"BIG BROTHER 8" DELIVERS ITS LARGEST SUNDAY AUDIENCE OF THE SEASON

This Marks the Third Consecutive Sunday Edition to Hit a New Viewer High Delivery

"Big Brother" Wins its Time Period in Viewers and Key Demos with Week-to-Week Increases

Last night's edition of BIG BROTHER 8 delivered 7.62 million viewers giving the summer series its largest Sunday audience of the season, according to preliminary Nielsen Live Plus same-day ratings for Sunday, Aug. 19.

This marks the third consecutive week BIG BROTHER 8 SUNDAY has hit a season high viewer delivery.

From 8:00-9:00PM, BIG BROTHER SUNDAY 8 was first in households (4.8/08), viewers (7.62m), adults 25-54 (3.3/09), adults 18-49 (2.9/08) and second in adults 18-34 (2.4/08, -0.2 behind FOX).

Compared to last Sunday, BIG BROTHER 8 SUNDAY was up +2% in households (from 4.7/08), +3% in adults 25-54 (from 3.2/09), +4% in adults 18-49 (from 2.8/09), +20% in adults 18-34 (from 2.0/07) and added +100,000 viewers (from 7.52m, +1%).

For the night, CBS was first in households (5.4/09), viewers (8.16m), adults 25-54 (2.7/07) and tied for first in adults 18-49 (2.1/06, with FOX).

Final Sunday ratings will be available on Tuesday.

It looks like the happenings of the last couple of weeks have really peaked viewers interest. Now whether they can continue this streak, remains to be seen. But I think that is why the producers are trying to sway the direction of the game again. Keep in the one person, who everybody hates and fireworks (and ratings) are sure to explode.

Speaking of streaks, I wonder why they didn't show Eric's naked jumping jacks in front of the women, last night?

See my sig please! But, thanks for your welcome back!

So, POV today:

Spoiler:
Daniele uses the veto and takes off (I believe) Amber and puts up Jen. Now, if America really wants to screw up Eric, they should tell him to save Jen on Thursday and vote out Jamecka. Unless Eric can convince other houseguests not to vote out Jen (unlikely), he will then finally be exposed as a liar.

Spoiler:
There is a way to cover that. Saving Jen is pretty much a lost cause (I don't think he could get Jess to vote out Jameka to save Jen, and he would need her vote). In order to "protect" the D/D alliance he should tell them a head of time that he's going to throw a vote the other way to make it look like everyone is not in cahoots. He can suggest it as a strategy to employ as long as they can.

Btw, big mouth that he is Dick has already outed to E/J the "alliance" Danielle made with Amber to take her off the block. It just confirmed something that E/J (well really just Eric...he does all the thinking for the two of them) already suspected. I think Eric might roll the dice and really try for HOH this week. I wonder if the DR would give him a heads up if it's a double eviction week so he wouldn't have to make an AP nomination.

I'm sure America will vote to save Jen, based on the popularity poll and our love of screwing with Eric.

Yeah, there's no way he'd try for HoH unless he knew he got to make his own nominations. I'm not sure he trusts us enough yet to not make him nominate Jessica.

I'm of the opinion that if it gets closer to the end that if he was told to nominate or evict Jessica that he might just refuse to do it and tell them to pick again. It's not like the point where he is assigned the tasks is aired live. What could they really do? He could just tell them he'd go out and tell all the houseguests the twist. They could try to deny him the money I suppose, but once that genie was out of the bottle the producers would be screwed.

Post veto drama

Spoiler:
The happy little week is over. Jen's not really all that happy with her nomination. She's been reading the rule book trying to find loop holes and threatening to either walk out the door or to not go to sequester. Dick has taken this opportunity to end the "truce" with some inappropriate phrases.

I Love Jen!!!!!!
Spoiler:
She's destroying Dick's cigarettes! Sweet justice!



Spoiler:
Of course, the show will edit it to make it look like Dick is some poor innocent victim and Jen is some heinous hag bent on harassing him and his daughter.

Awesome.

At first, I thought this season was going to suck, but it's been really pretty great this season. Watching Dick go off on everyone. Jen's antics. Amber bawling all of the time. Jameka waving her Bible around. Eric getting fucked with by America.

