'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds - Through the Day Friday 8/03

<--- Eric tries to work things out with Jessica. I don't envy him his position. If anything, he should be crying, not Amber.

The Nominations Ceremony is looming ahead, but there was a lot going on in the house today without it.

Here's what happened in the Big Brother House of Vamps and Vampire Bats:

• Daniele and Dick came up with a plan to backdoor Eric. They told Jessica.
• At first Jessica tried to tell Eric without mentioning his name, then she spilled the entire can of beans to him.
• Eric told Jessica that he'd like to sit Jen down with most of the LNC (sans Dick and Daniele), let everyone know the backdoor plan and take Jen in with them as she really wants to be a part of the group. (A sidenote from me -- have you noticed that Jen ALWAYS votes the house vote? I find it very weird that she's supposedly so separate, yet always goes with the majority vote.)
• Eric thinks that she would be good for their numbers, she's good in comps, and she's certainly someone anyone could beat in the final two.
• Evel kept at Jessica to not trust Eric.
• In a long ranting about everyone talk Evel Dick had with Jessica, he made it look like Eric's his next target because he feels that Eric convinced them to save Kail the first time and the stray votes.
• Evel likened Eric to the TV character "Columbo." That was Peter Falk and a bumbling but very wise detective for young'uns reading this.
• There was no food comp today. I think that's because they never know how long an endurance comp may run and it's easier to plan to skip it rather than have it on standby.
• Eric and Dick had a big blow-up. Dick said Nick told him things (about Eric, I presume) before he left. Dick said Nick denied being the second vote for Kail the week before. Eric became impressively outraged at the thought he was being accused.
• Eric ranted an anti-Nick riot act at Dick in an effort to make him believe Nick was the leak and the vote.
• Others in the group -- Jameka and Dustin -- came to Eric's side to help.
• Even Daniele tried to calm Dick.
• Eric wouldn't back down from Dick even when Dick threw the hammock. Eric said he remained true to his alliance. (Little does his alliance there know that America is his first alliance.)
• Jameka pointed out that it could be different people casting the odd vote each week for personal reasons, not a conspiracy.
• Zach is the one who finally stopped all the bickering. He announced he has ringworm, so they freaked out about that instead of the house business.
• Most say he got it because he doesn't wash his hands.
• Dustin wants the final five to be himself, Eric, Jameka, Jessica, and Amber.
• That, of course, means that Dick and Daniele are on the outs of the main group.
• Dustin is also upset that Daniele didn't talk to any of the LNC about nominations. (I personally think that's fair as no one included her or listened to her about Nick last week. I don't blame her on that one at all.)
• It seems the Jen and Kail on the block, backdoor Eric if POV saves one, plan is still on by Dick and Daniele.
• Jen went to Daniele and told her she wants to be nominated because she's going for a record.
• They actually made a little personal headway discussing where they both went wrong with dealing with each other.
• Jen admitted to throwing the POV last week so Jameka would win.
• Jen asked Daniele if she was the other vote to save Nick. Daniele told her no.
• Jen told Daniele that the group that she, Kail, and Zach are not a part of is already turning into smaller groups and will eventually turn on each other. (See! I've said all along Jen is definitely not a dummy when it comes to the game!)
• Jen told her that she knows she's the target, but has some things to tell her after the nominations.
• Jen left and Dick went at her again. Sigh.
• Dick thinks Kail was in on setting up Nick to leave. Um... DICK was in on it, sheesh!
• Dick thinks Eric is a bigger threat than Zach, Kail, or Jen.
• He told Amber not to trust the LNC. Amber, forever the wimp, agreed.
• Meanwhile, Eric went to Jen and Kail and told them he thinks they'll get nominated and the plan is to backdoor him.
• Dustin told Dick he lacks tact. You don't say!
• Amber told Jameka that Dustin was the leak -- he's the one who told Kail she was safe.
• Eric and Jessica have re-teamed up, it seems. They want to work to get Daniele and Dick out of the house.

As I post this, the feeds have been blocked for some time. It should be the nominations ceremony. When I know, you'll know! :-)
