Big Brother 10: Live Feeds Into Wednesday Dawn


Aw, a boy and his balsa wood airplane. Ain't it just too adorable? Here's the latest from the Big Brother House of Marine Renegades:
  • Memphis and Jerry talked about the problems they had hanging onto the ropes the way they had to in the comp.
  • Jerry thinks they should have had handles. @@
  • Dan and Memphis briefly talked -- they don't want Jerry to see them talking together until after the second part of the HOH comp.
  • Dan talked to Jerry about how much he likes and misses Keesha.
  • Having heard Julie say the finale is Tuesday, Jerry doesn't know why they'd drag the show out with the final two alone in the house so long. He's got a point there.
  • Dan played with two ping pong balls and his wooden airplane.
  • Jerry sucked up to Memphis telling him how much he admired how he was playing the game although they got off to a rough start.
  • Memphis told him he respected him, too. Sure.
  • Dan wants Memphis to convince Jerry to throw the second part of the HOH. Memphis isn't sure Jerry will do it.
  • As Jerry and Memphis drilled each other on practice questions, the BB voice told them that kerosene lanterns are good to have when you're camping.
  • All are asleep as I post this.

BB10 TV Squad Doings

My show review post is up at TV Squad and there will be a special live feeds HOH comp update up there soon. The latter isn't much more informative than what you had here, but I had to get it up there, too.

Multi-tasking is so much fun! Thankfully, the BB house will be quiet tonight. But now you know why I've been quiet in comments.

Big Brother 10: Final HOH Part One Comp Update Post


9:45 PM ET - Memphis is out - Dan wins part one.

9:30 PM ET - Dan and Memphis still up.



Dan and Memphis still up at 9:20 PM ET, Jerry was out and already sitting when the feeds came back on at 9:07 PM ET.



Feeds came on at 9:07 PM ET -- Quad cam shows Jerry already out of it.

Okay, I have my feeds on, but they're still on trivia and theme music as I get this post up. I'll update it on a fairly regular basis or as we lose a hamster.

Big Brother 10 - 9/09 Show Live-Blogged from the East Coast

jackie's tv blog, Big Brother, BB!0

Zoetawny caught 'em dealing in the house! The show has started here on the East Coast and this entry will be updated as it airs. Comments, as always, are welcome! We're recapping right now.

Jerry made play for Memphis' vote. So Dan and Memphis scheme. Memphis says he'll be happy to send Jerry out the door. Dan says they're only safe if they win the veto. Julie has a nice pink slinky top and black slacks tonight.

Dan and Michelle's island giveaway, will it change her mind or seal his fate? (Michelle last said she wanted to do him bodily harm.) He notices gas is going down as they go by a station, he loves his helicpter trip. Over water, worried about Michelle.

She reacts well, surprised, but well. He prays. Anything I can use to win this game, I'll do -- says Dan. Michelle isn't sure to believe him or not and tells him she thinks he's working on a vote from her.

He tells her that the four all knoew and she thinks it does put thinkgs in perspective for her. When he asks if she thinks if he has any chance of winning, she tells him no. She does say if it's down to him and Memphis, she'll work on it.

Stairway to Veto -- We've seen this kind of comp before. They go up a step for each correct answer putting the answers in one step at a time. I have no vested interest in winning this competition - Dan. He says he might bring back the art of the throw. Dan is deliberately slowing down so that Memphis will win and have the blood on his hands.

Memphis wins!

Jerry says he needs Mmephis to save him, but doesn't trust him. Keesha says she needs Memphis to honor his word more than ever. Dan and Memphis do their little Renegades dance handshake.

Dan wants to make a plan which will almost guarantee they get to the final two. They're leaning towards keeping Jerry in another week because they think he's weaker than Keesha. Keesha is taking the probability of being put up on the block okay until Memphis says "At least you didn't unpack."

Ah, her epiphany is coming. She knows they're going to evict her ... she goes to the HOH room and directly confronts them about evicting her. Memphis can't even look at her. She says she can tell by the look on their faces. She wants to be told beforehand. When she says "you guys" Dan protested. She says the person who votes her out won't get her vote.

Memphis goes to her. She shuns him. "Are you going to at least tell me or tell me why?" "I just said I'm sorry." She cries. She goes after him crying. Dan just sits there. As she rants, Memphis looks miserable, almost like he's going to cry himself. Dan looks like he's scheming in his mind.

Dan goes and works on her, tells her he's trying to find a way to keep her.

Julie checks in -- shows film of gorilla at luxury comp - monkey business. They all laugh at the Jessie reveal. Keesha said she wouldn't have been as giddy had she known. Memphis - fruitless exit? No idea, but had to guess something. Congrats, Dan - trip? Awesome -- helicopter, private island, lifetime experience. Jerry - 4th time on the block, he says he's made an offer to buy the house.

Live veto meeting -- Memphis with no speeches from Jerry, uses it to save himself, Keesha goes up. Jerry: Great ridde, honored. Keesha wants to say nothing to Memphis but thanks Dan for being there for her the last few days. (Dan's ploy worked.) Memphis says the decision wasn't easy - business plan - evicts Keesha. She hugs Jerry and Dan. He gives her something with a message at the bottom. Finish it? Hmmm.

In the house, Dan still plays the Mad at Memphis card. Julie asked Keesha what Dan said -- she said he took Michelle on the trip. All the toy says is HOT on the bottom. Memphis? Shocked, figured it out because Jerry was too calm. She says she thinks Memphis was scared Dan would take her to the end.

