Dick is playing solitaire and cursing the skippies for waking him up - twice. I can't wait until he starts hurling abuse at the cards. "You like that Queenie! Motherfucker! Red! Everyone knows you're a communist! Everyone heard what you said about the Jack of Clubs!"
OMFG!!! Card cursing!! You KNOW he's thinking it. Frick'n hillarious.

Zenmaster Zach "Because he's Zach" meditates on the message of The Shell also known as Zach's only alliance in this game with the possible exception of his faithless sandwich that betrays him again and again. His eyes travel the circle at the tip. His mind travels through the ages it took (eight months approximately for a lightning whelk to achieve that size) to build each 360 degree turn. In his heart, he knows that a fighting conch or a sea urchin overran his whelk and ate it and he can identify with it's one in a million struggle that ended in the tragedy of a cascade of blue balls ocean water.
(I pause to eat a bite of meatloaf.)
The Shell. The Game. The asshole who vexes him. This is for geeks everywhere. Go, Shell! be the best shell you can possibly be!
Wait. That was the nadria.
Zach falls asleep. A geek and his shell. Sweet dreams guppy.

Kids. Cover your ears.
Ladies. (Male and female) I can feel the tidal wave urge of ... OMG! He's there all alone. in his wee bed with his wee shell .. and we have FOUR feeds of Zach! There's room on that bed for two and he's probably still cold from last night. Oh if only I were hooked up to the virtual reality skin suit in the lawnmower man I would LOVE to start Zach's engine.
Rooweeerrrrrr. Down kitty!
Stop now. He's just a kid. You are not Demi Moore!

Ok what would YOU be recaping? The man is comatose on a child's bed for christ sake. Back me on this Haunted.

With luck they are explaining why Dick had to go to the *bunny ear fingers* Quiet place.
Edit to add more ...
We return and Zach hasn't moved but ... he looks .. mad.
Zach gets up and goes to sit alone in the bathroom.
Bunny ear fingers. Heh heh.

The recappers of the HOH part 1 endurance competition last night get my admiration and praise; you all rose to the occasion and got the job done with great truth, wit, and heart, not to mention remarkable stamina. It will go down for me as the best of Season 8 and also among my favorite of final endurance challenges. Great work!

Dick is dead on the circly bed. They've decided to leave the lights on on in the circly room though so we can view his body. This way CBS won't have to fork out any money for a wake.
Dani is so totally spent from the 3 1/2 minutes she spent in the competition and the subsequent non-cheering she did that she can't even get herself out of her wee bed to make Dick's funeral arrangements.
Zack is up, has had breakfast and now sits at the breakfast bar. He's too sore to even bother with his Air Math at this point. He's taken to building a fort around him, much like Jam's yesterday. Zack's fort has a few holes in it though, much like his strategy for this year. He goes into either the Dr or the storage room, I always get those doors mixed up. Comes out and does a lot of stuff that I really don't care about. Sits back down, behind his fort, at the breakfast bar with the two fucking bunny topiaries on it. That's what I say too,"Fucking Bunnies!"
It's a good thing I didn't read this at work. My coworkers already think I'm throwed off, this would have had them checking with HR for mental health programs...great job
Ronnieroller, you crack me up.
Beez, your Keith Richards/Dick are dead posts made me think of
Lexx with Kai and the protoblood...oh wait there was a

All the recapping has been incredible and so much more entertaining than the show was last night, even with the jury house footage. Thanks to you all, and to the mods for keeping things neat and tidy.

I think the best part of this entire season was the recaps here at Hamstertime! Thank you so much, but alas. The game is done completely and utterly for me now. The tears roll down my face in sadness to such an end.
And Thank Goodness SURVIVOR Starts next week!
Thank you recappers for the AMAZING recap session of the first part of the HOH. I foolishly thought Zach might have a chance. Then I foolishly (not having listened too well to the show) hoped that maybe the 3 finalists could compete in all three competitions and therefore helping Zach to somehow get past those devious devils. No such luck.
I. just. can't. go. on.
love ya, love ya, love ya! And until next year, tata for now

Dick says of all the HGs he wished had stuck around longer, it would have been Joe for the entertainment factor.
They discuss the burning issue of our times-how did Nick really feel about Zach. Wow-I was just reading an editorial about that in The Washington Post this morning! The writer made some excellent points regarding Nicks feeling of cognitive dissonance regarding some of Zach's more non-linear remarks, as well as his concerns regarding the true reasoning of Zach's seeming continual interference in his burgeoning relationship with Danielle, and how troublede he was to learn of the sado-masochistic tendencies Zach seemed to exhibit in his private life.
Dani says he thought Zach was a 'good guy'.
Dick is gobsmacked that he missed the Jen question tonight. He overthought it, thought it was a trick question.

Well, as usual, I am sad that my "summer family" of HT recappers, lurkers and fellow snarkers will not be part of my life for the short term. While I have hated this season from nearly the beginning of the show, I have totally enjoyed reading the recaps, ramblings and miscellaneous musings, often to the detriment of sleep and work and kids (and not in that order).
This site hosts the creme de la creme of recappers and snarky fun and I am proud to be a part of the best BB website. Beehoppy and Beez, your recaps are truly funny. Ferfe, wickedtong, anders, gforce, jerrye and ff174, I love reading yours as well. I missed uaintjack this season, but was happy to see so many regulars make me laugh on more than one occasion. I actually love all of you, but can't think clearly off the top of my "Donato-mashed" brain, so please know that all you regulars and newbies alike are all great and if I didn't name you by name, please don't take it as a slight, just my being brain dead!

The blanket is trying to get away but she keeps beating the hell out of it to keep it in line. Always get in on a group at the beginning, Danny. Late comers get hazed all to hell and the group always looks at you like lunch no matter how much shit you do for them. Zach never really gel'd with the sandwich and that saddens me still.
I'm no expert on Solitaire but I believe Dick is cheating out there at the breakfast bar.
Skippys are banging and thumping all over the walls and with every thump, SkeleDanny twitches and moves. I have never understood why they have to drag the last part of this show out like this. The dregs left in the house are ... well ... they are dregs. Bitter ones at that. Send in the midget or something.

She looks like a trashy porn star from the side (ok, and from the front, I admit). Her arms are grossly thin, and her boobs and hair stick out equally far in front of them. She actually kind of resembles a seven-year-old girl (all rangey and thin) wearing a Jennifer Coolidge wig.
