I hope one of them is ousted from the house. I hope dick is the one to go. I was for Jameka at first but she showed her true colors last night. On one hand, she is praying to god and then she uses bad words when arguing with Dick. I hope she will ge booted out of the house soon as she is not genuine.

I'm not particularly a Jameka fan, but in her defense, religious people are people too, complete with human vices.
There are plenty of 'good Christians' who sometimes swear, smoke, drink, yell, etc, especially in times of stress. It doesn't make them bad people.

Yikes ! THAT was certainly a circus-like bit of chaos last night, wasn't it? Dick was acting more possessed than usual, Sister Tameka let rip like crazy (I was put in mind of that Mrs. White in the movie "Carrie" ), Amber had yet another breakdown, this time accompanied by organ music? Good grief. I imagine Dick is now going to try to get himself evicted, so to save his daughter? Thing about him, though, is that he's so fired up all the time it'll be hard for him to seem fired up MORE [or worse]. He's adequately labelled the "annoying beast" already ~ which, just my opinion, makes the more flexible (and better player, quite frankly) Daniele the likely target. If somebody gets the POV and saves her, though, I'll bet Dick goes home next. At this point, him up against anybody else but Daniele will sink him. All said without knowing what sort of shenanigans might be shared on Tuesday, of course...

Well, I hope Dick stays because he makes the show more interesting. I don't like his ways but I am always waiting to see what will happen next.

Well from watching tonight's show, it was so hilarious. Danielle got to be the greatest strategizer ever. I think she will go far if Dick is evicted. I hope Jameka will get evicted sometime soon as she is, in my opinion a fake. Right now, I am for Danielle. Jessica is ok too.

Jameka was a bitch tonight. She wouldn't let Danielle get a word in and she was being way to judgmental. Didn't God say it isn't our place to judge...?

I felt bad for Jessica when she was crying about who to put up. It was sad. Eric sucks as America's player. He doesn't even try! He says he will, but doesn't. They should kick him off for failing the majority of his challenges. :P

I really respected Dick for using the veto on Danielle. It shows he really cares about their relationship. Hopefully things will work out between them outside of the house.

I agree with you nowherewoman. I gained a lot of respect for Dick for saving his daughter. That's true religion, helping your fellow neighbor. Jameka don't represent Christians in my view as she is way to judgemental. Danielle needed someone and Jameka was being very mean. I also agree with you in that Eric doesnt try as America's Player. Hopefully, somehow, Dustin will get the boot but I know that it will probably be Dick.
Hopefully, Danielle or Dick will win it all.

You know what I [almost] think the most frightening thing about this week's eviction will possibly become? That that sweet, genuine, cry-if-a-parakeet squawks, entirely unsubstantial Amber will end up the "swing vote" . Clearly, Jameka, Jessica and Eric (if he's allowed to) will vote for Dick. Daniele, (probably) Jen and that other guy will vote for Dustin. Which leaves poor "Weepy" (the eighth Dwarf LOL) as the wild card! Yikes. I have a very serious hunch that 'America' will choose to make Eric vote for Dustin. I wonder what happens if he tells America to take a hike and goes after who he wants to (he's such a weenie, though, he'd probably never go THAT far as to blatantly disobey the directive he gets - and it'll both fully destroy his game and probably get him suicidal NOT to vote for Dick ). Actually, Thursday night's show could be very, very interesting, I suspect...

Gatsby, I agree that Thursday should be interesting. We are all expecting Dick to get evicted but part of me is thinking Dustin might get evicted. If that happens, it will be a shock to most people.

I think Dick is the most popular player right now, so I'm guessing Eric will have to vote out Dustin, which would make me happy because I love seeing Eric squirm, which is terrible yes, but ...

As for Thursday's eviction, like Dick said the pawn always ends up leaving, so if that's true "bye bye Dustin". But who knows in this game!

I got my fingers crossed that Dick will stay and Dustin will be voted out. This is the best big brother I have seen and it is mostly due to Dick. He makes the show a lot better this year.
If he can somehow stay and win HOH, that would be good too.

