'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Report - Evening and Overnight Into Monday 8/13

Well, it's been a bit of a snoozefest coming from the Big Brother house since yesterday afternoon. Many of the houseguests slept well into the afternoon and, as a result, are still up and wide-awake now.

But they're boring.

Sigh.

Here's what has been happening in the Big Brother House of He Said She Said:
  • Jen ran from a moth in the backyard. While Dick said it was a small one, Jen said it was "the size of a bird."
  • Eric thinks this is the best looking BB cast so far. @@
  • At one point Dick started to ridicule Jameka and Daniele told him to "shut up." He did.
  • Zach isn't the only HG who hurt himself at the food comp -- Dick has a nasty cut on his wrist.
  • Zach told Amber that he had a long talk with Dick about calming down some because he's going to have to be in sequester with them.
  • Dick is certain he'll be going home and has calmed down some.
  • Zach and Amber exercised together. He's put himself on a very strict regimen as he lost a lot of weight prior to coming in the house and wants to keep it off.
  • Daniele thinks that if Dick leaves this week, it's only her and Amber who don't fit in with the house left. (I beg to differ. I so don't care for Amber, but she seems to be in with the crowd. I think it would still be Daniele, Zach, and Jen on the outer fringes.)
  • Dick is sure that Jen is going on the block in his place at the POV Ceremony (later today). He told Daniele to start "getting into her head" after she goes up in an effort to work herself in with her better.
  • Amber told Daniele it was "sweet" that Nick left her (Daniele) his bandana to wear for good luck in comps.
  • Jen told Eric that Dick will be using the veto to save himself. (She may be a JenBot, but she does like to stir things up!)
  • The LNC Remainders are already fractioning -- Amber told Jessica that Eric should know after last week that he'll be the first target in their group.
  • Dustin is peeved -- he thinks Dick stole his King robe, his fake tattoos and hid the olives, too!
  • Amber said she's willing to go on the block as a pawn if Dustin doesn't feel comfortable. (Oh, I'd love for her to go!)
  • Daniele doesn't know how much she can trust Jen. (Not much, I say. Although Jen has repeatedly said she's there for fun, she's got her game on and knows what she's doing.)
  • Dustin no longer wants to go on the block as a pawn. He says it's because he's been arrogant and thinks that's going to hurt him. (You don't say?) He said one of the things he wanted to work on this summer is his arrogance. (I guess recognizing it is a step.)
  • Dustin also thinks Eric might vote to evict him if he's on the block.
  • Amber seems irked with Dustin over this latest.
  • Amber also told Dustin to stop repeating things she says about Zach to him.
  • They played beer pong again.
  • Amber isn't thrilled that Eric has been talking to Jen.
  • Right now as I post this, the LNC Remainders are all abuzz because Eric has been in the DR "forever." Yesterday, neither Amber or Eric went to the DR and someone named Rebecca was the voice of BB in there.
  • Now Eric is having an interesting talk with Jessica about working to the final two -- who they can trust and who they can't.
Once again, I ask that folks PLEASE be respectful of others in the comments area. There is no reason for the comments area to be like the house. We're better than that! I don't care which houseguest is your favorite -- each of these folks this year have flaws and those flaws are likely to be dwelled upon by those who don't like them. No one need to constantly defend why they like so-and-so or insult others because they do or don't. It all boils down to ... this is a game. We don't know these houseguests and, in the end, they won't affect our personal lives.

Sigh.

Greets to all this morning - It would be a dream come true, Having Amber Evicted! Thanks(( Jackie ))
Coffee time, long journey ahead, side note; I wouldn't mind Dustin getting ultimate surprise of having AP voting him out. LOL

Oh please Jessica put Dustin up as a pawn so he can get voted out.

I think that if Zach, Daniele, and Jen got together they could do some damage. I might even kindasorta cheer them on maybe. I'm having a difficult time liking anyone for the win.

Eric is saying he is getting sick to Jess...imao AP sickness and silent treatment!!!

