Big Brother 8 Daily Coverage

Technical Note: We're having some problems again this year. The message saying that the server is busy, was just that. The message regarding contacting the billing department is just stock text. Our service problems are not financial, although you're welcome to donate.

12:00AM BBT: It's been another night of gossip, name calling, plotting and paranoia, but it's mostly done quietly. Daniele, Jen and Zach are still wearing their bunny costumes that they agreed to wear for the rest of the week. In the bathroom, Jen weighs herself in her bunny suit: 131 lbs. Amber in the bathroom blow drying her hair while wearing Dustin's clothes. Dick goes upstairs to the HoH room to get some cigarettes and get "those macadamia nut things" for Daniele.

12:20AM BBT: .All feeds are on Daniele and Dick talking about what BB will give her for her impending birthday. Daniele hopes for a letter, the one she got as HoH was old, written in the first week, she wants one from Kris. They laugh at how Jameka got hair rollers from Ralph's on her birthday. They imagine who they'd pick if they could cast an All-Stars season. Dick was a fan of Lisa in BB3 and Janelle in season six. For the next hour StephenV summarized some of the conversations around the house. Read more It's the same gossip, repeated over-and-over again.

3:25AM BBT: It's pretty much a repeat of the above. Jameka is braiding Amber's hair in the living room. Dustin and Jessica just left the DR where they were discussing the '24-hour nap.' Dick returns from having a cigarette. The girls report that he has been having nice, non-game chats with them. Jessica joins Eric in bed and they continue to talk to the LR group, despite Jessica's caution that Zach is sleeping. Dustin is fixing bagels in the kitchen.

A few minutes ago a feed showed Jen and Kail chatting in their round bed, in the dark.

Light banter between the LR and BR, with the conversation centering around the fantasy marriage of Jessica and Eric.

By 3:30 Dustin is getting into bed, Jameka is talking by the Jessica-Eric bed, and Dick and Amber are left in the LR. Zach can't possibly be sleeping through their noise, but he makes no indication of being awake.

It sounds as if Dustin and Jessica are going to do a self-imposed 24-hr nap. They can get up for 15 minutes every two hours. Eric has said that he will have to leave the Jessica bed eventually because his nose is all stuffed and he will be very noisy.

Jameka runs some errands for Dustin and then returns to the LR. In the meantime, Dick is telling Amber various bar and 'friends' stories. Jameka changes her mind and goes in to sit on the foot of the Jessica/Eric bed.

3:45AM BBT: They tell Jameka about last night's game of "I'd do that for a dollar," with the challenge being to take a dump in your pants in front of ten people you know. She laughs - but returns to the LR to work on more braiding after Amber's bagel break.

Jessica mentions that she smoked (Marlboro reds) from about 16 to 19. She quit because her grandmother got emphysema. Dustin used to smoke too - at his worst he was a pack-a-day.

Dustin has a cat, Jessica doesn't like them, and Eric is highly allergic. His cat is anorexic since it used to live with drug dealers. Jessica asks if they have cats that never get big.

4:10AM BBT: Still more of the same after a long FotH.

Jameka's terminology for doing a beaver shot -- "She was snatching." Amber says she'll kill herself if she ends up in the same bedroom as Jameka. Jameka causes a a FotH when she says that she got the heads-up that there were some “strong biatches” on this season's show.

When feed returns, she poses the question of what each would do with $1000 of fun money. Amber would gamble - for the first time. Dick would take a weekend trip somewhere. Jameka says maybe a laser job on her leg hair. That prompts Dick to say maybe laser eye surgery. He uses the drug-store magnification glasses to read and hates having to carry them.

Dick goes on to discuss his Mom and how frugal she is. As he gets more personal, about her marriage, he brings on a FotH. When feed returns, they are discussing why men can't seem to stop cheating. Dick says the genetic makeup of men is to procreate - so the sex desire is always there. Amber asked Dick if he ever cheated on his wife. He says yes, we get FotH.

Jameka is finally done with the braids (for tonight) - but is still fussing and says there's more to do.

Things we just have to know…

Amber has never done a threesome, doesn't think she ever could.

