'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Overnight Into Saturday 8/26

Unlike other recent after-nominations periods, no one really seems to be sulking alone, accusing others of betrayal or having a hissy fit. George says he's been nominated so often that he's used to it and retains his upbeat spirit - "If I go home, I go home. I never thought I'd still be here at this point and I'm thrilled to be here."

Janelle takes things from another point of view. She fully expected Erika to nominate her, but she's determined to work at winning the POV to stay in the house. She's good at comps and she knows it. Hopefully, she's recovered from her bad showing at the last HOH comp!

Here's what happened in the overnight hours leading into Saturday in that Big Brother House of Meat and Liquor:

• One would think these poor houseguests had been on slop for a week, not just the matter of a part of one day (due to the food comp). Will and Danielle made plans for steak and eggs at midnight when the restriction was to be lifted.
• Janelle napped a lot through the late evening hours. She tends to spend all night awake, then naps on and off throughout the day and evening.
• Mike, Danielle and Will all agreed that for the most part, they really liked their fellow houseguests more this season.
• Will told Janelle that he plans to have Mike go to Erika to tell her than Danielle said she wants her (Erika) out next week. He said the worst cast scenario is she (Janelle) takes herself off the block with the veto and he goes up. Either way, they have the votes to save her or him.
• His best case scenario had Danielle going on the block if Janelle won/used the veto and Danielle being voted out. Janelle doubts that Erika would put Danielle on the block.
• BB announced there was food in the storage room and the houseguests discovered beer, wine, halibut, shrimp, chicken wings, steak, sausage and more. They're in gastronomical heaven.
• They made George request a sharp knife as BB usually turns Will down when he asks.
• Will got a bit upset because George overcooked the halibut - "He burns everything and makes it all Cajun style!"
• Woogie cleaned up the kitchen after the feast. Amazing.
• Woogie seriously wants Danielle on the block and out this week. They'd prefer that Janelle win the POV to save herself. But if they win it, they'll save Janelle. [Editor's note: They don't seem to think that getting Erika to put Danielle on the block is almost impossible. As an observer, I don't think she would do it. They're going to have to really work this one.]
• Erika and Mike talked... in bed together (workin' it!). Erika told him that if he's playing her, she will go after him. He told her that Danielle really has to go this week and the best plan to get her out is for Janelle to get the POV and backdoor Danielle. He implied Danielle threw a comp because of her truce with Danielle and that she's the more dangerous player because she plans to remove Erika next week.
• Will is definitely better at shmoozing and brainwashing than Mike is. Really better.
• All of the houseguests are still asleep as I get this posted.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Friday Evening 8/25

Erika's nomination of George and Janelle wasn't an unexpected move at all. She's still going with the thought that George is the pawn and she thinks he's totally safe. As Woogie has convinced her they want Janelle out, why would she think anything else? After all, they're the controlling vote, right? Unbeknownst to her, Woogie is also working with Janelle.

Dang, I wish I had spooky or suspenseful music that could suddenly play at the end of that paragraph! But I don't, so...

Here are Friday evening's happenings in that Big Brother House of Women and the Boys Who Use Them:

• Danielle once again told Erika that George makes her nervous. Is she leaning towards voting him out? Erika told her that Janelle has to go. Danielle then said she was going to vote Janelle out.
• Janelle and Woogie talked. They think Danielle is very dangerous and has to go. They want Janelle to win POV, but also worry that if she did, Will would go on the block. Janelle told Woogie that Danielle said she was going for revenge on Woogie (Chill Town).
• The food comp from today took its toll on the HG - Will has bruises and Erika's arm is sore.
• George has rediscovered the joy that is chocolate.
• They think one of the tarantulas has died and blame the around the clock lights on the cage.
• Janelle said she's happy with the noms, mainly because "they" will be upset when she's still around next week.
• Will told Mike to go shomance Erika some more.
• The HG are pretty excited about their Christmas in August win in the food comp. It's scheduled for Sunday and they all want George to get a Santa suit.
• The trampoline they won in the food comp arrived. Will is in heaven. [Editor's note: Anyone who watched season two knows how he loves his tramp...oline!]
• They jump, they bounce, they breakdance on it, they box with boxing gloves while bouncing. They don't follow the one at a time rule and just go trampoline-crazy!
• George said he only earned $1600 the first season of Big Brother. They clear more than that a week this season. [George made it fairly far in the game, but I can't recall his exit place. Sequester didn't exist back then, so they just went on home.]
• In the comp, the HG were put on slop for the day and go off of it at midnight. George told them to imagine all the days he was on it. (But he has his Slop Free Pass from the comp.)
• Mike and Danielle discussed how hard the game gets as the numbers go down. Danielle told Mike that if she commits to something, she sticks with it.
• Will jumped on the trampoline on and off (and up and down) through the evening.
• Danielle said that if she had just a beer, she'd be happy. [Editor's note: Beer and slop, what a combination!]

They've been playing cards and anticipating food, nothing really earthshattering has been going on. Tomorrow should be POV and it will be interesting if either George or Janelle win it.

