"Is there basil in this? I bet there is. I may not be a gourmand, but I know my fresh herbs! Seriously, Gail, this is delicious."

LMFAO!!
Everyone has to read that sentence with Jame's lisp. You will laugh yourself into a coma.

The cover looks like the girl just made James smell her ice cream and then pushed it in his nose.

Why do they all have the same amount of pasta on their forks at the same distance to their mouths?

Howie and Janelle deserve to be on all-stars more than that weasel.

Pfff. Howie is fun but dumb and couldn't play the game to save his life. Janelle can play better, but thanks to the idolization of her since the show I'm over her. James, can't stand his politics but he's fun to watch and can play the game. He's got my vote.

Sad that I saw those pics on his myspace account while I was trolling around looking at Kaysar's page...

I liked him on BB6, but his lisp just really bugged me.

Doesn't the girl in this picture look like Veronica from Prision Break?

And see, I thought she reminded me of a pre-Tom Katie Holmes.

What a tool.

B-Side, you had me rolling with that caption (figuratively, of course since I am at work, and had to bite my lip from busting out loud). You should seriously have a caption contest for that flamingly non-heterosexual picture.

On another note...vote James for All-Stars! James was one of the best contestants of all time considering he was fighting for his life since week 3 or 4 (or whenever Howie screwed everything up in one fell-swoop), and won the veto week after week.

that is too funny. thanks for sharing :) i want james to go on all stars just so he can win the veto every week, that would be hysterical

I'll actually be in Milwaukee next week. I'll try and see if i can recraete that dazzling photo. Not sure if I have the same chops as James does. hes just so natural!

He then went on to entertain the family with tales of his stint as a 9th Grade Philosophy teacher, and to explain how when you swear on the Bible, you can't take it back.

Those look like the photos from the 50s and 60s that James Lileks enjoys lampooning on his website - http://www.lileks.com

Jeff (#13): Yeah, it's so weird how everyone's both smiling an raising their forks at the same time. And why is everyone sitting on the same side of the table?

Fuckin' ugly house AND family.

I bet Gail poisoned the food.

James one of the best to watch? Is that a joke? I don't know what was more entertaining, him refusing to laugh at ANYTHING in the house, moping around, ever since Sarah got evicted OR him making up lies since he got out of the house to ride the coat tails of Janelle, Kaysar and Howie's popularity.

"I put on an act in the dairy room." Shut up, James. You weren't acting in the dairy room of all places -- after Sarah left you turned into a spineless jelly fish who sympathized with the Nerd Herd instead of making fun of everyone like you used to. If James would be honest and admit that the game changed for him and he wasn't interesting in being an asshole anymore, I'd have more respect for him but now he is lying about stuff documented on video. Nice try, James.

James quote from the house: "You guys, stop the personal attacks."
James quote from outside the house: "J-Blo is a dumb whore."

Gee, could it be that James changed his tone once he realized America actually liked the insults against the Nerd Herd? Why, I think that's exactly it!

James who had never heard of BB suddenly "loves the game," has a website for himself, and plans on joining the tools at the Fish Bowl. James who didn't say anything bad about the Nerd Herd and actually called the Janie/Kaysar/Howie "evil bastards" when he was sitting by himself in a room not talking to anyone but himself, now they are his fucking best friends and he won't calling Jennifer or April by their real names, now opting to calling them "J-Blo" and "Yapril."

James is a douche-bag. (I won't go into non-game stuff like his lisp, eyebrows or his tiny head.)

I forgot to mention the time where he didn't follow the directions for a veto comp, essentially cheating, and beat Janelle by a mere 4 seconds. Had he followed the rules, Janelle would have won. It was the pool diving one. The other veto was given to him so they could nominate Eric. James really didn't win 4 vetos, sorry.

I can't stand that loser James. The whole time in the house he was running from one team to the other lying his head off. I understand that it was just a game but this evil little man gave me the creeps. He was a simpering, conniving little weasel. If he were a character written by Shakespere he would have a misshapen face, a hump and a limp. When he got out of the house and realized how popular the Sovereigns were and that his sweet Sara was on their side he totally changed his tune! I do NOT want him on All Stars. I want Janelle back and maybe Evilette. I would love to see Evilette try and go against her character to prove to the public that she aint so bad after all. Hahaha!

