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.
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.
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. :-)
What's that necklace Memphis is wearing? Yep, Memphis has won the Power of Veto. Something to do with stairs and questions.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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."
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.
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?
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
As expected, Memphis saved Dan with the veto. It's now Renny and Keesha on the block.
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.
The show has started here on the East Coast. As it airs, this post will be constantly updated -- please forgive the inevitable typos! Everyone is welcome to join in with their thoughts in the comments section. Let's have us some fun!
Recap, recap ... more recap. Michelle has now been evicted twice tonight. Jerry is obviously down and feeling vulnerable. Keesha and Renny feel bad about her eviction. Ollie will avenge her leaving. Ha. Memphis sheds no tears, time for another HOH comp and we're still in Recap City. Hey, Keesha won HOH1 WHAT A SURPRISE! As are the noms. Now we get to see the veto and Ollie run away again. A bit of unseen before footage, but we're talking ten minutes solid of recaps. Horrible!
Renny is bugged by the Colonel, nothing in common. They have cute background music for Jerry's lonely journey through the house. The four are celebrating.
Renny and Dan have a talk about the time zones. Renny is so wrong. Heehee. Heh ... she's insisting the wrong time for New Orleans. Finally it dawns on her that she's wrong. Now they're laughing about Keesha's laugh. Memphis actually imitates it pretty well. Dan shouts to us in the DR about Keesha's laugh. Renny thinks dogs can here her.
HOH carnival -- skeeball. Dan tells us if they can't win three against one (against Jerry), then one of them probably deserves to go home. Each round they will be asked the day number of the event, they have to aim the ball towards the day for the answer. Day Jerry called Dan Judas at the veto meeting -- Memphis broke it down into weeks, a smart answer. Dan knew the rough day. Correct day was 35. They get penalty points for whatever amount they're off. Renny did the worst on this round, Dan best.
Aliens in the windows of the BB house - 14. Dan is doing the best so far with Jerry and Memphis running neck and neck together. The next one was Brian being put up on the block -- 6. Dan still has a big lead. In the news is next -- 32. Renny is still doing the worst. Memphis is NOT doing well. Dan remains in the lead. The earthquake -- 22. Jerry got it spot on. Dan only leads by two points now.
Jessie eviction day -- 31. Oops ... Dan's ball bounced off his rather correct answer goal. He blew it. Jerry is in the lead by 6 points. America give the lollipops -- 39. Dan got it right, but too late for the points to win. Jerry wins HOH. He gave an odd cough-hiccup.
The crew of four is dismayed. Dan is pretty sure he'll be on the block. Memphis says he won't make a deal with Jerry.
Jerry's room -- they're all puckering up to kiss his ass according to Memphis. New pictures. Jerry knows they're being nice to him because he's HOH. He doesn't trust them. He starts telling stories. Sigh. I hear too many stories from him on the feeds. But the way this is edited is perfect!
Memphis and Keesha talk. They know one has to leave. Memphis wants to be taken with either Keesha or Dan if they win. He wants Keesha to think he will choose her for the final two, but doesn't want to come out and say it.
Renny is sleepwalking. Sooky-sooky. Memphis tells us Renny is more than wacky -- she's completely off the reservation. Keesha thinks Renny is hilarious even in her sleep. Cute segment.
But it's morning. Renny says she woke up with candy bars in her bed. Keesha and Renny talk. Keesha is worried. She's thinks that she and Renny might be put up together because they're so close. Dan and Memphis talk. Memphis thinks Jerry wants to be promised safety. Memphis thinks making a deal with Jerry is their only hope. They just can't be on the block together.
Memphis goes to talk to Jerry. Memphis tells him that he wants to stay off the block. Jerry tells him he'd like to go to the final two with him -- safest for them both. Memphis tells Jerry he wants to battle the best in the game and it's him. Jerry wants to put Dan on the block. Memphis tells Jerry he doesn't trust Dan because he put him on the block. He's playing Jerry very nicely. Jerry tells us he trusts Memphis more than the others.
Nominations today -- Memphis feels safer after the talk. Dan is sure he'll be going up. Both Keesha and Renny are worried. Jerry tells us his decisions aren't personal and will only get him further in the game. Dan and Memphis are wearing their matching shorts. How odd.
Key order -- Renny, Memphis. It's Dan and Keesha on the block. Jerry says both have nominated him, trust issues with Dan, Keesha is a good player. The PoV will determine who goes home. Jerry tells us Keesha is a pawn and he wants Dan out.
