BB7 Daily Recap August 18, 2006
9:00 AM Most everyone is awake and up now. While Dani cooks breakfast, Howie Janie and George are up in HOH. George says “Okay Janie, the whole house wants you out, including James.” He insists that will not happen that he wants to align with Janie and Howie. He says “to take you out like that is unfair and goes against everything I stand for and I won't do that to you. They want me too but I can't do it, but I need something from you and Howie; I remember when you said in the kitchen to me that you need someone to be there for you like Howie is and that is what I want. I want to join up with you guys, I want you to think about it, but you got to let me know quickly.” Then George says “and one other thing, you guys got to promise me you won’t vote out Erika.” They both promise. George says “If this gets out, the whole thing is done.”
Erika is talking to George now and he is telling her not to worry, that he has secured votes for her to stay. She wants to discuss it and he is not willing to discuss it or tell him what he did or is doing. George refuses to tell Erika who he is putting up in James place. He says he is doing the right thing though. Erika is worried about it and trying to change his mind, she is begging him to put up Howie or Janelle. Erika is so pathetic with her begging and telling him what a bad move this is strategically, but George is holding strong. He tells her “just go with this, I got you your votes to stay.”
10:00 AM While Erika is still up in HOH working on George, Janelle is with Howie and she is crying over what George told her about the house wanting her gone. She is most upset about James. She can’t believe she was thrown under the bus while George has the power. Janie says “do you think Chill T sold me out too?” Howie says “no, no, no….” They want to get Erika out first, then James followed by Dani. Howie wants to confront James, but they decide it is better not to say anything to anyone until after the POV Ceremony.
George was in the SR and he was telling himself over and over ‘I’m doing the right thing here...’ When he heads out and up to take a bath in HOH, guess who is there to follow him? ERIKA! She follows him right into his room again for more begging no doubt. Now George finally says he is putting Will on the block. It ‘seems’ as though he is saying this so that Erika doesn’t run back to tell Dani that he may be putting Dani on the block. Erika tells George he can’t put Will up because then she will go home. Erika says Janelle is in love with Will and that she (Erika) will go home if Will goes up. George says she won't. Erika BEGS some more. They go back and forth with Erika saying she will go home, George saying ‘no you won’t’. Erika tells George that Janie and Howie are with Chill T and will not vote Will out. Erika is now crying and saying “I’m begging you!” George seems frustrated by this and asks her to quit begging him! Dani came up and rang the bell to HOH several times and George asked her to please wait.
Erika tells George she thinks the power that someone holds is to change one of the nominations. She thinks Boogie will use this power, but George maintains that ‘The Doctor’ won’t let him. Erika counters that Boogie will use it whether or not Will wants him to. She tells George that Janie and Howie will say anything to save their asses and that they are using him. George is not budging! She tells him that Janelle wants Will to stay; she will not vote him out. George is firm in his decision, he is almost begging her to quit begging. While Erika harps on what a liar Janelle is, George asks her for about the 5th time if he can go sit in his bath tub now, he says he will think about what she has said, but he has been up all night thinking about this himself and wants to take a bath. She finally left! (This whole thing was stressful; Erika would make good money if she were homeless and had to BEG for money on the street!)
Erika has already found Dani and Boogie and is filling them in. Erika tells them about George’s plans to put Will up. Boogie says he will work on ‘that’. He says he will go to George and ask if they are all good. Erika says “he does not know what the f*** he is doing. If he puts up Will, will I go home?” Boogie says “no.”
Now Will and Boogie are up in HOH. Boogie is a little hot under the collar about Will possibly being put up. George says it was his idea! Then Will says “It’s cool, I told George I don’t mind if he put me up.” Boogie kind of threatens George and says “what happens if you follow Erika out the door?” George says “well, then I follow her out the door.” Boogie laughed. George said “I can not put Janelle up, it isn’t fair.” (George seems so frustrated with all of this and the fact that no one is giving him a much needed break to take a damn bath! Poor guy.)
12:00 NOON POV Ceremony is done! Feeds were down for about 35 minutes and when they came back it was obvious that James saved himself, but it took a little while to figure out it was Howie was put on the block along with Erika.
Will and Boogie are in the SR talking. Will says that once Howie is gone, he can make better use of Janelle. Now that she knows that James suggested to George he put her up, Will says she will be hell bent on revenge on James. Will says “If Janie were to leave, Howie would be pissed, but if Howie were to leave, Janie would just cling to Chill T.” Boogie says something about how Howie called everyone out at the ceremony. Will says “Howie violated the single biggest rule in reality TV; Alliances are supposed to be kept secret.”
Howie is with George up in HOH. He is saying to George “so you promised not to put me up and here I am.” George says “I couldn’t do that to Janie and there was no one else left.” Howie: “But you promised me.” Feeds switched!
Dani and Janie are in the gym. Janie is sad. Dani tell her “don't ever give up sweetie; this game can change at any time.” Janie says she feels so stupid because she let people talk her into putting Marc up. Dani acknowledged agreement that it was not a smart move, she told Janie not to let people in this game influence her. Dani is making a lot of sense right now and giving her some good advice. Dani says out of everyone she would like to see George’s DR’s, she says you can never tell what he is thinking. Janie laughs and agrees.
James is in the bathroom with Erika. She says “Well I did my best. I guess at least this is second best.” James throws his arms up and says there is no second best.
