Random Reality: Big Brother 8 – Episode 20

Shows

Dustin was the sixth person evicted from the house on Thursday. We get that recap to start off with. That was the best eviction so far. The most shocking, even better than the previous week. Amber is sad, and wait for it, cries that she has not one left in this game now. Dick is excited as you might expect. Jessica is sad to see Dustin leave, but it was better for him to go now especially since she looked like the good guy in the entire thing. Jameka is a little pissed as week. Eric thanks America for voting for Dick to go home. Daniele is happy and brags about the two most hated people in the house still being there. Eric apologizes to Jameka. Amber joins us for a prayer and more crying. She says she hasn’t played anyone. Except Nick, of course. Jameka and Amber blame Eric, but you should really blame America.

We see the recap of Daniele winning the HOH competition. Daniele is excited to be HOH for the second time. Actually, I can just copy and paste the reactions of Dustin leaving with the reactions with Daniele winning HOH. They are the same. Jameka and Amber are sad. Eric and Jessica are with Daniele and Dick. Jen and Zach are “outsiders” that could just slide by thanks to not being in the spotlight anymore.

Daniele jokes to Eric and Jessica that are “suckers” and they are going up. They all laugh, but can they really trust her. I actually think so, but we will see. Jameka chats with Jessica. Jessica wants to keep her on her good side, since she has final say in the end on who wins all the money. Jameka says something is not adding up with Eric. That is America’s input, of course. So really America is deciding who will win this game ultimately. Hmm, that’s more interesting than I thought.

Daniele gets the key to his HOH room and everyone goes to see it. More pictures of Daniele and family. Fluffy hair galore. But no pictures of her boyfriend on the wall this time. There is a letter from Nick, though. There is also a scrapbook for her as well. Eric is surprised that he had this “13-year-old girl scrapbooking abilities”. Daniele reads the letter and it’s typical mushy stuff. She liked it and that is all that needs to be said.

Amber is still depressed. Daniele goes up to talk to her. Daniele tells Amber that Dustin always walked around with a cocky attitude and that ended up costing him. Daniele doesn’t know who she will put up right now. On a personal level, she will be there for Amber, but as for the strategy of the game, everything is fair.

Jameka braids Amber’s hair. Amber asks Jameka what certain words mean like “backdoor”, “outed”, “charismatic”, “superficial”, “ridicule”, and “sub-alliance”. Those are not really big words, which is the joke. Lets all laugh at how dumb Amber is. Okay, that’s mean but still it makes you wonder. She is from Las Vegas, though, so no “big” words needed there.

Eric and Amber talk now. Eric says it wasn’t the plan. Amber says she will forgive, but she won’t forget what Eric did. But more pressing matters await us. It’s beer pong time! Eric breaks down the rules for us. It is Eric and Jessica vs. Daniele and Zach. They start to wager and bet weird things. Eric loses one and has to wear “booty shorts”. Jessica and Eric lose again and they have to swap clothing. Eric wears a dress and Zach says he looks alright. Jessica thought he looked good as well. Scary.

Amber and Jameka talk to Dick. They ask him how he is still here and Dustin is not. Dick tells Amber and Jameka his strategy. Dick said he wanted Dustin to be up against him, because Dustin was the most cocky person in the house. Dick says Dustin was an idiot for volunteering to go up. Amber thinks they will take each other to the final four. Jameka says they don’t have the votes, though. Well actually this week they will, especially since Daniele is the HOH.

Time for the next food competition! It’s a toga party! Zach thinks he looks good in a toga. His arms look great he says. This competition is a big beer pong table. Eric says his “eyes lit up like Christmas morning and he is a Jewish kid!” Jessica says this is just like college. Toga parties and beer pong are an everyday thing for her. That’s nice. The red team is Dick, Eric, Zach, and Jessica. The blue team is Jen, Amber, Jameka, and Daniele. It’s “Slop Pong”. The first team to throw their balls into all 10 cups win food for the week. There is a chance that everyone can have a party feast later in the week if both teams get a ball into the “feast cup”. Jen is on slop regardless and Daniele is not on slop because she is HOH, so Dick likes his team’s chances.

Daniele takes control gives her team a 2-1 lead. Eric says the game is harder than it looks, because the balls bounce more here. Jessica brings her team back for a 4-2 lead, though. Zach throws his ball into the “feast” cup. Jameka gets their ball into the “feast cup” and that means party for everyone. The blue team comes roaring back, but red is still ahead at 7-5. Dick hits another one. Zach drains one more and it’s 9-5 now for the red team. Daniele sinks one. Dick misses one. Jen hits one. Daniele sinks another one and it’s 9-8. Eric continues to suck it up, while Jen sinks another one. It’s 9-9 now. Zach can’t believe the game is tied when their team practices the most. Eric is finally up. He hasn’t made one yet, but of course he sinks the one to win it for them. Red team wins 10-9!

Once the competition is over, they all notice that the dining room table is now smaller. Everyone thinks of the 6 people that have left the game so far. Getting closer to the end now.

Eric and Jessica flirt some more and talk about how “bad ass” they are. Dick tries to get some dirt from them. He wants to know if they have kissed yet? Dick tries to help out Eric by saying that he is a good kisser. Eric then jokes that she loves him and she jokes that she hates him for real.

Jen now asks Daniele who she thinks she will nominate. She wants to know if she will get nominated. Well every time Daniele or Dick nominate her, they flake out and let her off the hook.

Time for the next “America’s Choice” question and answer for Eric. America
wants Eric to try and get Amber put for eviction this week. Another easy choice for Eric. That is no problem at all.

Eric goes up to the HOH room and talks to Daniele and Dick. He puts in his two cents on who should get nominated. He wants Amber, of course. He wants to bury Amber completely and this puts doubt in Daniele’s mind on whether she can trust Eric or not.

We get the next question for America. Eric is going to give a fellow houseguest a special memory from his childhood. He is going to give someone his “childhood woobie”, which is a stuffed bunny. “To whom should Eric give this childhood woobie?” Um, Jessica probably.

Time for the “nomination ceremony”! Amber thinks she will go up for sure, since everyone likes her and no one wants her in the final two. Jen doesn’t know if she is going up or now. Jameka doesn’t know either. That’s the only options, though. Everyone who gets eliminated from now on, though, does get a final vote so that plays a role in nominations now. Eric says he believes Daniele and Dick, which means he won’t be going up this week. Daniele pulls the first key and it belongs to Jessica. Jessica pulls Jen. Jen pulls Dick. Dick pulls Zach. Zach finally pulls Eric. So that means Amber and Jameka are going up for eviction this week! So no surprises again this week.

Daniele says she nominated them because they are both so liked by everyone. She doesn’t want to be sitting next to them in the final two, so that is why they are up. Jameka feels like everything happens for the reason and God controls everything. Amber pretty much says the same thing. So they will be praying very soon. Daniele says she wants to target Jen this week. She wants to take her out this week. Do we have to put up someone as a pawn every week? Daniele must think that is what you HAVE to do in this game. Oh well, whatever. The POV competition is sure to change things up, because that is how this game is going.
