Big Brother 8 Daily Coverage

After midnight: It appears that Zach never got out of bed during the night. Daniele helped Dick with HG facts because they think that’s what the competition will be about. Later, Dick wonders if the competition really will be about all the information they have been studying. They’ve played cards, folded clothes to pack and done laundry.

Sometime later they’re packing and talking about the season reminiscing. Dick is wondering why there weren’t so many prizes this year like a car. [Because Eric won it all – Jem] Dick tells Daniele that if there is a cash prize she will probably win it because she is America’s sweetheart. Daniele disagrees and says, “No way!” She doesn’t think just because she won competitions, doesn’t mean she will be viewed that way. Talk continues till early morning.

8:30AM BBT: They’re all sleeping.

9:55AM BBT: They've been woken up and are being sent outside of a LD. Dick isn't amused. Everyone is outside, and Dick is talking about his eye infection. Zach complains that they've almost all had some kind of infection.

10:10AM BBT: Zack starts talking about the blue ball falling into the tube an we get FotH. We come back to Zack plucking his eyebrows. [Go back to FotH! -Jem] Zack asks if when they competed in the HoH, did they have things shooting at them too. Daniele questioned, "Shoot at us? We where under water.” That discussion causes another FotH. We come back again to Dick sleeping, Zach doing his laundry and Daniele painting her toes.

10:55AM BBT: They're still on OD LD. Dick is sleeping. Total silence! 11:20AM BBT: Zach gets up to check his laundry, Daniele moved her arm. [Wooohooo, they are alive! - pierceka]

Dick is up and having a smoke. Zach still doing laundry, not happy with it, said "dammit." That is the only thing said so far in 20 minutes. Dick asked Daniele if it had been more than an hour. She said yes. Zach is sitting on washer/dryer.

12:00PM BBT: They're really doing nothing. See the video 12:20PM BBT: There still doing nothing. BB tells them the LD is over.

1:45PM BBT: Daniele is in the bathroom. Dick is still sleeping. Zach isn't being shown of feeds.

Daniele, standing proud on her carrot.

Air cannons blast them with mud and dust.

Dick looks confident

Daniele offers words of encouragement.

It's over, Zach has Won!

Part two is underwater HoH puzzle.

Daniele has trouble with holding her breath and solving the puzzle.

And the winner is...

Tonight's Broadcast: No BS tonight, Julie gets right to the matter at hand: "Welcome to Big Brother. It's day 76 in the house and we're down to the final three. Who would have thought Dick and Daniele, the estranged father and daughter team would make it to the homestretch? Tonight we'll find out if Zach has the physical and mental strength to take on the dominant duo. And by the end of this hour, the final most powerful HoH will be crowned. That person will then evict one of their house mates live deciding who they will take to the final two. "

"But first when we left Dick, Daniele and Zach they had just begun a competition called 'The Bunny Hop.' And while they thought it would be a walk in the park, little did they know it would become one of the most physically and psychologically challenging competitions in Big Brother history."

From the DR, Daniele says, :"Going into this competition I told my dad if it has anything to do with cold water I'm absolutely doomed." Julie: "Houseguests, how are you doing so far?" Daniele: "Fabulous." Julie: "Well, hold on tight, because you know what it takes to keep it a garden lush. That's right, it takes lots of rain." Daniele: "The water was honestly the coldest water I've ever felt in my life. It felt like melted snow falling on me."

Daniele tells Dick to distract Zach, Dick starts his verbal tirade, here's the clean version: "How did you fix that little -- that little with Jameka? 'Awfully white of you,' Zach. How did you explain that? I want to know. What about the other comment that you would like to own a midget. That was another really good one. Come on, Zach. You're quite a guy. Come on, do the teeth thing. You always do it when you are nervous. Those big old broken piano keys of teeth, your dad's a dentist and you got teeth like that? Got awful quiet all of a sudden. Come on, Zach, you don't have nothing to say for yourself. You had a lot to say the other day with your [Bleep] speech. The problem is that you have confusion when it comes to fantasy and reality. In your brain it's all confused. The game that's been played in the house is not the game that's been played in your head. Nothing to say, Zach? Come on, say something. You're -- you got something to say, you always do. You had quite a speech the other day. "

Dick's taunting only seemed to make Zach stronger. Zach laughs like a maniac, "Come on. I feel good. I'm not moving! Yeah, yeah! I got 40 tattoos to make myself mean! [Zach mocking Dick] "

Daniele is out. She's shivering and crying. Dick tells her no to worry. She bundles herself up with towels and runs inside for a hot shower. When she comes out of the shower, she returns to the BY. Wrapped in a blanket, she whispers words of encouragement to her father, "Remember, when one of us can't come through, the other one always does. You've got it. You know Vincent is watching you right now." Dick: "I know." Dick: "And I'm sure he's extremely proud of you. Right here, Vince. We're going over. Come on, old man. You've gotten this far. You're doing amazing. So good."

