Everytime Mike does a DR, I cringe. He is just loathesome and vile and he thinks he's all that. And the sad part is? He's getting everything that he wants. I absolutely hate it. But I did, however, get a kick out of the Frank/Mike/Ian DR. That was hilarious.

Danielle is crazy, yet she sounds so calm and level headed in the DR. Why is that? And production needs to stop promoting Shane and Danielle. It's not gonna happen, guys.

Silent Six? Really? The Quack Pack sounds better than the Silent Six.

I'm kind of hoping for a Dan/Ian final 2. Even though Dan has made really stupid moves regarding trusting Mike, I still really like him and he seems to be the only coach that likes Ian. No amount of Mike cheering in the veto will make me believe that he gives a shit about the kid. And I absolutely love that Ian took the dog punishment and he actually told Mike that he's not going to get greedy. And I'm sure if Jenn had won the dog punishment and Ian won the vacation, he would have traded it with Jenn, not just because of him wanting to get the full BB experience, but because he'd want someone else to take the expensive trip, someone that needs it more. That kid is just so...gah! I'll be pissed if/when Frank and Mike try to get rid of him.

I'm very pleased that I had my full hearing tonight. I just came back from the audiologist today and was afraid I would have to go back because of Joe. But did Joe and Ashley even speak tonight?

So, Janelle gets blindsided. I really hope that somehow, Frank gets evicted so Mike's smile can wipe right off his face, Danielle and Britney can be pissed (loved Dan's DR about the girls playing emotionally, BTW) and the whole house can erupt in full panic mode when Janelle gets her revenge.

[StinkPill]

I did like Frank and Ian's attitudes regarding their punishments. Tickle monster!!! Brittany really does have the funniest, snarkiest, DR's. I can't really disagree with her statement about Jenn though.

[steve91199]

BB this season seems to be so determined to stick to pre-planned stories that they end up seeming like heavily spliced answering machine messages by the time the episodes air. The Danielle on the show bears little to no resemblance to the Danielle on the feeds. I am going to be generous and assume that they don't want another situation like last year where Shelley and her family got threats (although from what I've heard at other boards and from Jun Song's Youtube channel, Dan's wife has already been getting threats).

I think Janelle was respected, or even loved, by a long-ago era of BB. She's changed, but BB has also changed. There seems to be none of the effort they used to make with Janelle, making sure she played in a comp, or the DR trying to tip her off.

This wouldn't bother me if they were not making these efforts for Boogie and Frank. I just don't get it with Frank. I hate the DRs. They're so forced. You know Will Kirby is watching and cringing. Or he would be if he could still move his face.

Eh. I hate when people critize someone for laying back when it's a strategy that works. Jenn's almost guaranteed the final five. And compare her to Britney who really hasn't done more but just happened to be in a power situation because her newbies won some comps.

Good point. If Jenn makes it to final 5 that would be awesome. I have been a fan of her for years now, so i'm very partial to her. Ian is adorable, Danielle is freaking clueless!! Shane did look fine in his uniform though. I think someone on here said that Boogie looked like Lady Elaine Fairchilde, that is who I see when Boogie is on screen. So I laugh a little.

[Plethora]

I thought Dan's DRs would clue me into what he was thinking by going with Boogie, but it came down to "Janelle didn't respond so therefore she's a liar and we can't have any of those in the Big Brother House!". Like what? Do you think that Janelle being gone is going to stop Wil/Ashley/Joe from putting you on the block? I just don't get it, and what are you going to do about Frank and Boogie? Hope someone else takes care of them for you? If I'm Boogie and Frank I'm making a deal with Ian/Jenn and Team Janelle minus Janelle and telling them them the other 4 Shane/Brit/Dan/Crazy have a final 4 deal and they are working together to the end. So its better to target them and not us, we wanna help you guys, we don't like them. The people in the house would believe them.

I just don't get this at all. He's betting on the word of Mike Boogie. Think about that.

[interestedg]

I never liked Janelle any season. I hope she goes. She thinks she is better than she is but she is better at riding than driving. She did well 2 times by latching to the right people. She is the oldest woman in the house. She showed her hand when she wanted her ex-teammates to go later but Mike's to go now. I did not like Britany's fake surprise look when Janelle got nominated.

I did not think I would say this but for now I want Jenn to win. She has not shown to be a liar but I think she owns what she does, which hasn't been much. I would like Joe to go next, then Britney, Shane or Ian. I thought I would like Shane but he is lettiung others tell hum what to do. And Ian acts to scared to play.

I know they all lie, but Mike is the only coach who did not want to come in the game. Dan told he voted to come in so I respect him for that. I like him better so far than I did his seasom. But Janelle & Britany lied. I like players who are not running scared. I wish Julie would have announced the votes. It would have nade an intersting few weeks
I like gutsy players. It is ok with me, so far, if Dan is in the final group.

[CassandraRedux]

Woof.

After the nightmare she and Will caused production during All Stars I'm not surprised.

