Whaddya think? Love to hear from everyone else on this.

Well, here we are. The last night in the Big Brother house for 2006. I don't know about you but this season has flipped by pretty quickly. So has this summer to tell you the truth. Anyhow, let's track Erika and Mike's final night in the Big Brother All-Star house.

As Mike works out in the gym, Erika hears work going on in the backyard and is jealous that she is still locked up in the house. Mike and Erika go through their clothes and decide what to wear on Tuesday night. Mike wonders how much mail is piled up at his place. He is gonna toss most of it in the trash. We have Flames as Mike and Erika talk about one of the producers.

Erika and Mike sit on opposite sides of the red couch outside. They aren't saying much of anything to each other. Erika asks Mike about Week Four. Mike says he wasn't sure who Janelle was putting up. Mike says at that time, he knew ChillTown could manipulate Janelle. Mike: When I saw Howie put the crap on Diane, I knew the fix was in. That is why I asked Will to get motivated because nobody was getting us out. Mike: In two seasons, Will and I have been so overt and nobody has put us up together. Erika: Stupidest. Move. Ever. (Yeah, whatever Erika, put yourself in that class ) Mike: During Season Two, many people paid for that. This season, the same thing. Mike shoots pool and Erika watches him. All feeds are on Flames now. They might have gotten a movie to watch. Not sure.

At 7:45 p.m. the feeds are still on Flames. It is likely Erika and Mike are watching a movie of some sort to pass the time. When the feeds return, Erika tries on dresses and takes a shower. Mike is in the hot tub alone. Erika steps outside. She wonders if the producers will give them another movie to watch. Mike is not sure. Flames. Mike: It is kinda crazy to think that one of us will be half a million dollars richer tomorrow night. Erika: I have conceded the fact that I won't win. Mike: Because of the Janelle factor? Erika calls Janelle jealous of other women but that is not the sole reason why she thinks she will lose. Mike replies that it will be stressful but fun. Mike has been trying to remember the first night. Erika: More vivid to me is the Fourth of July and watching the fireworks. Erika explains the first HOH was run on the first night in the house. Mike says when he entered the house he shouted out: Last in, last to leave! Mike asks the producers to pull the clip and put it on the finale. Mike is surprised that a "loud mouth" like him took so long to remember that. Mike shouts: Tomorrow night at this time we will be free!

Mike and Erika agree that if some of the others were in the final two, the house would be a disgusting mess. Erika says she had to clean that whole house that one day because that even she couldn't stand the garbage left around. Erika: If you win tomorrow, I will be happy for you because I know how much this means to you. Mike: Back at you. Mike admits he wants the title for the ego. Erika jokes: You could take the title and I'll have the money. Mike: I don't get excited for the money. It doesn't really change my life. I am still going to have to work 12 hours on Monday. Mike says that he wouldn't be stressed in his business dealings any more. Mike: In my little shallow existence, it means a lot to prove I am a player. I swore to the producers I was going to play aggressively this time and I did. I have no regrets even if I lose. I just want to enjoy it. We will never have another moment like that in our lives. Mike says the first person he is calling is his grandmother to tell her they are going to be on "The Thing". (note: "The Thing" is probably the television show The View or Live With Regis and Kelly.)

Erika says she is no 'Amber' when it comes to 'Big Brother'. They speak about one of the previous female contestants turning the All-Stars season down but won't mention who it was.

your predictions seem very sound, George. Although i would still say Marcellas and Howie vote for Erika with George. I think Janelle will be the flip vote...

Well, here we are, folks. The last day in the Big Brother house for this season, yet another crazy day, in my house, not the hamster cage I wish to express a heart-felt thanks to everyone, honestly, it has been a delight to chat about the series with all of you.
I missed posting earlier, as I fell asleep with my son, so let's start with the rest of last night, here we go........

