Thank You
I can't believe Dick and Daniele are up and playing cards right now. They know that tonight is a live show and there will be the POV ceremony and eviction but I don't know if they realize the first part of the HOH competition begins tonight. Zach has been sleeping tons so he should be good to go on that. Any takers on how long the endurance competition lasts tonight?
Because it's a live show tonight, I'll be liveblogging it so be sure to come back later tonight and chime in with your thoughts on the show and the competition with all of the other Big Brother nuts around here - including myself!
Finally, I would like to thank all of you for a fantastic Big Brother season here on Silly Hamsters. Y'all are a great group of people and I couldn't ask for better readers and commenters. Even though we all didn't agree on everything and root for the same people, I've enjoyed how respectful you have all been to each other and to myself. All of you make Silly Hamsters what it is and you should all give each other a big pat on the back and a nice and hearty cyber handshake.
Even though I don't care for the Donatos, I can't wait for the show tonight! Especially the first part of the HOH competition? How about yourself?

I'm sure they are just being their usual aggorgant selves. They think they can win no matter what...I still think they have played the best game this season...did I really just say that? I still don't know who I want to win...Eric or Jessica would have been my pick, but I guess with who;s left I will take Danielle as she has been the best competetor this season.

The Donato's should thank all the other foolish houseguests who got them to the final three. Focusing on ousting popular people instead of the most powerful alliance in the house will most assuredly go down as one of the biggest strategic mistakes ever. I am focusing my hopes on it being a Zach and Dick final two....surely they wouldn't vote for that bully to win the game. You think?

And as they sit there and play cards they continue with their personal attacks on Zach! What pigs... Give it up Donatos!! In your own words, "It's not personal guys!!!"
15 minutes of fame is coming to an end!!!!!!

P.S. How could I forget? Remember our fallen soldiers today and all those who lost their lives in the attack. May they rest in peace.

Can Zach compete for HOH again tonight? I missed that part of the game rules. Because I figured they were staying up all night with the knowledge that Jameka will be evicted and those two would be the only ones competing. They were saying the HOH comp will only be minutes long just deciding which one will let go first, Dick or Danni. Can you please enlighten me?
Posted by: Mamma B at September 11, 2007 05:55 AM
Danielle the best competetor? Gimme a Break! (Jesus, I just channeled Nell Carter)
That bimbo should've been evicted when she got too showmancy too early in the game. But alas, her criminal, thug, piece-of-poop-white-trash father threatened and imtimidated people so she rode his arse all the way to the end.
Sure, she is good at the competitions, but that would not have gotten her this far alone. Just like Janelle was good at the competitions last year, but still would not have made it to the end had she not been part of the Season Six Alliance early in the game.

