It’s been a tough week for me when it comes to Big Brother. On one hand, I was so happy that Danielle won Head of Household because I was excited to see that some adult supervision would be coming to the house. Season Six has done a good job of talking a lot about how wonderful their strategy is, but in reality the people who have benefited the most from their nominations are Chilltown. Still, I can’t say that I am absolutely enjoying Danielle’s reign because she put. But whatever the result, Danielle is really forcing people to play the game, and that is really all that you can ask for. What we got in return was one of the best episodes of the season.Although I was happy with Danielle nominating James and Janelle (season six needs to be broken down for the good of the game), I thought that she could have made it a lot easier on herself by putting up Janelle and Kaysar. If one of them wins Veto, she could then put up James as a decoy. If Kaysar was to win veto, he would probably take off Janelle, meaning neither of them would be on the block, which would be a major blow to Danielle. For somebody who always likes to keep it simple and straight to the point, I thought this was a bad move on Danielle’s part.
The good part about the strategy was that James was able to sell his surprise and anger very well, and he even called it “one of the better moments in my brief, but non-existent acting career”, much like the mornings I belt out “The Seed (2.0)” in the shower is part of my (thankfully) brief and (mercifully, for you) non-existent singing career. Boogie was so impressed with the way things went down that he believed that the Legion of Doom, which honestly is about as cool as naming your alliance “Stratego”, had devised the “perfect” plan. And you all know what happens when anybody has a perfect plan and announces it all over house? It almost always backfires in their face, leaving several people to pick up the pieces.
It’s not long before Janelle has already sniffed out part of James’ strategy. When talking with Kaysar, she starts to wonder about the nomination ceremony. She even begins to wonder if James is working with Danielle, and therefore James knew he was going to go up. Kaysar, who is proving each week that he is more and more overrated said that there was no way in “a million years” that James would go for that kind of deal. Janelle, however, is not convinces, and this is why we love her. She begins to realize that there is a good chance that if James wins the veto, he is coming off, and Kaysar could be back-doored. She is right, but I think any person in James’ position would fight for the veto to take himself off. However, if somebody else were to win the veto and take James off, that would be a good indicator of something being wrong.
Never say never again Kaysar
Ironically, season six makes a great argument for why James should not have full loyalty to their alliance, because they do not have full loyalty to him. Janelle says that there has always been a little bit of suspicion since James turned on them last year. She conveniently forgets that James turned on his alliance because stupid Howie, in a move that STILL pisses me off to this day, let Maggie convince him that he needed to put up James and Sarah. When your alliance puts up you AND your girlfriend in order to get you out of the house, there is reason for you to want some revenge. Janelle basically admitted that they are only using James for numbers, and I think James is justified to get out before Dr. Will is able to convince Janelle or Kaysar that James is more dangerous in their alliance than one of them, and YOU KNOW that is going to happen sooner than later.
Danielle seems to have turned the tide in her favor with a number of houseguests. Marcellas bought the act, hook, line, and sinker. Before, he thought that they had some deal, but now Danielle blew the game wide open. Danielle is happy that Marcellas is on her side, but prefers to keep him the dark.
Another strange occurrence came when George entered Danielle’s room and basically said that he wasn’t going to be playing the game for himself any longer. In an act of capitulation so great that even Vichy France would be ashamed, George said that he has been watching Danielle and the odds are in her favor. George says Danielle can whip it, which I guess is his way of saying that she can dominate the game. Good thing Danielle is not a pirate or Jesse Jackson, because she might have taken offense. Basically, George says that he understands what she is playing for and if he is not able to get to the end, he wants to be there for her if she does.
One of the reasons I love Big brother is that it always introduces us to new vocabulary. This latest word of the week, comes from Mike Boogie who complains that there are some people that are too meterosexual in the house. No, I didn’t spell that wrong. Boogie pronounced met-er-o as one three syllables instead of two syllables in metro. I would give Boogie the benefit of the doubt and say he was trying to be funny, but this is the guy who masturbates in a gardening shed and cut his toe open celebrating a veto victory. Actually, Mike Boogie is probably upset that these guys can actually grow pubes.
What the HELL is Howie shaving?
So what was making Boogie so nervous that his manly prowess was threatened? Apparently, there is an epidemic in the house where everybody is shaving their bodies. Well, we only see Howie and Will shaving their bodies, but you know that Kaysar shaves his body because his chest hair has now turned into a map of Colombia or something, and his pit stains are out of control. Hey, I can understand why people might need to trim the shrubbery a little bit, and nobody wants to be confused for a Sasquatch like Bunky, but it seems like Will and Howie are a little bit obsessed with being hairless. The worst part about all of this body grooming is that the two of them convinced Chicken George that he should also go hairless, but thankfully the producers cut away before making us watch Howie shave George.
Time for the rub and tug
Now that it is week six, we have sort of reached the point where Howie has become more annoying than a lawn mower going off outside your apartment at 6AM on a Saturday. At first, he’s funny because he is goofy, and his shtick is kind of cute. Unfortunately, Howie isn’t very creative, and this whole “Big Boy” character that he has going is really starting to become stupid. Since there is no way to get away from Howie in a house that small, you have to live with him. Avoiding him is like trying to drive to Vegas without seeing a billboard for Danny Gans. Although Danny Gans would be a lot funnier if he mooned the camera as much as Big Boy.
Will has been trying to put the moves on Janelle, but Erika has started to take notice of him as well. You would think she would have learned her lesson after dating another Big Brother contestant for so long, but hey, who doesn’t want to marry a doctor? Erika asked if Will would marry her and Janelle, presumably after the three of them moved to Utah, which when you think of it would be perfect, because Will would never again have to lament about being the palest person in the state. Before Will’s dirty little mind could contemplate all of the benefits of the “Ménage a Trois” alliance, Howie was upstairs with some food, willing to give out advice.
