Final Four on Big Brother

We’re down to the final four on Big Brother: All Stars. The nominations don’t matter this week – it’s really all about the PoV. But we have to get the HoH first.

No surprise that tonight’s HoH competition was another trivia game. At least this one was not 50-50 (although did anyone else notice that the harder trivia and clearly defined number of questions was on the game that Janelle couldn’t play? All you conspiracy theorists out there, enjoy…), but the football theme was just silly. The best part of the game is through the first two questions, I was winning. That’s right – I got the first two questions right. Of course, just as I was thinking I was some sort of Big Brother genius, I got the rest of the questions horrible wrong. In the actual game, Boogie won his second HoH, and probably one of the most important. With Boogie HoH, Chilltown pretty much ensures that a girl will go home this week.

The other big storyline this week was “Project Double Date.” No question that the flirting between Will & Janelle is purely strategy. They both have significant others outside of the house, and supposedly on the live feeds Will talks a lot about how he hopes his girlfriend will forgive him. Will also sent a message to his girlfriend through Boogie’s HoH Diary that he hopes she understands that it’s just a game. Janelle might be taking it a little more seriously than Will is, but she’s also so much smarter than she lets on…it could all be strategy on her part as well.

The more interesting part of Project Double Date is Erika & Boogie. Aside from the fact that there is no doubt that there is a physical relationship between the two of them (nice montage, by the way CBS), there’s the rumor that they’re actually dating out of the house. Up until this week, I really thought there was something there. Now I’m not sure. In Erika’s mind, this is a real relationship. But Boogie keeps referring to it as just a showmance. And his revelation that “Erika is going to be very upset after the show,” and that “I’m going to hell,” he might just be playing her.

Quick side note about appearances…60-something days locked in the Big Brother house seems to be taking it’s toll on the houseguests. Boogie pointed out how Erika has started smoking again, and it looks like she has aged 5 years. Boogie looks like he has aged a bit too. And Janelle has switched to a 1-piece bathing suit that was much less flattering than her bikini…not sure if she’s gained weight or not, but it looked like it from that scene in the hot tub. Will, though, seems to look almost the same (except for desperately needing a hair cut) – guess there’s something to all that Botox, huh?

At the very end of the show, we finally find out what we already knew would happen – Boogie nominated the two girls for eviction. And even though Chilltown is making nice with Janelle, I’m sure they have thought it through that she is far more dangerous to go up against in the end than Erika. I was surprised that we didn’t have the PoV competition tonight though. I though that Julie had said that the live eviction show would be Tuesday this week. But maybe they (the producers) changed their minds. Just over a week to go till the finale…hopefully next week we’ll be celebrating a Chilltown victory.
