Things are getting nutty in Big Brother land! With the number of house guests dwindling, the backstabbing is reaching epic proportions, and Chill Town, with its tentacles on every last alliance, looks to be on borrowed time. But that might be enough for them because once again, they have shown that they’re a force to be reckoned with. Erika, meanwhile, has proven to be exactly what we feared: a sweet, naive sheep who plays with her heart and not with her head. It was equal parts frustrating and awesome watching her play tonight. Frustrating because we could see her making what could be a tragic mistake for her gaming chances. Awesome because the sheer levels of manipulation in the household are a sight to behold. No other reality show has allegiances and alliances so intertwined and complex. Everyone’s playing each other, and quite honestly, I have no idea how this rollercoaster season will end up.Last night’s episode began where Sunday’s left off: the nomination ceremony. Erika unsurprisingly put Janelle and Chicken George on the chopping block. Kind of made sense from her perspective. What didn’t make sense was why Chicken George left the ceremony carting off the nomination box. Shouldn’t that be Erika’s job? It seems like adding insult to injury, forcing the man into manual labor mere seconds after imperiling his chances for half a million dollars.
Anyway, Erika reminded us that she nominated Janelle because she saw her as a huge threat that she might not be able to beat in the end. Will, however, wanted to keep Janelle around (kept the target off him and his loyal sidekick, Boogie), but truth be told, as long as neither of them were nominated for eviction, he’d be happy. Later, while Dr. Will and Mike Boogie loitered in the kitchen, an awestruck George said in his best wino voice, “There’s still a lot of chill left in the town! How is that possible?” I wasn’t quite sure what he was getting at, but I imagined it had to do with the amazing feat that those two clowns were still in the house.
“They don’t even mess with the doctor,” George then said of his fellow house guests, “The baddest player in reality show history. Let’s not mess with him though!” Strange how no one wants to touch Dr. Will. I’m sure if George had been HOH, he’d surely change that! Oh wait…
“How Chill Town has made it this far, I have no idea,” Chicken George then said. Yes, George, who would have thought that when you nominated James and Erika and then Howie at Chill Town’s urgings, it would have caused Chill Town to actually advance in the game! What a co-inky-dink!
Later, at Will’s urging, Janelle marched upstairs to kiss Erika’s butt and tell her that she wasn’t mad at her (she was) and that she wanted to go after Chill Town next week. Wait, Will couldn’t have approved that last part, right? Was Janelle playing Chill Town after all? Not so much. She then told us that she had told a little “fib” to Erika, which meant that like so many others, Janelle was now firmly in the palm of Will and Boogie. Argh. Nevertheless, Janelle told Erika that if she survived the week, no worries. She wasn’t coming after her next week, especially if they work together. “Hmmm… no one in the house coming after me? I think I’ll take that deal!” Erika told us, displaying the first signs of the complacency that usually does in every player.
Downstairs, Will, Boogie, and Danielle played cards, and when Will asked if there was any benefit of keeping Janelle over Chicken George, Danielle replied, “Have you lost your mind, Will? No. Why would you consider that?” This, of course, was a poor move on her part because by showing dissatisfaction, she alerted Will that she was a potential threat to him, and if there’s anything she should know by now, it’s that Will merely asking about Janelle means she better start protecting her ass right now. You’d think she’d put two and two together, especially after she told us, “Janelle seems to be working with Chill Town. And then Erika won’t nominate Chill Town. There’s something wrong with this picture.” Yup: you’re on the outs! Better start scrambling!
But before any scheming could take place, there was big news. The much-hyped trampoline finally arrived! This resulted in plenty of bouncing around by Will, which in turn prompted accompanying sidekick bouncing by Boogie. I’m not even sure that Mike liked the trampoline. He probably just wanted to impress his Master. And as is the case with nearly any development in the Big Brother house, Boogie then put his stamp of poseur-ness on the trampoline by saying, “We got the pimp-oline. That’s what I call it because it’s the pimp trampoline!” Oh really? I didn’t realize that pimp-oline stood for pimp trampoline. You see, I’m unable to process compound words. Portmanteaus, if you will. And by the way, nothing called pimp-oline could ever be truly pimp, mostly because it sounds like he said “Pimple Lean.”
After the joy of the trampoline passed, we then returned to the HOH room where an earnest Danielle made the dreaded mistake of putting all her eggs in the Erika basket. She said she’d take her to the final two, “word on my kids.” Yes, the kiss of the death: swearing on the spawn. I’ve yet to actually see such a move turn out well for a reality star. Nevertheless, Erika said she was with Danielle, and so the hubris parade began. An overly confident Danielle told us how she and Erika were so tight and have been all along. “We strategize so much with one another, and we think of every single option,” Dani said, clearly overlooking how Erika opted to nominate Boogie’s picks just hours earlier.
Danielle then floated the idea of winning the veto and taking George off and pitting Will against Janelle. Erika sounded like she was all fine with it, but then she told us that she had reservations on account of the fact that “I’m technically part of Chill Town.” Yeah, um, bad news. You’re not. But feel free to think that. It’s always fun to watch another person get played.
Still, Danielle was optimistic that this would be her chance to finally attack Chill Town. “I am salivating for this to happen. It’s like my ultimate goal inside this house is to kick Will out of All-Stars.” I had a bad feeling about this. With James gone, Danielle was sounding a bit desperate — motivated too much by anger and revenge, and not thinking straight. She then told Erika, “They need to recognize.” Yeah sister! “Sometimes people that scumbag need to be scumbagged!” Go on with your bad self! “I got something wicked coming!” HELL YEAH!!! SHE WILL DESTROY ALL!!!!
