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.

BB10 Latest Live Feeds

My latest live feeds report is up on TV Squad. I'll get a live-blogging post for tonight's show up here at 9 PM ET and later on I will have my full review/recap of tonight's episode posted on TVS.

BB10: Renny Imitating Jerry's POV Speech

I didn't record it. But since folks were asking for it, I found this on YouTube.

Basically OFF TOPIC: Some TV Ramblings and Life Stuff

Yep, that's me - a fly on the leaf of life ... or something to that effect. I know I'm akin to a fly on the wall of the Big Brother 10 house, but ...! While this post contains some TV stuff, it's mostly off topic, so read on at your own risk. (Yes, I took this photo a while ago.)

I've been watching a lot of television since I'm around home so much this summer. I was a bit irked at a show I saw on truTV during the wee hours a few nights ago. It was something about psychics solving cases. Wow, did they skew the case. It happens that I'm familiar with the case on the show -- a killer up in Albany when I was still living there. Lemuel Smith killed two people in a religious shop, then murdered a woman in her car at the Colonie Center mall. I happened to catch a shoplifter at my workplace just when they discovered the body and the shoplifter ended up going free due to it. Psychics did not solve the murders -- police work and a police dog did. They also didn't mention that Smith went on to murder a female guard at Green Haven prison after being incarcerated. By that time I was living in that area! What a crock the show is!

On another truTV show, I think it was one of the Cold Cases or Forensic Files ones, I noticed the initial screen with text had police department spelled as "police deptartment." Who does these things? Maybe it was American Justice. It was a show with actor Brian Denehy (sp?) hosting. Whatever. Very unprofessional. If they need a proofreader, I'm available! Although I'm lenient with online stuff, it really bothers me to see stupid mistakes on professional broadcasts from the local news to shows like this to commercials.

In other TV stuff -- I saw an episode of I Want to Work for Diddy. Yikes! It's like The Apprentice on meth or something! I don't want to work for Diddy. I don't have the energy and I wouldn't put that much effort into working for anyone other than myself.

In personal stuff -- my across the hall neighbor was cooking something the other night (at 3:30 in the morning, mind you). For some reason he decided to go to the supermarket at that hour. When he returned home, he opened his door and smoke poured out setting off the apartment building's fire alarm. I went to my door and smelled smoke, but my door wasn't hot, so I opened it. He was in the hallway gasping for air, but told me there was no fire -- just food in the oven and he put it in the sink. I stuck towels under my door and was thankful I didn't have to pack up the cat and go outside in the middle of the night. Then I peeped out my peephole at cute firemen who came and set up big fans. Dang, if I burn food, I will NOT open my door and set off the main alarm! But I've never seen such smoke -- I couldn't even see across his living room. I hope he never does that again.

In health stuff -- I heard back from Blue Cross Blue Shield. Sigh. Even if it's deemed medically necessary (as it is in my case), they will not pay for any more physical therapy than the calendar limit of 20 visits a year no matter the situation or even if there's more than one surgery, etc. I haven't told my PT yet. I have an appointment on Wednesday, will tell him then, and pay him for my two uncovered visits. I guess I'll have to quit the PT even though my new knee needs it. My next follow-up with the orthopedic surgeon is this Thursday and I'll let him know it was denied. I still have some strength and balance issues, along with pain now and then. They increased my dosage of Coumadin/Warfarin this past week. I'm increasingly tired once again this past week. It has to be related.

With the exception of one teeny thing, I've been enjoying my Thursday outing routine of late. You see, that's my blood draw day for my Coumadin dosage. (That's the teeny thing I don't like.) In the beginning, I was depending on Union County Paratransit to take me to the next town over. But I found they really aren't all too dependable. So, for the last several weeks, I've been walking to the train station to catch the train there. It's a bit shy of a half-mile walk.

On the way, I first stop at the Jamaican store I used to frequent a lot in my travels. The counter man is always happy to see me and hear how I'm doing. But, no ... I don't buy any chicken feet or curried goat. Then I stop in at the corner store near the station and visit with the Indian couple who run it -- they were kind enough to deliver when I was housebound. I then stop quickly at the Greek donut shop next door to them, usually getting just a bottle of water and checking in because I know I have calories planned ahead. It's always great to see these business owners and they're very pleased with my progress. I love the diversity of the bunch and they think of me as a friend more than just a customer. It's a good feeling.

