Big Brother 8 Episode #7 Recap
July 19th, 2007

Show begins with a recap of the Jen winning HoH, her nomination of Daniele and Dick, Daniele saving herself with the POV and Joe going up in her place.

Opening credits…

Now Julie recaps everything once again.

Julie says the vote will be live and ‘anything can happen’ (ed - umm - not really)

We see Daniele save herself and Jen nominate Joe in a 3rd recap of the POV.

Reactions to the POV ceremony, Dustin very happy, Daniele happy to be off the block, Dick says he is sure he is staying, Joe thinks he is screwed.

Joe talks to Kail and tells her he wants to stay, he talks to Mike and Jessica as well. Jessica in the DR says she thinks Joe would take her out to stay in the house and she can’t have that.

Eric gets his America’s Player vote - he is told to vote Joe out. He says thank you - it is a slam dunk.

Dick talks to Kail, telling her that her alliance is busted, she tells Dick that she is currently voting for him to stay. Kail then goes to Mike and says they need to get Evel out because no one is going against him. So they begin to work on getting votes to save Joe. Kail works on Daniele, trying to turn Daniele against Dick, she tells Daniele that Dick did something right in leaving her with his parents.

Daniele reports her campaigning to Dick.

Kail tells Nick he has to vote Dick out because he is in with Daniele.

Dick confronts Kail about her campaigning (this was yesterday afternoon). She says she doesn’t have to tell him anything. He calls her stupid and transparent. He says she can’t be trusted. Jessica, Jameka, Eric and others are a witness to the confrontation (I saw this live and it was shown pretty much un-edited - kudos CBS).

Diary Room entries from Kail, Dustin, Nick, Daniele and Jessica - none really commit so what they say is pretty meaningless to me. Besides - CBS wants it to seem close ya know!

Julie talks to the HGs. Daniele says it is a crappy situation but she is glad she is safe. Amber says she has a big heart to explain all her crying. Julie teases Nick about his relationship with Daniele. Julie comments on the many ways Jen has worn the unitard. Asked if it might be a new fashion trend, Jessica says no.

Joe vs. Justin - we see the two guys going back and forth. We meet Nate whom was involved with Joe (and was Dustin’s best friend) - turns out Nate is on Dustin’s side. He says Joe just wants to make Dustin out to be a bad guy. Joe and Dustin on the hammock - Joe lobbying for Dustins vote - and Dustin refuses to give him his vote. Joe then basically tells off Dustin - imlying he never gave him a chance.

Mike, Amber. Zach and Jameka in the DR - again no votes so what they say doesn’t matter too much because they haven’t voted.

Julie talks to Jen. She feels Dick has a lot of similar traits as she does - they just handle it differently. Julie asks her about her picture on the memory wall - she still says it is horrible. Jen feels Daniele’s energy has improved since she was nominated.

Nominees talk, Joe says now is the time to keep your word, Dick says he hopes to spend more time with them. He meets Julie and sits down.

Back inside everyone is hugging - it is pretty somber.

Live voting. All go to the DR to vote.

Dustin - Joe

Daniel - Joe

Eric - Joe (sounds like he has no choice - vote is for Joe)

Amber - Joe

-COMMERCIAL-

Kail - Dick

Jameka - Joe

Mike - Joe

Nick - Joe

Jessica - Joe

Zach - Joe

Joe evicted 9-1 - Joe was not shocked, he seems resigned. He hugs everyone and says it was nice to meet everyone. Wishes them good luck and heads out the door.

Back outside - Julie asks Joe how it feels to see his ex still inside. Joe said he lost his focus once he saw Dustin in the house. In retrospect he probably should not have stirred the pot as much.

Julie reveal that Eric was the twist in the house, that he was told to crawl into bed with Joe. Joe is surprised. Joe feels honored that America voted for Eric to climb into bed with him.

Goodbyes - Dick says see ya, Zach says he always wanted him out, Kail apologizes, Jessica says bye and she is sad, Nick says Joe is a very charismatic person, Jen says her skills at persuasion must stink, Dustin says that Joe needs to take care of himself.

Looks like another ‘quiz’ type HoH comp. They are in their booths and there is an E=MC2 formula on the wall behind them.

T/F - Jen said ‘Don’t steal this from me, I really would be sad’ when she won the 2nd HoH. F - Amber and Nick eliminated.

T/F - Add up all the bites of Pie taken - more than 45. T - but all wrong.

T/F - Jen won the red unitard and shouted, “Thank you Santa” - F - all right.

Tonights America’s Players Vote - Tell Eric Who He MUST get nominated. - Link To Voting Page - voting ends at 3am Eastern. If you want to help Eric out - I would suggest Jen or Kail.

Evesdropping on the HGs - Dick just says ‘wow’ - can’t make out much else.
