'Big Brother 8' - Aug. 21 Show Live-Blogged from the East Coast

Jackie's TV Blog, BB8, Big Brother 8

Welcome! Grab a bowl of slop and a glass of iced tea and make yourself at home! The show is about to begin here on the East Coast.

This entry will constantly be updated with the show happenings as they air here in the NYC area. Please forgive any typos or misspellings and share your thoughts in the comments area. Refresh the page to get the latest.

We be in recap mode now. In the background I have America's Got Talent finale on. I hope to catch the eliminations there and will let you know about them and the winner, too. Unless I miss it, of course. I'm recording it.

Daniele has ticked off both Amber and Jameka. Once again, Amber thinks she's a "good person."

On AGT -- that young girl just got eliminated. Not Butterscotch, the country and western one.

Jen is talking to Jessica. She's pumping for information, but Jessica is playing dumb. Eric and Jessica are messing around. Not in a really adult manner, mind you. Zach likes to torment Eric when he's with her.

Amber tells Jameka she "can't with" jeesica because she's sneaky. Amber thinks she's such a big threat in the game and a target. "I had a vision."

Amber cries. She feels it, she sees it. Both Jameka and her will be in the final two! Hallelujah! (Which I probably spelled wrong.) No more crying she vows through her tears!

Eric is finding his Woobie now. He's cracking up over it. He's thrilled that "we" chose Jessica. Very sweet.

On AGT, Butterscotch was just eliminated.

Daniele and Zach are talking, he's sick of Eric and her dad. Daniele complains that Jen complains and Amber and Jameka mope around. What does Daniele think she does? They turn to Jen, Zach calls her a loose cannon. BTW - the talk turns to Jen, she isn't there. Zach tells us he's a force to be reckoned with.

Veto player pick -- special competition, two finalists will be rewarded with a top-secret trip out of the house. Daniele picks Houseguest's Choice -- Dick. Amber bitterly picks Jessica. Jameka picks Zach. Jen says it double sucks that she didn't get to play. Eric hosts.

Oh, people want that trip!

Time for the comp -- motorcycles in place they each get to sit on. A huge speedometer. The questions are based on the CBS.com polls.

Kail great politician? 19% -- Dick gets eliminated with 78%.
Life in the BB house easy? 14% -- Zach eliminated with his 62%.
Dustin a better boyfriend than Joe? 47% -- Jessica is eliminated.
Rather a beer with Nick than Mike? 70% -- Jameka out with 87%.
Amber is crying in the comp because Jameka got eliminated. Once again she puts everyone ahead of herself -- Amber thinks of herself.
Zach sexiest bunny of all? 35% -- Daniele wins POV with her 46%

Jen is happy because she prefers noms stay the same. Right. Amber and Jameka cry and hug. Amber is literally shaking.

And Amber cried. Did I mention that?

Make her STOP.

Daniele is telling Dick that she wants to make a deal with Amber for next week. Of course, we know that both Daniele and Dick wanted to backdoor Jen anyway, so this gives them an edge.

Now Amber is saying her vision was so real and can't believe it didn't come true. Amber suggests she make a deal with Daniele and bounces the idea off of Jameka.

Daniele and Amber go tothe HOH to avoid the herd. Amber first asks, then Daniele tells her she'd take her off for her next HOH. They've edited in a dinging noise after each promise Amber made after Jameka warned her not to promise too much. Heh. Of course, Daniele took it.

Eric and Dick talk, proud of their alliance and how it paid off. Dick still wants them as final four -- Dick, Daniele, Eric, Jessica. Eric would rather see Zach up than Jen, but is willing to compromise.

The Veto Meeting -- Jameka was pleasant, will respect her decision. Amber cries, tries not to cry. Daniele gives a speech about strong competitiors in the game. On a strategic level, saves Amber. Daniele nominates Jen... one of the biggest competitors in the house and (paraphrasing) some of us are here to win the money.

Daniele vows to us Jen will go home. Jameka is worried. Jen is confident she'll be here next week.

Daniele and Amber find out they're going to board a jet to NYC -- they're going to be contestants on The Power of Ten.

Uh-oh. I wondered why we had such teary, er... rainy weather today -- Amber's HERE.

Ack.

YES! TERRY FATOR WON AMERICA'S GOT TALENT! HE'S MY FAVORITE! HE'S AMAZING!

Now that I got that out of my system ... America's Player. Who does Eric work to evict?

Jackie- Isn't the America's Got Talen filmed in California? I know the finale is on tonight. Maybe that is where Daniele and Amber went. Just a guess.

And.....Amber had a vision and almost cried.

