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 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!
Last time on Big Brother 10 Brian’s two boys Dan and Steven were nominated. On the latest episode we see not only the aftermath of the nominations but the aftermath of the food competition as well. Immediately after the nominations were made Dan asked Jessie to talk up in the HoH bedroom. There they agreed on why Dan went up and both still feel that they should stick together if Dan does stay. On the other end Steven does have supporters even if they are scared to say they are. Angie and Keesha came to his side to let him know that he can still stay in the game and both seemed like they would veto him if they won.
Following the chat between Steven and Angie we finally got to see the birth of the current alliance ruling both the HoH and the veto. While Jessie and Michelle flirted, Memphis came up with a plan to secure Jessie and himself two more players for their group. They both decided that Michelle and Angie should join their alliance, giving them a core of four. Of course this happened awhile ago but CBS is just beginning to let is unravel.
Steven’s trial to stay is an interesting one as he’s playing somewhat of a Brian role in opposite. He’s trying to get people upset for him leaving and tried to find friends that would fall into his “poor me” trap. First up was Renny who he used the Hurricane Katrina bond with. They both talked about what they went through and although it may not have secured a vote with Renny it surely didn’t hurt. Next up was Keesha who flat out said that she didn’t want Steven to go. Thanks to that she told him that if she did win the veto that she would take him off, something she would deny a little later.
When it finally did come time for the Power of Veto choosing the six who were competing were Jessie, Michelle, Dan, Libra, Steven and of course Keesha. Before the challenge began Keesha let is slip to her gal pals that she would probably veto Steven if she won the PoV. Michelle was in the room when that went down and she immediately went to Memphis and Jessie to let them know. This turned the group against Keesha and it almost seemed like if the veto was used Keesha could go up. Although Michelle pushed the issue Libra would get the blame a little later.
For the Power of Veto the six players had to decipher Big Brother phrases spelled out in license plate slang. If they got the phrase right they would gain whatever points it was worth, if they were wrong they would be out of the challenge. During the first phrase given both Dan and Jessie were taken out for wrong answers. Keesha finally scooped up the correct answering, giving her a quick 10 points. For the next phrase Steven buzzed in early and took himself out, taking the two nominees and the HoH out. Michelle then answered correctly, tying it up with Keesha. For the third phrase the three girls weren’t playing for points but rather a slop pass. If they did take the pass they would be out of the competition and no longer able to win the veto. Although Libra and Keesha have been on slop for two weeks now, neither took the slop pass. This put a thought in Libra’s head that Keesha was in deed going to veto Steven if she won and that’s the reason she stayed in the game. For the fourth, and last, phrase both Libra and Keesha answered incorrectly which gave the last person standing, Michelle, the win of the veto.
Following the Power of Veto competition everyone started talking about Keesha wanting to veto Steven. When Libra, Steven and Keesha were in the 70s room together Keesha mentioned to Steven that she felt bad since she took his life away. Libra then went outside to let the others know what was said and Steven wasn’t too happy either. He didn’t want Keesha saying that in front of others and told her that Libra was saying things on the bench of the challenge about Keesha trying to save Steven. Keesha didn’t like what she was hearing so went out to confront Libra who denied saying anything at all. This turned Keesha against Libra who she called a “liar” and “shit starter” and ultimately would create the massive fight that went down between Libra, Renny and Jerry.
While Renny and Jerry were sitting in the sauna room, Keesha began bashing Libra. The two others agreed that Libra had to go and Renny let it slip that Libra wasn’t happy with having the two older people on her team for the food comp. Jerry didn’t like that too much and the next morning he let Libra have it. Although I said the last fight in the house between Keesha and April was bad this one was even worse. Libra went off as well as Jerry and Renny ended up joining the fray a little later. In the end it was one crazy fight over nothing really and made Libra look like the bad guy. In my eyes it was Keesha as she’s the one spreading the rumors about Libra. Guess that’s what happens when the houseguests can’t watch the feeds like we can!
Since he knew he was probably going Steven made a move to save himself by asking Jessie and Michelle to veto either himself or Dan. He wanted them to put Libra up in his place or Dan’s place since he felt that everyone would vote Libra out. I caught this entire conversation on the feeds the other day and have it posted at http://youtube.com/bigbrotherloop. If you want to see the unedited version then check it out, it gets rather interesting since they didn’t show Dan’s side of the conversation on the show at all.
When it was finally time for the Power of Veto ceremony we quickly learned that Michelle wasn’t using the veto. From the feeds we saw that she didn’t trust Steven’s word about people wanting Renny out and didn’t feel she had a reason to put her up in any way, shape or form. I’m not sure exactly how the vote will go tomorrow but I’m excited to see who wins the HoH. A shake up in the power would be nice and if the challenge goes the right way we could be in for another week of craziness!
