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 took this screen cap yesterday as the houseguests played with the HOH camera. Eric was noticeably absent. I wrote an article about Amber's anti-Semitic remarks hitting the newswires -- that should be up on TV Squad later this morning.
Although Eric talked to most of his ex-group yesterday and he took it as promising, I don't think it will count as a done deal until it's done.
Jameka will vote to evict Kail because she promised him and won't go back on her word. Amber will vote for Kail to leave because she swore she would on her daughter's life.
Jessica told him she would vote to keep him, but has also told Dick's group otherwise. But then she tried to convince Amber that Eric is indeed on their side and it would be a smart move to keep him.
Dustin told him he'd vote to keep him, but told Dick's group and Kail otherwise. He also made a comment to Kail that if there's an odd unaccounted vote to keep Eric, they'll know it's Dick. It's possible he's setting the scene for an Eric stay and blame it on Dick, but it's hard to tell.
Jen says she's with Dick, but she's attempted to talk with Eric. I personally think she might be a wild card. She's been voting the house vote each week, but this week it's a house divided vote. In another note, she's really in a lot of pain with her earaches.
Jen and Kail discussed how unhappy with Amber they are -- her moods and actions are getting to them.
Dustin thinks the Dick and Daniele really, really need to go on the block next week. He and Jessica jumped up and down in glee celebrating the fact that they have enough votes to keep Eric this week. He's so sure a Donato will go next week (Dick) that he feels it's worth breaking his promise to them.
So, I dunno. Now it looks like it's swung back around to Eric staying, but I wouldn't bet any big bucks on it. I'll update again before tonight's live show.
Y'see, I meant to post earlier, but Evel Dick took all of my free will away. (Thanks go to Zoetawny for the graphic!)
Actually, for the first time this season, I've actually been hooked on the feeds and find it hard to stop watching.
I posted the change of minds here and on TV Squad as well as the video of Amber screaming at Eric. But what happened after that has been even more intriguing.
Here's the lowdown from the Big Brother House of Pavlov's Many Dogs:
While the others played with the HOH camera and had a grand old time, Eric was in the Diary Room.
The others feared that Eric would explode or else just leave the game.
Amber says she still has to vote for him because of the fact she swore her daughter's life on it. Jameka also promised him and gave her word.
Eric emerged from the DR very subdued, but asked to talk to Daniele.
In a long, long calm and rational talk with her, he seemed to have her feeling sorry for the wrongs committed against him.
Daniele told him she'd ask her father to stop yelling at him.
Eric's big plea seemed to be the legacy he would leave.
As I type this, he's talking to Jessica.
He said she was the only one he'd want to be in the final two with because he'd lose to everyone anyway and wants a person he likes to win.
Jessica said to him that he has her vote to stay although she's singing a different tune to the others.
Jameka's in there talking to him now.
Dustin wants to talk to him, too.
Three hours ago, not one of them wanted to even look him in the eye.
I said earlier that Evel Dick may be the biggest manipulator ever. I'm not quite sure how they're reacting away from him, but Eric is working it the best he can.
Eric is making some good points -- ones I brought up before his speeches. For example, I said Dick was using the Amber personal stuff as a weapon against Eric as much (more than) Eric ever would have with it.
If he beats Dick in this game of manipulative skills, I might have to eat my hat.
I don't think I have a hat. I'd have to go buy one.
In another note, folks ... once again, please be respectful to others in the comments area. The houseguests are pretty much free game, but not your fellow commenters. I don't agree with every commenters' favorites in the game, but that's okay. It would be boring if we all had the same favorites, wouldn't it?
I caught the reactions of Dick, Bunny Zach and Daniele as Amber screamed at Eric. Do you think she may have blown the "let's keep Eric going home a secret" bit?
Because there really wasn't all that much to report! It was small talk, Donatos feeling all alone, Eric being devious, Zach and Jen being absent.
Ah, but in the past few hours there have been many changes.
Right now it looks like the tides have changed once again. Here's what's gone down recently in that Big Brother House of "There is no sides" (credit: Daniele Donato):
After having a tiff with Dustin last night when she tried to tell him if Eric goes this week she'll go the next, Amber finally got through to him.
Even Jameka thinks a good way for Dustin to take the Donato spotlight off of him as a target is to send Eric home.
Earlier, Jessica was told by Dustin that Jen has been telling Amber things about Eric.
Jen told Daniele and Evel that Zach is uneasy because neither Eric or Kail have even tried to talk to him about the vote. (He must feel he doesn't have any friends even amongst his enemies.)
Evel Dick kept working on Amber, telling her a mix of lies, half-truths and some truths. He works her into a tizzy, an anti-Eric tizzy.
Both Daniele and Dick keep at her, tag-teaming her as they bring her over to their Dark Side.
Amber is an easy subject, but will Dustin be as easy?
Amber went to Dustin ... on and on ... there is a bit of video below for you.
Now Dustin is all peachy-keen with the Donatos once again.
Eric is now the target with Jameka and Jessica the only two possible votes for him.
As a watcher, I can only shake my head in wonder at how easily these houseguests are manipulated.
Dustin, Amber, Daniele, and Evel Dick are now sitting around laughing about Zach and talking who they want to target next -- Zach or Jen.
