Big Brother All Stars Season Finale Recap for Tivo People
Big Brother All Stars Season Finale Recap for Tivo People by Roxanne McDonald
 |
It’s a surprise for those of you who have yet to watch your Tivo’ed Big Brother All Stars finale, so do not read this SPOILER if you want to keep the outcome a secret from yourself. |
As you probably know, if you are a big fan of the show, Boogie and Erika, the showmance turned homance, are the final two in the BB House.
So, first, I would ask for a moment of silence for the past boy-girl flirtations that ended in the girl getting burned.
The finale began with a five-minute recap of significant moments in BB history. After a shot of Erika and Boogie in formal regalia – Erika in black gown and Mike in derby and matching sport coat – we got a recap of exile island’s last guest: the jury members speculated on who was coming in next, and as he had done before, Marcellas dreaded out loud the arrival of the very person who showed up.
Though Howie and George, agreeing for once, think it’s Boogie, it is in fact Janelle. She appears in red gown with tiara and does a presentation pose that puts showroom spokesmodels to shame.
Janelle explains who did what to whom and says Ericka is a “b-i-t-c-h,” eliciting agreement and much discussion. It is also Janelle who says not to let a floater win, but Danielle, ever the voice of sanity, reminds them that when it is a boy villain he is glamorized but when it’s a girl who’s the villain she is “disgusting”.
Somebody notes how Erika was on the block three times, and though they all had the opportunity to vote her out they didn’t. Dani reminds them that there are no rules about floating, or cheating, or even about being loyal to oneself.
Will speaks for Boogie (uuhv course), saying that he did what he needed to when he rode coattails, won competitions, etc.. (more…)
Big Brother All-Stars Ends and Summer is Officially Over!
Big Brother All-Stars Ends and Summer is Officially Over! by Mike Liebner
Big Brother All Stars has come to a close and in the season finale episode we saw Julie Chen give the big prize to Mike Boogie.
|
Mike Boogie is the guy with all the restaurants whom was also buddys with the Puppet Master, Dr. Delicious, Will of Chill Town. |
Erika not suprisingly was runner up to the strategizing master Boogie and she still claimed a decent prize.
We also saw that America voted to give Janelle $25,000. and she definitely deserved it! In fact I am sure I am not the only one to have wished that Janelle went all the way.
The show itself was a bit on the dry side, as most finale episodes are, but it was a treat to see all the contestants show their faces and gve their impressions of the final two.
Jase and Diane did a Will and Boogie phone conversation rip off and revealed they were Mr. and Mrs. Smith. They apparently had an alliance going into the game. Lot of good it did them! Jase rightly pointed out how Will was the best Big Brother player ever and he certainly is. That is why Mike Boogie is there in the end. (more…)
Big Brother All Stars Janelle Chokes and Boogie Gets Lucky!
Janelle Chokes and Boogie Gets Lucky! by Roxanne McDonald
Big Brother All Stars has given us another twisty surprise on Thursday, September 7, as well as some unexpected sweetness on the part of all three final players.
|
In the DR, Erika expresses pride for Janelle’s move to evict Will, and is jubilant about being one of the remaining three, saying how “sometimes” she loves this game. |
Boogie is of course BUMMED, but he tells the DR cam that the girls did a good job.
He changes his tune and tone, however, once Erika says to him, “checkmate.” Boogie speaks to how the showmance has become a homance and how he has – gruff gruff – used the girls for all the purposes he intended and is done with them and with Erika.
To her face Boogie says, “Smart move, Janelle,” and acknowledges that nobody here could beat Will. He understands, he says, and tells her it “took a lot of guts.” But he is questionably authentic, saying the last compliment with a choked-up throat. (more…)
The Big Brother 7 All Stars Threesome!
The Big Brother 7 All Stars Threesome! by Mike Liebner
OK, here we are at the end of Summer and the feel good show of the season 2006 is coming to a close.
|
Big Brother All-Stars has delivered an interesting series with all kinds of twists and turns.
But Big Brother All-Stars is soon coming to an end. |
We now have 3 contetstants battling it out to be the sole survivor, oops, I mean the big brother winner…
We have Chilltown’s Boogie (boy is he shocked his chill buddy Dr. Will got the boot!)
We have Janelle. Props to the gitrl for redeeming herself. She did me proud when she booted Will despite her letting him manipulate her all season long.
Erika. The way I see it Erika really owes Janelle as she could have easily booted her instead of Doctor Delicious.
So now we last saw them as they were doing the Volcano challenge, but Boogie jumped off early (he is still emotional and falsely belives he is the only choice to bring to the final 2). So Janelle got flustered and took her hand off the key, thereby taking herself out. She denied having removed a hand but the tape is proof. When Boogie made his departure she was shocked and let go. (more…)
Big Brother 7 Chilltown Final 4 All Stars

Will has focused his game all along to make it to these defining moments, though.
In the Diary Room, he boasts that Janelle listens to him because she is in love with him. |
Boogie follows with his own personal statements in the DR, confirming that Will has “done unbelievable work on Janelle.” As Doctor evil adds, starting with a carnival game metaphor, “I had my ducks lined up in a row ….”
Boogie follows with his own personal statements in the DR, confirming that Will has “done unbelievable work on Janelle.” As Doctor evil adds, starting with a carnival game metaphor, “I had my ducks lined up in a row ….” Delicious Doctor Will says he was prepared for the worst, but because of the work he has put in Chilltown has been able to dodge a bullet. Or a bee-bee?
