Psst. Hey, you over there. Yeah, I mean you. Don't you want to know why Daniele Donato of Big Brother 8 is smiling? Perhaps she's smiling while saying "this sucks" and "I hate these people" through clenched teeth.That's a possibility, you know. After all, we're talking about Daniele whose mantra is "this sucks." Perhaps she'll reach nirvana and inner peace if she chants it enough. Maybe she'll have an epiphany one day and solve the world's ills. Could she possibly be a shiny happy people in disguise?
Then again, the real probability behind all of this is that I've managed to waste enough space to avoid spoilers on the front page. Read on for spoilers for the Tuesday live show!
Um, she's smiling because her father, Evel Dick, is trashtalking Zach. I guess it's highly unlikely she'll be a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize, eh?
Since the show is down to four, the house is not only a house divided, but a house really toned down a lot. For the most part, Daniele hangs out with her father while Zach and Jameka are in another part of the house. Jameka floats between the Donatos and Zach (no surprise there), but usually gravitates back to Zach.
Zach can't vote, nor can he be put on the block as he's the current Head of House. Jameka, the only other houseguest still in the game, is the only one who can go on the block in the place of a saved Donato. Whichever Donato is removed from the block is the sole vote to evict this week. Goodbye, Jameka.
No suspense, nada.
So, we had no excitement over the weekend since the Power of Veto competition. Normally, I'd know by now if Daniele used the veto -- which I'm sure she will -- and, which Donato was off the block. But that's not the case this week. They held off the Power of Veto meeting until the Tuesday live show.
So I've been watching the human equivalent of grass growing since Saturday night. The Donatos have been gloating while Jameka has been helping Zach study for house-related trivia questions. They know it's to be a live show out of order and think Big Brother is wrapping the season more quickly than expected. But they were always a week off in the time they expected the season to be over.
Alas, my only real spoilers this time around are spoilers I've posted before. But you'd wonder if I didn't post, so there it is. And, as the houseguests love to say, it is what it is.

I personally think that Dick should get a house vote against him for cheating just as Jen did. Then Zach gets to vote who goes home. CBS has been playing favorites with the Donoto's all along.

Guess I missed something - what did Dick cheat at?

Irene:
Allegedly, Dick put a different coloured ball in Jameka's tube.
The other alleged cheat is Dick's letter from his son held cryptic code as to who Dick could trust. However since his reign was so short the letter came too late.

Irene: Dick has said that the letter he got from his son when he was HoH had coded messages in it that told him who to trust and not trust in the house.
I don't think it's a big deal. I mean, it would have been if Dick had won HoH about four weeks back, but by the time he got the letter, the people he was supposedly told about were already out of the house.
I still say it would be AWESOME if Daniele took Dick off the block because he did so for her earlier in the game and then Dick voted Daniele out of the house. I think he could possibly win the game if they saw him make that kind of play. As it is, if he gets to the final two, he's playing for second place.

True, when Dick got the letter, Jess and Eric were gone, but his kid didn't know that was going to happen when he wrote it, and neither did Dick because of the double eviction.
Cheating is cheating; the rules state that they're not supposed to get any information or have any contact with the outside at ALL. So all this will really do is guarantee that no future HOH gets a letter from home (thanks, Dick and Dicklet, you suck), because as of right now the producers and CBS are obviously throwing the game towards these two douchebags. I mean, it's painfully clear and completely unfair. These new producers have NO idea what they're doing, they just screw the pooch at every turn, and have this entire season.

BB allows letters, who is to say previous letters haven't contained codes of the same nature? Or the phone call from home, for that matter? There is no way to guard against it other than to eliminate those things completely. Dick acknowledging it doesn't seem like cheating to me...

I no longer mind no tbeing able to watch it. I am sick of Dick. He should be disqualified for the ball thing.
He is a jerk and CBS rewarding him for behavior like that lowers the value of the show and perpetuates poor entertainment for family time. Kid s see this and think his behavior is ok.

How poor of CBS

DUH! Dick did not have to show a single sole his letter, the fact that he did and outed his son..proves he had nothing to hide. Would he be stupid enough to blatantly cheat after all the miracles he has pulled off? Hell No.
LOOK BACK AT DAY 42...IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE DICK HAS PLAYED A BEAUTIFUL GAME. THIS IS THE DAY THAT JESSICA PUT HE AND DANIELLE UP AND HE PUT THE TARGET ON HIS BACK BY MAKING THE OTHERS HATE HIM! He did whatever he had to do and when you watch this you realize what a great player he is and HE DESERVES TO WIN, AND SO DOES DANIELE. It also shows that ZACH threw competitions because he felt save because of DICK AND DANIELLE....Go back and do your research..he did what others refused to do to win POV -talk about pressure he had to make his last shot by hitting the pole WOW! "Ain't that a bitch, come on princess you been blowing me kisses for a week now, what no kisses he said to Dustin. Then Danielle goes upstairs and gets sympathy for having Dick as a Dad..stategy. But who knew Dustin would offer himself as a courtesy flush...wow then he makes a deal with Jessica and Eric...are you listening people..like it or not he and Daniele either lucked out or played well to get here to the end...So entertaining and great to watch them again, go to Comcast on Demand and hit Network Shows and then go to Big Brother and watch and remind yourself what has gone on!

They reviewed the tapes. Dick didn't put a blue ball in Jameka's tube in the comp -- one bounced in, nothing to do with him.

It is so humorous how much energy is spent hating Dick and Dani, as they say money is the root of all evil. These two deserve to take it all home, I wished for Dani to be in the end and there she is. GOOOOO DANI!!!!

So, does anyone know what is happening with the endurance HOH? It is set up for Zach to win, but I hope he doesn't....they are probably still playing at this hour which is 9:45 Mt. time...the only reason Zach didn't win endurance before was because he wasn't trying, so let us know ASAP.

Danielle evidently got hit with the rabbit and fell. She was crying and cold. Went to take shower and dress warmly. Oh, and eat Macadamia nuts.
Dick is berating Zach constantly with insults. Since Danielle has been out there have been 2 drops of the feed on Showtime. The rabbit is still not working. They are just standing there with hands on keys and getting soaked.
Did I mention Danielle likes Macadamia nuts?

No shots of outside, just Danielle eating, again.

The door was shut for a while keeping Danielle in the house. When she got back outside Dick told here that they had to pick one arm to hold the key with and stick with it.
Seems that the rabbit slowed down under her feet and caused her to fall.
The cold water is coming down hard now.

Dick has no shoes on and told Danielle that his right shoulder is sore. Zach is now taunting Dick. This is really interesting. Dick harping on the same topics for the last hour and a half and Zach not saying a word til now. Uh oh, feeds off again.

Well this Last HOH is bull!!!! From what i understand the device broke and Daniel landed on so she lost the first round and then the guys running the water on Zack & Dick targeted Dick. And I'm not sure if anyone relives it but Zack has said the whole time that he is the producers favorite and that he didn't have to go through the same process to get in the house he said that the producer just asked him, so it makes you wonder who is CBS really pulling for, in my opinion Zack is a graphic designer so i am wondering if he did not do some work for the producer and they just let him on the show or if he is simply just friends with him."just something to think about" and for me GOOOOO DICK AND DANI they have played an amazing game i rate them up there with Will & Boogi. the Donatos Rule good luck to them and cant wait to see them in teh final 2
