Big Brother 8 Episode #4 Recap
July 12th, 2007

First, a recap of the previous shows as always.  Then on to the credits.

Julie again recaps the rivalries.  Then mentions Amber and Carol being up for eviction.

Then the famous - “but first”  - the reaction to the nominations and Daniele not using the Power of Veto (POV).  Carol says all she can do is try and pretend she isn’t bothered.  Amber says she is not here for herself, she is here for her family.  Dick says he can trust more than anyone but Daniele.

We see the Dustin tell Amber how much he trusts her and Amber feels she has the votes to stay.  We see Carol discussing with Jen who she thinks she has (Joe, Daniele, Jen).  She doesn’t think she has Dustin, Dick and Jessica.

Carol huddles with Jessica and apologizes for things that happened in the past.  Jessica seems in the Diary Room (DR) to be happy Carol is nominated.  She talks to Eric, then Joe, Joe says he wants to break up the Amber/Dustin alliance. 

Joe goes to Zach and Zach says ‘if it is close, come back to me.’  In the DR Zach says his alliance needs to stay together. Zach and Nick go over the options.  Then we aee Mike, Zach and Amber talking in the Head of Household (HoH) with Kail, finally Jen talks to Kail after the other two leave.

Julie talks to the HGs live after a bit of audio difficulty.  She asks Jen how it was making the decision on who to evict - Jen stumbles and says “fun?” she giggles and says she wasn’t prepared to answer any questions (ed - and I bet she isn’t asked any more either - lol).

Julie asks Jessica about Carol and Carol about Jessica - they both seem ok with each other now.

Dick on Daniele says ‘baby steps’ - Daniele says that it has been ‘akward’ (in a silly voice she practiced).

Joe on Dustin, the nicest thing he can say about Dustin is he has a nice smile (and ads it is only a surface thing), and Dustin says Joe has a winning personality.

We see Dustin, Joe, Jen and Jameka’s DR comments about voting.  We see reasons to keep and evict both but no votes are revealed.

Dicks son Vincent and mother Charlotte comment on Dick as a father.

Vincent says Daniele hasn’t talked to her because she borrowed money from her father and was unable to pay him back and he didn’t handle it very well.

Charlotte said when did because a father at 22 he didn’t handle it very well, they he didn’t understand that his ‘life’ was over (meaning the ’single, non parent’ lifestyle).

We see Dick again get teary eyed over the situation.  Vincent hopes they get back together because their family is already small and it is tough on them.

Julie talks to Kail.  She says she went with the guys for an alliance because of her being so much other than the girls and because Zach approached her.  She also comments on Eric comint to her - said she thinks he came to her because he trusted her to keep it quiet.

Zach, Daniele, Dick, Mike and Jessica comment on the nominees in the DR - again, not votes revealed.

-COMMERCIAL-

Eric, American’s player is profiled.  His family talks about him, and their reaction to him being America’s Player.  His older brother hoped he wasn’t America’s Player because it would mess up his plans.  The entire family was disappointed it seemed when it was announced.

Julie reveals who America told him to vote - it was to evict Carol - and he did.

-COMMERCIAL-

Julie talks to Amber and Carol.  Amber says she has had a good time and gets choked up.  Carol says she considers it an honor and privilege to have met them all. 

10-1 Carol evicted.

Carol says, “I sae that one coming.”  She hugs everyone and heads to the door.  Tells everyone to enjoy and they clap for her as she leaves.

She exits and says she hopes she grabbed the right bag.  Camera cuts back inside and everyone is hugging Amber.  Dick comments on the Bunny location (not site where they were).

Cut back to Carol saying, “This is so weird.”

Julie asks if Jessica is different, and Carol says she really isn’t very different but doesn’t want to go into it.  Julie shows Carol clips of Jessica bad-mouthing her.  Carol says the clips show her for who she is.

Goodbyes….  Joe, Zach, Kail, Amber, all positive.  Jessica says good luck and that she is talented, maybe they will see each other at a high school reunion.  Carol says it is just Jessica and she’ll never change.

Julie says they will reveal the one HG to vote for Carol tomorrow (I’m 99% sure it was Jen - she was the only one out of the loop in the house).

Next up HoH Comp.

Head of Household Comp.  Kail can’t compete.

