Did Howie tell James that he'll vote for him?

The houseguests are hearing chickens outside right now.
Wouldn't it be great if a chicken was made HoH and just pecked at some buttons to choose nominations?
It could be the Coop D'Tat!

Here's my analysis of the show so far:

Janey and Jase
The house’s first HOH
They have a quick conference
And off they do go
They choose Ali and Dani
To share the first block
Hope to get Ali out
And the votes are a lock
Ali’s diary confession
Says Janelle is a whore
But when the final vote happens
Ali’s pushed out the door

Kaysar is next
And we wait for his choice
All houseguests’ opinions
Undecidedly voiced
Then Nakomis and Diane
Sit out on death row
The first strategy fuck-up
For an S6er HOH
Diane vows to never
Campaign for a vote
But she lies, so Nakomis
Goes out on that note

And third we have James
With S6 he is forged
But for some stupid reason
He hates Chicken George
So Georgie and Will
Are the next for eviction
But Georgie wins veto
It’s stranger than fiction
James then puts up Jase
And in utter defiance
Jase walks out the door
As James broke their alliance

And once again Janey
Is back in the lead
All floaters in the house
Had better take heed
Erika and Boogie
Will now feel the heat
And if Boogie went out
It would’ve been sweet
But Boogie wins veto
So to Diane the block’s passed
And for personal reasons
She’s out on her ass

Fifth HOH is Dani
Who’s stirring the pot
By aligning with James
Against the S6 lot
James and Janey await
The executioner’s axe
But Janey wins veto
Dani’s nerves are thus taxed
And Kaysar’s put up
But will he put up a fight?
Tune in for live eviction
CBS Thursday night!!!

WHOO HOOO! BIG BROTHER, I LOVE YOU!!!!

So no one's coming back into the house. Good, because that would be kind of lame.

I wonder if the clues are supposed to be things like what mirror they were in, who saw them, stuff like that? And who were they, since there's so much debate about that.

Of course, that wouldn't be fair to hamsters that haven't seen them, so, hm.

Anyway, I hope Howie's keeping track of it all.

The sightings so far, as far as I can tell, have been:

Allison
Jase
Hardy
Cappy
Bunky (?)
Maggie (?)

AND LAST NIGHT'S VETO COMPETITION WAS AWESOME!!

Talk about no honor among theives!! Bwaaaahaha! The look on Danielle's face when she realized (and I do believe that after the first few prizes were taken...she knew) Janelle was gonna get off the hook was priceless! And James should never again be called the veto king.....ever! Janelle has won more vetos than he has.

Will and Booger's DR had me cracking up! Will definitely took away some of Dani's cool points. Will's comment about winning prizes and having a margarita party with Janelle while the HoH was in solitary confinement was devilishy classic! She got played hard!!

I'm officially rooting for Will now. If for no other reason than the rest of the hammies are just too damn stoopid.

Last night I thought someone said they saw Jase's suitcase in the SR? Maybe people are keeping the clues to themselves this time.

Edited to fix font manipulation -- Mags

That was so funny, it made the tears flow!! Thanks for invoking the spirits of BBs past, Haunted! I hold you responsible for this fun twist.

Wouldn't it be AWESOME if they paired each HG up with one that didn't get in the house, and the current ones had to compete against that person to remain IN the house?? Because ratings are down, they bitch and moan too much, and it'd really shake things up!! I'd LOVE it. I'd love it so much, I'd be almost tempted to give it special favors, but only if it took me to that deluxe and amazing hotel in Dubai with the helicopter pad.


And the hits just keep on comin'!!

OK, without making me read all the recappage from today...WTF is up with former HG's "appearing" in mirrors??? Please elaborate, and my laziness thanks you for your time.

You can go here to see what happened overnight with several screen shots:
http://www.hamsterwatch.com/
I guess they've been appearing all day too.

There's also screenshots on this site of course too! http://www.hamstertime.net/ht/index.php?sh...c=94&st=180

So I read the recaps of last night (good job, guys!), and I'm wondering at the sincerity of CT in keeping Kay and booting James. Will they really do that? Boogie seemed to be lobbying Will hard to keep the more trustworthy Kay in the game. So if CT, Howie and Janey are for Kay (4 votes), and Dani, Erika, CG and Marcy are for James, they have more work to do, right? Unless they get one more their plan is toast, and so is the LOD alliance, right?

