I'm Jackie and I watch TV. I'm not proud. Bookmark the blog now as your source for live feed reports from inside the 'Big Brother' house! Come, join in on the fun ...
I posted an article about Endemol banning banner planes flying over the house over on TV Squad. Feel free to give it a gander and a squawk! A hearty thanks to the commenters who linked the TMZ article in comments!
In the house, the biggest happening was that after Dustin told Zach not to trust the Donatos (Dick and Daniele) and tried to swing him to vote to evict Kail, Zach ran to Dick and Daniele and told them all about it.
Dick approached Dustin in the bathroom and lit into him about there aren't two sides, he knows he's been saying not to trust the Donatos, he (Dustin) chose greed over his alliance and on and on. Dustin looked terrified, but stared right back at Dick and all but said, "So...?" Unfortunately, I was too late on the trigger to record the Dick confrontation, but I got the aftermath where the rocket scientists figured out they don't have Zach on their side.
Not that there's two sides, mind you. Yeah, right!
In other news from the Big Brother House of Fools:
Now Dick decides he's always hated Dustin. (Um, wasn't Dustin his confidant just a few days ago?)
Dustin told Amber that Joe was heavy into drugs.
Amber thinks Eric is trying to pit her and Jessica against each other.
Dustin told Amber she needs to keep her emotions in check and under control. (Like that will ever happen!)
Amber is so mad at Eric about repeating her personal information (which she told on the Internet) that if not for swearing on her daughter's life, she would vote for him to leave. Amber told Dustin all about Dick telling her what Eric was saying about her.
Argh, do these shows think we haven't watched all season? All of the reality shows feel a need to recap the entire season for a huge cheunk of thime each finale. I saw it already ... get to the meat in the kitchen, please!
This post will be updated throughout the show. Once they get into the show, that is! So, check back throughout the hour and feel free to jump in with your thoughts in the comments area!
I'm still finding it hard to believe that Bonnie made it into the final two. I personally would have preferred Julie in there if they have someone without "fine dining" restaurant experience.
Aw, they get to spend time with their families. Rock's children are cute.
Rock and Bonnie have the design your own restaurant task at hand as Hell's Kitchen is split it two for them. Bonnie thinks she's a force to be reckoned with and it's too late for Rick. She also mentioned she flew under the radar. That she did, I'll say.
Bonnie likesn the task to being given a life-sized dollhouse and a credit card. Rock is determined to win. Rock wants the basics in decor while Bonnie wants special touches. Bonnie wants black suits on the wait staff and, much to Jean Phillipe's chagrin, Rock suggested jeans. Thankfully he was shot down.
Bonnie seems to have more of a plan than Rock does. He's choking under pressure, but I don't think that will last. Both go off to Las Vegas to check out the Green Valley Ranch Resort where one will be running the restaurant.
I like the jet! Heh, Gordon Ramsay mentioned Rock's hissy-fit. Rock balked at that! Ramsay is talking about how they've both done throughout the game. We may as well have another recap.
It is a gorgeous place. They walk in and see themselves on a promo throughout the hotel. They went out for a quiet drink with Ramsay and ended up on stage. Each wannabe have thirty minutes to create a dish which represents their signature style. Bonnie did shrimp and pasta while Rock went for surf and turf. They'll be judges by the group of seven VIP judges, reknowned chefs.
Bonnie won the first one over. Rock thinks she flirted to win. Rock got the second one. Bonnie won the third. Robin Leach is the next judge up -- he goes with Bonnie. She only needs one more vote to win the challenge. Michael, the winner of the first season gave his vote to Rock. Now it's Heather from last year judging... she votes Rock. Deciding vote is the folks from the resort where one will work -- they go with Bonnie! Amazing!
Now they're privately shmoozing and boozing with Ramsay. He has a little surprise for them -- trip to NYC for a few days to go the Ramsay's chef's table.
Sheesh, they must be planning the last part into an itsy segmant. As I type this, there's only ten minutes left and the restaurants have barely been touched on although we saw speeded up video of them.
Finally, it's to the important part -- the last six eliminated chefs show up to help them out. Julia is upset, disappointed in herself Rock thinks. Poor Julia. She tells us she came into the game to win.
The two pick their teams. Bonnie goes with the girls. Julia tells us she wants Rock to win.
Part 2 of the Season Finale will air next week and I'll be there. Er, here. It looks like mass chaos again. The promo calls it the closest finish ever. Um ... okay.
Here are the happenings from that Big Brother House of Love:
Early this morning, Jessica asked Eric if he celebrates Thanksgiving. Well, he's Jewish, you know. (Thumping my head on my keyboard.)
Jessica also thinks you should never fight a black girl because they're crazy.
Then she admitted she never talked to a black person.
Dustin told her he daily talks with more folks of diversity than white people.
Eric thinks a few hundred, maybe a few thousand, live feed watchers stay up during the night to watch them.
Kail told Jen that if Eric goes on the block with her, she'll probably go home. Jen told her that people were just saying Eric had the vote to make him feel better.
Jen told her that she (Jen) said too much last night. She admitted to Kail that she told people (D&D) that Eric was never in an alliance with Kail.
Jen told Kail that she thinks Eric mustarded her shirt to set up Dick.
Kail felt bad for Eric when Evel was "calling him out." (I'd call it raging on him!)
Kail doesn't think Eric is working with anyone, but feels that since he has watched all the reality shows, he must be aligned with someone. (Yeah, America's Silliness.)
Kail can't understand why Evel turned so quickly and radically against Eric.
When Kail told Jen that Dustin told her that Zach would have to go on the block for her to be safe, Jen told her that wasn't going to happen.
