'So You Think You Can Dance' - Live Results Show 7/19 East Coast Updates

Now, this won't be AS involved as my Big Brother post, but I'll be updating the important happenings on tonight's show. Return as often as you wish to see the updated entry.

Sabra and Dominic and Danny and Anya are on the stage. One couple is bottom three.

Sigh... Danny and Anya are bottom three... again. I like Dominc and Sabra, but why? Danny is superb!

Jaimie and Hok, Sara and Pasha are on the stage now. Hok and Jaimie are bottom three. Although I love Hok, I'm so happy for Pasha!

Now it's Lauren and Neil and Lacey and Kameron on stage. Lauren and Neil are bottom three.

Jason Samuel Smith, a guest star, is tap dancing. He's reminding me of the guy on The Apollo who dances people out. Same guy? Anyone know? Forget it. I know where I know him from. He was in Bring in Da Noise, Bring in Da Funk -- I saw that some time ago.

Mia Michaels and Wade were nominated for Emmys for their SYTYCD work.

Anya is dancing to Tina Turner -- way energetic. Danny is up -- this guy is so gorgeous when he dances. Jaimie is up, nice. Lots of effort and technically difficult. Hok's on, doing his B-boy stuff. Amazing. It's Lauren on stage now. Better than me for sure, but she can go and I on't be heartbroken. Now it's Neil. Probably more versatile than Hok in a lot of ways, but I want Hok to stay! (Though I think the judges may eliminate Hok tonight because he hasn't been doing well with other styles.)

Enrique Iglesias is singing now as the judges make their decision.

The girl vote isn't unanimous. Anya is going home. The decision on the males was unanimous -- Hok is gone, as I thought. Sigh.

'Big Brother 8. - Live Blogging the Live Eviction Show 7/19

<--- Nick does his nail-biting thing just before the live show. The show is starting here on the East Coast. This entry will be updated throughout the show as I watch. Please forgive any typos or mispeelings. ;-)

The recap is over, but first... more recap! This time it's Daniele's POV Ceremony and being replaced by Joe. Into the reactions of Joe and thoughts about reactions to Joe being put on the block against Dick. Joe is talking to Kail and Jessica. Jessica doesn't trust Joe.

Eric chose the envelope and thanked us for wanting Joe out. Slam dunk, he says! Kail's thoughts of saving Joe have started. It's the kitchen confrontation with Dick against Kail. See? I told you he handled it calmly!

Now Julie is talking to the houseguests. She's talking about Amber crying. Magnus and Cragnus, Nick and Mike, are being questioned. Julie's talking to Jen -- "You've taken the uni out of unitard."

We're going to get to meet Nate, the person who came between Dustin and Joe.

More HG reaction to Dick and Joe in DR segments. Heh, Jameka is leaning towards Dick eviction, but I know different!

Julioe is talking to Jen about what my be her favorite topic... herself. Jen says Dick might be a lot like her. Now to the photos talk... she's fussing once again about her Memory Wall photo. Did you nominate Daniele out of jealousy? No, attitude.

Live vote coming...

Joe tells them that it's time to take action and keep their word. Dick hopes to stay because he's been so shy and introverted so far.

The votes are:

Dustin -- Evict Joe
Daniele - Evict Joe
Eric - Evict Joe --you can't spell America without Eric. ;-)
Amber - Evict Joe

But, first... commercial break.

Kail - Evict Dick
Jameka - Evict Joe
Mike - Evict Joe!
Nick - Evict Joe
Jessica - Evict Joe
Zach - Evict Joe

9 to 1, Joe is evicted!

:::doing my Snoopy dance here:::

Joe meets up with Julie and they're all hugging in the house. Kail is standing by herself looking uncomfortable. Joe says Dustin's arrival threw his game off. Julie wonders if it was smart to play the way he did. Julie spills the beans on America's Player. Eric in a pre-taped segment tells Joe about the bed ploy.

Dick in his goodbye, see ya. Kail the only nice one so far. Jessica nice goodbye. Zach a nice goodbye. Jen's is more about herself -- if you're their I failed. Dustin says he's not the same person, take care of yourself.

HOH comp is next, so it looks like Jen's mom backed out.

Comp is called "Getting Schooled" - welcome back to high school. Classroom subjexts as they pertain to their time in the BB House.

Dustin out. Jameka, Eric, Zach and Jessica out. Kail out! Amber and Nick out. It's down to Dick, Daniele, and Mike. Going to a tiebreaker round. Same number rules as usual. Round nearest hour -- how long has Jen had her unitard.

DICK IS THE NEW HOH! Vindication, baby!

America's Player - who must Eric work to get nominated for eviction? If we tell him Kail, he'll complete it!

'Big Brother 8' - Pre-show Live Feeds

The feeds have been blocked for most of the afternoon, but came on a while ago. The latest?

Kail, Jen, and Joe are bullying Nick and Zach (individually). That firms up Nick's conviction. He met with Zach in the gym. He said he's definitely voting for Joe to leave. Zach didn't actually verbally commit, but indicated he is, too. Nick says the votes will be Amber, Dustin, Daniele, Eric, Zach and himself minimum for a Dick stay, Joe go vote.

Oops: An added note -- during our feedblock, one of the things they do is take a trial run through the HOH comp so they don't screw up the timing on live television. They're not supposed to talk about it, but one wondered if all the HOH comps are going to be "fast" like this one. No one is studying anything.

UPDATE -- Jameka just told Joe that she will be voting for Dick to stay. She said it was (at least partially) due to his side lying and she can't abide by lies. She
had told him before that she would tell him her vote just before the show... she did.

<--- The HG sit around awaiting the live show. Most of them, anyway. Screen cap from about 7:42 PM ET.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Bulletin - The Absolute Latest!
















Most of the houseguests are primping or cleaning house before their big live show tonight.

Today has been a bit uneventful for the most part with one big whammy of news.

Shortly after waking up the HG, BB locked them all in the HOH room. This was one of the most boring things ever on the feeds. Most slept, some primped... no one talked!

When they were finally let out, BB has the theme music piped into the house for them and we've been through a mix of trivia with audio, trivia with theme music, and actual audio and video.

Here's the big news:

Nick told Mike that Joe told him that he planned to put Kail and Mike on the block if he stayed in. It appears that Mike has now changed his vote and will be voting along with Nick and Zach to vote Joe out.

Kail and Mike were talking in the storage room...

K: "So, I should keep my word to vote out Dick even if it's a 9-1 vote?"
M: "Yes."

So there you have it.

'Big Brother 8' - The Latest TV Squad and Stuff!

Hi folks! I hope that we'll be seeing a Joe eviction tonight on the live show. I'll be here live-blogging the show at 8 PM ET as it airs here in the NYC area. Of course, those reports come through complete with typos and all, but...! I'll also be posting a live East Coast Update on the boot episode of So You Think You Can Dance when that follows tonight's Big Brother 8 show.

My latest feeds update is available over at TV Squad, in this post in particular. It includes a very telling YouTube clip.

After the hamsters get going for the day, I'll update you on the happenings. I don't expect today to be very eventful on the feeds, but you never know.
