The show has started here on the East Coast. This post will be constantly updated as it airs. Mind you, there WILL be typos since I'm paying more attention to my television than to my monitor. Everyone is welcome to jump in with their thoughts and reactions in the comments -- bring snacks and beverages and your comfy chairs!
Recap. recap, Michelle, veto. Upset Keesha, Dan using the betrayal to his advantage, Memphis sent her packing. Three part battle for final HOH starts ... finally to the opening -- Julie has on a dark short sleeved dress.
It's On a Wing and a Prayer. Dan tells Memphis he made a good game move and we see Keesha voted off again. "This is the first time someone actually did what they promised to do for me," says Jerry of Memphis. Memphis tells us that they stand a better chance against Jerry. Dan tells us he told Keesha to finish it in regard to Micchelle's vote. Dan's comments were staged and Jerry believes it. And he does.
Jerry's down quickly. Dan tells us the plan was for Memphis to fall sometime soon after. Memphis tells us that he thinks Dan was overplaying the card and would make it too obvious. He doesn't go down as quickly as planned. But he finally goes down and Dan wins part one of the final HOH.
Jerry tells Memphis, "I want to thank you for today." He tells us there's a nice side to Memphis and he didn't get a chance to enjoy it before. Then it's to Memphis and Dan scheming. Dan says Memphis HAS to win heat two.
Returning to Julie -- Jerry and Memphis must duke it out in round two. Dan comes to call them with boxing gloves. Memphis is out first == 10 round fight to the finish They have to knock out the cut outs in the right order leaving up the HOH and the two nominees in each of the ten rounds. Jerry is confused by week three. He keeps saying "I'm so lost" throughout. Memphis is concerned with his time. Memphis time - 8:35, Jerry -- 51:22. Jerry "I'm totally ashamed and embarrassed."
Dan and Memphis do their Renegades dance and we get to see Jerry's underwear.
Julie talks to the three. Jerry says when he fell in the pool, his brain got waterlogged. He says he feels maybe-=maybe not, it will be their choice. Memphis - hard to choose between Jerry and Keesha, hardest ever. Dan -- Less than a week away, how has the mood changed? Dan says more fun, almost smell the half-=million in the air.
Keesha goes to sequester -- did she follow through with threat to turn them against Mempshis. Renny tells us it sucks, "we're losers and that's why we're here." Michelle is ready to rat out Dan for the luxury. Keesha shocks Michelle by mentioning the trip first. They watch the DVD. April sees right through Dan and Memphis. Renny said she told her all along. Finish it dan to Keesha. Keesha sees through Dan, but says he's a great player -- he's trying to get her vote, Michelle's and others.

Time for part three -- in a few moments. How the juror completed the statement, two choices.
Libra change alliance or behavior -- alliance Dan one point
April coasted under radar - jerry or Memphis - Memph gets point
Michelle best stretgic - me winning hoh and revenge/backdooring me - both right
Ollie fatal arreo - trusting dan, letting heart get into the game - heart - both wrong
Renny - moment irritate -jerry dentures, Jessie punk - Jerry - Dan right, lead by one point
Keesha - uncomfomtable moment - birthday, or evict night - Dan got it right.
Dan wins the third part. Dan has surprised us before, does he have one more trick up his sleeve? To commercial.
They give speeches -- Jerry, apologizes, played game strong,
Memphis -- Wild ride, put me on the block twice, find out if they're a true renegade or not.
Dan tells them that he hopes he's as strong at 75, but evicts Jerry. It's the two renegades for the end game.
House footage -- the bandanas are on their wrists.
Julie talks to Jerry -- "I'm not sure if it wasn't even planned." Heh. Did Dan make a mistake. Jerry thinks he made a big mistake as he's the deciding vote. Who best player or settle personal score. Goodbye messages -- No hard feelings, heck of a job, something to look to. Memphis -- see you as a friend.
Last hurrah for Jerry? I'm proud, I'm 75, did myself and family proud, blah, blah.
Julie tells us how we can help a jury member -- America's Vote -- favorite juror $25,000
My latest live feeds report is live over on TV Squad. Please join us for the live-blogging post I'll be doing here for tonight's live show -- it will be in motion at 8 PM ET. Snacks and beverages should be shared.
I want to thank those blog readers who shared their memories and thoughts of 9/11 in the comments of my previous post. I should have put this up earlier, but I had to go out for my weekly blood draw. The tragedy of 9/11 hits very close to home for me -- my company lost seven people, I lost friends, neighbors, and a relative. Life drastically changed in the city and here in the commuting towns in the Greater NYC Metropolitan area. I can still recall the acrid smoke smell which drifted in the air here and my view of the skyline is forever changed. I do wish the politicians would quit bickering about the memorial and just get it up.
