(BB7) Explaining the Mr. and Mrs. Smith alliance
Smart Ape - Has Apementum
How Toni Ferrari is ruling the Big Brother All Star Household
For those of you hooked to Big Brother All Stars, and I know there are fans
out there, a name circling the fan forums lately wasn't one you might have
expected to hear.
Toni Ferrari.
Yes, a name you've heard out there in reality tv land but associated with
shows like Kill Reality or Love Cruise. Why would her name be associated
with the current season of Big Brother?
She's friends with some of the houseguests
She is the former roommate of one of the houseguests
She has possibly masterminded one of the greatest takeovers/alliances in
reality tv history and she's not even on the show
I'll address each issue one by one. First, she is friends with damn near
half of the current houseguests. Toni keeps in regular contact with so many
of the All Stars in part because of her former roommate and because of the
career paths so many reality tv stars follow after their series end.
Secondly, she did share an apartment with a former Big Brother houseguest
and current All Star - Diane Henry. Third, the most important of the 3, she
set into play the alliances between various All Stars months before the
voting took place to even decide who would be heading back inside the Big
Brother house.
But that alone wouldn't make this a great story, a Jonny Fairplay type of
move that will go down in reality tv history. She also began working with
others to destroy the person she originally set out to help win Big Brother
All Stars.
Confused? Intrigued? Pissed? Read on, as the information I've obtained came
straight from Toni Ferrari herself.
Toni, her then roommate Diane, and Jase began the "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" plan
some time ago. (The plan itself was named by Jase, who has a bit of a Brad
Pitt obsession) When word came down that All Stars was becoming a reality,
the 3 set the plan into motion. The idea was to recruit the strongest
players from the past seasons, even those that intimidated Diane and Jase.
Toni, who was never on the show, recognized the strengths of different
players and the 3 worked together to pick who would work well as part of a
secret alliance. The phone calls began to those players, recruiting the
best. Of course, Jase and Diane would wear something to signify their
allegiance to the alliance when moving into the Big Brother house. Diane
went with the black dress and Jase wanted to wear a black tuxedo, though he
was talked out of that obvious move. The "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" plan would be
considered successful if Jase and Diane made it as the final 2.
Then things went sour between Diane and Toni. Rather than get into murky
waters already explored on Diane's site, I'll use Toni's explanation of what
happened. Toni's side of the story is that there were some problems
regarding household bills and responsibilities; therefore the friendship
soured. Toni has kept quiet regarding this matter, going as far as to remove
her website, and waited. She then put her plan into motion.
Toni decided that maybe someone else should be "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" instead
of the two who were already dying to turn on each other. Jase and Diane were
both talking of turning on each other via IM and phone any chance they got.
So Toni called on her good friends Erika and James, both former and All Star
houseguests. From there, the new plan members took over the original plan.
Now people Diane and Jase believed were a part of their alliance were always
a part of the new alliance, one with stronger people who knew all about the
original plan and had a new one ready to go.
Janelle has admitted she talked to Toni on the phone during a moment on the
feeds. "Not true," stated Toni, "She didn't talk to me but I did set up the
phone call." It wasn't Diane though, as Diane is petrified of Janelle. But
to hear Diane talk about Janelle is a different story. Diane has been rather
blatant in her desire to want Janelle out of the house and wants to take all
the credit for it despite being afraid of her. When asked who she would like
to see win the game, she would like to see, "Erika and James because they
are real friends." She's only asked for one thing for her help from those
who will benefit; she wants 3 simple words said. While Diane is a good
player, Toni feels she will be eliminated at some point. When Diane is
evicted from the house, she wants James or Erika to say, "Toni says hi."
Cold, perhaps, but there is no love lost between these two women and
obviously that's for a good reason. Toni has this to say about the rest:
"The last thing I wanted to do was hurt or screw over Jase or Nakomis. I had
fun at the auditions for Kill Reality with Jase. I've never met Nakomis but
she's a smart player and a nice person. I want Diane's head on a platter.
She's going to talk all kind of ***** about me and I'm not going to get the
chance to rebut any of it at all? I made a phone call - just one phone call.
My loyalities lie to my real friends - like Erika and James. But I
specifically wanted to get the one person who scared the hell out of Diane
in general and that's Janelle."
As for Toni, she's been staying out of the reality game until now. She's
moved away from all the action and is working hard off screen, which is how
she likes it. She didn't know her name was brought up until I wrote her an
email. The plan itself was created, as she reminded me many times, to help
out a friend in need. When that friend was no longer her friend, she decided
to help the most deserving person in her eyes.
Despite how you feel about this whole thing, it could be the best preshow
setup since the "dead grandma" bit pulled by Jonny Fairplay on Survivor.
This took serious planning, studying, scheming, and the work of some
dedicated Big Brother houseguests who didn't even know if they'd be on the
show until shortly before they moved in. Add in that the plan was conceived
by someone who isn't even on the show, never has appeared on the show, and
has no vested interest except to help friends win and the "Mr. and Mrs.
Smith" plan falls nothing short of brilliant.
Who knows what will happen once the houseguests began to let on about their
alliances or those who have left begin to read about what was set up before
they even stepped through those Big Brother doors. I know I'll be watching
even more now, if that's possible.
To think CBS named last summer's Big Brother season the "Summer of Secrets.'
I do believe this season deserved the name from the minute Toni got
involved.
