big brotherAround 3pm, Joshuah, Sharon, Chelsia and James are in the Head of Household (HoH) room talking about Alex and Amanda.  Chelsia tells Sharon and Joshuah that about an hour before the show, they need to make a deal with Alex and Amanda that if they vote to keep them Alex and Amanda can’t put Joshuah and Sharon on the block if they win HoH to save themselves.  Chelsia goes on to say that the four of them cannot go on the block next week.  As long as it’s just one couple out of the four of them, they should be OK.  Chelsia and James can fight to win the veto and if they lose, they still have Joshuah and Sharon’s vote.  Sharon questions the votes but Joshuah explains that there will be a tie vote next week and the HoH will break the tie and they can just “cut deals with HoH.”

Chelsia says HoH is huge this week.  They ask whom Allison will put up and she says Alex and Amanda if they are still around and Sheila and Adam as a pawn but she would really want Alex and Amanda gone. Chelsia says she thinks they really need to get rid off Matt and Natalie.  They think Natalie has a really ugly side and they will be gunning for Chelsia and James next week.

Exclusive Interview: Dick and Daniele Donato, WInner and Runner-Up of 'Big Brother 8'


DIck and Daniele Donato will go down as one of the most infamous pairs to ever grace the world of reality TV.  The Big Brother 8 champion (Dick) and runner-up (Daniele) made their share of enemies along the way with an aggressive style of play, but it all worked out in the end when the father/daughter duo found themselves alone in the Big Brother house, having vanquished 12 other houseguests.  Earlier today, on their first day of freedom in months, we were lucky enough to speak with Dick and Daniele to discuss their season of Big Brother domination.  The Donato haters of the world may not want to read much further, for the pair are as outspoken and brash here as they had been throughout the Big Brother season.

Tex's Take: BB8 Finale Thoughts

Daniele and Dick DonatoI'm not surprised that Dick won, or even the vote. After listening to them discuss the jury questioning, I pretty much figured out the winner. I was looking forward to this show only for the America's Player reveal and to see the jury. In that, I guess I was a little disappointed. They wasted 20 minutes on nothing, and the reveal felt rushed.

"Final Night"While Dick and Daniele carry on with their card game, they also continue with their favorite pastime of reminiscing and bashing the other evicted houseguests (HG). At some point, Daniele wonders what Jameka’s diary room (DR) session must have been like after she called Dick’s mother a b*tch. She seems to think that Jameka probably apologized and explained that she had gotten so worked up and lost all control of her mouth and her temper.

From there, Daniele launches into yet another of her whiny, self-absorbed complaints.

"The Donato Salon"A few minutes past 3pm, Daniele tells her dad that she wants her dinner (at three in the afternoon?). Dick, in turn, asks her to help him color his hair in 10 minutes. He assures her that it’s easy and they have more than enough supply of the hair dye. She wonders if he’d like to play checkers. Dick responds that she’s going to do his hair in five minutes and then he’ll play checkers with her later.

"Movie Night"At midnight, Daniele says “I’m here, let’s get this party started” as she emerges from a trip to the diary room (DR). One of the production guys (PG) can be heard apologizing for the choices (?) that are so bad, saying that it’s all they’ve got. Dick mumbles something inaudible and the PG responds that it’s not like he can just run down to Blockbuster. Daniele tells him sure, he can, to which, the PG says, “Well if I could leave..,” before feeds revert to trivia for the next three and a half hours.

When feeds resume around 4am, Dick and Daniele speculate that House Calls might take place on Wednesday and the wrap party on Thursday. Dick remarks that he got tired after the first movie (it seems that the Donatos may have been treated to a screening of something – perhaps a film or episodes of the Big Brother show – while the feeds were down).

Big Brother 8: Revisiting Preseason Predictions

About a week before the premiere of Big Brother 8, I wrote a two-part article entitled Big Brother 8: Totally Superficial Predictions.  In this article I predicted the order of eviction for all fourteen houseguests with only a picture and short bio for each person.  Needless to say, most of my predictions were off-base.  But, now that we're one day away from the Big Brother 8 finale, I thought it'd be fun to take a look back and see what my best and worst preseason predictions were.

