As! You! Were!

From Reality BBQ:

I know what you mean. I like ice cream, but I never have craved it until watching this season. Everytime I watch them with those big bowls of it, it makes me want to go out and buy some!

All that ice cream eating by the hamsters is getting to me, too. There's a Coldstone just around the corner from my apartment. I think before the show tonight I will hop over there and pick up a pint. It will be the perfect mix: ice cream and laughter, once they realize they have to go through a double eviction night.

Now, I have a question. Jess and Jameka are all packed up and ready for either one to talk a walk. But what about the others? If it's all done live, how can the next person evicted (unless it's Jess or Jameka) get all their things together in the time alloted for this to unfold on Live! TV!? (I have a feeling there's some obvious answer to this and I'm just not able to reel it in at the moment).

I can't remember how they did it last season. My guess would be that after the show, BB would call an outside lockdown so the evicted hammie could go back in and pack their stuff.

Thank you, Magpie!

Good Lord...Why are they letting them sleep so long. On live show day they are normally up early. Maybe they want them well rested for tonights double eviction.

I hope that they never tell them what's happening.

• Everybody come in the living room for the eviction ceremony
• Everybody to the backyard for HoH
• Everybody to the living room for nominations
• Everybody to the backyard for the veto competition
• Everybody to the living room for the veto ceremony
• Everyone stay in your places for the eviction ceremony
• Everyone to the backyard for the HoH competition

Bam, Bam, Bam. One after the other no conversations allowed.

that was exactly what I came here to ask. Last year they knew something was up as soon as the first comp was announced (since they filmed them over a few days) so they had plenty of time to pack. But how in the world do they plan on doing this? I agree that a lock down would be the obvious choice but wh didn't they just have them pack right now? Lord knows they have nothing else to do besides primp and sleep.

If they told everyone to pack, they would know what is going to go down. It could affect who get's voted out in the first eviction ceremony and it would allow them to discuss who should be nominated for the second eviction.

It's better to keep them totally out of the loop until it goes down.

That's pretty much the way I remember the FF last year. I'm not sure how they handled the packing issue but I seem to have some vague recollection of BB ordering the remaining hamsters to pack up the loser's stuff themselves after the live show and bring it to the SR. Does anyone else remember that? Maybe I dreamed it.

If they do the second HoH this evening, the evicted hamster (or production staff) could easily pack the items without interacting with the remaining hamsters.

Because I am just that sad I went back and researched this in the HT archives.

It seems it actually wasn't an issue last year as the second evictee was Chicken George who had already been on the mac earlier for the first eviction (which was Danielle). Since he had packed for the first eviction, he was good to go for the second.


Now, obviously there was no way to have foreseen this, so I don't know what the plan had been.

exactly. Chicken Georgie was all set to go, so we didn't get to see what would happen! Janelle said that "they'll know" in that random interview shown on last night's feed, because BB is going to tell them all to "dress comfortably". I'm not sure why they would know based on that information, if anything that would probably make me anticipate an endurance competition....


anyways, i am praying to OGG that Jameka isn't the other evictee (assuming jess goes first) and we can possibly have a Marcy-esque repeat!!! (Remember, he was not packed since he fully expected to stay even after not using the veto on himself in S3? He ran to the bedroom and grabbed his stuffed animal and carried it out in what was a mostly-empty BB bag!!! it was pure gold.)

I think for ED, he'd have to grab his cartons of Cigs. That would make me laugh my ass off.

ETA: Yes, I agree about the no-convo policy. Last year they allowed Janey to get pulled off into the other room after she won HoH so Will could work his magic. I don't want any conferring. Julie needs to order the HoH winner to the DR immediately to make their decision. But you know this probably won't hold true since there will be commercial breaks in between the comps and BB will probably let them run off into corners to strategize.

OK, I do not know if this is where to ask this question but I will try anyway.

Has ANYONE seen the sequester house? Is it only on ShowTime After Dark?

No one has seen it.

Some believe that the evicted hamsters are being housed in separate habitrails.

That's a good idea about the agenda of the show not allowing them to talk. I remember last year that the last minute conversation with Will influenced Janey and Boogie really threathened CG too, tho I'm not sure if that was a last minute thing with him. If they weren't allowed to talk (under penalty nomination) and had only a few seconds to think it possible could make a huge difference. Unless you had thought ahead and had a plan for various scenarios I think most Hammies would nominate and vote emotionally rather than strategically. You couldn't make deals. Quite a deserved outcome for those who have just been letting others do the thinking for them. I am always frustrated that the only long-range planning those idiots do is say "we have to get HOH next time". I would hope that if I were ever in there I'd spend my time (with or without colored skittles) making 6 plans for every possible combination of events. These bozos are like the ones on Survivor who don't bother to memorize the Boy Scout Manual before they hit the beach.

