'Dancing With The Stars' Season 14 Dream Casting
'Happy Endings' Scoop: James Wolk On Being Max's Valentine
Big Brother 8: Nomination Ceremony #9
(S08E26) Well, it took 62 days in the Big Brother house and a wealth of ridiculous expressions (as seen above), but Zach finally won himself an HoH.
As a result Eric, Jessica, Dick, and Daniele are absolutely trembling in their collective boots since they have no clue what the loose canon is going to do with his newfound position of power.
Dick was probably the house guest doing the most trembling because two hours before the Head of Household competition he gave Zach a verbal abusing for the ages.
Before that, Big Brother threw a couple of wildcards into the HoH competition.
For starters, the contestants were informed that an additional container had been placed next to their giant bowl and that the first person to fill this container up would get a special telephone call from their home. They could either keep the call for themselves or give to another contestant.
Eric pulled the trigger because he was pretty much out of the game at this point. He gave the phone call to Jessica not so much out of strategy, but because he is infatuated with her. If he was smart, he'd have used the call strategically and given it to Jameka.
Next, the house guests were offered up two additional cups to transport tea with. For each cup used by a contestant the entire house would have to take cold showers for a day. All four contestants ended up using the additional cups which equates to eight days of cold showers for the house.
As stated in the intro, Zach won the HoH competition. 
Okay, quick rewind to two hours before the HoH competition. Dick confronted Zach about his efforts to get him or his daughter put up for eviction last week. In true Dick fashion, he ripped Zach a new orifice by calling him every rotten word in the English language. He may have even thrown in a few in Spanish.
At this point, I think Dick has pretty much cursed out every contestant in the house except Jessica. There's still around three weeks to go, so Jessica isn't quite free from being the recipient of a Dick bashing. That looks a lot dirtier typed out than it sounded in my head...
Zach's HoH Room
This is how everyone felt about seeing Zach's HoH room:
Next topic.
Daniele basically sold out her dad once everyone left Zach's HoH room. I can't say I fault her. Her separating herself from her father was destined to happen at some point in the game. I'm actually surprised she managed to make it this far before doing it.
Next, Eric had been dying to reveal some his secrets to his showmance so he let Jessica in on the fact that he cast the phantom votes for Mike and Kail and that he was the party responsible for squirting the mustard all over Jen's stupid shirt.
I personally think he's letting Jessica in on too many of his secrets too late in the game. All he's really doing is making Jessica realize that he's playing the game a lot harder than she realized - which will probably make her wonder if he's really been playing her all this time.
Finally, Jessica got to talk to her brother who was home from I-Rock, pardon me Iraq. Not a great deal transpired during this conversation, but we did discover that people are making and selling "Booyah!" shirts in Kansas, which helped me remember why I have no real interest in ever visiting the state of Kansas.
America's Player - Who should Eric get nominated?
America selected Jameka and Eric thought it'd be a pretty easy task to accomplish.
He immediately started working on Zach to put Jameka on the block pointing out the obvious fact that she's going to be a tough person to be up against in the finals since so many people in the house like her. I tend to agree with his logic on this one. Of all the parties left in the house, Jameka is the last person I'd want to go up against. Not only is she well liked, she has God on her side.
Next week, America will select which house guest Eric should mimic. I'm hoping America goes with Dick so he can get a taste of how hateful he is, but it would be equally amusing to have Eric mimic Jameka and the religious wisdom she loves to impart.
Before the nomination ceremony, Daniele and Dick hatched a plan to try and get Zach to put Eric or Jessica up for eviction. Their goal was to get rid of a member in their alliance without having any real blood on their hands.
There's no disputing it, the Danato Duo are a couple of clever beavers. Every plan they come up with ends up working to some degree and as you'll see below, this week was no different. I've said it once and I'll say it again. The house guests are idiots for not getting Dick or Daniele booted from the house by now. There's no getting around it now. One of them is winning Big Brother 8. It's been preordained.
Nomination Ceremony
Here's how it played out:
Zach pulled Dick pulled Daniele pulled Eric.
Jameka and Jessica were put up for eviction.
This is Jessica's first journey to the chopping block and I think she has some cause to be concerned. Eric felt responsible for Jessica being put up so expect him to work extra hard next episode to keep his lover safe. If there's any doubt that Eric's heart is way wrapped up with Jessica, I leave you with this parting shot. And I thought the crying themed screencaps would end with Amber's departure...
