Big Brother 7: Week 10

Since we are in the end game stage in the Big Brother season things moved quickly in the house and most of the action was saved for the live show. Here is a recap of what went down.

Janelle chose to evict Will over Erika because she finally compared notes with Erika and realized that Will would never take her to the finals. Then the three part HOH began. Boogie chose to leave the endurance competition right away and this startled Janelle enough for her to take her hand off the key. Erika thus won part 1. Part 2 was a timed event and Boogie best Janelle's time by half largely due to his upper body strength. Then it was a Q&A for part 3 where Boogie beat Erika by several questions. Boogie chose to eliminate Janelle because she is too great of a competitor and has a lot of friends on the jury. Boogie and Erika are the final 2.

Spoilers for this game are non existent at this point but I can offer you what's going on in the house. It looks like Erika wants to continue the showmance and Boogie is engaging but trying to keep his distance.

On Saturday the jury addressed their questions and comments to the final two. Its hard to determine who will get the most votes from the jury because both Boogie and Erika got some harsh questions. Erika in particular is upset at Janelle's behavior.

Right now its a toss up as to who will get the $500k from the jury. I personally think Boogie will win it because he did play the game the best and there seemed to be some hostility toward Erika from the jury. Also, Erika has gotten quite full of herself these past few days and claims that she got rid of the strongest player in the house (Will) on her own and orchastrated everyone's eviction as well. Erika also goes on to say that she would have "smoked" Janelle in the finals and that Janelle only won the competitions that were thrown to her. Boogie got quite irritated with all of this and had the final straw when Erika said that Will was the brains behind Chill Town. Boogie removed himself from the situation before they got into a fight but clearly the showmance is over.

Big Brother 7: Week 9

In the fastest epiosde of Big Brother ever last night there were two eliminations. Danielle was voted out in a unanimous vote and Janelle won HOH. Right away Janelle had to nominate two people and she chose George and Erika. There was the POV competition in the next segment and Erika just beat out Will in the first ever competition that it looked like Will was actually trying to win. Erika vetoed herself and Janelle had no choice but to put up Boogie in her place. Then they voted immediatly and George was evicted in a 2-0 vote. That was your week in one hour!

After the show, the new HOH competition was held and it was Boogie who won. On Friday Boogie chose to nominate Janelle and Erika. Pretty much Janelle needs to win veto if she has any hope of being saved. That is unless Will decides to keep Janelle. Once again Will has ALL the power in the house.

For the fifth time I beleive Janelle has won the power of veto. Now its between Will and Erika to work thier magic on Janelle since she gets to decide which one stays and which one goes. Erika is pitching that Janelle can't beat Will and she needs the money more than the doctor does. Will says that Erika never wanted Janelle there and Erika would never take her to the finals.

What I think is going to go down is that Janelle will evict Erika. Will will then throw the next HOH because he knows both Boogie and Janelle would take him. We'll see if I'm right come Tuesday when the next live eviction is.

Big Brother 7: Week 8

On Thursday James was evicted in a move the surprised none except Danielle. Erika won the HOH competition in a game that required the houseguests to determine what happened before or after. Erika nominated Janelle and George with the goal of evicting Janelle.

On Saturday the food competition was held and George won a slop pass so he ca neat real food with the rest of the house for the duration of the show. Janelle won the POV again! Causing Erika to decide who to replace Janelle with. Right now it is between Will and Danielle. However, if Will is on the block he has Janelle and Boogie's votes to stay for sure. So Erika needs to decide who she wants to go home; George or Danielle. If Danielle is put on the block she will go home.

Sunday was Christmas in the Big Brother house as they all got woken up by Neil Patrick Harris from How I Met Your Mother and a bunch of gifts. Monday was the POV ceremony and Erika decided to replace the vetoed Janelle with Danielle. The idea is to have Danielle go home on thursday but seeing how Chill Town (plus Janelle) controls the entire vote this week, it will probably be up to the last minute in the air.

Don't forget that Thursday will be double elimination night as two people will be going home. I'm not sure how they are going to pull this one off but it should be interesting.

Big Brother 7: Week 7 (Part Two)

Boogie won HOH just barely beating Janelle. There is some rumor that Boogie's coup d'etat power has been revoked because he discuassed it with another houseguest.

