Can we watch it as it is shown on CBS? Is there a link?

I don't know how other people do it, I know they watch, I cheat a bit actually. I have friends in Canada, one of them has her cable running through her computer so we do the old remote assistance trick We watch it at the same time. We did try the camera towards the tv, but it wasn't as clear as I'd like

streamtvnow.tv but you have to pay something like 2 quid for a months service.

Mike and Erika would make a terrible final 2. I remember at the start thinking how on Earth either of them were even considered or Allstars. However, despite this I think Erika has played quite well this time around. If Janelle goes. I hope Erika wins over Mike who I truly cannot stand.

I personally don't even want Mike in the final 2. I'm really really hoping I'm wrong with my pick and Erikas wins this one and takes Janie. Revenge is a much better reason for doing it. She knows she's been played, please take revenge Erika, it would be so sweet
Greed of course overrides everything else though and she must realise that she won't get Janie's or Will's vote, so she must think strategically now. Please

As she sits outside in the hammock, Erika mumbles to herself: God, what do I do now? Erika speaks privately to Mike. She talks about possibly throwing the last HOH for him. Once the lockdown is over, everyone gets to packing their bags for the live show. Janelle pulls Erika aside and tells her not to let Mike get away with everything he has done to them and her. In the kitchen, Erika looks through the fridge and tells herself she has to win the HOH. As everyone lays down and relaxes, the feeds go to Flames and have remained that way for over 40 minutes now.

This is the tensest final HOH I have watched. It's driving me absolutely crazy I'll be in and out with updates as I have a letter to write that I've been putting off all week and it's due tomorrow. I may be up very late

This is my last show tonight as I'm going on holiday for 2 weeks.
I will have to catch up when I get back.

Please Erika, win the final comp and take Janelle.
An Erika/Boogie final 2 is nothing short of a nightmare.

hey, have a good holiday, try not to read the forum when your away, don't want to spoil the surprise

finally some updates before the live show starts. As they get ready for the live show, Janelle tells Erika she has to win. In the front room, there is a television moniter set up for the final part of the HOH Challenge. Mike gives Erika a piece of paper and says it is a letter from his mother. Erika kisses Boogie. As they sit in the living room, Big Brother says: ...And then there was three.

The feeds return. shouts: There is nobody here. try to figure out how many times escaped eviction. Big Brother: This is a lockdown. Please go into the backyard until further notice. shouts outside: What's up, Studio City!

god, how gutting. noone to root for at all now.

i'm trying to think - has anyone ever won this show and it been satisfying?

Will, i guess, season 2. Jun, maybe - season 4 ( tho allison was robbed)

think of all the damp squibs who have won tho: lisa! maggie! drew!

still - can't wait for next season - fresh blood please. although i enjoyed all-stars, it lacked the lustre of previous seasons when the faces were all new.

Sorry I didn't get to any updates, I've been out all day. So, the cat is out of the bag and Janie got kicked. I am in mourning for yet another summer down the drain. At least Janie will win America's choice, she seems to win all of the popularity votes, and as the same thing happened to her last year, I think it will be pity votes, so no worries there Anyhoo, on with the updates from last night, but first, here's the official story.

And then there were two All-Stars left.

Mike 'Boogie' Malin and Erika Landin outlasted 12 other HouseGuests and will now go on to face the jury on the season finale of 'Big Brother All-Stars'.

Winning the second and third stages of the last Head of Household Competition, Mike held the fates of both Erika and Janelle Pierzina in his hands.

"Erika, I do hold you responsible for Will's eviction even though Janelle had cast the vote but I am not here for vengeance. Janelle, you are a phenomenal player. I hated you. I loved you. I adore you. I couldn't say a bad word about you. You are too good at this. You have won nine competitions. You have too many friends on the jury. I love you but I have to evict you, sweetie," said Mike as he cast the final eviction vote of the season and sent Janelle to the jury house. Mike and Erika then stood in front of the Memory Wall and glanced over the blackened photos of all the former 'All-Stars' players.

"Did that just happen? I just had this weird dream," said Mike as Janelle took her walk to the Couch of Shame.

