Following Libra’s eviction, power shifted once again as Renny won HOH in Big Brother 10 Episode 15.

Keesha’s happy she’s at least a little more liked than Libra is, as if that’s saying something.

April’s already plotting how she will act if she’s nominated against Jerry, who she has also decided she hates.

Renny doesn’t want Keesha to be close to anybody but her, and she wants her to stop being so friendly to Memphis. While the goal here is to get Keesha to be worried about Memphis, their discussion just leads her to be concerned about Renny.

Ollie and April try to convince us they’re far beyond just a showmance.

Renny wants Michelle to be on her side. She wants her to swear on a bible, on her parents, and in blood that she won’t turn on her. As for Keesha, well, that alliance with her continues to fade.

It’s a gross food competition. They will be eating slop, pig ears, and crickets. After saying grace, Dan downs a plate of crickets to earn a point for the red team. Michelle, who loves pig ears, instead opts for crickets, and she earns another point for the red team. Jerry eats a bowl of slop with much difficulty and earns the first point for the blue team. Memphis eats pig ears to earn a second point for the blue team. Michelle happily eats some pig ears to earn a third point for red. April, a vegetarian, selects pig ears for some reason, which she eats to win the food competition for the red team. April, Michelle, Dan, and Keesha are on food. Jerry, Memphis, and Ollie are on slop, in addition to the one item America voted for, giant lollipops.

Ollie’s afraid of birds. Yep, nothing quite as terrifying as the deadly man-eating crow.

Renny tells Dan she may need him to be a pawn. She believes that putting him up will minimize her enemies. The others all tell her this is a stupid idea. Eventually, she comes up with the idea of bouncing this off Ollie to see where he stands, and he interprets this as meaning April is her target. He says he’s there to win, but he still pushes for her to get rid of Jerry instead of April.

Nobody feels safe because Renny’s a bit of a nutcase.

Nominations
Dan is safe.
Keesha is safe.
Ollie is safe.
Memphis is safe.
Michelle is safe.

Jerry and April have been nominated for eviction. She tells April it’s because she’s a big threat, and she tells Jerry it’s about revenge for him nominating her. Keesha doesn’t get why Renny didn’t nominate April and Ollie. April’s very excited about being on the block against Jerry.

BB10 Spoilers

Jerry won the veto in Big Brother 10 Episode 14, and despite how much he hates Dan’s guts and intestines, he decided to honor the HOH’s wishes and keep Libra and Keesha on the chopping block.

Nobody can believe the words that are coming out of Jerry’s mouth. I wouldn’t want to be one of his allies, who can’t believe it either. Dan’s thrilled because this has backfired and created sympathy for him rather than getting anyone to hate him as intended.

April’s prettier than Keesha. Or at least that’s what April tells us.

Memphis has a new plan. Him and Dan going to the end with Renny and Keesha.

According to April, Dan is dangerous because he’s turned against his alliance once already. When did that happen? She and Ollie want to get Dan’s vote to keep Libra around. Yeah, apparently they didn’t learn their lesson the last time a secret vote was organized. Libra tells Dan she’s got three votes, not really getting into more details than that. He says he’ll think about it. Don’t tell Jerry that. He’ll view it as some sort of religious promise.

Libra’s husband was happy that she took the Hawaiian trip like she knew he would be, contrary to what Michelle’s whining would have suggested.

Dan admits that he’s made some mistakes in the game, but he just plans to go to confession when he gets out. Jerry calls religion a prop. Whatever that’s about.

Michelle says she says a lot of things without thinking, but at least she’s aware of it.

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

By a vote of 6-0, Libra has been evicted from the Big Brother house and is the first member of the jury. She walks out with a smile and hugs everyone. She thinks she would probably be friends with April and Keesha outside the house. She’s surprised the others gave her so much credit/blame for what happened in the house.

The HOH competition is about quotes that the evicted houseguests said in the diary room. Whoever gets an answer correct can eliminate someone else from the competition. Renny is correct and eliminates April. Dan is correct and eliminates Jerry. Ollie is incorrect and is eliminated. Memphis is incorrect and is eliminated. Dan is incorrect and is eliminated. Renny is correct and is the new HOH. Power swings back the other way. Typical.

America’s vote this time is pointless: the opportunity to give the houseguests an additional food item.

BB10 Spoilers

Big Brother 10 Episode 13 saw yet another set of predictable nominations as Michelle put Libra and Keesha on the chopping block. Somewhat less predictable was that these people outdid themselves in terms of how psycho crazy they can be. The burn in Hell bit was a particularly nice touch.

Michelle wants Libra and Keesha to know how it feels to campaign against each other and have their own alliance have to pick between the both of them because that’s what they (aka April) did to Jessie.

