'Big Brother 8' - Quickie Screencap Live Feeds Update

These are a few screen caps I just took -- first Daniele is sitting moping, then a quad cam view as she looks in the refrigerator and the rest of the house sleeps. We went from Dick being up spitting, smoking, cooking, cleaning, and ranting to Daniele being up acting like she's moping.

Dick is more interesting to watch. At least he talks!

Now it's to Daniele joining Zach out by the pool. Sundays are a bore for them.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Saturday Overnight Into Sunday 9/2

"This is a disaster, a culinary disaster," said Evel Dick as he cooks up some breakfast while I get this posted. You know ... if I had to have one houseguest this season cook me a meal, I'd vote for Dick to do the task. While Zach and Daniele argue about the right way to boil rice, I see Dick look at a bunch of ingredients and go at creating something tasty from what's on hand. Heck, I'd even give him a real knife if he'd cook for me!

Here are Saturday evening's events leading into Sunday morning's "Brunch with Dick" in that Big Brother House of Culinary Catastrophes:

• Dick obviously doesn't know the meaning of brunch -- it's not even 6:45 there and he calls his breakfast brunch.
• Eric fussed about shaving without hot water. "I'm bleeding! I'm bleeding!"
• Daniele is a fan of the Olsen twins. Why am I not surprised?
• In what started as a talk about movies, Dick went further into the problems in Africa with the diamond trade and Darfur. I was surprised that Zach knew nothing about the issues. Jameka and Dick are both fairly knowledgeable about the events there.
• Jameka is surprised that Neil Patrick Harris is gay. She's easily surprised, I guess.
• Daniele told Zach she's really not sure who should go home this week yet.
• They played quarters, drank beer and wine, made sock puppets, and messed with the body paints in an effort to amuse themselves. BB -- give these folks something to do, anything!
• Eric advised Jessica to go to Daniele and Dick and make a big production out of wanting to go after Zach. Jessica told him that it's Dick and Daniele she wants to target.
• Eric told her he wasn't worried, but Jessica surely is!
• The smitten couple continued in their smitten ways, oblivious to what may happen down the road. Carpe diem!
• Eric thinks Janelle hates him because he insulted her to her face. Smart move there, Eric!
• They still have a big ant problem in the kitchen. Jameka and Dick are the most vocally upset by it ... they want a fumigator in there like yesterday!
• Everyone is asleep as Dick makes his breakfast. At one point he poured too much milk in his eggs, bent to fix them, bumped his head and his microphone fell off. At times like that, he reminds me of Kramer from Seinfeld.
• As I post this, Dick is still the only one up, shaving, smoking, and sneezing. He's singing his own little song -- "all's well, balls smell." He tells us he HAS to win HOH this week, has to to do it.
• UPDATE at 11:05 AM ET -- Dick is still the only one awake. He's cursing the thought of keeping Jameka that long. It's looking like it's going to swing to evicting Jessica or backdooring Eric.
  

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds - Saturday So Far 9/01

After their late-night meet-up with the Queen of Veto, Janelle, the houseguests' excitement has wound down some. Above, Eric schemes with Jameka (obviously not in the screen cap I took).

Here are the happenings from that Big Brother House of Teatotalers:

• Evel Dick apparently flirted with Janelle during the POV comp. I think he's probably more happy about that than Janelle is.
• Daniele is thrilled -- she says Janelle is her favorite and Janelle told her she likes her. Ain't that special?
• Daniele and Dick spent a lot of time thinking about their options. Since Daniele has the veto, the power of the house is in their two votes.
• If they send Jessica home, they think they'll lose jury votes. Daniele wants to go for a Jessica ouster and turn on Jessica and Eric. Dick thinks Jameka should go this week.
• Zach is seriously considering sending Jessica home (he tells Dick). He is worried about an Eric reaction, though.
• Dick thinks Jessica and Jameka are the biggest threats in the house due to their popularity with everyone.
• Dick also thinks that Jessica is taking the nomination personally and would take going home more personally. Zach just shrugged and said, "She put me up."
• Eric pushed Daniele for a Jameka eviction. I would guess that's the America's Player choice.
• Eric is sore from both the HOH and POV comps.
• The comp last night was a morphing houseguests face kind of comp. Those are always fun!
• Jessica and Jameka said that Janelle hinted an America's Choice was coming up and that Daniele would be upset if Dick got it and she didn't.
• Eric told Dick that their plan was coming together perfectly -- Jameka going home this week, Zach next to go. Dick didn't argue, but even if plans have changed, he's not going to tell Eric!
• When Eric asked Dick if Zach was good with Jameka leaving, Dick told him that it didn't matter because it was out of his (Zach's) hands.
• Eric thinks the Little Julie Chen Alliance is 100% to win HOH because Jameka will be gone and Zach won't be able to play because he's the current HOH.
• Jameka still thinks there's a possibility that Daniele will use the veto to save one of them and Dick will be put on the block. (Wait ... look up in the sky! Is that a pig flying over Hoboken?)
• Jameka also thinks it's unfair that Daniele got a letter from Nick and Zach is so pro-Nick that it makes him blind to anything Daniele does.

That's all for now. It's kind of a letdown after about 48 hours of excitement!

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Report - POV and More

As we guessed, the Power of Veto comp (featuring Janelle) was blocked to the feeds.

But we do know the results. The winner of the overnight comp was yet another blonde, but by no means can she be called buxom.

The new Power of Veto holder is Daniele.

Here's the rest of the news:

• Zach mentioned to Dick that he found it odd that Eric took the phone call offer (which he handed off to Jessica) instead of trying for HOH. (Eric said he hurt himself in a fall right at the start and was so far behind, I think it made sense for him. He knew he wouldn't win.)
• Jessica and Eric think that Dick and Daniele have/will betray them.
• At about midnight their time, the feeds were blocked and didn't return until nearly 3:30 AM.
• Jessica is very upset that Daniele won. She told Eric that Daniele already told her that she wouldn't use it. (To me, that sounds like a good thing and right if they follow through with the Jameka eviction plan. I think Jessica thinks she's going home, but it would be worse for them if she saved Jessica and Zach put Eric or Dick on the block.)
• Daniele thinks Janelle loves her and doesn't like Eric.
• Dick said Janelle told him he looks hot.
• Zach tried telling Dick that keeping Jameka and sending Jessica home may be a better way to go. No commitment from Dick on that thought.
• Jessica mentioned she liked HOLLY. Argh, the voices, the voices!
• There's where we stand. I don't know if the POV Ceremony will be held on Monday or whether it might be earlier. The HG still have no clue it's a double eviction week looming ahead.
