'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Report - Monday 8/13

Jackie's TV Blog, BB8, Big Brother 8

The Good Father graphic is courtesy of Zoetawny. He must have said some sweet things at that POV ceremony!

That post I was talking about is up over on TV Squad.

After a hectic evening, I'm here to let you know what I thought was interesting or important from that Big Brother House of Odd Folks:
  • Jessica didn't go to bed until past 8 in the morning (their time).
  • Big Brother woke them up not much more than an hour after Jessica went to bed promising the POV Ceremony would be in 90 minutes.
  • Dustin is mad because he thinks Dick is messing with and taking his things.
  • Jessica and Dustin discussed the scenarios -- if Daniele comes off the block, he'll go up against Dick. If Dick saves himself, it will be Jen against Daniele.
  • Jessica told Jen that she would go up if it's Daniele on the block. Jen was not a happy camper.
  • Jen told Dick and Daniele.
  • Amber and Jameka think the juices are tainted and that Dick did something to them.
  • Jessica got worried because Eric wouldn't talk to her. Is he in an alliance with Jen? (We know what happened there, America.)
  • Eric ended up feigning an illness, going to the DR about it and getting told to stay in bed away from everyone. (That's just shy of cheating!)
  • As she was alone in the HOH, Jessica mumbled to herself that "he" had deals with "both of them." Then Jessica cried.
  • Dick told them that he put something in the juice when they asked him, but he didn't.
  • Jen told Daniele and Dick that Dustin will go on the block if Daniele is saved.
  • Dick told Daniele that she should try for a possible deal with Eric. Daniele suggested she use Zach as a go-between on it.
  • Dick saved Daniele and then went around apologizing to everyone for his actions -- "I was making you hate me so you'd vote me out if the nominations remained the same. I did it for my daughter!"
  • Jessica told Eric she was having doubts about Dustin, but now Zach's vote is locked in with them.
  • Eric told Jessica he thinks she made the right choice in putting Dustin up in Daniele's place. (Of course, cha-ching, money in his pocket!)
  • Dustin told Zach he knew he was going up and did it for the group.
  • Daniele told Jen that she had been told that in week 7 there would be a twist introduced in the game.
  • She said she got it from someone not in the house. It sounds like it could be prior to entering, but I don't know. They went to trivia and music before she could say more.
  • Dick and Dustin had verbal fisticuffs. Evel was telling Dustin his aggression was for a reason (to save Daniele) and Dustin just wants his stuff back and for Dick to stop messing with it.
  • Dick said he won't get his shirt with the fake tattoo sleeves back until he leaves because he uses it to mock him.
  • He then went around un-hiding all of Dustin's things he's been taking.
  • When Evel tried to tell Eric why he acted before he did, Eric told him he was too worried about redeeming his own self to fight. He also said that if anyone other than Jessica had won HOH, he would have gone home this week. (Including his buddy Dustin, eh?)
  • Dick worked on turning Eric against Dustin (little does he know, but America may do that for him).
  • Dick told Eric about the one-week deal they had with Amber and Dustin.
  • Eric again denied being the vote for Nick to stay when the house vote was Kail to stay. He also told Dick it bothered him that Daniele and he were so quick to believe that one banner plane.
  • Dick predicted that Dustin will be the first evicted from the LNC Remainders.
  • There was a feeds block and when they came back, they were celebrating being at the halfway point of the game.
  • Jameka and Jen want to be on The Amazing Race.
  • Dick told Jessica that if the vote is 3-3 on Thursday, he'll have her back if she keeps him in the tiebreaker vote.
  • Daniele advised Dick not to trust Jen completely.
The feeds have been blocked for some time now. I'm not sure what's going on. I think they may have food coming in (Dustin mentioned food and he's on slop) and some sort of private party for the halfway point or something.

UPDATE -- The feeds have returned. They did have a feast, music, and not sure all what. They're full and happy now.

Found this on EW.com - It is what Jedi Howie had to say about the BB game. He is an Evel Dick fan too.

" You just can't break the main rule: You cannot physically harm or threaten to harm someone,'' says Howie. Otherwise, according to Howie, harsh language is not only accepted but welcomed, and anyone who calls himself a true student of BB should know by now that verbal abuse is a cold, hard reality of the game. ''You're going to get lied to, backstabbed, go through vigorous competition, and you'll get personally and verbally attacked. It's like, if you want to be a scuba diver and you're afraid of getting into the water, then you're getting into the wrong element. The house is a true pressure cooker. Anything can happen. Evil Dick feels it's in his best interest to harass Jen, and I do like that. It's pretty strategic. And if he ends up winning, well, it certainly worked for him.'' And who does Howie dislike? He's not the biggest fan of Dustin and Jameka, and he also thinks the weepy Amber is emotionally unfit to play the game. ''If she accidentally wins HOH and has to decide who to nominate, we're all going to need windshield wipers for TV screens!"

I think he sums up the pressure that this game puts on people & that outside this house they probably are much different people (at least we hope so!). :)

an even funnier video in regards to Ambers desire to be "America's Top Model", and being on magazine covers

Thanks Deanna for posting the Howie article. It sounds like he understands the game. The original concept, if I remember it, was to completely shut the hgs off from the outside world and watch how it affected them mentally. The early seasons didn't allow writing or communicating with each other. I think I remember a hg getting called to the DR because they were trying to tell another hg who they were voting for. They couldn't have words or letters on their clothing even. All that has eased, but the idea of isolation is still there, and that works on their minds. It is impossible for anyone to relate to the hg actions when we are on the outside. At least that is what I think about when I see them. They have only seen the same faces for over a month, talked to the same people, second guessed every thought and decision. Sue

Sue, I agree it is hard for us to relate to the houseguest's actions as we have plenty of stimuli in our lives and the houseguests only have each other.

Personally, I feel the personalities we see in the house are the personalities of the houseguests times ten - in other words, Dick is rude and crude in the real world, Daniele whines, Zach doesn't fit in, Jen focuses on the physical, Jameka has strong religious beliefs, and so on but these characteristics are not as "in your face" in the real world.

Lucky for us we do not have to see our own quirky characteristics magnefied this way. So love it or not, that is what happens when you lock-up a bunch of strangers with too much time on their hands.

To quote Dick, "It is what it is."

Lucy, I like the point you made...a concentrate of a personality. It seems to intensify the negative qualities and lose the better parts a person and I think that is what would happen to me if I were in the house. Almost sounds like what happens when someone is drinking and the inhibitions fall away. Sorry to get so deep this early in the day. I am off to work. Sue

Jackie, Eric feigning sickness doesn't seem shy of cheating to me, it seems more like flat-out cheating to me. The producers should be ashamed of themselves. He's supposed to be oue player, not theirs. We should be able to mess with Eric's head all we want.!