Then I go to the train station, looking for Roofus the cat as I get there. So far no sightings, but I noticed they recently tarred his main travel roof. That and the heat of the day might be why I'm not seeing him. Then, as I travel on the train, I visit with my conductor friends on NJ Transit who, like the shopkeepers, seem to be very happy to see me and make me feel good about my progress.

Once in town near LabCorp (my vampires), I usually sit and finish my bottle of water in a teensy park with a huge clock and shade trees. I sit on a "Fanny Wood Day Committee" bench. Then it's off to my quarter-mile walk for the blood draw. I have a standing order there and once they even sneaked me in when they had to close for lunch.

Then it's calorie time on the way back to the train station. I stop in each week for my treat at Dunkin' Donuts -- a small coffee Coolata with no whipped cream and either a breakfast sandwich or donut. I sit, sip, and leisurely read the paper. I never had time for that in my life during work days! From there I take the train further east one stop to Westfield where I do any banking I might have to do and stop in at Trader Joe's and/or Stop and Shop. From there I take the bus home which stops right in front of my apartment building. (No, that bus doesn't stop near my vampires -- it's the Dunellen/Manhattan bus.)

All in all, I look forward to my Thursday outings as of late. It's good exercise for my knee and, with the exception of the blood draw itself, I find it so pleasant and peaceful. Plus, I like coffee Coolatas!

Big Brother 10: Live Feeds Into the Dawn - Tuesday 8/12

Renny doing her midget dance.

Heck, even Michelle called her a "keeper" for it (see video at bottom). I can only hope it's true. With the exception of her friendship with Keesha, Renny is one of the few I like in the house. I'd love to see Dan and Renny at the end. Here's the happenings from that Big Brother House of Silly Renny and Unstable Jerry:

• Jerry's speech at the veto meeting continued to be a topic of conversation. Michelle and Keesha said Jerry had his facts screwed up. Ollie is still in shock that Jerry went as far as he did. No one in the house agrees with anything Jerry said, yet Jerry is still oh-so-proud that he "got it off his chest."
• Memphis and Dan talked -- if Jerry ends up on the block, he's sure to go home (or, actually, sequester at this point).
• Memphis, Renny, and Keesha mentioned that April and Ollie latch onto the HOH no matter who's there.
• Ollie said that Jerry told him that he wanted to make people think he was taking Libra off the block with his speech. (Note: he did not use the veto.)
• Michelle doesn't want to encourage Jerry's bad behavior and plans to say nothing if he asks what others think of his speech.
• Ollie is afraid of crows, has been since he was a child. Some came into the backyard and he ran inside freaking out. (I wonder if he knows a flock of crows is called a "murder.")
  
• Even April said that Jerry's speech was a personal attack on Dan and inappropriate.
• Michelle, April, and Ollie think Jerry has lost it and is overly paranoid.
• Memphis talked about squirrel hunting and Dan was reminded of Deliverance. Ah, so nice that some classic movies are still popular with the younger generation.
• Renny heard the conversation and said she won't eat rodents.
• Ollie thinks the winner of BB goes on Letterman. I think that hasn't happened in a few years, but maybe with the Ferguson bit the winner will probably go on there.
• Memphis thinks Renny can be so entertaining that she might be offered her own show.
• Ollie thinks that the audience will change their view of Jerry after seeing his POV speech. I think we changed it a week or two back.
• When Renny did her midget dance, Jerry told her she would be boycotted.
• Memphis likened being in the house as "taking acid and watching Groundhog Day over and over again." Keesha said it was like being locked in a mental institution and fighting to stay locked in there.
• When Michelle again brought up America's Player to Dan, he said Libra started that rumor.
• They counted the minutes until midnight when they could eat.
• Holly, Michelle's stuffed dog, had a rough time last night ... visited the hot tub.
• All are asleep as I post this.
  

BB10 - Latest Live Feeds

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

I'm watching Intervention. Very weird.

