'Big Brother 8' - 8/12 Show Live-Blogged from the East Coast

Jackie's TV Blog, BB8, Big Brother 8

The show will be starting about ten minutes (or so) late here in the NYC area due to golf. @@

Once it starts, I'll be updating this post throughout the show as it airs. In doing so, I'm bound to commit a few typos or misspellings, so you've been warned!

Please feel free to jump in with your thoughts in the comments area -- they're always the highlight of the show blog entry! Right now Andy Rooney is on, so it will be just a few minutes more.

Recap, recap, period end of story. They're evicting Kail all over again. Now reliving the HOH comp. Finally, to the show's opening music.

Now it's to Dick confronting folks. Everyone is looking uncomfortable. Amber won't forget what Eric did and will watch him. To the HOH comp and Jessica's win... the LNC Remainders are gleeful to say the least. Daniele thinks she and Evel got played and the LNC knew what they were doing all along. Dick promises more damage before he leaves. It's hard to take Bunny People seriously in stand-offs.

Jameka's finger-waving at Dick reminds me of what's-her-name on Survivor that season -- the one who got mad at Kimmie over the chickens.

It's a brouhaha, folks! A veritable brouhaha!

"You're a hypocrite!"
"Yo mama!" (I bet they'll never show her calling his mother a bitch like she did.)

Zach tells us the peasants are revolting. Jameka chants "I love you God" over and over again. Dick tried to talk to Jameka later, but she wanted no part of it. The LNC Remainders were love-festing and fist-pumping over their victory.

Daniele cries to Dick about how much she hates everything. Evel tells her it's all because Dustin's a liar. She cries some more. Dick is being very good with her. He tells us that the most important thing to him is his relationship with his daughter.

Jessica tells Amber that although she's close to Eric, she's in it for herself. She tells us she's never been a target of Dick's.

Time for the HOH room, booyah! Dick and Daniele went and both acted decently despite their upset. Unlike Jen, Jessica liked her photos.

Back to Daniele's sobfest and Dick trying to console her. He promises her that if they both go up on the block, he'll make sure he's the one who goes home. He will create problems so they want him out.

In the kitchen with Jameka, he goes at Jameka again and then Amber jumps in. He's making the comments about her drug recovery and other. Oh, he knows how to push those buttons! And Amber's face is a dead giveaway when he gets to her!

Whoa! They aired the "your mother's a bitch" comment from Jameka! I'm shocked! Dustin peeked into the kitchen and backed away.

More church music as Amber prays and cries about what Dick said and regreets her drug days.

(Please, God... just make her go away!)

Dick is so mean, help me please! (That's Amber, not me. I don't think Dick would be mean to me.)

Daniele and Jen are talking. Daniele promises Jen that from here on out, she has her back. Jen is actually a good listening post. JenBot even seems to be happy to finally be getting along with Daniele. She thinks they could be a good team.

"It's time to rock and roll" -- the food comp -- BB Benefit Cncert. BB Blues and BB Rockers, Zach wanted to be blue, but Dick grabbed the red bandanas out of his hand. 200 guitars and two stages in the backyard. Inside each guitar is a dollar sign or a slop sign. The first team to get to 20 $ wins food.

There's a one week slop pass inside one guitar. Smashing the guitars seems to get some of their frustrations out. Dick got the slop pass. Amber told us from the DR with tears in her eyes that God directed her to the guitars with the dollar signs.

The Blue Team won -- Zach, Jameka, Eric, and Amber will eat. Dick gave the slop pass to Jen and Daniele claimed it was her advice -- he wanted to give it to her, but she thought it better to give to Jen for strategic reasons.

Ah, Zach likes his bunny suit! We need something lighthearted. He's getting in touch with his inner bunny. Amber knocked it, but I think it's fun.

America's Player -- Eric is surprised and not pleased that America chose Dustin.

Dustin is calling Dick all kinds of white trash names after Dick left the backyard. He tells Jessica to put him up next to Dick because he's the honest one and Dick is the "scumbag." Eric's expression made me snicker. He's using it to further America's cause.

New America's Player -- To which HG should Eric give the silent treatment? Now, if you really want to mess him up, vote Jessica.

