After three injuries and a family visits, the bulls take over the crew of America’s Toughest Jobs. Following Eric’s leave after a disastrous round in the oil rig, the remaining eight remained in Texas where they took on the fighting bulls. Nobody was excited to do the dangerous stunt as they would go head to head with rodeo fighting bulls. To start off their job the eight were pitted against a wheelbarrow with horns in it. It was supposed to simulate the actual bull they would be fighting but for some it was actually worse. Sandy and Steven took the bull right on, making good progress as usual. It was the normal bottom feeders that didn’t shine through and for one it could have cost them the game.

During their practice runs both Chris, Ben and Rie faltered. Chris rammed right into the wheelbarrow and felt just muscling the bull would keep him safe. Nobody really agreed with him so he felt the odd man out once again. Ben did something similar but simply stood still, letting the “bull” ram right into him. Rie was the one who took the hard hit as she couldn’t zig-zag enough away from the impending hit. She fell to her knees, pulling the one out of the socket and keeping her out of the practice run and ultimately giving her a huge disadvantage when it came to show time. Rie’s knee didn’t look that bad but her injury, and most likely fear of being in the ring with the bull, kept her from the practice round and almost kept her from performing at show time.

After 71 days of fun, drama, fights and twists, Big Brother 10 is now officially over with Dan claiming all 7 jury votes to win one of the best Big Brother seasons yet. The night started off with a well rounded recap of the entire summer. With Brian and his friends leaving first things looked bleak for Dan and Memphis, his two remaining friends, but when their alliance was born it ruled the entire game. Dan and Memphis worked everyone until the very end and that’s why that sat in the finals. Both played off of each other, keeping each other safe yet still playing for themselves. It all came down to the seven votes and the seven people they helped evict.

At the jury house everyone had an opinion on who they wanted to see. Libra wanted Jerry out but Renny didn’t even want to think of looking at him. Keesha wanted Memphis in the jury, for obvious reasons, while was very adamant about wanting Dan out. When Jerry walked through the door everyone was talking about him. Well rather bashing him. He didn’t catch the discussion though but most gave him a cold shoulder as they weren’t too thrilled he was back in their lives. All the girls on the jury had a very strong opinion on who should win. April battled for Memphis to win the money, simply because she hated that Dan got not only her but her boyfriend Ollie out as well. Keesha, Libra and Renny stuck to their guns for Dan and continually bashed Memphis. Renny said that Memphis didn’t play the game and she was in no way going to give him her vote. April basically said the same for Dan and continued on with her delusional self. Jerry seemed still upset with Dan but didn’t really give much of a reason. Michelle stayed rather quiet, other then telling Jerry about her trip with Dan. Ollie of course said hardly anything.

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!

After watching shows like Deadliest Catch and Ice Road Truckers it’s a wonder why anyone would want to take on America’s Toughest Jobs. People get hurt or possibly die on these shows but 13 tough men and women are taking on those jobs in hopes of winning a cash prize. On the premiere of America’s Toughest Jobs, the 13 shipped out Deadliest Catch style in the Alaskan bay. Their first job were as crab fisherman and they joined two ships as greenhorns aka deck hands.

The show started off unlike others as it jumped right into the thick of things without formally introducing the cast. Actually I have no clue what half of the casts names are and most of them weren’t even shown. Since the ships could only fit a small amount of workers, the 13 were split up into two teams with five working on one ship and the other six filling up the crew of another. As the ships set sail the host Josh let us know how the shows format would work. Each captain would choose the two weakest members on their ship. The four that were chosen as the weakest would then set sail once again to prove themselves. The two captains would then decide the weakest out of the four and that would be the person sent packing from the show.

Since it was hard to follow the two teams and get to know most of the people I’ll run down some memorable moments from the initial voyage. It seemed the girls were starting the show strong as both Michaela and Sandy were selected on the best on their corresponding ships. Michaela was chosen since she seemed to be the strongest and hardest working crew mate on her ship while Sandy, who had a rough start with sea sickness, picked up speed the second day and really showed that she wanted to be there.

