'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Up All Night Sun-Mon


<--- A bald Chicken George, now looking more than ever the part of a janitor, thinks about 101 Things You Can Do With Slop. He now realizes the move he made to win the Power of Veto isn't going to be easy. Meanwhile, Danielle's been helpful to him by encouraging him to go on. And, then there's Howie... "Oh, Georgie! You can do it, Georgie! You're a Jedi!"

Is Big Brother ever going to make these people sleep at night? This season is the worst yet in regard to the houseguests staying up until dawn! Other years, the producers enforced a lights out time. If they don't do something soon, the HG will all be sleepwalking through the competitions. Last night was a night of meetings and strategies in the Big Brother House of Boisterous Buffoons and Flittering Floaters:

  • Will and Mike had an extended meeting with James and Kaysar in the HOH room (screen cap below). They pushed for Marcellas to be put on the block... like Janelle will let that happen! Will/Mike claims they want to work with S6, not against them. They want the floaters targeted. It seemed like they were talking forever, but not really saying much. They tried prying for information on how cohesive S6 is, but Kaysar and James played the meeting fairly well. Will the push for the Marcellas boot work? Will he be the target and not another member of Chilltown? I guess we'll see.
  • Will/Mike said they would not put up Kaysar or James if they get HOH.
  • Outside of the room later, both groups said they didn't really trust the other group. Good. They shouldn't.
  • Will says he still wants to go home before sequester. If, by chance, it's him and Mike on the block, he will campaign for Mike to stay in the house.
  • Mike Boogie told Kaysar/James that Marcellas was talking about them (S6 males, not Janelle) as a threat.
  • Will said he made a deal with the producers that he'd only be on the show if Mike Boogie was on it. [Editor's note: And I'd like to see him stuck on the show with Mike Boogie gone!]
  • Mike Boogie said that he wants to join forces with the S6 Players if Will goes home this week. [Editor's note: @@ Sure, he does!]
  • When Howie stopped by the room, Will asked him if he was ready to go on the block. Howie faltered for a moment, then smiled.
  • When the meeting ended, James and Kaysar told Janelle that Chilltown wants Marcellas out. No way, she insisted.
  • Now Kaysar is changing his floater tune and saying a Chilltown must go.
  • Marcellas pushed Janelle and James to put Jase on the block, as did Danielle to a lesser extent. Erika and Diane remained true floaters, telling James that they'll abide by his choice (as long as it's not them). Erika admitted to "leaning towards Jase" but that was all she'd say.
  • Kaysar thinks Marcellas is a loose cannon in the game and seems to be not overly thrilled that Janelle is so close to him.
  • James wants to put up Mike Boogie while the floaters and Janelle make the case for Jase. James doesn't seem to be entertaining the notion of Jase going up at all. Not at all. [Editor's note: Can you say pre-show alliance? I thought you could!]
  • Meanwhile, at the pool, Jase is pretty confident thant Mike Boogie will go on the block, not himself. [Editor's note: I think I'm going to call the Jase/James alliance the SS -- Slimy Snakes!]
  • Danielle and Diane seem to be successfully playing both sides. How long before they're called out on it?
  • Marcellas tells all he knows to Danielle. [Editor's note: Once again, I feel I need to mention that Danielle is the one to watch in this game. Yeah, she screwed up the first week, but I think right now she's the smartest player in the game.]
  • Diane fussed that S6 never gets her involved in conversations. [Editor's note: Well, duh! There's a reason, Mrs. Smith!]
  • For a while, James entertained the idea of putting up Erika or Marcellas.
  • No one, not Chilltown or S6, has a grasp on Erika. That's not so good for her because neither group trusts her. They feel she's a wild card.
  • Will keeps singing so BB will yell at him (and block the feeds).
  • James is still on his "the producers rigged this game" kick.
  • At one point when Howie entered the HOH room, he was told they decided to break up the Jedi Alliance and put them both on the block. Once again, it took him a moment to get it and laugh.
  • Mike Boogie tried to sell his Evict Marcellas (or even Jase) Plan to Howie, then ran and reported back to Will.
  • S6 think they have the votes to evict Mike Boogie - their three votes, Erika and Danielle. They won't ask Marcellas because he'd just rant that he wants Jase on the block.
  • S6 keeps going back and forth between Jase and Boogie being put up in George's place. The final decision is Mike. No, wait... Jase. No, Mike. [Editor's note: I personally don't think Jase will go up as I feel there is indeed some sort of pre-show agreement or alliance with James. It's his decision at the end and he'll choose Mike Boogie, I say. If it wouldn't alienate Janelle, I think he'd put up Marcellas. But it's too early in the game to blow his cover with S6.]