Daniele: "How are you doing? You can't move it? Can't you just stand there or no? You are doing so good. Are you okay?" From the DR Daniele comments: "Watching him up there in so much pain, freezing cold. I know I could hardly move his legs. It sucked. It sucked!"

"Oh, don't quit, don't quit. I know, I know. I know. I know. He's in a lot of pain. I can see. Because he doesn't have anybody here for him. And nobody cares. Hang in there. You're okay. You waited three years for this. Three years. For what, to go out like Kail? No. For this. For this. 74 days. Only a couple left. Whatever happens, it's OK. It's OK. It's OK. It's okay. It's okay. If you can't do it, it's OK."

At 2:20AM, Daniele tells Dick, "Whatever happens, happens." With that Dick lets go of the key and is out of the first part. From the DR, Daniele: "He stood out there for eight hours, this 44-year-old fart is what I call him. Of course it would have been nice to sweep Zach right out of the competition. But I'm still extremely proud of him, what he did. And it's OK."

Zach wins Part 1. Zach, gracious in victory, tells Dick he was incredible. Daniele brings Dick and Zach a stack of towels.

HoH Part Two: Julie: "Welcome back to Big Brother. After a grueling seven and a half hour face-off with Dick, Zach won the first part of the HoH competition. Automatically advancing to round three. Now father and daughter compete against each other. "

Daniele: "I walked out into the backyard and I saw two really big tanks of water. Building into it, I'm thinking 'OK, I can do this. It might not be that hard.' [Reading from the instructions] Welcome to 'Chain of Command.' Before you are two tanks. In one tank are the pieces to a puzzle. You must collect these pieces and transfer them to the other tank where you will assemble the red lines in order that the houseguests held head of household. The houseguest that correctly a essentials the puzzle in the shortest amount of time will move on to compete in round three where they will face-off against Zach to be the last head of household of Big Brother 8.' Once the time started I ran up the stairs, ran into the little tank and started grabbing the puzzle pieces. I'm not very good at like puzzles like that. So I was a little bit nervous." Daniele completed the puzzle, next it was Dick's turn: "Going into this competition, no one was looking to throw it. Which means that one of the other of us is competing against Zach."

In the end Zach revealed the scores: "Let's see who the winner of the second part of the HoH competition is. The winner will face me in the third and final HoH competition. And Daniele, your time is 24 minutes and 9 seconds. So Dick, let's see your time. 12 minutes and 48 seconds." Daniele: "That's embarrassing." Dick :"No, it wasn't easy. It was hard." Zach: "Dick, you won the second part of the HoH competition. Are you facing me." Dick: "I'm ready, man."

Julie: "Daniele at the end of the Bunny Hop competition, you showed incredible compassion for your dad. Ten weeks ago did you ever think you would have those feelings for your him? " Daniele: "Honestly, no. You know, coming in here, have said it a million times, you know, honestly I probably thought in the beginning that I really wouldn't care if he left at any time. It wouldn't have mattered to me. But coming in here, you know it doesn't change a lot of the things that have happened outside of the house. But it is definitely a steppingstone and you know, I'm definitely ready to look for the positive." Julie: "Nice to hear. Dick, not only did Daniele take you off the block a few days ago in round one she gave you permission to step down and let Zach win. How did that make you feel?" Dick: "Well, her telling me to step down it -- it didn't -- I don't know. The permission t didn't, like, really give it to me to do it. It was my legs were killing me. I was just done, man. I don't know how I stayed up there that long. Daniele was the reason I stayed up there as long as I did, for sure." Julie: "Zach, Dick verbally assaulted you for hours during the competition, yet you never lost your temper. How are you able to tune him out?" Zach: "You know, I mentally just, my legs were numb also and so I was just -- my whole body just got numb and basically my brain was numb too. So I just didn't really hear anything he had to say." Julie: "Thank you, houseguests. I will be back to talk to you a little later." | See Part 1 | See Part 2 | See Part 3 |