BB10 Live Feeds Video Snippets

There was a rare Diary Room leak today and here are some snippets of it:

BB10: Live Feeds Bulletin - Veto Ceremony

As expected, Jerry didn't use the veto.

Are you surprised?

BB10: Live Feeds Into Monday Morning

Renny and Dan on the patio last night.

My apologies for being a bit late with this report. I was up most of the night, then conked out around dawn without getting it written up. I think someone's feeding me rat poison or something. Here's the latest from that Big Brother House of a Leeching Lecherous Old Guy:

• Ollie told April she's mean. She thought he was joking. I think she definitely has a mean streak.
• Memphis didn't have to wear the onion garland for a week like I thought he did. He got to take it off last night.
• Libra told Dan that the only way that Ollie and April might make it to the end of the game is if they stage a fight -- the whole house knows they're a strong duo and need to be split up.
• Libra's worried that the show will edit her in a way that it will affect her children. I don't really think so. I can see where I wouldn't want her as MY mother because she's a very controlling person, but even though I'd just as soon see her leave this week, I don't think she's a horrible person or anything -- just annoying and controlling.
• As Libra talked a lot of small cordial talk with Dan, a bit of game talk now and then but nothing major, Renny and Keesha became suspicious because they were talking. Sheesh! Dan talks to everyone but Jerry!
• The next thing you know, Renny and Keesha get Memphis in on the suspicion. Is Dan in league with Ollie? He used to be an ally of Jerry! Grr ... obviously they should see that alliance came to a screeching halt!
• They still have America's Player suspicions with Dan, too. However, they'd have no idea it would just be a week. Renny said, "Perhaps America wanted Jessie out more than they wanted you out," to Memphis. Spot on, girl!
• Keesha keeps pressing Dan about the vote this week. She thinks he might want her out instead of Libra.
  
• When Michelle told Jerry she didn't want him brushing his teeth in the shower, he almost cried. Now, that's just weird ... both that he does it and that he teared up when asked not to do it.
• Michelle told Renny that Jessie told her that Dan was looking in the mirror as he cried and they hugged -- something odd about that struck Jessie.
• Renny is really thinking along the lines of Dan being AP.
• Michelle thinks America hates Libra because all of the questions asked of her on the live show have been negative.
• April told Ollie and Jerry that after Libra goes this week, it's Keesha next.
• April thinks that Keesha doesn't like her because she's prettier than Keesha is. @@
• Jerry called Memphis a "Judas goat" and said he leads the other goats to slaughter ... or something to that effect. Bizarre.
• Michelle thinks there might be a Libra/Dan conspiracy. (No, there isn't.)
• April thinks if Libra gets a vote to stay, it will be Dan.
• Libra had a talk with Keesha in which she apologized. When they said that BB said they were the "fruitiest group of houseguests," the feeds got blocked. Yep, yep ... Froot Loops, they are!
• Libra told Keesha she wants to ask BB if they can have her meet Barack Obama. Um, for some reason I think he probably has more important things to do than meeting Libra.
• As I get this posted, Renny and Jerry are sort of up and about.
  

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

I have a live feeds post yet to appear over on TVS and I'll be writing the full review/recap of tonight's show there, too. But in the meantime, the show has started here - finally after a golf delay. This post will be updates as it airs here on the East Coast -- please forgive any typos! Everyone is welcome to join in with comments, that's the best part of the live blog!

Recap City ... we have to see Jessie voted out again, of course. Wake up calls. Eww ... in the promo bit for the return of previous HG, Boogie needs anti-perspirant BAD.

Now Jessie is evicted once again. Michelle is angry in the DR and cries once again. We're in B&W. Keesha is proud of herself for pulling off the Jessie eviction. April is in shock. Dan thinks he's in an awkward position. Finally, Day 31 in color.

Libra is laughing, she's glad Jessie is gone. Jerry is looking angry. Dan is just looking uncomfortable. Jerry tells us Dan has disrespected him and nothing he can do will regain the respect. April's body language says it all -- arms crossed and pacing.

Now Michelle won HOH and they even captioned Jerry's "Screw you people." Michelle is triumphant and so is April. Dan tells us he never swore on his cross and took the cross off before the eviction. First time he's ever taken the chain off.