There were also some close calls throughout the initial voyage. Ben was almost pulled off the boat thanks to his rope throwing error while Eric fell several times and seemed too hyper to understand anything. Amy was also having problems, along with Senta, as they both puked their guts out and just seemed too weak to even crunch the fish guts in order to bait the crabs. Amy also had a moment where she couldn’t bite the head of a fish off thanks to her allergy to fish. It was a ceremonial opening to the crabbing season and I have a feeling they used Amy’s allergy against her. Steven also had a bit of a problem on the boat but that was more him being lazy then anything.

When it was time to select the four weakest members of the crew: Senta, Amy, Steven and Eric were chosen for the second voyage. The others were safe and didn’t have to ship out again while the four chosen would go out for another day or two of the grueling job. Steven really pulled his weight this time, taking over for Michaela in a way. He moved the cages and really showed improvement, something the two captains noticed. Eric on the other hand was even more frazzled then his first go around. He almost swept himself off the boat, sat on top of the cage and stood behind it so many times that I lost count. Amy picked up her pace a bit but still didn’t show any sign of being stronger or better at the job. I’m really not sure why she wasn’t sent home but instead the captains chose Senta as the weakest. They said she didn’t show any strength and slowed down too much to stay in the game. Sadly I disagree with the captains, as atleast from what they shown, Senta was pulling her weight and didn’t make any mistakes. Unlike Amy and Eric who were even worse their second time around, Senta improved but sadly she had to be sent packing.

Big Brother is known for it’s explosive arguments this season and I think after the HoH was won there won’t be a dry spell anytime soon. Following Jerry’s very crazy Power of Veto speech nobody was happy with him. Everyone from Memphis to Michelle felt Jerry went out of his way to belittle Dan, calling him “Judas”. Dan couldn’t have been more thrilled though as he felt it helped his game. He knew everyone was angry with Jerry now and the target was moving off of himself.

Although Libra felt dead in the water, Keesha somewhat buried herself a bit by getting in a fight with April. She and Ollie wanted to switch up the game since April felt Keesha was jealous of her looks. This left Ollie to go to Libra about using their votes plus Jerry’s to keep her in the game. She only needed to get Dan to vote for her and that was the issue. The problem came when Memphis offered Dan an alliance called the “renegades”. It would consist of the two of them plus Keesha and Renny. They felt they should keep their alliance separate from the girls but string them along as far as they could. When Libra talked to Dan about being the swing vote he couldn’t give her a yes or no and she accepted that. Dan wavered on his vote but still seemed set on voting Libra out with his new alliance.

For the interview from home we finally got to see Libra’s husband talk about the “issue” of her leaving her twins. This means BB is betting on Libra going, since most who get a chat from home are mostly likely on the bubble to leave. In his chat Libra’s husband let us know she is a great mother and that his mother in law helps him with Libra’s children. They then played the Michelle freak out for him and he was obviously shaken by it. He didn’t like the way she talked about Libra taking the trip and that her children should be taken away. Although he knew she was strong he felt she was there for the right reasons, hopefully putting her critics to rest.

When it came time to talk to the houseguests Julie focused on the Dan/Jerry fight. Dan joked about it saying that Jerry should call him “Mr. Judas” while Jerry was still angry about Dan (America) voting Jessie out. When Julie talked to HoH Michelle alone she let us know that she wants her parents to be proud. She also talked about being friends with April and how it’s basically for the game at the moment.

Julie then returned back downstairs to administer the live vote. Although some were wavering it was obvious that Libra would go, and she knew it. With 6 - 0 votes, Libra walked out of the house in a good mood and saying that she had “fun”. It’s sad to see Libra go as she brought much drama to the house but the new HoH should do the very same.