"He would've had a harder time beating me rather than Erika," Janelle told host Julie Chen of Mike's decision. "It was probably a good move for him to evict me."


When Chen questioned her about the mistakes she made in the game, Janelle, who set a new record for challenges won but allowed many of the other HouseGuests to mastermind her strategies throughout the game, replied that she shouldn't have placed her faith in others.

"I trusted too many people," Janelle admitted. "I believed people so that was my major flaw." Janelle regretted trusting that the Chill Town Alliance had her back in the game and the role she played in paving the way for her friend Marcellas Reynolds to be booted.

Janelle blushed when Chen asked her if she had feelings for Will 'Dr. Evil' Kirby.

"I'm too embarrassed," she said.

In his goodbye message to Janelle, Mike continued his relentless bashing of Erika in the Diary Room referring to her as "Scrubika". It is rumoured that Erika and Mike were already dating before entering the 'Big Brother All-Stars' game. In the house earlier this season, Erika told others she had done casting work for CBS and had a hand in picking some of the Survivors for one of their seasons.

In a twist recycled from the 'All-Stars' edition of 'Survivor', Julie Chen revealed that America would have the opportunity to award one of the jury members $25,000 U.S. by text messaging their votes in. The prize will be handed out on the finale.

On the season finale next Tuesday, the seven-member jury will vote on the winner of ‘Big Brother: All-Stars’. The winner will take home $500,000 U.S. while the second-place finisher will pocket $50,000 U.S.

Big Brother delivers a basket of food and champagne to Mike and Erika. Mike thinks it is awesome that a producers' pick and an Amercia's pick are the final two. Mike and Erika ponder the jury vote. They both are chipper when they realize Season Six is now officially gone from the Big Brother house. Mike: You realize this will be the longest five days of our lives, don't you? Mike says Janelle should have been gone earlier in the game but he saved her by handing her a doll in that Veto Competition.

Erika tells Mike she is glad things worked out the way they did. It would have been cruddy for her since she made a promise to Janelle on her mom. Erika and Mike sit down to dinner. Erika says her mom is freaking out now. Erika: She is tripping out it is the two of us. Erika apologizes for taking out Will. Mike: It hurt but I understand. You had to do what was best for yourself. Erika: Coming in with your best friend must be hard. Mike: There are definitely issues. Will taught me to always look after myself though. Erika and Mike are locked down inside the house. Mike says what was weird about Janelle is that you couldn't excite her about her family or private jets. Erika: She was excited about love. Erika: Will had her hook, line and sinker. Erika says she thought Howie was entertaining until she had to live with him then she found him very annoying.

Mike thinks that Howie wasn't smart enough to throw competitions and was wrapped around Janelle's finger. Erika: I think George is smarter than people think. Mike says George has been around the block and knew how to read people well. Mike: George got caught in the crossfire this season. I had hoped for you, me, Will and him. Mike: I would pay to see their faces when Janelle walks around the corner. We finally got her out. Erika says that Janelle was either really good at the competitions or really bad. There was nothing inbetween. Mike: She was hit or miss. Mike: Forever, she will be talking about not having her gloves. Mike says the second phase of the HOH wasn't fair but it was fitting she went out that way. Mike says Will got "boned out" by the "chick on the sidewalk".

Erika: I was really shocked when I saw that car up there. Mike says maybe by winning the competition he gave the producers a taste of their own medicine. Mike wonders if Erika was second-guessing him when he won the final HOH. Mike: It was a great ending. Erika: It was pretty awesome. Erika says Janelle was like a little kid when Will would tell her to do things. Erika praises Mike on the plan to play her and Janelle.

I think the more I watch over the next couple of days, the more these people are going to make me want to vomit
The self-adulation is so uncalled for. I don't feel either of them should win, and it's been that way for the last 4 seasons. They had better come up with something better for next year, fresh faces and maybe some originality to the game. Where are the challenges that used to last several days, where are the luxury challenges? I don't believe they've announced if it's renewed again for next year yet, But I think even the Chenbot was ticked off over everything this year. Unfair competitions, buzzers not working, endurance competitions that are over before they even start. I've never seen a season that had so many people throwing so many games, it was ridiculous. I think they need a new producer and they need to go back to the drawing board.

