Dick Wins Big Brother 8, But More Importantly…

Dick won Big Brother 8 which was somewhat anti-climatic for me. However, what I have been waiting for all season happened…

The house guests found out about America’s player

I have been patiently waiting all freaking season to see the reactions of the houseguests when they found out that Eric was America’s player. It much have been really awkward for Eric and you know he was just dying to tell Jessica.

Anyway, I think the America’s player thing was really unfair to everyone involved in the game. It was a good idea, but in some ways it let the show’s executives have more control over the outcome of the show. I don’t think CBS should do that again, and I think they should let Eric come back and compete again without the limitation of being “America’s player”.

Danielle And Dick The Last Ones Standing In The Big Brother 8 House

Danielle and Dick are the last ones standing in the Big Brother 8 house… So who is going to win?

I voted for Eric to vote for Dick as the winner. Danielle was great in the HOH competitions, but many people didn’t want to be HOH early on so it’s hard to judge how tough her competition was at first. In the last Head of Household competion Zach and Dick both blew Danielle away, which is why I think Dick should win. It really doesn’t matter what I think though, because the evicted houseguests will be deciding this.

I am glad that Danielle and Dick seem to have come closer to eachother in the house. I am also glad for Eric and Jessica, they seem very happy together.

So who do you think should win Big Brother 8, Dick or Danielle?

PS. Wasn’t part 3 of the HOH competion lame? I mean, couldn’t they have made it harder like part 1 and part 2?

Jameka Goes Home But Who Wins Head Of Household (Spoiler)

Unfortunately, Jameka went home last night on Big Brother 8. I was hoping they would get rid of Danielle. While she has played the game really well, so did Jessica.

SPOILER WARNING… IF you don’t want to know what happened in the HOH competition don’t read any furhter….

Well, unfortunately the HOH competition is one of those three round things. It makes sense to drag out the HOH competition for the sake of the show, but I personally don’t like it dragging out.

Anyway, Zach won the first round of the HOH competition by outlasting Daniele and Dick in a competition of pure endurance. I don’t think anyone except maybe Nick could have hung in with Zach on this purely physical competition.

I expect Dick and Danielle to decide to let Danielle win the next competition, because she has been so good at the competitions. It will be interesting to see how the final HOH competition works out…

Zach Stands Up - Put’s Dick And Danielle Up For Eviction

I am glad Zach stood up to Dick and Danielle. Big Brother 8 is after all a “game”. Zach has taken the hard road, by playing the game alone. Waiting until the end to step things up is a very risky move, but I understand why Zach chose to do things that way. He just didn’t connect with anyone early on.

The POV this week is important, but the next HOH is more important. If Zach wins the next HOH competition, then he deserves to win it all. It will be interesting to see how things work out.

On a side note, too bad Zach didn’t make a deal with Eric last week. After Zach won POV, he could have used it to take Eric off the block and back door Danielle. Then Zach would be competing against Jameka, Eric and Dick. I think he would have a much better chance of winning in that scenario. However, all in all he has played a smart end game.

Well That Just SUCKS!

Eric and Jessica both went home this evening. Uggh!

Oh well, it’s just a game.

Eric certainly made a great connection with Jessica and I wish them well with their future outside the Big Brother 8 House.

I can’t really say anything more than I have…

It just plain SUCKS!

Rats… Danielle Wins Power Of Veto

Last night Danielle won POV and she left Jessica on the block. I really, really, really hope that Danielle and Dick stick with their alliance of four. It would be great to see Danielle, Dick, Eric and Jessica fight it out in the final four. I really doubt that will happen, but time will tell…

Oh, and if America tells Eric to vote out Jessica… that would be just plain mean.

Anyway, Thursday night on Big Brother should be quite exciting with a double elimination coming up. I am really looking forward to seeing what happens…

Eric Wins POV And Doesn’t Use It

At the beginning of the show, I didn’t think America’s player (Eric) had much of a chance to win, but I am starting to think otherwise. Eric won POV last night on Big Brother 8 and showed that he is capable of winning a competition. However, he didn’t use his power of veto. After hearing Danielle and Dick talk about their need to get rid of Jessica, it’s really too bad Eric didn’t use POV.

