Big Brother: All-Stars, August 22 - Safe? by Mike DeGeorge -- 08/23/2006 Everyone seems to feel safe this week. Neither of Mike's nominees are worried - they know Chill Town will keep them in the house despite the mountains of fallen bodies of houseguests who thought the same thing. Who is right? Who is Chill Town protecting? And why does James go on a full-blown tantrum? Mike has all the details, inside! Previously, James was nominated and proved once again why I didn’t want him in the house – he’s an immature jerk who whines and cries when things don’t go his way. He saved himself and George nominated Howie, who proved himself an even bigger ass than we thought. I’m so incredibly disappointed in Howie and Janelle. I’m now positive that the only reason I liked them was because I hated the Friendship with a passion. It also proves once again how much more interesting the house would have been had Cappy come back, much as I hated his alliance last season. After Howie’s elimination, and a near fight with Mike Boogie, Mike won Head of Household. I never thought I’d see the day where I was happy for HOH Mike Boogie. Danielle celebrated with Mike, which surprised the heck out of me. It hurt James to see the way Howie went out. Howie is too trusting, James says, and his downfall was trusting Chill Town. He’s not alone there, let me tell you. Janelle is sure that Chill Town lied to them. Ya think? They replay the almost-fight between Mike and Howie after the eviction. Amusingly, on the live feeds, Mike was certain that the producers wouldn’t air it in order to make Howie look better, when the complete opposite is true. Mike throws something across the room (his key?) and stomps off. Tension is high, and heightened still by the music. Mike didn’t expect it, and wonders if Howie got the memo that Big Brother is a game where people lie. I always find it amusing when people get mad at others for breaking their word, especially since we’ve had so many seasons of these shows now. Will says Howie thought he was safe because he, Will, told Howie he was safe. He thinks that if anyone tells you they can play Big Brother well without lying, they’re lying. Yeah, just ask Kaysar. George laughs that no one would have thought the Jedi apprentice would have “light-saber” the master out the door. Erika calls it “typical Howie,” and she’s glad he’s gone. She reads the “hate” definition as “bringing forth anger and feelings of disgust” and says that’s how Howie made her feel. Meanwhile, James consoles Janelle as she complains that they lied to them. James points out that it’s Chill Town, that’s what they do. He leaves out words I would have used, like “duh” and “ya think, Sherlock?” In any case, I find it funny how James can insult Janelle to her face, basically telling her that he’s in an alliance without telling her, and she has no clue. Janelle is overwhelmed, she has no room for mistakes, and doesn’t trust anyone anymore. James feels partially responsible for hurting Howie and Janelle, and he feels bad, since he knows them outside the house. We get a replay of Mike outlasting Janelle for HOH, and I find it funny that Janelle seems almost as upset about getting hit by a pie as she does about losing. I may be overanalyzing there, of course. Either way, I laugh at her pain. Ha ha. Mike hopes that the HOH bedroom is nice and “Chilly.” Danielle is excited. Will, not so much, because he’s always believed that HOH is the worst thing that can happen to you. Chill Town is now the biggest target in the house. Mike mentions that, since the Coup d’Etat power was only good for three nominations and he hasn’t used it, it’s expired. Janelle thinks it’s her against the house, and she’d be right. Janelle is crying, and out of nowhere, the producers add one of those sparkly “ding” effects to her tear. These producers are incredible. James joins Janelle and asks what’s really wrong. Janelle thinks it’s all her fault and James must have to summon the power of a thousand men not to scream his agreement. He says it’s not her fault, as she’s only one vote. Janelle continues to mope in various photogenic locations. She’s joined by George, who cheers her up by telling her all she’s got going for her – she’s beautiful, she’s rich, she’s got huuuuge tracts of land… no, wait, that’s someone else. The moping and sad music continues as various houseguests try to cheer her up. Will teases her in his obnoxiously charming manner. In the diary room, she says that she wants to appear weak, and to make them think that she doesn’t have any fight left in her when she does. As another Evil Doctor once said, “Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.” Later, Janelle asks Will why they didn’t tell her. He says because she would have told him, and it would have been much worse. Considering how he left, that’s certainly believable. Will says whether she forgives him or not, he didn’t want to vote Howie out, and that people who think they’re safe never are. Either the gnomes are back, or I just saw a foreshadowing fairy. Will tells us that he feels sorry for her. But, ever the player, Will wants to take the phenomenal competitor out of her dark place and rebuild her, stronger, faster, and more loyal. Then he’s going to use