We then went to commercial, and when we returned, we saw Dr. Will chuckling in bed to himself. According to the producers, he was dreaming about one thing: Neil Patrick Harris (who doesn’t dream about him?). “Best show on television: How I Met Your Mother,” Will said in a flashback. Apparently, he would not shut up about the guy (I personally thought he was pandering to the producers for a visit to the set). Well, on Sunday’s show, the house guests won Christmas in August, and to help usher in this unseasonal event, none other than Doogie Howser himself snuck into the Big Brother compound to spread holiday cheer and mirth every which way he went. I immediately loved this segment because we suddenly found Neil in the diary room, talking about his experience in the house. Seriously, what other celeb would do that? In season three, Sheryl Crow barely inched off her little stage to hug the players. I could never imagine her deigning to step into the diary room. And I’m pretty sure no celebrity has dropped by since then (the mime in season four doesn’t count). So big props to Neil Patrick Harris for not only stopping by, but gettin’ all up close and personal with the guests. Between this and Harold and Kumar, I’m fairly convinced that there’s no cameo he can’t rock.
Even better, Neil then said he was a big fan of Big Brother. I’m not sure if he meant that or if CBS had forced it out of him, but I had a feeling it was sincere. Like I said before, if he didn’t genuinely like the show, he probably wouldn’t have ventured three feet beyond the backyard door from which he entered.
Well, Doogie entered the house and woke everyone up, and as you can imagine, no one was as thrilled as Dr. Will. “I was lying in bed, and as usual, I was having a dream about hanging out with Neil Patrick Harris. And it was no longer a dream!” Let’s just hope it wasn’t a wet dream, and let’s just hope the sight of Neil Patrick Harris didn’t set off any instinctual bodily reactions, if you know what I’m saying.
Anyway, the gang then brought him out into the kitchen where they treated him to a lovely bowl of Big Brother slop. “Wow, that’s all kinds of nasty,” Neil said. He then gave a Santa suit to George, and once he was changed into it, everyone headed outside to open presents under the Christmas tree. Unfortunately, we’re in the middle of a little heat wave here in Los Angeles, and I was quite surprised that George in his suit didn’t immediately pass out right there under the tree.
Well, everyone opened their presents, and Neil explained that he got most of them clothing. “If I see Mike Boogie wear a Dolce shirt one more time on this show, really…” Doogie scoffed. He then spoke of George, saying, “He’s a little… um… simple.” Yay euphemisms! It’s okay, Neil. You can say “naturally lobotomized.”
For his gift, George received a new pair of Converse sneakers, prompting him to say, “Aw, they got a cool star on them too!” Imagine that: a Converse sneaker with a star on it. Hey, wanna hear something crazy? My Nikes have a swoosh on them! Yes, a real SWOOSH! And my Lacoste shirt has an alligator! Am I lucky or what? I don’t even want to tell you what’s on my Pumas! (That’s right! A PUMA!!!)
Neil then gushed a little about Janelle, saying she had a radiance, and then it was time for more fun on the trampoline. We discovered that Neil Patrick Harris is quite the tumbler as he executed a perfect flip mid-air. One word: Beijing 2008.
Well, this just made Will’s day. “First the trampoline, and then Neil Patrick Harris?” he said incredulously. “What’s next? I’m gonna win the show?” Quite possibly, sir.
Later, after Neil had returned to the outside world to collect his check, George hung out in the fitness room with Will and Mike, detailing how he once was struck by lightning. Wait, what? Yes, George has been singed by a heavenly flare. Kind of explains a lot, really. Of course, this led to Boogie noting, “If you’ve already been struck by lightning in life, is it really possible you’re gonna win a game show of this magnitude? I don’t think so because lightning doesn’t strike twice, people. It doesn’t.” HILARIOUS! I didn’t see that one coming at all! Somebody call Leno. We’ve got a new writer for him!
Anyway, this was all fun and good, but it was time to get back to the game. Will wanted to save Janelle and put Danielle up, but in order for that to happen, Boogie would have to work some “showmantical” magic. And this would require much effort because as we all know, Erika is not a pushover in the least! Well, that night, the two lovebirds cozied up, and Erika noted that Janelle had to go home this week, and then next week Chill Town would need to win HOH and send Danielle out. How very snakey, considering Erika was supposed to be allied with Danielle. This plan sounded nice and everything, but Boogie had some bad news: Danielle really should go this week instead. Wh-what? Erika was not expecting that. But oh well. I guess if Boogie says it’s what has to be done, then that’s what has to be done! As we went to commercial, Erika then said, “If I find out you’re really just playing me, I’m gonna kick your ass.” Chill Town? Playing someone? NEVER!
At the Veto competition, all the house guests were sequestered in different rooms. Why? Because it was the return of the face game! Remember last year when Big Brother morphed different faces together to make some of the most abhorrent creatures on this planet? Well, it looked like we were doing it again. Or were we? Turns out this challenge had to do with faces, but instead of using photoshop creatively, the producers merely showed ultra-cropped facial features from two people at a time, which wasn’t nearly as fun to watch. In fact, it kind of sucked. Excuse me while I appeal to the producers now: dearest producers. We love you here at TVgasm. The But First challenge was legendary. However, this new spin on the face game is terrible. Please return the mash-ups next year. Feel free to make it a tradition. Sincerely, B-Side.