"Fire in the House"Feeds revert to trivia shortly after midnight as the jury members take turns grilling Dick and Daniele. When feeds return a little after 1:30am, Daniele is in the bathroom while Dick is outside, smoking and saying, “I don't think I did anything wrong. It's not like I was campaigning to beat her. I didn't think I could win or make her happy with anything I did or said. Great! Something else for her to be pissed of at me about. Unbelievable. How did I not know she would be pissed off at me? No winning, no winning, it's always a catch-22 with Daniele."

After a while, Dick heads to the tall beds room to speak with his daughter. He apologizes to her and says that he didn’t mean to come off the way he did. She shouts that she can’t be her own person. It seems that most, if not all, the questions alluded to her flying under the radar and allowing her dad to do all the dirty work for her. She tells Dick that she didn’t appreciate him claiming that he has had the hardest game. She is completely annoyed and states that she is so over this house and simply wants to get out. On the verge of tears, Daniele goes to the bathroom to cry. When she returns to the bedroom, Dick says “I’m sorry Daniele” before going outside. Dick mutters that it’s going to be a long, f*cking couple of days.

"Facing the Empty Nest"Just before 11pm, Dick decides that his swollen feet and aching legs need a dip in the hot tub. Daniele has long been in bed, claiming she’s not feeling well. While soaking in the soothing water of the pool/tub, Dick looks into the camera and wonders, “Do you think I have a snowball’s chance in hell with Janelle? I sure hope so." Then he gives a shout-out to his son Vincent, saying, "I wonder who will win the game...one thing’s for sure, it will be a Donato! You hear that Vincent? If you're watching, I want you to know I love you and miss you. I can't wait to see you."

By 12:20am, both Dick and Daniele are snoozing in their respective beds. Four hours later, Dick is up and playing solitaire in the kitchen. By 4:45am, Daniele has also risen and followed the scent of bacon and eggs cooking in the kitchen. Twenty minutes later, father and daughter sit down to eat their very early breakfast. Dick inquires whether she woke up because she went to bed so early last night. Daniele grumpily responds “That and I don’t feel good. And you were loud.” Daniele is back asleep before 7am as Dick stays outside, smoking.

"Chef Dick"Just before five in the afternoon, Daniele heads to the backyard to join her father after her session in the diary room (DR). They start off, discussing what past houseguests (HG) from previous seasons may have thought of Jen. Dick believes they would have voted her out sooner than their group did. Daniele remarks that it would have been nice to have the Diamond Veto. Dick comments that this is the first year that Big Brother (BB) has failed to add something new. Daniele thinks it’s because there was too much drama in the house.

Dick tells Daniele that he invited (I presume for the wrap party) his mom, Vincent and a guy named Mike, who is the lead singer of the group, Suicidal Tendencies. He says he and Mike have become pretty good friends in the last two years. Daniele remains unimpressed so Dick adds that Vincent has met the guy but Daniele, in her usual bratty manner, snaps, "So what! I'm sorry but I'm not into them, I'm not just like you! Sorry we don't have anything in common. Ugh! I am so over this!"

"Empty Nest"At a quarter to 10 in the morning, a loud crash shatters the silence of sleep prevailing over the Big Brother (BB) house that has become somewhat of a ghost home with only the Donatos left in it. Seems like someone in the production crew may have fallen so Dick asks whether they are alright. The unexpected noise effectively rouses Dick from his sleep and he decides to give the game solitaire a whirl. The camera is practically glued to him despite his repeated admonitions for them to leave him alone. Dick realizes the crew must be really bored now that they’re stuck with nobody else but him.

Interestingly enough, the cameraman/men appear intent on assisting Dick with his card game, making distinct noises when they approve or disapprove of his moves. Dick decides to play along and follow their suggestions. Dick throws out the question of how mad his mother must be with him by now and the camera signals to answer yes. At some point, while still working on his solitaire game, Dick says "God I love my daughter. Always have, always will. If she's talking to me or if she isn't."

"BB8 Final Two"At a quarter past midnight, Daniele is busy collecting her dirty laundry from around the house. She and her dad head outside so she can wash them but she winds up complaining about the stinky dryer which has fouled up because they had dried their shoes in there after the endurance test yesterday, without washing them first. Dick is stressed as he feels the pressure of tomorrow’s question and answer contest. He starts reviewing the jury people and their jobs, educational backgrounds and other such pieces of trivia. Daniele does her best to drill him on various biographical questions.

