Dan asks Boogie if he already told Frank the house had turned against him, and Boogie admits he did. Dan realizes he made a big mistake in telling Boogie this, which, duh. Meanwhile, Shane’s still complaining that he got totally screwed last week. Well, dude, making out with the new Head of Household is certainly not going to get rid of the massive target on your back. Danielle, for her part, doesn’t like Janelle, which is a random rivalry that came out of nowhere. I guess there aren’t many girls left in the house, so the catty ones have fewer targets to fight with.

Britney asks Frank and Boogie what she’s missed, and Boogie tells her about the get-rid-of-Frank plan. Britney acts totally shocked, and I actually believe her for a second, until she explains in the Diary Room that she’s pissed someone spilled the beans. She grabs Shane and tells him that they need to talk to Danielle and Dan and shore up that alliance, while also managing Frank and Boogie. Uh oh, look at Britney, doing pretty well! She goes back to Frank and Boogie and basically says, “I don’t know what’s going on!” over and over, playing the dumb blonde card.

“I literally don’t even know what this thing in my hand is. A hamburger? I don’t know anything!”

Danielle and Britney corner Dan, and he admits he told Boogie and apologizes. And then it’s time to see the HoH room, always the least exciting part of the Sunday episodes. “I can’t stand this girl,” grumbles Grandpa Boogie as they head up, and then we get several minutes of looking at pictures of Danielle’s family and listening to her mom’s letter. Strangely, we learn that Danielle didn’t tell her parents she was going on Big Brother, which is pretty hilarious. “I’ll just let them think I disappeared for 3 months, they’ll be fine.” Danielle may turn out to be a sociopath. Shane says he’s excited to see Danielle’s family and room, but I mostly just think he loves it when a room is redecorated.

We have the first official meeting of the Dan/Danielle/Britney/Shane alliance up in the Head of Household room, and they all agree that Frank, Boogie, Janelle, and Wil are the top four threats to their alliance. Dan tells us in the Diary Room that he doesn’t want a former coach nominated yet, because he needs them to act as shields for him, so he proposes Wil and Frank as nominations. Later downstairs, however, Wil reminds Danielle that she promised him safety. Danielle tries to figure out what to do, but it looks like her poor little brain can’t handle much more of this.

Danielle: don’t do motions like this. You make it too easy for recappers.

Whimsical tuba music means it’s time for some lighthearted filler! Ian is continuing his pursuit of Ashley outside, which, dude: give it up. She’s not going to sleep with you. This is embarrassing. Things get worse when Shane proceeds to do shirtless workouts not five feet away from them, which is just awkward under any circumstance, but especially because Ashley can’t tear her eyes off of him. “I was lifting the same amount of weight earlier, except I wasn’t struggling,” Ian jokes to a totally unhearing Ashley. Awwww. Poor Ian. I thought your joke was funny! And, if it makes you feel better, Shane’s display is probably more for your benefit, anyway.

    So Boogs was offended that he wasn’t nominated. I kind of see his point. Most people in the house know he is an old arrogant obnonxious blowhard who is about as threatening as a legless spider and will be especially useless once his lapdog Frank is gone. Yeah, you’re right Boogs, I’d be offended that they though I was old, too. Those whippersnappers!

    Great recap! I loved the line about Shane just liking to see a room redecorated. I noticed this last week but all of the coaches were also wearing athletic outfits, save for Boogie because he can’t not look pathetic for one minute. That doesn’t seem suspicious though.

    Pitiful, sad, mopey, pathetic grandpa Boogs is not only mad that he got played but he’s also mad at being put in the game since he didn’t want to work at all this summer. He just came into the game as the world’s most disputed, legend in his own mind, “Best BB player” and thought he was gonna coast his way to winning as a so-called coach. He makes it well known he doesn’t like women at all and doesn’t think any female can beat him at this game. He’s just too ridiculous but at the same time hilarious to watch him say all these things thinking that people believe he’s so good at this game. They are all playing him and it’s hysterical! Love your recaps by the way!

    Hey– just a thought—-Why doesn’t CBS have reality starts cross shows ??? I’d love to see Papa Boogs on Survivor. I am sure he and his extensive basketball jersey avec matching hat collection could really rock that show.

    Thank you for recapping this show Danny— I just can’t watch

    It’s hard to be interested in this show when on Sunday’s you have Mob Wives, Big Ang, Newsroom and True Blood. I guess I’ll get to it when I get to it.

    Thanks for the recap Danny!

    Still pissed Ian jumped off. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR

    Bad marks to Ian for his counting, first he was one in seven then he was one in twelve.
    Janelle won’t win any prizes for powers of description either. Ian, “What was the reset button like?”
    Janelle, “It was a big huge button”.
    I hope Boogie goes soon, he must be running out of hats, so it’s about time. How deluded can anybody be, the self-proclaimed king of the house? On the other hand his riduculous cockiness makes for cringe worthy TV, so better keep him there. He runs/owns a restaurant? I thought he made hats and was doing product placement. I have yet to see him wearing a hat that suited him. You need a forehead for that.
    The shoutiness has spread from Joe to Dan. Maybe Big Brother could remind these 2 that there is actually a microphone in the diary room.

    Kepp up the good work Danny!

    Poor Boogie, he’s a legend in his own mind! He does own restaurants (ketchup that’s closed and Geisha House) and actually had a show on VH1 where they (him and he’s partner) taught celebtards to own a restaurant. Danielle from Jersey, Heidi Montag and I forget the rest. His partner seemed to do most of the talking.

