'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.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Bulletin - Nominations

After a few hours of blocked feeds, it looks like Jameka might be on the block. She's crying. Not sure on the second one yet. I'll update this post when I glean the info. (I love saying stuff like "glean the info.") I believe the second is Dick. Joe's key was the last one pulled.

I may be wrong on Jameka. She's still crying, but Dick's talking like he and Daniele (the original plan) are on the block

I will clarify.

No, Jameka is just being emotional.

Dick and Daniele are on the block.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Update - Friday, July 13


There's a lot of scheming going on, but the nominations haven't gone down as of the time I'm getting this posted.
The nominations SEEM like it will be Dick and Daniele right now. Jen honestly thinks that Daniele would go home. Zach is in the thick with Jen and operating as her flying monkey.

Nick had a talk with Jen in which he told her Zach was saying that she would be putting up him (Nick) and Daniele. In that case, he'd go home. He tried to get her to realize that Daniele would have votes to stay against many people. He suggested Joe on the block.

Earlier Zach had nixed Joe on the block because he can go anytime. He suggested Daniele and Amber.

After Nick finished his talk with Jen in which she practically confessed Daniele and Dick on the block as a sure thing, he (Nick) told Dick that Jen would be putting them (Daniele and Dick) up. They talked about how they couldn't trust Zach... something said often before.

Earlier today there was the food comp -- blocked from the cameras. Jen said she was the only girl who can eat (because she's HOH). It seems to be the girls and Joe on slop. There also was some sort of incident with Eric in the comp that upset folks. But I haven't heard details.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds - Late Night -Overnight Into 7/13

Although I really didn't want Jen to get HOH, this puts a bit of spice into the game. These folks, even those who don't get along, have been much too passive much too long.

Give me fireworks.

Here are the happenings from the late night/overnight hours in that Big Brother House of You're So Vain, I Bet You Thought This Show Is About You:

  • The HG are talking conspiracy -- Dick, Jameka, Amber, and Daniele all think Julie had two answers to the last question and chose the one which favored a Jen win. @@
  • Jen said she wouldn't do a nomination of both Dick and Joe. "No one likes Joe, but they may keep him over Evel."
  • No alcohol for the hamsters due to the scheduled food challenge Friday.
  • Jen told Mike she wasn't going to put up Dick, but after their fight, she should.
  • Jen is worried about girls leaving the house, although she'd rather Daniele leave than Dick. That's because it would break up the Nick connection. Dick's only real connection is Daniele. (She's actually thinking!)
  • Unlike last week with Kail, Jen is opening the HOH Room for meetings about deals.
  • Dick figured out the Kail, Mike, Zach alliance.
  • Nick and Jen talked about the kissing brouhaha. Jen told him, "It's hard to pretend you're a dumb girl when you're not." (Hmm... food for thought, eh?) She thinks she would have gone home if she didn't win HOH.
  • Jen thinks the house would be boring if Dick wasn't in it. (Hate to break the news, but it's boring even when he's there!)
  • Most of the HG have told stories about how they got cast... Eric notes that Jen didn't say much. (She said, and I reported, that a friend at CBS got her in. I say ChillTown!)
  • Lots of anti-Zach speak goin' on. That's new. It's Nick, Daniele, Amber, and Dick doin' the smack talk.
  • Dick was going to have a meeting with Jen, but it fell through. I don't know why.
  • Jen fussed about the HOH photos again and newly fussed about them not giving her a silk pillow.
  • Mike and Kail have doubts about Nick's loyalty in the Mrs. Robinson alliance.
  • In a Kail and Jen HOH Room talk, they discussed key order for the nomination. At the moment, it looks like Jen will nominate Dick and Daniele. Keep in mind, this may change. It could be something that Jen's saying because of Kail. She could do somethng entirely different during the actual noms. I have a feeling that we may be underestimating some of Jen's gameplaying skills in the house.
  • I hope I'm wrong and she's not a smart player.
  • Dick, Amber and Eric are still up talking in the backyard as I post this.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Update - Since Live Show 7/12

Okay, I downloaded a different driver for my audio recording and managed to record with the BBReloader not in a silent movie fashion. This live feeds clip I uploaded to YouTube is my first Big Brother feeds recording experiment. Jameka, Dick, and Eric are reliving their surprise that Jen won the HOH competition. I should get better at this as I go along, so bear with me! Caution - language is a bit rough, but thankfully no nudity!




So... Eric thinks Jen is the focus player, eh? I actually understand his reasoning and he's right. She's the one the Internet has glommed onto with Jessica's "dumbisms" running a close second.

Here are the other recent shenanigans in a nutshell:
  • Daniele, Joe, and Dick all think the comp was geared to a Jen win.
  • Daniele asked Joe if he would keep her in the event that she and her father were both on the block.
  • Joe doesn't think he's America's "favorite" anymore because of his comment about Dustin's "surface smile." (What he doesn't understand is that he hasn't been America's favorite since the first time America met him!)
  • Dick didn't want to see the new JenHOH Room.
  • Jen hates the pictures in her JenHOH.
  • The room itself didn't change like in the past -- just the goodies. She received snacks, leggings, photos, ear plugs and more. But "all I wanted was silk sheets!" No silk sheets for you!
  • Joe wants her to nominate Dustin, but she told him she's leaning towards Daniele and Nick.

The nominations should be tomorrow (Friday) and the food competition is expected, too. Half of the house will be on BB Slop again by this time tomorrow night.
