Sneak Peek: 'Saving Grace' on TNT

Saving Grace is a new original drama scheduled to make its debut on TNT next Monday night, July 23, following The Closer.

I think that TNT is going to be building itself a pretty powerful 2-hour block running these two series back-to-back.

Holly Hunter stars as Grace, a rather wild-child fast-living Oklahoma City detective who has attracted a bizarre guardian angel named Earl (Leon Rippy from Deadwood).

I've never been keen on guardian angel shows. I mean, no offense to Della Reese, but I guess I just like my television on the more gritty side of life. But I liked my screener of the Saving Grace pilot. Oh, no! I must be going to heck in a handbasket, eh? I like an angel kind of show? Yipes!

Oh, but this one is different. It's definitely for a more adult audience and parents might not want their children to watch. But I find the concept, the acting, and the characters engaging. Grace's irrational behavior kind of stretches the acceptability level for cops, but angel Earl saves the day... in just as unconventional sort of way. One of Earl's other "clients" is a murderer on Death Row? I love the quirk!

Give it a shot next Monday night at 10 PM. After all, Holly Hunter has won both Emmys and an Academy Award (for The Piano). Do you think she would have taken just any ol' TV job? Nope! Then there's Earl, destined to be the most quirky angel ever on television.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds - Overnight Into 7/17

Shhh... the houseguests are sleeping as I get this posted.

Yes, Dick just went to bed a bit ago, but he's nestled in there now. Hey, if he didn't go to bed so late, the East Coast wouldn't have the Evel Dick Show to watch while sipping their morning coffee!

Here are the late night events from that Big Brother house of Mrs. Robinson and Hopin' Joltin' Joe Will Go:

• Kail tried for three seasons to get on the show while Dustin was recruited -- it was Joe who applied.
• Nick told Amber that he wanted a good person win the money -- like her (Amber) or Jameka. He said that, to him, making good friends is more important than the money. (Now, if you want to make friends... go join a club or church, get involved in the community, even go to the local bar... why get locked in a house with madmen for three months?)
• Although Joe begged him, Dustin told him that he would not be voting for him to stay.
• That made Joe go on an anti-Dustin tantrum complete with namecalling and flame coming out of his ears. (Okay, I made the last part up. But he was mad.)
• Joe asked Eric if he sleepwalks. Eric denied it.
• Jen said she ranks number two in a Google search for the term "hot bikini model." Go ahead, try it and report back.
• Jessica and Joe took a shower together without the divider up. Joe thanked her for the lesson in female anatomy. @@
• Joe thinks he was a target since the first day because of the enemy twist. (I beg to differ -- it was his reaction to the twist, not the twist itself, which made him the target.)
• Dick, Daniele, Jessica, and Joe tried to move the topiary bunnies and deer (which are fake), but Big Brother yelled at them to put them back. So they just decorated them and set a scene.
• Dick told Daniele that Amber is too close to Dustin and he doesn't really trust Dustin. He thinks Dustin will have to go after Kail, Zach, and Jen.
• Daniele told Dick that it's very hard to use the veto knowing someone else had to be put up for eviction.
• Dick thinks he'll be safe from eviction for two or three weeks after this one. He doesn't know if he'll try for HOH. (He's telling us this in the Dick Show when he addresses the cameras and talks to the Internet.)
• Last one in bed was Dick. He finished drying the laundry, he hit the sack at almost 6 AM (PT) after greeting the sun.

'Big Brother 8' -Live Feeds Stuff - Into the Evening 7/16

Who will be evicted? Will it be Dick or Joe? Graphic artist Zoetawny wants to know!

Since the Power of Veto Ceremony, Joe's been even more annoying than usual. That, but of course, is good for Dick's cause. Although it often sounds like an ouster is a sure thing, until the votes are cast we really don't know how it'll all go down. But the more houseguests Joe can alienate in between now and the voting on Wednesday, the better chance Dick has of staying in the house.

