~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
10:10am (PST) - Most of the houseguests are still sleeping.
10:44am (PST) - Big Brother calls for an HOH room lockdown. Everyone is fairly quiet, most are sleeping...A few sniffles are heard and it sounded like Dick was chuckling for a quick second.
11:55am (PST) - Everyone is still sitting around in the HOH room on lockdown. Jen, Jessica, Eric, and Jameka are in the bed sleeping. Zach and Dick look really bored. Danielle is asleep on the floor.
12:05pm (PST) - HOH lockdown is over. Eric is helping to pack Jessica's clothes in the HOH room. Jameka, Jen, Eric, and Amber are all still in the HOH room.
1:35pm (PST) - Dustin and Zach are in the Workout Room. Zach is running and Dustin is lifting weights. Dustin is trying to get Zach to vote Dick out. Zach says, "Nobody has offered me anything yet." Dustin says if Danielle wins HOH that he [Dustin] will be going up. Zach says if he won HOH, he would put up two of the girls to level it out. Dustin thinks its going to be 4-2 this week for Dick to leave.
1:40pm (PST) - Dustin says, "If Dick and Daniele stay in this house, they are going to have to be put up again next week, because they will continue their fashion." Zach says, "The only way it can become an un-easy situation is if Jessica says 'you're on your own.' It's up to her." The two of them are listing items they've noticed are missing. Drawers, the "Occupied" sign, and something from the Workout Room. They think maybe Big Brother did it. (These are items that Jen and Eric hid before going to bed this morning.) In the kitchen, Dick is looking for a utensil (also hidden by the pre-dawn duo).
1:50pm (PST) - Jameka and Dick are in the kitchen. Dick is making slop and Jameka is cooking something.
Jen and Danielle are in the bathroom getting themselves ready for the day. They are talking about possibilities for what the HOH could be.
2:00pm (PST) - Dick and Daniele are talking in the bedroom (with the round beds). Daniele says, "I don't want to not talk to you all day and make it obvious." Dick tells her, "If this doesn't happen, this was a very good experience for me with you. It is the beginning of fixing and everything and this will be something we will share for the rest of our lives. But, hopefully, I won't leave." Daniele responds, "Mmmm hmmm" They are talking about Jen's slop pass not being fair because it lasts throughout the game. Dick says, "If I give my you my pass, I shouldn't have to be on slop either." Daniele comments, "I'm just tired of her [Jen]." Dick says, "Next week, if we get HOH, Jameka and Amber are up and Jen is a replacement. This will be such a disappointment for Amber. She will be crying all week." Daniele says, "She will have Jameka. All I want to do is sleep. I've been on slop for two weeks in a row." Dick tells her, "Don't tell me you'll be okay on slop, ever again." Daniele insists, "All I want to do is sleep!..." Dick storms, "I want that bitch [Jen] out of here!" Daniele tells him, "If you leave, I will do it. We will talk to Zach before the show." Dick replies, "I'll talk to him like I talked to Jessica. I don't care what your deal is, I'm not voting for him [Zach]. I don't have a deal with him."
THE LIVE SHOW (EVICTION & HOH COMPETITION)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
6:05pm (PST) - Eric and Jessica are still in living room talking about the questions Julie asked her. There's visible flirtation between Eric and Jessica. She tells him about what Julie asked about her attraction to him. She says they're both trying to stay focused on the game. Eric adds, "But after we get out ..." Nervous laughter follows and Eric jokes about throwing Jessica up on the counter [implying something naughty] and getting a penalty eviction for it.
Jameka is sitting at the breakfast bar and Amber is doing dishes, upset. Daniele is eating chips. Jen asks if Daniele has laundry and Daniele says, "Yes." Daniele hopes she gets new food. She says, "Red lime!"
Eric is explaining to Jessica how he really tried to win HOH. He wasn't looking at the costumes yesterday - he thought that it would be all about the numbers. He seems somewhat upset that he didn't win. Jessica is joking about Julie asking her if she is in love with Eric. Jessica says she told her, "There is a connection between me and Eric, unlike any other." They joke about this. Eric says that when they "finally touch," it will create sparks and he's not sure they can wait until after the show is over. Jessica says she should have said, "How could you NOT love Eric?"