I believe this is to be the last season.....

They say that every year and the announcement is usually made after the final show. I haven't read anything either way, did you hear something???

Here's the rest from last night.......

When Erika and Mike were allowed to go outside, Erika talks to the Internet. Erika: I cannot believe I am here with Mike Boogie. I had Will and Mike. My strategy worked. I probably won't win but here's to me! Mike and Erika relax in the hot tub and exchange some kisses. Erika tells Mike that they should take a trip to Europe because more people there like Big Brother. Mike believes that Will and James will vote him. Erika thinks she has Howie, Marcellas and Chicken George. They are not sure how Janelle or Danielle will vote. They talk about how hard Janelle fell for Will. Mike says it doesn't matter that Janelle didn't win Big Brother. She will marry or date a rich guy. Mike thinks it is strange that Julie Chen commented on them not sleeping together any more. Erika and Boogie put two beds on the floor and push them together.

Erika and Mike are up early this morning and set to tidying up the house.

Erika comes outside and tells Mike it was disgusting to clean the bug room. Mike is not surprised. He says Howie slept in there and so did Janelle. Erika goes back to cleaning. Mike lifts weights outside. As Mike lays in the pool, Erika says to herself inside: The maid was here! Mike to the cameras: Sorry, I am so boring Internet. I don't have a lot to talk about right now. I will give my usual shout-outs to... Flames. Mike: Even if you don't like me, you have to give it up. No matter if it is the little one or the big one, the cheque will clear. The cheque will clear. I know who is on the Internet. Hi ... Flames. Mike: Did you clean the whole Big Brother house, Erika? Erika: Yeah. Mike: Leave the dishes I will do them. Erika: Sure.

It is with a heavy heart I post this.........

‘All-Stars' Series Pick Ratio: 10 for 11 (+1 surprise eviction)

I was so hoping I was wrong on the last one.

Janelle said on Live Feeds, she said her source was good- a producer.

Must have missed that Jason. Maybe they'll have an announcement on the final show then.

Anyway, couldn't get back on my computer to post the updates last night, so here are some now. I may have to break off as I have to go out for a while, but I'll do my best. It's not like it's exactly exciting. No more gameplaying, strategy, or even intresting conversations. I don't know if they'll try to make a go of it on the outside, but OMG, they are a boring couple :yawn: Here goes anyway........

As Mike and Erika have something to eat in the kitchen, they chat about Janelle going out third again. Mike says that the conclusion of the series does go by fast. Mike: It seems like yesterday that George and Danielle were evicted. Erika: People were flying out of the door. Mike: We need to fly out of here. Erika: It is Friday, right? Mike: Yes. Erika: Nominations are today. Oh, wait. There are no nominations. Erika goes over how many prizes Mike won, the fact that he never went on slop and that he had the "Power". Erika: You have won this game. Mike: That could all work against me. As Mike is called into the Diary Room, the camera pans over all the dishes he has left to do. In the backyard alone, Erika thinks out loud about the jury. Erika: My God, what do I say to these people? Erika goes inside and stares at the Memory Wall in silence. Erika paces around the house. Erika: Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

When Mike comes out of the Diary Room, he and Erika sit by the pool taking in the sun. Big Brother announces that it only takes 230 laps in the pool to equal one mile. Erika tells Mike to enjoy his final days in the house. They will never get another chance to experience that. Mike says that he hated so many people on Season Two but this season, he found it hard to dislike most of the All-Stars. Mike: Why don't they just dump the Internet now and let us live normally? I told that to Alison and she said, you won't believe it but people are watching... Flames.

Mike and Erika chat about the sequester house. Mike thinks Janelle is going to get drunk and be all over Will. In the hot tub alone, Erika says to the Internet that she is the Amber of Big Brother but she did way more than her in Survivor. Erika goes in to take a shower while Mike lays outside. Mike exercises outside and Erika rests on the couch watching him. Erika: You know what they are doing online now? They are guessing who is voting for who. Mike: I have a lot on my mind right now. I am not even thinking of that. Erika asks Mike if he has thought about what he will say to the jury when they each have their two minutes. Mike has not planned what to say because he doesn't know what he will be asked. Mike: I am just going to be honest. They can call it scumbagging or throwing them under the bus, I don't care. I came in here for a reason and everyone was playing for themselves.