Goodbyes -- Soprry, only thing which made sense for me, forgive me. Jerry: Your alliance wasn't good to the end. Dan: If Memphis sent you home, I tried to keep you. She admits Memphis is playing the game.

Part One of three part HOH -- Wing and a Prayer -- They're wing walkers balancing on planes. Wind, elements, they have ropes to steady themselves and helmets. The winner of this round advances to the final round and the other two duke it out during the second round. Winner of the second round then goes up against winner of first.

Julie will be back live Thursday for final HOH, Sunday never before scenes show, Tuesday live finale.

BB10 - Latest Live Feeds

My latest live feeds report is up over on TV Squad.

Remember -- tonight's show is at 8 PM ET/PT, not at 9:00! I'll have the live-blogging post up here then. Bring snacks, beverages, male strippers , and your comments! Now, I did cross off those male strippers, didn't I? I try to run a PG-rated blog here!

BB10: Last Night's Craig Ferguson Appearance Video

If you haven't read the latest brouhaha, make sure you check out my previous post. Here's the video of their Ferguson appearance -- it's a different player, you might have to click on the |> start doohickey to kick it on.


Big Brother 10 - Late Night Monday Live Feeds


Yessirree, Bob. It has hit the fan. And it's messy, too. After the feeds being blocked for their Craig Ferguson bit and on and off through the early evening (their time) hours, there was boredom. But not so much anymore. Yep, IT has hit the fan. Here's the latest:
  • Memphis told Dan that the Diary Room told him he couldn't say anything to Keesha about voting her out before the veto meeting on the show.
  • The BB voice never said anything about it -- usually they pipe up with the fact that they're not to discuss their Diary Room sessions.
  • So, made up by Memphis or not? I don't know.
  • Memphis told Dan that he feels really bad about putting up/facing Keesha.
  • Dan and Memphis think the Renegades will go down in BB history.
  • They studied/went over various comps trying to get them straight.
  • Meanwhile, all alone in the spa room, it's dawning on Keesha. She says to herself, "Those [bleepers] are going to evict me!"
  • She confronts Memphis telling him that's why Jerry's so quiet -- he knows. Memphis denies that he's voting her out.
  • She accuses him of changing the subject every time she talks about it.
  • Memphis soon thought of something he needed to do and avoided her.
  • Dan asked her if she's seen Memphis talk to Jerry.
  • She kept going on about Memphis voting her out and how he's obviously made up his mind.
  • Dan played along, acting like he had no knowledge about it at all.
  • She finds Memphis and confronts him and he said he wasn't allowed to talk about it.
  • She cried. And once again asked Dan how long he's known. Neither Memphis or Dan answered her.
  • She told them Michelle tried to warn her about them and she didn't listen. She feels very betrayed, she's had their backs all along.
  • Once she left Dan and Memphis, they had a huge whispering session which was impossible to hear. "Houseguests, please do NOT whisper in the house!"
  • Yeah, I said that, not BB. But they should!
  • Finally Dan asked Memphis if he should throw him (Memphis) under the bus to Keesha. Memphis agreed, saying that she hates him now anyway. Meanwhile, he (Memphis) will convince Jerry that he and Dan have had a major fight to pull Jerry into thinking they're not together.
  • Bot went to their selected spider prey -- Dan to Keesha, Memphis to Jerry.
  • Dan threw Memphis under the bus to Keesha, then threw him in front of a speeding locomotive. And it worked. Keesha is now the hugest Dan fan in the world.
  • Memphis redeemed himself in Jerry's eyes and once again Jerry told Memphis if it's between Dan and Memphis at the end, he has his vote.

Big Brother 10 - Latest Live Feeds

My latest live feeds report is up over on TV Squad. In addition to that, I just moments ago heard them say the POV meeting is coming in around five minutes. Of course, the feeds may be blocked a lot longer than that, but!

Whoops, now Memphis and Keesha are saying it will be done live with the eviction tomorrow.

Big Brother - Live Feeds Into Monday Dawn


This is a screen cap I took last night -- a close-up of Jerry's letter from home he got a while back. Here's what's been happening in the Big Brother House of Returning Prodigal Sons:
  • Dan was blindfolded for his trip which made him have motion sickness. Once he was at the helicopter, the blindfold was removed.
  • Every time he mentioned a second helicopter, the feeds got blocked.
  • Most of the times he mentioned signs or billboards, the feeds got blocked.
  • Any time he mentioned his handlers, the feeds got blocked.
  • He mentioned a second place was set at the table and he was hoping that someone would show up, but he was alone.
  • He mentioned being alone so much and so often that I'm sure Michelle did indeed take him up on the invite. A case of protesting too much, you see.
  • Memphis and Dan fed Ted.
  • Jerry started fussing about his neck hurting and put ice on it.
  • Dan and Memphis think that Jerry might be faking it hoping they'll think he's too weak to win a comp.
  • As for me, I can bet that Jerry probably has a lot of aches and pains which would disable Dan and Memphis if they had them. But, yeah ... I think he may be playing up the neck a bit.
  • BB spoke to Dan about "You are not allowed to talk about production:" when he mentioned the show staff had personalized parking spaces. @@
  • Jerry told Keesha excessively long stories about his childhood.
  • Jerry exercised while no one else did. His horribly sore neck didn't seem to affect his exercise regimen.
  • Dan said the handlers told him this was a good season.
  • Dan also said "Thank you, America!" to the cameras at one point.
  • As far as Memphis' vote, it's hard to tell. It's looking like he might go with taking Jerry to the final three instead of Keesha.

