Also, make yourself at home in the comments area. I love to hear, okay, read your thoughts.
So far we're still in Recap City.
Amber is crying. Oh, she got played, y'know. She really shouldn't let her spare tire hang out with its tattoos. Not a good fashion statement and she's not really fat. Ick. Amber says she knew Mini-Mad had six cards, but when she heard seven she agreed because it's her lucky number. @@
Eric and Jessica are happy, thinking they made the right move at the right time. Dick and Daniele are beside themselves with glee, espeically Dick. He wants her to put up Jameka and Amber, but she wants to talk to people.
Jessica tries to make amends with Jameka because she wants to keep her on her side. Jameka is worried that Eric is in on other side deals, but Jessica tells her she trusts him.
It's time for the HOH room. Now, there's a difference between Dick and Daniele versus Jen. Horrible pictures make them smile not cry! Zach mentions there are no pictures of her boyfriend. However, there is a letter from Nick. Eric says the big Nick "letter" was as if it had been created by a thirteen-year-old girl. Daniele is excited.
Daniele talks to Amber and said it was Dustin's own fault with the way he treated people. Amber told her she has to do what's best for her. Daniele told her that she hasn't made up her mind yet. Daniele tells us that she's there for Amber on a personal level, but strategically it's different.
Amber forgets what various words mean. It's very odd. "What does 'outed' mean?" Although this segment makes Amber look dumber than she actually is, it's kind of funny. I have to say it's not something which constantly happens on the feeds -- they had to gather that for a while.
Eric is talking to Amber, told her it wasn't planned that Dustin would go. He tells her he was more worried about himself in the game. Eric tells her, "I've always (pause, grimace) cared about you."
Beer pong time. And, it's to the wagers! Eric has to wear booty shorts, size small. Jessica and Eric had to swap clothes, thus the Eric in Jessica's dress bit.
Jamkea talks to Evel Dick. She wonders how he was able to stay when they thought it was a sure thing. Dick told her and Amber that of him and Daniele, he had to go. He said if he could pick anyone to be up against, it would have been Dustin.
Amber is sure that Eric made a deal with Dick and Daniele, with Jen?
Food comp time -- it's togas! Zach thinks he looks great. It's a beer pong done giant-sized. Two teams of four -- Red is Eric, Dick, Jessic and Zach. Blue is Amber, Jen, Jameka, Daniele. Dick thinks the Blue Team has to go on slop to weaken them -- with Daniele being HOH, she will eat no matter what.
Both teams got feast balls in. Jen is on slop no matter what, so she's a bit half-hearted in the game. After a good start for Blue, the teams end up tied near the end, both with one barrel left. Eric's OPNLY good shot finished the game. Red wins, Blue is on slop. Since both teams got the feast barrel, there will be a feast for all one day.
They return inside to a smaller table. It reminds Daniele that she stuck with people she doesn't like.
Eric and Jessica flirt and mention Julie's hint about a romance/shomance. Eric is actually blushing as Jessica and Dick tease him.
Jen is talking to Daniele. She's worried that she'll be put on the block. Daniele tells us that she doesn't trust Jen.
It's America's Player -- Which HG should Eric get nominated? Amber -- he's very happy. So, he goes to talk to Evel and Daniele to push for an Amber eviction. Dick agrees, but Daniele tells us she doesn't really trust Eric.
America's Player -- To whom should Eric give his childhood woobie (stuffed animal)? I say Zach just for giggles and snorts. Or, maybe Dick.
Nominations today -- Amber is nervous that she'll go up on the block because she gets along with everyone and Daniele would lose in the final two with her. Jen and Jameka are also worried. Daniele wants to be sure of what she's doing. Eric thinks he wants to feel quite confident that he's safe. Daniele says some people have been doing nothing and don't deserve to win the game.
Ceremony -- one of the hardest decisions, strategic, not personal. Key order -- Jessica (didn't take it personally last week), Jen, Dick, Zach, Eric.
