Banner Overtakes Big Brother
This week on Big Brother 8 some (extreme) fans were successful in something that has been tried and failed many times by other fans. For those who don't know, Big Brother airs live on Thursdays and the point of the show is too completely isolate the houseguests from the outside world (although they do communicate with producers of the show regularly without seeing them, chat with host Julie Chen once a week, and houseguest Eric gets instructions from fans since he is America's Player). For numerous years now, fans have been spending a decent amount of money to hire a plan to hang a message banner from it's tail and fly over the house while the houseguests are outside. It's quite a bit excessive in my opinion to waste money on such a pointless thing....but, hey, it's entertaining! Usually Big Brother producers spot the planes coming or are alerted before hand and they rush the houseguests into the house into lockdown where they won't be able to see the plane's message. Last Thursday...the mission was finally accomplished.
Thursday night some eager fans planned very well. During live shows on Thursdays, the houseguests usually have to compete in the backyard to become the Head of Household. This Thursday was no different. However, instead of a quick competition, the HoH event was an endurance challenge that can leave houseguests in the backyard for hours. Therefore, producers were unable to stop an in-progress competition when the houseguests are outside to lock them inside when a banner plane flew through. The plane flew through right in the middle of the competiton and ALL the houseguests read the message which read..."WE HEART NICK. AMBER AND ERIC ARE LIARS LNC = THE NERD HERD."
Now for a breakdown, Nick was the houseguest who was just voted out of the house and was closely aligned with Danielle (the 20 year old femme fatale of the Big Brother and my personal favorite). Amber and Eric were not on any one's bad side and were part of the house's bigger alliance. Amber is the cry baby of the house who did lie to Nick when she said she had no idea he would be nominated for eviction (Amber was the one who initiated the plan). Eric is America's Player and, in my opinion, is highly annoying and a bit arrogant. He does have his funny moments. Since he does what America instructs, he had voted against his alliance for two weeks straight and lied to everyone about putting blame on Nick. Now he's in the hot seat and is finally being called out (by America itself). Who knows? Maybe the majority of us want Eric out of the house and are making him vote against himself purposely so he can become targeted. If that's the case...it's working. After Danielle won Head of Household she indicated her plan is to get him out via the backdoor (though she nominated Kail and Jen for old times sake and just in case Eric had a chance to win the Veto and save himself). Also, why couldn't America have voted who would become America's Player? I doubt Eric would have become our player had that been the case. I personally would have voted for Danielle or Dustin or even Nick. Ah well. Finally, LNC = The Nerd Herd. LNC means Late Night Crew. The LNC is the bigger alliance of Dick, Danielle, Dustin, Amber, Eric, Jessica, and Jameka. The Nerd Herd was a term from season 6 referring to the alliance of Beau, Maggie, Ivette, Jen, and April who AMERICA HATED and they thought they wore holier than thou (as Mitt Romney would say). The Nerd Herd was ridiculous and the LNC cannot be compared to them in my opinion.
The banner has really stirred things up in the house. Is it really fair that the houseguests saw the banner? No. But what's fair in the Big Brother 8? Sometimes houseguests have to eat slop (oatmeal type grool) for a week. It wasn't fair but it is a new dynamic that the game must deal with and I'm happy it got air time on CBS. Eric is now a target. The LNC is about to be broken up. And I couldn't be more excited. This season has not disappointed for a second! Thank goodness this outrageous show is on three times a week! I wish it were every day!
See...I can talk about other things besides my love for Hillary Clinton lol.
Big Brother 8 airs on CBS on Sundays, Tuesdays, and live on Thursdays. Check your local listings! It's never too late to join the madness!

Nothing to watch? Watch Big Brother 8!
Big Brother is an extremely ridiculous show where people are locked in a house together all summer backstabbing their way to $500,000. Each week a houseguest finds him or herself evicted from the game until we have a winner. While, as mentioned, extremely ridiculous it is also EXTREMELY ENTERTAINING! Also, unlike other shows, Big Brother is on THREE TIMES A WEEK! As if that's not enough you can also watch the Big Brother live talk show on CBS.com Mondays-Fridays at 1 PM est, watch the houseguests live and uncensored on Showtime 2 every night from midnight to 3 AM, and, finally, subscribe to the live feeds and watch the houseguests 24/7 as if they were hamsters in a cage!
This season, the eighth, the twist is some houseguests are playing the game with their "worst enemy." We have Carol (now evicted) and Jessica, who were former best friends and had a falling out over FIVE DOLLARS, Dustin and Joe, bitter ex-boyfriends, and Dick and Daniele, estranged father and daughter. Can you imagine being 20 years old and locked in a house with your parent for a summer? It would be absolutely dreadful! No thanks, I'll pass.
Anyways, tonight's episode was hilarious as usual. We had the head of household, the person who holds power for the week and chooses which two houseguests will be up for possible eviction, Jen try to threaten other houseguests before the Veto competition, a game where houseguests can win the opportunity to save themselves from eviction. It sounds confusing...but it's all pretty simple. Now Jen, the HoH, is quite the space cadet. I'll be surprised the day I see her complete a full sentence with words that actually make sense. During the Veto competition, Jen lost and now has to wear a red unitard (think Britney Spears in the Oops video) for a whole week. Aside from looking absolutely ridiculous wearing an outfit that doesn't leave much to the imagination...Jen, of course, loves that she has to look like an idiot for the week. Now you tell me what other show on TV lets viewers watch a person wear a red unitard for a week? There isn't one. Also, on past seasons the houseguests who lost the food competition for the week would be forced to eat nothing else but peanut butter and jelly. However, these past two seasons, producers have scrapped the peanut butter and jelly and losers are instead forced to eat Big Brother Slop, which is a disgusting flavorless oatmeal type of dish. Big Brother is brilliant!
Who else do we have in our cast of characters? Amber...the girl who cries at the drop of a dime. I really can't take her anymore. If I have to see her cry one more time in the confessionals then I will....do absolutely nothing because I refuse to stop watching Big Brother. Who else? Joe...the stereotypical queen with ginormous (yes, ginormous has officially been added to the dictionary) nipples and Kail...typical Bible-belt mother. Love em or hate em, everyone adds to the show and makes it entertaining as hell.
My point is....there isn't much to watch in the Summer months. Heroes and Ugly Betty are on hiatus and America's Next Top Model hasn't started it's next cycle yet so...watch Big Brother!
On this episode, Daniele managed to win the veto and take herself off of evil Jen's nomination. Now, evil space cadet Jen has nominated vanilla wafer nipples Joe in her place. The houseguests will now vote who to evict...vanilla wafer nipples Joe or Daniele's dad Dick. I think Joe is out of here! I hope so at least. However, both he and Dick provide some good laughs so it may be sad to see either go. I don't think Daniele will vote her dad off and neither will her showmance (a phrase coined in past seasons to signify a romance taking place on the show) Nick. We'll just have to see.
Tune in Thursday to Big Brother 8 at 8 PM est time on CBS for a live episode with our favorite host, Julie Chen (aka the Chen-bot in Big Brother online circles), to see who will be evicted.
