'Big Brother 8' - 9/06 Live Double Eviction Show Live-Blogged from the East Coast

The show is starting here on the East Coast. As it airs, I'll be updating this entry. Please refresh to see the latest and, as always, your comments are welcome!

As I type this on the fly while I watch, misspellings and typos are a probability. Oops

Are you ready?

Recap about the Little Julie Chen Alliance doubting each other, the HOH, the Zach/Daniele/Dick deal, the Jessica and Jameka noms, and the veto comp.

Julie says it Day 69, Big Brother Fast Foward. Eric will do a cell phone vote live for the America's Player tonight.

Jameka doesn't want to campaign against Jessica. Jessica hopes that Dick and Daniele stick to the final four deal. Daniele and Dick try to think ahead. Dick thinks Jameka is too confident. He will string her along telling her she will go home, then offer her a deal shortly before the live show.

Jamkea cried. She's playing for her whole family. She ran and told Jessica.

Jessica tells Eric. Eric thinks that if D&D wanted one of them out, they would have both on the block. Eric is sure that Dick and Daniele will honor their deal and keep Jessica safe.

America's Player -- He got the word that Jameka is "America's" target this week. Verry happy.

Eric approaches Daniele asking her if Jessica was staying. Daniele lies and tells him she is.

Julie is going to tell them about the Fast Forward.

Jameka speaks her bit to us, gave word, guarantee, etc. Strategic first conversation later, hope to still be here. Jessica mentions HS rival and says sitting next to Jameka is harder, may the best person win.

The voting:
Eric -- evict Jameka as per "us." Julie tells him code -- the HG who she tells to lead the others back into the house, that's the target.
Dick -- evict Jessica
Daniele -- Jessica

2-1, as I predicted, Jessica is voted out.

And Eric cries. And Jameka cries.

Eric says he's not surprised, he understands to Dick. Eric said that Daniele should have warned him so he had two days.

Jessica tells Julie campaigning wouldn't have helped. Future with Eric? I love him, feelings real, maybe outside? Goodbye messages -- Dick is so sorry, strategically had to do it. Zach - no hard feelings. Daniele apologizes. Jameka loves her. Eric cries.

HOH comp is coming up. They're off to the backyard.
AP target? -- 1 Daniele 2 for Dick 3 Jameka 4 Zach Text 81818

HOH comp is "Before or After" It's one where they're on stairs, step forward for after (?), backward for before. All right first two rounds. These are events in the house. Daniel just took the lead. Now all tied up again. Daniele and Eric tied for lead. Eric leading by one question now. All tied again now.

DICK won, he's the new HOH.

America is targeting Daniele. I don't think that will work for Eric with Dick as HOH.

Nominations are next. Commercial break!

Eric knows he will be nominated. Dick nominates Jameka and Eric, as we could have guessed. He had a deal with Zach to not put him on the block this week and you know he can't put Daniele on the block. Eric made a half-hearted effort to mention that he should nominate Zach and Daniele, but I don't think it will count as a completed task.

Time for the POV comp! Out in the yard, they have little helmets on. It's called Niagara Falls, 5000 rubber balls, collect only green ones and put in tube, first with 8 in the tube win.

Jameka leading so far with 3, Dick has one, Daniele has one, Eric two. Zach and Jameka leading with three. Zach up to four. Jameka disqualified -- blue ball in tube. Zach needs one more.

Zach has won the Power of Veto!

Time for the veto meeting -- Zach is thinking. Jameka tells Zach she's not ready to go home, teary. Eric says he has no expectations, give me a fair chance.

Zach isn't go to use it, he made an oath to his group. Another live vote and eviction next -- either Jameka or Eric will go.

Last chance for Eric and Jameka to plead their cases. Jameka first -- on the block so much not fun, strategic, kept word, etc., blah blah. Eric says he's disappointed and surprised. I've been good to the three of you, kept my word, didn't elminate you, I've been good to you, be good to me.

The voting:
Zach votes to evict Eric.
Daniele votes to evict Eric.

Eric has been evicted. Dick says he had the best time of all with Eric while in the house.

Julie greets America's Player. Jameka cries.

Eric tells Julie he's at peace right now. He mentioned that the America's Player changed his game. The ones who voted out would be gone if he had played his own game. He says Jessica wasn't a showmance. He won $40,000.

