Being a Stream of Consciousness Blog on the Hamsters of Big Brother 8, primarily exercised by writing down my impressions during the Showtime After Dark Episodes as well as clues and such I surmise from a network of links on Big Brother 8. 

Why?  Hey, I'd do that for a $1!

 

[Week 5, Day 7] Aug 9 (Thursday)  The Hamster Chronicles

(The Eric Files II)

By a Vote of 4-3 Eric ... you are safe.  OMG.  This is sooo messed up, but as this year's Big Brother goes, it's par for the course.  Something went really, really wrong, right Evel?  If there was justice in this game Kail would be here (from what we saw of how the promises were set it SHOULD have gone down that way)  The IDIOT AWARD goes to AMBER for casting her vote to evict Kail when she CLEARLY desires to see Eric gone - what a ditzy move on her part.  Hey, it does keep the excitement level high in the house (how will 00-Eric make his Spy Game work now?)  And we have the HOH competition coming up right after this break!  What's cool is I now have a 'connect' to Eric (via his MySpace Account being Ghost Monitored while he's in the House).  I look forward to a Big Interview or something when he gets out! (Which hopefully isn't soon!)

The Voting Record:

Dick – votes to evict Eric

Amber - votes to evict Kail

Zach – votes to evict Eric

Dustin – votes to evict Kail

Jessica – votes to evict Kail

Jen – votes to evict Eric

Jameka - votes to evict Kail

We then go to the HOH Competition (after Kail's Goodbyes).

Jessica is HOH!  The 'set' was buzzards, cactus  and a saloon look (with beer mugs on the loser table).  what this has to do with Alice and Wonderland completely escapes me.  Oh well.  The game was a quiz off of what already evicted HG's had said in the DR (which wasn't game critical).  Each time someone gave the correct answer they picked 2 others to play and the loser was eliminated ... until it came down to just 2 (Jen and Jess).  Eric answered correctly to one question but Julie Chicken Brain blurted out 'Nick' instead of Eric when she called on Eric's Buzz in (so they skipped that question completely and moved on).  Bummer for Eric there.  It finally came down to Jessica and Jen.  Jess buzzed in before the compete question was said and was correct... it was Carol - whatever the question was... (I gave up way too much...) I must say it  was fun watching the Tube Top Bounce, lol.  Booyah! 

Eric's AP Challenge : Who should Eric get nominated?

As we left the House Guests we saw Evel haranguing Jameka and Dustin on their game play (and Jameka's honesty???) Some things never change, lol.  Dustin did directly lie to Dick about his vote (oh my!)

This will end this week's Chronicles of Hamsters and we will start a new week beginning with tonight's After Dark.  Using the HOH Theme (?) this week: There's a new Princess HOH in Town Partner!

Will you walk a little faster?' said a whiting to a snail,
'There's a porpoise close behind us and he's treading on my tail.
See how eagerly the lobsters and the turtles all advance!
They are waiting on the shingle - will you come and join the dance?
Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, will you join the dance?

 

 

[Week 5, Day 5-6] Aug 7 (Tuesday-Wednesday)  The Hamster Chronicles

(The Eric Files)

The sides are drawn in the sand.  Most of the After Dark was The Bed Game with Dustin & Amber (they had an agreement a few weeks back to have a 24 hours Bed In (shades of Yoko Lennon!) While that fun was happening, Amber got her hair braided by Jameka (apparently an All Day Event). There was quite a bit of back and forth between Amber & Jameka on the trustworthiness of Eric. Zach did his moping bunny act all night with a great idea for an M&M Calendar (to what end Horatio?).  D&D did their impression of Yard Sale in the back yard (basically talked smack to each other all night).  Eric fretted about some, Kail was basically MIA.  Funny thing is I have the feeling, later confirmed via Today's Updates of Hamster Tubes  that Eric was in a lot hotter water than just a hottub.  Amber has done a 180 and child be damned (she swore on her child's life she would vote to keep Eric - much like the tactical God Ball Fiasco of Jameka's last week).   So, in the Tubes we have Dick chip away at the swearing her child's life away as not necessarily enforceable until ALL the evidence is in (against Eric).  He gave her an excuse to flip-flop, which she direly needs due to saying such a blatantly stupid thing (that early in the negotiations).  There was a heart to heart with Dustin and even he has flipped, telling Amber that he will vote against Eric so she doesn't have to 'break her word'.  Later we have Jess & Dustin talking while sunning...  Jess flips as well!  To top it off, Amber just went Bunny Shit on Eric in front of the group (and cameras) over the 4 Abortions Confession (OMG!)  ... Eric, America's Player, is American Toast folks. 

Furthermore, even I, Zenny, have been pulled into Eric's Web of Wickedness!  hehe...

what? me worry?

Ack!  He suckered me in too!  (Just kidding Eric and his Ghost MySpace Writer!) 

Came across this near official write up  Basically someone interviewed CBS about Eric's capabilities/responsibilities as America's Player. 

Hey, Eric... Lawyer Up buddy!

Looks like Eric is pretty well out the door and Julie Chicken Ranched soon... stay tuned America!