her to take out James. Damn, this guy is GOOD. He mentions to Janelle that now that Howie’s gone, the strongest player doesn’t have an alliance. He suggests she go with Chill Town. Mike asks who wants to see his HOH room. Crickets in the house say, “wow, it’s quiet in here.” It’s ugly, with lots of bright colors and stripes. Of course, Mike loves it. Among his pictures is the bikini picture from his season. That’s disturbing. Later, Chill Town discusses the plan. They want to put up Janelle and James, and if one of them wins veto, vote out the other. Will says the Legion of Doom is impenetrable from the outside, but it’s cracking from the inside – thanks to him. He doesn’t trust James, as James has an alliance with everyone in the house. Well, except George. Mike thinks they should help Janelle win veto, since no one in their right mind would think they would ally with her at this point. And if it doesn’t work, oh well. It’s win-win for them. Mike thinks these nominations will give them the best chance to come down the home stretch. James walks in, and immediately agrees to go on the block. He knows that he’s safe, since the Legion of Doom has the numbers no matter what. Wow, those fairies work FAST. James shakes hands with the devil. Janelle is expecting to be nominated, because the whole house wants her out and Boogie will listen to the rest of the house. All this time and she really has no clue? George is still trying to be a nice guy, probably because he IS, and tells her he knows how she feels to be alone. She tells him that Chill Town lied about keeping Marcellas, which George apparently didn’t know about. He offers to stick with her and help her stay, and it looks like they make a final two alliance even though Janelle looks less than thrilled about it. George is just glad to have someone he can talk to. Janelle enjoyed her conversation with George, and feels she can trust him. Huh, so she was happy about it. Genuine emotion from Janelle – that’s why I didn’t recognize it! Outside, Janelle dresses down Will for his many lies. He says he’s going to make it up to her by nominating James. As part of the deal, she doesn’t want to be nominated. He says they have the votes to get rid of James. Will thinks he’s building the perfect monster, a fembot named Janelle. Janelle enters the HOH room and Mike pitches their idea to nominate herself and James and then help her win veto. We don’t see Janelle’s reaction aside from her “fake smile” face. I see what Chill Town is doing – they want to prove to her that they are loyal and that even though they’ve lied, NOW they can trust her. However, if I were Janelle I wonder why they wouldn’t nominate Danielle, thus taking a vote away from James and ensuring that my new/old friend doesn’t get submarined like so many others have. Nomination time. We get the typical wondering about who will go up, which is pretty pointless because we know who is going up. James doesn’t believe it when Janelle says she has no fight left. Janelle says the more she acts depressed, the more people will think she’s an easy target. They show clips of her acting “defeated” which are TOTALLY different from her crying jag earlier on. Seems like she’s turning real life into a strategy. Mike says people won’t know how complicated the plan is. Mike brings out the cheesewheel of fate! He says he’s not going to lie and say it was a hard decision. It was quite easy because the two nominees are the most highly skilled players. Danielle is safe, then George, Erika, and Will. I love how he left Will’s key in till last. He mentions Janelle’s comment earlier in the season that if he didn’t like S6, to win HOH and do something about it. James says he feels safe with his fate in the hands of his alliance, that’s what being on a team is about. Yikes. Janelle also feels safe. Will is trying to keep from laughing. Janelle asks James if he’s OK, and he’s calm because he knew it was coming. It’s funny, both think the other is the true target because both trust Will, even though he’s given them ample reason not to. James less so than Janelle, but still. Janelle claims she’s still depressed and doesn’t want to talk about it. Then they talk about it. She says she wants to go home sometimes. Time to pick players for the veto competition. Mike draws houseguest’s choice, and he and Will make a production out of wondering who he will pick. Janelle draws Danielle, which upsets her and pleases James. James draws Erika, which means George is host. Afterward, Janelle celebrates in the HOH room with Chill Town. Will tells her that Erika and Danielle think that Chill Town is with them, so why don’t they go after James, Erika, and Danielle instead? Janelle seems to accept this, and why not? She’s believed the pretty lie above the ugly truth all season. Will explains to us that Janelle must stay in the house. Janelle as an individual is still a bigger target than Chill Town as a pair. They have to keep her, even if she isn’t with them, since everyone else will be against her. Janelle is suspicious, and still plans to go after them if she’s still in the house. With that, it’s time for veto! The backyard is now a Survivor-style jungle, complete with torches and flaming idol. It’s kind of a savage