Here's what's been happening in the Big Brother House of Frantic Campaigning:

• Nick told Amber and Jameka that he doesn't think Joe has enough votes to stay.
• Kail wants Mike to vote Dick out.
• Kail thinks that Mike, Nick, herself, and possibly Eric will vote Dick out. (She doesn't know that Eric's vote is OURS.)
• She thinks that she may be able to get Zach in on the Vote Out Dick Movement.
• When Joe approached her, Amber told him that she must vote for Dick to stay.
• Jen told Kail it's better if Joe goes -- if he stays, he'll be a target. Kail told her that Evel Dick owes her a favor.
• Kail doesn't understand why both Jen and Mike are bothered by Zach. She doesn't see the behavior.
• Jen said that no one wants Zach in sequester.
• Jen thinks it may be a close vote week which means everyone has to be nice to her. @@
• Joe, when begging Jessica for her vote, also asked her how to get Mike's vote... to stay, of course.
• Joe told Jessica he caught Dustin lying to him. The lie? He didn't tell him that Jen was putting him on the block when he knew that was the case. (I wouldn't tell him either!)
• Jen talked about Vanna White, the mother of the family for whom she's a nanny. Gag me with a spoon.
• Joe moaned that this season is "so scripted." I believe he means due to the presence of Dustin he can't play the game as he had planned.
• Daniele said Joe is putting too much pressure on her calling her his only hope to stay in the game.
• Eric thinks that if Joe stays and wins HOH, he'll put him on the block.
• Kail told Daniele that her father had asked her to spare her (Daniele) the week she was HOH so he could have another week with Daniele. She also told her that Dick said he owes her for doing so.
• Kail told Danielle she's still scared Dick might come after her if he stays. Daniele told Amber that she'll tell Dick to target Jen, Mike, or Zach... but to keep his word to Kail.
• Joe thinks he has Kail, Dustin, Mike, Zach, and Eric votes.
• When Dick asked Jessica if he was overconfident, she insisted he was staying.
• Dustin told Kail he wants Joe to go.
• Dick brought up the Spool of Lies. Heh.
• Dick told Kail that Daniele doesn't like Zach.
• Dick also told Kail that he heard that she said he was her target. She claimed it's only because she thought he was going to go after her, but she feels safe with him now. (We'll see how safe on Thursday. Dick and Kail are the two serious BB gamers in the house. It could be the War of the Worlds when those two collide.)
• Jen told Jessica that Amber offered to go up as a pawn to get Dick out of the house. (I vaguely recall that, but don't know how serious she was about it.)

So, there you go. It's a Spool of Lies on a wild Merry-Go-Round. I think that Dick is probably safe, but I know I'll vote for Eric to vote Joe out.

'Hell's Kitchen' - A Quick Take on Episode 7

It's down to six chefs, three men and three women, in this season's Hell's Kitchen. If you ask me, none of them are ready to take on the responsibilities of running a fine dining restaurant. None of them.

Julia is a personal favorite of mine. I think that in many areas, she may be the most competent chef all around. Alas, she's not all too familiar with the sort of restaurant which she would win. Plus, while she can take charge, I think her lack of fine dining experience hurts her own self-esteem.

Jen. I don't care for her. Technically, she may have the most experience on the womens' team, but I can't get past her planning to use pasta she retrieved from the trash can. I know I should get over it, but I just can't. Eww.

Then there's Bonnie. Chef Ramsay is slightly right when he implies (being kind here) that she's a bit dippy. She may be creative and have great ideas, but she can't follow through in the kitchen. From her own mouth tonight, "My creativity supercedes what I can do."

Onto the men, I found Brad especially annoying tonight. In the service, they had to make their own menus. He practically took over and wouldn't work with Josh or Rock at all. Then he screws up in the kitchen.

