I'm Jackie and I watch TV. I'm not proud. Bookmark the blog now as your source for live feed reports from inside the 'Big Brother' house! Come, join in on the fun ...
Due to football preempting the show until 1:37 AM here in the NYC area, it's YOUR turn to live-blog the live show!
Yes, I mean YOU!
If the show is airing in your area at a reasonable hour, any time zone, I ask that you please jump in down in the comments area with a brief about what's happening. Spelling and grammar aren't important! It doesn't matter if you've been posting comments here before or it's your first time.
Any contributions, whether as it airs or during commercials are welcome! Alas, the website running the east coast show feed is also knocked out due to football.
So we need you! And, but of course, we'd greatly appreciate your contributions in the comments.
You may want to remember this picture. I don't think we'll see another smile out of Amber, unless it's one with tears rolling down her cheeks.
Here's the skinny from that Big Brother House of Various Visions and Sobering Realities:
What Dick was doing this morning that I couldn't quite figure out was decorating the statues with household items. Um, okay. As I said, the houseguests need a crafts project ... something!
Still in the early morning hours -- Dick, Jessica, and Eric were laughing about Zach stealing a plate and cup, putting them in his suitcase. They said he wanted a painting and the dolphin faucet from the bathroom.
Jessica is worried that if Amber goes home and Zach wins HOH, he'll put her (Jessica) on the block.
Eric tried to tell her that Amber would do the same thing. (I actually don't think she would. I think she'd put up Eric and Dick or Daniele, try to backdoor one of them with the POV if used.)
More talk about Eric moving to Kansas after the show. Jessica said he'd be her boyfriend there.
Jessica said she only sees her brother, the one fighting in Iraq, every three months or so. He's only 20 years old.
They talked about their future wedding... again.
Ohhh, they smooched. They really smooched!
The wake up song, appropriately, was "Love Shack." The first few bars of it came through the feeds before it was blocked.
The BB voice had to yell at them to clean the house.
Dick accused Zach of throwing him (and everyone) under the bus.
Jessica and Eric were absent when it came to housecleaning duties. Jessica wasn't even moved out of the HOH room when she was supposed to be.
Amber cried.
it seems that Jessica told Amber she'd be going. She said to a teary-eyed Amber, "I did everything I could, but it didn't do any good." I don't think she was talking the washing machine.
Amber told Jessica that she talked to Daniele and it seemed to go well, but Daniele didn't commit to anything.
Zach told Jessica whether he stays or not is up to them. If he goes, he goes. If he stays, he stays.
Zach didn't cry.
As a last feeds gesture, Amber first had er, um, a wardrobe malfunction and flashed her breasts... twice. Oh, my, then a full frontal. So sad!
Everything's at trivia and theme music now, has been for a while.
I won't be able to live blog tonight's live eviction show because I'm boycotting it as it seems my favorite Big Brother houseguest in the history of time, Amber, will be voted out. I don't know if my heart can take the stress. So, I apologize to those who expect me to blog the show as it airs. I can't type with tears in my eyes and a heavy weight in my heart! I just can't do it!
Ahem.
I won't be blogging the show because it's not airing here until 1:37 AM due to STUPID football! Argh! Of course, I'll know from when the feeds return who went (and most likely know now). The site which airs the east coast feed of the show is also boycotting due to Amber's impending eviction ... er, football.
But, what I will do is open a show post inviting anyone who's seeing the show at a human hour to jump in the comments section to share the skinny! This could be fun!
Daniele looks sad, doesn't she? I don't know how well she's handling the pressure and she's neither on the block, nor in the position of nominating anyone. And, the stipend is surely more than her pay at Hooters.
Here are the late night and overnight events from that Big Brother House of War and Worship:
Daniele made cookies. She likes to make cookies.
Daniele wanted to be called into the DR so she could make fun of Zach. I think she'd like both of the nominees to leave this week, and her father, too!
An interesting thing to note -- production has forbidden them to wear all white on the show.
