'Big Brother 8' - Sunday 8/05 Live Feeds and Video!

There are rumors abounding that this week will be a double eviction. Of course, the houseguests would have no clue, so any mention they would have would be speculation, not fact. I haven't found any concrete source other than folks posting it, but it could very well be true -- we are due for a double eviction. However, that wouldn't mean two houseguests going home on Thursday. How they usually handle it is the new HOH on the Thursday live show has to name two nominees on the spot, then there is a second eviction on a live show on Sunday. If anyone has a verifiable official source for the rumor -- not just folks on the Internet saying it is -- please let me know!

In other news, I've been messing with video. Those who are outraged about the show wasting water will have more anmunition with this!



Part two of that video can be found at this link. I also have a longer take on the late night Dustin/Kail talk in the storage room posted.

In other happenings from inside that Big Brother House of Repulsive Rabbits:

• It's still very iffy who will vote for whom and Daniele hasn't really told anyone who she'll put on the block in place of Jen.
• Zach has been trying to worm his way in with Jen, Dick, and Daniele.
• Kail is still torn between two lovers... er, alliances. Neither really wants her, but Dustin has been working on her most likely for his own personal gain of an ally.
• It still stands that if Kail and Zach are on the block, it would probably be Zach going home.
• It also still stands if Kail and Eric are on the block, it could go either way.
• Dustin, similar to when he was HOH, has delusions of grandeur. Make him stop.
• Dick is still trying to intimidate people. Make him stop.
• The alarms have been going off hourly and the Bunny People plus Jameka have dumped the goo, then wasted the water each time.
• Daniele said her rent is $1400 a month for a one bedroom. I don't think the stipend could work as regular pay for her although many have said it's more than they earn weekly -- $750 a week.
• Daniele said she hates the "Internet people." She can't mean me! No! I have to go pull an Amber now!
• There hasn't been a ton of game talk today due to the hourly alarms and the time it takes for them to get through the drill.
• Dick told Jameka that Eric is playing all sides. Well, yes he is. So are a lot of folks. I'd love it if someone called Dick out for changing his mind so often! Evel Waffle!
• Dustin again told Kail that if she goes up against Eric, his group is solid... she will go home. He wants to push for a Zach nomination.
• Dustin also said that if one of "his group" gets HOH, it's to be Daniele and Dick on the block (presumably with Dick as the target).
• Kail thinks that Jessica is the one who may not vote with Dustin's group.
• Jen told Dustin that Eric "probably" gives her information on how the votes should go. She then said it was Nick and Eric telling her.
• Then she recanted and said Eric only gave her information the week Joe went home.
• Amber cried.
• Daniele and Dick kept working on Jameka to convince her that "everyone" is on board with Eric needing to go home.

That's basically where we stand right now as I post this. I'll be returning later tonight to live-blog the show as it airs here on the East Coast. I invite y'all to join me in the comments!

'Big Brother 8' New Latest on TV Squad!

My latest entry is up on TV Squad. It includes some live feeds news, a short video and some screen caps you won't see here. A bit later I'll be posting some video clips for here and catch you all up on the latest!

I'm getting very dizzy.

'Big Brother 8 - Live Feeds Report - Saturday, Aug. 4

Just a couple of bunnies hanging out in the kitchen, eh? Today's been quite a day in the Big Brother house. For more detail on the POV comp, check out my previous post. This one will cover the rest of the day and other odd POV tidbits which have been being discussed by the houseguests.

Here's today's report from the Big Bunny House:

