'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds News - Saturday, July 21

Yes, you're right. This isn't a Big Brother image, not at all. It's a photo of the Flatiron Building in Manhattan which I shot earlier this afternoon. As you can see, it was a stunningly gorgeous day in NYC!

Oh, but I'm really here to tell you about the events of the day in the Big Brother House of Bad Decisions and Those Who Make Them:
  • Kail cried on and off, sometimes more on than off. Dick tried to comfort her by telling her he didn't mean to make her miserable, he just wanted her out of the house. (Yeah, that's comforting!)
  • Shortly after the HG were blasted with Queen music, they were told it would be two hours until the POV competition.
  • The veto players and the ones chosen were Kail, Jen, Dick, Jessica, Zach, and Nick. Kail seemed to want a redo on Zach being chosen.
  • Eric hosted the event and wore a Mad Hatters costume.
  • Nick and Dick talked. The tides seem to be changing once again. Instead of Kail being the target, both think that Mike is more of a danger.
  • Kail thinks everyone in the house is scared of Dick.
  • Kail wants the house to target Zach. (I'm sure he's on the list. I think everyone in the house sees through the flying monkey man.)
  • The Jenstermatic won the power of veto.
  • Something happened between Dick and Mike in the comp. At one point, Dick asked Mike if he wanted to go on the block. When Mike said he didn't care, Dick let Jen have the win. (Remember, the feeds are blocked for the comp and we only get bits and pieces as the HG talk afterwards.)
  • Kail is upset. This time because Dick must have admitted he lied about something during the veto comp. Since part of why Joe went was the lying, this is a new fresh matter for her to focus on.
  • Amber cried.
  • Jameka told Kail she's her own worst enemy with her behavior.
  • In Kail's mind, she thinks that Dick will put up a popular pawn in Jen's place to make sure she's evicted.
  • Dick is now testing people. @@ He says that if Zach knows that he's going up next week, then Nick is the leak.
  • Dick said Kail betrayed her "best friend" Jen by campaigning against her last night to him.
  • Dick talked to Amber and Jameka. The plan is to put Zach up and make him the target, yet Kail stay under the assumption that she's going home so she'll be flustered for the HOH comp.
  • Jameka mentioned backdooring Jen in due time.
  • Dick thinks Jen and Nick faked not liking each other to cover an alliance. He told Amber his thoughts.
  • Dick told Jen that she wasn't his target. Duh. We knew that. I'm sure she did, too.
  • Nick and Daniele think Dick is talking to Kail way too much.
  • Jessica suggested that Kail threw the POV, doing so poorly so it makes her look weaker than she really is.
  • Kail thinks Nick is as bad as Zach, but has charm and is better-looking.

As I post this, it's a given that Jen will use the POV to save herself. She'd be stupid not to do so. I still contend that she's not as stupid at the game as she has been acting. While Dick indicated that he would put Mike up in her place, in the past he said Zach. I can see him putting Mike up because, in the long run, he's probably more of a threat. He's so quiet and in the background that he's a bit of an unknown. Zach, on the other hand, is too well known and would probably go home whenever put up for eviction.

Who do you think should go in Jen's place for eviction?

I think Quiet Mike should go, he scares me. Zachis just annoying.
I say Kail should still go, so the members of "her town" can all have a good laugh

Kail is still badgering people, following them around,harping on how Dick cannot be trusted, obsessed with Dick being her only problem.
She is still bothering people day and night about Dick. She is so annoying and so tiresome.

Granted, Mike is a stronger player and if put up, he will go, I bet. But that means Kail stays and while she is a weak player, she is so annoying.

Kail has a one track mind: getting rid of Dick so if she gets HOH if she stays, I am betting he will be gone. I would rather see Dick take out Kail than the other way around.

Kail is my least favorite player as she treats everyone so badly by bugging them constantly and not having fun or letting them have fun.

Deanna said...

I think it should be Mike. But I think Kail is the bigger threat. I really don't think Mike is all that smart enough to be a real threat(but u never know). I'd get rid of Kail, then Mike, then Jen, then lastly Zach of that alliance.

I really hope Nick isn't playing the "showmance" card on Daniele. He seems sincere, but who knows. Anyone know any more on this or have thoughts on it? Curious... :)

Steff said...

Jackie,
What a terrific shot of the Flat Iron Building!! Makes it look like its only one room wide!

Thanks for the update.

dla said...

I just hope that Kail goes home this week. Go after Zach, Mike and Jensa later.

If Dick were to use Jensa's logic, and work to eliminate the negativity in the house, Kail is currently the MAJOR contributor on that end.

Didn't like her from the bio, didn't like her at the start, and like her even less now. She is a downer, and is certainly not good at playing the game. Selfishly, she is not good TV, either.

