'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Since the Live Show 8/24

<--- Danielle decided to have a glass or two or three of wine tonight for a change.

Yes, I'm being sarcastic.

Before I dive into the house happenings since the eviction, I'll address a few recent comments...

Some folks think that the second evictee may be an America's Choice thing. I don't think so. From the way Julie Chen worded it (an action-packed hour), it sounds like there will either be multiple comps or one really super comp on next week's live show. I don't know how they'll do it and since the houseguests know nothing about what's to come - I won't know anything outside of my own speculation. I do know that Arnold Shapiro, one of the executive producers, is really against the idea of America voting out houseguests.

Others asked if I knew exactly what Janelle asked Mike Boogie prior to the HOH. I couldn't really make it out, but I got the impression she was asking him one of the questions they had been studying for HOH. Mike, Will and Janelle had all been studying together and she had been bouncing off questions and checking answers with Mike about 15 minutes before the show. I think she just asked him about another question which came to mind.

Onto the evening's happenings since the live show in that Big Brother House of a Dead Legion of Doom:
  • Shortly after I posted my last report, but just prior to the live show, James was practically begging Woogie for reassurance. Mike tried to tell him that he was going home, but James kept at him. Will ended up telling him he was safe. We know how that turned out.
  • After the feeds returned following the live show, Will took the blame for the last three evictions. I'm not sure of his strategy with that one - perhaps to get Janelle out of the spotlight, perhaps because it means he's also responsible for three others remaining in the house.
  • Woogie talked about making sure Janelle wins the veto, either on her own or with their help. They seem pretty sure she will be one of Erika's nominees.
  • Erika told Chicken George not to worry because she had his back. Again, I'm not sure of the meaning. He's either not going to be nominated or he's not her target. [Editor's note: Danielle wants him out, though. Did you know she can't figure out his strategy?]
  • Danielle is concerned because she knows Janelle voted to evict James.
  • Danielle laid a guilt trip on Mike and he ended up telling her he trusts her more than he does Will. [Editor's note: If you're going to lie and shmooze, at least do it well. Sheesh. As if she can't see right through that one. As if!]
  • Will, Mike and Janelle once again (earlier tonight, too) said something about competing with George for HOH next week. That's why Will said he was going to throw tonight's. Looking at who's there, it shows they expect/want Danielle out this week.
  • Danielle kept at Mike telling him she wasn't happy and he's a target.
  • Alone, she muttered, "Will's ass is MINE."
  • Erika told Danielle she plans to nominate Janelle and George, with George as the pawn.
  • Will told Danielle that they have the votes to get Janelle out unless she wins POV. [Editor's note: I watched really closely. Yes, his nose grew just a wee bit, but I saw it!]
  • Janelle thinks she's going on the block with Will.
  • Will told Janelle that if he, her and Mike are still around next week, it's to the Final Three for them.
  • Poor Erika. The last time she was HOH, it was a re-do. This time BB gave her the key and she went to the living room and shouted the typical, "Who wants to see my HOH room?" Dead quiet. Everyone was outside. Erika then said, "Well, that was anti-climatic." It cracked me up, maybe you had to be there.
  • Her room is flower-themed.
  • Danielle and Erika can't figure out why Will took the blame for James' leaving. It bothers Danielle. [Editor's note: A lot bothers Danielle.]
  • Will and Mike tried to get a plane to flash its lights by waving pool cues at it. The plane ignored them. Will said it had to be a pilot who was just a company-man.]
  • Will and Mike went over several scenarios trying to figure their best approach to strategy. They want Janelle to stay in the game. Now Erika is Yoko and Janelle is Paul's new ex-Heather. Listening to these two brainstorm ideas makes me thankful they're not ruling the world. I could see a takeover. Every angle, every move... they're planning it.
  • Their food arrived (every live show night, they get food delivered). Will doesn't like it. He complained about pizza and wanted sushi. They got Mexican.
  • George was hoping they'd let him eat, but no go. Will told him that if another slop pass is a prize for anything, he try to win it for him.
  • The HG all think it was very awkward when Julie mentioned Howie's exit and Mike being called a punk by him.
  • Erika thought BB would give her a picture of Jack for her HOH room. Nope, she did a shout-out. "Jack, I miss you!"
  • Janelle told Will that the comp was hard and there's no way she could have won.
  • Will and Janelle said they did a phone call bit for the Diary Room last night, apparently like the Chill Town ones.
  • Will is explaing to Janelle that the game is about deceit and lying, not love and honor.

