The more that I think about it, I think it was a good strategic play by Zach. There is no way that either of the Donatos would have taken Zach to the final over the other anyway or voted for Zach in the final over the other one.

If Jameka loses the POV (which she did) then at least she will feel good about Zach and share that with the jury and that could help him a lot.

If by some miracle Jameka had won the POV and then by a further miracle Jameka and Zach had ended up as the final two, I can't see the Donatos voting for her to win regardless of what Zach did.

The only disadvantage in Zach doing what he did in his speech and nominations is that he upset the Donatos but if he didn't care or even got some satisfaction out of it (which it seems he did) even that is a plus.

I think Zach was just trying to make his point clearly of why he was doing what he was doing. This was probably the least cocky I've seen him. He doesn't want to nominate them, but thinks it's best for him.

Curious statement by Jameka in this episode, essentially to the effect that to her surprise, Zach of all people stood up for her and came to her defense. Had she not bothered to try to cultivate a relationship with him, whereby she wouldn't be surprised that he defended her? Would she not have defended him in the same manner in the same situation? Jameka may have gotten something to think about. Zach's motivations may not have been purely altruistic, but he didn't have to hang his ass out on her behalf the way he did (of course it benefitted him, also, but you know what I mean).

ITA, Jimmer...I don't think Zach is a dumb dumb. I really believe he knew exactly what he was doing and why he was doing it. If either him or Jameka had won, it would have worked out perfectly. Since it didn't, I believe Jameka will go to sequester with good things to say about Zach. If that was, in fact, his intention...it worked b/c Jameka said she was humbled by his speech.

Bo ty. also I don't know, they just showed Gretchen interviewing a very happy looking Dani on House Calls- I guess that is on CBS internet once a week. All I could think is Gretchen interviewed all the HG's before the show started. It said- "Don't miss House Calls " with a scene of Dani laighing and talking to Gretchen. Somebody besides me must have saw this?

Jimmer, I suspect Zach would have kept the speech short and sweet but was told by the DR to make it long. I think he did get some satisfaction out of it; he has disliked Dick's tactics for a long time.

I agree with your assessment of it Jimmer. Neither of the Donatos were going to take him to the end and as we saw when they closed the door on him before the HOH, that had one of them won the HOH the plan was to get rid of Zach. I don't know why it still amazes me that they think it is fine for them to turn on an alliance but they get so bent out of shape when somebody else does it to them. I just wish they would get called out on all of the alliances they had!

As far as Tuesday's show, it is live. The POV meeting won't be held until that show and then the person will be evicted.

Does anybody have any idea what next Sunday's show will be? It's on the schedule still. Will it be a recap show?

Next Sunday's show will probably be jury questions to the final two.

Tresbien..I remember Zach saying on the feeds that the DR told him to make it long.

Gives them more things to show the Donato's making fun of and belittling Zach.

I think Zach said what he said in his speech becuz when they take the tapes to the jury house they see the comps and ceremonies. This way, saying what he said, he might gain some likeability w/the jury.

there's some confusion as to if they're going to show an ep next Sunday, and if they are, what's it going to consist of (Next Sunday is the Emmys as well as a football game, so the ratings aren't going to be good)-some think there won't be an ep, some think it'll be the jury questioning (so they will have time to talk to the HG's, do the vote, reveal the AP, then interview the winner next Tuesday), and my theory, a recap of the season (how did the final 2 get to the final 2)...

I didn't see it, Ambi. I can't figure out why Dani would be on housecalls, either.

Wilson my thinking is too it will be a recap show since it is basically a throwaway show because of the competition. I checked the schedule and it is still listed. I would love for them to actually show the questioning of the houseguests or devote a whole episode to what is happening in the jury house and what the houseguests are thinking now. But I doubt either of those will happen.

Maybe they will have a Saturday show? I heard the finale is only an hour long...the timing is odd, huh?

RE: The housecalls commercial. They showed several short clips of the houseguests in a row, one shot was of Dani laughing and smiling, but they were all shots from inside the BB house, not with Gretchen. They said "Dish the dirt on all the houseguests" (or something like that) as they rolled the little clip. It wasn't anything like they will be interviewing them. We won't see them on housecalls until the show is over.

The problem, as I see it, though, is that Zach just guaranteed loss of D/D votes if for some reason they ended up in the jury. Since he's not in super high regard by the rest of the jury, he's just cost himself the game. Had he not done that, had he and J ended up in F2, he would've had their votes. I think he was antagonistic for no reason and I think it's gonna come back and bite him.

Didn't like Zach's speech about the Danatos dominating and "that's not fair" Waaa, Waaa! Poor baby.

I do understand why nominating them was the best thing to do strategically, and I agree that his speech was meant to gain favor with Jameka and with the jury house, so smart play. I also agree that it did fire up D&D and that was good from my perspective because they won the veto!

You think that because of his speech, D/D would have voted for Jameka instead of Zach, if by some miracle they had been final two? I think they still would have voted for Zach over Jameka.

On Thursday, Julie mentioned Tuesday(live eviction), Thursday(final two), and Tuesday, the 18th one hour live finale. No mention of a Sunday show. It is still on lots of schedules but showing no show info. available unlike all the other episodes this season.
