Booger wants them to bring back someone from their seasons to help them. Dani immediately says "Jason!"

Mike wants them to bring back someone from their seasons to help them. Danielle immediately says, "Jason!" and I fully agree.

Booger asks CG how this batch of slop is, and CG says it's like shit. Hammies freak, because CG SAID A BAD WORD.

CG says he's done everything he could...baked, boiled, rolled it... this stuff is just NASTY.

Dani is talking to herself. "Rock and a hard place. This game consists of a lot of things now, one being jury. Should I keep playing for survival?" She's muttering some, so I didn't catch it all. "Janelle won't vote for Erika, Howie won't, CT won't. Do I make this decision right now and try to take Erika to F2? That's why I want to keep her in this game."

Mike asks George how his slop tastes, and George tells him that it tastes like sh*t. Everyone goes crazy because George said a bad word! George says he's done everything he could... baked, boiled, rolled it... this stuff is just NASTY. Danielle is talking to herself. "Rock and a hard place, this game consists of a lot of things now, one being jury. Should I keep playing for survival? Janelle won't vote for Erika, Howie won't, Chill Town won't. Do I make this decision right now and try to take Erika to F2? That's why I want to keep her in this game."

Mike just told James that he likes his shirt. What that means is, he wants him to leave it for him when he leaves this Thursday.

Dani and James in the kitchen. Dani is making bacon and eggs. James says he feels better today, cheerful. Says, this is James from Big Brother, I'm used to being nominated, and sold out. Then sings a little song about how he gets to see his contract today, and we get flames.

We come back, and they're discussing how many days they've been in the house. If it was me, I'd be making hash marks on the wall every day.

James says, Sarah's going to leave me. Saying he's fat. Says she probably already left him.

Danielle and James are in the kitchen. Danielle is making bacon and eggs. James says he feels better today, cheerful. He says, this is James from Big Brother; I'm used to being nominated and sold out. Then he sings a little song about how he gets to see his contract today, and we get flames. When we get back, James is saying that Sarah is going to leave him now because he is fat. Hey James, no worries just go on the “patent pending CBS Big Brother slop diet!” Just ask spokesman George.

Will just informed Dani and James that the only reason Janie is spending so much time with him is because no one else in the house will talk to her.. (not because they have a deal)
He tells them Janie is suspicious of Dani and James..

then James has an epiphany and tells Will if she was genuinly sad.. she would have hid in her room.. not put on a show in the public bathroom. I think someone here called that as well..

Will just informed James and Danielle that the only reason Janelle is spending so much time with him is because no one else in the house will talk to her, and that she is suspicious of the both of them. Then James has an epiphany and tells Will if she was genuinely sad she would have hid in her room, and not put on a show in the public bathroom.

Dani now picking Will's brain if he thinks Janie would not try so hard for HOH is she thinks she is safe.. (aka If Dani makes her fake play for a fake truce, will Janie buy it?)

Dani's thing is this... if she thinks she is safe, would she go hard for a POV?

James comes back and Will seemlessly transitions to Gin rummy talk.

Danielle is now picking Will’s brain to see if he thinks Janelle will not try so hard to get HOH if she thinks she is safe. She says that she is just trying to do what is best for the team. Will states that the best part is, if Erika wins HOH, she would totally put up Janelle. Danielle agrees and assures him that she will do her part too.

Danielle and James are in the kitchen. Danielle is making bacon and eggs. James says he feels better today, cheerful. He says, this is James from Big Brother; I'm used to being nominated and sold out. Then he sings a little song about how he gets to see his contract today, and we get flames.

James says, Sarah's going to leave me. Saying he's fat. Says she probably already left him.

James is rehashing, again, Janelle's decision not to go after Chill Town. James says if Janelle hadn't gone after Diane, and Jase was still there, Kaysar would still be in the house. No idea how he could possibly know that, but I don't have James' massive brain.

James rehashing, AGAIN, Janey's decision not to go after CT. James says if Janey hadn't gone after Diane, and Jase was still there, Kaysar would still be in the house. No idea how he could possibly know that, but I don't have James' massive brain.

