'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds, Playing Catch Up - Into the Evening 7/20

Sure... I turn on the feeds and this is what I get...




(For those who can't run the video, it's zuma, zuma, thump, thump...)

In a brief rundown of the more important news from today in the Big Brother House of What's That You Say, Mrs. Robinson, Your Alliance Has Left And Gone Away:

• The nominations didn't happen until late this evening (my time, their time it was only around 6 PM) and, as I briefly posted, Dick put Jen and Kail on the block. Although this was one of the latter happenings, I'm putting it here first due to um... priorities! Keep in mind that until you read differently, the following events took place before the nomination ceremony.
• Kail told Mike that Jen told her that Zach outed the Mrs. Robinson alliance to her (Jen).
• Kail is worried, all alone in the world and her expressions range from deer in the headlights to uncomfortable to depleted.
• The HG told Jen they're sick of seeing the unitard.
• It's Jameka's birthday.
• The food comp wasn't shown on the feeds, but seems to be one in which they played for various food groups.
• Dick and Daniele had a talk in which he told her if Nick is playing his daughter, he'll kill him. She giggled and Nick told Dick he's not playing her. We'll see.
• Daniele gave Dick a lot of speech advice. He listens to her.
• Dick told Nick that if he puts both Jen and Kail on the block, that will divide them and Zach will "jump ship."
• Zach, trying for Dick's favor, told him of the $50,000 deal he has going with Nick. Whichever of the two win the game will give the other the money. Dick reminded him that's against the rules.
• Zach kept spilling beans on everyone in the house to Dick.
• Dick told Amber that Zach told him he knew they were in a secret alliance -- Amber, Dustin, and Dick. Dick wants her to distance herself some and not blow his game. She cries.
• The nominations go down, so from this point it's after Jen and Kail know they're nominated.
• The HG got a grill.
• Kail kept away from the group, so Dick checked in on her. As she went on and on about her failed alliance, he told her every move she had made was wrong beginning with making an alliance on the second day.
• Dick said Jen needs a personality transplant and is merely a caricature of herself. He doesn't view her as a threat, nor does anyone else. He believes that's why Kail will be voted out.
• Kail was so sure she'd do well in the game that she already had her Final Two speech prepared.
• Kail is crushed.
• The others play zuma, zuma...

Two, two, zuma, zuma, (thump), (thump)...

'Big Brother 8' LATE Live Feeds News - Noms...

I know I'm posting this late, but I've been gallivanting in Manhattan with blog commenter Sydney.

It's all her fault, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

The nominees are (drumroll, please) ... exactly the ones Dick said would be on the block -- Kail and Jen.

Latest on TV Squad

My latest blog entry is up over on TV Squad. Joyous noise, please! :-)

(Go read it -- it's not the same as I post here!)

Merci, beaucoups!

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

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.
