Result of the 6th Food Competition: SLOP: Daniele, Dick, and Dustin. FOOD: Amber, Eric, Jameka, Jen (Dick gave her the Slop Pass), and Zach.
Result of the 6th Nomination Ceremony: Daniele and Dick

9:40am (PST) - Big Brother has been giving a wake-up call for the last fifteen minutes.

9:55am (PST) - Dustin is washing dishes. Jen is in the bathroom area getting ready. Big Brother announces there are fresh batteries in the storage room.

10:15am - 10:35am (PST) - Amber tells Jameka that Dick confronted Dustin this morning. Daniele comes in and Jameka and Amber say good morning to her. Daniele says good morning and starts brushing her teeth and then asks Amber if she can talk to her later. Amber agrees then runs to Dustin to tell him. Then Amber and Dustin talk about who they want nominated (like it's their choice).

10:40am (PST) - Dustin asks Eric if he woke Jessica up. He says no, but that he put her battery outside her door so she wouldn't have to come down. Eric says they yelled at her to get up [Big Brother's wake-up call]. Dustin says, "Yeah, but when has that ever worked." Dustin goes up to see if she is awake and opens the door, "You are awake?” and Jessica says, "Yes. Thank you." Dustin leaves the HOH room and goes back downstairs. Dustin asks Jameka how she's feeling and she asks how he slept. Dustin says he didn't sleep much. Jameka says, "Are you serious?" and he says, “Yes.”

Meanwhile…Dick is up and in the kitchen. He hasn't said anything...yet. General conversation is about the Food Competition and how they think it will be an eating contest.

10:45am (PST) - Jameka is in the HOH room with Jessica. Lots of small talk, but Jessica is asking if everyone is okay (Amber, Jameka, etc) after Dick and his actions last night. Jessica says that she might get it today after she nominates him and Jameka says that she doesn't think that Dick will do anything to her. Jessica says, "Ugh. He is something else." Jessica also thinks that Dicks picks on her [Jameka] and Amber because they are easy, instead of going off on Eric, Dustin, or Jessica. Jameka and Jessica both say, “It’s a new day and it's going to be good." Jessica wonders how Dick is going to act during the Food Competition. Jameka says, "Typical...whatever that means," and Jessica says, “Yeah.” Jameka asks if Jessica is going to eat breakfast. They both say that the Food Competition probably won't start when they say.

Jen and Dick are talking in the bedroom (with the round beds). Jen leaves and Dick is laying in the dark.

Jessica and Jameka are talking about eating something before the Food Competition. Big Brother announces that it's time to get up for the day and they wonder who isn’t up yet. Jameka says that she's going to go downstairs and she leaves.

In the kitchen, Jameka joins Amber and Eric. Jameka is wondering what they are supposed to wear for the Food Competition because Big Brother hasn't told them anything. She says, "I wish they'd tell us something." General chit chat while they wait for the Food Competition to start.

10:55am (PST) - Amber talks to Jameka and tells her that she told Dustin that if it's two-person teams she [Amber] wants to be with Jameka, then Dustin and Eric can be a team, so that way if she gets on slop her and Jameka can get through it together. Jameka agrees. Eric says, “Yeah and so that I can ensure that Dustin's ass is on slop," and everyone laughs. Danielle comes in and they all talk about the ants and where they are coming from.

FOOD COMPETITION

12:48pm (PST) - Eric is taking a shower. Dick and Daniele are talking in the bedroom (with the round beds). Dick had a slop pass and gave it to Jen, hoping that would be an advantage to himself and Daniele. Daniele, Dick, and Dustin are on slop; the rest of the house is eating. Dustin is asking Jen how to prepare the slop.

1:20pm (PST) - Dick and Danielle are continuing their talk. Dick talks about putting honey in Jameka's Bible. They have off and on quiet moments and talk about everyone in the house. Daniele says that Amber told her that she [Amber] was going to have her own sitcom when she gets out of the house. Dick responds, "Who told her that? The voices in her head?"

Jameka and Amber are having a Bible study group. Jameka is reading the Bible, while Amber sits and holds her necklace tightly.

1:35pm (PST) - Dick and Danielle are still laying down in the bedroom (with the round beds) and talking. Dick says that there are only three votes needed. Dick says yesterday Big Brother announced that "440 laps equals one mile in the Big Brother pool." Daniele says, "When did they say that?" Dick tells her that she was sleeping at the time. Daniele talks to Dick about Zach's "calendar" he made to quiz himself on things that have happened. Dick says he'll make them slop when they get up from their nap. Daniele says she can't make herself take a nap. Daniele comments that slop can't be good for you...all the sugar that is in it.