Erika and Danielle are in the living room. Danielle is essentially throwing James under the bus, talking about the fact that he put Erika up and contemplated putting Danielle up – how can she be okay with that? She sees him playing both sides. Danielle says James is a buffer – if he does stay, Chill Town is going to go after him, because it's the alpha male syndrome.

Erika and Dani on the SoFA. Dani throwing James under the bus, saying the fact that he put Erika up, and contemplated putting Dani up, how can she be okay with that? Says she sees him playing both sides.

Dani says James is a buffer-- if he does stay, CT is going to go after him, because it's the alpha male syndrome.

Basically, she's playing Erika like a violin, except skinnier. Trashing James enough so Erika isn't on to their alliance, but steering the discussion to keeping James in the game for strategy reasons.

Will asks him if he's feeling nervous about being nominated, George says no, he's not sweating it. Will says, “good, I give you my personal guarantee you're safe.” Well, that’s worth a lot! He tells George if he starts to worry, just come talk to him. George tells him his food looks good, and Will apologizes and says maybe they'll let George eat next week. George says he's under 200, and would like to get to 190. He says he can't exercise because he has no energy from the slop. Will invites him to walk with him and Janelle tonight, and George says he just might! Will leaves with his food, and George fixes himself up some more dry slop.

George appears to have mixed some slop, flour, and honey in a dry mix on a plate, and he's eating it with a butter knife. It's one of the saddest things I've ever seen.

Will asks him if he's feeling nervous about being nommed, George says no, he's not sweating it. Will says, good, I give you my personal guarantee you're safe. Tells George if he starts to worry, just come talk to him.

Dani and Janie in BY.. Dani asking if her and James are talking yet. tells her James needed a couple of days to calm down and he will probably approach her today to talk to her.. just um you know, be cool..

dumbJanie falls hook line and stinker..

(this is after Dani and Will telling James not to burn his bridges with the blond Goddess earlier today, and that he should fake make up with her by speaking to her today)

Later, Danielle and Janelle are in the backyard. Danielle asks her if she and James are talking yet, and says that James just needs a couple of days to calm down, and he will approach her when he does – if he is still there of course. Janelle falls for this hook, line, and sinker no doubt. Then, a miracle happens. Danielle proposes a truce. She will not nominate Janelle if Janelle does not nominate her. Janelle agrees, Danielle tells her, “I really meant it when I told you not to leave the other night.” Let’s just do this like ladies.

Apparently it's CG up with James. Will keeps whispering to George. "It's just gettin started CG...just gettin started." Janey apparently said something in the meeting to set James off because he's out back saying to Danielle that she might have an alliance with CT.

Then we get flames as the veto ceremony occurs. When we return, we see what we all expected; Janelle took herself off the block and it appears as though Mike has put George up in her place. Will is whispering to George that it is all just getting started now. Janelle apparently said something in the meeting to set James off because he's out back saying to Danielle that Janelle might have an alliance with Chill Town. He tells Danielle that Janelle thinks he is going home this week, but she will be leaving before him. Danielle tells him about the truce that she made earlier with Janelle.

Janey and Boogie in the HOH room. Janey talking about Dani's truce offer. Says she was sort of on the spot, had to say yes or felt Dani would come after her. Asked if it was just for one week and Dani said no. Boogie thinks this is great! Thinks Erika more likely to vote out James now. Janey asks Boogie to please not tell Dani she told him.

Janey upset because it seems Dani implied James told her he threw an HOH comp he had told Janey he would win. James has got to go she says. Boogie assents and leaves.

Now Janey in the KT with CG talking hair color I think?

Janelle and Mike are in the HOH room. Janelle is talking about Danielle's truce offer. She says she was sort of on the spot, she had to say yes or felt Danielle would come after her. She asked if it was just for one week and Danielle said no. Mike thinks this is great! He thinks Erika is more likely to vote out James now. Janelle asks Boogie to please not tell Danielle she told him. Janelle is upset because it seems Danielle implied James told her he threw an HOH competition he had told Janelle that he would win. James has got to go, she says. Boogie agrees and leaves.

Plagiarism

The act of appropriating the literary composition of another author, or excerpts, ideas, or passages therefrom, and passing the material off as one's own creation.

