'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Wednesday Daytime 8/09

There are a lot of questions about the proposed Coup D'etat (which is a French term meaning to overthrow a leader or government) and the return of ghost houseguests from the past. From what I see, one has nothing to do with the other. The houseguests from the past will play into tomorrow night's live show HOH comp while the Coup D'etat will be introduced, but not necessarily affecting tomorrow night's eviction. While the HG know something is up with past houseguests due to ghostly appearances of Bunky, Jase, Alison and Eric (Cappy, not the Other Eric), they know nothing of the Coup D'etat. They'll presumably find out when we do... tomorrow night. Celebrity Spider has a little press release write-up about things.

Here are the day's events so far in that Big Brother House of Misdirection and Possible Production Posings:

• BB tried to arouse the HG before 9 AM their time. I fainted.
• Will kept talking about his DR sessions, so we kept getting flame/clouds and way too loud show theme music. Okay! Okay! I'm awake! Knock it off! Apparently he was told he won't be asked any more questions on the live show due to his condescending "sweetheart" remark to Julie Chen. Or, he could be lying about it all. I don't know. He's calling her ChenBot, though. He must peek at all the sites!
• Marcellas and Danielle trashtalked Janelle to start their day. How sweet, huh?
• Danielle eavesdropped by the door as Mike and Kaysar discussed "what if" strategical moves and Will's brouhaha over the Diary Room sessions.
• Kaysar told Mike that James can be used by Danielle more than he (Kaysar) can. He also mentioned that James said the next target was Chill Town. Mike seemed very interested, though it could be a ploy.
• Janelle went and told Will (who's sure to tell Mike) that she can't play for Veto next week. [Editor's note: So, now her secret is known by Kaysar, Howie and Will. She may as well tell James and Marcellas next. Or, better yet, ask BB to put it up on their plasma screen.]
• Will told her that everyone already knew she couldn't. [Editor's note: They might have, but I don't recall hearing anyone outside of Janelle actually talking about it. I'm sure folks know now or will soon.]
• Will kept insulting CBS, producers and their minions, and more. We kept getting flames.
• James is the latest to see a face in a mirror - he thinks it was Eric. He thinks it's a real person, not a hologram and not just a face.
• Danielle told Marcellas that Will asked her how to vote and she told him it didn't matter - as long as one of those [bleepers!] leaves.
• Will reported his discussions back to Danielle. All of them. Janelle has no Veto playing for this week, Erika is running around telling people that Danielle wants James to stay. He also told Danielle that James needs to act more nervous. [Editor's note: James' acting sucks. The S6 crowd are onto him and Danielle.]
• Danielle decided that James has to go into high-campaign gear for cover. [Editor's note: @@ - a bit too late!]
• James tried to talk Howie into voting for him... again. Will it work? I doubt it. Howie isn't too bright, but knows he's in better straits with Kaysar than with James.
• Howie SO wants to see a ghost. Poor Big Boy!
• Marcellas said he thinks the ghosts mean nothing. I'm assuming he means as far as a HG returning. Obviously, there's some reason behind them, right? We know, but the HG don't! Nyah, nyah!
• They've been on an outdoor lockdown for hours now. They have the HOH digital camera to play with, but nothing else is really happening. Lockdowns where they're all basically in one place limit strategy talks.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Overnight Hours Into Wednesday 8/09

I have to start off with a small alert -- as I go to post this Blogger has a notice of a planned outage (for maintenance, I presume) at 4 PM PT (7 PM for me). The notice doesn't give any time estimate, but please be aware that you might have some difficulty accessing the blog around that time. Or, perhaps you can access it, but I won't be able to post a new entry. Or... maybe comments won't work! I don't really know, but thought I'd give a heads up for the readers. They usually don't keep it down too long. I'm still very pleased with the Blogger product. There are very few glitches or bugs in the long run, so I can certainly forgive them for a planned maintenance period.

Oh? You want to know more about the Haunting and the events from the wee hours into the dawn in that Big Brother House of Screaming Mimis? Here's the scoop:

