I think Nick wants to be a pirate. He may do that better than be a success on Big Brother 8!
Well, yeah. Some of it is our fault. We're the ones who told Eric to cast a vote to evict Kail. That vote is being blamed on Nick.
But do I feel bad about it? Nope! Nick has gone a bit strange as of late. He's been a hothead about some things; he's still stringing Daniele along although he knows she has a serious relationship outside of the house. He's been playing both alliances and not neat about it.
So, he's indeed in a pickle, eh? He was a bit of a target before last night's vote. He's more of one now.
Here are the latest events from that Big Brother House of Happy HOHs!:
- Kail thinks that Zach and Daniele were her votes to stay. She's half right.
- Daniele and Dick talked about her situation with Kris (the boyfriend). He's planning on moving home as he's in an apprenticeship, Dick offered to help her find a new apartment.
- Daniele, not old enough to drink, doesn't like to drink alcohol -- it makes her sick.
- Dustin told Kail that Dick and Daniele are only working on their relationship when they talk, not talking game. (Yeah, right!)
- Kail worked on being best buddies with Dustin the best she can.
- Zach feels lonely and alienated.
- But he doesn't cry.
- Eric and Jessica talked. Neither would mind if Nick went home this week. Both realize the longer both Daniele and Dick stay in the house together, the stronger the duo becomes.
- Jessica thinks Nick is sketchy. (So do I.)
- Amber told Eric that her mother saw her in the final two and, since she hasn't been voted out, it must be true! (Blech! Nononononono!)
- Amber is pushing for Zach to go which made Dustin question why she's loyal to Nick.
- She sidestepped that issue by badmouthing Dick.
- Amber thinks that if Nick makes it to the jury, he'll be a vote for them to win. Which one of them? Why, her, of course!
That's where we are now. Later today will be the food competition. Since no one has been on slop this past week, I'm sure that will change in the upcoming week. Even later will be the nominations. Just watching the sentiment in the house, it looks like Dustin will nominate Nick and Zach. However, there's a chance Kail will be somewhere in there and a backdoor may open.
Dustin has a new robe and new digs -- the HOH room. As I get ready to send this, he and Dick are talking in there. Everyone thinks that Nick was the vote to keep Mike, not Eric.
Dustin thinks his alliance is Amber, Eric, Dick, Daniele as the strong ones. He counts Jameka and Jessica as weaker members. He wants Zach out, but would be willing to backdoor Nick. They'll be holding a meeting a bit later to decide the noms. He told Dick he'd rather Daniele not be in on it because it would affect a Nick decision.
Here's what's happened since the show:
- Nick and Daniele think it was Jen who voted to keep Mike. Everyone knows that Zach was the one vote and, due to circumstances, that was totally expected.
- Amber cried.
- Amber thinks Nick voted to save Mike because his game is sloppy.
- Eric, Jameka, Jessica, and Amber are sure they'll have a safe week.
- Nick told Amber that he was excited that the three -- Kail, Jen, and Zach -- were taken out of the HOH comp.
- Amber asked Daniele if Dick knew Nick was shady. Daniele told her he did.
- Dustin is in heaven, keeps dancing, singing, shouting, and jumping for joy.
- In his HOH basket, Dustin got a letter from home, photos, a HOH robe, and snacks.
- Amber again told Daniele that Dick doesn't wash his hands after using the bathroom. Daniele told her to tell him that's nasty. (I'm waiting for another Gerry-type showdown!)
- Daniele told Amber that if Nick is going to play everyone, he needs to do it better.
- Dick and Dustin danced and jumped around the HOH in joyful celebration. (Isn't that special?)
- They immediately KNEW it was Nick voting to evict Kail against the alliance.
- Eric seems to be under no suspicion whatsoever.
- Jen and Kail talked about trying to get Dustin to nominate Dick.
- Dustin is thinking of backdooring Nick and putting Zach and Kail on the block. But that will be discussed later.
And I will let you know what they do ... later!
The show has started here on the East Coast. As it airs, I'll update this post with the big events -- the least votes, who's going home. Stop on back!
Some teenybopper heart throb sang. I'm clueless.
Bottom four is two guys and two girls. They will solo, but the solo won't change the votes.
Jaimie is the first girl in the bottom two. It's down to Lauren and Sara to complete the bottom two. Lauren joins Jaimie in the bottom two girls. Now to the boys -- Neil is safe. Finally! Danny is SAFE!
Dominic is in the bottom four (only two guys will be there with two girls). Left for judgment are Kameron and Pasha. Pasha is safe! It's Kameron and Dominic joining Lauren and Jaimie for the bottom four. One guy and one girl will go home.
Huh... Kameron danced his solo looking defeated. Now that all four solos are done, the news is...
...after the break.
Going home tonight are Jaimie and ... Kameron.
I'm glad Dominic is staying. He's improved so much!
The recap is drawing to a close. Kail feels horrible about sitting next to Mike. She thinks Dick is sending her home. Mike doesn't think Kail is emotionally strong enough to get through the game.
Dick is talking to Nick. Nick seems almost too eager to me. They say Mike should go. Dixk is making the rounds with his Get Rid of Mike Campaign.
Jen advised Kail not to campaign against Mike and he shouldn't campaign against her either. Jen let Mike know that Kail kept the alliance from her despite they were such good friends. Mike is on his true and trustworthy bit.
