Big Brother 8 Episode #23 Recap
August 26th, 2007

The show begins showing Jen’s downfall, again implying Jen was a ‘cheater.’ Jen evicted, Jessica new HoH.

Opening Credits.

We see Jen’s eviction 6-0 again. In the Diary Room (DR) Dick celebrates, says a cancer has been cut out. Daniele regrets hugging Jen as she left because Jen called her a ‘back stabber.”

Jameka is happy to be in the house still, Dick says to Amber that is the first time she hasn’t cried with someone being evicted.

Almost everyone seems excited Jessica has won HoH. Whispering to Eric, Jessica mentions possibly putting up Amber.

Amber talks to Jameka and says they right before the HoH she decided it wasn’t a good week for her so she asked God to let Jessica win it.

Amber hopes that Jessica nominates Daniele.

Flirting between Jessica and Eric. Eric talks about having 30 minutes alone with no camera time - Jessica says she would spend the time making out with him. In the DR Eric says he has no ‘game’ with women but given his competition (Zach and Dick) he has a shot.

Jessica gets her HoH room. Eveyrone say ‘yay’ and ‘awwwww.’ Jessica gets a T-Shirt with her favorite term “BooYaH!” on it.

Jessica asks Amber what Jen was referring to when she said, “make sure to tell Jess” as she left the house. Amber says it was about the fact that Eric has a girlfriend outside the house and they are not broken up (Actually Eric had told them about his on again off again g/f Cheryl.). Drama is implied and I am sure there will be an Eric/Jessica segment before the end of the show where Eric explains the status of that relationship.

And here it is - Eric’s explanation of his relationship with Cheryl to Amber - he says exactly what I said - it has been an on again - off again relationship with her. Eric is upset Jen implied he was cheating. In the DR Eric says his intentions towards Jessica are honorable. Eric talks to Jessica and it seems all is ok.

More examples of Dick babying Daniele - his biggest comment being for her to take her vitamins. She feels he has never been a parent to her so why should he start now.

This leads to a blow up between Dick and Daniele (this actually happened while Daniele was still HoH). Later that same night they talk again and things blow up again -again this happened when Jen was still in the house. As a matter of fact they show Jessica in her bed from last week while the fight went on. I guess they needed some filler.

Jameka talks to Jameka. Jameka suggests Daniele and Dick. Jessica not sure if she can do that (not to mention that she has an alliance with them). Jessica does tell Jameka that she is safe.

LUXURY COMPETITION TIME.

Jessica decided boys vs girls (hmm - I doubt she chose based on what went on).

HGs get in tight fitting clothing and find the back yard full of foam. Jessica announces that they have to get naked in order to win a “Big Brother Shopping Spree”

The clothes they are wearing have letters on them, they must remove their clothes and hang them on a line and spell out three words. So they all end up nude (there was a partition between the guys and the girls so they could not see each other).

The women win - the men were mostly clueless. There is much nude jumping up and down by the women. They then get to go on a 2 minute shopping spree. I reported on it on this page when it happened on Friday because the shopping spree was shown on the feeds live.

-COMMERCIAL-

Jameka flatters Amber, telling her she is going to be on the cover of a magazine, Amber says that Nick said she could be on “Top Model.” This is obviously a ‘make fun of Amber’ segment by Big Brother as they show Jen in very unflattering ways.

Zach talks to Eric and Jessica and pleads his case.

America’s player, Eric is told to get Amber nominated - he says he can almost guarantee it. That was the plan all along to him talking about it is what he was going to do anyways.

Tonights America’s Players Vote - Whom do you want Eric to kiss? - Link To Voting Page - voting ends at 3am Eastern. THIS IS STUPID - HE KISSED JESSICA TODAY - ARGHH!!! VOTE DICK!!

My recap of tonight’s show - on this page.

Notable events today: New alliance name for Dick, Daniele, Eric, Jessica - “Little Julie Chens” (LJC). Eric and Jessica’s first kiss around 6:50am.

11:55pm Zach spoke with Erc and work on deals to get himself off the block. He suggested putting up Daniele (like Jessica did), Eric didn’t commit to anything but they did talk for a long time.

After that the group played quarters.

10:15pm Interesting - Jessica is apparently still thinking about going after Dick/Daniele. She sees no reason to trust Dick/Daniele. Eric says they almost have no reason to trust anyone. Daniele still wants to consider going after Daniele. She argues that if they go after Daniele he will only have to fight Dick for the next HoH.

I don’t think Eric is going to go for it but its fun to think about since this week has seemed to be cut and dried. Eric states that he is willing to discuss it all night but he will be arguing the side to keep noms the same. I don’t think I have EVER seen Eric give in to someone else’s argument so I’m pretty sure things are going to remain the same.