Honestly, this season couldn't be going better even if somebody had written a script for it, could it? It's panning out to be one of the more watchable "Big Brother"s I've paid attention to (heck, who needs Doctor Will when you have Evil Dick ?). I, personally, have a large problem with 'too much' arrogance. Some amount of it is healthy, I reckon. More than that is grating, though. Dustin had become more arrogant than he was anything else, so I especially enjoyed seeing him get blindsided (mean and cantankerous viewer that I am). And Dick's mighty arrogant, too ~ but he's more, um, entertaining about it? Or Something? Also, I'm sure that Dick's arrogance is all based on Daniele's having a successful game as he displays it. It seems clear to me, all his biker bluster aside, that he's NOT playing this game for himself.

I'm willing to wager that I can predict who America will have Eric set up for eviction come Sunday. Now that Kail is toast and Jen seems to (unpredictably) get more likable each episode, I'd say America has now likely got a Montana-sized itch against Jameka. I would guess that the viewers have very little business with someone going from a Shirley Temple 'image' to Joan Crawford-in-search-of-wire-hangers in less than fifteen minutes like she seems to have done. We like a little more consistency in our national "goodness and light" labels, so to see her turn into a Roller Derby fistfighter was a major gaffe . I'd say Jameka's days are pretty well numbered...

Well well well, last night couldn't have went any better for me, if I had planned it.I just love Dick,he is the only reason I watch this year. Your right Gatsby722 when you said who needs Will when we have evil Dick my personal favorite of all time. I love how he is open and direct. No one can hide secrets from the master! I am floating on clouds today,hooray for Dick staying in the house.I have come to like Jen, the only other player I care to watch. Amber the town cryer,Jameka the two faced so called christian,Zack the unknown,Jessica with that screech of a voice that hurts my ears,and Eric,who is horrible at America's player.I think he was the wrong choice for that role. I hope they all go on the block this week, but I think Jameka will be one of them at least. Until sunday then,E.D. Fan!

I am pleased that Dick stayed because he is very entertaining and loyal to Daniele. Daniele is my favorite and we have the same birthday!

I'm not sorry to see Dustin go, I liked him a whole lot more in the beginning but he turned out to be so catty; at least he got a trip and some cash out of the game before leaving.

Originally I thought it would have been better if ED went as his antics were starting to cross the line of decency, especially for a man his age, but he's toned down his outbursts now that he got Daniele off the block and Dustin's gone. I used to like him a whole lot more in the beginning but now it seems he just targets someone and won't let go - Jameka seemed to get the worst of it last week but while watching BBAD last night they all seemed to get along while sitting together and eating; ED and Jameka even spoke to one another in a friendly manner. Does that mean they play everything up when it's "show" time, (granted they are on camera round the clock and are being viewed online and on Showtime Too daily) but maybe they are encouraged to fight more for the sake of drama?

Amber is just a basket-case, when isn't she crying? When she blew up at Eric I thought she finally grew a spine but nope, she was bawling again in Dustin's farewell video...

Jen is another oddball, she acts so clueless all the time but her family video tells a different story so she is an intelligent person, I just wish she would act it. And why didn't she freak out at ED when he poured that iced tea on her, wouldn't anyone else have? I know if I were her I would have had a fit and now she acts like it never happened and is actually in cahoots with ED and Daniele - maybe she feels like it's her only option but I wouldn't get too comfortable if I were her. Never know when ED will start up again...

America's Player is a nice idea but it seems to violate the original idea of not having contact with the outside world to me. It IS nice to see that Eric HAS to vote for someone even if he doesn't want to, but I wonder if Dustin still would have been voted out if Eric didn't vote against him. Maybe Zach has a stronger position in the house than the rest of the houseguests give him credit for!

In my opinion at this point in the game the only person who seems likely to win would be Jessica, only because she hasn't made any real enemies, unlike the rest of the houseguests. Jameka has a strong chance too, if she plays her cards right.

Now that Daniele is HOH who does everyone else think she will nominate this week for elimination? Maybe Jessica just because Jess nominated her and ED last week, and possibly Amber because she's so tiresome.

I think Dick will want to keep the alliance with him, Danielle, Eric and Jessica to go to the final four. So I don't think Danielle will put up Jess.

Re to BurgGurl's comment about Jen: I think Jen is playing it smart. She was a target from the beginning and if she would freak out on Dick for everything he does to her (well she'd be freaking out all the time) but it would make her an even bigger target. It's good that she keeps things cool for the most part. I'm sure it tweaks Dick off to no end though.

Poor Drew Carey! That Amber will probably soak him from head-to-toe with all that bawling she's bound to do, what with meeting a "celebrity", the excitement of NYC and a live audience. Daniele will be a kick to watch, though. Given her built-in skills, I bet she walks off with a few thousand bucks .

