'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Tuesday Evening 8/29 In The House

<--- Will suited up for the 5 Star Restaurant Dinner Date Night. Even Mike dressed nicely and like a man instead of a boy. George, however wore a blue and white Hawaiian shirt. The women all looked fantastic, as they should for the amount of primping and fussing they did.

Of course, the restaurant ended up being set up in the backyard. Oh, no... they moved the trampoline!

Here are the evening's happenings from that Big Brother House of Dastardly Dating:

• The doldrums seem to have set in as the houseguests sort of wait for Danielle's eviction. Or, perhaps it's just that time in the show. They all slept on and off most of the day.
• Although she might think it's futile, Danielle is still trying to work Will into keeping her in the house by telling tales of Janelle and Erika.
• Will mentioned that one of the producers/voices in the Diary Room (Cory) invented a new term for them - flirtmances. That got us flame/clouds.
• Danielle said her DR session was great - she was asked about shomances, stress and more.
• "Houseguests, it's against the rules to discuss your Diary Room sessions with other houseguests."
• It was the perfect date night for the houseguests, alliances set aside (or tucked in their pockets) for the evening. The girls all primped together and the boys picked their dates up in the HOH room.
• Woogie sang "Once, twice, three times evicted..." as they waited to pick up their dates. [Editor's note: Yeah, I think they were being symbolic.]
• While they probably had an enjoyable breath of relief from the game, the evening was (and is still ongoing) pleasant and non-eventful. Lots of small talk, very little game talk.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Tuesday 8/29 Show

To DD and those out there who may be having cable problems while weathering the storms... I give you the recap!

The show's opening (after their recap, of course) shows that Chicken George is very observant. He's the only one who's really onto Chill Town. He joked with Will and Mike, but made it clear he knows they're playing everyone in the house. Except him, that is. Will and Mike took it well enough, but you can bet they picked up on it and will file it away for future reference.

Will is teaching his own new Jedi Warrior Janelle in the ways of the Dark Side. Her assignment should she choose to accept it? Make nicey-nice with Erika. Tell her it's okay that she put her on the block, but that she's going to go after Chill Town because they really need to go. She assured Erika that CT is her target, and she won't be nominating Erika.

It worked.

Then the now-three members of the Doomed Legion of Doom (Will, Danielle and Mike) discussed scenarios. When Will mentioned possibly saving Janelle and letting George go, Danielle thought he lost his mind. "Janelle is too dangerous!" In a Diary Room segment, it looked like Danielle is starting to see the light. The light of the Dark Side. Could Janelle be working with Chill Town? Wait! Erika never puts them up. Could she be working with Chill Town?

Then it was all fun and games with the arrival of Will's much wanted trampoline. He bounced for joy as others asked how many bones he's broken. George said it was an accident looking for a place to happen. Will just merrily bounced about with childhood revelry.

Danielle gave Erika her "word on her kids" that she would never vote her out. (Why do people do that? It's just so wrong on so many levels.) They'll go together to the Final Two and all will be right in the world! Then Danielle mentioned that Will has to go... and she made the devil-Roddy-sign! Shades of BB3! In the Diary Room segment, Erika said she didn't think she could win against Danielle. Ah, the seed had been planted and she didn't even know it.

Oh, but then it's Christmas in August! Neil Patrick Harris of Doogie Houser and How I Met Your Mother (where he indeed plays a real Will-like role...!) showed up to wake the houseguests up. Fun, fun, joy, presents, frolicking, George got his Santa suit - so cool! Neil did flips on the trampoline, something I haven't seen Will ever do. Huh! Neil said George is a bit... simple. But then he said Janelle was even more beautiful in person and has a radiance about her. Oy.

Will is beside himself with glee. "First I get my trampoline, then my favorite actor Neil Patrick Harris visits. What's next? I'm gonna win the show?" Heck, I can't help but smile at Will's antics.

Will sent Boogie off to his shomance to keep planting the seed. No, not that seed! Sheesh! It's an 8 PM show! The seed that Danielle would win against Erika in the Final Two and, if the POV is used to save anyone, Danielle must go on the block.

