Righ tnow, james/dani/will are outside. Erika just went back inside. Earlier, they did a close-up on the screen in the living room showing "Nominations Today" then went to flames shortly after. I think Boogie may be doing his thing with the key box now. No noms yet.

Boogie no longer has "the power". Well, that was a dud. Nice job on the "Coup d'Etat," Big Brother!

How intriguing that Boogie has nommed one person from each of his "alliances!" Talk about sitting on the fence!!

Just because Boogie 'says' he no longer has the Coup, that isn't necessarily the truth, he might just be scamming Danielle. I think he would privately tell Will the truth, though. Do we know for sure if the Coup power has been taken away?

The Coup power was for 3 evictions, two of which have already happened. He wouldn't need to use it for this eviction as he nominated them.

Boogie never needed to use it, not big BB fault.

He lost it by talking about it. It could have been used this week even if he is HOH. It would have been the perfect backdoor.

We don't know if he lost the power or not. I find it next to impossible to tell what is truth and what is fiction from their mouths. Until Julie Chen SAYS he lost the power, I will assume he still has it. Either way, it seems pretty much a moot point anyhow. Too bad 'cause it could have really shaken things up in the right circumstances.

this is why I believe he has lost the power: A) he's HOH, and theoretically cannot "overthrow" himself. The power was called Coup d'etat - which is to overthrow the person in power. &/or B) If the rule is that he's not allowed to discuss that he has the power (and just the fact that he always discussed it cryptically and "hypothetically" - even with Will, means that was the rule) - today he has said to Dani and Will "I can no longer use the power". That right there says HE had the power - which would be a violation of discussing HIS power. So even if he didn't violate it before, he did this morning. lol We wouldn't hear about it until the show, because we're not supposed to hear BB and production issues on the feeds. But they may also figure it's a non-issue at this point so why bother mentioning it on the show.

This is a post from the chat thread by Justin. hey guys.. got some gossip.. problem is figuring out what I can post without getting in trouble, or having people quoting what I post in emails to CBS complaining. Janelle's breakdown was part strategy. She WAS really sad, but just played up having a bad day. James was found to have broken the rules twice in the veto comp he's complaining about. They did a 3 hour review with the CBS execs, and lawyers from both CBS and Shapiro/Grodner, going over everything frame by frame. If anyone should've been disqualified, it's James. Janelle was fine and was simply stronger than James; they both reached for something at the same time and Janie was strong enough to get it. James apparently whined for 2-3 minutes, DURING THE COMP, while everyone else kept going, and it took 3 more minutes for anyone to find the next clue. Had James kept going he would've been fine and maybe could've won. There has been other blatant cheating going on (by other people who will remain unnamed) but if they can't get it on tape they cannot act on it (That's the rule, even if production SEES it, if it's not on tape they have to act as if it never happened, legally) One HoH recently had blatant cheating but they couldn't get the camera guys in the right angle in time to get it, while NOT missing the comp. But production knows what's going on now and is trying to catch it if it continues.

Can you give some examples of what might constitute blatent cheating by an HOH for those of us not that familiar with all of the BB rules? Much thanks

The suggestion has been that other players who were already eliminated from a competition may have been helping one of the remaining players answer questions by using hand signals or something similar. There has also been suggestion in the past of players trying to look at reflections in the glass to see what other players are answering. Those are a couple I've heard off-hand.

I don't understand how they could NOT get something on camera when there are cameras EVERYWHERE and the thing they're all focused on is the players in the competition. They should have ate least one camera on each HG and have plenty left over, shouldn't they? Especially at this stage of the game. Doesn't really matter. As Dani would say, it is what it is. James has a long established tradition of whining when things don't go the way he wants them to. The guy seems to love to be in control and the thing that bugs him the most about this game is that he CAN'T control all of it, or really, just about any of it.
