The “HOH” is still up for grabs as an endurance competition began on Thursday and did not end as the show went off the air. So tonight..we will see who becomes “HOH” and who that person nominates for eviction as well. So lets get to it!

‘Big Brother 7: All-Stars’ – Episode 13 (8/6/06)

All the houseguests are in this spider web thing, made of ropes, up in the air. The object is to stay on there longer than anyone else. Erika says that being nominated last week made her realize that she is never safe in this house. So she wants to win this “HOH” competition. Here comes some shaving cream or some kind of crap that is used as “spider food” or whatever. Marcellas whines about that stuff ruining another belt of his. The spider web keeps rotating and stuff, but it’s not that hard to stay on there.

Now we go back and get clips of Diane leaving the house. James said that Diane was not a threat to him or Janelle. Janelle was stupid for putting up Diane says James. Danielle liked Diane and is upset. She said Diane got “backdoored” out of the house. Marcellas almost cried when Diane left. He said Janelle’s move was a “gross misuse of power”. Erika was sad to see Diane leave as well, but happy she gets to stay. Janelle was sad as well. Diane had hard feelings against her and she didn’t want that. It was nothing personal says Janelle. She doesn’t think Diane will ever forgive her. Will doesn’t know why everyone is so sad. Everyone except one person will be going home. He reminds everyone that this is just a game.

Now we get a funny segment where we learn that Howie has earned the nickname..”Big Boy”..while in the house. It starts with a “Big Boy likes spider sperm” chant and jokes from James, Howie, and Will. George says that Howie can eat some food. He has a gained a lot of weight, but he really doesn’t look it. He eats and eats and eats. George made him four Philly Steak sandwiches. Howie can eat a lot over a couple of hours. “Big Boy likes fries!” Howie says that Will is jealous of his eating ability. He says Will is so skinny. Howie is going to make some “Big Boy” t-shirts to sell. Danielle finally sits down with Howie and warns him about his eating habits in the house.

Back to the “HOH” competition, and Will decides to let go of the web and he is the first one gone. He wanted to get one of the five eggs that were waiting for the houseguests. Three of these eggs have prizes, while two have nothing but rotten stuff in them. Will gets a rotten egg! Danielle wants everyone to agree that whoever gets the “no slop for a week” egg..they should then give it to George. They seem to agree with that. Will really wanted to talk to Janelle alone to solidify their relationship. Janelle wonders if everyone is still mad at her. Will says no. Will says that he and Mike will protect Janelle and Howie until the end. He also says it’s stupid to sit up on a web for 5 hours and get nothing to show for it.

Danielle says the web keeps changing. She doesn’t want another “BB6” person to win “HOH” this week. At the two hour mark, Janelle comes out to tell them that they have to switch things up. They now have to climb underneath the web and only hang onto it using their arms and legs. This is how I thought it should be from the beginning. Because above the web is WAY too easy! As people start to adjust..James is the first one to lose his grip. He is hanging on with his hands and his feet almost touch the ground. Cliffhanger! Time for our first break!

Commercial Break…

We come back and James swings back up to grab the web with his legs. Will and Janelle sit on the sidelines and watch. Will suggests that people start going after some eggs. They have a 3/4 chance of getting a prize. James decides he is safe if any of these people win, so he is out at 2 hours and 10 minutes. James opens his egg and he gets to “nullify an eviction vote” at some time later in the game.

Will is impressed that George is hanging in there. Mike is the next to get tired and he lets go with a giant scream! Kaysar then falls right after him. Danielle is happy about that since Howie is the only “BB6” person left. Mike opens his egg and gets $10,000! Mike doesn’t celebrate, though, as he “acts” like he doesn’t want the money. Kaysar opens his egg and it’s rotten. So the next person out gets the “no slop for a week” prize. Everyone tells George to drop out and get it. But he doesn’t. He wants to be “HOH”! Besides..everyone else said they would give it to him anyways. Why would he drop out if he gets it anyways? Ever think about that guys?!

Marcellas is the next to drop out at 2 hours and 25 minutes. He was hurting and he fell down. He was mad at himself for dropping out. He kicks his egg around a bit, but he is happy about the “no slop” pass.

George falls out at 2 hours and 25 minutes. That means that Danielle, Erika, and Howie are the only ones left. Howie is sweating a lot. The ropes are digging into his arms. James again says he is “safe” with everyone up there. Danielle whines some more. She says she is going to drop out, but changes her mind in mid-air. She reaches back up and she is still in this thing. Howie knows his number is up. Erika looks comfortable up in the web. Danielle urges Howie to let go.

Now we get the usual “am I safe if I drop out of the competition now?” speech. Danielle and Erika both say that Howie is safe this week if he lets go. Howie does, eventhough Will and everyone else tell him not to, and he is out. That leaves Erika and Danielle. Erika SHOULD have won this thing. But she gives the “HOH” to Danielle after Danielle said she wanted it. Danielle is the new “HOH”! She celebrates like crazy, but doesn’t even give Erika love afterwards. What?! Too excited..I guess. But that’s just wrong.

Now we have a new alliance to talk about. James gives his congrats to Danielle afterwards and they seem to have an alliance called the “Legion of Doom”. Erika seems to be with them as well. I guess this is the “floater” alliance. Mike loves that Danielle is the “HOH”. He calls Danielle the “black widow”. James and Mike quietly talk to each other and they both love the fact that “BB6” didn’t win again. We get a sad looking Janelle before we take another break!

