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!More to follow and, if you want the freshest post in this blog, sometimes if you hit the July archive button on the right sidebar, it may bring up something you're not seeing on the main page. And, if you come here via a post link, if you hit the blog title it will bring up the main page.
Yep, it's almost here. I apparently didn't pick up on one thing in my report from yesterday -- there seem to be not one, but two HOH winners. Both Janelle and Jase seem to hold the spot.Also, the pets seem to be tarantulas this season.Cool.
Just as they've done in previous seasons, the feeds have spilled the beans. Avid viewers of the feeds have been watching what I described as angry clouds and what others call flames looping on all four cams. Then, lo and behold, by accident (yeah, right) the feeds actually got off the loop and went live with audio.Beware, this article is full of spoilers. If you don't want to know, move along. There's a lot to see here.Who's in the house? Well, we have Jase, Howie, Dr. Will, Alison, Nakomis, Mike Boogie, Janelle, Danielle, Erika, James, Kaysar, Marcellas, Diane, and George.And, what's the talk?- Jase told Alison he wanted Janelle gone first
- Janelle and Alison got into some sort of trouble for moving furniture
- Danielle and Kaysar talked about Ivette and it looks like Danielle is trying to get in with the Season 6 crowd as they have the most numbers
- When Jase and Howie were talking, it seemed that Jase wanted an alliance and Howie didn't think it would work
- Howie told Jase that if someone needed to go, they can't be put on a back burner or it will "come back to bite you"
- The (HoH?) competition had something to do with throwing stuff
- Danielle told Kaysar that she thinks Marcellas is coming after her
- Danielle thinks she and Will will be nominated
- Howie called Marcellas "Marjealous" and talked of being a Jedi
- George may have broken the washing machine
- Mike and Will deny having an alliance to Jase
- References Danielle made make it sound like Janelle may be HOH (Head of House)
- Danielle, Alison and George are very worried that Season 6 houseguests will pick them off one by one
- There is a lot of talk about "backdooring" someone - Jase, maybe?
That's all for now!
It's getting closer! Since the television premiere is only four days away, it's very possible that the houseguests are already in the house. They typically go in three or four days before the season starts so that producers have footage for the premiere.So, who's going in the house? How do you get the feeds? Where do you get them? What's this about 14 houseguests instead of 12? What's the buzz...tell me what's a'happenin'...!Once again, the 24/7 live feeds will be available through RealNetworks, for a price, of course. They'll be doing a two-week free promotion that you may want to give a try starting on July 6, although I'm not sure if the feeds will kick in after the show airs on the West Coast or during East Coast time. For the life of me, I can't recall when they started for real last year. I recall there were several most likely intentional "slips" after the feeds showed fishcam (video of the fishtank) last season a few days prior to the season debut. CBS will place episodes the day after airing on their Innertube video site. The individual episodes will be archived and available to viewers throughout the season.Despite the hype about America choosing the houseguests, only six (three male, three female) will be chosen by the votes at the CBS website. The other six, possibly eight, will be chosen by CBS producers. It's very evident that CBS wants big personalities and even bigger egos in the house this summer. So, it's likely that we'll see folks like Dr. Will, Jase, and Alison instead of people like Cowboy.Fourteen houseguests? Didn't I mean twelve? Here's where there's a bit of speculation. In the house tour, there are fourteen frames on the Wall of Memories, not twelve. Does that mean two more houseguests? Or is it a red herring? Only time will tell, but I personally think we'll see the larger number with some sort of twist to kick off the season.This season will debut the Big Brother Mobile Pack subscription -- Special producers will be monitoring the house supplying subscribers with video clips, photos, breaking news live house alerts, and daily insider summaries via their cell phones. Fans will also have access to exclusive video, photos, and text diaries of their favorite Houseguests. The service will be available on most major wireless carriers. Fans will be able to subscribe through the CBS website and on-air callouts during the shows. Cingular Wireless will be sponsoring America's Vote as well as a weekly "Who Gets Evicted" poll with a cash prize of $10,000 per eviction going out to a lucky viewer.The popular Internet talk show House Calls will resume hosted by Gretchen Massey and available on the CBS website. Gee, there's no mention of her sidekick Marcellas. Could he be...in the house? They've updated the schedule (thrice weekly) to drop the Saturday night show and air it on Sunday instead. I personally think that's a good move and less likely to be interfered with by baseball game pre-empts. So, the set weekly schedule wil be: Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, 8 PM ET/PT.
