The Ultimate Betrayal

Big Brother

By admin | Wednesday, August 16, 2006 | 10:40 am | 40 Comments

bbas8-15-06 This season of Big Brother has really been difficult for all but the most hard core of fans; there is even speculation that CBS will end the season earlier than expected because ratings have not been what they expected. I still think that Big Brother All Stars was a great idea. Where CBS went wrong was putting so many people in from seasons five and six, and having so many people from Los Angeles. They were great seasons with lots of drama, but what we were looking for is people to form new alliances. I love LA, but there is just too much conflict of interest and while secret partners may have worked last year, the producers knew all about them.

That being said, I still love this season, and if you have given up watching because of some reason or another, remember that you’ll always have the TVgasm recaps to keep you entertained, and the TVgasm Forums to feed your discussion every day. Last night was going to be a big test for Chilltown and Legion of Doom. How do you keep Erika AND Danielle in the game without bringing too much attention to yourself? Let’s find out.Nobody was really surprised at the nominations. Some people have complained that I have turned on Janey this season or that I need to calm down with my commentary. Calm down? This is TVgasm! I practically pee myself with joy at the sight of Julie Chen every Thursday night. Obviously I am a little too into this show for my own good, but I have at least weaned myself off of the live feeds. Speaking of which, you can now get the last month or so of the live feeds for $14.99. Just give up US Weekly for a month and you’re golden!

Like I said, I have been hard on Janelle, but I have to call it like I see it. The truth is that I am going to call every single nomination stupid unless their goal is to get rid of Chilltown. Therefore, I have to dislike Janelle’s nominations. I can forgive her for going after Danielle, because Danielle did go on the attack, but so much of Janey’s other reasoning is just plain stupid. I am not going to fall for her excuses about “scumbag” players like Erika (Janelle’s words, not mine) while she apparently has no problem confiding in Dr. Will.

I love the way Dr. Will is playing the game, because he seems to be playing with everybody’s minds just for his own amusement, but if Janelle is getting mad at people like Erika for “floating behind season six and letting us do their dirty work”, shouldn’t she be mad first at Dr. Will? Sure Will and Boogie offer their “protection”, but so far they only have one fixed Veto competition win to show for all of their efforts. About the only thing Boogie and Will can offer somebody is the chance not to be whitest person in the room.

If there is anything that I can enjoy about Janelle’s nominations is that it seems to have inspired a lot of people to come out from hiding, particularly Erika. I am never one for whiny people who cry a lot, and that is just about the only thing you get from Erika for most of the season. She’s been so depressed and sickly looking that I haven’t even been able to enjoy looking at her boobs. THAT, my friends, is a real tragedy. And although it was Erika and Danielle on the block, Marcellas realized that the talk Janelle gave about people who hang out in her HoH room that would stab her in the back when they get the chance was directed at him. That makes TWO drama queens in the house and that is better for everybody.

However, the real drama in the house is the revelation of the Mike Boogie and Erika romance. What can I say? Seeing them kiss was worse than seeing a hot girl in he bikini bottoms at the beach, checking out her ass, and realizing there’s a fruit bowl. There is not enough cinnamon gum in the world to get that taste out of your mouth, just ask Ace Ventura. For the record, their relationship might kill the thought of All Star reality competitions for years to come. I cannot believe that the producers were so duped by this, but it’s even worse to think that the producers knew about this and still let Mike Boogie into the house (he was a producer’s choice).

If the though of Erika kissing Mike Boogie makes you feel sick, imagine what it must be like for her

Usually, I can find something at least mildly romantic or cute about relationships among reality contestants, even the ones that end in a train wreck. I can’t say the same thing about Erika and Mike. I love Erika as a person, but flying into the arms of Mike Boogie after she has been with Josh makes her look desperate. Now granted, Boogie actually has businesses and his post-reality career prospects are much better than Josh’s, but we’ll forever wonder about what she saw in Boogie. If you believe in any type of God or higher power on this earth, please pray that Julie asks Erika how she liked being sloppy seconds to a wooden box. Julie, if you ask this question if and when Erika is evicted, I promise to baby sit any time you ask.

