(S08E29) Well, I never thought I'd see it happen, but Jameka went and made herself a deal with the devil.
The strangest part about the whole sequence was that the Devil asked Jameka to swear on the bible that she'd keep her promise.
It was the absolute last thing I expected her to do, but I'm guessing when $500K is on the line it's okay to forget your convictions for a moment...
All kidding aside, I never expected Jameka to make it this far in the game. She should be commended for the achievement, and I'm mostly joking when I say she let her convictions fly out the window (plus she never ended up swearing on the bible).
I really don't blame her for doing whatever she could to stay in the house longer. I just thought it'd be a little more difficult for her to strike a deal with someone who has treated her so poorly in earlier portions of the game.
After a rather lengthy recap of last week's episode events we got to see Dick and Daniele gloat about the Donato win in the most recent Head of Household competition.
It's important to note that the first thing out of Daniele's mouth was something to the effect of, "We need to get Zach out of the house." This is a key point for later in the recap because Dick and Daniele are ostensibly in an alliance with Zach.
The house guests were then greeted by a set of new pictures on the memory wall. The pictures were of various events that had occurred throughout this season of Big Brother.
Head of Household Competition - Picture This
In the HoH competition the house guests were asked a series of questions on the new memory wall pictures. If they answered correctly they'd take one step towards the top of the platform. If they answered incorrectly they stayed on the same spot. The first person to answer seven questions correctly would win one of the most important Head of Households in the game.
The game moved pretty swiftly, and after seven correct answers, Zach and Daniele both reached the top step at the same time.
The final question was a numbers answer. The person closest to the answer without going over would win HoH.
- What was the total number of house guests in the 13 new pictures on the memory wall.
After the HoH competition Daniele did her usual whining routine where she used the word "like" and the word "suck" an obscene number of times. The more this shows drags along the more she gets on my nerves.
Zach's Head of Household Room - Part Duex
It was another veritable snorefest during the unveiling of Zach's HoH room, but we did get to see a picture of Zach along with his dad and brothers. Zach also got a little misty eyed after he read a letter from his family.
Almost immediately, Zach was approached by Daniele about putting Jameka up for eviction. Zach showed some reluctance with this strategy which caused Daniele to get all frustrated. She ultimately left the room flustered because she could tell Zach had intentions of putting her and her father up for eviction.
Dick worked on Zach as well but got the same result as Daniele. Dick played the, "we're in an allegiance, and we would have taken you to the final three" card. I found that comment to be pure BS. The both of them were ready to toss Zach out the front door earlier in the episode. For them to try and play the alliance card is pretty crappy. Then again, at this point "it's all game" so you can't blame anyone for doing anything anymore.
Final Nomination Ceremony
Zach gave a strange speech during the nomination ceremony where he basically praised himself for making it this far in the game. Danielle pretty much rolled her eyes during Zach's entire speech and she and her father made several pompous comments once Zach pulled out Jameka's key and told her she was safe.
I'm absolutely done with the Donatos at this point. Their cockiness and piss poor attitude about most things has me pretty much despising them and I'm glad Zach did what he did. I pray that the nominations hold after the PoV competition on Tuesday.
I never really saw it before, but Daniele is just a passive aggressive, less articulate version of her father. I think I let her pretty smile and lovely figure blind me this entire season. I can't wait for her to get the old Italy.

I thought Jameka said she *wouldn't* swear on the bible? Maybe I was just hearing those voices in my head again...
The tie breaker wasn't really that hard (at least I don't think). From the little bit they showed of the photos, you could say there was an average of 5 people per photo this gives you 65 total (correct answer was 69, if I'm remembering correctly). Heck, both of them figured an average 4.5 people per photo (giving their two answers of 58 or 59, depending on how you round...)

What CBS didn't show the viewers was Dick cheating. Send him home!

Let's all just hope that jameka or Zach win POV. Odds are not in their favor due to previous competiton results but let's the Donato's gets what they deserve.

I cannot believe that BB is not doing something about Dick's coded letter. If this happened on the UK BB, that houseguest would be punished or evicted. That is cheating and CBS needs to deal with it.