Last night, Erika tells Mike how much she really misses her mom. Mike replies that it is crazy to think that they will be seeing all of their loved ones soon. Erika tells Mike she gave the producers good footage this year. She gave them bikini shots and a hook up with Mike. Erika: What more could they ask of me? Erika terms Mike as the leading man of Big Brother All-Stars. Erika goes over her experience helping in the casting for Survivor and Amazing Race. Mike and Erika wonder if they will be mobbed at the airport when they leave. Mike thinks the HouseGuests won't cast their votes inside the house but outside like last year. Big Brother starts to explain to Mike and Erika what movies they can offer them to watch in the house. Flames. The feeds don't return for approximately two hours. When they do, Erika and Mike are in bed.

At just past 9 am, Mike and Erika remain asleep.

On the feeds, we are now seeing a professional volleyball game play out. I believe France is playing Brazil. I am not kidding, folks.

As Mike and Erika snore, interviews with beach volleyball players are airing on the quad feed.

Erika is up and in the kitchen. Mike goes outside and sits on the patio. Erika joins Mike with her coffee. Erika: Should we go in the pool for the last time? Mike: Sure. That would be fun. Mike: Only a few hours left. It has been a rough five days. Mike asks Erika if she watched all of the movie last night. She did. Erika: Bill Murray is so funny. Mike says he is worried about flying with his allergies. He might not be able to do so. He is going to need help. Erika: Going into a flight with an ear infection? That is just torture. Erika: Where there is something wrong with your health, it supercedes everything.

Mike and Erika start packing up their things and throwing out some garbage. Erika has changed her mind about what she wants to wear. Two of the feeds are centred on the nomination chairs.

Oh, BTW, It appears Brazil won the match

Mike is packing as is singing as he does. We keep getting Flames off and on. Mike jokes to Erika that next year, they should put bounties on players' heads in the game.

Just a half hour away from the grand finale. Can you feel the excitement? Mike and Erika sure can. Let's peek in on them and the house for one last evening.

As they are on an outside lockdown, Boogie tells Erika that she has to think positive and that it will be great to see their friends and family. Mike cannot wait to see his grandmother. Mike jokes that the producers must think they have switched bodies because they have had a harder time dealing with her this week than him. Mike wonders what they could be doing inside the house. He assumes they are setting something up or testing running how they will film certain segments. Erika is pissed. She doesn't want to be locked out. Erika jokes about threatening not to wear her microphone. Erika: Are you nervous? Mike: I feel calmer. Just exicted. I am glad that my mother is here.

Erika and Mike recount some of the competitions. Mike rips on one of the female players being immoral no matter how often she reads the Bible. Feeds cut to Flames and then Trivia.

my enthusiasm has waned given the uninspired final 2 - but i'd like to thanks georgecarol for the updates - they were a lifeline when i was just too excited to wait for the torrent.

i agree that boogie will probably come out victorious, though i'm hoping that erika will just inch it.

can't wait for next year - fresh blood, fresh excitement. all stars was so-so, but ultimately failed because the players all knew about one another.

all over. damp squib.

Well, I've had a hard time getting on here the past hour, any site actually, damn computers. Had to do a cleanup of all my temp files, still doesn't seem to be loading up properly.

Anyhoo, enough of my probs, as you've already seen the winner :yawn: :yawn: :yawn:
Well, as I'm having a few probs with my much overused computer, I'm going to post the story tomorrow. Night night everyone

Well guys, this is the lsast official report of this season.
I'll be back later to discuss the cruelty of CBS to show Boogie's comment on live tv

The beast beat the beauty.

Mike "Boogie" Malin, the restaurateur, became the winner of 'Big Brother: All-Stars" defeating his "showmance" Erika Landin, the pilates instructor, by a landslide vote of 6 to 1 on the season finale. Along with a host of other prizes he won this season, Malin will pocket the $500,000 U.S. grand prize while Landin takes home $50,000 U.S.

Marcellas Reynolds, the former host of 'House Calls', the 'Big Brother' Internet talk show, was the sole vote for Landin to win.