Basically, there is nothing about this relationship that can make us feel good for either of them, and if CBS decides to film this wedding like Rob and Amber, there aren’t enough gray-filtered procedural dramas in their lineup to pull the network out of the hole they’ll be digging for themselves. I wouldn’t watch that shit in a million years, unless, of course, Julie Chen showed up and presented the newlyweds with a brand new set of shiny Chenbot mugs at the reception.

Although Danielle and Erika were on the block, the two of them had some sort of protection. The person who was really worried about his status in the game was Marcellas, who has no strong allies since he and Janelle had their breakup. Therefore, Marcellas goes up to the HoH room to explain his situation and kiss a little ass. The two of them have not spoken for what seems like a month, but Marcellas goes up there and says “I am working under the assumption that we still had a deal until the final two”. This then leads into the eventual “I thought YOU were talking shit about ME” conversation, but Marcellas is able to put a little doubt into Janelle’s mind by reminding her what her source for all of that information was (Chilltown).

In the end, it looks like Marcellas might have saved himself because he says that he only has one deal and that’s with Janelle. Now that statement is technically true, Marcellas hasn’t made a deal with anybody else, but it’s also not worth the pink bathrobe it’s written on. Marcellas tells Janelle that they should “pretend” to hate each other, which makes it so easy because he is not pretending, but Marcellas intends to take Janelle down the first chance get gets.

I really liked the idea of the coup d’etat, but the producers have managed to make it ambiguous, complicated, and therefore uninteresting. We don’t need to know the answer, but we should at least have some clue as to what the power is going to be. Julie told us that if a person wins the power, they would have a chance to shake up the house and change the nominations, but what is going to happen? Can they nominate the HoH? Can they nominate the Veto winner? Can they nominate Kaysar (come on, you know it would be just as funny to see him eliminated a FOURTH time)? When does all of this happen?

The houseguests are still interested, and four people have already made their guesses after just one clue, which was the female sheep with the pink bow. A second clue appeared, and it was a huge needle and spool of thread. Since we are thinking of a phrase that relates to the game, my guess is going to be “Seeing Erika and Boogie kiss makes me want to sew my eyes shut and fall asleep by counting sheep”. Slightly complicated, but surely no worse than “You are expected to expect the unexpected”.

With the second clue, people started to have better guesses, but again, it is so cryptic, a lot of things would work. Boogie and Will started thinking that it could be “A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing”, which is what a lot of people guessed after the first clue, but if you take the ewe, i.e. “you” and the needle and thread, which can be sew, or “sow”, “You reap what you sow” is a pretty good guess. Boogie and Will seemed to think about that a little bit, but neither had the confidence to ring the bell and make an actual guess.

One person who did have that confidence was Big Boy Howie. He was talking with Janelle, and they think it might be a wolf in sheep’s clothing as well, but Janelle is smart enough to realize that if the two of them wait for the last clue, it might be too late. Howie wants to wait just in case there is “a wolf or some clothing” as the next clue, and then they’ll know for sure. Yeah Howie, they’re going to put a pair of khakis on a wolf and then you’ll know for sure. I’m waiting for a picture of Erika to prove “You reap what you sow”. She is looking grim this year, which can mean grim reaper. Ewe Reaper Sew. Sounds good toe me.

Anyway, Janelle convinced Howie to make a guess. If he was right, great, if not, they have somebody around to make a guess at the third clue. Howie rings the bell and makes his guess, but Janelle realizes that she has to make sure Howie doesn’t tell other people what they guessed. This is something I really didn’t understand. If you made a guess, why tell other people? It only narrows the number of possibilities that could be the right answer. The better idea is to lie about what you said. If I were Danielle, I would say I guessed “wolf in sheep’s clothing” because it has two affects. One, anybody else who thought of it would think it was already used and they needed to say something else. Two, if somebody happens to guess “Do Not Assume”, they will already be too late because Danielle already guessed it.

Janelle was smart enough to realize you don’t want to tell anybody, but unfortunately, she only had Howie to play the game with her, and she couldn’t think of a very good fake phrase for Howie to use. I am not sure if she never heard “You reap what you sew”, but that would have been perfect. Howie guessed “Wolf in sheep’s clothing” so if other people guessed it the next time, they would be too late. If they thought it was “you reap what you sew” they would think that Howie already said it. Instead, Janelle could only come up with “Spool of lies”. Howie made a good effort to tell everybody he said “spool of lies”, but the only spool of lies that people could think of were coming from Howie’s mouth.

