Wow...Danny is playing a dangerous game nominating James. She told James that she can count on Chill Town's vote against Janelle, but I don't think that's the case. If CT vote to oust James along with the other two BB6ers, James is a goner.

I wondered if Marcellus offered (and was rejected) to Geroge the 1-week food prize before the pizza? They seem to all agreed to it during the web challenge.

Anyone got pics of Erika with her thongs while hanging from the web? :)

Yeah, the whole nominating James thing is pretty lame imo. Not that I don't want James out...I do more than anyone else, but Danielle's reasoning is just flawed. She would have been better putting up Kaysar against Janelle. They both would have fought hard for the veto, but only one could possibly win it, leaving the other to go out. Yeah, she could always backdoor someone else, but it gives everyone more time to consider booting out James.

P.S. Was that nul pass for nulling a vote or nulling an eviction?

SuperZippy

i think it is just one persons vote to evict...

so a lame thing to have...

katbug

08-07-2006, 02:28 AM

Aha! For some reason I was thinking the person could overturn an entire eviction. One vote doesn't count for much most of the time...should be interesting to see how it's used.

Yeah it just nullifies one vote. Seems lame because they haven't had a close vote all season, but if James sticks around for a while, it could be a really big deal later on.

james is gone....would be hilarious.

I dont think his act was convincing actually. Sure he sat there but he should have glared at her with a death stare.

I swore it got rid of an eviction. One vote is pretty stupid.

from BB site

Ten minutes later, he quits, picking an egg that contains the eviction nullification prize

so sounds like it's for a person not a vote

i should have stopped reading..now i found this:

the power to cancel an eviction vote, good for one week;

so is it a 'vote' or a 'vote'?

Why would CT get rid of Janie when they have shown that they can bend her will to suit their needs? It would be too funny if James went bye bye.

Why would CT get rid of Janie when they have shown that they can bend her will to suit their needs? It would be too funny if James went bye bye.

Because they were only bending to HoH's needs. CT will vote however the current HoH wants them to vote all prior deals null and void. They want to pull the strings in the background and pit the floaters against S6 hoping to coast through. What really annoys about this whole things is Danielle and James are mad at Janelle and S6 for not nominating CT person but the minute that Dani gets HoH she does not nominate CT? It just screams hypocrite. Especially because on the live feeds Danielle was talking about she did not nominate CT because she did not want to do S6's dirty work. Well isn't that the same thing you wanted them to do? And that was not a spoiler she was talking about that after the nominations Friday night.

It would be great if Janelle won the veto and forced Danielle to put up Kaysar. James would be screwed! :)
Janelle would certainly vote against him (as would Jedi Howie), and CT would likely do the same. Erika likes K, and I think even CG would probably prefer to keep K. Not sure what Marcie would do, but he does find K attractive, so he'd probably keep him just for that.

Fingers crossed.

"Howie, you eat hot dogs like tic-tacs." :)

I agree. If Kaysar goes up, it may be it for James.

BTW, anyone know where to find copies of Season 2? I've tried Netflix and BB, but neither have it.

I thought it was funny the way Dannielle celebrated as if she had really out lasted everyone. Erica would have killed her if she wanted to, she barely accepted Erica's congratulations.

Janelle would certainly vote against him (as would Jedi Howie), and CT would likely do the same. CT will vote however the HoH wants them to vote, though. Otherwise, they make themselves a huge target next week. And it's bad strategy for CT to take out James right now, when Kaysar poses a much more serious threat to them in the long run. Kaysar has already told Will he's coming after him whenever he's HoH next, so CT will likely vote against Kaysar (again, presuming this hypothetical situation comes true).

So, James just nullifies Janelle's vote this week using his special pass (or Howie's in the event Janelle can't vote because she doesn't get her nomination vetoed). That makes Howie and CG against James... and maybe Marcellas. Even then, it's still a tie, and Danielle would just vote to let Kaysar go home.

Danielle was very smart putting up James as a pawn this week. She knew that when in a veto situation, he really steps up his game. And even if he loses the PoV competition this week, she practically forces him to use his vote nullification this week, which is a REALLY good idea.

mwhip

You guys are forgetting the floater alliance of Danielly, Erika, CG and Marcellas that they formed when they figured out they were being targeted by S6 and CT. Not sure how strong it is but strong enough for Erika to give up when she looked perfectly comfortable up there on the web.

What you got to understand about CT is they will vote anyway the HoH wants them to. They want the target off them at all possible costs. If S6 wins HoH next week CT will be up there telling them they will vote for whoever they want evicted. The CT vote is for sale every week that is why if Danielle want Janelle to go she has the votes (CT, CG, Erika, and Marcellas). If Janelle wins veto and she put up someone else from S6 (it would have to be Kaysar since she made a deal with Howie on the web) up then she would still have the votes to evict Kaysar (CT, CG, Erika, and Marcellas). S6 just have to realize they are going to lose someone and they need to start rallying the house around evicting James. But that is a highly unlikely possibility.

Good point about Danielle forcing James to use his nullification if he doesn't win PoV. I am amazed he didn't think the whole thing through more and tried harder to talk D out of her plan. (or perhaps he did on the feeds).

I guess CT would probably vote out Kaysar, given the chance. But what will they do if the nominations don't change? And will Danielle throw the challenge so as not to have to remove James?

