Big Brother 10 has been a strange season but nothing as strange as the latest. After Renny was evicted and the Head of Household played, a sumo wrestler entered the house with really no clue as to why he’s there. Following the Power of Veto ceremony where Renny went on the block against Keesha, things were rather odd in the house. Renny wasn’t as upset as you would think but more upset that she was up against her friend Keesha. Keesha felt the same, being up against Renny, as they’ve become very close in the house and lifelong friends.
The three guys had thoughts about the events as well. Jerry once again felt alone in the house since Memphis turned on him while the Renegades were ecstatic. Both Dan and Memphis secured their alliance would be until the final two and it made them obvious as well. Jerry took the ball and ran with it by talking to Keesha and telling her that Memphis has a final two with everyone. With the idea in Keesha’s head she got a bit paranoid and it was time for Jerry to try Dan. By telling Dan that he is now on par with everyone else, Jerry gave Dan the same deal he gave Keesha. Going to the final three as Memphis is aligned with everyone but Dan doesn’t buy it. Alone in the storage room, Keesha and Dan let each other in on what Jerry was doing. Memphis joined them and it made the two guys realize that Keesha may sway on them if they aren’t careful. It also showed that Dan and Memphis weren’t as close to the finals as they thought.
Following the paranoia from Jerry it was all about the girls. Renny and Keesha have been friends since the start of the game and have formed one of the closest bonds in Big Brother history. With one of them sure to go it was sad to see the two in their last days. They expressed their joy of finding a friend in the game and I think both will remain close for years following this season. Outside the house it was time for the interview from home, Memphis took his turn this time around. The interview was with his girlfriend who said why she loved him so much and how Memphis isn’t a womanizer. We had a few clips of Memphis telling why he went off on Jerry so long ago and it was interesting to see how people see him outside the game.
With four jury members now in the house it was finally time to see what they have been up to. Mostly nothing has really changed. Libra was alone for an entire week and called the eviction order every time. When April walked in Libra was happy as she was the one she wanted to see out but April wasn’t upset. She feels being a jury member is more important and took the time to bash Keesha EVERY chance she got. After saying how badly she wanted to see Keesha walk through the door so she could sleep in the yard, Michelle walked in and the Keesha bashing continued. As they watched the endurance competition, April and Michelle commented on Keesha’s supposed weight gain. They were very petty and when April gets out of the house she will surely learn that America thinks of her what she thinks of Keesha. With Ollie in the door April jumped for joy, claiming she was happy to see him so they could be together. The jury segment was mostly focused on April’s opinions of the remaining players and a sad opinion at that.
When it came time to vote it seemed like Renny knew she was going. She took a solid five minutes to “plead her case” but rather took it as a time to give a Dan style speech. Not only did she tell the housegeusts a story of how to play the remainder of the game, Renny also mentioned having grief none of them knew about. Sadly we will never know what she was talking about as both Dan and Memphis voted Renny out over Keesha. Outside Julie only got to ask Renny one question due to time but Renny ran with it. She enjoyed interacting with the crowd and is the only player to do so, so far. It was nice to see Renny at her finest, it’s just sad that we will no longer be seeing it in the game.
With Renny gone it was all about the Head of Household competition. Earlier today the players got to view several photos of past competitions. All the questions came from these photos in a form of true or false statements. In the end it was down to Dan and Memphis with Dan winning by a point. By getting the last correct Dan claimed his second HoH win and guaranteed a spot in the final three. Since the Power of Veto means everything in the final four, Dan’s HoH really doesn’t mean much other then immunity. Something that does mean much though is the luxury competition now underway. As the houseguests walked into the living room after the HoH, they saw a sumo wrestler sitting on a small stool. As the wrestler uttered words in Japanese, Julie filled us in that a luxury competition was now underway that could put a twist on the remainder of the game. How will the luxury competition play out? For spoilers head on over to BigBrotherLoop.com for the inside scoop on the sumo and the luxury competition!
