I really think Ian might win this. He looks like he weighs have as much as Britney...

Of course Dan and Britney are gonna hit the button when they only have one player! Janelle and Boogie got screwed on that dead even though Janelle hit the button anyways!

Wow the no eviction thing caught me by surprise. They've now gone from having too few players to too many? We're gonna have to have like 2 double eviction weeks. Boogie looked pissed and almost like he was thinking of walking off the show.

showing frank dad now pretty much gives away he is DUN

Yep...

I want Ian to win HOH tonight just for the drama.

I think Dan is one of the best players to ever play the game but he's not at all memorable because his tactics aren't the least bit flashy like a Dr. Will or Evel Dick. His strategy relies on being a wallflower, never causing any drama, never saying anything bad about anyone, grabbing any bit of info he can from people while giving out as little as possible. He makes people like and trust him by spending equal time with everyone and asking them about things they want to talk about and then showing lots of interest in what they have to say. If he goes into the game, he is the most dangerous player by far, especially allied with Shane, who will do all his dirty work, Danielle, who he has complete loyalty from, and Britney, who will also be very loyal out of necessity.

Here's a weird clip from a few minutes ago:

August 2, 1:09 am, Feed 1- About 30 seconds in he spends about 2 minutes headbutting the teddy bear, rocking back and forth like he's having a seizure, looks like he's going to cry several times, frantically whispers to himself while waving his hands around... I'm really starting to worry about this kid's mental well-being...

I wouldn't be so sure, anymore........Joe still has time to screw it up and get himself booted.......what an idiot

He sure is doing his best to screw things up. Why the crap was he campaigning to Jenn when he's already got the votes? He's said like two words to her the whole game and now he thinks he's going to convince her to vote against her team? He really should be the one going this week.

For anyone watching the live feeds, Joe might have just sent himself home with his big mouth!

Wednesday, August 1, 11:07 pm, Feed 1 & 2 (Watch the chaos on all feeds once Joe's conversation with Jenn is over)- When Wil overhears Joe tell Jenn he has vital information for her if he is voted out, Wil becomes furious and threatens to vote Joe out of the house!

This morning Frank, Boogie and Wil were on the couches making some eye contact and they all giggled. Boogie looked really happy. It would be such a funny blindside.

Wil just whispered to Danielle that he's making Boogie/Frank think he's voting Joe out so that Ian and Jenn will be shocked and less focused for the HOH comp and so that he can blame the vote on one of them and cause chaos in the team. It's definitely looking grim for Frank.

I think it's in Shane's best interest to keep Frank -- and to try to work the house towards that goal. I think Shane feels he can trust Frank more than Joe,

and at this point someone should really talk up the idea of the coaches returning and how Janelle and her team will be difficult to deal with all the way

around. From the Shane perspective, he should want to work with Boogie and his team -- rather than relying on Janelle, etc.

The undoing of Frank will probably be the undoing of Shane.

Shane already blew that opportunity just by putting Frank up. Because of that Frank no longer trusts Shane and has agreed with Boogie to backdoor him at the first opportunity. Keeping Frank in the house at this point would just make things even more disastrous for Shane.

So is he going or staying? I am so confused. *sigh* Glad to see the HG keeping us guessing. I get so bored in the early weeks when everyone does what the HOH wants because they don't want to "rock the boat".

Right now, Frank is still the one going home, although there are a lot of fractures in the Britney/Shane/Danielle/Dan/Janelle/Joe/Ashley/Wil alliance so it's definitely possible the vote could be flipped. In particular, both Danielle and Wil's dislike of Janelle is growing steadily and if one of them flipped, Joe would go home. Britney might even be on board the way she has been bashing Janelle lately.

It's kinda awkward watching her and Shane together because she is obsessed with him and he isn't into her at all but has to act like he is because he's so nice and doesn't want to compromise his game by rejecting her. It reminds me of the Drew and Diane relationship back in the day.

