'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Bulletin - Nominations 8/04

Danielle nominated James and Janelle, her original choices shortly after winning HOH. Kaysar was right - she had already decided.

I'll be posting a late night report after they do report-worthy stuff!

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Digest - Friday Daytime 8/04

Before I really get started, I wanted to address a few issues brought up in comments and email. A few folks asked about the expected coup d'etat - a twist which would enable one houseguest to overthrow the Head of House. Julie Chen mentioned it at the very end of the live show on Thursday night. I don't really know how it will work and I believe the houseguests are unaware it's coming. It was a teaser for us. For the person who asked about George being on BB Slop for sixty days, it was the price he paid for winning the POV which saved his butt in the house.

Another issue which was brought up is that this blog isn't exactly straight reporting or that I have a bias. No, it isn't and yes, I do. I do tell the events of the house and I often insert my own personal feelings in editor's comments. I'm not someone just going by rote here. I have my favorites and houseguests I'd like to see gone. While I do have a bias with the houseguests themselves, I welcome fans or dislikers (haters is such a strong term) of all houseguests. I won't/don't put others down for not thinking along the same lines as me. It wouldn't be as much fun if we all had the same favorites, I don't think. So, don't expect me not to be snarky about houseguests at times. But you can expect me to respect your opinion.

/soapbox and onto what's been happening today in that Big Brother House of Spiders And The Flies Who Get Caught In The Web:

• Marcellas told Danielle she should put up Janelle and Kaysar instead of Janelle and James, then put in Howie if the Veto is used. He said that he can't condone Janelle's behavior in the house.
• Will told Janelle that someone from S6 has to go this week. He said he's working on it being James to go. [Editor's note: Except when he's with James telling him Janelle should go.]
• Danielle asked Kaysar who she thinks she should nominated. He told her that he thinks she's already made up her mind.
• Danielle then asked him if he or Janelle had a deal with Chill Town. He told her they didn't. Danielle told him the events this past week have her confused and she really doesn't know what to do. [Editor's note: I don't think so! Danielle is one of the most clever and sneaky players in the house. I think she knows exactly what she's doing every time she speaks to anyone in there.]
• Chicken George isn't feeling too well today. It may be because of the real food last night after his time on BB Slop.
• Kaysar told Danielle that they didn't put up Chill Town first because there were other targets going around like snakes in the grass. He was "trying to position himself." He assured her that she was never a target of S6.
• Danielle told Kaysar that he's the only one she can trust as he doesn't lie. [Editor's note: I bet she says that to all the houseguests!]
• Janelle told James that Marcellas leaks information. [Editor's note: As if James doesn't...!]
• Janelle thinks she will go no matter who's on the block with her. She told Will he needn't try to push for James to go even though Will told he can't be trusted.
• Danielle told Marcellas she can't nominate Howie because she promised she wouldn't when he was on the web in the HOH Comp.
• Marcellas told Danielle just to let him know who she wants out and he'll vote with her.
• Will insulted Internet BB fans and, more specifically those who own a fat cat. Uh-oh!
• Will told Mike he can go ahead and have a showmance, but don't trust Erika -- she'd throw them both under a bus in a heartbeat. [Editor's note: I think so, too. She's a lot more scheming than given credit for at times. Just thinking of the HOH pass-off to Danielle... it keeps Erika in the shadows and will make Danielle a larger target the next week.]
• Will and Mike met in the toilet stall and maybe are playing the viewers, maybe not - Will said they should flip the vote and then target Danielle next week. I don't know. I'm just reporting that one.
• Danielle, at least now pre-nom, seems pretty set on nominating Janelle and James, with Janelle being the target. The nominations ceremony hasn't been held yet. That could be a red herring or reality. We don't know yet.
• They're in lockdown now. I'll post a quick update if it's the nomination ceremony and the names get mentioned.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Overnight Into Fri. 8/04

Oh, a change in power! Danielle is the new HOH and we'll see how much stock she takes in James. Or how much James has in her now that he holds the power to nullify one eviction vote. Julie Chen told the houseguests on the show that the week ahead was a week of competitions and told viewers that a new twist coming will be the coup d'etat - a twist that could overthrow the HOH.

