'Big Brother 8' - 9/04 Show Live-Blogged from the East Coast

The show is starting here on the East Coast. This entry will be updated throughout the hour, so please refresh your page to see the latest. As always, feel free to jump in with your comments! The more, the merrier, I say!

And, if you brought snacks, share them!

Please excuse any typos or misspellings as I type the live blog a bit on the fly.

Recap ... Amber leaves once again. Into the HOH comp and Zach's winning efforts, their reactions. And, golly gee, it's Jessica and Jameka on the block after Dick/Daniele and Zach make a deal which will keep Zach safe next week.

Zach tells us he's the dreamcrusher. Jameka thinks Zach is in a deal with Evel Dick and Daniele. Jessica regrets not pushing for Zach to go instead of Amber. Eric feels it's all his fault.

Jameka and Jessica really want Eric to win the veto. Will it happen?

Daniele visits Zach in the HOH room and says how "pissed" jessica is about it. Zach thinks she should have defended herself. Daniele imitated Eric's shifty eyes.

Eric tells Jameka he feels responsible for Jessica being on the block. He's teary, his voice is shaking. Jameka is sitting there nodding at him. He told her he cares about Jessica a lot. He cries to us in a DR session.

Cut to funny stories at the dinner table. Jessica says she once said she wanted to be President or ... a waitress. Daniele and Evel Dick snipe at each other. Daniele thinks she's happy with being a waitress. Dick told her he was only making a joke while she ignores him. "I can't say anything without getting attitude." On and on ... again. I hear enough of this on the feeds!

Eric and Jessica whisper strategy. They don't want Jameka to win POV because Eric will go on the block and one of them will go home for sure. She's still saying how she had wanted Amber to stay. (Then she should have made different noms, eh?)

Janelle is sneaking into the backyard in the wee hours. (Just after they went to bed, around midnight for once.) Pink, roases, a chair, Eric thinks it could be their wedding. Janelle on the morph screen. Eric said something about Miss Piggy. Jessica loves her, Janelle compliments Daniele's bandanna. Daniele loves Janelle.

Brains, balance, will to win. Spin in the chair for 60 seconds, follow the trail to the screen, two morphed faces, figure it out, go on to the next. Janello-vision!

Daniele up first, seemed to do very well. Next up is Jameka. She's not doing so well. Evel Dick takes the throne. Janelle told him he's so hott. I'm sure it's a two t hot. He's doing better than Jameka but not as good as Daniele.

Eric seems to be exaggerating the spinning/drunk effect, but tells us how much he needs to win the veto. Not doing so hot (with one t). Zach thinks he has an advantage because he's a graphic designer. He's doing pretty good, but not quite as fast as Daniele. Jessica is trying hard.

Dick 4/Zach 6/Eric 3/Jameka 2/Daniele 7/Jessica 4 -- Daniele is the winner of the Power of Veto.

Time to say goodbye to Janelle. She a Dick flirt a bit, woohoo! ;-)

Jameka and Jessica don't look too happy and Daniele has to point that out to Dick. Then she dances in the HOH room. Zach tells her that Dick and Daniele only have to compete against Eric to send Jameka home next week -- target Jessica this week.

Eric tries to console Jessica, but she's not having much of him. She does the cover her head and hide from the world thing she does so well.

Dick is still going on about Janelle. He's beaming. Daniele looks disgusted about the whole idea. It made her throw up in her mouth a little.

Eric is trying to convince Dick that Jameka has to go. Dick is humoring Eric by playing along. Eric believes that Dick and Daniele are still in with them on the alliance. Eric looks squirmy.

Eric tries to console Jessica again. Of course, he really believes Dick. They kiss. Gag me, please!

America's Player -- the mimic task -- Evel Dick. He's happy wiith our choice. Mimic three separate occasions before the veto ceremony. He smokes and mimics. Second time. Dick is laughing. Eric spits. They're like kids flinging milk at the breakfast table from their cereal bowls. Task completed.

Dick is up early trying to figure out the evictions scenarios. He's joined by Daniele who has the same thing on her mind. They have the power to eliminate any of the three -- Eric, Jessica or Jameka. Daniele thinks Eric has been sneaky. Daniele wants them (D&) to do whatever it takes to take them farther in the game. Dick is having a harder time thinking about betraying someone he's promised a deal.

Time for Daniele to make her decision. She wants what's best for her and her Dad. Jessica would rather Eric on the block than herself. Jameka thinks Daniele should use the veto and Zach put up Evel Dick. Eric thinks Jameka needs to go, Daniele should keep the noms the same.

Veto Meeting -- Jameka says she's excited and grateful to still be there, respect her decision. Jessica says difficult situation, first time on the block, will understand if she doesn't save her. Daniele mentions backdooring and Eric squirms. She decides not to use the power of veto. Jameka and Jessica still on the block.