Jessica says something about Daniele needing a letter from Nick. Eric says if that happens, he would "vomit into her hair" and into the basket. Eric says to Jessica and Daniele, "HOH birthday week is pretty cool." Daniele is acting VERY excited, happy, and upbeat now. She says, "I know." Eric asks if this is the first time it has happened. Daniele responds, "We are breaking records all over the place." Eric says he hates the true/false questions; he says if they had asked him everything they said yesterday, he could have quoted it all. Daniele says all of that stuff was to distract them from the things they would be asked. Eric says to Daniele that he “could barely contain himself.” Eric also tells her that he knew that Daniele had left her answer on true. He didn't hear her spin the answer thing. He wasn't sure what the answer was, so he turned his to false, just in case, so one of them would win. Daniele says, “That's SO smart of him.” They give each other a high five. Daniele says she thought if "these people were lying to her again" she would be crying. Eric says, “They knew it was happening, too, because they seemed panicked all day today!”
Jameka is changing clothes alone. She is mumbling to herself, "Okay. I'm tripping. This is a trip!"
6:20pm (PST) - Amber is sobbing at her bedside, Jameka is reading her bible and Dick and Daniele are whispering excitedly. Dick asks Daniele if they should tell Eric about their plan and she says, “To get him out of here? NO!" Dick says, “Why not, it's over. Just to let him know that it wasn't mine.” Daniele says, "I don't know. I want them to be a bit stupider than we are. I don't care...No...I just would rather not." Dick asks, "Why? He knows we are not." More low whispering. Daniele says, "It burnt the crap out of me" looking at her hand. Daniele says she is very excited to have HOH on her Birthday week. Dick says, "Eric was really upset that he didn't win HOH."Everybody, except for Jameka [who is resting her head on her arm] and Amber [sitting quietly at the Dining room table], is in the kitchen talking very lively. They comment about the missing things in the kitchen.
6:30pm (PST) - Amber goes to the Breakfast Bar. They are noticing all the missing items in the kitchen and wondering what is going on. Everyone on slop is now eating - Jen is eating cereal and Dick just ate a roast beef sandwich. Jameka is sitting across the table from everyone else with her head down in her arms. Amber is still sitting at the Breakfast Bar. Neither one of them is talking to anyone.
6:40pm (PST) - Dick, Eric, Zach, Jen, Jessica, and Daniele are sitting at the Dining room table talking about cartoons. Dick says he hates Scooby-Doo. Zach says he hates Scooby-Doo, too. Dick talks about the Groovy Ghoulies. Daniele talks about Jem. Jameka heads to her room and she goes to bed. Everyone discusses how much they all love Speed Racer. Amber is still sitting there, not saying anything. Daniele asks Amber, "Did you ever watch Even Stevens?" and Amber quietly says, "Yes." Daniele then asks her something about her daughter and Amber answers, “Yes,” as she starts to tear up. Daniele consoles her, telling her that she's sure her daughter enjoyed hearing what she had to say on the show to her tonight. They’re all waiting for Chinese food. Dick says this is one more night when his son is going nuts!!! Dick and Jessica are talking in the bedroom (with the round beds). Dick says, "Game on," and high fives Jessica, after saying that Jameka hasn't talked to anyone. Dick says, “No more of this POV shit with them." He says that they will backdoor. Jessica says that Amber and Jameka will freak out and Dick says everyone has to have their turn. Jessica says, “No, thank you!” They laugh, she leaves, and Daniele comes in. Dick tells Daniele that he told Jessica about her plan and about Jameka. Daniele says she is surprised [in a good way] that Amber is taking it as well as she is. Daniele says that "this one" [points toward Jameka in the other room] is taking it a lot harder than she thought she would. She thought it would be the other way around. Dick says, “That's too fucking bad.” They think Jameka is "freaking out" and acting bad. Zach enters the room and Dick farts. Daniele tells him, “You are so gross,” and that she is going to nominate him to just get him out of there! Dick is unpacking, showing all of the stuff he has collected, including something that fell off the chandelier when he was going up the stairs. Daniele jokes that Big Brother will tell him to return everything.
7:10pm (PST) - Jen has joined Dick, Daniele, and Zach in the bedroom (with the round beds). Zach jokes about Dick saying, on national TV, that he wants to make out with Carol. Dick quotes what he actually said and Daniele says that Carol's parents hate Dick now, too. Dick says everyone hates him! Everyone laughs. Daniele lists everyone that hates Dick. Jen says her family, too. Dick agrees. Dick says, “I'm Joe's hero! I am!” More laughter.