5:35AM BBT: Amber is drawing in her eyebrows and loving her new look - spending her time in the bathroom. Dick comes back and says he's ready for bed. He tells Jameka that tonight has been a really nice night - minus any of the bullshit that typically goes on in here. Somehow they move into the conversation about the decor in Dick's house - 60's modern, complete with a "Sputnik" lamp and a bed that rules - Egyptian cotton sheets, mohair blanket.

Dick asks how long it will be before Jameka watches the show? They decide it’s best to see it all before talking to anybody, and probably not to talk to anybody for 10 days. Three days to watch all of the shows and read stuff, then a week to get over it.

6:00AM BBT: Jameka and Dick are discussing the season and that they're almost halfway through. Dick mentions that as each person goes, the house seems that much more empty. Jameka says, "Wait... except for Mike." They laugh briefly about his non-presence.

Dick says, "For all you east coasters and crack heads out there who would rather watch me talking shit than The Early Show." [I'll take the east coast one, thank you - Katydidit] And with that, he thanks Jameka for such a nice night, hugs her and Amber, and retires.

The two girls remain behind on the LR couch. They begin to discuss clothes for the live show, and then move to production topic and we get FotH.

6:15AM BBT: The girls are finally in the bathroom doing their bedtime ADLs as the sun rises. They share giggles over Eric's teeth. Amber says the front (top) four are capped and the bottom ones make them giggle more, especially since his father is a dentist.

Amber now admits to Jameka that if she had that $1000 she'd move this chubby (hip handles) to here (fanny, I think).

Jameka moves to the toilet and calls Amber on some puddle in there. Amber explains its water from her dropping her microphone in there and they get into a long conversation about how clean the toilet is or isn't at any given time of the day. They have sanitary seat liners in there and they do giddy laughs over how and when they use them, and what does or doesn't fall through them.

6:30AM BBT: They've been going through late night giggles at the expense of Zach, but it's fun to watch them laugh to tears. They shift to the kitchen, comment on conditions, stop in the storage room and comment on the trash bin, stop by the sliding door and sweep the tiles. [They really have the best of intentions to head toward bed, really they do - Katydidit] By 7:00AM BBT they finally went to bed. 8:40AM BBT: It's snooze fest 2007 in the Big Brother house. 10:45AM BBT: FotH.

11:05AM BBT: Dick and Kail on patio. [We’re back from FotH – BB are playing the old music and I like it for a change of pace!] They’re speculating on the votes and if it was Eric both times. They wonder if it was Dustin and Eric and if they are in fact talking to each other about the votes. Read more

11:35AM BBT: BY group talking about PoV and how they don't understand why Dustin just backed out and didn't do anything for the PoV. Then talk of Jameka and why she would give up 5 HoHs but not wear the bunny suit. They say it doesn't make sense. More PoV talk then FotH again. Read more

11:40AM BBT: Back from another FotH. Everyone is in the kitchen talking about banner planes and previous seasons. Daniele says that they used to let them just see them, they wouldn't do lock downs. Jen says, "It's funny that they still try when people know they get put in a lockdown when a banner plane is there."

Dick says that Eric must have been in the DR screaming and yelling. Daniele says it doesn't make sense to her. Jen asks how long it takes to do that and Dick and Daniele both say "no time at all." Jen says, "I never got a banner plane when I was nominated," and Daniele says, "That is because they knew the plan." Jen says, “Oh yeah I know I was just kidding.”

Quiet again or general chitchat.

Kitchen group consisting of Dick, Daniele, Jen, Kail and Zach still participating in general chit chat. Zach was called to the SR and BB had left him some Advil. He returns to say BB left it for 'him' causing Daniele to laugh that it was all for him. Daniele thinks he looks like a Pharaoh with his bunny ears/hat

Dick has left to nap and they discuss what the CBS website is putting up as the main picture each week, and Jen mentions they have a poll on who is the favorite, who do you want to win [I was just reading the message board thread about Dick/Jen being the two favorites as of this week lol – georgectv]

It’s just the four bunnies up and everyone else asleep, or at least off camera. Read more

12:30PM BBT: Jen goes to the bathroom and Dustin is up. Jen tells him they are on an indoor LD. Dustin asks why and Jen says, “Yea, banner.”