I'm evil.

Nominations Today -- Same old, same old descriptions and Jessica choosing keys. Dick tells us he'll make sure he goes and Daniele stays if they're both on the block.

They gather around the table. Dustin looks smug. Amber looks like she's been crying. Jessica said she made the decision following her heart:

Key order: Jameka, Jen, Eric, Amber, Zach, Dustin is last.

Jessica tells D&D that she's doing this to get back over Eric almost going, the person she's closest to in the house. Jessica tells us that she's really gunning for Daniele to leave, not Dick.

Dick vows to make them miserable until he leaves.

Sydney said...

Gosh, that uncomfortable to watch, not entertaining at all yell fest was about a .12 on a scale of 10 re: all the insults and provoking Dick has been doing non-stop since we left them Thursday night. I for one don't want him to stay and don't think the house will be at all boring with out him. But that's no secret.

I'd only miss his red hair flames. Those I do like.

...Oh, and to be fair, the yelling back Dick's succeeded in provoking. And Joy N., I agree, they are editing to make Eric look good as well.

LOL Plaidchick --

I just wish they showed how Dick worked Jameka up to such a frenzy that shecalled his mom a bitch, but we don't have the time, becasue I watched the whole thing and it took a while to get there. COnversely, We didn't see that repeated C word that dick called her, or any bleeps at all on his part.

ERic looks like a member of Joise and the Pusycats with thsat blue plastic wig on.

I like that there is conflict in the house, but it is really tense. I am glad I am not there. I would not appreciate being spoken to by Dick the way he speaks to Jameka or Amber. He is a little to aggressive.

PlaidChick said...

Jayne

Dick is not the only person who acts like that. The brillant editing of CBS shows all Dick, all screaming, all the time. Dustin screamed at Dick through the sliding glass window the night of the Jameka/Dick/Amber blow up. Eric and Dustin may not raise their voices, but they're just as bad.

Deanna said...

Joy... I watched it on "After Dark", Jameka followed Dick & Dani out into the back yard and planted herself between them while they were talking. They weren't rude, but got up & went into the house to fix dinner. Jameka came into the kitchen a couple minutes later & sat down & stared at Dick. IMO, she was egging him on & I wonder if she is trying to push him to the point of getting himself kicked off. Dick & Dani also spoke the next night of how she has been following them all day & trying to stop their convo. If she felt threatened or didn't like the way he talked to her, then she shouldn't make it a point to egg him on.

I'm definitely voting all ten of my votes for Jessica to get the silent treatment. I can't wait for Slimeball Eric to have to explain that away. Deanna, I wrote my last post before I read yours. I'm back with ya, girl!

Oh,I'm voting for Jessica too...anything to screw with Eric is what we all have to do. They should have known that we would all see or hear about this guy's true colors and take things into our own hands. But will we really get the person we voted for??? CBS seems to make sure things go there way no matter what! Loved the look on Eric's face when he saw Dustbin's name......LMAO!!!

I just want Amber to go away and stay out of the public eye for the rest of her life. I also don't like people who use their religion as their shield when it suits them and then take it down,lay it aside,use every nasty word they can think of on somebody and then pick it up,shake it off and go on pretending they are holier than anybody else in sight. Yeah you can always pray for forgiveness,but you're not supposed to sin with the thought that you'll ask for redemption and just go on and do the sinning,it's not supposed to work that way!Shame on you,Jameka and Amber!

Anonymous said...

OK first - I have to say this SHUT UP AMBER!!

Second, I submitted my votes for Eric to give the silent treatment to Jessica. I'm going to be interested to see if he can do it and if Dustin will plead his own case to be put up against Dick. If Eric can't talk to the HOH what will that do for his game or will he not even try forfeiting his "mission" money for the game? Does anyone know if he has to do each task?

Thanks for your blog Jackie - it is very much appreciated this season!

All three of them (Jameka, Amber, & Dick) need to grow up I'm embarrassed for them they are supposed to be adults! Eric please stop talking eech! Maybe Eric should give the cold shoulder to the entire house!! That's a thought!

