73rd night - Monday

8:50am (PST) - Dick gets up for the second time and goes outside to smoke. All other houseguests are in bed sleeping.

9:10am (PST) - Dick lights another cigarette and files his nails. He goes over and folds some laundry, complaining that the dryer is a "piece of shit." He puts away the towels and lights up a third cigarette.

9:30am (PST) - Dick goes back to bed. All other houseguests are still sleeping.

12:00pm (PST) - Big Brother announces, "Dick.. Jameka.. Zach.. Daniele.. Please change your batteries." Dick tells them, "Fuck off! I changed mine already." Jameka also says, "I changed mine already."

12:30pm (PST) - Jameka sits outside and eats a bowl of cereal with Zach. Zach says, "I keep thinking about Dick's bullshit when he falls off the endurance thing." Jameka asks, "You already have a plan for that?" Zach responds, "Yeah. You know he's going to be trying to intimidate me. That's his whole game.. Intimidation. I hope while he's intimidating me, something in his brain pops and he dies..." Jameka interupts, "Now Zach.." Zach says, "Just kidding. I'm going to do what no one else in this house could do.. Split those two up."

12:45pm (PST) - Zach tells Jameka he's still going to try to win this game and says, "I've done all the dirty work to get to this point." Jameka says, "Hmmm hmmm." Zach says if he goes up against Dick in a trivia contest about former houseguests, he'll win by a landslide because Dick doesn't know anything about anyone. If he plays the trivia against Daniele, it could go either way. Zach thinks it'll be stuff like where they are from, birthdates, etc.

1:45pm (PST) - Jameka has been doing a lot of housework. Zach's been in the HOH room, listening to music. The Donato's are still sleeping.

1:55pm (PST) - Big Brother announces, "I said.. It's time to get up for the day!" Daniele goes to the bathroom to do her hair and get herself together. Zach goes to the Workout Room and gets on the treadmill.

3:00pm (PST) - Daniele and Zach are sitting on the Living Room couches and Jameka walks through [looking like she's going out to tan]. They are waiting for Dick to get out of the Diary Room. Daniele says, "I will go in assuming they're going to do the Veto meeting today. It's always been done on Monday." Zach tells Daniele his CD has some pretty good songs on it, saying it's a very good CD and the women's vocals are good, but never offers to let her listen to it.

3:15pm (PST) - Jameka is in the bathroom, putting on makeup and brushing her teeth. Zach is in the Kitchen and Dick comes in from the backyard. Zach asks, "Are you okay?" and Dick gives a very short, "Fine," and goes to the bathroom and says hi to Jameka.

3:30pm (PST) - Dick tells Daniele to come out to the backyard and they go outside. [He doesn't seem to be very happy.] Daniele says, "This last week is going to be different. Expect the unexpected. This is good though." Dick worries about his speech.

4:00pm (PST) - Big Brother has called an indoor lockdown. Jameka and Zach are in the HOH room. Zach asks Jameka if it snows where she lives and she answers, "Yeah." He asks, "So, you can build snowmen and stuff?" They continue to talk about weather.

Dick and Daniele are in the round room talking about the mysterious blue ball that ended up in Jameka's tube during the "Niagra Balls" POV Competition. Dick wonders if Zach put the ball in the tube, but if that was the case, why wouldn't they have that on tape and tell her. Daniele thinks it bounced into the tube, but then why isn't Big Brother telling them? Dick says, "They didn't show the tube all the time.. They would be focusing.." They go to the Kitchen to make something to eat.

4:05pm (PST) - The indoor lockdown is over. Dick comments, "Oh, okay. So, they moved the giraffe back." He goes to the Food Storage Room and gets a loaf of bread. Dick asks Daniele, "You think they're having a bible study?" Daniele responds, "Shut up." They are still in the Kitchen talking about who [on the Jury] they should have taken out earlier. Daniele says, "Dustin will be like, I told you.. Don't trust the Donato's." Then she asks, "What do you think they're talking about? I bet Zach is talking and Jameka will be, just like, 'Mmmm hmmm hmmm' as usual." Dick replies, "Yeah.." They talk about how they will use the money they got from Big Brother. Dick makes a proposal to Daniele to take her to Europe and spend some time together.

4:20pm (PST) - Dick and Daniele talk about life after the show. Daniele says she wants to go back to her life for a few days, then be alone. Dick says he'd like to celebrate with her. She says, "I need a vacation." Dick asks how she thinks the ratings were for this season. She says, "I already told you, that I was told, it's one of the best seasons. If not the best, then one of the best." Dick asks, "Really!?" She says someone had told her on her trip "I like your dad. He's ... entertaining."

