When have you ever seen a gorilla in the Big Brother house? Well there is a first time for everything and that’s just the beginning! With one final twist BB10 is proving to be one of the best in a long time as it comes to a close. Following Renny’s eviction the final four both celebrated and cried. Dan seemed happy to see Renny go as he knew she couldn’t be beaten in the finals. Keesha took it the worst as she cried alone outside. She filled us in that Renny was her only tie in the game and now she is alone. Maybe her and Jerry can be alone together?
After the last Head of Household where Dan won, the houseguests were confronted with a sumo wrestler. After Dan stole the envelope from underneath the sumo’s butt the luxury competition was on! Sadly they had to wait for the next day to encounter even more strange things but we’ll get to that in a moment. But while they waited the houseguests discussed somethings and killed a moth. Jerry was on a “keep me roll” by telling Memphis the jury would vote Keesha over any of them. He seemed to buy it but then again Memphis has lied to Jerry before. Later that night it was time to feed the……. spider. Memphis and Dan both grabbed some moths and throw them into their pet spiders web. Keesha didn’t want anything to do with it going into her PETA mode but the boys didn’t care. The spider went to town on the moth, putting some education into Big Brother for once!
The next morning another pet, a gorilla, entered the house. Well it wasn’t a REAL gorilla but rather Jessie in a costume. With the luxury competition the houseguests had to decipher a phrase from several items in the backyard. With a contortionist, giant elephant, a tub of god knows what and a stuffed dog it really could have been anything. But with Jessie, I mean the gorilla, in the backyard things got a bit simpler. Jessie covered up items that didn’t have anything to do with the challenge until only two remained.
Jerry used up all of his three guesses before most of the items were covered up and made guesses that had nothing to do with the game. By guessing “diamonds are a girls best friend” and “hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil” Jerry was clueless and obviously not winning the luxury comp. Keesha also gave some odd answers such as “blew-it”. Yeah you sure did blow it Keesha! Memphis answered only once, simply because he had to. He said “fruitless exit” whatever that means. Dan was the only one to make sense with his answer by saying “bury the hatchet”. By guessing that it gave him the luxury win and a great one at that. Dan’s reward is that he gets to go to a private beach for a day and can take one person along with him. The catch is that he can take either one of the final four with him or one of the jury members. Since he didn’t want to anger the house, and possibly gain a jury vote, so Dan choice Michelle to travel to the private beach. It was smart as she is angry at him but then again it could always backfire.
With the luxury fun over it was time for the nominations. Before Dan would pull the single key of safety he had a little chat with Memphis. Memphis didn’t want to go up, obviously not realizing it didn’t matter who went up, but in the end Dan persuaded him that Memphis going up was the best case. It would make Jerry and Keesha think they didn’t have any deals and for Dan it would also put some good karma his way with Keesha. In the end Dan did just that by placing Jerry and Memphis on the block. Find out Tuesday night who wins the Power of Veto and details on Dan’s trip with Michelle. Will it pay off the way he wanted it to? Remember the show is LIVE on Tuesday at a new time, 8pm est.
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.
Big Brother sure isn’t getting any worst but WOW is it getting better then ever! The fights this season are intense and like I’ve never seen before. Following the eviction of Jessie, the house split their feelings as they split their sides. Michelle was upset, obviously, and she cried and screamed to let everyone know. April was upset for another reason, her “friends” backstabbed her by not voting out who she wanted. Oh poor girl, get over it. Libra and Keesha were estatic as they should be, they finally got what they wanted and pulled off a great blindside. Even if Jessie says he knew. The best quote of the night came from Keesha who said she was “sending Jessie back to his real girlfriend. Priceless! Dan was the only one who was neither happy nor sad. I think he wanted Jessie to go, but knew people would explode. Jerry went on him the hardest by saying he should “burn in hell” but Dan decided to send himself to bed, hoping to hide the fight.
