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.

BB10 Spoilers

Brian played himself right out the game and was the first person to be evicted from the Big Brother house in Big Brother 10 Episode 3. With his HOH win, Jessie, the original target last week, reversed his fortune and now has the power to decide who he wants to be nominated. Kinda.

Jerry doesn’t feel any remorse over what he did because Brian tried (badly) to play everybody, including him.

Angie has decided she hates the whole house, but she at least realizes she was a dumbass. Dan knows he stuck out like a sore thumb.

Jessie’s still saying that Renny should have apologized by now since he’s HOH (even though she has apologized multiple times already). Immediately following the HOH competition, though, Dan, Angie, and Steven decided to go to their own side, making it pretty clear who’s got targets on their backs.

The girls hope they can prevent Jessie from wasting his HOH week and putting up Renny. She’s the type of player who people will keep saying “We can get her next week”… until it’s final two and she’s still standing despite having done nothing to get there.

Steven doesn’t want to see Jessie’s HOH room, and he doesn’t even pretend to be interested. He just doesn’t go. Yep, keep isolating yourself, dude.

Jessie’s first pitch is to put Renny on the block. During this group discussion, nobody offers any support at all for Renny’s nomination (on the contrary, they tell him he’s an idiot for wanting to nominate her). They want him to target the other side. They also notice that Keesha may or may not be with them.

Jerry’s wife is sick, but he has promised her he won’t put her in a nursing home no matter how bad things get.

Despite being very religious, Dan doesn’t have an issue with Steven being gay and looks at it as an opportunity to learn something new.

Angie wants to chat with Jessie. He wants to know why she hasn’t bothered to talk with him in the 24 hours prior to that. He tells her he’s not an idiot and that he’s actually an intellectual. Or something.

It’s time for the food competition, another attempt by the producers to hospitalize the players. Ollie, Jessie, Angie, Michelle, Dan, and Steven are on the green team. April, Jerry, Renny, Keesha, Libra, and Memphis are on the red team. Because the entire explanation is in a really bad French accent, it’s hard to follow what the heck is going on here, but I think I finally got it. The throwers must pick out their team’s colored cork. The pluggers must plug up the holes in the tower using the corks the throwers throw to them. The catchers must get wine from the other team’s tower to fill their bottles. Nobody’s surprised to see that the green team wins and is on food, while the red team is on slop. Libra and April are back on slop again and are cranky about it. Keesha’s sick of them, but they’re all already turning on her anyway, so it’s a little late for that.

Dan goes into Jessie’s room and hopes to get him alone before the nominations. He plans poorly, failing to realize that somebody might follow Jessie up there. Since Ollie goes with him, Dan scurries into the bathroom and pretends he really had to go. Later, he has a better plan (to ring Jessie’s bell when he knows he’s in there on his own). When he returns, he says he expects to be put on the block, but that he proved he is loyal and won’t forget if he helps him out.

Memphis didn’t talk to his father growing up… until he found out he had 6 months left to live and decided to get back in Memphis’ life. Because of that, Memphis says he doesn’t ever get emotional. He hopes to be able to use that to his advantage in this game and be able to not blow up on anyone.

Nominations
Keesha is safe.
Ollie is safe.
Michelle is safe.
Jerry is safe.
April is safe.
Libra is safe.
Memphis is safe.
Angie is safe.
Renny is safe.

Steven and Dan have been nominated for eviction. Both of them made their own beds. Dan at least made an effort, though, whereas Steven just kept digging and digging. With that said, Jessie secretly wants Dan as his ally, but he hopes Steven goes home. Of course, if that’s his plan, he needs to be prepared for it to come back and bite him in the butt because Dan could easily be heading out the door.

BB10 Spoilers

Brian played the game hard from the minute he stepped in the house. Too hard. Jessie’s veto win in Big Brother 10 Episode 2 gave the house (led by Brian’s ally of two days Ollie) the opportunity they needed, and eight of them walked in the HOH room and demanded that Jerry put Brian up on the block.

Julie Chen’s got a live audience to screw up in front of this year. Does this make rigging the competitions more difficult or less difficult?

After nominations, Brian realizes that Dan was loyal but that Ollie was the ringleader and will flip without hesitation. Brian’s bitter with Jerry’s decision (which if he didn’t make he would have been a goner) and calls his honor into question.

Dan says he won’t compromise his word for the money. Good thing this conversation is being recorded so we can call him a hypocrite in a few weeks.

Now that the boys are out of the way, Ollie and April are free to play. Ollie feels he will be the sucker in this. Typically, that’s how it plays out.

With the idiotic day one alliance now dead, the guys hope to break up the new power trio of girls.

Brian’s got Dan, and he appears to have Steven. Now he just needs to find three more votes plus get Jerry.