All are now sleeping. The POV Meeting should be later today and the suspense will be over.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - Sunday 7/23


We needed this, we really did. The show was lacking something, but I couldn't put my finger on it.

And, there it was. George as the POV winner to take himself off the block and force James into nominating a non-safe choice. Now, that's finger-lickin' good chicken!

George hasn't committed to removing himself from the block on an official basis, mind you. The Power of Veto Ceremony hasn't been held yet. But, trust me, George may be a clown, but he's no fool. He won't pull a Marcellas.

The POV shake-up has rattled the house. I mean, George? Win something? Who woulda thunk it, eh? Here are today's bits and pieces of the live feeds events in the House of Wannabe Chicken Pluckers:


  • Danielle started to say something about James calling her pre-season and we got flame/clouds (with bad music). I think they've got something going on betwixt 'em.
  • Mike Boogie also talked to James pre-season. Both said he called them. The plot thickens.
  • George is worried that his hair won't grow back in and he'll be really bald. He asked about the hair regrowth products. [Editor's note: This is someone who's practically killed his hair with dye over the last several years -- yellow, green.]
  • George looks so much older this season than he does in my memories of Season 1. Kind of sad. Oh, no! I probably look older,too! EEK.
  • Danielle, Howie and even Mike Boogie tried to peptalk George.
  • Mike Boogie and Will are very worried that Mike will be put on the block in George's place.
  • Will messed around hanging off the spiral staircase until the Voice of BB spoke: "Will, no climbing!" A few minutes later, BB: "Hey! I said to knock that off, Will!" [Editor's note: I love it when the BB voice gets away from its regular "put your microphone on" taped announcements.]
  • Marcellas predicted than no one will escape nomination this season.
  • Janelle told Marcellas that Howie slept with Jennifer in sequester last season. "Oh, and don't tell anyone!" [Editor's note: Don't tell anyone except the entire Internet, that is. @@ - deserves the Eye Roll 1st Appearance of this entry.]
  • Will saved a cricket in the swimming pool and was thrilled with his good deed. "I did something NICE! Look! Me! I did something NICE!"
  • James complained that the game is fixed. Again. And still.
  • Marcellas, Jase and Mike Boogie were called to the Diary Room at the same time. Hmmm... rapping. Well, there's a spoiler for you! They will do a Diary Room Rap. @@
  • Will had a long talk with Janelle, working his agenda. He told her how much he misses his patients, his practice, his girlfriend, etc. Oh, he wants to go home! Or... does he? Is it an act?
  • Diane and Howie plan to have a fake marriage, with the vows to be taken tonight.
  • Will reported back to Mike (and Jase) that Janelle's not as dumb as she looks and he got nothing from her. Heh. Score one for the Buxom Blonde!
  • Will wondered if James and Marcellas have a secret alliance. [Editor's note: @@ - oil and water, those two! But... it would be perfect, wouldn't it?]

That's the skinny from today so far!

BB7 - Kaysar Finally Up and Still Bald - Live Feeds Screen Cap


At about 2 PM their time, Kaysar finally got up to eat. One of the girls told him it looked like it was growing in some.

Not too much happening in the house so far today as some slept way past noon.

One cameraman seems to like Mike Boogie and keeps shooting him.

George isn't too happy with his diet of Slop, but he won't give up, nor will he hide in his room... he says.

Howie said that the houseguests in sequester were told about Katrina last season.

Will is worried his girlfriend will leave him.

Chilltown wants a meeting with James.