Someone asked about the slop in comments - it's basically a sort of bland oatmeal blended with vitamins and minerals. It probably would go better with beer than chocolate, but...!

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

As expected and discussed, Janelle and Chicken George are on the block.

Several folks have been asking how this week's double eviction will work. As it's not something that the houseguests know and discuss, I really don't know anymore than what Julie Chen said. Two are going home Thursday in an action-packed hour.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Digest - Through the Day Friday 8/25

A day without James biting his fingernails and picking at them. A day without James calling Janelle various words for "tramp." A day without James grousing about everything and everything. But, was it a day without tears for Danielle?

Here's what's happened so far today in that Big Brother House of Deceitful Drivel:

• Big Brother had to yell a bit at the HG to get them up and going today. It was almost 11 AM their time by the time Will and Janelle got dragged out of their beds. Well, not literally dragged... figuratively dragged by the BB voice.
• BB even played the wake-up calls by Alison and Janelle's mother.
• The HG were in an indoor lockdown almost immediately as something was being built in the backyard.
• Danielle told the others that the Diary Room told her this would be a "fun" food comp. What? No graves? No Grim Reapers? Sheesh.
• Okay, Wiil and Mike bumblebee have costumes on (flashbacks to John Belushi!), Erika and George are flowers, and Janelle and Danielle are birds. Oh, what fun! The comp had them collecting nectar. All discussed ahead of time trying to get a Slop Free Pass for George if there's one in the comp. They have a chance to go for luxuries, so Will quickly says he'd love a trampoline (like in his season) and would put the house on a day of slop for one. The feeds were blocked for most of the comp, but the HG got Christmas, a Slop Free Pass for George and, but of course, a trampoline for bouncing boy Will.
• They seem to have one day of slop (at least), meat and liquor.
• George almost immediately had a steak and a glass of Diet Coke. He's thrilled!
• Although Woogie previously discussed the need for Janelle to get the POV, Will told Erika that Janelle just can't win it.
• He also told Erika that either he or Mike must win HOH next week and put Danielle and George on the block. [Editor's note: Keep in mind they know nothing about two people going home on the next live show.]
• Will told Erika the final three would be Mike, Will and Erika.
• He told her that he was shocked that Janelle voted for James to go; she certainly didn't talk with them about it! [Editor's note: He's workin', he's lyin']
• They discussed the splitting the money deal which does seem allowed by the contracts this season. $180,000 each. [Editor's note: But what about the split with Janelle? Can I have some, too? I've been stuck in my own house a lot following the feeds! Count me in!]
• Erika thinks Danielle would put up Chicken George if she got HOH. [Editor's note: I know she wants George out, but I think she might want Chill Town out more. I bet she'd put Mike and Will on the block if Janelle was gone. She'd go for all three if she could.]
• Erika told Will that he or Mike would have to go after Danielle, she just can't do it.
• Erika doesn't think she can win against Danielle in the final two.
• Erika is concerned that Danielle never came to her for an alliance (like she did James).
• As I post this, we're in flames with the nominations most likely the cause. As soon as I know who's on the block, I'll post a bulletin.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Overnight Into Friday 8/25

A house without James and a floater in the HOH room. This week, we'll see how loyal Erika is to Danielle as Chill Town puts the pressure on for a Danielle eviction.

Here are the events of the overnight hours in the Big Brother House of Silly Boys, Distrusting Women and a Chicken Man:

• Erika tried begging Big Brother for alcohol. BB won't give them any on Thursday nights as a rule. She offered more sexy hot tub scenes and more. BB held its ground, no alcohol.
• Will tried to get Janelle to play up to Erika and she refused. She "hates being fake." Will told her the name of the game is Big Liar, not Big Brother.
• Mike told George that he had been the one with the "secret power." [Editor's note: As if no one knew, eh?]
• Erika told George that he would be the only one safe to go on the block with Janelle. He told her he understands, he's used to being nominated.
• Will mentioned he's the only one in the house who hasn't won either a HOH or POV. [Editor's note: He never won any in his season, yet won the show.]
• Mike Boogie said that BB assigned people to watch him with the Coup d'Etat because he was giving hints and that he "almost lost the power."
• There will be a food comp today (Friday).
• Mike and Erika smooched in the HOH room. He's working, y'know. She's Yoko, of course.
• A Will quote: "My future depends on Mike's ability to showmance Erika. That's scary because he farts on her on a regular basis."
• Erika told Mike that Danielle would take her to the final two, while Janelle is a danger to her. He kept working the subtle save Janelle angle, to no avail at this time.
• Erika told Mike that if one of her nominees (at this time proposed, not actually nominated) George or Janelle is saved by the POV, Will will go on the block.
• Mike proposed splitting the winnings. Money talks, we'll see how loud.
• Will kept singing to Janelle, so flame/clouds with bad loud theme music kept happening. [Editor's note: Argh! This show is NOT Big Brother The Musical - why do they all keep breaking out into spontaneous singing?]
• George is asleep, all the others are still awake as I post this.

Today should be food comp and the nominations. How quickly and effectively can Mike showmance Erika to keep Janelle safe while putting a target on Danielle? I don't think it's going to happen. We'll see!
