So... We just got a message on myspace asking if we knew what happened to Will's myspace page. Apparently, it's gone... which I should have known since I had myself in a Will/Kaysar sandwich on our own myspace page, but, I didn't notice.

No clue here as to what happened. Do any of you know?

The real reason for flames

Hey everyone! Gosh I've missed you guys! Many of you may have wondered why they cut to flames when the houseguests start singing. Well, we found the reason, and it's not what we thought originally... ya know.. costs, ASCAP, and all that... Check this out. Unless you have perfect pitch, in which case, let me save you the pain.

Sequester House Clips

2006-09-24T10:21:00.000-07:00

I just came across some funny clips of the sequester house put together by sweetspaces. Check these out. More proof of why there ought to be feeds from the sequester house... Sheesh! On the one hand, I can see the logic: they've been kicked out - at least allow them some privacy now. But, on the other hand, if you wanna keep people watching the feeds, and not have a mass exodus, as there was the moment Janelle got the boot, give the people what they want. When all the favorites are in sequester, it only makes sense!

This next one includes some great still shots of the HGs in both sequester houses, as well as having fun the wrap party! Appropriately titled "BB7 No Showmance Video!" hehe. The backlash begins.

From Janelle's Local Paper

2006-09-15T09:57:00.000-07:00

Janelle's mother, Ann, was interviewed by a local paper shortly before the show ended, and she divulged that CBS is already talking about getting Janie on another reality show! Yayyy!!! Here's the article.

Hometown girl is finalist on Big Brother
Britta Arendt
Herald-Review
Last Updated: Friday, September 08th, 2006 04:43:25 PM

She may have been evicted Thursday from the CBS hit reality television show Big Brother 7 All Stars, but Grand Rapids native Janelle Pierzina has gained millions of fans all over the world and helped the show top the ratings this summer.
“Our hometown girl is America’s choice and America’s sweetheart,” said Janelle’s mother Ann Pierzina.

A 1998 graduate of Grand Rapids High School, Janelle first became a national star when she acquired a spot on Big Brother 6 last summer. As part of the show’s premise and popularity, Janelle lived with a group of strangers in a house equipped with cameras and microphones that monitor their every move and word, 24 hours a day, seven days a week for three months. On season six, Janelle proved to be a tough contender competing for the rank of Head of Household and the right to stay in the house for the chance at winning up to $1 million. After spending 75 days in the house on season six, Janelle was one of just three remaining house guests before she was evicted.

This June, CBS asked America to decide which former Big Brother house guests from all six seasons they wanted to compete in the Big Brother All Stars and Janelle received an astounding number of votes and became one of 13 for this summer’s show. Surviving the manipulation, secrets, backstabbing, and betrayals that come to play with the game of Big Brother, Janelle lasted nine weeks in the house winning Head of Household several times and proving to be a very powerful player. In fact, it was her play of the game that eventually became so much of a threat that it drove the two remaining house guests to evict her.

“She’s rockin’,” said Ann. “Many have said she’s the all-time best reality competitor. She’s true to her spirit and honorable and that is what makes her the best player ever.”
Game and fame aside, Janelle’s family is very proud of their small-town girl as family, friends and local fans alike came to tune into their television sets every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday nights to spend the summer with Janelle, whom many fondly know as Janey.

“You’re always at awe with your first born child but now I’m even more at awe and amazed at the woman she has become,” said Ann who has watched her daughter grow and mature before the eyes of millions on national television. “She is so loyal and has so much goodness. She’s inspired people from their death beds, inspired people to go to college. She’s even inspired people to read the Bible after they’ve seen her read it in the house. People love her.”

What’s next for Janelle? She is now a member of the Big Brother jury that will vote for which remaining house guest they want to win $500,000. Ann said CBS also has approached her about continuing her reality television career, possibly on a future reality show.

He Said, She Said

2006-09-15T09:19:00.000-07:00

EW.com article:
Mike Boogie, the winner of ''Big Brother: All-Stars,'' and Erika, his jilted house romance and runner-up, talk to Jessica Shaw about the consequences of playing evil

It's hard to rejoice about Mike Boogie winning $500,000 on Big Brother: All-Stars for basically being one of the most despicable human beings ever to stand in front of a camera. Nonetheless, the guy won fair and square, with a near-unanimous vote in his favor. Of course, he's got his due, by having to fly coach (!) with Erika (!!) all day the Wednesday after the finale. The former lovebirds spoke with EW.com by phone before their flight back to L.A. took off. At least we kept them from killing each other for a few minutes. (In fact, Erika at first didn't want to talk to us, but in the end, she decided to take our call and set a few things straight.)

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How are you feeling about yourself today, Boogie?
MIKE ''BOOGIE'' MALIN: I haven't slept yet. We went right from the show to the airport. That was a little stressful ride, with Erika. Then we went to Rosie [a.k.a. The View], and she raked me over the coals. I think I have an idea of how the show went down.

Are you saying you don't remember anything you said?
Everyone needs to remember this is a game and a reality show and it's television. What are you going to do?

That's one way of looking at it. But back to the car ride to the airport: Describe the stress between you and Erika.
It was definitely an icy ride to the airport. Her whole family wants to kill me. We didn't talk really until we almost got to New York on the plane.

And then what happened? You went to sit next to her to beg forgiveness?
No, she moved into the seat next to me. We talked it out a little. It's the one show where you don't tape it, go home for three months, and watch it. So you're relying on a lot of other people's opinions. You don't know how you've been edited.

What did you tell Erika when you spoke?
I just told her to reserve judgment for when she watches the show herself and to always keep in mind that my feelings were true. I said to think of it like the movie Grease. You have this thing with a guy and he goes and shows off and plays it down to his buddies. It just so happened my buddies were the American public. It's not the best example, but I do admit to being a bit of a showoff. But at the end of the day, we were playing a game. I didn't do anything unethical or immoral. I'm sorry her feelings are hurt, but I was there for myself.

Any regrets?
I regret that she feels bad. But Will and I are very adept in providing entertaining television. That show doesn't work well when people sit around and are nice. Five years ago I was nice and didn't get anything out of it. At the time I was making a lot of those statements, I was under the assumption that she was doing the same. I thought for sure people were saying bad things about me as well.

It's interesting to me because at first I thought Erika would win. But then when I saw how the jury was talking about her, I thought she was so hated she didn't have a chance.
What people need to understand is the people who were in the house and closest to what really went on have those feelings about her. It's kind of like, ''Don't cry for me, Argentina.'' She was doing things with me to advance herself in the game as well. It's just because she's a girl that people are making her look like an injured party.

I guess Rosie really went into you today.
I guess I should have known going on a women's program that it was going to be like that. It's very hypocritical because Janelle up to the last second told Will he was staying. That's okay, but I can't hook up? In the end my actions spoke louder than words. I promised to take her to the end, and I did. Anyway, this is Entertainment Weekly. I think you should go with the ''partner of Ashton Kutcher, Danny Masterson, and Wilmer Valderrama wins Big Brother: All-Stars'' approach.

Okay, tell me about those alleged restaurants you're investing in.
You know, I just saw Ashton on The View. He was taping something, and Ashton was like, ''Dude. You were harsh. But I was happy seeing the Dolce shirts on there.'' We have three restaurants we're doing in Atlanta with Ashton and Danny and Wilmer and Chris [Masterson] and Laura Prepon. I'm going to reinvest the money in those projects.

Did you and Will have an arrangement before the show in which you agreed that whoever won would simply invest in joint ventures?
You can't have arrangements like that because of the FCC. But Will is also an investor in the Atlanta project. You know what I'm saying. Everyone wins.

Let's talk about Will. What was up with you crying hysterically after he got voted off?
My dream was for Will and me to go to the finals, even if I would have lost to him. People want to paint me as a bad person, but I was willing to lose to Will if to honor Chill Town. It was just such an ambush. That's what's so funny — all the media are coming at me like I'm this bad guy, but those girls schemed and lied and kicked Will out. They're just as guilty.

You keep getting interrupted by fans at JFK Airport. Are they loving you or hating you?
It's half and half.

Do you think any woman will ever want to go out with you again?
I guess I'm not too popular with women right now. But the great thing about America is everyone loves a winner. That's a good one. You can quote me on that.

Okay, done. Did you consider giving the Aruba trip or something to Erika as an olive branch?
No, not at all. I'm going to give the car to my mom. And the trip to a friend of mine who's been out of work for a while. The plasma TV is going to my business partner. I did this to share with my family and friends.

What was the last week in the house like?
It was a little awkward. I mean, I think she thought she would win. I don't think she knew I was going to smash her like that. I knew the worst case it was 5-2 me. I thought Howie or George might vote for her.

I understand you and Erika went out a bit before the show. Was that strategy as well?
We went on a couple of dates before the show. That was real. I genuinely enjoyed her company. I didn't think I was going to get on the show, to be honest. When we both got on, it was an added bonus.

What did Will say to you last night after you saw each other?
Will just said, ''Man, you have no idea what's going on. We're really hated but also really loved.'' We had a good laugh.

It's interesting because Will seems to be the Teflon half of Chill Town. No one blames him for anything, and yet people are ready to murder you.
Will has this kind of way about him. That's what inspired me to be like this. Five years ago I was the nice guy, and he acted like this, and everyone forgave him. This year I was like him, and I got vilified. It's like damned if you do, damned if you don't. At the end of the day it's about my friends and my family. I'm not going to allow strangers to judge me.

