Following her nominations of Jessie and Angie, Keesha won veto in Big Brother 10 Episode 8 and decided to keep her original nominations intact. Jessie went psycho for most of the episode in an effort to seal his own fate.

Jessie says he knows the way everybody is going to vote, so he can do whatever he wants.

Michelle’s following into the same trap as everybody else who’s been evicted. She’s too emotionally attached to those exiting and doesn’t have the relationships with anybody else.

Memphis suspects that Jessie is the actual target. He runs up to Keesha to tell her that Jerry told Angie she’s not out of the game. Jerry denies it.

Angie’s looking to piss people off (at herself). She lies (or at least holds back part of the truth) and tells Michelle that Jerry said that Memphis, Jessie, and Michelle acted like they were in control of the house. This turns into another screaming match between two obnoxious people. He flat out denies that he will flip to their side in the event they win HOH. They interpret this denial as confirmation that his plan is to flip to them.

The house feels the earthquake that happened near LA the other day. Most of them are afraid because they’ve never dealt with an earthquake. The players take this as an opportunity to hate on each other.

Jessie (block guy) waves bye bye to Libra to let her know he’s coming after her. Yeah, way to convince her to vote for you to stay. Then he calls Jerry Father Time. And Renny hated him from the beginning. The house decides Jessie’s a dumbass, and they begin talking about trying to convince Keesha to let them do it (they will do as she says, for some stupid reason).

According to Julie, the airplane banner had nothing to do with Big Brother. Michelle still pretends she saw something, as if anybody’s buying it.

Jerry says he’s apologized to Memphis for calling him a womanizer.

Keesha says she plans to keep her promise to Libra all the way to the end, although she is more loyal to Renny.

Votes
Memphis-Angie
Michelle-Angie
Jerry-Angie
Renny-Angie
Libra-Angie
April-Angie
Ollie-Angie
Dan-Angie

Despite much stupidity, Jessie easily gets through to next week. By a unanimous vote, Angie has been evicted from the Big Brother house. These people get dumber by the minute.

Since it sucked so bad the first time, America’s players is back, yet again proving that the producers of this show struggle when it comes to imagination and new (good) concepts. America has voted for Dan to be America’s Player for a week. Dan’s aware that this is the worst possible thing he can do for his game, but with the offer of $20,000 on the line, he decides to go ahead and take the deal. Damn you, CBS. His first assignment will be to try to get someone nominated.

And then the HOH competition begins. It’s an endurance competition. Everybody stands on a building ledge and grabs on by a bar. They decide to toss in some aftershocks to make things a bit more interesting.

Want to know who wins HOH? Check out the BB10 Spoilers page.

The Cadence are a percussion rock group reminiscent of STOMP. The judges aren’t so sure, but they’re popular with the ladies. Here’s their performance on America’s Got Talent 3 Episode 7.

Randy Hanson’s our second Ozzy Osbourne impersonator, but he’s actually good. Here’s a video of his performance on America’s Got Talent 3 Episode 7.

Specialist Daniel Jens (US Army) is back from Iraq. Here he is singing I’ll Be on America’s Got Talent 3 Episode 7.

This is the final audition week before we head to Vegas to determine the finalists. The judges will judge the talent of Myspace members. Complete with 2000 Myspace audience members. For real.

Rock & roll magician Michael Trixx does… tricks or something. Piers buzzes him. Hoff buzzes him. Sharon refuses to buzz despite all the hatred from the audience. Piers calls it cheap.

Diva Boy and the Sexplosion dancers continue the bad. They get buzzed and booed.

Eloy Rendon is a motivational speaker. Apparently. I don’t get the pseudo-rap act, and neither does anybody else.

Randy Hanson’s yet another Ozzy Osbourne impersonator, but he’s actually good. Sharon wants to see him with his trousers down. (Video of Randy Hanson’s performance)

Holly Stone, having given up her daughter for adoption because she was only 18, managed to find her daughter on Myspace. Now, at age 44, Holly is singing, and she’s there because she loves Myspace. She sings Martina McBride’s Broken Wing. Piers is pleasantly surprised. Sharon thinks she has a good voice. Hasselhoff isn’t so sure about the beginning but was impressed with her high notes at the end.