Commercial Break…

We come back and Will hurt his back when he picked up Mike, when Mike won the “POV” competition last Tuesday. He is not healing that well. Kaysar decides he can fix it. He saw this on TV, which is pretty funny! The way he explains it! It’s like one of those “Holiday Inn” commercials! Kaysar says it’s weird, though, as Will is half naked and Kaysar is twisting Will up like a pretzel. Danielle’s turn now. She says will has a hump on his back.

James, Janelle, Kaysar, and Howie all talk now. Howie wants to know if any of them will be going up on the block this week. James says that Howie is safe since Danielle said he was. James believes he is safe and there is no way that Danielle would put up Kaysar. That just leaves Janelle. James says that the “floaters” are after them this week since Janelle put them up last week. Janelle doesn’t seem to understand that. James thinks Marcellas could go up with Janelle. Janelle thinks she has the votes to stay if that happens, though. James calls Janelle “the dumbest person to ever play this game” after that comment!

Time to see Danielle’s “HOH” room. This is a lot better than Janelle’s pink room last week. We see pictures of Danielle’s family. Everyone seems to like her room. Danielle’s mom writes a letter to her. The usual stuff..love and kisses, we’re proud of you, etc. George liked that Danielle won and she had a family, like him, that she cared about.

It’s now time for the…wait…nope..they all get to eat pizza! No time for a competition! Everyone except George. George is laying down, while everyone eats. Marcellas gives in and goes to give George the “no slop” pass. George doesn’t want to take it, though. He wants Marcellas to keep it. Marcellas says..off-camera..that he didn’t want to give George the pass in the first place, but he looked so sad. So on-camera he tells George that he wouldn’t have gave the pass to George if he didn’t mean it. George finally takes it and gets to eat pizza too! This means a lot to him.

Danielle and James talk. Danielle tells James that she is putting James up. James is mad and doesn’t understand. It’s too risky. Danielle thinks that James can compete against Janelle and win the “Power of Veto”, since he is the “veto king”. And their alliance won’t be obvious if she puts up James. James said he could easily go home, though. He doesn’t like this at all, but her mind seems to be made up! She says that James has the votes to stay, if he doesn’t win the “POV”. He’s safe. James says he needs to think about it as we take another break!

Commercial Break…

Danielle now talks to Marcellas to see what he thinks she should do. He would go Kaysar and Janelle. Marcellas says that Janelle is more of a threat to Danielle than any of the other “BB6” people. Marcellas thinks Kaysar is a “mastermind” and doesn’t like the way Janelle is playing the game right now. That’s his reasons. Danielle thought Marcellas and Janelle were friends. Marcellas just threw Janelle in the middle of the road for a truck to hit her! Marcellas says that James is more useful for them down the road. So keep him around. He doesn’t care as long as one of the “BB6” people goes home. Marcellas has her back, though.

Danielle now talks to Kaysar. She wants to know what he thinks. Danielle knows that whatever Kaysar does is nothing personal. It’s for strategy only. She likes that about him. Danielle asks Kaysar if either Janelle or himself had a deal with “Chill Town II”? Kaysar says no. Danielle wanted Kaysar to explain to her why Janelle did want she did last week. Kaysar can’t really explain it, though. She says that the only people she knows that aren’t lying is herself and Kaysar. Kaysar says that James says that he and Danielle are the best of friends. Danielle denies that. Danielle says she makes decisions that are best for her. Danielle appreciates Kaysar’s love for the game. She doesn’t know if she can trust him, though. Time for our last break!

Commercial Break…

Danielle thinks about the nominations. Janelle thinks she and Kaysar are going up. Marcellas doesn’t trust Danielle..100%. He knows better than to trust her. Kaysar doesn’t know what she is going to do. Danielle says that the only alliance she has is with herself. James is sure he is going up, since Danielle said she would do that. Will says he could go up any week and is ready for it.

It’s now time for the “Nomination Ceremony”! Danielle said that her decision this week was based on what happened the previous week. She was concerned for her safety. Danielle pulls the first key and it’s Erika. Erika pulls Howie’s key. Howie gets George. George takes out Mike. Mike pulls out Marcellas’ key. Marcellas takes Will out of the box. And the final key belongs to Kaysar! So that means James and Janelle are going up for eviction! She said she is not here for other people to do her dirty work. She wanted to put up the two toughest people from “BB6” against each other to compete for the “Power of Veto”. This is a good acting job, but a great acting job goes to James, who appears to be hurt and upset over being nominated!

Final comments now! Janelle is very surprised that James got nominated. She thinks James was really upset and hopes it’s not an act. James says that he was acting, of course! It’s risky, but if it gets Janelle out..then good. If he can’t trust Danielle, he is alone. Danielle says she wants Janelle out of the house! James is a great competitor and she needs him to make sure that Janelle doesn’t win the veto. Mike says that James said that he hoped he could trust Will and Mike. Mike has the last line and the line of the night with “It’s hard to trust villians, especially when you’re a villian yourself!”

And that’s all for the Sunday show this week! See you next time!

I'm not embarrassed to say that my favorite television show of all-time is The O.C. I live by the motto "you can't fight fate!" More importantly, I watch WAY too much television, but I do so for the benefit of everyone reading this now. So to my mom and my wife, I say thanks for reading! To everyone else that might stumble across this, remember TiVo should be your best friend!
