Big Brother 8 Elimination Voting Day is Today

Last night on the live feeds was just intense. There was so much maneuvering going on, you just didn't know which way to turn. Sure, there was the typical last minute make sure I've got a majority of the votes run by Carol, and the less typical Amber getting smashed on the side of the face by an errant tether ball, but far more interesting was the interplay between the other Houseguests, and there was plenty of it. SO much so that as of right now, it's safe to say that the real Big Brother 8 has officially started, and it's gonna be a hell of a season.

These are people who really know the game. People like Dustin and Zach made it very clear last night, as they kinda came out to each other (not *that* way) as serious students of the game. There they were, on the teacup, in a very intense, slowly spinning, 90 minute conversation about the current nominations and beyond. I just couldn't take my eyes off of them, and it was 3am. Talk about a well chosen set piece. Monster kudos to the Set Designer. I felt like I was watching a Hitchcock film. Just brilliant.

Who's voting for who, what are the alliances, and what's the future beyond tomorrow's elimination. Zach and Dustin even color coded all the HGs, so as not to audibly refer to anyone by name. lol. The conversation really made me wonder if Zach may be dumping his hastily made Mrs. Robinson alliance for something stronger with Dustin, or, conversely, was Dustin just played like a fiddle by a master of the game? I'm hoping for the former, but fearing the latter. Either way, game on!
