Jun 9/6/06 11:33 pm By the way, I realized I have to QUIT smoking. Erika looks like DUNG lately...and consistently. She needs some Booger rehab and some nutrition once the season's over. Long spells of slop and protein shots does NOT do a body good.
	Jun 9/6/06 10:42 pm Hahaha...Monica, you crack me up. Yes, you're naturally funny, but you also bring me BACK far enough that it's funny. Gosh...i'm dating myself...but from your theme song referrence to all your "don't hate the playa" stuff, you are Monica tried and true. Erika made a couple (and key) moves this summer and that's why she's in the final three. I've said before...you don't have to play a perfect game, just not too many mistakes. She's not a floater in the true sense of the word but I get what you mean. She's certainly not a Janelle or Will...I don't know what she is in relation to Boogie anymore though. Oh JACK, I always get this weird feeling when you type out my name like you did. Like you're trying to backhand scold me or something JACK. :) I am, glad, however that you've got the pep back in your step. Hate Will much Jack? By the way...any of you guys here know what camotoe is? :)
	Monica 9/6/06 3:35 pm New playas in the house… Holla! Sisters are doing it for themselves. What did I say? Thelma & Louise in full effect. But look what it took to get them motivated. Erika begged Janelle to drive over the cliff with her and that's exactly what Janelle did. Yes, it was a powerful move and she will go down in BB history for bringing down the puppet master. But was it wise or not? Did she make that move for herself or for Erika? Erika pulled out the big guns to get Janelle to see the light at the end of the tunnel. This time she was so desperate to save herself that she swore on her mother’s life. OK, for me that is going too far. There is no need to swear on your mama, children or the bible. It's low down and dirty - just play the game without making it personal. We all know that she gave her word to Danielle and you see were she is. Everyone thought Will was the devil, but I think we may now have a devil in a blue dress. I find it funny that the final four has not mentioned “floaters” lately. Did they forget that Erika is a floater? Oh no...Amber Alert! Oh, and speaking of the final four...Watching them the last several days reminded me of a Laverne & Shirley/Lenny & Sqiggy special. Yeah, Will is gone but he is not forgotten. All of his lying and scheming came back to bite him, but look how long he lasted before they caught on. He left the house the same way he came in - playing the game. Don't hate the playa hate the game. Chill Town played well together and gave us a reason to watch this summer. But in the end it came down to women scorned. They really underestimated the women and never counted on them getting together to dish. Ha...and they think they know us. Oh, and the only thing missing from Boogie’s good-bye message was Chill’s theme song: Thank you for being a friend, Traveled down the road and back again. Your heart is true; you're a pal and a confidant. Wow, Boogie was a little upset. Ya think? Now that Batman is gone Robin will have to go into the burning building alone. I am not at all surprised by his power move - dropping out of the first round of the HOH. It seemed to rattle Janelle more than Erika. Well, it won’t be long until we find out if Boogie blows off the second round of the HOH and if Erika will be true to her word.
	Jack 9/6/06 11:53 am Jun, Erika will not be having web-footed children with Boogie. Thanks to Erika's long overdue brainstorming with Janelle, Boogie has been consigned to his usual habit of having sex alone. His mouth went dry and his face curled into a moon pie when his Maxi-Me got Janelled. And yes, Jun, you would have sent Will back to squeezing pimples out of fake faces long before the jury sequester. Erika and Janelle maneuvered the most fun to watch ambush in BB memory. After all, it was the ambush of sweet Michelle that kept Erika in the game in Season 4. Intuitive Will half-saw his demise coming. Boogie was clueless. Using Janelle as her instrument, Erika microwaved Chill Town into a puddle in the shape of Will's corpse. After BoDoc was vomited out of the House to tell Julie that he and she had CHEMISTRY, poor little Boogie was overheard to lament that he'd never been in the Big Brother House without his Will. Without Will, he'll have no will. Sincere Janelle is phenomenal, the best BB player ever along with Will. Erika ain't too shabby either. She refused to surrender to what seemed her foregone eviction, and relentlessly campaigned to turn Janelle around. As the architect of the Cigarette Alliance with Janelle, Erika smoked Will. She is playing for second place in the finals against Janelle, but there are worse things. Like being in federal prison with Boogie's role model, Richard Hatch.
