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.

At the twins' school Eric is complaining to a very disinterested Principal about the inappropriateness of being hit on by the twins' teacher. The Principal does not believe Eric and doesn't think the school board will as well. The Principal suggests maybe Eric is making all of this up because Annie is out of town and he needs some attention. Eric suggests putting the twins in another class and the Principal laughs at him and tells him to get some rest.

Eric is visiting a patient named Stanley in the hospital who was expecting Lucy instead. Eric offers his assistance instead but Stanley is still upset he did not get to see Lucy. Stanley notices Eric is not doing so well and asks what happened. All Eric says is that he had an incident with the twins' teacher and principal that he is not too proud of and is having a bad day. Stanley points out if Eric has a house, wife and kids who love him and is not addicted to any substances then he cannot have a bad day. Stanley notices Eric's jacket and says its nice, Eric accepts the compliment but then Stanley says he wants the jacket for himself. Eric offers to buy him the same jacket but Stanley wants that particular one. Eric changes the subject and asks how Lucy and him met. Stanley explains that Lucy almost ran him over with her car.

Eric is at the doctor's office and is concerned about Stanley.

The doctor then says that he is not happy with Eric's test results and he should see his own doctor to go over them. Eric wants to know right away what the problem is especially if he needs heart surgery again. As Eric takes a call from Lucy about picking the boys up from school, the doctor implies that surgery is not the issue.

Project Runway 3 Spoilers

Project Runway usually keeps a pretty good lid on spoilers until fashion week when it becomes common knowledge who the final 4 are. However, there are a few tidbits to share on the interesting third season of Project Runway.

First, one of the designers is getting kicked off the show for violating the rules. This designer is none other than Keith, our men's wear designer. The reason for the booting is not entirely clear but most of the buzz is surrounding stolen/copies sketches or smuggled fashion books.

Second, there is evidence to suggest that Milan will be back in one way or another. Milan could be the replacement after Keith's departure or he could be chosen by one of the final 3 as a helping hand on their finale collection.

Also, there is word that the Barbie designer Robert will make it to the final 3. Many of you may have heard that one of the models, Jia Santos, was seriously hurt in a bus accident on her way to the final challenge thus possibly identifying her final 3 designer. Unfortunately Jia's current designer is basket hat Vincent who is unlikely to make it that far.

Rescue Me 3.12 Spoilers

This episode will air August 22, 2006.

Lou is helping Tommy choose a casket for Johnny. The funeral director tries to talk them into the high end model but they settle on the middle of the road option. Lou and Tommy get then get the news about Jerry.

Teddy is having a visit with his wife Ellie when she gets very upset about something and begins crying. Teddy isn't sure what to make of the situation and isn't sure this is what he bargained for. Later on Teddy is beginning to realize he does not have the ideal situation and is sick of being confined.

At the police station Luis is explaining to Tommy and Lou that they caught the guy who shot Johnny. Apparently the guy confessed he was paid to shoot Johnny but the police have not determined by who or why. Luis tells Tommy that he can have a few minutes alone with the guy and do whatever he wants because nobody will be around and there will be no videotape or anything.

Tommy goes into the interrogation room and finds a young black kid. The kid is scared because he knows what's coming to him. Tommy instead asks the kid if he has any brothers. The kid says yes and Tommy says that the kid should know how he feels. That growing up Tommy and Johnny were always paired together because they were close in age and they always fought but he had respect for Johnny until he started sleeping with his wife. The kid speaks up and wants to know when he is getting beat up. Tommy says that he will get taken advantage of enough in prison so there is no need for anything extra. Lou and Luis are listening to all of this and are dumbfounded.

Tommy, Lou and Janet are at the funeral home trying to decide if they want an open or closed casket ceremony. Janet is very upset but she wants comfort in Tommy. Meanwhile Lou excuses himself and goes outside. Lou talks to his nun lady friend about getting a boat and escaping the world because she does not want to experience the backlash of leaving the convent.

