Welcome! Grab a bowl of slop and a glass of iced tea and make yourself at home! The show is about to begin here on the East Coast.
This entry will constantly be updated with the show happenings as they air here in the NYC area. Please forgive any typos or misspellings and share your thoughts in the comments area. Refresh the page to get the latest.
We be in recap mode now. In the background I have America's Got Talent finale on. I hope to catch the eliminations there and will let you know about them and the winner, too. Unless I miss it, of course. I'm recording it.
Daniele has ticked off both Amber and Jameka. Once again, Amber thinks she's a "good person."
On AGT -- that young girl just got eliminated. Not Butterscotch, the country and western one.
Jen is talking to Jessica. She's pumping for information, but Jessica is playing dumb. Eric and Jessica are messing around. Not in a really adult manner, mind you. Zach likes to torment Eric when he's with her.
Amber tells Jameka she "can't with" jeesica because she's sneaky. Amber thinks she's such a big threat in the game and a target. "I had a vision."
Amber cries. She feels it, she sees it. Both Jameka and her will be in the final two! Hallelujah! (Which I probably spelled wrong.) No more crying she vows through her tears!
Eric is finding his Woobie now. He's cracking up over it. He's thrilled that "we" chose Jessica. Very sweet.
On AGT, Butterscotch was just eliminated.
Daniele and Zach are talking, he's sick of Eric and her dad. Daniele complains that Jen complains and Amber and Jameka mope around. What does Daniele think she does? They turn to Jen, Zach calls her a loose cannon. BTW - the talk turns to Jen, she isn't there. Zach tells us he's a force to be reckoned with.
Veto player pick -- special competition, two finalists will be rewarded with a top-secret trip out of the house. Daniele picks Houseguest's Choice -- Dick. Amber bitterly picks Jessica. Jameka picks Zach. Jen says it double sucks that she didn't get to play. Eric hosts.
Oh, people want that trip!
Time for the comp -- motorcycles in place they each get to sit on. A huge speedometer. The questions are based on the CBS.com polls.
Kail great politician? 19% -- Dick gets eliminated with 78%. Life in the BB house easy? 14% -- Zach eliminated with his 62%. Dustin a better boyfriend than Joe? 47% -- Jessica is eliminated. Rather a beer with Nick than Mike? 70% -- Jameka out with 87%. Amber is crying in the comp because Jameka got eliminated. Once again she puts everyone ahead of herself -- Amber thinks of herself. Zach sexiest bunny of all? 35% -- Daniele wins POV with her 46%
Jen is happy because she prefers noms stay the same. Right. Amber and Jameka cry and hug. Amber is literally shaking.
And Amber cried. Did I mention that?
Make her STOP.
Daniele is telling Dick that she wants to make a deal with Amber for next week. Of course, we know that both Daniele and Dick wanted to backdoor Jen anyway, so this gives them an edge.
Now Amber is saying her vision was so real and can't believe it didn't come true. Amber suggests she make a deal with Daniele and bounces the idea off of Jameka.
Daniele and Amber go tothe HOH to avoid the herd. Amber first asks, then Daniele tells her she'd take her off for her next HOH. They've edited in a dinging noise after each promise Amber made after Jameka warned her not to promise too much. Heh. Of course, Daniele took it.
Eric and Dick talk, proud of their alliance and how it paid off. Dick still wants them as final four -- Dick, Daniele, Eric, Jessica. Eric would rather see Zach up than Jen, but is willing to compromise.
The Veto Meeting -- Jameka was pleasant, will respect her decision. Amber cries, tries not to cry. Daniele gives a speech about strong competitiors in the game. On a strategic level, saves Amber. Daniele nominates Jen... one of the biggest competitors in the house and (paraphrasing) some of us are here to win the money.
Daniele vows to us Jen will go home. Jameka is worried. Jen is confident she'll be here next week.
Daniele and Amber find out they're going to board a jet to NYC -- they're going to be contestants on The Power of Ten.
Uh-oh. I wondered why we had such teary, er... rainy weather today -- Amber's HERE.
Ack.
YES! TERRY FATOR WON AMERICA'S GOT TALENT! HE'S MY FAVORITE! HE'S AMAZING!
Now that I got that out of my system ... America's Player. Who does Eric work to evict?
I wasn't recording at the time, but this is the second incident that I mentioned happened while I was typing when Dick went on about not touching him. I'm looking for more video of the original meltdown.
Thanks to commenter Kathy (yay!), here's a link to the YouTube user who has a virtual ton of videos posted covering last night.
As you can tell, this afternoon is a thrill a minute in the Big Brother house. What Zach is doing, most are doing.
Here's what happened throughout the day so far:
Amber and Daniele still haven't returned. We still don't know anything about the big trip.
