Big Brother 10: 8/19 Show Live-Blogged from the East Coast

The show has started here on the East Coast. I'll be constantly updating this post as it airs. Please forgive any typos as I'm typing on the fly here. Well, on the keyboard, but ...! Everyone is welcome to have fun in the comments area!

Recaps - Ollie works Renny to get Jerry on the block. And, sure enough, it happens! Nominations once again. Renny's nom speech again. In color for Day 39. Jerry tells us how tough he is with Marines at 17, kill or be killed. Renny tells us April is the target this week. April thinks the whole game is personal and she'd be a liar if this didn't work. Ollie is grateful he's not on the block.

Dan thinks that Renny has a secret deal with Ollie. Dan talks to Memphis and they're worried one of them will go up if the veto is used. Ollie comforts April. April tells Ollie she has to look vulnerable to those people right now. She wants his support.

Renny in HOH room, Keesha arrives. She asks if Jerry is okay. Renny says it's two from the trio and I did what I wanted to do. She likes Ollie and wanted to put Jerry up. Keesha tells us that she doesn't think Renny will put Ollie up if the veto is used. Renny says no one should feel safe. Renny tells her certain people are targeted and they must go.

Jerry in bed talking to himself. Ollie thinks the Colonel is losing his head. He is indeed talking to himself, no religion, no politics, but he misses his family.

POV players pick time -- Dan doesn't want Ollie to play because he would take April down if he won. Renny picks Dan's name, April chose Keesha's name, Jerry chose Ollie's name. Renny names Michelle as the host

Ollie and April are ecstatic that he's playing. Dan, Keesha and Memphis are not happy with the Ollie pick. Keesha tells the guys that Renny likes Ollie and won't put him on the block. Memphis thinks Renny is a loose cannon and has gone off the deep end. He's really upset that Renny would put one of them on the block and not Ollie.

Time for veto comp -- spooky backyard, mummies, graves, python, bones ..."freaky and outright evel" -- Ollie. There's a crow there. There are voodoo dolls representing the HG. They have five minutes to examine the items. Dan figures it's a memory. Five roaches, Keesha is squeamish as Dan is concentrating. Jerry tells us he's like a little streetfighter. Object is to earn three points. BB will ask a question, always an amount for the answer. They write the answer down, look at others and can stay or fold. Closest to actual answer gets point. If you stay and are furthest, out.

Length of serpent: Jerry stays w/216, Ollie folds, ERenny stays w/540, all others fold. 260 inches, Jerry won the point on the snake. Renny is out.

50 pins stuck in a voodoo doll example - pins in all 8 - Big range in answers. Jerry stays w/1200, April stay 705, Keesha stays w 900... Jerry gets a point for the item, needs one more to win POV. April eliminated.

How many cockroaches in tank -- Dan tells us he can't afford to throw the comp. Keesha stays w/20, etc. Dan's 68 is closest to the 195. Keesha is out.

Ounces of blood in containers on table - Ollie and Jerry fold, Dan gets the point.

Nails on bed of nails -- All stay. Dan is closest, wins POV with his third point.

Jerry is upset he was so close and lost. Ollie is upset he let April down. Dan tells us he might have to use the veto to get Ollie and April both on the block. April will do whatever she can to get Dan to take her off.

April and Ollie suggest using gold bars rto bribe Dan. Dan is upset and might use the veto on Jerry so Renny will put up Ollie. Jerry and Dan meet in the storage room. Jerry tells Dan he knows he took a nasty shot at him last week. He apologizes for the Judas comment. Jerry tells him that his loyalty will be to those who help him stay if he stays this week. Dan shakes hands and accepts the apology. Dan tells us he'd have zero enemies in the house if he takes Jerry off.

Dan and Memphis -- Dan thinks Ollie could put either of them up. He thinks Ollie will go after them. Memphis isn't so sure.

Dan gets a Renny haircut. He tells us he's putting his prize possession in her hands, then prays. She tells him she'll cut it the way she wants. He ends up liking it.

The table is smaller. Ollie thinks nothing easy will happen from now out.

April is talking to Dan. He asks if she feels safe, she says no. April says she always tries to be nice. April wonders if Jerry offered him anything, he says no. Dan said he doesn't know if he'll use it or not. April offers her word, Ollie's word and cash. Dan asks if Renny and Ollie made a deal -- she thinks Renny did it on her own because she has nothing against Ollie. Dan says he has to think about it.

Dan and Memphis -- Dan wants to talk to Renny. He wants Ollie going up. One thing I don't like is how loud he is in DR. He says he doesn't want to disrupt her plans, asks if she and Ollie made a deal. She says no, she likes Ollie. Dan throws out scenarios -- Jerry off, she gets stuck on that ... would look at him as a traitor. She tells him she trusts him and thinks he'll keep the noms the same.

Dan considers the veto -- use or not. He wants what's best for himself. April is worried that Dan will take Jerry off, Renny will put Ollie up and she goes home. Jerry doesn't think he'll use it on April and would like if he used it on him.

Speeches -- Jerry: I'm 75, grew up hard, set in ways, don't sugarcoat, stretfighter's mentality, Judas apology again, use as see fit.

April: Congrats, honor Renny's wishes, don't expect you to use it, but would love it.

Dan: Respect both for coming to talk to him. One brought interesting $ proposition for him, gave him a tough decision ... decided to ... pause ... not use the power of veto. Dan tells us he mentioned the money to put doubt in the game and stir things. Ollie says they have to get votes to keep April. April is going to be a total bitch (she says) if it looks like she's leaving this week.