Memphis tells us Renny is the only one in the house he doesn't have a deal with. His goal is to get her out this week.
My latest live feeds report is up over on TV Squad.
At 8 PM ET, I'll be posting a live-blogging entry for the show. I hope to see you there!
The top screen cap is Keesha's hands working on making a ... um ... an ... um, well, I never figured it out. It's some sort of head. Dan is painting his frog in the lower photo. I know. Painting your frog does sound like an euphemism, doesn't it? Yes, BB gave them arts, crafts, and alcohol in an activity bucket. Here's the latest from that Big Brother House of Paint Your Frog Solo:
- Heh. Before they got yelled at for talking about their Diary Room sessions, Dan said his mobile question was about why he yells in the DR. That drives me crazy and I've mentioned it more than a few times in my show posts.
- Renny is rightfully worried that she'll be leaving this week. Keesha told her she didn't know.
- Memphis read the instructions from one of the crafts -- Safe for use by five year-old and up. He deemed they could play.
- Jerry kept saying the show always ends on a Sunday, but he also says he's pretty sure the show is ending on September 25 (which is a Thursday). He's wrong on both counts. It has been ending on Tuesdays recent years and Survivor jumps into the Thursday slot immediately following the Tuesday finale. For some reason, the latter season premiere has been changed from 9/18 to 9/25. But the season finale of BB is set for 9/16, a Tuesday. It's Survivor which always ends on a Sunday, not BB. Jerry should know that.
- Because BB gave the kids activities, they spent a lot of time playing games and making things instead of talking game.
- Keesha tried to work Memphis a bit for a shot at her and Renny staying in the game.
- Renny told Keesha that Jerry can be a "peckerhead." Heehee, so fitting!
- Keesha told Renny that Jerry has been saying "Renny is only out for Renny." Renny wasn't surprised. She told Keesha that Jerry has been saying a lot of nasty things about her (Keesha), too.
- Keesha and Renny think that Jerry wants a final three with the guys. They're wrong. From watching, I think Jerry wants Memphis, Keesha, and himself in the F3.
- Except for Keesha, all want Renny out because they know if she makes the F2, she's sure to have the jury votes for the win. Keesha still has the friendship/loyalty thing going but she would definitely lose against Renny, too.
- Jerry was monotonous, full of stories about himself and the wisdom of the ages. Now, I normally respect older folks and I sometimes enjoy tales they can tell. But Jerry's stories all seem the same old, same old, over and over again.
- Renny thinks Dan is sucking up to Jerry in hopes that he won't vote him out.
- Renny put a scarf around her neck and fake strangled herself for the camera. It looked like when Archie Bunker used to do the same sort of thing between strangling himself or shooting himself.
- Renny told Keesha she thinks Jerry is boring because he tells the same stories over and over again. Phew, it's not in my mind! Keesha thinks Jerry is arrogant. Yeah, that too!
- All are asleep as I post this.
My apologies for leading everyone astray early this morning. I could have sworn it was the veto necklace on Jerry in a quick flash after the feeds returned. But it's not Jerry who won it -- Memphis won the POV.
I've been out most of the day (yay, long time since I've done that), but here's what I've gathered upon my return:
- Memphis won the POV.
- Memphis promised Jerry he wouldn't use it.
- Memphis promised Dan he will save him and made him promise not to pull any odd stunts.
- Renny will go on the block.
- Memphis and Dan aren't telling anyone and Memphis plans to act like it's his decision after a lot of thought just decided upon before the POV meeting on Monday.
- Renny is the one they will vote out this week. Only Dan and Memphis will vote.
The feeds were blocked for hours. When they came back about 10 minutes ago, a brief shot of Jerry had the POV necklace on and no one else seems happy at all. No one is talking about it.
Hmm ... I thought it was the POV necklace on Jerry, but it was a really brief shot. Then the necklace was up in its place on the Memory Wall once again. Hmm ... I think I'm going to say I think that Jerry won, but I'm not 100% sure. I know Keesha didn't win. If either Dan or Memphis won, they would be scheming. Memphis went right to bed after the feeds returned and Dan looked glum. If Renny won, she'd be talking to Keesha about saving her. It had to be Jerry and he didn't mix with any of them before heading to bed. All are in bed now as I update this.
