Woot! Carry on, HTers!

I'm sure there'll be a dozen posts about this before I get this up, but I'm wondering just how that double eviction is going to go down on Thursday. Chenbot didn't say "double eviction week", she said two evictions Thursday night...and I say it would suck if they were both the choices of one HOH. Even if I were a Scrubicka fan, which I'm not, I would still think that would be a bit much...

Should be interesting!

I agree. It'll be interesting if only for the fact that Erika really only has three choices for nomination. Obviously, she's gonna put up Janelle. The other two have to be KG or Will. There's no way she'd put up Booger or Dani.

Booting out James was one of the worst things that could happen to ChillTown. Will's best bet was to vote for James to stay, so at least he could blame Booger for breaking the tie. Not lookin' too good for Will, I have to say.

I was sick to my stomach to see Booger and Erika celebrating. I can't believe he's safe for yet another week. Ugh.

I am hoping that there will be a semi-physical competition after the first eviction...... and the first two out of that will be the ones the house will vote between. It would be sweet because we all know ChillTown always throws things.... and I for one would like to see it bite them in the arse!!!!

Koolaid Kid,

I suspect one of two things. Erika will nominate 3 people and 2 will be voted out.

Or they will have the first eviction, compete for HoH, instant nominations and instant vote for eviction. Of course, that means no Veto so I'm not sure if they will do that or not.



I think it's what Dani will push for and Mike probably won't object too strongly. Erika won't want to put up Dani and she probably won't want to put up George since he is a potential ally for her (and about the only person she could beat in the F2).

So Erika will tell Will he's a pawn and that the target is Janie. Now is the time for Will to decide if he's going to keep pushing the Janie agenda. I'm crossing my fingers Will walks this week and is totally shocked by it!

And since I don't have the feeds, I haven't been able to access the body language between Booger and Will, so it was interesting to see how they interacted with each other on the show. Even Mr. Kid agreed that the Yoko factor has caused a bit of a rift to form...which is fine with me as long as Booger's the one that ends up leaving the band.

The thought of that repugnant little misogynistic troll winning the game disgusts me, even if the prize were a box of condoms that he would obviously never need. I think I'd rather the Chicken Man win than the buttmonkey. I might even prefer that Scrubicka win over the buttmonkey.

I can see a Janelle/Will nom with CG as veto backup. I don't think Erika will nom Dani...I think she does feel some loyalty to her.

merlynn the nom 3 evict 2 scenario is interesting...but how do you think the voting would work with just the 2 voting? Majority vote gets out one, if there's a tie on the second, Erika breaks the tie? I guess that could work...intresting...

I'm leaning toward this second option, Merlynn. I would hope that they would not let one person be responsible for 2 evictions, that doesn't seem fair to me. Chenbot did say Thursday would be action-packed...but then BB's idea of action-packed and mine are not even remotely similar.




I can understand you and many others feeling that way, but I don't agree at all. To me, watching Will play almost exactly the same style of game that made him known as the Evil Dr, against people who claimed to known what he was all about and yet fell for it anyway, has been the most entertainment in an otherwise bland season. I think anyone taken in by his tactics deserve what they get...even my girl Janey!

What about America votes for one to leave? No one is immune, not HOH or POV. They announce the twist on Sunday's show and we vote until Wednesday.

Koolaid Kid,

Will has played well, but in the last week I think he's slipped some. He's loyalty to Janie just might cost him big. It looks like he wants Mike to work Erika not to nominate Janie. Well crap, there aren't that many people left. I can't believe Erika would go for a Dani/George nomination. If she has any brains, it's going to be Will/Janie. Will should be concerned about covering his own ass right now - not protecting Janie.

If Will is going to risk this much for Janie, I do hope it costs him. After watching him manipulate her to get rid of Marci and then betraying her with Howie, I hope she is his undoing.

Will was entertaining for a while, but there is a huge part of me screaming "Girl power!" right now. It's not that I hate him. It's just that I want to see the puppetmaster get owned.

Co-sign

Erika's in a tough spot this week, because she runs a high risk of ending up with Chicken George evicted and a pissed-off Will and Janelle still left in the game. If George is on the block, he will likely go home - the voter combos would be Will/Boogie/Danielle and Janelle/Boogie/Danielle, and in both cases I think George will be the sacrificial lamb.

