America’s Got Talent 3 Episode 6
We’re in the Big Apple for like the 18th time.
Perry Zanett believes he’s America’s next big thing and is dressed like a king to prove it. This should be decidedly bad. He does Shakespeare and proves to be a waste of time as expected, though he does get in a good zinger about Hasselhoff being outacted by a car.
Fun with Hand Shadows do… hand shadows. It’s actually not as bad as it sounds, and they get through. Apparently the concept of an act sustainable for an hour in Vegas is not taken into account here.
XL (that’s the best nickname he could come up with?) is there with his wife and young son. He’s a singer who hopes to be able to make ends meet with his music. Hasselhoff likes his vibe. Piers likes his version better than the original.
Next stop again is Los Angeles.
The Texas State Strutters have come to LA from deep in the heart of Texas (rather than just going to the audition in Dallas). 19-22 year old college girls dancing. You know they’re going through to Vegas. Piers thinks it was a little bit lax, but he likes them anyway. Sharon, likewise, is not overly impressed, and she says no. The other two, though, vote yes. (Video of Texas State Strutters performance)
Ronny B hopes he’s one of the finest singer-dancers. Yeah, on this planet apparently. The judges let him carry on despite the fact he sucks (or perhaps because of it). Hasselhoff calls him a freak show. Piers and Sharon are drinking out of Paula Abdul’s cup and say yes. (Video of Ronny B’s performance)
Father and son Darryl and Robert Ackerman (The Snake Kissers) perform the kiss of death on a live cobra. Jerry Springer tells us it’s the most dangerous thing ever attempted on TV, but Robert’s still alive after all these years. Robert kisses the snake on the head. Piers doesn’t get the point because it’s not like anybody died or anything. Hasselhoff enjoys it but doesn’t think it’s enough to go to the next round. Jerry makes sure he’s nice to the duo as they exit with their deadly snake in hands.
Michael Harrison hopes he can follow in Terry Fator’s footsteps. He’s no Terry Fator, but he’s quite entertaining nonetheless. (Video of Terry Fator’s performance)
Single mom Queen Emily David gave up her dream so she could raise her children, but she’s ready to get back out there now and give it a shot. She sings Chain of Fools. Hasselhoff says she’s got a natural gift and is awesome. Sharon wants to know where she’s been hiding. Piers tells her she’s got a great chance of winning. (Video of Queen Emily’s performance)

Big Brother 10 Episode 6
Despite assurances from a powerless nominee that it would be in her best interest to use the veto, Michelle decided not to put her neck on the line in Big Brother 10 Episode 5, leaving the nominations the same, so either Dan or Steven will be going home tonight.
Steven’s got a new plan. He wants people to believe he’s on their side. He approaches Ollie, April, and Keesha. Afterwards, they decide that the other half of the house is going to be against them, so they need to make sure they’ve got somebody else on their side.
Dan makes a pitch to Michelle and Jessie, but he doesn’t want to drive people nuts and get desperate about it, so he makes it brief.
Angie still hates everybody and discusses with Memphis how much she continues to hate April and Ollie. They’re counting on Dan to bail them out with the numbers. Angie and Memphis believe it’s a secret that the fact that they’re allies is a secret.
Even though she hates April, Ollie, and Libra and wishes she weren’t in an alliance with them, Keesha pushes to solidify her alliance behind her plan of keeping Steven and bringing him in.
Libra wants Big Brother to make the competitions fair. Yeah, I suppose you want them to stop rigging them, too.
Julie wants to know about the love in the air between April and Ollie. Ollie doesn’t believe his father would care that he’s having unprotected sex on national TV with a girl he just met.
Renny’s son doesn’t think Jessie was brought up to respect the elderly.
Jessie sees his biggest weakness is that people may group him and Michelle together. He’s concerned that not nominating Renny may come back to bite him.
Votes
Michelle-Steven
Memphis-Steven
Angie-Steven
Jerry-Steven
Libra-Steven
April-Steven
Ollie-Steven
Renny-Steven
Keesha-Steven
By a unanimous vote, Steven has been evicted from the Big Brother house. He’s happy to be going home to someone special, and the houseguests all have nice things to say.
April’s blowdrying her hair and sees an alien. Jessie’s staring at himself in the mirror as usual and sees an alien. Renny’s washing dishes and takes quite a bit of time before noticing an alien. Then things start to disappear by alien intervention. This is obviously all part of a competition. Whoever is not eliminated in each round gets to pick who they want to compete against each other in this one, typically a good way to see where people’s loyalties stand.
April is up against Dan first. Dan is correct, and April is eliminated.
Dan picks Renny and Libra to be the next two. Renny is incorrect and is eliminated.
Memphis and Angie are next. Memphis is correct, and Angie is eliminated.
Ollie and Jerry are next. Jerry is incorrect and is eliminated.
Michelle and Keesha are next. Michelle is incorrect and is eliminated.
Libra and Dan are next. Libra is correct, and Dan is eliminated.
Memphis and Keesha are next. Keesha is correct, and Memphis is eliminated.
Ollie and Libra compete to see who will be in the final two. Libra is correct, and Ollie is eliminated.
It’s down to Libra and Keesha. Libra is incorrect, and Keesha is the new HOH.