Diff said: "P.S. How could I forget? Remember our fallen soldiers today and all those who lost their lives in the attack. May they rest in peace."
Thanks for that. I noticed a lot of the buildings here in downtown Charlotte have the flags at half-staff today. I wonder if they will remember to do the same on December 7th.
Posted by: EricC at September 11, 2007 06:06 AM
First, if they don't at least address Dick's cheating strategy, I'll be extremely disappointed. Even if he's not penalized, enough people know it took place that I think they need to explain what happened.
I've been thinking about all of the negative feelings being expressed towards the Donatos, many of which I share. While I appreciate the hardships they have overcome to get them this far, I can't say I "like" either of them, or respect their game play. Granted they have had the best strategy, but given the competition this year, that's not saying much. Janelle won a lot of comps without all the whining Dani exhibits. Dr. Will manipulated and controlled the house without all the personal attacks and disgusting personal habits of Dick. While I still wouldn't want either of them as friends, I admired the way they played.
I think the biggest problem is that while intellectually we understand that BB is a game about lying, cheating, and backstabbing, on an emotional level we still want to believe that "good guys" win. Dick and Dani have made it all to clear that that isn't true.
Posted by: Sparky at September 11, 2007 06:08 AM
Wow, I can't believe that another season is drawing to an end. I also am not a Donato fan either and even the last few days when I could not stand to tune into Showtime (because of them) I still had you to log onto and see what was up. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I will see you in a couple weeks when Survivor starts.
Posted by: Elle at September 11, 2007 06:19 AM
On another blog, they are saying that Zack should put himself up on the block tonight when Daniele removes herself, then Daniele will vote for Zack to go home, Jameka will vote for Dick to go home, then Zack since he is HOH will break the tie, sending Dick home. That is not possible though, is it? I thought only one person votes tonight. D&D for the final two! You both rock!
From HD - The HOH can not be nominated.
Posted by: Mary at September 11, 2007 06:21 AM
When I first tuned in at approx 4am BBT, all were asleep. D & D got up soon after, obviously having difficulty sleeping. I know I'd be awake most of the night if I were in their position!! lol
Posted by: Peggy at September 11, 2007 06:22 AM
HD,
Could you lead us all in a pray for all the people lost to 9-11-2001, I still cry about it, such a waste of life.. Since you are our leader, if you can't, I will understand..
From HD - My thoughts and prayers go out to all whose families and lives have been affected by the horrible events of that day.
Posted by: eekoms3 at September 11, 2007 06:32 AM
Speaking of reality shows,
I saw a promo that in the near future Christopher Knight (aka Peter Brady) and his wife Adrian Curry (aka winner of ANTM cylce 1) the stars of "My Fair Brady" seasons one and two will be appearing on the Dr. Phil show sometime in the near future as they are, surprise, near divorce. Should be pretty damned funny.
Posted by: EricC at September 11, 2007 06:37 AM
It disgusts me when people try to label people into "good" vs "bad" people just because they have a different background or way of life. Amber and Jameka were always trying this and look at how "good" of people they were.
Each of the hamsters has character flaws as we all do. Just because your hamster is no longer competing shouldn't give you free reign to create vicious attacks against the two hamsters who have competed the best (yes be disappointed that yours is no longer there, but why try to tear down the ones who are still there). It disappoints me that people only want to be negative and use repeated attacks against the Donatos in their postings. If anything this should tell us a lot about ourselves as we watch this game (myself included).
On a day like today (9/11), we should all take a step back and thank our lucky stars that we have the privilege to enjoy silly shows like this and make us reflect if even for only a moment on how we can make the big hamster cage we call our world a better place to help prevent the nastiness (and true evilness) that ended in 9/11, keeping those who suffered from the losses of the attack and those who are suffering from loss by having their loved ones in Iraq and other places around the world. I can only hope, we as humans, can raise above the negatives in life about us and help each other instead of be hell bent on destroying each other (with words or bullets). A hamster can always hope...
Posted by: David at September 11, 2007 06:48 AM
I can't wait either! I really think Danielle's strategy is to let Zach win HOH and pester him to death to take her. I gave up a long time ago wanting to like the winner of BB. I just want awesome gameplay and bold moves, and that's what we've got. Thank's for a great season, HD.
Posted by: Melissa at September 11, 2007 06:54 AM
I would like to thank you HD, I have really enjoyed your updates, comments,etc. I know that we all have our own opinions on who should win, who should leave the house. Even if we are right or wrong (including myself) I do respect those that have given their opinions. As we all know very well, anything can happen tonight. So good luck to D&D and even Zach. May the best person win. The endurance comp should be exciting tonight, I can't wait! This season has been a wild show, or should I say ride, like a roller coaster. With all that has happened in the house this summer, well at least we were never bored! Thanks again HD! I look forward to your comments about tonights show!!!!
Posted by: Linda at September 11, 2007 07:14 AM
HD I was pondering this morning a comment made after Thursday's show and JC's comment to Eric that Jessica was already at the sequester house.
Is it possible the Jessica eviction was not live but prerecorded earlier and the only live part was Eric eviction?
From HD - Jessica's eviction was definitely live. It is my opinion that the houseguests are sequestered individually in a place very close to the studio (if not on the studio itself). But that's just my guess.
Posted by: yessir at September 11, 2007 07:33 AM
I do not think what Dick did was correct, however, I think it was smart to set up something ahead of time.
Question, how is this any different than Johnny Fairplay on Survivor? He did the same thing by working it out with his friend that if he asked, he would tell the group his Grandmother had passed. No matter how you look at it, that got him an extra week in the game when he said he would stick it out.
I am sure on that game people coming in end up sneaking in messages beyond that as well, and in seasons after that they have tried to stop the leaks of tricks/information as possible.
But, if you are going to allow someone to get a message, I can not say if I was put into the house I would not think of options along those lines as well. Just as people have tried to send messages on the back of the planes on fly overs, this is a game.
I do feel as we come to an end CBS needs to step it up a little and raise the main prize to 750 or 1 million to keep the interesting and strange people to still apply. I fear if they do not the level of people willing to go through the aftermath of this season will be limited in quality.
Just my opinion of course.