Plagiarism is theft of another person's writings or ideas. Generally, it occurs when someone steals expressions from another author's composition and makes them appear to be his own work. Plagiarism is not a legal term; however, it is often used in lawsuits. Courts recognize acts of plagiarism as violations of copyright law, specifically as the theft of another creator's intellectual property. Because copyright law allows a variety of creative works to be registered as the property of their owners, lawsuits alleging plagiarism can be based on the appropriation of any form of writing, music, and visual images.

Plagiarism can take a broad range of forms. At its simplest and most extreme, plagiarism involves putting one's own name on someone else's work; this is commonly seen in schools when a student submits a paper that someone else has written. Schools, colleges, and universities usually have explicit guidelines for reviewing and punishing plagiarism by students and faculty members. In copyright lawsuits, however, allegations of plagiarism are more often based on partial theft. It is not necessary to exactly duplicate another's work in order to infringe a copyright: it is sufficient to take a substantial portion of the copyrighted material. Thus, for example, plagiarism can include copying language or ideas from another novelist, basing a new song in large part on another's musical composition, or copying another artist's drawing or photograph.

Courts and juries have a difficult time determining when unlawful copying has occurred. One thing the plaintiff must show is that the alleged plagiarist had access to the copyrighted work. Such evidence might include a showing that the plaintiff sent the work to the defendant in an attempt to sell it, or that the work was publicly available and widely disseminated.

Once access is proven, the plaintiff must show that the alleged plagiarism is based on a substantial similarity between the two works. In Abkco Music, Inc. v. Harrisongs Music, Ltd., 722 F.2d 988 (1983), the Second Circuit Court of Appeals found "unconscious" infringement by the musician George Harrison, whose song "My Sweet Lord" was, by his own admission, strikingly similar to the plaintiff's song, "He's So Fine." Establishing a substantial similarity can be quite difficult as it is essentially a subjective process.

Not every unauthorized taking of another's work constitutes plagiarism. Exceptions are made under copyright law for so-called fair use, as in the case of quoting a limited portion of a published work or mimicking it closely for purposes of parody and satire. Furthermore, similarity alone is not proof of plagiarism. Courts recognize that similar creative inspiration may occur simultaneously in two or more people. In Hollywood, for example, where well-established conventions govern filmmaking, this conventionality often leads to similar work. As early as 1942, in O'Rourke v. RKO Radio Pictures, 44 F. Supp. 480, the Massachusetts District Court ruled against a screenwriter who alleged that a movie studio had stolen parts of his unproduced screenplay Girls' Reformatory for its film Condemned Women. The court noted that the similar plot details in both stories— prison riots, escapes, and love affairs between inmates and officials—might easily be coincidental.

Planning to tell Dani about James approaching Janey for protection. Will says to say that Janey wasn't buying it, but he was agreeing to throwing the HOH next week. Booger protests. Will says, okay, tell Dani James may have been trying to trick Janey. Will is worried about James finding out from Dani what they're doing and trying to turn Janey. He's again pushing the Janey agenda to Booger.

Will is saying that next week is the turning point. He can throw the HOH. Let one of the girls win. Will says he has Janelle as the showmance, Booger has Scrubika, and they have Dani as the mom.

Will is pushing final 4 showmances. Okay, here it is. Booger wants Scrubika F3--Will wants Janey. Booger says he trusts Scrubika so much more, just as Will is saying the same thing about Janey

Mike and Will are in the HOH room, and finally we get some plotting. They are planning to tell Danielle about James approaching Janelle for protection. Will says to say that Janelle wasn't buying it, but he was agreeing to throw the HOH next week. Mike is not so sure about this. Will says, “Okay, tell Danielle James may have been trying to trick Janelle.” Will is worried about James finding out from Danielle what they're doing and trying to turn Janelle. He's again pushing the Janelle agenda to Mike. Will is saying that next week is the turning point. He can throw the HOH and let one of the girls win.