Were you surprised by how the voting went? I never expected Howie to vote for you!
I totally predicted the voting. Out of the jury there were six all-stars and one jaded queen. The all-stars voted for the best player. Maybe it's because he wasn't around long enough to see the actual game being played, but I played the best game out of anyone. Erika played a great second-place game. Will and I played circles out of anyone. I respect Howie immensely for putting his personal feelings aside.

Did you ever consider for a second taking Janelle to the finals?
Janelle has the same qualities as Will in that she can do no wrong. With her competition numbers she would have been impossible to beat. All she would have to do was stand up and say, ''Look how many challenges I won.'' I respected her as a player. If I knew I'd win no matter what, I would have taken her.

Janelle seems to think Erika threw that final HOH competition. Did she?No, she didn't. I think Janelle might think she did, but Erika tried. She didn't know for sure that I was going to take her.

What did the show psychologist make of you when you had your obligatory post-finale meeting?
Obviously I was on cloud nine. I told the lady I might be calling her later, but they had just handed me a check for $500,000. I didn't need to see a psychiatrist. I needed to see an accountant.

Will does YR

2006-09-15T09:07:00.000-07:00

The BB/YR connection continues. Last year was Kaysar, this year is Will. Someone at TV Guide hasn't been watching their BB, though, and it shows... peanut butter & Dr. Evil, indeed. Hmph. Darling, it's slop, and as for Will, he's new and improved... Dr. Delicious, if you please.

Here's the article:

Big Brother Bad Boy Feels Young and Restless
"Reality TV troublemaker Will Kirby (Big Brother 7: All-Stars) taped a cameo appearance at the Young and the Restless set today.

Kirby (a.k.a. BB's "Dr. Evil") plays a businessman named, oddly enough, Will Kirby. On October 23, you'll see him sharing a conversation with Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) in the hallway at Newman Enterprises.

What are they gonna do, form an evil alliance to force their enemies to eat nothing but peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for a week? Seriously, I never got the appeal of Big Brother. Of course, I'll still watch Will's episode because I never miss a day of my Y&R!"

These 2 pics are from the wrap party, immediately following the live show last night. As you can see, our favorite twosome's lookin' pretty cozy, and Will's still whispering...

What we wanna know is, what on earth did he say to get that response from Janelle?! Check out the expression on her face in the pic below. She looks absolutely floored.

*** Pardon me while I do the happy dance. Go Janie, Go!

The Money

2006-09-13T11:33:00.000-07:00

A lot of you have been asking how can it be that Janelle actually walks away with more. Here's your answer:

With the exception of 1st and 2nd place, who receive prize money but forfeit their stipend, the Houseguests all receive a stipend of $4,000/week for being in the house, and $5,000/week for being in sequester. When you do the math, you come up with the following for Janelle:
9wks x 4,000 = 36,000
1 wk x 5,000 = 5,000
Prize Money = 25,000
TOTAL = $66,000

Having to forfeit her stipend, Erika's total take from the show was 50k, which, if you really wanna get into the nitty gritty is even less, because in terms of taxes, it's all "prize money," and not "earned income," like the stipend money... and so it is taxed much more heavily.

May the Best Player Win

2006-09-12T14:24:00.000-07:00

When all is said and done tonight, Big Brother All-Stars will have a newly crowned king or queen... Whether we like it or not, Janelle and Will are not the final two. Like many before them, they were evicted. True, their evictions were harder to take, and Will's was applauded as a great move by many (myself not included), but in the end, Boogie and Erika are the last two standing, and prior less lucid comments notwithstanding, they deserve their positions. They may have achieved them by virtue of less popular game tactics, but they achieved them nonetheless.

In the spirit of gamesmanship, which I will freely and ashamedly admit to having lost over the past week, and all that is holy (or unholy) in the BB world, I wish the finalists the best of luck tonight, and in the next few weeks as they de-compress, normalize and re-enter the world.

BB Fans, It's time to re-group, get over the hostility, and remember

Hate the Game,
Not the Player

In that vein, please enjoy this video. It's a wonderful compilation set to "I hope you had the time of your life," and it includes MANY of your favorite moments.

*** I'd be remiss not to include these two videos as well. The first is this morning's CBS Early Show. Following that is a Housecalls clip about the final 2.

Post Show Will & Janelle

2006-09-12T14:20:00.000-07:00

Here's what eonline has to say with regard to Will's feelings for Janelle from a post eviction interview:

"I talked to Dr. Will on Friday, who seemed pretty happy with how long Operation Double Date lasted. He told me his main goal was to create buzz around him and Boogie, so that The Amazing Race would consider them a worthy team!"

& with regard to Janelle:

"He said he has no hard feelings about the eviction, but apparently he has no real interest in her...although his real-life girlfriend, For Love or Money winner Erin Brody(!), isn't totally convinced of that. She's not happy with him and his Janelle antics in the house, and their relationship is in trouble because of it. He seemed genuinely concerned, telling me he loves Erin very much. He said she's really confused, because Janelle is nothing like her, and nothing like the women he would normally be attracted to: 'Erin is an adult--professional, poised, classy. Janelle is superfun, boisterous and voluptuous, but she's someone I would've been interested in 10 years ago.' "

Can't We All Just Get Along

2006-09-12T10:09:00.000-07:00

Instead of dissolving into who hates who most and why so-n-so is a big ho, etc., etc., how about we all just try to get along and unify in our common love for Big Brother? (I'm writing this as much to myself as everyone else - yes, that's right, I'm human and get overly involved in it occassionally too) I think we all just need to take a few steps back right now and say: It's been a great season... It's just about over... And I for one, would like to look back on it with fondness.

I'll be posting more of your favorite moments this afternoon when I get back from the dentist (which i'd completely forgotten about till my phone just reminded me!). Have a terrific day! Please feel free to leave more of your favorite moment requests right here in the comments section of this post.

The End Is Near

2006-09-12T08:51:00.000-07:00

Hard to believe it's all coming to an end tonight.. truly hard to believe. Frankly, I'm speechless, and when does that happen?! I thank you all so much for coming and suporting this blog all season long. As a first time bb blogger, I couldn't be more thrilled... Hey! We made it into the top 15 - maybe even the top 10 once it comes back on line - on the bbtop100, and that's next to sites that have been in existence for YEARS... I'm honored and humbled.

We will, as always, be posting the spoiler here on the blog tonight, for the west coast folks that need to know.

And that will not be the end of us. :) As time progresses, we'll be interviewing select houseguests from this past season - checking in on their opinions of the season, their lives and such.

We're also really looking forward to hearing back from those of you applying for bb8 on how that process is going... Is the next bb allstar already among us?? Here's the link to apply: CLICK HERE!

If you haven't already, please bookmark the site, and add us on myspace, so we can keep you abreast of what's up 'n coming. FOr those that are wondering, yes, we are doing Survivor and Amazing Race blogs... and the links for those are in the sidebar! We look forward to seeing you there!

This post sounds final, and it's actually not... I just need more coffee. ;) I plan on going out this season with a bang - not a whimper - no matter who the final 2 is! Sheesh.

Erika and Boogie in shower, separate stalls.

Erika: They hate us Boogie
Boogie: Who...WHO???
Erika: The fans
Boogie: What?? They love you. They voted you in.

Stupid Girl Video

2006-09-11T22:22:00.000-07:00

The Erika love just keeps growing and growing. The youtubers are getting creative with it now. Check out this video put together by auntjulie... excellent editing and a really nice flow. I'm guessing this is not one that Erika's family is going to want to watch though... before you slam me for posting it, please remember, these are her actions, and how pleased could her family have been watching her "actions" on the feeds?

BB Allstars Finale Preview

2006-09-11T22:15:00.000-07:00

According to the CBS promo for Finale of BB All-Stars, Erika will find out tomorrow what Boogie was saying in his diary room sessions all along:

Just for Fun

2006-09-11T19:44:00.000-07:00

My Final 2... ah, well. This is about 6 minutes of my favorite moment. ;) Hope you enjoy it... I think ya just might. :)

Quote of the Day

2006-09-11T18:19:00.000-07:00

"The single most important thing we did all season was Will befriending Janelle."

-Mike "Boogie" Malin,
speaking of Chilltown.

Know Your Role

2006-09-11T18:08:00.000-07:00

5:50pm BBT
BACKYARD - Boogie & Erika
Erika is sitting on the big red couch, annoying Boogie, who is playing pool by himself, and seems like he would truly welcome the opportunity to strangle her at this point. Gettin' a little tense in there. Bet he's wishing he'd brought Janie now! :-P

Erika makes some random non-sensical references, then...
Erika: (laughing) Just kidding BB, I'm just grouchy today.
Boogie: (dripping condescention) You've learned a lot, Erika. I'm very impressed. You've learned a lot this summer from Will and I. Just the right amount of facetiousness. It's great. Great delivery. Making demands. You're really making the most of it... your last 24 hours.
Erika: Well I've been a good girl all season.
Boogie: I'm not... I'm not gonna listen to this. MUSIC!

