'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds and Stuff - Into 7/20 Morning

Jackie's TV Blog, BB8, Big Brother 8

While my favorite graphic arteest Zoetawny seems to think Evel Dick (or ED to his friends) is torn between a Kail and Jen ouster, I think it's purely Kail going home which is on his mind. He's told her on the feeds that he'll be putting her on the block.

He has said he's putting both Jen and Kail up, but I'm wondering if he might change his mind about Jen. His target is Kail and having Jen there might confuse the issue as she's disliked, too.

Before I get into the latest from inside the house, I want to thank blog reader ORKMommy for mentioning the latest HOH Diary entry from Jen on the CBS website. I hadn't been there yet although it was on my list. Oh, my. It's "histarical" as Jen would say!

Here's the news from that Big Brother House of Kail Scrambling to No Avail:
  • Kail is still harping on being betrayed by Nick and Zach although they clearly tried to steer her away from the Joe Stay Campaign and never told her they would vote for Joe to stay -- all but came out and blatantly said the opposite.
  • Kail doesn't have the same feeling about Mike although she personally confronted him to ask why he didn't tell her he was changing his vote. Now, that's delusional. I posted a YouTube clip on my last TV Squad article in which Mike told her he was going to vote for Dick to stay!
  • Kail told Dick she no longer has an alliance... she's all alone in the game. (She was all alone when she went on her vendetta against Dick!)
  • Dick told Kail that even if she wins POV, one of her alliance is going home. Well, perhaps that should be one of her "past-tense alliance."
  • In his HOH basket, Dick got Cherry Garcia Ben & Jerry's ice cream as well as another kind, Guinness stout, a Ramones CD, several photos (which he adored) and put off reading the letter from his mother as he thought he might get emotional.
  • Once he read the letter, he shared it with everyone. He was thrilled with it! She said that it was hard watching him, but he was learning and growing.
  • Dick told the crowd in his HOH Room that they all had free passes for the week, they knew who he was nominating and that he wants Kail to go home. Everyone was present except Kail and Jen.
  • The crowd watched Kail on the spy screen and Dick said, "Instant karma. You reap what you sow." (Now, it's not all a spool of lies, is it?)
  • Dick said he will be putting up Jen and Kail. We'll see.
  • Jen finally took off her stupid Jenitard and put real clothes back on.
  • Dick told Daniele that they have to be careful about seeming to be too close -- at some point they'll need to have a fake argument so folks will think they're not a team.
  • He warned her to be careful of Nick and what she says to him.
  • Dick told Daniele that Jen isn't as dumb as she thinks she is.

So, that's just about it. It's certain Kail is going on the block and she's the target. Dick says he'll be putting Jen up there with her, but I'm not so sure on that being a done deal. And, Kail is freaking out. She's all alone in the game. Too bad, so sad -- had she not tried to be the dictator of her alliance and had actually abided by their wishes, she wouldn't be on the hot seat now.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds After the Live Show 7/19



The reaction in the new HOH room for Dick was so much nicer than Jen last week. Dick was actually happy with his photos, letter from his mother, music and snacks... and beverages!

BB gave the houseguests the Off of Slop Finally Feast, so the women had tasty food.

As expected, Kail is freaking out. As I type this, she just got through lying to Dustin and Amber. She said it wasn't a personal vendetta against Dick, it was for her alliance! They all shook hands on the vote! (No, they didn't!) She told them without saying names that two of her alliance developed their own secret alliance. @@

Kail is sure that Dick will put her and Mike on the block. I personally think he'll feel he has to put her up for betraying him. The second is a wild card. Could be Mike. Could be Jen. All I know for sure is that it won't be Daniele.

Nothing too exciting except a frantic Kail trying to defend her actions. If she had listened to her alliance in the first place when they wanted Joe out, she wouldn't be in this predicament.

'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.
