In the beginning of the game it seemed like Dan would be a very weak player but he surely was just portraying that. After tonight it shows that Dan is one of the strongest players in the game but still playing in a behind the scenes way. Following the nomination ceremony Memphis immediately went to talk to Dan. Although the two are aligned, Memphis was not happy that Dan put him up on the block and after Memphis learned the third part of the deal things got even more intense.

Later Dan talked to both Keesha and Renny, asking them if he made a mistake. Keesha was on the negative, saying it probably won’t work out like he wanted to. Renny was siding with Dan since he was going with Ollie’s deal. She did however get a bit upset when they discussed who would go up after the veto was played. Renny got a bit snippy with Dan, thinking she would go on the block. It was odd to see Renny turn this way but humorous at the same time. On the other side of the house were Ollie, Jerry and Michelle. Although Michelle already knew the PoV clause of the deal, Ollie filled Jerry in but he didn’t buy it. Dan screwed Jerry over before and he didn’t doubt that he would do it again. Ollie was still in high hopes thing and on his “I’m the HoH” trip. He’ll learn soon though, oh will he ever.

When the houseguests were all called into the living room they knew something was up. Everyone got emotional when the chance for a call from home was revealed but Michelle took it hardest. She cried before the winner was even announced since she misses her mother. She’s talked about her mom several times on the feeds so I can understand her pain but I doubt she realizes what America thinks about her. The next morning a phone suddenly appeared in the house and began to ring. Michelle was the one to first hear it and picked it up. Jerry’s daughter was on the other end and it became obvious that Jerry won America’s vote. He talked to his grandson and wife, who had parkinsons. It was nice to see the two talk and touching as well. One of the better calls from home and Jerry deserved it for sure.

Following the call from home, Dan was talking to both Memphis and Keesha in his HoH. They realized how important it was to win the PoV since Dan wanted to go against his word and put Michelle on the block. The three realized she was a powerful force in the house and wanted her gone. When the Power of Veto players were chosen, everyone but Ollie would be playing. He was a bit pissed that he couldn’t control his “own fate’ but since he’s HoH he’s safe anyway right? Oh yeah, he ISN’T the HoH although he may think he is. Stupid, stupid Ollie.

For the Power of Veto competition the six players would play in two heats. The winner from each heat would face off in one last round to see who would win the Power of Veto. In order to win the players had to fly across a gap in “Planet Veto” to grab several puzzle pieces. The first to get their puzzle together would win the heat. In the first go around, Dan, Keesha and Michelle faced off. It was really only up to Michelle or Keesha to win as Dan was, once again, throwing it. Although Michelle was good at gliding, Keesha’s puzzle skills gave her the win for the first heat. In round two Memphis, Jerry and Renny were gliding for a win. Since Renny was only in it to have fun, Jerry and Memphis competed to win the power. Memphis ended up getting his puzzle together quicker, pitting him against Keesha for the Power of Veto. Since both were going ot use it if they won it wasn’t that pivotal to rush. In the end Memphis put the new puzzle together faster, giving him the Power of Veto to take himself off the block.

Since everyone knew Memphis would remove himself, Dan had to put someone else up on the block. He discussed that Michelle would go up with his alliance and they all agreed. When he got to talk to Ollie he said that the deal was still on but wanted to play a game at the veto meaning. He asked Ollie to say to the house that Renny would go on the block if he could pick the replacement. Ollie was a bit confused since he wanted Keesha on the block. He did agree though as did Michelle to say Keesha and Keesha to say Michelle. Renny was the only one to not want to tell Ollie that he wanted him up since he felt it was a cop out for Dan. She wanted Dan to put the target on himself and it was smart of Renny to do that. In the end she agreed to do that and all four did just that at the meeting. Once Memphis took himself off it was up to Dan to put Michelle on the block. After his “game” he told Ollie he lost his bet and placed Michelle next to Jerry. We didn’t get to see too much of Ollie’s temper tantrum but hopefully on Thursday more will come!

With the lack of fights this week we finally got a “clip show” episode with some actual strategy thrown in. After winning HoH last week, Renny has created a stir between the two sides of the house. Although she was happy for her friend, Keesha worried that Renny would pull a crazy move while April knew she was going on the block. It was nice to see Renny win something as many underestimated her and when she became emotional I somewhat knew it would be a very stable, yet crazy at times, week.

As Keesha, Renny and the gang celebrated their win, Ollie and April used the time to scheme. They knew April was going up and, being annoyed themselves with Jerry, they knew she could put Ollie up with her. Since Jerry was barging in on them every three minutes they knew he had to go on the block with April. Being that most the house had some kind of beef with them it was the only thing that could save the duo and keep the season’s showmance alive! Renny had other plans though as she realized Memphis was getting too close with Keesha. Keesha was Renny’s main alliance and she feared that Memphis could steal her away. This put the idea in Renny’s mind to possibly put Memphis on the block and Keesha assured her that there was no deal made.

Later that night Renny was allowed in to see her HoH bedroom. Before she entered she let everyone know how much she missed her mother and father and how they would love to see her on the show. When she saw their two pictures a new side of Renny was shown as she sobbed, almost uncontrollably. It was nice to see a softer sid of Renny. Like Jerry said she’s been putting on a clown show for everyone so far but her serious side is there. She was fine while reading her letter from home though and everyone enjoyed it when she read it out loud. Renny had one of the best HoH bedroom segments and it’s great to be a part of it.