Looks like poor Jen is on her way to that Big Brother jury house on Thursday, doesn't it? Smart move to back-door her like that, but she was becoming kinda fun to watch this season. On a personal level (and not a strategic one) I'd MUCH prefer not to have to see Jameka in the mix anymore. But it makes sense (from Daniele's perspective) to oust Jen first. Too bad they can't play the game for the sole purpose of our entertainment expectations, ain't it ?

I am somewhat glad that Jessica won HOH in that she might not nominate Dick or Danielle. I was hoping Dick would win. I also want Amber to get ousted out of the house next. She cries too much and it is very annoying.

I was pleased to see Jen leave the house because she could have been a threat to my girl, Daniele. Jen was a good competitor and could have easily won the HOH competition this week if she was not voted out.

I feel like both Daniele and Jessica are pretty much unstoppable in the mental HOH competition and veto competitions because they have won the majority of them. ED has also done well in the competitions by winning HOH and veto a number of times. I do not believe that Eric has won anything yet, but that could be his strategy. It has worked pretty well so far.

I am a little unsure about Jessica being HOH. Jessica could decide to betray the alliance when the time comes, but I hope that she does not. The 4 alliance right now is very strong because the other three are not very strong.

Jameka: Sitting out for two more HOH competitions.

Zach: Has not won a competition so far on the show.

Amber: Not a bad competitor, but emotions could mess with her.

I hope that Daniele wins the whole competition! She is a great competitor and a strategic player.

In Thursday's episode, I felt that both Jen and E.D's behavior was bad. Jen broke one of the Big Brother rules and got a penalty vote for it. Also, E.D. burned Jen with his cigarette and blew smoke in her face. I hope that E.D can start controlling his emotions in the house.

I do not really like Eric being in the alliance with Daniele, ED and Jessica because he is the America's Player and could easily have to vote against the alliance and then there would be an uproar in the group.

Personally, I do not think that the alliance will last to the final 4, but I can hope because Eric would have to vote Jessica out because the public likes both ED and Daniele more than her. Do I think that ED and Daniele will make it to the final 2? I do not think so, but I can hope, can't I?

I have a question. If Eric gets evicted, does America get to choose who he votes for in the finale?

Also, I think that if Eric and Jessica were smart, they would put up ED and Danielle because they're the two strongest players. They could make a deal with the other 3 to get ED and Danielle evicted, and then it would be a free for all to the end.

But BB never usually pans out the way I would like it to.

Oh, I SO agree, garyfire. I was almost sure that's what Jessica would do last night (she seemed to be a crafty player, and as such would go that route). I'm not sure that nomininating Amber and Zach serves any purpose in expediting someone winning the game - in terms of ousting them as means for any of the others to move up on the "food chain". My (armchair) opinion is that, playing the game with a "who's been nice to me throughout gets to stay" mode will do nothing more than put Jameka in the best position to win. And that would displease this particular viewer indeed . But, one never knows.

And Eric gets to kiss a houseguest this week, does he? I, for one, think it would behoove the voters to pick E.D. as the recipient . I can just picture Dick flattening Eric after such a thing - and I'd find Eric much more tolerable unconscious.

I don't like how they're forcing Eric to kiss someone. It's obviously going to be Jessica, but it just seems kind of weird that we're making him. BUT if it was for a joke, and ED was picked, than I'd be alright with it. That would be too funny.

You were right, NowhereWoman ! How exciting (not!) was that ~ Eric kissing Jessica? Aren't they lip-locked and/or cuddling up under the sheets every ten minutes on a 'regular' day? The "Power of 10" was a bit of a letdown, too, I thought. Amber only escaped with a big fat grand (before taxes)? And Daniele didn't get to see her Nick dude? Jeesh. No fun in that, now ! It was refreshing to get to see Amber sob a little in a game show setting, I reckon. It certainly seemed inevitable.

I've been (casually) trying to think who might get evicted tomorrow, now that the "back-door" tactic to oust Daniele was foiled (by Eric, no less - good thing he got that kiss from Jessica BEFORE he did that, isn't it). I think I lost track of who the concensus is against, given the two nominees that are still nominees. While it doesn't matter what I think, my overall appraisal is that it doesn't seem key, game-wise, at ALL which of the two get the boot. But I have a hunch that Zach might be meeting up with Julie Chen tomorrow. Or maybe not?