Over an hour into their backyard session, the conversation shifts to a competition. Daniele remarks that she had a difficult time because she’s too short. She says that her fingers were hurting and that she went under six times but couldn’t get anything out. She adds that her goggles were constantly filling up with water. It seems that they’re talking about the second Head of Household (HoH) competition.

Tex's Take: BB8 Final Two Thoughts

Dick and DanieleBig Brother got its fairy tale ending. The tale began with Dick revealing that Daniele's favorite fairy tale was “Alice in Wonderland” and that she played Alice. And it's ending with CBS darlings, Dick and Daniele, in the final two of Big Brother 8.

In the middle, we have CBS pretending that they hadn't spoken in two years, but MySpace entries and accidental comments revealed that to be a lie. There's Daniele talking about dinner with Allison and the feeds going to the blue rabbit hole. Then the people in the Diary Room were giving the two of them information not given to the other houseguests, and Julie Chen went on a late night talk show this week talking up and praising the Donatos.

Tex's Take: BB8 Final Week, Head of Household Competition Part 2 Spoilers

Big Brother 8One of the reasons that I'd never go on a show like Big Brother is because of the lack of outside stimulation. I'm very dependent on my newspaper, television, Internet, novels, etc. Trying to watch the feeds the past couple of days has reinforced my feelings. The three remaining houseguests were given a deck of cards, woo hoo! Dick and Daniele have been monopolizing the cards playing War, a two person game. Zach has asked to play another game, but was rebuffed. With Dick and Daniele virtually ignoring him, Zach has been bored to tears. I've never seen him sleep or lay around in his bed like I have lately. I'm sure a psychiatrist would have a field day with that.

I mean, really, it would have been hard with a house full of this season's houseguests to have a stimulating conversation, but with two people that have been bashing you within earshot .... forget about it. Yes, Zach broke their deal and put them up. Dick and Daniele were thinking of doing the exact same thing to him, but he just beat them to it. And didn't they break their alliance with Eric and Jessica not even two weeks before? I guess it's different if they do it.

"Thoughtful Zach"At 2pm, feeds come back from trivia and find all three houseguests (HG) suddenly up. It seems likely that Big Brother (BB) must have given them their wake-up call for the day. Zach is dressing up in the bedroom while Dick and Daniele are in the bathroom. Daniele asks him if he’s ready for the second Head of Household (HoH) contest. Dick tells her he’s ready as he’ll ever be considering that his right shoulder is practically non-existent. Nevertheless, he tells her that a handful of Advil and Excedrin along with a slather of Ben-Gay will take him a long way.

By 7pm, feeds revert to trivia and remain that way for the next hour and a half. When feeds resume, we see Dick commenting on a hard competition. Daniele is on a bed while her dad tells her not be too hard on herself and that it’s going to be both of them in the final two. He reminds her that they always come through for each other.

"The Embrace"As soon as Dick releases his key, he crumples to the floor even as Zach continues to stand solidly on his stump. Daniele proceeds to cover her dad with towels before handing one to Zach, who is now helping her wrap Dick up. Zach tells Dick his effort was incredible.

Shortly before 3am, Daniele makes some soup and grilled cheese sandwiches for the two tired men. Both are still trying to get dried and warmed up after their grueling ordeal. Zach has sat down in the living room to eat what Daniele has made while she tries to get her dad to do the same. Dick would rather go outside but Daniele tells him no. Daniele gives him a big hug and tells him that he did really well. She remarks that she doesn’t know what happened to her, buckling down so soon into the test. She says it doesn’t matter anyway because she knows she would not have lasted as long as Dick and Zach did.

His breathing is now labored as he alternates between standing still and marching with big, high steps on the stump. Across from him, Zach remains still, steady, stoic and silent.

Daniele again throws encouragement to her father, who is really trying to hold his own against a much younger and physically stronger competitor. Daniele tells Dick that he has been up there for over FIVE hours. Zach quietly hangs on, regularly glancing Dick’s way to check on him.