BB10: Latest Live Feeds

My latest BB10 live feeds report is up over on TV Squad. I also have a post pending there with the new cast for The Amazing Race, but I don't know when that's going up. CBS put up the official new TAR website today.

At 9 PM ET, I'll get the live-blogging post up for tonight's Big Brother here. I hope to see you there!

Big Brother 10: Live Feeds Into Tuesday Dawn

Yep, Zoetawny was kind enough to create a new graphic all about those lovable blond bimbos! Here are the happenings from the evening and overnight hours in that Big Brother House of Hollywood Wannabes:

• Keesha and Memphis talked about April saying in her interview with Diane Henry that she wanted to meet Howie. For supposedly big show fans (at least Keesha), it must have been two seasons missed -- neither is sure who Howie is. Memphis thinks Howie was a gay guy on the show. @@
• Renny told Michelle she thinks Dan has been using the HOH bathroom to masturbate. (Remember, she won't let him or others use it anymore.)
• April told Ollie that she's accepted the fact she's going home this week. They both talked about their future together. (Maybe we should open the wagering for how long they'll last as a couple?)
• April and Ollie would like to do The Amazing Race. Please, no.
• April now regrets splitting up the $10,000 she won.
• Renny and Michelle had a long talk about a possible boys alliance with Jerry, Dan, and Memphis. They think that even though both younger guys have reason not to like Jerry, they might have banded together because Jerry's been hanging out with them a lot.
• Apparently Dan mentioned that he was offered money to use the POV, but he didn't say who made the offer. Renny and Michelle think it might have been Jerry (he has $4,000).
• Jerry, Ollie, and April think Michelle is a "turncoat."
• Memphis, Keesha, Michelle, and Renny bashed Jerry in the HOH room.
• Ollie, April, and Jerry all denied to each other the money offer to Dan.
  
• Dan and Memphis think their eating comp was weak compared to other seasons. (Yes, it was - crickets, slop, and pig ears are tasty compared to some of the stuff past seasons.)
• April asked who people thought was the hottest ever BB contestant. She says Ollie. @@ Ollie says Holly (season five, not the stuffed dog), Jerry says Janelle (surprise, surprise), and Michelle says Dr. Will.
• Michelle thought Evel Dick was hilarious, but hated Daniele. April and Jerry agreed with her.
• Dan again wondered about the picture of BB10 on the Memory Wall with a key slot. Memphis thinks they'll bring someone back in.
  
• April says she's going to go out with a bang. Last week she wore the afro wig, this week a bikini! (That was on Craig Ferguson.)
• April got mad at Dan for "bringing her family into the game." I somehow missed that if it indeed happened.
• Dan was the last one up and said goodnight to Monica before retiring. All are asleep as I post this.
  

BB10: Latest Live Feeds

Memphis relaxes in the yard above while Dan has a praying mantis trapped under a plastic container below. And, my latest live feeds report is up over on TV Squad. With the exception of the veto meeting, today has been rather uneventful. Since my report was written, Renny had a long talk with Dan about Memphis. Dan said he could be trusted in a group, but he has concerns about him, too. Renny told Dan she trusts him more than she does Memphis. Good. I like Dan better than I do Memphis.

BB10: POV Bulletin

Dan did NOT use the POV. Both April and Jerry are still on the block. It's still looking like Dan, Keesha, and Memphis will vote for April to go while only Ollie and perhaps Michelle will vote to keep her. Michelle has gotten very close with Ollie and April as of late, but her vote still might go either way, especially if she realizes April will go no matter how she votes.

Big Brother 10 Live Feeds Into Monday, etc.

No, this isn't a current screen cap. I took it yesterday, but I know how much some of the readers like Dan in his shorts. I also forgot to mention that I had a live feeds report posted on TV Squad just about show time last night, as well as a recap/review of the show.

Here's the recent happenings from inside the Big Brother House of Insane in the Membrane:

• Ollie tried to convince Dan to use the veto to save April. He mentioned $1,000 pay off in the BB gold bars she has. When Dan asked if he'd be upset if he didn't use it, Ollie said he would.
• Ollie claims he just wants to know if April is going so they can spend quality time together.
• Michelle asked Dan if he made any deals with Jerry to use the POV to save him. (Although Jerry apologized, Dan didn't say he'd use the veto to save him.)
• Michelle told Memphis that Jerry said he didn't want to be there any longer. (Yeah, right.)
• Renny once again told Jerry he wouldn't be going home (sequester) this week.
• Dan thinks Renny screwed up this week by not putting up April and Ollie. (I think so, too.)
• Renny and Jerry agreed that Memphis is not really any friend of Keesha's. They both think he's using her.
• Ollie tried to convince April she needed to offer Dan the $1,000. (Nice of him to try to give away her money, then tell her later!)
• Michelle and April think a female producer (DR) is nicer to Jerry than to them.
• Dan and Michelle talked about going into an alliance with Ollie and April, but no firm decision was made.
• April was evasive when Dan asked her who she'd put on the block if she stayed and won HOH. She says she has nothing against anybody in the house. @@
• Keesha worked on Dan not to use the veto. I think she's more convincing than Ollie, April, and Michelle.
• Memphis doesn't want him to use it because it's likely he'd go on the block.
• Renny and Dan talked. She said she can see it in April's and Memphis' eyes how much they want the win. She thinks they'd do anything to get it.
• Dan told Renny he didn't commit to anything with April. (True.)
• All are asleep as I post this.
  