At the jury house, Eric and Jessica are more in love than ever. The other jurors have tried to give them some privacy. Jameka joins the jury and Dustin is quite disappointed it's not a Donato walking through the door. Jameka shows the DVD of the nomination ceremony. If you look carefully, you'll notice that it's only Dustin that verbalizes disappointment over Dick and Daniele's success, and cheers Zach on for making the speech about having the muscle to get the Donatos out, and maybe the others don't share Dustin's opinion, I found it hard to tell. | See the Video |

Dick and Zach will compete to become the final head of household. The winner must evict somebody on the spot thus deciding who they will compete against for the half million dollar prize. Julie: "For the last time this season, the power is up for grabs. Dick and Zach, as winners of the first two rounds, you are the only ones eligible to compete. Time to see how well you got to know your former housemates this summer. I will read the beginning of statements made by each of the six members of the Big Brother jury while they were asked at the jury house. For each I will give you two choices of possible endings. The answer will be either A or B. It is up to you to decide how you think the jury completed that statement. For every correct answer, you will get a point. The houseguest with the most points at the end of six questions will be crowned the final head of household. Are you both ready? Good luck. Question one: Amber said, the moment in the house that irritated me the most was: A: When Jen cried about her picture. B: Being handcuffed to Kail. " The Correct answer was A, giving Dick one point. Zach, got it wrong. Question Two: "Jen said the strongest competitor in the house was A: Daniele. B: Myself." The correct answer was B, no one got it right. Question Three: "Jameka said the fatal error I made in the house was, A: Saving jen with a veto. B: Not looking out for myself earlier." Correct answer is B. They both got it right but Dick is still in the lead with two points. Question Four: "Dustin said the most shocking moment in the house was when A: I was he evicted. B: Amber went off on Eric." The correct answer is B. Neither got it right. Question Five: "Eric said, the funniest moment in the house this summer was, A: When Jameka told Dick that his mama was a bitch. Or B:, When Jen said I will now perform eating." The correct answer is a, they both got it right.

"And now here is question six, right now, Dick you are in the lead with one point more. Jessica said the person whose game play I respected most was A: My own. B: Eric's. Answers, please." The correct answer is A.

"Congratulations, Dick, you are the final head of household!" Dick, jumping up and down: "Yes, yes, we did it. We did it! We did it! We did it! We did it. We did. We did it! We did it! We did, baby! Yes, yes. We did it! Nobody could do it. We did it! We did it! Yes! We won! We won! Yes, yes, yes! " Zach: "Very nice."

Julie: "Welcome back to Big Brother. Just minutes ago Dick became the final head of household. Now he must choose to evict Zach or Daniele, automatically ensuring the other houseguest's spot in the final two. All right, houseguests it's important that we go through the formal step of this final eviction. Zach, Daniele in just a few moments, Dick will cast his vote to evict. You now have a chance to plead your case. Zach, are you up first."

Zach: "All right. Dick, I don't expect you to use this. I played against the best of the best. I lost to the best. Hopefully when you guys are winning all that crazy cash in the long run, you will think about investing in my inventions. Good job, way to go." Dick: "Thanks." Julie: "Thank you, Zach. Daniele -- what would you like to say?" Daniele: "What a summer! Night and day, who would have thought that we would have worked so well together. I know I wouldn't have. I honestly don't believe I would be here without you. I honestly don't know if you believe you would be here without me. But we're an amazing team, and I would be absolutely honored to be sitting next to you in the final two."

Julie: "Thank you, Daniele. Thank you both. Just a reminder, the evicted houseguest will have only a few moments to say good-bye, gather their belongings and walk out the front door. Dick, please stand and cast your vote to evict. There is no decision. Zach, you are out. Me and you, Daniele. We won this whole thing! It's done!" Julie: "It is official, Zach, are you the last person to be evicted from the Big Brother house." Zach: "Don't agree with your methods but it worked. Way to go, dude."

Zach explained his method of gameplay to Julie. Julie showed the goodbye messages, and although not flattering, Zach was pleased enough that they had some warmth, and no hostility. | See the Video |

6:00PM BBT: Mostly FotH, there are quick glimpses of Dick and Daniele. In one brief clips they were talking about past juries. In another quick scene Dick is still bouncing off the walls over the two of them making it to final two.