Jameka cries to us. Jessica doesn't trust Dick and Daniele. Once again, Daniele says she needs to do the best for Dick and herself. (Love how she always includes him in this, but treats him like dirt otherwise.)

America's Player -- Who do we want Eric to vote to evict? Jameka or Jessica?

I think the only thing grosser (is that a word???) than Dick gawking over Janelle is Janelle flirting back...

Dick was terrible with Janelle!!!

orkmommy I can't imagine you a brat!!!

Well, if Daniele wins 1 more POV, she will tie Janelle for the most wins in a single season. Janie has 7 total, but 2 were from season 6.

The girl does have game...I gotta give her credit for that!

GAG ME - that Rock Hudson (NOT!!!), Doris Day kiss was just nasty.

I thought Dick was too cute with his puppy dog eyes with Janell. It was so good to see her again.

Danielle should have been slapped with the way she snapped at her pop. She's mean.

Go Zach!

Anonymous said...

I am wondering if Eric, as America's Player, knows more behind the scenes of the game than is let on. I'll always believe his ball was never in the bag until it was needed to be in there. And I can't see how none of the HOH would put him up. I don't get it. I think there is more behind the scenes goings on than we will ever know.

Boy oh boy are the houseguests going to be pissed when they find out Eric's role.

I was kind of skeeving the eric Jessica kiss. I walked away. ewww

Anonymous said...

Lesa said..so who are we going to vote for???

I am voting for Jessica to go.

I hope Amber left a few anti-anxiety pills behind, because Eric will need medication if Jess leaves on Thurs.

Lesa said...

thanks for that becky....
Wouldn't it look better if he voted for her to stay???

You know it really makes me mad that Dani acts like she really cares for Dick one minute and then treats him like crap the next!!!

That was mean. Danielle is no dog. She has a lovely figure, great teeth. She's just miserable and bratty.

Lesa said...

remember everyone this may be a double evication week so two will go!!!

Lesa said...

and Jameka cried!

Nate said...

How does everyone keep overlooking that the person to evict should be Dick? They can blah-blah all they want about who's tougher competition, but he's the hardest competition, hands down. And he's no fun to be around most of the time, so why keep him? Fools, all of them.

CBS.com has the wrong America's Player contest up right now. It's last week's "mimic" contest. How long until they get it fixed?

Terry - he doesn't get a choice in the vote. Whatever America votes is what gets credited to Eric's vote. If we vote for Jessica, no matter how much he doesn't want to, he has no choice in the matter.

Anonymous said...

Who said Dani was ugly? Do you ever notice Jessica's nose? She makes this face and her nose and mouth look all crooked.
I think Dani is a very pretty girl. She can be pretty with or without makeup, but Jess seems to need to have a ton of makeup on to help her out.
I think Dani could stand to pack on a few pounds, though some people can't help how thin they are, so maybe she could try to choose clothes that doesn't accentuate the thinness as much.
When Dani fixes her hair, she looks even better. I personally think the brown hair she had before agrees with her and her skin tone better than the blonde, but she is far from ugly.

Eric now has $40,000 with his mimicing of Dick!

I really got a laugh out of Eric mimicking Dick.
It rates right behind Dustin being evicted as a highlight of this lackluster season for me.

Maria said...

My votes went for a Jameka eviction. I guess I don't want Eric to vote out Jessica. I hate to see men cry. Plus I don't think its fair that he played Jessica last week. She should have nominated the two she wanted and she would not be in this mess.

Well, I go back to work tomorrow after a beautiful summer off. 6 AM comes early. Have a great night.

Anonymous said...

I'm voting for Jess to go anyway. But as far as AP, had we voted for him to get Jess NOMINATED when we had the chance, THEN we could have seen whether or not his feelings were real, or if money had meant more to him than Jess.
In getting someone nominated, or any other AP task, if he doesn't do it, he just loses the money. He only has no choice when it comes to voting out someone. In this case, regardless of what he wants to do, if America votes for him to evict Jess, his vote HAS to go that way.

Terry in ca. Eric doesn't have a choice in the AP vote--he is TOLD how America voted thus his vote. He is usually told ahead of time how the AP vote went--how will he keep it together if it's Jess??

I'm having a hard time keeping my name in blue ink
(having to re-enter my comments several times). I guess blue just isn't my color!!! Back to black....

I say vote Amber out! Oh yeah, been there..done that! OK, I'm voting for Jessica to go. Squeaky Voice - BE GONE!

I thought it was cute of Janelle to flirt back with Dick. It really made his day!

Jameka next to go, I hope. She's useless, too.

Lesa said...

