'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Into the Morn - Sat., 8/18

Jackie's TV Blog, BB8, Big Brother 8

My latest TV Squad post went up overnight. You're all welcome to go give it a gander!

Here's the lowdown from the late night hours into the dawn from inside that Big Brother House of "But I don't want to go among mad people." <-- Alice, in The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland.

When you think of it, the story is definitely suited to this group of houseguests, eh?

Here we go, among the mad people:
  • Jameka is really upset with Jessica over the events as of late. She's hurt and betrayed. (But I thought everything was predetermined in the game? If so, Jessica must be being guided by a higher source, right?)
  • The BB voice had to yell "stop that" at Evel for doing cannonballs in the pool.
  • Eric reminded the girls that they voted out all of the hunky guys and they're down to him, Zach, and Dick.
  • Jamkea seems to be upset that Zach grabbed bandannas for the food comp, but I still don't know what the comp itself was.
  • Jameka and Jessica talked about how much Jen has been degraded by the men-- Jameka doesn't think she's been as degraded in her whole life as Jen has been in just the house.
  • Jameka and Amber got called to the DR a lot and often weren't in there long.
  • Eric tried to tell Amber that Dustin had deals going with just about everyone in the house and was a dangerous player. She's upset that Eric didn't just tell Dustin how the vote was going to go. Eric said that wasn't his responsibility. (Duh... that kind of thing is part of the game, Amber. After all, how else could we have seen his jaw drop like that?)
  • Eric kept saying the Dustin move was purely strategic. I don't know if Amber and Jameka are buying what he's selling.
  • Jen thinks Daniele and Evel Dick need to be put up on the block again.
  • Amber is concerned that she may not be able to trust Eric. @@ (Maybe if she stopped crying so much and opened those eyes, she could see!)
  • Eric told Jameka that as long as Dick and Daniele are in the game, they'll be the target which makes him less of a target.
  • Jameka thinks Eric was disloyal to Dustin. Dustin had done him a favor and he paid back with betrayal.
  • Eric told Jameka he would have gone home in two weeks at Dustin's will, so he could ruffle feathers and get Dustin out or suffer that fate.
  • Eric asked Dick about what would happen if Jen won POV. Dick said he wouldn't be shocked and Amber would go home. (C'mon, Jen! Win that POV!)
  • Dick thinks the LNC Remainders would have been fractured this week even if Eric hadn't made his move. (I notice how Jessica is left out of a lot of this!)
  • Eric told Dick that the DR asks him about Jessica all the time. (Hey, they want shomances for ratings!)
  • After a lot of small talk, nothing new on the strategy front, all the houseguests are asleep as I post this.
The POV comp will be held sometime today. I should have the results by this evening.

Jackie - I've been meaning to tell you this for days!

I read the updates on Jokers's and just want to say THANK YOU!! Some of the conversations are soooo painful to read (like last night between J & A) and I can't imagine how bad it would be to have to watch them. I don't know how you do it, but we ALL appreciate it soooo much!!

I have a question though...how do you get caught up so quickly when you're at work or out? I know you don't watch the feeds 24/7, but you never seem to miss the important details.

Jackie S. said...

Orkmommy - It's work, but I have several places I skim for details I might otherwise miss. Even when I'm physically watching one feed, something might be happening on the other (since they usually have two views of things and call it four feeds), so I'm always researching to make sure I've mentioned the most crucial stuff in addition to the things which catch my own interest.

Sydney said...

Woah Zoe- The graphics are just getting more and more inventivve! THanks for adding so much to our blog fun.

Yes Jackie -- even though you and I have talked about how you do it, I STILL can't figure out how you sleep, eat, find time to do bills, buy groceries, etc like the rest of us humans. And now adding TV Squad --- I know you do this becasue you love to, and it shows, but there also have to be some things sacrificed because you have all of us checking in sooften, looking for more (I just got a visual of us all as little birds in a nest with our beaks open, waiting for more tidbits!)

THANK YOU for your hard work and consistancy.

Jackie I so want to thank you again for what you do. I know its a lot to keep up with, so it makes it that much more valuable to us readers.

I was just getting ready to post that Zoetawny is the best when I read your comments Sydney. I haven't given Zoetawny many kudos this season, so I hope this makes up for all those I missed. Zoe...You're amazing!

Now, if Eric was smart, he'd go back to Zack and Jen, convince them to come with him and Jess and then try to win back Jameka (Amber can go home PLEASE). They'd have to win HOH, put up D&D and they'd have the votes to get them out, one at a time. From that point on it would mean they'd really have to play the game. Something neither of them have figured out how to do.

Just a thought.

RiseandShine said...

So, since double eviction didn't happen when it usually does, when do you guys think it might happen?
Do we have enough shows left this year that they don't need to do it?
I agree with orkmommy...Kudos to you Jackie for sticking with it through live feed incidents like Naked Eric....ewwwwww...

Jackie lays in a supply of slop and protein drinks for the duration of BB. No need to shop!!!
Jackie thought that was funny !!!

PS Jackie is the bat that is flying over the BY every night.

