Big Brother 8: Live Eviction #6 and HoH Competition #7

(S08E19) "Never before has one house guest gone as far to protect another house guest." - Chenbot
How true, how true. If Evel isn't back in good graces with Daniele after this, he should just wash his hands of her completely, sell any bad photos of her he has to the first tabloid that calls, and hook up with her best girlfriend. And how appropriate that Dick potentially gave up his chance at $500K when it appeared to be money that caused their falling out in the first place.
This is probably one of the best turn of events in Big Brother history. A father/daughter reunion that goes from bad to okay to now possibly setting the stage to take over the game? Come on!
Would Daniele have done the same thing for her dad? Judging by her reaction later on in the show, it sounds like she wouldn't have. Damn those youngsters and their inability to appreciate what their parents do for them.

Tonight's live eviction Big Brother 8 eviction show should be anything but run-of-the-mill. I predict Jule Chen will flub something new and different this week! No, that's not a spoiler, it's just an educated guess based on past experiences.But, if you read on past the jump, you'll see how it seems (this moment in time) the vote will go down. Who will go home? Although these houseguests tend to waffle right up to the last minute, I can tell you the latest.
Beware -- show spoilers ahead!

Wednesdays tend to be quiet days in the Big Brother 8 house. Since they've been featuring the voting live on the Thursday eviction show, they no longer vote on Wednesdays. Usually all that happens is they receive the HOH camera and the Head of House gets to post a diary entry for the CBS website. The linked entry is Daniele's as Jessica's entry won't go live until late tomorrow.But something was a bit different about today in the house. If you just have to know, read on past the jump.
Warning -- extreme show spoilers ahead!
Big Brother 8: PoV Competition #6

(S08E18) This season of Big Brother has given me a serious case of bipolar disorder.
With the exception of Amber, who I've pretty much despised the entire way, it feels like I can't make it from one episode to the next without having wild shifts in who I'm rooting for and who I want to get evicted from the house.
The party most responsible for my waffling is without question the Evel one. I started out the season loving his honesty, found myself hating his cruelness, but now find myself rooting for him again after he went kamikaze on Dustin, Jameka, Eric, and Amber in an effort to save his once estranged daughter.

Have there been more confrontations inside the Big Brother 8 house? Have there been fisticuffs? Who's on the block? Who won the Power of Veto?Who's on first? What's on second? What is Evel Dick doing with all those cups? Is it an upside-down street scam?
For the answers to those questions and more, read on beyond the jump for the latest news from inside that Big Brother House of So You Think You Can Be a Jerk on National Television.

Spoilers! Get your Big Brother 8 spoilers here! Fresh, hot off the press, spoilers! What? There is no printing press here? Uh-oh. I'm going to have to rethink my approach here, huh?If you watched last night's show, you only saw the food competition and the nominations -- Dick and Daniele. But a lot has happened since then. Not only has the Power of Veto competition been held, but so has the ceremony!
Are the nominations the same? Did the Power of Veto save someone? For the latest news from inside the Big Brother House of Mounting Misery, read on past the jump. These are spoilers, mind you!
Big Brother 8: Nomination Ceremony #6
by JJ Hawkins, posted Aug 12th 2007 11:53PM

(S08E17) The stress level was so high in the first 30 minutes of tonight's show that I could physically feel an ulcer forming in the lining of my stomach.
I'm all for conflict in Big Brother. In fact, I probably wouldn't even watch this show if it didn't exist, but we're 16 episodes into the season and I've about hit my saturation point.
Sure, Dick has a tendency to be spot on with his comments while he's belittling the likes of Dustin, Amber, and Eric, but it doesn't make it any less uncomfortable to watch or any less trying on the mind.

Have I said before that I don't like any of the houseguests on Big Brother 8? If not, let me get it on record. Oh, I'm not saying I would be good on the show, but I'm possibly too sane to ever think of being there!I've watched the live feeds and the show every year it's been on. But this is the first year that I really don't care for anyone because each time I think someone is okay, they do or say something incredibly stupid.
Oh, but I'll still watch the train wreck and report back to you. Did you know nominations are in? Did you know that the Power of Veto has already been won? For show spoilers from inside the house, read on...