With only one elimination left until the finale of Greatest American Dog it was time to for the dogs to show their loving side. With two challenges that showed the dogs loyalty to their master, the show put a new spin on man’s best friend. On last weeks episode we learned that Galaxy’s leg was potentially injured and it put fear in JD that he would have to leave the competition. The next morning, Galaxy’s leg seemed magically healed but JD took him to the vet just to make sure. There he learned that Galaxy was as fit as a two year old, making the matter disappear and the competition continue.
For the Dog Bone challenge the four pairs had to compete in an endurance type challenge. Each were stationed on a stump facing each other. The last pair to get down from the stump would win the Dog Bone suite and a leg up in the next Showdown challenge. Since Andrew is so used to sleeping, Andrew’s lay down took Laurie out of the challenge. She knew he couldn’t stand up that long and was happy he lasted the time that he did. Next to go down were JD and Galaxy. Galaxy also laid down which isn’t surprising considering her injured leg. That left Travis/Presley and Teresa/Leroy. Since they were the final two, and Travis didn’t think Presley could last long, a deal was brought to the table. Travis wanted to give Teresa the win and in return they would share her leg up. Teresa wouldn’t take the deal though and seeing that Presley wasn’t enjoying the challenge, Travis called Presley down. In return Teresa took home her second Dog Bone win, giving her the leg up and a quick video chat with her boyfriend.
During their break between the Dog Bone challenge and the Showdown, the dogs and masters took some time to swim. Andrew didn’t seem to take well to the pool as he paddled even when dry while the other dogs seemed to love it. Presley and Travis swam together while JD let Galaxy wade while he sunbathed. Teresa had a different approach and that was letting Leroy do as he wished in the pool. At one point he seemed to be wild and JD felt it was bad training as Teresa didn’t reprimand him. She did give her reasons though and that was Leroy’s inability to herd. Rather he splashes the pool and “herds” the wave that is created from the splash. It makes sense, but I highly doubt that’s what he’s doing.
After the fun was done it was back to the game with the start of the Showdown challenge. Thanks to her leg up, Teresa was able to see what the challenge was before anyone else. She learned that the dogs would have to sit in half circle and not move from it. They would also be called and enticed by the three other players so it was important to get your dog to stay with you. Teresa used her advantage to train Leroy in the middle of the night. She tried to get him to stay as she threw toys and other things and it seemed to go well. The next day everyone was given the chance to bond with the other dogs. Teresa played it smart and tried to get the dogs to go for the toys when she yelled stay. Laurie’s game play was just having fun with the dogs. She wants to have a mix of play and love with them, to create a bond that would pull them away from their owners. Travis didn’t know what he was doing and just kind of hung out with the dogs while JD took his normal approach. He mimicked the owner’s voice and tried to get the dogs to play. The only one he had trouble with was Andrew, who actually ran away from him. It took him awhile to find Andrew, who ran outside to Laurie. The dog just couldn’t live without his mom and did anything to get to her.
When it came time for the Showdown everyone was filled in on how the challenge worked. Laurie and Andrew were up first and Andrew didn’t budge one bit. He actually yawned as the others tried to lure him away from Laurie. The judges loved Laurie’s technique as she wasn’t in a controlling position but rather calmly talking to Andrew. The others had some problems though and it actually put the judges in a three way stalemate for awhile. JD and Galaxy did well during the challenge as Galaxy hardly budged. The judges felt JD’s stance with Galaxy was harsh and almost robotic. He snapped back at them AFTER he knew he was safe, which may be ruled in next week. That left it down to Teresa and Travis. Although Presley ran completely out of the ring, the judges felt he performed loyalty over Leroy’s feared stay. That’s why Teresa and Leroy were chosen to leave, making the final three for the finale. Either JD/Galaxy, Laurie/Andrew or Travis/Presley will win Greatest American Dog and the $250,000. Who will it be? Tune in next week to find out!
While we wait for the finale, leave a comment and let us know who you think should win Greatest American Dog!
