My latest post is up over on TV Squad!

I ask some questions at the end. Let me know your thoughts!

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Doings - Late Night/Overnight Into Saturday, 7/28

The Jensa Member or as I like to call her, the JenBot, has gathered her emotions and sealed them inside once again.

This update will catch you up on what's happened since the nominations ceremony.

It's not pretty.

• Kail thinks that if either of them win POV, Zach will go on the block. Kail has that right.
• Amber told Dustin she caught Nick comforting Jen. (Oh, my!)
• Dustin says he gave Jen many chances to tell him Nick was the informant leaking information to her and she didn't.
• Dustin's mad now and wants Jen and Nick out before Kail and Zach.
• He told Kail they plan to backdoor someone, but didn't tell her the target. (Nonetheless, I don't think he should be telling Kail she's safe this week!)
• Nick told Dustin that Zach told him he had a deal with Dustin and Amber since the first week.
• Dick advised Zach that if he wins the POV, it's in his best interest to let the nominations remain the same.
• Jen told Dustin she wished he had given her a heads up that she might be on the block. She was surprised and hurt.
• Power of Veto is to be played out Saturday (I might not be able to update until evening if it's played early).
• Dick reminded people they didn't vote for Kail to stay, they voted for Mike to leave. (I say it's all semantics!)
• They think the POV will be about missing things from the house.
• Amber told Jameka that Eric talked to her over an hour today and convinced her that Nick has to go. (This could be the America's Player play? Maybe? I haven't seen him doing much campaigning like he did last week against Kail.)
• Dustin is upset that people don't go with him on wanting Zach out of the house. Remember, he told Amber he wouldn't put Nick on the block as per her wishes.
• Daniele said that if she wins POV, she would let the nominees remain the same. I believe she's worried about Nick going up in the place of one.
• Dustin thinks only two people would save Jen with the POV -- Jen herself and Jameka.
• There's now confusion with who the group wants to target. Dick thought the collective group wants Kail out and Dustin said he'd use the POV to save Jen if he wins it. (I'm SO confused!)
• The Dustin Collective think it will be funny if Zach gets backdoored this week and then Jen and Kail are put on the block again next week for the third week in a row.
• Amber thinks Nick is playing both sides (duh) and Daniele told her that she knows it.
• Eric, Jessica, and Jameka had a long talk about not trusting Nick. (Can we say America's Player yet?)
• Jameka thought it odd that Julie Chen asked her about being quiet on the live show.
• They talked a lot about the physical endowment of the male houseguests. Does size really matter? :X
• Dick thinks Eric threw the HOH comp because he wants to keep Dustin and Amber happy for now. (Eric is passing off his performance as "went buzzer crazy.")

That's all for now. The HG are all asleep as I post this.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Bulletin - Nominations Are In

And then Jen cried.

After a long feeds block, we're back in the house.

Dustin spoke the truth to his house buddies. It's Jen and Kail on the block. He's told Kail that she's a pawn and should act all flustered the same as she did last week.

JenBot, in a human moment, is hurt. She said she's not so worried about going home, but feels hurt by the events.

'Big Brother 8' - Friday Into the Afternoon Live Feeds Report - 7/27

D'oh! It's Amber! And, mind you, she's not crying!

Okay, the shirt says Ooh La La, but I prefer to think of it as D'oh! La La.

The nominations haven't gone down yet in the house, but that doesn't mean there isn't any news!

Here are today's events from that Big Brother House of Lonesome Losers:

• That sneaky Eric has pretty much convinced the majority of the house that Nick was responsible for both the Jen mustard incident and the second vote for Kail to leave instead of Mike.
• Amber wants Zach to go, Nick to stay.
• Early group think has Kail and Zach on the block, with Zach the target.
• Or, another scenario -- Jen and Kail on the block, Zach backdoored.
• Eric told the group that the target housemates shouldn't be listened to as they'll try to stir up problems. Those targets are Kail, Zach, Nick, and Jen.
• Dick thinks much better of Dustin because he's including the group in his plans.
• Amber thinks that Nick is the least dangerous of the four targets. (She's probably right.) Dick said he's dangerous to the group and that her reasons are personal, not strategic.
• Meanwhile, Dick said that as a dad he can't trust a word Nick says. (Now who's being personal?)
• Amber confronted Dick with her accusation that he doesn't wash his hands after using the bathroom. He denied it, said he rinses them and doesn't pee on his hand.
• Dustin told Amber that he's putting his trust in her by not putting Nick on the block this week -- it goes against what the group wants.
• Kail told Dustin that he doesn't want to be in the final two with Dick and that Dick and Daniele are talking game strategy ALL the time.
• Dustin told Kail he'll be putting her on the block as a pawn.
• When Dustin questioned Kail about Jen, Kail said Jen tried to squirm into her alliance by sleeping in the room with her.
• The food comp was held, blocked from the live feeds. Amber was dressed as the Queen of Hearts and it was a puzzle comp -- egg-shaped puzzle pieces. It seems Kail, Dick and Jen are on slop. Eric and Jessica were on the winning team. I'm not sure on the others.
• Amber and Dick verbally sparred... again. Dustin tried to talk sense into Dick about calming down and not being so forceful with her.
• Dustin said he will definitely be putting Jen and Kail on the block.
• And Amber cried.
• Eric and Dick had their own private Amber Bash. Amber wasn't present or...
• ... Amber would cry.
• Eric told Dick he doesn't trust Amber and Dustin's being a bit shady.

That's where we stand right now. When the nominations are in, I'll let you know. But it looks like Kail and Jen will be put on the block and a backdoor of Nick if POV is won and used to save one.

'Big Brother 8' - Through the Wee Hours Into Friday, July 27

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.
