Tonight’s Survivor showcased another Fang loss, two to be exact and another Fang Tribal Council. After last weeks vote out of GC both Ace and Sugar knew something had to happen in order to keep them safe the next round. When Matty realized he wasn’t really in with anyone in the tribe he pulled Ace aside. The two then created an alliance based on swearing on a loved one. Matty swore on his girlfriend while Ace swore on his mother that they would never vote each other out. They quickily disbanded, knowing they weren’t really trusting each other but at least it adds something to the lacking strategy of Fang.

Over at Kota they began to complain about something. Guess all isn’t happy in perfect land. With their abundance of food Kota has been eating well but one tribe member has been eating too well. It seems Dan has been eating four portions per meal and it isn’t sitting to well with Corrine. She doesn’t understand why she has to feed Dan and Dan alone. Maybe if she would throw a challenge things would be all better! Back over at Fang food issues were also springing up. Since they only have six days of rice left everyone realized they weren’t doing so well. Sugar and Ace took some time to forget about their food shortage by discussing the idol. Somehow Ace knew that the others found Sugar’s idol and told her about it. She then said she would give it to Ace, for “safe keeping” and in reality handing over her safety to the devil. He didn’t try to dissuade her so she handed it over, it sure didn’t last long though!

Could Dan be the worst player of Big Brother history yet still be one of the best? His methods this season have been odd and tonight we saw just how crazy America’s Ex-Player can be. Following April’s eviction on Thursday the remaining players jumped onto a vine and started swinging for the Head of Household. After being whipped into a padded wall, several of the players were knocked out of the challenge leaving two to make the strangest deal in Big Brother history. After Jerry fell down only five remained and an all out water balloon fight was held. Michelle and Dan took the brunt of the hits but it hindered neither performance. Only an hour after Jerry’s drop, Keesha fell followed a few hours later by Michelle whose leg got caught in the netting. That left three guys in an endurance competition, odd isn’t it. Since ladies have ruled the endurance of Big Brother past it was different to see Memphis, Dan and Ollie still up on the vines.

After Memphis’ body gave out that left Dan and Ollie still hanging around. This left the two to battle it with their words and create a deal to decide who would win the HoH. Dan started up the conversation as he wanted to see his girlfriend Monica. Ollie wouldn’t give up with only that so Dan added a lot to the mix. After a few minutes passed Dan offered Ollie all the power of the HoH without the title. If Ollie dropped, giving Dan the win, Ollie would be able to keep Michelle safe, make one of Dan’s nominations and choose who goes up with the Power of Veto is used. Basically all Dan got to decide was one of the nominees and he got to see his girlfriend. It was a stupid move for Dan to make but it was all in the scheme of his ‘I’m a weak player’ strategy.

Following Dan’s drop from the vine his alliance started talking and realized a deal was made. It was making Memphis, Renny and Keesha very paranoid as they knew that Ollie was at least safe. Keesha also thought she heard Dan say that another person could be safe and also a little about Ollie making one nomination. They weren’t for certain but just the idea of a crazy deal made them worry. Ollie wasn’t too upset though as he told his deal to Michelle. She was excited as well and the two became a strong pair at that very moment.

Up in Dan’s Head of Household room it was all about Monica. Not only did he get a letter from her but she also sent him a shirt that says ‘Taken’. During the time Dan read his letter from Monica he gave his housemates a show. He says his tears and emotions during the letter read were all for show and at least Renny fell for it. When everyone left the room Dan let us know that it was all about the game now even though it was nice to see his family and girlfriend. One interesting thing to mention here is something from the live feeds. After seeing Monica’s picture, Ollie mentioned that he saw her during casting. Rumor has it that Monica was supposed to be in the house with Dan but she pulled out. If that IS the case the others may hold that against Dan, even if she isn’t in the house now.

A little bit later Ollie went up to Dan to talk about the deal. Dan is one of those players that talks to “us” through the camera and it’s actually interesting as we get live input to his thoughts as they happen. When Ollie walked in it was all about who was going up on the block and his choice was Memphis. Dan didn’t try to sway him from that and it was time for him to reveal his deal with his one true alliance: Memphis. When Memphis heard that Dan might be putting him up he wasn’t too happy. He said that he would never put Dan on the block but Dan realized he had to secure the votes before actually going through with it. After calling both Keesha and Renny into his HoH room, Dan created another alliance with them. He wanted to include Memphis but Renny backed down for a bit until Dan said they would only use Memphis for now. After that Renny agreed to the deal and a new final three alliance was born. The name is still pending as of now.