• Eric and Jessica were up until nearly 5:30. BB woke everyone up at around 9 AM. It would be nice if they got a clue, huh?
• Keep in mind this happened before the POV comp -- Dustin told Jessica and Amber that he told Kail not to trust Daniele and Dick. They then discussed the POV options to protect both Eric and Dustin as they feel they're in danger of being backdoored.
• Kail told Jen that Dustin told her not to trust them. She wanted to tell Daniele, but Jen told her not to.
• Dick told Jessica that now Kail should be the one to go home if the nominations remain the same. She said okay. He also said someone kept leaking info to Kail. (Duh, Dick. Dustin!)
• Dick accused Zach of doing something or saying something to Kail and Zach got upset with him.
• Pre-POV, Dick was on a real anti-Kail kick. It might have something to do with Jen mending fences with Daniele. Or, as it was brought out much later by Jen -- the DR talked to Dick about his actions and behavior towards her.
• Dick accused Kail of throwing Jen under the bus. Um, okay. The guy has a screw loose. He must.
• Dick had beer before 11 AM. The breakfast of champions!
• Eric asked Jameka if he goes on the block, does he have her word that she, Jessica, Dustin, and Amber have his back? She said he has her word, but I don't know how she can promise for the rest of them.
• Dick tried to intimidate Kail and Jen before the veto comp.
• Pre-veto, Dick and Daniele talked. They decided they want to get Kail out of the house because they think Dustin, Amber, and Eric are working with her.
• Daniele doesn't think they can trust Jen, but may be able to use her to their advantage.
• Dick threw some of Jen's stuff over the wall in the backyard. For revenge, she threw his cigarettes in the pool. Not all of them, but...!
• The POV took place. I made an error in my post about it (which I'll fix), but Jameka did NOT take the 10,000. That's not why she was crying. She was crying because she gave up the chance at HOH for five weeks and won't hear from her family or get photos. No one took the ten grand.
• And, in the POV, Jen stands to lose half of everything she may win in the game. So, if she takes first place, it's cut in half.
• The Bunny People have to only slop their group, not innocent bystanders.
• Dustin was out early in the POV comp.
• The hourly wake-up/slop heads only lasts 24 hours; the Bunny People wear the costume until the live show.
• The consensus amongst the POV players is that it was the most brutal POV comp in all the seasons of the show.
• Daniele thinks Jen just wants 15 minutes of fame, doesn't care about the money and doesn't want to be in sequester for the jury. She thinks she may use the POV to save Kail. If she does, it will be Jen going home.
• Dick and Daniele are worried that they won't have enough votes to evict Eric if he's up against Kail.
• Dick thinks Eric flipped out too much over the HOH comp banner plane -- by denying he's a liar. (What about Amber who cried and cried that she's not a liar? Are they so immune to her crying that they didn't see she freaked out, too?)
• Dustin told Eric and Amber that Dick already threw them both under the bus -- Eric's the leak and Amber's the one who pushed for Nick to go.
• Dick, Daniele, and Jessica don't think Jen lies. (Yeah, right.)
• Daniele and Dick want to "expose" Eric. (Do they think they're living in a vacuum?)
• Kail asked Eric why Dustin didn't put Dick up if he was such a threat. Eric told her that Nick was more of a threat with more connections in the house.
• Eric told Kail that if Daniele puts up anyone other than Zach in Jen's place, she's probably going home.
• Jen told Daniele that she knows Mike Boogie, but she doesn't like him. (Yeah, right!)
• Both Jessica and Jameka seem to be leaning in favor of anyone other than Daniele and Dick although they haven't blown any cover with them.
• Jen told Dick that it was she who was getting the information from the LNC (last time -- Late Night Crew) and leaking it to Kail.
• Dick and Jen sort of called a truce. He wouldn't yell at her anymore.
• Dick yelled at Jen.
• Dick wants everyone to call out Eric at once. Um... odd.
• Jessica and Jameka once again told Eric not to worry -- that he has the votes to stay.
• Then it seems Jessica changed her mind while talking to Jen ... or was saying that Eric played her for the benefit of Dick and Daniele. (Everybody's story changes dependent on to whom they're talking.)

Argh. This is all so confusing! I honestly feel that more people really don't care for Dick, but accept Daniele. I don't know for sure if the Eric, Dustin, Amber, Jessica, Jameka block is really falling apart or whether they're just telling people what they want to hear. I really think that if Eric is on the block with Kail, it would be Kail going home. But I'm not certain. Argh. At least Zoetawny is flying a banner for Eric!

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds POV Competition Update

Jen won POV (sigh). It sounds like an interesting comp (which was blocked to the feeds, of course).

Here are other POV comp happenings they talked about:

• There are bunny suits involved.
• Jameka prayed and asked for forgiveness from God while crying.
• She feels that way because she sold out - she gave up her chance to compete in HOH comps for five weeks and won't get letters or photos from home as a result.
  
• Kail is on slop -- will be for the remainder of the game.
  