Eric is whispering to Jessica saying that they said it was the best thing ever that they went against their alliance. He says, “We are officially reality TV bad asses!” Zach is sitting on the end of the bed that Jessica and Eric are lying in and he's making fun of Eric's feet. He calls him a hobbit and asks him, "What's going on, Frodo?" Jessica comments on the eviction and what went on afterwards, “I think that went well.”
Dick and Jen are whispering in the kitchen. She asks who Daniele is putting on the block.
7:45pm (PST) - Dick is on his way outside and Daniele asks if he wants company. He says, “Yes.” They go outside and Dick says he wants another hug. Dick tells her that he can't believe they pulled it off and not just because he was on the block, but because of the way they treated everyone in the house this week. Amber comes outside and asks if she is interrupting and they both tell her, “No.” Daniele whines about her hand because she grabbed a hot pan earlier.
A little later...Dick goes over to Amber, who is in the hot tub. He says that he took Dustin's tattoo sleeves and would have given them to him as he left, but it would have been too much of a "Fuck you." So, he will give them to Amber later and she can give them to Dustin. Amber says, "That's fine."
8:00pm (PST) - Jessica and Jameka are going up to couch outside HOH room to talk. Jameka asks Jessica if the reason they [Eric and Jessica] did not tell her [Jameka] was because they thought she would tell Amber. Jessica tells her that it wasn't decided until the last minute and she wanted to tell Jameka but did not want to put her in a tough spot. She says she was scared that Dustin would come after the rest of the people in their group. Jameka asks, “How would he [Dustin] do that?” Jessica explains that’s what she [Jessica] thought Dustin would do because of how he did things. Jameka tells Jessica that she heard that Jen and Zach discussed it as a group. Jessica tells her she didn't want to be blind-sided. Jameka thinks that Dick will come after her and Amber now. Jessica tells her, “I don’t think so,” and that she can guarantee it is Jen that Dick and Daniele are going after.
8:40pm (PST) - Everybody is standing outside the HOH room waiting to see Daniele’s room. She says, “Remember when we all came to see Kail's room?" Dick says, “Remember when nobody came to see Jens?” Inside the room the camera shows a big letter written in pink and it’s from Nick, it ends with "to be continued..." Everybody is talking excitedly about the food, pictures, and stuff Daniele received. Dick says, "We'll leave you now so you can read your letter from Nick." Daniele says, “Thank you," but everybody's still there. Daniele says she wants to give a speech, as they are having the Chinese. Zach says he will take a "normal portion" and then eat what's left over. Dick calls him "Mike."
Nick's letter to Daniele: Daniele, First & foremost, Happy Birthday Blondie! I miss you so much & know that things in the house are hard but you will persevere because of how strong & determined you are. Congrats on HOH, I'm proud of you & expected nothing less...such a competitor. I miss every thing about you, but I get to see your "pretty" face often so that keeps my spirits up. Simba says "Meow", Joe says "Oh my knees"...& my parents say "Hello." Tell Zach I say "Hey" and to stop fake sleeping.. muahahaha You're so beautiful, personable, funny & intelligent & I can't wait to see you again....Hopefully, there is a roadtrip lined up in the future. I'll have my people talk to your people (wink) Then it's "Dani & me tonight" Hawk twa & 153 Dollface To Be Continued XOXOXOXONick Smitten
9:00pm (PST) - Daniele's speech: "Like I was saying upstairs...we started out with a whole bunch of people and it's down to this. We've been through our up’s. We've been through our lowest lows. I know for a fact that I, in this house, have hit absolute rock bottom, and you know, stepped up from there. And I know a lot of us have. This summer has been absolutely nothing, nothing like I could have imagined at all. Your opinions of people in this house change daily. You go from one day feeling one way about somebody to the next day feeling a different way...completely. And I can honestly say that I really appreciate and I'm really happy to be sitting here next to every single one of you, and I'm extremely proud of all of us. And that's all." [Her voice starts cracking at the end.] Everyone claps. Eric says, “And what better than a birthday HOH celebration? Very, very cool!” and Daniele adds, “And Chinese!” Amber also says she wants to say something. She says, “Um, I wanted to say something to you guys. Obviously, this is a hard day for me with Dustin being gone. Everybody voted how they needed to vote for their best interests. I don't hold it against anyone. Obviously, there's a lot of stuff that I'm confused about, but it's a game. And, like I said, everyone's here for themselves, in a sense. I'm not