'Big Brother 8' - Sunday 7/29 Show - Live-Blogged from the East Coast
The show is starting here on the East Coast. Right now it's still in recap mode. But, as it airs I'll update this post with the happenings. Please refresh the page to see the latest!
As always, with the live-blogging, please forgive any typos and misspellings. I'm not a JenBot! ;-)
And, as always, feel free to give me your reactions in the comments section! Hip-waders ready? Let's get to it!
Evel (or just a guy named ED) is accusing Jen of being the second vote for Kail to go. The house is in an uproar over that second vote. Jen? Nick? Anybody but Eric, eh? Amber thinks that Nick is playing both sides, Dustin also thinks it was Nick. Actually, though Eric isn't my favorite player, he did do that one well. No one suspects him at all.
Amber cried because she's so happy Dustin won HOH. Kail makes the word "toward" into two distinct syllables. Jen thinks she's "all right" with Dustin as HOH. The HOH room is a celebration indeed. His graduation pictues and family photos. Amber smiles. Kail thinks his parents look like they accept Dustin for who he is. Um, okay. That sort of should be a given with parents. Hey, Kail, he's gay. He's not committing crimes or a druggie or a thief.
Oh, gosh... now Dustin's crying.
Amber said she thinks the same of her dog (if not more) that she does her daughter. Ack. Dick called her on it. I have two cats I love dearly, but sheesh! If I had a child, I'd have to put the child before my pet! Dick has a point. When you don't have children or your children are grown, that's when your pets step in the role. They're a part of the family, but even I (a true pet lover) would have to say your children should always come first! Of course, I'm one who thinks lots of folks have children who shouldn't even have pets, but... that's another topic for another day!
Dick told us about the Dick at Night Show -- something I always look forward to on the feeds. He rigged the kitchen faucet to spray and caught Daniele.
Zach tells a story about a weird offensively twisted thing he did at a comics convention. Now, I'm a comics fan. I've been to comics conventions. The most notable thing I've seen was a bunch of Klingons eating at Horton Plaza in San Diego. So, this leads onto how annoyed the HG are at Zach.
More on the Dick and Daniele relationship. I really have to take Dick's side a bit more than Daniele's. However, I don't think the BB house is quite the place to work out their problems. Dick is certainly trying to make amends. You can tell he loves his daughter.
I feel uncomfortable watching these bits. It's like BB is having cash flow due to their very real problems. I do think Dick really cares a lot, though. And, for Daniele, he can't be an easy guy to have as a father, but hopefully she knows deep down inside that he loves her.
Now Eric is teaching Jessica how to dance. He actually flipped her and caught her. He's so not ready for Dancing With the Stars.
The food comp is on -- The Humpty Scramble, they're paired up. Ericc and Zach, Nick and Daniele, Kail and Evel. They're costumed up. Humpty Dumpty bottom and his legs, puzzle pieces. Dustin, looking like the Imperial Margarine King, eplained the rules. Jameka and Jessica are partners.
Jessica and Jameka finished first and won the competition. They get to choose five subjects to be placed on slop for the remainder of the week. They chose Dick because he hadn't been on slop. He also had volunteered to do so on the feeds. They chose Zach after acting like they were going to Eric. They chose Zach because Jameka doesn't like him. Kail. Nick next. Jen. JenBot is happy about it it becuase it may control her weight.
Dick started asking Jen if she had a boob job. She looks confused.. She won't confirm or deny the boob job. But she keeps looking at her chest as if it will tell her.
Dustin talks to Kail and she gives him advice. @@ She wants to win him over. "Kail is a tool for me. She's weak, feeble, desperate and annoying... and I'm in a position of power."
It's Jensa Member's turn to talk to Dustin. He accuses her of voting to evict Kail as the second vote. She denies it. She said maybe the same person did both deeds -- the mustarding and the vote. She said if he puts Zach up against anyone, he'll go home.
As America's Player, Eric should get Jen nominated for eviction. Eric puts it out as fact that Jen and Zach were the two votes against the house wishes. Kail and Jen, Nick and Zach... the pairings which must leave the house.