	Jun 9/5/06 9:48 pm Oh, and did I mention Janelle's a powerhouse? Ali and I did the same thing our season. But DANGGGGGGG! I bet Will's sting is SPICY. And apparently he's trying to suppress it with cliches. Teehee...I still can't believe Janelle took him out like that... "...last mistake I'll make..."
	Amy 9/5/06 9:14 pm WOW! I am loving Janelle and Erika right now! I'm really glad that they finally put two and two together and figured it all out. And the sequester house is just as entertaining (and so much more dramatic) than the actual Big Brother house! I could not stop laughing at Marcellas and his comments to Howie. They were so funny...and of course, I love to see Marcellas being funny. It is SO entertaining. I can't believe that there are only 2 more shows left. I miss it already.
	Jun 9/5/06 9:10 pm I've been saying all week I wanted Erika to go home this week. Not for anything but just because this is when she got taken out my season. I want to say it's either ego or spite, but perhaps it's both. Nevertheless, Season 6ers came in fourstrong and they've all but been eliminated (I don't care what you say, Janelle's a powerhouse). Season 2 Gizztown came in as a pair (Again, it doesn't matter how many peripheral members there were, they are two). And Erika's the sole BB4 survivor. Props to all of them. But I'd rather have people who came in with an actual strategy that is calculated and carried out. There has to be more murder than manslaughter in BB for it to ge a real game plan. Will had it the most and I'd rather see him win than anyone else. I would also LOVE to go up against him but oh well. By the way, does anyone hear the pitter-patter of webbed feet yet?
	Dana 9/5/06 10:02 am Oh Jack - at times I wish that I had the opportunity to make you proud. As we all know - I am not so good at keeping the mouth shut – and all of these peeps deserve an earful. I'm sure it would have been music to everybody’s ears to hear me go off on a rampage or 10! Can you picture it? Haha! What’s with all of the butt-kissing?? Did any of these “All-Stars” have a pulse? Any nerve? Or were they all machine-operated corpses? I tell you what though; I probably would have allowed Chilltown to run through the entire house for a while - why not? But the second I made it into the funkadelic HOH room - it would have been a game of a$$es$ up with those 2. My plan, had I made it into the house - was to trust no one. Not a single person - much less "ChillTown" – shouldn’t that have been everybody’s plan?? Will cracked me up when he said “maybe I should re-introduce myself…” Did people forget how good he actually was? Throughout this season, it has appeared that most of this wannabe-hollywood cast lost site of the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. There were some that really could have done some damage in this game – Jase is the 1st one that comes to mind. He would have added so much. Alison too. Hey, they all may have had different agendas this time around – but most of these guys haven’t showed the will to win - except for…WILL. Janelle shows some life from time to time – but she’s being by driven by Will in what is probably the most entertaining portion of the show at this point. How about Janelle winning HOH, Will telling her what to do – and her doing it?!? Did anybody else fall off of the couch laughing at that point? Nice work. Boogie was sweating bullets when he was in the hot seat – because yes, none of us would have put it past Will to get rid of his comrade when he had the chance. While Will is a lot of things – he is not stupid. He knows good and well he will win hands-down next to Boogie in the final 2. So on top of making the entire cast look like a bunch of fools this season, he also has the opportunity to look like a “good friend”. I’m so so so surprised with Erika. She had all of these wise words of wisdom for me during our season – especially when it came to the “showmance”. Aren’t you supposed to get older & wiser? It just “boogies” my mind how she put all of her faith in Chilltown?? What is she being blinded by? And I like Erika…therefore I cannot help but feel bad for her --- because she really does believe that something will come out of her “relationship”. Even if he did have real feelings for her…even if he friggin’ proposed after the finale --- I can’t see how she could forgive him and his behavior. I just don’t know… I’m sorry – a final thought. How about this whole “fast-forward” thing – potential to be AWESOME. But wait, Julie warns the houseguests that they had 4 minutes before nominations? What’s up with that? Totally blew that one. She may as well have said “Janelle – go talk with Will and figure out what you’re gonna do…hurry up – you only have 4 minutes”. Lame.