Hey Jackie, I am wondering about game plans of the hgs. Most don't seem to have any. But, pretend they do and their actions in the house so far have just been part of their brilliant knowledge of how to play the game to win. Then taking that to the next step, if the winner of BB8 should be the one who played the best game (as has been said about past seasons) then who would that be. Not the favorite player, but best game player. I don't know this seasons happenings as well as many here on the board, so you will have to correct or add to my list:
I'll begin:

Amber: Presented herself as a mother, vulnerable and playing to better her family life. Her Game Plan : If I turn on the tears people will think what I say is sincere and not want to add to my woes, so won't hurt me by voting me out.

Jameka: She presented herself as deeply religious. Her Game Plan: Be the person the others know they can trust and rely on.

Jessica: She presented herself as the girl next door, the popular girl from high school who was also approachable: Her Game Plan: Stay in the background as long as possible, let the others pick each other off.

(sorry Jackie my game plan was to complete this, but I just noticed the clock. Got to go. Enjoy your day and thanks for the updates. Sue)

oh please bye bye dustin or amber. think about it: there could be enough votes
1. Danielle
2. Jen
3. Zach
4. Eric (only if america votes for him to do so)

lets keep our fingers crossed.
thanks jackies for all the blogs!

Oh,wouldn't that be something to watch! I don't dare get my hopes up,for I think Jess is too smart to put one of the "turd herd" up(saw somebody else use that name and I like it!). I think it will be Jen or Zach on the block.But we all know,if by some chance one of the "herd" goes up,Eric will be voting for them!!! My only concern is Jen and Zach's votes,I'm not sure either of them are solid in D&D's camp,but we can dream can't we? The looks on their faces would be..........priceless!

VOTE OUT DICK> HE IS A DICK!

The house will surely be BORING!! without Dick.

Anonymous said...

I wouldn't be the least surprised to see Dick use the veto to save himself in the hopes that someone else would be backdoored.

Anonymous said...

I thought Dick had committed to use the veto on Danielle. I watched the HOH discussion and I don't think Jessica is going to let anyone sway her to do something stupid.

I would love for Amber, Eric, or Dustin to go up with the thought they controlled the vote to only have Jen and Zach flip.

I don't think there's much chance of Jessica putting anyone but Jen or Zach in Daniele's (or Dick's if he saves himself) place. Why take that risk when its totally unnecessary. Even if they're not sure if it was Eric changing the votes, they know somebody was. I really want to see Dick go, I can't bear to look at him anymore. I used to enjoy how he shook things up, but he has taken it to a whole 'nother level. He's like a really abusive boyfriend that although he never lays a hand on you, beats you down constantly with verbal abuse. Will the house be more boring without him, yes, but that's okay with me.

Thanks for your blog Jackie! Every summer at BB time (this is my 3rd year), I visit your blog and look to see what's going on in the house. Your reports reflect your calm gentle nature, as well as your far out sense of humor.
My family all watches BB together...My husband and 2 teenagers. We always enjoy the show...but last night, my husband got so mad as he was watching, he just shut off the TV, and said "I'm not watching this anymore." Mind you, he only saw a small portion of the crap that is really going on. I doubt CBS will portray Eric in an accurate manner. I feel as others have said, that he is not "America's Player". He is "America's Weasel". They are not going to show his horrible incest commentary about D&D. They didn't show how he lied to Jessica about what Amber's secret was.
Is this a good thing for CBS, or the producers of the show? Will this result in good ratings? It will probably be ratings gold for CBS.
I'm willing to bet my husband will cool off, and be back in front of the telly by Tuesday evening.
Will Dick last until the Thursday eviction night? I would not be surprised to hear that he has physically assaulted someone and had to be taken out of the house (if he hears them talking about incest). How sad for Dick and Dani.
Oh well, thank you again Jackie for watching for us. You are awesome!