After last weeks eviction of Brian I wasn’t sure how Jessie’s nominations would go down but tonight proved that being friends with Brian means you’re a huge threat apparently. Following his eviction several houseguests had some words to say. Dan, Angie and Steven were upset to see him go and feel their fun was taken away. Libra on the other hand was glad he was gone as she considered Brian her “biggest threat” while Jessie was glad he was gone as well. He also made a comment about his picture looking better in black or white. So original….. not.
At the diner table Jerry let everyone know what Julie and he talked about. He told them how she brought up him breaking his work with Brian even though he used his military word to say they were aligned. Nobody liked that, including Dan, who said that Jerry broke his word no matter what excuse he came up with. Renny then made a comment how he shouldn’t use his military in the game which caused a little tiff. Jerry let her know that she doesn’t listen and walked away before anything could come from it.
Following his win for the HoH Jessie let everyone know just how exciting he was. He was very cocky in the backyard after winning and made it obvious how the house split. Dan, Angie and Steven gathered on one side of the backyard while the others on another side. When they were finally back in Jessie and Memphis celebrated the win together, proving that they are aligned. They both then jumped up and down with Michelle while Angie walked in. Nobody was happy with how Jessie acted, especially the “We Love Brian” group.
Once again Libra wanted to sway the HoH and talked to April about getting Jessie to put Steven and Angie or Steven and Dan up. When Jessie got his key for his room everyone, besides Steven, went up to see it. Jessie had a ton of bodybuilding pictures in his room and hardly any of family or friends. I know he doesn’t decide what pictures to put but seriously, he doesn’t want people to see his body as a threat yet goes ga-ga over pictures of his body…… yeah. When everyone left Libra and her posse told Jessie that Steven and Dan had to go up. She used the fact that Steven didn’t come up to the room as a reason but Jessie wanted Renny up. They told him it would be a waste of a nomination but he still wanted her up. I’m not sure how they can use the “waste of a nomination” idea since if she is a waste now when won’t she be?
Before the food competition we were shown a few moments from within the house. First Jerry let both Angie and Libra know about his wife having parkinson’s. They both cried and he told the whole story how he worked out to make sure he could take care of her. Next up was Steven who was asked a few questions about being gay by Dan. The two seem to have been friends since moving in and Dan now realizes how much he is learning just from being in the house. Last but not least was a small moment with Jessie yelling at Angie for being friends with Brian. He told her that he can’t trust her since she was friends with the person who wanted their alliance out. It’s funny how they are bringing up an alliance (Jessie/Memphis/Angie/Michelle) that really wasn’t shown on the show but more on the feeds. Angie sat there and took it because she really had nothing to say for herself.
At the food competition everyone had to break into two teams. Libra and April weren’t happy with being on the “old people” team with Renny and Jerry. That will boil over in the next episode I’m sure and you can find out why if you search YouTube. For food the two teams had to battle it out to fill the most wine glasses in five minutes. There were three “jobs” for the teams which were throwing, filler and corker. For the green team Steven and Angie were the corkers and for the red team it was Jerry and Memphis. The throwers were Dan for green and April for red while the fillers were Renny, Libra, Keesha for red and Jessie, Michelle and Ollie. In the end both teams filled hardly any bottles as the green team won with one and a half full. The challenge caused some drama though on the red team as Libra and April went at it since April felt it was the fillers fault they lost. Libra let them know everyone worked as a team and it was the teams fault while Keesha chimed in how well Renny did. Like I said this fight will boil over on Tuesday so make sure to stay tuned!
Following the challenge Dan tried not once but twice to talk to Jessie. The first time failed as he tried to get Jessie alone in the HoH by asking to use his bathroom. Little did he know that Ollie would follow Jessie up to it looked bad on his part actually. The second time he finally got him alone and the two talked. Dan told Jessie that he would probably be going up but that he wouldn’t be upset about it. Jessie didn’t say too much but let him know that everything would be good. At the nomination ceremony Jessie still chose to put up Dan although he did say he felt he would be good to be aligned with. He put up Steven as well, who argued he was sleeping during the HoH room tour. Whatever he said wouldn’t change the nominations of Dan and Steven as only the Power of Veto can do that. Although we already know who won it and if it was used or not we find out officially on Tuesday. Check back then for the latest or you can find out now by checking out the feeds section of BigBrotherLoop.com.
Big Brother is back for its 10th season and finally returns to the summer where it belongs. This season promises 13 strangers and the most diverse cast ever and after watching the show I must admit they could be right for once! The show started off by introducing the cast which ranges from 22 year old Jessie to 75 year old Jerry. We got to see a few clips of each houseguest as they left for the house and most were rather generic as CBS generally tells them what to say and what to do.
