Big Brother 6 - Official Discussion Thread
 

The newest season of Big Brother starts tonight.

Official blurb taken from the jokersupdates site:-

A group of strangers lives together in a house packed with cameras and microphones recording their every move. Completely cut off from the outside world (except for the lovely Julie Chen) these contestants will compete in challenges and prizes. Each week, one HouseGuest is voted off. This year's twist is that friends, co-workers and significant others will play the Big Brother game as secret duos. Each secret team believes that they are the only pair in the house (They will be revealed to TV viewers during the first live broadcast on July 14). If they can keep their secret and are the last two people in the house, the winner receives $1,000,000, the biggest cash prize in Big Brother history, and the second place finisher takes home $250,000. If a twosome does not make it to the final two, the winner gets $500,000.

Big Brother 6 will be full of surprises! There will be MORE contestants than usual, in a new BIGGER two-story house. The new house is being built in the same studio that Yes, Dear once called home. To accommodate the increased number of houseguests, the pool will be nearly twice as big as the old one! Exec producers Arnold Shapiro and Allison Grodner said the new digs will open up a slew of production possibilities. Julie Chen tells us "This summer you'll see some big changes. Stay tuned."
BB6 starts July 7th - New episodes will air Tuesdays at 9 p.m, Thursday (Live Show) and Saturdays at 8 p.m.

• 13-14 Houseguests
• Cast is an interesting bunch of characters
• Season of SECRETS and SURPRISES
• A taller house with a very loft-like feeling to it
• Constantly things to uncover and discover about their new home
• May be opportunities for the fans to interact
• This years Big Brother will include a house moderator.
• Expect the Unexpected

Just finished watching first episode... looks good so far. As usual, I'll have to see every episode.

Yup, looks like it could be a good episode. I get the distinct feeling however that this season is sponsored by manufacturers of silicone breast implants and golds gym.

I find it funny that the new house is built on Yes, Dear's old lot, since Jimmy from Yes, Dear was on a made-up season of Big Brother in one episode.


To go along with Daval's comment about breasts, silicone or otherwise, even the geek was ripped. :D

That yes dear was funny. The HOH room seems huge compared to ones before.

Hey, I want a couple overweight, sloppy, semi-rude people in the house. In other words, people like me! :) It's difficult to tell the blondes apart.

Howie already annoys me. Anyone else?

And maybe I'm being a little sensitive, but nominating the Islamic guy on the first go round? Damn...

I always find it amusing that there are all sorts of alliances right from the get go on these reality shows. However it always, no matter what alliances are formed, comes down to boys vs girls. Eric the firefighter needs to take it down a notch. Dude, we get it, you think there are too many women, relax.

Yeah, he's got a good point (I guess it proves he can count), but he does need to relax a little bit.

Thought it was pretty clever of the folks on the surfboard to form a temporary alliance, just for the next two weeks. It would be cool to see it work, even cooler to see it crumble in a matter of days!

I started watching it because my freind was a contestant 2 years ago...maybe I was biased...but these people don't seem as interesting...but I watched anyway last night..and I like the girl who got HOH..and mike is hot..They can get rid of the blonde who thinks she is hot stuff and keep the flirty girl

The $1,000, prize is a farce. Once one team mate is eliminated, the remaining partner is bound to spill the beans at some point. That's when everyone realizes that it's all teams (if they haven't already). It's good in theory, bad in practice. I think future BB needs to go back to the every man for himself setup. With that being said, I can't wait for the alliances to start piling up with the early "1/2 survivors" holding some real weight on the rest of the teams.

The buff and busty concept is fine by me. Always has been, always will be. Call me simple.

I've watched in years past but I missed the opening episode. I'll have to catch the later ones. BB is the only reality show I've ever watched faithfully.

So who is the freind? :)

lol...david lane

is he the one that hooked up with whatsherface? as in funny goofy david that we were all sad to see out? He was an army ranger or something, right?

yes that is him..lol...I love the fact that he is the first person to have sex on national/public t.v. I thought he totally made the show, but again I am biased. and he is just as crazy in real life...lol

he was a ranger, he is now a private contractor over there and having a great time.