I don't think, either, that Jessica would be dumb enough to put up anyone from the nerd herd, though I, also, would love to be wrong on that. But it surprises me that they are already snipping at each other. I figured that would happen after ED, Daniele and Jen were gone. That might be of some benefit to Jen and Zach whom I will be rooting for after ED and Dani are gone. NEVER thought I'd be saying that about Jen! But after the antics of the nerd herd, Jen is mild in comparison.

Anonymous said...

We can hope..anon 803am.
Dustin says he would be a pawn if Dani gets the veto and Amber said she would be the pawn if Dick kept the veto. Hope all vote to get one of them gone. Imagine the shock in the turdherd and the look on Eric's face when he had to vote that way. We DO NOT want Eric in the seat he could not vote (we want him to vote) and I doubt Jess would put him up after last week. We will see.

Jackie: Yo' Mama! (I hope that wasn't an offensive comment! ;-) )

Two fave moments from last night: Zach being sexy in his bunny suit and Amber praying to God like she was having a conversation with Him in a bar)

This cast is making my family look functional.

Anonymous said...

Albglinka: Your last statement was hysterical. Same could be said for my family. It really cracked me up!

Anonymous said...

oh Jckie can I ppleeeeeasseeee still do name-calling about Eric? He is such a weasel...if he wasnt AP I think he would be worse.
I hope they tal to him about his nasty mind and mouth.
I think Dick will give the POV to Dani and then Jess will put up Jen or Zach....she doesnt want a vote to be lost from her LNC
Did I say Eric was a weasel?
Oh.....And Amber Cried

Anonymous said...

Here's a interesting idea. Jessica puts Eric up in Dick's place, therefore negating the AP vote even if she doesn't know about it, and there is a tie vote 3/3 and she has the final vote to send Dick packing. She would be sending a powerful message to Dick and the others that she is in the game and does know exactly what she is doing. Pretty sure she will play it safe with Zach or Jen but it would be be a fun thing to watch.

Go Jessica to the end BOOYA!

yeah jess really needs to put up dustin! we can get him out!

Sheree said...

I think if Dick chooses to save himself Dani will go. I don't beleive that Jessica will put up any of her allies. That would be one less vote and they would lose controll of the house....she's not dunb. If Dick chooses to save Dani he will leave and when one of them leaves the block I think Jen will go up....Zack donning the bunny suit and doing a bunny dance for Jessica probably will keep him in the game...I don't think anyone sees him as a threat.

Anonymous said...

I am watching last nights After Dark! Wow! Amber, Jameka and Dustin are very paranoid! It's sad to think they could possible win $500,000.00 while hiding out in the HOH room.

I would love to see Jessica put up Dustin or Eric in Dick's place!!! If only she would take that chance! I agree with those of you who said a Jess, Dani, Jen and Zach alliance would be awesome!

Thanks Jackie! Love your blog!

Anonymous said...

It always amazes me how the "group" in power always assumes they are going to win the next HOH. It would be great for a run of Danielle, Jen, and Zach to win HOH in effect neutralizing the nerd herd to fight among themselves. GO Outcasts!!!!!

Anonymous said...

Dustin with his constant back talking is annoying. Do it face to face like ED does. I really hope a pawn is used. Especially Dustin. I'd love to see the look on his face when he is voted out. The Nerd Herd would be in complete shock.
Go Donato's !

I think all of the viewers of BB8 should ban together, take up a collection of at least $4,500,000 to pay off all the HGs and send them packing.
CBS can show reruns of CSI, Survivor, TAR or whatever.
With this year's cast of losers on BB8 and the failure of Pirate Master, I would think showing high level staff meetings of CBS brass trying to regroup and place blame for the failure of 2 shows would be more entertaining than the drivel they have given us this summer.

I am not a fan of the turd herd.... however i understand that everyone has beliefs, but i do personally feel that some of the houseguests are making a mockery of being a christian. ( jameka & amber) Stop praying for help in the game ... there are bigger things in life that people are praying for... I guess i just feel that ED is just playing the game with slamming everyone..a and it seems to be working b/c he is messing with them mentally. ( sounds like a Doctor i used to know! chill town rocks! ring ring )

OK thats all -- after lastnights show and all the praying for strength -- and clapping in peoples faces -- I am ready for the turd herd to be flushed away!