Thank you for all the great BB info the season Queen-Mother-Hamster-keeper YOU ROCK!

Thank You HD...
We love you alittle more...
Posted by: eekoms3 at September 11, 2007 08:11 AM
i was wondering why they were up so early too...but then i realized they may have decided to get up early so they could take a longer nap during the day. be more rested for the comp tonight.
i don't know. i really have no idea on what i want to happen tonight. i'm not happy with anyone in the final 3.
Posted by: jj at September 11, 2007 08:16 AM
First thing on my mind today....GOD BLESS AMERICA! And may He watch over all those still dealing with the aftermath of 9/11.
Let Daniele lose everything. I am afraid I can't agree with the post that says we need to be happy for the Doanto's, as they have played the best game. I won't be sorely diappointed if Dick wins, but he has been unmerciful in the hateful nasty names he has called people as his way of intimidation. I want Zach and Dick having at it! Daniele will never be happy, money or not...she is an arrogant self entitled brat, who can't see further than her own nose. Let the games begin, and if by some chance she does pull through,ugh!
Posted by: Sandie at September 11, 2007 08:54 AM
Yes I think D&D got up early so they can nap later on. But, what happens if they don't get to nap? Keep sleeping Zach, get all your rest. Ha ha, Zach should get out some pots and pans this afternoon.... Wouldn't that be hilarious?! A little dose of somebody's own medicine.
I am looking forward to the show tonight. I was thinking back to last year when it was Booger, Ericka and Janie. Booger dropped out right away, and I think Janie was so shocked her hand came off the prop. Booger then had a good cry over the loss of Dr Delicious in the house. Ha ha, that was some good tv people.
I can't wait to see the endurance comp tonight, I might even have to fire up my feeds again. Showtime probably can't wait for a little excitement out of the hamsters for a change! Can't wait to chat with yall before the show, bring your snacks.
Posted by: BBFANINDALLAS at September 11, 2007 08:58 AM
I am excited and love the 3-part HOH! I too think sequester is different this year. Maybe because of the breakout last year. Still don't understand all the secrecy about it. Just because Zach didn't play the in your face or win comp game doesn't mean he's not worthy of winning. I have no respect for players who can't take what the give out (D/d). I also don't like all the player bashing they continue to do now. Guess they have nothing left to talk about. Looking forward to Survivor Blog HD, you'd be great!
Posted by: paminmn at September 11, 2007 09:19 AM
Just wanted to thanks for all your hard work. I got turned on to the bb online community last season, and I've enjoyed your site then and now. I'll definantly see you again next season as I'm officially addicted. Better late than never, right?
Thanks HD!
From HD - Most definitely! ;)
Posted by: Kit for Kat at September 11, 2007 09:21 AM
lol yes zach can compete once it gets down to the final 3 everyone does. so the donatos arent to bright if they think zach isnt ocmpeting 2night lol. and danis a baby and the only reason she is still there is bcause of her father. she has used him thru the whole game and the other hamsters should have voted one of them out like they did the other 2 enemies. GO ZACH
Posted by: FANATIC313 at September 11, 2007 09:26 AM
oh and forgive me...... TO ALL who lost someone in 911 and those still affected by it we will never forget and GOD BLESS YOU and your families.
Posted by: FANATIC313 at September 11, 2007 09:28 AM
I am pretty sure D&D know the final H.O.H. comps start tonight so it does seem wierd them staying up but I guess whatever puts you at ease.
I wouldn't be surprised if Zach or Daniele wins the endurance comp if they start off with that one like usual. I would give the advantage to Daniele if they are hanging like bats again. If it is one thing that reality shows have shown women seem to always outlast men in hanging by the legs comps. Anything else I think will be something more even. Though with the height difference between everyone it has to be hard to come up with something fair in a lot of these comps.
At this point I think I am more excited to see what the endurance and physical games are!
Since someone asked the difference between Fairplay's Grandma and Dick's supposed coded letter in my eyes and from my memories. I am to lazy and don't exactly have the time to google the exact details.
On Survivor they usually have a point where one family member or friend comes out to the location. Fairplay claimed that his grandmother was the one suppose to come out but instead his friend came in her place. Grabbing at the emotional heartstrings of his fellow contestants when he broke down because his grandmother supposedly died but in reality she was at home or whatever and never was the one he had requested to come out. Really no harm or foul just one big lie to play at the heartstrings of his fellow contestants.
Dick's coded letter, from what we can tell, was supposed to have indications of certain hamsters that were his biggest threats and whether or not those he had an alliance with really were tight with him or playing him. Providing key information to know who to target and trust which can be somewhat helpful in the game though people can turn on a dime. That is the only rational I can think for CBS saying it is okay plus the fact the information seemed so dated since Dick believed one of the people the information pointed a finger at was Joe who has been gone a long time in the game.