So I missed the end of the first ep. When is the next one. I thought this was on 3 times a week. I haven't missed an ep of BB since it started. Tivo is your friend.

It's on tonight, Locke.

Was a good episode. Them finding that room was kind of neat. I don't think I'll be too upset at all to see Ashlea leave although she isnt very hard on the eyes. Noones really come out as the Dr. Evil character yet this year so there's noone I really would like to see kicked out.

The identity of the secret partners is listed in spoiler text below:-

Spoiler: The identity of the secret partners is as follows:-
Eric and Maggie
Sarah and James
Janelle and Ashlea
Howie and Rachel
Ivette and Beau
Kaysar and Michael
April and Jennifer

I agree Daval. I'll be sad to see Ashlea go just because she's pretty amazing looking. Still, I'd rather Kaysar stayed in the house.

How did you find out who the pairs were? Do you know how they're related?

You rock!

There is another site that I visit for all of my Big Brother news and they have all kinds of inside type information that people have dug up.

Like these pics of janelle!

I guess i should start posting here, I'm totally ashamed about watching Big Brother, due to the fact that I'm a pretty outspoken anti-reality TV advocate... but I can't get enough.
I missed the first episode, but I'm watching it from now on.

Dang! Thanks for the pics Daval. While I'm not pining away for the likes of non-hand washing Jerry or Chicken George, what's with all the pretty people this season? This cast seems exceptionally model-heavy


That was a phenominally stupid thing Jen did last night. I'm really surprised she didn't go on the block. I give her three weeks tops, cute or not.

I wish the editors would show what she was actually doing in the room, it was all one sided with Rachel assuming she was snooping but they didnt actually show her doing anything, did they?

Even if she was just using the bathroom, if I came to my bedroom door, found it locked and then found someone in it, I'd be pissed. It certainly looked like she was unlocking the door as she left, which would piss me off even more. Having mulled over the situation, if I were HoH, I'd have thrown her on the block without talking to anyone.

Having said that, I think it was bad strategy for Rachel, getting HoH and PoV in the same week. Better to throw the PoV than make people look at you as this ultra-competitive player, as I think she did last night.

The Jen thing was a non-issue until she unlocked the door. If it was the need for a moment of privacy while using the bathroom, big deal. But she unlocked the door. Of course I think Rachel over reacted.

I will be the first to say that unless the veto is used more than once this season, I would eliminate it all together. I am tired of the "ooh - are they going to use it" editing of the show and they never use it. If I had the inclination, I would research the number of times it has been used. I would estimate that in recent seasons you average less than two times per season. I'm still going to watch it every time - and be upset every time they edit it to get me hooked. (Hi, my name is BonesCPA. I am a lemming.)

D'oh! I had to be gone last night and I forgot to tape the show! Grrrr! Actually, I'd be more upset if it had been further along in the game, at this point, things aren't too dramatic. How'd it go?

The BIG BROTHER HouseGuests determine the fate of the two nominees, ousting Ashlea, the 22-year-old fashion design student from Plantation, Florida, in a not-so-subtle shove out the BIG BROTHER door. Kaysar, on the other hand, is feeling the love from his BIG BROTHER bros. But nothing is certain in the BIG BROTHER house as the games begin all over again.

ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE?
Changing plots, plans, strategies and alliances keep us guessing as we approach the first Eviction of the BIG BROTHER 6 season.

Ashlea appeals to Howie, while Janelle looks for support of the sisterhood alliance from April. Eric's riled by concerns over Michael and Jennifer's perceived closeness. Creating dubious drama over the situation, Eric suggests excluding Michael from their alliance, but Kaysar defends him. Kaysar warns Michael of the dissention. In a not-so-innocent move, Michael seeks Eric's advice about Jennifer. Eric plays along, but immediately reports, "Someone scurried like a rat to Michael and told him what went on at the table".

Irked, Eric confronts Kaysar about Michael's conversation. Kaysar admits to the tip-off, wanting to be fair to Michael. Eric cautions April about the deception. He warns the alliance between James, Michael and Kaysar also needs to be shaken up, lamenting, "Excuses: everyone's got one, and they all stink!"