Anonymous said...

I would probably respect Dick's game play better (as a strategist he does very well) if he wasn't so nasty. I don't have live feeds, but from reading Jackie's posts, Eric's comments aren't any better.

Sydney, please keep posting! Different opinions keep the reading interesting! :)

Jackie, as always, you rock!

Forget the Amber cried drinking game....the new one should be Gulp for God.
Everytime his name is mentioned take a big swig of your favorite beverage.
That will ease the pain of watching the show in no time!!!

Ring....ring...... Doctor will would have told them all different stories and then laugh about it in the DR with Boogie....I don't think I ever saw him stooping to the levels these house guests have and that includes everyone in the house...he never screamed and yelled or called names (to their faces) the reason it worked so well was because everyone thought he liked him and they were safe with him...very different from these people in my opinion.

My favorite moment from last night..."Bunny on a treadmill!"

Zach does make me laugh. Even when he's clueless, talking about how the bunny suit might get him a date with Jessica after the show. Keep dreamin', McLurky.

On another subject...

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE fans: The elimination show is on tonight at 8pm, don't forget! :)

I am still a fan of Eric and Jessica to the end. I think they are such a cute little team. I know, I'm in the minority for liking Eric. But it is what it is.

My question...has anyone seen a "tally" on where Eric is at on completing tasks? I would think he has to be getting up there...

Just a thought,the HG that wants to win can gurantee it by taking Dick to the final 2. These HG's are not playing very smart.

I no more think the show will become more boring than it already is once Dick leaves than I would think a relationship would be boring without hitting. I personally don't find abuse entertaining, good strategy, or as being something someone "deserves".

D&D are hypocrites. Dick constantly attacks everyone screaming that they are all liars. Yet Danielle lied big time to Jen, telling her that "she had her back to the end" and then turned around and laughed about it to Zach, telling him she was just stringing Jen along. So why is it some sort of cardinal sin for the LNC to lie to the opposing team, but it's good game play for D&D to lie to their own alliance members?

If Jameka or Amber simply show up where Dick is then "they provoked Dick and then got what they deserve". But if he seeks them out, provokes them, he's "just playing a good game".

Dick, in theory, has some regard for his mother and her religious beliefs. Yet he ridicules and mocks Jameka who has those very same beliefs. He screams at her that there is no god and that she is a moron for thinking there is. So what does that make Dick's mother?

Dick slammed Eric to Amber for trying to hurt and manipulate Amber's vote using her secrets against her. But by doing this Dick actually did to Amber what Eric only threatened to do. He hurt her, and did it intentionally to manipulate her vote.

Dick is constantly telling us how much he loves and regards his daughter, constantly threatened to kill Nick if he hurt her. Yet Dick seems to despise women in general. He seems to have no boundaries he won't cross, he uses the C word, he attacks their characters, their weight, their looks, their mothering skills, the realness or unrealness of their breasts, their sexual skills, their marital status, and he fantasizes about murdering them while raping them.

Lying in these games is not the crime against humanity that Dick constantly makes it out to be. I'm guessing it's on page one of the rule book: "it's impossible to win unless you lie to and deceive at least some of the people some of the time". Hypocrisy and double standards are a whole other matter.

Any one individual who constantly slams one person or group for behavior "X" and applauds another person or group for the same behavior is nothing more than a hypocrite. And Dick is the king of hypocrites. He talks non stop about all the stupid mistakes his fellow HGs make and that they will all lose the game because of it. Well whose losing the game for Dick? I'm sorry I couldn't hear what you said...

Nana in the NW "GULP FOR GOD" ROFLMAO

One of the best lines was "I'm sorry I did drugs, I did it for energy" or something like that!

