What can I say? Big Brother 10 is showing what Big Brother is meant to be as it continues to shift power and shock not only the house guests but the viewers as well. With a surprise eviction for one player, a rebound shift of power for another and 9 All Stars entering the house who can’t love Big Brother 10?

Following the Power of Veto ceremony it was on awwn as Keesha and Libra wanted to shift the vote to evict Jessie. They knew that April wanted Memphis gone and when they tried she wouldn’t budge on evicting Jessie. Although the two girls pretended to still want Memphis out, Keesha put a plan in motion that would split the group and possibly evict Jessie. She knew that she needed four votes to evict this week but only had three in herself, Libra and Renny. That’s where Dan, America’s Player, came into play. Keesha grabbed Dan, along with Memphis, to show Libra they had the votes. When Dan agreed it was set that Jessie would go, but it was still up to America.

In the backyard April was worried that the two girls would flip and let Jerry know they might. He immediately knew that Dan was the swing vote and talked to him, telling him that he can’t be persuaded by Libra and Keesha. Dan kind of agreed but in an “hmmm, ok Jerry” manner and basically shrugged Jerry off. I don’t know how Jerry couldn’t realize it, but hey I guess he’s old. That night Dan talked directly too America, telling us that we better do what is best for him. It was fun to see someone talking to US and hopefully we didn’t screw Dan over too much.

The night was all about Dan as we saw a video from his family and football team. The team seemed supportive of their coach, although they seemed like they were more Dan’s friends rather then players. His family was split on the America’s Player twist as his sister loved it while his mother hated it. She felt it would hurt his game play but his sister knew he could pull through. After that Julie talked a bit with April. She didn’t mention anything about April and Ollie, you know, but April did say that she feels that her and Ollie’s relationship is true.

When it was time to vote the producers made it pretty obvious. They had Michelle, Jerry and Ollie vote first followed by Libra, Keesha and Renny. Dan was the obvious tie breaker, in reality it was America, and we forced him to evict Jessie. When Jessie walked out of the house, Michelle smacked her hands together and faced in front of everyone. She wasn’t too happy an either was Jessie. Although he didn’t go out in a rage he did leave somewhat angry, not the exit I had hoped for but still pretty good.

During the HoH the houseguests were asked to remember wake up calls that occurred last night. CBS had viewers send in wav files of what they should play to wake up the houseguests. Michelle was the only one to stay up all night and listen to them all. When it came down it is, Libra and Michelle were the final two of the competition. Michelle’s all nighter pulled off as she gained the Head of Household and shifted the power of the house. After such a huge eviction, this should be interesting as Michelle was the one most angry for the leave of Jessie. Oh I can’t wait to see how Michelle, and Jerry, blow up!

Before the show ended Julie dropped a HUGE bomb on us, but not the house. Ten former players of the game will enter the house sometime this weekend to play against those still in the game. In celebration of the 10th season Chicken George, Bunky, Amy, Jun, Jase, Janelle (I’m sure so many are happy about that), Boogie, Jen, Matty and Brian will play in a challenge against the remaining nine. What will the challenge be and what does it mean for the game? Tune in later to find out!

After watching A&Es Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal I have a greatly deeper and better understanding of just how scary and true seeing spirits can be. Of course there have been “ghost shows” out there before, but Psychic Kids was truly a moving experience that will forever change my view of the paranormal. The beginning seemed somewhat odd as we heard stories from three girls, Ahli (11), Jillian (12) and Faith (8) who claimed to seem ghosts and auroras. The show didn’t try to push the fact that they were being honest and truthful at the start but towards the end they didn’t have to. All three girls proved that they were the real deal and also opened themselves up for the camera to catch.

Ahli was somewhat the “odd girl out” of the bunch as she generally didn’t see ghosts but rather aurora’s. She can see different colors surrounding people that mean different things. Once she claims she ran into a man with a purple aurora, which to her means he is sick, and two days later the man died of a heart attack. If that wasn’t enough at the weekend retreat a specialist was called in. They both drew the o of the producer of the show and Ahli’s matched that of the specialist’s drawing. Later in the weekend she was also shown how to find people’s injuries or pains and help in healing. Ahli hovered her hands over Jillian’s mother, finding that she had problems with her chest and one knee. Jillian’s mother then clarified this was fact as she’s had bronchitis and her knee had been giving out.

Jillian was one of the two girls who could speak and interact with the dead. She saw a small boy in her home along with a lady named Emily. This Emily was the one causing most of the problems as she scolded Jillian and tried to make her do things. Jillian’s “proof” came when she saw her mother’s dead sister. Her mother had never told Jillian she had a twin who died at birth so this came as a shock to both her mother and to me as that is pretty amazing! Towards the end of the show Jillian was able to call out Emily and release her grasp. We also learned she believed Emily was her mother in a past life and Chip, the psychic medium specialist, confirmed this may be true.

Most of the beginning and end of the show focused on the youngest of the three, Faith. Her family was having a hard time believing their daughter had nothing more than an invisible friend and it was causing stress on the family. At the retreat Faith’s friend Freddie was found to actually exist in the time period she claimed he did. His mother Catherine, who Faith also sees, was also on Freddie’s records. This was an amazing segment as we learned that Faith does in fact have some ability to read into the world of spirits. If anyone thinks she’s lying after that they should seriously be put in jail. Towards the end of the show Faith had a traumatic experience as it seems Catherine lashed out at her, putting Faith in a state of terror. Chip along with Jillian were able to help Faith coax Catherine out and turn her away. In the end it seems Faith was able to release her fear of Catherine and remove her from her psychic experience.