Following that touching moment we were blessed with a few fillers. First up was the torture of April’s stuffed dog: Holly. Renny was the first to grab it and throw it around outside. Michelle egged her on and when April came out to see her pet being thrown around she scrambled. Renny then threw it to Dan, in the hot tub, and it went for a swim. April was visibly upset and Renny was happy to see that as she let us know in the Diary Room. Next up CBS finally decided to show Ollie and April’s romance other then little things. They showed the two cuddling in bed and Ollie fake proposed to her. They talked about how they are just friends, but us feed watchers know that is a lie!

The next day it was all about the food competition. The season was missing a “dinner from hell” but we got something even better: Rock, Paper, Scissors From Hell! The house was slit into two teams being: Keesha, Dan, April and Michelle on the red team and Jerry, Memphis and Ollie on the black team. They would go head to head in Big Brother’s version of rock, paper, scissors: Crickets, Slop, Pigs Feet. Each round the person who picked the winning food item would have to eat it. If they did they would gain a point for their team, the first to four would win food for the week. The losing team would be on slop.

Up first were Dan and Memphis. Dan chose crickets, which he had to eat and did eat, putting the red team up one point. Next was Michelle vs Ollie where Michelle won with crickets as well, she also ate them and gained another point making it two for red and zero for black. Third up was April and Jerry where Jerry won by eating slop giving the red team their first point. When Dan and Memphis came back up, Memphis won this time by picking pigs feet which he ate, making it a tied game. When Michelle and Ollie went back up Michelle chose pigs feet, which she loves, and ate them easily. April and Jerry went up and April was making the game point for the red team. She chose pigs feet yet she is vegetarian. She ate all three in two bites, claiming victory for the red team. That meant Ollie, Jerry and Memphis were on slop for the week but thanks to America they also get to eat giant lollipops!

Ollie was the focus of the next few segments, the first being his fear of birds. It was on the feeds a few days ago but CBS finally got around to showing it. A few crows decided to land on the outside wall one day and it freaked Ollie out. He ran around the back yard, trying to avoid them before finally sneaking back inside out of their site. Up in the HoH bedroom Renny was making moves and trying to decide her nominations. She wanted April on the block for sure but wanted to split up April, Ollie and Jerry without angering all three. Her conclusion was to put up either Dan, Memphis, Keesha or Michelle as a pawn but they all said no. Renny then realized that Ollie hadn’t been playing the game, at all, and called him to her room. She told him straight out what she thought but he said he was there to win. He also called April a big threat, which I think saved him as Renny put April and Jerry on the block. Keesha didn’t seem to happy with that while April was ecstatic that Ollie didn’t go up. Should be an interesting veto as us feed watchers still have no clue what the winner will do. To find out tune back Tuesday when the PoV is played and possibly used!

Big Brother is known for it’s explosive arguments this season and I think after the HoH was won there won’t be a dry spell anytime soon. Following Jerry’s very crazy Power of Veto speech nobody was happy with him. Everyone from Memphis to Michelle felt Jerry went out of his way to belittle Dan, calling him “Judas”. Dan couldn’t have been more thrilled though as he felt it helped his game. He knew everyone was angry with Jerry now and the target was moving off of himself.

Although Libra felt dead in the water, Keesha somewhat buried herself a bit by getting in a fight with April. She and Ollie wanted to switch up the game since April felt Keesha was jealous of her looks. This left Ollie to go to Libra about using their votes plus Jerry’s to keep her in the game. She only needed to get Dan to vote for her and that was the issue. The problem came when Memphis offered Dan an alliance called the “renegades”. It would consist of the two of them plus Keesha and Renny. They felt they should keep their alliance separate from the girls but string them along as far as they could. When Libra talked to Dan about being the swing vote he couldn’t give her a yes or no and she accepted that. Dan wavered on his vote but still seemed set on voting Libra out with his new alliance.

For the interview from home we finally got to see Libra’s husband talk about the “issue” of her leaving her twins. This means BB is betting on Libra going, since most who get a chat from home are mostly likely on the bubble to leave. In his chat Libra’s husband let us know she is a great mother and that his mother in law helps him with Libra’s children. They then played the Michelle freak out for him and he was obviously shaken by it. He didn’t like the way she talked about Libra taking the trip and that her children should be taken away. Although he knew she was strong he felt she was there for the right reasons, hopefully putting her critics to rest.

When it came time to talk to the houseguests Julie focused on the Dan/Jerry fight. Dan joked about it saying that Jerry should call him “Mr. Judas” while Jerry was still angry about Dan (America) voting Jessie out. When Julie talked to HoH Michelle alone she let us know that she wants her parents to be proud. She also talked about being friends with April and how it’s basically for the game at the moment.

Julie then returned back downstairs to administer the live vote. Although some were wavering it was obvious that Libra would go, and she knew it. With 6 - 0 votes, Libra walked out of the house in a good mood and saying that she had “fun”. It’s sad to see Libra go as she brought much drama to the house but the new HoH should do the very same.

During the HoH the houseuguests were given quotes from the diary room made by Brian, Steven, Angie and Jessie. The first person to buzz in would get to say who said the quote, if they were correct they could eliminate someone from the Head of Household. If they were incorrect, they would be out of the challenge. Renny got the first question right and kicked April out. Next up was Dan who also got his correct and booted Jerry from winning. Ollie, Memphis and Dan then answered incorrectly, kicking themselves out of the competition. That left best friends Keesha and Renny. Renny buzzed in last and correctly answered Brian. That gave Renny her first HoH win and shifted the power once again. Who will she put up? It’s going to be an interesting one and another one for the books I’m sure!
