'Big Brother 8' - Saturday 8/18 Live Feeds Report

Jackie's TV Blog, BB8, Big Brother 8

Will Divine Intervention save Amber? Or will it be Jameka? Will it mean God loves one more than the other?

I'm not going to get into a deep theological discussion here, but I think God most likely has more important tasks at hand.

Here are the events and oddness which went down in that Big Brother House of Uncommon Nonsense*:
  • Jameka is a bit under the weather today. She's also mad because someone put chocolate syrup on the downstairs toilet seat as a prank and she ended up cleaning it up.
  • Eric and Jessica want to keep Jen in the house for their own strategic purposes. If it comes down to it, they want to try to make a deal with Dick and Daniele that if Jen goes this week, Zach has to go next. (Argh, I want AMBER to go! I know it may not be the most strategic move, but she is the most annoying person on the feeds for me.)
  • In the POV player picks, Daniele chose Dick as her Houseguest's Choice. Zach and Jessica were the other two chosen and Eric was picked as the host.
  • Evel Dick and Zach happy-danced that Jen wasn't competing for the veto.
  • They were told ahead of time that in addition to the veto, there would be two prizes of trips. The veto was based on CBS poll answers, but blocked to the feeds (of course).
  • Daniele won the POV. The trips were won by Daniele and Amber.
  • Daniele said she wouldn't use the veto. Dick quickly vetoed that idea! He said they should make a deal with Amber that she won't put them on the block if she gets HOH next week and send Jen home.(Like Amber could win HOH! Give me a break here!)
  • Daniele is reluctant -- she thinks she can make a deal with Jen. Dick doesn't want that.
  • Zach complained to Daniele that Amber and Jameka are "being mean" to him because of the Dustin gone ordeal.
  • When Zach mentioned to Daniele that it seems like Dick tried to do his best for her and her brother Vincent, she scoffed. She said he likes to make it look like he did.
  • Amber hopes someone will discover her. (Perhaps the men in white jackets? They're coming to take you away, haha, heehee...)
  • Dick talked nice at ... er, to Amber. He was actually very pleasant, asking if she was okay, telling her he didn't know who would go home, and if she needed to talk he's there. He also played up on her winning a feast and the trip and how happy he was for her.
  • Amber teared up a wee bit, but thanked him.
  • Amber didn't cry.
  • Jameka told Amber that she thinks Daniele will use the veto to put up Eric. (How out of touch is she?)
  • Amber thinks that Daniele won't take her off the block because she's selfish. Jameka told her she should try making a deal with her.
  • There was beer pong and an extended True/False game.
  • And there ya go!
I've had a post in the pending queue over at TV Squad for a while. I'm not sure when it will hit the airwaves. Um, well, not airwaves, I guess. Cyberspace?

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Into the Morn - Sat., 8/18

Jackie's TV Blog, BB8, Big Brother 8

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.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds - Nominations?


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.