Josh has always been a bit of a non-entity to me throughout the season. He is in no way ready to run anything more involved than a chain restaurant. No, not fancy dining. Nuh-uh.

Now, I think Rock has the talent in the kitchen. But his personal skills are a bit lacking. He gets explosive and boils rather than attempting to actually work with a team.

Get rid of all of them and give us replacements, please.

Tonight the challenge was to serve one appetizer and two entrees out of leftovers provided to them. They had a half-hour to whip it all together. The guys won, partly because Julia made fish and chips which were good but won't fly in a fancy-schmancy restaurant. The men got to go play paintball with Ramsay while the women cleaned and took in the deliveries. They screwed up the checking in of the deliveries and caused themselves even more work.

In setting up the service in which each team chose its menu, the women substitured Julia's choice of NY strip steak at the last minute. Wise choice; it was the most popular dish.

The women got off to a great start while the men faltered. Before the service, Ramsay mentioned teamwork. Neither team knows the meaning of the word. The women refused to talk to each other and the lack of communication loused up their work. With the men, Josh was totally sinking when Ramsay told Rock and Brad to help him. Neither made a move to save their team.

At the end, Ramsay praised Julia and fired Brad. As it should be.

But, if it were me, I'd fire 'em all and give the kid from the fryer at the local roadside stand a chance at the big time.

Latest on TV Squad

Hey there! Head on over to my latest on TV Squad and make some noise! Er, polite yet engaging noise, please! :-)

I cover the quickie updates through the day here up through Joe's reaction to his nomination.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Bulletin - POV Ceremony Results

As expected, Joe is now on the block with Dick. It's confirmed when he had a talk with Daniele after the feeds returned.

Again, Daniele saved herself. Joe and Dick are up for eviction.

'Big Brother 8' - Still Awaiting POV Ceremony, But...

They're in an outdoor lockdown and it seems the POV Ceremony, now woefully overdue from its supposed starting time, should be held soon.

In the meantime, it seems like Allison Grodner's Joe Crush is scheduled to take a blow...

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Video - Joe Confronts Eric About the Bed Visit

Here's the video clip I uploaded to YouTube. Joe confronts Eric about the visit to his bed. Be warned... Eric is a pottymouth. I don't think they'll be able to use any or much of this on the show! A bit too much info at the end, too. ;-)

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Bulletin - America's Player

Okay, it looks like we (America) wanted Eric to sleepwalk himself into Joe's bed. Joe and Jessica are actually in bed together (sleeping), but Eric has crawled in on Joe's side and is trying to use him as a pillow... or a maybe a teddy bear.

An added note: That Dingo from Hamsterwatch has posted a video of the task on YouTube. I was late on the record button, so I scrapped mine.

They just woke the houseguests up. Since we're getting blue liquid tunnel and the theme song, they must be playing the wake-up song.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feed Report - Late Night and Overnight into 7/16

<--- Joe atop Nick to "give him the attention a boy like him deserves." Nick didn't protest. Daniele just laughed.

After yesterday afternoon/early evening's Magnus Strong Man Olympics, there were some bits of gameplaying betwixt the houseguests. But not a lot. There was a period in which Jameka was talking about religion with Eric and others were playing word games in the kitchen... I thought, well, this just shouldn't be happening. These folks need to be scheming. They need to be wheelin' and dealin'! I was saved by Dick and Daniele. No, not the kind of saving Jameka was talking about with Eric. It was far from divine intervention.

