The DVR Gods had other plans for me Tuesday night, so for once, the “Previously on Big Brother” intro was worth watching. Memphis has won the POV and taken Dan off the block, even though he told Jerry he was going to the final two with him and would leave noms as-is.

Jerry tells Keesha he thinks Memphis is going with Dan to the end, now. Gee, do ya think?! Nothing gets past you! This causes Keesha to then go to Renny and ask her if she thinks Memphis plans on taking Dan to the end. Let me again quote the poet johnnysweeptheleg, and say, “Gee, do ya think?! Nothing gets past you!” Keesha, if a person tells you they are taking you to the end, and they win the POV and not only don’t rescue you from the block, but go so far as to take the other person off … they aren’t in an alliance with you.

Oh, and the Easter Bunny is FAKE!

Sorry, hated to have to break all that to you, Keesha. But it is what it is.  [Read more →]

A week’s worth of Big Brother in one night.  Also known as the little less conversation, a little more action episode.  Julie doesn’t want to hear you talk, houseguests.  There will be no foreplay.  Get right to the activities!

The episode begins with a few flashbacks to the post Veto ceremony, with Ollie throwing his tantrum.  Ollie and Michelle believe Dan is a plant.  Not to be confused with the Plant Man. Thinking he’s going to drop some huge revelation on the houseguests, Ollie walks outside and begins telling everyone about the three-part deal he made with Dan.  As Dan explains in the DR, when you light the fuse, you don’t hang around for the dynamite to blow.  So he leaves and lets Ollie explode.  Ollie’s revelation backfires on him. All he does, is tell the HGs what they already knew, which further makes them trust Dan, and Ollie even admits that Keesha was supposed to go up instead of Michelle, which leads Keesha to respond that now she’s even better with Dan’s decision.  Swing and a miss.

The night’s first eviction is no surprise.  Michelle gets the boot, 3 to 1, and upon talking with Julie, finds out that Dan isn’t really a plant.  Which, by rights, should Julie have revealed?  I thought being on the jury, she should go into the final jury vote knowing only what was revealed to her while in the house.  [Read more →]

I can’t help but chuckle at Ollie as he struts around the house all week, thinking that he’s running the show. And why shouldn’t he? So far, through 2/3 of the agreement he made with Dan, Dan has lived up to his end of the bargain. There’s no reason for Ollie to think that Dan wouldn’t continue. But Ollie has vowed to unleash hell if he’s double crossed.

California law states that you must keep your hell on a leash, as well as picking up after it. I think Ollie’s about to be ticketed, because Dan has told Memphis and the DR that he will not let Ollie pick the replacement nominee, should Memphis win and remove himself. Aw yeah, it’s about to get dirty! [Read more →]

Dan’s decisions during last night’s episode will either get him eliminated on Thursday’s episode (remember, it’s a DOUBLE live eviction!) or will take him all the way to the finals.

After hanging for almost four hours, the HOH competition comes down to two people — Ollie and Dan. Ollie doesn’t want to drop, because he knows he’ll be the first to go on the block and go home. Dan doesn’t want to drop because he knows Ollie will be looking for vengeance, since Dan’s decision not to vote to keep April sealed her fate. So Dan does a Big Brother first … and after 10 seasons, in which everything from throwing every competition to shaving a very hairy Bunky’s back has happened, that’s saying a lot. If Ollie lets Dan win the HOH, Dan will let Ollie pick one of the two noms, one other person to keep safe, and if POV is played, Ollie picks the replacement nominee. And if I’m not mistaken, Ollie gets naming rights on Dan’s firstborn. [Read more →]

It’s the question everyone is asking in the Big Brother house. Who shot JR? Oh, and who offered Dan the money? Was it Jerry or April? Michelle thinks it’s Jerry.

April has somehow gotten herself to believe that Dan couldn’t possibly be talking about her since she technically didn’t give him a dollar amount. I believe that she actually believes this, since she also believes that she’s done nothing to anyone in the house and doesn’t deserve to be on the block. April also believes in unicorns, leprechauns and jackalopes. Ollie and April realize they need to swing two more votes their way to keep April. Dan’s the big swing vote, so they begin working on Michelle. But Michelle admits that she will have to vote the way of the house so as to not become a target. Therefore, Dan is the key.

The girl who never offered Dan a bribe, once again, doesn’t offer him a bribe for the second time. April offers Dan “like, money” and safety if he votes to keep her in the house. Seriously. You can trust someone who tells you, “I have, like, money I can give you.”

Really, the Eviction show is like the cream inside a Twinkie. It’s all just filler, to get to the eviction. [Read more →]

Renny’s nominations as HOH have certainly gotten her out from under the radar. Memphis and Dan don’t trust her after her decision to keep Ollie off the block, and even Keesha — Renny’s closest ally — doesn’t fully trust her anymore. The POV competition is important for every single player in this house.

