Big Brother 7: All-Stars

Wow! That's all I can say about Boogie in last night's episode. He proved that he can take malicious to a whole new level. Everyone already knew he was a jerk for evicting our Season 6 favorites, manipulating the "Legion of Doom" and intimidating George into evicting Howie, but this time Boogie has reached an all new low.

In the episode, Boogie stated in the harshest possible terms that he had no interest in Erika and even made comments about her being old and looking less than stunning. Of course, all this was inter-cut with diary room footage of Erika talking about how much she loved him and how she hoped to one day have a baby with him. On top of that, BB also showed us more than plenty of scenes of Boogie and Erika fooling around under the sheets. I can't stand Erika, but I think it's really, really wrong for Boogie to maliciously exploit her and make her look like a common whore on TV.

Even worse than that--actually, nothing is worse than telling a girl you love her and want to have a baby with her and then calling her old and ugly on national TV--but adding to that horrible scene, the final four houseguests were sitting in the hot tub and Will was suggesting that they have a baby. It seemed like a joke, but Erika took it very seriously. Now it seems like even Will thinks they're in love, something that will no doubt make Erika fall for Boogie even more. On top of that, I'm down right worried about what she might do. The girl's crazy in love with him, she just might try to have his baby and he might go with it just to make BB history. He wants to be the first person to knock up a chick in the BB house. That would be so vile and creepy of him that it should constitute a crime. Still, I wouldn't put it past him.

Boogie admitted in the diary room that Erika would be "very hurt" when she found out about all the horrible things he's said about her and how much he's used her in the house. He pretended to feel a bit guilty about his behavior, but that didn't seem to stop him. In fact, the thought of absolutely crushing Erika and possibly ruining her life actually seemed to excite him. That was what was so disturbing for me, the fact that he knew he was going to destroy this girl and he was actually stoked on it. It would be different if he really did like her and then got out of the house and was over her. Instead, he aims to cruelly exploit her and even implied that he would get her pregnant if it meant he would win the game.

The problem, at least in my view, is that Boogie is convinced what he's doing with Erika is no different than what Will does with Janelle. Will exploits Janelle and uses her crush on him to get her to do his dirty work in the game. He flirts with her and then claims to not really be into her when he's in the diary room. He even lies to her about the final two, just like Boogie and Erika. Still, when Will does these things to America's Buxom Blonde Sweetheart, he never does it with the intention to hurt her, only to get farther in the game. Also, Will tells her flat out, "I have a girlfriend, I'm not into you." It's Janelle's own ego (and a rightfully earned ego at that--she's gorgeous!) that makes her believe she can have any man she wants, including Will, as long as she turns up the charm. Janelle likes the fact that she has to pursue Will and she knows that Will is a challenge. She's not under the impression that after the show, she and Will will get married and have a baby. Another difference is that, as she said a million times, Janelle has also been playing Will to get farther in the game. They're the two greatest competitors in BB history and they're having an epic battle to see who is really more of a bad ass manipulator. They're both playing each other and they're being open about that to each other, so neither one is being completely blind-sided by the other. Mike Boogie, on the other hand, is toying with Erika in a very hurtful and mean-spirited way that only shows what a complete jerk he is.

I really hope that Erika is ok after the show, because this is probably the harshest thing I've ever seen on BB in all 7 seasons. I can't imagine what it'll be like for her to get out and find that Boogie not only lied to her about the game, but also completely fabricated his feelings for her and said terrible things about her behind her back all while he was claiming to love her. That situation will definitely be very ugly...especially considering he knew what he was doing and didn't stop.