BB10 - Live Feeds - Dan is Back

Dan just came back into the house. He's talking but not mentioning Michelle. They keep blocking the feeds. He's mentioned the helicopter ride. He came back with three beach rocks which he gave to his fellow hamsters as gifts. Every time he says something interesting, they cut the feeds. Two helicopters, feeds cut. Saw a billboard ad for Gary Unmarried, new CBS series -- feeds cut. He mentioned two places set at the lunch and how he expected someone else to show, but no one did. He hasn't slipped not a once about Michelle.

Big Brother 10: 9/07 Show Live-Blogged from the East Coast

jackie's tv blog, Big Brother, BB10

I've been waiting for my latest live feeds post to go up over on TV Squad but I have no clue when an editor will get in over there. The house has been boring today -- Dan is gone for his trip and the others are napping a lot.

Meanwhile, the show has started here on the East Coast. I'll be constantly updating this post as it airs so you can expect typos and oddness. Everyone is welcome to chime in down in the comments!

Renny is about to be evicted once again. Waah. Renegades have to worry about Keesha, but bye-bye Renny. HOH comp again. The Sumo. Now to the black and white recaps. Sigh. Renny leaves AGAIN.

Day 59 finally. Keesha says Renny should have always been in color because she's a star. Now Dan has won HOH ... again. Argh, recapped stuff. Memphis says he'll hurt Dan if he puts him on the block again. Keesha is worried that Dan is closer to Memphis than her. Jerry is scrambling to think of a way to win the game.

Back to the Sumo. He is giving them the message about sitting on the information. Keesha looks frightened. Memphis is just confused. Dan seems the most interested. The Sumo stands up revealing a table. Dan asks him questions and seems to be the only one not backing up. An envelope is showing on the table. Dan sees it.

Dan snags the envelope when the Sumo gets up. Dan reads the message about a special luxury comp with the winner winning a trip outside the house which could impact the game. They guess a lot of things.

Keesha, Dan, and Memphis talk about getting Jerry out and how they have to win POV. Keesha looks miserable and very worried. She cries. She's missing Renny. She doesn't think the guys have her back.

Jerry tells Memphis that he couldn't play in HOH and plays for his stay in the house. Memphis tells us that he's not sure who the best person to take (with Dan and himself) to the final three -- Jerry or Keesha?

Ah, TED segment! Cool. Dan gets the others finally to see his HOH room. Now tons of Monica pictures. Memphis mentions the Ollie conspiracies. Dan's letter from his Dad mentions he can say a lot in a few words. His father mentioned the other three.

Night time and they're sleeping .. odd clues in the yard and a gorilla arrives. A femal contortionist. Spy music as the gorilla goes in. The gorilla goes to the DR and reveals he's Jessie.

They're opening the applications for BB11.

Back to the gorilla ... he's entering the rooms, jumping on the beds, going to the HOH room. He's pounding on the door and motioning for Dan to follow him. Jerry has a goofy grin on his face. They go to the yard with all the clues.

Dan reads the rules, the clues will uncover a common phrase which could be helpful in the game. Most of the clues will be covered one by one leaving only the ones needed. They have three hours and can make three guesses each.

I didn't like Jessie as a houseguest, but he's doing great as the gorilla. Oh, Jerry dings the bell -- Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil is his guess. Keesha dings the bell -- "where sleeping doings lie." Now, that's just odd. Jerry sees his guess clues being covered up so he knows his guess was wrong. He dings again -- Diamonds are a girl's best friend. What would that have to do with the show?

Keesha next guesses "blew it" due to the blueberry and the IT on the egg. The contortionist goes away. Jerry goes for his last guess. "A dog is a man's best friend." Again, nothing to do with BB. Dan says he won't go until he's sure. Jerry sees all of his clues covered up. There is a blueberry and egg with IT left. Keesha says "don't count your chickens before your eggs are hatched." Memphis isn't even trying.

The gorilla challenges Memphis. Dan finally goes with his guess on the two clues left - Bury the hatchet. Memphis says "fruitless eggsit." He did it for soemthing to say.


As the gorilla leaves, it makes the Jessie Voooot noise. Dan thinks it's him and they find the gorilla glove on Jessie's Memory Wall picture. They see on the plasma screen that one of them guessed the phrase right and won the trip ... then commercial. (But WE know Dan won.)

Yep, Dan with Bury the Hatchet. He goes to the DR. Can take one other person -- current housemates or a jury member of his choice to go on a private beach helicopter trip. He is considering a jury member. He thinks Michelle. Then he decides Michelle. He's not telling the others he's taking a jury member. He tells them the private beach for a day, tells them he can pick one of them or go by himself. He said he doesn't want to create anomosity in the house, so he'll go alone.

Jerry is surprised Dan isn't taking Memphis. Dan knows Jerry is suspicious and yells to us from the DR about it. Memphis and Dan discuss nominations. They need an exit plan if Keesha or Jerry win the veto. Memphis himself thinks the safest bet is if he himself goes on the block.

