Big Brother 7 Daily Coverage

4:55AM BBT: Kaysar goes to bed. Lights out the BB house. Not a creature was stirring, not even a ~~mouse~~ hamster.

5:15AM BBT: Howie is in between Janelle and Kaysar in the HoH bed. He has been sitting up, and is now restless. It's obvious that his ear is bothering him badly. He gets up and out of bed. Back in a few minutes later, He farts. Kaysar comments..."Geeez, Howie, you just went to the bathroom." Howie sprays air refresher under the sheets. Checks on the time with Kaysar (5:30).

Just farted again. Whispers a quick "sorry" to the room. Kaysar eventually asks if he's okay. Needs more Tylenol and is off to the kitchen/bathroom to take his pills and see if he can find anything else to help. We watch him pour something (white bottle - alcohol?) into his ear. Then, after jiggling that around and out, he tries a brown bottle - peroxide? Then back to each of them one more time.

He paces to the kitchen and back to bathroom. Cuts another one and apologizes to BB. At 6am he heads back upstairs.

6:08AM BBT: Nakomis got up went to the bathroom and washed her hands and went back to bed. Jase up now to the bathroom. Just as Nakomis is getting back into bed. He goes back to bed without washing his hands. 6:31AM BBT: Everyone is sleeping. Even poor Howie with his ear bothering him so badly, at least I think he is. The feeds are on the Bug and Red Room. 9:20AM BBT: All still sleeping. But we get

9:30AM BBT: Danielle awoke, took a pill, changed her mic and grabbed the vacuum. The plasma screen reads: "HoH Competition Coming Soon." " Like this morning?" Danielle wonders aloud. She yawns, and is clearly not energized yet. She prepares a bowl of slop.

10:30AM BBT: Those that are up are roaming around like "The Dawn of the Dead" BB plays some music to help wake them up, this of course is blocked on the feeds, and they give us the same trivia questions as before. Howie gets up and is still complaining about his infected ear. He got slop in it during the food contest and couldn't get it out.

11:00AM BBT: It's been a while with just

. This is typical for Thursdays before the show. HGs must clean the house, get themselves all prettied up for the cameras, and sometimes they make them go outside to practice where to stand during the HoH competition. We will not have anything to report until after 6:00PM BBT.

2:00PM BBT The waiting game continues. Occasionally BB will give us a glimpse of the BY and we can see what type of HoH competition we'll have tonight. As you can see it looks like another Q&A.

2:10PM BBT: In the Bug Room Kaysar, Danielle and James are discussing Marcellas and how he didn't vote with them this week. Danielle said he was the same during BB3 and going back and forth all the time. She goes on to explain if she gets HoH she will make her nomination speech truthful and make it real as it will be a logical decision for her who she puts up. Kaysar says he wanted Diane out and feels that Marcellas wouldn't change his vote just to spite Kaysar. James says that it's because it was beneficial to Marcellas to keep Diane in the game. Marcellas knows where Diane stands but not Nakomis. George comes in and goes out just as fast. Kaysar thinks he was spying on them for someone.

They discuss Janelle after George goes. James doesn't understand why Janelle talked to Jase about Alison even when she believed that they were in an alliance. Then she wanted Diane out because of Mr. & Mrs. Smith but she gives him the information again. He thinks Janelle has thrown him under the bus because of her conversation with Jase yesterday and that they are exchanging information. Whispering continues that is hard to hear then we get FotH. When feeds come back, James has left the room.

Tonight's Broadcast in Color on CBS:
(A more complete re-cap of tonight's show is available on the CBS web site after the show has aired on the West coast)
Previously on "Big Brother: All-stars" at the HoH competition the season six alliance stayed in power. And set their sights on CT. After the food competition, half the house was forced to eat BB slop. In a surprise move, Kaysar struck a deal with his biggest rival. At the nomination ceremony, he made good on his promise, by nominating Nakomis and Diane. Diane was crushed by the nomination. At the veto competition, the nominees battled for safety, but came up short. Erika won the PoV, but didn't exorcise her power. After the veto ceremony, it seemed as though the whole house was disappointed Erika didn't use the veto. Who will be the next all star evicted from the BB house? Diane or Nakomis? Who will become the next head of household? Find out live tonight on "Big Brother: All-stars."

Diane and Nakomis both agreed not to campaign, until made Nakomis a last ditch effort. A DR clip shows Will asking for the shrink: "I want to see the shrink, I'm being sexually harassed by a big "

The house discusses their voting options.

