Make My Pants Purple! - This Week on 'The Late Show with David Letterman' - July 30-Aug. 3, 2007

What's this? Yet another week of fresh pants ahead of us?

Why, yes it is! I know Dave will probably take another week off soon, but it's not this one. Cool, I say.

Here are the scheduled guests this week as listed on the CBS website:

• Monday, July 30: Andy Samberg promoting Hot Rod, musical guests The Bravery (CD is The Sun and the Moon), and (get this) PBA bowling on 53rd Street! I think the bowling will be the hit of this show.
• Tuesday, July 31: Senator Joe Biden (author of Promises to Keep), actor Seth Rogen promoting Superbad, musical guest Gogol Bordello (CD is Super Taranta!). Um. Okay.
• Wednesday, August 1: Matt Damon (The Bourne Ultimatum), comedian Jeff Altman, musical guest Angelique Kidjo whose CD is Djin Djin. Djokay, djokay.
• Thursday, August 2: Al Franken, Jackie Chan promoting Rush Hour 3 and Michael Buble. Sorry, I'm not on the Buble train. Give me the real deal, please.
• Friday, August 3: Glenn Close (Damages), Judd Apatow (Superbad) and musical guests Chris and Rich Robinson (from the Black Crowes) whose CD is Brothers of a Feather: Live at the Roxy.

Well. I don't think this week is going to be one for the records for me. Thankfully, the Top Ten lists and general Dave tomfoolery will save the week.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Report - Into Saturday Evening, 7/28

Now, you know that graphic artist Zoetawny couldn't let the JenBot cry without capturing an image, right?

And Jameka won POV, eh?

Meanwhile, it was muggy and bleh here in the Northeast. I hate muggy and bleh.

I may have to cry!

Here are the happenings from inside that Big Brother House of 96 Tears (yeah, I'm aging myself with that one ... you're gonna cry -- cry, cry, cry 96 tears...):

• Early this morning Kail reported to Dustin every single instance of every single duo or larger group of houseguests who talked together. @@
• BB woke them all up early today in anticipation of the POV competition.
• Kail told Jen she thought she'd have to throw the POV comp in order for Jen to win it and save herself. Kail feels that if she's on the block with Zach, she'll stay in the house. (I'm sure this has absolutely nothing to do with Dustin telling her she's safe this week. Right?)
• Jen and Kail think that Dustin may be planning to backdoor Daniele. (I don't think so!)
• There is still a foul smell in the yard although the ChenBat lives.
• Jen helped Kail study for the POV comp since she remembers each day and Kail is clueless.
• After the feeds returned post-POV comp, Dick thought Jen threw the comp because she gave up when Jameka was ahead. He also thinks Dustin didn't try hard enough to win.
• Both Jen and Dustin took prizes in lieu of the veto. Dustin "bought" $5,000. He apologized to Jameka for taking it and not trying to win the veto.
• Jameka told Amber that God had already ordained who would win the POV.
• Jameka also told Amber that she had given Jen her word that she would take her off the block with it. So, she will do so.
• Amber cried. This time it was because she doesn't want Jen to come off the block.
• Jessica told Eric that Jewish and Amish are alike because they both wear hats. (Snicker.)
• Dick told Dustin that he thinks Kail will go home if she's on the block with Zach. She did something (during the comp?) which ticked folks off.
• Dustin again told Kail she's safe -- he wants Zach out.
• Kail badmouthed Dick to Dustin, but he seemed to take it all with a grain of salt.
• Kail told Dustin that she thinks Daniele was the second vote to evict her instead of Mike.
• Daniele is mad at Dustin for "winning all the prizes" in the POV comp instead of playing to win.
• Dick told Daniele that Eric is going to be the hardest person to get out of the house -- he's smart and the best player in the house.
• Amber cried. This time it was to Eric about Dustin's behavior in the POV comp. She feels he threw it on purpose.
• Amber cried. This time it was because Dustin won a trip.
• Jameka and Dustin are talking as I post this. She's fine with his actions during the POV comp and says she'll be using the veto to save Jen as she promised.
  

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Bulletin! - POV Winner

Jameka won the POV competition. Earlier, she had said if she won, she'd take Jen off the block. I guess we'll see!

A full update will be posted late tonight with the day's events.

Latest on TV Squad

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.