Finally, it was time for the Veto competition. Janelle revealed that she could not compete for the win, which was a huge blow considering the rest of the Legion of Doom decided that they would fix it for Danielle. The three people picked to play with Danielle and Erika were Will, James, and Marcellas.

When they got outside, we saw a bunch of challenges from previous seasons, including the Pink Flamingos, the Spinning Chair, and the Mechanical Bull. We even got a guest announcer, but it was only Nicole from Big Brother 2. Even though will is scared of her, she is not very interesting, and we just had her for the food competition, so I think she was a horrible choice. There were four challenges that would take place. First, a former Big Brother houseguest would attempt the challenge, and the veto competitors would make guesses on whether they could beat their time or not. Whoever had the biggest time differential would get a chance to prove it. If they succeeded, they would eliminate one person, if they failed, they would be eliminated. Sounds complicated and stupid, but it was kind of fun, if for nothing more than the old faces we got to see.

The first to trot out was April from last year. Nobody really liked April, but she did have big boobs, and Howie was really happy to see her, even if he did spend half of the summer threatening her dog and trying to make her life miserable. April was timed eating 15 pieces of sushi. That’s like two and a half California rolls, which is NOTHING. April took almost four minutes to do it, but I think I could have finished in half the time. Or maybe I’ll get madeyoulaugh to try it. I don’t think he likes sushi, but it is better than a plateful of wasabi.

Will said that he could finish the sushi in 2:56, and since he guessed the lowest number, he got to try. He finished easily, and after he won, he chose to eliminate Marcellas. Marcellas is rarely picked to play in competitions and is almost always eliminated early, so he was very upset, calling Will and Boogie “gayer that I am”, which is funny because you kind of feel like it’s true.

Our next blast from the past was Scott from Big Brother 5. He used to be best friends with Jase, but now? Not so much. Scott came in, without any skidmarks this time, and played the flamingo toss. The goal was to try and get ten points as quickly as possible by throwing a hula hoop around a flamingo. The farther away the flamingo, the more points you would receive. James won the right to challenge Scott, and he won, eliminating not Danielle, but Erika.

After James eliminated Erika, Janelle started to get a bad feeling about everything. She thought that James was in their alliance for good after Danielle nominated him, but if he didn’t have a deal with her, why did he eliminate Erika. To tell you the truth, the better question would be why didn’t he eliminate Dr. Will? Janelle believes that Erika and Danielle have an alliance, so if Danielle was working with James, why remove somebody from that alliance? These are the types of things that drive us crazy about watching these people in the house right now.

The next challenge featured Jack from season 4. Jack is the ex-FBI agent who said Dana had all the appeal of a Buzzard’s crotch. He also had one of the funniest moments of the season when he tried to get out of the spinning chair for a challenge and landed right on his face. Erika was a master of the challenge, but being eliminated, she couldn’t participate. Jack did a lot better this time getting out of the chair and placing the champagne glass on the platform in less than 40 seconds, and once again James had the chance to beat his time. With all eyes on him, James tried to act like he was really dizzy and couldn’t get it done, but he did a really bad acting job. He failed, and was eliminated, but Janelle finally had proof that something was wrong.

The last challenge was the mechanical bull ride, and they brought back Hardy from season 2. Apparently Hardy was really hot during his season and great eye candy for all of the viewers. I would like to say something else about him, but he didn’t say anything. Hardy rode the bull for almost a minute and Will got the chance to beat his score by saying he could last three minutes. Since you have to beat the score that you guessed, Will basically gave himself and impossible task. He failed and was eliminated, giving Danielle the Power of Veto.

Janelle and Howie were pissed, and Howie even called James’ actions “The Ultimate Betrayal”. I know that we have wanted season six to be a tight group, but I think a lot of people saw this coming. James knew that he was never going to be a close part of the group with Janelle, Howie, and Kaysar, and to be honest, he has been looking for a way to get back at them for nominating him and Sarah since last year. He didn’t get a chance to nominate them himself, but ruining their plans is about as good as it gets.