Jen told Dustin that she can't see why Daniele doesn't see that the best person for her to put on the block would be Dick.
Dustin pushed the Daniele lied to Kail Card (because she said Kail would go on the block, but not home) in an effort to get her to nominate Zach instead of Eric. (Y'see, it's all good for Dustin if Kail stays. He's the leak!)
Jen said, "If everyone fun leaves, what's the point of being here?" (Um... a half-million dollars maybe?)
Daniele told Dick that she's worried that putting Eric on the block will come back to haunt her, but she doesn't see any way out of it.
Amber told Jessica that Jewish people are all money hungry. @@ She also said nasty things about New Yorkers. Double @@
Dick told Kail that if he doesn't get HOH this week, he's sure to be on the block. He also hinted there were others he wants out more than he wants her out.
Jameka gave her word to Eric that she'll vote Kail out to keep him in the house. Well, we know that's a sure vote!
Then the POV Meeting went down -- results are that Jen removed herself from the block and Daniele put Eric in her place. (So much for a huge surprise!)
Dustin told Zach (right after Daniele worried where Zach was) that the votes will have Kail go home this week. Zach appreciated the heads-up, but is in a quandary between voting for someone who hasn't had a conversation with him ever (Eric) or someone who betrayed him (Kail). He told Dustin he was still thinking and hadn't made up his mind. He also told Dustin that he had said the same to Dick. He also has to consider his dedication to finding Nick's killer... er, you know!
Amber gets nervous when Jessica sees her and Eric talking. She probably cries about it later on.
The POV ceremony has been held. So far I see no shock and awe, so she couldn't have put Dick up in Jen's place!
I'll update this post as soon as I can confirm who's on the block. My guess is Eric since no one's acting too surprised.
And here it is: Eric and Kail are on the block -- Daniele blamed Eric in the meeting for sending Nick home. The LNC Remainders seem intact. But there's still time! Eric asked his buddies if he can be unsportsmanlike and do a little dance when the votes come in on Thursday.
Graphic artist Zoetawny asks if Eric is cracking under the pressure.
Well, watching the feeds into the wee hours, it doesn't seem like he is. As a matter of fact, right now he seems rather stable.
Of course, that could change at any minute!
At the moment, it looks like the Dustin Five is going with the plan to vote out Kail if Eric is put on the block in Jen's place.
Here are the latest happenings from that Big Brother House of Cards:
Dick again accused Eric of masterminding Nick's eviction.
Dick also doesn't trust Amber and is badmouthing her.
Jen is perpetrating the Eric issue by telling people he said she was his #1 and tells her all kinds of information.
Jen then told Daniele that it's been Dustin telling Kail everything. (Now that's more right.)
Jen said that Amber is a compulsive crier (duh!). She also says Amber must have been the odd vote last week because she didn't cry over voting out Nick (although she surely cried once he was gone).
Daniele told Jen that she knew that Eric would get to Jessica and get her on his side. They need another vote and must work on Jameka.
Jen talked about how much she doesn't trust Dustin, but Daniele says they definitely don't have the votes to get him out this week.
Dustin told Kail that Jen is lying and (paraphrasing) throwing her under the bus.
Dick told Daniele if she puts Eric up, Kail will go home. Daniele fussed that she has no friends and wants to go home. She also doesn't trust Jen even though they (D&D) have been talking with her. She wants no deals with Jen.
Dick wants Kail gone still, but also Eric, Dustin, and Amber. Um, okay... half the house! ;-)
Dick and Eric had another fight -- not physical. Eric held his ground with Dick.
Dick told Eric he was going up on the block, it's already a done deal. So much for Daniele's big shocker, eh? Unless she has another plan...!
Dick's temper is working against him in the house. (Duh!)
Kail said that, for the record, she never had a deal with Eric. That backs up Eric in the eyes of the house majority.
Dustin aksed Daniele if she would ever consider putting her father on the block. She was taken aback at that and asked why -- "just to make all of you happy?"
Dustin told his bunch that Daniele will never make it to the final two if she doesn't put Dick on the block.
Dick told Amber he never lied to her.
Eric and Kail talked with Jessica and Jen sitting in. Eric said Dick is a lunatic. Kail thinks he's an escaped mental patient. Eric said he won't back down from Dick.
Eric told Jen that she lied and sold him out to Dick.
Amber cried.
Amber told Daniele she honestly doesn't know right now who she would vote for if Eric went on the block.
Dustin told Dick that he (Dick) was running Daniele's HOH with his attitude.
Dustin told Kail that he threw HOH because he knew she didn't want to go on slop.
Jessica and Jameka think Eric is bold in saying he'll stay this week. But then they both said they need him right now and can't flipflop on the vote.
Neither trust either Eric or Dick.
Jameka thinks Dustin is becoming more aggressive.
Jameka thinks Eric has been throwing the comps all along.
Daniele told Dick that Dustin suggested she put him on the block. He's now outraged at him and says he's going on the block next.
Daniele begged him not to say anything.
Dick can't believe he and Daniele are in an alliance with Shrek (Zach) and Jen.
Eric trashtalked Amber to Jessica. (Now, what's going on in his head. He should just trashmouth Dick or others not in "his group" at this time. He definitely shouldn't alienate any of his possible votes to stay!)
Kail told Daniele that if she puts Eric on the block with her, she'll go home.
Daniele told her that was possible, but wasn't her intention. (She promised Kail that she wouldn't go home this week!)
Dick talked to Dustin and tried to turn him against Eric. It didn't seem to work.
It's been mostly small talk and chitter-chatter as the night goes on.
At this time it still looks like Daniele will put Eric on the block if Jen removes herself from said block. And, it also looks like if it's Eric and Kail, it will be Kail going home.
