June 25 & 26, 2006 - Pre-season >> to the future >> to the past >> daily index >> latest HamsterWatch episode >> linkage What was that, James? In his "Early Show" video today (linked below), James introduces himself with "I was the 27-year-old philosophy teacher from Atlanta".. huh?? Last year his CBS stats card read 29, Atlanta, Loss prevention manager; this year it's 30, Miami, Loss prevention manager.. so he not only got younger but he changed professions.. in fact, teacher was what he told the others in the house he was - a lie that came back to bite him by making them all doubt his credibility when he finally fessed up I think that's a clue that he's going to play exactly the same if he gets in this year: lying whether it helps his gameplan or not.. which means the boards will be running amok again from stuff he says without stopping to question it Actually James has been playing the game for several weeks already.. his site has been hopping with activity - chats, interviews, etc - and he's been participating.. the associated reality sites that run it also appear to run sites for Dana, Erika, and Ivette (along with non-BB7ers Jun, Rachel and of course Sarah).. they also show Danielle although her links go nowhere.. another site (possibly affiliated? I don't know) has endorsed a James/Erika/Howie ticket The James Gang seems to be behind the juggernaut of auto-voting that's keeping him solidly behind Kaysar & Janelle at the top of the list with Erika & Howie just after him.. Kaysar, Janelle & Howie have solid fan bases so no surprises there.. James holding at #3 is very likely due to his guerrilla web campaign successfully at work, especially since many other sites are power voting all over the map.. nobody can quite fathom why Erika's numbers are staying so strong, so it seems likely that the James Gang is indeed power voting her numbers into the millions Whether or not Howie or Danielle have fallen in with James "for real" or not remains to be seen, but it looks as if Erika may owe James something if she gets in.. maybe her alliance won't be so secret this time or with an under the radar guy (if the others are paying any attention at all, that is) Also, Alison used some interesting wordage on her site the other day: "I've decided to join Erika, Dana and James in their chat".. decided seems an odd word to use there to me.. it has a tone of her having made a bigger choice than just doing a chat Incidentally, the associated sites behind James, Erika, et al are the ones who had "official" leaks last year - things like pics of them inside the house before the feeds came on - they've not had that kind of scoop this year, but if the James Gang ends up getting the kind of editing that Eric/Maggie had last year, I may be questioning things Speaking of Alison, now she's put up yet another "unusual" banner for Mary Carey-style campaign: Rounding out the pack, Cowboy's gotten himself a site now.. it's been added along with Dana's site and Monica's MySpace to the candidate roll call posted the other day as will any others that show up as we go I still can't get Ivette's site to open, but I think it's funny that search engine keywords in its code begin with "James Rhine, Ivette Corredero" (in that order).. it also shows James as its copyright holder, and its title for search engine spiders is "James Rhine's Official Web Site".. oh yea, he's a cagey one thanks Big Brother Keyhole for Dana's and Liz for Monya's link Welcome back
If you're just finding your way back here for the new season, be sure to go back and catch up so you'll be in the know for references that may well continue through September - there's plenty of time before the feeds & daily reports start - Hamsterwatch kicked in slowly for BB7 starting back in April with the now-requisite posting of the application for hamster hopefuls (which remains up at CBS) and its subsequent tossing out in favor of has-been hamsters You're already showing up here from all over the world - Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Brazil, and France to name a few, as well as the Netherlands, birthplace of BB.. site stats show that there also seem to be some Hamsterwatchers in the US government and the school system.. hmmm Going back you'll also find quite a few shameless begs for donations and pleas to please click on my banners.. I hate to be so mercenary here (let alone whiney) but without your guys' help I won't be able to take the summer off to follow the house and write up snarky commentaries for your perusal This year though, you can get something else for your dollars: for a few more days, I have a tie-dye shirt from BB6 up for sale on Ebay that was made & autographed by Janelle! I'm thrilled with the bidding so far and wonder if I dare to hope it goes higher This year you can also help support Hamsterwatch by signing up for your feeds here, starting with a RealOne SuperPass 14 day free trial that won't cost you a thing if you decide to cancel Be sure to read the users guide if you're new here (or not), and always check the daily linkage - lots of good sites in there that will evolve as we go, plus daily specials.. as always, huge thanks for your support and for visiting! It's too early for this The campaign trail is already littered with tacky debris.. I'm glad voting ends in a few days This was the home page of Alison's new site before she toned it down a bit.. some of the previously dead links work now and part of this pic remains on the site along with others that look like they could be found on "watch me on my webcam now!" type sites Her campaign banner, meant to be posted on fan sites and BB update pages like these, has a distinct flavor too: "Early Show" rallies have begun and will continue thru Wednesday.. here are direct (ad-free) links to the segment videos: Day 1 - Thursday 6/22 - Nakomis/Howie/Diane/George Day 2 - Friday 6/23 - Marcellas/Erika/Bunky/Lisa Day 3 - Monday 6/26 - Boogie/Monica/James/Janelle Day 4 - Tuesday 6/27 - Kaysar/Ivette/Jase/Alison Day 5 - Wednesday 6/28 - Danielle/Cowboy/Dana/Will, "12.5 million votes already cast" Not surprisingly, George is the most flamboyant so far, with a (scary) rap backed up by a mini-Boswell chicken, and attempts to upstage Julie in the crowd scene I'm pretty much staying out of the endorsement game - I have a few I'd like to see in there and a few I really don't want to see again, but I'll try to accept whoever gets thrown at us I'm staying away from the auto-bot voting frenzy too.. I figure it just gives CBS more numbers to bandy about and pretend they're legit votes.. Julie already gloated about vote numbers on both Thursday's & Friday's "Early Show" and I'm sure she'll keep it up through Wednesday Linkage Please click to help keep this site going this summer specials: RealOne SuperPass 14 Day Free Trial get your feeds here (or just a free trial) Kaysar tie-dye shirt made & signed by Janelle on Ebay - ends Wednesday Today's must-click specials: It's Aawwn checks in on the boys and girls on the list Daily linkage just highlights unique sites now - check the new links page for more Aldav first to find big news, all the edgy stuff & the best mini-recaps in town (adult content) Screencaps refresh site is back from bbfan Houseguest Tributes videos, quotes, pics from all seasons by BB's number one fan Attw x Househappenings in-depth Big Brother analysis by IA aka It's Aawwn Photochops by C=Venus - also try Destroy a Hamster by Johnbb Big Brother Keyhole peruse various BB sites in the same window, feeds too Reality TV Links - Big Brother 7 emphasis on individual hamsters' sites Sir LinksALot Big Brother 7 All Stars all the links Patrick's Place One-man BB show, 20+ streaming cams including his car Another 2 cents quasi-intellectual sleaze & radical gumbo aka blog - off for the summer RealOne SuperPass 14 Day Free Trial Using this link helps support Hamsterwatch, thanks CBS Big Brother 7 the official site, plus Housecalls live weekdays 10am BB/1pm ET CBS Innertube same-day Housecalls and next-day air show replays Hamsterwatch Big Brother 7 Navigation tool for that dingo's daily recaps on this site Hamsterwatch MySpace Hamsterwatch on YouTube BB6 & BB7 videos off the feeds BB7 Park by TD South Park-inspired versions of the goings on No time-out feeds links Easy how-to plus Real phone numbers Big Brother Top 100 all seasons, many countries - Hamsterwatch is #1 wow!!
