Big Brother Craze

Or as someone said to me earlier “Type-delay Live Blogging” as I’m 3 hours behind the rest of the world!

:00 Last time on Big Brother… Wahmber “Jameka… jameka… coulda taken it…

:04 This week fate took center stage in the house, and one was touched by Divine intervention. Jameka took Jen off the block giving her salvation as she believed God wanted her too, and Nick was put on the block, which sent the house into a tissy.

:06 We see Dustin nominate Nick again, and he says he’s surprised the Dustin made the move, and he figures he’s a threat and Kail is fragile. Kail says she was surprised, because he told her the target was Zach, so now she’s worried. Dustin says it was a house decision to backdoor the weasel. Amber runs off crying (oh! the shock! NOT)

:08 Kail and Dustin talk in the HOH and we see the little liar telling Kail what’s up and that she’s safe. She promises her the votes. Nick and Daniel talk, and she admits to knowing the whole time, and Nick walks away while Dani cries.

:09 Nick tells Dick to expect the unexpected and that he wouldn’t fuck over his daughter. Dick says everyone knows he wanted the noms to stay the same, and asks if it was a house concensus, Eric says a lot of names were mentioned. He kicks Zach out of the backyard, and Zach says “I thought we were close.” Nick goes in and apologizes to Zach inside.

:10 Nick goes to comfort Amber who lies (bitch!) and says she didn’t see it coming. Nick says whatever happens happen. Cut to Amber telling Dustin it’s the perfect time to backdoor Nick, cut back to her tears as she lays there and continues to lie to him.

:11 Daniele tells him she tried really hard to make it not happen that way, and asks him if he voted out Kail. He says no (We get the proof shown) and he says he doesn’t know who it was. She tells Nick everyone thinks it was him, and he says he doesn’t care, and Daniele says that she’s trying to help him. And Nick says he never fucked her over, and that it sucks she knew and didn’t tell him.

:12 Nick goes to Dustin and tells him it took balls and that it’s a game, but that he should have just told him. Nick says he’s ready for anything, and he asked for truth and didn’t like that they talked behind his back.

:13 Dick goes off on Jen about using Jameka again in front of Kail. Calls her a bitch, etc, and that she threw it and that she’s a smug bag, and Jen says shed never use those words to describe herself, and that she’s not a bad person. Kail walks away. Dick compares her to Saddam Hussain. She says she doesn’t care, nothing goes through. Then Jen tells dani that she’s sorry she’s had to live with that.

In DR - Dani says that it was rude, and ridiculous because she’s has no idea.

:16 Nick gets his MoHawk. Dick tells him not to discount Daniele’s feelings - the music while Nick cuts his hair makes it seem like a Brittany move. That’s funny!

:17 Dani tells Amber that she’ll vote with the group, and then we see her going off on Jen and how it’s a personal problem and that she treats her like crap and she’s never done anything to her. Jen says she has morals and HERE comes Dick, Zach and Nick who calls Jen a dumb bitch. Jen continues, and Dick pours tea over her head when she says that she has morals once again. SPLOOSH!

We see Nick chime in, and tells her no one likes her and she jumps to conclusions and no one cares about her.

:18 Coming up - we’ll find out who stays and who goes, let’s listen in to DR
Daniele says Kails a mess and walks around like she’s gonna kill herself. Dick says he wants to see Kail go, but for his daughter see Nick go. Jen says Nick is miserable and rude and no help. Whamber cries and says Nick is good and if she doesn’t stop crying it’s gonna bite her in the ass. (TOO LATE WHAAAAAAAAMBER!!!)

:20 COMMERCIAL!
(more…)

Amber just went off on Kail! As much as I’ve disliked her lately - I am sitting here CHEERING for her as she goes off about cleaning, and Kail is just standing there brushing her teeth looking clueless. Apparently Kail told Amber this morning that she does her fair share of dishes (not!) and that she’s weak from slop so isn’t going to do anything. Dick, Amber, Eric and Jameka have been doing the majority of the cleaning for some time now (even more so since Mike got evicted!). Kail added that she cleaned the HOH bathroom when she was up there - FOUR WEEKS AGO…. No wonder Amber went off! Time for a house meeting about chores, hamster darlings!

