Correction: In my last article about Big Brother 8, I wrote that Jen, Jameka, and Kail had all lost the ability to compete in the next 5 HOH competitions. I was mistaken and Jen did NOT lose the power to compete in the competitions after all, as I learned on tonight's show.
In tonight's show, Kail, as I predicted went home. The self-proclaimed "multi-business owner of four businesses that employs over half the town"overplayed her hand early on and took the HOH the first time out...that proved her undoing. (It turns out the businesses owned by our big and bad "multi-business owner" are four mom and pop operations in a town that I estimate has a population of about 160) The third time was the charm and in a close vote, Kail was sent packing, still wearing her bunny suit, but stripped of her dignity.;)
Prior to the vote, Amber became unraveled about a secret that she had shared with Eric that apparently he had confided to Evel Dick that he was holding to use in a power play at the end. To be honest Amber's personal life and it's little affairs are hardly a factor in the game and I have no doubt that inside or out no one really cares about Amber's love life. She became quite the drama queen in a move that probably cost her and buddy Dustin a lot of position in the house. She went on a tirade that rivaled Evel Dick's little tantrums and apparently forgot all about her close ties with God as she launched a string of obscenities that would make the late Richard Pryor blush with shame. Apparently Amber has some special affinity with the Almighty that I don't know about that allows rude psychotic, vulgar behavior. Dustin keeps saying he doesn't like how Evel Dick plays the game, but now he finds himself paired with a drama queen with a tongue like a Bourbon Street Streetwalker. Congrats, Dustin...welcome to da jungle.;)
Jen, in an idiotic move, allied herself with the losing side. I think Evel Dick under calculated the numbers in his support group and when Jessica nominates, I see him sitting firmly on the block beside daughter Daniele.
I like how Jessica stepped up a few days ago and took the reins. I have always felt that she and Dustin were the two with the most skills in the house and I think that with Jameka virtually USELESS now, Jessica was smart to jump ship. I would really like to see her win the game. I was rooting for Jen because Jen was the only one playing the game, but now that Jessica has revealed her hand I would like to see her go far in the game. It has really become a middle-school mentality in the house and that is Jessica's best arena.;) Last week, I thought about supporting Jen but she didn't play it very smart this week.
Eric just CAN'T win. He has more bad breaks than Lindsay Lohan. First a plane soars over revealing his strategy, followed by an error on the part of Julie Chen, that caused him to lose against Jessica in tonight's HOH competition. On the bright side, I doubt he is in danger and that leaves him free to compete again next week.;) Don't count Eric out of the game yet, he is tougher than he looks and plays a VERY-smart game.
Dustin was in a really strong spot in the house, prior to Amber's little display. Now I think he will be shopping around for help and will have trouble finding an out.
Jameka is not in as bad a spot as she thinks. No one is in a hurry to eliminate her because she can't compete for HOH. It is much better to eliminate a THREAT.;) So barring another idiotic move on her part, she can coast four more weeks while Dustin and Jessica joust with Dick and Daniele. Then the infighting will begin and the survivors will begin to go after the opposing, surviving pairs. If Jameka makes the right pairing at the end and can pull off a win she could be in a really sweet spot thanks to her total ineptness...isn't life grand sometimes? I'll bet Eric wishes he had that kind of luck.hehe
There you go...more that you ever wanted to know about my take on Big Brother 8...
