Big Brother Craze

Thanks, as ever, goes to ATI and his east coast stream! You’re the best!

Last time, on Big Brother 8…. Yup, it’s Recap time.

We rejoin our favorite hamsters just after the nomination ceremony, where Jessica and Jameka were nominated, on Day 63. Zach says he’s judge. jury and he’s the dream crusher. Jameka says her instinct says Zach is in something with ED and Daniele. Jessica says Zach told her that he isn’t holding last week against her - which is a load of crap. Eric knows that he let down Jessica, it was exactly what she was afraid of.

Jessica and Jameka talk about the speech, and laugh that he feels threatened by two girls, and they want Eric to win POV because it’s the perfect scenario. Jameka of course wants to be in the final three with Jessica, so bad.

Daniele joins Zach in the HOH. They talk about Jessica’s evil smile, and Zach doesn’t feel bad because Jessica let Eric do all the talking for her, and they laugh at Eric’s twitching. They agree that the worse case scenario is if Eric won it, naturally.

Eric is upset, and tells Jameka that he’s not doing well and really taking it all hard. (This is the night he did a voluntary DR session to try and clear his head.) He says he really cares for Jessica and he feels like a heel and he’s going to lose the game and the person he really cares about. He tells us he’s doing what he needs to do to support America and play our game. It’s his dream, and it’s turning into a nightmare, because he may have to hurt the person he cares most about.

I’m going to put this behind the tag, in case you don’t want to know!

The task for Sunday is this: America’s Player needs to show his fellow HouseGuests just how annoying they can be by mimicking the actions and words of the HouseGuest of your choice at least three times before the veto meeting. Which HouseGuest should Eric mimic?

As always, thanks to ATI from Jokers, who’s streaming the East Coast shows for us West Coast viewers! You’re awesome, and your effort is much appreciated!

Now - it’s recap time! Previously, on Big Brother 8…

We rejoin our houseguests with a flashback to Amber’s eviction - which never gets old! Dick tells us he feels good seeing her walk out the door, she was full of crap and a self-righteous bitch. Jessica wanted her to stay, but trusted Eric. Daniele find’s it amusing that she was warned about Eric, she told Amber that weeks ago, and she’s amused that no one knows what’s going on. Jameka is going to try her best and make Amber proud of her.

Day 62 that was, and Zach is happy that he’s still here. Eric is satisfied because America wanted it, and so did he.

Time to watch the remainder of the HOH competition! We re-hear Julie telling us of the rules, and watch them slipping and sliding all over again. And we see Eric taking his falls and he tells us it was brutal. everyone is slipping and sliding. Dick says he barely stand up, he’s 14 years older then the next oldest one, and he smokes and doesn’t work out. Zach even tried to clean up the lane - with his chest. Eric really was having a horrible time of it!

Dick was feeling confident, because it was 3-1. Zach knew he had to do whatever it took to secure his survival. Jessica says Eric wasn’t doing well staying on his feet - and he wasn’t. SO take that you guys who said he was faking it! Blarg. Jameka is worried, as well she should be. Jameka goes in and grabs Daniele a hair tie, and moans about Amber while she’s in there.

There’s a smaller container in the lain - the first to fill the container by the end of the game, gets a phone call from home. Daniele put one in there, but then stopped. Eric was immediately torn, he wasn’t doing well at all, and so he decided to go for it and he got the phone call from home!

There are now two cups at the end of the lanes - they come at a price though, the entire house will go on cold water for 1 day for each cup used. Everyone takes two, and there’s cold water for 8 days.

(This is absolutely brutal to watch!)

Dick is still in good spirits - feet don’t fail me now! He says he was a waiter for a long time, but Zach was moving fast. Zach says using two cups was a calculated risk, because he is Zach, and could make up the difference. Dick knew he had to do anything he could to win because an hour before the show he laid into Zach. He lets us know he was pissed off about the way Zach turned on him. Zach shakes his head, (And we know he’s lying!) And CUE THE ROCKER MUSIC!!

Zach says he’s played the game honorably, and here’s Dick’s I tell the truth speech. Dick knew that Daniele and Eric weren’t close and may as well had sat down. Zach was only concentrating on winning, and Dick knew it was all on him - Zach can’t win this HOH! It’s very close.

