'Big Brother 8' - Video Update

I caught the reactions of Dick, Bunny Zach and Daniele as Amber screamed at Eric. Do you think she may have blown the "let's keep Eric going home a secret" bit?

Really nasty language warning in effect!

Amber is basically attempting to back peddle perhaps feeling some what guilty in regards to having sworn on her daughters life. I have always found this tactic ( I swear on my so and so's life )isn't a truthful playing game mode regardless,HMMMmmm I'm leery if in indeed it wasn't stated loudly primarily for Dicks benefit, or perhaps Dustin has indicated to Amber he'll have to toss her in river without life jacket, I'm at a HMMMMM it was conveniently placed. IMO.I'd write first ( like TNZ blog LoL perhaps 2nd.. Thanks Jackie.

tom,

"WHAT?"
I hope I'm not just being dense, but...have no inkling if what you just said....

Please explain to us less fortunates (see, I don't have Kail's 30 IQ)

Hellooooooo...where's the shrink? Are these HG's more nuts than usual or is it me? Oh, ok, it is me? LOL.

Anyway, I have to say that I think this whole thing (AP) was unfair to Eric. He's not really my favorite or anything but it really has put him in an untenable position. He's not allowed to say what was really going on so all he can do is his best to justify his actions that were at the voter's behest (that would be us, oooops).

Is it really so much to ask that Kail finally go home? Apparently it is. I'm gonna be one unhappy camper when she slips through to the end. :(

Thanks for everything, Jackie...without you, the commenters, your new gig at TV Squad and now...even video clips (!) this season would be pretty tough to handle.

Best,
Sasha

SMH... I appreciate tom's comments but I have to say I also have some difficulty understanding them at times.

tom...we like to hear from you, could you clarify a bit, please?

Thanks!

Ummmmmm...just listened to the rant. I want to call ghetto Amber insane but I don't want to insult insane people.

Thanks for posting the video, Jackie. I don't even know what to say about Amber's tirade. I'm still shaking my head at how the houseguests deal with emotional issues. I'm not sure about what tom said...purposely loud for ED's sake. Amber was so out of control was she even thinking about others hearing her? Too bad Amber is still there. I've been irriated by her personality since the first episode.

Going to check out Jackie's postings at TV Squad. Jackie rocks!

I'm actually beginning to think that if Eric gets voted out it might be for the best. $500,000 isn't enough money to have to put up with that mad woman (along with the rest of the nutcases) for another month or so.

Carol, Joe, Mike and Nick are the lucky ones.

This year's theme for BB8 shouldn't be Alice in Wonderland. It theme needs to be "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest."

I agree Sasha. This year's group is hard to watch...but I'm hooked thanks to Jackie and everyone here in the blog.

Sasha...No, it's not just you. The HGs are "more nuts than usual". None of them have an interesting dynamic personality so all we get to see is their dysfunction.

OK, jumping over to TV Squad now to read Jackie's post.

My mother and brother are mentally ill with schizo-affective (schiz AND bipolar) disorder. I wasn't sure it was possible, but Amber is way beyond what their troubles are...she has a personality disorder that will take YEARS of therapy to even touch. She's simply off her rocker...she's beyond chemical treatment.

Do people really yell like that at almost strangers? S-C-A-R-Y. I know what he did was crude, but she's the one who told a stranger her very personal stories to begin with!!

I'll just stay holed up in my little condo and as far away from her as possible. I'm glad LV is far away from CT! ~SharonS

Glad Amber will be in the house or in sequester when I am in Vegas in 2 weeks. If I go to Casear's I would not want to run into her!!! IMAO PS I bet I could make her---CRY!!!

I liked how when Danille had Zach up in her room for a chat and she had to point out that "everyone is being nice to you NOW Zach when before no one would even talk to you!"

Like that statement didn't apply to her as well.

These people.