 

 

[Week 5, Day 4] Aug 6 (Monday)  The Hamster Chronicles (What's the Point?)

Eric definitely nominated.  Dick hates Dustin. Dustin hates Dick.  The Sides are drawn.  Like Eric says 'A week and a half of misery and then on with the show' (referring to getting Dick out).  Hey, here's some pics of Zach and Donnie Darko's Frank the Bunny Monster!

 

 

Eerie resemblance, huh?

 

[Week 5, Day 3] Aug 5 (Sunday)  The Hamster Chronicles (More Pellets)

Out of Box today I need to start off with Kudos and Muggles to HAMSTERWATCH.COM

I got a message from Dingo bro that basically asked me not to call his youtube video's 'feeds' - he called them snippets, but I've decided to go with Hamster Tubes (youtubes of Hamster's uhm Snippets, get it?)  Anyway, that and I should provide a link back to him (I have been, but it's been to the YouTube Video Site.  so, here's a BIG OLE LINK LOVE BACK TO HAMSTERWATCH.COM.  I will still link to the videos directly when need be (to bring folks up to date via the videos mainly) but will point to good ole HAMSTERWATCH.COM always at the Top of the Post, yup yup.

Okey, dokey.  Let's see.  Uhm, tonight we got our Sunday Edition Fix of BB8.  We hamster addicts, of course, know sort of what has gone down in between.  We watch with that odd BB DejaVu seeing what we've pieced together thru, uhm, Hamster Tubes and Site Reviews and such that:

Daniel won HOH by hanging upside down the longest

The Infamous Flying Banner of Fate:  We (heart) Nick.  Amber and Eric are Liars.  LNC is the Nerd Herd.

Yeah, uhm... interesting.  Big Bro should install some kind of Instant Solar Powered Awning over the backyard to prevent this Crapola.  It really puts a bad taste on it.  Sigh.  In the BB show tonight we actually see BB show the plane/banner (hey, it is what it is, hehe). 

Eric is told by America to get Jen voted out.  This makes Eric happy.

It was really cool to finally see the Dick/Eric blowup at the Hammock of Lies.  Now if I could only find a video of it so all of Dicks bleeps aren't bleeped, lol.

 

The rest of the show went preplanned out to the Noms: Jen & Kail.  Voiceover guy asking who will win POV and will Eric get to complete his assignment as AP (get Jen evicted).  So it goes...  Let's see if anything is on the boards now prior to tonight's After Dark (in 3 Hours).

For those that have bothered to keep up (and you know who you are!) 

Jen won (will win) the POV:

So, Tuesday we will see how that competition worked out.  And all the Bunny Jokes you can stomach.

The Players that have to go through the Gunk Dunks should be about done now (real time)

And uhm, that's about it for now... let's see what's what when After Dark comes on.

Hey, this is pretty neat:

Ok... chill for a couple hours...

Oh yeah, I'm going over to just a summary format after watching the show.  The Stream of Consciousness thing was cool for like ... 2 episodes... now it's just a chore and is too long.  So, I'm going to watch it (maybe even later via Tivo) and then put together a coherent summary (I hope, lol).

From reading over JokersUpdates I'm getting the impression tonight's show will be more Eric vs. Evil Showdown/Smackdown (quite a bit of tension building - again).  Also we will see the Amber River flow.  What a majestic sight it is...

Also found this... we do have a new task for Eric:

America's Player Task

Who should Eric promise to take to the Final 2 with him?
It's up to Eric whether the promise is a lie or the truth, but we choose who he says it to.

 

Alliance Map:

 

Tonight (rather last night as I write this) was tense, but post-dick-blowup tense.  It was clean division of sides,  The Danalo Devils vs The Goody Two Shoes, something Dani called the FSA (wtf?)  Anyway, it was strategy talk time between the two camps, very little cross talk (although there was some which I will get to).  Dani/Dick/Zach got into some deep discussions but the bulk was put down on this or that character (and the obligatory 'they've gotta go').  Poor Eric huddled in the Corner of the Gym room with Jessica, desperately over explaining, talking a mile a minute.  I feel most sorry for her, having to endure this painfully weak display.  The Goodies just hung out sniping at the Danalo's and vice-versa.  Big Yard Talk between Dick & Dustin.  Seems Dustin told Dani that she'd be better off putting up her father, Evil Dick, aka ED.  Well, ED actually was rather cool about it... keeping the argument on logical grounds, although he tended to speak at not with Dustin (which Dustin pointed out as one among many of Dick's Major Fault Lines.  Seriously, he looks like an Earthquake ready to burst! (whatever that means)  They agreed, in the end, for Dustin to think about all that was said (which he immediately takes back to the Goody Two Shoes for validation laughter).  I could actually see Dustin doing a swing thing, but it depends on what he calculates his current strength in the Goody Alliance. 