That being said, James does need Howie and Janelle as a backup plan, so he needed to try and explain what he did. The sad part of this is that Janelle and Howie need James, so while they are pissed with him, they still need him. About the only way things could get worse for Janelle is if Erika didn’t leave the house, so she suggests that they nominate Chilltown to ensure that Erika leaves. It was the first intelligent thing she had said in a week, but would Chilltown really let that happen? Of course not, and the way Will got himself out of this ext situation was genius.

After James reports to them how shit hit the fan, Will and Boogie head up to the HoH. Stupid James let them go alone. While there, Will tries to make the case to put up Marcellas, and when Janelle starts to get frustrated about the veto competition, Will tells her that she shouldn’t be mad at Chilltown for her plan getting fucked up, but should be getting mad at James.

Will’s greatness is that he does such a good job of making people think that they need him to do anything. If anything goes wrong, he has a backup plan. Everybody talks about James and Danielle, but nobody mentions anything about Chilltown working with them, so Will can lie all he wants about James and it won’t affect him. If Janelle puts up James instead of Marcellas, Will and Boogie shift to Janelle and Howie instead. He’s covered either way.

The next segment involved Will, Erika, Janelle, and Mike Boogie frolicking in the shower. People might have been interested in seeing Will and Janelle, and if Erika joined, maybe that’s exciting, but putting Boogie in there really kills the moment, sort of like making out while listening to Barry White and the Insane Clown Posse comes on the next song. Will and Boogie said that it was all a part of their plan to steal these girls hearts before they rip them out, but the only person interested in this whole thing was Howie, who could only listen from the outside while he heard all of the frolicking in the shower. Oh well, there’s always the jack shack.

They show more skin on the Disney channel

Later, Janelle called Marcellas in to talk with her. She was going to go along with the idea of putting up Marcellas, but she “guaranteed” that Marcellas is safe. I am not sure what Janelle is thinking. Is she thinking of putting her trust in James again? Danielle? Chicken George? Chilltown? Marcellas knew that he would be gone if he was put up, because I think he knows what is going on in the house with James and Danielle and Chilltown, but he hates Janelle too much to tell her the truth. Right now it is in Marcellas’ best interest to rat out Danielle, James, and Chilltown, because his only play is with Janelle.

The problem, of course, is that Janelle probably wouldn’t listen to him. She can say whatever she wants to say about the game, but Will has her in his back pocket. Right before the veto ceremony, Will makes one more push for Marcellas, saying that he likes honesty, as if that means anything, and telling Janelle that he and Mike have her back. You know, things have been unraveling for Janelle and her allies since the beginning of the game. You would think that after six weeks of targeting floaters, she might realize that some of her advice is bad. The only common denominator in all of the ways this summer has been fucked up for Season Six is that Chilltown has been involved, but I think Janelle is in so deep, there is no way to pull herself out at this point in the game.

Veto ceremonies are never that interesting, but the most boring are when they somebody on the block has the veto power and the producers try and pretend like that person won’t use it on themselves. Ever since that happened to Marcellas and he was voted out, there is no way it is ever going to happen again.

At the ceremony, Danielle uses the veto, and Janelle puts up Marcellas, who does his best martyr impersonation. He pretends that he is not upset, but says that he wants to rip Janelle’s heart out and feed it to Chilltown. He’s bitter, but if he knew what Chilltown was up to, he should have told Janelle. I’ve been disappointed by Janelle, but I don’t want her to go out like this. The saddest part about all of this is that Janelle really thinks she has a chance to take out Erika, saying that if Erika stays home, she’s in trouble, because that means the people she trusts are trying to get her. Jedi Janey is at her best when she is under pressure, so we’ll get to see what she is made of in the coming weeks.

I thought that this was a pretty good episode. I have gone from being depressed about the producer conspiracies to simply being depressed at how Janelle is being duped in every decision that she makes. My hat’s off to Chilltown for orchestrating this, but it really takes my enjoyment out of the show when my two favorite players, Janelle and Danielle, are counting on Chilltown’s help to win it all. My only hope is that Chilltown is exposed and the rest of the house gets a clue and goes after them. I’m afraid my dream was made to be crushed.

