Eric Scores Galore, Jess Explores Backdoor, and
Amber Wants More God Rapport
Live Feed Summary for Sunday, August 26, 2007
During Saturday's POV competition, HOH Jessica and nominees Amber
and Zach went head-to-head against Jameka, Eric, and Daniele.
Dick had hosting duties. Before the contest, Amber
asked God to give her a boost in the competition.
Amber has taken over Jameka's role as Deity Liaison in the
house. She talks to God on a regular basis now, much in
the same way she talks to everyone else. When she burps in the
middle of a prayer, she asks him to excuse her. When she
cries, she apologizes. And at the end of a really good
heart-to-heart, she will say, "God bless you, God."
That one I'm still trying to figure out. Sure, if anybody
can bless himself, it's God. But I think He would feel guilty
about using up prime blessing time on his own self when he could use
those few seconds to bless a few starving kids in
Africa. In fact, I'm pretty sure of it.
The religion thing seems a bit new to Amber so she doesn't yet
know all the ropes. She's aware that many religions involve a
baptism of some kind, but other than knowing it involves water,
she's not sure how it works - so all she can do is wing it.
Much like Alison did during All-Stars.
If the makeshift baptism doesn't work for Amber, at
least balancing a bottle on her head is good posture training for
"America's Next Top Model."
At the end of the competition, Eric was declared
the winner of the POV.
He was elated until BB cautioned him against using the medal
as a body piercing ornament.
Just when you think how cool it would be to dangle your bling
somewhere other than around your neck, BB goes and ruins it.
After the win, Eric discussed the use of the Veto with
Jessica. She wants him to use it to take Zach off the block so
she can nominate Daniele. He wants to keep the nominations the
same.
At bedtime when the two of them were alone in the HOH room, Eric
moved in for a kiss.
And for the second time this season, actress extraordinaire and
caricature subject Sally Field was on hand to confirm the
connection.
This morning, Jessica is still unsure of Eric's decision not to
use the Veto. "I think you want to be standing next to Dick or
Daniele in the end, and not me," she accuses. She might be
right, but I think the real reason Eric doesn't want to be
responsible for putting Daniele on the block is because he's
afraid of being the next victim of:
You know what a deadly weapon it can become when it falls
into the wrong hands.
Jess trusts Eric, but just in case he's playing her, she wants to
have a plan of action in order to exact revenge. What better
way to get him back than to steal all the bugeye gigs away from him
that she can? So when she gets a moment alone in the HOH room,
she begins to perfect her own style of pupil popouts.
Little does she know that Eric is hiding behind the white chair
again, waiting with a hairdryer in hopes the Marilyn Monroe dress
makes another appearance. He watches Jess, awestruck by her
new optic abilities. Realizing that her eyeball enlargement
could...uh... blindside his career, he decides he needs to up
his eyepopping game to include a pop-open mouth:
Totally smart move in my opinion. Just think of all the
work he could steal from fish.
Hoppy trails,
Thank you to TVClubhouse for the BB photos.
*Speaking of popups, this site remains free of them thanks to

Amber's Game Washed Out: Chances All Wet As Strategy Dries
Up
Live Feed Summary for Tuesday, August 28, 2007
Only two things of any significance happened in the house
yesterday. The first was Eric's decision not to use his
acquired POV to save anyone from execution this Thursday. He
left the nominations the same in spite of the fact that Jessica
wanted Daniele to go home.
The second occurrence of merit - and the most important of the
two - is that Her Majesty the Bunny finally received the
homage she deserved from the HGs.
Not that I would ever be caught dead in that outfit.
After Eric snuffed out Amber's chances of coming off the block,
she spent most of the day sulking. America's Next Top
Mope. Her depression got so bad that BB brought in a member of
the Blue Man Group to try and cheer her up.
In the meantime, those who were expecting a fairy tale ending in
the love story of Eric and Jessica may be surprised to find out
that, yes, the kiss turned Eric from a frog to a prince - but when a
perfectly normal princess swaps spit with a man/toad mutant, any
resulting offspring is, oddly, enough, marsupial.