Since he finally realizes he’s not in control of anything, he wants to get the house to enjoy his company so that they won’t want to vote him out. It doesn’t hurt that he’s up against Renny, who nobody likes. In a sock puppet eviction, Brian loses by a vote of 3-0. Julie may be getting concerned she’ll be replaced. He’s got Angie on his side as well. His next hope is Memphis (the guy he tried to get backdoored) and Jessie (the guy he got put up on the block in the first place, though he does hate Renny).

Keesha believes she overhears a group of people talking about her, which leads to an explosion between her and April. Apparently April does not trust her or something. Except the only reason April doesn’t trust her is because she thinks April doesn’t trust her.

Jessie tells Julie the hatchet has not been buried. Renny wants him to do as he says.

Libra isn’t concerned about the critics and says that she just needs her family to support what she’s doing.

Jerry says he doesn’t regret being put in the position of HOH and just did what he could considering it’s a game. He’s happy with the girls (who he calls Jerry’s Angels), as he believes they saved him by warning him he was in trouble if he kept his alliance with Brian.

Votes
April: Brian
Libra: Brian
Michelle: Brian
Ollie: Brian
Dan: Renny
Jessie: Brian
Keesha: Brian
Memphis: Brian
Steven: Brian
Angie: Brian

By a vote of 9-1, Brian has been evicted from the Big Brother house. He had potential, but he blew it by forming an alliance or three with everybody within the first days. The only one dumb enough to go against the plan is Dan, but it’s not as if he didn’t already have a huge target on his back. Brian hopes Dan will do well but believes Memphis will win, which is the reason why he wanted to get rid of him.

The power is back up for grabs. It’s majority rules.

Who does the house believe is more likely to commission a life size portrait of himself? Brian or Jessie?
The majority says Jessie. Only Memphis is wrong.

Who would you trust as a fashion consultant? Renny or April?
The majority says April. Renny and Keesha are eliminated.

Who would the house rather see wear only a bikini for the summer? Angie or Keesha?
The majority says Keesha. Michelle, Dan, and April are eliminated.

Whose life story would you rather read in 50 years? Memphis or Dan?
Everyone says Memphis.

Who wore the Big Brother honey the best? Jerry or Jessie?
The majority says Jessie. Angie is eliminated.

Who is vain enough to think they will be the majority’s choice for this question? Libra or Steven?
Everyone says Steven.

Who would convert to another religion to satisfy their partner? Dan or Ollie?
Everyone says Ollie.

Who is most likely to never get divorced? Michelle or Memphis?
This is a tie.

The final question is a tiebreaker. How many total pillows were on the giant bed at the start of the Sweet Dreams, Honey competition? The correct answer is 300, so Jessie’s answer of 200 is the closest. Typical Big Brother. From the bottom of the pack to the top in one week.

BB10 Spoilers

In the first twist of the season, the house had to vote for a new HOH outside the house before they even said a word to any of them in Big Brother 10 Episode 1. Brian took the bull by the horns and pushed Jerry into nominating the two people he wanted to see nominated: Renny and Jessie, who had been arguing the night before.

Renny seems to be trying to get over the fight, but Jessie doesn’t have any interest in discussing it. Instead he runs up to Jerry’s room to try to get in his good graces. Jerry wants to cut a baby in half. Or something.

When Jessie comes back downstairs, she begins talking to him again. She gets nowhere still. He wants an apology. She apologizes to him, and he says it’s about time. Except she apologized to him immediately after the incident. Now she’s past him being a baby and tells him he has a forked tongue.

Brian, Ollie, and Dan, on the strength of their night one alliance, believe they have control of the house. Brian tries to drag Angie in with him, telling her he’s getting the numbers and has Jerry doing whatever he wants. Then he goes to Steven and makes a deal with him. Then Memphis, who’s not very receptive to the plan.

April’s already flirting with Ollie and looks ready for a showmance.

Jerry selects Memphis at random for the veto competition.
Renny selects Michelle.
Jessie selects April.

When the houseguests head out into the backyard in their pajamas, they see the backyard has been turned into a giant bed, containing colored pillows with colored veto bears inside. They must fill 5 jars with their bears, crawling through a river of honey in the process (thereby also covering themselves in feathers). Renny’s out of the challenge before it even starts. Memphis scores first, followed by Jerry. Michelle is the next to score 1, then she’s the first to 2. Jessie gets 1, and Memphis is behind him with his second. April gets her second. Renny’s bringing up the rear with her first. Memphis takes the lead with 3, and Jerry’s behind him with his second. Jessie also gets his second. Michelle is now at 3, and so is Jessie. Michelle and Jessie move ahead with 4 each. Jessie gets his 5th bear, and with that, he wins the power of veto.

Memphis may not have won the competition, but he did well enough to get some fear into the other guys.

Ollie promises April, Libra, and Keesha they’re safe, and Brian says Memphis is going home. The girls are afraid because Brian’s playing too hard. Libra realizes their plan: get rid of the stronger guys so that then they can turn on the girls. It’s not long before the girl power conspiracy is floating through the house.