Someone asked for Eric's Tally:

According to Dingo's site back on August 8th (before she shut it down) Here was the tally:

NOMINATED
AMERICA'S PLAYER
9 of 14: $10k so far per my tally:
#1 sob story to Kail - success
#2 evict Carol - success
#3 nominate Jessica - fail
#4 sleepwalk - fail (on a technicality)
#5 evict Joe - success
#6 nominate Jen - success
#7 vandalize Jen/mustard - success
#8 evict Kail - fail
#9 nominate Jen - success
#10 'I'd do that for a dollar' - success
#11 evict Kail - fail
#12 nominate Jen - success
#13 promise Jessica F2 - success
#14 flatter someone ?
There are more tasks beyond that: Evict Kail, Nominate Dustin, give Jessica the silent treatment.

America did vote for him to give Jessica the silent treatment. Tomorrow night's show will be worth it to watch just to see him pissed in the DR

After watching "After Dark" a few thoughts...

*Amber praying out loud was so staged. If I was an out-loud prayer (I pray within), I certainly wouldn't do it where I know the whole world is watching. I also wouldn't pray for such frivolous things. She is NUTZ!

*The "turd herd", were talking that Jess didn't want to put Jen or Zach up but a pawn instead so that they (Jen & Zach) will think they are a part of their alliance. (I'm guessing so if they win HOH this next week, they will not nominate a "Turd"?)

*Dustin back peddled on his desire to be put up as the pawn. Giving two reasons, but sounding like a scaredy-cat(his usual). #1 He came onto BB to work on his arrogance, & the only reason he offered himself as a pawn was in arrogance (ok, whatever dude).#2 He doesn't fully trust Eric. He then told Amber & Jameka that he would if it was him against Dick, but that Eric should be the pawn if it was Daniele on the block. He said something about personal reasons with Dick & it makes more sense, but I saw it as he knows everybody would vote Dick gone & not him and he felt safer with that scenario. He really does annoy me to no end.

I don't have a favorite, not a favorite to like or one to not like. I just don't. Zach might be my default houseguest, although he has said some pretty hard to accept things, too. Don't get me wrong, I don't expect a player to be extra good or not lie or even behave themselves. That is the problem I am having with this season. None of them have that 'it factor'...at least for me. What if Carol and Mike (sounds like the Brady Show) were the best to watch and they left early. Just saying, none of them light my world. Sue

I've been reading Joker's and it sounds like POV ceremony is going to take place soon. Eric is also in bed saying he is sick and the DR told him to go to bed and stay there until after the ceremony(that's his story to Jessica so she doesn't get mad/hurt). Jess is starting to get suspicious that he is in an alliance with Jen/Zach because he is talking to Jen alot. I feel bad for Jess because she is getting hurt and doesn't understand why.
Amber folded Zach's underwear and complained because she didn't fold his socks!!!!

Best scenes from last night:
Zach doing the "bunny dance" for Jess
Amber praying to God as is she was reading from a script and saying "excuse me" when she burped!!! Now if she wasn't playing to the cameras........

The first show Julie talked about AP and introduced Eric. I have forgotten what she said, but know that he had to make it a certain time in the game without being discovered or evicted for something to happen. Don't remember what...maybe make more money? But, one thing I am wondering is if a hg could get some money if they discoverd him? Sue

Anonymous said...

on live feeds seems zach will foil the get rid of dustin plan if it is dick and dustin on the block. he promised jessica he will vote for dick and will not break it. not sure how these folks think they can win by making all these promises that they surely should not keep. does zach not see he is last on the totem pole. jessica should see that dustin would plan to get her out before cry baby and her god praying partner jameka. I like jessica, not eric. I like danielle and dick too. I would hate to see jen on the block again but that is who will go up if danielle comes off, at least according to the feeds.
that would stink. I was hoping for dick to stay on the block and amber or dustin to be the pawn. should be quite interesting if a pawn is used and we could get eric to vote out a member of the LNC.
but we need zach! I oculd never make it in that house.
I find myself rooting for Jen to win the entire thing after weeks of detesting her. Dustin and eric's arrogance changed that for me.