Off topic: We had a pool party at a nearby club for my son's 5th birthday this weekend. One of the party coordinators was wearing a t-shirt that read "I Love Nakomis" Naturally I commented on it, and he said I was the first one to notice. We got into a big BB discussion (he has since become a Will fan and hates Janelle), and a couple other parents joined in.

A few thoughts for last night:

James attitude towards Janelle is sickening. Calling a fat B****, etc.? Completely uncalled for. He seems to have some anger management problems and if I were Sarah, I would question my long term relationship with James.

I think James' alliance with Danielle is stronger than Danielle's alliance with James. I just get the impression she is playing him along for now and would not hesitate to drop him at a moments opportunity.

Finally, any plan that involves Wil & Boogie following a specific voting stategy is flawed from the start. CT will do whats best for CT. And this point, they might be better off getting rid of James.

James attitude toward Janelle is no different than Janelle's attitude toward the Nerd Herd. It's funny how fans are. If the person you like does the same thing that the person you hate does, then it's ok.

Me personally, I hope Danielle's plan works because outside of the two CTs, James is the one I most want to win, with Danielle next after that.

Not really - Janelle was never in the "friendship." She hated them for various reasons, their holier than thou attitude being a big one. James turned his back on his alliance and started gunning for them. He's the one with an attitude.

There's a bit of a torrent about that. :)

I've converted and watched several of the first ones on the TiVo. There were 31 eps in all I believe. I have the first 10 on the TiVoServer and will convert the rest when we finish with those.

I agree. Sure, Janelle lied to James, but the lie wasn't in an attempt to get him out. He's way overreacting. Last season Janelle was reacting to the major back-stab by Jennifer, plus the rude wholier than thou behavior of the friendship.

As for James ability to nullify one person's vote this week, I think its huge. He can nullify Howie's vote, so now Janelle will need Kaysar, Will, Booige, AND one other person's vote to stay in the house...I don't think thats likely. I think the best she can do is a 3-3 tie, then Danielle will evict her. BB really screwed up this week. They should NEVER give a reward that will directly affect voting...especially to reward someone who wasn't good enough to last in the HOH cometition. Maybe give a prize like that away to a 2nd place finisher, but not a drop-out. They turned what could have been the best BB week ever (James getting evicted as Danielle's plan backfires) into a lame week.

You forget, the veto competition hasn't happened yet. Janelle's track record with the veto is pretty solid . . . if she wins and takes herself off the block, it will be James v. Kaysar since Danielle promised Howie safety.

And Danielle was an idiot to Erika--Erika could have kicked her ass, but I think she didn't want to be the one to make the decisions this week after coming off the block. . . Danielle's who rant about being the black widow was just L. A. M. E. LAME.

Seriously the veto comp should not be discussed here period. This thread is discussion of what happened in the episode on the date in the title. If anyone who wants to be spoiled they know they can look in the live thread. If they don't they should be able to be here as a safe haven.+1

I know everyone's got good intentions with the spoiler tags, but I think it would be the most considerate thing to just refrain from any spoilers in the specific episode threads.

you do it your way and I do it mine, but thanks for your advice. This is the first time I've been bitten. On 99% of the other threads I couldn't care less.

The problem is really with the software - not to mention I thought we just had this discussion within the last day or so.

I guess I should penalize myself on 99+% of the thread I follow to make sure I don't get miffed at the 1-% that get screwed up.

since i never had email notification, can someone explain it to me. Does the entire post show up in your email box? If so, why would one ever need to return to the board? Just get emails all the time! lol

I couldnt imagine reading posts via emails, i'd never get the "flavor" of them nor be able to go back and refresh myself as to previous posts and the entire topic at hand.

And while I can understand why people are mad in this very specific situation, I also think if one is following the forum rules as posted, and using the tools therein, you can't really fault them (unless they are obviously just trying to piss u off ;))

Yep, the email notifications show the entire message in the email. Problem with relying on them for updates is that you often end up missing a ton of posts that mysteriously don't make it to your inbox. It's nice to get the notifications just to see that there is activity going on in the thread, but that's all I use it for.

I don't think there's any mystery about it, it's just a configuration setting that prevents every single reply from sending an email. If you look at the bottom of one of the notifications it says "There may be other replies also, but you will not receive any more notifications until you visit the forum again."

do you use User CP? If you dont they i can see the need for emails. But if you do, there truly is no reason except preference.

I just open the emails and click on the link to the thread, so I often don't even notice the content. Now that I know I have to worry about spoilers, I'm intentionally avoiding reading the messages. As long as you know that receiving the spoiler text is a possibility, I think it's easy to avoid being spoiled.

It is usually aviodable but in the case above, the spoiler poster put the "spoiler" all by itself in a line about 10 rows below anything else. I usually don't read the details of the email but this stood out and was hard to avoid.

It's all water under the bridge now.

AccidenT

08-09-2006, 09:29 AM

Yeah, but then I get several for new messages in the same thread on occasion, so I don't pay attention to that. It's pretty much hit and miss other than the first notification that there's new activity. Same with other forums...doesn't seem to be a constant, which is fine by me as long as I'm getting at least one saying that there's something happening. ;0)

Are you browsing the forum (not that particular thread, just the forum in general) at that time? I'm pretty sure that counts as "visiting" the forum and will result in a new email for the first reply that happens after each page you load.