• The Haunting started with Erika seeing Alison's image and screaming. Now, keep in mind, she's not feeling too well to begin with due to her Slop Week and not even eating much of that.
• Howie tried to be the Hero Jedi, searching out the demon to protect the Fair Maiden. Or something like that. A few houseguests think she hallucinated it and it didn't happen, until...
• Will said it wouldn't be an isolated incident. If it was BB doing it, they would have more sightings. Sure enough.
• Erika, saying she doesn't even like scary movies, packed up for the night and moved to another room. She refuses to be alone.
• Meanwhile, Chicken George and Kaysar had an extended friendly talk in the backyard, oblivious to any ghosts haunting the BB House. It had started out with Kaysar campaigning, but turned into a chat covering just about anything and everything. Will George vote to keep Kaysar? He didn't commit.
• Then Mike Boogie saw the Ghost of Jase-Face and freaked out even more than Erika - screaming like a small child scared by the Boogeyman. Oh, that's an appropriate expression to a point, isn't it? Mike Boogie, Boogeyman. Um... hmmm, not quite. I'll move along here.
• James tried (again and still) to turn Howie (of all people) against Janelle.
• As this was happening, ghostly faces (images) were popping up here and there throughout the house -- most went unnoticed by the houseguests.
• Howie told Marcellas that in the scary movies, the gay guy always gets killed first.
• So far, only Erika, Mike and Janelle have seen the image(s). The rest are hovering between believing them and thinking they made it all up.
• For a while, no one could find Will. They went looking everywhere and he wasn't in the Diary Room. That mystery is still unsolved.
• Marcellas thinks they've gone bonkers.
• Howie said Jase is after Mike and Alison is after Erika and Janelle. He's just waiting for Diane and Nakomis faces to show up.
• James and Will complained that the Haunting is boring and so set-up by Big Brother. Sheesh, guys...!
• Will again (or still) is upset that the Diary Room "yelled at" him for calling Julie Chen "sweetheart" on the live show.
• Mike went to the HOH to be with Erika, Marcellas and Danielle. He doesn't want his screaming hysterical reaction to the Jase Face shown on television.
• A group gathered in the kitchen to cook slop and food and George spoofed on them. He came running into the room screaming, "You'll never guess who I saw in the mirror!" And, they fell for it, getting all excited until he said, "Chicken George!"
• Janelle told Danielle that she's pregnant. I don't think Danielle believes her, nor do I. I'm not sure of the reasoning behind that strategy at all.
• Danielle, but of course, had to leave the HOH to see what's going on in the kitchen. If she's this into things all the time at home... her poor kids can't get away with anything!
• Erika told Kaysar that Danielle hasn't told her what result she wants this week in the eviction. [Editor's note: She knows darn well that Danielle wants them to vote Kaysar out! However, I personally think that Danielle wouldn't be crushed if it were James... her goal of one S6 out would be achieved either way. I think that James spending points in the POV, especially for the phone call, made her realize that he'll do what he wants to do, not what she wants him to do and that perhaps he feels too secure for his own good.]
• Kaysar told Eirka that he feels bad about what happened to James last year and he's not going to judge him. He also told her that he thinks Danielle wants to keep James, break up S6, then James will float. He thinks James and Danielle are probably working together, but isn't sure.
• Kaysar also thinks that Danielle has little use for him (Kaysar) as she really can't use him... she knows he figures things out for himself.
• Erika again got all emotional about the stress, Alison face, lack of food and so on and so forth. She wants a DOR - Demand of Release - a voluntary exit from the show. She said she must have food.
• Janelle and Kaysar know that Danielle is campaigning to keep James and that James has turned on the S6 Players. Alas, what they don't know is that their alliances with Mike/Will aren't the only alliances with Mike/Will and that no one knows what Mike/Will will really do until it's done.
• Janelle is deliberately trying to get under Danielle's skin and make her angry.
• Kaysar thinks George may be voting for him to stay after their bonding session, but he's totally unaware that George has a deal with Danielle. George didn't commit to Kaysar.
• It's finally dawning on Kaysar and Janelle that they are being used by James, he's been acting since the nominations and is in the thick with Danielle. [Editor's note: DUH, guys! You should have known from the get go not to trust him! A snake never changes its rattles. Or something like that!]

And the saga will continue... once they're up and about for the day.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Bulletin Screen Cap - EEK!

<--- This is the image frightening the houseguests as folks have started posting about in my previous entry. (Check the play-by-play there!)

The brand new show promos talk about ghosts from previous seasons and it's started.

Now the houseguests are sure someone is coming back.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Into The Evening Tuesday 8/08

Well, now that the show aired the POV Comp, it's easy to see how the houseguests weren't sure who won what. In a way, it was rather eerie with the graveyard set-up, but I think it was an excellent competition set to instill distrust and uneasiness over the house. As if they didn't have enough of distrust and uneasiness! And, now you can see why I was confused from what they were saying in the house about who won what.

