'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Coup d'Etat East Coast Update 8/17

Mike did indeed win the Coup d'Etat.

With it, PRIOR to the votes cast, the holder (anonymous until used) will choose to overthrow the nominations and replace them on the spot, then the votes take place immediately. The POV and HOH cannot be nominated. The Coup d'Etat holder and HOH cannot vote. If there is a tie, the Coup d'Etat holder casts the tiebreaker. The winner has to use the power within the next three evictions, starting with tonight's show.

Nominations have not been made yet.

The show is about to start...

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Thursday Daytime 8/17

Oh, it's gonna be a really big shoe... er, show. Well, maybe a shoe to boot out either Marcellas or Erika? Or... what about the Coup d'Etat? Will it be used? Does Mike really have it? Several folks have asked what the other guesses were, but we don't actually see them on the feeds because they're Diary Room sessions. I really don't know for sure any of the ones except the ones we saw on the show and Mike Boogie's because he bragged about it. I don't know what Marcellas guessed, nor Will. And, it's very iffy exactly what Janelle said and when she said it. I suppose we'll just wait and see!

A few comments on comments --
Penny - You'll tire of the trivia. The first time we saw it, we all said COOL! But Big Brother uses it and the same loop of the same questions when the feeds are blocked. We thought it was for a comp when it appeared some weeks back, but it seem it's for our amusement. @@

Lisa - The first season they didn't have clocks. George made a potato clock for the house which was rather neat. But they've had clocks for every other season, if memory serves. These folks have clocks. They just stay up all night anyway.

Kelly - Alas, I don't watch Project Runway. I tried once as so many of my friends enjoy it and I just couldn't get into it.

Anon. @ 6:21 - What life? I'll sleep come mid-September!

Onto the events of the day in that Big Brother House of Worried Wombats... er, Hamsters:

• Marcellas is stressed. He barely slept all night, just kept tossing and turning.
• Janelle told Howie to still vote out Erika. If she (Erika) stays, she might not figure out who voted for her and throw the HOH (as promised to stay) comp anyway.
• Marcellas told Danielle he still wanted to stay, but he would understand if she voted for Erika to stay and wouldn't hold it against her. He said she had to do what's best for herself in the game.
• Erika told Danielle that Janelle made a deal with her, then flipped it back again. [Editor's note: Which leak told her? Mike? James?] Danielle told her it's switched back and forth several times. It may still be for her to stay. Erika said that if she stays, she will target Janelle.
• Everyone talked about Howie's hair (see previous entry). Will said it looked like he went to a stud lottery and drew all the right numbers. Some laughed at it.
• Argh, I hate the exercise machines! You can barely hear conversations!
• With the above in mind, Woogie were talking and it sounds like they don't know who has the Coup d'Etat. Mike said something about a breach of contract and there was some mention of "what if Marcellas has it." Hmmm... very unclear!
• Staff competition stand-ins were shown testing the equipment for tonight's comp - hopefully it will work better than last week's! It looks like a question/answer, step forward, maybe blindfolded event.
• Mike told Will that if Danielle wins HOH, she should put up Janelle and him (Will). If Will or Mike won POV, don't use it and vote out Janelle anyway.
• Hmmm... then... Will and Mike said something about they have to continue to act like the power doesn't exist. [Editor's note: Do they have it or not? Grr!]
• Will thinks Janelle's playing him as much as he's playing her.
• Mike told Will that Erika's mother told him not to vote her out. Hmmm...

I'm hmmm-ing a lot, I know. But this is very confusing. We've had periods of flame/clouds/trivia with loud bad music on and off, and now on most likely through the live show.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Overnight Into Thursday 8/17

Chicken George and Will were the arteests putting in dye stripes in Howie's hair, as well as a moustache. Mike Boogie was the technician with the blow dryer. Supposedly this look will be on tonight's live show although Howie isn't too thrilled with the 'stache.

Here are the overnight events from that Big Brother House of Hen-headed Hamsters:

• After burning the jengha game, Will wanted to burn the Jack Shack.
• James and Danielle talked. They think Woogie is running too many scams. Danielle told James he should tell them his plans. They also arranged a signal to give each other during the live vote. Danielle said she had to talk to them and if she votes out Marcellas, everyone has to vote him out.
• Since they'll vote as a group, James' vote will be very evident if he votes with Howie (to keep Marcellas).
• Danielle then said if a vote is off, they can blame Chicken George because he promised both his vote. [Editor's note: I don't think he promised Marcellas anything and he only seemed to say "okay" to Erika without really saying he'd give her the vote for sure.]
• Then they all decided Danielle will vote out Erika to keep her word while George, Will, Mike and James will vote out Marcellas.
• James wants Danielle to throw the HOH comp to him.
• Several mentioned Mike Boogie's "special power" but none know exactly what it is - it seems to be a given amongst the house that he won it (the Coup d'Etat). [Editor's note: I really don't think the order of the clues makes a difference, I really don't.]
• James told Howie that he looks like a gay 1970s hedgehog with his new hairdo.
• Janelle is still pushing for the vote out to be Erika while Woogie wants Marcellas out.
• James suggested a fake fight between Janelle and Woogie. Then, when Marcellas is voted out, she can act all betrayed.
• Will, Janelle and Howie studied for the HOH comp. [Editor's note: Janelle won't be allowed to compete as she's HOH now, but she always studies anyway.]
• Janelle told Howie he looks horrible.
• Marcellas fussed that he hates being in the house, but he was supposed to win. [Editor's note: According to who?]
• Howie said that he and James are voting Erika out.

At this time, the vote looks like it should be 4-2 for Marcellas to be evicted. Howie may or may not have a moustache and may or may not try to change his hair to look human once again.