What did you think of this episode? What do you think of the Boogie and Erika romance? Did Janelle make the right choice to put up Marcellas? Will Marcellas or Erika go home? Is there any hope of stopping Chilltown?

Honestly, I don’t remember anything about last nights show. So I’ll just list some stupid stuff that has been running through my mind.

Where’s Kaysar?
I wish I was a virgin in the afterlife. I’d save it all for him.
I love Kaysar

Why is Danielle’s ass SO BIG? Hasn’t she heard of South Beach, or Dr. Will’s operating table? Danielle left the room but her ass is still here!
I love Danielle’s ass. It speaks to me

When will Howie return to his real job? Playing Al Bundy on Married With Children.
I love Howie
Howie loves boobies

Marcellas is still talking… he’s in LA and I can hear him in Chicago.
Shut up Marcellas

What’s living in Erika’s hair? I think Cousin It had a child and Erika kidnapped him.

Ooohh Howie

Ooohh Janie

I don’t understand Marcellas this season. Why is he so pissy all the time? Does he not get how unpopular he’s making himself?

Also I don’t understand how he expected to play this game if he wants Janelle out but has no “agreement” with anyone else in the house. Has he never seen this show before?

No matter how much he pisses and moans, it is quite clear that he no longer wants to be there.

So now with all the “secret” sub alliances, who is going to actually try to win HOH? The only person not playing both sides is poor Howie.

First of all, how lame was the veto competition? Danielle did absolutely nothing for her win. Nothing. (Not even a “no veto for next week”)

Second, the editing proves to be misleading because it seems to me that Janie was forced (by Chilltown and others) to put up Marcellas. If she refused, that would give James/Chilltown enough ground to actively gun for her.

Regarding James, I agree that Janie needs him around. If he was to go on the block, he wouldn’t leave (courtesy of Legion of Doom) and would again give reason for him to attack Janie directly.

(Btw, in past seasons, the diary room footage is supposed to reveal the true intentions of the HGs. But this season, I really think that people are lying just to try and make a good show.)

The show seems to have slowed down a bit this past week. The veto comps has officially become a joke, and the coup d’etat will seem pointless (unless Janelle wins it) to the already frustrated viewers.

One more thing…
4 weeks to go & 8 houseguests remains probably means double eviction coming up on thursday…

I’m hoping for a Will/James win so they get put on the spot to nominate two people…will they have the guts to nominate Janelle/Howie??

Marcy can pack her robe, coz she’s toast–WTF, could it be stupider, you’re either with LOD or against them there’s no inbetween anymore. His only chance was to patch it up with Janey, and replace K in S6–therefore he is soooo toast.

I really despise people who smile in your face, then show thier true ugly reality one minute later. Yes, that’s you, Robe Boy. I’m done with him . . .

Erika, oh my, you poor lost soul, I’m sure her role at CBS had nothing to do with casting, I’m sure working behind the scenes has nothing to do with the kind of drama they would like to create on a reality show, in fact, I’m so sure Boogie wants to rip her heart out–you big fucking fakers!!!!!! ugh!!! gag!!!! barf!!!!

Blown chunks now cover my TV screen . . .

A lot of people seem to complain about CT and Marcellas because they lie and play people against each other. Well, that’s what they are supposed to do! And that is why this season is definitely the best–because everybody is doing it. There’s no innocent good guy to root for. Seasix was the underdog last year, and we loved them for it. Now they’re in power, and we’re fiding out that there’s really not a lot to love. Power corrupts, right?

What’s interesting about this season is that we–the audience–are playing along too, trying to figure out who is telling the truth when and who is really aligned with whom. We are the extra houseguest, and we’re playing the game with them, because it’s impossible to tell when people are lying.

And I don’t care if the game is a sham. It’s still fun to watch. I’ll take Howie whining about being left out of the shower and CG’s costumes any day, because it’s so outrageous.

My final thought: after this week’s eviction, they should announce their Legion of Doom. Janelle and Howie should go up and one will be evicted. The other will be left powerless.