version of musical chairs, as they have to collect a sacrificial doll for the big flaming idol and bring them back to the kneeling stone, which looks like a knocked-over headstone. There will always be one fewer stones than there are contestants, as the last person will be eliminated each round. Janelle then steals my musical chairs reference, then kills it by comparing the game to duck-duck-goose, which has nothing whatsoever in common with this game. However, I’m now stuck with Janelle in my head as Ralph Wiggum in that Simpsons episode. Round one – they have to bring the person that Kaysar nominated for eviction with Diane. James is back first, followed quickly by Janelle. Everyone else seems to be taking a while, as Will has to ask who he’s looking for. Will tells us that he doesn’t want people to think he throws competitions, but just that he’s lousy at them. Mike and Will return, followed by Erika. Danielle complains that she looked everywhere and couldn’t find one. It is in fact Nakomis, a doll with wild colored hair. Round two – when Danielle used the veto, who took her place on the block? Mike, James, and Janelle sprint off, but Will and Erika stroll away from the idol. Will remembers that Kaysar didn’t want to play for veto that week and it cost him. Janelle first back, followed by James and Erika. Mike beats out Will, who could care less. Round three – the idol wants the doll of the houseguest who was evicted with a 9-0 vote. Mike says he saw a Jase doll early on, saw that Janelle was near, and put it on the ground for her to find. Sneaky. Erika actually returns first, followed by Janelle. James finds the last doll, and Mike is eliminated. Round four – bring back the idol of the first houseguest eliminated in the veto competition hosted by BB2’s Nicole. They sprint off, and it should be pointed out that not only does James push by Erika, he dives almost on top of Janelle to try to grab a doll that she’s already in the process of picking up. James then whines that he was “physically assaulted” when she kicked him – after he clearly went after her – and shows us his poor widdle thumb that got an owie. NOW do you people see why I can’t stand James? I’m no fan of Janelle, but James acted like a total and complete jerk, bully, and above all, poor sport. He tried to get the doll because he thought he could out muscle Janelle and then whined about it when she ended up with it. Why would he run for the area Janelle already had? She was clearly there before he was, already on the ground. Besides, James doesn’t think he’s going home anyway – he’s got the votes, remember, no matter WHO is against him! So in his mind, does he even have a stake? In any case, Janelle and Erika end up with Marcellas dolls, and James is eliminated. Will and Mike have been laughing the whole time. James complains that she pulled the doll out of his hand. Erika wants to win and keep the nominations intact so that Janelle goes home. Final round – bring back the idol of the houseguest evicted with a 7-1 vote. The two search, in separate areas I might add, until Janelle finally finds a Diane doll. Janelle wins power of veto while Chill Town applaud out of “respect.” James just glares. In the diary room, James says that “the bitch took the doll out of {his} hand.” He says that’s defined as assault in the outside world. Yes, but the outside world doesn’t have people running around a fake yard looking for dolls to satisfy a fake idol either. Hey, how about another example. A man is running down a field when suddenly another man slams into him and roughly takes him down to the ground. Assault? Maybe, but in football, it’s called a “tackle.” In case you didn’t get my subtle innuendo, James, IT’S A GAME, YOU FRIGGING BABY! What’s more, you’re playing a game within a game that had a certain amount of physicality to it. If you can’t handle losing, go home. Janelle goes to hug James, and in a delightful bit of irony, he brushes her off, saying that she displayed poor sportsmanship. I love it when people make comments like that to other people when they really apply more toward themselves. Janelle said she can’t believe he’s mad at her about a freaking doll. I’m starting to remember why I liked Janelle in the first place. I’m almost sorry Howie wasn’t here for this. Janelle happily displays the veto in the diary room. James stomps into the house and Will asks what happened. Slow motion replay reveals that Janelle tried to grab the Howie doll out of James’ hand, but he never even touched the Marcellas doll. James claims to Danielle that Janelle pulled the doll out of his hand so hard she cracked his nail. Will points out that she kicked James, which she did, albeit accidentally, which is actually what caused the hand injury. Will says to hear James tell it, Janelle “kicked him and bit him and punched him in the face and pulled one of his eyes out and got a pair of pliers and pulled out one of his wisdom teeth. The way {Will} saw it, she just WHOOPED HIS ASS!” Yeah, I think what’s bothering James the most here is that he got out muscled (and injured) by a GIRL. In the HOH room, Mike and Will dance around like Howie and Jase winning a dual HOH. During the celebration, Mike accidentally kicks Will, but the