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!]

Fans of
Big Brother 8 have noted many changes this year with Allison Grodner at the production helm instead of Arnold Shapiro. Starting with a rather odd
Alice in Wonderland theme which hasn't quite all come together in the long run to iffy casting (okay, Amber) issues, it's been a most unusual season for long-time viewers.
From extremely crude treatment of others by one houseguest to another who really came across as not being stable enough to be on the show, it's been one brouhaha after another. The latest question from the fans is -- where is the footage of the sequester house?

Every week AOL's
The TV Tattler will have an exit interview with the most recently evicted houseguest from
Big Brother 8. Being the fan of the show and its live feeds that I am, I feel the need to not only share a bit of the latest interview, but add in my own two cents as I do!
The shock at his eviction last week on the show was as real as we're ever going to see on reality television. He surely thought he had it all in the bag, didn't he?
Let's see what he had to say in
his exit interview ...

Well, well, well ... did last night's show surprise you? It wouldn't have if you knew the happenings from inside the
Big Brother 8 house as they happened!
I was letdown by the abbreviated segment with the "mysterious visitors." Watching it on the feeds was almost magical -- the barbershop quartet sang five or six songs. But then on the show I think they knocked the whole thing down to two minutes. On the feeds, the Mini-Mad Hatter flubbed the line "a stitch in time saves nine" substituting the word "snitch" more times than he got it right. Was that shown? Nope!
Nominations are in.

Tonight's live eviction
Big Brother 8 eviction show should be anything but run-of-the-mill. I predict Jule Chen will flub something new and different this week! No, that's not a spoiler, it's just an educated guess based on past experiences.
But, if you read on past the jump, you'll see how it seems (this moment in time) the vote will go down. Who will go home? Although these houseguests tend to waffle right up to the last minute, I can tell you the latest.
Beware -- show spoilers ahead!

Wednesdays tend to be quiet days in the
Big Brother 8 house. Since they've been featuring the voting live on the Thursday eviction show, they no longer vote on Wednesdays. Usually all that happens is they receive the HOH camera and the Head of House gets to post a
diary entry for the CBS website. The linked entry is Daniele's as Jessica's entry won't go live until late tomorrow.
But something was a bit different about today in the house. If you just have to know, read on past the jump.

Have there been more confrontations inside the
Big Brother 8 house? Have there been fisticuffs? Who's on the block? Who won the Power of Veto?
Who's on first? What's on second? What is Evel Dick doing with all those cups? Is it an upside-down street scam?
For the answers to those questions and more, read on beyond the jump for the latest news from inside that
Big Brother House of So You Think You Can Be a Jerk on National Television.

Spoilers! Get your
Big Brother 8 spoilers here! Fresh, hot off the press, spoilers! What? There is no printing press here? Uh-oh. I'm going to have to rethink my approach here, huh?
If you watched last night's show, you only saw the food competition and the nominations -- Dick and Daniele. But a lot has happened since then. Not only has the Power of Veto competition been held, but so has the ceremony!
Are the nominations the same? Did the Power of Veto save someone? For the latest news from inside the
Big Brother House of Mounting Misery, read on past the jump. These are spoilers, mind you!

Have I said before that I don't like any of the houseguests on
Big Brother 8? If not, let me get it on record. Oh, I'm not saying I would be good on the show, but I'm possibly too sane to ever think of being there!
I've watched the live feeds and the show every year it's been on. But this is the first year that I really don't care for anyone because each time I think someone is okay, they do or say something incredibly stupid.
Oh, but I'll still watch the train wreck and report back to you. Did you know nominations are in? Did you know that the Power of Veto has already been won? For show spoilers from inside the house, read on...

After Thursday night's
Big Brother 8 eviction shocker (not such a shocker if you've been following the live feeds), whatever could be happening in that
Big Brother House of Undying Devotion?
Is it possible that Eric and Evel Dick have mended fences and have agreed to be golf buddies on Sunday mornings? Has Jameka gone to the Dark Side? Has Amber gone a day without crying?
The food competition was held and new nominees are up for eviction. I know the skinny. Don't you want to know? Read on after the jump --

Tonight's the big live
Big Brother 8 eviction show! We all know that Jen won the Power of Veto, removed herself from the block and Eric was nominated in her place. We know there are Bunny People who could possibly be "late for an important date." We know Eric and Kail are both nominated for eviction.
But do we know who's going home? Oh, yes ... we'll know in a few hours. But, if you just can't wait and must know which way it seems the vote will go down, if you must know the skinny on what's really been going on in the house ... this post is for you!

Hey there, it's Wednesday and the
Big Brother 8 live eviction show is tomorrow night. Why, I think it's good day to have waffles for lunch, don't you? We can't have eggs because too many of the houseguests have an adverse reaction to them. I have to talk breakfast food as the houseguests are just starting to stir over on the West Coast. I'm ready for lunch here -- perhaps a bologna sandwich.
So, have things changed in the house? Are alliances all awry? How will the vote go tomorrow night?
I can't tell you what's certain for tomorrow night, but I can let you know what the houseguests are thinking this minute. Beyond a minute and they seem to, er... waffle. For the latest happenings from inside that
Big Brother House of Warring Wombats, read on beyond the jump. Beware -- show spoilers ahead!

Despite
Big Brother 8 executive producer Allison Grodner's best efforts, this season isn't shaping up to be my favorite one. I start to like one of the houseguests and immediately he or she will do something incredibly stupid or behave in such an outrageous way that I question my own sense of reason. The theme of the house itself is okay ... I like
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
I think America's Player should vote out the whole cast and get new hamsters in for the rest of the season. I think this is the first year ever I haven't had a houseguest I'm totally cheering on. Oy!
Nonetheless, I still enjoy being a fly on the wall via the 24/7 live feeds from the house. For the latest
Big Brother House Hamster Happenings, read on beyond the jump. Beware -- these are spoilers!

What's that in the sky? Is it a banner plane? Why, yes, I do believe it is! Since the producers have stopped the banner planes, I find this one to be a bit odd. It's not going over the
Big Brother 8 house, it's coming from it!
"The show lies - the POV Ceremony has already been held."
Of course that's what it says. Would I lie to you, my alliance? I swear on my dead first pet's life that I'm all about truthness. (Yes, Kail's word, but I'm going to steal it.)
What? You think I'm a waste of time and space? Well, I am. Until you read past the jump, that is.

Let's see ...
Big Brother 8 is on at 8 PM tonight in most viewing areas. They'll be showing the finish of the Head of House competition. They'll probably show the nominations.
Since I have the live feeds from within the house, I know spoilers about not only tonight's show, but even the Tuesday show! I'd say I know who's aligning with whom, but you need a scorecard to keep up with that as of late. But I'll tell you what I know. I'll let you in on my thoughts about the latest events from that
Big Brother house of Sloppy Bunnies where we'll swim in Amber's tears.
After the jump, that is. Beware -- show spoilers ahead!