Big Brother 10 Episode 5
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.

The Hills Season 4 Trailer
MTV has released a new trailer for The Hills season 4.
The Mole 5 Episode 8
Alex was the Mole’s latest victim in The Mole 5 Episode 7, leaving the pot stirrers (and Craig) to themselves.
Mark says that he thought Alex was the mole.
Players must split into teams: dumb players and smart players. Nicole wants to keep an eye in Craig.
Dumb: Craig and Nicole
Smart: Paul, Clay, and Mark
They will follow clues to various landmarks in the city, where they will do math to get numbers that they must remember in their heads. Dumb players must remember 5 numbers, whereas smart players must remember 3 numbers. This is Mole 101. If you pick the one that sounds easy, you’re going to get screwed.
Clay tries to convince himself and Mark that he’s a math genius. It doesn’t look like either of them end up buying it. They debate over a number until Mark gets his way. Then they get lost because Paul’s got the map and leads them 8 blocks in the wrong direction.
Craig messes up a number, presumably intentionally, then needs to ask how many months are in the Argentinian calendar. Like it’s not 12. After a series of fairly easy counting tasks, though, they then run into a nightmare of a task involving counting tiles and street lights.
The dumb team is back first. The smart team is last back, leaving 7 minutes on the clock to enter their numbers. They have two incorrect numbers. It’s the dumb team from the lamp/tile task. One of them is given the opportunity to go back and count again, with 20 minutes to do so. They send Nicole. She’s got an answer that’s one off what the original answer was (but since the 28 in 228 was wrong, her revised answer of 227 is obviously wrong as well). The guys believe they’ve cracked a code, so they ignore her. And they’re right. Now Clay thinks he’s a math genius again since he pulled the answer out of… he’s not sure where.
Pot total: $281,000 out of $569,000
Mark knows that the mole was at work. Whoever that is. The mole was definitely at work.
Clay and Mark still have a coalition, and both of them are going for Nicole. Mark fully trusts Clay, but Clay takes it with a grain of salt.
Then Clay goes to talk to Nicole. He tells her he mainly answered Craig on the quiz.
The players are asked who they trust the most.
Mark: Clay
Paul: Mark
Craig: Clay
Clay: Nicole
Nicole: Mark (to make it a tie)
Everybody is informed that their loved ones are on their way there by train. Whether they’ll see those people depends on the people they trust most.
Craig must run through 30 questions with Clay about his girlfriend. They have three minutes to go over them, then Jon will ask them to Clay and see what he’s remembered. Craig stumbles through the answers. Then Clay stumbles as well, but he manages to answer 3 out of 5 right, which is enough to add $10,000 to the pot and for Craig to be able to see her.
Nicole then goes over questions about Clay’s wife, and she’s like a machine, remembering them without any trouble. She gets her answers right, putting money into the pot and reuniting Clay with his wife.
Mark asks Nicole questions about her mother. Slowly, but he gets enough from it to get at least 3 out of 5 right.
Clay asks Mark questions about his wife. He, too, is able to spend some time with his wife.
Last up is Paul, who works with Mark. He skips the first three questions, one of which shows up in Jon’s questions. Like Craig, he struggles to give most of his answers. Like the others, though, it’s enough to be able to see his wife and daughter.
Pot total: $331,000 out of $619,000
Nicole says she’s tired of being an outsider in this game. Her plan is to throw the quiz (not sure how that’s possible unless you’re completely sure who the mole is, which people typically aren’t even at this stage) and get herself executed.
Craig suspects Nicole. Mark suspects Craig and Nicole. Clay has voted only for people who went home so far.
There’s a tie again tonight. The person with the slowest time is going home.
Paul is safe.
Nicole is safe despite her earlier melodrama.
Clay has been executed.

Big Brother 10 Episode 4
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.