mad at anyone and I don't hold any anger towards anyone, and that's all. I just wanted to say that. Don't treat me any different because he's not here, and I'm fine. I'll be fine after a few days.” Dick says, “Okay.” Jameka says, “All-righty.” Jessica says, “Thanks, Amber.” Eric also says, “Thank you. That's nice, Amber.”They all read their fortunes from the cookies - Dick reads his cookie, “Others will be impressed with your artistic side.” Zach's cookie reads, “Others find your charms irresistible in bed.” Daniele says, “Shut up! What did it say?” Zach responds, “You always put 'in bed' at the end of your fortune. It makes it fun!” Eric reads his cookie, “It's okay to slow down and smell the roses...In bed.” Daniele reads hers, “Ooh! Mine's good! Focus on your long-term goal...In bed.” Amber's reads, “Good news is on its way.” Daniele says, “That's a good one!” Dick remarks, “Hey! That's mine! That's in my wallet. Except it says it will happen any day, or it will come soon any day, something like that. I've had that in my wallet for like eight years.” Jen says, “Mine says, 'you are inclined to come up with unconventional solutions.'” Dick laughs, “And I keep going, I'm still waiting!” Daniele asks, “What's yours, Jameka?” Jameka responds, “I don't like mine at all!” Daniele says, “I want a redo!” Jameka says, “It sounds like an eviction! You will soon be crossing warm waters for a fun vacation!" Everyone laughs really loud. Daniele laughs, “Oh, my God! That is funny!” Jameka says, “I mean...can I wait another month and a half or so?” Daniele asks, “What was yours, Jessica?” Jessica replies, “The time is right to make a new friend.” Eric says they have to eat the cookie because if you don't eat the cookie, your fortune doesn't come true. Dick talks about a company that will custom make cookies for you, with fortunes you write. Jameka says, "Now, if you were at home and got that [talking about the vacation fortune], you'd be like, OH!!!"
9:30pm (PST) - Jameka is outside with Amber. Jameka tells her that Jessica came up to her as soon as they sat down before the show, and said, "Dustin's leaving!" Jameka says that she wasn't going to vote any other way. Amber asks, “So you knew, too?” Jameka says no, Jessica didn't tell her until they were sitting down for the show and that she remembered that Zach said he would vote whichever way. So, how did that happen? It had to be someone from their group. She explains that Jessica told Jameka that Eric said "The group met" and Jameka's heart dropped. Jameka says, “I’m like, what group made that decision?” Jameka says that Jessica seems to think that most of the information about Dustin came from Zach, but Jessica didn't give her hardcore information that Zach told her this or that. Jameka says that the meeting obviously took place without them [Amber and Jameka].
10:10pm (PST) - Eric is whispering to Jessica and giving her ideas about what they can say. Eric is talking about when they have to get out Dick and Daniele. Jessica thinks she will win HOH in week ten, but Eric says that it's not a good week for her to win, because then she can't compete for HOH for the final four. Eric hopes he can win HOH week eight. Jessica says, “You better!” Eric replies, “I'm trying!” Eric tells her she really did awesome this week. Jessica says Jameka told her that she did really good and didn't make any enemies and she'll go all of the way. Jessica says she “doesn't want everyone thinking that!” and now two people have said it. Eric says that's better than people saying you will go down the tubes. She says, “No, it's not!” Jessica says that she was told that she "pretty much got off free" and she made a deal and isn't being blamed for getting Dustin out. Daniele comes in and talks about how she doesn't want her clothes to be gone for a long time. Jessica says that she didn't get hers until Tuesday, late. Eric says they believe they totally forgot about Jessica's clothes and an intern had to hurry and do the laundry.
10:15pm (PST) - Dick and Daniele are on the patio talking about the nominations. The plan is to nominate Jameka and Amber and backdoor Jen. They don’t want Jen to win POV and will tell everyone that is competing that if Jen is playing to make sure she is eliminated. After Jen is gone, they will worry about taking Jameka and Amber out.10:30pm (PST) - Dick and Daniele are talking on the patio about the game - Dick is suggesting that Daniele put him up against whoever and hope that one of the two of them win POV, so they can backdoor someone. They talk about Amber almost winning HOH tonight - Daniele says, "Amber is just, like, really weird with numbers and when Julie said 'seven,' it messed her all up because she was relating it to something else. She's just really weird with numbers." They are on their way in to the house and Dick whispers, "I just can't believe we are both still here. This is like...wow!" Daniele goes upstairs and Dick goes in to the bathroom.
