Liveblogging - Thursday, July 26th, 2007
-:40 - Gettin' ready for show time
:00 - Previously on Big Brother 8....
:02 - Hey there Julie! You look fetching in your coral-colored top and white pants. Dick's week is coming to an end. Out of loyalty to Kail, Mike tried to knock Dick out of the HOH comp so Dick gave Jen the win. But first, this week's veto comp set off a chain reaction in the house causing Dick to rethink his plan.
:03 - Jen uses the POV on herself. Dick puts up Mike. It is what it is. Kail in DR says it's a horrible feeling to be sitting next to Mike on block because he's a friend and a great guy. Mike in DR says he's not going to campaign against Kail. Zach in DR says he'd vote Kail out 150%.
:05 - Dick & Nick in HOH room. Dick says putting them up would break up the alliance. He wants to break the two of them up. Nick & Dick agree on sending Mike home. Dick goes to Jameka and Dustin saying he thinks Mike needs to go next. Jameka in DR feels like she would be one of Mike's targets if he was HOH because they don't really connect.
:06 - Kail & Jen in hammock. Kail asks Jen if she's going home and Jen says nobody's really talking about. Kail says she needs five votes and that her only hope is that maybe others will think now will be time for a strong player to leave. Jen says most others don't think that Mike's a strong player. Mike talking to Jen in kitchen. Jen tells Mike that Kail never even told her after sleeping with her for 19 nights that Kail never even told her about that alliance. Mike in DR says he hopes that everybody sees him as true and trustworthy.
:08 - Jameka, Jessica, and Nick in BY. Nick thinks it would be best if Mike's gone. Nick thinks keeping Kail around would be beneficial just because she's going to be screwed in the head.
:08 - Eric gets his mission as AP. Who should get evicted from the BB house? The answer is Kail. Says he thinks Mike will be leaving on a 9-0 vote but if America wants Kail to go he's going to try to send her packing. Eric starts trying to get Kail gone by talking to Dustin & Amber in kitchen.
:09 - Dustin, Jameka, Dick, Eric in HOH talking about pros and cons of keeping Kail. Eric wants to analyze things in detail and says he doesn't one or the other to happen and is more than happy for either of them to go home (all of this is going home while Dick is farting in the bathroom and spraying freshener). LOL Amber joins HOH room. Eric thinks Kail is a far more aggressive and active player than Mike will ever be. Eric wants to take out the aggressive and active player. Dani comes in HOH room now. Dick catches Dani up. Eric says he knows how Kail can harm them but doesn't know how Mike can. Eric says in Dr that he's trying for us. Dustin back in HOH says he's planning on voting Mike out. Dick brings up Kail's aggressive campaigning and how she could do that to any one of them at any time.
:12 - Nick may have given Daniele the key to heart but before she came in to the house the key to her heart belonged to someone else. Who is the man that Daniele left behind and will he still be there when she returns? Also ahead, the HGs cast their vote to evict live. But first, let's go to the DR.
:13 - Zach says Kail has already played her hand, folded her hand, and is basically packed and ready to go and they might as well open the door for her. Dustin says Mike eats a lot and is a giant and has the personality of a dead fish. Jessica says Mike is very strong but isn't sure how smart he is because he never talks. Amber says Mike's just really hard to read and is a wild card. Jessica says Kail is a strong player because she's smart and competitive and if she stays longer it will be harder to get her out later. Dustin says Mike is a silent but strong and that those types are the silent but deadly types and have to go. Commercial.
:16 - JC welcomes us back and reminds us we're live. Time to go the living room to talk to everybody. She says one of you is incredibly bold this week. They show footage of Zach streaking and everybody's laughing and clapping about it. Zach, what possessed you to do this in front of everybody? He says that there's highs and lows in the game and was feeling a low but needed his high back and feels it worked. Jameka, you've been a little bit quieter. What do you think about your fellow HGs drawing attention to themselves. Says she knows when to hold them and when to fold them. Asks Jen about the mustard on her shirt. Jen says she's decided to stop the investigation until she gets home and has no suspects. Eric, that was quite a wrestling match you had with Jen a while back. How does it feel that you were pinned by a girl on national TV. He says she's buffed up and he's one of the biggest guys in the house but that he's up for a rematch.