I think it has something to do with the fact that both toads and
kangaroos hop, but I couldn't be sure. Anyway, what's cuter
than Jessi-Kanga and her little Roo?
Unless it's our own resident Eeyore.
Today Jess is a bit gloomy herself about her decision to nominate
Amber. She tells Eric that she made a mistake. He tries
to make her feel better about leaving both Dick and Daniele in the
game, but nothing he says convinces her that she made the right
move.
"By not getting rid of Daniele this week, I probably cost myself
the game," she says. "All I can do now is try to keep
Amber here and reform my old alliance. If you and I get to the
Final Four with Dick and Daniele, I will be the first one eliminated
after that. None of you wants to go to the end with me."
Eric replies that if he goes to the end with Amber, Jameka, and
Jessica, he will be the first one eliminated out of that
group. He says from his point of view, Amber needs to leave -
"and I plan on casting a vote to evict her."
The two continue to squabble throughout the day, but at bedtime
they agree to disagree. It's better that they work things
out. You know, now that they have Roo and all.
Which reminds me: the baby had his first official BB photo
made today.
Just kidding. He actually looks more like his mother.
While the new parents work things out, Dick and Daniele are
having issues of their own. Once again, they are arguing over
the silliest things.
Dani is pouting over her father's disappointment that she joined
the Crips....
.....while Dick sadly ponders what life will be like without her
in the Bloods.
The two of them hash over the pros and cons of keeping Amber this
week vs. saving Zach. Both of the nominees have promised
allegiance to Dick and Daniele in exchange for safety.
Dick, Daniele, Jessica, and Eric formed a pact over the weekend
to take each other to the end.....
......but cracks are starting to show.
If Zach stays and wins HOH this week, he wants to put Eric
on the block. If Amber stays, she says she will nominate Eric
as well. Jameka is still unable to play HOH. I'm
beginning to picture BB's first $500,000 Father/Daughter
Picnic. Who's bringing the tea?
Hoppy trails,
How often do you read the Bunny? Take the survey on the
home page and let me know. I'm mulling over whether or not I
should scale down to posting a summary once a week.

Amber Liquidated
Live Feed Summary for Thursday, August 30, 2007
What's "liquidated?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Zach Attack!
Live Feed Summary for Friday, August 31, 2007
Amber was eliminated from the game during last night's Live
Show. It was just as well - she was beginning to mildew.
Zach became the new HOH, waving his fist in the air in a "Revenge
of the Nerd" moment after besting Eric, Daniele, and
Dick. He started stripping his clothing in celebration,
as Zach is wont to do. Fortunately, he was stopped from going
Full Monty as soon we saw the whites of his thighs.
Disappointed? Okay, okay, we'll pretend we were treated to
another glorious Run of the Dolphin. Here you go:
Zach spent most of Thursday night and all of today discussing his
various nomination ideas with the rest of the HGs. When it
came time to make a decision, he went after two of the girls.
Zach: Jessica, you've never been on the block.
Jessica: I KNOW-uh!
Zach: So that's one reason I'm going to nominate
you. The other is that you left blue eyeshadow all over the
HOH pillow this week and now I have to sleep on it. That
blows.
Jessica: Sorry, Zach.
Zach: And, Jameka, I'm nominating you as well.
Jameka: Hmmm-hmmmm.
Zach: I saw you kneeling by the HOH bed this
week. You were praying and crying up a storm. And
now, as if Jessica's Maybelline mystery isn't enough,
you've left snot all over the coverlet. How's an
HOH supposed to sleep?
Daniele: I don't blame him. It's really
frustrating.
Dick: Yeah. You girls are a bunch of f---ing
____!
Jameka: I'm sorry, Zach. But at least Amber
isn't here. She'd make you feel like you lost your mind
and wet your bed, know what I'm sayin?
Hoppy trails,

Trail Blazer Janelle Passes Torch to Daniele
Live Feed Summary for Saturday, September 1, 2007
During Thursday's HOH competition, BB bartered with the HGs a
bit. The object of the competition was to use a tiny cup to
transport liquid from a vat to a large fishbowl until the bowl was
filled to the top.
