'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Digest - Overnight Into 7/17




The House of Big Personalities and Perhaps Even Bigger Bad Judgment was hopping last night.


Here's the latest:


  • Erika asked Kaysar if he still wants to get rid of the same person. He told her now it's Diane. She said she'll do whatever he wants her to do with the veto.
  • Janelle thinks they (Howie, James and herself) should tell Kaysar they should keep Nakomis. [Editor's note: Communication is key, guys!]
  • Marcellas and Danielle both are campaigning for Diane to stay.
  • Marcellas now feels better about Danielle being in the house than Mike/Will. He warned Janelle that Kaysar sold them out with his deal.
  • Will complained about Janelle in front of S6 Players.
  • Diane got sleazy and was giving body shots of alcohol to the guys.
  • BB won't allow them to have whipped cream in the hot tub. What a surprise, eh?
  • Kaysar told Marcellas why he wants to put up the stragglers while Marcellas tried to convince him Mike Boogie should go. [Editor's note: I agree with Marcellas!]
  • Will thinks Kaysar may put up Jase if the veto is used.
  • Diane went into a crying jag.
  • Will told Kaysar that Diane and Nakomis should stay and he should go on the block. [Editor's note: Say what? He did, he really did? But, did he mean it?]
  • Mike Boogie picked on Marcellas and now those two are nasty to each other.
  • Janelle had a verbal fuss with Mike Boogie and told him she didn't like him referring to her as Queen Bee.
  • Mike Boogie and Jase sucked up to Kaysar telling him how great he was doing as HOH. [Editor's note: Just a tad patronizing and condescending, eh? Dang, I hope Kaysar realizes this!]
  • Janelle lit into Kaysar about the problems with Chilltown. He tried to calm her down. She's mad about the deal he made and he seemed to basically dismiss her concerns.
  • Kaysar doesn't think Janelle and Howie are playing the game and he is. [Editor's note: Okay, Kaysar deserves an eyeroll. @@ ]
  • Mike ranted about Marcellas being with S6 Players and gloated about them all being scared of him. [ @@ ]
  • Mike and Will think that, with Howie, they'd make a great final three. [Editor's note: Ah, yes... they have taken a liking to Howie. Has he to them? I don't think so.]
  • Nakomis said she doesn't like people starting drama. [Editor's note: She's in the wrong house then. That's the point behind the show!]
  • Mike got drunk (thanks to BB) and was truly obnoxious for most of the night.
  • Kaysar still thinks he has some sort of Grand Plan. Janelle told him the CT was planning to come after them one by one. He asked if she wanted him to use the veto to evict one of them, she said yes. Then he said that Nakomis will come around to them if she stays, but they have to get rid of Diane.
  • Kaysar has a plan for if Mike wins HOH, but we got... flame/clouds and bad music before we could hear the plan.
  • Kaysar thinks Janelle has been listening to Marcellas too much while she's convinced the S6 Players are in danger.
  • Danielle complained to the S6 Players about Chilltown calling her out and bothering her.
  • George seems to have gravitated to Chilltown, but I'm not sure how well he's actually accepted by them.
  • A Kaysar quote: "In order for good to exist, there must be evil." Um. Okay. He could keep one evil and there would still be good.
  • Mike/Will worked on Howie trying to turn him against James.
  • Erika, Marcellas and Nakomis talked about how the Chilltown bunch was "strong-arming" everyone else.
  • Kaysar told Janelle he didn't want to let Nakomis know ahead of time that they were going to save her. He's upset that she already has talked to Nak about it.
  • Even Diane told Kaysar/Janelle that Chilltown was harassing Howie in the yard. Kaysar said Howie can handle it.
  • Kaysar wants Chicken George out next because he's with Chilltown. [Editor's note: Duh... and what are Mike and Will? @@ ]
  • Kaysar thinks Chilltown should be called Meltdown.
  • Kaysar thinks one reason they must keep Nakomis is because she's a threat to Jase.
  • Kaysar told Howie to stay on the same level with Chilltown, "Don't go Busto on them."
  • The last of the Up All Night Crowd, Janelle and Kaysar just went to sleep a bit before I'm posting this.

