It's getting close to the eviction on
Big Brother 9. Who will go? Who will stay? Who won the power of veto? Was it used to save either Ryan or Sheila? If so, which one? Is there a new nominee on the block?
What is Sharon eating? Did Adam prepare her food using dirty mop water? Don't you think there's a lot not shown on the television shows? Not to worry -- if you don't have the 24/7 live feeds, I do. And, I'll give you the skinny on show spoilers if you read beyond the jump!

After being in the
Big Brother 8 house all summer for a reality television show, it's time for Amber Siyavus (also known as Amber Tomcalvage) to face the realities of her words and actions during that time.
While I didn't get a chance to talk to Amber myself -- probably a good thing -- our friends over at Buddy TV asked her some of the tough questions show fans had in mind in
an exclusive interview. I suggest you check out the entire interview, but I want to touch on one of the questions and her answers while adding my two cents in here.

Well, it seems that people just can't get enough Evel Dick. If you're not a fan of
Big Brother 8, that sentence might sound just a tad odd. No, I'm not into soft porn although I've heard it can be a fairly lucrative pursuit. But that's not what I'm here for, not at all.
I'm here because the folks at TV Tattler have
a new interview with both Dick and Daniele Donato, first and second place winners of the recently ended Spool of Lies. The ex-estranged, now just bickering on and off but much closer father and daughter duo answered some of the questions which are in the hearts and minds of the forever faithful Big Brother viewers.
Um, well ... it's kind of a schmaltzy situation, so I feel the need to schmaltz!

It's the day after the big (and often controversial) Evel Dick Donato first place win on
Big Brother 8, as well as his daughter Daniele's second place win. Together, they won $550,000. Not chump change for sure, but I'd like to see this show increase its grand prize to a million like other reality shows of its ilk.
Julie Chen interviewed both Dick and his loving Evel Spawn on
The Early Show -- the CBS website has
an extended version of that interview available online as well as the
initial interview itself.
But the kicker is
a set of video interviews with all of the houseguests posted by the CBS affiliate in Los Angeles. Those took place in the yard before the wrap party and include such treasures as Amber telling us she taught America it's okay to cry. Yeah, right. [A tip of the hat to commenter
OrkMommy for the link to the CBS backyard interviews!]

Tonight, tonight, someone will win
Big Brother 8 tonight!
BB voice piped through house: "Jackie, knock it off."
But, but ... I thought feeds watchers were allowed to sing! I know the houseguests can't sing because it's considered broadcasting, but I'm sitting here innocently at home!
I have no earth-shattering spoilers for you today as the big news will be the jury vote on tonight's finale. However, there have been some happenings on the feeds which may or may not make it onto the show.
For possible mild gentle spoilers, read on past the jump.

There was a new development inside the
Big Brother 8 house during last night and well into the wee hours of this morning. But I can't tell you about it. Well, to be more exact, I can't tell you right here about it.
Y'see, it may be looked upon as a spoiler and I can't write about spoilers on the main page. If I do, the Spoilers Gods will rescind my license to spoil. I tried to get a license to kill, but the best I could do was get a license to spoil. If that's ever revoked, I will be bereft -- a woman without a cause, a princess without a purpose.
Have I wasted enough space to get the jump? Yes? Good, show spoilers for the finale can be read after the jump. You've been warned.

While tonight's
Big Brother 8 show will be a taped recap kind of show, the 24/7 live feeds have been the real and current deal. Now, mind you, that doesn't mean that it's been sit on the edge of your seat excitement with just the Donatos in the house since Thursday night.
But in the wee hours of this morning, after the ShoToo feeds ended, we had what will probably be the most exciting news until next season on the real feeds. Oh, I don't mean we saw it, but we definitely witnessed the aftermath. Although blocked to the feeds, the jury questioning started at midnight Eastern Time.

Yes, until the Donatos leave the
Big Brother 8 house, I am so there! I live for the feeds and
RealNetworks once again makes makes feed withdrawals an unnecessary trauma in my life! Once the feeds end, they're going to start them up all over again just like they did last year. Rerun feeds, what a marvel of modern technology, eh?
Okay. You caught me. I'm being sarcastic. I will technically keep the feeds because I use the music download credit each month. But, no. I won't be rewatching the BB8 season.
There hasn't been a heck of a lot happening in the house with just the final two there, but jury questioning is coming soon. I'll give you the lowdown after the jump. At this time, very mild show spoilers ahead.

(S08E31) Possibly the most controversial season of
Big Brother is winding down, going out as controversial as it came in this year. We've had a rollercoaster ride with the houseguests this season.
And, as tonight's three-part competition for Head of House was fought out by the remaining three houseguests -- Evel Dick, Daniele, and Zach -- the controversy just kept coming at us.
We last left them in the backyard, standing on carrot-stumps, jumping a bunny. Of course, there has been a lot of talk about the show jumping the shark this season, but that's a whole 'nuther story.

Tonight on the live
Big Brother 8 eviction show, we'll see the final part of the three-part Head of House competition. Wait? Only the final part? Well, we'll see all three parts, but only the last part will be live. The first two rounds have been done already.
In non-spoiler feeds news, last night was the Howie Gordon and Kaysar Ridha chat on Real.com, coming at us through camera four on the feeds. Howie is still loud and carried his light saber.
What? You want to know who won competitions, not old
BB6 recycled? Read on after the jump for severe show spoilers!

Now, don't laugh at me. I'm sensitive, y'know. Not only that, but I've been up all night. Someone has to watch the Head of House endurance comps at the
Big Brother 8 house! Someone has to report back to you!
I knew the job was dangerous when I took it. So I settled back with a four-pack of Trader Joe's Espresso soda and unhealthy snack foods. I like to think of it as my own endurance competition. I will be the Head of House!
But if you want to know who won part one (no, it wasn't me), read on past the jump for the skinny. Severe show spoilers ahead!

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!

It's getting down to the wire. The
Big Brother 8 house has the final four players, to go down to the final three on Tuesday evening. We have a handful of houseguests left and only a handful of shows left, too. But I have hours ahead of me. After all, I'm a live feeds hound. I'm not proud.
Right now I know the new Head of House, played out in a competition after the last televised show. I know that person's nominations. I know the Power of Veto winner. Heck, I know who's going home Tuesday night.
I'll sell you the information.
Er, okay. For extreme show spoilers for both the Sunday and Tuesday night shows, read on past the jump!

Inside the
Big Brother 8 house, the second Head of Household competition has been completed -- remember, Evel Dick won the first one shown on the live double eviction show Thursday night. It was a short reign, with the second comp starting pretty much as the show ended here on the East Coast.
The new Head of House has made nominations for the next eviction. No, really. Would I just be telling you a spool of lies? I wouldn't do that to you, I swear on the life of my first (now long deceased) pet!

So, did you watch that whirlwind
Big Brother 8 show last night? Did you get dizzy? That was some action-packed hour of reality television! Both Eric and Jessica were sent packing within the hour. Well, actually Jameka packed Eric's things for him in the wee hours after the show, but he was out the door.
While the show ended with the Power of Veto competition, guess what?
You've got it. The second Head of House competition followed the live show last night. While the feeds blocked it, we know the results. Don't you want to know who's currently the Head of House? Read on for severe show spoilers!
