While she's on the phone, Eric's getting his next nomination from America. Jameka! Come on, America! Spice it up a little here. You're just handing him cash now. Eric is ecstatic with this decision and makes his way to the HOH suite to try to sell Zach on it. He does a whole song and dance about what a strong competitor Jameka is and Zach doesn't bite, noting that Jameka hasn't done a single thing in the game so far. Eric counters that that's the reason to get rid of her. She's dangerous, and she will win hands down if she makes it to the final two. Zach doesn't agree to anything, but his pea brain latches onto the last thing it hears, so I am pretty sure he's convinced. He says he is trying to figure out what the right decision for him is. I say team up with Jameka, tying the two person alliances. She can't play for HOH next week, but if you got rid of one of the Dicklets now, Eric and Jess would jump on your bandwagon to get rid of the other one in a heartbeat next week. Just saying.
Daniele is smart enough to see that this would be his best option, so she gets some private time with her brother to come up with a devious plan. If she could persuade Zach to put up Eric and Jessica, they would look completely blameless next week. Dick agrees with her, but how will she convince Zach? Well, she is wearing the tiniest bikini ever made. Oh, come on! Zach's not dumb enough to fall for that one! And then we get a shot of him filling his jeans with water and tying them around his neck in the hot tub. Oy. Come on, Zach, I'm really tryin' here.
Dicklet makes her move. She tells him that Eric and Jessica want him out, and if they're both still in the house next week the odds won't be in his favor. He had already taken Eric's advice to get rid of Jameka! Dammit. Recondition! He isn't sure at first, but when Daniele says...
...he starts to come around.
Dick joins them on the patio to chain smoke and use the term "thrown under the bus" for the eightieth time today. This is the dumbest term ever. I blame Panhandler Mia from Top Chef 2. The Dicks both promise Zach that if he puts up Jess and Eric, he's safe if either of them win HOH next week. He looks to the rubber ducky floating in the hot tub but gets no answer. Since "nominate Jess and Eric" is the last piece of information the rotisserie turkey in Zach's skull processes, my guess is he'll take the advice. Go ahead! Trust the Dicks! It's worked out great for everyone else who's done it!
Jess is pretty sure that she'll be put up on the block and Dicklet is positive she won't be. Zach has the chance to really change the game here, and I'm crossing my fingers. He convenes the HG's and tells them his decision was based on the relationships he's built so far. Uh-oh. Dick may have screamed and yelled at him and called him every nasty name in the book, but at least he took the time out of his day to acknowledge his existence. Sure enough, the first key he pulls is Dick's.
ARGH! HOW FUCKING STUPID ARE THESE PEOPLE???? And don't even try to suggest to me that he's masterminded a back door bonanza, because you know deep down in your hearts that he really believes everything the Dicklets have promised.
Even this duck is looking at you like you're a moron.
Dicklet and Eric are both safe, too, leaving Jameka and Jess on the block. He explains to Jameka that she's up because he hasn't gotten to know her. Actually you did, remember? You were the first one she copped an attitude with. She's not surprised by her nomination, nor is she amused. She vows to fight, and doesn't break down in a sobby prayer babble. You go, Jameka!
Eric knows that he screwed over Jess, and he thinks that she knows it, too. He gets teary eyed in the Diary Room and tells us he's devastated and then starts counting out the mounds of twenties sitting on the table in front of him. I'm the devastated one. No one has prayed in this episode, and I can't help but feel a little cold inside. As I press DELETE, I close my eyes and clasp my hands.
Dear God,
Please. PLEASE don't let the Dicks win.
Love,
Flipit

Janelle spinning across the backyard is the most WTF moment this show has ever seen. LOL every time I see her I get embarrassed for her.

Oh Flippity-Do-Da you little minx! You are once again brilliant in your analogies. I love reading your recaps, they have a whole life of their own. I've never seen anyone take such disfunctionality and make it humorous so beautifully!