Keesha and Libra know they need to win POV. Jerry is following Michelle. Dan thinks he might be able to buy a week by acting like he's in shame. Now Renny and Michelle are yelling at each other over something entirely stupid. Michelle yells at Libra and Keesha that they're hiding. April and Libra are screaming. Jerry just keeps piping up with stupidity and namecalling like he's 12 years old.

Now they bring up Dan who's hiding with a pillow over his head. They knock his religion and Michelle even doubts he's a teacher. Dan overhears it from the bedroom. Memphis pretty much tells us they've gone too far.

Focus on DOOM on the wall as Dan hides with Memphis approaching. Memphis wants Dan to be safe this week. Dan promises he won't blow up. Memphis thinks Dan has earned his trust by voting for him to stay last week. So Memphis talks to Michelle. Memphis wants to play his old alliance and save Dan, too.

Michelle is still wearing her unitard. She goes to Dan and asks him if he's a schoolteacher. Dan gives her weak excuses for his vote. Michelle told him that you have to lie, cheat, and steal in the game but not for people like that. He told her he was told he'd be on the block. I love his smiles to the camera after people leave.

Libra and Michelle are talking about how it's just a game. Libra says Michelle's family is probably proud of her. HOH room -- all come up. Memphis thinks April is being fake with praise. Letter from home -- her brother is proud of her. Everyone looks touched. Renny congratulates her, then leaves in tears. Libra and Keesha hug her, then leave. Renny cries and honks. She was thinking of her own family. Dan came in to console her.

Dan leaves and Keesha comes in. But back in the HOH room, Jerry says he'll never talk to Dan again. Jerry vows to make the sign of the cross at him. Ollie just looks dazed as Michelle, April, and Jerry trashtalk Dan, then Libra.

Time for the food comp! Game show setting. "In the News -- Big Brother Houseguests return" Brian is the host. They have to decide if outside news is right or not, then since his first alliances didn't work out a new one -- George, Bunky, Amy, Jun, Jase, Janelle (Ollie stood), Boogie, Jen, Mattie. PlaYING FOR FOOD, RETURNING hg PLAY FOR CASH.

mONDAY - Dan -- Chooses Boogie - Brett Farve story about being a Jet -- Dan doesn't think so. No food for Monday. HG shocked. Boogie got $1,000

Tuesday - Renny - Picks Jen - Economy - National average gas over $6.00, Jen says no. Renny trusts her. They get food for Tuesday.

Wednesday - Jerry picks Janelle - Health - Jessie offered the cover of Muscle and Fitness -- Hehe - Janelle says false no offer and he's not that cute. Jerry disagrees with her, no food. Janelle gets $1,000

Playing for a grill - Memphis picks Amy - World News - Chinese officals banned bald and smelly cab drivers, Amy makes up an obviously fake story It's in the news, no grill.

Thursday - Ollie picks up Matt - Science - Prevent rainfall. Matt tells of a laser made in China -- Ollie disagrees. It's in the news, no food.

Friday -- Libra chooses Bunky -- Cheech and Chong tour -- they are and she's wrong. No food.

Feast - Michelle picks Jase - Fake earthquake - It's not in the news, they get feast.

April goes for George -- Spears a country album -- Not in news. (Saturday)

Keesha chooses Jun - Paris urges people not to vote for Bush -- Keesha got it right for Sunday.

Slop five out of seven days.

Memphis talks to Michelle. He's concerned about the alliance she has with Ollie, April, and Jerry. He tells her that he has no alliance. He's not with Keesha, Libra, or Rennie. Memphis tells her he doesn't think Dan has an alliance. She's still mad at Dan. Memphis tells her he's sure she'll do the right thing.

Memphis talks to Keesha and Libra. He's anti-April and they think he should try to put it in Michelle's head that April put Jessie on the block. Meanwhile, Rennie goes to the HOH room. She tries to bring up April putting Jessie up on the block. Renny says that April shouldn't have put Jessie up, then didn't protect him.

Nominations today - Memphis is trying to be there for Michelle and isn't worried. Rennie wants April up. Dan is pretty sure he'll go on the block. Libra knows she's the biggest target. Michelle tells us the people she's nominating need to be out of the house, been there too long and showed their cards. She's going to blow up their game plan.

