Let's Make a Deal - 
by J-Unit
When Big Brother All Stars was announced, we had the potential for one of the greatest events ever or a complete disaster. Yes, we were going to get to see a lot of our favorites come back into the fold, but would the show become stale since we all know how most of them are going to play? So far, I have loved this season, because the people in the house know they are going to have to play the game to get farther, but everybody is so self-aware of what's going on that the people who actually try and play the game pay the price, as evidenced by Danielle and Alison being put on the block last week.
This week, Kaysar was named HoH, which made around 82% of America happy. I was happy to see him win because it means our beloved Janey gets to stay in the house another week, but I think Kaysar has a lot to prove. Say what you will about how intelligent he is, the last thing of importance he did on the show was get double-crossed by a woman who by all accounts did only one thing very well, and even then only until her knees bled. The way he handles his week as Head of Household might be the way he cements his legacy as genius mastermind, or overrated chump. How did he do? Let's find out.
As we all know, Alison left the house on Thursday. While Danielle was clearly the happiest person in the house after Alison left, Jannelle was just as happy, even going so far as to say that she feels totally safe because Alison was the only person in the house really going after her. Either they took that statement way out of context, or Jannelle has been getting too much sun. I know she can't see what we see, but for a person who was so good at the game, she has to realize that winning HoH and Veto in the same week makes her a huge target to everybody in the house.
When the replay changes to color, we start to learn a few things about what saved Danielle, particularly how it came to be that Marcellas voted for Alison to leave. It turns out that the season six crew (we're trying to come up with a good name for them in the forums asked for his vote with the promise they would target Danielle later in the game. For now, I don't think that Danielle is that dangerous for Marcellas, but he probably wouldn't want to hear that Jannelle considers herself on "great" terms with Danielle. For Jannelle, I think it is a smart move. She needs to start making independent allies because her alliance is going to be targeted no matter what she does.
The vote to keep Danielle was 8-2, so if you go by the reason that you're only on bad terms with people who didn't vote to keep you, I guess you can say that there were only two people that were NOT on good terms with Danielle. One of them was Diane, which was expected because she had been closest to Alison while she was still in the house. The other one was Nakomis. Normally, this wouldn't be such a big deal, but Nakomis acted like she was completely blindsided by the results, and knew that not being in the loop means that she is in a very bad position.
As we know, there was a little bit of controversy with the HoH competition. Had I know that James said "fuck" I would have posted it two minutes later, but I totally missed it, and therefore the decision to post goes to the recapper of the day. Rest assured, I will be listening twice as close for swear words and/or nipples on the live shows after this and will make them available for you perusal. And as always, if I miss something, feel free to send me an e-mail.
Oh, let them celebrate!
Despite all of that, it wasn't even the funniest thing that happened. Julie first announced that Nakomis won the nomination, and then had to sheepishly apologize to Kaysar because he was the one who won. Upon Kaysar's win, Howie and Jannelle mobbed him, which is what James was so upset about.