Yes, both incidents are ways to advance yourself in the game. The difference is one is to try and get people on your side and feel sorry to you much like Amber' various stories of hardships in her life. Sure you had a person there to help advance that idea and make it more believeable at the time but for the rest of the game it is just something there in the back of the contestants mind as one of many reasons to keep or get rid of a player.
The other was an attempt to get useful information to form strategy and get rid of key people as quickly as possible to advance ones self in the game. It is information that would definitely shape the game for weeks if gotten at the right time.
Sure he still has to get people on his side to make things happen but it does put targets on peoples backs that wouldn't necessarily have them if they didn't have that outside information. Much like the banner during the first endurance comp put a big target on Eric, he was practicly Dick' right hand man at that point, and Amber' back that wasn't really there before. That is why I have said a few times now I felt Dick should be DQed even though if you really think about it it is still a crap shoot because so many other people are in the game you have to convince to follow your strategy.
The game, I believe, should be based on the social activity and opinions of those who are playing the game. Not the hamsters friends, family, and fans coaching. Not going to touch on the producers/diary room that is a whole other subject for the conspiracy theorists.
Posted by: wump_scut at September 11, 2007 09:30 AM
Yes, let us have a moment of silence and pray for the people lost in that horrible event of 9/11. My heart goes out to the families. Oprah is actually having kids on her show today who have lost a parent to that tragedy.
D&D talked yesterday about sleeping most of the day today (Tuesday) so they could be prepared for the competition. They know the show's history very well so can't imagine they would not predict the events of tonight. They know what they are doing. As little as Dani is, she is very strong; I am surprised at how tough Dick is as well given his habits.
I, too, am anxious for tonight to start. I am looking forward to the blog afterwards as well and watching the live feeds. Unfortunately, at this stage of the game, as in previous years, the chill in the house is horrible; they all know it is a game so why do they have to treat each other so coldly? This is the time to psych someone out; keep your enemy close instead of ignoring them so they can plan and scheme. Look how much time Zach & Jam have been spending together; then D&D wonder what they are talking about; DAH!!!!!!! Zach wants to give her as much ammunition as possible so she can go back to the jury house and spill her guts. She is great at doing that; look how many times she went to Jess with all the gossip. Good thing Jam couldn't compete in the 5 HOH's; she would have been long gone; she was kept around only because she couldn't compete and we all know she couldn't win any comp.if she tried.
Zach has shown a side of him that is just like D&D; he is being very arrogant and says this was all strategy; nobody liked him at all and wanted him gone; if it wasn't for the Donato's he would have been gone. He doesn't get that even though Dani tried to tell him. I would like to see D&D to the end as they gave it their all throughout the whole season. Why should floaters win?
Go D&D final two!
Posted by: ImagineThat at September 11, 2007 09:42 AM
Hard to wait for tonight...Finally makes staying up all night worthwhile...Midnight to 3am (here on the east coast) is getting pretty old EVERY night...hopefully we have some fireworks tonight!! THANKS AGAIN, HD!!
Posted by: SuzieQ at September 11, 2007 09:42 AM
HD is this your last post? Everyone seems to be saying good-bye.
I am now rooting for Zach to win it all...leave the Donatos in the dust with their own fantasy world.
A special prayer goes to the victims of 9/11. Espically to the ones in Pennsylvania.
From HD - No silly! This isn't my last post!
Posted by: muffy1 at September 11, 2007 09:48 AM
D/D know at least one of them will be in the last part of the F3 HOH-so they're not too worried about the endurance I think (even if Zach wins, one of them has to win part two). You never know what can happen in that third part however-and if Zach does win the final 3 HOH, that would be the most amazing streak-winning 3 of the last 4 HOH's (two of which were must win for him) plus a POV. I don't know if that would hurt him however (the jury might believe he was delibrately tanking early on).
Posted by: David at September 11, 2007 10:13 AM
Its been another fun year of BB!! The Donatos are not my favourite but I have to give them credit; they played a really good game. Who says that striking fear into the other players can't be a game strategy!? lol
Thanks HamsterDame for another great summer of BB Blogs!
*go Zach go*
Posted by: Linda at September 11, 2007 10:19 AM
Dick was a disgusting bully through a lot of this game. It was not cool the things he said and did. He would have not been able to get away with those things in the real world. Obviously he has no charm or brain so he couldn't think of ways to talk to people like an intelligent adult to get where he wanted in the game.