OK I will stop but that just occured to me!!!

This week should be quiet from the ED point of harrassment and blowups! We needed a week of calm! Now Jameka and Wamber may go off, but ED should be cool!!!

PlaidChick said...

I really don't care who leaves this week, as long as it's Jameka or Amber.

Orkmommy-- yup reading that stuff is painful at times.

Jackie this has been the best summer blogging along, and commenting.

Thanks for my morning amusement, Jackie! The well-placed parenthetical remark; the perfectly placed eyeroll...those are just part of what makes you the best!! Thank you!

And Zoetawny...WOW...you've come SO far in your graphics. Such creativity, today's is just the perfect representation of "Daniele's" HOH. Thanks so much from a CT Bdoll friend ;)

And thanks to all the commenters here, this really is my very favorite BB site. Hardly bother with any others any more.

Cheers,
Sasha

Okay,I will jump on the hot tamale train...oops,wrong show...no,the Jackie hamster choo choo. It's a tedious and often boring job,and we are ever so lucky to have Jackie as our guide to all things in the house! I have tried to watch the feeds for more than an hour and,I swear,sometimes I think they aim a camera and go out for a smoke or dinner or whatever.B-O-R-R-I-N-G!!!! But most of all,I love J's humor and wonderful grasp of the English language!! What a brouhaha!!!(I love that word too...lol).And you know,I think this is a good time to remind us all that we should all pitch in a little monetary "thank you" for all she does...I've been lax in doing that and I mean to fix that now. Thanks for another dedicated season,Jackie!

I agree Jackie is the best! Regarding the Jameka and Amber convo of last night: I think Jameka said something about their families being upset when they watch the show Sunday and find out Amber and Jameka are nominated. It always amazes me how the hgs seem to forget about live feeds. As if the families weren't listening in right then to that very conversation.

Zach continues to add something to the game for me. I think of his stare as an intellect gathering information, but he has never stared at me and I haven't watch ShowToo, so maybe I would feel differently if I actually saw his look. His talk to Amber and Jameka (each seperately) left me wondering, though. The words sounded concerned and as if he was helping them accept the realty of leaving and yet I also thought he was working for Daniele and trying to talk them into not working hard for the Veto. I guess that means he is a good soul who sees their imminent breakdown, or a good game player. Either works for me.

I don't want Jen or Zach to leave yet and that just leaves Jameka and Amber to go this week. I don't think either are dangerous, so it is too bad to waste an eviction on not getting out a strong player, but I think Jen will prove fun to watch as she begins to fight at the end. The rumor about her knowing about Eric might also play into it. It would not surprise me if the Veto is used, if Eric goes though. Thank you, Jackie, Sue

not sure if this was addressed or not but; how can dustin be there right before the head of household competition when he was voted out? very poor editing! jeannemarie

Ok so I was just talking to one of my friends- who watches BIG BROTHER also and he does not like Eric he calls him
GONNERERIC- a slam for Dustin and Joe about their problem-
But is was just really funny when I heard that... maybe I haven't heard him referred that way have any of you?

Anonymous said...

Dick said something so funny yesterday. He said,
" I was on the block with the Gnorrhea Boys both times and they went home.".
Eric said, " You are the Gnorrhea Killer".
Dick said, " Just call me Penicillin."

LOL

May - that's classic!! I hope they show that on the show tomorrow, but I kinda don't see it happening.

Thanks for sharing!

I want to make fun of Jessica and the attitude her parents 'installed' in her, but I just put realty for reality in an earlier comment. I wish I had heard the 'how to talk Kansan' last night. Sue

Jen wasn't choosen to play pov that sucks....< man I'm sick of backdoor plan, I hope Zach or Jess win pov neither of them will use it, here's to hoping Amber or Jameka dont win < it'll be our luck Amber does win it > it'll be a pity shame if a hg used pov on either of those two & boom it backfires, we'd have one of the dumbest move on anyone's part by using pov hoping to backdoor Jen, geez you'd think after watching how people have changed on a dime, D & D would try risking such a ridiculous move...< its not a sure bet Jen would leave no matter if she's on the block.

Dani won POV

Anonymous said...

Dani won and Amber got the trip with Dani. GREAT!!! She's in the DR now crying her eyes out. "I had a vision"! @@

This is hilarious

Anonymous said...

Danielle won the veto...she said a few minutes ago she wouldn't use it....Hello what about the JEN BACKDOOR. Yes I am tired of the backdoor but I think Jen needs to go first...Let her and Dustin the two Princesses sit together for a whole week.....That would be priceless....
Dani and Amber got some type of trip outside of the house for comming in first and second...Amber seems to be doing somewhat better with no princess in the house.

Anonymous said...

How nice,Amber gets a trip outside the house before she goes home...LOL! I just hope Dani doesn't put Jen up!It would be cool if there could be signs that say....America DOESN'T love you,Amber!!!

Right now,in the house,they are all mocking Kail and her "business sense"!! Too funny!

Anonymous said...