"Fading Dick"At 10:30pm, while Dick and Zach are still hanging on to their keys and standing atop their podiums, Daniele apologizes to Dick, who tells her not to be sorry. Dick remarks that it’s bullsh*t that that thing had to slow down just as she was preparing to jump over it (he must be referring to the recurring rabbit). Then he tells her not to look because he’s going to take a piss and pee down his leg. Thankfully, Big Brother (BB) brings the rain back on to wash away Dick’s urine.

Daniele is seated outside, wrapped in a blanket and sipping from a cup. Zach continues to stand statue-like. The bunny has ceased going around and appears to finally be dead. Dick resumes his anti-Zach monologue. This time, Zach lashes back at him and pokes fun at Dick’s spider woman tattoo. They go at it for a little while until the feeds go down.

"The 1st HoH Endurance Comp"When feeds resume a little after half past 7pm, we get a really good, if not slightly horrifying view of what the last three houseguests (HGs) have to undergo for the first of the Head of Household (HoH) endurance tests. Each HG is perched on a stump, holding on to their key, which is suspended above them. As they try to maintain their grip on the key and their balance on the podium, they are also drenched in a downpour of heavy rain. As if that wasn’t bad enough, a mechanical rabbit emerges regularly to pass them and they must hop over it and land back on their perches.

Daniele is already whimpering and shivering from the cold. A few minutes shy of 8pm, Dick takes off his shoes and goes at it barefoot. Zach appears to be stoically solid and focused. The bunny seems to be picking up speed and the rain looks to be heavier now with additional lightning sounds for effect.

Big Brother 8: Breaking Down the Final Jury Vote Possibilities

Big Brother 8 is down to the final three.  Dick, Daniele and Zach are currently in the midst of a three-part final Head of Household competition that will ultimately decide who makes it to the final two.  The uncertainty of who the final two will be is simpler than it has been in previous seasons because of the father/daughter alliance of Dick and Daniele.  If either of the Donatos win the HoH, they will take the other to the final vote.  If Zach wins the HoH, everyone assumes that he'll take Dick with him to the final vote, but I don't think that's a foregone conclusion.  I wouldn't put it past Zach to bring Daniele into the finals, if only to avoid a few days of verbal lashings from Dick.  It's also quite possible that Zach will figure that the Donatos are interchangeable in terms of final jury votes.  With all this mind, let's take a look at who would win the jury vote in each of the three possible final two combinations.

Tex's Take: BB8 - Final Week Preview and Head of Household Part 1 Spoiler

Big Brother 8If this week is anything like last week in the Big Brother house, the feeds will be deadly dull. The Donatos are mad at Zach and for the most part are treating him like crap. Zach had been hiding in the Head of Household room, but that won't be available to him this week. He'll probably sleep in the big room, since it's empty right now. I'm rather surprised that Big Brother didn't shut down at least one of the rooms once the house got emptier.

I can take only so much of Dick gloating or bashing. At least last week, we got a break when Jameka was around. They were so nice to her trying to curry her favor. I guess they are hopeful that she will get to the jury house and tell them that Dick is not as bad as everyone thinks. I don't think she bought it, but I'm sure she was glad that it was at least moderately pleasant for her before she left.

"Pouty Zach"At 4:20am, Dick is up and so is Daniele. They are in the kitchen where Dick gets a drink from the refrigerator and is assaulted by an overwhelmingly foul smell. He announces that it’s from his tuna sandwich. He adds that his farts have gotten so bad from all the tuna he’s eaten that they managed to rouse Jameka up all the way in the tall beds room. He tells Daniele that when he got up, Jameka was awake and had been to the diary room (DR) to ask for a medic for him because his farts are so strong.

Dick and Daniele spend the next two to three hours playing War with the deck of cards Big Brother (BB) finally gave them after promising to provide the bored houseguests (HG) a while back. They also talk about production stuff which brings the feeds down to trivia. Then they talk about life outside the BB house and people they know, which again results in trivia. Then they engage in some perfunctory Jen bashing until finally, everyone is fast asleep at 7:30am.

They figure, what can the production people do anyway even if they wear them over their clothes at the last minute.

Everyone appears to be asleep at a quarter past two in the morning. An hour later, Daniele is up and concocting something that involves a good amount of chocolate in the kitchen. She then spends the next hour and 15 minutes napping, lounging, picking at her hair and then her face while waiting for her cookie to bake. When it is finally done at 4:30am, Daniele covers it, puts it away and returns to bed.