Jameka and Amber are still in the bedroom and it seems like Bible study is over. Jameka is laying down and Amber is talking.

1:45pm (PST) - Amber and Jameka are still talking. Amber is saying she can't be in sequester with him [Dick]. Jameka says, "Don't worry, you won't be....it's not an option." Amber says that she told Dustin to leave it alone and that maybe he'll stop (referring to Dick). Jameka says that she doubts it. Jameka says that Danielle said she is supposed to talk to her later and she doesn't want to. Jameka knows she has to, but she feels like Danielle should have said things before. It's too late now.

Dick has fallen asleep and has started to snore. Daniele wakes him up to tell him she can't sleep there because of his snoring and she leaves.

Zach is eating a sandwich and Jen made herself something to eat, too. Jen goes into the bedroom (with the little beds) and tells Jameka and Amber that there is food. Amber says that she doesn't know what it is, but Jen has been clingy lately. Regarding Jen, Amber says, "She was so worried about her eye shadow." Amber asks what does superficial mean. Jameka tells her it is like name brands, etc. Jameka says that Jen is lonely. Danielle comes into the bedroom where Jameka and Amber are. Amber gets up and pulls a blue bandana out of her drawer. She says, "This is Nick's and I thought it was mine. I'm sorry." Danielle says, "It's okay," and Amber walks out. Daniele is called into the Diary Room.

In the kitchen, Dustin has joined Zach and Jen. Dustin appears to be reading the rule book about slop. There is a bottle of Vaseline lotion on the counter in front of Dustin and the camera keeps zooming in on the lotion, then panning to Dustin. Eric joins the kitchen group and Jen asks if he wants a turkey burger. Eric says, "No, thank you. I'm going to make myself a grilled cheese." The kitchen group is still talking about ants and Dustin is eating his first bowl of slop.

1:50pm (PST) - Amber tells Jameka she knows that "me, you and Dustin will be the final three and I'll win HOH and get rid of Dustin and we'll go to the finals together." Amber says that she will win HOH and that God told her that Dustin would understand since he won the trip to Barbados and the money. She knows that Dustin will understand. Amber says that she knows it will happen. Jameka says it's still crazy that she has to sit out four more HOHs and that getting through that will amaze her. Amber says that she knows she will win the next HOH. Amber starts to cry and says, "My daughter..."

Eric tells everyone in the kitchen, "I don't want to make an international fiasco out of this, but when I was in the bathroom, out of the corner of my eye, I saw Dick and I heard him blow his nose, very loudly. And when I turned, he had this sly look on his face and there was a hand towel on the floor. So I don't know if he blew his nose on the towel and threw it on the floor, but I'm advising you to inspect the cleanliness of your personal items before you use them. I don't want to start anything by making false accusations." Dustin responds, "I would talk to someone bout that..." Eric says, "Yes. They could check the tapes for the legitimacy of this." Jessica says, "Don't forget ladies...Slumber party tonight in the HOH room." Eric says he's jealous he isn't a girl. Eric asks if boys can sneak in.

2:20pm (PST) - There's lots of general chit chat about the Food Competition. Eric says the costumes were fun. Jessica says it was obvious that people were getting their frustrations out when they were hitting the guitars. Jen says she was surprised that Dick gave her the slop pass. The houseguests are worried about their leftovers. They don't want to leave anything out for fear Daniele or Dick might do something to their food. Eric says he's going to bring his to the HOH room.