Lame competition! Boo!
Boobies! Yay!
Well, first up was Boogie, who happily threw the whole thing so that he wouldn’t have to be in a position to make Erika angry. Next up was the HOH, and while she ran around like crazy, she did get a few combos wrong. Will then followed her and for once didn’t seem like he was throwing the competition. Unfortunately, try as he may have, he just could not get anything right. He wasn’t as bad as George, however, who was incapable of matching anything. The producers could have put the people’s full faces up there, and he’d still be stumped, saying things like “Oh geez. You really got me. Aw, c’mon now!” for twenty mintues.
Next up was Janelle, who zipped around like a little hummingbird with a loose microphone pack, and according to the editing, she seemed to have kicked ass. And then there was Danielle, who told us, “I don’t have to win the POV because I feel like I am safe.” Always a bad sign. Still, she put in a strong effort because she wanted to win it anyway, and according to the editing, it looked like she too rocked the competition. But who would win?
Well, coming in last place was George with a time of 24:23. Erika trounced him with a much more efficient 1:51. As for Will, he didn’t fare as well with his 3:19. But then there was super competitor Janelle. Her time: a whopping 1:00. Yes, that’s sixty seconds. Considering there were five sets of facial features, that meant she spent twelve seconds on each one. Geez. Next was Danielle who clocked in a 1:23, which was also mightily impressive, but not impressive enough. Mike rounded out the crowd with his 7:42 time, which meant that once again, Janelle won the Golden Power of Veto. That’s four vetos and three HOHs in this season alone. The girl is a powerhouse. I don’t know what the cumulative numbers are, but there’s no way that James is still the “Veto King” now.
Anyway, I was absolutely delighted that my girl won again and saved herself from potential elimination, but this all just made it clearer and clearer that Danielle was in jeopardy. My fears were further cemented when she confidently boasted, “Erika nad I had this deal, and she told me she wasn’t going to put me up; so hopefully she doesn’t. ‘Cause if she doesn’t put me up, guess what? She has to put someone from Chill Town!” Exactly. And the chances of that happening: .02%
After the competition, Danielle, Erika, and Janelle huddled together, smoked, and talked strategy. Danielle inexplicably ambled away, which left the two other girls to make plans. Janelle told us that if she acted like she was targeting Chill Town, then Erika might leave them in the house for her to go after next week. Another bit of brilliant craftiness. Not sure if that originated with Will or Janelle, but I had to respect it (even though it put Danielle in grave danger).
Meanwhile, in the pantry room, Will and Boogie danced triumphantly and extolled Janelle’s Veto win. “That chick is unbelievable!” MIke said, then adding that he would get Erika to put Danielle up. I didn’t know why he was so excited. Let’s not forget that he and Will have been battling over which showmance to take to the final three. Will wanted Janelle. Boogie wanted Erika. If Danielle were to go home this week, that would leave Erika exposed next week, and together, Will and Janelle could take her out. But of course, it’s no surprise that Boogie didn’t see this. He’s never been one for strategizing. He’s more the “sit next to Will and bask in his reflected glory (whilst wearing five arm bands)” type.
Later, Boogie spoke to Erika and said that she was gonna have to break ties with Danielle. “At some point, Erika, you’re going to have to be bad,” he said. And wouldn’t an impressively “bad” move be to take out her showmance’s mancrush? I guess Boogie probably meant that she had to be bad to someone OTHER than Chill Town. Will then noted that without Danielle, it was the three of them against Chicken George and Janelle. Of course, if Erika were to take out Will, it would be her, Danielle, and George against Boogie and Janelle. So truthfully, the numbers game approach had no real legitimacy. Not that something like “logic” would ever matter in this house. Honestly, the best move for Erika would be to nominate Will. If he went home, then Boogie’s loyalties would no longer be split, and Erika’s relationship with Danielle wouldn’t be ruined. In fact, Erika asked Boogie if it would be better for Will to go, but MIke’s eyes merely went wide and an incredulous smile appeared on his face. “No! No! Not at all!” he said, almost as if Erika had just asked if she should light a firecracker in her mouth.
Erika then asked Boogie if he was going to take Will to the final two, and he replied, “I thought we were all going to have a conversation down the road.” Translation: I’m leaving you behind, BITCH. C’mon, Erika. It’s a noncommittal response! Use your head!!!
Later, Danielle asked Erika, “You’re not putting me up, are you?”
“No,” she replied. And by “No,” she clearly meant, “YES YES YES!” Unfortunately, Danielle merely took the response at face value. She did nothing to ensure that Erika would stay true to her word (you know, like reminding her how bad of a move it would be to get rid of Danielle instead of Will).
Erika then said, “I gotta think,” which should have been Danielle’s big clue that things were not all hunky dory. If Erika has to think, that means that she’s weighing the option of not putting Will up. And if she doesn’t put Will up, she’s coming after you, Danielle! Don’t just stand there! Do something!
In her never ending attempt to not think for herself, Erika then summoned Janelle to her room for her advise. Of course, Janelle just did more Chill Town bidding as she endorsed a Danielle nomination. Ultimately, the two women made a deal to work together next week, and the meeting ended with superficial hugs and phony smiles. I know what you’re thinking: Erika made a hasty deal with someone? SHOCKER!