It’s bad enough when your stupid friend is ruining your game, but it’s even worse when he’s really not your friend, and the only thing you get out of him is that you shouldn’t confuse the difference between knowledge and wisdom. Howie may be dumb, but at least we know that he can read a fortune cookie. That leads Janelle to make a comment that Howie can’t add anything to a conversation that is intellectual, exciting, or even funny. In other words, inviting Howie into your discussion would be like inviting Mel Gibson to your bar mitzvah.
As it came time for the veto competition, it was time to see what the Legion of Doom was made of. Remember that Boogie said that their plan was “foolproof”. James prayed to the Big Brother Gods to help him send the evil, duplicitous Janelle home and said that if the Legion of Doom was clicking on the same page, it will work together very nicely. As it came time to pick veto participants, the scenario came out exactly like Danielle would have written int. She drew Will’s name, and James picked Mike Boogie. Janelle had her choice of houseguests, but instead of picking Kaysar or Howie, she picked Marcellas. She was worried because neither Kaysar nor Howie would promise her to use the veto, which seems really kind of fucked up if you ask me, but Marcellas is no longer in her pocket and would never use it either, but she doesn’t know that.
The six participants were taken outside, where the producers had set up a bunch of graves, and Erika, who was leading the ceremony from inside, started talking about being “buried alive” and stuff. A lot of the houseguests got nervous, and Mike described it as a cemetery of horror as if he expected that somebody was going to create a cemetery of love and happiness or something. In actuality, it wasn’t as bad as it sounds. Although there were a bunch of caskets with dirt on them, the houseguests were told to lie down in between the caskets, which were only there to make sure that none of the participants could see each other. I’m kind of surprised Boogie didn’t try and rub one out with all of his newfound privacy.
The game was very simple, and I think a very good one. Everybody started with 40 veto points, but Erika would read ten offers, and the first person to hit their button could add or subtract their veto points depending on what she said. Danielle was depending on her Chilltown synergy to help her win, and she was willing to do anything to keep her nominations the same.
They tried not to reveal who took any of the offers until the end, but you knew that Janelle was going to fight for every point, and Danielle was going to do the same. The offers were:
1. Add veto points and replace all the beds with cots. Additionally, there would be no hot water for the week.
2. Add points and live 24 hours in solitary confinement with nothing to eat but slop and water.
3. Give up points for margarita party.
4. Give up points for a plasma television.
5. Give up points for a call from home.
6. Give up points for a trip to Aruba.
7. Add points and put the four houseguests not participating in the competition on slop.
8. Give up points for a personal slop-free pass for the summer.
9. Bet as many veto points as possible to win $5000
10. Add points and not participate in the Power Of Veto ceremony the next week.
How did Janelle manage to avoid the camel toe?
Janelle won the power of veto, but since none of the results were revealed to the houseguests, it was up to them to be truthful about what they did to add or points, or what they received for giving up points. However, most of the people who won freely admitted what they won, even Janelle, who put everybody on cots and no hot water and four of the houseguests, including two of her allies on slop for the rest of the week.
As people started admitting to what sort of rewards they gave up, Danielle started to become pissed. She was hoping that her alliance would try and fight for every point, and couldn’t believe at what some of the people won. The hardest thing was for her to hear James, who is really her strongest ally right now, took the phone call from home, because she wanted to take it so bad, but didn’t because she wanted to win veto. You could see it coming from a mile away as soon as the producers had James say, “if we all click” that Legion of Doom would fuck up.
Now even though Danielle had a reason to be upset at the poor performance of her alliance, it is actually beneficial that they didn’t try and compete for veto points. The last thing that they wanted to do was to spread the veto points out among a bunch of different people. It makes no sense for several of them to gain points, because that means that Janelle would have an easier time winning. If Danielle added 10 points, and James had won 7 points, and Will won 5 and Boogie won 3, it means that Janelle would only need 11 points to win veto. Yes it also means Janelle has fewer chances to win points, but with only ten questions to answer, I would rather not dilute the pool of points available for me to win.
Nobody was happy with what they had to give up, and yes it sucks to sleep on cots and shower with no hot water, but I can’t imagine what made James say that they are treated worse than prisoners. It’s not like he is being kept up at night with the sound of people scraping their toothbrushes against the wall. Danielle did have to live in solitary, but 24 hours doesn’t really seem like it’s that awful. She is already cut off from the outside world, her bed is going to be a cot so sleeping on the floor doesn’t seem so bad, and she is so pissed at her alliance, she probably didn’t want to talk to people anyway!
While Danielle was in solitary, Will and Boogie decided that they would use it as a chance to sway the votes their way. Will and Boogie, taking a page from the Season Six Big Brother strategy guide, decided that maybe it wasn’t so good to break up season six because if Janelle was gone, it would make Chilltown the strongest alliance in the house, and therefore they would be big targets. Therefore, it would be a better idea for them to…get rid of floaters!
Their idea was to blame Marcellas for taking the plasma television and the money, and let things go from there. Janelle is up for it because A) it means her alliance would still be intact and B) she wanted to get back at Marcellas, who she said was greedy. Again, I say it is better that Marcellas didn’t take points away from Janelle, allowing her to win the veto. In either circumstance (Marcellas doesn’t play for veto, or Marcellas plays and doesn’t use it on Janelle), she learns that Marcellas isn’t on her side; so having him play for himself is not horrible. Considering a few moments earlier she caught James off guard when she asked why he didn’t play hard to win the veto, which showed some great thinking on her part, it hurts to see her get fooled so easily by Will’s intentions.
Will then begins to work on James, once again lying about what Marcellas won, and saying that Chilltown offers them a truce for one week if they put up Marcellas. In return, they all agree to put up Chicken George next week. James is sort of skeptical, but when he asks Howie if they can trust him, Howie says “yeah”. Now, why would James ask Howie if they should trust him? Just a couple of days earlier, James himself duped Howie into believing that James and Danielle weren’t allies. I hate to use the chess analogy again, but if James just watched Howie lose a game of Chess, would he then ask Howie for help in his next move? Of course not!
