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!

The Greatest American Dog took on America’s Top Model last week but this week it was all about Dancing With the Stars; or rather Dancing With the Dogs.  When the group returned from the modeling showcase it was party time. In the Dog Bone suit Laurie, Travis, Brandi and Beth Joy had a small party but Brandy wasn’t feeling it. After putting PJs on Beacon she basically shut down and wouldn’t respond to anything Brandy had to say. It wasn’t that Beacon was sick but rather just overworked and tired. Laurie took the time to explain to Brandy how she can’t humanize her pet, Brandy didn’t like that too much. She lashed out at Laurie a bit, telling her it’s her dog and she can do what she wants. It’s like Beth Joy’s “moment” all over again.

Later that night Bill was upset over his good friend Ron leaving. It seems Teresa saw that and decided to pick up where Ron left off as she became very buddy buddy with Bill. The two shared a few moments together, one which would give Bill a leg up a little later. As the two talked about missing home, Teresa mentioned how she’d love Bill to win the Dog Bone suite and see his wife. Little did she know she’d be giving him the chance to do just that the next morning.

At the Dog Bone challenge each dog was giving the challenge to cross a very narrow beam. The dog to go across the beam the quickest would win the Dog Bone suite for their owner and a new prize as well. For some reason the “Dog House” choice was removed and replaced with a leg up in the following Showcase challenge. The winner would essentially receive an advantage that could give them a boost at the challenge that meant the most when it came to saying in the game. Since all but two dogs crossed the beam there is no point mentioning them all and those two were Bill’s dog Star and Teresa’s dog Leroy. Although both crossed the beam, Leroy was much faster and gave Teresa the Dog Bone suite and the advantage. But after little thought she asked if she could give it away and decided to give Bill the suite so he could see his wife and family. It was a bold move on Teresa’s part since she was in the bottom three last week but now she had something to prove.

That night Bill finally got to see his family and everyone was supportive. Not only did he get the room, he gained a friend and shared his photos and letters with Teresa as well. The next morning Brandy tried to get Beacon pumped up but there was nobody home in the mind of Beacon. She tried four times to get Beacon to sit on command and all she would do is stand there, blankly into space. It was odd since nobody really tried to help her but now they all see it as a competition. In the end Brandy got so frustrated with Beacon, and I think Beacon with her, that they both gave up and called it a day. Luckily it was time for the Showcase challenge, or maybe not lucky for them I guess.

In the next Showcase challenge it was all about dancing. Each pair would have to put on a 1 minute routine to a themed song and showcase their best dance moves: human and dog. Since Teresa gave him the leg up in the challenge, Bill got a professional choreographer to help him with his moves. When they got to pick their songs Laurie was happy with ragtime and it showed in her performance with Andrew. They moved well together and the tricks they both did were pretty great. In the end she and Andrew were even crowned the Best in Show and my view on Laurie is finally changing, she may be my new favorite. Another who did well was JD and Galaxy. He really knows how to train his dog as they both rolled in sync and he also showed off some crazy moves on his own, that being JD. I don’t think I liked his performance as much as the judges did, as it relied more so on JD then on Galaxy but hey, whatever they say must be true. They are dog experts anyway right?

With the choreographer in hand, which I think Bill needed very badly, Bill and Star pulled off a great routine. They both showed much enthusiasm and after dancing to some old time rock and roll, Star leaped off the stage and greeted the judges which they loved. Although those were the best performances, the rest had some trouble. Teresa and Leroy were great together except for one problem: Leroy’s barking. Teresa couldn’t handle it during the dance and blamed herself for it. Luckily Leroy pulled off some great moves which I think saved them from the bottom three. The only other one who was not in the bottom three, but probably should have been, was Beth Joy and Bella Starlet. Their theme was Broadway and the only dancing both did was hop around and twirl. It was rather odd at the end too where Beth Joy grabbed Bella by the hands and “dog danced” their way to the finish. Yeah just turned me off once again.

With only three remaining that brings us to the bottom three. Travis and Presley have been great so far but were knocked down a few pegs thanks to the dancing challenge. Although Travis danced around to the country music, Presley did not and that’s the reason they were in the bottom three. Next up was Laura and Preston who had a few fumbles throughout the dance. It seemed like Preston and his bow tie didn’t agree as he sat down to scratch it several times. Luckily Brandy’s lack of training with Beacon saved Laura since Beacon just couldn’t pull anything off. One judge noticed that Brandy was over training her dog and that’s what led to Beacon shutting down. It basically forced Brandy to shut down too as she almost quit earlier in the game. As the two took their last lap it showed that they were happy to go home but sad at the same time. It was another touching moment for the show and once again another episode of Dogs take over other reality TV shows. What will it be next week? Painting of course!