Erika then called Boogie up to her den of seduction and asked for further validation for what would surely be a Danielle nomination. Mike noted that Janelle and Danielle are frontrunners to win and needed to be evicted, but when Erika asked “But what about Will?” Boogie responded, “Will doesn’t give a fuck.” Yeah, he clearly doesn’t care. Can’t you tell? That’s why he’s stuck around so long and made sure to carefully instruct everyone in the house in every situation. He just doesn’t care!
“I feel like I’m going to be the Diane,” Erika then said. “Bros before Hos.” Here’s a crazy idea: if you think you’re going to be screwed over, get rid of Will! It’s like saying, “I feel like if I put this loaded gun to my head and pull the trigger, I’m going to shoot myself in the head! But I’m going to do it anyway!”
After the commercial break, Danielle approached Erika outside to find out what the deal situation was. Erika revealed that she was going to put her up, and in response, Danielle said… “Okay, that’s fine.” Huh? Danielle, you can’t go marching around saying how you’re gonna bring the hurt and then just keel over like that. Erika’s impressionable! Don’t try to guilt her with silent disappointment! State your case! Chill Town made the point that Erika could not beat Danielle in the final two (which isn’t necessarily true). Now Danielle has to make the case that Erika could not rely on Will or Boogie to take her to the final two in the first place. But alas, Danielle just quietly slinked away… for the time being.
Then night came, and as a drunken Danielle hung out with George in the hot tub, Erika sauntered out to see what was going on. “Her allegiance is to Chill Town. Remember that,” Danielle told him, not caring that Erika was sitting just feet away.
“When I walk out the door, and she comes to you — ‘I did everything to make sure you were safe’ — do not believe that at all,” she said. She was right. But she was also tragically too late to figure this all out. Besides, was it really so smart to antagonize Erika when the Veto Ceremony still hadn’t taken place yet? Not really. But it sure was entertaining.
At one point, Erika tried to say something, but Danielle barked, “WHAT?” Man, I’d never seen her this way. At least, not since that very first week of Big Brother 3 when she started a whirlwind of controversy with Jerry’s salad antics (for which Lori ultimately took the fall).
George recommended that the two ladies have a little talk and patch things up, which caused the drunk Danielle to snap at Erika, “You ready to come here and talk???” This led to light bickering, with Erika entertainingly saying, “Danielle, I did not betray you.” Yes, she merely went back on her word in a fateful and devastating way. But it was hardly a betrayal.
Danielle then turned all emotional, insisting that she had had Erika’s back — she had given her her heart. But now, if Erika put her on the jury, she would not receive her vote. “You nominating me is the ultimate betrayal,” Dani said, stealing a page from Howie’s book. Poor Danielle. She had played such a strong game until now. This was totally the wrong way to go about this. She was destroying any last chances she had with Erika by being emotional and crazy and ultimately threatening her.
It was therefore no surprise that Erika went immediately running to Dr. Will for emotional help. The two zipped up to her HOH room where Will took advantage of Erika’s fragile, vulnerable state to further cement the need to get rid of Danielle. Eventually, however, Danielle rang the HOH doorbell, but Will insisted that Erika just be silent and not let her in. This soon turned into a standoff of sorts, as Dani maniacally (or drunkenly, really) rang the bell over and over again, eventually letting her thumb stay firmly planted on the button for what seemed like minutes on end. Yes, Danielle had gone nuts, and honestly, it was sad. You never like to see a great player like her resort to such ineffective acts of desperation. The more she rang that bell, the smaller her chances became of turning Erika. Why, Dani? Why?
Come and knock on my door…. We’ll be waiting for you…
At the Veto ceremony, Janelle obviously took herself off the block, which meant the inevitable happened: Erika put a livid, sunglass-wearing Danielle up on the block. The HOH then delivered a teary, lip-quivering speech about how she respected Danielle so much and loved her as a person and hated doing this and hoped that last night’s rant was just strategy. In response, Danielle said… nothing. She was just an ice cold statue of rage. Yeah, it was intense. Erika then stormed off, leaving the rest of the house guests to awkwardly sit around the couches and wish they were anywhere else in the house but there (George kept his eyes firmly planted on his feet).
Afterwards, Danielle expressed how angry she was at Erika, but then told us, “Shame on me for trusting her.” Yup. Shame on you. You saw that she was aligning with Chill Town. You should have kept to your oath with Janelle.
As the episode ended, we then had another installment of Chill Town theater as the two guys performed another one of their once-annoying, now-lovable phone bits.
“Do you remember a couple weeks back when I got my showmance to put up her very best friend Marcellas, and then we evicted him?” Will asked.
“Yeah,” Boogie replied.
“Could I bother you to do that this week with your showmance? Just get her to put up her best friend, Danielle?” Will then said. Mike then said sure, no problem. Laughter ensued.
And once again, Chill Town notches another victory. Are they unstoppable? Can Danielle save herself? And is this season not getting better and better by the minute?

Dr. Will is the reason I began watching reality TV.
And he is also the reason I continue to watch.
Dr. Will to me as Neil Patrick Harris is to Dr. Will.
60 seconds divided by 5 is 12, not 6, but that was still an incredible time – Janelle is finally playing like we expected.
It is so frustrating to see player after player get hoodwinked by Will….Isn’t this supposed to be the all stars? (Sigh)
I loved Will’s boy crush on Neil Patrick Harris. I think there may be an opportunity for it to be reciprocated….
