'Big Brother 7: All-Stars' - Live Feeds Digest - Evening/Overnight 7/11 into 7/12

I don't think BB was quite prepared for all the reminiscing betwixt seasons that we're seeing. In a way, it's kind of interesting and gives us a bit of an "insider" point of view on the show. But, the extent of the "insider" talk tends to drone on and on. And on and on. Heck, I like the scheming! So, let's go for it -- the most interesting bits on the feeds from last night and through to this morning.

• Mike keeps acting as the mouthpiece for Will -- the other HG think of Mike/Will as one and the same. He tried to get Kaysar to ally with him, but Kaysar saw through the doubletalk and pointed out that he wasn't even telling him anything -- not even the eviction vote choice.
• Danielle told James she wouldn't target the S6 next week.
• James wants to target Chicken George. [Editor's note: I'm wondering why some think of George as such a threat. He could easily be removed at any time in the game. He's not good at comps and isn't a part of any huge alliance. If I were in the house, I'd consider him as fluff I could blow away at any time. I'd go to break up the power players.]
• Marcellas and Janelle had a really long talk. He SO wants Danielle out, but it's like Janelle has magical powers over him -- he will vote Alison out for her. I think he's in love. Or something. She's got him infatuated and wrapped around her pinkie. Speaking of which, I have seen Nakomis make no pinkie swears yet this season. Cool beans.
• Howie, for a change, talked about sex. Heh.
• Jase seems to be instigating Howie's picking on Nakomis bit. As I said, Howie should be careful. Nakomis isn't April.
• Erika told Janelle that Jase is running around campaigning to save Alison. (He is.)
• Janelle and Erika claim they trust each other. I would trust no one.
• Alison once again worked on George. Whether he believes all her lies or not, I don't know. He's the show wildcard -- it's hard to tell how much he actually understands all the devious plays, that wasn't around in his season.
• George shook hands with Danielle to keep her. Maybe he's devious himself. I guess we'll see.
• Before the show started, someone who lived with Diane informed Janelle (possibly the whole cast) that there would be a Mr. and Mrs. Smith alliance -- Diane studied all the past seasons, was hanging out with Alison and Jase, their alliance was the "Smiths." They supposedly contacted Will and Mike, told them to throw the first HOH so "Smiths" could win, Kaysar and Janelle would go up, Janelle evicted. This is all according to Janelle.
• Alison hid and eavesdropped on the other houseguests.
• Howie seems to have a regularly scheduled Rant Against Nakomis bit this season. I feel he's making a huge mistake.
• Nakomis and Diane seem to have formed an alliance. And, at this time, they're both upset that Alison is talking about different things they said in confidence.
• Alison tried to work on Erika, telling her she wouldn't be the target if she stays.
• Janelle told Marcellas she'd choose him over Howie, Kaysar and James if it came to that. Could it be love? Or is it just strategy?
• Marcellas, perhaps successfully, worked on Nakomis to vote out Alison.
• James is upset that Janelle talks to Jase too much and tells too much.
• James talked to Diane about George's probable vote flip-flop. No one is sure where George stands.
• Howie admitted that Nakomis is a good and smart player. (Of course, that won't stop him from picking on her!)
• Kaysar told Janelle not to let Marcellas think he has too much power in the house.
• Once again, some of the HG stayed up for most of the night. They're all asleep as I post this.

'Big Brother 7: All-Stars' - Live Feeds Digest - Tue. 7/11 Day

Another edge-of-your-seat day of excitement in the BB7 House today!

Well, um... okay, they're still a bit on the boring side, but that's always the case this early in the season.

Here's some of the highlights (and lowlights, and some in between stuff) from today's live feeds up until the time I post this:

• As the pattern has been going so far, Danielle and Nakomis were the early risers. We're talking early at past 9:30 AM, though. Not early like Jack was.
• Danielle tried to convince Nakomis to be her partner until the end (sort of like her alliance with Jason). Nakomis wouldn't commit -- said she got involved too early in her own season and got burnt.
• Most of the rest of the houseguests straggled through by noon their time. [Editor's note: @@ I must give an eyeroll to that. C'mon, BB...set a curfew on these guys! The only good thing about them sleeping in is that I'm home from work not long after they awaken. Sheesh.]
• BB kept reminding sleeping HG that all lights in the house must remain on during the day.
• James told Alison he wished he were gay as gay men in the house are never targets. [Editor's note: I think he may be right! None have won, but the past gay guys in the house were never immediate targets. Kind of moot in this season, though. Here, they all know each other's past season strategies.]
• Nakomis and James seem to be getting along well. They jokingly (or not) made a final two agreement.
• They still think BB will make them eat bugs instead of PB&J. No bugs eaten yet, no food comps yet.
• Lots of talks of websites, some exercise, some singing -- flame/clouds!
• Will told the HG that if they want over-the-counter drugs, they have to ask BB for them now because he can no longer give them out. BB announcement: "Do NOT discuss Diary Room sessions!" Will's reply: "You TOLD me to tell them!"
• Will said lots of nasties about Internet fans. I'm hurt. I really am.
• Will also thinks the show (producers) plays favorites. The HG concensus was they do.
• Erika told Mike that Diane and Nakomis would target him and Will if the S6 players didn't. She told him Diane and Nakomis are lying to him.
• Mike pried Howie for strategy info...again. He's also saying that James can't be trusted and trying to make the S6 players doubt his status in their alliance. [Editor's note: Duh. They already don't trust James. And, he is working a bit with Danielle. Duh.]
• Kaysar still wants Alison to be the one evicted this week.
• Danielle told James that if she stays, she won't target S6 players.
• Alison tried to get in with George. Now, that shows she's desperate.
• Nakomis told Marcellas that Alison is sloppy in her lies and that Mike/Will are trying to bully her. She thinks Alison is just a liar, but Danielle is sneaky.

And that's that for now. More later!

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.
