Posted at jokersupdates.com:

Neither the HG who were not voted into the house nor those who have been evicted from the house have been sequestered... but apparently someone IS coming back to stay in the house for a period of time, longer than just a competition. Rumour on the net says it will happen this Thursday and may have to do with the Coup d'Etat, but the little birdies aren't sure when it is going to happen. We don't know who's going in either... time will tell!

On another note, advertisers are NOT pleased about the low ratings BB is getting this year. Look for more product placements ON the show itself to try to apease them. Double thick cookies anyone?

One advertiser, Sunoco, has already pulled their advertising bucks - that's why the label was mostly covered (you could still tell it was Sunoco) on the gas can in the lux comp.

Well, Allison is supposed to be at Frankie at the Prado in Atlanta on Thursday night to watch Big Brother with other fans of the show. So... I can't see her showing up on the show unless it's from a taped segment.

...

I called Frankies and they did confirm her appearance at Frankies for tomorrow night's episode of Big Brother. I'm almost tempted to go and gawk, but she is but a psuedo-celeb anyway, as are all these houseguests, for the most part.

Right now, I'm so angry with Kaysar, Janie, and Howie (although he's so dumb, he doesn't deserve as much blame) that I hope they go out 1, 2, 3.

I want Janie to win, but last night she and Kaysar were nibbling on the idea that James was with Dani and the whole thing James did was a set-up.

They went into great detail. Howie came in later and spoke about how it was weird that James seemed so calm for someone who might be voted out. The others brought up that it was odd that James wasn't campaining for votes and then they talked about how he gave away points in the POV competition and for someone needed to stay, that didn't make any sense.

At a certain point, Kaysar said he was NOT positive that they had an all out alliance, but that Dani and James had some kind of back up plan. All the evidence and they were JUST getting to "thinking seriously" about James being on another side already. But instead of coming up with a plan to really test it out or to bluff the other side and try and find out and answer OR to just be smart and assume for now James is working with the enemy, instead, they just sat there talking themselves in and out of believing what is so clearly obvious even from in the inside based on their observations of how James is behaving.

Kaysar also pointed out how Dani has been preaching about how "You don't tell people how to vote, they need to vote how they want to vote" (and she's said that over and over and over again), but now she was telling people how to vote and campaiging for votes...more evidence something was up.

So, they wake up today and their big plan was to tell CT/Will everything they knew. Janie did this. So Will goes to Dani and Dani tells will to tell Janie that Dani is asking people to vote out James. Just that quickly Janie and Kaysar have given up the idea that James is on another team and have openly stated they feel badly for not believing in him.

Idiots.

They need to take a bold move and assume James was on another team and stick with that bluff (because it's the truth, they never could have been busted) and then gone around the house letting people know that they knew. Not that the believed, but that they knew for sure. They also should have implied to different people that someone told them this. That would have created a lot of paranoia, especially after Dani got screwed by her teammates in the POV, and maybe there would have been an opening created for Kaysar, Janie, and Howie to work. Even if not to save Kaysar, but to create a fracture in the LOD now and not let CT feel no pressure for the next 2 weeks.

The only good news is that Will has finally committed to a lie. He told Janie that Dani wanted James out and when Kaysar goes, she "should" be able to realize this wasn't true. No matter what lie comes up, there would no good reason for Will to explain why he would go against Dani's wishes AND go against Janie's wishes (someone he promised an alliance with) and then vote out Kaysar. Of course, while Janie is usually very quick to figure something out, she's horrible and believing in herself and is easily talked out of things.

The only chance that Janie and Howie have to not get picked off soon is if this big twist on Thursday gives them some kind of advantage.

Other than that, the LOD seems very strong. James can throw HOH so he doesn't have to personally put up Howie and Janie. Dani has Erika, CG, and Marci to do her dirty work, and when it gets time to pick off her own, Dani can let CT pick off the floaters that have to eventually go like Erika, CG, and Marci.

PS-Oh and Janie mentioned that she felt James was acting at the nomination ceremony. She totally had him dead to rights by saying last season when he was angry for being nominated, that he would just sit very still and stew. This time she said he kept putting his head in his hands and over-acting. Funny that Janie remembered how James reacted last season and James didn't. She totally had him and yet she had no confidence in herself to put this all together and realize that he was in another alliance and lying to them all. Also, funny because James said he should win an award for acting and, yet, he did the exact opposite of what he would have normally done, only Janie was perceptive enough to notice, she took to long to bring it up, and she didn't trust her instincts. I guess James can give back his Academy Award.

Well, the Coup d'Etat twist might really hose someone mightily down the line (whether it is next week, or 3 weeks from now).

Obviously the first word of the "phrase" is "You" (from the ewe in the house).

I thought that also.

And then I thought "Finally, a love interest for Boogie!"

Big Brother All Stars Scandal – Will There Be A Do Over For The HOH Competition?