The psycho boys’ return to the simulated phone call, with Boogie ringing up Will, Will saying he doesn’t have the time and that his thumb hurts and asking what the bottom line is, with Boogie saying the bottom line is that they are in the final four: AHHH HAHAHA caps the moment. (more…)
BB7 Allstars should be called Big Brother Extreme
BB7 Allstars should be called Big Brother Extreme by Roxanne McDonald
|
We may as well start calling Big Brother 7 Big Brother Extreme.
In Thursday nights episode the cutthroat gaming REALLY begins. |
After select recap scenes from Tuesday’s episode, Julie Chen announces they are going to play a full week of games in one hour.
(Why the need to speed up already intense procedures? Why so hasty? Getting squeezed out by incoming football season?)
Anyway, good ol’ cheery Chicken George is in the DR, “thinkin’ it will be the week” they throw him out, he jokingly says. He adds that Julie says there will be chicken and beer waiting for him if that’s the case. Remember, he has been on slop for most of the time he has been in the house. (more…)
BB7 Chilltown All Stars have the Ultimate Power
BB7 Chilltown All Stars have the Ultimate Power by Mike Liebner
|
It’s about time that I chime in and give my thoughts on this Summer’s hottest TV show Big Brother All Stars.
I must admit there were a few weeks where I was uncomfortable with the season 6 alliance of Howie, Kaysar, Janelle and James and how they did NOT go after Will and Boogie. |
At that point I would say that I despised those 2 guys (Chilltown).
But as things have turned in the game and have removed my favorite All Stars (Jase, James and Kaysar), I must say that I now have a new found respect for Will and Boogie.
I mean how are these guys pulling it off? Despite everyone knowing that they were a team aka dynamic duo, how could the all stars let them stay in the game? It just amazes me. (more…)
Big Brother All Stars Danielle is going down!
| BB7 Danielle is Going Down by Roxanne McDonald
|
Big Brother fans and aficionados knew it was coming, but we didn’t anticipate it would come from the source it did.
The Tuesday, August 29, 2006 episode of BB7 has brought Danielle down. |
Will nudges Janelle to talk to Erika.
Janelle tells Erika she won’t go after her (Erika) next week:
Erika: Hmmm. I think I’ll take that deal.
Janelle: I think she believed me.
The final six haven’t even played out the PoV competition and already they are scheming and negotiating (and banking on the fact that Janelle, on the block with Georgie, will win the PoV). (more…)
Big Brother All Stars is down to six master gamesters
Big Brother 7 is down to six master gamesters, all allying with one another and each out to eliminate the rest.
|
The logic and logistics are lost on some but then again, are coming to light.
For example, Erika notes in the Diary room that “everybody is in an alliance with everybody else. Yup. And nope. |
Further, on Sunday, August 27, Erika as HoH and Danielle as her closest bud have a chat in Erika’s new paper and cloth burst of flowers room.
Erika is trying to figure out why Janelle would vote James out, and once the two realize it, they see how Will is pulling his puppet’s strings: Erika says, “Will’s got some control over her.” Yup.
Will is getting more egotistical by the minute, if that’s possible. And he complains more, too – probably to keep up the act and nothing more: first he bitches about Erika’s HoH room, saying how “you can get too much of a good thing,” in this case, flowers. (more…)
BB7 All-Stars - Gamut of Emotions
BB7 All-Stars - Gamut of Emotions by Roxanne McDonald
Big Brother 7 All Stars, August 17th, 2006
|
Big Brother 7 All-Stars puts BB devotees through the gamut of emotions—or emotional responses. |
First, we are getting fed up with the Janelle thing, especially once she “scumbagged” (as Marcellas would say) her supposed “friend”.
Yep, she put Marcellas up for eviction, pretentiously confiding in him that she had to do it but that she would ensure he was only a pawn and going nowhere. (more…)
Big Brother All Stars - Will is Gaining Power
Big Brother All Stars - Will is Gaining Power by Roxanne McDonald
| |
By the time one gets through the Big Brother 7, Tuesday, August 1st episode, one is struck hard by the frightful possibility:
what if Will wins again? |
It is a strong possibility, considering he has gone balls to wall with his intentional insulting, manipulating, and self-alienating, all of which appear to merely galvanize, or reinforce, his strength of presence in the BB house.
He has told them all during a veto meeting that he hates them all. He has cajoled and coerced Janelle—or attempted to convince her—to put a floater and a Chill Town member up, then work it so the floater goes home. (more…)
Big Brother 7 All-Stars Gets More Vicious
Big Brother 7 Gets More Vicious By Roxanne McDonald
|
The Big Brother 7 All-Stars July 23 episode, if possible, gets more vicious, more heated, more cutthroat… and at the same time ushers in another bizarre dimension to the personalities of two players, Jase and Will. |
The Sunday episode has creepy cute moments: Boogie speaks to the diary room cam, excitedly anticipating HOH James’ nominations, saying, “Call the Hardy Boys… get somebody in here to figure out who James is going to nominate.”
(Boogie is a trip; reminds me of the frat boys back east, and with good reason: he is from Concord, NH, right up the road a piece from where I first went to college. So, yes, frat boys in NH are like this—and often WORSE.) (more…)
Big Brother All-Stars is an Exercise in Arrogance!
BB7 Article by Roxanne McDonald
I was speaking with an associate (or emailing back and forth with him) today, and as usual we were discussing one of our favorite pastimes, reality TV.
 |
We agree on many points and about most characteristics when it comes to the granddaddy of reality TV shows, Big Brother, or as it is this season, Big Brother All-Stars (BB7). |
We two, like many viewers, imagine Will and Jase are gonna tear up the game,
tear apart weaker (but seemingly stealthy) alliances, and will likely, if they stay in “character”, tear new ones for those competitors they see as the greatest threat. (more…)
