Last weeks Amazing Race 13 ended in India and this week did as well. Following the non-elimination leg all teams knew that someone was going home and the pressure was on for Ken and Tina especially. Leaving the pit stop the next morning the teams had to find an apartment building in New Deli that would give them their first task for the day. Nick and Starr landed at the Road Block first and read us the challenge. What one teammate had to do was run through an Indian festival, climb a latter, find a clue and return to their teammate. It sounds simple but oh was it crazy. The festival involved hurling colored powder and water at others, especially the racers. Each racer got pelted as they ran throughout the crowd and even some who weren’t doing the Road Block got painted as well!
Starr decided to do the Road Block for the siblings and she completed it rather quickly got surely got painted! As they read their clue one of the festival goers ran up to Nick and painted him with pink powder. They quickily left the area and were off to their next task. Toni/Dallas arrived next, beating out Kelly/Christy, and Dallas was able to quickily find the clue. He and Toni were then off to their next task at the Bird Hospital as well. Kelly and Christy arrived at the festival next and didn’t read their clue….. again. Kelly decided to do take the task, assuming that she had to run through the crowd and pull the clues one at a time and return to Christy. The task was actually to stay at the clues, find the right one and then return but by assuming she had to pull them one by one Kelly lost valuable time.
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.
After 12 weeks and 37 injuries its time for the three final performances on Celebrity Circus. Since last week four competed but it was time to drop down to three tonight and of course we would have to wait until the end to find out. Stacey obviously was the first to be told she’s through. We then learned that the judges would be choosing their performances for tonight so it should be interesting to see.
Before Stacey performed she let us know she’s upset about getting bad scores last week. The judges chose for her to do the bungees again and she wanted it to be better then before. Stacey’s act was once again a great one and she dazzled with her flips. This time she included the trapeze into her act which was said to make it harder then before. She nailed her final act her move to grab the trapeze with her feet the first time but the second not so much. Otherwise she had a good performance but her small fumble hurt her. The judges seemed to love her act even though she stumbled in the air. With three 8s Stacey didn’t have a great score but good enough for her at least!
Next we learned who the second person safe would be and that is Wee Man. Although he had a hard time the week before, last week saved him. The judges chose to give him the flying straps this week since he did well with the balancing act. Although he got a 7.7 last time on them he wanted to do better. With skateboard in to Wee Man took to the straps and flew around the circus ring with his fellow “bros”. They did a few handstands and other movements in the air which got mixed reviews from the judges. They loved his journey in the show and feel he could win simply because of that and his performance as well. Once his scores were in Week Man got three 8s, similar to Stacey making it a tough race between the two.
It was then time to reveal who would make the finals and who would go home. In the end Rachel was sent him (sadly) while Antonio made it into the finals. Rachel took some time to say her final words and she said she wouldn’t have changed a thing. She loved the acts she performed although they may have been silly. That crowns the final three and one of them will take home the win.
Antonio’s final act was the flying silk, his first act that he did. The first time he was told to connect with his partner better so that’s what he wanted to do this time. Although he didn’t do many moves in the beginning his act did turn out well and he may just have a chance to win. The judges felt he put all their suggestions together for the act and feel this was his best performance yet. The one British judge went kind of psycho over his performance, still kind of odd, but hey whatever. It was a good performance, like the other two, and all three have a good chance at winning. With three 10s Antonio goes into the finals with the best score of the night but he needs the votes as well to win.
So who will take home the win of Celebrity Circus? Wee Man, Stacey or Antonio? Leave a comment and let us know what you think!