Now Kail’s crying in the room - still doing nothing, and saying it’s clear that they’re going to vote her out now because of it.

Before that, Dustin… DUSTIN! Why must you break my heart? He openly lied to Dick while they were talking in the Hookah Room.

Dick told him someone tipped off Kail that she’s just a pawn, because she’s been acting differently in the past two days. Dustin tried to place the blame on Zach, or Nick, on anyone but the truth, as we’ve seen him cuddling up Kail all week long! WHY, Dustin? I liked you, I did, but I just can’t anymore - and not that you’re lying to Dick, but you’re lying to EVERYONE.

Except Kail. WHY KAIL? Sigh.

And now Dick is going off on Jen again - not as bad as before - but man, he needs a smoke!

EAGERLY awaiting tonight’s HOH competition! I want Daniele to win - or Zach! Wouldn’t that shake up the God Squad and the rest of the LNC?

Speaking of LNC - ya’ll be glad to know that Eric played devil’s advocate and talked to them about Kail last night - likely covering his tracks.

Don’t expect an 8-0 eviction tonight! Although, RIGHT NOW Kail is telling Jen that she wants to tell them (Amber and the LNC) to vote her out. Dare we hope?!

What are you’re hopes for the live show? Who are you pulling for? Dish, lovelies! I’ll be live blogging it Alaskan time like usual, and if it’s an endurance competition on the feeds, I’ll keep track of that for ya’ll too in an HOH entry as well!

We’ve had indoor lockdown twice today. The talk turns to banners, and right now Amber is declaring the game rigged - after taking her microphone OFF to comment about Big Brother sending banners in order to keep their “showmance” rather then Kail. She completes this by being called to the DR and saying “F**K You” under her breath…

Um. What?! If Big Brother were sending the banners, don’t you think that MAYBE, just MAYBE they’d make sure the houseguests got to see it? Amber is a basketcase, seriously - as we like to say, she’s about five beers shy a six-pack! And this taking off the mic to talk is annoying. Stop it.

Amber also spent the lockdown telling Jameka half truths about what Daniele said about the banners - she mentioned there’d been one every day since Veto, and they might be about Nick, and added something about something Jameka said (I missed it exactly) and Jameka ends up telling Jessica she wants to pimpslap the bitch (Daniele). Which of course has Amber, Dustin and Eric discussing it:

And - for all ya’ll out there - the folks at Reality BBQ got a picture of the banner from this afternoon, 2:45pm BB time!

My question is, what makes folks so certain that the vote by America was for Kail? Eric’s not been too gung ho about changing folks minds, and hasn’t really given us a clear indication that it was Kail and not Nick! So who’s got insider info on that - or is it simply wishful thinking? Not saying it’s NOT - just saying we haven’t seen for sure if it IS…

No matter what - it’s a good day for the Feeds, people! Little Hamsters scurrying EVERYWHERE!

ETA: Amber is back from the Diary Room, and mouths to Jameka that she got in trouble for suggesting that BB is rigging the show to save the showmance. She was firmly scolded for saying that BB is sending the Banner Planes.

HAHAHAH!!

Forget Nick and Dani! Send Nick HOME tomorrow - because HOW COULD YOU want to watch them googly-eyin each other and cover diving, and complaining and fighting and making up and so on and so forth - how could you want THAT more then THIS cuteness?!

Eric and Jessica create a chessboard wedding.

Seriously! VOTE OUT NICK and get rid of the sap - make way for the CUTE!

I had to share the…. er… wealth. Yes. Or pain. However you look at it - it’s a new commercial for Big Brother 8 - the BB Rap!