There are the Quickie Feeds of the moment for you!

Kaysar, Bald and Sleeping Marcellas Screen Cap

Bald and sleeping, it's Kaysar
There he is, folks.

Snicker.

Hey, they're hiding Kaysar, what can I say?

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Digest - Overnight Into Sunday 7/23


Lucky George, he won POV and can keep himself in the game. Poor George, as the rest of the house basically ignores him and he sits off by himself. About the only other houseguest showing him any attention or friendliness is Howie. "Oh, Georgie!" Does George care that the others don't seem to like him at all? On one level, I'm sure he cares. On another level, I think he's thinking of the money at the end of the game. Does he have a shot? Well, it certainly would be an interesting outcome, wouldn't it?

Here are the more important events and/or bits that caught my attention in the feeds from the late night and overnight hours in that Big Brother House of Baldies and a Buxom Blonde oh... and a Blue Boy or Two:
  • Kaysar returned from receiving medical care for his ear. He immediately went to go for a nap.
  • The houseguests received a huge Japanese feast for the evening.
  • James kept on whining that he's been literally wiped out of the show because he can neither compete for HOH not POV next week (due to the events in this week's POV).
  • Mike Boogie and Will talked strategy. Neither plan on putting Kaysar on the block. Will's ready to go home. [Editor's note: Will's been ready to go home since he got there. Me? I'd rather see Boogie leave and Will stay. They want "good TV." That would be more interesting TV for me!]
  • Jase plotted against Janelle with Mike and Will. He wants her gone and they think Marcellas is very loyal to her.
  • Marcellas thinks that the replacement nom will be either Jase or Mike Boogie. [Editor's note: So do I, but we're talking James. He made a deal with Jase and some evidence points to having a pre-show alliance. Will he put up Mike? Possibly.]
  • If James says that the next HOH will be a belly-flop contest geared for George to win one more time, I will reach through my monitor and throttle him. It was HIS choice to keep going in the POV Comp. Will and Mike gave up and quit before the first event (eating bowl of BB Slop). He chose to go on, now he's whining. Marcellas has it right. It wasn't geared TO George. It was for whoever wanted it the most. That ended up being George.
  • George spent most of the evening sitting by himself. :-(
  • Mike Boogie claimed he spoke about the veto comp in a monotone in his DR session so they wouldn't air it. BB: "Houseguests, do NOT discuss your Diary Room sessions with other houseguests."
  • Erika worked hard to get Jase's hair to something other than a blue-green color. Kaysar told him the blue hair really brings out the blue in his eyes. Someone referred to him as Jakomis due to the hair colors.
  • James is mad at Marcellas because he was going around telling people he had a deal with Jase. [Editor's note: Will we see Marcellas go up on the block in place of George?]
  • Diane wants Marcellas on the block. She thinks he's very annoying. [Editor's note: And he's not a showmance possibility?]
  • More on the veto comp -- they were asked to write how long they could go eating BB Slop. Kaysar wrote 15 days thinking George would say two weeks while George actually wrote 60 days. Thus, George won.
  • Kaysar and Danielle vented to each other about Marcellas. Mr. Drama Queen better tone it down. Right now, it's only Janelle in his corner. Danielle, in her typical Danielle-Sneaky-Stealth kind of way, really put a bug in Kaysar's ear about Marcellas. And, I'm not talking an ear infection. I still think she's one of the main ones to watch this season.
  • Janelle, Howie and Kaysar worked on James to get him to put Jase up in George's place.
  • Kaysar said that putting out Mike Boogie would be acceptable for their needs.
  • Janelle is convinced one player (at least) will return.
  • Janelle also asked the others to be nice if April somehow turns up as a guest sometime this season. [Editor's note: I doubt we'll see that happen. Janelle has been smoking Kaysar's hookah too much!]
  • After the others went to bed, Kaysar remained awake for some time (probably due to napping before and he's a night-owl). He apparently had something down in his ear, perhaps BB Slop or blueberries from the dye. Now that he's bald, he'll have to come up with a new nervous habit. He can't twirl his hair anymore!

More once they're up and actually doing something...
