Well, well, well... has the Coup d'Etat been won? If so, will its power be used for Good or Evil? After all, that's the theme this season -- Good vs. Evil. But, as the days go on, it's getting a bit harder to tell who's on what side.
But, that's Big Brother for you. If it were predictable, we wouldn't get so addicted. The shake-ups this season keep us hooked no matter for whom we cheer.
Here are the late afternoon and evening happenings from that Big Brother House of Wisftful Whiners and a Devil Doc:
- James told Danielle he'd "bury the %#&$ and dance on her grave" - about Janelle. Then he added, "Except she'd have to be recycled because everything's so fake."
- Erika told Danielle that if the Coup d'Etat phrase is "you reap what you sow" she'll argue it because she never heard it. [Editor's note: Remember, that wasn't the guess she made in the Diary Room on the show and they only get one shot at it. Although several discussed that saying when seeing the needle and thread (huge as they were), the guesses we saw on TV were made before the spool clue.]
- Howie wanted Danielle to tell him what L.O.D. (Legion of Doom) means. She told him Love One Day as in Love One Day at a Time. [Editor's note: Well, she was put on the spot! I'm sure she would have been more creative had she received some warning he was going to push for the meaning!]
- James and Mike Boogie once again talked about dumping Janelle the first chance they can get.
- Howie got in his taunting mode, but not to the full hurricane. He told Erika, Chicken George, Danielle and Marcellas that they were the "True Four" in an alliance. Marcellas got very irked with him. Erika and Danielle were obviously a bit ticked. George just started singing "We All Live In The Big Brother House" to the tune of "Yellow Submarine" and then said "and one gets thrown out each week."
- From a discussion Mike Boogie and Janelle had, it seems that BB has clarified the rules of the Coup d'Etat for the house and emphasized it's a common saying that could be applied to Big Brother. That was part of the instructions all along, but the houseguests (like us) were a bit confused.
- Janelle told Will that Marcellas tried to make a deal with her to put up George or Mike this week and make a truce with Danielle and Erika. She says she didn't buy it.
- Marcellas thinks that the only ones in the game who are clean are Danielle, Erika and himself. [Editor's note: @@ Gotta roll the eyes. Gotta.]
- Erika and Janelle talked about how innocent the shower escapade from last night was. [Editor's note: @@!]
- Will did a shout out to a friend asking him to call Erin (his girlfriend) to tell her nothing happened in the shower. Mike told him that he didn't know if they controlled it anymore. [Editor's note: The show? The game? Themselves?]
- Howie and James started in once again on Janelle to put Marcellas on the block.
- The third clue apparently showed up at the house - the Grim Reaper (who must've pointed at Danielle because she freaked out about it). Mike Boogie rang the bell for the Coup D'Etat and reported back all excited, sure he's won. [Editor's note: Keep in mind that BB said they won't tell the winner that he/she won until Thursday, so he's going on gut feeling. Although, the Grim Reaper did cinch the Ewe Reap What You Sew, to spell it according to the clues. He's probably right if he's the first one in with that.]
- Erika and Danielle are really angry with themselves for guessing after the first clue.
- Janelle told Marcellas that "the others" want him put up as a pawn. He's upset. He says that if he's put up, he'll be voted out. [Editor's note: And, he's probably very right.]
- Danielle and Marcellas think that Janelle told Marcellas her strategy for extra votes on the jury. [Editor's note: Hmmm... that starts after the 5th week, right?]
- Marcellas thinks that Woogie getting the Coup d'Etat is the worst imaginable scenario.
- Will buttered up Janelle a bit more with his Will-ful Ways... trying to talk her into putting Marcellas on the block. [Editor's note: He always has a motive, but he sweet-talks his way to his point, all around it and back to the point again.]
- Mike Boogie worked the Put Marcellas Up bit with Janelle, too. He isn't as good at shmoozing as Will is, though.
- Mike Boogie offered James a job at one of his restaurants.
That's where we stand as I get this posted. It looks like Mike Boogie most likely won the Coup d'Etat; Janelle hasn't made a decision regarding who to put on the block when Danielle (most likely) saves herself tomorrow with the POV and Will is still working his wonders telling everyone what they want to hear. Amazing.