2:30pm (PST) - Amber is crying in the HOH room. Amber, in prayer, says, "Help me, God, to be strong." She is thankful for the wonderful competition. She says thank you so much for being there for her, allowing her to be there, and that she knows she cries a lot but she can't hold it in. She says, "I am so thankful. You have no idea." She hopes her daughter is okay. She loves her so much...so much. (She is crying through all of this.) Amber says if she gets HOH she wants them to take away one of her pictures and put one up for Jameka. She says, "She can't get HOH for five weeks and, honestly God, take away everything I will get for HOH and give something to Jameka. Give her a perm." Amber says she only wants her letter. She says, "I don't know if you can or if it is allowed...I just love Jameka and I'm so thankful for her. If I don't win, I've learned so much about myself and about people and life and my family and everything. And even if I don't win the money and I hope you don't think I'm saying that even if I don't win, I am so thankful." (She is crying so hard through this whole thing.) She says, "I've learned so much and through Jameka I've learned so much and when I get out of here, I'm going to be a nurse. I am going to...I am going to get my life together. I just want to be a nurse so bad. I want to help people. It's hard for me because I want to be committed and it's so hard to be there for everyone and go to school. I want to be a nurse. I want to be a nurse my whole life. Please help me. Make me strong. Make me do better in the competitions, even in endurance. I need willpower to eat right and work out. Please help me, help me, help me. I need help with Dick...he's so mean. I am a mess because of him this week. Help me please. I love you God. I love you so much. I love the person that I am. I love the person that you made me. I love the changes that I've made to better myself. I know I did drugs and I know I made mistakes but I...I want you to help me. I don't want to do drugs again...I want you to help me...I've learned from it. I promise I did, God. Dick says I'm a bad mom. I am not a bad mom; I am a good mom. The only reason why I did drugs was because of my family. I had four or five people to take care of and I'm sorry I turned to drugs to help me work harder and give me energy. I really regret it. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I just...I just did it to help my family and I know I ended up hurting them in the long run, but I learned and I got...because that car accident...I love my boyfriend so much. I love him so much, oh my goodness. I know that he is my soul-mate and I thank you so much for keeping him around and for realizing that there is a good person in me and he is realizing more and more everyday and he sees the person that I am and I know he's seeing me on TV and we...and just...ummmm...and I just thank you for watching what I eat because you put me in the hospital one month ago and I'm just a different person that I used to be." Jessica comes in and Amber stops. Jessica asks if she's okay. Amber says that Jessica is just so sweet to let her go into the HOH room. Amber says she knows she's [Jessica] nervous about nominations. Amber says, "If you need advice, you can talk to me. I can give you some words and stuff."

3:00pm (PST) - Amber and Jessica are still in the HOH room.

Eric and Zach are in the Workout Room whispering. Eric is suggesting that Zach suggest to Jessica that it would be fun to put Dustin up against Dick, just to watch him squirm. Right after their brief talk, Zach goes outside where Dustin and Jen are talking about having children. They ask Zach if he wants to have kids, without pausing, Zach answers, "Yes. Three...two boys and one girl. I want to have the girl last so the boys will be older and take care of her, if anyone wrongs her."

4:00pm (PST) - Jessica gets ready for the Nomination Ceremony. They go outside to play chess on the giant chessboard. Zach is surprised that Eric was really going to play. They got started and Eric gets called to the Diary Room. Jessica comes out and asks Eric if he has some Imodium, because her stomach is killing her. He gets it for her before going to the Diary Room. Amber comes out of the Diary Room and Jessica asks how she is. She says she had a great Diary Room session.

Dustin, Jen, and Zach are in the backyard talking about the competitions and how they seem geared for certain people. Zach says if the ratings suck, they might get some that are controversial to get people interested. Zach says they have to do something since they moved Pirate Master.

4:15pm (PST) - Eric is back from the Diary Room. He and Zach resume their chess game. Eric makes some bad moves and tells Zach the Diary Room messed him all up.

Jen and Dustin are talking about food and Dustin says, "I'm glad I had the grilled cheese last night." Jen says, "It smelled good." They continue talking about cookie binges and different foods.

Zach says he wants to start a new game but Eric says to keep playing to its natural conclusion. Zach moves and says, "Fuck! It's a tie." Eric says, "No. It is checkmate," but Zach says he is not in check.

4:35pm (PST) - An outdoor lockdown is called. Amber and Dustin are in the hammock. Amber cries from time to time while she talks about her daughter, her family, and her past.

NOMINATION CEREMONY

5:55pm (PST) - Eric is in the HOH room gloating, "What do you expect? You don't bother to get to know anyone and you treat everyone like shit..."

In the kitchen, Dick and Daniele are fixing some slop and grumbling about how the others don't clean up after themselves. For most of the day, the Donato's have been by themselves. In addition to being shunned by five former Late Night Crew members, Zach and Jen are keeping their distance, too. In the bathroom area, Dick and Daniele discuss their strategy for playing in the POV Competition tomorrow. Dick wants Daniele to go for all the prizes and money. Dick will take any of the punishments and, if given the chance, Dick will put the house on slop or whatever other sacrifices are put on the table. Dick wants to make sure he's the one they evict and that he doesn't leave with less than he can get. They re-hash all their mistakes and link Eric to their downfalls.