On Saturday Boogie nominated James and Janelle with the later being the target. Saturday evening the POV challenge was held and of course Janelle won it. James was really upset about it and called for a redo but Big Brother would not oblige. It looks like George will be put up in Janelle's place with James being the target to get voted out. Looks like the legion of doom is officially over.

Monday George was nominated to replace Janelle on the block after she used the veto on herself. The idea is to vote out James but we'll see if the house changes their mind this week or not.

Big Brother 7: Week 7 (Part One)

On Thursday's show Marcellas was evicted unanimously and George won the HOH competition in a tiebreaker with Danielle. Boogie found out what his special power is and chose not to use it. George nominated James and Erika right on the spot during the live show because it will be a double eviction week with the next evicted houseguest leaving on Sunday.

Back to the live feeds, everyone is freaking out because George has the power and they all think they can manipulate him. So far it seems that George is most loyal to Janelle and Howie but James is George's real target.

The POV competition was held late last night as George, Howie, Danielle, Erika, James and Will participated. James ended up winning the POV. The entire house is manipulating George to put up Janelle and they may have actually convinced him to do so. Will suggested that he go on the block because he has the votes to stay just to guarantee Erika's eviction. George is really traumatized by all this and isn't sure what to do.

Friday morning George came up to Janelle and Howie to offer them a deal. If they promise to vote out who George replaces James on the block then he will not put up Janelle. Howie and Janelle take the deal and don't even question who the person is who George wants out. Later on it gets out that Will was the person George had in mind but Will quickly declines. George feels he has no choice but to put Howie on the block and does so once James saves himself in the POV ceremony. By the end of Friday night Howie is evicted in a vote of 3-2 and Boogie is the new HOH.

Just to note that this is the fifth straight week where the original target has won veto and the replacement has been voted out of the house. Jase, Diane, Kaysar, Marcellas and Howie were all not on the block when nominations were announced but went out the door on eviction night while the targeted George, Boogie, Janelle, Danielle and James respectively remained in the house.

Big Brother 7: Week 6

In an episode that was shocking to none, Kaysar went home with a vote of 5-1 after James nullified Janelle's vote. The HOH competition was true false about the haunted houseguests they saw and Erika won. Looks like Janelle is out the door this week.

Not so fast! A lot of the houseguests complained of technical difficulties during the HOH competition and Big Brother decided to redo the HOH late last night. The winner is none other than Janelle. I kid you not!

Janelle nominated Danielle and Erika for eviction. Since the rest of the house is convinced that since Janelle can't play the veto they are planning to get Danielle off the block.

The new twist for this week is a coup d'etat which means the houseguest who gets it will win powers to overthrow the current HOH and make new nominations right on the spot. It will probably be revealed on Thursday so they won't have time to discuss and check with allies on who to vote for and will likely have to vote right then and there. Unfortunately any additional details were not given such as if the current HOH or veto holder can be nominated or not. Another part of the twist is that the houseguests do not know what the twist is just that there is one and they will be given clues through out the week as to what the special power is. Once the person thinks they know the answer, they go to the diary room and make a guess. The catch is they can only guess once and will not be told if they are correct or not until the reveal. Several houseguests have made their guesses in the Diary Room. Danielle, Erika, James and George think they all have the answer correct with Danielle especially convinced she won. What I don't understand is how a sheep is going to point them in the direction of the answer and I'd bet that those four who put in their guess already are incorrect.

Friday the food competition was held. This week the challenge was to great a "gourmet" style dish out of slop. They each had 30 minutes to complete this and some former Big Brother contestants were the judges. All the dishes passed except one (I beleive it was Danielle's) so they all won food except for Wednesday. They also won a BBQ grill as well.

Saturday was the veto challenge and staying on par for this season the targeted nominee Danielle won veto. There was some talk of James helping her win it and it sould like everyone else but Howie and Erika threw the veto challge to let Danielle win it. Talk now is of nominating Marcellas but George and Booige are being discussed as pawns. Janelle's intention is to get Erika out of the house.

The second coup d'etat clue is a giant needle and thread. Howie has now given his guess as well which was wolf in sheep's clothing. James' guess was pull the wool over someones' eyes and Danielle's was DNA. Assuming these are all incorrect, now only Janelle, Will, Boogie or Marcellas can win the coup.

