'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - A Look At The Live Show - 8/17

Well, well, well... the Chicken Man done did it. Who woulda thunk it?

I'm liking the live shows this season. As George would say, "This is SO cool!" I could do without the always-present recap of the last show. Why do they do this all the time with reality shows? And, why is so much time spent on it? Ah, well... to touch on a few things from the show I liked or didn't...

The campaigning was pretty much as I saw on the feeds. I told you George was getting bombarded from all sides, yet didn't really commit. "I like you" isn't a commitment, even though he voted to keep Erika in the long run.

The prom night vintage clothing was fun. Too bad I'll have nightmares of my own prom now. Eep. Howie's hair, as seen here on this blog first(!) didn't come out too bad and he doesn't look bad with a moustache, either. Erika really needs to gain weight - that dress made her collarbones look like lethal weapons. Janelle and Danielle looked very nice! I thought Will looked a bit goofy, as did George. But George is a bit goofy in his regular clothes, so...!

I liked the Janelle/Danielle moms segment and the comparisons. Danielle's mother looks WAY too young to be her mother! I enjoyed how they both thought the girls were a lot alike in their gameplay. And, now I'm not recalling which Mom said it, but one said they should have teamed up on Day One and they would have ruled the house. Spot on!

Howie said he loves April and even Pepperoni! And, even Julie Chen brought up the Spool of Lies and Mike's running when he saw the "ghost of Alison." Perfect!

I went into the actual rules for the Coup d'Etat here and broke down the HOH comp here. Oh! And I clarified the Prom King OR Queen and what Janelle didn't win because she was the exiting HOH here. When I posted my HOH comp entry I was typing as Julie was talking. Did I have that right with seconds or was in minutes without hot water? Either way, neither wanted to go over it, I say!

To me, other than the news of the double eviction and the fact that George (!) won HOH, the biggest news was Marcellas' last words which sealed his fate with anyone who was thinking of supporting him. Almost as good as Sue's "rats and snakes" speech in the first season of Survivor! He put everyone on a guilt trip - "Scumbags and liars! I played the game honestly! And, if you vote me out, you're just scumbags and backstabbing liars!"

Did that backfire or what? But, that attitude is why I haven't enjoyed watching him this season. So, he's out and he's the first member of the jury. Heck, I remember when he said in the beginning he just wanted to make it to sequester. Well, he got his wish.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Clarifying A Few Things...

A report touching more on tonight's show as well as the live feeds since the show will be posted a bit later tonight.

I notice many people are asking what about the Prom King/Queen. There was only one winner - a King OR a Queen. Janelle won for the Queen.

The way Julie worded it was that the winner would "have a step up in the HOH competition." That leads me to believe that had she been eligible to compete, Janelle would have advanced a step or two in the HOH comp (without having to answer a question). But, since she couldn't compete as the recent HOH, she got a bouquet.

As for POV - In past double eviction weeks they have had them. I would think the POV comp perhaps tomorrow, POV Ceremony on Saturday.

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.