Meanwhile… Daniele is still whispering very softly to Kail and Jen joins them again. Daniele: “I definitely think it's something you should bring up.” Jen suggests they go to the HOH room. Read more

1:40PM BBT: We’ve been back from FotH for a bit. Feeds one and two are still on Daniele, Kail and Jen in the HoH. They talk more about the same thing. Eric and Dustin and how the votes have been. They really think that Dustin did it one week and Eric did it the other week. Kail says that she has never caught Eric in a lie that she can remember. Daniele tells her Eric said something really mean about her then tells Kail repeatedly to not tell him or anyone that she (Daniele) told her this.

Daniele goes on to say that Eric said he wanted to keep Kail and get rid of her next week, so she'd be stuck in sequester and not be able to see her family. Either Kail or Jen went "oooohhhhh." [ I couldn't tell which] Not long after that, one of the camera people in the walls sneezed and they said, "Bless you" and laughed.

Kail talking about how she thinks Dustin will end up voting to keep her in the game. She says that she thinks Dustin wants her to be frazzled this week because she wasn't last week and that got him in trouble. She says that she thinks Dustin will flip and vote to keep her. Kail laughing that she believes everything she is told until she confirms it with someone else.

BB calls Jessica to the DR. [That should be a site for sore eyes, she’s been in bed all day] Feed three is on a sleeping Dick and feed four is on Dustin sleeping. FotH.

1:50 to 2:00PM BBT: Back from FotH. All 4 feeds now on HoH room with Jen, Daniele and Kail. Jen is talking about how their schedules are messed up because they stay up all night long. Jen says it is kind of good because it's so hot outside and they all remark that it wouldn't be good especially because they have those hot bunny suits on. Daniele is excited about being able to take HoH pictures tomorrow.

Talk moves to the croquet game they got and how Daniele says her Dad thinks it is for HoH Thursday. They talk about how certain people haven't practiced so they think it will be to their advantage. Kail says that "them 4" play their hearts out for the competitions and the other side is skating by. Daniele says that she feels she is the only person trying for the competitions and that Jessica and Eric had been feeling the safest so they haven't been trying. [Jessica was one of the last people on the HoH competition last week - GemRep] Jen says, “Maybe that's why Dustin wants Eric to stay, is because he'd still be a target." Daniele says that's not the case and that if Eric stayed, and he and Dustin were on the block, she thinks Eric would still go home because he's the better player. Daniele and Jen tell Kail that she would probably have a better chance at getting Jameka's vote if she hadn't picked her name for veto. Dick is up and has joined them in HoH.

Dick says that it needs to be pointed out that Eric has deals with everyone. Jen says that it has. Dick says yes but not in front of everyone. Jen says that Jessica told her that she doesn't have a deal with Eric, that she just hangs out with him and is friends with him. Dick says that he was thinking about her and that she is sweet and innocent. Jen says that she knows she is fine either way with who ever leaves this week. Dick says that they need to talk to Jameka. Dick says, "I kept saying it, I kept saying it."

BB calls Dustin to DR. Jen says that is funny that they are calling people to the DR "who have been sleeping all day."

2:05PM to 2:20PM BBT: Kail tells Dick about what she has explained to Jen and Daniele, that she thinks Dustin will vote for her to stay on Thursday. Dick says yes that he knows about the frazzled stuff because he was pissed off. Dick asks Kail where she got the information from that she wasn't going home last week. Kail says not Eric. Kail said she "had a pretty good idea from Dustin." Jen says she didn't tell her. Kail says that she didn't get the information from Jen.

Feed switches to Jessica and Jameka in the bathroom area talking about voting. Jessica says, “Even with that questioning it is better to keep him here.” Jessica says that if Eric had something with Jen, he doesn’t anymore. Jameka doing her normal "mmmhmm” but also adds that he is clinging more to Jessica now and that isn’t a bad thing. Jessica says that she is ...and then doesn't finish the sentence.... then she says, "I'll keep him for now, but.... it's in the back of my mind."

Jameka says, "Are we sure that he isn't going to go with the other side" and is repeating that she figured out that Eric said once that Nick had to go because he was playing with the "bros and girls" and that he was friendly with everyone, but Jameka says that isn't true about Nick but it is true about Eric. Jessica says "yeah...you're right." Jessica begins to brush her teeth. Jameka says, "Hey...he hasn't eaten for 3 days" and Jessica says, "I know I asked him about it. I keep telling him we are fine but he is worried."

