I'm starting a thread on this, It was so unusual for him. It was in the wee hours and not many people were watching, I guess. Zach had just showed off his HOH room, everyone else had left him alone to read his letter. It was long and he was very serious, then cried a little, then at one point toward the end...Expletive! and he begin to raise his arms in a rant, punch the air, the bed, the furniture, pillows, clench his fists cursing, and finally you could see he was trying to regain control, finally did and returned downstairs coolly and didn't mention anything. Very Strange! Does anyone know what caused this??

I saw that too Archiecat and couldn't figure out if he was happy or mad? I thought mad at first and then he did that arm pumping and chest thumping thing???

It seems as though whatever he read in the letter inspired hin to make sure he plays a "good person" game, or this was the speculation in current house happenings. He did not share the letter with anyone. Also, as I mentioned in Q&A. Zach was verrrrry drunk last night. He started drinking right after his post HOH win DR and already had three beers in him before Dick even opened a beer. The received 10 plus he got some in HOH. Daniele did not drink and Jameka drank some wine, which Zach also drank. He even said he was hammered. He was slurring his words. So much of his behavior was exaggerated in that way last night. And he had reason to celebrate!

I think Zach has been keeping a LOT inside. He's had no one to share it with. I think he has disagreed with a lot that has gone on but felt he just had to play along to stay.

maybe it contained some news about his ex-girlfriend that he didn't want to hear? Seems to me he's quite broken hearted about her. 1. After he won his 1st HOH, while in the shower, he said "This one was for you babe". 2. His HOH blog asks his parents to contact her for him (name is Lindsey) to be sure she reads the blog. He then added a section for her... talked about how much the shell she gave him meant to him. He took a photo of the shell with his HOH camera. I'm guessing it's over for her, but not over for him. Maybe letter told him something that let him know she wasn't interested. ???

I think his father said something about playing with integrity and he took that to mean he needed to be one of the good people and disassociate hu\imself from DD

Could be news about his gf or maybe his Dad said something about just standing by when others were being abused.

I interpreted it as he was pumping himself up, like tennis players do after a good (or a bad) point. I'm on the wrong computer but I did some caps and I'll try to post them later.

Archie, I just read this folder first time tonight, I know what you are talking about. Zach wasn't angry at all, he was finally alone, and excited and happy because he had won the HOH. Sort of like the 'hang 5s' etc. He was just taking the moment of privacy to be happy.

i don't get live feeds, but from what i've read...i took his reactions to mean exactly what Sea and Loppes described above. he was so happy with recent wins/new power in house/letter... he was overwhelmed with excitement. he tried to regain control before going downstairs so not to look too emotional and not to rub his excitement any more than he might have already. later, he was able to share more openly, in private w/Jameka.

i think his friend must have died. Remember way way back to the first or second live show when Zach was wearing a Wristband with Someone's name on it?? A good friend was seriously ill and possibly due to die before zach got out of the house. if I recall correctly, zach did wear it for the live show but Julie never asked him about it. I was kinda surprised as I thought it would be good tv...but maybe the friend wasnt alive then. Who knows. Just my theory and I think the last thing zach would want is some fake sorrow from D and D right now. also, Zach smartly may realize that dick might use it as a way to hurt him.

I was watching Zach, too. He was celebrating his victory and seemed thrilled he could now take care of some business that's been bothering him (Donatos). He read the letter a few times and made comments about it. Regarding his ex girlfriend, he was hoping for some word about her since he mentioned her in his first HOH blog; however, the letter from home had been written before his blog was posted and didn't contain the information he sought. So he was disappointed about that. What I gathered from his subsequent conversation with Jameka is that he wants to know if she's watching him.

I know! His letter had a code from his Dad - the word 'honorable' - so that's how he knew to align with Jameka!

I'm thinking I heard somewhere along the way that his grandfather was ill or something. I could be wrong but that sticks out in my mind.

Zach mentioned that someone in his family (Uncle, Grandfather?) was very ill and could very well have died while he was in the house.

Yes Aurora...that's what I heard. From the reaction they described it would make sense he got some bad news. I believe it was his grandfather.

I would doubt that anyone would give him news of a loved one's death or news of a GF not wanting anything to do with him in a letter while in BB house... that info could wait...

I think the death of someone close to a hg would be very important..why would that info be withheld? Zach wouldn't want to share the contents of the letter with D/D because of the way they treat anyone who wants to play their own game instead of helping D/D get to the end. I think he is dealing with whatever it is the only way he can. (better the pillow then dick's face)

He was mad at the Donatos and in a 'combative' mood... "I'll show you!!!" He must have registered that these two want him out and were unhappy he won HOH back to back ... and POV before that. I'm sure the letter he received encouraged him to fight back... with integrity, of course.