A DR voting scene shows Danielle, Howie and Mike giving their comments and Mike voting to evict Nakomis.

A segment on Kaysar shows his family, who are devote Muslims from Iraq. A Muslim public affairs spokesperson explains that Muslims pray five times a day. His sister, Edina, says she's excited to see him back in the house. She says his faith and prayer helps keep him calm and positive. See the Video

In the HoH room, Julie talks to Kaysar: Julie asks Kaysar about not nominating Will and Boogie and nominating two less obvious player, and if he was worried that people will think you're a wimp? He says he's refined his strategy since last time, "You can't always go after the head honcho." Julie asks why he didn't nominate Will after told him to put him on the block, and Kaysar says Will was trying to be tough, and he wasn't tempted. Julie asks, "Just how strong is the season six alliance?" Kaysar Season six is very strong.

Will George and Erika are shown in the DR giving their thoughts before voting, we saw Will vote to evict Diane.

What about the Mr. & Mrs. Smith alliance? Danielle thinks Jase and Diane have a secret alliance, Danielle reminds everyone that Jase worships Brad Pitt, and "Mr & Mrs. Smith" was a movie with Brad Pitt. Marcellas also thinks the alliance really exists. The TV coverage, of course, didn't mention Diane's former roommate and the fact that Alison was supposed to be part of the alliance, and that Jase voted to evict her. See the Video

Janelle is in the DR, Jase, James and Marcellas and we see Janelle vote to evict Diane, and James vote to evict Nakomis.

Julie talks to the HGs and announces the vote: By a vote of 8 to 2, Nakomis was evicted from the BB house.

Julie: "Nakomis on season five, you made it to the final four. On All-Stars things didn't go your way and you seem blind-sided by your nomination. What happened?"
Nakomis: "Well, pretty much, I got into the house and a lot of people seemed to already have cliqued up right away. As we came into the house.
Julie: "Was your head in the game?"
Nakomis: "My head was definitely in the game. Whenever you get put up against someone you have been like, hey, you know, I'm not doing anything because it seriously wouldn't have helped me because a lot of people are afraid of me in the game.
Julie: "Would you say you played under the radar in the season?"
Nakomis: "I definitely wasn't trying to play under the radar. Because of Will and Boogie and all the people big personalities that was the only place for me to be.
Julie: "Kaysar could have nominated anyone.
Nakomis: "Yeah. Kaysar could have nominated anyone. But he came to me with my game strategy intimidated him. And he tried to switch it. It was so wishy-washy, I knew I was going.
Julie: "I will have more with Nakomis tomorrow morning on "The Early Show" on CBS and you can talk to Nakomis at 1:00PM Eastern on "Housecalls" on CBS.Com. Nakomis Eviction: See the Video

Next it was time to show the HGs their next challenge: "This competition is called "Pay Attention. Here is how it works. Earlier today, on the memory wall, you had a chance to see images from competitions played this season. We're going to show them to you again, this time in motion. Right now, I need you all to watch the screen closely. Pay attention to everything that you see." Scenes of previous BB challenges were shown in motion on the plasma screen.

JAMES WINS HoH

Meanwhile back in the house, a very happy James starts snacking. After six days on slop, he checked in the DR, and as HoH he's allowed real food. Everyone is pleased that tonight at midnight, they will all be allowed food, until tomorrow's food challenge. Here's James after his HoH win: See the Video

6:12PM BBT: Howie and Danielle talking in the gym. Danielle was nervous at the HoH competition. Janelle enters and she says she was guessing the answers cause she didn’t know half of them. Danielle said his heart was thumping. Danielle cant wait to be able to eat and she will have to work out all week. She said she told James to leave Sarah’s scarf (his good luck charm) because he was enamored with all the love and couldn’t concentrate. James cooking for the non-slop eaters: See the Video

Marcellas is very quiet. He is in the red room fiddling with clothes. James is in the SR looking in the fridge. He says to himself. “I don’t know what to eat. I'm starving but I don’t know what to eat.” Seems happy with himself for winning a HoH. He goes back to the kitchen.

6: 23PM BBT: Danielle joins Marcellas and Janelle. They are talking about the HoH competition. Danielle said that Alison would have been good at that competition because she has a photographic memory. Chit chatting about the questions

Marcellas shows his eviction shirt to Danielle. Danielle says that competition was a woman's comp. Marcellas says that the females need to start winning competitions because he is going to be left with all the men going after the gay guy.

