It's our first live eviction tonight on Big Brother. Will Amber be the one to cry, then be evicted, then cry some more? And then cry? Or will Carol march out of the house with dignity while Amber cries? Check out what happens after the jump!
I've also thrown in a couple links to some cool stuff from the live feeds, courtesy of the Big Brother Tipline, which is still open for business (fun or dirty live feed links can be emailed to bigbrothertipline[at]gmail[dot]com.
Julie Chen is sporting a fairly conservative black ensemble tonight, save for the giant string of pearls around her neck, which appear to have come from those huge, Flintstone sized-clams. Are they trying to make her head look smaller by throwing gigantic necklaces on her? Because...it's not working. The best way to do that would be to remove some layers of hair. That's not an option, of course, because that's where she keeps all of her attachments, sort of like the back of a vacuum cleaner. Fun fact: She has a perfect dustpan-shaped hole in the back of her hair. It's for when the floor gets dirty!
My necklace also doubles as a bullwhip. Do not anger me, friend.
The Chenbot tells us that it's Day 13 in the Big Brother house, and then she recaps the basics of the rivals twist for us, including referring to the nominated Carol as Jessica's former "Best Friend Forever". Julie's former Best Friend Forever is Connie Chung, but we won't get into the whole 'Asian Anchor Robot Wars of '85' thing right now. It's a long and bloody story.
BUT FIRST, it's time for our token 'Which Nominee Will Go Home?' segment. Amber tells us that she doesn't want to go home because she's not here for herself, she's here for her FAMILY. Remember how she was like, "We get it, your name is Jen!" about all the shirts last week? Well, we get it. You're here for your family. Now shut your crazy, weird-looking cakehole.
In the bathroom, Dustin tells Amber that he feels very close to her and would never betray her, effectively pledging his allegiance. Amber watches pensively while wearing a freaking WWJD Bracelet. Apparently, Jesus would engage in a summer long Machiavellian power struggle that demands a large amount of lying and subterfuge and frequently involves people having premarital sex on camera. But he'd do it FOR HIS FAMILY, YOU GUYS. He just wants to give the Virgin Mary a whole bunch of money, like 25,000 dollars.
Jesus definitely wouldn't cry this much. Or get hit in the face with a tetherball.
Meanwhile, Carol works the other houseguests, including Jen, who is sitting on the hammock eating half a cantaloupe. Jen tells Carol that she's the smartest choice to keep in the house because she doesn't have the alliances that Amber already has. Holy crap, could Jen actually know what she's doing? Maybe the exam to become a member of Jensa is a lot harder than I thought. I just figured it was mostly colors and shapes.
Carol then goes to Jessica and offers to "tear through the house" with her. Jessica dismisses her quickly, because five dollars buys a shitload of Lisa Frank, so I wouldn't be so quick to forgive her, either. Keeping your Trapper Keeper in unicorn glitter stickers can get a little pricey. I'm just saying.
Carol works Eric, Joe, and Zack to varying degrees of success, but it doesn't look like she's making very much headway. Zack even debates evicting Amber with Mike and Nick, but it doesn't really look like they're seriously discussing the possibility. They take the discussion to Kail, who says she'll do whatever everybody else wants. This is becoming a pattern with her, and that doesn't make for a very interesting houseguest. Jen comes in and catches them talking, which causes them to abruptly exits. Jen asks Kail what Nick and Mike are going to do about the eviction vote, and Kail tells Jen that she doesn't know. Most people think she was being sly here, but the thing is that she hasn't thought for herself yet at any point, so she's just telling the truth. I don't know if that makes her a better Republican or not.

Yeah, you did, Schoonie (You have the best screen name ever). Jessica said that she will most likely see Carol in 10 years at the high school reunion. Little does she know that CBS is already planning the high school reunion. It's called THE BIG BROTHER 8 FINALE.
Oh yeah. And thanks for finding that video for Amber getting hit with a tether ball. I'll play it back over and over again so I can have a Lisi effect like what she did for you with the Survivor faceplant.
And one more thing, I'm gonna try to add you as my AIM buddy.