Big Brother, BB8, BBus, BB us, houseguests, commercial, CBS

Previously on Big Brother…. we rejoin the House Guests right after a review of the nomination ceremony. Dick is very happy about the duplicate nominations, of course, as Dustin hugs Kail and says they’ll talk later. She says even though she said she could be used as a pawn, it’s nerve wracking. Dustin says that she threw herself at him as a pawn and it helps him remain safe which is what he wants.

Jen goes to the bathroom alone and cries, the first emotion we’ve seen from her. She’s wondering why and says that it hurts that it wasn’t Zach or Nick. Cut to the HOH room where Dustin assures Kail that he trusts her, and tells her that Zach is his target and to fight for POV. If none of them win it, Jen will go home, not Kail.

He then admits in DR that Kail should not believe him at all, because he doesn’t care which of them goes home - zach, nick, jen or kail.

Meanwhile, Nick is comforting Jen in the bathroom, and is joined by Zach and Kail. When they leave and it’s just Kail and Jen, Kail says they’re the toughest girls in the house. (HAHAHAHAHH!)

Amber runs back to Dustin and says that she found him comforting about Jen, and that it’s all an act, and they figure it’s fishy that Nick, Jen, Kail and Zach are all in an allience.

It’s time to pick players for the Veto competition!

Dustin chooses Daniele, Jen chooses Jameka, and Kail chooses Jessica. Eric is chosen as host. Jameka tells us that her Faith leads her to believe God is telling her to play hard and win for Jen and after the choosing she tells Kail, and then Jen that’s how she intends on playing it. She’ll play to win, and then use it for Jen, because that’s what God told her to do.

This, of course, makes Jen very happy, and Dick very upset. He brings up other scenarios - if it were Kail, or Zach, who she wants out more then anyone else. Jameka stands her ground though. In DR, she says he calls himself evil, he’s an atheist, and she doesn’t care. Dick says what many folks are thinking - “Don’t you think God has more important things to do then worry about your name on a ping pong ball?”

Eric comes out with a french accent (very very bad) all dressed in black with a beret and gets everyone dressed up and brings them into the Big Brother Art Gallery. There are art pictures and sculptures all over the living room. There’s wine and cheese for everyone - including those on slop!

Jameka is fighting for Jen, and Jessica wants to play so the nominations stay the same. Vincent Van Veto is the artist - the game is about big brother Slogans - they earn bucks, and whoever solves the puzzle gets bucks, most bucks at the end, wins. Get it wrong and you’re out.

Daniele gets the first - Head of household.
Daniele gets the second one as well - Memory Wall
Kail gets Diary room.
Daniele is out with Veto - the correct answer was Power of Veto and she’s elimated.

Now they have the opportunity to spend some bucks on prizes, and it’s a trip for 2 to Barbados, and Dustin takes it - sending the peanut gallery into stunned angry expressions. Dustin is excited that they’re gonna have the BEST TIME in Barbados. While Jessica and Dick are pissed off.

Kail says the next is “Need to know basis” - the picture was a Gnome on a knee - NOMINEE. Oy.

Number 6 - Jameka gets it with alliance, and she’s in the lead with 3 puzzles remaining.
Number 7 - Dustin gets it with Julie Chen. (The puzzle caused many people to say “Julie Chicken!” for the rest of the night, btw!)
Number 8 - Dustin gets it with chopping block and puts himself in the lead.

Time for another prize! 5000 cash! Jameka says she was tempted, but doesn’t do it, but DUSTIN DOES! That sends Amber into - you guessed it, TEARS. That leaves Jameka in the lead and whoever answers the question correctly will win the Power of Veto.

Jen says… Safety. What?! It didn’t even make sense, and was a deliberate ditch and dump so that the other houseguests have no chance as it leaves Jameka in the lead and winner of the Power of Veto. Jen is happy - the rest of the house is FURIOUS. Even Jameka said she did it on purpose, and regrets telling her that she would use the PoV on her.