Well, it's happened. It took a while, but Big Brother's House is starting to explode. Or implode. Anyway, it's getting ugly. Yay!

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Into The Evening 7/16


Come tomorrow, the hamsters will have been in the Habitrail... er... Big Brother house for two weeks. Yes, they went in on Monday, July 3rd. How time flies when you're eating glop, bobbing for rats and having a jolly ol' time.

Here are the latest happenings I deemed important or amusing from the feeds in that Big Brother House of Deceitful Ne'er-do-wells:
  • James snapped at George only to find himself barraged by Marcellas' mouth. "You go right out and apologize to him! You had no right to be that way! He's the one who cooks! He's the one who cleans! We're just a bunch of [bleeping] slobs! He didn't deserve to be treated that way!" Eep.
  • Nakomis, while talking to Marcellas, referred to the show as the Jase, Boogie, Will and Howie Show.
  • Kaysar had a long talk with Mike Boogie about his religion and culture. Boogie actually was asking the questions and seemed interested. [Editor's note: Was he really interested or was this another act? I dunno.]
  • In the talk, Kaysar told him that Michael (BB6) was told he couldn't be on the show unless he (Kaysar) went on. He was worried about how he and his religion would be perceived, so the show had him call religious virgin Jason from BB3 to get his take on how a religious person might be able to be on the show and not compromise his values.
  • Jase and Will played with their mics, making funny noises and blowing air into them and such. BB Voice: "Please treat your microphone with respect."
  • Marcellas doesn't wear underwear. [Editor's note: No, I wasn't looking - he said he didn't and I didn't ask for proof!]
  • Janelle wants to boycott the Diary Room until she gets more pickles and honey for her BB Slop. James jumped on the bandwagon.
  • Janelle was called to the DR. After saying no, she went.
  • Janelle doesn't like Kaysar's hanging out with Mike/Will. But when James asked her if she thought he joined them, she said no. She also thinks that Howie has been hanging around them too much, too.
  • Janelle wants Diane gone this week.
  • Nakomis asked BB for cyanide and protein power. Janelle asked what cyanide is. [Editor's note: And she's the brains of the operation, right? Oh, Janie!]

That about does it for now. Tomorrow should be the POV Ceremony. That could be interesting. Not that we see it on the feeds, of course. But the HG loose lips sink ships and all.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Sunday 7/16 - Screen Caps


<--- Party animals after Mike's birthday festivities. And, what an unusual party it was. But that will come just a bit later in this report.

Right now, let's go back to this morning and start from there. Oh, okay... no one was awake. Turn those clock hands forward a smidgen and I'll dive right into the happenings of our favorite BB All-Star Whackos in the House of Both Slop and Slobs:

  • Mike was actually the first one up this morning at about 10:15 AM, their time. He was quickly joined by the usual first up Nakomis. Last night she tried to see if he would make any deals with her, but no go. Will he make any today?
  • Mike thinks his mother is probably upset because it's his birthday and he's her only child. [Editor's note: Oh, poor baby. He could just go home!]
  • The BB Slop has kicked in with the houseguests on restriction. Now they'd prefer PB&J. James whined and fussed about lacking energy from not eating.
  • Will was the last to straggle into the Land of the Living at around 12:30 PM their time.
  • Marcellas, Janelle, Danielle and Nakomis had a long talk about both Will and Jase. They think Will is definitely charismatic, but Jase is extremely bitter. [Editor's note: Gee, the HG from some past shows wouldn't know what "charismatic" means, to say nothing about pronouncing it right. At least this crew has some brights.]
  • A Will quote: "Call the FBI, because we're stealing the show!"
  • Will told Mike Boogie that they should lie to the house telling them there's a luxury comp. They would put the other men in indoor lockdown and send the girls to the pool in bikinis, then spend the day with them. [Editor's note: Well, it was better than his proposed lie that he had cancer in his season.]
  • Diane told the guys stories about all the men she's cheated on. [Editor's note: May I have an eyeroll, please? @@ ]
  • Will and Kaysar set up a surprise birthday party for Mike. They set up the table with cake and sushi.
  • Will conned Erika into laying on the table legs spread with all the food. Oh, and whipped cream, too. Her comment, "Why is it always me talked into this stuff?"
  • Will wrote Happy Birthday on Erika with the whipped cream. BB was sure to get a shot of it; that will make the show.
  • Party, party, sing, sing, blah, blah. Mike ate the whipped cream off of Erika, not really a surprise to me.
  • Before long, the BB Slop eaters drifted away with the exception of Howie.
  • Howie just walked around the table saying how good the food looked while Will kept egging him on to eat (thus receive a penalty nomination). Howie didn't fall for it.
  • Nakomis, Janelle and Marcellas sat in the yard. Marcellas ranted and raved, then ranted some more about the BB Slop. They think BB wants to drive them apart with the food. Marcellas thinks they started it too soon in the season and someone would just quit.
  • No one has quit.
  • Erika and Nakomis had a long talk. While Nakomis isn't campaigning against Diane, she's certainly working the mojo for herself. She was the early target and now just about the whole house likes her, at least the S6 Players and Friends.
  • Erika might very well use the veto to save Nakomis. At least, that seems to be the current thought.
  • Howie came into the backyard wearing only a party hat to cover his um... goods. Yes, I got a screen cap.
  • Janelle is solidly in favor of Nakomis staying. Even James is swinging in that direction.
  • Out of context here, but deserving of mention: Nakomis told Janelle and Marcellas that she first thought Howie was a bully, but now knows he's a sweetheart deep down inside.
  • Dang, forget about Jase being the bitter one. Marcellas makes him look like a pansy this afternoon. [Editor's note: I couldn't resist.]