Before the nominations Memphis took one last stab at keeping himself off the block. He didn’t understand why his final two ally would go against him and nominate him but Dan used it as a way to hide their alliance. It’s a well known fact that the two are aligned so I don’t get Dan’s thinking but if it calms Memphis down I guess it’s good for now. Up in the HoH Dan once again talked out loud about his ideas. He went back and forth on keeping and breaking his deal with Ollie. He knew that nominated Memphis was a huge risk but he went with it anyway, keeping his deal with Ollie…. for now. With Jerry and Memphis nominated it’s going to be an interesting Power of Veto as both have proven that they can win it. How will the Power of Veto change the game and will Dan stick to his word if it is used? Tune in Tuesday to find it! It’s going to be good!

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!

Last week on Paradise Hotel Tanya left the game, leaving Mikey without his girlfriend and the originals (OGs) in a state of weakness. That drama continued first thing tonight as everyone realized Tanya was gone. Mikey was hit the hardest as Myrna, his new roommate who was the same girl who sent Tanya home, locked him out of his own room. She said she was scared of what he might do or say, but that’s her own fault. The rest of the OGs weren’t happy with the decision of Tanya going either. All said that Myrna was now enemy number one and wanted her out first chance they got.

The next day a new arrival stepped foot into Paradise…. kind of. Zack, who was on the first season of Paradise Hotel, is the new arrival for season 2 and is also the last person entering the game. If you’ve seen the first season you know that Zack is very explosive. He was kicked out for saying he would beat up another guy on the show. Zack also fell in love on the first season. He was on the “Tanya” end of things with Amy as a new guy sent him packing as Myrna sent Tanya packing. I never expected to see anyone from the first season turn up again, besides Toni maybe, and Zack returning will surely stir up the pot.

With the game completely split down the middle it’s obvious that Zack will decide which group moves on to the “grand prize”. He seemed to gravitate more towards the originals, maybe because he was once one himself. He seemed to click well with Mike after reading Tanya’s letter. She let him know how close her and Mike was and it seems like Zack came in with perfect timing. Both he and Mike felt similar feelings on Paradise Hotel so they will obviously have a bond. The question is will that bond turn into some sort of alliance, we shall wait and see.

Since we are getting close to the end the people at Paradise let the guests out on a little trip. The guys were sent on a deep sea fishing trip while the girls got almost everything waxed. Now I can see how fishing is fun but how is waxing a reward? Maybe it’s a girl thing. On the guy’s trip they all let Zack know about the girls. Myrna was the one brought up the most and the OGs continued to work on Zack that she’s one to watch out for.

While the guests were lounging at the pool some interesting things happened. The OGs basically swarmed around Zack, not allowing any of the newbies to talk to him. This could be a plan of attack but it doesn’t seem that way. Zack could easily go and talk to the others himself but he just doesn’t seem to want to. It was then announced that the originals and newbies would split up and each have a separate dinner. I’m not sure if the show wanted Zack to finally have some time with the other group or if it was all planned out before hand. It was interesting to see Myrna put on the spot for once and told she’s very “valley girlish”. Zack told her to not put any makeup on or get dressed up for dinner but she didn’t care to listen. It then turned into a semi-fight so I assume anything between the two was quickly squashed.

After dinner everyone regathered for a good old game of “truth or dare”. That game can never lead to any good and it actually seemed to hurt the OGs a ton. Lauren was asked to pick the person she found most attractive and kiss them. Her and James have been close the entire season but she decided to pick Zack. James didn’t like this too much and retaliated by doing the same to Myrna. Lauren didn’t seem to care, which angered James more. It also set Zack up for a switch to the newbies as he realized he would never be safe with the OGs. It is smart what he’s thinking as Lauren and Krista would never select him over Mikey, James or Ryan. At the very end we saw the start of something new as Zack woke Chris up to tell him that he wants a final four deal with himself, Chris, Stephanie and TD. Should be an interesting next episode as it seems the Paradise Hotel casino is back up. If I remember correctly, that caused some drama last time around so who knows what it will bring this time.
