Big Brother discussion thread

Wow!! I was surprised that Dani actually put James up. Anything can happen when you are on the block. Dani said "Trust me James" but she doesn't get a vote on Thursday night. I can totally see ChillTown wanting to keep Janelle around.

I was also surprised that Erika gave Dani HOH by jumping off the spider web. I'd like to see Erika play the game a little more instead of trying to fly under the radar so much.

Interesting show tonight.
I can't believe that Janelle won HOH again!

Do you guys think that Dani guessed the sheep thing correctly? If so, then you KNOW she'll put up Janelle and Howie right away last minute on Thursday.

A few thoughts on the show:
Erica should have been given at least a co-HOH position. She worked hard that first competition and deserved some kind of reward despite the malfunction. Instead she ends up on the block. I do not think that was very fair to her.
I think the new power adds another dimension to the game that should be fun.
I have my own theory on the phrase. I came up with it as soon as I saw the sheep. No one has said my phrase yet. I will let you know if I was right.
Will and Boogie have played this game magnificently. Have you noticed how they went from being the primary early targets, to not even being mentioned by either side when it comes to putting people up.
What in the world is Janelle thinking? She wins competition after competition, but she does not realize that she has 0 real allies in the game. James and Howie voted for her the last week and she treats them as her best friends. LOL She is gone the first time she loses HOH and the veto in the same week. Or with the new power....anything could happen.
Anyone else think Janelle acts like a dingbat 95% of the time? Yet she wins all the competitions. Must be frustrating to Erika and Danielle, who act much more intelligent day to day.

There has also been talk on a BB forum that Mike & Erika are dating in real life (according to Will) and have been for about 5 months. If you noticed her comment last night after her nomination it's quite possible this is true which would really put a new twist to the alliances.

[ShainaT]

That would be very interesting. I was surprised to see Erika ask Mike for a kiss. If nothing else she is at least starting to play the game!!

Yes, I agree she should have received something. When they announced it would be replayed, I thought she should receive immunity that week. But, the co-HOH would have been a good option as well.

Or maybe this WAS the twist and BB is even tricking us~ maybe Jannie won the new power and so they redid HOH giving her all the answers.....okay, maybe not;p

[chippers21]

I like the new twist. Anything could happen. Danielle had a pretty good guess. Howie chose my guess: a wolf in sheep's clothing. Doctor Will and Mike were discussing another good guess: you reap what you sew.
As I understand it, the person who gets the new power could change the nominees and then they would have to vote immediately on Thursday.


Don't you just love those conversations they show between Mike Boogie and Doctor Will? This IS the best Big Brother ever.

I can't believe that Janelle still feels that James is on her side. My goodness, look at all the things he has done to help Danielle lately.

Will & Boogie are something else. Very smooth & witty. I'm enjoying them, Will mostly. I wouldn't be surprised if one of them wins the entire game.

I have a feeling whoever gets the coup de tat thing will put up Janelle & Howie and Janelle will be gone on Thursday. As of last nights show, the only ones that hadn't guessed were Will, Boogie & Janelle. I think one of them will win it, since the others all guessed early without waiting on the other clues.

Wow! What a show tonight. Poor Marcellas.

I've gotta ask how both George and Dani totally missed the HOH question so completely. # of minutes in a week with no hot water? They were both so off.

I wonder if there is a POV competition before Sunday. Interesting!

[ShainaT]

WHAT? What the heck happened tonight?

I can't believe that George put up Howie and now Howie is gone!

It will be interesting to see who Mike puts up.

[chippers21]

I have posted the new questions. To make it harder, you must predict a long way in advance for the next set of questions. It will be 2-3 weeks before the points are scored for these questions. Good luck everyone.

As to the show, it seems to me that Doctor Will and Boogie are running the whole show now. Poor Janelle cannot depend on anyone except herself. I am always stunned and amazed at how Will manipulates everyone. "Put me on the block".....How many times has he told them to do it? Big Brother knew what they were doing by putting this combo on the All-Star show. For me, Will is even more memorable than any of the Survivor or Amazing Race winners.

I was blown away by last nights show.

I have to say, though I think I'm in the minority here - I'm really not a Boogie fan. I'm so irritated by him. I thought his behavior last night sucked...yet he came out in the end with more power than anyone in BB history (HOH, Coup de Tat, and the smart Dr Will alliance) I'm not understanding how he and Erika could have been in a relationship for 5 months...they are in the house right now...and Mike first had a thing for Diane. I'll have to check out one of the BB websites and see if there's anything more on that. I'll update here if I find anything of significance.

I thought Danielle's behavior when Boogie won HOH was obnoxious. You'd think after seeing Will and Boogie in their BB seasons, the houseguests would recognize that they are NOT to be trusted. She has put all her trust in Boogie and Will...may be nice for the next couple weeks - but they'll have her out in a second when it comes down to it. Maybe she's smart enough to know when to stray. Same is true for Erika and James.

It really boggles my mind, though.....these people watched the show before....they should have all agreed that getting chill town out was their priority. There was only two of them...it would have been easy if they had done it from day one.

I was a Will and BB6 fan coming in to BB7....and I'm still a fan of Janelle and Will...I'd like to see one of them win. They're both really strong players....and both deserve to win for their strengths, in my opinion.

What's everyone's guess as to who Boogie nominates? (are we allowed to guess here?) I'm thinking Janelle and James....and telling James he's a pawn - though you know they'd care less if he left.

Whew...can you tell I'm a BB fan?? I've been watching since season 1!! It's my guilty pleasure.... I hope they run with the show for another several seasons!

[momof3girls]

I don't like Boogie either, never have. I don't think I'd like him in real life either, he is just too annoying and a wannabe.

I do like Janelle & Will. I'd like to see one of them win too, although Will won before. Don't like James, I think he is just too sneaky and not entertaining. He whines a lot.

It's too bad that George fell for Boogie's stuff and put up Howie. I wish George would have let them all know that Will told him to put him up. Maybe he did and we just didn't see it.

Don't forget on Tuesday it is on at 9pm, not 8.

[ShainaT]

Momof3girls: You are dead on about James. He is always complaining and seems MEAN this season. He comes across as a very bitter guy.

Only four people can vote tomorrow night (Janelle, Erika, Will and Dani). It will be interesting to see what happens. I'd like James to go!

Gotta root for ChillTown though! They are playing the GAME! I love it!

[TTMommy]

This is just my third Big Brother, so I was rooting for BB6 all the way, since they were the ones I knew and had enjoyed--"The Friendship" turned my stomach, frankly...--but I have to say that Will's game play is absolutely brilliant. He really seems to have everyone convinced that he doesn't care if he stays or goes, which makes him incredibly dangerous. He's also engineering things so that if he and Boogie end up being the last two standing, Mike will take the fall (as he should--his outburst toward Howie last week was mean-spirited and childish). Not only is Will the brains behind their alliance, but what can anyone say against him? That he lied? He's been totally upfront about that. (Love his t-shirt to that effect! ) He's smart, and he's charming, and Janelle, among others, is putty in his hands. I can't help liking and admiring him despite his deviousness, and we viewers know a heck of lot more than his housemates do!

P.S. I, too, hope James goes. He's a devious liar who's just not likeable this season. And he thinks he's a lot more cunning than he actually is.