4:30pm (PST) - Jameka and Zach are still in the HOH room. They rehash the season and Zach says something about how he honestly didn't think he would've made it to the Final Two without them. Jameka says, "You have to do whatever you have to do." Zach thinks his situation is similar to Janelle's last year, when no one wanted to take her to the Final Two, because they couldn't win against her. He feels like he's in that position where he has to fight his butt off to win and it didn't work for her, but he hopes it'll work for him. Zach knows how Jameka must feel, like she's still so close to the end of the tunnel. Jameka says she still sees light because anything can happen in this game. Zach hopes he can take one of them down and make it to the end, but he would hate to take Daniele to the end because she's won everything. Jameka tells him, "Just go over your points in your head about how you've played and compare it with how she's played." He says if he had tried harder in the competitions he would have won more, but it was power he didn't want to have then. He would rather have someone else take that power at that point, not him. He thinks it says a lot to whoever's on the Jury that he's still standing at the end because he's fought his butt off. If he takes one of them down, everyone on the Jury will know that he did it. It wasn't their choice, it was his choice. He can see Dustin and Eric both saying, "Man, that's a good competition if you pull it off like that." Jameka points out, "You have to look at who went home on their hands." Zach says, "Yeah.. Dustin, Jen, Amber, Eric, Jessica, and you." Zach points out that if you think about it, everyone went home because of them. Zach sent Eric home with a vote, but acknowledges if Eric had spent more time with him in the first five weeks he would've had a better chance with Zach. Eric didn't speak a word to him until day forty and he came to Zach when he needed a vote. At that time, Zach didn't know anything about him and Eric said a lot of stuff about Zach and he doesn't even know why. Jameka comments on how Eric held people to their word - that once he had their word, they couldn't back out on it and why not? Zach says he's grateful that he [Zach] didn't break his word on anything in the game. They talk about "The Shawshank Redemption" and move on to other Morgan Freeman movies.

5:20pm (PST) - Daniele says, "I'm so bored. I can't believe I woke up for this." Dick goes over the order of POV, HOH, and Evictions to be ready for what he thinks will be the second competition. He says, "It's always about the order of how things went down." When he gets to Jameka in the order of Evictions, Daniele jokes, "Or you," and he smiles and says, "Or me." They both laugh.

5:30pm (PST) - Dick and Daniele talk about Jessica and what they think her interview with Julie Chen was. Dick thinks she was saying bad things about them. Daniele just thinks she was depressed. Dick says, "Are you kidding me? She was pissed." Daniele makes a comment about how she wishes she could sleep like Jessica and Dick says, "Yeah, I know." Then Daniele adds, "But when you're a robot, you can do things like that," and Dick says, "Shut down for twenty hours." (They are referring to a joke they had with Jessica.) Daniele talks about how some of their friends are reacting to the show. She says, "You know how your friend, Linda, loves the show," and then talks about her friend, Chuck... [cut] Daniele says, "It's weird to think that I'm on TV." Dick tells her the only time he felt at a loss for words was when they showed his montage of spitting. He says, "That was the only time I've seen myself on TV." Daniele comments there has been a lot of little planes flying by lately, but no banner planes. They talk about the banner plane that they saw and Dick says that changed the game, but definitely not in their favor. Daniele says, "It did change the game, but we would have figured it out eventually.. All the hinky votes and stuff.. And how Eric kept trying to sweep it under the rug.. So not like Eric. The only things he tried to sweep under the rug was the banner and the votes." Dick wonders if they will tell on the last show who did the mustard. Daniele says, "The best part will be that we will all laugh hysterically, but if it's Eric or Nick, everyone will be like.. I knew it." Daniele hopes it was Kail and Dick hopes it was Amber. Dick comments, "I wonder if anyone would think that Jen did it herself." Daniele says, "That was the first thing I thought."

5:45pm (PST) - Daniele talks about how Kail wanted to have a talk with her about Nick and Dick says, "Yeah and she never did." Daniele mocks Amber, "Seeing my name next to that word. I haven't been called a liar since I was on drugs.. Who am I?" Dick responds, "The crying hyena," and Daniele says, "Ding, ding, ding. You're right. You are the new HOH." Dick thinks Eric used Amber and Daniele says, "She still lied." Dick says, "I didn't lie very much, but the biggest one was about the alliance." Daniele asks, "Breaking what alliance? With them?" and Dick replies, "Jessica and Eric." Daniele says, "Well, I did too. You can't play this game without lying." Dick points out, "Except for Drew," and Daniele says, "He had to have." Dick says, "I don't remember much about him, except that he was cute," and Daniele says, "That was weird coming from you." Dick says he exaggerated stuff, like when he went off on Eric and blamed him for things that he said. Daniele says, "That's what I'm saying. The little things. There's no way you can go through this game without lying. Like when you told Jameka, 'You played a great game.'" Dick denies it at first, then says, "Well, I didn't want to be mean and say, 'You played a shit game and we just drag you along.'" Daniele wishes something would happen today, "This sucks." She says she hasn't been able to sleep because she's thinking about the POV, the next competition, life after Big Brother, and she just hasn't been able to sleep.

