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!
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.
With the only showmance of the season gone Big Brother turns to its home stretch. Following the eye opening Power of Veto ceremony, the house was up in confusion about who offered Dan the money. April was upset that he would tell everyone while Jerry was upset that April would stoop that low for a vote. Michelle was really the only one wondering who, between April and Jerry, did the offering and when she confronted Dan he simply said it wasn’t meant that way. I don’t think they ever got to the bottom of the money question but the bribing sure didn’t end there.
When Ollie and April realized that they may be spending their last week together they went into game mode. Both targeted Michelle to start but she quickly shot them down, saying she would vote however the house voted. This led them, once again, to Dan. Ollie started off by saying how he would have two people not putting him on the block if they won HoH compared to Jerry who was only one person. April then got to Dan and let him know she would do anything for his vote, even throwing him a few gold bars. It’s a shame she would use the money to gain a vote from Dan after he basically revealed that she did earlier. Dan hinted that his mind was still not made up which seemed to set April at ease a bit atleast.
For the nights interview from home we finally got to see how April and Ollie’s family feel about their “showmance”. During the segment we saw the two discussing moving in together, which April says was a huge joke, but who knows. Ollie’s parents were up first and talked highly of their son. I still wonder if they REALLY know what’s going on in the house. Although his father didn’t know what a showmance was he said it was ok as long as it was real. April’s sister was happy for the couple as well, comparing Ollie to herself. The only time she disagreed with the relationship was when Ollie “fake” proposed. Her eyes lit up so fast you could hardly tell the difference between her and her twin April!
During the time Julie took to talk to the houseguests little was given out. The questions weren’t that hard hitting this week which was kind of disappointing. Showing a video to the houseguests of Ollie’s fear of birds was the only good thing that came from the segment which led into a very long Renny rant. Up in the HoH Julie hardly got any words in as Renny blabbed about her different sides and her mother and father. She also went on how she is against Memphis and always was. It was about 10 minutes and I’m sure the producers were freaking out, hoping she would stop to give them a break to go to the votes!
When Renny finally shut up long enough for the votes it was that time. April was evicted as suspected and walked out the door happy with only Ollie’s vote not cast for her. Outside she let Julie know that her and Ollie’s relationship is more of a friend them “romance” but they sure didn’t act that way in the house. The audience laughed when Julie mentioned starting a family and I’m sure April realized then that everyone knew her and Ollie’s not so hidden secret. April’s interview outside was actually one of the better ones this season and led us into probably one of the most entertaining endurance HoHs ever devised.
Out in the backyard all six players for the HoH sat on a round disk. They were themed as vines and when it started to rain it seemed that would be it. BUT there is SO much more to this challenge that makes it one of the most fun to watch. Every so often the vines swing back and actually swing the houseguests into a wall! It actually seems kind of fun but after awhile I assume there will be some brusing. If only Renny was in the mix it would be so much more fun to watch but atleast we have Jerry to make fun of! He’s already starting the “do you know how old I am” complaints!
What can I say? Big Brother 10 is showing what Big Brother is meant to be as it continues to shift power and shock not only the house guests but the viewers as well. With a surprise eviction for one player, a rebound shift of power for another and 9 All Stars entering the house who can’t love Big Brother 10?
Following the Power of Veto ceremony it was on awwn as Keesha and Libra wanted to shift the vote to evict Jessie. They knew that April wanted Memphis gone and when they tried she wouldn’t budge on evicting Jessie. Although the two girls pretended to still want Memphis out, Keesha put a plan in motion that would split the group and possibly evict Jessie. She knew that she needed four votes to evict this week but only had three in herself, Libra and Renny. That’s where Dan, America’s Player, came into play. Keesha grabbed Dan, along with Memphis, to show Libra they had the votes. When Dan agreed it was set that Jessie would go, but it was still up to America.
In the backyard April was worried that the two girls would flip and let Jerry know they might. He immediately knew that Dan was the swing vote and talked to him, telling him that he can’t be persuaded by Libra and Keesha. Dan kind of agreed but in an “hmmm, ok Jerry” manner and basically shrugged Jerry off. I don’t know how Jerry couldn’t realize it, but hey I guess he’s old. That night Dan talked directly too America, telling us that we better do what is best for him. It was fun to see someone talking to US and hopefully we didn’t screw Dan over too much.