Her best bet is to nominate Will and Janelle and hope that the veto isn't used. Unfortunately, fully half the people in the veto competition would use it if they won with that nomination pair (Will, Boogie, and Janelle). Yeesh.... glad I'm not Erika!

That's what I was thinking. If this is really supposed to be the "most interactive season ever" then the audience should get a say in at least one of the evictions. I would love it if it went down that way, because I can almost guarantee Booger would get the boot from America, and his realization that he's so hated will be worth this entire season.

Ok I'm giving this way too much thought and might be giving Erika too much credit, but we don't really know if she is stupid or not yet - other than her taste in men that is.

So I figure she's going to want one of two people gone this week - Janie or Will.

She needs Dani to protect her next week. George and Mike are both allies and possible F2 partners.

Getting rid of Will lets her have Mike to herself. Getting rid of Janie gets rid of the only person in the house out and out targeting her.

Both would be good. So Janie/Will have to be her initial nominations - a pawn is too dangerous right now.

She has to be very careful to make sure they stay the nominations. She has to convince George and Dani to try for Veto and leave nomination alone. That's pretty easy. Then she has to convince Mike to throw it.

If Will wins and takes himself off (unlikely), she has to put Mike up to force Janie out.

If Janie wins, things get more complicated. That's where she would have to put up George I think. Then just cross her fingers Janie and Dani get Will out.

It is going to be interesting to see how Thursday show pans out. Even though Will is trying to convince Boog to convince Erika not to put Janey up (boy that was a lot of convincing) -- you're right who else would she put up? Will/CG? I would actually laugh if she puts Boog up *as a pawn* -- but that is obviously not gonna happen. I wonder if they will give us any clues in the next few days. I have a feeling if Janey doesn't get POV she will be 1 of the 2 leaving.

I didn't post this in the live recap because I wasn't 100% certain about what I heard but I'm almost positive that Erika went to George in the redrum and told him not to worry, she knows what she's doing, doesn't want him to be afraid this week and he told her he knows, she has to do what she has to do. I was ASSUMING that she was warning him now that she's going to put him up but that he will be safe. If that's the case, and I did hear it correctly, things don't bode well for George this week, IMO.

I don't like the idea of an America's choice eviction at all...I'd rather see the HGs battle it out amongst themselves without the outside getting involved. Because you know that basically Boogie or Dani would go and then who would be the foils for Janelle? If she's going to be some kind of heroine this year, she has to have her "villians", no?

Was anyone else completely confused by Chenbot's questions during the HOH competition? The way she was reading them made it very confusing. I would've hated to have to answer like that on the spot.

I'm so bummed Janey didn't win HOH, I was really hoping she would. Now with a double eviction, I really don't think she'll make it through the week. Unless she happens to win POV and that excludes her from the 2nd eviction too.

I think they'll have the first eviction, then have immediate HOH, POV and Vote...wham bam thank you mam. It would be awesome if it was an AC though. We can dream right?

From the live feeds:



I see a real break between Will and Booger and I posted something along these lines over at the other place. They are NOT on the same page.

What pisses me off about this is that I have a TON of personal things I MUST take care of in the next week AND work. How the hell am I'm going to keep up here and do the stuff I have to do? Freakin Life!!!

Janie is going up for sure. Who else? I say Chicken George as a "pawn." No one other than Dani or maybe Janie was going to make a big step at this point and put up anyone else. As a former Erica fan, she is pissing me off this season. And making me ill. That scene with deep tongue and stuff from the show -- thank god I didn't eat (food)! ERGGUGGE. Blech! I really felt for all the recappers who were there to witness!

Two people gone next week? This "twist" (and TPTB are not even calling it that) is gonna be… off the hook!



URGG! I forgot to say something about this. I thought I understood cause I got the first question right and then… I was lost and thought I knew the answers. Very confusing. Crapshoot?

Well I got them all right, but it was a little confusing. I think Julie should have said them all twice before she asked for answers. It wasn't best comp they've done.