What happened overnight in that Big Brother House of Under New Management? Here's the more interesting bits:

• James is thrilled. He whispered to Mike that Danielle will "cut Janelle's throat." Not literally, I hope.
• The houseguests chowed down on pizza, even George (thanks to Marcellas giving him that slop pass). [Editor's note: If Marcellas loses in the food comp, we're going to see huge drama when he goes on slop!]
• Like with anything he does, Marcellas made the food pass to George a media event. [Editor's note: @@ - have to roll those eyes! I think he really didn't do it out of the goodness of his heart, more because the backlash from others if he didn't.]
• Now James thinks that there will not be a return of a previous houseguest. [Editor's note: I said I didn't think so. They don't ever listen to me!]
• Janelle and Kaysar feel sick. Both know they're probably targets.
• Danelle is thinking of putting up Janelle with (get this) James to make sure she (Janelle) doesn't win POV. She would need at least five votes because James could nullify one.
• Howie's very sore from the comp. Danielle and Erika did better because they weren't supporting as much body weight.
• Boogie thought James would have worked harder in the HOH Comp.
• Unlike past weeks, most of the houseguests stayed in Danielle's new HOH room for quite a long time - not just a look and go.
• It looks like the Big Bed will be Erika, Boogie, Janelle, and Howie. Interesting bedmates.
• They seem to think there will be no food comp this week.
• Erika thinks Kaysar threw the HOH Comp. She may be right. They kept cutting the feeds and he went down very unexpectedly... immediately the feeds were blocked.
• Erika told Mike that she'll be doing a lot this week to protect Chill Town.
• As James ranted to Danielle about Janelle, she broke the news of her plan to him, telling he's not going to be happy. She explained how he could save himself. If Janelle were to get off the block with the veto, either Kaysar or Howie could go up. [Editor's note: Or... hey, they could backdoor James!]
• James is not happy. Not not not happy.
• Marcellas told James he'd vote to keep him (James) over Janelle. [Editor's note: Amy was right!]
• George is just happy that he thinks Danielle is nice to him.
• When talking to Erika, Danielle was vehement about wanting Janelle evicted.
• When James asked George if he'd have his vote to stay, George told him he'd have to think about it.
• Will decided that he, Janelle, Howie and Kaysar are the Depressed Alliance.
• Mike told Erika he's getting upset with the way Will's playing the game. [Editor's note: Act or not?]
• Marcellas lied to Janelle telling her that he didn't think she was going to target the S6 Players. Perhaps George and Will. [Editor's note: Liar, liar, pants on fire!]
• Danielle said she doesn't want to sleep in the HOH and wants her regular bed. Howie will be the first taker. It sounds like they'll rotate.
• Will told Danielle that Marcellas should go before Howie or Kaysar.
• So many think that they're in Danielle's alliance that it could make you dizzy. [Editor's note: But who will have her loyalty?]
• As I get this posted, Danielle has been reading the Bible... perhaps seeking Divine Intervention? I don't know.
  

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Quickie Report

After initially tucking the Slop Free Week Pass in his drawer and fussing how he hates slop and needs it, Marcellas just gave George the pass. Marcellas had said while tucking said pass in the drawer, "I never promised to give up anything."

George was reluctant to take it and is almost in tears because of the kindness.

I feel a bit better about Marcellas now. And George can eat for the week!

'BB7: All Stars' - Live Feeds HOH Update - New HOH

Danielle faked that she was gone, but laughed and regrouped herself.

It's down to Erika, Howie and Danielle. Everyone's trying to get Howie to drop. Danielle is pleading. Erika is pleading. Howie says he wants HOH really bad. Erika swears Howie is safe. He's grunting.

Howie let go.
Erika yelled, "You've got it, Dan" and let go.
Danielle is the new HOH.

Quick recap to fill in what happened between flames:
The eggs --
Will and Kaysar - rotten
James - Nullify an eviction vote
Mike - $10,000
Marcellas - Slop Free Pass (which everyone said would go to George, but Marcellas hasn't committed that I know about)

Erika promised Howie he'd be safe, then threw the comp to Danielle.
