'Big Brother 8' - Season Finale - Live-Blogged from the East Coast


I screen-capped this image from the blocked feeds and kind of took it over! I received a note from Zoetawny (posting from an Internet cafe) -- she's sorry to miss the end of the season.

Here on the East Coast, the show is starting. As it airs, I'll constantly (well, very frequently) be updating this entry. Please feel free to comment and have a good time! Please forgive any typos as I'm watching the show, too!

We're into a brief season recap now. Dick just re-won the final HOH. And the show should really begin soon.

Look! The blocked feeds are on the plasma screen!

Zach arrives at sequester after Dustin least wants to see Zach. Jen wants to see Dick walk through the door ... and it's ZACH! Eric tells him he would have won six to one.

America's Player -- Who should Eric campaign and vote for to win? Dick. Eric thinks we chose wisely. The jury doesn't seem to like Eric's idea. He goes into car salesman mode, talking up Dick and down Daniele. Amber looks like she's going to cry. Jen is very against Dick, but all of a sudden Amber is defending Dick and telling Jen whe flipflopped.

They start looking at the game the two played. Zach brings up the competition winning. Eric brings up Dick's victories. Amber says Dick played for two people. She said Dick played "awesome." Jessica is pro-Dick win, too. Daniele is the pimp, E.D. is the ho according to Jameka. Evel or Evel Spawn will win comes from Dustin.

The jury questioning -- help me in comments if I don't type fast enough, guys.

Dustin -- Dick, knowing that your daughter said I'll carry my daad with me because he's a terrible person and I'll win. Dick is hppy, strongest team.

Amber for Daniele -- Why give the vote, you're a pathetic person for doing what you did to your BF with Nick. D -- I don't want your vvote if based on personal life.

Jessica -- Who other than Daniele to sit with (to Dick) -- Pnly Daniele. Tough decision.

Eric -- Dick -> each jury member deserve to be in the final two? Dustin, Jen, Amber.. do not deserve, mentions Amber and good people. Jessica didn't bloody hands, Eric played best, Jameka was given chance, Zach almost made it.

Zach - What have you learned from each jury member -- Daniele will take Eric's humor, Amber heart and Mom of the house. Dick learned from Dustin to be careful with power, says Jen has a real person down in there, Jameka best hearted person, Zach run for the money don't underestimate will and heart.

Jameka - Not using your father to advance in the game, biggest move. Eric thing, backdooring Jen

Jen -- Hello, it's me, don't respect you as people. Dick did you build relationship with Daniele? Dick shocked w/question beginning to build normalcy, ends with if you don't know you're an idiot. Daniele thinks they made a lot out of it and there's no one esle she wants to sit next to. Dick played the game hard, strategy to work with Jessica and Eric. He feels the worse about turning on Jessica and Eric. He did a lot of the dirty work. We won.

Speech session over, D&D alone -- she accuses him of campaigning against her.

Jury coming in. Amber looks HORRIBLE! Jessica and Jen look nice. Eric looks Eric-y, Jameka very pretty. Zach looks Zach-like. He should have worn a bunny suit.

D&D are in the house, Julie is out with the crowd and the jury. Daniele says it was nice to spend time with her Dad and she's happy. Time for the jury to cast their votes.

Jurors put each key in the box, one statement.

Eric -- 1 - Clearcut choice good luck
Jameka - 2 - Vote for one whose game she respects
Dustin - 3 - Based on strategic action, not just words
Jen - 4 - I'd rather not, but must
Zach - 5 - Longest, blah-blah
Amber -6 - Congrats, close to both, based on game strategic purpose, whoops
Jessica - 7 - Voting for the person I enjoyed more in the house, may the best Donato win

The first five evicted will be coming in next.

Julie is with Dick's Mom and his son Vincent -- Daniele's grandmother who raised her and her brother. Charlotte is happy that they made strides in rebuilding the relationship. Vincent says he's always like that but it got him where he is in the game.

Nick's hair has grown in. He gets to talk to Daniele. Awkward says Daniele in a high voice.