9:50pm Now Amber has Eric’s ear. I don’t think anything is going to change.

8:45pm Amber finally cornered Jessica and asked her about her status in the house, Jessica says she isn’t her target and Amber half breaks down with relief (pssst Amber - she is lying to you). Amber says she thinks the nice people should win - back to implying Dick, Daniele and Zach aren’t ‘nice’ people. Amber promises Jessica that she and Eric are not her targets if she wins HoH next week. Amber is screwed in that case because she has already promised Daniele she would never nominate her so her only target can be Dick if she stays.

Zach interrupts to announce there is booze to be drunk (just in time for the Showtime feeds) and Jessica uses this as an excuse to get away. Jessica then relays the details to Eric who was in the shower.

7:30pm Soon to be dinner time. Eric is just getting up after sleeping most of the day away. Be prepared for another late night. Eric will most likely also try to kiss Jessica again, although he has already clinched that one. I am seriously hoping America votes for someone else, but I think the fix is in.

6:15pm Nothing big to report in the house but how about tonight’s show? America’s player? Vote for whom he should kiss? Honestly? Give me a break!

4:50pm Almost show time - Zach is up getting something to eat and heading to the hot tub, Amber is reading the bible and occasionally crying, Dick is spending some quality time in the bathroom. I’m sure things will pick up soon.

4pm Zach and Eric are sleeping in the small bedroom. Dick, Jameka and Amber are hanging out out back and Amber is in her HoH bedroom where is looks like she has fallen asleep as well. Not sure where Daniele is - perhaps in the DR - or sleeping.

3:20pm Outside lock down is over. Its been raining a little today. Dick went for a swim. Other than that is was a very quiet lock down. The HGs were thinking they might be closing down a bedroom but they weren’t.

2pm Outside lockdown.

1pm HG Wake up call.

9:30am BB told Eric and Jessica to go to sleep.

8:20am Eric and Jessica continue talking, again I suspect Eric would rather be kissing than talking and even though Jessica complimented Eric’s technique earlier, she doesn’t seem to interested in a long kissing session, for Eric’s sake I hope it her her being conscious of the camera’s and not her dis-interest in him.

7:10am They have talked about the kissing, Jessica says Eric kisses very well. They wonder what they have started, wonder what others will think. They kissed again for a bit and then resumed conversation. Looks to me like Eric would rather not be talking - lol.

6:50am FIRST KISS - Jessica’s first words afterwards, “It’s about time!”

6:25am Lights are out - looks like they are going to sleep, Eric snuggled up to her and feels a bit of resistance apparently, he asks if she likes cuddling or not and she says not all night - so he quickly snuggles right back up with her, I’m not sensing she is feeling very romantic.

5:50am hmmmmmm….. Eric may be finally making a move. Here are a couple examples I took pics of. The conversation is still fairly innocent, mostly about what has gone on in the house up until now. Stay tuned.

5am Dick has gone to bed while Eric and Jessica continue their non-stop flirting.

4:25am Right not Eric and Jessica are still up in the HoH room and Dick sits in the tea cup thinking about how well things are going for him.

2am-3:30am (roughly) - Jessica was giving Eric a massage when Dick came up to the HoH room and once Daniele joined them they ended up having quite a long meeting - here are some highlights relayed to me by BB fan ‘danical’:

The unofficial alliance name for Dick, Dani, Jess, and Eric is “The Little Julie Chens” or “LJC”. They have also cut to trivia several times, but the four of them seem like they might try to test the alliance name to see what happens. They have even joked that if they make it to the Final 4, that Eric and Dick might dye their hair blonde, and they will all be blonde for the first live show as the final 4.

It seems they got quite bold too - at least that is what I sensed from this additional info when I noticed that Amber and Jameka didn’t seem very pleased that Daniele and Dick were up in the HoH room.

They have been belly laughing loudly for hours in the hoh, while Jam and Amber have been in the kitchen, they have laughed so loud, they can hear them, and they even tuned in the hoh tv cams on both of them, faked laughed loudly to see if they can hear them from the kitchen, and on cue, their heads snapped towards the hoh room every time they laughed

What I saw was Jameka talking to Amber in the big bedroom and it was not a happy convo. It was pretty obvious Jameka and Amber were concerned about how ‘buddy buddy’ the four were being in the HoH room.

12am-2am The main focus of the feeds from 12-2am was Dick and Daniele in the back yard talking and Jess and Eric in the HoH room talking. General chat and some game talk but no change in any plans.