6:30pm (PST) - Dick eats a peanut and freaks out, "Oh no! Penalty nom!" (because he's on slop this week). They continue to go over past events and trash the former five Late Night Crew people.

Eric, Jen, Jameka, and Jessica are talking in the HOH room. They, too, are dwelling on past events and trashing their opponents. Eric talks about winning POV and leaving the nominations the same. Jen says she's happy that Dick is leaving because "he's negative." Eric says that he thinks that, for a while, Dick was someone who the viewers were enjoying, until this past week. Jameka says Dick probably got lots of e-mails. Jessica says, "I nominate Jameka." Jameka is nodding, "I'm ready." Eric says he thinks Jameka is dying to win POV this week. Jameka says, "Yes." They all agree that they hate "backdooring" people. Jameka says that the last endurance competition was geared to Daniele. Eric asks her if she [Jameka] thinks the producers are trying to protect Daniele. Jameka says, "I think they're looking to make good TV."

7:20pm (PST) - Dick gives Daniele advice, "I don't think Zach would go against you, but you can't completely trust him either because Zach is out for Zach. If you get houseguest's choice, pick Zach." Daniele asks, "Zach?" Dick says, "Yeah, 'cause you know he would play to win."

7:45pm (PST) - Zach comes outside and Dick asks him in a joking, friendly way if he's avoiding them like the others are. Zach says he wasn't; he was sleeping. Dick tells him that, if possible, they'd like him to play in the POV for Daniele. Zach leaves and when Daniele comes back out, Dick tells her about getting Zach on their side. Daniele is skeptical and says, "Zach is just all happy because everyone's kissing his butt this week." Dick tells Daniele, "No. He said Dustin's got to go." (Keep in mind that last night Zach was trying to team up with Dustin - No one knows where Zach's loyalty lies.)

7:55pm (PST) - Eric and Jessica are talking about how annoying Amber is. The conversation is interrupted by Dustin who continues a conversation that started earlier. Dustin asks to be put up, if the POV is used and either Dick or Daniele comes off the block, "Because I have prepared a little speech that I can't wait to give. I'm going to say, 'I stand before you as a courtesy flush to the pile of crap that stands beside me.'" There's lots of laughing, as they are proud of their work. Eric says that Daniele is proof that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, "She's the same person in a hundred-pound body, but she's filled with the same venom."

8:25pm (PST) - Amber tells Jameka that she heard Dick talking to Zach and that their plan is to try to save Daniele with the POV. Jameka says it might be better to get Daniele out this week so that Dick is left all alone in the house. Jameka and Amber agree that Daniele might be the bigger threat, because she's smarter than Dick. Amber and Jameka agree that if Daniele and Jen have an alliance, they can bust it by sending Daniele out of the house. Jameka thinks if Daniele gets HOH next week, she will put Eric and Dustin up; but if Dick gets HOH, he will put Amber and Jameka up. They agree that they want the nominations to stay the same, and after that, they'll have plenty of time to decide who goes.

8:45pm (PST) - Daniele and Dustin are talking and Dustin starts by thanking her for getting her father to call a truce. Dustin tells Daniele that people do not see her as an individual in the house, just as no one saw him as an individual until Joe left. Dustin tells Daniele that he's sorry her actions have put her in the situation she's in, and that by not telling Dick to stop, it's perceived that she condones his behavior. Daniele says she has told him to stop, but that's all she can do as her father is his own person. Daniele says she's not playing this game personal and that she put Eric up and people lied to her and he stayed. She says, "It's just a game. I don't take it personal." Dustin tells her she hasn't tried to get to know people. Daniele asks, "Like who?" Dustin says, "Like me." Daniele says she's gotten to know Dustin plenty in the last few weeks. Daniele says it's not all on her, "When have you tried to get to know me better?" Daniele keeps saying, "It's a game. It's just a game. I really don't care. I'm not taking it on a personal level. It's just a game." Dustin says he doesn't want Daniele to isolate herself from the rest of the house. Daniele says, "I'm not." Daniele says that she's tired of getting the brunt of whatever Dick does, that Jameka called her a bitch last night because of things Dick said. That she's tired of Dustin and people talking about her behind her back because she doesn't do that...it's just a game. Daniele says that what Dick does is not her problem, that she's tired of telling Dick to stop, but she's not going to do it every day for the rest of the time she's in the house. Daniele tells Dustin that it would be as if he was held responsible for whatever Amber does. Dustin says he does talk to Amber when he thinks she's said or done something wrong in the house. Daniele says that it's not the same, and anyway for her, it's just a game; she doesn't take things personal. They go back and forth with for a while.