Erika: (laughs) I figure I've given them tons of bikini, a hook up. Ummm... What else did they need from me? I mean, basically that's what I'm cast for, right? I knew my role, I did it...
Boogie:(hating her) Yeah, you did everything. (yells at the pool table)ough! I'm so full of gas.
Erika: I mean, I didn't fart on any mikes or anything like that, but...
Boogie :ugh, Leave that to me...(yells- still cussing at the pool table) ya f-ck!(whispers) bastard!
Erika: (laughs)
Boogie: (yells) I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MY MOM!!!

Meanwhile, In the BB House

2006-09-11T14:29:00.000-07:00

Erika says she's losing her F'ing mind...

Erika:(speaking to internet) I will talk to you since I have no one else to talk to. This is what happens when you put someone very social and very active in a house...and we lose our minds. I am going crazy. I am losing my mind. Be careful what you wish for, it just might come true. This game is so f'in' hard...I guess I am in the final two, so that is some consolation.

***I'm glad she said this. It brought back to mind something I was pondering last night, which is, I wonder if Dr. Zachary is working on publishing something on the psychology and psychoses of confinement as it applies to the non-criminal, otherwise "stable" population... or if she already has... She's certainly an authority on it now, if she wasn't already going into this.

Publish or Perish...

C=Venus Chop VIDEO

Favorite Moments

2006-09-11T12:58:00.000-07:00

Wow! What a season it's been. Hard to believe it's only really been since July the 6th... It feels like a year already. Along with everything else that's running through my head today, I started to think about my favorite moments from the All-Stars season. There have been so many, and heaven knows, we've blogged about most of them.

So... my all-time favorite moment from the season is: Janelle and Will being complete goofballs, bouncing with childlike abandon on the trampoline.

What's yours?

If you need some help figuring it out, there's a blog full of moments for you to peruse right beneath your fingertips. ;) Check out the "Archives" in the sidebar on the left side of the blog.

Here are a few of your favorite moments already... Please keep letting me know in the comments section, and I'll keep adding 'em.

For the three Erika fans that read blog...I apologize but I am trying hard to find something to make me laugh today! This video did the trick!

Much more faith in you

2006-09-11T01:31:00.000-07:00

I keep seeing new avatars of "9-11: Never forget" and thinking, how could anyone, possibly, ever forget? It's a part of our national conciousness - and it's never going to go away. I haven't decided how I will personally memorialize the fallen this 9-11... All I know is that, in their honor and memory, I will do something special...

I encourage anyone reading this to do the same - to set this day apart somehow. I will not, however, tell you not to forget. I have much more faith in you than that.

Strange Woman CHOP

2006-09-10T18:46:00.000-07:00

And from the woman who needs no introduction, but could likely use sleep about as much as Carla and myself, the very latest chop from C=Venus. I'm sure I'm not alone when I keep hoping each new chop isn't her last for the season... but I'm pretty confident, she'll end with the face she loves most, so for the moment, we're in the clear.

How Will the HGs Vote?

2006-09-10T14:50:00.001-07:00

OK... Boogie has the popular vote by a landslide! so far, 47 for Boogie and 3 for Erika. That pretty well covers who the public wants to win. Now the next question is:

How will the evicted HGs vote?

Please answer in the following format:

Boogie: Will, Janelle, James, etc...
Erika: Marcellas, George, etc...
FINAL JURY VOTE = 6-1, 4-3, etc...

Again, all comments are moderated, so it may take a few minutes before you see your's published...

Who Has Your Vote?

2006-09-10T12:48:00.000-07:00

OK, BBFans. It's down to the wire, and after last night, I've actually grown an opinion on who I'd like to see win out of the final 2. So I thought it might be fun to do an informal poll and see... Who you would vote for to win the 500,000, if you were on the jury?

Please leave your Vote, Simply "Mike (or Boogie)" or "Erika" in the comments section here. I'll go back in later on, tally it up and post our bb7dish results. Also, please vote only once. All comments on this blog are moderated, so it will not show up immediately, but I will get it, and publish it ASAP. Lastly, Anonymous folks, please put your initials or something - the name of your first pet? - so we have a clear picture of how many voters there are...

Thanks!!

Again, please refrain from aggression therapy and excessive exclamations in the comments. ;)

Overnights

2006-09-10T10:27:00.000-07:00

Saturday, September 9th

Since not too many people are really watching the feeds anymore, I thought it apropos to give a full day recap for yesterday.

The day started out with both Boogie and Erika very nervous about the questioning from the jury. Mostly, it was Erika that was on edge, and Boogie was just taking it as is comes. Even at this late stage of the game, his actions and words today have him growing on me...

Boogie: If any of you saw Erika's speeches all season, I gotta think you like my chances. I don't gotta say anything really. I could probably just stand up and say "go ahead and vote for the best player guys, thank you for your time" It's wrap city.

After this little tidbit, there was nothing interesting to report for about 4 hours. Erika showered, changed and did her hair, and re-did her hair, and re-did her hair... then paces and put on makeup and picked at her face.

Boogie, meanwhile, spent this time listening to music and napping... until we heard the blessed voices of the evicted HGs coming over the feeds- how we've missed them!
They were chatting outside, being directed by production, and then the feeds went to flames for about 2 1/2 hours.

When CBS doused the flames, our final 2 were discussing the evening of quesitoning from the jury, and doing some pretty intense bashing, mostly of Janie, and mostly from Erika.

Erika went on and on about Janelle saying that Janelle was jealous of her. Both Boogie and Erika suggest from their comments that Janie really did a number on them.

Sensing that the tension was now over, since now their fate was completely in the hands of the jury, Erika attempts to rekindle the romance.

Erika: Now we can kiss.

They start going at it, but Boogie's just not into it. They go into the storage room to see if there's any more wine for them...

Erika: Are you sick of me?
Boogie: Not you the situation.

Because it's convenient and a good way to stay off the topic of their Homance, they go after Janelle again, calling her crazy and saying she sounded drunk.

Erika: The pretty girl was sitting in the spotlight, and Janelle was jealous of that.

***Erika, what color is the sky in your world?

Then Erika and Boogie dissolve into an argument, caused mainly by Erika's delusions of grandeur.
Erika: It was me that got Howie out.
Boogie says it was him.
Erika: Will's not going to be able to sway any votes for you.
Boogie: I think I have Will, Janelle and James. Howie's up in the air. It just depends of Janelle can sway his vote, or if his manhood gets in the way.

Erika's delusions continue:

Erika: Are you going to ask me to marry you?
Boogie: No. I didn't think you wanted me to do that.
Erika: Well, not on the finale anyway...

Then they got into a discussion of all the alliances, and Boogie tells her about almost everything, including "the Perfect Storm" with Howie and Janelle, which only lasted a week... Then he tells her about the "Legion of Doom," which has her cracking up at the name. He doesn't mention "Operation Double Date," yet.

Erika's response to all this is...
Erika: Well, that's why I had to vote out Will.
Seems she forgot who voted that week.

Erika gets hungry again and fixes herself more Ramen with creamer, "to make it creamy." Gross.

The mix of alcohol and MSG from the ramen must have caused further imbalance in Erika's brain. She goes on a rant, insisting to Boogie that if it was her and Janelle in the final 2, she would have won.

Erika: If it was Janelle and myself, I would have won. No way Marcellas would have voted for Janelle. George, Danielle, you and probably Will would have all voted for me. That would have been 5 for me, 2 for her.

Erika goes on and on, congratulating herself about being the best player in the game. She takes credit for all the evictions, including Howie and James, and ofc ourse, Danielle. She tells Boogie she knew about all the Chilltown alliances, even as she continues to ask him about them. Boogie's still not saying anything about Operation Double Date.

Erika: (again!) I took Will out, and I fell for the puppetmaster's best friend.

Boogie and Erika talk more about the evicted HGs.

Boogie: Jase thought we threw him under the bus.
Erika: Everyone thought CT threw them under the bus, they did.

***a moment of clarity??

Erika: Except for me, because I persuaded that f'ing blonde bitch to vote Will out instead...and now she's being played by Will in sequester.
Boogie: (calling Erika on her crap) Oh, I thought she was straight jealous.

***this was Erika's previous assessment.

Erika: Yeah, she's that too.
Erika: Janelle wanted all the women out, so she could have all the guys around protecting her.

Erika goes away for a moment, and Boogie seems quite greatful! He asks the control booth:
Boogie: Should I tell her about Operation Double Date now?
The camera doesn't respond to him. He was looking for a nod.
Erika comes back... and Boogie totally calls Erika on her bs, and rises 20 steps in my personal estimation:

Boogie: No offense, but if Janie were in the final two, she has that thing that you don't.
Erika: That thing?
Boogie: The same kind of thing Will has that I don't, that je ne sais quoi, that makes people want to be around them and like them.

Erika holds tightly to her little blanket of denial, still convinced she could have beaten Janelle.

Erika continues to bash the jury, and mostly Janelle.
Erika: Why are they mad at me?? They're all just flip flopping till the end.
Erika: Janelle's jealous of my hot body. The reason I have such a hot body is I've never had a baby and I've danced for 25 years.
Erika: I wish I hadn't done allstars... It might taint our relationship.

With this, Boogie's had enough. He tells her about Operation Double Date.