Eric, Jessica, Jen, Zach, and Jameka are in the bedroom (with the tall beds) chit chatting about their shoe sizes. Jameka is in one bed; Eric and Jessica are in the other; Zach is walking around looking through the drawers and talking about clothes. Zach and Jen leave and Jameka and Jessica tell Eric he needs to put on a dress. Eric goes to the bathroom first. Eric comes back and says, "Dick is currently shitting in the bathroom," then proceeds to put on Jessica's black and white dress that she came into the show with. Zach calls him a "little roman boy." Zach, Jessica, and Jameka tell him that he just looks sooo bad. Jameka keeps repeating, "That's just not right. Not in any state." 
Eric is now wearing the headband that matches and Jessica's silver high heels (it's scary - everything fits him, even the shoes). Zach is gathering the other houseguests to all come in and see. Everyone comes in and has a good laugh. Eric proceeds to strut around the house in his new attire - now there is a red flower in his headband. He goes to the kitchen and gets a cookie and starts to eat it, being a little messy. Dick says, "You better eat more lady-like." Eric responds, "Yeah, I know. Now I have to watch my figure." Everyone is gathered in the living room cheering Eric on and laughing.10:45pm (PST) - Zach, Dick, Jameka, Jen, Jessica, and Amber are talking in the living room about what they have left to do tonight - like the Diary Room, etc.
Eric comes in and is trying to figure out how to sit down on the couch with everyone, while wearing the dress. Jessica suggests that he "pull it up," and Dick says, "Oh, God! Don't do that!" Eric adds, "Yeah. I don't want this turning into a game of Peek-A-Boo." Eric says to Zach and Dick that he is a man of his word and he hopes they keep their words on their bets. They all laugh in agreement and start negotiating beer pong and what they are playing for [about who will do the cleaning]. Eric announces that he is "officially exposed, even under the pillow." Daniele, Zach, Eric, Jessica, and Dick go into the dining room to play beer pong. [It takes Eric a little while to stand up and pull his dress down, while holding the pillow to cover himself - what a sight!] When Eric gets to the Dining room he says something about wanting to take the dress off, because it's uncomfortable. Zach reminds Eric that he said he would wear the dress for three hours, so he "has to wear it until 2am." As usual, teams are Zach and Daniele against Eric and Jessica.Amber, Jameka, and Jen are talking in the bedroom (with the tall beds) about how the voting went today. Jen says that she was told to vote the way she wanted, so she did. When Jen starts to leave Amber and Jameka tell her thank you. After shes gone, Amber says, "I just don't even want to be here anymore." Amber says that she was really surprised by the vote tonight and she "just lost her best friend."
11:00pm (PST) - Amber tells Jameka that she's sick to her stomach and talks about how she didn't vote Eric out because she swore on her daughter. She says she wants Eric out of the house. Amber says that Zach told Dick and Daniele that Dustin was going to come after them [Dick and Daniele]. They decide to go and talk to Dick.
Amber and Jameka go to the bedroom (with the round beds) and talk to Dick about the voting and everything else that happened this past week. Dick says that he did what he had to do to get Daniele off the block because Dustin told him that they were all after Daniele. Jameka and Amber say that was NOT the plan - it was originally brought up as a suggestion, but the real target was Dick all along. They all talk about how Dustin "fucked up when he changed his mind to keep Eric in the house." Dick says that things started changing in the house the day that Dustin and Jessica decided to stay in bed for twenty-four hours. Dick says that he figured Dustin out during the POV Competition, where Dustin won all of his prizes and "he fucked Jameka in the process." He says he's sorry - he knows that they love Dustin - but he thinks that Dustin was the biggest liar in the house and no one in the house liked him walking around wearing his king's robe. Dick says that he reminded Dustin after the POV Competition that Dustin would be the first out of the seven LNC members to go - and he was. Dick talks about how Dustin would sort of make fun of Daniele, but never in front of him. (Dick says, "Period. End of story," waaay too many times throughout this conversation!)11:15pm (PST) - Dick is still talking about Dustin and says that he did what he needed to do this week to stay, that he talked to some people. Dick says he knew that Nick was telling the truth during Nick's Goodbye speech to Daniele - when it should have been a Save Me speech - and says, at that moment, he was going to change his vote, but he didn't because he was part of a group and he didn't want to go against the group. He explains again why he did what he did getting Dustin out. Dick says that he's surprised he's still in the house and not in a hotel somewhere, waiting to go meet Julie Chen in the morning. Dick says that Dustin buried himself by taking the prizes in the one POV Competition and then going out with the bunny suit question in the other POV Competition. Dick is still shocked that he's still in the house tonight. Jameka questions why Daniele would tell her [Jameka] to throw the POV Competition [where she gave up five HOHs]. She says she was confused by this and it made her want to win even more, that she lost her focus and got flustered when that happened. They figure out that it was just miscommunication between Jameka and Daniele. Dick explains why he gave Jen the Slop Pass and how Daniele insisted that he give it to Jen.