Daniele complained to Amber and Jameka that she was trying to make cookies and the two most annoying people in the house were bothering her. Who? Zach and Evel Dick.
Now Amber thinks her vision meant that she would win something when she came out of the house. @@
Amber doesn't know what a dildo is. I hope she doesn't feel the need to scrutinize one on the show.
Jameka tried telling Amber that she should wear something nice for the live show and not her standard "wife-beater" t-shirt.
Amber packed, Zach blew up a rubber glove like Howie Mandel's old comedy act.
Daniele, despite her hatred of Zach and everything and everyone, cracked up at Zach's inflated glove antics.
Evel Dick accidentally put an end to it by hitting it and popping it. Aw.
After a six-hour lockdown, they went out to tarps covering a stage or something similar.
When accused of farting by Jameka, Amber swore on her daughter that she didn't. Jameka told her that wasn't necessary.
Most went to bed, Eric went to the DR.
Daniele moped about and cleaned a bit in the kitchen.
When Dick got back up, looks were glared and Daniele went back to bed.
Eric came out of the DR, passed a few words with Dick and headed to the kitchen.
Dick gave a Dick Show. Not that, minds out of the gutter! His talk show to the Internet. He told us it's hard with Daniele and he wants to say goodbye to Amber, it's long overdue.
It's fairly quiet now, Dick is on a few feeds, but I don't see Eric. Dick is up to something, but I can't figure it out. He's folding paper towels and putting them about the living room.
Eric and Jessica are small-talking in the HOH room. Eric says Amber doesn't talk to anyone, packs and cries. Jessica wonders what she'll do as she goes out the door.
The vote seems overwhelmingly an Amber ouster with Jameka the only vote to keep her.
Eric says he'll tell her before the show like he promised.
Oh, it doesn't look like the smear campaign against Eric by Jameka and Amber has had much effect on the winsome twosome, huh? It hasn't. I really think there's something to the friendship. Will the romance survive after the season ends? I think not so much, but I think they'll be friends.
I have an update up and about on TV Squad, check it out if you'd be so kind!
In other house doings into the evening:
They had fun with the HOH camera. That's always a highlight. BB really should give them some sort of arts and crafts, a Twister game, something!
It was very hot today and most of the suntanning crew is long gone -- Dustin and all. So they hid inside and napped a lot.
Amber thanked God for telling the DR people to tell her to fight to stay. (I don't think she realizes they tell every nominee that, especially the ones who seem down about the nomination.)
But Amber thinks God told them because she's a good person playing an honest game.
Eric studied things for a memory comp if one comes up. At different times he was joined by Jameka and Jessica.
Eric asked Zach if he would let Jessica know that he (Zach) isn't mad at her over the nominations. He's worried that she's upset about nominating him.
Eric told Zach that people are saying things to Jessica to hurt her feelings. Zach told him that he doesn't think Eric is just using her.
BB sprang for a huge feast for them tonight -- steak, lobster, and more. It's almost as if they had made a last meal request to the warden. Everything you could imagine!
They laughed at Amber for not knowing what "scrutinize" means.
Amber again thinks she'll get a modeling gig from the show.
We STILL have no meeting of the minds on the vote! Argh.
But we do have graphic artist Zoetawny's take on Amber being on America's Next Top Model!
Amber and Jameka talk game. For Amber it might be too little too late, but the majority vote seems still up in the air in the house ... at this moment.
Since I last reported the "big news" -- Eric telling Jessica he did the Jen shirt mustarding and the odd votes, but not mentioning America's Player -- earlier today, not a lot has happened. Jessica is listening to her music, Jameka is repeatedly "Mmmm-mmm--mmm." Jessica should get the camera and write her HOH entry for the CBS website today.
Dick got up earlier than the rest, farting and burping while complaining about Daniele to us. He returned to bed.
Zach danced a dance for the amusement of Jessica and others -- his petting the cat dance.