We come back and Dick confronts Dustin on the taking of both prizes, and that he wouldn’t have done it. Dustin admits that it’s selfish and he got caught up in the moment and he felt terrible. He knows everyone hates him right now. Amber is off in the corner crying and talking to Jameka. Jameka says she will take Jen off, because she’s a woman of her word. I admire her determination, and her belief that “God is gangsta!” Amber doesn’t like seeing Jameka taken advantage of.

Daniele is pissed too, talking to Nick and Dick, while Dustin pleads his case to Eric. Eric tells us that Dustin made a fool of himself and lost the respect of all his allies. And Dick starts in on Jen, and accuses her of being selfish, doing it on purpose to dump the whole thing on Jameka. Kail of course takes Jen’s side. Jen says she’s sad Jameka didn’t take the money, and Dani asks Dick to stop.

Dick apologizes, but says it only makes everyone uncomfortable because he’s saying what everyone is thinking - Kail says she doesn’t, but he comes back and says her feelings are irrelevant because Jen is her bed buddy.

(Wow - this is a REALLY LONG commercial break…)

And it’s time for Eric to find out his next assignment! He gets the catch phrase is “I’d do that for a dollar” - he needs a minimum of 3 different people to say the phrase on 5 different days. He gets right to work, and says it several times in a row, and then explains to Dick that he hates Amber’s phrases and expressions, and so he decided to concoct an expression that he’ll say repeatedly until other people say it to illustrate what it is like to the rest of the house. Dick thanks it’s funny and is all for it.

He puts his money where his mouth is and ends up jumping into the pool with all his clothes on. (THANK you for not streaking!)

We have a meeting of the LNC - the Late Night Crew. They know Jameka is using the veto, so they discuss who to put up to replace Jen. Everyone agrees that it is a strategic move to remove Nick from the game. Eric admits he wants Nick out, and they need to send him home while they have the chance. Daniele leaves, and Amber says that its hard, and Jessica is beautifully awesome and says “Not to be a bitch, but it’s not our job to take care of Daniele’s personal life.” Daniele thinks that Amber was calling her out and attacking her. Jameka says that her opinion is that she wants Zach gone.

It’s time for the Power of Veto meeting. Jameka says that no matter what she does, someone is going to be hurt. Zach says Jameka is opening a can of worms, but doesn’t see Dustin putting him on the block. Nick thinks it will be Zach. Kail says Dustin needs to follow through with his word and put up Zach so that she’ll still be there.

Jameka calls everyone in, and gives Kail and Jen a chance to convince her to use it on them. Jen says she thinks everything happens for a reason, and enjoys being there, and that’s it. Kail says that she’s in a hard position because their friends and she won’t ask Jameka to choose her over her friend.

Jameka says she’s learned some things about individuals character, and that actions speak louder then words, but she wants her actions to follow her words, and uses the Power of Veto to save Jen.

Dustin stands to replace his nomination, and says “There are people in the house who since day one have been playing all sides and in doing so they have done themselves in strategically, and with that said, Nick, I nominate you for eviction.”

Jameka closes the veto meeting, and we see Daniele crying in the Diary room, because she doesn’t have a lot of people in the house and it’s hard. Dustin says don’t get to attached, and gives the best, quote ever - “Clip it, bitches, it’s a game!”

And Nick says he’s not giving up like Kail is doing. Kail says she doesn’t know what Dustin’s doing, and it could be a huge problem and she never feels safe. Jen is more upset with Dustin for putting up Nick then for putting her up in the first place.

Who will get evicted on Thursday? And don’t forget to Vote on who Eric votes for at cbs.com!

According to what the hamster’s think and various sources around the net, there are indeed banners being flown over the BB house, causing the “immediate lockdown”. These are different in that they rush everyone inside, instead of giving them five minutes or so to comply. They say things like yesterdays “I need to see everyone up and moving, immediately.” and they send them inside into lockdown.

