'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.
