'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!
