'Biggest Loser' Season Premiere Tonight

I know that some of the blog readers really enjoy The Biggest Loser, so I wanted to pass on some news I received about tonight's premiere. Alas, there's a time conflict with tonight's Big Brother live show, but here's the skinny!

The show starts at 8 PM ET/PT and it's a two-hour premiere. After it airs, NBC will be blogging the events (by the show's trainers themselves) at this blog site. You can go to that site now to leave any questions you might have about the trainers, contestants (past or for the new season) or whatever might be on your mind about the show.

Then, after the premiere ends at 10 PM ET/7 PT, you can check for answers and the buzz!

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Into the Dawn 9/11

As I post this, the houseguests are asleep. Zach turned in early, but the others made an attempt to stay up until the ShoToo show ended. Daniele, once again, had her feet (bare feet this time) all over the kitchen table as she talked to Dick a few hours ago.

Dick made a tuna salad and Daniele told him it reeked. Daniele ate a cut-up apple with peanut butter on it. They actually got along well although she said she didn't want him to go to Europe with her.

Daniele told the Internet that if you buy the feeds, only buy for the first few months as it gets boring. Yes!

Lots of talk about the wrap party and such earlier. Something is being built in the yard, but that's about all that's been going on.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Through Monday 9/10 So Far

Jameka is sitting in the HOH room with Zach watching the spy screen. She's developed Eric Eyes. What's up with that? She looks guilty and sneaky like she's shoplifting a poodle or something.

Zach, on the other hand, watches with somber determination, yet with a smidgen of defeat in his eyes.

In other news from that Big Brother House of Supercilious Sycophants:

• Evel Dick and Daniele trashtalked Zach to each other in the early morning hours.
• They say it's chilly in California. (It's hot and muggy here in the NYC area -- blech.)
• Throughout the day, they all tried memorizing events, fellow houseguest facts, and such in case one of the parts of the HOH comp deals with them.
• Heh. As I was typing this, Jameka was trying to do math about the houseguests helping Zach and all the BB voice said was, "Jameka, knock it off!" She jumped back. "That's illegal? It's illegal? I was only trying to use the tools you've provided us."
• Zach told Jameka he's determined to go for the grand prize -- $500,000.
• "Mmm. Mmm? Mmm." <-- insert Jameka canned response.
• Daniele thinks it's odd that BB hasn't said anything about the POV Ceremony. (It's usually held around 5 PM their time on Mondays and the POV gets called to the DR beforehand.)
• Daniele suggested it might be held tomorrow on the live show (so they've been told the show is live). Dick doesn't want it to be live because he has an Dick-Intimidation Speech all ready and won't be able to do it on live TV.
• Dick thinks that BB changed the whole show schedule because the game's "all played out." (You would think a fan of the show like he and others are in the house would realize that the show NEVER ends the last week of September! Each year the HG think the show is a week longer than it is. It must be the date on the contract they sign or something.)
• Daniele thinks they (Donatos) have had an advantage in the game because they've had each other in the house. Dick doesn't think they've had any disadvantage.
  
• Zach is seriously studying dates, times, people, objects in the house ... with Jameka quizzing him and coming up with subject matter for more studying.
• Will it help? Maybe.
  

TV Squad: Remembering Adam Finley

It's not on site as I post this, but the tribute to Adam Finley from TV Squad will be at this link when it is. If you read the posts, I think you'll see why Adam's sudden passing was such a shock and tragedy. Truly a great mind for writing and a very nice person, too.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Into Monday Morning 9/10

As I post this, Daniele is the only person up in the house and she's making her infamous cookies. It makes me wonder if that's all she makes at her own home! All had gone to bed earlier, but Daniele apparently can't sleep so it's cookie time.

When told that it was September 9, not the 11th, Jameka really doesn't believe it. They talked about previous houseguests, the mustarding (they think either Nick or Eric did it), the banner planes the one week. It's just been rehashing the past. While Jameka hung out with Daniele and Dick, Zach was more distant.

Still no brouhahas.