CBS not showing Janelle being pulled out of a deep sleep by CT and James and then being brow-beatened into putting up Marcellas instead of who she wanted (George) is disgusting. If you don’t subscribe to the live feeds or visit the many udates sites because you don’t like “spoilers” then you missed that part. CBS sure didn’t want you to see it. It’s crap like that that makes visiting those sites worth your while. There truly are two different shows going on–the real one in the house and the one that CBS wants you to believe is going on.

If another post pops up from me stating almost word for word what this one does, it’s because I accidently hit the preview button instead of the post one. When I went back to post, my post was mysteriously gone. So sorry in advance.

Dr. Will is the best because he seems to be the only one, along with Mike Boogie but hes annoying and unfunny, who gets that this is a goofy game show. Everyone gets so serious and so hurt. What-ever.

Marcellus needs to shut up. He really does believe his self professed “americas favorite gay” title. Blah blah blah. No one cares. No one likes you. You ahve zero talent and bring nothing to this world.

And when did everyone just start spending the entire day in bathrobes?

They call Erika TransAmErika at Bigbrothersucks forums. I like that. She is the classic butterface. She has the face of an 80 year old jewish gramma attached to a nice body with huge fake boobs.

Janelle and season six are over. They got played. Still, Janelle looks really goos with her extra wieght this year. I like a little muffintop on my women.

That lispy little shit known as james needs to stop with the shtcik in his diary room interviews. Youre not an actor. You can barely speak for gods sake. Shut up and go screw you’re brainless girlfriend with no personality.

I agree with you boomersmommy!! They are really editing this show something terrible.

Janelle had gone to George to tell him that she would be putting him up in Danielle’s place – so for two days he thought he was going to be nominated. But when James, Will and Mike got Janelle up after she had been sleep for a couple of hours to tell her to put up Marcellas as a way to guarantee that Ericka would be the evicted houseguest – she was not coherent enough to analysis what they were telling her…and not Marecellas will most likely go home.

By the way, Janelle forgot to tell George that he was not going up and what they didn’t show was the pure shock and disbelief on his face when Janelle said, “Marcellas”. He remained in his seat on the couch for about 10 minutes just staring into space.

The other thing they didn’t show last night is Dani’s drunken rants.

gotta admit, i’ve become apathetic about BB all stars. thursday night live shows always rock because of the chenbot, but the houseguests have become tedious. dr. will’s shenanigans are still pretty fun, and i’ll always love janelle, no matter how clumsily she stumbles into chill-town’s hands (and now that everyone’s after her, we might get some good tv watching her try to dodge the bullets for a few weeks). but everyone else is a drag. poor erika. she’s got the bod, but her face is really showing the wear and tear of twenty-some years worth of weekly tanning bed sessions. her and boogie are just gross, and the way she seems to be whoring herself out to chill-town makes her look really desperate. marcellas has been such a whiny asshole all summer long–he will not be missed if (when) he goes on thursday. only james has exceeded marcellas in delusional-asshole-ishness, and it looks like we’re going to be stuck with him for a while, unless dr. will decides to go ahead and cut his throat just for shits ‘n’ giggles. i generally like danielle, but since she’s out to get my girl janey, she’s on my shit list. which leaves howie and george–the two half-wit goofballs, one with an alliance, the other without. maybe they would make a good final 2.

Couldn’t agree more, Jack.

It would be interesting to see who CT would nominate . . .

Let’s face it. This would be a boring ass house without Danielle, Janelle, and especially Will. I would love to see them in the final three. The others? Who cares.

And I didn’t like Erika before but BOOGIE? Seriously Erika? Oh, so gross. Of course I can no longer look at him without thinking of his dates with ol’ Rosie.

boomersmommy – thank you for posting that, it does seem that way.

I love Janelle, but she’s pretty screwed. The numbers are so against her that CT/Legion of Douche could just be open about their alliance and crush her with the help of the floaters.

It seems pretty smart of her to keep CT around though because they’re somewhat unpredictable with their votes/loyalty, but she should’ve used that “show me an act of good faith” line on Will and put him up to test his allegiance.

Lame, lame, lame. So lame even jack (#15) couldn’t muster one of his incisive long comments and critiques of this show.