Everyone’s been dying to know what the banners say - and Reality BBQ says they’re in the know. Here’s what was just posted after the last inside lockdown:

“Banner Alert!
7/31 2:10 BB time
“Trust Nick. Dump Kail. Amber Lies.”
I’ll drive by later to check if there are any props out.
Take Care.” - Anon

Oooooh would that they had SEEN that one - especially as Kail is not the only one lying…

There was also another banner reported yesterday:

“I work on the CBS Radford lot where the BB house is.
Thought you would like to know a banner plane just flew over. It is Monday, 7/30 at 2:30pm BB time. It said “We see the D.R. Trust Nick. Eric Lies.” I know BB has 2 prod. asst. stationed on the roof of our parking structure and 1 at the small airport.” - Anon

Glad they missed that one. I like Eric! Though I do find it amusing that fans will spend the cash for banner planes that will most likely never be seen.

No, no no - Dick didn’t do anything to Jen. Sheesh. BUT! Nick is not the only new ‘do this week! In fact, Eric was so inspired by the mohawk, he got himself a fauxhawk (or as Jessica said - a JewHawk!) I think it’s pretty cute and suits him, actually - what do you think?

And not to be outdone, Dustin gave himself a good buzz too:

Now, as for Dick, since so many people are up in arms about what happened last night.

(more…)

He’s been talking about it for a couple of weeks, but BB asked him to wait till today! So without further ado, here’s the new ‘do!

And though it’s different - it doesn’t look that bad! The girls seem to dig it…

…when you lose a game of Beer Pong to Eric! First, you have to wear a pair of his boxers, and THEN you end up in Jen’s Unitard, too!

Then, of course, they must DANCE!

What’s the worst part? Jessica set the terms of the bet before the game started! Poor Jessica I have to say though - she looks as adorable as ever!

All of this was moments before the Pillow Fight, in which Jessica kicked Eric’s ass and achieved vindication. Count me as the number one Erissica fan!

Will the MRA suffer another fall?

After a recap of last week, we rejoin the houseguests right after Evictions, where Kail says she’s speechless and Prayer works, which is why she’s still there, Zach is proud to have stayed true to his word, and Dick goes right for Kail and tells her it’s strategy, and not to think she has made friends. Jen was blamed by Dick right away for the other vote for Kail, which of course, she denies and we know who it is.

Nick thought it was Jessica, and there’s a lot of guesswork who that second vote was. Amber figures that it was Nick, and that rumor spreads through house that it was him so as not to look bad to Zach, and Eric’s enjoying the conspiracy theories because it leaves him in the clear.

Dustin says that Nick has a target on his back, many folks are worried about Daniele’s relationship with him. Jen further digs Nick’s grave by saying she knew that everyone was voting to get rid of Mike so she went through the house - which tells Dick that Nick is the leak, and he should go.

Cut to the HOH Competition, and we get to see Dustin’s giddy joy and you guessed it - AMBER CRIES. Good lord, kill me now! Get. her. OUT. She says they’re the strongest, and they’re happy tears, but they’re annoying. Dustin says the four targets are indeed Kail, Jen, Nick and Zach. Kail knows she’s in danger, and Jen is pretty sure she won’t be nominated because she put out Joe for him.

We of course get to see the HOH room where Dustin introduces everyone in his pictures with giddy smiles. He gets a letter from home, and they leave him alone to read his letter from his brother and cry a bit on his own. And Dustin pulls a Wahmber in the Diary Room, and bawls about how Hard it is.

Then it’s the convo about people treating and calling their dogs their babies. Dick didn’t come down at her, was calm and gave his opinion, but naturally Amber takes it to heart of course. It IS bizarre that someone would say they love their dog as much as her daughter - its VERY bizarre! And what a stupid thing to fight about! And Wahmber? GET OVER YOURSELF! Seriously.