Lar's -- I hardly doubt Danielle will use POV, although I'm willing to bet she'll threaten various times that indeed she will use it, In fact I wouldn't be surprised if Dani attempts to make a deal with Jameka, ( Jameka will refuse stating something to the effect of " if it's meant to be " but will not campaign against Amber ) @@ However I agree if WahAmber-Jameka are taken off block per Dani, ultimately could end up being a bad decision on Dani's part, simply because it's highly unlikely AP would prefer WahAmber over Jen, though a tie is possible, ( with Dani being tie breaker ) I'm going to predict it'll be Zach who will shock all, perhaps voting opposite. Therefore it's in Dani's BEST interest to leave noms intact ; Having WahAmber/Jameka battling it out! Hopefully we'll FINALLY have an Amber Eviction, :: Sigh ::::: After all a little birdie confided in me; Dustin is lonely yearns for Amber to join him ASAP! OTH I leave you with WaHAmber's famous quote: Things happen for a reason. Hahaaaaaaa --

Deanna said...

I hope Daniele leaves the noms as they are. I really want Amber to be gone, but I hope we have an "America's Choice" before she does... I wonder why she has had no visions of how much she is not liked... Hmmmm

************************
Wow I'm actually surprised Dani has quickly made those comments; however it could be that she didn't want to say for the time being she'd use it, though I'm certain Dick has stated to Dani right now it may have sounded like a great idea to backdoor Jen, however Dick has also made reference to Eric working for BB, by this it's possible Eric may have confided in ED; if Jen is evicted, then Zach should be next ( I'm guessing it only makes sense to me ) Eric probably know's he'll get AP for Amber's eviction since she was AP for being nominated, overall its a very risky move, mainly due to constant flip flopping amongst HG's, If Dani's a good player, not just want Jen out for personal reason's, she'd wait until next week in attempt's to evict Jen, Dani has to view BIG picture what is right before her, At the end of the day; Which of the two amongst Eric or Jen would actually have Dani & ED's Backs? I can almost vision Dani weighing out her options by balancing both hand palms motioning to herself is it Jen or Eric?

I thought that too... if you menat when he'd just been evicted and then they showed him first thing as the little person comes into the house.

Then I realized that Chenbot said something like "EARLEIR today the houseguests were involved in some strange happenings..." Cut to Dustin in the house, the little man coming in... something like that. I might be wrong.

Regardless, it wasn kinda bad for them to pick the VERY FIRST cut to be of DUSTIN's reaction out of everybody the had to chose from.

PlaidChick said...

I'm reading conflicting reports, Daniele or Amber won a trip, but nothing about them going together. I see Daniele won PoV.

I still really don't care who goes this week. I'm tired of this season being the back door plan. I really don't want to see a floater win, which would be Jameka or Amber. I see how it would be in D&D's best interest to get rid of Jen because she is a strong player. Eric will continue to not play in any PoV's (magic ball) and he will continue to throw the HoH's unless it's a double eviction week and he doesn't get our votes on who to nominate because it's a live nomination ceremony.

Is it by chance that only Eric has never played in the POV? If he did, and if he won it, might AP be told to use it on one of the people on the block? That would be a good one for him to have to explain to the other HGs. I don't think his name is even in the bag. And I think ED might have sneaked a peek into the bag and discovered that fact. Maybe that's what got ED thinking that Eric might be working for BB.

Hey, Jackie, ya think we're just as "mad" as the house guests? Of course we're not. ;)

I don't know how you do it all either but I sure hope you're not eating "slop". If I lived on the East Coast I'd send over some take-out once in a while just to say thanks for all your sacrificing to make this blog so great. Your screen shot of Justin's jaw drop was priceless.

So, Dani won the veto. I'm sure daddy ED is thrilled. She's been great in comps. I hope it's true that she won't use the veto. Amber or Jameka have to go asap. I think Amber would be thrilled to be in the sequester house with her buddy, Dustin. Speaking of, anyone have any info on the sequester house?

All of your conversations here are so entertaining. I'm always cracking up. I don't like sounding like a broken record, but BB8 wouldn't be half the fun if it weren't for Jackie and all the fans here.

Thanks for the compliments and hope you're enjoying the graphics. ::::blushing:::: Reading your posts always gives me interesting ideas.

I know it's been said before but JACKIE ROCKS!

Have a great weekend!
Zoetawny~

Totally agree with you. I'm COMPLETELY surprised people didn't bring it up after about 3 vetos as a BIG topic of discussion -- that Eric is so obviously the only one who has not been picked for POV, From that alone I'd suspect WITHOUT having to peek in the bag. I don't know whether or not Dick did.

Also, with word going around so obviously when Eric was on the block from all the HG's that BB producers were leaning heavily on them to save Eric, that would be an outright clue to me that either show ratings were in big trouble if he were let go or they have their reasons... like they are using him for something and need him to stay in the game.

i have a feeling we are all going to be in for a big surprise at the end of this seasons big brother.

wasn't there another show where the viewing audience learned at the end of the show most of the participants were in on the joke?

the personalities and habits of these house guests can't possibly be for real. or can they? -jeannemarie