Ceremony - Key order - April, Memphis, Ollie, Jerry, Renny, Dan. So it's Keesha and Libra. Michelle says she nominated them and they're not surprised -- not personal, just strategy, they're threats.

Dan is thrilled. Jerry is mad at Dan -- he will always be known as Judas in his house. @@

Libra was expecting a much better speech.

BB10 - Delayed by Golf

Tonight's BB10 here will be delayed by golf. Right now, 60 Minutes is on. As soon as the show starts, I'll have a post for it started.

BB10: Live Feeds Last Night and Into Sunday

Libra is up early this morning cleaning up after the big feast.

I think I forgot to mention that I had a feeds report posted at TVS which updated until the POV comp yesterday. Oops. Not to fear -- there was plenty of action during the evening hours after the comp! Here's the latest from that Big Brother House of Horrors:

• As I mentioned before -- Jerry won the POV and Memphis has to wear a garland of onions. Now, if it was garlic that would keep the vampires away! Or is that werewolves?
• The comp had something to do with cutting or slicing onions. It was called "Cry Me a Veto." In the comp it seems the girls won some sort of expensive shopping spree.
  
• As Libra and Keesha were talking about Jerry not using the veto, Jerry was at Michelle's side telling her he's always been on her side. @@
• Jerry doesn't want Michelle telling Keesha she's safe, but he wants to tell her and no one else can know. Um, duh, Jerry. Everyone knows that too many want Libra out. Whether the veto is used or not, Keesha is bound to be safe.
• After swearing to keep the "Keesha safe" bit a huge secret, Jerry told April. @@ She asked if he was going to use the veto and he said no -- the vote will be for Libra to leave.
• Jerry is still mad at Dan. He told Renny the only time he broke his word was with Brian and because everyone forced him. He thinks his wife will be proud of him. I hope she doesn't have the live feeds!
• April and Ollie think Michelle likes Keesha and just don't understand.
• They were all one big happy friendly cordial family as they awaited their feast from BB.
• That wouldn't last.
• As the crowd had such a good time, first Libra started crying and left, then Dan. All the niceness must have been too much.
• As they each said something nice about each other, Jerry said he thinks Dan is America's Player and that's why he betrayed him. Jerry said if he wins HOH, he'll put Dan up for eviction.
• Libra ended up crying to Ollie about the hurtful things he's said about her being a mother. He apologized to her.
• She told him that voting out Jessie wasn't her idea -- she was approached with it.
• BB gave them all too much alcohol, methinks. Jerry got drunk and Michelle was floored with all of the honesty in the house.
• Libra continued to trash Keesha to Ollie while April and Keesha trashed Libra in another room.
• Keesha in an almost parallel universe to Libra, cried to April.
• Libra caught wind over some of what Keesha was saying to April -- she found it interesting that Keesha only talked to April because she's drunk.
• The April/Keesha discussion turned into a catfight with them both shouting accusations at each other MEOW.
• But then they hugged and April said it will be Libra going home. PURR.
• But then, as Keesha and Michelle were in the HOH room, Libra barged in. Apparently changing her mind, she left after making a lame excuse.
• But then ... as several sat around bashing Libra, they decided Libra should be in on it like some sort of intervention.
• Catfight! MEOW
• HISS. GNASH. SNARL.
• After the catfight cleared, Keesha told Michelle that most of what's been blamed on Libra is actually April's doing.
• It's all too much for Michelle -- she ended up burying herself in pillows on the backyard couch and sobbing.
• All of a sudden she tosses the pillows and starts screaming "[BLEEP] you! [BLEEP] you and you! All of you!"
• Meltdown complete.
• Soon everyone was screaming or crying again. Except for Dan and Memphis. I think they went in hiding. (Perhaps the Witless Protection Program?)
• As Keesha cried how much she liked Angie and put her on the block for them, Jerry and Memphis assured her she's staying this week.
• April and Keesha made up, then started screaming again.
• Libra vowed no more alcohol for houseguests.
• Michelle thinks all of the evictions so far go back to Libra.
• Libra denies it -- says if she goes this week, she'll see there are a lot more serious players than she is left in the house.
• Ollie finds it all funny that the girls are going at it.
• Dan just hides.
• April continued to fuss about the car Memphis won.
• Michelle is more determined than ever that Keesha will stay and Libra will go this week.
• An awful lot of brouhaha just to go full circle back to that, eh?
• All finally headed to bed. Libra is up early cleaning the huge mess left behind.
• But no one can clean the mess of hurt feelings and alcohol-driven stupidity.
  

