'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - After Nominations - Fri. 7/28

So, the noms are in and it's Friday night. How are Mike Boogie and Erika dealing with their personal and shared situation? Will Will push Mike Boogie aside and say, "No, me! I want to go home! I hate you all!" Will George quietly eat his BB Slop and stay out of the line of fire?

Here's what's been going on in the Big Brother House of Newly Nominated Nuts and Naysayers Who Love Them:
  • Howie and James don't think Erika and Mike were the best decision Janelle could make.
  • Janelle felt sorry for Diane after her chat with her last night, so didn't nominate her. [Editor's note: Argh! I cannot believe this! Diane may have people feel sorry for her straight through to the end of the season! I personally would rather see lying and scheming than "poor pitiful me."]
  • Janelle is worried how Eirka will take the nomination even though she's the pawn and Mike's the target. [Editor's note: Pawns sometimes go bye-bye. If you don't want someone to go, don't nominate them. Using a pawn is never a safe or sure deal.]
  • Will told Mike Boogie to be cool about things and it could be the pawn to leave. [Editor's note: See! See! Will knows!]
  • Marcellas, Diane, Danielle and Erika talked. They said they had to make sure the vote went the "right way." Marcellas is angry - said Janelle skipped a step. [Editor's note: Will and Mike? I'm not sure.]
  • Kaysar told Erika she has his vote and Janelle assured her she's staying.
  • Kaysar and Janelle are worried about Will or Mike winning POV, more worried about Will.
  • James once again complained about his own alliance's choices to others outside the alliance. That will come back to bite him just as it did in S6, I think. He told Danielle and Erika they were "half-assed" nominations.
  • Mike and Erika talked (remember, they're working together and supposedly dating outside of the house). They think the noms were actually a very good move on Janelle's part. She considers herself an "undercover ChillTown," not a floater. She thinks the only true floater in the house is Chicken George.
  • George told Kaysar that this game is more stressful than the season he was in as the houseguests just nominated, no flipping, no alliances.
  • Diane told Marcellas she can talk George into anything.
  • Danielle tried to work Janelle for information. She said she didn't understand the nominations. Janelle told her, when asked, that if a veto is used, then George would go on the block. She also said no one told her who to nominate; Erika and Mike were her own choices.
  • Apparently Janelle said she dislikes Mike in her nomination speech. She said she didn't mean for that to come out.
  • A Will quote: "The good thing about not eating and the nominations is that this house can't get any worse!" [Editor's note: Wait until that wake-up bit starts, Will!]
  • Marcellas and Janelle once again talked about going to the final two together.
  • Boogie pried Diane for info regarding how many votes he might get to stay if the nominations hold.
  • Danielle, in addition to trying to get info from Janelle, went to Erika to play that side, too... saying she didn't understand the noms. Erika mentioned it might be intentional, but didn't elaborate.
  • Will said the show would sue him for breech of contract if... FLAME/CLOUDS [Editor's note: Hmmm...]
  • Most are talking of going to bed early tonight. [Editor's note: Phew! I need the sleep!]
  • Danielle is now working the Kaysar angle with not understanding the noms -- "Why did you take out someone who wasn't a threat to you last week and he went out ugly?" "Why aren't you taking out the threat this week?" [Editor's note: I'm not sure if she wants Will and Mike to both be up or Diane targeted. I think it could very well be Diane who's stuck in her mind.]

And there you go.

Erika and Mike Boogie are on the block, with Mike being the target.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Update - Fri. 7/28


When they're up for most of the night, we're lucky if they're up by 11 or noon their time. Which, but of course, is afternoon from where I write this on the East Coast. So went today... again.

Here's what's been going on in that Big Brother House of Floating, Flatulence and Falliances (Failed Alliances):
  • When they straggled out of bed, the plasma screen read "Nominations Today." Rah!
  • Will told Danielle that BB put an end to his "refuse to eat food and get a penalty nom" talk. They'll turn it into a "refuse to eat food and get a lawsuit."
  • Will offered to be put up as a pawn.
  • Janelle wants to take out floaters, but isn't certain. She doesn't want them mad at her... yet.
  • Howie asked James if he was planning to ally with Danielle and overthrow the S6.
  • James told Janelle and Howie that Danielle won't nominate S6, but Marcellas would nominate Howie and Kaysar.
  • James tells them he won't vote out Danielle.
  • James still has it in his mind that Jase is returning [@@] and that CT would then be three strong.
  • Will likened BB Slop to licking a brick.
  • Will tried to convince Janelle to put up Erika and get rid of her.
  • Janelle told Will her plan is to put up Boogie and Chicken George, then backdoor a floater. She didn't specify whom, but this was WILL she's telling. Yikes.
  • Will tried to convince her that no one wants to be in the end with Kaysar and that he threw their alliance under the bus by not targeting ChillTown immediately.
  • Will wants her to nominate Erika and Danielle and then come over to the Dark Side (ChillTown) as her alliance is falling apart (S6).
  • He told her that he and Mike Boogie would never nominate her or vote her out. [Editor's note: Would anyone like to buy a bridge in Brooklyn? I have one here for sale!]
  • When Howie entered the room, Will tried basically the same approach on him. @@
  • There's an outdoor lockdown with Janelle called to the DR. We had the other houseguests in the backyard for a while, but now it's been flame/clouds (with bad music) long enough that I think the Nominations Ceremony is on. As soon as I know the noms, I'll post a bulletin. Stay tuned.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Overnight Into Friday 7/28