Danielle could win competitions and she has somewhat of a personality but when all else fails she could call daddy to call out and hurt someone emotionally.
Dick brings up what other people have said, but what about him. He calls women all kinds of names. Can he not express himself without calling women bitches and cunts, etc? He said nasty nasty things about Dustin also that I definitely can't even type. His tactics were despicable. I agree with all who said we should have all strangers next season. And I hope a whole new set of rules. If you can't think of an intelligent way to play this game without calling people names or making them feel terrible about things that they have struggled to overcome then you are "scum and an idiot" Dick, as you would say.
I loved to hate Dr. Will & Mike Boogie at times but I had to respect their game. Their manipulation of the other HG's was superb and smart and although I didn't want them to win AGAIN they again deserved it because they got everyone to do their bidding. It has got to be a joke that D&D think they are anything like W&M. They don't even compare to the gum on the bottom of their shoes. And Daniele will never be anything close to Janelle no matter how much she bleaches her hair.
I am more than unhappy about the way the game has turned out. I'm hoping that Zach does win and the jury gives him the money because he's played a cleaner game.
I'm looking forward to the finale now.
Dustin who was so funny especially when he yelled back at Dick AFTER Dick went back in the house and Dustin was still in the backyard. Cute Eric & Jessica hopefully they will keep their relationship going. Jen who IS a beautiful woman too bad we, well at least I, didn't get her. Amber who tried to play the game but just didn't know how or maybe she just came in the wrong year, The Dick Year! Jameka who is sweet but really didn't play until the end and then couldn't cut it, could have been because she sat on the side lines too long. Last but not least Zach who is surprisingly at the end. He's not so bad, is he? I still can't quite figure him out I guess that's the chess player in him LOL I am though counting on him to win, since Jameka's obviously out, just to upset D&D. I give the others honorable mention Kail, Nick, Mike, Joe, Carol. Although those seven above are my favorites because we had more time with them. BB should have a mini game that lasts half the time of the real game with just those seven, that would be exciting to see what happens and who'll win then with the regular America's choice. Okay let me get out of here I have things to do. Love you all my BB friends.
Posted by: Cerenay at September 11, 2007 10:38 AM
I'm hoping for some entertainment tonight. It seems like this season got pretty dull once it got down to the 'Final Four'.
If both Donatos make it, I hope they vote for Dick since he was the one that made it possible for Danielle to still be there.
Posted by: Fodd at September 11, 2007 11:05 AM
I think Zach has a really good chance at winning the endurance comp. tonight. It may not last long is D&D are too tired to put much into it.
I'm excited for the show tonight. Live shows are always more fun.
Posted by: SunnyD at September 11, 2007 11:28 AM
I am just stunned that BB isn't going to mention that Dick attempted to cheat. They gave Jen a penalty vote for eating while on food restriction even knowing she was going home. This is their only way to mix things up a little during these last few boring weeks.
Posted by: Ryan at September 11, 2007 12:07 PM
Does anyone know if there is going to be a penalty vote against Dick for his cheating in the coded letter? Has there been any mention of it anywhere on the net? People keep talking about "expect the unexpected" tonight. Just wondering if the penalty vote could be the unexpected.
From HD - *sigh* LOL!
Posted by: Ronjj at September 11, 2007 12:15 PM
HD- I don't have the live feeds, so can you explain the medication debacle that another site is going on about? Some are saying that the DEvel was crushing Zach's meds? Donato lemmings are of course saying it was something completely harmless, and all in fair play or was it completely harming and no playing fair? sorry...can't remember...anyway, can you fill me in?
From HD - I saw him crush something of Zach's but I don't know what it was. They were tablets of some type. Perhaps somebody else can chime in.
Posted by: fawnhere at September 11, 2007 12:33 PM
Remember the endurance POV at the end of last season? The one that lasted like three minutes?
Mike Booger oops I mean Boogie said "Remember RIchard Hatch? Tehy have to take me to the finals."
I wish Dick would end up in the same cell as Richard Hatch
Posted by: EricC at September 11, 2007 12:34 PM
Since Survivor is filmed ahead of time, you couldn't do a coded letter in that game. The "dead grandma" routine Johnny Fairplay set up, didn't given him extra information about hidden alliances. It just made people feel sorry for him. The producers of the show checked with the family when they heard the grandmother died, and were let in on the joke. They let it ride, as they should. Last year's survivor had an awful bully, as well, in Rocky. I hated that guy. I don't like seeing people like that on reality shows.
I hope Zach wins tonight.
Posted by: sandic at September 11, 2007 12:40 PM
HD, your definetly my fave hamster and no matter who wins, i will be back next season! *evil laugh*
To the family of victims of 9/11:

Thanks HD ... sillyhamsters is the best anyway. I'm super excited. I realllly hope that Zach makes it to the final two. Two Donatos would just make me sick.
Posted by: rachel at September 11, 2007 01:27 PM
Please, i beg to the BB gods, do NOT let Daniele win this HOH. I can not stand this lil whiny barbie doll. All she does is complain about how 'rough' it is, how she has to get out already...You're 20 yrs old and experiencing something thousands of people could only hope to do...GET OVER YOURSELF YOU LIL BIT%H!
sorry for yelling.
Posted by: Andrew at September 11, 2007 01:45 PM
Loved the poems Rhymeintime and MammaB. I appreciate the comments about 911 and my heart goes out to all those who lost loved ones. I lost some good friends in Okla. City and tend to stay away from news casts on both of those days. My wish for the world is that no one had to go through anything like it ever again anywhere!
Dream on huh!!!
Posted by: Jimmie at September 11, 2007 01:45 PM
I just don't care anymore. The whole thing has obviously been rigged from the early stages of the show. I'm done with Big Brother forever.
From HD - See ya next season! :)
Posted by: Brian at September 11, 2007 02:04 PM
If Zach wins HOH, and makes the mistake of taking Danielle to the end, then he deserves to lose and Danielle deserves to win.
If Dick or Danielle win final HOH, I will immediately switch channel to something else. If I have to watch Danielle jump up on her father again like a 5 year old, it will make me sick.
Posted by: RB at September 11, 2007 02:23 PM
I have to leave for work in 15 minutes. I'm all for Zack winning tonight. Dick cheated and should automatically loose one of the next 3 comps. Just because Johnny cheated in another show does not mean he has the right to cheat. Johnny didn't do anything but make people feel sorry for him, while dick wouild have been able to use the information to his advantage and moved his game forward. It didn't work out that way but it is still cheating. If bb doesn't adress Dicks cheating then i will be so disappointed and wonder why they would allow them to cheat. I'm still pissed that they r letting him get away with all the other crap he has done. I want Zack to win, I want him to kick both their butts tonight. Dani has won comps but doing it riding daddy's shirttail. I need to leave now, My wife is gunna record bb tonight for me, but i will check feeds first because if either Dick or Dani win then they will be their arregant selves again and i'm so sick of them. Sorry about the spelling. Well good luck Zack, i'll be thinking about you and rooting for you. I so want you to win. Hey HD is there a way to e-mail bbproducers and complain? Would it do any good at all? Whats thw chance that Dick could automatically loose one of the 3 comps left for cheating? Well gotta, GOOD LUCK ZACK.......