Nominations -- Jerry is sure he'll be nominated. Keesha is worried. The sole key removed belongs to Keesha. Sure enough, Memphis and Jerry are on the block. Dan tells them that it's tough to nominate anyone, but this POV will be the battle of the ages. Jerry actually thinks Memphis is upset and he can use Memphis to go to the end. Keesha thinks that Dan might actually keep her instead of Memphis.

Big Brother 10 Live Feeds Into Sunday Dawn

jackie's tv blog, Big Brother, BB!0

Graphic arteest Zoetawny has Dan making his own platinum Power of Veto.

Yes, I weathered the storm fine here. Across the street and down a few buildings a tree fell down on someone's parked car. She didn't fare all that well, but at least the tree didn't hit an occupied car driving by. This morning is sunny and a bit leaf and twig littered. And I had no need for the oil lamp. My elevator is still working, too! Even a flicker of the power shuts that down until someone with a key to the Magic Kingdom in the basement (across from the laundry room) can come to flick a switch. We had a lot of rain. But it's been pretty dry here, so the ground absorbed it well. The wind was so-so. I have an old-fashioned chrome exhaust fan in my kitchen. When the winds are really bad, the flap to the fan vent slams open and shut. That didn't happen a lot last night here.

But the houseguests continued to be boring last night, so I decided to gather stuff for an update. Here's the skinny:
  • Dan and Memphis continued to list the pros and cons of taking either Jerry or Keesha into the final three. I think they're really underestimating Jerry's sometimes strength in comps and the possibility he might get odd votes from the jury just based on his age and making it through to the end (if he gets that far). Of course, I'd prefer they stay loyal to Keesha, but they aren't asking me. She's been freezing on comps lately -- I don't think she'd be much more of a threat than Jerry.
  • Without Renny, Jerry is the main cook. Ew. A man who doesn't wash his hands after using the bathroom. Ew.
  • Keesha is very nervous. She asked Dan if he would tell her if Memphis wasn't going to keep her.
  • Dan later mocked Keesha's question to Memphis. I should make note that Memphis said earlier that if he decides to vote her out, he wants to tell her ahead of time.
  • Dan found out that he would be taken by a private helicopter for his day at the beach.
  • The BB voice randomly announced that 7-inch records were played at 45 revolutions per minute. Jackie announces that she still has her collection of 45 RPM records (and technology to play them).
  • Dan fed Ted the spider more moths.
  • They talked about how bored they are -- and so am I with them.
  • Keesha told Dan and Memphis that Jerry told her he's ready to go home. (He did say it.)
  • Dan talked about the HOH room always having condoms in it. They then wondered about April and Ollie. (Not that they ever used the condoms!)
  • Memphis wants to take Jerry's $4,000 to keep him this week.
  • Keesha and Dan felt sorry for Jerry as he's all alone so much and really tries to help, as in his cooking dinner, etc.
  • Memphis thinks Jerry brags too much. He's 75, you know. Oh, and he has three refrigerators at home.
  • When Keesha told Dan and Memphis they leave her out of things a lot, they said it was because she hangs out with Jerry too much.
  • Memphis said that April is the Crypt Keeper in the Jury House.
  • Keesha outright asked Memphis if he was going to vote her out and he told her no.
  • All are still asleep as I post this and Dan hasn't been whisked away yet.

BB10 and Hanna


This is a quadcam screen shot I took moments ago. Dan and Memphis are playing chess on all four cameras and not talking at all. BORING. I have had an update sitting in Pending awaiting an editor to come along at TV Squad for some time now, but I'm not sure when it will go up. There isn't a huge amount of news anyway. Memphis and Dan are still uncertain who they will vote out this week.

In Hanna news, I'm under a tropical storm warning and flood warnings here. The coast is getting rough, but since I'm about ten or twelve miles from the nearest shore point, it's not going to do erosion here! It's been raining steady, some trees down, and lots of street flooding so far and we haven't had the brunt with the heavier winds yet. I don't have to go anywhere and as long as my power stays on, I'm content to sit here with the rain coming down outside. I enjoy storms. The nearest stream (Green Brook) is a couple of blocks away -- it would take a lot more rain than expected to get that to come my way. So, I'm in for a cozy rainy evening. Heck, if the power goes out, my stove is gas and I have an oil lamp and flashlights. :-)

Big Brother 10 Live Feeds Bulletin - Power of Veto


What's that necklace Memphis is wearing? Yep, Memphis has won the Power of Veto. Something to do with stairs and questions.

Big Brother 10: Nominations



The feeds were blocked for a long time. When they returned, it looks like Jerry and Memphis are on the block much as Dan had mentioned earlier. I confirmed it when they were talking about how often Jerry has been on the block and Keesha thanked Dan for not putting her up.

They don't know when the POV comp will be held, but have been on indoor lockdown.

BB10: Luxury Comp Screen Caps

UPDATE 4:51 PM ET -- Confirmed, Dan won the luxury. He's still in the house now and bummed because he has to pick someone to go with him. He claims they told him he was going to a private beach. They just went on outdoor lockdown. Ban said he had options -- pick someone to go with him or go by himself. He said he didn't want to create any issues in the house, so said he would go alone. He's thinking that could be a mistake. He's not sure if it's overnight or not.

UPDATE 4:38 PM ET -- It sounds like Dan won the luxury. Memphis and Keesha are talking about how cool it will be for "him." Dan is still missing on the feeds. Memphis also mentioned something about Keesha has a 50/50 chance. Hmmm ...