"I owe Will a jet ski and a gold chain from last time," Malin jokingly told host Julie Chen referring to his good friend and 'ChillTown' Alliance member, Will 'Dr. Evil' Kirby.

In a reversal of roles, Kirby pulled off the impossible and aided Malin to his 'All-Stars' victory just as Malin helped Kirby win 'Big Brother 2' in 2001.

"I am very excited about that," said Landin of winning second place. What she wasn't too pleased about though was when Malin's disrespectful remarks about her were revealed on the live show. Throughout the season, Malin romanced Landin in the house while he spitefully ridiculed her and their relationship in the secret confines of the Diary Room even though it is rumoured that the two were dating before the series began. Landin has admitted helping CBS cast such reality shows as 'Survivor' and 'The Amazing Race' in the past on the 24/7 Live 'Big Brother' Internet feeds.


Despite being the most blatant alliance in the game and Will 'Dr. Evil' Kirby being the most infamous and feared 'Big Brother' player of all time, 'ChillTown' slithered their way into the final four by fooling the other players into believing they were "honourary members" until the time came to cut them loose. Coercing Janelle Pierzina and Erika Landin into twisted "showmances" where the couples manipulated and used each other to get further in the game helped too.

Tearing a page out of the 'Survivor' All-Stars season, the producers permitted America to vote on a special Jury Prize leading up to the finale. Janelle Pierzina, one of the most popular HouseGuests to ever appear on the series, secured the $25,000 U.S. prize, although the producers once again did not reveal the final tally of a public vote. Janelle, who set a 'Big Brother' record for challenges won on a single season, thanked America for the honour.

With their amusing 'Diary Room' phone calls, goofy celebration dances, vicious backstabbing and dueling "showmances", 'ChillTown' was the bright spot in an otherwise poorly played season that was dominated by HouseGuests routinely forfeiting challenges, weak "floaters" refusing to take sides and strong competitors shying away from making bold moves for fear of drawing too much attention to themselves. 'All-Star' game play it was not.

In a humourous moment, Diane Henry and Jase Wirey immitated one of ChillTown's phone calls and admitted there was a Mr. and Mrs. Smith Alliance early on in the game...and it was them, as many had predicted.

Accused by fans and HouseGuests alike of coaching players in the Diary Room and manipulating challenges many times in the past to achieve the results they desired, the producers were once again under heavy fire this season. Many fans found the timing of certain challenges to be suspicious in nature, such as the "desperation Vetoes" held for Janelle and 'Chicken' George Boswell, and many believed the decision to include so many trivia challenges was made so that Janelle and her Season Six alliance would have a better chance at winning. The outcry of "rigging" became so fevered that Executive Producer Arnold Shapiro took to the 'House Calls' airwaves midway through the season to defend the production.

As many of the despondent HouseGuests proclaimed on the 24/7 live Internet feeds time and time again, the 'All-Stars' season did not live up to the hype as the uninspired producers coasted their way through yet another series. The luxury prizes were few and far between. The challenges were mostly lackluster trivia or memory contests. The live broadcasts were riddled with embarrassing gaffes, including an unforgettable endurance contest that lasted all of five minutes.

The 'All-Stars' series played out no differently that any other season with the producers putting more time and effort into altering the décor of the Head of Household room every week than the game itself. Another 'Big Brother' season has ended and the series still hasn't reached it's full potential or won back the viewers it has lost since Season Three. Although CBS has begun a casting call for a possible 'Big Brother 8' by posting applications on their Web site, there is no official word if the series or the producers will be returning.

This is the official recap for the show from CBS, check out the last line, that may be a hint, yet not an official announcement.

BOOGIE BOUNCES PILATES PRINCESS
Jury Taps Mike 6-1 Winner

‘Tis the season to be Boogie, fa la-la-la-la la-la la la. The boy scores big in this summer’s BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS, adding the Grand Prize of half a million dollars to his already impressive load of booty, including a car, a trip to Aruba and a pimped-out plasma TV. The Pilates princess stretches her game as far as it will go, but this flexible femme cannot contort her way into a winning position and is pipped at the post in the Jury vote. Everybody’s All-American, Janelle, walks away with $25,000 as winner of America’s Vote.