Big Brother 10: 8/17 Show Live-Blogged from the East Coast

The show has started here on the East Coast. As it airs, this entry will be updated -- please forgive typos! Everyone is welcome to hang out in the comments section!

Recap, recap, Libra is evicted again, and Renny is HOH again. Libra is evicted yet again. Keesha feels good that everyone voted for her to stay (Libra to go). Michelle mentions Libra didn't hug her going out the door. It's color and Day 38. Renny is about to get HOH again.

Renny is emotional -- she misses her mother and wants to see her photo. Keesha is happy -- "I can unpack my bags for the week." April has a fake smile and tells us she knows she'll be on the block. Memphis wants to move in the room w/Keesha. Renny is leery of his game talk with her.

Ollie and April are sad, then Jerry walks in. April tells us he always shows up. They go to go lay down, leaving Jerry in the living room. Keesha tells Memphis she thinks Ollie and April are going up. Ollie and April would prefer that Jerry go on the block with one of them.

Renny looks subdued, asks Keesha what Memphis' story is. Keesha said they've made no promises. Renny is sure Memphis wouldn't take Keesha to the end. Keesha thinks Renny is the only one who would take her to the end. Renny thinks Memphis is a threat, very sly. "He's the male April."

Keesha doesn't want Renny to put Memphis up and she's worried.

HOH room time. Renny tells us if her parents were alive, they'd be thrilled she was on the show. A photo of her mother throws her into sobbing. All of the guys stay outside while the girls stay as she sobs. Then the guys come in. All look uncomfortable. Jerry sees a new side of Renny. Her letter is from husband and son. It's very nice and they're in her corner. Team Renny all the way! We've got your back.

Playing with Holly, the stuffed dog. Holly was on April's bed. They get caught playing soccer with Holly. Oops, tossing Holly, she ends up in trhe hot tub. They played keep-away. April tries to fix her.

Ollie and April cuddle. April thinks of him as a best friend. He mentions being sexually attracted to best friend. Ollie tells us he's interested in something out of the house with her. He jokingly asked if she would marry him.

Michelle and Renny talk. Renny likes her. What if she won HOH next week? Would not put Renny up, would swear on bible or parents that she wouldn't -- Renny isn't her target at all. Renny tells us she wants to reel Michelle in and get her to trust her.

Renny is leery of April and the guys. Michelle tells her she respects her, shots of Keesha, April, and Memphis looking scared. Hmm... Survivor premieres 9/18. Wonder if BB ends 9/16?

Food comp -- Red and blue teams, keesha is server. Fancy domed dishes. Interesting twist to game this year. Going for four points. Pigs ears silence crickets, crickets hop slop, slop drowns pig ears.

Red - Dan, Michelle, April, Keesha
Blue - Ollie, Memphis, Jerry,

Red - Dan eats crickets and says grace for them.
Then Michelle eats crickets for red. and they're ahead
Jerry eats slop for the blue. It's been in the sun. He did it, blue has a point in the game.
Memphis goes for pig ears against Dan and does it. Score is tied.
Michelle has to eat pig ears, not a problem.
April has to eat pig ears -- she's a vegetarian. But she does it.

Jerry, Memphis, Ollie are on slop.

Michelle, Dan, April, and Keesha (server) eat this week. Now come the lollipops. The table is full of lollipops. "Ollie loves his lollies." Jerry gets defensive saying they're only for the slop eaters.

Crow in yard with Ollie. He's scared of them, blames Hitchcock. He thinks they're former dinosaurs. (This is old footage). Ollie ran for his life when he saw a crow and cowers on the couch, easing himself out of the yard and into the house.

Renny talks to Dan. She says he's not in danger but she might need him to go up as a pawn. She says she's after the trio without making too many enemies. Dan reminds her that if he, Keesha, and Memphis vote, they'll do what she wants. Memphis arrives. "How about being a pawn, Memphis?" "Get the hell out of here." He tells her it's a mistake -- pawn always goes home.

Memphis and Dan tell her that Jerry would put them up if he won HOH. Keesha and Michelle arrive. "Do either of you want to be pawns?" They almost choke. Memphis thinks that all four would do what she wants.

Renny wants to know where Ollie is in the game. They all say he hardly ever talks game. Ollie tells her in front of the crowd, he's in to win. Then he stays with her. If April left, how would he be. He says he won't throw the towel in. Renny tells her she wants him to stay. He asks why April is target -- she says fierce competitor. Ollie tries to badmouth Memphis and the Colonel. He tells her to do what she wants to do.

Nominations today -- Renny is dressed up with a black one-shoulder dress. Dan is worried that one from their side will be put up as a pawn. April epects to be put up -- it's hard to swallow because I'm such a nice person. Ollie knows April is the number one target. Keesha thinks Renny's thinking is sometimes off the wall. Memphis doesn't want to be put up as a pawn -- he will be her enemy. Renny wants her noms to shake up the house.


Ceremony -- Key order: Dan, Keesha, Ollie, Memphis, Michelle. April and Jerry are on the block.

April -- most tough cookie woman ever met, big threat. Jerry -- day one put me on the block, have to do same to you.

Keesha thinks she should have put up Ollie and April. April hopes to reveal Jerry as a floater. Jerry says big boys don't cry.