Amber is miserable and whispering at Jameka. It's very hard to pick up what she's saying but it sounds like she spits when she whispers.
The TMZ spoilers was indeed a hoax post, but had some spot on. AOL has an article up on the real cast for the upcoming season.
Here's who you can expect to watch: Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown, Marie Osmond, Jane Seymour, model Albert Reed, pro boxer Floyd "Pretty Boy" Mayweather, Jr., Cameron Mathison from All My Children, Internet wealth tycoon Mark Cuban, actress Jennie Garth, model Josie Maran, racecar driver Helio Castrovneves, and actress-singer Sabrina Bryan.
I don't know half of these people. Your thoughts?
UPDATE -- ABC has updated their site and lists Wayne Newton there, so he's indeed in on the season.
Eww! Eww! Amber has her nasty socked-feet on the table as she talks to Daniele in the approaching dawn hours at the house. I most definitely hope she plans to scrub that table down and disinfect it. Eww. People eat food on that table! If she wants to lounge, why not go to a couch?
Here are the late night/overnight happenings from that Big Brother House of Society's Ills:
In one of the only conversations I've seen of the type, Jessica and Eric discussed how hard it must be for Jameka to be the only black person in the house. They both give her a lot of credit for handling things so well.
Daniele drank orange juice that had gone bad. They also found that a container of mustard they had in the refrigerator has an expiration date of April 2007 -- long before they entered the house.
The bats in the backyard put on quite a show for the houseguests. I could even hear them on the feeds. I know I may be in a minority, but I think bats are neat little animals ... as long as they're outside, not inside!
Dick had another tiff with Daniele over her snotty responses whenever he said anything -- all day and in front of others.
"Well, don't hang out near me!" she snapped.
Amber offered Dick a hug, but he said he preferred a Xanax.
Amber thinks they might keep her in the house because she offers good advice all the time. @@
When Amber and Jameka asked Jessica how Eric is voting, she said she wasn't sure but didn't think Amber was his target.
Jessica told Jameka and Amber that she's been mad at Eric for the past few days because she thinks she made an error in the nominations. Whether she's just saying that to secure their jury votes down the line or not, I don't know. She has been having some second thoughts about the votes, but Jessica and Eric are as thick as thieves. I think she will choose to try for the final two with him more than either of them.
Amber thinks that Daniele and Dick want to keep Zach because he'll promise them anything.
Amber said that Eric and Jessica's deal with Dick and Daniele is up this week because they didn't put them on the block. She also said that if she wasn't in on the deal, Eric was the culprit. (Well, she didn't say culprit -- she probably doesn't know the word.) She thinks that Eric lied over the deal. It shows that she's grasping straws about the deal because in actuality, it's a final four deal.
Jessica denied she has "a debt to pay" and balked when Amber said Eric ran her HOH so she put up her two friends in the house.
Jameka and Amber tried to convince Jessica that Eric has a side deal going with Dick and Daniele.
What Jameka and Amber don't realize through all of their efforts is that Jessica is actually in with Eric and they both have the deal with the Donatos.
Amber swore on her daughter's life about things about three times in the past 12 hours. Poor kid. It just seems to flow out of her mouth too easily like she says the phrase all the time. That creeps me out.
Jameka and Amber are sure that Eric wants to take Evel Dick to the final two. They say he's in the game for himself. (Um, shouldn't they all be in there to win? Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought that was the purpose behind the whole shebang.)
Amber told Jessica to lie about their talk when she speaks to Eric.
Amber wants to target Eric next week if she's still in the house.
They played quarters and Eric had to kiss Zach (twice on the cheeks) as losers (the guys) had to kiss each other for punishment. Yeah, NOW he kisses Zach!
Eric said, "This is the gayest moment ever."
Evel Dick licked Zach and Zach got mad. "Don't [bleeping] LICK me!"
The other punishments were guys wearing high heels, bikini tops and girls wearing panties on their heads.
Dick licked Eric and Eric just laughed.
