LAST EDITED ON 08-25-06 AT 02:04 PM (EST)No one posted anything from the live feeds after my last post yesterday ... I missed some, but here's what happened later:
Dani and Janie tried to explain what happened in Season 6 to Will and Boogie, who didn't seem to get it at first. Dani says that Kaysar forced everyone into an alliance against the Sovereign 6; she said Arnold (Shapiro, the exec. producer) figured Eric would be the star among home viewers by being a fireman, especially against the Iraqi kid (Kaysar) -- but it went the opposite way. Janie says that the Nerd Herd was so mean toward everyone, especially her, that she became popular. Jani: "The Nerd Herd was a herd of sheep looking for a shepherd."
Everyone talks about Howie's boot some more. Apparently what CBS showed was an edited version of what really happened. (For example, at one point James got between Howie and Boogie to try to calm things down.)
Boogie says the producers threatened to pull his coup power because he was telling Will too much. Finally, they told him they were going to assign someone just to watch him full-time. Then flames (as Arnold apparently wants to keep us from knowing even more.)
Will gives Boogie instructions to showmance Erika and try to get her to put up Dani or at least share the "banana bread." Erika says that Boogie has Will, but if Dani goes she has no one. She says Dani will take her to the final 2 <Me: and she's right for a change>. She says she's going to put up CG and Janie, and if Janie gets PoV, she'll put up Will. (No problem for CT, since they'll boot CG with the 2-1 edge regardless, but Erika doesn't know that.) Boogie asks her about agreeing to share the prize; if she does, he'll take her to the final 2. No answer.
Will says to the camera, "My future in this game is dependant on Boogie's ability to showmance Erika, and that's scary because he farts on her."
And that's pretty much it. Oh, Dani moves into James' old bed so she can overhear Will and Janie's whisperings.