MEMORIES
Host Julie Chen runs over some memorable moments of the season so far, reminding us all of the comedy and dramedy that has played out over the months. If the All-Star season has been one thing, it has been unforgettable, with a lineup of BIG BROTHER All-Stars culled from throughout the years. From showmances to bromances, bubble baths to bath-time puppet shows, the summer has definitely been entertaining.

PAYBACK IS ALWAYS PERSONAL
Probably missing some of the antics within the BIG BROTHER house, the former HouseGuests assemble outside their new digs to discuss who will be the addition to the Jury. On cue, Janelle joins the party, dressed to impress in a fire-engine red dress complete with her tiara and plenty of bling. George had to see Boogie instead of Janey, but Danielle was sure that it would be her blonde sister. “Hello guys,” Janelle purrs as she makes her jaw-dropping entrance. Marcellas screams his now-standard “No!” while the others greet her with hugs and kisses.

Janelle takes a seat next to Dr. Delicious as James gets to the point. “Janey, so what happened?” he probes, as Janelle’s eyes twinkle with the back-story of her eviction. Will asks if he can guess, and nails the scenario with one hypothetical. Janelle sighs, “Erika’s a backstabbing b-i-t-c-h,” at which Danielle scoffs, “Uh, ya think? Warned you!” Janelle gets passionate about her next point--“The ultimate floater. Please, god, do not let Erika win”--then begs the fates, “Do not let a floater win this game.” Danielle makes a good point in defense of her former ally: Erika never lied about her position as a floater, and was obvious about it from the beginning.

PLAYING THE PLAYERS
Danielle makes another good point, accusing the Jurors of double standards when reviewing Boogie and Erika’s similar game-play. “When a female’s the villain, it’s disgusting,” she insists, “But Boogie did the same thing,” and yet they are not finding fault in Boogie’s behavior. Danielle reminds everyone that they had three chances to vote Erika out, but never acted on the opportunity. Danielle also takes issue with Janelle’s argument that Erika showed no loyalty throughout the game. “There’s no rule that says you can’t only be loyal to yourself,” Danielle smiles, as James backs her up. “We can say Boogie rode (Will’s) coattails, but Erika tried to ride everyone else’s coattails,” James asserts accusingly. “She didn’t orchestrate anything,” Unconvinced, Marcellas claims, “Boogie played a dirty game.” Will can’t help but make it personal, admitting he liked Erika’s game, but adds that personally, “Erika disgusts me.”

Janelle stops the conversation for a moment, reminding everyone, “It is a game. (Chilltown) played a bigger game on us than we did on them, and shouldn’t you recognize (that)?” Never a man of many informative words, Howie suddenly defends Erika as having played them all, and the only people responsible for her being in the Final Two are the Jurors themselves. Danielle wraps up the meeting, asking one last pledge of her crew: “Do not make this personal.”

SORRY IS THE HARDEST WORD
The Jurors get a chance to quiz Boogie and Erika. Marcellas asks the pair what they think their best move has been in the game so far. Erika considers her deal with Janelle to evict Will her best play, whereas Boogie thinks keeping Janelle in the game so long helped him avoid being targeted. George poses his question next, and then Will makes a Chill call to his main-man. “Dude, are you in the Final Two?” The Chill boys laugh together, inspiring the others to join in, which provides a light moment before Janelle hits Erika with a curly question about her “kissing butt and throwing competitions.” Erika works the sympathy vote in her answer, careful to shed a rosier light on Janelle’s memory of events than the blonde recalls.

