spool of lies

Yes, I'm here a bit earlier than usual. No, I'm not really a morning person. But in my grief over my favorite houseguest Amber leaving the Big Brother 8 house last night, I couldn't sleep. I tossed and turned all night. I looked to the skies for a vision.

Or not.

What I did do was watch the Head of House competition play out on the live feeds. I settled in with a soft drink and a snack thinking it might take hours. And, it did.

How many hours? Read on beyond the jump! Beware -- show spoilers for Sunday night ahead!

Don't forget! Tonight is the live Big Brother 8 eviction show! Live in some areas, at least. You might want to check your local listings. Due to pre-season football games, the show is preempted in many areas. In some, it's showing after the late night shows, in other areas it might air on a sister station.

Of all nights for the show to air at 1:37 AM for me! Have I ever mentioned that I'm not a football fan? Feh. Either Amber or Zach will leave tonight. One will become the third member on the jury, one will stay on shaky ground inside the house.

I know you must all be on pins and needles wondering whether it will be Zach or Amber going home tomorrow on Big Brother 8. Will the Little Julie Chen Alliance (Eric, Jessica, Daniele, Evel Dick) stick together in their voting? Did America want America's Player to vote out Amber due to her incessant weeping?

One non-spoiler I feel I need to mention to show fans -- look at your local listings for tomorrow night's show! Football is preempting the live show in many areas, east and west. Here in the NYC area, it's not going to be shown until 1:37 AM on Friday.

Spoilers after the jump!

As the eviction day on Big Brother 8 looms closer, just what have those happy hamsters in the house been up to? Have there been fisticuffs? Perhaps a brouhaha or two? Or, better yet ... a clandestine relationship between Amber and Zach?

You know ... share the block, share the love.

Although Tuesday is generally not a huge spoilers day, beware that if you read beyond the jump there will be spoilers for the Tuesday show if you haven't seen it yet and possibly for future shows.

You've been warned.

Tomorrow night's Big Brother 8 television show will include the Power of Veto competition, the Power of Veto ceremony and the America's Player task. Like Amber, I had a vision. I already know the outcome of these events. It was divine intervention. It had to be. I looked to the heavens and the answers came to me.

Um, either that or I have the 24/7 live feeds from the house. Since divine intervention doesn't seem to visit my life often, I guess it's the feeds.

It's a rainy Saturday in the Big Brother 8 house. Yes, that means the hamsters will tend to nap a lot. After all, they can't enjoy the California sunshine in the rain, can they?

So, does this mean nothing has been happening in the house today? Not by a long shot, I say! You see, Saturday is the day they hold the Power of Veto competition which isn't aired on the show until Tuesday. The nominations were yesterday.

You know you want to peek. I know you want to peek.

Beware -- Sunday and Tuesday show spoilers after the jump!

Are the remaining houseguests in the Big Brother 8 house feeling a Jen-uine sense of loss today? After all, the Jenius has left the building. But life goes on.

How have the houseguests been reacting to Jen's eviction after so many weeks of trying to achieve the goal? What about the food situation? Who's on slop for the week? Has Evel Dick stopped smiling yet?

The nominations are in. Don't you want to know before Sunday evening? Read on past the jump for extreme show spoilers!

Here's a spoiler for the front page! It's quiet in the Big Brother 8 house and the houseguests are all getting along! Wow. Who woulda thunk it, eh?

Oh. They're getting along because they're all asleep? And here I thought I had breaking news. But there have still been a few things of interest -- sort of like being a person of interest as these houseguests are all a bit suspect to me -- which went down in the late night and overnight hours going into today.

Here I am, on the scene with the latest news from inside the Big Brother 8 house. Okay, I'm not really on the scene. I'm in my apartment. But, fear not! I bring you news anyway!

There has been some excitement in the house, but you know I can't get into it before the jump. After all, these are spoilers. You don't want spoilers to be glaring right here on the main page, do you?

Yes, I am wasting time and space. Read on for the latest news from the live feeds -- show spoilers abound!

It's Monday! You know what that means, right? On Mondays, those lovable (cough) houseguests inside the Big Brother 8 house hold their Power of Veto ceremony during which one nominee might be removed from the block and replaced with another. If you didn't read my last post, you might not even know who won the Power of Veto.

If you're just watching the show, all you know are the original nominees. Don't you want to know more? And, I'm sure you're very concerned about which houseguest ended up with Eric's woobie.

Beware -- show spoilers after the jump!

It's Saturday in the Big Brother 8 house. Do you know what that means? After all, even though the show airs three nights a week, Saturday isn't one of those days.

So, whatever could be happening in that Big Brother House of Mad Men and Women Who Cry Over Them?

How about the Power of Veto competition? Bingo! What? You don't even know the nominations yet? Well, let me tell you all about it ... after the jump.

Beware -- extreme show spoilers ahead!

Well, well, well ... did last night's show surprise you? It wouldn't have if you knew the happenings from inside the Big Brother 8 house as they happened!

I was letdown by the abbreviated segment with the "mysterious visitors." Watching it on the feeds was almost magical -- the barbershop quartet sang five or six songs. But then on the show I think they knocked the whole thing down to two minutes. On the feeds, the Mini-Mad Hatter flubbed the line "a stitch in time saves nine" substituting the word "snitch" more times than he got it right. Was that shown? Nope!

Nominations are in. Read on past the jump for show spoilers!

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!

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.

Beware -- there will be show spoilers ahead!
