Many knew it was coming and that it did, the Big Brother morph-o-matic returned once again toting six babies this time around. Only one could be called “cute” but otherwise the 13 houseguests of Big Brother 10 make some ugly kids! Following the nominations by Jerry of Keesha and Dan, things were looking up for both Memphis and Renny. With a final two with everyone BUT Renny, Memphis felt he was a shoe in for winning the game and I think he may still feel that way. Dan and Keesha also weren’t too worried about going home as they knew the Power of Veto played a pivotal role in how the round would be played out. Winning the PoV was the only sure bet on being safe and also could be the deciding factor of who went home.
Up in the HoH Dan took some time to talk to Jerry who realized the four were only being friendly since he was in power. Dan made sure Jerry knew he wasn’t upset for going on the block and both reiterated that the Power of Veto could and most likely would change the playing field. Renny seemed out of the loop that the PoV was so important this week so Jerry took the time to fill her in. Once she learned that she would be auto nominated if Memphis won the PoV, Renny became visibly upset and went straight to Keesha. Renny then went on and on about how she knows that she is the target and will probably be going this week. Keesha consoled her to her face, but in the Diary Room she let us know that Renny worrying was a bit annoying. Renny wasn’t even on the block, yet, so Keesha felt there was no point in complaining.
Following a quick break Big Brother actually showed Jerry’s now famous fall into the pool! I really didn’t think they would show it but since he didn’t get hurt I guess it’s fun to laugh at his expense. I mean he could have got electrocuted thanks to his mic pack, now that would have been great TV! Later that night Memphis took the time to secure his final two pack with Jerry, Keesha and then Dan. He told all three that he would go to the final two with them but said he still doesn’t know who he would take. Memphis isn’t playing a great visible game but if none of the three catch on, he could be sitting “very pretty” in the finals.
With the numbers dwindling BB had to show some past footage, making it look like it was recent. They pulled out the very funny moment of Dan copying Renny’s every move; followed by Renny strangling Renny. It was put into context this week though as Dan is using the annoyance tactic to get Renny off of her game. The annoyance culminated in the Hippie Room where the four were chatting. When the idea that Renny was worried about being nominated came up, Dan jumped on the opportunity. He egged it on that she probably would go on the block which set Renny off. As she exited the room she spanked Dan, followed by Dan saying “physical violence”. Renny stormed out of the room saying he deserved it and that she doesn’t care about a penalty nomination. Luckily Big Brother didn’t reprimand!
Later that night it was time for the Power of Veto competition, the famous morph-o-matic! This time around the players were morphed together into babies. Each of the five players had to guess who the father and mother were of the “baby”. Their faces were morphed together and placed on a babies body where the quickest to get all six correct would win the Power of Veto. When it came to time Renny did the worst. She didn’t realize a bald baby would have Jerry as the father and after trying every guy she finally got it correct. With 23 minutes and 32 seconds, Renny came in dead last and she sure wasn’t happy with herself about that. Jerry was up next with 8 minutes and 1 second. He didn’t have many problems either then the first kid who was an ugly April and Dan.
With only three left it was up to either Dan, Keesha or Memphis to win the Power of Veto. Since she walked SO slow during the competition, Keesha came in third with 5 minutes and 16 seconds. Although both Dan and Memphis did well and actually RAN (unlike Keesha) their times were rather close and only differed by 8 seconds. But only one could win and with 2 minutes and 50 seconds, Memphis took home the Power of Veto and put himself in an awkward position. He had a final two with both nominees and a deal with Jerry to not use the veto.
The day following the Power of Veto, Dan and Memphis talked about what should go down. Their Renegade alliance hanged in the balance and Memphis made Dan swear he would vote Renny out in order to use the Power of Veto. Memphis had two things he had to do though and that was make sure Keesha and Jerry were ok with it. Keesha didn’t seem too upset since Memphis kept saying they would be in the finals. Jerry was the one who had some problems with it as he wanted Dan out badly, but Memphis obviously won’t take Jerry so I doubt his opinion mattered.
Later that day it was time for the Power of Veto ceremony. Both Keesha and Renny both realized that Memphis would probably use the Power of Veto and nothing could be done to change that. In the living room Memphis did just that and saved Dan from the chopping block. This forced Jerry to put Renny on the block, since she was the only one eligible to go. That leaves the votes to both Memphis and Dan with Jerry breaking a tie if they vote opposite. It should be an interesting night come Thursday as either Keesha or Renny will be evicted. With only one “real” HoH left it’s a crucial one so all three will be fighting to win it. Plus tune in Thursday for a look in the jury house, who knows what type of drama has been going on there!
What a crazy night in the Big Brother house! Following the first eviction an entire round of Big Brother was played and one more houseguests was bounced from the game. Let’s start where last ended though and that was the Power of Veto ceremony. Immediately following the ceremony, everyone gathered outside to “discuss” Dan’s deal breaking move. Ollie and Michelle were both very heated and once Dan being a plant was brought up, Dan bolted. He didn’t want to be there while the bomb exploded and it was probably a smart move. We saw Ollie’s words with both Keesha and Memphis as he tried to put the idea of Dan being a plant into their heads. As Ollie left the backyard to go “talk” with Dan, we heard something not said on the feeds but I’m sure CBS made that move on purpose as it wasn’t something they could really show and get away with.