Let me get this straight, she was yelling at Eric because he voted Nick out? Who was the first one to jump the gun and tell Dustin that Nick HAD to go last week? I believe it was Amber! I think everyone is feeling guilty for voting Nick out and they're all taking it out on Eric, it's BS. Eric does not deserve what Amber just dealt him.

I agree with Karen, it would probably be best for Eric to get voted out this week than to stay in that psycho ward!

I'm impressed..... Amber can multi-task!!! Scream, yell and cry ALL AT THE SAME TIME!!!! Oh, mother of Amber, you must be soooo proud. I truly hope her family is planning an
intervention for her when she gets done with BB. SHE NEEDS HELP!!!!!! But at least it might mean another vote for Eric to stay if she sticks with
"swearing on her daughter's life". How many more weeks of this insanity is there????

Sheesh.... After hearing Amber's freak-out, I'm just at a total loss. One of my favorite shows of all times.... now sucks.

Big Brother = Big Bummer.

I watch it to LAUGH, not get depressed. Years past, I used to pay the big bucks for the live feeds since I could stay up all night.... thanks goodness I haven't wasted my life doing that this year.

POOOOR JACKIE!!! You're a real trooper to hang in there with this psycho bunch.... what's up with CBS?? Was the pool of wanna-be houseguests REALLY this lame?

The thing I don't understand is-- you strive to get on the show, you get to take the whole summer off and lounge around by the pool, sleep or work-out when you want, or eat & drink to your heart's delight (if you're not on slop), meet new people you can devise fun devious plans with, sit around in the hot tub, tell stories, make-up entertaining lies about yourself, BASICALLY HAVE A TON OF FUN and maybe even MAKE A TON OF MONEY.... not to mention perhaps gaining a bit of celebrity-- your own "15 Minutes" so to speak.

So what is the problem with these weirdos?

They act like they've been sentenced to prison; I do not understand their complete misery AT ALL. I've watched some of the British Big Brother a couple years; those folks know how to have fun.

My new fave in the house, can't believe I'm saying this-- JESSICA. She has been nothing but civil and a logical thinker. I'll be surprised if CBS even has a BB9 next year. Oh, well. Heavy sigh....

Geez so much for any waffling to keep Eric.

Sydney said...

OMG Karen, I just scraped myself up off the floor after that. You all are far better entertainment than this show has been for weeks. And at least here we can rustle up some HUMOR. Hello!

It'd be so great if Eric (like Jen) could totally let this stuff roll off his back and keep being the humorous goofball he's been in the house (after he quit swearing the entire first week) while DIck and others are trying to rattle him. But that's way to easy to say as infintesimaldick spews toxicity.

I don't know how Jen does it.

Was just reading Jokers and it is sad...Eric keeps saying he did not do those things. Problem is, he is right. We DID them!!! Kind of heart-breaking having a meltdown and we all directed it, not him. Wonder if BB will have an AP ever again?

Still wonder what is up Dustin's sleeve? He keeps telling Jess and Amber to stay their votes for Kail and let him vote for Eric. Dustin can blindside the vote by voting for Kail. Hence Eric stays!!! Anyone else getting that vibe???

Sydney said...

Delee -- I haven't been watching, but that would be great. It would show someone was actually strategizing in that house -- AND keeping it to themselves.

BUT, we still have 24+ hours to go. I'm sure he'll put on his King cape and brag about it his brilliance before the plan has the chance to work.
I sure hope Amber's little tiratde penetrated and gave him pause about his choice of BFF.

Anonymous said...

just to clear it up for some of you, amber isn't mad about the nick thing,
she has no proof eric voted kail to go. amber trusted eric with information about her having 2 abortions which he decided to tell jessica and dick caught wind of it and told amber to show amber what a snake eric is

AMBER aired her own "deepest, darkest" MANY personal "secrets" (which by the way are no longer SECRETS when you tell someone!) ALL OVER THE INTERNET FOR THE WORLD TO SEE AND HEAR-- she's an idiot who is making a worse fool of herself than anyone else, even ED. Her poor family, how pathetic.

They'll all be lucky to have to have to jobs when they get back to reality... losers.