Buh bye Kail!

i'd like to see zach go up on the block with kail. and honestly i'd rather have Kail leave because i'm tired of hearing her say the same stuff over and over and over. but then if zach went home i wouldn't care either.

Watching the Showtime show tonight it sounded like the house is starting to turn on Nick. Amber and Jameka were talking about how he told each of them about his Mrs. Robinson alliance and said that he hadn't told anyone else when really he had. I think Kail's plan to "out" Nick and Zach is working somewhat. I want her gone, then Zach, then Mike.

I hope ED puts Kail out like he said he would. If I was in the cage, I would commit hamstercide on Kail. What a pest...she whispered with Amber outside on the couch and ED was sitting there too. Just nibbles and nibbles away at ya...I would be screaming leave me alone, go away.

barbwire said...

Ed better watch out, if he targets someone other than Kail, she may be weepy now, but she will bounce back & campaigne even stronger to get ED out of the house - she did win HOH after all, & can do it again

Anonymous said...

I think you're right, Barb. I don't think she'll be that rattled by Mike's departure NOT to win HoH. I also think all of this will blow up in Dick's face. If Mike goes, there is still Zach or Kail to win HoH and put him on the block. If he truly is rubbing people the wrong way, they will remember during the vote.

I guess I would prefer for Kail to go. My next choice would be Zach.
I hope Dick will continue to play smart. He is currently my fav but he has not played smart the past couple of days.
If he wants to stay for the long haul he can't alienate the other HG.
Being HOH can backfire and put a target on a player. He should walk on eggshells for a few days, although I know that's not his style.

Anonymous said...

Kail needs to go. Mike may be a strong player, but perhaps they should try to involve him in their game plan.

Anonymous said...

Like Deanna, I, too, am wondering if Nick is as sincere as he appears to be with Danielle...that said, Sincerity in the BB House??! Danielle appears to be intuitive about house people, to a 20 year old degree, but also seems to believe him. Danger Will Robinson! (a different family than the Roberson's) I can see that all of ED's talk is to find out who will carry tales, or is it just him letting power go to his mouth? Thank you Jackie, and great photo..show us more! Sue

Dick had better watch out! He is telling way to many people way too much stuff and it may come back to bite him in the the butt!! His latest about setting a trap for Nick and Zach seeing who the leak is... please he blabs everything to everyone and what if Kail finds out its Nicks fault... if Kail finds out its HIS fault!! His mouth may very well get him in trouble in this game and it may be sooner than later. Get Kail out now! on another note... I feel bad for Amber that nude photos of her in and out of the bath tub were posted on the internet.

how did the big brother gathering iin nyc go?

Kail should go, she is insincere.

Anonymous said...

Donna - Amber knows where she is and what goes on there. She knows there are cameras everywhere and millions of people have the live feeds. She knew exactly what she was doing when she did the naked bath. I don't feel sorry for her at all. I'm sure she put herself in that situation on purpose!

orkmommy... I guess I'm naive lol
Ok I'm done feeling sorry for her....thanks for setting me straight!

Jackie - Thank-You for providing` us with daily informative updates ( you rock )I've read your blogs for years. IMHO I personally believe your blogging is most accurate along side monitored exceptionally well ~I agree with many of you regarding Kali's behavior, it's apparent Kali's accustomed into having various stressful situations handled her way. In any event, Dick stated Kail may be too weak/rattled however, I'm incline to believe she'll be stronger,therefore Dick will continue to be her primary target, Kail perhaps views herself as this " stronger " player by commenting other HG's are " scared " of Dick, in` retrospect Kail probably imagines shes the only one who isn't afraid of Dick..implying Dick will be her
" job".. Dick should realize Kali's focus will be directed at getting rid of him. ~ Tom`

Jackie: I would be scared for Humanity if it turned out that Jen was actually smart and just playing the Dumb Annoying Brunette Bimbo card to stay in the game!

:-O

So was your Blogger's gathering Sex&TheCity-ish?

No problem Donna...just call me the "voice of reason".

Jackie - love the pic of the building. It's always been one of my favorite to see in movies and on TV. I never knew what it's name was though! I just think it's so cool because of the triangular shape!

Hope the "convention" was a success! Wish I coulda been there!

LYSS said...

I'm torn..yes I want jennoying gone...but i want kail gone too..the only ones that i really like are Dick, Daniele, Nick, and Eric and Dustan..I don't know that much about Jemeka, other then when she jump'd on Zack last week..i like her but she's no a fav..and Zack and Mike, i have no idea about..so i could care less either way..as long as my top 5 don't go..and Dick wins the whole thing..i'm just here for good tv and drama..and i know that jennoying is a good part of the drama..she is just too annoying to keep too long..but if you think about it..it'd be smart to take her to the end..no one could stand to let her win..oh i forgot Jessica, lord know w/that voice how could i??? but she needs to be out too..

