Daniele Nominates Kail and Jen For Eviction

After a grueling endurance competition, Daniele became the new Head of Household, on BIG BROTHER 8, Sunday, Aug. 5 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

All of the Houseguests except for Dustin, who as the current Head of Household was not eligible to compete, vied to become the Head of Household for the coming week. Daniele emerged victorious after host Julie Chen instructed Houseguests to each hang from the pendulum of a clock - upside-down - until they could no longer hold on. Kail and Daniele were the finalists in the competition and Kail gave in when Daniele promised her that she would not go home. Following the Head of Household competition, Daniele nominated Kail Harbick and Jen Johnson for eviction during the nomination ceremony.

Nick Starcevic, a backdoor nominee for eviction, was evicted last night from the BIG BROTHER 8 House in a vote of 6-2 (Head of Household and the two eviction nominees do not vote).

This past Tuesday, Jameka won the Power of Veto and took Jen, who was nominated for eviction for the second time, off of the chopping block. Kail was left up for eviction and Head of Household Dustin Erikstrup then chose Nick Starcevic to join her.

During last night's LIVE broadcast, the 25-year-old former pro football player from Kimball, Minn., learned his fate and left the House. After leaving BIG BROTHER 8, Nick was interviewed by Julie Chen about his experience.

The search for the next great American Inventor concluded last night when the audience's votes were tallied and Greg Chavez was awarded the million-dollar grand prize -- moving him one step closer to his dream of mass producing his product, Guardian Angel -- on ABC's "American Inventor."

NBC announced today the 18 contestants competing on the fourth season of the popular weight loss series "The Biggest Loser," which premieres Tuesday, Sept. 11 (8-10 p.m. ET/PT). For the first time ever, the show will feature twin brothers Bill and Jim Germanakos from Long Island, New York, as well as Hurricane Katrina survivor Lezlye Donahue, and the oldest contestant in Biggest Loser history, 62-year-old Jerry Lisenby from Peoria, Illinois.