Jameka asks Jessica why she thinks Dick yelled at Dustin last night. Jessica thinks it is because the house is split now. Jameka says, "yeah I guess". Jameka comments, "yet again Zach is just going through the motions and stays another week."

Feeds switch back to HoH room with Daniele, Dick, Jen and Kail. Dick continuing to talk about how he has brought things out to the open because of the way he is. Kail talking about votes still. Jen saying if Dick can keep his mouth shut because then they'll vote just to spite Dick. But Dick says that he has done a lot of things for that group, hid nothing, and he's been totally honest with everyone and they all know Eric has lied. Dick says that Jameka even brought up the handshake and how Eric is in the perfect place and time and hears the perfect things in the house. Dick saying that they need to realize that Dustin and Eric have an agreement and Jameka and Jessica need to realize that. Jen saying that she is going to talk to Jessica about that. [Same stuff and same conversation just different time....I wonder how many times we are going to have to hear them talk about this – GemRep]

2:30PM BBT: All 4 feeds on Jameka showering. Dick was in the bathroom and comes out and asks if they can talk today. Jameka says "Umm today?" and he says, “Yes.” She says, “Well I would rather....” Dick says, “Tomorrow?" Jameka agrees. Dick says he understands and that they can talk tomorrow. Jameka asks if they are going to have a meeting before eviction and Dick says no because Dustin has gone to the other side so he doesn't see the point.

Dick goes back to HoH room. Dick says he talked to Jameka and he says, "We are going to talk tomorrow." Daniele says, “She didn't want to talk today?" Dick says, "no” and that she asked him about having another meeting. Daniele says, “We aren't going to." Dick explains the reason he gave Jameka on the group not having a meeting.

Daniele is called to the DR and Kail heads downstairs to take a shower but ends up in the room with Eric, Jessica and Dustin and talk of the lockdowns this morning because of banner planes and saying there are a lot of them again this week. She wonders if this will be an every week occurrence. Feeds keep switching following Kail around the house, as she is getting ready to take a shower.

2:45PM BBT: Has been really quiet. All 4 feeds have been on Eric making waffles in the kitchen. Dick comes in and says, “They've started again." Eric says, "What?" Dick says, “The banner planes.” Eric answers, “Oh I think that is the way it will be to the end." Dick says, "I don't, they are about one of the same people that the other one was about!" Eric comments, “Maybe." Dick tells him, “No maybe, they are."

3:00PM BBT: Things are quiet now. Everyone is up and out of bed except for Dustin and Jessica. Eric is making waffles for people who want them but he isn't having any. Dick is cutting potatoes to have for dinner. General chit chat.

3:15PM BBT: Dick is counting how much food to prepare for dinner, and he says 5, then says 6, and Jen says no 8, then Dick says no, 6.

Eric goes into the bedroom where Dustin and Jessica are talking about how their "bed day" will be ruined because they have to go outside on lockdown. Jessica says, “We aren't going." Dustin says they are not entitled (to stay) in bed. They deserve to stay there because Dustin had a hard HoH week and Jessica has been being pulled by the dark side, which is exhausting.

Eric tells them that two of the three of them aren't being cooked for because of what Dick said in the kitchen. Some talk about banner planes again and what Dick is saying about them.

3:30PM BBT: Nothing going on. People eating, general chit chat about food they miss.

3:35PM BBT: BB calls the lockdown everyone needs to go outside. Dustin, Jessica and Eric in the bedroom (they are really slow to move). They are playing some sort of trivia game.

Dick is outside on the couch with Daniele explaining what he said to Eric about the banner planes and how he just shut up and walked away when Dick told him he thought they were about the same person. Dustin and Jessica get out of bed to go outside. Jen goes into the big bedroom and packs. Kail asked about it and Jen said she is always afraid they will take her stuff. She doesn't know why she has to pack every time. Jen finally gets done and takes her bag with her outside and FotH.