The Cadence play a percussion rock show. They sound good, and the girls make it clear they like them. Not sure how far they can actually get with this, though. Piers is surprised he likes it, but he wants something more behind it. Sharon also wants it broader. Hasselhoff agrees to vote yes but expects more next time. Sharon says no. Piers wants to see them back in Vegas. (Video of The Cadence’s performance)

Claudia Hutcheon and her mom Elaine Clark (The Sweetones) warn us they’re unique and different. That means bad. They whistle and begin to pierce people’s ears. Piers calls it irritating, pointless, childish, and a waste of time.

Daniel Jens just got back from 15 months in Iraq. He used to sing and play guitar while he was there. He sings an old standby, Edwin McCain’s I’ll Be. The crowd’s on their feet early for this performance. Sharon gets goose bumps. Piers thinks that, despite the charisma and appeal, there’s a bit of work to be done on the singing. (Video of Daniel Jens’ performance)

Angie got herself nominated in Big Brother 10 Episode 7 by deciding two weeks ago that she hated everybody. Not to be outdone, Jessie opened up his big mouth and put a bigger target on his own back rather than just letting Angie take the fall.

Jessie tells us that nominating him was disrespectful. Uh. What?

Michelle, who’s in a not so secret alliance of four, is wondering when the other not so secret alliance of four changed their plan.

Jerry doesn’t like or respect Memphis, but he’s afraid he’ll win the game.

Jessie immediately runs upstairs and once again tries to spin the target back to Libra. Yep, still not at all concerned that he’s on the block with Angie.

Keesha picks Libra at random for veto.
Angie picks Ollie.
Jessie picks Memphis.

They must put on ridiculous looking flower outfits and then head out to the backyard. They’ll plant themselves in their flower pots and put their heads under a slowly dripping water faucet. Whoever stays in closest to the one hour mark without going over will win the power of veto. Of course, the water dripping on their heads isn’t enough. The rest of the house (Jerry mostly) decides to dump live worms on the contestants when given the choice between worms and compost. Ollie is terrified by the deadly worms. Keesha quits because she’s creeped out by the worms, and she’s out at 21:18. Jessie decides to turn it into gameplay midway through and asks Libra who told him to nominate Steven. At the 45 minute mark, they dump some compost on the contestants to make them even more comfortable. Nobody is particularly phased, and they all just stay still. Libra decides to quit, and Ollie agrees to go 5 minutes after her. She believes it’s been close to an hour. Jessie is the next one to quit because he doesn’t want Libra to beat him. After that, Libra tells Jessie in front of Keesha that she already spilled the beans to her herself. So then Jessie says the problem was he was peer pressured into making a decision by a bunch of people, not just Libra any more. Everybody else jumps out. Having wussed out early, the winner is Keesha. Everybody else went over an hour by at least 15 minutes.

Jessie’s got a new plan. Get Libra nominated. Oh wait. I’ve heard that one before already. Repeatedly. He wants Angie to pitch the idea to remove Jessie and put Libra on the block in his place. When she makes the pitch, she says she couldn’t go another week living with Libra. Yeah, this is the type of person you really want to keep around.

Keesha, Ollie, and April all say they don’t trust Libra because she’s putting a target on her back. For some reason, they don’t see that her being the target instead of them is a good thing (if she goes, they’re next). Despite their worries, though, Keesha has given Libra her word, and she plans to stick to that.

Jessie goes to Keesha to tell her she can’t trust Libra. Yes. Again. Then he gives her a sob story about how he’s losing weight (he’s down to what, 200 now?) and can’t sleep.

America’s Player is back. Oh god no. No. No. No. No. Did I mention no? We already went through this stupidity once. Can we please get a twist that doesn’t suck, CBS? This game is supposed to be about strangers and how they interact, not how America can interfere with and manipulate the game. If there’s any manipulation to be done, the producers should just stick to the usual like rigging competitions. The good news is that it’s just for one week. The bad news is that it’s for one whole week. America will be able to vote for the person they want to be America’s player, and that person must do as they say if they agree to take the deal ($20,000). This is game suicide and would be stupid for anyone to accept.

Jessie’s back to yell at Keesha. Again. With the same story. Again. Dude, we get the point already. She’s starting to realize he’s a few fries short of a Happy Meal. She tells the whole house she’s not going back on her word, so she wants them to stop.

