I could hardly stand the excitement of waiting for the newly Top 13 to perform. This is the stage of the show where the early front-runners could continue to please, underdogs can come out of nowhere, and people that were once at the top of their game start fading away. The judges were oddly introduced on stage, which is something new. The stage was also spiced up, adding extra spark for the current season. They were definitely setting it up to be a great show, until Simon dropped a bomb. Not one, but two contestants would be leaving the show tomorrow! I should have seen that coming, but didn’t. This could be a bad thing. On top of that, the songs were chosen from Michael Jackson’s collection, who is pretty much untouchable. There could be absolute disasters ahead!

Up first was powerhouse Lil Rounds. She chose to sing a favorite of many – “The Way You Make Me Feel”. She wasn’t the best, but she wasn’t bad either. I think she did a great job of opening the show without being nervous. She seems very comfortable on the large stage. She received generally good comments from the judges, which is typical thus far.

Big Brother 10 Fast Forwards With Double Eviction

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.

More Fights & A Crazy Speech On Big Brother 10

It was a rather slow night for Big Brother 10 but that didn’t mean it would be fight-less! Following the nominations the two nominees, Libra and Keesha, filled us in that they already knew they would be up. Dan thought he would go up and was happy to be safe and Jerry dropped a small bomb, saying the only way Dan could justify voting out Jessie is if he was America’s Player. Whoops! That was the case. I bet Jerry will regret all the “Judas” talk when he gets out of the house.

In the Hippy Room Libra and Keesha rallied their troops: Dan and Renny and let them know that everything was ok. Neither of the girls wanted to campaign but agreed that April had to leave. They believe she’s the reason they are being targeted and both promised to get her out if they stayed. In the HoH room Keesha talked a bit with Michelle where she did some Libra bashing. Michelle thought Libra was the one who rallied for Jessie go to but in reality it was Keesha. Following their chat the Power of Veto players were selected. Playing with Michelle, Libra and Keesha would be Memphis, Jerry and April. Not looking too good for the two nominees now is it?

Knowing he was in the PoV Jerry realized he could have some power. He wanted Michelle to put Dan up on the block since he wants him out so badly and Michelle seemed to agree. April, on the other hand, wanted Libra out badly and was happy she didn’t have to be “fake” to them anymore. She’s FINALLY admitting to being fake!

The night before the PoV Dan and Memphis decided to give Renny, Libra and Keesha their own wake up call. They put on masks and busted into their bedroom. At first they screamed but it quickly turned to laughter. Little did they know the PoV wouldn’t be so much fun as it would actually make them cry! What they had to do was chop onions and put them in a box. The person with the most onions, in pounds, would win the Power of Veto. They could also go for a reward if they didn’t want to win the Veto.

When it all came down to it, Memphis and April won the mystery prizes. Memphis chose the first envelope and won a dud: an onion necklace. April, in return, won five designer outfits which would turn up a little later. It was then down to the winner of the PoV and it once again came down to Jerry and Libra. One needed the power to stay while the other needed it to possibly change up the game. After weighing both of their onions, Jerry had about 5 pounds more, giving him his second Power of Veto. Could Jerry be the new Veto King?

Since he actually did win the PoV Jerry wanted to put his plan in motion to put Dan on the block. Michelle wasn’t too thrilled this time around but told Jerry to do what he wanted. Later that night the houseguests were treated to a feast, thanks to the food competition. It started off nice as each player said something nice about or to the group. During the “we love yous” Keesha mentioned how she feels her and April could make up, and jokingly said April should share her designer dresses. Libra then made a comment saying that’s the only reason Keesha was being nice to April, I’ll get back to that a little later.

Libra wasn’t done there as she pulled Ollie to the side. Earlier he called her a scallywag and a ho and she was upset. Ollie told her that he was sorry and Libra pulled a crucial move by telling Ollie that Keesha was the one who got the votes for Jessie to go. Upstairs in the HoH Michelle told Keesha about Libra’s “only for the outfits” statement. Keesha wasn’t too happy about it so Michelle pulled April and Libra into the mix. The four girls, once again, fought it out. Each yelled out the other three at least once and it all ended with Keesha leaving the room. That didn’t sit well with Michelle who followed out the room, only to fight a little bit more.

Although the fight went down the night before between the girls, Jerry was the one with the power. Although he didn’t use the PoV he did create a stir with his “anti-Dan” statements and calling him Judas. Nobody liked the fact that Jerry called it “his house” and used his time to bash someone else and their religion. Thursday night should be a fun one as the two girls still have some time to cry for votes. Who will be the one sent packing and how will the power shift again? See you on Thursday!