Right. Kay needs FIVE votes to stay, because James will inevitably cancel one vote. James only needs THREE votes, canceling one for Kaysar, forcing a tie, and Danielle votes to save James.

Ooops, I put Dani in there...she doesn't vote! So 7 are voting tonight.

Hmmm...let's think about the vote cancellating thing tho:
Janey, Howie, Will, Boogie and CG or Erika = 5
Erika or CG, Marcy, = 2

Even if James cancels a vote, there's no tie to break, Kay stays? I've been noted for my fuzzy math skills...

I'm kind of on James' side between him and Janelle. She really did sell out her alliance to protect herself in what she thinks is a secret alliance with Booger and Will, and James did do something he didn't want to do by nominating Jase, which was for the better of his alliance as a whole.

As of now, I'm hoping for a Danielle/George final two. Yeah, that's right! The Chicken man! He deserves it for surviving on slop this long without strangling anyone.

This assumes that Erika and George won't vote the same way. It's actually George's vote that is causing problems right now.

Kaysar isn't campaigning for Marci's vote - he's so mad at him he doesn't even want it (mistake).
Erika won't vote for Kaysar unless she is SURE he has the votes and her's won't make a difference (I thought CT could change her vote, but it doesn't seem like she's going for it). So Kaysar can't get her vote unless he has George's for sure.
Kaysar seems to think he has George's but George just won't commit. Dani has been developing a relationship with George since week one so I think he's voting with her and not Kaysar.

So right now the house feels that the worst case scenerio is a tie where Dani evicts Kaysar.

But no matter how Mike goes on about wanting to save Kaysar - I think it's mostly for show (I don't think I've read a recap of them talking by themselves).

CT has an alliance with Janie and Howie to get out the floaters EVEN if Kaysar gets evicted. So CT loses nothing if they vote out Kaysar.

They have an alliance with Erika and they lose nothing with her no matter which way they vote.

They have an alliance with Dani and James. Dani has understandings with Marci and George. If CT evicts James, they do risk losing Dani (and Maric and George by extention).

So if CT wants to make sure they aren't a target for anyone in the house, the smart eviction is Kaysar. Then they throw HoH and let the two sides wage war. It's perfect and I saw Will plotting it out weeks ago. Kaysar's Operation Oracle plan played into it perfectly - moron.

"Kaysar isn't campaigning for Marci's vote - he's so mad at him he doesn't even want it (mistake)."



BIG mistake. Especially since we already know that Marcellas will go where the payoff is. He has no real allegiance to Dani. Heck, he doesn't even like her. If Kaysar made a deal with him, he would give him a vote, no problem. That is a perfect example of Kaysar's game play. It's terrible. He seems like a nice guy and boy, he sure is dead sexy but he's playing with too much emotion by holding grudges and not using his head making the necessary deals to stay. He's not cut out for Big Brother. I'm sorry to say this but he deserves to go. :(

Yes, but let's not forget that James main target was KG! He didn't want to target CT any more than anyone else in the alliance, so his being so completely outraged is a tad hypocritical.

The only difference is that he got talked into doing the Jase evict, Janey didn't get talked into doing the CT evict. He should be just as mad at himself.



I couldn't agree more. CT practically BEGGED him to say he wanted James to go, and he still wouldn't do it. That leaves me torn, I want James to go just to see the look on his and Danis face, but I want Kaysar to go because he SO deserves to.

We'll see tonight I guess.

Yeah, that's exactly why I can't feel too sorry for James, or angry at Janelle. She handled her second HOH terribly, the biggest mistake being caught in a bold-faced lie right in front of her alliance, but James needs to stop acting like he got rid of his BFF for the sake of the S6 alliance. His original target was Chicken George, of all people, so he really has no leg to stand on. I don't mind that he's jumped ship, I knew he would do it anyway the first time S6 wasn't in power, but his hypocrisy and utter lack of self-awareness make it impossible for me to be wholeheartedly supportive of his gameplay.

funny and true!