UPDATE 4:28 PM ET -- Feeds back. Hmmm ... I'm not seeing Dan. Keesha was feeding the fish, Memphis making an omelet, Jerry resting. Memphis mumbled something about having no idea. No talk, no mention of Dan or sight of him. Hmmm...

UPDATE 3:48 PM ET -- Feeds back. They're talking about Jessie being the one in the gorilla suit, still don't know who won or what.

These are some screen caps I took of the clues in the luxury comp. Unfortunately, I was stuck on a conference call for work for more than an hour and a half, so I'm updating now. Yes, I took the screen caps while on the call, but since they're not paying me to be on the call ...! The gorilla covered each clue one by one. The houseguests have to ring in, then report to the Diary Room what they think the puzzle means. Jerry has used his three times and has none left. Memphis hasn't gone there once yet if I'm not mistaken. None are confident. Nor am I.

Ohhh ... Jerry just asked one of the producers if he could take his sweater off. Maybe BB heard we don't want to see his guns hanging out!

UPDATE: 3:07 PM ET -- A producer just told them they have five more minutes and it won't hurt to guess. Keesha and Jerry have no more guesses left. Dan is using his last guess.















BB10: Live Feeds Quickie Update


A gorilla woke everyone up and made them go into the backyard. We've had fish, now this is on quad cam -- note the elephant in the yard --


They're trying to figure it out, the gorilla is still pacing about. Jerry got called to the DR and we have fishcam again.


The gorilla covers up a plane or something in the yard. Apparently the houseguests ring a bell when they think they know something, then get called to the DR. Keesha went, Jerry rang again, then got called again. They seem to be looking for clues, but they're almost as confused as I am.

Big Brother 10: Live Feeds Into Friday Dawn


The bad part about when things get down to a small group in the house is that they tend to get boring. Sure, the Sumo was different. But since they got the clue telling them that there would be a luxury comp, it's been a lot of nothing since.
  • Since all they know from the clue which was under the Sumo is that the winner will be awarded an amazing trip which could impact the game, they're speculating.
  • They seem to think it's logical that one could go to Japan. @@
  • At other times they think it's an outing to a Japanese restaurant. But how could that impact the game?
  • Jerry tried to favor himself with Dan by telling him he always backed the HOH and voted they way they wanted.
  • The grill they got a few days ago was taken out for the HOH comp set up and not returned.
  • Three cards are missing from their deck of cards. Is it a clue? They want a new deck or the three cards back.
  • Memphis is worried that if Keesha wins POV, she'll vote him out. He thinks he would be safe if Jerry won it.
  • Jerry worked on Memphis telling him that the jury members have said if a woman makes it to the end, they'll vote for her to win.
  • Keesha is sure that if Jerry gets the veto, she's gone.
  • Dan's HOH room had lots of Monica pictures. Since he's a plant and she's fake, they were probably easy to PhotoShop. ;-)
  • Keesha cried all alone.
  • From a talk with Dan and Memphis, it looks like Dan might put Memphis and Jerry on the block. But nothing concrete.
  • They're all asleep as I post this.

Big Brother 10: Live Feeds and the Sumo


Nah, Jerry isn't the Sumo, nor did he do well with the Sumo. But he has sleeves! Yay! Here's what happened after the live show ended:
  • Dan was the only one really asking questions of the Sumo -- he asks if he wants something to eat and wrestling questions.
  • When the Sumo stood, Dan grabbed an envelope he had been sitting on. The note inside gave congratulations and said there will be a special luxury comp in which the winner will take a trip and it would impact the game.
  • Sumo Man left through the storage room.
  • So they're all still kind of clueless.
  • They're even up to thinking the winner might take a trip to Japan. Suuuure ...
  • Dan and Memphis did their little Renegades handshake thing.
  • Keesha was alone for a while, but then joined them. Then she said they should get together with Jerry. She felt bad that he was all alone.
  • Jerry cooked pizza and begged BB hoarsely for beer, a man's drink. He said that they had wine for the women last night.
  • Beside speculating on what the luxury comp is, they also now seem to understand the true timeline and when the show will end.
  • They're all getting along.
  • They're boring until we find out more about the luxury comp.

Big Brother 10: 9/04 Show Live-Blogged from the East Coast

jackie's tv blog, Big Brother, BB10

The show has started here on the East Coast. I'll be constantly updating this post as I watch. Typos are expected. Oops! Everyone is welcome to join in with their thoughts in the comments! Hamsters ready?

Recap, recap. Jerry's sights are set on Dan, but the Renegades want to survivr. Memphis maes the deal with Jerry. Nominations -- Dan and Keesha. Renny is worried.

Ohh, Julie is waering an off-white khaki kinda pantsuit. Veto meeting in B&W, then we're color. Renny thinks Jerry wants to split up her and Keesha. Keesha doesn't want to lose Renny, but she doesn't want to leave either. Jerry thinks Memphis screwed him over. Betrayal should not go unpunished. I stand alone in the house again.

Dan shouts at us from the DR about being happy.

Jerry wants to talk to Keesha. They go to HOH. Jerry thinks the veto showed where the loyalties lie and Dan/Memphis are together. Jerry tells her he wants her to stay in the game -- he's her shot at the half-million. He can be a tremendous advantage to her -- Memphis has an agreement with everybody.

Renny and Keesha talk -- Renny says that Dan was taken off the block by Memohis for good reason, they're together. Jerry tells Dan that Memphis thinks he can beat him (Dan) if he goes to the finals. Jerry tells Dan he's his way to the half-million. Memphis betrayed me, everyone has.