Carol is asked about Jessica -- kind of proud, but there were some personal words. Joe said he liked watching Dustin fall apart, but congrats ... you got far. Dustin doesn't reply. Mike was rooting for Zach. Kail not surprised that Dick made it that far.

Time to reveal the big twist -- America's Player. Tells jury and Donatos. "One of you has a secret, one has not played alone, one is not who you appear to be."

This is HILARIOUS! I couldn't type through it.

Jessica is speechless. Not mad at him.

Dick benefited from the AP -- Julie talks to Dick. He thought he made a great power play and it was all Eric. Awesome, wow!

Daniele -- Knew mustard and votes, hilarious.

Dustin -- Eric can sell anything, enjoyed paradise. Jameka says it makes sense to her, she never could trust him. Jen now understands America mustarded her shirt. Eric tells Dustin and Amber he's sorry. Eric tells Jessica that he wanted to tell her for so long, but everything he said to her about them was true.

Julie tells them Eric cast the vote for America tonight.

The reveal of the votes...

1. AmERICa -Dick
2. Jameka - Daniele
3. Dustin - Dick
4. Jen - Daniele
5. Zach - Dick
6. Amber - Dick

Dick wins BB8!!!

Last vote not read yet as only four needed to win. Daniele taking it well.

Last vote was Jessica voting for Dick to win. Dick's going on a trip. Daniele is in the WE WON mode and is ecstatic.

Nick looks fat for Nick. Daniele asksed Julie if she'll be at the wrap party. I think she's starstruck ... over Julie Chen? Puh-leeze!

Y'all happy with this outcome? I think this was actually one of the better season finales. The America's Player reveal was better than the twist itself.

jessica voted for dick, but that was kind of obvious because during the questioning she was like does no one realize danielle made dick do all the dirty work. So i assumed that was who she voted for

Not enough time at the end. Should be like survivor and get reactions and comments from players for the last hour.

Well Jackie it's all over and now its time to say goodbye, until next year. You did a great job and its time for a vacation.. I can't wait until next season.

I'm happy Dick won, but I really wanted Dani to win. At least one of the Donatos won. Okay see you next year Jackie.

Joe in NY said...

Whatever you might say about Dick, he does love his kids. Walked right off camera to see Vincent when they first came out and then abandoned Julie at the end to go see Vincent again.

It was a fun season, no matter what the naysayers may post!

Yeah, kind of funny that they didn't mention Eric's blood money! I think you would have gotten a very different reaction from some of the HGs


Good final show! I noticed there was no mention of money either. It will be interesting to see if any of the HGs have a reaction to the news when they find out.

Is the party over?

It's like a damn book missing the end chapter. I NEED CLOSURE!!!

I think I read in one of Dani's diary entries that her mother is remarried and lives about an hour from her with a couple of siblings. I wonder why she hasn't ever been mentioned. It sounded from her diary that she got along with her and her step dad and siblings.

well jackie, that's a wrap. you did great. thanks for a place to chat and vent and laugh and cheer.

it's been fun everyone. see ya next season.

Melissa - Her mother hasn't been in her life for most or all of her life. I know I saw mention of her while poking through Daniele's LiveJournal, but they never mentioned her on the feeds or show.

I want to see some heavier women in the house. The closest they've ever been was Nakomis. Remember her in that bikini bottom with the pasty white thighs?

Thank you Jackie, it was a great summer!!!

Hope to see you bloggers around!

Joe in NY said...

becky,

Unfortunately, we won't know what that reaction is unless one of them sues CBS (and I wouldn't put it past them - too many lawyers looking for work!)

All good things come to an end.. Good night Gracie, er I mean Jackie. It's been real...fun. Thanks for the memories...Ok I am done with the cliches. See you Thursday for Survivor.

I told you Zach would have won unanimously if he had made the final two! :-) I think he played a better game then you give him credit for and I don't think he's any more of an idiot then anyone else who played this season.

Donna

Congratulations to Dick!

Anonymous said...

I agree, it was a great season. It certainly kept people talking.

