Are the "original eight" going to stick with their alliance? What has the inside scoop been saying?

I'm monitoring the feeds as we speak and it looks as if Alison and Jun will indeed be voting to evict Michelle. David, Jack, and Nathan have been lobbying for them to do so, but the girls have been a bit "on the fence".

If Michelle does manage to get evicted on Tuesday, it will be a major shock to Jee, Justin, and Robert, and will probably cause major tension in the house. I, for one, can't wait. :-)

I'm hoping it's Michelle that gets the boot... I just find her so annoying. I can see Erika winning, so it would probably be wiser for them to vote her out.

It has been a GREAT weekend.

Spoilers work for me!

Happy Wednesday all.

As we saw last night, David was able to secure the Power of Veto by utilizing his "Duckball" skills. As I was watching last night's episode I couldn't help but think how proud Roddy Mancuso of Big Brother 3 fame must be now that his brainchild was turned into an actual Big Brother competition.

David ended up declining to use POV, so the nominations for tonight's live eviction remain Erika and Michelle.

Now, I don't want to spoil anything for those of you without the live internet feeds, but I will say this: If there is any live show this season you DO NOT want to miss, it is tonights. I'll leave it at that. Enjoy the show!

[jmc813]

Hey Palp, I was able to catch most of Beg Borrow and Deal last night. Extremely cool show. I'm still a bit confused about the rules, though. For the tasks they perform, is there a certain amount of money they receive or do they have to complete a certain amount to be able to move on to the next state? They seemed a bit vague about this.

I also like Erika better than Michelle, BUT I want to see the "Elite Eight" alliance broken as soon as possible!

I can't stand that the EX's are going to be voted off just because they are "EX's".

I have mixed feelings on this. I agree with your sentiment that there is an unfair advantage in favor of the Original 8, BUT, at this point, Jack, Erica, and David are by far my three favorite houseguests. The better the original alliance does, the better the chances for my players.

That was the plan, but after this past week I want them gone because they turned into the Jee stooges. The three of them asserted they were doing the will of the house and they forced Dave not to use the veto.

We will see the will of the house tonight although it will be a shame to lose the eye candy this early in the game.

[jmc813]

If I recall correctly you have the live feeds, right? I plan on being up VERY late this evening watching them. I can't recall being this excited for a live show in a long time.

[dangermouse]

Yeah, I have the feeds. There may be more than chairs being thrown tonight.

I'm confused -- do you know from the feeds why people switched and decided to boot Michelle? Which two stuck with the original plan -- was it Robert and Amanda?

It seemed as if the remaining Original 8 alliance members were intent on keeping the alliance strong with an exception of Dana. As a result, most felt that Jee should have nominated Dana rather than Erika, who has given nobody cause to fear she is straying from the alliance.

When Jee refused to nominate Dana, and threatened to put Jack up if the veto were used, the alliance members did the only thing they could at that point, and booted Michelle.

From a personal observation, I believe Jee did a HORRIBLE job as Head of Household, and allowed Justin and espekcially Robert to dictate his decisions.

[ellery]

Ooookay, I've got it -- thanks! I think he did a terrible job, too...he was arrogant, stubborn and inflexible. Meanwhile, I'm not sure why anyone was surprised that Michelle got the boot -- isn't it a Big Brother truism that anyone who is put up as a "decoy" ends up getting voted off? It happens every time -- I'm not sure why!

Is it very annoying of me to ask how everyone's getting along in the wake of the Michelle switcheroo? I don't want you to have to waste time recapping the live feeds, when you'd rather be WATCHING them! :-)

[jmc813]

No! Just the oppisite in fact. That's the type of discussion I'd like to see more of on this thread.

[ellery]

Oh, good! Then I would love to hear everyone's thoughts on how Jee, Robert and Allison are dealing with the booting of Michelle. Who are the remaining exes? Do they know yet about the group of eight strategy? If so, who can they pick off to turn the tables? Certainly Dana -- but anyone else?

[jmc813]

Nominations were announced a few hours ago. White text spoilers below...

Dana abandoned the Original 8 alliance and nominated Jack and Alison.

[jmc813]

Oh, good! Then I would love to hear everyone's thoughts on how Jee, Robert and Allison are dealing with the booting of Michelle.

Alison has remained with the Original 8 alliance. Justin (Alison's ex) is alligned with Jee and Robert. Those three tok last night's events surprisingly well. I was loking forward to tuning into the live feeds after the show and seing a war, but things have been surprisingly peaceful.

Who are the remaining exes?

Jee, Robert, and Justin are the only remaining exes.

Do they know yet about the group of eight strategy?Nobody has actually admitted it, but those three ain't no dummies. I'm sure they have figured it out for themselves.

If so, who can they pick off to turn the tables? Certainly Dana -- but anyone else?

See my spoiler post above. Apparently, it was a good decision for them not to put up Dana last week.