There was a bit more, but isn't there always?  With hours upon hours of nothing else to do or discuss (until the next competition sets a new Tangent Path of Power)... is it any wonder that it gets a bit tedious hearing a retread of a retread of a bald tire of a lie here and there?  I mean, OMG!  So, Tonights After Dark Show will be post-backdoor Nom (Eric on the Block which I now see through JokerUpdates that he has in fact been put up)  So, the rest of the week is pretty much settled (until Thursday's Vote).  Kick back and prepare to be bored, cause I don't see the Votes changing.  Eric will stay, Kail goes home.  Then we will have the Competition Thursday and we will then be able to move past this Heat Wave (sorry, it's hot as hell here lately). END.

 

 

[Week 5, Day 2] Aug 4 (Saturday)  The White Rabbit Talks

hamsterwatch links

Today's PreGame warmup has Jen and Dani in a tet-e-tet in the HOH, tell me who, but I don't trust you game of brinkmanship.  Here are the relevant hamsterwatch links:

Link 1 - Jen & Dani get down to bidness.

Link 2 - Down to bidness part 2

Link 3 - Kail gets reassured she won't be going home (promises that I don't think will hold!)

Link 4 - The Re-Beginning of a Beautiful Arrangement (Jen & Dick)

Alright, what seems to be the situation is that Jen, who won POV will take herself down, and Dani plans (strongly) to put up Eric (having had an epiphany, via banner?) Therefore she knows Eric is super-bad and wants him out (not knowing, of course, that he is America's Puppet, lol).  She has let Jen know that she is gunning for Eric, but we have a strong hunch that regardless of what she might bring out here in damning evidence against Eric ... that the Core Group (Dustin, Amber, Jameka, Jessica) will not bendover and vote against Eric - he's cemented his position strongly as Woe is Me Candidate.  So, Kail goes home (Look for Zach to vote Eric off in a show of solidarity with Dick).  And we have the makings of a real grudge match coming up!  Will Eric take down Daniele who put him up earlier?  Will Amber cry more than 4 fluid ounces this week?  Stay tuned America!  Showtime After Hours in about an hour and half. 

The opening ticker tells us: Danele is HOH.  After Nominations Yesterday, A Grueling Veto Competition was held today, as a result of the competition some Houseguests will wear bunny suits for the week while others will dump 'Funky Gunk' on their heads for the next 24 hours.  Dick and Daniele are trying to convince their fellow HG's that Eric was an original member of the Mrs Robinsons. 

We enter The After Dark Zone with Kail talking to Dustin in the Store Room.  Focus is on whether Kail has an Alliance with Eric.  She denies it (and she doesn't).  Kail is saying he doesn't have anything for or against Eric, but she trusts him more than Evil (Dick).  Dustin is telling her that Dick is speculating this off the two votes.  Kail says she don't have that much with Eric, no alliance of any sort.  Kail says 'We need Evil, no not Evil, Eric in here to vote out Evil...' lol, just thought that was funny when said. 'Dustin asks don't you think it's odd that Jen and Dick are friends now'  Kail misses the point of it and goes after Dani not having the votes.  Dustin sees that Dick & Jen are up to something.  Kail is mistakenly seeing into what Dani says that someone else in the 5 alliance (of Dustin) has backed Dani in the vote (against Eric).  Dustin says there's no way.  Dustin thinks they should push her to put up Zach.  Kail is suspicious of Jessica (cause she told on Carol and Joe).  They decide to wait it out.  What a wicked web.  Kail reitterates 'can you trust your 5?'  Dustin says that they are wondering who is getting info to Kail?  They are pulling a Joe.  Getting ahead of themselves, seeing more than there is in it.  Kail says Dick thinks shes some big huge influence in the house, she's nobody in the house.  Dustin says that Dick is taking the heat of his back, putting it on Eric, and making up with Jen.  Kail says that Jen said that they called a truce because of the House BB talks.  Some suspicion on Eric that he's been telling Jen things. 

What I see occuring is that Dani will put up Eric, the vote will go against Kail (there will be an effort to save Eric).  The next week will get critical towards which main alliance becomes dominant: Dani/Dick/+ Jen/Zach vs. Dustin/Amber/Eric/Jessica/Jameka (with Jess as a potential swing to both sides but probably will stick with Eric.) 

Cut to HOH Room: Dani, Dick.  Make Zach feel safe (?)  Dani doesn't like talking to him, he bugs her.  Talk of no point in voting out Jen... if she goes to the top she will still not be voted on by the Jury, so it's even better to keep her around. 

Cut to Zach taking a shower in backyard.  Commercial.  Back with Jama taking shower out by pool.  Can't get the Shower to turn off easily.  Jen comes out and gets in the Bucket... of Goo?  Then Daniele. Part of the competition to dump funky gunk on them. 

Cut to Jess and Eric and Amber in bedroom.  Eric is whispering.  nothing happens.  To Kail looking at laundry.  Now Jess is standing over Eric (in bed).  they talking major whispers. can't make it out.  Eric is listening so intently ... he seems frozen in fear, deer in headlights.  They are discussing what was said to Dani I think.  Cut to Jama and Jen in the Showers.  Jen saying only 20 more... have to put on our Bunny Suit.  