6:15pm (PST) - Big Brother told them they will be on a twenty-four hour indoor lockdown. Everyone is speculating on Tuesday's show being live. Daniele complains they better give them something to do tonight. Dick, Jameka, and Zach talk about television shows.

6:30pm (PST) - Zach talks about how he has had at least a dozen eviction notices taped to his front door since he moved to California. He says once he went on a trip to Minnesota - the landlord thought he had moved out - and they put his stuff on the street as abandoned.

6:35pm (PST) - Dick goes inside. Zach, Jameka, and Daniele talk about random stuff. Jameka wonders what's going to happen to the giraffe once they leave. Zach says, "Maybe you can take it home and put it in your garden." Jameka responds, "I don't have a garden." Zach says, "Okay, put it on your front lawn." Jameka replies, "No. I'll put it on the highway for the trucks to run over." Daniele comments, "That's rude, Jameka."

7:15pm (PST) - Dick and Daniele talk about past competitions from this summer. Jameka is asleep in her bed. Zach is sleeping in the HOH room.

9:00pm (PST) - Dick and Daniele are still in the Kitchen, eating potato chips and trying to determine the flavor. Dick offers to make some guacamole. General chit chat and they're getting along well. Daniele calls out, "Showtime, if you're watching, don't. Watch reruns of Saved by the Bell or something." They discuss Dick getting a Big Brother tattoo. He tries to find an empty spot for it.

9:30pm (PST) - Jameka goes to the Kitchen, studies a Digiorno Pizza box, and seems enthralled. Jameka invites Zach to come down and eat. He had been sleeping and had no idea what time it was. Jameka goes back to the Kitchen and asks Daniele about her past - happiest times in school, etc. Daniele states she went to a small high school with kids that had known each other all the way through school. She says she was friends with everybody and talks about her high school friends. She went to Prom with her best friend, Joe. She says, "They still hang out, but I don't hang with them anymore.. I'm too mature." Jameka talks about her high school reunion. They talk about their dogs and Jameka says her father is a Veternarian.

10:20pm (PST) - During some Jen bashing, Daniele tells Dick about how Jen claimed that she dated Jesse Metcalfe. They talk about what they think the wrap party will be like. Things are so dull that Daniele is whining for another craft kit.

Big Brother gave Jameka another bottle of wine.

10:30pm (PST) - Zach is still upstairs sleeping in the HOH room. Downstairs, Jameka is still drinking some wine to help her sleep and talking to Dick and Daniele about who will like them after the show is over. Jameka says Adria would like her, while Dick says she will hate her for calling her "fat." He also says James will hate him for calling him a "pussy" all the time. They think James [from BB6 and BB7] would like Eric the best out of all Houseguests. Jameka mentions that she thinks the pool in the backyard is small and Dick comments, "Are you kidding? The old pool was as small as a bathtub." Jameka asks them what people will think of her. Dick turns the question to Daniele and she says, "I don't know.. Howie will like you." A venom-filled rant about Howie ensues from Dick. Then he says, "Erika and Janelle won't hate me. Will and Boogie will laugh their asses off, even though I talked crap about Boogie." Jameka talks about the wrap party, "That's going to be a night I won't want to end," and Daniele agrees. Dick hopes there are bouncers there because he's afraid Amber's boyfriend will get drunk and beat him up. Jameka comments, "Dustin will bring his best friend that's a girl." Dick would prefer not to bring anyone and Daniele says, "It would be like a third wheel babysitting.. That's why I don't want anyone to go." Dick agrees saying there will be a lot of people to meet.

10:45pm (PST) - Daniele talks about making a shirt with "The bottle never lies" on the front and "I went home on Thursday" on the back. Dick tells the Showtime audience, "This is it. We have one viewer." Jameka asks Dick about his Big Brother 8 tattoo. Dick tells her it will be a "BB8 with a little house" and considers where it will go. Jameka says, "The guy from Survivor did it," and wonders what other reality show contestants have done tattoos.

They continue to bash the Big Brother 5 cast.

11:30pm (PST) - Jameka seems to be sleeping in her bed.