Just wanted to say thanks again Jackie. You and the other commenters make BB far more interesting than to just watch the show. Without your updates I would probably be blind because the text is so small at Jokers. Besides, your take on the goings on in the house is far more interesting than straight text. THANKS AGAIN!!
See ya Thursday for Survivor.

Joe in NY said...

well, I wish I could hang around, but I've got work to do.

Thanks to Jackie for all she does.

Thanks to all of you with names for the laughs.

I will be back for Survivor - my favorite reality show.

Donna,

You forget, I like Zack. (He's still an idiot.) I always liked Zack, even before it was fashionable. (Still think he's an idiot.) I think he was one of the "Good People" in the house, and I would definitely hang with him. (Still an idiot) And he didn't play badly, (idiot) but he did miss his one shot at winning the game.

And, by the way, he may have won unanimously but that was the "anybody but the Donatos" vote, not respect for his game.

(still an idiot)

And remember, I did say that of all the HGs, I was most like Zack. (still, yes, still an idiot)

LOL

Zack comes to the jury house and they all clearly don't want Dick to win..Eric starts talking and they all change their vote like the stupid sheep they are..which is why they lost in the first place...stupid ppl suck LOL

Jackie and my fellow commenters...

Thank you all for such a fun summer. I had several work days where nothing much got done because I was checkin' the blog. It was one of the first things I did when I got there and one of the first I did when I got home. I've spent many an evening with my laptop in my recliner arguing, laughing, crying (Terry in CA...you're still in my prayers!) with all of you! I couldn't have asked for a more comfortable place to feed my dirty addiction (television!).

And yes, I'll be around for Survivor. My mom introduced me to Jackie last summer and I've been a daily visitor since!

meb said...

I'm going to read all this tomorrow at work... but I must say, this was the best of the best!!!!! Julie was great... Reaction to Eric was great... I just enjoyed every bit of this.

I heard Julie say to Daniele that the Wrap Party is on Thursday. I think Daniele thought it was tonight. Did I hear that correctly.

Thanks so much Jackie... This was the icing on the cake and so well presented.

Anonymous said...

So Joe, let me get this straight because I'm still a little confused. You think Zach is an idiot, right?

Joe in NY said...

Orkmommy!

Your "dirty addiction"? I feel like such an enabler... :)

Orkmommy,

That's right. An idiot. LOL

I can't go back on that now, what would people think of me?

[Although since I got called a stalker today on the other thread, I suppose any change in opinion would have to be an improvement!]

joy n said...

All season long I've been afraid to say that just once I'd love to see the one I want to win actually win. I thought I might jinx it or something. Well, it finally happened! Dick won. I've been vocal about wanting him to win, but usually, in other seasons, I've been disappointed. Not this year. I'm so happy, I can't stand myself.

Anonymous said...

YAY! I'm so happy Dick won the big money over Daniele.

Anonymous said...

If others have posted the same thoughts,I am sorry,but just too many to read.

I could not believe that Amber took Jen to task for "forgiving " dick for all the vile things he said to her and how that demeaned her(Jen).WTF????? Where was Amber to defend her when he was spewing that crap in the house. Did the dummy stand up for Jen??? NO,so STFU!!!!

Interesting that Julie didn't tell the jury and house that Eric made big bucks off of his "tasks". Not a word was said,probably because they would not have taken that as well.JMO

Who the heck dresses Chen? I thought she looked like a mess tonight. Those "schoolmarm" shoes,then the leather skirt,which totally didn't go with the sweater set and that necklace that was so not what to wear! She needs to fire her stylist.

Thank God this is over!!!!!

Jackie S. said...

ORKMommy - They have a notable blogs thingee, but nothing by number. My numbers this season actually weren't as high as the last two because AOL didn't link me this year -- with reason, though. AOL owns Weblogs, Inc. - who owns TV Squad. They linked my feeds reports for there, but not here.

RiseandShine said...

I loved that they showed Jameka saying that something wasn't right. I really thought she might have run with that except that she really didn't have anyone in the house to talk to at that time. She was the only one who really gave it a serious pause.
I wonder if their reactions will be different when they find out about Eric's prize money.
I sure hope CBS gave Amber a heads-up. I tend to doubt that they did though.
Well, well, the end of summer is here now. Finale night is bittersweet in so many ways, eh?