Doubt it wrong network AGT is on NBC

It is, but it's a different network. They also left last night. Maybe.

Ohh those two make my head hurt...

I figured the young girl would be leaving on AGT

Does Amber even have eyebrows? Hers look painted on! I think that's what's been bothering me about her look for weeks!

Look...Eric has a butt tumor!

PlaidChick said...

OMG he looks like my 3 legged cat

Well not really, she lost her left hind leg and is grey... and she's a cat

PlaidChick said...

Does Jen look like Morticia?? Did she dye her hair?

Anonymous said...

The saddest part about Amber is that she has some of the most beautiful hair I've ever seen and it's wasted on her!!

(God, I'm such a catty b!tch)

Jessica hugged the Woobie not knowing Eric just had it stuffed down his pants. YUCK!

Do Jameka and Amber realize that the Big Brother 8 house is *not* the Old Testament book of Jeremiah?

I'm really beginning to wonder.

She doesn't even cry with tears anymore. Just that awful face. YUCK!!

That was totally FAKE crying!!

OMG...my 4 year old just saw Amber crying and now she's walking around going "Waaaa...Waaaaa" and laughing!! It's pretty bad when a 4 year old makes fun of you!

OH---I'm thankful to GOD for making AMBER the funniest thing on television all summer.

I'm thankful to God for letting me realize that there are people out there more f'ed up than I am!

PlaidChick said...

Orkmommy-- I have thought for some time she makes herself cry and whine. She clinches her face muscles especially in the DR sessions.

I don't think she realizes she is making a fool of herself

Now that Jen will be going home, that's all we'll hear about is her vision...

Anonymous said...

Here's a thought. Wait until Amber gets out of the BB8 house and finds out how America really feels about her. Imagine all the tears. Buy some stock in Kleenex. There is my tip for the day. :)

When she finds out what Amber just did she's never gonna want to be friends with another white girl again!! Jameka...we're NOT ALL like that!!

It's been such a hard week... Dustin is gone, I'm on slop, and I'm on the block....WAH, WAH, WAH

Are you freaking kidding me???

POWER of 10

I had a vision!!!

Anonymous said...

Is Amber wearing Daniele's shirt? How did she fit her fat in there?

Tessa said...

A trip to the Power of Ten. That should be a riot. I say Dani will beat Amber if they are playing each other.

Sydney said...

Seriously
From Day One
In this game
To be Honest with you
You are a threat
In this house
Than being said
Period, end of story
Honestly.

I see they've all gotten new clothes. Do ya think we could get them some new vocabulary too?

Anonymous said...

How are they going to prevent the audience at Power of 10 from yelling things at them? I wonder if they'll film without an audience?

They'll probably have to do the best of 5 against each other and my vision is that Daniele will win and Amber will cry that she can't play for the 10 million!

Anonymous said...

You might as well just shoot me now if Amber wins on the Power of 10.

Hmmm...I see a CBS show that needs some ratings.

Anonymous said...

Is it still a pun to say "I voted jen times to evict Jen"? Take that to the jenth degree and get her out.

Look out Jackie, NYC is being invaded by Wahmber!!
I can't imagine a NY audience NOT letting D an Wah know how BB fans feel.

Tessa said...

Orkmommy you're right. They couldn't possibly play the game with an audience or with someone to offer advice like it has been played.

Anonymous said...

If one of them win, say the million dollars on The Power of 10, you think they will go back in the house? I would not, I'd say thanks much and see ya! Spend one more minute in that house for maybe a half million or take a whole million in less than 20 min. hell ya! Best BB trip ever.

Watching Jen's meltdown on YouTube from the link Jackie provided. I've only gotten through part 1 but I can tell she's calculating her moves!

Anonymous said...

Plaidchick, you had me really scratching my head! I had read your 9:27 comment about Power of 10, and didn't understand it. Then when I saw what Amber & Dani won, my mouth probably looked like Dustins did when he got eliminated! lol I wondered how you had known the answer already! I went back to check your comment, then to Jackies posts to see if she'd mentioned it, and I couldn't find it anywhere. Took me a minute to realize that you were saying the POV game was a knockoff of P of 10. Or are you really a relative of Ambers and you actually can see the future? lol

Anonymous said...

you gotta love amber : "dustin was the best boyfriend". she's killing me. those pretend tears! that face! that look into the camera (i wonder if they tell her to do this). the fact that she blamed God because she didn't win. are they giving her drugs? is she for real?

as for people saying things to cryamber and danielle, i thought every season two of them leave the house on some award challenge - what has stopped other people from approaching the contestants (or am i totally confusing this with another show???)