Many knew it was coming and that it did, the Big Brother morph-o-matic returned once again toting six babies this time around. Only one could be called “cute” but otherwise the 13 houseguests of Big Brother 10 make some ugly kids! Following the nominations by Jerry of Keesha and Dan, things were looking up for both Memphis and Renny. With a final two with everyone BUT Renny, Memphis felt he was a shoe in for winning the game and I think he may still feel that way. Dan and Keesha also weren’t too worried about going home as they knew the Power of Veto played a pivotal role in how the round would be played out. Winning the PoV was the only sure bet on being safe and also could be the deciding factor of who went home.
Up in the HoH Dan took some time to talk to Jerry who realized the four were only being friendly since he was in power. Dan made sure Jerry knew he wasn’t upset for going on the block and both reiterated that the Power of Veto could and most likely would change the playing field. Renny seemed out of the loop that the PoV was so important this week so Jerry took the time to fill her in. Once she learned that she would be auto nominated if Memphis won the PoV, Renny became visibly upset and went straight to Keesha. Renny then went on and on about how she knows that she is the target and will probably be going this week. Keesha consoled her to her face, but in the Diary Room she let us know that Renny worrying was a bit annoying. Renny wasn’t even on the block, yet, so Keesha felt there was no point in complaining.
Following a quick break Big Brother actually showed Jerry’s now famous fall into the pool! I really didn’t think they would show it but since he didn’t get hurt I guess it’s fun to laugh at his expense. I mean he could have got electrocuted thanks to his mic pack, now that would have been great TV! Later that night Memphis took the time to secure his final two pack with Jerry, Keesha and then Dan. He told all three that he would go to the final two with them but said he still doesn’t know who he would take. Memphis isn’t playing a great visible game but if none of the three catch on, he could be sitting “very pretty” in the finals.
With the numbers dwindling BB had to show some past footage, making it look like it was recent. They pulled out the very funny moment of Dan copying Renny’s every move; followed by Renny strangling Renny. It was put into context this week though as Dan is using the annoyance tactic to get Renny off of her game. The annoyance culminated in the Hippie Room where the four were chatting. When the idea that Renny was worried about being nominated came up, Dan jumped on the opportunity. He egged it on that she probably would go on the block which set Renny off. As she exited the room she spanked Dan, followed by Dan saying “physical violence”. Renny stormed out of the room saying he deserved it and that she doesn’t care about a penalty nomination. Luckily Big Brother didn’t reprimand!
Later that night it was time for the Power of Veto competition, the famous morph-o-matic! This time around the players were morphed together into babies. Each of the five players had to guess who the father and mother were of the “baby”. Their faces were morphed together and placed on a babies body where the quickest to get all six correct would win the Power of Veto. When it came to time Renny did the worst. She didn’t realize a bald baby would have Jerry as the father and after trying every guy she finally got it correct. With 23 minutes and 32 seconds, Renny came in dead last and she sure wasn’t happy with herself about that. Jerry was up next with 8 minutes and 1 second. He didn’t have many problems either then the first kid who was an ugly April and Dan.
With only three left it was up to either Dan, Keesha or Memphis to win the Power of Veto. Since she walked SO slow during the competition, Keesha came in third with 5 minutes and 16 seconds. Although both Dan and Memphis did well and actually RAN (unlike Keesha) their times were rather close and only differed by 8 seconds. But only one could win and with 2 minutes and 50 seconds, Memphis took home the Power of Veto and put himself in an awkward position. He had a final two with both nominees and a deal with Jerry to not use the veto.
The day following the Power of Veto, Dan and Memphis talked about what should go down. Their Renegade alliance hanged in the balance and Memphis made Dan swear he would vote Renny out in order to use the Power of Veto. Memphis had two things he had to do though and that was make sure Keesha and Jerry were ok with it. Keesha didn’t seem too upset since Memphis kept saying they would be in the finals. Jerry was the one who had some problems with it as he wanted Dan out badly, but Memphis obviously won’t take Jerry so I doubt his opinion mattered.