America's Player: Which catch phrase should Eric get going in the house?
Sweet chicken!
Booyakah!
I'd do that for a dollar!
Well, that's pretty stupid. I want the phrase to be "And Amber cried."
It's time for Dustin to make his decision. Zach is confident and almost threatening in his DR bit to us. Kail is worried. Nick feels safe.
The key order:
Based on competitiveness and strategy... Amber is safe. Jessica is safe. Dick is safe. Jameka is safe. Nick is safe. Zach is safe. Daniele is safe. Eric is safe.
Jen and Kail nominated. Jen -- strong competitor, Kail -- questionable behavior over the past week.
Dustin tells us that Kail is not a pawn and he wants her to go home. JenBot cries.
OMG - In the last shot of the show Kail has this odd pasted smile on her face like a mix of Betty White's Sue Ann Nivens (sp?) character on Mary Tyler Moore and a Stepford Wife.
I'm gonna have nightmares tonight!
'Big Brother 8' - Sunday (So Far) Live Feeds Report - 7/29
<--- Dustin goes for the mandana with the nasty grey v-neck look as he talks with Zach. Zach thinks this eviction would be the perfect opportunity to get Dick out of the house. He also thinks that if he himself goes up against Kail, he (Zach) would go home. Zach also thinks that Kail has "made a deal with the Devil" -- Dick. Dustin isn't committing anything to Zach as they talk, though.
He SO needs a fashion designer. I'm not one to talk, but I refrain from television appearances!
Here are the day's happenings so far from inside that Big Brother House of No Guts No Glory:
- Amber cried. Feeling betrayed by Dustin's doings in the POV competition, told Jameka it will be herself, Eric, Jameka, and Jessica in the Final Four. Well, I can see possibilities for three of them in there, but tough luck Amber. She has to wear thin enough on the others well before then to get booted. Please!
- Daniele thinks she should tell Nick he's going home after Monday's POV ceremony.
- Kail thinks Jessica will never win a comp but has a great strategy -- eats, sleeps, drinks, and doesn't make enemies. Kail wishes she had thought of that first.
- Jen thinks that if Jessica wins a HOH, she won't put her up because she wants to use her outside of the house as a modeling contact.
- Jen said that Vanna White's house (where she is a nanny) has an indoor theater, maid quarters, and a wine cellar.
- Kail thinks Dick is wealthy, Jen thinks he isn't. (But does Jen know Kail owns a town?)
- Jen thinks NY is dirty "like a third-world country." (Argh! Just when I was sort of kind of liking her! NYC is SO much cleaner than it was in the 60s and 70s, so much safer than it was in those decades and the 80s, and DIVERSITY in cultures does NOT make for a "third world country." Grr.)
- Kail actually asked Jen if Vanna White and her family go to church regularly. Whose business would that be? Jen shouldn't have answered the question, but told her they didn't -- that it's hard for a celebrity to do something like that.
- Nick asked Dustin if he thought Jameka would use the veto. Dustin said she's a woman of her word and he's sure she will use it.
- Nick asked him if he was putting Zach on the block in Jen's place. Dustin told him he was pretty sure he would.
- Eric thinks that they're all in the house because they failed the pre-screen psychological testing. Heh.
- Eric tried to work his ways in getting in on the good side of Daniele. He actually wanted to get her to stop from telling Nick that he will be voted out. But, it's all about trust, right?
- Dustin told Zach he'd put up either him, Dick, Daniele, or Nick if Jameka uses the veto. (Looks like Nick still -- it's just no way is Dustin telling either Nick or Zach beforehand!)
'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds/TV Squad Update
My latest post on TV Squad has some of the overnight events covered. Stop by and make some noise ... or cry if you must!
I'll be updating here again later today after they wake up.
I'll be updating here again later today after they wake up.
Make My Pants Purple! - This Week on 'The Late Show with David Letterman' - July 30-Aug. 3, 2007
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.
