The final days of Big Brother 8 are (sadly) winding down.
I find the combination of the final 3 contestants to be somewhat surprising: Daniele, Dick, and Zach.

Don't get me wrong! Dick and Daniele are definitely 2 of the strongest players in the house, but why did no one take true initiative and get them out sooner? Perhaps the dynamic of their relationship (always arguing, bickering, and struggling to get along and understand each other) camouflaged their blood bond. Without a doubt, I would have targeted them from day 1.

I believe that Eric was the other strongest player in the house, but that he was somewhat side-tracked by completing America's tasks as well as pursuing a love interest in Jessica. Without those distractions, I am almost certain that Eric would be here in the final 3.

Unfortunately, doofus Zach is the 3rd member. I mean, I guess he has done SOMETHING right because he's sailed through the game and gotten to this point, but I just don't see myself routing for him to make it any further in the game. Let me remind you, this is a guy who prides himself on the fact that he thinks he looks ULTRA sexy in a pink bunny costume!

The houseguests are currently battling it out for their last chance at Head of Household in an endurance challenge involving holding a key over their head while jumping over a spinning rabbit! Enthralling, I know! The latest blogs say that Daniele fell out, so it's a fight between Dick, the chain smoker and Zach, the physically fit muscle bunny guy.

Either way, Dick is going to make it to the Finals. If Dick wins HOH, he will obviously vote to evict Zach. If Zach wins HOH, there is no way he would leave himself up to compete in the Finals with Daniele, who has won 2 HOH's and has tied the all-time Big Brother record for winning the most POV's! Thus, he must evict her if he wins the HOH competition. Essentially, Dick is fighting to keep his daughter in this competition only for her to ultimately beat him in the finals. This guy is crazy!! If he gave up now, Zach could evict Daniele, and Dick could actually have a shot of beating Zach in the finals. It's going to be interesting! Oh, the things people do for money!

Go place your bet on who you think will win Big Brother 8!
Right now, Bodog has Daniele listed as most likely to win at 2/3.
Next likely is Zach at 2/1 and
Finally, Dick is at 3/1.

This has been quite the eventful week at the Big Brother house! Daniele and Amber won a trip to New York to play CBS's new "Power of 10" game. Eric and Jessica bonded over Eric's "Woobie" (which is a stuffed animal, for all of those whose mind is in the gutter!). Zach continues to take up mindless space, Jameka struggles with the anxiety of being nominated, and after numerous fights with Dick, Jen loses control!

To catch you all up to speed, Dick and Jen have been at odds since day 1! They fight, argue, torment, scream, pour iced-tea on, and make each other miserable! Things came to a head yesterday when Jen decided to act out against one of her many peeves of Evel: his cigarettes. She proceeded to douse several packs of them in bleach. And, according to the Big Brother house rules, players are only allowed to "hide" belongings of others, not "destroy."

At this point, Big Brother stepped in and gave Jen a penalty nomination, which means she will automatically be one of the house guests nominated next week and will not be allowed to participate in the HOH or POV competition. This penalty came about when Jen decided to take herself off of Slop and eat normal food (which she had committed herself to edure in order to win POV a couple weeks ago) in addition to being a destroyer. The problem with this is that now Jameka becomes the target of the house guests for eviction this week. With Jen almost guaranteed out next week from her penalty nomination, why not get rid of Jameka for "free" this week to narrow down the playing field even more?

So, Big Brother realized that this plan unfairly harms Jameka, and I believe their next move may be to actually remove Jameka from being nominated forcing everyone to only be able to vote Jen out. And, fans are outraged at this! Is Big Brother fixing the game? Should Jen be punished? Is it fair for her to remain in the house another week given that she is not following the house's rules? Should she be allowed to cast a vote as a member of the jury for one of the final 2 contestants when she's proven to be unruly? Can she swim 1 mile in the pool and "wash" away her wrongdoing? Oh, Big Brother!

My prediction is that Jen is going home this week!
Right now, Eric actually has the best odds to win at 4/1 at Bodog!
Next in descending order are:
Daniele with odds 2/9 at Bodog
Jessica with odds 5/1 at Bodog
Jameka with odds 6/1 at Bodog
Dick with odds at 7/1 at Bodog
Amber with odds 8/1 at Bodog
Zach with odds 9/1 at Bodog
Jen with odds 10/1 at Bodog

I hope Dick, Daniele, Eric, and Jessica make it to the final 4!