editors must have censored Will’s complaining diary room speech in order to make James look bad and Mike look good. Lest you think I’m picking on James, check out the live feeds for the past few days. James’ rants make Howie’s “Busto” rants look tame. Will continues that James thinks the game is fixed in Janelle’s favor. Will says that it is, and HE is the one fixing it! They can’t wait to see the jury videos, with each evicted player complaining that Chill Town got them evicted. Will warns Mike that the plan could go very wrong if Danielle and Erika team up against them, so Mike and Will have to act very pissed about Janelle winning veto. Just then, Erika comes in as Mike walks to the bathroom. Will warns her that Mike is pissed, and Mike acts the part, not even wanting to talk about it. Heh. Mike is a horrible actor. Erika asks what Mike will do, and Will assures her that he’s going to put up George, “definitely not you or Danielle!” As if that thought were just outrageous! Erika looks for all the world like that’s exactly why she walked in that HOH room door, and if that’s the case, smart girl. Will thinks they should act worried. Erika thinks they should put Danielle up, and then she would owe them when she stayed. Will floats the idea of James going home, and Erika is 100% behind it. Erika “knows” Mike wanted Janelle to go, but James is fine by her too. I may be repeating myself, but MAN, these guys are GOOD. Janelle is worried that Mike will nominate Chicken George in her place, and she’s not thrilled about that. James thinks Erika or Chicken George will go up, and I think he says that either scenario will play out good for him. Sucker. Veto ceremony. Janelle decides not… to remain on the block, and to save herself. George laughs. Mike nominates George, the worst dressed man in television, in her place, to no one’s surprise. James doesn’t seem to care that Janelle is off. He feels safe. Idiot. Mike says that all good things must end. Much like Howie, there may be a freight train coming in James’ direction. George always expects to be the one to go, because then you’re not surprised when it happens.http://www.realitynewsonline.com/cgi-bin/ae.pl?mode=4&article=article9834.art&page=1

James stomps into the house and Will asks what happened. Slow motion replay reveals that Janelle tried to grab the Howie doll out of James’ hand, but he never even touched the Marcellas doll. James claims to Danielle that Janelle pulled the doll out of his hand so hard she cracked his nail. Will points out that she kicked James, which she did, albeit accidentally, which is actually what caused the hand injury. Will says to hear James tell it, Janelle “kicked him and bit him and punched him in the face and pulled one of his eyes out and got a pair of pliers and pulled out one of his wisdom teeth. The way {Will} saw it, she just WHOOPED HIS ASS!” Yeah, I think what’s bothering James the most here is that he got out muscled (and injured) by a GIRL. In the HOH room, Mike and Will dance around like Howie and Jase winning a dual HOH. During the celebration, Mike accidentally kicks Will, but the editors must have censored Will’s complaining diary room speech in order to make James look bad and Mike look good. Lest you think I’m picking on James, check out the live feeds for the past few days. James’ rants make Howie’s “Busto” rants look tame. Will continues that James thinks the game is fixed in Janelle’s favor. Will says that it is, and HE is the one fixing it! They can’t wait to see the jury videos, with each evicted player complaining that Chill Town got them evicted. Will warns Mike that the plan could go very wrong if Danielle and Erika team up against them, so Mike and Will have to act very pissed about Janelle winning veto. Just then, Erika comes in as Mike walks to the bathroom. Will warns her that Mike is pissed, and Mike acts the part, not even wanting to talk about it. Heh. Mike is a horrible actor. Erika asks what Mike will do, and Will assures her that he’s going to put up George, “definitely not you or Danielle!” As if that thought were just outrageous! Erika looks for all the world like that’s exactly why she walked in that HOH room door, and if that’s the case, smart girl. Will thinks they should act worried. Erika thinks they should put Danielle up, and then she would owe them when she stayed. Will floats the idea of James going home, and Erika is 100% behind it. Erika “knows” Mike wanted Janelle to go, but James is fine by her too. I may be repeating myself, but MAN, these guys are GOOD. Janelle is worried that Mike will nominate Chicken George in her place, and she’s not thrilled about that. James thinks Erika or Chicken George will go up, and I think he says that either scenario will play out good for him. Sucker. Veto ceremony. Janelle decides not… to remain on the block, and to save herself. George laughs. Mike nominates George, the worst dressed man in television, in her place, to no one’s surprise. James doesn’t seem to care that Janelle is off. He feels safe. Idiot. Mike says that all good things must end. Much like Howie, there may be a freight train coming in James’ direction. George always expects to be the one to go, because then you’re not surprised when it happens.
