Last night on Big Brother 7 All Stars, Mike Boogie from Season Two won the final head of household competition. He evicted Janelle, keeping Erika to face the jury. Next Tuesday we get to see the Jury Grilling, and the final vote.
The question is... did Erika throw the competition?
Have you been reading the Big Sister newsletters? Twenty-nine SECONDS after the show was over, I had email from Big Sis. She asked me, "Did she throw it?" And that, my friends, is the question of the evening!
I don't think anyone will ever know. This is the All Stars. One thing the All Stars can do is throw a competition without a mark ever showing.
Do you see the irony? Erika has beaten Janelle - and possibly Mike Boogie - with Will's strategy. Let me explain.
Will's strategy is to never win a competition. There is always a bigger, more urgent target to evict. Will surely holds the record for the most consecutive Head of Household competitions lost. Every competition this season had at least one person not trying to win. These are the All Stars, and losing the competition can be a strong strategic move.
Mike Boogie tried the Richard Hatch strategy. He was the wrong person to try that, at the wrong time in the wrong place. If Will were still in the house, he would have been the right person to step down from both the first and third phases. Janelle would take him (if Erika's gone, she'd still be under the Chill Town spell), and Boogie would take him. Will loses no votes by stepping down.
Erika promised Janelle to take her to the final two. Erika has no chance of winning the jury vote against Janelle. Neither has Mike Boogie. So what's the answer? Throw the competition to Mike. Let him evict Janelle. I think she has about a 50/50 chance of winning over Mike. So... did Erika throw it? I don't know. But $450,000 says we'll always think she probably did. Way to throw, Erika!
I think we'll most likely see a four-to-three jury vote. It could go either way. We could have Marcellas, Howie, and James throwing their "Janelle" vote against Mike and therefore towards Erika. Will votes for Boogie. George votes for Boogie if Will asks him to. Danielle votes against Erika. That splits the jury three to three with Janelle the deciding vote.
At first I was thinking Howie would probably vote for Boogie because Howie's in love with Will. But Howie is more in love with Jedi Janie. He'd want to know who did this to her. Boogie evicted her, and therefore he'll vote for Erika. I'm not sure it would occur to Howie that Erika maybe threw the competition for that reason.
The Chill Town strategy was far more respected than the floater strategy, which gets Boogie more potential votes. But Erika may get points for busting Will who controlled the game from before day one, and Janelle the unbeatable competitor. I call it a straight-up 50/50 chance, with Mike Boogie having the slight edge. We have Will on the jury still pulling for Mike, and Erika has no real friends on the jury at all.
I'm thinking of comparing Mike Boogie to Cowboy and to Lil of the Outcast Tribe of Survivor. None ever should have won the final competition. But that's not fair to Mike. He won when he needed to win. He is an All Star. Will and Mike proved to be the unshakeable unbeatable pair who controlled the entire game. Chill Town faltered in the end game, but Chill Town absolutely earned the right to be in the end game.
Tonight Erika opened the possibility that she and Mike Boogie might just be the secret Mister and Missus Smith alliance. An absolutely secret alliance overthrows Will and makes it to the final two? How cool is that? We'll never know if Mike and Erika were secretly aligned before they entered the house. We'll never know if Chill Town had population three all along. We'll never know if Mike and Erika conspired to split the winnings. We'll never know if Erika threw the final competition.
In my opinion......
