After 71 days of fun, drama, fights and twists, Big Brother 10 is now officially over with Dan claiming all 7 jury votes to win one of the best Big Brother seasons yet. The night started off with a well rounded recap of the entire summer. With Brian and his friends leaving first things looked bleak for Dan and Memphis, his two remaining friends, but when their alliance was born it ruled the entire game. Dan and Memphis worked everyone until the very end and that’s why that sat in the finals. Both played off of each other, keeping each other safe yet still playing for themselves. It all came down to the seven votes and the seven people they helped evict.
At the jury house everyone had an opinion on who they wanted to see. Libra wanted Jerry out but Renny didn’t even want to think of looking at him. Keesha wanted Memphis in the jury, for obvious reasons, while was very adamant about wanting Dan out. When Jerry walked through the door everyone was talking about him. Well rather bashing him. He didn’t catch the discussion though but most gave him a cold shoulder as they weren’t too thrilled he was back in their lives. All the girls on the jury had a very strong opinion on who should win. April battled for Memphis to win the money, simply because she hated that Dan got not only her but her boyfriend Ollie out as well. Keesha, Libra and Renny stuck to their guns for Dan and continually bashed Memphis. Renny said that Memphis didn’t play the game and she was in no way going to give him her vote. April basically said the same for Dan and continued on with her delusional self. Jerry seemed still upset with Dan but didn’t really give much of a reason. Michelle stayed rather quiet, other then telling Jerry about her trip with Dan. Ollie of course said hardly anything.
Tonight one of the more dramatic eviction exits took place on Big Brother 10. With a fake secret message and some acting, it could change the way the game is played in the finals as alliances crumble all in a matter of minutes. Following the nominations last round of Jerry and Memphis, the Renegade alliance of Dan and Memphis were looking pretty well off. What the nominations did was split Keesha and Jerry to one of the Renegades, making the Power of Veto pretty much controllable no matter who won it. Keesha sided with Dan as she felt he would take her to the finals now that he didn’t put her him. Jerry continued to trust Memphis as the two were on the block together and now had a common enemy in Dan. Or so Jerry thought.
Later in the week Dan was given his trip, with Michelle, to a private beach. As he passed buy a gas station he noticed the price of $2.89. With “such a low price” Dan thought the economy was doing well…… he’ll be surprised when he gets out for good! As Dan flew across the ocean on the helicopter and worried how Michelle would react. She didn’t know who chose him and was shocked when she saw Dan jump from behind the helicopter. They both hugged and had a rather akward lunch but both seemed to have fun. Obviously Dan was grasping for a jury vote and actually asked Michelle if he has a chance at winning. Michelle wouldn’t really say and very little was spoken about the jury house. Michelle seemed to have fun and Dan may have won her over. We won’t know for sure until next Tuesday and that’s only if Dan is in the finals of course.
Many knew it was coming and that it did, the Big Brother morph-o-matic returned once again toting six babies this time around. Only one could be called “cute” but otherwise the 13 houseguests of Big Brother 10 make some ugly kids! Following the nominations by Jerry of Keesha and Dan, things were looking up for both Memphis and Renny. With a final two with everyone BUT Renny, Memphis felt he was a shoe in for winning the game and I think he may still feel that way. Dan and Keesha also weren’t too worried about going home as they knew the Power of Veto played a pivotal role in how the round would be played out. Winning the PoV was the only sure bet on being safe and also could be the deciding factor of who went home.
Up in the HoH Dan took some time to talk to Jerry who realized the four were only being friendly since he was in power. Dan made sure Jerry knew he wasn’t upset for going on the block and both reiterated that the Power of Veto could and most likely would change the playing field. Renny seemed out of the loop that the PoV was so important this week so Jerry took the time to fill her in. Once she learned that she would be auto nominated if Memphis won the PoV, Renny became visibly upset and went straight to Keesha. Renny then went on and on about how she knows that she is the target and will probably be going this week. Keesha consoled her to her face, but in the Diary Room she let us know that Renny worrying was a bit annoying. Renny wasn’t even on the block, yet, so Keesha felt there was no point in complaining.