	Jun 9/5/06 12:49 am What the heck is up with Winston? Is he still alive? Did we lose him in the same plague we lost Justin, Amy, Ivette, Sarah, etc.? Was it Karen? Did she have some terminal blog infection that's taken everyone out? Apparently only four of us are immune...hmmm... Or maybe a commitment doesn't mean anything anymore... Let's keep it together until the season's over folks, it's ain't over until Jun sings...
	Jun 9/4/06 5:55 pm OMG, and I thought I was the only one who watched Degrassi. Not I don't feel so lame :). I wish I had some rhymes or lyrics up my sleeve, but I don't so I'm going to leave to you guys. Haha... It boggles my mind that Booger came IN with OPTIONS (Diane or Erika). As if! I doubt he'd have luck romancing a shoe let alone the woman wearing it. Yet...I can heaer the pitter-patter of webbed feet...Sir Chilliam... Can we fastforward the rest of the season and have two weeks of Big Brother Deathmatch instead...in a ring and everything?!? Id like to see Janelle-Erika tag team versus tag-teamed by Danielle-Alison. Heck yeah, i'd go for that...and Gizztown get whooped by Jase-Howie. Mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha...
	Monica 9/4/06 5:16 pm What did I tell y’all about “Love TKO?” Seems like that was the theme of last night’s episode. The lyrics sure do fit the script – check out this verse: Thinking back over my years I guess I shedded some tears Told myself time and time again 'This time I'm gonna win' But in every fight things ain't right, losin' again Takes a fool to lose twice, start all over again Ummm... I didn’t know if I was watching a reality show or a soap opera. Yeah, I know sometimes it is hard to tell them apart. But the flirtmance and homance is not cute. I know they are bored and have too much time on their hands, but I think they are taking it too far and losing focus. The hot tub confessions looked like a scene from “Degrassi.” Are they reliving their teens? I understand they are all playing different roles, but I feel the baby talk with Boogie is way over the top. Erika better check herself before she wrecks herself. When it is all over she can’t get upset over how it played out. She made the choice to play the game in this manner. The same goes for Boogie, Will and Janelle – they all decided to play this way and will have to face the consequences soon enough. I do hope Erika and Janelle took a page out of the playa’s handbook. Then Will and Mike will realize they aren't the only playas in the house...Playa, Playa
	Jack 9/4/06 9:03 am I've a sense of what the Birmingham street thinks of the final four in the BB7 All Stars. People approach me at the gym, the Piggly Wiggly, champagne brunch at the Five Points Grill, football games, traffic lights when the top is back on my Miata, used book stores, strolling my infant granddaughter Mary Helen, coffee shops, theater lobbies, the post office, the security line at the airport, and a video rentals where I hunt down Steve McQueen or Uma Thurman. People tell me that the men left in the House are A-Holes, and that the two women are morons. In no particular order. Where do you buy the hats that Boogie wears? You know, the hats with the bills turned sideways? I've looked everywhere. Imagine this ditty written on the wall of the mens room at the truck stop at Exit 100 off I-59 between Birmingham and Tuscaloosa: "Hickory, dickory, dock, who will clock the Doc? Dana or Monica I pray. They're not in the game you say. Hickory, dickory, WHY NOT?"