But the worst part about this whole “truce” is that Will and Boogie have not proven they are able to win a HoH competition. Their whole idea of a truce is to hope Season Six wins HoH, and then is stupid enough to keep their word with Chilltown, even though Chilltown would never do the same for them. This whole truce strategy is what got the Season Six alliance into their current predicament in the first place. Kaysar made a deal with Chilltown and got rid of a floater. Janelle put up a floater for Chilltown, and it only got her alliance pissed at her. James was so pissed that Janelle made a deal with Chilltown, and now contemplates one of his own?
Admittedly, Janelle and Kaysar have excuses because it is their asses on the block, but why would James make a deal to save Kaysar? He says he doesn’t want Kaysar to take the fall for Janelle’s mistake, but if you can’t take out Janelle, the best thing to do is get rid of one of her allies! Why take out Marcellas, who wants to take out the person you want to take out, and keep a person who wants to keep the person that you want to take out? It’s like if James was a member of a wrestling tag team and he hit himself in the steel chair and then threw his partner into the Spanish announcer’s table. Why DO THE DIRTY WORK FOR THE OTHER TEAM?
Is it me or does Chicken George look like what Jon Daly will become in about ten years?
Hey will, make sure to save some hair grease for Antonio Banderas
The Big Brother margarita party was kind of lame. Mike said that it felt like he was in Mexico, but I feel the same thing anytime I am east of Western Ave. With Danielle in solitary and Erika not able to enjoy the margaritas because she was on slop (and not wanting to head outside because she couldn’t bear the thought of enjoying herself while Danielle was prisoner), it turned into a big sausage-fest. Sure Janelle looks cute in her black evening gown (she has been filling things out REALLY well lately, not that I am going to complain), but what is exciting about seeing all the dudes hit on Janelle? And to tell you the truth, the whole house is turning into a big sausage-fest. It was bad enough that you knew the hookups would be at a minimum with all these veterans, but I hope the producers do something to keep some of the girls around longer, because if the last two weeks of the show is filled with a bunch of guys shaving each other and jerking off in a tool shed, I assure you the ratings are going to go down.
James got his call from Sarah, and he did they had their nice reunion. James and Sarah have this thing where they cross fingers to show that they love each other, and James has been crossing his fingers a lot on the show so Sarah could see. I am sure it was great to hear his voice, but why would James end the call with “I’ll see you soon”? Isn’t that tempting fate a little too much? Maybe they should treat these things like theater performers, but instead of saying the opposite of good luck (break a leg), they would say the opposite of “see you soon” or in other words, “Go fuck yourself”.
When it was time for Danielle to come out of solitary, the house began to cheer her on. She did her time really well. She had tears, probably over the thought that she could have talked to her kids, but overall, she used that time to go over all the scenarios, but having been out of the house for 24 hours, she needed to get caught up.
Danielle was not exactly happy with her alliance after the veto competition, so she had no idea why people were all of a sudden gunning to take out Marcellas. When Mike Boogie told her the amnesty plan, Danielle could only laugh and asked Erika to join her in the HoH room. If Season Six wanted amnesty, they should have sent Kaysar, because it is his ass on the line, not Mike Boogie. Danielle realized after the veto that she is not tight enough with her alliance to begin doing favors for them. She wants to make a decision that is going to benefit her first, not something that would help Boogie and Will.
Erika is only with Danielle long enough to hear her complain about how stupid her alliance is, because James walks in and wants a few minutes alone. James had a plate full of Mexican food, which Danielle appreciated because she probably hadn’t eaten in solitary, but it wasn’t enough to save him from the guilt trip she put on him about the phone call.
James main mission in going to Danielle was to sell her on the idea of putting up Marcellas, blaming him for playing for himself and being greedy in the veto competition, and for telling Janelle he was going to save her and then lied to her by playing for himself. Again, this is the dumbest idea, and the reasons to do it are even more asinine. How can James blame Marcellas for being greedy? Even if he can trust Will and Boogie, James gave up points himself, so saying that Marcellas was greedy is being hypocritical. Also, why should James care if Marcellas lied to Janelle? Wasn’t the whole purpose of the game to get Janelle out of the competition? Wasn’t it GOOD for you that Marcellas lied, especially since he did it without you having to make a deal with him? If James wants to nominate Marcellas because he lied to Janelle, is he telling us that he would have been happier if Marcellas didn’t lie to Janelle? What if Marcellas won veto and used it on Janelle? Would that satisfy James? What more could they have asked for Marcellas than to help them take out the woman that James said he wanted to get rid of? AM I THE ONLY ONE GOING CRAZY AT THIS LOGIC??!!
Again, I think that James picked the wrong week to ask Danielle to make a sacrifice. After watching her alliance do nothing to help her, Danielle wasn’t going to be swayed. For some reason, James still believes the best-case scenario is to put up Marcellas up, and the worst-case scenario is putting up Kaysar. Seriously James, the enemy of your enemy is your friend, dumbass.
Janelle used the Power of Veto on herself, although she said she was worried about it because Kaysar would be back-doored. If there is anything more annoying than the gratuitous use of “thrown under the bus” (which Danielle used to describe the strategy to take out Marcellas), it is the houseguests using the term “backdoor” more often than the people on a movie set in Van Nuys. If Janelle is using the veto on herself, it means that Kaysar can’t be back-doored. If they wanted to backdoor Kaysar, everybody would have fought for the veto and used it. The entire plan was to get rid of Janelle, and if she hadn’t won, the veto never would have been used. Therefore, NO BACKDOOR.
When it came time for Danielle to choose the replacement, the producers wanted for us to believe that Howie would be picked because Danielle said his name first, but after a pause said she promised that he would be safe for this week and she kept her promise. After a whole episode and not having Howie’s name mentioned once as a nominee, I’m not sure why they thought we would fall for this. Danielle did the right thing and nominated Kaysar.
