Since the Big Brother house is under surveillance 24 hours a day, it allows us to know quite a bit of what’s going on before the show airs. Some people would rather not spoil the suspense. If you’re impatient (like me), though, you may be interested in knowing.

I have created a new page on this site in which I will post the major spoilers as they happen. This will primarily include: nominees, veto winner, and replacement nominee (if applicable).

If you don’t mind being spoiled, head on over to the Big Brother 8 Spoilers page.

TMZ reports that lawyers for Endemol, the production company behind Big Brother, have sent a cease and desist letter to the pilot who has been flying banners over the house for years.

This development happened after it was learned that a banner was going to be flown that spoiled the twist that Eric is America’s player. It also follows on the heels of episode 14 last night, which pointed the finger at Eric as being the one who’s been screwing with the vote all along, though it ironically may just backfire and harm those who it was intended to help.

Pilot Jerry Hider told TMZ, “If I had a bunch of attorneys I would fight this, but it’s not worth my time.”

When we left the houseguests in BB8 Episode 13, they were hanging upside down fighting for HOH. Those of you who read the spoilers in that post already know the results of the competition, but tonight we get to watch it play out and see who gets nominated. Dustin is of the belief that it’s 6 against 3. We’ll see how long that lasts.

Amber is first out at 6 minutes.
Eric is disqualified at 9 minutes for going too high.
Jameka is eliminated next.

Generally, they force everyone inside when banners fly over the house because it had such a big influence over the game in season 1. However, since it flew over with perfect timing during an endurance competition, the entire house got to see this one: “We love Nick. Amber & Eric are Liars. LNC is the nerd herd.”

Zach falls at 32 minutes.
Dick is next out at 44 minutes.
Jessica is out at 59 minutes.

Around that time, the gloves come off. Dick starts (again) with the personal attacks on Kail and Jen. Jen then starts about Danielle’s relationship with Nick. Eric for some reason jumps into the battle and begins yelling at Jen, an odd move for someone who’s been pretty much safe and in the middle most of the time.

Jen falls at 1 hour 31 minutes.
Kail makes a deal with Danielle that she’ll be safe, even if she puts her up. As if Danielle controls the vote (she can’t vote, and her father probably won’t even listen to her, let alone anyone else). Kail drops at 1 hour 36 minutes. Danielle is the new HOH.

Danielle believes the second vote to keep Nick was to set her up. America voting on the basis of popularity is wreaking havoc on the house, but at least it’s keeping things interesting. She realizes based on the banner that Eric was responsible for that vote.

Dick and Danielle decide to confide in Jessica because they don’t really have anyone else to count on, telling her Eric’s in an alliance with Jen and Kail. This again? I was impressed they figured the first part out, but then they come up with the theory Jen’s in yet another alliance. Jessica, who’s been getting closer to Eric lately, brings this information to him.

America wants to see Jen get nominated, giving Eric yet another simple task to complete, but perhaps not as simple as last week. While Eric’s pitching the scenario, Dick blows up at him because he knows the voting is screwy.

At the nomination ceremony:
Dustin is safe.
Eric is safe.
Jameka is safe.
Amber is safe.
Dick is safe.
Jessica is safe.
Zach is safe.

Jen and Kail have been nominated. For the third time in a row. Surely a surprise to at least three people. It appears, however, that the actual plan may be to backdoor Eric. Who do you think will go home? Jen, Kail, or neither again?

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live blog of Big Brother 8 episode 15, which airs Tuesday at 9/8c on CBS.

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.