3:45PM BBT: Everyone is outside. Zach is fiddling with his bunny suit, Dick and Daniele are on a couch together, Jameka is doing Amber's hair (more braiding), Eric, Jessica and Dustin on other couch lined up. Kail just staring. Not sure where Jen is, can hear her, but don't see her. Jessica seems to be in a funk. She was funny when they were playing the movie trivia game, but not speaking outside. FotH

Feeds areback. Jameka and Jen are discussing America's Choice and hoping it is a phone call from home. Daniele said earlier that the question had been posed already. [Did I miss something on Sundays Show? – pierecka]

Zach said when he gets out he is going to be so lazy. He said when he told his boss where he was going to be, his boss said, “So, you are going to live in a toilet for three months?” Eric asked Zach how soon after he gets out will he go back to work. He starts rambling about it, and said two weeks max, minimum five days. Talking about his DolphinCrash Company. .

HGs, the LD is over. Dustin, Jessica, Eric all went inside, Jameka still doing Amber's hair, Jen is watching.

They've been in bed all day...

4:10PM BBT: Dustin and Jessica go back to bed. Dustin said he didn't know what that (the lockdown) was all about. He asked if she saw Daniele's "chipper personality" out there. Dustin asking Jessica what would she be doing outside the house. She explains she gets out of school at 5:00, then dances on Tuesday nights. She is listening to the radio, Power 93.9. Read more

4:30PM BBT: Feed switches to Kail and Eric in the kitchen. She said Dustin is really pushing for him. He said it isn't a done deal. Kail said Dustin said it is, Eric says, “No.” He said they both know what they need to do in the next week. He said in his speech he will bring up that for three weeks, they have the same nominations, yet that isn't who they have gone after.

Eric said no matter who stays, he thinks Daniele and Dick have sealed their fate. He said he isn't sure what Zach is going to do, it doesn't matter who he votes for, but if he aligns himself with Dick and Daniele, that is a big mistake. He said the number of the people left in the house and the chances of winning are getting better for some, and others have no chance. Eric said Zach's running around yesterday selling out Dustin was a bad move.

Eric said Dick huffed when Eric offered him a waffle this morning, and Dick said he is cooking dinner for six tonight. Someone said there are eight (discounting the people on slop), but Dick looked at the picture wall and said, no, six. Eric wasn't sure who out of him, Dustin and Jessica isn't invited.

4:40PM BBT: Dustin and Jessica call to the two nominees (saying it in a funny way) to come in. They asked Eric and Kail to please get them some melon, and even told them how they wanted it cut. Dustin also wants some cereal. Eric jokingly said to her in the kitchen, "I hate these people." (Meaning Jessica and Dustin.) He told Kail to feel free to use that against him. They are then served in bed.

Eric asked if Dick and Daniele are still saying she has her guaranteed 4 votes. Kail says, "No." Eric asks, "How could they have 4 yesterday, and now only 3?" She tells him, "It was a solid 4 until the PoV ceremony, but since the nominations, it's now only three." Eric says, "That's messed up. She (Daniele) promised you on the bar you were safe, and now she can't keep that promise."

5:00PM BBT: It's really a dull sleepy day. We're just posting this stuff so you don't think we're goofing off. Eric is telling a drinking story about how drunk he got once upon a time, Zach comes in the room and Eric starts the story over from the beginning for Zach (Zach is sitting on the end of Dustin's bed). "There's this bar where they sell what they call 'A trashcan of alcohol.' It's like $75 and they just start pouring bottles of liquor into what is like literally a trashcan..."

Kail and Daniele are talking in the kitchen: Daniele tells Kail that Eric hasn't spoken to her since yesterday, and if he ever does try to speak to her again she probably won't listen, Daniele also says she doesn't know how she feels about Amber.

Kail: "After the PoV ceremony, Amber started to cry and she said Nick should have never gone home." They talk about how Kail was told by Dustin that Zach was going up last week, and how shocked Kail was when Nick was put up, Daniele says he did it to take the heat off of himself after taking the prizes during PoV, stating that what Dustin did in that PoV competition 'was huge.'

Kail: "I'm really worried this week."
Daniele: "It's one vote and everyone in this house knows the truth. Dustin is someone that needs to be dealt with later. I like how everyone is trying to be Nick to Zach all of a sudden, they're so pathetic. "I've never been around such a fake group of mean people in my life ever." Daniele says.

5:15PM BBT: Daniele explains to Kail that Amber came to her every day with something on Nick, which Daniele says made her think that if Nick was playing Amber when she knew Nick thought of Amber like a sister then Daniele had to question if Nick was playing her.