1:30 PM ET UPDATE: They're still asleep. I'm still uncertain on the winner (although I think it was Jerry). And I'm heading out for the afternoon with a friend. When I come back, they just better have spilled the beans!
The feeds were blocked for a little over an hour and I'm now (not so) patiently awaiting for someone to spill the beans. All five hamsters are in the kitchen and no one is talking about the noms. What they're talking about is Memphis makes sandwiches without bread by rolling up the other foodstuffs. And Renny told Keesha she needs to learn to cook. BTW - Memphis and Dan can actually cook, at least to an extent.
Waiting ... waiting ... as soon as they talk, I can nap again ... waiting ... Dan seems very subdued and has gone off to lay down by himself. I think with this reaction and Jerry's pre-nom talks with people, it's pretty safe to say he is one of the nominations. But still no clue who's up there with him or confirmation that he's on the block.
Confirmed -- Keesha and Dan are on the block.
Well, I already gave you the biggest news of the period -- Jerry won HOH. But, here are the details and what's been happening since that time:
- After the show last night, Jerry was appreciative and kind to everyone. Each person was nice back to him ... which turned out to be a good thing in light of what was to happen.
- The HOH comp dealt with balls and points won. (The feeds were blocked for it.)
- Jerry repeated that everyone one should be proud to have made it this far.
- The hamsters had been locked out of the storage room because BB made it Keesha's little HOH storage room with her HOH basket of goodies. At least she got those.
- As Jerry got his HOH room, I had bubbles (in lieu of fish cam or trivia), but I had audio. He seemed very proud of his pictures and everyone seemed to take part in the "tour."
- Jerry told Dan if they were in the final two together, he (Jerry) couldn't win. He thinks his only votes would come from Ollie, Michelle, and April.
- Keesha doesn't think she can win the jury vote against anyone.
- Renny told Jerry that Memphis and Dan had an alliance within their alliance.
- Renny wants both the guys to go up while Jerry is leaning towards a guy and a girl.
- BB gave this group (sans Michelle) beer and wine last night. They also gave Dan a birthday cake -- his birthday isn't until Monday.
- Memphis worked his in with Jerry despite their spats in the past. He told Jerry the only person he trusts in the house is Keesha.
- In the Memphis/Jerry talk, it sounds like Jerry would like the final three to be Keesha, Memphis, and himself.
- Jerry wants to test Keesha to check out how loyal she is to Dan and Renny.
- Come morning, he hinted to Keesha that he wants to put her on the block, but he's sure she won't go home.
- Jerry seems to have a backdoor plan in mind -- put up a guy and a girl, if POV is won, backdoor. Dan is who he wants out right now.
- As I post this, Dan is talking to Jerry. There isn't any violence or nastiness. Jerry isn't telling him he's going on the block. Dan is pointing out that if they make it to the final three, Jerry has friends on the jury. Jerry says he's not in the final five with his own team, but they all saved him.
- Nominations should be later today.
Another HOH comp was held. Jerry is the new HOH. Keesha didn't even get the room for the night.
No, I'm not kidding. More details later.
As an added note: My full review/recap of last night's show is up over on TV Squad. I took 'em to task for the "red-headed cabbage patch kid" edit! Now I really have to nap. I want to thank everybody who kept the show post updated last night. Y'all rock!
Second added note: No brouhahas in comments please! I will end up removing any nastiness and right now I'm too tired to do it.
Dan is a plant, so Zoetawny made him one! (She rocks, you know!) Unfortunately, I can't live blog tonight's show because it won't air here until 1:37 AM ET. Of all nights! Argh.
So, here's where you come in -- if you're getting the show at a normal hour, I ask that you please fill everyone in down in the comments section. You will have my eternal gratitude as well as the gratitude of many blog readers in the preempt boat with me. Spelling, grammar and punctuation need not be perfect and don't worry about posting something someone else might have already posted -- it's neat to read the different takes on the events.
I thank everyone in advance!
Not only is Dan playing roulette (thanks, Zoetawny!), but CBS is, too. I will be putting up a live-blogging post for Big Brother at 8 PM ET. Alas, I won't be blogging it. It won't air here until 1:37 AM ET. So I'm putting out the plea -- anyone with it airing at a normal human time, please feel free to use the comments section to keep us up it it. Not of this post, of course. It will be a new one. Merci!
My latest live feeds report is up over on TV Squad if you want to check it out. At least tonight will bring excitement back in the house.