I hope that DICK goes home ~ and not because I don't like him but because I'm tired of the yelling it's giving me a headache already. Then I hope that Jessica ditches the LNC and goes over to Jenn, Zack, & Dani and all will be right with the world.

Forgot to sign my 9:11pm post...oops.

Being a victim of incestual child molestation, I just want to slap him. I should have taken the time to think about this task. At least I didn't cry!!

He can mime to Jessica that he wants Dustin in the chair! That is why Jessica is a bad choice, if we want Dustin in the chair. Think it through people!

Sydney said...

Joy,

Dick provoked Jameka right after the HOH and she decided it was time to speak up, which I think they all should have been doing all along when he'd crossed their personal limits.

But after that, Jam created problems for herself by coming out to sit between D & D while talking (though I believe ED would do the same thing and worse if the sitch were reversed). Then she also sat down in the kitchen shortly after, so yes, she totally put herself in harm's way and it backfired. She should know he'd stoop to any level and it really takes something to hold up under his kind of fire. Having seen the real thing unfold on Sho Too, my complaint is that they weighted that to look like he didn't do as bad or worse.

Then, ED said himself several times tonight he wants to make them all hate him. I don't know if you watch the feeds or Sho Too... this week he's gone after everyone far more intensely whether they provoked it or not. I had to stop watching. That's just my take on it.

Anonymous said...

I am going to vote for Eric to give Jessica the silent treatment also...but, I'm betting if she does end up his target he will tell her beforehand that he is doing it for "strategy reasons" or something so that he won't look bad to her. @@

nana said...

What I don't understand about the commenter judging Jameka because she said she believe in God and try to apply her religious belief in playing the game. I do not see here as a hypocrite because when people is pushed they will let the flesh moment enter into their spirit. I don't see her being a hypocrite. She is just being a human being but she let evil Dick get to her. Everybody seems to cheer evil dick rudeness but he crosses the line a lot of the time as well. He is attacking people personal lives which has nothing to do with the game.

We all can judge sitting at home not really know how it affect you when you are a house with total strangers. Yes, it a choice. But to many times commenters have more to say negative than good. Yes, I know it is a game. I have heard this a million time but they still are human being and they have to react or release their feeling whatever way they feel they can keep their sanity.

Sheree said...

I think Eric can just fail the assignment...if he wanted to...he can make it look like he tried and then just fail it....I think it's stupid to try to make him silent treatment anyone...I think they need to scrap AP and let him play his own game....he'll probably be out quicker anyways....

Sydney said...

Sorry Joy- I posted before I got to read several comments. I see Deanna wrote pretty much what I did!

"Bunny Zach" was a refreshing break from all the fighting and name calling. Watching Zach shake his bunny bootie for Jessica was priceless.

Thank you Zach for showing viewers how much fun BB truly can be.

I loved Zack tonight! I agree it was a refreshing break from BB Summer Slam Smackdown! Gosh life can be stressful as it is withuogh turning on the TV three nights a week and witness mayhem.

Anonymous said...

Corrections on your live blogging Jackie:
1. Dick grabbed the red bandanas from Dustin. So the red team was Dick, Danielle, Dustin and Jen who lost so
2. Not on slop is Amber (cried), Zach, Jameka and Eric

I am voting for AP to give silent treatment to Dick, it will bother him, he likes confrontation too much

I feel bad for Zach, I think he got a bad rap early on. He does not seem like a bad guy.

Anonymous said...

Lucy....I really liked the "Bunny Zach" segment also. He really is a nice guy and he wants those people to like him in the worst way. I thought Amber's comments were so laughable,like she thinks every guy is swooning over her and she just couldn't give Zach a chance..he is SOOOO much better a person than you appear to be on any given day,crybaby!

I agree about Bunny Zach Lucy -- When he first put it on I thought it made him much more attractive. Whassup with that????

Sheree-- Totally agree!

I can't believe anyone would find Dick entertaining. He is the "type" that was the biggest bully you could have around as a kid! And on Showtime at night when he gets out in the yard with his smoking, constant spitting, chewing his fingernails, rotten language....not to forget burping and gassing.... I simply can't believe some good woman hasn't grabbed him up by now.Come on folks, he ia first class pig, and you are rooting him on? How many would like to have him over to the house? Yeah, I thought so!