This is a photo I shot of the weekly war protest in front of the Shaker building where I live in NJ --
And this is why we should never forget -- the future. I met this little girl in Central Park the week before the attacks. No, I don't know who she is and she's surely changed by now. But in the eyes of a child, things have to change.
Okay, so Memphis won part two of the HOH comp and he'll face Dan in the final heat. Their plan is for Memphis to throw the comp to Dan so it will be Dan voting out Jerry. Since Memphis already alienated Keesha, at least Jerry will still think he wasn't betrayed. It's boring in the house now with the three of them, it should get even worse when it's down to two. Here's what happened after the comp ended:
- Dan was so antsy to get out into the yard that I was almost ready to call Allison Grodner and demand they let him out. Sheesh.
- As for the comp, there were cut-out figures of the houseguests. Jerry thinks the producer of the comp was getting tired of him for taking too long (51 minutes).
- Once released into the yard, Dan found odd things like balls (one in the pool and another on the patio), juice boxes, and coconut.
- Ted the spider was there, along with his girlfriend Debbie the spider. Now Jerry is into them even more than Memphis and Dan.
- But when Dan went through the trash and found the cheat sheets for putting the comp together, the feeds were blocked.
- Dan wanted to get the flag set up for 9/11.
- It's apparently a cool night in California.
- Dan and Memphis have delusions about how famous the Renegades are. They're sure someone has already stolen the domain name for their proposed clothes line. @@ I'm sorry, but neither of them are fashion plates!
- At one point when Jerry was in the Diary Room, Memphis asked Dan to get his cross and swear that he won't double-cross him if he throws the comp.
- So Memphis is leery, eh? I think Dan himself is a bit leery if Memphis were to win the final HOH.
- Memphis told Dan that if he betrays him, he'll cut his head off. Yeah, sure.
- Then Memphis suggested they just "rock it" -- no throwing the comp on either side, Jerry is going to end up knowing anyway. Hmmm...
- Jerry talked about his medications and going to the VFW once a week.
- Both Dan and Memphis tossed and turned a lot -- probably excited about today's events. But all are sleeping now.
Since the application is online now at the CBS site, I thought I'd have some fun with a part of it. You're welcome to supply your answers, too!Section IV: Your Chance to be Creative53List the three adjectives that best describe you.Loquacious, cantankerous, intelligent 54If you could hold any political office, what would it be and why?Why would I want to do that? Hmmm ... nope, don't want to, thank you anyway.55aWhat is the accomplishment you are most proud of?Still being alive and yet crazy after all these years. That and the fact I don't end sentences with prepositions much these days.55bWhat are you most ashamed of, either now or in your past?I'm too ashamed to say. 56Describe your perfect day.When I've got no deeds to do, no promises to keep, I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep ... and feelin' groovy.57Who is your hero and why?Spider-Man. Because he can do anything a spider can. Duh. 58List three (3) items you would take with you into the Big Brother house if allowed and why.My privacy, my sanity, and my cat. I'm a private person, I need my mind, and my cat would freak out without me. 59Have you ever been to a nude beach? If so, what was it like?No, but I think that most of the people on nude beaches are probably the types who should be clothed ... heavily. 60Finish this sentence: “My life's motto is…”"Gotta make the donuts." 61What would you do if “Big Brother” made you famous?Become an eccentric recluse. 62What types of people would you choose to have living with you in the “Big Brother” house?Intelligent but not pompous, people who don't cuss every other word, people without loud or shrieking voices. 63What types of people would you NOT choose to live with you in the house?Gypsies, tramps, and thieves. 64What would irritate you about living in a house with about a dozen other people?The dozen other people. 65What do you think would be the most difficult part of living in the “Big Brother” house? Explain.The dozen other people. Lock me alone in a house for three months and I'd be fine. 66Which past “Big Brother” houseguest did you like the most? The least? Explain.The best - Dr. Will. He was fun to watch on the feeds. The least - Jerry. He's not interesting, stares off in space a lot, wears those horrible cut-off sleeves, and has a vile mouth. 67Do you have a strategy for winning “Big Brother”?Lock myself in the bathroom until all the others vow in blood that they won't vote me out and they will vote for me to win in the end. 68Aside from the cash prize, what do you hope to gain from winning “Big Brother”?Um, public humiliation? 69A recurring theme on “Big Brother” is “expect the unexpected.” How would you handle “the unexpected?” Are there any possible twists on the show that would be particularly challenging for you to handle?I'm fine with "expect the unexpected." A possible twist which would be challenging would be if my long deceased evil 6th grade teacher showed up and berated me. Yes, I still carry a grudge. 70Is there anything else you'd like to tell us about yourself and why you think you'd make a great Big Brother participant and housemate? Try to differentiate yourself and be creative!I will not run if nominated and if elected, I will not serve.