A banner plane flies over the house. Because this ruined season 8, they are no longer allowed to read the cheating banners. Jessie comes up with the idea to pretend it says that Libra’s a liar. After they reveal this, Memphis decides on his own to spin it further. It’s no longer just Libra. It’s Libra and something. Somehow, this leads to a discussion about how Jerry called Memphis is a womanizer, and Memphis threatens to get really real.

Keesha has decided not to use the power of veto. I wonder if Jessie will continue to try to get Libra nominated in the hopes that there will be a twist that will allow her to go home. Or perhaps he will finally start going after Angie, who just hopes she can get him to go crazy. Shouldn’t take much.

As a reminder, eviction nights have been moved to Thursdays, effective immediately.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of Big Brother 10 episode 9, which airs Thursday at 8/7c on CBS.

BB10 Spoilers

Is it the former queen of bubble gum pop, or is it a dude? Apparently, it’s both. Except Derrick Barry looks a lot better than Britney Spears does. Here’s a video of his performance on America’s Got Talent 3.

Clay was the mole’s latest victim in The Mole 5 Episode 8.

Mark’s disappointed to see his coalition partner heading home.

The players are standing at an old abandoned mill on the outskirts of Buenos Aires.

Two people must choose to be young at heart. Paul and Craig choose this, but Jon’s got bad news for Paul: they’re not on the same team, so he’s not going to be able to watch Craig as closely as he wanted. Nicole goes with Craig. Mark gets Paul.

Mark and Nicole operate the cameras that control what their partners see through the goggles they are wearing. In addition to the fact that they can only see what their partner is shooting, the person wearing the goggles also sees everything backwards.

Paul goes first and gets all three of his shapes in a box for $1000 each. Craig gets all three shapes in, but he also gets his partner to talk, which she’s not allowed to do. His last piece doesn’t count.

The next task is to get soccer balls into a net. Paul misses both, and Mark is suspicious of it. Craig, likewise, misses both and looks suspicious to his partner.

After that, they must have a tea party. They’ll have to fill cups with tea without spilling any, for $2500 each. Paul manages to fill all three, but only two count since he spills on the last one. Craig manages to fill all of them, but only one counts.

Now it’s time for the real fun to begin. They must walk a plank suspended above some buildings, grab a piece of chalk, and copy exactly what is written on a chalkboard. They’re strapped in, but it’s nerve wracking nonetheless. Paul finishes his task and writes “Mole was here,” not noticing until the last second the word “the” at the beginning of the phrase. This is worth $10,000 for the pot. Craig has a lot more trouble with this task than Paul did. First, he’s four feet away from the chalk when he tries to pick it up, then he walks past it… but it doesn’t matter anyway because he fails to reach the other side in the minute allotted after picking up the chalk.

Pot total: $353,500 out of $683,000

After the task, Nicole is suspicious of how Craig acted, but Paul hopes to convince her otherwise since Craig’s his top suspect.

Mark hopes for an exemption, especially since there have only been a few of them so far. He keeps discussing this with his fellow players, hoping if he says it enough, there really will be a free pass to the final three.

Mark’s right. All four players will be locked in a cell where they will need to break out by solving a word puzzle, a doublet. Mark’s familiar with doublets and is able to solve it first (in 53 seconds). This allows him to become the sniper with a paintball gun, thereby preventing Nicole from what she’s been looking forward to for a long time (shooting people). It also gives Mark the opportunity to get the exemption. Nicole and Craig solve the puzzle. They wait for Paul because he’s played paintball before. After a very lengthy wait, he finally comes out and has a plan: get somebody (other than himself) to draw fire.

The others aren’t too concerned about the money. They mostly just want to prevent Mark from getting an exemption. He doesn’t shoot guns. He should just pretend somebody burned his journal. He hits Paul, but the paintball doesn’t break. Then he does hit Nicole and eliminates her. While Mark’s focused on having hit Nicole, Paul breaks free and reaches the goal. Then Mark hits Craig. Each escaped prisoner means one less chance for exemption, while each hit means that the sniper gets a chance at being exempt.

The player to have the exemption was predetermined by the cell number, so obviously the mole knew who had it. Nicole doesn’t have the exemption, but Craig does. Since Craig has the exemption and Mark hit him, Mark will be going to the finals.