Eric is discovering his America's Player vote. He lets us know that the vote would be 9-1 for Mike to go right now, but if America wants Kail out, he'll get it done. (I don't think he can!)
Flatulent Dick left the room before having his gas. Good. Eric is in the HOH room campaign -- I posted two segments of this on YouTube and linked them earlier. Dustin says he plans to vote Mike out and that Kail is putty in his hands. Dick is staring to come around... maybe.
Coming up, it's a segment with Daniele's boyfriend. Jen's mother never showed last week, eh?
They're doing the HG thoughts on the two nominees from the DR now. You can never base anything on these unless it's overwhelming that one will go. That's when they usually stay!
Julie's talking to the houseguests. They show the Zach streaking incident. He said he "needed my high back" because he was feeling low. Jameka was asked about being low-key when others demand attention. Jen said she'd stop the mustard investigation until she gets home. Eric was questioned about losing the wrestling match with Jen.
To Daniele's live-in boyfriend now... Kris. He's cleancut, seems nice. He says they've talked about marriage and he thinks Daniele is his soulmate. Awww. He wants to believe Daniele's relationship with Nick is all strategy. She told him before going into the house that he has to trust her, so he is. He says some things hurt, but he's not worried -- it's all about trust.
Julie's HOH room talk with Dick is on now. Dick says his and Daniele's relationship is going in the right direction... he even got hugged. He told Julie he doesn't trust Nick. He says his outspoken ways are his gameplay. Call 'em out, get 'em out.
It's a segment on Jen now. We could be surprised to discover the real Jen. (I've said there's more to her.) Ah, Mom showed up! Jen was a straight A student? Yikes! Mom said Jen taking her photo down hurt a little bit. Dick shows he knows there's more to her. Her sister told her to play dumb.
Back to the houseguests. Julie gives each nominee a chance to speak. Mike talks about stepping outside of the comfort zone and of his integrity and honesty platform, values, tc. Kail gets up, really appreciates everyone's friendship, special bond, blah blah, strengthen friendship if she stays.
The voting goes:
Zach votes out Kail.
Jameka votes to evict Mike.
Jen votes to evict Mike.
Dustin votes to evict Mike.
Commercial break. Argh.
Eric votes out Kail for us in a charade.
Amber votes out Mike.
Nick votes to evict Mike.
Daniele votyes to evict Michael.
Jessica votes to evict Mike.
With an 7 to 2, Mike is evicted from the house. He gives the girls each a flower from the planter.
Julie talk taime as the HG hug.
And Kail cries.
And Amber fusses with her hair. There is an issue who the second vote for Kail to go is. Eric is squirming.
Mike told Julie his taunting Dick was integrity. Zach told him he voted for him to stay. Dustin is blunt. Amber is nice. Jen... Hi, Mike, it's ... Jen. Very nice. Dick was honest, said it was a bad gameplay. They're not showing the Eric bit to him. Time must be short?
The HOH comp is starting. "Eliminator" - questions about those already eliminated. First buzzer eliminates another player, but if they're wrong they get eliminated. Zach eliminates Jen. Dustin eliminates Zach. Nick eliminates Kail. Jameka eliminates Nick. Dustin eliminates Jessica. Eric eliminates Amber. Eric eliminates Daniele. Eric got one wrong and got himself eliminated. It's down to Dustin and Jameka.
Dustin is the new HOH. This could be an interesting week, for sure!
Amber fixes her hair.
UM... folks... there's too much time left! Do you think it will be a double eviction week? Will he have to name nominees on the spot and there will be another eviction Sunday? There's too much time left!
Who do we want out of the house? Tell Eric who we want nominated.
Maybe I panicked on the time thing. It IS early for the HOH to finish ten minutes before the hour. Julie asks him what he thinks Joe would be feeling. Julie's just filling time. They apparently just loused up the timing of the show. No double eviction this week. Never mind my panic. ;-)
Whatever the news, I'm ready! Graphic artist Zoetawny made us a new eviction graphic and I've uploaded part one and part two of Eric trying to convince the others that Kail must leave tonight (on YouTube).
I'll be live-blogging tonight's live show as it airs here on the East Coast. A new post will be up within a few minutes of the show's start and will constantly be updated throughout the hour. You're all welcome to join me in the comments area! Make sure you have snacks and beverages. This is a BYOB event!
If you're a So You Think You Can Dance fan, I won't be live-blogging it, per se. However I will write up the important events -- who's in the bottom groups -- and the boot as it airs here on the East Coast. Again, comments and reactions are always welcome!
Here are today's happenings from that Big Brother House of Nervous Nellies and Crying Ambers:
- The anti-Nick sentiment in the house continues to grow. Well, not so much with Daniele, but with others. He's been snapping at people a lot and some think he's trying intimidation tactics.
- Eric and Dick think that Dustin is trying to play nice with Kail to keep on her good side so he can play either side.
- Dick told Daniele that everyone wants Nick out next week. She told him if she gets HOH, she won't put him on the block. They believe Dustin is the leak giving Kail information.
- Most of the day was spent napping, housecleaning, and primping.
- Jen told Amber that she had asked for a lot of things others in the house want in case she wins HOH -- a bible and such. (Wonder why the burst of thoughtfulness? She's gotta be up to something!)
- As I post this, they're basically sitting around waiting for the live show to get started.
I think Nick wants to be a pirate. He may do that better than be a success on Big Brother 8!
