~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

10:35am (PST) - Jen is up and in the bathroom, getting ready for the day. Big Brother announces, "Houseguests, the food competition will be in one hour." Dick and Zach are in the kitchen talking about The Love Boat and Dick starts to sing. Jameka and Eric are still sleeping. Jen goes to the kitchen to fix herself something to eat.

11:30am (PST) - Most of the houseguests are up and getting ready for the day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FOOD COMPETITION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


1:50pm (PST) - Big Brother calls for an indoor lockdown (probably to clean up the Food Comp). The Food Competition was a larger version of the beer pong game they've been playing every night for the last couple weeks.

In the bedroom (with the little beds), Jameka is struggling to get the knot out of her toga. Amber walks up beside her and angrily says, "I just know she is!" (possibly about the nominations). Amber and Jameka both look very unhappy.

Daniele is in the HOH room, wearing a toga and a crown of grape leaves. Zach comes in and they discuss the Food Competition. Zach says, "You were doing good. Your accuracy was on! Every time you were throwing, me and Dick were saying, 'she's gonna throw,' 'it's down to one,' and then 'oh man' and 'I hope she misses, but she's really good.'" Daniele responds, "I was, like...'cause if I wasn't HOH, I would have been on that team. It was all four of you guys that play all the time, and then me, with three people who never play." Zach says, "And Eric won it."

2:00pm (PST) - In the kitchen, Eric and Jen are talking about the Dining room table. It's smaller now, as there are only eight people left in the house. They wonder if Jameka played football in her past. Zach says, "When I hit that beef thing, I was stoked. I thought they'd do one where it was days of the week, instead of individuals on slop for a week." Zach mentions to Jen that Daniele's real birthday is on Sunday. Eric is making a grilled cheese for Zach, and maybe one for himself. As Daniele is walking back up the spiral staircase, she jokes that this week there will be no keys in the box. She says, "I nominate all of you. Big Brother said it's alright. That's the twist!"

2:15pm (PST) - Jameka and Jen are excercising in the Workout room. Jen asks Jameka, "Do you have any idea who Daniele will put up?" and Jameka says she doesn't. They talk about how to set up the machines.

Zach and Eric are in the kitchen, eating their grilled cheese, talking about the Food Competition. They talk about their friends and family watching the show. Both Eric and Zach have fathers who are doctors. Zach says his father is a dentist. Zach says he had never seen Big Brother until his grandmother got him into it last season. Eric explains to Zach about there being websites out there where they have people watching every channel of the live feeds and transcribing everything that's going on. Eric says that since he was doing naked jumping jacks last night, it's probably all over the internet by now.

2:50pm (PST) - The indoor lockdown is over. Daniele and Jen have showered and fixed their hair and make-up. They're almost ready for the nomination ceremony.

3:30pm (PST) - Eric and Jen are in the backyard talking about nomination possibilities and re-hashing the reasons why things went down the way they did this week.

In the kitchen, Zach laments that the new kitchen table is too small to play beer pong on. Zach said he complained in the Diary Room and they told him, "Beer pong was all played out anyway."

4:30pm (PST) - Jessica, Jameka, and Amber are sleeping, then Jameka gets called to the Diary Room.

Zach tries to bake cookies and screws them up. Daniele says the cookies look like poo, so they thought it would be funny to leave them in the toilet - to look like someone didn't flush. They left some cookie poo on the seat and on the toilet paper. Dick is the first to discover the prank and says, "I hope someone's playing." Daniele, playing dumb, asks, "What's wrong." Dick says, "Did you see the toilet? Is it chocolate or is it shit?" Jameka didn't appreciate the joke, as she was left to clean it up.

5:15pm (PST) - Big Brother calls for an outdoor lockdown.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOMINATION CEREMONY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


6:40pm (PST) - Jameka is on the couch outside the HOH room. She doesn't look like she's crying, but she doesn't look well. Dick walks past Jameka and asks if she's alright. She answers, "Yes," with a touch of sarcasm in her voice.

Eric and Jessica are whispering and seem very pleased with the results of the nominations.

Amber is getting out of the shower and goes to the bedroom (with the tall beds), where Eric, Jessica, and Jen are cheerfully whispering. Amber doesn't speak to any of them. Eric asks Jessica if she's happy with the way things worked out and she says, "Yes."

