On the last Big Brother 10 Steven was evicted with best friend Keesha getting the HoH. I was right in my prediction that Keesha was seek revenge for Steven’s leave and oh did she ever. As we witnessed a recap of Steven walking out the door several houseguests gave their opinion of the eviction. Libra and Jessie both showed signs of happiness as their plan played out to the tee. On the other side of the fence were Angie and more notably Keesha. Both shared remorse for evicting a friend, that’s about all they have in common. The one interesting comment was made by Dan who continued his “weak player” scheme. I wasn’t happy to see Steven go but realized how well his strategy played out that he didn’t even receive a single vote.
Another recap was in store and this time it was for Keesha’s HoH win. Libra and April both jumped for joy when they realized “their girl” was in power. It’s obvious they get closer to Keesha when she can put them on the block, even though last week they secretly doubted her. Jessie and Renny were also happy for Keesha’s win but for different reasons. Jessie felt he could sway Keesha in any way he wanted while Renny was genuinely happy for her as they seemed to have formed a mother/daughter bond. The bond was so close, and became closer, after Keesha saw her HoH bedroom. Renny was the only one allowed to stay to read Keesha’s letter and the two shared a touching moment.
Sadly that moment didn’t last long as April, Libra and Ollie pounced on Keesha the first chance they got. They wanted to assure that Keesha was still part of the foursome and I think Keesha realized why they were being so nice. Although she may not fully trust them, Keesha realized she needed those four. When she told them she wouldn’t do what the house wanted they seemed to be ok with it. Keesha seemed to take the power to her head at times be saying how she held all the decisions in the house. Of course she does but making it that obvious is kind of risky in my opinion. One of the more interesting moves she made though was talking to Dan and letting him know he was safe. They didn’t really talk much before Keesha got HoH but as of now it seems they could have some sort of side deal going on.
In a move similar to Jessie last week, Keesha got cocky and decided to tell Memphis that Angie, his best friend, is going up. I was shocked she did this while Libra and April were in the room but it was her move to make. Memphis, being the good puppet he is, went and told Michelle, Jessie and Angie what Keesha’s plan was. They immediately realized that the plan to oust Dan, Renny or Jerry was out the door and made a plan to get Libra up instead. Although none of the four acted on it right away the time was about to come.
Before the food competition we were shown a few clips of Michelle being her Portuguese self. She proclaimed her love for pig everything and even told us a story about how a guy danced around with a dead pig. Little did she know she would inspire a food luxury for the next challenge which was 50s themed. In the backyard the group finally competed for a slop-free week. With the girls and guys split behind a wall, they were paired up to match socks of all things. Each round one guy and one “doll” would go onto a rotating record which housed a basket of socks. Each round the teams had to scream across the wall in hope of matching a sock with their partner. After matching they would hang the pair of socks on a number which corresponded to a random food item for the week. In the end Renny was the coo-koo of the competition, go figure, and was the only one to miss a pair with her partner Dan. The only interesting food they got for the week was pigs feet, which only Michelle celebrated for.
Following the food competition Ollie and April’s showmance was showed in a VERY PG version. They didn’t show any of the *cough* but did show them talking about love and how it correlates to road signs. While the two love birds got closer, Jessie took it upon himself to try and get his nominations for the week into the mind of Keesha. He knew Angie was going up, which Keesha told him straight out, but didn’t want that to happen. He had a very good reason too and that was getting Libra out. One thing of interest is Jessie’s new attempt for Libra going. Last week when he had the chance to do so he was too scared to make that move yet now he wants Keesha to do it for him. I’m not sure WHY she could put Libra up, knowing how close they are, so Jessie’s plan backfired right into his face.
At the nomination ceremony Keesha made it very clear that her nominations were personal. After having Michelle’s key pulled last, it was revealed that Jessie and Angie were nominated for eviction. Keesha said that Angie caused the fight a few weeks back between Keesha and April and didn’t give Steven any backup when he was on the block. Her reason for Jessie going was two things: 1) He put Steven up and he went and 2) She sees him as a threat. Overall Keesha had good reasons to put both Angie and Jessie up, even if they don’t see it that way. With that said and down, Tuesday’s episode should showcase two huge fights in the house along with the Power of Veto winner. Plus the eviction episodes now move to Thursday nights at 8pm where they belong! So stay tuned for that and more.

