'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds - Current QuadCam Screen Cap

I'd say we're watching grass grow, but I think it's fake grass. Actually, Daniele had been sunning, Dick is asleep still.

'Big Brother 8' - Live Feeds Report Into Monday Morning 9/17

Well, well, well ... look who's talking again! Of course one thing they mentioned (just before feeds were blocked) is that the show should have scheduled two cameramen in case they don't stay in the same room. True? I dunno.

They finally started talking again when Dick consoled a crying Daniele who wanted to go home. In a way, I can understand her feeling that way. I've thought in previous years that this stretch of several days with just the final two in the house and not knowing which will will is way too long.

I'm crying here, too. I want them to go home! The show should have had the finale last night instead of torturing me here for another two days!

Okay, I lie. I'm not crying. But this final two bit could definitely be shortened to two days without losing a thing.

Here are the happenings since last evening in that Big Brother House of Familial Affection and Devotion:

• Dick said Eric's jury question was about why each person here deserves to be in the final two. He said Amber doesn't deserve to be here, Dustin doesn't deserve to be here, Jen doesn't deserve to be here ... feeds blocked.
• Dick said Jessica's question was stupid and she said she didn't believe him. He said he doesn't care if she believed him or not.
• Amber told Daniele she was pathetic when she questioned her. (Um ... of the two, I'd say in levels of pathetic-ness, Amber has Daniele beat hands down. In my observations, Daniele's main problem is immaturity and she's spoiled. As time goes on, those might change. Amber's got serious issues which need more than time to heal.)
• Dick said that Amber was probably told the question and she most likely doesn't know the meaning of the word pathetic. Daniele doubts she (Amber) could spell pathetic.
• Their talk was interrupted when there was a fire in the oven -- the BB voice called for a fire extinguisher. There were no fatalities other than the taco shells.
  
• When the BB voice asked if all was okay and told them that their safety was their main concern, Daniele called out, "Liar!" The feeds blocked.
• Although they're talking, Daniele is still upset that Dick told the jury that he did all the dirty work. (Well, he did!)
• Apparently Eric asked Daniele to tell three reasons she shouldn't win. She only came up with one -- that wasn't going to attack him, wasn't going to campaign.
• Jen's question was "Why should I vote for you to win?"
  
• Dick once again told Daniele he didn't campaign against her and he's sorry she took it that way.
• Daniele said that because of him she had to play two games in the house. Doing the dirty work was HIS strategy and she had to cope with others about it doing damage control.
• Daniele told Amber she didn't want her vote -- it didn't matter.
• Dick was taken aback by Jen's question about why the jurors shouldn't be in the final two.
  
• Both Daniele and Dick think that Jessica was nasty in the questioning and her own strategy was to hang onto Eric.
• Dick said that Jessica's strategy had Eric gotten evicted before her would probably be to sleep all day.
• In the jury questioning, Jen said she didn't respect either of them as human beings. (Perhaps she respects them as some sort of marsupials? A plant form?)
• Jen said she didn't want to vote for either of them, but she has to vote for one.
• Dick thought that for the ShoToo time, they should sit around and trash their ex-housemates.
• Daniele baked cookies ... again. I swear that's the only thing she knows how to make!
• They trashtalked the others and, as a result, grew more of a bond as father and daughter. ;-)

There ya go ... they've now gone to bed for the day, er ... night.

'Big Brother 8' - 9/16 Show Live-Blogged from the East Coast

The show is about to start here in the NYC area after a football delay. Remember, tonight's show is NOT the finale and we won't be seeing the jury questions. It's the season recap show and I heard there will be a focus on Dick and Daniele.

As it airs here, I'll frequently update this entry. Since I'm typing it looking at the television instead of my monitor and keyboard, there may be typos. I do that to prove I'm not a JackieBot.

Everyone is welcome to join in with comments.

Ah, the recap of the HOH part one comp.

Tonight the final two will take a look back at the most volatile, humerous moments of the summer.

Dick gives credit to Zach for turning his game on. Daniele made a more snarky comment. Now we see Donato celebrating again. Who woulda thunk it? Dick thinks he already won because he's improved the relationship with Daniele.

Daniele tells us it was worth it although she's hit the bottom many times. They have their feast and champagne. Dick is still stunned. Daniele thinks she's had the hardest time in the house emotionally over anybody. They show the start of the season when Dick came down the stairs all over again.

Into a montage of their bickering. Golly gee, I didn't like seeing this the first time around! The show then turned to a brief focus of them getting closer after the HOH comp part one.

In discussing who will win, they think each other will. Now it's into a montage of Evel Dick being evil to Jen. Jameka and Dustin are just ignoring it. He's waking Dustin up, then Amber ... all in his act to make them hate him and vote him out instead of Daniele.

A montage of good people and praying now. Jen walks through Jameka's prayer looking for a white belt for her bunny suit. Note Jameka is parying on Howie's "Jack Shack." Amber is praying, God bless you, God.

The Dick and Jameka shout fest with the clapping about the magical ping pong ball (POV choice) where she calls Zach a nobody. Zach looks down in his bunny suit. Yo mama!

Recapping Nick and Daniele, then onto the Eric and Jessica showmance ... er, romance. The move to Kansas recap conversation was kind of cute, but now it's to the smooching. Again.

In a promo, they mention they're looking for applicants for BB9. Who's game?

Jen is crying over her Memory Wall picture. Ah, the memories...!

The iced tea incident. I now realize that Daniele's voice in this reminds me of the Olsen twins on that old show.

Jen re-destroys Dick's cigarettes. The infamouse burn fight.

Tha Amber crying montage. The "hot mom" -- Jameka tells her she will be in a magazine. (Jameka doesn't mention it's probably MAD Magazine.) Now Amber is sure she has model potential. Now she's about to flip out on Eric... duck, Eric! Zach looks strangely incongruous wearing his bunny suit through this.

It's onto the fun things -- Zach streaking, Eric prancing in Jessica's dress. Jen and Eric wrestling. Onto the mysteries of the house. The mustard and hinky votes. They think Eric or Nick for the mustard, added Dustin in for the votes.

Talking about their plans for the the money, Daniele is coming across as positive (though she shows a different face on the feeds). Dick is happy.

Seaon finale Tuesday, America's Player revealed, jury questioning and the winner of BB8!

'Big Brother 8' Delayed on East Coast

60 Minutes started a few minutes ago here in the NYC area. Everything is delayed due to football this time.

When Big Brother 8 starts, I'll start live-blogging the show as it airs. Keep in mind that tonight's show is the season recap episode, so we can't expect anything new and exciting -- old and exciting, perhaps.

I have a feeds report from earlier in the day over on TV Squad - it sat a while, but it's different from what I posted here. They're live-blogging the Emmys there tonight. Thankfully, it's not me doing it!

As for the feeds, there really isn't much to report. Daniele and Dick seemed to take shifts sleeping and avoided each other all day.

TV Squad: Kid Nation

My first post about Kid Nation is up over on TV Squad. Will you be watching?
