Previously on Big Brother 8, Jen and Kail were nominated for eviction. Then Jen and Kail were nominated for eviction. Then Jen and Kail were nominated for eviction. Again. Will one of them finally go home? Will one of them get off the block because of the veto? Again? And will I finally wake up from this recurring nightmare? Stick around for another live blog.
Jen finds her nomination hilarious. Definitely taking it better this time than last.
Dick and Danielle want Eric gone, turning on the original alliance, since they know Eric’s lying about the votes. The problem now is securing the votes. Jessica plans on playing along. Dick will obviously go along, Jen is unlikely to vote against Kail, and Zach’s a wildcard who may remain loyal to Nick, despite disliking Kail. The four others seem to be remaining strong together, though.
Time to pick for veto:
Danielle picks Zach at random.
Jen picks Dustin at random.
Kail picks Jameka (houseguest’s choice).
Amber is the host.
It’s a bidding game. The houseguests have to bid highest on various tasks of sacrifice.
First up: bunny suits. Dustin is eliminated with a bid of 100 hours. Jen, Kail, Zach, and Danielle will wear bunny suits for 120 hours.
Second: manure will be dumped on the houseguest who bids highest. Everyone offers to have it dumped on them every hour for 24 hours.
Third: $10,000 cash. Because this didn’t cause any problems last time. The high bidder will be eliminated but will get what they write. Everybody bids 0.
Fourth: how many hours are you willing to live on slop over the next 30 days? Jen and Kail go the max: 720 hours. Zach is eliminated by putting the lowest amount, 250.
Fifth: how many HOH competitions are you willing to not participate in out of the next 5? Massive risk here, but then again, winning HOH generally isn’t that good anyway. Kail and Jameka put 5. Danielle puts 3 and is eliminated with the lowest bid. She attempted to change her answer to 4 at the last minute but was told it’s too late.
Sixth: how much of the grand prize are you willing to give away, up to $250,000? Jen goes the max amount and wins POV, allowing her to pull herself off the block for the third week in a row. The cost to her: $250k if she wins, slop for 30 days, bunny suit for 5 days, and manure on her head once an hour.
Jen, despite being on the outside, has also heard the rumors that Eric will be nominated. Dick hatches a plan to apologize to Jen and attempt to get her on his side. The most insane alliance ever. Neither of them trust each other, but they may need each other. After Jen has a discussion with Jessica, who may be a key swing vote, Jessica begins to wonder whether Eric’s playing her. At the same time, Eric’s closer to her than anyone in the house.
America gets involved again but gives Eric a task that won’t screw him over this time. His assignment is to convince Jessica he wants to take her to the final two, which is easy because it’s true.
Jen uses the veto to save herself. Danielle replaces her with Eric.
Since Eric has been nominated, the vote this week for America’s Player is: Which houseguest should Eric flatter incessantly in order to ensure his safety in the house?
Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live blog of Big Brother 8 episode 16, which airs Thursday at 8/7c on CBS.
The other day my sister asked me why men named Dick usually are ones. Dick on BB8 certainly falls into that category. Man, the way he went off on Eric. I couldn’t help but laugh since Eric’s really just doing what America tells him to. I wonder how Dick will react when he finds out the truth about America’s Player…
I give Dick credit for figuring out what he did figure out, but he’s just blown it so far out of proportion from there and is now beginning to imagine random scenarios.