Dick, Daniele, and Zach are at the Breakfast bar talking - everyone seems happy.

7:00pm (PST) - Jen is in the bedroom (with the round beds), talking to Eric and Jessica through the door. Eric brings up the mustard incident, saying it was pinned on him, even though he didn't do it. Jen agrees. Then they talk about their visitors from the other day. Dick keeps closing the bedroom door, so Jen can't talk to Jessica and Eric. Eric jokes about Jessica being in sequester for three weeks, waiting for him, before he shows up. She jokingly says she's not going to vote for him to win.

In the kitchen, Zach and Daniele are talking - general chit chat. Then, no talking at all. (Can anyone say, "Awkkkkkward!") Zach asks, "Oh, Nick. What would you do?" and Daniele replies, "Swim in the hot tub."

Daniele tells Dick she'd like to go to her room, but she doesn't want to pass Jameka "laying there looking like death." She says she's not staying up too late tonight because she's tired. Dick wants to touch up his hair tonight. Daniele whines, "Go ask Amber to help you. I'm soooo tired." A little while later Daniele decides to face Jameka and go to her room for a nap. She tells Dick to wake her in an hour or so, if he wants her to help with his hair. Dick says, "It's okay." Daniele walks past Jameka and says, "I'm sorry. It's not personal." Jameka responds with an insincere tone, "Well, thanks for giving me the chance to play for veto."

7:30pm (PST) - Amber and Jameka are in the backyard, on the hammock, talking about why they are up. Amber says, "I think Daniele is full of shit. I think God did this for a reason, to see how strong we are. She put us up for only one reason. She wants me out of the game because she considers me a threat." Amber says there is no way they want Jameka out because she cannot play for HOH. Jameka says, "Jessica wants Dick and Danielle out." Amber disagrees, "No, Jameka. They are playing us." Jameka starts to talk about how this isn't her life and it doesn't define who she is. She says, "Who cares? It is pre determined." Amber says, "Listen. The odds are against us, but we do have a strong alliance of four." (I don't know what she means by 'alliance of four.' Maybe three, if you count God...but four?) Amber says, "Eric and Jessica are in a alliance with Dick and Danielle." Jameka says, "I know this is a game, but there's a reason that the people who always win are evil. I just thought that this time it could be different." They talk about strategy for the week. Amber says that Dick, Daniele, Eric, and Jessica have a plan to get themselves to the final four and that she thinks both her and Jameka will be safe this week. Amber says they are both safe, because she had a vision. Amber thinks that she is the target this week because they are all afraid of her and don't want to be in the final two with her because she has a daughter, she cleans, and she gets along with everyone. They discuss who will go up if one of them wins POV and come up with all kinds of conspiracy theories.

9:00pm (PST) - Amber and Zach are in the hammock talking about her playing in the POV tomorrow. She says, "Whatever happens, it was supposed to happen." Zach says, "I'm a firm believer that you are in control of your own destiny. That's why God gave you free will." He goes on to tell her that she shouldn't give up, that this is her chance to show everyone that she didn't need Dustin after all. He basically is giving her a pep talk telling her that it's not over yet.

9:15pm (PST) - Jessica and Eric are at the hot tub - Jessica is sitting by, while Eric is in the hot tub - they are laughing and teasing each other. They mention again about when they're "eighty together" in the future - Jessica jokes, "I'll be eighty. You'll be ninety." Eric retorts, "I just keep getting older and older. Last time, I was eighty-five. Now I'm ninety." Dick and Jen are on the patio chatting with Eric and Jessica.

Jessica goes into the house to the kitchen to clean her slipper. Her and Jameka talk about the ants in the kitchen, then they go their separate ways.

Outside, Dick runs across the yard and jumps into the pool. He dives under a couple times and Zach asks if it's cold. Dick says, "Not really. It's not that bad." Over the loudspeaker, "Dick...Stop that." Dick says, "Aww, come on...What?"

Zach leaves Amber in the hammock and Jameka joins her. Amber tells Jameka everything that Zach just told her and immediatly Jameka says, "He told me that, too, by the way. But go on." Amber makes a face and they make fun of him a little bit, like about him not being as religious as them and some of the things he said to both of them. Over the loudspeaker, "Amber...Please go to the Diary Room." Amber says she will be back, gets up and quietly says something to Jameka. As she's walking away she tells Jameka, "I wouldn't steer you wrong, girl."