After Thursday night's Big Brother 8 eviction shocker (not such a shocker if you've been following the live feeds), whatever could be happening in that Big Brother House of Undying Devotion?Is it possible that Eric and Evel Dick have mended fences and have agreed to be golf buddies on Sunday mornings? Has Jameka gone to the Dark Side? Has Amber gone a day without crying?
The food competition was held and new nominees are up for eviction. I know the skinny. Don't you want to know? Read on after the jump -- show spoilers ahead!

(S08E16) So, does anyone want to go halfsies with me and purchase a life insurance policy on Amber's daughter?
Heaven forbid anything happen to her, but as much as Amber swears on her life, it's inevitable that someday her daughter will casually go walking down the street on a cloudless day and get struck by a rogue bolt of lightning - mark my words.
Seriously though, what does swearing on your child's life actually mean in the context of a game like Big Brother? I have a daughter, and I'd swear on her life 1000 times a day if it brought me closer to a $500K prize, mostly because that money would end bettering the life of the daughter I kept swearing on.

Tonight's the big live Big Brother 8 eviction show! We all know that Jen won the Power of Veto, removed herself from the block and Eric was nominated in her place. We know there are Bunny People who could possibly be "late for an important date." We know Eric and Kail are both nominated for eviction.But do we know who's going home? Oh, yes ... we'll know in a few hours. But, if you just can't wait and must know which way it seems the vote will go down, if you must know the skinny on what's really been going on in the house ... this post is for you!

Hey there, it's Wednesday and the Big Brother 8 live eviction show is tomorrow night. Why, I think it's good day to have waffles for lunch, don't you? We can't have eggs because too many of the houseguests have an adverse reaction to them. I have to talk breakfast food as the houseguests are just starting to stir over on the West Coast. I'm ready for lunch here -- perhaps a bologna sandwich.So, have things changed in the house? Are alliances all awry? How will the vote go tomorrow night?
I can't tell you what's certain for tomorrow night, but I can let you know what the houseguests are thinking this minute. Beyond a minute and they seem to, er... waffle.

(S08E15) I'm done with Dick Denato. I used to find his abrasive manner to be appealing because he brought a refreshing level of truthfulness and candor to a reality television show dependent on acts of lies and deception. It was a bold strategy that I respected and it really seemed to be working for him.
Unfortunately, after his actions in the last few episodes, I've finally come to realize that the way Dick is playing Big Brother isn't some well conceived strategy. Simply put, Dick is an asshole. It's the only way he knows how to be it's the only attribute he knows how to emote.

Despite Big Brother 8 executive producer Allison Grodner's best efforts, this season isn't shaping up to be my favorite one. I start to like one of the houseguests and immediately he or she will do something incredibly stupid or behave in such an outrageous way that I question my own sense of reason. The theme of the house itself is okay ... I like Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.I think America's Player should vote out the whole cast and get new hamsters in for the rest of the season. I think this is the first year ever I haven't had a houseguest I'm totally cheering on. Oy!
Nonetheless, I still enjoy being a fly on the wall via the 24/7 live feeds from the house. For the latest Big Brother House Hamster Happenings, read on beyond the jump. Beware -- these are spoilers!

What's that in the sky? Is it a banner plane? Why, yes, I do believe it is! Since the producers have stopped the banner planes, I find this one to be a bit odd. It's not going over the Big Brother 8 house, it's coming from it!"The show lies - the POV Ceremony has already been held."
Of course that's what it says. Would I lie to you, my alliance? I swear on my dead first pet's life that I'm all about truthness. (Yes, Kail's word, but I'm going to steal it.)
What? You think I'm a waste of time and space? Well, I am. Until you read past the jump, that is. Beware -- show spoilers ahead!