:19 - What does Dani's live-in boyfriend have to say about the man that appears to be stealing Daniele's heart? Showing footage of Dani & Nick making googly eyes and talking about her boyfriend.
:20 - Kris says he and Daniele have been together for 2 years. He says their relationship is serious and they've talked about marriage in the past and believes Dani is his soulmate. More footage of Nick and Daniele. Kris says Nick is the typical guy that makes all of them look bad. Wants to think it's all strategy and gameplay. Says Daniele told him straight up before she went into the house that he has to trust her and that it's a game. Dani crying about Kris' upcoming birthday footage. Kris knows that Dani wants to be with him and loves him but that right now she's just confused. He doesn't think Dani will screw up their relationship and that Nick can do whatever he wants to try to do but that he's not worried about it. It's all about trust. Footage of Nick/Dani under the blanket. Kris can't wait for her to come home.
:22 - Dick in HOH talking with Julie. She asks about his relationship with Daniele right now. He says he got his first hug in over two years and that things are going in the right direction. She asks about Nick and his feelings towards Daniele. If he had to decide right now if he could trust Nick right now...he said he would evict him right now if he had the chance. Asks about calling people out. Dick says it's gameplay calling people out so that people don't have to run around and whisper behind people's backs. No he said/she said. He says he got so deep into Kail's head that he needed a miner's light to get in there.
:24 - More about Jen coming up. Back to DR.
:24 - Jen says that Kail is a definite liability to her now and that she can't tell her any info because she doesn't know what's going to get out. Jameka says that it was already established during the veto comp that if you can get a commitment from Mike he'll be on your side to the end. Dani thinks Kail jumped into the game a little bit too fast and didn't think about the decisions she was making and it was sloppy game play. Nick says the only reason he'd want to evict Kail is because the alliance is in shambles and she doesn't know who to trust and that she kinda outed him and thinks he might be a target of her. Jameka thinks Kail could help her in the long run because she feels they have an established rapport. Dani gets the impression that Mike is a lot smarter than people take him for and if they don't get him out now it might be harder down the road.
:28 - JC welcomes us back. Jen is a Beverly Hills nanny outside the house. Footage of Dick/Jen talking in BY about how people think of her. Jen's mom Anita says she was not like this as a child. Double major in Child Development and Architecture but thinks that first impressions are what they are. Kara (friend) thinks that Jen got upset about the picture because it's her livelihood and is used to looking at her pics with a fine-toothed comb. Mom says it did hurt her a little bit when Jen took her pic down and that she may think that sometimes appearances are more important than they need to be. More Dick/Jen footage. Kara talks about a convo that she and Jen had before she left about how Jen needed to play dumb in the game. Footage of Jen being airheaded. Anita says she's a great girl and that she hopes she's around long enough so that we can see that.
:30 - Who will be leaving tonight? Hello houseguests. Mike says that sometimes in life we have to step outside of our comfort zone and risk your own security for what you believe in and says he believes in integrity and honesty and says he had to make some actions in an inconvenient action that sacrificed his security. Hopes that all of them noticed it. (going on and on) Will walk out with dignity. Kail says she really appreciates their friendship and it's meant a lot to her. That each and every one of them will always have a special bond just by being in the house. If she stays, she hopes she can build the bonds.
:33 - Zach votes to evict Kail. Jameka votes to evict Mike. Jen votes to evict (ponders for a moment) Mike. Dustin (wearing silly moustache...lol) votes to evict Mike. Rest vote live when we return. Commercial.
:37 - We're back. Voting continues. 3-1 in favorite of evicting Mike. Eric has to vote to evict Kail. Says he's Casanova of the BB house and that everybody's fair game (in reply to a possible AP question). Amber votes to evict Mike. Nick votes to evict Mike. It's official with 5 votes to evict Mike. Daniele votes to evict Michael. Jessica votes to evict Mike. Back to the LR.
:39 - Time to reveal the votes. By a vote of 7-2, Mike, you are evicted from the BB house. Gets up, doesn't hug anybody. Hands roses out of the topiaries to the girls. Tells everybody good l uck. Finally gets a hug. Walking out. He seems upset at being evicted.