We come back to see the Dick at Night show, where we see Dick rig up the sprayer on the sink. What’s funny is that the one it gets? Is Daniele! We then see the very odd story time with Zach, and his weird story about some convention he went too. It’ was odd, and uncomfortable, and we get a little bit of why he’s so unliked. Dustin calls him Eyeore. Zach says he doesn’t WANT to be a part of any clique, and we get a montage of everyone leaving whenever he comes up. Daniele agrees he’s the hardest to live with. She says she’d rather eat slop for a month then talk to him for an hour.

We see more of Dick and Daniele’s fight, and where the turning point was for them. (Which, thankfully, has seemed to hold to a more positive light throughout the week on the feeds.) I won’t go into more, because I mentioned it earlier.

We come back to see Eric and Jessica at play! YAY! they are entirely too cute together, and they both say they feel close to each other and have a lot of fun together.

And it’s time for the FOOD COMPETITION!
Dustin dressed up as a King with a Crown and robe, tells them to pair up in teams of two, to go get outfits (The Queen’s Guard in matching color pairs) for the Humpty Scramble. Jameka and Jessica, Eric and Zach, (poor eric!) Jen and Amber, and Dick and Kail - the match made in hell!

When they walked outside there see Humpties bottom on the wall, and pieces in big tubs. They have to rebuild Humpty, and too slow, they could be choking on SLOP! The first team to assemble their egg would be guaranteed not to be on slop.

Dustin tells them “FASTER! The King is HUNGRY!” Dick and Kail started out strong and fast, and worried them. Zach says he’s good at puzzles, but, um. Not so much. Jessica and Jameka kick some butt, and pull ahead and end up winning the food competition! Jameka and Jessica then get to choose which five people would be on slop for the rest of the week! They choose ED first because he hadn’t had it yet. Jessica points to everyone “You all should be scared!” which was too cute for words. They pick on Eric, but give it to Zach, and then complete the group with Kail, Nick, and Jen. Jen of course is happy and it’ll help her lose weight because she has no self control. Ha!

Dustin, of course played up the whole King’s role, including telling Dick “SILENCE!” when he sent a raspberry his way. Too cute!

We come back to Dick asking if Jen has a boob job. She refuses to confirm or deny that she has or hasn’t. And then we see Kail working her magic (Ha. ha. ha.) and trying to work Dustin’s ideas for nominations in her favor. She offers herself as a pawn, and says it’s risky and could backfire. Dustin says she’s weak, feeble, desperate and annoying, and Kail is simply a tool for him to use at his whim. Jen, of course comes up and talks to Dustin as well, and denies again that she voted against Kail, it’s just like the mustard thing. Maybe it’s the same person (HAHAHAH!). Jen, naturally pushes Dick/Daniele.

Eric gets our choice for who we want him to get nominated. It is, of course, Jen! Eric says thanks, and that we’re seeing eye to eye, and that it’s a good choice, and we get to see him in action as he works it. The boy is good - seriously! Dick love the scenarios, and applauds Eric’s thinking - as do we!

Our AP vote this week - Which catch phrase should Eric start in the house? “Sweet Chicken!” “Booyakah!” or “I’d do that for a dollar!” - votes will be accepted till midnight pacific time tonight!

And it’s time for Nominations. Jen says she doesn’t see herself going up, Zach threatens to open a can of whoopass if he goes up and wins POV, and Kail is nervous. Nick feels safe, and that he’s in good standing with Dustin.

It’s time for the Nomination Ceremony!
Dustin says that he based the decision on competitiveness and strategy, and gets us started. The order of the keys is: Amber (shock!), Jessica, Dick (Nice to see his key come out for the first time), Jameka, Nick, Zach, Daniele, Eric.

Dustin says that he nominated Jen because she’s a strong competitor, and Kail, because she exhibited questionable behavior over the past week, and the meeting is adjourned.

Kail says she’s concerned, but she has to trust someone. Dustin wants her to go home, and if things stand, she’s going home. Jen is upset about it this week, and it hurts because she didn’t think Dustin would do it.

Who will win the Power of Veto? And will they use it? And will Eric complete his next assignment? Find out Tuesday!
