My latest TV Squad post went up overnight. You're all welcome to go give it a gander!
Here's the lowdown from the late night hours into the dawn from inside that Big Brother House of "But I don't want to go among mad people." <-- Alice, in The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland.
When you think of it, the story is definitely suited to this group of houseguests, eh?
Here we go, among the mad people:
- Jameka is really upset with Jessica over the events as of late. She's hurt and betrayed. (But I thought everything was predetermined in the game? If so, Jessica must be being guided by a higher source, right?)
- The BB voice had to yell "stop that" at Evel for doing cannonballs in the pool.
- Eric reminded the girls that they voted out all of the hunky guys and they're down to him, Zach, and Dick.
- Jamkea seems to be upset that Zach grabbed bandannas for the food comp, but I still don't know what the comp itself was.
- Jameka and Jessica talked about how much Jen has been degraded by the men-- Jameka doesn't think she's been as degraded in her whole life as Jen has been in just the house.
- Jameka and Amber got called to the DR a lot and often weren't in there long.
- Eric tried to tell Amber that Dustin had deals going with just about everyone in the house and was a dangerous player. She's upset that Eric didn't just tell Dustin how the vote was going to go. Eric said that wasn't his responsibility. (Duh... that kind of thing is part of the game, Amber. After all, how else could we have seen his jaw drop like that?)
- Eric kept saying the Dustin move was purely strategic. I don't know if Amber and Jameka are buying what he's selling.
- Jen thinks Daniele and Evel Dick need to be put up on the block again.
- Amber is concerned that she may not be able to trust Eric. @@ (Maybe if she stopped crying so much and opened those eyes, she could see!)
- Eric told Jameka that as long as Dick and Daniele are in the game, they'll be the target which makes him less of a target.
- Jameka thinks Eric was disloyal to Dustin. Dustin had done him a favor and he paid back with betrayal.
- Eric told Jameka he would have gone home in two weeks at Dustin's will, so he could ruffle feathers and get Dustin out or suffer that fate.
- Eric asked Dick about what would happen if Jen won POV. Dick said he wouldn't be shocked and Amber would go home. (C'mon, Jen! Win that POV!)
- Dick thinks the LNC Remainders would have been fractured this week even if Eric hadn't made his move. (I notice how Jessica is left out of a lot of this!)
- Eric told Dick that the DR asks him about Jessica all the time. (Hey, they want shomances for ratings!)
- After a lot of small talk, nothing new on the strategy front, all the houseguests are asleep as I post this.
The POV comp will be held sometime today. I should have the results by this evening.

The feeds were blocked for a couple of hours and this is Jameka's state of mind. The block had to be for the nominations. Going into things, Daniele had mentioned nominating Jameka and Amber with a backdoor Jen plan.
Since the feeds returned, no one has talked about the noms. Dick asked Jameka if she was okay and she gave an abrupt answer, then headed to the couch by the HOH room. She's been there since with teary eyes and playing with what I believe is her rosary.
At one point a silent Amber walked through where Eric and Jessica were talking. She was dressed in a towel and looked like she came from the shower. Not a word was said.
So, I think it's pretty safe to say that Amber and Jameka are on the block even though no one has verbalized it. After all, actions speak louder than words.
UPDATE: Confirmed, it's Jameka and Amber on the block. Amber had a premonition that she'll win POV. She thinks Jameka is the pawn because they want her (Amber) out. She thinks that Jen will go on the block if she saves herself when she wins the POV. God did it all for a reason.
A day without Dustin is like a day without sunshine.
Or not.
For all the drama leading into last night's show, it's been a bit quiet strategy-wise, etc.
But they did have the food comp!
Here are the happenings from today inside that Big Brother House of Dropping Jaws:
- Eric did jumping jacks naked then asked Jameka her opinion of his anatomy. @@ (Is that like playing doctor when you're 8 or what?)
- Jessica, Amber, and Jameka were treated to this wonder.
- Dick would like Jen to leave this week. If not Jen, he'd settle for Amber. (I'd put Amber on my list for first to go.)
- He's worried that Jen could win POV or HOH.
- Zach doesn't like being called Shrek. Instead of saying that to Dick who calls him it, he told Jen. (Jen said, "I'm Jen.)
- The feeds were blocked for the food comp and when they returned, the HG were wearing togas.
- I'm not sure who's on slop this week. It could be Amber and Jameka as the rest seem pretty happy.
- Amber went off to her room where she probably ...
- ... cried.
- The table became smaller while they were outside with the food comp. It's about time!
- Added note -- Jen is also on slop this week.
That's about it for now. Nominations should be later tonight and I'll let you know!