11:30pm (PST) - Dick, Amber, and Jameka talk about Kail and that something about her didn't add up. They talk about Dustin again and as Dick leaves he says, "I hope I answered all your questions." After he is gone, Amber tells Jameka that Jessica, Eric, and Jen must be in an alliance togther. She says, "Why would Jessica and Eric do that? They must have a deal with someone, otherwise why would they do that?" Amber says that Daniele will put Jen and herself up tomorrow. She says if Daniele was smart she would put Eric and Jessica up. Amber says, "I hate Jessica now. I just can't stand her." Jameka responds, "You can't dwell on shit like that." Amber whispers to Jameka, "Eric and Jessica...they're playing each other." They sit in silence for a long time.
Eric, Jessica, Jen, and Dick are in the bedroom (with the tall beds) - Eric changed back into his own clothes and everyone is joking and wandering around the house. Eric and Jessica lay in one of the beds next to each other and quietly chit chat.Dick and Daniele are in the HOH room talking, while Daniele decorates her bed and bedside table with boas. Dick leaves and Daniele continues to decorate in silence. After a few minutes, one of the cameramen asks her to make sure they are not over the lights.
11:45pm (PST) - Daniele is bringing stuff up to her HOH room - Dick is waiting for her upstairs and when Daniele comes in with her bag she says, "There was spillage in the bag." (It was pretty bad, too!) Dick tells Daniele that he was nice when he talked to Amber and Jameka a little bit ago; he says, "I didn't act all smug like Dustin!" Jen comes into the HOH room and watches Dick and Daniele clean out her bag in the bathroom. Jen and Daniele talk about bath products. Jen says she can't believe "how dumb" she was in the HOH Competition tonight - she can't believe that she didn't work the machine right. They are all glad that Amber didn't win. Jen asks about the votes and Dick tells her that he's not telling her shit because it was all done in confidence. Jen says, "I know I shouldn't say this, but in 'the place that we're not supposed to talk about' it was obvious they were trying to get us to keep you [Dick] in the house because they were going over all the benefits..." [Scene cuts to Jessica and Eric are still in her bed flirting and talking, being sweet to each other.] Over the loudspeaker, "Jen...Stop that."
Jessica and Eric are talking about her brother.
12:00am (PST) - Daniele is in her HoH room with Jen and says to her, "What a week." Jen replies that it was fun and interesting, saying Dustin was so sure he was staying and didn't talk to anybody. Dick says the pawn always goes, calling this Big Brother season, "the back door season." Dick says that basically Dustin's own group backdoored him because he was so cocky. Jen reveals that Dustin didn't want to go up against Daniele, but he was more than confident about going against Dick. Dick thinks Dustin was still in shock when he was talking to Julie. Daniele - imitating Dustin - jokes, "No, no, no. You wait, Julie. You didn't raise your hand." [Earlier in the game, when they were playing their own version of the HOH Competition, asking each other multiple choice questions, Dustin would disqualify Daniele for saying "my dad" or "me" when the choices were "A, B, C, or D" - and once he disqualified her for not raising her hand.] They continue laughing and talking about the pictures of Dick when he was young and good-looking. Jen tells Daniele, "I like the one when you were little." Dick says, "It's great picture." Dick is called to the Diary Room. Daniele repeats, "What a week." Jen says the HOH Competition had to be a memory game and Daniele says, "Yeah. We read way too much into stuff," and says, "At least it was something to do." They laugh at how Jameka was coming up with weird stuff, like Jen being one of Dick's daughters or them knowing each other because both are from Huntington Beach. Jen asks, "What are you thinking of doing?" Daniele answers, "I haven't decided. There are too many options." Jen says it's goofy to put Amber up and there no reason to send Jameka home but, "put her up." Daniele says, "It doesn't matter. Jameka's so mad." Jen says Jessica told her [Jameka] right before the vote and that's why she was so pissed on the couch. Jen says it would have been better as a tie because Dustin would have been mad at Jessica.