During the HoH the houseuguests were given quotes from the diary room made by Brian, Steven, Angie and Jessie. The first person to buzz in would get to say who said the quote, if they were correct they could eliminate someone from the Head of Household. If they were incorrect, they would be out of the challenge. Renny got the first question right and kicked April out. Next up was Dan who also got his correct and booted Jerry from winning. Ollie, Memphis and Dan then answered incorrectly, kicking themselves out of the competition. That left best friends Keesha and Renny. Renny buzzed in last and correctly answered Brian. That gave Renny her first HoH win and shifted the power once again. Who will she put up? It’s going to be an interesting one and another one for the books I’m sure!

It was a rather slow night for Big Brother 10 but that didn’t mean it would be fight-less! Following the nominations the two nominees, Libra and Keesha, filled us in that they already knew they would be up. Dan thought he would go up and was happy to be safe and Jerry dropped a small bomb, saying the only way Dan could justify voting out Jessie is if he was America’s Player. Whoops! That was the case. I bet Jerry will regret all the “Judas” talk when he gets out of the house.

In the Hippy Room Libra and Keesha rallied their troops: Dan and Renny and let them know that everything was ok. Neither of the girls wanted to campaign but agreed that April had to leave. They believe she’s the reason they are being targeted and both promised to get her out if they stayed. In the HoH room Keesha talked a bit with Michelle where she did some Libra bashing. Michelle thought Libra was the one who rallied for Jessie go to but in reality it was Keesha. Following their chat the Power of Veto players were selected. Playing with Michelle, Libra and Keesha would be Memphis, Jerry and April. Not looking too good for the two nominees now is it?

Knowing he was in the PoV Jerry realized he could have some power. He wanted Michelle to put Dan up on the block since he wants him out so badly and Michelle seemed to agree. April, on the other hand, wanted Libra out badly and was happy she didn’t have to be “fake” to them anymore. She’s FINALLY admitting to being fake!

The night before the PoV Dan and Memphis decided to give Renny, Libra and Keesha their own wake up call. They put on masks and busted into their bedroom. At first they screamed but it quickly turned to laughter. Little did they know the PoV wouldn’t be so much fun as it would actually make them cry! What they had to do was chop onions and put them in a box. The person with the most onions, in pounds, would win the Power of Veto. They could also go for a reward if they didn’t want to win the Veto.

When it all came down to it, Memphis and April won the mystery prizes. Memphis chose the first envelope and won a dud: an onion necklace. April, in return, won five designer outfits which would turn up a little later. It was then down to the winner of the PoV and it once again came down to Jerry and Libra. One needed the power to stay while the other needed it to possibly change up the game. After weighing both of their onions, Jerry had about 5 pounds more, giving him his second Power of Veto. Could Jerry be the new Veto King?

Since he actually did win the PoV Jerry wanted to put his plan in motion to put Dan on the block. Michelle wasn’t too thrilled this time around but told Jerry to do what he wanted. Later that night the houseguests were treated to a feast, thanks to the food competition. It started off nice as each player said something nice about or to the group. During the “we love yous” Keesha mentioned how she feels her and April could make up, and jokingly said April should share her designer dresses. Libra then made a comment saying that’s the only reason Keesha was being nice to April, I’ll get back to that a little later.

Libra wasn’t done there as she pulled Ollie to the side. Earlier he called her a scallywag and a ho and she was upset. Ollie told her that he was sorry and Libra pulled a crucial move by telling Ollie that Keesha was the one who got the votes for Jessie to go. Upstairs in the HoH Michelle told Keesha about Libra’s “only for the outfits” statement. Keesha wasn’t too happy about it so Michelle pulled April and Libra into the mix. The four girls, once again, fought it out. Each yelled out the other three at least once and it all ended with Keesha leaving the room. That didn’t sit well with Michelle who followed out the room, only to fight a little bit more.

Although the fight went down the night before between the girls, Jerry was the one with the power. Although he didn’t use the PoV he did create a stir with his “anti-Dan” statements and calling him Judas. Nobody liked the fact that Jerry called it “his house” and used his time to bash someone else and their religion. Thursday night should be a fun one as the two girls still have some time to cry for votes. Who will be the one sent packing and how will the power shift again? See you on Thursday!