When Michelle won the HoH the mood changed for both sides. Michelle was crazy, screaming and yelling that she would avenge Jessie. April was happy as well since her new best buddy Michelle was in power. Is it just me or does April flow with the power more then anyone I’ve ever seen? When the houseguests were let back into the house the fights started with Michelle and Renny. Renny made a comment that morning about Michelle being crazy for staying up for all of the wake up calls. Michelle brought it up, while Renny was standing there, and Renny went off. She went on another one of her tiffs but quickly moved away to let Libra and Keesha fight off the Portuguese Princess and now April. The four girls continued to spat for several minutes, with Jerry chiming in about Dan “burning in hell” now and again. The guys, and Renny, were generally unharmed from the fight but oh how the girls sure pulled the nails out for this one!
During the fight Memphis had to play both sides. He wasn’t happy with those who were saying things about Dan’s religion and decided that he would stick with Dan. He told Dan that he would be safe, since he did have a voice in what Michelle did. Although Memphis didn’t stick up for Dan in the house, he did in the Diary Room and shows the two may work well in the future. Later that night Dan continued his “weakness” when Michelle came to talk to him. He lifted his head out from the pillow for a few moments to talk with Michelle who wanted to know why he voted for Jessie. He wouldn’t say way, rather saying he wasn’t sure why he voted for Jessie to leave. Other then that Michelle didn’t care to talk and left. When she did Dan gave another face to the camera. He’s still playing for America, or too America at least.
Before Michelle got to enter her Head of Household bedroom, Libra asked if they were allowed in. She said that would be, and that although it is a game she would be upset if they didn’t come upstairs. When everyone finally got to see the Portuguese family Michelle has non-stop talked about, some were more happy then others. April acted so happy for Michelle, which angered Memphis a bit. He feels April is a bit fake, which I agree with, and others have seen it as well. Renny also got a bit emotional as she realized that she is missing her family. She went down to cray in the hippy room. We don’t see much of this on the show from Renny but finally the TV audience has seen her softer, less crazy, side.
The next morning it was time for the much anticipated return of the houseguests. The ten who were returning where: Chicken George, Bunky, Amy, Jun, Jase, Janelle, Mike Boogie, Jen, Matty and to host it was Brian. It seemed like a good premise but the ten only got to talk for 30 seconds if that. They hardly got to show their real selves and most seemed scripted. Along with that, Brian was an awful host and basically killed most of the moments.
The entire part of the challenge was for food. For each day one of the BB10 houseguests would challenge a former houseguests on if a news article was true or false. The former player would then have to give a little statement about the article, trying to trick the BB10er into thinking it was true or false. Dan was up first and chose to face Boogie. Dan got the Brett Farve article and although Boogie told him the truth, Dan didn’t believe it and they lost slop for Monday. Some also lost some brain cells as they were upset about the trade. Next up was Renny who chose to face against Jen. Since she probably didn’t feel like being there, Jen told Renny she was her favorite and that her story about gas prices was false. Renny agreed and won food for the house on Tuesday. The next few players got their answers wrong but I’ll give you the choices anyway. Jerry chose Janelle, Memphis chose Amy, Ollie chose Matty (who said Natalie was “hiding in the bushes”) and flirted with Michelle, Libra chose Bunky, Michelle chose Jase and April chose Chicken George who finally won something on Big Brother. Last up was Keesha who faced off against Jun. Although Jun gave her a great story about Paris Hilton saying George Bush was running for President…. again. Keesha disagreed and won food for Sunday. So after that, a somewhat boring segment brought some great players back and put the BB10ers on slop for all but two days.