Daniele slept through most of the shenanigans and was mad they made so much noise that they woke her up. When Zach said he kissed her father, she said, "Disgusting!"
After the game was over, Zach told Dick that next week they have to backdoor Eric. Dick agreed, but does he really? I don't think so. I think Dick wants to stay with the Little Julie Chen Alliance and once they're to the final four, knock off Eric.
Zach is now saying he only needs second place to win the money he really needs.
Dick thinks everyone wants to be in the final two with him (Dick) to guarantee they'll win.
Dick told Zach that unless he hears that Zach has tried to get him on the block, he'll vote out Amber. (Here's where it gets tricky -- Dick KNOWS that Zach went to Eric and Jessica upon being nominated to propose that Dick be backdoored and Dick KNOWS that Zach told Eric he wanted him to use the POV to save him and backdoor Dick. So, in effect, Dick can just turn around and say "you tried to get me out this week" if he votes for Zach to go home.)
When Dick asked Jessica if she's kissed Eric yet, she said she hadn't.
Amber really really really worked on Daniele to get her vote to stay. Daniele looked bored for the most part and committed to nothing.
Jessica told Eric all about her talk with Jameka and Amber. She didn't lie about it, either.
She said that Amber said Evel Dick said all debts were paid off and the deal is over. Eric said Dick was lying to Amber.
Eric once again stressed that he really cares about her and would do nothing to hurt her.
Eric and Jessica wondered why Amber's boyfriend wasn't flown to the show and it was her cousin instead. They also think, from what Daniele said, that Daniele is very popular with America.
Jessica thinks her vocabulary has improved since being in the house. (How about Amber's?)
Tons of small game talk, but it seems that Jessica/Eric cannot be split up by the likes of Amber or Jameka. Eric points out that Jameka doesn't have his best interests in mind, although she's close to Jessica.
Eric hinted that Jessica will have to watch all of the show tapes to find out some things about what he's done in the game. (America's Player stuff, I assume.)
Then he went further -- he told Jessica that he was the one doing the odd votes and the mustarding of Jen's shirt. He didn't tell her why he did it, he acted like it was just to stir things up. he said he had reasons which will come out later.
She said she thought it was him all along.
They laughed about it and she claimed the banner plane about him being a liar was true.
She said she's not mad about him over it.
He said he wanted to tell her for weeks because it was bothering him. He just didn't know how to tell her and was worried she'd be mad.
The adolescent lovebird affair remains intact and he didn't really out America's Player as he acted like it's all been his own doing for his own nefarious purposes.
All are in bed as I post this with Eric and Jessica talking small talk, mostly not game related. I think the house might be leaning towards an Amber eviction, but it's very iffy. It could go either way as I've seen no meeting of the minds between the Little Julie Chen Alliance members.
The show is starting here on the East Coast. I'll be updating this entry as it airs. Everyone is welcome to jump in with your comments and observations!
We're visiting Recap City to start out, of course. Jessica has just nominated Zach and Amber. Zach is telling us he'll get Jessica if he can. Amber believes in God saving her. Dick is really happy, as is Daniele.
Amber is talking into her necklace like it's a direct microphone to God. Amen.
Zach is worried that he's on shaky ground. Daniele tried to be a bit of a comfort, but not much of one.
Jameka joins Eric and Jessica in the HOH room, they're joined by Daniele. They said Zach looked like he was going to cry. Jameka tells us that she hopes Amber isn''t the target and she hopes it's a backdoor move.
Amber thinks Zach will go unless she's being used as a pawn for them to backdoor Dick or Daniele.
To the Smitten Ones. Flirting on the lounger. This is an older conversation -- the husband of 80 years one.
Oh, now they're playing Gregorian Chants or something to Jameka's cry praying. Jessica walks in on her and thought she had fallen. She hugs her. Although Jessica seems a bit surprised, she handles it well. She tells Jameka she's into her church at home, so she understands religious feelings.
