'Big Brother 8': The tide is changing

Huh. All this time, when the captions on Big Brother 8 said "Evel Dick," I assumed it was a typo, but I guess he's styling himself after Mr. Knievel.

Anyway, I might have just gotten dragged back in to this train wreck. Dick and Daniele were sure they were getting Eric out of the house, but the vote split the other way, and Kail is out. Dick was furious, screaming at the people who he believed were going to vote to evict Eric, but none of them seemed to care. I think his act might be wearing thin.

Then Jessica won HOH, and since she's Eric's BFF, things shouldn't be as awkward for him with the whole "America's Player" thing, at least for a week. I just hope this group doesn't get too cocky. But they probably will. And then I'll be annoyed with the show again.

The most notable moment of the episode (beside Julie giving away an answer during the HOH competition when she called Eric "Nick" -- Nick was the answer) was Amber's total meltdown against Eric. Apparently at some point, she spilled some dark secret about a lie she had told her boyfriend, and for some unknown reason, Eric told Dick about how he had information on Amber that he was keeping in his back pocket to use against her at some point. What on earth would have possessed him to say that? Anyway, she confronted him in front of the whole house, and it was ugly. But since people voted for him to stay, I think there must have been some aftermath we didn't see.

Yes, I know if I was watching the feeds, I would know what that aftermath is, but I'm not that back on board with the show.

I think they need to target Dick because 1) I'm tired of watching him yell at everyone and 2) I think Daniele would play a much cleaner game without him. I feel bad that she's been saddled with this heavily tattooed emotional baggage.

Did you miss Sunday's episode? There's no blog recap. I missed the episode myself, but read that Dick and Danielle were nominated for eviction.