Dustin and Jessica and Eric talking.  'Something Fishy going on and I don't like it' exclaims Jessica in that 'sing song' voice of hers.  Dustin adds in 'All about a little Jewish Boy named Eric... then some talk of his last name...'  Dustin says 'Mine flew, they didn't go by boat' (speaking of his ancestors that came across the Atlantic).  They go into goofy talk about Little Jack Horner (pulled out a plum) while Amber and Jameka are doing a Bible Study next to them.  Dustin says 'lets go into the Round Room.  Jess says 'it's ok, you can go with him'.  Amber whispers to Dustin about something.  Amber asks (Jen)...where's your best friend at?  Jen says 'who?' ...Dustin takes her away...  Asks whats going on. Jen starts with talk with Dani.  Says main thing is that her and Dick have a truce.  Flash to Eric/Jess:  Jess telling what Dani told her.  Says Dani says 'Why would I lie, why would I lie?'... Eric starts with a defense. Absolutely nothing to do with Kail is main strength.  Eric says 'I know you're a smart girl.  You know what they are trying to do, don't do what they want'.  He's tried to get Dustin to go up and say 'We won't vote out Eric so don't do it' but Dustin won't.  He feels awful how Jess is looking at him lately.  Basically I think he's overdoing his pleas to her and should be working the crowd more (Amber, etc).  Cut to Amber/Dustin: Dustin saying Nothing Matches Up.  It's just a load of shit.  He is saying that Kail doesn't get it, and is asking Dustin what she should do.  You should fight to put up Zach.  And Kail asking him 'do you trust your people?' and he says 'she pointed out quite a few things that make him wonder' leans in to Jameka and whispers 'that Jessica lied about Joe vote and she lied about Carol vote (week 1 and 2) so how do you know she's not lying now'.  Dusty can't believe the stupidity.  Some shenanigans that happened at dinner.  Jama is just going to lie out in the grass tomorrow.  They figure double eviction week next week.  Jess in one of the hamsterwatches has seen the banner (! we heart nick, eric and amber are liars) so she IS skeptical of what Eric is up to (!!!) 

Kail and Jen have a bit of talk when Dick comes out to the Patio.  Cut to Dustin/Eric/Jess talking over the situation.  General agreement that Eric has their support.  Eric suggests that Dustin tells the D&D that they have the votes to hold up Eric and they best just vote off Zach this week and deal with it next week.  (This won't work on Dani in my opinion - she's one of those dead set types).  Buzzers go off (think it has to do with the POV Members going to get dunked in the Funky Gunk.  Dustin makes the point to let this Attack occur it will come back to bite them.  Dustin says he's told Zach to watch the Danalos (D&D).  Zach told him he doesn't trust them. Commercial break.

Kitchen Talk: Dustin (on Counter)  / Evil Dick / Dani / Jen / Dani saying they will be so sick of it, Dustin says take 45 minute naps (they are getting made to dip in goop every 45 minutes).  Zach says 'Just think, 20 hours to their total someone can share the same fate as three hours ....' Dustin jumps on him 'Look Zach I don't know where you're going with this but you could really just cut yourself short now before I cut you loose.'  Zach and Dick goes 'It was just a joke'.  (and I didn't get it either - basically an awkward Zach Moment).  Some talk of the competition. 'Putting (?) for 10 grand'... not sure till it's shown (Sunday).   

Talk of Slop by Dick/Dani/Jen.  Cut to Zach and Dustin talking getting Zach on their side.  Zach says when the times appropriate.  Zach says he's going 

 

Zach says he's going to lie down until time to dump himself in Gunk.  Goes into where Eric and Jess is.  He wanders out.  Jess says 'nothing, he's weird.  Eric saying 'well, it's better than having him on the other side' (i think that's what's going on - deep whisper).  Zach is the strong vote here, and I think he's beginning to see it.  The camera stick on the Eric/Jess stuff although basically theres little left to say.  They wander out.  Go talk to Jama who's lying on bed (having done a dump/wash).  Jama says Eric stinks (deodorant) Jess says he smells ok.  (could have been an underhanded jab at his vote behavior?)  Eric goes talks to Amber (who looks too sleepy to care).  Com Break.

Talk of this being a 'White Rabbit' (them in bunny suits) part of Alice in Wonderland (duh!) and Dicks says he keeps expecting a 'It's late, it's late for a very important date' type of competition (time trial).  More grumbles about having to dip themselves every hour on the hour for 24 hours.  19 more to go.  Dustin is making his Amber face (smushes mouth sideways).  More talk of prior competitions (the spaghetti one, losing their shoes).  Dustin says (in Zach falsetto of him on Treadmill in Bunny Suit eating a Carrot - That's going on TV - funny).  A brief talk of there's so much stuff that's on they can't track it all (while we're talking there's 5 others talking elsewhere). Back to talk about Gonorrhea.  haha.  Talk of Dick saying 'Whoa Cat's out of the Bag...' Then discussion of them talking about The Story.  Zach comes out and joins them.  Dick with Mallet saying he feels like he's in a cartoon, Itchy and Scratchy.  Zach says Whack A Mole.  Dick talks of Stephen King and a story where the characters play a game to the death.  Then talk of the Gladiators being real and people died.  Jen did not know that (OMG!)  More meaningless talk.  Dick promises even thru Jury to honor his bargain with Jen (uhm, ok).  Then they have to prepare for the Dunking.  To the Goodie Two Shoe Alliance (all 5).... basic blah blah.  The Buzzer sounds for the Dunking.  Jameka goes out to get dunked.  Com Break.