Unless something really exciting happens I’m going to ignore BB forevermore. I mean, the producers are desperately trying to throw things Janelle’s way and she’s showing not an ounce of intelligence or cunning! Three times she’s been HoH and made a mess of it. So fixated in getting the girls out so she can flirt her way through the boys, Ain’t happening, Blondie. She can’t even get Queen Marci on her side. Pitiful, the way Will fucks with her mind each and every week. I don’t think there should be any doubters left out there. Like him or not, Dr. Will Kirby is the only one worthy of the “All Star” title.

In an effort to copy “Survivor”, BB has gone FUBAR. Part of the BB mystique was the tentative first few weeks, where people had to feel their way around, searching for clues to the others’ personalities. This season brought us “alliances” that existed before they ever entered the house. J-Unit, how come you’ve never commented on Boogie, Will and Erika telling the Internet people they had it all set up BEFORE they entered the house? And they claim Erika is living with Boogie? For 6 months? Come on!

If the pattern continues, this was a brilliant move, to get Marci on the block and fuck with Janelle’s mind, thus saving Erika. Absolutely brilliant! Now they can dispose of Danielle and her callypegeous (sic?) ass any time they’re ready, so the three CTs remain and split the $550,000 three ways, a nice piece of change no matter how you look at it.

For those of us conspiracy theorists, maybe the producers (who picked at least Boogie before the season started) are getting some comped meals, drinks and maybe even some medical treatments!!?? Anyway, this was all pretty messed up.

You know the whole throw up in the mouth thing we all swore we wouldn’t say anymore? Well, mine did not stay in the mouth when I saw Erika and Boogie. I think that is part of the stuff you saw in her hair, ANTF. She belongs on http://www.awfulplasticsurgery.com!

ANTF (#39) in the comments for Mulligan — I think you are dead on — that the whole Erika and Boogie living together/getting engaged thing was a bunch of drunken fodder for the internet fan base/ratings machine. If you watch the footage of Boogie’s birthday party, the whole licking of the thigh thing just didn’t play like two people with a thing for each other — even if they were trying to act. Plus, if the show really did fuck up by letting them get on the show together, why would they then air the late night kiss on two consecutive episodes? Also, Boogie made that comment about what she’s gonna think when she finally gives it up then he votes her off on Thursday.

I’m thoroughly repulsed by either possibility, and find Erika’s giggling parasitism to be lame and a setback to women’s credibility every where. Her boobs are so unnatural and out of proportion to the rest of her skeletor-like body that they make me wanna hurl, too. Someone should have shown her plastic surgeon a picture of what real boobs look like. Alright. Enough.

Excellent points about the whole coup competition, J-unit.

Jack, if Howie & Chicken George are the final two, I will NEVER watch this show again. (FYI, I said the same thing when June & Allison were the final two, so put about as much store in my conviction as you would Marcellas’ – it just makes me feel better to say it.)

Anyway, Final Two aside, there may be something wrong with me because Howie is kind of growing on me. There’s something about him that I’m finding endearing this season. I thnk it’s the same appeal that kept Gomer Pyle and Gilligan on the air for so many years.

Dr. Will’s machinations are truly brilliant. I still hope he wins, although I am beginning to question my belief that Danielle should come in 2nd, since she is placing all her faith in the 3 most duplicitous people in the house. Janelle had ONE chance to give me a reason to like her, which would have been putting up James this week, and she blew it so I still can’t stand her.

Speaking of the loathesome James, where was his bloodthirst for Chicken George this week? He was so vituperous on the subject a few weeks back, and now it’s as if it all never happened. His game play is lame.

Oh, and I LOVED when Will said, “When Boogie & I say we have your back, we have your back.” Translation: “Yeah, we grab onto it while we bend you over and give it to you in the ass.”

Hey, Tony A… what’ FUBAR?

After watching Erika recoil from Booger’s advances in the bathroom, I am certain that their romance is a sham. A shammance? A sandwich? (Shut up, Chicken George and eat your damn slop!)

