But James just had a long talk with Howie yesterday how from now on, every decision they make has to be made collectively. Are you guys saying James will go back on that? James? Two-faced? Not possible.

I really don't think James will turn on season six - not this early. He might tease Howie a bit after what Howie did to him last season, but I don't think he'll betray them. Besides, by staying loyal to them, even letting them influence his noms, he sures up their loyalty to him down the road.

I think James will talk to Danielle but he will have a lot of talks with Janie and Kaysar too.

I think odds are good George goes up this week, but I'm hoping James just smiles and feeds up the ego of Chilltown while putting their butts on the block (you're the best player in BB history Will and you want to be nominated anyway and Mike is your wingman so it makes sense to put you both up, blah, blah, blah).

I actually hope Will doesn't get nominated. I wouldn't mind KG up there, or Jase, or Diane, or especially Booger, but Will wants out of there so badly, they should force him to stay. Even if I hate him.

I'm reasonably sure Jase will be one of the nominations. James seems to be the only one who's really onto Jase's schemes with playing both sides of the house, probably because he recognizes Jase's strategy as the one he tried last season. Heh.

Assuming Jase is one of the nominations, I think James is savvy enough to put up either Will or Booger as the second nom. That way, he gets one each of MMS and CT. And if one of them wins the Veto, it's not like he doesn't have plenty of other options.

My early guess is he puts up Jase and Will.

I'm convinced James is all talk and no action - lots and lots and lots of talk. If he doesn't put up George I'll be shocked. Good old George is the perfect nomination if you don't want to cause waves, and that's James.

I have a feeling Will and Boogie are gonna make it another week - yeah!

This is exactly what I just said to myself. Are you sure we're not psychically linked or maybe related in some way, Kimmie? I mean, it's starting to get just a little creepy...

Heh.

I third that sentiment. Jase and Booger is definitely the way to go...

If he feels like distancing himself from Kaysar's reign: Will and Boogie.

If he wants to take out a power player: Jase and Boogie.

If he's paranoid about conspiracy theories: Jase and Diane.

If he wants to avoid rocking the boat: George and one of Will/Boogie.

If he's an emotional dumbass: Erika and Marcellas.

Honestly, right now, of the S6ers, I have more faith in him than the other three to not screw things up with his nominations.

S6 needs to stop bitching about floaters. They are just going to push them into competing and then booting their (S6) asses out of there.

Well it's my first post, and being in the infinitely tiny minority anyway, you might as well make it somewhere. This season has definitely taken a toll on my gag reflex!

The decision to have four players from last season, all known to be more of the straightforward win-competitions type, has turned out disastrous for the show. The Kaysar week was boring even with drunken shenanigans and the usual Marcellian facetime flop.. another Season 6 winner is going to ultimately be boring, regardless of who squirms where. Numbers-wise, all they have to do is get "someone else" out, and they're good to go. The rest is shades of grey that don't matter in this black and white game, where we win, you go home.

It's like one of those wretched Survivor seasons where two tribes exist, and one gets mercilessly pounded in every immunity challenge, making the end-game an unwatchable mess. Sometimes we have somebody step with the drama or the random backstab, but the winning team battling it out is almost always lame.

If this were supposed to be a good and evil novel I bought, I'd want a refund! I'd be bored with good beating the everloving crap out of evil, I mean, by the third chapter!? And if I wanted to watch TV to see one side thrash another, I'd watch Duke preseason basketball when they play Holy Divinity or something.

Ever since X Factor, the twins and the horsemen, and the Sovs and Friendship.. it's all trench warfare, all the time, and it makes for comparatively boring weeks when you look at BB2 and BB3. Those were the best seasons, the most unpredictable, and the best feeds (especially banner-mania in BB2). Producers could have easily fixed this by capping each season at three all-stars in due fairness, and the result would be a much more interesting game at the present moment. The candy store environment we have now, for Season 6 sovreign fans, is all well and good, but it doesn't build new fans or retain old, returning fans IMO. It's more an attempt to put last season right by stacking the deck with a "good" powerhouse alliance. Putting some clowns out there like Boogie, George, Diane and Marcellas, and letting their asses get run over to rewrite history, is. not. that. fulfilling.

Nakomis was no April, Howie.

It's hollow really, just like the empty Duke victory or the boring Survivor season of one sided slaughter.

I'll second that request to know about the Penalty nomination. I've never seen it happen. Has it? What is it?

Since this is All-Stars, I was hoping that TPTB would think of more stuff for them to do, like daily challenges or secret items or rooms. So far, it's been a "normal" season with the exception that everyone's played before. There should be MORE going on.

I agree with a lot of your points quickpick - James winning this HOH is the worst possible outcome for the show overall. The ONLY hope is that he does something unpredictable and turns on his own alliance, and oh, guess what? Reading the Live Feeds thread, it appears he's starting to do exactly that. So maybe there is hope?

Bottom line, if you want an exciting and unpredictable summer then at least one and preferably two of the season six hamsters need to get evicted before sequester. Is that still possible this late in the game?

Damn, Nakomis is gone... her and Dani were usually the only 2 people awake when I view the feeds due to the 15-hour time difference here in Aus :(

Oh James. James, James, James. I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt but, alas, you did not deserve it. Your core people are Danielle, Will, and Booger, and Diane is your other best bud. Gah. Strategically, yeah, probably pretty good. But personally, I don't like ya' too much right now. I hope S6 takes your ass out again. MF. Maybe a back door? That'd mess you up for life. Sweet.