Following a quick break Big Brother actually showed Jerry’s now famous fall into the pool! I really didn’t think they would show it but since he didn’t get hurt I guess it’s fun to laugh at his expense. I mean he could have got electrocuted thanks to his mic pack, now that would have been great TV! Later that night Memphis took the time to secure his final two pack with Jerry, Keesha and then Dan. He told all three that he would go to the final two with them but said he still doesn’t know who he would take. Memphis isn’t playing a great visible game but if none of the three catch on, he could be sitting “very pretty” in the finals.
With the numbers dwindling BB had to show some past footage, making it look like it was recent. They pulled out the very funny moment of Dan copying Renny’s every move; followed by Renny strangling Renny. It was put into context this week though as Dan is using the annoyance tactic to get Renny off of her game. The annoyance culminated in the Hippie Room where the four were chatting. When the idea that Renny was worried about being nominated came up, Dan jumped on the opportunity. He egged it on that she probably would go on the block which set Renny off. As she exited the room she spanked Dan, followed by Dan saying “physical violence”. Renny stormed out of the room saying he deserved it and that she doesn’t care about a penalty nomination. Luckily Big Brother didn’t reprimand!
Later that night it was time for the Power of Veto competition, the famous morph-o-matic! This time around the players were morphed together into babies. Each of the five players had to guess who the father and mother were of the “baby”. Their faces were morphed together and placed on a babies body where the quickest to get all six correct would win the Power of Veto. When it came to time Renny did the worst. She didn’t realize a bald baby would have Jerry as the father and after trying every guy she finally got it correct. With 23 minutes and 32 seconds, Renny came in dead last and she sure wasn’t happy with herself about that. Jerry was up next with 8 minutes and 1 second. He didn’t have many problems either then the first kid who was an ugly April and Dan.
With only three left it was up to either Dan, Keesha or Memphis to win the Power of Veto. Since she walked SO slow during the competition, Keesha came in third with 5 minutes and 16 seconds. Although both Dan and Memphis did well and actually RAN (unlike Keesha) their times were rather close and only differed by 8 seconds. But only one could win and with 2 minutes and 50 seconds, Memphis took home the Power of Veto and put himself in an awkward position. He had a final two with both nominees and a deal with Jerry to not use the veto.
The day following the Power of Veto, Dan and Memphis talked about what should go down. Their Renegade alliance hanged in the balance and Memphis made Dan swear he would vote Renny out in order to use the Power of Veto. Memphis had two things he had to do though and that was make sure Keesha and Jerry were ok with it. Keesha didn’t seem too upset since Memphis kept saying they would be in the finals. Jerry was the one who had some problems with it as he wanted Dan out badly, but Memphis obviously won’t take Jerry so I doubt his opinion mattered.
Later that day it was time for the Power of Veto ceremony. Both Keesha and Renny both realized that Memphis would probably use the Power of Veto and nothing could be done to change that. In the living room Memphis did just that and saved Dan from the chopping block. This forced Jerry to put Renny on the block, since she was the only one eligible to go. That leaves the votes to both Memphis and Dan with Jerry breaking a tie if they vote opposite. It should be an interesting night come Thursday as either Keesha or Renny will be evicted. With only one “real” HoH left it’s a crucial one so all three will be fighting to win it. Plus tune in Thursday for a look in the jury house, who knows what type of drama has been going on there!
What a crazy night in the Big Brother house! Following the first eviction an entire round of Big Brother was played and one more houseguests was bounced from the game. Let’s start where last ended though and that was the Power of Veto ceremony. Immediately following the ceremony, everyone gathered outside to “discuss” Dan’s deal breaking move. Ollie and Michelle were both very heated and once Dan being a plant was brought up, Dan bolted. He didn’t want to be there while the bomb exploded and it was probably a smart move. We saw Ollie’s words with both Keesha and Memphis as he tried to put the idea of Dan being a plant into their heads. As Ollie left the backyard to go “talk” with Dan, we heard something not said on the feeds but I’m sure CBS made that move on purpose as it wasn’t something they could really show and get away with.