    Ian should have stayed up there to the end! It seemed to be rigged for the smaller people.

    Not on the Dan Bandwagon and respectfully question your claim of Dan being “too good” at manipulating Danielle into putting up his nominees as it is comparable to me manipulating my dog into taking his heartworm meds by wrapping them in chipped ham. Is Dan a mastermind of persuasion or is Danielle completely stupid and spineless – discuss…

    Also thought Dan channeling his inner Vince Lombardi was slightly obnoxious – I get it that he is a coach for a living (after 300 remnders) but you coach at the high-school level in Michigan – check yourself superman.

    HATE endurance challenges as first, they span over 2 episodes second watching players hang off a wall and do bitch and moan diary room confessions about “how bad it hurts” “how cold the water is” etc etc for almost half the fucking show is way more tortorous for the viewers than the houseguests!

    I think Danielle might be on to something with Janelle as Janeel does not seem to like her and would not be surprised if Dani enters into her crosshairs soon.

    Wil mugging for the cameras during his confessional time is either helarious or pathetic – can’t decide???

    Wonder what Groedner would have done if AMerica would have voted to keep the game the same – I guess we would have have 4 weeks of test patterns on Sun/Weds/Thurs in September? I also think she is contractually obligated to keep Boogie around for as long as possible ala Rachel.

    I think BB really missed a fun opportunity…
    they should have brought the coaches back into the game (and with none of the “America voted” bs) and THEN had the eviction vote with the coaches voting too! Then to make the numbers right, they should have brought back poor Jodi from night #1. That would have been fun.

    Hate Boogie.

    “Shane and Frank whisper and agree they’ll each put up two coaches. I love how these two continue to act like they’re BFFs. Just fight, already!”

    ……Or kiss…..

    I want BB to bring KARA back. Let’s see what happens when Danielle realizes that Shane is playing her. THAT would be interesting.
    If I see Joe’s ugly-ass face with his good ole boy loudmouth on camera again I am gonna scream. How the hell does his wife put up with this? Well, she could be deaf. That would explain things.
    Wil may be bitching about Dan’s tactics but Dan’s tactics won him BB.
    How about the next competition would be to find Wil’s missing “l”…
    And Feather got it right – Boogie is a legend in his own mind.

    Did my ears deceive me or did I hear Wil mocking Danielle’s hick accent? I remember that he got pretty upset when Frank told him Willie was imitating his manner of speaking.

    Cranky, I believe it was implied he was making fun of him being gay . . . by doing a dead on impersonation-that was Shouty’s work.

    I can’t stand Snot (yes, I’m calling him Snot from now on, esp in that green, how dare he desecrate my favorite color!) I literally couldn’t watch. I knew he was going to go ballistic and get lots of DR, and I just can’t. Get rid of the blight that is Snot. I guess some of you have found a way to “love to hate” but I can’t. I do pity the pathetic dunce, but I can’t help people with such delusions. I guess it’s not his fault he was a buzzard in a previous life, but “you’re born naked, and the rest is drag”. He couldn’t possibly make it worse! (yes, that is a Ru Paul quote)

    I was really thankful for the feeds this time around, so I felt like I wouldn’t miss anything zipping to the nominations. I was struck by how long the challenge went on. I still don’t see why One L keeps getting singled out.

    Dan giving any excuse at all to not nominate two coaches makes me BURN!!!! F him, and his protective, elitist ways . . . they’ve already had a month of safeness, F them all!!!!!

    Does anyone think it’s a victory for TPTB that we get so pissed!? It must be, right? and now I’m guilty too . . . awwww . . .

    Anyway, thanks Danny for being my Live show eyes!

    Great recap, thanks!
    Also, am I the only one who thinks Boogie looks like the kind of guy who takes your baby after spinning straw into gold, if you don’t know that his real name is Rumpelstiltskin?

    I could not believe Boogie pulled the “don’t these people know who I am?” card. He is heinous beyond belief.

    @hot cawfee…CBS has had reality stars cross shows. Most recently Brendon and Rachael on The Amazing Race (my very favorite show).

    The entire problem with this season is that none — not a single one– of these people are engaging at all. I want them all to fail.

    Itchy I agree! Besides Britney, I could really care less who wins. I only like Britney because of her impressions of people, she is usually dead on!

    I just don’t get my people dont want to get the Winners from past seasons OUT! That would be my first goal!

    Danielle is an idiot, but that could keep her in the game for a very long time. Being easily manipulated means that Dan, Shane, and Brit will all work their butts off to keep her around to do their bidding. And anyone with any sense will see that Danielle is just the puppet, so when they get a chance to evict someone from that alliance it’ll be Dan or Shane or Brit. I bet even Wil, who is feeling very catty and back-stabbed right now, will go after Dan if he survives.

    How did Dan convince everyone on his team that it was no big deal that he narced them all out to Boogie? Cause I’d have been pissed about that shit.

    It appears that Wil’s onto Dan’s tricks, however.

    Featherhead, yea, in retrospect, there were lots of people wearing green in the recap.

    Itchy, I still have hope for One L, but I am not getting to see or hear much about him, except he can be bitchy and catty . . . which, fits right in with me . . . hee . . .

    Snot’s other pathetic shirt should have said “Bromance?”

    If I could reach into the nethers of TVGasm, I’d add a giant “L” to his forehead!

    mehrcat – Ian was counting one of the nominees as being out the door. So instead of being down to 7, the four coaches came in PLUS Frank stayed…making it 12.