But it was something. Unfortunately, when I tried to record the video I got an odd echo and missed the first part. But here's what I caught -- be ready to turn up the volume:



Here's the quick skinny on the Big Brother House Hamster Happenings:

• Dick told Daniele to be careful about winning too much. She said she had to win the veto. He agreed that one of them did and he was glad she won.
• Dick told her that Amber and Kail have been too close (not referring to the chains) and he doesn't trust them. Daniele told him she trusts Amber.
• Daniele wants Dick to think of something she can say at the POV ceremony.
• They actually came across as father and daughter for much of the talk.
• Magnus and Cragnus (Mike and Nick) tied for the win in their games. This should be fun for the show on Tuesday. I was cracking up watching the feeds.
• Jameka told Dick that if he stays and the next HOH is between them, she would give it to him.
• Dick told Jameka that if Daniele was replaced with Nick, he might have trouble winning against him.
• Amber told Nick that Jen would vote for him to leave instead of Dick. She said when she mentioned Nick votes to stay from others, Jen said something about "well, this won't work then."
• The most commonly brought up choices by Jen for replacing Daniele on the block are Nick and Joe. She still seems to want to keep Dick. Daniele had always been her target.
• Amber had a date with Mike. @@
• Amber to Mike that she was hooked on speed for over a year, quitting it only nine months ago. It's too bad that through most of their date she talked fast and non-stop almost as if she was still on it.
• Mike had to define the word "outskirts" (as in the outskirts of town) to Amber because "I hear it all the time and don't know what it means." Context baby, context.
• Kail doesn't do too well on slop. She's moodier. Of course, some of it could be because her alliance is crumbling.
• After the big date, Amber thinks Mike has a crush on her. @@
• Still a ton of anti-Zach talk going on from about everyone. About the only one who hasn't been in on the movement is Mike.
• Dick asked Daniele to get Jessica to support him. Daniele said she can influence anyone in the house except Kail, Mike, Zach, and Jen.
• Despite all of the anti-Zach talk, Jen seems to be deciding between putting Joe or Nick on the block. At the final call (could change), it sounds like she wants to put Joe on the block with her intent that Dick stays in the house.
• That would be fine by me. Go for it, Jenbootilicious.

Blog Announcement

If you're in the NYC vicinity, you're invited to join a few of us this coming weekend. For more details, drop me a note at the email listed on the right sidebar.

And, as a more serious note: I received an email directing me to a blog which has copied most of my most recent show East Coast Update. I won't post the blog's URL because I don't want it to have any more traffic. If you come across "that blog" - please report it. I work hard to create original content for this blog and think that plagiarists are low forms of humanity.

Feel free to link and quote from here, but do NOT post my work as your own, little jerk.

'Big Brother 8' - Strong Man Comp Video

This is just one event in the not officially sanctioned Big Brother Strong Man comp. It's probably one of the few videos which is nearly G-Rated! Fun, but it makes for no strategy or drama.

(Yes, this is my own YouTube video. Not necessarily a pro production!)

'Big Brother 8' - 7/15 Show - East Coast Update

Keep returning to this post as I'll be updating it throughout the show now that it has started here on the East Coast.

We're still in recap mode as the HG react to Jen winning HOH. They're pondering who she might put up.

Now they're talking about Jen talking about herself.

It's to Jen's HOH room. This should be Jentastic! Upset with her pictures, of course.

Joe tries to get her to put Dustin on the block.

Ah, they're talking about the Magnus and Cragnus Strong Man. (After the show I'll post a YouTube video I took of part of that competition.) This is cute. Zach and Dustin are teasing Mike and Nick as they lift weights.

To the big showmance between Nick and Daniele. The key to his heart he gave her is actually the key to his suitcase. Hmmm... no mention of his flirting with boys!

Kail and Jen talk strategy. Jen doesn't want to take out more girls because the guys have the power. Kail doesn't want Nick put up, suggests Jessica.

Food comp time. Two teams, the guys against Joe and the girls. "Name that Pie" - name the two ingredients within a specified amount of bites. Jameka thought she could name hers in five. Bacon and banana on first try. Mmm... salmon and blueberry sounds good to me! This is fun. Right now they're tied. Whoops, Daniele misnamed the last pie -- said it was pickle and tofu, it was actually pickle and clam. Blue team, the guys, win. Red team -- girls plus Joe are on slop for the week.