Up in the HoH Ollie continued his Dan bashing but this time to his face. He told Dan how he embarrassed him in front of millions, six million to be exact. Nothing really exciting came from the talk though has Ollie left rather early. As the four in power (Dan, Memphis, Keesha and Renny) gathered in the HoH we watched as they watched Ollie destroy the house. After throwing a lollipop against the wall, breaking a lamp outside and smashing the weight lifting bar to the ground, Ollie was called into the Diary Room but we really never found out what took place. He was probably revolting against Big Brother for Dan being a “plant” but I’m sure he’ll find out tonight that isn’t true. Following that little clip of Ollie trashing the house we saw one last ditch effort of Michelle trying to stay. She went up to Dan to discuss his move to put her up and it didn’t go so well. Dan told her it was Ollie’s fault for banking on her life in the game and that left us with one final rant from Michelle in the Diary Room. Too bad we won’t get those anymore as they were enteratining.
When the show returned to its LIVE status Julie revealed to the house that it was going to be a double eviction. She coined it “Big Brother Fast Forward” and everyone was kind of freaking out. Keesha took it the worst as she could hardly cast her vote while Ollie seemed excited for it. Since it was fast forward we got right into the voting for either Jerry or Michelle. After the four voters casted who they wanted to be evicted, Michelle was the first to walk out of the house with a vote of 3 to 1. She talked to Julie briefly and Julie revealed to her that Dan was a plant. I’m surprised that Big Brother did this as he kind of is a “plant” in a sense when it comes to his week of America’s Player. Michelle had some good moments during the interview and the crowd seemed to love her, laughing many times.
With Michelle gone it was immediately time for the next HoH. It was based on the voting America did on the Newspaper headlines. Seven headlines were given and the houseguests had to say which person America chose out of a possible two. It was a tight race and very intense with Keesha and Jerry tieing with four votes correct each. This put them in a tie breaker, not once but twice. In the end Keesha won the fast forward HoH and had to immediately put two people up on the block. It was an obvious choice as Ollie and Jerry became the next two nominated.
After a LONG commercial break the Power of Veto competition was played out live. What the houseguests had to do was run down a long run, jumping over haystacks. After doing that they had to dig through hay, searching for two Power of Veto disks. The first person to find both would win the Power of Veto and after a quick few minutes Dan won his second Power of Veto, keeping the power from the other side. In the live PoV ceremony Dan chose to NOT use the Power of Veto, forcing either Ollie or Jerry out of the game.
The second vote was up next and in a vote of 3 to 0, Ollie walked out of the house. He quickly bolted out of the house in the “fastest exit ever” and talked to Julie for a bit. He told her that April will be in his life for a long time and also he isn’t as mad at Dan as he seemed. It all came down to retribution from turning on Brian which really never came up until Ollie was evicted. After all that Julie revealed that the finale would be on Tuesday September 16th. Should be an interesting one but until then we still have five players left and many more days to go in the season of Big Brother 10.
Could Dan be the worst player of Big Brother history yet still be one of the best? His methods this season have been odd and tonight we saw just how crazy America’s Ex-Player can be. Following April’s eviction on Thursday the remaining players jumped onto a vine and started swinging for the Head of Household. After being whipped into a padded wall, several of the players were knocked out of the challenge leaving two to make the strangest deal in Big Brother history. After Jerry fell down only five remained and an all out water balloon fight was held. Michelle and Dan took the brunt of the hits but it hindered neither performance. Only an hour after Jerry’s drop, Keesha fell followed a few hours later by Michelle whose leg got caught in the netting. That left three guys in an endurance competition, odd isn’t it. Since ladies have ruled the endurance of Big Brother past it was different to see Memphis, Dan and Ollie still up on the vines.
After Memphis’ body gave out that left Dan and Ollie still hanging around. This left the two to battle it with their words and create a deal to decide who would win the HoH. Dan started up the conversation as he wanted to see his girlfriend Monica. Ollie wouldn’t give up with only that so Dan added a lot to the mix. After a few minutes passed Dan offered Ollie all the power of the HoH without the title. If Ollie dropped, giving Dan the win, Ollie would be able to keep Michelle safe, make one of Dan’s nominations and choose who goes up with the Power of Veto is used. Basically all Dan got to decide was one of the nominees and he got to see his girlfriend. It was a stupid move for Dan to make but it was all in the scheme of his ‘I’m a weak player’ strategy.