Anonymous said...

Zach got a bad rap early on because of a few stray comments from the females and Eric ran with it and called him a child molester. I don't want to give Eric any advantage in this game, so my votes are going to Dick. I want Eric to work his butt off to get Dustin up on the block!

Anonymous said...

Sydney, I'm not sure you read Deanna's post correctly. I agree with what she said. It doesn't sound like you are. But maybe I.m the one misunderstanding. I've seen the long clips on YouTube and from What I saw, Amber and Jameka were definitely starting any provocation........And Nana NW, I call her a hypocrite (Jameka) because she can throw out the cuss words and name-calling very well herself and then has herself convinced that she only has to ask forgiveness and she is "alright" with GOD again. I was taught as a child that HE doesn't work that way. You can't throw out the same crap as everyone around you and then believe that because you are "with God" that makes it all right for you and he will forgive you upon being asked, then you can turn around and do it again. She and Amber both USE God as it suits them. I have no patience for holier-than-thou sinners like them. They are hypocrites.

Anonymous said...

Wow. Dick's ranting and rages tonight were unbelievable. I'm not sure too much editing was needed to get those clips. It's probably harder finding clips of him acting sane and normaal.

Loved Jameka's hand clapping and her classic yo momma comeback.

Anonymous said...

Somebody on TV Squad in Jackie's other post questioned why we are all so down on Eric when he was just doing "our" bidding. Doing the inane tasks that CBS set forth for him is not the reason I can't stomach him now. No,it's his filthy mouth and his saying the awful things about other players that have made me sick of him.And NO that doesn't mean I condone what ED does...they are both horrible and the things that come out of their mouths and minds are terrible. But nothing I or CBS directed him to do was the filth that he continues to say every single day. Please make him stop...and ED stop....and Amber....STOP!!!!!

sandiekay, I'd invite him to my house for dinner! And if he got teed off at me for some reason, I'd just give him smack right back. And it would NOT be behind his back.

I would have to say most of the commenters here, read Jackie's blog, watch the feeds (or read feeder's blow by blow), watch Sho2, & watch what CBS shows. However, I get the idea some people here only watch the CBS show and read this blog. IMO, you can't get the whole picture of the house and the HG's, unless you read and see it all, and even then we still don't see it all.

I'll say it again since this seems to be a constant fight between Dick vs. Eric's behavior: Dick is going to shown by CBS as the bad guy. Period. Eric, is AP aka PC (producer's choice) and they are never in a million years going to show the amount of Eric's flith on TV. And you can believe this, when the rest of the house guests find out Eric was playing for money AND the game, they'll never speak to him again.

They're all a bunch of liars. And they all scream, and all use bad language.

My head hurts again.

I wonder how long before Eric realizes that America is choosing tasks to try to sabotage his game to show their lack of support.
I noticed he sounded a little testy when he opened his instructions tonight.
He said something to the effect that if America would give him tasks that went along with his strategy it would be easier for him to get things accomplished.
At some point he has to realize that America is setting him up for failure and he is not popular with all of the viewers.
AS I posted some weeks back I am boycotting the AC . I was OK with it until the task was to vandalized another HG's property. I felt that was wrong.
I enjoy reading everyone's post, get a big kick out of Zoetawny's graphics and have a lot of admiration for Jackie's writing skills and keeping a level head during all the crap from BB8.

Anonymous said...

Yes,I think we all can agree on one thing.....Jackie's key will always be in the circle o' keys every single week! No stint on the block for her!

I can't believe that Eric is sitting with his butt and bare feet on the counter where people eat their food. Talk about ED's spitting,this isn't much better!And he just asked Jess if she looked at herself naked in the mirror when she just changed her clothes. He is a dirty,dirty minded
sick puppy,he is!

Anonymous said...

of course Dick ranted and raved at Jameka and Amber and they knew what they were getting before provoking him. They are the ones that really should feel ashamed because they act so rightous. Dick never claimed to be holier than thou. I would love to see him win by some miracle.

Sydney said...

