'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Into Tuesday 8/07

This is just a quick report as nothing has changed too much in the house since the last entries:
  • Kail thinks she's going home, but wonders why Daniele and Dick are so angry about the Nick vote when they voted to save her.
  • Jessica and Eric joked about getting married after the show.
  • For a change, houseguests trashmouthed each other.
  • Amber told Jameka that Kail needs to go home anyway.
  • Daniele wants the America's Choice to happen.
  • Zach told Dick to be careful about repeating what he says to him as it puts him in a compromising position. (This was about his "Don't trust the Donatos"confrontation with Dustin.) Zach, "I don't really care because he's gay."

'Big Brother 8' - Latest TV Squad Post!

I also have a new feeds update report over on TV Squad.

What can I say? It keeps me off the streets and out of trouble.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Report and Video

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.

'Hell's Kitchen' - Season Finale Part 1- Live-Blogged from the East Coast

Hell's Kitchen
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.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Monday 8/06


And Amber cried.

There. That's today's update.

;-)

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.
That's your skinny!