Up in the HoH Ollie continued his Dan bashing but this time to his face. He told Dan how he embarrassed him in front of millions, six million to be exact. Nothing really exciting came from the talk though has Ollie left rather early. As the four in power (Dan, Memphis, Keesha and Renny) gathered in the HoH we watched as they watched Ollie destroy the house. After throwing a lollipop against the wall, breaking a lamp outside and smashing the weight lifting bar to the ground, Ollie was called into the Diary Room but we really never found out what took place. He was probably revolting against Big Brother for Dan being a “plant” but I’m sure he’ll find out tonight that isn’t true. Following that little clip of Ollie trashing the house we saw one last ditch effort of Michelle trying to stay. She went up to Dan to discuss his move to put her up and it didn’t go so well. Dan told her it was Ollie’s fault for banking on her life in the game and that left us with one final rant from Michelle in the Diary Room. Too bad we won’t get those anymore as they were enteratining.
When the show returned to its LIVE status Julie revealed to the house that it was going to be a double eviction. She coined it “Big Brother Fast Forward” and everyone was kind of freaking out. Keesha took it the worst as she could hardly cast her vote while Ollie seemed excited for it. Since it was fast forward we got right into the voting for either Jerry or Michelle. After the four voters casted who they wanted to be evicted, Michelle was the first to walk out of the house with a vote of 3 to 1. She talked to Julie briefly and Julie revealed to her that Dan was a plant. I’m surprised that Big Brother did this as he kind of is a “plant” in a sense when it comes to his week of America’s Player. Michelle had some good moments during the interview and the crowd seemed to love her, laughing many times.
With Michelle gone it was immediately time for the next HoH. It was based on the voting America did on the Newspaper headlines. Seven headlines were given and the houseguests had to say which person America chose out of a possible two. It was a tight race and very intense with Keesha and Jerry tieing with four votes correct each. This put them in a tie breaker, not once but twice. In the end Keesha won the fast forward HoH and had to immediately put two people up on the block. It was an obvious choice as Ollie and Jerry became the next two nominated.
After a LONG commercial break the Power of Veto competition was played out live. What the houseguests had to do was run down a long run, jumping over haystacks. After doing that they had to dig through hay, searching for two Power of Veto disks. The first person to find both would win the Power of Veto and after a quick few minutes Dan won his second Power of Veto, keeping the power from the other side. In the live PoV ceremony Dan chose to NOT use the Power of Veto, forcing either Ollie or Jerry out of the game.
The second vote was up next and in a vote of 3 to 0, Ollie walked out of the house. He quickly bolted out of the house in the “fastest exit ever” and talked to Julie for a bit. He told her that April will be in his life for a long time and also he isn’t as mad at Dan as he seemed. It all came down to retribution from turning on Brian which really never came up until Ollie was evicted. After all that Julie revealed that the finale would be on Tuesday September 16th. Should be an interesting one but until then we still have five players left and many more days to go in the season of Big Brother 10.
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!
With the only showmance of the season gone Big Brother turns to its home stretch. Following the eye opening Power of Veto ceremony, the house was up in confusion about who offered Dan the money. April was upset that he would tell everyone while Jerry was upset that April would stoop that low for a vote. Michelle was really the only one wondering who, between April and Jerry, did the offering and when she confronted Dan he simply said it wasn’t meant that way. I don’t think they ever got to the bottom of the money question but the bribing sure didn’t end there.
When Ollie and April realized that they may be spending their last week together they went into game mode. Both targeted Michelle to start but she quickly shot them down, saying she would vote however the house voted. This led them, once again, to Dan. Ollie started off by saying how he would have two people not putting him on the block if they won HoH compared to Jerry who was only one person. April then got to Dan and let him know she would do anything for his vote, even throwing him a few gold bars. It’s a shame she would use the money to gain a vote from Dan after he basically revealed that she did earlier. Dan hinted that his mind was still not made up which seemed to set April at ease a bit atleast.
For the nights interview from home we finally got to see how April and Ollie’s family feel about their “showmance”. During the segment we saw the two discussing moving in together, which April says was a huge joke, but who knows. Ollie’s parents were up first and talked highly of their son. I still wonder if they REALLY know what’s going on in the house. Although his father didn’t know what a showmance was he said it was ok as long as it was real. April’s sister was happy for the couple as well, comparing Ollie to herself. The only time she disagreed with the relationship was when Ollie “fake” proposed. Her eyes lit up so fast you could hardly tell the difference between her and her twin April!
During the time Julie took to talk to the houseguests little was given out. The questions weren’t that hard hitting this week which was kind of disappointing. Showing a video to the houseguests of Ollie’s fear of birds was the only good thing that came from the segment which led into a very long Renny rant. Up in the HoH Julie hardly got any words in as Renny blabbed about her different sides and her mother and father. She also went on how she is against Memphis and always was. It was about 10 minutes and I’m sure the producers were freaking out, hoping she would stop to give them a break to go to the votes!
When Renny finally shut up long enough for the votes it was that time. April was evicted as suspected and walked out the door happy with only Ollie’s vote not cast for her. Outside she let Julie know that her and Ollie’s relationship is more of a friend them “romance” but they sure didn’t act that way in the house. The audience laughed when Julie mentioned starting a family and I’m sure April realized then that everyone knew her and Ollie’s not so hidden secret. April’s interview outside was actually one of the better ones this season and led us into probably one of the most entertaining endurance HoHs ever devised.
Out in the backyard all six players for the HoH sat on a round disk. They were themed as vines and when it started to rain it seemed that would be it. BUT there is SO much more to this challenge that makes it one of the most fun to watch. Every so often the vines swing back and actually swing the houseguests into a wall! It actually seems kind of fun but after awhile I assume there will be some brusing. If only Renny was in the mix it would be so much more fun to watch but atleast we have Jerry to make fun of! He’s already starting the “do you know how old I am” complaints!
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!
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!
