I FINALLY watched the finale episode.

The diary entries were great. Will and Mike are hilarious! However, I was really looking forward to watching Alison tell Erika about how Mike had been playing her all along. I heard about this and couldn't wait to watch it. Yet, the look on Erika's face didn't make it seem that she was all that surprised that Mike was simply using her. From the way I saw it, I'd say she pretty much knew. It was funny and pretty bad when Mike realized he won and just got up and left leaving Erika in the cold as if she didn't exist! He's right, he is going to hell! LOL. Chill Town and Janelle are the ultimate winners, and I can't say I'm disappointed.

Friends and family cheer on Mike “Boogie” Malin while watching Big Brother All Stars at Cheers in Concord last night. Malin finished first and won the show’s top prize: $500,000.

M

ike "Boogie" Malin, a scheming Concord native who sported "603" T-shirts and offered New Hampshire shout-outs throughout the show's three-month run, was voted the winner of the reality television show Big Brother All-Stars last night.

As Malin cajoled the judges and awaited news of the final vote, a large, enthusiastic crowd of relatives and supporters gathered at Cheers in Concord to, well, cheer him on.

Sheryl Cheney, clutching a homemade placard and bouncing up and down in front of the television, shouted when she learned that her husband's cousin had won. "I told you he was going to win,"she said, turning to another exultant relative. "I told you."

Before the big win of $500,000 last night, Malin had already won $15,000, a convertible (which he'd promised to his mother) and a trip for two to Aruba (which he said last night he'd probably give to his business partner). He'd also mentioned on the air that his family was watching the show at Cheers.

Malin, who left Concord about 12 years ago for California, owns a group of restaurants and bars in Los Angeles and Atlanta. This season was his second appearance on the television series. He fared less well in his first Big Brother season five years ago but was invited back, along with the winner of that season, to participate in this year's contest for the show's alumni.

---ADVERTISEMENT---

A core of about a dozen family members has been meeting at Cheers to watch the season unfold. With three episodes a week, it's been a bit of a commitment. Last night, more than 30 Malin supporters filled the back of the restaurant's first floor.

Kevin Rehm, the restaurant's general manager, said the Boogie contingent has been among his biggest regular groups. To commemorate the season finale, he invited family members to decorate their area with video stills from the series, and he gave them a tray of free appetizers.

After Malin mentioned Cheers on the air, Rehm said, "my phone was ringing off the hook."

On the show, contestants were sequestered in a house filled with cameras and no access to the outside world. Each week, through a complicated procedure, one cast member was voted off the show. Last night, Malin faced only Erika Landin, a Pilates instructor from Chicago with whom he'd had a strategic, sham romance that he called a "showmance." His win was decided by votes from the seven evicted cast members who had lasted the longest. Only one voted for Landin.

As the votes were read one at a time by the show's host, Julie Chen, the Malin supporters jumped, cheered and hugged each time his name was called. Landin's lone vote drew a boo.

Still, the biggest cheer came when a live shot showed Malin's parents, who flew out to Los Angeles for the taping.

"We're all his cousins - aunts, uncles, cousins, second cousins and third cousins," explained Terri St. Laurent, who had made the posters and placards and was organizing the signing of a Cheers T-shirt for Malin.

But Boogie's fan base stretched beyond his family tree. His relatives were joined by a handful of strangers, who'd heard Malin mention Cheers on the show and figured they ought to watch the finale there.

"I've just been obsessed with the show since he's been on it," said Jodie Martin, who drove from Goffstown to Concord for the event. Martin and a friend came sporting homemade "603 loves Boogie" T-shirts. "We have to vote for the local."

      I watched Monday's and Tuesday's episodes last night but feel asleep and missed most of Tuesday's episode. Still not happy certain characters weren't there. It makes no sense. It must be Days awful schedule of taping.

      Today was the day everybody recreated the flower ceremony from John and Marlena's 1999 wedding

      And once again, it was beautiful. I also couldn't help but laugh though when Brady brought up John's use of his eyebrow whenever he dealt with his kids or grandkids. It's little lighthearted moments like that, that really have helped make these episodes and this tribute so real and genuine. And even though they couldn't get Alison Sweeney back for John's memorial, I'm glad that they came up with the idea to have Eric read a letter from Sami. The way that the letter was written is pretty much what Sami would have said if she had made it back to say goodbye to John.  Marlena and Bo's eulogies were the ones that got me today. I seriously wonder if their's or anyone else's were scripted or improvised. And I agree Bo, John's huge heart and compassion was his true power.

      Yeah, right, they've got Cam playing Love2Hate Drew in extremis & they're not gonna play that hand out?!!!  I figure they use the prison beat-down for a redemptive phase but only when they think they've wrung every possible drop out of this absolutely odious every day villain they've created!

      Respectfully agree to disagree. We had 4 episodes with original flashbacks integrated well into contemporary scenes that were sweet, romantic, that resonated, that hit all the possible nostalgic chords & that shows me the writing team not only cares for these 2 characters but that they were really excited about writing for them. And, we also have the quote from Korte/VanEtten beginning of the year-ish that they considered Lucky & Liz a foundational couple for the canvas.  I thought Lucky's saying he didn't think he'd stay once she turned down his marriage proposal to be good character motivation. I also thought the idea of some summer travels with Aiden supports character integrity.  Going by his exit interviews, what's left is people & logistics/scheduling, etc. & there's no way a writing team can anticipate an actor taking an out in their contract ahead of time. They have to deal with it, in the moment, when it comes up & likely it's going to make a bit of a mess to whatever they have sketched out in the long story thrust.

      Your daily (or nightly) thought

      I had a driver taking me to Infusion the other day & we were talking about soaps. She was out of touch but had been a CBS fan, from TPIR, all day till Oprah. Telling her about BTG. What network? CBS. When: 2pm. Is it between ATWT & GL? Oh, girl, you are so behind. So, she was appalled when I briefly brought her up to date BUT she remained interested in hearing more about BTG, so that was a plus.  Last weekend I got a haircut so it is the way I like it, short & spiky but of course it's purple. Recently, I was waiting for my ride outside the Infusion Center & a woman comes up to me, about my age, short spiky hair but all white. She raves about my purple hair & says she is a pancreatic cancer survivor & purple is that color (which I knew) and she is thinking going purple but doesn't know where to start. So I tell her about Splat, no bleach req'd, easy, etc. & she's getting excited & my driver pulled up, & stuck her head out & said, Donna? & she had purple hair, too! I felt like we were in a purple vortex. It was both lovely & surreal.

      We saw Hope, with Bo, where she revealed John's death to him & he immediately wanted to leave for Salem & we saw the two of them talk to a doc or an admin about whether he would be allowed to be discharged yet.  Someone, maybe Will, talked to Sami on the phone and at the airport Sydney had taken a fall, sounded like she was on a moving sidewalk, and had at least 2 breaks & was scheduled for some kind of orthopedic surgery.  Since it is clear that Sweeney cannot or will not be available, again I say  it is time to recast.  Wasn't Carrie lock-step with Belle the whole time? In general I thought all of the eulogies were both good & appropriate. Yes, Paul touched me like no other. Loved Abe. I still miss previous Little Rachel but for the first time new Little Rachel also moved me. And, amazingly, I am caught up again. Whoopeee!