Seriously, none of the HG’s are good actors (or why would they be on reality TV as “aspiring” actors?). Least of all, Erika. If you are trying to hide your feelings with your bf from the other HG’s, that’s fine. But IF you have been hiding them, when you manage a quick moment alone with your beloved, wouldn’t you KISS HIM BACK rather than lean away from him? And Erika’s Emmy Dream 2006 comes to a bitter, cruel end.

Speaking of cruel… How mean was it to shut Big Boy Howie out of the Shower Love Fest? Howie is like a puppy: loyal and dumb. Janelle and Erika let in Booger, who is the only one who took off his shorts (Mama Doily must be SO proud) but chucked Howie? Not nice.

I totally agree with licketsplit (#9). I am having fun with this season, reality or not. I don’t understand some fans and other sites who are calling this season a wash and predicting the ultimate end of BB.

I have to admit, I am getting completely sucked in by Will’s amazing mind games. I can’t wait to see the next move in his master plan, which I am convinced changes daily. At first, I was disappointed with Janelle for believing ANYTHING Will says, but I think her gullible nature may actually end up benefitting her in terms of her relationship with CT. Will has spent a great deal of time working her, but I think it has shown him how loyal/easily manipulated she is. Although they are in an alliance with James, CT is very suspicious of his intentions, so I think they might cut him loose before Janelle. At this point, the whole house (minus Howie) SEEMS to be united in the goal of getting rid of Janelle, but Will and Boogie have had several conversations indicating that their ideal situation would be Final Four with Janelle and Danielle. Wouldn’t that be interesting? They are telling everyone else that Janelle needs to leave next week, but telling each other that they have to save her in the POV.

As for the Erika/Boogie thing, I think they are friends in real life and probably went on a few dates before the game. SHE may think she’s a part of CT, but I don’t think the boys have any more loyalty to her than to the other 18 alliances they’ve created. I think the reason they will sell out Janelle and evict Marcellas against her wishes this week is NOT to save Erika so much as to get rid of Marci, the one person remaining in the house who may be going after them. If they are successful, CT can throw the next few HOH competitions without fear of being nominated. Plus, Boogie thinks he won the coup thing. If that’s true, he can save himself or Will anytime in the next three weeks. Looks like CT will be going to the end!

I still like Marcellas, and particularly love him when he rips into Janelle in the DR.

I agree. Marci has a bullseye for CT. Even though he goes on and on about Janelle (I think it’s a smokescreen to hide his true intentions), CT knows they are on the block if he wins HOH. He and Howie are the only ones that aren’t brainwashed by their BS and calls everone else on it for falling for them.

Another interesting turn is I think Howie would put up CT if he won HOH. He and Marci see clear through them and evertime Janelle wins HOH he lays into CT and the reason why they have to get rid of them NOW. He truly goes on a rant about them. But ditzy Janelle goes on about “not little Willie” and Howie falls into place with her decisions. She is the General and he the Foot Soldier after all.

Not to mention that Will is beginning to steal the girls attention from Howie. He’s been relegated to an observer rather than a participant. The alpha male in him will put up CT just to become the top dog of the house again.

Go Janey, Danny & Howie

after watching the internet hot tub feed, erica and boogie’s romance is definitely FAKE!!

we tvgasmers bag on the houseguests everyweek for believing everything that comes out of will’s mouth, but then we fall for it ourselves hook, line, and sinker!

this guy has such a warped brilliant mind he’s able to mind fuck us viewers through the feeds without even having personal contact. that takes talent.

i seriously could not be one of his patients though. how could you place your health in his hands? creepy.

he’s so outlandish, they need to hire him to play himself on the new season of nip/tuck. he could be christian and sean’s new dermatologist partner.

Thank God for Will. He is the only thing making this season worth watching. This recap has been up for two days now and only #37 posts? When this show is at its best we would be looking at 100 posts plus. TonyA (#22) I can’t agree more that the “All Stars” format hasn’t really translated well to BB. I can’t blame the producers for trying it and God knows how excited we all were with the idea in theory. However, I think the best part of this show is watching the contestants, as complete strangers, feel each other out for the first few weeks, and we as the audience get to do the same thing and decide who we want to root for. Hopefully this season hasn’t done irreparable damage to the franchise as I can’t bear the thought of having to go through next summer with no BB8.