Schoonie!
You are so damned funny that if you weren't already in a flirtmance with Pegster I would totally flirt atcha!
"Keeping your Trapper Keeper in unicorn glitter stickers can get a little pricey. I'm just saying."
It really is expensive, especially when you add the scratch and sniff stickers and you Carol totally has the expression of someone who sniffed some foul smelling stickers.
Good call on the overuse of "Awkward" on the feeds. It may have been funny once (and I'm doubting that) but it is so far beyond not funny now. Ugh.
"With tee ball, everybody gets a trophy, that's the awesome part"
Aww that's so cute, I can totally picture you smiling proudly with your teeball trophy.
"On a side note, Harry Potter and the Purloined Five Dollars is the lesser-known prequel to the series we all know and love, in which Harry borrows five dollars from Hermione that he does not pay back, and then she turns him into a salamander."
Dude, your not only Hilarious, but you are also timely.
I am starting to gasm at the thought of another Flipit/Schoonie liveblog. It's the only thing that can actually make Sunday bearable. (You know since Sunday has that whole Monday stink all over it)

I think Evil Dick's garish '80s outfit in that photo was from the days of him hanging out in the "L.A. scene" when Barbie and The Rockers were big:

Haha Foxbase Alpha! I totally had that set growing up. I even had the instruments so I could set it up as if they were actually playing.
Schoonie you are doing awesome recaps. I'm glad you were able to do Big Brother. And Flipit is hilarious too!
I think that Jen is probably going to nominate Danielle because she is jealous that Nick flirts with her.

Hey Schoonie -
Since my picture is so kindly featured in the middle of your recap do you mind tell me who you're mockingly comparing me to? I'm bracing myself.
(BTW, long time tvgasm reader - keep up the good work)
SenorX27 (aka Eric's older brother)

do we have another Laura Conrad in our midst?? (Eric's older brother)
If so...welcome! And we fully expect the inside scoop on EVERYTHING :)
as for the ep...
1. I was super bummed to see Carol go. She seemed really cool......1 "enemy" down, 2 to go...sigh. What in the world does ANYONE (America included!) see in Amber??
2. Jen puts the "HO" in "HOH". She's definatley going to put Dick up for eviction though, due to his absolute hatred of her....even though everyone else feels the same! As for her second nomination....who knows? Danielle IS an interesing possibility...

Okay, this is awesome. Whatup, Eric's brother?
So, there was a guy also named Josh who was on Season 3, and he looked remarkably like you once he got into the game, with similar facial hair and whatnot. I just thought it was a funny coincidence. Out of curiosity, what do you think of the other houseguests?

Does anyone know what that tattoo on Nick's arm is?

Deena I have been trying to figure that out too. Looks like some huge black blob.
From certain angles (i.e. the diary room cam) it makes it appear as if Nick's missing half his arm.

Hello Eric's Bro - question for you and your family.... do you think being America's Player is going to hinder Eric's chances of making it far in the game?
Deena - I think Nick's tattoo looks like a stained glass window like from a church, but I could absolutely be wrong about that.

All I know about Nick's tattoo is that there is writing. Of what I'm not sure and I don't really care.
OO SenorX27, if you're really his brother, does Eric always drop the F-bomb that much? I swear, when he gets excited, he's just as bad saying it as Jen is saying "Like".
Anyways. it was a decent episode.
I was one of the people that voted for Eric to evict Carol.
Not b/c I like Amber b/c good god is she annoying, but b/c Amber would keep Dick safe.
SPOILER SORTA....
As for Jen winning.. that question was total BS. I think it was Dick that totally called out BB on that one.. Jameka did too saying that they probably had 2 different answers. One for with the opening one for without.
*shrugs*
Whatever though...Jen being HoH is gonna cause drama, something this season needs big time. I hate her with a passion but it's gonna be good.

When they asked that final HOH question, I turned to my husband and said "8 to 10 gallons. I wonder if people are thinking about the volume of the whole cup?" It sucks that Jen won HOH because 1) She will get lots of air time and 2) she will put Dick up.

Ah - I see after the horrible S1 I gave up on BB until the week in S3 when Marcellus didn't use the veto on himself.
I think being AP hasn't changed his intended strategy for the first 14 days in the house too badly - but it is impacting him at points and making him very skittish about making long-term commitments which i worry will hurt him down the road.
As for other HGs - i like/am entertained by Dick, Jameka, Jen and dustin (when he's not with amber) most - then am not bothered at all by kail (political views aside), mike, and jess (when not with dani or joe) - could live without Nick and Zach - don't like amber's desperation - and really don't like dani and joe.
