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.
Keesha makes the oddest faces, doesn't she? I can't recall why this face she made last night while I was getting screen caps, but it's not her most flattering pose.
Tonight's live show, probably the most exciting one of the season, won't be live here in the NYC area. I'll see it after Ferguson (which, by the way, is in reruns again this week -- no hamsters). But I'll get a post up when it should start so that folks can fill us in as it airs at the normal time in some areas.
Here's the big events from last night in the Big Brother House of Lost Loves:
- Dan and Memphis cooked dinner. Jerry said he'll always eat if there's food. Ollie refused. Michelle ate the dinner and then thanked "whoever" cooked it even though she knew who cooked it, but perhaps not who did the separate dishes.
- I hope Michelle eventually realizes how pathetic she sounds begging BB for alcohol. Maybe they should set up a 12 Step Program for her in sequester.
- Ollie sat around in his sunglasses trying to look tough and cool, I guess. I don't know -- those sunglasses remind me of The Fly. help me! help me!
- Michelle cried after talking with Keesha about Mom's dinners.
- She wouldn't let Keesha console her.
- Keesha told Renny she feels sorry for Michelle.
- Ollie thinks Dan is a plant. Wait, we know that. The new why is because his plan was so carefully planned out and the morning songs were about guns.
- Renny talked to Ollie and told him that she thinks she's been fed lies. She wanted to know if Ollie really was responsible for Memphis going on the block and the details of the HOH deal.
- Neither Renny or Ollie know why Dan wanted them to say each other at the POV ceremony. Ollie thinks it was for show. When Ollie asked Renny if she trusts Dan, she told him she doesn't trust anyone.
- Ollie and Keesha briefly talked religion. Now, here's something I can get behind Ollie on -- he said he doesn't debate religion because he thinks everyone should just read the bible and interpret it in their own way. I'd go a step further and include more than the bible, but I've always been one to hate religion debates.
- Memphis told Keesha he's worried that Renny thinks he has an alliance with Jerry. Yeah, like that could happen!
- They are buzzing about a double eviction, but it's really just speculation. They think it's due soon. Dan thinks someone comes back if they boot two. @@
- Michelle cried some more.
- Michelle tried again for Keesha's vote. Jerry doesn't seem to be campaigning at all and rather sure he's staying.
- Ollie told Keesha that Jerry told him he isn't campaigning because the votes are the way they are and he can't change them.
- Ollie told Keesha he didn't think that Renny would vote to keep Jerry. He also told her that if Michelle stays, they won't target either Renny or Keesha next week.
- They're really working it, huh?
- Jerry thinks Michelle keeps crying to gain sympathy votes to stay.
- Dan used the peace signs from the Hippie Room to make a big veto.
- Michelle told Ollie that she tried to make a deal with Memphis that if she stays and wins HOH, he can name a nominee and she won't put him up. Now, where have we heard that before? (As a sidenote: I don't recall her having that conversation with Memphis, but I could have missed it.)
- All are asleep as I post this.
Today was one boring day in the BB10 house. My latest live feeds report is up over on TV Squad. I think I prefer when Ollie is freaking out.
In other news:
- I was saddened to see Bill and his orange dog Star go tonight on The Greatest American Dog. Although I find him to be on the obnoxious side, I felt sorry for JD when Galaxy started to limp. I hope Galaxy is okay and that he'll withdraw the dog if there's an issue.
- I finally caught the finale episode of Bones. I had already heard long ago about the ending, so it didn't surprise me. But I found the whole ending rather weak.
- I overdid it with my knee today and I'm sitting here with ice on it. I really should refill my pain meds -- I've been out for a week and thought I was doing fine.
- They actually stopped my rat poison ... er, Coumadin for a few days this week and put me on a lower dose. Last week I was very tired and felt blah. I feel better this week on the lower dose but have had real problems sleeping. Tomorrow I go for my weekly blood draw, so they'll probably change it again. I so love being poisoned slowly!
I have a post up on TV Squad with the CBS video of the new cast. I think I like! I hear ew.com has more information but I'll have to check it out a bit later. I have to go work out, fool for exercise that I am. Yeah, my physical therapy halted thanks to Blue Cross/Blue Shield and the skimpy 20 visit limit. But I'm paying a low fee to go use the equipment at the PT place to strengthen my knee. I have to stop almost falling!
