It’s been awhile in the making but Big Brother 10 proved once again that a solid two person alliance can make it to the final two. With Dan and Memphis, the Renegades, sitting in the final two spot of the season it is now the third time in a row an alliance of two from the very start will win the game. On Tuesday night we saw Keesha walk out of the Big Brother house, furious as Memphis and giving Dan all the glory. Dan’s outburst as Keesha was elected against Memphis was just staged in hopes to throw Jerry off the Renegade trail. As the three were flying up in the sky for the endurance Head of Household, Dan and Memphis continued their “feud”. They wanted Jerry to think he was safe with both of them and he fell for the bait.
Although Jerry didn’t fall off the airplane on purpose, with only 10 minutes in Jerry’s plan tilted and he fell to the padded ground. He felt bad for not staying up longer but with the “feud” between Dan and Memphis he had a feeling both would take him now. Knowing Jerry wouldn’t last very long Dan and Memphis planned for Memphis to throw the HoH and give Dan the win. It did go according to plan but Memphis just took longer then expected to fall. That gave Dan the win for the first part of the HoH, pitting Memphis against Jerry in the second HoH “brawl”. Following the HoH Jerry realized that the feud could help him. Since he stuck with Memphis for a few rounds now he kind of hung around him but that just added to the “tension” between the two Renegades.
We are being treated to Survivor Ponderosa this season and it is proving to be very entertaining and a welcome gift since Survivor Live is no longer showing. This time we have three new clips. The first shows James and Erik entering Ponderosa and how the jury members react to Erik’s stupid move. In the second clip we see how Erik and James react to their second day in Ponderosa. They let us know what they think of going to tribal council and their thoughts on real food! In the last clip “Professor Ozzy” teaches us the ways of the coconuts. He starts by removing them from the trees then showing the proper way to open and eat a coconut.
Although James won’t be visiting Ponderosa just yet thanks to his hospital stay Alexis has and she brought some drama with her. Its no surprise that Ozzy isn’t too happy with her as is Jason. Alexis plows into Ponderosa claiming to have never lied and thinks she played an amazing game. Eliza doesn’t like that too well and let’s us know that. In the other two videos we see some perks about living in Ponderosa as it seems somewhat worth it to “drop” out of the game to enjoy the benefits of the jury house.
Big Brother 9 is quickly coming to an end and tonight we reached the second to last episode where the final two was crowned. The show began where the last left off as Adam, Ryan and Sheila were hanging on for dear life as a stream of water wanted to push them down a steep slope. As the challenge progressed we learned that Sheila almost drowned in Hawaii several years ago and she had a deep fear of water. It wasn’t that apparent though until she finally let go some 36 minutes into the endurance challenge. Knowing that he had to get back onto Ryan’s good side, Adam gave up as well giving Ryan the first win of the three part HoH.
It was then down to Sheila and Adam to compete in the second part of the HoH. It was a very interesting one and one of the best the series has had. What they had to do was spin in a giant hamster wheel to maneuver several balls through a maze on the inside of the wheel. These balls had names of the previous HoHs on them and they had to then align them in the order people on Head of Household. Through the power of editing it made it seem as Adam and Sheila both performed equally well in the challenge, although Sheila did stumble a few times. In the end Adam pulled out a victory beating Sheila by half of her time. This mean that Adam and Ryan would compete in the live final part of the HoH.
Before the last HoH and eviction could occur we were shown a glimpse of the past as I mentioned last night. They showed Adam telling Ryan that Sharon was the better person to evict, showing that Ryan did in fact know that Sharon was leaving. They also showed Adam promising Sheila and Ryan that he would go to the end with them. It was interesting to see since Ryan entered only as Sheila left and Adam switched gears just as fast.
Next up was the jury house which I was very excited to see. I wanted to know what Matt and Natalie were doing and it seems they are back to their old ways. Natalie still seems to like him but Matty is on the defense and still treating her bad. He did say in the HoH that he wanted to treat her better but it doesn’t seem like he’s using his current chance in the jury house to do so. Sheila then came in and everyone was surprised. They then watched the DVD of the latest events and something interesting happened. As they watched Sharon walk out the door someone caught Ryan and Adam gesture to each other. At that point they realized the two had been working together and were very tight for a long time now. It also pointed out to Sharon that Ryan did in fact know she was going last night.
It was then time for the last HoH to occurr and it was rather obvious who would win. Adam basically threw it to Ryan, knowing Ryan would take him. Although at some points it seemed as if Adam could have won, since he mistakenly chose the right answer, Ryan pulled through with a single point to take the last HoH. He then had to evict either Adam or Sheila and took the obvious route of sending Sheila packing. This then led into a string of tear drawn answers to Julie’s questions. Although Sheila does seem upset she should have realized that Ryan would have taken Adam. She even told Adam that Ryan would never take her so I’m not exactly sure where the tears came from. In the end Adam and Ryan are the final two that could have been predicted since Natalie left the game. One of them will take home the $500,000 and the other will soon learn he’s out of the job thanks to a comment he made that CBS exposed.
Memphis continued their “feud”. They wanted Jerry to think he was safe with both of them and he fell for the bait.
