Big Brother 8 *Spoiler* Thread

OMG, I guess I know now why Zach didn't talk in the first month of the show. That talk he trapped Jess into having in the HOH room last night, put me to sleep in record time. He is sooooooo boring and just inept at looking sincere. He'd flown totally under my radar, but he gives Amber a run for the money in most annoying contest.

I think Amber's problem is brain-fry from meth use and poor self esteem. If she honestly felt she was "all that", she wouldn't need to announce her (imaginary) assets and seek constant reassurance from others.

I just watched it myself on Utube. I can NOT believe how he drags things on and on and doesn't realize he is annoying people! Yikees!

I think Eric just won veto.

Jokers was saying it was a close call between Eric and Dani winning. But Eric got it.

I don't think that Amber has Aspergers. One of the main "symptoms" of Aspergers is a lack of empathy. Amber empathizes with absolutely everybody! She has cried and cried over other houseguest's problems. I know that not all symptoms apply to every Aspergers patient, but I just don't think that's her problem.

Because Eric has that STRONG influence over her and he want all the boys who are a threat to his love life gone!

exactly! From what I've read Jen mentioned Eric's girlfriend right before she left Thursday and that's the reason for Eric going off on her. Since then Eric has been doing everything he can to make sure that Jessica isn't mad at him for not telling her. Last night alone they talked about it for a solid 2 hours. He gave her the whole story and explained that they broke up a month before BB. Eric's main goal right now is to keep Jessica happy and all to himself. He wants Zach out of there.

Meanwhile Dick and Danielle want Amber out this week.

I realize why Eric would want Zach off. I was just hoping that Jessica might have enough sense to look out for herself instead of being influenced by the beatty-eyed twerp that has been so inaccurately labeled "America's Choice". He's no choice of mine!

So - is this the first Veto that Eric has won? He can now do whatever AC is - either take off Amber or Zach, or leave the noms. 'bout time he won something!

 

[Debbie6221]

I actually forgot he has to do what the votes (America) say...(or BB )

This is the first veto comp he played in. I guess we will find out tomorrow night whether America gets a choice.

I agree (and invoking Jameka) and say: "Mmmmmmhhhhhhmmmmmmm. Mmmmhhhhhmmmmm. Mmmmmhhhhmmmm.

Eric does have Veto. I also wonder how BB will play that. I don't think they'll show him winning the comp and the POV meeting until Tuesday evening. I think since he has orders to get someone nominated, if that person hadn't been nominated then he would be pressured to use the POV to take someone off.

ITA with this. I don't think she has Aspergers either. One of my co-workers has a son with Aspergers, and they work very, very hard with him trying to get him to care about and show an interest in other people. Amber is over-the-top empathizing with everyone, and she wouldn't be "playing for her family" if she had Aspergers. I too think her brain has just been fried by drugs, and I also think that she's probably a victim of her environment. Her family doesn't sound all that stable.

Anyway ... I will be glad that Eric won POV **IF** America can influence whether or not he uses it. I'm just trying to figure out the logistics of that. "America" won't "find out" that Eric has won the POV until Tuesday, when they also air the POV meeting. How could that work? It's not like he'll win the POV, America will vote, and then he'll use it or not. It's all one episode.

OMG! Is that a beautiful baby or what?!!!

Dani and Nick did have a "showmance" going while he was at the house. From the little bit Dani has said it seemed her and her BF were not doing too well. They have been 2gether 2 years and live 2gether. But when she choose to do the show he moved back home with his mom. So I don't think things were too good with them. He was on a episode and said he loved her, but they haven't mentioned him since. I think whe it was her Bday and there was nothing from him it was a sign! I also think BB really wants Nick and Dani to be an item. Especially flying him to NY to see her on the game show! They plan on taking a month and a half off and traveling to Europe 2gether. They have said they made a connection. The other night she "wrote" out "153" with m&m's. That was her and Nick's way of saying that they really like eachother!

Thanks, desnik! She gets cuter and cuter by the day.

Hmm, well all that makes more sense now. I mean I love a good romance, but didn't want BB to be pushing her and her BF apart. I guess we'll see how it all turns out...

That's true!! We won't get to vote on that because it happens on Monday and they air that episode on Tuesday! That is probably why he won it. I think he hasn't won HOH is because he is throwing it so American won't get to choose 1 nomination.

 

[TiggerPiglet]

I wonder since Eric won the POV if they'll somehow do the nominations first thing and then show the POV so America can vote on who he should take off. Eric will probably freak out if they end up doing that. It obvious he's been throwing the HoH's, which, frankly I don't blame him.

That is the thing it something that is just beginning to be diagnosed & in woman it is hard to. She shows so many symptoms.

DH says we all knew Asperger people growing up we just thought they did not have a clue now there is a name for it.

My BIL married a woman with it & we did not figure it out until the school diagnosed it in the children then the rest of us figured that is what is wrong with SIL.

Ambers flat facial expression all the time is a give away. The way everyone has to expalin words to her. The endless talk of modeling.

Typically people with Asperger's have high verbal skills and are very smart. Amber is neither of those things... (or at least she doesn't show it).

I thought Amber was a recovered Meth addict...that would explain the loss of brain cells...Meth does a number on you.

So - nuthin' happening on the live feeds? Anyone in the Eastern Time Zone watching the late night stuff?

Gee -without Jen there - who will Dick pick on?

I really see it coming down to D,D, Eric and Jessica in the final 4. Since they have the strongest alliances b/w themselves, I think they will be able to pull it off. I would like to see Jameka win as well, I wanted her to win from the beginning, though lately she has been kinda annoying but I still think she has played the game very well. Her or Jessica, either one I'd like to see win.

As far as the Asberger's talk, I don't agree. I have a degree in Psychology and I'm not an expert by far, but I've done alot of research on it and have had quite a bit of experience with that in particular, mostly in children, but I don't see Amber having it. And you can't determine something like that just from watching someone in this type of situation, in this amount of time anyway. Honestly, I just think she's dumb, added in with her admitted drug abuse which has prob killed some (alot!) of brain cells.

What are some of your favorite idiotic Amber quotes?


My personal favorite is "God bless you, God!"

Mine is when she said she did drugs to work hard

 

[rabx5]

The house is too boring now
The big news- Eric finally kissed Jessica. I can hardly contain my excitement about that