Anonymous said...

See everyone likes dick! I thought not mentioning Erics money bags would have changed the reactions of the hgs. Amber will have someone explain it to her later...lol
I loved Jessicas dress, but not the curls. Dani looked very nice as did Jameka. Amber, please get the help you need, in every aspect of your life...I too was thinking if the camera wasn't careful we'd get a cookie shot!
Goooooooooooooo Dickkkkkkkkkkk.
That man does make good looking kids.

I wonder if Amber noticed that Julie talked to every person there EXCEPT her. She even talked to Mike & Carol and nobody really remembers them. I'd love to be a fly on her wall for the next few days...

And why wasn't her family there? I would demand that my daughter be there so I could hug her as soon as the show was over!

Thank You Jackie for another excellent season. At least this year you were not tied up with your bad knee surgery and Physical Therapy(PT=Physical Torture). When do you get a break or vacation? You deserve it, but then who would blog the shows for us. Thanks again for another great summer. See you all next summer.Kat

ORKMommy - You can click on that sitemeter image and look at the stats. I think I have the basics open for view.

But I don't think I had any 20,000 unique visitor days this season as I did in the past when AOL promoted the blog. But I understand them not promoting it as they're promoting the content they pay me to write for them. ;-)

there may be an age limit - 18 or older - to be in the studio audience. hopefully Ambers daughter is close by along with some psychological support.

My memory's already gone...to what were you referring? I'm a sad case, all I can think of is the banging of the pots and pans.

Bye to you all...I don't watch Survivor but I'm tempted to check back in just for the blog.

I watched the show, but couldn't get to the computer until now...so I missed the party here. (do I sound whiney?!!) God love her, I had to mention my thoughts on Amber.

I loved the camera on her face, as Julie spoke of the twist and how someone wasn't who they seemed this season. It looked to be like Amber was thinking, "Is it me?" "Am I the twist?

And OrkMommy, You said Amber looked bored while standing behind Julie at the end. I think Amber was reading the teleprompter and was slightly confused. Were there some big words in the sign off message?

Fun to be here tonight, Jackie, even if I am the latest and at the end of 3 billion comments. : ) Sue

I am happy to hear Dick won. If Dani won I bet she wouldn't have given Dick anything thinking his 50 grand was enough. He, on the other hand will share more...not that she deserves it, but that is the man I think he is..IMO. Deep down I think he is a loving, caring man.

I'm late at posting again. Oh well.

Jackie, thank you for the blog. I really enjoyed it. I am glad Dick won. Truethfully, I did not know Eric was paid extra for being "America's Player." Yep, I agree, I think the reactions would have been different if others had known that. Anyway, they took it well. Dick probably thought everyone would have hated him.

Waiting anxiously for Thursday. I'm a bigger Survivor fan than a BB fan. I'm so glad you started the blog for that also. I've been on the AOL Survivor board for years. Enjoy your blog because I pick up things from that I might have missed. It's a lot of fun.

Til next year...take care everyone.

Deanna said...

YES!!!!!! Soooooo happy Dick won. Thought the show was great. Loved the AP reveal and the look on Ambers face when they kept showing Eric holding up Americas choice for eviction and her name was there. She looked crushed... Glad the "good people" knew that America didn't like them.

Ambers personal attack on Daniele was to be expected since I'm sure she was unable to come up with a "game" question. She didn't know how to play the game in the house, what makes us think she would be any different in the jury?? Besides, it was her, in the first episode that declared "sparks" between her and Nick. The girl is lost.... I seriously feel for her mental health and hope she has a good support system at home.

The fact that the jury tells Zack that he would have won 6-1 made me laugh and @@... It is easier to say that when he is the jury. Since most of the jury rewarded game play over personal, I doubt they would have rewarded Zack for his 2-3 weeks of game play over Dicks entire season. Joe in NY was right, if they had voted for Zack to win, it wouldn't have been a Zack win, it would have been a "anyone but a Donato" win.