Big Brother is known for its sudden change in power and tonight is no different. Following the Power of Veto ceremony both Steven and Dan realized that one of them would surely be going home. Both took a different approach to stay with Dan staying quiet and Steven pushing people to vote in his corner. Steven made the first move by asking one side of the house to keep him in the game. That side just happened to be the one aligned with Keesha and it almost seemed like they were swinging is way and could vote for Steven to stay. Dan, on the other hand, stood with Jessie and Michelle and told both of them to let him know if he should start campaigning.
It was obvious that the house was now divided into three sections. The first is Libra, April, Ollie and Keesha hanging on by a thread. They are act like they are tight but there are cracks that have formed as the three girls can’t stand each other. The other side is more solidified being Angie, Michelle, Memphis and Jessie. While outside Angie let Memphis know she can’t stand Libra and April and it’s obvious there is about to be a battle between the two groups. Last by not least are the floaters who really have no loyalty to anyone at the moment. Renny, Jerry and Dan as of now have no set alliance and could really be the swing vote for the rest of the game. Winning HoH for one of them would surely pull them to a side and I await that to happen.
When it came time for Julie to pop up she had a few interesting questions for the houseguests. I’m really liking the live shows this year as Julie is doing a great job and this time around the live audience added much more to the show. After bringing up the Jerry/Libra fight, Julie turned to Ollie and April who were visibly nervous about talking about their “romance”. If you’ve been following the feeds you would know they’ve gotten very “close” and I think the producers wanted some chatter on that. But to their dismay neither April or Ollie revealed their actions to the house or the world but they did hint at least!
The first family package was then shown as the Renny and Jessie fight was brought up again. Both of their families were asked about not only their loved ones but how they saw their enemy as well. Renny’s family were very happy for their mom and also very against Jessie. Renny’s son continuously called Jessie a weasel but Jessie’s mother disagreed. She felt her son was great on the show and much more then a body, like he always says. It was interesting to see how the families took sides and for once stuck with their loved ones in the house. In previous seasons we’ve seen family members turn against their loved ones but this year it is a nice change of pace!
After a quick chat with Jessie it was time for Dan and Steven to give their possible final words. Dan was rather quick and basically said Sharon’s famous words, that if it was his time to go it was his time to go. Steven took a completely different route though, like he’s promised all week, and pulled a more humorous “Chelsia”. He quoted some fun sayings from the house and basically told everyone to “suck it” but in a more funny way. It was good to see the houseguests have fun on eviction night rather then blast out of the house in anger like some have in the past. When all the votes were cast it was unanimous for Steven to leave the house with a 9 to 0 vote. Not even his good friend Keesha could throw him a pity vote and he was out the door.
For the HoH competition the houseguests were treated to some scare tactics as aliens appeared several times behind the mirrors. April, Renny and Jessie saw the crazy ET like creatures and seemed more in shock then scared. Of course it was just a rubber alien with a green light shining on it but still rather humorous. The HoH wasn’t based on the alien sightings though but rather what they “abducted”. Several things were removed from the house and it was the houseguests job to remember which room and which items were removed.
To begin the challenge were Dan and April who were chosen as random. Dan buzzed in first and with a correct guess knocked April out of the HoH and chose Libra and Renny to compete next. With a wrong answer Renny took herself out and allowed Libra to choose Memphis and Angie to compete for the third question. After getting the answer right Memphis knocked out Angie and chose Keesha and Michelle to compete. Michelle took herself out and Keesha chose Libra and Dan. Libra made it through again taking out Dan, giving Keesha and Memphis a shot at the next question. Getting her first question right, Keesha took Memphis out of the game and forced Ollie and Libra to compete. Libra continued her streak and took out Ollie, pitting the final challenge for the HoH between herself and Keesha. After getting her last question wrong, Libra handed over the HoH to Keesha. This should be a VERY interesting week since Keesha is on the fence with her current alliance. Will she turn on the girls and Ollie or will she do their dirty work? Stay tuned to find out!
