My Name is Terri and I'm a Big Brother 8 Junkie *spoilers* ________________________________________________________________

I'm exhausted! Yesterday I took Emily to the ear doctor again. Her infection is gone, but it still itches so he put some steroid cream way down deep in her ear and hopefully that will take care of this for good. So we're bopping around town and I'm *yawning* my buns off. I never yawn. No matter how tired I am, I'm just not typically a yawner. But theses were jaw cracking, lip curling yawns, baby. I decided to stop at the store on the way home and pick up some essentials. I kept going down the wrong aisles. Thank goodness I had Emily to be my little guide daughter and tell me where the bread was.

Michael brought home pizza. Bless him! I was ready to go to bed right then. But nooooo. I had to see what recorded on the DVR. It was Big Brother night.

Now, I've never really been one to watch reality TV. I've tried a few shows and moved on, feeling dirty and ashamed afterwards. But Miss Prissy, whom I love and adore, loves Big Brother. I want to be one of the cool kids too, so I figured I'd check it out and see what it's like just so I could say I tried. Well, I got a little bit hooked. I could wait a day or two to watch it in the beginning but I realized a few weeks ago that I was really looking forward to Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday nights because BB8 was on. And I was really sad we didn't have Showtime so I could watch it even more! I was tempted to pay for the live feeds on CBS, but somehow held my resolve. And Michael would have mocked me. I couldn't have that.

Last night, I hit an all time low. We watched BB8 (Michael is hooked now too to a lesser extent, and will sometimes stop researching for his show to sit and watch with me, but shhh, don't tell anyone) last night and it left off with the HOH (Head of Household for those like me who didn't have a clue) still in progress. Oh, I hate that!

So I got online to see what happened. With the time difference, it had to be over, right? Oh, so wrong. I got on the CBS message boards to find out what was happening. Some of the lovely people there have live feeds and were letting the rest of us pathetic people know what was going on. I sat there until past 1AM hitting the refresh button hoping for news. Not only subjecting my poor sheltered mind from some sick puppies on the boards, but having to come to the sad conclusion that I am a BB8 junkie. I even watched some live feed video on youtube.com, and giggled like a school girl when I saw Danielle fall. I know. I felt a little bad about that for all of 30 seconds. Karma works both ways, if you believe in that kind of thing.

I finally made myself go to bed, feeling somewhat guilty that Zach and Dick were still up on their carrot being rained on holding that key for dear life. Yes. I felt guilty. I told you I was pathetic.

This morning, the kids woke me up early. But I didn't mind because I had to see who won HOH! Thank you, Jesus. It was Zach! There is a God and the proof was on BB8. How scared are you that I'm kind of serious about that and didn't mean it in a blasphemous way at all?

Now since I'm a BB newbie, what is the jury house thing all about? I assume the evicted house guests have the final vote for who wins the money. Do the D*nato's really think that with their nasty strategy that anyone is going to vote in their favor? I guess they were just so certain they would both end up the final two that it wouldn't matter.

I used to think Zach was a bit arrogant and I didn't care for him very much. I actually used to feel bad for Dick that he was estranged from his daughter and I hoped they could re-establish a healthy relationship. The closer those two became, the more they seemed to just bring out the worst in each other. As time has gone on, and Zach's been able to show his real character, I really hope he wins. I think he's a stand up guy.

You've lost all respect for me now, haven't you? Well, it's almost over and I will shame myself no further. Until BB9 at least!
