In typical Big Brother fashion, the balance of power shifted on Big Brother 8 Episode 19, and the side that was in danger the week before somehow won HOH. Now that Danielle’s in power, will we see something unpredictable happen, or will the nominations be pretty much as expected (again)?
The show starts off with Amber crying and crying some more… and then crying some more. Eric suffers even more fallout because of what America makes him do, yet somehow he still seems to be in a pretty good position.
Danielle gets no pictures of her boyfriend and a letter from Nick. No need to draw any conclusions here, as they’ve already been arrived at weeks ago.
A montage of all the words Amber doesn’t know. Scary. Eric then attempts to smooth things over with her, which probably isn’t necessary but couldn’t hurt. She acts tough in the diary room but eventually does figure out with Jameka that they’ve been sold down the river.
After watching the contestants play beer pong for a couple weeks (and Eric dress up in Jessica’s clothing), the food competition is a combination of beer pong and a toga party. (Yeah, these competitions are really planned out months in advance. We believe it. Honest.) In a close game, Amber, Jameka, Jen, and Danielle end up on slop.
America wants Eric to get Amber nominated for eviction. An easy task that thanks to Thursday is now in line with his gameplan. Dick seems to be really grateful to Eric for giving him a second chance in the game, but Danielle’s not so sure because she doesn’t trust him any more than she trusts anyone else (except her dad) in the house, which is not at all.
His next task is to give his childhood woobie to one of the houseguests. The logical choice here is Jess, but I don’t see how any answer could actually turn out bad for him.
Nominations for HOH:
Jessica-Safe
Jen-Safe
Dick-Safe
Zach-Safe
Eric-Safe
In yet another way too obvious nomination ceremony, Amber and Jameka are nominated for eviction. Amber believes she’s being nominated because everybody likes her, and Danielle wisely plays on that and tells both of them they have too many friends. At the end of the day, though, Danielle is actually targetting Jen and hoping that this time a backdoor doesn’t completely blow up in her face like it did with Eric. Will the nominations stick, or will someone get off the block and be replaced by Jen?
