Never thought I'd become addicted to CBS' Big Brother again after a Season 1 rendezvous that saw a local boy (local to Dallas) with one leg win.

But, damn if I didn't get addicted again. Like heroin. It's a stronger addiction this time. The drug is thicker. Its buzz lasts longer, and don't you know the hangover might be a bitch. This All-Stars edition has had a little of everything -- either that -- or I am easily entertained.

The drama was such between ChillTown and the two chicks left in the house that I discussed with a colleague why Erika should win. The colleague agreed on the principle that Boogie (Mike) was just playin' her in their "showmance," which resulted in the affair seeming more like a "homance."

Really, considering the deceit in this game, surely it was but a "fauxmance."

Who's the most annoying guy in the room right now? Me. Yep. Me.

That's a reference to Will's tease of Janelle, when he says, "Who's the prettiest girl in Big Brother history?"

And, she is. Holy Minnesota, is that northern girl H-O-T.

However, because of Thursday night's episode, which I only got to watch late Friday (early Saturday, really), I've changed my mind. I'm pulling for Boogie on Tuesday night all the way.

Probably my greatest flaw in life is my loyalty. Not to employers. Hell, I've had, what, 10 so far in my career? I get bored easily. Way too easily. Not to women. Geez, I've had what, 22 girlfriends in the past six years? That's really a joke, although I did completely alienate one women I was "showmancing" by saying that I'd rather watch a Jets-Broncos game than go to the mall with her. I literally never saw her again.

No, I'm loyal to friends. I literally am that guy who would help you bury the body if you needed it done, although that's not totally true considering I'm more of the fourth level on Maslow's hierarchy. I'm the guy who must follow rules and laws. I'm freaking Les Nessman. But, I'd totally help you get a good attorney.

I actually felt sorry for Boogie because he didn't have his buddy Will there with him. And, I loved the resolve Mike had to get out there and kick ass in the final two HoH competitions given that he purposefully tanked the first one. Finally, I thought it was a no-brainer that he evicted Janelle given that she would have had votes sowed up from Season 6.

What I appreciated was the bond Boogie and Will have on the show. Loyalty, to me, is an extremely positive trait, even if blind loyalty is kind of a sucker's game. So, my rooting interest goes with Boogie, and I suspect he'll get the votes to win BB All-Stars.

I think he'll get Will for sure. Duh. But, I think he'll also get Janelle because she loves her some Will Kerby. That's 2.

Danielle said she would vote for the best player, and that's been Mike. Plus, Erica completely alienated her. That's 3.

Marcellas and Howie will be voting for Erika given their hatred of ChillTown. That's 3-2, Mike.

George has what I'd call a mancrush on the good Dr., as he called Will, so I'm guessing the chicken man will vote for Boogie, too, upping the count to 4-2.

That leaves James as a wildcard, and I honestly think HIS vote will go to Boogie also, given their at least loose Legion of Doom ties. So, my prediction is Mike wins Big Brother 7 by a 5-2 count.

Speaking of predictions, we have a weekend of football. Here are my predictions for the big games:

OU 27, Washington 10

OSU 23, Arkansas State 20

Tulsa 34, BYU 31

Ohio State 31, Texas 21

Dallas 19, Jacksonville 17

Finally, I want to leave you with, literally, what I recall from the last part of my dream this morning, before waking up. It was a dream about my D.C. buddy, JN, but not one of those dreams. I have those about you.

In the dream, I had received a phone call. It was from the U.S. government, and the recorded voice on the other end said, "Nobody likes to hear their friends are terrorists. Please give us a call to discuss ___________ _______________. We have reason to believe he is a Darwinist."

That's right, a Darwinist.

Why do I think that's probably where we're eventually headed? What an odd little dream.

Go Sooners. Go Buckeyes.