Boogie: It was all in fun, but it will definitely be something you hear about.
Erika: What else? 'Cause my brother is big, protective and really into Martial Arts.
Boogie: Which in particular?
Erika: Nunchucks... he is one of the world.
Boogie: Oh Great!
Erika: Whatever, we were playing you as much as you were playing us.

Boogie laughs his butt off.

Nonplussed, Erika launches her tongue back down Boogie's throat. Boogie's words and actions make it quite clear, he'd rather be eating slop.

Erika's delusions continue well into the night, and extend well beyond Janelle. At 2:30am, here's what she had to say. lmao.

Erika: Will never protected you, Boogie, I did.
Boogie: You're making this point that Will played me. He didn't play me, I let him make me look the the hitman. Well, we'll see Tuesday.
Erika: Yeah, well, I took out the master.
Boogie: I could tell from thier tone of voices... I hate to break it to you.
Erika: But I took out the brains of Chilltown.

***lol! ok, i actually agree with her here, inasmuchas Will was the brains, heart and soul of chilltown, but it's not an offensive I'd advise launching whilst trying to get a guy.

Boogie: Are you sure? Watch the show.
Boogie's had enough. He's pissed, and he can't hide it anymore. He leaves the hot tub.
Erika: Why are you mad?
Boogie: Because you are insulting me.
Erika: Obviously after tonite I don't think I am going to win. Why are you mad?

***ok, sybil

Boogie: I don't have to be in his shadow.
Erika: But people who do the work don't get credit, it's the strategist.
Boogie: (indicating the two of them in the final 2) Why do you think this happened?
Erika: HE'S NOT HERE BECAUSE I VOTED HIS ASS OUT.

Erika: Boogie, come on. I told Janelle I would take her, 'cause I thought your game was better. I did not want to go up against you.
Boogie: So when did you decide? When did you lie to me? What would have happened if you won last part hoh?
Erika: I had decided I would let destiny decide. If I lost it was up to you, if I won I would decide then.
Boogie: Right then and there? So it was a little bit of a relief to lose.

Erika: Boogie!! Come here... Don't be mad at me, Boogie.
Erika: Boogie, Why are you mad at me?
Boogie: (decides to take the high road, for now) It's just a wierd position we're in and I'm buzzed and I had that turkey burger...
Erika: It's not weird. It's over.
Boogie leaves.
Erika: Brat. Fine. Go do your thing. Such an asshole.

Shortly, Erika goes in and takes a shower. Then she finds Boogie and tries to get him to talk to her, playing the "poor me" card.
Boogie: Listen, we are both buzzed. Let’s talk about it tomorrow at lunch.

Boogie goes to sleep. Erika, pissed she's not getting any, goes outside.

Erika: Piss off, Boogie.
Erika: We hate eachother.

Erika then goes on a mad hunt for a cigarette butt. She finds one, smokes it, then goes inside, stands over Boogie's bed, he's either sleeping or ignoring her, paces, takes a pill and goes to bed.

Discussing the Jury & Votes

2006-09-09T22:51:00.000-07:00

***Videos and more recaps added to end of post.

10:30BBT
Boogie: I was kind of hoping that tonight would illuminate one way or the other, but now it's more mysterious than before. One of the fencesitters that went the other way was Janelle.
Erika: I know I never really thought I had Janelle. The questions were very mysterious.

Erika: You could edge me out, with some of those questions. James asked me, "Why should I vote for you, if you deplored Alison's strategy, which was hooking up and floating?"
Boogie: I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think there's one f'ing person who's gonna decide it. George.
Boogie: I think I'll get James, Janelle, and Will. You'll get Dani, Howie, and Marcellas. George is up in the air.

Erika: Can we please have some wine?!
Boogie: Do you think you said everything you wanted to say?
Erika: Yes....I took out the biggest player... both of them...
Boogie: Marcellas, although, I think is such a random long shot. I wanted to kind of appeal to him, as in, you're the face of the game, you host Housecalls. I wanted to say I gave everything a chance, I want him to vote for the best player. He clearly has a better relationship with you, and should vote for the best player.

Erika: Janelle's gonna look like a jealous, stupid girl.
Boogie: She sounded like that girl at the club who you're trying to calm down...
Erika: She's like, you're prettier than me! I'm like, OK, calm down, chubby girl!

***bite me, skeletor.

Erika: She asked me, "Was ass kissing and throwing comps part of your strategy?"

***Go Janie.

Boogie: Out of this whole group, no one should speak badly about throwing comps. We ALL did it.
Erika: She's a hypocrite.
Boogie: They're all hypocrites.

MUCH more to come... I'll attach it here beneath this post. Check back.

Boogie: These were some shark ass MFers up in here. They're all hypocrites. Dani has no f'ing right to question me... If she doesn't vote for me, that's fine. But don't use that as an excuse. I'm f'ing happy with what I did, though. I hate watching reality shows at the end, where, like, people retreat. I lied to everyone up there, but George and Will, and the only reason I didn't lie to George was I didn't have to. I talked to him about the game maybe 15 minutes total, the whole season.

Erika: The only person who really went off was Janelle. She's jealous.
It'll be a good finale. Janelle's just pissed because she didn't get what she wanted.
Boogie: Yeah, for the second year in a row....

Here are a couple of videos... (and more recaps beneath)

Boogie: Janelle was f'ing nuts. Just like, AAAHHHH, hold on, I'm not done!!
The dude was like, hold on, we're not done, there's a delay....

Erika: That was weird, Boogie! They like, hate me! I'm like, what did I DO!?! I was the nice one!

Boogie: I did feel like, no offense to you, that the tone of the group was more in my favor. Your game play, your style, if you will, it's quieter, so it sneaks up on people, and when it happens, they're f'in bitter, they're like oh, she coasted. Someone like Will who feels like they worked their ass off then you came in and made one move...

How Erika made it to the Final 2

2006-09-09T22:44:00.000-07:00

Just want to send a shout out to immunegb5, who created this video! I found it quite amusing and very accurate :P

The Jury is Out

2006-09-09T22:30:00.000-07:00

The feeds are back. Boogie and Erika are talking about the jury questions. Time to turn em back on folks. This is actually good.

The Tip Jar

2006-09-09T20:53:00.000-07:00

For those of you who've been leaving us comments and messages asking how you can make a donation.... After debating it for a couple days, we've come to the conclusion that a little tip jar here on the sidebar of the blog doesn't necessarily violate our personal ethics, and in fact, could be quite nice!

Please do with it what you will, and know that we've loved doing this blog all summer and we're looking forward to many more seasons of BB with you all!

And please don't think of the donation tab as an obligation, by any means.

Also, I'll be posting preliminary thank you's to all the donators in the comments section of this post, so if you see some random stuff in there, referring to things that aren't evident.. that's what that is. ;)

Audio of the Jury

2006-09-09T20:10:00.000-07:00

***Update***
It's now 10:05pm BBT, and the feeds are still on flames, which means the Jury Q&A is still going on. We'll let you know when anything happens... By the way, both Will and Dani's voices were definitely on that audio clip, so it doesn't look like they've been dismissed from the jury for sneaking out. Also, Howie, James, Marcellas and George could all be heard, so the rumor of someone being kicked out for fighting is just that, a rumor.

Original Post:
The lunatics are back to the asylum. ;) The Jury that is. We couldn't see them, but this is what was audible, before the flames came on... and the Jury Questions to the Final Two began. Worth noting, is Janelle was not with the group yet. Before they cut the feeds, it was unknown to the jury members who the final 2 were.

For those with youtube issues:
7:35pm BBT
Dani: I don't wanna go first.
Dani: Somebody else go first.
Will: Heads up.
Howie: I farted.

Crew: Stand by...Action

Will: ... not laughing.

From the sound of it, they are entering the jury area, and the crew is filming them.

Marcellas: Not gonna take that over.
Howie: Hey Georgie.
Chicken George: (laughing) James always has the same look on his face.
Dani: I can't help it.
Dani: I'm ready for these people.
Howie: I'm glad I'm not here in my underwear. It's freezing out here!
Unindentifiable HG Voice: Dude....I wish you would just strip down dog (sounded like Jase)
Crew Member: Does anyone have gum?
Dani: Do I have to spit it out?
Howie: Spit it over the fence?
James: Give it to me.
Howie: I have to take a pee.
Crew: Walk them back around, and check the lighting.
Crew: Do you want us to stop and spin around? Checking your faces...
Howie: Can I pee in the bushes real quick?
Will: Yeah, pee dude
Will and James are both encouraging Howie to pee in the bushes.

Crew Member: I'll take you to the bathroom after this shot.

Howie: I think I stepped in dog shit.
Dani: I need a tissue. My nose is running.
Will: Howie's gotta take a dump guys.
Howie: I do! Nerves...
Will: Ladies, remember to look mad.

Janie's Mom Speaks

2006-09-09T19:32:00.000-07:00

What its really like to be the Mother of an All Star
by Ann Pierzina-Killian

Truly, I can only speak for myself. But I can only imagine what the other parents went through also. Many of the same things. I will start by addressing CBS; I believe we should have had the contact numbers or emails of the other parents from the get go, or at least a private chat room for venting and support. Here goes

As an All-Star Mom, were pros at this now right? This is our 2nd time around. Yikes!! For four of us, its pretty fresh.
Lets go back to round one. When I was first told by my kid, that she was going to be on a reality show, I asked; Whats that? All she said was; Oh Mom, just watch it on July 6. Youll see me there! When she entered the BB house last season, it was my very first episode of Big Brother. Lets set the record straight. This is not a reality show. This is an UN-reality show!
And Oh Boy, Did I ever see her there! And in 15 million other places on the internet.
For the first 2 weeks I was totally stressed out! It dawned on me that 2 million people were watching every move my kid makes, and picking her apart like a rag doll.
I was shocked into reality when I browsed all the BB sites!
I wasnt warned about this!