:40 - Mike meets JC. Back to inside the house.
:41 - Dick accuses Jen of being the vote to evict Kail.
:41 - JC with Mike now. Tells Mike that people on the internet that his taunting Dick has been called the stupidest move ever. Says he was playing integrity and honestly. In Zach's video he says he stayed true to his vote to keep him in the house. Kail says he thinks they've both been played and that he's paying for it. Dustin says that he only knows 4 things about him after 3 weeks (he's from Wisconsin, like planes, a model, and eats a lot of meat). Amber says he's a great person and will be a great husband some day. Jen says it took a lot of guts to fight Dick while he was fighting on a pedestal. Dick says that putting yourself out there for anybody else in this game is stupid. Mike on The Early Show tomorrow morning.
:44 - Coming up is the HOH competition. Same stupid question/answer comp. Lame.
:47 - HOH competition called 'Eliminator'. Will be asking a serious of questions about HGs who have already been eliminated. Answers will be Carol, Joe, Mike, or none of the above. Buzz in to answer. If you're correct, you choose to eliminate somebody else. If you're wrong you're eliminated.
:48 - Can't keep up with the fast questions. Down to Jessica, Dustin, Jameka, Eric, Daniele, and Amber. Dustin gets rid of Jessica. Eric gets rid of Amber. Eric gets rid of Daniele. Eric is out. Down to Dustin and Jameka now. Dustin answers correctly and is the new HOH! Dick hands over the key. Everybody congratulating him. Commercial.
:54 - We're back. Time for us to get involved in AP question. Who do we want out of the house. Tell Eric who we want eliminated. Who should Eric get nominated? Vote here!
:55 - Let's rejoin the HGs. Congratulations Dustin! How does it feel and what does he think Joe thinks at home? Dustin says that Joe's prob spitting and screaming at home and that being HOH feels great. Dustin thinks he can be himself more now that Joe is out. Dick says his advice to Dustin is to keep a low profile but have fun. Kail says she caught a huge break and thanks everybody for keeping her here and says she's very blessed. JC tells them bye.
:56 - Who will Dustin nominate for eviction? Find out Sunday at 8:00 PM ET/7:00 PM CT. Then Tuesday at 9:00 PM ET/8:00 PM CT will the golden POV save one of the two nominees? Reminds us about the next live eviction a week from now and Showtime BBAD. Let's eavesdrop on the HGs.
:58 - Good night to you too Julie!
Dustin being HOH this week will be very interesting indeed. Nice to see a little bit of a shakeup. Who do you think he'll put up on the block? Do you think them evicting Mike was the smartest thing?

Awww, Dani's boyfriend is really cute, and seems like a really good guy. She better forget about player Nick.

"Jen has been described as a vain, robotic bitch"
Posted by: Erik at July 26, 2007 05:26 PM
dumb....dumb...dumb....... I cant believe they voted Mike out....They will be feeling this day later....
Posted by: Shawna at July 26, 2007 05:40 PM
I wanted either Eric or Jameka to win, oh well. Dustin is OK. I still say they need to get rid of Dick, but not sure if Dustin has the balls to do it.

I wanted either Eric or Jameka to win, oh well. Dustin is OK. I like Dustin. I still say they need to get rid of Dick, but not sure if Dustin has the balls to do it.
Posted by: bbfanindallas at July 26, 2007 05:54 PM
I loved it when Dick called Jen out thinking she voted Kail out....did you see Eric's face....just with his head down. Dustin will keep Amber, so that sucks...im tired of her crying ALLLLLLLLLL of the time....who do you all think he will put up?
Posted by: Shawna at July 26, 2007 05:58 PM
So glad that Dustin is HOH!
Posted by: GWheez at July 26, 2007 06:01 PM
Hope he puts up Daniele and Dick!
Posted by: CanFan at July 26, 2007 06:11 PM
I must have been distracted during the spining mushroom test. I thought Kail was on the longest since she won HOH from it.
Posted by: Jim at July 26, 2007 06:26 PM
youre right jim.....if that is the case, they will do the HOH all over again....we will see.