James asks his question next, before Danielle plays Truth or Dare with Erika and Boogie: “Was it (Erika’s) or Chilltown’s decision to evict (Danielle)?” Both find their answers tough, but neither back down under the pressure. Howie’s question has Boogie doing his best impression of Fred Astaire, launching into a tap routine that digs him out of Hurricane’s big hole of resentment. Boogie does so well that he ends up impressing more than a few players with his honest, if reprehensible, admission of lying. His last words to the Jury is a mix of self-aggrandizing boasts and apologetic pleas: “There was one big (Chilltown) Alliance, and we were smart enough to keep you in the positions we wanted to, and when you started to figure it out is when you got evicted.” The Jury is left with some food for thought as the Final Two say good-bye for the last time before the Jury vote commences. Back in the house, Erika sighs, “I think they liked you more than me.”

GAZING INTO THE ABYSS
Julie announces that the BIG BROTHER Jury is in the house and welcomes each as they arrive to a round of applause. They take their seats stage right as the studio audience’s cheers crescendo. Julie announces that it is time for the vote. First to vote, Marcellas congratulates Boogie and Erika on their game, then inserts his vote key into the box. Howie is next, and his statement to the Final Two includes an attack on Boogie’s wealth and telling Erika that he thinks America hates her now. Danielle casts her vote next, basing her decision on the game-play, not on personal reasons. A slimmer George is next to vote, casting his support for the person who played the best game, and not the most in need of the money. Will is next, standing to catcalls from the audience. He casts his vote. Janelle is next, swearing that she is not voting out of personal reasons, and James follows her with the final vote, admitting that he is supporting the best player in the game.

HINDSIGHT IS ALWAYS 20/20
After the Jury votes have been cast, Julie announces that selected Diary Room sessions are about to be shared with all the HouseGuests. Julie welcomes back the non-sequestered evictees, asking them a few probing questions. Kaysar is first to inform Janelle that James “came into the house with a chip on his shoulder.” Julie then reveals the clips wherein James damns himself with his own words. Hurt by his words, Janelle rises above the insults for the moment. Then in a quiet, smiling moment, Jase and Diane come clean about their Mr. and Mrs. Smith alliance. Yes, America, they really were an alliance. Julie then runs through the Chilltown finger-phone videos in which the boys reveal their master game-play.

TRUTH HURTS
Julie asks the non-sequestered All-Stars if the two finalists deserve to be there. No one speaks, and Julie is prompted to ask Nakomis who she feels should be in the finals if not Boogie and Erika. Nakomis doesn’t hesitate with her answer: “Janelle and Will.” When Julie asks Alison if she has any advice for Erika, Alison admits that she would love to tell Erika that she has been played all summer. Julie then informs Alison that she can tell her personally, and patches through the finalists to the studio. Alison greets the Final Two, then hits the pair with her opinion. “Congratulations, (Boogie), you played Erika the whole season long,” she points out, adding, “Erika, use that money and buy yourself some dignity.” Julie plays highlights from Boogie’s less-than-chivalrous Diary Room sessions as Erika and Boogie watch. When Boogie gets into details of how much he “used” Erika, Erika’s face pales noticeably. At the end of the replay, Boogie claims his comments were not taken in context. There is no comment from the audience or the HouseGuests.

AND THE WINNER IS...
It is time to reveal the Jury vote results. The air is tense as Julie wishes everyone luck and pulls the keys from the box. The first vote is revealed: Marcellas has voted for Erika. Howie has voted for Mike, as has Danielle. The next vote revealed is George’s, who voted for Mike. Will’s vote is next, for Mike, meaning that with four votes, Mike Boogie has won the $500,000 Grand Prize. Boogie walks through the door straight into Will’s waiting arms. As the men hug, he lets the BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS house door swing shut behind him, leaving Erika behind in more ways than one.

Julie reveals the winner of the $25,000 America’s Vote prize: it is Janelle. She is again the recipient of hugs and cheers as the HouseGuest who has captured America’s heart is rewarded with so much more than a monetary prize.

Thus we come to the end of another season of BIG BROTHER, this time with an All-Star cast who played an All-Star season. There were plenty of cheers and tears, toasts and roasts, showmances and, for the first time, a bromance, making it an unforgettable and always entertaining year. Until the next BIG BROTHER adventure, have a great year, from CBS.com.