9:30pm (PST) - Zach, Eric, and Dick are in the hot tub - they are laughing and having a good time. Jen and Jessica are on the patio talking - general chit chat. Eric yells, "Well, ladies here are your choices of men in the house. You voted out the hunky guys." The five of them joke and laugh. Dick goes over to the pool again and dives in. Over the loudspeaker, "Dick...Stop that." They all joke. Zach yells, "Dick, you're becoming a liability." Over the loudspeaker, "Thank you." Dick gets back into the hot tub. General chit chat continues. Dick gets out of the hot tub and walks over to the pool and, when he's halfway there, over the loudspeaker, "Dick...Stop that." Zach comes over and gets in the pool and walks around a little bit. Dick is standing on the edge, with his back to the pool, over the loudspeaker, "Dick." Dick says, "Whaaaat? Is this okay?" and he eases into the pool slowly. The three guys are in the hot tub again. Dick yells over to Jessica, "Since when do you miss a hot tubbing?" Jessica says, "I know. I'm just becoming a new woman all the time." Dick gets in the pool again, and comes back to the hot tub.

9:45pm (PST) - Jessica tells Jen that she's going over to talk to Jameka to see how she's doing - Jameka has been in the hammock the whole time, not talking to anyone. Jessica asks how she's doing and Jameka says she's not trying to think about stuff tonight. At first she was mad, now she is just confused. She says she doesn't want to think about stuff, but she can't help but think about it. Jameka says she wasn't really surprised by all that's happened. She says she's been learning a lot of things lately - a lot of things are going on in her mind. Jameka says, "At least I know what it feels like now." Jameka asks if she pulls a houseguest choice ball, would Jessica play for her and Jessica says, "Sure. No problem." Jameka says that she's just trying to grasp the whole idea of the game and differentiating between people and how they are acting because they want the money, etc. Jessica and Jameka talk about how mean Dick is to Jen and some of the other houseguests. They both say they are at the point where they are like "I don't know what's going on in here." Talk turns to the POV Competition tomorrow and how crazy it is that they have no idea, until the last minute, what the competition is. They say how different it actually is when you are there in the house, instead of just watching it on TV. Jameka says, "I sure do wish they would get the America's Choice stuff started. I don't know what's going on with that." Jessica says, "Maybe they're not doing it this year." Jameka says, "Yeah. That true. Something's got to happen this week. Something good." (This was particularly funny...If they only knew.)

10:00pm (PST) - Jameka and Jessica talk about where the sequester house is and where Dustin is right now. Jameka asks if Jessica thinks it will be a sloppy competition or not. Jessica talks about how much she likes to go to toga parties and how unique everyone's toga is [at her college parties]. Jameka admits she's never done that, but it sounds like fun. Jameka talks about "Amber's vision about later in the game with Dick still in the house." They talk about the Food Competition earlier today and Jameka goes through all the happenings of the day. She says that Daniele came to her after the Nomination Ceremony and asked her how she was doing and told her that if she wanted to talk, she was there for her. Jameka doesn't know if she [Daniele] really feels that way or if it's just game, "I just don't know if she is genuine or not. It's hard to tell." They talk about their fortunes from yesterday.

Jen is brushing her teeth on the balcony upstairs. She is deep in thought. She comes down the stairs and goes straight to the Food Storage Room, still brushing her teeth, and starts to talk to herself, but the sound is muted out.

Dick is finishing in the shower and asking Jen about a can of nuts that she hoarded. Zach, Dick, and Jen joke around a little bit, then they all go their separate ways. Over the loudspeaker, "Jen...Please exchange your microphone for one in the Storage Room."

10:15pm (PST) - Jameka and Jessica are still talking, just general chit chat.

Zach, Eric, and Jen are at the Breakfast bar and Dick comes in from the bathroom. Dick tells Jen, "Why don't you go take a nap now? And, when you wake up, don't be upset if your eyelids are sticky." Jen says, "You guys are gross. I'm going out with the girls." Jen goes outside and joins Jameka and Jessica. She tells them the boys are getting antsy and starting to do things out of boredom. Jessica sighs, "Ugh...Boys." Over the loudspeaker, "Jameka...Please come to the Diary Room." Jameka gets up and goes.