In other news, Boogie and Erika are having a showmance. But now apparently Boogie doesn't care if Erika gets evicted. Whatever.

On Monday it seems that Boogie has won the coup d'etat since he guessed "you reap what you sew" after the third clue of a grim reaper came to visit the houseguests. That are Janelle unspurprisingly nominated Marcellas Monday as well.

Big Brother 7: Week 5

After a completely unsurprising 7-1 eviction for Diane we got treated to the annual endurance HOH competition. All the houseguests got to lounge on a huge spider web and get gross stuff sprayed on them in the process. There were 5 mystery eggs to the first 5 to give up in the competition: 2 of them were rotten, 1 had a slop free week pass, 1 had a eviction vote nullifier and the last egg had $10,000.

Will naturally was the first houseguest to get off the web and chose a rotten egg. Janelle was instructed that after about 90 minutes that the remaining HOH contest participants had to crawl under the web and hang from the bottom using only arms and legs. People started dropping out very quickly after that, James being the second one out and chose the eviction vote nullification power. Then Kaysar and Boogie came off about the same time. Boogie got the $10,000 and Kaysar chose the last rotten egg. Marcellas came off a little bit later and obtained the slop pass. George fell shortly after leaving Erika, Howie and Danielle. It was Danielle who wanted the HOH the most begging both Howie and Erika to get HOH. Howie fell and Erika gave it to Danielle. Less than 2 1/2 hours after the HOH competition began, Danielle walked away the victor.

On Friday Danielle nominated Janelle and James with the intention of getting Janelle out of the house. James wasn't too upset about the nomination but wasn't exactly sure of Danielle's plan. Danielle mentioned she wanted to make it look like her and James do not have an alliance but the house isn't buying it. Chill Town wants to flip the script to get James out but are not sure they have the numbers.

Saturday was the veto competition that was another how bad do you want it type of games that involved the food competition as well. Janelle, James, Danielle, Marcellas, Will and Boogie competed in the veto this week. It seems that there was a lot of hot sand and an elaborate set up in the backyard for the veto. The game appeared to work in a way that they would earn points for answering questions and giving up something (food, running water, beds) and could use points to buy things (trip, phone call, party). In the end Janelle has the most points accumulated and won the veto. This throws a huge wrench in Danielle's plan as she is very unhappy Janelle won the veto. Danielle will likely put up Kaysar but Boogie is begging her to put up Marcellas. Kaysar would likely get voted out if he went up but there might be numbers to evict James against Kaysar. There was a lot of wheeling and dealing in the veto competition so it will take a while to sort out who agreed to what but Danielle will have to be in solitary confinement for 24 hours as one of the things she agreed to.

Monday was the veto ceremony and Danielle did what was expected. When Janelle took herself off the block with the veto Danielle nominated Kaysar in her place. It looks very likely that Kaysar will be voted out of the house. Chill Town and the remaining non nominated S6 alliance want to try go get James out but since he has the one vote nullifyer the vote would need to be 5-2 in Kaysar's favor since Danielle would break the tie and save James.

Big Brother 7: Week 4

On Thursday Jase was evicted in a surprising unanimous vote and kept referring to being back doored. Unfortunately Jase got the definition wrong this time since he was not James' original eviction plans and since the veto players are chosen at random nobody can plan for a true backdoor. Jase only has himself to blame for not choosing a side and becoming the first "floater" to get thrown out.

Janelle won head of household in a game that should have allowed the rest of the house to guarantee none of the season 6 alliance members got HOH. The house sealed their fate for another week of tip toeing around S6 when both Will and Erika chose not to get rid of Janelle during the challenge.

The house had an upexpected late night food challenge on Thursday with all of the S6 getting food for the week. Leaving people such as Diane, Boogie and Will on slop. Will threatened to take a penalty nomination and eat regular food since he claims he does not care about getting evicted anyhow but I think the producers notified Will of the legal ramifications of that decision and Will backed off.

Janelle ended up nominating Boogie and Erika. The idea is that Boogie will get evicted but S6 doesn't mind if Erika ends up going. Janelle did not take Will's deal to keep him and Boogie safe and merge S6 and Chill Town in the process. The whole house is paranoid that one of the houseguests will get to come back into the game and it will be Jase on a rampage. There is no reason to believe this will happen and the houseguests are getting too caught up in the "what if" game.