Danielle’s decision was easy. The Legion of Doom did not help her, so she had to protect herself first, and weakening season six is the smart play. As for the Legion of Doom, James was worried that they failed their first goal, which was to get rid of Janelle, and they failed the first test of their relationship. The second test would be to see if he was kept in the house, and the third test would be to get Janelle next week, which by the way was made much easier by keeping Marcellas off the block, you moron.
Janelle and Kaysar vowed revenge, but I don’t know what they can do. Kaysar also complained of getting back-doored, but again, how can he complain about being back-doored when it was his own alliance member that vetoed herself off to get nominated? Get over it Kaysar, you were not back-doored. You were just outsmarted by your stupid “Keep Chilltown in the house so the floaters go after them” strategy. Imagine that, Chilltown is in the house and Season Six is still the target. And even if he was back-doored, Kaysar has been a coward in the game, and I’m not going to weep if he gets the coward’s exit.
Who will be voted out?
Kaysar has a small chance, but Danielle has Marcellas, Erika, and Chicken George, and most likely Will and Boogie. Yes, you could say that they would vote James to leave and then team up with the rest of Season six, but their whole strategy is to keep the attention away from them. With Danielle’s move, Season Six is going to go after her. Getting rid of James is not going to change that very much, and if they do get rid of James, it would mean that they would have double-crossed the Legion of Doom, which would make them big targets for the floaters.
This was one of the best episodes of the season. Of course Danielle’s little run means nothing if she is voted out next week, but if another floater can win HoH, this game is going to be REALLY good for the last six weeks.
What did you think of this episode? Did Danielle make the right decision putting up Kaysar? Will Kaysar or James go home?

Wow. She pulled it off. And Danielle learned a hard lesson. And Kaysar’s going to be a three-time loser. And Will reigns supreme.
When the veto competition was revealed, Boogie complained that he was “claustrophobic like crazy” and would never be able to stand it if he were closed in. Gee, he wasn’t worried about claustrophobia when he was in that patio box a few weeks ago…
J-unit, I share your frustration in trying to figure out WTF these people are thinking. All I know is that even after all they have done to screw up others, Chilltown continues to be able to influence thinking by being oh-so-sincere in their advice.
I think Kaysar’s the one to be voted out, because Will will continue to amaze and convince the others that K is a mastermind, in which case we should all face West and bow to the Evil Doctor. On the other hand, knowing that K is a tool may induce Will to keep him around.
Janelle’s good for at least another week, natch, but no chance at getting the veto next go-round because she gave it up. So, danger ahead for the polyester-haired one.Lisping James is not long for the house. Damn, it IS unfathomable!
JameSkank praying in the dr that Janey goes home looked like the ‘weave-bitch’ praying on Flavor of Love…
Booger’s ‘Like A Beast’ t-shirt…what like a beast Booger? Your breath? Your IQ? Your Flying Monkey wings?
Janey to Danielle about screwing up her ‘Perfect Plan’ — “oops too bad so sad”
Will is so wonderfully evil ~
hb
don’t forget, james has this year’s new twist: the ability to nullify one vote. if he’s smart, he’ll pick janelle, knowing that she’d vote to evict him and keep kaysar.
basically, kaysar needs chilltown. if they vote to keep james, kaysar is out. if they stick with what they’ve done historically and spilt their votes, then it’s a tie and danielle breaks it, and kaysar is out. i think he can get marcellas’ vote by filling him in on james trying to get him nominated, but if kaysar doesn’t get chilltown, then it’s “bye bye bitches” for him.
can we all just colectively agree that kaysar is a horrible player? I cant beleive I bought all those “Save Kaysar” buttons…
Dr. Will is awesome as ever.
One of the best episodes of the season, and I missed it because the powers that be at the CBS affiliate in Baltimore decided that we’d much rather watch the Orioles. Thanks for the timely recap! I really needed it this time.
Even if you hate Will, you’ve got to love Will !
James is a total moron. How many times have we seen someone put up as a pawn on this show only to go home the same week ? I never understand this strategy when you cant anticipate what will happen in the veto competition, which could change everything.
Doesn’t Danielle’s strategy of not doing what’s best for the house but for herself (nominating Kaysar instead of Marcellas) the same as Janelle’s move of nominating Diane instead of Will.
Like Will said, people who are cold-hearted do better in the game. Clearly, Kaysar has failed to see (or doesn’t want to believe) that James is crumbling their once dominate alliance. As much as I hate to say this, Kaysar really hasn’t lived up to his reputation as the brilliant strategist and is currently a liability for Janie and Howie. The only consolation when Kaysar is evicted would be that Janelle will be able to see through James’ deceit and lies.
And I’d like to point out Janelle spared us of another incredibly stupid move by Kaysar or Howie: that if Kaysar/Howie played and won the veto, there was a strong possibility (~99%) that they would NOT use the veto on to save her, thus leaving us with two oblivious Sovs as sitting ducks- unable to save themselves in the future.
Random aside: didn’t the Veto ceremony seem to be over-editted with dramatic pauses at every breath…
–
As for alliances, let me see if I have this right:
Chilltown = Will, Boogie
SOV (formerly) = Janelle, Kaysar, Howie
Legion of Doom = Danielle, James (NOT Will, Boogie)
Float Herd = Danielle, Marcellas, Erika, (and maybe George and James)
People who deserve to win: Janelle, Will, Boogie, Danielle, Howie, James
Coattail riders (AKA the Ambers):
Marcellas, George, Erika
I was glad to see Janelle win the veto and extremely disturbed by the whole met-er-o sexual shaving thing.
You know, Will is upfront about his lies. (Well, upfront with the Diary Room.)
James, Danielle, Marcellas? (ESPECIALLY James & Danielle??) They’re the biggest hypocrites I ever met! And they think they’re so full of integrity.
