'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Brief - 9/11

Once again, the house was on the quiet side today. They know it's a live show, so Jameka's primping.

The big news of the day is that they all have to pack, not just Jameka. Of course, the grassy knoll theorists are out and about. I don't have any insider information, but it seems to me that because it's a live show with a live POV meeting, everyone but Zach (who can't go on the block because he's HOH) would have to pack. While we know Daniele will save herself or Dick, because it will happen live, they have to be prepared. Technically, it's possible that Daniele, Dick, or Jameka could be evicted tonight although we're sure it's going to Jameka.

I guess we'll know in a few hours, eh? As usual, I'll be live-blogging the show as it airs here in the NYC area (starting at 9 PM ET). Everyone's invited!

UPDATE at 7:25 PM ET -- The feeds had been blocked, came on while Jameka was packing and Zach supervising her. Dick did his intimidation bit on Zach, although Zach wasn't too intimidated. This is what Dick had planned for the veto meeting, but can't do on the live show. He got out his insults, remarks about Zach sucking up to Jameka for the vote, etc. He's in full force. I wish he'd use a different tactic -- this is OLD.

Then Dick told Jameka if there was anything he could do for her, just ask.

Then he lit into Zach again.

'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.