The three girls shown on Psychic Kids were amazing. They prove to me that spirits and the world of the paranormal do in fact exist and isn’t just something we imagine. I hope to continue me journey with Psychic Kids and I hope it continues to change not only my view, but others as well, on the world of spirits and the paranormal.

Wow I can’t believe how crazy tonight’s episode was! Not only did the idol get washed out of the game but one of the biggest players as well! It all started off as the newly merged tribe returned from their first, and also crazy, Tribal Council. Jason let everyone know that he in fact gave Eliza the idol and everyone said how stupid of a move it was. They don’t realize it was actually pretty smart, since it revealed that Ozzy did in fact have the idol. He let us know that it was a play from Yau-Man that actually worked this time around.

It was then time for an early reward. They were first divided into two teams of 4, meaning one person had to sit out. Cirie ended up being chosen last and was sent to Exile while the others were told they would be playing for a trip to a remote island for dinner and a sleep over. It was hard to know how close the teams were since they had to first swim to an answer board and then return to fill in the puzzle. The first tribe to correctly resemble the puzzle would win. The Orange Team consisted of Jason, Ozzy, Amanda and Erik while the Purple Team consisted of Natalie, James, Parvati and Alexis. Both teams were fairly close when it came to swimming out and back in but only one correctly assembled the puzzle on four trips. The Orange Team ended up winning thanks to a last minute switch by Amanda and were quickly off to feast in the country of Yap.

When the group arrived in Yap they were greeted by an older tribesman and a few children. After being guided through a trek through the jungle a small town was opened up to them and they were amazed how the tribe lived. Amanda and Ozzy quickly got to work on the food while Erik was just stunned by the town and the people themselves. The tribal woman don’t wear tops and since he probably never saw the History or Discovery channel, Erik was shocked by this. After eating, drinking and chewing on tobacco the four spent in Yap nice and dry. The same couldn’t be said for Cirie on Exile.

Although this wasn’t her first time on Exile Cirie wasn’t prepared for this stay. With no Idol there she knew nothing could be gained by her stay. It rained both days that she was there and it seemed very miserable. In the time she spent there she realized that it was the best time to get Ozzy out of the game. He has the idol so Ozzy going takes the hidden idol out as well. Cirie is really upping her game this season and I’m really liking her all over again.

Back at the Dabu camp James wasn’t too excited to be stuck there with the three other girls. As he split some wood and sharpened his knife the three girls Natalie, Parvati and Alexis slept. Parvati woke up long enough to basically tell James to shut up and that didn’t sit to well with him. It seems that Parvati and James aren’t going along as great as we thought and that could be thanks to her new “girl power” alliance. When the four from Yap returned it was time to let everyone know exactly what they ate. Ozzy decided it would be best to brag about exactly how much food he stuffed into his mouth and the girls + James did NOT look happy. Parvati said he was a little brat and the other two minions seemed to agree.

At the immunity challenge a rehash from the first All Stars was played. Each survivor had t hold up their arm, which was attached to a big bucket of water, as long as they could. When there arm dropped low enough the bucket, which looked more like a bucket of slime, would dump on them. They would then be out of the challenge. Some welcomed “goodies” were also used to tempt people out of the challenge. First up was a bowl of gummy worms and other candies. Cirie and Erik went out and decided to split the treat. Next up was a single cookie and a glass of milk. Alexis dropped out before Jeff announced the reward and therefore couldn’t received it. She wasn’t too happy about that but was soon joined by both Natalie and James who also missed out on the cookie. With only Amanda, Jason, Ozzy and Parvati left three chocolate glazed donuts were brought out by Jeff. Ozzy was the only one to take it leaving the two girls to beat out Jason. Amanda ended up going out soon after for a “pee break” and that left Parvati vs Jason. The last reward was a group reward and would only be won if one of the two dropped out. Natalie spoke up first (she’s still there?) and said Jason would be safe if he dropped down and got them the food. Everyone slowly agreed, with their fingers crossed, and Jason bought into it. Jason ended up agreeing, even though they were all lieing, and gave Parvati her first individual immunity win.

Back at camp everyone was laughing over the fact that Jason actually thought they were going to not vote him out. Ozzy and James, who are becoming more cocky then Jason, laughed about saying Jason was just “outwitted” by the oldest game in the book. What they didn’t realize was Cirie was about to make the biggest play in Survivor history by swaying the vote for Ozzy. It was the best time to take him out since he thought everyone was voting for Jason still. Cirie knew Parvati was the only one who may not go along with it but told her anyway. Being that she was in two alliances Parvati had to decide which one she wanted to go with the end game with and the whole thing rode on her.

At Tribal Council it came out that Jason would be getting some votes by those who agreed to not vote him out. James was the one to break the news while everyone agreed. Ozzy seemed confident as ever though even though he said the Idol did put a target on his back. I really had no idea who would be getting the votes and just assumed it would be Jason going. Things changed though when the votes started to be read. Jeff read all of Jason’s votes first plus one of Ozzy’s. Then he slowly brought out the other three votes for Ozzy and finally the last blow. It was amazing how quickly the mood changed as Ozzy’s, Amanda’s, James’, Erik’s and even Eliza’s mouths dropped. It was a great moment when Ozzy’s name was pulled out as the last vote and he, and the idol, were sent packing. Everything now changes with the biggest player out of the game. Will the girls continue to dominate or will everything just fall apart now? All I know is this season will probably just keep getting crazier and crazier!