I'm going to miss Kaysar so much. I just cannot believe that they're getting rid of the ONE, the ONLY good looking male in the house. He's sweet, kind, genuine and gentle. He has more moral fiber in his pinky than all the houseguests put together. *sigh* When people say that he's not cut out for the show, you're right. He's not the lyin' backstabbing , canniving manipulator that usually makes it to the end. That is what makes me love and hate the show so much. If James wins, I'm gonna be ill. After wanting CT put on the block instead of Diane when Janelle was HOH, he joins the LOD with those fameho's? UGH. I'm hoping Janelle wins. I certainly don't believe her to be a triflin' ho that she is constantly being accused of.

I'm going to pray until the live show that Kaystar stays. Oh what I wouldn't give to see the expression on James and Dani's face when Chenbot announces James eviction. *shivers*

Who can blame him? Everyone else in the house was already striking deals with them - most of all Janie. It's kind of the old "if you can't beat them, join 'em" philosophy at work. At least James will probably try to evict one of them at some point down the road.

at what I think is the sequester point and what I think of as the turning point of the game, here is my current take on things:

Kaysar is gone tonight - CT will tease keeping him and may even split their votes but have no reason to align themselves against Dani at this point. Keeping the house split in fractions is to their advantage and saving Kaysar over James would be like announcing themselves against Dani at this point.

Marcellus is in the weakest position of what's left as he is the most disliked player by the largest number of people....Janelle, Howie, Boogie, Will would all like to see him go at the earliest and while Dani can still use his vote for the time being, she won't go out of her way to save him. Best chance of making final 4 is if CT makes a mistake and is outed as aligning with s6 and Dani keeps him for votes....Best chance for f2, only if Dani beats out Janelle, runs s6 out of the house, runs CT out of the house, and somehow can win the last HOH

Chicken George is only stronger that Marcellus in that he doesn't have out and out enemies so much as he is just found generally annoying and easily expendable by everyone. An easy vote for a free week. James is probably the one person who most actively dislikes him and would put him up for nomination but anyone he put up next to george would be more likely to go at this stage as they will be seen as bigger threat. In a normal season, KG would be the type of guy who could float to the last 3 or 4 and that still may happen but with former players he is not well respected and may be an early target

Janelle and Dani - Janelle is better in competitions and Dani is the better strategy/alliance. The two have each other on the top of their list and whoever has the other on the ropes first will probably get CT backing to put her out. If this becomes a holy war in the house with people willing to fight to the death for the two - then neither makes it to final 4...if it happens fast, house will realign around winner and other options (CT or s6) and the winner will most likely make final 4 if not f2.

Howie - sometimes annoying but also liked for entertainment factor he brings to bored hammies...not considered a strong threat in competitions but a threat in that he is very loyal to Janey...also has a strong relationship with George which could cause George to throw a vote to him rather than vote with Dani if Howie was on the block. Is disliked by Marcellus and no favorite of Boogie's or Ericka's. Best chance of making final 4 is if Janelle can get Dani out of the game..best chance of final 2 is if George stays in the game and the two can work together at the end

Ericka - actively disliked as player by many in the house and would probably be easy target to get out...useful to Dani for the time being but not part of Dani's core alliance...calls herself the 3rd member of CT but is not trusted by Will...strongest long-term ally is Boogie. Best chance for final 4 is if LOD falls apart and Will leaves the game..best chance for final 2 is winning the last HOH

Boogie - strongly allied to Will but also strongly allied with Erika so he has options depending on how the game will go. Marcellus is biggest enemy but as long as s6 and Dani's alliance keep fighting each other, will probably be able to float in-between with impunity. Probably less well-liked than Will and is not a strategic as Will but also probably better at comps than Will...potential to make more enemies depending on how he acts around Janey/Howie. Best chance for Final 4 is if LOD doesn't get outed and season 6 along with Marcellus is run out of the game...best chance for f2 is if Will and Erika are in the f4