Mike: It is funny how some come here and get in worse shape and some get in here better shape. Mike says the house is the best place to get fit. It also helps get rid of stress. Mike and Erika guess Janelle gained 15 pounds. Erika: She will lose it easy. Erika says to a camera: I would do anything to watch television. Can we at least see the opening? The camera nods in the negative. Erika: Meanie! We got to see it in our season when it was the final four. Mike does the dishes. Erika is laying down in the front room. Erika: I don't know why they cannot show us it. It is almost over. Mike: I guess it is the shut out from the outside world thing. I don't know why they cannot just have us on the Internet one day then shut it down. Erika: How can people watch this at home and think it is fun? Mike: I have no idea. Erika: I just want a half hour of television that is it. Mike: What would you watch? Erika: Ummm. It wouldn't really matter, just something.

Mike lays in the bug room listening to music. Erika lays in the front room doing her eye brows. Erika checks in with Mike. He will listen to three more songs from Jay-Z. Erika: I am so bored. Erika starts singing. Big Brother: Erika, stop singing. Erika: Sorry, I forgot. This must be so boring for the Internet to watch, sorry. Erika: Please let me out of here. I am so bored. Erika walks around the house. Mike listens to music some more.

Erika starts looking at all of the Big Brother items hung up around the house. Erika walks outside and mentions something about putting the king in checkmate. Erika goes back in. Mike: The CD is your's. This day is almost over. Erika checks the storage room there is booze and games. Mike: Awesome! Erika: You wanna play a game? Say, yes. I would rather play a game and then go to bed. Erika and Mike are gonna play Parcheesie. Mike sits and reads the rules to figure out how to play. Mike: It is kinda like Backgammon. Mike doesn't feel like figuring out the rules. Erika and Mike agree to save that for tomorrow and to play Backgammon instead. Mike and Erika play and play. :yawn: :yawn:

The game ends and Mike decides to take the laundry out of the drier. He gives a pair of shorts to Erika. Erika: These aren't mine. They are Chicken George's. Mike: The legend and the legacy of Chicken George lives on! Mike: This is like prison. At least in prison, you get reading materials and television. Erika: This sucks. Mike tells Erika to go listen to some music. It will help kill an hour. Mike gets in the hot tub. He sits alone not saying a thing.

Well, the jury question period should be today. In past seasons, the juror questions have played out the weekend before the finale. The jury either asks them via satellite from the sequester house or they are flown back to L.A., go to the Big Brother house and ask their questions over the intercom system. The heated question and answer session will probably happen tomorrow and although we usually don't see it on the feeds we will hear the final two react to it. It is cool because some of those questions and the answers are not shown on the finale. So if anyone gets to hear that, we all want the updates on it, so get posting. Not sure what time it is, they may mention it later, so eyes and ears peeled guys. I think Boogie's reaction to any questions, will either aid him, or blow up in his face, he needs to bite his tongue.

Hello, everybody. Weekend going well thus far? I hope so. Whatever you are up to it has got to be better than what Erika and Mike are going through. Good news is either today or tomorrow (I originally understood it to be today) we should have the jury questioning. Usually, they don't show the actual questions and answers on the feeds but the finalists usually cannot help discussing what happened after it is all said and done.

As Mike sat outside in the hot tub last night, Erika went over what she will say to the jury. At one point she says that she is the new "Puppet Master" and that Will played a great game because he made it to the final four without winning a single competition. Erika to the Internet: You know who the real winner is, don't you? Erika joined Boogie outside and they did some imitations of the former HouseGuests. Erika: I am sorry I helped get rid of Will, are you mad at me? Mike: Of course not, I kept you over her, didn't I? Boogie and Erika slept in the same bed last night. They remain asleep closing in on 9am

While Mike sleeps, Erika gets up, has a shower, wanders around the house for a bit before going back to bed and listening to music.