HELP............

My friend has phoned me frantically so many times this morning because she can't find the finale to download anywhere. I've been searching for her and have come up with nada!!! I thought they were uploaded pretty well right away. If anyone can help, I'd be most appreciative, I'm considering not answering my phone at this stage because I'm not getting anything done!!!!

That's pretty hilarious if you compare it to the UK, where there are NO luxury prizes and only 100k for the winner....they gave away 580k, a car, trip to aruba, plasma TV etc etc

Also saying the challenges were lackluster...the budget per task was probably the same as the budget for ALL tasks in the UK house lol

(With thanks to Toddbone at JokersUpdates.)

Thanks Nightswimmer, I let her know, but it's not letting her download. It says something about no free slots and she's tried quite frequently.
I feel really bad for her, I found it on EZTV, there's a fault on her line, so it took her til today to download it and it doesn't work!!!! She's trying another on mininova right now, she's been downloading since this morning though and it's still only 30%. A quick phone call to India tells her that they'll fix it in 3-5 days!!! She is absolutely chomping at the bit right now. She even tried to check out the Youtube uploads from Starlet, especially the Alison one, but that ends after 35 secs. I'm really trying not to answer my phone at this stage because I don't want to laugh, but it is quite funny, the world is against her right now!!!
We must be on the same line, I'm still downloading Survivor, it's been going all night and I'm only at 27%. I'm still remaining calm though, I had an inside scoop and wanted to post my boot prediction, too late now as it's already happened. I'm sure I'll see it at some point this weekend. hopefully before the Race on Sun. Don't want to try and do 2 together, I'll still be downloading at Christmas.
Thanks BT, so much for my speed upgrade!!!!

It might be that it's reached it's daily limit or something.

He put it up in a couple other places just in case, so try these:

Great, really appreciate that, I looked for ages. Doesn't help either when your computer's running at half speed!!!

Yaaay!!! Welcome back everyone. I've had some real speed problems with my computer the last few days and to top it off, the forums have been down.
So what did everyone think of the finale anyway??? This is the first time that CBS have actually embarrassed people in that way. Even though I don't like her, I felt so sorry for Erika, sitting there and having to listen to that and try and be composed, all the while, you could see Boogie trying to explain his way out of it Ok, so Will being evicted explains the ho remark, what about all the other times then, how's he going to explain that once her mom tells her all
I figured Janie would get the America's choice prize, but I did feel quite badly for Chicken George though, he needs the money a little more than Janie. Mind you, they all go home with a lot more money than other seasons this year, I think they got $1500 a week this year, usually it's just $750. So even if they make it to the jury, they still went home with $15000, not bad for a summer job!!!
The Chenbot has got to go though, I really can't stand her at all, no in depth questions at all, just fluff, call herself a journalist, yeah right. If she wasn't married to one of the producers, she wouldn't have the job at all.
I think they should get Ann Robinson in there...Howie, your jack shack days are over, you are the weakest link, goodbye Tee hee hee.
Well, there's still not an official announcement about next year yet, even though they are taking applications through their site. We'll just have to see. They need some new producers and some new ideas. Bring back the week long challenges and the exciting twists. They didn't really have any twists this year. Oh yeah, the coup....oooohhh, you remember, the one Boogie won and then had it taken away because he talked too much!!!!! Maybe we should post some ideas on here and send them off to CBS, see what they make of them then. Maybe they can make their own Exile Island like Survivor, that would be cool, maybe have a double POV one week, that could be very interesting if both people on the block won.
So whaddya think, any ideas???

This year was the first that I actually got to see any live feed, and it's turned me off 'our' BB entirely. Seeing producers prompt the hm's and watching Will and Boogie script their conversations has taken all of the mystery out of the equation and left a sour taste in my mouth. Besides that, I'm dissapointed in the winner every year, this one is no exception. I'm just glad Survivor has started (and Amazing Race does tomorrow, *YaY*).