When the real fun began at the house it was time to shake things up as Julie told everyone that the game was on. Everyone walked up to a small podium where they voted for the HoH based on looks alone. Most said they voted for Renny or Jerry but of course Julie has to pull a Seacrest and made them all wait until after the food competition.
As the groups went into the house they seemed excited for the theme. Renny grabbed the Yoko Ono glasses pretty quickly and even made a few made impressions on a few people. One, which was to Jerry, was saying how he was in WWII. Guess she didn’t realize she’d be saying that to the future first HoH now did she! At the general get to know you round table everyone seemed open to say their true names and such but some didn’t divulge everything. For instance Steven didn’t announce that he was gay and Ollie didn’t really mention anything about his life at all. Michelle on the other hand told everyone she was crazy, oh what a great way to start things off. We also got to see Jerry’s now famous boob grab as April let everyone know that yes, her boobs are real.
Julie then interrupted the house, as she always does, and let them know it was time for some fun. Of course it wasn’t the HoH results but rather the first food competition! Before they could get to that someone had to sit out. Jessie decided he’d be the one since he doesn’t want his “physique” to be a target. Um you WANT to win challenges buddy, sitting out just put a bigger target on you! But getting back to the challenge, once everyone was divided and went into the backyard it was time for a VW Beetle race! Well upside down bug race. The group who won the challenge would be able to eat for the first week while the group who lost would be on slop. Also the last person in the winning car would win a classic Mustang or Camaro (I so wanted that Camaro!) along with the food.
The object of the challenge was to cram into a small upside VW Bug and then pull the car and everyone else across the backyard. Then someone would grab a gas tank and hoof the car back to the other side of the yard where someone would jump out and stay out. One all the gas tanks and one person was left were back across the yard the group that finished first would win the car and the food. It started off rather lopsided at first with the red team beating the white team the whole way and it ended up with the red team finishing with one lap still left for the white. One interesting thing that happened was basically nobody wanted the car except for Memphis and Steven. Both said they were careless and tried to do rock/paper/scissors to decide but Steven ended up jumping out anyway. This gave Memphis the choice of cars, thank God he picked the Camaro, and the red team food for the week. On the side the slop eaters ended up being April, Brian, Libra, Jerry, Ollie and Keesha. Jessie still gets to eat since he sat out but seemed VERY upset about losing the chance for the car. That’s what he gets though for pulling such a stupid move.
Following the food/reward challenge Julie returned to announce the HoH winner. After telling Renny she came in 2nd place she then revealed that Jerry got four votes over Renny’s 3 and gave Jerry the first Head of Household for Big Brother 10. With that Julie finally left everyone be and the real game started. Brian was the real star of the show strategy wise as he started very early. He pulled Dan to the side to tell him they were similar and to align and soon Dan pulled Ollie in as well. It seems like Brian is pulling the strings and we’ll also see that a bit later. This is surely an alliance to watch out for as it could be a huge deal.
When night time hit Jessie left everyone know that he was tired and ready for bed. Little did he know Renny was sleeping next door and wow is she insane. During the night she flipped the lights on and off and cackled with a screeching laugh that woke poor Jessie up, sending him crying to everyone else about what Renny did. The next morning Renny stumbled about Jessie in the bathroom and they had a little tiff about the affair. Renny told Jessie to suck it up while he just called her old, several times in the Diary Room. Although I don’t like either of them that much Renny does odd some much needed crazy to the show as she then put on her wig and came out looking very maidish. Go Renny you crazy crazy lady!
Sure it was all fun and games for some but Brian still had the game on his mind. While Renny and Jessie argued Brian headed to the HoH to work on Jerry who quickly put himself into an alliance with Brian. He started his much famous “X-Factor” alliance, which seems kind of crazy as well, and also was talked into making Brian’s nominations. He wanted Jerry to put both Renny and Jessie up to get out the “conflict” since Jerry wanted Dan up, Brian’s apprentice. He didn’t like that too much and realized he had to play Jerry well since well, he IS the HoH and all.
Later that day the first nominations of the season were made where Jerry pulled through like he said for Brian. Both Renny and Jessie went on the block for “conflicts” that morning and basically everyone but Renny and Jessie didn’t react. We heard Renny called Jessie a “baby” at the end of the show so hopefully this leads into a lovely argument that culminates on the feeds as they being in oh 40 minutes. I can honestly say the show seems to be on the rise as BB9 is now a shadow in the past. Hopefully Big Brother 10 will keep the show fresh and new and I look forward to seeing the rest as it’s bound to be a VERY exciting summer in the Big Brother house.
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.