We get the trust about living on PB&J from Ivette, and Howie spills on the truth of life in the house with eight gorgeous girls. We are privy to last-minute contemplations from Ivette, Sarah and Janelle over who should stay and who deserves to get the boot.

I'VE GOT A SECRET, AND I'M GONNA KEEP IT!
We get the dish on the secret pairs as the 14 HouseGuests reveal their sidekick's identity. Ivette excitedly comes clean about herself and Beau: friends for years, they are the TWIST! We see them sambaing their way across a Florida beach. But their secret may not be so well kept after all, as we hear the housemates figuring out their connection in the backyard.

Michael and Kaysar admit to a six-year friendship. They are quick to deduce that they may not be the only pair, especially after Kaysar lets Michael in on the discovery of the Ivette-and-Beau connection. Michael asks if there could be several twists this season.

Then it's Maggie's turn to acknowledge Eric as her covert counterpart. We see them in their real-world scrubs laughing and joking, a happy glimpse into the "ordinary" lives away from the colorful, well-lit BIG BROTHER house. According to Eric, their strategy of "lie, lie, lie, deny, deny, deny" is working wonders for them.

"We are the Twist!" James declares, admitting that he and Sarah are a real-life couple who have been dating for four months. Oh, and they are in LURVE. Ah, the hubris of youth. Well, yes James, you are A twist, but not the only twist.

April and Jennifer proudly announce that they are sorority sisters from the same town. April suspects other twists going on in the house; perhaps other secret pairs? When Ashlea walks in with the same track pants as Janelle, sorority-sister Jennifer is all over the connection. I mean, nobody wears the same outfits, unless maybe they are working together, right?

Ashlea and Janelle bring us in on their former roommate history, but are keeping it secret from their housemates. Not sure how well that's working when they start wearing the same track pants.

Rachel reveals that Howie and she are friends from home. How would anyone pick their teaming, as they are so different? Howie shares her confidence, adding "no one would ever guess that a decent, clean-cut girl like her would go out with an obnoxious, good-looking pig like me!"

We get the dish from Rachel on being the first HoH, before heading into the Diary Room. The HouseGuests ask, is being shallow enough of a reason to evict, or is being rumormonger a far more serious charge?

LOVERS LAMENT WHILE FRUSTRATIONS PENT
Sarah says they are hiding their relationship well. Stolen kisses in the shower and secret hand signs worthy of a Major League catcher communicate their true feelings.

With so many beautiful bodies scantily clad in summer gear, Sarah's insecurities threaten to expose their secret. With admirable fortitude, she keeps it together as James flirts with the other females to keep everyone guessing. But when Sarah voices her insecurity, asking James, "If I wasn't here, would you be with these other girls?" James is direct and to the point in his response: "Have you seen these other girls?" Is there trouble in paradise?

The eviction votes seem to be split between those wanting to rid the house of the high-maintenance brat, and those seeking to exterminate the tattle-tale rat.

THE RAT OR THE BRAT?
When the Nominees make their final statements, each of the condemned is all smiles, but suspecting the outcome that follows. Julie announces that by a vote of 9-2, Kaysar is safe, and Ashlea is out.

The farewells are as brief as Ashlea's stay, with the HouseGuests already thinking about the impending HoH competition. Julie's post-mortem interview includes Janelle's pre-taped farewell as she bids her best buddy adieu. Julie then reveals to Ashlea that all the HouseGuests are paired up.

FAST AND EASY PROVES JUST THAT!
The HoH competition gives a new HouseGuest the chance at ultimate power. The Fast & Easy competition is based on speed and correct and incorrect answers to a series of questions. The last person standing at the end is the new HoH.

After some brain-busting questions and blank expressions, Eric emerges as the new HoH. Will Eric use his power as HoH for good or evil? With such a powerhouse competitor as the new HoH, anything is possible and nothing is guaranteed. Then again, it's just another day in the BIG BROTHER house. Don't miss the intrigue as more secrets are revealed on the next episode of BIG BROTHER 6, Saturday, July 16, at 9 pm ET/PT, only on CBS.

A couple of teams have already figured out that they aren't the only ones. Eric and Maggie are one of them. I have a feeling two team mates are going up this week. The question is - which ones.