• Kail, Jen, Zach and Daniele had on bunny suits which they must wear for a week. (Better than Zach in a unitard!)
• Jameka and Kail can't compete for HOH for either 4 or 5 weeks.
• Kail wants Jen to tell Daniele to put Dick up or she's going home.
• Eric is freaking out because he knows they plan on backdooring him.
• Dick is still at Daniele to put Eric on the block in Jen's place.
• Daniele says that Jen has to use the veto, Eric will go up and then the alliance would have to choose between evicting Kail or Eric.
• Jen supposedly gave up some prize money to win the veto.
• Daniele is worried that Jen will save Kail with the veto, then she (Jen) will go home. (I don't think Jen is that dumb. She'll save herself.)
• The Bunny People have to dump "manure" on peoples' heads every hour tonight

That covers the POV -- more details on the day itself and stray POV stuff will be posted a bit later tonight!

Latest up on TV Squad

Yes, once again...! My latest update can be read on TV Squad! The more the merrier!

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds - Into Saturday Morning 8/04

Daniele hung in there for the HOH comp, but how will she handle her week in power?

So far, it seems that she'll be doing it with no real imagination. Her nominees are the same two who have been up the last two weeks, only the backdoor plan is different.

After the nominations ceremony, both Kail and Jen were taking it all too well. It's like a joke to the both of them now. Jen had even asked Daniele to put her on the block so she could go for a record.

Here are the other events through the evening hours and into the morn from that Big Brother House o' Bobbin' Betrayals:

• In small talk, the HG confirmed the stipend went back down to pre-All Stars levels. They're receiving the standard $750 a week for time spent in the house and in sequester. (All Stars got $2500 a week if memory serves.)
• Daniele talked with Jen -- told her that she might consider Kail her friend, but she can't trust her. She will "throw you under the bus" if she can.
• Jen again said what a great team they (her and Daniele) could make if they work together.
• Daniele told Jen that she would need to win the veto for herself as Kail is telling others not to use it.
• Eric told Dustin that Dick and Daniele were planning to backdoor "one of us."
• Amber voiced her doubts about a backdoor plan to Eric and he told her not to say a word about it to Daniele or Dick.
• Eric told Jameka that Dick and Daniele plan to backdoor either him or Dustin as revenge for Nick being voted out.
• Kail thinks both the mustard and the odd votes were Eric as he keeps saying he does his own thing. Earlier, Daniele told Kail that she knew the mustard and odd votes were done by the same person, but didn't specify by name.
• Kail thinks it was Eric doing the deeds, but Jen thinks it was Amber.
• Jen and Kail don't want Jameka or Zach to win veto as they'll let the noms remain the same.
• While the LNC is debating the value of taking Jen and Kail into their group, Jen and Kail are talking about allying with Daniele and Dick to take down the LNC.
• Kail and Jen are sure Dustin is working for Dick.
• Dustin, on the other hand, told Amber that Dick and Daniele want either him or Eric to go home this week via backdoor. He thinks that if Kail wins veto, she'll save Jen because she feels safe. He doesn't want either Jen or Kail to win POV because the noms have to remain the same.
• He also thinks there wouldn't be enough votes to get either himself or Eric evicted.
• On the Dick/Daniele side of life -- the plan is to save Jen and backdoor Eric. They'll work on everybody in the house to get it done. (Eeek, Eric!)
• Dick wants Daniele to get in good with Jessica for their cause.
• BB actually announced a lights out time for 2 AM ... not that it means anything, mind you. I always think the HG are night owls, but this crowd is really bad -- usually more than a few stay up past the time of sunrise there.
• Eric defended himself to Jessica. She questioned him about wanting Nick out. He said he always wanted him out and was very vocal about it.
• Eric is trying to get buzz going about putting Daniele and Dick on the block next week.
• Dustin reminded the LNC remainders that they were all in the room when Dick brought up getting Nick out in the first place -- now for him to blame them for losing Nick...!
• Jessica thinks that Daniele and Dick think the only way to get one of them out (LNC) is to backdoor them, but they also think there would be enough votes to save Kail against one of them. They could be very wrong.
• Jessica wants to get HOH and also wants the LNC to know she's not getting in an alliance with "them."
• Eric thinks Daniele is the sneakiest person in the house. (I think he is!)
• Amber and Eric stayed up talking about the events of the day.
• Players were picked for POV early once again. In addition to Daniele, Jen, and Kail, there will be Zach, Jameka, and Dustin playing. Jameka is playing for Kail as per the pick, but hasn't said she would use it.
  