Now Boogie is with James. James tells him he will not vote against Howie, he says he thinks Boogie wanted Howie on the block. Boogie says he didn't tell George to nominate Howie and that he was surprised too. James says if Will was nominated Will would've stayed anyway, so this is stupid. James says Janelle is now going to be angry at them and Howie is a worthless player anyway. James says he didn't tell George to nominate Janelle but that George told Janelle that he did. James says he can't vote against Howie and Boogie says “you don't need to.” James says he needs to vote for Howie to stay. James says Howie is an idiot (in the game) and Erika could win competitions and should have gone this week. Boogie says next week Janelle will go and if Janelle wins HOH then Erika will go. He asks Boogie if he would consider voting out Erika and Boogie says no.
Eviction is today!!!!! James told Howie that it looks like he is going home. James told him the only 2 people voting to keep him are James and Janelle. James says “but we’ll see if you are still here at 5:45 today.” Howie says “the biggest scum bagger in the house now is George.” James says “when the Dr. wins this he should cut a check to Janelle, she is the one helping him to win.” Howie asks BB for his suitcase.
Will and Boogie are telling Janelle that they will vote to keep Howie in the game. They make mention of Howie blabbering in the POV ceremony about the alliance between Chill T and S6. Will tells Janelle that Howie is a hot head and if he does leave then they hope James won’t jump over to an alliance with Dani.
In the red room Janie tells Boogie she is ready to win HOH today. Boogie says “you think it's going to be questions about the house?” Janelle “yep.”
Howie walked into kitchen where Will, Janie, George and Boogie are and he whispered to Boogie: “Are you still voting to keep me?” Boogie: “Of course.” Howie: “So our alliance is still tight?” Boogie: “It’s secret.”
Now in the red room Erika and Danielle are very happy and smug about the way things are going. Erika is certain she's staying and says George just made his alliance decision (to them) and isn't a floater anymore. Danielle says the fans must be having fun with this. The internet fans are mean at times, but Dani says she reads every single post they make and laughs and cries and gets mad, but reads them all. She says Survivor fans "got nothin on BB fans, them BB fans stay up all night to see what's going down." Her record of being the only houseguest not nominated on her season hasn't been broken, since everyone on BB7 has officially been on the block now.
1:00 PM Will just told Dani that James plans to vote out Erika. Dani said “otherwise that will be 2 votes against him in final 2.” Will said that James needs to show his good will in their alliance and told Dani to tell James to vote out Howie just like the rest of the house.
Howie is telling Boogie that James sold Janelle out. Boogie asks him how he knows that. Howie says Chicken George told him that and he said “James, Dani and Erika have bonded together.” Howie says there are things he knows about James that Janelle is not aware of – yet.
2:00 PM Dani and Erika go to the SR. Dani tells Erika that James is not voting for her to stay. Erika says it doesn't really matter. Dani tells Erika that she wants James to pick a side. Dani says James told her that if he won HOH he would nominate Howie and Janie. So, Dani says she doesn't get why he (James) is now saying he is worried about jury votes.
Now Dani is in the SR with James and she asks him who he will nominate if he wins HOH. He says Chicken G and Erika, that he wouldn’t have a choice. Dani says ‘ok’ and walks out with James in tow to the kitchen.
Janelle is up in HOH with George. She thanks him for not putting her up, but says she must vote for Howie to stay. George tells her she has to win HOH; the whole house wants to put her up. George says she plays the game hard and study’s a lot to win and he didn’t think it fair to nominate her. He said he was sorry it had to be Howie but “there was no other fruit on the vine.” Janelle asks him if Will and James really told him to put her up and George responded “You are a smart girl, you have to figure that out for yourself.” Janie says she is not mad at him that she understands the position he is in.
Will Chill Town cut Erika? Will is telling Boogie that he thinks that if they vote out Howie and James votes to keep Howie, then Will will look like the bad guy and Janelle will come after them instead of James like they want. Will feels it would make more sense to cut Erika. Will wants an emergency meeting with Danielle. He is trying to convince Boogie to keep Howie, but Boogie isn’t going for it. Will also wants Janie’s allegiance so she can help them get rid of James.
James told Will and Boogie that he had to vote to save Howie because he will lose Janelle’s allegiance and he will lose Howie in the jury. Boogie and Will said they will lose Janie by voting Howie off, yet James will still be in good with Janelle and that they have to worry about the jury too. Boogie and Will do not want to be the only bad guys; they all have to be the bad guy in voting out Howie (They are mad that James wants to keep his hands clean and have Will and Boogie be the fall guys for taking Howie out).
Janie is now in the gym room with Boogie and Will the talk changes to HOH and who they would nominate; Janie says “Dani and James, Dani goes home.” Boogie and Will agree (even though they just said they want James gone). Janie asks them if Erika is going home and they both say ‘yes’. Janie leaves and Will says we need to get rid of Erika this week. Janie returns and asks them who they told Chicken G to put up. But before they could answer James came in and then Janie left. Now James, Will and Boogie are discussing getting rid of Erika now. James says he needs to vote for Howie to stay to secure his jury vote. Will says he doesn’t want to chance losing Janelle’s trust by voting out Howie. Boogie stands firm on voting out Howie. Will left to get Danielle.
Danielle tells Will and Boogie they absolutely have to vote Howie out. She says “Howie must go.” She agrees that if she, Will, Boogie or James get HOH next week they will put up Chicken G and Erika and try to backdoor Janelle.
2:50 PM FLAMES! So I am sure the producers saw fit to cut the feeds at this very moment of the unknown. Will the revised plan by Will to vote out Erika come to fruition? Or is it so long to the ‘Big Boy’? OR for all we know there could be a 'coup' in the house! |
