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 ...
This is it! It's the season finale and one of the two who shouldn't be running a fine dining establishment will be. Woohoo! This post will be udated throughout the show so refresh your page for the most recent updates.
It's the guys and the girls once again. Or, as they say, the boys. Julia is still pouting some. She also thinks Rock deserves to win.
Rock seems to be leading his team a bit more. Bonnie doesn't seem to have a good plan and isn't familiar with what she's chosen for her menu.
Julia isn't reacting well to Bonnie's direction, giving her nasty looks and saying she didn't need to be treated like an idiot. In Bonnie's restaurant, they've run out of wallpaper.
Rock actually is paying attention to detail. His team seems more receptive to his direction. Ramsay doesn't like Bonnie's dessert -- I thought it looked good -- four chocolate truffles. He doesn't like Rock's dessert either.
Bonnie's restaurant is ready for Ramsay's inspection. He likes it. Clean, elegant. He doesn't care much for the hardwood floors due to noise.
Rock's is now ready. Elegant. No salt and pepper on the tables because it should be properly seasoned coming to the patrons.
Ramsay gives them some last minute advice -- you run the kitchen, don't let it run you. They each get new master chef jackets.
The kitchen(s) is/are open. The appetizers are getting ready. Ramsay is happy. The appetizers come out at the same time. Bonnie starts to have some communication woes with her not-wisely-chosen team. Julia is in her own world.
Rock is doing slightly better with Josh, but it's not an easy go.
Now Bonnie isn't listening to Julia.
Rock's team is falling behind on the appetizers. But Bonnie ran out of fettuccine for her signature dish and has to substitute spaghetti. Then Rock's team is falling apart mainly due to Josh. Rock finally moves Vinnie to fish because Josh kept burning the crab cakes. Rock is starting to get antsy.
Bonnie is running out of prawns and a dish is being sent back -- undercooked and cold. She didn't order right for this dinner!
Rock's team is doing better again as Bonnie's team is falling apart more. Julia gave her grief over wrapping something up and it became a verbal brouhaha.
Service is complete. Rock thinks that Josh might have ruined his chance of winning. Bonnie's team is all hunky-dory now that it's over. Yeah, right. Now that they don't need to communicate! Rock's family visits him briefly.
When questioned by Ramsay, Rock said he would have liked to have Jen because she's the best. Bonnie would have double-checked the stations and portions.
Ramsay thinks they both came out with great leadershop abilities. He has to study the customer comment cards before giving his decision.
Ramsay tells Bonnie she's surprised him the most and he tells Rock he's rock-solid. He says it was a tough decision. They're standing at the doors. The winner is the door which opens.
And, the spoilers from the beginning of the season were right ... Rock won. Rock cries. Julia cries. And Bonnie took it so welll ... she says she's happy for him!
Well, this feels odd ... posting the East Coast Updates on the live results show on a Monday! It was more odd last week when I went to watch it and football was in its place!
I'll be updating this post with the major events of the evening and everyone's welcome to jump in with their comments.
An interesting rather creepy dance is opening the show.
One guy and one girl will go home and the remaining four will go onto the finale performance show Wednesday night. Debbie Allen announced that Cedric is indeed attending her dance school in September.
A special guest dancer, Titus, performed. Now they're doing solos. It's Sabra up first. (She's my favorite of the girls left.) Lauren is next, then Lacey. Pasha is up first for the guys, a very nice dance indeed. I love his personality although I don't think he's the best male dancer. Next is Neil. I'm liking him more each week. Then it's Danny. I think that he's technically the best dancer of the guys, but I'm no dance expert.
Oh, this is nice. SYTYCD is working with inner city after school programs. Cool!
Into a Krumping exhibition.
First girl into the finale is Lacey. The first male into the finale is Danny.
They're sending the audience home as the show isn't live. It was filmed last Thursday. Bummer for them! They didn't want the infor to leak before today.
Okay, Sabra made it into the finale ... as should be! Lauren is going home.
I have an article awaiting publishing at TV Squad. Hopefully that will pop up soon!