Not since American Idol showed the incorrect phone numbers has there been a bigger scandal in a reality TV competition than what happened on the most recent episode of Big Brother All Stars. The live head of household competition contained some apparent technical malfunctions that likely changed the entire outcome of the game. The head of household competition challenged houseguests to answer a series of questions about a séance that they had held. To answer the questions, the houseguests hit a true or false button that illuminated a true or false sign in front of them. Any houseguest who answered the question incorrectly was eliminated from the game. If all houseguests answered the question correctly, then the last houseguest to buzz in was eliminated from the game.

The first technical malfunction occurred after Julie Chen asked the question “True or False, Bunky was sure that Will could treat snake bites.” Erika, Howie, James, and Will all answered the question correctly as false, and Janelle answered the question incorrectly as True. Even though Mike Boogie could be seen hitting a button, neither the true nor false sign lit up in front of him. Julie Chen did not appear to notice that Mike Boogie had no answer displayed and just eliminated Janelle from the game.

The second technical malfunction occurred after Julie Chen asked the question “True or False, the black knight was stolen by Eric.” James, Will, Mike, and Erika all hit their buttons and their signs for the correct answer true lit up. Even though Howie Gordon could clearly be seen hitting a button, neither the true nor false sign lit up in front of him. However, this time Julie Chen noticed and asked Howie for an answer. Howie again hit the button and the correct true sign lit up.

But because everyone had the question answered correctly, Julie eliminated Howie from the game for being the last to answer. Howie protested “I hit it,” but Julie either did not hear him or ignored his protest. As Howie left, James could be heard saying “I had to hit mine twice too, Howie.” If Howie’s sign had illuminated the first time that he hit the button, then it’s likely that Dr. Will or James would have been the one eliminated from the competition. Dr. Will appeared to be the last one to hit his button, but James also apparently suffered from a technical malfunction and his sign did not light until what appeared to be the second time he hit his button.

Should the head of household be redone? Big Brother might be able to say that Howie hit the button incorrectly and it was his own fault that his sign did not light up, except for the fact that Mike Boogie was allowed to stay in the game when his sign did not light up. Please post your opinion below on if you think there should be a do over for the head of household competition.

Pretty shoddy job by BB. If you know that the quickness of hitting the button is going to be a decider, make sure the freaking button works. I had the ep on my DVR and had to replay the whole thing to make sure that these obvious errors were actually happening.

As for the coup d'etat - I got the impression that the person who wins it will be aware of it, but the other houseguests won't know who won it until the eviction cermony.

It's too bad. I'm sure that Erika as Head of Household this week would punch her ticket to be gone next week. On the other hand, if someone else gets it, there's a chance Marcy could go this week.

But Janelle leaving even when Mike Boogie never answered a question was before Howie. I think they gotta do the whole thing again or the integrity of the game is tainted from that point on.

Well, Janelle is the new Head of Household.

I'm sure Erika won't be complaining all night long. Welcome to your second nomination, Danielle.

The big question no one seems to know even at jokers is whether the Coup d'etat can be evicted next week OR if only her noms can be changed by the new HOH.

If you can do more than change both noms, this game is just as fucked as it proved to be with that contest.

The HOH should at least get something from winning the HOH-which would be protection against being on the block.

Like when you win POV, you can take someone off and you can't be put up.

The Coup winner can have a lot of power completely changing the noms, but to be able to nominate the current HOH would be a joke.

This crappy show just makes stuff up as they go along. I really don't even care that Janie won, because Will and James both will just tell her what to do and with only Howie for support-she basically has no support.

So, unless the HOH is protected some from the Coup, Janie has no chance of making it more than another week or 2 anyway.

What is sad about this season, is that the float herd suck so bad. None of them have any balls.

Don't they realize that they can't all be Dani's choice? All of them sticking with her, when they could be making some side deals (not even a shred of evidence of that yet) is pathetic. They are as dumb about the game as Janie was/is for listening to Will or Kaysar for not letting himself believe James was flipping in time to do something.

And if they don't make a side alliance soon, I can't wait until they see she's with James and CT.

OMG, Janie just told Howie they should tell James they were sorry for suspecting that he was working them.

As much as I like Janie, I don't even know what to say about the fact that she doesn't even suspect him when it's not just obvious to the outsiders/viewers, but there have been so many clues to people living in the house.

Janie said she'd feel awful when James gets out and sees the tapes of them talking about him being with Dani and against them.

What till she gets out and sees that's exactly what he was doing and calling her a fat bitch and a whore as well.

I also don't yet understand Will's endgame. Can anyone tell me why he would want to make the final 4, him, Boogie, Dani, and James? If anyone can beat Will it's Dani. There will be hate for her, but she's considered the best player other than him. Also, if he's looking out for Boogie, Boogie can't beat James or Dani with the jury.