Posted by: Shawna at July 26, 2007 06:39 PM
I seriously can not believe what is going on in that house! Those people are all really dumb! They don't even realize Dick has them all on lock down. They are all so intimadated by him that they don't realize he's got total control over that house. What a bunch of morons. As much as I hate to say this but Jen or Kail need to get the HOH in the up coming weeks and get Dick the hell out of there. I can't stand the way he plays the game. He has no strategy, its just all peer intimidation. They are scared of him. Dick needs to go.
And to those of you who actually feel sorry for a dead beat Dad...Shame on you! Danielle has every right to feel the anger she does toward that man. Although it would probably be best for her to forgive him, she does not need to establish a relationship with him if she doesn't want to. I think ultimately he'll just end up letting her down and hurting her again.
Posted by: April at July 26, 2007 06:43 PM
I like how Eric threw the HoH comp. He was smart enough to know that fan voted nominations would be hard to explain.
Posted by: Erik at July 26, 2007 06:44 PM
Kail did stay on the longest in the mushroom competition, but the answers were only about former houseguests.
I think he will put up Zack and Nick
Posted by: Wanda at July 26, 2007 06:59 PM
What "cant" Nick do to his hair per BB? and Why?
Posted by: Shawna at July 26, 2007 07:02 PM
Okay, a couple of things...Dick needs to go. Amber has been saying all week that she wants him put up, so lets see if her and Dustin can whip up a pair of balls between the two of them.
Daniele's bf is gross. Have a fling with Nick he's way hotter.
Jen's mom and friend are total liars. I refuse to believe that a girl that went to college and received a degree in engineering, of all things, is a bikini model and nanny. Right, keep dreaming.
Finally, I really think that Kail should have gone this week. Mike laid everything out on the table for the HG's. Kail is still going to sneak around... I hope that it comes back to bite them.
Posted by: JC at July 26, 2007 07:08 PM
Jim- Kail was on the longest. The question was of the three evicted, who stayed on the longest. That's why the answer was Joe. Hope that helps.
Posted by: JC at July 26, 2007 07:10 PM
Ousting Mike was dumb dumb dumb.. keeping Kail was even dumber!!
Posted by: genie at July 26, 2007 07:12 PM
Joe WAS the one riding the mushroom...Kail was the speaker.
Posted by: Faith34 at July 26, 2007 07:40 PM
I wish Kail had been evicted, but strategically, Mike was the better choice and here's why... Kail is easily rattled and Mike is as cool as a cucumber. There just wasn't any way to throw Mike off his game (whatever the hell that actually was...lol) but Kail... She's a liability, but only to herself. Everyone's got her number now. (I hope.) I mean, even Jen is pissed at her and all Jen is known for (in the house) is a vacant look, a stupid smile and lots & lots of skin.
Of course, Mike's declaration about his integrity and honesty and loyalty made me wonder what show did he think he was participating in?!? I HATE when a houseguest talks about never lying and keeping their word... The entire game is about deception...integrity (within the parameters of the GAME & not about life) really has no place in the Big Brother house...
Just my humble opinion(s.)
Posted by: NYCntryGirl at July 26, 2007 07:51 PM
I so wish Dustin would put up Dick... One can hope. It will probable be Kail and Zach because he feels that is the safest way to go not to make enemies.
Mike who? Oh yeah that lump on a stump in the house. I'm glad Kail got off. Hopefully she can see the back end of Dick heading out the door before she leaves... Then she can leave herself.
One thought now that Dick has made an ass out of himself. Would you keep him in to the final two with you to gurantee your self the win? The longer he stays the more hated I feel he would become. Of the remaining house guests any one of them could stand a better chance of winning against him than any of the others.
Posted by: DocF at July 26, 2007 07:55 PM
Hamster...can you PLEASE change the picture on the right where Kails ugly face is.... :(
Posted by: Shawna at July 26, 2007 07:57 PM
I love that Dustin is HOH. I think that he will put up Kail and Zach. Kail is a dangerous person to leave in the house. I hope the HG's don't regret their stategy. Dick needs to shift to less mouthy now and regain the confidence of the house. Amber is a weak player and will rely on Dustin to "save her!" Yuk! This week should be interesting. I was hoping for an immediate request for nominations. That would have been great!