After Dustin leaves, Amber comes out and asks Daniele if she's okay. Daniele says she's fine. Amber says she heard Dustin talking to Daniele and wanted to make sure he hadn't been mean to her. Daniele says, "No."

In the HOH room, Jameka and Jessica are talking about how bad Dick is at competitions and how it would be better to send Daniele off instead. Jameka says none of this matters until after the POV Competition.

In the Workout Room, Dustin is re-telling Amber his conversation with Daniele.

In the backyard, Daniele is re-telling Zach her conversation with Dustin. Zach tells her, "Good for you!"

In the HOH room, Jameka and Jessica are still talking about Dick. Amber comes in and tells them she's not going to work out and they laugh.

9:45pm (PST) - Zach and Daniele are still talking - Zach says how Dustin thinks he has Zach wrapped around his little finger, but Zach thinks that Dustin is arrogant and uneducated. They talk game and whisper for a while. Zach says he has a deal with Jessica that she won't put him up for the next two weeks. (Hmm...Maybe Zach doesn't realize Jessica can't compete for HOH next week.) He says he thinks this means he has a "date" with Jessica this week, "Great, she's so not my type."

Zach leaves to meet Amber in the Workout Room. Zach relates some strategic information to Amber, but not everything. He starts stroking her with some religious talk. Zach says he can't wait to get Dick out of the house and a bunch of Dick bashing follows. Zach says, "I've been waiting to throw him out for three weeks."

11:20pm (PST) - Not much has gone on tonight. Everyone is just hanging around talking about past POV Competitions from past seasons. Dustin gives Amber beauty tips. They trash each other, but just lightly tonight. Jameka and Amber consider which Donato it would be best to send home. From what started out as a very tumultuous day is fading into a peaceful evening. Dick asks Daniele, "What do you want to do first when you get out of here?" Daniele responds, "Get my hair done." Dick sort of snickes, "Really?" Daniele says, "Yeah. And I'd like to go to Disney World." Dick asks, "Alone? How about if I go along too?" Daniele says, "Well, it would be okay if we met at appointed times, but I'm not hanging out with you.." Dick says, "Oh, now why do you have to say it that way? You, me, Vincent...We'd have a good time." Daniele says, "Well, we could meet at various spots, but I couldn't stand to spend that much time with Vincent." Dick says, "Sure you could. Look at all the time you've spent with these people." Daniele replies, "Yeah, and look at me. I'm a wreck."

12:00am (PST) - Amber is suspicious of Dustin not being loyal; Jessica keeps an eye on Eric, and no one really trusts Zach. Amber suggests that Eric and Dustin are in a secret alliance. The girls are thinking they may flip the vote this week. Everyone thinks it's a done deal that Dick is the target, but the girls are thinking that if they can put up with Dick, it might make more sense to evict Daniele, as she is a much better competitor. They figure they have until Thursday to decide.

Dick thinks that today's [Saturday] POV Competition will finally be the event that incorporates the giant croquet set, so Dick and Daniele got some practice time on it tonight.

1:55am (PST) - Dick and Daniele discuss possible names for the other five - they seem to favor "Royal Court Alliance." The "RCA" is comprised of the queen [Dustin], a princess [Jessica], her hand maidens [Amber and Jameka], and the court jester [Eric]. Dick calls Amber and Jameka "the Merry Maids," and Dick laughs and says, "I better be careful, Jameka will call me racist again for giving her the name of a servant." They spend a lot of time bashing the "RCA."

The RCA is meeting in the HOH room. They're trying to decide what to do with Zach and Jen. Amber rehashes a conversation with Jen where she questioned Amber for forgiving Eric. Then Dustin starts retelling his conversation with Daniele.

3:00am (PST) - The RCA is still going over Dustin's POV speech. They agree, on eviction night when Julie reads the results, they're not going to stand and walk Dick to the door. They spend at least a half hour discussing variations of this plan to show Dick how hated he is.