The night was all about Dan as we saw a video from his family and football team. The team seemed supportive of their coach, although they seemed like they were more Dan’s friends rather then players. His family was split on the America’s Player twist as his sister loved it while his mother hated it. She felt it would hurt his game play but his sister knew he could pull through. After that Julie talked a bit with April. She didn’t mention anything about April and Ollie, you know, but April did say that she feels that her and Ollie’s relationship is true.
When it was time to vote the producers made it pretty obvious. They had Michelle, Jerry and Ollie vote first followed by Libra, Keesha and Renny. Dan was the obvious tie breaker, in reality it was America, and we forced him to evict Jessie. When Jessie walked out of the house, Michelle smacked her hands together and faced in front of everyone. She wasn’t too happy an either was Jessie. Although he didn’t go out in a rage he did leave somewhat angry, not the exit I had hoped for but still pretty good.
During the HoH the houseguests were asked to remember wake up calls that occurred last night. CBS had viewers send in wav files of what they should play to wake up the houseguests. Michelle was the only one to stay up all night and listen to them all. When it came down it is, Libra and Michelle were the final two of the competition. Michelle’s all nighter pulled off as she gained the Head of Household and shifted the power of the house. After such a huge eviction, this should be interesting as Michelle was the one most angry for the leave of Jessie. Oh I can’t wait to see how Michelle, and Jerry, blow up!
Before the show ended Julie dropped a HUGE bomb on us, but not the house. Ten former players of the game will enter the house sometime this weekend to play against those still in the game. In celebration of the 10th season Chicken George, Bunky, Amy, Jun, Jase, Janelle (I’m sure so many are happy about that), Boogie, Jen, Matty and Brian will play in a challenge against the remaining nine. What will the challenge be and what does it mean for the game? Tune in later to find out!
Big Brother has done it once again, pulling off three major events (plus one news breaking event) in one night! Following last episodes Power of Veto ceremony, Angie and Jessie knew that one of them were going home. Although Angie knew the cards weren’t in her favor, she still fought to stay in the game. Michelle took the news that the veto wasn’t being used the hardest as both of her friends were on the block. She cried to Angie that she would have a hard choice to make, but its obvious she’s closer to Jessie so I don’t know why she’s crying. Once again Michelle shows her Amber side.
Back outside, where she took Brian’s spot on the couch, Angie pulled some strings and created another meltdown. While talking to Jerry, Angie got Jerry to say that Memphis, Jessie and Michelle were “cocky” and controlling the house. Once Jerry left she filled in the three he mentioned and they weren’t too happy that Jerry told Angie she could still be in the game. Immediately after hearing their names were brought up, Michelle and Jessie lashed out at Jerry who fought back. It was another major fight in the house and hopefully not the last. I must say it was smart of Angie to cause the fight but in the end it didn’t seem like anything would save her.
Later that day it was all about the earthquake. As most people know, the earthquake hit LA the other day and the houseguests made the news for being involved. We finally got to see the full footage of the earthquake hitting the house and everyone reacted as expected, except for Jerry. He thought a truck hit the house…. uh no. That night more shaking happened in the house, but this time thanks to Jessie. He blew Libra a kiss and told her “bye bye” through the window and she didn’t like that too much. The next morning Jessie called Jerry “father time” which set him off once again. With Jessie being his cocky self some were trying to decide if Jessie really SHOULD go. Ollie, April and Libra agreed that if Keesha agreed it they would vote Jessie out but she never really said if she would.
When Julie first got to talk to the houseguests it was time to get things out in the open. She let us know that the banner had nothing to do with the game or Big Brother and gave Michelle a chance to reveal that. She didn’t so Julie turned to Memphis and Jerry. Memphis let us know that he thinks hurting his ego is worse then being punched in the face while Jerry apologized. Renny also got a shout out for her birthday but nothing else, not even a birthday cake!
Before the vote both Angie and Jessie were given the chance to say why they should stay. Angie made one of the best pre-vote speeches ever on the show, in my eyes, but nobody listened. Angie was evicted by 8 votes to 0 for Jessie and she became the first women evicted from the house. Outside with Julie Angie broke down and began to cry. She finally said she felt the girls were jealous of her and that’s why she was voted out and also said she has nothing romantic going with Brian.
Following Angie’s chat with Julie we FINALLY got to see who was chosen as America’s Player. Dan was selected from the vote and accepted to be the new America’s Player for a week. He said since America chose him he couldn’t say no and the money didn’t hurt either. I think Dan will do a great job being America’s Player and it will also affect his game play as it will most likely force him to choose a side. To vote for who you want to see Dan target for nomination, head over to http://CBS.com/bigbrother and vote in the America’s Player poll.
