Daily Recap Summary - Friday 07/06/07

Here is the feed recap summary for Friday 07/06/07:

At 8:03 the first stir of house guests awaking, Kail is awake and talking to Jen who slept in the HOH bed with her. Big Brother does not waste much time at 8:30 they wake everyone up announcing that the VETO competition will be in 90 minutes. Dustin and Jen have a conversation, Jen tells him she believes that one of the first contestants booted out will come back in, and she believes it always is that way. That’s only years 1 and 2 someone didn’t return. Dustin thinks that people are taking this game way too seriously, that it is too early to be thinking about these things. Mike and Zach spend considerably long time in the mirror primping and doing their hair. By 9:00 am the houseguests are on lockdown inside as they prepare for the VETO competition. Jameka reads some bible verses to Zach, Dani interrupts and they discuss how she went to Christian school and had all Christian academic style classes. BB calls Jameka to the DR and takes her bible, it seems it was not a religious bible but a self help type of bible which are forbidden in the house. Dick and Amber discuss the VETO, She asked him to win the VETO for her if he gets to play, He kept reassuring her that she does not need it, that Carol will be leaving and tries to convince her to just leave nominations as they are so that Carol will leave. Amber starts talking to Nick and others, telling them that if she wins VETO she will pull a Marcellas and not use it- that she will respect Keil’s decision. She wants reassurance from them that they will not vote her out if she does not use it. She starts saying she just does not want Carol to win because then she will be going home. That they should do everything they can so Carol does not win.

Daily Recap Summary-Thursday 07/05/07

For those that don't want to read the feed recaps, here is a summary of what happened on the feeds:

9:00 PM: Feeds Go Live! Carol and Amber are in the big blue room, and its pretty clear they are nominated. Amber wanders off to ... somewhere... and Carol joins Dustin in the Gym. They discuss the veto (played on Friday) and the fact that Carol knows Dustin would save Amber if he had the chance. He tells her "We connected right away." Amber and Dustin are apparently bed buddies as well. Conversation switches to an alliance of 6, but there are no names mentioned specifically. They talk about Joe (Carol likes him), and Zach (Dustin thinks he's playing his own game and adds "He's setting up his own pieces. It's whether or not you want to be part of his chess board or not." [ok...] Carol says he offered her a vote in the future.) Most of the others (Daniele, Jen, Mike(?), Eric, Nick) are out in the hot tub, and Jessica and Joe are in the kitchen. Some of the houseguests are on slop, and Jessica and Joe are wondering if they can eat some body paint(!?) that is laying around. The hot tub group wonders if they can sing songs that they make up. [They are all very conscious of the cameras, and all make comments from time to time about being watched.] Dick, Jameka, and Zach have been given a golf game [It looks like a leftover from last year's veto comp] because they were using mops earlier. Eric tries to make friends with us by calling us "internet nerds" in between really loud talking/laughing and nearly continuous f bombs. He and the hot tub crew talk about how hard the slop must have been on George last year.

Big Brother Show Recap-Premier 07/05/07

Let the Games Begin!!!!!


So this is the moment we've been waiting for, the premiere of Big Brother 8. As always, the show began with the video of the 14 houseguests getting their keys and learning they were selected for the showThe narrator gives us a tease of what's to come: "And tonight six people have no idea what is about to happen to them. They will each come face-to-face with the last person they would ever want to see. A father, estranged from his daughter, they have not spoken in two years. [Dick and Daniele] A bitter ex-boyfriend, one sought vengeance by turning all their friends against the other [Joe and Dustin], and then these two, former high school best friends forever, but what tore them apart? [Jessica and Carol]" In random order Julie Chen lets the houseguests enter the house and choose their beds. Carol, Joe, Mike and Amber entered first, then Nick, Daniele and Jameka, followed by Kail, Jen, Eric and Zack.Julie: "The houseguests are settling in and starting to feel at ease in the house. But they wouldn't be so comfortable if they knew that there are three other people in the house right at this moment. But where are they? And who are they?" When we returned from the commercial we got to see Dustin, Jessica and Dick in the HoH room. "I'm sure you are wondering why there are only three of you in the Big Brother house. Well, you are not alone. There are 11 houseguests downstairs, and not all of them are strangers to you. Each of you will be spending the summer with someone from your past. It could be an enemy, or a rival or someone you have unfinished business with. In short, the last person you would ever want to see in the big brother house. The good news is the other houseguests have no idea that you are in the house. And you're going to be able to watch their every move, and they won't be able to see you. I'll leave you now to find out with whom you'll be spending the summer."