Let's see if I have this right:

D&D still have Erick convinced that they are voting out Jameka and they have told Jameka the same., but they are really planning on voting out Jessica. However, Dani slipped yesterday and made reference to the # of people that will be competing for HoH tonight and that let Jess know that she's really D&D's target. But, D&D are also planning on going to Jameka right before showtime to try and strike a deal with her, and if she agrees, then Jameka is going to think that D&D "saved" her at the last minute, even though she was never the target to begin with. Zach is aware of this entire plan, but Erick is not.

Is that correct? Is that why Eick is still being nice to Daniele and Dick, acting like their alliance is still intact?

I think you've got it right Alleykat, or at least that's what I think is going on.

Thats the way it looks to me too. Unless we missed something with all the swirlies and stealth whispering that have been going on.

Did someone mean that they are showing the seguestered ones on Showtime or did they mean they thought only Showtime was doing it, but they are not doing it??? Clear as mud?

The sequester house has not been shown on Showtime or anywhere else. There will probably be a short clip on one of the upcoming broadcast shows.

Ok, thanks. I was afraid that I'd missed some SuperSecretMeeting and was behind on the plan. Of course, I will enjoy watching their plans possibly fizzle with the surpise of a double eviction.

I'm pretty sure that I read a recap from last night that had D&D talking about the fact that Jameka would be gone tomorrow (today), so who knows what they will end up doing.

The only thing that could have salvaged this season would have been for Zach to have used the Veto. Dick would have had no choice but to put up Danielle. Even though whoever Zach didn't save would have been gone at least it would have offered abit of amusement in watching Dick squirm and Dani getting all whiney. It looks like one of those two is going to win, and I think it will ultimately destroy what little relationship they have left.

Worst. Final. Four. Ever.

Zach is a rusted out piece of tool. What a stupid move on his part.
Seriously, I think I am going to demand a refund from the winner of BB. I want my money back. This season was nearly raw sewage.

Not that I really care...but if I have to choose a winner, I choose Jameka. I hope she returns to HOH playing and kicks all of their butts over the back fence.

Well, I can stop watching the show now. Small consolation since there's not many episodes left but it's all I've got. That, and the fact that Jessica and Eric can go to sequester together. I hope they let him tell about AP in the jury house. Or on the plane down there.

I hate this show. I am actually pulling for Jameka to win and I've never liked her very much. Since Zach is a wuss who won't make big plays, even though he has no problem encouraging others to make them, I am officially hoping Jameka wins. I hope that by keeping her tonight they have all three screwed themselves for final two. Seriously, how cool would it be to give up five HOHs and still win? Also, even though I think Eric might have been able to beat any of them (depending on how the jury house pecking order shapes up), I know Jameka probably can.

My sister said evil always wins BB but I am officially on the Hope train these last few months and even thought it hasn't worked so far, I am hoping that none of those sucky three people win.

Instead of just having Eric's vote can America just straight up pick who wins? And only give us about two minutes because I noticed that after two minutes of voting apparently America does want the Donatos gone. Or, at least Daniele.

Go Jameka!

I am rooting for Jameka now too. I was rooting for Eric & Jess, but now they are gone. Zach would have been my 3rd choice, but after the idiot move tonight .. not anymore.

Your sister is 100% correct. That's why I've known since week 1 that Dick would win. The game was just designed that way.

So...Do we know of the timing of the HOH competition? Are they playing it now and we'll find out later? Is it going to be tomorrow??

OK...I am confused, and I'm sure the wonderful posters on this board can/will enlighten me.

Is the next HOH being played right now, or will it be played on Sunday?

I did a rewind on what Julie said and I am still confused.

Also...Julie said Jessica was right there. Does that mean that she now knows about America's player? I am guessing that weasel-boy can now tell the jury members about him being AP?

Thanks in advance for the enlightment!

ETA...I still can not wish a win for Jameka. Think I have to throw my non-jury vote to Zach.

She was talking about Jessica being at the jury house ...

It's official: I have no preference as to who wins. For the first time in my BB watching history I didn't care who got evicted, who got HOH or who got nominated. There was legitimately no one to cheer for. Kudos to Allison Grodner, the absolute equalizer.

As an aside, did they say how many questions it would take to win HOH, or just call it a win when ED took the lead?

Blech.

I'll take Jameka, only because that would cap the crapfest.

I don't remember ever hearing Julie say how many questions or how many points needed to win.

The only way that a Donato can stay now is for Dani to win HOH next and Dick or her to get POV. Come on Do-NAA-tos!

Julie said that there would be 8 questions and whoever had the most correct answers after the 8th question was asked would be the new HOH.

wickedtong:



Julie said there would be 8 questions, but I didn't actually count how many she asked.

I'm assuming they're doing the HOH comp now, right?

eta michal beat me to it, but at least I get to play with the new italic button

man Daniele is a quick change, she had on a purple dress for the eviction of Jessica and when she walked through the patio door to the HOH game on the steps, she had on shorts, and knee socks.
She was horrible during the POV, Jameka was throwing a fit over the blue ball. I am glad she came up with the accidently bounced in instead of blaming it on one of the others.

