Big Brother: All-Stars, September 5 — The Demise of Dr. McDreamy

Hello Big Brother fans! Welcome to the final seven days of Big Brother: All-Stars! There’s a lot to get through, so let’s get right down to it. Voiceover guy recaps everything we’ve seen up to now. Four houseguests remain in the house. HOH Mike has nominated Janelle and Erika for eviction. Cue the theme music!

Julie is with us tonight. Darn, I was hoping she’d be all tied up watching Katie Couric’s debut. Won’t even try to describe what she’s wearing, other than to say it would be better suited to hiding in the jungle than hosting this show. She recaps the recap. I’ll spare you a third recap. Then she tells us that the jury members, Marcellas, Howie, and James, were forced to evacuate Casa Sequester in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico due to Hurricane John. Wow! They’ve been moved to a safe location and have since been joined by last week’s evictees, Danielle and Chicken George. The drama was far from over!

We see footage of the winds getting stronger and James says they have a few hours to pack everything up and evacuate the jury house because they are in the direct path of the hurricane. He, Howie, and Marcellas pack up and get ready to go as the rains come. Their new jury house seems to be adequate and Marcellas says, “Now, there’s just Hurricane Howie. Great!” The Jurors lounge by the pool as Howie jumps in. Marcellas says they need more chlorine for the pool and Howie asks if it’s because he’s dirtying it. Marcellas says something in there needs to die. Howie says Marcellas’s attitude needs to die first. Howie asks if he is going to be negative 24/7 for the rest of his life and Marcellas says he’s only negative because he’s around Howie. Otherwise he’s a peach. Howie replies that Marcellas was not voted out because people thought he was a strong player, he was voted out because people hated his guts. James quietly reads his book in the next lounge chair.

Marcellas sits up and asks Howie if he thinks people actually liked him, then says Howie is an idiot. Howie says people hated Marcellas just for him. Marcellas replies, “You are a big, fat, oversized, fingerless, f***ing idiot.” Howie asks him if he’s going to start crying. Howie interviews that he can’t really say anything good about Marcellas. He’s annoying, relentless, and a baby. Howie declares Marcellas the worst houseguest in Big Brother history. Marcellas says Howie is pathetic and all he does is sit around talking about how good looking he thinks he is. The insults continue to fly as James interviews that he would love for Erika or George to come walking through the door because that means Howie would be stuck on them for the next week and he’d leave Marcellas alone. Marcellas and Howie continue to argue and Marcellas declares Howie a “fat bi**h.” Okay then…

The three Jurors wait under a full moon for the next evictee to join them and James says it would break his heart to see Danielle walk through the door. Get ready to be broken, James. Danielle comes through the gate and Marcellas screams, “NOOOOOOOO!” and runs up and hugs her. Howie stands in place, shocked, and James looks extremely angry. Danielle hugs Howie, then runs up to James, hugs him, and says she got scumbagged. She says when she walked through the door and saw the look of shock on their faces; she realized they were really pulling for her. She was honored. The four Jurors toast to losing. Meanwhile, George—wearing a boxing-type helmet on his head—sneaks through the gate, as Howie toasts to seeing “fat a$$ George next.” George opens the kitchen door and says, “Did you say my name?” Danielle laughs as the three guys are stunned.

Howie says he’s a Jedi, he had the Chicken George voodoo doll around his neck, and he had the sense that George would be joining them. George teases Howie for being evicted before him and George produces the DVDs showing what happened in the house the past week. Erika wins HOH and nominates Janelle and George. In the jury house Howie starts with George over his betrayal, and George tells him repeatedly to shut up. Howie—being Howie—does not shut up. Danielle tells Howie to watch the video and George tells him to keep being a 10-year-old. Howie tells George he sucks, as Marcellas smirks and James looks like he’d rather be back in Cabo with Hurricane John. George gets up and walks away as Howie says George was a waste of an HOH. George says he doesn’t have to listen to this and Howie says yes he does, he’s part of the game still. George says Howie is a 10-year-old stuck in a 36-year-old’s body. Howie mocks George’s costumes as George walks completely out of the living room.

Danielle stops them and asks Howie if he is mad because George outplayed him as George returns to the living room. George says that’s exactly what it is but Howie says not at all. George sucked too bad to get nominated, Howie says. Danielle points out that George was nominated several times and George says he is going to get a sucker to put in Howie’s mouth. Have we ever seen this much jury house footage before the final show? Howie tears the George voodoo doll off of the string around his neck and throws it on the floor. He tells George to sit down and watch the video and George tells him to be quiet and he will. James and Marcellas look very frustrated, and James says Howie was out of control. He needs to realize that lying and backstabbing are part of the game and the personal attacks need to stop. George sits next to Marcellas and James asks if they can continue with the video now that they’ve separated the two little boys. James thanks George for remaining an adult as Howie makes another juvenile comment.

Julie says with Janelle and Erika on the chopping block, Will and Mike are confident they will both make it to the final two. But all the houseguests have one thing on their mind—who is going to win the power of veto? Will and Mike talk in the backyard. Will says “Operation Double Date” worked too well. Mike agrees, and Will says he doesn’t know how it worked so well, because “who would want to date us scumbags?” Mike laughs. Will says it started as a joke but it was their smartest move. Mike says, “I mean, there’s no way you go home this week, right?” Will says yes there is, Erika could send him home. She has a strong spirit and is kind of a maverick. She nominated her best friend Danielle, and she could easily kick Will out if she wins veto. Erika joins them in the yard and they assure her that Janelle is going to be evicted no matter what happens. Erika says this is the week she was sent home during her season so she’s nervous. Diary room Erika says she trusts Chill Town as much as you can trust anyone in this house, so we’ll see. Will tells Mike he may be immune this week but he has to be motivated. Mike says none of them can beat Janelle in the finals.

Will joins Janelle in the kitchen and she asks him what Erika is doing outside. Will tells her Erika is moping. Janelle asks if she is complaining and Will says yes. Janelle asks what she is complaining about and Will says, “Life. You. Everything.” He works his magic to turn her further against Erika, to which Janelle replies, “Shut up, bi**h! I’m so sick of her.” As usual, it’s working. So, Will feeds her more dirt. Diary room Janelle says for some reason Erika thinks she can beat Chill Town in the end but she can’t. Will tells Janelle she has nothing to worry about, and then makes the same deal with her that he just made with Erika out in the yard. Diary room Will says Mike is going to continue his showmance with Erika and he will continue his flirtmance with Janelle, just so they will be more loyal to Chill Town. That’s their strategy and so far, it seems to be working.
