Sorry for the lack of a Sunday night rehash but I was on vacation but it’s all back to normal now! Jumping right into things were Jessie and Michelle who were oddly calm after learning hat Jessie was going on the block. Jessie told April right away that he understood why she put him up and understood that he should be safe. Michelle was a little more annoyed though, claiming once again that the pawn always goes home. Memphis made a few comments about knowing he was going up but other then that he was his normal ‘in the shadows’ self.

After a quick stint in the diary room, Dan wasn’t too excited that America chose Jessie, of all people, to be hugged for at least 10 seconds. It wasn’t the hardest of tasks but it was sure entertaining! Dan moved quickly and created a plan to tell Jessie a sob story about his girlfriend. Um didn’t I see this somewhere before? Like maybe last summer? Dan told Jessie how he fears that Monica, his girlfriend, won’t be there when he gets out of the house. Jessie took it to heart and believed every word. In an ending move Dan hugged Jessie and didn’t let go for 17 seconds. He smirked as the clock passed the 10 second mark and it was a moment that makes America’s Player worth it, simply for Dan’s actions and remarks after he completed his task.

Later that night the houseguests were surprised with the PoV players being chosen. April, Memphis and Jessie were obviously playing along with Libra, Jerry and Michelle. April wasn’t too happy that Michelle was put in the mix and believed she was the only one who could win against them. When Libra entered the room April told her the problem and Libra didn’t like that too much. She thought that her alliance was counting her out and treating her like a weak link, since April didn’t think she could win the veto. This led another fight, about the millionth for the season, which included at least half the house on what should have been a very happy night: Keesha’s 30th birthday.

Downstairs Keesha and Libra complained, loudly I must say, about April and how she’s been treating them. Napping outside was Jessie who heard every single word, and some he only thought he heard. He immediately went upstairs to tell April what the two ladies were saying and that’s what set off the bomb. April immediately came downstairs and confronted the two. First Libra and April began to spat and yell but when Keesha tried to join the fray April brushed her off and said she would “deal with her later”. That didn’t sit well with Keesha and she went out to calm down and tell everyone else how much she hated Keesha. While that was going on Libra and April continued to argue and it finally came out that Jessie was the one who told April what they supposedly said. That’s where things got even more heated.

While everyone was in the kitchen waiting to sing Happy Birthday for Keesha; Libra, April and Jessie were arguing in the 80s bedroom. It seems to be the theme for most of the fights don’t you think? Libra and Jessie exchanged the most words with Keesha joining in for a bit. The two girls let Jessie know that what he said was all a lie and he never really did deny that he was lying. April sat in the middle of the argument and just kind of soaked things in. When everyone finally got calmed down enough to sing, Happy Birthday range out with the worst enthusiasm I ever heard! Following the song everyone sat in dead silence as they knew the fight wasn’t over. Keesha used the moment to culminate the arguement, it is her birthday don’t forget, and she had the last word as Jessie finally gave in and walked away. I must say, not since Chelsia has the house gone this insane. Good thing there were no easter eggs this time around!

Only a few hours after all the fun, or not so fun, it was time for the Power of Veto. Each round the six players would hit a hockey ball aiming at the center of a row. The person furthest from the center would be out and gain a prize. As more people went out they could either choose a previous prize that was won or keep what they just received. Memphis was out first, after almost taking Renny out with the hockey ball, and immediately won the Power of Veto. Next up was Michelle who very happily took a Hawaiian vacation, but that didn’t last too long. Jessie was out third and blamed his lost an the challenge again. Saying there really was no skill to it, seems he blames Big Brother for his losses but himself for his wins. He grabbed a Slop Special card but traded with Memphis for the PoV. With only April, Jerry and Libra left the PoV wouldn’t fall into enemy territory but the game went on.

With April going out fourth she won $10,000 that could be split however she pleased and kept it. With a perfect shot to the center, in the last round, Libra took home the winning trophy but it was Jerry who took home the Power of Veto. He asked April if she would split the money between himself, herself and Libra. She agreed so Jerry took the PoV from Jessie, giving Jessie a letter from home. In the winning trophy was the famous unitard worn by Jen and then Sheila. Libra didn’t want anything to do with it so she took the Hawaiian vacation from Michelle, setting her off more so then anything I’ve ever seen.

Following the Power of Veto competition Michelle ranting, in her very heated manner, that she won the shaft prize while everyone else got a prize. She felt Big Brother was making a fool out of her and threatened to quit. The fact that she had to wear the unitard didn’t sit well with her and she was taking it out by not showing her face in the DR. She eventually put it on but not before calling Libra a “whore”, “slut”, “skank”. Oh she also thinks Libra’s kids should be taken away since she took the vacation prize over a letter from home. She simply went crazy and claimed that’s her life story: always getting screwed.

Although Jerry won the veto many didn’t think he would use it and that’s what he did, he didn’t use the Power of Veto. This leaves both Memphis and Jessie on the block. It seems the house is split with the vote as Libra and Keesha want Jessie gone while April still wants Memphis out. It could be the end of the alliance as the two go against their HoH’s wishes but America, along with Dan, can shift the power by voting for who Dan should evict. Who do you want Dan to leave the house? Make sure to vote at CBS.com or texting your vote!