7:50PM BBT: Feeds are back. It appears that they were on an OD LD. Daniele said that BB needs someone to come and clean the dishes because she's not. She says she's kidding, and then says she's only half kidding. BB set up the dining room table with nice plates and champagne. Dick pours the drinks and says this is Daniele's first drink since turning 21. Daniele says or is it, and he thinks he knows everything. Dick asks what she's talking about. Daniele says she had a drink when she was on the plane. They're now eating dinner. | See Part 1 | See Part 2

8:45PM to 9:20PM BBT: They are moving Daniele's stuff back to her own bed, Daniele was irritated that she was told earlier that the little bedroom was locked up, she heads into the bathroom to change clothes and complains about something. Dick tells her, “It could be worse you could be here with Jen or Zach!” Daniele (jokingly) says, "No, its worse cuz you’re here.”

Dick outside, pumping his fists and screaming "we did it, fucking A." He goes to check out the pool and says there is a bunch of crap in there, he gets the net to scoop it all out and laughs about the sign that says "slippery when wet" and says, "Now you paint those signs, oh maybe its for next year." He looks at the camera, "I’m still here mother fuckers, still here mother fuckers.... check mate bitch" and smiling while pumping his fists and stomping his feet.

Daniele is sitting at kitchen bar just staring at the picture wall.

Earlier, Dick was in the kitchen when Daniele went to move her bags back to the room and was looking at the camera and saying by now even the west coast has seen the show and everyone knows that he won HoH and they won the whole show.

Dick is now back inside with Daniele, they are both sitting at the counter, very quiet. Dick breaks the silence and says, “It's been our whole lives for the past 3 months, and we get to go back to not just our regular lives, but not back here.” He then starts to pick up and bitches about how horrible Zach cleans the dishes. He asks Daniele if she wants anymore champagne and she says no, he's clearing off the tablecloth.

Dick says he's going to redo all the dishes because “there is shit on every one of them.” He continues, “8:58, the show is over on the west coast basically and now everyone knows we won the game, everybody except my friend in Hawaii, Q, he'll know in 2 hours.” FotH

Dick is back to complaining about Zach "Zach is such a tool." He asks what she thinks Nick’s reaction was, Daniele says, “Happy and smiling.” Dick asks, “You think he ran around screaming?” Daniele thinks probably fists pounding and Dick laughs.

Dick said when he would get nervous today he would remember how he beat Eric at questions and Eric was in a desperate situation and he beat him so he knew he could beat Zach as Zach didn't know any of these people here. Neither one of them believes Dustin’s answer to the HoH question. Daniele is wondering how everyone is getting along; it has to be so fake. Dick says, “I’m sure no one is putting up with Jens shit what so ever.”

BB keeps showing the bunnies on the table doing it doggie style.

Side note: earlier when moving back into the little room Daniele said 5 more days in here, why can't they have the finale on Sunday. So they know the finale is Tuesday.

Dick says the sushi was good, he enjoyed it and Daniele agrees then wonders why the shows not ending on Sunday. Dick explains that they show the questions on Sunday. [I think they will face the Jury on Saturday in the house – Jem]

Now they are talking about Zach's answer to Julie when she asked him how he handled Dick berating him. Dick says, “I have to give it to him, that was hard, I was told that was the hardest HoH game ever.”

Dick says he heard fans outside cheering earlier, so there were some fans around. Daniele says no there wasn't, dick says didn't you hear that, we haven't heard shit all this time then all that.

Dick says that he is looking forward to seeing Vincent and Grandma but this is an experience, Daniele says, “But its over, its over.” He says, “I know…”

Dick is wondering how we are viewing this show, how the fans see it compared to other shows. Daniele says, “There are no fans.” [lol] Dick says, “Shut up! We heard the fans.” Daniele tells Dick, “Its not all about you Jen!” [LMAO] And they continue to bicker about the whole thing. Daniele finally tells him, “Well I disagree.” Dick replies, “Of course you do, you disagree with everything I say.” Daniele says, “I have my own opinion, you’re rude.” Dick says, “No I'm not.” Then silence. [Awkward…]

10:00PM BBT: Dick outside smoking, spitting and drinking his pop. Daniele gets called to the DR and Dick went and sat in the hammock. Daniele returns. They talking about life outside and it’s going to be interesting.

Dick is now in the DR and Daniele is at the table playing around with the cards giggling to herself.

10:30PM BBT: They’re bored.