I hope they are keeping the guests seperate, I don't want Eric and Jessica together, I don't believe the LOVE part, I do think she can do much better. The difference in their religion and where they live, that is a no win situation. Go home to Kansas Jessica and fine a CUTE GUY!! *one that uses socks for their feet ONLY)

IT was exciting show for me, I can't wait for the HOH comps, the Sunday/Tuesday and Next Thursday's show. I am glad they are getting them over with fast and before Survivor starts.

The only interesting thing for me at this point is the America's Player reveal. This week is going to be so horribly boring that I'm not sure if I'll be able to watch. I just hope someone wipes the smug look from Danielle's face and sends her packing. At least Dick's reaction to that would be mildly entertaining.

I'm glad that Eric got through the game without being forced to backstab Jess. The relationship probably won't work but I think they'll be good friends. And good friends are worth more than a silly reality show.

OK, was I the ONLY one yelling at their TV," this is why you can't leave PAIRS in a Big Brother house!" ARGHH, how annoying. I was also yelling, "it's just like Will and Boogie! When will you idiots learn?"

Then I also accepted that Dick and Danielle are amazing, how did they stay? They should have been the most obvious targets. I think it was because they were so unlikable, that they were able to stay somehow. (not threats to win jury votes in some players minds or something)

Zach had a brief shot at kicking out a Donato, and he blew it, too. (using veto would have put Dani up of course, and she would have been voted out)

I don't care who wins either.

Is there anyway to find out if the feeds are indeed going to blackout?

The feeds are currently on trivia but I have no idea what they are doing....

They won because of Eric and AP. I can't remember what week it was that they were aginst each other but it was the one when Dick took Daniele off and I think Dick would have been gone if it wasn't for Eric. The week against Dustin. That was the beginning of the end.

I wonder if BBAD will be on Showtime then...

Don't the feeds HAVE to come back for Showtime?

When Eric said he was going to "fight like a maniac for Jessica's honor," did anyone else get the feeling that he was going to totally pour it on in the comps tonight? Me either. As usual, he was as useless as tits on a boar hog.

The show is listed for ShoToo tonight.

It could be the HOH is an endurance comp and is going on now.

I have never understood why it's always said that Eric is such a great player.

He never won an HOH, and only won one POV. Maybe he had lots of past "trivia" stored up in his brain, but that certainly did not help him.

In spite of being the AP he still could have won competitions. As it is anyway, he is $40K richer, and that's not bad compensation, compared with only the $9K he would have made if not in the F2.

In my eye, the only "gift" he had was being able to talk fast, and long, and with gross repetition...more then any other player I can remember.

I do believe if he had avoided the intimate relationship with Jess it may have improved his game.

I don't know, he lied to her constantly. He kissed her on demand of America (easily the creepiest task ever), he presented her a fake grubby stuffed toy with some manipulative sob story about how it's his most cherished possession, he convinced her to vote or nominate at least three times (by my count) directly against her interest, he went for the potential 1/5th of $10K by pretending to be sick when she was HoH and needed him most instead of being there for her honestly . . . etc. Even when he owned up to his weaselly actions with the votes and mustard and such, he lied about why he did it, and lied about the extent of his actions.

Eric was constantly backstabbing Jess, if you look at the big picture. "I love and care for her, but I had to constantly lie and manipulate her for good and excusable reasons" is not the basis of any sort of real relationship. This wasn't a cute relationship, Eric was hardwired to screw her over the minute his interests or his role as AP would be compromised.

I don't care whatever "real" feelings Eric had for Jess, it was a fake relationship. I wish her all the best, hope she learned a lesson after falling for it.

I hope he ends up in the lead-lined hell of obscurity that Maggie resides in, the reality show creeps whose actions are so disgusting that you never hear of them again.

I think Eric had to potential to be a great player. Winning comps doesn't make someone a great player, look at Dr. Will.

It's hard to say what would have been if Eric had not been America's Player. I think he'll admit that his personal relationships sometimes got in the way. But how many people are capable of remaining completely cold and logical after living with people for so long? Even Dani, the ice princess, almost threw her game away when Nick got evicted.

He made it to the top 5 without making any decisions himself, everything he did was what America wanted, it was against his alliance but yet he still made it through. Seems like good game play to me.

Maybe he didn't win anything because he saw that America was going against his alliance and loved the Donatos and he knew that it would be bad if he won HOH. In fact, once he saw who America was rooting for, he formed an alliance with the people who eventually threw him out. I remember one HOH contest that it was so obvious he threw. I think it was the one where he buzzed in before Julie even started the question.

By the way, can someone please tell me the disgusting sneaky things that he did that has him labeled at a weasel? I don't get the hate.



Didn't he kiss her the first time before the task? I thought I remember him saying that since he'd already done it, it would be easy to do it again.