	Monica 9/3/06 7:24 pm Ok, now the party has officially started. That’s what Thursday’s show seemed like - a non-stop party getting ready to spin out of control. I wasn't surprised by the evictions, just a little sad for the Chicken Man. He was in and out of the nomination chair like a game of musical chairs. I have to give him his props because he got so far and played the game with class. I enjoyed seeing his costumes each week. He made his time in the house fun for himself and for the viewers. Some of the other houseguests should have done the same thing - have fun, stop complaining, and stop acting as if the world was going to end if they didn't stay in the house. He really did try his best in each comp. No one else was willing to shave their head (except for Kaysar) or eat slop for 3 months. George is definitely an all-star in my book. Boogie seemed a bit nervous to me when he was nominated – like he really thought he might go to sequester. Did he fear that Will would put the bait and switch move on him, or that the puppet master didn't need the apprentice anymore? You never know with Will. But he did come through at the end. Then there were 4. Now it's the heavyweights versus the featherweights. Lets see who gets taken out by a TKO. Or, should I say “Love TKO” as in the soul ballad by Teddy Pendergrass. Everyone in that house is in for more surprises and when it's all said and done they are going to need more than some wine. I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it. They are about to lose control and I think I like it.
	Jun 9/2/06 5:50 pm As if it wasn't bad enough that Gizztown was a cheesy place to be...now it's mayor and his deputy are declaring war on the women psyche. Poor Erika...she's ready to hang up her dog leashes for a pretty baby stroller...little does she know that Booger's incapable of sincerity until September 13th.
	Jack 9/1/06 1:54 pm Dana, as in Season 4, you would KNOT have been denied in the live show POV rope adventure. Let's see now. Erika knows that Janelle is being played by Will. Janelle is aware that Boogie is playing Erika. Have Erika and Janelle compared notes? Hell no! Even if they don't put their heads together, why do Janelle and Erika not believe their own eyes? Will and Boogie drip with arrogance and condescension, obviously playing only for each other. While pulling for Erika and applauding the maneuvers and wins that have again propelled her into the final four, I despair that she plays for Chill Town instead of herself. Moreover, Janelle has won HOH four times! Incredibly, she does the bidding of winless Will. Two accomplished, resolute, and stylish women have rolled over for a pair of thumb sucking, pre-pubescent mama's boys. When the eagles are silent, the parrots begin to jabber. The last sounds you hear in the BB7 House will be the jabbering of parrots Will and Boogie awaiting the verdict of the jury. I'm sequestered in a very bad dream.
	Jun 9/1/06 1:03 pm For anyone who's gotten into the top/final 4...this is one of the MOST UNEASY weeks to go through because the only real safe person is the HOH. Depending on who is put up/wins POV/has the sole vote, ANYTHING can happen. On BB4, luckily for me Ali (who's comparable to Janelle) got to be the bad guy and evict Erika... I'm really really looking forward to walls coming down and gtting down to the bare bones of who's really got what it takes to cash in on the prize money...
	Jun 8/31/06 9:19 pm DAMN Erika and her man-hands! I am VERY unhappy that she won't be re-united with Danielle. I REALLY think there would have been a fight backstage. Did you see Danielle with Vaseline all over her face and her hair slicked back? She was ready to kick Erika where it hurts! Hahahaha...okay...I MUST give Erika props for being "knots" about veto or whatever Chenk (sorry, that's a typo) said. Nice work. Jack...admit it, you got really excited didn't you? I can't believe Chicken George is gone. Can I officially adopt him on eBay or something? Like for a week? I didn't like his exit interview after the eviction though. George should have been like "Um, you're an anchor on a major morning show, you married well...yet you still dress like my sofa back in '72" If we thought Three's Company...my, my, my, Four's Company this week in the Big Brother House. I hate it because they got their cake and now they're nibbling away like rats...let's take away their cake! Hahaha...this show isn't Ex-Factor...but nor is it All-Stars...it's Showmance. It's good to see CBS is spending good money. Wow! Doogie Howser on Tuesday and The Colonel tonight! That's like fantastic!