Are you from the US Georgecarol?

I've limited US BB experience. I've watched Series 1,4 and some of 5 on the Live Feeds. And I have seen a few Highlight Show episodes duiring each those series. For this series, I didn't get to see any of the Live Feeds but did watch the HL shows, so that's where my opinions are coming from.

I did find the final a bit disspointing. I felt sorry for Erika because after spending x number of weeks cut off from everyone you shouldn't have to face such comments especially when they are not explained fully/put into context. Just like the eviction shows, the final also lacked any decent interviews. (Heck, forget decent, just having interviews that consisted of more than 1 or 2 questions would be nice!)

The Chenbot is well, just the Chenbot isn't she? So I wasn't expecting much from her and she lived down to my expectations. I loved it when she was trying to High-5 the audience, she looked so at ease - NOT!

As for the series itself, I enjoyed it on the whole, but it seemed so rushed and confussed towards the end. I don't like the fact that a lot of the competitions are soley based on what people remember about the show. It gets repetative and tedious, plus it favours the same HMs each time. Like you say, it needs longer tasks and a couple good twists.


Coming off the back of our BB, I must admit I missed seeing more coverage of the interpersonal relationships being shown on the HL show, but then I guess that's not what US BB is about.

I must admit I was dissapointed that Erika didn't win, or at least get a few more votes. I don't see that Boogie has done anything other than what Will told him to do. The moments when he did have to step up to the plate he always seemed flustered and agressive/panicy. Erika on the other hand slip streamed to the end, and when she needed to, changed her gameplan with ease. Whilst everyone was played by Chill Town, she was the only one who saw through this at the vital moment. It's just a pity that from what Will said, it sounds like Chill Town (or rather Will) carried on playing the HMs in the Jury House, and they still fell for it - hence the votes going the way they did. I also can't understand all the Erika hate that is out there, especially as a lot of it seems based on double standards. But like I say, I only saw the HLs show, so what do I know?

He bugged the crap outta me when, during the Jurys questions he said he deserved credit for getting Chicken George to put up Howie with just 1 minutes notice, like that was a good thing? Will had already made a deal with CG to put him up along with Erika and then they'd get rid of Erika...and his strategy was to THREATEN Chicken George with the 'special power' - Yeah, great gameplay there Boogie.

Hi, no, I'm not from the US, original from the good old UK. I lived in Canada for 25 years and just moved back last year, so this was my first time watching the live feed as well. I used to get updates on what was going on as I have a friend who usually gets it every year. I'm just used to the highlight shows just like everyone else. It was a bit more shocking than expected watching the live feeds, and a more boring than expected, basically because of the time difference. They don't get out of bed til dinner time here and most of the time my kids are on the computer at that time, to see anything interesting I had to stay up quite late. As I have a son who doesn't sleep very well, it wasn't too bad this year, but next year, when hopefully he will be sleeping through the whole night, it's going to be harder to stay up.
I was missing all of my favorite shows when I first came back, as you know, the season starts over there in September/October and we don't get them til January, sometimes not even up to date. Then a kind poster on here, Moxie, gave me all the info I needed to download the shows I want to watch. Now I just worry about going over my monthly limit
I'll be back next year for BBUSA, no worries, but until then, I have the Amazing Race, Survivor, American Idol and the Apprentice to keep me busy
See ya next year

Well, one of my favourite soaps anyhoo. I've been waiting ages for someone to upload something about this, as many of you know, I'm quite challenged when it comes to things like this, so I would not even attempt it, I've only just mastered downloading
So this is the behind the scenes of the taping of his cameo. The scene airs on Oct 23rd, I'll be downloading, and no, not because I'm sad and so want to see a 2 min clip of Dr Delicious, but because I download at least one show a week and read the updates for the rest of them What would be sad, would be to download it every day Just because I watched it every day when I lived there, spending all that time just trying to watch it here, there would basically be no hope for any redemption for me at all