TV Snippets

Off from the Big Brother topic, I want to talk about some of my TV observations, as well as a few TV pet peeves.

1. Tying in with the photo I took above in North Plainfield, NJ -- I've been watching The Sopranos on A&E. The theme song caught my attention and I looked it up. It's not about the mob. It's actually about a woman who woke up one morning twenty years in an abusive relationship and shot her husband. Interesting how well if fits in with the mob scene although it stems from an actual news story. I can see why the series is a hit. They have a lot of clever bits. They're showing the last season now and I loved when The Theme from Peter Gunn kept playing as the feds tried to set up surveillance on Tony. Knowing Jersey as I do these days, I find it hard to believe folks from North Caldwell hang out so much in Elizabeth. BTW, Elizabeth is the county seat for my county.
2. On another New Jersey note: Attention, weathermen (and women) -- STOP standing in front of NJ when doing the weather! Sheesh, please stand on the right side over the ocean or far end of Long Island! Why do you stand on the left blocking where half of your audience lives? Also, the weather usually travels west to east.
3. I've noticed the Baskin Robbins ad has toned down. Originally, the adult woman kicked the soccer ball and screamed "In your face!" at a little girl. I personally thought that was in poor taste. Then, lo and behold, they're not showing that version anymore. Now she kicks the ball and high-fives a shocked coach.
4. I received and have managed a first watch of The Wire: Season Five. I really should write up a few posts about what I think is the best drama series ever to air. You go, Slim Charles. Cheese needed to be got.
5. Too many crime/autopsy-based shows are using Coumadin or Warfarin to poison or kill people. Stop that, please. Just have the victims drink mercury or something. You're making me worry about my dosages.
6. Why do people confess on The First 48? Man, if I were a murderer, I would say "Lawyer, please." That said, when there was a huge embezzlement at my workplace years back and I was a suspect due to access, I voluntarily took a lie detector test with the State Police. I knew I was innocent and thought it would be an interesting life experience. Oh, I was indeed innocent.

Big Brother 10: Live Feeds Into Sunday Dawn

Without much scheduled drama until tomorrow's PoV meeting, things are a bit quiet in the house. Nonetheless, there are a few things worth mentioning:

• Renny has clamped down on other people using the HOH bathroom. She says she doesn't even let her husband use her personal bathroom at home.
• April got paranoid thinking everyone had been called into the Diary Room except for her.
• They experimented with slop cooking.
• Michelle and Ollie trashtalked the departed Libra.
• April thinks Michelle will vote to keep her. Ollie also thinks Dan owes them the vote.
• More got into trashtalking Libra. Keesha said that Libra was the one who told her "they" were coming after her. (Wasn't it Renny?)
• Keesha told the others that production told Dan to wear the POV necklace when he went upstairs to talk to Renny.
• They all think it's quieter and less drama with Libra gone.
• April spent various periods of time throughout the day and evening crying by herself.
• April thinks the reason she's on the block is because others are jealous that she's won prizes. @@
• April is upset because people are saying bad things about her. (It must be because they're jealous, right?)
• Ollie comforted her. When Michelle asked what was wrong, April told her everyone has forgotten that she has feelings, too.
• Dan told Memphis that Renny wouldn't tell him who she plans to put on the block if he uses the veto. (They're worried it's Memphis.)
• All are asleep as I post this.
  

BB10: Checking In

Hey, folks ... just wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten you. Above are two screen caps I took a few minutes ago as Memphis, Dan, and Michelle chat in the backyard. Oops, I forgot to get a screen cap of Michelle! Heehee.

I've had a post in pending over at TV Squad for quite some time now. I have no clue when it will go live. Thankfully, nothing really exciting has happened since the POV comp results.

P.S. - That post is up on TV Squad. It's been uneventful for the most part all day and into the evening.

Big Brother 10 Bulletin - POV

The houseguests were right -- POV played out in the middle of the night. And, the winner? DAN

Yes, Dan has won the Power of Veto.

BB10: Latest Live Feeds and Nominations

Nominations still aren't in, but they recently blocked the feeds with nothing awry ... so maybe! My latest live feeds report is up over on TV Squad. When I know if this latest block is the noms or not, I'll let you know.

Feeds returned, It doesn't seem to be noms. Michelle, Keesha, and Ollie are talking about how they think something is going on tonight like POV as BB didn't put the exercise equipment back in the yard.

UPDATE: At 8:10 PM ET, they were put on outdoor lockdown (except for Renny and her black dress), then the feeds were blocked. So, the nominations ceremony should be in progress.

Another UPDATE: Feeds back at 9:38 PM ET. Jerry is on the block. Renny told him she doesn't want him to go home. April is the other nominee.

BB10: Food Comp Results and ...

... giant lollipops. Yes, that's what won in the CBS poll. As for the food comp, it was the icky food eating one. I think: On slop are April, Dan, Keesha, and Jerry. Memphis is also on slop, but he's toying with the idea of using his slop pass from that POV comp. I may be wrong about Keesha because I swear I saw her eat a pretzel with Renny. Those on slop can have giant lollipops.

Big Brother 10: Live Feeds Since Renny Became Queen of the House

Nicely done, Renny.