I did not want to see my child slandered, made fun of, or hurt in any way.
Being a spiritually deep woman, I gave her to God. It dawned on me real quick, she would need His love & protection in this crazy & hostile environment. I also started asking others to lift her in prayer. I started seeing a change. It was a good change.

When it was announced once again, she would be going back on the show, it was like Oh boy, here we go again.. Get ready for the emotional roller coaster.

Watching the feeds:
(And I'd be surprised if there was a parent who did NOT subscribe for the live feeds.)
Lou Gordon hit the nail on the head last year when he said; It was like getting my kid back for the summer! He was right. For me it went a bit further: it was like really getting to know my kid as an adult for the first time. You raise these children to the best of your abilities; they go off into the big bad world. You really have no idea how they truly turned out. All you can do is hope for the best.

The feeds were a bit addicting( to say the least.) It was very comforting to watch your child sleep. It was funny to see many of the same habits & characteristics they had as children surface in the house. It is very endearing to hear them talk about you, and realize you mean more to them, then you could ever of hoped for or imagine.
Seeds planted, and tended with care, build strong roots and bear beautiful fruit.

It is agonizing to see them hurt. There is nothing you can do. When your child is hurt, scared or sad, you cannot reach into that screen and surround them. You just have to sit there and feel it too.

When your child cries. You cry.
When they are lied to and betrayed, you feel betrayed. You get angry. When they are scum-bagged, you do not like that scum bagger. When they are played, you do not like that player. When they are lied to, you do not like that liar.
How many times do we have to keep telling ourselves; Its just a game! Its just a game! Its really, just a game!

It is with great pride, when you see the person they've become. When they are real. When they are genuine. Polite. Generous. When they are true to themselves and their alliances. When they win competitions, or help their alliances win. It brings joy to see such a competitive, winning spirit.

It is with fear & apprehension, when they might do, or say something that you do not want the rest of the world to see or hear. Including everyone in your hometown, your whole family , your co-workers and just about everyone you know. When they get too sippy, (BB, you really need to watch the alcohol allotments) you want to reach right in there and say ok! Youre cut off kid. Remember now youre on National TV!
What about their hormones?? And yes, this age has more then they know what to do with! OMG! This is waaaay more then a mother ever needed to know about. Please maintain your dignity in there, oh child of mine! Wheeeew!

It can be a bit annoying, to have to talk BB with everyone you run into, and feel you have to explain to them what is going on. Like go to BigBrother.com and figure it out! Puuuhleeze!

The Big Brother House lurks in your conscience and your sub conscience the whole time they are locked within those walls. How many times have you awoken in the middle of the night and said; I wonder if they are all right? Or wondered what they are doing?
It has a trickle down effect in all other aspects of your life. The longer they are in there, the more power that house has over you. And I am speaking from two FULL SEASONS right down to the last 3 days. (BOTH TIMES dang it!)

When they leave that house, it is with great relief. Uh huh. It is. . . Your protective mode can finally come down. What an exhausting state to be in for 3 months.

It is with great surprise, and pride and joy to see the support from the million trillion fans. This show is bigger then I could ever imagine it to be. WOW!
The fans have picked me up and carried me when I've been hurt or down more than once.
The fans have celebrated with me and loved on me. Thanks be to them!

It is with fascination, as I watch the bond that these houseguests have made for life. That for the most part it was just a game in the BB house. Outside of it, they have built many friendships for life. I find myself forgiving the other houseguests for the awful things they have said and done to my child. Especially when they are looking you in the eye and are remorseful. They don't have to ask for my forgiveness.

Again I'll say I needed and longed for the other Mommie-Mommies of the BB All Stars during this time. More than once .

Erin Looks Pretty Happy

Patrons brave chilly night for S.F. Opera gala
Carolyne Zinko, Chronicle Staff Writer

Friday, September 8, 2006
(09-08) 19:53 PDT -- The San Francisco Opera's 84th opening night gala may not have had the weather in its favor with blustery winds whipping carefully executed hairdos and elaborate gowns, but there were warm feelings all around from more than 3,000 attendees who ponied up hundreds, and in some cases, tens of thousands of dollars, to attend the dinner and show.

The event, one of San Francisco's more important civic events and arts fundraisers, drew social and political luminaries from international socialite Lynn Wyatt of Houston and Rep. Nancy Pelosi and her husband, Paul, to bigwig Democratic party donors Markos Kounalakis and his wife, Eleni and even Rosemarie Bravo, the top executive at Burberry fashion house, who came from London.

Opera General Director David Gockley, marking his first season-opener with Verdi's "Un Ballo in Maschera," starring soprano Deborah Voigt, spent 33 years as the general director for the Houston Grand Opera. Wyatt was one of a contingent of Texas friends, including world-famous pianist Van Cliburn, who formed a home team of sorts to fly in and lend a reassuring touch to the big night.

"I was very sad to see him go,'' Wyatt said. "San Francisco is very lucky.''

Some 800 patrons paid up to $5,000 each or up to $50,000 a table to attend a cocktail party, performance and a 10 p.m. dinner-dance following the performance. The dinner featured poached Maine lobster in a Cardinale sauce, held in a tent adjoining the opera house. Younger supporters of the opera had dinner at City Hall.

Erika - Boogie "Tribute"

2006-09-09T11:45:00.000-07:00

This very funny "tribute" vid, set to the tune of "The Addams Family" was created by ImmaMeanGirl! I saw it earlier this morning, and was hemming and hawing on putting it up, but per your requests... here it is. Enjoy!

Classic Janie Tribute

2006-09-09T10:55:00.000-07:00

Digging through the vaults this Saturday afternoon... This video put together by BigBroWatcher last year in honor of Janelle is terrific! It's set to a country tune called "Unbelievable," and it's non-stop fun! Enjoy! :)

Reality Check

2006-09-09T09:37:00.000-07:00

Just a little trip down memory lane to last summer, and all the romantic hopes from the feeders for Kaysar and Janelle - and that was without the hardcore flirt game. ;) Whatever happens to Janelle and her men: may they remain the best of friends... Check this one out... it's a great way to put things into perspective.

"So Much for My Happy Ending"

An Erika Update

2006-09-09T01:08:00.000-07:00

9pm BBT, Friday night
While Boogie is outside soaking in the jacuzzi and congratulating himself on the volume of his belching, Erika is pacing the length of the house, back and forth, talking to herself and the internet.

***blissfully unaware that the vast majority of the live feeders turned off the feeds thursday night at 9pm EST.

Erika: Oooh! That's such a good speech! I love it.
Erika: I had his best friend put up by his girlfriend! You know I deserve it!

***We know nothing of the sort.

Erika: I'm the new puppetmaster.

***whatever you say, crazy girl.
Just step away from the sharp objects.

Erika: Will was dangerous. Very, very dangerous. Unbelievable... He never had to win a comp and he got to the final four. Unbelievable.

***Didn't think it was possible, but liking her even less now.

Erika is sitting atop the dining room table, swinging her legs back and forth now, practicing her speech.
Erika: Who's the puppet master now, Will?
Erika: And you, You are not the strongest player. You are just the one most seduced by the puppet master. I seduced the puppet master's ally.
Erika: (addressing the internet) You know who the real winner is, don't you. Yes! you do, you do, you do!

***yeah.. uh huh.. we do... she's sitting by herself in a hotel right now.

Erika: Now I see verrrrrrry clearly, but I still like the puppet master's ally. he's kinda cute.

A Bible Quote

2006-09-08T23:58:00.000-07:00

I was just checking out one of our myspace friends profiles, and in her blog, she had the following quote from the bible. It was so apropos to Big Brother, and specifically the final 2, I had to post it here... I'd love to know your thoughts on this:

"For people will only love themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control; they will be cruel and have no interest in what is good. They will betray friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act as if they are religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. You must stay away from people like that." 2 Tim 3:2-5

Perhaps the real winners are long since gone from the house. I know I can think of a couple...

Escapees?

2006-09-08T22:06:00.000-07:00

***This is not a rumor. This is fact. If you'd like to see the video, we have the link at the end of this post.

According to our sources, Will and Danielle and possibly other sequestered houseguests were spotted outside of the sequester house. According to the rumor, which our sources now say is confirmed, they were seen at a local Karaoke bar in Palm Desert, CA, playing golf and singing karaoke. The producers found out about it and took them back to the house.

Our source has spoken with some highly placed individuals and has confirmed this to be true, as well as the existence of photographic evidence.

The news station that reported it is Channel 2 News, KPSP in Palm Desert, CA. The website is www.cbstv2.com. We've yet to see any picures up on their site yet. We'll be on it.. and we'll let you know as soon as we hear any more.