Posted by: shebart at July 26, 2007 08:03 PM
One comment just popped into my head while listening to the feeds. Eric's got to be loving this little gossipy hen stuff with the second vote for Kail. I know I'm enjoying it.
Posted by: DocF at July 26, 2007 08:07 PM
is it too late for Janelle to be put in the house???? I hoping for Zach and Kail or Jen and Kail .
Posted by: Robin at July 26, 2007 08:30 PM
I think Eric played long enough to get out who he didn't want to be HOH, then threw the comp. Smart move, I agree, he would have a hard time explaining his nominations. I want NICK gone or whinning KAIL.
Posted by: Pam at July 26, 2007 08:32 PM
I don't know that I am to happy w/ Dustin winning HOH. I've kind of started changing my mind about him since his declaration last night that Kail is "putty in his hands".....he's got an agenda up his sleeves with that tidbit of info right there.
I truly hope he stays true to his word and puts up Zach and Nick...but we shall see. I truly hope that he doesn't go after ED. And what is with all the ED haters postings tonight??? Am I just losing my game play ....he had a great week as HOH, IMO...but I guess some people don't agree with his brutal honesty.
Leaving Kail in the game was a huge mistake IMO. She'll regroup, regain her strength and she'll have Dustin and Amber in an Alliance before the week is up, you sit back and watch.
Eric deliberately throwing the game tonight was a no brainer but did he have to make it so obvious? And why oh why did he get rid of Daniele instead of DUSTIN? I'm perplexed by that one.
I think this will definitely be a "shake up" week, for sure. Can't wait to watch it all unfold.
Posted by: KylainTx at July 26, 2007 08:56 PM
JC / Jim / Shawna: I thought like JC initially, that it was the HG "of the three who had been evicted," - but if that was the case, what was the "none" option for?
My prediction for nominations: Zach (almost a given) and Eric (say it isn't so). I don't think that Eric and Dustin have bonded at all. By eliminating Zach right off the bat in the competition, I believe Dustin made his intentions clear there. I don't think he'd nominate Kail, as he thinks he has Kail wrapped around his little finger. He might put up Jen or Dick. Don't think he'd risk making enemies of Nick or Daniele by putting either of them up. Amber is safe, unfortunately. He could nominate Jessica - since he took her out of the HOH competition, too. Jameka is safe. I really hope he loses the moustache.
Posted by: Coleen at July 26, 2007 09:04 PM
I'm only sad that Amber is definitely safe this week.
And now I like Jen (she's growing on me like a fungus) and she's going to end up being on the chopping block AGAIN along with Zach. That's my guess anyway!
I hate the elimination game. I just don't think it is a good HoH competition. (I sound whiney now...ugh).
Posted by: jenniferinflorida at July 26, 2007 09:57 PM
Did anyone else notice that Mike is the first evictee not to be given privledged information?
They told Joe about America's player and they showed Carol secret diary recordings from Jessica along with Jessica's comments to her 2 fellow "twist" players. But all Mike got were the regular taped good byes. Please tell me that this does not mean Mike goes into seclusion for an opportunity to return to the house.
Colleen, you were asking what the "none" option was about? If none of the evicted house guests are the correct answer. For instance, "which of the evicted house guests squirted mustard on Jen's shirt? - none.
I think Eric is starting to grow on me. Most of the America's player stuff has seemed to fizzel into nothing. He "sleep walks" into Joe's room to no commotion, he targets people hard out of no where, (remember his conversations with Jen when he wanted her to switch up her noms?), he has to vote the unpopular vote.
And no one even notices.
While none of the stuff has riled up the house very much it's still interesting to see Eric just slide to the side and come out untouched.

is it just me or is this season kinda boring? so far i really dont have anyone to call my fave. i am a wee bit disappointed.
Posted by: jude at July 27, 2007 07:03 AM
I was disappointed when I called home from work and found out that Mike was evicted. He was the only one that was showing the cojones to stand up to the bullying ways of Dick. I think Dick realized that and was why he went off on his power trip. Hopefully they will realize that they need to get rid of him early instead of later
Posted by: Devans at July 27, 2007 07:19 AM
Verity -
If that is what the "none" answer really means, then "none" should have been the correct answer for the final question: Who was the last one off the mushroom - since it would have been Kail? It couldn't have been "of the choices given (i.e. Joe, Carol, Mike)" if there was a "none" option, also.