April gets pissed off by this concept and goes to confront Ollie, asking whether he’s with Brian and Dan. He doesn’t deny that he has an alliance (nor do they give him the chance to do so), but he does say he’s on her side. He gives her and Libra his word. Too. They want to teach Brian (and by extension the rest of the house) a lesson: don’t take too much power.

Ollie pays Memphis a visit to warn him he’s going to be backdoored.

The house unites as a whole (minus Brian and Dan) to confront Jerry about putting Brian on the block. Ollie is the ringleader in this plan, jumping from the sinking ship that was his original alliance pretty quickly. They promise Jerry he’ll be safe week two, but they make it pretty clear he’d better cooperate.

After Renny uses her veto ceremony time to tell Jessie he put a target on his own back, Jessie uses the power of veto on himself obviously.

Jerry agrees to honor the house’s wishes and nominates Brian. He could have been good at this game, but he played too hard too fast. If he survives, he needs to tone it down.

BB10 Spoilers

Just a couple months after the last season ended (one which, if nothing else, sucked less than the last few have), it’s time for Big Brother to start its 10th season. In addition to returning host Julie “Chenbot” Chen, the 13 strangers (yes, all strangers for the first time since Big Brother 3) that make up the Big Brother 10 cast are:

Angie
April
Brian
Dan
Jerry
Jessie
Keesha
Libra
Memphis
Michelle
Ollie
Renny
Steven

Jerry says he’s the oldest person ever on reality TV, and he’s seen every episode of Big Brother, even season 1. April believes she can get the guys to do whatever she wants. Libra says she’s a chameleon, typically a pretty safe role if somebody can pull it off. Memphis thinks he’s a hustler. Keesha may well be this year’s Holly/Janelle. Michelle plans to be loud and most likely obnoxious. Steven hopes he can blend in well with the women, which has historically been true about gay guys on this show.

They’re going to be choosing the first HOH before anyone moves into the house. All they have to go on is first impressions, not having said a word to any of them. They all vote, but the results will remain a mystery for the time being.

April voted for Renny because she thinks she looks like the motherly type. Little does she know. After she gets to know her, she decides she’s nuts. She’s not alone, as Renny’s already getting on a lot of people’s nerves.

Keesha voted for Jerry because he looks so nice and sweet.

Steven doesn’t reveal that he’s gay at the very first meeting, as if half the people don’t notice already.

Dan hopes to be Brian’s ally because he thinks they have a lot in common.

April lets everybody feel her boobs to prove they’re real.

The house divides into two groups of six for the first competition. There’s an odd man out, so Jessie volunteers to sit out because he doesn’t want to be seen as a physical threat (it’s a little late for that). The first challenge is a reward challenge, and they will be competing for a vintage car. Huh? This is Big Brother. They’re not supposed to give stuff away unless it’s related to a movie premiere. Jessie’s upset about this, but it’s really quite simple: you don’t want to win a reward on night one. Granted, the car is worth more than any of these people will make directly from this show unless they finish first or second. The good news for him is that the winning team eats, while the losing team goes on slop. Yes, slop is back, despite two people being hospitalized for it last year.

They go outside to see two VW bugs upside down. They must all climb in, pull themselves across the ceiling, and hop out one at a time on the other side until they’re down to just one person left. That person will win the car.

Renny is first out for the red team. Libra is first out for the white team. Michelle is the second person to hop out for red. Keesha drops for white. Angie jumps out for red. Dan jumps out for red. Jerry takes a fall while getting out for white. Steven and Memphis do rock, paper, scissors, and Memphis wins this, so he gets the car. He chooses the 69 Camaro rather than the 66 Mustang. Red team gets food, but the white team is already on slop.

With three votes and finishing second for HOH is Renny. The winner of the first HOH is Jerry. No surprise, although I would think he’d serve a better purpose as a pawn nomination than HOH.

Dan and Brian begin talking alliance already, which is stupid because these night one alliances typically fall flat on their faces sooner rather than later. They decide to bring Ollie in with them.

Renny wakes everybody up in the middle of the night and begins screeching. Jessie, who was in the next room, is upset by her loudness and confronts her about it. She wants him to just get over it.

Brian goes to Jerry to chat. He tells him he was in the Air Force, which gets Jerry to trust him. Jerry wants an alliance. Brian considers this a temporary alliance.

Jerry wants Dan out because he’s a loose cannon, but Brian doesn’t hide very well that he’s in an alliance already. He also brings up Memphis, who won a car earlier. Brian poses the scenario of Jessie against Renny, which Jerry is okay with because it would eliminate conflict.

Nominations
Michelle-Safe
Angie-Safe
Memphis-Safe
Libra-Safe
April-Safe
Brian-Safe
Steven-Safe
Keesha-Safe
Ollie-Safe
Dan-Safe

As planned, Jessie and Renny have been nominated for eviction. He tells them he’s nominated them due to their conflict. All this does is make them hate each other even more, but it does keep Jerry’s hands fairly clean.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another recap of Big Brother 10 episode 2, which airs Tuesday at 9/8c on CBS.