Eric and Amber go into the bedroom (with the round beds). Amber says she's doing fine - she's on slop, she's up on the block, and she just lost her best friend - but she's doing fine. (Note the sarcasm.) Eric is explaining to her the reason for the vote and that he had a really hard time with it. He says that it was a last-minute decision and thought it was a risk, but he thought it needed to be done at this time, "There are certain things that need to happen...in the game...at certain times." He says that this was, personally, the hardest choice he's made in the game. Amber says that she doesn't blame anyone for Dustin not being here now, "I just don't have it in me to be like that." She says, "The only thing that makes me sad is that it was Dustin's vote that kept you here last week." Eric says, "I know. I am aware of that. It was great for him, as a friend, to do that." He continues to agree with her about Dustin's vote. Amber says she's handling this a lot better than she thought she would. Eric agrees and tells her they just had to take a big risk to shake things up in the game and he hopes it works out, because it might not.

10:30pm (PST) - Amber and Eric are still talking about the same thing - The conversation is going in circles. Amber starts crying when she says, "It just sucks. I have no one in the house now...I mean...there's Jameka...but that's not the same." Eric explains that he felt like he just had to come and talk to Amber and Jameka and explain to them himself why he did what he did. He reiterates the risk of doing this, etc. He's talking in circles again. Jen comes in and they all talk for a little while. Jen leaves; Eric and Amber continue their talk about the game. Eric tells her that everyone made their own choice and everyone thought that Dustin was dangerous to them in some way. Amber says it's good that her and Jameka are going through this week together, on slop and on the block. She AGAIN says that she "just feels so alone in the house now." Eric says he hates how everyone in the house thinks that when you have a conversation that lasts more than five minutes, they must have a deal.

11:00pm (PST) - Eric and Amber are still talking; now it's about how different they would all be toward each other outside the house. Eric talks about he had the disqualification during the HOH Competition [that Jessica won]. He talks about how frustrating the game has been for him - he hasn't competed in a single POV Competition yet - he thinks he won the first HOH Competition [that Kail won], because he was the one that answered all the questions - and then the disqualification in the other HOH Competition. Eric starts to talk to Amber on a more personal level and tells her how he really did feel kind of bad about doing that to Dustin, Amber and Jameka [referring to the vote]. He says he wouldn't blame Amber or the other two for being upset with him, but he hopes it doesn't turn out that way. Eric says he really thought he would have an easy time with this game and he thinks he's done really bad in the game so far. Jen comes in and says she wants to lay down and Eric asks if they can have a few more minutes. He tells Amber that he really doesn't have a deal with Dick and Daniele and, "Who knows? Maybe I'll be backdoored this week. I don't know." Eric says he just wanted to explain things to her and he hopes that things are a little better for her now. He says, "I'm proud of you. You're doing really well." Amber says, "Probably everyone thought I would be a mess, but I'm doing pretty good."

11:15pm (PST) - Eric and Amber finally break up (after an hour!) and Eric goes to find Jameka so he can talk to her for a while.

Zach and Jessica are in the backyard, playing frisbee. Dick is on the patio.

Eric and Jameka are in the bedroom (with the round beds) and Eric is proceeding with the speech he just gave Amber. Jameka is doing her "Mmm Hmm" bit, while Eric explains that it was "purely a strategic decision, nothing personal." He says he's not sure if she felt this way but, "there was a certain uneasiness surrounding Dustin and everyone felt it across the board." Jameka only says, "Mmm Hmm." He tells her that he felt like he was on the outside last week with Jameka, Amber, Dustin. Eric tells Jameka that he felt like Dustin was becoming more and more of a threat very quickly and he [Eric] didn't feel like Dustin made him "feel a part of that." He says, "He was becoming stronger and he's a good player. It was purely strategic." Eric pretty much says he still wants to be friends, that it was not personal, but he "came here to play this game."