Eric, America's Player, is to target Jessica. (He did and he's still trying now even with POV, but he's not being successful.)

Now Jen is telling Nick that she may put up the people with negative effects on the house.

Here comes the Dick/Jen blowup. She walked into sleeping guys and just started blabbing to them. Dick is right -- no consideration. Jen looked rather maniacal at the end of the segment.

America's Player will develop sleepwalking. Whose bed should he sleepwalk into?

Jen is ready to choose her nminees and they're showing how worried the others are. Dick thinks he'll go up, but doesn't seem too worried. Jen thinks others will be happy with noms. Jessica's not worried at all.

Jen thinks her nominees will be more pleasant and lead better lives (once they are told by her how negative they are). Time for the ceremony. The negative people should go bit.

Key order: Jameka, Kail, Mike, Zach, Nick, Jessica, Amber, Dustin, Eric, Joe.

Nominees are Dick and Daniele, surprise surprise!

Both of you together cause negative atmosphere. Awkward. Happier place without negative vibes.

Nick thinks Jen is jeaous of Daniele. Dick won't campaign against Daniele - his goal is both of them remaining in the house.

Eric apologized for not securing a Jessica nomination. He said he'd continue if the veto is used. (I have noted in reports that he's been campaigning against Jessica, so he's trying.)

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds - Sunday, July 15, 2007

Graphics arteest Zoetawny has been at it again! But I have to admit... although the pitch of Jessica's voice drives me up the wall, she's a hoot to eavesdrop in on. Listening to her makes me feel oh-so-wise and intelligent.

Like Dick's wish to keep crazy people in the house, I prefer there be such shallow folks around in the world so that my own self esteem can go on a joyride.

What's been happening in that Big Brother House of Flying Monkey Boy and an Ambiguous Fellow?

• The POV Ceremony has not been held. The target to place on the block with Dick (assuming that Daniele will save herself which is almost a given) seems to rotate chiefly between being Joe or being Nick.
• Jen wants to put up Nick because that will affect Daniele more. It's always been Daniele she really wanted gone. And, she said before the POV comp that if someone uses it, she will target whomever the POV user was close to in the house.
• She thinks that Joe leaving will benefit everyone but herself.
• Eric campaigned Jen for a Nick gone if he goes up on the block with Dick.
• Eric thinks Nick alienated himself from his old alliance.
• Zach doesn't want Nick out. He'd prefer Jen put Joe on the block with Dick.
• Mike thinks Nick is a mole, but trusts him more than he does Dick. He thinks if Dick wins HOH, he'll put him (Mike) up for eviction.
• Nick told Mike that between Dick and Joe, he'd rather see Joe leave.
• Zach told Nick that Jen was going to put him on the block.
• Nick told Jen about what Zach said and told her if he went up against Dick, he (Nick) would end up going home. He also told her about the Mrs. Robinson alliance.
• Jen told Nick that if Joe went up, he'd go home. She also said the whole house wants Zach gone next week. (I thought they all wanted Joe gone this week? Work on that first, Jenthetic!)
• The boys played their Magnus Strong Man competition -- certainly not an official Big Brother comp!
• Mike warned Zach to cool it because others in the house think he's playing the game too hard and it could backfire on him.
• Mike and Zach came to the realization that others know about the Mrs. Robinson alliance. (Well, duh.)
• They want to pour water in the backyard spinning teacup to see if it really holds only nine gallons of water.

The show begins in about an hour here. I'll be posting an East Coast Update entry although we know from the feeds who won POV. Maybe they'll surprise us! Or not. ;-)

Pants Mania - This Week on 'The Late Show with David Letterman' - July 16-20, 2007

Even I need a respite from the Big Brother house, right?

Make mine pants!

