'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?