Will - has huge mark on his back from being only winner in the game but many might see him as a good #2 in a F2 situation...has CT positioned perfectly between s6 and Dani to flow whichever way the power in the house is running or to stop one side from getting more power than the other....has seemingly won over Janey which brings Howie along...dislikes Erika which could cause friction with Boogie at some point but conventional wisdom says Boggie will go with Will in the end...find it hard to think past winner could win all-stars but probably has the most votes sown up if he does end up in final two: James, Janey, Boogie would surely vote for him and depending on situation could get Dani, Erika, and Chicken George. As hard as it is to believe - is probably the favorite to win the game right now. Best chance at f4 is to keep playing like he is now and not get caught being in an alliance with every major player...best chance for f2 is to simply make it to f4 since there will be some strong feeling that previous winner wouldn't be able to win again in vote

James - has been able to pull of the move that got him targeted last year and with tonight's vote probably going against Kaysar, will be able to float between s6 and Dani for some time to come....main threat comes from CT down the road, Janey/Howie feeling betrayed, or Marcellus/Erika wanting to get rid of someone that threatens their perceived position with Dani. Strongest potential of all that are left to reach final two but also think winning that final vote will be extremely hard for him. Best chance for f4 is for Dani to stay in game and for him to win HOHs and win POVs when necessary....best chance for f2 is if Howie and Dani are in f4 and if he can win several of the last comps.

I was just responding to Sophy's post about Erika losing the trust with the Sovs this past week and what she could have done differently. In my response, I found myself truely baffled at what the Sovs were thinking this week and why they are working with CT.

I've said since Kaysar's HoH that I thought leaving Will in the game was a huge mistake. I hated his "get the floaters out" plan. Will has done exactly what I thought he would do and he's doing it perfectly. If he wins this all again, he deserves it.

I truely believe that despite the risky move he took by being nominated - James is the one who deserves to stay tonight. He sees things Kaysar misses and is playing the game far better than the other Sovs.

James knew all along that CT would not provide cover for S6 as a whole. James expected to be a target and made plans accordingly. He struck a deal with the people he wants out of the house because he needed to but he does not trust them. All of this makes him very different than his fellow S6ers. Maybe he is rat but he's a smart rat.

Kaysar, Howie and Janie see themselves very differently than the rest of the house sees them. They think they were heroes to the "floaters" they didn't target. They think CT should have been the obvious target for the "floaters". They actually felt betrayed that they were targeted! All of this makes them a little too delusional for the liking. But it's their blind eye to CT that makes me want them to lose.

Let's follow Sov logic for a minute. Marci and Erika are floaters because Dani targets the Sovs. Why? Marci and Erika have always been friends with Dani - Erika went out of her way to save Dani week one and Marci hasn't bad mouthed Dani is weeks (a blind man could see they had at least come to terms). There was no flip-flop there. Yes Erika and Marci were not members of an official alliance, but that alone doesn't make them floaters. The Sovs are making a huge mistake if they think people can't play the game just because they don't have a cool name for the people they work with.

But yeah, Erika and Marci are turncoats because Dani targeted the Sovs. So who do the Sovs turn to? CT. Wasn't CT left in the game to be targets? Has it ever crossed the Sovs mind that if CT isn't being targeted there might be a reason why? Like maybe CT made a deal with Dani! No. This obvious bit of reason escapes our beloved Sovs. They spill information to CT like a leaky roof and get very little in return. CT hasn't even spilled the beans about James's place in everything. When I question who Will is most loyal to besides Mike - that fact alone confirms for me that it isn't the Sovs.

So for as much as I wanted to see him make good on his promise when he evicted Jase - that he knew Will's game and knew how to beat him - I have to conclude that Kaysar isn't cut out for this game not just because he's too nice of a guy - but because he isn't smart enough to see all of what is going on around him. Based on gameplay, James deserves to stay tonight and Kaysar deserves to go.

I don't think Marcellass would ever vote for Kaysar, unless his was the only vote and he knew it.

Marcellass is much to much the emotional drama queen to take any kind of deal offered to him from S6 at this point. He thrives off the drama itself, rather than playing smart. He wants to be bold, and dramatic, and seen as this major player who takes stands and doesn't back down. We all know the reality, of course, but remember, this is what's going on in Marcy's head.