The Canadian Idol judges had their fingers on the pulse of the voting public Wednesday night, accurately predicting three of the four competitors eliminated from the Top 18.

Both Sass Jordan and Zack Werner forsaw the departure of rock goddess Naomi-Joy Blackhall and Toronto belter Scarlett Burke when asked at the beginning of the show which women they would send home.

When asked which male singers would be on their way, judges Jake Gold and Farley Flex both named B.C. crooner Clifton Murray, but missed the mark when they chose Halifax rocker Dwight d'Eon - who landed in the bottom four, but did receive few enough votes to be eliminated.

Also ending his Canadian Idol run was Sarnia singer-songwriter Andrew Austin, who wowed the judges during this week's performance (the first-ever where a competitor on the show accompanied themselves with an instrument) but landed in the bottom four for the second week in a row.

"I have a lot of music going on outside this show," Andrew said when the results were announced. "I hope you people will keep looking for me. Thanks for having me on. I had a really amazing time."

"Andrew... certainly knows who he is," noted Zack, adding the rest of those who were eliminated might not have resonated with the Canadian public. "The people who are staying are good choices: people who made a decision to stand for something, to represent something they'll be if they had a career. I think Canada knocked one out of the park."

Once the results were announced, Naomi-Joy explained why she thought she'd lost her spot.

"I think the two songs I sang weren't as recognizable to the voting public," she said.

The judges had touched on this when critiquing her obscure first-week choice, and many of brought it up again when offering advice to the remaining competitors.

"The song's got to have some relationship to who you are and who you want to be as an artist," said Farley. "It's got to be relevant to the Canadian public and it's got to have an element of risk so you can show yourself and the public what your potential really is."

"A lot of what this show is about is song choice," said Jake. "If they want to be singers, they have to be writers at some point in their career."

"Guys, if you pick the right song, you will give the right performance," added Sass.

Scarlett had taken some heat for her choice of CCR's "Proud Mary" the night earlier, but when asked if she had any regrets, she simply said she "had a good time and... sang (her) heart out for everybody."

Hamilton's Brian Melo, Toronto's Mila Miller and Montreal's Khalila Glanville also hit bottom three status but breathed sighs of relief after learning they'd be back onstage for at least one more week.

In his turn to say goodbye, Clifton graciously reminded viewers that they still have lots to look forward to.

"I want to thank everyone for voting," he said. "Last night I didn't breathe and kind of choked. These guys are solid so you've got a lot to look out for."

See what songs the men of the Top 14 have in store on Monday, July 9 at 9 p.m. on CTV.

WeLoveBigBrother.com has discovered some interesting information about this year's Head of Household bedroom.

According to this exclusive video only on WLBB, on premiere night the HOH room will not serve as the HOH room.

"I definitely can't show you anything right now, cause it looks nothing like the HOH room," Julie said in the video. "And that's because on premiere night, it doesn't serve that purpose. Why? You'll have to tune in to find out."

Could this mean it's being used for a competition or yet another twist to the game?

Janie Speaks About BB8 Houseguests

Our beloved Janie talks about the houseguests of Big Brother 8:

Ever wonder what some of the former HGs might think of the current ones? Well, a bulletin went out on myspace a little while ago from our friend Laura, whom many of you know as Popples. In it she quoted her friend Deb, who had occasion to speak with Janie from seasons 6 & 7. What follows is the bulletin in it's entirety. Enjoy.Hi Laura, Janie had a chat and this is what she said, Will told her this, kind of interesting... I'll be keeping an eye on this girl. I'm adding other things Janie said about BB also...July 1st"She said today the HG's would be going into the house and the first day walk around they house like an idiot and have your first dinner and hohShe wanted to know if we had seen Laremy's predictions on Jokers???? Said he is way off.Janelle said the house this year is her favorite. Then suggested that it is nicer because they have a bigger budget as they aren't shelling out 2 grand a week for HG's. They have to give $700 for new houseguestsJanelle loves the new cast and said that she can't wait to pick out an amazing dress for the wrap party and meet the cast . So far she wants to meet Dani (a fellow blonde bombshell) and Mike because he is super hot.'She asked who are favorites HG's are so far. Someone said Nick and she said she likes Nick too but hopes he is not meathead!!!Janie said she and Will are still friends and he keeps talking about the ringer he put in the game. She said the ringer is Jen. Will told her to watch for a t-shirt and she had a t-shirt with a slogan on it. He has given her other hints too so Janelle is sure it is Jen. Will also has told her things like "I will see you in the BB House this summer."She thinks it is cool that Dick and Dani know each and thinks they probably have a pre-game alliance. her favorite HG's are Dani, Mike, and Dick (Dick only because she met him, she knows he will play good and he is a big fan of the game.) Someone told her Mike was gay and she wanted to know why all the good looking guys are gayShe said she is getting the feeds and will be totally addicted. Also reconfirmed that she is doing HC at the end of July.Talking more about the the HG's she said she thinks Joe is going to be America's player and that they are going to want him to flirt with guys. Said Howie did that and he didn't even get paid. In discussing who would get evicted first, Janelle said she used to think Kail but she recognized her from the BB6 auditions and knows she is a big fan of the game. So like Dick she will probably do well. Janelle predicted that Carol or Jessica will be the first one voted out. She said it is always a woman that is the first out because they are easy targets especially when they can't work together. She said if they were a bunch of ugly chicks like in BB6, the could work together but since their are no hags in the bunch, we should expect cat fights. Someone mentioned she was able to work with Sarah and Rachel and Janelle responded, I know ... I was calling the Nerd Herd Fugly. Said she was able to work with Rachel and Sarah out of necessityJanie talked a little more about Jen as the CT ringer. She said Will and Boogie just want her to mention Chilltown. If she tanks they won't want anything to do with her, but if she does well they will tell everyone they won three times. She doesn't think Boogie and Jen had sex. She thinks they just want to try to help her be popular or win something ... said "who knows? You know Will and his cryptic messages (he does them to me too)." She told us to watch out for her t-shirts with slogans on them because she is supposed to be wearing them. They won't be restaurant advertisements thought just slogans like "Jenius" and CT. She asked how Will and Boogie got their ringer on, and she said she doesn't know the details: only the very little she has been told. But she said Jen would not need help to get on the show.

Executive Producer Allison Grodner Talks About What is Going On In the House Right Now

When it comes to the 'America's Player' twist, 'Big Brother' executive producer Allison Grodner is making a heart-felt apology to Canadian fans of the Global Television - CBS summer reality show.
"We didn't mean to offend Canadians. This is really everybody's player," Grodner told GlobalTV.com as she continued to supervise the live happenings from the secluded 'Big Brother' house in California.
Selected by the producers during the casting of 'Big Brother 8', 'America's Player' will have their actions in the house and in the game controlled by the audience through a poll at the end of every episode. Viewers will be able to cast their ballots via their cell phones or the 'Big Brother 8' site at CBS.com.
"My guess is that the Internet will be the way that people in Canada can have their say. We are certainly not trying to exclude any of our viewers so we will call this...the 'Canadian-American Player'," said Grodner chuckling.
While two of the weekly polls will be strategic in nature -- asking viewers who the 'America's Player' should target for a nomination and whom they should vote to evict -- the third poll on Sunday's show will be for fun. For that poll, viewers might be asked who 'America's Player' should start a showmance with or who they should have a meaningful conversation with. If the player makes it to the final seven, the viewers will also have a vote on the 'Big Brother 8' jury.
"The viewers will have a vote every week so that's a big deal. It is the most interactive we have ever been," commented Grodner.
For every five tasks the 'America's Player' completes, they will get a cash bonus. While the other HouseGuests won't know about the 'America's Player' twist until that person is voted out or wins the game, their identity will be revealed to the audience on the debut of 'Big Brother 8' this Thursday night.
"We are really happy with whom this is. We think this person will do a terrific job," said Grodner.
Having to produce three episodes a week means that Grodner has to get a jump on the action. To do so each year, the players have to enter the house and the 'Big Brother' game must begin before the television debut. It may surprise some viewers to discover that the 'Big Brother 8' HouseGuests are already battling for the $50,000 U.S. grand prize.
"Believe it or not, but in television time, our HouseGuests may not be in the house but here, they are already in the house. The game has begun. The game is on," said an excited Grodner who has added responsibility this year since former producer Arnold Shapiro opted not to return. "This show is always stressful. I have to say that no matter what, it is a ton of work. I don't think people out there really can appreciate what it is to put three almost live shows on the air, every week, all summer long and to have these people go live to the Internet 24/7."
In speaking to GlobalTV.com, Grodner was quick to clear up another misconception: Not everyone in the house will be a part of the "rival or enemy" twist. The twist of having to deal with a real life foe in the house will only apply to some of the players.
"There are past relationships that will surprise some of them on opening night. Not all of them will have a past relationship but some of them will and nobody knows any of this when they walk into the house. We will see how this plays out as this is like the 'X Factor' from four years ago," she explained. "You know the old saying...Keep your friends close and your enemies closer? Well, let's see how that plays out this summer. "Expect the Unexpected" doesn't just go for the audience, it goes for us, the producers, too."
Promising there are more twists to come this season, Grodner gave GlobalTV.com a rundown of some of the standout players thus far.
Joe: "He is terrifically funny and very, very bright. He is a good gameplayer because he is a student of the show. He is incredibly manipulative."
Jemeka: "She has been very isolated, actually. She is from a part of Maryland where she has not been exposed to white people. She really hasn't had any white friends and now she is in a house full of white people. It should be interesting. She is funny and gutsy. She will be really fun to watch."
Nick: "Nick is the hunk of the house for sure. He is a former football player and walks around with his shirt off all the time. I am watching him on the live feeds right now. Wow! The girls are sure to enjoy him. He is not your typical California or Florida dude. He is from Minnesota so he has an accent like y'all do up there. It is adorable."
Kail: "We have a mom who is a business owner from a small town in Oregon. Her values are definitely more conservative than a lot of the people who usually go into the 'Big Brother' house."
Dick is a rocker dad. He was a stand-in for Keith Richards in the last 'Pirates' movie. He's got lots of tats and piercings. You are going to think that Tommy Lee just walked into the house. That will be a shock for the HouseGuests."