Keesha and Dan sunned in the early evening hours last night. I think these could be called compromising positions! ;-)
Here's the evening and overnight events from inside that Big Brother House of Ollie's Follies and Dan's Plans:
- Jerry watched the washing machine while Memphis, Dan, and Keesha talked about Jerry watching the washing machine.
- No one else watches the washing machine. I think it's Jerry's secret alliance in the house.
- Michelle, Ollie, and Jerry (after he stopped watching the washing machine) trashtalked about Dan.
- Ollie (once again) told Michelle he's been playing nice and he's not playing nice anymore. I personally don't think he played any kind of way except perhaps playing April before a few days ago.
- Renny (once again) cooked dinner for all. I think I want me a Renny dinner -- she looks like she's a great cook!
- Renny is sick of the tension in the house. At the end of the meal, Michelle claimed that Memphis and Dan were talking about her. Ollie joined her cause and Renny just gave a huge sigh and said they weren't even talking about them.
- But it's okay for Ollie and Michelle to talk about Dan and Memphis.
- Ollie and Michelle promptly started trashtalking about Dan again.
- Michelle, whose mother should be oh-so-proud of her made homosexual references about Dan which would make a sailor blush.
- Dan told Memphis he doesn't think CBS will show any of them in a negative light. He's spot on with the Ollie editing last night!
- Michelle wanted alcohol. They haven't had any since the night before the PoV meeting.
- Jerry is showing again his need to repeat things. Like the oft-repeated "I'm a little streetfighter" -- he wants to tell either Dan or Memphis the line he used about Evel Dick in his pre-season interviews -- "Out of a million sperm, I can't believe you were the fastest swimmer." First off, it's not scientifically logical, a person is the result of a sperm and egg. A person is not a sperm. If he's going to use the saying, he should edit it to reflect the result of the fastest sperm. He's waiting to use it at the right time. Then we'll probably hear it a dozen more times.
- Michelle, sure that people are talking about her again, pines for a glass of wine.
- Jerry wants to make a voodoo doll of Memphis.
- Jerry told both Ollie and Michelle he will write them letters of reference if they ever need them. I think any prospective employer should just check out videos of the feeds on YouTube. That's all the reference they need, fine upstanding polite, intelligent folks that they are.
- Ollie, Jerry, and Michelle decide (if none of them make it), they would vote for Renny to win if she's in the final two.
- Ollie, Jerry, and Michelle think Memphis screwed Steven out of the car win. If they had a do-over, they would keep Steven and boot Dan.
- Renny, Memphis and company talked about Jerry picking his nose. Memphis thinks Jerry is creepy. I think he was creepier when he stalked April and Ollie. I think now he just stalks the washing machine and doesn't really fit in anywhere but watching the suds.
- They're not too happy that Jerry is cocky this week. However, they will still vote Michelle out.
- Michelle tried on and off all day for Renny's vote, but Renny wouldn't commit to anything.
- The two camps sat in different places each trashtalking the other camp.
- Ollie thinks that this week won't be a routine Thursday -- they've had enough of the routine. He's right, but he doesn't know it.
- Renny and Dan joke-flirted again. They make me laugh. If there aren't going to be fireworks in the house, I want someone to make me laugh. Neither Monica or Renny's husband have anything to worry about, but they're a hoot when they get going.
- I'd rather see that than something like the April and Ollie sexcapades.
- All are asleep as I get this posted.
The show has started here on the East Coast. This post will constantly be updated as the show airs. Typos will happen as I'm paying more attention to the television than my typing, so please forgive me. Everyone is welcome to chime in with your thoughts and reactions as the show goes on! (Where did I last see that beverage cart?)
Recaps, going over the HOH deal again. Dan and Memphis discuss Memphis going on the block, then Dan in his nominations dilemma, noms cermeony. I like Dan, but his projecting in the DR is driving me mad. Hmmm ... new fodder -- Replacement Nominee Roulette, a game of Dan's. Whoops, back to the old noms ceremony.
Finally, back to color on Day 46. Ollie thinks he gets all the good things from HOH with no blood on his hands. Memphis thinks Dan's plan is crap. Jerry thinks he's in trouble ... but he's a fighter. Dan projects that it's a calculated risk that will make people think he and Memphis don't have an alliance.