No one loves a good conspiracy theory like a Big Brother fan! We’ve all heard the rumblings about Diary Room and Producer’s influence, people for and against America’s player, and on and on… Here’s some of the latest!

As many are aware by now, Amber was evicted on Thursday, but not interviewed by anyone on Friday, not even on the CBS morning show with Julie Chen, or on House Calls! CBS issued a statement saying that they were going to truly sequester the remaining evictees so as not to influence them about the game. Many reporters - including AP and online sources - had declined to interview Amber (or Jameka should she have been the one evicted) because CBS insisted the press not ask any questions regarding Amber’s anti-Jew remarks.

The feeling is that these might unduly influence their votes in the end game for some reason. I could see Amber feeling bad that someone might think badly of her (BOY is she in for a BIG surprise!) and tossing a vote to Eric to ‘make up for it’ so perhaps they are in the right - after all, we don’t ever get to see Survivor contestants until after the season has already ended and those last votes have been cast! CBS has promised that all contestants will be available immediately following the finale on September 18.

Then there was last night - the houseguests had a surprise, late night veto competition that featured Janelle. Beforehand, Janelle was apparently on a shoutbox, and allegedly said something that was interpreted that she’d be mean to Eric, because she doesn’t like him. Naturally, the minute that the competition was over, something Daniele said to the effect of Janelle loved her and hated Eric and what does it all mean had fans going rabid over Janelle’s manipulating the game and all hell broke loose on boards everywhere!

Now, me? I am a fan - but not a rabid fan. I love Eric, but I’m not going to go accusing folks of fixing things for or against him or any of the other houseguests. Nor am I going to defend why I like the guy I like by telling others they are wrong. The thing is - we haven’t even SEEN this competition yet, and we are not in the house. All we have are the PERCEPTIONS of the houseguests and Janelle, who were actually involved. It’s all hearsay, baby, and we’re all entitled to our opinions!

There’s been many times I’ve seen something said on the boards and I’ve had to wonder if I’m watching the same show on the feeds that other people are. Often times what I saw and understood is perceived as something totally different by others, and sparks a huge argument. Also - we see so much of these guys, it’s hard to remember every little thing that was said or done and how it corresponds to other things said or done. It’s all one giant game of perception and opinion.

So, with that said? OMG! For a guy who begged folks to make a power move last week, where was that determination to make one of his own this week? Now he’s taking the easy way out as well! And what makes him more deserving all of the sudden after winning ONE competition? AND WHY DON’T THESE PEOPLE LISTEN WHEN I YELL AT THE MONITOR?

And why, oh why, do we have the next five days of nothing for the hamsters to do? Though - I have to say, if they weren’t so tired today - and throughout the next few days, that latex body paint, and edible body paint might present some interesting scenarios. At least I certainly HOPE so!

I can’t WAIT till Thursday! But, that said, catcha later tonight with the Sunday Night Recap!

After 3 hours of trivia - we come back to Daniele and Zach, looking like cats who swallowed the canaries…

You know the drill - don’t click if you don’t want to know!

With everyone sleeping except for Dick and Jameka, the feeds went to trivia at approx 12:20am, giving credence to the rumor that the POV will indeed be held tonight! Being Friday, and the fact that I have no life - I shall be here till the end, and post whatever spoilers I can glean as soon as they come available! Stay tuned!

Janelle posted on Jokers that they were picking her up at 10pm BB Time, for her to host this competition. They also ran a ticker across the bottom of the screen on BBAD that said “Veto Competition is later tonight”. For the most part, the houseguests do not know it is coming. Dick suggests he knows he can go outside and smoke at midnight, but they haven’t really confirmed anything else. Everyone went to bed, but for Dick - waiting to smoke, and Jameka who couldn’t sleep. Nice. I do know that everyone is hoping for something that’s not too strenuous after the HOH competition - Dick and Eric in particular are looking pretty beat up.

As for my feelings on why they’re doing it this early? Simple, really. Monday is a holiday. I bet they want to give as many folks the day off as possible, so having the POV Competition tonight, and the POV meeting tomorrow, it allows the construction crews at least to take the day off on Monday.

Course, I could be wrong and they could just have decided to be mean, but whatever! All’s fair in love and BB8!