Later that day it was time for the Power of Veto ceremony. Both Keesha and Renny both realized that Memphis would probably use the Power of Veto and nothing could be done to change that. In the living room Memphis did just that and saved Dan from the chopping block. This forced Jerry to put Renny on the block, since she was the only one eligible to go. That leaves the votes to both Memphis and Dan with Jerry breaking a tie if they vote opposite. It should be an interesting night come Thursday as either Keesha or Renny will be evicted. With only one “real” HoH left it’s a crucial one so all three will be fighting to win it. Plus tune in Thursday for a look in the jury house, who knows what type of drama has been going on there!
What a crazy night in the Big Brother house! Following the first eviction an entire round of Big Brother was played and one more houseguests was bounced from the game. Let’s start where last ended though and that was the Power of Veto ceremony. Immediately following the ceremony, everyone gathered outside to “discuss” Dan’s deal breaking move. Ollie and Michelle were both very heated and once Dan being a plant was brought up, Dan bolted. He didn’t want to be there while the bomb exploded and it was probably a smart move. We saw Ollie’s words with both Keesha and Memphis as he tried to put the idea of Dan being a plant into their heads. As Ollie left the backyard to go “talk” with Dan, we heard something not said on the feeds but I’m sure CBS made that move on purpose as it wasn’t something they could really show and get away with.
Up in the HoH Ollie continued his Dan bashing but this time to his face. He told Dan how he embarrassed him in front of millions, six million to be exact. Nothing really exciting came from the talk though has Ollie left rather early. As the four in power (Dan, Memphis, Keesha and Renny) gathered in the HoH we watched as they watched Ollie destroy the house. After throwing a lollipop against the wall, breaking a lamp outside and smashing the weight lifting bar to the ground, Ollie was called into the Diary Room but we really never found out what took place. He was probably revolting against Big Brother for Dan being a “plant” but I’m sure he’ll find out tonight that isn’t true. Following that little clip of Ollie trashing the house we saw one last ditch effort of Michelle trying to stay. She went up to Dan to discuss his move to put her up and it didn’t go so well. Dan told her it was Ollie’s fault for banking on her life in the game and that left us with one final rant from Michelle in the Diary Room. Too bad we won’t get those anymore as they were enteratining.
When the show returned to its LIVE status Julie revealed to the house that it was going to be a double eviction. She coined it “Big Brother Fast Forward” and everyone was kind of freaking out. Keesha took it the worst as she could hardly cast her vote while Ollie seemed excited for it. Since it was fast forward we got right into the voting for either Jerry or Michelle. After the four voters casted who they wanted to be evicted, Michelle was the first to walk out of the house with a vote of 3 to 1. She talked to Julie briefly and Julie revealed to her that Dan was a plant. I’m surprised that Big Brother did this as he kind of is a “plant” in a sense when it comes to his week of America’s Player. Michelle had some good moments during the interview and the crowd seemed to love her, laughing many times.
With Michelle gone it was immediately time for the next HoH. It was based on the voting America did on the Newspaper headlines. Seven headlines were given and the houseguests had to say which person America chose out of a possible two. It was a tight race and very intense with Keesha and Jerry tieing with four votes correct each. This put them in a tie breaker, not once but twice. In the end Keesha won the fast forward HoH and had to immediately put two people up on the block. It was an obvious choice as Ollie and Jerry became the next two nominated.
After a LONG commercial break the Power of Veto competition was played out live. What the houseguests had to do was run down a long run, jumping over haystacks. After doing that they had to dig through hay, searching for two Power of Veto disks. The first person to find both would win the Power of Veto and after a quick few minutes Dan won his second Power of Veto, keeping the power from the other side. In the live PoV ceremony Dan chose to NOT use the Power of Veto, forcing either Ollie or Jerry out of the game.