I've been commenting for well over a year and always enjoyed writing freely here. It's only been in the last few weeks that I've been taken to task on exactly what I mean, or pressed to justify it if I speak up in any way criticising ED. I'm here for fun and I don't like it. I could not answer, stop commenting completely, or just come back when we're on to a new show. But I'd rather get a bit more room to breathe.

If I can't get behind Dick's actions, that has to be OK to say in a forum among those who ARE OK with him. It's my opinion and I've got a right to it and expect to be able to express it without getting jumped on. Not anywhere, but here, on Jackie's blog, our friendly little TV playground.

I've said I liked Dick for the 2nd and 3rd week, and then he became too much for my personal compass. I've commented positively about his vulnerablilty and true emotion around his daughter. Tonight I actually said I liked his red hair flames. Yet these are forgotten and I'm asked to justify adverse comments on him repeatedly when I've taken the leap to -- gulp --voice them. (For the record, I've seen Eric go down the tubes as well and have said so, so I'm not part of the Eric vs. Dick thing that raised people's ire last week.)

I've begun to erase comments, not comment at all, or only check in to say I like something someone said and that's not why I'm part of this community.
I just don't want to feel like I'm in for a battle if I express my thoughts on our TV. I'm not here for a frigging fight.

Sydney.......I know exactly where you are coming from with your 11:34 PM post. I also wrote down my thoughts about Dick earlier, only to have someone write they would have him over for dinner and go toe to toe with him if he started. OK, guess some people live for that kind of misery. But that's OK, it is certainly not how I would ever want to live. You should be able to blog without being preached to , I agree. This was my first time writing in about big brother 8, and I likely won't do it again.....I do thank Jackie though, she does a wonderful job here.

Sydney said...

I saw your comment Sandie and I envied your candor. I hope you stick around. There is a core group and we really do have loads of fun checking in with Jackie each other daily even when there are lulls in the shows. Do you watch Survivor, the Amazing Race, So You Think You Can Dance? There are side chats Jackei sets up if we watch shows and want to talk that aren't on her list -- like Bachelor Nip/Tuck, Greys Anatomy etc... this really has been an unusual little spot on the whole.

Sydney,

You are totally right in feeling that you should be able to express your views without having to defend them. You are also correct in saying that Jackie's Blog is one of the few places on the internet without all the anger and negativity. It's the only blog I can read because there is little to no hostility.

Please do not stop posting. I enjoy your point of view and feel that this negativity is not what Jackie would want.

Can you just imagine how Eric will perform the task of giving Jessica (hopefully) the silent treatment? CBS didn't state for how long. He will tell her some big sob story as to why he doesn't feel like talking to anyone and she will believe it. He will give others in the turd herd the silent treatment as well so Jessica won't think he's just giving her the silent treatment.

I don't think there is any justification in ED saying Amber's daughter would be better off if Amber committed suicide or calling a woman the C word. Besides, what he said to Dusting about "f'ing him til he bleeds" and that he'd "beg for more" is threatening and he should be kicked out. I wish they could vote Dani out and let ED go psycho, hit someone, then they'd get a two for one

Sydney and Sandie--although
I have not made any disparging remarks about you guys and your comments I am sorry your feelings have been hurt. I can relate as tonight remarks were made about something I didn't even say(it was the other Nana)I became very defensive. Please hang in with us and play Jameka---clap your hands and repeat after me....
"I love you God, I love you God,......"LOL Just trying to lighten the mood.

Steff--I want to be in an alliance with you...you had my back with Joyn 9:56.
Since the other Nana started posting a few days ago I have went back to Nana in the NW.

PlaidCarrie--I agree about the headaches. I just had to buy a new bottle of Tylenol at the store today.
I got the 100 tabs. I hope it lasts the rest of the season.
Dani needs to quite crying about having no friends--she has no one to blame but herself. No one forced her to align with a father whose behavior had driven her to not speak to him for two years.

Is it just me or does Jen seem to be playing "both sides against the middle"?
In reading Jokers she seems to be going to the HOH room and telling them everything Dick is saying and vice-versa.

As Jackie says...The show must go on....so on with it. Get it over and take us out of our misery!!!