John Harrington at the breaking news desk for CBS 2 Palm Springs News informs us that the story is not on the website, because it was not a part of the nightly news report. It was, in fact, on a PM Magazine type show, produced by the station called "Eye on the Desert"

Add this to the rumor about someone being thrown out for fighting, and it seems there may be a reason for the public to vote after all. Here's that link to vote again:We, The Jury. Lol.. this could be the most interactive season ever, after all.

***UPDATE***
Here is a pic!!

OOOH! I found the video!!

-->CLICK HERE<--
to view it on the cbs affiliate site
(from whence it came)

Here's the voiceover from the video:
"The all-stars from the hit CBS show, "Big Brother", are secretly shacking up in our town... Or maybe not so secretly, thanks to our Eye on the Desert spies. The "Big Brother All-Stars" have been in town for about a week after hurricane John forced them to abandon their original location, Cabo San Lucas in Mexico.

The reality stars were sighted at a restaurant-bar in Indio, singing karaoke, playing some golf, and well... from the picture, as you can probably tell, drinking. But they weren't there for long... Once the producer of "Big Brother" found out what was going on, he put a stop to it."

Janelle Housecalls Clip

2006-09-08T20:24:00.000-07:00

Janelle Tells What Will was Whispering!! ... a little bit, anyway... ;) AND she looks and sounds MUCH better than she did on the brutally Early Show this morning.
Go Janie, Go!

Janelle Rocks

2006-09-08T19:55:00.000-07:00

C=Venus strikes again with this glam chop of Our Lady Janelle, a la Marylin Monroe. The Winningest (yes, that's really a word) Competitor in Big Brother History - Long may she reign.

Marcellas' REAL Reaction

2006-09-08T17:48:00.000-07:00

Now that Janelle is gone and only Boogie and Erika are left, the feeds are quite boring. While searching for something entertaining to post, I stumbled across this video. I know Marcellas was the first to the sequester house and this is old news but this was Marcellas' real reaction to his nomination. True Marcellas style!

Janelle on the Early Show

2006-09-08T17:31:00.000-07:00

For all of those asking, here is the video of Janelle on the CBS Early Show!

The Full Interview

2006-09-08T14:29:00.000-07:00

Here's Janelle's full interview with TheSlug:

Nooooooooooooo! Janelle Pierzina, the houseguest The Slug officially endorsed as America's Choice back in June, was the final person evicted from the "Big Brother 7: All Stars" house last night after she failed to win the final Head of Household competition. That leaves Mike "Boogie" Malin and his bedmate Erika Landin as the final two players to vie for jury votes Tuesday. Our weepy post-eviction interview with our favoritest player ever after the jump.

LISTEN: What would've happened if Dr. Will kissed Janelle on the lips?

The Slug: Hi Janelle. How are you?

Janelle Pierzina: Hi Derrik. I'm great. How are you?

TS: I'm not very good.

JP: You're not?

TS: I'm very upset. You got evicted!

JP: I'm sorry. I couldn't do it again.

TS: Yes. As you may or may not remember after this crazy summer, you were officially endorsed by me at the very beginning of the season.

JP: Yeah, no. I remember you. Of course.

TS: What happened? What went wrong?

JP: It was completely my fault. The last competition was a fluke. Whatever. I switched hands. So I couldn't compete in the final. The other competition was the car suspended from the air or whatever. That was a physical competition. There was no way I could beat that. It was kind of geared toward a male, I think. Whatever. I knew I was toast.

TS: Well, you did make a power play there at the end and win back a lot of respect, I think. What happened with Will? Was that all game? Did you really have feelings for him?

JP: I think it started out as game. Obviously after Howie left, I knew I kinda needed him. I think for him he was all game and toward the end, I think because we had spent so much time together, I was starting to get a little bit of feelings for him. We couldn't really talk about it because we didn't want it on the Internet. You know what I mean? It was weird. We couldn't talk about it. But yeah, I had feelings for him.

TS: What did you see in him?

JP: Who knows? It was the environment. In the house, you get to know people so well. There's even family members I don't spend that much time with. I think being in the house with someone for three days is equivalent to dating someone for three months. It's just so intense because you're always together. I liked him as a person. I thought he was funny. He was really smart. He interested me.

TS: Why did it take you and Erika so long to figure out you were being played by Chill Town?

JP: There were several indications. I just couldn't put my finger on it. I started to realize it when I put "Chicken" George and Erika up and Boogie was not voted out and "Chicken" George was. I think it took us so long because the boys had pinned us so far against each other. I was hating her in the game. For me, I just wanted to hang out with Will and didn't want to see anyone else in the house. And he kept it that way. He never left me alone. So I never talked to Erika. The game was over for me so it didn't matter for me to spill a few secrets. I asked her if Chill Town asked her to be a part of Chill Town and she said "Yes!" and that's when we realized it.

TS: If things had gone further with you and Will, would you have taken him to the end?

JP: Obviously, I was targeting Boogie for several weeks. I think if I would've gotten Boogie out, I probably would've taken Will to the final two. I wouldn't have had another target.

TS: Why didn't y'all get rid of Chill Town earlier? Everyone knew they were a threat.

JP: We knew they were aligned. We could've gotten rid of them in the end. And in the end I would've been dealing with Nakomis and Jase. You can only take people out one at a time. And I think at that time, competition-wise, Nakomis was a bigger threat — and so was Jase, who's, you know, psycho. The thing is we didn't want the floaters to float. We wanted them to play.

TS: Knowing what you know now, what would you have done differently?

JP: I would've got rid of Boogie week six. Instead of putting Marcellas up, I would've put him up. I could've said I was putting him up as a pawn. I'm sure the guys in my alliance would've much rather gotten rid of him. That was a huge, stupid mistake for not putting Boogie up.

TS: How do you feel about going into sequester?

JP: It's really sad. I don't really get to go see my houseguests. They're making me stay in a hotel room by myself. I really wanted to go see Will and Howie and Marcellas and hang out with them. They're not gonna let me see them until the round-table where we ask the final two questions.

TS: Since you basically witnessed everything that happened, what are you going to say to the jury?

JP: I think I'm going to discuss with the jury what Erika and I had discovered. I don't know who I'm voting for yet. It's 50/50. I don't know who I want to try and persuade the jury to vote for. I want to vote for the best player.

TS: How does it feel to be evicted at the same point in the game as you were before?

JP: I have mixed feelings about it. To make final three with the huge target on my back was extremely hard so I feel proud. But getting third place? It's not fun. You don't get any money. You know what I mean? It's so close. It's just like I was last year. I guess everything happens for a reason.

TS: Well, Janelle. Thanks for answering my questions. I was rooting for you all summer. It's sad, but it was fun that my official endorsement got this far.

JP: I know, right? That's awesome. Thank you for your support.

TS: You're welcome. You didn't really need my help.

No Sequester for Janie!

2006-09-08T13:10:00.000-07:00

Why aren't they letting Janelle go to sequester?????

The Slug: How do you feel about going into sequester?

Janelle P: It's really sad. I don't really get to go see my houseguests. They're making me stay in a hotel room by myself. I really wanted to go see Will and Howie and Marcellas and hang out with them. They're not gonna let me see them until the round-table where we ask the final two questions.

***Unbelievable!! Talk about adding insult to injury! I really hope everyone's voting, and not relying on the next guy to take it on...

To Vote for Janie: Text the number 7 to 81818. Surely our girl deserves your 50 cents.

Jun's Take

2006-09-08T11:20:00.000-07:00

Check out past BB winner Jun's take on the finals... and the game as a whole.

"I have Boogie to win 6-1.

For those of you out there who have emailed me saying Erika's better than Janelle...I ACKNOWLEDGE Erika's finesse in joining Janelle at the end. HOWEVER, it was best for Janelle too to get rid of Will. I did the same thing with Ali and had her boot Ratbert...but it was too her benefit also.

So don't tell me Erika's better than Janelle at anything besides skeeving people...and scaring infants...

I'm glad it's almost over because I really can't stand much of Erika and Booger anymore...BUT I'm sure we will be treated to one or two more "Champagne on me...Dolce/Les Deux/Wherever..." from Booger. GOD, it irks me when he does that...like there aren't enough DECENT places people could eat...please, free food with bad company just gives me diarrhea..."

Ask and you shall receive... Here's the clip of Will arriving to the jury house.

Unfortunately this video has been removed from youtube. We are aware of the issue and working on finding a replacement.

And Mike's so sad solo call to Will in the Diary Room,
immediately post Will's eviction.
We miss him as much as you do, Boogie.

Jack's Take

2006-09-07T23:35:00.000-07:00

Jack - Revenge of the Houseguests (CBS)
9/7/06 10:33 pm
"Erika went into the finals with the player she had the most chance of beating. Still, I think that Boogie will have more votes in the jury after Will convinces the other jurors that his turkey friend is really an eagle.

Let me see,which has more appeal? Boogie winning BB7 or getting a root canal? Excuse me while I get a root canal.

The vote (I'm the only voter) is in for the Emmy awards for the BB7 All Stars.

For best performances in the Diary Room: Will and Boogie together, Will alone, and Will with Janelle. Honorable mention in the DR: Boogie for his lonely attempt to call Will after Will's eviction.

For best late night harangue while under the influence: Danielle.

For best performance without a strategy: George

For the couple most fun to watch having sex: No winner.

