It’s been awhile in the making but Big Brother 10 proved once again that a solid two person alliance can make it to the final two. With Dan and Memphis, the Renegades, sitting in the final two spot of the season it is now the third time in a row an alliance of two from the very start will win the game. On Tuesday night we saw Keesha walk out of the Big Brother house, furious as Memphis and giving Dan all the glory. Dan’s outburst as Keesha was elected against Memphis was just staged in hopes to throw Jerry off the Renegade trail. As the three were flying up in the sky for the endurance Head of Household, Dan and Memphis continued their “feud”. They wanted Jerry to think he was safe with both of them and he fell for the bait.
Although Jerry didn’t fall off the airplane on purpose, with only 10 minutes in Jerry’s plan tilted and he fell to the padded ground. He felt bad for not staying up longer but with the “feud” between Dan and Memphis he had a feeling both would take him now. Knowing Jerry wouldn’t last very long Dan and Memphis planned for Memphis to throw the HoH and give Dan the win. It did go according to plan but Memphis just took longer then expected to fall. That gave Dan the win for the first part of the HoH, pitting Memphis against Jerry in the second HoH “brawl”. Following the HoH Jerry realized that the feud could help him. Since he stuck with Memphis for a few rounds now he kind of hung around him but that just added to the “tension” between the two Renegades.
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!
The first live eviction of Big Brother 10 went off without a hitch having a few firsts for the new format of the show. Not only did the live audience return but the first ever socket puppet show was performed making it a fun yet dramatic episode. It all started off following the nomination of Brian following Jessie’s leave with the PoV. This meant either Brian or Renny would go with the most likely scenario being Brian. He immediately went up to Jerry to find out what happened and learned that Ollie jumped ship. Jerry told him that Ollie was the one who brought everyone up to the room and Brian was NOT happy about that.
That night Brian pulled his “bro” Dan and “ex-bro” Ollie into his sofa, which he’s spent countless hours on on the feeds, and got down to business. He asked Ollie what went down and he basically told him that it was more a house decision rather then his which is kind of a lie. Dan didn’t take too well to that as he realizes he’ll have a hard time lieing in the house because of his morals. I for see Dan going soon, thanks to Ollie, as they are now the battling bible boys.
With Ollie now the leader it seems that April isn’t too mad at him anymore. She easily kissed him and even asked him for it. Both said they are just playing the other so it will be interesting to see who turns on the other first. April wasn’t only with Ollie though as her and the two girls, Libra and Keesha, realized they will be seen as a target. Brian saw that as well and wanted to turn the two on each other. He used Angie to do so and that little event ended up with another meltdown right before the votes were to be cast.
Knowing he was probably going home Brian came up with a rather interesting scheme to stay. He wanted people to realize he’s fun in the house and vote for him to stay for that reason. The now famous puppet show was then shown and seemed more boring on TV then it was in real life. I’m not sure why they edited it the way they did, leaving out most of the good parts, and a laugh track from the live audience would have been nice as well. Following the puppet show it seemed that Brian’s plan worked. Steven and Angie both said they felt Brian leaving would remove some fun from the house and this put Angie to work. She told Keesha that there was a possibility that Brian could stay if she voted for him. Little did Angie know, April was watching a few feet away and later that night let everyone know that Keesha was playing both sides.
Outside by the pool table, where most of the fights seem to begin, April was talking to Ollie and a few other guys about how Keesha was jumping ship to be with Angie. Keesha knew what was going on and didn’t take it too lightly. April then sprang up and moved towards Keesha but was held back by Ollie and pulled into the house. After doing so she told Renny she may be going and hated that Keesha switched on them. Outside Keesha was letting loose about April. Swearing left and right and saying how she couldn’t stand to be around her. Everyone saw the fight and I’m glad that CBS included it even though it happened last night. It’s a big deal and could possibly change the direction of the game.
Following the fight we went live to chat with the house. Julie told to Jessie first who said that he still doesn’t like Renny has she shows him no respect. Renny then said the same thing and told Jessie, once again, that he has some growing up to do and he should do what he says. Libra was the only other house guest to talk to Julie and she was asked a rather interesting question. It was about her leaving her five month old kids to be in the house. Libra told America that they don’t know her situation and she’s doing it for her family. She’s reminding me more and more of Daniele every day. Up in his HoH bedroom Jerry talked openly to Julie. He told her about how his military background will play into the game and how he was forced to put Brian up. Nothing much else came from that so it was time for the eviciton.
I’m surprised they did a live vote but the did and it turned out rather well. Both Renny and Brian asked to stay yet we all knew who was going. Once all the votes were cast Brian was sent packing by a vote of 9 to 1. Only Dan voted to keep him in and Brian exited the house to a live audience. It seemed thrilling to see the audience react to his leave but to be honest the live audience didn’t add much else other then clapping. When he talked to Julie, Brian seemed in good spirits. He says that Memphis will be the winner if he plays his cards right so we shall see!
For the first real HoH was had a familiar beginning challenge. Everyone was asked a question where two of the houseguests would be a possible answer. Everyone would then choose one and the people who were in the minority would be removed from the challenge. In the end four people remained: Libra, Ollie, Jessie and Steven. They were asked how many pillows were on the bed in the start of the Power of Veto challenge and Jessie came closest without going over. Making him the official challenge threat of the game as he’s won the only two they’ve had so far.
Memphis continued their “feud”. They wanted Jerry to think he was safe with both of them and he fell for the bait.