We are all entitled to our own opinions and root for whomever we want to, but when someone does not agree does it mean that they have to turn into an "Evil Dick"?

The LNC is now paranoid about Danielle hiding M&Ms under her bed, she's cheating on slop, no wonder she's handling it better, lol. Jeesh!!

anon 12:28--those are the kind of mean-spirited remarks we are trying to avoid on this blogsite. I'm sure if it makes you feel better to say those things there are other blogsites that would welcome them. But I think I speak for the majority and tell you.." those comments are not welcome here". No evil dicks on this site!!! Now let's play nice.

Everyone should feel free to voice their opinions. I like Dick; although his behavior makes me cringe sometimes, I'm really touched by his efforts to mend his relationship with his daughter (and none of us here KNOW why she didn't speak to him for two years). I don't like Eric, Dustin, Jameka or Amber at all. I've watched Showtime, and they often try to antagonize Dick. (If they did that to me, I'd yell at them, too. Without hesitation.) I just find Dick's behavior less objectionable than I do that of Eric and the other three.

I know there are many people who don't agree with me; neither do I agree with them at all, but I'm glad to hear their ideas.

Hey, Nana in the NW! I'm with you - LET'S PLAY NICE!!!

I've been watching BB since the 2nd season, but have only been privy to this site for the past two. And it wasn't actually until half way thru last season that I started reading past where the spoilers started. It's amazing just how much my "insite" has improved since reading what's really going on. Now I can form a more "educated" opinion on the characters of the characters on this show.

One of the things I've liked so much about Jackie's Place is seeing how much my opinions match (or sometimes not!) those of others. In a couple of instances, I've even changed mine based on some very good arguments I've read here.

That being said, I have to add that even tho I may not agree with all of you all the time, I do agree with those sensible people out there who just want a forum to speak their piece without having someone go all "ED" on them! There's a reason I'm on Jackie's site and not one of the others out there!!

Jackie;

At the beginning of the season, you introduced us to all of the players for this year. Based on what you knew of them at that time, you told us what you thought of each of them, and which ones you thought might go far in the game.

Now I'm trying to remember your predictions and wondering just how close you were.

Can you re-post or is there a link that will take us back?

Thanks!
PDX Granny

Wow... Have alliances formed here or what? One side not liking what the other says and vice versa?? When I read a comment that I don't agree with, I give my opinion... But, I also comment on the ones I agree with. I think some people just cannot handle the fact that others do not agree with their thoughts. I actually enjoy reading the diverse comments and like giving people who don't agree with my thoughts, a few things to ponder, because I ponder and think over theirs. It is just a fun place to voice your thoughts & read others as well as get great updates from Jackie....

I voted for AP to diss Jessica...it willtotally unerve her...she will think she is being conned and I love that....she has always set out to break up the three couples...good strategy..but I dont liek her whiney ways.... Im thinking she thinks she is Elle aka ReeseWitherspoon
I think Eric is Americas Weasel

i voted for Amber because I never get tired of watching her cry and rant and rave at the same time.

Nana in the NW...I'm honored, will keep my word without bringing God into it. She's busy...lol

I agree we should all play nice, thats my sign off in game chats! There is enough stress in all our lives, this should be a happy diversion.

Glad I don't have the feeds, I'd be taking a flight to LA, stalking Zach in that bunny suit!

You are also correct in saying that Jackie's Blog is one of the few places on the internet without all the anger and negativity.

Folks -- PLEASE stop posting about each other. It's fine that you like or don't like some of the houseguests, but you can get your point across without offending others!

I think a big part of the problem here is that they really haven't given us much to like at all about this season.

Deanna said...

Somebody mentioned how good Zack looked in his bunny suit and I have to agree... I was just thinking the same thing a couple days ago when he was walking around with the front part open and his chest hanging out. GRRRRR!!!! Now I'm looking at him totally different... :)

dla said...

