Random Reality: Big Brother 8 – Episode 14

Shows

Nick was the fourth person evicted from the house on Thursday. We go straight to the end of the HOH competition that got started on Thursday. It’s the Late Night Crew of Dick, Daniele, Jessica, Eric, Amber, and Jameka vs. Jen, Kail, and Zach. Dustin likes their changes. They have to hang like bats on this swinging machine. Amber is out first after 6 minutes. She doesn’t cry, though. Eric gets a DQ on purpose after 9 minutes. He was getting sick. Jameka is the next one out at 10 minutes.

We get a flashback with Nick telling Daniele that it will be hard leaving her the most. Daniele believes Nick. She is mad that Nick is gone for whatever reason. She says her boyfriend will be happy, though. Kail gloats about still being here. Amber cries, of course. Dick says he could have made the worst move in sending Nick home, for him and his daughter in the game, or it could be the best since Nick is no longer a threat to Daniele’s personal life. Eric is not sad that Nick went home. Eric says he is doing what Nick wanted to do and there is not room for two people like that in the house.

Back to the HOH competition. A odd thing happens here. A plane flies over the house and it has a banner behind it. It says “We Love Nick! Amber & Eric are liars! LNC (Late Night Crew) is the Nerd Herd!” Amber can’t see that. Eric is a liar, since he is the twist. Amber cries about being called a liar. But she did lie! She wanted to get Nick gone from the house, and said she didn’t. Eric tries to play damage control. By the way, that last statement about The Nerd Herd makes zero sense, since that group was so hated and boring and whined about everything. The people in the LNC are nowhere near as annoying. Zach is gone at 32 minutes. Dick really wants to beat Jen, but he is struggling. He is gone after 44 minutes. Down to 4. Jessica is out next after 59 minutes.
Daniele vs. Jen and Kail now. Dick starts in and berating Jen and Kail and cheering on Daniele. They don’t really care, but Jameka gets pissed at Dick when he calls Kail a “great Christian”, being sarcastic. Jameka was offended that he threw Christianity into this. Good lord. Daniele and Jen rambled on back and forth about nothing. Something about Daniele and her boyfriend. Eric joins in and yells at Jen as he defends Daniele for some reason. Probably saving his own ass later. Jen is gone at 1 hour and 31 minutes. Time to make a deal. Daniele SWEARS to Kail that she won’t being going home this week, if she will drop and let Daniele win. She does that and Daniele is the new HOH! Dick is excited. Kail cries about going up on the block again. So the nominees should be easy choices. Eric is still pissed about the plane banner.

Daniele wonders who the second vote to eliminate Kail was. She is crying, because she thought she could have saved Nick if they knew someone was going to vote to get rid of Kail. She wants to find out who the weasel is. Of course, the weasel is “America”! HAHAHAHA! That’s funny. Now the crying game begins with Daniele and Amber! Whoop! Daniele thinks Amber might have kept Nick, but she didn’t. Eric comes in and lies some more thanks to America. Jameka says the second vote is “tricky”. Dick comes in and says that Daniele thinks she has been set up again or something.

Now Daniele and Dick talk. Daniele thinks it was Eric that voted for Nick to stay now. She doesn’t now the real reason why, but the banner tipped her off to it. Also, since Eric did want to take Nick’s spot, it could pretty smart of him to have the second vote being blamed on Nick. Daniele says that she and Jessica may get close soon. So Eric could be the eventually target.

Dick and Eric talk now. Eric made the mistake of coming up to him and start talking about the second vote for no reason. He runs down the potential candidates and Dick plays it off as he doesn’t know anything. Dick then goes into the backyard and says he knew Eric was lying. I actually like the fact that America is playing with all these guys’ heads. But really I think America just wanted Kail out of the house, because she is retarded. But as a result, they are throwing everyone into a tailspin. So believe it or not, this twist is working in a way they never thought it would work.

Daniele and Dick let Jessica in on the fact that they know Eric was the second vote. Jessica SWEARS she won’t tell Eric. But then she goes and tells Eric. Jessica says he can’t saying anything. These sorts of secret exchanges never work out. Basically, Daniele and Dick want to win POV to put up Eric and get him out. Eric is pissed.

We get the next question for America to decide, though. Eric is going to swear to someone that he will take them to the final two. Pretty lame, since he probably won’t last much longer. “Who should Eric say will take to the final two with him?” I say Jessica is the easiest, but it really won’t matter that much. This may be the last question you can vote on, though, so might as well vote.

Jen talks to Daniele and says she wants to be nominated again, since it would be funny. She tries to work out things with her. But really neither one of them make any sense. So this conversation was pointless. Oh, Daniele did ask Jen who she voted for to stay in the house and she said Kail. So Daniele is now sure that Eric voted for Nick to stay in the house.

Time for Eric to get his possibly last “America’s Player” nomination request from America. America wants to get rid of Jen this week. Eric likes that, since he wanted Jen or Kail again to be nominated.

Eric says everyone is paranoid. Dick pretty much attacks Eric for not thinking that there is a leak. So basically Dick is letting Eric now that he knows Eric is lying without telling him that. They argue you about it. Eric is digging his own hole now even deeper. Dick has a big blowup as Eric tries to talk to him. The gist of this conversation is that Eric doesn’t like Dick questioning everyone’s loyalty. Basically, they are both not telling the truth to each other and that results in a yelling match with Dick and Eric.

Time for the “nomination ceremony”! Daniele is excited to be HOH, but there is a lot of responsibilities. Daniele pulls the first key and it belongs to Dustin. Dustin pulls Eric. Eric pulls Jameka. Jameka pulls Amber. Amber pulls Dick. Dick pulls Jessica. Jessica finally pulls Zach. So that means Kail and Jen are going up for eviction ONCE AGAIN this week! So that’s three weeks in a row and probably another week where NEITHER ONE OF THEM GOES HOME! Are Daniele and Dick that stupid?!

Daniele says she nominated Kail since she is still in the house and she is still a strong player or something. Jen wanted to be nominated, so she got nominated. Daniele says she doesn’t like the way she plays the game personally. Kail says she is strong, because she thinks she is a pawn again. Jen says she is having fun and will continue to do so. Daniele lets us know that her plan is to do something else. So that means she wants to put Eric. She doesn’t actually say that, but she can’t keep a secret. Of course, I think Daniele and Dick have a great alliance with Jen and Kail and that would be the best one ever if that was true. I doubt they all could act like this, though, but you never know. This is Los Angeles, after all.
