Big Brother Craze

Previously on Big Brother 8….

After the recap of last week’s events, we rejoin our Hamsters moments after the eviction. Amber, of course, is in tears, as we expected. She is shocked, and knew they were a strong pair, but didn’t think they’d come after her like this, and she has nobody. Dick is crowing, who would have thunk it that I would still be here, especially with my behavior! Jessica says she was sad to see him go, but she was glad to get him out without getting her hands dirty, strategically she was glad to see him go. Eric feels great about it as well, and the blood is on our hands and it feels good. Daniele is glad her dad is still there, of course.

Eric tells Jameka that it was a group choice and they can talk later. She tells us she can’t truck those that she thought she could, and that nothing makes sense, while Amber continues to sob, telling us she got played and she hasn’t tried to play anyone. (Except Nick, of course.) And that she doesn’t know what to do. Jameka puts the blame on Eric’s shoulder, which sucks because Dustin saved him last week. She feels she and Amber didn’t do anything wrong to them, but they don’t trust them anymore. Amber says she knows Dustin would tell her to be strong, because she’s still there.

Cut to the HOH competition, and Amber tells us she knew the answer was six, but her lucky number is seven and she was confused. Dick celebrates in the Diary room as Amber tells us that Jameka is the only one she can trust. Eric is happy that he and Jessica lined themselves up correctly and is nice and relaxed. Daniele says it’ll be different this time.

..in the BB8 house today! After all the hustle and bustle of Friday/Saturday competitions, Sunday is the day when they all sleep in longer then normal. Jessica and Eric are still in bed - no surprise since they didn’t GO to bed until 7am or so. But before then, inbetween game talks, they got their flirt on again:

Like a basket fulla kittens, those two!

The sunbathers - Daniele, Jen, Amber and Zach - are up and soaking up some cloud covered rays, talk is of fast food and outside things, all amicable and quiet. There’s no game talk, there’s no strategy, and the only talk of tomorrow includes the fact that it’s Daniele’s birthday - where the house thinks she’ll be 22, and she’s really turning 21.

I’ll be back later tonight with the Episode recap - plus, tomorrow, it’s time for another Lessa’s Opinion on the HouseGuests post! Stay Tuned!

I’m going to put this behind the spoiler button, in case you want to wait until Sunday to find out who we voted for Eric to target this week. Just know - even if you don’t click through? Eric is working it, people. And thank you. (grin)

I present to you…. America’s Player… as you’ve NEVER seen him before…

I laughed so hard watching this go down my tummy hurts!

For those wondering - this is the result of a wager on beer pong. Eric and Jessica had to switch clothing (Zach TOTALLY let her off early with a t-shirt and shorts) for tonight’s showtime show. Everything but his boxers are Jessica’s - right down to the silver heels. Fan. Freakin. Tastic!

FOR REAL!
Thanks to ATI from Joker’s that allowed me to watch this episode streamed from the East Coast! It’s much appreciated!

:01 Last time on Big Brother! Recap time.

:03 Well hello, Julie! Gorgeous as always. It’s day 48, and never before has anyone gone so far to make themselves the bigger target to save another houseguest. Will Father/Daughter be torn apart? Or will, once again, the pawn go home? But first… Footage of the POV meeting.

:05 We go back to just after the Veto Meeting. Dick is thrilled to be up on the block against Dustin. It could be a coup - don’t think it’ll happen, but maybe. Dustin wanted to see Dick freak out about losing his daughter. Jen would be content with either leaving. Daniele thinks Dick giving up this opportunity for her means more then anything.

Cut to Jessica and Dustin, confident that worst-case scenario it’s a 3-3. He’s confident that he’s cutting off Daniele’s other leg (cut the first off by getting Nick out) and she’s got nuthin. Jessica knows Dustin is shady and high on her radar.

:07 Eric and Jessica talk, and he apologizes for the whole silent treatment thing. I HOPE YOUR HAPPY AMERICA! Harumph. Jessica says that she trusts Eric 100% and hopes they can take on the house together.

