'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.

'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.