Does anyone remember a season that the majority of posters praised at the time or does this board only like the show when viewed in retrospect?

Janelle is still playing the best game in the house.

How can you say that when her own team doesn't even like her. She doesn't inspire loyalty like Dan and Boogie and has lost the trust of most of the house due to her lies, exaggerations and pushiness. If she goes into the game on Thursday she will likely be targeted by the majority of the house and will probably be the first coach evicted. If she stays as a coach, she has a good chance at the 100k but not because of her coaching, it will probably be because her team abandons her and other people in the game trust them more because of it.

Tuesday, July 31, 10:02 am, Feed 3 & 4- Boogie and Frank attempt to get Wil's vote.

Why is Janelle such a pathological liar? She lies about crap that doesn't even matter. It's ridiculous. I don't remember her doing this in her seasons. Maybe she thinks she lost by not lying enough then and is overcompensating? She's worse than Shelly from last year.

Huh?

Well this is the dumbest thing ever! I am firmly starting to hate Janie in this game and I WANT one of her players to go home. I dislike pretty much ALL of her team members. Ashley is only entertaining in that Jessica Simpson, is this chicken or fish (tuna) kind of context.. the rest of the time she is freaking stoned or out of her mind. Joe has been stirring up trouble for the sake of trouble since day one. I don't forget the kind of lies he told Willie originally and was half the reason Willie started being paranoid BEFORE all the stuff about the coaches coming into the game even came up. Wil I had high hopes for, but he's just being catty, petty, and annoying.

All of this Frank is stalking me nonsense is starting to remind me of Season 6 when those girls (April and Jen) convinced the house that Michael (Janelle's failed showmance) was being creepy and pervy to them, and making them romantically uncomfortable so that he would get voted out of the house. The poor guy did none of those things to those girls, they just defamed his reputation to get their way. It was reason number 5986 that I hated the nerd herd alliance.

But I will seriously be really pissed off if Frank goes this week, because out of all of these house guests this season, he's one of the only ones I've found remotely interesting. He is not an attractive man, and there are things he does through his association with Boogie that I don't necessarily like/agree with, but there is something very compelling and charismatic about him to me.

{The BO convo came about I thought because someone was talking about how attractive (or not) Frank was, and someone threw in there that Matthew Mcconaughey was a man who didn't need to bathe, or something like that. It was like 4am when I read threads last night so maybe I misunderstood how that subject about animals and sense of smell got brought up. If so ignore everything I said. }

I agree with all your points. The only people more annoying than Janie's team is Janie herself. I have come to like Frank more and more and was excited to see him and Shane work together to take out all the liars and floaters on Janie's team but all the lies Janie has spread about Frank has made everyone so paranoid about him that everything got f'ed up. Janie preaches about being such an honest player and then it turns out that she's playing just as dirty as Boogie ever has.

Frank has been pretty funny talking to the camera a lot this morning, talking about living in the house and the disgusting things people do. I like HGs who talk to the camera and narrate their thoughts. He seems pretty sure he's staying. I feel kind of bad for him and wouldn't mind someone switching their vote and keeping him although that's very unlikely.

If you want to watch a fair competition, go watch the Olympics.

Monday, July 30, 12:26 pm, All feeds- The aftermath of the POV ceremony where Shane put Frank up is fun to watch on all feeds.

Sunday, July 29, 6:57 pm, Feed 1 & 2- While talking to Shane and Britney, Wil asks Janelle to leave the room and proposes his own deal, undermining Joe and Janelle's efforts. It's also worth sticking around after Wil leaves for Ashley's encore performance.

Sunday, July 29, 4:14 pm, Feed 1 & 2- Joe goes for an Academy Award with a plea to Shane.

I voted no just because if the result was no, it would prove that the vote wasn't fixed, which would make me very happy. If it is fixed than I wish they would just say it is happening and not go through this whole voting facade.
