Recap of the daily recaps; and basic facts since


September 18, 2007 - Day 81 - Dick wins 5-2
Feeds off all day, boo; Eric's final AP task was to campaign & vote for Dick; the two Daniele votes were Jameka & Jen
Tuesday's finale placed second for the hour with a 5.5 rating and 9 share, behind the 2nd hour of "The Biggest Loser" with 5.7/9. (Note the first hour of "Biggest Loser" was behind CBS's "Power of 10".)
Dick & Daniele on Early Show - 2nd portion/not on tv


September 17, 2007 - Day 80
Daniele dyes Dick's hair; they get catered dinner, and reminisce about the game for real (not for CBS to make a "best of" show)

September 16, 2007 - Day 79
Dick starts a fire in the convection/microwave oven; they finally talk about the Q&A
Sunday's show came in third with a 6.5 rating/10 share, behind the 59th Annual Emmys on Fox with 8.2/13 and football on NBC with 7.9/13. Note CBS has touted this evening's numbers as a big success but to give this 'spin' some perspective, this was the 2nd lowest rated Emmys show ever.

September 15, 2007 - Day 78
Lots of napping; jury questioned them after Eric got his AP task (and after Showtime) - fallout was a big bust feeds-wise, rats.. sounds like Eric worked the jury towards Dick, it was said or implied that Dick's campaigning against Daniele, and she was attacked for having been "under the radar".. she went to bed angry & upset, leaving Dick back at square one, dad-wise (editorial)

September 14, 2007 - Day 77
Dick & Daniele get along mostly, argue a bit; they get games; Diary makes them dress up to retell past events; Dick, Zach and his samurai sword brain make The Soup



September 13, 2007 - Day 76 - Zach evicted 1-0
Dick won Part 3 of the final comp with Q&A about the jury, and Zach walked the plank; Dick & Daniele had catered sushi dinner and champagne
Thursday's show was first for the hour with a 5.7 rating and 10 share, ahead of "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?" with 4.9/8.

September 12, 2007 - Day 75
They got cards; HOH comp Part 2 sounds like it was underwater puzzle solving/retrieving with the usual hamster pics: Dick won and will go against Zach live on Thursday

September 11, 2007 - Day 74 - Jameka evicted 1-0
Daniele used veto on Dick, who evicted Jameka; part 1 of final HOH comp was holding a key overhead while hopping over a rabbit on a circling board, in rain; Daniele came off at approx 2¾ hours; bunny came off at approx 3½ hours; Dick came off at approx 7 hours, 20 mins: Zach wins part 1 of 3 in an amazing performance by all of them.. big ups to the Final Three!
Tuesday's show tied with "House" for 2nd place for the hour with a 5.4 rating/9 share, just behind "The Biggest Loser" with 5.5/9.

Editors
EditorsLatest show review is in the Forum.
Wow, lots of viewers & feedsters are questioning authority lately. As long as the fights keep going on they'll keep airing them, and people will watch them. That'll probably get translated into 'success' by the accounting department and we can expect yet another installment next year even though most fans realize BB jumped the shark with All-Stars. Maybe Canada will do a real 'Big Brother'? Meanwhile there are all the other countries doing it right and making good tv, and more web shows are starting up all the time.



Dick

$500,000 and Plasma tv
Volatile & confrontational like no other, you loved him or hated him (or switched between). He provided fights & fireworks galore, easily making him star of the season, plus father/daughter blow-ups and make-ups as bonus paydirt for CBS. The Dick at Night Show, hide the bunnies and redecorating were usually a treat for overnighters (loogies aside).



Daniele

$50,000
She whined and cried and laid around with Nick, but once she got in the game she played the hell out of it. Her stuff with Dick was intense and should have stayed private but she was the only one who could shut him up. She was too young for what they dropped her into but they did have some fun. I'm glad she found out she has a dad who cares.



Zach

Much maligned, often shunned, usually absent, and sometimes depressed, he built a strategy structure and an M&Ms calendar. He played BB and chess by himself, he was a good sport and came into his own first in a bunny suit and again in the final comps. He provided his share of fun including a weird food fight with Dick.



Jameka

She went from one of the most liked by fans to one of the least (mostly due to excessive religious zeal and tears that harmonized with Amber's) and back. She was a lot of fun at times but usually seemed like she'd rather be anywhere else. She'll be remembered for "mmm-hmmm" and the holy wars with Dick.



Eric

$40,000 as AMERICA'S PLAYER
He fell hard for Jessica but didn't know what to do about it, and watching him with her showed he could use a puberty re-do. His behind-the-back trashing, extraordinary persuasive and filibuster skills suggest a career in politics. He played hard and well (the game and the buffoon) but mostly gave up way TMI.



Jessica

She was a desperately needed spark of fun in there until Eric sucked the life out of her. She was in good standing with all of them and might have gone all the way til Eric took over her game and she sent out two of her own. For pure hamster fun, she was usually the one to watch.



Amber

$1,000 on 'Power on 10'
Yea, she cried a lot and brought emo to a new level but she also got around game-wise and was a good sport more often than many realize. She said way too much way too often, and CBS punished her mercilessly but she let Eric have it when many thought he had it coming. She'd have done better at summer camp, and I wish her well.



Jen

Underdog deluxe, she put the show in Showtime and stood up to hate campaigns by the others and CBS, death wishes, mustard, catsuit, bunny suit, and iced tea without batting an eye. It would have been good to see her in final HOH BB8 trivia & endurance since she's a machine in both (not to mention angry sex potential with Dick).



Dustin

$5,000 and Barbados trip
King Dustin's HOH blew open the backdoor and he pawned himself right through it. He was never busted for outing his alliance and he stuck with Amber too much but he led abs class, shouted at a closed door, and was an outstanding game show host.



Kail

BB8's professional pawn artist didn't contribute much but she stuck longer and hung 'like a bat' longer than anyone expected. Some thought she was a mastermind but she needed a diagram most of the time.



Nick

He went from designated pretty boy to badass with pink nails but remained ambiguous. He got blamed for just about everything but spent most of his time laying around with Daniele so missed his chance to get in the game.



Mike

He was on Big Brother 8. Barely. His game was like Drew's but without Diane, and without winning anything.



Joe

His & Dustin's part in the 'twist' felt legit and disturbing to eavesdrop on. Joe was chatty and catty, he told stories and entertained, and will be remembered for Amber from Vegas and gonorrhea.



Carol

She & Jessica didn't fulfill the 'twist' as advertised so off she goes. She wasn't prepared for this, she moped a lot and was barely around, but she gave a good show when she had it out with all the cameras watching her.



THANKS FOR VISITING

BB Reloader



This site was never necessarily thorough: it's what I caught and/or what interested me. It also wasn't necessarily about who should win, who will win, who I'd be friends with or who is cute. It was about watching hamsters: which ones are doing what and why, which are fun and which are dull. If they aren't entertaining, get rid of 'em! Thanks for encouraging my behavior.
