(S08E23) It was kind of a lite night in the Big Brother 8 house, but I found it to be a nice departure from the chaos that ensued during most of last week's episode.

Outside of a setback in Dick and Daniele's relationship, there wasn't a great deal of conflict tonight. In fact, I found a bulk of the episode to be on the amusing side with the highlight arriving when Jameka told Amber that she should pursue a career in modeling once the show is over.

Yes, you read that correctly. I just typed "Amber" and "a career in modeling" in the same sentence.

After Jameka made the suggestion Amber really got into it the spirit of the conversation and over the course of the next few minutes said:

• Nick said I should be on Top Model. He said my face was just blam blam. (I'm guessing "blam blam" is a good thing and does not suggest she'd been hit in the face with a 2 X 4 which is what I would have guessed it meant)
  
• I'd like to be on Top Model. I have the hair the face and the personality.
  
• I would love to pursue modeling - I know I have a really pretty body and face.
  
• I know I could get somewhere in the modeling field with the way I talk, and you know I'm not shy and I'm very outgoing.

The producers weren't helping her case with the images they flashed on the screen during the entire sequence. It was a mixture of Amber cramming various foods in her face and this gem of a photo below that actually caused me to choke on a piece of candy I was eating.


I'm not even really sure how to comment on any of this. I find Amber to be one of the least attractive people I've ever seen both in appearance and substance. I have no idea why Amber thinks so highly of herself. I find confidence to be an extremely attractive quality, however, I like my confidence to be founded on fact. I see nothing that resembles fact in any of Amber's assessments above.

I'd also like to refer Jameka to a good Lasik surgeon. There is something terribly wrong with her vision.

Eviction Ceremony Revisited

If you recall, just before Jen left the house last week she told Amber "not to forget to tell Jess."

As it turned out, Jen was wanting Amber to tell Jessica that Eric could not be trusted, and that he had a girlfriend named Cheryl at home. Jen was basically alluding to the idea that Eric was cheating on Cheryl with Jessica or vice versa.

Amber ultimately relayed the message to Jessica, but it didn't really have the effect that Jen intended. Eric ended up talking to Jessica and explained that he was in an off and on relationship with this girl and that he really didn't know where the relationship was at.



Despite what I just mentioned, the showmance between Eric and Jessica still appears to be right on the cusp of happening as indicated by the conversation the two of them had where Eric playfully asked:

"In an upcoming competition - you earn 30 minutes of cam free time with Eric. What do you do?"

A. Talk strategy the entire time.
B. Rip your clothes off immediately in the heat of passion and spend every minute making out with Eric.
C. Shyly and awkwardly sit for 30 minutes saying "should I" - then spend last 5 minutes sharing the first kiss.

Jessica chose option B.

Why don't these two just make a baby already and get it over with?

Tonight on Dr. Phil

The Danatos appeared to be getting along a lot better in recent weeks, but the relationship took a drastic setback when Daniele expressed how annoyed she was with her vitamin pushing father.

In several sequences, you could tell that she was being really short with him, so he ended up asking her why she was being so impatient with him. She chose to give him another one of her infamous lists as an answer.

More things that Daniele is sick of:

• Sick of everyone in the house
• SIck of Dick farting all the time
• Sick of all of Dick's rude comments
• Sick of Dick trying to parent her all the time
  

Apparently, DIck and Daniele have had two heated arguments the last two nights and they've been loud enough for the entire house to hear. Eric seemed to think that it was all fake but they looked pretty authentic to me.

Luxury Challenge

Tonight's challenge was a girls versus boy affair per Jessica's decision.

The contestants had to get into their birthday suits , get into a giant foam spewing machine, and decipher a serious of Big Brother related words strewn across a series of garments.

Daniele mentioned that she is fairly conservative and is very uncomfortable with nudity. Thankfully, a partition separated the men from the women. I can't imagine how disgusted Dick and Daniele would have felt had they had to see each other's naughty regions.



The girls pretty much destroyed the men in this competition which led to the humorous and slightly hot screencap below. Well, hot if I would have cropped Amber out of it.


As a prize, the women got to go on a two minute shopping spree in the living room where they were able to keep as many outfits as they could fit on their frame. Daniele, the self-proclaimed professional shopper, appeared to make off with the most loot.

Nomination Ceremony


As stated, the episode moved pretty quickly but nothing of great import seemed to happen. Even the eviction ceremony felt a little anticlimactic.

Jessica pulled Eric.
Eric pulled Daniele.
Daniele pulled Jameka.
Jameka pulled ED.

That left Zach and Amber are on the block for eviction.

Zach seemed sad that he'd actually have to put some effort into sticking around this week.

Amber said "God bless you - God" during a prayer where she asked to stay in the game another week. Will Amber's prayers be answered? Is it actually possible for God to bless himself?

Come back on Tuesday to find out.