He adds that he has Janelle as the showmance, Boogie has Erika, and they have Danielle as the mom. Will is pushing final four showmances. Okay, here it is. Mike wants Erika for the final three, and Will wants Janelle. Mike says he trusts Erika so much more, just as Will is saying the same thing about Janelle. Uh Oh, could this be a crack in the vaunted Chill Town alliance?

In case you are not aware of it yet, the recappers and moderators at Hamster Time have discovered that you are blatantly ripping off our recaps and posting them in articles on RealityNewsOnline, claiming that you wrote them yourself. We notice that you give no credit to Hamster Time or its members, instead claiming our work as your own. Needless to say, we are neither impressed nor amused by your thievery.

Here's a novel idea: why not try writing the articles yourself next time, instead of just copying our recaps? Or at least admit the truth in your "articles", that you are copying the info from our site?

YOU SUCK.

Is Joel Hardy plagiarizing from Hamster Time’s live feed recaps without giving credit? What a Reality TV Hall of Shame moment.

You should give credit where it is due, otherwise I am going to cancel my subscription to your update letter and encourage my friends to do the same.

I just sent the following to Mr. Hardy:

Can I plagiarize that and claim it as my own when I email him? Just ask'n.

Now we get a shot of the cheating purple ball, which should get a penalty nomination except the purple ball is clearly the producer's favorite and the entire game is rigged in its favor. That purple ball is dumb, blond, and a witch!

Now we get a shot of the cheating purple ball, that should get a penalty nom except the purple ball is clearly producer's favorite and the entire game is rigged in its favor. That purple ball is a dumb whore!!

James talks to Janelle! He asked who made the guacamole, then says, "Phenomenal, Janelle." Later on he'll tell everybody he made it first, but then Janelle took it, and she used more than incidental contact, plus, she's a whore.

Mr. Bloomberg:

I am one of the administrators of Hamster Time, a Big Brother Live Feed Recaps website.

It has come to my attention that one of your "writers," Joel Hardy, has been liberally plagiarizing the recaps on Hamster Time without including proper credit and/or attribution.

I'm sure, as a provider of original content, that you appreciate that plagiarism is an aggregious offense.

Please refer to this thread on HT as evidence of Mr. Hardy's misdeeds:

http://www.hamstertime.net/ht/index.php?sh...ic=147&st=0

This thread is detailing the plagiarism in just ONE of "his" daily summaries. I'm not overstating the matter when I say that the majority of "his" article can be directly traced back to the excellent recappers who spend their time and energy recapping the live feeds for HT.

It is my opinion that you should either:

A. Remove all of Mr. Hardy's daily Big Brother synopses from your website, now that you know that only a tiny fraction of what he is passing off as his own work product is, in fact, his; or

B. You put a disclaimer on every one of Mr. Hardy's articles providing a link to Hamster Time and acknowledging that Mr. Hardy is only recapping another site's recaps without providing any real original content.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Highwaygirl

Onward recapping soldiers! FYI, I just sent this email to the owner of RealityNewsOnline:

I also vividly recall this coming from one of our HT posters in a previous HOH week, from RealityNewsOnline BB Live Feed Report for August 10th
again, Mr. Hardy's "take" on the August 10th feeds which he posted August 11th.

At some point, they go to an outside lockdown. There are complaints about the heat, among other things. James wants to know if they can all come and hang out in Howie’s basement after the show. Marcellas extends an invitation to everyone to come and hang out in Beverly Hills with him. According to Marcellas, he is a homo (owner) in a gay (ted) community. He has to repeat this last statement about five times so Howie can get it. Not one for MENSA, our Howie.

I KNOW this was an original HT post, I just can't seem to find it using the search. So, I'd say he's been dipping into our great recapper's original work for some time now. This is pathetic.

Howie talking about the high stress level of Doc Will's job, whereas a meteorologist can be wrong half the time and still not get fired.

James wants to know if they can all come hang out in Howie's basement.

Marci extends an invite for all to "come hang out in fabulous Beverly Hills with moi." They can have game night.

Decisions decisions.

Marcellas is a Homo (Owner) in a Gay (ted) Community. His words.

Has to repeat about 5 times before Howie gets it. Of course now he will repeat it ad nauseum for the remainder of his time in the house-eventually driving Marcellas into a fit of righteous indignation, promptly forgetting he started the whole damn mess to begin with.