All Friday night the houseguests kept getting woken bothered every 15 minutes by wake up calls. Most of them were from fans but Alison and Diane's mom recorded a message as well. The veto competition was held at 5am Big Brother time after the veto players of Janelle, Will, Boogie, Howie, Erika and Diane were chosen Friday night. The 6 veto players were told to be ready at any time during the night and would have one minute to get to the back door. Supposedly it was some sort of mental competition that lack of sleep was going to become a detriment but in the end it was Boogie who on the veto. However in doing so Boogie cut his foot and was required to leave and go to the hospital for stitches. Boogie came back to the house shortly after. Janelle now needs to decide who she is going to put up in Boogie's place. Her alliance is pressuring her to put up Will but she is thinking of putting up Diane. Janelle will probably get at least a day to think about it but at this accelerated pace there might be come twist coming this week.

Sunday there was a luxury competition where the houseguests were asked to participate in a pit crew challenge. The prize was a screening of Talladega Nights in the HOH room that was converted into a movie theater for the night. The winning team consisted of Janelle, James, Will, Diane, Danielle and Boogie. The losing team got a deck of cards and played games while the movie was shown.

Janelle was approached by Will and Boogie again to nominate floaters and in return will offer protection to Janelle and some of her alliance. Janelle thought long and hard and eventually decided to put up Diane in Boogie's place because she is more of a threat to Janelle. James caught wind of this and was very upset that Janelle made the decision based on what was best for her and not the foursome because if that was how they were playing then he would have kept Jase. Danielle is getting really excited about this and thinks that she has a deal to the final 4 with James and Chill Town. Supposedly the 4 have agreed to put up Janelle if they get HOH next week but everyone's true intentions are not known at this point.

Voting that was supposed to be done on Wednesday became delayed and will most likely happen on the live show. The houseguests know a twist is coming but think it means someone extra will be added to the house or brought back. The rumor is that all the voting delay means is that they have all made it to sequester as there will be a jury of 9 instead of the usual 7. The plan at the moment is to vote out Diane but Chill Town wants to flip the script and get Erika out. At this point the house pretty much does not care. Expect to see Diane get evicted live on Thursday.

Big Brother 7: Week 3

Thursday's eviction went as expected because Nakomis went home with a large percentage of the vote. Janelle voted to evict Diane for personal reasons and Will did the same just to stir the pot. James beat Danielle in a tiebreaker to win HOH and the "Season 6" reign continues.

On Friday the houseguests had a food competition. This time they paired up to move a bowling ball over a ramp that has holes and a gutter on each side. If the ball falls into the gutter they have to eat slop for the day. Each pair plays for a certain day of the week. The houseguests must have been pretty good at the game because they won the top prize, a catered meal, each day of the week except Wednesday and Friday when they will eat breads and vegetables.

James announced his nominations late on Friday. Will and George were nominated as expected. Surprisingly the goal at this time is to get George out as "Season 6" has made some sort of peace with "Chill Town". It seems they both are in a real agreement to get out floaters first.

On Saturday the Big Brother house got shaken up with an unprecedented Power of Veto competition. Kaysar, Boogie and Jase were the other participants in the POV and it seems the game consisted of a "who wants it more" style of play rather than an actual competitor. Gorge ended up winning the POV because she shaved his head, dyed his skin blue and agreed to eat slop for the next 60 days. Kaysar also got shaved and dyed but in the end George prevailed. There may also be some sort of stipulation that George cannot win the POV again and Kaysar lost the ability to win POV for next week only. James became very upset as his plan to get George out got ruined. The idea is to put up Jase or Boogie and vote him out. For some reason they are all staying away from getting rid of Will since they think they can evict him at any time since Will insists on leaving before sequester.

Big Brother gave the houseguests an extra day to stew over the fact that George won the veto. On Sunday Chill Town tried to convince James to get rid of another floater, particularly Marcellas, and in return Boogie, Will and Jase will become semi allies with the Season 6 alliance. This agreement would be to trget floaters for the next few weeks. James almost convinced himself that this was the way to go but Janelle and Howie finally talked him out of it.

