As I get this written up, Evel Dick and Daniele are whispering. I can only catch about every third word they say, but they're not too happy.
Here's the latest skinny:
- First, I'd like to thank everyone who participated on the blog last night once again. You ALL rock! I recorded the show, but haven't watched it yet because I had the blow-by-blow description of the events. I'll watch it after work tonight.
- In the comp, they gave up hot showers for the week in order to get more cups. Eric also won a phone call, but gave it to Jessica in hopes they can get her brother in Iraq to call.
- Keep in mind, the HG are covered with a buttery substance ... and can only take cold showers. EWW.
- They're wondering if they'll have a food comp tomorrow (today). I don't know, but they usually don't when they have to cover a HOH endurance comp on the Sunday show. Maybe.
- Jessica thinks that Zach will nominate her because she put him on the block last week.
- There's something about envelopes and phone calls from home, but the feeds were cutting out and I didn't quite get it. I'm not sure if they were discussing the one call I heard about or additional ones.
- Everyone who was in the comp is sore. There were some slips, slides, and crashes. Everyone lived, though. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?
- They didn't get their usual Thursday night big feast -- this must be why they had the one the night before. BB had no idea how long this comp would take.
- In his HOH, Zach got snacks which he promptly shared with all, a Frisbee, and lots o' goodies. His Mom sent a card which said "Have good clean fun." Huh. She doesn't know this show too well, does she?
- Dick thinks the fact he was wearing jeans slowed him down. I thought he did very well. I personally think Zach won due to his larger feet to sail on, but it could have been grit and determination!
- Eric said he hurt himself about five minutes into the comp. Since he thought it might go on for hours, he didn't want to ruin things and didn't say anything.
- Zach told Daniele his brother told him not to be the first one voted out, so he's thrilled to be this far in the game.
- Daniele told him that everyone's upset that he won. They're all scared. She then kissed up and commented how she really didn't want Nick voted out the week he was. Going for the sore points, eh?
- Daniele seems to be trying to hint to Zach that he should put Dick on the block. Zach admits to her that Dick makes him very uneasy.
- Then Daniele goes for him putting Eric or Jessica on the block. Anyone but Daniele, right?
- Zach doesn't commit to anything at this time.
- Dick thinks Amber or Jen had food stashed in the bedroom as there are ants and a smell.
- Even Dick is sucking up to Zach.
- Zach, so far, isn't pulling a Dustin. He's his normal abnormal Zach self, perhaps just a tad happier.
As I post this, there are no real indications who will go on the block tonight. I think Zach will think this through thoroughly and do the best thing on a strategic level for him to advance in the game. He won't do anything on a purely personal basis. Zach's like that, yeah, he is.
The feeds have returned! I want to thank everyone who took part in live-blogging the live show (which isn't live here tonight). I'm amazed at the response and you guys (gals!) really rock! It was fantastic! I apologize for not thinking to turn off the word verification for the comments for the posts earlier. Unfortunately, I will have to turn it back on sometime tonight to avoid spambots.
Once again ... thank you all so much! It was fun! And, you were tremendous with the updates!
And Amber's GONE! WOOHOO!
Due to football preempting the show until 1:37 AM here in the NYC area, it's YOUR turn to live-blog the live show!
Yes, I mean YOU!
If the show is airing in your area at a reasonable hour, any time zone, I ask that you please jump in down in the comments area with a brief about what's happening. Spelling and grammar aren't important! It doesn't matter if you've been posting comments here before or it's your first time.
Any contributions, whether as it airs or during commercials are welcome! Alas, the website running the east coast show feed is also knocked out due to football.
So we need you! And, but of course, we'd greatly appreciate your contributions in the comments.
1:37 AM ... GRR!
You may want to remember this picture. I don't think we'll see another smile out of Amber, unless it's one with tears rolling down her cheeks.
Here's the skinny from that Big Brother House of Various Visions and Sobering Realities:
- What Dick was doing this morning that I couldn't quite figure out was decorating the statues with household items. Um, okay. As I said, the houseguests need a crafts project ... something!
- Still in the early morning hours -- Dick, Jessica, and Eric were laughing about Zach stealing a plate and cup, putting them in his suitcase. They said he wanted a painting and the dolphin faucet from the bathroom.
- Jessica is worried that if Amber goes home and Zach wins HOH, he'll put her (Jessica) on the block.
- Eric tried to tell her that Amber would do the same thing. (I actually don't think she would. I think she'd put up Eric and Dick or Daniele, try to backdoor one of them with the POV if used.)
- More talk about Eric moving to Kansas after the show. Jessica said he'd be her boyfriend there.
- Jessica said she only sees her brother, the one fighting in Iraq, every three months or so. He's only 20 years old.
- They talked about their future wedding... again.
- Ohhh, they smooched. They really smooched!
- The wake up song, appropriately, was "Love Shack." The first few bars of it came through the feeds before it was blocked.
- The BB voice had to yell at them to clean the house.
- Dick accused Zach of throwing him (and everyone) under the bus.
- Jessica and Eric were absent when it came to housecleaning duties. Jessica wasn't even moved out of the HOH room when she was supposed to be.
- Amber cried.
- it seems that Jessica told Amber she'd be going. She said to a teary-eyed Amber, "I did everything I could, but it didn't do any good." I don't think she was talking the washing machine.
- Amber told Jessica that she talked to Daniele and it seemed to go well, but Daniele didn't commit to anything.
- Zach told Jessica whether he stays or not is up to them. If he goes, he goes. If he stays, he stays.
- Zach didn't cry.
- As a last feeds gesture, Amber first had er, um, a wardrobe malfunction and flashed her breasts... twice. Oh, my, then a full frontal. So sad!
- Everything's at trivia and theme music now, has been for a while.
I won't be able to live blog tonight's live eviction show because I'm boycotting it as it seems my favorite Big Brother houseguest in the history of time, Amber, will be voted out. I don't know if my heart can take the stress. So, I apologize to those who expect me to blog the show as it airs. I can't type with tears in my eyes and a heavy weight in my heart! I just can't do it!
Ahem.
I won't be blogging the show because it's not airing here until 1:37 AM due to STUPID football! Argh! Of course, I'll know from when the feeds return who went (and most likely know now). The site which airs the east coast feed of the show is also boycotting due to Amber's impending eviction ... er, football.
But, what I will do is open a show post inviting anyone who's seeing the show at a human hour to jump in the comments section to share the skinny! This could be fun!