For best entry on the Revenge of the House Guests Blog: Jun, questioning Erika's judgement in exposing herself to the bacteria in Boogie's mouth. "

You, The Jury

2006-09-07T23:28:00.000-07:00

"In the event that one of the jury members is unable to perform their duties, which of the 2 finalists would you vote to win Big Brother Allstars?" So goes the question posed on the cbs website. I wonder what they have up their sleeves now... if anything.

In any case, there's no charge to vote. Just click here:You, the Jury

Boogie & Erika Celebrate

2006-09-07T19:34:00.000-07:00

Boogie & Erika are the final 2. No matter your feelings about the players, or our disappointment with the lack of Janie, it is what it is, and as the good sports we all are (myslef included), we need to acknowledge the win, congratulate them and move on.

To their credit, they're both being very introspective and having a nice re-hash of the whole season... including very high praise for Janie and most of the rest of the cast. And they are both in complete shock to be where they are... humbly so. At the moment, they're in front of the memory wall giving praise all around. For those of you who have turned the feeds off already... Give 'em another shot. I think you'll like what you see.

Boogie: "This is the craziest thing..."

PreShow Chatter

2006-09-07T15:47:00.000-07:00

3:50pm - 4:15pm BBT
All the HGs are in separate areas of the house. Janie's in the Workout room primping for the live show. Erika's lying down, blinking, fighting back tears, and looking very agitated and upset. Boogie's lying on the floor with a t-shirt over his eyes. The only sound on the feeds is the squeak of Janie's curling iron.

Suddenly, Erika's up like a shot, and moving around. Kinda manic. She fixes her hair in the mirror and leaves the room, making her way through the living room, the kitchen and into the workout room with Janie, where she settles to join Janie in the pre-show primp-a-thon.

Workout Room - Erika & Janie
Both are getting ready for the live show... putting makeup on.
Janelle: At least if I go to the sequester house, I get to be with Will.
They are talking about what Boogie has said to each of them.
Erika: He's just being really nice.
Jani: He asked me who I would vote for. I said, "the best player."
Erika: I wish you had won last night.
Janie: PLEASE win tonight.

CUT TO:
Boogie up and walking around. He pops in to the workout room, and asks for some eye concealer stuff, then goes to take a shower.

4:05pm BBT
WORKOUT ROOM - Erika & Janie
Janelle: Do you think what Boogie said about Will was true? That he didn't do a shout-out to his girlfriend because he really cared? Or do you think he just said it to get my jury vote?
Erika: Do not believe anything.

Hope springs eternal: Janelle is still wondering what could be with Will.
The girls move on to discussing Danielle. Wondering if Dani knew about Chilltown, and how they were operating.

Janelle: I'm worried that Chicken George might feel I betrayed him.
Janelle: I had a deal with him.
Erika: (smiles) I had a deal with Chicken George too.

Harbinger of Doom?

2006-09-07T14:54:00.000-07:00

OK, Boogie's no Sampson, but Janie's definitely Delilah. Here's hoping this haircut is the final harbinger of doom for Chilltown. Go Janie, Go!

Holy Hell

2006-09-07T14:39:00.000-07:00

OMG! OMG! OMG! F my damn perspective - There is hope!

It appears my hopes may be on the mark. Erika just came out of the DR, and is sitting by herself at the dining room table, while Mike and Janie are off in the bathroom, cutting his hair.

Janie fans... Listen up!

Erika: I gotta win this HoH.
Erika: I gotta evict MIke. he has got to go.
Erika: Janelle was the Competition girl, and I was the go-to pawn Girl. Nice going, boys.
Erika: (looking directly at camera) Will, I am the master manipulator. Not you, kiddo.

My 2 Cents

2006-09-07T14:04:00.000-07:00

aka
Coffee & Perspective

After a strong dose of Cuban Coffee, and another for the road, I just took the opportunity to take a little drive around the beautiful little island I call home, and which I've seen far too little of lately, and put it all into perspective. Here's what I've come up with:

As far as this game goes, Janie has a few flaws: 1. She's too easily influenced, 2. She's too trusting, 3. She's too quick to anger where matters of the heart are concerned. She'll be the first to admit it. In the outside world, neither of these is gonna kill ya, but in the big brother house, it just might... especially when you're so damn good in every other aspect of the game. Strategy and mind games are, however unfortunately for Janelle, a larger part of the game... especially since, even Jedi Janie loses every now and then, and when she does... Look Out!

Taking a moment to step back and think objectively, absolutely everyone who entered the house did so with the hope and intention of winning this game, and they should and will do everything in their power to make it happen. It's both foolish and short-sighted to think anything else. This isn't an ethics seminar, it's Big Brother. Deceit is the mandate.

For the above stated reasons, as much as I would love to see Janelle in the final two, I don't see it happening. It's BB suicide for both Boogie and Erika, and they both know it. Bringing her almost guarantees both Mike and Erika a 2nd place spot, and no matter how much we root for one player over another, we can't honestly expect someone to roll over and play dead so Janie can win. Against eachother, Mike and Erika are on pretty equal ground.

Janie's only hope at the moment, is if Erika is playing the hell out Boogie, so he'll feel overly confident going into the final round of the HoH comp, and so subsequently, she can win it and send him into a worse shock than when Will was evicted... by choosing Janelle over him for the final 2. Can you even imagine the look on his face, if this is the case? I have hope, which was bolstered when Erika, leaving a conversation with Boogie said, "Such a prick" under her breath this morning, after a brief encounter during which he was blowing untold amounts up smoke up her skirt.

I have hope. But not much. As Erika also said to Janie how much she wished she could have beaten him in round 2... which I took as a pre-cursor to what seems the obvious. Here's hoping Erika is not planning on tanking the comp, and is instead just setting Mike up for the ultimate betrayal. Hey, it's all I got.

All we can do now is watch and wait and hope.. and remember that this is Allstars, and every minute, every word, every game and every little bit of strategy counts. The best against the best... and may the best man or woman win.

I have nothing nice to say, and I need coffee, so while I go get it, have a look at C=Venus' new chops, and I'll be back in a few with the morning update. As always, C=Venus rocks chop-world.

Sequester House Video

2006-09-07T03:57:00.000-07:00

By popular demand... Here's the video of the sequester house, and the escape from hurricane John. The house is gorgeous. The rest: not so pretty. It's like something has snapped. Perhaps Dr. Zachary would like a nice little trip to whereever the sequester house is?

Erika Scumbags Janie

2006-09-07T03:18:00.000-07:00

I'm seething... but I'm not surprised. The ultimate floater, indeed.

The following 2 videos take place around 2:30am BBT, and show Erika telling Boogie everything that's been discussed between her and Janie. Boogie swears on some family members that he'll take her to the finals. And, it's not in either of these videos, but... Erika kisses him. I want to puke.

One more part to go
tomorrow night on the live show
and the new and final HoH
of the season
will be known to all.

09/07/06 12:20am BBT
Boogie's in the DR - in addition to winning the comp, he won a car.
The girls are in the Kitchen.
Janie: What are we going to do?
Erika: We have to win the next one.
Janie: This sucks. I think they want him to win the whole thing.

Erika: Who do you think Boogie will take to the finals if he wins the final HoH?
Janie: It doesn't matter. He will win anyway. He told me he would take me, but I don't know for sure.

Janie: (talking about the comp) It was totally geared for him to win it. For guys. Total upper body strength. There was no way I could have won. He was a full 2 minutes faster than me.

Boogie come out of the Dr and Janie heads in.
Boogie is now talking to Erika.

Boogie: I'm definitely taking you to the final 2, if I win. There's no way Janelle can be beaten in the finals because she has all her friends there.

Erika: I was planning on taking you all along. I told Janelle that.

Erika asks Boogie to throw her the last comp, so she can evict Janelle. Boogie declines the offer.

Boogie: Why would you want me to do that?
Erika: You pretty much asked me to do the same thing.

Boogie stutters and dances around it.

Janie comes out of the DR and Erika goes in.

Janie: What did Erika say?
Boogie: She asked me to throw the last comp.
Janie: What?!
Boogie: I said no. I'd rather call my own destiny.
Janie: So what are you going to do.

Boogie wont give her a straight answer.

***Shit!!

Boogie: I have to think about it... see who's my best chance... I'd rather see you win, but I have to think about it. Even though I can't win against either of you...
Boogie: Erika is very persuasive... and she has a good relationship with the jury... and you're like a Demi-God.
Boogie: I hate this game.
Janelle: Me too. I'm sick of eating this food!

Hey Will Cap

A day to Remember

2006-09-06T22:27:00.000-07:00

There are days in my life that I will remember forever! Particular events that were so shocking, I remember where I was, what I was doing, at the moment they happened. Well, yesterday was NOT one of those days!! However, Boogie will always remember!

Mike and Chicktown

2006-09-06T21:56:00.000-07:00

The Feeds went to FLAMES 30 minutes ago at 9:45pm BBT... We're 99.99% sure the second part of the HoH Comp is going on now. Here's a good conversation that preceeded it.

Janelle: Do you think I made the right decision?
Boogie: Yeah, if you want to eat the whole "bread" yourself.
Janelle: Huh?
Boogie: If you want to bake the "bread" yourself, you made the right decision.