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Bulletin - Nominations are In 8/03

Second verse, same as the first...

Daniele nominated Kail and Jen. It's the third week on the block for these two.

'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! :-)

'Big Brother 8' - TV Squad

It's not up as I post this, but I have a new feeds entry on TV Squad in the publishing queue. You can find it using this link when it goes online.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Report - Into Friday Morning 8/03

Whoa! Lotsa news! Get yer updates!

In the HOH comp last night, after it was down to Kail, Jen, and Daniele apparently Jen was disqualified leaving it between Kail and Daniele. Daniele said she would be there all night and offered Kail a deal -- she might have to put her on the block, but she won't go home.

Kail took the deal and Daniele is the new HOH.

But that's only a part of the news. When the feeds were blocked for so long, what actually happened was that a banner plane flew above. The banner flown said that "Eric and Amber are liars."

Here's what transpired after the comp in that Big Brother House of Ill Winds:

• Amber cried.
• Dick thinks there's a leak in the group because Kail knew she wasn't leaving this week. (Um... Dustin!)
• Daniele told Jameka she didn't vote for Nick to stay. If it wasn't Jen, it was someone in their own group.
• Jameka was very upset about Nick going home and felt it was her fault. Daniele told her it was Dustin's fault.
• Daniele said everyone knows they evicted the wrong person. She had tried to save him.
• Jessica admitted that she threw the comp, but didn't think she could last as long as the other three did anyway.
• Amber cried. "The people who flew the banner are trying to make me and Eric look bad because we're so honest!"
• Apparently, not all read the banner. Jen, Eric and Dustin were talking. Jen said it wasn't fair that some know and some don't.
• Jen said that she got down (feeds blocked) while the producers reviewed the tapes to disqualify her.
• Daniele got her HOH room and dedicated it to Nick. She was happy with her basket of goodies and letters from home. Yes, she got a letter from and pictures of Kris (the boyfriend).
• Evel lingered in the HOH room after the others left. Daniele told him that she thinks Eric was responsible for the odd votes.
• Dick and Daniele hugged and told each other that they love each other. Touching, indeed.
• Daniele has been getting closer to Jessica, she told her father. Both think Eric is "sketchy."
• Eric tried to cover with Dick claiming he couldn't be the votes because he was the most vocal against them. He wants to let the conspiracy issues (raised by the plane) stay aside and focus on the game.
• Amber and Eric talked more about the banner plane. It said that the LNC is the Nerd Herd (see season 6), Nick is loved, Eric and Amber lie.
• When Kail and Jen talked about the banner, Kail thought it had said Eric and Daniele are liars.
• Eric's really trying to backpedal. He's nervous and jumpy again.
• Eric said the DR apologized to him about the incident, but it does no good.
• Dick is sure that Eric was the odd vote and responsible for both Jen and Kail remaining in the house. (Now, mind you... the odd votes cast didn't affect who went home. Dick is just freaking out.)
• The alliances have changed. Now Dick, Daniele, Jessica and Zach are aligned. %$# the LNC says Dick.
• Daniele and Dick are convinced that Eric has been in an alliance since week one with Kail and Jen.
• Eric is still denying he was the odd vote.
• Jessica said Jen told her that the DR told her there's to be a luxury comp tomorrow (today). Dick is suspicious because the DR told her and no one else.
• Jessica talked to Dustin, didn't tell him the talk with Daniele and Dick, but said she thought Eric was the leak.
• Eric is crumbling away minute by minute.
• Amber cried.
• Dustin assured Amber that he trusts her and Eric the most -- "Eric doesn't have it in him to lie."
• Amber cried.
• Amber told Dustin that Eric hates Dick and wants him to go home.
• Eric is still trying to get back in with Dick and party -- saying that they have to take out Dustin, Amber and Jameka.
• The tide seems to be turning with Evel and party -- it's swinging to Kail being the target. This is dizzying!
• Dick wants Dustin to watch to see who talks to Jen or Kail.