Back at the hospital Jerry's son Peter has arrived. Jerry is awake now and he is trying to write on a notepad and having a difficult time. Jerry can also speak but his speech is slow and slurred.

Johnny's funeral is outside and hundreds of people are in attendance. During the ceremony Janet, Tommy and Maggie notice someone in the crowd, they all begin signing to her. That person is Rosemarie, the estranged sister of Tommy who is hearing imparts. After the ceremony, they all the Gavins approach Rosemarie and talk to her in sign language. Sean joins the signing conversation and Maggie is impressed. Maggie explains to Sean that Rosemarie was exiled as a child to a boarding school for the deaf as her parents wanted to shun the child that was different. Maggie and Tommy were the only ones who cared enough to learn sign language and keep in touch with Rosemarie though the years.

Maggie then spots a priest who is leaving the cemetery and has a brilliant idea. Maggie approaches the priest and asks him to marry her and Sean right then and there. At first the priest objects but once $500 is offered he becomes much more agreeable. Maggie then yells for all the departing people to come back and tells Sean to steal some flowers from a casket.

Everyone has returned for the wedding ceremony. Sean is really nervous and stumbles over his words then starts sneezing because of the flowers and throws out his back. Maggie sees this is deteriorating rather fast and tells the priest to speed it up. Maggie and Sean are pronounced man and wife as the crowd celebrates.

Rosemarie then approaches Tommy and they talk about how Rosemarie is doing. She is really happy and gives Tommy some advice about happiness. Tommy says he appreciates the words but Rosemarie says that she got that same advice from Tommy years ago. Rosemarie leaves Tommy alone to contemplate this.

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.

Huge One Tree Hill Spoilers

Episodic spoilers for One Tree Hill can pop up very infrequently but to my surprise I have some goods to share about the fourth season. In the accident, one person will not survive and it looks like Uncle Cooper is the one. Rachel is supposed to have suffered a miscarriage in the accident possibly answering the pregnancy test in the purse question from the finale. Karen is indeed pregnant and will have a baby girl. Chris Keller will return but nothing is known yet about what his role will be. As I mentioned before Peyton will get a new romantic interest named Derek. I also hear that there are rough seas ahead for Brooke and Lucas but Nathan and Haley will have an easier road. Haley's big secret is that she got into Duke. Finally, Mouth is supposed to be the one who wrote "murderer" on Dan's wall because he was a secret witness to the what happened in the school. Sounds like a juicy season already!

What About Brian 2.02 Spoilers

This episode should air in October.

Brian is having flashbacks to new years eve party one year when he wanted to tell Marjorie how he feels. There was some incident involving a spilled champagne glass and Brian wanted to replace Marjorie's drink. But the crowd was so thick Brian could not get to her and Marjorie found Adam instead. The flashback continues on later with Adam asking Brian to get some girl named Lucy away from him. Brian tries to protest but Adam gives him $50 to take a cab and get Lucy home.

After this flashback Brian gets upset and tells Marjorie and Adam that they should not get married. Adam responds by punching Brian in the face.

Nicole is confronting Marjorie's seamstress because it seems that the seamstress had misunderstanding and Marjorie's veil was not made. Nicole is very upset and explains that it is the veil that makes someone a bride and not just a girl wearing a white dress. The seamstress is moved and lets Nicole take one of the veils already made in the store to Marjorie.

Brian is upset by all of his flashbacks and realizes he has to do something to tell Marjorie how he really feels. It appears that Brian's car has been wrecked and he has no transportation. Brian is in a panic and asks the neighbor who he does not know named Philip to borrow his car. Philip says no but Brian begins to beg and explains that he has to do something so he can stop being walked all over. Philip hesitates for a second and Brian jumps in the car. Philip yells after him because there are still groceries in the car. As Brian is on the road he gets a flat tire. Brian goes in the trunk to get a jack and finds a bunch of live lobster in the trunk. Brian manages to get the jack out but finds there is no spare tire and takes off on foot.