Ollie wants in because people forget he’s even in the house he wants to take his friend (with benefits) off the block. Dan and Memphis want Ollie out of the POV because they know this, and that Ollie won’t be the one to replace her if he wins POV. As luck of the draw would have it, Ollie gets to participate. The backyard is made to look like some haunted graveyard, with mummies, snakes, cockroaches, and voodoo dolls all on display. All it’s missing is a garden gnome, and you truly have evil incarnate back there. Houseguests get five minutes to examine all of the items before they will be quizzed. [Read more →]

Viewers tune in to Big Brother for the drama, not for everything to be all lollipops. But by the end of last night’s episode, that’s what it was. Lollipops. Literally.

To start the episode, all Ollie and April want to do is friend each other. From what I’ve heard about the live feeds, they make like Lionel Richie and friend all night long. But Jerry’s been around lately, every time they want to friend. Even when they leave the room, and run to a bedroom, moments later, Jerry will meander over their way, and crash their party. Jerry’s like a parent whose 14-year-old daughter has her boyfriend over. He won’t allow any doors to be closed, and he has to have them in his direct vision at all times. [Read more →]

Wow, so how dull was last night’s show? I can’t do a straight up (not a Paula Abdul reference) recap of the show. It would put you to sleep. Only thing I can think of is to recap as though two valley girls from 1983 were talking to each other about the show. So I’ll let Suzy and Jamie give you the recap.

S: Ok, so the house was dealing with, like, the aftermath of the Judas comment.

J: I dunno. I’m all confused now. Dan looks nothing like the guy from Judas Priest. Why does Jerry keep comparing Dan to him? It’s dumb.

S: Oh-I-know! And speaking of dumb, what’s up with April? April’s, like, the rainiest month, right? Do you think that’s why her mom named her after it? Cuz she’s a total drip. Did you hear her tell Ollie Keesha has it out for her because she’s better looking than Keesha?

J: Wuh? Gag me with a spoon, Suzy. That girl is guh-rody! But that Judas Priest guy formed an alliance with Memphis.

S: Renegades. Yeah. I liked how everyone thought he was going to be the swing vote.

J: But he wasn’t, right? Wasn’t the vote ubiquitous … or whatever that big word is for everyone voting the same way.

S: No, no, not ubiquitous. Unilateral. [Read more →]

I don’t expect to see any slo-mo video montages of Dan and Jerry skipping hand-in-hand with The Turtles “Happy Together” playing over it. After last night’s episode, we learned that Jerry is absolutely obsessed with Dan. In fact, if the houseguests had rabbits in the house, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised to see Jerry boiling Dan’s bunny during an upcoming episode.

Since Michelle’s nominations, the plan has been to vote Libra out. The only one who could change this, is Jerry. If he wins POV, all bets are off.

This week’s POV competition is called “Cry Me A Veto” and consists of houseguests playing a version of Whack-A-Mole with little Danny DeVito’s popping up in place of the mole. Ok, not really, but that really needs to be an upcoming Veto competition. In reality, houseguests must chop up onions and transfer from their bins into either a Veto box or a Mystery box. Whoever has the heaviest onion box after an hour, wins either Veto or a Mystery prize.

Memphis has no dog in this eviction fight, so he plays almost strictly for the Mystery box. This works well and he wins. Problem is, he wins an onion necklace for 24 hours. Upside is, I saw the two Coreys don this same thing in Lost Boys, and it helped repell vampire attacks.  April is runner up and gets the second prize, which results in 5 designer outfits.  None of that matters.  POV does.  And Jerry has enough onions to beat out Libra for POV.

Well I’m glad to see that the more things change, the more they stay the same in this house. Just as the show ended on Thursday night, on Sunday the hamsters are still fighting. Although suddenly, April and Michelle are BFFs. Funny what winning an HOH will do for your approval rating.

Before HOH keys have even been exchanged, the yelling begins. Anytime Jerry attempts to shout at someone, with the hoarseness and strain on his voice, I’m waiting for him to raise his cane and shuffle after houseguests who have walked across his lawn. After metaphorically trampling Jerry’s tulips, Dan is now public enemy number one to him. Jerry rants about Dan hiding behind his cross. This will come up again. Then the HGs move inside the house, and the arguing continues.

April calls out Libra for swearing on her kids that she would keep Jessie. Libra freaks and says she never swore on her kids about that. Jerry chimes in by calling Libra a dummy. I dunno, Jerry, you’re losing me lately. I dislike Libra as much as the next … but dummy? What’s next, calling her a poopy-head? [Read more →]