Daniele: "Zach. Jen hated me and then Amber, now I hardly talk to her anymore (Amber), its so ridiculous.. Last week Amber came up to me and Nick had said he only wanted to talk to me on his last day, and then Amber came up to me and said 'oh Nick wont talk to me,' and I told her to talk to him and just say something like 'you know I care about you,' but she went into the storage room and told Nick 'oh I stuck up for you till the end.' Amber was talking for me about like how I felt." (She's rehashing the whole process of how it came about that Nick was put up.)

Kail is just listening.

Daniele says that although Amber and Dustin are friends, she thinks they are using each other. She relays to Kail how Amber once told her that she (Amber) can get Dustin to do whatever she wants.

Dustin comes through the kitchen and Kail says they're bored when they're in bed all the time. .Daniele tells Kail she should go hang out with them so they don't suspect anything with the two of them talking.

The Challenges

The Prize

The Temptation

The Response

The Winning Move

Tonight's Broadcast: After the nomination ceremony, Jen was her usual unflustered self. Dick continued to taunt Jen. The HGs find out that Dick and Daniele's plan is to evict Eric, and they rally against Dick and Daniele. The members of the LNC don't understand why the Donatos want Eric out of the house. Zach meets with Daniele and promises to fight with Daniele to avenge Nick's eviction. Dustin thinks what the Donatos are doing is heinous and if they try to go through with their plans, "It will be a bloodbath." [Drama Queen]. Jessica, Dustin, and Eric have one singular goal: Put an end to the Donato family reunion.

It's time to pick players for the PoV competition. Players are selected by drawing balls from a bag. As HoH, Daniele gets to pick a player first, she gets Zach. Jen gets Dustin, and Kail draws, "Houseguests Choice" and selects Jameka. Amber will host: "Are you about to face a series of Sticky Situations. Each one just a little bit worse than the one that came before. The person who bids the highest number will be required to actually complete the task. The person who bid the lowest number is eliminated from the game. The last houseguest standing will win the Power of Veto! How far are you willing to go to assure you win the veto? Time to reveal the very first item. 'Show me the Bunny!' Over the next five days, how many hours are you willing to wear a bunny suit in order to stay in this competition? Please write down an answer that is between zero and 120 hours. "

Dustin, with the lowest number was eliminated from this competition. Jameka's number was in the middle, so she was OK, it prevented her from having to wear the bunny suit and the lowest bidder, Dustin, ended up being eliminated from the game. Zach, Kail, Jen, and Daniele, are you all required to wear the bunny suit for the next five days.

Amber: "And on to item number two: 'Dump the Funk'. Over the next 24 hours how many times are you willing to have this funky mixture dumped over your head?" The contenders took a look inside the caldron and got a whiff of the funk. Daniele: "It's manure." Kail: "It was, like, looking in the bottom of a port-a-potty. It was just gross." Amber: "OK, houseguests, please write down an answer that is between zero and 24 hours." Everyone offered to dump the funk on their head for 24 straight hours. So that meant everyone remains in the game.

Amber: "Our next item in 'The Numbers Don't Lie,' at stake, a $10,000 cash prize. The person who writes down the highest number from zero to 10,000 wins the amount of money they wrote down. However, he or she will be eliminated. " Everyone wrote down "Zero," so everyone stayed in the game.

Amber: "Let's reveal the next one. 'Sloppy Summer.' Over the next 30 days, how many hours are you willing to eat nothing but slop?" In this round, Zach was eliminated. Kail and Jen will be eating slop for 720 hours.

Amber: "Our next item in 'Power Shortage!' Out of the next five Head of Household competitions, how many are you willing to not participate in?" Daniele was eliminated in this round.

Amber: "And the final thing in the 'Numbers Don't Lie' is 'Money Walks.' The Big Brother grand prize is a half a million dollars. How generous are you willing to be? How much of that prize money, up to $250,000, would you be willing to give up to win the Golden Power of Veto?" Amber: "OK, houseguests, reveal your answers, please." Jameka: "I bid $10,000 of the prize earnings." Kail: "$248,999." Jen: "$250,000." For the DR, Jen says: "I hope now my houseguests believe me that I'm not here for the money, that I'm here for the challenge." Jen gave up $250,000 and got the PoV.