I hope Danielle goes, I don’t like players that whine about how they are doing this for their family and kids and use that to guilt other players into letting them get further…oh please Danielle, the other players are not responsible for you making bad choices in life, and getting knocked up at 15.
KH
I’ve been saying this for a few weeks now: Dr. Will has this game sewed up and I will love it when the jury picks him. I don’t doubt that the two business partners long ago agree to split the winnings right down the middle (which I think is real shitty), so each will end up with $275,000.00 plus their BB time pay, estimated to be $2,500.00 a week.
It’s widely opined that Will is rich and doesn’t really care about the money. Bullshit. He’s a very young dermatologist with a very likely small practice (if any), so this will be big bucks for him. I daresay that if Boogie’s clubs are any good, HE’S making more money than Will.
Let’s see…Janelle is a cocktail waitress. Sorry, a VIP cocktail waitress, bimbish in a sorta cute way. Think there’s any chance she’s been told there’ll be a place for her in the Boogie club paradise?
Danielle=Disaster. Not that I like her, which I don’t, but last night was a desperate, unintelligible, senseless rant from beginning to end. She had a right to feel safe at first, but she rested on her alliance with Erika, who has made it public that she hopes to be an item with Boogie.
Don’t bother speculating about Will and Boogie. No way these two are going to tussle over top dog rights, which title everyone but Boogie knows belongs to Will. Their real world association and partnership will earn them far more than this game will.
I’ll be very surprised if there are any surprises left. The one wild card is Janelle, who may stay in the game to the Final Three by winning HoH and/or POVs.
Katieshole (#3), way to tell it like it is. I thought the same when Diane whined about everyone but her having a life outside the house. It’s all about choices, people! This BS of swearing on your kids is just that. If hotcrotch couldn’t exercise better judgment at 15, I sure am not going to throw the competition to atone for her stupidity.
Either there is more alcohol than we are shown, or the slop is hallucinogenic. There is no other reason for why these people are letting themselves be led by the rings in their noses. None of them have figured out that Dr. Will is playing them? Janelle just gets goofy when she gets near him, Chicken George loses the few brain cells he has when he gets near him, Erica–well Erica is just a dumb sheepie who is already under the delusion that she is smart. And Danielle! Why in the WORLD would she trust Will?? Or his minions?? Instead of All-Stars, these people are All-Idiots.
Yep, the competition was lame. We didn’t get to see the final answers to the faces. Janelle got them all right in a minute? In the house after the competition she looked dishelved, not happy, and when people asked her how she did it so fast and who comprised the first face she snapped, big time. Avoiding answering the questions altogether. If you know who the faces where why not answer the question? Unless you didn’t know and was afraid the other HG’s might pick up on it. She quickly faded into the background hoping to become invisible.
Now I’m not saying the Producers had anything to do with her win but they have relied heavily on competitions that cannot be followed by the fans. Jigged what…?
Neal Patrick who?… What are the odds that Will is a huge Neal Patrick Harris fan (this revelation revealed in week 2 or 3) who ‘happens’ to have a show on CBS? BB7 is completely unscripted right? Depends on what your definition of Reality and Unscripted are.
Does Danielle remember her season? Marci? Its the boomerang / karma effect.
According to the live feeds and and an email BB update I get ( http://realitytvcalendar.com/ ), Erika first woke Boogie, not Will,and Boogie refused to get up and told Erika she should go to Will for support instead. Personally, if he were my boyfriend, showmance or not, his butt would have been going up the next day just for punk out alone. If you go to the above site to sign up, have a good pop up, and still be on the look out for pop unders. Even with pop up blockers, I still get hit, but if you’re a spoiler freak like me, wanting to know POV’s on Monday, as well as enjoying watching it Tuesday, it’s still a good site. I can’t believe I never watched this show before the last 6 seasons. LOL So much drama!
During the POV results reveal that cold look Janelle gave Danielle was wicked cool. Jedi Janie wins again. The woman is FIERCE.
Danielle then says she feels safe, since she is sure someone from Chilltown will go up. (Confidence – the sure sign of downfall on any reality show). Will wants Danielle to go up, but to go up with the illusion that she’s safe. And it seems that whatever Will wants….Will gets. Methinks The Black Widow has spun her last web.
Dani goes to Erika and tells her, “You won’t get my vote. You won’t. I gave you my heart. I looked in your eye, I made promises, and I meant it!” You can tell Danielle is a Mom – they are the best at guilt trips this heavy!
Chilltown and their phone call comedy skit…Abbott & Costello these two are NOT.
okay – Dani’s gone, but who is the second one?
hb
I agree that Will is a struggling practitioner. Boogie is probably a minor investor in those restaurants rather than a top dog. Meaning hollywood actors front the money and Boogie act as manager.
Sometimes even the best choices ends with bad results. I wouldn’t fault Danny for having kids at 15 particularly since she’s done well with them. It’s not like she’s a crackhead as James called her. Is Danny wrong for bringing her kids up with Erika? No. Erika and Danny bonded during conversations of family experience and love. They have that in common and swearing on her kids showed how serious her bond to Erika was. If Danny would have pulled that on Janelle, Will or Boogie, yeah I would say bitch cut it out. But Danny, Erika and CG bonded over family and constantly described how important those bonds are.
What Danny did is totally different than what a Johnny Fairplay would do or the countless others who swear on their family just for the sake of it.