Daniele asks her what time it is and Jameka responds that she has no clue. Daniele follows suit and gets up herself. Zach wakes up at 1:30pm and proceeds outdoors. He greets Daniele good morning but Daniele simply ignores him.

By 2pm, Dick is still slumbering, Daniele is tanning and Jameka and Zach are working out in the gym. Zach is on the treadmill while Jameka is using the elliptical. Half an hour later, a noise starts getting louder in the fitness room until Jameka breaks the elliptical. Zach laughs and Jameka remarks that she’s killed it. Zach says it’s the most hilarious thing he’s ever seen.

"Triumphant Daniele"When feeds resume around 4:30pm, Dick is hollering in his round beds room, screaming YES! Jameka asks Daniele in the kitchen how it feels, but Daniele declines to talk about it with her, saying she’ll (Jameka) only feel bad. She proceeds to her dad’s room where they enthusiastically tell each other that Vincent and Nick must be so happy right now. Dick even goes as far as to say that they have won the money and the game. From all accounts, it appears Daniele has won the Power of Veto (PoV).

Up in the Head of Household (HoH) room, Zach tells Jameka that they are now up against some pretty tough odds. Jameka informs him that she will not give Dick her vote in the end. She adds that although Daniele has ruled the competitions, her dad has done all the dirty work for her.

"Rocker Dick"Zach emerges from his Head of Household (HoH) hidey hole a little after 10am and goes downstairs to tell Jameka that he has a few questions and would like to speak with her upstairs. Jameka replies that she will follow in a few minutes. In the bathroom, Dick asks Daniele where the “pervert panty muncher” (referring to Zach, also known as the ogre or Shrek) is. Daniele tells him he is hiding in his HoH domain. Dick confides that he was told in the diary room (DR) not to use the “N” racist word when he attacks Zach. Earlier, Dick had mentioned on camera that he plans on calling Zach out as a racist, using statement/s he claims Zach has previously made to support his name-calling. He had also warned the camera folks not to keep following him around or the feeds will be riddled with the racist comment accusation thing.

At a quarter to 11am, Dick tells Daniele that he will ask Jameka how it feels to be conspiring with a racist. He’ll tell her that that’s mighty white of her. Daniele snickers at her father’s plan. Dick seems rather worked up and reminds Daniele to bring her gloves out to ensure that she doesn’t forget them for the Power of Veto (PoV) competition. She assures him she won’t.

"Arts & Crafts"Feeds resume around 5:45pm with Dick, Jameka and Daniele in the kitchen. Dick says it’s a load of bullsh*t and that they should have kept Amber. Jameka walks out on them. Dick goes on to say that Zach is living in a dream world if he thinks that he and Jameka will make the final two. He adds that it’s bullsh*t for Zach to claim that he wants to build a personal relationship with Jameka. Daniele remarks that it’s becoming funnier and funnier each time they get nominated. Apparently, Zach stated in his nomination speech that Dick and Daniele have dominated the game so far and now it is time for someone else to get a chance.

Around 7:30pm, Zach comes down from the Head of Household (HoH) room to eat some cereal in the kitchen. Dick tells him that putting him and Daniele up was a good strategic move for him but says that the bullshi*t he incorporated in his speech was ridiculous. Zach defends his statements by saying they were true.

"The Donatos"Around half past 10am, Dick and Zach are awake and Dick asks Zach to please not put him up on the block against Daniele. Zach responds that it doesn’t matter. Dick points out that it does because of whoever wins the Power of Veto (PoV). Zach sees his point.

The dining table has been changed to a much smaller one now with only four chairs. At noon, while her dad is making the broccoli omelet she asked for, Daniele pays Zach a visit in his Head of Household (HoH) room. Straight up, she asks him whether he’s putting her on the block against her dad. Zach tells her he doesn’t know yet but admits that it’s a possibility.

"Zach Deals With Jameka"Shortly after midnight, Zach goes over his letter again while having a beer. He looks at the camera and says if the internet people are watching, he has won the Head of Household (HoH) and promises to do them proud. He mentions that his dad told him in the letter that he should finish with honor. Zach assures him that he will. He adds that there is no such thing as luck.

