'Big Brother 8' - TV Squad

My latest TV Squad entry is up and out there, too!

Settle in with a cup of joe and a bowl of slop...!

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Into Saturday 8/11

Go, Jess! Go, Jess! Like, because you're the HOH! Whatever.

Zoetawny has her cheer down pat!

Since the initial shake-up in the house, things have been almost predictable. Now, I wanted the shake-up. I like watching when there are problems.

Alas, the problems have been keeping themselves apart. So, the action is down a bit.

Here's the latest from the Big Brother House of Gossip-Mongering Gaddabouts:

• Jessica had to explain drive-in movies to Eric. He's never seen one.
• They all took turns practicing croquet.
• Dick continued to rant on Jameka about her faith -- calling her a hemorrhoid on Christianity.
• Jameka, for the past few days, has started saying "yippie skippy" on and off all the time in a high voice. Make her stop.
• Dick told Daniele he'd like to punch Dustin. Daniele suggested he take his robe and crown instead.
• Amber is worried that Eric and Dustin are in a secret alliance. She might have to cry about it.
• Jessica and Amber agree that out of the two nominees, Daniele is the better player and should be evicted.
• Dick threw one of Dustin's shirts (not a grey one, darn it) on the roof when Dustin wasn't looking. He also hid one of Jen's headbands behind the washing machine (because it didn't throw well).
• Meanwhile, the LNC Remainders talked about not getting up to say goodbye on the Thursday live show.
• Jameka and Jessica stayed up later talking and giggling a lot in the HOH bed.
• They're asleep as I get this posted.

The POV comp should be held later today. I'll be posting the results of that tonight. It sounds like Jessica will replace a nominee with Jen if one is removed.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Update Into Friday Late Night

My latest TV Squad entry is in the publishing queue, but I thought I'd bring you up to date here.

First, thanks to all who took part in the naming one good thing about each houseguest bit in my previous entry! It was a lot of fun to watch the struggle! ;-)

As expected, Jessica nominated Dick and Daniele. The POV comp is apparently going to be croquet and both camps have been practicing, although Daniele and Dick seemed a bit more serious about it.

Eric's been suggesting Dustin goes up as a replacement nominee if the veto is used. Jen and Zach are successfully mingling with both groups. The POV comp will be held on Saturday as usual.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Friday So Far 8/10

<--- And Amber cried.

There. That says it all!

Or not.

Someone in comments asked for a refresher on how a double eviction week works. If memory serves, the new HOH immediately nominates two for eviction. Then on Friday POV is played, Saturday is POV Meeting, Sunday is live eviction and new HOH. Then it all goes as normal once again.

Here are today's events from the Big Brother House of Hugs and Kisses:

• Now Daniele and Evel think the odd votes could have been a mix of Dustin, Amber, and Eric. Most of the mind change there is because Julie cast doubt on the Eric theory when talking to Daniele in HOH.
• Dick plans to mock religion in the POV comp to bug Jameka.
• They've been having a huge ant problem in the kitchen. This has been going on for a few days now.
• The food comp was held today. Dick got a slop pass which he gave to Jen. They seemed to have to swing at something (pinatas?) and smash 'em. Zach cut his hand during the comp but enjoyed it although he said it wasn't a good outcome. I think Dustin is on slop, perhaps Zach.
• Amber told Jameka that she knows that she'll win HOH for the final three and have to break her promise to take Dustin to the final two with her. @@ Delusional much?
• Jameka thinks that Amber can see the future. (I don't even have a witty remark for that one. Anyone?)
• Jen's ear is still bothering her.
• Amber kept talking about getting all the money signs -- I'm thinking it was something to do with winning money in the food comp. She's not on slop, so maybe that's all the money signs bought her.
• The LNC Remainders have been talking about nominations -- it seems that Dick and Daniele will be going on the block, surprise surprise!
• Amber thinks she cries too much. Gee, I hadn't noticed.
  
• She can't control it. (Well, learn!)

That's about it. I thought with all the controversy in comments (although for the most part they're really great -- about the houseguests, not the fellow commenters, thank you) -- I think we should all say one nice thing about each houseguest. You game? I'll even go first!

Amber: One of the best criers I've ever seen! Kudos!
Eric: One really good eyebrow!
Daniele: Very pretty smile!
Jessica: Can sleep through anything, a quality envied by many!
Dustin: Nice eyes!
Jen: Calm and collected!
Zach: Interesting comic book knowledge!
Dick: Has accomplished the feat of blowing smoke rings to the level of professional.
Jameka: Despite her worries, she fits in fine with a house of crazy white people!

Your turn!

'Big Brother 8' - Through the Overnight Into Friday 8/10

Uh-oh. Whose eye is that? Zoetawny made me a new logo tag for posts!

After a very explosive show, whatever could those hamsters be up to while running in their wheels in that Big Brother House of Societal Misfit Toys?

Here's the skinny for you:

• BB held the HG in an indoor lockdown while they did something in the backyard.
• Jessica told Eric that she had told Zach she wouldn't put him on the block.
• Zach told Dick that "they" would be voting him (Dick) out no matter what. He suggested a smear campaign making up things about Dustin. (C'mon, Zach ... don't stick your own neck out when you're safe for the moment!)
• Imitating the BB recorded voice which says things like, "Houseguests, you are not allowed to talk about your Diary Room sessions with other houseguests," Dick said, "Amber, please cry like a little #&%@&"
• Jameka plopped herself down with Evel Dick and Daniele prompting him to make a few choice remarks about religion and calling her a hypocrite.
• Jameka reacted in almost a Dick-like manner. So much for all of the religion being a true driving force. Scary!
• I won't use the language used by either Dick or Jameka here.
• Dustin called Dick a "white trash washed-up deadbeat dad." Amber told Dick he should commit suicide. (I actually think that's closer to her mind than Dick's -- she seems to be the one with the real instability problems more than him despite his tactics.)
• Jen said the DR seemed to want her to vote for Eric to stay. (Obviously she did what she wanted to do as she voted to evict him.)
• Dick says that if he's leaving, he's going to go out with a bang.
• Daniele said that the DR told her to expect another twist this week. (We really should be about ready for a double eviction, but what else could happen?)
• Eric made more incest remarks about Daniele and Dick, this time with Amber chiming in.
  
• Zach thinks he's almost invisible in the game -- Julie has only asked him one question ever and that was about the streaking incident.
• Dick, Daniele, and Zach think they need to swing Jessica to their side but she's taken in by Eric.
• Dustin told Zach that "they" are going to the sequester house one by one each week.
• Eric told Jessica she should put Dustin on the block. They both laughed, but I can't help but think that was America's Player's choice this week -- Dustin.
• Dick is sure he's going home this week.

I'm sure that there will be some interesting blow-ups this week!