Erika joins Janelle and Marcellas. Marcellas talking about clothes and showing a belt to Erika. Marcellas says he can’t wait to eat. He feels like he is dieing from the Inside out. He also asks if he was too bigger bitch to the boss's wife (Julie). Erika says they will wake up in AM and Marcellas will be gone. The memory wall will have been changed and it will be like he was never there.

George and Howie are laughing at the fact they were so quickly eliminated from the game. Howie said he didn't even know which way to turn the lever, so he just guessed.

6:56PM BBT: Danielle, Howie, Will and Boogie in gym. Boogie and Will not talking much. Danielle and Howie are discussing the next HoH competitions and when the next endurance one will be. Howie thinks the next challenge will be something with a target, like shuffleboard, and the week after that will be endurance.

Other feed on Diane unpacking, Kaysar on bed, and James on couch with Erika. James asks Diane if she thought she would be staying. Diane says that she thought it was going to be a tie. James said Nakomis looked shocked.

Seven-something, PM: James, Marcellas, Kaysar and Erika are in Red room: Kaysar (joking): "Rumor on the street Chicken George could be hosting Housecalls.

Meanwhile, out by the pool: Boogie: "I am amazed at how little Jase works out." Will: "I am a doctor and I cant understand it ." They try to figure out who James will nominate. Will reminds Boogie that he (Will) has to get back to his work. The know how much James hates Chicken George and the fear he might put Will on the block with the Chickenman. "I got to go. We can't have this conversation next week." Will says. Despite all the mudslinging, Will and Boogie admit that the BB6ers are really good at the challenges. Boogie says James must know the BB6ers are going to cut him loose soon and James could really stir things up with the right nominations, Will thinks permanent immunity might get James to really rock the house with his choices..

8:45PM BBT: James gets his room, and it's all decorated in red and black. James got peanut M&Ms, wine and diet Dr. Pepper, pictures of Sarah, among other things. Everybody comes up to see his room, and in a few minutes the house is divided again, with the BB6ers in the HoH room and everyone else on the patio wondering what James agenda will be.

In the HoH room, James is already talking nominations and James has Chicken George set in his sights. James wants to get Will alone to see what he's really thinking, to see if he's serious about wanting to be put up and voted out.

Will goes up to talk to James. Will says he rally likes the show, he just feels this season isn't up to par, and he definitely can't go to sequester. There's seven in the jury, so there's five more that will go out. James tells Will that he doesn't feel like doing anyone else's work. Will asks who he's thinking of putting up, "Well I never tell who my nominations are-- well, I've never been HoH. Look there's a person here that drives me up the wall, I just can't stand-- well it's Chicken George." He feels that when you ask the floaters who they'd put up, they always say Chicken George, because they can say him and be neutral, "If you take that option away from them, it forces them to pick a side."

9:30PM BBT: James has concerns about Boogie, Will assures him that Boogie's targets might be Howie and Janelle, but not James. [On Tuesday, Boogie said James is a snake and his number one target, yesterday, he did mention Howie and Janelle as targets yesterday.] Will is pissed and venting to James because Will says he was promised over and over and over again by the producers that this season was going to be amped up great and it isn't at all as good as Will had hoped, so we went to fire during Will's rant. See the Video Part 1 See the Video Part 2 See the Video Part 3

Back on the subject of Chicken George, "Look he's 47 and doesn't have a lot of assets..." Will says,

and James says, "So the jury would vote for him over anyone. Everyone sees Chicken George as this nice old guy, I don't."

Next, James talks to Diane about the nominations. Chicken George helped Diane out, and she kinda likes him now, but will do what's best. See the Video

10:00PM BBT: Pizza Arrives! The mood of the house instantly changes. Everyone enjoys some pizza, except for George who's outside doing his laps. Pizza Video. [Would hate to have put my hands in their way..

] Video here

11:20PM BBT: James talks to Danielle. Danielle says she can't vote against Chicken George, she promised, and Chicken George isn't a threat to anyone because he can't win HoH, or PoV. James tells her what he said to Will and Diane, which is, "If we don't get him out this week, he's in the final two." Danielle says that's not true and there are too many other targets out there. Of course Danielle wants Marcellas out "He's been coming across as shady. I prefer he's gone over Chicken George." and she feels Jase is more of a threat than Chicken George could ever be. Danielle challenges James with logic and strategy, James responds with: "He doesn't do anything, he's fuckin' worthless, I hate him." Danielle warns him that you do want to let personal feelings influence your decisions. "Remember, you've got to pick three, you've got four choices: Marcellas, Chicken George, Jase, Erika." See the Video