It's very interesting that Mike would tell Dani this. I do think a CT split is coming. I think Mike is starting to feel uncomfortable with Will's closeness to Janie. I suspect Mike would be very ok with a Will/Janie nomination and he might have just planted that seed with Dani to see if she can get Erika to do it.

Well Mike did say to chenbot that he was tossed under a bus by Will in S2 (can anyone tell me about that I don't remember Mike's exit) and he was ready to release Will this season if that's what it took to get him farther along. I think Mike wants to be final 2 with Will but is willing to too out Will if that's his only hope of getting to the finals.

I was going to say that Boogie didn't have a shot in hell of making F2 if Will leaves, until I realized that Will has put himself so high on the target list that Boogie has become inconsequential. On the other hand I get the feeling that the only way Boogie will make it to F2 is if Janelle listens to Will's "You will beat Boogie in the final two" spiel and brings him to the end.

Not to say he shouldn't try to get Will out if he wants any chance of winning, he just shouldn't be pushing for it now. If they both make it to final four then he can stab Will in the front.

Bleh. I get the feeling that this year's Final Two will be, much like last year, not to my liking.

This has gotta be the plan. They voided the "Power", which was Booger putting two hammies on the block with no hope of POV - and an immediate vote. I bet they want to still use this and see how it plays out.

I don't really see Booger doing any bus throwing with Dr. Pasty. In the HOH room (before the vote) Will was saying to Boog that he needs to point the finger at him - and then after the vote he told the entire house, "This is all my fault, blame ME." Initially I doubted that Will's ego would allow someone else to take the win, but it sounds as though he really wants to throw himself under the bus and go work the jury in Booger's favor.

[[Edited because I have no freakin' clue as to what I'm doing!!]]

I do think that in his way Boogie knows that he could trust Dani, as she is probably one of the most loyal people to her alliance/*Jason*, and he wants that person to be him. With Erika firmly in his camp, and a great chance that Janelle is going this week, I don't doubt he wouldn't plant the *get rid of Will* seed.

I really don't think Boogie will push the 'don't nominate Janie' thing too far with Erika.

I was totally confused, and from the look on his face, so was Will when it was over.

I thought I heard the question wrong.. or Julie screwed up the answer.. but after typing it out myself just now, I think I got where I messed up.

I don't think so either. This quote is from the recaps now:



This is why I think Will is so far off his game right now. Mike is the member of CT making sense!

If Will really wants to save Janie, do the "throw the Veto her way" thing or make sure you and Mike stay off the block and vote to evict whoever is up against her. Why is Will playing it so hard tonight? This is not the Will we are used to.

It took me a long time to get on the "Janie might be playing Will" bus, but now I'm starting to see it. I hope it's more than just wishful thinking.

Wasn't that the same sequester house from Season 5? That's a nice crib. What do you wanna bet that's Mrs. Moonves' summer home? I was so unimpressed with last years house.

I just wonder if Will will figure out that now's the time to actually try to win a veto himself. They're so stuck on this idea of stealth and not letting anyone know they're helping Janelle, but dude, it's final 5. Now's the time to make a play. And if Will could win veto and pull Janelle off? Danielle would have to go up. Erika's not nomming Boogie, CG would already be up. If a Danielle boot is their goal, that's what their plan should be. And hey Will, DOOG TV...your first comp win ever *and* you publically save the girl. *g*

I would LOVE this, and I expected she'd nominate Janie and Will. But she just told George he was going up as a pawn! Stupid move. Get rid of Will now--he doesn't even like you, Erika.

That house did look like the Season 5 one. I remember Will arriving on those steps (the gay Will).

After the end of the comp, with Will looking so beligerent (and the viewers confused!), I was afraid the powers that be would strip Erika of a second HOH! That would've been too much, no matter whether or not you like her.


I'll triple-sign that!

Oh I'll co-sign that. *grins*

I'm sorry, but this has been driving me crazy for days now. What is "DOOG TV?"

DOOG = GOOD -- just not sure who coined the term DOOG TV.

