'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Update - Evening/Overnight Into Wed. 8/02

Okay, we're talking past 8 AM ET or 5 AM their time... and a whole group is STILL up once again. Argh. Vampires, I swear they're vampires. Want to know why Will is so pale? It's because he's a vampire! That's it!

Yes, Will is with the Stay Up All Night Sleep All Day Crowd now. It's Danielle, Janelle, Howie, Kaysar, Mike (fell asleep on couch it seems) and Will. No James, but rest assured... I'm sure Danielle will tell him everything said. Not that they've been talking about much of consequence, mind you. It's been basically small talk, friendly, no scheming. Did you realize Will is hungry? Well, he is!

Actually, the evening wasn't a thrill a minute in the house last night, either. Perhaps they're burnt out from all the odd timing of competitions and their "exciting" luxury comp. I don't know. But, here's what's been happening in that Big Brother House of Fickle Fate and a Bitter Boy:

  • Janelle confided in Kaysar that she's worried about Danielle and how close Danielle is with James. Kaysar doesn't seem to think it's a big issue or he's playing his own cards close to his chest.
  • Both are concerned with James peeling off from S6 so soon.
  • Will is still talking about someone coming back into the house with different scenarios about who it could be. [Editor's note: Be aware that the thought of someone returning is because evicted have returned other seasons. The HG have no basis for believing it except for past seasons. They should know to expect the unexpected. If they expect someone to return, it probably won't happen! I have no idea, myself.]
  • Will says that if he wins HOH, he'll go to the five who have never been nominated and have the house decide who goes on the block and who would go up if a Veto is used. That way the whole house would turn on each other.
  • Diane is still holding onto a dream (of not living in her car). She asked Howie for his vote and, he was nice to her but told her he already promised Erika.
  • Howie and Janelle continued studying the house for future comps -- they counted the lamps, ducks, cabinets, furniture and more.
  • Mike Boogie and Howie complained that Marcellas is so negative that he brings the whole house down. [Editor's note: They have a point. Marcellas is not a bundle of joy this season.]
  • Even though he's on BB Slop, George cooked dinner for everyone who could eat - tacos. [Editor's note: Probably so he could lick his fingers afterwards!]
  • Marcellas told James he would save him over any of the four... including Janelle.
  • A Will Quote: "If you are watching this on the Internet now, there is something inherently wrong with you." [Editor's note: I never said there wasn't, Will. Nyah!]
  • Will and Mike Boogie think the audience likes S6 and doesn't like them. Me? I didn't like Boogie in his season and was happy when he was evicted. I grew addicted to watching Will and cheered him on for the win. My favorite bit was when he tormented Nicole with the race car. This season? Well, I still don't like Mike Boogie, but it's not as bad as in his own season. And, I'm liking Will more and more. It's not that I dislike Janelle, Howie and Kaysar. James? He's bugging me. He can go away. He takes the whole thing too seriously and has way too high opinion of himself and his own gameplaying. Feh.
  • James told Danielle that Mike said their alliance (Will, Danielle, Mike and James) is the Fantastic Four. [Editor's note: @@ I think Will and Mike are using James more than they're using Janelle. I have a feeling in the end that they'll be more loyal to Janelle... at least Will will be.]
  • Janelle and Howie think Danielle will nominate them if she gets HOH. Howie says he'll hold James responsible if she does.
  • Will's hungry. He would pay big money for food - $500 for a cheese pizza.
  • Kaysar and Janelle are still talking as I post this. Eep. It's now about 6 AM their time. It's not even really strategy talk, per se.

Screen caps by um... well, me. And them... the houseguests and CBS. I just snag 'em.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Update - Daytime Tues. 8/01


When I last posted at 7 AM ET, several of the houseguests were still awake. Several remained awake. Several went to bed past 5 AM their time (PT). It reminds me of little kids on a sleep-over spending the night awake. No wonder they sleep most of the day. (And some don't do well in comps.)

Here are the happenings from today in that Big Brother House of "Give Me The Night" --
  • Janelle told Howie that she wanted Chicken George gone before sequester. He disagrees. He thinks that George is a "fan" and would be a vote for them, especially because of Howie and James.
  • Erika and Danielle got up before 9:30 AM their time even though both were up past 4 AM.
  • At around noon (PT), Danielle told James Will wanted to talk to him.
  • James told Danielle that Will always seems to be avoiding him. But, since Janelle "sold out their entire alliance" he would be interesting in joining up with them -- they would be the most "evil alliance" ever. He also told her that Diane was told by S6 she'd be safe (and they broke their word, implied). [Editor's note: How quickly the worm turns...!] He also claimed Janelle cheated on the HOH Comp.
  • Danielle told James that Diane knows she's the one who's leaving this week.
  • When he talked to Will, he told him that he would be "most likely overlooked" when it came to nominations next week.
  • James told him he had only been after him because he (Will) had said he wanted to go home. He (James) decided that if Will went, Mike Boogie and Danielle would be his new alliance.
  • Will told James that if he makes it through next week, then he's planning to be in it until the end.
  • Now a bunch of the HG are creating a Big Brother movie script to go with their Big Brother soap opera.
  • Ohhh! Big Brother gave them... CHECKERS! Hold onto your wigs and keys, kids. This is big-time excitement!
  • James fussed about the food. He said he doesn't eat red meat or pork and BB hasn't replenished the supply quickly enough. He also fussed about the nominations.