And this season’s winner.. WILL. No point in watching the show anyore. Erika your a dumb dumb SCREWED bitch. Boogie is playing you! Duh espcially if you keep having the feeling. I didnt like Janelle much before but now I hope now she can get rid of Chilltown but I highly doubt it. Chicken George? I know it sad and probably will never happen but I want him to win.
OK !! It’s a given that Danielle is gone. I sure was hoping that Ericka would have woke up and put Will up on the block, but it was not to be. Danielle is a goner with 2 votes from Chill Town. I do remember that Julie Chen said there would be 2 evictions this week…hopefully the other will be a Chill Town member.
“…we then had another installment of Chill Town theater as the two guys performed another of their once-annoying, now-lovable phone bits.” No, it’s STILL annoying.
James’ goal in life is politics, but I think Dr. Will is more suited for it. He could charm and hoodwink anyone out of (or into) anything.
Is Dani and nightly-drunk at home, too? Dani wanted to play this season with honesty and integrity to prove to her girls that it can be done. Really? This is what she calls honesty and integrity?
Even Chicken George didn’t swear on his daughter’s lives to ANYone.
And last, not certainly NOT least–GOOOOOO JAANIE!!!
Sorry, that was supposed to read “a nightly-drunk…”
Everyone who lambasted Janey for working with Chilltown should admit how wrong they were. While we were all nostalgic for last season and seeing the Sovereign together again, it would appear Janey made the right move. Kaysar is a very nice guy who was in over his head. Howie was a dumbass who became a complete liability and never won anything. James was never really with her anyway. So here she is in the final five. From here she is really going to have to win HOH to survive though. I don’t know how much longer CT will keep her around if they have the power. Either Will or Boogie will beat CG or Erika in a final two, but against Janey in a final two only Will stands a strong chance of winning.
DOOGIE!
I am just really, really depressed. Why? Because I do NOT want to see CT win this game. I don’t care how they play the game, they’re just freaking annoying.
My only hope is that Janelle wins HoH and veto on Thursday and gets rid of Will (or, actually, what would be better is George wins HoH somehow and Janelle wins veto and Will/Boogie is voted out), and then Janey wins HoH twice in a row to proceed to the finals.
testiculon,
i think b-side meant that since each round had 2 faces to identify, it took her about 6 seconds for each person (12 seconds for each pair).
i can’t believe the way dani flipped out like that. take a page from james and leave with some shred of dignity!
her only hope was to try to convince erika to put up will for nomination.
even if erika had done it, it they still would have had a hard time getting janelle to vote out will instead of CG, which was an even bigger longshot.
poor dani.
erika should have put up will and janelle for eviction so janelle could win the veto and they could have voted out will.
Erika is an idiot! An IDIOT!!!! I’m going to enjoy seeing her backstabbed.
Danielle played the hand she was dealt. Unfortunately, she was dealt Chilltown.
Erika is the biggest idiot on the entire planet. When Boogie backstabs her, she will be getting exactly what she deserves. What an unbelievable moron.
I can’t bring myself to root for Janelle. She’s made too many mistakes and still thinks she can trust Will. She’s going the same way as Erika and Danielle: to the jury house.
How is it that all of my hopes are now pinned on Chicken George? What a world.
Double Eleminaion.. how would that work?? I’d like to see Danielle drag Erika or Will with her
B-Side – this is my first season watching BB, thanks to tvgasm. can we see you in the house for season 8??
I think Danielle may be smart, but she’s never smart enough. Or maybe she is smart enough, but her timing sucks ass. Yeah, she wised up to Will, but it was too late by then. She can’t seem to win shit, either. “Will’s ass is mine,” “Black Widow”, blah, blah, blah, it’s all bullshit. She doesn’t DO anything!!! Not winning shit has gotten her this far, and that’s it. She totally did herself in by flipping out on Erika, too. All Danielle did was cement her ass into the nominee chair. If she was so brilliant, she probably should have played it off like it didn’t bother her. Erika is totally movable; Danielle could have worked on her some more, but she chose to get drunk and stupid. See ya, Danielle. I love Will and admire his gameplay, but I cannot BELIEVE not one person has questioned anything that has come out of his mouth! They all just take what he says at face value! It’s quite a thing to behold. Janelle could win this thing. We’ll see, though. She still seems highly dick-whipped by Will still. It’ll be exciting to see what goes on next episode. One last thing…Go Janelle.
Is it me or is Erica looking more and more like a horse as the season goes by?
In the third-to-last line, I used “still” too many times on accident, lol. Sorry about that.
You know, I suspect that after this is over, and Erika gets to see the entire show… there is going to be a “Big Brother Murder” headline on CNN….
HAHA, Jeff. Yep! I’ll be waiting for that one, too. She did say TWICE now, “If you’re playing me, I’ll kick your ass.”
ROFLMAO Jeff! That’s just too damned funny!
I find it interesting that the HGs still don’t know that the season is ending early. When they were talking to Neil Patrick Harris, they were talking about how long they had been in the house, and also said that they had 20-some days left. But with the shortening of the season that was announced a few weeks ago, they’ll be done two weeks from now.
Damn, I love Danielle and it was so painful to see her act and be done that way last night. I’ll have no one left to cheer for after she leaves the house. I’m fine with Will winning it all since he has ruled the house since day 1. Those fools!!
