So Erika is the new “HOH” or is she? She won the competition on Thursday night, but apparently there were problems with that game. The buzzers didn’t work right, so the rumor is that the game will be played again tonight and a NEW “HOH” will be crowned! Who will it be and who will be put up for eviction? Find out now!!

‘Big Brother 7: All-Stars’ – Episode 16 (8/13/06)

We start off with clips of Kaysar getting evicted from the house on Thursday. Basically, James, Janelle, and George all say the same thing. It sucked to see Kaysar go and they almost cried, since he was such a great guy. Janelle also knows that she is the target now since Kaysar is gone. Mike is happy that Kaysar is gone. He’s a good guy, though, and he would be tough to beat in the end says Mike.

James talks about Howie and Janelle trying to vote him out of the house. He says that shows where his “alliance” stands. Well..that’s just plain dumb. Of course, they will vote to keep Kaysar. They were more loyal to him in Season 6..remember? Danielle hopes Kaysar understands that it’s just a game and this was nothing personal. Erika cries like a baby, since Kaysar made her forget about this game while he was here. Yeah..but you still voted for him to go! I don’t care, if your vote wouldn’t matter. You still should have voted to keep him, if you cared that much about him.

Janelle tells Will that George promised Kaysar that he wouldn’t vote him out, which is not true. I blame that on Kaysar, though, because I heard him go tell Janelle that George said he could never vote out Kaysar. Well..we get the clip right here that says otherwise. George says he can’t say what he is going to do, but he does like Kaysar. Janelle tries to play this as George being a liar, which is not true as I said. However, I do want George out of the house so whatever works.

Now we gets clips of the “HOH” competition and we see various clips of people having trouble with their buzzers. Mike, James, and Howie all have problems. Mike doesn’t say anything, since he liked Erika being the “HOH”. Howie complains the loudest. He says he was the fastest person to hit that buzzer, which the clips show to be true. James also had to hit the buzzer twice on the same question. Marcellas said he had trouble as well.

Everyone is back inside the house and the big voice of a producer comes over the speakers. The voice tells everyone that there were “technical problems” with the “HOH” game. And since they want to be fair to everyone, they really have to play this game over. They are sorry to Erika, but it has to be fair. Erika understands, and so they have to play the game again. Mike says that everyone who was with Erika didn’t like it, but they want to be fair..so they do it again.

This time the “HOH” competition used the old..”spin the wheel..A or B” type of game. And let me tell you..Julie Chen is really getting annoying through this whole series of events. Now I REALLY see why people don’t really like her. Here are the quick results of the competition. After the first round, George and Will are out. After the next round, Erika, Howie, and Marcellas are out. That leaves Janelle, James, and Mike. James it out after the next round and it’s Mike and Janelle. It’s time for a break before we find out who wins, though!!

Commercial Break…

We come back and guess who wins “HOH”?! Yep..it’s Janelle! No one is happy except Howie. Janelle is “HOH” for a third time! Janelle says that no one wants her to be here, but she is “here to crush dreams”. Marcellas is not happy and says that Janelle and Howie are poor sports. Erika and Danielle can’t believe it. They say Janelle is lucky. They also know that Janelle HAD to get “HOH” this week, since she couldn’t play for the “POV” this week. She would be going home, if she didn’t win “HOH”. Danielle says that if she keeps winning, you have to give her the money in the end.

James gives it up for Janelle as well. She is a great player..no doubt. Janelle and Howie talk about putting up Erika and Danielle. They are sending them home. James is happy to have Janelle on his side for now. That’s pretty funny actually. He wants Janelle to put up Marcellas. Janelle won’t do it, though. Janelle says that Erika and Danielle are working together more than Marcellas and them.

Marcellas says he feels sorry for Erika, since she wanted “HOH” so bad. Right..well last week..she GAVE IT AWAY to Danielle! So obviously..she doesn’t want it that bad.

Now we get clips of Julie telling the houseguests about the new “power” they can play for. It’s called the “Coup d’Etat”, and whoever wins that power can overthrow the current “HOH” and put up their own two nominees for eviction just before the voting begins over the next three weeks. The only person that knows what this “power” really is..is the person who wins it. Marcellas wonders what it is and he thinks it has to be a big “power”. They only get one guess on what the phrase is. It’s something relating to the ‘Big Brother’ game. They get clues along the way.

The first clue is a sheep or a lamb or something with wool. Everyone likes that. Now..James thinks the winning phrase might be “Pull the wool over someone’s eyes?”. Danielle thinks it has to do with a sheep named Dolly that got cloned a few years back. They cloned the sheep’s DNA, and DNA meant “Do Not Assume” on a season of ‘Big Brother’. I think it was Season 5. Danielle, James, and Erika all take a guess. Erika and Daniell go with the DNA answer, while James goes with the wool. George has a guess now. His guess is crazy. “You are expected to expect, the unexpected”. This came from the name of a female lamb or something.

James goes to tell Janelle and Howie what his guess was and Janelle and Howie have NEVER head of that expression ever! That is just crazy too! They must be retarded! James finds it ironic, though.

Meanwhile, Will is taking a bath in the kitchen sink since it is the only place with hot water. This leads to him spraying down Janelle with the water hose attached to the sink. They’re getting wet and wild!!

Mike talks to James. He wants Janelle to put up Marcellas and Danielle, so that they could maybe save Danielle. James says she won’t put up Marcellas, though. James will try to change Janelle’s mind. He needs Danielle to stick around, since she is stronger than Marcellas. He needs strong allies to eventually go up against Janelle near the end.

