Big Brother 8 Episode 13

It’s eviction Thursday in the Big Brother 8 house. Who will go? Nick or Kail? Welcome to another live blog.

Nick and Kail are both surprised by Nick’s nomination. Dustin acknowledges it was a house decision. Dustin at this point appears to be telling Kail the truth: that Nick is the actual target (and Kail appears to be able to slip past yet another week). Dick’s unhappy with the decision. Amber breaks out the fake tears for Nick. Okay, so they may be real tears but for a different reason than she’s telling Nick. Not that anybody’s surprised either way. Danielle obviously wants to save him, which somehow leads to him getting mad at her (he says he’s upset that she didn’t tell him everyone thinks he voted for Kail last week).

Dick lays into Jen about the POV. Again. He compares her to Saddam Hussein, and she reacts by smiling at him. Then it’s Danielle’s turn to fight with Jen, which ends when Dick dumps a pitcher of iced tea on her, and Nick, who claims he doesn’t care about being nominated, has to get in his two cents as well. On a sidenote, Nick shaved his head into a mohawk. Julie tries to pretend it looks good.

Nick looks like a sitting duck, and then America comes into play. America, which seemed to love Kail initially, has now turned on her and wants to see her evicted from the house. Eric tries his best to see that it happens. Is it actually possible to sway the votes, or is this just a big fakeout as usual?

In his HOH interview, Dustin tells Julie he has some regrets about taking the money and the trip but ultimately is pleased with the decision. He also says that intimidating people is Dick’s strategy.

And the votes are in…
Jen: Nick
Zach: Kail
Jameka: Nick
Eric: Kail (I’m assuming he was the other vote for Kail, though CBS cut the audio feed while three of them were speaking)
Jessica: Nick
Amber: Nick
Dick: Nick
Danielle: Nick

By a vote of 6-2, Nick is evicted from the Big Brother house.

Nick will allow Danielle to decide whether she wants to be involved with him after getting out of the house. He believes Jen is the other vote for Kail, and Eric reveals that it was actually him as America’s player.

As they walk out into the backyard, it appears they actually put some thought and time into this HOH competition. Yes, it’s endurance time. Everyone has to get onto a clock-like aparatus with one leg on each side of a pole, which swings back and forth. After the break, everyone is informed they must hang upside down, and vulture droppings begin coming down. Unlikely this will last very long.

Want to know who wins HOH? Find out after the jump.

Warning: HOH spoilers ahead. 

For some reason, the feeds were down for over an hour after the show ended on the east coast. When we returned to the competition, the final remaining housemates were Jen, Kail, Jessica, and Danielle.

Of the four, Jessica was the first to fall. I doubt anybody’s going to nominate her anyway. However, if any of the other three fall, there’s a pretty good chance they will be nominated. If Danielle wins, Jen and Kail will be nominated (again). If either of the other two win, Danielle and Dick will probably be nominated (again).

Jen has fallen off. It’s now down to Kail and Danielle. Within minutes, Kail gets Danielle to agree that she won’t send her home (which means what exactly?). Dumb move (remember Kaysar and Jen?), but she may have been close to dropping and figured she’d at least try. Danielle wins HOH. Who’s up for a third straight nomination of Jen and Kail, with neither of them going home?
