BB8 Week 7 recap - "As happy as you are to be leaving, we're happier to see you go"


Daniele wins her second HoH, and has Jameka and Amber in her sights. Jessica makes the effort to repair her relationship with Jameka, who feels very alone after Dustin's eviction. Jameka and Amber are very confused as to why Eric wanted Dustin out, so they decide to try and get some answers from Dick. He claims Dustin was rubbing people up the wrong way with his arrogance but the girls think a deal had to have been made.

Daniele nominates Jameka and Amber for eviction. However, Amber has a vision that she will win the PoV, and is confident both of them will survive the week. The challenge is to guess the percentage of America's votes on several questions. Amber and Daniele end up as the top two, and Daniele wins.

Daniele makes a deal with Amber that if she takes her off the block, she won't put her up next week. Amber promises her that and a lot more. Daniele uses the veto on Amber and nominates Jen in her place, saying she feels other people are more deserving of staying in the game.

Jen is so mad at Dick and Daniele, she takes it out on them by destroying Dick's cigarettes. Dick holds Jen's clothes hostage and gives her a cigarette burn when she tries to grab a cigarette out of her hand. Jen also eats whilst on slop, earning herself a penalty vote.

By a vote of 6-0, Jen is evicted from the house, and the other houseguests aren't sad to see her go.

BB8 Week 6 recap - "Cigars? Cigarettes? Cocktails?"


Jessica wins the knockout HoH and celebrates with Jameka, Amber, Dustin and Eric. Feeling duped, Dick lashes out at Jameka and criticizes her religion. Jessica is considering putting up Jen and Dick. Dick tells Daniele if both of them go up, he will do all he can to get evicted before her.

Eric's task as America's Player is to get Dustin nominated, which he's unhappy with because Dustin helped him out last week. But then Dustin makes his job easier when he rants about how he would love to go up against Dick just because he knows he would stay. Jessica however has Daniele in her sights and nominates both the Donatos for eviction. Dick puts his self-destructive plan into action and taunts the houseguests with pots and pans.

The PoV is a croquet competition where the amount of shots you get is based on the number of drinks you can drink. Daniele takes the lead with 21 points but Dustin beats her with 32 leaving it all up to Dick. Dick scores a perfect shot with his last shot to win the veto.

Daniele gets annoyed that people are holding her dad's actions against her and decides to let them know how she feels. Jen tells Jessica she thinks Dustin and Dick have a deal, which makes her consider putting him up. Jessica wants to talk it over with Eric but America has instructed him to give Jessica the silent treatment so he ignores her.

Dick uses the veto on Daniele, and Jessica nominates Dustin as a replacement. Dustin is confident of staying, but Jessica is starting to think he's shady. Zach has dinner with Jessica where he promises to vote the way she tells him but pitches to her that Dick would be a good person to keep as a diversion. After getting orders from America, Eric also tries to convince Jessica that Dustin should go.

By a vote of 4-2, Dustin is completely blindsided and leaves the house as the first member of the jury.

BB8 Week 5 recap - "You're a Devil in disguise is what you are"


The houseguests hang on to a pendulum for the HoH challenge. Soon Daniele is the only member of the late night crew left against Jen and Kail. Dick's taunting gets the best of Kail and Jen, and Daniele becomes the new HoH.

Daniele is upset because she feels like someone was trying to set her up by casting the second vote for Kail. The suspicion is on Amber and Eric due to a banner plane that flew overhead during the challenge calling them liars, and Eric is worried that it might ruin his game.

Daniele and Dick are convinced the mystery vote was Eric, as he was the one who most badly wanted Nick out. The pair tell Jessica their suspicions and plot to backdoor Eric if the veto is used. Jessica wans Eric about the plan.

Daniele nominates Kail and Jen. Daniele promised Kail that she wouldn't go home, but both are clueless to the fact that Eric is the real target. Eric tries to secure his safety by talking to Amber, Dustin and Jameka and convincing them to have his back.

The PoV competition involves bidding on punishments, with the lowest bid being eliminated each round. Dustin goes out early, meaning Jameka is the only one left fighting for Eric. She gives up 5 HoHs to stay in the challenge, but Jen ultimately wins by giving up $250,000 in prize money.

Daniele fills Jen in on the plan to get rid of Eric. Dick calls a truce with her, because he feels like their rivalry is hurting their games and benefiting everyone else. After talking with Jen, Jessica is starting to have second thoughts about trusting Eric, but gets back on board when he promises her final two.

When Jen uses the veto on herself, Eric goes up in her place. Dick wants Eric out and knows he has Jen and Zach's vote, and only needs one more. Amber swore to Eric that she would keep him, but then learns Eric told Dick he has dirt on her. Amber had told Eric she lied to her boyfriend about being pregnant and is furious that Eric would break her confidence, but wants to keep her word.

By a vote of 4-3, Kail is evicted from the house.

BB8 Week 4 recap - "I'd do that for a dollar"


The houseguests wonder who cast the second vote for Kail, not knowing it was Eric under orders from America. Evel Dick is convinced that it was Jen, but Amber thinks Nick was the one responsible. Dustin wins the HoH challenge and has four targets in mind: Jen, Kail, Nick and Zach.

Amber is happy that her best friend is HoH, but is starting to get frustrated with Dick following an argument about how much she loves her dog. Jessica and Eric continue to flirt and are getting close.

Kail tells Dustin she's willing to go up as a pawn. Dustin takes this offer, and puts her up alongside Jen. Dustin tells Kail privately that his plan is to backdoor Zach. Amber and Dustin are suspicious of the way Nick is consoling Jen, so think he might be the target.

Jen draws Jameka's ball in the veto competition and she sees it as a sign, so she pledges that she will fight for Jen. Dick doesn't understand Jameka's logic and argues with her about it.

The PoV competition is to interpret paintings based on Big Brother phrases. Daniele gets the first two right, but then gets one wrong and is eliminated. Dustin briefly takes the lead, but spends his points on prizes. Jameka wins the PoV.

The houseguests think that Jen threw the last question because she knew she would take her off the block. But Dustin is also catching heat for his greed in the challenge. Dustin's alliance, the late night crew, debate who to put up between Zach and Nick. Although they all dislike Zach, they think Nick is the bigger threat. This decision doesn't sit well with Daniele though, as Nick is her best friend in the house.

Jameka sticks to her word and uses the veto on Jen. Dustin nominates Nick as a replacement, which surprises a lot of the houseguests. Kail is worried that Zach didn't go up, but Dustin lets her know she's safe. Daniele gets into a fight with Jen, which ends with Dick pouring tea on her head. Eric is ready to see Nick leave, but America tasks him with getting out Kail, which disappoints him.

By a vote of 5-2, a freshly-mohawked Nick is evicted from the house.