:08 Jessica and Zach’s date. Zach says he did it to express strategy, and get to know her better. Jessica listens, and starts thinking about what the better solution would be strategically. Zach says he’ll stick to his word and vote Dick out, unless Jessica tells him otherwise.

:10 AP time! Time to find out who we will be targeting for eviction this week. he hopes Dick - but it’s Dustin. Not a shocker, as it’s what he was expecting, and that’s that. He goes and crawls into bed with Jessica to talk about her date with Zach. And he gets all cute and distracted when Jessica takes her shirt off, and gets a quick anatomy lesson “These are boobs.” Love the music. *L* Back to strategy, kids!

(more…)

It cracks me up, every time. Reading live feed recappers and commenters on various sites, and watching them FREAK OUT when it seems things won’t go their way. (Especially at Sucks. That is comedy gold, right there!) EVERYONE knows that the last 48 hours before an eviction, things will flip then flop then flip again. It happens every single week!

Case in point - this week. My take on the last couple of days is as follows:

We left Tuesday’s show, Dustin was a pawn, and America’s Voters were voting en masse to get him out of the house. Dustin was his typically snide, over-confident, I’m better then you self as he strutted around in his kings robe. The feeds went nuts, upset at this even before Eric got his directives. Patience is NOT an American virtue. Heh.

So Eric gets his directives, and starts working (take THAT, nay-sayers!) on Jessica and presenting the options. They don’t decide anything definitive yet, and the Voters start screaming RIGGED! AUGH! (Where if it WERE rigged, it would be in their favor this week, no? Yes. Relax, darlings!) Then there are talks with the LNC, where Eric seems completely on board with getting Dick out. This is called CYA, people. No use making the next 24+ miserable!

There are talks by Dick and Daniele with Jessica, and again with Eric, and still no definitive yes or no on this deal. Feeders go NUTS. I cackle quietly into my hand.

Late last night, Eric and Jessica get to talk at last, in depth, in the back yard. This is after a DR session that ended with Eric being rather quiet and contemplative. Interesting. Could this have something to do with the Little Person and Giant Pirate? Who knows… At any rate, after an hour of talk, Erissica agree that teaming up with the Dastardly Donatos is a good, strategic and power play move. They’ll pull in Jen as their third, with the DDs pulling in Zach, and as a group they will vote Dustin out of the game.

There, America - you should be HAPPY now! Cut the kid a break, will ya? Sheesh.

As of this morning, it’s a typical Thursday morning - houseguests are cleaning, Erissica as well, since they have to do Zach and Daniele’s cleaning for the day due to losing at Beer Pong. There hasn’t been any real game talk - though Dustin did just run in to talk to Zach, and Zach flipped him off after he left. Heh.

Oh! And last night, to throw everyone off, Eric and Jen hid things around the house, while Jessica giggled upstairs. Awesome.

So how do you think it’ll turn out? Will Dustin get ousted? Will it be by forced tie, or will they be able to pull Jen and Zach in for sure before it’s all said and done? If a forced tie, will Jessica keep her word to Eric, or go against the Donatos? CAN WE HANDLE THE WAIT?

Nah, me either. Every Thursday I WISH I lived on the East Coast…. (grin) Check back later for the live/Type-Delayed/blogging!

Beer pong - the houseguests have been holding a beer pong running game for the past nights - Zach and Daniele vs. Eric and Jessica. There were wagers involved, there was laughter, and fun had by all. Missed it? Here’s some:

And one of those wagers has involved the infamous Dolphin Crash Booty Shorts - which Eric must wear for a picture with the HOH camera. He added to it when he went to change - he’d put them on, they could take a picture of his ass as he backed out of the bathroom stall, not of the front, and then he was going to take them right back off again.

If ya want to see the infamous booty shorts (And this just 24 hours after his streaking! And us MISSING it due to Vortex!) - click MORE!

Here’s some more vids:

Now they’re on lockdown outside.. the Statue took a bow, the Mad Hatter waved goodbye..