Commercial Break…

It’s now time for the “Food Competition”! This competition is like ‘Iron Chef America’. The houseguests get into teams and attempt to make 7 dishes that use “slop” in them. There are 3 special judges that will judge each dish and if that dish scores high enough..the houseguests get to eat that day. The 3 judges are Jun from ‘Big Brother 4’, Marvin from ‘Big Brother 5’, and Nicole from ‘Big Brother 2’. Each judge will score the dish from 1-5. If the total score for each dish is 10 or higher, they get to eat that day. If it’s 9 or less, they have to eat “slop” for that day! If they get a perfect score of 15 on any dish, they get to have a BBQ cookout for that day!

They have one hour to do this. Here is what they came up with. For Monday, Janelle made “Slop Crisp w/ Vanilla Ice Cream”. Marvin likes it a lot. For Tuesday, Erika made “Slopfredo”. The judges said it’s good, but not enough “slop” in it. For Wednesday, Danielle made “A Trio of Pan Fried Slopcakes w/ Confetti Vegetables”. They didn’t like this at all. Marvin called it “low-grade dog food”. Too much chewing involved. For Thursday, Will and George made “All-Star Cupcake Medley”. Will says Nicole didn’t like it, just because of their history. For Friday, Janelle made “Slop Slow Roast Pasta”. Another winner from Janelle! For Saturday, Danielle made “Sloptactular All-Star Burritos”. This goes much better for Danielle. And for Sunday, Marcellas and Janelle made “Slawaffles”, which is waffles made from “slop” batter. The scores get revealed now and the only day and dish that didn’t win was Wednesday and Danielle’s “Slopcakes”. Funny spot where Howie cheers for “slop” with this confused look on his face. They also get a BBQ on Sunday, since the “Slawaffles” got a perfect score! Everyone is happy with only one day of slop. Time for another break!

Commercial Break…

Will comes to talk to Howie and Janelle about who to put up. Janelle says that her targets are Erika, Danielle, Marcellas, and George. They are the “floaters”. Janelle insists that Danielle is the leader. Will says that Erika goes back and forth, but thinks that Marcellas is the “cancer of this house”. Howie thinks about who they can beat next week in “HOH”, since Janelle can’t play. Will says that all of them are weak. Will thinks about making a deal with Danielle. But Janelle knows that James is with Danielle and as long as she is still here..James will be more loyal to her. Will NEEDS to keep Danielle here, since he is apart of their “Legion of Doom” alliance with her. Will wants Marcellas gone! Will wonders if Danielle got the “special power” already. Janelle said she would rather Danielle use that “power” to take her out of the game than do nothing and have Danielle still be in the house.

Now we gets some crazy stuff! Will, Mike, Howie, and Janelle pretend to be in a band. Rock & Roll!! They make an actual music video with mops, tennis rackets, wooden spoons, and the shower outside. They all get wet, and Janelle wore high heels since that’s how they did it back in the 1980’s! Slow motion action and we even get Danielle flashing her bra at them as well. Funny stuff with Danielle being amazed that they are all sober while doing this! HAHAHA!

Janelle talks to James now. James tells her to nominate whoever since wants. They both agree that Danielle, Erika, and Marcellas all have to go. James just says that to try and keep Danielle. He makes a final case for Marcellas going up. James wants to go after George as well, but Janelle wants to keep George around since they made need him later. James says they can’t trust George, though. Janelle is set on getting Danielle out of the house. James doesn’t look happy as we take our final break!!

Commercial Break…

Janelle thinks about the nominations now. Erika thinks that Janelle doesn’t like female competition. Marcellas calls Janelle a bitch and doesn’t like the way she is playing the game. She is ugly on the inside says Marcellas. George says it doesn’t look good for the “floaters”. Janelle knows the lines are drawn and they are coming after the “floaters”. However, she doesn’t want to make things personal since some of these people could be coming back to help vote for the final winner at the end. Danielle knows she can’t talk to Janelle and try to save herself. Danielle did it to Janelle last week and she fully expects Janelle to do the same this week.

It’s now time for the “Nomination Ceremony”! Janelle starts off by saying she doesn’t want to take things personal in this game, but when people backstab her when she is not looking..she can’t help but make things personal. She says if you start a war with her, you better be able to finish it. Janelle pulls the first key. It is James. James gets Howie. Howie pulls Marcellas’ key. Marcellas grabs George. George has Will’s key. Will pulls the final key and it’s Mike! That means it’s Danielle and Erika as expected! Janelle nominated Danielle, since she put her up last week. Nothing personal. However, with Erika..Janelle says that she has been playing all sides of the house as a “floater”. She doesn’t like the way Erika is playing the game.

Final comments now! Erika finds it interesting that Janelle thinks she is a “floater”. That’s not true at all! And HOLY COW..Erika reveals that she is with Mike and Will in “Chill Town II”. Janelle said Danielle tried to get her out of the house last week and it didn’t work. So payback time! Danielle says that in war you lose and win battles. She will win this battle, though! She can’t wait to continue this WAR with Janelle!

The credits roll, but we are not done yet. We get a clip of Mike and Erika in bed together. Mike wants a kiss and Erika gives him one! That confirms the fact that Erika is with Will and Mike and we see why now. Yep..that’s your “showmance”..my friends!

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!