On Monday the power of veto ceremony was held and James nominated Jase to take George's place. This caused a lot of tension in the house but the idea for now is to get Jase out. The house pretty much thinks that Will can be taken any time out before sequester because thats when Will wants to leave the game.

Tuesday's was a pretty light day in terms of strategy since most of the house does not care who goes home. However, Danielle has been leading the charge to keep Jase and get Will out of the house. James and Kaysar are on board with this plan so it will be interesting to see how it all works out. By the time Wednesday's vote comes up its actually Jase who is going. The house pretty much decided he was a bigger threat.

Big Brother 7: Week 2

On Thursday's live show we saw Alison get booted by a vote of 8-2. The ones who voted for Danielle were Nakomis and Diane. Remember this, it may become important later. Alison gave the fakest interview seen in years and then Kaysar won head of household which was back to the single version for this week.

Friday began with a food competition. Teams were broken up to two sets of six each with the HOH Kaysar getting to join the winning team with food privileges for the week. The red team was Jase, George, Will, Diane, Boogie and Erika while the blue team was Howie, Janelle, Marcellas, James, Nakomis and Danielle. The game was to pick out 12 fake plastic rats from a trough of "slop" in the fastest time. The red team won regular food for the week and the blue team gets treated to eating slop, which is a mushy protein oatmeal type substance.

Nominations were also revealed on Friday. Kaysar didn't surprise many by putting Diane and Nakomis on the block. No real talk yet of who the house is gunning for but I suspect Diane has more friends and will get some of the boys to keep her in the house. That and BB6 seems more threatened by Nakomis anyway.

The power of veto competition was held on Saturday. The game was some sort of oversized golf challenge and Erika won. Early speculation is that Erika will not use the veto but some of the other BB6 alliance want Erika to use it and then put up Boogie or Will in hopes that BB6 can get a deal with one side or the other. Usually these complicated plans don't pan out but I'll keep you posted once the POV ceremony is complete.

Monday the power of veto ceremony was held and no suprise it was that Erika did not use the POV. At this time it looks like Diane might be on the way out because Nakomis is really working hard to save her butt. But there is still a lot of discussion about who to vote for. As it stands now the decision is pretty much up in the air.

By Wednesday the house decided they did not have the votes to get rid of Diane so it looks like it is going to be a unanimous vote to evict Nakomis. Diane looks like she will be working with Will and Boogie for next week.

Big Brother 7: Week 1

Things are moving right along in the Big Brother house as the Power of Veto challenge was held on Friday. Both Co-HOHs Janelle and Jase competed as well as the nominees Alison and Danielle. It seems that this season the nominees will not be able to choose those who will compete in the POV. This time a roulette type wheel was used and determined that Kaysar and George would round out the competitors for the POV competition. After a long break, the houseguests returned from the backyard after what appeared to be a POV that had to do with smelly fish and cages. Janelle was the victor and wearing the POV necklace.

On Sunday the Power of Veto ceremony was held, as expected Janelle did not use the POV and kept the nominations the same. At this point it sounds like Alison will be getting evicted on Thursday night due to a house consensus. As for strategy talk, there is no real alliance forming and scheming as of yet. Everyone wants to go after the four from season 6 but are not unified and sure about how to accomplish this yet. Will and "Boogie" are other popular targets while Howie has gotten his feathers ruffled by Nakomis and wants to get her out next. Danielle and "Chicken" George seem to not be safe for the near future either. It all really depends on who the next heads of household are as the whole BB7 group is laying low for the time being.

Tuesday's episode on CBS pretty much was just confirmation of what the live feeds told us with the one exception of the scary slip 'n slide activity. As always CBS showed the vote as going to either Alison or Danielle while the feeds show that it was very heavily favoring Alison and have not balanced out to more of an indecision. it looks like 5 will be voting to keep Alison (Diane, Nakomis, George, Boogie and Will) and 5 will be voting to keep Danielle (Kaysar, James, Howie, Erika, and Marcellas). They have been told since there are two HOHs that a tie vote will be broken by the POV holder which is Janelle anyway. This whole plan hinges on Marcellas getting over his bitterness toward Danielle and actually casting a vote to keep her. Janelle is promising Marcellas the world as she is very threatened by Alison.