Following Dan’s drop from the vine his alliance started talking and realized a deal was made. It was making Memphis, Renny and Keesha very paranoid as they knew that Ollie was at least safe. Keesha also thought she heard Dan say that another person could be safe and also a little about Ollie making one nomination. They weren’t for certain but just the idea of a crazy deal made them worry. Ollie wasn’t too upset though as he told his deal to Michelle. She was excited as well and the two became a strong pair at that very moment.
Up in Dan’s Head of Household room it was all about Monica. Not only did he get a letter from her but she also sent him a shirt that says ‘Taken’. During the time Dan read his letter from Monica he gave his housemates a show. He says his tears and emotions during the letter read were all for show and at least Renny fell for it. When everyone left the room Dan let us know that it was all about the game now even though it was nice to see his family and girlfriend. One interesting thing to mention here is something from the live feeds. After seeing Monica’s picture, Ollie mentioned that he saw her during casting. Rumor has it that Monica was supposed to be in the house with Dan but she pulled out. If that IS the case the others may hold that against Dan, even if she isn’t in the house now.
A little bit later Ollie went up to Dan to talk about the deal. Dan is one of those players that talks to “us” through the camera and it’s actually interesting as we get live input to his thoughts as they happen. When Ollie walked in it was all about who was going up on the block and his choice was Memphis. Dan didn’t try to sway him from that and it was time for him to reveal his deal with his one true alliance: Memphis. When Memphis heard that Dan might be putting him up he wasn’t too happy. He said that he would never put Dan on the block but Dan realized he had to secure the votes before actually going through with it. After calling both Keesha and Renny into his HoH room, Dan created another alliance with them. He wanted to include Memphis but Renny backed down for a bit until Dan said they would only use Memphis for now. After that Renny agreed to the deal and a new final three alliance was born. The name is still pending as of now.
Before the nominations Memphis took one last stab at keeping himself off the block. He didn’t understand why his final two ally would go against him and nominate him but Dan used it as a way to hide their alliance. It’s a well known fact that the two are aligned so I don’t get Dan’s thinking but if it calms Memphis down I guess it’s good for now. Up in the HoH Dan once again talked out loud about his ideas. He went back and forth on keeping and breaking his deal with Ollie. He knew that nominated Memphis was a huge risk but he went with it anyway, keeping his deal with Ollie…. for now. With Jerry and Memphis nominated it’s going to be an interesting Power of Veto as both have proven that they can win it. How will the Power of Veto change the game and will Dan stick to his word if it is used? Tune in Tuesday to find it! It’s going to be good!
Following the nomination of April and Jerry by Renny last Sunday I thought April would be fine while Jerry would go around screaming about it. The polar opposite seemed to happen though as Jerry was generally ok with being up on the block and April not so happy. She knew she was going up yet she acted so upset, it just doesn’t make any sense. Although she did claim it to be a “show” to look weak, I honestly think April realizes she’s probably going out the door come Thursday.
Half of Renny’s nominations were expected by her alliance but Dan, Keesha and Memphis didn’t understand why Ollie was not up on the block. All three feel she has some sort of alliance with Ollie now and don’t feel safe if the Power of Veto is used. While that group was confused Ollie and April were arguing. It was their “first fight” as a showmance and it’s all because Ollie didn’t comfort April enough. He wasn’t happy with how she was putting on a show but the fight quickly ended.
Downstairs in the 80’s/90’s room Jerry was showing his age. The guy was talking to himself! Seriously, he’s going even more crazy in there then I expected but I guess being the oldest guy can’t be easy. Still, he’s still annoying and probably the most crazy there right about now. When it was time to pick the Power of Veto players nobody, but April, wanted Ollie in the mix. Of course it didn’t go down that way though as Renny, April, Jerry, Dan, Keesha and Ollie were selected to play in the PoV. Following the picking, Ollie and April ran to the sauna room to celebrate. They were acting as if one of them already won the veto but little did they know fate was not in their corner.
For the Power of Veto competition everyone was shocked by the transformation of the backyard. It was decked out with Halloween type props, including a python, voodoo dolls of all eight of them, crows to scare Ollie and a witch like Michelle. The point of the competition was to guess how many items were in the backyard or how long an item was. The person who stayed in the game and was furthest from the exact number was eliminated. Once someone got 3 points they would win the Power of Veto.