The second vote was up next and in a vote of 3 to 0, Ollie walked out of the house. He quickly bolted out of the house in the “fastest exit ever” and talked to Julie for a bit. He told her that April will be in his life for a long time and also he isn’t as mad at Dan as he seemed. It all came down to retribution from turning on Brian which really never came up until Ollie was evicted. After all that Julie revealed that the finale would be on Tuesday September 16th. Should be an interesting one but until then we still have five players left and many more days to go in the season of Big Brother 10.
Today CBS released the 18 men and women that will be competing in Survivor Gabon. The seventeenth season will head back to Africa to showcase “Earth’s Last Eden”. Although no twists have been revealed, the cast has and that’s good enough for now! Get to know the cast now since the premiere on September 25th is quickly approaching! It will be the first time Survivor airs a 2 hour premiere and is sure to pack a punch! Here we go, make sure to leave a comment when you’re done reading and discuss the cast with others!
Ace / 27 / Naples, Florida / Jewelry Sales
Ace is the first Londoner on the show and one of the few of the non-American born this season. He says that he’s arrogant and his bio says he’s a “flirter” so could he be a male Parvati? He’s live in several places before so he may be a good worker at camp and he’ll probably be good at competitions. I have a feeling he’ll go far but after annoying some people he’ll get the boot.
Bob / 58 / Portland, Main / Physics Teacher
Bob is the oldest guy of the season and will surely be the “dad” for some I’m sure. He’s a teacher so he knows how to interact with the young crowd, which he’ll be doing a lot of in Gabon. His bio claims that he’s worked in several different professions and always enjoys a journey. His vast background and age may allow him to slide through for a few rounds as he becomes friends with all the “kids”.
Charlie / 29 / New York, NY / Lawyer
Charlie is almost an exact replica of China’s winner, Brian. The two love the show of Survivor, they both know how to play and both are gay. It’s really interesting to see that they casted someone so similar to Todd but if he wins then we will know why they casted him. He says that his strategy is to make people think he’s weak and to make big moves. He knows a lot about the game and I think that will take him very far and possibly the win.
Corinne / 29 / LA, California / Pharmaceutical Sales
Corinne is a self proclaimed bitch and only does her job for the money. I have a feeling she could become the new Jerri Manthey since she is only there for the money and always gets her way. She should be fun to watch and if she knows how to sell herself she could get far. The longer she stays the more entertaining I think she’ll become as fighting it always a good way to become “famous” in the world of Survivor.
Crystal / 29 / Durham, North Carolina / Olympic Athlete
Crystal is one of those that is casted mostly because of her profession. She probably has no clue what the show is all about since she was found, rather then casted. But her speed, strength and height will surely give her an edge when it comes to challenges. If she lets everyone know she’s an Olympic winner that could hurt her in the long run but since most “casted” people leave early I see the same for Crystal.
Dan / 32 / Boston, MA / Lawyer
Dan is the second lawyer on the show this season and I have a feeling he and Brian will either hate each other or get along rather well. He doesn’t really stand out as a big player but more of a threat in competitions. His bio focuses on his sports accomplishments, most being in high school. Although it does say he had a realization that his family means more to him then ever. If he can stay somewhat hidden he may do well, but I doubt he can if he’s dominating in challenges.
Danny / 26 / Portland, Oregon / Maintenance Man
Danny reminds me a lot of Ozzy. His bio says that he loves the outdoors, swimming and fishing. Although that may be the case his video interview makes Danny seem rather “boring” I have a feeling he could slip under the radar. He’s had a rough life so Survivor may not be the hardest thing he’s ever done. He also wants to be helpful everyone yet stay hidden, which will be a good idea if he does turn out to be Ozzy 2.0.
Gillian /61 / Temecula, CA / Retired Nurse
I really like this lady! Not only is she familiar with Africa (she was born there) she’s also a retired nurse and over the hill! She’s the female Jerry in my eyes with a touch of Cirie. She loves the show and has applied for 15 seasons. Gillian will probably be the fan favorite this season as she’s funny and knows what she’s doing out there. She knows she can take on the “boobs and butts” of the show and become the oldest winner yet!