Mapquest sucks I am informed.

Will is awake! There is an interesting conversation between him, Mike, Danielle and James. Will is throwing Janelle under the wagon train by spinning a version of the Janelle/Will/George confab last night as a Janelle/George love fest that he watched for two hours and didn't participate in. He says Janelle is tight with George and she spilled all about the secret Tuesday meetings. Janelle hates Erika and would go after her first. Will lies that he no longer has any swing with Janelle after the Howie incident.

I come in on the middle of a gabfest between Doc Will, Boogie, Dani and James. Will is throwing Janelle under the wagon train by spinning a version of the Janelle/Will/CG confab last night as a Janelle/CG lovefest that he watched for 2 hours and didn't participate in. Saying Janelle is tight with CG-how she spilled all about the secret Tuesday meetings.

Talk of how much Janey hates Erika-would likely go after her first.

Will lies that he no longer has any sway over Janelle after the Howie incident.

As if right on cue.. Dani senses that someone is up who might need to be told what to do today. Erika might lift a weight incorrectly.. Up she jumps off to investigate..

Surprisingly, Erika is up first and heads to the gym. As if on cue, Danielle senses someone up before her, and gets up immediately. I mean, it would not do to have Erika wandering around without Danielle talking to her would it?

Will just informed Dani and James that the only reason Janie is spending so much time with him is because no one else in the house will talk to her.. (not because they have a deal)
He tells them Janie is suspicious of Dani and James..

then James has an epiphany and tells Will if she was genuinly sad.. she would have hid in her room.. not put on a show in the public bathroom. I think someone here called that as well..

Danielle tells her, “I really meant it when I told you not to leave the other night.” Let’s just do this like ladies.

Half an hour later, James and Mike wake up and find out that the veto ceremony will take place in ninety minutes. This prompts James to ask Mike if he is going to use veto or not. Mike jokes that he is not. He wants to pull a Marcellas. Great, I hope he does, actually. Marcellas could use some company in the Reality TV Hall of Shame. Mike tells James that he thinks he has the votes to get Erika out. James reassures him that he has his vote. Mike asks him which way. James laughs and tells Mike that he has his vote to stay, adding that he has his vote as well as Will’s. Mike thanks him. Then Mike, displaying his intellectual viewing habits, quotes Beavis and Butthead saying, "The streets will flow with the blood of the nonbelievers." Wow. Mike then asks James about how to conduct the veto ceremony, since James is the pro and all. He actually asks James what to do with the veto once you are done with it.

Im in.. is there a lawyer in der waffle house?

Plagiarizing is soooooooo not cool!

HamsterTime.net has some of the BEST recappers and posters ever.

Maybe you've stolen from us because we are the best ('Imitation is the highest form of flattery', right?....but substitute "stealing" for "imitation").

It is my understanding it is Mr. Hardy that is the guilty party.

I'm so glad our HighwayGirl (HWG) caught your thieving ass! I'm not going to bother quoting any stuff you may have stolen from me, personally (you are not worth more of my time)...but please know HWG set up space in HT for our people to quote all the things you stole from us.....so feel free to check it out for examples.

It's interesting to note, that I can tell when you copied HT posters as opposed to copying from other sites (I doubt Hardy wrote anything himself).
How do I know? HT recappers are witty, funny, smart, , detailed, original (do you need to look up "original" in the dictionary?) and Rulers of the Snarky Recap!

And we're even NICE!!!!!
I have never, EVER seen any other site (BB related, or not) where the posters don't bash each other, or bitch about their own agenda, or just go nuts. Everyone is amazingly cool, even if we have different takes on things, we're all OK with that.

So, stealing from the good folks at HT really hurts. We all spend hours watching the feeds, typing away, trying to be original, catching all the nuances of the houseguests, and coming up with great ways to present recap material........only to have an ass blatantly 'copy and paste' it on his space.

Hmmm ....sucks to be him.

Carry on.

Sincerely,

FeedMeCoffee (occasional recapper at HamsterTime.net)

Did Mr. Bloomers happen to say if he came here to read this thread?