I just watched the Sunday night episode online, as I was not paying much attention to the TV while it was on... Which has been somewhat standard operating procedure since about week 2, but I digress. :)

Several things jumped out at me while I objectively watched the action, and it doesn't matter wich side of this BB8 fence you prefer:

* Dick was absolutely toying with them on tonight's episode. He rarely even raised his voice, and we know he is more than capable of that from previous weeks! He simply hit them where it would hurt, and waited for them to melt down. They obliged.

* The HG's proved that they all have the capability to become nasty, vicious and spew hatred.

* Jameka and Amber deliberately followed ED into the kitchen to start something. There was absolutely no other reason for them to be there, as the rest of the Nerd Herd appeared to be outside.

* There are going to be a lot of people from the Nerd Herd who should feel like fools after they find out about Eric, the lies, and everything that goes with it.

* Jameka makes me absolutely crazy.

* Amber makes me absolutely crazy, and that "prayer" up in HOH was so set up and staged it was ridiculous. She said "excuse me" to God during her prayer?!? @@

* Dustin has become a self righteous, ridiculous excuse of a player. What a big chicken!! Take his gray v neck t shirts and send him packing to go sell some shoes.

* Dani never should have been let in the house. She is too young, and the age requirements are in place for a reason.

I could go on and on, but it amazes me each year how the immediate villains can become almost invisible as the true personalities begin to show as time goes by. Zack or Jensa could take this whole thing, and who woulda thunk that from the first several weeks?

What a season! Feh.

SYD,you know we don't want you to leave and not visit here!! You know there are better times coming on down the road...lol. You know we would miss you like crazy when TAR or Survivor starts up again!
I know it gets hard to take sometimes,another reason I'd never make it in that house,my skin is too thin!! And,a lot of it has to do because Miss Jackie has just gotten TOO popular! Her rep is growing far and wide and the more people her blog attracts,the more people who don't get the program start showing up.Can't we all just get along?????? Promise you will hang around,Sydney!!!

I was watching the live feeds last night and Amber was flirting w/Zach!! Now she has called him all kinds of names,thinks he's weird and doesn't like him looking at her(???WTF??). So here she is,batting her big ole cow eyes at him,smiling her "sexy??" smirk at him and asking him for advice how to trim and tone her "cocktail waitress" arms,cause don't ya know,she's strong from hoisting those beers and wine coolers. She is such a joke and I think she'd flirt w/Attila the Hun if she thought he'd say her swollen,red eyes were purtty!! LMAO So,Zach,in his most Zach-ian,tells her she should ask Dustbin,cause he's the "built" one. Whooosh...right over Zach's head! Good boy!

Heartfelt thanks to those who took a moment to write encouragement in reply to my message last night. Just attempting to get back the room to feel comfortable contributing here.

Lesa and others, regarding number of times allowed to vote, I've seen people saying 10. However, if you listen at the end of the shows and read the fine print on the screen, the maximum of 10 is only for text voting, not online voting.

I think that its pretty irresponible of the BB producers to not have Amber pray for the miners in Utah. She should be flown out there and have God lead her to where they are, instead of using her powers to talk to God on just getting through the week without eating slop.

Nana NW: When Steff pointed out my error, I immediately posted an apology to you. I saw NANA at the top and wrongly assumed it was you. I won't make that error again, I promise you............Sandiekay: In an earlier post you had almost made it a challenge that you didn't think anyone would invite ED over. I simply took up the challenge. I should have added that the nerd herd (until recently) never stuck up for themselves during his rants. I meant that I would have given him guff right back. I should be able to express that opinion..............Sydney: In one post, you said you agreed with something Deanna said. I said you might have read it wrong because it seemed like your comments didn't agree with hers. I also stated that maybe I misunderstood what you were saying. I am sorry you took offense to this as I truly meant none. I certainly wasn't challenging your views. I do respect your views and always see your posts as well-written. I hope you didn't mean you would stop posting because of me. I have to admit I'm surprised by the reactions of Yourself, Nana NW and Sandiekay, but sincerely apologize if I offended anyone.

Sheree said...

I think Dick did't say anything mean to Jessica because she was truthful about why she was putting them up....she could have lied but she told them to their faces that it was about her getting back at them because of Eric...I think that Dick respects that and he's okay with it.

