'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Friday Daytime 9/01


It's down to the Final Four. Did you think Erika would be in there?

Here are the happenings from predawn to afternoon Friday in that Bg Brother House of Fools and Fooling:
  • Janelle was up until almost 6 AM their time and, as she headed to bed, Erika got up. She didn't stay up long and all ended up sleeping in once again.
  • Mike Boogie ended up being the first one really up and about at well past 10 AM.
  • Mike got his sweat suit with "Chill Town" in rhinestones that BB promised to retrieve from his home closet as a HOH gift. He's sure he's cool now.
  • Will and Janelle still like each other even though Will had a rant aimed for Erin last night about Janelle.
  • Erika picked up the housework jobs that needed doing. Once she started, it made me recall that she did do a lot of housekeeping in her season. Apparently this year with George, she let him do it. [Editor's note: It's a good thing someone is cleaning!]
  • Woogie went over scenarios with the POV and how they'll react. Will said they have to win POV - neither girl can win it for their plans to succeed.
  • Will continues to plant seeds against Janelle to Erika, just as he has Janelle plant seeds against himself to her. That plan is supposed to make her think they're going to go after each other in the game.
  • Erika thinks Janelle will win the Veto.
  • The plasma screen announced that nominations would be today.
  • As of this time the nominations have not yet been held.

Folks, once again I ask that you please be civil to each other in the comments area. I get an email for each comment and, yes, I do read each one. When faced with having to get a report posted and having to wade through the blog comments trying to remove squabbling and nastiness, it's the reports (and my sleep, dinner, whatever) that suffer. The best way to keep this from happening is to post about the show and the houseguests, not the other commenters (unless, of course, it's something pleasant). We come from all walks of life - some folks post long comments, some just post a few words, some post in caps due to vision woes, some don't spell well... and on and on. We're all human and we're all different. But, one thing which doesn't need to happen is plain old meaness directed at others. So, please... post accordingly. I do care about the comments even though I'm a bit swamped.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Update - Overnight Into Friday 9/01



After such a hectic pace, the Final Four have settled in... a bit.

Here are the overnight events from that Big Brother House of Shomances, Flirtmances and Just Plain Using:
  • Will told Erika it's almost a waste to have nominations at this point, the POV player is the one with the real power.
  • They had wine. Will made a taste test between the two kinds. They have time to waste.
  • Will told Janelle that she should tell Erika she's still after Chill Town and that she'll put Will on the block if she wins POV.
  • Erika told Mike Boogie that she didn't want to be nominated.
  • When Mike got his HOH room, it had the same bedspread as the Jase/Janelle HOH in the first week.
  • They spent time in the hot tub, with Janelle not allowed in Will's "personal bubble" for the sake of Erin. [Editor's note: He said that since childhood, his brother and he have had "personal bubbles" and used to yell to their mother when they were violated.]
  • All kissed, started by Mike/Erika.
  • Will described James as "wormy."
  • Will and Janelle teased/flirted back and forth a lot while Erika seemed to put a lock on Mike.
  • Will and Janelle had a mock fight running from each other, teasing each other.
  • Mike and Erika agree that neither of them could beat Will or Janelle in the end.
  • Will told Mike that he has to handle his showmance and told Janelle he wants her to stay.
  • Right now the nominations are up in the air. Will has said he'd go on the block, but he's said that before. It will most likely be Erika and Janelle, but Will's right... the noms don't matter this week. POV does. The POV winner is the sole vote for the next houseguest to go home.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Thursday Night After The Live Show 8/31