BB10: POV Completed

After blocked feeds for nearly three hours, we're back. Jerry won the Power of Veto and Memphis, for some reason, has to wear onions for a week.

Big Brother 10 Live Feeds Into Saturday Dawn

Yeah, Ollie is sitting pretty through the nominations. Even if Keesha or Libra are saved by the veto, his name isn't in the mix. It would most likely be Dan going up as a replacement. Here's what's happened since my last update:

• Amongst other things, they did win a feast during their food comp.
• Michelle is getting tired of being popular just because she's HOH, but thinks she would be on the block had she not won it.
• Michelle is still ticked off about the "two-headed snake" remark regarding her and Jessie.
• Everyone is on slop until their Saturday feast.
  
• Dan's key was the last drawn from the box during nominations.
• Michelle told him she did it for a reason. He has never won a comp, acts suspiciously, Jerry thinks he's America's Player, and he betrayed them by voting Jessie out.
• Dan tried to defend his actions by saying he was told that April and company wanted to go after floaters next and he thought he was in danger of being nominated.
• Apparently April's key was the first one pulled. Keesha thinks it odd that the person who put Jessie on the block was safe first.
• Keesha told Dan that Memphis promised to save her with the veto if he wins it, but she's not sure if that promise is still good.
• Dan said in the "celeb" food comp, Brian gave him hints by being overly fake to April and saluting Jerry.
• Jerry told Ollie and April that Jen and Ryan had sex in the house. Oh, no ... he doesn't realize that Ollie and April are at it! @@
• April, Ollie, and Jerry think the vote will be unanimous to evict Libra.
• Renny is angry that she's considered a floater with Dan. She thinks a lot of people will go home from the house to find their actions have been looked upon as bad even though it is all a game.
• Everyone ... well, Ollie, April, Libra, Keesha ... have all said that if the POV comp is a luxury one, they'll take the prizes over the POV. I doubt it will be a luxury one as they just had one last week. But it's interesting that the two on the block are saying it, eh?
• Renny complained to Dan about Jerry's bad behavior -- grabbing boobs, bad manners, the way he plays the game so obviously playing up to the power each week, and acting all so high and mighty.
• Michelle said she didn't put April on the block because her goal is to get Libra out. Too many people might vote for an April eviction over Libra -- it's more sure that out of Libra and Keesha, Libra would be voted out.
• Keesha told Michelle that she's never been her target -- she wants others out of the house before Michelle.
• Renny got ticked because when Dan said goodnight to Jerry, Jerry didn't even answer. She thinks Jerry is beyond rude.
• Jerry is acting like Dan is a leper or something.
• April told Ollie she wants Keesha and Libra to apologize to her. He told her not to bother -- they won't apologize because they have no morals. @@ -- like he's one to talk!
• Michelle told Dan that if she had put up Jerry and Libra on the block, Jerry would go. She really, really wants Libra gone.
• Dan says he wants the feed watchers to create a website -- savedansjob.com. Heh. Actually, I don't think he has any reason to worry about his job.
• Dan once again said goodnight to Jerry upon going to bed. After a long pause, Jerry said goodnight to him.
• Is all well in hamster land? I think not.
  

BB10 Bulletin - Nominations

My apologies for being late with this -- Libra and Keesha are nominated with Libra being the target.

Oops, I had taken a nap.

Latest BB10 Live Feeds

There are times that I find Memphis reminding me a bit of Wally Cleaver -- in looks only, of course. My latest live feeds report is up over at TV Squad.

Big Brother 10: Jessie on The Early Show, Live Feeds Into Friday Dawn

All of the loving happy houseguests gather in Michelle's HOH room. If you didn't know the history behind the hamsters, you would actually think they liked and were happy for Michelle.