It's time for the Power of Veto meeting: Jen: "This is the veto meeting. Kail and I have been nominated for eviction. And I have the Power to Veto one of the nominations. Kail, do you have anything to say to have me use the power of veto on you?" Kail: "Well, Jen, there is no way that I could or would ever ask you to sacrifice one more thing, which is your safety, for this week, and you've earned it, and enjoy the power this week." Jen: "OK, OK, well, said. I obviously have earned this veto, and I will be using it on myself again this week. So because of this, Daniele, you have to choose a replacement nominee." Daniele: "Basically, when you have an enemy standing in front of you, you know that they're your enemy, and you know that they're against you, and you know that they're against every one of you in your group I was closest to Nick of anyone in this house and I know 100% he was falsely accused and he was set up. And with all of that said, I'm sorry, but Eric, I choose you." Jen: "This veto meeting is adjourned."

Eric speaks from the DR: "It's a desperation move. They're trying to bury the player that they think is the best player and the biggest threat to them. It's going to blow up in their face. Dick and Daniele, they are buried dead in this game."

Kail comments from the DR: "Daniele made a lot of promises that I'm just not sure she can keep. I got the impression that I was going to be completely safe. We'll see. "

Dick: "This is rad! I love this! This is so awesome! Me, Daniele, Daniele, Kail, and Jen are working towards the same goal of keeping Kail in the house. How's that for flipping the whole thing over? How's that for blowing up this stupid, retarded L.N.C.. Pow! It's over. It's done."

Announcer: "America's Player is in danger. Who will be evicted from the Big Brother house, Eric or Kail? Find out live Thursday at 8:00, 7:00 central on Big Brother 8.

6:30PM BBT: All four feeds are on Dustin and Jessica sleeping. The feeds switch to Jen and Dick in the kitchen. Dick is doing dishes. Very little conversation going on between them. Jameka came through on the way outside to look for Amber and mentioned that Dustin and Jessica are sleeping. Dick said that they are enjoying today because Jessica and Dustin are sleeping all day and it's quiet without them. "That's all they do anyway."

7:45PM BBT: Outside Jen tells Kail, "I still think you're going to stay." Inside, Amber is putting the heat on Dustin to vote out Eric. She puts her foot down and is very aggressive. I don't want someone in here that I can't fuckin' trust. Eric's is too fuckin' smart. She told Dustin her and Jameka can't vote him out because they gave him their word. (Since Dustin didn't give his word, Amber wants him to be the vote that gets him out.) She also tells Dustin to go and tell Dick that he will vote out Eric and get back in his good graces. Dustin doesn't thinkl it would be that easy to get in the Donatos good graces after he scorned their family name by saying, "Don't trust the Donatos." Amber's disappointed and goes back to Jameka to finish braiding her hair. See the Video

7:55PM BBT: Eric says his shark fin hairs style has got to go. BB wants him to keep it for continuity (so when they edit stuff from the week his hair doesn't keep changing), but Eric's sick of it and wants to cut it tonight.

8:20PM BBT: Jameka's still working on Amber's hair. Amber confides that she's confused about what to do regarding the vote. Jameka: "Mmmmm hmmm me neither."

Daniele and Jen are setting the table. They said that they are not setting the table with two more plates because, "those two are not eating" Dick cooking potatoes, Kail is doing dishes, Jameka's still braiding Ambers hair, Eric is sitting on the couch, Dustin and Jessica are in bed. BB gave them 14 beers and three bottles of wine because it has been an incredibly boring and quiet day. Amber says she gets all choked up when the announcer adds a "Thank you" at the end of a message. BB: "Houseguests, you are not permitted to talk about your diary room conversations. [pause] Thank you."

9:00PM BBT: Daniele relates that while working at Hooters, a woman asked her what the difference was between "Southern fried chicken" and "Baby back ribs." "My jaw just dropped, I don't even remember if I answered her."

9:15PM BBT: Jessica and Dustin have been talking about the votes in the BR. They agreed that they have to keep Eric in the house and it’s a numbers game. If he had a deal with Jen, she is with the other side now, if he had a deal with Kail she will be going home and if he had a deal with Dick and Daniele after this week it’s over now. Dustin tells Jessica that he will be the next target if Eric goes this week. They both agree that the best thing is to vote to keep Eric. Dustin thinks that Eric has done some of the things he has been accused of but Jessica says it doesn’t matter to her.