Once again, it was an all-nighter for most of the Big Brother houseguests. I heard one of them joke about how they've become nocturnal vampires living for the night. Now, I guess that's okay -- I'm on vacation this week, but return to work next week. I prefer they sleep while I work.

So, what else happened last night in that Big Brother House of Violent Pink and PuppetMasters? Here's the skinny:
  • In my last report I said it appeared the food comp has taken place. It seems to have been some kind of violent game with balls. Kaysar, Janelle, Howie and James don't seem to be on BB Slop. Marcellas, Boogie, Diane, Will and Erika do seem to be restricted. George, we know is on Slop. I believe Danielle is on Slop, too.
  • James pushed Kaysar for info and seems to feel left out of S6. [Editor's note: As he is and should feel!]
  • When he met with Janelle and Kaysar, James pushed a Marcellas boot, like that would work. Janelle wants to evict Diane -- a direct threat to her. [Editor's note: She has a point. We viewers know that Diane promised Alison she'd go for Janelle.]
  • James then went on and on about removing ChillTown and/or Erika. Janelle and Kaysar stuck with floaters -- Janelle with Diane, in particular, to save herself.
  • No one thinks George should be a nomination this week. They do think Mike Boogie should go up to make Marcellas a happy gay black kinda guy.
  • James got really pushy in the talk with S6. He may have overstepped his bounds with them. Y'know, sometimes it's best just to be a bit more quiet.
  • When thinking or nervous, Kaysar still twirls imaginary curls. I guess the habit is that ingrained. Odd.
  • Kaysar doesn't trust Marcellas and Janelle doesn't respect the way he plays (but likes him).
  • In their own talk, Danielle, Erika and Marcellas decided they wanted to see Chicken George on the block again. Lucky for George, they're not in the HOH alliance.
  • Will wanted to know what happens if they eat food, not BB Slop.
  • Danielle thinks S6 Players will nominate Boogie and George. Well, she may be half-right.
  • Meanwhile, S6 is still at it with the majority pushing for a Diane eviction and James on his pissy Boogie whine. He'd better watch it - he's alienating himself further from what's supposed to be his own alliance.
  • The HOH brainstorming was broken up when Will entered to take a bath in the HOH bathroom.
  • Will yelled for someone to get the rubber duckies from the yard and pool because he wanted to do a puppet show in the bathtub. [Editor's note: Ah, the PuppetMaster has returned to the BB House!]
  • James told Diane she's in danger and that she should go to S6 and let them know they're not her targets. She got ticked and refused to tell them anything. Earlier she had told James that she wasn't after him or Howie, thus implying Janelle and Kaysar were on her radar.
  • As Will played with the duckie puppet show, Kaysar said he'd recommend the BB shrink talk to him.
  • Will named his own duckie character Dr. McDreamy.
  • In an aside from the puppet show, Will told Kaysar he was going to go for a penalty nomination. [Editor's note: AHA! AHA! Just like he and Mike Boogie discussed yesterday as their next strategical move to convince S6 he wants to go home! AHA!]
  • Janelle and Kaysar seem to be believing Will and Boogie more and more each day. Howie not so much. [Editor's note: I've always said I thought Howie was a bit smarter than he often acts.]
  • Howie asked Janelle why James is working so hard to save Diane. [Editor's note: I think his cogs are turning. James = Snake. He does.]
  • Meanwhile, Will's puppet show has the S6 and ChillTown ducks going to the final six and sharing the winnings. [Editor's note: The HG may not discuss sharing the winnings, but I guess it's okay for ducks to do so.]
  • James told Danielle that S6 will be nominating Mike and Diane, but Diane will go. [Editor's note: Snake alert! Snake alert! Where's the anti-venom?]
  • When alone in the bathroom, Will lined up all the duckies. He then knocked them one by one into the tub in this order (he named the ducks) -- Howie, James, Kaysar, Janelle and Boogie -- left with his own duckie, he gave an evil smirk.
  • Diane made the move to have a talk with Janelle. She told her she felt she was a target -- Jase had told her S6 was after her. She feels she's all alone in the house - people stop talking when she enters a room. She wants to stay long enough to make sequester. [Editor's note: Remember, she has no job and was living out of her car.]
  • Janelle seemed to believe Diane, at least to a point. Yikes.
  • Janelle told Kaysar she doesn't think Diane is a threat and mentions putting up Chicken George with Mike Boogie. Eep.
  • Kaysar thinks Danielle will strike against them and wonder if it's time to go for her first. He's also concerned that James will jump ship from their alliance.
  • Janelle told Kaysar and Howie she wants to put up Will and George and backdoor...? Kaysar asked her who was the backdoor and she wouldn't say. I assume Mike Boogie.
  • Janelle and Kaysar are seriously worried about the Snake. As they should be.
  • Marcellas thinks Danielle is "deadly."
  • Howie was the last one up and went to bed just before dawn there.
  • These guys MUST start going to bed a bit earlier. They MUST.

