janelle and Howie don't seem to have quite the same relationship they did at the end of last season, and Alison should go home!

'BB7: All-Stars' Live Feeds Update - POV - 7/07

After a very, very extended period of awful music and flame/clouds, the feeds returned. The POV competition was something messy to do with fish and garbage. Alison is complaining of a fishy smell, plus she got hit on the head with some sort of wire cage. Jase was supposedly "covered with leftovers."

It appears, though I haven't heard verbal confirmation, that Janelle won the POV. She's wearing the POV necklace.

'BB7' Live Feeds Quickie Report 7/07

Nakomis and Danielle are awake, talking the evils of peanut butter and jelly and those of mayonaisse, too. Excitement galore, eh? James recently woke up.

Overnight there really wasn't a heck of a lot of strategy talk, no fisticuffs either.

A few notable mentions from overnight were:

• James wants to name the tarantulas Maggie, Beau and Eric
• Diane told Alison she's not a target
• Erika is smitten with Kaysar, he's polite to her
• George indeed did hurt his back in the HOH contest
• Erika tried to pry Kaysar over who he wants out - Will or James
• Howie drooled over Erika - he has a new crush now
• Lots of misc. talk of the various seasons
• They know there's a new twist with the PB&J, but they don't seem to know what will be "thrown at them"
• James wanted to tell the girls one of the tarantulas has escaped
• Janelle said that she and Jase want the nominations to remain the same -- Danielle and Alison
• Diane is nice to Alison's face, but then talks with Nakomis about how stupid she (Alison) is
• Diane claimed Drew was gay because he wouldn't sleep with her (@@)
• Jase said Cowboy was all heart and no brain (I agree - so glad he didn't make the cut for the show!)
• Janelle said Ivette broke up with Tush and sold her won Vespas
• The two veto players are going to be randomly chosen? Hmmm...
• Janelle and Marcellas made a vow to each other to be the final two

Now, as I've been writing this up, more houseguests are up. No game talk, per se.

And, AOL's very own Zoetawny has been being creative again! Here's her Jase/Howie pageturner! She rocks, y'know!

'BB7: All-Stars' Live Feeds Update (Quickie Report)

Just to let y'all know, I've had the feeds on since they started up. There's not a heck of a lot going on - no strategy talk that I've caught. Most of the HG are gathered in a big group; all are getting along well. The pool table is in use. The hot tub was in use.

About the only really worthy of report thing is that Erika is flirting big time with Kaysar, to the point where she jokingly suggested they get married. Her mom loves him, she loves him. She said he's the "new Omar Shariff." He seemed a bit embarrassed, but didn't reciprocate the intense attention.

BB gave them both wine and beer tonight.

BB has new annoying music they play with the fire/clouds each time they don't want us to hear what a HG says (usually something to do with someone who didn't sign a release to have info aired over the Internet). I prefer the bubbling fishtank, but that seems totally absent.

It would be nice if they split up a bit more, but it hasn't happened yet. I haven't seen any really decent screen cap opportunities. Eventually, I'll do a fire/clouds cap so you too can suffer.

'Big Brother 7: All-Stars' - Season Premiere

I think we're going to have a very interesting season in the Big Brother House. Of course, you would think that a few houseguests might want to think before scheming, but...!

Tonight's show began will Julie Chen gathering the Top Twenty contestants (announced on June 21). Similar to the nominations, she had a round podium with keys (or similar implements of entry). She announced she would draw the keys of the top four women voted by America and then the top four men, in no particular order. So, we don't know the top vote-getters themselves.

The top four women were Janelle, Erika, Nakomis, and Diane. They ran gleefully into the house and selected the room with the bed for four. Now, remember, Erika and Alison despise each other. Nakomis said she feels she's with a bunch of girly-girls. (I think compared to Nakomis, I'm a girly-girl and I'm so not a girly-girl!) I can't help but wonder how this rooming situation is going to play out. I doubt they'll be roommates for long together.

Then Julie named the top four men voted by America (or those who voted, anyway). Howie, Kaysar, James, and Jase headed into the house. Jase is plenty worried -- he's surrounded by BB6 houseguests! Can he con his way through the crowd? Is he as smart as he tells us he is? With Howie, it was all about "All-Star Boobies." Same old Howie, the ever-adolescent Jedi warrior.

Meanwhile, the rest of the twenty were looking very nervous. Cowboy was about to cry. Even the Evil Doctor Will looked worried. Then Julie announced six more were going in, not four more... for a total of fourteen houseguests. These were apparently the choice of the producers, as well as an attempt to have every season represented. The order in which she announced the six was: Will, Danielle, Marcellas, Alison, Mike, and George.

Once the houseguests were all gathered in the rather oddly decorated new house (huge bugs on walls, flames on another wall), beneath all the hugging and congratulating, the scheming started. Will and Mike teamed up, discussing how the BB6 players had to go. Will especially seems to not like Kaysar. Mike seemed to be the more mellow of the two, saying they had to play it cool. Everyone except the BB6 folks seem to be very worried about the sizable alliance they could very likely present.

With the HOH (Head of House) competition, Julie announced a new twist. There would be two winners sharing the HOH room. The winners had to agree on two nominations for eviction. If they didn't agree, they themselves would be put up on the block for eviction. The comp itself had half of the houseguests standing on a pedestal on a revolving round platform. The yard was done with stars all about and the other houseguests had to aim a 50-pound "meteor" suspended on a rope at them. Right away, it was obvious who was targeting whom -- not only to the viewers, but to the houseguests themselves.

Jase won the first round and when the groups rotated, Janelle won the second round. So, they're HOH. Danielle then did something that, as I watched, I thought was doomed to backfire. In thinking she was all that and such a superb schemer, she went about campaigning for Janelle and Jase to disagree on the noms, go up for eviction and then kind of backdoor (in a way) Janelle. She told George and Alison the plan. Alison went on to push it, but to also place some mistrust in Danielle herself, while George basically just laughed and said this is a totally different game than he played.

In the end, Janelle just got mad at both Danielle and Alison and Jase didn't want to take the chance of being booted. Janelle and Jase agreed on the nominations -- Danielle and Alison. Heh. I'd love to see Alison evicted, I really would. But I think Danielle may have put her own bad self out of the house by jumping into the scheming so soon. Oh, and Will better get off his high horse. I liked him in Season 2, but he's more full of himself now than he was then.

The live feeds should kick in at midnight (ET) tonight after the West Coast show. This could be very interesting, eh?

'Big Brother 7: All-Stars' East Coast Update - 7/06

All right, it's AWN! No Monica, but AWN anyway! As I posted in my spoilers post, there are fourteen houseguests, not twelve. We have George, Will, Marcellas, Howie, Mike, Jase, Diane, Alison, Nakomis, Kaysar, James, Janelle, Danielle, and Erika in the house. I didn't want Alison, but I think I didn't want Cowboy even more, so it's okay.

I'll be posting a full show report a bit later and will be looking at the live feeds. However, I wanted to give the update for the West Coast viewers, especially.

There are two HOH and they must agree on the nominations or they will go up for eviction themselves. Jase and Janelle won (as I previously reported) and their nominees are...

Alison and Danielle!

Okay, let's get Alison gone. Please!