Zach goes to Jessica and says he thinks it makes sense. He pushes for him to be removed and a backdoor plan for a Dick removal. Or Daniele. Jessica says "hmmm-mmm" a lot, but doens't seem enthused. She tells us in a DR session that she doesn't really trust Dick and Daniele although they have an alliance with them.
Now they're showing the houseguests Amber and Daniele's trip. The HG don't think Drew Carey is really the new host of The Price is Right. Daniele cries in the house, Amber cries on the show.
Dick and others are very nice about it, telling Amber she did well. Daniele cried because she didn't see Nick.
Eric tells us he likes Jessica ... again, still. He crawls under the covers with her after taking off his shirt. He kisses her. She lays there like a log, then giggles. "It's about time." BB played the moment for all it's worth. Perhaps 25 cents?
Time to pick players for the veto comp. Jessica picks Daniele. Zach picks HG Choice and goes for Eric. Zach tells us he thinks there's a better chance of Eric using the veto that way. Amber picked Jameka. Dick, the only one left, is the host.
Zach tries to work on Eric pre-comp. I love how the show editing hints the veto is used.
Time for the comp! It's a scary rat-filled swamp. They have to stand on a tree stump and find the rat with the answer to a riddle asked by a hungry cat.
It's the Cheshire Cat, Cat Scratch Veto, the first answer is Dustin. He was number six to go, enemy to one named Joe/ parading in cape and crown ... Jessica is eliminated.
The answer is slop. Concoction is crude, barely passes as food. Outlook looks bleak when you eat this for a week. Jameka out.
The answer is Nick. Who could know, he'd be the fourth to go. His heart rang like a bell for Daniele. Daniele last to her stump, eliminated.
The answer is Jen. Eric beat Zach to the stump although Zach tried to push him off. Zach elminated.
It's down to Amber and Eric. Her vision will come true. The answer is Veto. Eric wins VETO. Zach hugged Eric giving reason for Daniele to speculate there's something between them. She voices her concern to her father. They know Jessica doesn't want to put up Jameka. "We have to get Jessica out," says Dick.
America's Player task -- He actually jokes about it being Dick, but then says we're being good to him with Jessica. He barely finishes the task with a brief hug and a peck.
Amber cries to Eric that she doesn't want to go home. I don't know, I don't know, should I be worried, etc ... it's like speed talking. Eric tells her that he will honor what Jessica wants to do.
Alone with Eric, Jessica tells him that she's worried about trusting Dick and Daniele. "It might be the biggest mistake ever." Eric tells her they made an agreement with them. Jessica voices a bit of doubt about Eric to us, but I don't really see much doubt on the feeds. I wonder what they said to her to get that response.
Now it's time for Eric to decide what to do with the veto. The meeting == jis eyebrow goes up. Amber says he should use it on her, but will respect decision. Zach will live with his decision. Eric told them he talked to all this week. He says they're all serious threats to him. They say to expect the unexpected. That's why I AM choosing ... not to use the power of veto this week.
Now Amber says he's evil and has no soul. Zach thinks Eric stacked the odds against himself.
Eric tells us that he knows we want Amber to go home as we wanted her nominated twice, so he didn't change the veto.
America's Player -- Which of the two nominees should go home this week? Zach or Amber?
<-- Zach wants his hair trimmed. For some reason, he only seems to trust Jameka to do it. She's a bit nervous, probably because she doesn't really know what she's doing. Zach said, "I can hear Julie now. Why is there a J carved in the back of your hair?" I don't think Jameka will get too adventurous in the hair-cutting endeavor.
Now, if it were Amber ... "I had a vision of you in stripes!" In other news from that Big Brother House of Worried and Winsome Wilmas:
Eric thinks this season is more entertaining than All-Stars. I beg to differ.
BB woke up the houseguests at noon their time today. And they wonder why they're up until dawn, eh? I think BB should start waking them by 8 just to jolt them back to reality.
Dick pointed out to the Internet watchers that there will be five people left to evict and three more weeks of the show.