When everyone got over the shock of seeing some past players, it was all back to the game play. Memphis decided to talk to Michelle since he thought she would be on his side. Although she said she was, it seemed she lost some trust in Memphis. She thought he was more with Libra, Renny and Keesha but he disagreed. He also pulled a bit for Dan when he said he wasn’t with them either. If Michelle was smart she would pull in Memphis and Dan and create three groups of three. Hmm I wonder if its too late to send her a banner plane! Down stairs in her resident room, Renny was upset that April was getting off free for putting Jessie up. She decided to start playing the game and went up to Michelle to tell her this. After telling Michelle that April was the reason Jessie was nominated and evicted it gave Michelle some things to think about but apparently she didn’t think about it enough. In the end Michelle put Libra and Keesha on the block. Since the two are friends it shouldn’t be a big deal but I can assure you that is wrong. On Tuesday we will see some of the worst fights on the season yet. It’s getting ugly my friends and that means it’s getting better for us!
Sorry for the lack of a Sunday night rehash but I was on vacation but it’s all back to normal now! Jumping right into things were Jessie and Michelle who were oddly calm after learning hat Jessie was going on the block. Jessie told April right away that he understood why she put him up and understood that he should be safe. Michelle was a little more annoyed though, claiming once again that the pawn always goes home. Memphis made a few comments about knowing he was going up but other then that he was his normal ‘in the shadows’ self.
After a quick stint in the diary room, Dan wasn’t too excited that America chose Jessie, of all people, to be hugged for at least 10 seconds. It wasn’t the hardest of tasks but it was sure entertaining! Dan moved quickly and created a plan to tell Jessie a sob story about his girlfriend. Um didn’t I see this somewhere before? Like maybe last summer? Dan told Jessie how he fears that Monica, his girlfriend, won’t be there when he gets out of the house. Jessie took it to heart and believed every word. In an ending move Dan hugged Jessie and didn’t let go for 17 seconds. He smirked as the clock passed the 10 second mark and it was a moment that makes America’s Player worth it, simply for Dan’s actions and remarks after he completed his task.
Later that night the houseguests were surprised with the PoV players being chosen. April, Memphis and Jessie were obviously playing along with Libra, Jerry and Michelle. April wasn’t too happy that Michelle was put in the mix and believed she was the only one who could win against them. When Libra entered the room April told her the problem and Libra didn’t like that too much. She thought that her alliance was counting her out and treating her like a weak link, since April didn’t think she could win the veto. This led another fight, about the millionth for the season, which included at least half the house on what should have been a very happy night: Keesha’s 30th birthday.
Downstairs Keesha and Libra complained, loudly I must say, about April and how she’s been treating them. Napping outside was Jessie who heard every single word, and some he only thought he heard. He immediately went upstairs to tell April what the two ladies were saying and that’s what set off the bomb. April immediately came downstairs and confronted the two. First Libra and April began to spat and yell but when Keesha tried to join the fray April brushed her off and said she would “deal with her later”. That didn’t sit well with Keesha and she went out to calm down and tell everyone else how much she hated Keesha. While that was going on Libra and April continued to argue and it finally came out that Jessie was the one who told April what they supposedly said. That’s where things got even more heated.
While everyone was in the kitchen waiting to sing Happy Birthday for Keesha; Libra, April and Jessie were arguing in the 80s bedroom. It seems to be the theme for most of the fights don’t you think? Libra and Jessie exchanged the most words with Keesha joining in for a bit. The two girls let Jessie know that what he said was all a lie and he never really did deny that he was lying. April sat in the middle of the argument and just kind of soaked things in. When everyone finally got calmed down enough to sing, Happy Birthday range out with the worst enthusiasm I ever heard! Following the song everyone sat in dead silence as they knew the fight wasn’t over. Keesha used the moment to culminate the arguement, it is her birthday don’t forget, and she had the last word as Jessie finally gave in and walked away. I must say, not since Chelsia has the house gone this insane. Good thing there were no easter eggs this time around!
Only a few hours after all the fun, or not so fun, it was time for the Power of Veto. Each round the six players would hit a hockey ball aiming at the center of a row. The person furthest from the center would be out and gain a prize. As more people went out they could either choose a previous prize that was won or keep what they just received. Memphis was out first, after almost taking Renny out with the hockey ball, and immediately won the Power of Veto. Next up was Michelle who very happily took a Hawaiian vacation, but that didn’t last too long. Jessie was out third and blamed his lost an the challenge again. Saying there really was no skill to it, seems he blames Big Brother for his losses but himself for his wins. He grabbed a Slop Special card but traded with Memphis for the PoV. With only April, Jerry and Libra left the PoV wouldn’t fall into enemy territory but the game went on.