April’s key being the first one out of the box wasn’t lost on anybody.

Michelle tells Keesha that Libra is her target because Libra and nobody else wanted each of the first four people gone. This logic is not like our earth logic.

Dan’s only concerned if Jerry, who wants him on the block, wins veto.

Michelle selects April for veto at random.
Keesha selects Memphis.
Libra selects Jerry.

Jerry believes Dan’s a much bigger threat. He’s correct, although his reasoning behind it is about as lame as could be expected. Michelle says there’s a reason his key was last in the box. So is there also a reason April’s was first?

The houseguests head out into the backyard to see thousands of onions that smell like an armpit. They must gather and chop onions to be placed in either the veto bin or the mystery bin. The person with the heaviest veto bin will win veto, while the two people with the heaviest mystery bins will win the mystery prizes. Dan asks Ollie how bad Jerry wants him out of the house, and the response is that it’s like it’s personal (not to mention childish) and that he’ll probably make a deal with someone if he wins.

Mystery box
Memphis: 33.8 pounds
April: 27.4 pounds
Michelle: 19.4 pounds
Keesha: 17.6 pounds
Libra: 17.2 pounds (no onions)
Jerry: 17.2 pounds

April and Memphis win the mystery prizes. Memphis will be able to wear a custom made onion necklace for 24 hours. April will receive 5 designer outfits selected by a personal stylist.

Veto box
Memphis: 25.8 pounds
April: 27.4 pounds
Michelle: 31 pounds
Keesha: 29.8 pounds
Libra: 32 pounds
Jerry: 36.8 pounds

Jerry has won the power of veto, obviously a lot more desperate for veto than anybody else on his “side.” Libra thinks she’s a goner.

Michelle wants things to stay the same because it would guarantee Libra going home. Jerry wants Dan on the block because he can’t get past how Dan apparently allegedly lied to him with his responses of “Okay, Jerry” during their keep Jessie in the house conversation.

At the feast, everybody tries to pretend they don’t hate each others’ guts. It’s all fun and games until Dan tries to apologize to Jerry. And for some reason Michelle thinks Libra’s a bitch. Then Libra pulls Ollie into the other room and takes the opportunity to bring up the other night’s screaming match, but during their surprisingly calm talk, she tells him what Keesha herself admits: it was Keesha, not Libra, who was the catalyst to the Jessie boot.

So back we go then to how much Michelle hates Libra. She picks up on the most silly detail (a comment Libra said obviously jokingly that nobody else noticed) and tries to use it to get Keesha to turn on her. Michelle pretends the comment sounded serious, and Keesha buys it, causing yet another fight. During this fight, Libra blames Keesha for booting Jessie. This then turns around to Keesha blaming April. Michelle, whose motive was to get Libra and Keesha arguing, is wondering how this backfired and Keesha’s now yelling at her and saying she hates April.

Despite his incessant whining and use of the term Judas during the veto ceremony, Jerry decides to not use the veto because the HOH doesn’t want him to. Dan’s very pleased with the outcome and unphased by Jerry’s melodrama.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of Big Brother 10 episode 15, which airs Thursday at 8/7c on CBS.

Returning to its roots as a popularity contest, Big Brother 10 Episode 12 saw Jessie evicted from the Big Brother house based on America’s vote. Following Jessie’s eviction, Michelle won HOH, putting big(ger) targets on Libra’s and Keesha’s backs since they turned on their alliance for no apparent reason last week.

Tonight’s episode is delayed due to the 60 Minutes/golf overrun (yes, this again). A live recap will begin when 60 Minutes is over.

As he was walking out of the house, Jessie asked Memphis and Michelle to stay together in the alliance that’s been a sinking ship for the past month.

Jerry hates Dan’s guts now. He tells him not to hide behind his cross. This from the guy who took offense to people who took issue with him being a military man and lying.

Michelle promises us she’s flipping this upside down. Yeah, we heard that threat before. April, meanwhile, says that the other people are afraid of Michelle and herself. Wait a minute. That’s the duo to be afraid of? That’s even a duo?

Next up, it’s a competition to see who’s the loudest, most obnoxious person in the house. Michelle, Jerry, April, and Libra are all too close to call.

Eventually this comes around to how Dan needs to burn in Hell because he apparently lied.

Dan asks Memphis to start damage control and try to work his mojo on the lunatic who used to be in his alliance. Dan continues to play the weak player role.

Memphis is getting tired of seeing April’s lips on Michelle’s ass.

Jerry doesn’t want to ever speak to Dan again. Michelle continues to beat to death her bitterness over the unitard competition.