Jackie, Just wondering....In previous seasons you gave us updates a few or MORE times a day. Now were lucky IF it's twice a day. Why? Thats why I loved this site. I mean, it's already 2 pm on Sunday in NY and the last update was last night?

Jackie S. said...

ANONYMOUS @1:04 PM - First off, it's NOT 2 PM here on the east coast. It's only 1. Second, the HG are still for the most part asleep. Third, I've obviously been a bit tied up for the last few days in NY as I've mentioned several times.

Very little has happened since my last report which was actually up at past one in the morning despite its yesterday date.

There are plenty of sites which report every breath the HG take if that's what you're looking for. This was never one of that kind as it's only me doing it. I have a full time job, I write for TV Squad and here... sorry it's not living up to the expectations of someone who posts anonymous comments.

Hey ladies...

I just saw a blurb on Joker's which led me to the E!-Dr. 90210 website. Guess who's making his debut on July 30 @ 10pm EST???

Dr. Will is back on the small screen!! I've been waiting months for this!!!

Hi Jackie...this is Darlene from long time ago. I'm more of a Lurker...than a commenter, but I absolutely love your BB Blog. You forgot to tell anonymous that you were also recuperating from knee surgery last year at this time. That's why you could watch the BB House 24/7. And you did! Don't think you ever slept. You're doing a great job! And congratulations on the TV Squad "Paying" job. You deserve it!

Anonymous said...

Jackie,

My voice is only one among MANY, MANY, MANY who appreciate you & sing your praises!!!!

I found you the first season that you started blogging BB & have been a faithful follower ever since...my comments here are infrequent but I so daily enjoy reading what everyone has to say....Orkmommy, Petals, etc. (yes, even "anybodybuthillary"...glad he's not picking on Janelle anymore!!:)

Just know you are loved & appreciated by all!!!!
We DON'T appreciate ANONYMOUS @1:04 PM

Jackie S. said...

Thanks Darlene. The knee surgery was actually the year before last and I did have a lot more time then. At the moment, I'm waiting for one of the TV Squad articles to get published - I wrote that this morning. But the house is dead! Unless I want to say Kail moped on the couch in the backyard as planes flew overhead, I don't have much of a report.

I can't make things up and I refuse to post each breath they take. So, I have to wait for them to actually DO something enough to give me something to report!

Oh Jackie, there's no need to defend yourself. As we've all said so many times in the past, this is YOUR blog and you can do what YOU wish with it. If YOU want to go on vacation and not post for days, that's YOUR prerogative. (Of course, we'd miss you very much!)

I can't stand when people come here thinking you owe them something. Like you said, there are tons of sites out there that we can go to for a quick fix. As a matter of fact, I have Joker's Updates open right now!

Keep up the awesome job Jackie! You don't need to explain yourself to some anonymous commenter. Those of us who follow you faithfully and actually leave a name love you and that's all that matters!

Jackie S. said...

Thanks, SMH... I really don't mind anonymous comments, but I prefer when folks sign off with a name or initials, something. It's the anonymous anonymous comments which take a dig and run which irk me!

ORKMommy - Thanks for the Will show link... I've been anticipating that show! I know that off BB season, I'd take a day off from blogging here and there, but I think the only time I wasn't here during the BB season on a daily basis is two years ago when I went away for three days to attend my brother's wedding out of state. I haven't had a vacation and I'm not a kid on a high school vacation with no job responsibilities writing this blog.

But, then again... the HG have to live up to their part. I'll post the latest shortly...!

pickles said...

Jackie, If that anon commenter really looked at your site regularly he/she would have know about the get together that was planned. It's just someone trying to get a dig at you. Shake it off, your faithfulls love you. You rock. :)

Anon 1:04 needs to GET A LIFE!! Sure many of us check in several times a day for an update/comments but it's not a big deal if nothing is posted! I would be worried about you if you didn't have anything to do but blog all day. We should just be happy that you have this site so we can get info days before the show airs. Keep up the good work and THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!

Jackie - love your blog. Found it two years ago and am hooked!

Just hope the house guests realize they have to get rid of Kail before sequester. She could drive them nuts in sequester!

Keep up the great work!

Jackie: um, you realy COULD quit your job and not sleep or eat so's you could entertain us all for free with your blog...

I think Dick made a mistake in putting Jen up against Kail... he should've chosen an "under the radar type" like Jameka, and then hopefully been able to backdoor Jen that way. Kail should stay-- she makes for just as entertaining TV as does Dick at this point. Love to see her squirm.

Yeah, Jackie... who needs to eat, pee, sleep, pay rent, see the light of day.... sheesh, you really are selfish. NOOOOOOT! YOU RULE! I look forward to every word you write, and I thank you profusely for it all!
