Kaysar, once the most revered player in the history of Big Brother, was voted out of the game yesterday, his 26th birthday. Unless I’m forgetting someone, Kaysar has now been evicted from the house more than any one else in the history of the game, having also been eliminated twice last season. As he left,… continue reading

CBS has announced that, as part of Big Brother 7‘s summer of crazy twists and unbelievable turns, former houseguests will return and participate in the three challenges this week. Ooh. Specifically, the as-yet-unknown houseguests will (mild spoilers ahead) “will be incorporated into the HOH competition” next Thursday, and it “will require this season’s All Stars… continue reading
Kaysar nominated for eviction after Janelle wins the veto and punishes the house
Well, that was a stupid plan. Danielle nominated Janelle and James with the hopes that he’d win the power of veto and prevent Janelle from escaping eviction. Instead, the opposite happened, and Janelle won, saving herself. Even better, Janelle won by accepting various forms of punishment for the house. In a game that involved earning… continue reading
Julie Chen watches the live feeds while she gets ready for The Early Show
First she laughed at her nickname. Then she acquired a mug with her likeness on it. But now Julie Chen has gone too far. She admits that she watches the live fees from the Big Brother house. “I’ll have the feed on when I’m getting ready for the show. I catch myself watching it but… continue reading
Diane says all-star Big Brother has “kind of been sucking so far”
The latest evicted Big Brother 7 houseguest, Diane Henry, agrees that this season has been very lame so far. “I’m hoping from this week out, we’ll start to see some All-Star stuff — it’s kind of been sucking so far. It just really wasn’t the same experience (as BB5),” she tells the Calgary Sun. Despite… continue reading
Danielle nominates Janelle and James, using him as a pawn to boot Janelle
New Big Brother 7 Head of Household Danielle nominated two season six cast members, Janelle and James, in order to get rid of Janelle. First, we had to watch the end of the HOH competition, which, when we left it, had all of the houseguests sitting atop a rope spider web. This was made at… continue reading
Diane voted out of Big Brother 7 and new HOH could be the victim of a coup d’etat
Diane Henry was voted out of the Big Brother 7 house by a vote of 7 to 1. She left because everyone promised their votes to Erika before Mike Boogie won the competition, and right before she left the house, Diane chastised them, saying, “It’s an all-star show; you guys should know better.” Sitting with… continue reading
James promises to “backdoor that bitch” and “piece of shit” Janelle after she nominates Diane
I’ve been desperate for this season of Big Brother to get interesting, and I think I got my wish last night. Janelle wanted Boogie or Will to win the veto so she could get rid of a floater. “I don’t think anyone else is seeing the big picture here. … they have voting power and… continue reading
Big Brother 7 slop is “nutritionally fortified porridge mix”
Earlier, I identified the Big Brother 7 “slop” food as oatmeal. Instead, it’s “a just-add-water, nutritionally fortified porridge mix,” according to TV Week, which investigated the food. I was wrong, and I regret the error and the implication that producers just chose oatmeal instead of something so much more complex and fascinating. The houseguests are… continue reading
Janelle nominates Erika and Mike Boogie as the floater strategy is finally explained
Here’s one of the (many, I’m sad to say) things I dislike about Big Brother 7: the cast members, as alumni of the show, have a sense of entitlement and an inflated senses of their own importance. This works on MTV’s Challenge shows, but here, it’s just annoying, particularly since the producers have done absolutely… continue reading
From the live feeds: Mike Boogie, Howie, and the box in the Big Brother backyard
If you’re not subscribing to the live Big Brother 7 feeds, you have no idea what you’re missing. Thankfully, some kind souls have uploaded clips to YouTube, so we can all be part of life inside the house. At first I was going to try to describe this particular video’s content, but it truly defies… continue reading

Janelle has won Head of Household for the second time on Big Brother 7.

Right before he left, Jase joked about George’s t-shirt, saying, “Crazy people make poor decisions,… continue reading
Secret alliance may explain Big Brother 7 drama this week; houseguests don’t want to be sequestered
Besides the alliance of the four Big Brother 6 cast members, there may be a secret alliance of four others inside the Big Brother 7 house. This new alliance was revealed on the live feeds last week, and may help explain the angry reaction of HOH James after George won and used the veto. During… continue reading
Julie Chen owns a TVgasm “Chenbot” coffee mug
Variety reports today, which is apparently a very slow news day, that Julie Chen recently acquired a coffee mug. The mug in question, however, has a silhouette of Julie and says “Chenbot,” and is sold by TVgasm in their online store. Apparently, Julie Chen’s fascination with her “Chenbot” nickname is ongoing, as she recently went… continue reading
George saves himself with the veto after shaving his head, giving up real food
Finally: Big Brother 7 got exciting. And unbelievably, Chicken George was the catalyst. The crazy bastard won the power of veto and saved himself, and what happened after that was a full-scale implosion. The veto challenge started by having the competitors burn their clothes, get written on with markers, and dye themselves blue–challenges clearly designed… continue reading