I thought we already know that Daniele won the POV and Jameka due to default was going home? Am I in the twilightzone? Or was whatever posted before a reference to what will be aired on Tues? Thanks for the info

Seriously. People, stop posting spoilers in the comments. Some people are enjoying the show (even with the pure entertainment value the Donatos provide- it's just a game, remember) WITHOUT the live-feeds. If you aren't sure if we've already talked about something then do us all a favor and DON'T say anything or take it off-line.

Those contracts the players must sign just have to be lock solid encompassing, because if they knew what we all knew, there'd be some lawsuits over manipulation.
Eric's exit interview was pretty damning, I thought, and if I was CBS I would have wanted to edit that out. Dick and Danielle will be finalists because in part "America's Player" was essentially paid to vote a certain way. You can argue against it, but because you also argue FOR that line of thinking means there's probably a potential for lawsuits here.
In the long run, it's just a game show with people I quit caring about a few weeks back hanging around.

We all do know that this is not reality, and its just a show. I hope no one was offended when I typed the question that i did. I love reading all the posts about big brother on here, so I typed WHAT WAS POSTED on here before-as in written about by the TV squad. Remember before anyone gets upset, its a freaking silly stupid show. Not real life. Nothing big. If you are still stressed out I apologise and want you to focus on something bigger and more important that watching this TV show. I love you all.

I completely agree about the spoilers being posted in the comments. I strictly avoid reading the live feed updates and watching Showtime, no matter how tempting. Any way the blogger could monitor and remove any spoiler comments? I know they have a life outside of this and it's not fool-proof, but this is such a disappointment!

If Dick or Daniele win this game, I will be very disappointed. The entire game they both treated people horribly and betrayed others to stay in. They are so cocky and stuck on themselves. You'd think Dick and Daniele were dating instead of father and daughter the way they hang on each other at times. I feel so bad for Zach and Jameka that they have to live with two sickening, disgusting people. Go Zach and Jameka!! I hate Dick and Daniele!!

Yes Dick and Danielle have treated people horribly but name me one Big Brother where the winner was a nice person who never lied to someone, talked about people or made fun of them. Do you think last year's winner Boogie is a saint?

Boogie was much more likable and charming than D&D.
If D&D are the final two, I believe Dick will win, since Danielle has pretty much betrayed so many others, and has proven herself to be much more evil, calculating, and cold-hearted than he is. If she were smart, she'd use the veto on herself and then vote Dick out, but she doesn't have the guts. She'd definitely win over Zach, but seriously doubt she will over Dick. He's the more likable of the pair.

"Boogie was much more likable and charming than D&D."
Not in my opinion. Sure, Danielle is a whiny, immature, obnoxious, "what's in it for me?" brat; and Dick can be extremely intimidating, vulgar and offensive when the occasion calls for it; but I would take either of those two any day over Mike "Boogie" who conned, lied and show-manced his way to win last year's Big Brother.
At least with Dick, what you see is what you get, as rough and impossible as that may be to tolerate at times. With Boogie, almost everything that came out of his mouth was a lie. Boogie winning last year's Big Brother was (for me) the most disappointing Big Brother finale. And, yes, even Danielle possibly winning this season won't be as bad.

D&D have dominated this game through and through, whether it was by winning competitions (POV's, HOH's, etc), lying, making alliances, breaking those same alliances, intimidating, vulgarity, etc. Yeah, Daniele is irritating by whining all the time, but I can't imagine being in that house is all too much fun. D&D deserve to win, not some coasters! Like Dave said, name a BB winner who hasn't done a portion of what they've done to win. It's a game poeple! They are playing the game to win, not for second place. Plus, in my opinion using religion the way Jameka does to improve her image is just as bad. His name is Evel Dick, what did you expect? You have to be sneaky in this game, that's what makes it interesting, and half of the reason why we watch! People need to stop taking everything to heart, or your the ones getting Big Brothered! I'll be happy when a Donato gets crowned the winner.