Desperate Housewives 3.03 Spoilers

This episode should air October 8, 2006.

Gabby is alone at a restaurant and asks for a table for one. The hostess gives Gabby a sympathetic look but Gabby says that she is so beautiful that she will have plenty of company soon enough. The hostess gets annoyed and seats Gabby at a table with 6 chairs. Then Gabby notices a good looking man glancing at her. The man approaches and points at the empty chair beside her. Gabby smiles and nods as the man carries the chair back to his table. Gabby is not pleased.

Bree is in a bad part of town looking for Andrew while passing out flyers. Bree approaches someone who looks like a transexual and a kid but neither of them have seen Andrew. The transexual suggests they look at a soup kitchen and then asks Bree who did her "surgery". Later on we see Andrew homeless on television.

One of the men (perhaps someone named John?) meets a very sexy and naive young woman named Tammy at a hotel. The man is trying to hide the contents of a suitcase and insists they go down to the lobby to exchange it. It seems like there might be a person in the suitcase as there are small noises coming from it that the man is hiding. Tammy finds a ladies watch on their way into the hallway and mistakenly assumes it is a gift for her. The man is horrified at the recent turn of events.

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.

Rescue Me 3.11 Spoilers

There has been a lot of attention about this spoiler and although I do not suspect it is a foiler, I want to warn that this could always be the case for end of the season episodes. I also want to point out that at the end of this post contains a major character spoiler so if you wish to avoid it, do not read the last paragraph.

This episode will air August 15, 2006.

The episode begins with the crew on a call at a large apartment building. They think that everything is clear until they realize that one of the back apartments have not been cleared. In that room they find a small man named Warren who is attached to a computer that allows him to breathe and speak. They guys are all amazed that the man can do this but then they realize that its going to be impossible to get Warren out of the apartment because his wheelchair and computer are too heavy to lift but he will die without the machine. Tommy has a bright idea to get the bucket and then gets Warren down with it.

Back at the firehouse the guys get into an argument about which snack foods can be considered healthy such as Mr. Goodbar because it has peanuts. Then Jerry tells them that they have another call to go to but won't explain the situation because he knows the guys are in for a real treat when they get there. When the crew finally arrives at the location they find a large black woman who has speared the fatty part of per upper arm on a metal fence spike. The woman is screaming in pain but is being very abrasive to the guys, she tells them her name is Oprah. Jerry decides that they need to get a large saw to cut out a part of the fence so she can be taken to the hospital. Oprah wants no part of this and screams at the guys not to saw at anything but instead just to get her off of the fence. Just then she faints and all the guys have to rush to hold Oprah up while they saw away at the fence.

Later on Karlene and Jerry are kissing at his place when Jerry puts on the brakes because he needs more time to adjust to this new situation. Karlene is upset at this revelation but seems like she is willing to give it some time.

Tommy arrives at his apartment to see a beautiful woman named Theresa with minimal clothing on. Theresa says that she is waiting for Lou and heads to the bathroom. Tommy goes into Lou's room and wants to know who the lady is but gives him props for nailing her. Tommy gives Lou "thumbs up" and leaves the room but then spots Teresa getting dressed in her nun's uniform. Later on Tommy confronts Lou about the fact that he had sex with a nun and how wrong it was. Lou's defense is that he is on an enlightened Buddhist kick and thinks there is nothing to get upset about. Lou adds that Theresa was leaving the order soon anyway and thinks he could get serious with her.

Franco is hanging out with Richard at a restaurant when Richard yells a racial slur and gets the whole place staring at them.

Later on Maggie gives Sean a bag of avocados to make up for what happened.

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.

Finally Daniel says that all Martin was is a one night stand so Sandy could make Simon jealous. This is clearly news to Martin as he does not know how to react and Daniel leaves. Kevin, Lucy and Savannah also appear.