AND like you, I definitely noticed that Mike wasn't told about Eric (as Joe had been) - or any other "secret" stuff. I'm thinking he'll be one of several guests that has the chance of returning. Could be interesting. If it's up to the houseguests and Kail is gone by then, I think he'd stand a good chance of coming back.
I have liked Eric from the start - but I'm also liking him more and more. He's a smart player. He knows his history. He has sound strategy. I really like that he's aligned himself with Jessica. Her voice aside, she's also got it together. And they could make a cute couple, too, but I don't think they'd be silly enough to start a show-mance. They had a long walk & talk last night that revealed a lot. I just hope that people keep this in mind when voting his choices. For example - if Jessica's on the block, it would be silly for America to vote for Eric to evict her.
I think that Dustin is in trouble. He has no known enemies right now. Everyone thinks that he's their friend. That's going to change for 2 or 3 people this week. Zach was working him last night and since Zach has no others with whom he's aligned, his promises might just save him from the block. I think Nick is going up. Jessica could be, too. Think Eric will be okay.
Posted by: Coleen at July 27, 2007 10:21 AM
I don't understand why there is such controversy over the HOH comp. None of the above is an answer if it applies. Kind of like when you take a multiple choice test, the answer is there or it's none of the above.
Who was the last one spinning on the mushroom,(of these choices) Joe, Carol, or Mike. None of the above doesn't apply. Since of the 3 choices, one of them was the answer.
None of the above did apply to another question in the game, however. The question was a quote that was never said. So the answer would be none of the above.
Posted by: JC at July 27, 2007 11:07 AM
I also found it curious that privilaged Info. (i.e., "Americas Player") was not revealed to Mike. Definately food for thought. I guess we can keep our eyes peeled for more of him in the future? Also, a poster above said Kail and Joe were 'Mushroom' partners, and she was the speaker ... not so. She was Erics partner, and she lasted the longest on the mushroom. But as it has been stated twice already, the answer for who lasted the longest was to make a choice from the evicted HG list. And that answer was Joe. Now on to Amber ... I am glad she is safe this week. I guess I must be her only fan, lol. But I will say that her delusions of grandeur (ex.: Mike is in love with me, Dick is in love with me, I am Americas Choice, I'm Americas Favorite) ... I guess it's a safe assumption that she hasn't any negative feelings about herself. She needs to cut all that out or I'm going to exit stage left ... And to the question, "about Nicks hair"? He wants to cut it off (a mohawk, I think), to build his new 'bad-ass Nick' persona. The Producers have told him he can do it after Monday, which is the start of their new week. He was pissed they wouldn't let him do it for Thursdays live broadcast, and they said because they do alot of mix & match editing, and it wouldn't fit in to the story line without an explanation. So, I'm sure we will hear more about 'bad-ass Nick' in the next day or two so that the new hair cut can be shown by next Thursday ... so, we'll see what happens.
Posted by: Cutefemmegirl at July 27, 2007 11:15 AM
BTW - I meant to post Dustins next Noms. I think it will be Kail/Zach ... with Zach being the one to go home. If Kail wins Veto, Dustin will give his word she is safe and she won't use it. If Zach wins Veto (ugh), then maybe Kail will have to go. I don't think they want Jen out yet ... and neither does CBS.
Posted by: Cutefemmegirl at July 27, 2007 11:21 AM
I thought it was curious as well that JC did not mention the America's Player twist to Mike, but I think a caller talked about it today with Mike on HouseCalls. So I don't think he will be a surprise returnee.
Posted by: CanFan at July 27, 2007 12:35 PM
Looks like Dustin's practicing how to explain his nominations: Kail and Jen.
Any idea why Jen is wearing an Alice in Wonderland card outfit?
Posted by: Coleen at July 27, 2007 02:44 PM
am i the only one that is bothered that 'nick is the kind of guy that makes nice guys look bad' according to daniele's BF? kris broke off an engagement to be with daniele. i know things happen in relationships...but i wouldn't exactly call that being a "good guy". maybe i am too involved in this...
