'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Bulletin - Nominations

Okay, the feeds have returned.

Jameka and Jessica are on the block.

'Big Brother 8' -- And STUFF

Folks,

I came in from work swamped with emails. I get one for each comment and lots of TV Squad and other stuff. I've written an article on the blocking of exit interviews starting with Amber. That should be posted to TV Squad sometime this evening. I'm working on a feeds update and awaiting the feeds block to end as it seems they're doing the nomination ceremony and I want to get that news out to you.

But ... I see some problems in the comments. I really don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable posting here and ask that folks don't make any sweeping generalizations about others based on anything done or said by the houseguests. Please treat others with tact. Some folks are sensitive, some have had past experiences in their lives which make some topics more close to heart. I think we have the best community here of any BB forum I've visited.

But let's move along off the topic of each other. Please...!

Thanks!

As soon as I know the noms, I'll put up a bulletin.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Since the Live Show Into Friday 8/31

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.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds - HOH Comp

ZACH WINS AT 10:53 PM ET! He's the new HOH!




I'll be updating this post as time goes on, so check back!

All are still in the comp now, it looks like Zach might be doing the best but it's hard to tell. -- 9:34 PM ET

9:50 PM ET Update -- Zach slightly in the lead, Evel Dick on his tail. Eric and Daniele lagging behind. Not even halfway full for any of them.

Daniele's bowl at approximately 10 PM ET. Zach still in the lead, Evel not far behind.

'Big Brother 8 - Live Feeds and THANK YOU

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!
