BB Housecalls (Sarah and James call in).

Those Fishbowl interviews (links below) are an excellent source of behind the scenes info - I am going to see if they would be ok with me 'transcribing' them - or at least quoting major parts - some of the things I learned from the Janelle interview....

Janelle did indeed get her robe from Barefoot Dreams (see link below) - she specifically mentioned the site by name when Josh asked her about it.

Janelle and Beau had a knock-down drag out in the sequester house.

One rumor was that Ivette didn't want to go to NY to Regis & Kelly with Maggie - according to Janelle she was told that Regis & Kelly said they would only interview Maggie if she came along as well.

Janelle said she applied for BB - so she wasn't one of those 'cast' - she also knows Hardy (BB2) and has watched every year of BB from BB2 on.

Lastly...  Janelle is out surfing the net.... can't say much more on that yet - I hope she stops by here at some point and checks out my site ;)

A couple of  things I have learned today (didn't look up anything on BB all weekend)....
Ashlea left sequested due to an illness in her family.
Big Brother has been picked up for another season.

Here are a couple more things from the BB6 Wrap Party.....
Wrap Party Pics from TVGasm.com
Wrap Party description - by the guy that made a fake Michael Blog.

9/23/05  I had a request from someone to post this info related to the robe that Janelle brought with her into the house.  Other HGs were jealous of it and some folks have tracked it down and bought it for themselves and apparently love it (no - I am not one of them - lol).  It ain't cheap folks - but if you want the same robe Janelle has you can order it via this link: Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Adult Robe - and if you use the coupon code "janelle" (no quotes) you get 10% off (and no - I am not getting paid anything for posting this). Just found a picture from Janelle dated 7/18 - I do think that is the robe she has on.... (Janelle has since verified that Barefoot Dreams is indeed where she got her robe).

Ivette has had lots of second thoughts - her girlfriend has filled her in and she has said repeatedly that she would have made different alliances if she were to do it again.  She has apologized for a lot that she said.  She still believes Janelle would have beat her had she taken her to the final 2 and ya know what - she is probably right - but we will never know.

Maggie has taken TONS of hits and honestly folks at this point I think people should just lay off.  The sho wis over.

Janelle is coming out smelling like a rose - as are the others from the "Sov 6."  There are rumors that Janelle said she voted for Ivette by mistake (Which didn't make a difference in the end).

Jennifer is probably getting the worst of it besides possibly Maggie - and I think April isn't far behind.

That all said - on with the links (culled from TVClubhouse):

Oh - this is classic - not sure WHY exacly James was doing this- but check out this picture - (I cropped the other hand but it looked the same - just turned to the side.

9:50am  Feeds are still 'working' - but this is all you see now (see below) - I will be posting info on how to 'cancel' your Real Player subscription later today.  Off the top of my head it usually involves a phone call - you can't just do it online - but it is still pretty painless.

7am And now the aftermath.....  some brief thoughts and info - my internet connection is majorly screwed up so updates will be few (not that there is a "ton" to add yet). 

The feeds were actually still running at 6am this morning - just the fishcam.

I will be posting at least one 'first hand' account of the live show by someone who was there - hopefully later today.  HERE IT IS

I watched Maggie and Ivette on the Early Show with Julie - note to Maggie - STOP calling your alliance "The Friendship"  it really does sound 'cultish' - anything would be better.  Ivette sounds like she got some advice from her girlfriend and she is re-evaluating some of the 'friends' she had in the house.

Hmmmmmm.......  I think that's it for now - I am still not happy with Maggie winning - I wanted Ivette to win (having to choose between the two).  Some of the HGs are going to be on "housecalls" today (Macella's internet show) - that might be interesting.  On a side note I have managed to download last week's housecalls and burn them to DVD - pretty cool (and a bit involved) - its not crystsal clear quality but considering the original images are pretty small it doesn't look to bad on the TV.

Ivette looked like she wasn't very happy - can't blame her - I still think she deserved the $$ over Maggie.

No more "BRB" ont he fishcam.

7pm  I moved my final show recap - HERE.

6pm  Well folks - I think that wraps it up for the live feeds - the FISH are on but that will probably end as soon as the show is over.  Ivette looks REALLY good tonight in my opinion.  I am rooting for her to win it all (I decided that a couple days ago - I figgure she took more risks than Maggie so deserves to win).  This was one of the last images in the hous e- Maggie and Ivette were playing cards silently when the feeds went to fishcam at just before 6pm.

5:30pm  30 minutes until the final show....

4:40pm Ivette and Maggie killin time.....  Maggie reports she is doing ok - but there are times when she gets jittered (in relation to the show I guess).

2:20pm  Ivette took a 30 minute shower - Maggie ironned......   the show begins in about 3 1/2 hours.  I will post a re-cap as I watch it - but I get it an hour late where I live (grumble).

12:45pm  Both are up and about - Maggie just said 4 hours to go (a bit more than that Maggie - live show is at 6pm tonight).  It is still raining out in BB land but sounds like it might be clearing up.
 

Ivette carries in a load of laundry.	Foot fetish anyone? Ivette removes nail polish.