The POV comp wasn't quite the morph-o-matic thing I thought from the talk on the live feeds. It was called the 2-Face-A-Tron and facial features of two houseguests would flash on a screen, perhaps the eye of one and then the lips from another. The player had to run to press the right two names on a display, then run back to buzz their answer in to see if it was right. They were all separated and during the comp and performed the comp alone. Janelle took it; she just took it. Her time was 1:00 (minute). Danielle's was 1:23, Erika's was 1:51, Then came the boys. Will actually tried to win, coming in with a dismal 3:19. Mike threw it and stood humming for a while, 7:42. George was totally at a loss... 24.23.

Now, Danielle's really worried. She knows that Janelle will save herself. She runs to Erika. "Are you going to put me up?" "No."

But Chill Town kept working sending Soldier Janelle and Undercover Lover Mike Boogie to Erika. And, but of course, she cracked. I doubt if she really has a mind of her own at times. She could be a programmed android or something. "I will do my Master's bidding."

So, she told Danielle that she was going to put her on the block. Oh, no! Danielle is totally betrayed. A bit later, she actually challenged Erika while she was in the hot tub with George. Poor George... "Maybe you two should talk?" (And leave me out of it! - was probably his next unsaid sentence..) Erika is upset, Danielle is more upset. George just looked like he wanted to run away.

So, there was the drunken mode (although the alcohol factor really wasn't on the show, nor the full rage). Erika ran to Mike Boogie for help, but he wouldn't wake up. Will went to the HOH room with her and they hid there overnight. According to the always-planning Will - "No way was Danielle going to have the last word with her." He played up on the crazy, dangerous, can't win against her in the Final Two more as they hid from Danielle ringing the bell and pounding on the door.

In the POV Ceremony, Danielle wore shades and looks that could kill. Hitwoman Danielle. Janelle saved herself and Erika nominated Danielle in her place. Danielle never said a word, just took the chair and stared through her dark shades.

How it ended? With a phone call in the Diary Room between Will and Boogie?
"Hey Boogie, remember how I got my showmance to evict her best friend Marcellas?" "Yes, how about if I get my showmance to evict her best friend Danielle?"
Bwahahahahahahahaha!

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Tuesday 8/29 Daytime

Today's grey cloudy skies and drizzle here in the Northeast reminded me of Danielle's mood. While she was one of my favorites during her season, I really had hoped for much better strategy this season than she exhibited. I think a part of it was not teaming up with the right person from the start hurt her.

Here are the events of the daytime hours (so far) in that Big Brother House of Bouncing Blondes, Brunettes, and Boys:

• Danielle was the "early riser" of the house today... at around 10 AM their time.
• She wandered a bit, changed the batteries in her microphone, and sneaked smokes behind the couch. [Editor's note: I find it funny that a 30-some year-old woman is so worried about her parents finding out she smokes!]
• Sigh... she started crying again as she reread the letter from home she received when she was the Head of House.
• She still can't believe no one wants to take her to or be with her in the end of the game. [Editor's note: A thought she's expressed a kazillion times between yesterday and today so far.]
• She apologized to James' girlfriend Sarah saying she tried to save him.
• George is taking full advantage of his Slopless Week.
• Danielle noticed that the plasma screen wasn't showing flames, but something else (no announcements).
• Mike Boogie confirmed to Erika that Chicken George was staying in the game Thursday.
• George cleaned the kitchen, then cleaned some more. [Editor's note: He can come to my place!]
• Mike once again proved he isn't the Master of His Domain. This time it was under the covers, but evident. [Editor's note: I think he's going for the in-house record for masturbation.]
• Will talked about East Coast feed watchers and what they could be saying about the houseguests staying up so late. [Editor's note: Vampires, I tell ya... vampires! Pale isn't the new tan. He's a vampire! Actually, Kaysar and Janelle were always the worst for staying up all night there which is a chunk into the day here.]
• Tonight the houseguests get the 5 Star restaurant meal won in the food comp. They've decided they'll all dress up and make it a Big Brother Date Night. Erika and Mike, George and Danielle, and Will and Janelle are the couples.

Just a moment to address a few things in comments and you may return to your regularly scheduled lives -

Anon wanted to know how to cancel the feeds. You have to call to cancel them. If you go to real.com, sign on to your account and then go to their help section, they have phone numbers listed.

Remember, folks... many places offer two weeks of free feeds. There are two weeks left of the show. Coincidence that I mention this? Not!

TDB wondered about my proposed Lost television show blogging. The start date for the series isn't until October. I'll be posting more on that soon. I'll be blogging about the show right here on this blog and I just know I'm going to be dependent on commenters to fill in loose ends, things I might miss, come up with theories and more!