Jessica is having second thoughts about her nominations. She thinks she may have made a mistake and isn't sure they can trust Evel Dick and Daniele. Eric sympathizes with her, but thinks she did the right thing this week.
Eric wondered if Jessica wanted to talk, but she said she just needed to get over it.
Dick and Eric joked about what deals Zach might offer them to save him.
Eric complained about Zach making noise and "having a tantrum" when called to the DR early in the morning.
When Daniele kept going on about being glad there's only 21 days left, Dick did the old "don't wish your life away" kind of talk. Now, my parents used that on me when I was a child, but I didn't mouth back to them. Daniele got snotty and covered her eyes with her towel while sunning.
That's it for now! Oh, Jameka denied to Zach that she's looking for a husband. She says she's just waiting, not looking.
Nah, Evel Dick isn't burning anyone with a cigarette. And, I'm pretty sure he isn't a gang member. He's outside talking to Daniele in the wee hours. Here are the late night happenings from that Big Brother House of Misfit Toys:
The houseguests watched a private viewing of the Daniele/Amber appearance on The Power of Ten, but aren't allowed to talk about it until Tuesday night. I guess the show wanted to air it, but doesn't want live feed watchers knowing the outcome of the game show.
Amber thinks that Jessica nominated her to show Dick and Daniele they're not together while Zach was nominated to make him think they're not with Daniele and Dick. My head hurts at her logic.
Dick told Jessica that Zach told him that she turned on him.
When Eric said the DR told him his Abercrombie and Fitch necklace looked gay and he shouldn't wear it, the BB voice said, "Eric, stop that!"
Dick read into Julie Chen's comments to him that he may not be looking good on the show.
The houseguests all think this is a boring week for both them and the feeds watchers.
BB called each HG into the diary room tonight and most just wanted to nap.
Daniele told Eric he should say he swore on Amber's daughter that he won't keep her in the house.
Eric told Dick that Zach wanted them to backdoor him (Dick) this week.
Daniele and Dick had a pleasant talk about the game, Daniele's plan to go to DisneyWorld and more.
If I have to suffer, you have to share my pain. It's very boring in the house tonight and several houseguests have complained about it. BB, give them something to do! Have 'em paint gnomes or something!
One camera kept focusing on Amber chewing, biting, and swallowing fingernails -- with the appropriate audio. Blech.
EWW! Make her stop! Another camera focused in and out on somebody's foot sticking out of the covers looking mysteriously like a part of the male anatomy. At least I think it was a foot. I have a new update posted on TV Squad, take a gander and make a comment if you wish!
Yep, Evel Dick is sitting pretty. Or, as pretty as he can sit with those funky feet!
Here are the day's events so far from inside that Big Brother House of "But I had a Vision!" --
Before they went to sleep, Eric double-checked with Jessica to make sure she was still okay with his plan to let the nominations stand. She's fine with it.
Jameka seriously tried to turn Jessica against Eric. I think she was doing it more in Amber's interest and perhaps Jessica's down the road rather than her own.
Jessica told Jameka that she doesn't think Eric is going to use the veto. Jameka went on about Eric, Dick, and Daniele ... and sometimes Zach!
Jessica reported the Jameka conversation back to Eric.
Eric kissed her. I think this is probably the America's Player kiss. America has no sense of adventure!
Eric is mad that Jameka told Jessica he didn't want to win HOH because they might give him pictures of his girlfriend. He says that's none of Jameka's business and he's been honest with Jessica.
Eric told Jessica he really wants to win HOH next week.
Jameka, the school counselor, asked if someone could explain the "Jensa Member" t-shirt. She doesn't get the reference. (I guess it's safe to say she's not a Mensa Member. It's scary that Jen obviously knew the reference and Jameka doesn't.)
Amber told Jameka that Jessica told her that she isn't the target, but she (Amber) thinks something is going on between Jessica, Eric, Daniele, and Dick. (Ding, ding, we have a winner!)
