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 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.
The night began with the promise of a houseguest returning and that they did but NOT who we would ever have expected. It all began with the house wondering who to vote out. James going was the first idea as everyone promised Sharon that she would stay, although she was kind of freaking out about it.
Natalie and Sheila’s convo which we covered the other day was then showcased and made us believe that the vote was changing for Sharon to leave. They both felt that Sharon was a threat as she was quiet and was ‘playing Matty’ which Natalie didn’t like too much. The votes then
changed once again as Matt talked Natalie back into voting out James so his fate was almost sealed.
The evicted houseguests were then shown and let us know why they should return… kind of late. Jacob basically wanted to come back to see Sharon while Jen and Parker seemed to be getting along well. Alex and Amanda are still fighting it seems and both were blaming each other for losing. Allison was the one who wanted to come back the most and seemed ready to return as well.
We then saw the evictees live in the studio and Julie let us know that Alex would potentially be returning. She told Alex that he must go sit in a mystery box and those still in the house will vote for Alex to return as a ‘mystery person’ or for the newest evictee to return. I don’t think they realized this as first as they were so happy for Alex to return.
They quickly got to the eviction and James was evicted by 5 - 1. Chelsia was the only one to walk him to the door and she was visablly upset. When he got outside James was given a standard interview and a very heartfelt video from Chelsia. He was then told that he could return to the game and returned by saying he may “crap his pants”. Directly following this the housegeusts were given another dose of the buzzer and were shocked to learn they had to wait during the break for the news to hit them.
Live votes were then conducted for either the mystery box or James to return. Everyone went in and only Matt, Ryan and Sheila voted for the mystery box while everyone else voted for James to return. I was hoping for a tie since that would have been crazy and I have no idea what they would do, but alas James returned. It seems we were kind of denied our vote for Alex to return, and it was therefore kind of pointless but alas James returned and surprised everyone by jumping out of the box.
Everyone was then thrown into the HoH which SURPRISE was an endurance challenge. They are all standing on a little disk which is being spun around and lifted. The last person remaining on the disk will win the HoH so we will surely be in for a long night.