At least they don't have to get up early for a food comp.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Since Live Show - Thur. Evening 7/27

Dirty Socks Doc
<--- Will looks pensive as he lounges while listening to other houseguests discuss trivial things like movies. Is he plotting and scheming? Or is he thinking that his socks need washing? I just don't know. He's a man of mystery, y'know...

The live feeds returned shortly after the live show ended.

Here's what's been happening since the show in that Big Brother House of Crushed Dreams and a Winning Buxom Blonde:
  • Danielle is pretty upset after the Jase exit.
  • Danielle explained to Mike Boogie the reason Marcellas took him out of the HOH Comp was because Mike had been saying he was a target. Mike claimed not to remember saying that. [Editor's note: Did, too! @@ An eyeroll for Mikey!]
  • Mike then said he just wanted S6 to think that, Marcellas isn't his target.
  • Janelle said she didn't throw the competition to Marcellas because she was thinking of all the food the HOH receives.
  • Erika told Janelle and Marcellas that Mike Boogie is mad about the comp. [Editor's note: Well, duh. I bet they could figure that out on their own, don't you?]
  • Will thinks he should just leave his bag packed by the door.
  • Will also thinks tonight's live show was edited to make it look like he was leaving. [Editor's note: Yup!]
  • Mike Boogie went off on the floaters not taking out S6 Players in the comp.
  • When Mike wondered aloud to Will about Jase asking that only Diane and Danielle walk him out, Will told him it just goes to show when you think you know what's going on in the house, you don't.
  • Mike went on and on about how much money both he and Will have while the others will NEVER have that much. [Editor's note: Another reason I don't like Mike. Not that he has money, but that he thinks it makes him better than others. Feh.]
  • Will and Mike Boogie discussed throwing the food comp if Mike goes on the block.
  • James is upset that he no longer has his HOH Sarah photographs.
  • Will told Danielle that his loyalty is with Mike first, her second. [Editor's note: !!! Important, I think!] Danielle told him she thinks they're safe -- she thinks that they'll go after Erika, Diane or George.
  • Their feast was Chinese food. Will once again requested that George be allowed to eat. Once again, BB didn't answer. Janelle's fortune cookie read: "You will make a change for the better."
  • Will said he's going to improve his behavior. [Editor's note: @@ Sure, Will.]
  • Mike Boogie whined to Marcellas about the S6 Players. When he couldn't get him against them, he worked his Erika suspicious angle on him.
  • The HOH Discovery was only on audio while the video was flame/clouds. Janelle said it was "Hello Kitty Pink" and there was the usual hustle-bustle and fake praise.
  • It is pink. Way too pink.EEK PINK
  • Janelle, Howie and Kaysar (note, no James) talked about nomination choices. They seem to be leaning towards Diane as one, Mike Boogie as the other.
  • Kaysar wondered why the Jase vote was unanimous. Did Danielle get George to change his vote? He wants to talk to George and possibly take him under his wing. [Editor's note: Earlier, though I forgot to mention it, James told Howie he was taking George under his wing. Looks like the Chicken now has wings. Maybe he'll soar! Oh, wait, chickens can't fly far, can they?]
  • Long, long feeds block as I re-typed this. Storms rolling through blinked my power for a few minutes on my first try.
  • It sounds like they had the food comp when the feeds were blocked for so long. Some of the house is on Slop -- Boogie and Erika, at least. None of the S6 are on it. I don't know about the others. It was something physical with a ball. Erika whined that it was unfair.

That's it for now!
