Recap, Week 9 (9/7)
Boogie & Erika Final Duo
Former sweethearts Boogie and Erika face off in the final round of the three-part HoH Competition. Janelle stands on the sidelines waiting for her fate to be decided. If it is true that it is in the ability to deceive oneself that the greatest talent is shown, then Erika is a savant, for she has deceived and deluded herself into swallowing Boogie’s line, hook and sinker yet again.
NO CLASS ACT HERE
Boogie’s confidence is shaken by Will’s eviction, while the girls are on top of the world. “You get ‘em, girlfriend! Let’s get these boys,” Erika cheers, as Janelle confesses, “Evicting Will was horrible.” After Will’s departure, Erika walks by her spurned lover and, with a sneering smile, sighs, “Checkmate.” Boogie is chagrined that his showmance-turned-homance has blown up in his face and Erika actually outwitted him. “America now knows she is a ho,” he accuses childishly, adding, “I’ve used that girl up for all I need…. That’s all she was good for.”
Unaware of the depth of Mike Boogie’s disparaging remarks about her character, Erika maintains her decorum. “I think the baby plans are going to be put on hold now,” she smirks. “I think he’s a little mad at me.” Mike does not appear to be taking the eviction of his bromance-buddy at all well, as he heads to the Diary Room for some alone time. Once there, he confides, “This is the first time all season Chilltown has been played.” Boogie seems most upset that he was played by the girl he was supposed to be playing, and compliments Erika: “I give her credit for being a backstabbing witch, but now the gloves are off. Let’s do this.” Janelle is happily removed from the scorched earth of the showmancers, confiding, “I think Erika and I are getting the last laugh. I mean, what goes around comes around, right?”
OH, TAKE A MAN PILL!
Erika wins the first round of the three-part final HoH Competition after Janelle lets go of her key when Boogie unexpectedly jumps off the volcano. Janelle wanted to win the first part of the contest, but is now even more determined to win the second part. Boogie is also eyeing the second part of the final HoH Competition, but is stuck trying to understand what just happened to his grand plan. “Clearly, the girls struck some sort of deal to take down Chilltown,” Boogie sighs, grasping for answers. “I just don’t know what happened.”
The babes chat over ciggies in the backyard. Erika seems to be all about revenge at this point, divulging her true hopes for the next competition. “I just hope Janelle can smoke him in the next round. I have all the faith in the world that that girl will,” Erika smirks between puffs. “Boogie is history.”
Unable to stand it a minute longer, Boogie heads to the Diary Room and begins to cry. “We can dish it out, but we can’t take it,” Mike sniffs as he loses his cool-guy veneer and cries like a little girl, even wiping his nose with his hat. Janelle is happily at the other end of the emotional spectrum, grinning, “If any woman has ever been played by a guy, she should feel great for what Erika and I have just accomplished.” Mike sits in the Diary Room, calling his Chiltown buddy on their old “hotline,” but no one answers his ring. Poor Boogie sits glumly with his hand-phone ringing in vain, sighing, “Oh, man.”
CAR-AZY COMPETITION
The second part of the final HoH Competition, Fly by Night, is unveiled after dark. The HouseGuests enter the backyard to see laser beams, smoke and a GM Pontiac Solstice convertible hanging high above the backyard. Pictures of the past six winners of BIG BROTHER are placed around the upper rim of the circular scaffolding. The players are hooked into harnesses and hoisted high over the ground to the scaffolding rim. They have to swing from each point where a face is placed along the circle’s rim to the next, directing the laser beams off the mirrors at each location to point to the next BIG BROTHER winner, in the proper order of the seasons.
Janelle has trouble directing her lasers, and when she finishes, she is “not pleased with (her) time.” Boogie has toughened up again and insists he is adamant that he, not the girls, will determine his own destiny. Focusing on winning, Boogie makes a mental map of the course in his mind, so that he can cover the course as fast as possible. “When you’re up against Janelle, there’s no room for error.” he admits grimly. When he finishes the course, he cheers, “Beat that! Beat that!” Janelle’s time is too slow, leaving Boogie to face Erika in the third part. Janelle feels bad that Erika has to face Boogie in the final part of the HoH competition, admitting to not trusting either one will take her to the Final Two. “Why would they take me?” she shrugs.