Here are the guests we can expect to see this week on The Late Show with David Letterman:

• Monday, July 16: Michelle Pfeiffer promoting Hairspray, Jonah Hill talking about Superbad, Michele Lauziere (Master of the Unusual)
• Tuesday, July 17: Adam Sandler pimping I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry and musical guest Mute Math (CD is Mute Math).
• Wednesday, July 18: John Travolta (Hairspray), Paula Abdul promoting her new reality series (which I've managed to not see yet) Hey Paula, musical guest Teddy Thompson whose CD is Upfront and Down Low.
• Thursday, July 19: Kevin James (I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry), musical guest White Rabbits - CD is Fort Nightly.
• Friday, July 20: Julia Stiles of The Bourne Ultimatum and comedian Nick Griffith.

Yes, all fresh shows this week! Hairspray is getting a lot of hype. I think I'll have to go see it when it arrives at the theaters. I always like quirky John Waters things. I don't know how keen I am on a chubby female John Travolta, though. Vinnie Barbarino would take a bruising from the sweathogs on that!

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Video Bit - Late Night 7/14

In this video clip from the feeds that I uploaded to YouTube, Dick talks to a captive (chained) Amber and Kail. He discusses Jen and how she needs to change drastically to stay in the house. He tells them that Daniele and he won't be able to entirely solve their issues in the house, but he feels they've taken small steps.

Watching him, it's good strategy at work. It's a shame he decided to pitch the speech to the only player in the game who saw right through it. After he left the room, Kail told Amber how manipulative and intimidating Dick is. "He has to go."

This was late last night in the Big Brother House -- beware, the language gets a bit crude.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds From Saturday, July 14

Graphics artist Zoetawny makes her seasonal animated image debut with HOH HO Jen. Gee, there should be earrings which say Jen, too! Great job and she (Zoetawny, not Jen) rocks!

Here's the rundown of today's events in that Big Brother House of Jenitards and Plasma Slop Passes....er, something like that. Remember, there is more information in my TV Squad article linked in my previous post. (Somewhat akin to following the yellow brick road, eh?)

• Before the veto comp, Jen told the others she wanted the comp to be between Dick, Daniele, and herself. She didn't want them to play for the win. She told them that if someone removed either of them from the block, she'd put up someone close to them.
• The POV comp was Christmas-themed with rewards and punishments. (Naughty and nice?)
• As mentioned earlier, Daniele won POV. Dick won a plasma TV. Jen has to wear a red unitard. Joe has a slop pass for the week. Kail and Amber are chained together for 24 hours. (Amber chose Kail.) There was also a money prize.
• Jameka got a group step-dancing.
• Nick and Daniele cuddled and sweet-talked a lot. Too much. At times all four feeds were on them. @@
• Zach, the flying monkey boy for Jen, is pushing for Joe to be put in Daniele's place on the block.
• Jen thinks whoever she puts up would end up going home and Dick will stay. She told Zach she'd never put up Kail or Mike.
• according to a story he told the others, Dick has a marijuana arrest in his background. I haven't seen it on thesmokinggun.com, though.
• When Dick and Jen talked, she told him he wouldn't be going home. She also said it would have been stupid to not put him on the block. He told her she'd probably go home within a few weeks. She replied that if he had won HOH, he would have nominated her. She called him simplistic and one-dimensional. Oh, big words!
• Dick told Jen that her goofy shirts down't help her any. Heh.
• Jen said she's a WoW addict and doesn't go out at night. That's World of Warcraft, a game.
• Joe was Dustin's first boyfriend.
• There's a movement afoot to convince Jen to nominate Zach, her flying monkey boy. I personally don't think she will, but who knows? Maybe she realizes he's just clinging to her for life. Maybe she knows he's using her. But, then again, maybe he could be a vote for her to stay down the road.
• Dick told Nick that the threats he made to Jen weren't serious. They were just to rattle her. Then he said, "Even the voices in my head told me to tone it down." (See, he needs to stay!)

Lots of small talk, no explosions tonight.