Dan and Keesha compare Jerry notes. Memphis scares them. He says Jerry didn't approach him. Memphis denies having a deal with everyone in the house. He does have a deal with both of them, though. Dan is wary of Keesha.

Renny and Keesha are now leery of the two. Keesha thinks she was immature before. Renny gets emotional. Keesha really really thinks a lot of Renny.

Julie tells us Memphis has played a cool and calculating game, but is there more? Dan and Memphis talk. Memphis thinks he needs to be a better boyfriend. He thinks he takes the relationship for granted. His girlfriend Ashley (live together), she feel in love with the charming guy. She seems to really think a lot of him, caring and compassionate. He had father issues, now to the womanizer bit. 3 years together. He wants to go to the next level.

Ashley hopes he'll be husband material someday. Jury house and live vote/eviction coming up after commercial.

To the living room -- Julie congrats Jerry on HOH, they run the pool clip. He calls it a senior moment, but says he's fine. Dan turned 25 -- teasing Renny, why does she bring out prankster? He says she reminds him of his mother and he does it because he likes her.

Julie talks to Jerry in HOH - No love lost w/you and memphis. Why trust him? I was running out of bodies, Julie. Be like velcro and stick around a while. Who would he like to see next to him -- Keesha. Strategic, the other two are like glue, must win POV and HOH.

Jury house -- Libra wanted to see April come in and DID.Then Michelle comes in. Both April and Michelle are dead set5 against Keesha. They're watching Dan's veto meeting. Michelle can't stand to look at Dan. Ollie comes. April agrees to be his girlfriend. @@

Live vte time -- chat to two nominees -- Renny gives Keesha accolades, fighter, proud to make it this far, journey will change your life, that kind of money take the person you feel you can win against. Keesha -- loves Renny, doesn't know what she would have done without her, amazing person. Outstanding group, best of luck.

Live voting -- votes are to evict --
Memphis - Renny
Dan - Renny

She holds her head high, hugs all. Big cheers from the audience for her, more than I've seen. In the house, Keesha is upset -- hardest person to watch go. Subdued mood. This time no one looks happy.

Julie -- First time since week one, why you and not Keesha. Didn't win POV to save myself, Colonel didn't protect her. Goodbye messages. -- Dan -- You're the caretaker, admirable, lot of life in house, loving and caring. Jerry - Wonders w/food. Memphis - thumbs down from Renny as he says noce things. Keesha cries and says she's amazingly funny and will always be in her heart.

HG get shown the images from previous comps they saw earlier today. They head to the yard where they're on a round platform with partitions for each of them.

Freeze frame - Dan and Memphis right.
They step back for false, forward for true. Dan takes lead by one. Dan is leading, Memphis one behind. Dan 5, Memphis, 4, Keesha doing horrible. Dan still in lead, last question. Dan is sure he has it and wins HOH! 7 points, Keesha 1, Memphis 5.

Hmmm ... there seems to be a Sumo wrestler or Samurai in the living room waiting for the HG. And we're in commercial.

Holds clue to luxury comp with a twist which could change the game. Tuesday live show final HOH comp, Thursday live too.

The sumo wrestler is sitting on a gold box and the clue (in Japanese with English subtitle for us) is "I am sitting on the information you want."

BB10: Latest Live Feeds

jackie's tv blog, Big Brother, BB!0

While Zoetawny treats us to Jerry falling in the pool, my latest live feeds report is up over on TV Squad.

I'll be back at 8 PM ET to post the live-blog entry for tonight's show! I hope to see you there. I made cupcakes.

Big Brother 10: Live Feeds Into Thursday Dawn




See, when there isn't much to report, I can fill the space in with screen caps I took last night! Here's the latest from the Big Brother House of Bad Wardrobes:
  • Memphis, Keesha, and Renny talked about how Dan never changes his clothes ... and never washes them, either. Ew.
  • Memphis wants to destroy Jerry's t-shirts with the cut-off sleeves.
  • Renny walked in on Jerry as he was urinating, then mimicked him one hand on the hip off and on.
  • Jerry screamed for beer even though BB gave them wine.
  • Jerry said that he wrote nice things about them all in his HOH blog. I guess we'll see about that!
  • Renny told Keesha she shouldn't worry about packing because she (Keesha) won't be going home. Keesha packed anyway. Renny packed earlier.
  • The Diary Room called them in one by one.
  • Jerry keeps scaring Keesha by reminding her there could be a tie vote.
  • Keesha feels guilty that she didn't win POV -- if she had, she could have saved herself and Renny with her vote. If it were Dan and Renny or Memphis on the block, Jerry would definitely vote Dan out in a tiebreaker.
  • But it wasn't meant to be.
  • Memphis told Keesha he likes the lose-lose situation for Jerry this week. He can't play for HOH and they can't let him win POV.
  • All are asleep as I post this.