It drives me batty!
How did Janelle manage to avoid the camel toe? LOL
Retraction muscles.
Good episode. Didn’t like how they never aired Kayser telling Janelle he wouldn’t use the veto on her if he won it which led to her choosing Marci.
How do you spell Kaysar? C A M E L T O E ie pussy.
Vote him off please. The guy has no backbone or loyalty. LOVED how Danielle broke him down in the HOH room for S6′s stupid nominations. Never aired but should have been. The guy was hummina and hummina and throwing out all type of stupid excuses like a berated child. GO DANIELLE.
I love the Six Million Dollar Meteorologist. Howie is so funny!
Picture ChillTown in the final four. Not because of Janel but because of Kaysar and James.

knowing that james gets to nullify a vote, the most probable person to vote him off is janelle.
BUT!
if janelle is indeed brilliant. she would know this. and it wouldnt be an advantage to james because if janelle decided (instead) to vote for kaysar because she knows james would nullify her vote… then james gets screwed.
is it just me or shouldn’t danielle have put will up for eviction once janelle took herself off the block?
after how pissed she was that everyone sucked at the POV competition, not only would putting up will have been awesomely wicked (or wickedly awesome)since they’re supposed to be aligned, but think about it: with kaysar, howie, erika, george, marcellas and janelle voting for james, will would only have boogie’s vote to stay in.
even if janelle split with seasix, that would still be 5 to 2 to keep james in.-not to mention that he could nullify janey’s vote anyway since she’s so flaky.
what was dani thinking?!?
you gotta love will pinning the whole 5 grand thing on marcellas. i almost want him to stay around to keep the show interesting, but dani should have known better than to let him get by this week.
i think it’s gonna come back to bite her.
VOTE JAMES OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not because I like Kaysar, but because James is an idiot.
Please explain how Janelle betrayed the alliance by putting up Diane? James has at least eleventeen alliances so isn’t he the one who has betrayed it? In his own quite eloquent words, “DUMBASS”!!!!
If James does go home this week, it is his own damn fault. Like Danielle said, why waste points on a Margarita party and a phonecall? James thinks he is such a smart, wily, cunning strategist. If he wasted those points on prizes while he was on the block, who did he expect to win the PoV and save his sorry self?
I fully understand the “Evict Floaters” strategy. The SeaSix alliance will vote as a block. ChillTown will vote together. The floaters’ votes are changeable. Get rid of them because you never know which way their votes will go. Case in point is Marcellas. For several weeks he voted with BB6, then all of a sudden he turns and voted against them. The floaters are unpredictable. Vote them out.
As far as Danielle… I never saw her season. I had heard about her, though, and high hopes for her as a player. Seeing her the past week has been like chewing tinfoil. In other words, she is a pain in my BB-luvvin’ arse. Cry me a river, Danielle.
As for Will & Boogie… their little DR skit this week was actually pretty hilarious. Boogie: “Nah, I didn’t win PoV. All I got was a plasma TV and a trip for 2 to Aruba.” *Sad Sigh* That IS funny! As Will said, they don’t care who wins PoV as long as they are safe.
J-Unit: How can you say Janelle has gained weight? Seriously. Between Dani & James bashing her for her “fat ass” and you saying she is BIG, I wonder if I need new glasses. I think Janelle is as smoking hot as ever. And now she is also gonna kick Danielle & James right where it hurts: square in their game play!
Ha ha ha hahahahahahahaaaa!!!
What happened to the coup d’etat that they were flagging up last week?
Well, so far so good, I knew Janey would win veto, and frankly, isn’t it just a little suspicious that they had a contest of adding and subtracting points, where no one could watch or see each other . . . like the producers weren’t in the board room saying, okay, Janelle buzzed, give her the points. Oh, looks like Dani and janey both buzzed for solitary, let’s give it to Dani, so Janey can flirt w/ the guys at the margarita party . . . etc, etc . . . is it me!?
I don’t care, as the producers are protecting my best interests, and trying to keep my girl in (I might say they’d do the same for Will) didn’t someone suggest they only put men’s chips in the velvet bag for the CG Veto comp, so the girls wouldn’t have to shave their heads.
I can’t believe everyone thinks K is going, yes, he’s a total, blank useless tool, but almost everyone was questioning James, even Dani, she can easily sweep into Sea-six with a simple deal with K and J (and Howie) to replace James. though I imagine she wouldn’t want to.
I really think CT is playing them all, and it’s a fun aspect–getting all the prizes, I truly think they had nooooo intention of voting out Janelle, like will said, makes it easier if she wins.
Lastly, OMG! was that the lamest phone call, hello, you threw the competition for that–wasn’t the whole reason he was there was to win, and he gave it up for that . . . . very fishy!
James is lispy toast–though I wouldn’t care if K went either, (can I say poop shute instead of back door!?) ok then, poop shute or not!
I like James’ lisp. It’s cute.
Honsetly,I don’t know how I feel about anyone anymore (except for Will and Booger, I really, really just don’t like those two!). And I wonder how I would feel about the contestants had I not already known them from before.
This show is giving me an ulcer and I can’t stop myself from watching!!
Question: Do you think Howie saved Chicken Hooter’s hair to sell on eBay like he did with Kaysar’s?
Dear lord! I would NEVER want most of you people on my alliance, seeing how you’ve completely turned on S6.
Kaysar’s anti-floater strategy is a bad one? Let’s see. Who has actively campaigned against S6?
Alison, Danielle, Diane, Marcellas. Yep, those floaters are really gunning for Chilltown.
J Unit you are officially out of your mind with loathing for Kaysar. It is hardly most likely that Will and Boogie would keep James. They want to screw will alliances as much as possible. And Kaysar will always be a bigger target than James. In any case, James has already shown that he’s a wild card and CT prefers to deal with people whose actions they can predict.