Back with Eric whispering furiously with Eric.  Not able to follow it much...more of the same.  Dustin comes in doing some 'Crying Imitation'.  There's lots of blah blah...just as Dustin starts to strategize, camera goes to Dick and Zach playing Croquet.  Then to Dani / Jen talking about the competition results.  Jen says they (the other alliance) is going to try to get them to put up someone else (Zach) / Dani says that's not going to work.  Dani thinks Eric will blow before then or they won't come to her.   Jen plays off that, but it's basically Jen Talk that is kinda hard to follow, like.  Calls herself and Kail 'professional pawn artists'.  Dani asks why did Kail give up 5 HOH's.  Jen says she thinks she had to (and it lessens her threat).  Dani says Eric campaigned to keep Kail in... Jen says that's just rude (what Eric said at that time).  Jen says Kail wants Jen to get Dani put Zach up.  Jen talks to Dick about Croquet.  They are actually talking, lol.  Jen notes they wont be able to tan for the week (bunny suits).  Cam to Eric/Jess/Jama...blah blah... back to Dani/Jen.  As I've already said, Dani is set to go on Eric, it's a done deal.  Talk of the Shout match (Eric/Dick) when it's revealed.  Jen cautions that Eric might trick Dick into hitting him or something.  Dani says Dick won't do that.  Talk of how ridiculous the costumes are and they have to wear them all week (Zach, Jameka, Daniele, Jen) Cut to The Goodies (in the little bedroom).  Lots of Ha Ha's of prior events.  Jama comes in (from showering down).  Amber comes in tells of catching Dick (or Zach?) listening at the little door.  They think it was when Jama was just reading the Bible.  END NIGHT.

 Results of the POV Competition (That went to Jen) from ilovereality.com:

Not 100% sure on this.

Manure Dumping -has to dump ‘manure’ (chocolate and dirt and other messy stuff) over their head once an hour for 24 hours - Jameka, Kail, Jen, Daniele, Zach.

No HoH for 5 weeks - Kail and Jameka

Slop for 30 days - Kail and Jen

Wear a bunny suit for 5 days - Kail, Jen, Daniele, Zach

Give up 1/2 of winnings - Jen

There was not a moment to be lost: away went Alice like the wind, and was just in time to hear it say, as it turned a corner, `Oh my ears and whiskers, how late it's getting!'

 [Week 5, Day 1] Aug 3 (Friday) The Queen of Heart's  Reign of Terror Begins

The Queen had only one way of settling all difficulties, great or small. 'Off with his head!' she said, without even looking round.

Pregame warmup:  Last night Dani (aka Daniele aka Danielle aka Queen Bitch) won the HOH Competition of Endurance (Hang like a Bat upside down while bird 'droppings' hit you).  She made a pact with Kail at the end (not to put her up).  This will become important later, bear with me (and her!) Do not confuse The Red Queen (Kail) with the Queen of Hearts (they are often mixed up, The Red Queen being the one that said "It takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place" which is Kail's dilemma (being put on the block week after week - which is now being heralded as a BB Record: her and Jen up 3 times if they go up this week (which seems assured, read on).  Where were we?  Oh yes, Off with their Heads!  Dani, Queen of Hearts is swinging her sceptre and power around pretty snappily as I speak going into tonight's After Dark - I've poured over the hamsterwatch feeds - and it's been a whirlwind of activity!  If you haven't done so, take some time to work through the latest since Dani won HOH.  There's a LOT going on.  The BIG NEWS is Eric is SORT OF Outted as America's Player.  They have him nailed as to messing up the votes, but have no clue why (he HAS to do this as America's Player/Spy Bitch).  So, they've pretty well zoomed in via specious reasoning ... but Dick is Spitting Fire (and Spit Gobs, ugh) while slowly turning Eric on the BBQ in his Mind.  He's going to push for his ouster...but I think he will hold that and mull it over - his anti-Jen side just needs her gone way too much.  Dani, the faithful Queen will do what King Daddy wants (while feeling she's in charge or, like, something). Oh, did I mention that it was a Banner Plane that sort of got Eric Pinned?  (plane said: We (heart) Nick! Amber & Eric Are Liars! LNC Is The Nerd Herd.  Make of it what you want, but it was seen by the Contestants during the HOH Competition (which was outdoors and couldn't be 'stopped' during.   Off with their Heads episode  goes After Dark in about an hour and half... stay tuned!

Let The Hamster Games Begin! 

Dani holds court with Dustin.  Ice Cream and Whispers in the Extra Big Chair in the Lavatory Room.  I guess they are saying be fake-nice to Kail to keep things light and make her feel she's safe, just in case... huh?  Dustin talks about how things didn't quite go as planned and apologies for it being Nick.  Dani says that's ok, whatever happens happens... can't change the past.  Dustin thinks maybe Kail won't be smart and will save Jen if she wins POV, which would be very, very strange.  Things break up... Cam goes to Eric and Jen and Others in the Ceremony Room... talk of who's who's twin...which is just b.s. talk.  TO Dani in Kitchen feeling sick ... too much junk food.  Zach burps.  Dustin  there.  Zach opines how important (monumental) the POV games are and what an Honor they are (yeah, oook)...