Do you think that Janelle being gone is going to stop Wil/Ashley/Joe from putting you on the block?

Actually, you might want to hold on to that thought.

[hoosier]

Ian couldn't be cuter. OH! Except in a puppy costume. Too adorable.

[qeratify]

I didn't get it either. Janelle isn't coming for Dan or Britney. It's like everyone wants to be safe with everyone in the house, it doesn't work that way. Someone has to be evicted every week. Janelle's likely eviction just lost a potential jury vote for a coach, as well as increased the target on their backs.

[Dolphincorn]

She is the oldest woman in the house. She showed her hand when she wanted her ex-teammates to go later but Mike's to go now. I did not like Britany's fake surprise look when Janelle got nominated.

So, does being the oldest woman in the house provide the rationale to target her?

Mike wanted her player to go first. Janelle wanted Frank's player to go first. It was a tie. Britney and Dan sided with one of the players that didn't want to give an inch, and it was Boogie. Janelle wasn't going to have the final decision in either case.

[Macenlu]

Agreed. Danielle is getting a very favorable edit, and this makes sense as to why. Or, they are so heavily invested in the bullshit showmance that they are now forced to edit out all the crazy from the Danielle footage. If that's the case, as the season goes on her heavily edited footage on the show is going start to look as choppy as a Max Headroom ep. (hey-o to my fellow oldies who get that 80s reference).

Must admit I also liked the Boogie DR with the team. It was pretty funny.

[Happenstance]

Mike wanted her player to go first. Janelle wanted Frank's player to go first. It was a tie. Britney and Dan sided with one of the players that didn't want to give an inch, and it was Boogie. Janelle wasn't going to have the final decision in either case.

But Janie came off sketchy there. She was asked to sacrifice Joe to keep her strongest player Wil. She hesitated for 10 seconds before agreeing. That looked bad. I guess someone could make the argument she already had 1 of her players on the block already so why nominate a second but that argument falls apart when you take into account only 1 person was going home and she wouldn't be blamed for it in any way. Plus Dan and the others have no idea where Joe and Wil's loyalties really lie. I completely understand this move. It buys Dan a few more weeks with bigger fish in the house to fry. If Dan sticks with Boogie long term though, it IS stupid. I'm sure he knows that though.

[jessied112]

"I thought, as a coach, I had assembled the perfect team. I had drafted the Brawns and the Brain. And now..."
*camera pulls back to Frank and Ian*
"Go team."
"...Woof."

Best DR I've seen this season. Their facial expressions are priceless.

The best part of that was Mike's puppy paw hat.

[Holliday]

Man, I love me some Boogie. Love.

Okay, I'm going to go take a shower now.

[Bob1965]

I did not like Britany's fake surprise look when Janelle got nominated.

Yeah, I noticed that too. But I don't really blame her that much. Just in case Janelle manages to wiggle out of this...

.

This is the first I've heard about any threats. Would you elaborate please? Thanks.

Add me to those who didn't like the look of utter surprise on Britney's face when Janelle got put up. I don't like Britney at all. When she's "coaching" and giving advice, she reminds me of a kid playing grown-up. I wish they'd blindside HER! (after boogie, of course)

[Unconditional]

Over the years people have *constantly* tried to undersell Boogie's gameplay but he's pretty much showing everyone right now exactly how good he is. Winning All-Stars wasn't a fluke, and it's not luck that he's getting by week to week despite being tied to a guy that everyone inexplicably wants out of the house before Shane.

I hope he and Dan can go all the way. I'd love to see someone win a second time, and I think the only way that's possible is if they end up in the F2 together.

[ProfCrash]

I love that Mike went to Ian's dog house to check if Ian had to go to the bathroom. I loved it even more that he was embarrassed that he was on a show that put him in the position of asking a grown adult if he needed to be walked inside on a leash in order to go to the bathroom. You could tell from the way he asked Ian that Mike thought the whole dog thing was just all sorts of stupid.

[Rosebud1970]

Danielle is one of the stupidest, if not the stupidest hamster I've seen playing the game in the longest. Have you ever met Boogie, Sweetheart? When he doesn't need you anymore (next week when you have no power) he'll drop you like a bad habit. He's all about Bros Before Hos. It's his Holy Mantra.

And Boogie. Ah, Boogie. I hate him with the power of a thousand white hot suns. He and his ugly face (and soul) can go and disgrace some other scene. The sooner he's gone, the better. Fie on you! Begone, troll! Actually, if he were green, he'd resemble Margaret Hamilton in the Wizard of Oz. Somebody fetch a pail of water, quick!

[JudyObscure]

What I like best about Janelle's potential blindside is that it starts the ball rolling on getting the coaches out of the game. I think the Newbs were a little bit afraid of going against them but once they see Janelle walk out the door they will be better able to visualize Boogie doing the same thing.

Ian is my favorite so I was happy to see him making friends outside of the Boogie/Frank bromance. I say "friends," because I think the Silent Six is really too large to truly be an alliance. In fact I laughed out loud to hear someone say, "This is the final six right here!"