Jacque / 25 / Santa Barbara, CA / Medical Sales
Jacque seems to be the tomboy of the season as she loves the outdoors and competing in sports and other adventures. She says she can overcome any extreme conditions and Survivor will surely put that to the test. Other then that I don’t get much from Jacque other then she’ll be some nice eye candy for the show. Since she knows how to work amongst men and older people, I think she will do well as long as she doesn’t get on the girls bad side.
Jessica / 29 / Brooklyn, NY / Pin-Up Model
Jessica aka Sugar, is one of those that probably has no clue what she’s doing out in Africa. She looks like Courtney from China but I have a feeling her personality is very different. Jeff Probst as said she’s very emotional, naive and plays the game with her heart. If she is like that she may be an early boot but then again she could go far if she joins the right crowd. I don’t see her making any big moves but rather gives us some good confessionals and break downs.
Kelly / 22 / Buffalo Grove, Illinois / Retail Sales
I have a feeling that Kelly will do good in this game. She looks great, seems smart and knows how to be a leader. If she can do all that and join up in a good group she will go far. Although she doesn’t look like it, Kelly says that she is very adventurous which probably will surprise many. I don’t think she knows much about the game but like I said, she’ll need a good group to take her far but can do well.
Ken / 22 / Westminister, CA / Pro Gamer
For once Survivor has casted the nerd! I have a feeling he’ll be well liked by everyone on and off the show. Ken is someone who you would expect to sit back and let things happen but his mind will always be playing out the game. He knows how to win and is addicted to the show. If he can use his strategy of winning Smash Bros. to the game of Survivor he’ll surely do well and impress a few people along the way.
Marcus / 28 / Atlanta, Georgia / Doctor
Marcus is the one from the commercials and I think a lot of people knew he was going to be on the show. Although he is a doctor I don’t see him being the next Dr. Will. I think he’ll be there for a few rounds then get the boot once he reveals that he’s a doctor. He’s a threat, already has many and I think many people will take that into consideration when they vote at Tribal Council.
Matty / 29 / Pacific Palisades, CA / Personal Trainer
Matty seems to be someone who is there just for fun and nothing more. I don’t think he’ll be too much into the game and may actually get into a few fights. He seems to be someone that won’t really want to help out at camp or do too much otherwise as he’s a bit of a slacker. Maybe the show will teach him a few things but otherwise I think he’ll be gone early since he doesn’t seem to want to be there.
Michelle / 24 / LA, California / Music Producer
I think Michelle will be good on the show. Both for entertainment and also in the game itself. She’s very easy to watch, at least on their interview video, and seems to have her mind made up of how to play the game. I really see her going far in the game with a great attitude and some hardcore game play. I really think Michelle is someone to watch out for.
Paloma / 24 / Downey, CA / Student
Paloma is someone that will be very unseen in the first part of the show, similar to Natalie last season. She doesn’t seem to have a mean bone in her body, her parents were missionaries after all. Her bio states that she’s a social butterfly and that will either help or hurt her in the game. If she can control it and be friends with the right people she could do well, but being friends with everyone is never a good idea in Survivor.
Randy / 49 / Eagle Rock, Missouri / Wedding Videographer
Randy is a bit strange it seems as he tries to crack jokes in his interview video that just aren’t funny to anyone else but himself. I don’t see him being that annoying on the show but I have a feeling if the people are dealing with it everyday it may get on some nerves. Who knows he may be the new Jonathan Penner but I doubt that.
Susie / 47 / Charles City, Iowa / Hairdresser
Susie is someone I think will add a lot of life to the show. She’s doing it to finally do something for herself and I think that’s reason enough to like her. I think she can become the camp mom for her tribe and will hopefully not be targeted for being in the “older” group. Maybe she’ll even become the next Sandra and surprise us all with a fiery mouth! Hopefully that’s the case but we can’t know for sure until September 25th!