Oh, my. What a night!

UPDATE: Jessica told Eric that the DR tried to convince her he had no part in the odd votes.

'Big Brother 8' - NEW HOH!

Daniele won! She made a deal to not send Kail home.

'Big Brother 8' - 8/02 Endurance HOH Comp Update

This is a quad cam screen cap taken a few minutes ago. Right now it's still Daniele, Kail, and Jen hanging in there. Jameka is encouraging Kail, but then cheers them all.

Dick and Jen got into it again and Eric blew up at Jen -- told her if she had a problem with Dick, take it up with Dick and stop being rude to Daniele.

BB is intermittently tossing the goop on them.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds - HOH Comp 8/02

Jessica is now out. Jen, Kail, and Daniele are hanging in.

Eric was apparently disqualified because his head was above the crossbar (earlier when we were blocked). Eric and Dick are trying to call Kail out for the same thing. We got blocked. But Jen is still hanging in there, as is Kail and Daniele. My feeds are really acting up and freezing.

'Big Brother 8' - HOH Endurance Comp - Feeds Back

Jen and Kail are still in, as is Daniele. Jessica is still in it, too. It sounds like none of the guys are and I only see the girls.

Dick is heckling Jen and Kail while encouraging Jessica and Daniele. Jameka is out of it, too.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds - HOH Endurance Comp Update 8/02

The feeds are still blocked, which is very unusual. Jokers Updates is reporting that they contacted the producers and there have been technical difficulties. Once they fix them, the feeds should resume and I'll be posting updates.

I thought the pendulums were a bit jerky.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds - HOH Endurance Comp

As I post this, the feeds are still blocked with trivia and theme music. When they come back on, I'll post an update. From that point on, I'll post a quick update if someone is out or something odd happens. If there is no news, I'll post that information on the hour.

Stay tuned!

'So You Think You Can Dance' - Live Results Show - 8/02 East Coast Updates

The show has started here on the East Coast. I'll be doing quick updates on important happenings as they air.

'Big Brother 8' - 8/02 Live Show Live Blogged from the East Coast

The show has started here on the East Coast. I'll be updating this entry throughout the show as it airs. Forgive any typos or misspellings, I'm human!

Cool Zoetawny graphic, eh? So far there has been a recap and Amber is crying. Dustin tells Kail she's apawn and he has more than four people supporting him. Nick is pretty sure he's going to go. I wish they'd get off the recapping! Nick is talking to Dick and Eric about the nomination and Zach interrupted. Amber is crying. She denies knowing he would be put on the block. Sniffle, sniffle, wah, wah. Daniele admits to him that she knew, but couldn't figure out how to tell him. He's mad. But at least she was honest. Now it's to the confrontation with Dustin. It's toned down and they didn't show the cussing he did. Dick confronts Jen about his idea that she forced Jameka to use the veto. She's holding her own. Daniele is talking to Eric when Jen comes in and says nasty things about Daniele's father. Daniele is very uncomfortable with that. They showed Nick shaving his own hair, but Dustin did it! I know he did. Tea scene! Notice Amber just stands there all through it. They're doing the nominee thoughts from the Diary Room. Amber cries. Nick is trying to go for the Trust Card. He thinks he may be able to garner enough votes as he talks to Amber. I can't believe they don't show Dustin curring Nick's hair, but show him cutting Eric's! I have SCREEN CAPS! Why would they edit that out? America's Player is a dissapointment to Eric -- America voted for Kail to go. He wants Nick out and knows the house does, too. We've put him in a spot. He's doing his best and does his Pros of Kail Leaving Talk to the LNC. Dick and Daniele seem to be hedging on the take Nick out vote. It's into the living room. They did indeed all say HI, Babe to Julie as Jameka suggested. Julie didn't even notice. Julie asked Jen about the glass of tea. She said "whatever." She's not surprised at anything. Jameka doesn't know why God chose her to be in the house. More pre-vote DR talks. Very odd -- Jameka said she wanted to keep Kail because she keeps the dishes all in place. What a reason! Dustin is doing his HOH talk with Julie -- he has some regrets about the position Jameka is in, but will be happy to go to Barbados with his girlfriend. Girlfriend, eh? He says Dic goes a bit too far, but he took all of the heat off of him this week. The vote is coming soon -- Kail pleads her case -- appreciates friendships and looks forward to more good times? Nick says he knows the votes are set in stone already, and that he's smitten with Daniele. Aw. The votes are-- Jen votes to evict Nick. Zach votes to evict Kail. Jameka votes to evict Nick. Commercial break. Eric's turn. He tells us he started again on Kail and he does want Kail and Jen out of the house. Jessica votes to evict Nick. Amber votes to evict Nick... holds back tears. Dick votes to evict Nick, regrettably. Daniele votes to evict Nick looking very uncomfortable. Julie is revealing the vote -- apparently BB talked Kail out of the BB house. By a vote of 6 to 2, Nick is voted out. Amber cries. Daniele consoles her. Wow, the volume went low for Julie's interview. She's asking him about the spare vote he was blamed for. Eric is shown admitting it and the America's Player twist. He shows the mustarding. Nick thinks it's funny. The goodbye messages are on... nice so far. Amber cries. Daniele tells him how much he means to her. Ohh... a shot of twisted cat clocks on pedestals in the backyard. It seems it could be an endurance comp! Time for the live HOH comp -- to the backyard! "Time's Up" -- each HG has to climb onto a clock pendulum and sit there. Fall off and you're eliminated. The pendulums are being raised. The pendulums are moving back and forth. Eric's next America's Player assignment Which houseguest should Eric get nominated. It's a night of surprises, Julie says. Another one is coming up. Now they have to hang like bats upside down -- they do have some kind of strap to help them. They have fake crows above them pooping what looks like soap suds. Once the feeds return, I'll be posting reports when folks drop out or, if nothing occurs, I'll post a report on the hour to let you know.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds/TV Squad