Dick and Daniele talk about computers and Daniele says she wants a pink Mac. Dick responds, "They don't make them." Dick remembers that he also won a plasma screen TV and tells Daniele, "Don't roll your eyes," as Daniele sounds jealous. He says, "You can still win a car," and Daniele says, "So can you." Dick and Daniele jokingly tell each other to shut up and they threaten each other to take Zach to the Final Two. Dick tells her, "You'll lose." Daniele says, "If I could fall asleep, I would go to bed." They talk about the difference between the vetoes, "The Golden POV was the first one and you couldn't use it on yourself." Daniele says, "What a pointless power. That doesn't make sense at all."

11:45pm (PST) - Daniele says she's going to try to go to bed. Dick comments, "You're gonna leave me all alone..." Daniele says, "My first attempt never works and I'll probably be back up." She leaves to go to the bathroom to brush her teeth and Dick is alone doing dishes.

12:00am (PST) - Daniele goes to bed, while Dick stands at the sink talking to himself, "I was tired." He goes to sit by himself and occasionally mocks Zach, "Better get on the treadmill, dude." He goes to get some Advil. Everyone else is in bed.

1:00am (PST) - Dick is in bed tossing and turning. He cracks his knuckles, farts a few times, and gets out of bed. He burps as he walks down the hallway, saying he has tuna breath and goes to the bathroom to weigh himself.

2:00am (PST) - Dick is up again but the feeds don't follow him, then he goes back to bed again. Everyone else is sleeping.

4:30am (PST) - Dick and Daniele are up again and they talk about the next competition. Dick says, "I had that tuna last night and it gave me such bad gas that it woke up Jameka in the next room.. and the door to her room was closed. She got up and went into the Diary room. She said she asked them to call a medic for me." Daniele retorts, "You better not fart near me." They talk about getting a deck of cards from "the other James." Then they speculate on the schedule for the next week or so. Daniele says, "They asked me about who I wanted at the Finale.. Kind of drives home that we are almost done. It's going to be strange."

4:40am (PST) - Zach and Jameka are both sleeping. Dick and Daniele are at the Dining Room table playing the cardgame, War, talking about people from their lives and the scene frequently cuts out. Daniele comments it will be weird to wake up in the morning and realize, "Oh, I can go somewhere!" Dick says, "Yeah. We can go on the internet." Dick's glad the slop BS is over. Daniele says, "This sucks! I'm like, wide awake. This is nonsense." Dick comments that it's just because she doesn't have Nick staring at her. They have a riveting conversation about Dick's farts and drool.

5:25am (PST) - Dick and Daniele are still playing cards while Jameka and Zach continue to sleep.

6:20am (PST) - Dick and Daniele take a break from their card game to make a breakfast sandwich, “Moons Over My Hammy.” They comment on how the fridge reeks from Dick's tuna sandwich from last night. Apparently they're running low on ham so Daniele tells Dick, “Not much hammy in my moons.” Dick laughs about his farts waking up Jameka, "I've never had that happen to me. Waking someone up and it wasn't even from the sound, but just the smell.” Dick says he's going to have another tuna melt before the next competition, so that he can "gas out Zach." Daniele laughs and mocks Eric, "I guess I've earned my spot in All Stars." They split the sandwich, sit down, start to eat, and think they hear something going on outside. Daniele says, "You should run up to Zach's room and say 'It's time for the Veto Competition.'” They laugh and Dick says, "I'll just go up with some pots and pans," and they laugh again. General chit chat and then Dick says, “You know my view on all religion and stuff.." and starts to talk about Pastor Phillip.. [cut] They are back to playing War with the cards.

6:35am (PST) - Daniele says, "I've forgotten what the world looks like and I can't remember how to pump gas. We're all going to be so retarded when we get out of here." Zach gets up and goes downstairs to the Diary Room. Daniele says, "He just remembered someone he wants to invite to the wrap party and wants Big Brother to call them."

7:00am (PST) - Zach is back in bed and Jameka is sleeping. Dick has been talking about his friend Jeri, saying, "That's one person I know for sure is watching." Because of this, the scene keeps cutting out. Dick and Daniele talk about going back to bed to get some more sleep, but they continue to play cards. Dick seems to be winning this round. Daniele starts to do the dishes and Dick tells her, “Don't worry about those. Just go to bed." She says, "It's okay," and he says, "Alright. I'm gonna go to bed then. See you tomorrow.” Daniele jokes, "Or will you?" Dick goes to the Food Storage Room for batteries, stops in the Kitchen to give Daniele her new batteries, then goes to bed. Daniele finishes the dishes and goes to bed.

7:10am (PST) - All Houseguests are sleeping.