Wednesday update: Voting was completed this morning and it looks like it might be a 9-1 vote to get Alison out. Everyone got tired of her campaigning and saw Janelle would break the tie get Alsion out anyway. So now all is calm until the next HOH is decided.

Updated 7.12.06

Big Brother 7: Premiere

The seventh edition of Big Brother is officially underway. All 14 houseguests were correctly revealed in the audio leak from earlier in the week. Speculation is that CBS had a hand in the leak in order to create some early buzz. At this point I would certainly hope that is the case since these flubs are happening quite frequently.

One thing that was actually surprising was both the HOH competition and nominations were revealed on tonight's premiere broadcast. Usually Big Brother drags out the first nominations and eviction for a couple of weeks but its nice to know they are getting right to business. Janelle and Jase won Co-Head of Household which seems to be a permanent twist at least for the early weeks. Janelle and Jase had to agree on the nominations or else they would both be put up for elimination. Danielle and Alison were the two that tried to convince Jase to disagree with Janelle in order to get Janelle out of the house. That plan back fired as Danielle and Alison were put on the block.

The Power of Veto competition and ceremony will likely be held over the weekend as well as any food or luxury competitions. Check back to Queen TV for the latest on competition spoilers, voting/alliance talk or anything juicy that may happen on the live feeds because until CBS shows it, they are all spoilers!

Big Brother Houseguests Leaked?

CBS has done it again! Knowing that the selected houseguests moved in to the Big Brother house on July 3, those with live feed subscriptions have been watching the default screen for any indication of who is living in the Big Brother house. Well, the audio had apparently been switched on today for a while and here is the list of the 14 houseguests that are in the Big Brother house. Unfortunately there is no indication of who was voted in or who the producers chose.

BB1: George
BB2: Mike, Will
BB3: Danielle, Marcellas
BB4: Alison, Erika
BB5: Diane, Jase, Nakomis
BB6: Howie, James, Janelle, Kaysar

Also, there are indications that both Janelle and Jase are currently head of household. They need to agree on who to nominate or else they will become the nominees. No word on how the pair became head of household but it is unlikely that a competition has taken place so early in the game. Perhaps they are the highest male and female votes and the prize for winning "America's Choice" is HOH for the first week. Personally, I am very happy with the selection of houseguests for BB7 and I can't wait for the official premiere on Thursday.

Voting Open for Big Brother 7

The Big Brother 7: All-Stars top 20 has been officially revealed. In this list of 20 we have some old favorites and a few we forgot that we loved to hate. Nothing about this list is a surprise since CBS leaked the list weeks ago when the voting website and had the content up for a few hours. Whoops... Anyway, now is time to vote for who you want to be in the BB7 house. The three guys and three girls who get the most votes will automatically get into the house and the producers will round out the group of 12 who will make up this season of Big Brother. Vote by midnight eastern time on Wednesday, June 28th at http://www.cbs.com/primetime/bigbrother7/. There is no limit to how many times you can vote. Get to voting make sure your favorites get in the house!

Below are the 20 potential contestants for Big Brother 7: All-Stars, broken down per season. As you can see there is quite a favoritism to seasons 2,5,6. Personally, I would like to see some people from the earlier seasons get voted in and I think all of the previous winners should not get another chance because they will be targeted early anyway. Since all the reality stars for the most part hang out in LA and have cliques, you can bet that there is already alliances and strategies in place before any of them set foot in the house. This is shaping up to be quite an interesting summer!

BB1: George
BB2: Bunky, Mike "Boogie", Monica, Will
BB3: Danielle, Lisa, Marcellas
BB4: Alison, Dana, Erika
BB5: Diane, Jase, Michael "Cowboy", Nakomis
BB6: Howie, Ivette, James, Janelle, Kaysar

Big Brother Top 20 Update

I'm updating my previous post about the potential list of Big Brother Top 20 candidates. This week CBS has made another mistake and revealed the identity of those potential contestants that was supposed to be kept secret until the June 21st special edition of Big Brother. CBS has made similar goofs like this in the past so its fairly certain that these 20 will be the ones we can vote for. The link has since been taken down or else I would provide it so you could see for yourself but this fact adds more credibility to the mistake. If you also go back to the post I made a week or so ago, you will see that most of the 20 I had is listed here and gives us another reason to believe this is the top 20. The ones with ^ by their name are assumed from my previous list because of some common names that could be several people.

