After Jessie won HOH in Big Brother 10 Episode 4, it became even more apparent that the house was split into two sides. Dan made a decent effort to plead his case. Angie made a (weak) effort as well. Steven didn’t even try.
Steven says his feelings are hurt because he doesn’t like Jessie’s reasoning of offending him for not going upstairs (though last time he gloated about not caring enough to go see the HOH room). His plan is to read and hide in his room.
Jessie believes he doesn’t have a target on his back.
Memphis and Jessie want to be allies. Memphis says he trusts Michelle (a good pick for both of them because Jessie appears interested in a showmance) and Angie (the chick who tried to screw them over last week).
After discussing Hurricane Katrina with Renny, Steven has more respect for her.
Keesha hopes to win veto so she can save Steven. She feels sorry for him because he’s been through so much in his life. Yeah, so would a jury. Her allies continue to not get her logic and are turning on her (still).
Jessie picks Michelle for veto.
Dan picks Libra (houseguest’s choice).
Steven picks Keesha.
Dan plans to throw the competition so he’s seen as non-threatening. At least he gets how to play this game. People were saying Brian was the Dr. Will and had to go as a result, but I’m seeing some Dr. Will in this guy.
The veto competition is to spell out phrases with license plates. A series of plates are revealed on a wall and must be unscrambled. Dan answers wrong and is eliminated on the first question (don’t be that obvious). Jessie also gets eliminated on the first question. Keesha is correct and scores 10 points. Memphis is wrong on the second question and is eliminated. Michelle gets the second question right and scores 10. The third question is worth a slop pass, but whoever gets it will be eliminated from the veto competition. Michelle wants Keesha to answer it. Libra says she knows the answer but refuses to answer, as she’s worried about what Keesha will do if she wins veto. Libra gets the fourth question wrong and is eliminated anyway. Keesha gets the final question wrong and is eliminated. Michelle wins the power of veto.
Steven warns Keesha the others will stab her in the back as soon as they can. She decides she hates Libra, and Renny says she wants her gone as well because it gives her the opportunity to shift attention away from herself.
Keesha confronts everyone and says she had no plans to change anything. She says she was told by someone that someone else was talking about her. Whoever someone and someone are. She wants to know if people really think she’s stupid enough to keep Steven around. No response.
After this discussion, she goes to Jessie and Memphis to try to turn them against Libra. They consider backdooring Libra (and keeping the two people who they know are after them).
Renny exaggerates a conversation she had with Libra about Jerry being old, and then Jerry takes it a step further by misinterpreting it even more. Libra flips out and says it’s not true. She finds out that it was Renny spreading gossip. Then Renny gets to screaming as well. This plan of stirring the pot is only smart if you’re more cautious about it.
Michelle’s not so sure about the plan to use the veto because she’s the one who has to stick her neck on the line. She gets assurances from Steven (one of the nominees), which doesn’t exactly set her mind at ease.
Michelle ultimately decides to not use the veto. Dan doesn’t care. Steven plans to give people some swirlies. Keesha didn’t learn from last week (and the nominations that followed this week) and wants to be the latest person to side with the minority.