I think it may be sinking through to foul-mouthed, sometimes fowl-cooking Chef Gordon Ramsay that he has no real winners with the candidates this season. I personally don't think any of these folks could make it past greasy-spoon or, perhaps the best might make the line at a franchise restaurant. That's sad.
As the show opened for the fourth episode of Suppose They Gave A Gender War And Nobody Came, Garrett was complaining that Tom was dragging down the mens' team. Well, yeah...but so did Giacomo. And Keith's too busy "rocking" his pants and "rolling" down the street to ever make it through to the end. For some reason, I can't see anyone with the nickname of K-Grease running a fancy-schmancy Zagat-rated restaurant. Go back to Jersey and work a diner down the shore, Keith. Oh -- and take Tom with you! So, who's the most normal on the mens' team? Garret, the ex-prisoner prison chef. Can I get an eyeroll from everyone, please?As far as the women, I still like Heather for the win. That is, unless Ramsay decides none of these frycooks are up to the challenge. Each week, Sara is irritating me more and more. Virginia and Rachel are ho-hum at the best, inept at the worst. And, Maribel is still so out of her league that it's shocking she doesn't spend entire episodes in a panic attack.Due to the fact the men were down to three, Ramsay declared that Rachel, Sara and Heather were leaders. The men needed a leader, so he gave them Heather. Then they all went off to eat at the busiest restaurant in Los Angeles, Pinks. It's a hot dog/fast food place.The first challenge for the teams this week was to serve lunch to a bunch of brats (ahem) children who were obviously told to be on their worst behavior. Kids never act like that when their parents aren't with them to give dirty looks to strangers who dare say something about their behavior! Both teams actually completed the service -- pizza, hamburgers, french fries and cake. The Blue Team (men plus Heather) narrowly got the win and went off to an amusement park.The Red Team (women) had to clean up the dining room which was destroyed by the children. Sara acted like a real jerk, laughing and not taking the loss seriously at all. I did have to smile when she inhaled helium from a balloon and imitated Ramsay. But, other than that, all she did was irk her fellow team members.
When the actual dinner service went down later that night, once again it was a catastrophe. I didn't expect it to be anything but one, so I rocked my pants and settled in. That Sara must go away. She really must! She literally sabotaged Virginia in Ramsay's eyes by letting her take the fall for something done wrong. On the Blue Team, Heather was babysitting the men and, surprise of all surprises, Tom was royally screwing up the meat station so much so that Ramsay pulled him and stuck Keith in his place.Eventually Ramsay had his meltdown and closed the kitchen while patrons were still awaiting entrees. As one person said, "I guess this means we're not getting dessert." In his rage, he told both teams to nominate someone for elimination.The women should have nominated Sara. But did they? Nope. They nominated Virginia. Chef Ramsay obviously thought they should have nominated Rachel. Sara, I say! Sara! The Men Plus One got their nomination right -- they nominated Tom. Of course, he was full of bravado boasting he wouldn't be eliminated, but guess what? As Caroline would say to Trump, "This was a no-brainer." Buh-bye, Tom!He should never have been on the show to begin with. In tonight's show he mentioned that this is his fourth career in his 43 years. I wouldn't even want him cooking hamburgers the way he sweats into the food. Hmmm...a good career for Tom? Um, how about cleaning subways? And I don't mean the restaurant!