Boogie: Now that he left, everything came to focus. I realize you made the right decision. But, it will give me second place...
Janelle: The jury house really hates you guys.
Boogie: Yeah, 2nd place isn't so bad.
Janelle: You don't think you'll win? Do you think Erika will vote for you?
Boogie: Hmmmmm I don't know - I saw a different person yesterday. When she said "checkmate."
Janelle: I know. I was Will's friend. I can't take her.
Boogie: She didn't do anything. You oughta take me.
Janelle: I know, I think I have a better chance with you. Who do you think you'll get?
Boogie: Maybe James, maybe Erika. I can't get 4. George idolizes you, Howie idolizes you, Danielle said she'll vote for the best player.
Janelle: She'll have to vote for me.

***"So when did you know you were confident?" ;)

Boogie: Yeah, I scumbagged all those people. Will told me, "you get these people out, Boogie, you've never been here before, you hope for the best at the end."
Janelle: Yeah, but Will set the jury house up for HIM to win.
Boogie: Yeah. But not for me. He knew I was the rah-rah guy. Whenever I won, he didn't really celebrate. When I lie in bed and think about it now, replaying everything in my head, he just- in the big moments - he wanted me there, he wanted me in the finals, but.....I was just concerned that she (Erika) had you fooled, that she had convinced you to take HER to the Final 2
Janelle: No, not at all. I think I would probably lose to her. Yeah, but she is so WELL LIKED
Mike: huh?
Janelle: She is so well-liked!
Mike: Yeah....I think you've put yourself in a good position to take the whole thing. If you win tonight....
Janelle: Yeah, I'll beat her tomorrow, and then I'll take you. (smiles) But do you think I can beat her though? Tomorrow?
Mike: In the questions? Yeah.
Janelle: But she's been throwing them! She's always said, well, I'll win HoH when I need to.
Mike: You are the competititor of all time.

Janelle: I can't believe you jumped off!
Mike: You're a big favorite. Just do what you always do, relax.
Janelle: I think Erika thinks she can beat me.
Mike: She could, you know. She didn't do any of the dirty work. She kept her hands clean. The only dirty work she did was get rid of Danielle.
Janelle: Danielle will get over it, she's gonna vote for Erika. They were in the alliance of the misfits, you know?
Mike: She'll get over it, but she'll still vote for the best player.
Janelle: She will?
Mike: Just get up, and answer everybody's questions. You weren't really a bitch to anybody, you know like "bye bye bitches."

Janelle: (a little sad) What do you think Will is going to tell the jury house?
Mike: Will has a real life. He probably moved on 20 minutes after left here, he's not Howie. They're probably having a good time.

Mike: I'm dying to see him... if he wanted to save his relationship, he had the perfect opportunity to do so, and he didn't.
Janelle: What do you mean?
Mike: When he said to Julie, we'll be friends, he ended it. He could have said right there on live tv... his girlfriend is definitely watching... "I love my Girlfriend," but he didn't. I think that more than he wants to admit, he has real feelings for you.
Janelle: You really do?
Mike: I really do. He's a player. You think, is this guy for real? There's no doubt a portion of it, was for the games... On both sides. I think it started out that way, but the last 2 weeks he hasn't spent any time with me at all. I think he's into it really deep with you. Maybe I have a little bit more perspective now, because I talked to Dr Zachary about this last night, but I think he, deep down, wanted his girlfriend to see that show.

***I knew it!!! There was no other way he'd have come out of the DR so calm!

Janelle: You do?
Mike: I think you both entered into it, on a game level, but then you realized, wow this person is really cool. The thing is, with his girl, he's really cool. He's really impeccable. He doesn't carouse around. He's really a good boyfriend. In here, you guys sort of dated for like a month, and I couldn't believe it. I was just staring at him right there, like are you not going to take this moment and just say something to Erin right now?

Janelle: We could never talk about anything, because um..... (indicates the cameras)
Mike: Well, very soon you'll be able to talk about it, and we can all laugh about it. What was unique about the Final 4 and refreshing for him, it was cool to be here with people that, you know, have a life outside of the house.
Boogie: I feel bad about James. He's somebody I'd be friends with outside of here, but he was a threat. You just have to hope that people understand.
Janelle: He was a huge threat

Enter Erika.

Erika: Can I join you?
Janielle: Sure. We're just talking about Will. I miss him!
Erika: Willy! Willy!
Mike: He'll be ok. He has a life to go to after this. I'm sure he's having a bunch of laughs right now with those guys.
Erika: Yeah... He's a gamer.

Janelle: Do you think he would have thrown the competition still?
Mike: The endurance? Let's see... It would have been you, me and him? Yeah, he probably would have figured that you would stay up there forever. I didn't want him later going on, like, "Who's Alison?" I can't take that.
Janie: Yeah, like he's saying Who's Jenifer Aniston? C'mon Will!

Mike: Most likely, he would have chucked it... I put him on the spot one day, "Are you trying to win this without ever winning a competition again?" He swore to me deep down he wasn't, but I think he wanted to say he went 30+ times, never won, and won the game twice. We'll never know..

Will on HouseCalls

2006-09-06T19:42:00.000-07:00

First things First.. Will talks about his phone call with Erin. All is not hunky dory, but since she's been on and won a romance based reality tv show, he feels there is hope.

Next up... Will discusses the flaws in his game play with regard to the Janie flirtation. "Janelle wanted to kiss me... It was my downfall."

Chick Town Epiphany

2006-09-06T19:13:00.000-07:00

Erika and Janelle are in the bathroom talking while Janelle looks like she is getting ready for the second part of the HoH competition. They just put it ALL together! They now know that the game plan was to make everyone think that they were in Chill Town...James, Danielle, Janelle, Erika, Chicken George and so on.

Girls, I could have told you that weeks ago!!
What took ya so long?!!
Or, should I say, better late than never!!

Janelle: I wonder why Danielle didn't warn us more, unless she had something with them. (Chill Town)
Erika: She was with them. I tested her when I was HOH.
Janelle: I bet she thought she was part of Chill Town too.
Erika: OMG, she did!
Janelle: Yep, she thought she was sooo safe, so did James.
Erika: Damn, damn!
Janelle: They're good!
Erika: Yea.
Janelle: They had Danielle thinking she was part of Chill Town.
Erika: I was testing her when I said if Janelle wins veto and I put up Will, she said she'd keep him and get rid of Chicken George.
Janelle: Oh God, we've got to win this one or he (Boogie) will win the game. You know Will will be telling them "yeah, we played you guys".
Erika: Danielle as part of Chill Town. Shit!
Janelle: She was!
Erika: That's why her and Will...in the HOH. I won, she felt safe.
Janelle: Why would she tell Chicken George we had a truce?
Erika: Oh my God!
Janelle: We definitely took out the best player in the game.
Erika: Oh God, they played us so good.
Janelle: And everyone else, too!
Erika: Danielle as part of Chill Town, James was part of Chill Town, and they couldn't control Chicken George.
Janelle: They knew that he (CG) wanted to keep you and me in the game.
Erika: Oh my God! Holy shit those boys are really smart.
Janelle: Really smart!
Erika: We figured it out in tmie. Oh my f'in God! Now I want to have his baby. He didn't bank on the fact that we figured it out last night. They kept the hatred between us growing by telling each of us that they hated us. Damn that's good! Oh my God, that's really good!
Janelle: Will must be saying "how did my plan not work out?"
Erika: He didn't think I'd figure it out. He underestimated me. I might not be the most intelligent person but I can sometimes figure things out.
Janelle: Danielle was part of Chill Town.
Erika: Oh God! James and Danielle thought they were part of Chill Town, too. That's good, really good!
Janelle: Out of all those people they trusted, we would do what they wanted.
Erika: That's why they were both put in here. I'm in awe.
Janelle: Me too! That's why they always told everyone they were safe. Because everyone thought they (CT) were on their side.
Erika: They did not bank on me winning that veto. They were sending me home.
Janelle: Yep.
Erika: They were shocked! I should have seen it earlier. I was too busy flirting with him.
Janelle: Didn't you wonder why i was putting up Chicken George and not someone from Chilltown?
Erika: Yea, I should have seen it. I could have put it together but it was the fast forward week. That's why Danielle thought she was so safe!
Janelle: Yep.
Erika: You know what else was an indicator to me? You voted out James.
Janelle: Yep. Why would I vote out my own alliance?
Erika: I should have put it together ealier. I'm so f'in stupid.
Janelle: We got played!
Erika: It's good, it's really good. I've got to give it to them.
Janelle: They probably had James in on it early, too because James was in on voting out Howie.
Erika: That's why they wanted Howie out. Because they knew they couldn't get Howie and Marcellas, too. It's good!
Janelle: He (Will) was always like "Janelle, I'm crazy like a fox and you are like a bunny." He thinks he's so smart and they underestimated me!
Erika: They didn' think I'd figure it out. That's why he's (Boogie) trying to convince you I was playing him the whole time.
Janelle: Boogie isn't as good as him (Will)!
Erika: He never thought the 2 girls would get together.
Janelle: Oh my God! Will's goodbye message...
Erika: They are really good at this game!

HoH - Not Yet

2006-09-06T17:46:00.000-07:00

In case you're wondering, the second part of the HoH comp has NOT happened yet. As soon as it does, we'll be here with the results. In the meantime, think happy Janie thoughts. It's been workin' so far!! ;)