For me, this is the perfect HOH at the right time. Unlike others, I think Renny will be her own HOH and won't expect everyone to vote her way. But then, her nominations won't include anyone put in there as a pawn. I think she'll put up two people she wants to go home and have a back-up plan for if the veto is used. At least, I hope so. Here's the skinny since Renny Became Queen:

• Memphis is loving the fact that Renny is HOH.
• April and Ollie are thinking their best case scenario is if one of them is up with Jerry, then one could win veto and save the other.
• Memphis, Dan, and Keesha already feel safe for the week. They think Renny will target April out first.
• Michelle told Memphis and Keesha that she heard the live show go nuts when Renny won. Keesha said they always applaud -- she thinks there's "Applause" signs.
• Ollie and April hope Jerry doesn't attach himself to them all week.
• Dan told Keesha about Libra approaching him for the vote and how Ollie tried to feel him out as to the vote (feel OUT, mind you, not UP ... no gutter minds, please!). Dan wasn't sure that the vote would go down the way it did.
• Memphis and Keesha think they handled their side winning with much more class than last week's win.
• I think they did, too.
• April told Michelle that if Renny's smart she'll put up Dan and Jerry. Um, yeah ... right, April. I think that ain't gonna happen. I don't think she has any thought of putting Dan on the block.
• Jerry took time out of his busy day to remind Michelle and Keesha that he kept his word to them. Already side switching, eh?
• Michelle is a bit upset that Libra didn't say goodbye to her. I didn't notice that when I watched the show.
• April and Ollie talked about Michelle "faking it" and how they know she made a deal with "them."
• When Jerry defended his behavior as "at least everyone knows how I feel," they both thought it might be better say nothing at all if you can't be nice. They don't practice that all the time themselves, but ...!
• Keesha mentioned in front of Jerry that she would never call someone a "two-headed snake." He didn't defend himself.
• April is planning on throwing Jerry under the bus to Renny. I'm not surprised, but I don't think it would be anything Renny doesn't already know.
• April thinks the Diary Room loves her, can't wait to see what she does and that no one would want to be up against her. She thinks Renny is close with Ollie and will go after Jerry for all the problems he's caused in the house.
• Can you say delusional? Sure, Renny might put Jerry on the block, but I think she sees right through both April and Ollie.
• Ollie says he will throw everyone under the bus. He will let Renny know that she's mistaken if she thinks Keesha has her back.
• You and I know that won't work.
• Memphis and Keesha think the Libra approaching Dan for a vote might have all been Libra. Oh, no ... you foolish tools!
• Renny talked to Keesha about Memphis. She thinks Memphis is using them to get further ahead. (And, yes, he is.)
• Renny told Keesha she has a pretty good idea who she wants to put on the block. She also thinks that Memphis would sell both of them down the river quite quickly.
• Renny likened Memphis to a quiet April.
• In her new HOH room, Renny cried at the photo of her mother.
  
• Not long after Renny got her room, the hamsters were stuck on an outdoor lockdown.
• April's custom-selected designer dresses arrived.
• Renny talked to Michelle asking her if anyone had talked about getting her (Renny) out of the house and if Michelle would put her up if she won HOH. Michelle told her she wouldn't.
• Renny told Michelle that if it came down to the both of them in the final two, she'd rather Michelle get the win. I think she thinks Michelle needs the money more.
• Renny is still upset about being called a floater in the game.
• For all of the nice talk, Renny told Michelle if she sells her out, she won't forget it.
• Renny also questioned Michelle for her opinion on Memphis. Michelle had nothing bad to say about him.
• Renny said she's going to go with her gut for nominations -- she wants April out. (Yay, I knew I haven't misplaced my faith in her!)
• Renny says no one will sway her in the game -- nice guys finish last and it's time she got mean.
• Michelle told April she knows Jerry was teaming with them (Ollie and April) to change the vote. She seems to think it was Jerry's idea and you know April and Ollie ran with that!
• April, most likely with ulterior motives, gave Michelle a pair of the earrings she received with the clothes.
• All are asleep as I post this.
  

Big Brother 10: 8/14 Live Show Live-Blogged From the East Coast

The show has started here on the East Coast. This entry will be updated constantly as it airs. Please refresh the page to catch the latest. And, as always, everyone is welcome to jump in with comments -- the more, the merrier! Please be warned that this entry might have some typos as I'm paying more attention to my TV than to my computer monitor. My full show review/recap will be up on TV Squad late tonight. And, if I happen to vanish, we're having thunderstorms going through here ... again.

Oh, geez ... Jessie is upset at Dan in recap again. Recap, recap, recap ... and more recap.

Julie has on white slaces and a green sweater set top tonight. Not the usual look for her. But first ... Libra is counting on a miracle. Now for the second time Jerry gives his POV speech. Enough already.

Good, we're in color. Libra explains to Jerry in DR that BB isn't a game of trust and Marines. Renny thinks Jerry looks worse than Dan now. Herry's strutting like he's oh-so-perfect. Now Memphis and Michelle are wondering what's up with Jerry. Memphis says Jerry will regret saying that Dan is Judas. Michelle is irked at him, too. Libra apologizes that Dan was called Judas. But in DR, Dan is thrilled to death with Jerry's bad behavior because everyone feels sorry for him now.

Libra is sure she's going to get evicted, but Keesha is worried anyway. April is scheming against Keesha with Ollie. They know the eviction wasn't all Libra. April thinks that Keesha is upset because she's prettier than her and she never went to college. @@

Memphis told Keesha he has her back. Memphis proposes to Dan that he and Dan get together with Keesha and Renny, then the two guys to the end. April and Ollie talk about voting for Keesha to go -- with Jerry. April said that Jerry agreed to it, but they need Dan. They want Libra to go to Dan to ask him. Ollie wants to blindside Keesha and Company -- doesn't want them to see it coming. So, Ollie goes to Libra.