With April going out fourth she won $10,000 that could be split however she pleased and kept it. With a perfect shot to the center, in the last round, Libra took home the winning trophy but it was Jerry who took home the Power of Veto. He asked April if she would split the money between himself, herself and Libra. She agreed so Jerry took the PoV from Jessie, giving Jessie a letter from home. In the winning trophy was the famous unitard worn by Jen and then Sheila. Libra didn’t want anything to do with it so she took the Hawaiian vacation from Michelle, setting her off more so then anything I’ve ever seen.
Following the Power of Veto competition Michelle ranting, in her very heated manner, that she won the shaft prize while everyone else got a prize. She felt Big Brother was making a fool out of her and threatened to quit. The fact that she had to wear the unitard didn’t sit well with her and she was taking it out by not showing her face in the DR. She eventually put it on but not before calling Libra a “whore”, “slut”, “skank”. Oh she also thinks Libra’s kids should be taken away since she took the vacation prize over a letter from home. She simply went crazy and claimed that’s her life story: always getting screwed.
Although Jerry won the veto many didn’t think he would use it and that’s what he did, he didn’t use the Power of Veto. This leaves both Memphis and Jessie on the block. It seems the house is split with the vote as Libra and Keesha want Jessie gone while April still wants Memphis out. It could be the end of the alliance as the two go against their HoH’s wishes but America, along with Dan, can shift the power by voting for who Dan should evict. Who do you want Dan to leave the house? Make sure to vote at CBS.com or texting your vote!
With only six people left in the Big Brother house I was wondering exactly what would be on the show as this is usually when they start using stuff from earlier. Thankfully they only used some footage that was about a week old but at least it was good! The ‘old’ footage I’m talking about were the pranks on Sheila. They actually came from April Fools day and weren’t able to use some REALLY good stuff they did to Josh. They did pull some good ones on Sheila though, such as the toilet papering of her room. I’m still not sure the powder dumping falls as ’safe’ in the rule book but I guess it was all in good fun.
The food competition was actually pretty interesting. It’s funny how much more entertaining it was was music and editing as the live feed footage of the competition was rather boring and tedious. What the houseguests had to do was create mash potato tunnel down a ramp. At the end of the ramp were several tubes where they had to maneuver the tunnels to. Once the tunnel were fully formed (or somewhat formed) both Sheila and Sharon would start pouring gravy down the tunnels. The tubes that they were able to fill up with the gravy would be the food items or prizes they would win. They actually ended up getting a lot of food, a new grill and yard toys. It was a very unique challenge and finally one that was fun to watch, on TV, and I’m sure fun to compete in!
Now it was all down to the nominations which I’m sure everyone thought were set in stone. A few days ago I posted a video showing James’ major break down to Adam in the HoH room. One thing I find interesting about this on the show is how they handled Natalie’s exit from the room, allowing James to persuade Adam to keep him safe. On the show they have Natalie explaining how it was “best for her to leave the room” since she had said enough. But in fact if you watch the live feed footage, you will see that Natalie was called to the Diary Room right after James broke down. People in the house and on the web are saying that producers felt it would be good to get Natalie out of there, to kind of allow James the freedom to talk to Adam opening. Them forcing her to say it was her choice to leave the room, on the show, kind of drives that point home and assures a known idea that yes, the producers do influence the game. Even though they say they don’t. In the end James did pull through and Adam placed both Sheila and Sharon on the block. Next time we will see what happened with the POV. Of course if you are in the BB know you already know what happens but for those who aren’t make sure to check back Tuesday for all the dirt that goes down! I can already tell Wednesday night is going to be another crazy one.