I have an article on the breaking news of a possible DOR (Demand of Release) by Kail over on TV Squad. Since I last wrote, we've been blocked.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds - The Day So Far - Thursday, 8/02

<--- Amber stares at the ceiling (and the rest of the day has been only a tad more exciting!) Since it's the live show tonight, it's a traditional day of primping and cleaning. But, with this season having live votes on the show rather than voting taped on Wednesday, there's also some last minute scheming and happenings which might affect the vote. Here are the day's events so far from inside the Big Brother House of Wayward Children:

• BB woke them up early. Well, early for them -- before 10 AM their time. Then BB stuck them all in the HOH room for a lockdown.
• Once released from the HOH lockdown, the house itself lockdown is still in effect from last night as the staff prepares the yard for the HOH comp. Dick seriously has to be wanting a cigarette!
• The nominees both had to pack.
• Dick told Dustin that Kail is too comfortable and knows she's the pawn. He speculated on the leak -- thinking it was Jameka or Amber - the God Squad. Little does he know that Dustin himself told her she was a pawn since before the nomination!
• Amber is mad because she thinks that she, Jameka and Dick are the only ones who clean the house. (Well, had they kept Mike last week...!)
• Eric thanked people for cleaning.
• Amber lit into Kail about not doing her share of the housecleaning. She really let her have it and didn't cry, either!
• Kail, all upset, went to Jen and said she wanted to go home. She said she's going home in two weeks anyway, so what does it matter.
• Jen again told her she left a horrible goodbye message.
  
• Jen said she doesn't clean, she organizes. Dick said all she does is color-code the plates.
• Dick went on an anti-Jen tirade to her once again. She gave him no satisfaction. His language is too much when he does that. I think I myself would punch him in the nose. I do admire her restraint.
• Amber told everyone about her blow-up with Kail and how she was fine with her until she got nasty about her.
• There seemed to be a slip of the Diary Room while the blue vortex of water was on... we had audio for a bit with a strange male voice asking Kail why she wants to go home. She said pretty much the same thing as she said to Jen and added that she didn't expect to be cussed at all the time.

Hmm... I still think the house will go with a Nick vote, but it may change if Kail actively seeks people to vote her out. She seems very unhappy about being there and may truly want to leave.

Just an update -- I don't know for sure if her DOR (Demand of Release) was accepted or not. Since she got out of the DR, she's talked to no one -- not even Jen. Then we went to blocked feeds. If she gets it, it will change the course of tonight's show and make history.
