'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds - Through the Day Friday 8/03

<--- Eric tries to work things out with Jessica. I don't envy him his position. If anything, he should be crying, not Amber.

The Nominations Ceremony is looming ahead, but there was a lot going on in the house today without it.

Here's what happened in the Big Brother House of Vamps and Vampire Bats:

• Daniele and Dick came up with a plan to backdoor Eric. They told Jessica.
• At first Jessica tried to tell Eric without mentioning his name, then she spilled the entire can of beans to him.
• Eric told Jessica that he'd like to sit Jen down with most of the LNC (sans Dick and Daniele), let everyone know the backdoor plan and take Jen in with them as she really wants to be a part of the group. (A sidenote from me -- have you noticed that Jen ALWAYS votes the house vote? I find it very weird that she's supposedly so separate, yet always goes with the majority vote.)
• Eric thinks that she would be good for their numbers, she's good in comps, and she's certainly someone anyone could beat in the final two.
• Evel kept at Jessica to not trust Eric.
• In a long ranting about everyone talk Evel Dick had with Jessica, he made it look like Eric's his next target because he feels that Eric convinced them to save Kail the first time and the stray votes.
• Evel likened Eric to the TV character "Columbo." That was Peter Falk and a bumbling but very wise detective for young'uns reading this.
• There was no food comp today. I think that's because they never know how long an endurance comp may run and it's easier to plan to skip it rather than have it on standby.
• Eric and Dick had a big blow-up. Dick said Nick told him things (about Eric, I presume) before he left. Dick said Nick denied being the second vote for Kail the week before. Eric became impressively outraged at the thought he was being accused.
• Eric ranted an anti-Nick riot act at Dick in an effort to make him believe Nick was the leak and the vote.
• Others in the group -- Jameka and Dustin -- came to Eric's side to help.
• Even Daniele tried to calm Dick.
• Eric wouldn't back down from Dick even when Dick threw the hammock. Eric said he remained true to his alliance. (Little does his alliance there know that America is his first alliance.)
• Jameka pointed out that it could be different people casting the odd vote each week for personal reasons, not a conspiracy.
• Zach is the one who finally stopped all the bickering. He announced he has ringworm, so they freaked out about that instead of the house business.
• Most say he got it because he doesn't wash his hands.
• Dustin wants the final five to be himself, Eric, Jameka, Jessica, and Amber.
• That, of course, means that Dick and Daniele are on the outs of the main group.
• Dustin is also upset that Daniele didn't talk to any of the LNC about nominations. (I personally think that's fair as no one included her or listened to her about Nick last week. I don't blame her on that one at all.)
• It seems the Jen and Kail on the block, backdoor Eric if POV saves one, plan is still on by Dick and Daniele.
• Jen went to Daniele and told her she wants to be nominated because she's going for a record.
• They actually made a little personal headway discussing where they both went wrong with dealing with each other.
• Jen admitted to throwing the POV last week so Jameka would win.
• Jen asked Daniele if she was the other vote to save Nick. Daniele told her no.
• Jen told Daniele that the group that she, Kail, and Zach are not a part of is already turning into smaller groups and will eventually turn on each other. (See! I've said all along Jen is definitely not a dummy when it comes to the game!)
• Jen told her that she knows she's the target, but has some things to tell her after the nominations.
• Jen left and Dick went at her again. Sigh.
• Dick thinks Kail was in on setting up Nick to leave. Um... DICK was in on it, sheesh!
• Dick thinks Eric is a bigger threat than Zach, Kail, or Jen.
• He told Amber not to trust the LNC. Amber, forever the wimp, agreed.
• Meanwhile, Eric went to Jen and Kail and told them he thinks they'll get nominated and the plan is to backdoor him.
• Dustin told Dick he lacks tact. You don't say!
• Amber told Jameka that Dustin was the leak -- he's the one who told Kail she was safe.
• Eric and Jessica have re-teamed up, it seems. They want to work to get Daniele and Dick out of the house.

As I post this, the feeds have been blocked for some time. It should be the nominations ceremony. When I know, you'll know! :-)

It's not up as I post this, but I have a new feeds entry on TV Squad in the publishing queue. You can find it using this link when it goes online.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Report - Into Friday Morning 8/03

Whoa! Lotsa news! Get yer updates!