One Tree Hill 4.02 Spoilers

This episode should air sometime in September. Check back to Queen TV for a full list of fall premiere dates to be posted soon.

Please note that there will likely not be spoilers for every episode of One Tree Hill. Its more of occasional thing as they are a pretty secretive show.

Peyton meets a boy named Derek as he takes her picture. Derek explains that is for some photography class project and thought she would be a good subject. Peyton invites him to lunch so they can work on it. Derek then explains why they should not eat with the cheerleaders, jocks or stoners. Peyton wonders if Derek has been listening to her over the internet and he just says that's the way he thinks. This makes Peyton smile and they decide to head off campus for lunch.

The OC 4.01 Spoilers

This episode will air Thursday, November 2nd. Check back to Queen TV for a full list of fall premiere dates to be posted soon.

Kaitlin makes some gay joke about both of the boys and then they see Dr. Roberts' ex wife Gloria talking to him and they look to be on friendly terms to say the least. Kaitlin now knows what the step-monster looks like but doesn't know what to make of the situation. Later on Kaitlin and the boys are driving to a party on the beach when the car breaks down. Brad doesn't want to leave the very expensive car but Kaitlin leaves them and suggests calling AAA.

Gilmore Girls 7.01 Spoilers

This episode should air in September. Check back to Queen TV for a list of fall premiere dates coming in the near future.

Luke also snaps at a customer whom he thinks is trying to stiff the bill.

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.

Amazing Race 10 Spoilers

Now that the fall edition of the race has completed filming, the picture is pretty clear on what the spoilers are. The following is the best guess for episode by episode race route information. Location spoilers are usually very accurate but the order can change and I'll update if that is the case.

Episode 1: Race begins in Seattle goes to Beijing
Episode 2: Beijing
Episode 3: Terelj, Mongolia
Episode 4: Devonport, New Zealand
Episode 5: Queenstown, New Zealand
Episode 6: Singapore to Vietnam
Episode 7: Kuwait City, Kuwait
Episode 8: Grand Baie, Mauritius (small island east of Madagascar)
Episode 9: Madagascar
Episode 10: Lohja, Finland
Episode 11: Belarus
Episode 12: Barcelona
Episode 13: Paris, France
Episode 14: Halifax, Nova Scotia to end in New York City

I also have a good source on who the final 3 are as well as the 4th, 5th and 6th place eliminations. CBS has not released the official names and relationship of the racers but I can tell you the pairs by their descriptions. We'll match names to faces when the information comes out.

6th Place: Older Female/Younger Male team, (mother/son)?
5th Place: Younger White Male/Female team, (dating couple)?
4th Place: Black Younger Female/Female team, (sisters or friends)?
Top 3: Asian Younger Male/Female team, (dating couple)?
Top 3: White Younger Female/Female team, (sisters or friends)?
Top 3: White Younger Male/Male team, (frat boys)?

Speculation has it that the female/female team is a pair of Miss America girls and the male/male team are actually friends of reigning Survivor winner Aras.

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

Heroes Pilot Review: Part 2

Continuing on my previous post about the Heroes two hour pilot:

Harrison (left) and Peter are at the police station to bail out their mother, Alice. When the pair gets to the station they find out that their mother is not being charged for shoplifting. Harrison is very upset that his mother could do something to ruin him image so close to the election. Peter is upset too but he is more worried about how his mother is feeling. Once Harrison leaves to go do some damage control, Alice admits that she stole some socks because it was exciting to her. Peter tells her he understands.

Niki talks to someone named Texas Tina who appears to be her friend. It seems that Niki and Micah are staying with Tina for a little while at least. Niki admits that she borrowed the $25,000 for Micah's private school tuition from a loan shark and that she has had a gambling problem in the past. The loan was due two weeks ago and Niki has not paid it back. Niki also tells Tina that she feels like someone is following her but its not the loan sharks this time.

