'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Report - Wed. 9/12 So Far

It's basically a house of silence, at least for a good portion of the day. I'll get into the skinny, but a few things first:

Please, please, please ... stop casting aspersions on others in the comments area for whomever they like or dislike in the game. We watch the show for entertainment. Just because a person is cheering on Dick for the win doesn't mean they necessarily agree with or condone his behavior. Just because someone cheers on Zach doesn't mean the person is someone to be attacked.

Dick, Daniele, and Zach are not responsible for the ills of the world, nor for fixing them. We're seeing them in odd circumstance and, while we might think we know them, it's not as if we really do. We watch them with our years of personal experiences, biases, and more in the mix. As often is the case, when you don't like someone, you notice the bad. When you do like them, it's more the good that you see.

In the end, none of them will have any impact on us in our lives. What's more possible is that the friends made online might actually meet up in "real life." It's fine to have different favorites, but please treat others with respect.

Here are the day's events from inside that Big Brother House of Shiver Me Timbers and Let Me Off This Carrot-Stump:
  • They all slept in, got up, went back to sleep, etc. Dick was in horrible shape this morning -- he was tossing and turning in his bed saying "ow-ow-ow."
  • It didn't help matters that the morning was spent in indoor lockdown with noise going on from workers. Dick couldn't smoke, nor could he really sleep.
  • Dick and Daniele speculated a lot about the upcoming part two of the HOH -- they will be pitted against each other and the winner will take on Zach in the third part.
  • The Donatos think they've "already won" and are confident.
  • But, not really. Daniele is getting her antsy pre-comp worries on and Dick is pacing when he's up and about, getting grouchier by the moment.
  • Dick is on a rant about the blue ball in Jameka's tube during the Niagara Balls comp. I'm not sure if he just thinks the comp should have been redone or if he thinks Zach had something to do with it. He's complaining that they didn't investigate it sooner with all the cameras and such. He believes that Zach shouldn't have won that POV.
  • Zach worked out on the treadmill and occasionally tried brief conversations with the Donatos to no avail.
  • Zach is a man alone studying his fingers and his lucky seashell a lot.
  • Daniele actually asked Zach what he was doing at one point to get a "whatever" answer. I think he's decided to block them out as they blocked him out.
  • Not much going on. They still don't know when the second part of the comp will be held, nor can they figure out the TV scheduling of events.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Current Screen Cap 9/12 1:50 PM ET

UPDATE 2:20 PM ET - Dick is now awake and roaming the house. He looks like he's in some pain from the comp. Also, I neglected to mention it earlier (because I conked out after I wrote it), but I also have a report on the comp over at TV Squad.

Zach told Dick he was incredible. Dick is upset with himself. He's not in good shape. He wants a cigarette and to warm up.

I want a nap.

'Big Brother 8' - HOH Endurance Comp 9/11 Update

UPDATE 4:40 AM ET - Dick and Zach still at it. Zach is looking a bit more tired, but then he starts up like a machine again.

UPDATE 3:40 AM ET - Dick is looking tired, Zach still going steady. The rabbit never returned. I think Dick would have quit except he wants to do it for Daniele.







UPDATE 1:05 AM ET - Daniele apparently killed the rabbit. The rabbit hasn't moved since she fell. The feeds were blocked a while, came back to Daniele sitting in a towel, Zach and Dick still standing on their carrots. The rabbit is broken. A staff voice started to talk to Daniele, then blocked feeds again.


UPDATE 12:40 AM ET - Daniele is OUT. The rabbit sort of chugged mid-track on her and she fell. She's hysterically crying and taking a shower.

UPDATE 12:25 AM ET -- Daniele is still shivering, occasionally crying, and not looking too strong. Evel Dick is into his tirade, intimidate, take off guard, etc., approach screaming at Zach. Zach is ignoring him and concentrating on the bunny. Both Dick and Zach look like they can last a LONG TIME. Dick's voice might give out before his hopping feet.










11:00 PM -- all still in, quadcam view below.


As of approximately 10:52 PM ET, all three still in. I took these screen caps from 10:45 - 10:50.