Brian (from this season… not sure why considering who else is there) is back with one person from each of the prior seasons. Chicken George, Bunky, Amy, Jun, Jase, Janelle, Mike Boogie, Jen (at least it’s not what’s his name or his daughter), and Matt are all there to get another 15 seconds of fame. Current houseguests are playing for food. Returning houseguests are playing for cash. Dan is incorrect, not believing that Brett Favre is a New York Jet, so Mike Boogie gets $1k in cash, whereas the house is on slop for Monday. Renny doesn’t believe the ridiculous story that gas is over $6/gallon, so the house gets food for Tuesday. Jerry thinks that Jessie, who was evicted like 8 hours ago, has been offered a magazine cover already, so the house is on slop for Wednesday, and Janelle wins some cash. Chinese officials have banned bald and smelly cab drivers, which Memphis gets incorrect. Ollie doesn’t believe China can prevent rainfall, which they apparently can, so the house is on slop for another day. Libra gets her question wrong as well, as Cheech and Chong have apparently reunited. Michelle doesn’t believe that the earthquake was fake, and she is right, so she wins a feast for the house. April believes that Britney Spears is going to create a country album, putting the house on slop for Saturday. Keesha gets the final question right, scoring the third non-slop day for the week.

Michelle believes Dan’s in an alliance with Libra, Renny, and Keesha. Huh? She also doesn’t realize or care that April nominated her two allies last week, yet now April all of a sudden wants to be her best friend.

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

Libra and Keesha have been nominated for eviction. Pretty obvious result considering their unnecessarily bold move last week. And in case you missed it the first few times, Jerry hates Dan.

BB10 Spoilers

As a special programming note, this episode of Big Brother 10 will be preempted in some markets for preseason football (impacted markets include IA, IL, IN, KS, MI, MO, NY, OH, and RI). Check your local listings to find out when the show will air.

In Big Brother 10 Episode 11, everybody got into a fight with… everybody else. Except Dan. Jessie hates Libra (still) and vice versa. Keesha, after having thrown away the opportunity to get rid of Jessie last week when the rest of the house begged her to take him out, has decided that she now hates him, too. She also apparently hates April. And Renny hates Jerry because, well, I never did figure out why. Michelle hates Libra because she’s a sore loser. Memphis still hates Jerry for calling him a womanizer. At the end of the day, all this arguing didn’t make much difference, and veto winner Jerry kept the nominations the same, so it will be either Memphis or Jessie heading home tonight.

Memphis says there is no alliance any more. Yeah, no kidding. These idiots have gotten picked off like flies.

Like last week when Keesha promised Jessie his safety despite nominating him, April has also promised him safety despite nominating him. Hopefully he won’t take the opportunity to be an asshat again. Once again, the rest of the house feels threatened by Jessie. This time, though, I’d say he’s the less threatening of the two options. Keesha, who flat out refused to get rid of Jessie last week, is mad at April because she is doing the same thing. So is the word I’m searching for here moron or hypocrite? Libra’s also mad because Jessie is (as usual) coming after her if he ever wins anything again.

Keesha and April know they have Renny, but they need a fourth vote to make a move. That fourth vote is Dan (aka America, unbeknownst to them) because they know they won’t get the support of Jerry, Michelle, or Ollie on this issue. Dan gives them his word that he’ll vote with them. The good news for Dan is that America’s already made it apparent to him that nobody likes Jessie. This is the pathetic part, though. BB complains about outside influences, yet they’re letting a public vote singlehandedly shape the entire rest of the game.

April has figured out the same thing. She has Jerry go to Dan to try to convince him to vote to get rid of Memphis. He listens but doesn’t really make any commitments. Dan realizes that, either way, this America’s Player nonsense will screw him, but he’s better off if America votes out Jessie.

Michelle says she loves the unitard. At least she’s done whining about it.

Keesha says that none of the drama from her birthday party has been forgotten.

Libra answers a viewer question that she doesn’t regret taking the trip to Hawaii (probably worth about $10k) instead of a letter from home because her family wants to go somewhere and they’re in good hands anyway. Why are we even dwelling on this anyway?

April thinks she’s still allied with Libra and Keesha. She takes credit for saving them and isn’t happy with how they’ve treated her this week. April wants Memphis gone because he hasn’t made any effort to get her support.

Votes
Michelle-Memphis
Ollie-Memphis
Jerry-Memphis
Libra-Jessie
Keesha-Jessie
Renny-Jessie
America-Jessie

What a silly, silly show. By America’s vote, Jessie has been evicted from the Big Brother house. The lines in the house have been redrawn. Not sure to what. Jessie blames Dan, who he claims swore up and down that he was safe. And apparently the fact that Dan doesn’t go to church on Sundays is a problem. Jessie doesn’t regret any of his asshattery. April’s shocked that the person she nominated for eviction has actually been… evicted. Libra tells him good riddance. Keesha tells him the same. As does Renny. Michelle vows to get revenge for him.

