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!
With the only showmance of the season gone Big Brother turns to its home stretch. Following the eye opening Power of Veto ceremony, the house was up in confusion about who offered Dan the money. April was upset that he would tell everyone while Jerry was upset that April would stoop that low for a vote. Michelle was really the only one wondering who, between April and Jerry, did the offering and when she confronted Dan he simply said it wasn’t meant that way. I don’t think they ever got to the bottom of the money question but the bribing sure didn’t end there.
When Ollie and April realized that they may be spending their last week together they went into game mode. Both targeted Michelle to start but she quickly shot them down, saying she would vote however the house voted. This led them, once again, to Dan. Ollie started off by saying how he would have two people not putting him on the block if they won HoH compared to Jerry who was only one person. April then got to Dan and let him know she would do anything for his vote, even throwing him a few gold bars. It’s a shame she would use the money to gain a vote from Dan after he basically revealed that she did earlier. Dan hinted that his mind was still not made up which seemed to set April at ease a bit atleast.
For the nights interview from home we finally got to see how April and Ollie’s family feel about their “showmance”. During the segment we saw the two discussing moving in together, which April says was a huge joke, but who knows. Ollie’s parents were up first and talked highly of their son. I still wonder if they REALLY know what’s going on in the house. Although his father didn’t know what a showmance was he said it was ok as long as it was real. April’s sister was happy for the couple as well, comparing Ollie to herself. The only time she disagreed with the relationship was when Ollie “fake” proposed. Her eyes lit up so fast you could hardly tell the difference between her and her twin April!
During the time Julie took to talk to the houseguests little was given out. The questions weren’t that hard hitting this week which was kind of disappointing. Showing a video to the houseguests of Ollie’s fear of birds was the only good thing that came from the segment which led into a very long Renny rant. Up in the HoH Julie hardly got any words in as Renny blabbed about her different sides and her mother and father. She also went on how she is against Memphis and always was. It was about 10 minutes and I’m sure the producers were freaking out, hoping she would stop to give them a break to go to the votes!
When Renny finally shut up long enough for the votes it was that time. April was evicted as suspected and walked out the door happy with only Ollie’s vote not cast for her. Outside she let Julie know that her and Ollie’s relationship is more of a friend them “romance” but they sure didn’t act that way in the house. The audience laughed when Julie mentioned starting a family and I’m sure April realized then that everyone knew her and Ollie’s not so hidden secret. April’s interview outside was actually one of the better ones this season and led us into probably one of the most entertaining endurance HoHs ever devised.
Out in the backyard all six players for the HoH sat on a round disk. They were themed as vines and when it started to rain it seemed that would be it. BUT there is SO much more to this challenge that makes it one of the most fun to watch. Every so often the vines swing back and actually swing the houseguests into a wall! It actually seems kind of fun but after awhile I assume there will be some brusing. If only Renny was in the mix it would be so much more fun to watch but atleast we have Jerry to make fun of! He’s already starting the “do you know how old I am” complaints!
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!
Big Brother is known for it’s explosive arguments this season and I think after the HoH was won there won’t be a dry spell anytime soon. Following Jerry’s very crazy Power of Veto speech nobody was happy with him. Everyone from Memphis to Michelle felt Jerry went out of his way to belittle Dan, calling him “Judas”. Dan couldn’t have been more thrilled though as he felt it helped his game. He knew everyone was angry with Jerry now and the target was moving off of himself.
Although Libra felt dead in the water, Keesha somewhat buried herself a bit by getting in a fight with April. She and Ollie wanted to switch up the game since April felt Keesha was jealous of her looks. This left Ollie to go to Libra about using their votes plus Jerry’s to keep her in the game. She only needed to get Dan to vote for her and that was the issue. The problem came when Memphis offered Dan an alliance called the “renegades”. It would consist of the two of them plus Keesha and Renny. They felt they should keep their alliance separate from the girls but string them along as far as they could. When Libra talked to Dan about being the swing vote he couldn’t give her a yes or no and she accepted that. Dan wavered on his vote but still seemed set on voting Libra out with his new alliance.
For the interview from home we finally got to see Libra’s husband talk about the “issue” of her leaving her twins. This means BB is betting on Libra going, since most who get a chat from home are mostly likely on the bubble to leave. In his chat Libra’s husband let us know she is a great mother and that his mother in law helps him with Libra’s children. They then played the Michelle freak out for him and he was obviously shaken by it. He didn’t like the way she talked about Libra taking the trip and that her children should be taken away. Although he knew she was strong he felt she was there for the right reasons, hopefully putting her critics to rest.