My question is: anyone have any thoughts on what is in the gold safes?

I'm thinking one of them will be a car or something to whoever can get it open (they give a car away every year, don't they?). the second may be a ticket to the emmy's, and third could have a 'safe from nominations for one week' card.

those are purely my guesses though.

I don't know, but I'm betting the road to finding out what's in them starts with those fake books in the Gold Room. Remember the books the camera kept zooming in on that led Rachel to the books in her HoH room? The Hoh books were fake, and held the first clue that got her into the Gold Room. I can't believe she never checked the books in the Gold Room when she had it to herself. I know I would have.

Kayser is the man, so nice to see that ass Eric being up on the block, he tried to take control of the house and got screwed, after he screwed other people. Then to mention the Koranan, what an idiot, it's a game if he doesn't think someone's going to screw him over, he should have stayed away from the game. Hopefully Yvette is the next to go she annoys the hell out of me.

I totally agree, I have to applaud Kaysar for pulling that on Eric, the asshole had it coming. And yeah, Kaysars definately one of the smartest in the house, Janelle surprised me though. I thought she was going to be another Holly, but shes a lot smarter than she seems.

The chess match was great, as the ones on the "other" side of the alliance saw the plot come to life. It's moments like that make BB worth worth watching. My wife and I like Eric until he showed his true colors last week when he came unglued...he deserves to get the boot...

I agree about Yvette, she just needs to shut up...

Who the hell are these idiots that think they're in the house to have fun and make friends? Ivette talking about if Cappy (and I've never heard a dumber name) leaves the house she doesn't know what she'll do. Well moron, he was going to have to go someday. You can't win half a mil with him still in the house, can you?

Finally, someone said what I've always thought. When Kaysar and Maggie were having their private talk, Kaysar said he thought she was great, but this is a game and he has to make some moves. Hooray! Someone who can finally seperate their feelings from the game!

Heard the "sheep" are complaining that the POV comp was chess and that that's what Kasar, James and the rest do... play chess. They feel BB made it so James could win POV. I call bullshit. The game had little to do with chess and anyone with a little brain power could figure out how to win it. The fact that the game was basically two against four only speaks to the brain power of those involved from your team and the fact you've been acting like a bunch of bullies and folks didn't want to take it anymore. Save your tears for when your ass is booted from the house.

Gold Safes?

Im betting one has about $10,000, one has food privelages, and the other has another clue to something.

I think Kaysar was brilliant as HoH. He puts up Maggie and James for eviction. He makes James believe that everyone is out to get him. He gets James to admit his partnership with Sarah. Then he creates a six person alliance, that seems very powerful at the moment. They agree to win the veto and put Eric up for eviction, definitely a major threat. I cant wait to see how the votes go. Either way Eric is screwed. He's either gone for good, or his partner and unconditional ally is gone leaving him with a big weakspot.

Its a good thing Janelle was hooking up with Michael, Kaysars partner. Now Janelle and Kaysar are pretty much inseperable as allies. The both lost their partners, and were weak, but have now combined to make a new partnership giving them more power.

I think it will be easy for Kaysar to allign with James and Howie, but im worried about their women. You just cant trust a woman in a game like this.

Anyway, it all depends on HoH. Could go either way.

The best part of this week was Maggie's reaction to Kaysar saying that he got the bigger fish - her partner. It was a classic BB moment.

As with every BB, the HOH competition is the key. If the new alliance wins, they can continue on with their plans. If they don't then James will be the target.

And I have shed no tears that Eric is leaving. ("Give me my ball back, I'm going home. Oh, and you all suck anyway.")

Maggie winning HOH last night was sweet revenge for the "other" side. Its sure gonna make it interesting this week...I'm glad Eric is gone, he's too much of a hothead...

Damn! I missed Saturday's episode and the HoH comp on Thursday. I hate that maggie won. Im rooting for Kaysar, and now he's on the block. Hopefully he will win the veto. So I read that they got the last number for the combo to one of the gold safes. Did they open it. What was inside?

A letdown in my opinion. They finally opened the safe and it contained a pile of PB&J sandwiches. They took them out of the room, all sat around the big table, and each player took one. Then they all opened them up and Janelle's had a ticket in it that allows her (or if she gives it someone for a week), to not get stuck on PB&J for the week. Not that exciting for the viewers.