So this week, with the mood of the house against S6, and James betrayal of S6, Marcy just craves S6 to come to him begging for a vote, begging Marcy to keep them, Save them Marcellass! Save them! And then he can coldly send them to the door, saying "You all had your chance, I'm not going to do your dirty work, you made your bed now lie in it" and whatever other boring cliche's he can come up with. Then he can gloat to everyone later about how S6 came begging for his vote, and he turned them down cold.

That's what Marcy's point of view is.

You're right, uaintjak. I suspect that's the thinking that led him to not use the veto on himself in his season-- he felt safe, for some reason, and wanted an easy dramatic play. Instead he got a more difficult one.

Wow, we have some smart ppl here!
First.....a big THANK YOU to bhoozhah for recapping his butt off late last night (Wed night/Thurs a.m.)!
(I think he's a him, not a her?) I'll put this love in the the Love Thread, too.
Unbelievable Conversation recaps!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From 11:25 pm HT until 3:03 am...on his own , I think.And mostly on his own from post #1929 @8:10 pm HT until post #1991 @ 3:03 am HT!
Plus he got amazing, possibly game changing info from Will, Boogie, Howie, KaysArtOfWar/Kaysar, and Janie (our lovable "American Geisha" * Sister Morphine"):

Here's some stuff that may work against James; thus, in favor of Kaysar. Duh.):
1) Howie apparently was in the toilet, and Danielle and Marcellas entered the sink area, and D and M started talking ....without bothering to check the toilet first!! Idiots!
D and M started talking together about their SSA (D and M's!)......F2, and no one will know b/c everyone 'knows' they hate each other.
And Howie, HEARD all of this!!
Then, Howie (thinking CT is sort of on Sov6 side) told CT this SSA info.
Now, obviously Howie doesn't know about CT (+ Dani and James= LOD).....so Howie doen't realize the full extent of this info!
To CT, this info means Dani is not FULLY aligned with CT!
CT now doubts Dani.

2) Janelle and Kaysar talked to CT about lots of shit......game related stuff.....and they brought up PoV....they said James is awesome at this, and Janey says: "Kaysar sucks at PoV! Sorry Kaysar, it's true." She wasn't even trying to swing CT, she just mentioned it in passing.
Since CT is already doubting Danielle, this simple PoV talk may work in K's favor.
CT may think 'Hey as long as James is up, and can't get off the mac, why not get him out NOW? Before he has a chance to save himself later? We can always get K out later, since K is NOT the Veto King.'

3) CT is definitely the type to really enjoy mixing things up (and then doing a DR 'phone call' schtick about it....which I find HILARIOUS, btw! Esp. when Will fell off the couch!!).

So, Dani is now on their radar as a Benedict Arnold Shapiro, who is NOT to be trusted.
Will and Boogie would LOVE to fuck the shit out of Dani by evicting James this week!!
And, privately, CT did mention they'd love to flip the house, and screw over QueenDani!!
But, CT may want to still be 'under the radar', having Float Club and Sov6 fight against each other.
Plus, although Dani is SSA with Marsi, at least CT already KNOWS about this, and can use this info. Esp knowing that Dani does NOT know that CT knows about dani and M's SSA! Phew!

It's interesting how Sov6 keeps giving info to CT(+James), trusting them.........
Yet, it's some of this very info that may inadvertantly help Sov6 (and Kaysar). Weird.

Also:
Erica is supposedly tied with Boogie somehow, right?
Is Will aware of his tie with her? Or does Will just think Erica is simply maleable, and can be used?
Why is this important?
Because when ever Will and Boogie are alone together....
Will is ALWAYS telling Booger that Erica is NOT to be trusted! And Boogie always agrees with Will about this.
Is Will trying to get Boogie to doubt Erica?
Is Boogie playing Erica?


And:
Danielle keeps bitching about 'her team didn't step up at the PoV competition".
If she was REALLY smart, she should have realized that HAD they all stepped up and tried to earn points, that would have given Dani even LESS of a chance at PoV!!
Since it was a 'first on the buzzer gets it' thing.......it's hard to say, but chances are the points would have been spread out all over the place instead of just Dani and Janie fighting to add points! But then again, is 6 ppl fought for points instead of 2 ppl, maybe they would have beaten Janie to the buzzer and taken away points from Janie.
Aw well, she never thought about it either way....so "she ain't that smart".