Amber, since day one you and Jameka get along with everyone. I don't want to be with you in the final two. Fight for the power of veto. Fairly short and sweet. Jameka feels it's all ordained. Amber said God told her she would win POV tomorrow and will be in the final two.
Daniele tells us Jen is the real target.
This is about it. They slept into the afternoon although Zach and Jen were up before noon. They've eaten, they've sunned. There has been some small talk, some speculation about the trip(s) won by Daniele and Amber in the POV comp.
But, nothing which really deserves an entry!
I'll be live-blogging tonight's show as it airs on the East Coast. Please stop back and speak your mind!
Is the relationship developing into a serious romance and not just a showmance? No, it's not a hugging, kissing, crazy monkey sex sort of relationship. Eric and Jessica seem to be getting closer and closer, albeit not physically.
As I type this, they're still up talking about their impending marriage -- they'll be married for 80 years, mind you. He'll live to be 107! I personally can't see these two walking down the aisle, but I think a close friendship at the very least will be there for years to come. In a way, it's a bit refreshing, although a bit schmaltzy, in a game which has been so nasty this year.
Here are the late night happenings into the dawn from that Big Brother House of Best Friends and Worst Enemies:
- At one point Daniele said that Jen complains about everything. Evel Dick and Zach just froze in place and stared. (Pot - kettle - black)
- The HG joked about getting CBS to pay for Jessica and Eric's wedding and doing a spin-off show like Rob and Amber.
- Amber thinks Jessica is fake because she knows she doesn't like Evel Dick, but is being nice to him. She's also mad that Jessica gave the go-ahead for Zach to vote Dustin out.
- Amber thinks Jameka is lucky and safe due to not being able to compete for HOH. She's not sure if God wants her to make a deal with Daniele.
- Amber thinks that Dick is smart, but he's scared of Daniele getting mad at him and together they're "brutal."
- Jameka thinks she'll have white friends once she gets home.
- Amber still wants to be an inspirational speaker and asked Jameka if the DR said anything to her about it. (I can see her now ... "I live in a trailer by the river...!")
- Amber also thinks that she'll have folks sponsor her nursing education now. @@
- Amber loves Dustin, if you didn't know.
- Zach says Jen is annoying him while Jen thinks she's been nice to everyone except Daniele.
- Zach seems to be pushing for a Jen nomination almost every time he talks to Dick or Daniele.
- Daniele told Dick that she's tired of his personal habits, all the people in the house, and his trying to parent her. He said he'd give her her space and just left the HOH room.
- Dick had an impromptu "Dick Show" alone with the cameras saying he didn't know what to do, Daniele complains about everything, she's never happy no matter what and he told her brother Vincent he misses him because Daniele is being a real pain.
- Eric told Jameka that Zach told him he threw the veto for Dick last week -- he surely threw it for someone, I say! I'm bad with strange foods, but he didn't even try!
- It appears that Jameka and Zach have a "date" planned this week. Since Jameka thinks Zach is the sneakiest player in the house, I'm sure she's planning on fact gathering.
- Jameka doesn't know whether to approach Daniele or not (about the votes this week). She doesn't think she's a threat in the game. (Don't question divine intervention!)
- Jameka told Dick she knows he has an alliance with Eric. It's all good, y'know.
- Jameka told Eric she thinks Daniele will put him on the block. He told her he wouldn't cut a deal with her. (Like he needs to! He's safe for this week, at least.)
- After everyone else headed to bed, Jessica and Eric stayed up talking about just about everything and anything. About the only interesting game talk I got out of their schmaltzy talk is that Eric likes only Jessica and Jameka in the house and can see only being friends with those two after the season ends. Jameka, eh? Interesting. She doesn't seem to share the feeling from what I've seen.
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?

May I have your attention, please?
The Power of Veto winner is Daniele.
You may return to your regularly scheduled lives now.