The first item was the length of the python. Jerry ended up winning the point and Renny was kicked out of the challenge. The second question was asking how many pins were in all the voodoo dolls. Once again Jerry gained the point and this time April was eliminated. Third up were the cockroaches, the one item they could not see but rather had to feel to see how many were there. Since she didn’t touch them, Keesha was way out and eliminated herself, Dan gained the point for that round. With only three left the guys had to guess how many ounces of blood were on the table. Ollie and Jerry folded, automatically giving Dan the point. Tied with two points each, it was down to Dan and Jerry with Ollie having very little of a chance. The last item up for guessing was a bed of nails which Dan came closest to. This marked Dan’s first win of the season, breaking his self imposed losing streak.
Later that night April and Ollie knew that April had to get Dan to veto her. She wanted to use her $5,000 that she won from a previous PoV to sway Dan and Ollie thought that would surely get Dan to use the veto. Dan had other ideas though as he wanted to use the veto on Jerry, forcing Renny to put Ollie on the block. When the two got a chance to talk, Jerry apologized to Dan for the Judas comment. Of course he would though since Dan is in power this week and it just shows that Jerry will sway to wherever the power is.
Before the two could talk strategy, Dan and Renny had a humorous moment when Renny cut Dan’s hair. He was so scared that she would mess it up, since she is crazy and all, but he loved his new cut and even got a kiss from Renny. After a lock down outside the houseguests came in to a smaller table. Some were sad that their huge table was missing, except for Renny of course. Renny hated the large table since it was “such a bitch to dust!” Got to love Renny and her one liners!
Back outside April finally approached Dan about using the veto. She mentioned about possibly giving him some money and said that on her and Ollie’s word, Dan would not be targeted. Some good reasons for NOT using it on Jerry were also made since he almost did win his third PoV. Although I don’t like April too much she does know how to talk her way out of things but I don’t think it will work this time. Since Dan did have the choice to make he went to Renny to see her thoughts. He asked her straight out about having a deal with Ollie, which she denied. Dan then asked Renny who would go up if Jerry came off the block. She wouldn’t tell him, making Dan wary that Ollie would stay down and either Memphis or Keesha going up.
When it came time for the ceremony Dan dropped a bombshell on everyone. He said that one of the two nominees made a deal with him that involved cash. He never said which wanted to give him money, but since both April and Jerry have gold bars it could have been either. It was a smart move for Dan to play, putting the target on the two nominees and off of him. Not using their Veto was also smart for Dan since Renny could have put his alliance up. That leaves this round of Big Brother 10 and leads us into the eviction. Who will go? Either April or Jerry will walk out the door on Thursday and when they do we’ll let you know!
At the jury house everyone had an opinion on who they wanted to see. Libra wanted Jerry out but Renny didn’t even want to think of looking at him. Keesha wanted Memphis in the jury, for obvious reasons, while was very adamant about wanting Dan out. When Jerry walked through the door everyone was talking about him. Well rather bashing him. He didn’t catch the discussion though but most gave him a cold shoulder as they weren’t too thrilled he was back in their lives. All the girls on the jury had a very strong opinion on who should win. April battled for Memphis to win the money, simply because she hated that Dan got not only her but her boyfriend Ollie out as well. Keesha, Libra and Renny stuck to their guns for Dan and continually bashed Memphis. Renny said that Memphis didn’t play the game and she was in no way going to give him her vote. April basically said the same for Dan and continued on with her delusional self. Jerry seemed still upset with Dan but didn’t really give much of a reason. Michelle stayed rather quiet, other then telling Jerry about her trip with Dan. Ollie of course said hardly anything.
Later in the week Dan was given his trip, with Michelle, to a private beach. As he passed buy a gas station he noticed the price of $2.89. With “such a low price” Dan thought the economy was doing well…… he’ll be surprised when he gets out for good! As Dan flew across the ocean on the helicopter and worried how Michelle would react. She didn’t know who chose him and was shocked when she saw Dan jump from behind the helicopter. They both hugged and had a rather akward lunch but both seemed to have fun. Obviously Dan was grasping for a jury vote and actually asked Michelle if he has a chance at winning. Michelle wouldn’t really say and very little was spoken about the jury house. Michelle seemed to have fun and Dan may have won her over. We won’t know for sure until next Tuesday and that’s only if Dan is in the finals of course.