Eric didn't use the veto -- for the first time this season! Amber and Zach are still on the block.
... or possibly not. The official list is due Wednesday morning, but I found this on TMZ. I'm not sure if it's a joke or serious, but know you guys want to see it!
The POV Ceremony is over. It sounds like Eric had a nice speech. It also sounds like the nominations are remaining the same -- Amber and Zach are on the block. Jameka doesn't understand why Eric wants his two enemies to remain in the house with him. She thinks it might be a tie.
<--- Amber actually smiling as the houseguests play spin the bottle. It's more of a mix of spin the bottle and truth or dare or something. There is no kissing involved. They tell a "truth" and all say "how sad." Very odd. Not like yesterday morning with Jessica and Eric! Which, by the way, was the only interesting point of the day and that was sort of blah. Without further ado, here's the news from inside the House of Big Brother Previously Rejected Applications:
Eric's rather anti-climatic kissing of Jessica yesterday morning won't count for America's Player. If she's chosen, he will have to do it again. (One more time, this time with feeling!)
I still want him to have to kiss Dick or Zach, though.
Amber read her bible often yesterday. Hopefully she has at least portions memorized by now.
The washing machine is still on the fritz.
Strategy or not? Dick went to Amber complaining there's only so much of Zach he can take. They had a talk about how annoying Zach is with his know-it-all ways. Amber once again brought up Zach promising to cook for Jameka and not doing it.
Amber cried. (Not due to the Dick conversation, just on general principles.)
Eric and Jessica discussed whether the big Dick/Daniele fight was real or staged. Jessica thinks it was real because Dick's eyes are all red.
Amber talked to Jessica. She said she wants someone good to win the season. At this time, the only good people left in the house are herself, Jameka, and Jessica. (That's according to Amber, not me.)
Amber says that if she stays and wins HOH, she would never put Jessica or Eric on the block. (Never? Um, those numbers are getting down, girl!)
Jessica told her if the vote's a tie, she'll vote out Zach.
Amber thinks that Dick and Daniele are a strong pair, but Jessica and Eric aren't because they're just good friends.
Jessica sat with Dick for a while trying to avoid Zach and everyone. Her strategy is to sleep to avoid people.
Dick has flip-flopped back to wanting Zach out.
Amber still loves her rat!
Amber finally nailed Eric. Just to talk to him, minds out of the gutter! She's worried that she's the target and promises him things she can't possibly keep like never putting him on the block. She did the "good people" to win thing, but now he seems to mysteriously be a part of that. She says she doesn't want Dick, Daniele, or Zach to win.
Amber cried while talking to Eric.
When she asked him if she should be nervous, he told everyone should be nervous because there are only seven players left.
Eric told her he's basically against the backdoor method of evicting a houseguest on the whole. He said he's a bit upset that almost everybody who's gone home this season has been backdoored.
She cried some more.
Amber told him that she can tell he's a good person by his eyes. @@
Eric told Jessica that tomorrow (today) it will be blatantly obvious whether they're with Dick and Daniele or against them.
Jessica said she's not worried about the final four, she's worried about next week.
Amber told Jameka that Eric won't be using the veto.
Zach and Amber both campaigned their cases.
Then it went into the game which is still on as I post this. As a punishment, Dick had to lick Jen's picture twice. Fun, fun. So sad!
The game is over as I add to this -- Amber is whispering to Jameka that Jessica has always been suspicious of her and Eric. @@ (I felt I had to add that to make your morning!)
I apologize for my hours of absense, alas... had stuff that had to get done. I hate that, don't you?
The show has started here in the NYC area. As usual, I'll be updating this entry as it airs. Please join in on comments!
So far, recap, recap and a happy Dick. Oh, all of the cryptic comments by Jen as she left! Jessica is wondering what she should know. Amber is happy Jameka is still around. They're still congratulating each other on Jen's exit.