But, just going by what's likely to happen, it would seem like Boogie and Will would be better off with Howie and Janie. Howie can't win with the jury against anyone in my opinion..well, except maybe Marci. Howie would be viewed as a weak player brought to the end by a strong player. Janelle is hated by pretty much everyone who will be on the jury. Or in the case of a nice person like CG, CG simply is closer to other potential finalists than he is with Janie.

Will and Boogie both probably beat either Janie or Howie. Even if James ended up on the jury and went with Janie and Howie did as well, those are the only 2 votes she could get.

So who is Will planning to get to the end with? And, remember, Will wanted Kay out because he thought he could lose to him in the end, but Will wanted to flip on James and keep Janelle. He told that to Boogie. So if someone does win the CDT and puts up Janie up, I wonder if he'll want to flip again and keep someone who is a strong player but who is totally smitten with him and is easily manipulated and hated by the majority of the house.

It's strange. Will seems to be trying to keep Dani off the block right now and get Marci put up instead. Why? Marci is someone he can whip in the end, so why would Will be trying to get someone out who he and Boogie can beat unless he's truly being loyal to James and Dani. I don't get it.

Chilltown wants Marcy out because he's the only one in the enitre house who has Chilltown first on his hit list. He may talk all sorts of shit about Janelle, but he knows that Chilltown is out to get him.

Maybe that's true short term, but what's Will's long term game plan? I'm still very unsure. It still seems like he IS more loyal deep down to Dani and James... at least as much as it's possible for Will to be loyal in this game.

Why? Remember, Will is super smart so he should be playing for Boogie too. If Boogie makes final 2 and Will doesn't, Boogie won't stand a chance against James or Dani.

Those 2 are a much better pair than is Howie and Janie. You can only have one side go after the other so many times and that's been brilliant, but eventually if it works, who do you want to survive the carnage? Not only in terms of the jury but as far as comps. Janie is maybe the best all around comp player, but, considering luck and physicality will likely come into play again, Dani and James are easily the best 2 people to bet on for comps towards the end. Would Will and Boogie like to face those 2 in the final comps?

And there will be no splitting of money, Will has to know that that might be the only BS he's used that isn't working. If Dani wins, but Will gets to the final 4, Will is not getting a taste of Dani's winnings or James' winnings or Janelle's winnings or Howie's winnings. It just is killing me not knowing what Will's strategy is more long term, because he has to be playing for him or Boogie to win. And Will is a lock if he makes the final 2 and he knows it. Dani has the only chance of defeating him and she'd have to really be impressive at the end to do it.

I do love Janie and, again, not the looks. She's nice to look at but she's been so good and just fun to watch for must of two seasons. She's easy to root for like Kaysar was.

But she's not a good all-around player. In fact, as I've said before, there are 3 good players in this game. Dani, Will, and James. They play short term and long term.

Janie has almost has no strategy other than winning comps. She is not willing to do the things that it takes to win. She should be talking to people, lying, pretending to make deals, pretending to care, apologizing to people for all the bad feelings, etc, etc. But she's too angry and doesn't want to talk to anyone. That's so frustrating to watch, especially on top of the fact that she still thinks James is loyal and, although, she's said he'd be the first of S6 people to go if she had gotten to choose, she also says what a great player he is and isn't going around calling him names.

I guess, though, that's part of what makes Janie endearing and why she's been so popular with both male and female fans. She plays all out, wins a lot, and while she's short on strategy skills she doesn't take it all too seriously. She really wants any one of her alliance to win and doesn't mind being on the jury the same way as a lot of the others do. I mean, Erika has been crying and bitching all night ("that's so unfair, that was my game"). If the same thing happened to Janelle, she would have been pissed, but she would have not only accepted it by now but she'd be ready for whatever was in store for her next...including likely eviction.

Finally, it was funny that Howie, Will, and Janie wanted to come up for a name for their "alliance" and they couldn't come up with one. I was thinking that would have been an amazing moment for a dope like Howie to have said, "How 'bout The Legion of Doom." Nothing gets to Will, but he might have shit his pants if that happened.

There was a hockey line for the Philadelphia Flyers with Lindros, Renberg, and Leclair nicknamed the Legion of Doom. They were swept by the Wings in the Stanley Cup. I can only hope for the same results for this legion.

As do I. 2 weeks ago I would have loved it but I'm just not happy with Janelle and seeing as how her and Danni are on opposite side of the fence I hate it even more. I wonder if James can work some magic and get Marci evicted.

I hate danielle but I despise James. Marcellus is annoying. The only people left in the house I like are Will and Janelle. Dr. Will screws you over but at least he tells you he is going to screw you over, but you just don't listen to him. James has turned on Cappy, Sovereigns, then back to Maggie and then back to Sovereigns, now he's turned on Season 6. He'll turn on Danielle and Chilltown. But Will knows that. Sara you can do better, call me. Kaysar may be the worst player in big brother history. He's been kicked out of the house 3 times. By the way Erica has nice boobs, very impressive and definitely implants.