I haven't been the biggest Dick fan but I will give credit where credit is due...I thought he came off looking decent last night. I felt he was arguing with people to get to them to get them to vote him off over Danielle.

I still think he needs to go...because his yelling is giving me a headache....but then again they are all giving me migraines except for Jessica & Zack.

Go Zack! He's my new favorite bunny man!!!

Sydney said...

Thanks so much Joy! :-)

PDX Granny -- I've too have often had my view expanded or changed by the varied comments I've read here. That's one of the best parts! The experience of watching a show gets much richer for me by hearing others point of view.

Deanna--In reading your comment that some people just can not handle that others don't agree with their thoughts, I don't know if that was for me or not but here's what it made me think: I've enjoyed opposing opinions to my own and exchanged many rounds of comments and questions without a hitch. But those were offered with a totally different feel and nature. It's been the way they've been delivered that I finally addressed last night. It's been a little too aggressive and provocative and selective for my tastes and it's coming from only a few posters.

I haven't seen Jackie have to make so many mentions to folks to reel it in as she has had to lately as a whole to keep the vibe she created here.

I personally show up HERE for the fun of debate, not the heat of it. If I were into the latter, I'd spend time at forums on world issues -- something important enough to me to get all hot and bothered over. I didn't say that I was hurt or offended but that I'd like a little more room to comment with out being jumped on. That may work or it may not but I put it out there in hopes that it would.

Anonymous said...

Sydney...I'm with you girl. I haven't been posting much because of the negativity of a few commenters towards other commenters. Like you said, there is a core group who post here and we really do have loads of fun checking in with Jackie and each other.

We should be able to express our views without having to defend them. Jackie's Blog is one of the few places I subscribe to because previous to this year's BB8, there was no hostility, just good clean fun.

Let's get back to having fun!!!!

Is there anyone out there that could tell me how to make paragraphs on a computer? I knew how to on a manual and electric typewriter, (I'm soooo dating myself) but for the life of me, I just can't manage it on this computer. Everyones posts look so much neater with them. Especially with the lists. Last time I tried to figure it out, somehow I lost my delete button for a month, and then, I don't know how, but it came back mysteriously on its own. Modern technology. Sheesh!

Anonymous said...

LOL Joyn re your delete button...

Just press "Enter" when you want a new paragraph

Sydney said...

Hey Joy -

I'm not sure if this is helpful... but when I want to start a new paragraph in the text I've been writing, I put the cursor after the period and hit the return bar one or two times, just like you would if you were writing in a word document... just like this:

That gives the space to start a new paragraph. Does that work?

I think Dani is a real strong player and they would be smart to get her out over Dick because he has rubbed everyone the wrong way it doesn't really matter if he stays, it just makes it more interesting to watch.

Sheree said...

I agree anon 12:45, however when you have a fly buzzing your head constantly all you want to do is swat it.

Deanna said...

Sydney... My comment wasn't directed at anyone in particular. I've just noticed that a lot of people have become frustrated & are thinking of leaving and I hope it doesn't happen. I just hope I have not offended anyone. I like to give my thoughts on others comments, but never is it an attack. I've had a few attacks here as well, but usually it is from the posters that hide behind "anon".

Anonymous said...

Meb: I'll try it your way in a second here. Hope it works.

Yeah! Finally! I've had this computer since January, 2006 and couldn't figure that out. The manual is so long and a bit confusing so I never bothered. Now I feel like an idiot. It was so simple. Thank you very much!

Sydney: Thanks for the tip but I don't have a return key. That's why I was so confused. I know typewriters have one and I wondering why stupid DELL didn't put one on this keyboard. I guess they aren't the dummy, after all! I appreciate your offer to help, though!

I know how to make paragraphs! I should have asked a long time ago. Thank you both.

Anonymous said...

I'm game, let's vote Jessica. LOL. It would be really funny to see him give Dustin or her the silent treatment. Even with Amber. That would drive Amber bonkers.

dla said...

Joy N,

Your computer question was the highlight of my day!! Thank you for that, and I am glad you have figured it out! ;)

I spent hours the other night trying to figure something out on my laptop... I got it, but it was frustrating!

Sometimes it is the small stuff that can make us smile!