At half past 12am, Zach tells Daniele in the kitchen that he’s amazed at all the people who are pulling for him. He narrates how lost relatives and friends have been getting in touch with his folks to show their support for him. People from Creighton and Florida State are also rooting for him. Daniele shows little patience or interest in his popularity tales.

"King Zach"At 9pm, the live feeds return after SEVEN HOURS of trivia. Zach is wearing a crown while he and Dick commend Daniele for a job well done. Big Brother (BB) announces an indoor lockdown.

A bit later, Daniele is in the small beds room looking anxious and sullen. Dick comes in and remarks that it could not have been any closer. He tells her that he’s proud of her. Daniele is in tears, complaining that it sucks because she will wind up going home if Jameka wins the veto. She keeps saying that it sucks because she knew all the answers only to lose on that one stupid question.

"Jessica Cleaning Toilet"Shortly after midnight, Dick tells Daniele that he’s going to come up to Jameka at the very last minute to ask for her answer to the deal he has offered. He and Daniele ponder the time they usually get called in to the set for the live show. They note that last week, they were asked to sit on the couches mere minutes before 5pm. Dick figures he should take Jameka aside some time around 4:35 and 4:40. He wants to do it at the latest possible time so Jameka won’t have the chance to confer with Jessica.

Around 1am, Jessica is in bed in the tall beds room while Eric is lying down beneath the archway of the door dividing the tall beds room from the small beds one. Eric is making feeble strategy talk as Jessica gets increasingly annoyed. Elsewhere, Zach is sound asleep in the Head of Household (HoH) room. Jameka is headed for her room after a brief visit with Jessica.

"Foot in Mouth Eric"At a quarter to 2pm, Big Brother (BB) enforces an indoor lockdown. Sometime between 2:30pm and 3:30pm, Zach goes around taking his Head of Household (HoH) pics with the other houeguests (HG). Dick poses with the HoH crown that Dustin wore and Zach barks “Silence” in much the same way Dustin did. When Zach reviews the photos they’ve taken, he comments that he and Dick look like they have to take a sh*t in one of them. He also notices one of Eric where Eric doesn’t’ even resemble himself because he looks like a monkey.

Zach photographs Dick standing behind a table that’s been tilted on its side, with the words “I heart Janelle” painted on it. Then, Eric sits at the table next to the message and puts his foot in his mouth for Zach to capture.

"Devil Dick"At half past midnight, Jessica, Eric and Jameka are in the backyard comparing butt crack heights. According to Jameka, Tyra Banks says there are two types of cracks. Those who possess a low crack have the license to wear low-rider and hip-hugger jeans but those with high cracks should not.

Half an hour later, the conversation turns to the subject of Eric’s pants. Jessica instructs him to pull them lower but Eric is unsure whether that’s such a good idea.

"Jameka" Around 5pm, fresh from a visit to the diary room (DR), Daniele goes to wake her father up. She tells him about the slip she made during an earlier conversation with Jessica. Daniele had inadvertently mentioned that only three of them will be fighting for the Head of Household (HoH) this week. She also relays Eric’s “personal level” inquiry regarding Jessica’s fate. Daniele brings up how Jameka is getting on her nerves. Daniele tells her dad, “You should have seen her after you talked to her, throwing and slamming stuff around." Dick in turn tells her about Jessica wondering who she wants sleeping in her room next week. Dick points out that Jessica’s comment brought Jameka to tears.

After her conversation with Dick, Daniele goes to the HoH to pay Zach a visit. Zach remarks that Jameka has been a brat and a pain in his butt. Zach also points out that Jessica is an immature “Lil Ray of Sunshine.”

Shortly after midnight, Dick launches into his early morning clean-up, exclaiming “Zach, you f**king jerk dildo” after seeing something in the sink. He proceeds to clean the dishes and tidy up the kitchen. Once he’s done with that, Dick goes on to do some laundry.

"Jessica Packing"At half past noon, Dick asks Jameka for a few minutes of her time so they could talk outside. Right up front he tells her that he and Daniele have decided to send her to the jury house. He mentions that they have also chosen to give her ample warning and tell her ahead of time. He explains that someone has to go this week and cites that she’s in good terms with both the jury people and the remaining houseguests (HG). Dick concludes that it is in his and Daniele’s best interest not to keep her around.