12:15am (PST) - Jen talks about the annoying noise that Dick makes from grinding his teeth. Daniele says she used to do it too, but has stopped after wearing retainers. Daniele hopes the POV Competition will be a fun one. Jen says the art one was fun and Daniele says the pedestal one was fun. Daniele says that was the only POV she didn't compete in. Daniele wonders how Dustin was viewed by the public and Jen says, "They hated him. He was mean." Daniele says the worst scenario is going to be in sequester with Dustin. Jen jokes, "Don't do that to me, or you won't get my vote." Jen says that someone told her, "You can't play both sides." Then she says, "The only thing that sucks about Dick staying is that he'll be close to you, and I won't be."
12:25am (PST) - Jameka wonders if it was a hard lesson for Dustin to learn. Zach says, "The choices he made got him evicted. He went there because he chose to..." Zach says in the real world he would be upset with someone "knocking his faith being Catholic," but in here, he doesn't need to prove it. Zach says that Jameka brought back that faith, as he resented God "for the difficult times." Jameka says, "Hmm mmm. That's common."
12:35am (PST) - In the bedroom (with the tall beds), Amber is crying again and being comforted by Jameka. Jameka says, "You have to move forward. Do it for Lexie. You're not a quitter - don't do it...You can do this." Amber says, "Dustin's gone." Jameka says, "He did it to himself. It's not a 'you thing' but a 'Dustin thing.' And people know who E.D. is." Jameka talks about how Julie gave her [Amber] a chance to say something to her daughter. Amber asks, "Was it good?" and goes on to tell Jameka she wishes Julie would have said something about Jameka's niece. Amber hears Eric and Jessica talking in the next room and says, "It makes me so mad."
In the bathroom Jen found her facial mask and Zach says, "It tastes weird." Jen says, "You're not suppose to eat it!"
12:55am (PST) - Daniele says Zach is so excited because Nick said to say "Hi" to him in her letter. Dick once again calls Zach the "Howie" of this season. Daniele says, "Now that Dustin's gone...you're here and I'm HOH. This is the best birthday ever." Dick says he's happy they will be here another week. Daniele tries to calculate how many HOHs are left. She says that she can't win the HOH before the final four, so she'll be eligible for the next one. Eric comes in and says that it went off "swimmingly." Eric says Dustin was dying this morning, trying to get Eric to talk to him.
1:00am (PST) - Eric talks about his shirt that Dustin wanted to wear, saying he would just get a new one. Eric says Dustin did a great job volunteering himself as a pawn and Dick calls it "a blunder." Eric says when Dustin tried to get out of it, Eric had said, "It's too late," and "put him up." Eric brings up Amber's premonition and they laugh. Eric tells them, "I would love to see her on the block. She should go up in memory of Dustin's farewell."
2:00am (PST) - Amber, Jessica, and Jameka, are in the bathroom - all are brushing their teeth. Jessica and Jameka are talking about dancing. Jessica says she can take two to four days to learn a routine. Jameka mentions a team - she is on a squad. Jessica says, "Day one, I can't get frustrated." Jameka says, "Cheerleader camps, you can't get bored." Jessica responds, "I love cheerleader camp." Jameka relates, "I remember once at camp this girl...middle school, this was pom-pom...she was captain. I was co-captain. Dontcha know, we were the only two there in our group? We see other groups there with twenty-five or fifty people there. We had to perform. It was terrible." Jameka talks about the different types of moves in cheerleading and being embarrassed. She couldn't wait until her mom picked her up. Jessica asks if they had a coach. Jameka says, "No. It was just my mom."
In the kitchen, Amber and Zach are talking. Zach says, "Give me things to justify the way to go, not just the way people are going to go." Amber says, "Last week with me and Eric, I swore on my daughter..." Zach remarks, "That was stupid." Amber agrees, "I'll never do that again." Zach says, "Other people will give you supporting documents to survive. Use them. Or be like lemmings, and go with them over the cliff?" Amber says, "I'm not a follower. I believe everything everyone tells me." Zach says, "This game is based on how people perceive each other. Not lies. Just because me and my ex fought, doesn't mean we don't love each other. Like me and Jen, we fought. You, Amber, have to figure out what people are telling you, decide what this, this, or this is true, and then decide. You're part of the final eight. You have to decide how to play. You can't let someone else make that for you. You screwed up with Nick. You made the right decision with Dustin, at the time. You need to sit there. Never overlook anything. I try not to let things that can't effect me, effect me. You get to stay in the game. You can't let Dustin leaving stop that. Others make horrible decisions. Don't let that effect you. He's not the same as you. You have the option to take something good for yourself. Dustin took the prizes. He made that choice to end the game there." Amber replies, "I told him that was stupid." Zach says, "He made a choice to screw up his game. That was stupid. You have to live with your decisions...you have the chance to still win. You're still here. Dustin doesn't have that...get your ass into gear." Amber says, "Thanks Zach." Zach continues, "You're one person closer to the money. He's one person less. If you're someone who came to win a trip or money...or someone to win the game...you're here. Commit to the group. If the group commits, and go against it like Dustin - he went against the group - he was a good guy. He made inconsistent choices that you didn't." Amber says, "Thanks Zach...I feel better."