(This was similar to another POV game where they had to privately put items (quarters?) in each other's containers.....they had to split the quarters between at least 2 containers, i think. I think they were all after 1 HG, but they all f'd it up trying to guess what other's would do. James might have been in it? Boy, can I remember my BB facts. or what?! (IOW, I suck.) Maybe someone else can remind us?)

That's my thoughts so far. It's hard to tell what everyone will do since their friggin "human beings" and are prone to selfishness, hubris, lying, manipulating, paranoia-ing, second and third guessing, not seeing what's right in front of their FACE. Plus everone has an SSA with everyone else. Plus they're all idiots. Bastards. (except Will that is, He be smart!)

I can't believe Danielle was so stupid to just start talking without checking la toilette first! I mean, I expect it of Marcellas.

Oh, Howster. Why did you tell Booger and Will? Why not just keep the info to yourself and use it to your advantage, like blackmailing Danielle and Marcellas into never nominating you for eviction?

Thanks for that excellent post, FMC!

If I can be off-topic for a moment...

Is anyone else developing carpal tunnel, or is it just me? Seriously.

Switch hands. Oh...you mean the typing is the problem? Er....nevermind.

Back on topic, I'm starting a poll on how long it takes Erika to switch back to her old s6 loving (aka ass-kissing) ways if they would happen to win HoH:

A) Within minutes
B) Within an hour
C) Within 6 hours
D) Within 1 day
E) Never

Post your guesses within your normal posts, winners win....well....I guess they just win the priviledge of saying "Neener Neener...Told ya so!!!" to the losers. Hey, works for me!

P.S. I'm picking B btw.

ETA: the 'aka ass-kissing', since FMC so rightly pointed out that 'loving' and 'Erika' don't seem to make any sense.

Honestly< i didn't know Erica had any sort of 'loving ways'.....
But she was 'awn' when talking to Kaysar the other night.....
Erica: "Why should I tell you who I want out? or whose on my list? and in what order? Just so you can use it against me later. And use my strategies?!"
(And this was to 'her buddy' Kaysar! Her future hubby!)

Raaaeeer!! (How do you spell that mean cat sound?)



Also;
Step
Fucking Hilarious! (sorry to swear, but it WAS!!)




ETA: Woohoo! I got the double quotes thingy right!!!!!!!
*does a little dance*

I agree on B....less than a minute would just be tacky and besides - I'm hoping for Janelle and Howie to make a scene out of winning that lasts longer than a minute anyway. And, as long as I'm going to go into fantasy recapping, I'd like to see Janey call up Erika to the HOH and ask her how she's gonna feel when boogie and dani are up on the block and if either get's off with the POV, erika goes up to replace them.

But she finally has a bowel movement then

know it won't go down that way but it would be funny to watch Erika live with that.

Rowwwrrrrr - I think.





::Smacking head::

k. I'm just now "getting" the carpel tunnel joke.

Oy

Edited to add to ZGeist - The fact that they haven't had bowel movements for three solid (work with me here ... I have issues and I'm trying to do better) weeks means they are all full of shit, right? Am I right? I think that I am. If they poo -- well then -- what?

I'm going with choice "b", as well, modified to read "an hour, or whenever the HoH gets their new room". Because you know Erikba will be all up in that ASAP.

Nice analysis, zgeist, and I would only add that I think Will has a great chance of winning if he makes it to F2. My thinking is that this group of fame ho "All Stars" might just decide that it looks better to "lose" to the dude who already won one season than to someone who'd never won before.

I will say B also. And I had to quote you quoting Step because I agree on the laughability of that. (is that a word?) As far as Erika having loving ways, maybe you should ask Boog. I think he found out that she did on his birthday. Did you miss that?

I'm finding that I am liking Will but hating James/Dani when they seem to have the same strategy. I think the reason is that Will admits he is a liar. I guess that is a trait I respect and I never knew that about myself. I kinda feel dirty now.

Just a hunch here, but I think it will depend on who wins. If Howie wins, she'll be flirting with him and friendly ASAP.