In the HOH comp last night, after it was down to Kail, Jen, and Daniele apparently Jen was disqualified leaving it between Kail and Daniele. Daniele said she would be there all night and offered Kail a deal -- she might have to put her on the block, but she won't go home.

Kail took the deal and Daniele is the new HOH.

But that's only a part of the news. When the feeds were blocked for so long, what actually happened was that a banner plane flew above. The banner flown said that "Eric and Amber are liars."

Here's what transpired after the comp in that Big Brother House of Ill Winds:

• Amber cried.
• Dick thinks there's a leak in the group because Kail knew she wasn't leaving this week. (Um... Dustin!)
• Daniele told Jameka she didn't vote for Nick to stay. If it wasn't Jen, it was someone in their own group.
• Jameka was very upset about Nick going home and felt it was her fault. Daniele told her it was Dustin's fault.
• Daniele said everyone knows they evicted the wrong person. She had tried to save him.
• Jessica admitted that she threw the comp, but didn't think she could last as long as the other three did anyway.
• Amber cried. "The people who flew the banner are trying to make me and Eric look bad because we're so honest!"
• Apparently, not all read the banner. Jen, Eric and Dustin were talking. Jen said it wasn't fair that some know and some don't.
• Jen said that she got down (feeds blocked) while the producers reviewed the tapes to disqualify her.
• Daniele got her HOH room and dedicated it to Nick. She was happy with her basket of goodies and letters from home. Yes, she got a letter from and pictures of Kris (the boyfriend).
• Evel lingered in the HOH room after the others left. Daniele told him that she thinks Eric was responsible for the odd votes.
• Dick and Daniele hugged and told each other that they love each other. Touching, indeed.
• Daniele has been getting closer to Jessica, she told her father. Both think Eric is "sketchy."
• Eric tried to cover with Dick claiming he couldn't be the votes because he was the most vocal against them. He wants to let the conspiracy issues (raised by the plane) stay aside and focus on the game.
• Amber and Eric talked more about the banner plane. It said that the LNC is the Nerd Herd (see season 6), Nick is loved, Eric and Amber lie.
• When Kail and Jen talked about the banner, Kail thought it had said Eric and Daniele are liars.
• Eric's really trying to backpedal. He's nervous and jumpy again.
• Eric said the DR apologized to him about the incident, but it does no good.
• Dick is sure that Eric was the odd vote and responsible for both Jen and Kail remaining in the house. (Now, mind you... the odd votes cast didn't affect who went home. Dick is just freaking out.)
• The alliances have changed. Now Dick, Daniele, Jessica and Zach are aligned. %$# the LNC says Dick.
• Daniele and Dick are convinced that Eric has been in an alliance since week one with Kail and Jen.
• Eric is still denying he was the odd vote.
• Jessica said Jen told her that the DR told her there's to be a luxury comp tomorrow (today). Dick is suspicious because the DR told her and no one else.
• Jessica talked to Dustin, didn't tell him the talk with Daniele and Dick, but said she thought Eric was the leak.
• Eric is crumbling away minute by minute.
• Amber cried.
• Dustin assured Amber that he trusts her and Eric the most -- "Eric doesn't have it in him to lie."
• Amber cried.
• Amber told Dustin that Eric hates Dick and wants him to go home.
• Eric is still trying to get back in with Dick and party -- saying that they have to take out Dustin, Amber and Jameka.
• The tide seems to be turning with Evel and party -- it's swinging to Kail being the target. This is dizzying!
• Dick wants Dustin to watch to see who talks to Jen or Kail.

Oh, my. What a night!

UPDATE: Jessica told Eric that the DR tried to convince her he had no part in the odd votes.

'Big Brother 8' - NEW HOH!

Daniele won! She made a deal to not send Kail home.

'Big Brother 8' - 8/02 Endurance HOH Comp Update

This is a quad cam screen cap taken a few minutes ago. Right now it's still Daniele, Kail, and Jen hanging in there. Jameka is encouraging Kail, but then cheers them all.

Dick and Jen got into it again and Eric blew up at Jen -- told her if she had a problem with Dick, take it up with Dick and stop being rude to Daniele.

BB is intermittently tossing the goop on them.