James has been upset all week because Janelle "Threw him under the bus." by telling Jase information given to her by James and crediting the info to James. Danielle plants the seed into James head that now could be the time to get rid of Howie or Janelle. James pops the cork on his bottle of wine to have drink with Danielle, and Janelle enters. The three discuss discuss George, Janelle thinks he is annoying but is he a threat. Others seem to think he is a waster of a nomination. Danielle says she can’t vote CG out; the deal they made was she can’t vote him out until after he is on the block once because he voted her to stay with Alison. James asks Danielle if he and Janelle can chat alone. James said he feels he can't put up Jase because he never disagreed with Janelle when they were both HoH. Video Here

Janelle and James: Janelle wants to know what Will had to say. James says that will just doesn’t seem to care. Janelle asks James who is the best player from CT. He says Jase. Janelle says that Jase is the type of person to get off the block and come after you. James thinks he is coming after him anyway so, “Big deal.” James is aggravated the way some people in the game are thinking. Some thinking final 3, some thinking week to week and some thinking it’s a team sport. Janelle said if she got HoH she would put up Cg and Jase is one of them go off the block she would put up Boogie. James talks about Kaysar’s deal with CT. Janelle said it was only if CT got HoH not if SOV6 got it. Janelle thinks Jase is the biggest threat to them, Marcellas hate him but he isn’t a target for anyone else. Janelle asks James about the talk he had with Diane. James encourages her to try and talk to Diane. [They have history from outside the house because of something Diane posted on a site and that Diane wouldn’t accept Janelle’s apology.] Janelle says she is trying. Janelle goes to send up Erika. Video here

11:30PM BBT: James had a meeting in HoH with Erika. They talked about who James should put

up. They specifically discuss CG and Jase. Erika wants CG to go, but she tells James she'll vote however the HoH wants. James says he wants to get out a floater. Then he says, not her, he doesn't really see her as a floater. James tells E he doesn't want to do other people's jobs for them and go after CT. He goes over the votes if he puts up CG and Will and seems certain that CG would go. Video Part 1 - Part 2

11:50PM BBT: James meets with Marcellas. James tells Marc that he wants to keep the big targets in the game and go after floaters!! Marcellas doesn't look thrilled and says maybe the floaters should join together and try and create something. James says he is considered a floater too. They discuss CG and Marcellas says he would vote out CG over Will. Video Part 1 and Part 2

James then had a meeting in HoH with CG. CH conversation was vague essentially he said was if he's not nominated, that he will remember it. Then James said that he can see CG feels he's going to be nominated and just wants to get the heck out of the HoH room. Then CG told James that if he stayed he would vote for James in the end (assuming he makes it to sequester). Video Here

1AM ish BBT: James meets briefly with Jase in the HoH room. He asks Jase not reveal the conversation to anyone. James says to Jase that he's safe and will not be nominated this week. Jase said he appreciated that. James then said that he hope the favor will be returned. Jase said he thinks it will be. He tells Jase that some of the HG are after him but never gave names. Video Here

Meanwhile, Janelle and Kaysar are in the hammock talking strategy. Then talk about CG and Jase

and CT. They determine the best thing to do is to get out Jase. (Ironic that the two conversations were going on at almost the exact same time.)

James is called to the DR.

Everyone is playing volleyball in the BY and or watching from the outside couches, except Jase who is making a Happy B-Day shirt for Callie. After DR James joins the volleyball game.

Diane and Jase have a quick meeting in the red room. Jase tells Di that James said he's safe. Diane said James pretty much said the same thing to her. They are both pleased about it. Jase starts to get into detail about what James said but they both seem paranoid that someone might catch them together. Jase quickly stops and says, "We'll talk about this after nominations." Jase goes. A couple minutes later Jase and Diane pass each other when no one else is around and Di says, "Mr. Smith." Video Here.

1:27AM BBT: Everyone is still eating and they are mostly outside and the fed hamsters are happy and playing games. Marcellas said that he thought this was his season and when did he become a co-star. He also says that he thought it would be he and Kaysar final 2 with them figuring out that they are in love with each other. Erika immediately jumps in and reminds them all that Kaysar is in love with her. Something she proclaims many times a day. Kaysar says how do you know I am not in love with someone else and neither of you two. At some point Marcellas says, do you mean to tell me that this is going to be fun now. He is serious as everyone is happy and playing together and laughing and getting along. He follows that statement with, “Tomorrow is gonna suck and goes right back to the bitching. Boogie isn’t outside, either is CG. CG went to bed right after he got out of HoH.