I feel BB will find a way to put Eric BACK in the house if he is voted out. Anyone else think this could be?

2nd year reader (thank you Jackie), first time commentor, Big Brother addict from day one--my favorite guilty pleasure.

I can't help wondering if both Dick and Jen are Chilltown. Looking back on it, Dick was so over the top with Jen and Jen so unaffected (and unlikeable in the beginning) I wonder if it has been an act from Day One.

In any case, I do think Dick has made some mistakes and has gone over the top. Hope he cools it a little. Also like Eric. There is at least some personality with the two of them as opposed to others who dwell in silence (Jessica--although perhaps smart), tears (Amber--as looney as they come), prayers (of course Jameka--as hypocritical as they come) and self pity (Kail, and perhaps Danielle). Dustin is somewhat likeable, perhaps a weasel, but at least a player--can't believe he is falling under Dick's spell though.

In any case, I love Big Brother and I hope this season isn't such a bust that it becomes the last.

(I think that if Dick leaves, he will be brought back--America's Choice, ala Kayser--just for some excitement.)

Also curious that there was mention of more camera time in the sequester house--maybe because the BB house will be too boring to sustain the audience.

Just a few thoughts.

Love reading you all.

K I have been saying for weeks about Dick and Jen working together. Only time will tell if both are Chilltown!!!

Welcome to Jackie's Sane House!!! At times that is!!!

Anonymous said...

delee--maybe Dustin is telling them to keep their votes to keep Eric but he will vote to evict him. Then when(not if) Dick starts ranting about who voted to save Eric, Dustin can point out that he kept his word to Dick and voted to evict him, thus throwing
Jess/Amber under the bus.
That would make them targets and NOT him. Just my own thoughts. WHAT IS WITH THE KING/QUEEN CAPE??
WHERE DID IT COME FROM???
R in Manch 8:36--I soooo
agree. She aired her little secrets long before
Eric did and if you don't want something repeated--
DON'T SAY IT!!!
Does anyone out there REALLY think these people BELIEVE all the crap they are saying about themselves? The only people that will be beating down their doors for interviews will be from the Pysch. dept.at
a local college. They will want to use them for a test study!!!

Nice to see Amber stand up on her own a bit. After she told Eric her secret(yes it was on TV, but she told it to him, not the house), he in turn told others. She swore on her daughters life to keep him in the house and he stabbed that knife in her back... She would be justified if she smacked him across the face. His behavior in the "hot seat" proved to me his true character.YUCK!

I couldn't feel the least bit sorry for the guy. For every five tasks completed he receives $10,000... Not bad compared to the other HG's who receive $750 a week. Also, I liked him until he was in the hot seat this week and the vile way he talked of D&D and threatened to use Amber's secrets until Jess frowned upon it.

I'm hoping Eric is gone tomorrow right along with BB's bad idea...

Hey, cut Tom a break about his English. I think he said before that it's not his first language. And if he's using an online translator, it can spit out some garbled sentences.

At least he has an excuse. I'm not sure what Kail's native language is, but her brain-to-mouth translator is definitely on the fritz.

I'm not asking you to let him off scotch-free, but that's the truthness! Unquestionabubbly!

Anonymous said...

Does anyone stop to think that loonytunes Amber actualyy forgot the cameras were on when she confided her secrets to Eric? AND doesn't it bother any of you that Amber thought she was talking to someone she could trust? Eric pretended he was someone she could trust, then laughed about it, "forced" Jessica to drag it out of him, and only didn't go through with his threat to use it against her because Jessica (who has some morals) told him he couldn't do that. Only then he backed off. Not to mention the utterly disgusting remark about Dick and his daughter. I don't care about the AP thing being unfair anymore. Any mind that thinks the way his does is disgustingly perverse. His "personal attacks" are cruel.

