Two blindsides in a row? Survivor Gabon just might be shaping up to continue the crazy status that Micronesia left it with. After the last episode where both tribes went to Tribal Council everyone was expecting the merge. Kota, after finally going to Tribal Council, was still somewhat considering who to vote out. Randy mentioned how it was hard that Dan went which made Susie laugh a bit. He was agitated that she would laugh and almost hoped she would have went. Believing they would merge the next round Marcus told Susie that she couldn’t swap on them. Corinne then had to speak up about Susie wanting to vote for her. At the last tribal Susie told Jeff that Corinne was the weakest. Corinne then went into crazy mode and claimed there was no way Susie was better then her in any way. Susie didn’t care though, she thinks she has power apparently. She can’t be anywhere closer to the truth that’s for sure.
Over at Fang things were normal as if they’ve gone to Tribal Council before! Matty was shocked that Ace was sent home and told them all they are officially Survivors. He also brought up the idea that he would probably go next since they all voted together but they ensured him he wouldn’t. Sugar then mentioned, in confessional, that she trusts Kenny more then she trusted Ace. Little does she know Kenny was the one lieing and as the night ended they all hoped for their merge and their feast the next day. Back over on Kota Corinne continued her Susie bashing as they went to find their “merge” tree mail. Before they read it Corinne continued her crazy as she wanted to bury Susie alive……. seriouslly does anyone else she needs to be taken out for psycho reasons? They then learned it was time to go to the beach with their personal items. Merge? So they thought but we would soon find out that wasn’t the case.
After controlling the last four eliminations on I Love Money, the four blondes were forced to turn against each other. Before the Pay Master challenge everything was fine between Brandi, Megan, Pumpkin and Toastee as they continued to ride the “we are weak” bandwagon. On the other side of the alliance spectrum were Hoopz and Real who were getting closer. Well I guess you could say Real was getting closer to Hoopz. See she has a boyfriend at home, which I don’t think Real knows about. He sure will a little later though!
At the Pay Master challenge the remaining eight were tasked to hold onto a dangling stripper pole. The last person on the pole would become the Pay Master and another twist was brought in. The first person to drop from the pole would be eliminated immediately from the game. That put the stakes even higher as nobody wanted to go home. As the challenge began the three guys all had trouble. The Entertainer was the first to drop though, sending himself home and back to his parents. The remainder of the guys, Whiteboy and Real then dropped leaving the five girls still hanging on. After Brandi, Pumpkin and finally Toastee fell it was down to Megan and Hoopz. Hoopz wanted to give it to Megan as she knew she would keep her but after hanging on for a few more minutes, Hoopz made a deal to keep Megan which gave Hoopz the title of Pay Master.
The first live eviction of Big Brother 10 went off without a hitch having a few firsts for the new format of the show. Not only did the live audience return but the first ever socket puppet show was performed making it a fun yet dramatic episode. It all started off following the nomination of Brian following Jessie’s leave with the PoV. This meant either Brian or Renny would go with the most likely scenario being Brian. He immediately went up to Jerry to find out what happened and learned that Ollie jumped ship. Jerry told him that Ollie was the one who brought everyone up to the room and Brian was NOT happy about that.
That night Brian pulled his “bro” Dan and “ex-bro” Ollie into his sofa, which he’s spent countless hours on on the feeds, and got down to business. He asked Ollie what went down and he basically told him that it was more a house decision rather then his which is kind of a lie. Dan didn’t take too well to that as he realizes he’ll have a hard time lieing in the house because of his morals. I for see Dan going soon, thanks to Ollie, as they are now the battling bible boys.
With Ollie now the leader it seems that April isn’t too mad at him anymore. She easily kissed him and even asked him for it. Both said they are just playing the other so it will be interesting to see who turns on the other first. April wasn’t only with Ollie though as her and the two girls, Libra and Keesha, realized they will be seen as a target. Brian saw that as well and wanted to turn the two on each other. He used Angie to do so and that little event ended up with another meltdown right before the votes were to be cast.
Knowing he was probably going home Brian came up with a rather interesting scheme to stay. He wanted people to realize he’s fun in the house and vote for him to stay for that reason. The now famous puppet show was then shown and seemed more boring on TV then it was in real life. I’m not sure why they edited it the way they did, leaving out most of the good parts, and a laugh track from the live audience would have been nice as well. Following the puppet show it seemed that Brian’s plan worked. Steven and Angie both said they felt Brian leaving would remove some fun from the house and this put Angie to work. She told Keesha that there was a possibility that Brian could stay if she voted for him. Little did Angie know, April was watching a few feet away and later that night let everyone know that Keesha was playing both sides.
Outside by the pool table, where most of the fights seem to begin, April was talking to Ollie and a few other guys about how Keesha was jumping ship to be with Angie. Keesha knew what was going on and didn’t take it too lightly. April then sprang up and moved towards Keesha but was held back by Ollie and pulled into the house. After doing so she told Renny she may be going and hated that Keesha switched on them. Outside Keesha was letting loose about April. Swearing left and right and saying how she couldn’t stand to be around her. Everyone saw the fight and I’m glad that CBS included it even though it happened last night. It’s a big deal and could possibly change the direction of the game.
Following the fight we went live to chat with the house. Julie told to Jessie first who said that he still doesn’t like Renny has she shows him no respect. Renny then said the same thing and told Jessie, once again, that he has some growing up to do and he should do what he says. Libra was the only other house guest to talk to Julie and she was asked a rather interesting question. It was about her leaving her five month old kids to be in the house. Libra told America that they don’t know her situation and she’s doing it for her family. She’s reminding me more and more of Daniele every day. Up in his HoH bedroom Jerry talked openly to Julie. He told her about how his military background will play into the game and how he was forced to put Brian up. Nothing much else came from that so it was time for the eviciton.
I’m surprised they did a live vote but the did and it turned out rather well. Both Renny and Brian asked to stay yet we all knew who was going. Once all the votes were cast Brian was sent packing by a vote of 9 to 1. Only Dan voted to keep him in and Brian exited the house to a live audience. It seemed thrilling to see the audience react to his leave but to be honest the live audience didn’t add much else other then clapping. When he talked to Julie, Brian seemed in good spirits. He says that Memphis will be the winner if he plays his cards right so we shall see!
For the first real HoH was had a familiar beginning challenge. Everyone was asked a question where two of the houseguests would be a possible answer. Everyone would then choose one and the people who were in the minority would be removed from the challenge. In the end four people remained: Libra, Ollie, Jessie and Steven. They were asked how many pillows were on the bed in the start of the Power of Veto challenge and Jessie came closest without going over. Making him the official challenge threat of the game as he’s won the only two they’ve had so far.
