As of yesterday Jen was Dick's number one target. It will probably be Jen/Amber on the block. Danielle wants to screw over Eric, but her dad was firmly against that.

I agree she is immature, but I think Amber takes the cake with her whining and crying. She's a real head case!

And I've watched the Showtime show every night. (Though I do fast forward through every Amber conversation and every time Danielle starts complaining about something)

Yeah, what Danielle does and what Amber does are 2 different things. Danielle whines.



Surely you fast foward through Jameka's mmmhhhh more then anything else?

Yeah, that too. Also when Zach starts talking about whatever weird stuff Zach talks about. Honestly, other than major important strategy sessions I've taken to fast forwarding through just about every part that doesn't have Jessica in it. She at least makes me laugh. (Though even I had to give up on that Zach dinner "date"...much like she did)

You laugh, but she almost won HOH. Yesterday when they were starting to hatch the deal both Dick and Eric thought Amber was so useless that she wouldn't have a chance. They joked that they would voluntarily exit if they couldn't beat her in a competition.

This is why I'll really miss Amber when she's gone. She's probably the one in the house that I hate the most (other than Dick, who I hate more than anyone ever), but she causes me to laugh more than any other.

So far this season we have seen two of the dumbest player moves in the history of the show.

-Mike trying to distract Dick during a pov competition, then getting put up on the block and ended up going home.
-Dustin so cocky and sure that he was staying volunteered to be nominated against Dick this week, to only get screwed over and sent home.

In Dustin's defense, if it hadn't been for America's player he wouldn't have gone home. But putting yourself on the block to face eviction is just not really a good move. Especially if you act like a pompous ass. This game has an entire history of people making mistakes of arrogance. The new alliance of four is relatively arrogant right now (at least the guys are).

Spoiler:
The funny thing is that as long as America doesn't saddle Eric with hinky votes (which of course they will probably starting this week...he's just going to have to try to explain them rather than slipping them past) there is no reason why they can't ride this to the final four. Jameka can't compete. Amber sucks. Zach is the ultimate floater (and either he sucks badly at competitions or he's throwing them all). As long as Jen goes this week there really isn't anyone else left to win (and Danielle's plan is to nominate A/Jam and then backdoor Jen).

Btw, great thinkers that they are it took Jameka and Amber five and a half hours (and a talk with Dick) to kinda/sorta figure what happened. Too bad they can't do anything about it. Amber had a vision of herself winning POV so they're relying on that. The stunning thing was that earlier tonight Jessica flat out lied to Jameka about what happened. I didn't think she had it in her to really play like that. As After Dark went off the air E/J were doing their play flirting thing in her bed while Amber was in the next bed looking at the wall and crying. Too funny.

Can someone who watches the AD or live feed shows explain what happened with Eric & Jessica when they were in the bed and Jessica took her shirt off. Eric starting getting flustered and Jessica said "These are boobs". Eric kept talking about the game and Jessica looked like she was upset that he wasn't making a move on her until she finally kicked him out.

Was it just the way they edited it, was Eric just not picking up on the signals, or was their more that they didn't show us?

Thanks,
Bob

Did I hear that right? Did Amber say her five-year-old was about to start third grade?

Still rooting for Eric and Jessica. While I'm not a Dick fan, it's nice to see Jameka and Amber in the crap. I can't really stand them. Also, can anyone who watches the after dark feeds confirm that they are sickened by Jameka's eating habits? They way she keeps shoveling in the food and talking while her cheeks are bloated with food is just revolting.

They talked about game for awhile. They they talked about personal stuff for awhile. The show last night misrepresented what happened. Eric never left; he slept up there. As for E/J, I think there is something there, but nothing has happened, and I'm not sure if anything will (at least in the house). Apparently, coming in Jessica's biggest fear was someone trying something or pulling something on her like Mike/Erika. That's one of the reasons why Eric was so worried about her vote when he was nominated. Even if she mostly believed him if there was a chance he was playing her she might cut him loose as a preemptive strike. Personally, I think Jessica is the only person Eric is truly almost genuine about in the entire house. I don't think he'll betray her unless America basically forces him to (and I think if he really wants to make a scene, he could get out of that too...the AC things aren't live, and the producer's haven't been shy about manipulating things).

Btw, America's Choice for nomination..

Spoiler:
Amber...it's about time; I hope Jen wins veto.

During the live feeds, they stop airing at times for various reasons (Veto Comp, Food Comp, House guests talking about diary room sessions, etc.) When they stop airing footage from the house, they go to a set screen that moves so people know they are still connected to the feed. This screen in the past has been just a picture of the Front of the House and last year it was a picture of a fish tank so people used the same acronym but said it was Fish of the House. This year its a funnel type screen saver so they kept the name.

No, her daughter in the videos looks older than that, 8 or 9.

edited to add: Oh shit!, I've been caught lurking. I am not a man of my word. ;(

I couldn't even go more than 1 week of not watching this show. I blame my friend at work who was updating me on everything that was happening.

I hope The Fort doesn't get pissed off that I linked to one of their photos.

On the show it appeared that ED made a deal with Eric for final 4. Did that actually happen? Did they establish a deal?

In Mike's defense he totally knew what he was doing. Their's a difference between a Marcellus/Dustin/Kaysar type move where you blindly believe things will be okay and what Mike did.

Spoiler:
Dickhead has claimed he wants to stick to it... for now. Danielle is still bitter over Nick but, as far as I know, will go along with her dad's wishes. Eric knows he can't trust them for very long, and I think he'll never really get over them trying to railroad him. He's already undermining their plans to backdoor Jen because he knows they'll become practically unstoppable when she's gone.

Basically, there's no chance it will last more than a couple weeks. No way will it last until final 4. Happenstance is really the only way those 4 will be at the end together.

Update:

God has given Jameka the ability to see the future.

Also it appears God has given Amber the same ability see as how
Spoiler:
she had a vision that she will win the veto


Exciting developments in the house.

Maybe Amber really will get a magic ping pong ball. The best is when Jameka keeps asking her for details of her vision. The funny part is that Danielle doesn't even want them out because she (and everyone) consider them such lousy players (or in Jameka's case just ineligible). The real tricky thing this week is how this Jen situation plays out. D/D want her out. E/J want her as the fifth instead of Zach (mainly so Jen can win HOH and put up D/D). We'll see if this causes a rupture in the new alliance (especially if E/J win veto and D/D want them to use it).

It's too bad Eric teaching Jessica how to wrestle happened before the Showtime show.

Great episode. That was the best case scenario and it played out. Dusten's face was hilarious.

You know, I gotta say, even though I'm not really keen on any of the BB players this year - it's turning out to be of the better Big Brother seasons. So much backstabbing and paranoia make it really exciting to see what's gonna happen next.

And no matter what you think of him, Eric is shaping up to be one of the best players ever (maybe because he watched and studied the show religiously). Especially given the fact that he has to deal with America telling him what to do. He's still no Dr. Will, but he's pretty good.

If I had to pick someone to root for, I guess it would be Eric and Jessica (but Eric gets on my nerves when he talks - especially when his left eyebrow gets super raised like The Rock)