Dan and Memphis talk some more. Memphis is pissed, but Dan in his mellow way tries to soothe him. Dan told Memphis the third part of the deal and that he'll put up Michelle if someone comes down.
Dan asked Keesha if he made a mistake. Keesha thinks it won't go the way he wants it to, it never does. Renny arrives. Duh, Keesha now knows that Michelle and Ollie have an alliance. Dan tells Renny and Keesha he won't put either of them up. "Oops." He'd have to put Michelle up.
Ollie is tells Jerry and Michelle about the secret third part of the deal. Of course, it was supposed to be a secret. Jerry isn't putting too much stock in the deal. (Judas memories.)
Dan wants everyone to gather in the living room. America's Vote. The phone call. Jerry's eyes lit up and Michelle looked like she was going to cry. Keesha does shed a tear or two in the DR. Michelle goes off crying because she's so lonely and would die to have a phone call from home. She sobs to us. I'm not as patient as Renny with her. Jerry goes and talks to her, too. Now Jerry is upset, 54 years, Parkinsons ... I have more sympathy for him.
The phone rings -- in the living room. Stupid Michelle doesn't know if she should answer it. Jerry's daughter asks for him, his grandson talks to him. Then his wife Jo. She tells him she's okay. They miss each other. Michelle cries, not sure if she's touched. Everyone else is smiling and seems happy for him. When he asks if she thinks they behave, she said, "Well ..." Sure enough, Michelle cried because she misses her family. "Thank you America" - he croak shouts.
Memphis goes to HOH with Dan and Keesha. They're wondering if Michelle will vote out Memphis and who Michelle would put up if she gets HOH. Best case scenario -- Michelle goes home this week. Dan tells us he's going to have to break the deal with Ollie. Very important POV, says Keesha.
Player picking time -- Dan picks Renny, Memphis selects Keesha, Jerry gets Houseguest Choice -- Michelle. Dan did not want Michelle to play. Jerry thinks if she wins the veto he'll get removed. He also thinks that then Ollie gets to pick the replacement nominee.
Ollie goes to Dan about the deal. 2/3 is done, the rest, the most important? Ollie tells him they need him on their side. Dan nods a lot and says okay a few times.
POV comp - All in space gear, Star Wars music playing, it looks like Mars. Ask not what theveto can do for you. Planet Veto, fly puzzle pieces on a zip line kind of thing, extra pieces in puzzles. Two heats..
Michelle Dan Keesha heat one, the others go inside. ONE GIANT LEAP is the name of it. Dan wants to throw the comp to Keesha so she'll use the veto. Michelle wants to win it. Keesha has a lot of rope problems. Michelle has the traveling down. "What Michelle has in strength, she lacks in brain power" -- Dan. Michelle thinks she's good at puzzles, but has problems. Keesha has the puzzle down. And Keesha wins the heat and advances to the finals.
Memhis, Renny, and Jerry are up. Both Memphis and Jerry really want the win. Renny loves being in the astronaut suit and is having fun. Jerry dropped a piece and took a long time picking it up. Like Michelle, Jerry claims to do puzzles all the time and is good at them. Memphis won the heat!
Keesha and Memphis in the final round with a new puzzle. Ollie tells us he's happy because he has the power. Dan is happy, couldn't have orchestrated the whole thing any better. Memphis WAY beat Keesha! Michelle grimaced. Ollie did fine.
Ollie is giggling because Renny or Keesha will go up. Dan thinks Ollie and Michelle are going to be shocked.
Memphis and Dan celebrate in the HOH room. Memphis thinks Michelle is a loose cannon, hostility in the house. Dan says they can beat Ollie. Dan tells Memphis to keep things mum. Dan tells Keesha and Renny about the third part of the deal. "Dan's not a very good negotiator," says Memphis. Dan wants Ollie to continue thinking the deal is on. "You're going to need some protection," Renny says.
Ollie wants to talk to Dan now. Dan says he's going to try to talk Memphis out of using the veto. Ollie tells him he wants to put Keesha up. Dan tells him his hands are tied. Ollie tells him three people in the house won't come after him next week -- Ollie, Jerry, Michelle. Of course, Dan already has Keesha, Renny, and Memphis.