ADDICTED TO LOVE
Boogie decides to play on Erika’s apparent desperate need for him to like her, so in the kitchen, he starts to chat about the finale. As all womankind exhale a collective groan, Erika begins to soften and give in to Boogie’s unique appeal. “I hate him, and I hate the fact that I’m still attracted to him, because I hate him so much,“ Erika cringes, realizing she is still emotionally vulnerable to Mike Boogie. Boogie is all grins as he applauds himself with “I wanted to threaten her that she would lose not only my vote but Will’s vote as well” if she doesn’t take him to the Final Two.
Host Julie Chen takes a moment to chat with the remaining HouseGuests, congratulating Boogie on winning the car. Of life without Will in the house, Boogie admits he misses the Dr., sighing, “The bromance is over; the romance is over.” When Julie asks her why she is no longer so chummy with Boogie, Erika smiles tightly. “Feelings change,” she answers lamely. “They come and go.” Boogie looks too comfortable as he snuggles slightly up to his former gal-pal.
LUCKY LOSERS
Meanwhile, life in the Jury House has started to mimic life inside the BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS house as George and Danielle take up cooking duties once again. Danielle feels good being at the Jury House, smiling, “Let’s just have some fun.” The five former HouseGuests gather at the front door to await their newest arrival. “I‘d hate to see Janey coming through the Jury house door, as I want her to win the whole thing,” worries Howie.
As the others wait at the front door, Will walks through the gate, grinning broadly. “I don’t believe it!” George cries. “Will is the newest member of the Jury, and I couldn’t possibly be happier. It’s sweet, poetic justice,” smirks Marcellas. “I got the worst boot in the history of BIG BROTHER,” Will laughs as they hug him, but declares, “I (am) excited to show the Jury members how I got kicked out. Am I embarrassed? Of course!” Will assembles everyone to watch the tape of his eviction. Danielle is amazed that Boogie put Will on the block after Janelle vetoed herself. “So sweet,” she frowns with raised eyebrows. When they hear Janelle’s reason for evicting Will, James and Danielle are immediately cynical, claiming it is “completely trying to get votes.” Marcellas is pleased that Janelle mentioned his eviction as a reason for evicting Will, “even if Howie’s name was mentioned in the same sentence.” Danielle chides the chill-boys for forgetting that “girls talk.” Will is more resigned, admitting, “I will give credit where credit is due. They spanked my ass, both cheeks; they’re still red, and it still hurts.”
FALSE-HEARTED FELLOW & HIS FAIR MAIDEN
The final round of the three-part final HoH Competition takes place inside the house. Julie announces she will be reading six statements made by members of the Jury while they were in the house. For each statement, she reads two possible endings, and the players have to guess which ending is correct. Julie asks the first two questions, and both Boogie and Erika get them correct. The third question sees Mike take the lead, which he maintains until the final question. Mike Boogie is declared the final HoH in the BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS house.
Julie lets the gals plead their case to Boogie, and Erika shakily asks him to take her, while Janelle is feistier. When he is asked to stand and cast his eviction vote, Mike looks Janelle in the eye and evicts her. Janelle is teary as she leaves, and Erika and Boogie kiss.
Julie and Janelle talk outside the house. Janelle admits that one of the flaws in her game this year was that she trusted too many people, especially Chilltown. Janelle watches her good-bye messages before Julie wishes her luck in the Jury house.
Janelle is out, leaving behind Erika and Mike to vie for the prize money. For whom will the Jury vote? Neither candidate has mass popularity in the Jury, so will it come down to Will’s ability to convince his fellow jurors, or will the floaters take stock and take a stand against Chilltown in the final vote? Tune in for the exciting finale of BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS, Tuesday, September 12, 8pm ET/PT, only on CBS.