Jase spent a long time with pink fingernail polish and a t-shirt, making a shout out to Callie, his girlfriend’s daughter for her birthday the 24th, which is also Sara's birthday.

2:35AM BBT: Kaysar, Janelle, Howie, Marcellas, Dani, Erika outside, talking about nothing. Kaysar saying he's been in a funk for 3 weeks. He says jokingly he's gonna take a DOR (Drop On Request). Howie says, you were in power, we're still in power and you're not on food restriction! Discussion veers to BB6.

Meanwhile, Janelle and Marcellas in bathroom area. Marcellas asks Janelle who she thinks will go up. She says probably CG and a member of CT. Talk turns to Jase. Marcellas says they should have made a deal with him "separate from the 4 and anyone else in the house" because they could beat him in the end. Marcellas goes on to say that Jase turned back to that "frat boy thing." Marcellas opens bathroom door and says, "How funny would it be if I opened this and a member of CT was sitting there."

3:00AM BBT: Dani, Kaysar and Howie in BY talking about sequester. Danielle says she'd rather go home than go to sequester, but if she were in sequester she would vote for whomever she thought played the best game. Howie pipes in and says he thinks James is playing the best game so far. Danielle asks why. Howie says cause he's picking up cross talk. Kaysar and Danielle think everyone is doing that. Danielle says, "It's just that James is on your side so he's bringing that information to you." Other players are doing the same with whoever they're with. Then Howie says Jase is also playing a good game cause he's being anonymous. Dani: You mean he's a floater? Howie Yeah.

Dani says she would never vote for a floater to win. Danielle says "the winner will consist of strategy, winning competitions and luck." She thinks Drew was a worthy BB winner because he did what was best for him. Next they talk about Will and how brazen he was in his season lying to everyone and telling them he was going to lie, then still winning in the end.

3:30AM BBT: Kaysar, Danielle and Howie talking about Nakomis and Diane. Kaysar says he believed Nakomis was in line with their (BB6s) objectives. Danielle says with Nakomis you have to listen very carefully because the way she words things so cleverly she can tell you the truth but still leave herself a loophole. Howie says, "She would have went one week with our objective then went back to her game plan. (Wow, Howie sure is more with it this season.)

Dani, Kaysar and Howie continue chatting. They switch topics a lot. Tomorrow is Dani's daughter's 18th birthday. Danielle says if she got kicked out of the house early she and her husband were going to take a trip to Spain.

4:11AM BBT: Kaysar and Danielle still outside chatting. They're talking about music. (I assume Howie went to bed.) Everyone else is long since asleep. Talk turns to sleep schedules. Kaysar says he used to get up to pray and stay up, but in the BB house he's been staying up to pray then going to sleep. Danielle says she only needs 4 to 5 hours of sleep, which is why she's always up early. Howie comes back out. Kaysar and Danielle both say, "I thought you went to bed." Howie is flossing.

Kaysar says he wants to get reacquainted with a regular schedule and wants Danielle to wake him up in the mornings. Kaysar says the only time he had a really good DR was the other day when they called him in at 5 o'clock in the morning. Kaysar says he asked what the heck they were doing (calling him in at 5am) and they said, "You're the one who's up."

"Good morning America, it's the Kaysar and Danielle show" Danielle and Kaysar decided to have their own morning show. They will do recaps of the goings on in the BB house. Danielle says they have to look like they just woke up. Danielle says they will get up in the mornings, get a cup of coffee, talk about nominations, make predictions, have guest stars.

Howie farts, prompting a long conversation about farting. Kaysar: "Howie goes to the bathroom, pees, then comes back, gets on my bed and farts." Kaysar says they should save this for a segment on their morning show.

4:30AM BBT: Danielle suggests the name BB Cafe for their new show. Kaysar says: "How about BB Cafe Cross talk with Kaysar and Dani" Danielle agrees. The three of them talk about how it feels like they've been in the BB house a lot longer than they have.

4:50AM BBT: Danielle "It's time for you to pray." Kaysar "I know. I was just trying to figure out what the drop is on the other side of that wall.” They agree that not tomorrow morning, but the next day they will start getting up early. Danielle leaves to go to bed. Kaysar puts away the leftover pizza then heads to the bathroom area where Howie is in the shower.

5:09AM BBT: Kaysar praying. Howie drying off. Video here. And at 5:17AM BBT: Feeds are all on sleeping people. Video Here