Kail asks what Grandma said to Dani in her letter... she says Grandma didn't write. Boyfriend says that her son had a really fun 4th of July.  Scared at first, but loved it.  BF Mom, Dani's 'second' mother wrote encouraging words, and she tells everyone they knows that they know them... BF trying not to talk about the show, but ends up doing so because it's not a 'normal' life.  Eric thinks he would get a Group Effort Letter.  Dani didn't get pictures.  And conversation dies off.  Eric asks how the letters went to Dani's head... make it better or harder...she says it was encouraging and 'really, really nice'.  Cut to Zach/Dustin getting ready to lift weights.  Zach says he didn't have all that big an arrangement with Nick.  Something was just too awkward.   Dustin going to Fight His Ass Off.  Dustin says 'Going back up' Zach co rrects him (he's never been up.,.. oops...freudian there Dusty!)... He covers it with a comment about Big Brother being a rant today.  Zach can't figure out why Kail seems so 'secure' each week.  Dustin says that this week there clearly was a deal this week.  Zach says it's a Bullshit deal either way.  She could still go home... getting screwed or whatever.  Dustin agrees... it's just 60 seconds of being told you screwed her over... Zach says Dustin was coherced into putting up Nick (all the while Zach not knowing that Dustin's real target to backdoor was Zach, oh my!)  I think Zach handled this pretty good.  Someone in the Main Conversation Pit says 'Poor Showtime' (cause of the boringness that was happening right now).  Eric tells that a friend is to save off feeds that are the 'best parts'.  Showtime is 'just like the live feed'.  Cut to Jameka and Amber and Jess in Little Bedroom.  Jama saying something wasn't funny... and some thing that occured where Jama said 'Amber is being funny'...and they laff on that.  Jama says that the whole house experience is addressing difficult situations.  Recommends that they all just 'Let it do what it do, little baby'.  To Zach lifting weights.  To Jess.  Amber.  She slept well last night.  has rag in hand, lol. Whispers some crap to Jama.  Eric comes in.  Deric is his Evil Twin (with mole behind ear) and shows he has no mole and is thus a 'good guy')  inside joke that must be related to Eric and Dick having it out (? and thus he's thought up this 'anti-Eric' as a 'Patsy'. Jameka makes Eric move when he lays down beside Jess (not his side).  Cut to commercial.

Dani talking to Jen in the HOH.  Talk of what happened with Kail (on the Bars, the decision to make her safe, but how she is still going up).  Dani tells her if she wins the POV or Jen does or possibly Zach then Jen is probably safe.  Talk of how it was kinda Dumb what Jama done.  Reiteration of her being safe if Dani or Zach wins (or herself, Jen).  Dani pushes that if Kail wins POV she's thinking of taking Jen off.  But she's debating it, someone (not Dustin) is convincing her not to do that.  It would be in Jen's best interest says Dani to get her to do that.  Kail has already told Jen (says Jen)  Kail told Jen that Dani promissed to Kail that she was safe this week so she will save Jen.  Don't tell Kail this says Dani.  Jen says that she doesn't lie, but sometimes withholds information.  Dani says that she had an epiphany (ooOoo) and knows who messed the votes (and says it was probably the same that did the mustard).  Jen falls away from that logic and Dani comes back to 'there's a bigger picture' ... Jen hints there was once a time that Dick and her talked, but now there's NO way they would work together... and how she hopes that Jen and her can get to know her better as a friend... Dani somewhat, lukewarms agrees.  Dani says to tell everyone else that "f you don't win POV, I'm going home."  Keep the pressure on Kail.  Jen doesn't have the Votes.  Jen acts as if she doesn't really care.  Dani tells her that she should get on back now... suspicious.  Jenth Degree is her T Shirt.  Basically Dani is pitting Kail and Jen against each other somewhat.  Nothing major that I see in it since it's ordained that it's Kail/Jen on the Fence.  Cut to Dustin and Zach on weights again (apparently Dick is passed out, lol).  Zach reminds Dustin of what he said 10 minutes ago (that Dani might put Dustin up).  Dustin says, well, I sort of said that, but don't go around putting words in my mouth.  And Dustin lifts some weights... Zach says that the funniest thing for him last week was' Jen can I get a picture of you rolling your eyes' and Dustin says it's not a stutter thing or anything, but a habit thing... he does a decent imitation of her eye stutter.  Cut to Jen & Kail in the Lavatory.  Jen putting on Underarm.  Jen 'What?" Kail 'Nothing'.  Kail says Dustin won't talk to me... because of last week.  Talk of they think Jen threw it (Jameka Ball Incident).  Is Amber still mad at Dustin.  Talk of the BANNER.  ??? about the banner (Kail says)  to which Jen says 'I don't know, I didn't see it (the banner).  Some other chatter... Eye stuff on Kail is kinda creepy, looks like a zombie, lol. 