The houseguests had better have been paying attention! Can’t wait for tomorrow’s show! Keep checking back - as things pop up, I’ll be sure to post them for you!

(PS - thanks to all the hard working live feed video capturers - my vid record keeps crapping out. You guys are the bomb!)

More vids after the cut!

(more…)

The Mad Hatter! Innnnnnnnnnteresting!! I wondered why we had Trivia! I have vids coming!

He’s repeating the same sayings over and over - that’s all he’s saying.

“Three people can keep a secret if 2 of them are dead.”
“A snitch in time saves nine.”
“Fish and visitors stink after three days.”
“What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.”
“There is no little enemy.”

The best was his imitating Dick with Dick’s sunglasses on. I missed that thought - I was laughing to hard! *L*

Mad Hatter is still running around the house!! Stay Tuned!

(They’re on lockdown. Most houseguests getting ready for the day - and Dustin looks frightened. If you remember just a few days ago he told the story about how scared he by little people!)

Outside:

Back inside:
We have bunnies in a cage on the table, with playing cards attached to their collars - AND a moving statue. And the Mad Hatter is still around….

I hope the houseguests are paying attention!
Videos after the cut - as I find em!

(more…)

Ya’ll can’t say he isn’t working for you this time! Minutes after getting out of the DR and finding out the results of America’s Choice for eviction, Eric and Jessica are comparing notes on her date, and general scenario talking.

That is definitely taking the possibility of evicting Dustin over Dick in a big way. There’s just under 48 hours before Thursday’s show - anything can happen folks, like we’ve seen before!

ETA: And if this works, with Jessica’s helping Eric to make it work for you? I do HOPE that you’ll not vote to actively hurt Eric and/or Jessica again next week, whatever the task may be! Restore my faith in voters!

And? If that doesn’t sway ya! This should! Taking a break from strategy to take advantage of that little nook… and scare the hell outa Jen…

And Jen was so freakin cute in this clip too. I hate to admit that I’m warming up to her… So I won’t. (grin)

Zach is a goober. He really is. I knew dozens of guys like him in high school - and underneath it all? Zach, like they were, is a really nice guy. He genuinely cares about his fellow housemates, and is just… kinda socially awkward. I feel for the guy, I do!

Tonight was his ‘date night’ with Jessica. He’s been wanting to cook for one of the girls, and Jessica stood up and said “ok, me!” He baked salmon and pasta, and even set up the backyard with a table for two. Jessica got dressed up, so did he, and they had a nice (if… awkward at times) dinner, talking stuff, and game, and eating a yummy looking dinner with beer out of champagne glasses.

Said Eric: She may be going to dinner with Zach, but she’s coming home to me!
Said Zach: There will be no sex. I have on my chastity belt - Dustin holds the key.

After dinner? Beer Pong - with everyone back in their rightful pairings. Erissica vs. Zachiele. All is right in the BB World.

Except for people with the “RIGGED” theories.

Which technically could still make things all right in the BB World… (Grin)

Previously on Big Brother 8…

After our recap of Sunday’s episode, we rejoin the Houseguests after the Nomination Ceremony, where Dick and Daniele were nominated for eviction on Day 42. Dick tells us that his Goal is to push Daniele further in the game and give her every chance to make it. Daniele says she hates fake people and liars, and it’s hard. Jessica says a lot of people would be upset if Dick stayed, but she’d rather Daniele go instead.

Dick and Daniele talk about not being a good enough liar, and they can’t trust anyone but Zach to a certain extent. Dick tells us he’s giving Daniele a lot of advice on the folks in the game, because he feels she has a better chance then her, and offers to smash up her vitamins if needed. He feels better that she’s little him be her dad and that’s worth more to him then the money.

Jessica says she didn’t invite Jen to the HOH, but she comes up anyway. She’s trying to play both sides and listens in, and Jessica finds it really annoying. She won’t tell her to go away though, because that’d be rude. Dick says he’ll not only get the five to hate him, but to despise him so that Daniele stays in the game.