My predictions for the safes are going well. Im 1 out of 3 so far. A couple posts up i said one would have food privelages.

Damn...things are not looking good for Kayser. I really dont want to watch this damn show without him in it....but alas I am addicted and will continue my obsession, with or without Kayser.

Nice job Sarah and James on veto competition. Glad to see they are staying. So its Janelle and Kaysar on the block. Im rooting for Kaysar, but Maggie really has it in for him. But most of her alliance wants Janelle out. I hope they vote out Janelle, not only cause i like Kaysar, but it will piss Maggie off and break up her alliance. I'd like to see Howie win the hoh. We havent seen much of a strategic game from him yet. Im very curious to see what he would do, if he doesnt become Kaysars lapdog.

I hope Kaysar stays, nothing against Janelle but Kayser seems more devious and I like the way he plays the game. He seems to be the only one who plays it like a game and isn't there to make friends, I mean most of them get pissed when someone stabs them in the back like it was a person they've known for years.

They wouldn't want to see what I'd do in that house with a million dollars on the line, I'd be more hated than Will from a couple of years back.

I know who I'm voting for.

Michael:
Eric:
Kaysar: √

I want Kaysar back. I think Yvette has some strange stalker type thing going with Eric. I hope Eric stays gone from the game, I couldn't handle him being back again. Although I did enjoy the inpressions of Eric that were going on very funny.

I voted for Kaysar as well, I agree Yvette is a little too freaky about Eric.

I just want Yvette to go, she really annoys me...

What an idiot Howie is. Way to make a friggen decision for yourself. It was not time to get rid of James....they need #'s and he just screwed himself there. He better pray to the reality tv show gods that it is Kasyer coming back in.

I missed it last night.
So Howie nominated James, eh?
Who did he put up opposite him?

Btw, diddagirl, Happy Birthday. :thumbsup:

He put up James and Sarah on the block I believe, what an idiot, throw up Maggie and Yvette at least that's what I would have done. Jesus I hope Kaysar comes back. Howie may just be the dumbest HOH ever with his decision.

howie is as smart as a pile of rocks.....and it didn't take ths stupid decision to show it!!! This Maggie chick is getting way to much credit....yet peopel do what she says. Howie and rachel are friggin morons...and you know if kaysar comes back he is going to go after them as well. The 'friendship' (rainbow brigade)...must just be having the time of their life, the way they seem to be puppeting the house. I'm surprised James didn';t take a swing at Howie....I would have....

Having gone through Joker's Updates, where folks watch the live feed and the post what's going on, I wouldn't count on anything at this point. I agree that Howie screwed up, (what the hell was he thinking?) but there may be light at the end of the tunnel...

Howie should have thrown Maggie on the block, although it would be nice to see Yvette gone, she can finally get some help for that Eric obsession. That was the funniest veto competition ever, and that alliance to get rid if James has to be some of the dumbest people ever to play the game. I couldn't believe what I was watching, just too funny.

I just can't get over the rationale of Howie... He obviously knows about "the friendship" which consists of 5 people. He had an alliance of 5 himself which means he could have put up 2 of the friendship and got them down to 4. That is without the wildcard that is the person coming back. If it's Eric (please no) it would be back to 5 on 5. But if it were Kaysar, it would have been 6 on 4, AND James and Sarah would have no idea anyone was gunning for them.

In any case, nice work getting the friendship to promise 2 weeks, when those 2 are obvious, James week 1 then Sarah week 2. Then if the friendship wins again, Howie and Rach are next. I like him, I think he is fun to watch, but dumb as a pail of rocks.

Oh, but wait, this is the summer of secrets, anything could happen. (please kaysar come back and slap howie once upside the head)

First, I also voted for Kaysar.

I think Howie made a pretty good decision. He hasnt got on anyones bad side with this decision except for James. He's got allies on both sides. If he had put up Maggie and whoever, where would he be. He would be enemy #1 in the house. Anyone can win hoh and stir things up. His move was probably the smartest thing yet, cause now everyone likes him and nobody is going to put him on the block. All he has to worry about is Sarah and James, and he's got enough people on his side to not get voted off.