Big Brother 10: Live Feeds into Wednesday Evening



How's this for excitement? For the longest time, Dan and Memphis played chess barely speaking on two feeds and Jerry napped on the other two. The big news of the evening is that they did another Craig Ferguson spot tonight. Craig's probably going to be confused where everyone went during his two weeks of vacation. Here are some other noteworthy (or not) happenings in the house this evening:
  • Both Keesha and Memphis are creeped out by the way Jerry stares at them. I think I would be, too.
  • Jerry spied on them some more with the spycam in the HOH room. I wonder if they could feel his eyes watching them.
  • Renny read the bible, Jerry napped, and the guys played chess. I think Keesha was napping off camera at the time. It all made me want to nap!
  • Renny gave Dan a few cooking tips.
  • Jerry droned on about investing money and his own investments.
  • Renny packed.
  • Memphis picked. His nose, that is.
  • They did the Ferguson spot and apparently all just wanted it over with and were irritable by the end of it.
  • Yawn.
  • Ferguson wil be a bit delayed here because the Republican National Convention ran over. I love it -- Palin's speech ended a few minutes ago and now they're replaying it on the local news. Well, duh ... do they think they're Big Brother with the recaps or something?

TV Squad Doings


Nah, this photo has nothing to do with TV Squad. I just found it interesting that the NYC X-Men have taken over the train station -- graffiti all over the place.

I have a new Reality TV Newsy Bits column I'm trying to get as a regular feature over on TV Squad. Once BB stops, I'll also go back to the more general TV Newsy Bits here with the links and all. But I want to see if I can get the weekly going there. Please check it out!

Plus, my full review/recap of last night's BB episode is up over at TVS, too.

Welp, I'm off to go exercise the knee. Fun never ends.

UPDATE 5:45 PM ET: My latest live feeds report is up now on TV Squad. The house is boring today, grr. As for me, I think I pulled a muscle in my leg. I shouldn't be allowed on exercise equipment. I must put ice on it. The knee is okay, though.

Yep, graphic artist Zoetawny wants Renny to keep on trucking. Unfortunately, I think we'll see her get the truck right out of there this week. Here's the latest from that Big Brother House of the Final Five:
  • Renny gave Jerry a haircut. Maybe now she'll remember that bald top!
  • They're bored. I'm bored.
  • Keesha told Renny and Memphis that Jerry was staring at her creepy-like.
  • Memphis said he never used to say "dude" and he has to stop saying it.
  • Yes, he does. The "dude" drove me crazy when they were feeding moths to the spider the other night. It's better than Michelle using the f word every other word, but ...!
  • Memphis told Dan that Keesha isn't his type for dating.
  • Jerry talked to himself in the HOH room. He did his Muttley laugh to himself, too.
  • He was kind of sad.
  • And boring.
  • BB gave them alcohol.
  • Dan and Memphis hung Keesha's bras on a lamp and giggled a lot. Sort of like a panty raid operation.
  • Dan and Memphis named the spider "Ted" and spent time feeding him again.
  • Dan (again) jumped out at Keesha to scare her. It worked.
  • Then Memphis scared her.
  • Renny told Keesha that if she (Keesha) hadn't been close to Memphis in the game, he would have been gone long ago.
  • All are asleep as I post this.

Big Brother 10 - 9/02 Show Live-Blogged from the East Coast

jackie's tv blog, Big Brother, BB10

The show has started here on the East Coast. I'll be constantly updating this entry as it airs. Please forgive any typos! Everyone is welcome to chime in with your thoughts in comments!

Recaps and pushing Jerry as the 75-year-old ex-Marine. Into the Renegades. Jerry and Memphis agree on the final two, Memphis and Keesha agree to be the final two. Nominations ... again.

Good, into color and it's Day 53. Dan is projecting in the DR again -- happy that both Renegades aren't on the block. Jerry tells us Keesha is just the pawn. She doesn't feel safe although Memphis is pretty confident. He wants to get rid of Renny this week.

Both Dan and Keesha are taking being on the block okay. Dan tells her that they can both stay there if a certain person wins veto. Keesha thinks that Renny and Memphis will fight hard for the veto to keep themselves safe.

Dan talks to Jerry, says he has no hard feelings. Jerry tells him, "It would be naive to believe you all love me for me." Jerry tells us that he was covering the fact that he has an agreement with Memphis.

Renny and Jerry talk. He tells her it all depends on POV -- they could pull Dan and decide to send Keesha or her home. Renny tells Keesha that she'd (Renny) would go home if the veto is used to save Dan. Renny doesn't think it's looking too good for her right now.

Snicker ... Jerry fell in the pool while trying to read skywriting from a plane. Jerry and Memphis confirm their deal for the final two, as does he also confirm with Keesha. Now he's onto Dan for the final two, too!

While Memphis gets cocky, Dan likes to aggravate Renny. He mimics her. She tells us Dan has a few quirks I don't understand and a few behaviors that are questionable. She then tries to strangle him.

Dan is getting on Renny's nerves. She tells us she wants him to go home. Memphis isn't sure why Dan keeps pushing Renny's buttons, but one of them need to win POV to send her home.

Time for the veto comp -- individual rooms, called one at a time. Dan is first Rockabye Veto. Baby pictures, two HG make up the baby's face. Parents of all six babies shortest amount of time wins. Those are some ugly babies! Jerry was up next. He's wearing a Texas A&M shirt.

Memphis up next. He's racing! He thinks he did well, but could have done better. Renny thinks she has to win because she believes Memphis and Dan have a deal to go to the end. Heh. She liked her own baby pic with Jessie. ACK! How can she get Jerry wrong with the bald head? Too much time wasted!

Keesha looks almost frightened of the images. She wants the POV so bad ... Steven and me look like a gorilla! We should never have kids together.

Comp over ... they all want to win. Renny 23:32, Jerry 8:01, Dan 2:58, Memphis 2:50, Keesha 5:16. Memphis wins! Jerry should try to emote while reading cue cards.