That's the scoop. The newest BB ad for Sunday's show has a bit of Will's Internet Lovefest so that should be fun to rewatch!

Julie offered George fried chicken and beer to leave. He declined.

"Next Thursday two people will be walking out the door and the houseguests won't know what hit them." - Julie Chen

It's supposed to be an "action-packed" hour.

And, just to note - The Marcellas/Howie encounter in sequester is very worthwhile the watch. Don't miss it!

The game is called But, First..

It's a time sequence contest about events. HG on a three tier stepladder, step up or down for true or false.

All right first round.
George and Janelle eliminated.

Erika is the new HOH.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Thursday 8/24 Daytime


As tonight's the live eviction, let me take a moment to remind folks that I'll be posting updates on the big events as they air here on the East Coast. So, if you're a West Coast show night spoilers lover, this is the place to be! The eviction usually happens a bit after the half hour, HOH at the end of the show. If you're not seeing a new post, it may help to refresh the page or click on the August 2006 archive hyperlink on the right sidebar of the main blog page (not an individual post).

Onto the events of the day in that Big Brother House of Jumpy James and Curious George:
  • Big Brother woke up the houseguests at the crack of about 10:20 AM their time.
  • The HG were in the mood for Big Brother the Musical, so the feeds were blocked on and off for over an hour because of their singing. Grr.
  • James told Danielle that he realized that BB is a game, not a job... and now he's ready to stay, play and win. He also mentioned that he didn't have someone like her on his side last year. [Editor's note: I believe it may be a bit late for this epiphany.]
  • The now sober crew teased Mike about not letting them into the HOH room last night. [Editor's note: I wouldn't have let them in, either!]
  • BB told Mike he had to be out of the HOH room by noon.
  • Woogie talked about their questions asked during Diary Room sessions. Houseguests, do NOT discuss your Diary Room sessions with other houseguests.) Will said he keeps getting asked if people are playing him or he's playing people. Mike keeps getting asked if something is real or fake.
  • Will told Mike that over the past few days he's 100% sure Janelle isn't playing him. [Editor's note: Dr. Gullible, paging Dr. Gullible... that's the way to a Code Blue.]
  • Mike said he's not as sure of Erika.
  • Both want Janelle to win HOH this week. They think they're safe if she does.
  • Will said that he has the potential to win HOH this week. If he does, he'll put up Erika and Danielle telling them the plan is to backdoor Janelle. Then either they or Janelle win POV and won't use it.
  • Woogie talked to Danielle confirming they're evicting James tonight. Danielle told them to do what they want to do, but she's not happy about it.
  • Hmm... the BB voice warned the HG that it's against the rules to discuss their votes with other houseguests. That usually happens during taped votes. Hmmm.
  • Will told Boogie that he now intends on throwing the HOH.
  • Chicken George packed his bags... including a trash bag. He's so not like the others!
  • Erika and Danielle drilled each other on HOH-type questions.
  • Danielle told Erika that she told Marcellas to take the prizes (that Mike Boogie is lying and said he took) in the graveyard comp. [Editor's note: Don't ask my why she's saying that. I don't know. We all know that she didn't want Janelle to win the comp.]
  • Danielle wants Erika to do her dirty work... er, to tell George why she (Danielle) has to vote for James to stay -- that she just can't cast a vote to evict him even though she knows he's going. She wants George to understand it's not a vote against him.
  • Danielle and Erika think that the Coup d'Etat can still be used, or another power. They just referred to it as a "power."
  • Danielle cried some more because she doesn't want James to go.
  • James told her she needs to take out Chill Town, but she feels she needs to be up with one of them in the end -- it would be her only chance to win. He thinks she shoudl get rid of Will first because Janelle will try to protect him.
  • She then muttered that Chill Town would lose three jury votes if they kicked out James.
  • Meanwhile, James told her that he accepts that he isn't in the same league as Chill Town.

And there's where we stand. They're primping and cleaning for tonight's live show and it still looks like a James eviction.

One more note: Folks, please don't call other commenters names or harass me for removing posts in which other commenters were called names. Do I have to send a few to the Diary Room or what? Also, if the posts are getting nasty, trust me... I'll get to them. I thank the folks who are keeping things to show talk, no matter who you're cheering on. The majority of the comments are great and it's the comments that make this blog as much as my own entries. So, be cool, kick your feet up and watch the show! Then come back here to celebrate or to drown your sorrows in the written words.