As for Kaysar being “overrated.” When James gets voted off this week, we’ll see that what Kaysar meant by “he’d never take that deal” was “he’d never be so stupid as to risk eviction when his safety depends on Will and Boogie being honest.” Kaysar is only wrong is assuming that James isn’t that stupid. If by “overrated” you mean “frighteningly aware of how full of crap the rest of the house is” then I agree.
“sniff” sparky, I feel so rejected . . . just kidding–I’m sure I’d suck at this game, so I wouldn’t align with me either.
I guess I only like S6 coz they’ve got Janey. It was good to see her back to her wily suspicions, sniffing out the lispy rat.
The whole Kaysar situation reminds me of how everyone turned on Stephanie when they brought her back on Survivor–I hope Janey can hang in there and keep earning our love!
Oh, and for the first time I thought Boogie was hilarious, going after as many prizes as possible during Veto. They must have let him rehearse his “does the BB house have a chimney” line because for once the joke made sense. As long as his nonsense saves Janey, I’m all for it.
ps sorry sweet Blondie, don’t mean to keep knocking the “cute” lispy one, it just fits so well . . .
Can someone please explain the Boogie masturbation in the shed joke? Did I miss something? Was it from the live feeds? What happened to getting reviews from the live feeds?
Awesome recap, J Unit.
thanks for the links, America’s Next Top Fan, that six million dollar thing was rich, esp the shorts popping over the graphics!!! the only thing I missed was the light saber in his hand during the last running sequence! ; )
you nailed it, Vidle, it was on the live feeds, and the claustrophobic Boogie layed in the towel box and had his way with himself. I wouldn’t look for it though, ew!
I too ama a fan of James. Subgenre (#15), it’s very clear how Janelle betrayed the alliance. She wanted James to put Jase in CG’s place when CG won POV. James didn’t want to. She insisted. He said he would agree for the good of the alliance if she would agree to put up CT the next week. SHE AGREED. Then she went back on that promise and put up Diane and Ericka (when compared to CT are two truly non-threatening players). She targeted Diane for completely personal reasons and showed NOOO loyalty to her alliance. James was rightly pissed and said screw it.
juddfan, no hard feelings! I say, love janey, love her alliance. she doesn’t have a chance if they don’t stick around.
and I agree with you regarding producer behind-the-scenes shenanigans. On the CBS site we see not only that Kaysar is by far the most popular player, but that he gets more popular every week. And Janey is always #2. So the producers are going to do whatever they can to keep those two around.
The only thing that Janelle caould have done differently is to secure more promises before she nominated Diane.
Personally James bugs me because he whines about how dumb Janelle was but fails to understand had she put up Will, then S6 would still have been on the block. I would consider it smart gameplay if he only said it around the other floaters but he seems to believe it which just makes him dumb.
I’ll have to check that out, sparky, I’ve not been to their site yet . . .
But think how fun it will be if Kaysar gets evicted, and then next week there’s an America’s Choice and we can vote him back in again! Clearly the only thing that Kaysar can control is our dumb ass votes.
Subgenre-
I said the exact thing to my coworker earlier today. WHY DOES EVERYONE KEEP CALLING JANELLE FAT?? I recognize that Hollywood seems to think the Nicole Richie’s and Kate Bosworth’s of the world look great, but I thought the rest of us could agree that a sandwich every once in a while was a good thing. I think Janelle is smoking hot and I’ve got a girl crush on her for the second summer in a row!
and I’ve got a gay boy girl crush . . . what a woman!
“Well, so far so good, I knew Janey would win veto, and frankly, isn’t it just a little suspicious that they had a contest of adding and subtracting points, where no one could watch or see each other . . . like the producers weren’t in the board room saying, okay, Janelle buzzed, give her the points. Oh, looks like Dani and janey both buzzed for solitary, let’s give it to Dani, so Janey can flirt w/ the guys at the margarita party . . . etc, etc . . . is it me!?”
People knew what points that got and look bad to see their points so it’s hard for the producers to cheat that competition.
juddfan, you make a good point re: the possibility of a producer fix to give janelle the veto comp. of course, she had to buzz in in the first place, but they could easily have made sure she got the things she went for.
as for boogie and will munching up all the sweet prizes: serves you right for trusting chill-town, danielle. james should have tried harder to win, but if he’s confident enough to stay on the block, let him. i hope by some act of god (or dr. will) that it’s james walking out to interface with the chenbot on thursday, but that’s not likely. barring some masterful manipulation on will’s part, kaysar can pick up 4 votes max (howie, janelle, will, boogie), and james has the power to cancel an eviction vote from the egg after the spider web comp, which would force a tie, giving danielle the deciding vote.
but really–who’s more fun to watch? i’m starting to hate james, but he keeps it interesting. kaysar, on the other hand, has been about as interesting to watch as flies swarming around a freshly-layed dog turd this summer. kaysar is probably the house’s best all-around human being, and he’s a strong ally and confidant to janelle, but he hasn’t brought much to the table this year.
james, on the other hand, is clearly feeling a little insecure next to dr. will, who is everything james would like to think of himself as being: justifiably confident, smarter than everyone else in the house, accomplished professionally, attractive to women, a born performer who has the rare knack for being a likable villain, and gifted at the art of manipulation. sure, dr. will is an arrogant prick, but let’s face it: the dude’s living la dolce vita. he’s got plenty to feel good about. james has a hard time playing mr. superior with will around, and since will’s clearly dominating the game, james is competing for respect and air-time by ‘shaking up the house’ and turning on his alliance. james is like a kid who gets a brand new playstation and invites over a friend who already has a playstation, gamecube, and x-box and is bored to tears with all three but still kicks the other kid’s ass in mario kart with one hand while talking to his girlfriend on his cell-phone.
give it up, james. you can’t compete with dr. evil.