Libra has to go talk to Dan for the 4th vote needed. "I'm Code Blue," she says. She tells him she wants to see where his head is. He says he's open to communication. She told him of a split, he wants more information. Dan tells us that leaving Libra in the game would benefit him. He tells her he'll think about it. Libra's family will be on tonight defending her.

Jerry tells us that Keesha is playing the Memphis card, two-headed snake, vote Keesha off. Ollie and April both want to vote her out. April does have it right about Keesha's voice. She feels bad for America about the voice. And, she says Keesha laughs like a hyena.

Libra's family is mad when she's called a bad mother. Libra is talking to Dan about going on the show and leaving the kids. To the family -- her husband says he encouraged her to go on the show. Her mother is taking care of one of the twins. She lives five minutes away. The older child, Fallon, misses and loves her. Back in the house, Libra is homesick. Her husband thinks that she's missing her family, but the risk is worth the reward. Her husband wanted her to take the trip. They think Michelle is horrible when she wished Libra's kids taken away. Hubby thinks it's way below the belt.

Heh, Dan said if she got a letter, it would be why didn't you take the trip?

Julie's questions HG --

Dan faith influence game? Dan says he's made mistakes and will go to confession.

Jerry - Judas? Still feel this way? He says it was heat of moment, but it hurt. He still feels that way.

Dan is bothered, it should be Mr. Judas, but he'll forgive him.

Memphis -- Shocked at Jerry/Judas -- Personal attack, stand up for those who he likes.

Renny -- Surprise you the most? All of them. Wonderful bunch of young people, Colonel, all unique. (Gosh, she's so diplomatic.)

More DR - Memphis wants to keep Keesha. Renny wants to keep Keesha. Dan wants to keep her as an ally in the house, but would like to keep Libra because she keeps attention off of him.

Julie/Mochelle HOH talk -- Relationship w/April? Happy anniversary to parents, Michelle thinks that April is attached because she keeps her word. Libra kids, Dan burning in hell -- she regrets the Dan comment and doesn't think Libra is a bad mother. Michelle admits she says a lot of things without thinking. Letter from home? Needed it, read it ten times a day.

Tonight's evicted HG first jury member. Talk with nominees.

Keesha - If evicted, no hard feelings, loved every list minute, take full responsibility.

Libra -- Crazy game, power struggles, changes on the dime, proud and tall, think for yourself, evict or not, you guys have to think of the game and play it for yourself.

Voting begins, the votes are to evict:
Renny - Libra
Memphis - Libra
... and we go to commercial.
Jerry - Libra
Dan - Libra
Ollie - Libra
April - Libra

Libra is out unanimously. Libra knew it the second she heard 6 out of 6 to 0. Friendly enough going, hugs all. She tells them to enjoy the game, it's a fun thing.

Keesha thanks people, back to Julie and Libra. Talk about alliance -- so volatile, you/Keesha/April -- all dominant type A. Libra thinks outside they'd all get along very well. Mastermind? Some credit, but not all of it. She started calling herself puppetmistress. She had fun. Critics about leaving family? Why did you do it? Wanted to win half-million, it would help kids education, it was a challenge.

Goodbyes - Ollie -Selfish went against April . April - Bad move, you turned against me. Renny -- Mother to mother, special connection, hope we comforted love you. Jerry - Strong player, manipulate, Keeshe - Wish only the best for you.

HOH comp -
They're in booths "Diary Room Confessions" - A quote from an evicted HG in DR, correct answer stays in game and can eliminate someone else. Answer wrong, you're out.

Oh, god one of my naps finally paid off - Renny is right with Jessie. She eliminates APRIL!

The player got played." Dan says Brian, eliminates JERRY

Kinda makes you feel a little lonely ... Ollie guessed Steven, wrong, out.

What doesn't come out in the rinse comes out in the wash - Memphis guess Steven, wrong

Jessie is a tool in all senses of the word - Dan guesses Jessie, wrong

After first sentence of Jerry's speech, my heart dropped into my stomach - Renny says Brian.

RENNY WON HOH!!!

Heh ... I saw Jerry and April slip away to the side. They are NOT happy.

The food item poll is announced.

Renny looks troubled. I think even though she gets mad, she's a bit upset that she will be responsible for nominations. She's a softie at heart.

Big Brother 10 Latest Live Feeds

The above is what we've been getting lately instead of fish when the feeds are blocked. The bubbles rise and change colors. Groovy, man. My latest live feeds report is up over on TV Squad -- I apologize for not letting you know sooner. I had to go out for my orthopedic surgeon appointment and wasn't sure when it was going up. The good news is my new knee is doing well, but I'm not ready to go back to work yet.

Remember to stop back at 8 PM ET and join in on the fun with the live-blog of the live eviction show! And, after that I'll be writing the full review/recap of the show for TVS.

And then I just might take a nap.

Big Brother 10: Live Feeds Into Thursday and Craig Ferguson

Yes, at the top of this report there is the video of the houseguests' latest appearance on The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Heh. Julie called out Ollie at the end for calling her "mama." The two screen caps are ones I took of Renny, Libra, and Keesha having late night slop snacks.