BB offered extra cups in exchange for hot showers, and the HGs
took the bait.
Another goodie was dangled in front of the players: a phone
call to the first person who took time away from filling his or her
fishbowl to fill a small vial instead. Eric bit the hook on
this one, gallantly awarding the call to Jessica.
Jessica was later surprised with a phone call from her brother
Dean, who just returned to the U.S. from a tour of duty in
Iraq. Did anyone get a good look at bro Dino? Let's
just say I'm ready to enlist. Sir, yes, sir.
The POV competition was held Friday night at midnight, featuring
a guest appearance from the former Miss Superworld Superbike &
All-Victorious Veto Vanquisher: BB All-Star Janelle. Here she
is waving from her Superworld parade float clothed in her finest
pageant wear:
That's right. And I hand-stamped every one of those
suckers.
The HGs were delighted to have Janelle act as Guest Host, but no
one was more thrilled than I was. You all know how worried
I've been about her. Ever since she lost the
game last season, she's been unable to hold her head high.
Blame it on the Boogie, or maybe that shower with Dr. Will,
but whatever it was, she serves as a reminder to all of us that when
one becomes a contestant on BB, one is truly
putting one's neck on the line.
At least Janelle isn't the only one who has been unable to
hold her head up.
But I think that had less to do with being on BB and more to do
with just being Howie in general.
The competition was the annual Morpho-matic. You remember
it, don't you? It's where all the HGs' facial features are
thrown into a grab bag, shaken up, and pulled back out again to see
what new faces have been formed. So you might get a face with
Dick's eyes and Jessica's mouth, or a head with Nick's bad
'hawk haircut and Amber's Guiness-Book-of-World-Records tear
ducts.
Daniele won the prize when she was shown this photo and
accurately guessed that it was a cross between Eric and Yertle the
Turtle.
She got bonus points for recognizing the all-time most
popular Morpho-matic creation: the Bunny crossed with a
few hefty shots of Cuervo Gold.
Daniele was extra thrilled to have the POV medal placed around
her neck by the Veto Queen of Season Six. Janelle was
happy to see another buxom blonde in line for the POV crown, a
trinket she brought to the house with her.
She knew it was safe now that you-know-who has vacated the
premises.
Today, Daniele mulls over her newfound Veto Power. She
wonders if she should use it to replace one of the nominees with
Eric and then send him home. Dick thinks it's best to use this
opportunity to eliminate Jessica from the game. "Eric isn't
the threat in the end that Jessica is," he says.
The two of them discuss their ideas with Zach. "I think
Daniele should leave the nominations the same, but we're better off
sending Jessica home this week because Jameka is easier to beat in
competitions." Zach replies that he is uneasy leaving Jameka
in the game, but he can see the logic in getting rid of Jessica.
Later this evening, Eric tells the others that he might be
interested in posing for "Playgirl." Okaaaaay.
Get a seat on the train beside the roomie heading for
"America's Next Top Model." First stop:
Cluesville.
Just kidding. I think it's great that Eric has
dreams. Amber, too. They all should. Look at
Dick. Now there's a guy who never gives up. He's going
to get that popeye thing come hell or high water.
And I'll continue to give him encouragement. After all, I'm
living proof that practice makes perfect.
The HGs haven't been on slop for a couple of weeks, and with all
the snack food at their disposal, a few of them have started to fill
out a bit. Jameka's jowls are a little rounder......
Zach's belly has seen flatter days.......
Even the devil woman tattooed on Dick's back has become a
plus-sized Beelzebub.
The only reason Dick himself has remained slim and trim is
because of his commitment to daily exercises in water ballet.
The others have resorted to desperate measures to keep
their hands away from their faces. Zach wrapped his fork-fist
in a white sock and showed it to Jameka, who had never been around
white socks before.
Jessica, taking no chances on the possibility that she could be
ambidextrous, glued both her hands to her head.
And Eric, always one to go the extra mile, chopped off his arm
completely.
Trust me, their efforts are already beginning to pay off.
In another week, don't be surprised if Daniele becomes the fat
one.
Hoppy trails,
Thank you TVClubhouse for the BB photos.