Peter and Alice are out of the police station now and are talking. Alice is concerned that Peter is not making a good enough living. Peter also defends Harrison and says that he has a connection with him. There is talk about some sort of accident that Harrison was involved in that Peter just knew was happening. Alice says that she is not holding her breath any longer for something special to happen to Peter. Suddenly Peter begins to fly above the city and flies toward the solar eclipse.

Zeke and D.L. have a conversation about religion and then as D.L. watches Zeke pray he looks at Zeke's copy of The Koran.

Its night as Hiro and Ando talk about Hiro's time stopping ability. Ando still does not believe that Hiro's discovery has any sort of meaning while Hiro professes that it does. Hiro is doing a good job of convincing Ando that he has special powers but Ando doesn't know what good it will do Hiro, its not like he is going to make any money off of it. Ando challenges Hiro to teleport himself to the womens bathroom at least. Hiro begins consentrating.

Stella (left) arrives at Issac's loft and finds all the lights out. Stella calls to Issac but he does not respond, then she finally finds Issac handcuffed to the radiator in serious addiction withdrawl.

Peter (right) is in a taxi cab, still in the middle of the solar eclipse. The camera reveals that the taxi cab driver is none other than Suresh. They talk about the eclipse and then Peter feels some sort of bond with Surseh and begins to open up. Peter asks Suresh if he thinks there are special people in the world who are meant to do something more. At first Suresh plays it off but then he explains his theory about an instant type of evolution. Peter feels that what this man is saying is exactly the way he has been feeling. But then the phone rings and its Stella, she needs him. Peter asks to get out of the cab right away.

Claire is at home and she is talking to her mom while doing the dishes. Claire's class ring falls off her hand and subconsiously she puts her hand into the garbage disposal while it is running. Clarie's hand becomes a bloody mangled mess as she pulls it out of the sink.

Heroes Pilot Review: Part 1

Continuing on with my review of the fall pilots I'm looking forward to, here is my review of Heroes which will air at 9pm eastern on NBC Mondays. The pilot episode will be two hours long so this review will be broken into two parts.

Suresh (left) is a professor in India who gets alerted in one of his classes by a man named Nirad. Suresh dismisses class and knows immediately what it is about. Nirad informs Suresh that his father, a New York City taxicab driver, has been murdered. Surseh is upset but not entirely surprised. Then Suresh and Nirad go to his father's apartment and talk about how Suresh had been receiving letters from his father about someone following him and trying to take his research documents. Suresh says that his father had been following a crazy theory and found Sylar, a "Patient Zero". Nirad tries to convince Suresh that his father was crazy, Suresh isn't so sure. They see a map with various markings all over the world and old newspaper articles strewn about. Nirad wonders what would be so important for his father to die for and vows to find this man named Sylar. Nirad tried to talk Suresh out of this decision, he does not want Suresh to give his life away like his father did. Suresh looks at an old photo of him and his father and knows what he has to do.

Peter is at the bedside of an old man named Charles who is very ill. It is Peter's job to tend to Charles. Peter reads Charles the daily stock prices and Charles give him a hard time but it turns out they have a good relationship and they are just teasing each other. Peter reveals to Charles that he can fly and Charles does not believe him. Just as Peter walks to the window to show Charles his skill, Charles' daughter Stella comes in the room. Peter and Stella have a conversation about Charles who is unconscious. Apparently Peter had been having a dream when he was talking to Charles. Then Peter flirts with Stella and asks her out. Stella declines because she is dating someone.

Niki (right) is a single mother of a 10 year old boy named Micah. She tells him to get ready for school and Micah is excited for the solar eclipse that is set to happen that day. There is a knock at the door and Niki tells Micah to get to the rear of the home. Outside there are two guys wearing leather, not good.

D.L. is a prisoner at the Sing sing prison. A prison guard finds him sleeping on the floor out of his cell in the boiler room. The guard is very upset that D.L. is not where he is supposed to be and orders D.L. to tell him how he got there. D.L. can't answer because he really has not clue how he got there. D.L. is taken to the Warden's office for a little chat.

