Big Brother Craze

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!

:12 Time for Dick and Eric to talk. Dick says that Eric is a game player and logical. He presents Eric with a deal for them and their partners.

:13 Time for Eric to approach Jessica again! This is a chance to make a big, big move and maybe it’s time for the people who mean business to step up. Dustin’s rubbing people the wrong way, and is already cutting them out of the loop. He thinks they can wipe out the rest of the house with ease. Honor amongst thieves, after all.

:14 Dustin’s ex-boyfriend is a diehard fan, when we come back, we’ll find out what Joe thinks of his ex, the game, and the houseguests. Plus, the live vote - stay with us!

:15 Commercial.
(ED: Gotta say - NICE EDIT for Eric this week, at LAST! Thank you CBS!)

:18 Welcome back! Time to go to the Living room. Hi everyone! Dick, you used the POV to save your daughter. Would you have done the same thing week 2? Daniele was insistent week 2 that he not use it. This time, it was completely different and Dick said she didn’t have a choice. Julie asks Daniele if she would have done the same, and she hopes so, but lukily she wasn’t put in that situation.

Jen - you and dick have a volatile relationship - how do you feel about getting the slop pass? Surprised but happy and thankful.

Amber, is there anything you’d like to say to your daughter? CUE TEARS! See you soon, and love you.

:20 Joe’s been watching Dustin’s every move. Never at a loss for words, he has something to say. Joe says it’s entertaining to watch the downward spiral on television from great to self-involved. Dustin’s choices to take the prizes shows his true colors and he doesn’t care who he has to step on to get where he wants. As the screws get tightened, he’s going to lose it. Joe says he’s shooting himself in his foot, and Daniele agrees that he’s right. And Joe’s excited that people can see that he was right. Zach “Dude, I think we voted out the wrong gay guy.”

:22 Coming up the live vote. And unusual visitors have stopped by this week, and will play a big part in the live HOH. But first, listen into the houseguests.

Amber says she wants dick out, obviously. Daniele says she can’t stand Dustin, he’s phony, she obviously wants Dick to stay. Zach says it’s a hard toss up. Jen says it’s finally a win-win and she’s excited that she gets to vote someone out she wants to leave. Eric (Hey! We get to see some DR from Eric! YAY!) says he wanted ED out, and he’s going after Dustin in a big way since receiving his mission from America. Jameka just wants to see the back of ED’s head and that bag as he heads out the door.

:24 Commercial

:35 Welcome back! The vote is tied, who will be leaving?

Zach - Evict Dustin
Jen - Evict Dustin

:36 The results are in. By a vote of 4-2, Dustin you are evicted from the big brother house. OH MY GOD - he’s shocked, as is Amber who says “omg” as well. Dustin hugs Amber, Jameka, Jessica then Amber again. And no one else.

He grabs his stuff and heads out the door to meet Julie.

:37 Inside, Amber is still OMG’ing, while everyone mills around (WOW that’s some dress on Jessica! Pretty! Just need to do something with that hair!)

:38 - Dustin, you are so stunned! He agrees and says that Eric is a shistey person, and that he was the vote against him. He says he doesn’t regret offering himself, exactly, but he’ll be on the jury, it is what it is. He put his faith into people and he was wrong. She quotes him “there’s always a twinge of a risk, but I don’t feel it.” He says he felt it this afternoon talking to people. It was a bad move on his behalf. Julie asks him about Amber and her screaming at Eric. He says she’s very emotional, and good for her to release it, though he thinks she should have done it one on one. Julie asks about Joe and what he’s thinking - Dustin says he knows he couldn’t be happier at the moment, but he made it farther then him, so.

:40 Goodbye messages - Dick, ha ha, see ya, I pulled off the biggest coup! Jameka says there’s some shady people in the group. Jen says tanning has been fun, and see you soon. Eric says he had a great time and thanks for taking care of him last week, and he’ll be joining him in the jury house any day now. Daniele says it was nice getting to know him and she’s sorry. Zach says his arrogance is a huge negative in the game. Jessica says she hopes they can meet up and have a good time. Amber says she’s never been so thankful to have met someone so special, she loves him sooo much, like you have no idea. Julie says goodbye, will talk more tomorrow on CBS.

:42 Coming up - the HOH competition! Looks like definitely a question and answer session once again! Commercial!

:46 Welcome back! Yesterday the houseguests found themselves down the rabbit hole, with strange visitors. What they didn’t know was that these visitors hold the answers to today’s HOH competition questions. We get to see clips of the antics that went on yesterday. Daniele thinks it’s some kind of clue. Jen “Oh god. More things to remember!” Dustin “Outside - There’s a barber shop quartet and a pirate on stilts!”

Jessica says she just tried to clear her mind, and take it all in. Daniele talks about the bunnies inside, and the cards around their nets. We see the moving statue, as well. Dustin says he’s trying to piece it all together, but isn’t sure.

:48 The Power is Up for Grabs! (Jameka on the sideline with Jessica and she looks PISSED.)

Strange Visitors is the name of the game. There will be a series of questions, True of False about the visitors. If your correct, you stay in, if incorrect, you’re out. Last person standing is HOH.

The pirate on stilts said always drink downstream of the herd. (F) - Jen’s out. (She says she meant to hit False, omg! She’s honestly shocked, so I think she did flip the thing the wrong way. Awww!)

Only 2 members of the barbershop quartet had red bands on their hats. (T) Dick and Zach out.

The cards around the bunny’s necks were the ace of hearts, nine of clubs, and five of diamonds. (T) Eric is out.

Mini mad hatter ran around the house with 7 cards on his hat. (F) Daniele is the new HOH! She gets a huge hug from Dick, and he celebrates as other’s hug her.

:52 What’s in store for the house now that Daniele is the new HOH? Stay with us!

:55 Welcome back! It’s time for you to get involved, who do you want Eric to get nominated. Vote now! (Give it some thought this week, please! Vote Whamber. Heh.)

:56 Let’s rejoin the houseguests. Daniele, congrats. Dick, how are you feeling? Amber, Dustin was your best friend, will it feel empty without him? She says yes, in tears, of course, and says though everything happens for a reason. Have a good night everyone!

:58 Julie gives her goodbye, and let’s eavesdrop on the houseguests. It’s awful silent in there, but Jessica and Eric are hugging in the Living Room as we go to credits.

So - What did you think of tonight’s episode? Daniele wanted HOH for her birthday in 4 days, which is awesome for her! I’m surprised that Amber stuck it in so long for HOH, honestly. Will we HELP Eric this week? Please say yes!

The feeds are back, and Jessica tells Eric about her questions, and the giggling and flirting resumes. I *heart* Erissica! Amber is surprisingly not bawling much - interesting, and even hugs Jessica. She and Jameka are keeping themselves pretty separated and silent, however.

It seems to be relatively quiet and upbeat in the house.
For now.

Thanks again ATI!!!
