Renny’s HOH win was followed by nominations of April and Jerry in Big Brother 10 Episode 16. I don’t get the sense anybody would miss either of them very much.
Nobody thinks Renny made the right move. Dan believes she may have a secret deal with Ollie. Ollie’s planning to use veto and take April off so that Renny, whose target is April, wastes her time as HOH. Keesha, Memphis, and Dan know they have to fight for veto. Renny tells Keesha that she likes Ollie and doesn’t want to put him up.
Renny chooses Dan at random for veto.
April chooses Keesha.
Jerry chooses Ollie.
April and Ollie are jumping up and down. Everybody else panics and gets angry. They think Renny’s screwing them on purpose.
The backyard is haunted. Ollie’s most scared by the crows. They must examine all of the items for 5 minutes. Then they have to answer the amounts in questions afterward. Players can stay or fold. If they stay, they get a point if they’re closest, but they get eliminated if they’re furthest. Whoever folds continues to the next round but without any points. Ollie, Dan, April, and Keesha fold on the first question. Jerry is closest, so Renny’s eliminated. Ollie and Dan fold on the second question. Jerry scores another point, while April is eliminated. Jerry folds on the third question, though it turns out he was closest. Dan scores a point, but Keesha is eliminated. Ollie and Jerry fold on the next question. Dan scores a second point by default. Nobody folds on this last question. Dan is closest and wins the power of veto. Quite a change in strategy for the guy who’s been playing the role of weak player for so long (quite successfully). His mistrust for Renny is pretty apparent.
April believes she can convince Dan to use the veto on her. Why? Just… why? She hopes to be able to bribe him with the $5k in gold bars plus a promise to not nominate him next week. Dan’s not even thinking anything along those lines. His only consideration is if he should use the veto to save Jerry and force Renny’s hand so she will make the nominations she should have made in the first place. Jerry, having called Dan Judas last week, promises to be loyal to whoever keeps him around this week. Memphis doesn’t trust Renny enough to believe she won’t put him up.
Dan asks Renny if she made a deal with Ollie. She denies any deal, but she again repeats that she likes Ollie. She also doesn’t give any indication that she’d put him up if Jerry were taken off the block.
Dan has decided not to use the veto. He uses the ceremony to bring up the money he was offered. April thinks she’s going home and plans to be a total bitch (apparently, this is a change).