Here's what's been happening in that Big Brother House of Society's Misfit Toys:

• Jerry had a staring contest with Michelle's stuffed dog. The dog won.
• Keesha told Michelle that she's worried about being voted out. She knows that April told Libra that she wanted to talk to her and she's still very concerned about that.
• Libra went to Dan to try to get his vote (the Ollie, April, Jerry plan). Dan told her he'd have to know more about who's involved -- he wants names. When Libra told Ollie that Dan wanted names, they thought it suspicious. In the end they deemed the plan too risky.
• Michelle talked to Jerry to get confirmation that he's voting out Libra. He told her it wasn't Libra running the alliance. He told her that he thought Keesha should go, but he'll vote out Libra.
• Ollie, April, and Michelle think it's very suspicious that Craig Ferguson has never asked Dan any questions on their show appearances.
• Michelle said if the vote is 5-1 for Libra to go, she'll know Dan is AP.
• Memphis would like the HOH comp to be a pie-eating contest. Heehee!
• They were called into the Diary Room to tape goodbye messages for Keesha and Libra.
• Dan, Memphis, and Keesha talked about "some people" craving the attention on Craig Ferguson. They thought April looked ridiculous in the afro wig on the show.
  
• Renny told Dan he's eventually going to have to face issues and stop hiding his head under his pillow.
• April, Jerry, and Ollie tag-teamed Michelle trying to convince her that Keesha needs to leave this week.
• It wasn't successful.
• Michelle still says she saw the banner plane. (Which was a birthday greeting for someone NOT in the house. Why does she keep lying?)
• Meanwhile, Dan talked with Michelle and told her there was no good reason to keep Libra.
• Dan also told Michelle that Libra came to him with the flip the vote plan.
• Renny, Libra, and Keesha gathered in the the kitchen for a late night slop feast. They have tried being creative with the slop. I bet that if they were told that chef Julia Child was a WWII spy for the USA, they'd think it was a fake news story.
  

Latest BB10 Live Feeds

As you can see, it's a thrill a minute in the Big Brother house today. My latest live feeds report is up over on TV Squad. I hope to see you there!

Big Brother 10: Live Feeds Into Wednesday Dawn

Dan was embarrassed as Keesha, Michelle, and Memphis played Truth or Dare.

It's been a bit quiet fight-wise since Libra has basically conceded and expects to go home. I expect that will change once the new HOH comes to play. Here's what went down last night in the BB House of Boorah:

• Yesterday was the only day until Sunday that they can eat, so they did. A lot. I wonder what's going to happen this week as the food comp usually happens on Friday. Perhaps none?
• It was also the halfway point in the game -- BB gave them a cake to celebrate. But BB doesn't do birthday cakes this season.
• Michelle talked with Dan, telling him how poor and simple living her family is.
• Michelle doesn't think that she'd have Libra's vote at the end. Dan told her he thinks Libra would vote on gameplay, not personal reasons.
• Meanwhile, Memphis was teasing Keesha and she tattletaled to Renny on him.
  
• Then it started -- Ollie, Jerry, and April want to vote Keesha out this week if they can get Dan's vote. Ollie got the ball rolling ... just like he led the evict Steven movement.
• Then there was Dan's Murder Mystery. In searching for her toy (hidden by Dan), Keesha found a condom in Ollie's drawer. He swore it wasn't his. (Yeah, right.)
• Dan's first clue to Keesha was "It sleeps with the fish."
• Not finding her toy Gizmo, Keesha took all of Dan's underwear. (That should be interesting if you know what I'm talking about!) She put them in the freezer.
• Keesha, Memphis, and Michelle hung out a lot. Hopefully Michelle has seen the light -- April is definitely nastier than Keesha!
• Keesha, Dan, Memphis, and Michelle hung out in the backyard playing an embarrassing game of Truth or Dare. Dan abstained and blushed a lot.
• April and Ollie cuddled in bed and then Jerry sat watching them (see screen cap below). I was really creeped out even though they were just cuddling clothes on ... with Jerry parked there watching them.
• Renny later joined the backyard crew.
  
• The topic changed.
• Renny thinks that "the Colonel" has gotten very tight with April.
• The Renny, Keesha, Michelle, Memphis, and Dan bunch made a pact that they will NOT let April win the game. There goes the jury, eh?
• Memphis thinks April must not have had sex in years because she's wound up so tight. Heh.
• April said she was married two months, but it was annulled. Although Jerry's been married to his current wife since he was 20, he said the other day he was married for about a year before ... although they were only together about 12 days.
• When Renny did her Lily Tomlin impersonation, Michelle had no clue who Lily Tomlin is. Maybe she should call Ernestine for information.
• Dan and Michelle talked about Jerry's POV speech. Michelle really thinks that Jerry thought he could do the nomination if he saved someone from the block.
• For all of his pre-season bio innocence when it comes to girls, Ollie told tales of women throwing themselves at him and his active sex life to April.
• April actually seemed taken aback by his escapades tales.
• All are asleep as I get this posted.
  

Big Brother 10: 8/12 Show Live-Blogged from the East Coast

Welcome aboard! The show has started here on the East Coast. This entry will be constantly updated as it airs -- please forgive typos. Everyone is welcome in the comments area, so join in on the discussion! My full show review/recap will be posted over at TV Squad later tonight.

We're doing the nomination recaps once again. They weren't that exciting the first time around. Day 32 goes to color. Keesha is sure April had influence on the nominations. Libra - "You know damn right I'm the target." Dan is relieved. Jerry is mad and says the only way Dan could justify what he did is if he's America's Player.