Totally forgot to mention that James is really in a good position since he can nullify a vote. I am not sure if he has to use it this week, but I think it makes him safe. Even if Will and Boogie doublecross him, Kaysar needs four votes for James in order to stay, and James can cancel one out by nullifying Janie’s vote. Even if Janelle were to vote the other way and James essentially cancelled out a vote to keep him in the house, it’s still just as good if the vote doesn’t help Kaysar. That would make the voting tied, and Danielle is the tiebreaker, sending Kaysar home. We might disagree with how loyal George, Erika, and Marcellas are to Danielle, but I think that they will be loyal to one of their own who didn’t cave into the “get rid of the floater” pressure.
subg and scorpiella,
I don’t think I called Janelle fat. I said I think she is really filling out her clothes, simply meaning that all of her clothes are super-tight compared to the beginning of the season. She wears tight clothes anyway, and with her build she will never be stick thin (and I’m not saying I want her that way), but I would guess she has gained ten pounds since the season, which anybody can tell you is a lot and they would notice. She is not fat at all though, she just doesn’t have the petite build that Alison or Diane have. Personally, I like her just the way she is.
I agree with J Unit about Will and Boogie voting to keep Kaysar in the house. The only way I can see it not turning into a tie using James’ nullify the vote thing is by getting Marcellas to vote to keep Kaysar, which they can do if Kaysar pushes the fact that James was working to get Marcellas up in Janelle’s place. It’s possible, and I’m hoping he’ll do it, but seeing how Kaysar’s been playing my hopes aren’t too high. I would love to see James go, though Kaysar has been playing like a wimp, James is too whiny and irritating and I hate how he thinks hes some huge mastermind.
I laughed out loud during the HOH competition when everyone other than Danielle and Janelle started racking up prizes. Just ANOTHER reason why no one should trust CT to do anything they say they’ll do. But like it’s been said before, Will knows how to play the game and how to get people to do what he wants.
i’m with you on the she’s just right, J-unit–thanks for the recap as always!!!
I really hope Marci finds out about getting thrown under (I can’t say Sally . . . ) how bout a falling piano, so he is enraged and goes after James, taking the floaters with him in his mission. I don’t see the feeds, but more and more, I bet there’s a ton going on we don’t see. I already thought this last episode was a foreshadowing of James leaving. (I hope!!!!)
and I say this in light of all the misdirection with Diane’s eviction–frickin’ all of ‘em voted her out–even James!?
And Mitza, I’m fine if it’s not slanted, all I’m saying is those buzzers were probably close if not on top of each other, so they could assign the winner points after the buzzes were in. They never did say if Janelle went for the solitary, but I gotta guess she did, since she left no stone of cruelty unturned–and also got away with it–couldn’t believe they were toasting her!
I love Kaysar, but he looks like he doesn’t care at all about actually playing this game. He’s always moping around, not involved enough to see James is backstabbing all of them, and didn’t promise Janelle to take her off. He’s really disappointing me and I feel like I have to move my support to the Will/Janelle/Howie camp.
Alright I admit I’m a strange one. On that note I searched for Boogie’s self-intimate moment. It’s not his self-help that is scary….it’s what happens after. Seriously….oh yeah..and here is the url to Howie’s moment in the “Jack Shack”. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0ayErxYbRs&NR
I now have proof masturbation makes you blind.
Conspiracy Theories…
Okay, after seeing that Veto Competition, how many others feel the producers saved Janelle’s sorry ass. I mean, that challenge was one where we couldn’t actually see who buzzed in first. How do we know that Dani didn’t beat Janelle to the buzzer? If it had been some other competition, like answering questions or something physical, we could actually see who won or came in first. This one, we had to trust the producers to determine the winners.
Anyone else see what I am saying?
Howie isn’t very creative, and this whole “Big Boy” character that he has going is really starting to become stupid.
J-Unit… STARTING? I hate that juvenile dumb fuck.
Danielle — I hate to break it to you but while you were pissing in a bucket your fellow Legion of Doomers were buying everything they could get their hands on…
(throwing my head back and laughing!)

Kaysar’s “a strong ally and confidant to janelle.”
Umm, no he’s not. Not only did he refuse the help Janey with the veto competition but he sat and listened to James call her all type of bitches and ho’s in a rant that went on for an hour and a half. James even said it was time they got rid of Janelle. Later that day Janey asked Kaysar if he thought James changed and if she could still trust him. Guess what Kaysar said? She should still trust him. WTF
Why this stuff isn’t making it to the show is beyond me. The producers script seems to have Kaysar as the loyal good guy and Janey as the backstabbing bitch when it’s actually the other way around.
exlogcabin #41
I totally agree. Here’s my take on it. James, Kaysar and Will appear to be in on how the producers want the game played. Meaning they go into the DR and get their instructions on who to nominate or vote out. They then try to convince (brainwash) their teams to vote accordingly. It’s too complicated to go into it about the feeds but overall Will has said several times that “they” tell him what to say in the DR and he just repeats it. Howie and Janelle has discussed how BB Producers keep trying to persuade them to vote certain ways and in Janelle’s case, nominate people during their DR interviews. I think Janelle went against the grain of the script with her nominations which pissed off James. It also explains why Kaysar has been so depressed since his HOH nominations. Especially since he has this whole upstanding citizen reputation to protect.
Danielle seems to be getting the hint that something is going on with James, Kaysar and Will. Because S6′s nominations made no logical sense and now, out of the blue, they all want to vote off Marcellas, another illogical move. Some of this has aired but not enough to give you an idea on how deep her suspicions run.
For the Marcellas bashers out there. Yeah, he threw Janey under the Sally Struthers but that was because she was following suit on the stupid S6 nominations. I think he knows what’s going on and is gunning for S6 hard.
Maybe it’s a pre-game alliance between James, Kaysar and Will which would really throw the game for a loop. Or maybe it is the producers feeding them instructions.