Yes, that's right. Jameka is smiling.
Is she resigned to the fact that while she's likely to go on the block this week, she's not likely to be the target for eviction? Why not the target? Well, she still has four weeks to go before she can compete in a HOH comp. Right now she's just a vote and a possible POV contender.
Here are the late night happenings as we head towards dawn on Friday in that Big Brother House of Mismatched Socks:
- The HG had a Chinese food feast and a good time was had by all. Well, a subdued time was had by Amber.
- The fortune cookies were interesting. Jessica will meet a new friend. Jameka will be soon crossing warm waters for a fun vacation (sequester?). Dick will impress others with his artistic side. Daniele has to focus on her long term goal. Zach will be irresistible with his natural charm. Eric should slow down to smell the roses. Amber has good news on the way. (Sure, she does.) Jen is inclined to come up with unconventional solutions.
- In Daniele's HOH stuff, she didn't receive any photos of her boyfriend Kris. Hmmm...
- Amber told Daniele she's never talked bad about her. (I'd say iffy on that one -- talked bad about Daniele and Evel as a team a lot.)
- Evel Dick wants to plan a strategy ahead of time to work their way into the finals, but Daniele doesn't want to think that far ahead and wants to enjoy her upcoming birthday.
- Eric dressed up in a dress of Jessica's.
- Amber told everyone that she understands they voted the way they felt they had to -- she's not mad and just needs a few days. (How about until next Thursday?)
- At one point, Jameka and Amber commiserated by themselves. Although they plan to put on a good front, they're very upset about the Dustin eviction.
- Amber is sure that Daniele, Dick, Eric, and Jessica have a deal to go to the final four and that she and Jameka just won't have the votes to get that far.
- Amber is pretty bitter over things and is keeping apart from the others -- even when she's with them, she's very quiet.
- Jameka is putting on her game face and mingling.
- Right now all but Amber and Zach are hanging out small-talking about bathroom habits, television shows and such. Zach usually turns in a bit earlier.
- For all I know, Amber may be crying in bed.
<--- Jessica listens to Jameka with great sympathy and interest. Um. Okay, maybe it's feigned sympathy and interest. Here are the events from inside that Big Brother House of Topsy Turvy since tonight's jaw-dropping (for Dustin) live eviction show:- Jen told Eric that she knew all of the answers for the HOH comp.
- Evel Dick is tickled pink over his Carol comment in his speech. I must have missed something, but it seems that the guys have a bet on mentioning Carol or something.
- Eric wondered if Julie Chen ever made it through a show without botching a line. (I don't think so!)
- Everyone's happy and having fun!
- Except Jameka. She's somber.
- Except Amber. She went to bed crying.
- Daniele is shocked that it was between her and Amber for HOH. Oh, the pressure!
- They talked about Mini-Mad Hatter falling over the carpet and messing up his lines. He had them written on the back of the clock he wore, too!
- Daniele, taking cues from the ChenBot, asked Amber what she thought her daughter's reaction was to the show (hearing herself mentioned).
- Amber cried.
- Her daughter is 8 and going in the third grade, not 5.
- Jessica thought Amber was doing better than they expected, but at that time Jameka hadn't spoken to anyone.
- Dick danced about the house and yard. No, he wouldn't cut it on So You Think You Can Dance.
- Jen is rejoicing that she wasn't put on the block because she'd be gone.
- They're noticing things have gone missing. Daniele thinks Dustin did it, Zach thinks Jen. (Jen and Eric did it early this morning.)
- Jen admitted to hiding the kitchen utensils, showing Dick where they are so he can cook.
- Dick said something to the effect of knowing Eric is involved with the show, then the feeds were blocked.
- Jameka and Jessica had a long talk (still talking) in which Jessica acted surprised with tonight's outcome.
- Jameka says something is up with Eric because why would he switch his vote and save Dick after Dick wanted to get him out last week.
- Meanwhile, Evel Dick and Zach are discussing different ways to die in the backyard. Um. I just thought it worth mentioning.
- Jameka thinks Jen would go to the final four with Eric before Dick and Daniele would.
- Jessica, despite that voice, is playing a good game. Jameka thinks she has a confidant.
- There has been no game talk about nominations since the live show, but I think they'd remain the same -- Jameka and Amber up with Amber the target or backdoor Jen if they can.
- They're in Daniele's HOH room as I get this posted. Dick loves the pics, so does Daniele -- even the horrible ones they can laugh at! Dark chocolate! Corndogs! Trader Joe's popcorn!
- All is smiles and sunshine.
- Except Amber.
- She looks like she's about to cry.
So, there you go. They're awaiting Chinese food. Tomorrow will be the food comp and nominations.