Dan is talking to Keesha. He tells her not to let Michelle see her cry. She's upset that April's key was the first one pulled. Libra wants them to whoop her ass if she goes.

Michelle and Keesha talk. Michelle tells Keesha that she doesn't want her out, she wants Libra gone. She thinks all of the evicted have been due to Libra.

Time to pick players for the POV comp. Dan doesn't want Jerry selected -- he's worried he'd use it. Libra is sure she's on her own. Michelle picks April. Keesha picks Memphis. Libra gets Jerry. The host is Ollie.

April, Ollie and Jerry are talking about how happy they are that Libra and Keesha are on the block. They want Libra out. Jerry thinks Dan is a more dangerous player than Libra. Jerry (stalking) follows Michelle into the HOH room. He brings up Dan -- thinking he's America's Player. Michelle agrees with him. She doesn't trust his religious talk or school talk. Jerry wants her to think about him. He tells us that he wants to win the veto comp and take Libra or Keesha off the block.

They're sleeping ... Dan and Memphis want to look like robbers with bandanas and all. They grab pillows and raid the women in the bedroom, attacking with fluff.

Time for the veto. Ollie has a chef's apron on. Thousands of onions and a big chopping block. "Cry Me a Veto." Libra isn't going to sing Cumbaya My Lord and give her the veto. They have to chop onions and place them in either the veto bin or mystery bin. They have 45 minutes. Memphis is playing to win the prize. He wants to avoid making the decision or going against Michelle. Knife, mallet or dicer can be used. April is splitting her onions between mystery and veto. Jerry developed a plan with the chopper which made him lose almost none of the chopped onion.

Keesha's a mess. They have a little bucket right under their chins which they have to transport the onions. Dan and Ollie talk about Jerry being prsonal and wanting to send Dan home.

It's over. Mystery boxes -- 33.8 for Memphis, April 24.7, Michelle 19.4, Keesha 17.6, Libra none, Jerry 17.2. April wins second place, Memphis first. Memphis chooses an envelope. He wers a custom made onion necklace for 24 hours. April wins a personal stylist to pick five outfits to wear in the house and take home. She's glad the other girls will be jealous.

Veto boxes - Memphis 25.8, April 27.4, Michelle 31.0, Keesha 29.8, Libra 32.0, Jerry 36.8. Jerry wins POV.

Libra tells us put a fork in me, I'm done ... it's a wrap.

Jerry tells a strange story about old bulls. Dan is worried.

Jerry is giving the other room a figure. He again calls Dan Judas. He wants to put him on the block. April and Ollie are laughing about all the Judas talk. Every dog has his day, says Jerry. Michelle and Jerry now. He tells her he did it for Jessie. He reminds her he's 75. He wants Dan to suffer. He wants to take Keesha off so she puts Dan up. She isn't up for it, wants Libra out then says I want you to do what you want to do.

Feast time starts. Keesha thinks they should all say something positive about each other. Memphis confused me. Renny gives accolades to the Colonel -- his age and 110%. He gives a tear, he's felt all alone. Renny tells the girls they're all unique and beautiful in their own way. Dan tells Jerry they had an issue, but all of his talks were genuine, he only had one granfather growing up ... tears. Jerry tells him he treated like a grandson, but now totally betrayed. Keesha hates that she and April have issues. Renny says it's because they put two blonds in.

Libra said the designer dress was why Keesha's being nice. Michelle was mad at that. Ollie says anyone can talk to him, so Libra goes to the SR about the scaliwag and ho comments. She cries. He hugs her. She tells him she wasn't the catalyst for Jessie's eviction and throws Keesha under the bus.

Michelle tells Keesha that Libra was making snide remarks. Michelle gets April to back her up. Michelle wants to turn the friends (Libra and Keesha) against each other. "Bring the bitch in the room, if she wants to talk let her talk," says Michelle. Memphis lurks the doorway with his onion garland.

They bring up Libra. Libra claims she was joking and now the whole context is skewed. Memphis runs away. Now Keesha is upset. Let's go there then!" MEOW. Downstairs, Memphis mentions liquid courage.

April is looking all smug. Dan is happy because people will forget about me. Libra brings up that she talked to Ollie and Ollie told her that Keesha got the vote going against Jessie. Keesha says April told her things about Jessie. So now April, Keesha, and Libra are all under the bus.

Michelle and Keesha are screaming. Keesha is mad, but Michelle keeps at her telling her she wants to know what's going on. Keesha doesn't like April. While Libra won't admit what she does, April will blame it on everybody else. Food for thought for Michelle. Keesha tells her that April plays all of them, camera keeps cutting to April with an evil smile.

Time for the veto meeting. Jerry thinks it's his chance to get Dan out ... or he can honor Michelle. Expect the unexpected. What's with Dan's footbal paint stuff? OLSM?

Jerry's speech -- He has the pwoer to veto a nom. Keesha says she knows why she's here, evict Jessie, full and complete repsonsibility, doesn't expect the the veto. Libra -- same sentiments, doesn't expect him to use it.

Jerry talks a bit about how he feels and last week. He had no power last week. Dan, he's sorry he's not there. Walked around wearing the cross, told Jessie he'd give up his religion before breaking his word in the second week, Juda. He doesn't use it.

Meeting adjourned.

Dan doesn't think Jerry's speech accomplished anything. He'd rather be lucky than be good. Keesha wants to fight to stay. Libra has now turned on Keesha -- will let them know Keesha is the one who gathered the votes for Jessie.
