'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Report - Into Saturday Evening 9/08

What a difference a day makes, en? Last night Zach had it all planned out and today his plans have all gone awry with the Donato Duo overturning the game once again.

Here are the events of the day from inside that Big Brother House Crushed Dreams and Ultimate Teams:
  • Once again, Evel Dick went for the "hate" move. While this isn't a strategy I like and I'm really not sure how it even works for him, he goes back to that when he thinks he can intimidate folks, shake up their concentration or game, or wants to be the one chosen to evict over Daniele. He planned to do his thing to Zach this time. Zach isn't all that easily intimidated and can control his temper. Not the best target for Dick's ire attack.
  • Apparently the Diary Room person wanted him to tone down his Dick Attack -- one word couldn't be used, there could be consequences for his actions. He thinks they panic too easily.
  • Zach continued to get closer to Jameka, something aided when he told her he had been a theology student.
  • Zach pep-talked himself a lot. He told himself he always chokes in comps and he can't do that today.
  • Dick had gotten up around six, but found a lockdown was in effect in prep for the POV comp -- so he couldn't smoke. Uh-oh. The way to make an antsy adrenaline-filled dude even more antsy and adrenaline-filled!
  • Jameka prayed.
  • Zach prayed.
  • They prayed together.
  • Dick and Daniele did not pray.
  • Dick (apparently forgetting his hate-fest for Zach for a moment) borrowed Zach's HOH CD player to play his own short-reign CD which he hadn't listened to as of yet. Air guitar and dancing. This guy needs Guitar Hero!
  • Daniele, on the other hand, was very nervous almost to the point of looking ill.
  • The comp started late, as is the usual for the house -- doesn't matter what season, I don't think I've ever seen a comp start at the pre-announced time!
  • It finally started about 2:30 their time and the feeds were blocked for almost two hours.
  • Then the news came in shortly after the feeds returned. Daniele had won the Power of Veto once again.
  • Dick is beside himself with glee ... once again.
  • Jameka apologized to her family via the live feed cams.
  • Jameka's fate is sealed. She's the only one to put on the block to replace a Donato as Zach is the current HOH. The sole vote will be cast by a Donato.
  • It sounds like Dick may have come in second.
  • Zach told Jameka he hates Dick -- hopes he wins the money and kills himself. Oh, my!
  • Zach told Dick that Daniele carried him (Dick) through the game.
  • Dick keeps saying that Zach is racist because he once said "that's very white of you." Now, I never personally heard Zach say it, but others (looking at Dick and whistling while thinking of Amber) have said worse.
  • Jameka is using her time left before going to sequester to talk to everyone -- Daniele, Dick, and Zach. She wants to know their strategies, what happened during certain incidents, alliances, etc. She thinks she will bring the knowledge to the rest of the jury -- but it's possible this year the jury might not all be sequestered together and, if they are, game talk is forbidden and handlers are there to enforce that. At least, that's the way it's worked in past seasons.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds - POV Comp 9/08

Daniele won PoV, goodbye to Zach's plans.

'Big Brother 8' - Current Live Feeds Screencap and STUFF


Well, I didn't say it would be exciting, did I? Above is the current scene from the quad can view of the house as all of the houseguests sleep. Nothing of note really happened after their bout with the arts and crafts last night. BB had issued a curfew -- bedtime, no talking or fooling around, sleep -- last night in anticipation of the Power of Veto comp today. Tentatively, it's scheduled for 9 AM their time, but BB notoriously is late with these things.

Whatever and whenever it happens, I most likely won't be able to post about it until evening (ET). So, if you see or read news, feel free to comment about it. (If you see folks posting WRONG news, please correct 'em!)

In other blog-related stuff -- graphic artist Zoetawny's computer decided it was a good time to go seriously ill, perhaps die. I received word that there are problems with her computer, she's fine. But she might be absent for a bit.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Update - Finally...!

Big Brother gave them something to do -- too little too late. Dick went into the storage room and found two boxes of arts/crafts stuff for age 8 and up. Jameka, Dick, and Daniele are going to make candles and STUFF! Woohoo! Zach is taking a shower in the HOH bathroom and plans to go to bed. He doesn't know about the crafts.



'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Report - Into Friday Night 9/07

When no one talks, it's hard to write about the hamsters. So, much of this will be screen caps I took this evening. I have a post awaiting publishing over on TV Squad, not sure when it will go live. But I didn't want to neglect you folks!

After the nominations ceremony, it became more of a house divided. Daniele and Dick trashtalked about Zach and Jameka to each other while Jameka and Zach more kindly and gently trashtalked about Daniele and Dick.

Nothing definitive is going to happen until the Power of Veto comp tomorrow.

Daniele exposes her knees to the world! One thing I must mention, although her behavior is often not showing it at all -- when she and her father were talking, she said, "No matter what happens, we're going to be friends forever again." At least she seems to deep-down realize that her father wants to be in her life.

Above is the view from Zach's spy cam as he watched Jameka, Dick, and Daniele in the kitchen post the feeds return after nominations.

Alas, this Dick picture I edited down for size for my TV Squad article and didn't save the original size. But I think it's a nice shot of him. He's not down at all about the nominations although he's ticked off at Zach. Right now, Dick is in BB Euphoria -- he's excited to be this far in the game.

Zach is watching the spy cam. No, he's not nude.

Jameka is chanting prayers in the hot tub. She and Zach exercised together earlier and talked a lot. It's odd that now they're new best friends, isn't it?

But, since they've all separated for some time now, no one is even talking.

Tomorrow will be the big excitement!