'Big Brother 8' STUFF

A post is in the works which includes some cool new Zoetawny (she rocks) graphics, but I'd like to point you to my latest TV Squad article.

I also came across this interview with Carol posted over at EW.com.

An excerpt:

So how were you both cast? I'm guessing that two enemies didn't happen to both randomly decide to apply for Big Brother.
[She pauses, then quietly confers with a CBS publicist for a moment.] We all went through the whole casting process, but she was cast first and mentioned me, and that's how I kind of got pulled into it.

I think I'll be very concerned if the show ever contacts me. She said she had never seen an episode before she was being cast.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Quickie Update - POV

I apologize for getting this to you a bit late, but Daniele won the Veto again. Since she's Jen's target, this will upset a few plans to the Jenth degree. In addition to Jen, Daniele and Dick, it was Amber, Joe and Mike playing for the veto. Dick won a plasma television.

A full report will be filed later tonight!

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Overnight Into 7/14, Video, and Stuff!

"Good morning, houseguests. Stop singing, please."

My latest TV Squad article can be found right here. Eventually I'll put a link in my sidebar which will get you there easily. Of course, I already have the main site listed on the sidebar... I have for many months now.

This is video I took shortly after the feeds returned post nominations last night. Dick, Joe, and Jameka react to the nominations and Jameka gets a hairdryer. No, the incidents aren't really connected. BB apparently gave all of the houseguests items they had requested. Be warned - language is a bit rough. We're talking BB houseguests here, y'know.




In other late night dealings from that Big Brother House of Ne'er-do-wells:

• Daniele admitted to Nick that she's only 20 years old. They pinky-sweared that he wouldn't tell anyone.
• Dick gave shout-outs to his son, Vincent. It's his birthday.
• Jen claimed she nominated Dick and Daniele because "their vibe is bringing the house down." (I say she wants to get rid of Daniele because she's jealous... or, just as Dick says in the video above -- she wants to be the "hott girl" in the house. Alas, I think of the two, Daniele would have the votes to stay. I like Daniele, but I like watching Dick more. He's more interesting on the feeds.)
• Nick said he's kissed guys before. (Slowly emerging from that closet, eh?)
• Jen said Jameka's key was pulled first because she planned on using most of the money won to help others.
• Dick vows a week of revenge against Jen. He also said he'll give Joe the rest of his cigarettes if he leaves. He also flipped off Jen during the Nominations Ceremony. Jen is very upset about that. We'll probably see a blurred hand on the show.
• Nick said if he got POV, he wouldn't use it to save either Daniele or Dick. He told Dick his vote would have to be to save Daniele. Dick understands.
• Joe tried to defend Dick to Jen mentioning his constant cooking and cleaning for the house. She said it didn't matter. He was negative and bad vibes.
• The HG were told there would be a 7 AM wake-up call on Saturday. No one knows why. They're speculating luxury comp. They still think POV will be held on Sunday.
• Zach thinks "a ton of hot chicks" will want him after the show. @@ (Who wants a flying monkey boy?)
• Amber is torn over how she'll vote. She said her heart is with Daniele, but her head says Dick because she honestly likes him. She thinks he likes and cares about her.
• Zach and Mike want Daniele gone. They'd rather have Dick on the jury because they think he'll be more fair.
• Nick told Daniele about the Mrs. Robinson alliance. He thinks Kail, Mike or Zach need to be put on the block next week to break up the alliance. He was very truthful in telling her all about it. (Heh, so much for that alliance, eh?)
• In Kail scheming, she wants to make a deal with Dick and is calling him Mr. Robertson as a code name. Wha...?
• Mike eavesdropped as Eric and Jessica were talking about how nasty Zach is and a bit of strategy. Mike is sneaking around spying on a lot of the others. Uh-oh! But he's noticed, too. That won't bode so well.
• As I write this, all are sleeping. But the expected 7 AM wake-up call didn't keep most from staying up half the night.