After seeing Michelle's pictures from home and hearing her read her letter, Renny abruptly left the HOH room in tears. Maybe it's because she's missing her own family? Maybe it's man's inhumanity to man brought to light in the fact that Michelle has loved ones, too. I just don't know.

Here's what happened before the hamsters crashed for the night:

• Jerry told Libra her own alliance doesn't like her.
• Michelle, in a way, extended an olive branch to Libra. She told her that she would welcome her to visit the HOH room and, indeed, would be offended if she didn't come talk to her. She said she wanted to know more about her, where she comes from, etc.
• April is still steaming about Libra. Ollie continues to instigate issues consoling his dear April while trashing Libra.
• Michelle asked Dan why he voted the way he did. She thinks the girls are manipulating him. He tried to pass it all off as "I'm not any good at this game."
• Memphis has fallen right back in with his former ally Michelle. When Jerry asked her if Memphis has been sweet-talking and charming her, she denied it.
• Everyone in the house knows that Jerry will suck up to whoever holds the power. Right now he's tolerated for a vote, but that's not always going to be the case.
• April told Ollie that she knows Keesha and Libra never liked her. She feels stupid and like they just used her.
• April, moving on to trash Memphis to Ollie, said Jerry was right in calling him a womanizer.
• Michelle's CD in her HOH basket was DoggyStyle by Snoop. That's fitting in light of her own comment in the "Living on the Edge" endurance HOH comp. (Bent over and saying, "It's been a while since I've been in this position!"
• Dan consoled Renny, then it was Keesha by her side.
• Although he's now in with Michelle, Memphis is still in the Keesha Kamp -- he told Keesha and Libra that he is going to try to get Michelle to put April on the block and he knows she'd have the votes to be evicted.
• Michelle remains adamant that she wants Libra out.
• Memphis tried the wisdom of splitting up the Ollie/April block by sending April packing, but Michelle is more on a Libra must go streak.
• Jerry told Keesha that Dan had had a deal with him, Ollie, and April to vote out Memphis.
• Jerry is sure that Memphis will target him and work to get him out of the house. Keesha told him that's not the case.
• Keesha told Libra and then Renny that Jerry told her Dan had an alliance with Jerry, Ollie, and April.
• April, Ollie, Jerry, and Michelle think that Libra is the puppetmaster and that Keesha would be nothing without her.
  
• Michelle thinks Dan might be America's Player.
• The HOH group -- April, Ollie, Jerry, and Michelle -- plan to not have anything to do with Dan.
• Memphis told Dan that, of the little group, Libra is not really tight with Renny and Keesha.
• April thinks Libra is the Omarosa of the house. (Now, that is a good one!)
• Keesha had a long talk with Michelle. She told her that voting out Jessie wasn't a strike at her (Michelle), but a way to get back at April.
• Keesha told Michelle that she expects to be put on the block this week, but thinks that Libra, Ollie, or April would be better targets.
• Michelle told Dan that he was the only other person in the house that Jessie had trusted.
• Libra and Michelle talked, too. Yes, talked, not screamed. Libra told Michelle that she was sure that Jessie was targeting her. She admitted if she had won HOH she would have put Jessie and Michelle on the block because they were after her in the game. She said she thought Michelle was in an alliance with Ollie.
• Libra said that she (Libra) seems to get the blame for everything but Michelle told her she knows it's not all her doing.
• Renny also worked on getting April nominated by pointing out that if April really didn't want Jessie to go home, she wouldn't have put him on the block. Then she added how April won't eat anything she cooks.
• Renny also mentioned how April complained about Michelle always hanging out with the guys.
• Again Keesh brought up how Michelle should take the BB gold bars as bribes not to put April and Libra up, then put them up anyway.
• They are all asleep as I post this.

In other news, I caught the Jessie segment on The Early Show. Sheesh, these segments are getting skimpier and skimpier. The second Julie mentioned America's Player, Jessie guessed Dan and looked disgusted. He claims he's going to be happier at home than stuck in sequester or in a house where America wants him out. He thinks he should have been kept because he's "funnier" than Memphis. I think he thinks America has disrespected the Almighty Jessie.
Heh.