Here Comes The Bride - Hell's Kitchen Episode #5

Ok, so tonight looked like it would be a good one and it was. The contestants had to cater a wedding.

Hell's Kitchen 3's fifth episode began with Josh Wahler, a 26-year-old junior sous chef from Miami Beach, FL, explaining how he felt he "did not deserve" to be nominated for elimination by Rock Harper, a 30-year-old executive chef from Spotsylvania, VA, following the last dinner service. It was the second time Rock had nominated Josh for elimination, and gave the reason that Josh "tries to go so fast sometimes" and he "trips" himself up. "Josh is the worst of us," said Rock. "He doesn't have a chance unless I fall flat on my face." While Brad Miller, a 25-year-old sous chef from Scottsdale, AZ, was trying to remind Josh and Rock that they were all a team, Bonnie Muirhead, a 26-year-old nanny and personal chef from Los Angeles, CA, felt like the "elephant in the room" out of the four remaining women. Melissa described Bonnie as a "failure ready to happen," a sentiment that Bonnie didn't think was too far from the truth. "Maybe I just don't have what it takes to be here," she said. The next morning, the seven remaining wannabe chefs and restaurateurs were ushered outside of Hell's Kitchen's restaurant where Gordon informed them they'd be cooking for a wedding reception during the upcoming dinner service challenge, which Bonnie realized was a "once in a lifetime event" and was nervous about screwing it up. But before they began cooking, Gordon informed them each team would receive $100 and have 30 minutes to buy food to prepare an appetizer, fish plate and meat dish for the reception.

Dick's son confirms the Danielle/Dick connection

This is from Dick's myspace blog:

"Hi everyone! This is Dicks son Vincent. He left me in charge of his myspace account while he is gone to help keep is friends updated with what is going on.

http://www.cbs.com/primetime/bigbrother8/

At this point my sister Daniele is also in the house, but neither of them know the other one is in [the house] yet.

I will be ignoring all friend requests and messages but will be responding to replies to bulletins."

According to the comments on the blog he was given permission to announce the details.

Possible info on America's Player

CornerOffice8 on realitybbq.com has a thread with info on BB8 including information about America's Player. This is a spoiler, so head here for more info.

Jameka speculation

According to sites on the net, such as Reality TV Insider and Reality BBQ, the Queenmicka myspace belongs to BB contestant Jameka and its location info was changed. Consider this, THIS myspace belonging to CBE, (who is in the education field in Upper Marlboro, MD) has Queenmicka on her friend list. Further, Princess Kimberly's myspace has a comment made by Queenmicka, signed "Jamicka". A google search for Queenmicka reveals this information. Sound like alot of coincidence? I think so too. Stay tuned for more as it develops.
