Big Brother 8 Episode #1 Recap
July 5th, 2007

The show begins with the new HGs getting their keys and acting all surprised. They introduce themselves in this order….. Jessica, Danielle, Dick, Jen, Mike….. Kail (KALE), Joe…. Carol…. Amber, Zach, Dustin, Jameka…..

They bring out the first eleven houseguests to enter the house. They can’t talk until they are in the house. Obviously 3 not coming in yet are the rivals.

They are given one minute to claim their beds and are told some will be bedmates.

Carol, Joe, Mike and Amber enter first. Carol says Mike is ‘over the top’ but you have to love him.

Nick, Daniele and Jameka enter.

One bedroom has tiny beds as we expected.

Kail, Jen, Eric and Zach enter last for the first eleven. They get stuck with the tiny beds it seems.

Jen says she isn’t attracted to anyone in the house, the HGs think others will be coming in. They then proceed to introduce themselves. Daniele lies about her age since she will be 21 in 2 months.

Zach says the girls are hot but he is here to play the game. Nick also says all the girls are hot. Carol is annoyed with Jen. Kail doesn’t tell the HGs that she owns several businesses @ home. Amber and Kail both have kids.

Joe is obviously gay and Kail confides in the Diary Room (DR) that she would not want her children to grow up in the ‘gay lifestyle.’

Julie reveals that three houseguests are already in the house in the Head of Household (HoH) room. Dick, Jessica and Dustin are shown and told about the situation. They get to watch the new HGs via the secret camera.

Dustin see’s his ex - Rob.

Jessica sees her high school rival Carol.

Dick sees his daughter Daniele says she hasn’t spoken to him in 2 years.

Dustin says Rob and him have big issues. He says Joe is very manipulative.

Jessica says she has not spoken to Carol in three years.

Jessica mentions $5 that Carol never repaid her and Dustin and Dick make fun of her for being upset about it.

Now Julie reveals that there are others in the house and they have been watching them. She also says the first competition will begin soon.

The 11 HGs prepare for a compeition and we go to…..

-COMMERCIAL-

Back yard is full of mushrooms and the eleven will compete for HoH - the other three will not and remain in the HoH room yet to be introduced. They pair up and Nick is left without a partner so he can not compete.

Mushroom Madness is the name of the game. One partner sits on a mushroom, the other answers T/F questions about the HGs. They spin and spin faster as the one partner misses questions.

Two have admitted to cosmetic surgery.

Four have said they would give up friendship for $500k

One would not give up their seat to a pregnant lady on a bus.

One admitted to be a member of the mile high club.

The spinning HGs are pelted with some kind of glop.

More than half said they would have no problem starting a malicious rumor.

Carol off - her partner Amber also eliminated.

Zach off - his partner Jen eliminated.

No questions left so it becomes an endurance competition. Joe, Mike, and Kail are spinning. Mike falls off first - Danielle is also eliminated.

- COMMERCIAL -

Joe finally falls off, eliminating himself and Jameka. Kail and Eric are the winners of the first HoH competition. One will be HoH.

The other three HGs are safe from eviction and get to decide who is the first HoH. Eric does NOT want it.

Dick, Dustin and Jessica choose Kail saying she did all the work.

Kail is excited and talk of nominations begin and we get…..

- COMMERCIAL -

Julie informs the eleven that they will be joined soon by rivals/enemies. They speculate who it might be.

Joe says he thinks it will be Dustin and that Dustin gave him gonorrhea.

Carol can only think of a rival from seventh grade.

Daniele thinks it might be her dad.

Others speculate but of course they are wrong.

Jesssica comes down, there isn’t much reaction.

Dick comes down and explains Daniele hasn’t spoken to him in two years.

Dustin comes down and meets everyone. Joe clams up and is upset. Nick notices the mood turns somber.

Daniele goes into the bathrrom and cries and is joined by Jameka who says Dick doesn’t have to be here for long if she doesn’t want (implying they could vote him out).

-COMMERCIAL-

Julie reveals that one of the Houseguests is America’s player.

Turns out Eric is the player. Eric says he is doing it for everyone - we (America) controls everything he does (Editorial comment - we’ll see). Julie says we give directions to Eric every episode - Eric must follow them and will earn $10,000 for every 5 tasks he completes.

Then there is lots of teasing for future episodes and it is obvious lots has already gone on including nominations - but the nominations are not revealed.
