Inside The Big Brother Wrap Party: 2006 Edition - 
by B-side
It seems like it's becoming as much of a tradition as the show itself: crashing the Big Brother wrap party. That's exactly what we did last night for the third year in a row, and once again, we managed to make fools of ourselves in our shameless mugging for the camera. Basically, the Big Brother wrap party is the one time of the year when we here at TVgasm will check our dignity at the door and mercilessly throw ourselves at any and all reality stars (except Burton from Survivor, who happened to be lurking around last night). After the break, photos with all the All-Stars plus more...
First things first: let's do a little review of the party. We arrived at around 7:30 PM when it was still fairly empty. The All-Stars had not arrived yet (every year, the cast usually shows up at around 8 PM in a party bus), but that's not to say there weren't noteworthy people in our midst. We spotted Monica from season two (forgot to get a picture) as well as All-Star exes, Justin and Robert from season four (also, forgot to get pics. No big deal though). Suddenly, our first All-Star showed up: Boogie. Yes, the big winner was first to arrive, and when he walked into the place, he received maybe two or three claps. Not even joking. It was sadder than when The Friendship arrived last year. About twenty-five minutes later, he was joined by the rest of his cast, and unsurprisingly, Dr. Will and Janelle spent pretty much the rest of the night with a mob of people constantly surrounding them, wanting to take their pictures (a mob that at times we were happily part of).
The rest of the party was what you'd expect: drunkenness (especially Janelle), dancing (especially Ivette and Dana), and sulking (Jase). It was a fun time, but as opposed to the other two wrap parties we'd been to, the stars seemed slightly more aloof. They were almost too cognizant of their roles as "All-Stars." In previous wrap parties, everything was so new to the cast members; so many of them were more conversational and eager to talk to the fans. This time around, most of the interaction was friendly but not quite engaging. Talk mostly centered around phrases like "Sure, let's take a picture!" and "Thanks!"
But anyway, let's check out the photos!
J-Unit got the scoop of the night with Boogie's parents: Bonnie and Mr. Bonnie. I hear this was their first time meeting a black man.
Awesome.
J-Unit and Madeyoulaugh pose with Meaghan: the first person to ever recognize us from the blog. "Are you J-Unit?" remains our favorite moment of the night. (Check out her blog, Sickcandy.com)
Note that Madeyoulaugh is in Janelle's gnome (his mortal enemy).
Seriously, can anyone ever resist the fun that is a cardboard cutout? I THINK NOT!
The seedy underbelly of the cutouts!
Because you can never get enough Chenbot...
I made the mistake of walking up behind Diane's twin sister Lindsay and asking, "Diane, can I get a photo?" Party foul. I then felt bad so I took a picture with both of them. I didn't get much time to talk to Diane, but like two years ago, she was very personable. For the record, Diane says she reads TVgasm; so if you're out there, Diane, um, hi?
All Stars co-mingling on the dance floor! That's the back of Alison's head, btw. And Diane's eye. And I think her sister's hair. Okay, this photo is a mess.
Another photo from the dance floor. I like how the girl in the background is staring at Danielle like "So unfortunate..."
Ah yes. Alison. To her credit, her body was way more impressive than I ever thought it would be. Oh, and that's Rachel from season six -- or as she was more commonly known at the party: "You're, you're... what's your name again? I recognize you!" No joke.
EXCELLENT. Big Brother Slop. The real deal. This calls for an official tasting.
As you can see, there was a whole settup...
Here we go...
And it tasted like oatmeal. It was actually decent -- somewhat sweet. Then again, it was prepared by the caterers, so I imagine it was better than what the house guests could put together.
I decided to sit down and eat my slop in one of the electric chairs. Turns out I stole Kaysar's seat. That's his meal there on my left.
Say what you will about Kaysar, but he does a mean JC Penney pose.
Random Kaysar eating. I don't know why I snapped this photo. I'll chalk it up to the alcohol.
At one point, the All Stars were summoned to the stage. I attempted to get an action shot of the ladies walking, but then this dude had to just saunter into the picture. Jerk.
So... yeah... more cast members.
There's Dr. Will. I took a photo with him, but for some reason, it's not in the camera export. Nevertheless, he was very polite and kind, but just like his family had said, he also seemed somewhat shy and overwhelmed. I told him I hated him and I loved him. And then I pretty much shut up when I realized that's what everyone was saying.
On the stage with the All-Stars! Erika actually took this picture, not us.
I would try to make a caption for this, but someone outside my window has been trying to start their car for five minutes now, and it's getting really distracting. Face it: THE CAR IS DEAD. SHUT UP!
The scene outside my window.
Alison: Mistress of the Skort!
Behold the evil eye of Boogie!
More general cavorting...
Good to see that Will's having a blast.