Remember, tonight at 8 PM ET/PT in most viewing areas, it'll be the POV show plus the wake-up calls. It should be another good one!

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Update - Up All Night Into Tuesday 8/01

<--- Kaysar, Diane and Erika goof on the cameramen behind the walls.

I know there's a time difference between here and there, but these houseguests are still up. And, not only that, they don't show any signs of turning in for the most part. Now, Will and Boogie (not on any of the feeds) tend to go to bed at a halfway decent hour, usually by 2 AM their time. George conks out the earliest and sleeps a full night. Meanwhile, this crowd (including James, Marcellas) stays up most of the night and doesn't plot or scheme well all day long.

Janelle is up in the HOH all by herself. The last time they showed her on the feeds was about 15 minutes ago. She was brushing her teeth and getting ready for bed.

Marcellas wore his Afro and claimed he was tired of being evil.

Most of the scheming has just been a repeat of previous scheming. James is still working on keeping Diane, but her future in the house is doubtful. At this time, it looks like more folks are willing to keep Erika.

Will said the Diary Room gets sensitive when they complain about things. Well, that would be a given. They want to show an entertaining show. Fussing and moaning about how the show itself is going isn't a good thing. Fussing and moaning about other houseguests is cool, but the show? They should realize that.

Kaysar told Janelle he was going to "hang out with James to make sure he's okay." And, so he did. James has actually been a bit subdued for James the last few hours. That's a good thing. I realize he's playing for a large amount of money, but he's taking things all too seriously. I think Will has a better approach - he's just as determined to have fun playing the game as he is about winning. Earlier in the late night, James was ranting about CT. Maybe he just wore himself out on the subject...Who's the daddy? for a few hours, at least.

<--- The big news is Danielle is mysteriously pregnant. Who's the father? YIPES!

Kaysar laughed so hard at her that tears were flowing.

Y'see, Danielle has a plan. Be everyone's confidant, make folks smile. They may just confide and smile you into a half million dollars in September.


As I post this, they're finally heading to bed. Good.

Update 7 AM ET - Now Howie, Janelle and Marcellas are STILL up talking in HOH. Nothing strategy, but... go to bed, Houseguests! Sheesh!

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Into the Evening Mon. 7/31


All right, let's do a little recap first... Mike used his POV to save himself. Janelle put Diane on the block in his place. Marcellas and James have each had their own brand of hissy fits about the nomination choice. Kaysar seems to have returned to the game after going mentally adrift. Will is smiling. Diane is fussing and Erika ain't no happy camper herself. George is eating his slop and Howie is... um... being Howie.

So, here's the latest from that Big Brother House of PuppetMasters and Those Who String Along:
  • Marcellas and Janelle made up because, after all, "it is what it is." [Editor's note: Of course that won't stop him from talking about her to others!]
  • Marcellas had his first over an hour long Diary Room session today for the season. He was ALWAYS in there in his season.
  • Howie told Janelle he's okay with her decision -- Diane would have floated to the end of the season.
  • Danielle and Marcellas don't think S6 is holding the same popularity with viewers that they did last season. [Editor's note: But, but... we have WILL in the house!]
  • Marcellas told Diane he pushed Janelle to not nominate her all the way up to the ceremony. She sniffled and said it was a personal vendetta.
  • Erika seems pretty confident that she'll stay instead of Diane. She told Danielle that if she gets HOH, she'll put up Howie and Janelle. Marcellas told them that taking out Howie would weaken Janelle. [Editor's note: Huh? Other than moral support, I don't see that.] He fears Janelle will be in the house with all men and take it all.
  • Now Marcellas is ranting about Janelle again as if the idea of her being with other men set him off. Odd, odd man, Marcellas is.
  • Marcellas wants to put up S6 members if he gets HOH. [Editor's note: Want to bet not his beloved Janelle and... what about his intention to off ChillTown? Did I say he's odd? Why, yes I did.]
  • Then he went on to tell Erika and Danielle that Janelle will be his first target. [Editor's note: @@ Drama Queen.]
  • As those on food restrictions can have condiments, Will whipped up some salsa soup. "Big Brother, may I please not die?" [Editor's note: I know many readers are cheering on S6, but my own entertainment money is on Will. He may not win, but I get a kick out of watching him.]
  • BB voice quote: "Will, please treat your microphone with respect."
  • The HG talked about cannibalizing each other and who'd be the tastiest. Janelle was the hit with the guys, but Howie has more meat on his bones for survival. Too fatty, though. [Editor's note: Big Brother meets the Donner Party. All due to BB Slop!]
  • Will (remember he's on Slop) quote: "If Big Brother gives us a pet this week, I will eat the pet's food. Then I will eat the pet. This is not a good week for a pet."
  • Will asked if the rest of the house could have liquor so he can at least be entertained.
  • James talked to Danielle about trying to flip the votes to favor Danielle. When Marcellas joined them, he once again complained about Janelle's decision.
  • James, Danielle and Marcellas all commiserated about Janelle selling out to ChillTown.
  • James told Marcellas that Mike Boogie was saying he plans on putting Janelle and him (Marc.) up on the block if he wins HOH.
  • Marcellas told Danielle and James that he has their backs. [Editor's note: You've been HAD, Marcellas. Do not mess with snakes, you can't make the grade.]
  • Marcellas told James that he (James) is at the bottom of the B6 totem pole, the least important to the others.
  • Danielle spoke to Mike Boogie about switching the vote and keeping Diane. He told her he was keeping his word to Janelle.
  • Danielle asked Diane if anyone made any promises to her. Diane told her that Howie had said she was safe, but it wasn't an actual deal. He just said not to worry about it.