Tuesday will be another eviction followed by another eviction on Thursday where it will be down to the final two. On Sunday, they'll show the HOH. That show won't be live, so I can only think it will take place perhaps tomorrow or Saturday.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Thursday So Far

Although I'm zooming in here late tonight, I will be live-blogging the live double eviction show when it starts here in the NYC area. I think chances are that the second HOH comp will be an endurance one. Dependent on what it is, I'll try to hang in with it!

In comments, someone asked about Dick and Daniele's proposed deal to Jameka. Since the feeds block for a few hours before the live show (and remain blocked through the live show), I don't know if they actually did it. They plan to vote out Jessica and thought they'd make it seem like Jameka was the target, then save her last minute using her for not voting for them to go (or something along those lines).

In house news for today, there really wasn't too much going on besides a huge make-out session in the early morning hours between Evel Dick and Eric.

Whoops! Make that between Eric and Jessica. My mind must have slipped!

They cleaned a lot, complained about ants. It seems the Jessica vote-out will probably be 2-1 tonight. They have no clue about the double eviction planned and still think there's another week to the season past the finale date (9/18, I believe).

Their trivia questions they play instead of the blue liquid vortex need an editor.
@@ CreateD, thank you!

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Through the Overnight Into Thursday Pre-Dawn

As I write this up, all are in bed. But here's a profile screen cap I took of Jessica as she talked with Eric last night.

Here's the skinny on the house happenings last night:

• Dick and Eric had another installment of their ongoing argument about the amount of dishes Eric washes. Eric thinks he's washed 6000 dishes this summer, Evel Dick scoffs at that amount.
• Daniele would just as soon Eric not wash dishes because she doesn't think he gets them really clean.
• Daniele thinks there will be a fan question on the show tomorrow and thinks there should be plenty of time for one. Heh. No time with a double eviction!
• Zach talked about Jen not showering for a week.
• Zach packed his bags to move out of the HOH Thursday. This is unlike Jessica who stayed sleeping in the room and didn't pack until well past the deadline to get out.
• Daniele and Dick talked more about Jen.
• Eric told Jameka he will definitely be voting for Jessica to stay. (America's Player?)
• Jameka told him that she hopes that Jessica stays just so she can win HOH and get "them" out.
• Eric and Jessica talked more about their wedding.
• While in an indoor lockdown, something was set up in the yard. HOH?
• Dick and Daniele went over various comps and house happenings in preparation for a memory-based comp. (Although they don't know if it will be such.)
• Eric trashtalked Jameka to Daniele and Dick. (Personal maybe, but this does seem to be America's Player when added to what he told Jameka earlier.)
• As the evening went on it became three separate groups -- Dick and Daniele, then Jameka, Eric, Jessica and mainly by himself and to bed early, Zach.
• It ended up being an early night for them, all in bed by 3 AM their time.
  
• No one knows what tonight will bring!
  

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Video - Janelle on Evel Dick

Well, talking about him ... not ON him. Sheesh!

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds - Janelle Chat

While I watched and recorded the whole thing, I found the editing to manageable sizes and uploading is a bit daunting, so I'll give you a taste with a clip here. I'm sure someone with a lot more time than I have (and a faster system) will upload the whole thing. I'm a bit leery about copyright issues in uploading the whole hour myself, too.

The things she said which caught my interest:

• She's a fan of Dick and Daniele, doesn't like Eric.
• She's still friends with Will Kirby and has even made up with Rachel and, more recently, James.
• She doesn't think she said anything during the POV comp which gives the HG any indications about how they're doing. She said she was less conversational with Eric and Jessica because they didn't talk to her.
• She enjoyed flirting with Dick and thinks he has a charisma or charm about him when he's being nice.
• She's not thrilled with the America's Player idea.
• She heard a rumor when she was at CBS that Jen was packing her bags, but hadn't left sequester. She said they might all be in separate sequester apartments.
• She thinks Jessica will leave tomorrow.
• She says she's retired from Big Brother, but would love to do The Amazing Race.
• She had dinner with Nick in Minnesota and thinks he's very nice.
  

Here's the clip I uploaded to YouTube. If you see the whole thing posted elsewhere or have questions, let me know!