Remember, the show is on at 8 PM ET/PT in most viewing areas tonight. Of course, I have my own private show goin' on right here.

'Big Brother 7 - All Stars' - Live Feeds Digest - Overnight Into 7/16


Like the Roman Empire, alliances are crumbling throughout the Big Brother house. Well, perhaps not crumbling, per se. Maybe changing would be a more apt description. Okay. Let me start over again. Like a perpetual motion machine, the alliances are... Oh, that's not working, either. One more try. Big Brother, who's on first? No, what's on second...!

Without further ado, here are the important, yet possibly confusing, events from the overnight in that House of Big Brotherly Love:
  • Remember, in my previous entry, I told of Kaysar's long and heartfelt talk with Nakomis. Her honesty and integrity seemed to impress him. Will it change his mind about the target this week? Or is a backdoor plan already in motion and she's not in the mix anyway? Like sand through the hourglass...
  • Will/Mike developed a new game trying to kick balls into Howie's family jewels. Boys will be boys.
  • Marcellas and Erika seem to have gravitated together.
  • Danielle told Erika that Nakomis keeps her word, but Diane doesn't. Erika thinks that if Diane (and the alleged Mr. and Mrs. Smith alliance with Jase) stays, she'll target S6 Players and not them. Erika told Danielle that she worked hard to make sure she (Danielle) stayed in the house.
  • Mike was running by the pool, fell and hit his back and head. Flame/clouds for a while, but he's okay. [Editor's note: 2 weeks in and the injuries are racking up -- Alison's head bonk in the POV Comp, George's back in the first HOH Comp, Erika's ribs in the food comp and now Mike's back and head.]
  • James said nominating people is harder this year because everyone gets along pretty well and likes each other. [Editor's note: And, how many people has James nominated this year? Um, none?]
  • James, Janelle and Howie had a long strategy talk. James thinks that Kaysar is afraid of Will/Mike and won't make important moves this year. He thinks Kaysar compromised the group to look out for his own best interests. Janelle admitted that Kaysar made a deal -- if he didn't nominate a Chilltown, they wouldn't go after him. James is very upset that Kaysar didn't confide in him regarding the nominations and he feels he's on his own again. He also thinks Diane and Nakomis are more trustworthy than Will/Mike. He thinks Kaysar is more worried about how he's perceived than how he plays the game. They all think Jase has slipped right in with the new Chilltown.
  • Janelle told James that Kaysar's deal with Chilltown was meant to make them not trust one another. [Editor's note: Okay, I haven't a clue how that would be better than just ridding the house of one of them.]
  • Kaysar told Erika to leave the nominations be. James and Co. want her to save someone and change the game around.
  • Even Kaysar's strongest support, Janelle, is upset with the nominations and the deal with Chilltown.
  • James and Janelle confronted Kaysar. Now Kaysar wants to save Nakomis. [Editor's note: As he should! She would be a much more worthy ally than either Mike or Boogie, and thinks along the lines of Kaysar even if right now her target is S6 Players. That's basically because they're the strongest alliance in the house.]
  • Kaysar wants to try to make a deal with Nakomis that Diane will go home. Janelle thinks it would be better to veto and put up Mike, he goes. Janelle thinks that if Diane stays, she will work with Mike/Will. They all think that if Nakomis makes any sort of deal, she'll stick with it.
  • Kaysar still wants to send Diane home, keep friction going between Nakomis/Jase and Marcellas/Danielle to take the focus off of the S6 Players.
  • Janelle and James said that they would have to accept Nakomis as "one of us" if they save her. [Editor's note: Remember, Howie despises Nakomis and James ain't too thrilled with her, either.]
  • When BB told the HG to check the storage room, like a miracle... more alcohol. @@ - Must roll the eyes. Must.
  • Then most of the HG played charades. For a very long, long time.
  • James keeps on whining about Kaysar making bad decisions, claims Kay wants them to do his dirty work. He thinks they should put a plan in place to save Nakomis because she's the smarter player and will fit in well with the S6 alliance. He thinks Diane's off the deep end and will go for them.
  • Like I think, the S6 Players all seem to think that Nakomis is someone who'd stick to her word and Diane isn't.
  • The HG thinks the producers are upset because their personas have changed -- Will isn't such the Evil Doctor, etc. That got us flame/clouds... with bad music.
  • Will blatantly made a banana split in front of those who can only eat BB Slop supposedly in an effort to entice one to eat, thus getting a penalty nomination. It didn't work.
  • Marcellas thinks he could win on Survivor. [Editor's note: Another @@ needed. I can just see him with bugs and nasty stuff, right.]
  • Kaysar was the last one still up. He did his prayers and looks very troubled.