BB1: George
BB2: Bunky, Mike^, Monica, Will^
BB3: Danielle, Lisa, Marcellas
BB4: Alison, Dana, Erika
BB5: Diane, Jase, Nakomis
BB6: Howie, Ivette, James, Janelle, Kaysar, Michael^

As for who I'm voting for and would like to see in the house are Diane, Nakomis and Janelle for the women and George, Kaysar and Marcellas for the men. It was a tough choice for me and I would like to see most of the 20 on BB7 but I have to make a selection because I can't vote for all of them. I am not voting for previous winners because I think they will be targeted and ousted early anyway but Alison and Will would certainly make for an interesting house dynamic.

Big Brother All-Stars Voting Update

Its almost time to get out to the polls and vote for your favorite former Big Brother contestant to compete on this season of Big Brother All-Stars. CBS has announced that on Wednesday, June 21st at 8pm eastern there will be a Big Brother preview show where Julie Chen will reveal the 20 candidates to vote for and will kick off the online vote that night. Rumor has it that the top 3 guys and girls with the most votes will be automatically on the show while the producers get to select the other 6 to round out the cast. Here is to hoping that there will be some great people to choose from!

Updating this one day later, I found a list of potential Big Brother All-Stars contestants who will comprise the top 20 for the audience to vote for. This list is not sent in stone as all of these contestants might not have commited to the season yet or CBS may change their minds but here is what the top 20 looks like now. The 5 with * by their name have appeared on another list, alternates perhaps? We'll find out on June 21st.

BB1: George Boswell
BB2: Will Kirby, Mike “Boogie” Malin, Bill “Bunky” Miller, Monica Bailey, Shannon Dragoo*, Sheryl Braxton*
BB3: Lisa Donahue, Danielle Reyes, Marcellas Reynolds
BB4: Jun Song, Erika Landin
BB5: Diane Henry, Jase Wirey, Holly King, Scott Long, Will Wikle*, Lori Valenti
BB6: Ivette Corredero, James Rhine, Ashlea Evans*, Janelle Pierzina, Howie Gordon, Kaysar Ridha, Michael Donnellan*

Big Brother 7: All-Stars! Viewers Choice!

As all the season long shows begin to wind down to their finale dates, it has me thinking about some of the upcoming summer shows. In particular, one of my favorite and most addicting summer shows: Big Brother. Here is the information I have gathered so far about this summer's Big Brother 7. Check back here for updates!

It is widely speculated that the 2006 edition of Big Brother is going to be an All-Star season. CBS picked up the 7th season of Big Brother unusually early last October and rumor has it that this was due to the network approving the idea of an All-Star edition and needing the extra time it would take to cast the past houseguests. It has also been speculated that CBS wants to capitalize on the huge popularity of Kaysar by giving a third chance to win the 500k. Other evidence points to the All-Star edition being likely such as the application link has been removed from the CBS website much earlier than usual and former houseguest Kaysar and Dr. Will hinting that the rumors may be true. What is not clear at this time is who will be cast on said edition of Big Brother other than Kaysar. Also, it is rumored that it may be All-Stars versus "non stars" but this is one of the least popular scenarios.

This rumor is gathering steam as we get closer to summer. I'm hearing that the All-Stars edition cast may be chosen by the audience out of 20 selected by the network. Time think about which past houseguest you want to see back on the show. I'd love to see Kaysar, Amy, Marcellas, Jason, and Janelle. I hope someone from season 1 is included and no past winners are allowed back into the game. Although it might be tough to keep the evil Dr. Will out of the All-Star edition.

We do know that the houseguests will begin their lock in on Monday, July 3rd and the first episode will likely air on Thursday, July 7th. That is less than 3 months away so get ready for some Big Brother!

CBS has now confirmed that Big Brother 7 will indeed be an All-Stars edition. A list of 20 candidates will be available soon and the audience will vote on who they would like to see cast on the show. There is one twist (of course big Brother would have a twist). The twist is that the producers will reserve the right to "veto" some of the audience's decisions and cast some less popular houseguests. Why didn't they just say Eric is going to be in the house even if he receives zero votes? It is obvious who the producers want in that the audience does not like. But I'll save my judgment for later. I'll update when I hear about the top 20 and how you can cast your vote.
