Jessica emerged victorious in the HOH competition on Big Brother 8 Episode 16, which means there are about 2-3 people who will be surprised if the nominations are Dick and Danielle, but there’s still plenty of room for fireworks and drama.
Dick is upset about being lied to and tells Eric he doesn’t deserve to be here (as if lying is something new in this game). The LNC goes nuts over Jessica’s HOH win, reminiscent of season 6. There are no secrets any more how this house is divided. For a change, instead of just listening to what Dick says and taking it, everybody gets up in his face. And it’s another argument about religion between Jameka and Dick… because that won’t piss anybody off.
Dick plans to sacrifice himself for Danielle if they’re both nominated. He says he will do whatever it takes to make them hate him so bad they won’t be able to stand him for one more minute. Apparently that would be a change. At some point we go from entertaining and lots of drama to just uncomfortable to watch. Tonight’s theme seems to be religious wars.
Danielle, who turned on her alliance last week, attempts get Jen on her side. Unlike the alliance with Dick, which was most likely equally fake on both parts, this one may actually work. They don’t exactly trust each other but don’t completely hate each other either. Jen’s still just a big floater, but it doesn’t hurt to have people at least not hate her.
The food competition had to do with smashing guitars. Looks like a lot of fun and a great way to relieve the tension that’s been building up in the house. Dick, Danielle, Jen, and Eric lose and are on slop, but Dick wins a slop pass. Dick tries to give it to Danielle, but she tells him to give it to Jen instead, which is a great strategic move.
America wants Eric to get Dustin nominated. Great. Trying to screw him over again, and this time he lets us know. Now it’s Dustin’s turn to start with the bashing. Alcohol never works out well in the BB house. It does, however, open the door for Dustin to say he wants to go up as a pawn, which gives Eric an opportunity to at least make a weak effort in pleading for a Dustin nomination.
So we don’t forget he’s in the house, we get to see some footage of Zach in a bunny suit.
It’s nomination time.
Jameka-Safe
Jen-Safe
Eric-Safe
Amber-Safe
Zach-Safe
Dustin-Safe
Danielle and Dick have been nominated for eviction. Wow. Shocker. Jessica wants Danielle out rather than Dick because Danielle’s a stronger player, but Dick wants no part of that.
This week’s America’s Choice question: Who should Eric give the silent treatment to this week? Yikes, another heavily loaded question.