In other news, Happy Birthday Mike Boogie. There, I said it. Only to be nice, y'know. I don't want Chilltown coming after me.

'BB7: All-Stars' - Live Feeds Update - Since POV 7/15

<--- America's Got Talent

It's been an odd day for the live feeds. It seems there's someone manning a BB camera with a quick trigger finger for blocking. The slightest perhaps violation of maybe singing a song brings up the flame/clouds with or without trivia, but always with bad music. Plus, the cams have been all focusing on one person or one room instead of providing any variety. Heck, if I didn't know others existed, I'd think Diane, Nakomis and perhaps Marcellas were the only houseguests. With the exception of very brief showings of the others, that's who I've been seeing for the most part.

Here are some of the more interesting things going on in the House of Damsels in Distress:

  • Kaysar said something about Diane making the house uncomfortable in the nomination speech and that's upsetting Diane. She thinks it's a sign that they want them out.
  • Danielle talked at length about her various jobs and how things always work out for the best in the long run.
  • The HG are really experimenting and requesting things to spice up the BB Slop.
  • George deep-fried the BB Slop and that seemed popular.
  • Diane talked about being a stand-in on NCIS for a few months. [Editor's note: But she earlier claimed to never have gotten her SAG card? Huh?]
  • James is working Diane for some reason. I don't know if he's trying to get information for S6 or for his own odd agenda. He told her it was his idea to nominate Danielle. He also went on about S6 Players betraying him in that season. What's he up to? Anyone know?
  • Marcellas told Diane he's working the house to try to have her stay. He suggested she tell the S6 Players she won't target Janelle if she stays.
  • James told Kaysar that Mike/Will told him they're worried about one of them being a planned backdoor move this week. When he asked Kaysar how they were voting, Kaysar said, "Nakomis." [Editor's note: I'm beginning to think a backdoor might very well be in progress, but no one would ever tell James.]
  • Will told Diane that they're working for her to stay.
  • Danielle asked James who Kaysar wants out. He told her he didn't know, but he personally was voting Nakomis.
  • The BB contract says houseguests can be on food restrictions for up to four weeks in a row.
  • We watched Danielle sleep for a while... on all four feeds. The greens were nice, at least.
  • Small talk going on now, Nakomis and Kaysar. Not strategy talk, small talk.