I don't really give a rat's ass who wins; the entertainment is in watching the antics in the house.

hmmm

Spoiler:

Jen's freak out may have saved Eric from getting screwed by America. For going of slop or whatever else she did, it looks like she is automatically nominated for next week, so they are thinking they might vote out Jameka now since Jen is nominated next week already.

that is if she doesn't walk out.

Spoiler:
The ironic thing if Jameka ends up leaving is that she stopped the fight (E/J were in the hot tub, Rogre was grilling steaks). Dick and Jen were VERY close to getting into a physical altercation. Dick blew smoke directly in Jen's face, and she tried repeatedly to slap the cigarette from his hand (while he continued to take puffs and blow in her face). Later on Jam/Jess were talking about it, and they both thought that Jen was about a second away from slapping Dick, which would have led Dick to retaliate, but Jameka got up and pulled Jen away. If they had hit each other they both might have been ejected (though I imagine BB would desperately try to find a way to keep Dick in the house).

Strategic Mastermind Dickless may want to vote out Jameka now, but just wait until Daniele gets home and starts her whining.

I'd be surprised if all this goes down ...
Spoiler:
Zach and Dick have hatched out a plan to the final 5
- vote out Jameka this week
- everybody throws HOH to Amber
- vote out Jen
- vote out Amber
- Dick, Danielle, Zach, Eric & Jessica are final 5

I think a 2 eliminations in one week will come up or something similar and derail this, Jessica and Eric have already been talking about getting rid of a Donata soon without them having to be responsible.

Spoiler:
There's no way Eric would willingly allow Zach to get past final 6. That is where the Dickless/Daniele/Eric/Jessica alliance ends because they'll fight over who is the more amenable number 3 for each couple.

Spoiler:

What was she going through the rulebook looking for a loophole to? Also since she is automatically on the block next week does that mean she can't play in this weeks HOH competition?

Spoiler:
If this is true, and she found that loophole that put her as an automatic nominee next week by going off slop it really was jenious on her part. Now, the houseguest will most likely vote off jameka, AND Jen will have a chance to compete for POV next week.


Really, it's a win win for BB producers.

Spoiler:
Not really Jenious because I read that she can't compete for POV or have the POV used on her next week. Still not a bad move since the Prophet will probably go this week now and she has a better then 50/50 chance of staying next week. So not a good move by your reasoning but still a good move if it was on purpose.

Dick is such a misogynist. It's almost painful to watch his spew. I hope people do really see his sickness.

I really hope:

Spoiler:
If they all do vote to keep Jen, that America votes to keep Jameka, which would force Eric to be the sole vote for Jameka. Think of the fireworks if that happens!


And last nights AD was pretty entertaining.

All he has to do is convince the HGs that he's throwing a courtesy vote way so it's not a sweep.

A few posts I just read. I don't think it spoils anything, it's just snippets of the class act talking to himself this morning, before anyone else is up. None of this is from me:

Dick doing a lot of laughing and talking out loud as he goes about his morning routine....getting things from the SR and in the kitchen as he makes something for himself to eat...looks like it will be bacon and eggs.

A few of his comments have included:
"Sicko"
"F'ing mental case man"
"She walked to the edge...she went over"
"Mother F'er ate all the ham, B**ch"
"This is going to be another good day. I KNOW it is"
"Breakdown" hums a few bars of a song?
"F'ing crazy B**ch, Tom Petty, Breakdown"
"Volatile relationship? Julie I don't know what you mean"

All his comments to himself/or cams interspersed with laughter. Seems to be enjoying his thoughts. Loud belch from Dick.

Now time to light up a cigarette, which he does and lets out one more big belch as he crosses his feet on table, leans back to smoke. Quiet now except for some occasional coughing and spitting.

....and the silence is broken with some more loud belches.

Now lets out another laugh as he amuses himself with his thoughts.
An even bigger laugh ensues and the comments, "Oh God" "aye yi yi". Then something (which I can't catch, followed by Tom Petty, Breakdown. Must be a song he is comparing last night's situation to?

Takes plate inside, comes back out and lets out a really big belch and goes over to laundry area to start a load of laundry.

Hear the word b**ch again and then he coughs a lot and spits and says egads and heads back inside to wash his dishes.

At sink he mutters "slop brain" and laughs Says that will be a new BB term.