Wow…… lol

-COMMERCIAL-

Tonights America’s Players vote ?  Tell Eric who he should try to get nominated? Link To Voting Page - voting ends at 3am Eastern. 

We listen in on the HGs in the backyard.  It is apparent Jen is explaining to Amber why she voted for her, because she knew her less than Carol.

END OF SHOW

12am  The real scheming kicked in after 12am - check Friday’s live feeds post for updates on that. 

9:30pm  According to the “crawl” on ShoToo - 1/2 the house will be on slop after tomorrow’s food competition.  Joe asked Jen about nominating Dustin and Jen said she was thinking about Nick and Daniele (a woman scorned I guess).   There will be a lotta butt kissing tonight, since Jen really has no alliance don’t exect her to confirm her nominations any time soon.  She might shock everyone tomorrow.

8:30pm  They ate dinner and Jen is now in the Diary Room.   Mass speculation by the HGs continue.  Dick, Amber, Joe, Nick and Daniele feel they are the top targets.  There is also speculation by the HGs that the HoH was rigged for Jen.  That since she was in the tie-breaker they gave them a question everyone would miss and she would get because she is so dumb (her fellow house guest’s opinions - not mine!). 

7:50pm  My first sighting of the crew for the year.  Here the camera’s picked up a male and female staff member leaving the HoH room - I got lucky seeing it - only lasted for about 5 seconds

6:55pm Jen has soooo many choices, going to be interesting to say the least.

 

6:50pm  Big Brother keeps cutting to the water cam - most likely because the HGs are discussing production related things.  Interesting note - Dustin says that Carol tried to ‘voluntary exit’ five times but they (producers) kept talking her into staying.   Dick says the silver lining of Jen winning HoH is she won’t be in the bedrooms with them this week.  Dick is sure he is going up - especially since his confrontation with her today - he said he told her to ‘f’ off 10 minutes before the show began.  Amber feels she may be nominated as does Joe and even Nick.

6:45pm  Yup - they were just discussing the Tie-Breaker - it was 9 gallons because there is a hole on the side :)  Side note - Jameka’s birthday is July 20th.

6:36 And with that the feeds return.  They are re-hashing the HoH competition. Everyone seems to be in good spirits.

6:35pm  The news from Seattle continues.  Trivia still on feeds 1,2 and 3.  I am almost ready to speculate that they screwed up the HoH competition but I don’t think that is the case. 

6:18pm  Feeds are on trivia - except Feed4 which for some reason is showing Seattle Washington Channel 7.  Ahh - they are having a bit of a heat wave.  lol

 

6:10pm  Wow…..  Jen the new HoH - who saw that coming?  I can’t believe she said “Fun?” when Julie asked her a question at the beginning.  Cams came back briefly but have now gone away again.  As to the winning answer in the HoH competition - it was a trick question I guess.  How many gallons of water can the tea-cup hold?  Well I think everyone assumed Julie meant, ‘Were it whole.’  Nine Gallons was probably what it holds with the side cut out (as it is).  Very tricky Big Brother

5:00pm Recapping the Live Show HERE (click). 

4:00pm Just an hour until showtime!  HGs are for the most part dressed for the show - here is a sneak peek of what they will be wearing.  But first - there was a pretty decent blow up by Dick this afternoon where he told off Jen for being so self-centered - I’m sure it will make the show - probably Sunday - unless Carol was in too much of it.

11:55am  Inside lockdown continues - HGs are getting anxious for tonight’s show.  They have not gone out back yet.   My guess is Dick will be dying to smoke when they get to go out. 

  

9am Everyone got up around 8am per Big Brother telling them to.  Now they are on an inside lockdown, chances are Big Brother is setting up the back yard for rehearsal for tonight’s show. 

Daniele and Nick seem to be doing better today. 

5:30am  Everyone is soundly sleeping.  When BB finally gets them up they will have to clean house and rehearse for the live show this evening. 

 

Last night and early hours of the morning?  No major incidents.  Amber, Dustin, Dick and Eric were the latest up I think with Dick outlasting them all by a couple hours.  From their discussions Kail has set herself up badly in her worry not to let people know she is a successful businesswoman at home.  They have all noticed that she hasn’t shared much of herself and it has made them very distrustful of her.