I also voted for Jameka sorry guys!!

I love how Danielle thinks she is the center of it all and she is a Janelle clone. Danielle is one of those "Danielle Rules, Danielle Rules" type of people.

I hope Dick wins HOH and puts her up for being a snot nosed brat.
There Im done being mean!

when jessica gets evicted 3-0, i think eric will just say something like "i'll explain it all later." regardless, i don't think eric or jess will take it well

As much as I detest Dani I do think she is really pretty with good bone structure and pretty skin. I probably would have liked her as a player this season if her dad had not been in the house with her. She probably wouldn't have been so whiney because he tends to set off her whine-o-meter. Did anyone happen to notice that Whinele laughed when Eric made the rude comment about Janelle and then in the next breath she gushed about how she loves Janelle. What a freak!

Joe in NY said...

'tI think Dick's been kind of cute lately. The Janelle flirting had me ROFL. And the Eric mimic was hysterical.

I wonder what Dick is really like out of the house. Don't get me wrong, he has some very rough edges, but it does start to look like a lot of his bullying was game play.

Anonymous said...

I am voting for Jessica to go.

She has been a snot to him since she has been on the block. She was mad at him for not winning the veto and taking her off. She should have tried harder to win it herself.

She is soooo using him. Poor guy.;P

Anonymous said...

Let's just say this right now...Dani is no Janelle!

I did think it was funny that Eric(aka the weasel)was the only one that Janie did not cheer for while they were doing the comp! IMO,he's got no room to knock anybody else in the looks department.Loved,loved,loved seeing Janie again,but it makes this season that much harder to take.I'm with Dani on the Janie/dick flirting,it made me throw up a little too,but not as much as that pukey make out scene in the backyard......ick!

I'm voting for Jess to get AP's vote. Let the little weasel earn his money.

Anonymous said...

I was thinking... We keep bashing on these HG's and the casting people for putting them there, but they're really not any worse than any other cast. The big problem here is that there's no chemistry between them. I've seen it on TV shows before. They cast them and the premise of the show sounds good, but the actors just don't seem to mesh. I think any of these HG's could have been more entertaining individually with other people in the house.

Dick - I don't think he would have been such an ass if there was a hot chic for him to flirt with. Also would have been different without Dani.

Dani - Would have made more friends early on without Nick there. Also would have been different without her dad.

Eric - Would have done well with someone like James or even Jase. AP also hasn't allowed him to play HIS game.

Zach - Would have played a very different game if he had more buddies in the house. If Nick & Mike hadn't been evicted so early I think we would have seen a very different Zach.

Amber - Ok...she never should have been allowed into the house!

I could go on with the others but I think I've made my point.

What do you guys think?

Anonymous said...

GO HOME JESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I voted for her to go on my cell ten times then the puter ten times.
I Just don't think that Eric will vote against her. He has at least 30,000 one task to fail this week wouldn't be so bad for him.

Anonymous said...

Voting to evict Jessica only because of the weasel Eric - I want to see how she reacts to Eric when she sees a vote of 3-0 for her to go; if the houseguests were smart, once they realize double eviction is on Thursday then they will evict Jameka that day as well.

Sydney said...

I can totally see Jessica as a Mean Girl, but does it at all count for her severe mood shift that the last 3 days she's been PMS-ing as well? I figure nothing is more gross that watching Eric kiss her while she lays there like she's on a EMS stretcher with her head strapped down... but if I'm wrong forgive me for bringing that little factor up. The people who have this say it's like someone else inhabits your body and acts out without seeming rhyme or reason.

NOT that I don't think she's been a bitch about being on the block, and pissy toward Eric her little love slave who's let the princess down. But I do think it certainly adds to it.

Orkmommy, I can't vote for Jessica either tonight. I know it will be her despite whether I vote or not, I'm just sayin'...

Anonymous said...

I disagree about Eric not playing his own game because of AP. Eric only HAS to vote the way we want. Doing the other tasks was his choice. He could do them to get more money, or he could give up the money by not doing them. Seems to me his greed for money is what prevented him from playing the game better. And people thought Dustin was bad for taking the money..lol.
Again, it would have been interesting had we only voted for him to nominate Jess last week to see if the money or Jess meant more to him. Now he has no choice.
I don't think it matters at this time who America votes to have evicted, I think Jess will end up going, unless Jameka does something totally stupid to blow her chance. But again, it would sure be interesting to see Jess's face if the vote is 3-0 for her to go.

Anonymous said...

Sydney, I doubt that PMS has anything to do with the way Jessica acted. She didn't seem to treat Jameka any different. She only took out her anger on everyone else in the house.