Peter is visiting his brother Harrison at his campaign headquarters. Harrison is running for public office and is a very uptight man. Peter is trying to describe to Harrison about the dreams he has been having, these dreams about flying. Harrison does not have time for this and tells Peter to go see a doctor for his problems. Just then Harrison gets a phone call about their mother who has been arrested for shoplifting.

Isaac is a drug addict and a painter. Isaac is really disturbed by the fact that he has been painting the future on his canvas. Stella finds Isaac in a frenzy trying to paint a picture of an eclipse. Stella wants him to put the paintings in a show or something. Isaac says that he can only paint when he is high but can't remember doing so. Isaac explains to her that he painted the outcome of a horse race weeks before it took place. Isaac also painted a picture of Stella as she looks today. Stella is trying to convince Isaac to get help for his addiction but he won't listen.

Hiro (left) is a Japanese corporate cubicle worker. Hiro has been staring at a clock for quite sometime when he finally gets the second hand to stops moving and goes back one second. Hiro is triumphant in accomplishing this task and runs down to another cubicle where his friend Ando sits. Hiro tries to explain to Ando what just happened with the clock. Ando is not too impressed with Hiro's story and thinks that Hiro has lost his mind. Hiro tries to explain that he was the one who caused the train to arrive 14 seconds late earlier that day. Suddenly Hiro's boss breaks up the storytelling time, back to work.

Niki is called to the Principal's office at Micah's school. Principal Kearns explains that Micah's test scores came back too low and that he is not upholding the standards of the private school. Niki gets very upset and demands her tuition back. The Principal agrees to refund the unused portion of the tuition but not the $25,000 entrance fee that Niki made to get Micah into the school. As Niki storms out of the room and grabs Micah, she notices something weird about her reflection. Niki sees her reflection move out of the mirror and then smashes the mirror on her way out of the door.

Claire (right) is a Texas high school cheerleader and sits next to another teen named Zach. Zach has been video taping Claire doing all sorts of stunts to hurt herself but nothing is happening as her skin keeps healing right in front of their eyes. Zach is impressed with all the stunts and is glad to be a part of the experiment. Zach is also glad that Claire is talking to her since Zach is a bit of an outsider and Claire is popular. Claire is upset by her special gift because she thinks all the people in school will think she is weird. They notice that on Claire's last stunt she broke her leg very badly and the bone is sticking out of her skin. Claire pops her bone back into place and then takes the video tape from Zach. Claire walks off with only a slight limp.

That is all for part 1, part 2 is posted above this one.

Amazing Race 10 Sightings

The Amazing Race is currently filming its 10th edition to air in the fall. There are some small bit of information that have leaked due to some sightings. Once I find out more of the route spoilers after filming has completed, I'll make a new more detailed post. In the meantime here is what is known so far:

The race began filming on May 27th in Seattle. There were signtings at the Seattle-Tacoma Airport that day. Speculation is that the race then stopped in Beijing and Mongolia before heading to New Zealand and then Singapore. There also has been another sighting in the Kuwait airport around June 8th. There were also 7 same model type SUVs spotted in the airport parking lot, speculation is that this would be somewhere around the 5th episode if the teams begin with their usual 11 teams. The race lead the teams to the Kuwait Towers. This race will go around the world in the opposite direction, heading west from the United States.

Nip/Tuck 4.03 Spoilers

This episode should air on October 3, 2006.

Christian is at the gym with Fabio, his trainer. Christian finds out he is not in the best shape possible. Christian tells Fabio that he has a real job and does not have time to workout that much but then notices another plastic surgeon named Dr. Mike Hamoui having a much easier time working out. Christian later finds himself in the showers at the same time as Mike and checks out his very fit body. Mike notices Christian's staring and starts a conversation with him. Mike knows who Christian is and praises what McNamara/Troy has done for the plastic surgery business. Then Mike reveals that his business is booming and Christian becomes jealous of Mike's body and success. Christian asks Mike how he makes time for both and Mike confesses that he does not eat and goes to the gym any time he has a spare moment.