Now, about Erika, I didn’t want to take shots at her intelligence but after what she did, I have to say that she is AN IDIOT! How she believes that Mike will take her to the finals over Will is beyond me. She made me cringe on my couch when she kept asking Mike if he was playing her. As if he’ll just answer honestly and tell her “Yes, Erika, I am. Now suck this.” Of course he’s playing you, bitch! Why would he make you betray YOUR best friend in the house to save HIS friend if he wasn’t, Erika?! I cannot wait to see this play out. I think she said earlier this season that she had a real tough couple of months before the game started. Looks like rough times are not over for her yet.
Oh and I wanted to add that the visit by Neil Patrick Harris was very cute. He looked very genuine to the HGs. Then again, it could be just because he’s a good actor. I liked this episode a lot, the season is getting crazier by the day. Thanks for the recap B-Side!
Janelle’s ‘turning’ me gay.
and i’m surprised at the number of people here that really think she’s smitten with Will. sure, there’s definitely some chemistry, some flirting. but, it’s a strategy. a good one. Will has no clue. It’s hilarious to hear him talk about how he has her “wrapped around his finger”. it’s been Janelle’s strategy to woo Will since VERY early on in the house, before SeaSix was gone even.
everyone out there that worships Will as the best reality show constestant ever should bow to the true Mistress of Reality TV, Janelle.
I may be in the minority but I never liked Danielle — I think she is highly overrated. Her antics last night made her look like a fool.
I have to wonder, though, why she seemed so caught off guard that Erika was with Chilltown — is she living in that house ? Does she not see the showmance with Boogie that’s unfolded before her that we are all seeing on the show and the live feeds ?
Ok, how awesome would it have been if, as he was leaving the house, Doogie screamed “Erica and Janelle are both working with Chill Town!!!!!!” That would have been great……
oh, dear. danielle’s melt-down was the zidane head-butt of reality TV. first, she rolled over when erika tried to brace her for the betrayal; then she had a drunken, psychotic break. it’d be tragic if it weren’t so much fun to watch and ridicule.
danielle is the ultimate jekyll and hyde player (both literally and figuratively: it amazes me how she can go from looking like a strung-out crack whore in that ratty-ass pink bathrobe with a cig dangling from her mouth to a charming beauty in the diary room and on thursday night live broadcasts). she has always veered sharply between cool, calculated manipulation and emotional instability. the lack of control really cost her, because if she’d kept her cool she could have easily pointed out to erika how utterly stupid passing up the opportunity to split up chill-town would be. then, if george was evicted, erika would know for sure that CT is in bed with janelle (which she should already have guessed after janey voted to evict james last week).
the most ridiculous part of this whole debacle is that erika keeps telling boogie ‘you better not be playing me’ and ‘i don’t want to end up like diane in season 5,’ when that is exactly what is happening to her. it’s too bad erika just blew her chance of winning the game, because she’s going to need at least $500,000 worth of therapy when she finds out how badly she’s been duped.
doogie in the house was actually pretty fun (ANTF, i’m with you re: will’s suspicious enthusiasm for ‘how i met your mother,’ but having NPH in the diary room and throwing a killer flip on the pimple-lean was sweet). but the highlight of the ep was will and boogie’s reaction to george’s story about being struck by lightning. it’s fun to watch a facial expression shift in a matter of seconds from ‘WTF?’ to ‘that explains everything.’
What kills me, is I strongly believe Dani is leaving this week, plus whomever the new HOH picks tomorrow, (my guess, Chicken George), then next week, Erika is going to get to see first hand what Dani feels like this week GUARANTEED because Will is not going to want to take Erika to finals, he’s going to want to take Janelle. Why, looks at her playing history. Four Vetoes and 3 HOHs this seasons, and I don’t even know what last season was because this is my first year watching ever! (And here I used to jokingly mock my friends who watched BB with “How can you watch that crap?” Now here I am watching “that crap” am hooked as hell. LOL All over curiousity. Too bad I can’t go back and look at the last 6 seasons. LOL)
In some ways I feel bad for Erika and Dani. Hopefully when they meet up in a week in sequester, the hurt feelings can be repaired, but something tellsme it’ll take a lot. I’m putting money on it being Will, Boogey, and Janelle being the final three and unless Mike wins an HOH again, he’ll find himself being the odd man out in that little trio and voting to give his partner the money, which shouldn’t be a problem considering they’re going to share everything anyway in the end.
I’ve been wondering something….
If no one besides Will and Boogie know that Erica is schlepin’ Mike Boogie, what the hell does everyone think when Mike Boogie and Erica come down the stairs together in the morning?
I think this is working out for the best for Janelle. I think she will get the four votes needed to win if she is final two with either Erika or Boogie. Against Will it could go either way. Against CG I believe she would lose, because everyone would be so impressed that he’d made it that far. But since the final comp is usually about endurance it’s unlikely George would make it to the very end.

“I’ve been saying this for a few weeks now: Dr. Will has this game sewed up and I will love it when the jury picks him. I don’t doubt that the two business partners long ago agree to split the winnings right down the middle (which I think is real shitty), so each will end up with $275,000.00 plus their BB time pay, estimated to be $2,500.00 a week.”
But according to Mortys TV
“Each guest is paid $4000 a week salary, and $5000 a week for each week in the sequester house. If a HG wins, their salary is deducted from the prize. This year, that really sucks as second place winner will end up with less cash than the first sequestered juror.”

Has anyone else noticed how freakin’ big Erika’s feet are? She really shouldn’t wear those white sneakers cuz they make her look like Sasquatch!
I’m new to this so if this comment has been made before, sorry.

