'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Report - In The House Wed. 8/02

Oh, something's up. It surely is. It must be! After Diane spilled the beans to Marcellas and live feed watchers that the Diary Room told her they'll be voting live on tomorrow's eviction show, the houseguests are full of speculation. And, so are show fans.

A double eviction? Someone returning? A new twist? Alas, we won't know until the live show! The suspense... the suspense!

Here's the skinny on what's happened today in that Big Brother House of Bare-Chested But Rarely Macho Men and a George (thankfully clothed):

• Janelle and Kaysar not only stayed up all night, but then they exercised after the dawn by running laps back and forth across the lawn and aerobics. They plan to go to bed tonight by 10 (PT) and try to get into a normal sleep pattern. [Editor's note: Okay, the betting window is open. How long do you think they'll maintain a "normal sleep pattern"? I predict two days tops. You?]
• Today's BB House wake-up song was Michael Jackson's "Bad." Is it a clue?
• Will told Diane he's trying to flip the vote. If she hears the phrase "You forgot your flip-flops" - that's the code that the vote has flipped for her instead of Erika. [Editor's note: I don't think I believe him, but then I think of him voting to keep Nakomis just for the heck of it. With Will, you never know and, as they say, it is what it is.]
• Will thinks George is using too much protein powder in his slop shakes. Poor George.
• They got the HOH digital camera and went through the usual hyped photo shoots. Will did his best to avoid having his picture taken. I can identify with him except for the fact he's willing to be on the show.
• James spent much of the day looking sullen. [Editor's note: He's achieved the perfect Sullen Sourpuss.]
• Most feel someone previously voted out will return tomorrow.
• An interesting bit of conversation between Danielle and Erika - Danielle asked Erika how Diane would know that they didn't vote today because nominees don't get asked to vote. Maybe it's all something in Diane's head and the voting did occur? Marcellas had told her not to talk about DR sessions when she (Diane) mentioned it to him. Hmm...
• Danielle admitted to being jealous of Alison for getting on The Amazing Race. She would love to do that show.
• Marcellas and Danielle fussed about S6. I think Danielle mainly listens to others fuss to pick up info, don't you?
• Ah, Howie confirmed no voting was done in the house today. Hmm...!

And that's what it is so far today in the BB House.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Bulletin - Live Voting Tomorrow

I interupt your regularly scheduled blog to report that Diane just said that the Diary Room told her voting will take place live on tomorrow's night show, earlier than in past seasons. The HG had been wondering why the voting hasn't started today and Marcellas hushed her telling her not to discuss DR sessions. He must think he's the Big Brother.

A full report will be posted once these houseguests do enough to make things post-worthy.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Update - Evening/Overnight Into Wed. 8/02

Okay, we're talking past 8 AM ET or 5 AM their time... and a whole group is STILL up once again. Argh. Vampires, I swear they're vampires. Want to know why Will is so pale? It's because he's a vampire! That's it!

Yes, Will is with the Stay Up All Night Sleep All Day Crowd now. It's Danielle, Janelle, Howie, Kaysar, Mike (fell asleep on couch it seems) and Will. No James, but rest assured... I'm sure Danielle will tell him everything said. Not that they've been talking about much of consequence, mind you. It's been basically small talk, friendly, no scheming. Did you realize Will is hungry? Well, he is!

Actually, the evening wasn't a thrill a minute in the house last night, either. Perhaps they're burnt out from all the odd timing of competitions and their "exciting" luxury comp. I don't know. But, here's what's been happening in that Big Brother House of Fickle Fate and a Bitter Boy:

• Janelle confided in Kaysar that she's worried about Danielle and how close Danielle is with James. Kaysar doesn't seem to think it's a big issue or he's playing his own cards close to his chest.
• Both are concerned with James peeling off from S6 so soon.
• Will is still talking about someone coming back into the house with different scenarios about who it could be. [Editor's note: Be aware that the thought of someone returning is because evicted have returned other seasons. The HG have no basis for believing it except for past seasons. They should know to expect the unexpected. If they expect someone to return, it probably won't happen! I have no idea, myself.]
• Will says that if he wins HOH, he'll go to the five who have never been nominated and have the house decide who goes on the block and who would go up if a Veto is used. That way the whole house would turn on each other.
• Diane is still holding onto a dream (of not living in her car). She asked Howie for his vote and, he was nice to her but told her he already promised Erika.
• Howie and Janelle continued studying the house for future comps -- they counted the lamps, ducks, cabinets, furniture and more.
• Mike Boogie and Howie complained that Marcellas is so negative that he brings the whole house down. [Editor's note: They have a point. Marcellas is not a bundle of joy this season.]
• Even though he's on BB Slop, George cooked dinner for everyone who could eat - tacos. [Editor's note: Probably so he could lick his fingers afterwards!]
• Marcellas told James he would save him over any of the four... including Janelle.
• A Will Quote: "If you are watching this on the Internet now, there is something inherently wrong with you." [Editor's note: I never said there wasn't, Will. Nyah!]
• Will and Mike Boogie think the audience likes S6 and doesn't like them. Me? I didn't like Boogie in his season and was happy when he was evicted. I grew addicted to watching Will and cheered him on for the win. My favorite bit was when he tormented Nicole with the race car. This season? Well, I still don't like Mike Boogie, but it's not as bad as in his own season. And, I'm liking Will more and more. It's not that I dislike Janelle, Howie and Kaysar. James? He's bugging me. He can go away. He takes the whole thing too seriously and has way too high opinion of himself and his own gameplaying. Feh.
• James told Danielle that Mike said their alliance (Will, Danielle, Mike and James) is the Fantastic Four. [Editor's note: @@ I think Will and Mike are using James more than they're using Janelle. I have a feeling in the end that they'll be more loyal to Janelle... at least Will will be.]
• Janelle and Howie think Danielle will nominate them if she gets HOH. Howie says he'll hold James responsible if she does.