When it came time to talk to the houseguests Julie focused on the Dan/Jerry fight. Dan joked about it saying that Jerry should call him “Mr. Judas” while Jerry was still angry about Dan (America) voting Jessie out. When Julie talked to HoH Michelle alone she let us know that she wants her parents to be proud. She also talked about being friends with April and how it’s basically for the game at the moment.
Julie then returned back downstairs to administer the live vote. Although some were wavering it was obvious that Libra would go, and she knew it. With 6 - 0 votes, Libra walked out of the house in a good mood and saying that she had “fun”. It’s sad to see Libra go as she brought much drama to the house but the new HoH should do the very same.
During the HoH the houseuguests were given quotes from the diary room made by Brian, Steven, Angie and Jessie. The first person to buzz in would get to say who said the quote, if they were correct they could eliminate someone from the Head of Household. If they were incorrect, they would be out of the challenge. Renny got the first question right and kicked April out. Next up was Dan who also got his correct and booted Jerry from winning. Ollie, Memphis and Dan then answered incorrectly, kicking themselves out of the competition. That left best friends Keesha and Renny. Renny buzzed in last and correctly answered Brian. That gave Renny her first HoH win and shifted the power once again. Who will she put up? It’s going to be an interesting one and another one for the books I’m sure!
It was a rather slow night for Big Brother 10 but that didn’t mean it would be fight-less! Following the nominations the two nominees, Libra and Keesha, filled us in that they already knew they would be up. Dan thought he would go up and was happy to be safe and Jerry dropped a small bomb, saying the only way Dan could justify voting out Jessie is if he was America’s Player. Whoops! That was the case. I bet Jerry will regret all the “Judas” talk when he gets out of the house.
In the Hippy Room Libra and Keesha rallied their troops: Dan and Renny and let them know that everything was ok. Neither of the girls wanted to campaign but agreed that April had to leave. They believe she’s the reason they are being targeted and both promised to get her out if they stayed. In the HoH room Keesha talked a bit with Michelle where she did some Libra bashing. Michelle thought Libra was the one who rallied for Jessie go to but in reality it was Keesha. Following their chat the Power of Veto players were selected. Playing with Michelle, Libra and Keesha would be Memphis, Jerry and April. Not looking too good for the two nominees now is it?
Knowing he was in the PoV Jerry realized he could have some power. He wanted Michelle to put Dan up on the block since he wants him out so badly and Michelle seemed to agree. April, on the other hand, wanted Libra out badly and was happy she didn’t have to be “fake” to them anymore. She’s FINALLY admitting to being fake!
The night before the PoV Dan and Memphis decided to give Renny, Libra and Keesha their own wake up call. They put on masks and busted into their bedroom. At first they screamed but it quickly turned to laughter. Little did they know the PoV wouldn’t be so much fun as it would actually make them cry! What they had to do was chop onions and put them in a box. The person with the most onions, in pounds, would win the Power of Veto. They could also go for a reward if they didn’t want to win the Veto.
When it all came down to it, Memphis and April won the mystery prizes. Memphis chose the first envelope and won a dud: an onion necklace. April, in return, won five designer outfits which would turn up a little later. It was then down to the winner of the PoV and it once again came down to Jerry and Libra. One needed the power to stay while the other needed it to possibly change up the game. After weighing both of their onions, Jerry had about 5 pounds more, giving him his second Power of Veto. Could Jerry be the new Veto King?
Since he actually did win the PoV Jerry wanted to put his plan in motion to put Dan on the block. Michelle wasn’t too thrilled this time around but told Jerry to do what he wanted. Later that night the houseguests were treated to a feast, thanks to the food competition. It started off nice as each player said something nice about or to the group. During the “we love yous” Keesha mentioned how she feels her and April could make up, and jokingly said April should share her designer dresses. Libra then made a comment saying that’s the only reason Keesha was being nice to April, I’ll get back to that a little later.
Libra wasn’t done there as she pulled Ollie to the side. Earlier he called her a scallywag and a ho and she was upset. Ollie told her that he was sorry and Libra pulled a crucial move by telling Ollie that Keesha was the one who got the votes for Jessie to go. Upstairs in the HoH Michelle told Keesha about Libra’s “only for the outfits” statement. Keesha wasn’t too happy about it so Michelle pulled April and Libra into the mix. The four girls, once again, fought it out. Each yelled out the other three at least once and it all ended with Keesha leaving the room. That didn’t sit well with Michelle who followed out the room, only to fight a little bit more.
Although the fight went down the night before between the girls, Jerry was the one with the power. Although he didn’t use the PoV he did create a stir with his “anti-Dan” statements and calling him Judas. Nobody liked the fact that Jerry called it “his house” and used his time to bash someone else and their religion. Thursday night should be a fun one as the two girls still have some time to cry for votes. Who will be the one sent packing and how will the power shift again? See you on Thursday!