The Greatest American Dog was a show I was rather skeptical at first but it is actually pretty good. I’m a dog lover but the show just seemed a bit annoying to me with all the commercials and such. As the contestants began it was obvious that the combination of dog and man will cause some drama in the house. One contestant mentioned she can’t stand others touching her dog which should lead to some good fights! The range of breeds as well seems interesting as there are larger and smaller dogs alike. I’m not sure what type of challenges will be on the show but we will soon find out!

The first challenge then took place and we were introduced to the Dog Bone challenge. The winner would be given a lavish room along with the power to choose one team to live out in a Dog House for three days. Everyone wanted to be the first and had to play Doggy Musical Chairs in order to take home the win. Each round the owners led their dogs around a ring with several platforms in the middle. The one dog not sitting on a platform when the music stopped was out and the next round began. Several were quickly out and then it was down to two being JD and Galaxy along with Michael and Ezzie. Galaxy ended up sitting on the platform first and proved JD’s ability to train dogs. I mean he IS a dog trainer, which is a bit unfair to the others but still he did win and took home the first Dog Bone.

Although JD had the lavish room with Galaxy he also had to choose someone to live in the Dog House, aka a shach. He ended up choosing David and Elvis. David didn’t like it too much since he’s from NY and it isn’t “park avenue” but he’s stuck there for three days. Inside the house everyone wanted to see the Dog Bone room but JD was rather arrogant and didn’t want them to see it. He then gave in and let everyone in and they were all surprised and a bit jealous. They know JD is now a threat and retreated to David’s shack to help him cope with the small house. They all helped him out, probably realizing they will be in there sometime if they aren’t too lucky.

The next morning everyone was told to get ready for their first elimination challenge: talent show. Before they could start work on their acts thought they had to divide into three teams of four pairs each. On team Aloha was JD/Galaxy, Bill/Star, Laura/Preston and Teresa/Leroy. JD basically grabbed dogs he thought had the best chance to help him win and it’s obvious that he’s here to win. Team Disco Dogs consisted of Michael/Ezziee, Elan/Kenji, Laurie/Andrew and Ron/Tillman. The team was a bit out of control as Ezzie grabbed Tillman’s skateboard. It also seemed like the humans were doing most of the act rather then the dogs. The last group were those who were left being Travis/Presley, Brandy/Beacon, Beth Joy/Bella Starlet and David/Elvis. Their theme was high school days after having trouble making up a theme. Although they knew nobody else wanted them they decided to think of an amazing theme and hoped for the best.

It was then time for the Best In Show where the teams would perform their acts. In the end one of the teams would be sent out of the competition. Team Aloha was up first and seems somewhat out of sync but still their dogs performed rather well. The judges loved everyone on the team but did have some suggestions for Teresa and Leroy. Leroy was barking throughout the act and the one judge let Teresa know how to stop this. Bill and Star were also told that they seemed a bit nervous and the male judge, who sounds like Ben Stine, let them know its a fight between themselves, not about their colleagues.

Next up were the Bark Wag High team also known as the “we don’t want you” team. Their performance was mixed in a way where two of the dogs were great while two weren’t. Brandy was criticized for physically telling Beacon what to do as she didn’t perform any of her tricks. The other team who didn’t do so well were Beth Joy and Bella  Starlet. Althogh Bella performed her initial act, Beth coudln’t instruct her to jump around or to speak. It was a bit odd and the judges told both that they needed to do better or they could be going home.

The last group to go were the Disco Dogs who danced their way through the act. The only team who couldn’t pull through were Michael and Ezzie. The other three teams were great but Ezzie just wouldn’t follow directions. Michael was the leader for the act but Ezzie didn’t pull through. Michael blamed his work as the leader the reason he couldn’t work with Ezzie so much as he had to think of things to say and be the “ring leader”.

That then left the judges with the decision to expel someone from Canine Academy. The three teams who the judges felt were the weakest were: Brandy/Beacon, Beth Joy/Bella Starlet and Michael/Ezzie. Beth Joey and Bella were told they lost control and it was a disappointing performance. The judges felt that Michael’s performance overshadowed Ezzie’s while Brandy was told that she should never physically force her dog to do a trick. The judges then gave their decision on who should go and it was decided that Michael and Ezzie would be leaving Greatest American Dog. It was somewhat surprising as they were good for the show and Michael was a great character. Too bad his dog couldn’t keep up with him or else they would have been a great team.

It seems one reality show has gone a bit too far to push the “reality” out of reality tv. One a pilot reality show called “Pauper to Princess”, one producer Marc Brilleman was arrested for not allowing the contestants on the show, all women, to leave the house. Apparently the show is taking several woman and giving them a princess transformation somewhat like Charm School did. The event too place when four of the ladies wanted to leave the house for the weekend and were told they could not leave. Brilleman stood in front of the door and ended up locking it. The women couldn’t leave because of their contract, even though they were allowed to leave on previous weekends. One of the girls then escaped and called the police which led to Brilleman’s arrest. It’s kind of funny actually if you think about it and makes sense. We never really know if or how contestants on a show can leave on their free will to go as they please. The show hasn’t even been picked up by a network and I’m sure it now never will.