Just as Christian is about to leave the gym, he spots Matt and confronts him about not calling. Matt is not in a mood to talk and they have a confrontation. Christian makes some reference to Kimber as "Hari Kimber", it seems that she is on some sort of spiritual mission perhaps.

Meanwhile, Sean and Julia are interviewing nurses to help with their soon to be born son. It appears that the baby will be handicapped and need reconstructive plastic surgery. They speak to a woman named Monica Wilder who says all the right things and impresses the McNamaras. After the interview, Monica needs a ride home and Sean offers to take her. Monica and Sean have some small talk in the car but seem to have bonded during their conversation. Suddenly we see that Sean and Monica are at a motel having sex.

Later on Sean calls Julia and tells her that he has run out of gas and will get home as soon as he can. Julia hopes that Monica got home first so that she does not have a bad impression of them. Sean feels the guilt about what he has done and tells Monica that it would not be the best idea if she worked for them. Monica agrees but blames herself for ruining a great opportunity. Sean feels sorry for her and agrees to give her a nose job as a parting gift.

The next day Christian visits Mike's office for a quickie "lunchtime liposuction" procedure. Christian notices that Mike's operating room is better than his. During the procedure, Christian realizes that he feels degraded by having such a successful and toned man see his flaws. They get into a testosterone sparring match and then Mike asks Christian why Sean is not able to perform this procedure on Christian. All Mike gets in response is an excuse.

RW/RR Challenge Scoop

Filming of the next upcoming Real World/Road Rules Challenge is already underway in Brazil. No word on when an airdate but it would likely be after The Real World Key West has its finale on August 8th and the Fresh Meat Challenge has its finale on September 11th. Castmembers we can expect on the Brazil challenge are from Real World Beth S., Aneesa, and another quad group from the most recent Real World season Paula, John, Svetlana and Tyler. Derrick and Tina are the only members from Road Rules known at this time with an exception of Casey (Wes' partner) from the Fresh Meat Challenge, who will potentially become considered part of the Road Rules gang. Further speculation is that Derrick and Casey end up hooking up so I guess that does not mean well for Derrick's romance with Diem. Those people who are already revealed to have made the return trip home from Brazil are John and Paula (big surprise) as well as Tina. No word on weather or not anyone from Austin decided to try their luck again on this challenge.

As for the Fresh Meat Challenge, there is speculation that the winner has already been leaked. Stop reading now if you don't want to know. Ok, fair enough. Supposedly Darrell's winning streak does not end as he and Aviv walk away with the $250k.

Nip/Tuck 4.02 Spoilers

This episode will air on September 26, 2006.

The episode opens with Christian at a strip club and has taking a liking to a huge breasted woman named Blu Mondae. Blu is talking about how her breasts are natural and they bother her. Christian tells her to stop talking. When Blu finds out that Christian is a plastic surgeon, they end up in Christian's bedroom having sex. Blu proposes working out a deal with Christian to get her breasts reduced but Christian says he does not do favors anymore. They continue to have sex.

Sean and Christian are getting used to having Michelle (from 4.01) involved at the office. Then Christian meets with a man named Mitchell and his much older sugar daddy boyfriend named Arthur. Turns out that Arthur wants work done on Mitchell but Christian senses that Mitchell is not too interested in having plastic surgery. Christian asks Mitchell to come back another time for a private consultation.

After the credits we see Sean and Matt are having a conversation at home. Sean and Julia want Matt to attend a gym so that he can become more social and give him something to do. Matt is not too interested, he'd rather work out in the garage.

Mitchell comes to visit Christian in private and Mitchell confesses that he is not sure that he is gay, he just likes the perks that come with a rich boyfriend. Christian tries to convince Mitchell that receiving those perks is not worth going through surgery. Mitchell asks Christian if he is "bi" as well. Christian says no, he just does not like to see people getting taken advantage of. Christian offers to help get Mitchell out of the situation and asks Mitchell to hang out with him sometime, to show him some options.