Joy n... I'm on the west coast, so I usually squeak in here late on the "live" nights. Your so sweet for missing me! Congrats on our guy winning!!! This too is the first season that someone I have liked since day one has taken the whole thing. WOO-HOO!!! Glad to see your a Survivor fan and look forward to chatting up that show!

PEACE to all, it was a fun BB summer...

Joe,

Glad to see you are sticking around for Survivor. I enjoy your lengthy but intelligent posts. I was thinking that maybe you should consider changing your name to "Casablogo" since you seem to be the resident flirt. =)

Jackie,
Splendid job once again! Ive been haunting the boards since the summer you had your knee surgery, although I only posted under the dreaded anonymous. This year, I came out of the closet with my permanent nic. Snickering is what I seem to do when reading what the houseguests are either falling for or saying, so I thought it appropriate. Again, I want to thank you and congratulate you on your new gig at TV Squad. I always thought your talent should be paid for!

Survivor time!

Well friends, I'm so sorry I missed the party with you last night. I had to be somewhere else, adn got back too late last night to watch my tivo'd version. But as my husband went to bed I sat up and scrolled through all your comments here and literally was laughing out loud, when I wasn't snickering or cackling. I think it might have been better to read all your reactions minute by minute than to see the thing on air! I am saving it to watch with him tongiht. Looking forward to Survivor!

And Jackie, maybe you can indeed open up a Friday Night Lights discussion room for us... and a Project Runway one too?

Anonymous said...

Day after thoughts...Dick hugged his mom son...Dani hugged Nick. Since Dick's mom raised her you'd think she'd care a bit about the woman...but not Dani. No wonder her real mom didn't show...lives close by the Donatos but is remarried with two kids. Could be Dani is unlikable. America preferred dirty Dick...and so did I. There was just something so smug about that girl/woman that made me want to slap her face numerous times, esp. after the jury interviewed them and Dick tried so hard to throw all the votes to her and she berates him. Like he said...You can't win with her. I hope he takes his son with him on his travels...seems like a nice young man...and maybe a part of the trip with mom too...she raised not only him but his kids.

meb said...

nora in ohio... Dani did hug her grandmother immediately after hugging Nick. You could have missed it because she was hidden by Dick and Vincent, but she did give her a big hug. I still have it on tape.

I think we should be careful about being so open as to real identities on the blog. I mean I would love to tell everyone who I am and what I do, but this anonymous person who accuses joe of being a stalker, might in fact be trying to learn joe's identiy so (s)he can stalk him.

No big surprise, but it's nice that someone who actually knows him confirmed this for us!

Deanna said...

Anon 1:18... Yes, Dick's son did say that, but he also said that everyone should remember that it is just game. I've always said that I liked Dick because he didn't hide behind a fake persona,but was who he is, love or hate him. Quote the entire thing, or not at all.

I'm surprised no one mentioned Amber's hypocrisy at criticizing Jen for Dick's bashing. It isn't like ANYONE else ever stood up for Jen. Was she supposed to take on the psychopath and dump iced tea on HIS head? She really is a holier-than-thou idiot jackass. I hope she's already gotten word that she's been pegged a racist in the press.

I just saw on the CBS website (rest of the interview from the Early show) that Nick will be moving to Orange County to be with Nick. I think it's kinda cute.

Evel is still baffled about the whole AP but I still say HE played a great game. Like he said as awful as he was to them, they all still voted for him to win. Congrats Evel, I'm glad someone I wanted to win finally won.

First my sincere thanks to Jackie for all the work. Your writing has been enjoyable and very much appreciated!
2nd: I find it disturbing that all that DICK did has been forgotten simply because he "won". This hero worship is also disturbing, particularly, since we saw what this man is made of-pure rage. He only won since he was the best of two evils. I'm saddened that people can look up to someone who distroys peoples self esteem and thinks nothing of it. He is a horrible, nasty, rude, crude, jerk.

orkmommy...i totally agree with you that eric had the hardest game to play of all. hard in so many ways.....having to go against alliances for a vote and being found out...having feelings for jessica and not being able to be honest....frustration of not being able to vote the way he wanted to vote....that had to be really difficult. kudos for lasting as long as he did! and with it all....some of it was the funniest stuff i ever saw!