I'll be starting up an East Coast Updates post for the So You Think You Can Dance results show which will be starting soon here. After that, I'll be live-blogging the finale of Hell's Kitchen. Later later, I'll be posting a feeds report here.
I've uploaded a feeds clip to YouTube -- It's Jessica explaining to the ailing Eric (which is why he couldn't talk to her or anyone else) how she came about putting Dustin on the block in Daniele's place. Zach had told her he would vote for Dick to go. Both Dustin and Amber volunteered to go up against Dick, but said she should put Jen up against Daniele. Jen told her that Dustin wants Dick to stay in the house and has a deal with him. Oh, watch it for yourself! (And I had nothing to do with product placement in the clip!)
Jessica did it. Dustin is on the block, but I haven't heard whether Dick used the Veto to save Daniele or himself yet. I'm sure he was planning to save Daniele and will correct this if he didn't.
Well, it's been a bit of a snoozefest coming from the Big Brother house since yesterday afternoon. Many of the houseguests slept well into the afternoon and, as a result, are still up and wide-awake now.
But they're boring.
Sigh.
Here's what has been happening in the Big Brother House of He Said She Said:
Jen ran from a moth in the backyard. While Dick said it was a small one, Jen said it was "the size of a bird."
Eric thinks this is the best looking BB cast so far. @@
At one point Dick started to ridicule Jameka and Daniele told him to "shut up." He did.
Zach isn't the only HG who hurt himself at the food comp -- Dick has a nasty cut on his wrist.
Zach told Amber that he had a long talk with Dick about calming down some because he's going to have to be in sequester with them.
Dick is certain he'll be going home and has calmed down some.
Zach and Amber exercised together. He's put himself on a very strict regimen as he lost a lot of weight prior to coming in the house and wants to keep it off.
Daniele thinks that if Dick leaves this week, it's only her and Amber who don't fit in with the house left. (I beg to differ. I so don't care for Amber, but she seems to be in with the crowd. I think it would still be Daniele, Zach, and Jen on the outer fringes.)
Dick is sure that Jen is going on the block in his place at the POV Ceremony (later today). He told Daniele to start "getting into her head" after she goes up in an effort to work herself in with her better.
Amber told Daniele it was "sweet" that Nick left her (Daniele) his bandana to wear for good luck in comps.
Jen told Eric that Dick will be using the veto to save himself. (She may be a JenBot, but she does like to stir things up!)
The LNC Remainders are already fractioning -- Amber told Jessica that Eric should know after last week that he'll be the first target in their group.
Dustin is peeved -- he thinks Dick stole his King robe, his fake tattoos and hid the olives, too!
Amber said she's willing to go on the block as a pawn if Dustin doesn't feel comfortable. (Oh, I'd love for her to go!)
Daniele doesn't know how much she can trust Jen. (Not much, I say. Although Jen has repeatedly said she's there for fun, she's got her game on and knows what she's doing.)
Dustin no longer wants to go on the block as a pawn. He says it's because he's been arrogant and thinks that's going to hurt him. (You don't say?) He said one of the things he wanted to work on this summer is his arrogance. (I guess recognizing it is a step.)
Dustin also thinks Eric might vote to evict him if he's on the block.
Amber seems irked with Dustin over this latest.
Amber also told Dustin to stop repeating things she says about Zach to him.
They played beer pong again.
Amber isn't thrilled that Eric has been talking to Jen.
Right now as I post this, the LNC Remainders are all abuzz because Eric has been in the DR "forever." Yesterday, neither Amber or Eric went to the DR and someone named Rebecca was the voice of BB in there.
Now Eric is having an interesting talk with Jessica about working to the final two -- who they can trust and who they can't.
Once again, I ask that folks PLEASE be respectful of others in the comments area. There is no reason for the comments area to be like the house. We're better than that! I don't care which houseguest is your favorite -- each of these folks this year have flaws and those flaws are likely to be dwelled upon by those who don't like them. No one need to constantly defend why they like so-and-so or insult others because they do or don't. It all boils down to ... this is a game. We don't know these houseguests and, in the end, they won't affect our personal lives.