Meanwhile, Sean meets a man named Alex at a coffee shop who has a facial deformity. Sean offers his help. At first Alex is not interested but then Alex takes Sean's card and visits Sean at the office. Sean asks Alex why his parents never took Alex to get corrective surgery but Alex says that his parents did not have the money. Sean then offers to perform corrective surgery on Alex for free.

Later on Christian and Mitchell go to the strip club. Christian spots Blu Mondae and asks her to help out Mitchell and get him to leave the gay boyfriend. Blue agrees but then Christian asks her to have sex with Mitchell. Blue is appalled but when Christian offers to do her breast reduction for free, Blue has a change of heart. Blue and Mitchell end up having a good time but they only pretend to have sex for Christian's sake.

Sean performs Alex's surgery but during the procedure he discovers that Alex's deformity is too severe to be fixed all in one surgery. Once Alex wakes up, Sean explains the problems and offers to do a number of procedures and braces to fix Alex completely. Alex declines because he would not want to go through the pain and look even worse than he already does for a payoff in the far future, he is used to the way he looks anyway.

Michelle is surprised by a woman named James. Michelle does not like the surprise and makes sure nobody is watching but then gives James a bottle of pills. James unbuttons her shirt then first caresses and kisses Michelle. Liz watches from afar.

Sean and Christian are talking about some sort of intervention with Matt. Christian wants to tighten the purse strings but wants Julia on board with the plan so that everyone is united. Sean agrees to the plan. When they talk to Julia, they find out that she has already given Matt some money.

Mitchell comes to visit Christian at his apartment and tells Christian that Arthur found out about the strip club and threw him out. Christian feels for Mitchell and gives him some money and offers to set Mitchell up in a nice hotel for a while until he gets back on his feet. Mitchell asks to use the bathroom and Christian lets him in. Mitchell then appears out of the bathroom completely naked and offers to give Christian a blow job. Christian freaks out and tells Mitchell to leave. Once Mitchell continues to pursue Christian, Mitchell gets punched in the nose and Christian throws him out.

Later on Julia talks to Sean and agrees to the plan about Matt. Julia is toughened by the fact that the baby is going to have some developmental problems and reveals that she has decided to name the baby Conor.

Christian goes to visit Blu at the strip club after she has her breasts done. Blu is wearing a black wig and has decided to change her persona to Ashley Wednesday. Christian displays ambivalence as the show ends with him in contemplation of what he has become.

Rescue Me 3.10 Spoilers

Tommy hires a cab driver to take him to Rockaway when he sees that an Escalade belonging to him is stolen. Tommy gets into the driver's seat of the cab to chase after the Escalade.

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.

Stanley Cup Finals

With the television season and its spoilers being on hiatus for the time being, it is time to look at one of the more exciting final match ups in the world of sports and make some predictions. The NHL finally has their Stanley Cup finals schedule and teams set. In keeping with my tradition of looking at the odds, here are the current series odds courtesy of bodog.com:

Edmonton to win in 4 games: +1500
Edmonton to win in 5 games: +700
Edmonton to win in 6 games: +400
Edmonton to win in 7 games: +500
Carolina to win in 4 games: +1200
Carolina to win in 5 games: +450
Carolina to win in 6 games: +425
Carolina to win in 7 games: +350

My take on these odds: The best odds to make a bet would be Edmonton in 7 for sure. I think either team has a shot to win the Cup and a 7 game series is very possible. I'm worried about the rust factor that has plagued each team in the Western Conference coming off of convincingly winning the previous series. That is why I look for Carolina to have the edge coming out of the gates at home. I'll guess Carolina in 5 because I think Edmonton may have to much rust and pressure on them. Either way, I'm looking forward to the first game tonight and a very good match up for the finals.