2:45am (PST) - The Big Brother bathroom is the place to be for health and beauty tips.Meanwhile, Dick and Daniele talk about nominations.
3:30am (PST) - Most of the houseguests are still in the bathroom and the topic is "how fast can you use the toilet, wipe, and wash your hands." This conversation has been going on for at least a half hour now. This conversation logically followed a long discussion of fast food.
3:55am (PST) - The gang is finally calling it a night, leaving Dick and Daniele out on the patio, discussing her birthday. She would love to have a bottle of champagne.
Eric is having a [silly] whisper with Jessica, while standing by her bed. She sends him on a mission that has him crawling in the dark - he was supposed to go to Jen's bed and make a panting noise, but he was busted. Jen saw him crawling. Now he's off again on all fours. Eric surprises Jen this time and they have a quick wrestle. They continue their horseplay and giggling in the dark for another five minutes.

Eric says he's going to streak for the girls, but he decides to do naked jumping jacks instead. Eric says, "I told you girls I'd make it up to you."4:20am (PST) - Everyone is wide awake again, even Dick joins them in the bedroom, but they continue their conversation [over Eric's antics] in the dark. Daniele comes in and says one of the production crew [James] said they either have to quiet down or turn on the lights. Eric chooses to sneak up on Jen again. Jameka closes the door as he's snaking his way around the round bed. He does several quick pounces and Jen laughs hard again. He officially goes to bed after a few more words with Jessica.
Dick and Daniele have gone upstairs to the HOH room and are discussing Carol, as Daniele tends to her split-ends, as always. Daniele says, "She was the lush of the house, always wanting more and more of the wine when it was available." Dick talks about the English version of Big Brother - with the guy going in to live with thirteen girls, who have already been there for two weeks. He says, "What kind of deal is that?" They talk about how Jen doesn't want her "kiddies" to hear her being called names, but yet she exposes herself all over the Internet. They both think it was really nice of Big Brother to let Amber have a shout-out to her daughter. Daniele talks about how she wears Nick's bandana during all the competitions and how nice it is to know that he's out there supporting her. She says, "He always said we got the wrong gay guy out. Well, we got him this time." Daniele says that she doesn't like the baby picture of herself [with Grandma] because her hair looks terrible and she looks ugly and Big Brother used it twice. Daniele whispers something VERY quietly into Dick's ear and Dick says aloud, "Everyone is rooting for you." He says he'll bet her dinner for two in London. She says, "You mean you'll pay for me and Nick?" Dick responds, "Yes and, in the process, I'll put in my application for their Big Brother." They both laugh really hard and Dick says, "Your Grandmother will never be seen with me again." Their strategy remains the same - they want Jen to go this week. Dick says, "Even Eric said we have the final five wrapped up. All we have to do is win HOH next week. The DDA, the Double-D Alliance, is not dead."
5:05am (PST) - It sounds as if they want to use Jameka as a pawn - potentially for three weeks in a row. They both go downstairs because Daniele wants to get a baggie for her Skittles. She notes the time and says she's going to bed. Dick says, "Goodnight. I love you very much." He goes outside, as she goes upstairs.5:10am (PST) - Dick is all wound up, walking around saying, "Unbelievable." He mentions that Amber has to go, then seconds it with Jen. "And Jameka. You're a sitting duck, baby. You're going home. One, two, three weeks. The least weak. Jen, Amber, Jameka, Zach." He apologizes again to Nick and toasts Danielle on the marvelous job she did today.
Daniele is in the HOH bed, watching the Big Brother spy cam (maybe watching her dad - everyone else is sleeping).
Dick continue to talk to himself, "My poor Mom. She must have been jumping up and down today, even though she's mad at me. And Vincent - my son...my son...who I miss so much. The one person I can really talk to. He must be very proud of me.....[pause].....and think I'm an idiot in so many ways."
7:45am (PST) - Everyone is sleeping.