“¦.Even better, Neil then said he was a big fan of Big Brother. I’m not sure if he meant that or if CBS had forced it out of him, but I had a feeling it was sincere. Like I said before, if he didn’t genuinely like the show, he probably wouldn’t have ventured three feet beyond the backyard door from which he entered¦..”
As I am just as obsessed with The NPH as Dr. Will, I do know that he is a reality TV fan. Yes, he is a great actor, but I believe that he was truly excited to have a chance to enter the BB house.
I saw him on some show a few months ago (Craig Ferguson show perhaps?), and while he didn’t say that he was a fan of “Big Brother” per se, he did say that he was obsessed with “The Amazing Race”. Apparently, he and his co-star Jason Segel would like to be teammates on a celebrity version of the show, if that ever happened. I, for one, love that idea. The NPH, the beloved Nick Andopolis from “Freaks and Geeks”, and The Phil® “ now THAT would be a true TVgasm!
AWWWW MAN!
Well we all know that Danie is gone. DAMN! She was doing so good and she finally broke down. She told us that she wasn’t gonna last long without James and I guess she wasn’t playing. I was shocked when they kept saying she was going crazy, but she was drunk not crazy.
Anyway now I have to pray they get ride of Brittle Bitch Barbie and Ericka quickly. Wouldnt it be funny if CG and Will was the last two and everyone voted for CG?
AnywayI was so hurt last night that I had to get me some chocolate and pout for a second. I still love Dr. Chill though. I can’t hate him for to long..
GO DR.
Janelle, Will and Danielle are probably the best BB players ever – but all in very different ways. I’ve been rooting for Danielle for the last 10 episodes or so. And now I’m depressed that she’s going. That was not an easy episode to watch.
This season is like Reality TV does Othello – with Will doing his Iago act in the wings. Every week I tune in and hope that someone will have the guts to separate Chilltown, and every week they get away with it. How? Did nobody bother to watch season 2 in advance? The only bit of hope I have left in the game now is Janelle’s amazing Fembot powers of competition – if she can win HOH a couple of times, she may make it to the final. But I doubt it.
Sorry to see Danielle go- she at least seemed smarter than the others.
In the spirit of ANTF just for fun have a look at Boogie’s Balls:
And Janelle’s reaction:
Promise no spoilers, except your appetite!
If Will’s love for Doogie was cooked up, it was well planned. If you go to his questionairre at CBS.com, will lists NPH as his favorite actor and “How I Met Your Mother” as one of his favorite TV shows.
Court_Love (#37), I have to call a foul on your Yiddish usage. I think you meant to say that Erika is “schtupping” Boogie, not “schleping”, as in to lug/drag either self or another person or heavy thing around.
Check out these pictures of Will and Janelle from their 5-star dinner last night…
(Lots of drunk whispering & constant staring into each others eyes…)
This ep really broke my heart…it was so hard to see Danielle blatantly get screwed by Erika. Dani has played the best game-along with Will and Janelle and for her to go out like this, it sucks.
Her freak-out was well justified, I think. Why beat around the bush and talk behind backs when you can just confront the source directly? Erika does not have enough balls to play this game. She didn’t have the balls to NOT nominate Dani, and when confronted by Dani she hid behind Will. She is a waste of time and oxygen in that house.
I can’t WAIT to see Boogie and Will screw her over……cuz oh yeah, it’s GONNA happen! And when it does, she will officially be the dumbest player in Big Bro history.
At this point, I would like to see Janelle and Will in the top 2, Janelle winning the whole thing. Cuz let’s face it: the girl is a BAD ASS.
My favorite part of last night’s show was when Chicken George was telling his “I Was Hit by Lightning” story. Just as he finished by saying that after the incident there was nothing wrong with him, the producers cut to the picture of him in his aluminum foil Jedi getup and other various fashion freak shows.
Plus…I love how CG tells the whole story while he’s lying down on the treadmill! Hilarious!
I think Danielle’s cocktail hour cost her about $500,000 – BAD MOVE! She could have salvaged her position if she had kept her cool.
Janelle seems like she might be a professional vixen, I think Dr. Will may have met his match. I would not be surprised to to see Janelle put together an end-run around CT and form an “alliance” with CG and Erika. I think CG would vote with Janelle – If she put up Erika and Will (lying to Erika about votes), Erika would be out, thereby breaking up the Skeletor-Booger alliance. She could very well end up in the final two with George, if she plays her cards right.
I’ll bet Will would be secretly turned-on by Janelle winning. I think he’s a bit uxorious when it comes to her, and the thought that she would turn on him for $500,000 excites him.
I think he and Booger are pretty secure financially, and while the money would be nice – they’re in it for the publicity and the game.
Yep, Danielle should have laid off the booze. She won’t be bringing the money home to her kids thanks to her drunken ways.

“uxorious”?
I didn’t realize Will and Janey were married?
hb
“Once-annoying, now-lovable phone bits”?
Still annoying.
Doogie said it best, “If I see Mike Boogie wear a Dolce shirt one more time on this show, really…”
I must say that I’m in love with Dr. Will and have been since we first saw him on his Big Brother. Even though he was with that wretched Shannon. Him and Hardy stole my heart. I want him to win though, I could do without Mike Boogie and his damn sweatbands and bad fashion.
That being my sister was in her residency with Dr. Will when he was in Miami. Will by no means is struggling. His parents are wealthy so his mind games and lying are not to win the money for a failing practice he likes to screw people over for fun. And really isn’t that why we love him.