Dani comes down to the Amber/Jama/Jess/Eric room.  Starts a 'ha ha' time... back to Jen/Kail.  Maybe Kail can talk Jameka into using it (POV) if she wins.  Kail says Jen might have to bargain. Jen says she doesn't like it.  Laffs.  So, you're going to have to get her down somehow.  Cut to the Little Bedroom ... heeere's Dick!  Eric called to D.R.  NO FOOD SLOP COMPETITION NEXT WEEK sorta leaked out.  (something the DR must be telling the Players).  some talk of the numbers on the clock (of the competion) .. a zero on a clock... Jama didn't like it...no zero on a clock face. Dustin says (about Jess I am thinking) 'She has period written all over her face' in flame-on mode. Cut to commercial.

Talk of some chocolate syrup was 'in his bag' but now in the fridge.  Dick apparently doing a back-horde on the syrup.  To Amber blabbering in the bedroom about nothing important... some real life stuff... to kitchen where Dani is asking for everyone's hypothesis.  (Dick/Zach/Jama). No one goes for it.  Someone said maybe a maze tomorrow (says Jama)... Dick is saying maybe there will be 'what will you do for it' contest bids.  It devolves into Dicks version of shitting on 'someones' face (we can only guess who!).  He tosses in how do i get explosive diarrhea.  Zach says he will give up 2000 bucks to go out on a date with a fellow HOH.  Dani 'shut up'.  Croquet has started. Dani takes the mallet outside.  Dick comes out with a Mallet 'this will help you in future competition' he says.  So now Zach and Dani have mallets and Zach explains how to best hold the Mallet.  Dani makes a Homo Remark of it.  Zach repeats the line of Alice "Do you play...croquet?'.  Kail comes to watch.  Kail wants to hit with it.   Practice I take it. 

 

 

 

Eric whispers to Amber about Dani / Dick is planning to backdoor either Dustin or Him (while Dustin is there) but if 'we all hang tough with the votes'... then Jen shows up awkward to talk about the Croquet Game possibility coming up.  Maybe Jen will get another 'Tard, lol. The group breaks up.  To Dick/Jama on the Patio Couch.  "I think there's 4 Jameka balls in there' (referring to drawing her ball out).  Talk of why they wouldn't play the upcoming game blindfolded, which is a reference that Dick made which is a putdown to Jen wearing a blindfold as a 'fashion statement'.  This one hungry family here folks... grapes for Amber now, sour I hope, haha.  Eric whispers something while fridge is open.  can't hear.  Jessica comes sits at counter.  Some flirting with Eric and Jess, still too cute.  Jess says 'get this show on the road' which leads to huuuuh?  which is hmmm.  Wish I could hear over the damn water Eric is running for Dishes (which is his strategy to keep others from hearing his talk with Jess).  He's basically saying stuff to strengthen his alliance with her...agreeing to stuff... whatever... it's hard to make out what ...but he's starting to line up against the coming backdoor that he knows is coming.  Jess is catty about it.  Cut to Zach / Dani playing ball.  Back to Eric/Jess: No running water!  Strategy bein gthat if Kail wins POV, they go to her to prevent her from using it on Jen, which will prevent Eric being put up on the block.  Interesting Strategy... in return they 'bring Kail' into their alliance (whichever one it is).  Eric can't do POV for some reason. (Jess says).  Hmm.  Cut to commercial.

An hour of After Dark left.  Back with Jess/Eric: God can he be any geeker?  Kail comes in says 'Sorry I didn't pick you'... Eric says that's ok, I'll have my chance eventually.  Which tells us that teams have been picked.  Something about wouldn't let them look at the balls in the bag (which is something Evil said earlier).  Eric points out that when they have you practice it is Integral to the Game somehow.  Good point.  I'm thinking Croquet in a Maze of some sort myself, we'll see (tomorrow it will be played, and Sunday shown).  Kail and Jen talk hand injuries (from the prior competition - hanging).  Eric waits for a spare second and lays one on Jameka.  He tells her he knows he's getting backdoored.  Jameka asks how he knows, but Eric doesn't get a chance to fully say cause Zach comes in...then to Jen/Kail talking but back to Eric/Jama then back to Jen/Kail ... where they discuss that it's odd how Amber didn't cry coming out last time... back to Eric whispering that 'They don't have the votes' and Jama saying, yeah that doesn't make sense, so what is going to convince me...' Jen/Kail talking ... Kail 'still thinks it Eric'.  Jen thinks it's Evil that didn't vote and not tell Dani.  Kail corrects Jen that he's not going to play his own daughter.  These folks are definitely not seeing the total picture, lol.  To Dani telling Daddy Dick this week is for Nick.  To Jess/Eric/Dustin in Lavatory plotting to force the floaters to not work with Dani/Dick.  Dustin says he doesn't understand why 'he or Eric is going up' based on speculation.  Eric has just cemented a strong alliance now.  He needs to chill.  He goes to the yard to watch ... to find the covers of the Patio Couch are turned out and are Red (cool).  Eric talks Pre Season NFL coming up with Dick.  Dick wonders if they can get sports info in from BB.  Greenshot to Jen/Kail talking.  Jen says that Jama not using it.  Strange logic here, not sure whats being discussed.  Kail picked someone she thought she could beat (that being Jameka).  It comes back around that Jen thinks that Evil might be going up (via Dani).  Kail says NO WAY.  The consider the possibilities... and decide they have to wait to see how it plays out.  Jen tells Kail that Dani said 'If you win you guarantee your safety and Kails' Kail says 'if I win and take you down, I'm safe'.  Jen thinks backdoor isn't fair.  Kail thinks it is and makes it interesting.  Kail says from what she's seen backdoors don't work.  Jen says don't talk to Eric ... he talks to too many people.  Kail asks about Dustin, Jen says he's sneaky. Amber and Dustin starting to part ways.  Amber clings to Jameka.  Kail talks of Evil crying for a few minutes everynight when he goes to sleep.  He doesn't know she's awake.  Tells Dustin that he hates himself when he cusses Jen out.  Jen says I would hope he feels bad about himself.  "Goal is get Jen down".  Commercial...