Here are the events since the live show aired from that Big Brother House of Dubious Couples:
  • The remaining four (Erika, Will, Mike and Janelle) first thought someone would return to the house, but then decided the finale may have been moved up.
  • Janelle asked Erika if she was mad at her for nominating her. Erika said no, but then added: "Just how many times have you done this to me?"
  • Will's thumb is really sore. Ouch.
  • Woogie talked - they think that if Erika wins HOH, Will and Janelle will go on the block. Then, if Janelle wins POV, they're out. Janelle cannot play for HOH.
  • They finally got the sushi Will wanted so much.
  • Will said the Diary Room asked him about the fact that he told 4 out of the 5 people in the Sequester House that they were safe. [Editor's note: They all know he lies.]
  • Janelle was upset about the POV, Will told her he honestly tried to win.
  • Janelle told Woogie that they have to win HOH.
  • They decided that the four remaining all deserved to be there and all played the game... no riding on coat-tails or flying under the radar.
  • Will said he was James in the Diary Room, not funny at all. [Editor's note: I believe he meant whining about his thumb. It's all bandaged up.]
  • It dawned on Mike that this upcoming POV holds more power than the HOH and is the sole vote.
  • Then we went into flames for a long, long time as the feeds were blocked for the HOH comp.
  • When the feeds returned, Will and Janelle had on striped referee-style shirts and Will was asking Mike if he could take a bath in the HOH room. Mike is the new HOH. (Sigh.)
  • Will told Janelle he really tried.
  • Mike sat around smiling saying he couldn't [bleeping] believe it.
  • Now they're cleaning out the refrigerator and not a heck of a lot is going on game-wise. They're all pretty happy, Mike more than anyone else.
  • Will told Janelle that she has to win POV to send Erika home.

And there ya go.

Mike Boogie.
Sigh.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - The Live Show 8/31 - Fast Forward


<-- Graphic artist Zoetawny came up with Final Two choices. I personally think it may get down to Will and Mike. And, if it does, Mike won't win.

What a whirlwind night, eh? On the show, Chicken George was added to Janelle and Erika as an honorary member of Chill Town. Then Mike spoiled it all in a Diary Room confessional where he said ALL of the honorary CT members would leave. Ah, but we knew that's the Woogie plan. As an aside, you folks all remember how they got the name Chill Town, right? It's because the bedroom they were in during Season 2 was so cold. It's not because they were cool. Will might be, but Mike only thinks he is.

The show didn't waste much time and Julie got right to business by telling the houseguests they can expect the unexpected. Poor George was dressed as a flower (from the food comp) not knowing that it was going to be a very active night. Bang! It's Big Brother Fast Forward! To the votes - zap, zap, Danielle out by a vote of three to zero.

Danielle took it well and expected it. She told them to play hard and that her vote would go to the best player of the game. She brought her Bible out with her, leaving Janelle void of her reading material. She talked a bit longer with Julie to give the houseguests a few minutes to prepare to jump into HOH comp mode (and for George to deflower). When Julie told her another houseguest would leave tonight, Danielle said if she had her choice, Erika would be the second eviction. for the most part, the goodbye messages were very nice. Erika cried through hers. Danielle didn't buy the tears.

Onto the HOH comp! Zoom! I detailed it a bit more in this entry, but Janelle ended up winning by answering 8 questions out of 8 right. Will was her closest competitor, but fell two right answers short close to the end. Janelle is the new HOH! Throw confetti, but make it fast - nominations live in four minutes! Will took Janelle aside and pushed for Erika/George noms, but Janelle wanted Mike/Erika or not George... or something. She wanted Mike on the block, but Erika the target. But she was scared to nominate Erika. After all, what would she think? Argh, Janelle! Stop it!

Sure enough, she nominated Erika and George. Oh, no! They're told the POV would be next! In a hooked to a rope, undo the knots, get the veto, run back and ding thing - Will and Erika held the lead from just after the start. Will really tried on this one, but Erika was fighting for her life in the house. And, she wins POV.

Wait, let's have a POV Ceremony! Erika took herself off the block. With only Will and Mike to choose from, on the spot Janelle put up Mike.

Can we breathe yet? No! It's onto the live voting! With only Erika and Will voting, the vote is unanimous... George is evicted. He took it great. He never expected to make it to the Final Five and likened himself to a "donkey in the Kentucky Derby." As promised, he got a bucket of fried chicken from the Colonel himself... or a reasonable facsimile thereof. I didn't see the beer, though!

No time for goodbye messages, though George knows that he was well-liked by those remaining in the house. Well, maybe not so much by Mike. No time for us to see James enter sequester. No time to breathe!

The final bit showing the remaining houseguests showed that Will hurt his thumb in the POV comp, where Erika's picture should be on the Memory Wall was a black and white (evicted) Jase picture and... Will caught onto a time frame issue. The houseguests still think the finale is September 19. He thinks someone is returning.

Hopefully, on Sunday's show we'll see James, Danielle and George enter the sequester house. Julie announced that Sunday's show will have the new HOH comp (which is going on as I write this - blocked from the feeds). On Tuesday, there will be a special live eviction show. Then, after that, we only have the Thursday show and the finale on Tuesday, September 12.