If Janie wins, she'll be more cautious. She'll try feel to her out and hope that Marci and Dani are her real targets. My guess will be that at the very least, the first night they get some alchohol she'll try to get in on a bubble bath or hot tub thing with Janie, Mike and Will.

I wonder if the former houseguests will be staying in the house at all and if this will in any way impact strategizing, etc....

Did anyone else see that Booger did not hit an answer on one question, and was not eliminated???? HOwie did the same, and he was???? I smell a conspiracy!

Mike's light did not light up in the one where Janie was eliminated.

I guess you have to hit the button really hard because they both seemed to hit even though their answers didn't light up. The most they could have done for Howie was a do-over question, but I doubt they would have done that.

ETA: I can't believe they are going to let the Coup overthrow both nominations. It doesn't sound like the HoH will be exempt either. Additionally it will happen right before the eviction vote so there is no time for campaigning. So they all need to campaign this week and they don't even know it.

Booger should have booted THEN. Rip-off!!!

I have to say that something was seriously wrong with that comp. Booger failed to answer a question, and Janelle got booted that round. Howie did the same thing, had to hit the button again, and was booted.

Moved from recaps thread - gforce

that was THE worst bb ever

Do you guys think the phrase is something along the lines of "wolf dressed in sheeps clothing"??

I was thinking 'fiendSHEEP'', but I like the way you think!

I agree this Coup D'Etat seriously blows in concept. I'd be pissed if one of my favorites got saddled with it if they won HoH.

On the other hand, Erika isn't one of my favorites. Also, (1) it will go to whoever is clever or diligent enough to figure it out and (2) it will overturn Erika's noms, which I think will be lame, misguided and random anyway, so -- I like it!!!

Based on the sheep, gotta think the phrase is Nerd Herd. (Sheep -- herd, etc.)

The phrase has got to be You (ewe) are evicted. I'm worried James will figure it out and he'll ride it to the end.

I wonder if there will be a Veto contest this week. If there is, what a powerful thing to hold since they should at least be protected against the Coup's nominations.

I'm just not sure they shouldn't at least have the Coup before the live show. It seems cruel to not let people campaign at all. :)

I thought Julie said the Coup would be WON this week, but could be USED in any one of up to 3 weeks.

I think it will be 'You Have Been Evicted' because that's the way Julie says it every week. They might add the 'from the Big Brother house' also...it will be interesting because you only get one guess.

And I have to just echo what a horrible competition that was tonight because of the fiasco with the lights. Janelle and Howie were seriously robbed tonight and it could cost them the game because I expect them to be the noms.

The look on Kaysar's face when he learned from Julie that James turned on him...wow...he looked really emotional about it. Man I hope Janelle or Howie win the Coup d'etat and throw Danielle and James on the block.

Janie wasn't robbed at all. She got her question wrong and unless I totally misunderstand the rules - she would have been eliminated no matter what happened with Mike.

Howie might have been robbed, but he can't prove he hit the button or which answer he originally hit. And we don't know he would have gotten the rest of the questions right. He was wronged, but there isn't much they could have done to fix it.

True, but if Boog had gotten it wrong too, he also would have been eliminated.




The same could have been said about Erika if she had not had an answer count, and look where she ended up.

It also make you wonder about the veto comp. There was discussion among the HG's that they didn't think the buttons were working correctly then either.

BB has some serious technical problems to deal with. Trust me when I say the CBS legal team will be working overtime tonight.

P.S. It CAN be proved actually. The buttons make a sound when hit, and they have it ALL on tape, from multiple angles. Don't get me wrong, I'm not bitchin or callin for a do-over. Just sayin is all.

You are right...I stand corrected. Still it seemed like there were serious problems though.

Yea, this HOH competition was a complete joke. Not just because of Howie's buzzer, but I seriously dislike Erika and her gameplay! I think that this week would be a complete waste if it weren't for the coup. Erika is not going to make this decision by herself, Danielle will be feeding her all kinds of crap (and it will be the only thing Erika eats this week). I didn't like Janelle's nominations during her last HOH, but atleast she thought for herself and didn't submit to others' wishes!

Anyway I just had to rant a little bit. I would rather James have won.