Totally off the BB subject,but I am liking Drew Carey so much on The Power of Ten. I was worried that I would not like him on The Price is Right,but now I think I will have to tune in and watch him.He's so compassionate and funny on TPOT and seems so happy for those who do well. He gives sane and smart advice,too. I have loved him since his days on The Drew Carey Show,he is a Cleveland boy,after all. Go Drew!

Anonymous said...

I want Jessica to go home this week, with Jameka trailing her on the double eviction. Jessica has used Eric only to further her game, and has been like a wooden robot (no, I mean a dummy) when he makes any kind of move towards her. A kiss.. or hug.. or touch is never so much as accepted with an arm around him, a hand on his arm... anything! No wonder "Mean Girls" is her favorite movie, she is a role model for it.Please let it really happen.....bye bye Jessica! I thought Janelle was fine tonight and handled it all well. Don't really believe she would be romantically interested in Dick, that had to be a gag. He is pretty funny of late, but still gross to think about getting it on with!

Anonymous said...

why would anyone vote for Jess to go? Our vote won't count this week, it is up to dick and dani, why would anyone want to hurt that girl that way? It is just mean. If she goes, she should at least go knowing that Eric voted for her, that would just be awful for her to think he turned on her. People criticize the house guests for being mean, that is really mean.

Anonymous said...

Of course Dani includes Evel in her "I have to do what's best for me and my dad..."

She wants to be sitting next to her dad in the final 2! I think, she thinks that it is a slam dunk against him. Maybe it is . . . but then again . . . quien sabe?

Anonymous said...

Orkmommy---really? i thought he had a choice...cause some of the tasks he has failed....hmmm
Thanks also to Nan in NW
No Dani is not Janelle but shes the closest thing to her in BB8.
Just want to give Debi in cA a shout out and say hugs and prayers to you.

joy n said...

I was surprised to see how cold Jessica was towards Eric. Not when she wanted to go to sleep, but later. She smiled at him but made no move to touch him at all when he kissed her. This is not a girl in love! I think it was totally gameplay on her part. Unfortunately, even though I don't like him, Eric has fallen. Granted, in a very inexperienced kind of way, but fallen, he has.

Sydney said...

JR said- I doubt that PMS has anything to do with the way Jessica acted. She didn't seem to treat Jameka any different. She only took out her anger on everyone else in the house.

And to that I say: Good point!

Anonymous said...

I'm pretty sure I heard or read somewhere that Eric has to make an effort with each and every task. He bailed early in the climbing into bed with Joe one, but he still attempted it. He has to make the attempt before he can fail or pass.

I hope the whole AP reveal is done well, maybe a quick montage of each assignment and attempt at the finale. I'm dying to see everyone's reaction. I hope the payoff is worth it.

PlaidChick said...

I don't see any meanness in America evicting Jessica. She IS NOT INTO HIM! She said in her DR session she would let Eric go to further herself in the game. He has been there to entertain her, and now she sulks in her bed and doesn't fight to stay, cramps or no cramps. She has floated for the entire game, and got Eric to play the game for her. She said so herself "It would of been better if you were on the block."

I'm almost wishing this double eviction was sending Jameka AND Jessica out at the same time.

RiseandShine said...

That was a fun show for once...it even looked like they were having fun sometimes.
It sounds like Daniele is in solid with her Dad right now. I wonder if they are thinking about themselves as the final two, or Dick going to sequester to be a vote for her? If I were them, I'd rather be final 2 together, but that would be a loonnnggg week.

Anonymous said...

People are forgetting what many of us said early on this season. Eric is "America's Player, but he is not my player". I really don't care what America does as far as the vote. I messed with him early on and then voted the smartest way I could vote to advance "my" favorites when it appeared that we really could influence the game. I would think that most of America did the same.

I voted my ten votes to Jessica after weighing what it would do to D&D. Jessica is gunning, and has been gunning for a D and/or D eviction all along (when Dick has been keeping her safe all along). I'm not sure that I made the right choice, and it is a BB Fastforward this Thursday, but I think they are good in the game and they will come out on top. I want a D/D/Z final 3 in the end. Then I'll say, "May the best one win!"

I would not mind seeing Zach winning at all at this point. Of course I want Dick to win, but if that doesn't happen... then let Dani or Zach win it. :)

Deanna said...

Jessica's comment at the end about wishing Dani would have used the POV to take her(Jess) off & put Eric up instead because she'd rather have him up on the block instead of her, sealed her fate with me. I've been wanting her gone, but that little comment clinched it and I hope it swayed many others out there. Eric is so smitten with her and he is just her game toy...

BUH-BYE JESSICA!!!!!!!!!

Was it just me or did Janelle seem more than a little bored by the whole thing? Maybe that;s why she flirted with Dick. And of course she knows all about Eric.