7am This is it - the final day....  and lookie - it's raining.....  I think I know a couple people going to the live show tonight - I'll post their reports later tonight or tommorow - today all I can guess is will be a bit of  housecleaning - and hmmm walking in the rain?  Ivette and Maggie sound asleep - here are a couple pictures from Cam 2 which seems to be capturing the weather today.

11:20am  The gals got up some time after 10 and before 10:45 - they are now walking laps (yet again) in the backyard.  here is a pic of part of the puzzle they are working on.

7:40pm  Walk... walk walk.....  and talk..... 
Maggie tells Ivette that she knew the first night there were 7 pairs because James called Sarah "Babe" twice and she overheard Rachel tell Howie to get off the surfboard. She said she told Eric right away.  She didn't figgure all the pairs out right away - says she figgured out Janelle and Ashlea when Janelle said they needed to get rid of Kaysar.  Just general talk about the others.....  April was a gossip.....  Ashlea seemed like she would have liked to laugh more.... 

BB gave them a puzzle to do as well as Dominos and Uno (Uno for 2 people isn't very fun - lol).

2pm  Nothing new to report other than they didn't sleep well and there is was still apparently a lot of noise outsde - but there wasn't anything in the back yard so perhaps they are building a set-up for the live show on Tuesday somewhere nearby?  I don't recall them having an audience since BB1 (remember - they used to walked the evictees to a sound-stage nearby).  Ivette and Maggie are just re-hashing over and over again the hour and fifteen minutes they spent getting questioned.

 

7:20am  The Jury questioning was from around 10pm until 11:15pm - both ladies were pretty bothered after it.  Ivette thinks only Beau and James will vote for her - Maggie feels everyone implied she was not a strong player.  Some people asked Ivette how it felt to give away $450,000 (by not taking Janelle) and why she didn't put her family first (since she said she always did that and it would seem that picking Maggie over Janelle was a sure way NOT to win for her family.  More later today - they sat up until something like 3am re-hashing this stuff - so they spent 3 1/2 hours going over an hour's worth of quesitons - lol.

8:45pm  The Jury questioning might have finally begun - there is fish on all 4 feeds - I'm not sure why it would be happening - but Ivette and Maggie think something is being built out back. 8pm  The Jury questioning has not begun yet - but it will be tonight. 6:40pm  Check that - Maggie was apparently just in the DR for a regular session - Ivette had been in before her.  SO I guess the Jury has yet to interview them both.  Right now it is fish. 6:30pm  I think Maggie has been in with the Jury in the Diary Room - but sh eis out now - trying to listen to see if that is indeed what has been going on. 4pm  The Jury will be questioning the HGs this afternoon - right now Ivette and Maggie are walking laps in the backyard.

Free 14 Day Trial!!!! Free 14 Day Trial!!!!

I have to chuckle a little - I had 2 mail messages that seemed to be in reply to my 'Dear CBS' note when I just checked - and here they are in part..

What a bunch of BULL!  82% of fans don’t care?!  Come on the best two women are sitting there right now waiting for the money!  I was agonizing seeing that nasty, hateful, witch Janelle every week and we had a great celebration when she got the BOOT!  The reason Janelle has so many fans is because of the overall downfall of society in general when a nasty person like her can be more popular than a nice REAL person like Maggie!

I know I cannot stand the friend ship they suck they are mean and I will not watch the final. I hope CBS gets the lowest rating for this show of all time. Why? Because from what I have heard or even seen on the talk show no one likes these two women and no matter what Maggie said to Jannie it was all for a vote. Ivette is the most arrogant of all contestants although she has nothing on Allison from BB4.

Interesting to see both points of view.

12:15pm  Both are up and about - getting some sun.  Ivette helped Maggie dye her hair this morning.  Their conersations are just about how they played, what others thought....  there is just not a lot to note from here until at least after the Jury questions them - which will either be tommorow or Monday.

7pm  Ah well - Ivette won the third part after two tie-breakers and evicted Janelle.  I'll have to see how these two act in the house to see if Ivette is actually going to fight for the 500k or do what she said earlier which was to tell the Jury to give it to Maggie.  I'm bummed - the last show is not going to be near as interesting to me now. 

5:15pm  Yes the live show is on - no - I am not watching it yet.....  I have to wait untip 6pm - so for now you will just have to wait if you are looking for spoilers - I want to watch it myself to see who goes.  Hope you understand!!  :)

2:15pm  Lockdown is over - they will just be getting ready for the rest of the day is my guess - don't forget the 2nd to last show is tonight.  If Janelle is booted the love fest in the house might make it hard for me to watch.....  lol

1:30pm  Ok - they have been practicing for tonight's show - sounds like Janelle and Ivette did a dry run of the Part 3 of the HoH comp for the camera's (they don't ask the same questions - its all for timing and getting the lighting right).  Maggie said she wished she was playing.  They are locked down in the HoH room - playing cards.

12pm  A lot of fishcam today - either BB is playing music to keep the ladies entertained or perhaps they are rehearsing for the live show already. OR maybe there is some big twist on the way.......  NAAAAAA!!! lol

6:20am Everyone is sleeping - Nothing of big note after my last comment below - it all comes down to tonights competition between Janelle and Ivette - I am very sure that either Janelle or Maggie is walking out tonight - I think Ivette will make the final two - either by winning or by Janelle taking her with her if she wins.