Dan wants to cause drama and fights amongst others so the attention is off of him. Dan tells us at the veto meeting, he will get each HG to pick a replacement nominee so they all get mad at each other. Michelle says Keesha, Dan tells Ollie that he needs him to say Renny. Ollie agrees to do it. Keesha has no problem saying Michelle. Renny gets questioning and thinks it's a cop-out. Wait, Ollie's going to say mine? Renny is peeved but says she'll say it. Dan says Michelle is going up, but he needs the fireworks.
Ollie is so proud of himself and hopes it follows through. Veto meeting time! Memphis speaks as POV winner. Jerry speech -- COngrats, awesome job, don't expect him to use it on him, nice speech. Memphis saves himself. Dan gets up, worst case scenario, wants to have fun, play games -- Replacement Nominee Roulette. Who do you wish, be truthful, if you don't say a name, you go on the block.
Michelle: Keesha -- Ollie: Renny --- Keesha: Michelle --- Renny: Ollie
Gamble is a risk, Ollie you lost a bet, Michelle you go on the block. They stare. Daggers! Michelle thinks it doesn't make sense she got backdoored for someone else's deal. She threatens in the DR. He's a plant, y'know.
Ohh , the lollipop throwing and a bit of outdoor. They edited a cringe on Dan as he was in the HOH for the lollipop throw and the backyard rampage.
As Jerry continues to watch the washing machine (his form of television, I guess), my latest live feeds post is up over on TV Squad. Remember to stop back later as the show airs here on the East Coast. At about 9 PM ET, I'll get the live-blogging post up and then my full review/recap of the episode will go up on TVS sometime much later.
Oh .. and welcome aboard all the new faces in comments! Make yourselves at home. I'll send someone around with the beverage cart soon.
;-)
Now, you know that yesterday's rather explosive (or, in Ollie's case, implosive, too!) events would be prime fodder for graphic arteest Zoetawny! Ollie may implode, but Zoetawny rocks. The huge problem with a day like yesterday is that after all the excitement, it all turns into boredom as they contemplate their navels or something. Or they just repeat the same conspiracy theories over and over again from their grassy knolls. Here's the latest:
- Ollie and Michelle discussed their "Dan is a plant" theory too many times. BB started cutting the feeds when they brought it up. It's all based on Ollie being sure that he saw Monica at a production meeting when Dan said he was there alone and had lied to Monica, telling her he was going to Miami on vacation.
- From what I can gather, Dan has applied to be on the show before and it's very possible that Monica has, too. However, I don't think Monica has anything to do with this season.
- Renny laughed as she examined the football picture of Coach Dan which Ollie has deemed fake because "the neck is too big."
- Michelle worked on Memphis. Why would Dan put him (Memphis) on the block when he was breaking the deal anyway? He could have just put Ollie and her up there in the first place. Also, why would Dan ask him not to use the veto to save himself? She promised not to put him up if she stays and wins HOH this week.
- She wants him to vote to evict Jerry.
- Memphis played along nodding and occasionally acting surprised, but Michelle embellished it all in her report back to Ollie.
- Renny told Dan that Michelle asked for her vote (to stay). She said she was too flustered to even think (to Michelle) and didn't commit to anything.
- Renny and Dan had an extended bonding session. No, not like Ollie and April! Just talking, Dan telling sad childhood stories appealing to her motherly ways.
- Michelle worked on Keesha. She told her it was Dan leading the call for her (Keesha) to go when she and Libra were on the block.
- Keesha doesn't buy the goods and just nodded a lot.
- Keesha told Renny that she has to control her emotions.
- BB fixed the lamppost broken in Ollie's rampage.
- The HOH room finally figured out that the Ollie crew told Jerry about the third part of the deal before the PoV Meeting.
- Renny asked Dan if he ever saw the movie Harold and Maude. Nope, so she told him it was about an older woman and a younger man. He said she was flirting with him. These two are fun to watch when they get going.
- Memphis and Keesha talked about setting up fake puzzles to promote conspiracy theories.
- No more violent outbursts and, although he hasn't said it, I would imagine BB read Ollie the Riot Act.
- They're all asleep as I post this.
My latest live feeds post is up over on TV Squad. A lot of it is already covered here and in comments, but go ahead and check it out!
Ollie is still in the house, but I bet he got quite a warning!