"The whole time in the house he was running from one team to the other lying his head off"

That's what made him a great player. The fact you despised him bc he was a liar and bc he played both sides has nothing to do with him being a good player. It is exactly the reason he WAS a great player in this game. Dr. Will did the same thing in season 2, but the only difference is that he was also incredibly entertaining in the diary rooms.

I don't think many ppl on this board are saying James was entertaining to watch in regards of him sticking up for the nerd herd at times, or moping around when Sara got evicted, but are saying he is what he is, and that is a damn good player, someone you perhaps love to hate, but know makes the show more interesting.

He was handicapped from the beginning with his gf in the house, but he was the only one of the few truly playing the game...actually working both sides and surviving with his wits. Yeah he was marked from the first few weeks, but look how frickin' far he lasted in regards to being targeted for so long. Regardless of what he said or didn't say post BB6, he was still a strong player who got more vetoes than anyone else in BB history.

I agree, he is pretty much a dousche in real life (see the pics above), but I thought he played the game very well. Who wants to see a bunch of straight laced ppl telling the truth and playing a 'fair' game like Kaysar wanted? Would you really watch a show like this if there weren't lying, backstabbing, etc?

LEON'S! Leon's has the BEST frozen custard in Milwaukee. I am in Mke every Thanksgiving and freeze my bum off to get a sundae! EdHill..it's at the corner of 27th & Oklahoma, south of downtown. Enjoy!

PoopsMcgee, I really disagree about the lying thing -- he was a shitty liar. I loved Dr. Will, he was a great liar. James pretended to be a 9th grade philosophy teacher? Oooh, what a mastermind. (For the record, do 9th grade cirriculums have philospohy?) He told Ivette that he would nominate Rachel and Howie and then came back and told her that he would nominate Maggie. What an idiot.

And then he had this epiphany after Sarah left. He was just a shitty player all-around who only lasted because he won vetos. One of which, he cheated on and didn't deserve.

Most of all, I hate his famehworing. Go hang out on the Fish Bowl if that's what you want to do, you tool. But stop pretending you hated the Nerd Herd and was best buds with Kaysar, Janelle, Howie and Rachel. There was a 24/7 internet feed, we know you a synophant, famewhore, and weenie.

Does anybody want to see anyone from Season 1 on BB7?

How about this list of former contestants to choose from?

Season 2: Bunky,Hardy and Will
Season 3: Lisa, Marcellas, Roddy
Season 4: Alison, David, Erica, Jack and Jun
Season 5: Drew, Jase, Nakomis, Marvin and Will
Season 6: Howie, James, Janelle, Kaysar and Maggie

Let me know what you think. Anyone you'd rather see up for nomination?

Say what you want, would still love to take James for a ride...; ) He doesn't have to say a word. I'd prefer that, actually.

Remember, he has huge feet, as we saw on big brother. And you know what they say...Big Feet, Big Mea..t...oops meant to say Shoes, yeah , big shoes!

KH

Of all the people who should return for BB7, we have to give it up for Danielle, of BB3, who totally dominated and manipulated her way to second place (despite what Marcellas says, if her game hadn't been ruined by the dairy rooms being shown in Sequester and her game being put on Blast), she should have beaten pasty-faced Lisa! God, Danielle owned that game and it would be interesting to see her return and run it all over again. Danielle was a great player because she was able to foist her agenda and have the other 12 play by her rules (how she engineered the order of the ousted contestants), etc. If she doesn't return as an "evil" houseguest, there is surely no justice in the world.

hey all, I wish slutty_whore hadn't been taken when I was dreaming up an ID for here (that is a complement!)

I find it funny how many of those names mentioned are faceless to me. I only liked Janelle, and I thought James was a puss, but I haven't followed any thing of them after the show. I would think, they're doing an all star just to get Janelle back (I hope anyway) Not sure why I liked her so much, mainly I'm glad to have a new show to snark over here . . . I wasn't here for last season so I hope it's a good one!

slutty_whore is correct. Danielle was bar none the greatest player in BB history.

a) She had never been nominated.
b) She was a part of every single eviction and knew about/planned it before hand.
c) No one left the house blaming her or angry at her
d) If they hadn't seen those diary rooms, she would have won. No question about it. (Apparently calling Roddy the devil bothered him.)

Thanks, Kathryn. I know that, although each season is different, how can anyone call James' play manipulative? Eric's team and Janelle's team knew what the hell he was doing and, had he not won all of those vetoes, would have been gone before his loser girlfriend, whose got evicted for being close to James? There is no way in hell that James is even close to being near the pantheon of great players in BB history!