If the producers really wanted to fix it for Kaysar to stay this week, they’d do the ‘twist” and give him the win. I still want James to go. He’s spewing too many underserved nasty comments about Janelle. Hopefully evil Will can figure out a way to manipulate this happening. George might be convinced b/c he WAS pissed off at James for nominating him. K, J, and H should envelop him in the S6 folds as a replacemnt for James if he’ll vote with them.
Happy Birthday on Thursday, Kaysar.
Wow… this show is starting to become free gay porn.
Sweet.
Tony and Jack- I always enjoy your analysis.
I think Janelle looks great, and F*** James for saying she’s a fat shit. Go eat some custard lisp boy.
While I have not broken down and subscribed to the feeds (yet) this year, I will admit to reading the daily update on another site. Having watched the feeds in previous years, it is clear that the producers continue to edit it their way, when there is much more going on.
Will is awesome.
Friggin BB producers deserve every low rating they are getting. When they engage in Chenanigans so blatantly (CG POV, Janelle POV) and fail to show any of the very real (and interesting) ugliness, I say fie on them!
I cannot stand to listen to Damni. She is correct to insist that this week is a “numbers” thing. A BB6 needs to go. Fair enough and good for her. But, when the discussion turns to why she wants James over Kaysar, the BB house cannot contain all the excrement leaving her mouth.
What I love is the complete and total lack of critical thinking by every player in the house, except Will. Let’s take a look-see:
Who’s lied and gone back on his word prety much without fail the entire game? Um, I think that would be… Dr. Will.
Whose game strategy relies heavily on deflecting other players from himself & his alliance? Boogie? No, he has no strategy. It’s Dr. Will.
Who has a shirt that TELLS everyone in the house that he is lying to them? Hmmm (visualize head scratching and quizzical expression here)… I’m pretty sure that’s none other than our favorite Dr. Will.
And yet, who does everyone believe unconditionally, every time he opens his smug, forked-tongue-wagging mouth? The inimitable, evil Dr. Will. Jackasses. They deserve Marcellas’ wrath, and I’m gonna go on record saying I think Will deserves to win. Even though his plan failed (props to Danielle for having a spine — I hope she comes in second), the waves he made in the big brother pond were just masterful. I’d turn to Christian Science if he was my doctor, but I’m just pickled that he’s on my tube. Subgenre, I’m with you — I think the lovefests in the diary room are a riot, and I’m just breathless with anticipation for what the good doctor’s gonna do on Thursday.
Speaking of lovefests and being pickled, I gotta comment on the jack shack. OMG… it is SO hilarious — if you haven’t hit the link, you gotta. Is it gross? Sure. Will you feel a litte dirty watching? You bet. But really, people, how many weeks do you expect someone to live in a house with NO privacy and not wanna blow their wad? At least Howie had the good sense to remove his mic first. I think the part I enjoyed the most was the loving care with which he prepared his little love nest. I can’t help wondering if he exerts so much effort before he makes love with someone other than his lotion bottle? And nothing, I mean NOTHING, tops watching a grown man cram himself into a tiny wooden box so he can whack off on television. Call me sick — I loved it.
p.s. I LOVE the recap & everyone’s comments… Lots of strategy angles I never thought of. I’m so glad *sniff* that I’ve found you, *hiccup* my reality addicted comrades *dab at tears* – How did I make it all these years without you? *desperate clawing at kleenex box*
zoo keeper…you took the words right out of my mouth…
*desperate Erika-style crying*
I’ll be the first to admit that if I were locked in a house with the likes of Janey and Erika for an entire summer with no hope of getting any, I would probably need to have my mail forwarded to the Jack Shack. Zoo Keeper, I agree that Howie’s level of preparation was hilarious, even remembering a ziploc to neatly dispose of his jizzrag.
I just wasted about an hour looking at live feed tapes on You Tube. That site is even more dangerous than this one as far as potential time wasting, because literally every second there is something new to look at.
Janelle did one smart thing this week: ask James why he gave up points for a stupid margarita party. However, she was back to being stupid for believing James’ excuse.
I thought that James was smart to ask Howie’s opinion if they should trust CT. James is still trying to convince Seasix that he’s still with them…what better way then pretend to not trust CT?
Will and Boogie’s move to blame everything on Marcellas was hilarious. It’s amazing how willing everyone is to believe everything they say. No one thought to ask Marcellas if this is true.
I hope it’s Kaysar that goes this week. I think they only way they’ll turn on James is if Marcellas finds out James was campaigning for him to go up, and he tries to get the votes to out him out of spite.
Big kudos to Danielle for putting up Kaysar and not caving to pressure!
Janelle isn’t the only one who doesn’t get James’s veto comp behavior. I don’t either. The whole point of his being nominated was so he could win the veto. Why didn’t he even try? Meanwhile he gets the phone call while Danielle is in solitary. If she’s still loyal to him after that episode she really is playing by the numbers and not with her emotions.
You stole the words right out of my mouth, lickitysplit. How could anyone just accept Chill Town’s word without even thinking of asking Marcellas if their accusations were true? Even if they hadn’t watched Season 2, Dr. Will’s reputation precedes him. How anyone could trust the word Chill Town blows my mind.
I thought it was dumb for Danielle to rely on others to steal the win from Janelle during the veto competition. I’ll admit it, if I wasn’t on the block and I was participating in a competition where I could win fabulous prizes like that (and to top it off, nobody could see who won what), screw my alliance and the veto, I’m going for those prizes! Seriously, who wouldn’t? Once Danielle saw what the competition was going to be like and what it encompassed, she should’ve just gave it up as a lost cause right from the start and tried to at least win that phone call for herself. If there’s one thing Danielle needs to learn, it’s that people are selfish.
It’ll be interesting to see how the votes pan out on Thursday. I’m a bit curious to see how Chicken George will vote. Does he vote against James for trying to get him out of the house or does he stick with Danielle and vote against Kaysar? It’s so funny how he was everyone’s number one target a few weeks ago but now he’s silently faded back into the shadows again.
Now I have “The Seed (2.0)” stuck in my head!