I don't think they can give one HOH that much power. I'd suspect it is more likely that they will cut the feeds early on Thursday and spend the day doing a "live" eviction as well as a full HOH, nominations, veto comp, veto ceremony, live eviction and another HOH comp. Chenbot said they would have a whole week in one night which isn't really possible but they can certainly fit a whole HOH cycle into one wild day ending with a truly live eviction and another HOH comp. It actually sounds kind of exciting but I'm resigned to the fact that we will probably be shut out from watching it on the feeds.

Ok, it took me a minute to identify all the characters in this picture. I kept trying to figure out who the girl in black was. Oops!

Really.. if CT can keep Erika from nomming either of them.. which shouldnt be too hard cause she's just a girl from a small town called ...'Chill''..
They can pretty much guarentee who goes as they will be the only voting block.
Nom Janie, Nom Dani .. it doesnt matter who gets nommed. CT can then vote out CG and have the females go after each other next week. Or do the right thing and vote out Dani (providing she doesnt get the POV)

Saddass Dani seems to already be over going after CT like its her jawwwwbb..
oooooohh she was so tough and scurry in her DR on the show last night.. 'Dontmesswithmecrybabywithnothingtobackitupcakes.

I figured this was her second option. I think Dani might convince her to go for Will. Erika ran it by Mike and he doesn't like it, but he wasn't freakin' out over it either.

If Dani really wants to go after CT, she needs to get Veto and save George. Then Erika would have to put up Will.

There is nothing I want to see more right now than Will and Janie up post-Veto. I want to see if Will is really going to sacrifice himself for Janie like he says. I want to see if he'll campaign with Dani after he betrayed her with James. I want to see how they handle Will's interview with Julie since he isn't allowed to talk to her!

This veto comp is going to be all out war between Janelle and Danielle, although for once, it's not going to be to secure a Janelle eviction. This is one time Janelle can probably survive staying on the block. Because you know Dani's going to figure out that she can guarantee a Will nom if she wins it. I'm just waiting to see if Will figures out the same thing, and actually goes for it.

My little Janey doll might actually survive this week, and dumb ol' Scrubika won't be able to figure out what happened.

If the noms stay the same with Kitchen George and Janelle, I can definitely see Willboogie voting to keep Janelle, especially if they get wind of what Danielle is trying to do. Will (and even his stupider sidekick Booger) won't like the fact that she's discussing putting up Will. That might torpedo any hopes Scrubika has of being in the final 3 with Turd Town.

If it's Will and Janelle, I can see Danielle trying to work Kitchen George over to evict Will. I'm not sure if that would work, because George is such a dumb asshat, but one never knows.

But if Danielle saves CG with veto, he'll be obligated to vote how she asks. And CG does seem to have some affection for Janelle. I think Will's toast if he's up against Janelle. What might be interesting is if Danielle skips over CG and goes right to Janelle for help. Not sure she'd want to risk it though, since from her perspective, Janelle is totally up Will's ass. But for some reason, I just think Janelle would be down with a plan to get him out. It's just that right now there's no one willing to work with her except for Will. But Janelle is still an emotional player, she mentioned revenge in her DR entries, and I think she'd be cool with getting to be the one who played Will out of the house. Frankly, if she took part in his eviction, that could single-handedly win her the game with the jury.

I've said before that I think Will is off his game so I might be underestimating him, but I don't think Will has a very good read on the house right now. He's so busy trying save Janie, he doesn't realize the target on his back in growing bigger by the day.

I'm not sure if he's ready to outwardly throw all his chips in with Janie yet. So I think he'll try to throw the veto comp her way. I'm 75% sure I'm going to be disappointed this week, but I'm holding out hope that Dani gets with Erika and they pull off something big this week with getting Will out.

I am hoping this is Chicken George's week to go eat some real food in Sequester!!

I totally agree with this. I'm actually HOPING the noms stay the same, and that's assuming she sticks with her plan of nomming CG and Janelle, and I don't see why she would change her mind, especially since everyone she's ran it by is fine with that and Erika isn't really going to make many waves. I fully believe CT will vote out CG rather than Janelle but for Janelle and Will both to stay they need 2 CT's voting. Will and Mike if Janelle goes up or Mike and Janelle if she wins POV and Will is put up as a replacement.

Has Mike told Will Erika mentioned getting Will out before Danielle? I think she surprised Boog with that one, he was like WHAT? YES! Get Danielle out before Will!!