11:30pm (PST) - Dick and Jessica are talking on the patio about the deal the four of them made. Jessica says she has not had a problem with either Dick or Daniele throughout this game. Dick is talking about how exhausted Daniele is and how she's probably sleeping right now. He says the door is locked right now and she didn't do that the last time she was HOH. He tells Jessica about Jen's rude comment from earlier when they saw the HOH room, "There are no pictures from your boyfriend and no letters. You know what that means, don't you?" Dick says that really pissed him off when she said that. He says, "How the fuck would she know? They're probably just promoting their little showmance that they had. There isn't supposed to be any contact from the outside...I don't know." He tells Jessica that all of this is really hard for Daniele and she's having a hard time right now because Daniele had told him early in the game that this game is "not going to change her life, it's going to ruin her life." Jen comes out and joins them. She tells them that she has walked in on Eric and Jameka three times already, she just wants to do laundry. Dick, Jessica, and Jen talk about how much it sucks to be HOH, "It's not all it's cracked up to be." They talk about how much drama there has been in the house and how there would be no time to have a double eviction week. They say this week is obviously not a double eviction week.

11:45pm (PST) - Eric and Jameka are still talking in the bedroom (with the round beds) about the game. They are talking about who has who's votes.

Jessica and Jen talk about how shocked Julie Chen's face was when she revealed the vote - her mouth dropped open. They all think they probably cut that from TV. Jessica leaves and Jen and Dick start talking about how Eric and Jameka are using their room to talk and Jen wants to do laundry. Dick says, "So, do laundry. It's our room." General chit chat follows. Jen tells Dick that he wakes her up sometimes because he grinds his teeth and, "it's not just that it's annoying, it's bad for your teeth. You need to take care of that." Jessica comes back out with some watermelon and they all talk about how small the watermelons are in the house. They all agree that Dustin's two biggest changes in the house were when Joe left and after he won HOH. Dick talks about how much of a joke Howie was from Season six and All Stars. He says, "He had no business being in All Stars. All he did in Season six was slide through with his alliance and all he did on All starts was stalk Will."

12:00am (PST) - Eric’s been talking to Jameka trying to get her to feel better about flipping the vote. After an hour, Eric and Jameka break up and go their separate ways. Eric goes to enjoy a soak in the hot tub with Jessica and Jen. Jen asks Jessica who she thinks pulled the mustard prank and Jessica says she'll find out at the wrap party and probably won't care. Jen wonders if CBS will fly the families out for the party. Jen says she hopes she's still in good standing with her job and her life. They reminisce about past competitions - Jessica liked the Christmas one, saying, "Today was freakin' cool." Jen says she needs rest to win the POV and says maybe it will get people mad winning too many things. Jessica retorts, "No way. As long as it saves yourself...who cares?"

1:00am (PST) - Jameka goes to Amber to fill her in on the conversation she had with Eric. Afterward, Amber lays back down in bed and goes to sleep.

Outside, Eric is joking with Dick and giving a new version of the talk with Amber and Jameka, saying what Dick would want to hear.

2:10am (PST) - It seems like everyone is asleep except for Eric and Dick. They've been on the patio, talking, for a couple hours. Eric has been relaying to Dick how excited he has been the past few days. Dick talks about how Eric was grasping at his last straw, then he stayed, and Jessica won HOH. He says the same thing happened to Dick, that he surprisingly stayed, and minutes later, Daniele won HOH. Eric says this is the liveliest he's felt in the house and he's having a lot of fun now. They speculate on a possible twist still to come. They think something is going to happen soon. Eric tells Dick they have taken a lot of big threats out of the game. Dick states that his HOH was a mistake because they got rid of Mike, someone who wasn't doing anything. Eric considers what would have happened if some of the people, who were evicted, were to have stayed and played in the competitions. They rehash the POV Competition where Mike basically asked to go up on the block, saying they didn't understand that move. Now onto Kail bashing. Dick states that Kail was a bad player for spilling all the information to their group. Now on to Carol, saying she thought she deserved the royal treatment. Eric says Carol was the single worst player in Big Brother history - with Ashlea, from Big Brother 6, being second. Dick says if she hadn't tried turning on her seductive ways, Carol would have stayed, and Amber would have left. Eric says Carol still would have been gone within the first few weeks. They Carol bash a little longer. Daniele is up now, joining Eric and Dick outside. She says she's awake now [as if it's 8:00 in the morning]. Eric's now rehashing his conversations with Amber and Jameka to Daniele.

3:50am (PST) - Eric, Dick, and Daniele are still rehashing stories and trash talking about the other houseguests for over an hour and a half. Eric gets up and goes to bed, Daniele returns to the HOH room, and Dick stays up and talks to himself for a while.

4:30am (PST) - Dick goes to bed.