It still astounds me that no one is touching the Dicks (ew). They have to be all totally fearful of Dick. It's unbelievable.
Knowing they are 33% of the house left and still leaving them is just incredibly stupid. And you are right, he won't backdoor them either.

great recap Flipit! Even this duck is looking at you like you're a moron. sooooo damn funny!
i loved Dick's "fight" with Zach. i was glad to see Dick picking on someone bigger than him, but mainly i loved how Zach was totally unfazed by Dick's ranting. i want to be on team Zach, but he really should have put up one of the Dicks.
Danielle's little pity party when Zach was complaining about Dick was really gross. *yeeeeeeeah, my dad is soooooooo awful, now you know how iiiiiiiiii feeeeeeeeeeel. (sigh) but if you put him on the block he will make your life miserable, then you will be the next one out* wtf? i don't understand how Zach didn't catch that--she isn't going to turn on her dad until the end. she wants to be in the final 2 with him to point out how awful he is so she will win. it looks like that is exactly what is going to happen too.
i really want to like Eric--outside of the house i would--i find men with no game totally irresistible. i blame the whole AP thing for making him look like such a weasel. poor Jessica.

It's so disturbing that the Dick's are still in the house. I think at this point everyone wants to sit next to Dick in the final two.
Dicklet probably didn't want the phone call because she didn't want to get dumped by the boyfriend on national TV. Boyfriend if you are out there. I'll help ya pack up her crap and set it on the curb for you. She's a skank like the skank she came from.

I never thought I'd say this but I miss Wamber. That cute little habit she had of telling God to go bless Himself, that adorable obese duck walk of hers, the constant snot dripping from her lengthy nose. The way she randomly announces to everyone what a wonderful person she is and how everyone loves her...I could go on and on but my heart is just to heavy..........Why God? Why?

Dear Flipit:
Excellent recap, as usual. Don't complain about Schoonie getting tonight's recap: You get to do the double eviction one. I'm afraid the damned Dicks are going to win--both of them. I can't understand why Zach let that opportunity slip by and took Dick's abuse and now tries to be buddies with him. Sorry, I can't. All I can think of is that his pea-sized brain tells him "Danielle good, Eric evil" every time he cogitates his choices. If the holder of the POV keeps things as they are, then both Jameka and Jess go home. That leaves butt-kissing, simple-minded Zach with the Dicks and...Eric. Wanna lay bets on the winner? Shades of last year, when we had to choose between equally repulsive Erika and Boogie.
Y'know, the apple didn't fall far from the tree. Dicklet is just as evil as Dick. And, damn it, Dick will still get $50K!
Re Eric: He did better than anyone else already. he's got $30K and counting, plus whatever the HGs get for being there, will enjoy a week in Mexico (at least), got to hang out with a cute girl that he normally wouldn't get outside the house and he played a pretty decent game as AP. As far as I'm concerned, the game's over.

It actually made me happy when I heard that Janelle was going to be on the show. I then grinned from ear to ear when I saw that picture of her spinning!!! I love her. I also heard that that rat, Eric, insulted her. I really hate his ass. I als9o hate him for fucking up Jessica's game. He needs an ass-whooping right quick. I hope he gets the boot and is found out.

Dear Amber's god, it's me, Lime23. Please don't let the Donatos win. Pleasepleaseplease. I really don't think they qualify as "good people". I don't even think they qualify as adequate people. Anyone but them, really. God bless you.
OK, here's the thing, now that Dick's rants have subsided (aside from his occasional comment about "if this had been real life, I would have killed her & buried her body in the back yard" -- yes, everyday dinnertime conversation, really), I shockingly find myself rooting against Dicklet even more. Can that be possible? Is that wrong? Probably.
And, Janelle. Oh, Janelle. What was that? Was that a Dr. Will twirl? I loved you in S6 & S7, I really did, and now this? plus, you're rooting for Danielle & Dick? what? WHAT? This is too much. I may have to go lie down now.
Tony A.: Does the double eviction mean both nominees go home? I assumed it would be another fastforward like last year (where they do all competitions in one live show); have you heard otherwise?

Hmmmm. I think they just speed everything up by telling people they have to make up their minds RIGHT NOW! So, Jess and Eric can kiss the house good-bye and...the Dicks win. DAMMIT!!! THAT'S JUST SO WRONG ON SO MANY LEVELS!!

If I remember correctly last year when there was a double eviction this is what happened. One of the nominees was evicted, HOH comp was played, winner of HOH had to pick 2 nominees right then and there, and then there was another vote and eviction.

For Jen fans, I don't know if this is old news, but just saw this video interview:
http://www.realityremix.tv/podcast_viewer.php?id=169
Aw, poor Jen. She seems kind of sad. It makes me want to give her a big hug & tell it's all going to be OK (just as long as she doesn't associate with Mike Boogie anymore).
