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.