Now they're re-celebrating Jessica being HOH. Zach feels safe, heh. If God doesn't think Amber should get the HOH, it's not meant for her. @@
Amber is justifying her loss by the fact God meant NEXT week she'll win HOH! Jameka thinks it might be a great week for her because she's close to both Jessica and Eric. Amber thinks Jessica might put Daniele and Dick up. She loves God.
Eric is flirting with Jessica. The woobie listens.
Eric tells us he has no game when it comes to women. But compared to an Ogre and a 44-year old, he's the best left in the house.
It's time for Jessica's HOH room! Excitement galore. Dick thinks the cheerleading squad is ugly. She got her Booyah shirt.
Now Jessica is trying to find out what Jen wanted her to know. Amber said it's that Eric has a girlfriend and there's a lot more to it. Jessica doesn't like cheats and looks pensive. Amber tells Eric, too. Eric looks uncomfortable, but then he does that a lot.
Eric does much work on Amber, tells her there is a relationship -- it comes and goes. He tells Amber he has tried not to cross lines in either direction. He wants to talk to Jessica. He tells us that everything he's done towards her in the house has been true and honest.
So he talks to Jessica. She seems quasi-okay with things.
It's time for Dick and Daniele to argue! He wants her to take vitamins. "He wants to be all parenty and stuff!" Zach picked up enough to get an "I'm on your side Dick dig" to Daniele. Dick asked her if she ever took any responsibility for her part in their break-up. He never left, he never abandoned her.
Y'know, I don't like it when the show airs their dirty family laundry.
Good, Jameka and Jessica talking in the HOH room. Jameka suggests putting up Dick and Daniele. Jessica is acting like she might do that ... most likely for the benefit of Jameka. She tells Jameka she doesn''t know what she'll do, but she won't put Jameka up. Jessica says that Daniele is a bigger threat to her than Dick is.
Luxury comp time -- jessica gets to pick the teams and goes for girls and guys. She also participates. They have wetsuits and a sudsy thing in the backyard. The prize is a Big Brother shopping spree. They must get into their birthday suits. Amber thinks her boyfriend will kill her. Daniele said she's modest and her father is in the house.
Clothes have letters which spell things like toga and Jenitard. They have to put on the clothes with the letter and hang it on the line. I personally would have abstained. The guys are separated from the girls, but still...!
Heehee, the guys spelled goat while the girls saw toga in it, as did Dick. The guys are totally dazed. The girls are going at it with a final of bunny suits! Shrieks of joy! They win! They have two minutes to put on as many of the new articles as they can. Inside the house there are racks and racks. The guys watch wearing robes and yell advice.
Amber says she's not as small as she looks. Jessica took the mannequin. I think it was her anyway.
OMG -- Amber thinks she has the hair and the face, and the body to be a top model. She tells us through tears in the DR that it's the future for her. Jameka gives her encouragemnt. Eww.
Zach pleads his case to Eric and Jessica, tells them to put up Dick and Daniele.
America's Player - Who should Eric get nominated? He's thrilled with the choice of Amber and guarantees it.
He talks to Jessica, tells her that Amber doesn't trust them. Jessica tells Eric that Jameka suggested Dick and Daniele. She knows her nominations didn't hurt her the last time, but has to think out her strategy.
America's Player -- Which houseguest should Eric kiss? (He blew that this morning with Jessica!) I want him to kiss Zach or Dick!
It's time for the HOH nominations thoughts. I love how the HG has to say it's the job of the HOH each week like we don't know. Jessica tells us she has to put up two people who aren't a threat to her this week, maybe take out a power player?
Hmmm...
Time for the cermony. Jessica says the game gets harder each week because she gets closer to people each week. She said some people have been working with her, others have been since day one and others haven't been there for her at all or too little.
Keys: Eric, Daniele, Jameka, Dick.
Nominated Zach and Amber, feels that he hasn't been with her the entire time, nor has Amber. Zach tells us he actually has to work this week to stay in the house. Aha, he admits floating!
And Amber cried. "I'm not mad at you, God. Help me!"