I dont know why so many people can be against Dick & Danielle. They between them have played a far better game than anyone else in the house past and present. I know Dick has been a handfull this game but that was his strategy going into the game. The last time I checked no one has ever died (lol) from a verbal attack. Its all psychological warfare and for $500.000 I would use every weapon at my deposal. I wish them both luck and hope that Dick wins the big bucks because when it comes down to it The Dick Show was BB8 this season.

Take this with a grain of salt I didn't see the feed with Dick crushing something.
The med issue that some are mentioning possibly has to do with something I remember on the feeds where Dick and Dani were making plans for the endurance comp. Something to do with making ponchos to wear made of garbage bags to keep themselves warm and fear of some wet element being released.
I believe during this convo they also mention of trying to somehow make aspirin available they could take during the comp to help kill the pain and to give them a boost of caffeine. With out water available they may have thoughts of crushing it to make it easier to take.
I don't know any rules or anything when it comes to pain killers and this may be where this is coming from.
Total guess on my part since I been so off and on watching the feeds lately and have stopped reading the recap sites since they really weren't saying much.
From HD - I actually saw him crush some pills of Zach (Zach had no idea) in the kitchen on the countertop while Dani was sitting on a bar stool and watching. He put the pills in a little plastic bag and banged them with the meat tenderizer (I think it was the meat tenderizer). I just don't know what kind of pills they were or why he was doing that.

I again have to agree about the rigging. First and last season of this show for me too! Best thing about then entire BB thing was this blog. Hopefully, CBS will learn something about this season and cancel the show once and for all. From what I have been reading, this show has been sliding downhill. Not having seen it prior to this year, not sure about that; but I can't imagine any people worse than some of the trash we have seen this summer.

I hope Zach wins HOH and take DIck with him to the final two.
That would be a good lesson for whining miss "everything is due to me. I am the best and the most intelligent here"
2 nights ago on Showtime, she was talking with her father about the evicted HG and the shock they must have had coming home and seing what people thought about them. I think she is in for the shock of her live when she sees how people could not stand her.Also they were talking about people watching the show and the live feed telling them to get a life ...
Anyway, Zach NEEDS to win HOH, otherwise it's the end for him.

Does anyone else find it humorous that Billy Graham is on the hour before Big Brother tonight? Maybe not the same everywhere, but is in OK. Maybe Jameka has hope yet, LOL. Dick and Danielle are probably feeling very confident and not worried about not getting as much sleep as Zach. Could be a mistake. Do you think Dick or Danielle would throw one or the other under the bus? and go with Zach intentionally thinking they can beat him for half mil and forget about the other Donato?