Here are the events from Tuesday late afternoon and into the evening from that Big Brother House of Loose-Lipped Liars and Ne'er-do-wells:

• Despite the devil duckie gone missing, George's chicken necklace vanished and the tarantula cage open... these houseguests haven't really thought anything except game. [Editor's note: @@ Eyeroll alert! In past seasons, they looked for whatever BB may have done while they were in outdoor lockdown. Now they're just all hung up in their own dreamworld strategies.]
• Danielle told James she didn't intend to backdoor Kaysar.
• Mike Boogie and Janelle talked about Howie not winning comps and Mike asked if it were between them (M & J), should he throw it to her? She told him no - she'd give it to him, but they must go after Danielle.
• George warned Howie to "watch out for the boys." When George asked Howie why Will doesn't get nominated, Howie told him it was because he throws comps and isn't seen as a big threat. [Editor's note: Will won his season and threw every comp. Nuff said.]
• Janelle told Will she would date him. His reply? "I would, too."
• Will told Janelle that he's "honest to a fault in this game." [Editor's note: COUGH.]
• Janelle told Will that Erika was working Boogie every minute. He replied, "He's solid, we're solid." [Editor's note: Does Janelle have a problem with women? Is Marcellas right in that Janelle wants to be the only woman in the house? Hmmm...]
• Howie visited the Jack Shack... again. He is NOT the Master of his Domain.
• James told Danielle that Kaysar indeed fought to save Erika. Danielle had thought that Kaysar lied about that.
• Erika isn't "working" anyone this evening that I can see. She's very lethargic. She's on slop and I don't think she's even eating much of that.
• Janelle and Kaysar had a pillowfight. Now, there's fun. I guess. To me, it's only fun when feather pillows are used and they break open. I think I'm reliving my childhood. Nevermind.
• Janelle is thinking of wearing her black dress for the live show as it will be a very black day.
• James told Mike Boogie in his goodbye speech he plans to tell Kaysar, "I wanted to play as a team, but you [BLEEPED] me, so... goodbye!"

And so it goes on...

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Tuesday 8/05 Daytime

Before I get into the day's events on the live feeds, I'd like to respond to a few things mentioned in comments. So, bear with me, please! First - Sue wondered why, when Danielle was previously one of her favorite houseguests in her season, she seems to have changed (nothing to do with her noms - they were good on a strategical level). Sue wondered if I had similar feelings. Yup. I too like Danielle and think she's one of the best game-players in the house. I think the change this season might be who she's chosen as an ally. We looked at Jason and... who couldn't like him and think it was the perfect cover? Now, James doesn't play smart. He's all over the map with lies and will be more of a liablity to her. I think that may be the difference.

And, I apologize to the state of Ohio for my "forehead the size of..." (in reference to James) comment. Heehee! I didn't mean to malign the state.

Onto the day's events in that Big Brother House of Swelling Egos and a Flatulent Floater:

• This morning Danielle and Mike Boogie talked about Kaysar. She said that he can't be honorable if he lies and that she told him "expect the unexpected" just to throw him off.
• She also told him that she's the "mole" in the floaters and James is her "mole" for S6.
• Danielle also mentioned talking to James about the show pre-show. [Editor's note: But we knew that. James seems to have called many of the HG pre-season. Interesting, eh?]
• She said that Kaysar thinks the vote will be 3-3 and she'll keep him. She told Will/Boogie not to tell their votes to anyone - let it be a secret.
• Danielle, James and Mike Boogie spent a chunk of time trashtalking Janelle. Oh, well... not unexpected.
• Mike continued to lie about his actual winnings from the POV comp. I guess we'll see tonight why they don't seem to know what each other won.
• James said he'd been setting Janelle up for the fall for weeks.
• Danielle and James think the vote will be 5-1 for Kaysar to leave.
• Erika begged Big Brother for food. I mean BEGGED. She's cracking.
• Will wants BB to give them a puppy. Or a dolphin. Um... okay.
• After an outdoor lockdown, BB had been up to stuff. One of the devil duckies is missing off the wall in the bathroom and the camera kept focusing on the spot where it had been.
• Will/Boogie whispered in the storeroom about "we'll just tell her we had to change our vote. James is too big of a threat." [Editor's note: Aha! Aha!]
• Another cam started zooming in on the tarantula cage and a nearby sign said "Do Not Open" and the side door of the cage seems to be open. [Editor's note: Arachnids on the run! They want out of the drama!]
• Janelle told Howie she can't play for Veto next week. Something to do with POV, I assume. It might be something she gave up to win. She asked him not to tell anyone. So... shhh... folks, don't tell anyone!
• So, then she told Kaysar.
• George said his chicken necklace is missing. [Editor's note: Duh, houseguests! You're all so wrapped up in strategies that you're not noticing BB did STUFF! Sheesh!]
• Danielle, Marcellas and Erika studied for the HOH comp (thinking it's due to be questions) much like Howie and Janelle are always studying.
• Janelle swore revenge on Danielle.

And, that's that!