Pot total: $368,500 out of $728,000

Paul realizes that he’s played a very similar game to Nicole, and as a result of that, he respects her. At dinner, though, he says he doesn’t suspect her at all as being the mole.

All three players say they’re going all for one person on this quiz, as it’s time to make a decision.

Paul has been executed, and he’s not surprised. Nicole’s kind of sorry to see him go because now she doesn’t want to kick anybody’s butt.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of The Mole 5 episode 10, which airs Monday at 10/9c on ABC.

This story should surprise one or two people. Matt Grant and Shayne Lamas from The Bachelor 12 have officially called off their engagement and announced an end to their relationship.

“We tried hard to make it work but we realized that we were both heading in different directions,” the two said in a statement to People. “We truly care about each other and will remain close friends.”

Neither would elaborate beyond that, but we all pretty much saw this coming 152 miles away.

Steven was sent packing in Big Brother 10 Episode 6 following one of the most predictable weeks ever. Since the majority of the house decided to split into two groups, the power as usual flipped back to the opposite group, with Keesha winning HOH.

Now it’s time to dwell on Steven’s classy final words “Suck it, bitches.” And time for Angie to whine more about how nobody likes her. She believes now she can focus more on strategy (even a little bit would be more).

Keesha promises us she will turn the house upside down. She’s seeking revenge for Steven’s boot. Her alliance is happy even though she hates them (and they still don’t trust her), and Renny says she’s happy because she likes Keesha.

Dan threw the HOH competition again, but he didn’t make it quite as obvious.

Keesha has news for the rest of the house. They don’t have the decision. She does, and she’s changing this game. So I guess we know she won’t be standing there in the end. Every time somebody makes one of these big crazy game changing moves, particularly one based on revenge, it’s typically the worst possible move they can make, and ultimately the reason they lose the game.

Keesha feels the same about Renny as Renny does about her. Like Keesha, Renny hates everybody else in the house, so at least they have that in common. Renny wants her to know that Libra can’t be trusted.

Keesha tells her side she wants to put up Angie because she blames her the most for Steven’s eviction. They tell her she should put up Memphis alongside Angie, but it doesn’t appear she’s listening. Then she decides to tell Memphis that Angie’s her target. He tells her to go ahead and go for it, but that she’s creating an unnecessary target on her back by doing that. He immediately goes to his side and tells them everything, having told her he wouldn’t say anything.

Angie blames everybody else and says that it’s their idea, but that Keesha’s just too weak to stand up to them. Hopefully she’ll get a clue sooner or later.

Dan tells Keesha he has nothing going for him (for that matter he doesn’t really want to have anything going for himself either). She tells him he’s safe this week, despite original plans to the contrary, and she expects a returned favor when he’s in power (like he’s stupid enough to ever be in power).

Libra admits to Keesha that she doubted her and that she was targeting Steven.

It’s time for the food competition, where they dress up like the 50s and go to a sock hop. The house will be working together to ensure that nobody gets sent to the hospital this week. The guys get on one side of the wall, and the girls go on the other. They must match a basket of socks, but they can’t see each other. April and Ollie don’t communicate well… they probably don’t come up for air often enough to do a lot of that. Renny mostly just screams a lot, not making a great deal of sense to herself or anyone else. Libra hopes to work well with Jerry since she (aka Renny) called him slow and old. They end up winning a variety of food, a nice break from the slop. Michelle’s most excited about the pigs feet. Renny’s upset that she was the only one to be forced to skip, and the wine they lost is a huge blow to her.

Ollie tells April he always sees construction ahead signs in relationships and that he always takes the detour.

Keesha continues to spill her guts to everybody. She tells Jessie her plan to put up Angie. He tries to convince her that she should put up Libra instead of Memphis. He doesn’t appear to get it through his head that she wants Angie gone, and he just keeps pushing and pushing for her to some way, somehow get rid of Libra.

Nominations
Dan is safe.
Renny is safe.
April is safe.
Memphis is safe.
Ollie is safe.
Libra is safe.
Jerry is safe.
Michelle is safe.

Jessie and Angie have been nominated for eviction. Keesha says that Jessie’s arrogance is what got him nominated. He should have just kept his mouth shut like Memphis did.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of Big Brother 10 episode 8, which airs Tuesday at 9/8c on CBS.