I don't watch the feeds and I still don't like Danielle, even with what's being called a good edit. It's sad, and a little creepy, to see a grown woman crush on a guy who isn't responding.

[steve91199]

With Shelley, or with Dan? The Shelley stuff was detailed last year. I'm not sure about Dan, but Jun mentions it here, about 12 minutes in. (that video is NSFW and has feed talk).

Over the years people have *constantly* tried to undersell Boogie's gameplay but he's pretty much showing everyone right now exactly how good he is. Winning All-Stars wasn't a fluke, and it's not luck that he's getting by week to week despite being tied to a guy that everyone inexplicably wants out of the house before Shane.

Boogie's game is a game which is difficult to edit into a TV show, because he knows these people outside of BB and in some cases they may have business ties (or he offers them business ties). He works with what he has, and he's also a very smooth talker when he makes the effort. I'm frustrated because I feel like he is playing for Frank to win, and I don't believe Frank has earned a win, in any way.

I'm also confused about why Boogie was wearing Blossom's hat in one of the DR scenes last night. Is Mayim Biaylik going to stop by BB to show him some support now that she's had to shill for Colton on Survivor?

[cmaybur]

Quack Pack!

[JayeEmm]

Ian FTMF'ingW! The kid is endearing in his complete socially awkward wackiness, which is more than I can say for any other hamster in the past - I can't remember when. I think he's actually enjoying the BB dog house - somehow that's adorable. I loved the "I don't want to get greedy!" to Boogie, possibly the greediest player ever. Team Ian.

[Way Wes Jr]

I don't like Mike. That being said, the brains and brawn DR was fantastic. (Though I bet it was written by production.)

And steve91199, I don't know if I should thank you or shake my fist in the air Jon Stewart style, but I've watched two minutes of that Jun Dishes ep., and I think I'm hooked. (She's one of my fav's, and the usual house-hatred of "floaters" is completely aimed at her and whomever the second place of that season was. I blocked blondies name on purpose, don't remind me. And yes, I think the "floater" hatred is production related also.)

Hmmm, I'm not sure I agree with that. I don't remember him doing anything memorable in Season 2, and without the puppetmaster Dr. Will dragging him to the end in All-Stars, I don't think he would have gone very far there either. Of course he'll tell you that he's the greatest to ever play the game because he won All-Stars, but it was the best player ever that GAVE him the win. The game belonged to Will, but his mission that season was to get the win for Boogie. IMO Mike Boogie is one of the most vile, ugly inside and out, mysogynists to ever play the game.

[Luv2Soap]

I watch the coaches meeting live. I remember thinking WTF just happened here. Dan can't really be buying Boogies bs. I'm convinced Dan and Boogie had some sort of deal before the show that for some reason Dan wants to honor.

Jenell may have came off sketchy but both her and Boogie had a player on the block. It was a stalemate and either Frank or Wil could have gone. I have no doubt Janell would lose any of her players to further herself in the game. Boogie would never lose Frank. Hence Dan's quandary. Go with Boogie or Janell.

JMPO Dan bet on the wrong horse. Janell wanted to work with Dan. She and Dan as a team would have been pure awesome. Boogie and Frank are just too committed with each other which makes them dangerous.

Plus what is the worse that could have happened if Frank left? Boogie goes after the coaches with Jenn, Ashley, Wil and Joe. Yeah. I'm shaking in my boots at that motley crew.

parisprincess I could not have said it better myself.

I agree. He was unquestionably the second best player on BB7. He is certainly gross, but he understands the value of patience in this game. He's also learned Will's technique of telling someone exactly what they want to hear. BB is full of egos, and one can ride them a long way if one knows the technique.

Mike played the coach meeting just right. It's safe to say that his primary goal was getting Janelle nominated. He planted a few seeds before the meeting. And, his proposition to Janelle was perfectly done since he can effectively spin any answer to his desired result. If (as she did) she balks at booting one of her former team, then Mike can claim that she doesn't want to work with coaches. If she's a go for booting one of hers, just wait for her to leave and then say, "Look at how quickly she flips on allies. We can't trust her." Either way, no one trusts Janelle.

I think this strategy of confronting Janelle about her former team is very similar to the "parachutes" argument that Mike and Will used to initiate the breakup of S6 during BB7.

Dan is very shrewd.
I don't think for a minute he buys into Boogies' BS. BUT, Boogie will certainly get Dan further in the game than Janelle would.

Personally, I never got the Janelle love to start with, but ITA that she does seem like a different person/player than the last few times we saw her.

Totally rooting for a Dan/Ian final two. I've been a fan of Dan's since he was first on, and I'm totally finding Ian adorably clueless!

IMO Mike Boogie is one of the most vile, ugly inside and out, mysogynists to ever play the game.

Agreed and seconded.
And Frank? Can get off my TV screen anytime now. HATE!