To Dick saying I thought She was Ugly from the First moment.  some comment about Jen saying 'I wore this to the butter thing' Dick saying 'you mean the 'I wanted to drown you in the butter you're such a bitch'... Dick goes outside... Dani smiles about it.  Jen comes in..goes outside.  Dani checkes her splitends.  Kail looks very creepy in green.  Jen hits the ball.  Dick gets in Hottub where Jess is.  chatter.  To Hammock of Lies with Jama/Amber.  whispering.  Cute moment where Dani tells 'The Internet People'  .. "Oh we will get them out (the girls Kail/Jen) Internet People".  Jen interrupts Ambers whisper rant to Jama.  Dani is annoyed that Amber won't go against Dustin (or something) according to Amber.  "Me and my Dad" voted with the group then Jama saying that is shady 'you're basically admitting you won't vote with the group'.  Jama goes into her pre-ordained Christian Strength message.  Dig Deep Girl.  Believe it 100 percent.  Not an Option to Fail.  Be Strong.  Blah blah. I might not make it, but you ain't either (Dick/Dani).  Jama says let them keep thinking they are in a strong position (Dani/Dick). 

Talk of Outfit changes.  Dani changed a lot the first week.  'Because I was sweaty' she says.  Jen and Kail do audio tests at the door.  Kail sentences out stuff and Jen says she can hear it.  Some generally badmouthing around the Kitchen Counter with Dusting/Eric/Jen (and a in depth analysis of Tooty Fruity vs Fruit Loops). Break.

Nominations today (Kail/Jem are on the block).  Doggie talk with Amber and Dani at the Patio Couch.  Dani tells of pet getting excited by hearing her boyfriend's ringtone. lol.  Cut to Jen wandering the House. Banana and Yogurt.  and a Ziplock.  To Dick/Dani/Amber talking getting Pet steps for the dog.  Back to Jen giving bananna to Kail (how erotic, hehe).  Kail says that it's a good thing folks are flipping the votes. These two have sealed an Alliance that goes to shared misery.  Deathlock mode, lol.

To the Patio: Dick/Jama/Eric talking about what they think the competition with the mallets might be.  Kail/Jen talking ... Jen asked Eric if he mustarded her pillow... Kail said that she heard Eric say 'in a joking manner' that he did it.  Deep discussion of Dick's perception of them and Kail sees thru what is bugging Dick.  That he came to her and said 'I know you didn't out everybody' (someone else in her alliance).  Kail is seeing into the Eric connect and feeding it to Jen.  Kail inadvertently taps into all the paranoia of each other, which especially freaks Dustin out.  Bad logic that 'Evil and Dustin working together from Kail.  She sees that Dick is building to a Rage... and overhears Dick laying into Eric by the Hammock of lies.   She overhears Eric saying 'I've been loyal, and trust you..etc' (defending against Dick's attack).  Last words.  Kails says she think the off votes were from Eric and Amber.  END SHOW.

A large rose-tree stood near the entrance of the garden: the roses growing on it were white, but there were three gardeners at it, busily painting them red. Alice thought this a very curious thing, and she went nearer to watch them, and just as she came up to them she heard one of them say, `Look out now, Five! Don't go splashing paint over me like that!'

'I couldn't help it,' said Five, in a sulky tone; 'Seven jogged my elbow.'

On which Seven looked up and said, `That's right, Five! Always lay the blame on others!'

'You'd' better not talk!' said Five. `I heard the Queen say only yesterday you deserved to be beheaded!'

'What for?' said the one who had spoken first.

'That's none of your business, Two!' said Seven.

'Yes, it is his business!' said Five, 'and I'll tell him - it was for bringing the cook tulip-roots instead of onions.'

Seven flung down his brush, and had just begun `Well, of all the unjust things-' when his eye chanced to fall upon Alice, as she stood watching them, and he checked himself suddenly: the others looked round also, and all of them bowed low.

`Would you tell me,' said Alice, a little timidly, `why you are painting those roses?'
