Big Brother 8 - Episode 7.15.07

Food competition (Name that Pie): Blue team and red team. Winner: Blue Team. This was funny because there were some really awful combinations (bacon and banana, pickle and clam and some other lovely combinations ... NOT!)

Next assignment for Eric: America wants him to try to get Jessica nominated. He tried to talk to Jen about it but she just looked stupid.

Hmmm ... Ms. Jensa Member says she's not stupid. Really, could've fooled me!

Nominations: Dick and Daniele. The POV competition should be interesting.

Big Brother 8 - First Evicted Houseguest

Danielle won the power of veto and decided not to use it to take either of the nominees off the chopping block.

Eric "performed" his first task - tell a sob story to Kail. Eric made up some ridiculous story but he definitely gets credit for completing the assignment.

Jen and her Jenism t-shirts are currently the most annoying thing in the house.

First houseguest evicted: Carol (10 to 1). Between the two nominees, I probably would have voted for Carol too.

Head of Household Competition (Majority Rules): Jen

Big Brother 8 - Episode 7.8.07

Big Brother 8 - I shouldn't watch it but I just can't help myself. I LOVE reality t.v.!!!!

It seems as if the 14 new BIG BROTHER 8 HouseGuests have followed the white rabbit down the hole and emerged into Alice's Wonderland. From gigantic furniture to hobbit-sized beds this unsuspecting troupe enters into a world of twists and turns, secrets and lies and unexpected encounters as six of them are brought face-to-face with people from their past that they'd hoped were gone for good. Why endure a summer of sycophantic schmoozing, blatant brown-nosing, back-biting, back-stabbing and bitching? For the half-million dollar prize-money and bragging rights, after all; to be the last HouseGuest standing is to be a member of an exclusive survival club.

Julie revealed the first twist to the HouseGuests. For some, she warns, this will be a summer of "sleeping with your enemy." For these people, three HouseGuests may help, or hinder, the HouseGuests' game play, but it is up to them to decide what the effect will be. Turn out it these three are an ex-BFF, an ex-boyfriend and an estranged father and daughter.

While the HouseGuests are getting to know each other, Julie lets us in on another twist: "America's Player," in which one HouseGuest will play the game for America. She then reveals that that player is Eric. In every episode this summer, America will be able to give him instructions and tasks he has to complete via text message or online at CBS.com. Eric will get $10,000 for every five tasks he completes.