• Will's hungry. He would pay big money for food - $500 for a cheese pizza.
• Kaysar and Janelle are still talking as I post this. Eep. It's now about 6 AM their time. It's not even really strategy talk, per se.

Screen caps by um... well, me. And them... the houseguests and CBS. I just snag 'em.

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Update - Daytime Tues. 8/01

When I last posted at 7 AM ET, several of the houseguests were still awake. Several remained awake. Several went to bed past 5 AM their time (PT). It reminds me of little kids on a sleep-over spending the night awake. No wonder they sleep most of the day. (And some don't do well in comps.)

Here are the happenings from today in that Big Brother House of "Give Me The Night" --

• Janelle told Howie that she wanted Chicken George gone before sequester. He disagrees. He thinks that George is a "fan" and would be a vote for them, especially because of Howie and James.
• Erika and Danielle got up before 9:30 AM their time even though both were up past 4 AM.
• At around noon (PT), Danielle told James Will wanted to talk to him.
• James told Danielle that Will always seems to be avoiding him. But, since Janelle "sold out their entire alliance" he would be interesting in joining up with them -- they would be the most "evil alliance" ever. He also told her that Diane was told by S6 she'd be safe (and they broke their word, implied). [Editor's note: How quickly the worm turns...!] He also claimed Janelle cheated on the HOH Comp.
• Danielle told James that Diane knows she's the one who's leaving this week.
• When he talked to Will, he told him that he would be "most likely overlooked" when it came to nominations next week.
• James told him he had only been after him because he (Will) had said he wanted to go home. He (James) decided that if Will went, Mike Boogie and Danielle would be his new alliance.
• Will told James that if he makes it through next week, then he's planning to be in it until the end.
• Now a bunch of the HG are creating a Big Brother movie script to go with their Big Brother soap opera.
• Ohhh! Big Brother gave them... CHECKERS! Hold onto your wigs and keys, kids. This is big-time excitement!
• James fussed about the food. He said he doesn't eat red meat or pork and BB hasn't replenished the supply quickly enough. He also fussed about the nominations.

Remember, tonight at 8 PM ET/PT in most viewing areas, it'll be the POV show plus the wake-up calls. It should be another good one!

'Big Brother 7: All Stars' - Live Feeds Update - Up All Night Into Tuesday 8/01

<--- Kaysar, Diane and Erika goof on the cameramen behind the walls.

I know there's a time difference between here and there, but these houseguests are still up. And, not only that, they don't show any signs of turning in for the most part. Now, Will and Boogie (not on any of the feeds) tend to go to bed at a halfway decent hour, usually by 2 AM their time. George conks out the earliest and sleeps a full night. Meanwhile, this crowd (including James, Marcellas) stays up most of the night and doesn't plot or scheme well all day long.

Janelle is up in the HOH all by herself. The last time they showed her on the feeds was about 15 minutes ago. She was brushing her teeth and getting ready for bed.

Marcellas wore his Afro and claimed he was tired of being evil.

Most of the scheming has just been a repeat of previous scheming. James is still working on keeping Diane, but her future in the house is doubtful. At this time, it looks like more folks are willing to keep Erika.

Will said the Diary Room gets sensitive when they complain about things. Well, that would be a given. They want to show an entertaining show. Fussing and moaning about how the show itself is going isn't a good thing. Fussing and moaning about other houseguests is cool, but the show? They should realize that.

Kaysar told Janelle he was going to "hang out with James to make sure he's okay." And, so he did. James has actually been a bit subdued for James the last few hours. That's a good thing. I realize he's playing for a large amount of money, but he's taking things all too seriously. I think Will has a better approach - he's just as determined to have fun playing the game as he is about winning. Earlier in the late night, James was ranting about CT. Maybe he just wore himself out on the subject... for a few hours, at least.

<--- The big news is Danielle is mysteriously pregnant. Who's the father? YIPES!

Kaysar laughed so hard at her that tears were flowing.

Y'see, Danielle has a plan. Be everyone's confidant, make folks smile. They may just confide and smile you into a half million dollars in September.


As I post this, they're finally heading to bed. Good.

Update 7 AM ET - Now Howie, Janelle and Marcellas are STILL up talking in HOH. Nothing strategy, but... go to bed, Houseguests! Sheesh!