So, that's where we are. Several are in the yard playing pool. Janelle had spent most of the time in the HOH after the ceremony, but is with the others now. She does seem very upset about putting Diane up on the block. But I think she's more upset because so many are mad at her. But, hey... they had three chances to get rid of Will or Mike before this and didn't do it. They cannot blame her when they didn't do it herself.

As for me, I'm glad Will's around for at least another week. He's a hoot.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Mon. 7/31 Daytime


I'm sorry this is being posted a bit late today. Vacation week is over and I'm back to my work around work schedule -- there should be an early morning entry, one after the dinner hour and one late night. That's East Coast timing and some days there will be more than the three entries. But, I'll still get y'all caught up with the happenings, yessirreebob!

So, today was a hoppin' and happenin' kinda day in that Big Brother House of Will Janey Ever Make A Decision On Her Own. Here's the skinny:
  • It was after 10:00 AM their time when BB woke the houseguests up stating the Veto Ceremony will be held in two hours. [Editor's note: By experience, you KNOW it will be later than that! It always is.]
  • Marcellas told Danielle that he tried to convince Janelle not to put up Diane, but she didn't seem to listen. Danielle didn't seem too happy. Aww.
  • Kaysar told Janelle to stop playing dumb (didn't Will insist she wasn't dumb, too?) and stop telling Marcellas everything as he's telling everyone in the house. [Editor's note: Okay, Kaysar has redeemed himself with me for the day.]
  • Marcellas had still been pushing her for either Will on the block or, if she's scared to nominated Will... make it George. [Editor's note: GEORGE? Nonono! Diane! Make it Diane! That's my choice!]
  • Kaysar asked Janelle exactly what was going on with her and Marcellas. He sees Marcellas as the "loose lips sink ships" alliance hanger-on. She told him she loved Marcellas; he told her he'd be targeting Marcellas within two weeks. [Editor's note: Yikes. Kaysar grew his spine back overnight.]
  • Kaysar told her she needs to choose either Will or Diane, but George shouldn't be in the picture on a strategical level.
  • Then Marcellas continued to work on Janelle to get her to put George or Will on the block. [Editor's note: @@ This eyeroll's for you, Marcellas! You get HOH, nominate who you want. Sheesh!]
  • Diane told Mike Boogie that if she goes up against Erika, she wants to stay.
  • Marcellas reported to Diane that Janelle wasn't going to put Will on the block.
  • Marcellas and Danielle think James is the smartest of the S6 Players, but he'll be the first of them to go. [Editor's note: He'll go because he's playing every alliance in the house. He did that last year, too. He's a snake, but he's not a sneaky-enough snake to remain undetected.]
  • The feeds were blocked for a while and, when they came back, Diane was smoking a cigarette. A dead give-away. Yup, on the block!
  • Now that she's on the block, she says she doesn't want to stay because of all of the BS. [Editor's note: Changed her tune pretty quickly, eh?]
  • James, Boss Of All that he is, ranted to Kaysar that they've now turned every alliance in the house against them. Kaysar replied, "Marcellas will be gone next. I just need to win HOH." [Editor's note: Heehee! I love it! James almost has smoke coming out of his ears he's so mad.]
  • James trashtalked (and pottymouthed!) Janelle to Kaysar. On and on. And on.
  • Then James ranted about Chicken George making noise mixing his BB Slop. [Editor's note: @@ James is acting like a two-year old whose Mommy refused to let him have a cookie. Will he throw himself on the floor and pound it with his fists next?]
  • Danielle told Will that, out of the two, Erika would be the stronger ally for them (CT). Will asked if that meant they should vote out Diane. She said someone had to talk to Kaysar. Danielle also told Will that James plans to backdoor Janelle if he gets HOH. [Editor's note: Danielle and Will -- two of the masters of the game, at work on each other.]
  • Mike told Danielle if he won HOH, he'd put up Janelle and Marcellas. [Editor's note: He's said that before, but... deal? Didn't he and Will make a deal? What up wit dat?]
  • They still think an evicted HG will return.
  • Kaysar and James had a heart-to-heart talk.
  • I don't care. James is still a snake in my book. So there.