Dustin thinks the only reason Daniele and Dick are so upset about Nick is because they would have never voted them out and that Eric won't turn his back on their alliance cause he needs them to take him to the end. It is too much of a risk to vote Eric out because Jameka and Kail can not compete for HoH.

Jessica tells Dustin that if Dick gets HoH and puts him and Eric up, she will vote out Eric because she doesn’t trust Eric anymore.

Meanwhile... General chit chat over dinner

10:15PM BBT: Dustin is jumping around on the bed and paying with the overhead mic. Jessica is still in bed. Earlier, Jameka tried to smooth over the issue with dinner and wanted to know why Dick didn't cook for Jessica and Dustin. Dick said he cooked for everyone but was not going to serve them dinner in bed. Daniele said they were not coming out for dinner so she only got out the amount of plates she did because they had already said to Jen they (Jessica and Dustin) were not coming out for dinner.

10:30PM BBT: Amber tells the HGs that she was originally cut from BB but after two days she was called back and was told that she made the show, they had made a mistake. In the kitchen we have Daniele, Jen, Dick, Amber, and Kail talking about the picture wall. They think everyone looks like their in a good moods except Kail.

Amber tells Dick he looks hot in his pic but looks like hell "in real life." Dick: "What a bitch." Amber: "I'm just kidding."

Eric Jessica and Dustin in the big bedroom. Jessica asking if people are mad about them and Eric says that "sound travels" and people can hear them making fun of people and demanding they bring them things since they are on the self imposed bed prison. Zach comes in and talks about his belly button ring and Jessica asks what made him decide to do it and says "look how big this thing is" referring to his belly button.

10:50PM BBT: Zach talking about his shaving his chest telling Dustin he would never have a hairy chest like Dustin's. Dustin says his brother says he doesn't think his chest isn't that hairy but says his dad has a forest.

Back in the dining area: Dick says, "I bet the people watching on Showtime are thrilled with us tonight." Daniele says "I think its cancelled by now," joking that after they saw Zach's "wiener," that would have been the last show.

The conversation is just the same old BS. Read more.

11:20PM BBT: On the patio Daniele and Dick speculate on what the Big Brother 8 montages of each HG would look like. They figure Dick's montage is him yelling at everyone. Kail asks "what is mine?"   Daniele says "Being quiet." Daniele says hers will be "eating crap" even though Dick says it will be her and Nick.

Daniele says she's cried a lot and asks Kail if she's cried.   "Oh my God, I've been on the block for three weeks..." She says in DR when they ask about "her kids" she cries.   Daniele says she's never seen her and remembers when Mike left and says "I'll give you one."

Dick says BB told him not to talk about "The voices in his head." Dick used to do a late night monologue on the patio and analyze things saying things like, "Kail says there's no alliance.. But the voices in my head say things don't add up..." [It looked kinda scary the first night I saw it. --Morty]

"I wonder what celebrity has died since we've been here." Dick wonders out loud. Kail adds "Or arrested." They talk about how all the stars go to rehab.   Dick saying "Betty Ford" was the first and biggest and remembers when he took a picture with "Johnny Depp" and he wore a "Betty Ford t-shirt."

Talking how their last name is used so much in the house Daniele says "The Donatos" and Kail asked how it's spelled and talking about Googling their names Dick saying when he did old interviews came up.

Inside in bedroom Jess Zach Eric and Dustin talking about Nick and the night the beers were taken away and other old news.

11:40PM BBT: Amber says not to say anything "to him"[?] and Jen says she won't and says "I know you are" and Amber says about her vote "she has no choice " and Amber says "Jameka gave her word" and both of them are stuck because they won't go back on their word.

Amber says that both her and Jameka are confused and Jen says Jameka wouldn't do that and Amber says "you're right" and Jen is working on an Eric eviction and is telling Amber she's scared that he will manipulate her. Amber says "If Eric finds out we talked he will go after us if he stays."

Jen saying the boys are manipulative and why is "Dustin fighting so hard for Eric" and Amber says Dustin thinks he's a good guy" and Jen says I know Eric doesn't think Dustin is.

Jen really working Amber. Jen says she doesn't hide her emotions saying "I really don't have emotions for myself or other people." Amber says people show it different ways.