Dick was the first one up and was still giggling about the events of last night. If BB hadn't replaced the cigarettes, I don't think he'd think it that funny. (I was thinking of the dollars involved -- cigarettes are about $50 a carton or more these days, so Jen destroyed a few hundred dollars of his personal property.)
Once Jen was up, Evel Dick kept up his nasty comments every time she passed by.
In reference to Jen still eating, Zach said he hates cheaters and Eric wants a rules book clarification because she's still eating (when she's supposed to be restricted to slop and condiments).
Jessica pulled a prank yelling that Jen's picture on the Memory Wall had gone grey.
All of the houseguests seem to think Jen is making a mockery of the rules by eating. There has been no official BB clarification if she's on a penalty nom or not.
Throughout the day Jen has been constantly eating about anything she can find.
Throughout the day, Zach has been making comments about cheaters and Dick's been a vulgar broken record.
People are napping. I don't see Jen right now. She's probably eating.
Once Daniele and Amber come home, things should perk up in the house.
<-- Amber preparing for her big trip yesterday before the brouhaha went down. Is there a reason behind Jen's bizarre actions? Is she off her rocker or does she have a plan? Here's what's been happening since my post about said brouhaha:
Jen looked for the replacement cigarettes to destroy them if she could.
Jen continued to eat despite the terms of her slop restriction.
Jen (hi, it's Jen) says that if she has a penalty nomination, she cannot compete for HOH next week and cannot save herself with the veto -- so she'll keep on eating.
She's studied the rules book and was told that by the DR.
Evel Dick kept up his stream of vulgarities and encouraged her to eat.
Jen pointed out that it didn't matter if she ate more anyway.
Jen asked Eric if anyone has ever gotten a penalty nomination or if it had always been a threat. He said if it happened, this would be a first.
Jameka is worried that Jen is doing all of this in an effort to stay in the house. (I think so, too.)
She thinks it would be easy for the HG to vote her off this week, then Jen next when she can't protect herself due to the penalty nom.
Zach told the others that he confirmed what Jen said about penalty noms in his own DR session.
Jen isn't sure if continuing to eat is allowed with a penalty nom, but she's going to eat anyway.
Jameka is getting more upset by the moment. She said the executive producers left just before Jen started eating and destroying Evel's cigarettes. She thinks that Jen broke the rules (well, yeah) and there should be a clause in there to protect her.
Jameka regrets stopping Jen from hitting Evel Dick because that would have meant expulsion and would have saved her (Jameka) this week.
Jen kept eating ... and eating ... and eating.
Jen told Jameka that she spoke to the DR about it being unfair to her (Jameka) and expected more punishment. She said they thought it odd she was concerned about Jameka.
Jen claims she only did it so she would be out of there.
Zach and Dick talked about getting rid of Jameka this week, then Jen the next. (It works?) They seem pretty intent on the idea of a Jameka eviction Thursday as being the way to go.
Jessica told Jameka she was told that BB would address Jen's actions in the morning.
Zach and Dick think it's the "perfect crime" -- Jameka this week, Jen next week when she's defenseless, then Amber ... out, out, and out.
All are asleep as I post this -- Amber and Daniele haven't returned yet from their trip.
Oh! Oh! It's a brouhaha! No, we don't know where Daniele and Amber went, but...!
Before the big night out, Daniele told Dick that Jen was reading the rule book to see if there was something which would keep her in the house.
Jen asked Daniele why she put her on the block after saying she had her back. The conversation was, like, almost impossible, to, like, follow.
Dick called Jen a name.
Jen exaggerated a reaction to his smoking, fanning and making a big deal about it.
Jen fussed to Jameka that when Daniele is on slop, there are more special breaks.
Things escalated. Dick blew smoke at Jen, she tried to slap the cigarette out of his hand and burned herself. Jen took Dick's cartons of cigarettes, destroying some.
Dick took all of Jen's clothes and hid them in the HOH room -- Daniele had left the key with him.
Dick said BB said he could hide things, but not destroy them. (Although Jen destroyed his cigarettes.)
Eventually the DR gave Dick three cartons back but there were four before Jen.
At one point Jen went to the DR and was in there for a long time causing the others to speculate if she was asking for her DOR (Demand of release -- a voluntary exit.)
Jen told Daniele in her talk earlier that she couldn't do sequester -- not this early.
Now it's mainly Dick calling her names and telling her to go cry somewhere else.
Argh... I was typing and heard Dick keep telling her not to touch him -- "Don't touch me!" -- repeatedly ... then the feeds blocked.
They're back, Jen is touching up her make-up and the others are saying, "It's Showtime!"
If you have ShoToo, tonight is probably going to be a good one to watch or record!
Jen also ate a burger, breaking her slop vow.
Jen claims to Jameka that BB told her she could destroy the cigarettes, but then backed down when she did it.
She says she destroyed them all because he was mean to her and BB bought new ones for him because he freaked out.