It might be weird this week. Everyone is expecting Sarah to go. But they were talking about getting rid of Ivette. Imagine that, after all that crap, James and Sarah will still be in the house. Almost as stupid as not putting all your pieces of candy in James' pinata. James said it best. They arent playing with strategy. Their playing on emotion and vengence and popularity.

And yes i agree, the whole "Bring Eric back!!!!" is really starting to disgust me.

Thanks Fremen!

I voted for Kaysar...about a million times. Hopefully he can come back in and whip his team back into shape. What a week it has been.....and James winning another veto just makes be more certain he needs to be evicted ASAP!

They will bring back the firefighter dude for sure. He was a putz.

does anyone know who came back? i missed tonights episode and am dieing (sp?) to find out (or if it was revieled) i am hoping it's kaysar he is by far one of my favoriets (sp?). and the official site http://www.cbs.com/primetime/bigbrother6/ hasn't updated yet.

Kaysar is back. :thumbsup:

Thank god that idiot, Crappy, didn't return.


Howie makes me laugh. "Bring Kaysar back so he can think for me." Jeeze guy...
Don't meteorologists have to be intelligent? At least half way?

This last HOH challenge looks to have been well thought out.

Who do you guys figure will tough it out?

I'm thinking Maggie will be able to. I hope Kaysar or his side do, though.

After almost 14 hours of competition, Jennifer wins the HOH. Apparently her and Kaysar made a deal to put Ivette and Beau up to backdoor James.

So happy that idiot Eric didn't come back, he was just too annoying.

Kaysar made a deal? That's cool Ivette and Beau seem like good choices, Ivette just has too many annoying qualities, like her obsession with Eric and the fact that she yells all the time. I'd still like to see Maggie go soon though.

No, the point of putting Ivette and Beau up was so that James couldn't compete. Then when someone wins, take one of them off put James up, and byebye James.

Sounds like a good plan, If Jen sticks with it. You never know though the "friendship" could realize that alone, James has no power, and they could put up 2 of the other 4 alliance, to put the nail in that coffin. I hope not though, get rid of James, and the next HOH will be 4 against 4 ("friendship" vs. kaysar's alliance).

I really wish Julie would have told the houseguests that out of the 5 mil votes, kaysar got 82%. That might let them know that we never want to hear about crappy again.

edit: Screw it, I'll watch it anyway. :icare:

Who didn't see Jen doing that? Seems she painted an awfully big target on herself now. I hope Kaysar can stick around and take her out of the game. She seems to think she's evil but I have my doubts, like Kaysar said she just wants to make a splash as HOH. It is good to see someone go on strategy for a change though, but I still think James was the bigger threat.

great episode yesterday. My wife literally jumped off the couch screeching in joy when janelle won the HOH, it was quite bizarre to watch.

I just hope the S3 can get HOH tommorow as well.....

I think hurricane Howie is going to be fun to watch, he already got to April pretty good and Janelle is getting to them all going nicely, the 'friendship' should fall apart soon.

I hope Howie get HOH next episode I don't think he'll be as dumb about his choices this time. I love the peperoni pizza thing, I thought April was going to crack right there.

Does this season seem more emotionally charged than earlier seasons, to you others?

To me, there seems to be more ill will torwards each other than in previous seasons. Well, the seasons I watched, anyway. (part of 2, and all of 3,4,5)

Wow! Hurricane Howie was the man this episode. Janelle also did her share. They had April in tears like three different times. I really didnt want to see Kaysar leave, but Janelle is really hot so i dont mind. It was also great seeing Janelle win hoh and rip the necklace out of Jen's hands. I really hope Howie's team gets the next hoh. I really wanna see the "friendship" crumble. And who came up with that name, its so stupid.

Beau wins HOH. Well say goodbye to either Howie or Janelle. There really won't be many more even remotely interesting to watch. I'll probably keep watching if James sticks around. But if he is out and Jan and Howie are out, that will be some boring TV.

April wins HOH, my guess is James and Jan are up. Which means the rest of this season will be BORING. I can't believe one of the nerd herd is going to win this thing. I'm thinking of taking it off the season pass on my Tivo box.

