Big Brother 7 - 29 Aug 2006
Last night’s BIG BROTHER was another classic. Will worked his magic once again to get everyone to do exactly what he wants. And we even returned to his phone calls with Mike Boogie to end the show. (I paraphrase: “Remember when I got my showmance to evict her best friend?” “Yeah.” “Can you do that with your showmance this week?” “No problem.”) Classic!
Here are a couple of YouTube videos related to Danielle’s melt down last night:
Danielle rang that doorbell for a good solid five minutes. And when they wouldn’t open the door, she tried pressing her ear against the door to hear any talking she could. Will has such a great awareness of the game, he knew to move into the bathroom, and he knew to put the view screen on when the conversation started.
Danielle might be a bit of a boozer, by the way. This isn’t the first time she’s been drunk in this game — even worse, she has a hidden alcohol stash!
There’s one big problem at the moment, and that’s the second eviction on Thursday night. We don’t know how that’s going to be done. If Chenbot 2006 tells all the contestants to go into separate rooms and cast their votes at a moment’s notice, it could go in any direction. Without time to work on people, Will’s power is greatly diminished. If he can’t spend the night in the bathroom or bed with someone he needs to influence, he’s weakened.
I’d hate to think BB would do something like that in an effort to remove the best player from the game.
I also liked Chicken George’s incredulousness (is that a word?) that ChillTown didn’t get nominated again! He’s not as dumb as he acts sometimes.
Doogie Howser had a fun time in the Big Brother house, dropping by to fulfill Dr. Will’s dreams of chilling with Neil Patrick Harris. It seems that Neil managed not to say anything wrong or ruin the game in his short time there, but he’s obviously a fan of the show, and a fellow CBS star.
And I think Erika is doomed. I don’t think she’d win next to George or Danielle or Janelle or Will. She might beat Mike, since he’s probably seen as merely a tool for Will to use to win. But she’d never evict him. Thus, saving Will is the right move for her, because it means Mike is more likely to look kindly upon her should the time come to make a decision for the final two.
I think Will could beat everyone, unless the jury is so pissed at him for orchestrating every one of their evictions that they blindly loathe him and would put up the more likeable George in his place as winner. (And wouldn’t it be funny to see someone from Season 1 win it all?) Janelle versus Will in the end would be close. Will played the house beautifully, but each would suggest they got the other to do exactly what they wanted them to do. Janelle would get credit for all her HoH and POV wins, though.
But there’s not point in hypothesizing all these things until we see what happens tomorrow, and who the second eviction is. Cross your fingers. Chicken George is the most expendable at this point.

Man, how cool was it for Doogie to drop by? “NPH wouldn’t do that…”
Doctor Will is clearly the best player in the game. I have to admit, there were hints of Danielle’s insanity, but wow, she really fell off the deep end.
I would love to see Chicken George win this thing.

I missed Doogie’s appearance, which I’m guessing was in the first half, but caught Danielle’s breakdown and the Will-Mike Boogie show at the end. Great entertainment!

Like season 2, if Will makes it to the end, which strangely - seems possible at this point - he will win. He just knew how to play the game better than anyone else. Maybe CBS will do the right thing next year and dump the Chebot for Dr.Will as the host. I doubt Mr. Moonves lets that happen though.