I noticed something interesting last night when reading the Eligibility Requirements for BB, Daniele did not meet them. I know it is too late for this to matter and besides, the Producers obviously knew that she did not meet the requirements. Requirement #6 states; 'You must be at least 21 years of age at the time of application'. Daniele turned 21 in the house. Just goes to show you that rules are meant to be broken, at least where BB Producers are concerned.

meb - Not really a problem, but once folks (not just you) respond to something which I'd like to remove, all of a sudden it's a conversation on its own and if I remove it folks get upset. It's much easier to remove these when it's one anonymous personal remark than after the fact.

But it's not just you and it's happened before. I'd prefer those kind of comments just get ignored.

Quote of the night came from, who else, Jen:
"I wondered who would do something so immature, and now I know: it was AMERICA."
I just about died when she said that. She cracks me up.

Did you see the faces of Amber et al when it dawned on them that the viewers chose to evict Dustin over Dick? There was definitely a hint of "what the hell is wrong with America" there, and I loved it.

anon 6:06 - If you go to cbs morning show and click on videos, you scroll down and there are 2 videos. The one they showed on the morning show when they got there checks and there is another one that lasts 11 or 12 mins. That's when Nick is brought up by Julie and actually Evel answers the question.

Anon 4:54 - It has been brought up here before, Evel had to sign a waiver so Daniele could be in the house. Quit looking for the conspiracy theories. The season is over. Let it go.

I am so dissapointed that either of them won...was so hoping for an upset (Jen sure whould have done it!) by the jury not voting for Evil or Dani. At least she didn't win, & even seemed okay about it.
Connie looked like a mess! I am not into the fashion bit, but I do notice the clothes she wears & last nites choice was a disaster. That sweater style sucks, looked like she had it on upside down, inside out & twisted. LOL And then the necklace, oh! wow.
Ambers baby frock was a shocker, too. Jes & Jam looked very beautiful & I was dissapointed that Jen didn't wear something more dressy.
Was glad that Dani shot down good person Amber with her retort about her personal life outside the BB house...Amber was done for, I bet she is still thinking about it.
Now I'm ready for Survivor!
Thanks everyone here for making this blogging site one of the best & see some of ya later!

Jackie great job again! This was my 3rd with you and we'll have to do it again next year - that is if I don't make it into the house. And if I do I'll be making shout outs to you all the time on the feeds and live show!

Did everyone see Chicken George, Kaysar, Howie and Janelle in the audience last night? They acknowledged CG, K and H with their names across the bottom of the screen, but not Janelle for some reason. They showed her twice as D&D came out of the house and out into the audience. She was a few rows up and not smiling at all. Chicken George, Kaysar and Howie all looked great! And yes, Orkmommy, Howie did look a bit heavier. I couldn't figure out what he was saying to the camera though.

I didn't see CG, maybe I FF'ed throu him & missed him. I had to rewind for Howie and Kayser. Janelle's name did appear on the screen, either going to or coming back from one of the commercials. But she was shown on camera more than once and the name was only shown one time.

I must have missed Janelle's name on the screen, but I saw George before they showed Howie and Kaysar. He had a huge smile on his face . Gotta love that guy!

Janie's name and Big Brother All Stars was shown early in the show. You can rewatch the show at cbs.com. She and her mother got a lot of camera time and was smiling, laughing, and waving a 'We trust the Donatos' sign during much of the show.

She did look sad or subdued when the winner was announced. From what she said on Housecalls and elsewhere, she was rooting for Dani for the win. She may have been disappointed in the results or even the reaction to Eric as America's Player and his success in his final task. She didn't like him as a person, but felt he was a good player.

Or maybe someone stepped on her foot - who knows :-)

I loved the outcome and loved the finale. So glad the fall season starts this week, but I will be looking forward to next summer and BB9. Have a great trip, Evel Dick!
