Big Brother Episode 826
September 2nd, 2007Big Brother 8 Episode #26 Recap
September 2nd, 2007
Welcome to tonight’s show. They are recapping the last week - ending with the HoH competition in progress.
OPENING CREDITS
Amber is shown being evicted. In the Diary Room (DR) Dick said he is glad to see her go. Jessica wanted her to stay but Eric convinced her she needed to go.
Zach said it was huge for him not to go. Eric says he was happy to see Amber go, that it was what America wanted.
Now we see the HoH competition. I watched it all on the live feeds and reported the details here Friday night: My recap of the HoH competition including video.
If you don’t want to read that recap here is my short one… Zach was leading the whole time. Eric was really hurting after some hard falls.
One thing I didn’t understand from Friday - there was a small vase near the big bowl and by filling it firts Eric got a phone call (actually he gave it to Jessica).
The other thing that hadn’t been completely explained - the extra cups. For each extra cup used the house was put on cold water. All four took two cups and so the house is on cold water for eight days.
Zach was always in the lead and in the DR Dick explains that he was very concerned because he had laid into Zach right before the competition. We see a flashback of Dick really ripping into Zach - claiming he was trying to back stab him.
Back to the competition and we see Zach coming close to winning it.
-COMMERCIAL-
The close finish between Zach and Dick is shown….. when I watched it live I had no doubt Zach was going to win.
Dick says he is so pissed because Amber would not have had a chance.
Eric gives the call to Jessica.
Eric is obviously upset that he lost the HoH and he is now worried that Zach will go after Jessica.
Dick and Daniele talk, Dick is worried, Daniele says she has pull with Zach and thinks he will nominate Jameka and Jessica.
Eric promises Jessica he will do everything in his power this week to keep her in the house.
Zach gets his HoH room, no one is very excited. Everyone checks it out - but no excitement. Everyone slowly leaves the room leaving Daniele and Zach.
Daniele goes to work on Zach. Zach talks about how Dick laid into him earlier and Daniele talks about how that is one reason she hasn’t talked to him much the last seven years.
Daniele quizzes him about who he might nominated and he doesn’t appear to rule out nominating Dick (ed - interesting editing - Zach told Daniele that she and Dick were safe before she left the HoH room in reality).
-COMMERCIAL-
Jessica and Eric time. (This happened earlier in the week when Jessica was still HoH) Eric admits to the mustard and the votes. He says in the DR that he wants to tell Jessica he is America’s player but he can’t.
Jessica gets her phone call from her younger brother who is just back from Iraq (This was Saturday). Very little of the call is shown (it was 20 minutes long). Jessica cries afterwards. She is so happy to know her brother is back and safe.
-COMMERCIAL-
America tells Zach to get Jameka nominated (shocking - not). We see Eric propose Jameka be nominated and voted out.
Daniele talks to Dick and suggests that they try to get Zach to put up Eric and Jessica - so that they have no choise but to vote one of them out - thus being forced to break the alliance - but it appearing not to be their fault.
Daniele and Dick approach Zach and suggest the same thing (this was about 2pm on Friday as watched it unfold). So we are left thinking Zach may nominate Jessica and Eric.
Tonights America’s Players Vote - Which House Guest Should Eric Mimic (and make fun of)? - Link To Voting Page - voting ends at 3am Eastern.
-COMMERCIAL-
Nomination time Zach claims it was a last second decision (lies lies lies - lol) - here is the order the keys came out - only three key left now.
Dick, Daniele, Eric.
Jessica and Jameka are nominated.
Zach explains that he nominated Jameka because he feels their social relationship hasn’t evolved and she has more friends so is more of a threat against him in the end. He says while he is friends with Jessica he still feels everyone likes her so she is a threat.
In the DR Jessica can’t blame him, Jameka feels it was a cop out. Daniele is happy and feels he friendship with Zach paid off, Eric feels he is to blame.