Don't forget to watch tonight's show! I bet it will be bouncy-bouncy with the trampoline! And, sad with Danielle. And happy with George eating! Okay... I'll stop. I could go on, y'know...

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Overnight Hours Into Tuesday 8/29

<--- Will Janelle turn in her POV Queen tiara for a HOH Queen tiara on Thursday? Only time will tell!

Here are the events from the late night and overnight hours into Tuesday from that Big Brother House of Wonky Weasels:

• The Red Room is off limits and has been since at least yesterday. I must have missed the "why" about it all. But, Big Brother yells at them everytime they try to go in there. So, the houseguests are pretty much delegated to the Ant Room and the HOH Room to sleep.
• Janelle complained about sitting next to a fat woman on a plane.
• Danielle told Erika that if the final two are Erika and Will, she (Danielle) will be faced with a difficult choice (and hints she'd vote for Will to win).
• Danielle said she didn't care that she lost to Jason in her season because he was deserving and she was loyal to him.
• Will, Janelle and Mike studied questions for the HOH comp on Thursday. They think it might be based on the questionnaires they filled out for the show. I don't know why they think that, but it is what it is.
• The HG talked about Treasure Hunters - Will thinks the Nerd Team had to be eliminated and they wonder what happened in the end. [Editor's note: Will's "Nerd Team" was the Geniuses, the winners of the show. He only saw the Mt. Rushmore fiasco.]
• The houseguests have decided to have a Date Night and plan to dress up. In the food comp, they won a 5 Star restaurant meal. They will have to suffer a day of slop before getting to the good food, though.
• While they were given some beer and wine for the night, Mike rallied to get them more. [Editor's note: Just what Danielle needs, eh?]
• Danielle mumbled to herself that the Diary Room wasn't calling her in to talk because she's going home.
• They played poker. Yawn.
• Erika headed to be relatively early for the house - about 12:30 AM their time.
• Mike Boogie told Will that Danielle told him that Erika and Janelle have a secret alliance. Uh-oh! [Editor's note: Keep in mind that this is the secret alliance Will encouraged as an act.]
• Will told Mike he wasn't surprised and that Erika was a "blabbermouth." Woogie decided they definitely trust Janelle more than Erika.
• They then decided (once again) that Erika must leave after Danielle is out of the house this week.
• Will told Janelle that if he, Mike and her are in the Final Three, he'll just walk away because he knows she wants to be against Mike in the end for votes. [Editor's note: I'm sure he's lying, aren't you?]
• Will told Janelle that Erika "came onto" Mike a few months before the season. Now he's worried that she may be influencing him.

As I post this, all the houseguests are sleeping, as they should be.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Monday Evening 8/28

<--- When you have the live feeds, you have to deal with cameraman quirks. While Danielle and George were sitting in the kitchen talking, the cameraman (woman?) first shot from the side, then discovered the reflection could be captured in the mirror across the room. So, zoom in, zoom out, fuzzy image, sharpen it up.... argh.

Finally the cam in that mirror took over.

Here are the events from the evening in that Big Brother House of Dismal Danielle:

• Danielle once again asked Will and Mike Boogie if she had their votes. They told her yes. [Editor's note: Yeah, their votes to leave!]
• Will said that James shouldn't have been in All Stars because all he did was bite his fingernails and worry about the pool. [Editor's note: James has the worst nailbiting habit I've ever seen. He was always biting and picking at his nails. I'd be scared to see what they look like close up.]
• Janelle told Will that he was just jealous of S6 Players because they were so popular.
• The houseguests kept mentioning producers of the show by name, so we got flame/clouds with loud bad theme music each time.
• Janelle asked Will what he says in the Diary Room about her. He told her only good things. [Editor's note: @@ <-- deserving of an eyeroll!]
• In case he hadn't heard her tell it a dozen times already, Danielle told Chicken George that Erika didn't want to be in the finals with her because she couldn't beat her.
• Lots of talk about bad oysters, previous seasons, other shows, wrap parties, Miami bars and restaurants... but little strategy talk.
• Erika took a bath in the HOH bathroom. Alone.

No alcohol this evening; no drunken rampages. Although Danielle seems to be holding out some hope that she'll stay, I don't think she trusts Woogie at all, rightfully so. Most of the HG lounged around on the trampoline, including Danielle. Erika kept pretty much to herself.