CT can totally explain voting CG out over Janelle, they can argue CG is going to go all the way if someone doesn't get him (and several people, including Danielle have brought up the fact that he could go to the finals) they can argue that Janelle is a better F2 partner for any of them, etc. Or Mike could just blame Will again, whatever. Just don't vote out Janelle. Ha. Or Will. If anyone is looking around and thinking about their end game they're gonna want someone they can beat in the finals to stick around. The most obvious choices are Will and Janelle.

Actually I think end-game choices are exactly why Will is going to be targeted this week.

Will has the reputation as the Best BB player ever. I think there will be some egos on that jury that will want to say they were beat by the "best" and will vote accordingly if Will makes the F2.

I do believe that Dani is smart enough to realize this and do her best to get Will out. Erika should realize it and she should want Mike to herself. George should even realize this, but who knows if he's playing the game to win or not. He does seem to want America to like him so he'd vote Will out over Janie most likely.

To be perfectly honest, I think even Janie realizes that Will needs to go for her to win, but she would probably prefer it not happen this week. Still if it's her or him, she's not going to do anything to save his ass.

I wouldn't consider George a real loss this week, but I'd love it if Will walked out that door followed by Mike.

ETA: One more reason Will should be targeted this week. At this point in the game, you can't have pairs in the game. It's far too dangerous. There is an obvious alliance between Will and Mike. Everyone should want to break that up.

I think Erika would prefer to get Will out over Janey at this point in the game. It makes Boobie more dependent on her, and he'd likely choose Will over her to go to F2 with.

She said to Danielle last night that her plan is for either Janey, CG, or Will to go this week, any would be good. But I bet she'd prefer Will, and will try to make that happen.

Cami, Erika is just telling Danielle that, OR she has been lying to CG all along. Erika has promised CG many times throughout the season that she is with him. They even shook on it last week, not that that means a whole hell of a lot in the BB house, but it was still a shake. Sadly, I think Erika's REAL target is Janey this week. I just hope that the noms stay the same (If it's CG and Janey/Will) and CT keeps Janey. I'd love to see Danielle go before anyone else. If they don't get her out soon, she's going to take the whole game. Will might be a huge target, but Danielle came in second in her season, and that's nothing to scoff at.

Also adding, Dani said to herself last week that her best bet is to take Erika to final two with her, so she's going to go along with getting anyone out this week.

The thing about Erika promising CG that he is safe is that Erika doesn't have the votes to keep him.

I really don't see Erika making any big moves with this HoH. I would be STUNNED if she even half tried to get Will out. If Mike was backing her up then yes, but she mentioned it to him and he shot that idea down rather quickly.

A lot depends on what happens with veto. Erika could get "forced" into nominating Will.

Erika can really only protect 2 people this week no matter what and I think those two people will be Mike and Dani. She has to be willing to accept the loss of George if it comes to it, but there are good odds she can get Will or Janie out which would be much bigger victories for her.

Coming out of lurker mode, cause I just gotta know!

Did anyone else catch James on the Early Show? I savored the moment when he was shown the POV comp, and had to admit that he did not win and Janelle did. Who thinks he will try to convince Marcy and Howie to believe his lying eyes, and that she cheated when he shows them the last weeks taped competitions at the sequester house? That man is a narcissistic sociopath, and Sarah needs to get a clue.

I am a glass half empty kinda girl (only in the last 2 years of BB). My first ugly thought when Julie said weeks worth of crap ending up with a double eviction, was that the winner of the POV would probably be able two nominate 2 houseguests and they would the vote to evict from those nominations. Then just have another HOH contest and business as usual. With all the foul ups - Julie misspeaking, mechanical mistakes, can they actually afford to do several contests on live TV. The Producers will never recover if they were to have another contest redo.

Edited to Add: CBS press release states "that what normally plays out in one week, will play out in one hour, with the first ever live HOH, veto competition, nominations, veto meeting and double eviction taking place all in one hour of television on Thursday. Aug. 31 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT)". Guess I was way way wrong!

well I hope that happens because I'm a big Janey fan and anything that keeps her in the game is good news to me.