The good news is that it seems like Danielle and her Dad Dick’s relationship has gotten somewhat better. I am happy to see that. Also, Eric and Jessica are becoming more than good friends, which is also good to see.

So who do you think will go home? Amber or Zack? I think Amber is more of a threat and so she will go home. We shall know soon enough…

Jen Goes To Seqester And Jessica Wins HOH

Jen went to sequester this week and Jessica won Head of Household. Looks like Eric (America’s player) will be around another week, because Jessica won’t put him up.

I have mixed feelings about Eric staying. On the one hand, it is interesting to see what crazy things he has to do each week. On the other hand, I can’t wait to see the faces on the other contestants when they find out about Eric’s “true” role on this show.

Danielle Wins POV And Set’s Up Jen

Last night, Danielle won the power of veto (POV) competition and then pulled Ameber off the block. Amber gave up a TON to Danielle. I don’t think Danielle is going to want Amber to go home anytime soon, which could mean trouble for America’s player (Eric). Danielle then put up Jen for eviction, because Danielle really wants Jen out of the Big Brother house.

Eric completed yet another task, earning him another ten thousand dollars. Eric had to give Jessica his childhood toy (made up by Big Brother). This time America was nice to Eric and let him do something nice for Jessica.

It was really cool that the two finalist in the POV competition got a special surprise trip out of the house to go to New York and comptete on the game show Power of 10. It will be interesting to see how they did.

Dustin Goes Home And Danielle Wins HOH

Wow! America is really trying to make things hard on Eric. Why don’t you help Eric win, instead of making things so difficult?

Anyway, Dustin was sent home today and if it weren’t for America I would think that Dick, Danielle, Jessica, and Eric are close to shoe-ins for the final four. The problem is that America has become the X factor in Big Brother 8, and in all reality America is determining the direction of the game.

It has been interesting to watch, but I don’t think they should ever do the “America’s player” thing again.

Kail Goes Home And Jessica Wins Head Of Household

Last night, there was a lot of suspense on Big Brother 8. The big question of the day was…

Would America’s player, Eric, go home?

And the answer was…

No Way Man!

Eric managed to stay in the game with a 4-3 vote which allows us viewers to continue to direct his actions. Part of me feels bad for Eric, because he has to do what we tell him to do. Another part of me knows that Eric is probably the luckiest one in the group, because he is making money every week and doesn’t even have to win the competition to make out with some decent cash.

With Jessica as HOH, it looks like Dick and Danielle will be up for eviction. I expect Dick to be heading home next week, but you never know…

Nick Goes Home- Danielle Wins HOH

Nick went home tonight on Big Brother and from what I understand Danielle won the HOH competition. The HOH competition was one of those long ones, that you don’t get to actually watch on TV. According to the forums, it looks like Danielle won Head of Household (HOH).

Nick seemed a bit surprised to find out that Eric was America’s player. As Nick said, “Expect the unexpected”.

Anyway, I wonder what the chances are of Danielle putting Jen on the block?

Is America Helping or Hurting Eric?

Last week on Big Brother, America told Eric to vote for Kail to be evicted. If the houseguests had found out that Eric voted to evict Kail it would have meant bad things for Eric. Sometimes America tells him to get someone evicted that the rest of the house wants to stay. I think this is going to hurt Eric’s chances for winning in the long haul. On the upside, we do get to tell him what we want and he is making 10,000 dollars every time he completes a task. All in all, I would say that being America’s player is better than being a regular contestant.

What do you think?

Dick Nominates Jen And Kail

The other night on Big Brother 8, Dick nominated Jen and Kail for eviction.

My favorite part of the show was when America’s player (Eric) found out that he had to convince Dick to put up Jen for eviction. Eric knew that his task would be a piece of cake. I think Eric’s advice might have kept Dick from making the mistake of nominating someone other than Jen.

Tonight we get to see who wins the power of veto and how that affects things. It should be fun…

Joe Goes Home and Dick Get’s HOH on Big Brother 8

I haven’t been watching much TV this summer, but I have been watching Big Brother 8. I was happy that Dick wasn’t evicted tonight, and even happier he won Head of Household (HOH). I would really like him to stick around long enough to mend his relationship with his daughter Danielle.

Were you happy with the results?
