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!