For the HoH it is endurance as rumored and a very interesting one. It puts the houseguests right back into the earthquake as they stand on a ledge of a shaking building. Of course Big Brother threw some dirt and garbage on them but other then that they are just standing on a ledge that could possibly get lower. Since it is endurance we have no clue who will won as it is still going on. To find out who does win HoH make sure to stay tuned to http://bigbrotherloop.com for the latest updates on the HoH as we will keep you up to date on the latest HoH rankings.
Big Brother is known for its sudden change in power and tonight is no different. Following the Power of Veto ceremony both Steven and Dan realized that one of them would surely be going home. Both took a different approach to stay with Dan staying quiet and Steven pushing people to vote in his corner. Steven made the first move by asking one side of the house to keep him in the game. That side just happened to be the one aligned with Keesha and it almost seemed like they were swinging is way and could vote for Steven to stay. Dan, on the other hand, stood with Jessie and Michelle and told both of them to let him know if he should start campaigning.
It was obvious that the house was now divided into three sections. The first is Libra, April, Ollie and Keesha hanging on by a thread. They are act like they are tight but there are cracks that have formed as the three girls can’t stand each other. The other side is more solidified being Angie, Michelle, Memphis and Jessie. While outside Angie let Memphis know she can’t stand Libra and April and it’s obvious there is about to be a battle between the two groups. Last by not least are the floaters who really have no loyalty to anyone at the moment. Renny, Jerry and Dan as of now have no set alliance and could really be the swing vote for the rest of the game. Winning HoH for one of them would surely pull them to a side and I await that to happen.
When it came time for Julie to pop up she had a few interesting questions for the houseguests. I’m really liking the live shows this year as Julie is doing a great job and this time around the live audience added much more to the show. After bringing up the Jerry/Libra fight, Julie turned to Ollie and April who were visibly nervous about talking about their “romance”. If you’ve been following the feeds you would know they’ve gotten very “close” and I think the producers wanted some chatter on that. But to their dismay neither April or Ollie revealed their actions to the house or the world but they did hint at least!
The first family package was then shown as the Renny and Jessie fight was brought up again. Both of their families were asked about not only their loved ones but how they saw their enemy as well. Renny’s family were very happy for their mom and also very against Jessie. Renny’s son continuously called Jessie a weasel but Jessie’s mother disagreed. She felt her son was great on the show and much more then a body, like he always says. It was interesting to see how the families took sides and for once stuck with their loved ones in the house. In previous seasons we’ve seen family members turn against their loved ones but this year it is a nice change of pace!
After a quick chat with Jessie it was time for Dan and Steven to give their possible final words. Dan was rather quick and basically said Sharon’s famous words, that if it was his time to go it was his time to go. Steven took a completely different route though, like he’s promised all week, and pulled a more humorous “Chelsia”. He quoted some fun sayings from the house and basically told everyone to “suck it” but in a more funny way. It was good to see the houseguests have fun on eviction night rather then blast out of the house in anger like some have in the past. When all the votes were cast it was unanimous for Steven to leave the house with a 9 to 0 vote. Not even his good friend Keesha could throw him a pity vote and he was out the door.
For the HoH competition the houseguests were treated to some scare tactics as aliens appeared several times behind the mirrors. April, Renny and Jessie saw the crazy ET like creatures and seemed more in shock then scared. Of course it was just a rubber alien with a green light shining on it but still rather humorous. The HoH wasn’t based on the alien sightings though but rather what they “abducted”. Several things were removed from the house and it was the houseguests job to remember which room and which items were removed.
To begin the challenge were Dan and April who were chosen as random. Dan buzzed in first and with a correct guess knocked April out of the HoH and chose Libra and Renny to compete next. With a wrong answer Renny took herself out and allowed Libra to choose Memphis and Angie to compete for the third question. After getting the answer right Memphis knocked out Angie and chose Keesha and Michelle to compete. Michelle took herself out and Keesha chose Libra and Dan. Libra made it through again taking out Dan, giving Keesha and Memphis a shot at the next question. Getting her first question right, Keesha took Memphis out of the game and forced Ollie and Libra to compete. Libra continued her streak and took out Ollie, pitting the final challenge for the HoH between herself and Keesha. After getting her last question wrong, Libra handed over the HoH to Keesha. This should be a VERY interesting week since Keesha is on the fence with her current alliance. Will she turn on the girls and Ollie or will she do their dirty work? Stay tuned to find out!