CBS website says :weeper and preacher on the block (before dani took weepy off). funny

Jackie S. said...

suich - the ventriloquist, yes. He's also an impressionist. He could do a stint on Letterman for Ventriloquist and Impressionist week!

On a side note - I can't avoid BB references. I left the start of NCIS on -- they explained beer pong.

Anonymous said...

Haha jackie im watching NCIS too and definitely made the connection...

Anonymous said...

Tessa, I thought of a way they could still have a person give them advice. Nick can be there for both of them. It wouldn't matter who wins the best of five. Which ever one plays, Nick could be their back up.

Anonymous said...

Jackie, I didn't watch him on the show (Butterscotch was my 1st choice) but I just saw Fater on YouTube....
He's EXCELLENT! I've never seen anyone like him before!

Anonymous said...

Just reading Jokers and it looks like Jen didn't get a penalty nomination, just an automatic vote against her. Dick told Jameka that he doesn't agree with the penalty they gave her but he does agree that they were right in taking away her penalty nom.

Can anyone with the feeds confirm?

Anonymous said...

Amber's got too many favorite numbers to succeed at Power of 10. SEVEN! SEVEN! And she's gonna be making out with her necklace the whole time.
I better start drinking now.

Time for Jen to go home, just my vote.

Anonymous said...

It's pretty sad that Amber has to say that a gay man is the best boyfriend she's ever had!! WTF???

And I think,since Daniele took Wahmber off the block and we have to listen to her for weeks to come now,she(Dani)should have Wahmber superglued to her side and have to be with her 24/7 until she's(A) evicted or Dani is committed,whichever comes first!!

Who is everybody voting for AP???? I'm torn!

Anonymous said...

Is anyone else having trouble voting?

Anonymous said...

Power of 10 occured to me during that veto challenge - not that that would be the trip, I just thought is was basically the same game.

I guess I don't need to bother watching my recording of America's Got Talent, since I've read who won in the BB blog section. Maybe a little waring when the big finale of another show is about to be mentioned in the BB notes!

Anonymous said...

I'm toen too. Last reports sound like they are leaning towards Jen. Maybe the penalty nom isn't working out like they thought, or Dani nixed it. I'm heading off to vote now. I'm going to vote Jen.

Anonymous said...

Can anyone tell me why, after a few were eliminated from POV comp because their %'s were too high that you couldn't figure out to put a lower % in as your answer so the other people would be higher than you and thus they would be eliminated. Especially for the last question. I kept screaming at the TV to put in a low %. Actually not surprised that neither of them did. If they were both lower than the actual % then of course the one closest would have won, but I would have taken the gamble.

If you've watched Power of 10, you've seen it's a % game also. Amber is really going to embarrass herself.

Did it show where they were able to tell the other hg where they were going? Has anyone mentioned it?

Anonymous said...

OK so I am totally confused. Is this the trip they won to see the taping of Power of 10/be on the Power of 10/ or this a joke you guys have cooked up because of something on the show tonight??

How long do you think Dani will be quiet about Amber agreeing to vote out Jam??
I say until next week when they put Amber on the block and want to totally humiliate her by having her unanimously voted out!!
Sounds like a plan Dick would come up with--because he is ruthless.

Anonymous said...

Nana, they told at the end of Big Brother tonight that the trip they won was to New York and that they would be on power of 10, and would have the chance to win money
Nikki

Anonymous said...

Nana in NW... that money they could win is $10,000,000. The very first episode a 17 year old boy won $1,000,000. He didn't go on for the big one. Duh!

Anonymous said...

Are anyone's votes getting through? I keep trying but nothing happens. I hit vote for America's Player, then it goes to Eric's big pic. I hit AP and nothing happens. I just want to know if this is the producer's doing or just my computer. HELP!

Jackie S. said...

Anon @ 10:46 - I gave plenty of warning - mentioning that I was going to do it right in the beginning of the post.

Sydney said...

I voted all 10 votes for Jameka to go. I would like Jen to stay because she is a more interesting player. Anyone with me at all on that?

Joy-- iut was actually the fastest easiest vote I've done so far this season... are you getting through OK now?

Anonymous said...

No, and I'm running out of time. I never had a problem before and Ican't figure out what's going wrong. Well, just for the record, I WAS going to vote for Jameka to go for the same reason. I tried! Thanks for responding Sydney.

Anonymous said...

