Kaysar voted out on his birthday, admits he’s “just not cut out for this game”

Kaysar voted out on his birthday, admits he’s “just not cut out for this game”

August 11, 2006 by Andy Dehnart

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

Former houseguests will participate in Big Brother 7 challenges this week

August 10, 2006 by Andy Dehnart

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

Kaysar nominated for eviction after Janelle wins the veto and punishes the house

August 9, 2006 by Andy Dehnart

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

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”

August 7, 2006 by Andy Dehnart

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

August 7, 2006 by Andy Dehnart

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 voted out of Big Brother 7 and new HOH could be the victim of a coup d’etat

August 4, 2006 by Andy Dehnart

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

August 2, 2006 by Andy Dehnart

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”

Big Brother 7 slop is “nutritionally fortified porridge mix”

July 31, 2006 by Andy Dehnart

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

July 31, 2006 by Andy Dehnart

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

July 28, 2006 by Andy Dehnart

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 wins HOH for the second time after Jase is unanimously voted out

July 28, 2006 by Andy Dehnart

Janelle has won Head of Household for the second time on Big Brother 7. She won the HOH competition–and kept the season six alliance in control for a fourth straight week–shortly after Jase was voted out of the house unanimously. 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

Secret alliance may explain Big Brother 7 drama this week; houseguests don’t want to be sequestered

July 27, 2006 by Andy Dehnart

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

July 27, 2006 by Andy Dehnart

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

July 26, 2006 by Andy Dehnart

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