Obnoxious wake up calls are back. This proved to be entertaining last time they did it during All Stars. The no apparent reason for this becomes somewhat apparent because the HOH competition is based on those wake up calls (yeah, lame). Everybody gets the first question right. Renny and Ollie are eliminated on the second question. Jerry, Dan, April, and Memphis are eliminated on the third question, leaving Libra against Michelle. Michelle is correct on the fourth question and wins HOH. Big surprise. April celebrates more than she did when she won HOH, and Libra and Keesha’s insistence on screwing over their alliance has come back to bite them just 5 minutes after the fact. Major coup followed immediately by a realization that it was an unnecessary move, the kind of stupid game ending move somebody always makes at this point in the game. Memphis is quick to let Michelle know he doesn’t want anything to do with the people who saved him.

BB10 Spoilers

Jessie was nominated as usual in Big Brother 10 Episode 10, but as with last week, he was not the HOH’s intended target. Instead, April is aiming for his ally Memphis.

Michelle thinks the pawn typically goes home, which is true. The good news is that these dumbasses kept Jessie last week even though he was a dumbass.

Dan’s got a new task from America. He must hug Jessie for at least 10 seconds. America has issues. Either that or people are hoping to get a preview of Jessie’s gay porn debut. Dan decides to approach Jessie with a sob story about his girlfriend Monica. Jessie is very moved by the story, and Dan manages to pull off the hug for 17 seconds.

April selects at random Michelle for veto.
Jessie selects Libra.
Memphis selects Jerry.

Jessie’s happy to have his ally having his back. April has no confidence in either Jerry or Libra, and she doesn’t hide it from Libra. Libra walks out and begins discussing it with Keesha, who also has problems with April. Jessie is awakened by their loud conversation and overhears everything.

Jessie goes to April and tells her what he overheard. April gets it into her head that she’s going to argue with Libra. Ollie doesn’t have any problem with her putting a fresh target on her (their) head(s). While April and Libra are talking, Keesha gets pissed off and walks out of the room, wanting to know why April’s a bitch and who told her what she’d said. After some screaming in the other room about how she hates April’s guts, she returns to tell April how she feels in person. After some pushing, April reveals that Jessie was the one who told her about the conversation. Jerry enters the room to be the voice of reason. Then Renny decides she hates him and goes out into the other room to stir up Memphis.

Jessie decides he wants to argue with Libra. Libra tells Jessie she’s done arguing. Apparently. Wouldn’t know it by the amount of yelling she continues to do.

With that said, it’s time for a merry birthday celebration for Keesha. And they actually let them sing Happy Birthday. Shelling out the bucks to pay for that song instead of For She’s a Jolly Good Fellow… they must really want us to see this moment.

Michelle gets into the mix, asking if anybody even knows what the fight’s about. This just leads to more screaming. Keesha decides she wants Jessie gone and that he’s a little kid.

The veto competition is hockey. In each round, the players will shoot and try to get closest to the center of the net. Whoever is furthest away is eliminated and can choose a prize. Each eliminated person can keep their prize or exchange it with someone else. Memphis misses completely and is the first out. He gets the power of veto, which he probably won’t keep for very long. Michelle misses completely the next time and is eliminated next. She gets a Hawaiian holiday. Jessie is in the slot furthest from veto and is the third person eliminated. He gets a slop surprise, which may or may not come back to haunt him. He trades it with Memphis for the power of veto. April is eliminated next, leaving the two people she thought sucked most (Jerry and Libra) as the last two standing. She wins 10 gold bars worth $1,000 each, which can be used as she sees fit, including giving them to other players. She decides to keep this prize. Libra gets it right in the middle, and Jerry is the last one eliminated. He gets a letter from home, which he trades for the veto after agreeing with April to split the $10k three ways. Libra wins first place, a red unitard (used by Jen and Sheila). She trades it for the Hawaiian trip from Michelle. Memphis’ slop surprise is a one week slop pass, but he also chooses who will be on slop for a week. He picks Jerry and doesn’t believe Jerry will use the veto on him anyway.

Michelle makes it abundantly clear that she’s pissed off at having the unitard. She wants to quit the game. She complains to Big Brother that she’s been made a fool out of, so she makes a big scene to make a bigger fool of herself. Then she tells us Libra’s an unfit mother because she took a trip to Hawaii instead of a letter from home. Jessie promises her she’ll win the next HOH.

As planned, Jerry does not use the power of veto.

Like last week, the house wants Jessie out, but the HOH doesn’t want to hear it. Will they bow down to the HOH again? The irony here is that Keesha now wants Jessie gone, despite throwing away the opportunity to take him out last week.

As his final task, Dan will be voting the way America wants. This has badness written all over it.