Jackie,

Your West Coast fans would be really really grateful if you could blog BB and other shows SEPARATELY! I don't mind knowing ahead of time what happens on BB because I already know most of it from the live feeds...but I want to read your blog AND watch my tape of AGT! Just a suggestion that your blog fans would really appreciate...and YES, I know you gave a warning...my suggestion is if it's at all possible to blog separately, we would really appreciate it.

Thanks so much! :)

Just have to say I voted to get Jen out...I wanted Amber out..but dang it she has the lives of a cat doesnt she?
I voted ten times and now I will watch the show in 15 minutes!! Is this living or what?????

Anonymous said...

I just watched 6 parts of the Jen/Dick saga from last night (at 9:59 each, that's an hour!!). I didn't get to any of the good stuff yet, but I did notice something I've never noticed before...

Dick walks like a woman! His shoulders are back and he has a swishy butt. Watch him! I'm sure you'll see it too!! He could totally do drag!

Anonymous said...

I can't believe that the guys still want to evict Jam...
I think that Julie and CBS should call her out tomorrow on the live show and have her leave...No sequester and no money......


JACKIE---------
What would happen if Jen left sequester like she said she would do if sent there now...There could be a three/three vote.....Could America really choose along with and actual Eric vote???

Anonymous said...

SOrry I didn't specify I meant that they should call out JEN

Anonymous said...

FINALLY I got my votes in! That really was cutting it close. Now I can go to bed. Night all!

Jackie S. said...

Anon @ 11:51 - I have no idea. In a way, I can understand her not wanting to be at the sequester house for so long. But, she did sign a contract. She could be sued if she doesn't follow through.

If she leaves this week, I think she'll probably stay in sequester despite her threats.

Anonymous said...

Let's vote for Eric to try to save Jen just to mess with Dani and Dick's total control of the house...it's too boring for words with that nasty pair in charge. They deserve each other. No wonder the mother/wife did a bolt...maybe she had a vision.

Brent McKee said...

Amber and this business of Dustin being "the best boyfriend" first started me thinking of her as (to use a rather crude expression but it's the only one that really fits) a "fag hag."

But it also hit me that in her devotion to Dustin, Amber reminds me of Ivette from Season 6 and her utter devotion to "Cappy." Based on the way she whined screamed and moaned about him you'd have thought that he was her secret partner/lover instead of someone she'd met a few days before. When I checked Wikipedia just now to verify the name I discovered another way in which she reminded me of Amber - she too used some frankly disgusting words about Kaysar - the least of which was "fake Muslim" and the worst of which seems to have been "sand n----r" - which weren't broadcast by order of the producers.

Deanna said...

I really think BB/CBS should have shown last nights "drama" so that viewers that only watch the CBS version of the show, would get the whole picture before deciding who they think Eric should vote for. IMO, it is just another way for CBS to control the show and hope that Jen(the planted one) sticks around. It will be too anticlimatic for Thursdays show and it doesn't fairly portray the true happenings in the wonderful world of crazy-land...

Also did anyone notice that Amber questioned why God didn't let her win like she prayed (not exact words)... I'm guessing that she thinks that she is the only one that God listens to and that the other HG's & world doesn't pray. I'm sorry but when I pray it is not for selfish things like these two do. I pray for my family, friends, soldiers & I pray for the strength to make me a better mother and wife for my family. To pray for God to let me receive material things is just not how I work. That is why Jameka & Amber bug me to no end...Plus the tears drive me mad & cause my husband and I to look away or fast forward the show... UGG!

**************************
Though previously Eric had always received either Jen's name or Kail to be evicted, I wouldn't have expected a change, perhaps it time for a change anyway, I can see Amber going against her deal with Dani; as previously posted Amber will feel like she eliminated one of the " big guns " It's a toss up for Eric, though Eric is a bit cocky and should not speak so harshly being that he's AP.

Anonymous said...

Is there anyone else that cringes every time Amber talks about God and his/her visions, and then says the "f-word" in the same sentence. That's so sacreligous it's just scary!

It's obvious to me that she's either playing the "God card" to impress Jameka, but can't keep her real self under control. Or that she is such a follower/joiner that she has jumped on Jameka's God bandwagon, looking for some sort of help.

And I'm also disappointed in Jameka for not saying something to Amber about using the two words in the same sentence. She has no problems sharing her Christian beliefs on the show, so why not speak up.

teenage girl reactions.

The kids and friends gathered to watch Eric give the woobie to Jessica (It was like whn they all got together to watch High School Musical 2)and have become absolutely irate with Zach getting between Eric and Jessica. I gaurantee you whenever Zach is on the block, the vote for him to go will be in the nineties! It has made Jessica and Eric their favorite players (they used to mostly like Jen and D&D)