Memphis says he has to think of his next step. Jerry hopes Memphis keeps his word and lets the nominations remain the same. Keesj is upset because she didn't win -- she thinks she's going home.

Memphis tells Dan if he pulls him off the block, he has to stop all the crazy antics. Memphis tells us that he's not sure that he can trust Dan. He makes Dan promise that if he (Dan) wins HOH, he can't put him on the block. Dan promises. Memphis tells us he doesn't want to piss anyone off.

Keesah and Renny talk. Keesha thinks he's a little snake and will throw them under the bus. Renny doesn't think Memphis wants to get rid of Keesha. So, Keesha approaches Memphis directely. He tells heer she will be with them next week. He tells her that Dan has to come off the block and that's the only way they can secure final three. Keesha doesn't trust Dan. Memphis tells her he won't vote her out.

Renny told Memphis that she knows people are talking about her. He avoids the issue and says no one is talking about her. Memphis assured Jerry that he will take him to the final two. He tells Jerry that he has another issue in the house. Jerry tells him that they can take care of Renny next week. He thinks Dan is a more dangerous player.

Time for the veto meeting. Memphis is worried about all of his deals, hopes he picks the right fork in the road. Renny thinks Dan needs to go. Jerry says if Memphis pulls Dan off the block, he no longer has an alliance with him.

Dan: Don't have a lot to say, 25th birthdsay, great gift, no hard feelings.
Keesha: Knows it's hard, all four have had each other's back, no hard feelings, won't ask you to choose.

Memphis: I made a decision to ... use the power of veto. Looking out for what's best for me, no hard feelings, use it on Dan. Jerry has no choice but to put Renny on the block.

Renny tells us that she still has fight in her. Jerry is hurt by Memphis and will do something in retribution. Memphis tells us that he has to keep assuring Jerry that they're the final two. Next ep - Jury house!

BB10: Latest Live Feeds

My latest Big Brother 10 live feeds report is up over on TV Squad.

And, of course, I'll be posting the live-blogging post here for tonight's episode at 9:00 PM ET. You're all welcome to the party!

Big Brother 10: Live Feeds Into Tuesday Morning



Yes, I'm showing you some of the excitement of the evening right in the screen caps! Here's what's been happening in the Big Brother House of I Don't Like Spiders and Snakes:
  • Renny and Keesha think it's obvious that Jerry wants to take Memphis into the final two.
  • BB called an indoor lockdown -- Keesha and Renny started playing cards in the kitchen and the others were napping.
  • Surprise! BB gave them a grill. They also got a new hose, a flag, and while they were outside looking at the stuff, BB gave them all kinds of food for the grill.
  • At one point, Jerry screamed something about his body was shutting down and he couldn't take it anymore. It was in context to nothing.
  • A bit later, Jerry was saying how much they needed wine and beer.
  • Keesha and Memphis think that if Jerry wons POV, he'd do what he can to get Dan out over them..
  • Memphis, Keesha, and Renny talked about how mold is growing on Dan's bathing suit. Renny wants to steal it and wash it.
  • Jerry wondered if his reputation will remain intact when he leaves the house. Renny scoffed at him.
  • They spread the big cards out on the coffee table and played a game turning them over and matching the numbers.
  • Then the excitement started -- Memphis and Dan saw a huge spider in the backyard. They ran around catching moths and throwing them into the spider's web. Sure enough, the spider went after the prey every time.
  • Memphis, Renny, and Keesha talked about how Jerry picks his nose and they think he rubs his finds on the bean bag chair.
  • Dan came in and sat in the bean bag chair. The other three cracked up.
  • All are in bed as I post this.

BB10: Latest Live Feeds

My latest live feeds report is up over on TV Squad.

Right now Keesha and Renny are talking about how bored they are. I think the others may be sleeping.

8:30 PM ET UPDATE -- Big excitement. BB gave them a grill, goodies to cook, and a flag for Labor Day.


BB10: POV Meeting News

As expected, Memphis saved Dan with the veto. It's now Renny and Keesha on the block.

Big Brother 10: Live Feeds Into Monday Dawn



Keesha and Memphis were hanging out last night as I took these screen caps. Later today will be the big veto meeting. They should do it before Renny wastes her time cooking her friends a yummy dinner! Here's the latest from the Big Brother House of Biting Betrayals:
  • Renny again asked Keesha if she thought Memphis would use the veto. Keesha again (lied) said she didn't know.
  • When Renny finally asked Memphis himself if he was going to use the veto, he told her he hasn't decided yet (lie).
  • They played with the arts and crafts, making things out of Play-Doh while Renny baked a birthday cake for Dan.
  • Jerry wanted everyone to play cards.
  • The PoV comp had morphs of their baby pictures.
  • Keesha and Memphis talked about going into the final three with Jerry. Gee, it was a lot like when Dan and Memphis talked about going into the final three with Jerry.
  • Renny accused Jerry of talking about everyone in the house. He said she has, too! Ohhh ... excitement.
  • That put Renny on a Jerry trashtalk streak.
  • Dan still hides and leaps out at people. It still works.
  • Renny, Memphis, Dan, and Keesha ran all around the house chasing each other, tickling each other, and generally rough-housing.
  • Jerry, alone again naturally, went to bed.
  • Eventually the others headed to bed as well. They're all asleep as I post this.