Well I'll keep watching as long as Howie, Jan and James are on. Once their gone, so am I.

Shit I really don't want one of the nerd herd to win. Ivette complaining about Rachel is funny, Ivette is the most annoying person ever in the game, I wish someome would punch her in the neck. I agree after Howie, Jan and James are gone the show is going to be the shits, I doubt I'll watch it anymore after that either.
It sure does, at least as long as hurricane Howie is hanging around, although with April as HOH the emotion may be sucked right out of the game. If Howie or Jan can't win it then I want james to, the guy has played a hell of a game.

If any of the nerd herd have to win it (shudder), I'd pick Maggie... grudgingly. Face it, she kept that pack of idiots together and bent them to her will. If she can pull off beating Ivette and Beau, my hat's off to her, as they have no reason to keep her.

All and all, I'd much rather see Janell, James or Howie win it, probably in that order.

Wow, the summer of secrets keeps going. When beau beua threw an 11 in that bowling game, I thought, seasons over, I'm done. I'm not watching the nerd herd finish up. But then out of nowhere Howie scores a 12, making this season still interesting.

Also when Howie talked about himself as "Hurricane" Howie. It reminded me, these people have NO idea what is going on outside the BB house. It would be pretty crazy to hear about the hurricane and what's happend in the gulf coast, a month after it's done. In fact, all the people in the sequester house are the same way.

The "best" part about the nerd herd is that the just don't realize that they are disliked by the viewing public. Although I think the are starting to figure it out after both of America's Choice contest went against them. (Hell, even I didn't see the point in Janelle getting the phone call.) Of course with their "honest" game they can't understand why. Memories are short in the BB house - at least for memories of the things you did yourself.

Another couple of days for Howie to have the Jack Shack in operation.

I can't believe Ivette is still yapping on about Eric and how she's been playing for him, I think she'll need some serious help after this game is over. Will she or won't she go for the deal, brains says go for the deal, although her thinking she can beat Janelle or Howie in a vote is just stupid.

The only reason why ivette would lose the vote is if maggie and April were so mad that she betrayed them. Think of the people in there. bobo and james are for sure votes for ivette.

If ivette did jump (oh please do, makes for good TV watching), and she made it final 2 with either Jan or Howie. Vote would be for Ivette
Ivette - Jen, James, bobo, maggie, ape
Jan/Howie - Rach, Jan/Howie...

Now if America decided ;)

I forgot all about that, she does have the votes, that really sucks. I don't really think I want her to win at all, I've wanted to punch her in the neck for the entire show, she's loud and just annoying. I agree if she jumped it would make for some good viewing. Too bad America wasn't deciding, although you never know, this is the 'summer of secrets'.

Well Howie is gone now. Ivette didn't jump. LMAO, Jan wins HOH and another People's choice. Nerd herd goes on rant about WTF is wrong with American voters.

Wouldn't it be great. Somehow Jan wins next comp and she is final 2. And then they say the final America's choice is who wins. Oh man, that would be such great TV. Sorry house sequester people you've been sitting there for weeks for nothing, your authority has been usurped... I'll stop dreaming now.

all I got to say is "POWER TO THE PEOPLE", "standard"...... eaaaaaaaaaaaassy

No BB contestant, UK or any other nation, can ever match Citizen Science!

This is it. Last competition. Who wins and who do they take. My theories:

If Maggie is in the final two - she wins.
The rest is sort of a spoiler (for a couple of hours at least), so I've spoiler tagged it...
Spoiler: If Janelle and Ivette go head to head - either could win, depending on who gets rid of Maggie. If Ivette dumps Maggie, then she won't get April's vote, but she would still get James' vote. So Ivette could beat Janelle even is she dumps Maggie. Janelle dumps her, Ivette wins hands down.

Ah, the lesser of two evils - who do you take. Do stick with loyalty or go for the moola? Do you risk giving the "wrong" person the grand prize in the hopes you might just win it? It's not Sophie's choice, but an interesting one at that.

Welp, now that that's over with, I predict Maggie will win the whole deal.
Ivette screwed herself out of 500 large, imo.