HD---Please tell me where we can keep up with some of the HG's after this is over. Where, if any, will we be able to see the reactions when they find out about the AP.
Anywhere we might see Ambers face when she finds out about how her "Jewish" remark was handeled by America. I know she was sure America just loved her and she was wonderful.
Am sure D & d won't care what we feel about them.
Hope Jessica is the person I believe she is and will understand why Eric did what he did.
Do you really think the evicted HG's are where they can't talk with one another?? Guess that is my biggest hope now that Jam will be able to tell the rest about the anticts of the D&d.
Bless all those who lost loved ones on 9-11. Pray it never happens again.
HD you are the "BEST"
From HD - I'll be keeping up with Big Brother news as it comes in. Just because the season ends doesn't mean I do! LOL

I'm not as anxious for tonight's live show as I usually am. I don't want to see Daniele gloating after she wins POV. I hope there aren't as many recaps as last Sunday. I hope we do see some sequester footage (I think they've promised to show some in at least one sepisode and time is running out). I'm anxious for the HOH comp and hope Zach can win the first part so as to take a little pressure off himself. I'll be checking this blog to see what goes on after the show.
As for your last post, woohoo, bring on Survivor, ANTM, The Bachelor, etc. I love to hear what other fans have to say!

Thanks for the blog HD. You do an outstanding, integrity filled job and many of us appreciate it. I'm excited about tonight.

I can not stomach Dick any longer if he wins I will be so sick. I am cheering for Zach, who was my least favorite awhile ago but now I am so glad to see him not caring about Dick and his mind games and yelling at people enough is enough. And Daniele ughhh I wanna throw up. I hope they have a talk with Dick before the live show or they better be ready to bleep him a lot....
Posted by: dolphin at September 11, 2007 04:32 PM
Hmmmm, in looking as some other ideas... what if when Dani uses her POV and takes herself off the block, Zach puts himself up instead of Jameka. Then Jameka votes off Dick. And my understanding would be the POV would take over the HOH position and not be able to vote. Wouldn't that be an interesting turn of events. Especially since it doesn't look like BB is ever going to come down on Dick for his letter cheating incident. Probably can't happen though. But a gal can wish!
From HD - The HOH can not be nominated. End of story.

Dick told Danni that he was going put some asprin (?) in his pocket to take during for a boost of the caffine it contains....again (?) Maybe he thought crushing it would be easier to swallow.
All I know, even without my doctors degree, is that taking any over the counter meds like that without water/food and with ED's OBVIOUS health issues, it could be a real backfire for him...MAYBE all you ED haters will get your wish and he will not be able to finish the comp. because of reverse affects!
I do hope that know matter what he should really seriously go have his gull bladder checked out...BUUURRHHHHP!
Posted by: Mamma B at September 11, 2007 05:00 PM
HD - thanks for clarifying... on the inability of an HOH putting themself up. I figured it was remote hope. Or in the words of a infamous D. That Succcckkkkkkksssssss!!!! It's so unfair. SIGH!!!!!
Posted by: Sharon at September 11, 2007 05:20 PM
HD- does it say somewhere in the rules that the hoh can't nominate themselves? I mean if they are hoh and want to make that decision then that is their decision. That would be awesome if zach found a loop hole in that rule that allowed him to do that. Then dick or dani would go home (depending on if she takes herself or dick off)
From HD - It's been that way since there's been an HOH. The HOH can not be nominated.

Thanks for the reply HD!!!!

I'm just waiting for the eviction when Daniele turns on her dad since she told Zach no one can win against him in the F2. I know I'm reaching here, but she has the chance to prove she really is a player, and a loser by dumping her dad after he helped her get so far. She already refused to take a dive on the first part of the HOH to end the endurance part, already told him she will not share any of the money with him if she wins - why wouldn't she vote him out. She's so sure Jameka is no threat in any comp. I bet the Evel in her will come out tonight against the one who taught her how to be bad.

Next year Jerry Springer and his daughter.
Do we get to see this competition or just see the questions. It is Daniele's worst nightmare. H2O all over them.

Thank YOU for the wonderful blog and commentary. My wife and I have been watching the feeds since the 2nd season, and have been following SillyHamsters for the last several.
I am in China right now, and your live blogs have been a lifesaver this week! Thanks-a-million.
Today at work, I kept the live feeds running on the desktop for the entire HOH competition. I am SO glad Zach won. I was just getting ready to shut down the computer and head back to the hotel when it happend. I am definitely pulling for him now that Eric and Jessica are gone!