Just hoping to join in all the fun of posting on Jackie's site since the show is so darn awful this season. America's Player is the worse idea ever, especially since they give him such stupid stuff to do. That whole mustard pour was just the worst. Now, here he is, almost on the block to go home, and he is supposed to be telling Jessica he wants to be in the final 2 with her!!! Wouldn't making it to the final 8 be a better place to start??!!! Ach. Hope my password passes the cyberworld test. Chow4now

Deanna - I wrote my comment before I saw yours but as you can see, I totally agree with you on this. I am wholly astonished that anyone feels compassion for Eric. Even Boogie didn't go that far.

Anonymous said...

Whoa! What comment did Eric make about D&D? I don't have cable, so don't get to see the live feeds....what did I miss??

Anonymous said...

He wondered aloud whether Dick and Daniele might have sex together in sequester. He thought that pretty funny. He's perverted! AND he's disgusting. Hope Dick hears about it after the season ends and kicks his slimy ass!

Deanna said...

Joy... I always agree with your postings as well.Great minds think alike... ;) Boogie would not have stooped to Eric's level. I hope he is gone soon. :)

you, could you clarify a bit, please? 8/08/2007 6:19 PM
My comment's generally in reference to what Jackie has posted as Headliner which you all probably refer to them as main topic/subject therefore my comments surrounded latest video of Amber in which Jackie had added, though I expected someone wouldn't understand what I meant after having written first its understandable I did write it incorrect; I wrote TNZ OOps I meant to write TMZ; if your not familiar with TMZ site; manner in which people blog after breaking news; I'm certain my explaining wouldn't cut it, No I don't use AOL translator, yes I did explain about my family, although if your bored and have nothing better to do, you could go back and review Jackie's blog over the past 2 yrs on BB; my bet you probably wouldn't find a single comment about not being able to understand what I'd written; I guess I could blame my parents < g > LoL for speaking to us siblings in 3 different languages, Nah or better yet I could repy ; I was pulling a ED, ( fronting/calling someone out, but I won't throw HIM under the bus )Haha < g > if so; I'm disappointed it took nearly 24 hrs to prove my point ***************** I'll break it down < g >
Amber is basically attempting to back peddle perhaps feeling some what guilty in regards to having sworn on her daughters life.
**********
Surely most know the term used back-peddle? In case you don't it simply means for me; ( a person might be changing their story soon, going back to original plan or re-thinking their steps ) Amber's crying stunt Imo was a reflection of her own guilt after having used her daughter, its Amber's excuse to other HG's why she has no choice but to evict Kail therefore Amber's " Back-peddling " I wrote ********
I'm leery if in indeed it wasn't stated loudly primarily for Dicks benefit, or perhaps Dustin has indicated to Amber he'll have to toss her in river without life jacket,
********
I wondered who is Amber really trying to sell her theory to? Because IMO her antics appeared almost staged ( you do know what stage means < g >
comments regarding Dustin in a nut shell, Amber knows her name was also on the banner,I felt Dustin or Eric would have reminded Amber of this; by tossing her in a river without a life jacket simply means your going to sink either way if you aren't able to get a grip of yourself.
I'm at a HMMMMM it was conveniently placed.
******** for it means nice timing on Ambers part to suddenly feel guilty so overall Amber was Back peddling now if you view Jackies current Post, it appears as if Amber indeed convinced herself she'd have to stick with her original plan on who she'd evict
*** I'm NOT being rude however; If I had a difficult time understanding someone why not just ignore their posts, it'll prevent future headaches, there's plenty of wordings I've seen used which I get the jest of their meaning, I suddenly realize why my daughter didn't understand the meaning of " Karma's a B " I previously had wrote about that, it's not on a personal note to any of you guys, I'm glad I didn't share my mother not understanding the term ghetto, it was hilarious though, Bottom line I expected those responses, Therefore I Thank - You. Jameka I promise you on my alright I won't write my brother < g > next time I shall sleep at least 4 hrs prior to posting, geez working online for nearly 28 hrs without sleep tends to make one sound nutty! I'm too tired to proof read it I bet you know this ; OWELL! LOL< g > Grrrr