Jameka thanks him for the heads up and tells him that she appreciates it. She adds that whatever reasons he and Daniele have is fine because she understands that it’s all part of the game.

Just before 10am, Big Brother (BB) announces to the houseguests (HG) that it is time to wake up. A few minutes later, Zach emerges outside and promptly jumps into the pool.

"Duck, Here Come the Synchronized Snot Rockets"At half past one in the morning, Eric emerges from the diary room (DR) and it soon becomes evident that America has tasked him to imitate Dick. He pretends to smoke like Dick by holding an unlit cigarette. He also laughs like Dick and repeats every word Dick utters. Eric warns Dick to expect more of this, saying he’s getting back at him for the times Dick covered him with flour and threw cold water on him in the shower. Jessica is puzzled. She finds it weird that Eric has chosen to do this now and wonders what could have prompted him.

Sometime around 2am, Jameka asks Dick what he does when he feels compelled to spit while he’s at work. Dick says he goes outside. Jameka remarks that he must go outside a lot. Dick says no. Jameka points out that Dick just spit four to five time in the last minute. Dick explains that he just had yogurt. Jameka mumbles, “Oh.”

At 3:30pm, Eric and Jessica are in the backyard pondering what they can do to make Zach, Dick and Daniele keep Jessica around. Nearly an hour later, Zach and the Donatos are in the Head of Household (HoH) room while Jameka sits just outside. Dick says he wants to go out there and smack her on the head with the chessboard.

"Dick Styles Topiary"At a quarter to 8am, everyone in the Big Brother (BB) house is asleep except for Dick, who has taken to dressing up one of the human/animal-like topiaries. It now sports a bikini/toga something, yellow sunglasses, flowers and the all-important raised middle finger. Content with his styling, Dick heads to the kitchen to straighten up a bit. He picks up a couple of pans and says a brief homage to that morning when he woke Dustin up by banging and clanging some of them. After brief stops in the bathroom and the diary room (DR), Dick goes outside to the backyard to belch and tell a hummingbird that there is no nectar in the plastic flowers.

An obviously un-sleepy Dick uses his awake time productively by folding laundry, putting his clothes away and loading some sheets in the washer. By 8:30am, he embarks on a furious cleaning of the outdoor grill. He keeps at it for over 10 minutes. Then he returns to the couch to smoke and announce to the empty space, “G**damn it, I want Jameka gone!” After a bit, he returns to the grill and proceeds to take out the stress and frustration by attacking it violently with the wire brush.

"Batty Visit"By midnight, Dick and Zach have abandoned Eric, Jessica and Jameka who are still playing the rule game and painting themselves. The two are now engaged in more pressing game talk, with Dick stating that he wants to strike a last minute deal with Jameka on Thursday. He plans on getting her to swear on her Bible that she will use the Power of Veto (PoV) on Dick or Daniele if they go up next week. If Jameka does this, Dick will help guarantee that she stays in the game. A bit later, Eric asks Dick if he thinks that his Big Brother (BB) moniker ED (for Evil Dick) would earn him a lucrative contract as endorser for commercials concerning erectile dysfunction. Dick certainly hopes not.

Shortly before 1am, Eric starts peeling off the pink latex bikini Jessica painted on him. He discovers that pulling the dry paint off tugs painfully at the hairs on his body. Jessica enjoys assisting him until Eric starts saying his nipple is bleeding. Jessica and Jameka initially think he’s jesting until they see that it’s true. They bring out the vegetable oil to facilitate a more painless removal.

At 2pm, Zach is swimming in the pool as all the other houseguests (HG) remain asleep. Dick joins him in the backyard half an hour later and they go over their choices of who to send home this week. They agree that if they evict Jessica now, they have no other recourse but to get rid of Eric next. Dick remarks that that would put them in the final four with Daniele and Jameka. Dick asks Zach whether he’d be afraid of Jameka. Zach replies yes but in a physical contest, states that he wouldn’t. Zach admits that the more he ponders things, the clearer it seems to him that Jessica should be the one to leave this week. Dick feels that Jessica and Jameka are the biggest threats in the game. Zach declares that he can’t have Jameka in the competition. Dick stresses that he prefers to eliminate Eric next week because if the three of them together c