When was the last time you actually saw a dog flying on prime time television? Well tonight that very event happened as three of the five remaining pooches on Greatest American Dog took flight. Following Beth Joy’s elimination last week, the remaining five took some time to reflect on her time in the house. Everyone agreed she was a bit loopy but also said they would miss that from her. Laurie also made an interesting comment, saying how she believe everything she said. It was fun having Beth Joy and Bella Starlet around, the show just wasn’t the same without the two.
Before the Dog Bone challenge began Laurie reminded us that her Andrew was the last small dog in the competition. She also realized that could be held against him, since most of the challenges are situated for larger dogs it seems. Travis was also having a realization of his own and that’s how much Presley has grown since starting the show. He looked up to Bill, who was teaching him how to be a trainer. I do see the transformation in Presley though as he was learning everything from scratch during the competition. The two have grown in terms of skill since the beginning and I think they have Bill to thank for a lot of that.
Out in the backyard it was time for the Dog Bone challenge. Out came a huge 9,000 African elephant to surprise all of the owners and especially the dogs. I think all five of them barked and reacted to the enormous animal entering the yard and it didn’t look good for the challenge. What the dogs had to do was sit in a circle while the elephant walked towards them, sounded it’s trunk and then reached for a banana. The dog that didn’t move while the elephant was coming towards them would win the Dog Bone challenge and leg up in the next elimination.
Bill and Star were up first I believe and although Star sat for awhile, the elephant was too intimidating and scared her off. Laurie was up next and was eager to win. She didn’t even have to coach Andrew to sit while the elephant was coming and she moved on to the tie breaker. Teresa’s Leroy was jumpy during the entrance of the elephant and that didn’t end here as Leroy was out during the elephants noise. Galaxy surprisingly got out of the challenge as well, even though JD once again pumped her up saying Galaxy has been around more strange animals then any other dog there. Travis and Presley were up last and Travis used his skills that he learned at the house to coach Presley into staying in the circle the entire time.
This put a tie breaker challenge between Laurie/Andrew and Travis/Presley. The first dog to lift it’s butt off the ground would be out as the elephant charged at the two. Both did very well and lasted long, but Presley lifted up right as the elephant got to the two dogs. That gave Laurie and Andrew their first Dog Bone win and put them into the Dog Bone suite! It was nice to see Laurie get a taste of home as she was the only one yet to win. It’s obvious that she is close to her family and also very close to Andrew. There were MANY pictures of the two hanging in the suite along with a letter from home which Laurie read in private.
Thanks to the Dog Bone challenge win, Laurie also got a leg up in the Showcase challenge. What the dogs had to do were several stunts. The first was climbing a steep incline followed by running across a balance beam suspended high in the air. The last stunt had the dogs gliding down the zip line into their owners arms. During the challenge all the dogs did well with only two not being able to glide down the zip line. JD and Galaxy were chosen as Best in Show as they easily finished the course and JD’s coaching was praised by the judges. Sadly Galaxy was hurt it seems during the challenge and it may hinder their performance next week and possibly remove them from the game. The only other team to be safe this week were Teresa and Leroy. Although Leroy wouldn’t stop barking and stopped rather long before jumping with the zip line, his trust in Teresa impressed the judges and saved them for one more week.
Since the show is at its final five it is going to be sad to see anyone leave from here on out. All the dogs are amazing as well as their owners. In the bottom three this week were Travis and Presley. Although Presley quickly finished the course, he wasn’t being controlled well by Travis. The judges didn’t like that Travis hyped Presley up so much then tried to make him stop and weight. Laurie and Andrew were also in the bottom three simply because Andrew didn’t jump from into the zip line. Although Laurie had the leg up, the zip line really wasn’t tested during any of the practice runs and that’s why they were up for elimination. Sadly it was Bill and Star who were chosen to be expelled this week. Since Bill gave Star the easy route on the course and she didn’t jump into the zip line, the judges felt they had the worst performance. Like I said getting down to so few numbers, it will be hard to see any of them go and this time it was the hardest of them all! Bill and Star did amazing on the show and hopefully there is a reunion so we can see the duo shine once again!
